Adil Hussain supports freedom of artists at launch of NorthEast India Travel Guide

Guwahati 19 April 2013: Eminent actor Adil Hussain today appealed to rise above linguistic differences and avoid imposing dictating terms to artists at different points by different organisations in the state. In reference to the ULFA demanding artists to refrain from performing Hindi songs at Bihu functions, Adil Hussain said that rather than the language, it is the content of the song that separates a good song from a bad one. He also appealed to the ULFA to reconsider their demand, and work towards the larger cause of upliftment of the people during an event to launch the ‘Northeast India Travel Guide’ today at Guwahati Press Club.

Press Release – Adil Hussain supports freedom of artists at launch of NorthEast India Travel Guide

Adil Hussain today formally unveiled the ‘Northeast India Travel Guide’ in presence of media and other guests along with Tanushree Hazarika, Managing Director and Gaurav Gogoi, Director, Eclectic Publications. Sharing his experience and requirement of the much needed travel guide Adil Hussain said “It has happened to me many a time in the past that when my friends from outside want to visit Assam, I am usually at a loss to tell them where to go and what to do. There was no tangible source available to me so I could recommend my friends from outside the state and out of the country the best places to see and provide tips on food and lodging. So, the launch of this travel guide is a big boost for people who want to experience the beauty of the Northeast but are unable to do so because of the lack of information provided to them. I want to congratulate the Eclectic group on the great endeavour that they have undertaken into the making of this travel guide”.

Northeast India’s premier publication house, Eclectic Publications, had undertaken thorough research among travellers to the region over a year and on the basis of responses from the industry associations, 20 such destinations have been selected and complied in the form of ‘Northeast India Travel Guide’.These destinations were selected keeping in mind the diversity they can offer and representative value of the region. The travel guide is very descriptive with photographs, travel and accommodation details of each place to support travellers.The travel guide also includes off beat destinations like Jatinga in Assam and Keibul Lamjao in Manipur.

IMPHAL, April 16: A public meeting organized by several political parties of the state was held at the office complex of Shiv Sena Manipur State at Sagolband Tera Yengkhom Leirak Machin today.

The meeting foccused on crimes against women and children, rape, violence against women, corruption and intoxicants and their consequences to the society happening in the state and was participated by representatives of Communist Party of India, Manipur Peoples’ Party, Manipur State Congress Party, Janata Dal (United), Communist Party of India (Manipur), All India Trinamool Congress, Shiv Sena Manipur State, Bahujan Samaj Party, Janata Dal (Secular) and Forward Bloc.

Several political parties of the state held a public meeting at the office complex of Shiv Sena Manipur State at Sagolband Tera Yengkhom Leirak Machin on Tuesday

Speaking at the meeting, Kh Gyaneshor, Secretary of Forward Bloc said due to the high frequency of crime and violence in the state, the people have been facing mental trauma with no proper and timely conclusion being arrived at in such cases so far.

He also spoke about issues of education, daily wage, drug, employment in the state, crime against women and children, manipulation of PDS item etc and said that these are caused by failure in the governance, and said that social correction for the people and political correction is required.

There are no means other than building a strong movement. People, political parties and media are appealed to cooperate and support to bring about a peaceful, healthy, harmonious and progressive society, he continued.

During the occasion, Dr L Chandramani Singh, Advisor of MPP said there is no administration in the state and people do whatever they want. “The meeting is being organized to bring back the focus on administration and to unite and save Manipur. The issues that we see today have to be faced with unity and without the participation of people, we will be unable to build a movement,” he said.

Dr M Nara Singh, Secretary CPI said the meeting was being organized to discuss the various crimes prevailing in the state. The present era has turned into a stage where people are wandering here and there with no one to guide them. This has been caused by mistakes in handling the administration of the state, he said.

The government has forgotten its role to safeguard the law, people’s life and property. There is a need for changing the present system which is a form of neo-liberalism. There is a need for social democratic revolution, he added.

“It is shocking that the government hospitals would be privatized by converting them to Private Public Partnership (PPP) model. When asked about the matter, the Health Minister replied that the government has not been maintaining the hospitals properly and so it will be handed over to the private sector. If the government could not maintain the hospitals then why don’t he resign from his post as a Minister?”, he asked.

N Sobhakiran, President MPP; Iboyaima Luwang, Advisor Shiv Sena Manipur State; LM Haokip, Vice Persident JD (U); M Rabei, Advisor AITC; and Sarat Salam, State Secretary CPI (M) also spoke during the meeting.

GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION ON MILITARY SPENDING

Cut Military Spending, Fund Human Need

New Delhi, 15 April 2013: Over 100 organisations all over the world came together for the Global Day of Action on Military Spending. This coordinated global effort constitutes a civil society movement for change.

Control Arms Foundation of India & Manipur Women Gun Survivors Network Organised an awareness programme to join the “Global Day of Action on Military Spending: Cut Military Spending, Fund Human Need” 15 April 2013 , The venue of the event are Raj Ghat, India Gate and Dilli Hatt, New Delhi. On this day, people of India join the world demanding that their governments reduce military spending and devote those precious resources to pressing human needs. They sent a message that $1.5 trillion is too much.. Developing nations like India continue to be the primary importers of arms. Between 2000 and 2007 India ranked world’s second largest arms importer accounting for 7.5 percent of all major weapons transfers. Now in 2013, India has now emerged as the largest arms importer in the world, overtaking China. India accounted for 9% of all international arms imports between 2006-2013, making it the world`s largest weapons importer.

Global Day of Action on Military Spending Campaign at Raj Ghat on 15 April 2013

The Awarness programme was started from Raj Ghat and ended at Dilli Haat; during the event more than 200 fliers were distributed to the general public and explain about the millitary expenditure. Later we have submitted a memorandum to Prime Minister of India and Union Defence Minister. We call upon government of India and South Asia to:

1. To cut military expenditure and the saved fund to be deployed towards combating and providing social security.

2. Call upon governments in South Asia to support the Mine Ban Treaty and the Convention on Cluster Munitions.

3. Take the lead in international humanitarian disarmament which was the pillar of India’s Foreign Policy in 1950s and 1960s

The most important social aspect is human security which is often threatened by the insecurity caused by poverty. When people are dying of poverty, can security and arms provide them with a basic square meal? In a country where poverty is rampant and where there is great deal to be done in the fields of health and education, we cannot be spending so much on defence. Our battle is against starvation and deprivation, which cannot be fought with guns and missiles.

The post Reviving “The Beatles” thru Cadence, Reha?b, Legame Di Voci appeared first on KanglaOnline.com.

KOHIMA, Apr 15 (NEPS): The love of music in the “Land of Festivals” never dies. The “music” is a blend to the Nagas. Again the state capital is going to witness very rare music events this time in the form of reviving and bringing back memories of eternal “songs” of famed “The Beatles” under the theme – “The Beatles Mania” – at The Heritage (Old DC Bungalow), Kohima on April 27 at 4:00 PM.

With the current fad and fashion in the music industries, the value and beauty of the old music is slowly diminishing, said Theja Kire, a member of “Aspire” which organizes the “unique show.” With the view of presenting the Beatles in three different shades of music, the most popular and the most sung Beatles numbers will be presented by 3 bands – Legame Di Voci, Rahab and Cadence, said Kire. “Their performances will be unique to each other,” he further added.

Dr. Neikiesalie Kire, Parliamentary Secretary for Law and Justice, Land Revenue and Labor and Employment, himself not only a great music lover but also avid singer, will grace this “Events.” The Aspire Team also welcomes everyone to this evening show to listen and dine with the memories of the days past.

A student’s life after 12th standard is full of choices when it comes to building a career, thus stranded in a crossroad they are full of dilemma. Which course or which college to choose is one of the toughest decisions one had to take. Again, lucrativeness of the career and job prospects also plays an important role in decision making. This crucial phase affects their life many years down the line. Therefore, with the vast increase in the number of career options available nowadays, students need to figure out what all are the courses available, which colleges provide which courses, which field suits them the best among all the fields they are good at, how much it all cost, what about the future prospects, etc. Students need to evaluate their interests, skills, strengths, potentials, advantages and weaknesses. Some students already decide their careers even before they enter class 10 which might not be the best career for them as they are not exposed to and are unaware of the other opportunities out there, thus missing out what would actually have been best suited for them. Many follow the herd mentality influenced by their peers and simply follow trends. Just because someone else took the course or their parents want them to take up a course, students should not go for it. Choosing the right career is very important for an individual. An individual spends a considerable amount of time doing his job, so loving one’s work becomes important for personal and professional satisfaction and happiness. Some follows their line of interest even though they came from a different academic career.

