lice complex Thursday. The meeting was the first of state leaders with NNPGs WC after the latter was formally invited by government of India to be part of the peace process in September.

Talking to Nagaland Post over the phone, Zeliang disclosed that he and Kaito impressed upon the WC of NNPGs that presently, it was the best opportune time for the Nagas to come together and work out a formula for a final settlement for Naga political issue as that would eventually decide the fate of Naga people in general.

We also conveyed to the Working Committee (WC)

for the need to resolve the Naga issue once and for all and not piecemeal, Zeliang said. “Why I say this is the best opportunity for the Nagas is because all the groups are for solution and at present there is no opposition in the assembly”, said Zeliang.

The chief minister said he and Kaito had assured the NNPGs that if they were serious about the final settlement then the government would approach the NLA Speaker to summon all the 60 members for discussion in the legislature forum and then take a political decision towards settlement of Naga political issue.

NPP sets eyes on Nagaland Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, OCT 19 (NPN): National People’s Party (NPP), founded by former Lok Sabha Speaker, late PA Sangma, is all ready to set its foot in Nagaland.

The party is likely to be launched by October end, sources informed Nagaland Post.

Sources said that NPP president and Lok Sabha MP, Conrad Sangma had been approached by various groups including some senior politicians to launch the party in Nagaland.

However, sources said, NPP was looking for fresh faces to lead the party and contest the 2018 Assembly Elections as well.

“Though there are many interested persons wanting to be part of the party setup, including intending candidates, NPP would be cautious in choosing the right people to lead

the party in Nagaland,” a close aide of Conrad said.

“Everybody in Nagaland wants a change, something new with credible leaders,” he said, adding NPP would be able to deliver to the people the change.

Refuting the reports on social media that Conrad had recently visited Nagaland to meet chief minister T.R. Zeliang and finalize the process to setup the party, the aide said that such report was misleading as Conrad had never come to meet Zeliang.

“Zeliang was in Delhi when Conrad was in Nagaland. He came here to meet those leaders who were interested to join the NPP,” the aide said.

Though nothing had been finalized, it was informed that NPP would be launched by October end, which would initially be headed by an adhoc body.

Zeliang said both of them also made known to the WC that at this crucial juncture, all Naga political groups should forget about the past and think for the present and future generations because all the groups are working for one issue.

Zeliang reiterated that if the NNPGs were serious for solution then the 60 members of NLA including two MPs would also discuss the matter with all seriousness and take a decision in consultation with Naga tribal hohos and other NGOs. “Seventy years of struggle and dialogue for the last 20 years is long enough and it is high time government of India and Naga people think and act for the sake of the present and future generation”, said Zeliang. According to Zeliang, the Working Committee had assured “to stand for solution and not any other agenda.”

The meeting was also attended by WC co-conveners– NNC/FGN kedallo, Zhopra Vero; NNC (parent body) general secretary, V. Nagi; NNC/GDRN president, Kiumukam Yim; NSCN (Reformation) president, Wangtin Naga and GPRN/ NSCN envoy, Alezo Venuh.

Talking to Nagaland Post, Dr. Jamir said he was absolutely fine and had only gone to Apollo hospital for a regular check up.

The 86-year old termed the report as unfortunate, which had also gone viral on social media after an Odisha based news daily published the report. It was reported that Dr SC Jamir was admitted to a private hospital here after he complained of chest pain in the morning Meanwhile, Dr. Jamir on Thursday had posted a video urging all concerned not to worry. “I want to make it very clear to all concerned that I came to Apollo for normal check up.

KO H I M A , O C T 1 9 (NPN): Feud within NPF over which group represents the genuine organisation, presently pending with the Election Commission of India (ECI), has taken another turn when NPF spokesperson, Achumbemo Kikon revealed that NPF( Shürhozelie) has instituted civil suit against the dissident group (Neiphiu Rio group) for impersonating the party president and using party symbol, letter head, nomenclature and flag.

Achumbemo revealed this at the inauguration of the 9th Kohima Town A/C NPF office at PR Hill Thursday. While reiterating that the law will take its own course, Achumbemo asserted that the rebel group was trying to escape the eventuality on whip issue by delaying the case in the

leader of NPF legislature party and requested Dr. Shürhozelie to resign as CM and pave way for TR Zeliang to stake claim in accordance with established parliamentary conventions.

At the meeting, CMO said the MLAs, in order to strengthen cohesion amongst the majority of the NPF MLAs, resolved to appoint TR Zeliang as the party’s Whip. Subsequently, CMO said that the NLA Speaker was duly informed about the appointment of the Whip through a letter dated 14.7.2017. Thereafter, a notification was issued by NLA secretariat on 19.7.2017 informing about the appointment of T.R. Zeliang as the Whip with effect from 4.7.2017.

Then the Governor, after receiving the resolutions adopted by the MLAs, wrote to the then chief minister, Dr. Shürhozelie (11.7.2017) to obtain vote of confidence on or before 15.7.2017, a copy of which was forwarded to the NLA Speaker for necessary action. Upon receipt of the letter, CMO said Dr. Shürhozelie filed Writ Petition before the Gau-

guarding the nation, Prime Minister Modi highlighted the extreme weather conditions under which the troops operate and said he gets new energy while spending time among the soldiers.

Prime Minister Modi also appreciated the troops for regularly practicing yoga, adding that once they choose to retire, they could mould themselves into excellent yoga teachers.

Ahead of India’s 75th year of Independence in 2022, the Prime Minister encouraged the soldiers to innovate so that their routine tasks and duties become easier and safer.

Narendra Modi also mentioned how best innovations are now being recognised and awarded on the occasion of Army Day, Navy Day, and Air Force Day. “If we all take a resolution and work on it, then 125 crore Indians will bring India ahead by 125 crore steps by 2022, the 75th year of Independence,” said Prime Minister Modi.

Later, he was seen exchanging sweets and greetings with the troops.

Accompanying Prime Minister Modi on this visit was Chief of Army Staff, General Bipin Rawat, and other senior army officers.

court as they have realised their game was up.

Achumbemo maintained that the NPF constitution was specific on the current issue as it was one of the most exhaustive constitutions in order to accommodate the interests of Nagas.

On the ECI order issued on October 17, Kikon said the commission clearly directed the party to conduct general convention as per as article XV of the NPF Constitution where active members will determine the fate of the party.

He recalled that the NPF had on September 26, 2014 affirmed the general convention resolution supporting the current president. Kikon said the same was reaffirmed during the 2015 April emergent general convention and it will follow the same process when the NPF holds it general convention by No-

CMO media cell clarifies on appointment of NPF Whip DIMAPUR, OCT 19 (NPN): The chief minister’s office (CMO) has issued a statement to clarify its stand on the issue of appointment of NPF whip.

In a lengthy statement, CMO media cell explained in detail the manner in which chief minister T.R. Zeliang was appointed as the whip. As the then chairman, CMO said T.R. Zeliang held a meeting with DAN members, including some independent legislators on July 4, 2017 wherein the house resolved and reaffirmed the continuance of T.R. Zeliang as the DAN chairman.

