Parl Secy issue: Gov to decide fate of 17 M’laya legislators
Correspondent
SHILLONG, NOV 14: All eyes are now on the Raj Bhavan to determine the fate of the 17 former parliamentary secretaries after the Meghalaya High Court struck down a state law providing for such appointments. On November 9, the Meghalaya High Court had held invalid the state law providing for appointment of Parliamentary Secretaries, but left it to the Governor to determine if those who held the post should be disqualified from the Assembly. The verdict by a division bench of Chief Justice Dinesh Maheshwari and Justice Ved Prakash Vaish came on a PIL filed by state resident Madal Sumer, challenging the “extra constitutional and illegal” appointment of Parliamentary Secretaries in the state. A Raj Bhavan official said that Governor Ganga Prasad is waiting the reference of the state government and the assembly speaker on the court verdict on the ap-
NJCF calls for natl day of prayer D I M A P U R , N OV 1 4 (NPN): Nagaland Joint Christian Forum (NJCF) has appealed to all the churches in Nagaland to observe National day of prayer on November 18-19, initiated by Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC). In an appeal note, NJCF vice president, Rev. Dr. N. Paphino and secretary, Rev. Fr. G. L. Khing said that the rationale behind the programme was “to allow people to once more come before God in confession and intercession”. NJCF therefore, requested the pastors of the local congregation to announce and organize prayer meetings during the two days- to pray for our children, young people, parents, church, leaders, present situation, clean election campaign spearheaded by the church, unity and oneness, Naga national political solution and for the negotiation that is taking place in different level for amicable solution.
PWC meet rescheduled

pointment of parliamentary secretary. “The governor is yet to receive a reference from the government and assembly speaker on the court verdict (parliamentary secretary). Once we receive the communication from them, the office of governor will seek the suggestion of the election commission on the matter,” a Raj Bhavan official said on Tuesday. According to Article 192 of the Constitution, if any question arises as to whether a member of a House of the Legislature of a State has become subject to any of the disqualifications mentioned in clause (1) of Article 191, the question will be referred for the decision of the Governor and his decision shall be final. Leaving it open to the Governor to decide on the parliamentary secretaries’ disqualification as assembly members, the bench had noted: “It is hardly a matter of any doubt that when a question arises as to whether a member of a House of the Legislature of the state has
become subject to any of disqualifications mentioned in Article 191(1), the question has to be referred for the decision of Governor; and the decision of the Governor in this regard, on the basis of the opinion of Election Commission, is final.” However 10 of the 17 legislators who quit as Parliamentary Secretaries after the High Court struck down a state law providing for such appointments have said there is no ground for their disqualification as members of the Assembly. Sujit Dey, counsel for the 10 legislators, said that the issue of disqualification from the Assembly becomes “infructuous” since the post of Parliamentary Secretary itself has ceased to exist, and out of respect for the court verdict, all Parliamentary Secretaries had immediately resigned. Hours after the verdict, 17 Parliamentary Secretaries quit their post. Meghalaya chief minister, Mukul Sangma, who accepted their resignation, defended their
appointment and the law. “This law has been enacted based on this mandate of the provisions of the Constitution by which we can prevent the members of the august house from getting disqualified from holding an office of profit wherein law says such office will be deemed as not as office of profit,” Sangma said. However, Madal Sumer who submitted a representation to Governor Prasad on Monday evening seek the disqualification of the legislators named in the PIL citing that “they are no longer legislators for holding office of profit”. Sumer urged the governor, the highest constitutional authority of the state, to exercise his power under Article 192 of the Constitution and to take a decision on the issue of disqualification. On July 26, the Supreme Court had declared as unconstitutional a law enacted by Assam in 2004 that allowed the appointment of Parliamentary Secretaries in the rank of Minister of State.

M’laya Cong leaders to quit party before Assembly polls Shillong, Nov 14 (PTI): Unhappy with the functioning of Chief Minister Mukul Sangma, at least two senior leaders of the ruling Congress in Meghalaya Tuesday openly said they would quit the party before the Assembly election due next year. Senior leaders such as former deputy chief minister Rowell Lyngdoh and former cabinet minister Prestone Tynsong decided to leave Congress. “I have the intention of joining the NPP as the Congress’ ticket on which I was elected had betrayed me and the people,” Rowell Lyngdoh told PTI. Claiming that he and his ‘friends’ were ignored by the chief minister, he said they would resign from Congress and join the NPP the moment the elections are announced. Tynsong said, “I am not happy with the way the chief minister functions as a leader. I will resign very soon, may be before the last session under the present government.” The tenure of the current Assembly expires on March 6 next year. Sources in the Congress said there were at least three more MLAs who would not contest the next Assembly polls on party tickets.

Complaint to DoT, TRAI over RCom stopping services in NE
Emami’s largest production unit opens in Assam
Guwahati, Nov 14 (PTI): An Assam-based consumer rights body has complained to the Department of Telecommunications and the TRAI that Reliance Communications (RCom) has abruptly stopped its services in the North Eastern region without informing the customers. The Consumers’ Legal Protection Forum (CLPF) alleged that about 12 lakh prepaid and postpaid customers of RCom in the North East are affected since the company’s service virtually collapsed since October 26. “In its complaint letter to Manoj Sinha, Minister of State (Independent Charge) Ministry of Communications and RS Sharma, Chairman, TRAI, the forum stated that subscribers of RCom of Assam and other North Eastern states are having a harrowing time since the telecom company stopped its service without any notice,” the CLPF which lodged the complaint yesterday said in a statement. PTI had sent an email yesterday to RCom spokesperson seeking the
company’s response to the allegations. The email was acknowledged, but no clarification came from the company’s side even after 24 hours. “RCom never informed (the subscribers) that it was going to close down its business. There was no text message nor any advertisement in newspapers,” CLPF secretary Ajoy Hazarika said in the statement. The telecom company has violated consumer norms by stopping their service without informing the customers, the consumer rights body claimed in its statement. “There are no prepaid vouchers in the market.... Postpaid consumers are having a tough time to transfer their number to other service providers as they are insisting on clearing the bill first. But RCom has closed its bill payment counters already,” the statement said. TRAI on November 4 said that RCom has informed it that the company will shut down voice call service from December 1 and its customers can move to other networks by the end of the year.

