No question of distorting Assam’s map: Sonowal

G U WA H AT I , O C T 2 1 (IANS/AGENCIES): Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Saturday reiterated his government’s position that the map of the state will not be allowed to be distorted at any cost and that the territorial integrity of the state will be protected.

“The stand of the Assam government is clear; we will not let any change to the state’s geography in the wake of the Framework Agreement (between the NSCN-IM and the Centre).

The people of Assam has vested the responsibility on our government to protect the territorial integrity of the state and we are committed to ensure this,” Sonowal said at a public function at Sonari in Charaideo district in upper Assam that shares inter-state boundary with Nagaland.

Sonowal’s statement assumes significance considering the fact that several civil society groups have been expressing their apprehension over the framework agreement between the government of India and the NSCN (I-M).

Blueprint of newly registered NDPP DIMAPUR, OCT 21 (NPN): After obtaining registration under Election Commission recently, the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) has come out with a statement containing a list of priorities that seeks to bring about changes in the socio-economic scenario of Nagaland.

The Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party also promises to root out corruption and nepotism and leave no stone unturned towards ushering transparency, good governance, restoration of the system and genuine development.

The youth also figure as among priorities of the NDPP for whom, it promises to create opportunities and also to realise gender equality and at the same time allow meritocracy to prevail.

NDPP also opens its doors to all sections of people to who desire to positively impact upon society for a better and rewarding future.

NEW DELHI, OCT 21: Congress has not raised the pitch over the strange decision of the Election Commission of India (ECI) in announcing elections for Gujarat but stopping short of announcing the dates.

This, observers said, was like issuing wedding invitation cards but not mentioning the date.

Earlier, senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Tuesday launched a series of sarcastic tweets against the EC, which is under the Opposition party’s criticism for not announcing the dates for Gujarat elections along with Himachal Pradesh’s. The former Finance Minister taunted the poll body by saying the EC had left it to the Prime Minister to announce the Gujarat polls dates.

The present CEC is Achal Kumar Joti a retired chief secretary of Gujarat who was also a Election Commissioner. He is a retired 1975 batch IAS officer belonging to Gujarat cadre.

Modi and Shah are fighting a very tough battle in Gujarat, the stronghold of Modi. Following Rahul’s public rallies attended by several thousand people, Modi rushed to Gujarat after the EC announced the election but not the date.

During his visit Modi announced a series of schemes totalling several hundred crore rupees. It would be Modi’s third visit to Gujarat this month.

Oct 23: Public reception for RN Ravi DIMAPUR, OCT 21 (NPN): Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) along with other Nagaland based civil society organizations (CSOs) including ENPO, NGBF and CNTC would be organizing a ‘public reception’ for R.N. Ravi, Interlocutor for Naga talks at Dimapur Airport on the October 23, public reception committee convenor, Theja Therieh and member secretary Akhum Ayimg stated in a press note.

Ravi would be holding talks with the Working Committee of the six NNPGs. The committee lauded Government of India for responding to the popular demand of the people to officially invite the Working Committee for a political dialogue in order to bring out a lasting solution to the protracted Naga political problem.

Such positive development has made the political process go to a higher level, with an objective to have inclusive talk on equal footing with a hope to provide a sustainable peace in our land, it added.

The committee said such initiative of the GoI to bring the talk

to Naga soil, with a renewed spirit to connect with the people and to rebuild the trust had been missing for a long time. “This level playing field of taking everyone together will usher in a new hope for a new future,” it said.

In this regard, the committee has requested the general public and all concerned citizens to gather at the Dimapur airport for a grand public reception on October 23 at 12:30 p.m. After the reception programme at the airport, the CSOs representing mass-based civil organizations and tribal bodies would hold a “facilitation programme” with R.N. Ravi at Rhododendron Hall, Police Officer’s Mess, Chumoukedima.

Further, the committee also appealed to all the village councils along NH-29 to mobilize its members and receive the Interlocutor as he makes his way to Chumoukedima. The committee has also requested all the Churches in Nagaland to pray for the facilitation programme and the ensuing peace talks programme on Sunday (October 22) and disseminate information for public attendance as well.

DIMAPUR, OCT 21 (NPN): Nagaland’s lone Lok Sabha member and former chief minister of the state, Neiphiu Rio, on Saturday opined that Nagas have not failed in their political struggle, but have succeeded to a great extent as the government of India has recognised Naga issue as political issue and also uniqueness of their history and culture.

Speaking as chief guest on the second day of 50 years celebration of the Diphupar Naga Youth Organization (DNYO) at Diphupar local ground here Saturday, Rio said the sacrifices, sufferings and humiliation that Nagas faced have not gone in vain because “government of India had recognized our struggle”.

He, therefore, urged the Nagas to celebrate what little they have achieved instead of condemning one another.

Describing as “positive signs” the ongoing negotiation between government of India and NSCN (I-M) and recent invitation of six NNPGs to peace process by the government of India, Rio opined that Nagas should all welcome it, extend support and should accept, adding “we should take the settlement what is available today.”

Maintaining that it was not only the Nagas that had suffered, he said many races, many people, many nations had suffered

much more than them. However, through their suffering, they became wiser and became stronger, Rio said.

He, therefore, said it was for Nagas to realize and come together to co-exist and have inclusive settlement that was honourable and acceptable to the Naga people.

“We have to take the ownership for our own future. We want settlement to come and we want peace to be here in our land to grow and to become stronger,” Rio said.

Meanwhile, the MP also lauded the DNYO for committing themselves for the welfare and protection of Diphupar village.

He observed that Golden jubilee celebration was a time for reflecting the 50 years of achievements and failures and also to retrospect and celebrate the achievements. “It is also a time to take the challenges to inspire one

“However, certain forces are trying to create confusion and fear psychosis among the people. Government will ensure that all genuine citizens are included in the NRC and there is no need to worry about,” he said.

Underscoring his government’s four-point objective of making the state free from the scourge of pollution, corruption, terrorism and immigration, Sonowal said his government’s operation against corruption would continue full throttle to provide dignified life to the people of the state.

He also called for concerted efforts from the people at large as well as the four pillars of democracy towards the government’s bid to make Assam free from corruption.

lometres if it is diverted through shorter routes at some portions, but that would involve more compensation.

A compensation row had arisen when fresh claims cropped up, after all the claims which had been proven to be authentic had been cleared.

According to PWD officials, there were over 700 fresh claims for land compensation, in addition to the 160 claims which had already been paid. About Rs 6.88 crore had been paid to 166 landowners whose land passes were verified to be authentic.

According to the district collector of Lawngtlai, the road project affects 42.84 hectares of privateowned gardens, 15.24 hectares of forest land and 181.50 hectares of degraded jhum lands.

While compensation has been disbursed for the 42.84 hectares of private land, compensation for the jhum fallows is yet to be assessed. According to an official, the problems arose as the degraded jhum lands were reported as forest land to the Ministry of Forest and Environment.

The Kaladan MultiModal Transit Transport Project (KMMTT), for which India and Myanmar signed an agreement in 2008, also includes dredging and modernising the Sittwe port, and dredging sections of the Kaladan river for large ship access.

A part of India’s Look East Policy, the project aims to further increase the IndoMyanmar economic ties.

GUWAHATI, OCT 21 (AGENCEIS): During the past 24 hours, several districts in Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, Assam and Meghalaya have been witnessing moderate to heavy intensity of rains. While the remaining areas of Northeastern states have been observing moderate spells of rain.

According to Skymetweather report, the reason for such good rains can be attributed to a depression which has been recurved and is presently seen lying over Murshidabad and adjoining areas of Bangladesh. Also, this system is likely to move North Eastwards and further is expected to weaken gradually. Due to the effect of the above-mentioned weather system, moderate to heavy rain and thundershowers

massive trees were uprooted due to the strong winds and heavy rain since last night include — Road near PWD North Division Office in Tura, Road leading to Upper Chandmari, Mission Compound Tura and Road leading to Cherangre near Tura Public School.

