DIMAPUR, OCT 23 (AGENCIES): Thousands of Nagas from various tribes in traditional attire accorded a warm civic reception to the Interlocutor for Naga talks, R.N. Ravi, who arrived Dimapur on Monday to hold talks with the six NNPGs Working Committee (WC).

The programme was jointly organized by the Nagaland based civil society organizations here at Dimapur Airport. Representatives of various tribes and civil organizations presented gifts and tokens of goodwill to Ravi, expressing their solidarity towards the ongoing Naga political talks.

Later, a facilitation of political negotiation between the Government of India and NNPGs working committee was held at Rhododendron Hall, Police Officer’s Mess, Chümoukedima.

NLA speaker clarifies position

longed to the Nagas and that all the stakeholders should be taken on board in order to let the solution come to an inclusive, acceptable and honourable conclusion.

Recalling his appointment as the interlocutor after the BJP-led NDA formed the government in 2014, Ravi said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had entrusted him with a huge task and for which he sought the full cooperation of the Nagas.

He said, “When Narendra Modi took over, he told me, this unresolved problem (Indo-Naga issue) is such a long standing problem and it is an embarrassment for a

country like India that it has not found a solution for this long. Do your best and negotiate in such a way which will be a win for the Nagas in the best possible manner.”

He added that the issue is such that it was not like a situation where the Nagas win and India loses, but one where both the parties come out victorious. And in that spirit, Ravi continued, we started the talks and I requested the PM to give me full freedom to carry forward the talks in the way I felt necessary and according to my judgements in consultation with him. To which Modi gave his con-

sent and also assured full support in the process that would ensue.

Ravi said the first major change he made in the peace talks was to bring out the Naga peace process from Home Ministry and put it under the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) since the issue was magnanimous in nature with so many issues and ministries involved which was too tedious a task for a single ministry to handle. Besides, he added, things move faster in the PMO which was one important aspect for the issue as it needed to be resolved at the earliest.

Looking at the pace of the talks, Ravi said he had to change the way the negotiations were held. In this regard Ravi said he had told the NSCN (I-M) that the talks would neither be ritualistic or repetitive but purely business-like in nature, where negotiations would have to be to the point and ones which would bear results and come to a consensus point. Subsequently, the talks became more rigorous and sometimes it would be held twice or thrice a week, Ravi said.

During his visit to Khonoma, to attend a pro-

gramme organized by NSF, Ravi said he had made it known to the public that the Naga peace process was an inclusive peace process, after realising that a solution which does not resonate with the people at large would not be enduring.

“Naga political issue belongs to the Naga people and so Naga people must be onboard and we also understood that Naga issue cannot be fragmented and that we cannot have too many agreements or solutions,” he added. And therefore we decided that there will be one peace process and one agreement which will be comprehensive and inclusive. Some people liked that decision while some did not like it but our position was very clear, Ravi said.

He added that feeling the need to know the expectations the Nagas had on the solution, he started interactions and negotiations with the Naga civil societies and tribal bodies during which he found out the perspectives and the stance of the people on the issue, the anticipation and the position which had to be respected.

Talks with WC of NNPGs part of peace process, says RN Ravi Tinakali Sumi

DIMAPUR, OCT 23 (NPN): Government of India (GoI)’s Interlocutor for Naga Peace Talks, R.N. Ravi who arrived Dimapur, to hold a political dialogue with Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) Working Committee (WC) for the first time in Nagaland, categorically stated that the talks with the WC which begun on September 27, 2017 was “not a parallel peace process.”

He maintained that there was only “one peace process which would be inclusive” and that there would be “only one agreement.” The interlocutor also stated that unless there was significant substantive change in the facts on the ground, the ensuing Nagaland Assembly Election 2018 will be held as scheduled.

Excerpts of the interview: NP: How was the meeting with Working Committee of NNPGs? What are the important agendas discussed?

R.N Ravi: The meeting (Cont’d on p-7) was on substantive issue and

businesslike. It is a positive forward movement and I am happy about it. It shows the sincerity and seriousness of the Working Committee.

NP: The government of India has now brought in the Working Committee of NNPGs in the ongoing peace process. The recent development seems to have created confusion amongst the people. Can you throw some light on the recent developments?

Ravi: I wonder where is the confusion! Since the beginning our position has been that Naga Peace Process is inclusive. Inclusiveness is the wish of the Naga people also and is an imperative for an enduring solution. I have explained it that inclusive means all the stakeholders who appreciate the importance of presenthistoric opportunity and are willing to be part of the solution are welcome to it.

I am already engaged with several important entities including the tribal hohos and civil societies. The six Naga groups took a bold decision to come together to be part of the Peace Process. I welcome their decision. Now

they are formally part of the peace process.Some people have created the confusion by calling it a parallel Peace Process which is not true.

Let me reiterate that there is only one Peace Process which is inclusive and there will be only one agreement.

NP: Are you holding consultative meeting or political talk with NNPGs Working Committee?

Ravi: Over the years Naga political discourse is lost in convoluted semantics rather than use of straight language. The Working Committee has an agenda and my job is to bring out a mutually agreed consensus to enrich the ongoing Peace Process and deliver a comprehensive solution.

NP: In the past, government of India had assured NSCN (I-M) that it will not negotiate with any other Naga political groups.

However, today the WC is partaking in the peace process. How is NSCN (I-M) dealing with this development? Has the government of India and NSCN (I-M) come to some sort of understanding on the issue?

bring NSCN (K) on board

DIMAPUR, OCT 23 (NPN): Sumi Hoho, the apex body of the Sumi community, has appealed to the Government of India’s interlocutor for Naga peace talks, RN Ravi, to take measures at his disposal to bring the NSCN (K) on board.

In a representation addressed to interlocutor, the Sumi Hoho president, Hekhushe Shikhu, Western Sumi Hoho president, Zheshito Swu, and Sumi Hoho general secretary, I Nikheto Jimomi, said that while the talks seemed to be heading in the “right direction”, leaving out any Naga National Political Groups out of the ambit of the talks could become partial success and even be disastrous for the Nagas.

The hoho also expressed concern over the action of the National Investigating Agency in arresting certain (Cont’d on p-8) government officials and

investigation against government officials in various departments, saying it could create trust deficit.

The Sumi Hoho has, therefore, strongly appealed to the government of India to “restrain from pursuing such action to give peace a chance so the ongoing talks was not hampered.

Further, pointing out that the term of current Nagaland Legislative Assembly was nearing completion, the hoho said while the people were earnestly anticipating permanent solution, imposing election at this juncture could lead to differences of opinion and could even affect the ongoing talks. Therefore, the Sumi Hoho opined that the forthcoming general election, due to be held in the early part of 2018, be deferred so smooth transition to any alternative arrangement could take place.

of Naga polity, says Kitovi

DIMAPUR, OCT 23 (NPN): Convenor of the Working Committee comprising of six Naga National Political Groups(NNPGs) N. Kitovi Zhimomi, in his opening remark at the consultative meeting held with Government of India’s Interlocutor to the Naga political talks R.N.Ravi, highlighted the Naga movement which found expression in the May 16, 1951 Naga Plebiscite under the leadership of NNC leader A.Z.Phizo. Further, Kitovi described the Plebiscite as the “bedrock principles of democratic polity of Nagas” upon which the foundation of future revolutionary movements were conceived.

He said these were the historical facts which brought all Nagas sharing the common aspiration together as a people. He also pointed out that in the event deviation took place from the above ground reality then the Naga issue would “tend to drift away”.

In order to pave way for an honourable solution, Kitovi maintained that mutual acceptance of the ground realities, facts and figures have to be taken into account.

Kitovi also added that the core issues were realisable through drawing out mutual and effective mechanisms to mitigate the intricacies and difficulties of both sides. In the light of the above, he said the six NNPGs, in unity, have set in motion the process of political negotiations with the government of India on the basis of “historical and political rights of the Naga people for self determination and identity.”

NPF youth wing stage dharna against Speaker ENSF calls off stir Correspondent

Correspondent KOHIMA, OCT 23 (NPN): Hundreds of NPF Central youth wing members led by NPF president, Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu staged a sit-in dharna outside the Civil secretariat complex on Monday in protest against the NLA Speaker’s inaction to settle cases regarding the disqualification issue, recognition of NPF legislature party leader and recognition of the NPF chief whip.

Addressing the party workers, Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu expressed deep anguish with the Kohima district administration for rejecting the formal request of the party’s youth wing to hold the peaceful dharna.

Dr. Liezietsu challenged the administration to arrest him first and not the party workers if the peaceful Dharna was found wrong adding, “Nagas cannot be

threatened and treated like this.”

Outside the secretariat complex, the NPF party workers erected a banner which read “Speaker must follow the Assembly Rules, Assembly secretariat office should not be misused Honorable speaker settle the ending issues lying in your office immediately, assembly secretariat is not your private firm” etc.

