Narendra Modi

Hyderabad, Nov 28 (PTI): Hard selling his government’s reforms, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday invited global entrepreneurs to come to India saying that it provides an investment friendly environment where restrictions have been removed and archaic laws abolished.

Speaking at Global Entrepreneur Summit (GES) 2017, he said over 1,200 outdated laws have been scrapped, 87 rules for foreign investment eased in 21 sectors and several government processes have been taken online.

“To my entrepreneur friends from across the globe, I would like to say, ‘Come,

Make in India, Invest in India’, for India and for the world,” he said. “I invite each one of you to become a partner in India’s growth story. And once again assure you of our wholehearted support.”

Stating that an investment-friendly environment needs to be stable from the macro-economic perspective, Modi said his government has succeeded in containing the fiscal and current account deficits as well as curbing inflation.

“Our foreign reserves have crossed $400 billion, and we continue to attract large foreign capital flows,” he said.

To young entrepreneur friends from India, he said: “Each of you has something valuable to contribute towards creating a New India by 2022. You are vehicles of change and instruments of India’s transformation”.

Listing out business friendly measures the government has undertaken, Modi said loans worth Rs 4.28 trillion (Rs 4.28 lakh crore) have been sanctioned under the entrepreneurship loan scheme, MUDRA.

CM invites investors for setting up bamboo processing plants D I M A P U R , N OV 2 8 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister, T.R. Zeliang on Tuesday stressed on the need to invite investors for setting up bamboo processing plants in Nagaland.

Addressing the 9th governing body meeting of Nagaland Bamboo Development Agency (NBDA) at his residential office, T.R. Zeliang, who is also the chairman of the governing body, said that instead of sending the raw materials outside, setting up small scale industries for bamboo processing would boost the local economy while creating avenues for employment.

According to CMO media cell, Zeliang called for reformation in NBDA for over-all improvement in the marketing sector.

“Since massive bamboo plantation is taking

place, marketability of the same has to be taken into account,” he said.

Zeliang mooted the idea of inviting companies to set up mini-plants and small scale industries for processing bamboo locally.

Though NBDA has been carrying out bamboo plantation covering all the 11 districts through the participation of village councils, farmers, SHGs,

individuals and societies, Zeliang, however, said that marketing of raw materials and its end-products remains a challenge.

He said the huge cost incurred to transport bamboos from interior districts of the state to processing plants in neighbouring states has left the government with scanty profit even as local traders go at a loss most of the time.

The panel discussion on Nagaland Special Development Zones was substan-

tiated by Neiphiu Rio, Lok Sabha MP, during whose tenure as chief minister the NSDZ was passed including former chief secretary, Alemtemshi Jamir.

Hongkong give land on lease for business investments and which had helped built up their economies. He said in turn, business generates jobs for youths.

Dimapur, Nov 28 (NPN): Under attack from Nagaland Public Rights Awareness and Action Forum (NPRAAF) for alleged release of funds to dubious beneficiaries, Planning & Co-ordination (P&C) department has come up with a clarification.

oppose the NSDZ, Rio countered that if some people do not want it then they should let those willing to offer land to make the choice.

The NSDZ had to be shelved in the face of strong opposition by various apex tribe organizations led by Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) on the ground that taking away traditional ownership and offering lands to outsiders was not in the interest of the people.

NTC secretary information and publicity, Theja Therieh categorically stated that NSDZ was nothing but shallow and self defeating by itself and that planning some thing like that was not going to promote resource mobilization but only promote more corruption.

He reiterated that by Naga tradition and culture, the people and the land were inseparable and synonymous to each other.

SC upholds Asthana’s appointment as CBI SD

New Delhi, Nov 28 (AGENCIES): The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld Rakesh Asthana’s appointment as CBI Special Director (SD), saying all norms were followed in appointing him.

A Bench of Justice RK Agrawal and Justice AM Sapre--which had reserved its verdict on November 24 on a PIL by Common Cause questioning Asthana’s appointment--said mere mention in an unsolicited and unverified diary could not stop his promotion.

A 1984-batch Gujarat cadre IPS officer, Asthana was appointed CBI Special Director on October 22, 2017. The PIL had challenged his appointment on the grounds that it was “illegal, arbitrary, mala fide and in violation of the principle of impeccable integrity and institutional integrity”.

Attorney General KK Venugopal had defended the appointment contending that he had an outstanding career as he supervised over 40 high-profile cases such as coal scam, Kingfisher Airlines, Augusta Westland scam, black money and money laundering cases.

Countering Venugopal’s submission, petitioner’s counsel Prashant

(From-p-1)

Rakesh Asthana Bhushan had termed Asthana’s appointment as illegal for his name had surfaced in a diary recovered during a raid conducted by the Income Tax department at the offices and other premises of Sterling Biotech Ltd. Bhushan had alleged that the diary showed Asthana as having received illegal gratification from a company and the CBI had recently registered an FIR in a money-laundering case against the accused company and some public servants.

Dismissing the PIL, the top court agreed with submissions made by Venugopal who had said that the CBI had not named him in the FIR and Asthana, who was earlier an additional director in the CBI, was looking after 11 zones.

“The committee considered the note and the matter was also considered with the Director CBI. Keeping in view that there is no finding that the person mentioned therein is the same person under consideration for appointment and there is nothing about the veracity of the contents of the document...,” Venugopal had read out from the minutes of the meeting of select committee.

He had said the committee had considered the fact that the CBI itself had earlier proposed Asthana’s name for the post of special director and hence decided to recommend the name of the officer for the post.

“The committee has kept in view the fact that the vigilance commission does not take cognisance of complaints received just on the verge of appointment or promotions unless there is proven misconduct,” Venugopa had said.

The minutes of the note were not given to him under RTI, Bhushan had said alleging that under Asthana, the CBI would not be able to work freely and without favour as the officer’s daughter’s wedding was held in a sprawling farmhouse of the owner of the accused company.

Lucknow, Nov 28 (AGENCIES): Samajwadi Party patron Mulayam Singh Yadav has said that the parties to the Ram Janmabhoomi dispute are ready to abide by the Supreme Court order, albeit without ruling out talks as a means of resolving the issue.

