Correspondent

Responding to the call by the Core Committee comprising representatives from CANSSEA, FONSESA, NSSA and NF&ASA, the rally was held at the Old MLA Hostel junction here under the aegis of CANSSEA. The Core Committee warned that if NIA was not withdrawn immediately from the State, it(NIA) will then have to arrest around 1.30 lakh government employees in the State over the same issue of payment of taxes to NNPGs. Carrying placards some which read “Action Taken Under Duress Cannot Be Termed As Wilfulness and Anti-National” ; “NIA, We Are Only Human; We Cannot Tolerate The Humiliation Anymore”, “Forced Taxation Is Not Equal To

Thousands of state government employees throng the streets of Kohima on Tuesday. (NP)

Aiding and Abetting”, etc, the employees later marched to Raj Bhavan where a memorandum was submitted to the Governor PB Acharya. Addressing media persons at the directorate of Tourism after submitting the memorandum, CANSSEA president, Dr. Zase Chusi, claimed that around ten thousand employees from all affiliated departments, both directorate and district offices under Kohima, participated in the silent rally. A Core Committee member also informed that the second phase of the rally would begin soon if there

was no positive action on the points raised in the memorandum. The committee also stated that a copy of the memorandum will be submitted to the chief minister and to the chief secretary. CANSSEA member Er Tsukti informed media that the “lightning strike” carried out by NIA in almost all the departments had made every state government employee feel insecure about his or her life. He said initially NIA had literally begged for information which the well meaning government servants disclosed whatever informa-

tion they had as required under law. However, Tsukti said the entire exercise carried out by the NIA turned into a nightmare when the agency started prosecuting the employees instead. He said that 36 departments were currently under NIA scanner and warned that the hospitality of the Nagas should not be misconstrued. He also expressed regrets that government officials were made scapegoats by the NIA which tagged everybody as anti-national or terrorists. Land Resource director, Hoto Yeptho said gov-

ernment servants were insecure and had have become like orphans as there was no one to support them. He lamented the fact that despite heads of departments submitting representations to the chief secretary in May this year and to the chief minister in September, nothing has been done to address the issue. Yeptho stated that no employee felt happy when 24% was deducted from his or her salary adding “We are not paying willingly.” I&PR director, Limawati Ao disclosed that during the course of investigation NIA even went to the extent of asking the arrested officials what was he/she doing, before he/ she became a terrorist? He said NIA had painted the government officials worse than terrorists. He said that everybody knows that officials were always under threat from by NNPGs if they refused to pay. Lima said if the current trend continued, no officer would accept promotion or serve as drawing & disbursing officers or Cashiers and this would bring about a collapse of the system. Another CANSSEA member clarified that the

confederation was not against NIA, but warned the Government of India against playing a “double game” if it was serious about resolving the Naga political problem. Asserting that sending NIA to investigate and at the same time, holding political dialogue could not go together. He said if the Government of India was serious about the dialogue, then it should withdraw NIA probe immediately. CANSSEA office bearers also reacted to an allegation that payment to NNPG was just an alibi to divert government funds. He clarified that the allegation was meant to mislead people as it is known that all departments were forced to pay.

Memorandum to Gov

Meanwhile in the memorandum submitted to the Governor, CANSSEA demanded immediate intervention of the Central government to withdraw NIA and drop investigation against various departments relating to illegal taxation by Naga national political groups, considering the political dialogue between the Government of India and NNPGs.

President highlights better connectivity to NE PTI/Correspondent

Imphal, Nov 21: President Ram Nath Kovind Tuesday highlighted the Centre’s efforts to improve connectivity by modes of road, railway and air to the Northeastern states, and said the region was a “gateway to India linking with the Indian subcontinent and the ASEAN”. “The Government of India’s approach to the development of the Northeast is an urgent and speedy enhancement of connectivity. This is a multi-modal programme, across land, water and air,” the president said while inaugurating the Northeast Development Summit in Imphal, Manipur. He also underlined numerous projects taken up to improve travelling to Northeast by road, railway and air. “And it refers both to connectivity within India as well as to connectivity between India and its eastern and Southeast Asian neighbours,” Kovind said.

NPF fate to be known Dimapur again to face MDTOA reject DC’s after general convention heavy load shedding appeal to call off bandh

Staff Reporter

Dimapur, Nov 21 (NPN): All eyes in Nagaland and beyond will be on the NPF general convention convened by NPF president Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsü to be held at Khouchiezie local ground Kohima on Wednesday. The general convention was convened in pursuance to the directive of the Election Commission on October 17,2017 to resolve the ongoing NPF crisis after a parallel party organisation was formed by the NPF legislators who elected Neiphiu Rio as the interim president and later the full fledged president of the NPF faction. The Election Commission of India had not accepted the claims made by the NPF (TR-NR) general convention and the resolutions adopted therein. Since, as per the EC records, the group headed by Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsü was the original group but since there is now a dispute over party flag, symbol and letter head, Dr. Shürhozelie has been directed to hold the party convention after which the decision would be based on majority support. After the general convention and its outcome, the fate of both NPF rival claimants would be clear and that would also set the stage for the path to the assembly elections expected sometime during February 2018. There is also speculations about further realignment of political forces after the NPF general convention but that remains to be seen. Otherwise, also, the judgment on the PIL filed for dismissal of 26 parliamentary secretaries and advisors in Nagaland would also cause a major political crisis if it declared within the next few weeks.

DIMAPUR, NOV 21 (NPN): Power department on Tuesday informed that the citizens of Dimapur will be facing heavy load shedding as another 66/33 Kv, 20 MVA power transformer developed technical defects on November 20 afternoon. On November 12, the 66/33Kv, 20MVA was partially damaged during the fire incident. However, testing of the transformer revealed a major fault and may take some time for restoration, Executive Engineer transmission division, Dimapur, Er. Wabangmeren Jamir informed. In this regard, Er. Wabangmeren said there will be extended load shedding as the power supply capacity has been reduced to 1/3rd. It may be mentioned that Dimapur is being fed by three

power transformers each of 20MVA capacity. With two 20MVA transformers already damaged, Dimapur district is left with only one 20MVA. Due to this reason, there will be heavy load shedding as power supply will be distributed in phases, an official said. The department has therefore appealed to the public to bear with the inconvenience. Meanwhile, Er. Wabangmeren informed that the 10MVA transformer was in the process of being put in circuit, which would ease the power requirement to some extent. He said it will take one week to ten days for the 10MVA to be fully functional. He also informed that the department was trying its best to normalize power situation before Christmas since the department was in the process of arranging a 20MVA transformer.

