3 NE CMs face protests at JNU

NEW DELHI, AUG 29 (AGENCIES): Three chief ministers of Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled North East states—Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur, faced protests and sloganeering from a section of students at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) campus in New Delhi, Hindi daily Amar Ujala reported.

Assam CM Sarbananda Sonowal, Arunachal CM Pema Khandu and Manipur CM N Biren Singh were invited Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP)RSS’s students wing, for a public talk.

Despite the protests, the three chief ministers continued to talk on development and national integration.

JNU campus has a tradition of organising public talks by leaders and ministers from all parties and ideologies, especially before university polls, and especially by leaders from Left parties.

DNA reported that “students were protesting outside the venue, with placards, against the Citizenship Amendment Bill.” The report adds, “As he started speaking, Khandu was dis-

AISA and DSF said inviting elected representatives was a “blatant display of power”. “The ABVPRSS-BJP clearly does not trust its leadership and activists to win a debate in JNU. It has, therefore, resorted to campaigning like it is a state/Lok Sabha election,” said DSF secretary Pratim Ghosal.

Sucheta De, AISA national president, said, “If three CMs are coming to campaign, it talks a lot about the kind of money, mantri power they are engaging in.” However, ABVP JNU president, Vijay Kumar, said there was nothing wrong with what they did. “If the Left and others can call their leaders, why can’t we call three or even 50 chief ministers?”

According to OPINDIA report, while the NSUI, Congress’ student wing, had invited P. Chidambaram for a talk on ‘Myth of development under the Modi regime’ on Tuesday and the SFI had invited CPM’s Sitaram Yechury for a talk last week. JNU is all set to start a special centre dedicated to the studies of the North East.

KIPHIRE, AUG 29 (NPN): Seyochung Area Students’ Union (SASU) has served an ultimatum on government teachers under its jurisdiction, who have been absent from their duty and deployed proxies, to return to their respective schools within seven days from the date of publication of its ultimatum.

In a press release, SASU president, K Chumseli Anar, and general secretary, Holise Sangtam, cautioned that failure to return would compel the union to take its own course of action and they would be held responsible for any untoward incident. SASU asserted that the practice of proxy teachers has become a routine practice and affecting quality of education.

It said those teachers were simply receiving their salary every month without performing their duty.

Pointing out that it had on three occasions issued reminders through local media on July 16, July 29 and August 8, 2018, the union, however, said they did not pay heed to its plea.

D I M A P U R , AU G 2 9 (NPN): While applauding its efforts to bring the situation arising out of the recent natural calamity to normal, Eastern Naga Students’ Federation (ENSF) appealed to the State government to continue providing relief in Eastern Nagaland where some of the districts, towns and villages are facing scarcity of commodities.

According to a press release issued by ENSF general secretary Imtichoba Chang, Eastern Nagaland being worst hit, the situation still remained pathetic and that rescue operations should continue to offer aid to places that were totally cut off from rest of the State.

Stating that the students were most affected, the release pointed out that many students could not return to their educational institutions as roads and bridges were damaged, due to which public vehicles have stopped plying.

The federation appealed to the government to provide better roads and infrastructure. It feared that officials of department concerned and contractors would not carry out repair work properly and siphon of money in connivance with politicians.

MUMBAI, AUG 29 (PTI): Almost all the 500 and 1,000 currency notes that were made illegal in November 2016 have returned to the banking system, the RBI said Wednesday, prompting the Opposition to question the efficacy of demonetisation in curbing black money.

Banks received Rs 15.31 lakh crore or 99.3 per cent of the Rs 15.41 lakh crore worth Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes that were in circulation on November 8, 2016 -- the day when the note ban was announced, according to the RBI. This means that just Rs 10,720 crore of the junked currency notes did not return to the banking system.

Initial estimates had pegged that around Rs 3 lakh crore worth demonetised notes would not return to the system as they might have

“All the students from the North East were not allowed to enter here. This is not right,” she said. Her disruptions were followed by cries of ‘Bharat mata ki jai’ by ABVP members.”