The house also requested the then chief minister, Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu to pave way and empower TR Zeliang to stake claim and form the new DAN government. On the same day, at a meeting of the NPF legislature party, summoned by TR Zeliang as leader of the NPF legislature party, was attended by 34 MLAs, wherein the MLAs unanimously resolved for amendment of February 20, 2017 resolution, reaffirmed to let TR Zeliang continue as

hati High Court, Kohima bench challenging the directive of the Governor.

On 17.7.2017, CMO said TR Zeliang filed an appearance in the Writ Petition (Civil), and represented his case through counsel. After hearing all parties on 18.7.2017, CMO said that the single judge dismissed Dr. Shürhozelie’s Writ Petition. A Writ Appeal filed against the dismissal of the Writ Petition was also rejected on July 19, CMO said.

Accordingly, the Governor requested the Speaker on 18.7.2017 to call for an emergent special Session of the Assembly on 19.7.2017 to test the majority support of the then cabinet headed by chief minister, Dr. Shürhozelie.

However, even after the speaker had notified holding of the Assembly Session on July 19, CMO said neither the then CM, Dr. Shürhozelie nor any member of his council of ministers were present, though the rest of the MLAs (members of DAN) were present. Since no voting took place, the Speaker adjourned

the House sine die and reported the matter to the Governor. In this regard, the Governor by a communication dated, 19.7.2017 dismissed Dr. Shürhozelie and his ministry based on Clause (1) of Article 164 of the Constitution of India. By another order (also Dated, 19.7.2017), CMO said the Governor appointed TR Zeliang as chief minister. The order also directed TR Zeliang to prove his majority on the floor of the House on or before 22.7.2017.

Pursuant to the resolution of the NPF legislature party passed on 4.7.2017 appointing TR Zeliang as the Whip, CMO said he (Zeliang) had issued a direction (Whip) to all MLAs on July 19, 2017 in regard to the 18th Session of the 12th NLA held on July 21, 2017. On July 21, the motion of confidence moved

by TR Zeliang as the CM was put to vote and adopted, whereby 47 voted in favour and 11 voted against. This was duly recorded in the Bulletin Part-I of the NLA (18th Emergent Session of 12th Assembly), CMO added.

vember end after which the ECI will then decide on the matter.

He claimed that the NPF had already won 99.9 % of the battle and that it was just about to complete the formalities and send it to ECI. Achumbemo also claimed that the ECI order indicated outright rejection of the “so called unauthorized general convention called by Hotel Legacy group” on September 20, 2017. He said ECI cannot take cognizance of such gatherings and that the October 17 order has proven that all their activities, actions and so called general convention was illegal.

He said Nagas do not expect their leaders to involve in illegalities and misleading them as today they (public) were no longer as ignorant anymore.

Ki Achumbemo kon said the general conven-

tion called by Rio was the biggest embarrassment for the Naga people as public resources were spent on enacting the drama. He said if those involved were educated, they ought to read and understand the NPF party constitution.

He reiterated that NPF was standing on the solid rock of truth and that truth would prevail, adding “silent majority of the Nagas are with NPF.” Achumbemo said Kohima being the state capital, the Kohima town constituency was the most important constituency in the state thereby he said this seat should not be given to any other party.

He urged the party workers to find the right and efficient candidate, committed to the party principles and also respected the party constitution, to represent the constituency.

HASSU backs ENCSU demand on scholarship

DIMAPUR, OCT 19 (NPN): Highway Area Sumi Students’ Union (HASSU) Thursday came out in support of the Eastern Nagaland College Students Union (ENCSU) over the ongoing controversy concerning disbursement of post-matric scholarship on instalment basis by the department of higher education.

In a press release, HASSU president, A. Kughato Achumi, and education secretary, Nikaho K. Kiba, extended support to ENCSU and sought “authentic proof and valid evidence” from the department. They also appealed to the department to furnish the “detail copy” of ministry of tribal affairs notification/latter directing department to disburse the scholarship on instalment basis.

Further, the union urged the responsible minister to look into the matter seriously and find logical conclusion before the students start resenting.

It alleged that the delay tactics of disbursement of scholarship “has become a trend on the part of the government.”

Recently, the department of higher education, while clarifying on post-matric scholarships for ST students of Nagaland, had stated that unlike the previous years, the ministry of tribal affairs in its letter No. 20014/20/2012- Education, dated July 4, 2017 had directed the scheme implementing department to utilise the first instalment of Rs. 13,44, 00,000 and to submit the utilisation certificate of the same to claim for the second instalment.

Director higher education had further clarified that second instalment would be released by the ministry on submission of the Utilisation Certificate of the first instalment. The department informed beneficiaries to bear with this change as the department had to comply with the direction of the funding agency.

Police backbone of administration: Biren

Manipur chief minister N. Biren Singh inspecting the march-past contingents.

Correspondent

IMPHAL, Oct 19: Asserting that police are the backbone of administration, Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh called upon the uniformed personnel to maintain transparency, honesty, dedication, commitment and hard work in executing their assigned duties.

Biren said this while speaking at the 125th raising day of Manipur police, on Thursday.

“Everybody should adopt the philosophy of nation and state first, we second and self last,” the chief minister said.

He also reminded the police that apart from rendering their service to the people throughout day and night, they should even ready to sacrifice their lives in safeguarding public lives and properties.

He further asked the police officers to be careful as any error on their part often led to a negative im-

age of the government.

“Police are also human beings, and there have black sheep in police department as well. These unwanted elements should be jointly identified by police and public by working in close co-ordination and co-operation,” he said.

The Manipur police completed its 125th year of existence since its establishment in 1892 as State Military Police (SMP) that was formed following the defeat of Manipur’s King

by the British in Khongjom War (April 1892).

The nascent SMP began with section strength of one European officer, 14 local officers, 49 NCOS and 400 sepoys.”

Director General of Police (DGP) LM Khoute, while maintaining that Manipur police was one of the finest law enforcing agencies of the country, lauded the state police officers for their efforts to ensure peace in the insurgency-hit border state.

He claimed that Manipur police had made remarkable progress in the fields of counter-insurgency, maintaining law and order, investigation, protection of lives and properties of the public and sports etc.

To this he said, that the Manipur police had been able to bring around 3300 militants to mainstream so far. This year, the department had opened a separate Cyber Crime Police Station, deputed a separate SP for Traffic Police and introduced Community Policing, he added.

Earlier, the chief minister took salute from 25 march-past contingents of CRPF, civil police (male and female), police commandos, Manipur Rifles, India Reserve Battalion, Home Guards, VDF per-

sonnel, NCC Cadets, Manipur Police Dog Squad and Manipur Police Bomb Disposal Squad.

On the occasion, a total of 982 police officers and other ranks and a total of 84 officers and other ranks of Assam Rifles, BSF and CRPF were awarded DGP Commendation Roll and Disc in recognition of their outstanding performance of duty in various fields including investigative works, law and order, counter insurgency operations etc.

