Dec 4 meeting: CNTC censures NLA speaker D I M A P U R , N OV 2 5 (NPN): Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) has questioned the NLA speaker, Dr. Imtiwapang Aier, for deliberately ignoring the CNTC, an apex platform of three tribes-- Aos, Lothas and Sumis, while inviting others for the December 4 consultative meeting on Naga political issue.

Making it known that it was not desperate to attend the meeting, CNTC reminded the speaker that the council had been vigorously and tirelessly putting its maximum efforts in trying to bring all NPGs to the negotiating table. CNTC has therefore directed all its units not to attend the programme.

“It was an intentional step to sideline the sacrifice of organizations like Nagaland Tribes Council and CNTC, who are trying to unite all NPGs, stressing on inclusiveness of all groups

for a solution acceptable to all section of the Nagas,” CNTC stated. It further questioned the speaker that if some apex platform of other conglomerations could be invited, together with all their tribal units, why should the CNTC as an apex platform of three tribes be snubbed or ignored intentionally?

The council said such move was “a direct insult and a deliberate motive of divisive policy of some elected representatives.” It said such politics did not augur well for a healthy and positive outcome for the already fragmented society.

CNTC said “some groups” that have been invited for the meeting were always in the “government’s favourite list” and “mouthpieces of some particular group.” Such favouritism and biasness has only distanced them from the common people, it added.

CNTC also reminded

all concerned that “the Naga Hoho no longer represents the entire tribes of Nagaland as the tribes under ENPO and CNTC have already disassociated from it.” Any responsible elected representative should be aware of all these, it added.

Corrigendum by Speaker’s office

Apropos the news item-- ‘Consultative meeting on Naga political issue’ published on November 25, the NLA Speaker, Dr. Imtiwapang Aier, through its OSD, has expressed regret that it had inadvertently missed out on inviting Naga Tribes Council, Central Nagaland Tribes Council, Western Sumi Hoho and Nagaland GB Federation for the consultative meeting to be held on December 4. In this regard, the speaker’s office has invited three members each from the four organizations to attend the meeting.

Zeliang said that the guest house will act not only as a safe haven for visitors from the State but would go a long way in serving the manifold purposes for the people of Nagaland.

“It represents the State as would an Embassy to a foreign mission and is truly a multipurpose premise representing a mini Nagaland,” he said.

While lauding the efforts of all the people involved in the successful completion of the State Guest House, the chief minister called for concerted effort in making the place “an attractive, respectable and a homely abode.”

Terming the newly constructed Guest House a ‘Home away from Home’, which would also act as a nerve center for social and cultural activities of the people of Nagaland, Zeliang called upon officials and staff of the Guest House to be conscious of their responsibilities and ensure sound and proper management.

KOHIMA, NOV 25 (NPN): Nagaland State Commission for Women (NSCW) launched 16 days of activism against gender based violence under the theme “Together We Can End Gender Based Violence In Education” at its NSCW office, Kohima, on Saturday.

Addressing the launching programme, NSCW chairperson, Dr. Temsula Ao said Gender Based Violence (GBV) in education is universally considered a human rights violation, and GBV must be eradicated, not only in institutions of learning but from the society as well.

lic institutions, the UNO, organizers of this event, had emphasized the focus on education for the year 2017.

Dr. Temsula said GBV was not necessarily physical; it may comprise of verbal abuse through derogatory remarks about physical features, family status and even performance in studies and said such abuse and overt sexual innuendos hurt the victim’s reputation.

The chairperson said many perpetrators have

taken the resources of the numerous portals of social media to harass and abuse their targets in this manner and this has become an alarming aspect of GVB. She appealed to the tribal women hohos to create awareness about safeguarding the human rights of all by using the principle of social behaviors as a tool to “end GBV in education”.

The chairperson maintained that this will not be an easy task as the patriar-

chal attitude of the men-folk towards women had not changed much. However, she said it was the duty of the women to make the men-folk understand such issues.

She urged the tribal women hohos to ensure the success of the “16 days of activism” by displaying the banners, posters in strategic places of their headquarters and sub-division, and by distributing the pamphlets.

She also emphasized that the campaign does not end on December 10, but should continue till Nagaland can come out and say that it has eradicated GBV in education.

Dr. Temsula also released the book “Baseline Survey on Social, economic and political empowerment of women in Nagaland”.

NSCW also distributed pamphlets and banners to all the district representatives.

Correspondent KO H I M A , N OV 2 5 (NPN): Minister for school education and parliamentary affairs, Tokheho Yepthomi, has asserted the need for acquiring holistic education, saying the present Naga society requires an education system that empowers an individual with holistic education.

Speaking at the 25 years celebration of Mount Olive College Kohima on Saturday, Tokheho said the society today needs education that “empow-

English communication skills textbook released

DIMAPUR: A textbook on “CEC English Communication Skills” was released on November 24 at C-Edge College Dimapur

by Dimapur Government College (DGC), principal, Akok Walling, who is also one of the pioneer members to introduce functional English during the nineties in Nagaland.

Akok while terming the book as “gem” said it was condensed with a lot of contents and need to be decoded.

H e a l s o g ave d e monstrative classroom management covering on topics like eye contact, body language, mannerism, gestures, and facial expression which are vital components when it comes to effective communication.

Head of management department and co-editor of the book, Wapangingla Ao, while emphasising on the background of the book said it was approved as a choice based credit

paper for BA VI semester students by Nagaland University and that CEdge College was the only college in Nagaland to implement it since 2015.

She also stressed on the need for good communication skills and why learning and getting trained on it is a must in today’s competitive world.

Wapangingla also acknowledged the principal of the College, Dr. Chubatola Aier who is also the co-editor of the book, for the opportunity to be a part of the journey on her continuous qualitative contribution towards higher education in Nagaland.

D r. C h u b a t o l a Aier acknowledged and thanked all those who supported and were involved in bringing out the book successfully.

ers the people to have the dignity of labour, respect for others, allowing differences of opinion, have civic sense and above all, know the ways of the Lord Jesus Christ without the need to demonstrate it in a competitive manner.”

The school education minister lamented that academic qualifications have become the bane of Naga society as many have failed to understand the dignity of labour which has resulted in many educated unemployed.

“Today, we have urbanized and are all armed with degrees and qualifications but cannot earn a living. Yes, academic knowledge is very important but it is not an end in itself,” said Tokheho.

Pointing out that it was never too late to take corrective measures, he called upon the Nagas to do away with the scepticism and ridicule, instead, join hands and work together and not get swiped by momentary gratifications.

Citing the examples of Naga ancestors, he

said, “Our ancestors have already shown us that we need not depend on others to make an honest living, let us try and revive that precious value with a sense of belonging.”

Seminar on ‘creative use of media: path to peace’ DCEAPC to distribute ‘clean

DIMAPUR: Three day regional seminar on “creative use of media: path to peace” jointly organised by Clark Communication and Cultural Research Centre (CCCRC) & Clark Centre for Peace Research and Action (CCPRA) at Jongshinokdang Hall, Clark Theological College (CTC) from November 23 concluded with a plenary session on Saturday.

A press release by programme coordinator CCPRA, Imtiwala Imchen stated that, director CCCRC, Dr L. Imsutoshi Jamir, in an introduction to the seminar, said people lives are filled with media technology through which one communicate, work, play and even engage with for making meaning. He said such activities implied the pervasive presence of media as an integral part of everyday life.

Po i n t i n g o u t t h a t information was power and insight could impact on public discourse, Jamir observed media as a double edged sword. He said it could be terrifying

weapon of violence when it propagates messages and images of intolerance, misinformation and disinformation that manipulate public sentiments or could enforce and change the attitudes and perception of the people.

If the media maintained issues of inclusiveness, unity and tolerance, Jamir said it becomes a useful tool in conflict resolution and for peace building.