Students were protesting outside the venue, with placards, against the Citizenship Amendment Bill. Several students said that they were not allowed to enter by the ABVP. Promises of an interactive session were also rescinded, and eventually only two questions were allowed once the three CMs spoke individually.

In its report, Amar Ujala mentioned that the programme had a normal beginning. However, within a short time, slogans were raised against the ministers and the protest took a heated turn, as students, allegedly those supporting the left, and ABVP, clashed.

The visit of the CMs was part of the campaign for the JNU students’ elections, scheduled to be held on September 14.

The RBI, which has taken over two years to count the currency notes that were returned in the limited period window provided by the government to exchange or deposit the demonetised notes, said in its 2017-18 annual report that the exercise is finally over.

The government vehemently defended the note ban decision, which sucked out 86 per cent of the currency in circulation, saying the move was not intended to confiscate money but to bring it into formal channels and tax them.

“I think demonetisation has achieved its objective quite substantially,” Economic Affairs Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg told reporters in New Delhi.

D I M A P U R , AU G 2 9 (NPN): Out of the 11 districts in Nagaland, Dimapur, Tuensang and Kohima have the highest prevalence of HIV with 5.15%, 2.53% and 2.52% respectively, as per data available from April 2006 to May 2018. This was stated by Legislators’ Forum on AIDS (LFA) state consultant Dr. Vinito L Chishi while addressing students and faculty at HIV&AIDS advocacy programme held at Withee Bible College, Darogajan on Wednesday.

The programme was organised by faculty and students of Withee Bible College.

Chishi said out of the 1 88,166 people screened for HIV in Dimapur between April 2006 and May 2018, 9,694 tested positive. And out of the 10,46,767 blood samples tested in Nagaland till May this year, 23,491 tested positive for HIV, he added. Quoting the data extensively, the LFA state consultant also laid bare some very disturbing statistics.

For instance, 73% of those infected with HIV in Nagaland are between 25 to 49 years. Further, 90% of the transmission of the dreaded

disease is via sexual intercourse, followed by mother to child transmission (6%).

Chishi said 17,301 HIV patients had registered for antiretroviral therapy (ART) since 2004, but only 11,753 of them started the therapy.

Further, 1,561 of them died while on ART treatment and 7,436 (including children) are currently on ART provided by the government.

The only silver lining in an otherwise dark cloud is decrease in the rate of prevalence of HIV from 0.82% in 2014 to 0.76% in 2018.

Chishi emphasised on the role of the church, theological institutes and Christian leaders in preventing the spread of deadly virus

Diphupar village against outside interference D I M A P U R , AU G 2 9 (NPN): Diphupar Communities Chairman Forum (DCCF), Diphupar Naga Youth Organisation (DNYO), Diphupar Naga Students’ Union (DNSU) and Diphupar Naga Women Organisation (DNWO) have appealed to the responsible individual, organisation, federation etc. to refrain from interfering in the affairs of their “domestic issue.” The above organisations were reacting to recent issue concerning alleged misuse of MGNRGEA fund meant for Diphupar village.

In a joint statement, DCCF, DNYO, DNSU and DNWO sought to clarify the fund misuse issue and said they have already decided to eradicate corruption and misuse of fund in the village and stand united to uphold their decision to any extent.

Since the “restrained village council members” had no authority to call upon other organisations either from within the village or outside, they requested VCM/VDB/ GB to refrain from such act hereafter.

According to Diphupar village bodies, all responsible members have already admitted their indulgence in misappropriation of village fund. Stating that siding with wrong doers was unlawful, they said as per Section 16(4) of Nagaland Village and Tribal Council Act 1978, all members were liable for disqualification.

The village bodies have, therefore, requested the government authority to resolve the case immediately for the interest of the people of Diphupar, saying “justice delayed is justice denied.”

by sensitising people. He said there was a need to approach the church as a platform to “inform, educate and discipline” the people.

Stressing the “crucial role” of church as it was at the core of the community, he pointed out that the church was a permanent institution, unlike governments that changed every five years, and therefore assumed a greater role.

