Catalan parl declares Independence BARCELONA, OCT 27 (IANS): Lawmakers at the Catalan parliament on Friday voted in favour of unilaterally declaring independence from Spain and thus triggered a response from the country’s Senate that approved a constitutional measure to strip the northeastern region of its self-government.

The Catalan resolution was approved with 70 votes in favour, 10 against and two ballots left blank, in the regional chamber that has 135 seats. A few minutes later, Spain’s Senate voted to withdraw Catalonia’s autonomy by 214 votes, 47 against and one abstention.

Two senators, Jose Montilla, a former President of Catalonia, and Fracesc Antic, ex-President of the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean, walked out of the Senate prior to the vote.

The Catalan regional branches of Spain’s main political parties -- the ruling conservative Popular Party, the Socialist Party (PSOE) and the centre-right Ciudadanos -- all walked out of the Catalan parliament and refused to take part in the independence vote, which they considered unconstitutional.

source confirmed to Efe that Madrid would appeal the declaration of independence in the Constitutional Court, the highest rung of the country’s judiciary.

Lawmakers at the Catalan parliament had previously approved starting the constitutional mechanisms necessary to create a new state with 71 votes in favour, eight against and three abstentions.

As the vote took place, some 15,000 people gathered outside the parliament building in Barcelona in favour of independence, chanting “not a single step back,” and “we are with you.” At the same time, the Spanish Senate was preparing a series of measures underpinning Article 155 of the Constitution, a legal device to bring autonomous regions under the central government’s direct rule.

The Senate’s debate was ordered by Rajoy.

The government wants to remove Catalan leader Puigdemont and his cabinet from their posts, limit the functions of the local parliament, impose direct Madrid rule on some Catalan ministries and institutions as well as call fresh elections.

Naga solution should not distort Manipur’s map: CM Correspondent

IMPHAL, OCT 27: Manipur chief minister, N. Biren Singh on Friday asserted that his government would not remain a silent spectator if Manipur’s territorial integrity was distorted in the event a solution is arrived at between NSCN (I-M) and Government of India.

Singh’s statement assumes significance in the wake of several rumours doing the rounds that there was possibilities of Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam’s territory being carved out for the “greater Nagalim” demand.

While extending support for a peaceful solution to the vexed Naga issue, Singh however said that the Manipur government was firm not to allow any agreement that would hamper the state’s territorial integrity.

Talking to media persons on the sidelines of a public function, Singh said he had called for an all party meeting on Saturday, 4 p.m. at the CM’s secretariat, to deliberate and take a strong stand on the issue, cutting across all party lines.

BDDC, LLOMBZA want creation of Bhandari distt, amendment of NPNGR KOHIMA, OCT 27 (NPN): In a significant development, Bhandari District Demand Committee (BDDC) and Lower Lotha Oil and Mineral Bearing Zone Association (LLOMBZA) have demanded creation of Bhandari district as well as to expedite the amendment of NPNG Rules and Regulations 2012 pertaining to oil exploration and operations.

The demands were contained in a memorandum submitted to the chief minister, T.R. Zeliang when a joint delegation met the latter at his residence office Friday, stated a communiqué issued by the CMO’s media cell. The two organisations justified the demand for creation of Bhandari district on the ground of problems of road accessibility, administrative convenience and backwardness of the areas.

In response, the chief minister assured the delegation that he would look into the matter after studying a report from a verification team. Zeliang supplemented the demand by stressing on the need to open up the mineral resource-stacked Bhandari to a new hori-

zon of development and also considering the border problem with Assam, lack of road and communication accessibility and economic disadvantage.

Zeliang urged upon the delegation to convince those sections of people who had reservations about the agreement for exploration and exploitation of mineral resources (NPNG Rules and Regulations), so that it would benefit the people of the state. Zeliang also informed the delegation about the productive negotiations being held between the state government and Centre on the constitutional legality, modalities and share ratio between stakeholders, worked out for exploration of petroleum and natural gas in the state. He however,

regretted that such endeavour was put on halt due to PIL filed in the court.

In this regard, Zeliang requested the delegation to discuss the matter among themselves, so that the matter could be amicably settled outside the court.

CMO also provided data to highlight the importance of the oil bearing area – Bhandari- which has a total area of 778.74 Sq.kms with 73 villages and lies 70 kms away from Wokha district Hqs. “Though the Lothas are the main inhabitants of the state’s oldest sub-division, there are sizable presence of Sumi and Karbi populations,” it said. Till today, the government has declared it as ‘Economically and Developmentally Backward Area since 1983, CMO stated.

Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy assured that “the rule of law would restore legality to Catalonia,” and asked Spain to remain calm.

His cabinet was scheduled to begin a meeting to discuss the results late on Friday. Initial reactions from around the world gave support to Spain but also called on its government to show restraint in dealing with the situation.

DIMAPUR, OCT 27 (NPN): Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has appealed to the state chief minister to expedite the process of investigation being undertaken by the State Vigilance Commission into irregularities/mismanagement of Mid Day Meal (MDM) scheme and submit the reports within 45 days.

In a representation addressed to the state chief minister, NSF president, Kesosul Christopher Ltu, and general secretary, Imtiyapang Imsong, stated that the NSF and its federating units undertook thorough physical verification to government schools to ascertain whether the MDM scheme was implemented.

However, NSF said it was found out that almost all the schools did not provide the facilities as per the guidelines and in

locutor on the issue.

“I hope the Spanish government favours force of argument, not argument of force,” he said on his official Twitter account.

The United States Department of State also voiced its backing for Spain, insisting that the two countries were close allies with a great friendship.

Some schools, NSF said had not even provided MDM even once for the academic session of 2017 depriving and denying the students of their rightful benefits and rights. “We are amazed to discover precisely a contradictory scenario and the schemes never reached the grassroots for whom the project was intended for,” the signatories said.

They said the federation through the findings has arrived to a conclusion that the amount sanctioned for the scheme were siphoned off by some unscrupulous elements.

In this regard, the NSF has demanded that proper and effective strict disciplinary measure be initiated to penalize the defaulters of the implementing agency.

KOHIMA, OCT 27 (NPN): A day after Nagaland Legislative Assembly (NLA) speaker, Dr. Imtiwapang Aier, asked the nine NPF MLAs to appear before him for hearing on the petition for disqualification in his office chamber on October 31, the NPF legislature party spokesperson, Yitachu, MLA, Friday described speaker’s summon as an attempt to delay the court hearing on the whip issue, which would come up for hearing on October 30.

Speaking at fifth day sit-in dharna outside Civil Secretariat here, Yitachu said that the truth would prevail no matter how best they try.

He contended that disqualification could be attracted only if the members voluntarily gave up membership of a political party, office of profits, voting or abstention against the party whip, convicted on corrupt charges, criminal charges, resignation, misinterpretation in the nomination age, qualification etc.

NPF legislature party spokesperson assured that nothing would happen to the nine MLAs, saying they cannot be disqualified and would take the party forward with truth.

Further, Yitachu said that the disqualification petition against whip did not need hearing, (Cont’d on p-7) adding that neither did it

DIMAPUR, OCT 27 (NPN): Nagaland Law Students’ Federation (NLSF) has threatened the state government of legal action if the latter failed to release the scholarship to the students within seven days. NLSF general secretary, Medochutuo Kiewhuo and information and publicity secretary, Roland Zeliang questioned the apathy of the Higher Education department towards the genuine plea of the students who were demanding their due rights of scholarships.

It said the objective of scholarships was to provide financial assistance to the students to manage their educational requirements. However, NLSF said the denial of scholarship coupled with installment basis, “a first of a kind by any state in our country, was pathetic and bear signs of inefficiency and unaccountability of the department.”

NLSF said despite Centre releasing the amount, the delay in the state to disburse the scholar-

ship was evidently a procedural lapse and negative system of the machinery.

