GoI delaying solution: NSCN (I-M) If India wants to put Nagas under its ‘‘constitution, Naga struggle will continue

NEW DELHI, APR 13 (PTI/AGENCIES): NSCN (I-M) on Thursday accused the Government of India of delaying the final settlement to the decades-old Naga issue. In an interview with ‘The Week’ magazine, chief of Naga Army, Phunting Shimrang alleged that the Central government was trying to “humiliate” the Nagas by delaying the settlement. “It is only after we went to China, that India woke up. Will India wake up only if the Naga army starts doing that again?” Shimrang was quoted as saying by the magazine. He also dismissed the suggestion that the Naga problem is India’s “internal issue”. ‘The Week’ said the interview was taken at NSCN (I-M) headquarters in Hebron in Nagaland. In another interview, home minister of the NSCN (I-M) government Rh. Raising shed light on the framework agreement signed on August 3, 2015 by NSCN (I-M) general secretary Thuingaleng Muivah and the government’s interlocutor R.N. Ravi in presence of Prime Minister Narendra

Modi. “It (the pact) talks about the existence of two entities without us foregoing our rights. It recognises the identity, history and territory of the Nagas,” the magazine quoted him as saying. Raising also said “India and the Nagas have agreed to co-exist” and an early settlement is beneficial for India. “But if India wants to put Nagas under its constitution, the Naga struggle will continue,” he said. The framework agreement came after over 80 rounds of negotiations spanning 18 years with the first breakthrough in 1997 when the ceasefire agreement was sealed after decades of insurgency in Nagaland. N P N : M e a n w h i l e, Phunting Shimrang could not be contacted to get his comments on ‘The Week’ report.

CM, Gov greet on Good Friday, Easter DIMAPUR, APR 13 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister, Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu, has wished all a very blessed Good Friday and a happy Easter. In his message, Dr. Shürhozelie said Good Friday was the most important day for Christians, commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and His death at Calvary. “It is centered towards feeling of sorrow, at the pain and humiliation that Jesus underwent for the cause of goodness and to save our souls,” he said On this holy occasion, the chief minister said it was better to allow “our lives to speak for us than just our words and on Good Friday we get to take stock of whether we are achieving this.” Further, he wished that everyone be blessed with the goodness of Good Friday and that all may give thanks to God through their living. “For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son to die on the Cross

DIMAPUR, APR 13 (NPN): State government has declared April 15, 2017 as general holiday for all the government offices in Nagaland on account of the day being “Easter Saturday”. According to an official bulletin, the declaration was in pursuance of the explanation to section-3 of the Negotiable Instrument Act, l881 (Act. XXVI). On April 12, the government also decided not to take part in any activity related to promotion of Digital Payment on April 14, 2017). April 14 being a public holiday to observe Good Friday, the government would not take part in any activity, NEW DELHI, APR 13 chief secretary, Pankaj Ku- (AGENCIES): The Sumar informed. preme Court on Thursday asked the Centre to respond by May 8 to a plea by the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) to Offices of Nagaland Post comply with a 2013 Supreme will remain closed on Court directive to introduce April 14, 2017 and re- paper trail in Electronic Votopen on April 15, 2017. ing Machines (EVMs). A Bench led by Justice J. Chelameswar issued notice to the Centre after senior advocate P.

Dr. Shürhozelie said that “it is about the hope that we have because there was an empty tomb.” He also said that “Jesus chose to lay down on the Cross in place of us, so that we can have eternal life.” Just like after every night comes a new day, after a painful death comes a new life, Dr. Shürhozelie said and prayed that the Lord fill “our hearts with peace, hold us in His love and bless us with His grace.” Governor: Nagaland Governor, P.B. Acharya has extended warm greetings to the people of the State on the occasion of Easter. In his message, the governor said that Christ’s resurrection signified triumph of truth over evil and that love was always stronger than hatred. He called upon the people to let the day of resurrection make all work for peace, harmony and brotherhood.

Minister Narendra Modi’s statement on the issue saying there were differences between his assurances to Manipur and the claims of the Naga rebels. During the Zero Hour, Thokchom Meinya said Modi had assured the people of Manipur during the recent state polls that their territory would not be affected by the pact, but the Naga rebels have been making different statements. “’Greater Nagaland’ is unacceptable to us”, he said referring to the key demand of the rebels, saying it would adversely affect Manipur’s territorial integrity. Earlier, on the occasion of its ‘38th Republic Day’, NSCN (I-M) general secretary Thuingaleng Muivah reportedly said that the ‘Framework Agreement’ signed with the Centre had recognized NSCN (I-M)’s demand for territorial integration of all Naga inhabited areas in the region. “NSCN has had consultative meetings with the

people on talks consecutively for eight times. The historic ‘Framework Agreement’ recognizes the unique history, the identity, the sovereignty, the territories of the Nagas. It also recognizes the legitimate right of the Nagas to integration of all Naga territories,” Muivah said in his address at Hebron. H o w e v e r, C e n t r e strongly refuted as “erroneous” the reports that it had agreed to carve out a larger Nagaland state by taking away the territories of the states contiguous to it. Rejecting media reports that the Government of India had agreed to carve out a larger Nagaland state, Home ministry in a clarification said: “Such reports are erroneous. It is clarified that there is no such agreement or decision of the Government of India.” “The pact (Framework Agreement) had set the political parameters of the final solution,” officials said. There was also protest across Assam and Manipur in reaction to Muivah’s integration statement, while some groups demanded white paper on the ‘Framework Agreement’.

‘Digital India’ exempted in Nagaland, M’laya, Mizoram Correspondent

SHILLONG/DIMAPUR, APR 13: The BJPled NDA government on Thursday exempted the Digital India Day to be observed on Friday in three Christian-majority states-Meghalaya, Nagaland and Mizoram on account of Good Friday, an official said. In a letter to the Chief Secretaries of Meghalaya, Nagaland and Mizoram, Niti Aayog Chief Executive Officer Amitabh Kant said on account of Good Friday the state government are facing an issue about organising Digi Dhan Mela. “It has been decided that the Digi Dhan Mela may be held on any other date that convenient to the state governments of Meghalaya, Mizoram and Nagaland,” Kant stated in his letter. This decision came after the Meghalaya and Nagaland government have decided not to observe the Digital India Day in view of the Good Friday. On Wednesday, Lok Sabha member, Conrad

K. Sangma of the lone National People’s Party wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to defer the Digital India Day so that the secular fabric of India remains honoured both in writing and spirit. Good Friday is one of the most important days in the Christian calendar. It is observed as a day of prayers, penance and fasting to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ nearly 2,000 years ago. On Tuesday, Meghalaya chief minister Mukul Sangma had also raised objections against the BJP-led NDA government for its decision to observe Digital India day on Good Friday Nagaland chief secretary Pankaj Kumar said the state government will not join any activity relating to promotion of digital payment on Good Friday. Objecting the NDA’s government to hold the programme on Good Friday, the powerful Young Mizo Association in Mizoram termed BJP government’s decision as a show of disregard to one’s religion.