At a later session, LFA administrator Hukatoli spoke on the risks and social concerns associated with HIV&AIDS. She lamented that judgmental nature of people in general had made it difficult for HIV patients (Cont’d on p-7)

money was achieved, he said, “yes.”

Former Finance Minister and senior Congress leader P Chidambaram was quick to pounce on the data to attack the government saying every rupee barring a small sum has come back to the RBI. “Remember who had said that Rs 3 lakh crore will not come back and that will be a gain for the government!?,” he tweeted.

He said he suspected that the bulk of the currency not returned may be lying in Nepal and Bhutan, where Indian currency is acceptable, and some that may have been lost or destroyed.

Stating that the country paid a huge price for demonetisation, he said, “Indian economy lost 1.5 per cent of GDP in terms of growth.

That alone was a loss of Rs 2.25 lakh crore a year.”

D I M A P U R , AU G 2 9 (NPN): The days of school students wanting to make models of the solar system for their school science projects or exhibitions are gone. Now they want to make cars.

In what is considered to be one of its kind in the State, four ingenious and

enterprising Class IX students of Greenwood Higher Secondary School (GHSS) Dimapur built a car for their school science exhibition.

Besides winning the hearts of the teachers and other students of the school, it went viral on social media within a matter of hours.

With Jason Whuorie as team leader, other students of the team are Kekhrie-

zhazo Rino, Limatemjen N Jamir and Keneikhriezo Sanchu.

They used the bare minimum in terms of material used, but they had to save their pocket money totalling to Rs 2,000 and spending endless hours working in a garage even during their holidays. The idea was to make a bigger and more powerful car packed with features, but they had to contend with a simpler one as they were racing against time to complete it in a week’s time for the school’s science exhibition.

The students, now referred to as “young engineers” by peers and teachers, put their heads together to understand the basic principles that propelled a vehicle. The rear-wheel drive car is propelled by a belt set into motion by a motor powered by a generator. The belt, in turn, is connected to an axle, which then rotates a

D I M A P U R , AU G 2 9 (NPN): Terming NDPP’s reaction to the previous NPF government as “nonsensical”, media cell of NPF has advised the ruling PDA government to be more realistic in its approach and work for the people as it (NPF) was in no mood to continue with “paper wars”. In a press release, NPF explained that it was constrained respond to NDPP’s rejoinder, defending chief minister Neiphiu Rio’s Independence Day speech.

NPF said it was amazed to come across the lengthy rejoinder with little reference to PDA’s mis-governance, but pointing fingers at the previous NPF government.

NPF charged the ruling party of resorting to a blame game– instead of putting efforts in running the affairs of the State as per their commitments made to the public – whenever it was confronted with facts and its misdeed (Cont’d on p-7) pointed out by the opposition

cylindrical bar to set the rear wheels into motion.

The frame of the car is made of square iron pipes and its seat, generator and other components were collected by the students themselves. The students only had to spend money for welding and buying the belt.

The steering mechanism has all the four main components found in every car – steering wheel, steering column, steering joint and steering box. The four students explained to Nagaland Post the details and the basic mechanisms needed to make a car run.

Greenwood Higher Secondary School principal Uttam Basak said other students in the school were encouraged by the quartet, adding that the school would give citations and felicitate them soon in the school chapel.

party and people alike Nonetheless, the opposition party reminded NDPP that NPF had ruled the State for the past 15 years and that the last four years had been exceptional in bringing peace and development to the State.

Stating that it was not obliged to clarify as its intention was merely to awaken the government of the day from its deep slumber and work for public interest, instead of seeking publicity, NPF urged NDPP to work like a ruling party for the people’s interest as their time might be short lived.

On NDPP pointing fingers at NPF regarding VIP culture, NPF clarified that it had raised the issue for the benefit of people as well as for government to save the State exchequer, alleging that the government had been randomly appointing “chamchas” and even awarding losing candidates

with the ranks of cabinet minister, minister of state, adviser and chairmen to look after various departments.

The opposition party further alleged that the chief minister was fooling the Naga people by contradicting himself. It recalled that in early part of June this year, Rio had announced before the media at New Delhi that integration of Naga contiguous areas was not possible, even though his government had recently adopted a resolution in support of integration.