It said that the neighbouring states have already disbursed the scholarship within the stipulated time. Taking serious note of the issue, the federation said it would not allow such unethical practices to continue. “The youths are tired and frustrated of complacency and unaccountability. It is an era where we are all aware of our rights which the department has long ignored and the ignorance will land in trouble before the authority,” it said.

While stating that “diplomatic channel” was always open to resolve issues, NLSF at the same time warned that if the government failed to act positively, it would “seek the arms of justice where justice is served and defaulter reprimanded.”

Meanwhile, NLSF has informed the students to contact the federation if they required any assistance on the issue.

Tokheho defends Noke’s appointment TVC bans entry of heavy vehicles DIMAPUR, OCT 27 (NPN): Reacting to the statement of the DAN coordination committee, asking adviser & DAN chairman, Noke Wangnao to prove support of parties backing him as the DAN chairman, Parliamentary Affairs minister and NPF legislature party spokesperson, Tokheho Yepthomi reminded the “self-styled” committee that Noke was unanimously elected as the DAN chairman during the DAN legislature party meeting on July 26, 2017.

Tokheho said Noke’s candidature was proposed by Imtilemba (BJP), minister for Cooperation, R&R, MARCOFED and seconded

by SI Jamir (NPF), adviser (Urban Development) and Er. Levi Rengma (IND), parliamentary secretary (Housing) in the presence of state BJP president, Visasolie Lhoungu.

“Therefore, it is without an iota of doubt that Noke Wangnao is the DAN chairman which comprises of 36 NPF, 4 BJP and 7 Independent MLAs,” Tokheho added.

He said that the BJP-led NDA at the Centre was a conglomeration

of few parties. However, since the group led by Dr Shürhozelie had viciously severed ties with the BJP and the NDA on July 18, they have no reason to claim to be part and parcel of the NDA, Tokheho stated.

He said even though Kuzholuzo (Azo) Nienu claimed to be the DAN chairman, supposedly supported by NCP and JD (U), these parties do not have a single MLA or party organisation in the state. Therefore, Tokheho said that there should not be any confusion about Noke being the DAN chairman.

Tokheho also said it was unambiguous that Dr. Shürhozelie’s group was “using all forms of undemocratic means to threaten the Speaker to disqualify the 36 MLAs and also forcing him to recognise Azo as the leader of the NPF legislature party and recognise Yitachu as the chief whip.”

He said the office of the speaker was a constitutional post and the wisdom and integrity of the office should not be challenged by any individual. Tokheho reminded Dr.

DIMAPUR, OCT 27 (NPN): Thahekhu Village Council (TVC) along with village GBs, Thahekhu Village Students’ Union (TVSU) and other frontal bodies of the village on Friday deployed volunteers at various intersections of the village to monitor the movement of heavy vehicles on village approach road and directing them to the specified route.

In a press note, TVC chairman, I. Khekuto Yeptho, said heavy vehicles coming from Dhobinalla side have been specified to use PWD road– entry from left side of Thahekhu tower Jn. and exit from GHS Thahekhu and vice versa for those heavy vehicles approaching from Rangapahar railway crossing side. However, TVC chairman stated that many heavy vehicles continue to ply along the village approach road endangering the life span of the road.

Stating that specified route for heavy vehicles fell under the purview of the State PWD, the village council, however, said that TVC and Thahekhu VDB have (Cont’d on p-7) been annually maintaining the

Shürhozelie’s group not to make the mistake they had made when Chotisuh Sazo was the speaker, wherein he was forced to disqualify three BJP MLAs in 2014. However, he said the disqualification was quashed by the Gauhati High Court. Tokheho said it was clear that Dr. Shürhozelie had forced Chotisuh to disqualify the BJP MLAs fearing that the BJP would disturb the government if their numbers increased.

On Yitachu’s statement that they could impeach the speaker, Tokheho said “If they have found any fault, they should not have had any second thought and should have moved for impeachment of the speaker.” Therefore, Tokheho said they challenged Dr. Shürhozelie’s group to do so if their contentions were valid.

With regard to ECI directing NPF to hold the General Convention, Tokheho made known that the dispute was not over and that despite allegations and counter allegations, a case had been filed for hearing which was pending.

road with their limited resources.

Following the damage of bridge at Nagarjan, the TVC said number of vehicles plying along Rangapahar Railway Crossing via Thahekhu has increased worsening the already dire condition of the road.

It said the recent partial caving of culvert at Khashiram near The Maple Tree School has compelled heavy Army vehicles to take Thahekhu route adding to worsening of the road. In this regard, TVC appealed the responsible department to maintain the road that had been neglected for the last 10-15 years. TVC said the village authorities may be compelled to close the route for public if the road was not accorded timely maintenance by the department.

Further, TVC has appealed to the responsible department to give due importance to the road at the earliest possible time. TVC has also requested commuters to comply within the speed limit and cooperate with the village authorities. TVC informed that free public toilets and urinals have been constructed at various locations.

DIMAPUR, OCT 27 (NPN): Nagaland Governor, PB Acharya, Friday congratulated and appreciated the efforts of Interlocutor for Naga peace talks, RN Ravi, to address the long pending issue, and positive response from Naga people. In a statement issued through the PRO, Acharya said he “values the formal joining of six NNPGs working committee.” Acharya also requested NSCN (K) to join the peace process so that a meaningful solution to the protracted Naga political problem was found at the earliest. He further appealed to all NGOs, political parties and civil society organisations to stand united as one society to make the peace process a success.

48-hr KPU NH-2 bandh

DIMAPUR, OCT 27 (NPN): Kandi Public Union (KUP) on Friday said that the state government’s “irresponsive attitude” has compelled it to go ahead with proposed total bandh along NH-2 from October 31, 6 a.m. to mid-night of November 1. In a press release, KPU secretary publicity & information, Khiyalo Kez, stated that the bandh would be the first phase agitation against the government’s failure to construct BDO office under RD Block Chunlikha. Meanwhile, KPU said paramilitary/police, magistrate on duty, ambulance, wedding party and media have been exempted from the purview of the total bandh.

NPF 9 Kma town A/C reacts to Dr. Shurho’s statement DIMAPUR: NPF 9 Kohima town Assembly Constituency (AC) has expressed surprised at the statement made by Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu, MLA, at the recently concluded Kohima town AC coordination meeting held on October 24 in Kohima.

A press statement by NPF 9th Kohima town AC, president, Zutuo Kire and general secretary, Mathew Solo, while quoting Dr. Shurhozelie’s statement said, in his speech the latter lamented that many party workers had left the party and urged that the remaining party workers to be strong and committed in their stand.

NPF 9 Kohima town AC said

it was “unbecoming” for a senior leader like him to make a statement to confuse the public as the party workers never left but were dissolved by Dr. Shurhozelie as a party president without any concrete reasons and after which a “new version/breed” of NPF 9 Kohima town A/C emerged.

The release clarified that the party set up was still very intact “firm as a willow”, so the term “remaining party workers” mentioned by the former chief minister might be a “collection of mere new breed of workers”.

NPF 9 Kohima town AC said it was not surprised but shocked at the remark made by Dr. Shurhozelie Liezi-

etsu that Dr. Neikiesalie Kire decided to join the rival group. It reminded Dr. Shurhozelie that after his appointment as chief minister, NPF 9 Kohima town AC representative was dropped from the ministry to a “mere” MLA when the whole denizens of Kohima town were in high hopes from him to treat the capital and its representatives as important. In this connection, NPF 9 Kohima town AC said it wrote to the chief minister for the “injustice” however there was no response from his end for which NPF 9 Kohima town AC, party workers and representatives in the greater interest of its denizens opted to join the majority.

Shillong, Oct 27: Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma on Friday rubbished Union Tourism Minister K.J. Alphons accusing him of “stealing people’s money” and said it requires legal examination.

“This type of allegation will require legal examination.

What does he mean by ‘stealing people’s money’,” Sangma asked.