“We have also contacted the MeECL to keep a close watch on the situation and if the need be, power supply will be disconnected for few hours to prevent any untoward incidents,” said the DC adding that they are trying to get the Forest Department to down vulnerable trees posing dangers to life and limb.

“We are very lucky nobody got hurt in the incidents because as it seems, the massive trees had fallen when there was less traffic and during the time when the rains and winds were very strong,” he said.

nor Najma Heptulla should have given him a chance to form the ministry. The Congress “defectors” may not find it easy to come back now that the Congress national leaders have toughened their stand. Recently Congress leader Salman Khurshid said in Shillong, capital of Meghalaya in the northeast, that those who had left the party shall not be welcomed back.

“Some members who were given more than they deserved had left the party for personal gains and they are not welcome again,” Khurshid said.

Ibobi said, “It does not matter whether the Congress comes to power again or not now.” But he and other state leaders see light at the end of the tunnel as the Congress has started retrieving lost ground elsewhere in the country too.

6 persons injured in M’laya road mishap

IMPHAL, OCT 21 (IANS): Manipur opposition leader and former Chief Minister for 15 years Okram Ibobi Singh and other senior Congress leaders are upbeat that six party MLAs who had joined the ruling BJP are left holding empty sacks.

The six have been denied ministerial berths and most of them are likely to return to the party.

Anticipating such a development, the Congress did not approach Speaker Y. Khemchand with a disqualification petition against them.

Ibobi told IANS on Saturday that as a tactical move no action is being sought against them so far.

“However we have gone to the High Court against the inordinate delay in disqualifying Forest Minister T. Shyamkumar, the Congress MLA who joined the BJP

TURA, OCT 21 (AGENCIES): Heavy rains coupled with strong winds lashed certain parts of Meghalaya since Friday, causing traffic congestion and chaos in certain areas of Tura in West Garo Hills as roads are being blocked by fallen trees.

According to the Deputy Commissioner of West Garo Hills Pravin Bakshi, 3-4 cases of tree felling incidents have been reported from several parts of the district particularly Tura on Saturday and fortunately, no casualties have been reported. “The Disaster Management team is on the job. We are trying to clear the roads and there are some places where traffic has been halted while in other places, temporary traffic clearance has been given. We are keeping a close watch on the situation,” Bakshi told TNTThe Northeast Today.

They know that they have a good chance to get re-elected in the next elections in view of the good developmental works the government has done. This is the only reason for their joining the BJP.” However Ibobi said, “The state government has not done anything new.

What it has done is to give a new nomenclature to the schemes started by the Congress government.”

In the 60-member House, the ruling Congress had bagged 28 seats while the BJP got 21 seats in the elections earlier this year.

But by joining hands with some splinter parties the BJP commanded the support of 32 and the Governor invited Biren to form the ministry.

Gen Rawat says army has to be prepared

Army chief General Bipin Rawat addresses media after the presentation of the President’s Standard to 47 Armoured Regiment in Jammu on Saturday.

Jammu, Oct 21 (AGENCIES): Army chief General Bipin Rawat said on Saturday the Army has to be prepared to counter any Doklam-like situation along the Sino-Indian border.

Rawat also said the mountain strike corps, designated as 17 Corps, was being raised as a “force of deterrence” and the process of its establishment was on schedule.

Asked if the 17 corps was being established to counter China, Rawat said, “Why should we say it is

against whom? It is for deterrence and deterrence is against any threat that may confront the nation.”

The Cabinet Committee on Security headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi had cleared the setting up of the 17 Corps in the latter part of 2014.

So far, one division comprising nearly 25,000 soldiers has been raised for the Corps, which is at present headquartered at Ranchi. Once the raising of the 72 division is complete, the Corps will be based

‘Over 100 WSS projects underway in Jammu region’ JAMMU, Oct 21 (PTI): More than 100 projects were being carried out under the Water Supply Schemes (WSS) in the Jammu region, minister Sham Lal Choudhary said today.

The public health-engineering (PHE), irrigation and flood control minister said out of the total 108 projects, 18 were being constructed in Kathua district and 17 in Jammu district.

Eleven WSS projects were being built in rural areas of the region, he said at a review meeting of the department.

An official spokesman said 13 projects each were

coming up in Akhnoor, Rajouri and Ramban districts, 11 in Doda, eight each in Samba and Kishtwar, five in Udhampur and two in Poonch.

The minister directed officials to complete all the projects by the end of this year, the spokesman added.

He said Choudhary also directed them to speed up the process of geo-tagging of PHE installations in Jammu and asked the engineers to improve the infrastructure of the Working Standards Laboratories in all the districts of the state.

out of Panagarh in West Bengal.

Asked if there was any possibility of a Doklam-like standoff with China in any other part of the Line of Actual Control (LAC), Rawat said, “We have to remain prepared”.

The 73-day face-off between Indian and Chinese troops in Doklam started on June 16 after the Indian side stopped the construction of a road by the Chinese Army.

Rawat, while talking to reporters on the sidelines of the function where he presented the President’s Standards to 47 Armoured Regiment, also said that the security situation in the Kashmir Valley was improving.

“I think the security situation in the Kashmir Valley is improving and what is happening now in the Kashmir Valley is possibly highlighting the frustration of the terrorists and those who are supporting them,” he said.

Maoist bandh hits life; ultras kill one tribal in Kandhamal BHUBANESWAR, Oct 21 (PTI): Normal life in five southern Odisha districts was hit in a dawn-to-dusk bandh called today by Maoists, who allegedly killed a man in Kandhamal district and abducted a woman during the agitation.

The 12-hour bandh was called by the Bansadhara-Ghumusura-Nagabali division of the CPI(Maoist) demanding immediate arrest of culprits in the gang rape of a minor at Kunduli village in Koraput district, a stop to violence against tribal women and solution to the Mahanadi water row.

It affected life in Rayagada, Kandhamal, Kalahandi, Gajapati and Ganjam districts despite deployment of BSF, CRPF, SOG and general police in sensitive places to ensure peace, officials said. During the bandh, government buses remained off the roads in the five districts, official sources said. Private transportation vehicles were in operation in urban centres, where, schools, colleges and shops remained open,

they said.

The rebels blocked NH-59 with logs near Tagada bridge, Baliguda and Tumudibandh in Kandhamal district. Banners urging people to make the agitation a success was put up by them at several places.

On BhawanipatnaRayagada route, there was complete halt to vehicular traffic.

Vehicular movement in Boudh district was also affected due to the bandh despite heavy security arrangements by the district administration, they said.

The body of a man allegedly killed by Maoists was recovered by the police from a place in KandhamalKalahandi border.

“We can say whether the man was killed by Maoists only after proper verification,” DGP R P Sharma told reporters here.

Villagers said that a group of armed rebels came to the village at around 1 a m and forcibly took away the man, identified as Mohan Majhi and killed him this morning.

BJP, Congress spar over Rahul’s popularity on Twitter NEW DELHI, Oct 21 (PTI): A war of words today broke out between the BJP and the Congress over Rahul Gandhi’s Twitter resurgence after news agency ANI suggested ‘bots’ or web robots that can produce automated mass retweets were behind it. Information and Broadcasting Minister Smriti Irani took to the microblogging website to suggest that the retweets were from fake accounts abroad.

“Perhaps @OfficeOfRG planning to sweep polls in Russia, Indonesia & Kazakhstan ?? #RahulWaveInKazakh,” she said

Probe assets of Jay Shah, says Lalu; slams GST

in a tweet which tagged the media report. Questioning whether automated bots were mass retweeting Gandhi’s tweets, the report said that on October 15, ‘OfficeofRG’ retweeted US President Donald Trump’s tweet praising American-Pakistani relations with a caption ‘Modi ji quick, looks like President Trump needs another hug’. The tweet quickly reached 20,000 retweets and currently has touched 30,000, the report claimed, adding a close analysis of this tweet showed that these alleged ‘bots’ with a Russian, Kazakh or Indonesian

characteristic were routinely retweeting the Congress vice president’s tweets. An Internet bot is a software application that runs automated tasks (scripts) over the Internet. However, the veracity of report could not be independently ascertained. Rajeev Shukla, Congress Rajya Sabha MP and Gandhi family loyalist, jumped to the party vice president’s defence, saying social media connects the whole world and retweets originating from Russia, Kazakhstan and Indonesia should not be considered out of place.