Days before the SC is due to hear the case next on December 5, Yadav told ET, “Both parties are ready to go by the SC order. Alternatively, finding an amicable solution by mutual discussion can be looked at.”

The statement comes close on the heels of spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s meetings with several stakeholders, even as the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has questioned his role and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has said that only Ram Mandir will be built at the Janmabhoomi site.

Although Yadav did not elaborate on his statement, prominent Shia cleric Kalbe Jawad said the SP patron is a seasoned politician and he must have made the statement in some context.

“He has done a lot of work for the community; for us, he is a much taller leader than (his son and SP chief) Akhilesh,” Jawad said.

“The order for firing on October 30, 1990 was needed to save the religious

Mulayam Singh place – Babri Masjid – and maintain the faith of Muslims. It was in the interest of the whole nation,” Yadav said. “Had I not ordered firing, the nation would have seen great disharmony.”

While speaking at his 79th birthday bash on November 22, when he and his son Akhilesh shared the stage after a year, Yadav had said, “If more people were required to be killed for the country’s unity and integrity, the security forces would have done it.”

While some political analysts said that Yadav might have made the statement to polarise Muslim votes during the civic polls, others said he is convinced to the core that what he did was right. “He has always stood by his decision. And why shouldn’t he when he knows how the Muslim support helped him gain power,” said JP Shukla, a political analyst.

Hadiya’s father welcomes SC decision; calls her a ‘terrorist’

NEW DELHI, Nov 28 (AGENCIES): The father of the Kerala woman, at the centre of the alleged ‘love jihad’ case, on Tuesday welcomed the Supreme Court decision allowing her to continue her studies.

Asked about his stance on inter-religious marriages, Hadiya’s father K M Ashokan said he believed in one religion and one god but could not have a terrorist in the family.

“Hadiya does not have any idea about Syria, where she wanted to go after converting to Islam,” Ashokan said.

“I cannot have a terrorist in the family,” he added. The Supreme Court on Tuesday freed Hadiya+ , 25, alleged to be a victim of ‘love jihad’, from the custody of her parents and sent her to college to pursue her studies, even as she pleaded that she should be allowed to go with her husband Shafin Jahan. “I was sad that she had to undergo all these unpleasant experiences because of which her studies were interrupted. But now I am happy as the court has allowed her to study further,” Ashokan told reporters.

He denied allegations that she had been kept under house arrest and added, “She was fully surrounded by police inside and outside the house.” Ashokan said he

KM Ashokan was not worried about her security in Salem, Tamil Nadu, as she was now under the protection and observation of the apex court.

“I accept the Supreme Court’s decision. She is under the protection of the Supreme Court as it is monitoring the case and so I am not worried about her security,” he said.

He also said he would go to Salem and meet her as and when necessary as the court had allowed him to do so. “The court has not

given anyone guardianship, including Shafin Jahan, of my child,” Ashokan said, adding that only close relatives like him were allowed by the court.

Hadiya on Tuesday left for Salem under the protection of Kerala Police and is expected to reach there by evening.

The apex court, which on Monday interacted with Hadiya for nearly half-anhour in the cour troom against the wishes of her father who had sought an in-camera interaction, had directed the Kerala police to provide her security and ensure that she travels at the earliest to Salem to pursue her homoeopathy studies at the Sivaraj Medical College there.

Hadiya was in the custody of her parents for almost six months after the Kerala High Court had on May 29 anulled her ‘nikah’ with Shafin Jahan.

Lalu Prasad Yadav and Nitish Kumar.

NEW DELHI, Nov 28 (AGENCIES): Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday took a sarcastic jibe at RJD chief Lalu Prasad without naming him, after the latter accused the Centre of hatching a “conspiracy” to frighten him into giving up his “relentless fight for preserving communal harmony and social justice.”

The Centre on Sunday completely withdrew the NSG security cover provided to Lalu. It also downgraded his ‘Z-Plus’ security to ‘Z’.

“Now Lalu will have hardly around 35 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) commandos who are especially trained for

providing VIP security. All the eight NSG bodyguards have been withdrawn with immediate effect,” sources told TOI. Following the Centre’s decision, Lalu’s elder son Tej Pratap Yadav on Monday said he will “skin” Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“Narendra Modi ka khaal udhedva lenge,” he had said. Tej Pratap alleged that the Centre had withdrawn his father’s NSG security cover as part of a conspiracy to kill him. Lalu’s younger son and leader of opposition in legislative assembly Tejashwi also alleged that his father can be killed.

Challenge before Rahul Gandhi

Vol. XXVII NO. 355 Dimapur, Wednesday, November 29, 2017

I

Fallen on deaf ears

t has been decades since Nagaland has been promoting the concept of economic development through entrepreneurship and a series of workshops and programmes were held. Among the efforts in this direction were schemes under PMRY or CM’s Corpus fund and also sending entrepreneurs to other states while a privileged few were sent abroad. In the past few years, the concept also saw the promotion of skill development in line with the policy of the government of India. These efforts can be described as positive and in the right direction.

It may be noted , that promotion of entrepreneurship has been among the policies of the central government since the seventies which the state’s industries department had also been implementing.

The point is that since the seventies and till today, development of entrepreneurship has been “implemented” in a variety of ways by the state government. The practical reality is that government-sponsored entrepreneurship form the 70s till the 90s has hardly made much impact. That is so because the very fact that promotion of entrepreneurship being a government policy and implemented by the government can only meet one end- rise of a nouveau riche. A privileged community that has been fed by government schemes cannot be described as entrepreneurship by any stretch of imagination. Even if a very few individuals may have benefitted from government patronage; that does not take away the fact that entrepreneurship cannot be created.

Today, it is not known as to what has happened to the thousands of “government-sponsored entrepreneurs” who enjoyed all the subsidies, incentives and other benefits which the policy endowed. Unfortunately, “government-sponsored entrepreneurs” in general, with few exceptions, cannot do without “assistance”. If that be so, then entrepreneurship would be a misnomer and unrelated to the character and personality of what genuine entrepreneurship means. It is also undeniable that most pioneering entrepreneurs in Nagaland, past and present, had risen up through their own individual efforts, without any government help in any manner. Today, the global environment provides the biggest place for business and governments play a very limited role.