Alphons, on Thursday was in Sohra, the wettest place on earth. He addressed BJP’s public rally to drum up support for his party in the next year’s assembly elections. He also allayed fears and apprehension that the BJP was “anti-Christian”.

“He (Sangma) has made promises to the state and people of Meghalaya that he would do many things. But all that he has done is stealing money from the people and this shall not continue,” Alphons told journalists after addressing the public meeting. The former bureaucrat-turned Union Minister, however, said that the Bharatiya Janata Party keeps its promises that it makes to the people.

“Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) has delivered to the people of India an amazing administration and his focus has been pro-poor.

“The people of Meghalaya need education, they need opportunities for the young people to work here and all this can happened if we have a corruption-free government and that can happened only if the BJP comes to power,” he said.

Minister claims innocence; BJP slammed over scribe’s arrest

Rajesh Munat

Vinod Verma

Raipur, Oct 27 (IANS): Chhattisgarh’s ruling BJP came under attack on Friday after the arrest of a senior journalist in Ghaziabad who claimed he had a “sex tape” involving PWD Minister Rajesh Munat. The minister insisted he was innocent.

The pre-dawn police raid at the residence of Vinod Verma, now the media face of Chhattisgarh Congress President Bhupesh Baghel, and his arrest has charged up the political atmosphere in this state which goes to polls next year.

Police picked up Verma from his house at 3.30 a.m. and allegedly recovered about 500 copies of a CD that contains sexual material linked to Minister Munat.

Stung by the episode, the Minister held a press conference along with other Bharatiya Janata Party leaders and termed the CD “tampered and morphed” and urged Chief Minister

Raman Singh to order a thorough probe. “I am in politics for roughly 34 years and never thought I would ever witness such allegation which shows to what extent the level of politics has fallen,” said an unfazed Munat. Munat is considered close to Raman Singh and the CD issue has pushed the BJP on the back foot.

Chhattisgarh has a track record of CD scandals against top leaders across the parties. This time the alleged CD scam hit the state too early as the state is expected to face polls in November 2018. Armed with CD issue, Baghel slammed Chhattisgarh Police for “acting too fast” against the journalist who was not even named in the FIR filed in the matter at Raipur’s Pandri police station on October 26.

The police have got transit remand of Verma from a court in Ghaziabad over allegations of black-

mail and extortion.

The BJP went into a huddle on Friday evening in Raipur and sought opinion from legal experts on how to turn the heat back on Baghel. Finally, Munat, accompanied by top party leaders, visited the Civil Lines police station and registered a fresh FIR directly naming Verma, a member of the Editors Guild of India.

The Congress slammed the arrest of Verma and demanded his immediate release and a probe against the Chhattisgarh minister being investigated by the journalist for alleged sexrelated activities.

The Chhattisgarh Police, facing criticism for arresting the jour nalist without doing proper home work, sought to justify their action. But the police officers looked confused to offer satisfactory reply when media persons demanded to know what was the need to arrest a journalist within 12 hours on the basis of an FIR in which he was not even named. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) tried to extract mileage on Friday. Its cadres stormed Munat’s official residence near the police control room, threw black ink on his nameplate and raised slogans against the minister before being taken into police custody.

PM tells civil servants Rajasthan HC issues notices to to connect with people Centre, state on ‘gag’ ordinance

MUSSOORIE, OCT 27 (AGENCIES): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday asked trainee officers of the civil services to look beyond books and develop the ability of connecting with people to serve them better.

He gave the tips to the officer trainees of the 92nd Foundation Course at the prestigious Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) during an address here. Modi said learning from books was okay but they must also be alert and attentive to the people around them whom they are meant to serve.

He said learning from books would surely prevent them from straying and taking the wrong path but it is the connect and rapport they establish with their teams and people that will help them become successful as officers, according to a PMO statement. Underlining the importance of public participation for policy initiatives to be successfully implemented, the prime minister said that before Independence, the civil services were tasked with the objective of preserving the British Raj. But now the objective of the civil services is the prosperity and wellbeing of the people, he told the young IAS officers and

Narendra Modi added that if civil servants imbibe these objectives, the gap between government machinery and the people can be bridged.

Modi also told them that the problem of silos and lack of team spirit among civil servants can be effectively tackled during the initial training at Mussoorie, the statement said. Referring to the trek performed by officer trainnees during the foundation course, he asked them to imbibe the learnings of the trek, such as team spirit and leadership, and apply them throughout their careers. He said social movements can drive change in a democracy, and the civil services should serve as catalysts for it. Referring to the devotional song “Vaishnav Jan”, performed by officer trainees during the cultural programme presented before him yesterday, Modi said they should contemplate on the lyrics of this song, after replacing the words “Vaishnav Jan” with “Civil Servant”.

Jaipur, Oct 27 (AGENCIES): The Rajasthan high court on Friday issued notices to the Centre and the state government on the controversial ordinance that shields public servants promulgated in by the Vasundhara Raje government on September 7.

The court sought responses from the state and the Centre by November 27. A division bench of justices Ajay Rastogi and Deepak Maheshwari issued the notices on seven petitions against the ordinance, which prohibits probe without prior sanction of the government against a judge, magistrate or a public servant while discharging official duties.

It also bars the media from reporting on the accused until prosecution sanction is given by the authority, which may take up to six months.

The petitions have been filed by state Congress president Sachin Pilot, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), People’s Union for Civil Liberties, activist Bhagwat Gaur, advocate Srijna Shrestha, activist Om Prakash and Atri Kumar Dadhich, a freelance journalist, seeking quashing of the ordinance.

Advocate A K Jain, who represented Gaur in the HC, told HT that since Pilot’s petition was listed

The Vasundhara Raje government in Rajasthan had promulgated the ordinance on September 7 and remains in force for six weeks. first, the court asked his advocate to cite instances where a case was not filed because of the order.

He was unable to reply, but Jain then cited two cases — one against a senior Jaipur administration official and another against a civic body — where the court couldn’t order filing of FIR as there was no sanction and there has been no reporting of the cases in the media because of the ordinance.

The ordinance was promulgated on September 7 and remains in force for six weeks.

The government had tabled the Criminal Laws (Rajasthan Amendment)

Ordinance 2017 in the assembly on Monday, but after widespread outrage, it was referred to a select committee.

The government said the order aims to protect officials from frivolous cases aimed at defaming them and preventing them from discharging official duties.

Pilot, who filed the petition on Thursday, said, “We have urged the court to direct the Rajasthan government to withdraw the ordinance. By introducing such ordinance, the government is violating Articles 14 (right to equality), 19 (freedom of speech), and 21 (protection of life and liberty) of the Constitution.”

Madras high court dismisses PIL against ‘Mersal’ has reported that the Leader of Opposition in the state has criticised demonetisation. Can the court pass a gag order against him from making such statements?”

The petitioner, an advocate named A Ashvathaman, wanted the films certificate revoked on the

ground that it showed the central government’s Goods and Services Tax policy in bad light — an argument that the Tamil Nadu’s unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party has also raised — and was against the interests of the country’s sovereignty, integrity and security.

Granting three weeks to the Centre to file a detailed affidavit on the steps taken by the concerned ministries, the court posted the matter for further hearing on November 20.

The apex court was hearing a PIL seeking a ban on the online game and also sought direction that awareness should be created about the fatal consequences of the game.

The petitioner lawyer C.R. Jaya Sukin said the Blue Whale game is snatching the lives of children and adults, which has already caused huge damage.

New Delhi, Oct 27 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Friday directed national broadcaster Doordarshan to bring out a 10-minute show on the perils of the Blue Whale online game that has led to numerous suicides among teens.

A bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justice A.M. Khanwilkar and Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, observing that such online games posed danger to life and must be “contained”, asked Doordarshan to come out with the programme within a week and ensure it is shown by the public broadcaster and private channels on prime time.

The apex court said the visual medium is most effective and asked Doordarshan to prepare a programme in consultation with the Ministries of Women and Child Development and the Human Resource Development to educate children about the evils of Blue Whale game so that they don’t get drawn to playing it.

