PREVENTION TIPS

Govt clarifies on STPF demand

Lt Somnath Chatterjee

elected to the Lok Sabha for the first time in 1971 from Burdwan constituency in a by-election as an independent candidate backed by the CPI-M. He made it to the Lok Sabha on a CPI-M ticket from Jadavpur in 1977 and 1980, but lost to Mamata Banerjee -- the present West Bengal Chief Minister and then a youth Congress leader -- in 1984. However, the very next year, he re-entered the Lok Sabha after the party nomi-

nated him as its candidate from Bolpur in a by-election. He retained the seat in 1989, 1991, 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2004. From 1989 till 2004, he served as the Leader of the CPI(M) in Lok Sabha. Chattterjee rose to become a central committee member of the Left party, but was expelled on July 23, 2008, “for seriously compromising the position of the party” as he refused to resign as the Speaker after the CPI-M withdrew its support to the UPA-1 government over the Indo-US Civil Nuclear Deal. Chatter jee’s family on Monday turned down CPI-M leadership’s request to drape the expelled member’s body in a red flag. Born on July 25, 1929 in Tezpur in Assam, Chatterjee studied at the Mitra Institution School, Presidency College and the University of Calcutta.

such as poor workmanship, improper planning, lack of technical expertise, lack of proper supervision by engineers and corruption at the departmental, government and political level must also take into blame. It opined that “unless the ministers, contractors, BRO/GREF/PWD/ Roads and Bridges department take their job seriously and honestly ‘heavy rain or no rain’, Kohima-the state capital, will never see the light of day.” KVYO said it was unacceptable to note that the state capital was at this scale of sorry state where the most important lifelines were not taken on top priority. It said “policy makers either blame lack of funds or divert the funds and ply everyday over uncountable potholes with their luxurious cars, contractors blame daylight robbery and lipstick the roads that lasts

only for few months; and the BRO/GREF blames the Centre or the meagre allotted funds.” If a state capital was in this state of negligence, KVYO wondered what would be the condition in the interior districts of the state. Maintaining that KVYO was still ready to assist the government in whatever possible way, the youth organization said many voluntary social establishments at different locations, including KVYO, within its capacity, aided by machinery support from well wishers and the PWD department carried out temporary repairing of all blocked roads leading to the state’s secretariat besides aiding the traffic personals. KVYO said it had also cleared all its existing inroutes and circular roads under its jurisdiction for all

commuters, thereby lightening the miseries of the denizens to an extent. KVYO said it was compelled to voice out its resentment for the benefit of all the denizens of the district and beyond, after having observed the facts and the working system of the various responsible departments and supplementary bodies. While appreciating the government for running from pillar to post to avail financial assistance from the Centre, KVYO was hopeful that it (funds) truly serves the purpose for which it was granted- the public and affected roads. Meanwhile, KVYO has urged the government to make a concerted effort of all the departments to pool the resources together to mitigate, prevent and contain such manmade disaster in future to save Kohima city.

NEW DELHI, AUG 13 (AGENCIES): Central government and NDPPBJP dispensation in Nagaland have decided to “tread carefully” on the 21-year-old Naga peace talks and therefore while they want early solution, at the same time security forces will continue to remain “proactively prepared for any kind of scenario”, a UNI report stated. It is on this backdrop, sources said, the Army Corps Command at Dimapur (or Rangapahar) will continue to function as usual notwithstanding a recent decision at the military commanders level “to do away with around 20 divisional headquarters”. In total there are seven commands for Indian army and Eastern Command in Kolkata has key corps commands including one each at Dimapur (Rangapahar) in Nagaland and Tezpur

in Assam. There are 40 divisional units headed by a Major General. Sources in the state government said there is an internal move in the Defence ministry in coordination with the Union Home Ministry for ‘restructuring’ the corps commands and divisional work structure to make the force “leaner”. The change is expected to ‘free’ top army officers from deployment in operational areas and the government feels this will save on infrastructure costs as well. The move will also allow quicker decision for army movement at divisional or brigade level. Meanwhile, according to BJP sources, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home headed by Congress leader P Chidambaram has asked the government to expedite the peace process, but has also advised that govern-

ment and security forces to remain prepared “for any kinds of scenario” and suggested that the security forces and intelligence agencies should be kept on alert. The panel also expressed surprise as to why there is “delay” in concluding peace talks with NSCN (I-M) when “all stakeholders” and the government are keen to conclude it. The Standing Committee has also urged the government to prepare a “generous rehabilitation cum scheme” for the Naga militant cadres – “who will surrender as part of the agreement”. The Ministry of Home Affairs, according to sources, is well seized of the matters involved in dealing with the complex problems like aspiration and demands of Kukis of Manipur – who are often seen in ‘competition’ with the Nagas.

Demand for resignation of Gohain grows louder Guwahati, Aug 13 (Agencies): The demand for resignation of Railway Minister for State Rajen Gohain has intensified throughout the state following rape charges on him whereby two women accused him of molestation on the pretext of giving him a job. On Monday, both the Opposition parties- Congress and AIUDF have demanded immediate ouster of rape accused Union Minister of State of Railways Rajen Gohain. Speaking to the media today, General Secretary of Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) Apurba Bhattacharya said that the ouster of Gohain is very important to ensure that a free and fair investigation can be conducted because he might use his influence to disrupt the legal procedure. Congress spokesperson Bhattacharya said, “BJP has always been claiming to be a party with high moral values. If the BJP really believes in morality, then Prime Minister Narendra Modi must make sure that the tainted minister must be removed from his portfolio. A case has been filed and

the law clearly states that in this type of cases, the investigation has to be completed even if the complainant seeks to withdraw the case for some reason.” Bhattachar ya also urged the police to probe into this heinous matter impartially and keep itself away from any political pressure or influence. On the other hand, opposition AIUDF has also echoed on the same notes as Congress demanding an urgent resignation and a transparent investigation into the case. AIUDF Spokesperson Champak Kalita told the media, “What are the circumstances which led the complainant to seek to withdraw the case? What exactly transpired? Things look very suspicious. Let Rajen Gohain come out in open and deny any involvement in the entire episode.” Kalita further mentioned that Nagaon Police should suo moto file a case against Gohain on accounts of Human Trafficking Act after the contents of the audio clip has surfaced which clearly indicates to the immoral activities of Minister Rajen Gohain.

Aizawl, Aug 13 (PTI): The Mizoram election department has conducted revision of voters lists of Bru refugees in theri Tripura camps before the repatriation, despite opposition from the civil societies, officials said Monday. The move came in the wake of the latest instruction from the Election Commission (EC) that directed the state government to conduct revision of electoral rolls in the relief camps of the Bru refugees. Civil society members were not happy with the order and a section of them had prevented several elec-

tion department officer from entering Tripura on August 10 at Zawlnuam village bordering Tripura, but that could not stop the revision, the official said. At a meeting with civil societies and political parties on August 8, Mizoram Home Minister R Lalzirliana had said the state government recently received instructions from the EC to conduct revision of voters’ lists in the relief camps. Its earlier order had said revision would be conducted in Mizoram after completion of the repatriation process. “We have to implement the instructions of the Elec-

tion Commission of India by conducting the electoral roll revisions in the relief camps,” he had said at the meeting. The civil societies and the political parties, however, were not happy with the latest instruction of the EC. The Centre, state governments of Mizoram and Tripura and the Mizoram Bru Displaced People’s Forum (MBDPF), the apex body of the Bru community in the relief camps, have on July 3 signed an agreement for repatriation of all the Bru refugees from Tripura before September 30.

