Will consider Paradise Papers cases on individual merit: FM

NEW DELHI, NOV 7 (AGENCIES): Finance minister Arun Jaitley said on Tuesday the government will consider each case brought out by Paradise Papers on its “individual merit”. The government probe into the leaked documents from a Bermuda-based global offshore law firm, detailing financial holdings abroad of over 714 Indian entities and individuals, will follow the process similar to the one undertaken in the Panama Papers investigation, he told reporters. “It will be found out that who are those people with totally illegal accounts and who have plausible defence.... Every case will be considered on its individual merit,” he said.

General Officer Commanding, Spear Corps. This corps is responsible for counterinsurgency operations in Indian states bordering Myanmar -- Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and eastern part of Arunachal Pradesh. At least four northeastern rebel groups - National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Khaplang), National Democratic Front of Bodoland (Songbijit), United Liberation Front of Assam (Independent) and Kamatapur Liberation Organization-- have formed a rebel coalition United National Liberation Front of Western Southeast Asia in the remote jungles of Sagaing, from where they have launched attacks on Indian forces at regular intervals. After one such raid in June 2015, in which 17 Indian soldiers were killed, Indian para-commandos attacked a rebel base inside Burmese territory. Subsequent surgical strikes by Indian forces have also been launched on a pro active basis. Indian and Myan-

CHUKITONG/ WOKHA, NOV 7 (NPN): Nagaland Home minister, Y. Patton on Tuesday said if all negotiating Naga Political Groups (NPGs) and the Government of Y. Patton (NP) India (GOI) were to agree to an amicable solution to the decades-long Indo-Naga political issue, then a solution to the issue would be better than Assembly elections scheduled early next year. Addressing a big gathering of Chukitong Range Tokhü Emong festival participants at local ground, Chukitong under Wokha district as chief guest, Patton further appealed to all the Lothas to unitedly extend full cooperation to any such solution, if it were to materialize. Extending festival greetings to the capacity crowd, the Home Minister said Tokhü Emong was a time for coming together through forgiveness and forgetting of past acrimony. “And, therefore, keeping in mind the festive spirit, I will not talk about politics. We will talk about politics later,” he added. Patton also advised the three ranges under his constituency (37 Tyui) to rotate the celebration of Tokhü Emong every year in order to foster the spirit of unity and friendship amongst people from the (Cont’d on p-8) three ranges.

DGAR reviews security

I tanagar , N ov 7 (IANS): Assam Rifles chief, Lt Gen. Shokin Chauhan on Monday reviewed the overall security environment in Arunachal Pradesh. He also called on Governor Brig.

B.D. Mishra (retd) and chief minister Pema Khandu. Assam Rifles troopers are guarding the unfenced India-Myanmar border, of which 520 km of the 1,643km border is in Arunachal Pradesh. They are also engaged in counter-insurgency operations in Tirap, Changlang and Longding districts. During the meeting, Khandu impressed on the need of having proper facilities for Assam Rifles personnel stationed in remote Vijaynagar in Changlang district, which has no proper road connectivity. Khandu also discussed the misuse of free movement regime (FMR) along the India-Myanmar border by insurgents and smugglers. The FMR permits tribes residing along the border to travel 16 km across the boundary without visa restrictions. They also discussed on the progress of highway along the Changlang-Khonsa route that will make the communication easy without having to enter Assam.

NEW DELHI, NOV 7 (AGENCIES): India on Tuesday successfully flighttested its indigenous Nirbhay (the fearless) land-attack cruise missile, which can deliver nuclear warheads to a strike range of 1,000-km, after a string of failures since March 2013. The development is significant because the armed forces have long been demanding nuclear land-attack cruise missiles (LACMs), with ranges over 1,000-km and versatile enough to be fired from land, air and sea. Often brandished as India’s answer to the famed American Tomahawk missiles, as also an effective counter to Pakistan’s Babur LACM, the Nirbhay had been in the making for a decade without much success till now. The sub-sonic missile, designed to carry a 300-kg nuclear warhead, had failed during its first test in March 2013. Though the second test in October 2014 was a partial success, the third and fourth tests in October 2015 and December 2016 also flopped, leading to talk that the project may have to be scrapped.

MP, Neiphiu Rio on Tuesday said that “decades old Naga struggle was not a failure but a success story.” “The recognition of the uniqueness of Naga history, culture, identity Neiphiu Rio (DIPR) and tradition was a great achievement and that when our issue is recognised as a political issue, it is time to come together, take what is available and practical,” he said this while speaking as the chief guest at the Tokhu Emong celebrations at the public ground, Wokha. According to a press note, issued by press secretary to MP, Rio said that he along with the state cabinet led by chief minister, T.R. Zeliang recently met with the representatives of the Prime Minister’s Office, Union Home minister, Interlocutor, National Security Adviser, NSCN (I-M) leadership, and the Working Committee of the six NNPGs at New Delhi. While congratulating both NSCN (I-M) and the Working Committee for undertaking the dialogue with the Government of India, Rio said it was a good beginning and urged the Nagas to pray and support the peace efforts. “If we are integrated emotionally, socially, culturally and politically, a day will come for the Nagas to come together. So I would say this is a good beginning and therefore let us continue to pray,” Rio (Cont’d on p-8, more on p-3) stated.

Myanmar army has not been able to concentrate on these anti-Indian rebels because of their diverse counter insurgency commitments, but apparently India’s strong support to Myanmar on the Rakhine issue is now been reciprocated by the Tatmadaw. The statement was a reassurance to the centre, which is concerned about militant activity in the region. The senior Myanmar military officer said he hopes the two armies can continue friendly relations and peacefully resolve border issues.

Since then authorities have closed power plants temporarily and experimented with taking some cars off the road. But on Tuesday many residents said too little was being done to tackle the scourge. “It’s a recurring problem and we need to find a quick and permanent solution to it before it is too late,” said real estate agent Vipin Malhotra. “Delhi is becoming unliveable, particularly for children, as the pollution has reached uncontrollable levels.” Delhi’s air quality typically worsens ahead of the onset of winter as

The problem is further exacerbated by the burning of crop stubble by farmers after the harvest in northern India, a practice that remains commonplace despite an official ban.

