Ayodhya case: SC reserves verdict Nagaland becomes first NE State to commission SMP Correspondent

NEW DELHI, OCT 16 (PTI): The Supreme Court on Wednesday wrapped up the 40-day hearing in the decades-old temple-mosque dispute in Ayodhya— the second longest proceedings in its history— and reserved its verdict in the politically sensitive case that is expected in a month’s time.

The concluding day of the marathon hearing during which Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi heading a 5-judge Constitution bench observed “enough is enough” was marked by high drama when Rajeev Dhawan, a senior counsel for the Muslim parties, tore a pictorial map provided by Hindu Mahasabha purportedly showing the exact birth place of Lord Ram in Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh.

The high voltage hearing in the Ram Janambhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute involving 2.77 acres of land is the second longest after the landmark Keshvanand Bharti case in 1973 during which the proceedings for propounding the doctrine of basic structure of the Constitution continued for 68 days.

The bench, also comprising SA Bobde, DY Chandrachud, Ashok Bhushan and

Global Hunger Index: India behind Nepal, Pak, B’desh NEW DELHI, OCT 16 (PTI): India is ranked 102 of 117 countries in the Global Hunger Index 2019, behind its neighbours Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Seventeen countries, including Belarus, Ukraine, Turkey, Cuba and Kuwait, shared the top rank with GHI scores of less than five, the website of the Global Hunger Index said on Wednesday. The report, prepared jointly by Irish aid agency Concern Worldwide and German organisation Welt Hunger Hilfe termed the level of hunger in India “serious”.

In 2018, it was ranked 103 out of 119 countries. In 2000, the country was ranked 83 out of 113 countries.

Now, with 117 countries in the fray, it has dropped to 102 rank. India’s GHI score has also decelerated -- from 38.9 in 2005 to 32 in 2010 and then from 32 to 30.3 between 2010 and 2019.

Neighbouring countries like Nepal (73), Sri Lanka (66), Bangladesh (88), Myanmar (69) and Pakistan (94) are also in the ‘serious’ hunger category, but have fared better at feeding its citizens than India, according to the report.

This is it!

SA Nazeer, came out with schedules for hearing more than once and the arguments, which were first fixed to be concluded by October 18, was advanced to October 17, but on Wednesday, it decided to wrap it up saying “enough is enough”.

The bench is racing against time since the verdict has to be delivered before Justice Gogoi demits office on November 17.

It also granted three days to contesting parties to file written notes on ‘moulding of relief ’ or narrowing down the issues on which the court is required to adjudicate.

The hearing was marked by heated exchanges

between the lawyers of the Hindu and Muslim sides and midway the issue of settling the dispute through mediation once again cropped up.

The first mediation bid failed to find an amicable resolution leading to commencement of day-today hearing from August 6. Later, the panel, which comprised FMI Kallifulla, a former apex court judge, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, founder of Art of Living Foundation and Sriram Panchu, an acclaimed mediator, was allowed to continue mediation proceedings. The panel was believed to have submitted its report to the court on Wednesday.

Dhavan created a flutter after he took strong objection to senior advocate Vikas Singh, appearing for a faction of All India Hindu Mahasabha, relying on a site map and books written by foreign and Indian authors to buttress claims that the central dome of the now demolished structure was the birthplace of the deity and asked the bench as to what he should do with map.

The bench said he can shred the documents into pieces. Dhavan then tore the pictorial map in the courtroom.

The drama did not end and during post-lunch session, Dhavan made a reference to his action and said “outside the court, it has become viral”. “The news that has become viral is that I on my own tore the papers,” he said.

Dhavan said he had asked and sought the permission of the bench whether those papers can be thrown and the reply from the CJI was “if it is irrelevant, you can tear it”.

CJI shot back saying, “Dhavan is right that the chief justice said, so he tore up. Let this clarification also be widely reported.”

DIMAPUR, OCT 16 (NPN): Rain accompanied by severe storm on Tuesday lashed Naghuto Old and Naghuto New villages under Atoizu sub-division in Zunheboto district damaging properties worth several lakhs.

According to sources, several houses were damaged, trees and plantations and electric polls were uprooted by the ravaging storm.

Several paddy fields were also flattened. A government primary school at Naghuto New village was also partly damaged.

Additional Deputy Commissioner Atoizu inspected the villages to take stock of the situation and assess the damages and report to the higher authorities.

KOHIMA, OCT 16 (NPN): With the inauguration-cumcommissioning of septage management unit (SPU) at Dzürüzou Merima here on Wednesday, Nagaland has become the first Northeastern State to commission septage management plant (SMP).

Adviser for Urban Development and Municipal Affairs Dr Neikiesalie Nicky Kire officially inaugurated and commissioned the project. The project was taken up in the Northeast as part of the NE Region Capital Cities Development Investment Programme (NERCCDIP) by Government of India (GoI) through the Union ministry of housing & urban affairs (MoHUA).

In his brief address, the advisor thanked all the people involved in commissioning the SPU successfully and exuded confidence that just as GoI and Asian Development Bank (ADB) had come forward to generously finance it, he appealed to Kohima Municipal Council (KMC) to handle the project carefully.

He remarked that people in the State Capital experienced unpleasant feel-

ANCSU appeals for early settlement of Naga issue DIMAPUR, OCT 16 (NPN): All Nagaland College Students’ Union (ANCSU) has appealed to the Governor of Nagaland for an early settlement to the long pending Naga political issue “not obliviating the sovereign rights of the Nagas.”

In a memorandum addressed to the Governor of Nagaland, ANCSU president Katho P Awomi and general secretary Vimeyiekho Vitso stated that the “decade long pending Naga Political issue has put doubts and fears in the minds of the Nagas”. ANCSU, however, stated that the assignment given to him to address the Naga issue as the Interlocutor and as the Governor of Nagaland has “once again revived the hopes of the Nagas for an early settlement.”

Stating that the Government of India over the years had “deliberately” not prioritized the Naga political issue, ANCSU has appealed to the Government of India to recognize and acknowledge the unique political rights of the Nagas.

ANCSU further maintained that settlement should be honourable and acceptable to the Nagas. It hoped that government of India would not “deviate from its commitment to solve the Naga issue.”

Not an agent or tool of GoI: WC, NNPGs DIMAPUR, OCT 16 (NPN): Working Committee (WC), Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) has clarified that it was not an agent or tool of Government of India (GoI).

Referring to such a “preconceived notion”, the committee in a statement asserted that it comprised of remarkable Naga leaders from different Naga tribes and political entities, “all with great patriotic dreams and visions inherited from forefathers”. It said its leaders understood that Nagas could not remain enslaved to the past. Mentioning that lessons learnt from the past was sufficient, WC pointed out that Indian military invasion and occupation brought much misery to the people in the early decades, while Naga leaders’ ego and pride wiped out a generation in the later decades.

The statement explained that seven Naga political groups were together because Naga people desired unity, stressing a divided people could not build a nation.

WC existed because it was the call of the Nagas and the future must be secured. There were no ego problem, personal ambitions or desires among NNPG leaders either for present or post solution period. There was constant consultation on all major issues with Naga civil societies, tribal hohos, hereditary village elders, intellectuals, the church and peace mediators. All political matters were then thoroughly deliberated within WC prior to talks, the statement added.

According to WC, after 57 rounds of political dialogue in a span of three years, GoI and Nagas were

now on the threshold of a new beginning. With an acceptable and honourable solution, it said it believed a robust future lied ahead for “our children”.

With 90,000 Naga youth registered as unemployed in Nagaland and asking question on his/ her wretched social and economic condition, the committee asked who was responsible for this mess.

After 22 years of political talks, when a Naga from Arunachal Pradesh, Assam or Manipur declares that Nagaland will cease to exist and replaced by people’s government of Nagalim, WC stressed it was time for Nagaland tribes and inhabitants to wake up from slumber and pinch themselves if they were alive. It also meant Nagaland tribes had grown weak, timid and weary from

shouldering Naga national cause since the conflict began. Decades of serving and sharing meals in the morning and at night with Naga brethren from other Naga areas in the name of Naga cause was a thankless job, it added.

Calling upon Nagas not be carried away by propagandas being churned out to confuse “our people” and to ensure demographic invasion of Nagaland, WC asserted that Nagaland could not accommodate Naga brothers from other States without integration.

The committee asked Nagaland inhabitants who thought otherwise to demonstrate their generosity by demarcating their own fertile lands first, subject to approval by their tribes, for donation to landless brothers from other Naga areas.

ing during rainy season as many citizens were careless with release of wastes from their septic tanks, which also affected human health.

He hoped that with septage plant equipped with the capacity to process 90 kilo litres per day (KLD) of septic waste every day, Kohima would soon become healthier, cleaner and more environment-friendly.