The sinister design and devilish act of attacking the Indian armed forces at the heart of the district HQ is nothing but attacking the peaceful atmosphere of coexistence of different communities and instigating another arm conflict between the Naga and Indian forces, which otherwise is on the verge of finding an amicable solution to the more than 60 year old Indo-Naga conflict, stated NSCN (I-M) in a condemnation note issued by MIP. “The Khurmi Region despite its complexity and regardless of religion, caste and tribe, people live harmoniously and peacefully together for years,” it stated. The political nature of attacking Indian armed forces at a populated Naga area is nothing but a challenge to the Naga peoples movement and her national identity, it added. The Khurmi Region, GPRN has also conveyed its heartfelt condolence to the bereaved families of the deceased personnel and prayed for speedy recovery of the injured personnel.

Rajiv killing: SC seeks Centre’s response on convict’s plea New Delhi, Nov 14 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Tuesday sought within two weeks the Centre’s response on a plea by A.G. Perarivalan, a convict in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination conspiracy case, for suspension of his sentence. The convict pleaded that his sentence should be suspended since the Central Bureau of Investigation’s Multi-Disciplinary Monitoring Agency (MDMA) was yet to conclude its probe into the conspiracy behind the making of a bomb (Improvised Explosive Device) that killed the former Prime Minister on May 21, 1991 at Sriperumbudur in Tamil Nadu. A bench of Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice Navin Sinha asked the Centre to respond. Perarivalan was convicted for supplying two nine-volt batteries used in the IED used in Gandhi’s assassination by a suicide bomber from the LTTE. The court was told that the MDMA was set up 18 years ago to probe the larger
Rajiv Gandhi conspiracy, including the origin and make of IED, and investigations had not concluded till date. Perarivalan’s counsel Gopal Shankarnarayan told the court that the one of the primary purposes of constituting the MDMA was to investigate the larger conspiracy, trace the origin and make of the IED used but the CBI had not been able to conclude its investigation. Perarivalan has already spent 26 years in jail. He was awarded death sentence, which was commuted by the top court in February 2014, on grounds of long delay in deciding his and other death row convicts’ mercy petition
by the President. Perarivalan’s plea for the suspension of his sentence is based on an affidavit by the then CBI Superintendent of Police V. Thiagarajan which says that Perarivalan did admit during interrogation that he had supplied the two batteries used in the IED but he had no clue about their use and larger conspiracy to assassinate the former Prime Minister. The top court had, on August 17, directed the Centre to inform it about investigations into the conspiracy behind the making of the belt bomb carried by the suicide bomber, a young woman identified as Dhanu. “What is the result of the re-investigation or further investigation on this aspect? Kindly address us on this. We want only this,” the court told the government counsel. The court on May 1 asked the CBI to give a time frame within which it would complete the investigation into the larger conspiracy into the assassination.
Battle over ‘rasagola’ not over: Odisha govt Bhubaneswar, Nov 14 (IANS): The Odisha government on Tuesday said it would continue its battle to get the Geographical Indication (GI) tag for ‘rasagola’ even though West Bengal obtained the GI tag for the origin of the iconic sweet, called ‘rosogolla’ in that state. The government termed West Bengal winning the GI tag on ‘rasagola’ an “injustice to Odisha” as the sweet is rooted in Jagannath culture. The Odisha government plans to apply for GI tag for ‘Odia Rasagola’. “If such a decision has been taken, certainly justice has not been done with Odisha. Rasagolla has got an age-old bond with Lord Jagannath culture and our other rituals. It has several mythological and other evidence,” said Finance Minister Sahibhusan Behera. He said the Odisha government will apply for re-examination of the decision taken in favour of the West Bengal government. Notably, the Odisha government, which has prepared a detailed document with the help of historians, is yet to apply for GI tag in its favour.
HC dismisses Kerala minister’s petition plea Kochi, Nov 14 (IANS): In a setback to the Pinarayi Vijayan government, the Kerala High Court on Tuesday dismissed a petition by state Transport Minister Thomas Chandy for quashing the Alappuzha district collector’s report which alleged large-scale land grab by him to build a plush resort. The division bench of the court of Justice P.N. Ravindran and Justice Devan Ramachandran came down heavily on Chandy and observed that it was very strange what a state Minister has filed a petition against the state government “which questions the failure of the collective responsibility of the cabinet”.
Surgical strike was highlight of my tenure: Parrikar Panaji, Nov 14 (IANS): Being a Defence Minister is “a thankless job”, Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar said on Tuesday and added that executing the “surgical strike” across the LoC was one of the highlights of his tenure as Defence Minister. While speaking at a Children’s Day function in Panaji on Tuesday, Parrikar also said that one of the main difficulties of being a Defence Minister was the
Ravi Shankar’s efforts won’t succeed: VHP New Delhi, Nov 14 (IANS): The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Tuesday voiced doubts over Art of Living founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s efforts to resolve the Ram JanmabhoomiBabri Masjid dispute in Uttar Pradesh and said he won’t succeed in his mission. VHP Joint General Secretary Surendra Jain said the issue of constructing a grand Ram temple at Ayodhya can never be resolved through talks. “This is not for the first time that Sri Sri has taken this initiative. In 2001, he made attempts but failed. The reaction to his efforts was the same as today. Somebody is calling him an agent of (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi while another is dubbing him a VHP agent. In fact, he is being insulted,” Jain told IANS. “A way out cannot be found through talks. We doubt his (Sri Sri’s) efforts will succeed.” The spiritual leader had said on Monday that he would travel to Ayodhya and hold talks with various stakeholders to the dispute on November 16. Sri Sri was supposed to meet Home Minister Rajnath Singh at the latter’s official residence here on Tuesday but the meeting was cancelled at the last minute. Sri Sri has said that he was involved as a “mediator” to the temple issue of his own volition and did not have an agenda. He said he will listen to everybody during the Uttar Pradesh visit. He is also likely to meet Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. VHP spokesperson Vinod Bansal said the issue can be resolved only through an Act of Parliament as court proceedings would only delay the matter.
inability to respond to incorrect facts being reported on television, for fear of letting out state secrets to the enemy. “There are many highlights, but as an experience it is a thankless post. Because very often what happens when you are Defence Minister that if something appears on media, on TV, you are not in position to reply because of secrecy and importance of the news. You are not able to answer,
because if you answer your enemy may come to know what you are up to,” Parrikar said. “Therefore on many occasions, one of my difficult aspects was, if something appears on the media, I would know it is wrong, or this is not wrong, and this media person is drawing a wrong meaning from something and interpreting it in the way he wants. But I was not in a position to reply. Because if one replies,
our strategy the enemy will know. This was the most difficult thing,” he added. Speaking about the surgical strikes on the IndiaMyanmar border in the northeast and the IndiaPakistan border on the western front, Parrikar said that after the “easy” surgical strike along the Myanmar border, he was called by a friend who said that a similar surgical strike on the Western border would make him “permanent”.