JAWAHAR NAVODAYA VIDYALAYA : ZUKETSA DIST. PHEK.NAGALAND

Lalu Prasad and Meira Kumar during the 130th birth anniversary celebration of Sri Krishna Singh in Patna.

PATNA, Oct 21 (AGENCIES): Rashtriya Janata Dal supremo Lalu Prasad on Saturday slammed BJP president Amit Shah and demanded a probe into huge growth of his son’s assets.

He was addressing a Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee function here to celebrate the birth anniversary of the State’s first Chief Minister Sri Krishna Singh.

However, the ruling JD(U) and BJP leaders criticised the Congress for inviting “tainted” Prasad as chief guest at their function, while Congress leaders asked them “was Lalu a good man when Nitish Kumar shared power with him?”

“The BJP and its leaders call me and my sons as scamsters… what is Amit Shah’s son doing?… how could assets of the company of Jay Shah suddenly grew thousand times?...why there is no investigation into it?” the RJD supremo wanted to know.

He slammed the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for implementing Goods and Services Tax in the country. “GST has ruined the economy of the country,” charged Prasad.

Acting BPCC president

Kaukab Quadri, senior Congress leaders Meira Kumar, Akhilesh Singh, Nikhil Kumar and Sadanand Singh were present at the function.

“The Congress will revive its glorious past in Bihar,” said Akhilesh Singh, likely to be the next BPCC president.

The RJD chief shared stage with Congress leaders for the first time after Chief Minister Nitish Kumar walked out of the grand alliance to form the NDA government in Bihar.

However, on Saturday, Prasad landed in trouble when the Bihar government handed over the investigation of the ‘soil scam’ to the State Vigilance department.

Prasad’s elder son Tej Pratap Yadav, who was Forest and Environment Minister in the previous grand alliance government, is an accused in the scam.

It is charged that Tej Pratap awarded a Rs 90-lakh contract to fill the earth in the Patna Zoo to a company with the soil dug out from a shopping mall site allegedly belonged to his siblings and mother.

Meanwhile, the JD(U) and BJP leaders criticised the Congress saying, “The Congress in Bihar has totally surrendered to Lalu.”

Recap of the current Nagaland political crisis

Vol. XXVII NO. 317 Dimapur, Sunday, October 22, 2017

I

Too much short term

t is certainly a concern that the state government comprising of the chief minister and the council of ministers and some bureaucrats, have been announcing high sounding plans for economic uplift of Nagaland during the past decades but after the din and noise settled, all these grandiose plans have turned out to be like pulling wool as the other intention has been to serve powerful vested interests. Nagaland has lost momentum for development after the 90s as the state’s apparatus was woefully inadequate and unable to confront various challenges posed.

These challenges were multifarious, ranging from rising and greater organised systematic corruption at various levels of the government through a nexus of corrupt politicians, bureaucrats and middlemen. The all-pervading or cancerous cells of corruption within the government system has seriously damaged the nerve centre with the result that logic and reasoning have become the victims. If the government has lost the moral bearing for thinking logically and reasonably, there is also less that can be said of people and their social organisations. The picture of the state is one where roads and bridges are in near total collapse as regularly brought out in the local media. There is no power supply beyond six hours a day out of the 24 hours due to intermittent and long spells of power cuts.

The moral authority of the legally constituted government has been subjected to the political solution as if that alone will provide the miraculous deliverance from all the terrible condition that the state and its people find themselves today. The state government has made big blunders in the recent past such as Nagaland Municipal Act 2001 which was amended in 2006 and then doing a complete about-turn in November 2016. Why was the government so keen to hold ULB elections by riding roughshod over people’s concerns? Earlier, there was the calculated risk in giving blanket recognition to Rongmeis as a scheduled tribe of the state in July 2012. Fears of such a decision were not primarily directed against the Rongmeis but the instruments so created through a decision that over rode the 1977 government notification with regard to the recognised tribes in the state. The present dispensation ruling the state is responsible for taking the decisions.There was also the issue of declaring the foothills in five districts of Wokha, Mokokchung, Dimapur, Mon, Peren etc as Nagaland Special Development Zone(NSDZ) which was passed by the assembly in March 2014. Nagaland Post brought this to the attention of the public by raising fears about some of the clauses undermining the Article 371A. In July the same year, Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) made it a public issue and the government was forced to shelve the plan. The plan may have been shelved in the above districts but there are indications that it will be revived in some other foothill areas of Nagaland through a subterfuge. The other is the unsolved problem of oil exploration and exploitation which was rushed through brute majority in the house in enacting the NP&NG Regulations 2012. One controversial company MoGPL was given rights over lucrative oil fields but the Centre has yet to okay the bill. These decisions have raised serious questions about the desire for short term gains and inviting the consequences of long term devastations. Today, if public feel their government no longer serves their interests then they also must question themselves.

DailyDevotion Impulsiveness or Discipleship?

But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith… —Jude 20 There was nothing of the nature of impulsive or thoughtless action about our Lord, but only a calm strength that never got into a panic. Most of us develop our Christianity along the lines of our own nature, not along the lines of God’s nature. Impulsiveness is a trait of the natural life, and our Lord always ignores it, because it hinders the development of the life of a disciple.

Watch how the Spirit of God gives a sense of restraint to impulsiveness, suddenly bringing us a feeling of selfconscious foolishness, which makes us instantly want to vindicate ourselves. Impulsiveness is all right in a child, but is disastrous in a man or woman— an impulsive adult is always a spoiled person. Impulsiveness needs to be trained into intuition through discipline.

Discipleship is built entirely on the supernatural grace of God. Walking on water is easy to someone with impulsive boldness, but walking on dry land as a disciple of Jesus Christ is something altogether different. Peter walked on the water to go to Jesus, but he “followed Him at a distance” on dry land (Mark 14:54).

We do not need the grace of God to withstand crises— human nature and pride are sufficient for us to face the stress and strain magnificently. But it does require the supernatural grace of God to live twenty-four hours of every day as a saint, going through drudgery, and living an ordinary, unnoticed, and ignored existence as a disciple of Jesus. It is ingrained in us that we have to do exceptional things for God— but we do not. We have to be exceptional in the ordinary things of life, and holy on the ordinary streets, among ordinary people— and this is not learned in five minutes.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur Sunday, October 22, 2017

M

uch has been said, discussed and written on the ongoing political crisis in Nagaland. This statement tries to highlight as pointedly as possible the core points involved, for factual information of the esteemed citizens of the State.

There are two issues involved. One: Which NPF Party is the real NPF,- the one led by Dr.Shurhozelie Liezietsu or the other group led by Mr. Neiphiu Rio? Two: Is the present govt. under Mr. T R Zeliang a legitimate, legal and constitutional govt.,boiling down to the fundamental issue of whose ‘Whip’ is the legal and constitutional one to have been allowed to be applied in the State Assembly to decide majority support of the MLAs? The litmus test for the two core issues are the application or violation of the relevant provisions of two Constitutions,- that of the NPF and the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution of India.

Let us recap the facts.

1. Legal Status of the President and Current NPF Central Office Bearers(COB): i. The NPF is a political party registered with and recognized by the Election Commission of India (ECI).

Filing of the Party’s Constitution with the ECI is one of the mandatory, prerequisite conditions for the Party’s recognition by the ECI. Amendments to the Party’s Constitution, if any, are to be filed too with the ECI. In Party affairs, the Party Constitution has the force of law. ii. The NPF Constitution, last amended on 9th February 2016 called, “ 8th Amendment to the Constitution”, is the legally instituted and prescribed “Guidebook” of the Party, to be followed in letter and spirit in all the functioning and decisionmaking processes of the Party.