The Blue Whale Challenge, reportedly created by a former convict in Russia, is said to psychologically provoke players to indulge in daring, self-destructive tasks for 50 days before finally taking the “winning” step of killing themselves.

Asking the Centre to take steps to ensure that no such deaths occur, the bench said lonely and depressed children are usually attracted towards such dangerous games.

Additional Solicitor General P.S. Narasimha, appearing for the Centre, told the bench that around 28 cases relating to such games have been reported so far in the country and the agencies are probing them, and sought three weeks time to file a response.

A dubious system

W

hen put to the test, the work done by the state government has been found wanting in many aspects and it need no further explanation then the census done in 2001 that was found to have so many flaws that the delimitation exercise that began in 2006 had to be challenged in the court through PIL like the one filed by the Chakhesang Public Organisation. The Delimitation Act 2002 was a decennial exercise to determine the census through which the number of parliamentary and assembly seats were to be decided. The population of Nagaland in 1964 when the state first took part in the election, was around three and half lakh .As per the census of 2001, the figure shot up to nearly twenty lakh. As per the provisional results of the census of 2001 the total population of Nagaland as at 0:00 hours of March 1, 2001 stood at 19,88,636 which showed that the state registered the highest growth rate of population during the period 1991-2001 when its population grew by 64.41% which was the highest in the country. The demand for seeking fresh census over the 2001 figures arose in 2006 when it was revealed that an unprecedented population growth of over one hundred percent was recorded in some places while in some, the number of electorate was equal to the population or in some, where the number voters was found to be more than the recorded population. The main contention remains the 2001 census for accurate readjustment. The census figure for 2001 was 19,88,636 while the voter’s list was 11,92,084. The Census figure of Nagaland has been showing an increasing rise through the decades as among the highest rate in the country.

If the abnormal rise in census figures of Nagaland was a source of embarrassment, the sudden steep dive in the figure after the 2011 only confirmed the worst and remained a blot on the state’s reputation.

The figure of the 2011 census at 19,80,602 was the best that the state government could do in a terrible situation as for the first time, the state with the most prolific breeders for decades suddenly showed a negative growth by a little over eight thousand people. In response to the PIL filed by the CPO in 2006, the Gauhati High Court constitution bench in August 2017 ruled the PIL as infructuous on the strength of the response of the Assistant Solicitor General of India Mr. K.C. Keyal who submitted that a notification was issued by the President of India on February 8,2008 deferring delimitation exercise in the state of Nagaland, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and others. The next delimitation exercise will take place only on the basis of the first census after 2026 and that after the legal closure of the PIL, the census of 2001 stood rejected for the basis of delimitation.

The voter’s list is also suspected of being flawed as contended by various organisations including ACAUT Nagaland, in a PIL. When electoral rolls are flawed it is not difficult to understand why elections become a fraud in Nagaland. This may be a strong indictment but a bitter pill to swallow. Those involved and responsible for enumeration or revision of voters list have to be made accountable for their sin of omission or commission.

DailyDevotion The Method of Missions Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations… —Matthew 28:19 Jesus Christ did not say, “Go and save souls” (the salvation of souls is the supernatural work of God), but He said, “Go…make disciples of all the nations….” Yet you cannot make disciples unless you are a disciple yourself. When the disciples returned from their first mission, they were filled with joy because even the demons were subject to them. But Jesus said, in effect, “Don’t rejoice in successful service— the great secret of joy is that you have the right relationship with Me” (see Luke 10:17-20). The missionary’s great essential is remaining true to the call of God, and realizing that his one and only purpose is to disciple men and women to Jesus. Remember that there is a passion for souls that does not come from God, but from our desire to make converts to our point of view.

The challenge to the missionary does not come from the fact that people are difficult to bring to salvation, that backsliders are difficult to reclaim, or that there is a barrier of callous indifference. No, the challenge comes from the perspective of the missionary’s own personal relationship with Jesus Christ— “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”

(Matthew 9:28). Our Lord unwaveringly asks us that question, and it confronts us in every individual situation we encounter. The one great challenge to us is— do I know my risen Lord? Do I know the power of His indwelling Spirit? Am I wise enough in God’s sight, but foolish enough according to the wisdom of the world, to trust in what Jesus Christ has said? Or am I abandoning the great supernatural position of limitless confidence in Christ Jesus, which is really God’s only call for a missionary? If I follow any other method, I depart altogether from the methods prescribed by our Lord— “All authority has been given to Me….Go therefore…” (Matthew 28:18-19).

Post-mortem presence should be A final honorable Indo- Bose’s based on historical facts

Naga political solution? S W hat the Media savvy FNR for 20 years could not achieve with much prayers in the streets, in the open fields, from the soccer matches and with help from Atlanta American Baptists; the NTC has quietly done it in just under a few months to bring 6 of the 8 NNPGs into one ‘Working Committee’.

The Indo-Naga political talk, to be truly ‘Inclusive’ of all stakeholders, must have the two ‘Heavy Weights’, NNC-Adinno and NSCNIM in a single ‘Negotiating Table’. NSCN-IM is already in the Talk separately with the GoI. The NNC-Adinno has not joined the Talk and likely may not join any negotiation with PreConditions.

This is a serious point.

Of all the rights for a people wanting to be free from outside control, the peaceful democratic expression like the World saw in Catalonia Referendum of Spain a Week ago, is very important.

The Catalonians did for the first time in 2017 of their entire over one century of political History, a Referendum the other week.

The primitive Naga did their democratic Plebiscite peaceably some 66 years ago in the year 1951, it is the capstone of their national stand and they would not like to abandon it. People may ignore a minor party in a Government formation, but politics cannot ignore an institution of a society big or small. The Naga has nurtured the NNC into an Institution rather than into a political party. NNC is an institution like Putu Menden or the Morung System of the People.

The IM started their Indo-IM talk with what they said was “without preconditions” but over the period of 20 years Talk, they now have slid down the level “after understanding each others difficulties” with the GoI! The formation of a single ‘Working Committee’ of the six ‘Light Heavy Weight’ NNPGs is a significant achievement of the NTC. Now, Nagaland Government, and the casual Public and the Local Media would take notice of the NTC since it appears to have gained some confidence of the Prime Minister of India.

Another important collateral development of the talk is what Mr. Ravi said he has nudged the talk from the MHA to the PMO. This is a very positive indication of the GoI appearing seriously involved in the TALK; it has shortened the commu-

nication space between the parties.

Modi may not carry as much clout and obedience as Jawaharlal Nehru had on the Indian Parliament, still Modi has a great clout on the Bharat population and a very comfortable majority of MPs in the Lok Sabha with Tikka in their forehead than those without!

There is an important morality revelation in the highest echelon of the Government of India today that India is becoming a growing World Power to recon with and has now begun to feel embarrassed at its inability to settle the ‘Naga Problem’ for the last so many decades.

India has a great Moral responsibility to settle the Naga Issue democratically in Peace without joust of Arms. The way a great Nation treats a small people indicates the level of moral standard it has attained.

India has to recognize the ‘Naga Problem’ deeply.

Unlike Kashmir, the Naga case is not of secession.

The Naga case is a Statement of the democratic Right of a simple People in a remote unknown fringe of the Country; even the colonial Power in India did not know them clearly belong to the Country. Jawaharlal Nehru acknowledged this in his statement to the Indian Parliament at the passing of the Nagaland Act in 1962.

The Nagaland opposes outside interference of their land since 1882, first with Spears and Daohs, then in 1929 for the first time turned their Daohs and Spears into Ploughshares and started using the Pencil and Pen for their political Movement.

The Naga then took the cue of INDIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS’S fight for Freedom from the colonial Power, and instituted NAGA NATIONAL COUNCIL in 1946. The NNC entered into a 9-Point Agreement India did not follow through after giving Signed statements to the adherence of the Agreement.