PM Modi, other leaders pay Chargsheet against Kejriwal, 12 AAP MLAs tribute to Somnath Chatterjee New Delhi, Aug 13 (IANS): Nearly six months after the alleged assault on Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash, Delhi Police on Monday named Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, his deputy Manish Sisodia and 11 Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs as accused in its chargesheet. The chargesheet, filed in the Patiala House Court before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Samar Vishal, also names Amanatullah Khan, Prakash Jarwal, Nitin Tyagi, Rituraj Govind, Sanjeev Jha, Ajay Dutt, Rajesh Rishi, Rajesh Gupta, Madan Lal, Parveen Kumar and Dinesh Mohania. “On Febr uar y 20, a case was registered on a complaint of Prakash. After completion of the investigation and upon collection of evidence on record, a chargesheet has been filed in the court,” Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Harinder Singh said. The court will take cognizance of the chargesheet, filed on the basis of investigation conducted on the complaint of Anshu Prakash, on August 25. The accused, charged under 13 sections, may get

(L-R) Arvind Kejriwal and Anshu Prakash (file) a maximum of a seven-year jail term if found guilty. The accused have been charged under IPC sections -- 186 (obstructing a public servant), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 332 (voluntarily causing hurt to deter public servant for doing his duty), 342 (punishment for wrongful confinement) and 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant to discharge his duties). In the chargesheet, the police have charged the accused of insult with intent to provoke breach of peace, criminal intimidation, criminal conspiracy, punishment of abetment and unlawful assembly

among others. Leader of Opposition Vijender Gupta demanded Kejriwal’s and Sisodia’s resignation. “They have lost right to continue in their high offices and govern Delhi,” Gupta said. However, in a joint statement, Delhi cabinet ministers Gopal Rai, Satyendar Jain, Kailash Gahlot, Rajendra Pal Gautam and Imran Hussain called the chargesheet “bogus” and “politically motivated”. Stating that the chargesheet was based on “imaginary and false allegations”, the ministers termed it a “witch-hunt against the Delhi govern-

ment”. “It is the latest example of the central government’s ongoing unprecedented witch-hunt against the Delhi government, elected with the highest-ever mandate in India’s electoral history,” the statement said. The ministers claimed the chargesheet would be torn to shreds when put to legal scrutiny. The Aam Aadmi Party called the case a “midnight conspiracy to defame the Delhi Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister and 11 MLAs in a false and laughable case”. “The AAP is of the clear view that Anshu

Prakash, who has been associated with senior BJP leaders for long, was posted as Chief Secretary of Delhi with a sinister plan to paralyse the elected Delhi Government,” AAP chief spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj said. “The concocted story of Anshu Prakash is a bundle of contradictory, false, misleading and defamatory statements and unnatural conduct,” he added. The Delhi Chief Secretary in February had alleged that he was beaten up by AAP MLAs in the presence of Kejriwal at the Chief Minister’s residence on the night of February 19 where he had been called for a late-night meeting. The case was filed the next morning and Amanatullah Khan and Prakash Jarwal were arrested and sent to judicial custody. Later, they were released on bail. The police in May questioned Kejriwal and Sisodia for nearly three hours. The alleged assault had triggered a bitter tussle between the Ministers and Delhi’s IAS officers, who refused to attend any meetings called by the Ministers for about four months.

Among them, Chirantan Kumar and Manisha Dayal, manager and secretary of the NGO ‘Anumaya’, respectively, were arrested, Station House Officer (SHO) of the Rajiv Nagar police station Rohan Kumar said. The other two accused -- a doctor and an auxiliary

nurse midwife attached to the shelter home -- have been absconding since the deaths were reported, he said. The deaths in the shelter home ‘Aasra’ came close on the heels of the Muzaffarpur shelter home sexual abuse case. Chirantan and Manisha, a former model, were arrested last night and they were being quizzed by a high-level inquiry committee which includes District Magistrate Kumar Ravi and Senior Superintendent of Police Manu Maharaj. Ravi told reporters, “Post-mortem reports of the two inmates rule out the possibility of any external injury. But their viscera has been preserved for further investigations.” The inmates - Poonam (17) and Babli (40) - had

New Delhi, Aug 13 (PTI): A gunshot rang out at Constitution Club in the high security area near Parliament today when an unidentified man targeted JNU student leader Umar Khalid, who escaped unhurt, eyewitnesses said. The attacker dropped the weapon and fled the spot, police and eyewitnesses said. Police sources said they had seized the weapon. As confusion persisted over what had actually happened and how many people were involved, Ajay Chaudhury, joint commissioner of police, New Delhi range, said police was investigating whether shots were fired or not. Giving his version of what had happened, Khalid said he was going back

inside the complex, which also houses the Mavlankar Auditorium and MP quarters on Rafi Marg, after having tea when somebody tried to fire at him. “I was returning after having tea. One person came from behind, pushed me down and tried to fire at me. I ran for my life. He fled from there,” Khalid told reporters. He said he could not see the face of the attacker. “I do not know whether it was handiwork of some group and if others accompanied the attacker. It’s ironic that it happened as I have come to participate in an even against mob lynching. “There is an atmoReg.No.349/2018

Ensuring the best deal

t is quite baffling that despite completion of construction of Nagaland House at Navi Mumbai in 2010, the massive four-storey complex looks like a haunted place due and that consequence of neglect is also beginning to show so long the state does not obtain clearance from the crucial Coastal Regulation Zone(CRZ). Prior CRZ clearance is mandatory even at the time of applying for a commencement certificate. As per the information from the MCZMA, the NMMC had given a commencement certificate for Nagaland state guest house to come up at Vashi in November 2007. The City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) granted a completion certificate to the project in January 2013. The Nagaland House is awaiting an occupation certificate. The Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA) found out that the construction was carried out without the government of Nagaland obtaining CRZ clearance. The MCZMA appraised the project for a CRZ clearance and noted the violation, eight years after the construction started and after the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) granted the project a commencement certificate. That is quite surprising since all these requirements ought to have been known by the state government, the technical team and the consultants. The Nagaland House, spread over a 3,491.11 square metres, falls in CRZ-2, within 150 metres from the high-tide line of the creek on the seaward side of the existing road. The construction involves a four-storey building that includes an auditorium, a two-storey staff-quarters, and a ground structure that would be a utility building. It has a Floor Space Index of 1. The deputy chief minister Yanthungo Patton, who had visited the complex at Navi Mumbai on August 9 had claimed that the CRZ issue has been settled with the appropriate authorities and that process of occupation will begin shortly. The question before the state government is on how or who will run the complex? Whatever be the ultimate decision of the state government, especially the home department, with regard to running/renting/leasing out the Nagaland House at Navi Mumbai; it is hoped that the process will be transparent and in the best interest of the state. Nagaland state has been a fortunate recipient of prime plots located at various state capitals as well as the national capital New Delhi. These state guest houses have served the state well in providing needed, while the state government mulls over how to utilise the Navi Mumbai guest house, it would also be pertinent to remember the saga of treachery and betrayal that has caused the loss of more than half the portion of Nagaland House Kolkata( located at Shakespeare Sarani). The loss still causes much sadness and resentment because Naga politicians and officials had mortgaged the commercial plot to the contractor for a song. It is not difficult to speculate on the reason behind handing over the most prime plot on lease agreement on a platter to the contractor. The Navi Mumbai state guest house is also being eyed by some vested interested persons who want to give a pittance to the state while earning a colossal amount by sub-letting the complex. In places like Kolkata or Mumbai, giving lease for property will lead to serious consequences as per the existing tenancy laws. It is for the enlightened public to question the government over such issues as people have lost trust on their leaders and the government system.

