Oppn MPs move impeachment of CJI

NEW DELHI, APR 20 (AGENCIES): The Congress-led seven Opposition parties on Friday met Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu and submitted an impeachment motion for the removal of Chief Justice Dipak Misra.

Seventy one MPs of seven Opposition parties, including Congress, NCP, CPI, CPM, SP, BSP and Muslim League, signed the motion and the parties like TMC, DMK and AIADMK maintained a distance.

Listing five allegations of “misbehaviour” against Misra, Congress leader Kapil Sibal, at a press conference, said the notice for impeachment of the CJI has been moved “with a heavy heart”. “As representatives of the people, we are entitled to hold the Chief Justice accountable, just as we are accountable to the people.

The majesty of the law is more important than the majesty of any office,” he said. The Opposition parties also demanded a probe against the CJI. Sibal said, “When SC judges themselves believe”, the judiciary’s independence is under threat, “alluding to the functioning of the

CJI, should we stand still and do nothing”. While the notice for impeachment bears 71 signatures, Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad said they have requested the chairman to exclude the names of seven of them as they have retired from the Upper House.

“We have moved a motion for removal of Chief Justice of India under five grounds of misbehaviour,” he said. The five charges levelled against the CJI in the notice include “conspiracy to pay illegal gratification” in the Prasad Education Trust case and denial of permission to proceed against a retired high court judge in the same matter.

Another charge listed by the opposition parties

pertains to a piece of land, which the CJI acquired as an advocate by giving a “false affidavit”.

An impeachment motion in the Rajya Sabha has to be supported by at least 50 MPs of the Upper House, while the number of MPs supporting such a motion in the Lok Sabha is 100.

Once the notice for impeachment is submitted to the Rajya Sabha chairman, he will ascertain whether there is merit or ground for moving such a motion.

In case he finds merit, then he may form a committee to look into it, else he can reject it. If moved, this will be the first time ever in the country’s history that an impeachment would be moved against the Chief Justice of India. The motion has 71

SC concerned

Supreme Court on Friday termed as very unfortunate the public statements, including those made by lawmakers, on impeachment of judges.

“We are all very disturbed about it,” a Bench comprising Justices A K Sikri and Ashok Bhushan said after the counsel appearing for the petitioner raised the issue of politicians making public statements on impeachment of judges.

Supreme Court asked Attorney General KK Venugopal to assist it to deal with the plea, which has also sought a gag on the media from reporting such statements.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Friday accused the Congress party of trivialising the power of impeachment and using it as a political tool.

In a scathing Facebook post, Jaitley said the 114page judgment in the Judge Loya death case authored

by Justice DY Chandrachud on behalf of the three-judge bench of the apex court “exposes every fact of the conspiracy” to generate falsehood as propaganda in the public and political space.

He said Amit Shah had no role in the Sohrabuddin case and it was an alleged encounter executed by some central agencies through the state police. Referring to the move to impeach Chief Justice of India, Jaitley said: “Congress and its friends have started using impeachment as a political tool.”

Stressing that trivialising the use of power of impeachment is a “dangerous event”, he said the move is an attempt to “intimidate” a judge and send a message to other judges “that if you don’t agree with us, fifty MPs are enough for a revenge action”.

Attended by Ao Senden office-bearers, Jamir remarked Naga society is confused and politics has landed it in a pool of madness. He said today Nagas are living in a society where there is no peace and understanding, nor any future.

He added that the Nagas, the Aos in particular, have a “never mind” at-

Real issue on RD funding sidelined: NPF AYO asks NPF party to DIMAPUR, APR 20 (NPN): Put in the dock by various organisations for personalising an individual while alleging anomalies in Rural Development (RD) department, Naga People’s Front (NPF) expressed regret that the issue was snowballing into a major controversy with tribal and clan organizations getting involved and resulting in the original issue getting sidelined.

NPF’s press bureau Friday said the party maintained silence despite various organizations having issued rejoinders, as it expected the PDA government to come out with some clarifications when the issue was raised last week.

However, NPF said its silence seemed to have been misconstrued and for which, the matter has taken a “startlingly different direction.” NPF lamented that the direction of the matter has led to leader of opposition TR Zeliang now becoming the target.

NPF said described it as a “calamitous development” which would deal democracy a grievous blow. It asked what was the meaning of democracy if the opposition is deterred, discouraged and disparaged

from pointing out anomalies and discrepancies in governance?

Further, NPF said a society where the voice of opposition – both from political parties and well-meaning citizens – being muzzled, gagged or muffled was certainly not heading in the right direction and would mean that people should prepare themselves to go back to Dark Ages.

On charges of having made a personal attack against RD principal secretary Abeio Kire, NPF clarified that the facts and figures furnished vis-à-vis allocation of funds to one particular village have not been repudiated in the rejoinder and those accusing the party of harbouring a personal vendetta have now singled out T.R. Zeliang.

Maintaining that it had nothing against any individual government official, NPF pointed out that the principal secretary was the administrative head of department and had there been any other official in his place, then that official too would have come under scrutiny if he or she happened to reside in a village that was beneficiary of such an abnormal allotted (Cont’d on p-7) amount.

substantiate charges

DIMAPUR, APR 20 (NPN): Angami Youth Organization (AYO) has expressed exasperation at the NPF’s allegations against Lhubeilatuo Kire principal secretary RD, and demanded that NPF provide appropriate evidence to prove their allegations or apologise to him publicly.

In a press release, AYO president, Neinguvotuo Krose, and general secretary, Kekhrie Pfukha, termed NPF’s revelations as “baseless allegations” tantamount to defamation. AYO said they were devoid of any substantial evidence or reasonable explanations “except that a personal vendetta is levelled to make him a political scapegoat and a victim of any unexplainable reasons best known to themselves only.”

AYO opined that any ruling government or opposition holding grudges or criticism against each other was “absolutely natural.”

However, it said that by resorting to a “pathetic standard”, NPF stooped so low that such unnatural measure was completely against all conventional norms both professionally and (Cont’d on p-7) traditionally.

the gospel in their lives and how they interpret the Bible in their personal lives. These, he said, were things that would be of interest to the people they would be serving.

Correspondent KO H I M A , A P R 2 0 (NPN): Seyie Gas Agency Kohima, on Friday, distributed new LPG connections for free to 30 eligible women living Below Poverty Line (BPL) and SC/ST families from in and around Kohima, at D Block Panchayat Hall, coinciding with the celebration of National ‘Ujjwala Diwas’, Proprietor of the agency, Kuolachalie Seyie said that full sets of new LPG connections were distributed in line with the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, a scheme of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas for providing LPG connections to women from BPL households.

He said the scheme

aims to empower women and improve their health by easing the burden of cooking with firewood.

He said that besides Aadhaar cards, residency proofs and income certificates, intending local women applicants who do not have LPG connections in their name, have to submit SC/ST certificates.

According to Seyie, the scheme envisages that giving LPG connections to BPL households will ensure universal cooking gas coverage in the country while also empowering women and protecting their health. This also is an attempt towards making the country smokeless, he said.

The scheme aims to select beneficiaries from BPL families only and

give preference to SC/ST and weaker sections of society.

Quoting WHO estimates, Manager of Seyie Gas Agency, Kezieno said about 5 lakh deaths in India alone was reported due to unclean cooking fuels mostly and said most of the death were premature deaths due to non-communicable diseases such as heart disease, strokes and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and lung cancer.

According to experts, having an open fire in the kitchen is like burning 400 cigarettes an hour, she said.

AMK president, Kevinourheno Seyie also spoke at the programme while Thepfulhousa Shüya demonstrated safe operation of LPG at home.

Manipur to pass bill on death penalty to rapists

Guwahati, Apr 20 (Agencies): The BJPled coalition government in Manipur is all set to pass a bill that would award capital punishment to those involved in rape of minors.

The bill is likely to be passed during the upcoming Assembly session. While condemning the incidents of rape across the country, Chief Minister N Biren Singh said that rapists are criminals who do not have any colour or belongingness, News 18 reported.

“The Manipur government had recently announced the establishment of two investigative units in the state to address cases of crime against women.

In the upcoming Assembly session, we will try to bring in a bill for awarding capital punishment for those who rape and murder minors,” said N Biren.

However, human rights activists in Manipur do not agree with the government’s decision.

Human Rights defender Babloo Loitongbam said that such a decision would ensure retribution, not justice.

“We don’t agree to capital punishment. It is not going to solve the problem,” said Loitongbam.

Peoples’ Resurgence and Justice Alliance (PRJA) convenor Erendro Leichombam asked the state government and the Centre to bring in a bill that would deal not just with civilians, but also armed forces personnel convicted of rape.

Leichomban pointed out that the state is still awaiting justice in the rape and murder of Thangjam Manorama in 2004.

Erendro, however, said that rapists should be given maximum punishment instead of death penalty.

“Rapists should be put in jail permanently. We welcome the government’s decision to protect women of the state, but we are against capital punishment. The bill would essentially address civilians found guilty of crime, but the Indian Army would not come under the ambit of this bill. Similar laws should be applied for men in uniform,” he said.

PRJA had recently organised a candlelight march in Imphal against the rape

cases of Kathua, Unnao and Manipur.

