provide direct accessibility to Dimapur-bound passenger vehicles by avoiding the traffic congestion. He also proposed setting up of a tollgate to collect revenue for maintenance of the road and recovery of investment made by MoRTH. Further, the chief minister urged for declaration of six roads in the State as national highways as these had been accorded “in principle approval”. The roads are (i) Showuba-Guzunyu-Pughoboto-Zunheboto-AghunatoNoklak-Pangsha (200 km), (ii) Trans-Eastern Highway from Mon-Longwa-Pangsha-Kiphire-Avangkhu (280 km), (iii) 2.7-km NH-29 to NH-29 (Dimapur byepass), (iv) 167-km Gandhi

Ashram-Chuchuyimlang (NH-2) to Pangsha (ITC), (v) Maibong-Tening in Nagaland to Tamenglong via Tamei in Manipur (75 km) and (vi) Ramani Ali Simulguri-Bihubor in Assam to Mon in Nagaland (71 km).

He said detailed project reports (DPRs) of these roads were being prepared by consultants hired by MoRTH, adding that these roads might be notified as national highway before November this year. This would enable the State government to maintain the roads on a regular basis as currently these were not maintained due to resource constraints.

Rio further pressed for approval and sanction of the proposed two-lane Trans-

Nagaland Highway (earlier known as Foothill Road) in the financial year 2018-19.

The project has been divided into three phases. Survey of the first phase (Amguri to Niuland) covering a stretch of 189 km was completed by a consultant and draft feasibility report (DFR) submitted on July 2 this year.

The consultant for the first phase was empanelled and hired by MoRTH. The first phase alignment of the Trans-Nagaland Highway runs similar to the surveyed DFR. In this regard, Rio conveyed to the Central ministry that the State government approved the proposed alignment on September 21 and notified the land possession as per specification, adding that DPR preparation was in final stage of completion and would be submitted in the first week of November.

The chief minister urged Gadkari for hiring consultants for the remaining two phases of the project (106-km Tizit to Amguri and 79-km Niuland to Athibung) in 2018-19. Regarding paying of compensation, Rio explained that while the State government

(L-R) Daily organic market after the launch on Sept 4 and a deserted look of the market on Sept 24. (NP)

Staff Reporter DIMAPUR, SEP 25 (NPN): Less than a month since it was inaugurated with much fanfare, the much-hyped organic market is fast losing its appeal – both among the farmers as well as customers.

When the organic market near bus stand at Supermarket was inaugurated on September 4, it spelt hope for local farmers as they thought they had finally found a place to sell their agricultural produce. Barring a few rows, almost every stall was occupied and the sight of fresh vegetables brought directly from agricultural fields by local farmers appealed to many healthconscious customers too.

However, barely 20 days later, the number of stalls has dwindled to al-

most one-third now compared to the almost full occupancy when the market was inaugurated. Also, there is very little buzz as customer footfall has fallen drastically.

When the organic market was open, the general populace welcomed the idea and it became a subject of discussion even on social media. And on September 7, governor PB Acharya had also shopped at the market and donated Rs 2 lakh for buying a pick-up truck to help local farmers bring their agricultural produce to the market.

On Monday, Nagaland Post visited the market and interacted with the farmers to find out why the numbers of sellers had reduced so drastically. Most of the local women at the market said that not many people

were aware of the market selling organic local produce. Customer came, but they came in trickles, they complained.

Their complaint seemed justified as there were hardly two to three customers in the market when this reporter interacted with them on Monday afternoon.

The second issue faced by the local women farmers is transportation. Many of them come from Chumukedima area and beyond.

Speaking to this reporter, a member of the Farmers Interest Group (FIG) from Chumukedima, A Aprilie said that while she appreciated the government for not charging them rent for the stalls, transportation had emerged as a major bottleneck.

Parl to decide ban on candidates with criminal past NEW DELHI, SEP 25 (PTI): Observing criminalisation of politics is a bitter manifest truth and a “termite” to the citadel of democracy, the Supreme Court Tuesday left it to Parliament to bar those facing trial for heinous and grievous offences from con-

testing elections by enacting a “strong law”.

Declining to put a ban on candidates with criminal antecedents from entering the poll fray, which, it said is the domain of the legislature, the court said the law should also make it mandatory for political parties to

revoke the membership of candidates facing serious criminal cases.

The court, however, passed a slew of directions to cleanse the “polluted stream of politics”.

One of the directions was that pending criminal (Cont’d on p-7)

Nagaland among lowest immunized States Correspondent

KOHIMA, SEP 25 (NPN): State immunisation officer Dr Atoshe Sema said Nagaland was one of the lowest immunised States in the country, which was one of the reasons for high infant mortality rate.

Dr Atoshe said this during an intensive media sensitisation programme on measles and rubella vaccination campaign organised by National Health Mission, Nagaland at Hotel Vivor here on Tuesday afternoon.

In his opening remark, the state immunisation officer said measles and rubella vaccination campaign was launched in February 2017, adding that Nagaland and other North-eastern States were now being covered under the third phase of intensive campaign.

He said the vaccination campaign would begin on October 3 at GHSS, Sek-

hazou here. He said India had high infant mortality cases due to measles outbreak, adding the Central government’s intention was to eliminate the disease by 2020.

Asserting that measlesrubella had no cure but could only be prevented, Dr Atoshe appealed to all stakeholders to join the campaign, stressing that the target for the vaccination campaign should be to cover not be less than 95% children. He said unless the target was achieved, the vaccination drive would continue.

He said each child would be tracked till the target was achieved and appealed to all citizens not to have any apprehensions and speculations over the vaccine, adding that Nagaland was not the first State to launch this campaign.

According to documents made available to media persons, around 41

crore children are expected to be covered across the country in next two years under the national measles and rubella campaign.

All children aged between 9 months and less than 15 years will be given a single shot of measlesrubella (MR) vaccine, irrespective of their previous measles/rubella vaccination status or measles/rubella disease status.

MR vaccine will be provided free- of-cost across the States from session sites at schools as well as health facilities and outreach session sites. Currently, measles vaccine is provided under Universal Immunisation Programme (UIP) and rubella vaccine will be a new addition.

Children in the age group of 9-15 are targeted as it was observed that maximum number of measles and rubella in the country was among children less

than 15 years.

Children will be vaccinated by a trained health worker and all immunisation sessions, whether in schools or outreach session sites, will be linked with fully-equipped health centres to handle any adverse events, even as all safety measures have been adopted during the course of vaccination. There is a danger of contracting measles and rubella by children who do not get vaccinated and, even if vaccinated, a child must get MR vaccine as the vaccine will enable it to fight against measles or rubella.

Earlier, health officer of UNICEF Dr Maulik Shah spoke on MR vaccination campaign, while SBCC consultant of UNICEF spoke on role of media in MR campaign. SMO (WHO) Dr Sheila spoke on the frequently asked questions, which was followed by an open discussion.

DIMAPUR, SEP 25 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio has proposed construction of a two-lane diversion road, including road over bridge, from Amar Flour Mill point near the inter-State check gate of Nagaland Police to Burma Camp on NH 29 on engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) mode.

Interacting with Union minister for Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH), shipping, Nitin Gadkari along with MoRTH officials at State Convention Centre in Shillong on Monday during a review meeting of National Highways and SARDP-NE projects, Rio said existing NH-129 and NH-29 passed through Dimapur city, which was Nagaland’s biggest commercial hub, and connected neighbouring Assam districts of Karbi Anglong and Golaghat.

He stressed that diversion was urgently required to ease Dimapur’s traffic congestion, besides providing accessibility to buses entering Inter State Bus Terminus (ISBT), located 700 metres away from the proposed road diversion, as this would

NE traders offer support to CAIT bandh

GUWAHATI, Sep 25 (Agencies): Business organisations in the Northeast have extended their support to the “Bharat Vyapar Bandh” called by the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) on September 28 to oppose the Walmart-Flipkart deal besides foreign direct investment in retail trade.