NPF also asked the sixmonth-old PDA government to take into consideration the agitations of the public, civil societies, students and government employees before it was too late. NPF said Rio’s Independence Day speech indicated poor image of PDA government and that many points in the speech were misleading and visionless.

BJP backs Biplab Deb’s theory on ducks Agartala, Aug 29 (Agencies): A day after Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb said ducks help increase oxygen levels in water bodies, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the state government backed his comments, The Indian Express reported.

Speaking to indianexpress.com, BJP spokesperson Dr Ashok Sinha said the chief minister’s comments were 100 per cent correct and claimed there is scientific evidence to support the statements.

“Ducks were used along with fish cultivation in India since ages, and is a traditional Indian knowledge, which was also confirmed by Western scientists later,” he said.

Reacting to Deb’s comments at Rudrasagar in Sipahijala district yesterday, Dr. Mihir Lal Roy, retired principal scientific officer of the Tripura State Council for Science and Technology and joint convener of Tripura Vigyan Mancha – a science awareness organization, said Deb’s comments on rising oxygen levels due to ducks were “loose talk” and didn’t have any scientific basis.

Sinha said Roy was politically biased in his comments and that the former official had tried to criticise chief minister without scientific proof.

Manipur observes Jadonang 87th death anniversary Correspondent

IMPHAL, Aug 29: Freedom fighter Haipu Jadonang was fondly remembered on his 87th death anniversary across Manipur on Wednesday. Observation functions were held at various places in Imphal as well as in Tamenglong district, the birth place of one of the pioneer freedom fighters of the state, who was hung by the then colonial Britishers on August 29 in 1931.

At commemoration function held at Leishangkhong Kabui village in Wangoi of Imphal West district, chief minister N Biren Singh remembered the freedom fighter as a pioneer, who sacrificed his life for the cause of Manipur.

He stressed on the need for mutual respect, understanding, sharing and recognition among the different communities to uphold oneness and unity of the state which the forefathers of the state protected.

“We should not forget the courage and spirit of Haipou Jadonang who fought against the British colonial power to restore the freedom of Manipur,” he said. He maintained that it

PHLAs, transgenders, Drug Users demand public apology Correspondent

Shillong, Aug 29: People living with HIV and AIDS (PLHAs), transgenders and Injecting Drug Users in Meghalaya on Wednesday demanded a public apology from Chief Executive Member of Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC), Hispreaching Son Shylla for his “stigmatising” and “discriminatory” remarks against them. Shylla, the leader of ruling National People’s Party (NPP) had said that the proposed Khasi Social Custom of Lineage (Amendment) Bill, 2018 will be one of the ways “to prevent the indigenous people from becoming vulnerable to this dreaded disease (HIV and AIDS)”.

On July 25, the KHADC had passed the Khasi Social Custom of Lineage (Amendment) Bill, 2018 wherein it was noted that a tribal Khasi woman who marries a non-Khasi as well as her offspring(s) born out of such marriage(s) shall be deemed as non-Khasi and shall lose the Khasi status and all privileges and benefits as a member of the Khasi tribe who cannot claim preferential privileges

under any law.

Quoting reports, Shylla said truck drivers and migrant labourers from outside Meghalaya were the “main carriers” of HIV and AIDS while claiming that the bill would be one of the ways to prevent indigenous women from getting infected with HIV and AIDS. The NPP leader had also said that the district council does not recognise transgenders.

Aghast with Shylla’s statement against them, PLHAs, transgenders and drugs users held a news conference rebutting the statement of the politician. “We demand a ‘public apology’ from Shylla for his “stigmatising” and “discriminatory” remarks against us. If he refuses ... we will approach our specialized legal counsels and we will even take out a mass rally,” they told journalists.

“HIV did not discriminate anybody, so why is he discriminating us. You cannot attribute an epidemic to only one section (migrant workers/truck drivers from outside the state),” Meghalaya State Network of Positive People (MSNPP), Barry Kharmalki said. “.. Every people from

all walks of life, without stigmatizing any group, contribute to this epidemic.