Appealing to KMC to maintain the eight cesspools, Kire asked the municipal authority to check and ensure that its employees performed their duties with sincerity and dedication, adding the attitude of regular government employees who took their responsibilities casually should also be taken to task.

He stressed on proper handling of SMU to avoid pollution in KMC dumping area, while adhering to the prescribed standard for avoiding any complication.

In her technical report, chief engineer (R&B) Limanaro said State Investment Programme Management and Implementation Unit (SIPMIU), functioning under the State urban development department, was the implementing agency of SMU, which was supported

Laundering Act (PMLA) and his statement was also recorded under this same provision, they said.

The ED subsequently sought 14-day custodial interrogation of the former Union minister from a court here.

The Congress MP has been grilled by the ED in this case many times in the past but it had never arrested him as he enjoyed a court-issued order of directing the agency not to take coercive step like arrest against him.

Sources indicated that Chidambaram will now be put through some fresh evidence, obtained from offshore jurisdictions, and confronted with the statement of other accused in the case once his full-time questioning begins, after the grant of custody.

Statements given by the accountant of his son Karti and those of others will be put across to him. It is understood that the ED investigating officer will seek answers from him regarding certain foreign-based assets linked to the Chidambaram family including those attached by it in the name of Karti.

Last year in October, it had attached assets worth Rs 54 crore of Karti Chidambaram, in India, the UK and Spain, under the PMLA. The agency is also working to file its first charge sheet or prosecution compliant in the case and it may include Chidambaram’s forthcoming statements too.

Anglo-Kuki War monoliths run into trouble M’laya led by an ‘incompetent’ CM : Cong Correspondent

Correspondent

IMPHAL, Oct 16: The centenary commemoration of the Anglo-Kuki War has run into trouble with objections pouring in to Kukis erecting memorial stones that reads “In defence of our ancestral land and freedom.”

Referring to the Kuki’s rebellion against British colonial forces from 1917-’19, the community is celebrating its centennial commemoration on Thursday.

Many a civil society organisations including Tangkhul Naga Long (TNL), All Manipur United Clubs Organisation (AMUCO) have been raising objections against the inscription of words “In defence of our ancestral land and freedom” in the memorial stones erected at Kuki areas in connection with the commemoration of the historic event.

The pressure groups demanded that the words ‘ancestral land’ inscribed on memorial stones be removed.

Taking serious note of the matter and considering brewing tensions, Manipur government has been trying to settle the issue by holdings talks with Naga as well as Kuki based civil bodies.

The state government had also taken up the matter with the Union home ministry so that it can be raised

One such memorial stone in Ukhrul

with Kuki based armed groups engaging in tripartite peace talks with Centre and state governments.

Objecting to the inscription of “ancestral land” in memorial stones, FoH, a conglomeration of the indigenous communities of the seven clans of Manipur comprising of 24 ethnic groups, said it will create misunderstanding among the communities living together in harmony in the state since time immemorial.

Addressing a news conference at Manipur Press Club, Imphal, FoH appealed state chief minister N Biren

Singh not to attend the commemoration function considering the sensitivity of the issue.

FoH president Sapamcha Jadumani observed that Kukis should not claim the state as their ancestral land in the name of commemorating the events of 1917-19.

While urging the state government to intervene in, he demanded that if Kukis were allowed to use the words it will create tensions among the communities living in the state.

He informed that FoH has also submitted a memorandum to the Union home

minister Amit Shah in protest against the contentious words inscribed on the memorial stones.

FoH working president Ramthing Hungyo reiterated FOH’s appeal to the chief minister not to attend the commemoration function and warned that if the chief minister attended the function, it will invite communal violence in the state.

FOH further revisited the history and claimed that it was not war but rebellion that forefathers of Kuki had waged against the British and Kukis using the word “war” was irrelevant.

Jadumani reminded that the Kukis were once known as Khongsai and the historic event was not against the British but to dethrone the then king Churachand Maharaj of Manipur organised by Chingakham Sanajaoba who was the elder brother of the then king (Churachand Maharaj).

Chingakham Sanajaoba was set to have mobilised the Khongsai (Kukis) as his soldiers to revolt and dethrone British appointed king (Churachand Maharaj).

If the revolt against a king is taken as war and remembered as Anglo-Kuki war, it will pass a blur history of Manipur to the generation to come, he observed.

FoH or any other organisations were not against the Kukis settling in the state as FoH’s motto was living together in harmony among the different communities in the state.

At the same time, he alleged that Kukis never think of Manipur as their land saying despite living in the state, they demanded their separate homeland or territorial council.

This shows that they are able to think of the state as their land, he claimed.

Mention may be made that homeland for Kukis was raised by Kuki National Organisation and United People’s Front (UPF), the umbrella bodies of Kuki based armed groups engaging in tripartite peace talks with the government of India and Manipur government.

Supporting the president, FoH working president Ramthing Hungyo said rebellion broke out to wrest for kingship of Manipur and no war was fought.

“It would be right to call it “Kuki-Anglo rebellion,” he added.

Anglo-Kuki War Centenary Commemoration Committee had recently announced that the centennial commemoration of the Anglo-Kuki War 1917-1919 will be held at C Aisan village in Kangpokpi district on October 17.

SHILLONG, OCT 16: Dubbing the ruling Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA) government as “incompetent”, the Leader of Opposition, Mukul Sangma said that there has been sudden fall of development in the state.

“Contractors have stopped their works because their dues have not been released. Even for centrally sponsored schemes, they have not been able to submit utilization certificates against the money released by the Central government,” the former Chief Minister told reporters.

The veteran Congress leader added: “even people from other parties have admitted that development

process in the state has come to a standstill.”

Terming the MDA as the most ‘incompetent’ government led by an ‘incompetent’ chief minister, he said, “People now are saying we have a Facebook chief minister, who led an incompetent government. This is the narrative of the common people and not my version.”

Exuding confidence that the people of Shella Assembly constituency will elect Congress candidate Batyngshaiñ Ryngnga in the bypolls, Mukul said because leaders and parties associated with the present government are indulging in hollow promises.

“People want the momentum of development that has been witnessed in the preceding years and the

benchmark that has been set in respect of the quantum of investment for diverse developmental initiatives,” he said adding that there has been sudden fall of development in the state.

“This is the concern of the people and based on this, these are issues which are being part of the political discourse in this bye election,” Sangma said.

On late Donkupar Roy’s role in Shella constituency, Sangma said, “Roy got long innings and opportunities since 1988. But if you visit the constituency and look at the privileges and opportunities that he had been vested with to respond to the expectations and aspirations of the people, I feel people have reasons to grumble,” he said.

Mortal remains of Archbishop Jala to reach Shillong Correspondent Shillong, Oct 16: The mortal remains Archbishop of Shillong Archdiocese, Rev. Dominic Jala, who was killed in a tragic car crash at San Francisco in US on October 10, is likely to reach Shillong by Tuesday or Wednesday, former Union Minister Vincent Pala said on Wednesday.

Pala rushed to San Francisco to coordinate with the Indian Consular office in order to ensure smooth transfer of the mortal remains from California to Shillong.

“The Colusa County Coroner completed their autopsy and the body has been transferred to McNary-Moore Funeral Home. The Indian Consulate’s office in San Francisco is in touch with the Funeral

Home and the body of our Archbishop will be ready to be released to be airlifted to India once all the official consular documents have been completed,” a Church official in Shillong said.

On the other hand, Pala said “if everything went as per plan, the mortal remains of Archbishop Dominic Jala may be transported on Saturday from USA to reach Guwahati by Tuesday or Wednesday.”

“I know many people are anxiously waiting for the news about the body of the Archbishop but nothing has been finalised as of now. We hope to get the dead body released today (Wednesday) from the government, and handed it over to the agency which will prepare for it to be sent to Guwahati directly, ” Pala added.

Chakmas, Hajongs regularly tortured: NCAT Probe ordered into death of ‘Bangladeshi’ inmate in Assam died in Diyun police station on October 16 2014, Diganta Saikia (33) died in police custody on November 24, 2017. Raj Kumar Chakma allegedly committed suicide in the lock-up of Diyun police station on September 3 this year, he said.

“The custodial deaths at Diyun is a systematic and institutionalised discrimination against the Chakmas and Hajongs, who live in the area and license given to the police for lawless law enforcement,” Chakma said.

“Though the Supreme Court has declared the Chakmas and Hajongs as citizens in its judgment on 6 January 1996 and many of the descendants of the migrants are citizens by birth and have been voting as citizens, the methods of law enforcement have not changed,” he added.