In a condolence message, Dr. Shürhozelie said he had met late Bendang on numerous occasions and found him to be a thorough gentleman, soft spoken and totally dedicated to his duties. His services to the Industries & Commerce department were most pronounced and the government had made use of his experience and expertise in various important capacities all these years, he said. Dr. Shürhozelie also said late Bendang was a man of few words, but those few words were of great value in many ways, adding that the government derived maximum benefits out of his contributions. Dr. Shürhozelie conveyed his heartfelt condolences to bereaved family members and prayed

that the Almighty grant them solace and comfort in this hour of grief. He also prayed that the departed soul rest in eternal peace.

tion, Dr. Roshan lamented the fact that the initiation age to tobacco in the region was much lower than in other parts of the country as young people – sometimes as young as just 15 years – started using tobacco products. Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Praveen Birur, Lead Specialist of Biocon Foundation and Professor of Dental School, Bangalore, proposed that schools be targeted to stop initiation of children to tobacco. He also stated that innovative health technologies should be developed so that even low-skilled health workers could operate them. On his part, Dr. Tetseo, Nodal officer, NTCP Dimapur noted with concern the high prevalence of tobacco users in the society, especially the alarmingly high number of very young people using tobacco products.

Appreciating the efforts of CIHSR and Biocon in bringing out such a quality data, he stated that the data would strengthen the conviction that tobacco use was a major problem in the society. After the presentation, CMO Dr K Vikato Kinimi suggested that a good strategy would be made jointly by the Health department in collaboration with CIHSR and other stakeholders to combat the menace of tobacco. The event was chaired by Dr. Atsung, Community Health, CIHSR. He said that a similar screening would be carried out in Dhansiripar area soon. Representatives of Nagaland Dental Association, North East Institute of Social Sciences, Dimapur and staff of CMO were also present on the occasion.

stakeholders” Imkong said Ravi had sincerely initiated the process to be handled directly by the Prime Minister Office (PMO) rather than the Ministry of Home Affairs. He said this while speaking as chief guest on Tuesday during Mokokchung Lotha Hoho, golden jubilee celebration held under the theme “nurturing Fate” at the Mokokchung Town Hall, Lamenting that boycott of 1998 NLA election by the civil society organisations was “poorly managed”, he said the boycott was done without the “Indian Constitutional norms and approaches” and urged the people not to make the same mistake again.

Imkong then said that his approach for postponement of the assembly election prior to a final Naga political issue was justified by the support of his colleagues and a proper approach to the government of India and the Election Commission of India (ECI). He said both the entities posses every right to the postponement under the “extra-ordinary situation prevailing in the state of Nagaland, as laid down in accordance with the 1951, Peoples’ Representative Act”. “Elections are very costly affairs for candidatures, of which the Election Commission should also take into account for the

request of election postponement”, he added. Imkong was of the opinion, if at all, elections was held at this very juncture, more political parties would mushroom, whereby creating more confusion to the Naga society. For an “opportune Naga political issue”, he said “The Nagas can nurture fate by living together as one, by expelling tribalism aside.” A short speech was delivered by an aspirant candidate in the NLA 2018 election, retired secretary, Y Mhonbewmo Humtsoe, welcome address was said by Mokokchung Lotha Hoho chairman, Nyamo Z Yanthan and vote of thanks by the organising core committee convenor, Dr. Phyben Odyuo.

She said late Taliakum’s innovative thinking, talents and enthusiasm inspired many people especially his students. “His charm was not only in dedicating his service towards the society through his works but also caring for his students and nurturing them with his talents”, remembered Chubamenla. Mariam, a class 6 student, remembered her teacher as someone who was more a friend than a teacher and as someone who taught them how to sing. She remembered him as a teacher who would

come to school in his “unusual car” and enlightened them with new ways of teaching and learning. Family members of late Taliakum, who attended the event, said that hosting the literary day in memory of their son was a highest honour and greatest blessing for the family. They encouraged the students to learn from his life and wished that his works and his love would inspire and encourage everyone.

In a press release, DDCC former general secretary (adm), Hollohon Chishi, said it “very unfortunate that the NPCC has stooped to such a level by alleging the former members as opportunist, defectors and migratory birds”. If DDCC was as alleged by NPCC, the committee said it would have “shifted our loyalty long back” but instead DDCC upheld the ideologies and principles of Indian National Congress believing that the working system of the NPCC president would be as per its principles. DDCC said “lack of inner democracy and the unprecedented act and autocratic functioning” of the NPCC president made them to resign from our rank and file. It has also asked NPCC to refer to its November 1, 2017 press statement which

stated that DDCC joined NPF led by its president and MP (Lok Sabha) Neiphiu Rio and chief minister, T. R. Zeliang “unconditionally because of their active involvement in expediting the Indo-Naga peace process.” Instead of letting facts be known, DDCC accused NPCC of misleading the people of Nagaland because of its inability to produce records and thus targeting the former congress members who has taken a bold decision to resign.

the literary day witnessed competitions in various events which included declamation, speech, solo, painting and synchronized Bible reading. Students from class 1-8 participated in the various competitions held. As an ode to late K. Taliakum Pongen, the students had written letters, poems, songs, odes and drew pictures of him all through the year which was displayed in front of the school premises.

1ST DEATH ANNIVERSARY OF OUR BELOVED LT. VIZOTUO NEIU ZUMVÜ 8TH NOV. 2016

A year of silence it has been,

No glorious strains of worship tenderly in the morning played Nor classical harmonies engulfed empty spaces and hearts delight. No continuous remixes played on repeat nor high spirited jamming with kindred souls. No spontaneous capriccio to rouse weary days Nor improvisation to inspire and liven old Spirits. The wintry November chill doth naught compare To the empty cold in our hearts Nor does it shatter the frozen silence in our lives . A soft film of dust lay gentle upon the frozen keys; The black and white tiles seem lost, Yearning thy nimble fingers to caress over them. Truly, you were a fiery Fantasia, a sweeping melody, a brilliant symphony that endless will play in our hearts . Until then, Beloved Play on the Heavenly music with Angelic voices thy accompaniment . Thy Eternal dwelling be in the Lord’s house Whence we’ll meet again. “Teisonhien nuo memo nuokozehiekeruopfünuosuozemhidzükruyawe.” K-3652

PSAN wants govt to revert to earlier system Petitions CM to allow NPSC to recruit candidates to Class III (non-Gazetted) posts, besides constituting State Selection Board