DIMAPUR, NOV 21 (NPN): Mokokchung District Truck Owners’ Association (MDTOA) has rejected Mokokchung Deputy Commissioner (DC) Sushil Kumar Patel’s appeal for calling off the chakka bandh that began on Tuesday, asserting that the stir would continue for an indefinite period. In a letter to the DC on Tuesday, MDTOA president Sangyumongba Ao and secretary Imtisumak said they would restrict plying of commercial trucks and pick-ups in the entire Mokokchung district, besides restricting movement of commercial vehicles on Mariani-Mokokchung and Mokokchung-Amguri roads. MDTOA said the chakka bandh has been called as a last resort. MDTOA asserted that unless and until the concerned authorities repair/ improve the NH 702D (Mariani-Mokokchung road), the bandh would continue. MDTOA appreciated the DC’s gesture of calling a meeting to discuss the issue on Tuesday. However, the association rejected his appeal for postponing the chakka, besides seeking time till November 30 to attend the meeting. MDTOA reminded Patel that it had submitted a memorandum to him on October 30, 2017 seeking his attention to the plight of truckers. “Since there was no response, MDTOA had no option but to serve an ‘ultimatum’ on November 14,” the letter added.

Zeliang calls for tourist circuit in Northeast Gov, others condole demise of ex-MLA Kiyelho Pucho

D I M A P U R , N OV 2 1 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister, T.R. Zeliang has called for the creation of a tourist circuit for the Northeast to link up all festivals of the region. Speaking at the inaugural event of “North East Development Summit” at City Convention Centre, Palace Compound in Imphal on Tuesday, Zeliang said he had highlighted the importance of creating such a circuit for the region with Chief Ministers of Assam and Manipur.

the North-eastern States,” he stated. Stressing that strengthening the economy of the North-eastern States would create jobs for the youth which would not only help in economic transformation of the region but also address the challenges of insurgency and feeling of alienation, Zeliang said building economic linkages with East Asian countries was a way towards achieving this end. “Building economic linkages will help strengthen ties and contribute in the

development of Northeast India,” he said. Expressing his confidence on Act East Policy, which has great potential to strengthen the region’s economy, Zeliang said the Northeast, being a gateway to ASEAN nations, was a natural partner in the policy. Stressing on the importance of the policy that has the ability to not only end geographical remoteness of the North-eastern States but also transform the region by opening doors for Indian goods and services to the resilient ASEAN economies,

he said: “India’s Act East Policy should aim to achieve better connectivity for the North East region in all aspects – physically, emotionally and economically.” Terming three ‘C’s – Commerce, Connectivity and Culture – as important components that could play major roles in transforming the region, Zeliang called for urgent development of road and air connectivity in the region. “I urge the Government of India to be indulgent to our proposals,” he stated.

This is the potential we have to tap. And this is the idea that must inspire this Summit, he added. The president, who is on his maiden visit to the Northeast, said that the region was an amazing social and cultural ecosystem. “Few regions of the world have such a wealth of cultural, ethnic and religious diversity packed into such a small area. This variety is an inspiration for all of us,” he said. The Northeast is home to some of the oldest indigenous communities in the world. It is one of our spiritual homelands. Whether it is the traditions of the Devi in Kamakhya or of Buddhism in Tawang and elsewhere, they make for a sacred bond that unites India with Southeast Asia, he said.

While giving concluding remarks, chief secretary, Nagaland, Pankaj Kumar, said to make a meaningful intervention and address the concern of the farmers, as family in the villages depended on farming for village economy. While appealing all likeminded entrepreneurs to make conscious effort, Pankaj said that government should provide reliable mar-

keting outlet for the farmers since volume in production was still low though surplus was high. Regretting that farmers would not be able to have meaningful sustenance unless their income improved, Pankaj added that market through technology was the most important. The three projects IFAD, JICA and KFW were to help in improving the income of the farmers and habitat of the state, he added. In the first session, moderated by principal secretary & APC, T.

(NP) Correspondent KO H I M A , N OV 2 1 (NPN): Alder College Kohima celebrated its 25th anniversary with founder principal Emeritus Patkai Christian College, Nagaland, chief administrator, Patkai Christian Academy Manipur, Rev. Tuisem A. Shishak Ph.D. as the chief guest at the college’s auditorium on Tuesday. Chief guest in his speech congratulated the management and the college community for completing 25 years of existence. He reminded to the gathering on the occasion quoted from the Bible psalmist “Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain, unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stand guard in vain”. Rev. Shishak said faith and learning must coexist and be integrated in every Christian educational institution as the foundation for every Christian learning. Stressing on the importance of liberal education, he said a liberally-educated man was balanced, rational, righteous, civil, ethically matured, literary able student and lover of virtue. While admitting that “we” have fallen short of

nurturing an intellectual culture in colleges, including Patkai Christian College, Rev Shishak said that there was no competitive spirit either in the students or faculty in research and scholarship. He said today the need for the quick acquisition of marketable skills, and vocational specialization at all levels of school and college career have created confusion concerning the primary focus of college education. He reminded the gathering the cultivation of mind and intellect as part and parcel of liberal education was the primary business of higher education. He said education had to be all about learning the truth, and truth meant facts and their relationships. Challenging the Christian colleges, he said it was not merely an instrument responsive to popular pressures, but must be willing to stand up as a judge of society’s tastes and actions. He said courage, with temperance was always needed to hold the college to its role and mission. He challenged the Alder College community to remain ever vigilant in maintaining discipline in spiritual, academic, and social endeavors. Director department of higher education, Kuho-

