NSCN-IM rejects Centre's alleged mining move in Nagaland

GUWAHATI: The National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN-IM) on March 21 reasserted the Nagas claim over land resources rejecting the Centres alleged move for mining in Nagaland. Addressing Nagas on the occasion of the 46th Naga Republic Day celebration at Hebron, NSCN-IM chairman Q Tuccu said the central government has long set its sights on the Nagas natural wealth. For quite a long period, the government of India has been casting covetous eyes to explore our natural wealth, mainly petroleum but under no circumstances shall we allow our mineral wealth to be exploited by our aggressor as they refused to respect the political rights of the Naga people, the NSCN-IM leader said. He reacted sharply to the Centres 'new attempt' to 'intrude into our sovereign ownership rights' in Nagalands Mokokchung district to explore, drill oil and extract petroleum stating that India is simply testing nerves without respecting history and culture. By our Naga culture, we are possessive of our God-given wealth with a strong attachment to our national identity that provides a sense of legacy and pride as Gods chosen people, Tuccu said. He applauded the stance taken by the Ao Naga community for courageously stating that the exploration of petroleum belongs to them and not to the Indian government. Let us be grateful to God as Nagas were bestowed with rich natural wealth. This demanded from us to tread very cautiously by not allowing others to take away our God-given sovereign wealth, the NSCN-IM leader said. Meanwhile, Tuccu alleged that it was the Centre and not the NSCN-IM that delayed the solution to the Naga political issue. For more than 27 years when Indo-Naga political talks started, India has gone deep into playing divisive politics to keep the Nagas divided on factional lines. The truth is India wants to lessen the weight of NSCN in the negotiation table for Naga political solution, Tuccu said. For this very purpose, Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) were created to counterweight the NSCNs prized possession, the Framework Agreement of 3rd August 2015 using the Agreed Position of NNPGs. India wants to confuse the Nagas through Agreed Position, he alleged. NNPGs are a conglomerate of various extremist groups. The Naga Republic Day was also celebrated in Manipurs Ukhrul district. The event was organised by the Tangkhul Katamnao Saklong. Students from various schools were among those who participated.

Centre following principles of Major Khathing who integrated Tawang into India, says Rajnath

NEW DELHI: Addressing the fifth edition of the Major Bob Khathing Memorial event jointly organised by the Indian Army, Assam Rifles and United Services Institution of India (USI) here to honour the life and legacy of the legendary figure, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said the government's foreign policy is based on the diplomatic skills of personalities like him. Today, India is maintaining a balance between its hard power and soft power amidst the prevailing uncertainties in the multipolar world. It is a matter of great pride that India has strengthened its global position. A new, strong and organised India has emerged before the world. There was a time when India was not taken seriously on international forums. But today, when we speak, the world listens. This is inspired by the ideals of Major Khathing, he said. As per the USI in 1951, Major Khathing led a mission to Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh, effectively integrating it into India by establishing administrative control and securing peace. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has called upon the people to always put the nation first, remain united, discharge the duties with honesty, and move fearlessly towards achieving their goals, which were the core principles of Major Bob Khathing, an extraordinary figure who made invaluable contributions to the North-East region and national security. The Defence Minister commended Major Khathing's role in integrating, developing and rebuilding not only Tawang but the entire North-East region. Major Bob Khathing made a significant contribution in strengthening national unity. The work he carried out for the North-East is similar to what Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel did at the national level, he said. The Defence Minister added that Major Bob Khathing efficiently carried out the integration of Tawang into India without firing a single bullet, and the government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, follows the principles of such revolutionaries. Rajnath Singh highlighted the administrative proficiency of Major Khathing, especially his contribution in the formation of Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) & Nagaland Armed Police and other such reforms. Rajnath Singh expressed satisfaction over the fact that India is touching greater heights due to the organisational skills imbibed from personalities like Major Khathing. He stressed on the need to remain organised for India to transform into Viksit Bharat by 2047. It was in October 2024 that the Defence Minister had virtually inaugurated the Major Ralengnao 'Bob' Khathing 'Museum of Valour' in Tawang. Rajnath Singh lauded the will and courage of the residents of the North-East region who continue to contribute to nation building despite living in challenging conditions. During the event, Rajnath Singh visited a specially curated photo gallery showcasing Major Bob Khathing's remarkable achievements and enduring legacy. He also attended the screening of a film depicting the pivotal moments of Major Khathing's life and service. The event was also attended by Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu, Member of Parliament Alfred Kanngam Arthur, Chief of the Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi, Chief of the Air Staff Air Chief Marshal AP Singh, Director General Assam Rifles Lt Gen Vikas Lakhera and DG, USI Maj Gen BK Sharma (Retd). A keynote address titled 'Deciphering Implications of Major Bob Khathing's Expedition to Tawang' was delivered by former DG, Assam Rifles Lt Gen PC Nair (Retd). His address provided deep insights into the strategic ramifications of Major Khathing's expedition and its lasting impact on national security. John Khathing, son of Major Bob Khathing, shared heartfelt reminiscences about his father's remarkable life and legacy, adding a personal dimension to the commemoration. The event also featured vibrant cultural performances by troupes showcasing the rich and diverse heritage of North-East.