Any action or decision taken in the name of the NPF outside of, or in violation of relevant provisions of the NPF Constitution is illegal and ultra vires as far as the NPF is concerned. iii. Was the NPF Constitution amended surreptitiously and illegally as alleged by the detractors? Consider the hard facts. The 8Th Amendment of the Constitution now in vogue was in pursuance of a decision taken by the NPF General Con-

T

vention held on 26th November, 2014. In both the 7th and 8th amendment copies of the NPF Constitution, one of the specific powers vested in the Central Executive Council is : “To amend/repeal/alter the provisions of the various Schedules to the Constitution”.

Then, very clearly, the Constitution stipulates: “A C e n t r a l E xe c u t ive Council(CEC) meeting must be convened at least once in a calendar year which may substitute a General convention in times of exigencies”.

When needed, the NPF CEC can decide issues in place of a General Convention! All it takes is to have the decision ratified in the next General Convention,-if required. In any case, the 8th Amendment of the NPF Constitution, approved by the CEC and notified on 9th February 2016 was already in place and in use long before the 36 NPF MLAs led by Mr. T R Zeliang and Mr. Niphiu Rio started stabbing the back of the constitutionally elected NPF President in 2017, calling their benefactor all sorts of names.

Secondly, as alleged by the dissident NPF MLAs, did the Party President Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu ever act or take decisions in Party matters in a dictatorial or authoritarian manner that precipitated their revolt against him? The NPF is a democratic Party and its Constitution was adopted democratically.

Within this Party Constitution, is the President required to act and decide issues as per its provisions, or should he resort to extraneous considerations outside the Constitution, such as so-called, ‘democratic norms’, ‘principles of natural justice’ etc. in violation of the clear constitutional provisions? We challenge the detractors to point out specific instances of violation of the provisions of the NPF Constitution by the President. Resorting to cheap rhetoric without any substance or clear evidence by the dissident MLAs simply to mislead the public is indeed not only unfortunate but is highly deplorable. iv. The constitution and modality for election of the Party COB, headed by the President, are clearly prescribed in the NPF Constitution, under Article iv

2.a),b),c); 5.a),b),c) and 6. b), read with Article xii B.7. After observing the due process as prescribed by the NPF Constitution, they are to be elected in a General Convention by the Active Members(only) of the Party, present and voting. v. In the instant case, the COB, headed by Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu as President, were elected unanimously by the NPF Active Members (5221) in the General Convention held on 26th November, 2014 for a 5-year term tenure. After the ‘Sovima Crisis”, in the General Convention that followed on 30th April 2015, this position was re-affirmed. Relevant Party file records, newspaper clippings, photographs and video recordings will bear witness to the authenticity of the decisions taken in the Conventions. No General Convention of the NPF took place thereafter. As such, legally and factually, the validity of the COB with Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu as President of the NPF continues.

2. Legal Status of 36 MLAs electing ‘Interim President” etc of the so-called NPF: i. 36 MLAs, claiming to be in majority, ‘elected’ an “Interim President” of the NPF and eventually made him the ‘President’ of the NPF in place of the duly and legally elected President, Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu. Of those 36 MLAs, 22 including Mr. T R Zeliang were expelled from the NPF Party and as such, for the purpose of Party functioning, do not belong to the NPF fold anymore. In Party affairs, they cannot participate or claim to represent the NPF Party in any manner whatsoever. Of the remaining 14 MLAs, 10 were suspended from the Party’s Primary and Active Membership, and so do not have any voting rights or decision-making power within the NPF Party. Also, the Hon’ble MLAs still in the NPF should not forget that within the NPF Party, each of them has one vote only! ii. It is truly preposterous and ludicrous, to say the least, that those 36 MLAs in the name of majority Legislators had the audacity to subsume and appropriate for themselves the authority and powers of the NPF General Convention and army of Active Members, in flagrant

violation of NPF Constitution to ‘appoint’ Mr. Neiphiu Rio, another suspended member of the NPF, as the NPF President and ‘invest’ him with extra-constitutional powers to summon the NPF CEC meeting and General Convention, as if the NPF Constitution and the duly constituted Party organization did not exist at all. And all this, in place of the legally and constitutionally elected President of the NPF Party, Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu and the COB, in a flagrant attempt to stage a coup d’e-tat.

3. Whether a Split or Merger Has Taken Place in the NPF: Going by the provisions of the 10th Schedule of the Indian Constitution and relevant stipulations as laid down in the NPF Constitution, and looking at their actions so far, neither a split nor a merger with some other political party, as of now, appears to be the intention of the 36 MLAs and Mr. Neiphiu Rio. What they do want is to oust lock stock and barrel the duly elected and constituted COB headed by Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu, occupy the NPF House and snatch the NPF Cock symbol by any Machiavellian means possible at whatever the cost. Clearly, this is political laissez-faire of a most unprecedented magnitude.

4. What do those with the True and valid NPF Constitutional Powers Say? The relevant details of actual roll of the Members of the Central Executive Council and valid Active Members of the NPF across the board are all in the Party Central Office. The records show without a shadow of doubt that the overwhelming majority of the CEC Members and Active Members of the Party are solidly with the true and original NPF led by Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu.

5. Constitutional and Legal Validity of Appointment of Party Legislature Chief Whip: i. Without going into the manipulative circumstances leading to the installation and unconstitutional continuance of Mr. T R Zeliang as Chief Minister, and purely on the point of law in force, paragraph 2(1) (b) of the Tenth Schedule of the Indian Constitution explicitly underlines that ‘direction’ issued to the legislators to cast their votes in the House in a certain

manner as decided by the Party is given by the Political Party to which they belong, and not by the Legislators themselves.

Such ‘direction’ from the Political Party is issued through a ‘Whip’ among the Legislators appointed by the Political Party. If an MLA votes or abstains from voting in the House contrary to the ‘direction’ without prior permission of the Party, or if he has voluntarily given up his membership of his Political Party, then he will face the consequence of disqualification from his seat in the House(paragraph 2(1)(a)). ii. In the instant case, on 21 July 2017 when Floor Test took place in the Assembly, Mr. Kiyanilie Peseyie was the constitutionally appointed Chief Whip of the NPF Legislature Party and the Party directive was issued through him to all the NPF MLAs. In blatant violation of the Constitutional provision, 36 dissident MLAs voted against the NPF Party directive given through its legally appointed Chief Whip. Obviously, it is just a matter of time before they eventually face the legal consequences for deliberately violating the Constitutional provision.

Those 36 MLAs informed the Hon’ble Speaker that they had appointed Mr. T R Zeliang as Whip of the Legislature Party w.e.f. 4/7/2017. Once again, those 36 MLAs subsumed and appropriated for themselves the authority and power vested in the NPF Party by the Indian Constitution. Most astonishingly, the Hon’ble Speaker accepted the unconstitutional appointment of his own brother-in-law Mr. T R Zeliang as the Whip, rather than the standing appointment on 14th November 2014, of Mr. Kiyanilie Peseyie as Chief Whip in accordance to the Constitutional provision and Parliamentary procedure.

And so, Mr. T R Zeliang’s unconstitutional govt. continues to this day. But for how much longer? It surely is just a matter of time. The house of cards built by Mr. Neiphiu Rio and Mr. T R Zeliang, respectively as “President NPF Party” and Head of the Govt. of Nagaland will collapse and come tumbling down when the winds of justice begin to blow over them.

Legal opinion of Fali S. Nariman & V. Giri on NPF whip

oday people try to interpret every legal issue in their own way without consulting legal luminaries. NPF led DAN Govt has sought legal opinion from Senior Council of Supreme Court for clarity of those people who are thoroughly confused on NPF Whip and matters related to it. The legal opinion of Fali S. Nariman and V. Giri, Senior Advocates of Supreme Court is reproduced hereunder for general understanding of NPF Whip and issues surrounding it.

