Cong, BJP spar over RBI fund transfer Central bank approves transfer of Rs 1.76 lakh cr to govt NEW DELHI, AUG 27 (PTI): Reserve Bank of India (RBI)’s decision to transfer Rs 1.76 lakh crore of its surplus reserves to the government triggered a political storm on Tuesday with the Congress accusing the government of “stealing” the central bank’s money to hide its economic failures and the BJP hitting back, saying looting is the Congress’ “expertise”. Asserting that the decision to take such a huge amount from the RBI reserves will have “catastrophic” consequences, the Congress alleged that the government was pushing the economy towards bankruptcy and an economic emergency. BJP countered these charges, saying the money is being used for national interest. The opposition party’s stinging criticism came a day after the RBI approved the transfer of a record Rs 1.76 lakh crore dividend and surplus reserves to the government

P Chidambaram after being produced at a CBI court in the INX media case, in New Delhi, Monday. (PTI)

NEW DELHI, AUG 27 (PTI): The Supreme Court Tuesday extended till tomorrow protection from arrest granted to former finance minister P Chidambaram in the INX Media money laundering case. A bench of Justices R Banumathi and A S Bo-

panna said it would hear the arguments of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Chidambaram’s two petitions, including the challenge to remand orders, on Wednesday. Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for Chidambaram, filed an application

seeking direction to the ED to produce the transcripts of the questioning conducted on December 19 last year and January 1 and January 21 this year in the case. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for ED, said he would like to reply to the fresh application during the course of his arguments. The transcripts will show whether Chidambaram was evasive during his questioning, as alleged by the ED, Sibal said. He also told the bench that the ED cannot place documents in the court randomly and “behind the back” for seeking Chidambaram’s custody. “They are just producing documents at random and saying this is part of the case diary,” Sibal said, adding, “They cannot place the documents behind the back and seek custody of accused.” Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, also

appearing for Chidambaram, referred to the constitutional and legal provisions and said that fundamental right of citizens under Article 21 (right to life and personal liberty) cannot be suspended. Singhvi argued that the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) was amended in 2009 whereas the allegations in the case are of 2007-2008. “You try and paint a person as a kingpin when these alleged offences did not exist at that time,” he told the court during the arguments which will continue in the post lunch session. The apex court had on Monday extended till Tuesday the protection from arrest given to Chidambaram in the INX Media money laundering case lodged by the ED. Chidambaram was the Union minister for finance as also home during the UPA-I and UPA-II government from 2004 to 2014.

Priyanka slams govt on MCF corporatisation

RAE BARELI (UP), AUG 27 (PTI): Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday lashed out at the Centre for its proposed corporatisation of the rail coach factory in Uttar Pradesh’s Rae Bareli district, claiming that it would eventually lead to the unit’s privatisation. “The central government wants to mercilessly corporatise the rail coach factory,” Priyanka Gandhi said while addressing the Modern Coach Factory (MCF) employees who are on an agitation against the Union government’s recent corporatisation plan. “What does it mean? It means that after corporatisation, the next step will be giving it to the government’s industrialist friends, leading to its privatisation,” she told the employees, some of whom were donning black T-shirts with the slogan: ‘Revoke corporatisation of MCF’. Workers in the factory have been staging a protest ever since the Ministry of Railways has envisaged corporatisation of its seven production units and associated workshops under one entity called the Indian Railway Rolling Stock Company. Rae Bareli MP Sonia Gandhi had raised the issue of corporatisation in the Lok Sabha on July 1, accusing the government of selling the country’s assets to private players at a throwaway price. “The real-

ity is that the BJP wants to bring a new ‘company raj’, through which factories, PSUs, resources and money of the country are handed over to some selected industrialists,” Priyanka Gandhi said. “This is the only basis and thinking behind corporatisation.” “You have fears that it will be corporatised on August 31 (Saturday), after which it will be privatised and you will lose your jobs,” the Congress general secretary in charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh said. She pointed out that there were many industries in the country where the situation was the same, adding that the government was starting corporatisation and “privatisation” from the unit

in Rae Bareli. In a tweet, Priyanka Gandhi extended full support to the workers, saying the factory was a symbol of the sacrifice of farmers, struggles of the people and her mother Sonia Gandhi’s commitment towards them. “We stand with the movement of employees and workers. The Congress will fight this battle from Parliament to the roads,” she tweeted. “This (the factory) has provided jobs to thousands of families. The BJP government, through its corporatisation, is taking the first step towards handing it over to private companies.” Priyanka Gandhi also hit out at the government over the “weak” state of economy in the country, saying she had seen adver-

tisements of job losses due to the situation. “You must be aware of the economic condition. Must have read it in newspapers, though our media friends do not say much,” she said. “But I have seen advertisements of mill associations, tea garden associations that we are drowning and save us. Advertisements are being given that the economy is so weak, jobs are going out of hand.” “And it has dawned on the central government that where the factory production is double, corporatise it and privatise it,” she said. “You can think what their intention is.” The Congress leader underlined that big institu-

5th Death Anniversary

3rd DEATH ANNIVERSARY Psalms 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly ones. It is your hard work and loving sacrifice in good parenting that has made us the persons that we are today. Though we cannot hear or see you anymore yet we always feel you; you are forever placed in our hearts. We thank our God for every remembrance of you.

tions like the railways and public sector units (PSUs) were set up for strengthening and uniting the nation for development and employment. “If one by one they are damaged, you can think what the future will be,” she said. Priyanka Gandhi also recalled the association of her mother with the people of Rae Bareli and her role in setting up the factory. “When this factory was announced in 2007 and the then state government had refused land for it, she (Sonia Gandhi) struggled with the people here for setting up this factory,” Priyanka Gandhi said. “She struggled for employment to the people of Rae Bareli and for strengthening the economy here.” The Congress leader said Sonia Gandhi used to come to Rae Bareli to see the progress of the factory work. “I know how happy she was when this factory was set up, not for herself or her political interest, but for you all that it will create employment not just in the factory, but also in the surrounding areas,” Priyanka Gandhi said. Over 2,000 people work in the factory besides others in the surrounding areas, she said, claiming that the factory was running in profit now and its production was double than its capacity.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