In recognition of their excellent leadership and outstanding performance of duty during the last state assembly election, the Manipur Police also honoured deserving officers and personnel of CRPF, BSF and Assam Rifles with DGP Commendation Roll and Disc on the occasion.

DGP running trophy for the best battalion was awarded to 8th Manipur Rifles. Second prize went to 1st Manipur Rifles and 5th Manipur Rifles while 2nd IRB and 5th IRB were jointly shared the third prize.

DGP running trophy for the best police station was bagged by Thoubal Police Station while Singjamei police station and Nambol police station received second and third prizes respectively.

Arunachal villager shot dead

by NSCN cadre ITANAGAR, OCT 19 (AGENCIES): A villager identified as Wangnon Wangpasam was reportedly shot dead by NSCN (I-M) cadres at Chopnu village under Kanubhari on Tuesday, informed police, a Arunachal Times (AT) report stated.

Police sources told AT that the incident took place when the victim protested against the alleged molestation attempt by the cadres on his sister. After informing of the alleged molestation by his sister, Wangpasam brought the matter to the NSCN (I-M) commander, who was among the six cadres. When the commander refused to entertain his pleas, the report said late Wangpasam threatened the cadres that he would report the matter to the police and the army. Consequently, this angered one of the cadres and prompted him to shoot late Wangpasam at point blank range, police added.

Sources further added that late Wangpasam died on spot and the cadres immediately fled from the scene. The shooter has reportedly been identified as Kapwang Wangsu.

The news of Wangpasam’s death while trying to defend his sister from the cadres has angered civil societies and students’ organisations.

Assam government rolls out new Tourism policy Assam and all facilities and incentives applicable to industries shall be available to Tourism industry also,” Assam Tourism Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said after releasing the policy here.

According to the policy, 45,00,000 domestic and 20,000 foreign tourists visited Assam as per the figures of 2014.

“This tourism policy paper is aimed at creating a policy framework to move tourism into a major economic sector of Assam increasing the inflow of tourists’ by at least two to

three fold in the next five years,” it added.

Sarma said the ‘Tourism policy of Assam 2017’ was approved by the state Cabinet on October 17 and the key focus of it was to attract the film industry to come and shoot in the state.

“Cash grant of 25 per cent or Rs 1 crore, whichever is less, of expenditure in Assam will be offered as reimbursement to Hindi, English and foreign language cinema makers, who have produced a minimum of five feature films.

The particular film’s 25 per cent shooting must be in Assam and 25 per cent of cast and crew should be from the state,” he added.

There will be an additional 10 per cent grant if the film’s storyline is on Assam’s culture, tourism and heritage, while another 10 per cent rebate will be offered if more than 50 per cent of the entire shooting is done in the state, the minister informed.

“The producers, who have produced minimum 10 films in Hindi, English or foreign languages, will be provided free accommoda-

Avoid making personal comments on oppn BJP leaders: Rahul Gandhi

Rahul Gandhi also said Gandhi has asked KPCC leaders including Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and him to avoid making conflicting statements in the media especially on the issue of selection of party candidates for the election.

“We told Rahulji that we do not have any differences, which is evident in our discussions with him everytime we met. Maybe, it is a creation of the opposition or somebody,” he told PTI here.

Media reports have suggested differences between Siddaramaiah and

Parameshwara on selection of candidates. The senior Congress leader also said that Gandhi discussed the political scenario in Karnataka and delineated the poll strategy to retain power.

The Congress vice president also stressed the need for raising awareness about the state governments achievements among public, Parameshwara said.

“Rahulji has also advised us to meet people and inform them about the governments efforts in implementing welfare schemes and seek their blessings so as to do more for them,” he said. Asked about the chances of Congress winning the 2018 election, Parameshwara sounded optimistic and claimed the Siddaramaiah government has given a clean and corruption-free governance.

“The BJP is merely levelling corruption charges against us but not proving them. In the case of

Yeddyurappa and a few BJP ministers, they went to jail after we proved the charges with documentary evidence.”

The Lokayukta court had on October 15, 2011 remanded Karnataka BJP unit chief BS Yeddyurappa in judicial custody in cases relating to alleged irregularities in denotification of government land, and sent him to Parappana Agrahara Central jail here.

Yeddyurappa, under whom the BJP formed its first-ever government in the south in 2008 elections, had to relinquish the chief ministers post following his indictment in the Lokayukta report on illegal mining submitted on July, 2011 by then anti-corruption ombudsman Santosh Hegde. Parameshwara claimed, “I feel, we provided good governance as we have more money in the budget and are able to spend it on agriculture, education and health.”

Heavy rains lash Odisha; dampens Diwali spirit Bhubaneswar, Oct 19 (PTI): Heavy rains lashed many parts of Odisha today, dampening the Diwali spirit, as low pressure over the Bay of Bengal intensified into a depression, a senior meteorological department official said today.

“The well marked low pressure has concentrated into a depression, which was located around 370 km south-southeast of Puri,” S C Sahu, the Director of the India Meteorological Department (IMD) centre said. The depression is likely to intensify into a deep depression and cross the Odisha coast between Puri and Chandbali by midnight today or tomorrow morning, he said. Under its impact, rains or thundershowers are likely to occur at most places in coastal Odisha and in the interior parts of the state in the next 24 hours, the MeT office said. There is also possibility of heavy to very heavy rainfall in some places of south Odisha and heavy rainfall at some places in the northern districts of the state.

Special assembly session for solar scam report Justice P Sathasivam that a special session be convened on November 9, to table the Solar scam probe report, an official release here said.

The state government also decided to seek expert legal opinion from former Kerala High Court Chief Justice Arijit Pasayat on further steps to be taken on the report, Vijayan said in a Facebook post.

The government’s decision comes in the backdrop of the demand made

by the Congress-led UDF Opposition to make public the commission report with Chandy seeking a copy of it to know about the “facts and findings” of the commission.

The state government, after seeking legal opinion on the report submitted last month by Justice Sivarajan Commission, had on October 11 decided to set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to further probe the multi-crore scam.

Announcing the probe,

Chief Minister Vijayan had said a criminal case would be registered and an Special Investigation Team would probe allegations of rape levelled by Saritha S Nair, the main accused in the scam, against some politicians in her July 17, 2013 letter.

In a related development, Nair today submitted to the chief minister a complaint in which she reiterated her allegations.

Ahmedabad, Oct 19 (PTI): Ahead of Assembly polls, Gujarat government has announced a slew of sops for teachers, employees of municipalities and others.

The Gujarat government also raised the annual income cap from Rs 1.50 lakh to Rs 2.50 lakh for the ‘Ma-Vatsalya’ scheme for free medical treatment of up to Rs 2 lakh for serious ailments.

“Till now, only people with an annual income of less than Rs 1.50 lakh were eligible for treatment of up to Rs 2 lakh at any of the government-approved hospitals. Now we have decided to raise this income limit to Rs 2.50 lakh, so that more people can benefit from the Ma-Vatsalya scheme,” Deputy Chief Minister Nitin Patel told reporters in Gandhinagar yesterday.