The apex traders’ body had in its annual general meeting in August this year taken the decision to call the country-wide bandh alleging that the deal would wipe out competition as Walmart’s business module entails predatory pricing, deep discounting and loss funding.

An American multinational retail corporation that operates a chain of hypermarkets and department stores, Walmart had recently announced its acquisition of 77 per cent stake in Flipkart, an Indian e-commerce firm.

“We strongly oppose the acquisition of Flipkart

by Walmart as seven crore people who are directly or indirectly related to the country’s retail trade will be affected. This backdoor

4,130 rape, 15,000 dowry cases in Assam in 2 years Guwahati, Sep 25 (IANS): Assam has witnessed 4,130 cases of rape and over 15,000 dowryrelated cases ever since the BJP-led government came to power in the state two years ago, according to an official data.

The figures could prove to be an embarrassment to BJP-led state government since it came to power in 2016 on a slogan of change and had assured to protect the lives and property of the people. Assam Industry Minister Chandra Mohan Patowary said that while 4,130 cases of rape have been reported from across the state in the last two years, a total of 15,470 cases

the construction of roads in the North Eastern states, the union minister asked Chief Ministers, Public Works Department ministers and chief secretaries of the respective states to have regular review meetings on the progress of the road projects.

“I have also directed the ADG (additional director generals) of NHIDCL responsible for road projects to visit the North Eastern states every three to four months and hold review meetings and resolve issues with the state government,” Gadkari said.

He said the government has decided to withdraw the services of NHAI from the North Eastern once the pending projects are over since the NHIDCL has been constituted exclusively for infrastructure development of the region.

However, he said the NHAI will need to attend to road projects in other parts of India. Praising the NHIDCL for accelerating the road construction in the region, Gadkari said, in all, work was underway on 2,520-km stretch in the region at a cost of Rs 36,839 crore under NHIDCL while the remaining 8,372 km will be taken up after adequate preparations, Gadkari said. In

related to dowry have been reported during the period.

Patowary was replying to a question by AGP legislator, Ramendra Narayan Kalita. He was replying on behalf of state Home Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, also Chief Minister of Assam. “Besides, 15,741 cases of abduction, 32,248 cases of burglary and 2,438 cases of killing were reported (between 2014 and 2016),” he said.

In all, 161 cases of rape, 457 cases of sexual harassment, 1,544 cases related to dowry and 1,543 cases of abduction took place in Assam’s capital town Guwahati, Patowary informed the House.

entry by Walmart would affect small traders in the retail segment and therefore we want the government to immediately scrap the deal,” Rupam Goswami, national vice-president of CAIT, told reporters here on Tuesday.

The size of the retail market of India is almost Rs 43 lakh crore. Apart from contributing substantially to the GDP, the retail segment absorbs major human resources and plays a significant role in employment generation.

“We cannot deny the fact that big multinationals are equally important for a growing economy.

But what we want from the government is to put in place policies, like the US, whereby multinational giants cannot take over the retail trade and the interests of small retailers are safeguarded,” Goswami, who is also the state chairman of the Assam Chamber of Commerce, said.

He said that if such FDI is allowed in retail, the sector would be unable to compete with the big multinationals at one point of time while the latter would attain monopoly

and start increasing prices of products.

“We are neither against the government nor supporting the bandh culture.

This is a bandh that will be resorted to only by traders in the interest of the common man. The agitation has been resorted primarily to make the government wary of the perils of FDI in retail. Here, we would like to inform that the bandh will not impact operations of schools and colleges or any other establishment,” Goswami said.

Over 40 trade organisations from the Northeast, including Assam Chamber of Commerce, Wholesale General Merchants Association, North Eastern Garments Traders Association, and North East Distributor Association, are supporting the bandh.

Some of the other demands include formulation of a robust and transparent policy for e-commerce, withdrawal of permission of 100 per cent FDI in single brand retail, declaration of a national trade policy for retail trade and constitution of a separate ministry of internal trade for traders.

Cong indulging in mud-slinging: Modi “Ever since I came into politics in 2001, you (Congress) have used all your strength to hurl abuses at me. There would not be a

single abuse left in the dictionary now. However, the more mud you threw, the more the lotus bloomed,” he said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi flanked by BJP National President Amit Shah (R) and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan wave at their supporters during BJP ‘Karyakarta Mahakumbh’, in Bhopal, Tuesday. (PTI) Bhopal, Sep 25 (PTI): The Congress is indulging in mud-slinging against the government because it finds it easier than debating issues like development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Tuesday, in an apparent reference to allegations on the Rafale fighter deal.

Addressing a rally here in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh, he also said that the Congress was looking for support outside the country after failing to firm up a formidable coalition within India.

He was apparently referring to a tweet by former Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik who had said that Rahul Gandhi will be next PM of India if he follows `Jet Gate` (Rafale deal) properly”.

Modi said “arrogance”

has reduced the Congress party from 440 seats in the Lok Sabha to 44 seats, despite which it was not ready to introspect or correct itself.

“What a condition the 125-year-old Congress been reduced to! Nothing remains in the Congress... You need to look for the Congress party with a microscope now,” he said at the rally which was also addressed by BJP chief Amit Shah and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.

Mocking the Congress, Modi said the party has been reduced to such a condition that it is “begging” with small parties for alliances.

He went on to add, “Even if they get allies, the coalition will not be successful. So, they (Congress) are looking for support from

SC verdict on validity of Aadhaar likely today

NEW DELHI, SEP 25 (IANS): Supreme Court will likely pronounce on Wednesday its verdict on the batch of petitions challenging the constitutional validity of Aadhaar on grounds of it being violative of the fundamental right to privacy.

Besides the validity of Aadhaar, the verdict on challenge to the tabling of Aadhaar as a money bill will also be important as it would have a bearing on the powers of the Lok Sabha Speaker.

The five-judge constitution bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justice A.K. Sikri, Justice A.M. Khanwilkar, Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and Justice Ashok Bhushan had reserved the verdict after hearing the petitions for over 38 days starting January 17 this year.

Besides the constitutional validity of Aadhaar on the touchstone of right to privacy, the other issue, if Aadhaar is to stay, what would be the scope and width of its applicability.

As of now Centre has issued 139 notifications, practically touching every aspect of a citizen’s day-today life, making Aadhaar linking mandatory.

An offshoot of challenge to Aadhaar scheme on the grounds of it being violative of right to privacy was that a nine-judge constitution bench examined the issue and in August 2017 had held that the right to privacy was a fundamentals right.

The August 2017 verdict holding privacy a fundamental right is likely to impact the Aadhaar verdict.

While holding that the right to privacy was a fundamental right, Justice Chandrachud in his August 2017 judgment had said, “Apart from national security, the state may have justifiable reasons for the collection and storage of data. In a social welfare state, the government embarks upon programmes which provide benefits to impoverished and marginalised sections of society.”

New Delhi, Sep 25 (PTI): The CBI has asked the Interpol wing of Nigeria to confirm if absconding promoter of Gujarat-based Sterling Biotech, Nitin Sandesara, being probed in a Rs 5300 crore banking fraud case, has moved in that country, officials said Tuesday.

The move came after reports that Sandesara along with his family members, also accused in the scam, have fled from the United Arab Emirates to Nigeria with which India does

outside India...Now, will people sitting outside the country decide who will become prime minister in India?”

He said the Congress has “lost its balance after losing power”.

Apparently referring to the charges of corruption being levelled by the Congress in the Rafale fighter deal, the prime minister said, “They (Congress) are indulging in mud-slinging because they find it easier.”

He said the Congress had indulged in “mud-slinging” earlier too. “But I want to tell them, the more you throw mud at us, the more the lotus (BJP’s symbol) will bloom,” he added.

Modi said the Congress’ attempts to defame him in the last two decades haven’t worked.

The Congress Tuesday rejected BJP’s claim that Rahul Gandhi wanted the Rafale deal scrapped to help a firm linked to his brother-in-law Robert Vadra and said the Modi government was responding to the alleged “scam” with abuses and mud-slinging.