28 August 2018 “You keep track of all my sorrows, you have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.” Psalm 56:8 A year has passed since you left us but it still feels like only yesterday. Though we know that tears cannot build a stairway nor can memories build a lane to heaven for us to bring you down, as God has His reasons for all His doings, we know that this happened for the best. Our hearts still ache with sadness knowing that you will never be here for us anymore. But the happy moments and memories will fill up the empty place in our hearts and that is what will give us the strength and the courage to move on. Until we meet again our comfort abides in the promise of Christ our saviour. Loving wife, son & relatives K-2321 K Y M C

Setting good examples

E

very society has its own set of problems and the difference between a progressive and regressive society is about how problems are addressed. Much has been written about the downtrend in Nagaland involving corruption in all levels of society and the inability or absence of corrective measures. One of the oft repeated phrase is the lack of good examples. When it comes to following good examples, perhaps people, church, young people, the bureaucracy and elected leaders of Nagaland need to seriously reflect over the present and seriously note the downward momentum. Naga society is pressed on all sides by isms and hegemonic tendencies. The ordinary people feel helpless and frustration among them is growing. When elected representatives themselves exhibit moral responsibility, it only further adds to the efforts of good governance among the bureaucrats. In politics of probity, politicians in power and those not in power should accept the fact that they are responsible for maintaining people’s trust. Money power has grown to monstrous dimension due to the effect of expensive elections. Politicians who have been elected through merit and experience with a clean mandate, understand that they have to perform. It would be helpful to learn a lesson from the Mizos who have overtaken Nagaland in many areas because they possess a “unique” feature – a sense of commitment and responsibility to society. Mizo society may be homogenous but that is not the reason why the people hold transparency and accountability at high value. The influence of the Mizo church dominates the lives of the people. There was a report about how a church in Mizoram, despite dire need for funds for church building, returned back money to a donor member because it was sourced through unethical means. Later, when newspaper reports disclosed, that the money was part of the amount siphoned off. That itself demands character and courage not to compromise. A society without conscience and without adherence to the tenets of faith, cannot provide justice and opportunities for its people. These are essential ingredient of the faith which provides ingredients for effective governance. A transparent and accountable system brings participation of all citizens in having equal opportunities to participate in decision making , either directly or through legitimate intermediate institutions that represent their interests. Governance also means rule of law, transparency, responsiveness, consensus orientation, equity, effectiveness and efficiency and accountability. Providing efficient service, today assumes importance in the global context as it is an indication of the ability of the system to promote true progress when so much has been made available within the frame of the system. Unless some drastic changes are imposed, any plan for progress will only regress and perhaps that is what has been the manifestation. That is the lesson to churches that have made building construction as their god. The Mizo church has been instrumental in creating a very high level of consciousness on social and religious values in the state. Unless the church leaders, who claim to be privy to the biblical tenets show the way, obviously, the laity or ordinary members cannot be expected do otherwise. This is a good example that is needed in Nagaland today.

DailyDevotion Living Your Theology

Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you… —John 12:35 Beware of not acting upon what you see in your moments on the mountaintop with God. If you do not obey the light, it will turn into darkness. “If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!” (Matthew 6:23). The moment you forsake the matter of sanctification or neglect anything else on which God has given you His light, your spiritual life begins to disintegrate within you. Continually bring the truth out into your real life, working it out into every area, or else even the light that you possess will itself prove to be a curse. The most difficult person to deal with is the one who has the prideful self-satisfaction of a past experience, but is not working that experience out in his everyday life. If you say you are sanctified, show it. The experience must be so genuine that it shows in your life. Beware of any belief that makes you self-indulgent or self-gratifying; that belief came from the pit of hell itself, regardless of how beautiful it may sound. Your theology must work itself out, exhibiting itself in your most common everyday relationships. Our Lord said, “…unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:20). In other words, you must be more moral than the most moral person you know. You may know all about the doctrine of sanctification, but are you working it out in the everyday issues of your life? Every detail of your life, whether physical, moral, or spiritual, is to be judged and measured by the standard of the atonement by the Cross of Christ.

Post-mortem

Western Sumi Hoho’s ‘Operation Salvage’ T he Wester n Sumi Hoho (WSH) is of the firm opinion that civil society plays the most important role in a democracy and more so in the Naga society which from the ancestral age has been practicing the purest form of democracy. For the Nagas in today’s time with a clean cut history but confused with the present, it is the civil society which has to be the bridge by playing that definite role to not only pressure the government of the day but to the society itself which it represents. It is only in doing so that civil society can redeem itself and bring about any semblance of the desired change that is much needed in the Naga society today. Yes, it is the duty of the civil society to highlight the plight of the people in order to compel the government to take remedial measures. However, the kernel of truth remains in the fact that it is only when the people are receptive to change, and by having changed, can any remedial measures that the government undertake show any result. It is here where the real work of civil society begins – to educate and re-educate the people to become receptive to change and thereby truly change, and not just by championing the cause of the people for change which is infinite. The Western Sumi Hoho is committed to this change and therefore is touring all the areas under its jurisdiction for this very purpose, and also, at the same time, get to know the pulse of the people, first hand. The Wester n Sumi Hoho have no illusions other than the truth that change in our western Sumi society can come about only if we rivet back to our roots and rebuilt our work culture in order to redeem ourselves from the culture of dependency and striving for avenues of easy earning and living. It is all so evident today that the root cause of all the evils in our society is the trend of striving for easy earning and living. And this trend has not even spared the church. The fall back option of our students after everything fails (and that includes the option of joining the underground) seems to be theology as it offers the next best means