Dr. Liezietsu said the party would continue with the peaceful dharna and democratic agitation seeking

early and timely resolution to what he considered as gross violations of the Constitution by the Speaker.

He further clarified that the party had no intention to create any unwarranted situation. “However, if anyone provokes, then the party will also give a befitting reply,” he said. Dr. Liezietsu said he wondered whether the Central government was aware of the entire situation happening in Nagaland including the installation of unconstitutional government and questioned “if

the Centre would blindly believe in anything that was illegal.” However, if the Centre was aware and was sitting over the issue, he said “this would be a wakeup call for the Nagas to think and plan seriously for the future of the State.”

He said the protest was “a people’s movement to uphold the sanctity of the Constitution of India” and that the people would “join the movement to protect the rights of the people of Nagaland.”

(DIPR) Border affairs, Mmhonlumo Kikon, for persuading the scheme with personal interest and for taking all required initiatives to bring it to the people’s doorstep by teaming up with the civil administration for implementation to the fullest.

Stressing upon the interdependence of man, the eco-system and the environment, he suggested

that the people of the town should plant at least 10,000 trees around their localities during the World Environment Day 2018.

L o n g s h i O d y u o, GB in his short speech appealed to the Lotha Officers’ Association to continue to guide and encourage the younger generations to take pride and uphold the valuable age old traditions and cus-

toms of the Lothas.

He lamented that much folklore, skilled handicrafts, hand woven products, tools and implements passed down from the forefathers seemed to be gradually losing appeal to the youngsters. He called on the LOA to take steps to restore the disappearing legacies of the forefathers.

He also added that the distinct ways of calling or addressing a person (such as Ayo, Apvü, Apyo, Atsü, Amo etc) in the Lotha family or in the society was based on the particular clan or group of clans to which a person was born of, but in the contemporary times, the youngsters do not seem to be very knowledgeable about the traditional etiquettes or bindings.

Additional deputy commissioner, Bhandari, T. Nchumbemo Odyuo during the welcome address highlighted that the implementation process of the programme started in the month of June, 2017, whereby, a proper sensitization was necessitated to create total awareness to the public and also to tackle initial sense of

doubt by some, in regard to the advantages of using LED lighting system.

Invocation was offered by Rev. N. Abemo Patton, pastor BTBC, while special song was presented by Amos Kikon.

The programme was attended by members of the Lotha Officers’ Association, officers from the sub division, civil societies, church leaders etc, who pledged to adopt the LED lighting system at home and work place henceforth.

The Lord has been gracious enough to have blessed us in profound abundance in the guise of 'Our daddy a blessing and a marvel'.

Daddy, You have always been the hero in our eyes, ever willing to guide us, bountiful in love and support, never failing to enchant the children in us and relentless to give your best.

May our Lord continue to shower his blessings upon you and be a source of inspiration towards unceasing goodness and happiness in the years to come.

IMPHAL, Oct 23: Students of Manipur University of Culture on Monday locked down the administrative block of the university in protest against non-commencement of academic session of the university till date.

Manipur University of Culture was established through an Act of Manipur State Assembly, The Manipur University of Culture Bill 2015. Its main purpose was to serve the people of Manipur in terms of cultural studies.

Currently, it operates from its temporary campus in Palace Compound, Imphal.

Classes for the first batch of students commenced from mid-August 2016. However, the session

of the current year was yet to be commenced.

Demanding early commencement of the session, students of the university staged a protest in front of the A-block of the university at its temporary campus in Imphal’s Palace Compound.

On the failure of the responsibility authority to respond, the irate students locked down the A-block with a keypad.

Talking to reporters, general secretary of student union of the university Y Homeshwor alleged that despite the fact that many new students have been enrolled, classes have not commenced till date.

As the authority failed to initiate their duty, the union was forced to lock down the department, Homeshwor added.

When suggested that Niti Ayog should not generalize plans as a state like Arunachal Pradesh has its specific needs under specific circumstances and schemes suited for other states may not be suitable for Arunachal Pradesh, Kumar said that ‘Niti Aayog has left making plans and schemes’.

“We do not plan for you. You plan for yourself and tell us what we can do for you,” he said. Earlier, Development and Finance Commissioner Ashish Kundra made a power-point presentation detailing the potentials and challenges before the state.

Itanagar, Oct 23: Noting that connectivity as the critical constraint for development of Arunachal Pradesh, Niti Aayog Vice Chairman Dr Rajiv Kumar on Monday urged the state government to concentrate in mitigating the constraint with a proper vision and plan.

“I believe robust connectivity will solve all issues of the state and therefore the state government with all its machinery has to singularly focus on this issue together with Niti Aayog for a road forward,” he said.

Kumar, who is on a visit to Arunachal Pradesh, held an elaborate meeting with the Chief Minister

Pema Khandu and his cabinet colleagues besides top government officials. He is accompanied by Jitendra Kumar, Adviser (NER), Niti Aayog. During the meeting, the Niti Aayog official asked the state government to constitute a Task Force and evolve a white paper on how to go about in dealing with this ‘constraint’ in a time bound manner.

“You need to have a clear-cut vision document and a time bound action plan. We at Niti Aayog will bring all relevant ministries on the table and make a roadmap for Arunachal Pradesh in this direction.

Everything (all kinds of development) will follow once the issue of connectivity is resolved,” he pointed.

The two individuals who visited us and had meal in our Café on 10/07/2017 had infact not only paid their bill but also left a tip. However, the Café mistakenly put up a post in the Café’s Facebook page suggesting that they left without paying their bills. Further, we also offered a reward to anyone who leads the Café to the two individuals. The Proprietor and the Management of the Café deeply regret these shameless, thoughtless and wrongful acts of the Café and its Management.

The Proprietor and Management of the Bangkok Café and Cuisine hereby accept that we were wrong and seek forgiveness to the two individuals and their family members for our misconduct. We understand that we have caused immense grief to the two individuals and the families. Because of our wrongful and thoughtless action, the two individuals and their families have suffered ridicule and humiliation in public domain. We understand that no apology at this stage can heal the agony/ trauma they had to undergo because of our irresponsible actions. However, the two individuals and their family members have been very forgiving and kind in accepting our apology and amicably settling the issue.

At a press conference, Congress leader Manish Tewari said the allegations had not been levelled by any political rival, but by “activists of an organisation that the BJP is trying to split”.

“The allegations are very serious and the finger of suspicion points to the Gujarat BJP chief. First, it demands a reaction from the Prime Minister. We demand that an FIR be registered and an investigation takes place under the supervision of a sitting High Court judge,” Tewari told presspersons.

the anthem is played during matches, tournaments and even the Olympics, where half of the crowd does not understand its meaning,” Justice Chandrachud said.

The Bench said “You (Centre) take a call. The government should not show any reservation to the amendment as the court would not allow it to shoot from its shoulders”.

The court then asked the Centre to consider taking a call by January 9, the next date of hearing, on amending the National Flag Code for regulating the playing of the National Anthem in cinema halls across the country.

It said the Centre has to take a call uninfluenced by its earlier order on the playing of the National Anthem in theatres.

The apex court had in its December last year’s order said that “love and respect for the motherland is reflected when one shows respect to the National Anthem as well as to the National Flag”.

It had also barred printing of the anthem or a part of it on any object and displaying it in such a manner at places which may be “disgraceful to its status and tantamount to disrespect”.

Passing a slew of directions, the court had said that fundamental duties in the Constitution “do not allow any different notion or the perception of individual rights that have individual thought, have no space.

The idea is constitutionally impermissible”.

N ag p u r , O c t 2 3 (IANS): Against the backdrop of around 40 farmers’ deaths due to poisoning by insecticides, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) President Sharad Pawar on Monday blamed the Maharashtra government for easy availability of unlicensed pesticides in the market.

He demanded stringent action against the officials, especially from the agriculture department as being responsible for the deaths of so many farmers besides over 2,000 others who have been affected in varying de-

M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud, said. “Desireability is one thing but making it mandatory is another. Citizens cannot be forced to carry patriotism on their sleeves and courts cannot inculcate patriotism among people through its order,” the Bench said. The court’s strong remarks came during the hearing on a PIL filed last year by one Shyam Narayan Chouksey seeking directions that the national anthem should be played in all the cinema halls before a film begins.

In contrast to these remarks, a bench headed

by Justice Misra had ordered the theatres across the country on December 1 last year to “mandatorily” play the national anthem before a movie and the audience must stand and show respect, in a bid to “instil committed patriotism and nationalism”.

During today’s hearing on the PIL, Attorney General K K Venugopal, appearing for the Centre, said India was a diverse country and the National Anthem needed to be played in the cinema halls to bring in uniformity. He said it should be left open to the government to take a call on its own discretion on whether the anthem should be played in theatres and whether people should stand up for it.