According to the Women Action for Development (WAD), an organization working for the rights of women and children, 38 rape cases were reported in Manipur from January to November 25, 2017, of which 28 rape victims are minors. As many as 15 rape cases have been filed in Manipur since the beginning of 2018. The victims and their families still await justice.

After the gruesome rape and murder of an eightyear-old in Kathua, J&K chief minister Mehbooba Mufti and Union minister Maneka Gandhi had proposed a law to make death penalty mandatory for those who violate minors.

MP, Rajasthan, Haryana and Arunachal Pradesh have already passed bills in their respective state Assemblies to award death penalties in similar crimes.

Facing flak for mishandling the alleged Unnao rape case, the UP government too has decided to bring in a law awarding death penalty to rapists in cases of assault on minors.

IMPHAL, Apr 20: Atleast nine houses were gutted in a massive fire in Manipur’s Moreh town at Indo-Myanmar border on Thursday night.

S h i llo n g, A p r 2 0 (PTI): The construction work for the much-awaited medical college in Tura area of West Garo Hills District will start soon, Health Minister AL Hek told the Assembly Friday.

by Leader of Opposition Mukul Sangma during the Question Hour.

The cost will be shared by the state and the Centre on the basis of 90:10 ratio and the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has already sanctioned Rs 51 crore, he added.

The leader of opposition had sought an explanation from the government for the delay in according approvals to the project.

Adding to Hek’s reply, Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma said the state elections have delayed the process and the government is reviewing the matter.

Rahul cannot apologise Scribe’s attackers will be punished: Min to save Amit Shah: MPCC Correspondent

IMPHAL, Apr 20: Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) Friday said that there was no reason for AICC president Rahul Gandhi tender apology to BJP national president Amit Shah to save him, as he (Shah) has been involved in the Justice Loya encounter case. The Congress made this statement, after chief minister N Biren Singh and state BJP president Kh Bhabananda had, demanded an apology from AlCC president Rahul Gandhi and his team for allegedly making false charges against BJP national president Amit Shah. “Our president Rahul Gandhi cannot apologize

for saving BJP president Amit Shah”, MPCC president TN Haokip said while addressing press conference at Imphal Congress Bhavan.

He alleged that judiciary has been put under control by the BJP ever since the party came to power at the Centre. “Perhaps for the first time in the history of India, four Supreme Court Judges came to media protesting against the chief justice of India Deepak Mishra,” Haokip said. The BJP were spreading false propaganda to protect Amit Shah, as PIL to constitute an independent enquiry committee to investigate the murder case of Justice Loya has been filed, he said.

were elections. Yes it has been a month now and we are reviewing the matter but I can assure you that it (according sanction) will not take five years like it did before,” he said in an apparent dig at the previous government.

Mukul Sangma, however, alleged that “too much of politics” over the matter has led to the delay.

The former CM had laid the foundation stone for the project six years ago.

Replying to the CM’s jibe, the leader of opposition said the previous government had tried to remove encroachments from the Tura civil hospital complex during its tenure but “sheer politics” over the matter prevented it from doing so.

Interrupting Mukul Sangma, Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong said, “We don’t want lectures during the Question Hour.”

The leader of opposition, in turn, asked the deputy chief minister to refrain from disturbing him when he was trying to raise an important issue.

He urged the government to “show its seriousness on the matter” as over 100 acres of land have been donated by the people for the project.

Dearest Kevi, You have given us many reasons to celebrate the bond that we share... And on your birthday we want to wish you all the happiness in all that you do.

Wishing you a happy birthday With love- Helin and Aien

Unnao Court extends BJP MLA Sengar’s CBI remand

BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar being produced at a CBI court in Lucknow recently.

Kanpur, Apr 20 (AGENCIES): An Unnao court extended the CBI remand of Kuldeep Sengar, a BJP MLA accused of raping a teenage girl last June, by seven days on Friday evening.

The central investigation agency produced Sengar, who has been charged under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offence (POCSO) Act, at the designated court number 10 on Friday evening.

Special judge (POCSO) Ashutosh Kumar granted the extension of remand after hearing the arguments of special prosecutor Chandrika Bajpai.

The court then directed that Sengar be produced before it at 10 am on April 27. Only CBI officials and the special prosecutor were present at the hearing.

A CBI court in Lucknow had earlier remanded Sengar in the CBI’s custody for seven days, a term that was due to expire on Friday night. Apart from sexual assault, the BJP MLA is also accused of hatching a conspiracy to murder the

rape survivor’s father. The CBI is investigating both the cases simultaneously.

Sengar’s brother, Atul Singh, is the prime accused in the murder. He and four other have been remanded in CBI custody for seven days. The probe agency had earlier sent another accused, Shashi Singh, to jail in the case but did not seek her custody.

According to the FIR, Shashi had taken the rape survivor to the scene of the crime on the pretext of getting her a job. He son, Shubham, is also an accused in the case.

The probe agency had questioned Sengar and his aides along with the victim and her family at its regional office in Lucknow on Thursday.

Meanwhile the state government withdrew the security cover provided to Bangarmau, Unnao BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar. Entitled Y category security, Sengar was covered by three security personnel including a commando round the clock while five PAC personnel remained

deployed outside his house in Unnao. Accorded cover by high-powered committee, Sengar was given security in other states as well.

Sengar is in CBI custody as the central agency is probing rape and murder charges levelled against the four-time MLA. He won the first election as MLA from Unnao Sadar by contesting on BSP ticket in 2002 but switched sides later on to join Samajwadi Party. He was again elected in 2007 and 2012. Partyhopper Sengar joined BJP in 2017 and won elections from Bangarmau.

Subsequently home department in UP approved his application to grant security cover and he was awarded Y category security. The decision to revoke the security was taken by the state government soon after an FIR against Sengar was lodged on April 12.

CBI arrested the MLA on April 13 and it was then that the home department started the process of withdrawing the security personnel. According to sources, the file to revoke security was cleared on April 17 and the next day Unnao SP was given instructions to pull out men deployed at Sengar’s house in Makhi.

Meanwhile, accepting the application of CBI on Friday, Unnao court extended custody period of Sengar. CBI would have seven more days to question Sengar.

Earlier CBI special court in Lucknow had granted custody of MLA to CBI till April 21.

Malegaon blast: Supreme Court directs Purohit

Lt Col Shrikant Purohit New Delhi, Apr 20 (AGENCIES): In a relief to Malegaon blast accused Lt Col Shrikant Purohit, the Supreme Court today clarified its order and granted him liberty to raise the issue of grant of sanction to prosecute him under the stringent UAPA at the time of framing of charges.

The apex court, while granting bail to Purohit on August 21 last year, had said the issue of grant of prosecution sanction could be raised at the time of trial.

“We clarify that the observation be taken in a context that the issue of prosecution sanction can be raised and considered at the time of framing of charges,” a bench of Justices R K Agrawal and A M Sapre said.

Senior advocate Harish Salve, appearing for Purohit, said an observation in the last year’s bail order of the apex court has been construed as that the issue of prosecution sanction be raised and considered at the time of trial.

He sought a clarification of order saying this was the substantial question of law and Purohit should be allowed to raise the issue at the time of framing of charges itself.

On January 18, Purohit had moved the top court challenging the Bombay High Court order dismiss-

ing his plea challenging the sanction granted by the Maharashtra government to prosecute him under the stringent Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).

The high court had on December 18 last year dismissed his plea saying the issue of grant of prosecution sanction under the UAPA, could be raised at the time of trial.

Purohit had told the high court that under the UAPA, the sanctioning authority has to seek a report from an appropriate authority. He had contended that the sanction was given in January 2009 when no sanctioning authority was holding the post.

Six persons were killed and 101 were injured when an improvised explosive device strapped on a motorcycle went off at Malegaon, a town with a sizeable Muslim population in north Maharashtra’s Nashik district, on September 29, 2008.

On December 27 last year, a special NIA court had dismissed the pleas filed

by Purohit, Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur and six others accused seeking their discharge from the case.

The court had said that charges would be framed later against Thakur, Purohit, Sudhakar Dwivedi, Major (Retd) Ramesh Upadhyay, Sameer Kulkarni, Sudhakar Chaturvedi and Ajay Rahirkar.

The NIA had earlier given a clean chit to Sadhvi Pragya saying there was not enough evidence against her in the case. The court had rejected the agency’s submission saying it was difficult to accept the claim, given that her motorcycle was used in the blast.

If the charges are framed, then Purohit and

Respect Kejriwal’s request but won’t end fast: Swati Maliwal New Delhi, Apr 20 ( IANS): Delhi Commission for Women Chairperson Swati Maliwal on Friday said that she “respects” Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s request to end her hunger strike but she won’t do so.

Kejriwal tweeted on Friday urging Maliwal to end her fast after reports came in that the centre had informed the Supreme Court it has started process to amend POCSO Act to ensure the death penalty for the rape of child aged below 12.

Mumbai, Apr 20 (PTI): The Shiv Sena today denounced Prime Minister Narendra Modi for speaking about domestic issues on foreign soil and said he is coming back “empty-handed” from the UK which has given shelter to fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya.