At such a turning point, education fair comes as a help and rescue from all such dilemmas. Education fair represents one of the most efficient ways of meeting large numbers of renowned Institutions and Universities which assists students through their representatives in choosing the right field. Delegates from Top Universities will be present, for ON –THE – SPOT Offers, interactions, counseling and admission. Student queries about courses, facilities, placements, activities, hostel, scholarships, loans etc., will be fully acknowledged. Reference materials regarding programs, admission procedures, etc would be displayed. Basically, the purpose of such education fair is to,

Bring students and parents face-to-face with representatives from various accredited and recognized Colleges, Universities and Institutes
Gather valuable information about potential Institutes
Discuss future plans directly with the delegates
Ask questions about college, admissions, academic programs, etc.
Save all your time and headaches
Eliminate wastage of energy by coordinating with multiple different Universities
Provide and highlight the most up-to-date and relevant educational programs available today
Provide guidelines, counseling and a forum for adults to make informed decisions of their future education endeavors
Institution and University profile distributed to all fair-goers
Provide one-on-one opportunities for Students, Parents, Guardians, Career Guidance and the General Public to gather available Career opportunities in India and overseas.
It is the one of the efficient means of promoting higher education in Manipur.
It promotes Tourism Industry in a wider scale and we get an honor to showcase Manipur from a larger point of view across the Country.

Thus, Education fair in a nut shell serves both i.e., the Student Community, the Education Provider and the law maker.

Edu- XPO is a great platform organized by LRSINDIA that primarily aids in the development and advancement of the educational sector of the state of Manipur. Held twice a year since 2010, this time it is scheduled to be held in Nupi Lal Complex in Imphal on 8-10th April 2013 and 9th & 10th June 2013 from 10 am onwards till 6 pm.

By way of this event, along with the education sector, the overall economic improvement initiative of the state of Manipur will get a positive direction. It offers a great opportunity to the law makers to get candid feedback on new strategies that they are planning to implement for the betterment of the educational sector of the region. The event also helps the attendees to connect with each other and gather relevant information about various educational institutions not only from India but also overseas under one roof. Participated by representatives from renowned Universities all over India, it is the biggest and most sought after education expo of Manipur. It brings together all students, parents and government agencies related to education in one platform. Edu-Xpo also offers a great opportunity to the exhibitors to explore the market and enhance their business opportunities. This event will play a major role in curbing the outflow of young talents from Manipur to other states of India by way of bringing to the fore the development plans that the state is trying to devise in order to give better education as well as employment to the youth.

PRESS RELEASE

Dated Tahamzam, 7th April, 2013

The first leg of the United Naga Council(UNC) political tour in Naga areas was undertaken in Chamdil(Chandel) district in association with the Chandel Naga Peoples’ Organisation and the 7 constituent tribes councils of the region from the 5th to 7th April, 2013. The political tour was carried out mainly with a view to study the socio-economic conditions of the Nagas which is weakening by the day and to verify the tall claims made by the Government of Manipur on schemes/projects submitted in the tripartite talk as development initiatives taken up by them in tribal areas. Interactions were held with village chiefs and social leaders across the district and the common refrain was the loss of hope for a future with dignity on all fronts under the communal Government of Manipur.

UNC political tour – Joint meeting with frontal organisations at MACA Hall, Chamdil(Chandel)

The touring team also discussed issues on the proposed Chakpi River Multi Purpose project with members of the Committee Against the construction of Chakpi Dam. The anti-people development aggression of the Government of Manipur which would uproot thousands of indigenous tribals from their own lands was the shared concern and such incursion without the free, prior and informed consent of the people should be resisted with all possible means.

The tour programme concluded with a joint meeting with frontal organisations including the Naga Women’s Union Chandel, Nagas Student’s Union Chandel, the Tribe Councils, the Chandel Naga People’s Organisation and several social leaders The contours of the tripartite talk process on the demand for an alternative arrangement outside the Government of Manipur was highlighted in the joint meeting which also emphasised on the need to be organised and be in continued preparedness for taking forward the people’s movement to its logical conclusion.

33 Kv Sub station at Saluk, Chakpikarong reported as 50% completed.

The abduction of Mr. H. Khangba, President of the Thangal Naga Union by an armed group was strongly condemned in the joint meeting. The meeting took strong exception to the irreverence for the respected office of a tribe social organisation and urged all peace loving people to condemn the act so that such abominable deeds do not occur in the future.