DailyDevotion “Do Not Quench the Spirit”

Do not quench the Spirit. —1 Thessalonians 5:19 The voice of the Spirit of God is as gentle as a summer breeze— so gentle that unless you are living in complete fellowship and oneness with God, you will never hear it. The sense of warning and restraint that the Spirit gives comes to us in the most amazingly gentle ways. And if you are not sensitive enough to detect His voice, you will quench it, and your spiritual life will be impaired. This sense of restraint will always come as a “still small voice” (1 Kings 19:12), so faint that no one except a saint of God will notice it. Beware if in sharing your personal testimony you continually have to look back, saying, “Once, a number of years ago, I was saved.” If you have put your “hand to the plow” and are walking in the light, there is no “looking back”— the past is instilled into the present wonder of fellowship and oneness with God (Luke 9:62 ; also see 1 John 1:6-7). If you get out of the light, you become a sentimental Christian, and live only on your memories, and your testimony will have a hard metallic ring to it. Beware of trying to cover up your present refusal to “walk in the light” by recalling your past experiences when you did “walk in the light” (1 John 1:7). When-ever the Spirit gives you that sense of restraint, call a halt and make things right, or else you will go on quenching and grieving Him without even knowing it. Suppose God brings you to a crisis and you almost endure it, but not completely. He will engineer the crisis again, but this time some of the intensity will be lost. You will have less discernment and more humiliation at having disobeyed. If you continue to grieve His Spirit, there will come a time when that crisis cannot be repeated, because you have totally quenched Him. But if you will go on through the crisis, your life will become a hymn of praise to God. Never become attached to anything that continues to hurt God. For you to be free of it, God must be allowed to hurt whatever it may be.

Brig. (Retd) S. Singnya, Kedahge, FGN My beloved countrymen and women, The Federal Government of Nagaland greets all Naga citizens on this historic occasion of the 72nd Independence Day of our Nation. We are grateful to our Almighty God for His continued protection and guidance. I pray that the same spirit of Nationalism that led and guided our pioneers and forebears will continue to lead us. Today, the Nation celebrates with pride and honour those martyrs who have made the supreme sacrifice for the Cause of the Nation and the lives of the patriots. We continue to hold onto the same belief as those true sons of the soil who in the call of National duty, gave their all believing that one day Nagas without any territorial limit will be free from the yoke of the powers that sought to throttle the voice of freedom and liberty. The historic declaration of Independence of 14th August 1947 and the momentous action of the Plebiscite of 1951 have clearly exhibited our historical and political rights to the world. We regard these twin planks as the foundation pillars of our political movement. Our pioneers coined the slogan “Nagaland for Christ”. The NNC/FGN stands to preserve the long cherished dream of the Na-

President, NNC Parent Body, Z. Royim Yimchungrii It is with great joy I write this message as we stand together to celebrate the 72nd Independence Day. I understand that our journey has been long and our struggle very hostile but the love and affection that each one of our people have bestowed upon us will not go in vain. I reminisce the past when we Nagas stood together for one common cause and goal regardless of the tribal lines, color or creed but with a dream of one free Nagaland, our battle for this dream which has claimed countless lives of our fathers and brothers, so also the many tears shed by our mothers and sisters must not be forgotten for any mere “Utophian” kingdom but rather we should still strive harder and fight for the ultimate identity of our people and land. As we celebrate the 72nd Naga Independence Declaration Day, I extend my greetings to all the citizens of our nation with the message of love and gaiety. We thank our Almighty God for His boundless love, through which we have been able to live as one nation; different lifestyle but the same vision; different mindset but the same goal. A long journey of 72 years as one nation and still strong enough to march forward for many years to come. With the march of time, our nation’s history shall continue to take its own course, which will go to the length and breadth together in a straight path ceaselessly till our goal is achieved and we all have reaped the harvest of what we sowed in the process. So. I call upon our fellow citizens and national workers (especially the leaders) in particular to continue the journey of truth and justice that we have always stood for. Let us not be tempted with the temporal joy but let us continue to be the defender of justice and truth. Nagas were, are and will be free people. We didn’t give in to the expeditions of the British government when they tried to annex Nagaland during

the years 1833 to 1879. Our leaders repealed and foiled the greedy ambitions of their annexation policy. In 1880, free Nagaland agreed to Great Britain to have a military base in a limited area, which was given the name Naga Hill. Nagaland government refused to enter into any agreement or treaty to give up its sovereignty over “Naga Hills”. The civilian and original administration over the people of Naga Hiolls has always been under the control of the Naga National Assembly of 1880 till British India left Nagaland. When the Britisth India Act 1935 came into force, the Naga Hills territory was named as Naga Hills Excluded area in 1937. All these points clearly envisage that Nagaland was never a part of British India at any given time. In pursuance of the above memorandum, the whole Naga areas were left as Naga Hills Excluded area. The British government and the queen of England authorized Robert Raid to map out the excluded areas of the Nagas country which include Chin Hills (under Myanmar) to be known as Queen Land Colony. With the support from the British government, the Naga flag was hoisted on 14th August 1947 at mission compound Kohima with the prayer, “thy Kingdom come to Nagaland.” Acknowledging Christ as the supreme ruler, Nagas embraced the motto “Nagaland for Christ” as our ‘National Motto’. The flag hoisting function was graced by the then Naga Hills district Deputy Commissioner C.R. Pawsey and Rev. Supple. This was acknowledged by U.N.O. in Salt Lake, New York. Such acknowledgement was supported with the plebiscite of 1951 of the Naga History with its unique thumb impressions by 99.9 percent of Nagas support of sovereignty for the Nagas. Despite the desperate cry for sovereignty by the Nagas, the government of India sent a military expedition to Nagaland.

After fighting for a decade, in 1964 a cease-fire agreement was made between the Federal Government of Nagaland and Indian Government. In 1960 under the 16- point agreement, Nagaland was carved out as a part of the Indian state, which was boycotted by NNC. Again, in 1975 various underground organization leaders under the initiative of NBCC signed the fatal Shillong Accord, which is the upshot of NSCN. The accord was condemned by NNC by the Wokha resolution of 1990 under the NNC president Khadao Yanthan and he asked the accordist group to leave the Peace Transit Camp as the campers were receiving rations and salaries from the Government of India, which is against our NNC norms, and it is fatal to our Nation’s history. All the facts mentioned above prove the uniqueness of Naga history. Nagas are not fighting for something that is not ours. For the last 72 years, we have been defending our land and people, sacrificing lives for our birthright. Many attempts have been made to avert the main issue of the Nagas by a certain section of the people and disunite us, but the torch of truth and justice has been kept alive till today by NNC. We are not powerless but powerful because we hold on to the truth. We have hope because no power on earth can tear us apart for we are stronger together and we are united. We will not tremble with fear and doubt because God is on our side. Let us not be afraid but let us be strong in God. Let us not hesitate to give for our Nation needs you and me, and together we will continue to carry the torch of truth and justice of our land. Greed for wealth, lust for power and selfishness, should not mar the future of our Naga people but our utmost sacrifice will lay the foundation for our generations to come. Kuknalim

Dear Naga People, I praise and thank God on this auspicious day of our 72nd Naga Independence Day. As directed to address our people today, I on behalf of the NNC Parent Body greets all the Naga people on this joyous day with prayer and thanksgiving to God Almighty. May our living God bless and strengthen each and everyone of us as we celebrate the Day. We are always thankful to God for the declaration of our Naga Independence by the NNC leaders on 14th of August, 1947 which was one day ahead of India’s declaration. It was a political milestone acknowledged by the United Nations as well. This political right of the Naga people cannot be erased by anybody or any force as it is declared and well known to all the people within the nation and beyond, and both the governments of India and Myanmar as aggressors in particular. Since the genesis of the Naga political movement, the NNC which was the only sole institution has laid down the political foundation for the entire Naga people and its land. And this is the fact of the history. Today, the NNC remembers the Naga martyrs who laid down their lives for freedom and independence for posterity. May our living God bless the noble souls as the Naga people remember their sacrificial deed for freedom. The Naga people have every right to officially be recognized by the two nation (India & Myanmar) who has illegally and forcefully occupied the Naga inhabited free lands knowing fully well about Naga historical and political rights as a people and nation. Also on the part of the Naga people it is very unfortunate for the leaders in the past and present as well, for their act of treason, connivance and compromisation of Naga historical and political rights at the cost of the Naga people. It is because of few self-centered leaders that the Naga people and nation are at stake of losing Naga freedom everytime. The people in the homeland must understand these serious prevailing situation and come forward to stand for the truth for the greater glory and freedom of the Naga people and its land. Today we can clearly see and un-