Rs 1,000 cr allotted to develop Kalyan Growth Centre: Fadnavis

Mumbai, Apr 20 (PTI): Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today said Rs 1,000 crore have been allotted the development of Kalyan Growth Centre.

He said the proposed growth centre will create avenues of employment for the residents of Kalyan, who are dependent on neighbouring Mumbai for trade and business. He was speaking at a meeting in Mumbai to discuss development of Kalyan Growth Centre.

“The decision of setting up a Growth Centre at Kalyan has been taken keeping in mind sustainable development and better employment and financial opportunities to the youth and future generations,” Fadnavis said.

The chief minister said the government was positive towards the demand of the local residents to have a separate municipal council for 27 villages and a decision will be taken soon in that regard.

“Kalyan Growth Centre and a logistic hub at neighbouring Bhiwandi are for the planned development of that region,” he said.

“We want to move ahead with people’s consent and with utmost transparency. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has already allotted Rs 1,000 crore for the time-bound development of Kalyan Growth Centre,” he said.

said Modi should follow the advice of his predecessor Manmohan Singh and speak more often. “(Former PM) Manmohan Singh has advised Modi to speak more often and to speak on time. He has also said that Modi’s advice to him when he was the prime minister is now applicable to him as well,” the Sena said in an editorial in party mouthpiece ‘Saamana’. The former PM was quoted as saying that Modi should follow the advice he gave him when he was in office - that is to speak more.

The plea filed by advocate Sunita Tihar challenged the practice prevalent among the Dawoodi Bohra religious community and sought direction to declare it illegal and unconstitutional, non-compoundable and a non-bailable offence.

Tihar contended that India was a signatory to the UN Convention on Rights of Child and had also ratified it.

Describing the practice as “inhuman” and violative of the girl child’s rights under the Constitution’s Article 14 (Right to Equality) and Article 21 (Right to Life), the petitioner advocate sought putting in place a statutory framework.

The plea sought framing of guidelines to deal with the situation till Parliament enacts a law to curb the practice being followed by some sects of a community.

Female genital mutilation a crime: Centre to Supreme Court New Delhi, Apr 20 (IANS): The Central government on Friday told the Supreme Court that the practice of female genital mutilation (FGM) is a “crime under existing laws”.

Attorney General K.K. Venugopal asked a bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and Justice A.M. Khanwilkar to “step in and issue directions” on the issue.

“It is a crime punishable with imprisonment of seven years under the existing law...,” he said.

T h e g ove r n m e n t ’s response came on a plea seeking direction to ban female genital mutilation or “Khatna”, as it is commonly called, and declare it illegal and inhuman.

It entered its eight day on Friday. “Everyday affidavits are submitted in courts by government. Unless the law comes into force, I won’t stop. The law has to be death penalty within six months to those convicted for raping minors,” Maliwal said.

In a letter to Modi last week, Maliwal said: “I will not break my ‘anshan’ (fast) until the Prime Minister promises the country a better system for the safety of our daughters.”

Unsung heroes

or all the stinging criticisms that prime minister Narendra Modi earned for maintaining a studied silence for days while the Kathua rape exploded in the media during the early part of second week of April; the incident only served to highlight the distress within Indian society today. The prime minister in his address to the Indian community at Central Hall Westminster, London, sought to deflect criticisms of communalism linked to the rape when he maintained that ‘rape is rape’ and that it should not be politicised. The unravelling of events that overtook the heinous crime, is all too recent and very clear that the child-victim was not picked at random.

In a way, it was ironic that the prime minister had maintained that rape should not be politicised. By saying this, he has inadvertently also brought the Hindu Ekta Manch, a right wing group into focus.

The Hindu Ekta Manch, along with the ruling BJP’s state secretary, carried out a protest march in Jammu’s Kathua district to demand the release of the special police officer (SPO) accused of raping and murdering the eight-year old nomad girl. As if that is not unusual enough, a video clip of the rally that was held on February 15 shows the protestors carrying the Indian tricolour while marching through streets in support of the accused, Deepak Khajuria.

The 28-year old Khajuria, posted at Hiranagar police station in Kathua, was arrested by state crime branch on February 10 after “clinching evidence” was found against him.The President of India, Ram Nath Kovind had condemned the Kathua rape and expressed deep shock, anger and shame. He made the stinging rebuke at 6th convocation of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University in Kakriyal in Jammu and Kashmir on April 19.His condemnation of the gruesome murder of the child in Kathua underlines the Indian political class’ unanimity over the grossness of the crime. On the other hand, such unequivocal condemnations from the country’s top leadership should have come earlier and not days after their silence was deafening. While society needs to reflect on the horror of the rape and the shock over the politicisation of the heinous crime; it is also a matter of pride that the police officer who investigated the horrific crime as well as the doughty female lawyer who is prosecuting the rapist-gang have shown that justice knows no religion. Both the police officer and the lawyer are from the Hindu community and through their determined quest for justice for the victim, have proved that Hindus don’t accept fascism. SSP Ramesh Kumar Jalla, who uncovered this case, which broke all the boundaries of cruelty and inhumanity, had to face innumerable difficulties, communal hatred and threats in the process. He comes from a family of Kashmiri pandits, who had to flee from the valley due to the attacks by Muslim extremists. The other Hindu who has made the entire case turn on its head is lawyer Deepika Singh Rajawat from Jammu. She bore toxic hate and threats and was targeted for her petition to the high court that led to an investigation by the SIT and arrest of eight accused.These two are the unsung heroes who have shown that there are still justice loving civilised people who make no distinction while living up to their beliefs.

DailyDevotion Can a Saint Falsely Accuse God? All the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen… —2 Corinthians 1:20 Jesus’ parable of the talents recorded in Matthew 25:14-30 was a warning that it is possible for us to misjudge our capacities. This parable has nothing to do with natural gifts and abilities, but relates to the gift of the Holy Spirit as He was first given at Pentecost. We must never measure our spiritual capacity on the basis of our education or our intellect; our capacity in spiritual things is measured on the basis of the promises of God. If we get less than God wants us to have, we will falsely accuse Him as the servant falsely accused his master when he said, “You expect more of me than you gave me the power to do. You demand too much of me, and I cannot stand true to you here where you have placed me.” When it is a question of God’s Almighty Spirit, never say, “I can’t.” Never allow the limitation of your own natural ability to enter into the matter. If we have received the Holy Spirit, God expects the work of the Holy Spirit to be exhibited in us.

The servant justified himself, while condemning his lord on every point, as if to say, “Your demand on me is way out of proportion to what you gave to me.”

Have we been falsely accusing God by daring to worry after He has said, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you”? (Matthew 6:33). Worrying means exactly what this servant implied— “I know your intent is to leave me unprotected and vulnerable.” A person who is lazy in the natural realm is always critical, saying, “I haven’t had a decent chance,” and someone who is lazy in the spiritual realm is critical of God. Lazy people always strike out at others in an independent way.

Never forget that our capacity and capability in spiritual matters is measured by, and based on, the promises of God. Is God able to fulfill His promises? Our answer depends on whether or not we have received the Holy Spirit.

T

heir heart swells with happiness after struggle, strife and sweat flash victory. It is a proud feeling to stand on the podium to receive a medal for the country. The mission has finally been accomplished after the fall of first bit of national anthem followed by receiving a thundering ovation from the crowd. And Indian sports brought stupendous success at XXI Commonwealth Games 2018 that has brought cheers to 1.25 billion people. With 66 medals (26 Gold 20 Silver 20 Bronze) our nation reached the third position behind Australia and England in the medal table.

The success story has begun with Shooting (7 4 5), Wrestling (5 3 4), Weightlifting (5 2 2), Boxing (3 3 3), Table Tennis (3 2 3), Badminton (2 3 1), Athletics (1 1 1), Squash (0 2 0) and Para Power Lifting (0 0 1).

At CWG Glasgow 2014 Scotland, our rank was 5th with a total of 64 medals (15 30 19). Surprisingly at CWG New Delhi 2010, we reached the second position with 101 medals (38 27 36).

After the Olympic, the CWG is the second most important multisport event in the world. A total of 71 teams from 50 countries belonging to the Commonwealth of Nations are eligible for participation in this event. It was originally called the British Empire and Commonwealth Games (1950-1962) and British Commonwealth games (1966-1974).

However it had finally been changed to Commonwealth Games to connect to the decolonization and dissolution of the British Empire. After disintegration of British Empire, CWG is being initiated to maintain influence in its former colonies. It’s like pingpong democracy between US and China in 1970s to renew diplomatic relations.

There are significance factors reflected at Gold Coast, Australia.

Indian daughters have shown brave attempt in respective games with 35 medals. Being a mother of three children, the journey of MC Mary Kom

is remarkable with a Gold again. In India, cricket is the most watched sport but the rise Badminton and Boxing have delighted the countrymen that there is much more beyond Cricket. The stupendous success of shuttlers from Saina Nehwal(G) to PV Sindhu (S) and K Srikanth (S) on the global stage has brought world attention. But those success stories have not just come easily. The inspiring story of India’s rise in badminton world can be credited to Pulella Gopichand who has changed the face of the sport in our country. For him rising the tricolour at the podium is a big thing. There cannot be a bigger motivation than that.