MTYO resents road renovation work

DIMAPUR, APR 13 (NPN): Medziphema Town Youth Organisation (MTYO) has expressed dissatisfaction over the road renovation work at Medziphema town (Zero point junction to SASRD, NU gate). MTYO said that the work was haphazardly done and the sanctioned amount was high when compared to the “unsatisfactory” work executed. In this regard, MTYO president Asazo Kuotsu, general secretary Mhasilevi Kuotsu, vice presidents Pelhubikho Yalie and Ato Krose, and assistant general secretary Thejangukho Yalietsu stated that they have lodged a complaint with the Legal Aid Clinic, Medziphema in October 2016 and received RTI copy of the said work order. MTYO said that the renovation was done only in visible patches/ potholes and even the repaired potholes not up to the specifications. It claimed that Rs.47,07,000 was sanctioned for whole stretch of road but the contractor could have spent Rs. 4-5 lakh as the road condition worsened within a month of completion, MTYO said. It therefore, vowed to fight for justice if the demand for repairing the road was not materialized.

NPCC lashes out at BJP-RSS, NPF Road to Intl trade Centre in DIMAPUR, APR 13 (NPN): Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has vehemently criticized the brazenness of BJP government at the Centre to continually disregard the sentiments of other religious minorities particularly Christians by holding events on religious/holy days. NPCC media cell said in the midst of all these sacrilege deliberately perpetrated by BJP-RSS combine, the NPF government in the state and BJP-RSS continued to be inseparable partners. It said in 2014 when BJP government announced observance of Good Governance day on December 25 (Christmas day), NPF took two good years to wake up from self induced slumber and put up a semblance of their existence only in 2016 against making Christmas day irrelevant. This year again, NPCC

said BJP had gone further ahead to observe Digital India Day on April 14 despite the day being Good Friday. It was only after Meghalaya took the lead in protest against this move, NPF government belatedly came up with their feeble statement, NPCC said. After 14 years of misgovernance, the only notable achievement of NPF was facilitating the presence of BJP in Nagaland. After the recent electoral success of the BJP, NPCC said the country was now witnessing the rise of fringe elements who have been taking law into their own hands to dispense street justice “that is no different from Taliban regime”. Thus, making the BJP-RSS agenda of “one nation one culture one law and one tax closer to reality” it added. NPCC also cautioned that Article 371(A) of the Indian Constitution which

shelters Nagaland would also become irrelevant once these laws come into being. Maintaining that they (NPF and BJP-RSS) were two sides of the same coin, NPCC said supporting NPF was supporting BJP-RSS. NPCC further asked NPF to stop attempting to fool the people by sailing in two boats. Taking a dig at BJP, NPCC said their rhetoric about their development agenda had been unmasked repeatedly. “The communal forces are at our doorsteps and it will be a matter of time they start invading our homes issuing diktats on what to eat, wear, follow, speak, worship and so on,” NPCC alleged. In this regard, NPCC urged upon the people of Nagaland to “rise up to the occasion and reject these communal forces and their agents in the form of NPF before it is too late.”

deplorable condition: WNSU

DIMAPUR, APR 13 (NPN): Wolam Nyuking (Pangsha Old) Students’ Union (WNSU) has expressed dismay that even after more than two decades since the establishment of International Trade Centre (ITC) at Dan under Pangsha, Tuensang district, the road connectivity from Noklak via Pangsha to International Trade Centre (ITC) Dan remained deplorable. In a press release, WNSU president, Puthai Lamhing, and assistant general secretary, Tsuming Meya, said the union took pride in having ITC (established in 1996), but lamented that road condition to ITC was “very disheartening.” WNSU said the road between Hit-Tho and Longshing Mong, from km 23-26, has been totally

blocked by landslides since mid-2016. It stated that during rainy season the area remained cut off due to lack of bridge at Shiomong (tributaries of Zungki River) causing hardships to Pangsha people. Considering the need of proper road infrastructure from Noklak to International Trade Centre Dan, the WNSU has urged the responsible department/ contractor to discharge best of their service as fund has been allocated. Further, the union appealed to for completion of proposed work without delay. Assuring to extend cooperation to the responsible authority for successful implementation of the proposed project, the WNSU, however, said it would not compromise if the work was not satisfactory.

trail (VVPAT) machine, the voter can see whether the symbol the voter presses is the symbol the EVM registers in the system. Verification of the vote is an indispensable part of voting, Chidambaram submitted. “Only a paper trail can restore the confidence of the people,” Mr. Chidambaram submitted. Supreme Cour t, in 2013, to a petition filed by the now BJP Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy, had asked the Commission to introduce in a phased manner the paper trail in Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, saying “it is an indispensable requirement of free, fair and transparent” polls which will restore confidence of the voters. The Supreme Court, which directed the Centre to provide financial assistance to the poll panel for introduction vote verifier

paper audit trail (VVPAT) system with the EVMs, had said it would “ensure the accuracy of the voting system” and also help in “manual counting of votes in case of dispute.” “The ‘paper trail’ is an indispensable requirement of free and fair elections. The confidence of voters in the EVMs can be achieved only with introduction of the paper trail,” it had said. “EVMs with VVPAT system ensure the accuracy of the voting system. With an intent to have fullest transparency in the system and to restore the confidence of the voters, it is necessary to set up EVMs with VVPAT system because vote is nothing but an act of expression which has immense importance in democratic system,” the Bench had said. Chidambaram said the Commission had sent SOS to the Centre for funds to install EVMs with VVPAT.

A total of Rs.3000 crore is required to set up EVMS with VVPAT, the ways things are proceeding, it would take another 150 years, Chidambaram submitted. The BSP and the Congress — the latter sought permission to intervene along with other Opposition parties, including the TMC — said they did not want to press their prayer for quashing of the recent Assembly elections. “Nowhere in the world except in South America EVMs are used,” senior advocate Kapil Sibal for Congress party submitted. But this comment saw Justice Chelameswar ready with his retort that “if I am not wrong, EVMs was introduced by your party.” “EVMs itself was a remedy for other evils of polling like booth-capturing, etc,” Justice Chelameswar said. “Science has improved, so has hacking,” Chidambaram responded.