of easy earning. The Wester n Sumi Hoho maintains that the main reason for unemployment is the wrong education and thinking in the society that there are no job avenues while others, non-Nagas, think there are so much job opportunities in Nagaland. It is so very true that government jobs are the most stable and the easiest source of income, but the stark reality is that all government departments in the state are oversaturated with employees. It definitely is time for western Sumis, young and old, to change the mindset. It definitely is time for we, the western Sumis, to seriously dedicate more time and resources towards work options available in the private sector. For far too long we have undermined the importance and significance of work in sectors such as farming, teaching, journalism, entrepreneurship and other non-archetypical private jobs. The Western Sumi Hoho today takes it as its bounden duty to foray and sincerely attempt to inculcate within the people the work culture and the dignity of labor which is so very missing in our society today. Nagas in general today have to understand that Article 371(A) is proving to be a double edged sword. Our pioneering fathers fought and sacrificed for it and it was meant for the good of the future generations. It was meant to be a single edged sword to preserve our culture – the culture of work. But today, having confined acquiring of knowledge only into classrooms and deviating from the informal Naga traditional education which automatically prepared every Naga individual to attain full humanity, what was meant to be our advantage is turning out to be our disadvantage. It is because the education which was oral and oriented towards the practical is no more there. The lessons then taught were according to the needs and expectations of the community and hence every individual was accountable. Each family and village was solely responsible for the education of its young men and women. It was the way of life which encompassed every aspect of the socio, cultural, economic and po-

litical life of the Nagas. The learnings were not theoretical or academic but vocational and practical oriented covering every dimensions of life. Everything about our culture revolved around work and moral character, and therefore thrived. It is the primary objective of the western sumi hoho to bring about an awareness, and thereby change, in all its area of jurisdiction as to this anomaly in the present lifestyle of today and therefore the need to preserve and start practicing our real culture to meet the challenges of today’s time. The erosion of Naga work culture can best be exemplified by our total failure to maintain and sustain even the one and only big industry that we have – or rather had. The Tuli paper mill. We failed simply because we forsaked work culture and opted for easy money. The greater good was at stake but it did not prick our conscience. Our pioneering fathers never expected this of us. They had the vision that the work culture of the Nagas would be channeled into modern industry, and therefore, demanded and established the Tuli paper mill as a peace package after the signing of the ceasefire on September 6, 1964. We could not sustain even what we had and yet talk about lack of avenues. Rajiv Gandhi, during his prime ministership, gave Tuli mill a second chance through the setting up of BIFR (Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction) in Jan. 1987 which kept alive the paper mill but was dissolved by the Narendra Modi government in Dec of 2016 as per provision of Insolvency and Bankruptcy code. Since then the only industry of Nagaland has been reduced to cutting bamboo chips for paper mills in Assam. We were never satisfied with an egg a day and therefore killed and ate the mother hen. There is much talk these days about the ILP, RIIN and the IBI issue. The Western Sumi Hoho has made it sufficiently clear that it supports the government in all of these issues. Naga tribes are indigenous and Sumis – be it Northern, Southern, Eastern, or Western – are all one of the 16 tribes and will always remain indigenous. As for the IBI issue, it is very

important and more so for Dimapur and the Western Sumis. The Western Sumi Hoho is of the opinion that civil societies in Nagaland cannot afford to hunt with the hound and run with the hare. Evicting non-locals or the IBIs from Nagaland is not a problem because they can be evicted anytime if the Naga people want them evicted. The only problem lies within ourselves. How prepared are we? Let us be pragmatic. Are Nagas prepared to shovel stone chips or even the easier gravel sand in the sun? Do we have the expertise or the spine to respond to every plumbing, electrical, mechanical, or technical need that is just a call away for a nominal fee, and which we take for granted? Are we prepared to take the plough and work the field in our Dimapur sun? Do we know the where withals of conducting business and offering services at the best price and convenience of the consumers? Do we know how to bake or lay bricks or the difference between an external and an internal combustion engine? Are the IBIs taking away our jobs in road construction or sanitation even though we are prepared to work the same? Forget about digging, do we even know how deep is our well and when and how to clean it? The list goes on. We simply do not have answers. And it is the answers which the Western Sumi Hoho is concerned about, and not about raising questions. Nagas today do not have answers as much as the people of Uganda had in the 1970s. In 1972, against the backdrop of Indophobia where the local Ugandans thought that the Indians were taking over jobs and business, the Government of Uganda ordered the expulsion of all the South Asian people accusing them of commercial malpractice. President Idi Amin ordered and defended the expulsion by arguing that he was giving Uganda back to the ethnic Ugandans. However, after the expulsion, Ugandans were so ill prepared that normal life literally came to a standstill in Uganda and Uganda suffered the poorest growth rate in the whole of improvised Africa. It is altogether another story that Ugandans

had to welcome South East Asians, chiefly the Indians, back to Uganda in order to revive their economy. Nagas today boast of a literacy rate which is nearly at 80% and the western sumi people too have contributed to the high literacy rate in the state. However, instead of being a blessing it has turned out to be a bane, if not a curse. It should have humbled us to value the virtue of our culture, but instead, it has stiffened our neck and spine. It has made us modern but certainly not civilized. We have miserably failed to understand that literacy does not necessarily mean ‘educated’. Ordinary lay Naga youths today are being swayed by the easy living culture of the pompous in the name of Naga sovereignty. Educated Nagas have laid waste their education by opting to forget that being educated means never forgetting our roots which is to eat by the sweat of our brow. This is the basic fundamental which our Christian faith demand of us – from the old testament to the new. We completely contradict it by our acceptance of the easy and yet claim to be better Christians. Is not the Church silent on this issue? Where does that leave the people when faith itself is questioned? Where then is the saving grace? The saving grace for the people can come only from civil society. And this is where civil society leaders come into direct focus because it is in the interest of the people to have a leader who had to be there and not because he wanted to be there. Kohima may be the capital of Nagaland but Dimapur is its soul. It is the soul which has to be kept well for the development of the body. The WSH is not shying away from the fact that it more of the Sumi people who are in the news for all the wrong reasons in Dimapur. Be it in crimes such as extortions, intimidations, kidnapping, vehicle thefts, counterfeit, peddling drugs or the liquor business, Sumis are at the front and never behind. And it is because of this section of criminals that the whole community is literally being tainted, categorized and labeled. The main worry is that criminalization of our