On Monday, the BJP alleged that the Congress president was involved in a “conspiracy, internationally” and former French president Francois Hollande was part of the “nexus” to sabotage the Rafale deal.

Responding to the claims, Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said the Congress government gave the contract to state-run firm Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave it to Anil Ambani’s Reliance Defence.

“The tender was issued in 2007 August, and on December 12, 2012, it was opened...and in March 13, 2014, the Congress government gave the offset contract to state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Limited,” Surjewala told reporters. He cited the statements made by Dassault Aviation CEO Eric Trappier and former HAL chairperson T S Hitting out at Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad and the Modi government, Surjewala said they were responding to the Rafale “scam” with abuses and mud-slinging.

“The country has heard the tale of Ali Baba aur Chaalis Chor, now it is asking that when will Modi Baba and Chaalis Chor answer,” Surjewala said in a word play on the folk tale “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves”.

“Are you Ambani’s PM, or the country’s prime minister?” he asked.

Bharatiya Janata Party leader and Union minister Gajendra Shekhawat had dragged the Gandhi family into the intensifying political row over the fighter aircraft deal, alleging that the UPA government had called off the multi-billion dollar deal after a private company linked to Vadra was not chosen as a broker.

The Rafale controversy took a new turn last week after Hollande, who was French president when the Rs 58,000 crore deal was announced, was quoted as saying

by French publication Mediapart on Friday that France was given “no choice” on selection of the Indian partner for Dassault and the Indian government proposed the name of Reliance as offset partner for the French aerospace giant.

not have any extradition treaty.

The agency has said it has no input on the whereabouts of Sandersara and his family members.

Following the reports, the agency has approached the Nigerian Interpol authorities to find out details of Sandesara and his family members.

Last October, the agency booked Sterling Biotech, its directors Chetan Jayantilal Sandesara, Dipti Chetan Sandesara, Rajbhushan Omprakash Dixit,

Nitin Jayantilal Sandesara and Vilas Joshi, chartered accountant Hemant Hathi, former director of Andhra Bank Anup Garg and other unidentified persons.

The CBI has alleged that the company had taken loans of over Rs 5,000 crore from a consortium led by Andhra Bank which have turned into non-performing assets.

The FIR has alleged that the total pending dues of the group companies were Rs 5,383 crore as on December 31, 2016.

The directors of the company “connived with the in-house chartered accountant and falsified material records of the company”, such as production, turnover and investments in capital assets, the FIR alleged.

“This was allegedly done using various Indiabased entities and those situated abroad,” it said.

The company was earlier booked by the CBI in August for allegedly bribing senior Income Tax department officials.

Rafale deal better than one negotiated earlier: Chief Air Marshal R. Nambiar

New Delhi, Sep 25 (IANS): Air Force Deputy Chief Air Marshal R. Nambiar on Tuesday asserted that the deal for 36 Rafale aircraft by the Modi government was “much better” than the one negotiated earlier for 126 planes, contending that “people are misinformed” about the issue.

The remarks came in the backdrop of a mounting multi-pronged attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government by the Congress, with the party on Monday moving the Central Vigilance Commissioner seeking an FIR and seizure of documents pertaining to the Rafale deal.

Asked about the row

over the offset partners chosen by Dassault Aviation, he said: “I believe people are misinformed. There is nothing like Rs 30,000 crore to any one party. Dassault alone has offsets to the tune of over Rs 6,500 crore.

Nothing more than that.

“We have evaluated all the aircraft available to us in the past,” Nambiar, who recently flew the Rafale in France, told the media here.

“All and all it was a very good deal, much better than what was obtained in 2008,” the Deputy Chief Air Marshal said.

“We have looked at six platforms and Rafale has met all our requirements.

It has been found the most technically capable as well

as commercially viable from our point of view. That is how it has been selected.”

Asked about a French media report that there was a push by the Indian government to include Anil Ambani’s Reliance Defence in the deal, Nambiar said: “The commercial negotiations were headed by the Deputy Chief of Air Staff and he was responsible for completing the negotiations.”

The official said the negotiations continued for “almost 14 months”. “We believe we met all the directions of our leadership -- that was to get a better price, better maintenance terms, better delivery schedule and better performance logistic package.”

ormer French president Francois Hollande dropped a bombshell that blew the defensive fortress of the Modi government which was on denial mode that it had no hand in the choice of Indian offset partner- Reliance Defence- in the multibillion dollar Rafale jetfighter deal worth Rs.58,000 crore.

The Rafale deal has pitched Rahul Gandhi against Narendra Modi as Hollande’s bombshell resonated across the globe. The interview with Francois Hollande by a French journalist Antton Rouget launched the torpedo that struck the fortress of the Modi government. This interview has given the Congress the biggest shot-in-the-arm. In the interview Hollande told Antton Rouget, that it was the Indian government who proposed the name of Reliance Defence to the French authorities. François Hollande, who was the president of France at the time of the signing of the Rafale contract between Dassault Aviation and Reliance Defence clearly told the journalist that it was the Indian government which had proposed (the name of) Reliance Defence to French authorities. Congress President Rahul Gandhi in his allegations also kicked up a storm. He said that the (parent) company of Reliance Defence had a “debt of Rs 35,000 crore” benefited Rs 45,000 crore by the Rafale deal signed

by Modi Government. The Modi government had strongly refuted the charge made by Congress and also refused to clarify on the justification for the sky rocketing of the price of a Rafale jetfighter from Rs. 580 crore each to Rs.1600 each. The UPA government had agreed to purchase 126 Rafale jets at the price of Rs.1600 crore while Modi agreed to purchase only 36 Rafale jets for Rs.1600 crore each. That figure of Rs.1600 crore for 36 Rafale jets as against Rs.580 crore for 126 Rafale jets did not seem to make any sense and rightly created alarm, leading to strong suspicions of some wheeling-dealing going on. The Paris trip in April 2015 where the Rafale pact was first discussed, Anil Ambani was present during the prime minister’s visit to Moscow in December of the same year, batting for major contracts with Russia for his newly formed defence companies. The response of the Russians was totally different when it decided to choose Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for the PSU to jointly manufacture Sukhoi aircraft. Ambani’s firm had no experience in defence manufacturing and worse, it was hardly a few weeks old when it was chosen by Dassault. The Congress had raised even in Parliament, but the Modi government refused to divulge details to explain why the price had soared so high. The government’s obstinate insistence that it had nothing to do with the decision by Dassault to choose Reliance Defence and a determined refusal to even constitute a Parliamentary panel to study the deal was rejected outright on the plea of a confidential clause in the agreement. The government went to the extent of imputing anti-nationalism against those daring to openly ask questions when government ministers maintained that asking such questions tantamount to attempt to compromise India’s national security. The Rafale deal is no longer a confidential matter and it is ridiculous to suggest that justifying the cost would compromise national security. If the Modi government has nothing to hide, then it should agree to a parliamentary panel or a Supreme Court monitored committee to go into the details to decide once and for all the facts of the matter.

DailyDevotion The “Go” of Relationship Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. —Matthew 5:41 Our Lord’s teaching can be summed up in this: the relationship that He demands for us is an impossible one unless He has done a supernatural work in us. Jesus Christ demands that His disciple does not allow even the slightest trace of resentment in his heart when faced with tyranny and injustice. No amount of enthusiasm will ever stand up to the strain that Jesus Christ will put upon His servant. Only one thing will bear the strain, and that is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ Himself— a relationship that has been examined, purified, and tested until only one purpose remains and I can truly say, “I am here for God to send me where He will.” Everything else may become blurred, but this relationship with Jesus Christ must never be.

The Sermon on the Mount is not some unattainable goal; it is a statement of what will happen in me when Jesus Christ has changed my nature by putting His own nature in me. Jesus Christ is the only One who can fulfill the Sermon on the Mount.