1.The legal opinion of Fali S. Nariman, Senior Advocate of Supreme Court: QUERY: It is in view of the conflicting cross-directions issued — (a) By one Mr. Kiyanilie Peseyie claiming to be Chief Whip of the NPF through letter dated 14th November, 2014; which had been notified on 15.11.2014 by the Nagaland Legislative Assembly Notification with effect from 14.11.2014; and (b) By Mr. T.R. Zeliang appointed as ‘Whip’ by NPF Legislature party on 4th July, 2017, which had been acknowledged and Notified on the 19th July, 2017 by the Nagaland Legislative Assembly Secretariat (Kohima) - with effect from 4th July, 2017.

My Opinion has been sought by the Querist as to whether in terms of paragraph 2(b) of the Tenth Schedule, in the events that have happened the claim

made in the Petition filed by Mr. Kiyanilie Peseyie before the Speaker is a legitimate and valid claim.

OPINION: In my opinion it is not, for the reasons given below: (a) The two Notifications of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly Secretariat — the one dated 15th November, 2014 and the other Notification dated 19th July, 2017 make it clear as to the period of operation of the directions under each Notification. In the Notification dated 15th November, 2014, of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly Secretariat, Kohima, it is stated (and recognised) by the Secretariat that Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu, President of the NPF has appointed Mr. Kiyanilie Peseyie as the Chief Whip of the NPF Legislature Party w.e.f. 14th November, 2014; its operation remained effective until the issue by the Nagaland Legislative Assembly Secretariat of the later notification dated 19th July, 2017 wherein it has been acknowledged that the NPF Legislative Party has informed the Hon’ble Speaker of the appointment of Mr. T.R. Zeliang, Leader NPF Legislative Party as Whip of the NPF Legislative Party w.e.f. 04.07.2017. (b) The period of operation of the direction contained in the first Notification of 15th November, 2014, got superseded by the Notification of 19th July, 2017, which recognised Mr. T.R. Zeliang, Leader

of NPF Legislature Party as Whip of the NPF Legislature Party with effect from 4th July, 2017. (c) Since the questions raised are: (i) As to the abstention of voting at the meeting of the Assembly on 19th July, 2017 (“to test the majority support of the present Cabinet headed by Chief Minister Dr. Shurhozelie Liesietsu”); and (ii) As to the votes recorded at the meeting of the Assembly on 21st July, 2017.

The only operative Whip on both these dates was that of Mr. T.R. Zeliang, Leader NPF Legislature Party and Whip NPF Legislature Party and not that of Mr. Kiyanilie Peseyie — altogether apart from the fact that at the Assembly Session of 19th July, 2017, there was in fact no voting at all and hence there could have been no abstention from voting within in the meaning of paragraph 2(b) (1) of the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution of India. (d) It is an acknowledgement of the position that the operative Whip on both these dates was that of Mr. T.R. Zeliang, Leader NPF Legislature Party and Whip NPF Legislature Party (and not that of Mr. Kiyanilie Peseyie) that the Writ Petition was filed on 25th July, 2017, by Dr. Shurhozelie Liesietsu and Mr. Kiyanilie Peseyie.

By Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietus and Mr. Kiyanilie Peseyie to quash and set aside Nagaland Legislative

Assembly Notification dated 19th July, 2017 “accepting and or recognising Shri T.R. Zeliang as the Chief Whip of the NPF Legislature Party”. Hence, unless the Writ Petition No. 138K of 2017 is adjudicated in favour of the petitioners Dr. Shurhozelie Liesetsu and Mr. Kiyanilie Peseyie, the effective direction remains that of the Whip Mr. T.R. Zeliang Leader of NPF Legislature Party — with effect from 4th July, 2017.

In addition, I am also of the view that: (i) The vote of the 37 NPF Legislature Party MLAs in favour of Mr. T.R. Zeliang strictly conforms to the Whip issued by Mr. T.R. Zeliang on 19th July, 2017 and consequently there has been no incurring of any disqualification under paragraph 2(b) of the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution. (ii) Since the petition filed before the Speaker by Mr. Kiyanilie Peseyie has not disclosed the initiation and pendency of Writ Petition No. 138K of 2017 before the Kohima Bench of the Gauhati High Court, there can be no decision on the Petition filed before the Speaker so long as High Court Writ Petition No. 138K of 2017 is not decided — since the Writ Petition 138K of 2017 acknowledges that the Notification of 19th July, 2017 issued by the Nagaland Legislative Assembly accepting and recognising Mr. T.R. Zeliang as Chief Whip of NPF Legislature Party, re-

mains as an impediment to the Petitioners in the Writ Petition obtaining any relief unless and until the notification of 19.7.2017 is quashed and/or set aside. (iii) It is axiomatic that a subsequent appointment of any person to any position impliedly overrides and revokes any prior appointment. Consequently, the alleged prior appointment of Mr. Kiyanilie Peseyie as Chief Whip of the party “with effect from 14th November, 2014,” recognised by the secretariat of the Legislative Assembly and notified on 15.11.2014 stood superseded by the Notification of 19th July, 2017, of the Secretariat of the Legislative Assembly w.e.f. 04.07.201Z; consequently, so long as the recognition by the Speaker of the appointment of Mr. T.R. Zeliang as Leader of the NPF Legislature Party

as Whip of the NPF Legislature Party remains valid and continuing and is not quashed or set aside by the High Court in the pending Writ Petition it is not open to Mr.Kiyanilie Peseyie to stake his claim as Leader/ Chief Whip of the NPF Legislature Party and or to consequently claim to invoke the provisions of paragraph 2(b) of the Tenth Schedule.

2.The legal opinion of V. Giri, Senior Advocate of Supreme Court: QUERIES: A . W h e t h e r D r.

Shurhozelie Liezietsu can authorize any NPF MLA to be the whip and also to issue a whip to defeat his own party’s Chief Minister on a motion of confidence moved in the House on 21.07.2017?

Urgent attention Sir,

The road repairs undertaken lately are almost worn out even as traffic flow on those roads increases by the day. In addition to heavy traffic on the better roads, the neglected pot holed roads in some areas need to be attended to. By the time, those areas are repaired the previous better road starts cracking up and makes commuting very difficult. The constant drizzle during the past two days have added to the woes of the commuters and happy breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

Roads need urgent attention.

Vijayan slams BJP for abusing Taj Mahal Pinarayi Vijayan

Temple at Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh and added, “They are attempting to trigger communal tension in the country by moving towards constructing the shrine.”

He slammed the BJPled central government and alleged that the federal principles had been thrown to the wind, in tune with the policy of the RSS, which believed in centralisation of power.

Vijayan accused RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat of “defaming” Kerala with his statement that it had become a place for “Jihadis” under the LDF government.

He also came down on the just-concluded Jana Raksha Yatra of the BJP in Kerala, which was attended by party president Amit Shah among others, and described it as an attempt to create tension in the south-

ern state.

The LDF has organised two ‘jana jagaran jatha’, one is being led by CPI state secretary Kannam Rajendran from here and another

by CPI(M) state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan from Manjeswaram in Kasaragod, to counter the BJP’s “communal agenda” and highlight the state government’s achievements.

After flagging off the ‘jatha’ at Manjeswaram, CPI national secretary D Raja, criticising Katiyar’s remark on the Taj Mahal, said, “Now they (BJP-RSS) want to demolish the Taj Mahal.” He claimed that the RSS had become very influential at the Centre ever since Narendra Modi became the prime minister.

“The RSS is an organisation with a communal and fascist ideology,” Raja said, adding, “Now they want to re-write history and their target is the Taj Mahal.” The ‘jatha’ led by Rajendran is scheduled to conclude at Ernakulam and the one led by Balakrishnan at Thrissur, after criss-crossing all the 140 Assembly constituencies of the state, on November 3.