li Chishi in her brief address said everybody had a place to work provided they have quality. Programme was chaired by Dr. Akala Longkumer asst. professor, welcome address by Dr. Rukhono Iralu principal, invocation prayer by Rev. Dr. Rachiilie Vihienuo pastor Union Baptist Church while jubilee choir presented special song. College history was shared by Z h a p u v i L i e g i s e, speech on behalf of former principals by Dr. P.S. Lorin principal Tetso college, Keyiyachii Liegise college chairman also addressed the gathering, reminiscence by president Alder College Alumni Association James Yalie and a tribute to Alder college read by Senti Kath. Drama on happy prince was presented by students, jubilee cake cutting and prayer done by Nyielo Liegise while vote of thanks was proposed by Vilasielie Mepfhiio vice principal. Earlier, the chief guest unveiled the jubilee monolith and also released the college souvenir. Programme was attended by principals of various colleges of Kohima, representatives from Nagaland university, alumni members, well wishers, students and others.

PLHIV’s resentment on CD4 machine breakdown DIMAPUR: HIV positive community of Dimapur had voiced out their resentment against constant breakdown of CD4 machine at the centre by holding a protest outside ART centre, Dimapur Hospital on November 20. A press release by HIV positive community of Dimapur, stated that during the first week of November, NSACS were made aware of the problem with machine but even after a lapse of more than two weeks, the machine has remained dysfunctional. It stated that more than 3000 people on ARVs had to discontinue ARV treatment. The machine is used as a baseline pre ARV treatment and post ARV initiation as an indicator to determine the treatment response rate after every six months. During the protest, the group held protest posters and placards which read “we demand new machine”, “treat us as human, we are not less than you”, “ART mediK Y M C

cines must be available anytime”. Dimapur ARTC is an ART plus centre with more than 9000 registered PLHIV. M e a n w h i l e, t h e ARK Foundation president, Ketho Angami has cited utter negligence of NSACS in failing to address this issue. Expressing the concerns faced by the PLHIV community on ART, he stated that earlier happenings of ARV stock outs and no CD 4 test presently would only result in treatment failure due to compelled adherence disr uption and proper monitoring test. The press release stated “it is necessary to seek for your right to health with an equal perspective on your fundamental rights. This has to be made with informed consent, treatment and adherence, and follow up counselling are all necessary while also getting the right kind medicines and test and diagnosis at the right time and intervals”.

busy year in view of the next general elections. Earlier, the election for RJD’s national president used to take place at the interval of every two years. But later, the party’s constitution was amended and the term of its president was extended to three years. Lalu is RJD’s national president ever since its formation in July 1997 when he caused a split in the then Janta Dal to launch a new political party. Lalu Prasad, Raghuvansh Prasad Singh, Kanti Singh along with 17 Lok Sabha MPs and eight Rajya Sabha MPs and other supporters gathered at New Delhi on July 5, 1997 and formed a new political party. Lalu made a resounding comeback on Bihar’s political stage on November 8, 2015 when his party won 80 of 101 assembly seats it contested, leading to formation of Nitish Kumar-led grand alliance government in Bihar. But on July 26 this year, Nitish dumped the RJD and retuned back to NDA after forming a new government with support of the BJP. Thus, the RJD despite being the single largest party, was compelled to sit on the opposition benches in the assembly.

NEW DELHI, Nov 21 (AGENCIES): The Central government is mulling over introducing a Bill to end triple talaq in the winter session of Parliament. This comes in the backdrop of the Supreme Court judgment of August 22 that set aside the practice of talaq-e-biddat among Muslim husbands. A ministerial committee has been constituted to frame a law. It is learnt that in order to give effect to the Supreme Court order, the government is considering to bring about a legislation or amendments to existing penal provisions which shall make instantaneous triple talaq an offence. According to sources, the government’s justification for the need for a legislation also stems from the fact that there have been reports of number of divorces by way of talaqe-biddat even after the Supreme Court judgment. In a recent incident of talaq-e-biddat, it has been reported that a person in a leading education institution divorced his wife through WhatsApp and short message service and

PATNA, Nov 21 (AGENCIES): Former Bihar chief minister and former railway minister Lalu Prasad (69) was on Tuesday formally elected as RJD’s national president for the 10th consecutive term. He was elected unopposed. RJD’s national election officer Jagdanand Singh gave him the certificate of election at the party’s national council meeting, held at the SK Memorial hall here, amidst thunderous applause from the party workers. Around 650 delegates from 24 states including neighbouring Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal attended the party’s national council meet. Lalu’s re-election for another three year term (2017-20) became almost clear on November 12, the last date of filing nomination, when no one else turned up before the national election officer to file nomination against his candidature. Earlier on January 17, 2016, Lalu was elected the RJD president for consecutive ninth term for a period of three year (2016-19). His term was to expire on January 16, 2019. But the party’s decided to hold mid-term poll for its president on the plea that 2019 would be a