Thomas Chandy Through the judgment, Chandy has lost all hope of continuing as a Minister. In the state capital, hectic political parleys began late on Tuesday evening in the aftermath of the court decision. Vijayan arrived at the state party headquarters and was closetted with CPI-M state secretary Kodi-
yeri Balakrishnan and later with his cabinet colleagues on what needs to be done with the now-tainted cabinet colleague Chandy. Chief Minister Vijayan told the media that the decision of Chandy’s Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) is awaited. “We will look into the complete judgement and the right decision would be taken at the appropriate time,” he said. Vijayan had come under fire from several quarters for protecting Chandy, much against the wishes of the other allies of the Left Front government. Ever since the allegation of land grab surfaced three months back, the Congress-led opposition,
the BJP and even the second biggest ally of the Vijayan government - the Communist Party of India - had been demanding the resignation of Chandy. V i j aya n h a d ve r y strongly defended Chandy on the floor of the Assembly. Leader of Opposition Ramesh Chennithala told reporters in Palakkad on Tuesday that it’s surprising that while Vijayan was quick to get the resignation of his close aide E.P. Jayarajan and A.K. Saseendran, in Chandy’s case that did not happen. “This clearly shows that the ‘money power’ of Chandy holds sway and Vijayan has a soft corner for him,” said Chennithala.

A negative achievement
I
t is unfortunate that students have to resort to protest demonstration to get their Post Matric Scholarship released and the state chief minister being compelled to institute an investigation team headed by the IG(Int) of the state police. The Eastern Nagaland College Students Union(ENCSU) had called for a phased-wise agitation against the Department of Higher Education but agreed to suspend the programme following a response from the cabinet which was relayed by the state chief secretary. The issue of PM Scholarship used to be the source of some agitation even before the then education department was bifurcated into several sister departments today such as –school education and higher education. The Post Matric Scholarship for ST students is started by central government (ministry of a ministry of tribal affairs) for ST students. The scheme covers professional, technical as well as non-professional and non-technical courses at various levels including correspondence courses covering distance and continuing education. The money is supposed to be disbursed to the students in various colleges through the higher education department. In the past there used to be some unauthorised deductions as well as some not receiving the money at all. It is very unfortunate that the people are being deprived of their dues by their own government ruled by their own elected representatives. This is evident in the various scams highlighted in recent months such as – PDS items, fuel adulteration racket, backdoor appointments, bogus teachers scam, double drawal sanctions, ghost works, etc to name some. Such a condition the exists can only be explained as nothing short of anarchic. The spate of allegations in the media as well as the protests clearly point to a sorry state of affairs in Nagaland. The loss of moral probity among those occupying high positions in the government do not seem to feel that grabbing what belongs to the public is morally wrong. This practise has also robbed them of their conscience as they seem to justify their actions by satisfying themselves that the end justifies the means. Nagaland,like few of the states where corruption of the worst magnitude plagues the entire strata of society, efforts to raise the issue of tackling corruption has not translated into impartial investigation and prosecution. Individual corruption is the cause of institutionalized corruption, the latter being the most dangerous and deadly. Today, institutionalized corruption has become so deep rooted in the government that people have become insensitive to it. The tenets of any religion is to inculcate moral and ethical values as primary requirement of obedience to God. It is meaningless to talk about religious spirituality just because it seems the right thing to say and because no one can object. Today, people do not speak with boldness and without compromise. If people are afraid of speaking out and are unwilling to stand for what is right but choose every opportunity to compromise, then things have really gone wrong. Like slow poison, corruption has ensured the breakdown of all values including infrastructures in the state. The state is economically, politically and socially becoming redundant and the question is, whether people realise it?
DailyDevotion Discovering Divine Design As for me, being on the way, the Lord led me… —Genesis 24:27 We should be so one with God that we don’t need to ask continually for guidance. Sanctification means that we are made the children of God. A child’s life is normally obedient, until he chooses disobedience. But as soon as he chooses to disobey, an inherent inner conflict is produced. On the spiritual level, inner conflict is the warning of the Spirit of God. When He warns us in this way, we must stop at once and be renewed in the spirit of our mind to discern God’s will (see Romans 12:2). If we are born again by the Spirit of God, our devotion to Him is hindered, or even stopped, by continually asking Him to guide us here and there. “…the Lord led me…” and on looking back we see the presence of an amazing design. If we are born of God we will see His guiding hand and give Him the credit. We can all see God in exceptional things, but it requires the growth of spiritual discipline to see God in every detail. Never believe that the so-called random events of life are anything less than God’s appointed order. Be ready to discover His divine designs anywhere and everywhere. Beware of being obsessed with consistency to your own convictions instead of being devoted to God. If you are a saint and say, “I will never do this or that,” in all probability this will be exactly what God will require of you. There was never a more inconsistent being on this earth than our Lord, but He was never inconsistent with His Father. The important consistency in a saint is not to a principle but to the divine life. It is the divine life that continually makes more and more discoveries about the divine mind. It is easier to be an excessive fanatic than it is to be consistently faithful, because God causes an amazing humbling of our religious conceit when we are faithful to Him.