If we are to be disciples of Jesus, we must be made disciples supernaturally. And as long as we consciously maintain the determined purpose to be His disciples, we can be sure that we are not disciples. Jesus says, “You did not choose Me, but I chose you…” (John 15:16). That is the way the grace of God begins. It is a constraint we can never escape; we can disobey it, but we can never start it or produce it ourselves. We are drawn to God by a work of His supernatural grace, and we can never trace back to find where the work began.

Our Lord’s making of a disciple is supernatural. He does not build on any natural capacity of ours at all. God does not ask us to do the things that are naturally easy for us— He only asks us to do the things that we are perfectly fit to do through His grace, and that is where the cross we must bear will always come.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2018

T

Holy crime and saintly corruption in Nagaland!

he hot waves of crime and corruption have been sweeping Nagaland for so long. Everyone talks about corruption. It has become a topic of discussion in schools and colleges. Even corrupted officers talk about corruption as though they are clean sheets of paper. There is no solution to corruption if we continue to live under the guise of VIPs or officers only to steal and loot public money for oneself.

The world we live in is imperfect, yet many people continue to contribute to this imperfection instead of setting it right by their fine presence and good works.

Everyone blame everyone without much doing. This has become day to day life style in a small State, Nagaland.

It is a sad reality that some Nagas have become senseless and shameless to a great extent. The Sun never shines upon the corrupt officials. No wonder why a farewell of an officer needs just few lakhs of rupees (just a small amount!

They should increase the amount every year as per the age of the retired officer).

The recent report of the Comptroller of Auditor General has revealed the very system of crime and corruption in Nagaland. Some offices exist only to suck pure blood and eat raw flesh of the poor people. Did they become new species of Naga cannibals? Some officers sit in the soft chairs only to make the life of the Nagas harder than before. Should we allow these culprits to live their life at the expense of the Nagas?

This is a wrong way of life.

Few Naga officials who hold respectable position in the Government offices have become a bunch of robbers to make sure that Nagaland becomes a ‘Dry State’ before they retire. They efficiently dry up all the funds and schemes without any guilt and shame. A sincere servant is put to shame by the dishonest officers.

Does every signature need an accompaniment of money? Can files be signed without taking bribes? Can an officer perform his/her

T

duty without filling up his/ her personal bank account?

A corrupt officer is a good thief. (The word ‘good’ does not mean that you are good.

It means you are pretty bad to be called good). Many people find their happiness by being good thieves. They pretend to work for the welfare of the Nagas but inside them are full of selfishness and greed. Behind their smiles lie giant vampires. They keep their eyes wide open even when they are asleep.

They are ever vigilant less any fund passes by without putting their hands in it. A general comment ‘Kam kuri ase to, khabo lage to na!’ will ultimately come out of their mouth. Yes, eat your own food and allow others to receive their share in peace.

Central funds and schemes that come to Nagaland are deducted from top to bottom. It exists from Pension to Scholarship, midday meal to VDB funds, MGNREGA to the Funds meant for Differently Abled Persons. This is how we skin others alive inside our esteemed offices. This is called ‘skinning Nagas alive.’ Is this the way to manage our State?

Is this how we treat people?

Think of how even the funds meant for Differently Abled Persons were eaten by some officers without any prick of conscience (may be they have never known the pain of differently abled persons). This is the worst social sin one could ever think of. Please stop stealing the poor man’s share. Every person wants to live a dignified life irrespective of social status.

Scholarship meant for Students are misused happily.

Scholarship is a centrally sponsored scheme. (No officer in the Directorate gives from his personal pocket).

Instead of helping the Students, they drink the young blood and leave them dry and speechless. Are those officers in the Directorate still pursuing their studies in class XI, XII or undergoing their B.A or B. Sc studies in the Directorate office that the Scholarship was all for themselves? No wonder why

Students protest almost every year for release of Scholarship. What is meant for others must not find its home in the pockets of few tainted personals. Let the Government offices not become new Sodom and Gomorrah.

Some respected elders in the offices are making Nagaland to be so. If elders and officers continue likewise, what shall your children say about you?

And what shall you teach your children – corruption or sincere living? Choose for yourselves before you commit another crime of corruption.

Shall we include a new subject “Best ways and means to practice corruption in Nagaland” in the syllabus of the Students? This may be a better way of studying in Nagaland because good and sincere students are most often thrown out of many exams and interviews. This is Nagaland! You can believe in God and practice corruption in his Holy Name.

You can pay your tithe with corrupt money. You can give donation to the Church with corrupt money. You can feed your innocent children with corrupt money. You can buy the latest vehicle with corrupt money. You can purchase land and building with corrupt money. Ohhh! So many ways of earning name and fame. Just say a prayer, “Lord, have mercy on me. I will steal some funds but I will surely give one tenth. I hope you know me as a Naga officer.”

If any Government officer be found guilty of corruption, let his/her personal account be seized and the money be repaid to the respective office within stipulated time. It is better to take corrective measures than to be sucked in corruption forever. Nagas have sufficiently tolerated the ill-behavior of many corrupted officers. It is time to confront them with justice. Mercy and forgiveness are draining out day by day because of rampant corruption and extortion.

If the State Government is for the welfare of the Nagas, firstly, it must not be

Taking one more step to move ahead

corrupt. And it should not shelter any corrupt officials under its compassionate umbrella. If the Government continues to support corruption, it will give birth to many ‘underworld dons.’ Nagas have sufficient undeclared dons. Most of them are either undergrounds or Government officials. Very often, they work hand in hand lest Nagas should lose the hope of a Sovereign State. The present Government took up its office to outdo corruption in Nagaland. I hope the Government implements corrective justice (not correction fluid) to make Nagaland a better place.

If any corrupted officer is reading this note, kindly give a deeper thought to your evil action. Do you go to office to perform your duties or to corrupt? Stop corrupting the system and start dignifying your job by your sincere work. Stop darkening the face of Nagas by your corrupt behavior. This will give you peace of mind. A change for betterment will come when you do your work without corrupting the poor man’s share. Allow the younger generation to see a ray of hope in you. Do not be a dark shadow upon your children.

They will curse you for what you have done.

We must all contribute our share of good work towards the welfare of Nagaland. This can come about by our very way of life and action in our own capability.

Victims of corruption and extortion must learn to raise their voice high, loud and clear. Failing to claim our rights and privileges will only invite greater corruption and crime. Let us not pray inside our homes and practice corruption in our offices. What is true must be kept true for the good of all. Even if we cannot live true Christian life, let us stop the crime of corruption. This will open the door of righteousness for all.

I pray that good Naga Elders will ignite and show the light to the younger generations in this regard.

Rev. Fr. G. L. Khing, Kohima

T

he Report of Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) which was tabled in the recently concluded session of the 13th Nagaland Legislative Assembly was thoroughly embarrassing as a Christian. Some may say it was not as bad as before and take comfort in it. However, from unverifiable projects to doubtful execution, from short execution to abandonment of projects, from diversion of projects to furnishing of utilization certificates even before funds were released, from a single project paid twice to dealers concealing purchases and evading taxes, from undue financial benefit to contractor(s) on enhancement of rate to fictitious transportation challans and non-existent vehicles, from misappropriation of students’ scholarship funds to miraculous resizing of two-storey RCC hostel building to a single-storey building are all too much to be expecting from the top state government functionaries, bureaucrats, contractors, and their accomplices. These things are appalling! But they are not impossible if one gives in to unquenchable greed.

Perhaps, calculative blame game is doing the round because the recent years had witnessed unstable governments with portfolios and officials reshuffled more often than required, and so one can easily pass the buck to others. But all these had happened in “real” Nagaland. Those responsible for such “crimes” may safely be relaxing far away from the catch of the legal grip, but hopefully not beyond the prick of conscience.

Enough damage has been done to ourselves.