Professor of social ethics, consultant & research fellow ACTS Academy of Higher Education Bangalore, Dr I. John Mohan Razu, focused on the “Media as a Creative and Critical Tool: From Truth to Peace”.

He provoked the academicians, peace activist, media experts and church leaders by saying that, it becomes more important than ever that media ought to pursue from “truth to peace… peace pre-supposes truth, and without truth, justice and fairness, equity and equality would be buried and this set aside”.

Altogether 12 papers were presented by scholars during the three day regional seminar such as “Community in the Age of Digital Communication: A Theological Reflection”, “Spirituality of Peace Building in the Era of Social Media: A Biblical Reflection”, “Anthropological Approach to Conflict Theory and Its Relation to the Culture of Peace”, “Deconstructing Social Media Messages for Peace Building”, “Viability of Using Folk Media for Peace Building in North East India”, “Re-reading Tribal Orality: A Path to Peace Building”, “Folk Music and Art in Conflict Transformation in North East India”, “Communication Media for Conflict Resolution and Reconciliation and Peace Building”, “Display of Religions in Social Media: Postmodern Reading” and “Naga Journalism and Conflict: Asset or Liability”.

Resource persons of the seminar were: professor of Christian Theology ETC, Dr Yangka-

hao Vashum; professor of Biblical Studies CTC, Dr A. Tali Ao; director Peace Channel Dimapur, Dr C.P. Anto; principal & professor of Political Science YGC, Dr B. Henshet Phom; professor department of English Fazl Ali College Mokokchung, Dr Lanurenla; academic dean & professor of Communication CTC, Dr A. Temjen Jamir; professor of Communication BTC, Dr. Atulu Lohe; research scholar department of Communication FAU Germany, Tinumeren Ozukum; and director CCCRC, Dr L. Imsutoshi Jamir.

The technical sessions were moderated by Renbi Rangthang, Tsuknungrenla, Visakulie Vakha and Boholi; visiting professor, Dr Dennis Oh led the devotions; while the climax of the three day regional seminar was the visual presentation made by the master’s students in Communication Studies at CTC on the topic “Role of Social Media in Social Movements: A Case Study on ULB Uprising”.

CS lauds CIHSR 10 yrs of service in medical sector

Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, NOV 25 (NPN): Nagaland chief secretary, Pankaj Kumar, who is also the president of Christian Institute of Health Sciences and Research (CIHSR) society, has lauded ten years of the exceptional service rendered the institution in the medcial sector.

Speaking as the chief guest at CIHSR 10th anniversary celebration at its premises on Saturday, Kumar said CIHSR has achieved so much in ten years.

He also added that in the last few years, CIHSR’s collaboration with Tata Trust has been growing.

He cited college of nursing, post-graduate c o u r s e s, p a r a m e d i c a l courses, Community LayLeaders’ Health Training Certificate (CLHTC), special program for children in need, etc. as some of the achievements of CIHSR so far.

The CS said the institution had earned a reputation for its great performances and that this could be measured by the number of patients, not K Y M C

only from Nagaland but from surrounding states, that come to CIHSR to avail its services.

“When patients from outside start visiting the hospital, we can be assured that we are providing quality and affordable care to these patients and this is what’s especially encouraging in the efforts of CIHSR”, he said.

Kumar said one of the primary objectives of CIHSR was to become a centre of excellence and thus, it had always embodied values like honesty, transparency and integrity coupled with compassion for both patients and those who serve them.

“CIHSR has been a vibrant and supportive fellowship, focusing on the poor and marginalised and inter-denominational and multi-racial inclusiveness”, he said.

Kumar added that it was because of these values and cherished goals that CIHSR has become the forefront of institutions which are improving public services in the state.

The CS informed that CIHSR has acquired help from the Northeast Coun-

cil to develop infrastructure and had also signed MoU with Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) for developing a regional institution.

He said CIHSR would continue its relation with Tata Trust for radiotherapy and cancer care centre and approach Nagaland University for certification of its degree courses.

Kumar also informed that accreditation process for laboratories was underway as it was considered an important step to take the institution forward.

Presenting the director’s report, CIHSR director, Dr. Sedevi Angami said, the hospital was initially made possible by a small team put together

by Dr. Varghese Phillip, Tony Sykes, Dr. P.K John, Varadarajan and others.

He said the work began in the year 2005 immediately after MoU was signed with the government of Nagaland, Emmanuel Hospital Association (EHA) New Delhi and Christian Medical College (CMC) Vellore.

Recalling the initial years, Dr. Sedevi said the project did not seem viable as the odds were insurmountable adding that during that period people from outside the region had a negative notion about Northeast.

“People think it is the whole organisation behind this project but it is the collective effort of a few people who were passionately driven about making this possible”, he said.

Also citing financial crisis during initial period, Dr. Sedevi said, “the funds that was supposed to come from the government generally got held back for ages so that they could earn interest from parking it in the treasury, a civil deposit or either get diverted for political reasons”, he said.

“Today the hospital has stabilised to be a good secondary multi-speciality centre with several committed staff with a sense of pur pose and direction”, he said.

Dr. Sedevi said at present CIHSR provides high-quality care to many patients in the state with about 50% of patients

from Assam. He said various clinical departments were now maturing to be well-knitted and purposeful and that a lot of people have begun taking ownership.

Further, Dr. Sedevi said CIHSR had always aimed at not only providing healing to the patients but a sense of Godly compassion as well.

The programme was chaired by Pur nungla Aier and Ningrinchon Rumthao, welcome address by Dr. Temsula Alinger, institutional song and Christian Institute of Health Sciences and Research choral by CIHSR choir with Emmi Odyuo as pianist, thanksgiving prayer by Rev. P Dozo, acknowledging of alumni and staff completing 10 and 5 years service and short speeches by Dr. P.K John and Dr. Abraham Joseph, while vote of thanks was delivered by chairman of 10th anniversary celebration, Dr. Viu Meru.

Cultural fest featuring notable artistes and performances from Assam and various Naga tribes were other highlights of the programme.

The journalist’s mobile phone was recovered from the possession of the commandant. Tapan Debbarma’s personal bodyguard Nandalal Reang was arrested on Tuesday after the killing.

Editor of ‘Syandan Patrika’ Subal Kumar Dey had yesterday alleged that Dutta Bhowmik, who had written 11 news items about the Tapan Debbarma’s misdeeds, was called by the commandant and shot inside the battalion’s headquarters.

Tripura Jour nalist Union (TJU) secretary Pranab Sarkar had said that the Press Council of India (PCI) had taken cognisance of the killing.

RK Nagar bypoll: EPS-OPS combine vs Stalin

Edappadi K Palaniswami

O Paneerselvam

MK Stalin

C H E N NA I , N ov 2 5 (AGENCIES): RK Nagar is gearing up once again for what could turn out to be the mother of all by-polls-for the significance of its outcome as well as for the money power that could be on display to influence voters. This is the constituency where by-election was rescinded in April this year after the income tax department found that Rs 89 crore was distributed to voters by just

one candidate’s agents.

It’s a do-or-die battle for both the EPS-OPS combine and DMK leader M K Stalin. No ruling party has lost a byelection in Tamil Nadu since 1999, but the present ruling dispensation, despite regaining the AIADMK party name and symbol, is on a shaky wicket. If it loses, it would be a reiteration of the all-pervading public antipathy towards the governance at play.

The psychological fallout of a loss could impact the minority government, whose existence hinged on a bunch of court cases, whereas a victory for the ruling party will reaffirm Edappadi K Palaniswami’s leadership in the party and the government. Whether the result would influence the 20 rebel MLAs is what one needs to wait and watch.

But for the anti-incumbency factor, the rul-

ing combine is capable of romping home with a decent win. It was the same team that scripted success in the three byelections - Thirupparankundram, Aravakurichi and Thanjavur - when Jayalalithaa was hospitalised a year ago. The difference now is that Jayalalithaa is no more and V K Sasikala is in jail. More than the absence of Sasikala, the AIADMK will be handicapped by the onslaught of the Mannargudi family, headed by T T V Dhinakaran, said political analyst M Kasinathan.

