Impeachment of CJI Misra After VP rejects motion, Cong to move SC NEW DELHI, APR 23 (AGENCIES): Congress on Monday said it will file a petition in the Supreme Court to challenge the Rajya Sabha Chairman’s order rejecting the impeachment notice against Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dipak Misra.

Earlier in the day, Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu, who is also the Chairman of the Upper House, rejected the impeachment notice submitted to him by Opposition members of Rajya Sabha led by the Congress. The CPI, the CPI(M), the NCP, the SP, the BSP, and the IUML were the parties that had agreed to the motion.

In a press conference in New Delhi on Monday, Congress leader and former Law Minister Kapil Sibal said the Chairman’s order was “ill-advised and illegal.”

Claiming that the Chairman’s discretion was limited, Sibal said “he (Naidu) shouldn’t have disposed

Dmu: Mobile food testing lab to visit markets today DIMAPUR, APR 23 (NPN): Mobile food testing laboratory christened as “Food Safety on Wheels” will be visiting markets here on Tuesday and Wednesday to collect samples of edible substances, including edible oils, water, milk, beverages, spices, etc.

According to food safety officer of Dimapur Sendong Jamir, this is part of the newly-launched scheme “Strengthening of Food Testing System” of Food Safety & Standard Authority of India (FSSAI) to create a network of modern food testing laboratory at the State level.

The main aims of this scheme are to create awareness and sensitise vendors and consumers on food safety, check for common adulterants in food and transport samples from remote areas to the food testing laboratory.

Earlier, Dr K Vikato Kinimi formally launched t h e “ Fo o d S a f e t y o n Wheels” here on Monday. He urged the public and local authorities to extend their support and co-operation to the initiative to ensure that safe and nutritious food are sold and consumed in the State’s commercial hub.

Venkaiah Naidu signing the rejection orders (ANI)

of without constituting an inquiry Committee.”

“The Chairman’s order says the charges are unverifiable. How can you verify without conducting an inquiry,” Sibal asked.

The Congress leader also hoped that the matter wouldn’t be listed under the CJI, but however, said the party will accept the top court’s verdict.

On Saturday, Opposition MPs handed over the impeachment motion to Naidu. The notice was moved “on five grounds of misbehaviour.”

In his 10-page order, Naidu claimed that the Opposition MPs were “unsure” of their own case and that their notice was based

on “suspicion and conjectures.” “... we cannot allow any of our pillars of governance to be weakened by any thought, word or action,” he said in a 10page order, holding that admission of the notice was “neither desirable nor proper”.

“I am also aware that it is imperative that we should have extraordinary, important and substantial grounds for the removal of a judge,” he said in the order after holding legal consultations on Sunday.

The Chairman’s ruling came before proceedings opened in the Supreme Court on Monday apparently to enable the Chief

Justice to continue his work uninterrupted.

On April 20, 64 members of the Rajya Sabha submitted a motion to Naidu alleging five charges of “misbehaviour” against the CJI including conspiracy to pay illegal gratification in a case relating to an educational trust and the alleged violation of code of conduct for judges by presiding over every bench that heard the case and passed orders.

“I have also gone through the comments made by former Attorney General, constitutional experts and editors of prominent newspapers which are unequivocal and nearly unanimous that the present notice of motion before me is not a fir case for removal of judges,” Naidu said in his order.

“I have considered each of the allegations individually as well as collectively in the light of annexures annexed to the notice of the motion but also in the light of cogent, relevant material available in the form of judicial orders passed the apex court of the country. Based on all this, I have come to the conclusion that this motion does not deserve to be admitted.”

“A review is underway to lift the PAP from other areas too,” another official said. Citizens from Pakistan, China and Afghanistan, however, continue to be banned from all PAP areas, including Nagaland, Mizoram and Manipur.

As per a December 30, 2010 circular of the ministry, Manipur, Mizoram and Nagaland were excluded from the protected area regime initially for a period of one year from January 1, 2011, subject to some conditions.

NEW DELHI, APR 23 (PTI): Foreign tourists, except those from Pakistan, China and Afghanistan, would now be allowed to visit some of the most pristine locations of the country which, so far, were out of bounds for them without a special permit, officials said Monday.

The Home Ministry has decided to relax the six-decade-old Protected Area Permit (PAP) regime from Nagaland, Mizoram and Manipur for five years with effect from April 1, a ministry official said.

Under the Foreigners (Protected Areas) Order, 1958, all areas falling between the Inner line and the International Border of some states were declared as protected areas.

The protected areas currently include whole of Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Sikkim, besides parts of Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and Jammu and Kashmir. Some parts of Sikkim fall under the protected area regime while others under the re(Cont’d on p-8) stricted area.

As per the guidelines, a foreign national is not normally allowed to visit a protected or restricted area unless the government is satisfied that there are extraordinary reasons to justify his or her visit.

Every foreigner, except a citizen of Bhutan, who desires to enter and stay in a protected or restricted area, is required to obtain a special permit from a competent authority having the power to issue such permits.

AFSPA removed from Meghalaya AFSPA has been removed completely from Meghalaya and its area of operation in Arunachal Pradesh has been restricted to eight police stations bordering Assam and three districts neighbouring Myanmar, officials said today.

The decision has been taken due to a significant improvement of security situation in the state, a Home Ministry official said.

In Arunachal Pradesh, areas under the controversial act have been reduced from 16 police stations areas bordering Assam to eight police stations besides Tirap, Changlang and Longding districts, the official said. There have been demands from various organisations in the North East as well as in Jammu and Kashmir for repealing the act, which, they say, gives “sweeping powers” to the security forces to act against “civilians”.

North East states asked to expedite Four districts STPF decries poor state of health centre face power digitisation of PDS to check fraud tooutage: DoP

AGARTALA, APR 23 (IANS): Centre has asked the North Eastern states to expedite the computerisation of the Public Distribution System (PDS) to ensure greater efficiency and transparency, and to check large-scale fraud.

“After the digitisation of ration cards and computerisation of PDS, transparency and performance of the government-sponsored food supply system will improve and various fraudulent acts and falsification will be curbed,” Union Food and Public Distribution Department Director D.K. Gupta told IANS here.

He said: “After full operationalisation of the computerised PDS and digitisation of ration cards, infiltrators and fake beneficiaries will not be able to benefit from PDS. Infiltration of

people in the North Eastern region from across the borders is a major issue.”

The official said that while digitisation of ration cards in most states, including in the Northeast, was completed, progress of Aadhaar seeding in ration cards was very poor in most of the states in the region, except Tripura and Sikkim.

He said seeding of Aadhaar in ration cards in Tripura and Sikkim was at over 90 per cent, but in the other North Eastern states this was on an average only at 30 per cent. “The situation is extremely bad in Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur and Mizoram.”

Gupta, who was here to address a two-day workshop on “Digital Transformation and Automation of PDS Operations”, said that the Central government had

asked all the North Eastern states to complete digitisation of ration cards and computerisation of PDS by June this year.

He said the Centre had introduced “Integrated Management of Public Distribution System (IM-PDS)” to integrate the PDS system, portals of states and Union Territories with the Central System and portals, introduction of National Portability and de-duplication of ration cards and beneficiaries. “ T h e n ew s c h e m e would bring more transparency and efficiency in the distribution of food grains as it would improve the mechanism to identify fake and duplicate ration cards and provide the option to PDS beneficiaries to lift their entitled food grains from Fair Price Shops of their choice.

DIMAPUR, APR 23 (NPN): Department of Power (DoP) has informed all electricity consumers under Tuensang, Mon, Zunheboto and Longleng districts and also Changtongya and Tuli area under Mokokchung district that supply of power in thier districts would be disrupted occasionally from April 24-28, 2018 due to maintenance work to be carried out at 132/66/33KV Aolichen sub-station, Mokokchung.

In a press release, Mokokchung transmission division assistant engineer stated that the proposed maintenance work would affect 66KV Tuensang, Zunheboto and Tuli line and, therefore, requested affected consumers to bear with the inconvenience.

DIMAPUR, APR 23 (NPN): Shamator Town P u b l i c Fo r u m ( S T P F ) has stated that community health centre (CHC) Shamator with no doctor, insufficient staff and poor infrastructure was functioning even below the standard of sub-centres.

In a press release, STPF president, S Mukamchim, said that to evaluate and assess the availability of its facilities, services and staff strength, the forum officials conducted a physical verification of the CHC Shamator on April 23, 2018.

During verification, STPF said it found out that the lone doctor posted at the CHC Shamator was “wilfully absenting” from the duty since November 2017.