We have become callous and take pride in shameful things. Given the situation, tons of anger can ceaselessly flow from one’s mouth, but perhaps that can only snowball more angers and will not achieve anything worthwhile. It is evident that Nagaland is speeding up towards an explosion! We have all the recipes in place, external threats and internal decadence, and the day may not be too far off when we will have to pay heavy consequences for all that we have recklessly sown. God forbid that such day should ever come!

Sadly, our society is at its lowest point! But we are not hopeless yet if we care to seek God’s face and mercy. In that assuring care of the Almighty God we can thrive again. However, it also requires will and determination from everyone, and everyone must take one more step to move on. The state government should commit itself seriously to be more “people/public” government and not “self/party” government. The Naga national governments must spare every young Naga entrepreneur who struggles to stand on his/her own feet from all taxation as a commitment to building the Naga nation together.

Too many of them have given up from frustration and we must not allow any more to happen. The church should guard closely its sanctity and integrity so that it remains worthy of providing shelter and hope to our fatigued society, and to look upon for the voice of God in hazy times. The Nagas have to promote the family feeling and learn to live together not only during good times but more so in bad times. And the non-Nagas living in Nagaland should contribute towards the common good with sense of gratitude for getting their livelihood in being here.

Restoration of “God-consciousness” in all of our dealings and relationships is indispensable in our journey to a better society. Everyone must take another God-fearing step to make Nagaland a more joyful place to live in. To that end, May God help us!

Makeover gambits by RSS, Congress: Are they for real?

wo intriguing exercises in U-turns are on at the moment.

While Congress president Rahul Gandhi is trying to rid the Congress of its pro-Muslim image, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief, Mohan Bhagwat, is claiming that a Hindu “rashtra” (nation) will include Muslims as well.

Although Bhagwat did not specifically say so, it was obvious that the Muslims would not be treated as second-class citizens in a nation of Hindus as was decreed by M.S. Golwalkar, the second sarsanghchalak (head) of the RSS. Are these changes for real or fake? If they are real, then both the Congress and the RSS can be said to be turning over a new leaf.

The formidable impact of such changes, especially the one in the RSS, on the social and political scene is obvious. In a way, it will be on the scale of Mikhail Gorbachev’s perestroika (restructuring) and glasnost (openness) which brought the communist Soviet Union into the capitalist world.

Will the RSS similarly break out of its earlier Hindu-centric mould for which it was accused by several judicial commissions of instigating communal riots and become secular?

However, the problem in the case of the RSS is that it is not alone. It is a part of a large brotherhood which includes the Bharatiya Jana-

ta Party (BJP), the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), the Bajrang Dal, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and others.

Although the RSS is their mentor, it is not known whether it will be able to bring their thinking in line with its new, accommodative mode.

The task is bound to be difficult considering that the saffron brotherhood has nurtured an anti-minority outlook for decades, regarding Muslims as “internal enemies No. 1” and Christians as “internal enemies No. 2”, according to Golwalkar.

Although the RSS and the BJP have now distanced themselves from this section of Golwalkar’s catechism, the Ramjanmabhoom agitation of the 1990s showed how the Hindutva brigade continues to hold the two communities as responsible for all of India’s woes, starting from the destruction of temples in medieval times to the country’s partition in the modern period to the conversion of Hindus to “alien” religions.

Another fear of the saffronities is that the Muslims would outnumber the Hindus by breeding exponentially with their four wives -- hum panch, hamare pachis, as Narendra Modi once said -- while the Christian missionaries will continue to “harvest” gullible Hindu souls.

It is open to question, therefore, as to what extent Bhagwat’s words of wisdom

will lead to a dramatic rethinking in the Hindutva ranks. It is this scepticism which apparently made the opposition parties at the national level stay away from the three-day conclave which Bhagwat addressed at New Delhi’s prestigious Vigyan Bhavan.

However, the proof of the pudding will be in the eating. If there are no more lynchings of suspected beef-eaters, no more campaigns in favour of “ghar wapsi” or the reconversion of Muslims, and no more instances of love jehad resulting in the harassment of inter-faith couples, then it will be presumed that the RSS chief ’s counsel of restraint is having a sobering effect on the saffron storm-troopers.

As important as the stoppage of lynchings will be the end of the cold-blooded killings of rationalists or scientists or journalists, which have evidently been carried out by those indoctrinated by the philosophy of hate directed against Left-Liberal members of the intelligentsia.

And, what about the venomous outpourings of the countless saffron trolls who let out whoops of joy over the killing of an intrepid scribe? Will they pipe down and become models of restrained behaviour?

Cynics may wonder whether Bhagwat’s latest nod to the “idea” of a multicultural India, which is normally derided by the

Hindu Right, is an attempt to gain respectability for the Sangh Parivar by entering the gated enclaves of the Left-Liberals who regard themselves as the standardbearers of a modern, cosmopolitan lifestyle while the Parivar with its fetish for Hindi, vegetarianism and cow’s urine is seen as a bucolic outsider.

It is possible that the RSS realised that notwithstanding the enormous material and political clout it has acquired because of the BJP’s political success, its social standing hasn’t improved. The anglicised, deracinated “urban Naxalites” in the cocktail cir-

cuits continue to regard the Hindu Right as usurpers in the corridors of power.

But if the RSS dons the cloak of inclusiveness, where does that leave the BJP? Already, Bhagwat’s praise of the Congress’s role in the freedom struggle and his observation that he does not believe in the idea of the country being made “mukt” (free) of any party has poured cold water over the BJP’s plan of ushering in a Congress-mukt Bharat.

This is the first sign that the RSS and the BJP do not see eye to eye on at least one matter. The place of honour for Muslims in a Hindu rashtra will

also focus attention on the BJP’s reluctance to choose Muslims (and Christians) as the party’s election candidates.

The branding by some BJP leaders of their opponents as anti-nationals also goes against Bhagwat’s moderate tone. If the RSS chief ’s discourse robs the BJP of its divisive plank, its election campaign is bound to lose its sting. The “chelas” (ideological followers), therefore, will have to harmonise their political line with the guru’s latest views.

Launching of Public Transport in Dimapur Sir,

Kudos to the Nagaland state government and all the stake holders involved in making public transport a reality in Dimapur. With the cost of living getting higher day by day, it is truly a relief for the common man as they can now travel in and around Dimapur while paying half the fare. Though the launching of public transport may not be welcomed by all, especially by those who feel threatened by it. Regardless of that, it cannot be denied that it is a novel and a positive step for the general interest of the society.

One may also well recollect that It is long been a long time that similar effort was made to launch public transport but may be due to lack of proper planning and a strong political will it could not materialise but looking at the present effort of the government one may hope that public transport in Dimapur is here to stay like in Kohima and other cities.

Public need to lend their support towards such a positive initiative of the government as this will definitely help to reduce the traffic congestion, reduce air pollution, and create employment opportunities and make our travelling a Safer and an enjoyable one.

Legislators cannot be debarred from practising as advocates: SC

New Delhi, Sep 25 (PTI): Advocates, who become law-makers, cannot be debarred from practising in courts, the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday. The apex court said there was no express provision either under the Rules and the law regulating the profession of the lawyers to restrict them from practising on becoming members of Parliament, state assemblies or state councils.

“We hold that the provisions of the Advocates Act, 1961 and the Rules framed thereunder, do not place any restrictions on the legislators to practise as advocates during the relevant period.

“The closest rule framed by the Bar Council of India is Rule 49 which, however, has no application to the elected people’s representatives as they do not fall in the category of full-time salaried employee of any person, firm, government, corporation or concern,” a bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud, said. The court dismissed the PIL filed by BJP leader and advocate Ashwini

Supreme Court

Upadhyay seeking to bar lawyer-lawmakers (MPs, MLAs, MLCs) from practising in courts during their tenure in the legislature.

“The status of legislators (MPs,MLAs,MLCs) is of a member of the House (Parliament/State Assembly). The mere fact that they draw salary under the 1954 Act or different allowances under the relevant Rules framed under the said Act does not result in creation of a relationship of employer and employee between the Government and the legislators, despite the description of payment received by them in the name of salary,” the court said.