A victory is a dire necessity for the DMK also to keep its cadres’ spirits and hopes high. A defeat, apart from demoralising the leaders and cadres, will reflect the leadership deficit of Stalin. More significantly, it will raise doubts about winnability of the DMK as a party in future elections too, because opposition parties

seldom get such conducive electoral atmosphere, said political analyst Raveenthiran Doraisamy.

Dhinakaran’s presence in the fray will further raise the mercury. Unlike last time, Dhinakaran is not a major force to reckon with now. He will have to strain every nerve to put up a decent show and regroup vestiges of the support base.

The BJP is yet to announce its decision about fielding a candidate in the byelection. A decision is likely to be taken on Saturday, said the party’s senior leader and Rajya Sabha MP L Ganesan.

The I-T department has already activated its machinery to keep a tab on money distribution in the constituency. A repeat of what happened in the previous campaign may result in the byelection getting rescinded once again.

Reel life drama

ecently the uproar and hate speech against Padmavati across many states in India would suggest that the film is the root of all the problems in India and that its release would destroy the national fabric. Those who are against the film have not seen it but relied on propaganda that the Rajput heroine queen Padmini/ Padmavati had a fling with the hated Alaudin Khilji a Muslim king and invader.

The rise of “fringe elements” in the post-2014 parliamentary elections is not a mere coincidence but the consequence of a liberal India that has tolerated those who seek to polarise India along caste and communal lines. Like Indira Gandhi, prime minister Modi also has a clear vision about remaking India. The kind of hatred and violence unleashed over Padmavati is so illogical and bizarre but such is the distortion of information that society today has been torn into shreds by the mushrooming number of ‘fringe elements’. The states that have declared a total ban on the film have wittingly or not, also encouraged the fringe elements into donning the role of accuser, judge and executioner. It is sad the Indian democracy has been brought down to a level that the essence of toleration and dialogue have given way to intolerance which has no response from an incompetent government. Indian politicians insist on exercising their right to govern, but are most reluctant to take responsibility for their follies. Today Indians are polarised and politicians are the most guilty for avoiding responsibility to govern and holding themselves accountable. It has become a joke that politicians who have willing failed to govern and who are destroying the democratic ideals of the nation, fool themselves that they are capable of bringing justice when they pull the wool by constituting special investigative teams to probe crimes , then order a judicial probe and finally, have the cases referred to CBI. This is the standard operating procedures of many present-day state and central governments. It is a standard practice that the investigating agencies produce some report that seek to nail some innocuous and small-time operatives while the big fishes are allowed to swim freely. The Padmavati film controversy has become the red herring of certain state governments who have grabbed the opportunity to trumpet warrior pride to divert attention from their failures. One such case is the Vyapam scam in Madhya Pradesh where its chief minister Prithiviraj Chouhan has done the above and extricated himself, his family and political colleagues. Scams like Vyapam, cannot take place without direct or indirect political and administrative patronage. The CBI has chargesheeted 592 persons, mostly insignificant front-desk operators, in the five-year-old corruption case. It has also exposed the “engine-bogie” modus operandi of the examination racket where bribe-givers copied answer-sheets of hired bright students called ‘solvers’ to qualify in the medical entrance test for Madhya Pradesh colleges. These accused had also manipulated government’s quota in private institutions to secure seats for students who did not even appear in the entrance test. These interesting theories of the central investigating agency seem plausible. It is also to be noted that chairmen of three private medical colleges have been chargesheeted. It is among the biggest scams in recent times but thanks to the nationalistic and patriotic jingoism going on in India such scams continue to be buried underneath.

DailyDevotion The Secret of Spiritual Consistency God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ… —Galatians 6:14 When a person is newly born again, he seems inconsistent due to his unrelated emotions and the state of the external things or circumstances in his life. The apostle Paul had a strong and steady underlying consistency in his life. Consequently, he could let his external life change without internal distress because he was rooted and grounded in God. Most of us are not consistent spiritually because we are more concerned about being consistent externally.

In the external expression of things, Paul lived in the basement, while his critics lived on the upper level.

And these two levels do not begin to touch each other. But Paul’s consistency was down deep in the fundamentals. The great basis of his consistency was the agony of God in the redemption of the world, namely, the Cross of Christ.

State your beliefs to yourself again. Get back to the foundation of the Cross of Christ, doing away with any belief not based on it. In secular history the Cross is an infinitesimally small thing, but from the biblical perspective it is of more importance than all the empires of the world. If we get away from dwelling on the tragedy of God on the Cross in our preaching, our preaching produces nothing. It will not transmit the energy of God to man; it may be interesting, but it will have no power. However, when we preach the Cross, the energy of God is released. “…it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.…we preach Christ crucified…” (1 Corinthians 1:21, 23).

Post-mortem

Article 371 (A) losing its credibility

T

ime and again views on Article 371 (A) have been flushed in newspaper for different reasons on the merit and demerit for the Nagas. In this respect, with conviction the pioneers of this article did understand the uniqueness and rights of the Nagas thereby making it to become a special provision act in the constitution of India. The state and the Nagas has been enjoying special privilege because of the act and the reality is that so far this is the only concrete written act protecting the Naga customary practices recognised by the Indian law.

Until such time as wish by the Nagas to have greater recognition and power to determine our own fate Article 371 (A) remains the foremost shield. Let us not deny the culture, tradition and customary practices of our forefathers which is one of the best unwritten forms of democracy system even acknowledged by the most advanced people, the British.

The social set up in Naga society is such that, every member whether men, women or children is treated with respect and dignity. Men and women have their own responsibilities and support one another. Everyone plays their own part equally and independently which is the key to harmony within the family. There is no instance as such that Nagas practice class system, reservation or discrimination. The assignment is carried out on the basis of physical agility and the nature of work.

To elevate better living condition equal opportunity should be given, if the person has the calibre to do the job irrespective of gender. In the midst of modernisation our life has become so engrossed in alien character that, we are losing the revered cultures once regarded the most priceless Naga heritage. In spite of the good values and truthfulness that is in Naga customary laws and practices we have already begun to undermine it as worthless and inapplicable in the present context of our society. In other word, Nagas have become so inclined to Indian law system and consider it to be the only justice appropriate though it is killing the essence of true traditional justice system which Nagas proudly profess to be our identity and history. But mind it; a person without identity is like a subject which has

R

no dignity of its existence. Many human races are living pathetic life because they have completely lost their culture and are regarded as second rate citizen which should be a reminder to us that we may become one too.

In recent times some learned people within the Naga society had expressed their views on Article 371 (A) which seems the special provision does not hold much ground for the Nagas concerning our rights, belief and practices. They voiced praises on the provision of the rights in other articles under the Indian constitution which are basically enacted just to suit the interest of the mainland people. But the fact is that, among all the articles under the Indian constitution Article 371 (A) is the one and only act which recognized and give the choice for the Nagas to govern ourselves in line with the Naga customary laws and procedures and the right to decide what is good for us. What is surprising is that the rights given to us under the article seems to be least bothered and by the Nagas alone.

Subsequently, are we trying to project the Naga pioneers of the past that had visioned the need to protect us and our stand to the giant India to accept the distinct Naga way of life is wrong. I presume being human, the pioneers did have short comings but let me come straight it is because of their selflessness toward Naga an act of law. Nagas cannot afford to become self-seeking for the benefit of a certain group issue alone and suffer in the greater nucleus matters related to the whole society. Any individual right that is infringing upon the clause of Article 371 (A) and more importantly devalue Naga customary laws and procedures must not be encouraged until such time Naga people take decision to abandon our culture and tradition to embrace Indian customs. There is no reason to twist or misinterpret the article as the act is clear about the system of governance which are just and based on pure democracy.

Let us be rational in thinking about the importance of our customs and revive.