The forum said the health facility was merely being shouldered by three GNM (one GNM from NRHM), one ANM, one pharmacist, one lab techni-

cian, two lab attendants, one dresser, seven MAs, two vaccinators, one SW, one SI, one ASHA coordinator, one counsellor, one block programme manager, one family welfare assistant, one MDS (malaria), one LDA and few other grade-iv personnel.

STPF pointed out that one LHP got attachment at Kiphire, one ANM got attachment at Tuensang while another one ANM got transferred out. Besides, it stated that one pharmacist, one vaccinator transferred out and one LDA were transferred out. Further, the forum stated that after the demise of one GNM in the year 2017, the appointment of a replacement was yet to be made.

STPF lamented that building structure of 12bedded CHC was nearly in a dilapidated state, adding that there was also no ambulance since July 2017.

Besides, CHC has only one stretcher, two radiant warmers of which one was badly defected. The health centre it has two oxygen cylinders but no generator, blood storage, X-ray, ultra sound, telephone connection and computer.

The forum also said that there was complete scarcity of water despite installation of stock tank. It said that the facility suffers from unhygienic surrounding due to careless dumping of garbage, adding electric wire connection was also all worn out.

Because of the congestion of building structure, the forum said many essential rooms could not find desired accommodation besides lack of room for night duty staff personnel.

STPF underlined that people faced immense sufferings due to lack of proper services, facilities and medicines, especially those in emergency or casualty cases.

DIMAPUR: Nagaland State Disaster Management Authority (NSDMA) – Home Department will be conducting a state wide mega mock drill of Nagaland Emergency Preparedness Exercise (NEPEx) on April 26 to test the capability of the government of Nagaland to respond to and manage disaster. The drill will be conducted in collaboration with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).

With the state gearing up for the mock drill, district administrations have been making preparations to ensure that the exercise is a coordinated success.

Kohima: NSDMA has urged the public to note that on April 26, 2018, churches across Kohima would ring bells to announce the beginning of the mock drill.

The Church bells would

ring for three minutes and immediately people in the schools, institutions and offices will respond by method of “Drop, Cover and Hold.”

A second alarm will be rung after two minutes after which all stakeholders, who executed the “Drop, Cover and Hold”, would evacuate to safer places covering their heads with their hands or any hard object.

Further, NSDMA has requested the public to not spread rumours of impending earthquake/disaster, which could cause fear psychosis. “NEPEx is only a preparedness exercise and is not a warning of any impending disaster,” NSDMA stated.

Dimapur: DDMA Dimapur held an emergency meeting April 23 at the DCs conference hall Dimapur, to discuss the NEPEx mock drill.

Staff Reporter DIMAPUR, APR 23 (NPN): A police team from West Police Station, Dimapur conducted a surprise raid at one Punjab Hotel, Dhobinalla, here on Monday and seized around 290 cases of assorted Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL).

Assam SPOs demand job regularisation Guwahati, Apr 23 ( A g e n ci e s ) : S o m e 300 special police officers (SPOs) on Monday blocked an arterial bridge across river Brahmaputra demanding regularisation of their jobs.

They threatened to commit mass suicide by jumping into the river before the police dragged them away to restore order.

About 650 SPOs have been jobless since the Assam government discharged them in 2015. They have been awaiting absorption in the proposed third Assam Industrial Security Force, as the government had promised, The Hindu reported.

“We have no job, no money to look after our families. The government does not want us to live, and by preventing us from jumping into the river, it does not want us to die either,” an SPO told newspersons.

The State government had raised the SPOs in 2008 to guard government officials and vital installations after militants triggered large-scale violence in Dima Hasao district. Many surrendered rebels were included into the squad under rehabilitation schemes.

“Initially, 900 SPOs were recruited. But the government discharged 298 of them in 2010 without any notice. The remaining SPOs were discharged in 2015, but none of us were given the revised pay since September 2013,” Dilip Saikia, president of SPO Welfare Society, had said some time ago.

Tripura BJP aims to wrest two LS seats from CPI(M) in 2019

Agartala, Apr 23 (PTI): The BJP in Tripura will look to bolster the party machinery to wrest two Lok Sabha seats from the CPI(M) in the upcoming general elections next year, state party leaders said.

At the first state committee meeting of the party after the BJP-IPFT government came to power last month, senior leaders deliberated on training party workers at the booth level to better communicate with voters, BJP spokesperson Mrinal Kanti Deb told PTI.

“It was decided that a group of disciplined, hardworking and honest party workers from the grass-root level would be screened and trained so that they work in booth levels to keep a close touch with voters, understand their problems and help the government cater benefits to them,” another party spokesperson, Subrata Chakraborty, said.

All the MLAs and ministers of the state would have to take organisational responsibilities, BJP national general secretary Ram Madhab said in the meeting yesterday.

SC seeks govt’s reply on plea against polygamy, nikah halala Show provisions of criminalising gay sex: SC

Supreme Court of India. answered was whether under a secular Constitution, women, merely by virtue of their religious identity, can be relegated to a status significantly more vulnerable than their counterparts professing other faiths.

“The practices under challenge [Polygamy, Nikah Halala, Nikah Mutah and Nikah Misyar] are practices which impact the social status and dignity of Muslim women and render them unequal and vulnerable qua men belonging to their own community; women belonging to other communities and also Muslim women outside India,” Hasan said.

‘Nikah Mutah’ and ‘Nikah Misyar’ are both temporary marriages where the duration of the relationship is specified and agreed upon in advance.

The apex court had on March 26 referred a batch of pleas challenging the practice of polygamy and

others to the constitution bench.

The bench had considered the submission that an earlier five-judge constitution bench, in its 2017 verdict, had kept open the issue of polygamy and ‘nikah halala’ while quashing triple talaq.

While polygamy allows a Muslim man to have four wives, ‘nikah halala’ deals with the process in which a Muslim woman, who wants to remarry her husband after divorce, has to first marry another person and get divorce from him after consummation.

By a majority of 3:2, a five-judge constitution bench, on August 22 last year, had banned the 1,400 year-old practice of instant ‘triple talaq’ among Sunni Muslims and set it aside on several grounds including that it was against the basic tenets of the Holy Quran and violated the Islamic law Shariat.

The Supreme Court on Monday sought the Central government’s response on hotelier Kesav Suri challenging Indian Penal Code’s Section 377 which criminalises any sort of homosexual activity and other forms of unnatural sex.

Suri, the Managing Director of Lalit Suri Hospitality group, is also a LGBT rights activists.

As the bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justice A.M. Khanwilkar and Justice D.Y. Chandrachud tagged Suri’s plea with an earlier pending challenge to Section 377, senior counsel Mukul Rohatgi urged the court to ask the government to respond to the plea.

The top court is already seized of the matter as it had on January 8 had said that it will re-examine its 2013 verdict upholding Section 377 that criminalises gay sex. The matter has been referred to a larger bench.

Referring the matter to a larger bench, the court had on January 8 said: The top court’s January 8 order had come on a petition by Sangeet Natak Akademi awardee Bharatnatyam dancer Navtej Singh Johar, celebrity chef Ritu Dalmia and others holding that Section 377 was “violative of fundamental rights under Article Article 21 (right to life)”.

The top court by its 2013 order had set aside a Delhi High Court’s July 2, 2009 verdict decriminalising gay sex.

BANGALURU, APR 23, (AGENCIES): The Election Commission (EC) had received 1,127 nominations for the May 12 Karnataka assembly elections till Monday, the penultimate day before the deadline ends, the poll panel said.

Of these, 174 were filed by ruling Congress’ candidates, 178 from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), 141 from the Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S), 457 independents and the remaining from other parties and regional outfits.

These also include more than one nomination by certain candidates.

As per an official notification issued on April 17, the last date for filing nominations across 224 Assembly constituencies is Tuesday (April 24).

The last date for withdrawal of nominations is April 27. Voting will be held on May 12, and counting done on May 15.

Those who filed nominations on Monday included Congress state unit chief G Parameshwara from Koratagere in Tumakuru district, Congress leader and Bengaluru development minister KJ George from Sarvagnanagar in east Bengaluru and sitting BJP MLA Aravind Limbavali from Mahadevapura.

The nominations are accepted between 11am and 3pm daily and general category candidates pay a deposit of Rs 10,000 along with poll affidavits whereas candidates from Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes deposit Rs 5,000 each.

High Court questions credibility of POSCO Act amendment

NEW DELHI, APR 23 (IANS): The Delhi High Court on Monday questioned why the ordinance on amending the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act, to provide for death penalty to those convicted of raping a child up to 12 years old, was cleared without conducting any research on the issue.

The observation by a bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C. Hari Shankar came while dealing with a plea seeking to strike down the amendments made in the rape law post the December 16, 2012 Delhi gangrape incident here as they are “being abused”.

Asking if any study or research was conducted while clearing the ordinance on Pocso, the court observed that it seemed to come after people started demanding strict punishment against the rapists of minors.