Can India dream big for Olympics in the future? And with the world class infrastructure at home, India plan to send a satisfactory contingent for a medal hopes at Tokyo 2020. Khelo India is a part of the revamped National Programme for development of sports that aims to strengthen the network by promoting mass participation and promotion of excellence in sports. This watershed movement in the history of Indian sports will act as an avenue for identification of budding sports talent to promote gender equity and social inclusiveness. Khelo India has already been shined. And two talented girls from Khelo India participated with a Gold by Manu Bhanker in 10m Air Pistol event. Despite hardship and being disciplined soldier, Indian armed forces have made us proud with 10 medals.

First time India has made steady progress in Table Tennis with a result.

This tremendous potential needs to be projected at a global platform.

It’s time we inspire young talent to realise India becoming a sports super power in the upcoming years.

Should India follow Chinese success as sporting superpower? The huge foundation during 2008 Beijing Olympics and peoples’ participation made it possible to create a massive billion dollar sports industry there.

Life is so complicated these days! Many things which cost money can no longer be bought using money.

The world’s biggest shopkeeper, Alibaba, doesn’t have any shops.

The world’s biggest taxi company, Uber, doesn’t own any taxis.

“None of the shows I watch these days are made by moviemakers. They’re all made by delivery firms,” said a reader.

True. Netflix was set up to deliver videos and Amazon to deliver books. Now both make TV shows.

What next? A hotel chain with no hotels? Oh, wait, a friend of mine just stayed in an Airbnb room.

A young Indian reader offered her favourite modern Asian absurdity: “Today, parents tell us not to talk to strangers but still try to get us to marry one.”

Sometimes, the names and functions of organisations are mismatched deliberately.

I read recently that an organisation called “Citizens for a More Affordable Cook County” was set up in the US. It sounded reasonable but was oddly focused on fighting the sugary drinks tax. Reporters looking at the donations list discovered that the “citizens” who financed it were Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper and Red Bull.

Real life is so out of control that it’s no surprise people flee to the Internet -- but things are even more confusing there.

I was moaning about the confusions of modern life when an “older gentleman” in our social group said that this was nothing new: Companies have always changed their core businesses.

“Most young people today probably have no idea that Shell, the multinational oil company, is called that because it started as a shop selling seashells,” he said.

“Sharp, the Japanese electronics firm, made pencils.

Nintendo, the king of video games, made playing cards.”

(This guy can probably remember when stone was the big thing and everyone poured scorn on the cheeky upstarts trying to usher in the Bronze Age.) But I must admit I was amazed to learn from him that Nokia was set up to make rubber boots but accidentally became the global king of mobile phones.

Clues to a company’s original purpose were often hidden in the name, he explained. American Express was a delivery service, carrying stock certificates or currency by horse or train across America at “express” speed. Then someone at the company decided to give the horse a rest and just lend people the cash -- which is how American Express became a financial firm.

This led me to wonder if my historian friend had the answer to a mystery. Where I live, there are five branches of a supermarket chain called Park’n’shop and not one of them has anywhere you can park.

“If Park’n’shops were places where you could park and shop, that would make logical sense,” he said. “On his planet, that’s always too much to ask for.”

it can deliver sporting ambitions by investing in the line with the goal.

Shooting, Wrestling, Weightlifting and Boxing are India’s strength at global event. Haryana government has encouraged big cash for medal winners at CWG. India has a poor record in Athletics and Swimming.

When 19 years Hima Das from Assam compete with all African sprinters at 400m final that proved athletics is anybody’s game. This will certainly beneficial for those athletics to compete with global events. Also it will focus on nurturing sports talent in the country and connecting rural India to global games. Swimming has lot many medals but India failed to enter any water games.

The heart and soul of Indian football is in the North East. With no big sponsors for NE players, the government has to create infrastructure as well as national centre for excellence with elite facilities for this hilly region. We have to raise the aspiration levels of our kids to aim for Man United or Bayern Munich. When little known Jalandhar turns hub for sports good industries across India, can North East aspires for Sports Capital Region of India?

In the past, artistic gymnast Dipa Karmakar made history at the Rio Olympic. Olympic bronze medallist Vijender Singh turned professional with stunning success. PT Usha was one of the most iconic athletes of track and field. They have won from individual championships to world championships. India’s economic growth is in the true direction. The potential corporate sponsors will certainly watch with the government’s promises. The rise of GDP and population can turn Indian sport into a multimillion dollar business in the future. With right direction from Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, this will certainly harness the immense power of youth for holistic development of the individual, the community and the nation as well.

r ucellosis is a bacterial disease caused by genus of Brucella which leads to abortion in last trimester (6-8 months) of pregnancy in farm animals.

There is inflammation of testicle in male animals (Orchtis) and causes fever and joint pains in human beings if infected. Chances of infection to those persons dealing with animals are more like veterinary doctors, veterinary field assistants, dairy farmers and persons working in slaughter houses.

Casual organism: Species infecting domestic livestock are B. melitensis (goats and sheep), B. suis (pigs), B. abortus (cattle and bison), B. ovis (sheep) and B. canis (dogs). Brucella species have also been isolated from several marine mammal species (pinnipeds and cetaceans).

Mode of spread of disease: In animals: It is found in the placental remains, aborted foetus and vaginal discharges of infected animals or sometimes coming in contact with infected materials,contaminated feed ,water and equipments of Artificial insemination In Humans: It spreads by direct contact with infected animals, by consumption of unprocessed milk and its products, droplets from infected materials coming in contact with open wound and eyes and sometimes through inhalation of infected materials in air.

Symptoms In Animals: It causes abortion of foetus, retention of placenta, infertility, dead or premature calves, inflammation of testicle in male animals, decrease fertility and inflammation of joints.

In Humans: It causes fever, excessive sweating during night and shivering, head-

aches, back pains, anorexia and physical weakness. Severe infections of the central nervous systems or lining of the heart may occur. Brucellosis can also cause longlasting or chronic symptoms that include recurrent fevers, joint pain, and fatigue.

Prevention: In animals: The most and important thing is to segregate the infected animals from healthy animals, proper disposal of aborted foetus and placenta (which can buried in deep pit and should be covered with lime).

The infected materials should not be thrown in open field to prevent eating of carcass by other animals such as dog.

Screening of farm animals should be done for Brucella spp. from time to time and positive animals should be culled. Matting should be done with bulls free from brucellosis. Vaccination schedule for Brucellosis should be followed to minimize infection.

In Human Beings: Persons working with infected animals should take full precautions such as use of arm sleeves, gloves and gum boots.

Special cares should be taken by doctors while examining the animals and while treating aborted animals. All animal products should be consumed after proper cooking and milk should be boiled properly.

Affected persons must get treated from expert medical doctors or else it may be transmitted from human to human.

Farmers should be made aware of this disease and from time to time awareness camp should be conducted to prevent further multiplication of this disease.

The future lies in preparing for jobs that don’t exist today

t’s April and a time to celebrate for millions of young Indians who have just finished their school-leaving class XII examinations. The days that follow help them unwind after months of exam preparation. The celebrations, however, are short-lived. The next many weeks and months are consumed preparing for admission tests for entry into a wide variety of disciplines.

It’s a tough time as they evaluate options that further their individual interests and make deliberate decisions that will determine what lies ahead of them -- perhaps for the rest of their lives.

For young Indians, making it to any of the country’s 40,000 colleges -- or getting a subject of their choice -- is not easy. It is a pity that even though the number of colleges in the country has tripled in the last 17 years, the shortage of seats drives students to choose programmes that do not necessarily fit their aptitude.

The marks they get in their schoolleaving examination, conducted by the Central or the State Exam Boards or the International Baccalaureate, will determine their choice of subjects.

Just like the students, it is a busy time as well for career counsellors invited by schools and colleges to advise on great careers in demand, worthy institutions to study in, and the best ways to get into a specific programme. Many help students choose between great destinations to study abroad. Should it be Singapore, nearer home, or one of the Ivy League institutions in the US? Or the UK or Australia? Should it be a full-fee programme in a university -- say, in safe and student-friendly Sydney -- or a fully-paid scholarship in an unheard of university in an East European nation?

When I get pulled into advising young nephews and nieces based on the experience of helping our own young ones make their choices, I refer them to career option books by widely travelled counsellors to help them choose between engineering and biotechnology, architecture and law, medicine and pharma, liberal arts, social sciences or business management, journalism and computer

science. And the list goes on.

For tough situations like convincing friends to let their loved ones choose streams beyond medicine or engineering, I encourage them to go to a professional career counsellor and careers columnists like Pervin Malhotra, who guided our son and daughter many years ago.

These counsellors put the children through an aptitude test, discuss their strengths and suggest a set of options over a series of sessions.

An opportunity to sit through a fireside chat between Indian school students and Blair Slater, a career counsellor at the Sydney-based University of New South Wales (UNSW) recently, was an eye-opener. Blair, a former Hollywood star and now a full-time career counsellor for international students of over 100 nationalities, had an interesting take on careers.

He predicted that in the next 5 to 10 years, there will be plenty of jobs that don’t even exist today.