NEW DELHI, OCT 23 (PTI): People do not need to stand up in the cinema halls to prove their patriotism, the Supreme Court said on Monday and asked the Centre to consider amending the rules for regulating playing of the National Anthem in theatres.

The top court also observed that it cannot be assumed that if a person does not stand up for the National Anthem, then he is “less patriotic”.

Observing that the society did not need “moral policing”, a Bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra said the next time, “the government will want people to stop wearing T-shirts and shorts to cinemas saying this would disrespect the National Anthem.”

It said it will not allow the government to “shoot from its shoulder” and asked it to take a call either way on the issue of regulating the playing the anthem.

The Bench also indicated that it may modify its order of December 1, 2016, by which the playing of the anthem was made mandatory in the movie halls before the screening of a film, and it may replace the word “shall” with “may”.

“People go to cinema halls for undiluted entertainment. “Society needs entertainment. We cannot allow you (Centre) to shoot from our shoulders. People do not need to stand up in cinema halls to prove their patriotism,” the Bench, also comprising Justices A

leaders involved in the agitation, the BJP was hoping to contain the damage the Patidar quota agitation is likely to cause during the polls, he said.

Gujarat BJP spokesman Bharat Pandya dismissed the allegations, saying it was a “Congress motivated plan to malign the image of the BJP in Gujarat.”

Gujarat cannot be bought or suppressed.”

“Alpesh ji, you asked these people to remain silent. But how they can remain silent. Modiji has harassed them a lot and that is why they cannot remain silent. “The voice in the hearts of the Gujarati people is not ordinary.

It cannot be suppressed or bought,” Rahul said at his party’s ‘Navsarjan Gujarat Janadesh’ rally in Gandhinagar. He was taking a dig at the bribery allegations levelled against the BJP and the chief of its Gujarat unit

by Patidar leader Narendra Patel on Sunday.

“What happened on November 8? Modiji came on television and said I don’t like Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes. So I have decided to spike them from that midnight. And by doing that he attacked the whole country by one stroke.

“For the first two three days he too did not understand what had happened.

And in a concert in Mumbai he announced ‘I have done this’. But after five-six days, he realised he made a mistake. Then again he appeared on television and said if I don’t end the menace of black money by December 30, then hang me.” Gandhi then asked farmers in the crowd if they buy seeds and fertilizers from their mobile phones and with cheques.

The crowd replied with a loud ‘No’.

Ahmedabad, Oct 23 (AGENCIES): Narendra Patel, a key member of the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS), has claimed that the BJP offered him Rs 1 crore to break away from the Patidar agitation and join it.

Patel joined the BJP on Sunday evening in the presence of Varun Patel, another aide of Hardik Patel who joined the party on Saturday after meeting BJP president Amit Shah.

However, within a few hours of joining the party, Narendra Patel alleged that he received a token amount of Rs 10 lakh as as a part of the Rs 1 crore that the BJP promised him to switch over to the party. He accused Varun Patel of facilitating the deal.

Narendra Pat produced before the media the cash he allegedly received from a BJP leader and claimed that he “enacted a drama of joining the BJP only to expose the party using money power to lure Patidar agitation leaders in the State.”

“The BJP stands exposed today. They offered me Rs 1 crore and immediately Rs 10 lakh was handed over to me in the presence of Varun Patel. I’m going to donate this money to the

Gandhinagar, October 23(AGENCIES ): The Congress got a boost with OBC leader Alpesh Thakore joining it in the presence of party vicepresident Rahul Gandhi who attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi on demonetisation and GST, calling it a “Gabbar Singh Tax” that has ruined India’s economy.

Gandhi also asked Modi to break his silence on BJP president Amit Shah’s son Jay whose business fortunes allegedly skyrocketed after the NDA came to power. Addressing a gathering of thousands of supporters of young OBC leader Thakore, who heads Thakore Sena, the Congress leader alleged that the BJP had tried to buy “priceless” voices of Gujaratis and said it won’t succeed.

Referring to an allegation by Narendra Patel, a Patidar leader close to Hardik Patel, that a bribe of Rs 1 crore was offered to him to join the BJP, Gandhi said the priceless voices of Gujarat can neither be stifled nor bought. “Even Hardik, Jignesh Mewani, (a Dalit leader), cannot remain silent. They too have a voice. And this is no ordinary voice. It cannot be suppressed or bought.

Nagaland Post Vol. XXVII NO. 319 Dimapur, Tuesday, October 24, 2017

T

All for one

here is a cloud of uncertainty in Nagaland today marked by the continuing political instability due to the selfish ambitions of political leaders who think little about anything except power and fattening their pockets through dubious means so as to perpetrate their grip through an unholy nexus of money and muscle power. The other factor that has also created the air of uncertainty has been the protracted negotiations for resolution to the Naga political issue which has been ongoing since 1997. In both instances- political instability and Naga political issue- the elected members have not addressed issues with seriousness of thought and therefore their analysis and responses appear to lack depth. They are more coherent with rhetoric but incoherent with logic in whatever they have been saying. Perhaps the inclination to either play to the gallery or sounding politically correct has prevented them from providing guidelines that have clarity and depth. The general public also have to ask themselves whether they also deserve any better. Today it is also popular to want clean election since it is being spearheaded by their church. The challenge before the public is whether while wanting clean election, they are prepared to say ‘No’ to money and muscle power? The public should accept the fact that wanting clean election without change (rejecting money and allurements) is like wanting the cake and eating it too. The public should accept that they will have to live with the status quo until they finally decide to break with their inherent trait of comprising with each and everything for short term gain. The developments taking place has over taken the people and today the it is a state of confusion.

Politicians have failed to tackle the growing problems because they are disinclined to do the unpopular and difficult task. They would rather talk about dreams and visions that lack clarity and depth because it is built on the premise that one can fool all the people sometime but that sometime has already ended.

Some people continue to be willing to be fooled all the time and that ‘some people’ are the ones who speak the loudest. Today the issue that confronts the state is about living in reality and not fantasy. The quality of leadership reflects the quality of the psychology of the general mass. Even with regard to a crucial issue such as political solution, there has been no enlightenment. Instead of working to bring about peace and progress to further the prospect of the future under a given solution, demands for interim government and not election is being touted. When this did not find the resonance, the latest to add to the confusion is a call to impose President’s Rule till solution is worked out. In this context, Nagaland Post during 1998 had coined the slogan ‘Solution not Election’. This was to mean that since solution was to come before or even a few months after scheduled elections (during 1998), it would be better to postpone elections in favour of solution. However the Centre took the line of the then chief minister that there can be no time frame for solution and election cannot be postponed indefinitely. Perhaps today, solution may be still much nearer but still there cannot be any schedule till all stake holders agree to have one solution for all so that all can have one solution.

DailyDevotion Nothing of the Old Life!

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. —2 Corinthians 5:17 Our Lord never tolerates our prejudices— He is directly opposed to them and puts them to death.

We tend to think that God has some special interest in our particular prejudices, and are very sure that He will never deal with us as He has to deal with others. We even say to ourselves, “God has to deal with other people in a very strict way, but of course He knows that my prejudices are all right.” But we must learn that God accepts nothing of the old life!

Instead of being on the side of our prejudices, He is deliberately removing them from us. It is part of our moral education to see our prejudices put to death

by His providence, and to watch how He does it. God pays no respect to anything we bring to Him. There is only one thing God wants of us, and that is our unconditional surrender.

When we are born again, the Holy Spirit begins to work His new creation in us, and there will come a time when there is nothing remaining of the old life.

Our old gloomy outlook disappears, as does our old attitude toward things, and “all things are of God” (2 Corinthians 5:18). How are we going to get a life that has no lust, no self-interest, and is not sensitive to the ridicule of others? How will we have the type of love that “is kind…is not provoked, [and] thinks no evil”?

(1 Corinthians 13:4-5). The only way is by allowing nothing of the old life to remain, and by having only simple, perfect trust in God— such a trust that we no longer want God’s blessings, but only want God Himself. Have we come to the point where God can withdraw His blessings from us without our trust in Him being affected? Once we truly see God at work, we will never be concerned again about the things that happen, because we are actually trusting in our Father in heaven, whom the world cannot see.

Dance like nobody’s watching. ~ Satchel Paige

T

he most important animal in your life, no matter where you are, is the mosquito. Therefore, you should know the facts about it. Separating fact from fancy can help us better protect ourselves.

All mosquitoes are the same: Fact - Mosquitoes of different species are as different from each other as a lion is from a housecat. They have different behaviour, very different preferences of what they want to eat and where they might live. Urban species don’t do well in the country and some species thrive only in one specific region. Which mosquitoes like your environment can have an effect on the types of diseases you’re exposed to.