It said that the ordinance is also silent on granting welfare to the rape victims and does not deal with

Justice Gita Mittal issues related to educating and sensitising youth and juveniles on sexual offences against women, especially minors.

On Sunday President Ram Nath Kovind approved an ordinance to provide death penalty for those convicted of raping girls younger than 12 years besides clearing another ordinance to confiscate property of fugitive economic offenders.

The President promulgated The Criminal Law (Amendment) Ordinance, 2018, approved by the Cabinet on Saturday, that seeks

to provide effective deterrence against rape and instil a sense of security among women, particularly young girls.

The ordinance amends the Indian Penal Code, the Indian Evidence Act, the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act. The ordinance comes against the backdrop of the rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl in Kathua in Jammu and Kashmir, the rape of a teenager in Unnao in Uttar Pradesh and similar crimes in other parts of the country. The court, hearing a plea filed by academician Madhu Purnima Kishwar, listed the matter for September.

Kishwar’s plea has sought striking down of some of the provisions of the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013, which provides for amendments to the Indian Penal Code, Indian Evidence Act and Code of Criminal Procedure on laws related to sexual offences.

DC-899

NEW DELHI, APR 23 (AGENCIES): The Supreme Court on Monday directed the Centre to respond to a plea seeking to declare the provisions of Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) validating the practice of polygamy and ‘nikah halala’ as unconstitutional.

A bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud, while issuing notice to the Centre and the National Commission for Women, also ordered tagging of the petition with other similar pleas which have already been referred to a five-judge constitution bench for further hearing.

The order came on a separate petition, filed by Lucknow resident Naish Hasan.

Senior lawyer V K Shukla and advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay representing Hasan said similar pleas have already been admitted for hearing by a five-judge constitution bench.

“Declare Section 2 of the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937, unconstitutional and violative of Articles 14(Equality before law), 15 (Prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth) and 21 (Protection of life and personal liberty) of the Constitution, insofar as it seeks to recognise and validate the practice of Polygamy, Nikah Halala, Nikah Mutah and Nikah Misyar,” the plea said.

Naish Hasan, in the fresh petition, said the pivotal issue that needed to be

Rebellion within BJP

F

ormer finance minister during the NDA government led by then prime minister Atal Behari Vajpayee (1996 and 1998-2003), Yashwant Sinha has quit the BJP after a series of attacks on the functioning of the Modi-led NDA government.

However his son Jayant Sinha MoS finance remains with the Modi government. When he resigned on Saturday, Sinha accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s party of undermining democratic institutions.

Sinha’s resignation comes against the backdrop of how the BJP had embroiled itself in rape cases. In one case party members had appeared to support the Hindu men accused of raping an eight-year-old Muslim girl, and in another case in Uttar Pradesh a BJP lawmaker was alleged to have raped a teenager.

Perhaps the timing of his resignation may have been coincidental but Sinha made no bones that under the Modi government, India’s religious minorities had become alienated. He said the minorities who are the weakest sections of society, such as -scheduled castes and tribes- have been “exposed to atrocities as never before” and that the guarantees given to them in the constitution were threatened. These were very serious and politically damaging indictments against the BJP and that too made by one of its senior leaders. The reaction to Sinha’s resignation also reflected how much the mainstream media in India has become beholden to the BJP so much so, that the report, seen as not beneficial or damaging to the BJP was filtered and sanitised. Sinha was described as a has-been in the political world and whose coming (Janta Dal) and going(BJP)was of greater interest to him than to the public. Sinha was not redundant but made to by Modi and Shah. The duo did the same to potential challengers and exploited the ‘Kamaraj Plan’ formula to justify the forced retirement of those above 75. Nevertheless, the gag order on party members exposed the inner war between the less hawkish section led by L.K.Advani versus the hawkish section under Modi and Shah. Those who chose to defy the gag order had much to say to the people. These included former minister Arun Shourie, prominent Bollywood star MP Shatrughan Sinha and Sudheendra Kulkarni former advisor to Vajpayee and Advani. The criticisms hit the BJP and in particular, Modi where it hurt most.

However, unlike the above, Yashwant Sinha chose to quit the party instead of remaining an in-house dissident.Also unlike L.K.Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi who have been sidelined and relegated to the ranks of Margdarshak Mandal or purported visionaries, Sinha rejected such an offer. He wants to prove he is not finished despite turning 75 and wants to play an active role in the run up to the 2019 elections. The fall out of Yashwant’s resignation from the BJP may not necessarily impact the Karnataka elections since the issues are localised. However, the resignation has further strengthened the belief that if the Karnataka election results don’t go the BJP’s way then it could face a serious internal revolt against the Modi-Shah duo. The fence sitters would probably either come out of BJP or take over the party. The BJP under Modi and Shah is not a pushover as the entire machinery has been honed to be an election machine of gigantic proportion. However, it is an irony that the party which seeks to divide society is today itself divided over this very ideology.

DailyDevotion Do You Worship The Work?

We are God’s fellow workers… —1 Corinthians 3:9 Beware of any work for God that causes or allows you to avoid concentrating on Him. A great number of Christian workers worship their work. The only concern of Christian workers should be their concentration on God. This will mean that all the other boundaries of life, whether they are mental, moral, or spiritual limits, are completely free with the freedom God gives His child; that is, a worshiping child, not a wayward one. A worker who lacks this serious controlling emphasis of concentration on God is apt to become overly burdened by his work.

He is a slave to his own limits, having no freedom of his body, mind, or spirit. Consequently, he becomes burned out and defeated. There is no freedom and no delight in life at all. His nerves, mind, and heart are so overwhelmed that God’s blessing cannot rest on him.

But the opposite case is equally true– once our concentration is on God, all the limits of our life are free and under the control and mastery of God alone. There is no longer any responsibility on you for the work. The only responsibility you have is to stay in living constant touch with God, and to see that you allow nothing to hinder your cooperation with Him. The freedom that comes after sanctification is the freedom of a child, and the things that used to hold your life down are gone. But be careful to remember that you have been freed for only one thing– to be absolutely devoted to your co-Worker.

We have no right to decide where we should be placed, or to have preconceived ideas as to what God is preparing us to do. God engineers everything; and wherever He places us, our one supreme goal should be to pour out our lives in wholehearted devotion to Him in that particular work. “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might…” (Ecclesiastes 9:10).

Quotes

Many people resented my impatience and honesty, but I never cared about acceptance as much as I cared about respect. ~ Jackie Robinson

S

o many companies test on animals. Even those that don’t need to do so.

For instance, perfume companies by now have isolated all the ingredients needed to make a perfume. It is simply a matter of mixing them.

But they continue to spray the perfume in rabbits’ eyes, slice their skins open and rub it in, and other terrible tests.

This is done by perfumers like Aramis, Balenciaga, Bvlgari, Cacharel, Donna Karan, Dunhill Fragrances, Elizabeth Arden, Gucci Fragrances, Hugo Boss, Jo Malone, Lacoste Fragrances, Marc Jacobs Fragrances, Michael Kors, Missoni, Ralph Lauren Fragrances, Tommy Hilfiger, and Kenzo.

Toothpaste companies make animals eat their products to see after how many toothpastes the animal dies.

Does it prove anything ?

Has any human ever eaten five toothpaste tubes of goo?

Or even one? But Aquafresh, Close-up, Colgate, Crest, Listerine, Mentadent, Pearl Drops, Sensodyne, Signal, Old Spice, Right Guard, continue to test.

The animal testing and experimentation industry is everywhere. It is secretive, pervasive and profitable. Most of you don’t even know that the products that you buy have so much suffering in them. But why this needless exploitation of animals in research, product testing and education? India used to buy over 1 crore frogs a year for school dissection. When the government banned this, it made no difference to the quality of education. Kerala teachers insisted that they should kill something, so, for years the frog suppliers turned into cockroach suppliers, until one chief minister stopped this as well. Zoology teachers insisted on the killing of 1000 + animals during the course of

3 years. When it was stopped, the teaching improved – but every now and then some zoology teacher will insist on trying to restart this. Ask the suppliers of animals where the nexus is, and they will point their fingers at the teacher.

Rabbits used to be tested in the making of injections – even though these are machine made. When then government banned it, the same injections continue to be made. The government pesticide council has ordered that the testing of animals till they die is to be stopped. This will have no impact on the pesticides at all. Thousands of soaps and perfumes do not test on animals, and they are just as good. It has been found that 90% of the medicines tested on animals have failed . So why does this carry on?

It is a well entrenched business mafia that continues to insist on animals being experimented on. It hides in the garb of science. It is an international, governmentsanctioned and -funded, multi-billion rupee business.