“The legislators being

elected people’s representatives occupy a seat in Parliament/ Legislative Assembly or Council as its members but are not in the employment of or for that matter full-time salaried employees as such. They occupy a special position so long as the House is not dissolved.

Similarly, the participation of the legislators in the House for the conduct of its business, by no standards can be considered as service rendered to an employer,” the bench said.

Observing that the legislators occupy a unique position, the court said they are not appointed but are elected by the electors from respective territorial constituen-

cies. “The fact that they have to take oath administered by the President/Governor before they take their seat in the House, does not mean that they are appointed by the President/Governor as such, unlike in the case of the Prime Minister/Chief Minister and Ministers in the Council of Ministers.

“The legislators receive payment in the form of salary and allowances or pension from the Consolidated Fund, is not enough to debar them from practising as advocates, sans being a fulltime salaried employee of the specified entities.

They continue to remain only as member(s) of the House representing the territorial constituencies from where they have been elected until the House is dissolved or if he/she resigns or vacates the seat for having incurred disqualification as may be prescribed by law,” it said. The three-judge bench said that merely because the advocate concerned is an elected people’s representative, it does not follow that he or she has indulged in professional misconduct.

Daily organic market struggles to survive

(From p-1) She claimed that oneway trip costs her Rs 120 and with the money spent on food every day, she ended up spending more than Rs 300 just to sell her produce at the market. And on days customers were less, she ended up spending more than earning. She admitted that initially business was good as customers thronged to her stall to buy her produce.

A cold storage facility is another aspect that needs to be looked into as Aprilie said there were days when unsold produce had to be consumed by the entire family at home as these have short shelf life.

Appealing to customers to buy from farmers like her, the FIG member explained that though their organic produce might not look as appealing and fresh as vegetables grown using

chemicals and fertilisers, but their produce were much tastier and healthier.

For two local farmers from Zani village, about 7 to 8 km further from Fourth Mile, they need to change autos twice to reach Dimapur. The duo of Neingou and Salu who occupy stalls side by side said they spent around Rs 600 just for transportation.

And like Aprilie, they said that on days when there

were few customers, they suffered losses.

The local women urged the media to make the people aware about the market and appealed to the people to buy for them and support them.

The minimum the authorities can do to help the farmers is provide transportation, set up a cold storage facility soon, install a signboard and beautify the area to attract more customers.

UP minister calls Rahul ‘emperor of lies’ Lu c k n ow, S e p 2 5 (PTI): Hitting back at Congress president Rahul Gandhi for using “foul language” against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh minister Sidharth Nath Singh said Tuesday the Amethi MP had graduated from being a ‘shehzada’ (prince) to “an emperor of lies”.

Alleging that the Congress chief was misleading people, Singh, who is also a spokesperson of the UP government, demanded Gandhi spell out details to substantiate his claims on the then UPA government’s decisions on the Rafale deal.

“The shehzada has graduated and become the shehenshah (emperor)...

Rahul Gandhi has become an emperor of lies. I am saying this as yesterday in Amethi he presented a story that was a total lie,” Singh said attacking Rahul Gandhi.

The UP minister alleged that Gandhi was trying to “convert lies into truth” by continually repeating them.

“Rahul is saying his (UPA) government had inked a deal with Rafale for 126 fighter jets. He says the order was given to HAL. I want to know from Rahul Gandhi about the dates of these events. Please tell the country what the deal was (with Rafale) and what order was placed with HAL,” Singh said.

Asked if the Rafale issue would impact the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Singh said he did not believe so as elections were not fought on “lies”. The Congress chief had in Amethi on Monday demanded answers from Prime Minister Modi on several issues related to the Rafale deal.

Parl to decide ban on candidates...

(From p-1) cases have to be stated “in bold letters” in the form provided by the Election Commission. The candidate and the political party concerned were also directed to issue a declaration in widely circulated newspapers in the locality and in electronic media about his or her antecedents.

According to the prevalent law, lawmakers stand immediately disqualified and candidates barred from contesting elections if convicted for a crime and sentenced to a jail term of two years or above under the Representation of Peoples (RP) Act. Warning that “malignancy” of criminalisation of

politics can become “fatal” to democracy, the court said the nation was “eagerly” waiting for a legislation as the society has legitimate expectation to be governed by proper constitutional governance and citizens cannot be compelled to stand as “silent, deaf and mute spectators” to corruption by projecting themselves as helpless.

Holding that criminalisation of politics is an “extremely disastrous and lamentable situation”, a fivejudge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra in its unanimous verdict said this “unsettlingly increasing trend” has the propensity to “send shivers down the spine of a constitutional democracy”.

“A time has come that the Parliament must make law to ensure that persons facing serious criminal cases do not enter into the political stream. The bench said though criminalisation in politics is a “bitter manifest truth”, which is a “termite” to the citadel of democracy, the court cannot make the law.

The 100-page verdict was pronounced on a batch of pleas raising a question whether lawmakers facing criminal trial can be disqualified from contesting elections at the stage of framing of charges against them.

The PILs were filed

by NGO ‘Public Interest Foundation’, BJP leader Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay and others.

Rio proposes 2-lane diversion road for Dmu

(From p-1) had committed to provide land free of cost for developing four Special Accelerated Road Development Programme in Northeast (SARDP-NE) roads in the State, which were under execution, it was also decided that National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) would compensate for damage to property assets of the affected owners.

Presently, eligible compensation to damages are properties that include structures, buildings, plantations (bamboo, commercial trees), fisheries, miscellaneous properties like wells, irrigation canals, drains, walls, reservoir tanks, retaining walls, etc.

However, the chief minister urged MoRTH to direct the NHIDCL to review its present practice of deducting the amount against terrace fields, vacant

buildings on the plea that the land was provided free of cost for the projects.

He explained that in hilly areas, substantial investment was made or incurred for development of such assets and hence damage to terrace fields and vacant buildings were direct loss to their owners as these gave income and served them economically.

He sought proper compensation in this regard, to which the ministry officials agreed during the meeting.

Regarding the Changtongya-Longleng road, which has been declared as a part of NH-702, Rio said due to objections by landowners, the chief secretary convened a meeting of three village councils – Sanglu, Alayong and Yaongyimchen – with NHIDCL officials.

The villagers objected to the survey by RITES and appealed for a re-survey in the presence of land own-

ers as per national highway specifications. He added that NHIDCL had agreed for the re-survey of the existing road alignment with a new consultant keeping in mind the concern expressed by the three village councils. On his part, Gadkari reviewed NH and SARDP-NE road projects in Nagaland and assured to extend all possible help and assistance towards early completion of these projects.

In response to a query raised by deputy chief minister Y Patton, who is also in charge of national highways, on the status of Pfutsero-Jessami road, the Central minister assured to provide funds to Border Roads Organisation for repair and maintenance of the road. Rio was accompanied by Patton and other State government officials.

This was stated in a press release issued by chief minister’s office.

Process to evict ‘illegal infiltrators’ won’t stop: Shah ‘Karyakarta Mahakumbh’ (grand assembly of party workers), being held on the occasion of birth anniversary of RSS ideologue and Bharatiya Jana Sangh (BJS) co-founder Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya.

The BJP, the successor party of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, is organising programmes across the country to mark his birth anniversary.

Shah also said that Congress president Rahul Gandhi was “day-dreaming” about his party’s victory in Madhya Pradesh, where the Assembly elections are due later this year.

Instead of making such claims, Gandhi should introspect his party’s losses in elections in various states after 2014, the senior BJP leader said.

Bhopal, Sep 25 (PTI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah Tuesday said the process of evicting “illegal infiltrators” from the country will not stop.

Notably, the draft National Register of Citizens (NRC) recently published in Assam had identified nearly 40 lakh illegal immigrants.

Referring to the NRC, Shah said, “The process to evict illegal infiltrators will not stop, irrespective of the Congress’ opposition.”