“We have decided to increase the monthly salary of ‘fixed-pay’ teachers of secondary schools from Rs 16,500 to Rs 25,000. Assistant teachers, who used to get Rs 10,500, will now get Rs 16,224. Administrative assistants will now get Rs 19,950 from the current salary of Rs 11,500,” Patel said.

Dealing with ISIS

fter the defeat of ISIS at Raqqa, by USbacked Syrian Democratic Forces there is considerable elation in the US and other parts of the world about the sure but gradual defeat of the murderous and bloody Islamic terror outfit which is responsible for one of the worst ever atrocities in the post World War II era. The number of people murdered in horrific manner including beheading of infants, rapes of girls and the brutal execution of thousands of Christians has made ISIS one of the most dreaded and hated terror organisation ever. The city became the de facto capital of the terror group’s self-proclaimed “caliphate” following a sweep of territorial gains in Iraq and Syria in 2014. Foreign fighters swelled the ranks of ISIS in Raqqa, which it used as a base to launch terror attacks around the world. A sustained effort to retake the city began in early June, in an operation led by the SDF and backed up by coalition air strikes. The defeat of ISIS in Raqqa is a symbol of the terror group’s decline -it now controls a small strip of territory along the Euphrates river in northern Syria. No nation openly supports ISIS but there are some that do covertly.

The forces arrayed against ISIS are many, from the Turks to Kurds, Iranians, Saudis, Americans and Russians, each of them seeking to crush the group. The challenge now is to forge a united front among actors with conflicting agendas for long enough to prevent Isis from regrouping in one form or another to take advantage of the chaos that could yet come. ISIS may be ejected from Raqqa and could even be crushed militarily if the forces combine. However for the US-backed forces, re-taking over large areas from ISIS will also pose major problems as in the case between the Syrians or Iraqis against the Kurds. In the present case, US President Donald Trump has surprised and even riled many by claiming that he was responsible for the success against ISIS. Such a childish claim only made him appear to be more unsuitable in dealing with a very complex and deadly situation against a dogged, determined and murderous bunch. Trump has been speaking and tweeting out too much and exposed his clumsy understanding of the geo-politics. While he was taking pot shots at Iran, Tehran, which alongside Moscow has kept Bashar al-Assad’s regime alive, was moving its pieces into position across the board — in Iraq and Syria. On paper, the US’s main ally in this fight is Nato member Turkey. However, Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdogan chose to visit Tehran not Washington this month. America’s reserve allies, and the main force behind the capture of Raqqa, are the Syrian Kurds — Turkey’s antagonists. Caught between the two, the US has made no political commitment to either’s cause. Trump has been acting more like a TV star despot than a serious president who is require to deal with scores of international leaders. The danger is ISIS could regroup and turn defeat into victory unless Trump realises he is not playing a role in a TV serial.

DailyDevotion The Unheeded Secret Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world.”

—John 18:36 The great enemy of the Lord Jesus Christ today is the idea of practical work that has no basis in the New Testament but comes from the systems of the world. This work insists upon endless energy and activities, but no private life with God. The emphasis is put on the wrong thing. Jesus said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation….For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:20-21).

It is a hidden, obscure thing. An active Christian worker too often lives to be seen by others, while it is the innermost, personal area that reveals the power of a person’s life.

We must get rid of the plague of the spirit of this religious age in which we live. In our Lord’s life there was none of the pressure and the rushing of tremendous activity that we regard so highly today, and a disciple is to be like His Master. The central point of the kingdom of Jesus Christ is a personal relationship with Him, not public usefulness to others.

It is not the practical activities that are the strength of this Bible Training College— its entire strength lies in the fact that here you are immersed in the truths of God to soak in them before Him. You have no idea of where or how God is going to engineer your future circumstances, and no knowledge of what stress and strain is going to be placed on you either at home or abroad. And if you waste your time in overactivity, instead of being immersed in the great fundamental truths of God’s redemption, then you will snap when the stress and strain do come.

But if this time of soaking before God is being spent in getting rooted and grounded in Him, which may appear to be impractical, then you will remain true to Him whatever happens.

Government work is sacred, not secular

n two of our recent articles on political theology we have offered biblical arguments to show that the institution of human government is divinely ordained and that God is the rightful Head of every government. In this article we will attempt to argue that the work of government is a part of God’s temporal mission in the world and therefore sacred, not secular.

Human government is divinely commissioned to carry out certain functions for the good of the society: First, governing authorities are entrusted with the “sword,” as it were, to administer justice (Rom. 13:2-5). They are endowed with judicial authority to punish criminals and to safeguard lives. Thus a reason is provided both as a coercive power and as an executor of justice. It is entrusted with the responsibility to fight against all social evils such as lawlessness, corruption, unequal distribution of public resources, discrimination, theft, murder, to name a

few, instead of using public offices to commit all the wrong things. This implies that the work of government is to ensure justice or promote righteousness in the lives of its citizens.

Enforcing justice is not all. The second function expected of government is to maintain law and order so that its citizens can enjoy peace and tranquility of lives. That’s why the apostle Paul exhorts Christians, saying: “Pray for kings and everyone who is in authority so that we can live a quiet and peaceful life in complete godliness and dignity” (1 Tim. 2:2).

Indeed, God instituted human government to do what is “good” or “right” within human society (1 Pet. 2:14). The “good” in this case is not about a Christian action, but a governmental action which does not exclude God, because it cannot be something which is in conflict with whatever is of God. It is about doing what is good for others as God would want it, even if it is a pagan government that doesn’t believe in the

But no matAnother task of hu- ter its imperfection, no matman government is to pre- ter if a ruler attains office serve and propagate human through improper means, life. Although it cannot en- the existence of the govgender life, the government ernmental institution stands

in a certain sense beyond good and evil. According to the Bible, government is something which God has brought into being to exist (Rom. 13:1). And it is in this being that it is a divine office, despite the possibility of wrongful manner of its coming into being. That’s why an ethical failure does not deprive it of its divine dignity. Perhaps this can be likened to a father-child relationship in the sense that a father’s wrongful act doesn’t deprive him of his divinely assigned status as a father. In other words, even when the government incurs guilt and is open to ethical attack, the power of its office is from God. For this reason, governing authorities are called “God’s “servants” (Rom. 12:6).

So, what if a government doesn’t administer justice, maintain law and order, ensure peace, and do all the good things for the welfare of the public?

The answer is simple: we must still honor the institution and respect those in authorities. The demands of government, which are

based on its existential mission and delegated power, are from God. Its claims are binding on us. Hence, our obedience is required “for the Lord’s sake” (1 Pet. 2:13). Only when a government demands something unethical or evil from its citizens can we refuse to oblige, because it has overstepped or violated its divine commission. In such a case, a Christian can refuse to obey the government. It is not, however, permissible to generalize from one specific offense and to conclude that this government now possesses no claim of obedience in other areas of our lives.

Our disobedience can never be anything but a specific decision on a case-by-case basis. Otherwise, sweeping generalizations can lead to a total elimination of government as an institution.