To give you one example: Raids done by my organization ten years ago found a dealer in Agra who had over 20,000 dead animals in his house as specimens. He was a retired forest officer. Most of them were wild protected species; crocodiles, snakes, bats, every kind of mammal.

The police found, through his computer, that he was selling to certain labs in Delhi University. When the wildlife department passed laws saying that no school/college will keep specimens, it was the illegal buyers in this list (who are teachers) that took delegations to ministers to protest.

One researcher in JNU killed a rat a day for over 10 years to prove that when rats were asleep, they were not awake. His salary was huge

Better solutions and he lived rent free at the university as a scientist. There are thousands like him. India has a CPCSEA committee that regulates the experiments on animals . I created this body and it was supposed to stop duplicative and unnecessary experiments. It has gone into the hands of people who pass every kind of experiment for a fee. If they stopped an experiment, the researcher would lose his grant, so it is easier to split the money in advance.

It is simple to get grants for experimenting on animals.

Governments, and private research centres, give them.

For instance, in America 47 % of the grants given by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have an animal research-based component.

In 2015, this came to well over $10 billion in funding for projects that included animal experimentation. So, scientists band together and professional lobbying organizations craft, and market, sophisticated campaigns to defend and promote even more animal research.

Who benefits? The salaries of researchers and technicians, who carry out animal experiments, provide financial incentives. Universities and other academic institutions profit from the percentage of “overhead” that they receive from the grants for animal experiments from the government. Unthinking politicians and clever bureaucrats allow laws mandating

the testing of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, drugs, to assess safety and efficacy.

The defence ministry allows testing of guns and gases on animals, the carmakers allow diesel testing on animals, the ministry of agriculture allows it for pesticides, the Consumer Product Safety Councils allow it for products, and FSSAI allows it for foods.

Everyone benefits – except the millions of animals that suffer and die needlessly.

Who e l se be nefits?

NGOs posing as charities that raise billions of dollars from well-meaning people, hoping to find cures for virtually every human disease —even when animal models for human diseases fail to predict what is safe or effective for people after decades of funding.

Animal breeders profit handsomely from breeding and genetically engineering animals, from mice to primates. Recent prices quoted from one animal supply company’s catalogue identified White Rabbits as high as $352 each, Beagles from China for $1,049 and some primates costing more than $8,000 each.

Suppliers, of food, cages and equipment related to animal-model research, have a lucrative business. Veterinarians, employed to supposedly care for research animals, are paid highly to ignore the suffering and give their stamps of approval.

Pharmaceutical compa-

Nagaland Post, Dimapur TUESDAY, APRIL 24, 2018 nies fuel the animal research “machine” by conducting animal studies before moving to the real research on human beings. If the humans suffer or die – as they often do, the company protects itself legally by saying that trials did OK on animals. These corporate giants use animal studies as a legal safety net by telling courts that they did what the law requires—prove the safety of a drug in animals—and therefore are not liable when a drug harms a human.

Even the media profits from the “publish or perish” mentality within the scientific community to justify animal research by using the results of animal tests to announce “medical miracles,” which help them sell more journals, newspapers and increase TV ratings. On an average there are three stories a week on how testing on rats has shown every kind of cure – from miracle hair growth by using an oil used for cooking fast food, to a cancer cure. Two days later this is forgotten and the cure is never heard of again.

Government is made largely of politicians and bureaucrats who go with the flow. This government endorsed a proposal made by the last: to put Rs 200 crores into 100 acres of land in Telengana to grow animals for research. If I asked them for the same money for better sanitary towels, the answer would be that it is a waste of money.

Anyone opposing experimentation wilts under opposition from these businesses. I have faced it many times. At the moment I am trying to get capsules made vegetarian. The entire gelatine industry is opposing this. So, media articles come out regularly, from so called independent journalists, saying that vegetarian capsules

are bad and expensive. The committee to regulate this is full of industry people. It will happen – but it will take me and you some time to wade through the vested interests.

The government mandated a red /green dot (veg/nonveg) on household products. Immediately the “beauty council”, which is a conglomerate of companies who produce everything from soap to house cleaners, went to court and got a stay. It has been four years now and not once has it come up in court !!! So you can imagine how many people have been “influenced”.

Some animal tests take months or years to conduct and analyze (e.g., 4-5 years in the case of rodent cancer studies), at a cost of hundreds of thousands—and sometimes millions—of dollars per chemical examined. The inefficiency, and exorbitant costs associated with animal testing, makes it impossible for regulators to take up the potential effects of 100,000+ chemicals currently in commerce worldwide, or the more than 1 million combinations of these chemicals to which humans are exposed to every day.

In contrast, computer modelling techniques are lightning-fast, and many cellbased in vitro methods are much more accurate —all at a much lower cost than animal tests.

It is time we looked at smarter science that is human-relevant and can provide safer and more effective solutions to human health needs. This investment, in better more humane science promises, rather than in animal testing, will pay huge dividends in smarter, better solutions for people and animals.To join the animal welfare movement contact gandhim@nic.in, www.peopleforanimalsindia.org

Post-mortem

‘A treatise to the public’ (From previous issue) A new human order: On belonging and identity Our world is increasingly proving that the mechanistic view of politics is losing its energy. People are searching for new paradigms and approaches that nullify the political presumption that for every action there is an automatic outcome. Our world is increasingly proving that people groups possess common dreams and history, which is a force more intricate and formidable than the mechanism of cause and effect.

The non-assimilative given-ness and the primordial spirit of the Nagas as a people of common belonging enable us to retain our identity. History has taught both the Nagas and our neighbours that our identity cannot be pushed to the margins, erased or addressed merely on economic well-being and development.

FNR takes the position that the Naga political issue should be placed and addressed in consonance with the historical and political aspirations of the people.

Furthermore, any politics from above must weigh from a contextual particularity of the Naga people’s unique and distinct identity. Without a doubt, this point is exigent not only in our context, but throughout the world today.

As stated publicly and often, FNR takes to heart the distinctiveness of the Naga nation – its politics of identity and history. We have made it clear that the assertion of Naga identity should never be at the expense of others, such as our neighbours, whose identities are equally unique.

We believe that an identity is marked by a boundary and yet, our boundary must be passable. Our identity is defined only in relation to others and in the strict sense, without others we have no identity. Sadly, people of identities are sedated by colonial history, the European Westphalian State* tendencies and past colonial mindsets of boundaries. Consequently, today’s resultant effect is that of victims dwelling in the past without creative imagination.

While Nagas and our neighbours are caged in fear and suspicion within our boxed-in

boundaries, we are neglecting more important issues, such as the illegal flow of people groups crossing our borders.

This issue is of greater magnitude which will eventually eclipse the fear and suspicion over political boundaries held by our neighbours.

FNR believes, as announced on Naga Day – 10 January, 2018 that Nagas need creative thinking to transcend the boundaries erected by the powers at hand. Naga Day belongs to all Nagas.

Therefore, we realize that boundaries no longer confine or suffocate us. We have learned that the way to move forward and excel as a nation of people with an identity is to accept that boundaries do not limit us. The call for “Nagas Without Borders” is a call for a creative and transformative political model within reach, without dislodging anyone at the expense of our political and historical de facto.

Equally, FNR also emphasizes that Naga belonging and identity without our neighbours keeps us in isolation. Nagas cannot shape others through our own perception and image. Rather we need to value universal human-hood by building a robust and healthy community through social and cultural ecology. This will require imagination and camaraderie.

An identity always carries with it symbols. An identity without a symbol is a crisis of identity, as identity and symbolism are different sides of the same coin. To strip symbols from an identity is to deny its existence. In the case of the Nagas, symbolism is based on history. The recognition of Naga history

by India, in turn becomes a powerful symbol of India, the largest democratic country in the world. Such a possibility is a transformative and selfdetermining arrangement born out of a magnanimous political will.

Albeit, as people increasingly become “citizens” within a citizenship, we continue to draw upon symbolism to understand and create new meaning for ourselves.

As India faces globalism, identities and symbols remain significant facilitators for inspiration, respect, and shar-

ing, which as social beings, people continually hunger for and relate to or connect with. The nation will always remain an important basis for identity and symbolism in the 21st century.

A new human order: On walking the Naga day The Naga Day of 10 January, 2018 has been a testament that Nagas have walked from many winding paths to a highway of possibilities. Through our own journey, we realize that a relative worldview confined within the thick limits of a forest can be suffocating.

The Naga Day called on the Nagas to be consolidated into a culture of belonging.

With the belief that scattering without a sense of belonging diminishes ourselves, the Naga Day was intended to be a convergence from hilly terrains onto a clear road of belonging. FNR imagines that “Walking the Naga Day” will create a robust identity through a shared socio-cultural collectivity of women and men. Walking the Naga Day is creating a new vocabulary, a socio-cultural speech of the people. It is also the birth of a civil and moral center, where a Naga pedagogy of who we are is explored and affirmed and a healthy connection with each “nation” (tribe) is built onto the highway of transformative socio-cultural power.

