Abuse of social media platforms TUCT resolves to flush out IBIs from Chumu comes under Supreme Court lens

Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, OCT 5 (NPN): Against the backdrop of assault on a Naga family by some non-Nagas, which served to prove that unabated influx of illegal immigrants posed threats on the social security as well as demography of the state, Tribal Union of Chumukedima Town (TUCT) Thursday at the public rally resolved to deport “Illegal Bangladeshi Immigrants (IBIs)” from Chumukedima area with immediate effect.

During the rally the TUCT also adopted a 10-point resolution.

TUCT made it clear that the public rally, at Saturday Weekly Bazaar complex, Chumukedima town, was not targeted only at a community but to highlight the issue of IBIs. Addressing the gathering, comprised of students in uniforms, representatives from various tribe bodies and a large number of nonNagas from surrounding Chumukedima area, retired bureaucrat and social activist, Khekiye K Sema explained: “This is not a rally against Muslims but a rally against illegal Ban-

Governor greets Khiamniungan, Pochury communities DIMAPUR, OCT 5 (NPN): Nagaland governor, PB Acharya, has extended greetings to the members of the Khiamniungan and Pochury tribes on the occasion of Toskum and Yemshe festivals respectively.

In his message, Acharya said both festivals were marked with people rejoicing the fruit of their hard work and praying for a bountiful harvest. He opined that the festivals should provide opportunities for budding generations and other villagers to display their skills and physical strength. Governor also said that festivals should be a source for building unity.

Acharya called upon all to come together and make the atmosphere conducive in towns and villages for peaceful co-existence and all round development in the state. He also encouraged the two tribes to safeguard and promote their rich culture and traditions through their festivals. Further, the governor reminded both the communities to also appreciate the farmers for their hard work. He expressed hope that the festivals of Toskum and Yemshe bring peace, unity and prosperity to the Khiamniungan and Pochury communities in particular and Nagas in general.

gladeshis”. Sema pointed out that Bangladeshi immigrants were not Indians but illegal foreigners, and therefore “we are saying that they must be deported from our land.”

He further maintained that the state government would do nothing to deport the “illegal immigrants from Bangladesh” since it (government) was rather afraid to displease them as they have been enrolled in the electoral roll. He also slammed the political parties in the state for allegedly “sheltering and protecting the illegal immigrants from Bangladesh” for “vote bank politics” which also posed a threat to state security.

On the same note, Khekiye also put the onus on the village councils and those residing in the villages for allowing “miyas” to reside in the village by providing house and land and cultivate and work for them.

“Let them work, but the biggest sin and dangerous acts being committed by our elder people in the villages, is that they allow IBIs to register in the electoral roll thereby giving them legal status”, Khekiye said.

Khekiye said many express

Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 demonetized notes. (Representational image)

Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, OCT 5 (NPN): Dimapur police on Thursday arrested three non-Nagas and recovered demonetized currency of Rs 500 and Rs. 1000 denomination, worth around Rs 54 lakh from them.

When contacted, Addl. DCP & PRO Dimapur police informed that the accused were arrested during routine police checking near Indisen village, Dimapur when they were

allegedly trying to smuggle the banned notes through Assam.

The modus operandi was to exchange the old notes, where the accused would get Rs. 20 for every 100 rupee, PRO said.

Sources said that the money reportedly belonged to some locals.

Without divulging further details, police said they have launched investigation into the case. The seized items were kept under police custody.

According to figures released recently, a total of Rs 15.28 lakh crore (Rs 8.58 lakh crore in Rs 500 and Rs 6.86 lakh crore in Rs 1,000 denominations) out Rs 15.44 lakh crore returned to the RBI, leaving only Rs 16,000 crore under speculation. Many believe that huge chunks of this unreturned money are lying in Nepal and Bhutan.

There were also reports that banned notes were still being exchanged in neighbouring countries.

As per reports, negotiations between Nepal and India have been stagnant as the RBI was not willing to exchange more than Rs 4,500 per person. Nepal has been insisting to raise this amount to Rs 25,000 for each account.

According to a rough estimate, banned notes worth as much as Rs 3,302 crore are locked in Nepal and Bhutan.

illegal immigrants and once when they were deported, Naga women (married to illegal immigrants) would also have to go along with them.

In such crisis, most of the Nagas would give protection to the illegal immigrants as they would not want their daughters to be deported with them, he said.

However, Khekiye said such crisis could be averted if Nagas stopped giving legal status to illegal immigrants.

He also warned that if the issue was left unchecked, “Nagaland would have an illegal Bangladeshi immigrant as minister in the future.”

Khekiye also urged the tribe bodies to make a resolution to press the state government that Inner Line Permit (ILP) should also be considered as passport by creating a separate department for ILP. He was of the view that since verification process like personal information was needed to get passport, the same procedure should also be applied for ILP. In this regard, he appealed to the village councils to stop issuing any certificates to illegal immigrants.

Khekiye also called upon (Cont’d on p-5)

KIN lauds GoI, NNPGs DIMAPUR, OCT 5 (NPN): Kuki Inpi Nagaland (KIN) has expressed appreciation to the government of India (GoI) and the NNPGs “for holding the first round of political dialogue to resolve the Indo-Naga political issue.” In a press release, KIN president, L Gangte, said it was the desire of all the citizens of Nagaland that every Naga political group be taken on board for talks to bring a permanent political settlement to the long pending Naga political issue. “It is our hope that the GoI will give due consideration and bring the NSCN(K) also to the negotiating table for a complete and permanent solution,” said KIN president.

Further, KIN expressed hope that the ongoing peace talks between the government and the Naga political groups would continue till an amicable settlement was arrived at.

NEW DELHI, OCT 5 (PTI): Uncharitable comments, trolls and aggressive reactions on social media platforms on almost every issue, including judges and judicial proceedings, Thursday came under the scanner of the Supreme Court which expressed concern over it and agreed that regulating them was necessary.

The apex court also disapproved and expressed anguish over a statement made by a senior advocate and former Supreme Court Bar Association President that most of the judges are pro-government.

“They should sit in the Supreme Court to see how the government is hauled up,” a bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud observed. Emphasising the need to regulate social media to restrain people from posting objectionable and abusive posts, senior advocates Fali Nariman and Harish Salve, who are assisting the court as amicus cur-

iae, narrated their own ugly experiences with trolls.

“I have deleted my Twitter account. It was so abusive,” Salve said, adding that once when he was appearing in a case relating to a Christian medical college and the subsequent happenings on his Twitter handle forced him to delete it.

“I have stopped looking at them,” Nariman said, adding that unwarranted comments about almost everything can be found on these platforms.

The bench then said that one of the observations made during the hearing on the Rohingya matters was projected as if an order was delivered and it became a subject matter of debate.

Anything that disrupts free exchange of views between the judges and the arguing lawyers needs to be curbed, Salve said.

The bench also said that there was misuse of social media platforms and people disseminated wrong information even about the court proceedings.

“Earlier the right to privacy could have been infringed by the state only.

Now such things emanate from private parties also,” the bench said.

Pointing out that a newspaper or a media organisation which gets an audio clip, publishes it without taking any responsibility of its authenticity, Salve asked: “does it not amount to infringement of privacy“.

The concept of “my house is my castle” is fast fading due to the intrusion of private players, the bench said. Nariman then said the Indian civil laws were “defective” and unable to handle such incidents. “There was an urgent need to have some kind of regulation,” Salve said. The bench agreed to the suggestion.

Meanwhile, the top court today referred to a constitution bench questions like whether a public functionary or a minister can claim freedom of speech while airing views in a sensitive matter which is under investigation.

NPF Mon division slams Naiba’s statement DIMAPUR, OCT 5 (NPN): NPF Mon division youth wing and women wing have criticized the statement issued by advisor State Lottery, Naiba Konyak for “insulting” the NPF Mon division.