In short, the government has the divine task of serving for the welfare of the people. In serving people by its existence and mission, it serves God no matter whether it is conscious or unconscious of this reality.

Speech of Ruovihulie Angami on behalf of the Angami Public Organization (APO)

Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu clarifies on VP election

A

friend came to me recently and asked me, “Is it true that you have refused to recommend Dr. S.C. Jamir for the post of Vice President of India ?”~I ~II asked him who told him and he said that it was a common talk going on among certain community which is likely creating feelings against you.

I am, therefore, constrained to clarify my position on the matter. In June this year while I was in the office, few one-time colleagues, seven of them, came to my office and handed over a letter requesting me to write for the subject mentioned above. I told them that since the process was yet to start we would take up the matter when time came.

Voting for the election of the President of India took place on 18th July, 2017. Result was announced on 20th July, 2017. The process of election for the election of VicePresident started only after the completion of President’s election. That is, the process for the election of Vice-President started only after 20th July, 2017. Voting for it took place only in August, 2017.

It is for public consumption that 10 Legislators from Mokokchung District and one more from Dimapur had left me for Kaziranga on 7th July, 2017 along with their other friends. The process of election started only about 2 weeks after they left for Kaziranga and after my Government was unconstitutionally dismissed. By the time election process for the Vice President started they were all in the present party-less Government headed by Mr. T.R. Zeliang and I was no longer in the office by that time.

Dr. S.C.Jamir is now an Honorable Governor. He is above party politics. It is very wrong and regrettable for some ambitious leaders trying to create misunderstanding among different communities for their own gain by using the name of such a high profile person.

thank Chairman Rev. Dr. Wati Aier and his colleagues of the FNR and the representatives from 29 Naga Regions from the Naga inhabited areas, present here today.

I take this privilege being thrusted to me by the officials of APO representatives present here to share my/our views of APO, communicated to me just last night by Mr. Niketu Iralu who could not be present here this morning in this gathering due to his transportation problems. But as per our discussion last night and his telephonic talk to me this morning that I should share something about the views of the Angamis (APO) to all, as given a chance to speak alongwith APO representatives, sitting here together as its representatives.

Our/my first thanks go to the FNR for bringing peace, unity and understanding to the Nagas with brotherly relationship within our Naga family and the Naga National workers /groups in particular.

Once the fratricidal killings became common and there was no chance of communicating with each other among the factions for so long but now such things could be made possible through the prayers and best wishes of the Naga people being spearheaded by the FNR since 2008 till today. And we the APO, is very grateful to the FNR in taking up another venture to bring even the Naga

(At the FNR meeting held on October 14)

Public representatives from the East-West- North-South and elsewhere of the Naga family to come together and show our solidarity to the world that there is a People as the Nagas, exist in this part of the world from time immemorial and continue thus far. And to this occasion of 10th Jan 2018 as the ‘Naga Day’ as already decided in the first meeting of the FNR some 10 days back, I on behalf of the APO shall give the views of the Angamis at this august house in this manner.

As we all know that the Nagas have three undivided principles in our political aspirations, right from the beginning of our struggle for selfdetermination as an indigenous People and Nation of South East Asiatic region, basing on the Naga Memorandum, submitted to the then British Simon Commission on the 10th Jan’ 1929 by the Naga Club the Naga Independence Day declaration to the outside world on the 14th August 1947; and the Naga Plebiscite conducted site on the 16th May, 1951 by the NNC in confirmation of the first two events already laid down by our forefathers with their farsighted visions for the generations to come.

Yes, we have been told that this Naga Political Memorandum was drafted by Late Mr. Rüzhükhrie Sekhose, one of the first Naga graduates, signed by 20 members on behalf of all

the Nagas even to the youngest child born last night and so also the other two events i.e. 14th August 1947 and the 16th May, 1951 conducted by the NNC. And inspite of the present indifferences of views, nomenclature in the organizations and leadership crisis, difference in our approaches in our political straggle for recognition at the international even the days to come, we are one in mind and stand and if Jan. 10, 2018 shall be observed/ celebrated as ‘Naga Day’ with a mammoth gathering or few at different places of our Naga areas in extending our brotherly ties and emotional integration as we feel it as quite appropriate and befitting to our present local situation even with our goodwill approaches to our neighbouring states and nations for a peaceful co-existence without hurting the feeling of each other which also would be appreciated by all our Naga National workers and their groups whom we have been in touch all these days.

It is true that the Naga Club and its Memorandum submitted on the 10th Jan 1929 Naga Independence Day Declaration on 14th August 1947 and the Naga Political Referendum conducted on the 16th May 1951are the common properties of the Naga people which no one can deny but since these milestones of events took place in the Angami Region/Jurisdiction and by taking the views

Why a permanent victim of potholes?

t is a known fact that whenever we register a new vehicle with the Transport Department, we are compelled to pay 5% of the cost price of the same, levied as road tax, the sum of which results from 13,000/- to 1,50, 000/- or more. In spite of paying so much road tax, we have to perennially traverse on roads which are as good as rivers, replete with potholes, puddles on almost the whole stretch of National Highways and State Highways in our state. Not to talk of the perplexing and dreadful journey, without any alternatives for the sick, elderly and women through almost non-existent road, mud, rocks and dust.

Often, drivers, blinded by dust and muddy water, hit rocks, plunged into swamps and puddles especially during rains; which cause damage in vehicles in different measure, such as cracks in engine casings etc while

being manoeuvred over our bad-to-worse terrain.

These road problems cost us our health, our safety, our lives and undue expenditure, many avoidable and unfortunate accidents and also very sadly, our right to proper infrastructure. These glaring road issues are partly due to our laid back attitude, carelessness, corruption and also overlooking honour and appreciation towards those who actually do the work efficiently and earnestly.

Early part of 2015, contractor K C Angami did the bitumen road carpeting from TCP Gate to IG Stadium Kohima, which withstood three heavy monsoons, over the past three years. Why? The quality of workmanship is evidently better, unlike the usual “cosmetic black-topping” of road. The project undertaken by him has given us a smooth ride effortlessly and seamlessly. The

road surface having thick coats of bitumen concrete has been naturally durable and braced all weather. No scientific explanation is required for such inspiring reality and testimony; any layman can see the difference in workmanship, though few recognise it while the others are not vocal enough.

In a similar setting, the BRO till date has been carrying out black topping of roads from TCP Gate, Kohima to Kisama, every year, sometimes even twice a year for many years, apart from its other major road maintenance and construction works in Nagaland.

There is no need to make a mention of the river-like roads, comprising of potholes, mud or dust. Certain spots right in the middle of the road are perfectly fit for paddy plantation.

Their RCC bridges are full of potholes too, as early as six to ten months of its

completion. Contractor Vilelie Angami would be replacing the BRO in this particular route shortly one may expect a great change.

BRO is also currently working on bitumen carpeting of road at Phek Road starting from Pezielietsie.