DIMAPUR: Public Service Aspirants of Nagaland (PSAN) has petitioned Chief Minister TR Zeliang to revert to the earlier system of recruitment into Class III (non-Gazetted) posts by Nagaland Public Service Commission (NPSC), besides constituting a State Selection Board (SSB). The organisation also set a one-week deadline for the State government to act on its demand, failing which it threatened to go on an indefinite statewide democratic protest. While lauding efforts of the State government to reform NPSC, the PSAN said the decision by the government to scrap ClassIII (non-gazetted) in the pay band of Rs 5,200 to 20,200 with grade pay of Rs 2,800 and above from the purview of NPSC, except Secretariat Assistant (SA), would kill the hopes of thousands of civil service aspirants as the number of posts would drastically fall to around 30 or even less in the Civil Service Examination (CSE), even as the number of candidates multiplied every year. The memorandum said altogether 16,000 had appeared for the CSE in 2016. “Also, since these are all executive posts which can help one reach up to the level of Head of Department

(HoD), recruitment exams should be conducted by the highest recruiting body in the state i.e., NPSC and not by any departmental recruitment board. The civil service aspirants will never agree to this decision and thus, we strongly appeal to the government to revert back immediately to the earlier system of recruitment by NPSC,” the memorandum stated. While demanding that the government immediately scrap the departmental recruitment boards and set up an SSB to recruit candidates to all Class-III posts with a grade pay of less than Rs 2,800, PSAN added that until such time all these posts should be requisitioned to NPSC for open recruitment, “the exam of which should be only written and without interview”. The organisation also demanded that NPSC declare the written and interview marks of CSE 2016 as per a representation submitted by it to the Chief Secretary on October 3rd. Threatening to go on an indefinite stir if the government did not act before 13th November, PSAN also warned that the government would be held solely responsible should there be any untoward incident during the stir programme thereafter.

Journalists move court against RCom

Correspondent

Shillong, Nov 7: A group of journalists in Meghalaya moved a consumer court against Reliance Communications Ltd for shutting down its voice call service without prior notice to its consumers, a journalist said on Tuesday. Anil Ambani-led Reliance Communication Ltd, also known as RCom, had shut down its service in Meghalaya since October 25. In a petition to the President, District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, East Khasi Hills, the journalists said that the failure of the telecom company to inform its consumers about its decision has caused harassment besides affecting daily work, time

We could not receive important calls be it from the public who wanted to provide newsrelated information, or those wishing to give advertisement to newspapers. This has badly affected not only our esteemed readers but advertisers and the whole media houses,” the petition stated The journalists also informed the consumer court that they tried to approach the Reliance Communications Ltd office, Shillong to air the grievances, but surprisingly, the office was locked. Noting that Reliance

customers’ especially old ones, who have paid security deposit depending on the tariff to the company when they applied for SIM Cards, the petitioners said, “It is expected that the company refund the amount to the rightful customers. But despite interrupted service and harassment, the company has now sent messages to its customers especially those using post-paid SIM Cards asking them to pay the bill.” The journalists sought the intervention of the consumer court to address the problem and direct the service provider to adequately compensate for the inconveniences caused due to its arbitrary decision to stop the service, thereby making the customers helpless and keeping them in darkness.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

IMPHAL, Nov 7: Opposition political parties in Manipur including Congress have geared up to observe ‘Black Day’ in protest against demonetization which the ruling BJP will mark the first anniversary as ‘Anti-Black Money Day’. On November 8 last year Prime Minister Narendra Modi had made all existing Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes invalid overnight. A year after the move which BJP termed as war against black money, 10 opposition parties in the state have recently announced joining the nationwide protest by organizing a mass rally on the streets in Imphal. Addressing a news conference at Congress Bhavan Tuesday, members of Congress, RSP, AIFB, BSP, CPI, NCP, AAP,

CPI-M, AITC and JD-S said that the parties were all set to observe the day with the proposed rally. The rally will pass through different routes in the city and converge at Iboyaima Shumang Leela Shanglen at Palace compound, where a meeting will be held. Justifying the observation of the day as Black Day, Manipur CPI leader and former minister Dr M Nara Singh said, “Such a great event has now become a historical blunder.” While recalling the suffering to the people due to demonetization, he alleged that the move was announced only after “they have converted their black money into white money.” “Narendra Modi’s announcement of demonetization plunged the entire country into a sea of misery. Even today, the

Papers on test

fter Panama Papers, new ‘Paradise Papers’ leak reveals secrets of the world elite’s hidden wealth. When the Panama Papers were released in 2016, they thrust a spotlight on the tax affairs of the rich and powerful. The records, published in 2016, revealed the names of individuals who paid the firm to set up offshore entities in tax havens around the world. According to The Indian Express, more than 500 Indians featured in the list, including Bollywood stars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan, KP Singh CEO of DLF, and India bulls chairman Samir Gehlaut among others. Now 18 months later, the so-called Paradise Papers have yet again brought the matter under global scrutiny. The files reveal data of over 25,000 companies owned by individuals from 180 countries, from 1950 to 2016. According to the Indian Express, the core difference between the Panama Papers and Paradise Papers, other than the latter’s higher number of documents, is that Panama was more about individuals whereas Paradise details dealings of corporate houses, companies and the incorporation of trusts. The Paradise Papers is a database comprising around 13.4 million documents detailing the tax affairs of some of the wealthiest people and companies in the world. The majority of the data comes from papers leaked by Appleby, a Bermuda-based law firm specialising in offshore accounts. The Duchy of Lancaster, which manages investments for the Queen’s £520m private estate, invested around £10m in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda-based funds. All funds are not illegal since there is a difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion. Tax avoidance involves companies and people using legal ways and following the rules to reduce their tax bill. In contrast, tax evasion is an offence and involves illegal ways of paying less tax than required. In India tax avoidance and tax evasion bear the same blot. Politicians in India talk so much about black money to impress the gullible public about their honesty. In the present political environment, the BJP has associated black money with the Congress. However the Panama papers have exposed names of 714 Indians including politicians from both the BJP and Congress besides bollywood celebrities, industrialist, lobbyists and the super ultra-rich. When the name of union minister of state Jayant Sinha was exposed in the Panama papers, BJP however was quick to issue a character certificate by defending him against any wrongdoing. The other BJP member of parliament, R.K. Sinha also figured in the Paradise papers. Congress members- Sachin Pilot, former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot, Harsha Moily (former Union minister Veerappa Molly’s son) and Karti Chidabaram (son of P.C. Chidambaram) also figure in the papers. In Pakistan the court had tried and convicted Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of having wealth more than his known sources of income. While Indians pride themselves of their democratic system, the courts have failed to convict big-wigs. The names of the 714 need to be put under scanner and the law should then takes its own course of action. Since Prime Minister Modi has been consistently ranting against black money, corruption etc this is the occasion for him to show whether he meant every word or he was merely engaging in political rhetoric. It may be mentioned that Lal Krishna Advani resigned from Union Cabinet soon after his name figured in hawala-deals.