The competition means that the best survive but if we are unable to nurture the best, then the future will not survive. Economic venture in today’s context is private entrepreneurship with the government playing the role of a catalyst in framing relevant and useful policies on taxes etc. This is a message that needs to be understood and realised. Too much time has been spent on dreams. It is time to wake up to the realities and begin hard work. The plea of promoting economic development must not lead to creating of a privileged section that only widens economic disparity. Most importantly, the first and foremost responsibility of the government is to provide efficient power supply and also an environment where extortionists and anti-social elements are not tolerated and seriously dealt with. If there has been practically very little or no respond to persistent pleas by state politicians and bureaucrats to outside investors to do business in Nagaland, then there is a need for serious soul searching and take corrective steps.

DailyDevotion The Riches of the Destitute …being justified freely by His grace…

—Romans 3:24 The gospel of the grace of God awakens an intense longing in human souls and an equally intense resentment, because the truth that it reveals is not palatable or easy to swallow. There is a certain pride in people that causes them to give and give, but to come and accept a gift is another thing. I will give my life to martyrdom; I will dedicate my life to service— I will do anything. But do not humiliate me to the level of the most hell-deserving sinner and tell me that all I have to do is accept the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.

We have to realize that we cannot earn or win anything from God through our own efforts. We must either receive it as a gift or do without it. The greatest spiritual blessing we receive is when we come to the knowledge that we are destitute. Until we get there, our Lord is powerless. He can do nothing for us as long as we think we are sufficient in and of ourselves. We must enter into His kingdom through the door of destitution. As long as we are “rich,” particularly in the area of pride or independence, God can do nothing for us. It is only when we get hungry spiritually that we receive the Holy Spirit. The gift of the essential nature of God is placed and made effective in us by the Holy Spirit. He imparts to us the quickening life of Jesus, making us truly alive.

He takes that which was “beyond” us and places it “within” us. And immediately, once “the beyond” has come “within,” it rises up to “the above,” and we are lifted into the kingdom where Jesus lives and reigns (see John 3:5).

Nagaland Post, Dimapur Wednesday, November 29, 2017

P

olitical parties all over the world have come to be closed shops.

What is known as the ‘High Command’ usually dictates on who will be installed as the president. Rahul Gandhi has been ‘elected’ as the Congress president.

The outgoing chief Sonia Gandhi saw to it that her son would occupy the top party position.

I had seen the change in the Conservative Party of the United Kingdom from close quarters when I was India’s High Commissioner at London in the nineties. Mrs Margaret Thatcher was the Prime Minister. But she was asked to step down and she had to abide by the orders of the party.

I asked her directly why she was doing so.

Her children were doing business in South Africa and they were not in any way connected with the issue. She said that she had purposely sent them far away lest she should be accused of nepotism.

She said that “the men in grey suits decided when the Prime Minister should step down. They would tap the shoulder and you are

expected to step down.”

John Major was her successor.

When there was a clamour for Sonia Gandhi to occupy the position of Prime Minister she declined the offer and instead selected the faithful Manmohan Singh ahead of the most acceptable and experienced Pranab Mukherjee. It was an open secret that the government would be run from 10 Janpath, Sonia Gandhi’s residence and Manmohan Singh fitted into her scheme of things.

The government’s secret files would go to her residence where her political secretary Ahmed Patel first vetted them and then sent to Sonia Gandhi for her approval. So much so that Manmohan Singh came to be known as ‘Accidental Prime Minister’ and a book by his press officer also confirmed the expression. When he was asked to comment on the title given to him, he merely said that the posterity would judge.

Newspaper reports published since then confirmed that he was merely the mukuta (mask) and in his name the administra-

tion ran from 10 Janpath. Congress except dependIn fact, even Rahul Gandhi ing on the dynasty to give once denounced the contro- a name which is generally versial ordinance to negate acceptable to the counthe Supreme Court verdict try.

and other stalwarts opposing him, Morarji Desai lost the race. It is another matter that Kamaraj was subsequently sidelined. I was in the thick of things and asked Kamaraj why he preferred Indira Gandhi over Morarji Desai? His answer was that “Morarji was too rigid and did not believe in principal of consensus.”

The timing of Rahul’s anointment as party president has come at a time when the Congress has lost the sheen. The party still believes that he would be able to dispel the magic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his home state which is going to the polls next month. Understandably, the Congress has struck a seat-adjustment deal with the Patidars to capture power in Gujarat.

But it remains to be seen whether Rahul Gandhi will be able to make the turn around which the party is looking for.

In the past, when he was made vice-president and poll campaigner he miserably failed in states like Madhya Pradesh, Haryana and even in Uttar Pradesh where the Con-

gress had a poll alliance with the Samajwadi Party.

In other words, he could not make much of a difference to the fortunes of the party. Unfortunately, despite having some stalwarts in the party, the deeprooted culture of dynasty has come to prevail.

The biggest challenge to Rahul Gandhi is the forthcoming election in Gujarat. In fact, this is a key election for all political parties, including the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party.

Apart from Rahul Gandhi, the state assembly polls will also be a litmus test for both Prime Minister Modi and BJP president Amit Shah. They will leave no stone unturned to see that their party wins because what happens in Gujarat would decide the fate of general elections, due two years later. This will also show which way the wind is blowing.

But then two years is too long a period to depend on what happens now.

The Congress which is irrelevant now may retrieve the ground because no government can meet the demands of what people want.

Post-mortem

F

The Boss is always Right

irst and foremost, this shor t ar ticle is not meant to attack anyone.

Instead it is offered as a point of reflection to many of the readers especially the common people. The common phrase ‘The boss is always right’ was clearly seen in the last couple of days at the Imphal airport, where a woman, Dr.Nirala, who was supposed to fly and attend the funeral of her brother at Patna, was delayed in the airport because of the visit of the President of India. According to the news report, the Union Minister, K.J Alphonse explained to the woman that since 70 years the protocol has been made that no flight should take off unless the president’s flight has landed on the ground. As a citizen of India I respect the law made by the government for the safety of our VIPs, however, I condemn the law if it is not in favour of its own citizens. This incident makes me to think twice in a democratic state like India, why this VIP culture is so strong, where justice for a woman to see the last face of her dead brother was denied?