T
his is a familiar exercise. China resents India’s rule over Arunachal Pradesh. New Delhi, on the other hand, ignores the protests and treats the Northeast territory its own. Beijing has been irked by Defence Minister Nirmala Sitaraman’s visit to Arunachal Pradesh. The noise was, however, louder when the Dalai Lama went there earlier. China and India have seldom agreed on where the actual border line lies. Beijing attacked India in 1962 when New Delhi tried to get back its territory. However, this time India showed its muscles with the stand-off at Doklam. China had to withdraw its forces behind the present border. Prime Minister Narendra Modi for BRICS in September after the faceoff, did reduce tension. The positive side of the trip is the reiteration by the two countries to fight against terrorists. But here too Beijing elucidated its own. It has again renewed the proposed UN resolu-
China’s support to terrorist
tion which sought to put a ban on Azar Masood, a well known terrorist. He could not be punished. The friendship of China and Pakistan is only getting stronger to the concern of New Delhi. Not long ago, Beijing had begun stapling visas of Indians visiting Arunachal. China wanted to indicate that it was a “separate territory” not part of India. New Delhi bore the humiliation quietly. In the past was China had accepted without demur the maps showing Arunachal Pradesh as India’s territory. To recall the dispute, is over a small territory lying between Arunachal and China’s border. The status of Arunachal Pradesh has been seldom questioned. Tibet for China is like India’s Kashmir which too has raised the standard of independence. There is, however, one difference: the Dalai Lama is willing to accept an autonomous status within China. Kashmir today wants independence.
Maybe, the Kashmiris will come round to accept a similar status one day. The problem is so complicated that a minor change can lead to a major catastrophe. It is not worth risking. I have visited Bomdila Pass from where the Dalai Lama entered India to seek asylum. His land, Tibet, had been occupied Kuldip by China, which also has destroyed the Tibetans culture. The Chinese have imposed communism and shown no respect for either Dalai Lama or his monastery. The Dalai Lama’s visit to Arunachal Pradesh has brought back the memories of the days before the Chinese annexed Tibet. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first prime minister, did not raise any objection at that time because he was on personal terms with Chinese Premier Chu-En Lai. It is another story that he betrayed Nehru and attacked India. It occupied thousands of kilometers of India. It has shown no
intention to vacate it. Tibet is another story of betrayal. True, it was under the suzerainty of Beijing but the autonomy of Tibet was considered unviable. Suzerainty means a government exercising political control over a dependent state. Suzerainty does not mean absorption. T i b e t wa s not even a Nayar part of China when India agreed to its suzerainty of China. Beijing betrayed Nehru again when it made the Dalai Lama’s stay at Lhasa impossible. The biggest betrayal was when China attacked Indiaeight years later, in 1962. The Dalai Lama’s visit may not have raised doubts about Tibet but it renewed the debate of its annexation by Beijing once again. China called his visit a “provocation”. It’s warning to India that the Dalai Lama’s visit would affect the normal relations between the two countries. It intensified with Doklam. Yet, India managed to hold
its own. In fact, China’s problems with India have roots in the British demarcation of the India-China border. China refuses to acknowledge the MacMahon Line that demarcates Arunachal Pradesh to be a part of India. Any activity that takes place in this area is viewed by China skeptically. Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s visit to the “disputed’’ territory despite Chinese protest showed that New Delhi was prepared for hostilities of it comes to that pass. Then the Indian soldiers did not have shoes for a mountain combat. India is now a power to reckon with. It looks as if China would go on provoking India to exhausts patience. When war is ruled out this is the only option China has. How to retaliate, without resorting to hostilities is the situation India faces. Beijing is trying to revive the India-China Bhai Bhai scenario. New Delhi cannot trust Beijing, par-
ticularly when it is trying to encircle India. China has given a big loan to Nepal. The port which Sri Lanka is building is at the behest of China. Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is happy that China is trying to placate her. All should realize that India is no push over now. Apart from war, India has many options. Taiwan is a trump card. It can revive the debate on two Chinas. The question of terrorism is always there. Prime Minister Narendra Modi agreed with a Chinese leader that they share common concern over terrorism. A portion of Muslim population living in China is beginning to assert itself. The Chinese leaders are ignoring the uprising. But they should realize that what the Muslims in China are doing has the support of Muslims in other countries. Still China would be helped by nonMuslim countries because they see terrorism as heart of Muslim chauvinism.
Post-mortem
Sorry state of present Naga political issue The unhealthy market system of Kohima town
T
he Naga Independence movement has become a long drawn out struggle and has become costly affairs for both Indian Govt. and the Nagas. In the beginning the Naga movement was consensus move and a single agenda movement, i.e. Sovereign Independence of Nagaland. But over the years, it has become complex and twisted affairs, giving chances to the opportunists for fishing in the trouble waters at ease. The organisations have been flooded by imposters, flatterers and slanderers and the leaderships give credence to such people leaving the real patriots fuming. It is said that the Nagas are free people from time in memorial. But after fighting almost a century to maintain that freedom Nagas have lost all freedom. No one can speak his mind. Everyone is afraid of someone or something. But there is a quotation which says” when people are not afraid to die, there is no way to defeat them”. I am afraid if the present trend continues, sooner or later Nagas will be pushed into such state of affairs. The Naga struggle has become interwoven tangle of antagonistic affairs of rival clans and tribes and deeply laced with chauvinisms of some tribes and egos of some people. In addition, many overground politicians are throwing so many filthy matters to the underground organisations(Naga National Organisations) in their wellconceived self interests to exhibit as if they are supporting the Naga National Cause, making the Naga National Movement full of wickedness’s and hypocrisies. And the Naga National leaders are accepting them from the face value without seriously examining the real intent of the individual or the group. The understanding and sensible Nagas have fully understood that the fate of future Naga generations is at stake. Therefore, we should not be hesitant but vocal about the hard realities for the future Naga generations. Beware, after fighting for almost a century it has come to a stage, where some Nagas can sell the Naga future in exchange of MLA or M.P. or Ministers posts under Indian constitution. Who has hypnotised or bewitched the Nagas as asserted by some Naga intellectuals is pertinent question. Therefore, why we Nagas should slumber such long time deeply. Dear Nagas, let us open our eyes wide and look up in the skies and to the horizon to