In contrast, BJPs Nirmal Kumar Dhara from Indus, West Bengal, has the lowest declared assets, amounting to just 1,700. The report, based on self-sworn affidavits submitted before elections, analyzed 4,092 MLAs across 28 State Assemblies and three Union Territories.

(INC, Karnataka) 648 crore 10 Least Wealthy MLAs On the other end of the spectrum, several MLAs declared assets below 1 lakh, with the lowest being Nirmal Kumar Dhara: Nirmal Kumar Dhara (BJP, West Bengal) 1,700 Narinder Pal Singh Sawna (AAP, Punjab) 18,370 Narinder Kaur Bharaj (AAP, Punjab) 24,409 Mehraj Malik (AAP, Jammu & Kashmir) 29,070 Pundarikakshya Saha (AITC, West Bengal) 30,423 Anil Kumar Anil Pradhan (SP, Uttar Pradesh) 30,496 Sanjali Murmu (BJP, Odisha) 35,076 Chandana Bauri (BJP, West Bengal) 62,296 Nandita Debbarma (Tipra Motha, Tripura) 63,000 Ramvriksh Sada (RJD, Bihar) 70,000 Key Highlights from the Report Southern states dominate the list of wealthiest MLAs, with Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh accounting for a majority. BJP has both the richest and the poorest MLA in the country. The financial disparity among MLAs is stark, with a gap of over 3,382 crore between the wealthiest and least wealthy legislators. The ADR study, based on self-sworn affidavits submitted before elections, analyzed financial disclosures of 4,092 MLAs from 28 State Assemblies and three Union Territories. The report excluded 24 MLAs due to unreadable affidavits and did not cover seven vacant assembly seats. Andhra Pradesh Dominates Wealthiest MLAs List, Four in Top 10, Seven in Top 20 Andhra Pradesh tops the list the most high-net-worth legislators, with four MLAs among India's top 10 wealthiest and seven in the top 20, according to a report by the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR). Among the top 10 richest MLAs, Andhra Pradesh is represented by: N. Chandrababu Naidu (TDP, Kuppam) 931 crore Ponguru Narayana (TDP, Nellore City) 824 crore Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy (YSRCP, Pulivendla) 757 crore V. Prashanthi Reddy (TDP, Kovur) 716 crore. Additionally, three more legislators from Andhra Pradesh feature in the top 20, including: Nara Lokesh (TDP, Mangalagiri) 542 crore Yeluri Sambasiva Rao (TDP, Parchur) 295 crore Lokam Naga Madhavi (Janasena, Nellimarla) 291 crore The MLA with the lowest declared assets in Andhra Pradesh is Aithabathula Anandarao (TDP, Amalapuram SC), who has total assets worth 5.79 crore Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Maharashtra alone account for 76 of India's 119 billionaire legislators, highlighting the increasing financial power of elected representatives. Among the three, Karnataka holds the highest total assets among its MLAs, with a staggering 14,179 crore. Maharashtra follows with 12,424 crore, while Andhra Pradesh stands at 11,323 crore. Despite Karnataka leading in total assets, Andhra Pradesh surpasses both states in average assets per MLA, with each legislator in the state owning an average of 65.07 crorethe highest in India. Karnataka closely follows with an average of 63.58 crore per MLA, while Maharashtra trails at 43.44 crore.

Karnataka ranks second with 31 billionaire MLAs, accounting for 14% of its legislators, while Maharashtra has 18 billionaire MLAs, making up just 6% of its assembly. This suggests that wealth among MLAs in Andhra Pradesh is concentrated among fewer individuals, whereas in Karnataka, wealth is more widely spread. Tripura, Manipur, and Puducherry have the least wealthy MLAs Tripura, Manipur, and Puducherry have the lowest total assets among MLAs in India. Tripura ranks at the bottom, with its 60 MLAs declaring a total wealth of just 90 crore, followed by Manipur with 222 crore across 59 MLAs and Puducherry with 297 crore among 30 MLAs. In terms of average assets per MLA, Tripura again records the lowest figure at 1.51 crore, followed by West Bengal at 2.80 crore and Kerala at 3.13 crore.

This combined wealth surpasses the annual budgets of Nagaland (23,086 crore), Tripura (26,892 crore), and Meghalaya (22,022 crore) put together. BJP, INC, and TDP lead in MLA wealth, YSRCP has highest average per legislator The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) holds the highest total assets among MLAs in India, with 1,653 legislators declaring a combined wealth of 26,270 crore, giving an average of 15.89 crore per MLA, according to the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) report.