The entire tour programme was hosted by the Lamkang Naga Union.

Talking to NEPS here at his office chamber Friday, the Speaker disclosed that there were no recreational facilities, no proper security gate, and no shopping facilities for the legislators, Assembly officers and staffs and their family members who are staying in their residential quarters here in the Assembly Complex. “There is also no schooling facility especially for their children either,” he added.

“As soon as I took over the reign of the post of the Speaker of the Assembly, I have studied the essential and immediate requirements for the legislators, Assembly officers and staffs and their family members who are staying here in their respective quarters near the Assembly,” Sazo said. “The problem is they are staying quite far from the towns.”

The Speaker said he had been seriously contemplating to provide a “shopping mall, multi-purpose hall and other recreational facilities at the earliest,” so that legislators and the Assembly officers and staffs and their family members should not have hassles of going to towns which are far away from their residential quarters. At the same time, they would also develop a healthy and peaceful lifestyles during their stay here, he narrated.

“We have also already proposed to establish a school here so that children of the legislators, officers and staffs of the Assembly will not worry for their children,”

Sazo stated. “My main intention is I wanted to give them comfortable and peaceful stay in these areas and also live like others.”

North-East Students’ Protest Reaches the Gates of HRD Ministry.

Students’ Seek Intervention from HRD Ministry Against Imposition of Hindi Language Course by DU

Today a large number of students from different communities of the North-East and concerned individuals gheraoed the HRD ministry. This protest was organized by NEFIS (North-East Forum for International Solidarity) along with a number of other progressive organizations and individuals. We also submitted a memorandum (a copy of which is attached herewith) to the ministry of HRD Ministry, stating our concerns and demanding its immediate intervention to stop imposition of a compulsory Hindi language/Modern Indian Language (MIL) course by Delhi University (DU). This protest at the HRD Ministry has been preceded by three protests by north-east students at the University level. A delegation of 5 students met with Senior Secretary of Higher Education in the HRD Ministry, who received the memorandum saying that he had already been instructed by the HRD Minister to look into the issue “positively”.

Students’ Seek Intervention from HRD Ministry Against Imposition of Hindi Language Course by DU

In the coming academic year Delhi University administration is going to introduce a new syllabus according to which it would become compulsory for students of all courses to do a foundational course during the first year of their graduation. In this foundation course they would be required to opt for a language which would either be Hindi or one of the Modern Indian languages (MILs). It is our opinion that the compulsory imposition of Hindi and other MILs would cause immense hardships for the students who belong to communities that speak neither Hindi nor one of the MILs. There would be problems even for the communities that speak MILs like Manipuri, Assamese, etc. because the infrastructure and faculty strength for teaching these languages is inadequate to be able to cover the whole of university.

Students’ Seek Intervention from HRD Ministry Against Imposition of Hindi Language Course by DU

This imposition of a compulsory language course amounts to nothing less than cultural chauvinism on part of the University administration directed against the communities from the North-East. This is because most of the North-East students are not adept in any of the languages of the mainland India. The new DU syllabus, if it is allowed to come into force, would put the students of the North-East under serious disadvantage vis-à-vis students of rest of the country. This gross neglect of the special needs of the students of the North-East is not a new thing. It is our observation that in the framing of university polices the interests of the students from the North-East is always neglected. It is for this reason that we made this fresh instance of bias an occasion for us to rise above community lines and put forward a united protest to safeguard our common interests.

The protesting students and youth have resolved that if nothing positive comes out of its meeting with HRD officials, then it will spread its struggle to the different capital cities in the North-East states, and intensify the campaign amongst DU colleges.

Yours Sincerely

In the February 23 Nagaland Assembly general election, the election of 53 Teunsang Sadar I could not be conducted following the sudden demise of Congress candidate P Cuba Chang, who was also sitting Congress MLA, on February 22 here at Naga Hospital, Kohima. This unfortunate demise of Congress candidate had necessitated to adjourn the election of this 53 Tuensang Sadar I Assembly Constituency to March 23 next.

Son of former Nagaland Minister Changkok Chang, Toyang Changkok Chang, an Independent candidate, defeated his rival ruling NPF candidate L Elam Chang by a margin of 2272 votes.

Book Review : Amanba Yum by Dr Th.Munindro Singh, Director Planning, Govt. Of Manipur.