Naga Day has also announced that Nagas are Without Borders and that we are part of Naga history. To Walk the Naga Day is to locate our place and to offer everyone the chance to participate in this transformation by finding a common strength to remake our world. In order for the Nagas to nurture this spirit of belonging, in 2018, FNR will explore three basic intrinsic values of Confidence, Competence and, Community known as the “Three Cs.” Confidence: A nation composed of women and men who are bound to their limits and their complexes require being able to recognize the red between the black and white feathers of the hornbill.

Thus far, the Naga world has devastatingly reinforced our dismal worldview in most fronts—from education to politics, from nationalism to

idealism, from our cultural past to modernism.

Our feelings of limitation come out of an absence of clear and authentic information and the ever-untapped potential inherent in the self and the community. Can we build confidence in the self ? We need to find an opening—a hope! Hope requires clarity: seeing ourselves, having imagination, and looking beyond the current Naga worldview to what might be.

Competence: We need to be competent in who we are and what we can do.

The possibility of “to be” is to create alternate social possibilities. Both the old and young Naga generations should begin to coalesce, take affirmative changes and appreciate their wisdom and attributes which can benefit each other. Such a process is being intentionally introduced through seminars, workshops, art and cultural exchanges, as well as through publishing and access to songs, poems, and discourses.

Community: We need to be a community—a value intrinsic to human vibrancy and flourishing. Walking the Naga Day is to empower community. By finding deep connection with other individuals and “nations” we discover the power to resist obsolete ethos and recover our wisdom how to move forward and to recognize what positively contributes to our growth. Our socio-cultural center will be akin to the Civil Rights movement where our systems will be found to be unimaginative, outdated, and at times, intolerable. When a community understands this, change follows.

Conclusion Certain essential aspects and events of recent happenings have taught us that we have historical memories— and therein lies hope. Today, the Naga people and other humanity dwelling in NagaLand present intriguing possibilities for people groups living in transition to move towards a transformative and alternative government of coexistence. Our case can be a revered story for the modern world.

In the event of any political outcome to the Indo-Naga-

Burma issue, the Nagas long to see that the walls of separation are not destroyed by shells and guns, but by respecting and honoring agreements. While holding on to our ideals, Nagas need to be pragmatic in our approach and get rid of any idea in-breaking into our history by different external entities. Let us remain sincere and hopeful. We believe India and Burma will reciprocate our sincerity and authenticity.

Let us participate actively in Walking the Naga Day and in the rebuilding of our lives into a society of peaceful coexistence. * The Westphalian State can be said to find itself at the center of the traditional European culture which does not seek self-determination, but dominance at the cost of all other cultures and institutions. “Westphalia” is simultaneously used to identify an event, an idea, a process and a normative sheet. As an event, Westphalia refers to the peace settlement negotiated at the end of the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). As an idea, Westphalia refers to the state-centric character of world order premised on full participatory membership being accorded exclusively to territorially based sovereign States. As a process, Westphalia refers to the changing character of the State and

statecraft as it has evolved during more than 350 years since the treaties were negotiated, with crucial developments as both colonialism and decolonization, the advent of weaponry of mass destruction, the establishment of international institutions, the rise of global market forces, and the emergence of global civil society. Finally, as a normative score sheet, Westphalia refers to the strengths and weaknesses, as conditioned by historical circumstances, of such a sovereignty based system, shielding oppressive States from accountability, and exposing weak and economically disadvantaged States to intervention and severe forms of material deprivation. Falk continues to assert that, “this foundation for world order, besides being implicitly and operationally Eurocentric, also generated a sharp contrast in identity between the civilized “we” and the barbaric “them,” which became formalized much later in the colonial era.

Mumbai, Apr 23 (PTI): Gold prices declined by Rs 85 to Rs 31,230 per 10 grams here Monday, mainly due to a weak trend overseas and easing demand from local jewellers.

Silver also dropped by Rs 130 per kg due to reduced offtake by industrial units.

Standard gold (99.5 per cent purity) fell by Rs 85 to end at Rs 31,230 per 10 grams from last Friday’s close of Rs 31,315.

Pure gold (99.9 per cent purity) also declined by the same amount to settle at Rs 31,380 per 10 grams against Rs 31,465 previously.

Silver (.999 fineness) dipped by Rs 130 per kg to Rs 40,030 compared to Rs 40,160 previously.

Globally, gold hit a two-week low as investors piled into the dollar with US Treasury yields approaching 3 per cent.

Mentioning that in the last four years under PM Narendra Modi there has been a paradigm shift in the government’s approach towards the Northeast, particularly with regard to its development, Singh said the Act East policy also includes the endeavour to open new avenues of job generation and entrepreneurship that would also make the region the focus of India’s economic and diplomatic engagement across the eastern borders.

Referring to constraints of connectivity and transport as key impediments in the growth of trade and investment in the region, the minister claimed that in the last four years a fast-track progress has been made to address these issues.

He said new airports have come up and rail tracks set up in States that had never seen a train before, even as new inland waterways are also being developed.

As an evidence of the Centre’s high priority to the region, Singh referred to the recently-framed exclusive Northeast Industrial Development Policy, amendment to the Indian Forest Act of 1927 and setting up of an exclusive NITI Aayog Forum for North-East. With respect to Myanmar, he also referred to an MoU finalized recently between the Mandalay Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry and business groups from the Northeast.

Foreign investors and funds pulled out nearly Rs 8,000 crore from the Indian capital markets so far this month due to ‘considerable’ volatility in global markets on account of the ongoing trade negotiations and firming up of bond yields.

Meanwhile, country’s foreign exchange reserves touched a life-time high of USD 426.082 billion in the week to April 13, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said. The rupee today resumed lower at 66.20 as compared to 66.12 at the inter-bank foreign exchange (forex) market.

It extended losses in late afternoon trade to hit a fresh intra-day low of 66.49 on intense dollar pressure.

Though, the mid-session crash forced the Reserve Bank of India to step in to sell dollars through the public sector banks to rescue free-falling rupee, but the move failed to have much impact.

NEW DELHI, APR 23 (NPN): Union Minister of State for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), Dr. Jitendra Singh has asserted that India’s “Act East” policy is crucial to entire South East Asia.

Speaking at a conference on “India-Myanmar Trade and Connectivity” organised by Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations in New Delhi on Monday, Singh said Myanmar is one of the key pillars of Act East policy as through the land borders it connects India via the North Eastern States with South East Asian countries.

Emphasising that to “Act East” effectively beyond the eastern borders it is essential to first act east effectively proximal to the borders by promoting the potential of the region on this side of the border, the DoNER minister said Myanmar is not only geographically a proximate country with strong historical and economic linkages, but people on two sides of the border share common lifestyle, common food habits and common cultural traits.

Therefore, any meaningful trade or business engagement with Myanmar can be done primarily through the products and goods inherent to the Northeastern States bordering this

Mumbai, Apr 23 (PTI): Extending its losing run for the sixth straight session, the rupee Monday plummeted by a staggering 36 paise to hit a fresh 13-month low of 66.48 against the US dollar as rising crude prices and sustained foreign fund outflows led to subdued forex market sentiment.

This is the lowest closing for the home currency since March 10, 2017.

Overall sentiment for the Indian currency deteriorated further following a sudden spike in crude prices coupled with impending Fed rate hike fears.

Moreover, the Indian currency has been under pressure on growing market conviction of higher interest rate cycle after minutes of RBI’s last policy meeting indicated a shift to more hawkish stance in June despite easing inflation.

The rupee rally is pretty much done and dusted at this juncture as the sudden oil spike in recent months is

New Delhi, Apr 23 (PTI): The government has finalised the new industrial policy, which is set to be announced soon, Commerce and Industry Minister Suresh Prabhu said Monday.

The new policy will replace the industrial policy of 1991 which was prepared in the backdrop of balance of payment crisis.

“We have finalised the new industrial policy and will be announcing it soon. It is going through an inter-ministerial consultation,” Prabhu said here at an international SME convention. The proposed policy aims at promoting emerging sectors and

ease oil prices, it is not in favour of tinkering with the autonomy given to oil PSUs to revise rates daily in line with the cost.

“Once we have decided on daily price revision, it is not a good thing to tinker with that either through excise or by asking oil marketing companies to absorb prices,” the official said.

State-owned oil firms, which have been since June last year revising auto fuel prices daily, today raised petrol and diesel rates by 10 paise per litre each in Delhi, according to a price notification.