derstand the report of the interlocutor for the Naga talk submitted to the India Parliamentary Standing Committee and the official papers report mentioned the article 371(A) as a special status for Nagaland to be accorded and the neighboring states in a similar way will be worked out. Quote “The Committee was told that with respect to Nagaland, there is already a special arrangement. Article 371(A) of the constitution makes it very clear that they are special and a special status has been accorded to them. A similar kind of status with some local variation, and some change to the Nagas in the neighboring states can be explored.” (Unquote) therefore, this is the outcome of the negotiation of the present talk of political solution of seven decades old struggle for freedom with blood & tears then the entire people in the homeland will condemned outrightly. And the leaders involved will be held solely responsible, accountable and answerable to the Naga people for treason. Today with a heavy heart I have to mention again the ugly situation that has developed within the NNC set up, as the head succumbed to the conspirators and compromised leaders for self indulgence and self benefits. Meanwhile, forgetting the Naga people, his own oath of allegiance and commitment for Naga historical and political rights for freedom. And this is self-defeating, shameful and a dangerous trend for the Naga people as a whole. Therefore, in the best interest of the Naga people such disloyal and dishonest leader should be condemned by all. I must also say that the Naga freedom movement is not a mere worldly politics but spiritual in nature too as it is our living God’s will and purpose for the Naga people. Therefore, whoever defies the plan and purpose of God especially on the part of the Naga National Political leaders will definitely be punished from above. This was seen in the past and thus it is a serious matter for everyone. Finally, I would say that the only way for the Naga National Political Groups to come, work and negotiate together is to come forward with truthfulness, honesty, humility and with a firm political stand and one voice which will bring the best political solution for the Naga people for good. May God Almighty help and use the Naga people for His Glory. KUKNALIM

(From previous issue) The untiring struggle for demand of self determination is a clear answer to India that Nagas donot want to be under the Indian govt, India must honor the Nagas by accepting her as equally capable as nations of the world.

The father must repent before his son get tired of his actions, annoy, disgust, angry and left his father home forever. India is equally the same and has even goes beyond the line by raping his own son daughter as that fraud rascal hypocrite father, who is trying to make

right to aspire, decide and determine and shape our future and destiny. We do not need the permission of others to live as we desire. So also others do not have the right to interfere in the issues that concern us. The desire of the Nagas to live in peaceful coexistence with our neighbours should not be misconstrued as a sign of weakness. The NNPGs have come together to exhibit to the world that Nagas are one and have a strong desire to remain as one and also because of the realization that without this basic unity it is inconsistent, dishonourable and shameful on the part of the Nagas to talk about our common goal. The NNPGs are having Talks with GoI and the FGN as a part and parcel of the NNPGs is participating in the Talks with the hope that GoI of India also has the desire to solve the long Indo-Naga political issue sincerely. I congratulate all those who have stood resolute and steadfast. My special salute goes to the recipients of the awards and commendations for your dedication and sacrifice. Let us rededicate and commit ourselves today to what we all hold dear till we attain our rightful place among the Nations of the world. God Bless You. Kuknalim

Envisioning United States of India hatred, disunity, violence, torture in their own country. India is not different than her firangi master, stepping into his master shoes forgetting what freedom means of what she herself gone through. India can find solution only if she truly open her eyes and ear to see and listen to the voice of the people, only if she inculcates the character of honoring other rather than forcing other to honor her. It can be possible if she stretches her arms wide towards forming the union of the states, the union of the Nations. A system of joint family is what India needs

The Federal Government of Nagaland stands firm and resolute on the “historical and political rights of the Nagas.” Our stand has always been for a sovereign Nation having the complete freedom to determine our own destiny, a cause for which thousands of lives have been sacrificed. Our land was without our consent or knowledge divided and fragmented and our Nationalist Movement was demean to that of a secessionist movement and an insurgency; obsolete Draconian laws like Disturbed Area Act under the Armed Forces Special Powers Act of 1958 is continued to be imposed in the Naga inhabited areas to suppress and throttle the cry for freedom, under the protection of which the Indian army continues to perpetrate inhuman atrocities on our people. India uses divisive policies and its might and power to suppress and forcefully occupy a small neighbouring nation, quite contrary to what is expected from the largest democracy in the world. Nagas have always sought to live in harmony with our neighbours. We have never tried to interfere in the issues of our neighbours or attempted to impose our will on others.

16 killed in Himachal rains; hundreds stranded BJP pushes for simultaneous polls S h i m l a , Au g 1 3 (IANS): Heavy rains in Himachal Pradesh claimed 16 lives, including four of a family, while hundreds of people were stranded across the state after incessant rains triggered landslides, snapping road links, officials said on Monday. A government advisory advised people to avoid travel as the weather officials warned of heavy rains in the state till Tuesday and thereafter on August 16 and 17. Four members of a family were killed in a landslide in Kandaghat subdivision in Solan district. A boy was washed away in the swollen Kaushalya river near Parwanoo in the district. A total of eight persons lost their lives in rain-related incidents in the district. Landslides led to the death of three persons in Mandi district, while road traffic was disrupted for hours on the ChandigarhShimla, Shimla-Nahan, Chamba-Pathankot and Mandi-Pathankot highways. Additional Chief Secretary Manisha Nanda said that 923 roads were closed due to landslides, including

six National Highways, and that men and machinery had been pressed into service to open these roads to traffic as soon as possible. Presiding over a review meeting here on the damage caused by rains, Chief Secretary Vineet Chawdhry said the state had released Rs 96.50 crore for relief and rescue operations. As a precautionary measure, all schools and educational institutes in the state will remain closed on Tuesday too.

The water level in the Beas river rose dramatically, touching the ChandigarhManali National Highway 21 near the Hanogi temple. Traffic on the stretch was suspended owing to the development. All trains on the Kalka-Shimla route were cancelled due to landslips on the tracks. After heavy overnight rains, most roads in Himachal interiors remained closed to traffic on Monday, leaving hundreds of commuters stranded. Vehicular movement

in Kinnaur district was suspended due to landslides at several places on the Hindustan-Tibet Road. An official said traffic in higher reaches of Kinnaur, Shimla, Chamba, Mandi, Kullu and Sirmaur districts was the worst affected and efforts were on to restore it. According to the Met office here, moderate to heavy rains have occurred in most parts of the state since Sunday. Extremely heavy rainfall occurred at isolated places in Solan, Mandi, Sir-

maur, Kangra and Hamirpur districts. Heavy to very heavy rainfall occurred at a few places in Shimla, Kullu, Una, Bilaspur and Chamba districts, a statement by the meteorological office said. Sujanpur Tira town in Hamirpur district recorded the highest rainfall in the state at 307 mm, while it was 300 mm in Arki town in Solan district and 239 mm in Paonta Sahib in Sirmaur district. Baijnath town in Kangra district recorded 235 mm in the past 24 hours, while Palampur town recorded 212 mm. It was 142 mm in Dharamsala town, 117 mm in Kasauli, 129 mm in Solan town and 72 mm in Dalhousie. State capital Shimla recorded 172 mm rainfall within 24 hours in this month - the highest precipitation since 2011, a meteorological official said. Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) authorities released excess water from the Pandoh dam into the Beas river as heavy rain abnormally increased the water level in the reservoir, the official said.