The NNC refused participation in the Constituent Assembly, declared itself outside Indian Union on 14 August 1947, organized peaceful democratic Plebiscite in 1951 for a separate life, refused participation of Independent India’s First and Second General Election in 1952 and 1957.

The GoI then amalgamated of Naga Areas of Naga Hills District with Tuensang area of Northeast Frontier Agency into a single Administrative Unit of NHTA. In 1963 India formally made

NHTA a State of Nagaland with uncommon special Constitutional Safeguard for the State of Nagaland not extended to other Naga.

The Naga are only a small minority of Arunachal Pradesh, in Assam they constitute a minute population, in Manipur the Naga is a small Minority in the midst of a minority tribals.

The indigenous Naga in Nagaland completely dominate the whole population of Nagaland State. They own all the land in the State, -not the Government nor any autonomous Body. How can the People of another State decide the Political matters of Nagaland State?

That would be a complete negation of the universal Democratic principle of the World.

India often appears does not know how to solve the Naga Problem. It is completely undemocratic for India to allow the People of another State to decide the future of Nagaland State.

Let Gover nment of India give whatever Rehabilitation it decides to the IM Cadres. Nagaland has nothing to say if the GoI gives a Regiment to the IM but Nagaland will not accept outside interference in the Politics of Nagaland.

The NSCN rejected NNC and formed a separate New Organization in 1980, and carried on Armed Struggle for the Sovereignty of the Naga Inhabited Area of the Northeast States.

India entered into a Ceasefire with the NSCN in 1997 not on democratic principle but on the strength of Fire-Power the IM possessed, and started a political Talk only with them. Since then they have now entered into a 3rd August 2015 Accord and are continuing it in Secret TALK. With pressure from the Nagaland Public and with arrangement from the NTC, the six Splinter Groups –4 of NNC, 2 of NSCN- congregated in a Working Committee for the solution of the Naga Problem with the GoI, under the latter’s program of ‘Inclusiveness of all Stakeholders’ for the Final honorable Solution of the Naga Political Issue.

1. The Participants need to concoct strong Solutions to remove umpteen numbers of obstacles on the Way. 2. How to resolve and amalgamate the Joint-Separate-Inclusive Talk NNCAdinno has declined to join a pre-conditioned negotiation?

ome individuals, groups and organisations still insist that Subhas Chandra Bose had visited their natal villages without offering us any historical proof.

They should not do so by distorting history, particularly the where about of Bose during the Battle of Kohima by conjuring imaginary stories about him saying that ‘Bose stayed in this house, slept in this place, camped under bamboo grooves, carrying Bomb on each side of hip, wearing Gumboot, etc. Instead claims about Bose’s presence during the Second World War should be based solely on historical facts.

It was sometime on 15th March 1944, when the 31st Division of the Japanese under the Command of Lieutenant General Kotuku Sato left Homalin (a town located at the westbank of river Chindwin, some 200 miles on the ground and 75 miles as the crow flew from Kohima ) and reached Kohima on the 4th of April 1944, (KOHIMA, Arthur Swinson, page 8).

By then Subhas Bose was all along in Rangoon and reached Mamyo (a small town located at 25 miles east of Mandalay , 220 miles south east of Homalin and more than 420 miles or about 30 days walk from Kohima ) only on 7th April 1944, and remained there till 16th April before he left for the ‘frontiers’. By the Third week of May 1944, he returned to Mamyo from the frontier and shifted his headquarter to Rangoon again on 21st May 1944, because he was finding it increasingly difficult to get accurate news from the front (His Majesty’s opponent by Sugata Bose, page 273,275 and 277).

From the above movement it is understood that Subhas Bose was in the ‘frontiers ‘ for about a month or so from the third week of April to the third week of May 1944. Around that time, Yamauchi’s 15th division and the Bahadur group of INA commanded by Shaukat Ali Malik were very well advancing towards Imphal.

Imphal being closer to Mamyo than Kohima for a hundred miles or so, moreover, Imphal became the main destination of the INA after the failed campaign in Arakan and Chin Hills. (His Majesty’s opponent’

by Sugata Bose, Page 275) Bose was believed to be somewhere near Imphal or for that matter near the Manipur state, awaiting for the fall of Imphal, so that he could address the nation directly from the soil of India over the Radio and expect ‘flood of defection’ and become the non-violent soldier of freedom inside the country even though they fought with arms outside India.

Meanwhile, the Japanese hope the news of the fall of Imphal could be presented as a gift to Emperor Hirohito, whose birthday fell on April 29, (His Majesty’s opponent’

by Sujata Bose, page 275, 283).

However, because of the direct intervention of the Admiral Mountbatten, Supreme Commander of South East Command, taking over of Imphal was delayed which compelled Bose to return to Mamyo and subsequently Imphal was saved.

In the meantime the 31st division under General Sato that entered Naga hills and reached

Transition of Nagas from hard working culture to a dependent economy (From previous issue) Our beautiful Nagaland state is the creation of God which transformed from animistic religion to Christianity. By virtue of being Christ believers we are blessed with physical as well as in spiritual entity with rich natural resources, awesome flora and fauna all over Nagaland. Many Naga leaders both over ground and underground had died as martyrs protecting our supreme nation.

Nagas are not destined to be ruled by others but by ourselves choosing and selecting our own path. If Nagas want to succeed as an independent nation, we must first work hard and become economically self sufficient and independent economy. Our state must be the producing state instead

of consuming state in order to flourish our economy to a pristine glory and to live as an independent nation with independent economy.

Nagaland is witnessing on a large scale influx of immigrants and the flooding of plain people to our state.

Despite having the policy of Inner Line Permit (ILP) the non Nagas traders control huge economy in our own soil and becoming ourselves an employee of the mainland Indians and non locals as an employers in business establishment.

This could probably be checked only if we venture out something new and become adaptable to it by starting our own business venture and at the same time employing non locals(if necessary). Let Nagas also build a vibrant

economy by taking up the construction work of a building which were being done mainly by the non local workers. This could provide job opportunity to our Naga educated unemployed youth and also preventing further damage from being draining of our wealth outside state. We need to protect and preserve our economy in order to become an independent economy through hardworking and dedication. I’m not against non locals or plainsmen but these are my concerns for a sick and stagnated Naga society at present scenario.

In every nook and corner of our state Nagas are less visibility in terms of doing business by mainly confining the younger generation indoors and hunting for government job only.

To sum up; if nagas want to become a self sufficient economy and self reliant for sustainable livelihood then we should take up the job with dignity and integrity.

Our dreams should not only be limited of buying a plot of land and building a palatial building on it but building a vibrant nation state is vital point for our peaceful existence on earth without fear and segregation from the rest of the world and by giving the best quality of education, health, waiver loan, schemes, policies, good sports facilities etc in order to match other industrialised nations in the world in terms of infrastructure and quality living.

Kohima from three directions did not include any of the regiment or division of INA, particularly the Northern and Centre columns; Laruri -Meluri - Phek - ChazoubaMeriama - Zubza, and Jessami - Chizami - Kikrüma- ChakhabamaKohima, respectively. It was only in the middle of May 1944, the Subhas Brigade of INA, commanded

by Shah Nawaz Khan, followed the route of Southern Column of the 31st Division commanded by Major General Miyazaki; UkhrulMao Gate - Viswema-Kohima, and reached nearby Kohima but nothing was recorded or reported about their direct confrontation with the British Indian Army in and around Kohima (‘KOHIMA’ Arthur Swinson, page 1-17) On 21st Oct 1943, Bose declared the formation of Provisional Government of Azad Hind in Singapore and became the Head of the State, the Prime Minister, in Charge of War and Foreign Affairs and the Supreme Commander of the INA (Subash Chandra Bose, what Netaji did, what Netaji said, the Nationalist and the Commander. Edited by Vinitha Ramchadani, page 100).

Subhas Chandra Bose, holding such high responsible positions was not expected to be in a remote, hostile and vulnerable land that is also alone amidst the strange and alien environment and an army of a different nation (Japan) surrounded by the people and villages where there hardly existed any anti-British feeling. Rather by then Kohima District of Assam and its people were very homely with the British government, particularly, with the District administrator, C.R.Pawsey.

