Historic SC ruling on right to privacy
NEW DELHI, AUG 24 (AGENCIES): In a historical ruling, the Supreme Court on Thursday held that the ‘right to privacy’ is protected as an intrinsic part of the right to life and personal liberty under Article 21 and is a part of the fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the constitution. A nine-judge bench comprising Chief Justice J.S. Khehar, J. Chelameswar, S.A. Bobde, R.K. Agrawal, Rohinton Nariman, A.M. Sapre, Sanjay Kishan Kaul, D.Y. Chandrachud and Abdul Nazeer in a 547-page verdict overruled the decisions in the 1954 M.P. Sharma case and 1963 Kharak Singh case. The issue of privacy arose in light of the Centre pushing its agenda of making the Aadhaar card, with biometric, iris and other information, mandatory for availing several services, including for banking transactions and for the filing of income tax returns. A fivejudge constitution bench had referred to the nine judges to adjudicate on this issue. In light of the judgment, the validity of the Aadhaar legislation will be tested by a three-judge
NEET issue: HASSU threatens NH-29 bandh D I M A P U R , AU G 2 4 (NPN): Reiterating its demand for cancellation of the names of three candidates from the merit list of the recently conducted NEET exam, Highway Area Sumi Students’ Union (HASSU) has threatened that state government’s failure to come up with logical conclusion would force the union to impose indefinite bandh within its jurisdiction (NH-29). In a press note, HASSU president, Kughato Achumi, and education & statistical secretary, Nikaho K Kiba, stated that despite repeated appeals, the government was reluctant to cancel the names of the three candidates hailing from Manipur-- R. Jackson Chawang, N Mathiuniung Flory and K Leah. This “clearly depicts the intense corruption and manipulation going on in the concern departments and on the part of state government,” it added.

bench in due course. The landmark decision could affect the Narendra Modi government’s unique identification programme with biometric data. The judgement will have wider implications on the use of Aadhaar, a 12digit unique identification number, by the Union and state governments for the delivery of welfare schemes, and also on how the state
and private entities such as Google and Facebook collect an individual’s personal data. The judgment is also likely to open the floodgates for fresh petitions on Section 377 of Indian Penal Code (IPC) that criminalises homosexuality. “The right to privacy is protected as an intrinsic part of the right to life and personal liberty under Article 21 and as a part of the freedoms guaranteed by Part
RBI to issue `200 notes today
M U M BA I , AU G 2 4 (IANS): The new Rs 200 notes will be in circulation from Friday, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced on Thursday. The Rs 200 denomination banknote in the Mahatma Gandhi (New) series will bear the signature of RBI Governor Urjit R. Patel and will be initially issued by select RBI offices and some banks. It has the motif of the Sanchi Stupa on the reverse while its base colour is bright yellow. The note has other designs and geometric patterns aligning with the overall colour scheme, both at the obverse and reverse. The
move is aimed at increasing the circulation of smaller denomination notes. The RBI said the introduction of new denomination and design is done keeping in mind factors like ease of transactions, replacement of soiled banknotes, inflation and the need to check counterfeiting. Noting that the optimal system of denominations of currency is one that minimises their number “and concurrently increase the probability of proffering exact change”, RBI said that “in the lower end of the denomination series, Rs 200 is the missing one.”
III of the Constitution,” the Supreme Court said. “A law which encroaches upon privacy will have to withstand the touchstone of permissible restrictions on fundamental rights. In the context of Article 21, an invasion of privacy must be justified on the basis of a law which stipulates a procedure which is fair, just and reasonable,” the court ruled on the petition filed by a retired high court judge, KS Puttaswamy, who had challenged the Aadhaar scheme as violative of the right to privacy. The judgment is expected to clear the way for a three-judge constitutional bench that is hearing a clutch of petitions related to the use of Aadhaar -- including alleged contempt by the Union and state governments for violating the court’s ruling on not making Aadhaar mandatory for government schemes -- and the legal tenability of the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and Other Subsidies, Benefits and Services) Act, 2016. The BJP-led NDA government had passed the Aadhaar Act as a Money Bill, which is being legally contested by Congress leaders Jairam Ramesh and P Chi-

dambaram in the Supreme Court. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), which was set up in 2009 by the previous Congress-led UPA government, has issued Aadhaar numbers to 1.17 billion people after collecting their biometric details. The UIDAI was set up without legal backing and later Aadhaar was made mandatory by the NDA government for delivering most welfare benefits. “The Supreme Court has affirmed what the government had said in Parliament (that privacy was a fundamental right but not an absolute right) while moving the Aadhaar Bill. Privacy should be a fundamental right subject to reasonable restrictions,” Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said. However, the government had argued differently before the ninejudge constitutional bench. Prasad skirted questions related to the effect of the judgment on government schemes that were being rolled out on Aadhaar platform and various related issues such as the criminalising of homosexuality and the collection of data by private and government agencies.
ACAUT questions CM, Finance deptt for withholding RTI info D I M A P U R , AU G 2 4 (NPN): ACAUT Nagaland has expressed shock and dismay with the chief minister and Finance department (FD) for failing to furnish details of the additional fund allocation during 201617 and funds released to flagship programmes during 2016-17 even after it had filed an RTI on April 6, 2017. ACAUT through its media cell stated that the Finance department had so far denied the RTI information. When ACAUT team met OSD, Finance department to inquire as to why the RTI information was not being furnished, the media cell said “the OSD very honestly revealed that the RTI was with T.R. Zeliang, then Finance in-charge for review.” In this regard, ACAUT said it had filed a complaint with the Appellate Authority (Finance Commissioner) on June 8, 2017. However, even after one month, the Finance commissioner failed to respond. Once again, ACAUT said that the OSD expressed his helplessness and informed
that “the RTI file was still with T.R. Zeliang, and that there was nothing he could do about it.” ACAUT Nagaland demanded to know from chief minister T.R. Zeliang as to why he was withholding the information? What was there in the FD that he was trying to hide? Was he trying to hide all the double withdrawals? ACAUT has therefore demanded that the chief minister immediately release the RTI information and clear his name. Further, ACAUT also asked the CM and Finance department to furnish the following details-1. Copy of all the drawal authority orders issued by the FD with respect to all the departments w.e.f. 1st April 2016 to March 2017. 2. Additional Funds allotted during 2016-17 with relevant documents-- a. names of the departments, b. name of the project proposals, c. total amount project and department-wise 3. Funds released to flagship programmes during 2016-17—a. name of the department, b. amount of
Central share and c. amount of state share both current and backlog. It also sought copy each of the budget document (2016 and 2017).
Questions R&B deptt
In a separate statement, ACAUT has questioned the Roads & Bridges department for contradicting its claims over funds allocation, Referring to the May 21, 2016 reports published in section of the media, AUCAT said R&B at a press conference had pointed out that one of the factors responsible for the bad road conditions in the state was due to change in funding pattern and due to which the department’s fund for maintenance had come down to just Rs. 40 crore since 2015. However, ACAUT said the Finance department drawal authority had shown that just two months prior to the press statement, R&B-on March 7 and March 16, 2016 had made two drawals of Rs 3242.50 and Rs. 2 crore, totalling to an amount of Rs.52.42 crore for maintenance for roads under various divisions.

followed by Mizoram and Nagaland at 0.80 percent and 0.78 percent. Even though the technical report of the the India HIV Estimations 2015 revealed there is a steady decline from an estimated peak of 0.38 percent in 2001-03 through 0.34 percent in 2007 and 0.28 percent in 2012 to 0.26 percent in 2015. Declining trends in adult HIV prevalence are sustained in all of the high prevalence States which in-

It was revealed that the stable adult HIV prevalence has been noted in States such as Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Mizoram, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. However, rising trends in adult HIV prevalence has been observed in some of the hitherto relatively low
prevalence states and union territories like Assam, Chandigarh, Delhi, Jharkhand, Punjab, Tripura and Uttarakhand.