All Mosquitoes Carry Disease: Fact - There are over 3,000 mosquito species worldwide, but only a couple of hundred are important medically. Most species of mosquito don’t even bite humans -- some prefer other animals like amphibians, birds, horses and reptiles.

Specific species carry specific diseases: For example, West Nile virus and St. Louis encephalitis virus come from the genera Culex. Chikungunya, dengue and yellow fever are carried by Aedes mosquitoes. Zika is spread

by Aedes agypti or Aedes albopictus mosquito, Malaria is transmitted by species of the Anopheles genus.

Droughts mean less mosquitoes: Fact - While mosquitoes breed in water, droughts are some of the most disease-promoting. The water may be less but it is dirtier and therefore appealing to mosquitoes. The lack of water sources means that mosquitoes and birds -- who carry many of the mosquitoborne illnesses that affect us -- are crowded together to share the resource.

Both male and female mosquitoes bite humans.

Fact -Only the females bite as they require the protein in our blood to produce their eggs. Males feed on other sources, such as flower nectar.

Mosquitoes prefer people with “sweet blood”: Fact - No. Mosquitoes are not attracted to people with more blood sugar. Researchers have found that mosquitoes have a love of carbon dioxide, lactic acid and certain strains of bacteria that some people have in higher concentrations. Some people have more carbon dioxide.

Some sweat more. People who do heavy exercise make themselves more attractive to mosquitoes due to a potent combination of sweat, carbon dioxide, and lactic acid a compound found in sweat. This means that you’ll be more likely to get bitten if you sit outside after a run.

Scent can also play a role.

Mosquitoes prefer people with Blood Type O: Fact - No, the type makes no difference. Mosquitoes bite people because they require protein for breeding, not sugar. Some facets of a human’s genetics, such as skin bacteria, may have an effect, but blood type is not one of these factors.

People who have fair skin get bitten more: Fact The bites show up more on fair people, but all colours get the same number of bites.

Mosquitoes bite people regardless of their size: Fact Mosquitoes prefer larger people to smaller ones. Adults will be bitten more than children, and men more than women. This is probably because larger people emit higher quantities of carbon dioxide and body heat, and provide more surface area for feasting.

Pregnant women get bitten more: Fact - True.

Pregnant women give off more heat and carbon dioxide.

Garlic, Vitamin B supplements or bananas will ward off mosquitoes: Fact - There is no scientific or anecdotal data to suggest that they have any effect.

Alcohol drinkers attract more mosquitoes: Fact - A study in Burkina Faso has found that beer consumption increases the human’s attractiveness to mosquitoes.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur Tuesday, October 24, 2017

Facts about mosquitoes You are safe if you spend your time indoors, especially with airconditioning: Fact - Avoiding the outdoors at certain times a day, especially early evenings, is one of the ways suggested to avoid exposure to bites.

Staying inside with doors and windows shut, will lower your risk. But mosquitoes can be a problem inside.

Some, especially the Aedes aegypti mosquito, live in nooks and crannies in homes and gardens. Some mosquitoes breed in boiler rooms and potted-plant containers.

So in high risk areas, even if the airconditioning is on, the best thing to do is sleep under nets.

Swamps are dangerous to live near and wetlands should be drained to get rid of mosquitoes: Fact - While mosquitoes like warm and marshy swamps and wetlands, removing these will not have any effect on mosquito populations or mosquito borne diseases.

Many mosquitoes are much more comfortable in human habitats. Aedes aegypti live with humans as it is easier to find blood. Females lay their eggs in artificial containers with a bit of standing water - flower pots, vases, tires, buckets, planters, toys, birdbaths, empty garbage cans, lids. That is why it is vital to check your house, garden and neighbourhood for these kinds of containers.

Empty them, turn them over, dry them out. Empty and refresh water in birdbaths and fountains at least once a week to keep mosquitoes from maturing.

Cold and dry climates keep mosquitoes away: Fact Not true anymore. Research

shows that mosquito populations increase with higher spring soil moisture levels— heavy snowfall, snowmelt and spring rain all provide sufficient standing water to allow the breeding of mosquitoes, even in typically “dry” areas.

Bats should be brought in to eat mosquitoes: Fact While bats are extremely useful insect eaters, mosquitoes are far too small to interest them. They eat them but not in such large quantities, as the energy they need to catch them outweighs the food benefit.

Mosquitoes hate citronella candles and Listerine: Fact - Grandmother’s remedies, that a bowl of water with a few drops of liquid soap, a spray of Listerine or half a lemon stuffed full of cloves will keep mosquitoes away, are unfortunately not really true. Citronella candles have no effect outside the immediate area of the candle.

The only way these candles can repel mosquitoes is by creating smoke, because insects don’t like smoke. Any candle will have the same effect as citronella candles.

Citronella is a weak repellent -- the plant needs to have its leaves crushed for any effect. Citronella oil may have some effect. So might lavender and peppermint oil, but very little. Listerine contains traces of eucalyptol, but actual eucalyptus-based mosquito repellents contain the compound in concentrations as high as 75 percent whereas the eucalyptol in mouthwash is usually below 1 percent, which means if it works at all it isn’t going to work very well or for very long.

If you want to sit out-

side, set up a large fan. Mosquitoes have a hard time flying in a breeze.

Eucalyptus is effective: Fact - Research published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that products containing oil of lemon eucalyptus, whose active ingredient para-menthane-diol is derived from the eucalyptus tree, can be effective. But most botanical formulations require frequent reapplication—usually every 10 to 20 minutes.

Mosquitoes attack mainly at night: Fact - Some species such as the Culex tend to attack after dusk.

Others, including Aedes aegypti, bite by day. Some bite at dusk and dawn.

Mosquitos Are not attracted towards certain colours: Fact - Controversial.

Many scientists claim that colours don’t affect mosquitoes. Others claim that mosquitoes are more attracted to dark colours. Mosquitoes are attracted to heat. So, since dark colours absorb more heat, mosquitoes could be attracted to them.

Are Mosquitoes Attracted to Light? Fact - Many flying insects, including moths, mosquitoes, and many flies, find the glow of artificial lights irresistible. So, the answer to our initial question is yes. But most lights generate heat and it is the heat that attracts mosquitoes.

The more blood a mosquito sucks out of you, the bigger the welt: Fact - The size of a mosquito bite welt has nothing to do with the amount of blood drawn by a mosquito.

It depends on how your immune system responds to the mosquito’s saliva that’s been injected into your skin.

Mosquitoes have 47 teeth: Fact - Mosquitoes don’t have teeth at all. They have a needle like hose attached to their mouth which has a tip of 47 sharp edges that make it easier for a mosquito to punch a hole in your skin and suck up the blood.

Mosquitoes urinate on

you when they bite: Fact After mosquitoes have filled their bellies with blood, they have to excrete something out of their body to be able to fly. It’s not urine. The Anopheles mosquitoes excrete a plasma fluid. Others excrete fluid waste.

Ultrasound wave machines or ultraviolent blue lights which work on electricity catch mosquitoes: Fact - Totally false. They have no effect at all and are just marketing gimmicks.

What is the most effect mosquito repellent? Fact Most commercial repellents contain DEET or Diethylmeta-toluamide as their main insect-repelling ingredient.

DEET works by blocking the receptors on their antennae that allow them to hone in on human beings.

Chemical repellents are dangerous: Fact - I hate the idea of using chemicals, but this has been proven to keep away mosquitoes and there is a safety limit for its use on lotions or other products. Developed by the US Army in 1946, DEET was registered for human use in 1957 and has been found to be safe when applied according to label instructions.

Do not ingest or inhale or apply over cuts, wounds or irritated skin.

Another weaker option is Avon Skin-So-Soft. Its formula contains picaridin, a chemical that resembles the natural compound found in the plants used to produce black pepper, and IR3535 (a chemical of the naturally occurring amino acid B-alanine). But it needs to be applied every 20 minutes or less.

Should we buy products that combine sunscreen and mosquito repellent?

No. Sunscreens are intended for generous and frequent use while DEET is intended for less frequent use. Blending DEET with a sunscreen decreases the efficacy of both compounds.

Post-mortem NPF P&IC on EC’s order Comment on the Framework

T

he Election Commission of India (ECI) in good faith had directed both rival groups within NPF as per its Order 56/ Dispute/03/2017/PPS-II to settle disputes internally and that both may first exhaust the mechanism in the NPF Party Constitution until which ECI may not adjudicate the matter. However, Dr. SL and his men took this Order as a tool and opportunity for media glitz and went viral blatantly projecting themselves as victorious. All we know is that the group has exhausted its midnight oil and all its energy, in its vain attempt to justify and impress the general public through the Media while desperately trying to manipulate every issue at hand.