The hike, necessitated due to firming international oil prices, comes on the back of a 32 paise increase in rates of petrol effected over the last two days.

Petrol in the national capital now costs Rs 74.50 a litre, the highest since September 14, 2013, when rates had hit Rs 76.06. Diesel price at Rs 65.75 is the highest ever.

“Every rupee cut of excise on fuel will result in a loss of Rs 13,000 crore to the government,” the official said, adding that the oil ministry has not yet officially asked for a cut in fuel excise duty.

The official said states should cut VAT on fuel to ease the burden on the consumer.

“Fiscal considerations are far higher than one or two rupee price impact on consumers,” he said.

“One or two rupee increase doesn’t impact inflation.”

The central government levies Rs 19.48 a litre of excise duty on petrol and Rs 15.33 per litre on diesel. State sales tax or VAT vary from state to state. In Delhi, VAT on petrol is Rs 15.84 and Rs 9.68 a litre on diesel.

New Delhi, Apr 23 (PTI): The finance ministry is not in favour of cutting excise duty on petrol and diesel to provide relief to the common man from spike in their prices but wants states to cut sales tax or VAT on fuel, a senior official said Monday.

Petrol price Monday hit a 55-month high of Rs 74.50 a litre, while diesel rates touched a record Rs 65.75, renewing calls for a cut in excise duty to ease the burden on consumers.

The finance ministry official said however that a reduction in excise duty, which makes up for a quarter of retail fuel price, is not advisable if the government is to stick to the path of reducing budgetary deficit.

“Excise duty cut would be a political call, but is not advisable if we have to stick to the fiscal deficit glide path outlined in Budget,” he said.

The government is targeting reducing fiscal deficit to 3.3 per cent of the gross

modernising the existing industries. It will also look to reduce regulatory hurdles and encourage adoption of frontier technologies such as robotics and artificial intelligence.

Threat of nuke weapons use growing, UN warns

GENE VA , A p r 2 3 (Agencies): A top UN official Monday denounced growing rhetoric claiming that nuclear arms are necessary and warned that the risk of such weapons being used was on the rise.

“The threat of the use, intentional or otherwise, of nuclear weapons is growing,” the UN’s top representative for disarmament affairs, Izumi Nakamitsu, told a preliminary review meeting of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

The NPT, which was introduced at the height of the Cold War a half century ago, seeks to prevent the spread of atomic weapons but also puts the onus on nuclear states to reduce their stockpiles.

But speaking at the opening of the Geneva meeting, Nakamitsu

Izumi Nakamitsu

warned that “the world today faces similar challenges to the context that gave birth to the NPT.” The preparatory committee in advance of the 2020 NPT review conference comes after North Korea, which pulled out of the treaty 15 years ago, declared a moratorium on nuclear and long-range missile tests and said it would dismantle its nuclear test site.

Nakamitsu hailed the announcement, voicing

hope that the move “will contribute to building trust and to sustaining an atmosphere for sincere dialogue and negotiations.” She warned however that the overall “geopolitical environment is deteriorating.”

“Some of the most important instruments and agreements that comprise our collective security framework are being eroded,” she said.

“Rhetoric about the necessity and utility of nuclear weapons is on the rise,” she said, stressing that “modernisation programmes by nuclearweapons states are leading to what many see as a new, qualitative arms race.”

Nakamitsu noted that until recently, all the major powers have been engaged in “continuous and successive negotiations on arms control and disarmament.”

2015 Paris attack suspect jailed in Belgium B ru s s e l s, A p r 2 3 (IANS): Salah Abdeslam, the sole surviving suspect from the 2015 Paris terror attacks, was jailed in Belgium on Monday for 20 years over a gunfight that led to his arrest.

Abdeslam, 28, and co-defendant Sofien Ayari were both convicted of terror-related charges of attempted murder, BBC reported. Ayari, 24, was also given a 20-year sentence.

Abdeslam and Ayari were not in the Brussels court as the verdict was read out on Monday. Both received the maximum sentence as requested by prosecutors.

The judge said that “there can be no doubt” about the two men’s involvement with “radicalism”. On March 15, 2016, Belgian police hunting Abdeslam carried out a raid in the Forest area of Brussels.

A little over 24 hours since exhibiting bravery in the face of terror, James

Shaw Jr., 29, said he decided to take on alleged gunman Travis Reinking the very moment the gunfire ceased as the suspect was apparently reloading.

Shaw said he and a friend only ended up at the Waffle House in the Nashville suburb of Antioch at 3:17 a.m. Sunday because another Waffle House they first went to was too crowded. As he entered the restaurant, Shaw said, he

Taliban attacks kill 14 troops, policemen: Afghan officials Kabul, Apr 23 (Agencies): Taliban attacks in western Afghanistan killed 14 soldiers and policemen Monday as Kabul residents prepared to bury their loved ones slain in a horrific bombing by the Islamic State group that targeted a voter registration center the day before, killing 57.

Prayer services were held for the Kabul victims as families of those killed in yesterday’s bombing carried

the bodies of their kin and dug the graves at a cemetery in the hills above the Afghan capital. The first of today’s near-simultaneous attacks in western Badghis province hit army units in the district of Ab Kamari, killing nine soldiers, said Ghulam Sarwar Haidari, the deputy provincial police chief.

Moments later, another large group of insurgents struck police in Qadis district, killing five policemen.

Sharafuddin Majidi, spokesman for the provincial governor, confirmed the casualty tolls. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid claimed the Badghis attacks in a statement to the media. The attacks came on the heels of yesterday’s suicide blast in Kabul. The staggering casualty toll - 57 dead and 119 wounded underscored the struggles the government faces to rein in militant assaults even in

large and well-protected urban centres.

The explosion shook the city around 10 am, shattering windows miles from the site of the attack, leaving the pavement covered with bodies and blood stains and destroying nearby vehicles.

The bomber targeted civilians who were registering for national identification cards, Kabul police said.

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for

the attack in a statement carried by its Aamaq news agency, saying it had targeted Shiite “apostates.”

Afghan security forces have struggled to prevent a recent surge in attacks both by the local Islamic State affiliate as well as the more firmly established Taliban.

The attacks increased after the US and NATO concluded their combat mission in Afghanistan at the end of 2014. Both groups regularly

carry out attacks, with the Taliban usually targeting the government and security forces and IS targeting the country’s Shiite minority.

In violence elsewhere in Afghanistan, four policemen were killed and three were wounded on Monday in a Taliban attack in western Farah province, in Bala Buluk district, according to Mohammad Naser Mehri, spokesman for the provincial governor.

noticed the killer sitting in his gold-color pickup truck out front.

“I saw his face. We kind of saw each other and I walk in,” Shaw, an AT&T worker, told “GMA” coanchor Michael Strahan.

After the shooting started and he saw a body splayed in the entranceway, Shaw said, he ran to the bathroom area and hid behind a swivel door in a hallway.

“I actually just stood in the hallway because I didn’t want to be locked in there with just no line of sight and I just wanted to kind of keep an eye on it to see what was going on,” Shaw, the father of a 4-year-old girl, said.

“So he shot actually through that door and one of the bullets grazed me and then I think that’s when I became alert about the situation and was like, there’s kind of no running from this”.

Sanaa, Apr 23 (Agencies): An airstrike by the Saudi-led coalition hit a wedding party in northern Yemen, killing at least 20 people, health officials said Monday, as harrowing images emerged on social media of the bombing the previous day. Khaled al-Nadhri, the top health official in the northern province of Hajja, told The Associated Press that most of the dead were women and children who were gathered in one of the tents set up for the wedding party in the district of Bani Qayis. He says the bride was also among the dead.

Hospital chief Mohammed al-Sawmali said the groom and 45 of the wounded were brought to the local al-Jomhouri hospital. Footage that emerged from the scene of the airstrike shows scattered body parts and a young boy in a green shirt hugging a man’s lifeless body, screaming and crying.

There are other stories to tell: James Cameron on his hope for ‘Avengers’ fatigue

J

ames Cameron has revealed his hope that Avengers fans will experience superhero fatigue, so that other big screen stories can flourish. The Avatar director, who is currently developing four sequels himself, explained his apparent disdain for the”citywrecking” antics of the Marvel films in an interview with IndieWire.

“I’m hoping we’ll start getting Avenger fatigue here pretty soon,” said Cameron.

“Not that I don’t love the movies. It’s just, come on guys, there are other stories to tell besides hyper-gonadal males without families doing death-defying things for two hours and wrecking cities in the process. It’s like, oy!”