Manipur cases to be tried in Guwahati: SC

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday said the trial of the Manipur ethnic violence cases, probed by the CBI, would be conducted in Assam capital Guwahati, where they were transferred to earlier. We clarify that the trial of transferred Cases will be held before the courts at Guwahati, a three-judge bench, headed by Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna, said and posted the matter for further hearing to July 21. The apex court also extended till July 31 the tenure of a committee headed by Justice Gita Mittal, the former chief justice of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court. The committee, also comprising former Bombay HC judge Shalini P Joshi and former Delhi HC judge Asha Menon, was set up on August 7, 2023 by the top court to oversee relief and rehabilitation of the Manipur ethnic violence victims. During the hearing on Monday, the apex court also directed the Manipur government to provide details such as buildings burnt or partially burnt, buildings looted, buildings trespassed or encroached upon. The bench noted the submissions of a lawyer over the fate of the trials in the cases that were transferred to Guwahati for pre-trial proceedings on August 25, 2023. Keeping in mind the overall environment in Manipur and the need for ensuring a fair process of criminal justice administration, the SC transferred to Assam 27 cases with various offences, including the case of sexual assault of two women seen in a viral video being paraded naked. While passing directions, the top court had directed the Gauhati High Court chief justice to nominate one or more judicial officers to deal with the transferred cases. It also asked the state government to respond to the issue of release of funds for temporary and permanent housing as flagged by the judges panel.

Supreme Court gives three months to Centre for delimitation exercise in northeast

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday granted three months to the Centre for carrying out the delimitation exercise in Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur and Assam. A bench headed by Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna noted the request of Centre's solicitor general Tushar Mehta, who sought some more time. The bench then deferred the hearing to July 21 and asked the Centre to do the needful within three months. The top court had previously raised concerns over the delay in carrying out the delimitation exercise in these states despite a 2020 presidential order rescinding the deferment of the process. Once the president rescinds the notification, that is enough to proceed with the delimitation exercise. Where does the government come in? the bench asked as it told the Centre's counsel to seek instructions. The Centre said while consultations were underway for Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland, the ongoing violence in Manipur made the situation unconducive. The bench was hearing a plea filed by the Delimitation Demand Committee for the State of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur and Nagaland in North East India. The plea sought immediate implementation of the delimitation exercise in these states. Advocate G Gangmei, representing the petitioner, had said the President's 2020 order made the exercise legally mandatory. He said two years had passed since the writ petition was filed, but no concrete steps were taken to initiate delimitation in Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, and Manipur. Assam alone saw progress, with delimitation completed in August 2023 following an order from the Ministry of Law and Justice, Gangmei added. The Election Commission of India maintained that specific directions from the Central government were required to begin delimitation under Section 8A of the Representation of the People Act, 1950. The petition cited the presidential order of February 28, 2020, which allowed delimitation in the four northeastern states, along with the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. It alleged selective denial of delimitation in these states, claiming a violation of the fundamental right to equality under Article 14 of the Constitution. The plea highlighted that despite decades of elections being conducted peacefully in these states, no delimitation took place since the amendment of the Delimitation Act in 2002. The lack of action left the northeastern states at a disadvantage compared to the rest of the country, it added.

Northeast is experiencing peace today, under BJP's tenure: Amit Shah at ABVP event

NEW DELHI: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said that the most significant achievement of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government has been to reduce the distance between the Northeast and the rest of the country. Addressing an event organised by Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) for students from the northeast in the national capital, Shah said, By 2027, every capital of the Northeast will be connected by train, plane, and road. The Minister also highlighted achievements made in restoring peace in the region. He said, There has been a significant reduction in violence across the region under the BJPs tenure. Violent incidents decreased by 70 percent from 11,000 cases between 2004 and 2014 to 3,428 between 2014 and 2024. Security force fatalities have also dropped by 70 percent, while civilian deaths have reduced by 89 percent over the past decade. Crediting these achievements to various peace pacts entered into by insurgent groups with the governments at the centre and in the states, Shah said, We have signed 12 major accords with various armed groups in the Northeast over the last 10 years. The Northeast is experiencing peace today. Be it Meghalaya, Arunachal, Assam, Nagaland, or Mizoram, we have signed agreements with all armed groups, and more than 10,500 insurgents have laid down their arms and joined the mainstream. The Home Minister commended PM Modis leadership, praising his dedicated focus on the Northeasts development and peace, as he also emphasised that stability is essential for progress, and he has prioritised this region with consistent efforts and has made 78 visits to the region (excluding Assam) since he assumed power at the Centre. Detailing the development plans in the region, Shah said, there is going to be a semiconductor plant worth Rs 2,700 crore in Assam and an overall investment of Rs 2.5 lakh crore in the region. He assured the youth that within the next decade, employment opportunities would be abundant, reducing the need for people to migrate for work. Shah also assured the youth that within the next 10 years, no child or youth from the region would need to leave for work elsewhere, as employment opportunities would be available within the Northeast.