“The Chakmas and Hajongs remain extremely vulnerable to torture as it is known to the law enforcement personnel that neither the State authorities nor the State political leaders shall ever intervene for them,”

GUWAHATI, OCT 16 (IANS): The National Campaign Against Torture (NCAT), a conglomerate of NGOs working to stamp out torture, said that Chakmas and Hajongs of Arunachal Pradesh regularly face persecution, even at the hands of state police. The NCAT on Wednesday released its report, “The State of Torture in Arunachal Pradesh”. It also alleged that the Diyun police station in Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh has become the torture chamber of the state.

“Diyun police station is one among the 104 police stations in the state.

However, out of the 15 custodial deaths in the state during 2009 to 2019, the Diyun police station had disproportionate share of two custodial deaths. Another person had allegedly committed suicide in the police station,” said Suhas Chakma, Coordinator of the NCAT. Giving details of the custodial deaths, he said that while Pintu Chakma (26)

Royalty, dynasts, stars enliven Maha polls

Mumbai, Oct 16 (IANS): Besides the ordinary street-smart professional politicians, there are several others who have taken the political plunge for the October 21 Maharashtra Assembly elections.

They include royalty, like descendents of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, a descendent of Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak, a mafia don’s daughter, some film stars -- and even a scribe desirous of creating headlines. *Shivendrasinhraje Bhosale, a descendent of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj clan, who recently quit the Nationalist Congress Party to join the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, has been nominated from the prestigious Satara constituency.

A three-time MLA, Bhosale’s father Abhaysinhraje Bhosale had also represented the seat once on a Janata Party ticket, four times as a Congress candidate and once as a NCP nominee.

Bhosale Jr. is now challenged by his former (NCP) party colleague Deepak Pawar, making it a direct battle between a royal and an ignoble, or one of the most interesting contests to watch out in the state. *The BJP has nominated its high-profile Pune Mayor Mukta Tilak -- the wife of Shailesh Tilak --

who is the great-grandson of the freedom fighter, Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak.

She is locking horns with the Congress’ Arvind Shinde for the Kasbapeth seat in the city, which is referred to as the state’s cultural, academic and IT capital.

Interestingly, both are already rivals in the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) as senior municipal corporators, though for Tilak, it will be a matter of prestige to retain the seat held for 25 years by Girish Bapat, who was elected to Lok Sabha in the 2019 polls. *Well-known Marathi actress Deepali Jehangir

Sayyad and Kurla-born ‘Mumbai-chi Mulgi’ has been given a Shiv Sena ticket to challenge NCP’s former minister and National Spokesperson Jitendra Awhad from the Mumbra-Kalwa seat.

Sayyad had earlier contested the 2014 Lok Sabha elections unsuccessfully from Ahmednagar as an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) nominee and has now walked over to the Sena. *Another controversial actor Ajaz Khan of Bigg Boss fame is contesting the Byculla seat as an independent, challenging two mega-rivals - All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen’s

sitting MLA Waris Pathan and also Akhil Bharatiya Sena’s Geeta Gawli.

Incidentally, a BMC corporator, Geeta Gawli is the eldest daughter of the once-dreaded mafia don Arun G. Gawli, a former MLA who is now incarcerated for life in Nagpur Central Jail. *Abhijee Bichukale, the Marathi Bigg Boss contestant, who shot to headlines when the Satara Police stormed into the house set and dragged him away kicking and screaming, for a cheque-bouncing case in which he was absconding.

Hoping to cash in on his glamour persona, Bichukale is an independent

challenging the might of none other than Shiv Sena scion Aditya Thackeray in Worli seat in what appears to be a contest heavily tilted in favour of the latter.

As if this was not enough, Bichukale is also contesting the Satara assembly seat as an independent against Shivendrasinhraje Bhosale.

The maverick actor -- who has contested in the past all elections from the municipal bodies to the President -- has propped up his wife Alankruta Bichukale against the BJP’s Udayanraje Bhosale, for the Lok Sabha by-election in Satara.

The sitting Satara MP, Udayanraje Bhosale, a direct descendent of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, quit the NCP for ‘ghar-wapasi’ to his original party BJP in September. *Another important contest is taking place in Goregaon (Mumbai Suburban District) between BJP Minister Vidya Thakur and journalist-turned-politician Yuvraj Mohite, nominated by the Congress.

It was way back in 1993 when - as a rookie reporter - he had reportedly overheard the late Shiv Sena patriarch allegedly ordering his supporters to attack minorities in the aftermath of the demolition of the Babri Mosque on December 6, 1992.

5 EAC starts No prejudice to Chidambaram fighter ops for 6 if bail hearing deferred: CBI civilian airports Kolkata, Oct 16 (PTI): The Eastern Air Command (EAC) started a fighter plane operations exercise from six civilian airfields in its area of operations, including Pasighat in Arunachal Pradesh and Kolkata, from Wednesday, a Defence official said.

The other four airfields hosting the operations are Dimapur in Nagaland, Imphal in Manipur, Guwahati in Assam and Andal in West Bengal.

The exercise, part of capability build-up and operational training from dispersed locations in case of hostilities, is to be held in two phases, the official said.

It is being held in Guwahati, Imphal, Dimapur and Kolkata airports in the first phase between October 16 and 19, while Andal and Pasighat will host the exercise in the second phase from October 29 to November one.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) will use SU-30 MKi multi- role air superiority fighters and Hawk 132 jets in this exercise.

The exercise will familiarise the IAF crew with the procedure of flying at these busy airfields and coordinate with civilian counterparts, the official said. The exercise will also help in familiarising the civilian functionaries at these airfields in the conduct of military operations.

Initially, the court agreed to hear it during the recess at 1.30 p.m. on Thursday but on Mehta’s insisting, deferred it for Friday.

New Delhi, Oct 16 (IANS): The Central Bureau of Investigation told the Supreme Court that no prejudice will be caused to former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram if his bail plea will be heard on Friday as he had been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in separate INX Media money laundering case.

Appearing for CBI, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told a bench headed

by Justice R. Banumathi that he has taken five minutes break from the Constitution bench to come to this court.

Apologising to the court, he said that he is before the constitution bench and requested to defer Chidambaram’s bail hearing in the INX Media case for Fri-

day. “No prejudice would be caused to the other side as he (Chidambaram) has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate today,” Mehta said.

“Is this a matter which cannot wait for even a day?” he said, arguing that there is no “exceptional circumstance” in the former minister’s plea seeking bail in the case for the court to hear it during the lunch break.

Initially, the cour t agreed to hear it during the recess at 1.30 p.m. on Thursday but on Mehta’s insisting, deferred it for Friday.

Chidambaram was arrested on August 21, and he is currently lodged in the Tihar jail, under judicial custody, till October 17 in the case.

Jalna (Maharashtra), Oct 16 (IANS): In the sharpest attack yet on the opposition, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday accused the Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party of always speaking against “national interest”.

Addressing an election rally here this afternoon, he said that while the Congress is “family-centred”, the NCP is mired in all types of corruption and both parties have lost all semblance of nationalism.

“Whether it was during the surgical strikes or the Balakot air attacks or the recent abrogation of Article 370 and 35A for Jammu & Kashmir, they have always opposed it and spoken against the country or its national interest,” Modi thundered.

He said nobody would dare to speak out against the country, against the army or against our soldiers who sacrifice their lives fighting terror, but the Congress-NCP have consistently done this.

“In all matters concerning the country’s interests, its the duty of all people, political parties and leaders to speak unitedly in once voice... If they have any regards for nationalism, they should go wherever the Article 370 is buried and cover it with a shroud,” boomed Modi.

Earlier this week at an election rally, Modi had thrown a challenge to the opposition parties to declare in their manifestos for the Maharashtra election and future polls that they would revert to the scrapped legislation.

Politics over faith

W

hat the ongoing Ram mandir issue in Ayodhya, UP indicates is the potent of communal divide when politics hijacks inter-religious issues. The Ram mandir issue has been used by political parties such as Congress and BJP, who have played with fire for political gains and which has today pushed the nation to the brink of communal divide. The Ram mandir issue had been ignited earlier by the Congress governments which presided over every Hindu encroachment on the mosque, from the smuggling in of the idols in 1949, to the opening of the gates of the mosque to regular Hindu worship in 1985, to its demolition in 1992. The Ayodhya dispute is over 2.77 acres of land in the Uttar Pradesh town, which many Hindus believe was the birthplace of Lord Ram. A 16th Century mosque, said to have been built

by Mughal Emperor Babur that stood at the spot was, torn down in December 1992 by right-wing Bajrang Dal kar sevak activists, triggering communal riots.