(From p-1) BJP sources, however, maintained no concrete proposal is there for deferring and advancing of state polls and the idea has not been discussed formally within the party, as constitutional validity of any such step would need to be taken into account. With the tenure of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh assemblies expiring in January next year, a party leader indicated that a brief spell of governor’s rule may be explored for these BJP-ruled states so that assembly elections there could be held with the Lok Sabha polls early next year. He, however, clarified that no concrete proposal has been formulated so far. The tenure of the assembly in the Congressruled Mizoram is also ending in December this year. Former Lok Sabha secretary general and constitutional expert P D T Acharya, however, questioned the legal validity of imposing the governor’s rule in states where assembly elections are due before the Lok Sabha polls. The governor’s rule

can be imposed only in case of constitutional breakdown, he said. The Lok Sabha elections, which were last held in April-May 2014, are as such expected to be held early next year along with assembly polls in Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Telangana. Some states such as Haryana, Jharkhand and Maharashtra -- all under the BJP’s rule -- are scheduled for assembly polls later in 2019 and the idea being floated is to advance the elections there to hold them along with the parliamentary election. Another state where talks of advancing assembly elections are doing the rounds is Bihar, where the election is due in 2020end. Earlier in the day, BJP president Amit Shah wrote to the Law Commission supporting holding Lok Sabha and assembly polls simultaneously. He dubbed the opposition to simultaneous polls politically motivated, and asserted that it will curb expenditure and ensure the nation is not in “election mode” throughout the year. Shah said the BJP is

committed to this idea and explicitly believes that in a progressive democracy like India elections should be held at a fixed time and for a fixed tenure so that people’s representatives can carry out their duties effectively. Shah’s letter to the law panel was handed over by a BJP delegation which met the commission’s top brass this afternoon. Holding simultaneous polls is not merely a principle and it was also successfully practised between 1952 and 1967, he said, adding that several institutions, including the Election Commission, Law Commission and parliamentary committee, have supported it since then. Several opposition parties including the Congress has been opposing the idea of holding simultaneous polls, calling such a step against democratic practices. Political observers believe that the BJP is pitching for holding Lok Sabha and state elections together to tackle the antiincumbency factor and for maximising the appeal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during campaigns.

Accordingly, commissioner & secretary said he has been given the charge of ADC Shamator as per the standard practice. With regard to SDO (C) Chessore, the commissioner & secretary said that due to the inability of the officer posted earlier to join, Samuel SDO (C) Tuli was posted as SDO (C) Chessore. Expressing regret that for some time officers posted to the respective locations could not join, the commissioner & secretary, however, confirmed that ADC Shamator has taken over charge. In this regard, commissioner & secretary appealed to the people of Shamator to extend all possible

support and cooperation to the administrative officers and work together towards the development of Shamator. STPF grateful to state govt. Shamator Town Public Forum (STPF) has expressed gratitude to the state chief secretary and commissioner & secretary (P&AR) for acknowledging the grievances regarding non-posting of administrative officers at Shamator Hq. In a press release, STPF president, S Toji, and general secretary, Z Kiumusu, said they have also learnt that L Lankosen was among the senior-most SDO (Civil) who was under the zone of consideration for promotion as ADC and promotion orders were likely to be issued soon. In this regard, STP has assured to extend all possible support and cooperation to the Administrative officer and work together towards the development of Shamator in the larger interest of all.

Chennai, Aug 13 (IANS): Six days after the death of M. Karunanidhi, his elder son and former Union Minister M.K. Alagiri on Monday asserted that “true loyalists” of his late father were with him and that his brother M.K. Stalin was a poor leader. Paying homage to Karunanidhi at his memorial at the Marina Beach here, Alagiri, who was expelled from the DMK in 2014 for criticizing party leaders, told reporters that he had poured his anguish about the party to his father. He said his anguish was about the party and not about the family and the public would come to know the whole story at the appropriate time. Alagiri declined to comment about the DMK’s Executive Committee meeting to be held here on Tuesday, stating that he was no more in the party. Alagiri aspired to succeed to the DMK’s top post but Karunanidhi, the DMK President until his death, picked his other son Stalin to lead the party and designated him the Working President. Once considered a strongman from Madurai, Alagiri told CNN News18 that he was the right person to head the DMK and alleged that Stalin was the “Working President” of the party but was not working. Alagiri added that he was not happy with the way the party was being run. On being asked if there would be a split in the DMK, Alagiri replied how could he split the party when he was not in it in the first place. Asked if he would do better than Stalin if given an opportunity, Alagiri told CNN: “Definitely, that is what the cadres also want.” Analysts, however, said that Stalin may not re-admit Alagiri into the party as it would result in a needless power struggle. “Re-admitting Alagiri will lead to a power struggle resulting in huge damage for the party. So the DMK will not take back Alagiri,” Raveendharan Dhuraiswamy told IANS.

New Delhi, Aug 13 (IANS): The AAP government on Monday sought a clarification from the Centre following a report published in a Chinese daily claiming that a company there has been given the licence to print Indian currency. Aam Aadmi Par ty (AAP) national spokesperson Raghav Chadha termed the revelation as a “big threat to India’s national security” and “financial sovereignty” and asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi why this information was not available in the public domain. “What were the reasons behind approaching a foreign firm instead of assigning someone domestically? Was India approached by China, and did we succumb to pressure from them in their bid to increase their global influence?” Chadha asked.

(From p-1) Delivering welcome address, commissioner & secretary, Abhishek Singh, said that the CM dashboard has been customised as per the requirements by including not only the flagship programmes of the Centre but also the state schemes, projects and programmes that were relevant to the state.

industries are likely to increase in the upcoming appraisal cycle and 55 per cent recruiters said average increase in pay will be 10 per cent or higher. Almost every 4 in 10 recruiters agreed that the top performers will get an increment between 10 to 20 per cent, while 15 per cent of the recruiters confirmed that the rate of increment will be up to 20 per cent or higher, the survey noted. Notably, more than half the recruiters mentioned that talent crunch is a concern for IT, Operations Sales and Marketing, the fields in which greater hiring is expected. While there is optimism in terms of job creation and growth, there also exists concern among recruiters about the availability of the right talent for new jobs. 50 per cent of the recruiters highlighted that talent crunch will intensify in the coming six months. Naukri Hiring Outlook is a semi-annual survey conducted among recruiters and recruitment consultants aimed at gauging hiring trends across companies and industries. Over 1,500 recruiters and consultants representing more than 15 major industries participated in this edition of the survey.

petrol sales was up almost 15 per cent while diesel showed a flatish growth. While Rs 3.8 a litre hike in petrol and Rs 3.38 in diesel propelled rates to hit an all-time high of Rs 78.43 a litre and Rs 69.31, respectively, on May 29 in Delhi, prices cooled off in subsequent months. Petrol price was down to Rs 76.31 by the end of July and diesel to Rs 67.82. The drop in rates was one of the factors fuelling rise in consumption. Rates have since gone up marginally. Petrol costs Rs 77.23 a litre and diesel Rs 68.77. During July, jet fuel or ATF sale was up 12.7 per cent at 6,72,000 tonne.

New Delhi, Aug 13 (PTI): Gold prices softened by Rs 40 to Rs 30,660 per 10 grams at the bullion market Monday, tracking a weak trend overseas amid easing demand from the local jewellers. However, silver advanced by Rs 50 to Rs 39,050 per kg due to increased offtake by industrial units. Traders said, a weak trend overseas was observed as the US dollar climbed to a 13-month high against major peers amid financial crisis in Turkey, which mainly influenced the sentiment here. Globally, gold fell 0.57 per cent to USD 1,204.30 an ounce and silver by 0.56 per cent to USD 15.19 an ounce in Singapore.

New Delhi, Aug 13 (PTI): India’s fuel demand rose 7.3 per cent in July, driven by sharp rise in petrol and diesel consumption. Fuel consumption in July totalled 17.05 million tonnes as compared to 15.88 million tonnes in the same month last year, data from the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) of the oil ministry showed. The rise comes on back of a 8.6 percent growth in June when demand totalled 17.99 million tonnes.

Mumbai, Aug 13 (PTI): The rupee Monday crashed by a mammoth 110 paise its biggest single-day fall in five years - to end at a lifetime low of 69.93 as the US dollar gained rapid strength amid fears that economic crisis in Turkey could spread to other global economies. Panic and capitulation overshadowed trading mood as traders and speculators saw no signs that monetary authorities would step into the foreign exchange market to support the domestic unit. This is the biggest single day fall for the rupee in the past five years. Previously, the rupee had dropped 2.4 per cent or 148 paise in a single day in August 2013. The rupee also ended lower against British pound, euro and Japanse yen. The rupee was mainly impacted by fall in Turkish Lira,” said a treasurer of a state-owned bank. The Turkish lira dived almost 8 per cent today to a low of 7.24 against the US dollar, fuelling fears that it may impact financial institutions in Europe. Later, it recovered some ground after the finance ministry assured steps to rein in the crisis. The dollar index was trading higher at 96.18.