DailyDevotion The Undetected Sacredness of Circumstances We know that all things work together for good to those who love God… —Romans 8:28 The circumstances of a saint’s life are ordained of God. In the life of a saint there is no such thing as chance. God by His providence brings you into circumstances that you can’t understand at all, but the Spirit of God understands. God brings you to places, among people, and into certain conditions to accomplish a definite purpose through the intercession of the Spirit in you. Never put yourself in front of your circumstances and say, “I’m going to be my own providence here; I will watch this closely, or protect myself from that.” All your circumstances are in the hand of God, and therefore you don’t ever have to think they are unnatural or unique. Your part in intercessory prayer is not to agonize over how to intercede, but to use the everyday circumstances and people God puts around you by His providence to bring them before His throne, and to allow the Spirit in you the opportunity to intercede for them. In this way God is going to touch the whole world with His saints. Am I making the Holy Spirit’s work difficult by being vague and unsure, or by trying to do His work for Him? I must do the human side of intercession— utilizing the circumstances in which I find myself and the people who surround me. I must keep my conscious life as a sacred place for the Holy Spirit. Then as I lift different ones to God through prayer, the Holy Spirit intercedes for them. Your intercessions can never be mine, and my intercessions can never be yours, “…but the Spirit Himself makes intercession” in each of our lives (Romans 8:26). And without that intercession, the lives of others would be left in poverty and in ruin.

Confrontation at border once again

hina does it again. It helps a well-known terrorist to escape the punishment. Azar Masood, a first rank terrorist was sought to be banned by the UN. Beijing used it veto so that he stays free. This time it was not a casual move but a deliberate act on the part of Beijing. The 1962 attack by China on India when Beijing pulverized Indian troops in Aksai Chin looked only a probe to register presence. But it turned out to be a full-fledged attack. In the same way, Chinese troops would appear here and there without occupying the territory. Full marks to Peking arrogance. It would summon the envoy and convey its displeasure, nothing beyond. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Arunachal Pradesh was not long ago. However, it brought the issue to the fore. The territory which is part of India was never claimed by China. The reality is, however, different. Beijing told our ambassador Ashok Kantha that Modi’s visit “undermined China’s territorial sovereignty right and interests.” Not long ago, Beijing had begun stapling visas of

the people of Arunachal visiting China to indicate that it was a “separate territory” and not part of India. Only a few days ago did Modi say publicly that the land was India’s. New Delhi bore the humiliation quietly then as it has done now. This is, however, the first time that Beijing has publicly expressed its unhappiness. Yet in the past China had accepted without demur the maps showing Arunachal Pradesh as India’s territory. The dispute has been over a small territory lying between Arunachal and China’s border. The status of Arunachal has been seldom questioned. Again, it is a part of arrogance when the important message is conveyed through Chinese vice-Foreign Minister Liu Zhenmin, who says: “Modi’s visit undermined China’s territorial sovereignty. Such act by the Indian side amplified differences between the two countries on the border issue and thus went against the principles and consensus that the two sides reached on properly addressing the issue.” “You will be reborn in Free Tibet,” wrote the Dalai

His land, The Dalai Lama’s Tibet, has been occupied visit may not have raised

doubts about Tibet but it renewed the debate of its annexation by Beijing once again. It’s warning to India that the Dalai Lama’s visit would affect the normal relations between the two countries. It is heartening to see that India does not pay no attention and went ahead to bless his visit. I cannot understand why Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju had to emphasis that the Dalai Lama’s visit was purely religious. It is up to the Dalai Lama to tell what led him to trip to Arunachal. The rift between India and China is all about the latter’s claim over Arunachal Pradesh. China had for long been claiming this Indian state to be its territory and referring it to be the abode of the spiritual leader. Hence, the visit of the Dalai Lama to Arunchal would not be in its interest because they regard him as “a separatist.” China has been trying to project the Dalai Lama as a political entity. “We don’t have any intention of engaging with the Dalai Lama so as to irritate China,” says the minister. The spiritual leader, dur-

ing his week-long stay, is expected to conduct religious discourses in Tawang, Bomdila and other areas of Arunachal Pradesh. In fact, China’s problems with India have its roots in the British demarcation of the Indo-China border. Even today, China refuses to acknowledge the MacMahon Line that demarcates Ar unachal Pradesh to be a part of India. Any activity that takes place in this area is viewed skeptically. A visit by Indian diplomats has flared up the issued in the past. While China has often called on countries not to host the Dalai Lama, it has adopted a different approach towards India, knowing well how sentimentally Hindus are attached to Buddhism and the Dalai Lama. Beijing wants him to be confined to Dharamshala where he and his followers have settled since 1959. That the Dalai Lama has still visited Arunachal Pradesh goes to show New Delhi’s realization that it has military strength. It was a different story in 1962 when soldiers did not have even shoes for a mountain combat. India is now a power to reckon with.

Post-mortem

Nagaland-this way to a clean election

F

rom the present context of political-economicemployment and developmental crisis and uncertainties, the 13th State Assembly Election to be held in February/March 2018 is undoubtedly seen and watched with too high anxious expectations by many concern public in the state as the core issue of the peoples welfare is at stake highly and astounding for this election. In this connection, the NBCC has come forward to declare its agenda for the 13th State Assembly Election with its appeal to the public and the politicians in particulars through their article caption “Nagaland, which way” on 6th August 2017 published in local dailies. This is highly appreciated as right move, and indication of NBCC’s deep concern for the deterioration of the State governance under the present Govt. of the state which has hit the lowest bottom rock ever since Nagaland statehood 1963. However the NBCC’s dream of achieving clean election can turn out to be far fetched dream -a dream not achievable if it fails to learn the right lessons from the past failures or fail to identify the real root cause behind the past successive unclean elections conducted over 30(thirty) years up-to date and particularly the 12th Assembly Election held in 2013 in which the NBCC’s clean election campaign result turned out to be a disappointing fiasco, a clear slap on the face of NBCC, because the election expenditure by contesting candidates shoot up 400-500% after clean election campaign in 2012 by NBCC. Then this has happened? The reason is the NBCC did not open its mouth to murmur even a feeble voice against monster corruption which has ruined this Christian state of Nagaland, mainly due to corrupt politicians and bureaucrats style of running the state affairs which are directly responsible for laying death-trap on all vital importance of public interest issues such as - (1) Reckless, senseless, mismanagement in creating a staggering amount of state’s financial liabilities (2) Peoples economic crisis of all time high (3) Total saturation and stagnation of jobs employment generation (4) Total infrastructural and industrial development paralysis (5) Impossibility of conducting clean democratic election due to vote for cash electoral business rampant practiced by corrupt politi-