Meanwhile, in his inaugural address, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Health and Director General, NACO, Sanjeeva Kumar, said that there is a silver lining with regards to HIV in the north east since the civil society in the region is strong. “This part of the country has strong sense of community therefore there is a need to leverage the schemes to get maximum result from the community,” Kumar said.
D I M A P U R , AU G 2 4 (NPN): As a follow-up to suggestions and feedback received online concerning the deteriorating road conditions in the state, the state chief minister, TR Zeliang, on Thursday convened an emergency meeting at his residential office to oversee the status of road maintenance and renovation in the state. According to CMO media cell, the state government was “all revved up” to streamline the working system for infrastructure development, transparency and good governance. In this connection, a seminar was slated to be held during which government departments like PWD (Road & Bridges), National Highway, Nagaland State Disaster Management Agency, National Highways & Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited, Border Roads Organisation etc would high-
light the details of their work, CMO stated. The chief minister has reportedly asked government officials to take up individual responsibility and identify road development works while categorizing them into completed and ongoing projects. CMO said the chief minister announced that “the purpose of organizing the seminar is to bring to the knowledge of the general public, which implementing agency is responsible for which road, and also to identify the number of roads under respective implementing agency during which various civil societies, tribal hohos and NGOs will also be invited.” The chief minister, who officially joined social media platforms on August 21, 2017, said the problem with road connectivity was the one issue mostly raised by the public on social media. He stated that all the
departments concerned with roadways were bound to make their activities public to maintain transparency. Zeliang also appealed to the citizens to be “more positive in their approach while questioning the government”. He stated that the genuine problem faced by the public will be addressed on priority basis. Further, the chief minister directed “all the nodal departments particularly related to road connectivity to fully utilize the available machinery and manpower under their respective department.” Earlier, Zeliang said that the idea of his entry into social media was focussed on good local governance with the motive to set a precedent for a new era of government-citizen engagement and to move the society towards a more transparent and collaborative future.

India, Nepal call for closer security and defence ties
Prime Minister Narendra Modi greets his Nepalese counterpart Sher Bahadur Deuba before their talks in New Delhi on Thursday. (PTI) New Delhi, Aug 24 (PTI): Nepal Thursday assured India that it would not allow any activity against its “friendly neighbour”, as the two sides signed eight pacts, including on cooperation in countering drug trafficking and post-earthquake reconstruction in the Himalayan nation. After comprehensive talks with his Nepalese counterpart Sher Bahadur Deuba, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid emphasis on closer cooperation between the security and defence forces of the two countries in order to avoid misuse of the open border between India and Nepal. “Defence ties and assistance in security is an important aspect of our partnership. Our defence interests are also dependent and connected to each other,” Modi said at a joint press briefing after the talks.
Deuba gave an assurance of “every support, every help and cooperation”. “As you (Modi) mentioned that Nepal has an open border... I would like to assure you that Nepal will never allow any activity against friendly neighbour India and there will be every support, every help and cooperation from our side,” Deuba said. Acknowledging that there were “issues” in the implementation of the Constitution, he expressed confidence that a Constitution “encompassing” the views of the people from all sections and ethnicities would be a reality. Modi, too, exuded confidence that Nepal would take into consideration the aspirations of all its citizens during the implementation of the Constitution. On August 21, the Nepalese parliament failed
to endorse the much-awaited Constitution amendment bill to address the issues of Madhesis as the ruling coalition could not garner the two-thirds majority required for its passage. Deuba said both sides also exchanged views on regional and sub-regional cooperation using BIMSTEC (The Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation) and BBIN (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal Initiative) and create a “win-win” situation in various areas. The Nepalese prime minister said regular engagement at the highest political level would greatly contribute to sustaining and cementing trust between the two countries and his current visit was an effort towards it. The two leaders jointly inaugurated the KataiyaKusaha and Raxaul-Parwanipur cross border power transmission lines. Modi said this would give an additional 100 MW of power to Nepal, apart from the existing 350 MW. The two sides, he added, had also agreed on development of the Ramayana and Buddhist tourism circuits through better connectivity. Flood management and irrigation projects was a point of focus in the talks between the two countries. Modi stressed on greater coordination and consultation between the agencies of India and Nepal on flood management and said the two sides must work towards a long term solution, taking into consideration each others interests.
Jaitley, Javadekar BJP’s poll-incharge for Guj, Karnataka New Delhi, Aug 24 (PTI): Union ministers Arun Jaitley and Prakash Javadekar were Thursday appointed the BJP’s election in-charge for the high-stakes Gujarat and Karnataka assembly polls respectively. BJP chief Amit Shah also appointed four Union ministers -- Narendra Singh Tomar, Nirmala Sitharaman, Jitendra Singh and P P Choudhary -- co-incharge for the Gujarat polls, scheduled to be held later this year, a party statement said. Union minister Piyush Goyal will be co-incharge for the Karnataka polls, slated for early next year, it said. Union minister Thawar Chand Gehlot has been appointed the election in-charge for the Himachal Pradesh assembly polls, also scheduled for later this year. Jaitley and Javadekar have been the party’s in-charge for various state polls in the past. Gehlot is also a veteran organisation man. The last assembly elections in Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat were held in November and December, 2012, respectively. The results were announced on December 20, 2012. The last Karnataka assembly polls were held in May, 2013. The BJP is in a direct contest with the Congress in all the three states. While the saffron party is in power in Gujarat, its bastion for over two decades, the opposition party rules in the other two states. Since it stormed to power at the Centre in 2014, the BJP has edged past the Congress in the polls in states where the latter was its main challenger. The Congress defeated the SADBJP alliance in Punjab, but the BJP was a junior partner in the state.

DailyDevotion The Spiritual Search
What man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? —Matthew 7:9 The illustration of prayer that our Lord used here is one of a good child who is asking for something good. We talk about prayer as if God hears us regardless of what our relationship is to Him (seeMatthew 5:45). Never say that it is not God’s will to give you what you ask. Don’t faint and give up, but find out the reason you have not received; increase the intensity of your search and examine the evidence. Is your relationship right with your spouse, your children, and your fellow students? Are you a “good child” in those relationships? Do you have to say to the Lord, “I have been irritable and cross, but I still want spiritual blessings”? You cannot receive and will have to do without them until you have the attitude of a “good child.” We mistake defiance for devotion, arguing with God instead of surrendering. We refuse to look at the evidence that clearly indicates where we are wrong. Have I been asking God to give me money for something I want, while refusing to pay someone what I owe him? Have I been asking God for liberty while I am withholding it from someone who belongs to me? Have I refused to forgive someone, and have I been unkind to that person? Have I been living as God’s child among my relatives and friends? (see Matthew 7:12). I am a child of God only by being born again, and as His child I am good only as I “walk in the light” (1 John 1:7). For most of us, prayer simply becomes some trivial religious expression, a matter of mystical and emotional fellowship with God. We are all good at producing spiritual fog that blinds our sight. But if we will search out and examine the evidence, we will see very clearly what is wrong— a friendship, an unpaid debt, or an improper attitude. There is no use praying unless we are living as children of God. Then Jesus says, regarding His children, “Everyone who asks receives…” (Matthew 7:8).