Sharp decline in retail inflation to 4.17 per cent, closer to RBI’s 4 per cent inflation target will give lot of comfort to monetary authorities and we expect RBI to stay in pause mode in rest of FY19.” Milk and its products, meat and fish showed inflation easing during the month. However for eggs, cereals and products as also oil and fats the rate of price rise was higher than in June. If the recent depreciation of the Indian rupee sustains, it may modestly feed into the CPI inflation over the near term, said Aditi Nayar, Principal Economist, ICRA.

banks will require the bulk of the amount and most of the capital is likely to be used for meeting minimum capital requirements and absorbing non-performing loans provisions, around three quarters of which are in the form of CET1, the report said. Fitch Ratings said the government is likely to be forced into providing most of the required capital, since capital raising remain challenging due to stateowned banks’ weak equity valuations. Last October, the government had announced Rs 2.11 lakh crore capital infusion programme for the state-run banks, spread over two fiscals years - 2017-18 and 2018-19. As per the plan, the PSBs were to get Rs 1.35 lakh crore through re-capitalisation bonds, and the balance Rs 58,000 crore through raising of capital from the market. Out of the Rs 1.35 lakh crore, the government has already infused about Rs 71,000 crore through recap bonds in the banks and balance would be done during FY19. The report further said that banks’ credit costs rose sharply following regulatory changes aimed at accelerating bad-loan recognition.

Mumbai, Aug 13 (PTI): The outlook for the country’s banking sector is likely to remain negative until its capital position strengthens in proportion to the bad loans and weak financial performances, according to Fitch Ratings. The rating agency said the USD 151-billion stock of bad loans remains a risk for the sector’s weak income base, which is vulnerable to ageing provisions and slower non-performing loans (NPLs) resolution. “Outlook on the Indian banking sector is likely to remain negative until the banks address their weak core capital positions against mounting bad debt and poor financial performance,” it said in a report Monday. The capital position of state-run banks banks is most at risk, with the core capital ratios of 11 of the 21 public sector banks (PSBs) below the 8 per cent common equity tier 1 (CET1) regulatory minimum that will come into place at the end of FY19, according to the report. The rating agency believes the country’s banks will need USD 40-55 billion in additional capital to meet the Basel-III requirements by 2019. Of this, the state-run

New Delhi, Aug 13 (PTI): Retail inflation fell to 9-month low of 4.17 per cent in July on declining vegetable prices which may prompt the Reserve Bank to pause interest rate hike in its next monetary policy review.

Pak’s new National Assembly begins session No war, no negotiations with Imran Khan and 328 newly-elected members take oath

The maiden session of Pakistan’s 15th Parliament began Monday with the outgoing Speaker administering the oath to 329 newly-elected members.

Islamabad, Aug 13 (PTI): Pakistan’s Prime Minister-in-waiting Imran Khan and 328 newly-elected members of the National Assembly took the oath Monday, setting the stage for the cricketer-turnedpolitician to form the next government, only the second democratic transition of power. The maiden session of the 15th National Assembly, the lower house of Parliament, concluded after outgoing Speaker Ayaz Sadiq administered the oath to the leaders in the 342-member house. The 329 members signed their presence in a register. The National Assembly session was then adjourned till 10 AM, August

15, Geo News reported. President Mamnoon Hussain had summoned the maiden session at 10 AM in parliament house Monday, 19 days after Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party emerged as the single largest in the general elections. Khan and other prominent leaders including Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Shahbaz Sharif, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari and former president Asif Ali Zardari also took oath. The PTI chief shook hands and posed for a photo with Bilawal, who is entering the National Assembly for his maiden term, Dawn

Brotherhood chief handed life term in Egypt retrial

Over 300 killed in Ghazni fight

CAIRO, Aug 13 (PTI): An Egyptian court today sentenced to life in prison the Muslim Brotherhood’s supreme guide, Mohamed Badie, and four other leaders in a retrial on accusations of inciting street violence, their lawyer said. Defence lawyer Abdel Moneim Abdel Maksoud named the others as Mohamed el-Beltagi, Essam el-Erian, Safwat Higazi and El-Husseini Antar. The Brotherhood was designated a terrorist organisation in Egypt in December 2013, after the military ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in July of that year in the wake of mass protests against his rule. “We will appeal the sentences within 60 days,” the lawyer told AFP, adding that four other people were sentenced to jail terms of between 10 and 15 years. The accusations date back to July 2013 when Brotherhood leaders and members marched in Giza, west of Cairo, in protest at Morsi’s ouster.

Kabul, Aug 13 (IANS): Over 300 people, including 100 government troops and 30 civilians, have been killed in the intense fighting between Taliban militants and the security forces in Afghanistan’s Ghazni city, the country’s Defence Minister Tariq Shah Bahrami said on Monday. The militant group started its offensive in the city last Friday. “As of midday today, the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces recaptured control of nearly all parts of Ghazni city and the Taliban militants would be expelled from the city soon,” Bahrami said at a joint press briefing with Interior Minister Wais Ahmad Barmak. He said that up to 100 government security force members, 30 civilians and over 194 Taliban militants were killed during the four-day clashes between security forces and Taliban militants in the city, Xinhua news agency reported. At least 147 militants were injured. The US was supporting the Afghan government forces in conducting airstrikes tageting

reported. The Speaker announced that elections of the new Speaker and his deputy will be held on August 15. The PTI has nominated Asad Qaisar for Speaker, while opposition has named Syed Khurshid Shah of the PPP as the joint opposition candidate for the post. Earlier, the maiden session started with the National Anthem, followed by recitation from the Holy Quran. Khan looked prominent as he sat in the front row of the parliament house close to the chair of the leader of the house, which he is eventually expected to take after formal election as Prime Minister. Strict security mea-

the Taliban. Within the past 24 hours, the Defence Ministry deployed reinforcement in Ghazni city and its adjacent areas. Fresh troops will bring considerable changes in the security situation of the city in the next 24 hours, Bahrami added. Last week, Taliban militants launched a massive attack on Ghazni, 125 km south of Kabul, in a coordinated effort to take back the city. Hundreds of Taliban insurgents stormed important government entities including the National Directorate for Security (Afghanistan’s Intelligence Agency) and the provincial governor’s office. “The Afghan police and Army will soon clear Ghazni city from the Taliban and normalcy and peace will return into the city as soon as possible,” the Interior Minister said. The clashes also blocked a main road connecting Kabul to southern and western provinces and scores of travellers were stranded.

sures have been put in place to avoid any untoward incident during the proceedings and irrelevant persons have been barred from entering the house. The PTI emerged as the single largest party with 116 seats in July 25 elections. Its number increased to 125 after nine independent members joined it and final tally reached 158 after it was allotted 28 out of 60 seats reserved for women and 10 seats reserved for minorities. Party sources said that the list of the Cabinet has not been finalised but there is a general consensus that Shah Mahmood Qureshi will be the new Foreign Minister and Pervez Khattak the new Interior Minister. Asad Umar is expected to get the key post of Finance Minister. Khan is expected to appoint prominent businessman Abdul Razzak Dawood as advisor on finance. Dawood served in the Cabinet of former military dictator Pervez Musharraf. The election of the Prime Minister will be held after election of the new Speaker who will supervise the election of the premier. The PTI has nominated Khan for the top post