I have been reading Dr Th. Munindro’s ‘Amanba Yum’, his own collection of Poems, for some months now. May be I am not an anthologist or a poet myself, but I do have a taste for poems that provoke my heart and soul; that awaken me; that reminds me of things that is sleeping into oblivion. To confess, I am not a mad fan of poems and have never collected them regularly except when I am recommended and referred to. But, one reason I like to read poems is to understand the ‘cause’ of the poem that turns me on as I just said earlier .

Yes, the cause of the poem! In 19 century, Victor Hugo’s cause for his poem was mostly ‘freedom’ e.g. The Grave and the Rose; W.B.Yeats about ‘Irish Nationalism’ e.g. A Dream of Deaths; and Rabindranath Tagor for ‘freedom and liberty, Indian nationalism’, e.g. The Geetanjali. Among the contemporary international poets, Billy Collins poems in ‘Candle Hat’ are interesting for his random thoughts, plain and simplicity. Not to forget to mention is Elizabeth Alexander’s poems, Autumn Passage that bristle with irresistible quality of a world seen fresh. Last but not the least I also like the poems written by Dr Daisaku Ikeda of Japan, ‘Like the Sun rising’ and Dr Robert Schuler of USA, ‘God Always Answers Prayers’, for their works that uplift my entire being completely to a different state.

Due to my work and life situation, I have not had the good fortune of reading and absorbing many of colourful Manipuri poems, both classical and contemporary. But, solely on my own reflection and experience of few that I had read long ago, I found this own collections of poems by Dr Munindro a fascinating manifestation of his own perspective of life; ‘the cause of a life’ in essence. To read with understanding, the peculiar personal, historical and philosophical contexts of Dr Munindro and Manipur are essential for a greater appreciation of the poems. His poems was born out when the left brain meets the right brain: Dr Munindro, a mathematician, the incumbent planning director of Manipur, wrote his heart out in a creative poem, ‘Amanba Yum’, in his own self reflection about the ‘life’ our society , our people and our environment.

The poet ooze out his heart against the defilement of what he saw as culturally and socially vital, and which came to form a vision of personal dissonance with the characters of his time. Dr Munindro’s poem shows the evolution, underneath the surface of Manipur’s society, that is loosening the fabrics of our culture and the bonds that should be, all for the cause of ‘harmonious’ society, environment and life everyone is entitled to. Manipur, a harmonious state, is what we need now. The poet, solemnly, yet very indirectly cries for this cause with great mild intensity and passion. To some readers, this may sound un-spirited, dull or lifeless, but to me the very cause of the collection is to say what it is, at the least it captures my imagination this way.

The poet, perhaps, felt very little about the need to use conventional rules of writing a poem as his instinct was to go uninterrupted, undisturbed and say simply what he wanted to say. Breaking the law of classical rules for poetry writing, Dr Munindro has presented his sublime thoughts in a most unconventional but kind of contemporary form. Every poem lovers must try this collection for a different taste of unconventional, contemporary poetries; there is a unique music in it still: a fusion of logic and creativity.

One of his poems title, ‘Hingbagi Aasha’, my favourite lines are : Mahousha gi Khusemshida

Chokthaba Leite Awatpa Leite

Puduna Lak i Anouba

Hingbagi Aasha ga loina na I

(Apology for writing Manipuri with English letters.)

PRESS RELEASE

01.04.2013

Agitating North-East students turn violent due to callous approach of DU authorities.

The protesters block Ramjas Chowk and break the gate of Proctor’s Office during the agitation against imposition of compulsory language.

The North-East Forum for International Solidarity (NEFIS) has been running a campaign to oppose the imposition of Hindi/MILs (Modern Indian Languages) on the students of ‘north-east’ from the next academic session. The compulsory language course is part of the foundational course of the four year undergraduate program. NEFIS along with individuals and other organizations like MASAD has already held two protests, the first on 22nd March when a memorandum was submitted, and the second on 25th of March when we again approached the Delhi University (DU) authorities to seek a response from them. Since no response was forthcoming, today NEFIS again organized a massive demonstration in the University which blocked Ramjas Chowk and then also broke the barricade outside Dean/Proctor Office. This being an issue that concerns all the students from the North-East and from other marginalized communities of our country; NEFIS took the initiative to organize a joint protest of students from all these different communities, especially those from the North-East.