Being an impartial body, ECI clearly did not intend to be harsh with any group but had accepted the fact, as stated in its Order 56/ Dispute/03/2017/PPS-II, that the NPF Party led by Neiphiu Rio as President enjoys the support of majority MLAS and majority Central Office Bearers whereas Dr. SL’s group had only 10 MLAs out of 47 NPF MLA’s under its belt.

We all know what democracy would mean in this case. Interestingly, Yitachu in his comments on Social Media implied that ECI order was a final judgment and that their scheduled General Convention on 22.11.2017 would complete the ECI Order. For reason best known only to Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu and his men, the beleaguered minority is acting rather weird lately going to the extent of threatening the Speaker, Imtiwapang inside his office while demanding recognition of Azo Nienu as Leader of NPF Legislature Party and Yitachu as NPF Chief Whip.

The letter of Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu dated 20.07.2017 appointing Azo Nienu as the NPF Legislature Party Leader is, was and will be legally invalid while the latest move for recognizing Yitachu as Chief Whip of NPF is more of a comical exercise and needs no explanation. It is amusing, and at times hilarious, to imagine the action of Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu and his men conferring upon a person the title of ‘Leader, NPF Legislature Party’ without understanding the very basics of such an exercise given the fact that 10 MLAs out of 47 NPF MLAs can never elect the Leader of

the NPF Legislature Party.

If they want the Speaker to issue any order, then why go to court and claim that25.10.2017 would be the final hearing on appointment of Whip and that TR Zeliang’s Government would go? If there is but a little faith in their own beliefs, then why did Azo Nienu, Yitachu, R. Tohanba, and N. Thongwang approached the Speaker with threats? This desperate and last-resort ventures of Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu and his men is turning out to be a priceless political Comedy.

Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu and his men at a Meeting on 18.7.2017 at Kohima declared that they had severed the 40-year old tie with BJP but on 12.10.2017, Azo Nienu wrote to BJP National President, Amit Shah that their party headed

by Dr. SL was not averse to the BJP buttering his stand that he along with Rajya Sabha MP, KG Kenye had on October 5 met Sunil Deshpande and Arun Kumar Khanna in Delhi.

Again, within a fortnight, on 20 Oct during their CEC meeting Dr. Shürho made a naked U-turn and declared that they re-affirms prepoll alliance with the current DAN partners JDU, NCP but absolutely minus BJP. Their self-contradictory policy statements simply exposes the confusing stand of Dr. Shürho and his helpless minority. On that fateful day Dr. Shürho arrogantly cut the olive branch extended by K. AZO to Amit Shah on 12TH Oct. Even though we are in opposite side of the fences such day light slicing of K. Azo into pieces by his God Father is a matter of grave concern for the Naga People.

How cheap can a man be?

While in Chair as Chief Minister, Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu unceremoniously removed BJP MLAs but today ironically, portrays Azo Neinu as DAN Chairman. Human memory cannot be that short and Azo Nienu at best can stop imagining himself as Chairman, DAN and immediately withdraw his name and self-styled designation from the Meeting Circular signed on 16.10.2017 summoning a Meeting of the DAN on 24.10.2017 at 11 am. He may instead like to brush up his memory and recollect how DAN was formed in the State with BJP as a Coalition Partner.

Agreement of 3rd August, 2015

t is learnt that the Government of India and NSCN (IM) had signed an agreement known as “Framework Agreement” on 3rd August, 2015. Till now the content of the agreement is yet to be disclosed to the public and is supposed to be a closely guarded secret between the two parties.

Nonetheless, newspapers and other social media have been carrying titbits of the agreement and now one can easily guess what this Framework Agreement is going to be.

Any responsible individual or organization seeing what is about to come should share their views and exhort the public. However, except for a few people, the majority of the Nagas are afraid to speak out. If we do not speak out when there is time, upon finalization of the matter, it may be too late to voice out upon the eminent subsequent confusion and social upheaval. We may have no one to blame but ourselves.

Therefore, the Naga National Council is to share its views on the Framework Agreement to the public. What is clear about the Framework Agreement is the absence of the two most important factor of our National Movement, i.e Sovereignty and Integration.

If not for these two factors, why

should the Nagas suffer this long?

This is not NNC’s principle nor this is what the Nagas are struggling for. This is not a ‘historic agreement’ as claimed by them rather this Framework Agreement is a condemnable agreement, a treacherous agreement. This agreement is a total violation of the Lakhuti Resolution of NNC and therefore, NNC shall never accept this Framework Agreement.

We all accept the fact that the NSCN (IM) has done many good and positive things for the Naga Nation. But in the end, if they are to forego all their rights and have no regret over it or to go against their own words and have no compunction for it, what more can we say. However, the NSCN (IM) should remember that there were thousands of people who laid down their lives for the Nation before them. If they are to sell the Birth right and the sweat and blood of these people, surely, curse will befall on them and they themselves will be responsible for it.

The national work is not the sole responsibility of an individual or a group. When any group cannot achieve what the nation aspires for, then they should leave the matter to the future generation to continue the struggle till the goal is achieved. Therefore, the leaders

of NSCN (IM) should consider this matter afresh.

The Government of India may take note that in the past as well, several attempts were made but all these attempts were counter productive and ended in fiasco. The present Framework Agreement will also end up in the same fate as that of the 16th Point Agreement which gave birth to the State of Nagaland in 1963, the Shillong Accord of 1975. Even if you initiate something at this juncture, it will surely end in failure. The Nagas have come across many trials and tribulations and had withstood all these. You may have done something today, but you do not know what will come after that. Please remember that the Naga issue can be solved with the principle of TRUTH only and not through manipulation as you have been trying to do till date.

The Nagas should also understand that the Naga issue can be solved only through the intervention of the God Almighty.

Therefore, do not falter or be disheartened but remain steadfast in your faith in God and continue to intercede to God. Kuknalim Gen (Retd) Thinoselie M. Keyho, President, Naga National Council, Nagaland

Reader’s Post To electrical department (Complaint letter regarding irregular electricity supply.)

Sir,

I would like to draw the attention of frequent breakdown of electricity in our locality. Ours is not really a new locality. Sometimes, the current is turned off for several hours in a very stretch. It appears that, even a slightest rain or wind affects the electricity. It is also true that the other localities enjoy better power supply as compared to our locality. I recall the situation just a few weeks ago where we were hardly given 5 hrs of electricity a day for the sake of reparation of the transformers but however, this reparation doesn’t seem to be have any positive impact. I believe Good Roads and Electricity are some of the basic needs of the people (atleast in this 21st century). Even if other things fails, I pray we will not be deprived of good power supply in our locality or in Nagaland as a whole. Hence I request to the concerned authorities to kindly look into the matter and take necessary actions to stop the breakdown of electricity in our locality.

GST is Gabbar Singh Tax: Rahul

Rahul Gandhi

GST together have ruined the economy, he charged.

“With one stroke of demonetisation, Modiji ruined the economy but he did not stop there. He went ahead with GST, which has derailed the small businessmen and industries,” he said. The rally was organised by OBC leader Alpesh Thakor, who joined the Congress, giving a boost to the party ahead of the crucial Assembly polls to be held later this year. In his 30-minute speech, he asked

Railway project: Affected landowners serve ultimatum DIMAPUR: Landowners affected by the railway project at Dhansiripar, Pimla, Zutovi, Khemnok, Razaphe Basa and Shokhuvi have served a seven-day ultimatum on the railway authority and the state government to expedite necessary action for review of the discrepancy in the rates and resolve the matter so the progress of the work did not get hampered.

In a joint press statement, Pimla GB, Dohoi Sema; Dhansiripar GB, Dejiraj Girisa; Razaphe Basa chairman, KK Rio; Zutovi GB, Victo Sema; Sokhuvi GB, Vekuto and Khemnok GB, P.Shingyu Khiamnungan, cautioned that failure to meet their demands the landowners would resume the complete stoppage of the work with effect from November 1, 2017 indefinitely.

They also warned that the government would be held solely responsible in the event any untoward incident(s) arose out of the stoppage of the work.

The signatories stated that the decision to serve ultimatum was taken by landowners at an emergency

meeting held on October 22, 2017 at Shokhuvi village.

They reminded that the affected landowners of the rail project, on the basis of the outcome of a joint meeting of railway authority, district authority and affected villages’ GBs and landowners on August 18, 2017 in the DC’s office, had suspended the “protest stoppage of the work of the Nagaland rail project with effect from August 19 to give time to the authority for review of the matter of railway compensation paid to the beneficiaries. “ However, the signatories stated that despite favourable outcome of the meeting and communication of the DC Dimapur to the higher ups followed by declared assurance of the chief minister during his tour to Mhaikam village rostrum/Gate inauguration, there has not been any official response even after more than two months of the suspension of the complete stoppage of the ongoing works.