perceive what is happening before us before it is late. Let us not make a repeat of the historical French Revolution where and when Napoleon Bonaparte appeared on the scene at every later stage of the Revolution and proclaimed that he was the Revolution and the PRODUCT OF THE REVOLUTION and ruled the French empire with iron hand that led to the humiliation and destruction of France and himself at the end. Now, many Naga National political groups have started political dialogue with the Government of India. Whether successful or failure it is good to have such overtures. Tell the GOI and its leaders clearly and precisely that the Naga case is not a case of India’s postindependence. The Naga Movement was started long before India attained Independence during when Indian sub-continent was ruled by the succeeding British Governor Generals last of which was Lord Mountbatten.Nagas had submitted many memoranda before the British Govt representatives before India was declared sovereign Independent on 15.8.1947. But also in June, 1947 an agreement called “Nine Point Hydari agreement was signed between the then NNC and the British Govt representative Sir Akbar Hydari, Governor of Assam. Therefore, GOI recognising the Sovereign Independence of Nagaland in no way embarrass or humiliate India before the world. Rather that will enhance the greatness of India and its leaders in the comity of nations. India will be respected by the world as just and powerful nation. No doubt, India and the Nagas have had a bad quarrel for a long time due to some missing links and communication deficits. But now we have to appreciate the GOI and its leaders in helping the appreciable all round developments for upliftments of the Naga people. And our first and foremost duty is to plead with Indian Govt for recognition of sovereign Independence of Nagaland. After that we can co-operate with India in negotiating India’s security and economic concerns and establish strong friendly relation as neighbours. In my sixty-two years of Naga National Service, I have experienced how the Almighty God (Yahwey) guided, protected and provided the then Nagas of little faith specially the National workers
with miracles and wonders in times of dangers and scarcities. Because of all these wonders and miracles, it is my firm conviction that Naga Independence movement is God’s Mission. And if it is the purpose of God, it shall be fulfilled. I believe, Nagaland will be independent one day or the other. Therefore, Naga negotiators should not think for ten years or fifty years. But think for thousand years of Naga future generations. In our struggle we have passed through many stages. And now it is the stage of intellectual and diplomatic game. Naga patriots, the political genii(geniuses) and intellectuals should now wake up and work for the future of the Nagas. The current most destructive and unwanted situations created in the Naga society and Naga Governance system is because of the unholy nexus between the overground and underground leaders in the high echelons in the name of political manoeuvres. The Nagaland state political leaders in many cases in inappropriately and indecently interferes in the affairs of the National politics in the name of facilitator. So also Naga National political leaders depend too much on the overground politicians who are working and surviving under the law and constitution of India. It is felt that the underground leaderships apportioned even the ranks and positions of their cadres on the advice of the overground people leaving their subordinates at dark who have merits and suffered with them. I can assuredly say that many of the overground politicians exert their influence on the National leaders for their personal interests and not in the love of the Naga Nations. For the cause of the Naga Nation and the Naga people I had sacrificed the opportunities and well being of my parents during my youth and after marriage I have sacrificed peace and happiness and privileges of my spouse and my children. And I have sacrificed my entire span of life on the altar of Naga Nationalism working covertly and overly for the Naga Nation. I had been in the NNC, in the NSCN (I-M) and in the NSCN (K) with real and sincere intend for the Naga Nation. Therefore, it may not be wrong if I say something in the matters of Naga National Movement in the greater interest of the suffering Naga people. A.Z.Jami, Senior National Worker
T
he growth of Kohima town has been much appreciated. The rise has been seen from both quality and quantity. Migration of people from village to town has become necessary due to numerous reasons. This has brought about expansion of markets in every nook and corner of Kohima. The best interaction of people takes place in the market place. We meet people of different type and character. The way people buy food items and vegetables are quite surprising and interesting. All customers searched the best items because no one wants to take home rotten items. But the way food items are sold along the road is quite unhealthy. Today, almost every established shop along the road has vegetable vendors beside. They give good company to each other. The owner of the building get double profit only to bring disaster upon the consumers. We see vegetables of every kind just laid open on the road side for sale. We buy and eat them. Yes, we need to survive. But this is not a healthy way of life. The unhealthy market system is drowning the life of the Nagas. The Nagas are less concern with the quality of food. Filling up one’s stomach to the fullest (quantity) is good enough to be visible in front of others. For many of us to build up one’s body is more important than to be stronger and healthier. Buy one, get two free is applicable for market system. Buy one vegetable and get two or ten harmful germs free. The splash of dirty water on the green vegetables looks good enough to attract the customers. Yet, the prize of ill-effect goes to the ignorant consumers. We consume unwanted germs every day with a smile on our face. The smiling face may soon become depressed with uninvited sickness. Buying and eating casually will ultimately lead us closer to a fragile life. We are living one step closer to the grave. The brittle generation must also be seen from the perspective of food habits. Children who are fed with bad/dirty food grow up to be so weak. They cannot face the heat of the sun neither a drop of rain. They become new species of generation only to bind themselves with the chains of germs/bacteria.
I would kindly appeal the KMC or the concern authority to look into the matter and find better solution to this unhealthy existing road side marketing system. Instead of selling vegetable or any food items on the ground/floor, why don’t the concern authorities assign particular places for sale? They could even request the vendors to raise temporary small stand (movable stand) to put up their items for sale? The term ‘vege-TABLE’ is an invitation to put them on the Table or stand. At the end of the day, it can be easily removed. This will avoid dirt of every kind and give healthy food to the consumers to some degree. The dirty monsoon rain and the dust of the winter make the vegetables unhealthier for human consumption. The present condition of the dust on the road will speak better. The construction of beautiful marketing shed at PHQ junction is highly commendable. Such care and concern will open the eyes of the customers towards better living. We need to aim the best way of living. It starts with our food habit and what we consume every day. One may question, we wash all market items and then cook and eat, and so what is the problem? But I think washing or cooking alone will not suffice. When you buy dirty items (it may appear clean) you take along with you many invisible and harmful bacteria and germs to your homes. Every time you buy such items, you take home numerous germs. And we do it every day. By this your homes become shelter for such germs and bacteria (They become numerous than the members of the family) This will make the members of the family vulnerable to many sicknesses and diseases. We are too casual with our food habits and are heading for shorter version of life. The dirty road side vendors may not attend your funeral. May the concern authority find the best solution to this existing problems and implement it for the good of all people. I am sure the honoured members will do its best towards the healthy living of the Naga society. Rev. Fr. G. L. Khing, Kohima
Reader’s Post Sir,
Superficial glitter only
One can see hectic preparations to keep the towns clean for the forthcoming Hornbill Festival. The roads are being very quickly given a patch-up work here and there in Dimapur and the state capital Kohima. It is this one time in the year that public heaves a sigh of relief at the smooth roads and the festive air that percolates into the state capital. Tourist will come and enjoy the merry making in Kisama and go away with a promise to return the next time again. This is all so superficial because we have ignored the cries of the students, teachers etc who are waiting for their due payments. How long will this kind of drama carry on in our state and for how long can people endure this superficial glitter. There are many of us who survive on salary and if it is not paid on time, many families will cry this Christmas season and their New Year too will be filled with worries. Even Hornbill Festival is only for those who can afford to reach Kohima. Showcasing our state is alright but think of the thousands who are grieving unable to meet their daily requirements.