State BJP unit not to observe Digital Day misuse of Bank a/cs DIMAPUR, APR 13 (NPN): Na-

DIMAPUR, APR 13 (NPN): Nagaland police has informed that many bank accounts of Nagaland belonging to Naga people, especially students, were increasingly being used by criminals for their fraudulent activities. In a press release, superintendent of police (crime) stated that illegal transactions using those accounts were being done from other states especially in big cities. In many instances, police said it was being alleged that the bank accounts were being sold by students/youngsters to unscrupulous elements and big criminals for easy money without knowing that such accounts could be used to commit crimes. “When a crime is committed by some persons using such bank accounts, the original holders of the bank accounts can be also implicated,” warned the police. In this regard, the police said the advisory had been issued earlier also but criminal activities using those accounts were increasing manifold. Therefore, the police have cautioned general public not to involve in such activities. Students, who leave their place of studies after completion, have also been advised to close down their accounts unless they intended to continue using them. Further, it cautioned the public not to share their bank account details such as account number, ATM card number, secret pin number and other personal details with anyone because all the phone calls, SMS or email asking for bank details were done by criminals and not by the bank.

galand BJP unit has decided not to observe ‘Digital India’ on April 14 since the day falls on Good Friday, saying it is an important sacred day of Christians. State BJP further appealed to the Central government to avoid holding events on important Christian days or any other important days of other religion, Appreciating the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to hold the Digital India Day, BJP unit said the Digital India campaign launched in July 2015 was to ensure that government services are made available to citizens electronically by improved online infrastructure and by increased high speed Internet connectivity even in rural areas. BJP unit at the same time said it was also very important that the sanctity of religious days are also observed and maintained in the true secular character and traditions of the constitution.

Judicial officers asked to change their attitude

Correspondent

KO H I M A , A P R 1 3 (NPN): Gauhati High Court Judge and executive chairman Nagaland State legal Service Authority (NSLSA), L. S Jamir has asked judicial officers to changes attitude towards their responsibilities. Speaking at the first All Nagaland Meet of District Legal Service Authorities organized by NSLSA at Hotel Japfu Thursday, Jamir reminded the legal fraternity that if they feel compelled to do their job then it would become a burden, saying, “there is nothing glamorous or exciting about going out of the way to help a poor and ignorant person whose solution depends on the lawyers”.

The Judge said the lawyers deal with the weakest section of the society, who is not only economically and financially poor but also ignorant of their legal rights, as they lack proper education on legal terms. Jamir reminded them that justice was the product of the rule of law and the sovereign function of the state government was to establish the rule of law where the core of peace and order was discharged by the judicial system by giving effect to the rule of law. In her address, secretary department of Law and Justice, Khanrinla T. Koza, said access to justice has been recognized as one of the fundamental rights. She said to bring justice closer to the underprivileged

ood Friday is the most important and venerated event in Christianity where the message of the Cross remains at the core of the faith when Jesus of Nazareth offered Himself as a sacrifice to shed His blood as atonement for the sins of mankind in order to bring peace and reconciliation between the creator, God and his created, man. Why did Christ die? It was in keeping with God’s promise made in Genesis 3:15 to redeem mankind from the curse brought by the fall of the first created man, Adam and woman, Eve after they disobeyed God and fell prey to deceit. It is neither a fable nor a myth but a well documented fact of history testified by one undeniable secular source, the Roman historian, Tacitus. According to Roman historian Tacitus (55-120 AD) Jesus Christ, was executed during the reign of Emperor Tiberius under Governor Pontius Pilate (Tacitus annals XV). This historical account by a non-religious historian and writer bears testimony to the biblical accounts of the crucifixion of Jesus at Calvary(Friday) and his resurrection(Sunday) as foretold centuries before God’s promise of sending the saviour. In fact, the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ is at the core of the Christian faith and without which, salvation that has been preached would have had no meaning and reduced to the condition of other religions. Christ’s birth, death and resurrection were already foretold from the beginning which was confirmed by later prophets such as Isaiah (7:14) seven hundred years before His birth. What still remains the most moving testimony of God’s love was the humiliation, pain and suffering that Christ had to undergo in obeying God’s promise to free human from the curse of sin and death. He was mocked and scourged. He suffered hours of limitless pain, cycles of twisting, joint-rending cramps, intermittent partial asphyxiation, and searing pain as tissue was torn from His lacerated back from His movement up and down against the rough timbers of the cross. One endearing word that tells the whole story of the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is His example of forgiveness, even for the worst of sins or crimes. Jesus, in His death took the punishment to show God’s mercy so that we do not get what we deserved and by His grace, showed us favour by not giving us what we deserved. The message of the gospel is a promised fulfilled at the foot of the cross; it is a confrontation and not accommodation. Good Friday again and again reminds Christians of the daily confrontation against evil through the ways of Jesus Christ. The cross means confrontation with sin. It also means being crucified with Christ and the old worldly self and resurrection of the new life in Christ. The cross to the Romans, represented everything that was shameful and contemptible. Thieves, robbers, murderers and criminals were crucified at the cross. It was a sign of weakness, defeat and death. The cross of Calvary is not only a message of confrontation but also of God’s undying love for His creation; a sacrificial love. The followers of Christ need spiritual renewal and the power of God’s Agape-Love to reform society, gone haywire –spiritually, physically and socially- if Nagaland is ever to come out of its current chaotic state.

DailyDevotion What To Do When Your Burden Is Overwhelming

Cast your burden on the Lord… —Psalm 55:22 We must recognize the difference between burdens that are right for us to bear and burdens that are wrong. We should never bear the burdens of sin or doubt, but there are some burdens placed on us by God which He does not intend to lift off. God wants us to roll them back on Him— to literally “cast your burden,” which He has given you, “on the Lord….” If we set out to serve God and do His work but get out of touch with Him, the sense of responsibility we feel will be overwhelming and defeating. But if we will only roll back on God the burdens He has placed on us, He will take away that immense feeling of responsibility, replacing it with an awareness and understanding of Himself and His presence. Many servants set out to serve God with great courage and with the right motives. But with no intimate fellowship with Jesus Christ, they are soon defeated. They do not know what to do with their burden, and it produces weariness in their lives. Others will see this and say, “What a sad end to something that had such a great beginning!” “Cast your burden on the Lord….” You have been bearing it all, but you need to deliberately place one end on God’s shoulder. “…the government will be upon His shoulder” (Isaiah 9:6). Commit to God whatever burden He has placed on you. Don’t just cast it aside, but put it over onto Him and place yourself there with it. You will see that your burden is then lightened by the sense of companionship. But you should never try to separate yourself from your burden.