Beyond Hornbill Festival

ince 2000 the state government has been holding the annual Hornbill Festival with the objective of preserving Naga culture and promoting cultural tourism and of course, expecting some economic benefits for local enterprises. The festival, coinciding with the statehood day is relevant in the context of the reassertion of heterogeneous groups towards the Naga homogeneity. Any idea or endeavour undergoes certain metamorphosis and that is the essence of progress. In this regard, the state government has been footing the bills to keep itself, the people, domestic and perhaps ‘foreign’ tourists entertained. Notwithstanding the physical and mental fatigue on those involved with having to deal with a mega-festival, the essence of promotion of tourism needs serious consideration. Several years back, this newspaper had commented in this columns that it was time to ‘privatise’ enterprise in Nagaland as the government cannot and should not patronize business at its cost. The government should stick to infrastructure development to provide good and wide roads besides efficient network of transportation services including bringing much improvement in the telecommunications services. Tourism is about people to people and not government to people even though there are departments supposed to deal with the administrative and other aspects. Trade, travel and tourism are channels of free enterprise that people use and pay for services rendered. The other is to impress upon the importance of ‘responsible tourism’ whose goal is to create “better places for people to live in and better places for people to visit.” This newspaper had also aired its opinion over ten years back, that Hornbill Festival should also be distributed to other districts on rotation basis in order to create a sense of belonging. Presently, the permanent venue is Kisama, some 12 kms from Kohima. The newspaper suggested that while the grand inaugural programme, rock music, beauty pageant, literature fair, World War II vintage car rally can be held in Kohima, other items such as cultural dances, food and water and adventure sports could be held in Dimapur. On top of the regular traffic jam, Kohima during Hornbill Festival experiences its worst period where it can take even three hours to travel from one end of the town to the other. The state government needs to focus on this aspect, in order to promote a widely distributed and longer duration for tourism during the dry winter months. Sikkim attracts those interested in the state’s scenic landscapes and its famed floriculture industry. Sikkim is a good example where eco-tourism has grown into a thriving industry due to government intervention along with awareness spread through tourism-oriented NGOs. There are states which attract tourists with their agro produce such as the wines of Shillong, oranges of Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh. It may also be pointed out that Hornbill Festival has metamorphosed over the years and in keeping with the trend, it is also becoming a favourite destination for rock music contest. Too many ideas running riot over heads of bureaucrats to promote the entertainment culture, which comes with a price tag for the government. If the government is serious about tourism, it has to think outside the Hornbill Festival box in order to truly showcase the varied food and culture of the Naga tribes.

DailyDevotion “It is Finished!” I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. —John 17:4 The death of Jesus Christ is the fulfillment in history of the very mind and intent of God. There is no place for seeing Jesus Christ as a martyr. His death was not something that happened to Him— something that might have been prevented. His death was the very reason He came. Never build your case for forgiveness on the idea that God is our Father and He will forgive us because He loves us. That contradicts the revealed truth of God in Jesus Christ. It makes the Cross unnecessary, and the redemption “much ado about nothing.” God forgives sin only because of the death of Christ. God could forgive people in no other way than by the death of His Son, and Jesus is exalted as Savior because of His death. “We see Jesus…for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor…” (Hebrews 2:9). The greatest note of triumph ever sounded in the ears of a startled universe was that sounded on the Cross of Christ— “It is finished!” (John 19:30). That is the final word in the redemption of humankind. Anything that lessens or completely obliterates the holiness of God, through a false view of His love, contradicts the truth of God as revealed by Jesus Christ. Never allow yourself to believe that Jesus Christ stands with us, and against God, out of pity and compassion, or that He became a curse for us out of sympathy for us. Jesus Christ became a curse for us by divine decree. Our part in realizing the tremendous meaning of His curse is the conviction of sin. Conviction is given to us as a gift of shame and repentance; it is the great mercy of God. Jesus Christ hates the sin in people, and Calvary is the measure of His hatred.

he press has been able to consolidate its freedom after several struggles. And today it is generally free from the government pressure. There are still other forces which do not allow it to be completely free. Yet among all the democracies in the world, the Indian press is considered independent. The electronic media is to a large extent at the mercy of estate owners who earn money through property dealings and spend it on maintaining a channel or two. This cannot be, however, said about the print media with certainty. When it comes to films, the pressure of government is relentless and visible. Every film has to have censor’s certificate. When the freedom of expression has been guaranteed by the Constitution, it has been for all for all modes and the methods. The requisite of censor’s certificate curbs freedom.

The press needs no discipline Why the film makers have never made it an issue is beyond me. It is still not too late to do so. Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film can be the rallying point. Film director Bhansali, has preferred to face the consequences. He was attacked in Rajasthan where he was shooting the film. Yet he has stuck to guns. The radical Hindus in Rajasthan, who have organized themselves into the krini brigade, have broken furniture and put it to fire in one of the cinema halls in a Rajasthan town. Most of the liberal voices are conspicuous by their silence. Bhansali must be feeling lonely. Whether the film Padmawati which he has directed is based on fiction or fact is not the point at issue. It is Bhansali’s determination to screen it. He gets full marks for his resoluteness. Not many film directors will emulate his example because of the huge money at stake. The

Yadav and his family, not a good choice. For some reasons, successive governments at the centre have rejected the demand for a press or media commission. Since independence there have been only two commissions. One was soon after the independence and the other following the emergency in 1977. The recommendations of the latter were not even considered because by the time the report was ready Mrs Gandhi was back in power and refused to look at any step suggested during the post-emergency period. She had returned to power and dealt with her critics with a vengeance. The most important aspect is the ownership of newspapers, television and radio by the same house or individuals. Even America has some kind of control over cross ownership. But there is no such bar in India where it is like putting up yet another factory.

True, the media has come a long way. Still current annual report of the Press Council of India is helplessly demanding the television channels to come under its purview. The rulers continue to turn a deaf ear to what is asked. The Council says: “For quite some time an issue has arisen about the need for qualification for entry into the profession of journalism. Since the media is a fully developed field and has some influence on the lives of the people, the time has now come when some qualification should be prescribed by law.” I do not agree that there should be any remote control. I would have rather an undisciplined press in a democratic set up than a disciplined press in an orderly society. The polity runs by the elected representative may look like a rule by mob. It is any time preferable to a disciplined autocratic rule.