Personally I believe that there are many such cases in India but are unfortunately not reported. Therefore the courage of this woman to argue with the union minister is a great lesson for many common

T

people who are deprived of their rights in many similar cases. Such incidents have happened not only on airlines but also on roads. We are fully aware that if any VIP passes through the road, the road must be clear one hour earlier. Again, is this a democratic state? Few months ago a traffic police in Bengaluru was awarded for choosing humanity over the VIP. The report says that a traffic police had stopped the VIP vehicle and allowed first the Ambulance to go ahead. This great act of a simple traffic police shocked the whole country.

The law of the land says that all are equal before the law (Article 14 of the Indian constitution). Furthermore; the Chief Justice of India, Dipak Misra, in one of his speeches on Sunday (26/11/2017) said ‘the citizens’ rights have to be at the pinnacle’. Hence, why should VIP culture be so strong in our country? I am also not surprised why roads, particularly in all the Northeastern states, are bad.

In my personal observation, of course it may not be true to all, majority of our leaders are either travelling by air or by a costly vehicle where they can hardly feel the jerking on the bad roads. When union ministers visit northeast, they hardly travel by road, either because they have no

time or they know that roads are not good. As a result our roads are not maintained or repaired and the citizens are suffering not only due to bad road but also due to dustbath as reported by different newspapers in Purana Bazar, Dimapur a couple of days back. It is very sad that our ministers had forgotten the etymological word of minister, which comes from the old French word ‘Ministre’ meaning ‘Servant’ or those who serve others. Therefore, the incident of flight delayed in Imphal airport which caused an argument between a lady and a union minister is not fair if we see from the viewpoint of being a minister who should serve people who are in need. It is very sad to note that, today the ministers are just the opposite from the original meaning of being a minister. We are living in a democratic country where our Constitution is sovereign, and article 19 of the Indian Constitution allows us to have a freedom of speech.

So, forgive me if I have hurt anyone through this short article. Lastly let us respect and serve each other as Indians and as Fundamental Duties (Art. 51A) bind us to create a country of brotherhood and sisterhood.

UNDP appeals for solution to the Naga political issue at the earliest

I

would like to give a few suggestions in regard to the present Naga political issue. The Naga political issue has been prevailing since the rule of the British and till date, no concrete solution has been brought.

We Nagas’ under democratic India are different ethnically, in culture and practices. Even then, whn the Britsih left India it could not give us a separate soverieignty. There was a time when we Nagas suffered under the Indian and British Raj but it is not so now. Today, under the Indian government we enjoy all amenities and provision.

Prime Minister, Modi during his visit to Nagaland at the 2016 Hornbill Festival said that within a period of 18 months time, a solution would be brought for the ongoing Naga political issue and basing on that, there have been mutual understanding and peace among the Nagas. The UNDP feels that the general Naga public, civil societies, Tenyemia, ENPO, CNTC etc should have a joint convention of sort in order to come to a solid understanding and put up its resolution to the Indian government for an earlier solution. We also would like to suggest that this convention be held in Mokokchung, the district headquarter in which Dr. Clark conceived Christianity at Molung village and gave birth at Impur, both of which falls under the said district. Not only this but it seems to be the ample location where all interested society can come together without much in-convenience transportation wise. One should also

Dimapur: A Nagas’ Utopia

he constant plea, on the part of many, for all tribes to unite and do away with tribalism has gained a significant eminence in our society’s discourse, especially with regard to solving the innumerable social and political maladies afflicting us. Realistically, this plea for a ‘united’ Naga is quite admirable; it is a crucial first step toward addressing and, thus, alleviating some of our most pressing socio-economic and political issues that confront our society today. The uproar made with regard to making our society free from corruption in its multiplicity, conducting elections that are uncontaminated by unfair practices, developing society’s infrastructures, increasing the living standards, addressing the issues of youth unemployment, resolving the Naga political problems with the Union Government of India, and so on have become undeniably loud.

Nagas are now beginning to realize that, without unity, among the various tribes, no problems can be solved.

Indeed, a society that is not united will only disintegrate into oblivion; and such a society cannot be expected to solve the smallest of insignificant issues. If tribalism is not done away with, I am afraid, Nagas will be regressing backward into primitivism; thereby, paving the way for the Nagas to be conquered effortlessly. We are thus coming to a realization that without cleaning up our own internal problems, we cannot expect any existing societal problems to be solved anytime soon.

I do understand that there are many “leaders,” “intellectuals,” “academicians,” “politicians,” “village elders,” and many others who are genuinely concerned about the lack of unity among the tribes and the debilitating disease of tribalism that are slowly eroding the very

foundations of our society.

However, it is very painful to see that a majority of such aforesaid personalities are not only highly ill-informed (which is quite dangerous for they misled people by giving them false information), but are also deeply entrenched in tribalistic ways of thinking.

They may say one thing (“No to Tribalism”), but their actions say another (“My tribe first” or “My Land, My Air, My Water, My World”).

I suppose, there are many “good people” in our society; yet, they cannot think beyond their own tribe or their tribe’s interests. This, of course, is not to say that all are insincere, but that most of us are only “Talk” and “No Action”. It is very easy to talk big and mighty; we can even call heavens down to earth, but when it comes to action, one is scarcely willing to “Walk the Talk”.

These are some issues we, as a society, need to deeply reflect upon.

Despite such realities, Nagas, unconsciously or unbeknown to themselves, are already ‘United’; in other words, outwardly we are not united, evident by the fact that we are all very tribalistic in our ways of thinking and in our actions.

However, unconsciously we are united. This unconscious unity is an essential first step toward realizing a ‘United’ society and in alleviating many of the Sicknesses of Tribalism. This is because, in my humble opinion, the unconscious is the birthplace of human actions and behavior. Much of our genuine and authentic intentions reside in this realm. And that our authentic selves, our genuine wants, desires, and feelings are dictated by our unconscious. Hence, what we unknowingly do, say, and feel are our authentic actions and feelings.

(To be concluded) Dr. Salikyu Sangtam, St. Joseph University

keep in mind that it was only after Christianity came to our land, we became a known entity and the Indian government passed the bill for a separate state for Nagaland.