In a joint statement, NPF Mon division youth wing president, Khongwang and women wing president, Minching said that since Naiba Konyak was already expelled from the NPF, he had no right to claim himself as an NPF MLA. While condemning the recent statement made against NPF Mon division president and general secretary, the signa-

tories rather accused Naiba of selling his Assembly Constituency “for his personal gain”.

They said Naiba was the one who had offered to vacate his seat in order to let Dr. Shürhozelie get elected.

They said Naiba’s offer to Dr Shurhozelie Liezietsu was the root cause of the present crisis in the NPF. “He has tarnished the image and unity of NPF in particular and Konyak community in general by defending his corrupted colleague (with) false allegation,” the youth and women wing stated.

CSC constituted to look into NCSA imbroglio DIMAPUR, OCT 5 (NPN): Following the ‘mass casual leave’ of Nagaland Civil Services officials in protest against alleged induction of non-NCS persons to various posts in the government, the state cabinet after its emergency meeting held on Thursday constituted the Cabinet Sub-Committee (CSC) to address the issues raised by the state civil service officers.

The cabinet also held separate meetings with the Nagaland Civil Services Association (NCSA) and Confederation of All Nagaland State Services Employees’ Association (CANSSEA) at the chief minister’s residential office.

According to CMO media cell, the cabinet, after hearing their views, impressed upon the members that the issues raised by the associations should be resolved in accordance with the letter and spirit of the

rules. At the meeting, chief minister, T.R. Zeliang urged upon the members not to resort to unhealthy agitation, saying it was not government or officers alone but the public who would be greatly affected.

“All should be guided by laid down Rules and Regulations, if you feel you are deprived of, then government will look into the matter. The mass casual leave will paralyze the administrations and seriously impact the general public,” Zeliang said.

He said, NCS being the premier service, no party should stick to their stand.

“There should be a room for discussion and amicable solution. NCS or non-NCS officers, both are government officers and neither of the party should be victimized. Government will not violate the laid down rules and assure both the parties that justice will be

delivered,” Zeliang added.

Meanwhile, the Cabinet Sub-Committee would examine all relevant issues relating to promotion/selection to IAS and give its recommendations within a month to the government for resolution of the matter and onward necessary action.

CSC will be headed

by H&FW minister, Imkong L. Imchen as convenor and ministers- Y. Patton, Mmhonlumo Kikon, Neiba Kronu; Home commissioner, Abhishek Singh, Law secretary, Khanrinla Koza and addl. advocate general, K. Sema as members.

NCSA’s stand

Nagaland Civil Services Association has brought to light the issue surrounding the protest in the form of ‘mass casual leave’ by NCS officers.

In a press note, NCSA president, Kevekha Kevin

Zehol, stated that on February 29, 2016 the retirement of an NCS inducted IAS officer created a subsequent vacancy in the state IAS quota. However, NCSA said it was shocked and disappointed at the state government’s unprecedented decision to fill up the vacant post from amongst the non-State Civil Service (SCS) officers.

While stating this, NCSA made known that the association in no way intended to demean the capabilities of officers from other services, but rather appreciate the immense contributions they have made to the state’s progress thus far.

As per the IAS (Recruitment) Rules 1954, NCSA said that non-SCS may be accommodated within the 33.33% of the total strength of the IAS cadre of a state under “special circumstances”, limited to a maximum of 15% of the 33.33%.

He encouraged Khiamniungans to invite other tribes to the festival so as to build better relation and maintain unity among the different Naga tribes. Dr. Nicky said such gesture would promote unity and

Dr. Nicky also advised the youths to remember their roots and asked them not neglect the society but to give back and learn the “joy of giving�.

Delivering the significance of Tsokum festival, joint director of health and family welfare Dr. C Thanghoi, said Tsokum was one of the most important and significant

festivals celebrated by the Khiamniungan tribe to invoke blessing for a rich harvest. He said the festival has immense impact and meaning on the socioreligious life of the Khiamniungans.

Dr. Thanghoi said Tsokum was the festival of dedication to commence the harvest in the jhum field. He said harvested grains from the new jhum field was brought and tasted only after the celebration of Tsokum Sumai.

He said Khiamniungans during the eight days Tsokum celebration perform different rites and rituals. Dr. Thanghoi said Tsokum Sumai marks the beginning of harvest before which no one was allowed to reap and take the newly harvest rice/ food as it was believed that unfavourable events and famine befalls upon the village or the family.

Others who spoke in the celebration include Eastern Nagaland People Union Kohima (ENPUK) president David and advisor (political) to chief minister, S. Shingnyu. Songs and cultural presentations marked Tsokum festival celebration.

IMPHAL, Oct 5: ‘Mera Hou Chongba,’ the only common and one of the oldest festivals of ethnic tribes and communities living in Manipur, was Thursday celebrated with gaiety at various parts of the state.

Chief minister N Biren Singh, art and culture minister L Jayantakumar Singh and titular king of Manipur Leishemba Sanajaoba graced the opening function as the chief guest, president and guest of honour respectively.

Tripartite meet to review creation of 7 districts today Imphal, Oct 5 (PTI): The decision to create seven new districts in Manipur, which led to massive protests and 139day blockade on national highways connecting the state, will be reviewed at a tripartite meeting called by the Union Home Ministry here Friday, an official said.

The representatives of the United Naga Council (UNC), central and state governments will take part in the home ministry meeting.

The United Naga Council (UNC), the apex political organisation of Nagas residing in the hill districts on Manipur, had staged massive protests following the creation of the new districts alleging that such a move would bifurcate the ancestral land of the Nagas.

The organisation had also imposed an economic blockade on NH-2 (Imphal-Dimapur) and NH-37 (Imphal-Jiribam) that serve as lifelines for the landlocked Manipur for 139 days in 2016.

The blockade was withdrawn in March this year after the BJP- led government came to power in Manipur and assured that their demand would be considered, the official said.

Addressing the gathering, the chief minister said, “We need to forgive and forget the past mistakes sincerely to retain the strong fraternal bond between hill and valley people.”

Asserting that there were misunderstandings in the past, Biren said that people need to sideline all these differences so that the development pace can march forward.

Mentioning the importance of Mera Houchongba festival towards strengthening hill-valley unity, Singh hailed titular king Leishemba Sanajaoba

for his efforts in keeping up the tradition of celebrating the festival every year.

Acknowledging the significance of Mera Houchongba, the new government had decided to celebrate the festival in a grand way under its aegis from this year, he added.

Claiming that there has been considerable improvement in hill-valley ties ever since the new government was formed in the state, Singh said that he was moved by the kind gesture and fine hospitality shown to him and his minister during reception ceremonies held at Ukhrul, Kangpokpi, Senapati and Churachandpur.

Singh also informed that he would soon be visiting Tamenglong district by road to look into the inadequacies of the district and review various development works.

He assured that people would witness considerable developmental changes both in hill and valley districts within the next two to three years.

In order to complete the projects within stipulated time, the works minister has been instructed to increase the working hour of officials from eight hours to 14 hours with overtime allowance if necessary, the chief minister informed.

of the constitutional protection bestowed on the tribal people of the state,” Khandu had noted in the letter.

Moreover, he pointed out that Arunachal Pradesh is governed by the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation of 1873, which prohibits all citizens of India from entering the state without an inner line permit.

“A r u n a c h a l i s a predominantly tribal state and the Constitution of India gives special protection rights to the people of the state. These provisions were legislated with the singular objective to protect the tribes of the state from the onslaught of an alien culture and overwhelming influx of non-Arunachalees,” he said.