AAP comes out with first list Nagas have not failed in their struggle: Rio p-1) others, Advisor DUDA, Describing Diphupar of 11 candidates for Guj polls (FromWords of gratitude Pang yu Phom, MLA, village as the “doorway

AHMEDABAD, Oct 21 (PTI): Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today declared its first list of candidates for eleven Assembly constituencies in Gujarat including Rajkot (West), while stating that it would not contest from the seats where it is weak.

Rajkot (West) is currently represented by chief minister Vijay Rupani.

AAP is going to field businessman Rajesh Bhut from the seat.

Delhi minister and AAP’s Gujarat election incharge Gopal Rai told reporters here that the names were finalised at a meeting of the party’s political affairs committee in Delhi yesterday.

There are a total of 182 Assembly seats in Gujarat. The election schedule is yet to be announced.

The constituency-wise candidates announced by the AAP today are: Anil Verma (Bapunagar), Ramesh Patel (Unjha), Rajesh Bhut (Rajkot (West)), J J Mewada (Danilimda), Nimeesha Khunt (Gondal), M D Manajaria (Lathi), Ar jun Rathwa (Chhota Udepur), Rajendra Patel (Padra), Hanif Jamadar (Karjan), Rajiv Pandey (Pardi) and Ram

Dhaduk (Kamrej).

Of these, nine constituencies are currently represented by BJP MLAs, while Danilimda in Ahmedabad and Chhota Udepur are with the Congress.

“We will be fighting these elections with a pledge to rid Gujarat of BJP. We had earlier said we will fight against the BJP on select seats. We want to give a direct fight to the ruling party, and we will not contest from any seat where we are weak and where there is possibility of division of votes which may help the BJP,” Rai said.

Among AAP’s candidates, Manajaria is a retired deputy collector and Mewada is a retired deputy superintendent of police.

Verma is an educationist while Rathwa, Patel and Khunt are social activists.

Rai said the party will contest from only those seats which fulfil the criteria decided by its high command. Candidates for more seats would be declared in coming days.

He asserted that AAP’s contest is against the BJP and it will not end up helping the ruling party by eating into Congress’ votes.

Congress gets ready to UP doubles ex-gratia for kin of finalise Rahul elevation cops killed on duty to Rs 50L

New Delhi, Oct 21 (AGENCIES): The Congress party could finalise the election schedule to formally elevate Rahul Gandhi as the next party president in the coming week. Sources say the Congress Working Committee (CWC), the highest decision making body, could meet as early as Tuesday to decide the date for completing the election process.

“So far, no intimation has come to us about a meeting on October 24 but it can be called on a day’s notice,” said a CWC member. The CWC will approve the schedule prepared by the party’s central election

authority (CEA). Sources say Kerala Lok Sabha MP Mullappally Ramachandran, who heads the CEA, has already handed over a tentative schedule to Sonia Gandhi. Once the schedule is announced, the process could get over in less than a week.

“Technically, the election process is almost over as nearly two-thirds of our State units have passed resolutions asking Rahul ji to take over as President. But procedural requirements like announcing the date for filing of nomination, time for withdrawal etc will have to be followed.

LUC K N OW, O c t 2 1 (PTI): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced today that exgratia amount given to the kin of policemen killed on duty will be doubled to Rs 50 lakh. This include Rs 40 lakh (up from Rs 20 lakh) given to the family of slain policemen and Rs 10 lakh (up from Rs five lakh) given to their parents.

After paying tributes to slain personnel at the Police Lines here on the occasion of Police Commemoration Day, Adityanath said, “The state government is with the family of martyrs and is tak-

ing necessary steps in their interests.”

ENSF affirmed that the 2009 government notification was not a fresh notification the federation was persuading the government and responsible department to implement.

Accusing the department of breaching the government notification “adamantly”, the federation said that it would not compromise with its demands until justice was delivered.

Further, the federation also warned the responsible authority for any untoward eventualities during its course of agitation. ENSF said the federation would not hold any responsibility for “unforeseen and ugly situation” that arose during the period of its agitation.

The Ar my chief blamed the social media for the radicalisation of people, particularly the youth in the state. “It (radicalisation) is happening mainly because of the social media,” he said.

Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 21 (AGENCIES): The Left parties on Saturday said the vilification of the Taj Mahal

by BJP leaders exposed their “intolerance” towards matters they could not associate themselves with.

Inaugurating a ‘Jana Jagaran Jatha’ organised by the ruling CPI-M led Left Democratic Front (LDF) here, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan flayed the statement of BJP leader Vinay Katiyar that the Taj Mahal was previously a Shiva temple.

“It all started when Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath omitted the Taj Mahal from the list of important places to visit in that state.

“It showed that...they cannot tolerate the name Shahjahan, who built the historic and heritage structure,” he said, adding, “We have to seriously think as regards which direction our country is headed to.”

Attacking the BJP-RSS, the CPI(M) leader alleged that the saffron party had a “clear agenda” behind raking up the issue of Ram

NEW DELHI OCT 21 (PTI): With the markets ruling at an all-time high given the gush of liquidity, especially by mutual funds, experts have started to worry about whether this pace of inflow can continue going ahead. Christopher Wood, managing director and equity strategist at CLSA in his weekly note, GREED & fear questions whether the scale of inflows witnessed thus far will be sustained in coming months given the pending issuance of new equity that the stock market will have to absorb.

“This new supply is coming at a time when the stock market is trading at the top end of the historic valuation range. The other risk is that foreign investors have turned net sellers of India since August. The foreign caution is explained in part by the pending supply and high valuations. Global

NEW DELHI, OCT 21 (PTI): The Delhi High Court has decided to shift all Labour Courts and an Industrial Tribunal from the Karkardooma district courts to the Dwarka district courts from November 6.

In a circular issued by the Delhi High Court Registrar General, it has been mentioned that besides eight Labour Courts and an Industrial Tribunal, two Central Government Industrial Tribunals (CGIT) have also been shifted to the Dwarka court in south west Delhi.

No reason has been cited in the circular for shifting of the labour courts.

Another concern as regards India, Wood says, is the absence of a meaningful recovery in corporate earnings. Though the aggregate trend is likely to reverse, this, he says, comes on a lower base given the lingering impact of demonetisation.

“Hopes for a sustained revival of earnings are still constrained by the continuing lack of any evidence of a pickup in the investment cycle. Credit growth in India also remains very weak though it is not quite as weak as it appears if only including bank lending. This is because of active bond issuance,” Wood says.

Thalassaemia, an inherited blood disorder, falls under the category of benchmark disability subsequent to the new Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. The new Act has also increased the reservation of persons with disability category from 3 to 5 per cent.

NEW YORK, OCT 21 (IANS): An experimental vaccine that targets dozens of strains of the bacterium that causes pneumonia has the potential to significantly bring down the number of deaths due to the disease, a new study says. The vaccine provoked an immune response to 72 forms of Streptococcus pneumoniae in laboratory tests on animals, according to the study published in the journal Science Advances. “We’ve made tremendous progress fighting the spread of pneumonia, especially among children.

But if we’re ever going to rid ourselves of the disease, we need to create smarter and more cost-effective vaccines,” said the study’s colead author Blaine Pfeifer, Associate Professor at University at Buffalo in New York. In 2004, pneumonia killed more than two million children worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). By 2015, the number was less than one million.

TOKYO, OCT 21 (AGENCIES): Japan’s leader may have made the right call after all, if not for his country than for himself. Media polls indicate Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s ruling coalition will handily win a general election tomorrow, possibly even retaining its two-thirds majority in the more powerful lower house of parliament.

Japanese voters may not love Abe, but they appear to want to stick with what they know, rather than hand the reins to an opposition with little or no track record.

Will allow release of secret JFK files, says Trump WASHINGTON, OCT 21 (IANS): US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he will allow the National Archives to release thousands of pages of secret government documents on the John F. Kennedy (JFK) assassination, a media report said.