Message of the Cross

Nagaland Post, Dimapur

“C

hrist became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name.” (phil 2:8-9) Death is not always physical or final. You die many times while you are alive. Your childhood, for example, dies as you become an adult. Your single life dies when you join another in marriage. And your career, the role you play in life, dies when you retire. Each benchmark of maturation requires a death of your former self. Many, however, resist “dying.” A young person who won’t leave home after graduating from school, a laid off employee who avoids training for a different career, or an insolvent businessman who stubbornly refuses to file for bankruptcy are all indicators of a fear to let go of a phase of life that has ended. Because their identity is tied to a role, these individuals literally feel that surrendering this role is the same as dying. They don’t know who they are without it. Yet hanging on to a stage of life

Y

He died!

that has run its course, in addition to being futile, prevents the next stage from beginning. Many of the most successful people in the world, including Moses, Kind David and of course Jesus, did not achieve success until their second or even third careers. These individuals had to endure a death of the life they had been living in order to live the life they were destined to live. Moses, for example was a prince of Egypt and then a Bedouin shepherd before becoming a leader of the Israelites. Before he became royalty, David was a simple shepherd, the smallest of his brothers, and then a warrior. And Jesus, because he did not start his mission until around the age of thirty, surely had some prior vocation. As a seed must die to become to a flower, you too must be willing, as Jesus said in Mathew 16:25, to lose your life in order to find it. Death is a success secret because endings give way to new beginnings. Sometimes you have to let your hopes and dreams, your accomplishments and possessions,

‘No’ to digital day on Good Friday

and even your role or persona, die before your true mission and purpose can be revealed to you. If you have taken the wrong path, assumed a mistaken identity, or pursued a meaningless goal, to achieve your higher purpose, that part of your life has to come to an end. It must die. Your experience suffering, like when Jesus sweat blood in the garden of Gethsemane, when you resist the inevitable. Jesus had to die on the cross so he could fulfil his mission and rise on the third day. Death is the ultimate mystery. While most dread this event, it is after all a transition, a step toward a new life. While everyone will experience death eventually, not everyone will, as William Wallace said in the film Braveheart, really live. As a caterpillar must die to become a butterfly, you too must die to be born again into something more beautiful, radiant and magnificent. Jesus said, “He who believes in me, though he may die, he shall live.” (Jn 11:25) Death is the secret to rising again. Rev. Fr. C. Joseph, Counsellor, St. Joseph’s College, Jakhama

A

statement from the Bishop’s House Kohima says that it endorses the government of Nagaland and NBCC’s “NO” to Digital India Day on Good Friday. While appreciating the effort of the Central Government to spread digital education, the statement said that such laudable effort should not be at the cost of the secular and inclusive fabric of the nation. “Unity in diversity” has been the greatest strength and asset of the Indian ethos and any effort to dilute it by infringing upon the religious sentiments of any group of people will only bring division and disintegration of national unity and cohesiveness. The seemingly systematic and planned effort of some group to undermine and destroy the unity and integrity of India by sowing seeds of division and imposing uniformity and the cost of unity is detrimental to the progressive and visionary efforts of well intended leaders and they must guard and vigilantly disown and disassociate themselves

Why did Jesus have to die?

esterday, the Christians all over the world obser ved Maundy Thursday, the first of three Holy Week observances relating to the events surrounding Christ’s passion. Maundy Thursday marks the occasion of the last Passover Christ observed with his disciples, as well as the first Eucharist. Today the Christians across the land observe the Good Friday. Two important practices are witnessed today, namely, ancient Christian devotion known as the Stations of the Cross and the recounting of the passion of the Our lord Jesus Christ. Participating in the way of the Cross and recounting of the passion of our Lord which takes place in the churches allow God’s people to unite with one another in an extended act of remembering the cost of their salvation. The passion of our lord recorded in the Gospel of St. John is a moving testimony to the final hours of Jesus before His crucifixion. Christians relive the event of the moments of Jesus; his prayer in the Garden of Olives, His walks through the street of Jerusalem, His appearance before Pilate, His scourge at the pillar, his carrying of heavy cross to mount Calvary and finally his utterance of the momentous words, “It is finished’. This is what we recall on Good Friday. A question that is perennially asked by one and all is, “Why Did Jesus Have to Die? For a non-Christian or for an unbeliever the death of Jesus is absurd, unreasonable and unnecessary. However, for a Christian, the death of Jesus is redemptive. In the book of prophet Isaiah we read, “He was wounded for our transgressions ... by his stripes we are healed.” (Is 53:5) These verse from prophet Isaiah summarize the event of Good Friday and the message of it. The suffering and death of Jesus on the cross on Good Friday is an unbelievable demonstration of God’s sacrificial love for human beings. The cross truly does demonstrate and reveal the love of God the Father who sacrificed His only Son for us. God showed us what real love is by giving his Son to save us and making it possible for us to share and experience that love. 1 John 4: 9-10 reminds us, “God sent His only Son into the world so that we might have life through him. In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as expiation for our sins.” Jesus in his own words expresses”For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” (Jn 3:16). This day is called ‘Good Friday’ not because they day was good for Jesus. It wasn’t