Today, Nagaland may be known as a Christian state but we see a lot of off-shoot societies. UNDP is of the opinion that in spite of all these, we worship only one God after all and so also there are many political parties but only one party forms a government. The word of the Lord says that all creatures on land and sea should not eat/partake of its own blood (Leviticus 11), but we Nagas seem to be going totally against the word of God. A political party, be it national or regional is under the election commission of India and the financial assistance provided is for development and management of the state. But when it comes to human rights issues, the voice of the general public and all the national workers should be the final call and not that of a political party.

The UNDP therefore urge the Nagas to come together as one, where each political party can also bring their own agendas, grievances to the common table that is open to the general public, civil societies and the national workers for speeding up and also urged the Indian government of this issue to be discussed in the parliament (which we have not heard of so far) and finding a solution to the Naga political issue at the earliest.

Reader’s Post

Attention ACAUT, PSAN Sir,

I, as a layman, would like to congratulate the Against Corruption and Unabated Taxation (ACAUT) and Public Service Aspirant of Nagaland (PSAN), for taking up the issue of backdoor appointment. I would also like to seek some clarification from ACAUT and PSAN on the following issues (1) regularization of contract service of government employees, who had rendered more than three years of continuous service prior to 25/7/2017. (2) From which year onward has the ACAUT and PSAN taken as the cut off year in their fight against backdoor appointment.(3) What course of action is the ACAUT and PSAN going to take up on these backdoor appointment, whose service had already been regularized. (4) Is there any case, where retired government officials now active in ACAUT, during their active government service and holding high ranking government official post, appointed any persons through backdoor appointment and subsequently got their service regularized.(5) Are the PSAN going to take up the issue of the famous 2008 paper swap scam for civil service, if they are really serious about backdoor appointment.

Bengaluru, Nov 28 (AGENCIES): Former senior Indian Police Service officer HN Sathyanarayana Rao has filed a Rs 20-crore defamation case against Karnataka’s ex-deputy inspector general of prisons Roopa D Moudgil, who alleged that AIADMK leader VK Sasikala received preferential treatment in Bengaluru Central Prison by paying a bribe.

Ex-director general of police (prisons) Rao, who moved the civil court in Bengaluru on Monday, has also included an English newspaper and a regional language news channel in his suit against the allegations made against him by Moudgil.

The parties also demanded that flow of money be checked effectively, besides extravagant expenditure indulged in by some groups, he added.

On electoral rolls, Jyoti said most party representatives expressed their satisfaction, while some demanded that voter slips should not be issued and instead only electoral photo identity card (EPIC) be used for voting.

The CEC said all suggestions and issues raised by the political parties were taken note of and assured that ECI would put into place all steps to ensure that the election was conducted smoothly and in a “free, fair, peaceful and transparent manner”.

(From p-1) ‘Disturbed Area’ was not necessary as the situation was largely peaceful and the Government of India (GoI) was engaged in peaceful and inclusive negotiations with Naga political groups.

“Government of India should do away with the double standard of engaging in peaceful negotiations on one hand and on the other imposing the ‘Disturbed Area’ tag on Nagaland, if it is serious about finding solution to the Naga political problem,” the statement demanded.

M e a n w h i l e, N a galand Pradesh Congress Committee also welcomed the recent judgement of High Court directing the State government to hike the salary of Village Guards from existing Rs 1,500 to Rs 15,000 per month.

“Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee had in recent tour to border districts had committed to raise the salary of Village Guards if voted to power since the existing salary of Rs 1,500 per month was too meagre and gross injustice with the kind of security duties and responsibilities the Village Guards were assigned.

The State Government should honour the judgement of the High Court without further delay,” the party demanded.

On the prevailing law and order situation in Nagaland, the CEC stated that political parties demanded that movement of armed cadres should be curbed as sometimes they took sides and tried to intimidate voters and supporters of rival candidates. Suggesting that intimidations of political agents in polling station be checked, he said the political parties also demanded that re-poll should be considered

by ECI in case of any intimidation.

Jyoti further said the political parties urged ECI to control booth capturing and proxy voting effectively.

Congress,” the BJP leader said.

He said the Congress had also made fun of the poor by portraying the Prime Minister as a ‘chaiwala’.

“The party has made fun of all tea-sellers and it has denigrated India in the eyes of the world. They will have to pay a heavy price (in the elections),” Rupani said.

“This act exposes the Congress mentality that the Prime Minister should be from the Gandhi-Nehru family only. A poor man cannot become the Prime

party wanted her to be.”

Rupani ridiculed as “baseless” Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi’s charge that much of the Narmada river water was given to industrialists.

“Around 78 per cent of the Narmada water is given to nearly 9,000 villages and 167 municipalities.

We have given 20 per cent water for irrigation and only two per cent water to industries. Our first priority is drinking water, second priority is irrigation and the third priority is industries,” he said.

The Chief Minister claimed he had camped in Banaskantha for five days to carry out relief work during this year’s floods while Congress MLAs were enjoying themselves at a five-star resort in Bengaluru.

He said the BJP government had done much for the state’s farmers and trading community and all issues relating to the Goods and Services Tax are being addressed.

New Delhi, November 28(PTI): Congress leader P Chidambaram on Tuesday hit out at the prime minister and said the elections were not about “Mr Modi, the individual” but the promised “achhe din” that had not arrived even after 42 months.

In a series of posts on Twitter, the former finance minister also asked if Modi had forgotten he was prime minister. “Mr Modi’s campaign is about himself, his past and the alleged disdain of Gujarat and Gujaratis.

Has he forgotten he is Prime Minister of India?

“The Gujarat election is not about Mr Modi, the individual. It is about the promised achhe din that has not come in 42 months,” he tweeted. Continuing his attack, Chidambaram said the prime minister does not talk about issues like joblessness, lack of investment, collapse of SMEs, stagnant exports and price rise because he has no answers to the “hard reality”.

According to him, Modi had forgotten that Mahatma Gandhi was an Indian and the son of Gujarat. “Gandhiji was, and is, revered as Father of the Nation; and Gandhiji’s chosen instrument to lead the freedom struggle was the Congress party,” Chidambaram asserted.

The prime minister and the BJP, he added, may now “desperately embrace” Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, “but the redoubtable Sardar had rejected the BJP’s parent RSS and its divisive ideology”.