society is increasing with each passing day as more and more are being lured into this criminal web. The interest of the whole community and of the future generation is being compromised simply because of the unchecked rise of criminalization in the society. The WSH understands that it is the socio-economic problems that have created the environment under which all these illegal activities thrive. The Hoho therefore intends to focus its attention on the social environment and play a pro-active role in order to check this anomaly in our society. It is a tragedy that the valued custom of our ancestral tradition of according status and freedom to our women folk is being so abused today. Nothing can go more pervert than our Naga women becoming prostitutes. We are people with a history of the tradition where much premium is particularly placed on the chastity of women. The premium that Sumi people accords to our women have been totally negated by our women themselves, and this cannot be tolerated and remain unchecked anymore. Our boys with their empty pockets no more gets the attention of our girls who all have become materialistic, and to maintain the lifestyle, sleeps with any Tom, Dick, or Harry. Our boys need to start working and earn by the sweat of the brow, and our girls need to stop working their flesh to earn. Addressing this moral degradation is one of the main issue that the WSH has on its agenda. This is a fundamental issue which is a grave concern for all the Nagas and can only be checked with the cooperation of all. What is the use of a body makeover if the soul is lost. We have to first salvage the moral depravity into which Nagas have fallen deep. This is Western Sumi Hoho’s “Operation Salvage”, and in this operation, the WSH seeks the co-operation of all civil society organizations, the civil administration, the police, and all individual citizens of Dimapur.

values (sovereignty &unification) while functioning like different political parties within a nation and thus treat each other as fellow-nationalists. Or worse, if their egos and past grievances would still keep them from uniting, then they would only end up as the biggest losers, because some other leaders who don’t have this sort of “unwanted baggage” might rise up to take that opportunity, sooner or later. Third, they should help their struggling fellow-Nagas to become economically independent so as to catapult their movement to political independence. Deploying their sense of patriotism to help their people stand on their own feet should be their top priority. Otherwise, the common people in their homeland will continue to live as dependents on India. Fourth, they should have a strategic plan to lead the common people from here to there, from inaction to action, from sitting still to seizing the future. And that could mean having a step-by-step process which could be as follows: (1) identifying newspaper nor that of the

the problem – that something is wrong; (2) making people understand that it doesn’t have to be this way – that things can be better; (3) empowering people to realize that it’s up to them to bring change; (4) helping people to believe that they can do it; (5) determining what needs to be done in terms of action plans; and (6) enabling people to act. When a process like this is in place and working, people will start rising up to the challenge and plunging into action. Today, the common people are not expecting the Naga nationalists to take up arms and fight against the Indian Army. They are not even expecting them to bring anything from India, let alone sovereignty. What, then, does the Naga public want? To unite the Nagas into one formidable force, instill confidence in their people for self-determination, help them stand on their own feet, and mobilize everyone for nation-building. But the question is: Are today’s Naga national workers willing to live up to the people’s expectations as true nationalists would do? Mazie Nakhro Editor in any manner.

basin, identification and involvement of stakeholders and building consensus for design and development of strategies and approaches, assessment of ongoing forestry activities of the States, examining the possibility of allied and other income generation activities, formulation of strategies, development of approaches and plan activities for project implementation. Principal chief conservator of forests Rajat S Pal said, while formulating policies for the project in Nagaland, two things would have to be considered – first, rivers had to be identified whether they were east or west flowing and, secondly, land belonged to the people. He expressed the need to involve neighbouring provinces in China and stressed on the importance of geology of the areas involved. Open discussion was held focusing on existing reports/work done by departments/organisations, data format, agro-forestry/forestry/ other models developed and tested by various agencies, future plans for forestry intervention and planning for follow-up action. The programme was organised by RFRI in collaboration with the Government of Nagaland.

BJP, NDPP leaders meet bishop, NBCC office-bearers should be further cemented since, as a Christian State, the church played an integral part not only in the spiritual growth of the citizens but also in the allround developmental and policy-making process in the State. BJP and NDPP leaders expressed their grati-

tude to both the bishop and NBCC office-bearers for giving their candid and honest opinions on all matters, adding that it was their prayer that such open discussions would continue in the future, which would be for the benefit and growth of Nagaland and its people.

DIMAPUR, AUG 27 (NPN): A State-level consultation meeting on preparation of detailed project report (DPR) for rejuvenation of river Brahmaputra through forestry interventions in Nagaland was held at the conference hall of chief secretary’s office, Civil Secretariat in Kohima on Tuesday. In his address, chief secretary Temjen Toy remarked that many Nagas did not realise that water crisis was becoming more and more alarming. Rainfall had been declining over the years, only the intensity had increased by way of cloudbursts and other weather phenomena. Against such a backdrop, he said “we have the Brahmaputra Rejuvenation Project coming our way and Nagaland is an important part of this project.” Speaking on the nine policies of the project, he said it encompassed many important issues, including adaptation policies to tackle climate change that would involve villagers and land owners of the State. According to DIPR, Scientist- E & Project Coordinator, Dr Dhruba J Das gave a power-point presentation where he stated that the primary objective of the meeting was to sensitise and ensure better cooperation among stakeholders and

Mumbai, Aug 27 (PTI): The rupee on Tuesday spurted by 54 paise, its biggest single-day gain in more than five months, to close at a one-week high of 71.48 against the US dollar, boosted by positive sentiment over the fiscal situation. The Reserve Bank’s decision to transfer a record Rs 1.76 lakh crore dividend and surplus reserves to the government revived the rupee, forex traders said.