He is hurting the sentiments of the people. He is inciting fear and hatred. Are we assuming all truck drivers from outside, all non-ingenuous have HIV,” he asked.

Quoting statistics available with Anti-Retroviral Therapy Centre (ARTC) of government-run Shillong Civil hospital, Kharmalki said, the number of registered sex workers in Meghalaya is 90 out of which only three are non-indigenous and 87 are indigenous; Out of 146 truck drivers living with HIV, 17 are non-indigenous and 129 are indigenous; out of 127 Injecting Drug Users living with HIV, 52 are non-indigenous and 75 are indigenous people.

He also said that out of 3102 heterosexual cases, 624 are non-indigenous and 2478 are indigenous people of the state.

“We are not sure as to how the proposed bill would be able to help in preventing the spread of HIV. Instead of Shylla stigmatising, he should be more sensitive.

We are ready to send him books and papers to read so that he understands better,” Kharmalki said.

would be a befitting tribute to the freedom fighter if all sections of people irrespective of community, work together for strengthening the unity and integrity of Manipur.

Reminding the people that the utmost responsibility of a politician is to serve the people, Singh said, “Elected representatives who don’t serve and work for the welfare of the people shouldn’t be given a next chance.”

Recognizing the selfless sacrifice made by the forefathers for the cause of the motherland, the chief minister said that the state cabinet had decided to officially name JNIMS road as Pukhrambam Kajao Road and the stretch from Lamphel to Shija Hospital Road as Chirai Naga Road.

He added, “It is indeed proud for all of us to have such freedom fighter like Haipou Jadonang in our state.” He further mooted the declaration of August 29 as state holiday to mark the martyrdom of Haipou Jadonang saying that the government would take a decision after tabling the matter in a cabinet meeting.

SC gives arrested activists a breather SAYS DISSENT IS SAFETY VALVE OF DEMOCRACY; orders house arrest for activists

NEW DELHI/PUNE, AUG 29 (PTI): The Maharashtra Police’s move to arrest five well known activists was punctured today with the Supreme Court observing that “dissent is the safety valve of democracy” and directing that those in its custody be kept under house arrest.

The five human rights activists -- Varavara Rao, Vernon Gonzalves, Arun Ferreira, Sudha Bharadwaj and Gautam Navlakha -- who were arrested after the pan India crackdown yesterday will not be sent to jail but be under house arrest under police watch until September 6, the court ruled.

“Dissent is the safety valve of democracy and if you don’t allow these safety valves it will burst,” a bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra and comprising Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud said.

Dealing a blow to the Maharashtra police, the apex court questioned it for arresting the activists nine

months after the violence between Dalits and upper caste Peshwas in Koregaon-Bhima village near Pune following the Elgar Parishad, or conclave, on December 31 last year.

Provocative speeches were made at the Elgar Parishad, which triggered the violence, according to an FIR registered in a Pune police station.

The apex court also issued notice to the Maharashtra government and the state police on the plea

by five leading intellectuals, including historian Romila Thapar and economists Prabhat Patnaik and Devaki Jain, against the arrests in connection with the case.

“The Supreme Court order has passed an order that covers all who were arrested,” said lawyer Vrinda Grover after the ruling. She added that they would be taken back to their homes.

While trade unionist and lawyer Bharadwaj is

confined to her home in Faridabad and civil liberties activist Navlakha to his Delhi residence, Telugu poet Rao and activists Gonsalves and Ferreira were taken to Pune late last night.

They were arrested for their suspected links to Maoists following near simultaneous searches at Rao’s home in Hyderabad, Gonzalves’ and Ferreira’s residences in Mumbai as well as in Faridabad and Delhi, officials said.

They were arrested under IPC Section 153 (A), which relates to promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place or birth, residence, language and committing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony. Some other sections of the IPC were also pressed, along with the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, for their “alleged naxal activities”, an official said, without elaborating.