“Subject to the receipt of further information, I will be allowing, as President, the long blocked and classified JFK FILES to be opened,” Trump tweeted at 8.35 a.m., the New York Post reported.

Assassination experts say the secret records may reveal new details about what the CIA knew of assassin Lee Harvey Oswald’s trip to the Soviet and Cuban embassies in Mexico City weeks before he shot Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963. The National Archives is required to release all of its JFK documents by Thursday, 25 years to the day after President George H.W. Bush signed the JFK Assassination Records Act. Under the act, Trump can withhold part or all of the documents if he decides some “identifiable harm” weighs against disclosure.

Eighty-eight percent of the Archives’ five million pages of JFK material are already public.

New vaccine raises hope of ending pneumonia

servative government says establishing direct control over Catalonia was a move of last resort.

The move is expected to spark angry opposition from both independence supporters and moderate Catalans, who will see it as an attack on their autonomy.

Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont, who is to deliver a televised address late Saturday, has threatened to call a vote in the regional parliament for an explicit declaration of independence from Spain.

JERUSALEM/BEIRUT, OCT 21 (AGENCIES): Five projectiles from Syria set off air raid sirens in Israeli towns on Saturday, prompting the Israeli military to say it would step up its response to stray fire from the Syrian war that has repeatedly spilled over the border, reports Reuters.

The projectiles crossed into the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights and the military said it targeted three Syrian artillery guns in response.

No damage or injuries were reported in Israel.

The Syrian military said it came under attack in Quneitra province, which sits near the Golan Heights territory that Israel captured from Syria in the 1967 Middle East War. “The Israeli enemy assaulted one of our military positions this morning, which led to material damages,” it said.

During Syria’s more than six-year-old conflict, Israel has returned fire across the border, including stray shells from fighting among Syrian factions.

The military statement suggested it may start escalating such retaliations.

“Whether errant fire or not, any future occurrences will force the Israel Defense Forces to intensify its response,” it said.

urday. “It is my wish to call elections as soon as normality is restored.”

Rajoy’s party enjoys a majority in the Senate and he has the backing of the main opposition parties in the move to quash independence for Catalonia and maintain Spain’s territorial integrity.

Article 155 gives central authorities to intervene when one of Spain’s 17 autonomous regions fails to comply with the law. It’s never been applied since the 1978 Constitution was adopted, but Rajoy’s con-

ganizations who have been key drivers in the secession bid called the measures “authoritarian” and urged the immediate proclamation of a new Catalan republic.

Other Spanish political parties were also aghast.

“We are in shock about the suspension of democracy in Catalonia,” said Pablo Echenique of the far-left Podemos party, vowing to work to oust Rajoy and his conservative Popular Party from the national government.

The slow-burning constitutional crisis over secession escalated this month when regional government officials held a disputed independence referendum on Oct. 1. They then declared the result — which was strongly in favor of independence — gave them a legal basis for separating from Spain even though the vote itself had numerous problems. Spain’s court declared it illegal, police intervention and violence to halt it made it chaotic, turnout was less than half the region’s electorate and most opponents of independence boycotted it.

BARCELONA, OCT 21 (AGENCIES): The Spanish government moved decisively Saturday to use a previously untapped constitutional power so it can take control of Catalonia and derail the independence movement led by separatist politicians in the prosperous industrial region, reports AP. Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said after a special Cabinet session that he wants the Senate to allow central ministers to take over functions from all the regional Cabinet members and give him the power to call regional elections — something that only Catalonia’s top leader can do now.

Rajoy said he is using Article 155 of the Spanish Constitution in order to “restore normalcy” in the country, which faces its most grave institutional crisis in decades with Catalonia’s independence movement. He said a new regional election in Catalonia should be held in the next six months.

“There is no country in the world ready to allow this kind of situation within its borders,” Rajoy said Sat-

Moko Koza releases new song in Nagamese titled Puisa

A

fter making a mark with his hit single One day (Khunhie Puo), Kohima’s very own Moko Koza has dropped his new rap song in Nagamese dialect. The song is called, “Puisa”. Sampled beat from Aloe Blacc’s “I need a dollar”, the song humorously talks about our perspectives towards money. Starting off with catchy phrases, he raps about one being broke and in need of money and how it impacts us and the people around.

On the second verse, he takes it to a general view and shares his opinions on the present scenario with Nagaland’s crisis.

On the outro of the song, he leaves a strong message stating, “We all need money to satisfy ourselves, but what money cannot buy is Love and Love is priceless”. The song itself speaks about corruption where money comes into play. We raise our voice against corruptions but, are we actually practising what we are preaching? A change will start from us alone and it is that change that will help bring a better tomorrow. He extends his greetings to all the people of Nagaland and urges each and every one of us to spread Love and not Hate.

One can check out the song on his official YouTube channel.

P

uppets used for some of the best-loved children’s TV characters of the 1970s and ‘80s are to get urgent repairs to stop them falling apart.

The puppets come from the archive of animation studio Cosgrove Hall, which made shows like The Wind in the Willows and Chorlton and the Wheelies.

A project has begun to preserve and display the Cosgrove Hall archive.

Sixty percent of the latex puppets, including characters from The Wind in the Willows, are “at serious risk”.

And 20% are past saving, according to Westley Wood, a former Cosgrove

Hall employee who has rescued the treasure trove.

Cosgrove Hall also made such classic shows as Danger Mouse, Count Duckula, Terry Pratchett’s Truckers and Noddy’s Toyland Adventures. But its characters were put into storage when the studio shut in 2009.

Some of the betterpreserved items of memorabilia are now going on display in an exhibition at the Waterside Arts Centre in Sale, Manchester.

According to Wood, the hand-drawn acetate cells used to animate the likes of Danger Mouse and Count Duckula have lasted well.

But the 3D puppets that were employed in stop-

motion animations have deteriorated with age, with parts of the latex falling off some to expose the steel skeletons beneath.

“The film cells are well preserved,” said Wood.

“They can be saved quite easily. But unfortunately a lot of the puppets were made of foam latex, and over time it dries out.

“As they’ve all dried out and become quite stiff, these puppets have started losing half of their face or part of their arm.

“There’s a big process at the moment of identifying important pieces in the collection, and ones which we think need immediate restoration.

Referee Jon Moss awarded a corner after the ball appeared to go out off the foot of Eden Hazard.

Hazard collected a short corner from Cesc Fabregas and pulled the ball back into the path of Pedro, who whipped in a curling, right-foot shot that clanged into the net off Heurelho Gomes’s right-hand post.

Joao played wide in the 30th minute and delivered a left-side cross to the area, helping Marta score the second with a low shot.

DPR Korea, built on their champion team from FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup last year, responded well with fluid passes and created a bunch of clear chances.

The best one for DPR Korea came in the 36th minute when Ri Kyong Hyang failed to capitalise on the one-to-one chance as she was blocked by the defender.

Marta, a 31-year-old veteran who still looked in shape, was the top scorer so far with three goals in the tournament. She also scored in the opening match on Thursday when Brazil whitewashed Mexico 3-0.

Despite the inclement weather, the programme for the final match on Saturday went ahead with parliamentary secretary Labour & Employment, Skill Development & Entrepreneurship Dr. Neiphrezo Keditsu as the chief guest.

Off-spinner Ashwini and left-armer Jadeja have not been named in the Sri Lanka away tour, home rubber against Australia and the series against New Zealand which starts on Sunday.

Andres Iniesta signed this month.

“Messi signed a fouryear deal in June, but the club will offer him a lifetime contract,” Grau told club members.

“The idea is for Leo, who has been here since he was little, to stay here for life, as he is an icon. After he finishes playing we want him to remain linked to the club.”

MANCHESTER, OCT 21 (IANS): Manchester United defender Chris Smalling said on Saturday his club is lucky to have the presence of strikers Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Romelu Lukaku, who can beat any rival defence.

The Belgian international has scored seven times in his eight appearances for Manchester United in the English Premier League (EPL) this season.