Marvel fans have been quick to point out the apparent irony of Cameron’s comments – with four Avatar sequels scheduled for release in 2020, 2021, 2024 and 2025.

week after opening to critical acclaim Shoojit Sircar’s October finds itself in the thick of an unseemly controversy with Sarika Mene, a Marathi filmmaker, alleging that the film has been plagiarised from her August 2017 Marathi film Aarti--The Unknown Love Story. Though the approaches, vision and treatment of the two films are radically different, the seeming similarity of ideas, situations and plot points, characters and relationships seem to emerge from the fact that both of them are based on the same source material--the life of Sunny Pawar who also happens to be Sarika’s younger brother.

Back in 2006 Sunny was much in news for putting everything in his own life

on hold to look after his girlfriend Aarti who had slipped into coma after a car accident.

“After seeing the trailer I thought October was 5% like my film but after watching it I found it 90% alike,” says Mene.

She filed a criminal complaint against the makers of October at the Vile Parle police station on Monday, April 16. She was told by the cops to take legal recourse instead, considering it was a copyright issue that they don’t handle.

She also filed complaints in the Akhil Bhartiya Marathi Chitrapat Maha Mandal, IMPAA and Screen Writers’ Association (who have called for a meeting with her on Saturday, April 21).

On being contacted on

Thursday Sircar confirmed having received a letter [from the makers of Aarti].

“We will surely respond to the letter officially. And post which we will let you know our official statement,” texted Sircar. On Fridaythe producers of October issued a statement: “We understand that there are some allegations of copyright infringement against our film October. We are creative people and have full faith in our work and our team, which has given extraordinary films like Piku, Pink etc. We have not heard of the film “Aarti” nor do we have full details of the matter as yet. We are sensitive towards feelings of film makers. We will look into this and deal with it appropriately.”

“James Cameron hopes avengers fatigue sets in soon.

The comments also prompted a response from Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige.

“Uh, he loves the movies!”

Feige told Vulture. “ T h a t ’s awe s o m e !

Wow, James Cameron loves our movies! That’s exciting!”

Meanwhile, Avengers: Infinity War will hit cinemas later this month – with the superhero team joining forces once more to battle the intergalactic might of Thanos.

he Supreme Court on Monday put on hold the proceedings pending against Bollywood superstar Salman Khan before several courts across the country in cases registered under the SC/ST Act for alleged derogatory remarks against a community.

A bench of Chief Justice Deepak Misra, Justice A.M. Khanwilkar and Justice D.Y. Chandrachud also issued notice to states on the actor’s plea seeking quashing of several proceedings after complaints and FIRs were registered last year.

The bench sought the state governments’ response by July 23, the next date of hearing.

The actor has been accused of humiliating the Valmiki community by using an offensive word to describe them on a TV show while promoting his film “Tiger Zinda Hai”.

SC rejects plea for cutting scenes depicting Sati from ‘Padmavat’

T

he Supreme Court on Monday rejected the plea for the chopping of the scenes from “Padmavat” which were eulogizing ‘Sati’ and would adversely impact the viewers of the film.

Rejecting the plea by petitioner, Swami Agnivesh, the bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justice A.M. Khanwilkar and Justice D.Y. Chandrachud said that once a film is given certification by the Central Board of Film Cer tification (CBFC), then there is nothing that can constitute an offence.

The court said this as counsel for Agnivesh sought registration of FIR against the producer and director of the film as scenes eulogising were against law banning Sati.

Referring to the novel “Devdas” by eminent Bengali classic novelist Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, Chief Justice Misra said: “Read the book and see its celluloid version in which veteran actor Dilip Kumar has performed the role of main character Devdas who turns alcoholic for the loss of love.”

Napoli down Juventus to keep title hopes alive

Turin, Apr 23 (IANS): Napoli defeated Juventus 1-0 riding a 90th-minute header by Senegalese central defender Kalidou Koulibaly at the Allianz Stadium here, cutting the deficit to one point against the Serie A leaders and six-time defending champions.

With just four rounds of games to go in the season, it looked like Juventus were going to maintain their four-point advantage over second-placed Napoli on Sunday, as the final whistle came ever closer.

And the match looked like heading for a goalless draw until Koulibaly shrugged off his marker to head home a corner from Jose Callejon, reports Efe. The 1-0 win allowed Napoli to stay in the hunt for their first championship since 1989-90, when they were led to a second title in four seasons by Argentine icon Diego Maradona, while Juventus are bidding for their seventh consecutive league title, reports Efe. The match was a nailbiter, with Napoli almost

Anamika (51kg) and Astha Pahwa (75kg) were assured of medals and remained in the hunt for booking a berth to the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires.

While Anamika defeated Mongolia’s Mungunsaran Balsan, Astha Pahwa got the better of China’s Xiyue Wang. Both the boxers won in unanimous verdicts.

However, world championships gold-medallist Sakshi Choudhary (57kg) and Jony (60kg) bowed out of medal and Olympic berth contention. Sakshi was

notching an early goal when winger Lorenzo Insigne fired a shot that went wide. But the real damage to Juventus was the apparent muscle injury to veteran central defender Giorgio Chiellini which led to his leaving the pitch for the duration a few minutes later.

Juventus got a good chance in the 17th minute on a deflected freekick that goalkeeper Pepe Reina tried to capitalize on but hit the post with.

The best shot of the first half, however, came when Napoli’s Marek Hamsik of Slovakia fired a crossing shot that did not connect.

Meanwhile, a goal

by Napoli’s Insigne just before half-time was ruled offside.

The second half was a tense one, with each side trying for the win, but neither managing to get through their rival’s defense, until Koulibaly headed home his powerful last-minute shot to the immediate euphoria in the stands.

In the last four matches, Massimiliano Allegri-coached Juventus must go up against Inter Milan and Roma, while Napoli, coached by Maurizio Sarri, will have an easier schedule, facing the likes of Fiorentina, Torino, Sampdoria and Crotone.

A heavily-rejigged Daredevils produced a much-improved bowling performance to restrict Kings XI Punjab to 143 for eight but the visitors staged a strong comeback to stop Delhi at 139 for eight.

The hosts were off to a brisk start with the highly-talented Prithvi Shaw eking out a few boundaries, including one fine shot through point.

But the youngster lost his wicket to pacer Ankit Rajpoot, who bowled with fire to return figures of 2/23 in four overs.

Rajpoot followed that up by claiming the big fish – Glenn Maxwell (12), and the Daredevils’ chase seemed to be floundering when skipper Gautam Gambhir (4), looking woefully out of form, got a leading edge to make the long walk back to the dugout.

The home team needed 43 runs in the last four overs and, to everyone’s surprise, it was Rahul Tewatia, who brought the equation down to 28 off 18 after he gleefully smashed Barinder Sran’s overpitched offering straight over the bowler’s head, picking 17 runs in total.

Tye dismissed Tewatia (24 off 21 balls) as Daredevils needed 21 in the last two overs. Plunkett came and went back for a golden duck, leaving Daredevils with an arduous task of scoring 17 in six balls. Delhi failed to do so despite Iyer whacking Mujeeb for a straight six and a four.

Earlier, a disciplined bowling effort by Delhi restricted Punjab to 143/8.

The visitors received the early blow when Avesh dismissed opener Aaron Finch (2) in the second over.

Mayank Agarwal and opener Lokesh Rahul (23) then showed some resistance, putting a 36-run partnership for the second wicket to take Punjab to 42 runs.

However, Plunkett struck in the fifth over to put an end to Rahul’s innings.

Agarwal (21) was the

next to depart as in-form Plunkett struck again in the eighth over, which left Punjab reeling at 60/3.

After adding 15 more runs to the total, Avesh sent back veteran batsman Yuvraj Singh (14). Yuvraj’s fall brought Karun Nair in the middle, who showed a little fight against the hosts and slammed 34 runs to take his team past the 100-run mark

Marquez wins sixth consecutive Moto GP

(L-R) Maverick Vinales, Marc Marquez and Andrea Iannone celebrate their wins in the Grand Pix of the Americas in Austin, Texas.

Austin, Apr 23 (IANS): Spain’s Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda RC 213V) won his sixth consecutive Motorcycle Grand Prix of the Americas here.

Despite a penalty that cost him three positions at the start of the race on Sunday, he sped forward, slipping by Maverick Viñales (Yamaha YZR M1) and France’s Johann Zarco (Yamaha YZR M1), reports Efe.

Italy’s Andrea Iannone (Suzuki GSX RR) maintained the lead for all of half a lap, when Marquez passed him, avoiding yet another penalty.

It took 12 curves for the Spaniard to take the lead, followed by Iannone, Viñales and Britain’s Cal Crutchlow (Honda RC 213V), with Italy’s Valentino Rossi (Yamaha YZR M1) in fifth place.

During the seventh

before falling in the 17th over to Plunkett.