Grieving locals stand by the bodies of earthquake victims in Sarpol-e Zahab county in Kermanshah, Iran.
T e h r a n, N ov 1 4 (Agencies): Iranians living outdoors in bitterly cold temperatures after an earthquake are making desperate pleas for help. About 540 people were killed and close to 8,000 injured when the quake hit near the Iran-Iraq border on Sunday, reports BBC. The gover nment is scrambling to get aid to the worst-hit Kermanshah province, where hundreds of homes were destroyed. President Hassan Rouhani, visiting the region, said state-built houses suffered more damage, and those responsible would be held accountable. Temperatures in Kermanshah province fell close to freezing for the second night in succession. Ali Gulani, 42, lives in the province’s badly-hit town of Qasr-e-Shirin, and
told BBC Persian people were burning crates to try to stay warm. “We are living in a tent and we don’t have enough food or water,” he said. “You can hear children crying, it’s too cold. They are holding on to their parents to warm themselves - it’s pretty bad.” Mr Gulani said there were an average of three strong aftershocks an hour, provoking panic. Close to 200 aftershocks have hit the region since the magnitude-7.3 earthquake on Sunday night. It was one of the strongest on earth this year, as well as the deadliest. Mr Gulani said he understood aid had been despatched within the province, but that people in his town had not yet received help. Instead, people were having to trek to the other side of town
to get water from a tank. Iranian state TV said thousands of survivors had spent another night in makeshift camps or in the open. “It is a very cold night... we need help. We need everything. The authorities should speed up their help,” one homeless young woman in Sarpol-e-Zahab, where most of the victims died, told Reuters news agency. One aid agency said 70,000 people needed shelter and the UN said it was “ready to assist if required”. While visiting the region on Tuesday, a national day of mourning, President Hassan Rouhani pointed out that many privately-built homes appeared to have been spared damage. In Sarpol-e Zahab, he asked: “Who is to be blamed for this? Our engineers?” He said the government would hold accountable anyone found not to have upheld building standards. Iranian state news agency Irna said 530 people had died in Iran alone. In the more sparsely populated areas across the border in Iraq, 10 people died and several hundred were injured. Mansoureh Bagheri, an Iran-based official with the Red Crescent Society, told the BBC about 12,000 residential buildings had “totally collapsed”.
Washington, Nov 14 (PTI): Kenneth Juster has been sworn in as the US Ambassador to India with Vice President Mike Pence voicing confidence that he will build an even stronger partnership that will benefit both countries and their people.