IAF capable of striking Pak nukes: BS Dhanoa New Delhi, Oct 5 (Agencies): Air force chief Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa on Thursday assured that the force is fully ready to face a two-front war if a situation like that arises. He also said India is prepared to counter any threat from China. “Our capabilities against China are adequate,” he said.

Admitting that there is a shortage of force, the IAF chief said that they have a plan B in place to face any untoward situation.

“We need a strength of 42 squadrons to carry out full spectrum operations, but it doesn’t mean we can’t fight a two-front scenario.

There is a Plan B,” he said while addressing the annual press conference of the IAF ahead of Air Force Day. However, he added that the possibility of a two-front war in the current geopolitical scenario is low, reports Zee News. When asked about the tactical nuclear arsenal of Pakistan, Dhanoa said: “The Air Force has the capability to locate, fix and strike across the border.”

The Air Force chief also said more than assets, the question was what China can and cannot do operating from Tibet against

BS Dhanoa India. He said that Chinese troops are still stationed in the Chumbi valley, of which Doklam is a part,

and hoped that they return soon. Dhanoa said: “We are not in physical face-off but in Chumbi valley their troops are still deployed.

Hope they will withdraw in future after their exercises are over.”

The Air Chief said that during the 70-daylong standoff, there were no air violations. “I take this opportunity to assure the nation of our sacred resolve in defending the sovereignty of our skies,” he added.

Pakistan’s ISI launches ‘Halal dasta’, new killer squad to attack India Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) has allegedly launched a new terror outfit – Halal Dasta, which literally translates into a killer squad. The group consists of members of the banned terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), top Indian intelligence sources told Zee News.

Sources further said that Halal Dasta is operating along with Pakistan Army’s Border Action team or BAT. Their prime purpose of the group is to carry out strikes along the Line of Control (LoC), inflicting damage in Surankot and Poonch districts of Jammu and Kashmir and hurt the Indian Army. ISI officials also held a meeting with top commanders of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen to create a blueprint of the attacks. Jaish-eMohammad chief Syed Salahudeen was also present at the meeting. Last week, at least seven to eight armed BAT members attempted to infiltrate Kupwara in Jammu & Kashmir as Indian troops opened fire on them. Pakistan is now trying to inflict damage on Indian security forces while denying the terror organization’s role in the operation, intelligence sources said. Pakistan has been facing severe criticism for providing a safe haven to militant outfits.

5 CBI questions Lalu for over 7 TUCT resolves to flush out IBIs from Chumu up the responsibility to check the issue. hours in IRCTC hotels case (From p-1) “Let us start a process to solve this national/state

New Delhi, Oct 5 (IANS): The CBI questioned RJD chief Lalu Prasad for over seven hours on Thursday in connection with its ongoing probe into alleged irregularities in the 2006 IRCTC hotels maintenance contract case.

Lalu Prasad, a former Railway Minister, appeared before the agency’s investigators for questioning in the case at the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) headquarters on Lodi Road here around 11.30 a.m.

The CBI has also summoned his son Tejashwi Yadav, a former Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar, in the case. Tejaswi may join the probe on Friday.

“Lalu Prasad was questioned for over seven hours. Our main focus was on allegations against him on which basis the CBI had registered the FIR in the matter,” CBI Spokesperson Abhishek Dayal told IANS. Informed sources said Lalu Prasad faced over 100 questions related to the case.

Asked if the former Bihar Chief Minister will again be summoned for another round of questioning, Dayal said: “We will decide it later.”

The senior Rashtriya Janata Dal leader was accompanied by his daughter and RJD’s Rajya Sabha MP Misa Bharti, who is also under investigation by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case involving shell companies.

On September 26, the CBI issued fresh summons -- the third in a month -- to the RJD chief and his son Tejashwi Yadav in the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation contract case.

The CBI move came after Lalu Prasad and Tejashwi Yadav skipped two earlier summons.

The CBI on July 5 filed a corruption case against Lalu Prasad, his wife Rabri Devi and son Tejashwi Yadav for alleged irregularities in the allotment of contracts for IRCTC hotels in Ranchi and Puri in 2006 to a private firm when the RJD chief was the Railways Minister. The contracts were given to Sujata Hotels, a company owned by Vijay and Vinay Kochhar -- both named in the CBI FIR as accused -- in lieu of bribe in the form of a three-acre commercial plot at a prime location in Bihar’s Patna district, the CBI said.

A preliminary CBI inquiry allegedly found that the said land was sold by the Kochhars to Delight Marketing Company and payment was arranged through Ahluwalia Contractors and its promoter Bikramjeet Singh Ahluwalia, another accused person.

The ED has since questioned Ahluwalia.

Delight Marketing, which bought the property from the Kochhars, was later taken over by Rabri Devi and Tejashwi, alleges the CBI.

the Nagas to carry out an exercise to ensure that illegal immigrants, who were already registered in e-roll in whatever manner, were removed from the e-roll.

He cautioned that unless this was done there would be a serious problem and the younger generation would suffer from “our stupidity”.

Speakers at the rally shared the same opinion that infiltration problem in the state could only be solved with the collective efforts of all the citizens and with inclusion of the Muslim and the Hindu communities.

Also, speaking at the rally, Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) president, Kesosul Christopher Ltu, said that Nagas have no problem with genuine Indians provided they fulfilled ILP regulations.

However, he said the issue of “illegal Bangladeshis” was totally different, adding they were neither invited nor welcomed. He further c r i t i c i z e d g ove r n m e n t a n d i t s machineries for failing to monitor the influx of illegal immigrants in the state.

Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) general secretary, Nribemo Ngullie, reiterated NTC demand that the entire Dimapur be brought under the purview of ILP. CNTC president, Hokiye Yepthomi, blamed the state government for not deporting the illegal Bangladeshi immig rants from Dimapur. He demanded that all trade licences, driving licenses and Aadhaar card issued to those people be checked.

Angami Youth Organization (AYO) president, Neinguvotuo Krose, while pointing out threats posed by the presence of illegal immigrants in Nagaland, called upon the gathering to stop blaming one another but to take

complex problem,” he added.

Western Sumi Hoho (WSH) vice president, Khevishe Achumi, announced that after the end of the 30-day deadline, WSH would direct Western Sumi Youth Front (WSYF) to enforce ILP within its jurisdiction.

It may be mentioned that on September 23, WSH had served ultimatum to the state government demanding that ILP check gate at Chumukedima be brought down to New Field and Dillai check gates within one month.

“We are going to enforce it in our jurisdiction, if the state government allow it or not”, he added.

Also, speaking at the rally, Nagaland Business Association (NBA) general secretary, Dr. Khekugha Murru, demanded investigation into the issuing of trade licences, saying 60 to 70 percent of the trade licences of illegal immigrants were in the name of the Nagas. He also demanded that the contract and supply works awarded to non-Nagas should be cancelled.

Head GB Chumukedima town Kelenguzo Kuotsu, Chumukedima Village Council (CVC) chairman Razouvotuo Chatsu, Chakhroma Public Organization (CPO) president Vichütuolie Mere, Chakhroma Youth Organization (CYO) president Neizetu Keditsu and Western Chakhesang Hoho (WCH) president Vekhosayi Nyekha also addressed the rally.

The rally began with an invocation by pastor SBAC Lhokishe Achumi.

At the end of the rally, after the adoption of the 10-point resolution, the tribal bodies also decided to form a state level body to check the influx of IBIs in the state. The resolution, which was read out by TUCT president, Lhousito Khro, was adopted by show hands of the members attending the rally.

Yashwant Sinha has found an ally in Congress: BJP

New Delhi, Oct 5 (PTI): The BJP Thursday said its veteran leader Yashwant Sinha has become an “unabashed apologist for the corrupt and anti-poor” erstwhile UPA government and found a new ally in the Congress.

It also cited his remarks at the release of a book authored by Congress leader Manish Tewari to claim that it has become clear now from where he is getting all his inputs on economy.