There are no two opinions that in the year 1528 a mosque was built by Mir Baqi, one of the Governors of the Mughal Emperor Babar. In 1949 after the idols were smuggled inside the Mosque, there was another round of litigation, which virtually ignored the title and turned the court into a receiver of the property giving the Hindus increasing access to the property as and by way of right to worship, while the Muslim community was denied the access in spite of the fact that the property was a waqf property. After the locks were opened in 1986 on the ground that there would be no problem maintaining law and order , the Hindu nationalist forces were spured into demanding more.

The Sangh Parivar maintains that this mosque was built after destroying a Ramjanmabhoomi temple, whereas the Muslims as well as most reputed historians of integrity insist that there is no credible proof that there was any Ramjanmabhoomi temple. Presently, a five-judge Constitution bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, is slated to conclude hearings and then give its judgment on November 17, the day the CJI retires. For, if the Supreme Court bench does not decide the case before Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi retires on November 17, the matter would be back to square one. As per convention, a Supreme Court bench that hears a case also delivers verdict in the same case. If a judge retires before the case is adjudicated, a new bench is constituted and the matter is heard afresh. The Ram mandir issue is not only about a dispute but also how politics has taken centre stage over religion which has turned very principle of secularism as enshrined in the Indian constitution upside down. The court judgement over ancient history could also open up similar demands over various Mosques purportedly constructed over mandirs or mandirs constructed over Buddhist shrines or over Jain temples. All these are history and a vow to “correct the wrong of the past” is absurd. The world cannot thrive over righting the wrongs of the past since that is past. If the same yardstick were to be applied, then Jews and Christians should demand demolition of Mosques built on their religious places of worship such as the Dome of the Rock, Mosque of Job and the mosque built in 1266 over the Herodian shrine.

DailyDevotion The Key to the Master’s Orders

Pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. —Matthew 9:38 The key to the missionary’s difficult task is in the hand of God, and that key is prayer, not work— that is, not work as the word is commonly used today, which often results in the shifting of our focus away from God. The key to the missionary’s difficult task is also not the key of common sense, nor is it the key of medicine, civilization, education, or even evangelization. The key is in following the Master’s orders— the key is prayer. “Pray the Lord of the harvest….” In the natural realm, prayer is not practical but absurd. We have to realize that prayer is foolish from the commonsense point of view.

From Jesus Christ’s perspective, there are no nations, but only the world. How many of us pray without regard to the persons, but with regard to only one Person— Jesus Christ? He owns the harvest that is produced through distress and through conviction of sin. This is the harvest for which we have to pray that laborers be sent out to reap. We stay busy at work, while people all around us are ripe and ready to be harvested; we do not reap even one of them, but simply waste our Lord’s time in over-energized activities and programs. Suppose a crisis were to come into your father’s or your brother’s life— are you there as a laborer to reap the harvest for Jesus Christ? Is your response, “Oh, but I have a special work to do!” No Christian has a special work to do. A Christian is called to be Jesus Christ’s own, “a servant [who] is not greater than his master” (John 13:16), and someone who does not dictate to Jesus Christ what he intends to do.

Our Lord calls us to no special work— He calls us to Himself. “Pray the Lord of the harvest,” and He will engineer your circumstances to send you out as His laborer.

Post-mortem

Nagas quest for solution - will history repeat again

T

he very essence of the Naga political movement is rooted in the steadfast belief that Nagas, hitherto living as independent village republics, should be integrated under a single administrative structure, a national government. Though seemingly divided by different languages of Naga tribes, our pioneering leaders in their God-given wisdom, understood without a doubt, the science and rationale of Naga nationhood. On this foundation, under the banner of NNC, the movement grew to bring all different Naga village republics into a single national platform and to fight for our inherent rights - sovereignty and self-determination. It is this belief and commitment that has helped the Nagas overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. The years of struggle that have been anchored upon the blood, sweat and toil of innumerable sacrifices have now ushered the Nagas into a threshold moment. It is incumbent upon all of us to ensure that the magnitude of the moment is not lost on us. Every possible care must be taken, every extra

I

n few weeks, the NNPGs may seal their final deal with the government of India if RN Ravi fails to convince NSCN to sign without flag and constitution. Few leaders who are preparing to celebrate today, overshadowed by sheer hatred towards the Nagas outside the present Nagaland state may have to start thinking for a good reason why they have to accept a solution that further divides the Nagas. With due respect to all the parties involved in the talk, i.e., NNPGs and the government of India, I am compelled by my instinct to share some truths that are transpiring within the close door. If I am not able to share things I know that will be detrimental to our society then I see no reason for me to live and die in solemnity. The catastrophe ahead of us will be the biggest every Naga can ever imagine. The fight shall no longer be with our real enemy but a showdown between two Naga groups; IM & K versus NNPGs with the support of Indian government. All these years, either loyally or by forced, Nagas irrespective of the artificial boundaries have being giving our moral and material riches so that they fight for our sovereignty.

And today after amassing wealth at the cost of blood, sweat and tears, they wish to surrender yet use the word ‘contemporary realities’ and fasten on a deal more dangerous than ‘Shillong Accord.’

A paradigm shift is in the making of the Naga political movement. The NNPGs were given an option; a) to work with government of India and terminate all the groups who are against NNPGs and government of India. or, b) Failing to abide by the fist option, government of India would release their hands from NNPGs, in doing so, they were question on their probabilities of survival even for a week from the hands of NSCN K & IM. Interestingly, they chose to work together as the offer was too good for them to be true. Having agreed upon to work together, certain terms and conditions were laid down. Of the few, there are three main points which would decide the future for each and every one of us if agreement is to be brought about by the NNPGs and government of India. The three points are: 1) Seven

mile walked and every option must be explored as we prepare for new and better horizons.

Against all odds, starting with our Naga “Magna Carta” – the Memoradum submitted to the British Simon Commission in 1929 by Naga Club, our leaders have established our undisputable historical facts - facts from which the movement has been (and still is) gaining momentum.

These range from the declaration of Naga Independence (14thAugust 1947) and its timely intimation to UN, and the plebiscite of 1951.

Significantly and of more recent times, Naga leaders have succeeded in reaffirming its rightful claim that the Naga issue is a political issue to be resolved at the highest level, without any pre-conditions and in the presence of third party.

The unique history and situation of the Nagas has been understood, recognized and accepted.

On the back of all these factual legal history, it is the most appropriate time for Nagas to come together and decide our common future.

battalions of Border Security Forces. 2) Power to legislate and execute during the interim Period. 3) Special economic packages.

Three battalions for the state of Frontier Nagaland and other four battalions for the state of Nagaland which shall comprise of present seven districts. It is verbally agreed upon that the service rules and regulations shall be framed by the NNPGs and it shall be the guideline for 10 years. After the expiry of ten years, common rule of Border Security Forces and Ministry of Home Affairs shall prevail. It shall work as rehabilitation for all the cadres and also an opportunity to recruits relatives, sympathisers, and the unemployed youth. These battalions shall be responsible for protection of all the active and retired NNPG leaders, and also if situation so demand, shall defend the union of India from anyone who do not recognised Indian sovereignty in Nagaland.

NNPGs demanded that the interim period should be two years, as one year time proposed by the government of India is too less.

The Working Committee proposed the Convener of the NNPG to be the CEO or the Chief Minister during the interim period having the authority of a full-fledged state Chief Minister. However, no concrete plan is taken and the matter is kept in abeyance. Convener, Coconvener and Emissary have consented to the demand of Eno. Wanting Konyak, Brigadier (Retd.) Nokpao Konyak and Lt. Gen. (Retd.)

Khango Konyak for state of Frontier Nagaland. Eno Wanting Konyak is likely to hold the office as the first CEO or Chief Minister as per the arrangement of the NSCN Unification, Reformation and Khangoo group.

However, the eastern Naga leaders from NNC are adamant with the plan of Eno Wanting Konyak leading the new state or union territory.

The special economic packages will have projects such as; roads, stadiums, buildings, institutions and many more which shall be solely overseen by the NNPGs. However, there is also a special arrangement of Rs. 500 crores in cash, which shall not be accountable in any court, department or ministry. The advance payment of Rs. 130 crores, three weeks ago to deal

The tragic consequences of playing divisive politics in the last seven decades underscore the urgency and importance of moving forward comprehensively, and the time is ‘Now’.

The Naga people consisting of more than sixty tribes numbering over 3.5 million and spread across 1,20,000 sq kms covering four Indian states and two countries have stood by one another in the worst of times. We survived!

Out of sheer courage, determination and unity. At this fortuitous moment, all these sacrifices cannot be just wished away for the interests of certain sections of people. In such a glorious background, it is but natural for us to note with a sense of consternation at some impending developments. One among them is the Interlocutor and Nagaland state Governor’s letter No.18/GOIR/ NPT/2019, calling for a consultative meeting with “the primary stake holders”. There seems to be something that more than meets the eye. We re-affirm that all Nagas, irrespective of geographical location or size, are equal primary

stake holders in the Naga journey and struggle. However, selectively inviting only some organizations indicates an insidious design to further divide the Nagas not only along state boundaries but also on the basis of geographical location, size and political allegiance.