The GDP data is due to be released at 12:00 GMT on Friday. If the forecast is realised, it would be the weakest start in the first three months of a fiscal year in seven years. “The deceleration in growth that commenced in the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2019 is likely to have continued,” said Rini Sen, India economist at ANZ. “A host of high frequency indicators - consumption and investment have continued to weaken.

Bengaluru, Aug 27 (Agencies): The Indian economy likely expanded at its slowest pace in more than five years in the AprilJune quarter, driven by weak investment growth and sluggish demand, according to economists polled by Reuters. According to Reuters, that would reinforce concerns seen in the minutes from the central bank’s August meeting, which showed policymakers were worried about weak growth and indicated further rate cuts in the next few months to boost the slowing economy. The poll median showed the economy was expected to have grown at a year-on-year pace of 5.7 per cent in the June quar-

The most prominent ones include auto sales, output of consumer durables, cement and steel production.” Domestic passenger vehicle sales in July dived at the steepest pace in nearly two decades and declined for the ninth straight month in July, largely due to a liquidity crunch causing huge job cuts in the sector. These measures, in addition to the risk of further escalation of the US and China trade war are weighing on demand and business confidence in India. The median response to an extra question in the poll, which was taken Aug. 21-26, showed the average growth rate for the current fiscal year 2019-2020 is likely to be 6.5 per cent despite a weak start. But it is a downgrade from 6.8 per cent predicted just last month and well below the RBI’s projection of 6.9 per cent. The RBI lowered its outlook for the fiscal year 2019-2020 at its August meeting. It has cut a total of 110 basis points in the repo rate since February, which includes an unconventional cut of 35 basis points earlier this month to 5.40 per cent.

New Delhi, Aug 27 (PTI): In a huge push for women hygiene, the government on Tuesday slashed price of sanitary napkins sold from its Jan Aushadhi Kendras to just Re 1 per piece from Rs 2.50 earlier. The biodeg radable sanitary napkin ‘Suvidha’ sold in a pack of four are available at the subsidised price in designated centres across the country. “I think that this is one of the greatest achievements that has been done by the Prime Minister Modi for the poor people across the country,” Minister for Chemicals and Fertilizers D V Sadananda Gowda said in his address here. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, PM Narendra Modi had assured that within 100 days poor women of the country will be provided sanitary napkins at Re 1. Now, that has become a reality, he added. In similar vein, Minister of State for Chemicals and Fertilizers Mansukh Mandaviya said the government has today launched oxo-biodegradable sanitary napkins at Re 1. These napkins under the brand name Suvidha will be available at 5,500 Jan Aushadhi Kendras across the country. Empowerment of women has been a key initiative of Modi government, he added.

Brazil rejects G7 aid for Amazon fires

Rejecting the aid, Bolsonaro on late Monday said Brazil was not a ‘colonial territory’ and that there was a ‘hidden agenda’ behind Macron’s offer

B r a s i l i a , Au g 2 7 (IANS): Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has rejected a $22 million aid package offered by G7 countries to help battle fierce forest fires in the Amazon rainforest, which is often regarded as the planet’s “lungs”. The G7 aid offer was announced by French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday. Rejecting the aid, Bolsonaro on late Monday said Brazil was not a “colonial territory” and that there was “a hidden agenda” behind Macron’s offer. Bolsonaro’s Defence Minister said the fires in the

Amazon were “not out of control”. Commenting on the G7 offer of aid, Bolsonaro’s Chief of Staff Onyx Lorenzoni told the Globo news website: “Thanks, but maybe those resources are more relevant to reforest Europe.” “Macron cannot even avoid a predictable fire in a church that is part of the world’s heritage, and he wants to give us lessons for our country?” Lorenzoni added, in a reference to the fire that hit Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris in April. Brazil’s Foreign Minister Ernesto Araujo tweeted on Monday: “No one needs a ‘new initiative for

the Amazon’ as Macron suggests when there are already several mechanisms under the UN Climate Convention to fund the fight against deforestation.” In a joint news conference Monday with Chilean President Sebastian Pinera, Macron announced that G7 countries would allocate $22 million in emergency funding to help with efforts to prevent fires in the Amazon rainforest. He also said France would provide military support in the region to fight the fires. A record number of fires are burning in Brazil, mostly in the Amazon,

according to the country’s space research agency, Inpe. Macron last week described the fires as an “international crisis” and called for an emergency meeting of G7 countries regarding the fires. In an interview with French public broadcaster France 2 at the conclusion of the G7 summit in Biarritz, Macron said Bolsonaro’s attitude towards deforestation could derail ratification of the free trade agreement between the EU and the Mercosur group. “We respect your sovereignty. It’s your country,” said Macron, before insisting that the Amazon fires are a global issue. “The Amazon forest is a subject for the whole planet… We cannot allow you to destroy everything,” he added. In response to this, the Brazilian Foreign Minister said: “The efforts made by some political currents to extrapolate real environmental issues by transforming them into a fabricated ‘crisis’ as a pretext for introducing mechanisms for external control of the Amazon are very evident. “Brazil will not accept any initiative that involves relativizing sovereignty over its territory, whatever the pretext and whatever the guise.”

Despite the instructions, secret torture cells continue to operate at several places in Pakistan.