Post-mortem
Vol. XXVII NO. 260 Dimapur, Friday, August 25, 2017
hen the Supreme Court of India gave its judgment on July 26, 2017 on the PIL filed by a BJP member from Assam late Bimolangshu Roy who challenged the constitutional validity of the Assam Parliamentary Secretaries (Appointment, Salaries, Allowances and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2004 on August 21, 2006 it was clearly and landmark judgement which sent shock waves across many states. The appointment of Parliamentary Secretaries is a political ploy to circumvent Article 164 (1A) of the Constitution of India which stipulates that “The total number of Ministers, including the Chief Minister, in the Council of Ministers in a State shall not exceed fifteen per cent of the total number of members of the Legislative Assembly of the State...”. In its judgment the Supreme Court ruled that Article 194 “does not expressly authorise the state legislature to create offices such as the one in question.” The Supreme Court judgment cannot be ignored by states as the governments will have to respond to notices when such are issued. After the amendment in 2004, many states resorted to appointment of chief parliamentary secretaries/ parliamentary secretaries since every MLA can no longer be accommodated in the cabinet. States passed their own Act where provision was made for appointment of Parliamentary Secretaries to keep the non-ministers’ flock happy with loaves and fishes. Each Parliamentary Secretary enjoys the status, pay and perks as much as a minister of state etc. In some states, chief parliamentary secretaries were appointed with pay and perks equivalent to the rank of a cabinet minister. Except for small states with a maximum of 70 seats where the number of ministers is restricted to 20% of the strength of the house, all others have to restrict the number within 15% of the strength of the house. The judgment is certainly going to affect, among others, neighbouring Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland which have 26 parliamentary secretaries, which is more than 43% of the total strength of the 60-member legislative assemblies of the two states. In Nagaland, 81% of MLAs now have the status of a minister. In the T.R. Zeliang ministry which is 47-strong, there are 12 members of the cabinet (including the chief minister), nine advisors (cabinet status) and 26 parliamentary secretaries. In Nagaland, there is another practise which is innovative, involving the appointment of advisors to the chief minister with cabinet rank. That means there are 21 ministers and 26 ministers of state out of 48 (one is a speaker) and taking the total to 100% having ministerial status. In September 2016, the Delhi High Court set aside the appointment of 21 AAP MLAs as parliamentary secretaries by Arvind Kejriwal government. In June 2016 the Calcutta High Court quashed the appointment of 24 Parliamentary Secretaries in West Bengal dubbing it as unconstitutional. Similar action was taken by the Bombay High Court in 2009; Goa and by the Himachal Pradesh High Court in 2005. In May 2015, the Hyderabad High Court stayed the appointment of Parliamentary Secretaries in Telangana. The matter is sub judice in Punjab and Haryana. Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) has issued a 7-day ultimatum on the Governor of Nagaland to dismiss these unconstitutional posts failing which it will take recourse to legal action. That will probably drastically reduce expenditure as well as corruption but it will certainly be politically disastrous.

Zero tolerance in the fight against corruption
n support of the upcoming public rally organized by ACAUT on the issue of corruption, I feel it is my duty to share my understanding on the subject and also express my opinion. Since statehood, corruption has always existed in Nagaland. In recent years though, it has become widespread and brazen to the extent that the corrupt have become shameless. At present we are in a precarious position of having an Assembly with no opposition party. Many of our public organizations have also been co-opted into the corrupt system. No proper checks and balances exist within our system. The result is gross mismanagement of our State finances. We are all familiar with the phrase ‘power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely’. This is the unique situation in Nagaland. During my years as an active journalist and later Editor spanning the last 15 years I have probably written more articles and editorials on corruption, clean election and Naga political issue in comparison to other topics. It needed a movement like the ACAUT to finally ‘walk the talk’ that many of us—both in the media, church and elsewhere had been expressing since the last two to three decades but never had the courage and audacity—to confront head-on this monster called corruption and the system that promotes it. I want to revisit a few ideas for the general public to consider during their rally against corruption. 1. The first thing we need to understand is the corrupt does not include only the politicians or bureaucrats or that corruption cannot be solely blamed on them alone. As former Chief Election Commissioner SS Gill in his book ‘The pathology of corruption’ points out, ‘entire
G
od created human in his own image without any partiality. But in Nagaland nepotism, favouritism, and discrimination are the order of the day and as a result of which the general public are suffering no less then slaves. The handfuls of rich and powerful people are not at all aware of, about the untold suffering and miseries faced by the general public. The poor public having no auto-fare chose to travel on foot at the horrible road condition risking their health and life: pregnant women melancholy juggling in the auto rickshaw risking her unborn baby and her life too. However, the so called rich and powerful wife and daughter who are
sections of our public life have become corrupt.’ There is the corrupt politician (neta), the corrupt bureaucrat (babu), the corrupt business (lala), the corrupt NGO (jhola) and finally the criminal (dada). Besides the above, in Nagaland we may also include the corrupt voters, armed groups and church. Let’s be clear therefore that the bribe giver and the bribe taker are both guilty. 2. We need to resolve and pledge for ‘zero tolerance against corruption’. To put it simply, Zero Tolerance means that no case of corruption will be tolerated and the corrupt would be punished. In Nagaland corruption is a ‘low risk-high-profit-business’. The existing system does not punish the corrupt and therefore there is no deterrence and fear against corruption. We need to change this. But for that to happen the rule of law must apply in Nagaland and those found guilty punished. 3. Demand for an open and transparent government. Open Government is what is urgently required at this point. There is growing anger and distrust over the present situation—the prolonged infighting among our leaders for spoils of power, deplorable road condition, collapsing infrastructure, insensitivity to public grievances etc. Our Chief Minister may have joined social media platforms to connect with citizens. But this is not enough nor is it a priority. People want transparency and accountability in his administration. Information is indispensable for the functioning of a true democracy. Why do our citizens have to run around filing RTI petitions? The RTI Act under Section 4(2) exhorts that voluntary disclosure of information by public authorities should become so common “that the public have minimum resort to the use of this Act to obtain
information”. A former Central Information Commissioner once said “RTI Act serves best when the citizens feels the least need to use it”. As head of the government, the CM should in fact direct the officials and government departments to maximize information (disclosure) in the public domain and thereby automatically promote transparency. 4. As coined by Prime Minister Narender Modi, we should also demand for ‘minimum government and maximum governance’. For a small and resource crunch State like Nagaland we cannot afford to have a jumbo sized ministry. The priority of the government should be on corruption-free good governance, mobilizing resources for development and curtailment of wasteful expenditure. With a comfortable majority, our CM should downsize his ministry without waiting for court intervention. Public will support him. 5. All of us are aware that the tools to fight corruption include both legal and institutional mechanisms. Let’s try and revisit two such institutions. Since the 1970s we have the State Vigilance Commission (SVC) but it has not been able to deliver, leave alone punish the corrupt. Rather than being an independent body it remains subservient to the government of the day. The State Vigilance Commissioner is a political appointee so unless the mode of appointment is changed, the SVC will not be able to do justice in weeding out corruption from all government establishments. We need to demand the independence of the SVC or else to disband it as there is no point in wasting public money on something that has no value or function. Next, the poor quality of our development work has become a matter of concern for all of us—high cost involved,
Where power lies
E
stalled projects or substandard and poor quality. We should demand to know from the Chief Minister on the state of the ‘Quality Control Board’, appointed a few years ago to address the above concerns. If I may recall, the Quality Control Board, instituted by the previous Neiphiu Rio government, was empowered to order an enquiry or investigation on any construction project or on materials supplied…There was also the provision for setting up of Quality Control Committee in each Department and also District Quality Control Committee Levels to check, verify and inspect supplied materials and also construction works. Whether the quality of development in Nagaland has improved or not, a report on the working of the Quality Control Board is overdue. If the present government says that it is sincere in fighting the menace of corruption, then the institution of the State Vigilance Commission and Quality Control Board must be made more strong and enabling to take on corruption. At present both appears to be below par in terms of motivation, independence and direction. Conclusion The popular notion that Nagas are corrupt and large scale extortion takes place in our land only belittles our national aspiration to be an independent and sovereign people. Reforming our sociopolitical systems is in our interest as we prepare towards greater self-rule and sovereign decision making Although the Promised Land was God’s gift to the Israelites, they still had to fight and conquer it. So kudos to ACAUT for their resolve in fighting corruption. May you fight the good fight for what is right and just. (Along Longkumer: The writer is a former Editor and senior journalist)
very government, association or organisation derives its power from the people they govern or hold authority over. If the people are dissatisfied over the performance of those that govern them, the right to remove them from their offices of authority lies with the people and the laws they subscribe to. The problem in Nagaland is that we have so many tribes, clans and villages that the people in power have no problem dividing us to rule over us. And we stupid Nagas follow Lucifer’s philosophy that, “Tis better to rule in Hell than to serve in Heaven” (John Milton: - Paradise Lost); so we are happy to put up with our bad roads, irregular electricity, collapsing bridges et al, just so that we can boast that the Chief Minister/ Minister/Parliamentary Secretary/Officer/President belongs to our family/village/clan/range/ tribe. We boast of them in the Hell that Nagaland has become. Be that as it may, our M.L.A.s have purchased their way into power by subverting the letter and spirit of the Law through the Electoral Process, our Officers have obtained their offices through the front and back doors and the Presidents of our Tribal Organisations have attained their offices according to the rules and regulations of our respective tribes. But I wonder at the Naga Council, Dimapur. I put the following questions to the present Members of the N.C.D. 1. I believe in the right of every man to take any decision on any matter that he pleases; but what gave you the right to issue the statement that you would not be attending the Rally called for by A.C.A.U.T., using your offices as members of the N.C.D.? Your individual sentiments should be expressed under your individual names. Using your offices as members of the N.C.D. has given the totally wrong impression that the Nagas of Dimapur are against the Rally call of A.C.A.U.T. But the reality is that you seem to be the only ones against it. 2. As, supposedly, responsible members of a respectable organisation, it is incumbent upon you to explain any position you take on any issue. You have been elected/selected to the N.C.D. to look out for and to the welfare of the Nagas of Dimapur, in particular, and all people of Dimapur in general. You are not the owners of the Nagas of Dimapur nor of Dimapur Town that you can issue cryptic statements using the good name of the Nagas and Dimapur Town inherent in the nomenclature, “Naga Council, Dimapur” There are many corrupted people and organisations that are against all that A.C.A.U.T. stands for; but they are intelligent enough to maintain silence on the issue of the proposed Rally. Your statement on it has opened you up to the judgement of the People of Nagaland, they have measured you by different standards, you have been weighed, you have been measured and you are found wanting; you have fallen far short of all the standards necessary for Honesty, Probity and Decency required of any Civilised Society. You may hang yourselves or hang your heads in shame for all we care. Nagaland has no use for Dinosaurs of Arrogance like you.