The Congress is raising issues to deflect the attention from crucial subjects, he said, adding that “there is no competition to the BJP in respect of development, security and nationalism.”

Mumbai, Sep 25 (PTI): Gold prices gained further at the bullion market here today following sustained demand from stockists and retailers amid firm global cues.

However, silver prices slipped modestly, due to subdued demand from industrial units.

Standard gold (99.5 per cent purity) climbed by Rs 50 to close at Rs 30,755 per 10 gram from Monday’s closing level of Rs 30,705.

Pure gold (99.9 per cent purity) also moved up by a similar margin to end at Rs 30,905 per 10 gram as against Rs 30,855, previously. While, silver (.999 fineness) eased by Rs 60 per kg to conclude at Rs 37,135 as compared to Rs 37,195 yesterday.

Mumbai, Sep 25 (PTI): The rupee Tuesday weakened further by 6 paise to close at 72.69 to the US dollar on sustained demand for the American currency amid soaring crude prices.

It was a highly volatile day on the forex market as wide swings in the currency value kept investors on edge and precluded the emergence of a clear trend.

A further sharp spike in international crude oil prices due to a combination of factors and bullish dollar overseas trend ahead of Federal Reserve’s two-day policy meet kept trading sentiment little shaky.

The Indian currency dangerously slipped to a low of 72.96 in early trade -- within striking distance of its life-time low of 72.99 hit last week but managed to pare some losses on likely intervention from the central bank.

It briefly touched a high of 72.57 in mid-afternoon deals. The rupee has lost 49 paise in last two days.

Heavy dollar selling by banks and exporters along with greenbank’s weakness against some currencies overseas largely supplemented the recovery momentum.

size lender which would be stronger and sustainable.

Banks have stepped up efforts as far as recovery of bad loans is concerned.

Lenders have made recovery of Rs 36,551 crore in the first quarter of the current fiscal. This is 49 per cent higher than the same quarter of the last fiscal. During 2017-18, banks recovered Rs 74,562 crore.

Jaitley said the formalisation of the economy through the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), GST, demonetisation and digital payments have enabled better assessment of financial capacity and risks, and coupled with inclusive growth through massive financial inclusion, has unlocked purchasing power which will drive India’s growth. The finance min-

However, it has a much longer, 64-item list, (almost 11.7 per cent of tariff lines) for Pakistan and Sri Lanka, but which effectively applies only to Pakistan, because India applies a smaller sensitive list to Sri Lanka as part of a separate India-Sri Lanka Free Trade Agreement.

Items on the Indian sensitive list can be imported at the most-favoured-nation tariffs from any SAFTA country, including Pakistan, because India accorded Pakistan the status in 1996, soon after the accession of the two countries to the World Trade Organisation.

However, Pakistan has not granted India the mostfavoured-nation’s status or non-discriminatory market access.

In addition, the preferential access granted by Pakistan on 82.1 per cent of tariff lines under SAFTA is partially blocked in the case of India because Pakistan maintains a negative list comprising 1,209 items that cannot be imported from India.

In practice, many of these items are exported from India to Pakistan through a third country, usually the United Arab Emirates.

ister said that “this should help India sustain a growth rate of around 8 per cent”.

The GDP growth has been estimated at 8.2 per cent in the first quarter of the financial year.

While noting the positive results from the IBC mechanism, Jaitley also flagged the need to assess and revisit the efficacy of the Debts Recovery Tribunal (DRT) mechanism, particularly in view of long lead times in disposal of cases.

He underscored the requirement for expediting recovery through the DRT mechanism, so that their original objective of speedy recovery proceedings is realised, the release said.

“The Finance Minister noted that the perception regarding the health of PSBs has become more positive as banks have posted positive results in terms of resolution, recovery, provisioning and credit growth,” it said.

Jaitley said that the amendment of IBC to debar wilful defaulters has had the unintended positive consequence of defaulting borrowers stepping forward to make payment in order to participate in the resolution process.

Islamabad, Sep 25 (PTI): The trade potential between India and Pakistan stands at USD 37 billion, according to a World Bank report which said that continued political tensions and lack of normal trade relations between the two nations have cast a shadow over cooperation efforts within South Asia.

The report ‘A Glass Half Full: The Promise of Regional Trade in South Asia’, which was released on Monday, has highlighted among key factors, the long list of product restrictions in bilateral trade. India and Pakistan continue to maintain long, sensitive lists of items on which no tariff concessions are granted.

The lack of normal bilateral trade relations between the two countries affects the formation or deepening of regional valuechains in various high-value trading sectors, Dawn newspaper reported quoting the report.

Pakistan has a list of 936 items and almost 17.9 per cent of tariff lines that apply to imports from all South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA) countries.

India maintains a list of 25 items (0.5 per cent of tariff lines), which includes goods such as alcohol, fire-

New Delhi, Sep 25 (PTI): Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Tuesday asked public sector banks (PSBs) to take “effective action” in cases of fraud and wilful loan defaults, as he exuded confidence of achieving sustained economic growth rate of 8 per cent. The growing economy will also help banks grow in strength, he said at the annual review meeting of PSBs here.

Conversely, as the lifeline of the economy, banks would need to build their strength to support the lending needs of a growing economy, he added, according to an official release.

“At the same time”, he exhorted the banks “to ensure all steps at their end to ensure clean lending and effective action in cases of fraud and wilful default, to justify the trust reposed in banks. Banks must strive to be seen always as institutions of clean and prudent lending”.

The meeting is taking place in the backdrop of the ‘Alternative Mechanism’ (AM) deciding to merge three public sector banks -- Bank of Baroda, Vijaya Bank and Dena Bank -- with a view to create a global-

Swedish PM Lofven voted out by parliament STOCKHOLM, Sep 25 (Agencies): Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven lost a no-confidence vote in parliament on Tuesday and will step down after four years in power, but with neither major political bloc holding a majority it remained unclear who will form the next government.

Voters delivered a hung parliament in the September 9 election with Lofven’s center-left bloc garnering 144 seats, one more than the center-right opposition Alliance.

The anti-immigration Sweden Democrats, with 62 seats and shunned by all parties since entering parliament in 2010, backed the Alliance in the vote - an obligatory test of the prime minister’s parliamentary support after an election.

Analysts expect the speaker to pick Ulf Kristersson, leader of the biggest Alliance party, the Moderates, to try to form a new administration.

But lacking a majority, he needs support either from the Sweden Democrats, with roots in the white supremacist fringe, or the

Stefan Lofven center left.

“If the Alliance parties choose to try to govern as the smallest bloc, then they make themselves totally dependent on the Sweden Democrats,” Lofven said.

S we d e n D e m o c r a t leader Jimmie Akesson repeated on Tuesday his party wanted a say in policy as the price of supporting a new government.

“We will do everything in our power to stop any attempt to form a government, do everything to bring down every government, which does not give us a reasonable influence in proportion to our electoral support,” Akesson said.

The Alliance of the

Moderates, Centre, Liberal and Christian Democrats has said it will not negotiate with the Sweden Democrats, who want to freeze immigration and have called for a new vote on membership of the European Union.

Lofven ruled out backing an Alliance government, leaving politics deadlocked.

“I want to continue to lead the country as prime minister,” he said. “I want to lead a government that has broader support in the country’s parliament and that allows us to leave stalemate of bloc politics.”

The speaker has four goes at finding a new government and if the stalemate continues, Sweden will hold another election within three months. With a new vote unlikely to change the situation much, some kind of compromise is likely to be thrashed out.

A number of party combinations have been suggested, but all would have a heavy political cost and a deal is could take weeks.

Lofven will lead a transition government until a new administration is installed.

international AU, Somali forces kill 35 AlShabaab militants Mogadishu, Sep 25 (IANS): At least 35 AlShabaab militants have been killed and several others injured after an exchange of fire between Somali national army, backed by African Union forces, and the militants in Somalia’s Qoryoley town. One Somali soldier was killed and two others injured during heavy fighting with the militants overnight, Qoryoley Deputy Governor Abdi Ahmed Ali told reporters on Monday.