They further lamented that nothing was being done as promised and forwarded.

the PM to break his silence over the business dealings of BJP president Amit Shah’s son Jay Shah whose company saw unprecedented growth in turnover after the BJP came to power.

Debunking the Gujarat model of development, Gandhi said there were almost 30 lakh youth unemployed in the State because the BJP government had failed to provide jobs to them. “Today in Gujarat, every community is on agitation because the BJP government in the State caters to only a few industrialists and their interests at the cost of the public,” he said, referring to social agitations by the Patidar community seeking quotas in jobs and education, OBCs for jobs and SCs seeking land for agriculture.

CMO Dmu allays dengue concerns

DIMAPUR: In an attempt to allay concerns among the people regarding dengue fever occurring in Dimapur district, the office the chief medical officer (CMO), Dimapur has asked the public not to panic if their RDT test (card test) for dengue was positive.

In a press release, CMO Dimapur, Dr. K Vikato Kinimi, pointed out that dengue could be confirmed only with ELISA Test, which was conducted free of cost at the Sentinel Surveillance Site Laboratory (SSSL) at district hospital, Dimapur.

CMO also requested private laboratories not to declare card test positive as dengue and should send the sample to SSSL for confirmation.

With regard to fog-

ging, the Kinimi said it kills only one generation of mosquitoes whereas mosquitoes hatch every day.

“Fogging is carried out during the early hours or late in the evening in the district which the public may not be aware of,” he said.

However, to prevent and control dengue, fogging is not the only solution, CMO added. According to CMO, the best way to prevent and control dengue was by destroying mosquito breeding areas and preventing mosquitoes from breeding.

Therefore, the medical department has requested the public to take responsibility and keep their surroundings clean and dry and also wear clothing to cover the whole body during the day.

NPF youth wing stage dharna against Speaker (From p-1) DAN chairman and NPF legislature party leader Kuzholuzo (Azo) Nienu asked the NLA Speaker to wake up and start performing his duties, stating the protest was a result of speaker’s inaction on the various issues.

Hitting out at the speaker, Azo said despite the party awarding him the highest chair (Speaker), he chose to ignore the party workers to even enter his office when they tried to submit the memorandum.

He also questioned the response of the Speaker on the memorandum served

by NPF youth wing which came from Chief Minister’s office (CMO) and reminded that CMO and NLA were different entities. Azo said

whatever complaint was raised to the NLA speaker, it went to the CMO. “This showed the incapability of the Speaker and that the Speaker does not know how to function his office,” he said. He questioned whether it was a dictatorial style of functioning or whether CM had taken over the NLA office as well. Azo cautioned that if this continues, the protest would be intensified and would even start demanding for removal of the Speaker since the party workers were running out of patience.

NPF legislature spokesperson, Yitachu said rule of law should control the state, the government and the systems and it was the duty and responsibility of every authority in the government to follow the rule of law. He

said the unconstitutional government was giving justifications only in the newspapers and was running away from the court by seeking adjournments and postponements only.

As per the assembly rules, he said all the issues must have been settled within a month. However, he said even after lapse of three months the speaker failed to give any order including the order on chief whip replacing late Kiyianelie Peseyie.

Yitachu said if such wrong doings were not put to stop, then future generation would be greatly affected.

He expressed confidence that the dharna would bring out “the truth” to the Nagas. The dharna was also attended by host of party workers and legislators.

Naga pol issue involves all Nagas: Ravi (From p-1) “Government of India cannot be indifferent to those stakeholders, those bodies which had been representing the Naga society at the grassroot and various levels,” Ravi said. He said the inclusion of tribal bodies and civil organizations in the negotiation process was a historic development since it was impossible to leave out anyone in search of a solution. He said the solution should have the widest possible acceptance of the Nagas and that it must be an occasion of celebration for everyone and not one where some celebrates while others feel disregarded and unhappy.

Although we want 100 percent satisfaction which may not be possible but we have to strive to make it happen, he said.

He acknowledged the assembled tribal hoho leaders and apex bodies for their participation and also the inclusion of the six NNPGs Working Committee in the negotiation process.

Urging NSCN (K) to be part of the peace process, Ravi said, even though the group had abrogated the ceasefire on March 2015, he wished that the group would come and join the process since they are also stakeholders in the issue. Quoting Prime Minister’s speech on the day the Framework Agreement was signed where he said, “The Naga issue will be settled on the principle of equality and mutual respect,” Ravi said that was the mantra for him and that he was committed to working on that line.

Ravi further added that he would never backtrack in the negotiation process since there was no room to sly or fool one another and the truth will be revealed eventually.

He said Centre has its own limitations and red lines which cannot be crossed and whoever may be the Prime Minister, he or she is bound by the system which has been created for them. And within those limitations, we should be able to get the maximum solution possible for the Naga people, which must not only be honourable in outlook but also substantial.

Government of India is abstract in nature but its character depends on the person in power at a given point of time and on that note the present PM feels an urgency to solve the issue which can be seen in the frequency of his questions on the position of the negotiations, Ravi said. “We do not have the luxury of dragging the issue for years and years since the character of the issue will change with the change of leadership even if

the Government of India and Nagas remain the same, and therefore we must not waste time but be practical, serious and brutally honest in solving the issue,” Ravi said.

He reiterated that the issue will be resolved with the cooperation of the people and the good faith with which it was started.

Earlier, in his short speech, Khekiye K Sema said, since Nagas were at a very critical point of history it was important to put facts into perspective and borne in mind as the negotiation was about to take place.

He said, till date the Government of India had been taking unilateral decisions and that up to this point of time “the negotiation had been carried out only with NSCN (I-M).

“This has been viewed as being detriment to the people in general,” he added. The general feeling is that “our future cannot be decided without informing us what it is all about.

“The stakeholders that are gathered here, who represent the backbone of the society are here to affirm that your (Ravi) effort in talking to the six NNPGs Working Committee (WC) is the final and the actual direction in a positive frame. This is the real meaning of what the Naga movement has been all about since 1951 plebiscite, which began from stations from within the state of Nagaland,” he added.

While not undermining NSCN (I-M), Khekiye said that the NSCN (I-M) do not represent the totality of the people of Nagaland. “The working committee, for whatever their capacity be, represents the will of the people as endorsed by the presence of all the backbones of what a Naga community would call the real consensus,” he said.

“And if that is not done, concluding any negotiation with only NSCN (I-M) would bear disastrous consequences,” he said. Short speeches were also delivered

by K. Seyie, Ao Senden (represented by Supu Jamir), Angami Public Organization (Neisakholie), Chakhesang Public Organization (Vesakhoyi Nyekha), Rengma Hoho (Kenyeseng Tep), Sumi Hoho (H. Sikhu), Zeliang People’s Organization (Joshua Newmai), ENPO (Sashi Naga) and Lotha Hoho secretary.

Apex organizations including NTC, NGBF, CNTC, NSCA and UNTABA also delivered short speeches. Earlier, the facilitation programme was chaired by Theja Therieh, while Nagaland Christian Forum vice president Rev. Dr. N paphino read the scripture and pronounced the invocation.

GANDHINAGAR, Oct 23 (AGENCIES): A day after Revenue Secretary said the Goods and Services Tax (GST) requires a major rejig, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi stepped up attacks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and dubbed the GST as “BJP’s Gabbar Singh Tax.” Addressing a rally here on Monday, Gandhi slammed the Centre for a ‘faulty tax regime’ that is destroying small businessmen and industries in the country. “The government ignored all our suggestions on GST and introduced it with celebrations at midnight. In their GST, there is the highest 28% tax and three return forms that makes the GST Gabbar Singh Tax,” Gandhi said. Demonetisation and

NP: As an interlocutor you have been interacting with Naga leaders from time to time, do you feel that the civil society organisations, tribal Hohos or state government are doing enough to facilitate early solution to the Naga issue?

Ravi: Yes, I have taken the Naga Peace Process out of the closet and I am in regular conversations with all the crucial stakeholders.

I must say that the Naga civil societies and Tribal bodies have been a positive force. I thank them for their cooperation being closer to the people and the contemporary realities they are more pragmatic than the armed groups who at times seem trapped in the rhetoric of the past. However, some civil societies are still at the fence I would urge them to play a proactive role in bridging the differences between the parties. Merely being a facilitator, which some of them claim to be, is not enough.

shall address both the broad political issues as well as locational aspirations.

NP: There are speculations that a solution would be worked out before 2018 Nagaland state assembly elections. Will the people of Nagaland face elections? Or Nagas will have a solution before the elections?