(From p-1) The CEC asked the State’s Chief Election Officer (CEO) to organise awareness campaigns in this regard.

Jyoti said the representatives of political parties also urged the visiting ECI team to make election observers deputed by the Commission more proactive and take suitable action on complaints lodged with them.

He said the political parties also stressed that the observers should able to speak English so that they could converse with people and understand their issue.

The CEC said the political parties insisted that electorate should be made aware about the steps they should take in case a candidate files a false affidavit.

Ahmedabad, Nov 28 (IANS): Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani on Tuesday accused PAAS leader Hardik Patel of betraying his Patidar community and claimed that the Congress will pay heavily in the assembly elections for portraying Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a “chaiwala” on social media.

“The Patidar fight is no more for a community.

It has become a private affair. The Patidars and the BJP are two sides of the same coin, they will vote for us,” Rupani said at a conclave of India TV here.

Rupani, who took over as Chief Minister in August last year, said the Patidars are well aware that Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) leader Hardik Patel supports the Congress.

“Hardik Patel has betrayed the Patidar community and they have come to know about it now. People are aware of the ‘antiPatidar’ attitude of the

Jaitley said that rather than taking firm decision against debtors the then government relaxed the loan classification norms to keep defaulters as nonNPA account holders.

The asset quality review (AQR) carried out for clean and fully provisioned balance-sheets in 2015 revealed high NPA, the finance minister said.

As a result, he said, loans of about Rs 4,54,466 crore, which were actually fit to be NPA and were under the carpet, were recognised after intensive scrutiny under AQR.

New Delhi, Nov 28 (PTI): The government has not waived any loans of big NPA defaulters, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said Tuesday dismissing rumour that loans of capitalists are being written off by banks.

In a blog, Jaitley said that over the last few days, a rumour is being propagated regarding waiver of loans of capitalists by banks.

Observing that the time has come for the nation to be apprised of facts in this regard, he said one should ask at whose behest the loans, which have turned NPAs were disbursed between 2008 and 2014 by public sector banks.

“The public needs to ask the rumour mongers at whose behest or under whose pressure were such loans disbursed.

The TSPs and the overthe-top (OTT) players have locked horns over the issue of net neutrality. The regulator was debating the issue for almost two years now.

The regulator recommended that for monitoring and enforcement, Department of Telecommunications (DoT) may establish a multi-stakeholder body with framework for collaborative mechanism among the stakeholders.

The TRAI said for monitoring and investigation of violations, a collaborative mechanism has been recommended to be established in the form of a multi-stakeholder body comprising members representing different categories of TSPs and Internet Service Providers, large and small content providers, representative from research and academia, civil society organisations and consumer representatives.

10-25 lakh each.

“There are 1.16 lakh people who have deposited more than Rs 25 lakh in cash after demonetisation in old currency notes but still not filed their returns,” he told PTI here.

“So we have asked them to file their IT returns within 30 days,” he said.

Chandra said 2.4 lakh people had made cash deposits of Rs 10-25 lakh who have not filed returns so far.

“They will also get notices in the second phase,” if they did not file the returns, he said.

The notice is under section 142(1) of I-T Act. The official further said the number of people prosecuted for violating the I-T law has more than doubled to 609 in April- September this year from 288 in the same period last fiscal. The total complaints filed are 1,046 as against 652 in the last year.

The TRAI said Internet access services should be governed by a principle that restricts any form of discrimination or interference in the treatment of content, including practices like blocking, degrading, slowing down or granting preferential speeds or treatment to any content.

The paper said the Internet Access Service Providers may take reasonable measurements for traffic management, provided the same are proportionate, transient and transparent.

“The Telecom Service Providers (TSP) shall be required to declare their Traffic Management Practices, as and when deployed and the impact it may have had on the users. The disclosure requirements shall also include information about specialised services, direct or indirect arrangements entered by them,” the regulator recommended.

New Delhi, Nov 28 (PTI): The Income Tax Department has slapped notices on 1.16 lakh individuals and firms who made cash deposits of more than Rs 25 lakh in bank accounts post note ban but failed to file returns by the due date, CBDT Chairman Sushil Chandra said.

Besides, large cash deposit by people who have filed I-T returns are also under close scrutiny, he said.

The tax department has combed as many as 18 lakh people who had deposited junked 500 and 1000 rupee currency notes of over Rs 2.5 lakh each post demonetisation.

Out of them, individuals and companies who have still not filed their I-T returns were segregated into two categories - those depositing more than Rs 25 lakh in bank accounts and those putting in Rs

“The service providers should be restricted from entering into any arrangement, agreement or contract, by whatever name called, with any person, natural or legal, that has the effect of discriminatory treatment based on content, sender or receiver, protocols or user equipment,” a release issued by the sector regulator said.

It also said the scope of the proposed principles on nondiscriminatory treatment apply specifically to ‘Internet Access Services’, which are generally available to the public.

Hafiz Saeed wants his name off UN terror list Lahore, Nov 28 (PTI): Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed has filed a petition in the UN seeking removal of his name from the list of designated terrorists on the ground that none of the allegations against him – either related to terrorism or otherwise – has been proved in the Pakistani courts.

The banned Jamaatud-Dawah (JuD) head, who carries a USD 10 million American bounty on his head for terror activities, walked free on Friday after the Pakistan government decided against detaining him further in any other case. He was under house arrest since January this year.

Lahore-based law firm - Mirza and Mirza Law Associates – has filed the petition on behalf of Saeed in the UN. Supreme Court Advocate Navid Rasul Mirza, the owner of this law firm, told PTI today that his law firm had recently filed the petition in the UN. “My law firm has filed the petition on Hafiz Saeed’s behalf at the UN seeking removal of his name from its list of designated terrorists. My son Haider Rasul who is director of this firm is looking after this case,” he

said. Saeed, who is accused of having masterminded the November 2008 Mumbai attack that killed 166 people, was placed on the terrorism black list by the United Nations under UN Security Council Resolution 1267 in December 2008. To a question about any progress in the case so far, Mirza said: “We have just filed the petition.” Mirza was Additional Advocate General of Punjab Government (1993-1996) and Prosecutor General for the National Accountability Bureau, a government antigraft body (2000-03).