We have strong reservations against such blatantly divisive overtures.

Phizo’s definition of Naga land ~ where there are Nagas compactly in the hills or in the plains, there is Nagaland - must be kept in mind, when we sit down at the negotiating table and ink for honourable and lasting solution.

May we once again remind all and sundry that signing any political agreement at this juncture in the form of another 16-Point Agreement or Shillong Accord, which were at best merely dictates of the GoI, will only bring more division and trigger another fratricidal situation among the Nagas which we strongly feel will not be in the best interest of India in the long run as well.

We have been through that before and have no wish to undergo such unfortunate

Lotus-Eaters

within the ranks and files of the disarrayed cadres and also warm the pockets of; political leaders, tribal leaders, frontal organisation leaders, church leaders and all the people who have the possibilities of obstructing the solution has rather became a matter of contention among the groups.

Convener and Co-convener took the amount with some members from the agencies and when they were to distribute among themselves, questioned of equality and equity came into picture.

Two groups who do not even have twenty (20) active army cadres want the cash to be equally distributed among the NNPGs regardless of the size and cadres, while the contract works, projects and other special privileges to taken by the group having more numbers. However, the groups with more cadres want the cash to be distributed according to the size and number of cadres while the contract works, projects and special privileges are to be distributed equally among the groups. Lately, discontentment within the groups is becoming visible due to the authoritative leadership style of a particular community. Some have secretly met Indian agencies sharing their unhappiness in the distribution of the advance payment of Rs. 130 crores, reminding us of the story of the two cats and a monkey.

Clash of opinions for having the upper hand in sealing the agreement has arise within the various Presidents and Prime Ministers on the basis of seniority, education and the size of the group. A particular group, supposedly to be the biggest among the conglomerated claimed to have five hundred (500) active armies yet gave a name list of only one hundred and twelve (112), giving the excuses of security concern. And thankfully, the list submitted are all officers, maximum were: Lieutenant Colonel, Major and Captain, with fifty-nine (59) in total and the smallest rank they have is two (2) sergeants. Other fifty-one (51) cadres are from various ranks starting from Brigadier to Sergeant Major. Any common man having basic idea on army formation and hierarchy will know the abnormality with the list. It is amusing that they were able to submit the complete details of the officers; spouse, children name and their

educational institutions, permanent address, present address, number of arms and types of arms attached, etc., yet, they hide the list of the privates, corporals and lance corporals for the sake of security reasons.

Eno Tikhak, Ato Kilonser of Reformation group has openly shown despondency towards his President and Vice President. As a Tangsha Naga from Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh, he is left out from any kind of settlement besides the

ordeals again.

Of late, GoI taking advantage of the Nagas weaker and smaller situation, has been promoting the emergence of many state centric divergent views and opinions based on regional and tribal lines towards signing of an Indo-Naga political Agreement. We are constrained to reiterate that giving pressure to any NPGs to sign political settlement without proper consultation will create further chaos among the people; and at this point in time, we do not need any process that could be disruptive in nature.

Mediocre politicking and political expediency must be done away with at this perilous juncture to realize our long cherish dreams and for the sake of future of both India and Nagas.

Therefore to the GoI, it is our fervent plea that it should immediately cease the colonial approach of “divide and rule” policy towards the Nagas. We urge GOI to consider and deeply research her conscience and uphold the essence of ‘Shared Sovereignty’ by recognizing the Nagas to retain the visages of the flag and Yezabo, as it enters to the final agreement

with the GOI. The final agreement must not end in a fiasco but an actual accomplishment towards mutually acceptable settlement. To the Nagas, as “A house divided against itself cannot stand” it is our fervent plea that we all work together in unison and refrain ourselves from engaging in any process that could entail sending out contradictory worldviews and causing further divisions within the Naga family.

monetary gain. The Nagas from south and from eastern Nagaland (Myanmar) who are active in NNC are left with confusion as to what the solution would be for them as they are not in the radar of the negotiating parties. Some Tenyimia leaders of Naga National Council have clearly shown their apprehensions on the possibilities of resurrections of Revolutionary Government of Nagaland (RGN) if the Convener led the interim government. The plan by a particular community to

rename Dimapur and make it as the working capital has been rumoured for some time. The land from Sikipito (Pherima) - Jalukie -Intangki - Dimapur valley - Ralan area is in the pipeline as the new centre for development under the leadership of Eno Ketovi Zhimomi, Eno Isak Sumi, Eno Akato Chophy, Eno Azheto Chophy, Eno C.

Tribute to a genuine Naga Christian (M. Kikon)

L

ike many other Nagas, I might never have known him, had it not been God’s providence of throwing us together in similar jobs, way back in the early 1980s in Meghalaya. Uncle M. Kikon had been a senior officer in the Excise department of Nagaland when he resigned from his high office and came to Shillong to serve God as Director of World Vision for North East India. I was then serving as Managing Director of the Pine Brook Society which was sponsored by TEAR FUND England.

From the very first time I met him, I liked uncle Kikon because he was a genuine and original Nagaupright, honest, straightforward, hard working, a very good cook, good gardener and all the other qualifies

that made up for a good Naga. I was then a young man in my mid 20s and it was through him that I first learned about the rampant corruption in the state of Nagaland that was eating away the integrity of Nagas and their proud heritage of honesty and hard work. In fact, it was this suffocating atmosphere that made him to resign though he was not far from becoming Commissioner of the Excise department in Nagaland.

Then in order to stop him, the Devil began to strike him with one crisis after another. First, he lost his sense of smell from a vehicle accident while on his way to my house at Barapani. Next his handsome and very healthy face was disfigured through cancer.

But all these tragedies never deterred him from serving

his Lord. I particularly remember how he used to carry a bag full of coins when we toured many parts of India together. In every train station or street corner, every Indian beggar got his share of the coins!

As far as I know, he was a man who gave and gave, all his life. And it is indeed amazing that despite his cancer, God granted him another 35 more years to serve him as founder of the Pilgrim School at Dimapur.

My wife and I carry many fond memories of our association with his family at Shillong. May the Lord grant comfort to all of uncle Kikon’s family members.

As for me, I learned about his death from the Nagaland Post only this morning i.e.

Reader’s Post

Sir,

Seeking reply from SBI Bazaar Mokokchung

I am a Pensioner above 90 years now. I draw my pension from SBI Bazar, Mkg for the last several years. On 6th Sept 2019, I received an SMS that from this year, 80 years and above Pensioners/Family Pensioners are permitted by the Govt. of India to submit Life Certificate from 1st October instead of 1st November to be valid till 30th November of next year.

Immediately after receiving this SSMS, I asked my son to rush to the said bank and get the Life Certificate Form. But my son came back and told me that the Accountant told him that there was no such order from the Higher Authority till date.

I received another SMS on 4th Oct 2019 on the same subject once again. So I sent my son again to the said bank for the Life Certificate Form but this time also the same official of the bank gave the same reply that there was nothing from the higher authority in this through local papers so as to avoid further regard.

Incidentally, I happened to visit Allahabad Bank, Mkg on 14th Oct 2019 for some work. I was surprised to see an order pasted in the cashier’s counter informing all above 80 years to submit the Life Certificate from 1st Oct 2019 onwards.

Therefore, through this write up, I seek a reply from the SBI Bazar Mkg that if there was no such orders kindly clarify to us your stand on this issue so to avoid further unnecessary harassment to us.

80 years and above pensioners, Mokokchung Reader’s note: Articles or letters published in any of the columns do not reflect the view of this newspaper nor that of the Editor in any manner.

‘RSS active in 90% of blocks in India’

Manmohan Vaidya (File)

at the Centre with 303 seats in 2019 has only strengthened the RSS -- and not the other way round. In fact 2018 was the best year for the Sangh so far.

Vaidya said RSS is active in 90 per cent of the blocks. Students and youth are running 60 per cent of all shakhas of RSS. This partially explains the rise of vote-share for BJP among the first-time voters.

The number of shakhas run by individuals above the age of 40 years is just 11 per cent.

Ever since, the Modi government came to power in 2014, the rise of RSS has been unprecedented. From 2014 to 2016, on an average 90,000 to 95,000 requested to join the RSS, while 1.25 lakh wanted to join the saf-

Not an agent or tool of GoI: WC, NNPGs

recognising political and historical rights of Nagas to “self-determine their future in consonant with their distinct identity in November 2017, WC said this was one historical document that resonated the assertion and sentiment of Mahatma Gandhi that Nagas had every right to be independent and clearly evoked the spirit and essence of May 16, 1951 Naga plebiscite.