As activists and others breathed a little easier following the apex court

Sushma Swaraj meets Cambodian Militants kill four cops counterpart; holds wide-ranging talks in Jammu and Kashmir PHNOM PENH, AUG 29 (PTI): External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj today met her Cambodian counterpart Prak Sokhonn and discussed bilateral, multilateral and key international issues.

Swaraj, who is in Cambodia on the concluding leg of her fourday two-nation tour, was received

by Sokhonn.

The two ministers discussed bilateral, multilateral and important international issues at delegation-level talks at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs here.

The Twitter account of the Embassy of India in Phnom Penh said in a tweet that Swaraj was warmly received by Sokhonn.

“The two ministers discussed bilateral, multilateral and important International issues today at delegation level talks at MOFA,” it said in the tweet.

She will call on Prime Minister Hun Sen and President of the Senate Say Chhum.

Swaraj reached here yesterday from Vietnam where she held wide-ranging talks with her Vietnamese counterpart Pham Binh Minh and discussed steps to boost bilateral trade, investment, maritime and defence cooperation.

India’s ties are on an upswing with Vietnam and Cambodia -- the two major countries in the powerful Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) grouping.

India and Cambodia have enjoyed friendly relations for a long time.

Both the countries formally established diplomatic relations in 1952. In 2000, Cambodia vowed its full support for India to become a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.

Swaraj’s visit to the two key ASEAN nations is seen as India’s attempt to balance China’s rising influence in the Southeast Asian region.

SRINAGAR, AUG 29 (PTI): Four policemen were killed in an attack by terrorists in Shopian district of Jammu and Kashmir today just hours after security forces gunned down two militants, including a top Hizbul Mujahideen commander, in an encounter in Anantnag district.

“Terrorists in the afternoon fired indiscriminately upon a police party at Arhama in district Shopian. Four policemen sustained gunshot wounds and were evacuated to a nearby hospital for medical attention,” a police spokesman said. All the four injured succumbed to injuries, he added.

“The martyred policemen were identified as Constable Ishfaq Ahmad Mir, Constable Javaid Ahmad Bhat, Constable Mohammad Iqbal Mir and SPO Adil Manzoor Bhat,” he said adding case was registered and investigations initiated in the matter. The deceased were part of the security detail of an officer and had gone to get a police vehicle repaired when the attack took place, an official said.

The incident came hours after security forces killed two militants of Hizbul Mujahideen including a top commander, Altaf Ahmad Dar alias Kachroo, in a gunbattle at Muniward in Anantnag district.

ruling, the Delhi High Court, which was hearing Navlakha’s plea, observed that even if all other arrests were found to be valid, it would not lend validity to his arrest.

The National Human Rights Commission also stepped into the controversy, saying “it appears” standard operating procedure was not properly followed and this may amount to a violation of the human rights of those arrested.

It issued notices to the Maharashtra government and the state’s police chief and asked for a ‘factual report’ within four weeks.

As the courts gave their ruling in Delhi, police in Pune said it had “evidence” suggesting a plan to target the “highest political functionaries”.

Joint Commissioner of Pune Police Shivajirao Bodkhe also claimed to have evidence to suggest that the arrested people had links with Kashmiri separatists. The Elgar Parishad, he told reporters, was funded by the Maoists.

India moving towards emergency: Lalu

PATNA, AUG 29 (PTI): RJD president Lalu Prasad today alleged Narendra Modi government is taking the country towards “a totalitarian regime” and false security alarms were being raised to prepare the ground for imposing Emergency.

Prasad also likened the situation in Bihar under Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to that of ancient Rome when emperor Nero was playing the flute while his kingdom was burning.

“A number of persons have been arrested for alleged Maoist links. Reports have also surfaced alleging that there are threats to the life of the prime minister. All this seems to be a ploy for clamping the Emergency in the country,” Prasad told reporters at the airport here.

Maharashtra police yesterday raided homes of prominent Left-wing activists in several states and arrested at least five of them for suspected Maoist links, sparking a chorus of outraged protests from political leaders and human rights defenders.

“The country is inching towards a totalitarian

regime,” said Prasad, while leaving for Ranchi to surrender before a court tomorrow upon expiry of his provisional bail.