a good day for Jesus rather it was a day of soul-wrenching agony, a day when Jesus hung for hours on a wooden cross by the nails on his hands for our sake. We call today, “Good Friday’ because his death bridged the deep gulf between God and each one of us. John wrote his Gospel in Greek, and those last words of Jesus are just one word in Greek – ‘tetelestai’ which means, ‘It is finished’. Jesus is saying that his job of saving the world has been completed. He has won forgiveness for all people. Nothing else needs to be done. Salvation is complete. “It is finished”. Therefore, in the cross God expressed his love in action. The Christians are called to assess on Good Friday how well we return that love by loving God living in our fellow human beings. We are living in a world which is increasingly experiencing hatred, violence, persecution, fanaticism, division, lack of trust, prejudice, selfishness, marginalization, family breakdown, blatant denial of justice, marital tension, poverty, drug or alcohol abuse, polarization on the basis of creed and colour etc. We are presented with a society where crime against sacredness and human dignity of life is rampant. Therefore, it is the day to remember the new commandment of love Jesus gave us in Gospel of John 13: 34-35 “I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another”. It is a call to to love everyone with no distinction and condition and see everyone as image of God and see the face of God in the marginalize and the suffering. On Good Friday, Christians remember the Ransom Jesus paid for our sins. Sin is infinite offense and disobedience committed against, the Infinite Holiness of God. It demands infinite punishment. Among all the explanation given for the death of Jesus one that is truly credible is based on the central fact that human being cannot atone for his sin against the infinite justice of God. On the other hand, since God is just, he cannot merely sweep our sins “under the rug.” God’s justice demands that our sins be punished. Not to punish sin would be unjust. God is both just and loving. Therefore, God’s love is willing to meet the demands of His justice. But only a God– man could do that, and Jesus made that atonement by his suffering and death. Out of perfect love for us, Jesus took upon himself the punishment we deserve. His willingness to suffer in our place balanced the divine “scales of justice.” The debt was now paid. His love paid the price. His passion and death atoned for our sins and redeemed us. St. Paul writes in his letter to the

Corinthians, “For our sake He made him to be sin who did not know sin, so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.” (Cor 5: 21). Jesus brought us back to the state of God’s children from our slavery to sin by paying his life as ransom for our sins. That is why Jesus said, “For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mk. 10:45). Our freedom was obtained by the price that Jesus paid for us in dying on the cross. Hence, Good Friday is a day to show gratitude to Jesus our Savior by avoiding sins and making reparation or atonement for our sins by acts of mercy, kindness and love. Although it is not pleasant to have our sins and faults pointed out to us, the cross does this. When Peter preached his great sermon on the first day of Pentecost, he laid responsibility for the death of Jesus at the feet of his listeners and the Bible says, they were “pricked in their hearts” or “cut to the heart” (Acts 2:37). But we are living in a world which has lost the sense of sin and which ignores the price Jesus paid for it. Carelessness is slowly creeping into the lives of his followers. Godly values are being replaced by worldly values. Everything is directed by the desire to grab for one’s own gratification and glory. The aspect of sins is slowly waning from the life of people. The prophecy of Jeremiah lamented this sad situation centuries ago, “No one repents of his wickedness, saying, ‘What have I done!’” On this Good Friday, we are exhorted to show the good will and generosity to ask God’s forgiveness for our sins along with the Psalmist, “Have mercy on me, God, in your goodness; in your abundant compassion blot out my offense. Wash away all my guilt; from my sin cleanse me. For I know my offense; my sin is always before me. Against you alone have I sinned; I have done such evil in your sight.” (Ps 51: 3-6) The Good Friday recalls the Heroic and courageous Suffering of Jesus. Crucifixion was used early in history by the Phoenicians, the Greeks and the Romans as a feared way of subduing conquered territories. The cross was the crudest instrument of torture used by the Romans to punish rebels and criminals, and the slow death by hanging on the cross was the most excruciating experience of pain in the world. Jesus knew beforehand every detail of his coming cruel suffering, humiliation, rejection and death, but he welcomed it all wholeheartedly according to the eternal plan of God his Father. Today, the challenge from the cross for us is to accept our unavoidable share of pain and suffering in this life,

deriving strength and inspiration from the suffering of Christ. By willingly accepting the most terrible sufferings of torture and the excruciating suffering and humiliation of crucifixion, Jesus teaches us that our pain and suffering have a redemptive value as his suffering and death redeemed mankind from the bondage of sin. It was in fact a condition for his disciples. “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross and follow Me.” (Mt 16: 24). Therefore, let us learn to welcome in the same way the pain involved in controlling our evil tendencies and practicing more selfcontrol. Let welcome the pain involved in sharing our blessings sacrificially with others. Let also welcome the pain and humiliation involved in standing for Christ and his teachings and principles. Today Christians are reminded that Good Friday is the road to Easter Sunday. While Good Friday is the day we remember the crucifixion of Jesus, there’s more to it than remembering. It is the road of Easter Sunday. There is no Easter Sunday without Good Friday. Many a times, people want to skip Good Friday because it brings sadness and gloom and want to go straight to Ester Sunday. However as Jesus says, “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone, but if it dies, it produces many” (John 12:24) To sum up, Jesus’ message surrounding the event on Good Friday was revolutionary in his day, and is still life-changing today. It was against all conventional wisdom that Jesus’ death took place. There is no justification for all what Jesus underwent, except His love for humanity. Through this event, Jesus taught peace in an age of violence. He taught forgiveness in an age of victimization. He taught humility in an age of spiritual arrogance and self-righteousness. He taught equality in an age of division and subjugation. He taught love in a world of hatred and violence. He taught truth in a world of lies and hypocrisy. He taught dignity of life in a world of lack of respect for helpless and marginalized. Today as we commemorate the passion and death of Jesus, we are called become of peace not only in words but in action in an age of violence. We are invited to become champions of unconditional forgiveness in an age of victimization and revenge. We are called to become humble in an age of spiritual arrogance and imposition. We are called to become agents of unconditional love in an age of hatred. We are called to become promoters of life and dignity in an age that lacks respect of life and dignity. Have a grace-filled Good Friday. Fr. Sojan Xavier, Chancellor and Youth Director, Diocese of Kohima

from such forces. The statement lamented the callous attitude of some leaders to infringe upon the religious sentiments of the Christian community by declaring “Good Governance Day” on Christmas day and now “Digital India Day” on Good Friday. It is hoped that our leaders while planning policies for the progressive development of the nation will strive to carry all the citizens along its stride. One must not limit progress and development only to the material and economic, to a mono-culture and mono-system. Along with material and economic development, human being must also grow and develop in their attitudes and actions, broaden their outlook and perspectives to accept and accommodate differences. Let not development be at the cost of unity and integration instead let unity and integration, multi-culture and diversity be the cornerstone of India’s growth and progress. Thomas Toretkiu, Secretary to Bishop, Kohima