L a h o r e , Au g 2 7 (IANS): Secret “torture cells” being run by the police at several places in Pakistan has forced the provincial police chiefs to issue policy guidelines with strict directions not to torture suspects, a media report said. Despite the instructions, secret torture cells continue to operate at several places in Pakistan, Dawn news said in its report on Tuesday. In Lahore, one such torture cell operated allegedly by the Gujjarpura Station House Officer (SHO) Muhammad Raza Jafri along with three constables was unearthed in the provincial capital on Monday. Two handcuffed and four other men were recov-

ered from the cell set up at a local office of the Forest Department. The cell was unearthed by officials of the anti-corruption department, who were in the field for investigation of a case, an official told Dawn. He said during their investigation, the anti-corruption officials heard cries, traced them to a building located right in the middle of a jungle and filmed whatever they saw. They found six locked men, including one who was bedridden and in serious condition apparently due to third-degree torture by the suspected policemen. In the footage recorded on a mobile phone, the man is seen telling the officials that his backbone and hips

pleted on July 25. Turkey signed a contract with Russia in April 2017 to purchase the advanced S-400 systems. Tensions between the US and Turkey have escalated ever since over the deal as Washington claims that the S-400 system would be incompatible with the NATO system and may expose its confidential military information to Russia. Washington has repeatedly threatened to halt Turkey’s purchase of F-35 fighters if Ankara goes ahead with the delivery of the S-400s.

Idiots’ fame ‘Rancho’s School’ in Ladakh Taylor Swift calls out White House at VMAs ‘3wants to be known by its actual name T D aylor Swift called out the White House after she won the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards’ top prize — video of the year — for her LGBTQ pride anthem, “You Need To Calm Down.” The “Lover” songstress opened the show at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., with a performance of the hit song. Swift was flanked by colorful dancers, then brought it back to her roots by bringing out her guitar to sing the title track of her new album “Lover.” The words “Equality Act” were shown over the 29-year-old pop star’s performance, a reference to her support of the Equality Act legislation that would prevent discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. After winning the top prize, the 29-year-old pop star and a number of cast members from the video appeared onstage to accept the honor. “I just want to say that this is a fan-voted award. So, I first want to say thank you to the fans because in this video, several points were made, so you voting for this video means that you want a world where we’re all treated equally,” Swift said.

She then looked down at her wrist and tapped on it, seemingly referencing a watch. The video for “You Need to Calm Down” -which also won the video for good honor -- finishes with the words: “Let’s show our pride by demanding that, on a national level,

our laws truly treat all of our citizens equally.” Before the video’s release, Swift announced that she supported the Equality Act. Taylor Swift has also shared a diary entry written shortly after Kanye West‘s infamous stage invasion at the MTV VMAs. The rapper rushed the stage at the 2009 ceremony in protest over Swift’s victory after she won Best Female Video for ‘You Belong With Me’. As he argued that Beyonce should have won for ‘Single Ladies’, West shouted: “Yo, Taylor, I’m really happy for you I’mma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time! Of all time!” Now, ten years on, Swift has released a diary entry that reflects her feelings on the event. Included in the deluxe edition of ‘Lover’, the entry sees Swift

The pop star took the stage Monday evening at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. to perform her latest single “Slide Away,” which many believe to be about her estranged husband, actor Liam Hemsworth. Donning just a black mini dress, multiple wrist and neck accessories, along with a wet-hair look, Cyrus, 26, stood center stage under a single spotlight and belted out one of her most transparent performances in recent history with a

black-and-white camera filter setting the ambiance for her set. The song is rumored to paint a picture of Cyrus’ 10-year relationship with the “Hunger Games” actor. In the tune, Cyrus croons, “Move on, we’re not 17 / I’m not who I used to be / You said that everything changed / You’re right I’m grown now.” The YouTube video also released with the track has a static image of a whiskey bottle floating in a pool surrounded by pills, driving home other lyrics: “I want my house in the hills / Don’t want the whiskey and pills / I don’t give up easily / But I don’t think I’m down.” Sources close to Cyrus previously

accused Hemsworth of spawning the split with his alleged drinking and drug use. Hemsworth hasn’t commented on the allegations. “Everyone always thinks Miley is problematic and immature and a hardcore partier while he’s this chill surfer dude, but that’s actually [not accurate],” People magazine reported, citing a friend of the couple. “Liam parties with his friends and Miley thinks he should’ve grown out of that by now.” Fans on social media praised Cyrus’ performance calling it the best performance of the night. “Miley Cyrus had the best performance of the night #VMAs,” wrote one Twitter user, while another echoed the sentiment, writing “You can feel the sadness in her voice.” Cyrus was reportedly blindsided by Hemsworth’s decision to officially end their marriage after the Australian actor officially filed court papers on Wednesday to dissolve the relationship, according to People.

ruk Padma Karpo School in Ladakh, popularly known as ‘Rancho’s School’, is delighted about the fame the Aamir Khan-starrer ‘3 Idiots’ has brought to it, but the 18year-old institution does not want the Bollywood connect to overshadow its original identity and values. The local people still call it Druk Padma Karpo School and they take a lot of pride in the Buddhist tradition and philosophy with which it was created, principal Stanzin Kunzang said. The institution in this cold desert of Ladakh imparts world-class education to children of this Himalayan region, including those of nomadic tribes, she said. Like Kunzang, teachers and students of the school in Shey, about 15 km from Leh city, want people to identify it as ‘Druk Padma Karpo School’ and not as ‘Rancho’s School’. The school’s sprawling campus is designed like a Buddhist Mandala, and the main gate does not have the word Rancho. Only two big, polished wooden panels on either side of the gate show the name ‘Druk Padma Karpa School’ and the architect firm which built the institution. “We are very happy about the fame the film ‘3 Idiots’ brought to our school, but

beyond a certain point, the crowd of tourists became practically unmanageable, as they would just try to wander in from all possible entry points to catch a glimpse of that famous ‘Rancho Wall’ as seen in the film, and click photos,” she said. People need to understand that this is a school and the primary purpose of this place is to impart education in a proper atmosphere, Kunzang said, adding “tourist influx had made life difficult, and we have girl students as well, so safety is a concern too.” The 2009 blockbuster was partly shot in the campus of the school which began in 2001.The wall of a building on its campus was featured in the closing of the film in which one of the characters, Chatur, tries to urinate on it but gets an electric shock as two kids dangle a wire with a bulb from the first floor.