Stand steadfast to the truth with integrity
recklessly playing in the air conditioned luxuries car is not at all concern about the inhuman condition of the general public. Often the students returned home with splashes of mud and stain on their uniform due to muddy road condition and rivers like road which is alien to those rich and powerful sons and daughters who are enjoying all the facilities in metro cities and abroad. More ironically, the poor students who completed their studies with borrowed amount are not getting the jobs as the authority often weighted money is heavier than degree. On the other hand theirs sons and daughters are eligible to get jobs on mere possession of cer-
tificates. It is to be noted seriously that certificates can be procured through various means but jobs requires knowledge and integrity. Therefore in our states the principle of “right man in right job” is often trampled under the knee of injustice and ultimately the public are suffering to the core. People respect richman when their riches are through hard works. People honour the powerful when their power are being exercise justly. But unfortunately, the handful of rich and powerful in our State neither examine as through which means they have accumulates such mammoth wealth nor realise whether they exercise the power for
the welfare and up-liftment of the society. Very sad to say that our Naga’s have adopted the culture to worship the rich and powerful without distinguishing between the grain and chuff and without differentiating between legitimate and illegitimate. In our State the powerful and rich are totally immune from the Court’s order; CBI and RTI because everything can be shielded through money which indicates the level of corruptions. Some public spirited leaders often exposes the misdeeds and corruptions of the Government by risking their lives but surprisingly there is no words of “Shame” in the dictionary of
the powerful therefore every time everything turn out to be well and settle which is the sorry state of affairs. The act of exploitation, suppression, and oppression of the public will go down in our Naga history and the future generation will not forgive and forget the powerful and money mongers who exploits our State both length and breadth and hanging the head of Christian State in shame. Today, the (powerful and rich) possess all form of powers both outside and inside and stood immunized from all cannon of justice. Therefore, whoever you are, the pastors, with all out sincerity and prayer urged you in the name of the Lord
‘The Bible speaks on how to elect our representatives to authority’
G
od has given us one great responsibility to each of us—the freedom and right to select and appoint our leaders! This is a divine responsibility! In the Bible, often times we see that God directly appointed leaders. However we also find that God also appointed leaders through the choices of his people like Moses appointing leaders to work with him in the wilderness (Deuteronomy 1:9-18) or Paul and Barnabas appointing elders in the church (Acts 14:23) based on certain spiritual and leadership qualifications. Similarly, God has also shared His divine role with us to appoint leaders in the affairs of the world. Therefore, appointment of leaders whether through selection or election needs to be done prayerfully if we long to see God’s justice and righteousness, and goodness and mercies overflowing in our world. Apostles Paul (Romans
13: 1-7) and Peter (1 Peter 2: 13-17) clearly give the model of God’s kingdom politics as they underline the reasons on who and why governing authority has been established, and why and how citizens need to relate with the authority. These same rationales can be used as the guiding principles based on which citizens could make wise choices in electing their representative leaders and choosing political parties. The same principles could be used to form political party and chart political manifesto however our concern here is to help citizens to make realistic and well informed choices as they prayerfully consider in electing their representatives. i. The first principle is based on justice and righteousness. Who and which political party esteems and would execute fairness in all areas of life like our history, culture, economy, environment, religion, society, politics and governance?
ii. The second principle is about responsible freedom. Who and which political party esteems and would be able to protect and promote responsible freedom? iii. The third principle is mutual respect. Who and which political party esteems and would be able to protect and promote mutual respect in the midst of diversities? iv. The fourth principle is the fraternity of believers. Who and which political party esteems and would be able to protect and promote the freedom of propagation of faith? v. The fifth principle is the ‘fear of God’. Who and which political party esteems and would be able to protect and promote the notion and action of being accountable to God? vi. The sixth principle is about ‘honouring the king’. Who and which political party would be able to self respect their given authority and ex-
ecute their responsibility with integrity? The opportunity to elect leaders to a position which has been instituted by God is a great responsibility! Therefore all our value formations, decisions and actions need to be “for the Lord’s sake”. So there is the urgency for every citizen to prayerfully elect their representatives based on the above principles and not for any other self-centered motives. This is our mission! This is the key to usher in God’s kingdom politics here on earth in our own nation and constituencies! If not, people who cast their votes based on narrow self centered interests are the agents of wickedness and they are responsible for our broken and corrupted world! The authority is in our hands! If each one of us can be the change we yearn to see in our land, then our future is worth venturing into! Peter T. Kent

Reader’s Post Appeal to horticulture deptt
Sir,
We, the Pineapple growers of New Jalukie Village, Peren district would like to urge the concern Horticulture Department of Nagaland to celebrate “Pineapple Festival” in the month of July every year unlike this year (2017) which was celebrated in the month of August on 8th – 9th at Agri Expo Dimapur. Because the best and most suitable period to harvest the reap fruits like Pineapple, Mango, Jackfruit and other summer season fruits is in the month of June and July. Due to its inappropriate time period we could not participate such an august gathering though we were invited by the DHO Peren. Therefore, the Pineapple farmers of New Jalukie Village request the concern authority to celebrate “Pineapple Festival” at an appropriate season, so that the farmers can bring their best production in the Expo. Also, organizing such kind of festival with various price competitions is commendable which encourages the farmers to yield more production and inspire the farming community to put more effort in their field. Simeon Kahmei, Gongthanlung, Gaithaomei & Liangkebo of New Jalukie Village, Peren district

It stated that based “on sequence of simultaneous unfortunate incidents being unfolded in the aftermath of the political dispute and imbroglio, the shooting incident at Hotel Vivor appear to be a consequence of the recent political fallout”.