New Delhi, Oct 16 (IANS): Indian Navy’s bid to acquire state-of-the-art Naval Multi-Role Helicopters (NMRH), to deal with security challenges in the Indian Ocean Region, has assumed urgency after China displayed its indigenously developed Z-20 choppers earlier this October.

Defence experts said, there also occurs a net deficit in terms of numbers of multi-role helicopters in India to guard surface ships which are being delivered with great frequency now by our indigenous ship-building industry. Without the requisite integral air elements in the form of multi-role choppers, surface ships are exposed to submarine attacks which are the real threats in Naval warfare.

The UK-made Seaking choppers, inducted into Indian Navy around 40 years ago for purposes of antisubmarine warfare and antisurface vessel warfare, are ageing, besides the fact that they never underwent upgrades after induction. The

Sea Harriers, designed for reconnaissance and fighter roles too, have been decommissioned leaving Indian Navy to just one frontline squadron of Seaking helicopters based at INS, Shikra in Mumbai. As per experts, the urgency of acquiring the NMRH should not be lost even though it is for the decision-makers to decide whether the acquisition should be made through imports or through indigenous manufacturing.

The Navy has been using the maritime patrol aircraft, the US-made P8I, for surveillance purposes since 2013. As per reports, a deal has been finalized by India with the US in September to acquire 10 more of the long-range anti-submarine warfare platform P8I. “The P8I, though a formidable platform in its own capacity, cannot deliver the functions of a multi-role helicopter. A multi-role helicopter, for instance, can operate from ship decks out at sea, perform anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface vessel war-

fare, electronic intelligence, surveillance tasks, carry out urgent attacks, operate independent of shore bases for extended duration and act as the along arm of the fleet’.

The multi-role helicopter can deploy sono buoys, which are basically high-fidelity alistening devices’ in water, just like the P8I does. In addition, dunking sonars can be lowered underwater using cables - role only a multi-role helicopter can fill.

Remember, a submarine has no weapon against a helicopter,” retired Commander KP Sanjeev Kumar, a former navy test pilot, told IANS. Chinese news agency Xinhua reported on October 10 that China’s new indigenously developed Z-20 chopper made a demo flight during a four-day helicopter exposition that was held in Tianjin city. As per sources, the Z-20 is a clone of the USmade Sikorsky H-60 Black Hawk helicopter, which China has built by acquiring technology through ‘reverse engineering’. Sources said the Hindustan Aeronautics

Limited (HAL) is conducting an internally funded study for the NMRH, a project which is still on the drawing board. In August 2017, the Indian Navy had floated a global Request for Information (RFI) for 123 Naval Multi-Role Helicopters. But a deal is yet to be closed despite the shortfall in numbers. A multi-billion dollar deal is further in process to procure 23 multi-role MH-60R Seahawk choppers, which are produced by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation of the US. “But 23 choppers will not suffice for the needs of the Indian Navy. It was decided that the 123 NMRH will be developed in India under the strategic partnership model. If import has to be ruled out, the strategic partner, that is, the original equipment manufacturer has to be identified first. The urgency of acquiring the NMRH should not be lost in the corridors of the defence ministry,” said a former Navy official on the condition of anonymity.

be worked out. During the O&M period, KMC personnel will be trained to manage the facility. Limanaro said since its operation from July, about 3.85 lakh litres (83 trips) of septage collected from the State Capital had been treated in this plant.

KMC administrator Kovi Meyase

and Merima Village Council chairman Kelhoupralie Whuorie also spoke on the occasion. The programme was chaired by principal secretary Urban Development & Municipal Affairs, Himato Zhimomi. Meanwhile, Kire also flagged off cesspool vehicles after the function.

Congress can’t take stand on nationalism: Shah Tigaon (Haryana), Oct 16 (PTI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday attacked the Congress over Article 370 and accused it of not taking a stand on nationalism because of vote bank politics.

Addressing a poll rally at Tigaon near Faridabad, Shah said it was only the Narendra Modi government which abrogated the special status for Jammu and Kashmir under Article

370, making the region an integral part of the country.

The BJP president said several prime ministers before Modi did not dare to take a decision on nullification of Article 370.

He said while the BJP and several other parties supported its abrogation, the Congress opposed it.

He accused the Congress of not taking a stand on the issue of national-

ism because of vote bank politics.

Shah asked the Congress to clear its stand on Article 370. “They will not speak because they like power and the vote bank,” alleged Shah.

“Because of Article 370, Pakistan used to mislead the youth of Kashmir and give them arms. From 1990 till now, over 40,000 people became victims of terrorism in Jammu and

Kashmir,” he said.

The BJP leader accused the previous Bhupinder Singh Hooda-led government of indulging in shady land deals.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi too has brought up Article 370 during his recent election rallies in Haryana and Maharashtra.

Assembly elections will be held in the two states on October 21.

(From p-1) Nagas had killed each other enough in the name of freedom, while in the name of negotiation for 22 years Nagas had faced much hardships, including unlimited taxation and extortion.

Apparently the issue of constitution and flag were raised only in the 21st year of negotiation, while GOI was firm that these were issues that Nagas could pursue post solution. Naga tribes, GBs and civil societies had urged for an early solution, pleading contentious issues be kept for future democratic process.

Now, if this appeal of Naga tribes went unheard, WC cautioned that it would mean the negotiation was not for the people and therefore Nagaland should be left undisturbed because It was unwise to play emotional, sentimental and patriotic card at all times, without tending to wailing and dying generations of Nagaland.

Referring to New Delhi

fron outfit in 2017.

The number rose to 1.5 lakh in 2018 and 1.3 lakh by September this year.

Vaidya also said Ram temple is not a political issue for the Sangh. He called it a matter of “desh ki astha” (matter of faith for the country), while speaking at Bhubaneshwar. Interestingly, his comment comes on a day when Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi said: “Enough is enough,” while hearing the title dispute of Ayodhya and at the end of the day’s hearing the Supreme Court reserved judgement in Ayodhya title dispute at the close of the arguments.

The Sangh heavyweight once again backed the Modi government on the abrogation of Article 370, citing its “temporary” nature in the Constitution.

The Indian government had abrogated the contentious Article that gave special powers to Kashmir, on August 5 this year.

He also took a dig at the Mamata Banerjee administration while calling murders of people belonging to the “nationalist fray” as “unfortunate”.

B h u ban e s h wa r , Oct 16 (IANS): The RSS has seen a sharp rise both in number of shakhas and in popularity among the youth, ever since the Narendra Modi swept to power in 2014. In fact, RSS’ Saha Kar yavaha Manmohan Vaidya claims that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is active in 90 per cent of the blocks across the nation.

Speaking at Bhubaneshwar, on the sidelines of Akhil Bhartiya Karyakari Manda, Vaidya gave out statistic to back his claim.

At present there are 57,411 daily shakhas and 18,923 weekly meetings held across the length and breadth of the country, a rise of more than 50 per cent since 2010.

In the year 2009, a plan was made to expand the Sangh’s footprint, said Vaidya, adding that due to this, shakhas have been continuously expanding since 2010.

After 2010, there has been a total increase of 19,584 shakhas, he added.

In fact, from 2010 to 2014 there was an increase of about 6,000 shakhas.

Turkey won’t enter Kobani: Erdogan to Trump Washington/Tehran, Oct 16 (IANS): Turkeys president promised the United States leader that Turkish forces would not enter the Kurdish enclave of Kobani, located on the border with Turkish territory, said a US Senator.

“I was part of a phone call yesterday between President Erdogan and President Trump where President Trump received a commitment from the President of Turkey to stay away from the Kobani area to prevent further escalation in Syria,” US Senator Lindsey Graham - one of the main supporters of the US president in the Senate - said on Twitter, Efe news reported.

“If Turkey continues to move and take Kurdish areas around Kobani, I will take this as a breach of President Erdogan’s promise and a major escalation,” the Republican lawmaker said. “I am certain Congress and the Administra-

tion will hold Erdogan personally responsible for any atrocities committed in and around Kobani,” he added.

“My advice to Turkey is stop before you completely destroy the relationship between the United States and Turkey.”

US Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will travel to Ankara in the next 24 hours to negotiate a ceasefire that will end Turkey’s military operations against the Kurds in the north of Syria, Trump announced Tuesday.

A senior US official declined to detail in statements to journalists if Pence would meet with Erdogan and simply said that the purpose of the trip was to negotiate a ceasefire and show the Turkish government that the US was upset with its offensive in northern Syria.

The Turkish offensive, which began October 9, is directed against the Kurd-

Kiwis to take part in world’s biggest earthquake drill

The annual drill is to remind people of the right action to be taken during an earthquake which is to drop, cover, hold.