ALUMNI DINNER ON 16TH EVENING MEET
Antonio Guterres Manila, Nov 14 (PTI): UN chief Antonio Guterres Tuesday met Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi and urged her to take steps to ensure “dignified” return of hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees who have fled the country to Bangladesh following violence against them. Separately on the margins of the ASEAN summit here, the US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson also met Suu Kyi and discussed the humanitarian crisis in the Rakhine state. In his meeting with Myanmar’s State Counsellor, the UN Secretary General highlighted the need
for allowing the return of displaced Muslims who have fled to neighbouring Bangladesh. The Rohingya issue also figured during a meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump last night. “The Secretary-General and the State Counsellor discussed the situation in Rakhine State. The Secretary-General highlighted that strengthened efforts to ensure humanitarian access, safe, dignified, voluntary and sustained returns, as well as true reconciliation between communities, would be essential,” the UN said in a statement. Over 6,00,000 Rohing ya Muslims have fled to Bangladesh from predominantly Buddhist Myanmar’s Rakhine state since late August after large-scale violence. The crisis er upted after Rohingya rebels attacked police posts in Rakhine, triggering a military crackdown that saw hundreds of villages reduced to ashes and sparked a massive exodus.

onder Woman fans have expressed their anger after it was revealed that the ancient Amazonian warriors appear to be wearing ‘skimpy’ and revealing outfits in Justice League, a marked contrast to the battle-ready armour seen in the first solo outing of Gal Gadot’s titular superhero. When Wonder Woman hit cinemas in May this year, viewers were introduced to the backstory of Diana Prince (Gadot), who is raised as a fearsome warrior on the all-female island of Themyscira. But the extensive armour worn by the characters in the film is entirely
different to the skimpy and revealing outfits that are shown in Zac Snyder’s first outing of the Justice League – prompting allegations of sexism and the difference “between the male and female gaze.” Posting a photo of the two outfits side by side, Melissa Silverstein wrote: “Here is a fantastic example of the difference between the male and female gaze. Patty Jenkins’ Amazon warriors on the left. Zack Snyder’s on the right.” Another noted how the Wonder Woman outfits were created by female costume designer Lindy Hemming, contrasted with the male design of Justice League’s
Michael Wilkinson. They wrote: “In case you wonder: Here’s a picture of how the Amazons looked in Wonder Woman…next to pic how they look in Justice League. First designed by Lindy Hemming, second by Michael Wilkinson. Some steps backwards, methinks.” However, the allegations of sexism and objectification have since been refuted by one fan who claims that the full armour also features in Justice League, with the ‘skimpy’ outfits merely being their training gear.

rie Larson has been accused of perpetuating “white saviour” stereotypes after the first trailer for her latest movie was released. Basmati Blues sees the Oscar winning actress taking on the role of a scientist who is tasked with selling genetically modified rice in India after creating it with her father. The film isn’t scheduled to be released until next year, but it has already faced accusations of perpetuating tired stereotypes after Larson is seen meeting with Indian locals in the trailer.
“So done with hollywood films of white people coming to save our souls & rice & lands! Blood Diamond formulaic bull****!, one user wrote on Twitter. Another said: “Sweet mother of god… that Brie Larson trailer is every Indian cliche in two minutes. White saviour, people riding on train tops and spicy food.

AITA forms panel to tackle age fraud
NEW DELHI, Nov 14 (PTI): The All India Tennis Association (AITA) has formed a three-member committee to tackle the issue of age manipulation, but has left the onus on the complainants to provide documentary evidence for proving fraud cases. It has been alleged by a number of parents that over-aged players compete at the National Championships, depriving genuine kids an opportunity to compete in a level-playing field. More than 50 parents had submitted a petition to the AITA during the hard court Nationals at the DLTA last month, demanding action against
over-age players competing in different age groups. The AITA, at its recent executive committee, decided to form a committee and has named Puneet Gupta, PF Montes and Vivek Sharma as its members. However, a note by AITA says, “any complaint as regard to possible age manipulation is to be forwarded to this committee with relevant documentary evidence and a draft of Rs 2000/- as security, so that Committee can take further action”. When asked why the AITA has left it to the parents or any complainant to provide evidence, the federation’s secretary general
Selection for national karate c’ship Dimapur, Nov 14 (NPN): The All Nagaland KarateDo Association (ANKA) has informed that the state level selection for the upcoming 5th NESKFI National Karate Championship 2017 had been rescheduled to November 18 at Logdrum School Karate Dojo, Sangtamtilla, Dimapur. All the qualified instructors, chief instructor, officials of the district association are informed to attend the selection program without fail. For details, contact 9436430264 or 9612972066.
Hironmoy Chatterjee said, “It’s to ensure that only genuine complaints come up before us.” “If we don’t do this, every parent whose child will lose a match will come to us, complaining that the winner is overage. It will go on and we have endless complaints. We want only genuine complaints and we are ready to scrutinise them,” Chatterjee said. But the parents are not detectives who will find documentary evidence against the suspects. “They have to provide something to prove that so and so is overage and we will scrutinise the evidence which could be a different (fudged) birth certificate or any other document.” Explaining the rationale behind levying a fee of Rs 2000 on complainants, the AITA official said, “It’s a tedious process. We have to pursue to the matter with competent authorities. And also it will act as a deterrent for frivolous complaints. Only genuine complaints will reach us by this.”

Italy fail to qualify for World Cup
Sweden players celebrate after reaching the 2018 World Cup.
MILAN, Nov 14 (Agencies): Italy failed to reach the World Cup for the first time since 1958 on Monday as they were held to a 0-0 draw in the second leg of their play-off at the San Siro by Sweden, who qualified with a 1-0 aggregate victory. The four-time champions dominated possession but struggled to create enough clear-cut chances, as Sweden secured a first appearance at the finals since 2006 courtesy of Jakob Johansson’s first-leg strike in Stockholm. Despite the support of 74,000 fans in a whitehot atmosphere at the San Siro the 2006 World Cup winners could not find a way through. It is the third time that the Italians will
not compete at the World Cup, after not going to the first edition in 1930 and not qualifying for the 1958 finals in Sweden. Without star Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who retired from the national team after Euro 2016, Sweden sealed a return to the world stage after failing to reach the last two editions. The last time the Scandinavians participated was in 2006. It was a mediocre performance by the hosts with Antonio Candreva firing over and Sweden goalkeeper Robin Olsen denying Alessandro Florenzi and Ciro Immobile. Mikael Lustig almost scored an own goal when his deflection hit the bar. Marco Verratti sat out a ban with Simone Zaza
and Leonardo Spinazzola both injured, with Daniele De Rossi and Andrea Belotti not fully fit. Coach Gian Piero Ventura gave Brazil-born Jorginho his first competitive appearance for Italy with Florenzi and Manolo Gabbiadini also handed starts. Napoli’s in-form winger Lorenzo Insigne however was once again left on the bench. Sweden’s Lustig was back from suspension, with Johansson starting in place of the injured Albin Ekdal. The hosts had penalty appeals in the opening few minutes as Marco Parolo appeared to be tripped from behind by Ludwig Augustinsson, but the referee waved play on and