Reader’s Post Letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi

Sir,

Warm Christian Greetings to you in the most high and matchless name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. That sir, my attention is drawn towards as to why the BJP led NDA Government under your able leadership is paying no due attention on Secular Democratic set up of the great Indian Nation as envisaged in the Indian Constitution. It has been the fabric of the Democratic set up of Indian Nation since adoption of the Constitution. It is to remind you sir, that the Christians and the other religious minorities in India of yesteryear has made equal sacrifices and contributed in molding the modern India of what India is Today. The past Governments had adopted policies for the upliftment of other religious minorities thereby upholding the great democratic values as enshrined in the Indian Constitution. Very unfortunately upon your becoming the PM of India in less than two years has made India bleed on religious ground by openly discriminating religious minorities on ground and papers particularly the Christians. It is disheartening to see that your leadership has been blind to the many discrimination committed by the majority Hindus who never bothered the sentiments of the minority and secular fabric of the Nation. That in a short stint of BJP rule in the center with an ulterior motives- your government have grievously hurt the sentiments of millions valuable minorities. That sir, It is unbecoming and pure discrimination by your government to have introduced the bills on the dates of importance for Christians Viz: 1. The declaration of Good Governance Day on the 25th December. The day when Christians around the world celebrates “CHRISTMAS DAY” , the most sacred day celebrated all over the world since centuries of its inception. 2.The declaration of Digital India on the “GOOD FRIDAY “ the 14 th April which is yet another most sacred day for Christians who mourns for the sacrificial death made by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to save the perishing world, observed by Christians around the world for centuries. 3. Besides your leniency towards those who commit crimes against the Christians and frequent destruction of Churches across India shows an unbecoming nature of you leadership. That Sir, these few points mentioned above clearly indicated that under your leadership will unfortunately defeat the ideal of India as secular democratic nation as envisaged in the constitution of India and divide the once great democratic nation of the world. In this context may I sincerely appeal to your honorable Chair not to Distort the Secular and Democratic ideals of India but rather bring better innovative ideas to make India the most peaceful and deserving place to live in. With utmost sincerity may I appealed your esteemed Chair to repeal these discriminatory bills to allow us Christians to live in India without discrimination and alienation. “Let the admirable stature and status of the Prime Minister’s Office that you hold today be honored by ushering in an accommodating spirit and positive development to transform the present discriminating and divided India in to a New United Secular Democratic India in Truth and Spirit.” Thank You Sir. Dr. H. Inato Jimomi, A Humble Concern Citizen, Dimapur

Nagaland Post, Dimapur friday, april 14, 2017

New Delhi, Apr 13 (IANS/AGENCIES): India said on Thursday that the alleged Indian spy sentenced to death in Pakistan was innocent of the charges hurled at him, adding efforts were on to bring back Jadhav to India. The External Affairs Ministry also said that New Delhi was not aware where Kulbhushan Jadhav was held and the condition he was in due to Islamabad’s refusal to provide consular access to him. “We have no information and the Pakistan government has also not shared with us his location and how and where he is held and what his condition is,” spokesman Gopal Baglay told the media. He reiterated that there was no credibility to Jad-

hav’s secret military trial and described as “baseless” the charges of espionage and waging war against Islamabad levelled against him. He said India was engaged in efforts to bring back Jadhav but added that he would not like to speculate on the steps being taken, including who all New Delhi may talk to. The spokesman said he had no information about the alleged abduction of a retired Pakistani military officer in Nepal.

WALK-IN-INTERVIEW FOR PROJECT ASSISTANT

MUMBAI, APR 13 (PTI): A special court on Thursday issued non-bailable arrest warrant against controversial preacher Zakir Naik in connection with a money laundering case. The Enforcement Directorate sought the NBW against Naik, saying that the preacher has not joined the investigation so far. The central probe agency, which moved the court earlier this week, had said that although Naik was served summons repeatedly, he had failed to appear before it. The ED registered a criminal case against Naik and others last December after taking cognisance of an NIA complaint under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

The ED is looking into the charges of alleged illegal funds laundered by the accused in the case and the subsequent proceeds of crime thus generated. Naik, 51, who is said to be staying in Saudi Arabia to evade arrest after some perpetrators of the Dhaka terror strike last year claimed they were inspired by him, has been booked along with unnamed Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) officials under section 153-A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion and doing acts prejudicial to the maintenance of harmony) of the IPC, besides various sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).

Defiant Karnan ‘summons’ CJI, six SC judges Ko l kata , A p r 1 3 (IANS): In a renewed confrontation with the Supreme Court, Calcutta High Court judge Justice C.S. Karnan on Thursday passed a “judicial order” against seven Supreme Court judges, including Chief Justice Jagdish Singh Khehar, for “violating” the Scheduled Castes and Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and directed them to “appear” before him on April 28. It is not clear if the “order” has any legal validity since the apex court had taken away administrative and judicial powers from Karnan. The seven judges had issued a suo motu contempt order against Karnan in February after he had in January named 20 ‘corrupt judges’, seeking probe against them.

A differently-abled person participates in a signature campaign against the death sentence to former Indian Navy officer Kulbhushan Jadhav by Pakistani military court, in Nagpur.

Commanders at Rawalpindi decided that “no compromise will be made on the death sentence”, the InterServices Public Relations (ISPR) said. Army chief General Qamar Bajwa, who was briefed about the progress on Jadhav’s case, presided over the meeting, the ISPR said. A Pakistani military court on April 10 awarded the capital punishment to Jadhav, who Islamabad says was an Indian intelligence agent and was caught in Balochistan in March last year. Jadhav was charged with espionage and waging war against Pakistan. India has said Jadhav, whose family lives in Mumbai, was abducted from Iran where he was engaged in business and warned that if he was hanged, it would amount to premeditated murder. Gen Bajwa also lauded the efforts of intelligence agencies and other law enforcers towards the successful execution of counterterrorism operations across Pakistan, the ISPR said. Pakistan has maintained that alleged Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav was caught red-handed and claimed this was a clear evidence of Indian involvement in sabotage activities in the country.

The S-GST, which will allow states to levy the tax after VAT and other state levies are subsumed in the GST, will have to be passed by each state Assembly. The GST rates are to be discussed by the GST Council on May 18-19. The powerful GST Council, comprising Centre and states, has recommended a four-tier tax structure -- 5, 12, 18 and 28 percent. On top of the highest slab, a cess will be imposed on luxury and demerit goods to compensate the states for revenue loss in the first five years of GST implementation.

Cognizant had announced a USD 3.4 billion buyback while TCS is returning Rs 16,000 crore to its shareholders. Two of Infosys’ former CFOs -- T V Mohandas Pai and V Balakrishnan -- had recently exhorted institutional investors to raise questions about the huge cash pile on the company’s books, saying investors have an obligation to protect their investment. Infosys CFO M D Ranganath said the company is focussed on efficiency and margins. “Capital allocation policy clearly says (it will be) up to Rs 13,000 crore”.