Wellington, Oct 16 (IANS): New Zealand Minister of Civil Defence Peeni Henare said on Wednesday that hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders will join about 65 million people around the globe in ShakeOut, the world’s biggest earthquake drill on Thursday.

The annual drill is to remind people of the right action to be taken during an earthquake which is

to drop, cover, hold, and to practise their tsunami evacuation if they are in a coastal area, reported Xinhua news agency.

“All of New Zealand is at risk of earthquakes and all of our coastline is at risk of tsunami. We can’t predict when one will happen, or where we will be, but we can protect ourselves and our whanau by practising what to do,” Henare said.

groups, said the official.

Erdogan said Monday that he would continue with his plans to take control of a strip of territory across northeastern Syria, despite the announcement that the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has sent troops to curb the offensive.

The Turkish president assured that he had spoken with the Russian executive and that he had given his approval to expand the offensive towards Kobani and the Manbech region.

“It looks like Turkey’s operation won’t have any problems in Syria’s Ayn alArab as Russia also showed a positive approach,” Erdogan said.

Iran urges Turkey to stop military offensive in Syria

Iran on Wednesday urged Turkey to end its military operation in northern Syria.

The Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Ja-

vad Zarif said that all the relevant concerns in the border region of the two countries should be addressed through Adana agreement, Xinhua reported. He also called for the protections of civilians against any “unnecessary suffering”.

Based on Adana agreement, Syria is committed to rejecting the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which is considered as a terror group by Turkey, EU and the US, and to prohibiting its operation against Turkey from Syrian soil.

Damascus would cooperate with Ankara in taking measures to assure that the PKK would no longer be welcome in Syria, according to the Adana agreement.

Following recent US withdrawal from northern Syria, Turkish soldiers have launched an assault on Kurdish fighters, whom Turkey considers as “terrorists” in northern Syria.

Car bomb blast in Afghanistan, many feared killed

Henare stressed recent events have reinforced the importance of knowing what to do in an earthquake or when there is a tsunami threat.

“Since 2016, we’ve experienced one massive earthquake and two local source tsunami -- The Kaikoura earthquake and tsunami in November 2016, and the East Cape tsunami, two months prior in September 2016).”

“We’ve also learned even more about seismic risks such as the Alpine Fa u l t , t h e H i k u r a n g i Fault, and the Kermadec Trench.”

“The ShakeOut drill will help make the Drop, Cover Hold actions second nature, while giving us a chance to practise our tsunami evacuation routes,” Henare said.

Henare will be doing the drill Thursday at 13:30 p.m. local time with students at Evans Bay Intermediate School in Wellington.

After the explosion affected several people and damaged buildings, security forces cordoned off the area.

His deputy, Tánaiste Simon Coveney, said earlier that “big steps” were needed on Tuesday “to build on progress that has been slow” because there would be no haggling over the details of the text once the summit began.

The two-day EU summit is crucial because, under legislation passed last month -- the Benn Act -- the UK Prime Minister must get a new deal approved by MPs by Saturday if he is to avoid asking for a delay.

The UK is due to leave the EU at 23:00 GMT on October 31 and Boris Johnson has said that deadline must be honoured.

dominated the game with ball possession in the midfield area however; Centurion FC got the better of them with counter-attacks as Chang beat the goalkeeper Neithovilie Chalieu in the 11th minute to fire home the lead.

Despite a series of attempts, MTYO could not break through the Centurions solid defense, who stood firm heading away cross after cross to keep the team in the driver’s seat.

MTYO’s captain Khriese was culpable for not scoring despite the chances he got to convert into the back of the net.

The best chance for

Medziphema team fell to Alfred Chawang in the second half when his longrange free-kick was tip-off the ball out of the danger zone by the Centurion goalkeeper Medophrezo Kezieo. While custodian Chalieu also made some crucial saves bringing much joy to the visiting fans in the ground.

A goal was then disallowed in the 83rd minute by the referee for an offside position where Centurion FC team protested against the decision which halted the match for about 30 minutes. However, the match resumed thereafter but yielded little clear

cut chances as the Centurion hold on the lead to go through the final for the second consecutive time in the tournament.

Liverpool’s Alexander-Arnold claims Guinness World record LO N D O N, O C T 1 6 (AGENCIES): Trent Alexander-Arnold’s name is officially in the record books with the Liverpool rightback snaring a place in the 2020 Guinness World Records collection.

The 21-year-old contributed an incredible 12 assists for the Reds last season in the Premier League to set a record for the most provided by a defender in a single season.

To make the achievement even sweeter, Alexander-Arnold has replaced Everton duo Andy Hinchcliffe and Leighton Baines as the new record holder in the process.

While 2018-19 was a very impressive campaign individually for the England international, he was quick to pay tribute to his teammates, with Liverpool falling just one point short of the league title.

“It’s an honour. I’ve always wanted to go forward and help the team to create as many chances as possible,” Alexander-Arnold said via The Mirror .

“It’s obviously down to the lads to put the ball into the back of the net, because football is a team game and without them this record wouldn’t be possible.

Trent Alexander-Arnold

“It’s an unbelievably proud moment for me and my family, and something I hope will stand for a few years.”

Alexander-Arnold also singled out two defenders in particular for allowing him to set the record.

Liver pool left-back Andy Robertson ended last season with 11 league assists himself, while Virgil van Dijk allowed both full-backs to get forward as he starred at centre-back. “[Robertson] probably thought he had the competition wrapped up!” he said.

“Near the end of the season we both hit really good form, we were both getting lots of assists and it was good to help the team in those games that we needed to win.

“[Van Dijk] is a worldclass player and the best I have played with. We benefited a lot last season knowing we have players like Virgil giving us the protection behind us.”

The Reds right-back has begun the new season where he left off and already has two league assists to his name after eight matches.

Alexander-Arnold isn’t the only footballer who’s had their name added to the Guinness World Records book for 2020.

Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe features for being the youngest player nominated for the Ballon d’Or, while Atletico Madrid ace Joao Felix has been honoured for being the youngest player to score a Europa League hat-trick.

Apropos to the press release given by Kohima District Truck Owners’ Drivers Union in Capi dated 5/10/2019, I seek to clarify that in the “Rejoinder / Kelakeshü” in Capi publication dated 7/10/2019 the statement, “Thukeshü pete kemeda die zo” was meant to clarify that the accusation against me stating that I initiated the tax collection above Loyola Higher Secondary School is totally baseless and did not mean to refute all other collection as false by the said statement. My intention was never to mislead or encourage any illegal taxation, except to clear my stand. I apologize for unintentionally offending the concerned organizations and unions.

And further state that I have nothing to do with the Petroleum and Land Transport Worker Federation. Hence, I urge the KDTODU to verify the same from the competent authority.

Spain clinch Euro 2020 berth Indian Jr men’s hockey team in final of Sultan Johor Cup

Spain’s Rodrigo Moreno celebrates after scoring against Sweden at the 2020 European Championship.

STOCKHOLM, OCT 16 (IANS): Rodrigo Moreno’s goal in stoppage time gave Spain a 1-1 draw against Sweden to assure La Roja of a berth in the 2020 European Championship.

The Spaniards lead Group F with 20 points from eight matches, while Sweden is second on 15 points. Romania sits third with 14 points, followed by Norway with 11, reports Efe news.

Spain came into Tuesday’s contest at a packed Friends Arena in Stockholm after experiencing their first stumble of the qualifying campaign: a 1-1 draw with Norway in Oslo.

The visitors set the pace from the start and Swedish goalkeeper Robin Olsen had a busy first half, turning aside a shot by Fabian and denying both Rodri and Gerard Moreno

from point blank range.

La Roja enjoyed 71 percent possession and Sweden’s first chance didn’t come until after the 20-minute mark, when Mikael Lustig forced a stop from David De Gea. The Swedes began to have more of the ball and De Gea was tested in the 33rd minute by a Robin Quaison header.

Swedish defender Victor Lindelof made a diving block when Fabian threatened for Spain just before the break and the sides went to the dressing rooms deadlocked 0-0.

The home side took the lead five minutes after the re-start courtesy of Marcus Berg’s first international goal in more than a year.

De Gea stopped Berg’s header as well as Emil Forsberg’s effort on the rebound, but the ball ended up back with Berg

and the keeper was helpless to stop it from going in the net.

The Spain keeper made another notable stop against Forsberg before leaving the match injured with 30 minutes left.

That Forsberg effort proved to be Sweden’s last threat of the night, yet Spain struggled to convert their dominance into an equaliser.

La Roja still trailed at the end of regulation time, raising the possibility that they would be held scoreless for the first time in 38 matches.