The Naga saga (part I)

(From previous issue) This will not conceive along or make any entailing progressive landmarks, except furnishing a few designs in the first phase, and then succumbing to corruption and regression for the entire generations to suffer – the remnants of Dimapur and Kohima could be a good example of this. An inundation of rhetoric to our eastern would be to have faith in collective growth and Nagaland to reassure and redress the unification of Naga to our other brothers. The apparition outlook of Nagas outside Nagaland: Nagas of Assam, Arunachal and the Burma etc. are often sidelined whenever there is the talk for Naga politics, for the simplest reason that even the mainland Nagas of Nagaland are ourselves not equipped with the capacity to put our foot solid on the ground to sustain and achieve political stability wherein lies our salvation from the wretched console of corruption that has fractured our aspiration for development and progress. Although we are aware of the fact that our brothers in other territories are deprived much of their rights; the worst of those in Burma, where it has been reported that the Nagas there hardly get to have rice as meal and are forced upon other alternative source for nourishment—there is the heed for cognizance upon the powers that be, who bathe in luxury, when our own people elsewhere are deprived of basic

facilities to live a “Life”. The public are but mere spectators of our political activities and for that we are sorry—to our brothers who have to undergo through strain and toil to let a day pass. It is with faith the Nagas of Nagaland are marching forward taking baby steps, initially, but should we get to a platform when the will of people prevail, for now the poor and immobile people of Nagaland expresses these empty and fluid words unto our brothers that we are with you in our heart and mind. We all suffer from the tyranny of bad governance and are but all slaves, destined to break free and only but proceed in sync with time where our journey inevitably landmarks our cohesion unstained by frailty and animosity in our way of life, we today all bear. We appeal to all our Naga brothers to have faith in Naga. Central surgical strikes: Since the proclamation of sovereign Nagaland by NNC in 14th of August 1947, the Nagas have witnessed numerous surgical strikes from New Delhi to crush Naga national workers on the pretext of counter insurgency. The first wave of massive scale of interception with the Naga national workers was enforced in 1956; after which subsequently the peace mission of Jai Prakash Narayan, B P Chaliha and Rev. Michael Scott to Nagaland endorsed the signing of agreement for suspension of operation with the

insurgents. After many accounts of inter-factional and clashes with the Indian Army with allegations of inhumane animosity, genocide, intent annihilation etc. we witnessed another round of ceasefire with the NSCN (IM) in 1997 and the NSCN (K) in 2001. And today, as the people embark to cohesively conclude the vexed Naga issue, and with the coming forward of the six NNPGs under the umbrella of WC, and although the ceasefire between the Centre and the NSCN (K) discontinued in April 2015, it is unprofessional on the part of the Centre to launch consistent surgical strikes on the NSCN (K) in the pretext of counter insurgency – when the whole of Nagas and the Indians are hopeful for a tranquil and amicable discourse of conclusion, that would entail a friendly and healthy relationship with India. In the encounter of NSCN (K) and the Indian Army on 30th Sept. an officer on ground said the insurgents suffered about 30 casualties. It was initially reported to be a surgical strike involving a swift breach of International Border (IB) by the Indian soldiers, but later was denied by the Army’s Eastern Command. The Union Home minister also said in 2016 that there was no plan to renew the ceasefire with the NSCN (K). (Concluded) Liberal Democratic People of Nagaland

Improve BSNL service

On behalf of the consumer BSNL, Niroyo wokha would like to bring to your kind notice in respect of BSNL poor service that the BSNL tower which erected second to North east at Niroyo village remain as a statue, the network most of the time remains down, when other locations like, Wokha, Zunheboto and Mao gate etc, enjoy in full swing. The reason is unknown how it so happened, where as the service suppose to be more far better than any other BSNL location. Very heartening to see when it rains, cloudy and wind blows the network goes along, and most of the time the BSNL consumer left with lurch. It is a sole responsibility of the company to maintain tip top service for its customers. I urge the concern department to rectify and if need be. a well trained qualified operator be appointed and improve the service at the earliest. R. Yanthan Niroyo village

Sir,

Redress grievances of students

The dictionary meaning of the word ‘Scholarship’ is financial aid provided to a student on the basis of academic merit. The year 2017 is coming to an End and the undergraduate students are done with Semester exams. The students are now seeking admission to the next semester which would cost not less than thousands. Not every student comes from well to do family whose parents could afford to give them all the financial needs. Most of the students are relying on the little amount that they get on yearly basis which is known as Scholarships. Majority of the students did not get any amount while those who have received were on the basis of instalment. The present students are the future of Nagaland but is this how the State Government is building the future by depriving the students of financial aid that comes from the Centre ? Is this the way to mould the future of Nagas by cutting off the scholarship money that falls like a drop of water once in a year ? You were also once a student, you should be understanding what the students feel at this moment of time. It is a humble plea to the Government and the responsible Department to look into the matter and redress the grievances of the students. Sepo Yimjong Chang, Chumukedima the columns do not reflect the view of this newspaper nor that of the Editor in any manner.

Gujarat polls phase one; BJP, Cong play caste cards list of nominations for 89 seats saw Congress giving tickets to 33 candidates and BJP to 26. The ruling party BJP, however, stayed away from allotting tickets to any Muslim candidates, while Congress’ list saw four candidates, one each from Bhuj, Wankaner, Vagra and Surat West constituencies. Further, as against eight candidates in the general category for Congress, BJP fielded 15 in the same. As for scheduled castes (SC) and scheduled tribes (ST), there are 7 and 14 reserved seats, respectively. Meanwhile, political analysts feel that despite fielding more Patidars than Congress, BJP may find it tough this time given the aggressive placing of candidates by the former. For instance, the party has pitched its senior leader Arjun Modhwadia against BJP minister Babu Bokhiriya for the Porbandar seat and Congress heavyweight Indranil Rajguru against chief minister Vijay Rupani for Rajkot West seat.

When asked as to whom/which organization was he referring to, Imchen said he was “generally speaking”.

DIMAPUR: Tamlu Town Public Organisation (TTPO) has strongly objected the decision of the government to go for fresh diversion on the execution of twolane SARDP-NE road (two and half kilometre) within Tamlu headquarter as it was against the interest of the general public. In a statement TTPO president L. Shaupen Phom alleged that the September 28, 2017 decision of the government to go for fresh diversion was done by “vested interest of road and bridges department of Mon division in connivance with the Longleng road and bridges division” without the consent of the Tamlu town. The organization also alleged that they were kept aside while carrying out survey at Tamlu portion in 2010-11. TTPO demand was that construction should be carried on existing road as per the survey conducted on September 20 and 21, 2016. It was for this reason, TTPO has also issued no objection certificate solely for the execution of two-lane construction at the existing original road in Tamlu headquarter junction between Kanching village and Tamlu village, the organization added.