Mumbai, Aug 24 (PTI): The Indian Farmer Fertiliser Cooperative (IFFCO) Thursday said it has signed an agreement with CSC e-Governance Services India CSC–SPV) to provide e-commerce services to villages. This will be done through digital initiative of IFFCO, Indian Cooperative Digital Platform (ICDP), the fertilizer cooperative said in a release here.

Nagaland being Christian state, KU also appealed to NBCC to rethink and act on the issuance of the unique identity number. KU said that the concept of a direct benefit transfer was laudable but it was not possible to implement under its jurisdiction at this juncture. It, therefore, asked the government to take into account the remoteness and backwardness of the region while executing any policies. “We cannot go in parallel with the mainland Indians. Konyak public in particular or Nagas in general should not be victimised on such hurried & rush policy”, KU said. Also, reminding the special provision granted to the state under article 371A by the Indian constitution, the KU urged the state government to seriously ponder and act in accordance with the special provision or else “we are pumping off our own rights”. KU also appealed to Naga scholars, lawyers, intellectuals and politicians to seriously ponder upon the unique identity numbers and its implication upon Naga society and aspiration. The union further reiterated that no institution within Konyak jurisdiction will enforce aadhaar card as mandatory.

DIMAPUR, AUG 24 (NPN): Konyak Union (KU) has criticized the policy of the central government in imposing aadhaar as mandatory for availing of government’s welfare facilities claiming that the compulsion was invading the right to privacy. Reminding Supreme Court verdict, which stated that aadhaar was voluntary and that it cannot be made mandatory “till the matter is finally decided by this court on way or the other”, the KU urged the government to uphold on priority. In a statement, KU vice president Manlip Konyak and ge n e r a l s e c r e t a r y H o n a n g Konyak expressed discontentment after Konyaks of Myanmar were restricted from going to Mon town on non possession of aadhaar card. In this regard, KU demanded that restriction on non possession of aadhaar card should not be repeated or be imposed within its jurisdiction. As the sole purpose of aadhaar is to ascertain/legitimise the actual beneficiary for direct benefit transfer, the union pointed out that the issuance of unique identity number has nothing to do in disciplining the citizen “when such numbers are provided to any immigrants randomly”.

Further, it said that the R&B department had made another drawal of Rs. 20 crore on December 12, 2016 under maintenance of roads. This raised the total amount for road maintenance to Rs.72.42 crore, it added. Since the statement made by the then R&B minister was contradictory and to the facts revealed, ACAUT demanded that
the R&B department and the state government explain to the people—“why did the then R&B minister say that under the new funding pattern the allotment for road maintenance was under Rs. 40 crore when the R&B had drawn Rs.52.42 lakhs; when funding pattern was just Rs 40 crore for road maintenance in a year, how was it that the R&B department made over Rs. 72 crore drawals?”

With focus on inflation control and other measures to correct the balance sheets of companies and banks, “the RBI in its own way is paving the way for more sustainable growth for over next three to five year horizon down the road,” he said. “It would be a mistake if we do not repair our balance sheets in a quick and an efficient manner now so that we can start growing fast in a sustainable way,” Acharya said. Defending the inflation targeting, he said it is the right thing to embark on as “now there is much clearer purpose in setting up interest rates than we had in the past.”

M u m ba i , Au g 2 4 (PTI): Amidst shrill calls for double- digit growth, Reserve Bank deputy governor Viral Acharya has warned that such faster GDP expansion is always debt-driven and could crash at some point with disastrous consequences. He said instead the focus now must be to structurally set the economy on the right direction so that when it gets its mojo back growth can pick up at a more furious pace that will be more sustainable. “I think, invariably, the episodes of 9 to 10 per cent growth are all laden with massive debt-based funding of some asset class,” Acharya told an Asia Society event last night.

Qatar restores diplomatic ties with Iran Post. Qatar hosts U.S. warplanes at a major air base and serves as a logistical hub for Pentagon operations. “The State of Qatar expressed its aspiration to strengthen bilateral relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran in all fields,” Qatar’s foreign ministry said in a statement. The brief statement made no mention of the tensions that have roiled the Persian Gulf since June, when Saudi Arabia and three other Arab nations severed ties with Qatar. The Arab bloc shut down borders, airspace, and shipping lanes after accusing the tiny,
energy-rich nation of backing terrorism for ties with groups such as Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood. Qatar has also come under pressure to close down the powerful pan-Arab broadcaster Al Jazeera, which is based in the Qatari capital, Doha. Qatar has denied the allegations and has weathered the boycott, not least by turning to Iran and Turkey for economic and military assistance. Qatar recalled its ambassador from Tehran in early 2016 to show solidarity with Saudi Arabia after pro-
testers ransacked the kingdom’s embassy in Tehran and a consulate in the city of Mashhad. The attacks were triggered by Riyadh’s execution of a well-known Shiite Muslim cleric, and prompted Saudi Arabia to severe ties with Iran after accusing it of failing to protect its missions. One of the key demands to by the Saudi-led bloc — which includes Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain — to lift their economic and diplomatic sanctions is that Qatar restricts its ties with Iran.
and this is seen by analysts as a means of showing off its military power or sending messages to its foes. Timed to warn America North Korea’s report of the visit appears to be deliberately timed, coming on the third day of the Ulchi Freedom Guardian military exercises involving South Korea and the United States, to which Pyongyang is vehemently opposed. The timing and the content is critical. Speaking to South Korea’s JoongAng Ilbo newspaper, Shin Jongwoo of the Korea Defence and Security Forum said that North Korea “has a history of displaying actual weapons, or graphic designs of them, via state media in order to flaunt its military prowess to the world.” According to KCNA, Kim Jong-un is said to have ordered scientists at the fa-

Unlike the liquid-fuelled Hwasong-14 missile which North Korea tested in July, Hwasong-13 appears to be a three-stage solid fuel rocket; while the solid-fuelled Pukguksong-3 is a longer-range version of the Pukguksong-1 and -2 missiles which were tested in 2016. Whether by mistake or as a ruse, it has happened before.

16 dead as strong typhoon floods Macau, China HONG KONG, Aug 24 (Agencies): The most powerful typhoon to hit the southern Chinese region in more than half a century left at least 16 dead as a sudden deluge swamped the gambling hub of Macau, submerging streets and stranding residents. Macau said on Thursday that eight people were killed in the former Portuguese colony, including two men found overnight in a submerged parking garage. Another 153 were injured amid extensive flooding, power outages, and the smashing of doors and windows by high winds and driving rain. “It’s a calamity, the losses are high and a lot of buildings need repair,’’ said Macau lawmaker Jose Pereira Coutinho, adding that he heard from many people who still had no water or electricity a day after Typhoon Hato tore across the 30-square kilometer (19square mile) territory. Coutinho said the flooding was at its worst in the older parts of the city’s downtown, where narrow lanes date back from Macau’s time as a Portuguese colony for more than four centuries. “People were just swimming, they cried for help. There were no boats. The water came so suddenly,’’ said Coutinho, who slammed the city government for having “reacted so slowly and so badly.’’ Casinos downtown “were either closed or barely operating,’’ while some resorts in the newer Cotai district were in better shape but operating without air conditioning, Union Gaming Research analyst Grant Govertsen said in a report. The chief executive of Macau’s local government, Chui Sai On, ordered measures to “further the relief efforts,’’ the Government Information Bureau said in a statement on Thursday.
Lon d on , A u g 2 4 (Agencies): North Korea appears to have revealed details of two as-yet untested missile systems in its press coverage of a factory inspection by the country’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un. Photographs released by KCNA state news agency to go with a report on Mr Kim’s visit to a facility at the Academy of Defence Sciences facility show wall charts describing the missiles, called Hwasong-13 and Pukguksong-3. Hwasong-13 appears to be a three-stage ICBM (Inter Continental Ballistic Missile), while the chart showing Pukguksong-3, although largely obscured by officials, is an Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM). It’s not the first time that North Korea has “accidentally” left details of important developments in the background of photo-shoots,