The septuagenarian leader, who was till last week convalescing at a Mumbai hospital, looked weary but managed to walk today. In the recent past, he was seen mostly on a wheelchair.

Asked about the law and order situation in Bihar, Prasad said, “There is no law nor any order left in the state. The prevailing situation reminds one of the era when Nero played the flute while his kingdom

was on fire.”

After being sent to jail in December last year following conviction in one of the fodder scam cases, Prasad spent a considerable time at the RIMS hospital in Ranchi and at the AIIMS at New Delhi, for treatment of various ailments.

He was released on a provisional bail in May this year by the Jharkhand High Court for medical treatment though he was restrained from taking part in any public functions, political activities or issuing statements to the media during the period.

Panel submits report on incidents of lynching to GoM NEW DELHI, AUG 29 (PTI): A panel of senior government officers, which deliberated on the possibility of enacting a new law to check incidents of lynching, has submitted its report to a Group of Ministers headed

by Home Minister Rajnath Singh, officials said today.

The committee of secretaries, headed by Union Home Secretary Rajiv Gauba, held consultations with a cross-section of society and other stakeholders before submitting its report to the

GoM. The GoM will now submit its recommendations to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a final decision, a home ministry official said.

Though the final outcome of the deliberations of the committee of secretaries is not known immediately, but it is believed they have suggest for tightening the law by inserting clauses in the Indian Penal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure through parliamentary

approval.

The panel report will now be discussed by the GoM whose members are External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad and Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Thawar Chand Gehlot. The home minister is head of the GoM. The move came after nearly 40 people were lynched in nine states in the past one year.

Last month, the Home Ministry issued advisories to states and Union territories following Supreme Court’s directives to check incidents of lynching.

The Centre asked them to appoint an officer in each district at the level of Superintendent of Police, set up a special task force to gather intelligence, and closely monitor social media contents to prevent mob attacks on suspicion of being child-lifters or cattle smugglers.

No longer hidden

or the first time since August 2014, the price of petrol and diesel in India touched an all-time high where petrol rose to a whopping Rs.78.05 per litre in Delhi and diesel to Rs.69.46 per litre. Quite surprisingly there has been no howl of protest from the opposition, unlike during the period of Congressled UPA government, when the BJP and Left not only protested but also agitated both within and outside parliament to corner the government. During the UPA government, price of crude oil in the global market skyrocketed to $107.46 per barrel in 2011 and the price of petrol was Rs.70.66 per litre and diesel was Rs.45.28 per litre. When crude prices further shot up to its highest in 2012 to $109.45 per barrel, the price of petrol was Rs.73.53 and diesel was Rs.52.63 per litre. When the BJP came to power in 2014, the price of crude sank to $96.29 per barrel, the price of petrol marginally went down to Rs.68.86 per litre but the price of diesel rose to Rs.57.91 per litre above the 2014 price. What has seemingly annoyed a lot of Indians is the rate at which the Central government has constantly hiked the excise duty on petrol and diesel since it took office. The Modi government’s justification is that the additional revenue generated after levying excise duty is distributed to the state governments and used for delivering a host of welfare schemes. The Modi government last fiscal year earned a whopping Rs.2.7 lakh crore from excise on petrol and diesel. The focus on earning revenue and cutting down on deficit and also taming inflation may be good business for the government but it’s an argument that is falling on deaf ears because it’s hurting ordinary citizens where it hurts most- their pockets. Statistics apart the slowdown is pervading all areas – industry, agriculture, services and jobs.

The government maintains that all is not that gloomy.

It continues to stoutly defend demonetisation as if to mean this has cleansed the system of ‘black money’.

Only an economist can look for solutions but the note ban impact still remains. The parallel economy is not always negative, like deficit budget. Organised bankers and financial sector view parallel economy as a derogatory word. India forgets that the great 200708 sub-prime crisis that shook the West and the US emanated from failure of the banking and financial institutions. India sailed through the global market crisis because of its cash – parallel economy. The note-ban has hit the poorest hard, not the rich. The worst hit are farmers, medium and small businesses, small workers and labourers. Also the severe constrictions imposed by the departments like income tax or issues like GST are acting as dampener.