Rely on the legacy which is unsurpassed Naga identity and civilization.

India and the world should know Nagaland stand

he Government of India and its people and the world should know that the Indo-Naga problem is not a Political issue causing a constitutional crisis in India by the Naga demand of Sovereignty or Independence from India.

The fact of the Indo-Naga case is that Nagaland was not and is not Indian Territory.

During the British rule some Naga territories were under the British administration. But it is on record that ‘No treaties or engagement had been made with any of the Naga tribes.’

The Nagas, therefore, asserted their inherent right to freedom for all the Nagas by submitting a memorandum to the Simon Commission in January 1929 requesting the withdrawing British Imperial power not to club the Nagas together with India with which the Nagas had no connection except through the British administration. Following this they affirmed their freedom by declaring their Independence on 14th August 1947, and a day after India was granted her Independence by the British on 15th August 1947.

The declaration of the Naga Independence was officially conveyed to the UN and the British India Government by Telegram.

Even after the declaration of our Naga Independence, the Naga National Council (NNC) sent out Good Will Missions to reach the Indian leadership to have mutual understanding for the future relation between the two nations. But they disregarded all these attempts with arrogant belittling attitudes by castigating our declaration of Independence as the work of a few educated Naga people.

In order to prove to India and to the world the genuine love of their country and declaration of their Independence, the Nagas reaffirmed it by a voluntary Naga National Plebiscite in

1951, conducted by the Naga National Council (NNC) led

by A.Z Phizo, the president of NNC with the result of 99.9 ‘/, for Independence. No form of coercion or threat was deployed by the Naga National Council, and Government of India was officially informed ahead and its representatives and observers were officially invited to authenticate this event and some Indian observers were there too.

But in total disregard to this Historic Naga National Plebiscite, Govt. of India again brought her ballot boxes for the Nagas to vote in the first Indian General election in 1952 after her Independence. But the Nagas, in conformity with their National Plebiscite in 1951, maintained a firmed Naga National stand of total non-participation in this Indian General election without force or any form of coercion on the part of the Nagas. Though Ballot boxes were placed all over Nagaland, ‘not a single vote was cast and all the ballot boxes were taken back empty.’ The above events are evident enough that the Nagas had already become a Nation and not a Nation yet to be. In size and population India and Nagaland are incomparable but as nations they are equal like one man one vote in democracy regardless of their size.

This is the very unique history of the Nagas. The denial of the Naga National right by India, therefore, is tantamount to the denial of the right of man and Nations and rape of democracy in the free world of which India is the largest.

After the first Indian General election, Nehru’s regime at New Delhi started carrying out civil suppression and oppression against the Naga Civil Society and later sent in Indian Army in 1954, resulting in a full scale Military operation against Nagaland. Thus Indo-Naga war started. This is an act of aggres-

sion committed by newly Independent India on Independent Nagaland.

Therefore, the Indo-Naga problem is the outcome of India’s act of waging war on Independent Nagaland by violating the Sovereignty of Nagaland.

The war was brought to a halt only by the International bilateral Cease-fire of 1964 between Govt. of India and Federal Government of Nagaland. The Cease-fire agreement has been honored and respected by the Naga National Council(NNC) and the Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN) and will continue to do so. We need the understanding and statesmanship of the common people of India to live in peace as two friendly neighbors.

India the largest democratic country in the world, now striving for membership in the UN Security Council, and was also the acclaimed liberator of Bangladesh from Pakistan by discarding the UN Charter that ‘a member State will not dismember another member State’ and presently playing host to the exiled Govt. of Tibet, we trust Government of India will have the conscience and wisdom to let go her interference and occupation of Free Nagaland which will always seek and endeavor for friendly relation with all its neighbors in general and the Indian Government in particular.

The Nagas, therefore, are one and united and will always be as we have shown the Government of India and the world by events cited above. So, India’s dilly and dallying with the present scenario is an anachronism in the context of the problem between the two Nations, India and Nagaland.

The Naga Saga (Part II)

eformation of Hohos: The exit of the three giants: ENPO, CNTC and NTC in the falls of 2016, from the Naga Hoho is no miscarriage given the congest symptoms exhibited opposing proliferation of the larger Naga interest.

Apex body such as the Naga Hoho should have exhibited maturity and impartiality in its functions and diplomacy.

When the whole concept of the body is to be compromised under a certain section of proponents for whatever agenda whilst not indulging to consider the reality of perspectives that differed and had but only enhanced towards the legitimate call, how relevance is it now of the concept to be in dark and hinder a call; a clarion one that reciprocates our current disunity. The body itself is not relevant if the root has struck deep but the concept should be enacted for this purpose.

And for that, with regard to the present context, the Apex bodies that truly represents the interest of Nagaland, should coordinate even more than before with each other, and enliven the concept of Naga unity under the fold and nexus of the tribal Hohos.

The members in the Hohos should also see to it to include educated and sensible, young and matured who are well enriched with the way the world works in contemporary times to encompass the intellectual requirements requisite for a civilization to flourish. The Hohos has a responsibility to shoulder the interest of the Nagas at such crucial times, to represent the collective voice of the Nagas especially when the section of people who having usurped a recognition of sake they proclaim legit remain adamant and assuming nom de guerre posing as genuine. It is for certain that the Nagas of Nagaland who for many decades has been suppressed, unlike our forefathers just some three scores back, by forces external and internal, has but awoke from a regressed slumber and has

only never been more sure of the adversaries that pose as a stumbling wall from the direction we all foresee and are exhilarated to embark upon. However as the movement caught the whole lot by surprise, we are today scattered by the phantom of agony and despair inflicted in our way of life by enormous transgression that enmeshed over parallel manifold of factors, in a series of chain of events. Thus, the Nagas today require a platform that postures the collective yearning and desire we all had long longed, so that our silenced voice would no more ring trapped inside our confused minds but impact out in the natural world and manifest itself into progress—we have for eons deferred.

Contemporary political reference: Our politics has always been democratic and the Plebiscite of 1951 reaffirmed our democratic stance, even though the newly independent India dismissed to acknowledge our independence – as such was the perception of the leaders back in those old days. Our inherent democratic independence is not a case of secession—to be snatched and ensnared by any elements, be it foreign or internal. The secession we witnessed was of the emergence of many groups and the aspiration they all professed to bear for the people, be it in nationalistic or regional ground. Thus, the foundations laid down by our foremost political pioneers and explorers like A Z Phizo, T Sakhrie, Scato Swu, Mowu etc. to name a few, who never found it in their hearts to dampen their spirits even when all odds seemed to favor against them, would always be enshrined as a cornerstone for people oriented political aspiration, in the history of Naga. It is because of their pledge for a free Nagaland and freedom of all folds for the people to reap, has kindled the flame in the heart and minds of the generations of Nagas that preceded their own time

inheriting their legacy.

While in the contemporary nature of politics, we hold steadfast of the principles our predecessors charted and has but only evolved along the way with the rest of the world even though it may be alluring to succumb to the merits of the conventional ideologies of post First and Second World War. The law we seek is not to be devoid of reason, to surrender our rights to inscribed rules and regulations without an in-depth of logic. Today in this diverse reality of cultures and ethos, as a human, we should also be tolerant with the diversification and resonate with rational secular law. Even the Christian doctrine does not teach us to be biased and prejudiced.

That is not law, if it embodies bias and discrimination.

It is blasphemy towards the religion and the omnipresent Judail God, also known as Jehovah in Christianity and Yahweh in Judaism, if in the name of religion our personal and economic liberty and freedom is to be snatched – from a realist point of view.

The Nagas are not irrational and do not exclude reason to hinder justice. To obstruct our natural inherent rights in the name of religion is a deception of degree that we have all accounted during the medieval times in Europe.

We know and comprehend the anomalies of ideas and beliefs in our arguments, which is why our common sense guides us to co-exist in harmony with any section of human creed, from far and near.