Rio De Janeiro, Aug 24 (AFP): The death toll from two separate ferry wrecks in Brazil surged Thursday, with 41 people killed overall, according to authorities. The public safety department in north-central Para state said 19 people were confirmed dead so far after a boat sank on the Xingu river late Tuesday. That vessel, the Capitan Ribeiro, had 49 people on board, of whom 23 were rescued and seven remained missing, the department said in a statement. Separately, the navy said 22 people died when a ferry sank early Thursday off the northeastern state of Bahia. That boat had 133 people on board, of which at least 21 had been rescued, naval commander Flavio Almeida told AFP. The vessel was running the short route from the island of Itaparica across the bay to the city of Salvador, capital of Bahia state, when it went down. There was no immediate information about the causes of the two sinkings. Newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo said the boat in Para, in a northern Amazon region, may have been caught in a storm. The vessel in the fatal incident in Para had left the port of Santarem bound for Vitoria de Xingu.

He said that the US and NATO stand by the Afghan security forces against terrorists and enemies of Afghanistan. “Let me say to the brave people of Afghanistan who only wish to live in a peaceful country: US, your NATO allies and partners are with you. This policy announcement by (President) Donald Trump is proof of our continued commitment.” The US’s new strategy is guided by conditions on the ground, and not by “arbitrary timelines”, he said.

It advised them to inform their family, colleagues and friends about their travels and to keep the communication open. It said all Chinese in India must carry personal identification and be cautious and strictly comply with Indian laws and regulations and respect local religious practices and customs.

omewhere in the beginning of 2017, when one of the members took his son for an urgent medical treatment, he was redirected to another hospital because of the shortage of emergency medical facilities. As a result, the thought of giving back to the hospital that has saved many lives prompted well wishers to organise a concert in September 1, at the
Donbosco Youth Center Wokha through which the profit will go towards the hospital in saving more lives. The concert is purely for a charity purpose and any profit made out of this event would be handed to the hospital authorities which will in return benefit the public of Wokha. Saronthung Kikon, a musician from Wokha who had recently released a sec-
Kapil Sharma’s Firangi: Sunil Grover sends his best wishes
T
he equation between Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover is one which is hugely speculated upon. While many believe that they are enemies now, things are far from that. Few days back, Kapil spoke about how he has met Sunil a few times and how his show is always open for him. The nature of tweet from Sunil’s side hinted that he was aware of Kapil’s health woes and wished him the best of health. It is so heart-warming to see the bond between the two. Well, Sunil was having a Twitter chat with fans when someone asked him about Kapil’s Firangi. He said he sent his best wishes for the film. We know that Kapil began work on Firangi when Sunil was a part of The Kapil Sharma Show. Lately, even Ali Asgar showed his love for Kapil Sharma’s Firangi.
Post his exit from The Kapil Sharma Show, Sunil has been busy with live shows and was seen as a host with Karan Johar on Big Zee Entertainment Awards. Buzz is that he will be seen on some episodes of the Great Indian Laughter Challenge as well. The two separated after the much talked about fight on board the Air India flight from Melbourne to Delhi. It seems there was an argument after which Kapil physically abused Sunil. The actor moved away from the show along with Ali Asgar.
ond single called ‘fighter’ and has stood as one of the finalist in the radio solo singing competition representing Wokha and Thungyani Kikon, a passionate singer with a certificate from Royal School of Music, London would be performing at the concert. Renowned artistes like Alobo Naga and Emilo Patton are set to enthrall the crowd.
avid Hasselhoff thinks the ‘Baywatch’ movie reboot is nothing like the original TV series. The 65-year-old actor played LA County lifeguard Mitch Buchannon in the hit TV series which began in 1989 and went on to become a worldwide hit making stars of actresses such as Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra and Erika Eleniak and many more until it ended for good in 2001. This year, a movie adaptation starring Dwayne
‘The Rock’ Johnson, Zac Efron, Kelly Rohrbach and Priyanka Chopra hit cinema screens and although Hasselhoff had a cameo role in the film he insists the “R-rated romp” was very far away from his show, but he still liked what they did with the premise. Speaking to CinemaBlend, Hasselhoff said “’Baywatch’, they used the title, they used the beach, but the rest of it was more like ‘Dirty Grandpa’. It was kind of an R-rated fun romp at the beach. And you know what? There’s a giant audience for that. The Rock is probably the nicest guy I’ve ever met, next to me, and Zac Efron and the cast were so great and they embraced me so much so I have nothing but positive things to say about it. Was it like Baywatch? Not even close. Did they want it to be like that? No, they wanted to make something different, and it’s doing quite well around the world.”

