Pune 24th May: The Armed Forces Special Power Act 1958, (AFSPA) which was introduced by the Central government initially for 6 months only under the reason of maintaining law and order is taking its tolls since 53 years now in the north east states. The law grants the military wide powers to arrest without warrant, shoot-to-kill, and destroy property in disturbed areas. It also protects military personnel responsible for serious crimes from prosecution. This has made them an extra-judicial force. The undemocratic laws like these which are oppressive of the civil rights and deny the citizenship’s dignity shall be repealed immediately said human rights activist Adv Asim Sarode. Civil Right activist Ojas Su Ra, Adv Anand Thounoujam, Supreme Court Lawyer Adv Umesh Bhagwat, Adv Rama Sarode, Students from various Law Colleges and students from Manipur, Nagaland, Assam etc were present on the occasion. The students formed a human chain also demanding concerns for civil activist Irom Sharmila, who is on fast since 11 years now.
He pointed out that Manipuri writer and activist Sharmila Irom has been on hunger strike for over 10 years protesting against the AFSPA and human rights abuse. “We Punekars took pride in supporting Anna Hazare’s fast against corruption. We should be doing the same in case of Irom Sharmila”. This Iron Lady is not fighting for north-east states but the law which has alienated its own people from rest of India.
Peoples from the north-east giving thanks to Sahyog Trust, Human Right and Law Defender (HRLD) for taking initiative to organized the protest demonstration at Balgandharva square Pune against the armed Forces Special power Act (AFSPA) 1958, which gives absolute powers to the security personnel, saying that it has become a tool for human rights violations in the insurgency affected areas of North East.
Our Voice is – “Repeal the Black Law Armed Forces Special Power Act 1958 and Stop Undeclared War Against its Own People because We Want Peace.”

Imkong L Imchen, Home Minister
By Oken Jeet Sandham
KOHIMA, May 17 (NEPS): State Home Minister Imkong L Imchen said the opposition Congress party in Nagaland was trying to shift the responsibility of the defeat of their candidate by diverting the issue.
In an interaction with NEPS Tuesday here at his office chamber, the Home Minister reiterated his stand that the mandate given to the NPF in the just concluded 26 Aonglenden by-election was a “clear manifestation” on the Naga political issue.
Elaborating further, the Minister said like any other elections in Nagaland, the election in the 26 Aonglenden by-poll too was based on “policy” that was Naga political issue. In other words, the NPF contested all were basing on such “principles,” and as such, the mandate given to them was a clear manifestation that it was on the Naga political issue, he averred.
Imchen also categorically explained that in the process of fair play in democratic principles, one thing was “sure and clear” that the defeats were accepted by losers with “humility and gracefully” which was shown even today by leaders of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, West Bengal and Assam by resigning from their respective positions.
Regrettably, in the case of NPCC it had hardly any affect, he alleged and added that, “Perhaps it is their (NPCC) party internal affairs”. He said the NPCC lost in their own game and so “why they blamed us.”
Stating that in electoral battles like theirs in Nagaland or elsewhere in the country, “winning or losing is part of the game,” Imchen expressed. “It is not sin to lose,” he said. “You have to take it sportingly.”
Asked about his reaction to NPCC president SI Jamir’s questioning his bloodline who were any in the national service during the turbulent times, the Home Minister said he (SI Jamir) had to answer in “legal terms.”
Replying to NPCC chief’s point that he was groomed to become a leader while in Congress party, Imchen asked whether they (Congress) had groomed him or he contributed to the party (Congress). “But I do admit that I was a staunch Congressman and that till today I say that,” he echoed.
But they should also know that many of the present Congress legislators in the State had also made defections from one party to others, he started saying “Perhaps they will even deny this.”
The Home Minister further alleged that the Congress party in Nagaland was capable of making all sort of “complaints” but “not capable of performers.” “It is their habit to complain against anybody on every day,” he said. “It is their business and let them go on complaining.”
“But I am not interested to conduct in running arguments with them every day,” he asserted.
Asked who should be given credit for the winning of the 26 Aonglenden by-poll, he replied that it was a “team work and with the good work of the Chief Minister.”
Reposing his faith in Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio’s leadership, Imchen said for any “eventuality,” “I will support him and I am for him.” He further informed that his political ideology was to “safeguard the interest of the Naga people.”

KOHIMA, May 15 (NEPS): President of the ruling major Naga People’s Front (NPF) Dr Shurhozelie reiterated that a political era was over and therefore they should start talking good of the past. The NPF chief was referring to the just concluded 26 Aonglenden by-election in Mokokchung district.
Talking to NEPS here today, the NPF chief further, while explaining about their party candidate’s remarkable winning in the by-poll, said it was not that they were better than others. Although there had been lapses here and there, but on the whole, people were appreciating the “performers,” he added.
At the same time there were many “believers” who had been persistently praying for “us” and “God has answered their prayers,” he stated.
Asked about the charges made by the opposition Congress that the ruling DAN had misused of state machineries during the by-poll, Dr Shurhozelie who is also senior minister in the DAN government pointed out that such accusations made by the losers in elections were “normal.” “But if those accusations really have some sense, there is platform to address them,” he asserted.
Dr Shurhozelie also described the mandate given to their candidate “Toshipokba” as “wisdom of voters” who had realized the “need to change.” This was the main reason why they had come out boldly to give their votes to their NPF candidate.