While the original wall – the ‘iconic idiotic wall’ -- part of a building which was damaged in the 2010 flash floods still remains on the campus, the first floor, earlier made of bricks has been replaced with wooden structures typically used in Ladakh. Khan had visited the school once after the floods, Kunzang said. The wall shows a dangling glowing bulb, a flying Himalayan crane, a rainbow behind the clouds. Students of class 6 and above are generally aware of this famed wall. Keeping in mind, the influx of tourists from all parts of India and few parts of the world, a duplicate wall has been created on the other side of the school in another area, with an iron mesh door separating the two sides, carrying a sign – ‘Private gate, no public thoroughfare’, so that no tourist can wander in the academic campus.

Reliance Entertainment and Phantom Films have joined hands to produce the ambitious project, according to a press release. Kota Rani lived and ruled Kashmir in 13th century AD and was the principal protagonist of a highly dramatic period after which Shah Mir dynasty became the first foreign rulers of the state. She was a great administrator and military strategist. Madhu Mantena of Phantom Film said the queen’s story deserved to be told. “It’s a matter of great surprise that as Indians we don’t know enough or at all about a personality like Kota Rani. Her life was extremely dramatic and she is perhaps one of the most able woman rulers that India produced,” said Mantena.

1-0, with Napoli edging a seven-goal thriller at Fiorentina 4-3. “We started off well with the right intensity and desire, respecting the idea of what I wanted,” said Conte. “Then at 2-0 I didn’t like what I saw from the lads. Too relaxed, losing intensity under pressure. “We need to improve both mentally and physically but I am very happy and satisfied, I like working with these guys who have always shown great commitment. “Let’s celebrate until midnight, from tomorrow we think of Cagliari, it will be a difficult trip,” he added of next weekend’s game in Sardinia.

Milan, Aug 27 (AFP): Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku scored on his Inter Milan debut as new coach Antonio Conte’s reign got off to a perfect start with a 4-0 win over promoted Lecce on Monday. “There was a spark, but now we must become dynamite,” said Conte as he begins his campaign to topple eight-time holders Juventus. Lukaku — a 65 million euros ($73 million) summer signing from Manchester United — scored the third goal on the hour mark at the San Siro. A blunder by Lecce goalkeeper Gabriel parried the ball into the path of Lautaro Martinez allowing Lukaku to finish off. The 26-year-old turned and took a bow in front of the jubilant Inter fans among the 65,000 crowd. “Lukaku entered the world of Inter in the best way, with great humility,” said Conte. “He’s a gentle giant, a giant with a smile. He is ready to work for the team. But not only Romelu, but Lautaro also played very well.” Croatian Marcelo Brozovic had opened the scoring after 21 minutes with a

Congratulations to her for winning the Gold at the BWF World Championships. The passion and dedication with which she’s pursued badminton is inspiring. P.V.

The 24-year-old Indian shuttler reached Delhi early on Tuesday and received a grand welcome at the Indira Gandhi International Airport. “It’s a great moment for me. I am really very proud to be an Indian. I wish I will get many more medals for the country,” Sindhu told reporters.

“Hard work is the key to success. I would like to thank each and every fan of mine. It’s because of their love and support that I am here,” she added. It was her fifth medal at the World Championships, which is the joint highest in women’s singles in the history of the tournament along with Xhang Ning of China, a two-time Olympic gold medallist. Apart from the two silvers which Sindhu won in the last two editions, she had also won the bronze in 2013 and 2014.

The 24-year-old had earlier said that after missing out on the previous two occasions where she lost to Okuhara and Carolina Marin in 2017 and 2018 respectively, she was desperate to win the title this year. “It’s a very important win for me because after two bronze and two silver medals, I really wanted the title. I was expecting this for a long time and now finally it has happened. So, I’m really happy,” she had said.

SAFF U-15: India thrash Sri Lanka 5-0 Serena beats Sharapova; Federer survives scare in US Open

Indian players celebrate after scoring a goal against Sri Lanka in SAFF U-15 tournament on Tuesday.

Ka lyan i , Au g 2 7 (PTI): India churned out yet another fine performance as they beat Sri Lanka 5-0 in the SAFF U-15 tournament on Tuesday. Himanshu Jangra was the star of the show, scoring a hat-trick, while Maheson and Shubho Paul also netted one each. India coach Bibiano Fernandes made two changes to his lineup, with Himanshu Jangra replacing

Sridarth upfront, and Satvik Sharma taking Sibajit Singh's place in the middle of the park. India started dominating from the early exchanges, but the Sri Lanka defence held their own. India attacking midfielder Maheson Singh was on form, giving ample opportunities to striker Jangra. However, the striker finally broke the deadlock when Maheson again

found him with a defencesplitting ball, as Jangra slotted it into the net. Soon after, Maheson pulled the trigger from outside the box and doubled the lead, before Jangra scored his second as he slipped one past the Lanka keeper. Shubho Paul made it four deep into injury time of the first half, as he cut in from the left and curled it into the net. Jangra completed his hat-trick in the second half when he skipped past a defender and slotted it home. "I'm happy that the players are scoring so many goals. I'm very happy for Himanshu. He finally got his chance and showed what a lethal goalscorer he can be," said India head coach Fernandes. "It's a problem of plenty, but it's a good problem to have, as I know that if Sridarth is not there, Himanshu can set up to the plate." India will play their final group stage game against Bangladesh on Thursday.