Paul Stanley & Phil Anselmo make predictions for Mayweather / McGregor historic fight
P
aul Stanley from Kiss and Phil Anselmo of Pantera have made their predictions for this weekend’s big boxing and mixed martial arts crossover fight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor. Noted fight fan Anselmo — who used to write a column for Boxing Insider — gave UFC champion McGregor “zero chance” to defeat
Floyd Mayweather in a straight-up boxing match during a recent interview with Ghost Cult. “It’s so ridiculous,” he said. “Ricky Hatton, former world champion, said it best. ‘Me, Oscar De La Hoya, Canelo Alverez — none of us can hit Mayweather, but Conor McGregor thinks he can?’ It’s going to be a one-sided [fight, with] Floyd carrying him for as long as
he possibly can. … Mayweather by landslide, and he can knock McGregor out anytime he wants.” During a recent appearance on the Loudwire podcast, Stanley said he also favors Mayweather, partially because the fight will be held using boxing rules, not MMA ones: “One of these guys has done it his whole life, and the other hasn’t,” he noted. “So we’ll see what
happens.” He also cautioned fans not to expect a slugfest from noted defensive specialist Mayweather: “I don’t think that’s going to happen,” Stanley said. “I think people are expecting more of a fight than they might get. You have to remember Floyd Mayweather is a fighter who knows how to punch and get away. The idea of them going toe-totoe, I think, is a fantasy. Sometimes people are disappointed by [Mayweather’s] performance. But he’s a technician. The idea that they’re gonna go in and see who can knock the other out — I don’t think that’s in the cards, although I wouldn’t be surprised if somebody winds up on the mat.”
through music and whats exciting is that the entry will be free for all. Bob Fitts has been at the forefront of worship leading and song writing with an international platform in live performance and recordings f o r ove r 3 0 years. His best known song “Blessed Be the Lord God Almighty”, reached the ears of both Integrity Music and Maranatha Music and he was invited to record albums with both companies. These cassettes and CDs along with his own studio recordings opened the doors to many nations around the world. Bob began leading worship during his high school days, and the songs he has written and sung
have always emphasised the over-abundant love and grace of God, bringing hope and healing to people all over the world. Some of his well-known songs are, Blessed Be The Lord God Almighty, Take My Healing To The Nations, He Is Lovely and He Will Come And Save You. Bob and his wife have travelled to over 50 countries to lead praise and worship and teach at schools, events, conferences, ministries and churches. Because of their extensive international travels, they make their church home at New Creation Church in Singapore, where they have had pastoral relationships since 1991. In addition to his worldwide ministry as a leader of praise and worship, Bob and Kathy also founded Alabaster Ministries, a charitable organisation that provides materially and spiritually to fatherless and widows through practical acts of service and Christian worship.
Katy Perry & Calvin Harris end six year beef
K
aty Perry has finally buried the hatchet with Calvin Harris after they fell out six years ago. The pair fell out in 2011 when Harris was booked as the opening act for the singer’s tour but he pulled out at the last minute over issues with set production. At the time Per r y wrote: ”Calvin Harris will NOT be joining in on the fun and has CANCELLED last minute,” while Calvin hit back saying: ”Sorry to all who wanted to see me with Katy – her team suddenly moved the goalposts and I was to appear on stage with no production.” However, Perry hit back, saying: “The goalpost seems to be perfectly fine
for New Young Pony Club, Yelle, Robyn, Marina & The Diamonds, to name a few. It’s fine, I’m used to you cancelling on me, it’s become ur staple! (sic).” Perry said they hadn’t spoken since but has now revealed when they met at the Vanity Fair Oscars party this year, they decided to forget about the past and Harris asked her to collaborate on new song ‘Feels’, which appeared on his recent album ‘Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1’. She told ‘On Air With Ryan Seacrest’, Katy said: “We’d had little falling outs here and there. We’d had some public Twitter spats … Time to put all that behind us”.
Shraddha says Saina Tom Morello on Chris Cornell’s Death: Nehwal guides her on ‘I Don’t Think I’ll Ever Recover’ how to better her game
F
P
rophets of Rage and Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello recently spoke to Detroit radio station WRIF about the passing of Chris Cornell, who Morello spent a tenure with in Audioslave. Morello spoke about his reaction to learning about Cornell’s death, and how it’s been affecting him to this day. “I don’t think I’ll ever recover from his passing, but we have so many great memories,” Tom said about Chris. “And I was just really glad that I was able to… We played an Audioslave show — the first one in 12 years — in January, so to be able to reconnect with him, both as friends and as musical collaborators, that’s K
Y M C
something I’m so glad we were able to do.” He also spoke about Chester Bennington’s recent suicide. “It’s insane,” Morello said. “It’s a horrible loss for the world of music, but also a horrible loss, ’cause they were two… I didn’t know Chester as well, but [they were] two really good people. And both seemed very inexplicable, their passing.” He spoke largely about depression, and how more people are waking up to the problems of mental health in the larger music world. “I’m not someone who suffers from depression, so I don’t understand it, but you’ve really gotta… For all you listeners out there, if you do know someone
who has addiction issues or depression issues, that’s a real thing, and to always make sure that they know you’re there for ’em,” he said. “We’ve gotta look after each other.” Last May, Morello posted a poem on his Instagram, honoring the life of Cornell, along with a picture with him and the rest of Audioslave. That week Morello had stated, in part, “I love you, brother. Thank you for your friendship and your humor and your intellect and your singular and unmatched talent.” Last month, he also posted a lengthy tribute, asking artists and fans to make two pledges following the deaths of Cornell and Bennington.
rom Milkha Singh and Mary Kom to Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar, journeys of several Indian sports personalities have charmed Bollywood filmmakers in the recent past. Now, a biopic on badminton sensation Saina Nehwal is in the works. Shraddha Kapoor will step into Nehwal’s shoes in the Amol Guptedirected project. The actor, who has started prepping for the role, says, “I have fallen in love with the sport. I look forward to my badminton sessions every day. I see young kids playing the sport amazingly, which is inspiring. It’s a tough sport. Apart from being physically fit, you need to be mentally strong. It’s going to be a challenging role for me.” “I keep messaging her. We exchange notes about the game. I also share videos of my training sessions with Saina and she shares her feedback. She tells me how my game can get better. Since I need to pick up her mannerisms and understand her mindset, watching old matches is also part of the preparation,” says Kapoor.

Cibulkova rallies to reach Connecticut open quarters
Dominika Cibulkova returns a shot to Alize Cornet at the Connecticut Open.
NEW HAVEN, Aug 24 (Agencies): Fresh off one of the easiest victories for any WTA Tour player this season, Alize Cornet had a much tougher time of it on Wednesday night. No. 2 seed Dominka Cibulkova rallied back from a first-set loss to beat Cornet, 2-6, 6-2, 6-4, in an exhaustive, emotional second-round match at the Connecticut Open. It’s the second time in
Carlos sentenced to jail for unpaid child support
Roberto Carlos
Rio de Janeiro, Aug 24 (IANS): A Rio de Janeiro judge has sentenced former Real Madrid and Brazil international fullback Roberto Carlos to jail for failing to pay child support. The 44-year-old owes his ex-partner Barbara Thurler 61,000 reais (around $20,000), according to documents lodged with the Itaperuna family court in Rio de Janeiro state, reports Xinhua. Carlos, a father of nine, has two children with Thurler. Judge Mayane de Castro said the family rejected a proposal by the 44-yearold to pay the sum in instalments. The retired World Cup winner’s lawyer, Fernando Pittner, said the matter would be resolved without Carlos going to jail. C a r l o s, w h o wa s capped 125 times for Brazil’s national team, currently lives in Spain and works as an ambassador for Real Madrid.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur
a week that Cibulkova has defeated Cornet in a second-round match, doing so last week in Cincinnati by a 6-4, 6-1 final. Both sporting nearidentical outfits (orange top, white skirt) thanks to their shared Lacoste sponsorship, Cornet and Cibulkova battled for just over two hours at Stadium Court. Cornet won the first set rather handily, but got frustrated and feisty in
the second, barking several times at her coaches and seemingly upset by a couple of calls by the line judges, as well. Cibulkova took advantage and cruised to the second-set victory. Cornet seemed to regain her composure in jumping out to a 4-2 lead in the third, but Cibulkova won the final four games. Cibulkova, ranked No. 11 in the world, will now face sixth-seeded An-
astasia Pavlyuchenkova in the quarterfinal match. “Cibulkova had an amazing year last year,” Pavlyuchenkova said. “When we played at Indian Wells, it was a tight match (Pavlyuchenkova won 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 in March).” Cibulkova had earned a first-round bye. The Slovakian native is now 7-3 alltime against Cornet. This is her eighth appearance in New Haven and third trip to the quarterfinals. She lost to eventual champion Caroline Wozniacki in the quarters in 2012 and to Lucie Safarova in 2015. Cibulkova has eight career WTA Tour victories but is still looking for her first of this season. Belguim’s Kirsten Flipkens set up a quarterfinal against Australia’s Daria Gavrilova, beating Romania’s Ana Bogdan 6-1, 7-6 (1). China’s Zhang Shuai beat Poland’s Magda Linette 6-3, 6-7 (4), 6-3. Zhang will face Belgium’s Elise Mertens.
FIFA study Neymar Barca bonus claim PARIS, Aug 24 (Agencies): FIFA said on Thursday it was investigating Brazilian superstar Neymar’s complaint over an unpaid loyalty bonus from Barcelona in the increasingly bitter feud with his former club since his move to Paris Saint-Germain. A FIFA spokesman said the complaint was “pending and being investigated” and he could not comment any further. Barcelona are refusing to pay a 26-million-euro ($30.6 million) bonus to Neymar for signing a fiveyear contract renewal last year. In a separate issue, the Catalan giants are seeking 8.5 million euros in compensation from Neymar for breach of contract following his world record 222-million-euro move to PSG in August. Neymar’s family hit back on Tuesday with their representatives expressing their “surprise” at Barcelona’s compensation claim “given that the player fully respected the contract valid at the time”.
FC Goa rope in Spanish winger Lanzarote Panaji, Aug 24 (IANS): FC Goa on Thursday confirmed the signing of Spanish winger Manuel Lanzarote for the fourth season of the Hero Indian Super League (ISL) football tournament. The winger, who was last plying his trade for Real Zaragoza in the second division of Spain, becomes Goa’s sixth foreign recruit. A product of the La Masia, Lanzarote largely operates from the right wing but can also play in a more central attacking midfield position and on the wide left. With over 35 goals in the top two divisions of Spanish football, Lan-
Manuel Lanzarote
zarote brings a wealth of experience with him and is expected to play a vital role in Goa’s charge for the title. Having spent the major part of his career in Spain with the likes of Zaragoza, Espanyol, Deportivo Alaves and Eibar among others, this will be
Lanzarote’s second foray outside Spain having previously turned out for Asteras Tripolis in Greece where he was a part of their Europa League campaign. Having beaten several ISL clubs in the race to his signature, the Goan club will be hopeful Lanzarote can reproduce his form from the previous season where he scored six goals and assisted a further eight in Zaragoza’s campaign. With Lanzarote’s signature, FC Goa’s reinforcement of foreigners is now up to six having signed the likes of Bruno Pinheiro, Ahmed Jahouh, Ferran Corominas, Manuel Arana and Sergio Juste previously.
SL launches inquiry into recent defeats COLOMBO, Aug 24 (Agencies): Sri Lanka is launching an investigation into the woeful state of cricket on the island, the sports minister said Thursday, amid a string of humiliating losses and calls for an administrative overhaul. Dayasiri Jayasekera said he was inviting former administrators, players, sports experts and journalists to brainstorm ideas about how to revive the game, beloved in Sri Lanka. “I am hoping to get all these experts at a single forum and thrash out
issues,” Jayasekera told AFP. “There is no point in blaming administrators or the players without an in-depth study. The idea is not to apportion blame, but address the deficiencies and rally behind the national team.” He has rejected a suggested clear-out of the cricket board, an idea pushed aggressively by former World Cup winning skipper Arjuna Ranatunga following this month’s 3-0 Test whitewash against India on home soil.
Ibrahimovic signs new Utd deal Pakistan back in hockey World Du Plessis to captain T20 World XI
L o n d o n, A u g 2 4 (Agencies): Zlatan Ibrahimovic signed a new oneyear deal with Manchester United on Thursday, saying he is “back to finish what I started” at the English giant. The Swedish striker scored 28 goals in 46 appearances for United last season, but was released in the summer after sustaining a serious knee injury in April. The 35-year-old Ibrahimovic has been undergoing rehabilitation at United over the summer, and convinced United to offer him a new contract. “It was always mine and the club’s intention for me to stay,” Ibrahimovic said. “I cannot wait to get back out on that Old Trafford pitch, but I also know that I have to take my time to make sure that I am