Moreover, the geographical distance between Kohima and Mymyo of Burma does not permit Subhas Bose to be near the Battle of Kohima during the Second World War. Beside this piece of historical evidence, I have already established in my previous articles in the same subject published in local dailies; Nagaland Post on 22.4.2017, Nagaland Page on 22.4.2017, Eastern Mirror on 21.4.2017, 19.5.17, 9.6.2017, and Morung Express on 21.4.2017, 20.5.2017 drawing in historical facts that Subhas Bose was nowhere near the Naga Hills district of Assam during the Second World War. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression and can write a tale or story in any form or write books basing on the tale or story told by knaves. But it should not be interpreted as historical facts or events.

If, however, anyone can prove me wrong and show me the historical evidence but not imaginative stories, I would certainly be happy to reconsider my position, after all, that is what scholarly writing is all about.

Therefore, until such evidence is present, I expect and wish the literati, intellectuals and thinkers like Mr. Thepfulhouvi Solo, who cherish the age-old Naga values of Truth and Honesty to come forward in preventing those elements from distorting the Naga History.

Otherwise, one day it may come to shame us all.

Appeal to power department, Nagaland Sir,

The Tesophenyu Group Students’ Union (TGSU) seek the benign attention and action of power department, Nagaland for timely restoration of 1600 KVA at the sub- distribution point in Tesophenyu village. It is irresponsible and regrettable to note that the citizens of Tesophenyu group under Tseminyu sub-division and the Wozhuro Range under Wokha district have been deprived of power for the past 20 days which has caused immense hardships to the local populace.

In addition, it is always the students community at the receiving end for they are in the middle of preparation for appearing board exams and selection exams in progress.

In the light of the compelling and pervasive situations, we as the guardian and defender of students welfare appeal concerned esteem authority for immediate restoration of power transformer.

Centre withdraws force from Darjeeling

SC allows Centre to withdraw force from trouble-hit Darjeeling and Kalimpong districts.

NEW DELHI, Oct 27 (Agencies): The Supreme Court on Friday permitted the Centre to withdraw seven of the 15 companies of Central Armed Paramilitary Forces (CAPF) from strife-torn Darjeeling and Kalimpong districts of West Bengal for deployment in poll-bound states of Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat.

Observing that law and order was a “state subject”, a bench headed

by Chief Justice Dipak Misra stayed the Calcutta high court order restraining the Centre from relocating the paramilitary forces from the state’s strife-torn

districts and asked the state government to respond to the Centre’s appeal within a week.

The high court had asked the Centre to allow all 15 companies of paramilitary forces to remain in the state.

The bench, which also comprised Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud, said it would examine “under which jurisdiction, the high court can ask central government to provide or not to provide security forces”.

“We will issue notice (to West Bengal government) let them file the reply. Meanwhile, we will

stay the high court proceedings,” the bench said, adding that it would examine the entire issue in a “holistic” manner.

It said constitutional courts cannot remain “oblivious” to danger to lives of citizens as they are “at the zenith of pyramid” and there has to be some kind of arrangement to protect the lives of citizens.

Additional solicitor general Maninder Singh, appearing for the Centre, said the government also takes decision in the interest of citizens to protect them.

The law officer said if all the high courts start ordering the Centre on deployment of forces, then a difficult situation would arise.

The bench, which posted the appeal of the Centre against the high court order for further hearing on November 27, said the interim order allowing withdrawal of seven companies of paramilitary force would remain in force

till final adjudication of the case.

The apex court, on October 25, had agreed to hear the Centre’s plea challenging the High Court order on withdrawal of security forces.

The Calcutta high court had stayed the withdrawal of Central Armed P a r a m i l i t a r y Fo r c e s (CAPF) from the Darjeeling hills, the scene of unrest over the statehood demand, till October 27 after the state government approached it opposing the Centre’s decision.

It has been said that the Centre needed to deploy forces in the pollbound states of Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh.

Some forces also needed to be deployed along the borders of Jammu and Kashmir and in the northeastern states, it had said.

The high court had on July 14 directed the Centre to deploy four more companies of CAPF in addition to the 11 that were already present in the hills then.

TR govt, a legitimate govt: Rio-led NPF youth wing

DIMAPUR, OCT 27 (NPN): Central youth wing of the Rio-led NPF has claimed that the present government headed by chief minister, TR Zeliang, was a legitimate and constitutional government, which it said was formed by securing the “highest mark in the history of the floor test examination in Nagaland so far.”

In a press release, the press & information cell of the youth wing said that every formation of government irrespective of Centre or the state government was done through the democratic procedure called floor test whenever there was crisis within the house.

Constitutionally, it said floor test was one of the highest political examinations in the country pertaining to the election of the chief minister or leader of the house. “This is the truth and the tenets of democratic constitution

of India,” press & information cell stated.

However, it said the “loser minority NPF Legislatures and their followers comically” refused to accept the constitutional floor test defeat due to “their ignorance about constitutional knowledge and its democratic process” taking place in the country.

It described as “very unfortunate” that the “NPF minority group” after deep frustration and depression has resorted to “political terrorism” in Nagaland by threatening and accusing governor, NLA speaker Dr. Imtiwapang and commissioner & secretary Benjamin Newmai and issuing warnings and intimidation to some of the NPF majority group leaders and their family members.

It stated that “such terrorist activities” were not permissible in a democratic country like India and peaceful state Na-

galand.

Further, the press & information cell stated that “NPF Minority group is gracefully sitting in front of the New Secretariat, Kohima to show their presence and solidarity to the T.R.Zeliang NPF led DAN government for the past three days.”

Stating that it fully acknowledged their presence and showing respect and honor to the chief minister, ministers, parliamentary secretaries and party leaders, the press & information cell asked them to continue even in the coming days to show their courtesy and respect.

“This is the true spirit and the key sign of reconciliation for the NPF party,” it stated.

Meanwhile, the press & information cell has appealed to the rival group to join the “NPF majority house” before the gate was closed, adding “better late than never.”

The plea is listed for hearing before a bench comprising Justices A K Sikri and Ashok Bhushan.

Senior advocate and member of parliament Kalyan Banerjee said the petition was filed earlier and would come up for hearing before the bench on October 30.

He said that West Bengal government has challenged the provision which said that without Aadhaar, the benefits of social welfare schemes would not be extended.

On October 25, the Centre had told the top court that the deadline for mandatory linking of Aadhaar to avail benefits of various government schemes has been extended till March 31 next year for those who do not have the 12-digit biometric identification number.

Attorney General K K Venugopal had told a bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra that the deadline extension from December end this year till March 31, 2018, would apply only to those who do not have Aadhaar and are willing to enrol for it.

However, Venugopal had told the bench that he would take instructions on certain issues on Aadhaar after which the court had asked him to mention the matter again on October 30.

dence as the only thing was to check the office record whether the members had defied the whip. Yitachu said that since TR Zeliang cannot fool the court he declared in the affidavit that “whip was appointed by party”. However, Yitachu said that outside the court the rival camp members were continuously fooling the people, saying their time was getting over.

The spokesperson also affirmed that the protest would continue so that all the pending issues would be taken to conclusion. Also, speaking at the protest site, the NPF central spokesperson, Achumbemo Kikon, said the senior lawyer whom the dissidents had sought

On the allegation against the Governor and the state government of running an “unconstitutional” government, Tokheho said there was not a single government in the country being run without following the Constitution.

He said the repeated claims-- that the government headed by TR Zeliang would fall on September 21 and/or October 25, were all misleading and ignorant statements.

“The people are the best judge as to whether there is a Government in Nagaland or not contrary to the predictions of Dr. Shürhozelie’s group,” he added.