The work began in early part of January 2017, but till date, not even 3 kms has been covered. Their black topping projects have not lasted even for 3 months, as witnessed by everyone, not to talk of the black topping lasting for three to four monsoon seasons, which attributes to major road problems in Nagaland.

Our top politicians, who have an affinity for the BRO, need to seriously focus more on solving major road woes first for public interest, before it is too late.

Kuolachalie Seyie, Hidden Forests, IG Stadium, Kohima, (kuolachalie@yahoo.com)

on the principles of these three events as common property and especially the 10th Jan 1929 as the Naga Day (being the day as the beginning of registering our Naga National Political rights, the Angamis under the umbrella of APO shall gives our best cooperation to the FNR and to the occasion for the success of the programme by extending all our possible assistance for the successful celebration of this Dignified Day of the Nagas.

This Significant Day, like a birthday of a child, falling on the 10th Jan’ 2018 as the oxodus of the Naga National Movement, there is no question of deferring the date according to our own convenience or waiting another sitting for approval of the House for such celebration which may be bring more complicated issues or less representatives on the would-be gatherings in future for the said approval, we better to give our support to the FNR initiatives of observing the day as the ‘Naga Day’ with voice vote and let every member present here today, may kindly take the message back home to mobilise their respective region for a good participation in this coveted ‘Naga Day’ programme.

We wish the best success of the programme being organized by the FNR, see you all on the 10th Jan’ 2018, wish to see you all representatives to be present on that day, till then bye-bye.

Reader’s Post

Letter to PM Modi Sir,

Some years back when I had a talk with one of my friends during my college days, he told me that the Indians must be thankful to the British government, because they had delivered us from the hands of the barbaric Muslim rule. Those days there was hatred in my heart towards them because we read how they ruled Indians.

The BJP spokesman, Mr. GVL Narasimha has pointed out that the Muslim regime in India was barbaric. Thus, the BJP government must understand this, and must instead thank the British government, because it was they who had saved us from the hands of the Islamic rule. If they had not come to India then we would have still been under the Islamic rule.

Christians on the other hand are peace loving people.

Christianity teaches peace and love. I personally feel that it was God’s plan in sending the Englishmen to India to spread the Gospel and at the same time rescue the Indians from the clutches of the devilish Muslim rule.

Therefore I would kindly like to request the BJP government to stop harassing and persecuting the Christians.

Odisha cracker factory blast files suit for impersonation death toll increases to eight Bhubaneswar, Oct 19 (PTI): The death toll in the explosion at an illegal firecracker factory in Odisha’s Balasore district rose to eight today with two more persons succumbing to burn injuries, officials said.

The massive explosion at the illegal firecracker factory at Bahabalpur had claimed the lives of six persons and left nine seriously injured last night.

Seven of the injured had been shifted to Sriram Chandra Bhanj (SCB) Medical College and Hospital at Cuttack.

“Seven of those injured in the explosion had been received at our hospital and of them, two persons with critical burn died during treatment,” Superintendent of SCB Medical College and and Hospital, Prof Shyama Kanungo, said.

She said a medical board comprising specialists from different departments, including surgery and plastic surgery, has

been formed to ensure proper treatment for the five injured persons, whose condition is highly critical.

In the aftermath of the explosion, Director General of Police RP Sharma suspended Santosh Behera, the Inspector InCharge of Bahabalapur marine police station, for dereliction of duty.

The explosion took place last evening when firecrackers were being made in the house at Bahabalpur, around 12 km from the district headquarters town of Balasore.

Six persons, whose bodies were recovered, had died on the spot, Balasore district collector Pramod Kumar Das said.

“The crackers were being made in an unauthorised manner without any legal license,” Das said.

Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik had announced Rs 2 lakh each as ex-gratia for the families of those killed in the explosion.

He also said Rs 50,000 would be given as assistance to those who suffered critical injuries and free medical treatment would be provided to all injured persons.

Terming the incident as unfortunate, Patnaik ordered stringent action against those responsible for the explosion.

An inquiry into the incident has been launched and police personnel, fire brigade and Odisha Disaster Rapid Action Froce (ODRAF) were present at the site. Forensic experts were also being sent to the spot, police said.

Locals said the impact of the explosion was so severe that the structure, where the firecrackers were being made, was blown up and suffered extensive damage.

Most of the bodies were severely burnt and difficult to recognise, they said. Police said the exact cause of the incident would be ascertained after the investigation.

(from p-1) He added that Nagas are waiting for political settlement and NPF has sacrificed in the past and will continue however if election was held on time Kikon said the party has to gear up.

Working president Kohima division Kesonelie Theünuo in his brief address said the newly dedicated office must be for various programmes of the party.

He asked the party workers to remain in touch with the colony, units and also appealed not to misuse the office. Theünuo encouraged party workers to plan on strengthening the party and also to select a good candidate who can work for the Nagas.

He said Kohima town has only soldiers without commanders and the party workers must own responsibility and play the role effectively. CEC member Neibulie Kiewhuo said election was near thereby the party workers should not remain idle and also insisted to look for an efficient and effective candidate. The programme was chaired by Neiba Bio.

(from p-1) Thereafter, on July 25, CMO said a Writ Petition was filed by Dr. Shürhozelie along with Kiyanilie Peseyie against the Speaker and the MLAs who had voted for TR Zeliang, alleging that they had defied the Whip issued two and a half years ago through letter dated, 14.11.2014 by Kiyanilie Peseyie as chief Whip of the NPF legislature party.

On July 7, CMO said a petition was filed before the Speaker by Kiyanilie Peseyie claiming to be chief Whip. The ‘directions’ stated to be issued by the petitioner, Kiyanilie Peseyie, were the directions purportedly issued through letter dated, 14.11.2014, an intimation which was acknowledged by the NLA secretariat in notification dated, 15.11.2014-- which stated that NPF president had appointed late Kiyanilie Peseyie as the chief Whip of the NPF legislature party w.e.f. 14.11.2014. The continued validity of these directions had been canvassed for in Writ Petition 138 (K) of 2017, CMO said.

The prayer in the[petition to the Speaker

was to declare the respondents as disqualified from the membership of the NLA, under Paragraph 2(1) (b) of the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution of India.

In this regard, CMO said that the following points were being put forward for public knowledge: 1. The two Notifications of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly Secretariatthe one Dated, 15.11.2014 and the other Notification Dated, 19.17.2017 make it clear as to the period of operation of the directions under each notification. Notification dated, 15.11.2014 of the NLA secretariat, stated and recognized that Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu (SL), NPF president appointed Kiyanilie Peseyie as the chief Whip of the NPF legislature party w.e.f.

14.11.2014 and its operation remained effective until NLA secretariat issued notification dated, 19.7.2017 wherein it acknowledged that the NPF legislative party had informed the Speaker of the appointment of TR Zeliang, leader NPF legislative party as Whip of the NPF w.e.f. 4.7.2017.

2. The period of operation of the direction con-

tained in the first notification of 15.11.2014 stood superseded by the notification of 19.7.2017, which recognized TR Zeliang, as Whip of the NPF legislature party with effect from 4.7.2017.