Bengaluru, Apr 13 (PTI): Infosys, India’s second-biggest software exporter, Thursday announced plans to return Rs 13,000 crore from its cash pile to shareholders after it reported an almost flat net profit in the March quarter and sales outlook that fell short of estimates. Yielding to pressure from a group of founders and former executives, the company announced a share buyback programme and a pledge to raise dividends. It also appointed Ravi Venkatesan, an independent director, co-Chairman in a bid to address the founders’ corporate governance concerns. It will begin to pay 70 percent of annual free cash flow as dividend compared to a previous policy of sharing up to half its post-tax profit.

Chemical attack ‘100 per cent fabrication’: Assad

A handout picture released by the Syrian presidency’s press office shows Syrian President Bashar al-Assad during an interview with AFP in the capital Damascus on April 12, 2017. groups that control Idlib province, where Khan Sheikhun is located. Images of the aftermath, showing victims convulsing and foaming at the mouth, sent shockwaves around the world. But Assad insisted it was “not clear whether it happened or not, because how can you verify a video? You have a lot of fake videos now.” “We don’t know whether those dead children were killed in Khan Sheikhun. Were they dead at all?” He said Khan Sheikhun had no strategic value and was not currently a bat-

tle front. “This story is not convincing by any means.” The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has begun an investigation into the alleged attack, but Russia yesterday blocked a UN Security Council resolution demanding Syria cooperate with the probe. And Assad said he could “only allow any investigation when it’s impartial, when we make sure that unbiased countries will participate in this delegation in order to make sure that they won’t use it for politicised purposes.”

B’desh HC stays arson cases against Zia DHAKA, APR 13 (PTI): Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Khaleda Zia today heaved a sigh of relief as the High Court stayed the trial against her in four separate vandalism and arson cases. The order came after the court heard the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) chairperson’s petition challenging the trial court’s cognisance of the charge sheet by police. Justice Miftah Uddin Choudhury and Justice ANM Bashir Ullah passed the order after hearing four separate petitions by 71year-old Khaleda seeking to stay the proceedings. The court also issued four separate rulings asking the government to explain why the proceedings should not be scrapped, a local media report said. After the BNP was prevented from holding a rally on January 5, 2015 to protest the anniversary of the 10th Bangladesh parliamentary elections, Khaleda had called a nationwide blockade. In the course of the blockade that lasted 90 days, vehicles and buildings were fire-bombed, leading to almost 150 deaths, bdnews24.com reported.

Beslan massacre: ECHR slams Russia

FILE -- In this file photo taken on Monday Sept. 6, 2004, a relative of Madina (10) killed together with her mother in the school hostage, weeps as she holds Madina’s portrait during her funeral in Beslan, Russia.

S T R A S B O U R G (FRANCE), APR 13 (AFP): The European Court of Human Rights ruled today there were “serious failings” in Russia’s handling of the Beslan school siege by Chechen rebels in 2004 in which over 330 people were killed, many of them children. The court said although Russian authorities had information that an attack was being planned on a school in North Ossetia, they failed to do enough to disrupt the plot and had not sufficiently protected the hostages. Russia reacted furiously to the judgement, saying it was “absolutely unacceptable”. The school was stormed

on September 1, 2004 by militants demanding the withdrawal of Russian troops from the war-torn republic of Chechnya. The attackers herded 1,100 people including 800 children into a gymnasium and rigged the building with explosives. After three days of fruitless negotiations, explosions in the school prompted Russian security forces to storm the gymnasium. A total of 184 children were among the 334 dead as the siege came to a bloody end. Russian authorities argue they took the best course of action faced with armed extremists, but many of the survivors and their relatives believe the security services

U.S. drops ‘mother of all bombs’ in Afghanistan NEW YORK, APR 13 (AGENCIES): The US military has dropped the biggest non-nuclear bomb in its arsenal on an Islamic State group tunnel complex in Afghanistan, the Pentagon says. The GBU-43 Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb (MOAB), known as “the mother of all bombs”, was first tested in 2003, but had not been used before in combat. The Pentagon confirmed the weapon was dropped from a US aircraft in Nangarhar province. It follows last week’s death of a US special forces soldier in Afghanistan. The 21,600lb ( 9 , 8 0 0 k g ) b o m b wa s dropped in Achin district on Thursday evening local time, the Pentagon said. Gen John Nicholson, commander of US forces in Afghanistan, said the jihadist group’s “losses have mounted, they are using IEDs, bunkers and tunnels to thicken their defence. “This is the right munition to reduce these obstacles and maintain the momentum of our offensive.”

were to blame for the firefight. The case was brought to the Strasbourg-based court by more than 400 Russians either involved in the incident or whose relatives were taken hostage or killed. “The authorities had been in possession of sufficiently specific information of a planned terrorist attack in the area, linked to an educational institution,” the court said. “Never theless, not enough had been done to disrupt the terrorists meeting and preparing.” The judges found that “insufficient steps had been taken to prevent (the attackers) travelling on the day of the attack; security at the school had not been increased; and neither the school nor the public had been warned of the threat”. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia found it “impossible” to agree with the wording of the judgement. “Such phrasing for a country that has suffered an attack is absolutely unacceptable,” he told journalists. The court found that through its actions, the Russian state had violated Article 2 of the European Convention of Human Rights, which guarantees a right to life.

DAMASCUS, APR 13 (AFP): Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad said a suspected chemical weapons attack was a “fabrication” to justify a US strike on his forces. The embattled leader, whose country has been ravaged by six years of war, said his firepower had not been affected by the attack ordered by US President Donald Trump, but acknowledged further strikes were possible. Assad insisted his forces had turned over all their chemical weapons stocks years ago and would never use the banned arms. The exclusive interview with AFP in Damascus yesterday was his first since a suspected chemical weapons attack that killed dozens of civilians in the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhun. “Definitely, 100 per cent for us, it’s fabrication,” he said of the incident. “Our impression is that the West, mainly the United States, is hand-in-glove with the terrorists. They fabricated the whole story in order to have a pretext for the attack,” added Assad, who has been in power for 17 years. At least 87 people, including 31 children, were killed in the alleged attack, according to the Britainbased Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor. But Assad said evidence came only from “a branch of Al-Qaeda,” referring to a former jihadist affiliate that is among the

We have some young players in the group at the moment and I believe with my experience, I can add to the team going forward.”