Delhi’s Daniel Christian also joined the party and dismissed David Miller (26) with Punjab’s scorecard reading 127/6. Meagre contributions by Punjab skipper Ravichandran Ashwin (6 runs off 7 balls), Andrew Tye (3) and with the help of 14 extra runs, Punjab managed to put 143.

lap, Viñales managed to pass Iannone, albeit still four seconds behind Repsol Honda’s Marquez.

A lap later, Crutchlow fell off his bike on the curve before the final stretch, causing him to finish 19th, while Malaysia’s Hafizh Syahrin (Yamaha YZR M1) had to drop out mostly unharmed, as did Alex Rins, who fell on curve 12.

During the cooldown lap, Marquez -- who came in first, trailed by his countryman Viñales, with Andrea Iannone a close third and Italy’s Rossi in fourth -- paid tribute to the late American rider Nicky Hayden (1981-2017) by displaying an American flag with the number 69.

Marquez - the twotime defending world champion - maintained his record at the Grand Prix of the Americas, the third race of the 2018 MotoGP season. The Spaniard has been first to the checkered flag at every Austin race since its inception in 2013.

Halep stays atop WTA rankings M ad r i d, A p r 2 3 (IANS): Romania’s Simona Halep continued to lead the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) singles rankings released on Monday with 8,140 points, followed by Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki.

This week’s ranking list brought no changes to the top 10, as Spaniard Garbiñe Muguruza came in third, ahead of fourth-placed Elina Svitolina of Ukraine and fifth-placed Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia.

United States’ Venus Williams and Sloane Stephens remained in the eighth and ninth places, respectively.

Meanwhile, Germany’s Alexander Zverev jumped to the third spot with 5,195 points while Spain’s Rafael Nadal maintained his number one spot in the men’s Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) world singles rankings.

Switzerland’s Roger Federer remained in the second place.

US into Fed Cup final AIX-EN-PROVENCE, Apr 23 (Agencies): Madison Keys battled past Pauline Par mentier of France 7-6(4) 6-4 to lead the U.S. into their second consecutive Fed Cup final in Aix-en-Provence on Sunday.

Keys, who was named as a late replacement for CoCo Vandeweghe, rallied back from 4-1 down to claim the opening set before a decisive break in the ninth game of the second ensured the victory.

Keys’ victory handed the defending champions an unassailable 3-1 lead over France in the semi-final tie before the hosts won the dead doubles rubber.

The French pair of Amandine Hesse and Kristina Mladenovic edged Vandeweghe and Bethanie Mattek-Sands 6-4 3-6 10-6.

Earlier in the day, Sloane Stephens thrashed Mladenovic 6-2 6-0 to collect her second singles victory this weekend.

Stephens was aided by 25 unforced errors from world number 20 Mladenovic, whose touch eluded her far too often in the match. “That was a really good one. You never anticipate a scoreline like the way it turned out but it was really solid,” Stephens said.

The Americans extended their winning record to 12-2 against the French.

Salah crowned PFA Player of the Year LO N D O N, A p r 2 3 (Agencies): Mohamed Salah was crowned the Premier League’s Players’ Player of the Year on Sunday, with his incredible 41-goal debut season at Liverpool beating out strong competition from Manchester City’s Kevin de Bruyne.

“It’s a big honour. I’ve worked hard and I’m very happy to win it,” Salah said at the ceremony on Sunday evening.

Salah matched a Premier League record tally for a single season by scoring his 31st league goal of the campaign in a 2-2 draw at West Brom on Saturday.

“You’re comparing your name with some great names,” he said, on the prospect of breaking the record. “To break the Premier League record is something huge in England and all over in the world. There are still three games to go. I want to break this record.”

Salah has also netted seven times in eight Champions League games, including in both legs of Liverpool’s 5-1 quarterfinal thrashing of City, to carry his side to a first semi-final for a decade.

De Bruyne showed why he had been many people’s early-season fa-

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah with the PFA Player of the Year trophy at the awards ceremony on Sunday night.

vourite for the prize with an incredible long-range strike for his 12th goal of the season to go with a league-high number of assists as champions City thrashed Swansea 5-0 on Sunday. “ F r o m my p o i n t of view when you are analysing 10 months, there is no player better than him,” said City manager Pep Guardiola of the Belgian midfielder.

“Maybe there are numbers better but for me he was the best. But it is

my opinion, the opinions of the players could be different. But in the end, in summer time he will be at home being champion.”

City did pick up a prize from the PFA gala in central London on Sunday, though, as Leroy Sane won the Young Player of the Year. Sane, another City team-mate David Silva, De Bruyne, Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea and Tottenham striker Harry Kane were the other five nominees for the main prize.

Atletico held to draw by Real Betis M ad r i d , A p r 2 3 (Agencies): Saul Niguez was denied by the crossbar as second-placed Atletico Madrid were held to a 0-0 La Liga draw by Real Betis.

Saul rattled the woodwork with a 74th-minute strike on a day when it was the visitors who created the better chances but ultimately left frustrated by poor finishing.

In a scrappy first half, it was Europa League semi-finalists Atletico who created the better openings, with Fernando Torres seeing an early header saved by keeper Dani Gimenez, who later limped off to be replaced by Pedro Lopez.

Torres headed just wide four minutes before the break and Ryad Boudebouz called upon keeper Jan Oblak at the other end before Javi Garcia fired wastefully wide in stoppage time.

Garcia passed up a glorious opportunity to put the visitors ahead nine minutes into the second

half when he completely missed his kick after being picked out unmarked by Boudebouz, and Cristian Tello clipped the outside of a post with 21 minutes remaining.

However, Atletico midfielder Saul came within inches of breaking the deadlock when he crashed a 74th-minute shot against the crossbar with Lopez beaten.

Oblak produced an

instinctive near-post save to keep out Antonio Barragan’s effort from a tight angle seven minutes from time, but the deadlock remained unbroken.

Meanwhile, El Haddadi Munir struck twice as Alaves ended Las Palmas’ stay in the top flight with a 4-0 victory in Gran Canaria.

Munir headed the visitors into a 51st-minute lead and then added a second

with 17 minutes remaining to end his side’s fears of being dragged into a relegation fight and push the hosts through the trapdoor.

Substitute Alvaro Medran helped himself to a third with a diving header six minutes later and Ruben Sobrino made it 4-0 in stoppage time amid driving rain to complete a miserable evening for Las Palmas.

SA announce Man City thrash Swansea 5-0; close in on points record bumper summer

L ondon, A p r 2 3 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : M a n chester City moved closer to breaking Chelsea’s all-time Premier League points record with a 5-0 victory over Swansea City on Super Sunday.

Pep Guardiola’s champions now only need six points from their remaining four matches to surpass Chelsea’s 95-point haul after goals from David Silva, Raheem Sterling, Kevin De Bryune, Bernardo Silva and Gabriel Jesus sent them to a classy victory.

Guardiola’s men recorded 83% possession and completed 942 passes from 1,015 attempted over the course of 90 minutes; both of which are the most by any side in a Premier League game since 2003/04.

Man City could also become the first top-flight team to register 100 points in a season if they take 10 points between now and the end of the campaign.

This five-goal haul took them to 98 goals for the Premier League season

Manchester City players are given a guard of honour by Swansea and the match officials as they emerge from the tunnel.

- the record, set by Chelsea in 2009/10, is 103. Swansea remain four points above the Premier League drop zone and still have both Stoke and Southampton to play.

Swansea welcomed the new champions onto the pitch with a guard of honour and that was about as close as they got to Guardiola’s side. The hosts took

the lead on 12 minutes.

Sterling made a clever break in behind the static Swansea defence and flicked a clever reverse pass to David Silva, who thrashed a low effort into the far corner - his 10th goal of another amazing season for him.

Silva then turned provider five minutes later, threading through Fabian

Delph down the left wing and he had the simple task of squaring the ball across goal for Sterling to tap home.

Swansea rarely ventured out of their own half as Silva, De Bruyne and Sterling ran amok in midfield. By half-time City had enjoyed a remarkable 86% of the ball.

A similar pattern con-

tinued after the break. One slight criticism you can throw at the champions is that they can overplay at times, however, De Bruyne dispelled that notion on 54 minutes with a stunning long-range strike.

Sterling then drew a clumsy foul off Federico Fernandez inside the area and, despite the cries from the crowd for Ederson to take it, Gabriel Jesus stepped up. His effort came back off the post but Bernardo Silva reacted quickest after 64 minutes to slide home the rebound.

It was then party time as Guardiola gave minutes to crowd favourites Yaya Toure and Benjamin Mendy, who was returning from seven months out after a serious knee injury.

There was time for Jesus to get a deserved goal with two minutes remaining when he skillfully headed home a delightful chipped pass from Yaya Toure.

Swansea simply had no answer to the brilliance of Guardiola’s men.