The protesters block Ramjas Chowk and break the gate of Proctor’s Office during the agitation against imposition of compulsory language.

We gathered at 2:00pm at the Vivekanand Statue, Faculty of Arts, Delhi University and held a public meeting. Speakers from various different communities of the North-East spoke to the gathering and condemned the chauvinist tendency of the University administration. This was followed by sloganeering and a procession which was taken out throughout the campus. The procession of enraged students blocked the Ramjas Chowk for nearly half an hour before proceeding towards the Proctor’s Office. On reaching the main gate of the Dean Students’ Welfare/Proctor’s Office, the students found that it had been barricaded by the University’s private security and the local police. Even after hours of sloganeering nobody from the administration came to talk to us. This cavalier attitude displayed by the administration enraged the crowd which then broke the gate and rushed to the Dean’s office. Rather than understanding the anxiety of the students, the authorities instructed their private security to manhandle the students, including women students. Some men students were even boxed by the security guards. Shockingly, sexist abuses were hurled at the students as they approached the Proctor Office after crossing the barricade.

The enraged students went onto burn a copy of the proposed syllabus that is going to be introduced in the next academic session. This was followed by a public meeting in which it was collectively decided that we would stage our next protest at the HRD ministry; the date for which would be decided in the next meeting.

In the coming academic year, Delhi University’s administration is going to introduce a new syllabus according to which it would become compulsory for students of all courses to do a foundational course during the first year of their graduation. In this foundation course they would be required to opt for a language which would either be Hindi or one of the Modern Indian languages (MILs). It is our opinion that the compulsory imposition of Hindi and other MILs would cause immense hardships for the students who belong to communities that speak neither Hindi nor one of the MILs.

Nagaland: “Our women are no lesser than our males”: Phukayi

The post Nagaland: “Our women are no lesser than our males”: Phukayi appeared first on KanglaOnline.com.

Nagaland,KOHIMA, Mar 22 (NEPS): Naga women have all the qualities, intellect and wisdom and they are not lacking anything comparing to their male counterparts. What they are lacking may be physical prowess comparing to their counterparts. But the whole idea that they could not compete with their male counterparts is not correct proposition, said Phukayi, Parliamentary Secretary for Women Development, Cooperation and Sericulture, while interacting with the NEPS here Friday.

Although there was issue relating to 33% reservation of seats for women in Municipal and Town Council elections in the State, they were still free as anyone them to contest any elections – be it Municipal or Town Council or General elections of the State or Lok Sabha, etc. “Personally, I prefer the second because from here they would only grow up with qualities and maturities,” he pointed out. “Quota or Reservation is of course a temporary phase and it is meant to lift somebody who cannot get up on their own.”

“But I don’t agree that our women are lesser than our male counterparts. There are many women who are more intelligent than males. Look at the sportspersons like Chekrovolu Swuro, Naga woman Olympian from our State and Merry Kom, another woman Olympic Bronze Medalist from our neighboring State and still many more,” he said and further opined that, “It will not be correct to say that our women are lesser than males.”

The Parliamentary Secretary said he had a very high regards for their women who had shown their capabilities in many areas of activities since from their forefathers’ time. They went to kheti for cultivation; to mountains in search of fuels; crossed rugged mountains to meet even leaders of various Naga underground groups for peace and reconciliations; could win the hearts of various Naga underground leaders and cadres at times of conflicts amongst them. “All these actions are manifestations that our women are capable of doing many things,” he said.

“It is not that our women cannot fight the elections. Loot at Meghalaya, four women legislators were made Cabinet Ministers including key Home Minister. “That means one-third of the size of the Ministry in Meghalaya is women,” he said adding that, “Our women also can do it but the point is they have to venture out to face these so-called electoral politics. But you have to have a strong conviction to do it and should not have the tendency of depending on quota or reservation.”

In the turbulent chapters of the tortuous Naga history, while their male counterparts were hiding, they faced up all kind of weathers defending not only their male counterparts but also all the “existing systems prevailing in our societies,” he said.

Pukhayi also asserted that he wanted to explore more hidden qualities of their women. “In fact, without women, we male are nowhere, so we need to strengthen our women,” he said assuring that he would see that “Equality is maintained between the women and males in our society,”

“I wanted to step in in areas of inequalities between the women and males so as to correct these inequalities,” he said adding, “I wanted to have a State Level Coordination Committee (SLCC) to study about the urgent need of our women.”