Imchen further went on to state that it was not easy for any individual to get elected in Nagaland, saying election in Nagaland was a costly affair. According to Imchen if there was any kind of competition for successfully staging protests and agitations, Nagaland state would come out as the “undisputed champion, as all agitations in Nagaland were successful.” He said “even officers who take part in protest are very effective in talking, whereas they will not sit in office.” With regard to unemployment issue, Imchen said the state government did not enter into any agreement that all the educated persons would be employed in the government sector. He however said the state government should try to accommodate the unemployed persons as far as possible.

Ahmedabad, Nov 21 (AGENCIES): On the last date of filing nominations on Tuesday for upcoming polls in Gujarat, both Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress heavily played the caste card for their respective first phase list. Relenting to the rigorous negotiations with the Patidar community, led by Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS), Congress finally ended up fielding 22 candidates from the community, while BJP gave tickets to 27 Patidar candidates. The two-phased polls in Gujarat will be held for 89 seats in the SaurashtraKutch and South Gujarat regions on December 9 and 93 seats in Central and North Gujarat regions on 14, respectively. Counting for Gujarat polls will be held on December 18, along with Himachal Pradesh. Having locked horns in a late night drama over ticket allocation with the young PAAS leader Hardik Patel, Congress relented by replacing four of its candidates with PAAS nominees late Monday. However, that did not appease Hardik Patel enough to announce any support to the party. BJP’s list, however, saw several protests and resignations from within the party for fielding ‘unpopular’ faces and ignoring some of the sitting legislators. As for the Other Backward Class (OBC) community, the first

In this regard, the association urged the Governor as head of State to immediately take up the issue with the Government of India for withdrawal of the NIA investigation against Nagaland government employees and dropping of all ongoing investigations by NIA unconditionally, “considering the peculiar and sensitive political situation in the state”. CANSSEA war ned that in the event no remedial action was taken by the State government, it will be compelled to “take recourse to action fit to protect the interest of our employees”. Meanwhile, a statement from the Governor’s office stated that during the meeting with CANSSEA officials and members, the Governor, P.B. Acharya emphasized on finding a permanent solution to solve the problem of taxation imposed on government departments and its agencies. With the peace process moving in the right direction, Acharya said Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has the political will to solve the Naga political problem. Acharya was optimistic that settlement would be reached at the earliest.

Expressing his ardent desire that the Summit would help evolve strategies for rapid economic growth while creating employment opportunities for the youth, Zeliang said that while finalising the new industrial policy in lieu of New North East Industrial and Investment Promotion Policy (which expired on March 31, 2017), it was important to address the intra regional imbalances to ensure that proportionate benefits reach all the States. Extending Sangai greetings on behalf of the people of Nagaland, Zeliang also invited all delegates present at the Development Summit to visit Nagaland for the Hornbill Festival.

Truecaller does not read the actual content,” the company added. When it comes to Delhi, the top five banks are the same but their percentages are quite different: “The SBI sees a large drop in its volume in Delhi (23 per cent), followed by HDFC (17 per cent), ICICI (15 per cent), ING Vysya (11 per cent) and Axis Bank (9 per cent),” the report claimed.

if the present state of affairs continued, no officer would be spared by NIA and said the arrest of seven officers was only a “prelude to the onslaught to follow”. Asserting that the State government could not and must not turn a blind eye to what was happening, CANSSSEA reminded the government of being duty bound to protect its employees “who had acted in the interest of the department and for the protection of their lives”. CANSSEA also demanded that the government provide personal bodyguards and house guards to all heads of departments (HoDs) and drawing & disbursing officers (DDOs) across the State. The HoDs and DDOs never patronised NNPGs, it clarified. CANSSEA also contended that the ongoing peace process towards finding an amicable solution to the decades-old Naga political problem was at a crucial stage and any disturbance at this crucial juncture could jeopardise the fabric of a peaceful settlement between the Government of India and NNPGs. “On the other hand, the aggressive actions of the NIA reflects a different intention of the government which instead of finding solution is aggravating the problem, leaving the state government officials between

directors, the government will decide if it will initiate criminal action under the Companies Act, something that has not been done in the past. As reported first by TOI on October 23, the ministry is looking at the possibility of invoking provisions of section 447 of the new Companies Act, which relate to fraud, citing public interest. The law provides for imprisonment of three to 10 years in case of fraud and can come with a penalty that is equal to the value of the offence. A “fraud” has been defined to include acts of omission and concealment. MCA has already asked companies to share details of deposits of old currency notes during the demonetisation period. That exercise is in addition to the focus on over 2.24 lakh companies that have been de-registered for not filing the requisite returns under the Companies Act for three years. While over three lakh directors have also been barred from taking up board positions,

(From p-1) The memorandum signed by CANSSEA president Dr Zase Chusi and general secretary Tarachu Fithu stated that though NIA was investigating taxation imposed on government departments by NNPGs, the agency conducted raids and arrested officials in the State. It said seven officials have been arrested and subjected to interrogation by NIA , which had labelled them as terrorists. CANSSEA said the State was well aware of the taxation imposed by NNPGs, had been going on since the beginning of Naga freedom movement and all government officials were “victims, held to ransom at gunpoint”. “The undisputed reality is that payments of tax to the NNPGs are made not voluntarily or willingly but under duress and fear of life and limb. The state government is the living witness to the fact of the many instances where life has been taken because of resistance to such taxation and demands,” the memorandum stated.