NEW DELHI, Apr 13 (PTI): Omitted from the Target Olympic Podium S c h e m e, I n d i a ’s l o n e double Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar on Thursday gracefully accepted it, saying there was no point taking funds from the government when he is out of action. Besides Sushil, London Games bronze medallist Yogeshwar Dutt has also been excluded from the list, and the famous Phogat sisters Geeta and Babita - faced the axe too. “I think it is a right decision. My name should have been removed from the list since I am not in action. If I am not contributing on the mat, why should I be a part of any funding,” Sushil told PTI. “I don’t want to take anything from anyone when I am not playing. I

medallist Sakshi Malik (women’s 58kg) for the TOPS funding. Sakshi, Vinesh and Bajrang figured in the original list of 2015-16 also. Although Sakshi has been included, some doubts have emerged over her continuation in the sport after her marriage. Although Geeta, 2010 Commonwealth Games gold medallist and Babita, 2 0 1 4 C o m m o n we a l t h Games gold winner, are still competing, their form off late have not been encouraging. Geeta has not participated in tournaments regularly, while Babita has had injury issues in recent times. Both the sisters hardly fought during the Pro Wrestling League (PWL) earlier this year, citing injuries. When asked about WFI’s move to exclude her and Geeta from the TOPS list, a visibly upset Babita said that she had no information about the omission. “ I d o n’ t wa n t t o comment on it because I do not have any information about it,” Babita said. WFI assistant secretary Vinod Tomar said the list was prepared by the national coaches with an eye on 2020 Tokyo.

a qualifier for Manchester United prior to moving to the Spanish capital in 2009. And he scored twice in his only previous appearance in the UEFA Super Cup as Madrid defeated Sevilla 2-0 in 2014. Wednesday’s brace extended Ronaldo’s lead over Barcelona rival Lionel Messi in the race to reach a Champions League century. Messi has 97 European goals, 94 of which have come in the Champions League, and is the top scorer in this season’s competition with 11. However, the Argentine is unlikely to have many more opportunities to add to that tally this season after Barcelona were thrashed 3-0 by Juventus in the first leg of their quarter-final tie

on Tuesday. Raul is next on 76 goals, followed by Italian legend Filippo Inzaghi on 70. Gerd Muller scored 69, and Andriy Shevchenko hit 67.

Ko l kata , A p r 1 3 (Agencies): A brutal batting assault by the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) halted Kings X I P u n j a b ’s ( K X I P ) juggernaut during their Indian Premier League clash at the iconic Eden Gardens on Thursday. The home team managed to get the 171-run target by losing just two wickets and with 21 balls to spare. A surprise decision by KKR skipper Gautam Gambhir to open batting with spinner Sunil Narine resulted in an explosive batting display from both ends right from the word go. Naraine contributed 37 runs off just 18 balls that included three sixes.

A f t e r N a r a i n e ’s wicket, Gambhir continued his batting exploits hitting boundaries all over the ground. Gambhir made 72 runs off just 49 balls hitting 11 boundaries. Earlier in the day, KKR pacer Umesh Yadav made a successful comeback as his four wickets helped team restrict KXIP to 170/9. Yadav, who missed two matches because of a niggle following a hectic Test series against Australia, struck thrice in his fourth over to cover up for another poor display on the field. KXIP were 95/2 after 10 overs before Umesh dismissed opposition skipper Glenn Maxwell (25

off 14) for his first wicket. The visitors once again stepped up the momentum with Wriddhiman Saha (25 off 17) and David Miller (28 off 19) putting up 57 runs in 32 balls to put their team on course for a total close to 200. K X I P we r e g o i n g comfortably at 145/4 in 17 overs when Umesh made his presence felt with a flurry of wickets to dismiss Miller and Saha, while Axar Patel (0) became his fourth victim. Put in, Kings XI Punjab were off to a spectacular start with 10 runs from first over as Manan Vohra (28) and Hashim Amla (25) put on their second successive fiftyplus opening partnership.

New Delhi, Apr 13 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : I n d i a n trailblazing gymnast Dipa Karmakar and wrestler Sakshi Malik on Thursday received the coveted Padma Shri Award from President Pranab Mukherjee in the national capital. Karmakar, hailing from Agar tala, missed the bronze medal by 0.150 points as American gymnast Simone Biles won her third gold medal at the Rio Olympics last year. The 23-year-old had created history when she became the first Indian gymnast to enter the final on her debut at the quadrennial multi-discipline games after finishing eighth in the qualifying round. She had initially come to spotlight after winning a bronze medal at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, thus becoming the first Indian female gymnast to achieve the feat. Sakshi, on the other hand, won the bronze medal in the 58 kg category at the 2016 Summer Olympics. With the win, Malik became the first woman wrestler in India to win an Olympic medal and fourth Indian woman athlete to clinch the coveted medal after Karnam Malleshwari, Mar y Kom and Saina Nehwal. Meanwhile, discus thrower Vikas Gowda and Paralympian Mariyappan Thangavelu were other notable winners of the prestigious award.

Munich, Apr 13 (Agencies): Cristiano Ronaldo made more history by becoming the first player to score 100 goals in European competition with a double in Real Madrid’s Champions League quarterfinal first leg against Bayern Munich on Wednesday. The four-time world player of the year took his tally to 98 goals in the Champions League with goals in the 47th and 77th minutes. Ronaldo is now bearing down on becoming the first player to score 100 Champions League goals. The Por tuguese has now scored 82 goals in 84 appearances in the Champions League for Madrid. He also netted 15 in the competition and one in

chances throughout the 90 and despite an impressive defensive display, know they will need a monumental performance in the secondleg if they wish to progress to the last four. The Foxes settled after 20 minutes but a defensive lapse from Danny Simpson in the 28th minute allowed Griezmann to run free on the left-flank before been brought down by Marc Albrighton, leaving referee Jonas Eriksson to point to the spot although contact seemed to be made outside the area. Griezmann stepped up and converted his spot-kick into the bottom left-hand corner. An improved Leicester side began the second-half with a decent spell and registered a shot in the 53rd minute after Riyad Mahrez’s shot from just outside the area sailed over the bar, a sign the away side were warming to the task in hand. The Algerian had a penalty appeal rightly turned down on the hour mark after he tumbled theatrically following minimum contact in the box. Both sides struggled to conjure up late chances and with only a one goal margin, set the scene for another great European night at the King Power Stadium.