In an ever-evolving job market, his advice to students was to prepare for a career by following their passion, pursuing what’s important to them while building a strong academic foundation. Problem-solving and adaptability, Blair said, should be the key leitmotifs in their toolkit of skills that will help them shine in a world of fast-changing jobs.

Universities are using innovative social media like Facebook’s live discussions with experts to

reach wider audiences. A “Study in America” Facebook session by the US embassy in New Delhi last month helped demolish myths associated with admissions and job opportunities in America.

When looking for opportunities to study abroad, students will do well to consider the QS ranking that ranks higher educational institutes globally. The reputed British agency compares top universities in the world based on six performance parameters across sectors like Research, Teaching, Employability and Internationalisation, and the institute’s stature.

The best advice on making career choices comes from successful professionals in the field of the student’s interest. Insights from alumni shed light on the best practices followed by institutions, especially addressing their quest for knowledge, placement track record and reputation with employers.

Institutions that will flourish in the future will adapt their curriculum to the needs of the fast-changing world with speed, lay emphasis on original research to solve burning issues facing the world, and focus on life-long employability of their alumni.

Reader’s Post Mass social work

Sir,

The recent proposal to hold a Mass Social Work on April 21 by the State Cabinet should be lauded. We have taken cleanliness for granted for too long. These things contribute towards community attachments and also towards building relationships within it. It would be a great thing if everybody participates and actively puts in efforts to clean and beautify their own villages/colonies/towns. Good things are expected from this initiative and hopefully we will come together as a community and create a cleaner, happier and better living space.

current profession and the duties he was supposed to discharge.

“Out of 226 witnesses (in the case) more than 66 witnesses turned hostile in the court. They said they were never examined by police and never stated anything before police.

“So a witness, who has given evidence in favour the prosecution at the time of filing of the charge sheet, comes to the court and says that he has never given the statement... what can a prosecutor do and what can prosecution do?”

Harinath told PTI. He also said Aseemanand, who had made

country’s premier agency that probes terror-related cases, to take a decision on the issue.

“Once the order copy comes, we will submit it to the NIA headquarters.

Then they also will take opinion from legal experts.

Depending on that the NIA will take a call on whether to file an appeal or not,” Harinath said.

AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi has sought a re-trial in the case or filing an appeal against the verdict.

The case was initially probed by local police before being transferred to the CBI, and finally in 2011 to the NIA. Ten people with alleged links to Hindu rightwing organisations were accused in the case. However, only five of them who were acquitted faced trial.

Two other accused -- Sandeep V Dange and Ramchandra Kalsangra -- are absconding, while Sunil Joshi was murdered.

Investigation is continuing against two other accused.

Saubhagya scheme launched in Nagaland (From p-1) Vizo said every State was supposed to complete electrification of all households by March 31, 2019 under the scheme, adding that its implementation will indeed be a huge challenge for the State power department.

He said out of 2,81,811 rural households in the State, 1,93,502 households were already electrified. And out of the remaining 88,309 rural households, he said since 21,543 rural households were already covered by Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana, only 66,766 rural households are proposed

to be covered under the Saubhagya scheme.

Similarly, as out of 1,43,077 urban households in the State, 1,18,511 households were already electrified, only 24,566 urban households are proposed to be covered under the scheme, he added.

The power commissioner remarked that Government of India is carrying out Gram Swaraj Abhijan from April 14 to May 5 and the Saubhagya scheme is part of this programme.

Mentioning that the power department shall cover 738

villages, Vizo said poor people in rural areas will be greatly benefited.

He, however, stated that electricity connection will be provided only after due verification of documents like voter ID card, passport, driving license, ration card, Aadhaar card, etc, for proof of identity. He added that facilities under the scheme will include providing singlepoint wiring with provision for LED bulb, mobile charging point and switch.

Several power department officials attended the launch programme.

The court, however, upheld the life imprisonment of Bajrang Dal leader Babu Bajrangi but commuted his sentence to 21 years in jail. It also upheld the conviction of 11 others by a special court. Dr. Kodnani’s personal assistant, Kirpal

A Division Bench of the High Court, comprising Justices Harsha Devani and A.S Supehiya, reserved the order last August after the conclusion of the hearing. In August 2012, the special court sentenced 32 people, including Dr. Kodnani and Bajrangi. Dr. Kodnani was sentenced to 28 years in jail. The court acquitted 29 others for want of evidence.

a confessional statement under CrPC section 164 (to a magistrate), retracted it later in a Delhi court.

Under the section, any confession or statement can be made before a magistrate in the course of an investigation. A massive blast had ripped through the over four centuries-old Mecca Masjid on May 18, 2007, during the Friday prayers, killing nine people and wounding 58.

Harinath also claimed the authorities of the mosque washed the premises a day after the blast which might have led to destruction of some crucial forensic evidence.

Harinath said he was associated with the ABVP when he was studying law in 1990.

“That is only a students” organisation, and once the student life is over and we get in to active practice, we don”t really bother about student politics,” he said. When asked whether an appeal would be filed against the verdict in a higher court, he said, it was up to the NIA, the

HYDERABAD, Apr 20 (AGENCIES): The NIA prosecutor “in the Mecca Masjid blast case” said today witnesses turning hostile and retraction of confessional statement by Hindu preacher Swami Aseemanand may have led to the acquittal of the five accused.

His comments come in the wake of an antiterror court acquitting the accused belonging to rightwing organisations in the 2007 blast case. The court, while setting them free, held that the prosecution had failed to prove “even a single allegation” against them.

The prosecutor, N Harinath, said he was yet to receive a copy of the order from the court and a clear picture would emerge only after he gets it.

Harinath, who came attack from opposition parties following the judgement over his past association with the ABVP, the RSS’ student outfit, said his former links to the Hindu right organisation had got nothing to do with his

Mumbai, Apr 20 (PTI): The rupee Friday crashed below the key 66 level to settle at a 13-month low of 66.12 against the US currency, hit by a resurgent dollar, firming crude prices and a more hawkish tone of the Reserve Bank.

Extending its slide for a fifth day, the domestic currency took a hit of 32 paise to close at more than one-year low as the RBI’s surprised hawkish tone kept overall sentiment bearish.

This is the lowest closing level of the rupee since March 10, 2017, when it had settled at 66.60 against the US dollar.

“Indian rupee fell for a fifth session as RBI minutes revealed that RBI’s tone is more hawkish than what markets had previously gauged.

Mumbai, Apr 20 (PTI): Gold recovered marginally at the bullion market here Friday on mild demand from stockists and retailers even as the metal weakened overseas. Silver, however, held steady at Rs 40,160 per kg on scattered buying by consuming industries.

Standard gold (99.5 purity) rose by Rs 60 to close at Rs 31,315 per 10 grams from Thursday’s finish of Rs 31,255. Pure gold (99.9 purity) also gained by the same amount to settle at Rs 31,465 per 10 grams as compared to Rs 31,405 earlier. However, silver (.999 fineness) closed unchanged from yesterday’s level of Rs 40,160 per kg. Spot gold was down 0.3 per cent at USD 1,341.33 an ounce at early trade. Among other precious metals, spot silver was down 0.1 per cent at USD 17.19.

financial needs of developing nations.

According to the Ministry, the other issues discussed during the meeting related to enhancing the project pipelines of the BRICS New Development Bank (NDB) evenly across member countries and expansion of the NDB’s membership.

It also discussed the South African Presidency’s proposal for setting up a working group on illicit financial flows and a BRICS Task Force on public-private partnership.

Issues related to the BRICS Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA) as well as the BRICS Bond Fund were also discussed, the statement said.

Garg emphasised in his interventions that India had been a constructive participant in the discussions on NDB’s membership expansion, it said.

“He expressed that a more careful and cautious approach on the value and additional benefits new members will bring to the Bank would be desirable rather than setting deadlines which are practically difficult to achieve,” it added.

Gold recovers, silver rules stable

2011. The fund on Tuesday forecast expansion of 3.9 per cent in 2018 and 2019, while saying in subsequent years the global economy could be impacted by tighter monetary policy and the fading effects of US fiscal stimulus.

Surging private-sector debt, particularly in China, is driving the build-up.

China has accounted for almost three-quarters of the increase in private debt since the global financial crisis, according to the fund.

The IMF figures lay bare the scale of the debt hangover from which the world is still recovering a decade after the financial crisis pushed the global banking system to the brink and tipped the world economy into recession. Gov-

ernments increased spending to boost growth, while central banks resorted to unconventional methods to ease financing conditions, such as buying bonds.

High levels of sovereign debt could make it difficult for governments to refinance when their debt reaches maturity, especially if financing conditions tighten, the IMF said.

Large debts also impede the ability of nations to increase spending if their economies fall into recession, and may cause a drag on growth, according to the fund.

The IMF said countries should take decisive action to rebuild their fiscal buffers so they can increase spending during hard times.

The fund urged the US, whose budget deficit is expected to surpass $1 trillion by 2020, to “recalibrate” its fiscal policy so government debt-to-GDP levels decline over the medium term.

The combination of last year’s tax cuts and increased government spending in a recent US budget deal will benefit all income groups, the IMF said.