Two minutes into stoppage time, Rodrigo nudged Fabian’s low blast into the net to avoid the loss and guarantee Spain’s presence in next summer’s tournament.

Sweden can clinch the second spot in Group F with a win over Romania next month in Bucharest.

NWA belt and freestyle wrestling rescheduled

DIMAPUR: The Nagaland Wrestling Association (NWA) informed that the state-level selection (belt and freestyle wrestling) has been rescheduled to October 19 at Indira Gandhi Stadium, Kohima due to some unavoidable cir-

cumstances.

Director Youth Resources and Sports, Akumla Chuba will grace the opening session as the special guest at 10:00 a.m., informed a press release from NWA general secretary Vekhozo.

JOHOR BAHRU (MAL AY S I A ) , O C T 1 6 (IANS): The Indian junior men’s hockey team today sealed their berth in the final of the 9th Sultan of Johor Cup after an emphatic 5-1 victory over Australia at the Taman Daya Hockey Stadium here on Wednesday.

The clinical performance saw goals from Shilanand Lakra (26’, 29’), Dilpreet Singh (44’), Gursahibjit Singh (48’) and Mandeep Mor (50’).

India had a first sight of goal in the opening minute courtesy of an Australian mistake. A misjudgement off an aerial ball meant Gursahibjit was clear on goal in the circle.

Robert Maclennan was quick to come off his line though and block the angles, before clearing the ball to safety. For the rest of the quarter, both teams wrested for control in midfield, the Aussies earning the first PC of the game in the eighth minute, a mistrap putting paid to their chances to score.

Early in the second quarter, Prashant Chauhan was called into action. Off a swift attack, Michael

Francis’ shot was deflected

by Sam McCulloch towards goal.

Chauhan was alive to the danger though, pulling off a reflex save to keep the scores level. India earned their first PC of the game minutes later, but Gursahibjit dragged his attempt wide.

India were soon coming closer to scoring the opener, and sure enough, in the 26th minute they

had the lead courtesy a Shilanand Lakra goal. The move was kicked off from a counter, Dilpreet Singh’ inch perfect pass unlocking the entire Aussie defence.

The ball fell to Lakra in the circle, who had time to go around a charging Maclennan to score and give India the lead. Right at the end of the quarter, Australia almost hit back, with a succession of PCs, but Chauhan again saved

superbly to keep his team in the lead. Off the second PC, India launched a counter, and it was the Dilpreet-Lakra combination again causing havoc in the Australian defence, the latter scoring a simple tap in to double India’s tally.

India went into half time leading 2-0.

Despite being two goals up, India didn’t take their foot off the pedal in the third quarter, their full

press causing Australia all sorts of problems. They had the pick of the chances too in the period. Shilanand Lakra, Sudeep Chirmako and Uttam Singh applied the pressure, forcing saves off Australia’s substitute goalkeeper Christian Starkie.

In the 44th minute, Dilpreet Singh had his reward for his brilliance throughout the game. This time the pass came from Gursahibjit Singh, finding Dilpreet at the base of the circle. Dilpreet turned, swerved and unleashed a superb reverse hit into the far corner to give India a 3-0 lead. It was one they took into the final break.

India earned a third PC at the start of the third quarter, and Sanjay’s drag flick was deflected by Gursahibjit to extend India’s lead. Mandeep Mor added more gloss to the scoreline with a superb drag flick in the 50th minute. Aaron Knight scored a consolation in the 57th minute for Australia as India wrapped up a 5-1 victory. India will face Great Britain in their final round robin leaguestage match in Johor Bahru on October 18.

India’s performance was no match to atmosphere at Salt Lake: Chhetri KOLKATA, OCT 16 (PTI): India captain Sunil Chhetri on Wednesday said the team’s underwhelming draw in the FIFA World Cup Qualifier against Bangladesh was no match to the electrifying atmosphere at the Salt Lake Stadium here.

A last-gasp Adil Khan header saved India the blushes as the higher-ranked fancied hosts struggled to a 1-1 draw here on Tuesday night, disappointing thousands of heads totting the stands at the mecca of Sunil Chhetri Indian football.

Hours after the game that of the campaign so far, Chhetri exturned out to be the team’s worst pressed his disappointment.

“We couldn’t deliver a performance to match the atmosphere at the Salt Lake last night, and the dressing room is very disappointed about it,” Chhetri, one of the leading scores in international football, tweeted.

He said the team couldn’t make use of the opportunities, but no less mediocre was India’s defending.

“We couldn’t capitalise on the chances we got, but this is a process on the pitch and in the stands. You turned up, we’ll keep attempting to.”

India came into the game high

on confidence after holding Asain champion Qatar to a goal-less draw away. However, the result was far from what Igor Stimac’s wards had expected in the run-up to the match.

Saad Uddin gave Bangladesh the lead in the 42nd minute and the visitors looked like going back home with all the three points in the Group E match of the qualifying second round.

Khan, however, ensured that India secured a point from the home game as he rose high to nod home a Brandon Fernandes corner kick in the 88th minute.

Yashasvi youngest to score List A double hundred

Yashasvi Jaiswal

ALUR (KARNATAKA), OCT 16 (IANS): Mumbai opener Yashasvi Jaiswal on Wednesday scripted history as he became the youngest batsman in the world to score a double century in List A cricket.

At 17 years and 292 days, Yashasvi scored 203 runs during the Vijay Hazare trophy Elite Group A match between Mumbai and Jharkhand. His 154-ball inning, which was studded with 17 fours and 12 sixes, helped Mumbai post 358/3 at the KSCA Cricket Ground.

This was his third century in the ongoing tournament. He has so far amassed 585 runs in five matches

and is also the leading run scorer of Vijay Hazare Trophy, taking over from Tamil Nadu’s Baba Aparajith.

With this feat, Yashasvi has also become the seventh Indian cricketer to score a double century in List A cricket. Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Rohit Sharma (thrice), Shikhar Dhawan, KV Kaushal and Sanju Samson are the other Indian cricketers who have scored double hundreds in List A cricket.

Sanju last week scored a double hundred in the ongoing tournament when he played a scintillating 212run knock for Kerala against Goa on October 12.

No trials for Mary Kom, hints boxing federation

NEW DELHI, OCT 16 (AGENCIES): Boxing Federation of India (BFI) president, Ajay Singh, on Tuesday suggested that there might be no selection trial between MC Mary Kom and Nikhat Zareen in the 51kg category for participating in the Tokyo Olympic qualifiers in Wuhan from February 3 to 14 and that the 36-year-old Manipuri veteran could possibly be the BFI’s automatic choice for the China event, reported Times of India.

There was big controversy back in August when BFI did not let Nikhat Zareen compete against Mary Kom at the trials for the World Championships, paving the way for Mary Kom to secure selection without even entering the ring.

Singh, speaking to TOI on the sidelines of a felicitation function here for the medal winners from the recent women’s World Championships in UlanUde, Russia, informed that there could be a “rethink” of the BFI’s selection rule in the women’s category, which states that only the gold and silver medal winners at the Worlds will receive automatic nomination for the Wuhan qualifiers.

Lovlina Borgohain,

MC Mary Kom who secured her second successive bronze medal in the 69kg category at the Worlds, too, might be exempted from trials. Mary Kom also ended up winning a bronze after losing 1-4 to Turkey’s Busenaz Cakiroglu in a controversial manner. Both the 51kg and 69kg divisions are Olympic weight categories.

Singh said, “We will do whatever is required.

There could be a rethink, for sure. We will look at the policy and see who is better prepared at that time to get us a medal at the Olympics.

We have no hard and fast rule on this.”

“For me, Mary Kom did exceedingly well at the Worlds. She defied her age and motherhood. In fact, she was a clear winner to me in the semis, which she lost,” he added.

Ahead of the Worlds, BFI had come up with a selection policy for both the men and women boxers. It said all the medal winners (gold, silver and bronze) in the men’s section at the Yekaterinburg Worlds will automatically be selected

for the Olympic qualifiers, without having to undergo trials.

However, for the women’s, the criteria only included the gold and silver medallist at the Worlds.

Singh expressed his displeasure at having two separate rules for men and women.

“I am not even completely clear on this. The rules should be same for everyone. As a matter of principle, I will never accept that rules are any different for men and women.”

Singh hinted that there was some lack of communication between his office and the selection committee, inferring that he wasn’t consulted by selectors before framing the rule. “There seems to be some issue of understanding.”

Mary Kom, on her part, said she will go by what the president decides and that she was already looking forward to the Wuhan meet.

“The president is the right person to take all decisions. I’ll go by whatever he says. I am already looking to give my best at the qualifiers. I have been dreaming of competing in Tokyo for last many years and was preparing accordingly,” she told TOI.