cians and political parties who have embezzled state public fund in thousands of crore rupees stocked for purchase of peoples mandate and continue to loot, plunder and exploitation (6) Zero-performance of state Govt. functionaries to check and deport IBI influx despite a heavily overstaffed administrative and state police force in the state which is fully responsible for turning Dimapur District into a safe haven for lakhs of IBI for which it is exactly fit case now to call Dimapur as Miyapur and may become strong Islamic bastion in near future to export terror. The only viable option before NBCC to achieve clean election is to come out of comfort zone in which NBCC must seek to please and obey God more then men and spearhead the mass campaign against the massive corruption in the state governance created and responsible by the vote for cash mandated Govt. of tainted politicians (tainted before God and the people, not the CBI) only then, the public(voters) who are equal stakeholders in the democratic set-up can be convinced to refuse vote for cash offered by corrupt politicians and political parties in the 13th State Assembly Election (2018) As a laymen, it is my sincere appeal to NBCC, to either take up effective leadership role in saving Nagaland from the jaws of monster corruption which has reduced us to become shameless, worthless Christians before God and the world, or to be justified before the eyes of suffering masses of the state as silent collaborator in collusion with corrupt rich politicians who have ruined the Christian state of Nagaland. Therefore the bigger, overriding issue is to declare war against corruption which the ACAUT had declared on 25th Aug’ 2017 and the NBCC should declare its campaign against corruption as how to root out and eliminate this scourge from our state first, or otherwise, NBCC’s assertion “Unclean election is the root of corruptions and all other social evils” sounds ridiculous and a pure travesty of truth, because only in absence of corruption, clean election can be conducted and as long as corruption is preserved, allow to flourish in the state, clean election is impossible. Let us not repeat the 2013 clean election disappointing failure. Corruption is our Christian state has become a mon-

ster behemoth size, pervading every space of our social political and spiritual affairs reducing us as spiritually lifeless Christians. We have never given a serious introspection of corruption on Biblical context or terms and failed to recognize corruption as an open rebellion against God to whom we believe and committed to obey. In the old testament, the corruptions practiced by the peoples or nations of God believers are recognized as an open rebellion against God, today our Christian State of Nagaland is doing the same by being the most corrupt state in india. We are rebelling against God and grieving His Holy Spirit by being too silent against too much corruption in our state. We have thrown away Christian spiritual culture, values, conviction, ethics and character in pursuit of material wealth and greed for money. The need of the hour before us now is mass socialpolitical revolution supported by mass spiritual revolution through revivals in all the churches of Nagaland so that the curse of the present corruption (rebellion against God) will not be reserved to be paid by the posterity of future generations “I will pour out my spirit on your offspring and my blessings on your descendants”. Let us overthrow the corruption empire by the power of God so that God’s blessing not curse be showered on the future generation through us. In Noah’s time, God sent great flood to destroy all mankind that had practiced and thrived on corruption (rebellion against God). In Prophet Jeremiah’s time, God punished Israel nation by sending Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Jerusalem and took away all Israel’s princes, princesses, young men and women as captives to Babylon and looted all treasures of Jewish nation and all silver and golds from Holy Temple of Jerusalem in 586 BC. This happened because people of Israel had forsaken and forgotten their God by becoming too corrupt in Israel Kingdom as it is today in Nagaland. The sardis churches of Nagaland lead by NBCC must listen and heed the call of God, revealed by His spirit ‘’you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead, wake up, or what you have is going to die”. Is there anything too hard for the Lord? (Jer 32:27) Er.N.K.Sumi, Rtd. S.E.

Nation without nationals

opulation, territory, government and sovereignty are cardinal elements that characterised a nation state. A Memorandum submitted to the British Government in 1929 had roped in the above elements as rendered hereunder: (a) “our population numbering 1,02,000...have no social affinities with the Hindus or Mussalmans” – a definite reference to population; (b) “Our country within the administered area consists of more than eight regions..., and there are more regions outside the administered area...” – a descriptive extent of our territory; (c) “..., we also have much fear (that) the introduction of foreign laws and customs (will) supersede our own customary laws” – a pronouncement for a need of government; and (d) “... leave us alone to determine ourselves as in ancient times” – an absolute declaration of sovereignty. Following the Framework Agreement which was signed by the GoI and the NSCM (IM) on August 3, 2015, much had been discussed on various hypotheses stemming from both fact and fake frameworks alleged to have been agreed upon by the parties involved. Contents of the terms that were circulated to have been hammered out by the parties had also been published in various media platforms, and the silence of the negotiating party had gathered spark to the mounting doubts. As a stakeholder, every citizen enjoys a right to decode the concerns for redressal (if already arrived at) and for perusal (if dialogue is in progress). Nation without territory: In an article titled “Pan Naga-Hoho under Framework Agreement” contributed by KK Sema, it may be mentioned that the Hoho’s function will transcend “the territorial limits of any state and will be able to operate in any state where Na-

gas are settled in the region”. Besides, MLAs representing Nagas from our neighbouring states including Assam, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh (no mention was made in respect of Nagas living in Myanmar) shall be selected as members of the Hoho. Also, the interlocutor himself asserted on various instances that territorial integrity of the neighbouring states shall remain intact. These three deductions said it all that the much hyped amalgamation of every Naga-inhabited area into a single political unit with a definitive territorial limit had been bludgeoned. Delineated territory, an essential element of a state, was consigned to further disintegration even before a superstructure state takes its shape. Trysting with the priced political ideologies of sovereignty and integration, the latter had off late gained momentum at the expense of the former. Now, it appears that even our responsibility to integrate and safeguard our ancestral lands bequeath to us by our forefathers is being abdicated. Pan-Naga Hoho and its future: The Pan-Naga Hoho is stated to be a statutory body. Our general understanding of the term “statutory” means permitted or governed by statute or law. Any law or statute enacted by a government is subject to amendment unless it is rendered un-amendable. For the sake of wider connotation, it may be deconstructed that Pan-Naga Hoho is a creation of the parliament of India and so shall be rescinded as and when sanctioned by the parliament. This highly-sounded extra-territorial body may assume dynamics in its early formative years. (To be concluded) Nukhosa Chüzho, Kohima, (khozch@gmail.com)