While, the Swedish who re-signed a one-year contract with United earlier this year, had scored 28 goals in 46 games in the previous EPL season, which was cut short due to his knee injury. The 35-year-old will be available for the Jose Mourinho-managed side once he recovers from the injury. “A bit like Zlatan (Ibrahimovic), we play off a main man who we feed off and he has been bang in form and we are very lucky to have him and Zlatan when he comes back,” Smalling was quoted saying by Sky Sports.

“He is someone who likes to run in behind, he likes to be involved and he is always stressing to us if we can play him in those channels, then he feels favourite to beat any defender,” the 27year-old who has made 156 appearances for Manchester United since 2010 added.

Manchester United drew 0-0 against Liverpool in their last EPL fixture.

However, Smalling believes there are not many clubs this season who can stop United from scoring goals.

“You can see that we have attacking players, albeit they still have to defend when Liverpool have those attacks,” the English international said. “But we kept it tight and we know that when we get those chances, more often than not, when we keep a clean sheet or are defensively sound, then nine times out of 10 we will win that game because not many teams can stop us from scoring,” Smalling added.

DP-10955

LONDON, OCT (AGENCIES): Michy Batshuayi stepped off the bench to inspire Chelsea’s fightback as Antonio Conte’s side eased the pressure on their manager with a hard-fought 4-2 victory over Watford on Saturday.

Conte’s position has come under scrutiny after back-to-back Premier League defeats and claims of player unrest over his training methods.

The Italian appeared set for another difficult afternoon when Watford’s Abdoulaye Doucoure and Roberto Pereyra overturned Pedro’s glorious opening goal for the hosts.

But Batshuayi, on for Alvaro Morata, kickstarted the comeback in the 71st minute before completing the win with a second in the fifth minute of added time

Chelsea should have doubled their lead in the 17th minute when Morata’s cross sent Fabregas clear with only Gomes to beat, but he managed only to chip the ball into the keeper’s arms.

Watford were fortunate to escape, but having survived, they began to gain a foothold in the game.

Confirmation Conte’s side had lost their grip came in the second minute of first-half injury time when Doucoure fired home with a first-time shot after David Luiz failed to clear Jose Holebas’s long throw.

The equaliser shifted the mood inside the stadium and there were sounds of dissent from the home supporters as the two teams left the pitch.

The opening moments of the second half suggested worse was to come, with Richarlison somehow managing to steer Kiko Femenia’s excellent low cross wide from just six yards out.

Fortunately for the highly rated Brazilian, he atoned quickly by teeing up Pereyra for a goal that put Marco Silva’s men ahead.

Tiemoue Bakayoko had been a doubt before the game and the Chelsea midfielder, poor throughout, was slow to react when he was dispossessed by Pereyra in the middle of the pitch.

After the break, the determined Nagaland police team was able to score in the 74th minute by Ninja Golmei (10).

P.K. Banerjee lambasts FIFA LOC

Kolkata , O ct 2 1 (IANS): Indian football legend P.K. Banerjee on Saturday lashed out at the FIFA Local Organising Committee (LOC) for not felicitating many top former players like Shyam Thapa, Prasun Banerjee and Subhas Bhowmick during the FIFA Under-17 World Cup opener in New Delhi earlier this month.

“It’s a huge loss of faith for Indian football community. In cricket we all know about the star players. But footballers are always ignored. How will football’s popularity grow if such is the attitude,” Banerjee said at a news conference at his residence here.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had felicitated the greats of Indian football, including Banerjee, I.M. Vijayan, Bhaichuing Bhutia, Sunil Chhetri, Bhaskar Ganguly and Oinam Bembem Devi.

Banerjee urged the LOC to felicitate the likes his brother Prasun Banerjee, Shyam Thapa, Arun Ghosh, Subhas Bhowmick, Mohammad Habib and Sudhir Karmakar during the final on October 28.

“I am not talking about Prasun as my brother but because of his contribution to Indian football. I want Subhash Bhowmick, Shyam Thapa, Mohammad Habib as well as sports people from all disciplines to be honoured in the final,” Banerjee said.

Hockey: India maul Pak 4-0 to enter Asia Cup final Dhaka, Oct 21 (PTI): A dominant India continued their unbeaten run in the tournament and thrashed arch-rivals Pakistan 4-0 to sail into the final of the 10th men’s Asia Cup hockey tournament here today.

The sixth ranked India, who just needed a draw to seal a place in tomorrow’s summit clash, produced a superlative performance after the change of ends to pump in four goals -- three field strikes and one through penalty corner.

Satbir Singh (39th minute), Harmanpreet Singh (51st), Lalit Upadhyay (52nd) and Gurjant Singh (57th) were the scorers for India.

By virtue of this win, India not only topped the Super 4 stage with seven points, but also continued their domination over Pakistan.

It was India’s fourth win over Pakistan this year, having beaten them twice in the Hockey World League Semi-finals in London and once in the pool stages here.

The defeat knocked Pakistan out of the final race and India will now play either Korea or Malaysia, who play later in the day, in the final.

Contrary to the result, the Indians were slow to get off the blocks, while Pakistan were the better side in terms of possession in the first two quarters.

Pakistan had three

chances via penalty corners to take the lead in the first quarter, but wasted all.

The Indians secured the first penalty corner in the final minute of the opening quarter, but Harmanpreet messed up the opportunity.

After Ramandeep Singh’s shot was saved by Pakistan goalkeeper Amjad Ali in the 23rd minute, India defended well to deny their rivals from another short corner.

Minutes later, Harmanpreet hit the cross bar from India’s second penalty corner as both the teams failed to break the deadlock at half time.

But India looked more organised after the change of ends and dominated the proceedings in the final two quarters. Satbir gave India the lead in the 39th minute after receiving a fine back stick pass from Lalit.

Minutes later, Harmanpreet’s effort from India’s third set piece was

saved by Amjad Ali. The Indians created chances in the final few minutes of the third quarter but Pakistan custodian Amjad Ali was upto the mark to keep Pakistan in the hunt.

India wasted two more penalty corners in a span of two minutes as Amjad Ali made multiple saves to deny their opponents.

India pressed on the gas in the final 10 minutes and scored three goals in a span of six minutes to run away with the game.

While Harmanpreet Singh scored his seventh goal of the tournament from India’s sixth penalty corner, Lalit made it 3-0 a minute later by pouncing on a loose ball inside the D. India added salt to Pakistan’s wounds when Gurjant slotted home three minutes from the final hooter after receiving a precision pass from Akshdeep Singh from the right flank.

GUWAHATI, OCT 21 (IANS): Mali won the battle of west African giants, beating Ghana 2-1 in a brusing quarter-final of the FIFA U-17 World Cup here on Saturday.

Hadji Drame (15th minute) and Djemoussa Traore (61st) struck once in each half for Mali while Kudus Mohammed (70th) replied for Ghana through a penalty. It was a replay of the CAF U-17 Africa Cup of Nations final in Gabon earlier this year where Mali defeated Ghana 1-0 to win the continental title.

Mali maintained their dominance over their fancied rivals in a fast paced, physical encounter in pouring rain and a muddy, water logged pitch at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium.

Ghana had been impressive in the group stages and Round of 16, but their attacking prowess could hardly make its presence felt on Saturday as Mali put

in a superb performance in both attack and defence.

Mali dominated proceedings right from the start and put the Ghana defence under constant pressure with their repeated attacks. The Mali defence also did a good job, keeping the much vaunted Ghana forwardline at bay.

Mali took the lead off the counter when they won the ball in their own half near the centre circle which ultimately found its way to Hadji Drame who used his physical streghth to see off a challenge before powering in at the near post.

Ghana had their hearts broken in the 41st minute when an unmarked Ibrahim Sulley made use of a rare mistake by the Mali defence to find the net from close range. But the goal was disallowed as Ghana’s Mohammed Kudus had fouled Ibrahim Kane while heading the incoming cross towards Sulley.