Coming out openly against the former finance minister, BJP spokesperson Anil Baluni said Sinha’s assertion that he was like Bhishma was also an admission that he was on the side of the Kauravas.

“It has become clear today from where he is drawing all his wisdom.

His presence at an event of a Congress leader shows that who are influencing his economics. This is very unfortunate,” he said.

In a retort to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks that some people liked to spread pessimism like Shalya, another ‘Mahabharat’ character, Sinha had said he was like Bhishma and that he would not allow the economy to be “disrobed”. Another BJP spokesperson G V L

Narasimha Rao said Sinha claims to be a “know-all” economist but is conveniently glossing over his own “disastrous performance” as finance minister when he had pledged India’s gold overseas. “He has become an unabashed apologist for the corrupt, inflationary, anti-poor and disastrous economic governance of the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre. He has found a new ally in the Congress to seek his next job. It remains to be seen what a ‘jobless’ Rahul Gandhi can offer to an ever job-seeking Sinha,” Rao said.

New Delhi, Oct 5 (PTI): The Supreme Court Thursday disapproved the alleged statement of former SCBA President and senior advocate Dushyant Dave that many of its judges are “pro-government” and asserted that the top court also takes the government to task.

A bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra was anguished over the statement given to a news channel, besides also expressing concern over the growing trend of posting uncharitable comments, trolls and aggressive reactions on social media platforms on every issue, including judges and judicial proceedings.

“They should sit in the Supreme Court to see how the government is hauled up,” a bench, which also comprised Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud, observed.

“Some member from the Bar commented that the Supreme Court is dominated by pro-government judges.

They should come and sit in the Supreme Court to see how the government is hauled up in favour of citizens’ rights,” the bench said without naming Dave. The apex court also agreed to the suggestions mooted by senior advocates Fali S Nariman and Harish Salve that such incidents on social media needed to be regulated.

The concern of the bench found strong support from the two eminent lawyers, who are assisting the apex court in a matter relating to the comment made by former UP Minister Azam Khan in a highway gangrape case.

Trying a ghost

lmost thirty years after the Bofors scam erupted, the case has been revived after the Supreme Court agreed to revisit the case in the light of a PIL filed by a BJP member Ajay Kumar Agarwal who pleaded for reopening of the case against the Hinduja brothers. Except for the Hinduja brothers, all others also named in the case have died. The Swiss gun proved itself admirably during the Kargil War and received much acclaim for its performance. The amount of bribe in the over Rs.1000 crore purchase was to the tune of Rs.64 crore. The CBI which had been trying the case had discharged Italian Ottavio Quattrochi from the case on the ground that the country had already spent around Rs.250 crore for the investigation and there was no breakthrough since most of the accused had covered the money trail abroad.

Quattrocchi was reportedly close with Sonia and late Rajiv but nothing in the scam tied it to the Gandhis. The Italian fled Delhi in 1993 and after dodging the courts, passed away on July 13, 2013. Similarly, the other principal accused middlemen- Bhatnagar, Win Chaddha and Martin Ardbo also died some years ago. Those who had some role or the other in the Boforgate such as former Prime Ministers - Rajiv Gandhi, V.P. Singh and P.V. Narasimha Rao – are also dead. The BJP had been in power for six years in 1998 and then from 1999 to 2004, but the party had not done anything to show it was as serious in taking the probe to its logical conclusion. By 2004 most of those supposed lined with the handling of the Bofors scam or supposedly involved in the kickback, have died. The only sin of Bofors is that some money was paid and which only lent credence to suspicions of some dubiousness in the ultimate tilt which went in favour of the Swedish gun over the French Soffma gun. Nearly thirty years is a long time and lack of progress in the case only exposes the inherent weakness of both the CBI as well as the judiciary, plagued with red tapism. Of course, the Congress also had its share of interest in ensuring that the case die its natural death rather than raise discomforting questions about the suspicion that late Rajiv had played a role in favouring ‘Q’ in swinging the deal in favour of the Swedish gun manufacturer.

Ironically, the Swedish radio had lighted the spark by claiming that Bofors had admitted to paying bribes to get the contract. The rest is history after Chitra Subramaniam did her own investigation in unraveling a maze of bank accounts and funds stashed in the names of some bogus firms acting as a front for the ultimate beneficiaries of the gun deal. Charges against the Hinduja brothers- Srichand, Gopichand and Prakashchand and Bofors were quashed by the Delhi High Court on May 31, 2005 since the CBI failed to present a water tight case against the accused due to inept handling and after having spent Rs.250 crore. The reopening of the Bofors case may be an academic exercise since all those supposedly principal actors have long since died and it would be impossible to try the case in absentia.

DailyDevotion The Nature of Degeneration Just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned… —Romans 5:12 The Bible does not say that God punished the human race for one man’s sin, but that the nature of sin, namely, my claim to my right to myself, entered into the human race through one man. But it also says that another Man took upon Himself the sin of the human race and put it away— an infinitely more profound revelation (see Hebrews 9:26). The nature of sin is not immorality and wrongdoing, but the nature of self-realization which leads us to say, “I am my own god.” This nature may exhibit itself in proper morality or in improper immorality, but it always has a common basis— my claim to my right to myself.

When our Lord faced either people with all the forces of evil in them, or people who were clean-living, moral, and upright, He paid no attention to the moral degradation of one, nor any attention to the moral attainment of the other.

He looked at something we do not see, namely, the nature of man (see John 2:25).

Sin is something I am born with and cannot touch— only God touches sin through redemption. It is through the Cross of Christ that God redeemed the entire human race from the possibility of damnation through the heredity of sin. God nowhere holds a person responsible for having the heredity of sin, and does not condemn anyone because of it. Condemnation comes when I realize that Jesus Christ came to deliver me from this heredity of sin, and yet I refuse to let Him do so. From that moment I begin to get the seal of damnation. “This is the condemnation [and the critical moment], that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light…”

(John 3:19).

The best education I have ever received was through travel. ~ Lisa Ling

Nagaland Post, Dimapur Friday, October 6, 2017

Who is the head of human government: God or man?

I

s God governing the rulers of this world of ours? Is He shaping the destinies of nations, controlling the course of their governments, and determining the limits of their rule? Has He prescribed the limits of evil-doers, saying, “This far you may come and no farther.”

With all evils happening around us and everywhere else in the world, it would appear as if God has somehow withdrawn from humankind and has left the running of earthly affairs to human government. This is partly because we tend to interpret everything from a very localized and limited standpoint. But from the viewpoint of God who transcends time and space, everything on earth is happening according to His foreordained purposes and timetable. He still remains in personal relation to the whole human race and is the Decider of all national destinies.

T h e B i b l e c l e a r ly teaches that our CreatorGod is the Head of human government. The Old Testament says: “His kingdom

rules over all” (Ps. 103:19).

“He rules forever by his power, his eye watches the nations” (Ps. 66:7); “He rules over the nations” (Ps. 22:28). Similarly, the New Testament also says that the same God still remains the “God of the nations” (Rom. 3:29).

Where does Jesus stand in relation to human government? In His earthly life, Jesus did recognize human government as a legitimate institution entrusted with “power from above,” no matter whether it discharged its office well or badly (John 19:11). Of course, the Roman government failed to deliver justice under pressure from the people and crucified Him on the cross.

But after He rose from the dead, God the Father has given Him “all power in heaven and on earth” (Matt. 28:18) and made Him to be “over all creation … in heaven and on earth, visible or invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities” (Col. 1:16).