3. As to the matter of abstention from voting at the meeting of the Assembly on 19.7.2017 to test the majority support of the cabinet headed by the then CM, Dr. SL; and matter regarding the votes recorded at the meeting of the Assembly on 21.7.2017, the only operative Whip on both these dates was that of TR Zeliang and not that of Kiyanilie Peseyie.

4. It is an acknowledgement of the position that the operative Whip on both these dates was that of TR Zeliang and not that of Kiyanilie Peseyie, the clear reason being that the Writ petition was filed on 25.7.2017 by Dr. SL and Kiyanilie Peseyie.

5. The vote of the 37 NPF legislature party MLAs in favor of TR Zeliang strictly conforms to the Whip issued by TR Zeliang on 19.7.2017 and consequently there has been no incurring of any disqualification under Paragraph 2(b) of

the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution.

6. It is self-evident and unquestionable that a subsequent appointment of any person to any position impliedly overrides and revokes any prior appointment. Consequently, the alleged prior appointment of Kiyanilie Peseyie as chief Whip of the party w.e.f. 14.11.2014 recognized by the NLA secretariat and notified on 15.11.2014 stood superseded by the notification of the NLA dated, 19.7.2017 with effect from 4.7.2017.

CMO said that since the recognition by the Speaker in regard to the appointment of TR Zeliang as leader of the NPF legislature party and as Whip of the NPF remains valid and continuing and was never quashed or set aside by any Court of Law, it was for the public to decide on whether it is ignorance or hypocrisy that was driving Dr. Shürhozelie and his men to make false claims as leader/chief Whip of the NPF legislature party and/ or to claim of invoking the provisions of Paragraph 2(b) of the Tenth Schedule. “The bare plain truth is for all to know and understand,” CMO said.

Karnataka CM seeks GST will grant medical visa in deserving cases: Sushma Omar thanks PM for Diwali in Gurez, requests mobile connectivity exemption on handmade goods said the Council should deliberate on it on priority and provide relief to them (artisans). Under the GST, handmade products are taxed between 5-28 per cent since the new tax regime was introduced on July 1 across the country though majority of them (goods) are produced in the rural and informal sector by millions of people.

The letter was written on a representation from the Gram Seva Sangh committee to the Chief Minister, seeking GST exemption on handmade goods made and marketed by producer cooperative societies and their federations in the country.

External affairs minister Sushma Swaraj

New Delhi, Oct 19 (PTI): External affairs minister Sushma Swaraj said on Thursday that on the auspicious occasion of Diwali, India will grant medical visa in all deserving cases that are pending, as she responded positively

to a number of such requests by Pakistani nationals.

To a request for a visa by a Pakistani woman named Amna Shamin, whose father is already in Delhi for treatment and she wants to visit him, Swaraj

your child must not suffer for want of medicine.

I have asked Indian High Commission to issue medical visa. @ChachaKashif,” the minister tweeted on Wednesday.

Kashif had said the child’s medicines were about to finish and he needed immediate medical consultation in India.

In another tweet, Swaraj said a medical visa has also been approved for a Pakistani woman, who wants to undergo liver surgery in India.

The woman’s son, Rafique Memon, had requested Swaraj to intervene and grant visa to his mother.

S r i nag a r , O c t 1 9 (PTI): For mer Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah today thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for spending Diwali in Gurez along the Line of Control and urged him to gift physical and mobile connectivity to the people in the area on the festive occasion. Modi arrived in the Gurez sector this morning to celebrate

Diwali with troops posted in the forward area close to the Line of Control (LoC).

Army Chief General Bipin Rawat was also accompanying the prime minister.

“Thank you for celebrating #Diwali with the people & troops in #Gurez. Please gift the people and troops a tunnel under Razdan pass @PMOIndia,” Omar wrote on his Twitter handle.

Bengaluru, Oct 19 (IANS): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday urged the central government to exempt handmade products from Goods and Sales Tax (GST) regime.

“As handmade products are produced by millions of artisans across the country, imposition of GST on them is having an adverse effect on their livelihood. The GST Council should exempt them from the new tax regime at its next meeting,” said Siddaramaiah in a letter to Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. Terming the burden of GST on artisans and rural households a critical issue, the Chief Minister

said, “Please contact Indian High Commission in Pakistan. We will allow this.” “On the auspicious occasion of Deepawali, India will grant medical visa in all deserving cases pending today,” Swaraj tweeted.

On Wednesday, she had directed the Indian High Commission in Islamabad to issue a visa to a Pakistani child for medical treatment in India.

The child’s father, Kashif, had requested Swaraj on Twitter to grant medical visa for treatment of Abdullah, saying he needed post-liver transplant evaluation in India.

Unlike price caps, fixing trade margins would restrict how much a product’s price can be raised from the import or manufacturing cost.

DoP secretar y Jai Priye Prakash and NPPA chairman Bhupendra Singh did not respond to queries. However, sources in the government confirmed that the workshop is on.

DoP’s discussions on trade margin rationalisation come amidst growing industry fears that the government may impose price caps on more medical devices similar to those on coronary stents and knee implants.

It also follows a consultation DoP held with various stakeholders this month on limiting trade margins on pharmaceutical products — a measure that also figured in the department’s last draft National Pharmaceutical Policy.

National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) will present the data it has collected from the industry on ex-factory prices or “price to trade” for 23 medical devices notified as “drugs”, according to the letter. In addition to this, the industry will provide data to decide on the various segments.

Nineteen out of 23 classes of devices ranging from syringes to heart valves and cochlear implants are not under price control.

Even within the category of orthopaedic implants, only knee implants have come under price control.

Indian arm, Hindustan Unilever, posted a 6 per cent sales increase with flat volume growth, mainly due to the destocking provoked prior to the implementation of the pan-India Goods and Services Tax (GST) from July.

Unilever said volume growth improved in India after implementation of the new indirect tax regime.

“As expected, price growth lowered as the benefits of the tax change were passed on to consumers,” the statement said.

The company’s overall third quarter growth was adversely affected by “poorer weather in Europe compared with last year and natural disasters in the Americas”.

“For the full year, we continue to expect underlying sales growth within 3-5 per cent range, an improvement in underlying operating margin of at least 100 basis points and strong cash flow,” the statement added.

NEW DELHI, Oct 19 (Agencies): In a move that could bring relief to the medical device industry that’s been hit hard by price caps this year, the government may look at the middle ground of imposing a cap on the distributor and retailer margins.

The Department of Pharmaceuticals (DoP) has asked medical device associations, healthcare industry bodies and relevant regulatory agencies to help it categorise the devices.

The DoP secretary will hold a meeting on October 25 to fix trade margins, according to a letter sent by the department to the stakeholders. ET has seen a copy of this letter.

“The issue of rationalisation of trade margins in medical device sector has been under consideration of this department,” said the letter.