Justice Bhandari re-elected to ICJ

U N I T E D NAT I O N S, NOV 21 (IANS): In a major diplomatic victory for India, Justice Dalveer Bhandari has been re-elected to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) after the General Assembly rallied behind him in a show of strength that made Britain bow to the majority and withdraw its candidate Christopher Greenwood. “I am grateful to all the nations who have supported me,” Bhandari told IANS in the Assembly chamber after the election on Monday. “It was a big election as you know.” Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday congratulated Bhandari “on being re-elected to the International Court of Justice. His re-election is a proud moment for us”. Modi also congratulated External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and her department’s “untiring efforts” for India’s win. Following Bhandari’s election, Sushma Swaraj tweeted: “Vande Mataram - India wins election.” She added: “Huge efforts by Team MEA.” She specifically complimented India’s Permanent Representative in the UN, Syed Akbaruddin. Bhandari will start his term from February 2018. The withdrawal of its candidate by Britain, which had the backing of its fellow permanent mem-

bers, was a setback for the Security Council that had been locked in a test of wills with the Assembly. A candidate has to win a majority in both the

chambers. Bhandari won majorities in the Assembly in the first 11 rounds of voting over two meetings while the Council blocked his election by giving majorities to Greenwood in the 10 rounds of balloting it held. Bhandari’s election was a dramatic face-saving turn of fortunes for India as he lost the Asian seat on the ICJ to Lebanese lawyer-turned-diplomat Nawaf Salam, who had been campaigning for two years and had the backing of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation with 55 UN members. Bhandari got a second

chance only because an unpopular Britain could not get an Assembly majority for a remaining judgeship requiring a runoff where the two chambers of the UN split in their voting. In the last round of voting on November 13, Bhandari received 121 votes, just short of a twothirds majority in the 193member Assembly, while Greenwood received nine in the Council. “The precedent is clear,” India’s Permanent Representative Akbaruddin said at a reception for Bhandari attended by representatives of over 160 countries on Thursday.

with similar legal systems in the running. The whole process has been very cordial and it will not impact the bilateral relationship in any way,” he said. Just minutes after an 11th round of voting was scheduled to begin in New York on Monday, a letter was released by the UK mission to the UN announcing that Sir Christopher Greenwood would accept defeat and allow his Indian rival to fill the vacancy in the UN’s principal legal body based in The Hague. The UK media has branded the “acrimonious” vote as a sign of Britain’s eroding stature on the world stage.

Moscow, Nov 21 (IANS): Military operations against terrorists in Syria are coming to an end, with the focus shifting to a search for a political solution, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said as he hosted his Syrian counterpart Bashar alAssad in Sochi. Putin met Assad on Monday ahead of a trilateral summit with the leaders of Turkey and Iran aimed at re-booting the peace process in the conflict-torn country. During the meeting, Putin was full of praise for the Syrian President and his work fighting the Islamic State. “Syria is striving in the fight against terrorist(s) ... The Syrian people are going through very difficult trials and are gradually approaching the final, unavoidable rout of terrorists,” Putin said, according to Russian news agency Sputnik. “We still have a long way to go before we achieve a complete victory over

terrorists. But as far as our joint work in fighting terrorism on the territory of Syria is concerned, this military operation is indeed wrapping up,” Putin said. In the four-hour Assad-Putin talks, the Kremlin reported that Assad assented to the proposal for a Syrian national dialogue conference, likely to be held in December. Putin hailed Assad’s apparent readiness to cooperate with all parties seeking a peaceful settlement of the Syrian crisis. “I think that now the most important thing, of course, is to move on the political questions, and I note with satisfaction your readiness to work with all those who want peace and a solution (to the conflict).” The Kremlin statement quoted Putin as saying he would be phoning US President Donald Trump on Tuesday, along with leaders of other countries involved in the Syrian conflict.

Trump declares N Korea ‘sponsor of terror’ L ondon , N ov 2 1 (Agencies): President Trump has announced that the US is re-designating North Korea a state sponsor of terrorism, nine years after it was removed from the list. In a cabinet meeting, he said the move would trigger “very large” additional sanctions to be announced on Tuesday, report BBC. But Secretary of State Rex Tillerson later admitted that “the practical effects may be limited”. Mr Tr ump blamed the country’s nuclear programme, and support for what he called international acts of terrorism. While announcing the decision at the White House, the US president said it “should have happened a long time ago”. In September, the US proposed a range of United Nations sanctions against North Korea, including an oil ban and a freeze on leader Kim Jong-un’s assets. It followed the North’s sixth nuclear test and repeated missile launches.

North Korea joins Iran, Sudan and Syria on a list of countries that are deemed to have repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism. The country has been on the list before but was removed in 2008 by the administration of George W Bush as part of negotiations on the North’s nuclear programme. The campaign to reinstate it intensified after the American college student Otto Warmbier died shortly after he was released from North Korean custody.

Secretar y Tillerson hasn’t given up on a negotiated solution to the standoff with North Korea. He told journalists he still hoped for diplomacy. But the decision to put Pyongyang back on the list of state sponsors of terrorism will almost certainly set back the possibility of any opening for talks, at least in the short term. The chances of that happening were slim anyway. And it might prompt a backlash from North Korea, perhaps by way of another missile test.

news agency that it appeared the bomber was part of the congregation. No-one has said they were behind the bombing but the Islamist militants Boko Haram typically target crowded places in northern Nigeria. Some 20,000 people have been

killed in Boko Haram’s eightyear insurgency. The BBC’s Ishaq Khalid reports that Boko Haram militants have recently stepped up suicide bombings in Nigeria’s northeast after the military recaptured territories previously controlled by the group.

H A R A R E , N ov 2 1 (Agencies): Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe has resigned, parliament speaker Jacob Mudenda has said. A letter from Mr Mugabe said that the decision was voluntary and that he had made it to allow a smooth transition of power. The surprise announcement halted an impeachment hearing that had begun against him. Lawmakers roared in jubilation and people have begun celebrating in the streets. Mr Mugabe had previously refused to resign despite last week’s military takeover and days of protests. The letter did not mention who would take over from Mr Mugabe. The constitution says it should be the current vice-president, Phelekezela Mphoko, a supporter of Grace Mugabe, Mr Mugabe’s wife. Mr Mudenda said moves were under way to ensure a new leader could take over by late on Wednesday. UK Prime Minister Theresa May said Mr Mugabe’s resignation “provides Zimbabwe with an opportunity to forge a new path free of the oppression that characterised his rule”. She said that Britain, “as Zimbabwe’s oldest friend”, will do all it can to support free and fair elections and the rebuilding of the Zimbabwean economy.