Reader’s Post Sir,

Wake up- Nagas

My dear fellow Nagas, please wake up, before it is too late. Corruption has overtaken the beautiful land of ours, called Nagaland. To cite a few examples that comes to my mind are:The government servants, from the Top to the Bottom (i.e, Ministers down to the 4th grade) are polluted with deep corruption. In order to obtain a simple signature, one needs to bribe one or the other in the establishment. The outcome is evident from the government servants competing to construct high grade modernise private buildings while the public structures are left to deplete. If we have a look at the Border Issue with Assam, the unfortunate thing is that while Assam is well prepared with stockpiles of sophisticated arms and ammunitions, to face any eventualities. Where as in Nagaland, the funds meant for the development of the Police Department are blatantly siphoned off. The recent case of Pillai, depicts the level of corruption existing in the Nagaland Police Department. So, this is where my personal call for ‘change’, comes in. Instead of complaining against ‘corruption’, let us all join our hands and minds, in changing ourselves, the society and the system. Then, we will witness the bright future our Blessed Nagaland. My clarion call to every Naga, ‘Be an agent of Change’. Akumdong, Arkong Ward, Mokokchung

the rich converting their black money into white while the poor have undergone immense suffering,” he said, “invoking the memory of more than a hundred people who lost their lives last year in the wake of the demonetisation”. Calling the withdrawing of 86 per cent of legal tender in one single stroke as undemocratic and a coercive move, the former Prime Minister said “the demonetisation was clearly not the solution” to end the menace of black money and tax evasion in India. “Demonetisation has proved to be a mere bluster to reap political dividends while the real offenders have escaped,” he said, again calling it “an organised loot and legalised plunder”. He said while the demonetisation had reduced economic growth to 5.7 per cent, it was still “bound to be a gross underestimate as the pain of the informal sector is not adequately captured in the calculation of the GDP”. What was even more tragic, he said, is the fact that none of the lessons from this “monumental blunder” has been learnt by Prime Minister Naren-

dra Modi. “Instead of providing relief to the poor and the marginalized farmers, traders and small and medium businesses, the government chose to inflict on them a badly designed and hastily implemented GST”. Manmohan Singh said if anyone had benefited from the “twin blow -- a complete disaster for our economy” it was China whose imports to India have grown by a whopping 23 per cent in just one year. He questioned the rationale behind the anti-nationalistic slur thrown on those who criticize Modi and the NDA government. “This attitude of suspecting everyone to be a thief or anti-national, the low-level rhetoric is damaging to democratic discourse and has real consequences for how we relate to one another as citizens. Political leaders must stick to the high end.” Hours after the former Prime Minister’s speech, Finance Minister Jaitley strongly defended the economic reforms calling note ban a “watershed moment in the history of the Indian economy”.

ENCSU phase-wise protest from Nov 9 Response to HE deptt

(From p-1) of ENCSU federating units and presidents of college students’ council across Nagaland to extend cooperation and unceasing support to the union as it fight for their rights and share. Vowing to fight for justice till its demand was fulfilled, the union stated that further course of action would be announced through respective federating presidents and local dailies. It has also requested the college authorities to cooperate and extend support during the course of agitation.

A day after the higher education department clarified that it had only received the first instalment of Scheduled Tribes Students’ Scholarship from the Union Ministry of Tribal Affairs, the ENCSU has described as “shocking” that the department was blaming the ministry for its failure. ENCSU maintained that the ministry had nothing to do with delaying in disbursement of scholarship since the ministry already asked the department to produce utilization certificate on July 4, 2017, which the department failed to comply.

Stating that HE department’s clarification did not hold water, the ENCSU said there was no point of asking the union not to demand non release of installment had the department gone through its press release published on October 17, 2017. ENCSU urged the department to understand that the union was not asking beyond their share but only little share that they ought to get and rightfully belonged to them. Stating that the scholarship scheme was a grant-in-aid to the students from the central government, ENCSU maintained

that the higher education department and the state government should refrain from manipulating the scheme every year. Meanwhile, the union has challenged the department to clarify to its five-point demand so the Nagas could judge who was on the right track. ENCU has also urged all the Nagas especially present college students not to get mislead by the “half cooked clarifications” by the department but stand up boldly and demand facts and figures in black and white from the department.

New Delhi, Nov 7 (IANS): Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said on Tuesday that investigations related to the Paradise Papers about offshore financial holdings will be on the lines of the Panama Papers and said that each case will be dealt on “individual merit”. “The process which we followed in Panama Papers, almost same process will be followed in Paradise Papers so that it could be identified which account is legal and which is illegal. Each case will be considered on individual merit,” Jaitley said in response to a question on how the government is going to probe the Paradise Papers disclosures. He said the names that figured in Panama Papers were investigated after sending notices. “They were some two-three types of cases. Among them some accounts were completely illegal. After tracing them action was initiated

The government on Monday directed that investigations in cases of Paradise Papers will be monitored through a reconstituted Multi Agency Group, headed by the Chairman,

CBDT (Central Board of Direct Taxes) having representatives from CBDT, ED (Enforcement Directorate), RBI (Reserve Bank of India) and FIU (Financial Intelligence Unit). There are 714 Indian entities and individuals having financial holdings abroad, the Indian Express said in a front-page banner story done as part of a world-wide International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) probe. In India, as it did with Panama Papers, the Express investigated these records - involving Indians and Indian entities -- for over 10 months to come up with the India findings which it said will be published in over 40 investigative reports.

NEW DELHI, NOV 7 (IANS): A year into demonetisation, the opposition and the government on Tuesday exchanged verbal blows over the action with former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh calling it disastrous while Finance Minister Arun Jaitley rejected the charge saying there was an ethical and moral rationale behind the decision which had given a “new direction” to the economy. Jaitley, however, acknowledged that the “benefits may not be immediately visible” but would make future generations proud. Fielded by the party in pollbound Gujarat, Manmohan Singh said the measure had failed its ostensible purpose of curbing wealth accumulated through tax evasion as it was known by now that none of the stated objectives of eliminating black money, terror financing and counterfeit currency have been met. “The fact that more more than 99 per cent of the (spiked) currency came back into the banking system has punctured the government’s claim. There are also widespread reports of

Ghaziabad, Nov 7 (IANS): In view of air pollution touching alarming levels, Ghaziabad District Magistrate Ritu Maheshwari on Tuesday ordered the closure of both government and private schools up to Class V for two days, said a senior officer. Besides, the district magistrate also ordered a complete halt to construction activities in the city for a week, sprinkling of water on roads and penalising citizens if found disposing off garbage in the open. “The District Magistrate has also recommended to close 15 polluting industrial units and impose penalties on five construction companies for violating orders,” said District Information Officer (DIO) Raj Bahadur Singh. According to him, the Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA), municipal corporation, Jal Nigam, Public Works Department and the National Highway Authority of India have been asked to take extraordinary measures to curb pollution.