Ravi: We are working hard for an expeditious conclusion of the Peace Process. It has taken long time and is testing the patience of the people. While my endeavour is to conclude it as soon as possible, you will appreciate that it is not for one party alone to bring the agreement. Negotiating parties have to agree. I am hopeful of an early solution but can’t unilaterally set a deadline. Conducting elections is the responsibility of the Election Commission of India (ECI). Unless there is significant substantive change in the facts on the ground, I presume it will go ahead.

ments, understanding and mutual trust. This process has been instructive and educative for both of us. It has brought much greater clarity on issues. With the six groups being part of the Peace Process, I am hopeful of any early comprehensive settlement.

NP: What does government of India mean by one Peace Process and one solution for the Nagas?

Ravi: One loud lesson of the past is that an enduring solution to the Naga issue has to be comprehensive. There is no room for a part solution. GoI will not allow anyone to fragment the Naga issue. We know that the Naga political issue is common though expressed differently by different groups. Also there are legitimate locational aspirations. They have to be duly attended and honourably addressed. Hence the peace process has to be inclusive.

Ravi: About 20 years back GoI engaged the NSCN (I-M) for a comprehensive resolution of the Naga issue. We have always looked upon the NSCN (I-M) leaders negotiating with the GoI as Naga interlocutors. Their leadership in the negotiation with GoI cannot be under appreciated. Over the years of negotiation the GoI and NSCN (I-M) to a great deal have understood each others’ position and difficulties.

It has helped us in coming much closer to each other than before. NSCN (I-M) is not opposed to an inclusive peace process and solution because we know that for an enduring solution we have to include all the stakeholders who are willing to be part of it. By inclusive process we strengthen the ongoing Peace Process. I won’t let anyone weaken or undermine it.

NP: Government of India is now holding talks with two parties – NSCN

(I-M) and WC of NNPGs – is there any possibility of these groups not accepting each other’s agenda?

Ravi: While there may be differences among the perspective of Naga groups, the GoI has only one perspective and agenda that is comprehensive resolution of the Naga political issue.

I believe differences among the Naga groups are more apparent than real. I am trying my best to help them sort it out.

NP: In the past, you have stated that talks with NSCN (I-M) are at an advanced stage and that both the parties are closer to signing the final agreement. If this is the scenario, how are you going to accommodate NNPGs at this stage?

Ravi: Yes, the ‘Talks’ with the NSCN (I-M) is at an advanced stage though there are a few issues yet to be resolved. I am hopeful that they will be sorted out soon. We have reached this stage through detailed argu-

“I spoke to industry people and they say digital work for all big companies is growing in double digits.

Rest of the traditional business is not growing much.

Digital is growing very rapidly and for the big fellows digital is 20-25 per cent of business. So, I think there is good growth,” Pai said.

According to Balakrishnan, overall global IT spending is around USD 3.7 trillion every year.

“Of that, one-third is IT services; so there is still a lot of spending happening on the legacy side which goes into maintenance and building some core applications. That has not gone away.

“The incremental spending is happening in the digital area, and there, companies are building capabilities trying to play to ecosystem and go to the clients. Both are happening. I don’t think the legacy services are totally gone. A large part of it is still there,” Balakrishnan added.

One of the reasons for the pendency of the disqualification petition, the NLA speaker said was the unfortunate demise of the petitioner himself, which has literally rendered the proceedings infructuous in the legal parlance.

However, the speaker said petitions have been received for impleading Yitachu, MLA, as co-petitioner on October 3, 2017 and also another fresh petition have been filed by Yitachu, MLA praying for disqualification of 36 MLAs dated October 6, 2017.

According to the speaker, the said petitions were being examined and order would be issued in accordance with the provisions of law, particularly the Members of NLA (Disqualification on ground of defection) Rules, 2003 as soon as possible.

Further, NLA speaker also said that request for recognising Kuzholuzo Nienu as leader of the NPF legislature party dated July 31, 2017, which was received on August 7, 2017, was under reference for legal

opinion.

Also, the speaker said letter of Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu, president NPF, appointing Yitachu, MLA, as chief whip for the legislature party of NPF, which was received only on October 16, 2017, was under examination keeping in view the developments in the Election Commission’s dealing with the party issue and the Whip case registered as W.P (C) No. 138 (K)/2017 filed by petitioner themselves.

The speaker said he was equally anxious to dispose of all pending issues expeditiously and was in no way deliberately delaying the process except for the circumstances stated above.

Affir m ing tha t he would perform his duty in accordance with the provisions of law, the speaker, said he may, therefore, not be pressurised for hasty decision by any one as the decisions have serious bearings on the people the members represent.

In the light of the above, the speaker has appealed to the NPF youth wing to call off the Dharna.

well, Indian IT companies “have a hope”.

“They (the US) are talking about raising interest rates because growth is good, unemployment rate is very low, (US President Donald) Trump is talking about cutting corporate tax, so the economy is doing well. As long as the US economy does well, there will be opportunities for Indian IT companies,” Balakrishnan said.

On NASSCOM projecting Indian IT export to grow 7-8 per cent in 201718 and domestic market expanding 10-11 per cent, he said “it looks okay for the year”.

“But I think the next year should be good if the US economy continues to do well,” Balakrishnan said.

Another ex-CFO of Infosys, T V Mohandas Pai, said he has read many analysts’ reports in the US that indicate that “the work is coming to big system integrators because tasks have become complex”.

Hyderabad, Oct 23 (PTI): With the US economy doing well, Indian IT companies can look forward to a better year in 2018 on the back of growing tech spend and demand from clients, according to senior industry figures.

Noting that the largest market for Indian IT companies is the US, former CFO of Infosys V Balakrishnan said their ability to grab growth opportunities is critical. “(The) US economy is doing extremely well. I think they are still growing 2-2.5 per cent, good growth for that economy,” he told PTI. “If you look at the Gartner report, they talked about overall IT spend going up by 4-4.5 per cent this year. I think there is growth.

The ability of the company to take on growth is critical.

I think growth opportunities are there,” added Balakrishnan.

Abe to push pacifist constitution reform

TOKYO. OCT 23 (AGENCIES): Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, buoyed by a huge election win for lawmakers who favor revising Japan’s post-war, pacifist constitution, signaled a push towards his long-held goal on Monday but will need to convince a divided public to succeed, reports Reuters.

Parties in favor of amending the U.S.-drafted charter won nearly 80 percent of the seats in Sunday’s lower house election, media counts showed.

That left the small, new Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDPJ) as the biggest group opposed to Abe’s proposed changes.

Formed by liberal members of the Democratic Party, which im-

Shinzo Abe

ploded before the election and no longer exists in the lower house, the CDPJ won 55 seats, a final count by public broadcaster NHK shows. That is a fraction of the ruling bloc’s two-thirds majority of 313 seats in the 465-member chamber.

Abe said he wanted to get other parties on board, including Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike’s new con-

servative Party of Hope, and was not insisting on a target of changing the constitution by 2020 that he floated this year.

“We won a two-thirds majority as the ruling bloc, but it is necessary to strive to form a wide-ranging agreement among the ruling bloc and opposition (to revise the constitution),” Abe told a news conference on Monday.

“And then we aim to win the understanding of the people, so that we can gain a majority in a referendum,” Abe said. He stopped short of claiming to have won a mandate for amending the constitution in Sunday’s election.

Amending the charter’s pacifist Article 9 would be hugely symbolic for Japan. Supporters see it as

the foundation of post-war democracy but many conservatives view it as a humiliating imposition after Japan’s defeat in 1945.

It would also be a victory for Abe, whose conservative agenda of restoring traditional values, stressing obligations to the state over individual rights and loosening constraints on the military, centers on revising the constitution.

“Mr. Abe is trying to create a legacy. His first legacy project was to get the economy out of deflation,” said Jesper Koll, head of equities fund WisdomTree Japan.

“The second legacy is to change the constitution,” he said. “You can debate whether he has a mandate but what will make or break him ... is the constitutional

issue.”

Any revision of the constitution requires support from two-thirds of the members of both chambers of parliament and a majority in a public referendum, with no minimum quorum.

“I think that debate in parliament will begin,” said Zentaro Kamei, a senior researcher at think tank PHP Institute and a former lawmaker of Abe’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).

“But the reason given for this snap election was Abe’s proposal to change what sales tax hike revenues would be used for.

If he starts talking about the constitution, people will say, ‘You didn’t ask me that’,” Kamei said.

Panama row: Pak FM appears before court ISLAMABAD, OCT 23 (PTI): Ishaq Dar, Pakistan’s embattled Finance Minister and ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif ’s close aide, indicted in a graft case in the Panama Papers scandal, today appeared before an anti-corruption court here for the seventh time.

The National Accountability Court had indicted Dar last month in the case pertaining to his owning assets “beyond his known sources of income”.

At today’s hearing, the anti-corruption watchdog National Accountability Bureau (NAB) prosecution presented two new witnesses against the 67-yearold minister, the Dawn reported.