That means Jesus is also the Head of human government. Therefore, He is

called “the King of kings “Your descendants will be and the Lord of lords” (1 strangers in a country not Tim. 6:15; Rev. 19:16). their own, and they will Unfortunately, most be enslaved and mistreated nations throughout history for four hundred years.” have chosen to dethrone And this was exactly what God from His rightful place happened: the Jews were in their national affairs. in slavery in Egypt for Though they were given 400 years (round number). their fair share of oppor- Although Egypt’s Pharaoh tunity to rule, they abused made up his mind not to let their power and became self- the Jews go free from under absorbed at his mighty the expense Mazie Nakhro rule, when of everyone God’s preelse.

According to the For nearly 700 years, Bible, God maintains a the Jews enjoyed their polititimetable as to when and cal autonomy in the Promwhat nation would rise ised Land (1400 – 722 B.C.). or fall from power. Even But again and again, they before Israel became a na- rebelled against God. As a tion, God told Abraham, result, He punished them by

giving them over to the nations. Soon after they were conquered by the Assyrians, the prophet Jeremiah predicted that their captivity amongst the nations would last 70 years. And indeed, that came to pass again when God stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, the King of Persia, to issue a royal edict for the Jews to return home in 538 B.C. As for God’s special dealing with the non-Jewish nations, it began with the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, around 600 B.C. and would continue till the Second Coming of Christ on earth sometime in the future.

This, according to Luke, is called “the times of the Gentiles.” Most of the prophecies of Daniel concerning this period have been fulfilled exactly as they were foretold, except those prophecies that are still yet to take place in the last seven years of this period, which is called the Seven-Year Tribulation Period. During this period, the civilized world will create a one-world government with the Anti-

Christ as their leader. But even then, this will occur only because “God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to give the beast their power to rule, until God’s words are fulfilled” (Rev. 17:17).

The hundreds of prophecies which are found in the Old and New Testaments are not so much predictions of what will come to pass, as they are revelations to us of what God has purposed shall come to pass. Thus, all biblical prophecies and human history point to the fact that instead of rulers and nations thwarting God’s purpose, they are unconsciously forwarding it, because He is behind the scenes of every human action.

In short, the God of the Bible is the Supreme Head of all nations. As for the nations, they may conspire together against Him, but He sits on His throne and simply laughs at them (Ps. 2:1-4), because they are only as “dust on a scale” or “a drop in a bucket” before Him (Isa. 40:15).

Post-mortem

The pre-planned drama: Part 1 NCSA’s statement on current agitation

I

ntroduction: I have been requested by the NPF Legislators of the present 12th House to take over the Government in order to save the situation in Nagaland in February, 2017 for the reason which we need not waste time to discuss here. I refused to agree in the first place because I had already retired from the electoral politics in 2012. We are all aware that many organizations did not agree to the decision of the Government to hold ULB elections with 33% reservation for women. In the mean time some people exploited the situation to their advantage and in the process, the mob psychology was charged to an extent of no return. Seeing the dangerous trend of the situation the Legislators kept on requesting me repeatedly that I should take over the Government. Therefore, through proper understanding, I have taken over the Government on 22nd Feb., 2017. By the grace of God, the burning situation in Nagaland subsided earlier than expected. I also did my best and discussed the problems with Hohos, different organizations and also the agitating groups one by one and explained to them that there is no problem which we cannot solve when we meet and share our opinion with positive attitude. I am grateful to all the groups whom I have met and discussed the problem. I believe the positive response from all those organizations had brought normalcy to the State again. I have even paid an official visit to the Chief Minister of Manipur for maintenance of good relationship with neighbors.

The Drama: My term as C.M. was only for six months as per the provision of the Constitution since I was not a member of the House that time and I had no intention to go beyond; but my Legislator friends asked me to go for byeelection so as to allow me to complete the present tenure of the 12th House ending by February, 2018. Some of them had even decided to vacate their seat for me to face bye-election. The Cabinet also took decision that I should go for bye-election in which the present Chief Minister was also one of them. The CEC also had passed resolution that I should go for bye-election. I have, therefore, as per the wish of my colleagues, decided to face bye-election. In the mean time, the Election Commission of India had issued notification for holding of bye-election in Nagaland. Accordingly, the election process started and the model code of conduct became operational. Suddenly and strangely, all the tall leaders (N. Rio/T. R.) including the Governor of Nagaland as well as the Congress Party President turned against me when there was no time for me to withdraw again from the race. The same Legislators who were requesting me to take over the Government four months back had now turned against me. It was a betrayal and a stab from behind by friends whom I have built and protected.

But my adversaries did not stop there, they wanted to finish me before I face the bye-election. Therefore, they have entered into a sacred understanding with BJP and started playing their card. To start with, Mr. T. R. Zeliang had invited the Legislators to his Dimapur residence for dinner on the 7th July, 2017, the day all the Legislators went down to Dimapur to meet the NDA Presidential candidate.

After dinner, all those Legislators who joined the grand dinner were taken away

to Kaziranga by two special buses. (Some of them were certainly not aware of the game) They must have reached Kaziranga by midnight on 7th July, 2017 and on 8th July, Mr. T. R. Zeliang had written to the Governor of Nagaland saying that he had vast majority of the Legislators and he started claiming the Government. He had written the same request for three consecutive day as per Governor’s letter.

(8, 9 & 10) Then, the Governor had written to me on 11th July, 2017 asking me to prove my majority on the floor of the House on or before 15th July, 2017.

I personally met the Governor on 14th evening at Raj Bhavan and told him that I did not table ‘Confidence motion’ or T.R.’s group also did not table ‘No confidence motion’ against me either.

Therefore, in the absence of ‘confidence motion’ or ‘no-confidence motion’ there was no basis on which trial of strength on the floor of the House could be taken up. I told him that it was an internal crisis of the party where Assembly has no role to play. Yet, without any reason, he just insisted me that I should prove my majority. From there I could understand clearly the hidden agenda which people speculated before. I did not argue further.

But the Gauhati High Court of Kohima Bench had stayed the Governor’s order to hold session on 15th July and adjourned the hearing to 17th July, 2017. The case was taken up by the Gauhati High Court of Kohima Bench on the 17th July but reserved the judgment on that day saying that it would be read out by the next day at 2:00 p.m., i.e. 18th July, 2017. On 18th July, it was again delayed by one hour (reason for delay in delivering the verdict was not known but may be a part of the drama). The judgment was read out by 3:00 p.m. on 18th July, 2017. The same evening, the Assembly was summoned to meet the next morning, i.e 19th July, at 9:30 a.m. and notice for which reached me around 7:00 p.m. I have written a letter to the Governor that some of my members were out of station and, therefore, 9:30 a.m. the next morning would be too early and explained that more time would be required. My request felt on deaf ears and the Assembly sat the next morning at 9:30 a.m. without me.

In the Assembly program, they put my name in the program to move the confidence motion which I never did or I have never authorized any one to do that on my behalf. Therefore, no decision could be taken by the House since there was no basis/point to ask Members to vote in the absence of ‘confidence motion’ or ‘no-confidence motion’. The Speaker simply adjourned the House sine die. At around 2:00 p.m. the same day, i.e. 19th July, 2017 my Government was dismissed by the Governor on the ground that I was absent in the House. The same evening Mr. T. R. was sworn-in as Chief Minister by the Governor three and a half hours after the dismissal of my Government.

Everything was done in haste in order to fulfill the hidden agenda. The Governor of Nagaland who is also the constitutional head of the State had gone that far forgetting his moral obligation to uphold the sanctity of the Constitution of India.

When every move was according to their pre-plan, it is now for the Naga people to guess what could be that hidden agenda.

(To be concluded…)

O

n 29th Feb 2016 the retirement of an NCS inducted IAS officer created a subsequent vacancy in the State IAS quota. However, the NCSA was shocked and disappointed at the Government’s unprecedented decision to fill the vacant post from amongst the non SCS (State Civil Service) officers.