New Delhi, Apr 20 (IANS): India has urged the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) countries to set up an independent rating agency of the group, according to an Indian official. The renewed call for setting up a BRICS Rating Agency was given by Economic Affairs Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg at the first meeting of the BRICS Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors in Washington on Thursday on the sidelines of the IMF and World Bank Spring Meetings, a Finance Ministry statement said.

“He (Garg) requested the Presidency to receive and take forward the report to be submitted by the expert group set up under the aegis of the BRICS Business Council to study the feasibility of the BRICS Rating Agency,” the statement said.

At the BRICS Summit in Xiamen in China held in September last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had strongly pitched for the setting up of a rating agency to counter the western “big three” institutions -- S&P, Moody’s and Fitch -- and cater to the

NEW DELHI, Apr 20 (Agencies): The world’s debt load has ballooned to a record $164 trillion, a trend that could make it harder for countries to respond to the next recession and pay off debts if financing conditions tighten, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said.

Global public and private debt swelled to 225 per cent of global gross domestic product in 2016, the last year for which the IMF provided figures, the fund said in its semi-annual Fiscal Monitor report. The previous peak was in 2009, according to the Washington-based fund.

“One hundred and sixty-four trillion is a huge number,” Vitor Gaspar, head of the IMF’s fiscal affairs department, said in an interview. “When we talk about the risks looming on the horizon, one of the risks has to do with the high level of public and private debt.”

The global debt burden clouded the IMF’s otherwise upbeat outlook of the world economy, which is in its strongest upswing since

North, S. Korea set up hotline ahead of summit

Myanmar policeman testifies arrested reporters were set up

Pakistan’s antigraft body to probe Musharraf

L o n d o n, A p r 2 0 (Agencies): North and South Korea have set up their first ever hotline, allowing Seoul’s President Moon and Pyongyang leader Kim Jong-un to talk directly.

The two men are due to meet later this month for the first inter-Korean summit in over a decade.

A test call between both countries has been held successfully, BBC reported.

“It was as if we were talking to a neighbour right next door,” a South Korean official told local media after the call lasting 4 minutes 17 seconds.

The hotline was established between the South’s presidential Blue House and the North’s state affairs commission, which is headed by Mr Kim. Blue House officials had earlier said Mr Moon and Mr Kim were likely to hold a telephone conversation before their face-toface meeting.

Y A NGON , A p r 2 0 (Agencies): The prosecution of two Myanmar journalists accused of violating a state secrets law by acquiring official documents given to them by police suffered a major setback Friday when a police officer testified that he and his colleagues were ordered to entrap the reporters.

Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo of the Reuters news agency have been detained since December 12 on charges that could get them up to 14 years in prison.

The two had helped cover the crisis in Rakhine state, where a brutal counterinsurgency operation drove about 700,000 Rohingya Mulims to neighboring Bangladesh, Washington Post reported.

Police Capt. Moe Yan Naing told the court that a senior officer had arranged for two policemen to meet the reporters and hand over documents, previously described as “important secret papers.” He said the officer, Brig. Gen. Tin Ko Ko —his superior in the 8th Security Police Battalion — had overseen interrogations of him and colleagues who had given interviews to Wa Lone about their activities in Rakhine. Security forces in Rakhine have been accused of serious human rights violations, including extrajudicial killings, against the persecuted ethnic Rohingya Muslims. Last week, Myanmar’s military announced it had sentenced seven soldiers to 10 years in prison for their part in killings, a case covered by the two reporters.

Islamabad, Apr 20 (IANS): Pakistan’s anticorruption body, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), on Friday approved an investigation into allegations against former President Pervez Musharraf for “holding assets beyond means” and “wrongful use of authority”.

The former military ruler, who is currently living in exile in Dubai, also faces high treason charges in Pakistan. He was declared an absconder by an antiterrorism court in the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and had postponed his return to the country in March over security concerns, Geo News reported. On February 9, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) had redefined NAB’s powers allowing the bureau to investigate ex-military men, especially retired generals, and directed it to investigate Musharraf for his alleged corruption while in office.

Lt. Col. Inamur Rahim (retired) in 2014 approached the IHC seeking a probe into the alleged corruption by Musharraf. In his complaint, the petitioner had asked NAB to hold an inquiry into the allegation that Musharraf in his nomination papers had declared assets which were beyond his known sources of income, according to a report in Dawn daily.

Plane skids off runway; close shave for 139 on board

KATHMANDU, Apr 20 (PTI): All 139 people on board a Malaysian passenger plane had a miraculous escape when the Kuala Lumpur-bound flight skidded off the runway and got stuck in mud while attempting to take off from Nepal’s only international airport here, officials said. Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) was forced to halt all international flights after the

incident involving Malindo Air jet late last night, The Kathmandu Post reported.

TIA today resumed international flight operations after a suspension of over 12 hours, the report said.

At least a dozen of international flights were cancelled after the incident.

There were 139 people, including four crew members, on board the aircraft, Boeing 737-900, registration

9M-LNJ. No casualty has been reported, the report said. “The flight captain aborted take off at the final moment after he saw an error at the monitor inside the cockpit,” TIA general manager Raj Kumar Chettri said quoting the captain.

The aircraft apparently could not stop because of the take off speed and load at the final moment and overran 50 metre south

from the runway threshold and rested in a grassland at around 22:08 PM (local time), Chettri said.

The runway was closed following the incident. However, the aircraft has not suffered any damage but the front tyre has been stuck in the mud.

Chhetri said the aircraft was towed away from the grassland to the runway and kept at the parking area.

Syria returns France’s Legion of Honour for Assad Lo n d o n, A p r 2 0 (Agencies): Syria has returned to France the prestigious Légion d’honneur presented to President Bashar al-Assad, saying he would not wear the award of a country that was a “slave” to America.

The move comes days after France said a “disciplinary procedure” for withdrawing the award was under way.

France recently joined the US and Britain in bombing Syrian targets over an alleged chemical weapons attack.

The award was returned to France via the Romanian embassy in Damascus.

President Assad was decorated with the highest class of the award, the grand-croix, in 2001 after he took power following the death of his father.

“The ministry of foreign affairs... has returned to the French republic... the decoration of the grand-croix of the Légion d’honneur awarded to President Assad,” the Syrian foreign ministry said in a statement.

“It is no honour for President Assad to wear a decoration attributed by a slave country and follower of the United States that supports terrorists,” it added.

About 3,000 people every year are awarded the Légion d’honneur for “services rendered to France” or for defending human rights, press freedom or similar causes.

T h e U S, U K a n d France bombed several Syrian government sites on Saturday in retaliation for an alleged chemical weapons attack on Douma, the last rebel-held town in the Eastern Ghouta region outside Damascus.

More than 40 people were killed in the 7 April attack, according to opposition activists, rescue workers and medics.

The Syrian government denies using chemical weapons and says the attack was fabricated. Bashar alAssad was awarded France’s highest honour after he had taken over from his late father, at a time when it was hoped he would bring political change in Syria.

tain, Tin Ko Ko ordered one officer who had previously spoken to Wa Lone to make a call and arrange the December 12 meeting, and threatened other police he sent to the meeting that if they did not carry out the arrests, they would be sent to jail themselves.

“The reason why I testified the truth was because police should have their own standard and dignity,” Moe Yan Naing told reporters outside the courtroom after testifying as a prosecution witness. “Whatever I testified was the truth.” He was able to speak to the media only briefly before being led away by a plainclothes security official. The case has drawn international attention, with high-profile rights

lawyer Amal Clooney recently joining the legal team representing the jailed journalists. The United States, Britain and Canada, as well as the United Nations, have called for the reporters to be freed.

“We cannot say exactly if the two journalists will be released or not, but police officer Moe Yan Naing has revealed the real case,” said defense lawyer Khin Maung Zaw. Prosecution witnesses who have appeared before the court so far had offered confusing and conflicting testimony, lending weight to the belief that the arrests were a clumsy setup by the government, which is sensitive to any reporting that is critical of its activities in Rakhine.

Beijing, Apr 20 (IANS): China on Friday defended Pakistan against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remark that Islamabad was a “terror export factory”, saying the country must be supported in the fight against “terrorism”.

Beijing also hinted the issue of terrorism will be on the agenda of discussion at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) when the eight-member block, joined by India and Pakistan last year, holds its annual meeting at Chinese city Qingdao in June.

At an event in London on Thursday, Modi said India will not tolerate those who export terror.

Mugabe summoned over alleged diamond looting H A R A RE , A p r 2 0 (Agencies): A Zimbabwean parliamentary committee is summoning former leader Robert Mugabe to explain past comments on alleged diamond looting — the first time a public institution has called him to account for such claims made during his 37-year rule.

Mugabe, who resigned in November following a military intervention and extraordinary public demonstrations, has said $15 billion worth of diamonds were looted from fields in the country’s east, reported The New Indian Expresss.

He later said he had no basis for that figure and spoke off the top of his head.

But parliamentar y committee chairman Temba K Y M C

Mliswa told The Associated Press the 94-year-old still should appear on May 9 to explain his comments.

Parliament “very soon” will dispatch an official letter for Mugabe to appear, Mliswa said. It was not clear whether Mugabe, who has lived quietly in the capital since his resignation, will agree to show up.