This is the first time that Saeed has hired a law firm other than that of his permanent counsel Advocate A K Dogar. “In Pakistan, all cases of the JuD chief are being handled by Dogar. This firm to pursue his case in the UN has been hired in consultation with Dogar,” a Jamaat-ud-Dawah office-bearer told PTI. The office-bearer said Saeed has decided to challenge the UN’s decision on the basis of different court decisions since 2009 in which no allegation – either related to terrorism or otherwise – has been proved in the Pakistani courts.

Russia fails to place satellite into orbit M o s c ow, N o v 2 8 (IANS): Russia has failed to place a meteorological satellite into the targeted orbit, state space agency Roscosmos said on Tuesday. “Communication with the spacecraft could not be established during the first planned session due to its absence in the targeted orbit,” the agency said, without giving details. Earlier, Roscosmos announced that Russia had successfully launched a spacecraft carrying 19 satellites from the Vostochny cosmodrome in the country’s Far East, reports Xinhua news agency.

Delighted supporters packed Nairobi’s Kasarani sports stadium but riot police drove back others as they tried to get in. Spectators inside the stadium were entertained by music and dance performances while the military paraded, the BBC reported.

In another part of the city, police clashed with opposition supporters trying to hold a rally. Angry protesters lit tyres, barricaded roads and threw stones at the police and some ruling party supporters in the suburb of Doonholm.

“No Raila, no peace,” they shouted as police lobbed teargas canisters to disperse them.

access to the venue where the opposition had planned to hold a rally.

Opposition leader Raila Odinga, who boycotted an election re-run last month, mocked Tuesday’s “coronation”. Odinga claimed that Kenyatta was elected by just a small section of the country.

Kenyatta was officially re-elected as President with 98 per cent of the vote on October 26. He won the re-run with 7.48 million votes in 266 out of 291 constituencies. The

original election on August 8 was held over again after being annulled by the Supreme Court on grounds of irregularities.

There were scenes of chaos when people without seats tried to rush inside the stadium and were driven back by police with batons, with some officers on horseback. Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn and Rwandan President Paul Kagame were among a number of African leaders who attended the ceremony.

Top Chinese Gen. kills self to escape anti-graft probe Beijing, Nov 28 (PTI): A top Chinese General has committed suicide to escape a probe against him over his alleged links to two corruption-tainted former PLA generals, becoming the first senior army official to have killed himself in the anti-graft campaign of President Xi Jinping.

Zhang Yang, 66, a member of the Central Military Commission (CMC) - China’s highest military body – hanged himself at his home in Beijing on November 23, state-run Xinhua news agency Tuesday quoted the CMC as saying.

In its first comment on Zhang’s death, the Chinese military has termed the suicide as a “shameful” attempt to escape punishment.

An article posted on the website today of the PLA Daily, official mouthpiece of the Chinese military, said “Zhang, a paramount and powerful heavyweight, used such a “shameful way to end his life”. It described his suicide as a “bad move to escape punishment”, the Hong Kong based South China Morning Post quoted the PLA Daily as saying.

Unprecedented power consolidation by Xi ‘triggering anxiety’ Beijing, Nov 28 (PTI): The unprecedented consolidation of power by Chinese President Xi Jinping has triggered “anxiety” about “bullying” by a more assertive China among its neighbours, according to former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The Democratic Party candidate in the last year’s US presidential election also attacked President Donald Trump in dealing with China.

Xi, regarded as the most powerful leader of modern China, heads the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC), the presidency and the military.

The National Congress of the CPC last month has endorsed a second five-year term to him.

“The paths to legitimacy of leadership run through responsible cooperation, not through military build-up, contest in islands or bullying

small neighbours,” Clinton said while addressing a conference of the Chinese news magazine ‘Caijing’ though a video link.

Clinton’s speech was broadcast to hundreds of Chinese business executives and government researchers, the Hong Kong- based ‘South China Morning Post’ reported today.

The 70-year-old Democratic Party candidate, who lost to Trump, took a tough stance in dealing with Beijing over issues such as

sovereignty disputes in the South China Sea and human rights when she served as US secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.

China claims sovereignty over all of the South China Sea. Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Brunei and Taiwan have counter claims.

“When Aung San Suu Kyi was given the Freedom of the City in 1997 it was because she reflected Oxford’s values of tolerance and internationalism,” the city council said in a statement issued late Monday.

“Today we have taken the unprecedented step of stripping her of the city’s highest honour because of her inaction in the face of the oppression of the minority Rohingya population,” added the release, which was published after a unanimous vote.

“Our reputation is tarnished by honouring those who turn a blind eye to violence.”

Francis’ avoidance of the term “Rohingya” and his encouragement for Suu Kyi’s government disappointed Rohingya activists and human rights groups, who have criticized Suu Kyi for what they consider a weak response to the military crackdown. Suu Kyi’s supporters “including the Catholic Church” say she is limited in what she can say against the military and needs more time to bring about reconciliation.

Dame AngelaLansbury Over 33,000 people join FB on women and sexual assault event for Prince Harry’s stag-do T D ame Angela Lansbury has claimed that women “must take some blame” when accusing men of sexual misconduct.

The Murder She Wrote actress, 92, claimed that making an effort to “look attractive” has “backfired” for women and it subsequently explains “where we are today”. The controversial comments come in the wake of a slew of sexual assault allegations that have been levelled against leading Hollywood figures including Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey.

“There are two sides to this coin”, the iconic actress told Radio Times.

‘We have to own up to the fact that women, since time immemorial, have gone out of their way to make themselves attractive.

“And unfortunately it has backfired on us – and this is where we are today.

We must sometimes take blame, women. I really do think that.”

Lansbury also argued

it was “awful” that women should have to run the risk of being sexually assaulted if they make themselves “look attractive”.

“Although it’s awful to say we can’t make ourselves look as attractive as possible without being knocked down and raped”, she added.

“Should women be prepared for this? No, they shouldn’t have to be! There’s no excuse for that.”

Last month, Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein was accused of sexual misconduct by women including Angelina Jolie,

“That’s the most important thing and there’s so many points to be won. You need to carry on for 38 games and show consistency.”