The NAB on September 8 filed the case against Dar following the July 28

verdict of the Supreme Court in the Panama Papers case that indicted Sharif and his family.

The apex court had also disqualified Sharif and ordered corruption cases against him, his children Maryam, Husain and Hasan and son-in-law Muhammad Safdar.

The first witness, Abdul Rehman Gondal, branch manager of a private bank’s parliament branch, has completed his statement and is being cross-examined by Dar’s counsel Khawaja Haris, the report said.

Gondal provided details of the account held

by Dar in the bank. He informed the court that the NAB had summoned him along with relevant documents on August 16 and

he submitted the requisite record concerning Dar to the investigating officer.

Gondal said he had provided bank statements of Dar from March 25, 2005 to August 16, 2017 to the NAB. The bank transaction details provided by the witness were made part of case record by the court, the report said.

The court directed to him appear in the next hearing with additional record. The second witness, Masood Ghani, the operations manager in a private bank, gave his testimony regarding Dar’s bank record. His crossexamination could not be completed today and the court ordered him to appear in the next hearing with the record sought by the defence counsel.

The US pop star revealed the news on his Twitter feed - with a little help from talk show host Jimmy Fallon. Timberlake sang at the 2001 Super Bowl with former band N’Sync before sharing the stage with Jackson in 2004.

That performance saw the singer rip off part of Jackson’s bodice, exposing her right breast. The “Nipplegate” moment overshadowed events on the field and saw broadcaster CBS receive a record fine.

eorge Michael is on course to top the UK album chart this Friday, 10 months after his death.

Listen Without Prejudice Vol 1 spent a week at number one when it was originally released in 1990.

It has now been reissued with a bonus disc including the singer’s 1996 MTV Unplugged session.

It leads this week’s album chart race, outselling Niall Horan’s solo debut by almost 25,000 copies after three days, the Official Charts Company said.

The Listen Without Prejudice re-release coincides with the airing of a documentary about the ex-Wham! singer’s career, which he had been working on before his death on Christmas Day last year.

George Michael: Freedom was shown on Channel 4 last week and focused on the period leading up to and following the original release of Listen Without Prejudice Vol 1.

The album, which includes hits like Freedom ‘90 and Praying For Time, is currently ahead of Niall Horan’s debut album Flicker.

The One Direction singer announced his album release with a note about how “proud” he was of the record.

The 24-year-old told fans on Twitter he was “really nervous”, particularly because he had written some of the songs as long as 18 months ago.

Last week’s number one, Beautiful Trauma by Pink, is currently ranked third.

England-Brazil U-17 WC semi-final shifted from Guwahati to Kolkata

NEW DELHI, Oct 23 (PTI): The FIFA Under-17 World Cup semifinal between Brazil and England was on Monday shifted from Guwahati to Kolkata due to poor pitch conditions in the North-Eastern city, a development which will cause inconvenience to the two teams.

The match, which was to be played at the Indira Gandhi stadium at the Assam capital, will be held as scheduled on October 25 but at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata.

“Following a thorough assessment of the pitch conditions at Guwahati’s Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium, which has been affected by severe rainfall over the past few days, FIFA has decided to move the venue of the semi-final between England and Brazil to Kolkata’s Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan, where the match will kick off at 17:00hrs,” the FIFA said in a statement.

The change of venue will cause some inconvenience to the English and Brazillian teams as they had already landed in Guwahati. The two teams were also scheduled to have training sessions in Guwahati this evening. The pitch at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium was severely affected during the quarterfinal

match between Ghana and Mali on Saturday which was played under incessant rain. The Assam capital has been experiencing rain for the last four days, though it relented a bit today.

Rain stopped after light showers in the morning but the ground has been significantly damaged. Ghana coach Samuel Fabian had said that the match should have been postponed and played on another date after his side lost to Mali 1-2.

“Despite the great efforts by all involved parties, including the authorities of Guwahati, to preserve the pitch, FIFA has taken this decision following consultations with both teams in order to safeguard the players’ health and to en-

sure the best playing conditions,” the FIFA added.

The second semi-final on October 25, between Mali and Spain, will still kick off as planned at 2000hrs at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.

Fans with a valid ticket for the semi-final originally planned to take place in Guwahati will be entitled for a refund.

All purchasable tickets for the rescheduled game in Kolkata will be priced at Rs 100 and made available on a first-come-first-served basis. The original Guwahati ticket-holders would be required to carry online proof of purchase to the dedicated ticket counter for Guwahati customers, should they travel to Kolkata. These tickets have also been priced at Rs 100.

FIFA and the Local Organising Committee said it regretted that the match had to be shifted out of Guwahati.

“FIFA and the LOC regret that unforeseen circumstances have led to this decision, which will deprive football fans in Guwahati of this semi-final encounter. Both FIFA and the LOC would like to sincerely thank the city of Guwahati and the state government of Assam for their excellent cooperation throughout the competition.”

Nadal continues at Wozniacki thrashes Svitolina top of ATP rankings Siraj, Iyer in NZ T20Is; Vijay returns for Tests in straight sets at WTA Finals

Caroline Wozniacki

SINGAPORE, OCT 23 (Agencies): World nu m b e r s i x C a r o l i n e Wozniacki posted her first win over Elina Svitolina in grand style with a straight sets thrashing in the WTA Finals on Monday.

Denmark’s Wozniacki had previously lost all three matches to Svitolina, including crushing finals losses in Dubai and

Toronto this year, but overcame her nemesis with a 6-2, 6-0 destruction in just 59 minutes.

Opening her WTA Finals campaign, Wozniacki won 10 straight games to continue a trend of onesided matches at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Players with previous experience on the slower court in Singapore

have won all four matches during the opening two nights.

Wo z n i a c k i , w h o played in Singapore in 2014, completely overwhelmed the Ukrainian in a perfect start in her bid to regain the world’s number one ranking after a fiveyear drought. The 27-yearold is one of seven players in the tournament in the running for the prized top ranking.

The lopsided result seemed unlikely in the early going with both players slugging from the baseline in almost identical fashion.

But Wozniacki started finding her range to peel off winners and she claimed a decisive break in the sixth game. She closed out the first set by breaking Svitloina, whose error-riddled performance delivered eight unforced errors in the opening set.

Madrid, Oct 23 (IANS): Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal remained in the number one spot in the men’s Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) singles rankings released on Monday.

The current ATP rankings and point scores are: 1. Rafael Nadal 10,465 pnts 2. Roger Federer 8,505 3. Andy Murray 5,290 4. Marin Cilic 4,505 5. Alexander Zverev 4,400 6. Dominic Thiem 3,935 7. Novak Djokovic 3,765 8. Grigor Dimitrov 3,650 9. Stan Wawrinka 3,450 10. David Goffin 2,840.

M um b ai , O ct 2 3 (IANS): Hyderabad pacer Mohammed Siraj and Mumbai batsman Shreyas Iyer are the fresh inclusions in the India squad for the three Twenty20 Internationals (T20I) against New Zealand, starting November 1.

Veteran Ashish Nehra has been picked only for the first T20I in New Delhi, which is slated to be his last match. “Iyer has been prolific across formats -in first-class, one-dayers, T20 -- he’s been performing consistently,” chairman of selectors M.S.K. Prasad told reporters here on Monday.

“If we pick a player, we will give him a long run. The same applies for Siraj.”

While Delhi’s Feroz Shah Kotla will host the first of the three T20Is on November 1, the second and third games will be played on November 4 and 7 respectively at Rajkot and Thiruvananthapuram.

Meanwhile, the spin duo of Ravichandran Ash-

win and Ravindra Jadeja made a comeback to the longest format as the selectors also recalled opener Murali Vijay to the squad, announced for the first two Tests against Sri Lanka.

India skipper Virat Kohli may be rested for the final contest of the threematch Test series against Sri Lanka and the subsequent limited-overs series against the same opponents in order to keep him fresh for the tour of South Africa which starts on December 30.

“With regards to Virat Kohli, there was some speculation that he is going to be rested for the whole of Sri Lankan series, it is not right. As far as the Test series is concerned, he is going to play and at some point of time, the rotation policy that we are following will apply to the captain,” Prasad said.

“We are also monitoring his workload. He has been playing continuously right from the Indian Premier League (IPL) till today, we need to

give him a break which we will consider after the Test series,” he added. The committee also named the Board President’s XI for two-day warm-up tie against Sri Lanka to be played in Kolkata on November 11 and 12.

The first Test will be played in Kolkata from November 16-20 while Nagpur will host the second Test from November 24-28. The final Test will be played in

Delhi from December 2-6.

Squad for T20I vs New Zealand: Virat Kohli (Captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Lokesh Rahul, Manish Pandey, Shreyas Iyer, Dinesh Karthik, MS Dhoni (WK), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Ashish Nehra (only for first T20I).