In the one sided second quarterfinal match, Punuru Neinu (8) opened the account for Kohima Eagle’s in the 4th minute while Petevizo (10) scored the second and third goals in the 9th and 13th minute respectively. Menguzelie (11) found the back of the net in the 33rd minute to make it 4-0. After the lemon break, Menguzelie (11) scored the 5th goal in the 51st minute. Petevizo scored again in the 57th minute to complete his hat-trick. Akuo-o scored the 7th goal in the 66th minute to seal the match.

booked Giorgio Chiellini for dissent. Sweden lost first-leg goal scorer Johansson after 15 minutes when his left knee buckled badly and he was stretchered off to make way for Gustav Svensson. Jorginho’s through ball found Immobile to pull back from the byline for Candreva to blast over, but Leonardo Bonucci, wearing a protective mask after breaking his nose on Friday, got a knock to the knee and was limping badly. Florenzi thought he had scored on 53 minutes with a flying volley from Matteo Darmian’s cross, but it went wide. Bonucci got down to business taking off his protective mask on the hour mark, with Ventura bringing on Stephan El Shaarawy and Torino striker Belotti. Federico Bernardeschi was the final Italy substitution and Olsen turned away a Parolo header. As the clock ticked the crowd at the San Siro began to sing the national anthem. An El Shaarawy shot was kept out by Olsen and Parolo’s header went wide, then Buffon came up for a corner in a final desperate gamble as Italy fell short of reaching the World Cup for the first time in 60 years.
Man City not invincible, says Wenger L o nd o n , N o v 1 4 (Agencies): Manchester City have opened up an eight-point gap at the top of the Premier League, scoring 38 goals along the way, but while some are predicting an unbeaten season for Pep Guardiola’s side, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is not convinced. City have won 10 of their opening 11 games, a home draw against Everton in August depriving them of a perfect start, and their 3-1 win over Arsenal earlier this month extended their winning streak to 15 games in all competitions. Arsenal are the only team to go unbeaten throughout an entire Premier League season (200304) and when asked whether City could emulate his “Invincibles” the Frenchman said there was still a long way to go. “They are a good side but they are not an unstoppable side,” Wenger told BeIN Sports. “People always want to predict what will happen in the game. I don’t know more than you, maybe, maybe not, but at the moment only one team has done it”.
Honduras accuse Aus of spying before WC playoff
S Y D N E Y, N o v 1 4 (Agencies): Honduras accused Australia of spying on their training sessions with a drone on Monday, as tensions heated up ahead of Wednesday’s decisive World Cup playoff match. The Honduran National Football Federation (FENAFUTH) posed 18 seconds of footage of a drone flying above Sydney’s Olympic Stadium, where the team trained on Monday after their long flight from central America. “Australia spied on Honduras’s official training session from a drone, causing discomfort among the Honduran team and delegation,” FENAFUTH said on its Twitter feed. Honduras face the Socceroos at the same stadium on Wednesday night for the deciding second leg of their intercontinental playoff with the scores level at 0-0 after a tightly fought first leg in San Pedro Sula on Friday. According to Honduran newspaper La Prensa, Honduras team management sent up drones of their own in 2016 to ensure no unauthorised party was monitoring their training sessions.

admit his season is over. “No, I am off,” said Nadal. “My season is finished. Yeah, I had the commitment with the event, with the city, with myself. I tried hard. I did the thing that I had to do to try to be ready to play. But I am really not ready to play.” “Is about the pain,” he added. “I cannot hold with enough power to keep playing. I tried, but seriously it was a miracle to be very close in the score during the match. It really doesn’t make sense.” Nadal said he would work hard to be ready for the start of the next season. “I know what I have to do,” he said. “I know all the things that happened in the past when I had these things, and I know the treatment that I had to do. I know the periods of time that I need to work. Then if the treatment works or
not, we will see.” Nadal, 31, struggled to find his range early in front of a raucous crowd rooting for him and was broken twice in the first set by the Belgian seventh seed, who had lost their previous two encounters. The Spaniard appeared to have earned a psychological edge when Goffin double-faulted while serving for the set and the match went into a tie-break but the Belgian re-found his focus to come out on top. The second set went with serve until the eighth game, when Goffin broke to earn a chance to serve for the match, only for Nadal to break back. Goffin had a golden chance to seal the match in Nadal’s next service game but failed to put away a mid-court forehand on match point and the lefthander levelled at 5-5. The Belgian composed himself to hold and then earned three more match points but Nadal, showing incredible grit and playing right at the limit, saved all three to take it to another tie-break, which he won. In the decider, Nadal appeared to feel discomfort in his right knee as he went two breaks down but still he refused to admit defeat, recovering a break before eventually succumbing.

AIFF side named Indian Arrows; I-League to begin on Nov 25
NEW DELHI, Nov 14 (PTI): The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has named its development side Indian Arrows, going back to the old moniker it used for its previous youth team that was disbanded in 2013. The AIFF mentioned the side as Indian Arrows in the I-League fixtures issued on Tuesday. The upcoming ILeague will kick off with Minerva FC hosting Mohun Bagan in Ludhiana on November 25. A bit of focus will be on the side that will comprise the best talent from
the team that competed in the FIFA U-17 World Cup and the Under-19 team. The development side will have its home ground in New Delhi. The idea is to keep the boys together to make the cut for U-20 World Cup in 2019, for which India has submitted a bid application. The move, which was approved by AIFF's technical committee, is on the lines of the Pailan Indian Arrows project which was disbanded four years ago.
The team's home ground could be either Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium or Ambedkar Stadium. Shillong Lajong FC will play host to new outfit Gokulam Ketala FC on November 27 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. While Mohun Bagan will be in action on the opening day at the Guru Nanak Stadium, their traditional rivals East Bengal will begin their campaign on Nov 28 against defending champions Aizawl FC. Indian Arrows will play their first match against Chennai City FC.