While stating this, the NCSA in no way demeans the capabilities of officers from other services but rather appreciates the immense contributions they have made to the state’s progress thus far.

As per the IAS (Recruitment) Rules 1954, non SCS may be accommodated within the 33.33% of the total strength of the IAS cadre of a state under “special circumstances”, limited to a maximum of 15% of the 33.33%. While the NCSA is well aware of the provisions for selection of officers from non SCS to the IAS, the interpretation of rules appears to have become a point of contention and that such a contentious issue should have

been deliberated and resolved instead of unilaterally interpreting it to deny the SCS. The Civil Service Board (CSB) in view of the urgency recommended the above stated vacancy to be filled up from among the “eligible and meritorious SCS (NCS) officers” which was approved by the Hon’ble CM on 30th June 2017. However, on 16th September 2017, this recommendation of the CSB and approval thus given was unceremoniously overturned without a definitive reason.

It may be mentioned that the NCS fraternity spends the larger part of their career manning the remotest and most challenging administrative areas of the State. The eventual induction into the IAS is a career incentive and distinction to look forward to.

Therefore, the unprecedented decision of the Government to do away with one post of IAS, is not only a blow to the morale of the NCS offices, but is being viewed deeply as a mark of betrayal and

disregard.

Even now in October 2017, the vacancy remains unoccupied; an inordinate delay. The NCSA decided to hold an emergency consultative meeting by assembling all its members in the State Capital after its several representations to the Government elicited no response. For an illustrious association like the NCSA to resort to such extreme steps indicates the severe displeasure of the association.

The 3 days consultative meet was to deliberate for maintenance of status quo and ensure that the IAS post is filled up from amongst the NCS since the vacancy arose due to the superannuation of an IAS officer who was inducted from the NCS. The NCSA appreciates the Government for setting up a Cabinet Sub-committee to examine the matter and looks forward to timely recommendation.

Letter to the chief ministers of North East states

Sir,

At the outset, I thank and appreciate the Government of India for providing funds to develop the North East States, and for rigorously trying to bring our States at par with the other States of India under the able-leadership of the North East Region political parties.

However, I as a concern citizen would like to state my grieving observation that, while implementing these centrally sponsored development works in the region, the contractual works are most often bagged by the big national/ multi-national companies pushing away the local/ small companies. These big companies after earmarking their profit; allot subcontracts (under their desired terms and conditions) to different small/ local companies, left without any option they are obliged to accept the terms imposed. These local entrepreneurs though with efficient calibre face these constraints because of the poor economic condition. They carry out the works with marginal profit, eventually compromising the quality of work done. This is a heart -wrenching fact and we are all victims here. The funds provided by the Central Government are intended to develop and uplift the economy of the North East States. However, there can be no denial that the real profit is amassed by the big companies, not only depriving local companies/ entrepreneurs of their rightful work opportunities, but even worse, this has created an unending vicious cycle of compromised work quality, deteriorated economy, and stagnant progress. Therefore, I take this privilege to put forth my earnest concern and make an appeal to our Honorable Chief Ministers of the North East States, to formulate better strategies and appraise the Central Government to be more cautious in allotting the work opportunities for carrying out development works in the North East region. I am confident that your insightful deliberation and conscious decisions will help address this sad reality, and bring about a meaningful change to develop our North East State in the true sense.

Sir,

A realistic view for the world

Unknowing God is the crux of all evils in the world and knowing God is the only solution. The world cannot expect a better world unless a realistic step is taken towards seeking who the true God the Creator of the heavens and the earth is instead of remaining fanatic in superstitious beliefs. If this truth is acknowledged , it is a step towards winning over evils and healing the sickness of the world. If it is denied , it is a denial of justice to God and to mankind. Without taking any new step , good constitution , tight administration , stringent laws , public slogans of condemnation and thousands of resolutions cannot save the people.

Knowing God can transform murderers , robbers , rapists , deceivers , human traffickers , terrorists , thrillers of bomb blast and the like into humanitarian men and women. If knowing God transformed countless men and women into men and women of the light of the world , all men and women in the world too can. The Creator alone can save and heal through keeping the law of relationship with God which is , “KNOW GOD,BELIEVE IN HIM,FEAR HIM AND OBEY HIM”. This is the only way of life and peace in the world.

REJOINDER

The Dimapur Nkonjan Humtso Union and Kohima Humtso Welfare Union are constrained to issue Joint Statement with regard to clarification made by certain GBs and VCMs of Humtso village on 4th Oct 2017 rejecting the 29/9/2017 Resolution of Humtso Village.

The General Meeting of Humtso Village held on 29/9/2017 was attented by representative of the above mentioned two union including Humtso Union Wokha Town. The truth of the meeting is clarified as under.

1. The meeting among other things, deliberated the political scenario of the day, keeping in view the spirit of Clean Election campaign initiated by NBCC. 2. The decision of the meeting issued by Humtso Village Council on 1st Oct 2017 in the media was unanimous and stands valid.

Therefore, press release issued on 4 Oct 2017 by some Village functionaries is very unfortunate and regrettable which is uncalled for.

The two unions, further request the signatories of the clarification published in Nagaland Post on 4/10/17 to settle any issue (if any) internally before going public, as such act will make the matter worse rather than solution.

However, industry estimates place a far larger number of around 125,000 indirect jobs that will be wiped out due to the turbulence being faced by the sector.

“In the larger scheme of things, with the economy slowing down and most industry sectors seeing flat or negative growth, the impact is going to be ‘telling and bloody’, with jobs not being created across sectors, and re-employment becoming a tough task,” an industry analyst told IANS. Besides the sector, the Union government, which has come under criticism from various quarters for slow economic growth and lower-than-expected job creation, will also find it hard to provide substantial alternative opportunities to the unemployed.

Till some time back, the sector was amongst the top five largest employment opportunity generators in the country. It supported direct employment of over 20 lakh in the country during 2015-16.

the sector is less than one,” the RBI note had said.

According to industry observers, telecom companies have no option left but to initiate “severe costcutting” measures -- including downsizing -- to sustain operations.

Facing the axe are between 20,000-25,000 direct jobs, many of which will be due to planned mergers between incumbent players. Mergers alone will lead to over 15,000 job losses as existing portfolios and profiles are duplicated.

As per industry sources, major player Idea Cellular has axed around 1,800 jobs in the lead-up to its planned merger with Vodafone. A further reduction of 5,000-6,000 employees is on the cards as and when the merger fructifies, perhaps next March.

On the other hand, Vodafone has laid-off 1,400 people from its side as part of the merger plans with Idea.

Telecom major Bharti Airtel axed 1,500 people -- predominantly from the sales and retail teams. Duplication of jobs that came with the Telenor buyout also resulted in job losses.

Reliance Communications has also laid off some 1,200 people over the last

pipeline and activate that, it will create 2-2.5 lakh jobs in existing projects,” Goyal said.

He said India has huge investment potential but a change in mindset is required to transform the country.

Goyal said that with sectors like coal, power showing turnaround, it’s the turn of the railways now.

On the need for the country rebranding itself, he said the narrative of India is changing.

“Over the years India was well known for yoga, Ayurveda, cricket or Bollywood. Narrative is changing, Brand India is being built. India is being now recognised as a country which is honest in its dealings, where technology drives growth,” Goyal said.

Stating that megastructures cannot be built on a weak foundation, he said if India has to prepare itself for global challenges of tomorrow, there is a need to develop a framework that will ensure decades of prosperity.

“I think there is no better place in the world today to invest in, no larger market than the Indian market and there is no pole which is going to be more important than India,” he said.

Mumbai, Oct 5 (IANS): Nearly 150,000 direct and indirect jobs in India’s debtridden and loss-making telecom sector face “clear and present danger” of corporate downsizing, as per industry estimates.