New York, Aug 27 (AFP): Serena Williams began her quest for a 24th Grand Slam singles crown by crushing five-time major winner Maria Sharapova 6-1, 6-1 Monday to reach the second round of the US Open. Williams needed only 59 minutes to rout her Russian rival, improving to 20-2 all-time against Sharapova with her 19th consecutive victory in the rivalry. “Whenever I play her I bring out some of my

Too early to call for 2022 CWG boycott: Rijiju New Delhi, Aug 27 (PTI): Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju has played down the calls to boycott the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games over shooting’s exclusion, saying it is too early to take a decision of such magnitude. Shooting has been axed from the 2022 edition by Birmingham Organising Committee, citing logistical issues. The move triggered angry reactions from the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) and the national shooting federation (NRAI). The IOA went to the extent of suggesting a boycott to protest the sport’s dropping. “The officials of IOA met me and apprised me about the ongoing issues in the 2022 Commonwealth Games, where shooting has been dropped. The possibility of India’s boycott was also raised before me,” Rijiju told PTI in an interview. “I told them to speak to the Commonwealth Games Federation officials and the organising committee of the

Birmingham Games and apprise them about our deep concerns. “If it (the decision) is not reviewed, we will see but the call for boycott at this point of time is too early. Certainly, boycott is not the solution but I will not give an opinion till I get the final outcome from the meeting between IOA and CGF officials,” he added. Shooting has featured in every Commonwealth Games since 1966 with the exception of Edinburgh 1970. But in its Executive Board meeting in June, the CGF recommended the inclusion of three new sports while dropping shooting. The decision was a shock for India as the coun-

try’s shooters claimed 16 medals, including seven gold at last year’s Gold Coast Games. The country had finished third in the medals table with a tally of 66. On to the more immediate concerns, like the 2020 Olympic Games, the minister was hopeful that the athletes are going to bring back a lot more than just the one silver and a bronze attained in the 2016 Rio Games. Rijiju, however, said the 2024 and 2028 editions are his long-term goals. “I have just assumed sports ministry (charge) three months back and we are about 10 months away from 2020 Tokyo Olympics, so now we will have to go with the existing talent. “In 10 months, we cannot produce new talents. We have identified existing talents and we have extended all technical resources and other support whatever is required,” he said. “...we are expecting better results than previous Olympics. But it is difficult to predict number of medals

because of the high standard of competition in Olympics. My long-term preparation is for 2024 Paris and 2028 Los Angeles Olympics,” the minister added. Rijiju also said that the government is open to the idea of hosting multi-sport events despite the bad press India got for alleged corruption in the 2010 Commonwealth Games. “We are not averse to hosting any international event. Definitely it’s a matter of pride for any country to host the Olympics or Asian Games. We would be encouraging more international events because our dream is to host the Olympics someday,” he said. “But before that we should be ready, we should be able to make the whole world understand that India is capable of hosting. It must be done at an appropriate time,” Rijiju asserted. Asked about the contentious issue of bilateral sporting ties between India and Pakistan, Rijiju said that is completely dependent on the government’s position.

best tennis,” Williams said. “She’s such a good player. When you play her you have to be super focused.” Williams, who next plays 121st-ranked US wildcard Caty McNally, blasted five aces and 16 winners while Sharapova made 20 unforced errors in the loss at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The 37-year-old American, seeking her seventh US Open title, is chasing the all-time record of 24 Slam singles titles won by Margaret Court. Sharapova, the 2006

Bumrah storms into top 10 of ICC Test rankings

Dubai, Aug 27 (Agencies): India pacer Jasprit Bumrah broke into top 10 for the first time in ICC Test rankings on the back of his 4th 5-wicket haul which helped India clinch their first win in the inaugural edition of World Test Championship. According to India Today, Bumrah, who became the first Asian bowler to pick up a five-wicket haul in South Africa, England, Australia and West Indies, climbed nine places to No.7 with a career-high 774 points. Bumrah’s Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane, who scored his 10th Test hundred in India’s World Test Championship campaign opener, gained one position to move to 11th spot. Pat Cummins, meanwhile, has strengthened his hold on the ICC Test Rankings for Bowlers, reaching careerhigh ranking points. Trent Boult, who reached the milestone of 250 Test wickets as New Zealand drew the Test series in Sri Lanka, has re-entered the top 5.

US Open winner who defeated Williams in the 2004 Wimbledon final, upset Simona Halep in the first round two years ago but could not revive that magic in the showcase openingnight match in the year’s final Grand Slam tournament. Eighth-seeded Williams broke for a 3-1 edge when Sharapova netted a backhand, again to 5-1 and took the first set in 24 minutes on a net cord winner. Williams broke to open the second set then

denied Sharapova on two break points to hold in the fifth game, an impressive backhand winner and a service winner ending the threat. Williams broke again to 4-1, rescued three break points in the sixth game to hold serve and broke again to advance, showing no sign of the back spasms that limited her pre-Open play. Swiss third seed Roger Federer, a 20-time Grand Slam winner, survived a surprise scare in a 4-6 6-1

6-2 6-4 win against world number 190 Sumit Nagal. Federer finished with 57 unforced errors and 61 winners as he won through in two hours and 29 minutes. He will hope for an improved display when he faces Damir Dzumhur in the next round. Federer dropped the opening set in 36 minutes, then returned to form and defeated Nagal 4-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-4. “I played like my beard today. I was rusty,” he said. The shock first set was a wake-up call, a 38-yearold legend who was 61-0 in Grand Slam first rounds since the 2003 French Open trailing a 22-year-old from New Delhi who is ranked 190th and fell to 0-5 in tourlevel matches. “Just tried to forget it, play tough, stay with him. It was a tough first set for me,” Federer said. “He came back and played really strong. I was missing a lot of balls and trying to cut back on unforced errors. “It all came back just in time.”