F.B.I. investigators swept the area outside the First Baptist Church on Monday. (Inset) Devin P. Kelley.

S U T H E R L A N D SPRINGS, Nov 7 (AGENCIES): A day after a gunman massacred parishioners in a small Texas church, the Air Force admitted on Monday that it had failed to enter the man’s domestic violence court-martial into a federal database that could have blocked him from buying the rifle he used to kill 26 people. Under federal law, the conviction of the gunman, Devin P. Kelley, for domestic assault on his wife and toddler stepson — he had cracked the child’s skull — should have stopped Kelley from legally purchasing the military-style rifle and three other guns he acquired in the last four years. “The Air Force has launched a review of how the service handled the criminal records of former Airman Devin P. Kelley following his 2012 domestic violence conviction,” the Air Force said in a statement.

The statement said Heather Wilson, the Air Force secretary, and Gen. David Goldfein, the Air Force chief of staff, had ordered the Air Force inspector general to “conduct a complete review of the Kelley case.” The Air Force also said it was looking into whether other convictions had been improperly left unreported to the federal database for firearms background checks. New details of the killings also emerged on Monday, including a possible motive. Law enforcement officials said Kelley may have been driven by anger toward his estranged wife’s family, the final chapter in a life full of domestic rage. In addition to his courtmartial, in which his previous wife was the victim, he had been investigated on a rape complaint, though he was not charged and his

relationship to the woman in the complaint was unclear. The mother of Mr. Kelley’s most recent wife, Danielle, was a member of the First Baptist Church here, the target of Kelley’s rage on Sunday. “The suspect’s motherin-law attended this church,” Freeman Martin, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, said at a news conference on Monday. “We know that he had made threatening texts,” he added, declining to elaborate. “This was not racially motivated. It wasn’t over religious beliefs. It was a domestic situation going on,” Martin added. Kelley’s wife and her parents were not at the church on Sunday, the authorities said. They could not be reached for interviews on Monday. Among the victims of the massacre, the worst mass shooting in Texas history, were eight members of one family and at least a dozen children, one as young as 18 months old, officials said. One of the victims was pregnant, and officials included the child she was carrying in the death toll of 26. Officers described finding a scene of unfathomable carnage, where mothers were found sprawled atop children they had tried to shield. Sheriff Joe Tackitt Jr. of Wilson County said that deputies found “blood ever ywhere” inside the church.

Dubai, Nov 7 (AGENCIES): Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has accused Iran of an act of “direct military aggression” by supplying missiles to rebels in Yemen. This “may be considered an act of war”, state media quoted the prince as telling UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson in a telephone conversation. On Saturday, a ballistic missile was intercepted near the Saudi capital. Iran has denied arming the Houthi movement, which is fighting a Saudi-led coalition backing Yemen’s government. Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Monday that Saudi Arabia’s “wars of aggression” and “regional bullying” were threatening the Middle East. Houthi-aligned media reported that the rebels had fired a Burkan H2 ballistic missile at King Khaled International Airport, which is about 850km (530 miles) from the Yemeni border and 11km north-east of Riyadh, on Saturday evening. Saudi media reported that missile defences intercepted the missile in flight, but that some missile fragments fell inside the airport area. No casualties were reported. Human Rights Watch said the launch of an indiscriminate missile at a pre-

dominantly civilian airport was an apparent war crime. The official Saudi Press Agency reported on Tuesday that in his telephone call with Prince Mohammed, Mr Johnson had “expressed his condemnation of launching a ballistic missile by Houthi coup militias” and affirmed “Britain’s stand with the kingdom of Saudi Arabia in confronting security threats”. “For his par t, the crown prince stressed that the involvement of the Iranian regime in supplying its Houthi militias with missiles is considered a direct military aggression by the Iranian regime and may be considered an act of war against the kingdom,” it added. Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir told CNN on Monday that Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement, an Iranian proxy, was also involved.

Donald Trump urges N Korea to ‘come to table’ over nuclear issue Seoul, Nov 7 (AGENCIES): US President Donald Trump has urged North Korea to “come to the table” and discuss giving up its nuclear weapons. Striking a different tone from previous fiery rhetoric, he said he “hoped to God” he did not have to use the US military against Pyongyang. Trump was speaking at a press conference with his South Korean counterpart Moon Jae-in in Seoul, as part of his tour of Asia. The US leader has previously threatened “fire and fury” against Pyongyang. He is on a five-nation tour of Asia, where North Korea’s nuclear ambitions have been high on his agenda. At a press conference, Trump and Moon reiterated their call for the North to denuclearise, with Trump saying it “makes sense for North Korea to come to the table”, and to “do the right thing, not only for North Korea but for humanity all over the world”. Though the US had deployed a significant military presence in the region, he said he “hoped to God” he would not have to use it against North Korea. The two leaders also called on China and Russia to put pressure on Pyongyang, and said they were lifting the limit on South Korean missile payloads, which they had agreed to

dent will only spend about 24 hours in South Korea, it is perhaps the most symbolic stop in his Asian tour, says the BBC’s Robin Brant in Seoul. The trip is designed to bolster the military alliance that has long protected South Korea, and strength in unity is the message they want to send to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un just across the border, says our correspondent. But the two leaders also have their differences. Trump has previously accused Moon’s government of trying to appease the North. He has also previously criticised the free trade agreement between the US and South Korea, and has made clear he wants to renegotiate its terms.

do in September. Trump also said that South Korea would be ordering “billions of dollars” in military equipment from the US, which he said would reduce their trade deficit. It was unclear if a deal was already struck, but Moon said they had agreed to “begin consultations on acquisitions” that would enhance South Korea’s defence capabilities. Trump had earlier tweeted that “massive military and energy orders” from Japan were also happening, and claimed on Monday that Japan could shoot down Pyongyang’s missiles with US equipment. Japan’s leader Shinzo Abe said earlier that he was considering it. Though the US presi-