Mumbai, Oct 19 (IANS): Anglo-Dutch consumer goods multinational Unilever on Thursday said emerging markets sales drove the company’s growth in the third quarter of 2017, while it sees signs of improvement in India with higher demand-led growth helped by price cuts resulting from GST. “While conditions in our developed markets remain challenging, we are starting to see signs of improvement in some of our biggest emerging markets including India and China,” Unilever Chief Executive Paul Polman said in a statement in London after the company posted a 2.6 per cent underlying growth in sales during third quarter ended September.

He, however, conceded that new technologies will require fewer people to do the same work and added that domestic software companies are in the process of re-aligning themselves to the changing contours of their business.

On protectionism concerns as well, Chandrasekhar said we are being overtly concerned on the impact of such moves on the country.

“As far as the India value proposition is concerned, it is as strong as ever. In fact it has become stronger today,” he said.

“Our opportunity in those countries is not a gift from those countries, it is a need which they have but cannot fulfill, and thus which we are fulfilling,” he reasoned.

One of the government nominated external members, Ravindra H. Dholakia, a Professor at IIM-Ahmedabad, voted for a repo rate reduction of at least 25 basis points. “In my view, the policy rate should have been cut by 50 basis point long back in June 2017. A cut of 25 basis point in August was too small and too late. We can still make the additional cut of 25 basis point now if we want to be extremely cautious,” Dholakia said at the MPC meeting.

He said we have been too pessimistic because of the advent of new technologies and its impact on the sector, which gets us revenues of upwards of USD 150 billion and creates 4 million direct jobs.

In the interview before companies started announcing their Q2 numbers, Chandrasekhar said the industry is on track to achieve the body’s revenue growth forecast of up to 8 per cent this fiscal year.

Declaring that inflation is expected to rise from its current level of around 3.3 per cent “and range between 4.2-4.6 per cent in the second half of this year”, Patel said the MPC remains committed to keeping headline inflation close to 4 per cent “on a durable basis”.

Five members of the six-member MPC voted in favour of maintaining the key lending rate. The MPC had expressed concern about the upside risks to inflation and that implementation of farm loan waivers by states may result in fiscal slippages resulting in upward pressure on prices.

“Although the domestic food price outlook remains largely stable, generalised momentum is building in prices of items excluding food, especially emanating from crude oil. The possibility of fiscal slippages may add to this momentum in the future,” it said. Besides Pa-

When sought his views on regulation of technologies, he said, “in the newage technologies, regulation is important but it need not always precede the advent of technology as technology is evolving so quickly that regulation has only to keep pace with that.”

It can be noted that the tech world has been vertically divided over the aspect of regulation, with Tesla founder Elon Musk pitching for regulation, while Facebook’s Mark Zuckerburg opposing it.

“We have to be vigilant on account of uncertainties on the external and fiscal fronts; this calls for a cautious approach,” he said.

Belying industry expectations, RBI maintained its hawkish stance at its fourth bi-monthly monetary policy review of the fiscal here earlier this month, refusing to cut rates in view of the rising inflationary pressure and concerns over “fiscal slippage”.

The slide in gold prices was attributed to absence of worthwhile activity as jewellers and retailers made token purchases on the auspicious occasion of ‘Diwali’ and beginning of Hindu Samvat year 2074.

Overseas, gold rose 0.43 per cent to USD 1,286 and silver gained 0.15 per cent to USD 16.99 an ounce in London.

In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purity fell by Rs 250 each to Rs 30,750 and Rs 30,600 per 10 grams respectively.

The policies of New Zealand First are nationalistic and eclectic. Peters wants to drastically reduce immigration and stop foreigners from buying farms.

He opposed plans by English’s National Party to increase the pension age and plans by Labour to tax certain water users.

New Zealand First is expected to extract policy concessions and win some ministerial posts by joining the Labour coalition. Ardern said the details would be released in the coming days.

Peters said in his announcement that his party’s perception of how capitalism needs to change influenced its decision.

“Far too many New Zealanders have come to view today’s capitalism not as their friend but as their foe, and they are not all wrong,” he said.

WELLINGTON, OCT 19 (AGENCIES): Jacinda Ardern will be New Zealand’s next prime minister and hopes to take the country on a more liberal path following nine years of rule by the conservatives, reports AP. The outcome of a national election nearly a month ago only became clear Thursday after the small New Zealand First party decided to back Ardern’s liberal Labour Party.

Ardern, 37, will be the nation’s youngest leader in more than 150 years. She has been compared to other young, charismatic leaders such as President Emmanuel Macron in France and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Canada.

Ardern wants to curb immigration, ban foreign speculators from buying homes and build thousands more affordable houses.

She also wants to spend more money on health care and education, and clean up polluted waterways. New Zealand First leader Win-

KANDAHAR, OCT 19 (AFP): Militants launched two separate attacks on Afghan security installations killing dozens of soldiers today, the latest in a series of devastating assaults this week that have left more than 120 people dead and underscored spiralling insecurity.

At least 43 Afghan soldiers were killed and nine wounded in a Taliban-claimed assault on a military base in southern Afghanistan which saw the insurgents blast their way into the compound with at least one explosives-laden Humvee, the defence ministry said.

A security source in Kandahar put the toll at 50 dead and 20 wounded. But the real figure is likely to be higher because Afghan officials habitually understate the actual number of casualties. The militants razed the base in the Chashmo area of Maiwand district in Kandahar province to the ground, according to the

The cases were registered weeks after the Supreme Court disqualified Sharif as PM on July 28 in the Panama Papers scandal.

The accountability court indicted Sharif, his daughter Maryam Nawaz and son-inlaw Capt (retd) Mohammad Safdar in the London properties reference even though Sharif and lead defence counsel Khawaja Haris are both out of the country.

The Taliban claimed the ambush in a message to journalists that said all 60 security personnel on the base were killed.

“We have sent a delegation to assess the situation.

The base is under ANA (Afghan National Army) control,” Waziri added.

Separately today, militants besieged a police headquarters in the southeastern province of Ghazni, attacking it for the second time this week.

Airstrikes were called in to support embattled police in the ongoing assault, which has killed two security forces so far, Ghazni provincial police chief Mohammad Zaman told AFP. The strikes were not immediately confirmed by US Forces.

Officials said the earlier assault on the headquarters, which took place on Tuesday, left 20 people dead and 46 wounded.

Today’s attacks take the number of major suicide and gun assaults on security installations this week to four and increases the total death toll to more than 120, including soldiers, police and civilians.

In three out of the four assaults this week the Taliban used a Humvee vehicle as a bomb to blast their way into their targets.

“As far as romantic relationships are concerned, they are complicated because it is difficult to find someone, who understands your success, your passion for what you do, who understands that maybe you earn more money (than him). It (at the top) is a complicated place to be in,” Deepika said.

The actor said that with extreme success, she “overnight had wings to fly” and that is when relationships go through testing times. “Some of my personal relationships have become stronger with time but I have seen some of my friends, who have distanced themselves from me. Some of my school friends... We have become closer than before because we all make efforts to stay in touch.”

She added, “A lot of people could not handle the success that came my way and sort of disconnected. I am not upset about it, that’s just the way life goes. People, who are closest to you and matter, understand.”