At present, the sector is burdened with astronomical debt -- to the tune of nearly Rs 8 lakh crore by some estimates -- and heavy losses due to a slew of freebies which are being doled out by incumbent telecom players to retain their customer base.

The grim reality that the sector faces can be gauged by the comments made by Communications Minister Manoj Sinha at the recently held India Mobile Congress: “The government is aware of the stress in the sector... earlier also we have intervened, and if needed we will do so again.”

“We will make sure that the sector does not die,” said the minister.

In April, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had also cautioned commercial banks about loans given to companies in the telecom sector.

“The telecom sector is reporting stressed financial conditions, and presently interest coverage ratio for

New Delhi, Oct 5 (PTI): Working on various areas across the railway ecosystem in India can create 10 lakh jobs within a year, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said on Thursday.

Monetising the real estate assets as well as fast tracking some of the existing investment plans would generate a lot of employment opportunities in the railways and the ecosystem around it, he said.

“My own sense is, may not be directly jobs in railways, but certainly through engaging people and working in variety of areas across the ecosystem, not less than a million jobs can be created in less than 12 months -only railways and ecosystem around the railways,” Goyal said at the India Economic Summit of the World Economic Forum (WEF).

The gover nment’s moving aggressively on the rail track and safety maintenance programme alone would create 2 lakh jobs, he added.

Besides, leveraging the amount of railway real estate by monetising those assets will help to generate resources without burdening passengers.

New Delhi, Oct 5 (PTI): Reliance Industries chief Mukesh Ambani Thursday emerged as India’s wealthiest for the 10th straight year as his net worth swelled to USD 38 billion (nearly Rs 2.5 lakh crore) while the wealth of 100 richest rose by 26 per cent despite economic hiccups.

Wipro’s Azim Premji was the distant second with a net worth of USD 19 billion, moving up two places from last year, while Sun Pharma’s Dilip Shanghvi slipped from his earlier second place to the ninth now (USD 12.1 billion) on Forbes magazine’s annual ‘India Rich List 2017’.

Forbes said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “economic experiments” barely affected India’s billionaires while none gained more than oil-and-gas tycoon Mukesh Ambani, who cemented his decade-long hold on the top slot by adding a staggering USD 15.3 billion (67 per cent) to his last year’s wealth to become one of Asia’s top five richest.

Anil Ambani, Mukesh’s younger brother, was ranked much lower at 45th place with USD 3.15 billion.

He was ranked 32nd in 2016 (USD 3.4 billion) and 29th a year before that.

Patanjali Ayurved’s Acharya Balkrishna, known as a close associate of yoga guru Ramdev, made a big jump from 48th place last year to 19th now with a net

Kazuo Ishiguro wins Nobel Prize in Literature

Stockholm, Oct 5 (IANS): Acclaimed Japanese-born British writer Kazuo Ishiguro was on Thursday named the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature for 2017.

Ishiguro is one of the most celebrated contemporary fiction authors in the English-speaking world, having received four Man Booker Prize nominations, and winning the 1989 award for his novel “The Remains of the Day”.

The Swedish Academy hailed Ishiguro for his “novels of great emotional force” in which he has “uncovered the abyss beneath the illusory sense of connection with the world”.

Ishiguro was born in Japan in 1954 and his family moved to the United Kingdom when he was just five-years-old. Ishiguro obtained his bachelor’s degree

Kazuo Ishiguro

from the University of Kent in 1978 and his Master’s from the University of East Anglia’s creative writing course in 1980.

Memory, time and self delusion are some of the constant themes in his literar y works. Kazuo Ishiguro has written eight books, as well as scripts for film and television.

With the dystopian work “Never Let Me Go”

(2005), Ishiguro introduced a cold undercurrent of science fiction into his work.

Ishiguro’s latest novel, “The Buried Giant” (2015) explores how memory relates to oblivion, history to the present, and fantasy to reality.

He was chosen from diverse proposals made by literary stalwarts and former Nobel laureates from across the globe.

An assembly of 18 Swedes, the Academy members are elected by secret ballot to their roles and hold them for life.

For the eventual winner to be decided, it is mandatory for more than half of the academy’s members to vote in his/her favour.

The Swedish Academy had received and approved 240 proposals for this year and 195 candidates were nominated.

London, Oct 5 (Agencies): Spain’s Constitutional Court has suspended next Monday’s session of the Catalan parliament, in a bid to pre-empt a possible push for independence. The court said such a move would be “a breach of the constitution”.

Earlier Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy warned Catalonia’s regional government against declaring independence after a disputed vote last Sunday.

Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont had indicated that he could make such a declaration at next week’s session, reports BBC news.

The court’s ruling on Thursday upheld a challenge not from the government in Madrid, but by the Socialists’ Party of Catalonia, which opposes secession from Spain. Allowing the regional parliament to meet and declare independence, the court said, would violate the rights of the party’s MPs.

last stronghold in northern Iraq, the military said on Thursday, leaving the militant group holed up in pockets of land by the Syrian border, across which its selfproclaimed “caliphate” once stretched.

The town of Hawija and the surrounding areas were captured in an offensive carried out by U.S.backed Iraqi government troops and Iranian-trained and armed Shi`ite paramilitary groups known as Popular Mobilisation.

Some fighting continued to the north and east of the town where the militants were surrounded.

With the fall of Hawija, which lies near the Kurdishheld oil city of Kirkuk, the only area that remains under control of Islamic State in Iraq is a stretch alongside the western border with Syria, where the militant group is also in retreat.

“The army`s 9th ar-

ular Mobilisation liberated Hawija,” said a statement from the joint operations commander, LieutenantGeneral Abdul Ameer Rasheed Yarallah.

State TV showed footage of Iraqi forces putting flags in one of the town`s main squares while Humvees patrolled empty streets littered with car wrecks, houses riddled with bullets and shattered storefronts.

Thick black smoke continued to rise from areas surrounding Hawija, from oil wells torched by the militants to prevent air detection.

The capture of Hawija brings Iraqi forces into direct contact with Kurdish Peshmerga fighters who control Kirkuk, a multi-ethnic region claimed by both Baghdad and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG).

Kirkuk shaped up as a flashpoint last month when the KRG included the city in

agression or confrontations but the federal authority must be imposed in the disputed areas,” Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi told a news conference in Paris, held with French President Emmanuel Macron.

Abadi renewed an offer to jointly administrate Kirkuk with the Peshmerga, but under the authority of the central government. The Kurds took control of Kirkuk in 2014, when the Iraqi army fled in the face of Islamic State`s advance.

Arab and Turkmen communities live alongside a large Kurdish population in Kirkuk, a city claimed by the Kurds for over a century as the “heart of Kurdistan”.

Iraq launched its offensive on Sept. 21 to dislodge Islamic State from the Hawija area, where up to 78,000 people were estimated to be trapped, according to the United Nations.

surrounding it.

They also hold parts of the Syrian side of the border, but the area under their control is shrinking as they retreat in the face of two different sets of hostile forces a U.S.-backed, Kurdish-led coalition and Syrian government troops with foreign Shi`ite militias backed by Iran and Russia.

Islamic State`s crossborder “caliphate” effectively collapsed in July, when U.S.-backed Iraqi forces captured Mosul, the group`s de facto capital in Iraq, in a grueling battle which lasted nine months.

The militants` leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who declared the caliphate from Mosul in mid-2014, released an audio recording last week that indicated he was alive, after several reports he had been killed.

He called on his followers to keep up the fight despite the setbacks.

Haq Kakar confirmed that it was a suicide attack.

Initial probe showed that the blast occurred when a sufi dance called dhamal was going in the premises of the shrine.

No group claimed responsibility for the attack but the Taliban usually target shrines as they consider it un-Islamic.