“There can be plenty of twists in the table and you see yourselves climb after two wins then have a draw and fall out of the top four pretty quick. It’s packed in there and I think it will be until the end of the season.”

LO N D O N , N o v 2 8 (Agencies): Petr Cech believes Arsenal could be in contention for the Premier League title come the end of the season despite trailing leaders Manchester City by 12 points going into Wednesday’s match with Huddersfield.

A win would probably still leave the Gunners well adrift of record-breaking City, with Pep Guardialo’s unbeaten side hosting Southampton, but Cech - a four-time Premier League champion with Chelsea - is looking long-term.

“You have to play game by game, not think too much about what’s going on around you because if you win your game then you give yourself a chance,” he said.

Buffon wins best player award gest disappointment in my career together with some (lost) Champions league finals,” said the 39-yearold Juventus goalkeeper at Monday night’s ceremony.

“I’m happy and proud.

I never thought I’d get this kind of trophy, and I’ll hold on tight to it because I’ve never won best youngster!”

Napoli’s Maurizio Sarri was named the best coach in the Italian football awards.

Buffon quit international football last month as four-time champions Italy sensationally missed out on their first World Cup finals in 60 years after a playoff defeat to Sweden on Monday.

“Italy-Sweden was the biggest disappointment of my life,” he told Sky Sports Italia.

“But we need to move on, the season must end in the best way and with Juventus there are so many goals to be achieved.”

Buffon won a tenth Serie A title with Juventus, as well as a third Italian Cup title as well as helping

the Turin side reach the Champions League final for the second time in three years.

And he left the door open on a future return for the national side.

“I’ve taken a period of rest, I’m getting on, I’ve always been a soldier signed up for the national side and Juventus, so I can’t desert,” he said.

“Even at the age of 60, if there was a dearth of goalkeepers I’d be available because that’s how I conceive the idea of a nation.”

It is the sixth straight year that a Juventus player has won the award as he follows Andrea Pirlo (2012- 014), Carlos Tevez (2015) and Leonardo Bonucci (2016).

Buffon has said he will retire at the end of this season, unless Juventus win the Champions League title.

The Serie A champions play league leaders Napoli on Friday before a crunch Champions League game next week at Olympiakos.

Kohli leads pay rise call for India cricketers NA G P U R , N ov 2 8 (Agencies): National team skipper Virat Kohli has demanded a greater share of India’s growing cricket wealth for players ahead of contract talks this week, officials said.

Top players saw their annual basic deals doubled to $300,000 this year.

But the Indian squad, who are due to hold talks with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in New Delhi on Friday, want more after the governing body struck a huge new television deal in September.

The BCCI will get $2.5 billion from Rupert Murdoch’s Star India channel to show the Indian Premier League from 2018 to 2022.

Player contracts expired on September 30 and salaries are one of the key negotiating points.

A senior board official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that “the players want a raise” and that Kohli will lead the talks with former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and current coach

Virat Kohli

Ravi Shastri. They will meet BCCI administrator Vinod Rai in New Delhi to discuss pay and the packed cricket calendar which Kohli has also criticised.

“It’s always healthy to be transparent and that’s what BCCI is trying to be. Kohli and the players are always welcome to put their point across,” the official said.

Rai heads a committee of administrators appointed by India’s Supreme Court to run BCCI affairs and reform the world’s wealthiest cricket governing body.

Currently the national squad has three salary grades, with Kohli and other senior players at the top. “We have modified it and have started a process

where we consult the players,” said Rai. “We had two rounds of consultation and we will do another one just before the Delhi Test,” Rai, former Comptroller and Auditor General of India, added. India start the third Test against Sri Lanka on Saturday.

Rai has backed Kohli’s criticism of the scheduling of tours and the issue is expected to be discussed at the meeting.

Kohli had hit out at BCCI, ahead of the second Test in Nagpur, for better planning of tours, especially ahead of an important series in South Africa starting in January.

India will finish their home series against Sri Lanka on December 24 with the third Twenty20 before leaving for South Africa on December 28.

Kohli is to be rested for the one-day games against Sri Lanka.

They are to play a two-day warm-up match starting December 30 before taking on the Proteas in the first Test from January 5.

Pune, Mumbai look to continue winning momentum Pune, Nov 28 (IANS): FC Pune City and Mumbai City FC will resume their rivalry at the Balewadi Sports Complex here on Wednesday following identical starts to the Indian Super League (ISL) season.

Both teams lost their opening games, with Mumbai going down 0-2 to Bengaluru FC and Pune tasting a 2-3 defeat at the hands of Delhi Dynamos.

The Maharashtra clubs hit back with victories, with Pune especially impressive in their 4-1 demolition of ATK in Kolkata.

Pune coach Ranko Popovic said he was disappointed that his team couldn’t win their first game at home but at the same time, he was incredibly pleased with their showing against the defending champions.

“It was a very crucial and important step for us to get our first three points and we will try to do the same at home. But it was especially important because this club doesn’t have a great record at winning away games,” the Serbian said.

The 50-year-old had stated before the tournament that he will ask his players to play entertaining football and while that was not the case in their opener, they surely produced some brilliant moments against ATK. “Even in the pre-season, apart from the first

match, we had goals in every other game. It was more a case of concentration than anything else. And we will try to do the same: score lots of goals, but in football you can never say what will happen,” he said.

Mumbai’s Alexandre Guimaraes will have to be cautious of the attacking threats of Pune City, especially Emiliano Alfaro and Marcelinho, who have both got two strikes each already.

The Chilean acknowledged Pune’s attacking prowess and hinted that his players will be careful on match day.

“The goals that they’ve scored came from very precise attacks. And when

a team can do that, you have to make sure you don’t make mistakes because then they will punish you,” he said.

But at the same time, Guimaraes added that his players were coming into the game with a “different confidence”.

“Winning at home is always great and it is understandable that it gives the players a different confidence because they got the result they fought for,” he said.

Guimarães has been a master at organising his

team in a tight formation but admitted that like most other managers, he is also trying to find “the right mix” in his team going forward into the season.

Mumbai will not be able to take comfort in another home game since they travel to Kerala next while Pune can hope to capture the imagination of their fans with back-to-back matches at Balewadi.

Points from these two games will only consolidate their position in the top four as Pune already sit pretty in second position.