Democracy has prevailed in any section of the world, from an oppressed and deprived ordinary citizen, to the notion of equality. What we are is we’re all the same.

The poor are poor because of the rich and the rich are rich because of the poor; likewise, the powers are so because of the powerless and vice versa. There are reasons in every space, every time, and this fact cannot be ignored.

Democracy is defined as a

government of the people, by the people and for the people. True democracy is perpetual continuity of progress. The US of America has three branches of government namely: the executive, the judicial and the legislative.

The three branches checks and monitor each other consistently so that there are no irregularities in laws to check the powers, both in the house and bureaucracy. Since we are in dire need for growth in development, to be sustained from the grass root level, we require of a new and reliable structure for the upcoming.

A true elite democracy could be for an entity of three that cross-check and scrutinize each one so that there are no obstruction to progress and transparency. Educated sensible class/elite intellectuals, elected representatives and the people, where the sensible class would check, guide and direct the representatives who would administer and manage the developmental projects, who in turn would be conditionally transparent and monitored, and approached before the people committee in its legislation and executions. Such amount of cohesion would ensure a productive and progressive society, in a tiny state such as ours. The components would be no other than the people themselves. A democracy of elite nature would not succumb to any prejudices, bias, nepotism etc. but would offer a fair ply to every citizen with equal rights and opportunity.

Conclusion: We have today at hand problems of great magnitude in every aspect of our society and unless the people mutually accept to solve it one step at a time or simultaneously, in due time, these problems which have already trampled our every aspect of life, would smite us underneath it never to break free from the bound.

The calling is now and every citizens need to address it to one another that we have had enough of all the problems that has enslaved us and that

we should think and choose the right direction which exist in each of our subconscious that we need to dig in. Being civil and sensible doesn’t mean succumbing to bias and discrimination of any force.

It is about being more human but all the while we should not let men of less reason, bias and authority centered to deprive us of our rights.

Our political pioneers did not gave up on justice but decided to establish their rights in moderate and civilized way by holding the Plebiscite of 1951. Even in the contemporary era, the incident of Mukhalimi and the ULB fiasco, where ordinary citizens

laid down their lives in the belief that their contribution would one day awaken the citizens to realize that there is no justice in our way of life, and if it has to be a life to be paid for the justice to resonate, they had and would lay it down if they had as much life. We know exactly where we are all heading and no one can delude us where we are not. The problems are for us to solve if we are to free ourselves from it. And in times of doubt, our brave brothers stand beside us chickens and we are proud of them.

Together we can do wonders

Sir,

Villagers have started working on the deplorable roads conditions as government miserably failed to maintain the road. Citizens of Tamkoang, Yongkhao and Wangshu villages under Tobu sub-division started repairing the PWD road between Tobu Town and ITC Pangsha that covers eight villages which was left unattended by the government of Nagaland for many years. Though many projects and schemes were implemented to maintain the road, the villagers are yet to witness any successful implementation despite the contractors withdrawing the bills. Being the only life line road that connects with the Tobu headquarter and the outside world, public have faced untold hardships. With the cooperation from the three village councils, some amount of MGNREGA non- wages fund were diverted to purchase bolder and to meet other expenses. Along with this, villagers hired one excavator for a month and started picking up their own tools to work with commitment till the road had turned motorable even for 4x4 vehicles. And under the Tamkoang council, citizens had tirelessly worked for a week under its jurisdiction by filling up the road with bolder after which the same work will be followed up by the neighbouring villages engaged in this major development.

In addition to these sufferings, problems like poor mobile networks, electricity, health issues, poor banking facilities, unstandardized education systems and many more have added miseries to the villagers. Since Nagaland attained statehood, people have been waiting eagerly for decades that one day development will knock our doors. However, the citizens are compelled to live in the stone stage compared to other places. Though we regret to share our grievances, we still linger our hopes that the state government will not remain deaf and dumb as always but will look into our grievances at the earliest. Individual can do little but together we can do wonders.

HM pitches for greater Centre-state cooperation Spl. Correspondent

NEW DELHI, NOV 25 (NPN): Union Home Minister, Rajnath Singh on Saturday called upon the states to promote the spirit of cooperation with greater zest and zeal with the Centre in order to arrive at a consensus on complex issues.

Addressing the 12th meeting of the Standing Committee of Inter-State Council (ISC) here, Rajnath Singh said that Central government had taken number of steps in recent years to promote cooperative federalism. He also expressed satisfaction that the InterState Council and its Standing Committee have been rejuvenated.

He said that the periodical meetings of the Standing Committee are convened to lend speed and purpose to the process of harmonizing Centre-State relations. Expressing satisfaction over regular and

periodical meetings of zonal councils, he said the government’s effort was to see at least one meeting of all these are held annually.

Singh said important State-to-State and CentreState issues that are raised at these meetings find resolution. In 2015 such 82 issues were resolved and 140 issues were resolved in 2016, he added. The Standing Committee, at its meeting, considered 118 recommendations contained in Volumes III, IV and V of the Punchchi Commission and also finalised its recommendations.

Volumes-VI and VII would be discussed during the next meeting of the Standing Committee.

Singh said that the recommendations of the Standing Committee on Punchhi Commission’s report would then be placed before the ISC, headed by the Prime Minister. The subjects discussed at the meeting included-- matters

related to financial transfers from the Centre to the States, Goods and Services Tax, Structure and devolution of functions to local bodies, district planning, special provisions for Fifth and Sixth Scheduled Areas, maintenance of communal harmony, deployment of central forces, migration issues, Police reforms, criminal justice system and other internal security issues.

It may be mentioned that the Punchhi Commission was set up by the Centre in 2005 under the chairmanship former Chief Justice of India, Madan Mohan Punchhi.

The commission had submitted its report in 2010 containing 273 recommendations in seven volumes.

During the 11th meeting of the ISC held on April 9, 2017, after a gap of 11 years, ISC had discussed 69 recommendations of the Punchhi Commission relating to the Constitu-

tional provisions on various subjects such as the role of Governors, the InterState Council, assent to bills passed by Legislative Assemblies etc.

“The convening of the Standing Committee meetings twice in the same year reflects the importance attached to the promotion of harmonious Centre-State relations,” Singh stated.

The meeting of was attended by the Union Finance minister, Arun Jaitley; Social Justice and Empowerment minister, Thaawar Chand Gehlot; chief ministers-- Dr Raman Singh (Chhattisgarh), Naveen Patnaik (Odisha), Vasundhara Raje Scindia (Rajasthan) and Manik Sarkar (Tripura) as members.

GST should be fixed at 18%: Amit Mitra CM inaugurates state guest... against the GST saying that they were not ready for it, it went ahead with the new tax regime and now traders were unable to file returns due to various technical complexities.

“We told the central government not to launch GST on July 1, 2017,” Mitra said. “I am unhappy to say that the Centre has shortfall of approximately Rs 65,000 crore in last three months and states of around Rs 30,000 crore,” Mitra said.

He added that about close to Rs one lakh crore of “expected protected fund” has already been lost in past three months.

It may be mentioned that the project was envisaged and sanctioned in March 2007, but the actual construction could commence only in October 2010 after securing funds from HUDCO and obtaining obligatory clearance from authorities like the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), Municipal Corporation Delhi (MCD), BSES, Delhi Jal Board, etc.

“It was only after securing loans from HUDCO that this long awaited dream could be accomplished,” the chief minister recalled.

‘Padmavati’ row: Country-wide protest by movie industries today M u m b a i , N OV 2 5 (AGENCIES): As a mark of solidarity with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s controversy-hit Padmavati, hundreds of industry persons — from filmmakers to workers — across the country have announced a 15-minute blackout on Sunday.

The Indian Films and TV Directors’ Association (IFTDA), along with 19 other bodies of the film and television industry from across the country will stop shooting for 15 minutes as a mark of protecting the right to freedom of expression of those in the creative field.