Nine killed in Taiwan hospital blaze Taipei, Aug 13 (IANS): Nine people were killed and 16 injured as fire engulfed a hospital in Taiwan’s New Taipei City on Monday, officials said. The incident took place on the seventh floor of the Weifu hospital, in Xinzhuang district, where over 200 firemen evacuated dozens of patients, but at least nine of them were dead before reaching other hospitals, Efe reported. Some witnesses said they heard the sound of an explosion before the start of the fire. A statement from the Office of Disaster Prevention of the Taiwanese Ministry of Health and Welfare said that 33 patients, two employees and a nurse were rescued. The fire started in a building of the Weifu Hospital and 76 rescue vehicles and some 276 firefighters were deployed to the scene to control the fire, which was extinguished within an hour.

and he is scheduled to take oath on August 18 at the President House. The combined opposition has nominated Shehbaz Sharif against Khan. The new government faces a strong opposition as the PML-N has a final tally of 82 seats, followed by the PPP with 53 and Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) 15 seats. The three have joined hands and formed the combined opposition. The PTI has the support of smaller parties including Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) with seven seats, Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) five, Balochistan National Party (BNP) four, Pakistan Muslim League (PML) three, Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA) three, Awami Muslim League and Jamori Watan Party one seat each. This will be the third consecutive democratic government in Pakistan since 2008 when military ruler Musharraf announced general elections after serving as president from 2001 to 2008 following a coup in 1999. The PPP formed the government in 2008, followed by the PML-N led by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif in 2013.

US, says Iran’s Khamenei

Tehran, Aug 13 (AFP): Iran’s supreme leader Monday said there would be neither war nor negotiations with the United States, and that the country’s problems were the result of government mismanagement more than renewed sanctions. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s comments add to the pressure on President Hassan Rouhani following a collapse in the currency and widespread protests over high prices and corruption. They also appeared to rule out any hope of fresh talks with Washington following US President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the landmark 2015 nuclear deal and reimposition of sanctions last week. “Recently, US officials have been talking blatantly about us. Beside sanctions, they are talking about war and negotiations,” Khamenei said via his official Twitter account in English. “In this regard, let me say a few words to the people: THERE WILL BE NO WAR, NOR WILL WE NEGOTIATE WITH THE U.S.” M e a n w h i l e, t h e r e

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

was a show of resolve as Defence Minister Amir Hatami unveiled a next generation short-range ballistic missile today and vowed to further boost the country’s missile capabilities. State broadcaster IRIB said the new Fateh Mobin missile had “successfully passed its tests” and could strike targets on land and sea. Despite renewed US sanctions, many Iranians - including many at the highest levels of the establishment - see US hostility as only a contributing factor to long-standing problems inside the country. “Today’s livelihood problems do not emerge from outside, they are internal,” Khamenei said in

another tweet. “Not that sanctions don’t have an impact, but the main factor is how we handle them,” he added. That mirrored criticism of Rouhani’s economic management from senior members of the clergy and the Revolutionary Guards. There has been particular concern over the collapse of the rial, which has lost around half its value since April. A f o r t n i g h t a g o, Guards commander Mohammad Ali Jafari told Rouhani to take “revolutionary actions to control prices and prevent the enormous increase in the price of foreign currency and gold,” in an open letter published by the conservative Tasnim news agency. The conservative establishment appears determined to show it is responding firmly to public anger, particularly over corruption. The judiciar y said Sunday it had arrested 67 people under a sweeping corruption crackdown and prevented 100 government employees from leaving the country.

Turkey president calls lira plunge ‘plot’ A N K A R A , Au g 1 3 (IANS): The plunge of Turkish lira is “a plot against Turkey” and the country will seek new partners and markets if the US does not back down on its hostile policy, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday. Talking in a meeting in the Black Sea city of Trabzon, Erdogan said the Recep Tayyip Erdogan current fluctuations in the exchange rate could not be again the currency crash as explained by logic. “I here declare that we have seen your plot and we are challenging it,” Xinhua quoted Erdogan as saying, apparently referring to the US. “There is no economic reason for the present (currency plunge) situation. This a plot to force Turkey to surrender in every fields from finance to politics, to make Turkey and its people to kneel down,” he added. The Turkish president also pointed out that Turkey was considering other markets and political alternatives to its “strategic partnership” with Washington, branding

an “economic war”. “We will respond to those who declared trade war on the entire world and included Turkey in it, by steering towards new alliances, new markets,” he said, raising questions in the future partnership between Ankara and Washington. The President also ruled out using interest rates to shore up the currency which has lost more than 40 percent of its value since

the start of this year, calling them “a tool of exploitation”. Unprecedented punitive sanctions declared by US President Donald Trump’s administration on two Turkish ministers over the detention of an American pastor, as well as doubling tariffs on steel and aluminum, have worsened relations between the NATO allies to their lowest over decades.

Efron took home the first award of the night for best drama movie actor and went on to win awards for Movie Ship with Zendaya and for the song Rewrite the Stars, which is also from the film. Efron dedicated the best actor award to Jackman, saying: “From the bottom of my heart, I couldn’t ask for a cooler, more amazing person to work with. “He’s my best dramatic actor - and a hero, and a mentor, and a good friend. Thank you, Hugh Jackman.”

ith NASA launching a historic Parker Solar Probe deeper into the solar atmosphere than any mission before it, a moot question arises: Why won’t it melt?

emission, but does allow the coronal material to ‘touch’ the spacecraft,” NASA said in a statement. While the Parker Solar Probe will travel through a space with temperatures of several million degrees, the surface of the heat shield that faces the Sun will only get heated to about 1,400 degree Celsius. This is because “in space, the temperature can be thousands of degrees without providing significant heat to a given object or feeling hot. Since space is mostly empty, there are very few particles that can transfer energy to the spacecraft”. The corona through which the Parker Solar Probe flies, for example, has an extremely high temperature but very low density. The probe makes use of a heat shield known as the Thermal Protection System, or TPS, which is eight feet in diameter and 4.5 inches thick. (IANS)

ormer DIO guitarist Doug Aldrich says that Ronnie James Dio would be “pissed” about the fact that a holographic version of the legendary heavy metal singer is being prepped for a world tour. The former vocalist in BLACK SABBATH and RAINBOW, who died in 2010 at the age of 67, is now the subject of a touring show in which his threedimensional representation is backed by members of his band DIO. “I would like to see it myself, just to see it,” Aldrich, who was in DIO between 2002 and 2006, told the “White Line Fever” podcast. “I love hearing those songs, I love Ronnie, so that would be cool. But I think Ronnie would be pissed. I think so. Ronnie would be, like, C’mon, let me be dead in peace!’ Ronnie was a nofrills guy. He was not down for stuff like that.” What’s more, Aldrich says Prince’s former guitarist Wendy Melvoin believes her late boss would feel the same about similar tributes to the purple one. Aldrich takes up the story. “At the Super Bowl, they had a half-time thing with Prince,” he said. “A big curtain came down and there was a projection of Prince. It was, like, 300 feet tall. It was really cool, I thought. “My neighbor is the old guitar players for Prince, Wendy. She had gotten her son a basketball hoop and was trying to assemble it by herself. I hadn’t met her yet. I went over and said, ‘You need a hand, I think,’ and she’s, like, ‘Yeah, yeah. I don’t know how the hell… There’s all these parts.’ We built this hoop for her together, and I said, ‘Oh, by the way, what do you think Prince would think about that?’ She goes, ‘He’d hate it — hate, hate it!’ “But I thought [the Prince projection] was great,

Bayern clinch German Super Cup

Berlin, Aug 13 (IANS): A hat-trick from striker Robert Lewandowski, completed by goals from France’s Kingsley Coman and Spain’s Thiago Alcantara, saw Bayern Munich floor Eintracht Frankfurt 5-0 and clinch the German Super Cup title for the seventh time. Three of the five goals Eintracht conceded and were unable to respond to on Sunday were scored by Lewandowski, who overcame a tough defensive structure that seemed not to spare the Pole and showed much precision in his shots on goal, reports Efe. It was Bayern’s first official match with new coach Croatian Niko Kovac on the bench, who arrived at the Bavarian club after bidding farewell to Frankfurt last season. This was compounded by the thirst for revenge of Bayern, who lost the German Cup final last season to Eintracht, then still under Kovac, who prevented Jupp Heynckes from

show offensive vitality, at least in the early stages. Lewandowski started the scoring in the 21st minute with a header after a pass from Joshua Kimmich with accuracy. Just five minutes later the Pole scored again, this time after a corner from Robben’s left, also with a

Halep wins Montreal Open title Montreal, Aug 13 (Agencies): Simona Halep secured her second Rogers Cup title with a thrilling victory over Sloane Stephens in Montreal. In a repeat of this year’s French Open final, Halep ran out a 7-6 (8-6) 3-6 6-4 winner in a pulsating match. Both players looked on the verge of collapsing with exhaustion as they embraced at the net after a marathon battle lasting two hours and 41 minutes. Hale p broke ser ve in the third game and, although Stephens forced a break point in the next, she could not capitalise. Romanian Halep broke again for 4-1, but amid some fiercely-contested rallies Stephens hit back for 4-4. Halep saved two set points, and two more in the tie-break, before eventually taking the opener after 70 punishing minutes.