The local administration declared an emergency at hospitals in Sibbi and Dera Murad Jamali.

We the former Office Bearers of Kohima College Students’ Union (KCSU) know very well that he was the Principal of Kohima College till 8th Oct. 2012 and he was promoted as Additional Director Higher Education Department on 9th Oct. 2012. He was later alleviated as the Director on 1st August 2013. As students or Shri C.Khalong Ao we believe that he will never do such things to the students community in particular. Therefore, the obscurity and wild allegation against the said person should be settled at the earliest with proofs and evidences transparently.

Brighter Tomorrow’s anonymity and obscurity reveal that you have personal vendetta and enmity against the respectable officer. We the former Office Bearers of KCSU appeal to any individual or society to authenticate or verify any issue before publishing in the press media so as not to tarnish the image of any person or an organization in future.

tackling the humanitarian crisis. At the IES, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, who discussed the geopolitical dynamics and the economic initiatives in Asia, raised the issue of ‘One Belt-One Road’, saying China will have to do more if it wants India to join the proposed project.

“If the Chinese really feel that for the overall cred-

ibility and viability of the Belt and Road Initiative they want India to play an active part, they have to do more of a selling job. They have to come and market to us here on why this is actually in our interest,” the former Union minister said.

India skipped the Belt and Road Forum (BRF) in May this year due to its sovereignty concerns over the

CPEC, a flagship project of China’s prestigious Silk Road initiative, officially called One Belt One Road (OBOR).

Differences emerged between the two countries over the USD 50-billion China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) passing through Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) which is part of the China’s mega Belt and Road initiative.

4th NE indigenous music festival to begin today

Imphal Talkies

T

wo-day 4th North East Indigenous Music Festival would begin Friday at IMC hall, Dimapur. The festival would bring together some of the most renowned and upcoming indigenous and folk fusion artistes in the region.

With very less avenues for indigenous musicians to express themselves and take their artistic talents to

a higher level, the festival is solely projected at promoting and encouraging such artistes. The festival is also intended to play as an awareness programme on the changing trend of genres, flexibility of modern technical advancement in the field of music, modernisation of indigenous music and adaption of indigenous musical instruments in modern musical

trends and to empower indigenous musicians and bands of the North East all the while giving them a good platform in a professionally organized event.

The two-day of festival will be scheduled to fit in gaining, sharing of experiences and performance in various ways.

On the first day, a workshop, interaction and jam session for the North

East Artistes will be held from 2 p.m at Abiogenesis Centre, Nuton Bosti.

Another objective of the session will be to form a North East Indigenous Artistes Network so that the unique art forms of the region can be taken to a higher level collectively not only in the region but even in the global scene. Dressed rehearsals would be held at IMC Hall in the evening.

The second day will see a very strong line up at IMC Hall, Dimapur from 5:30 p.m featuring seven renowned artistes and bands from the region. They are: Summersalt - a folk fusion band from Meghalaya who has been featured in the bollywood film Rock On 2, Jambili - a folk fusion band from Assam, Imphal Talkies - a six member folk rock band from Manipur, Atso Chasie : who is a first prize winner at National Classical Guitar Competition ‘AXE POWER 2013’

who will be performing with Choseo Tetseo, Ragamuffins: a folk fusion band from Assam, Jano Nyeka from Nagaland, who’s own original song ‘Aahoh’ won the award for the Best Folk Fusion at India’s Indie Awards, the Radio City FM Freedom Awards 2017, Vania Chawang & band and Abiogenesis – the folk fusion band from Nagaland, which is the only band in Nagaland to have received the Governors award for distinction in folk fusion music. Sholo Thong, the frontman of Gluttones will be the host.

The festival is organized by Abiogenesis Society with support from North East Council, Ministry of DoNER, Shillong.

Tom Petty’s U.S. Music Guitarist power couple Richie Sambora & Orianthi release ‘Rise’ EP Sales Increase 6,781%

“I feel like Ori and I are probably misunderstood,” Sambora says. “I’m seen as the guitar player with Bon Jovi and she’s seen as the guitar player with Michael Jackson. That’s what our legacy has permitted us.

But we’re like the best-kept secret that people haven’t discovered yet.”

The perception that both these multi-faceted artists shine most in a lead singer’s shadow is about to be demolished with the release of “Rise”, a fivesong EP that t h e two have made together. Reflecting the musical versatility of its creators, “Rise” is the first taste of several genrespanning bodies of work encompassing rock, blues, pop, R&B, and country, and creating a whole new lane for male-female vocal duets, thanks to the harmonious blend of Sambora and Orianthi’s voices (“Like Sonny and Cher on steroids!” Sambora cracks).

The two first met in Hawaii in 2013. Sambora was vacationing there and was asked by his old friend Alice Cooper to join him onstage at a charity show.

Orianthi had been Cooper’s guitarist since 2011. “Alice and I are sitting in the audience while the band is rehearsing and I said, ‘Who’s that?’ And he said, ‘That’s Ori. She’s played with Michael Jackson.’”

“We just hit it off straight away,” Orianthi recalls. “We started jamming out and it was really great.

Afterward Richie i nv i t ed

me to come hang out and we started writing and the chemistry was just there.”

“From the first time we were onstage, it was so powerful,” Sambora says.

“It felt inevitable that something was going to happen.

I, personally, knew in my heart, after that first time we played together that it wasn’t going to be the end.” Two months later, Sambora invited Orianthi to join him on a festival tour of her native Australia and later Europe.

The two traveled together, performing and feverishly writing songs.

Sambora and Orianthi eventually became a couple and now share a home in Los Angeles where they have built a

recording studio in their kitchen, complete with studiosize speakers, keyboards, computers, and mics.

There are amps in the dining room, the living room overflows with racks of guitars, and the home theater has been converted into a drum room.

Beijing, Oct 5 (Agencies): Rafael Nadal sent an ominous warning of intent as the 16-time Grand Slam winner bulldozed his way into the quarterfinals of the China Open on Thursday.

The Spanish world number one, enjoying a late-career flourish, dispatched Russia’s promising Karen Khachanov 6-3, 6-3 on the outside hard court in Beijing.

Nadal, the top seed and coming off the back of a third US Open title, faces big-serving American John Isner in the last eight.

The 31-year-old Nadal broke Khachanov, ranked 42 in the world, in the fourth game and was never in serious trouble after that.

Khachanov, at age 21 a rising talent, simply had no reply to Nadal’s explosive forehand and made too many routine errors.

Nadal broke the young Russian again in the third game of the second set as he cruised into the last eight.

It was a contrast to his opener in the Chinese capital, when Nadal saved two match points against Frenchman Lucas Pouille.

Dimapur, Oct 5 (NPN): Medziphema Village Youth Organisation ‘A’ (MVYO ‘A’) will lock horns with Medziphema Town Youth Organisation ‘A’ (MTYO ‘A’) in the final of the MAFA tournament 2017 on Friday.

In the first semi-final match played on Thursday, Medziphema Village Youth Organisation ‘A’ beat Khaibung ‘A’ 2-1. The match, though normal paced initially, accelerated by leaps and bounds as both the teams created chances but failed to hit the goal net more than once. MVYO ‘A’ finally romped home the winner as score was settled at 2 - 1 against Khaibung ‘A’.

The second semifinal match witnessed a spirited game between Medziphema Town Youth Organisation ‘A’ and Rüzaphema Youth Organisation wherein both teams were held goalless till half-time. In the second half however, it was the MTYO ‘A’ who took to a well-paced combination and eventually converted the first goal from a low cross. RYO boys too paced their game amid thunderous cheers from supporters but as luck would have it, they had to bow out being held 3-0 at the final whistle.

The final match bet we e n M V YO ‘A’ a n d MTYO ‘A’ will kick-off at 2:00 pm.