Kikon said the dissidents’ challenge on the existence of the NPF party was to escape from disqualification. Stating that the delay of hearing was pricking the conscious of the Nagas, the NPF spokesperson, however, assured that everything would be settled in time.

The spokesperson also denounced “inaction” of NLA speaker by not acting as per the NLA rules and the constitution of India, which the speaker ought to follow.

He said NLA speaker woke up from his deep slumber lately and only after the party agitated he started to summon the MLAs. He also assured that nothing would happen to the MLAs.

other modes to complete the process of linking mobile numbers with the 12 digit biometric identifier.

Telecom operators have been asked to submit to UIDAI by November 15 a blueprint of the process to operationalise the new modes (including OTP) of SIM re-verification through Aadhaar.

The government has initiated a series of measures to simplify Aadhaar-based re-verification of existing subscribers.

While the authentication of mobile phone number with Aadhaar, a process called re-verification, by visiting stores of telecom firms will continue, the government has also ordered the companies to carry out the exercise at the doorsteps of the disabled, chronically ill and senior citizens.

The mobile numbers can also be linked with Aadhaar through OTP (one time password), app or IVRS facility.

New Delhi, Oct 27 (Agencies): The Telecom Department and Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) may soon come out with a decision on SIM verification method for NRIs and foreign tourists who are not eligible for Aadhaar.

Telecom Secretary Aruna Sundararajan has said that the decision on nonAadhaar SIM verification method for NRIs and foreign tourists may likely be taken in two to three weeks.

However those who have Aadhaar or are entitled to get it will have to verify their SIMs with their Aadhaar, she said. One such way for NRIs and foreign tourists could be authentication through passport, but no decision has been taken yet on the matter, she added.

The SIM card verification process through Aadhaar-based authentication has been simplified this week with the government allowing OTP and

float in the financial systems by enabling ‘just in time’ releases and also the government borrowings with direct impact on interest costs to the government.

The Finance Minister said that with the use of PFMS, there will not be much paperwork and it would go a long way in monitoring and tracking of any unnecessary parking of funds by the implementing agencies and thereby minimise the cases of delay and pending payments to a large extent.

He hoped that soon PFMS will progress towards a government-wide Integrated Financial Management System (GIFMIS) - as a comprehensive payment, receipt and accounting system. Earlier in his address, Finance Secretary Ashok Lavasa said PFMS would not only help in complete tracking of funds but would also ensure in-time transfer of funds.

“Due to the monitoring of funds through PFMS, one can know the actual status of utilisation of funds by the multiple implementing agencies of the central and the state governments.

The ultimate purpose of implementing any scheme is to ensure that the benefits much reach to the last mile,” he said, while addressing senior officers of the Finance and other ministries after launching the mandatory use of the PFMS.

Chinese President orders PLA to be combat-ready

Chinese President Xi Jinping not succeed as other groups in the party headed by former leaders pressed for status quo to include their nominees in the highestranking body bringing it a semblance of balance in power equations.

In the last night’s meeting of top military officials, some high-ranking officials were conspicuously absent, Hong- Kong based South China Morning Post reported.

It appeared from the state-run CCTV report that two top generals, the former chief of general staff General Fang Fenghui and director of the political work department, General Zhang Yang were absent.

Both Fang and Zhang were CMC members in Xi’s first term, but they were left off the list of PLA delegates to this month’s party Congress. Earlier the two Generals were taken away on the same day last month as part of a corruption investigation, the Post report said.

Meeting top military officials, he ordered them to be absolutely loyal to the party, to focus on how to win in wars, to pioneer reforms and innovation, to scientifically manage

New York, Oct 27 (IANS): The uptick Amazon shares registered on Wall Street this Friday has directly affected the fortune of its founder, Jeff Bezos, who immediately replaced Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates as the richest person in the world.

Two hours after the stock market opened on Friday, Amazon shares were up 11.9 per cent, on the first day since it announced its third quarter results at the close of trading on Thursday.

Microsoft shares had climbed close to 7 per cent at the same time, also as a result of its third quarter earnings announced on Thursday at Wall Street’s closing bell.

But according to Forbes magazine, which closely follows the world’s greatest personal fortunes, taking into account, among other aspects, the value of their stock market assets, Bezos surpassed Gates on Friday as the richest person in the world.

the “marvellous democracy, with all the checks and balances” of Australia.

Joyce, like his mother, was born in Tamworth, New South Wales.

However, the politician’s father was born in New Zealand and immigrated to Australia in 1947 as a British citizen, one year before the concept of Australian citizenship was established. Because of his paternal origin, the politician inherited New Zealand citizenship.

As a result of the ruling, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s government will have to negotiate with the three independent parliamentarians to retain its majority in the Lower House, at least until the byelection which is expected to be held next year.

Bill Shorten, leader of the main opposition Labor Party, called for Turnbull’s resignation for his “terrible judgment”. “Joyce broke the law and as a result, we now have a minority government,” Shorten tweeted.

The High Court of Australia’s ruling means Joyce, Nationals leader Fiona Nash and One Nation’s Malcolm Roberts were disqualified from office, reports the BBC. The Greens’ Larissa Waters and Scott Ludlam had already resigned from the Senate in July.

Joyce is an Australian who also held New Zealand nationality when elected, a citizenship he later renounced.

The ruling also means the ruling National Party loses its majority in the House.

NEW DELHI, OCT 27 (IANS): Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni will make a day-long visit to India on October 30, the first such visit in over a decade, a period that saw bilateral ties touch a low after the arrest of two Italian Marines.

Romano Prodi was the last Italian Prime Minister to visit India in February 2007. “Coming after a gap of more than a decade, the visit is aimed at strengthening bilateral, political and economic relations between the two countries,” the External Affairs Ministry said in a statement.

Diplomatic ties between India and Italy virtually came to a freeze following the February 2012 incident when two Italian marines, Latorre Massimiliano and Salvatore Girone, on board M.V. Enrica Lexie allegedly shot dead two Indian fishermen off Kerala.

India took the Marines into custody but Italy claimed the ship was in international waters.

After first refusing to hand over the Marines, in September 2014 Latorre was allowed to return to Italy following an apex court order on health grounds.

In May 2016, Girone too was allowed to return.

Both the Marines are now in

He also told the officers to strengthen party-building within the military and to continue to intensify combat-ready training and exercises, to keep carrying out reforms in the national defence system and the military, and to carefully consider strategic issues concerning the PLA’s future development, the official media here reported.

Defence ministry spokesman Ren Guoqiang said on Thursday that Xi’s plan to strengthen the military would be fully implemented and his authority would be upheld. Xi asked the PLA officers to learn and implement the spirit of the just-concluded 19th CPC National Congress by following the road of building a strong army with Chinese characteristics and promoting the modernisation of national defence and the army.

“We should strive to fully transform the people’s armed forces into a worldclass military by the mid21st century,” Xi said.

ISLAMABAD, OCT 27 (IANS): Pakistan on Friday opposed the sale of US drone system to India, raising concerns that the move can potentially disrupt the balance of power in the region. “International powers must show responsibility before signing such agreements,” said Pakistan Foreign Office spokesman Nafees Zakaria in his weekly press briefing.

Zakaria said Pakistan and the US wished to strengthen relations but this should be based on better understanding of each other’s concerns. “During US Secretary Rex Tillerson’s visit to (Pakistan) and talks with the Prime Minister, bilateral and regional issues were discussed,” he said.

“He was informed about Pakistan’s counter-terrorism operations and successes on which Tillerson acknowledged the country’s contribution and sacrifices in the fight against terrorists and the country’s strategic and economic importance in the region,” he added.

BEIJING, OCT 27 (AGENCIES): Chinese President Xi Jinping has begun his second five-year term ordering the country’s 2.3 million-strong military, the world’s largest, to be absolutely loyal to the ruling Communist Party and intensify its combat readiness by focussing on how to win wars.

The once-in-a-fiveyear Congress of the Communist Party endorsed Xi’s leadership of the party, the military and the presidency this week and approved his ideology to be written into its Constitution, elevating him on par with modern China’s founder Chairman Mao Zedong and his successor Deng Xiaoping.