India beat SL by 3 wickets in 2nd ODI
batting collapse for India as they tumbled to 131/7 in 21.5 overs from 109/1 in 15.3 overs. Earler, Kohli won the toss again and Indian bowlers put up another impressive performance to restrict Sri Lanka to 236 for 8. Put into bat, Niroshan Dickwella (31) and Danushka Gunathilaka (19) made a quick start to their innings. Lanka’s 50-mark came up in the 9th over but Bumrah had got his revenge
when he had Dickwella caught at short midwicket in the 8th over. Kusal Mendis (19) then joined Gunathilaka and put on 29 runs for the 2nd wicket before the latter was stumped off Yuzvendra Chahal (2-43) in the 15th over. Skipper Upul Tharanga (9) then edged a simple outswinger from Hardik Pandya (1-24) to slip in the 16th over. Then Mendis was out leg before sweeping off Chahal in the 24th over as Lanka were reduced to 99/4. It seemed a familiar script as Angelo Mathews (20) too followed back to the dressing room, out LBW to Axar Patel (1-30) in the 29th over. But Siriwardana and Kapugedara pulled their team out of the hole with a resolute partnership. They put on 50 runs off 63 balls and helped Lanka past the 200-mark in the 43rd over. Siriwardana was out caught in the 45th over. It star ted another procession of wickets as Lanka’s lower order was restricted from scoring too many runs. Only 24 runs came in the final five overs as Bumrah bowled Kapugedara in the 47th over. He faced 61 balls and hit 2 fours.

Liverpool qualify for Champions League LIVERPOOL, Aug 24 (Agencies): Emre Can struck twice as Liverpool c o nv i n c i n g ly d e f e a t e d Hoffenheim 4-2 at Anfield on Wednesday to reach the Champions League group phase for only the second time since 2010. Germany midfielder Can found the net twice in the opening 21 minutes, either side of Mohamed Salah’s first Anfield goal following his move from Roma, before substitute Mark Uth replied for the visitors. Hoffenheim old boy Roberto Firmino netted a fourth goal in the second half and Sandro Wagner’s late header proved anecdotal as Jurgen Klopp’s men completed a 6-3 aggregate victory. Now unbeaten in 15 home games against German teams, Liverpool will learn their group-stage opponents in Thursday’s draw in Monaco, which will feature five English clubs for the first time. Liverpool join Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, who qualified via the Premier League, and Manchester United, who engineered their own Champions League return by winning last season’s

Europa League. Liverpool will be making their first appearance in the Champions League proper since 201415, when they were eliminated in the group stage. Klopp was once again without Barcelona target Philippe Coutinho but the sizzling interplay of Firmino and Sadio Mane meant he was not missed. The fivetime European champions took a 10th-minute lead against continental first-timers Hoffenheim courtesy of the first of several delightful interchanges between their forward players. Firmino’s delicately weighted through-ball freed
Mane and he back-heeled the ball into the path of Can, whose shot found the net via a heavy deflection off the sliding Havard Nordtveit. Egyptian winger Salah struck in the 18th minute, tapping in from close range after Georginio Wijnaldum’s shot from Firmino’s leftwing cut-back bounced back off the right-hand post. Three minutes later another Mane back-heel yielded another goal, the Senegal winger’s touch releasing Firmino, whose cross was adroitly volleyed home by Can. Hoffenheim coach Julian Nagelsmann took swift
action, sending on forward Uth for defender Nordtveit, and four minutes later Dejan Lovren’s loose pass allowed the substitute to reduce the arrears with an angled drive. After Wijnaldum and Mane had gone close, Liverpool added a fourth in the 63rd minute when skipper Jordan Henderson robbed his Hoffenheim counterpart Kevin Vogt and charitably teed up Firmino for a tapin. Wagner completed the scoring with a header from Andrej Kramaric’s left-wing cross, but by then all hope of a Hoffenheim comeback had vanished.
Sakshi, Vinesh crash out of World C’ships
Sakshi Malik competes against Luisa Niemesch.
PARIS, Aug 24 (PTI): Olympic bronze medalist Sakshi Malik crashed out in the first round while compatriot Vinesh Phogat’s campaign also ended in a whimper as Indian grapplers continued with dismal show at World Wrestling Championships. After three listless days, the onus was on Sakshi and Vinesh to end India’s medal drought but both failed to
live up to the expectations. Sakshi and Vinesh went down in their respective Round of 16 bouts. Sakshi was stunned by Luisa Niemesch of Germany 1-3 in women’s 60kg, while two-time junior world champion Victoria Anthony of USA got a fall over Vinesh Phogat in 48kg. It was a humiliating defeat for Vinesh, who was unfortunately during the Rio
Olympics. This was after Vinesh had earlier won her qualification round. Other Indians in the fray on Thursday - Sheetal Tomar (53kg) and Navjot Kaur (69kg) - also bowed out of the tournament with contrasting performances. Navjot was beaten 5-10 by Mongolia’s Ochirbat Nasanburmaa in 69kg, but surprisingly lesser-known Sheetal emerged as the lone Indian woman wrestler to win her Round of 16 round when she got the better of Jessica Mcbain of Australia 10-0 in 53kg. However, Sheetal could not maintain her rhythm and lost the quarter-finals against Estera Dobre of Romania, going down 2-4. There were high expectations from Sakshi, who became the first Indian woman wrestler to win an Olympic medal at the Rio Games last year but she hardly put up a fight against a lower-ranked opponent.