“Our forces killed 35 Al-Shabaab militants and injured several others after defeating the enemy who attacked the town,” Ali said, Xinhua news agency reported. “We have collected their bodies to bury now.”

“We had prior intelligence that the terrorists are going to attack us and this caused more casualties on the enemy side,” he said.

Al-Shabaab has not yet commented on Ali’s statement. The group, however, claimed to have carried out mortar attacks on bases of the Somali national army and the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) near Barawo, a town in the same region.

Labour Party open to second Brexit referendum

Keir Starmer on course to fail these tests.

“Everybody recognises the talks are going badly and it looks as though we’re heading for a bad deal or even no deal,” he told BBC TV. “We, the Labour Party, are going to vote down a bad deal or we’re going to vote down no deal because that is not good for our country nor is it what people voted for.”

In a speech to his party’s annual conference later, Starmer will say the Conservative government does

not have a credible plan for Brexit, and that there is no majority in parliament for May’s so-called “Chequers” proposals, which envisage close ties with the EU in the trade of goods.

Labour could play a decisive role in whether any Brexit deal is approved by parliament. May has a working majority of just 13 in the 650-seat parliament and a former junior minister said this month as many as 80 of her own lawmakers were prepared to vote against a Brexit deal based on the Chequers proposals.

But like the governing Conservatives and much of the country, Labour is split over how to leave the bloc, with its veteran eurosceptic leader, Jeremy Corbyn, under pressure from many members to move to a more pro-EU position.

Labour’s conference will vote later on Tuesday on keeping a second Brexit referendum as an option if

May fails to get her Brexit plan through parliament, heaping pressure on the struggling prime minister.

In the published motion which the Labour conference will debate later on Tuesday, the party again set out is position on Brexit - it wants full participation in the EU’s single market after Brexit and will reject a “no deal Brexit”. If talks with the EU fail or parliament rejects a deal May brings back, Labour would firstly seek a new general election.

If there is no possibility for one, Labour “must support all options remaining on the table, including campaigning for a public vote”, the motion says.

Trump inks trade deal with S Korea Washington, Sep 25 (PTI): US President Donald Trump on Monday inked his administration’s first trade deal with South Korea, which he described as “a historic milestone” and a promise fulfilled to his countrymen.

“The new US-Korea agreement includes significant improvements to reduce our trade deficit and expand opportunities to export American products to South Korea,” Trump told reporters at the signing ceremony in New York on the sidelines of the annual United Nations General Assembly.

Describing it as a “very big deal” and a great day for the two countries, Trump said these outcomes give the finest American-made automobiles, innovative medicines and agricultural crops a much better access to Korean markets. “I think our farmers are going to be extremely happy. It was very limited as to what they could do and what they could send. And now, it is an open market and they are going to be sending a lot more farm products. That makes me feel very good,” he said.

Trump said as a part of the agreement, the US has also secured an increased

access to America’s auto industry.

According to the US Trade Representatives, since the US-Korea Free Trade Agreement (KORUS) came into effect in 2012, the US trade deficit in goods with Korea increased by 75 per cent from USD 13.2 billion to USD 23.1 billion (2017), while the overall deficit increased by 57 per cent from USD 6.3 billion to USD 9.8 billion (2017).

“Through negotiations to improve KORUS, the United States has secured changes that will reduce the trade deficit and ensure that KORUS is a good deal for American workers, farmers and businesses,” it said, adding that the US achieved

important steps to improve the large trade deficit in industrial goods and address the KORUS implementation concerns that have hindered American export growth.

Trump said the agreement will reduce bureaucracy and increase prosperity in both the countries. Workers in the US and South Korea will find new customers and new opportunities to expand and grow. “Our teams will be working hard to ensure that the terms of the deal are fully implemented,” he said.

South Korean President Moon Jae-In said the free trade agreement between the two countries is significant in the sense that it expands the alliance to the economic realm as well.

China congratulated the Maldives for holding successful elections. “We respect Maldives people’s choice and we hope the country can maintain stability and development,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang said.

“As to the FTA signed between China and the Maldives, we believe we have always encouraged the Chinese to invest and operate in accordance with the market-based rules and the regulations. And we hope the Maldives will maintain consistency and stability of their policy and create an enabling environment and atmosphere for the Chinese operation there,” Geng added.

on poster ‘Star Wars’ producer Gary Kurtz dead Kelly Clarkson praises Carrie Underwood Towithsee myself Big B,a dream come true: Aamir Khan K S elly Clarkson is praising fellow “American Idol” champion Carrie Underwood for breaking her silence about her difficult path to pregnancy.

Underwood, 35, recently revealed she suffered three separate miscarriages before getting pregnant with her second child.

The country superstar admitted to getting “mad” about the ordeal during an interview with “CBS Sunday Morning” that aired Sept. 16.

Clarkson thanked Underwood for sharing her struggles — and congratulated her on her pregnancy with baby No. 2.

“I’m so happy for her,” Clarkson told Entertainment Tonight on Saturday, “cause I didn’t know a lot of the situations that were going on behind the scenes,

and I have a lot of friends that have gone through that several times as well.”

“And that’s just - it’s a really cool thing [she did],” Clarkson, 36, added. “I was emailing her, because I was like, ‘It’s so important that you talk about it.’”

Clarkson acknowledged talking about a miscarriage isn’t easy, but it’s important to break the stigma around the topic.

The singer, however,

said discussing the topic “makes women that feel inferior, or feel like something’s wrong with them, it makes them feel comfortable, and that that people go through it.”

Clarkson called the experience “a really hardcore thing as a woman.”

In the CBS interview, Underwood admitted she was heartbroken when multiple pregnancies “didn’t work out.”

“I kind of planned that 2017 was, you know, going to be the year that I work on new music, and I have a baby,” she said. “We got pregnant early 2017, and it didn’t work out.”

The star revealed she got pregnant again in the spring, but that time also didn’t work out.

“Got pregnant again, early 2018. Didn’t work out.

So, at that point, it was just kind of like, ‘Okay, like, what’s the deal? What is all of this?’”

At one point in the interview, Underwood shared she got pregnant a fourth time and prayed when she felt she was losing another baby.

Fortunately, when she went to the doctor the following day, she was given a clean bill of health both for herself and the baby.

uperstar Aamir Khan, who is gearing up for the release of “Thugs Of Hindostan”, says it is a dream come true for him to share space on a poster with megastar Amitabh Bachchan.

“To see myself on a poster with Mr.Bachchan is a dream come true for me. I still can’t believe it,” Aamir tweeted on Tuesday.

He shared a poster featuring all four key characters of the movie. Apart from Aamir and Amitabh, the movie stars Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh.

This film will mark the first time Aamir and Amitabh will be seen sharing screen space together. The mega action adventure by Yash Raj Films is set to releases on November 8. (IANS)

Paris, Sep 25 (Agencies): France World Cup star Kylian Mbappe will sit out one further league game for Paris Saint-Germain after losing an appeal against a three-match suspension Monday.

M b a p p e, 1 9 , wa s handed the sanction for lashing out in retaliation at Teji Savanier during a feisty 4-2 win at Nimes on September 1. Savanier was handed a four-match ban for his role in the incident, a sanction that was also confirmed following appeals by both players, the French Football Federation (FFF) announced.

Mbappe, who is being tipped to win the prestigious Ballon d’Or award in December, notably on account of his performances for Les Bleus in Russia last summer, has served two of his three matches so far. He sat out a 4-0 home win over Saint Etienne and again on Sunday as PSG beat Rennes 3-1 away to reinforce their lead at the top of the table.

Mbappe will sit out PSG’s next league outing, at home to Reims on Wednesday, and will be eligible to return for PSG’s trip to Nice on Saturday. He did play and score in PSG’s Champions League defeat at Liverpool last Tuesday as the suspension does not cover European games.