Organisations such as Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPPA), Western India Cinematographers Association, Screen Writers Association, The Film and Television Producers Guild of India Limited, Association of Voice Artistes, Cine Costume & Make-up Artiste and Hair Dressers Association, Cine Singer Association, Movie Stunt Artistes Association, among others, will participate in the protest called “Main Azaad Hoon?” (Am I free?) at Film City here, starting at 3.30 p.m. on Sunday.

“Over 600-700 people from the entire film industry in India from filmmakers to writers, workers, make-up men will come together in support of Padmavati. All shoots across India will be halted from 4.15 p.m. to 4.30 p.m.

Through this protest we are trying to say ‘Let us know

Through this protest we are trying to say ‘Let us know — Are we free people, are we living in a democratic country,’ filmmaker and IFTDA convenor, Ashoke Pandit said.

— Are we free people? Are we living in a democratic country?’” filmmaker and IFTDA convenor, Ashoke Pandit said.

Padmavati has been facing the ire of various Rajput groups and political leaders, who have accused the director of “distorting historical facts”.

Referring to the country-wide agitation against the film, Pandit said if a “great filmmaker” like Bhansali can be threatened for exercising creative freedom, it can happen with anyone in the fraternity.

“We are creators of cinema... art. We are educators, we contribute towards the betterment of the country. There are stars supporting various causes (of the government). We stand by them, whenever there is a need. We are hurt with what is happening with Padmavati, we are (being) ill-treated, we feel we are living like orphans in this country,” he says.

Last week, the Supreme Court refused to interfere with the release of Padmavati, with Delhi High Court following suit on Friday. Chief Ministers of BJP-ruled States such as Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan have called for a ban against the movie.

Commenting on the same, Pandit said: “We are not fighting against any particular person. The judiciary has passed some orders but nothing has been done. How can a Chief Minister ban a film without even watching it?”

He added everyone present at the venue will pay tributes to the martyrs in 26/11 terror attacks, before the protest begins.

Featuring Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh, Padmavati was set to be released on December 1. The makers of the film will announce a revised date after clearance from the CBFC.

Kerala ‘love jihad’ case: Hadiya denies forced conversion KOCHI, Nov 25 (AGENCIES): Hadiya alias Akhila, who is on her way to Delhi to appear before the Supreme Court, told reporters at the Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL) that no one forced her into marrying Shefin Jahan.

“I want to go with my husband. Nobody forced me to convert,” Hadiya, who will be produced before the apex court on November 27, told reporters gathered outside the airport.

The Kerala high court had in May annulled the marriage of Hadiya and Shefin Jahan which took place in December 2016.

Jahan then approached the Supreme Court challenging the high court order.

The apex court in turn referred the investigation to the NIA. Hadiya is now being escorted by the police to Delhi along with her father Asokan, who was directed by the top court to produce her before it on November 27. National Investigation Agency (NIA) probing into the Hadiya case had again recorded her statements last week.

The central agency had officially taken over the case, re-registering it at NIA court in Kochi on August 18. Hadiya had been staying at her friend Jaseena’s residence after returning from Salem, where she was studying for BHMS. Ashokan’s complaint had alleged that Aboobacker, father of Jaseena, persuaded Hadiya into embracing Islam.

Signalling a boost to investor sentiments last week, US agency Moody’s Investor Service upgraded India’s sovereign rating to Baa2 from its lowest investment grade of Baa3 after 14 years, while changing the outlook to stable from positive, and said its upgrade was based on the Indian government’s “wide-ranging programme of economic and institutional reforms”.

“If you see the overall business environment in India and the reforms undertaken in recent years, a rating upgrade was long overdue and Moody’s have done so,” said the chairman of the largest Indian lender.

NEW DELHI, Nov 25 (PTI): Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Friday said India is at present passing through a stage that will in future be recognised as a phase of fast formalisation of the economy.

Speaking at a State Bank of India (SBI) event here, he said India is seeing “the replacement of a cash dominated economy with a more formal and digitised economy. One of the great changes will be the way India spends its money”.

The move towards digitisation was expedited post demonetisation of higher denomination currency notes, he said.

“Today we are passing through a changing process for the Indian economy.

MUM B AI , N o v 2 5 (Agencies): In the days after demonetisation, thousands handled their hidden cash by dumping the currency in banks, filing a revised income-tax return, and forking out a little over 30% tax for the extra cash that was deposited.

This, they believed, was a neat way to take care of the cash and keep tax officers at bay. But things may turn out differently. On Friday, the government told all tax offices to accept only those revised tax returns where there is a “bona fide inadvertent error” or “a mistake” on part of the assessee. If inquiries indicate any dubious manipulation to legitimise undisclosed cash deposit, then an assessee should be taxed at a much higher rate under the anti-abuse provisions of the law.

New Delhi, Nov 25 (PTI): Gold prices fell further by Rs 75 to Rs 30,450 per 10 grams at the bullion market Saturday in tandem with a weakening global trend amid sluggish demand from local jewellers.

Silver also dropped by Rs 200 to Rs 40,300 per kg due to reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers.

Traders said besides weak trend overseas, fading demand from local jewellers and retailers at prevailing levels at the domestic spot markets mainly kept pressure on gold prices.

Globally, gold fell 0.21 per cent to USD 1,287.90 an ounce and silver by 0.35 per cent to USD 17.01 an ounce in New York in yesterday’s trade.

Dehradun, Nov 25 (PTI): Industry body Assocham Saturday urged the Uttarakhand government to form a special investment monitoring task force to ensure timely and effective implementation of projects worth over Rs 2 lakh crore.

“Speeding up implementation of projects through target setting must be the mandate and the chief minister should immediately constitute a committee of senior ministers and bureaucrats to oversee pace of projects’ implementation and address environmental, land acquisition and other related issues...,” Assocham Secretary General D S Rawat said while addressing a press conference here.

“The state should accord more importance to implementing investment intentions as even if about half of these get implemented, it would help create 30,000 direct and indirect jobs across the state in the next five years,” Rawat said. He also released an Assocham study titled ‘Uttarakhand: Economic

Under the MEIS scheme, the commerce ministry gives duty benefits to several products. It provides duty benefits at 2 per cent, 3 per cent and 5 per cent depending upon the product and country.

The DGFT said the rates for incentives under MEIS for two subsectors of textiles industry -- readymade garments and madeups -- have been enhanced to 4 per cent of value of exports with effect from November 1 till June 30 next year.

As a result, the estimated annual incentives will be Rs 1,143.15 crore for 2017-18 and Rs 685.89 crore for 2018-19, the commerce ministry said in a statement.

Commenting on the measures, H K L Magu, Vice Chairman of AEPC, said the garment exporters’ body has been demanding the increase in rates of MEIS along with RoSL and duty drawback from a long time.

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has enhanced rates for garments and made-ups to 4 per cent of value of exports from 2 per cent under MEIS. New MEIS rates are effective from November 1.

“Announcement on post-GST rates of RoSL will be effective from 1 Oct 2017. Post-GST rates for remission of state levies/ taxes will boost exports of garments & made-ups,” Irani tweeted.

New Delhi, Nov 25 (PTI): The government has announced the post-GST rates for claiming rebate of state taxes under the scheme for Remission of State Levies (RoSL) on exports of readymade garments and made-ups, in a bid to support the outward shipments.

The government has also doubled the rates for incentives under an export promotion scheme - MEIS to 4 per cent for readymade garments and made-ups.

In a series of tweets, Union Textiles Minister Smriti Irani said post-GST rates for remission of state levies/taxes and Enhanced Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS) rates will boost exports of garments and made-ups.

Egypt massacre toll 305; Prez vows forceful response

CAIRO, Nov 25 (AGENCIES): Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has vowed to respond forcefully after attackers killed at least 305 worshippers in a packed mosque in restive North Sinai province, the country’s deadliest attack in recent memory.