New Delhi, May 13 (IANS): India was poised to get two more women chief ministers as Mamata Banerjee’s tsunami destroyed 34 years of Left rule in West Bengal while veteran J. Jayalalithaa pounded the corruption-tainted DMK in Tamil Nadu in a manner not predicted even by pundits.
The Congress, on the winning side in West Bengal but a loser in Tamil Nadu, managed a remarkable hat trick in Assam after decimating a divided opposition, but huffed and puffed before narrowly overcoming a fighting Left Democratic Front (LDF) in Kerala.
In Puducherry, the last of five provinces which went to the polls in April-May, the Congress was unseated by a breakaway group which had teamed up with Jayalalithaa’s AIADMK.
Although it put up a brave face, there was more bad news for the Congress in the two Lok Sabha by-elections.
The Congress was humiliated in Kadapa in Andhra Pradesh — a development bound to cost the party dearly in the politically crucial state — and defeated by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Bastar in Chhattisgarh.
In Kadapa, the Congress candidate came second but lost his deposit after Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy, son of the late chief minister Y.S.R. Rajasekhara Reddy, retained the seat with a record margin of 543,053 votes — three times the winning margin of 2009.
‘The Congress will have to introspect very seriously because it must be feeling a southern discomfort,’ political analyst G.V.L. Narasimha Rao told IANS. ‘Assam is very good news for the Congress but it deserves no credit for Bengal. The south seems to be slipping away.’
Southern India had accounted for a solid 60 of the Lok Sabha seats the Congress won in 2009 — a contribution that helped it retain power in New Delhi.
Without doubt, the most dramatic of victories Friday came from West Bengal and Tamil Nadu.
Riding on a wave of discontent against the Communists who had been in power in West Bengal since 1977, Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress delivered a mortal blow to the Left. The Trinamool bagged 181 of the state’s 294 seats while its ally Congress won 42. The Left got 61 seats, one of its worst performances in decades.
As tens of thousands of Trinamool supporters celebrated the fascinating win, particularly outside the Kolkata residence of Banerjee, Biman Bose of the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) admitted it was a rout.
Banerjee, who is expected to resign as the railway minister to move to Kolkata to be the first woman chief minister of West Bengal, met Governor M.K. Narayanan Friday evening.
The Trinamool wave crushed the Marxists all over West Bengal, even in areas where the Communists had never before tasted defeat.
Even Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya, whose aggressive policy of industrialization sparked off protests in rural areas that helped Banerjee to ultimately cripple the Left, was humbled in Jadavpore.
Equally sensational was the AIADMK juggernaut in Tamil Nadu, which swept away the DMK and its allies that included the Congress. After a landslide victory, AIADMK leader Jayalalitha vowed to rebuild the state even as the party made it clear that it would not share power with its allies.
Needing 118 seats to form a government, the AIADMK had captured 153 seats on its own while its alliance, which included actor Vijayakanth’s MDMK and the two Communist parties, had crossed the 200-mark.
A stunned DMK retreated into silence.
AIADMK MP V. Maitreyan said the Tamil Nadu vote was against ‘family rule’ — referring to Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, his son and Deputy Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, central minister and elder son M.K. Alagiri and daughter M. Kanimozhi, a Rajya Sabha MP who faces possible arrest in the spectrum allocation scam.
The only cheer for Congress came in Assam where it bagged 78 of the 126 seats, a vast improvement on the last election, to come back to power for the third consecutive time.
While Congress Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi credited it to good governance, the opposition said the main reason were its divided ranks.
In Kerala too the Congress tasted victory but after many anxious hours — managing a majority of just one seat in a house of 140.
The new chief minister is expected to be Oommen Chandy of the Congress, which heads the victorious United Democratic Front (UDF). Most players in the state credited the Marxists’ stunning show to Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan, who at age 87 proved to be the Left’s biggest vote catcher.

The tendency to turn towards violence is much higher among the children and the teenagers as they are exposed to all the all violent activities like the security personnel displaying their arms around their respective camps or the UG groups releasing their various dictates through the media and above all these factors are assisted by easy availability of toy guns in the state, he added.

IMPHAL, April 22: In a direct attacked at the Chief Minister, who reportedly made an announcement recently stating that he will not tolerate any kind of irregularities in his government and if required he will step down himself; former MPP MLA L Jatra stated that he is likely to submit a report full of irregularities committed by the Chief Minister within a month and that he is looking forward to the outcome.
The former MLA made the statement during the closing function of a three day discussion on the topic “The role of youth in Governance”, held today at the MPP conference hall, organised by the youth front of the party.
Amidst the prevailing hardship in the state the Chief Minister instead of addressing the grievances of the people is busy extracting his percentage charge, L. Jatra said.
He further held that irregularities have been detected in distribution of old age pension in Thoubal district wherein a 35 year old married woman is being provided with the pension.
Corruption cannot be uprooted by the common people but it can be done only by the higher authorities. He claimed that the flagship programme is nothing but a campaign instrument for the congress party to set up its base in areas where the party is weak.
The former MLA held that development means creating job opportunities, providing essential needs to the farmers and availing essential commodities at subsidise rate to the public. But the flagship programme is functioning on the contrary of its aims and objectives.
He further expressed his apprehension that Manipur is likely to come into extinction due to the corrupt practices of the present government.
The Manipur Peoples’ Party (MPP) also alleged that the SPF ministry has been running a network of contracts within the Education department and it is one of the main reasons which killed former board chairman Kunjabihari Singh, who was shot inside his office chamber during working hour.
The allegation was made by the general secretary of the MPP, Robin Bicky, during the closing function. The general secretary while reacting to the recently inaugurated and ongoing training programme on flagship schemes of the SPF and central government stated that all the promise made and assurances of the present SPF government are stage plays. He pointed out that all the welfare schemes and programme like the SSA, Mid Day Meal etc. is a total a disaster as most of the beneficiaries liable for the welfare schemes hardly received their shares.
Y. Mangi, youth president Maniton Mangang, general secretary MPP, Y. Iboyaima, Youth members and other executive members of the MPP attended during the function.