Nay Pyi Taw, Nov 21 (IANS): Amnesty International (AI) accused Myanmar of imposing a system of apartheid on the Rohingya Muslim minority, saying that an institutionalised system of discrimination constitutes a crime against humanity. The human rights group released a report after a two-year investigation of the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar’s Rakhine state, reports Efe news. AI said the Rohingya were “trapped in a vicious system of state-sponsored, institutionalised discrimination” that “severely restricts virtually all aspects of Rohingyas’ lives”, including confining them to a “ghettolike existence”. “The Myanmar authorities are keeping Rohingya women, men and children segregated and cowed in a dehumanising system of apartheid,” Anna Neistat, AI’s Senior Director for Research, said. AI noted that the repression against the Rohingyas has intensified “dramatically” since 2012 when the sectarian conflict between the Buddhist and Rohingya communities broke out in Rakhine. The state-sponsored discriminatory measures involve “an intricate web of national laws” that restrict Rohingyas rights to freedom of movement, hinder their access to employment, healthcare or education, and deny them citizenship and necessary identification documents.

“The UK will not have a judge on the bench of the International Court of Justice for the first time in its 71- year history,” reports the Guardian in dismay. “The decision to bow to mounting opposition within the UN General Assembly is a humiliating blow to British international prestige and an acceptance of a diminished status in international affairs,” it notes. Political observers believe the UK had no choice but to back off as it cannot be seen to continue to use its position in the UN Security Council to muscle its way in on important global affairs.

Brighton fight back to hold Stoke City

Jose Izquierdo is mobbed by his Brighton team-mates after he scored the second goal.

BRIGHTON, Nov 21 (Agencies): Jose Izquierdo earned Brighton and Hove Albion a point as Chris Hughton’s side twice came from behind to record a 2-2 draw against visitors Stoke City on Monday. Stoke twice went ahead at the Amex Stadium, first through Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and then Kurt Zouma, but Brighton hit back on each occasion via goals from Pascal Gross and Izquierdo. Brighton - promoted from the Championship last season - remain ninth, seven points above

the relegation zone and three points above Mark Hughes’s Stoke, who stay in 15th. “When you have been behind twice you have to show character and we did,” Hughton told Sky Sports. “We have to be realistic. We are playing against better teams and better players and if you can’t win games then don’t lose them.” The outcome of a lively game on the English south coast means Brighton have gone five consecutive matches unbeaten in the top flight for the first time since March

to April 1983. There were opportunities at both ends in the early stages, but Brighton seemed to be getting the upper hand when Stoke drew first blood in the 28th minute. Xherdan Shaqiri’s fine, raking pass from the halfway line fell perfectly into the path of ChoupoMoting, who expertly plucked the ball from the sky before planting a shot past Mat Ryan. The home fans - and players - were enraged when Glenn Murray appeared to be felled inside the box by Stoke captain Ryan Shawcross, only

for referee Lee Mason to award a goal-kick. Anger turned to celebration in the 44th minute when Brighton midfielder Davy Proepper’s twinkletoed run took him into space on the right and his low cross was driven past Lee Grant by Gross. But within two minutes the visitors had restored their lead, a corner striking Brighton captain Bruno on the back and Zouma throwing himself at the loose ball to head in his first Stoke goal. Brighton goalkeeper Ryan kept his side in touch by blocking from Ramadan Sobhi early in the second half and on the hour the hosts drew level again. After Zouma had failed to cut out a high ball, Izquierdo’s attempted cross from the left came back to him and the Colombia winger lashed the ball past Grant. Shaqiri lashed narrowly wide from outside the box, but despite the introduction of Peter Crouch - who made a Premier League record 143rd substitute appearance - Stoke could not get their noses back in front. “ B r i g h t o n d i d n’ t create much, so we are disappointed with their goals,” said Stoke manager Hughes. “It’s an away point and you have to be happy with that.”

Later in the evening, Nitu too joined her illustrious colleagues in the next round, beating Bulgaria’s Emi-Mari Todorova. Italy’s Nicoli Rebecca also made an impression, staging the first shock of the day and upsetting European champion Heijnen Chelsey in the Light-welterweight category. Haryana’s dynamo Jyoti and local girl Ankushita were a revelation as they displayed their skill and class against tough opponents. Shashi trod cautiously in the opening round, gauging her opponent Lin Li Wei-Yi’s strengths and weaknesses. But once she figured her out, she made it seem like another workout in the gym. She eased into her rhythm, shuffling in the centre of the ring and pummelling her opponent at will. She threw straight punches in ones and twos, cleanly striking her target on the jaw, head and midriff. She picked up points in style to the delight of her fans. The boxer to impress, however, was local girl Ankushita. She was clearly

the most accomplished and stylish boxer of the session. Such was her class that her opponent, Cagla Aluc of Turkey will remember her demolition for a long time in the welterweight category. The Boro girl demonstrated not just strength and power but footwork and fists of fury too. It was sweet revenge for her as well as Cagla the European champion, had beaten Ankushita in the Ahmet Comert International Boxing tournament in her own country in Istanbul, Turkey last month. High-performance director Rafaele Bergamasco changed Shashi’s strategy for this rematch after the setback in Turkey. It paid dividends as Cagla just did not know what hit her, right from the moment she stepped into the roped square till the bell went off for the first time. Jyoti too boxed with convic-

tion, using the straight jab, left hook and throwing her right punch straight from the shoulder to rattle her strong and aggressive Ukraine opponent. USA’s popular flyweight boxer Garcia Heaven Destiny probably never expected that her opponent Kim would make hell for her. The Korean came out with loads of aggression and staccato punches to surprise her. Fortunately, Heaven steadied herself by the second and consolidated her position in the final round to come out unscathed. Even though she pulled through, the victory lacked conviction. “I will do better in my next bout. Things did not go the way I planned it out,” said the American girl later. Over 150 boxers from 38 countries are competing in the event, being held in India for the first time.