Al-Sisi declared three days of mourning would begin on Saturday, the day after the gun and bomb assault on the Rawda mosque, roughly 40 kilometres (25 miles) west of the North Sinai capital of El-Arish.

In a televised speech the president pledged to “respond with brutal force”, adding that “the army and police will avenge our martyrs and return security and stability with force in the coming short period”.

Several hours later Egyptian air force jets destroyed vehicles used in the attack and “terrorist” locations where weapons and ammunition were stocked, an army spokesman said.

Witnesses said assailants had surrounded the mosque with all-terrain vehicles and detonated a bomb. They then mowed down panicked worshippers as they tried to flee and used congregants’ vehicles they had set alight to block routes to the mosque. The state prosecutor’s office

Abdel Fattah al-Sisi

said in a statement that 235 people were killed and 109 wounded in the attack, the scale of which is unprec-

edented in a four-year insurgency by Islamist extremist groups.

AFP photographs of the scene indicated that children were among the dead.

World leaders condemned the attack. US President Donald Trump condemned on Twitter the “horrible and cowardly terrorist attack on innocent and defenceless worshippers”.

The grand imam of

Cairo’s Al-Azhar, Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb, con demned “in the strongest terms this barbaric terrorist attack”.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bloodshed.

The Islamic State group’s Egypt branch has killed hundreds of policemen and soldiers, and also civilians accused of working with the authorities, in attacks in the north of the

Sinai peninsula.

They have also targeted followers of the mystical Sufi branch of Sunni Islam as well as Christians.

A tribal leader and head of a Bedouin militia that fights IS told AFP that the mosque is known as a place where Sufis gather.

The Islamic State group shares the puritan Salafi view that Sufis are heretics for seeking the intercession of saints.

Rohingyas to stay in make-shift camps after returning to Myanmar Dhaka, Nov 25 (AGENCIES): Rohingya refugees who return to Myanmar following a Bangladesh-Myanmar repatriation agreement will initially have to live in temporary shelters or camps.

“Primarily, they will be kept at temporary shelters or arrangements for a limited time,” Bangladesh Foreign Minister A.H. Mahmood Ali told reporters in Dhaka

on Saturday. The United Nations says 620,000 Rohingya have fled to Bangladesh since August and now live in squalor in the world’s largest refugee camp after a military crackdown in Myanmar that the United Nations and Washington said clearly constituted “ethnic cleansing”.

Bangladesh and Myanmar signed the repatriation agreement on Thursday pav-

ing the way for an “earliest return” of the Rohingya refugees, according to the deal, which Dhaka released on Saturday. Under the agreement, Myanmar “would restore normalcy in Northern Rakhine [State] and to encourage those who had left Myanmar to return voluntarily and safely to their own households” or “to a safe and secure place nearest to it of their choice”.

Zimbabwe court says military takeover was legal H A R A R E , N ov 2 5 (AGENCIES): A Zimbabwe High Court has ruled that the military takeover that led to Robert Mugabe’s ousting was legal, raising immediate concerns about judicial independence under the country’s new administration.

Army chiefs put military vehicles on the streets of Harare and placed veteran leader Mugabe, 93, under house arrest, before he resigned on Tuesday.

M a ny Zim ba bwe ans celebrated the end of Mugabe’s 37-year rule, but fear the new government under President Emmerson Mnangagwa could also be an authoritarian regime.

“Actions by the Zimbabwe Defence Forces to stop the usurping of power by those close to former president Robert Mugabe are constitutional,” staterun ZBC media on Saturday reported the court as saying.

In an apparent reference to Mugabe’s wife Grace and her supporters, it said the court ruled Friday that the takeover was “to ensure the nonelected individuals do not exercise powers that can only be exercised by (those) elected”.

Grace was alleged to have positioned herself to be Mugabe’s chosen successor, prompting the military to intervene and usher in their preferred candidate Mnangagwa.

Mnangagwa was sworn in on Friday, vowing sweeping changes and moves to attract foreign investment to revive the moribund economy.

He also used his inauguration speech to pay tribute to the increasingly frail Mugabe, describing him as one of the “founding fathers of our nation”.

film, but the protests escalated as the film neared its release date. There are conjectures that it “distorts history” regarding the Rajput queen, and Bhansali has denied it repeatedly. The movie’s release date has been deferred from the original December 1 date, but there are efforts from Hindu groups to have it banned.

Kamal, whose films too have faced threats on the same level be it for “Hey Ram” or “Vishwaroopam”, says the current clamour around “Padmavati” is a “problem”, but it is not new.

“There is a problem but it’s not new. When my film ‘Hey Ram’ was to release, somebody in Congress (political party) thought it should be banned just by looking at the poster. But

they did not know what was in the film. Censors were being extra careful. Certification board behaved like censor board,” said Kamal, who has been a part of the film industry for almost five decades.

“All my films had a problem for reasons I am still trying to understand.

Same goes for rumours when you send an sms and it distributes. We are always ready to believe the negativity first. It (protests) is wrong.

After it (‘Padmavati’) comes out and then people have problem... that I still understand,” he added.

Speaking on the slamming culture on social media like Twitter where individuals are free to opine, Kamal says “those who want it regulated have some logic of their own”.

“They shouldn’t do it but... some are far exceeding their freedom which is why they are slammed perhaps,” he said.

“Everyone blames it on youth. It’s not age talking it is the lack of reverence talking. Deeper and hurtful things come from the grown up,” he added.

eteran actor Kamal Haasan, who earlier came out in support of “Padmavati” actress Deepika Padukone amid protests and death threats hurled at her for being a part of the film, says people are being “over-sensitive” on the issue.

“We are being over sensitive. I am saying so in the capacity of being an Indian. In a country where politicians wanted citizens to come upfront in the past... that doesn’t mean I am dismissing off a whole group of people...

There are enough Kamals not enough podiums,” said Kamal during a discussion at the Times Delhi Lit Fest on Saturday.

Bhansali’s attempt to bring alive the story of Rajput queen Rani Padmavati on the silver screen with his movie “Padmavati” hasn’t gone down well with Hindu groups backed by the BJP. It features Deepika as Rani Padmavati, Shahid Kapoor as her husband and a warrior king and Ranveer Singh essays Alauddin Khilji.

In David Moyes first home game in charge, West Ham fell behind inside eight minutes when Marc Albrighton took advantage of some sloppy Hammers defending.

worst start to a season since 2010 when they were relegated under Avram Grant.

Moyes would have been hoping to build on the positive signs on show in the defeat at Watford, but his team wilted inside eight minutes.

Jamie Vardy was allowed to run free down the left and his cross was missed completely by Angelo Ogbonna, which allowed Albrighton the opportunity to poke home from close range.

The Hammers was quite lucky to get away with a penalty appeal on 22 minutes when Albrighton was bundled into by Arthur Masuaku and Vardy curled inches wide seven minutes later.

However, West Ham always looked a threat from set-pieces and they forced home the equaliser just before the break when Kouyate bundled in a leftwing corner.

Pujara, Vijay hand India 107 runs lead against SL

Nag p u r , N ov 2 5 (IANS): Cheteshwar Pujara (121 not out) and opener Murali Vijay (128) powered India to 312/2 and take a 107-run first-innings lead against Sri Lanka on the second day of their second cricket Test here on Saturday.

Pujara watched every ball closely and played a patient knock to bring up his 14th Test ton, while Vijay marked his return in the Test cricket with his 10th century.

They shared a 209-run stand for the second wicket which took India past Sri Lanka’s first innings score of 205.

After the fall of Vijay, skipper Virat Kohli (54 not out) was ruthless from the onset as he and Pujara forged an unbeaten 96-run third-wicket stand when umpires called it a day.

For Sri Lanka, spinner Rangana Herath (1/45) was the only successful wickettaker of the day at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium.

Resuming the day at 11/1, the overnight pair of Vijay and Pujara started cautiously, meddling the

odd ball for quiet singles in the first hour of play before Vijay got into the act to bring up his 16th Test half century.