Xi, 67, began his second tenure on Thursday by holding a meeting of top military officials, regarded as a main source of power base.

Xi, who heads the powerful Central Military Commission (CMC) the overall high command of Chinese military, is the only civilian leader in the body which is otherwise packed with top most officials of the armed forces.

The new CMC lineup which was unveiled on Wednesday will be led by a group of seven, down from the 11 members who headed its operations before.

Earlier reports said Xi, who consolidated his power in the last five years with a massive anti-corruption campaign in which over a million officials were punished wanted to shrink the Standing Committee of the party to five from seven.

Swiss great Hingis announces retirement Singapore, Oct 27 (Agencies): Swiss great Martina Hingis has announced she will retire from tennis at the end of this week’s WTA Finals, where the 37-year-old multiple grand slam champion is playing in the doubles tournament alongside Taiwan’s Chan Yung-jan.

“Looking back now, it’s hard to believe that almost exactly 23 years ago I made my professional debut,” Hingis said on Facebook on Thursday.

The retirement will be Hingis’s third in a long and illustrious career during which she claimed 25 grand slam titles since her WTA Tour debut in 1994, five in singles, seven in mixed doubles and 13 in women’s doubles.

Hingis first decided to end her career

as a 22-year-old in 2003 due to persistent injuries after picking up all five of her singles crowns as a teenager, comprising three Australian Opens, as well as lone Wimbledon and U.S. Open titles from 1997-99.

The Swiss returned to the tour in 2006 and although she found more success in doubles than singles, she retired for a second time a year later after being handed a two-year ban for testing positive for cocaine.

BCCI reforms overzealous, may destroy cricket: Sharad Pawar NEW DELHI, Oct 27 (Agencies): Veteran politician, sports administrator and ex-president of ICC and BCCI, Sharad Pawar, has told the Supreme Court that ‘overzealousness’ in reforming cricket could destroy the game itself and alleged that the Committee of Administrator’s draft BCCI constitution had gone much beyond the Lodha panel’s recommendations.

Presenting his credentials, Pawar said: “The applicant being a veteran cricket administrator has played a pivotal role in developing and shaping cricket administration in the country. He is one of the people who has not only witnessed the rise of the board from its very humble beginnings, but has played a significant role in its development. It was under

his leadership that for the first time pension scheme for former players was introduced and women’s cricket was brought under the board. The world’s most successful tournament IPL was conceptualised during his tenure.”

Pawar’s application, through advocates Neela Gokhale and Kamakshi Mehlwal, said: “Today, the BCCI finds itself in the eye of the storm mainly because it is the richest cricket body in the world, which has further led to a perception that its working lacks transparency and previous litigation involving issues of nepotism and conflict of interest (N Srinivasan-Gurunath Meiyappan case), which acted as a build-up to the present proceedings, have further strengthened the said perception.”

We’ll use the same strategy in the finals with our eyes on the prize! Gujarat coach Manpreet Singh said he is looking forward to an electrifying final. “A strong strategy is the key to success in any sport. And that is a mantra that each team member of the Gujarat For-

We have to now focus on winning the final.”

Sangram clinches silver; bronze for Amanpreet in World Cup Final

Sangram Dahiya

New Delhi, Oct 27 (PTI): Sangram Dahiya and Amanpreet Singh won a silver and a bronze each as hosts India enjoyed a fruitful day in the office on day four of competition in the ISSF World Cup Final here.

Double trap exponent Sangram clinched his firstever senior medal in International Shooting Sport Federation tournament after years of toil, while Amanpreet bagged a well-deserved bronze after scoring 202.2 in the men’s 50m pistol event.

Both shooters were taking part in the prestigious event for the first time.

“I am really happy as the hard training over the past three weeks has paid off,” Sangram said after his effort. Thanks to the two marksman’s medals and the gold in mixed 10m air pistol event by Jitu Rai and Heena Sidhu on the open-

Amanpreet Singh

ing day, India recorded their best-ever showing in the year-ending annual shooting showpiece, where only the year’s top shooters compete.

Shooting alongside Amanpreet, the fancied Jitu, though, failed to impress and was the first to be eliminated at seventh place with a score of 123.2. Both had cleared the qualification hurdle without much fuss.

In the double trap final at the Dr Karni Singh Shooting Ranges, Sangram shot 76 out of 80 targets, three behind gold medallist Hu Binyuan (79) of China.

Italy’s Gasparani Davi (56) took the bronze. Sangram had won a gold medal at the Asian Shooting Championship for junior way back in 2009.

Sangram shot exceedingly well throughout the day, first topping the qualify-

ing with a score of 144 out of 150 and then replicating the showing in the final.

He could not overcome the world record effort of 2008 Olympic bronze medallist Hu Binyuan, who was in sublime form in the final.

India’s world number one double trap shooter Ankur Mittal, who qualified for the six-man final in second position with a score of 139, finished fourth in the final.

He had to leave after managing 45 out of 50 shots. Sangram’s effort, somewhat, made up for the disappointment.

Amanpreet finished behind gold medallist Damir Mikec of Serbia and silver winner Oleh Omelchuk of Ukraine. Damir shot 229.3 and the Ukranian Omelchuk finished with a score of 228 in a thrilling round for the top prize.

According to Hindustan Times, world No. 2 Sindhu dominated the match throughout, except for a brief period in the second game, against her world No. 10 rival Chen Yufei and won 21-14, 21-14 in the quarter-final match.

With head-to-head record of 2-2 going into the last eight clash, Sindhu faced a tricky customer in Chen. But the Chinese could not put up great fight.

HS Prannoy enters quarterfinals

Prannoy, who regained his career-best ranking of World No 12 that he had achieved in June two years ago, took just 31 minutes to see off Vittinghus 21-11 21-12 to set up a clash with 2016 Australian Open finalist Jeon Hyeok-jin of Korea.

“Good win against Vittinghus last night to advance to the Quarterfinals!! Tricky one awaiting later in the evening,” Prannoy tweeted after the match. The Indian had lost to the World No 31 Jeon in the Canada Open in a close match this year.

“We are very happy to win the match today. We were leading 16-8 in the third game but made some simple errors and it was 19all. Somehow we managed to win,” Chirag told PTI.

U-17 WC: Spain, England eye maiden title

Ko l k ata , O c t 2 7 (IANS): England and Spain will have their eyes firmly trained on the history books waiting to christen them as first-time champions of the FIFA U-17 World Cup when the two footballing hotshots renew acquaintances in the hotly-anticipated final here on Saturday.

In the first all-European final of this competition, England, who have never gone beyond the quarterfinals and are looking to emulate the U-20 boys. It was only in May this year that Spain colts, known as La Rojita, pipped England 4-1 on penalties to bag the UEFA U-17 European

Championships in Croatia.

That was the third meeting of the two teams in the final of the European Championships with Spain triumphant in 2007, and the Young Lions exacting revenge three years later.

With Steve Cooper’s side registering a clinical 3-1 victory over three-time champions Brazil in the semi-final here, they became the fourth England youth team to reach a final in the calendar year. In Spain though, they face their sternest test yet.

Santiago Denia’s boys have gone from strength to strength in the tournament and look unrecognisable from the team that lost the first game to Brazil 1-2 in Kochi. After registering two facile wins over Niger and Korea DPR in Group D to qualify for the knockout stages, Spain underlined their title credentials with a strong 2-1 performance against in-form France.

At the heart of their display was skipper Abel Ruiz who led from the front. Scoring six goals in six games, the FC Barcelona youth striker alongwith Valencia’s Ferran Torres, who plays down the right

channel, and Real Madrid’s attacking midfielder Cesar Gelabert form a formidable trio up front for Spain.

England will bank on Liverpool’s Rhian Brewster who is currently the tournament’s leading marksman (7 goals), having scored backto-back hat-tricks against the US and Brazil.