Starc makes history with two hat-tricks in one game

SYDNEY, Nov 7 (Agencies): Strike bowler Mitchell Starc became the first man to take two hattricks in the same first-class game in Australia on Tuesday as he hit ominous form ahead of the Ashes Test series against England. The left-arm pacer became only the eighth player in first-class cricket history -- and the first in 39 years -- to achieve the feat as he spearheaded New South Wales to victory over Western Australia in the Sheffield Shield. Having removed Jason Behrendorff, David Moody and Simon Mackin in WA’s first innings to complete his

Chelsea can overhaul Man City again: Courtois

Starc on the first ball of his next over to Australia and NSW captain Steve Smith at first slip to end the match. Starc finished with the match figures of seven for 97 in NSW’s 171-run victory. He also took a careerbest 8-73 for NSW against South Australia under lights at Adelaide Oval and looks in ominous touch ahead of the Test series. Australian leg-spinner Jimmy Matthews remains the only player to take two hat-tricks in a Test match after he did it against South Africa in Manchester in 1912.

London, Nov 7 (Agencies): Manchester City look to be in an “unstoppable” run of form but Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois says there is plenty of time for the London club to reel the leaders in and retain their Premier League title. City took the early lead in the title race last season and were eight points ahead of Chelsea after the opening six games before Antonio Conte’s team went on a 13game winning run to climb to first place seal the league trophy. This season, Pep Guardiola’s team have a ninepoint advantage over Chelsea but Courtois said City might lose steam as the season goes on. “Last year we were eight points behind City at

one stage and then we went on a winning run. I hope we can do the same,” Courtois told the club’s website. “We have to hope now they drop points. At the moment they are a bit unstoppable, they are playing very well and scoring goals. But the season is very long, they could have injuries, play a bit worse and lose some games. We have to be there and keep winning our games.” Chelsea manager Antonio Conte also dismissed media reports linking him to AC Milan after Sunday’s win over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea return to league action after the international break with a trip to West Bromwich Albion on November 18.

Mary Kom enters Asian C’ships final

Nagaland eves thrash Arunachal

Nagaland Post, Dimapur wednesday, november 8, 2017

LCFC lift Tokhu Emong football trophy

“I will just go out and do my best, just like I have done so far in this tournament.” The 35-year-old Rajya Sabha MP, who is also a former Olympic bronzemedallist, returned to her preferred weight category after five years of competing in 51kg, which was made an Olympic category in 2012. Once again, it was a bout fought largely on defensive tactics. The Japanese boxer seemed too wary to go near the Indian, who had to quite literally lunge at Komura for her right hooks to connect. Mary Kom’s patience with Komura’s tactics ran out in the second round and she increased the pace and ferocity of her own attacks to unsettle the Japanese. The shell guard to stave off Komura’s feeble right straights ensured that the Manipuri hardly took any blow in what turned out to be a lopsided contest. Sonia, in contrast, had to steer past a very aggressive Yodgoroy Mirzaeva, who lacked accuracy in placement of punches but not persistence. M i r z a eva ’s w i l d

swings were easy to deflect for the Haryana-boxer, a former silver-medallist at this event, but it was nonetheless a draining contest given the Uzbek’s relentless attempts at connecting something. In the end, Sonia was unanimously adjudged the victor and will be up against China’s Yin Junhua in the summit clash tomorrow. However, things went downhill for India after that as Asian Games bronzemedallist Sarita went down to China’s Dou Dan in the semifinals. Shiksha too ended with a bronze medal after being out- punched by Chinese Taipei’s former youth world champion Lin YuTing in the semifinals. Also signing off with bronze medals were Priyanka and Lovlina. Priyanka lost to Korean Oh Yeonji, while Lovlina went down to Kazakhstan’s Valentina Khalzova. In India’s last bout of the day, Seema, who got a direct entry into the semis courtesy the small size of the draw, lost to Kazakhstan’s Guzal Ismatova to end with a bronze medal.

Nagaland Captain Elina Muru lost the toss and was asked to field. Batting first, Arunachal Pradesh were all out at 48 in 27.4 overs with M Kalra and K Kaithal scoring 9 and 7 runs respectively. Arpana of Nagaland claimed 5 wickets giving away only 7 runs, while Muskan claimed 3 giving away 17 runs and Joyshree 2 wickets. Chasing a modest total, Nagaland scored 49 at the loss of 2 wickets in 11.2 overs. Muskan scored 25 while Elina contributed 6 runs. R Yadav and K Kaithal took 1 wicket each for Arunachal Pradesh.

Ho Chi Minh City, Nov 7 (PTI): M C Mary Kom (48kg) remained on course for a fifth Asian Championships gold after making the finals along with Sonia Lather (57kg) while five others settled for bronze medals at the continental showpiece here Tuesday. Former world champion L Sarita Devi (64kg), Priyanka Chaudhary (60kg), Lovlina Borgohain (69kg), Seema Punia (+81kg) and Shiksha (54kg) signed off with bronze medals after losing their respective semifinal bouts. Mary Kom started the day brightly for India, defeating Japan’s Tsubasa Komura in a unanimous 5-0 verdict to make the summit clash for the fifth

time in her six appearances at the event. Should she go on to win the final tomorrow, which will be against North Korea’s Kim Hyang Mi who got the better of Mongolian Nandintsetseg Myagmardulam, the Indian would be claiming her first Asian gold medal in the 48kg category. “It is a very special medal for me like all others I have won because every medal has a story behind it,” Mary Kom told PTI. “I am delighted to be in the final. I was expecting a tough fight but I managed to figure Komura out early enough. I am already looking towards the final but I am not going to think too much and put pressure on myself,” she said.

The 54-year-old, whose Sunderland side were relegated from the Premier League last season, succeeds Slaven Bilic, who was sacked on Monday with West Ham 18th in the table.

and seeing them get right behind the team, and my team also,” he said. “We need everybody with us. It’s a big job we have in hand now but, with everybody together, I’m sure we can get the right results between now and the end of the season.” Joint-Chairman David Sullivan said, “This is a unique position for David Gold and myself. It is the first time in almost eight years at West Ham that we have appointed a new manager during the season.” “We need somebody with experience, knowledge of the Premier League and the players in it, and we believe David is the right man to turn things around and get the best out of the players at the Club,” he added.