Vijay had his share of luck on his individual score of 45 in the first session of play when he miscued a Dilruwan Perera delivery

to mid-off which skipper Dinesh Chandimal, running back failed to grab.

Thereafter, there was no looking back for the Tamil Nadu right-hander as he nailed pacer Dasun Shanaka’s half-volley for a brilliant boundary to long-on to bring up his

half century in style. Vijay and Pujara dominated the second session, disallowing the Sri Lanka bowlers take wickets.

The Saurashtra batsman stood tall on the stumps sending the loose deliveries to the fence. Few overs into the final session, Vijay looked to change gears and eventually fell prey to Herath’s delivery handing an easy catch into the arms of Dilruwan Perera at short fine leg.

Later, Kohli joined hands with Pujara and the former stamped his authority, scoring at a faster pace and imposing added threat on the Sri Lanka bowlers.

Pujara completed his century when he played medium pacer Dasun Shanaka past gully for a double in the second ball of the 87th over. Afterwards, Kohli and Pujara comfortable sailed through till the end of the day to put India in a position of strength, reaching 312/2.

Brief Scores: Sri Lanka 205 vs India 312/2 (Pujara 121 not out, Kohli 54 not out; Herath 1/45).

Sindhu enters Hong Kong Open final NEW DELHI, Nov 25 (Agencies): India’s ace shuttler PV Sindhu dished out superlative performance to make it to her second straight final at the Hong Kong Open Super Series after posting a straight-game win over Ratchanok Intanon of Thailand on Saturday.

Second seed Sindhu got the better of sixth seed Intanon 21-17, 21-17 to set up summit clash with Tai Tzu Ying of Chinese Taipei.

Sindhu opened the first game with three points lead and continued to have the upper hand with 11-7 at the break. She carried on in the same vein after the interval, surging ahead to 14-7 before conceding a point.

With Sindhu leading 20-13, Intanon won four successive points to delay the inevitable before her error helped the Indian seal the first game 21-17 in 19 minutes.

It was a neck and neck start in the second game with both players winning points but Sindhu kept her calm and went into the break with 11-6 lead after winning six points on the trot. Intanon tried hard to fightback but Sindhu ensured to keep her lead intact and won the second game 21-17.

M u m b a i , N ov 2 5 (Agencies): Mumbai City recovered from their opening defeat of the Indian Super League’s fourth season by beating FC Goa 2-1 at home on Saturday.

Midfielder Everton Santos put Mumbai ahead early in the second half before Manuel Arana equalised for Goa. It was left for substitute Thiago dos Santos to seal the match for Mumbai as he scored with less than seven minutes left on the clock.

The first half was rather sloppy as both teams sized each other up. Goa’s first good chance of the half came in the 19th minute when Spaniard Manuel Bruno sent across a delightful left-footed cross to his compatriot Ferran Telechea. But the forward took one touch too many to allow a Mumbai defender to clear the ball.

Goa nearly scored at the other end as well a few minutes later after Seriton Fernandes almost slid the ball into his own net while trying to clear.

Goa’s best chance of the half came in its last few seconds as a scuffle in the Mumbai box led to Telechea shooting the ball

BARCELONA, Nov 25 ( Ag en c ies ) : L i o n e l Messi received his fourth Golden Shoe award on Friday for leading all of Europe’s leagues in scoring last season.

It was the fourth time the Barcelona forward has received the honor, drawing him even with Real Madrid rival Cristiano Ronaldo as the award record-holders.

Messi scored 37 in the Spanish league, beating out Dutch striker Bas Dost, who netted 34 for Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese league.

The 30-year-old Messi also led Europe’s league in scoring in 2009-10 (34), 2022-12 (50 goals) and 201213 (46 goals).

Messi was presented with the trophy by teammate Luis Suarez, who won the award in 2015-16 with 40. Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets also attended the ceremony in Barcelona.

Messi thanked his teammates for helping him score so many goals, while also saying that he enjoys playing more than ever, 13 years since his debut with Barcelona’s first team.

Two more Indians enter finals of Women’s Youth Boxing C’ships

Nitu is declared winner against China fighter Yuan Nie on Saturday. (PTI)

Guwahati, Nov 25 (PTI): Indian boxers continued to remain an unstoppable force at the AIBA Women’s Youth World Championships with two more advancing to the final to take the total number to an unprecedented five, here Saturday.

Nitu (48kg) and Sakshi Chopra (54kg) won their respective semifinals to continue India’s best ever performance at the marquee age group event being held for the first time in the country. “This has been an exceptionally good performance by all of my boxers.

They have not just shown good technique but have

also shown the big hearts they have to face fancied opponents,” India’s Italian coach Rafaelle Bergamasco told PTI. Nitu was the first to take the ring, against China’s Yuan Nie. It was a battle of equals at least for the first two rounds with Nie proving quite a handful.

What worked for Nitu was her deft right straights, which connected quite impactfully to make an impression on the judges.

The second round was marred by excessive clinching by both the boxers but the final three minutes more than made up for it as an aggressive exchange

of punches had the crowd on its feet. Nitu will next be up against Kazakhstan’s Zhazira Urakbayeva, who got the better of Ireland’s Caitlin Fryers in a fiercelycontested bout.

Next girl in for India was Sakshi, taking on Japan’s Irie Sena. The nimblefooted Sakshi had little trouble breaking through Sena’s shell guard within a few seconds of the bout’s start. Sakshi also stood out for her ring-craft, dodging her rival’s feeble attacks with consummate ease. In fact, the pounding became too much for the Japanese, who threw in the towel in the second round to end her misery.

Yesterday, Jyoti Gulia (51kg), Shashi Chopra (57kg) and Ankushita Boro (64kg) claimed contrasting victories to enter the summit clashes of their respective weight categories.

This is India’s best ever performance in the event by quite a stretch given that the country has not won a gold medal since the 2011 edition when Sarjubala Devi had finished on top.

In the 2015 edition, India had just one bronze medal to show for.

Messi receives 4th Golden Shoe award Kohima Downhill MTB “I have never considered myself a forward. I have been lucky enough to score goals,” Messi said. “I have grown both on and off the pitch. I keep improving and adding things to my game, and I enjoy playing more and more.”

The Golden Shoe is awarded by European Sports Media, an association of European sports newspaper and magazines.

Meanwhile, Messi ended months of speculation when finally putting pen to paper on Saturday to extend his contract with Barcelona until 2021, the club announced.

The Spanish giants had announced in the summer that Messi, 30, had committed his future to the club but the Argentine had not signed the new deal. “FC Barcelona and Lionel Messi signed on Saturday morning a new contract that will keep the Argentinian superstar at the club through the 2020/21 season,” read a club statement. “The buyout clause was set at 700 million euros ($835 million).”

goalwards from within six yards but goalkeeper Amrinder dived to his right to make a crucial save. The teams went into halftime still level and goalless.

The second half started like the first ended, with both teams almost getting onto the scoresheet but for either poor or unlucky finishing involving crossbar hits. It was, then, rather on cue that the first goal of the night came via another sloppy effort, unfortunately at Goa’s expense.

The away goalkeeper

Narayan Das received a back-pass and he took too long to clear it considering Everton Santos was lurking nearby. The Brazilian slid in at Das’s feet and got the ball, which lobbed up and dropped into the net.

The rest of the half saw Goa get frustrated, committing a few fouls and playing into the hands of Mumbai before Manuel Arana finally got the equalizer. The Spaniard received the ball from the right flank before volleying it into the net past a helpless Amrinder.

Manuel Bruno almost gave Goa the lead with a beautiful left-footed curler from outside the 18-yard box but Amrinder Singh boxed it over the bar. Then, rather cruelly for the away side, Mumbai nicked the lead at the other end via substitute Thiago dos Santos with less than 3 minutes to play.

Mumbai held on to their lead, barely, even as the fourth official added four minutes at the end, picking up their first points of the season.
