Editorial
Is war the only solution?
Barry Kundu
It is completely unfair. These students have invested
nothing less than $20,000 for their study and telling them to
buzz off after a year is wrong. I do not support this move by
the government. The immigration department should come
up with better options rather taking a safe side and
deporting them..
Divakar Poply
I believe, students should have had a better planning and
understanding of the immigration laws before coming to New
Zealand. Yes, these agents do speak over the top and show
everything in gold here and the students should have done a
better research. In my opinion, students should have the right
to stay here. They have not just given their money but have
also invested their time and resources.
Nasreen Kauser
These students are suffering for something they did not do.
Immigration NZ should cancel the deportation notice and let
them stay here. Their focus should be on making sure this is
not repeated in the future.
Pankaj Sharma
I do not support the immigration for serving deportation
notice to the students. The colleges in Auckland have pulled
their hands back trying to evade this issue, as I read in the
newspaper. The students have given a year of their life, they
had hopes when they were studying here and all of a sudden
asking them to leave the country is appalling.
Sanjeev Kumar
I feel, both the students and immigration share the blame
on this one, the students should have done better research
before coming and the immigration should have denied their
visa in the first place to avoid this situation. But once they are
here and it is not just one but scores of them which means the
students are not at immediate fault but agents back in India
are. The students should not be deported.
Praveen Kumar
I wont blame the immigration for deporting these students
because they are just doing their job. The immigration agents
back in India have submitted these fraudulent documents
and to an extent even these colleges are responsible. The
immigration should give students a chance because it is a
matter of their life and career, which they will have to start
from square one, if deported.

Discussion on economy
should be apolitical: A-G
rime
Minister
Voreqe
Bainimarama says it is
a great shame that the
National Federation Party boycotted
the
ceremonial
opening
of
the parliament.
The
Attorney-General
and
Minister for Economy made the
appeal in Parliament on Monday,
September 26.
He said any discussion on the
economy should be apolitical because
of the real threat of natural disasters
brought about by climate change.
He
said
build
confidence
not only for foreigners but also
domestic investors, which required
a national approach irrespective of
political differences.
Please, I appeal to everybody. Do
not try to undermine the economy
simply to gain some cheap political
points, Mr Sayed-Khaiyum said.
He believed that every Fijian
wanted economic progress and
that had been missing in the
political landscape.
He said the cheap political points
scoring must stop from both sides.
We have the fundamental
responsibility, irrespective of the
political parties you belong too,
the responsibility to ensure that all
Fijians are well looked after. We
should focus on service delivery, Mr
Sayed-Khaiyum said.
It is not easy for anyone to migrate to a new country and especially to a country like New Zealand. It is here that licensed immigration advisers come into play
by giving expert immigration advice to their clients. The migrants especially who come from India/Fiji always have questions with regards to immigration as
it is a very complex process. But if you are guided by the right advisor, there is nothing to worry. Taking cue from the same and with an aim to help migrants
get the right advice, we are starting with a series on licensed immigration advisers in South Auckland.The first one to feature in our series is Atesh Narayan,
Managing Director of Auckland South Immigration Consultants, who has more than 5 years experience as a licensed immigration adviser.
Here are excerpt from his interview with Indian Weekender.
Navdeep Marwah
IWK: Tell us about your
journey so far.
Atesh: I am from Fiji but I migrated
to New Zealand in May 2000. This
was two days after second military
coupe in Fiji. I became a licensed
immigration adviser on November
25, 2010. My NZ licence number
is 200902665 and my AUS licence
number is 1576005-1.
IWK: Why did you choose to be
an immigration Adviser?
Atesh: I like to serve the New
Zealand community. I like to be
self-employed and I have passion in
providing immigration advice for
NZ and Australian visa applications.
Furthermore, I have been an
active soccer player and a sports
administrator and I would like to
continue doing immigration to
maintain my physical as well as
mental fitness.
Although I run my business from
home, it works out well for me in
terms of saving overhead costs.
This enables me to be reasonable
in adviser fees compared to other
licensed immigration advisers.

One can relate Kalki to serious roles as well as contentdriven and meaningful cinema. And that is what her career
graph reflectswith films like Dev.D, That Girl in Yellow
Boots, Shaitan, Margarita with a Straw and Waiting,
shining bright.But thats not it. The actress has also won
over the commercial side of showbiz with hit films like
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
and Happy Ending. She keeps on exploring other creative
mediums like theatre and short films. She credits her
father Joel for instilling values which keep her connected
to her roots and for knowing the importance of not taking
success for granted.
I think the main thing that my dad has inspired me is
adaptability. He is somebody who adapts to any situation.
Difficult to
make album
these days:
Diljit Dosanjh
Produced by Wizcraft
International in India,
the show will also feature
performances by the hiphop legend Jay Z, and
Bollywood stars Aamir
Khan,
Ranveer
Singh,
Katrina Kaif, Farhan Akhtar,
Kareena Kapoor Khan, Arjun
Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor along
with music maestro A.R. Rahman,
music composer trio ShankarEhsaan-Loy and singers Arijit Singh
and Monali Thakur.
I
believe it
has become
very difficult to make an album
these days. After making an album,
promoting it is even tougher. After
spending so much, how will you
get the recovery, added the singer,
who rocked Delhi-NCR with his
performance at Radio Mirchis
Mirchi Live-in Concert in Gurgaon
recently. Diljits Do You Know,
independently produced by his new
label, is shot in Los Angeles. Its
video is directed by Mark Stauback,
who had earlier directed the
Travie McCoys chartbuster song
Billionaire featuring guest vocals
from Bruno Mars.
A lot of Punjabi singers have
come into the Indian music
scene off late. This makes Diljit
happy. He also feels Yo Yo Honey
Singh, who has made it big in
Bollywood, deserves every bit of
his success.
I dont look at him as
competition because I have never
tried in Hindi music at all.
I can do acting and I am a
Punjabi music folk lover... I have
never tried to make Hindi songs,
he said.