Barcelona not ruling out Pogba bid M a d r i d, A u g 1 3 (Agencies): Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has left the door open on a potential move for Manchester United’s Paul Pogba, after saying the club could still do business before the Spanish transfer window closes. Despite being handed the captain’s armband for the opening 2-1 win against Leicester City, Pogba’s comments after the game hinted at tensions at Old Trafford. “If you’re not happy, you cannot give your best,” he said. “There are things that I cannot say otherwise I will get fined.” Asked about Pogba, Bartomeu said, “I won’t speak of any names, we have respect for all clubs and there are 20 days left.” “We’ll see which players come out. We’re focused on the league, so it’s best to ask [Eric] Abidal, [Ramon] Planes or Pep Segura about players. There’s still time to do business.” Andres Iniesta, Paulinho and Andre Gomes have left Barcelona this summer and the Catalan club may have to wait if they are to further strengthen their midfield following the arrivals of Arturo Vidal and Arthur, with Manchester United unlikely to want to part with Pogba during this window. “We are never going to find another Andres Iniesta, that’s impossible because there is only one and he is in Japan,’ said Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde.

it at a yellow. Jonathan de Guzman’s free-kick crashed into the defensive wall of Bayern, who then went off at half-time with a comfortable two-goal lead. Lewandowski returned with a desire to keep on scoring and he did so after nine minutes in the second half, this time after a pass from Thomas Muller and after deceiving Eintracht goalkeeper Frederik Roennow. Next was Bayern’s Coman to join the goal shootout, scoring in the 63rd, after which Kovac let newcomer Leon Goretzka take over from Muller for the first time. Lewandowski was the main protagonist, both for the number of goals scored and for the successive fouls of which he was the victim, which Kovac settled in the 72nd minute, bringing Wagner out to replace the Poland captain. Thiago, after receiving the ball from Kimmich, finished off a clear Bavarian victory for the third time in a row in this annual fixture.

Barcelona lift Spanish Super Cup YRS, NSA officials call on Rio

Barcelona players celebrate with the Spanish Super Cup after beating Sevilla 2-0.

Ta n g i e r , Au g 1 3 (IANS): Ousmane Dembele scored a spectacular 25-yard shot with just over 10 minutes remaining and goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen saved a last minute penalty to give FC Barcelona a 2-1 win over Sevilla in the Spanish Supercup. The game on Sunday night, played in Tangier was the first in an official Spanish tournament to be played in another country and allowed Barcelona to gain confidence ahead of

the new football season against a Sevilla side who made them work for their win, reports Xinhua news agency. French forward Dembele had enjoyed a lively performance before deciding the match with a stunning shot, with just over 10 minutes remaining. But German ter Stegen was also a hero as he saved a last minute penalty from Wissam Ben Yedder after the keeper had harshly been judged to have fouled

Aleix Vidal, who returned to Sevilla from Barcelona over the summer. FC Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde left recent signing Malcom out of his side, thus avoiding any controversy over having more than three players without EU passports in his side, while Phillipe Coutinho was on the bench. With new coach Pablo Machin in charge, Sevilla opened the scoring in the ninth minute when Pablo

Sarabia scored after a swift counter-attack with the referee De Cerro Grande making use of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system for the first time in a Spanish game to ensure the Sevilla midfielder wasn’t offside. Sevilla were compact and well-organised but Barcelona dominated the ball and began to create chances with Messi and Jordi Alba both seeing shots saved by Sevilla keeper Tomas Vaclik, before

Rafael Nadal wins 4th Rogers Cup title

Stefanos Tsitsipas and Rafael Nadal with their trophies after the Rogers Cup final.

TO RO N TO, Au g 1 3 (Agencies): Rafael Nadal held off a late surge from birthday boy Stefanos Tsitsipas to claim his fourth Rogers Cup title in Toronto on Sunday. Nadal overcame a second set fightback from Greek youngster Tsitsipas to claim a 6-2, 7-6 (7/4) victory in just under 1hr 45mins. The win gave the 32year-old Spaniard a recordextending 33rd trophy at the elite Masters level as well as

his 80th title. However, Nadal later raised doubts about he would be chasing an 81st title at next week’s event in Cincinnati, refusing to confirm that he would play the event as scheduled. “Will I play in Cincinnati? I can’t answer to you right now,” Nadal said. Earlier, a vocal crowd of local flag-waving Greek fans sang Happy Birthday to the 20-year-old Tsitsipas as Nadal reflected on a suc-

cessful campaign. “I feel I’ve improved every match, it’s important to win even if you’re not at your best,” Nadal said as he prepares for the US Open later this month. “It’s been almost 10 years (2010) since I last played in Toronto,” Nadal said of the event which comes to the city in evennumber years as it trades with Montreal. “This trophy means a lot.”

The loss concluded the tennis week of his life for Tsitsipas, who beat four Top 10 opponent in a row to reach the final. “It’s been an amazing week for me,” he said. “This trophy means a lot after playing my first Masters 1000 final. Rafa is amazing, he never cracks. He will always grab you like a bulldog and he will always make you suffer on the court.” “He was (once) normal like all of us, and he managed to become this beast, this monster that he is today. That’s how you feel when you play against him.” Nadal added the Canadian honour to the titles he won in 2005, 2008 and 2013. The final featured a plot twist at the end, with Nadal broken while serving for victory leading a set and 5-4. Tsitsipas would not buckle, making it 5-5 as Nadal hit the net, with the set finally going into a tiebreaker. Nadal regained control, earning a match point on a Tsitsipas forehand error. The Spanish world number one concluded victory with a forehand winner deep into the corner. He now owns five titles this season and has clinched the first spot in the year-end finals in London.

defender Clement Lenglet, signed by Barcelona from Sevilla in the summer, headed over. Luis Suarez also fired wide, but Barcelona finally drew level shortly before halftime when Messi’s free kick hit the post and fell kindly for Pique to poke into the empty net. Barcelona brought Ivan Rakitic on for Rafinha for the start of the second half. There were few chances in the game until the hour when the impressive Vaclik saved another free kick, while Fran Vazquez saw a header hit the top of the Barca crossbar following a corner. Dembele had a good chance to put Barcelona ahead with 27 minutes remaining, but Vaclik again denied him. And the new arrival at Sevilla, Vaclik did even better with a double block to deny Suarez and Messi with less than 16 minutes on the clock, although his efforts were in vain as moments later Dembele’s thunderbolt put Barcelona ahead. There was still tie for the penalty drama, but Ben Yedder’s penalty was weak and allowed Ter Stegen to make a save which avoided extra time. It was Barcelona’s record-extending 13th Spanish Supercup title.

his shot across Samba and into the net. At the other end Gianluigi Buffon, making his Ligue 1 debut at the age of 40, was forced into action to keep out Malik Tchokounte’s shot.