The allegations of diamond looting have been a source of anger in the once-prosperous southern African countr y whose economy collapsed under Mugabe’s long rule. Nongovernmental organizations such as Global Witness have accused government and security agencies of both looting and human rights abuses.

Backstreet Boys thank ‘BSB Army’ on 25th anniversary

A

merican pop vocal group Backstreet Boys on Friday thanked their fans - the ‘BSB Army’ for keeping the “backstreet pride” alive for 25 long years.

Back in 1993, five singers -- AJ McLean, Howie D., Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell -- got together to form one of the biggest bands in the world - the Backstreet Boys.

“On April 20th, 1993

we became the Backstreet Boys. If you would have told us that 25 years later we would still be making music together, we would have never believed you.

Thank you #BSBArmy.

Who is ready for another 25 years? #KTBSPA #BSB25,” read a post on their official Twitter handle.

Three years later, the Grammy nominated group launched their self-titled international debut album,

which consisted of hits like “Anywhere for you”, “Quit playin’ games (with my heart)” and “We’ve got it goin’ on”. “Quit playin’ games (with my heart)” even reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The quintet went on to release successful albums “Backstreet’s Back”, “Millennium” and “Black & Blue”. After 2000, they took a break. Their next album “Never Gone” re-

leased in 2005. A year later, Richardson -- the oldest member of the group, briefly left the band.

As a quartet, the band unveiled “Unbreakable” (2007) and “This Is Us” (2009) -- which couldn’t manage to last long on music charts.

Richardson joined back in 2012. Since then they have launched their album “In a World Like This” (2013) and released their first documentary movie, titled “Backstreet Boys: Show ‘Em What You’re Made Of ” (2015).

The best-selling boy band of all time, with over 130 million albums sold worldwide, even received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2013.

They are currently here to take their Dubai fans on a nostalgic trip through their performance.

Backstreet Boys have also wrapped filming the music video for an yetunknown single.

Aamir Khan envisions Maha to be drought-free in 5 years

B

ollywood star Aamir Khan, who leads NGO Paani Foundation, hopes Maharashtra is drought-free and doesn’t need such a platform after the next five years.

Set up in 2016 by the team of the TV series “Satyamev Jayate” -- which was led by Aamir -- the NGO aims to fight drought in rural Maharashtra by harnessing the power of communication to mobilise, motivate and train people in this mission.

Aamir on Friday visited the Symbiosis institute here to pin up call-to-action posters for students’ participation in ‘Shramdaan’ (labour donation) across villages fighting against water scarcity and drought

situations.

The actor-producer was present with Pune Collector Naval Kishore, actordirector Girish Kulkarni and Satyajit Bhatkal, CEO of Paani Foundation, a statement said.

“In five years from today, Maharashtra shouldn’t be needing Paani Foundation. The more number of people join the cause, the bigger the movement will become. I believe it’s the dream of us all that one day Maharashtra is drought-free and if we all dream of it, we all would have to do something about it to make it happen,” Aamir said.

He also stuck posters in the college, and urged students and urban citizens to become ‘Jalmitras’, apart

from taking to his Twitter account and tagging other celebrities like Sachin Tendulkar, Amitabh Bachchan, Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, Rajkummar Rao, Swara Bhasker, Richa Chadha and Abhishek Bachchan to seek their participation.

“The idea is that the information should reach a larger number of people,” he said.

On Maharashtra Day, which falls on May 1, the Paani Foundation will host a ‘Mahashramdaan’, where citizens, both urban and rural, will meet and work together for water abundance.

“Right now, we are still concentrating on the drought areas of rural Maharashtra. Once we feel that we have handled that, then we can move to cities,” said Aamir, who feels encouraged to see how people in villages have few resources but have such high hopes in their hearts.

“You realise that there is so much courage and beauty in the people of rural Maharashtra. It has been a very enriching experience.”

Manhandling instruments: Uriah Heep: New album to be released in September Ayaan unhappy with airlines U is a fragile item and needs special handling.

“As I boarded, I just happened to see my sarod being taken in a regular manner on top of suitcases, that too upside down. It’s sad. I hope and pray that we have rules towards special handling for musical instruments that are so precious and are a part of our cultural legacy. It’s very sad to see it kept as baggage.”

He said mostly all airlines are compassionate towards special requests, but he hopes he never has to see an instrument kept in the manner he saw

his own being kept.

Ayaan had posted on social media a photograph of the way the instrument had been kept. However, he deleted it later.

“I deleted it as they (airline) sent an apology. I just request for more sensitivity towards musical instruments. All instruments -- be it old or new -- are an extension of an artiste, so I hope that we being Indians value our tradition,” he added.After his tweet, the official Twitter page of Jet Airways wrote: “Ayaan, we are very concerned to note this. Be assured that we are currently reviewing it with our ground services team and will get back to you on priority.”

On the 16-minute title track of the group’s 1971 sophomore album, “Salisbury”: Mick: “It’s a very long song. It’s very adventurous, very progressive, but I think that depicts the time that we wrote that song. It was all very free. There were

no rules; we were making new rules, so we didn’t stay within the three-minute format. It was all part of that rebellion. To us, it was just a song that we allowed to dictate where we went with it, rather than stop it and say, ‘Now we need a middle-eight. Now we need a chorus.’ We just let it breathe, and by doing that, it became very good.”

ritish star Benedict Cumberbatch says Indian batting icon Sachin Tendulkar will fit the role as superhero Doctor Strange quite well.

The actor, who is seen as the superhero, spoke about it when he met former Australian cricket sensation Brett Lee during the “Avengers: Infinity War” press tour in Singapore. It will be aired on the Star Sports Network as part of Kent Cricket Live, read a statement to IANS. Mar vel Studios’ “Avengers: Infinity War” is set to release in India on April 27.

When quizzed on cricket, Cumberbatch said: “Graham Gooch was my hero when growing up. I loved playing cricket and because I was a wicket keeper, I had my eye on Jack Russell.”

Lee asked Cumberbatch for his views on who would best fit the role of Doctor Strange.

He said: “Sachin Tendulkar would do quite well in fitting the role as Doctor Strange as he is quite extraordinary.”

The interview will be aired on April 22.

It’s good that things are so immediate now, but it’s also a disposable age where you can do everything with one button in your home, and it arrives the nxt morning, so there’s no anticipation, no romanticism involved with the music. It’s very disposable. That’s the bad side of it. The good side is the immediacy, with Facebook and web sites and Instagram and things, everything happens very quickly.

Wenger to leave Arsenal at season-end match.

That success perhaps dogged the north London side, however.

Aside from securing the FA Cup title the following year, Arsenal’s track record entered a period of drought until the 2013/14 season, when they narrowly beat Hull City 3-2 in the FA Cup final.

Although Wenger’s side, now featuring the likes of Mesut Ozil, went on to win the FA Cup for three consecutive years, the team’s failure to challenge for the league title and its

apparent inability to make it past the Champions League pre-quarterfinals stirred disgruntle fans.

Calls for the head coach to step aside grew over recent seasons. But his parting comes as a major change for Arsenal’s image.

Majority owner Stan Kroenke said: “This is one of the most difficult days we have ever had in all our years in sport.”

The club said it would find a replacement for Wenger as soon as possible.

NEW DELHI, Apr 20 (Agencies): Pitching to make India a global sports powerhouse, Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president Narinder Batra expressed interest to host the Youth Olympic Games in 2026, Asian Games in 2030 and Summer Olympics in 2032. However, both IOC and sports ministry remained non-committal to Batra’s ambitious plans.

Though IOC president Thomas Bach agreed that the country has the potential to host big-ticket multi-sport events, he said that the time hasn’t come to discuss these matters with India since “no procedures are presently open” for bidding.

Batra said, “We will be bidding on our part. It’s up to the competent authorities to decide on it.” According to some IOA members who attended the breakfast meeting between Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore and Bach, Batra had raised this issue of India placing its bid for hosting multi-sport events.

However, Rathore didn’t sound too enthusiastic about it, except for looking into IOA’s Asiad bid, if it’s made at all in the future.

On the issue of Birmingham organisers dropping shooting from its CWG programme in 2022, Bach said while they have no role to play in reversing the decision, the IOC has “no intention to drop shooting from the Olympic programme.”

Watson stars as CSK beat RR by 64 runs Pune, Apr 20 (Agencies): A dominant Chennai Super Kings beat Rajasthan Royals by 64 runs in their Indian Premier League encounter here on Friday.

With this win, CSK now have six points in the IPL standings, with three wins.

Ben Stokes’ 45 runs of 37 balls was the standout performance for the visitors as they struggled to build a partnership and keep the momentum going.

Heinrich Klaasen (7) had a debut to forget, while Ajinkya Rahane managed just 16 runs.

The CSK bowlers did their task right, with as many as four bowlers taking two wickets each. While Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Karn Sharma and Dwayne Bravo picked up two wickets each, Imran Tahir and Shane Watson got one wicket each.

Earlier, a fantastic 106run knock by opener Shane Watson propelled Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to 204/5. The Australian allrounder took just 51 deliveries to bring up his third IPL century.

Put in to bat, Chennai were off to a decent start as openers Watson and Ambati Rayudu (12) shared a 50-run partnership for the opening wicket in 4.2 overs.

Medium pacer Ben Laughlin drew the first blood for Rajasthan as he sent back Rayudu in the fifth over.

Watson was then joined

stitched together a 81-run partnership for the second wicket. Raina chipped in with a crucial 47-run knock before falling in the 12th over to a Shreyas Gopal delivery which left CSK on 131/2.

CSK then lost the wickets of Mahendra Singh Dhoni (5) and Sam Billings (3) with the addition of another 30 runs. It was leggie Shreyas again, who struck to dismiss both the Chennai batters.

Meanwhile, Watson kept the scoreboard ticking and added 41 runs with Dwayne Bravo to take CSK

past the 200-run mark. Bravo remained unbeaten on 24 runs facing 16 balls.

The Australian allrounder however, fell in the last over but it was too late for Rajasthan as CSK posted a massive 205-run target against them.

For Rajasthan, Shreyas was the pick of the bowlers, with figures of 3/20, while Australian Laughlin bagged a couple of wickets conceding 38 runs.

CSK will next face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Sunday, whereas Rajasthan Royals host Mumbai Indians later on the same day.

Bengaluru FC lift Super Cup title

Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik presents the Super Cup trophy to Bengaluru FC in Bhubaneswar on April 20.

Bhubaneswar, Apr 20 (IANS): Skipper Sunil Chhetri led from the front with a brace as Bengaluru FC thrashed 10-man East Bengal 4-1 to win the inaugural Super Cup football tournament here on Friday.

Chhetri scored off a penalty in the 69th minute before exploiting some poor marking by the East Bengal defence to head in his second in the 90th.

An accurate header

by Rahul Bheke (40th) and a superb finish by Nicoals Fedor (71st) brought the other goals for Bengaluru.

East Bengal striker Ansumana Kromah (28th) had earlier put the Kolkata giants in the lead with an excellent back volley.

Bengaluru thus maintained their record of winning a trophy in each of the five seasons they have been in existence.

They have won five trophies during the brief period they have been in existence, which include two I-League titles and an equal number of Federation Cup crowns apart from the inaugural edition of the Super Cup. Most of the first half of

Friday’s final was a tough, physical battle in which both teams were more or less equally matched.

East Bengal took the lead off a corner when a deflection found its way to Kromah who scored with an acrobatic back volley.

Bheke found the equaliser for Bengaluru towards the end of the first half with an accurate header off a corner.

East Bengal were reduced to 10 men just before the break when their rightback Samad Mallik was sent off for a punch into the face of Bengaluru’s

In the final match played between Tizu house

and Doyang house on April 19, the former dominated the match throughout and won by straight sets.

Though Tizu house won the sub junior category final, the championship title went to Melak house on the basis of overall points.

Cdt Rohit Raj of Tizu was adjudged the best player in sub-junior category.

Gp Capt Sharad R Keskar, the principal of the school graced the occasion as chief guest. He awarded certificates and medals to all the winners.

Subhasish Bose after being at the end of a somewhat rash tackle.

The second half saw more open football with Bengaluru creating the better chances.

Bengaluru goalkeeper Gurpreet Sandhu produced an excellent save in the 57th minute to keep out a well taken free-kick by Mehmood al-Amna.

Bengalur u were awarded a penalty following a hand ball by East Bengal’s Gurwinder Singh inside the penalty box.

Chhetri stepped forward to punch in the spot kick and give Bengaluru the lead.

Bengaluru increased the lead when Victor Pérez Alonso won the ball at the halfway line and played a one-two with Antonio Rodríguez Dovale before finding Fedor at the top of the East bengal penalty box.

Fedor’s half turn and stunning finish from just inside the penalty area bulged the net as East Bengal goalkeeper C.K. Ubaid was reduced to a mere spectator.

Chhetri then went on to put the last nail into East Bengal’s coffin as Bengaluru won the title in style.

PL clubs post record profits L o n do n , A p r 2 0 (Agencies): Premier League clubs posted record profits last season, according to figures released by Deloitte.

According to analysis of the clubs’ accounts for the 2016/17 season, the Premier League made a collective pre-tax profit of £0.5 billion, almost three times the previous record of £0.2 billion in 2013/14.

The clubs also generated a record operating profit - total revenues minus wages and other business costs, apart from transfer fees - of £1 billion, double the figure for the previous season. Wages rose by nine per cent to a new record of £2.5billion, but overall revenue rose 25 per cent.

Chelsea keep Champions League hopes alive L o n do n , A p r 2 0 (Agencies): Chelsea remain in the hunt for Champions League qualification after ending Burnley’s winning streak with a 2-1 victory at Turf Moor on Thursday.

Victor Moses struck a 69th-minute winner to move Antonio Conte’s side to within five points of fourthplaced Tottenham with four games to play and the result will build confidence ahead of Sunday’s FA Cup semifinal against Southampton.

Kevin Long’s unfortunate own goal (20) had given Chelsea a first-half lead, which was cancelled out by Ashley Barnes’ fortuitous strike (64), but Burnley’s run of five successive victories would ultimately be ended by last season’s champions.

Sean Dyche’s side remain in seventh place as they continue to fight for a Europa League spot, but are now two points behind Arsenal having played a game more.

Chelsea opened the scoring in unlikely fashion in the 20th minute when Victor Moses crossed from the right and Pope failed to punch the ball away, instead palming the ball onto the knee and then hand of his own defender Long and seeing it rebound into the net.

The goalkeeper was at fault for the goal, but twice denied the wasteful Alvaro Morata in the first half, clearing an early shot across goal with his legs before rushing off his line to stop the striker getting a

shot away.

Morata, who started in a front two alongside Olivier Giroud, was guilty of a glaring miss 10 minutes after half-time when he was played clean through by N’Golo Kante, but after taking two touches to set himself steered the ball narrowly wide of the post.

And Chelsea were even more frustrated in the

64th minute when Burnley equalised in fortunate circumstances. Johann Berg Gudmundsson struck a low shot from 20 yards which was heading wide, but it took a fierce deflection off Barnes, wrong-footing Thibaut Courtois and finding its way into the far corner.

But the away side restored their lead five minutes later when Emerson’s

left-wing cross found Moses unmarked eight yards from goal and he drilled a low shot past Pope at his near post.

Eden Hazard emerged from the bench for the final 20 minutes, but the victory was rarely under threat in the closing stages and Conte still has a top-four finish - as well as FA Cup glory - in his sights this season.

Southampton remain deep in relegation trouble after they could only manage a 0-0 draw against a below-par Leicester at the King Power Stadium.

The hosts arguably had the game’s best chance, as Alex McCarthy produced a fine save to deny a trademark effort from Jamie Vardy with 20 minutes remaining.

It was a rare moment of quality during a cagey affair, with Southampton’s

best chance to break the deadlock falling to Shane Long in the second half, but Ben Hamer was out quick to smother his shot.

The point means the Saints are still four points adrift of safety, with 17thplaced Swansea to play their game in hand away to Manchester City this weekend.

Mark Hughes, who fielded an unchanged side despite Southampton’s FA Cup semi-final against

Chelsea on Sunday, may see this as a missed opportunity to close the gap further on their relegation rivals given Leicester’s subdued display.

Claude Puel will have relished the chance to do a domestic double over his former club, but after seeing his team now go three games without a victory, the Frenchman will be keen for the season not to peter out in the remaining four games.

Lacklustre Leicester hold Southampton 0-0

CWG star Batra recommended for Arjuna Award NEW DELHI, Apr 20 (PTI): The Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI) on Friday recommended Manika Batra, the country’s only quadruple medallist at the Commonwealth Games, for the prestigious Arjuna Award.

“We sent her nomination today. With such a strong performance in Gold Coast, it will be very difficult for the (government) committee to ignore her,” a Table Tennis Federation of India official said.

Batra created history in Gold Coast, singlehandedly taking India to maiden team gold before winning singles gold, another first.

The 22-year-old beat world number four and triple Olympic medallist, Feng Tianwei of Singapore, twice in the tournament.

She also secured a women’s doubles silver alongside Mouma Das and mixed doubles bronze with G Sathiyan.

Manika Batra’s next assignment is the World Team Championships in Sweden from April 29.

Murray, Serena in line for French Open Paris, Apr 20 (Agencies): Andy Murray and Serena Williams are both in line to appear at the French Open after tournament organisers confirmed they are on the entry list.

Murray, who has not played since last year’s Wimbledon, was widely expected to make his return during the grass-court campaign but could now return sooner than expected while Williams returned to the sport in February after 13 months away for the birth of her first child.

The 30-year-old British No 2 was confirmed to play on the grass courts of Rosmalen in the Netherlands last month but could now target a maiden title at Roland Garros if he returns in time after his recovery from hip surgery.

Williams is a threetime champion on the Paris clay and has not played since a first-round exit to Naomi Osaka at the Miami Open and would enter the season’s second Grand Slam on a ‘protected ranking’, with her current ranking at 445 in the world.

World No 1 and 10time champion Rafael Nadal headlines the men’s entry list and is expected to secure a record-extending 11th crown when the tournament begins on May 27, while great rival Roger Federer decided to skip the entirety of the clay court campaign.