Entrepreneurs, industrialists or any business cannot thrive under the shadow of fear or being forced to pay slush money. The solution is in unbundling, trusting the people and not punishing the ordinary.

Like the media and other low-end enterprises have to pay GST on meagre advertisement like earnings but they have to also pay heavy corporate income tax.

It is contrary to the concept of GST. Modi will have to make Jaitley revisit the economy to fine tune it for 2019 and correct the wrongs done and hoping it will not be too little and too late.

DailyDevotion The Unsurpassed Intimacy of Tested Faith Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” —John 11:40 Every time you venture out in your life of faith, you will find something in your circumstances that, from a commonsense standpoint, will flatly contradict your faith. But common sense is not faith, and faith is not common sense. In fact, they are as different as the natural life and the spiritual. Can you trust Jesus Christ where your common sense cannot trust Him? Can you venture out with courage on the words of Jesus Christ, while the realities of your commonsense life continue to shout, “It’s all a lie”? When you are on the mountaintop, it’s easy to say, “Oh yes, I believe God can do it,” but you have to come down from the mountain to the demon-possessed valley and face the realities that scoff at your Mount-of-Transfiguration belief (see Luke 9:28-42). Every time my theology becomes clear to my own mind, I encounter something that contradicts it. As soon as I say, “I believe ‘God shall supply all [my] need,’ ” the testing of my faith begins (Philippians 4:19). When my strength runs dry and my vision is blinded, will I endure this trial of my faith victoriously or will I turn back in defeat?

Faith must be tested, because it can only become your intimate possession through conflict. What is challenging your faith right now? The test will either prove your faith right, or it will kill it. Jesus said, “Blessed is he who is not offended because of Me” Matthew 11:6).

The ultimate thing is confidence in Jesus. “We have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end…” (Hebrews 3:14).

Believe steadfastly on Him and everything that challenges you will strengthen your faith. There is continual testing in the life of faith up to the point of our physical death, which is the last great test. Faith is absolute trust in God— trust that could never imagine that He would forsake us (see Hebrews 13:5-6).

Post-mortem

The ashes of late Vajpayee in Nagaland!

I

do not know whether it was the will of Late Vajpayee that his ashes be spread across the country. Even if it is his will, many States may not consent to it. And if it is not his will, there is no point in forcing people to do so. So surprising, yet Mr. Imna wanted to immerse the ashes of Late Vajpayee in the sacred rivers of Nagaland as though he is the only begotten son.

Mr. Imna foresaw development and prosperity of the Nagas inside the ash pot. Once the ashes are spread, there will be fast magic of development and prosperity. The ashes will bring fertility to Nagaland. Crops of every kind will emerge at an instance. Different species of fish and crocodiles will swim up and down the rivers. The rivers of Nagaland will be sanctified. The roads will turn smooth. Nagaland will become self-sufficient. Nagaland will be called ‘world trade centre.’

Sovereignty will dawn upon the Nagas without much struggle. Naga politicians will find their unity in the sacred brass ash pot. Doyang will become the abode of the gods, goddesses and fairies. The young boys and girls will throng on the banks of the river to take selfie with the gods, goddesses and fairies. Naga politicians will be dating them to bring prosperity and generate new offspring of Nephilims. Political camping in Kaziranga will cease.

Doyang can be a heaven for them.

Such changes should not be denied.

Mr. Imna must have had such dreams for Nagaland. But thanks to the leading tribal bodies, religious leaders and public who did not give into such plans and aspirations of the politicians. A true Naga can also be a true Christian. Nagaland is for Christ, not for Vajpayee or Modi. Therefore, we need not forsake our religion for the sake of political favour.

Mr. Imna said that he did what was right and that he was clear in his conscience. The conscience can be wrongly formed and the thinking brain can be paralyzed with wrong thoughts. A big body does not mean

big conscience or big brain. Even wrong actions can be termed as right with the best justification. Yet, the basis of Christian faith cannot be debated or argued upon. Just because Mizoram did the immersion without any opposition does not mean that Nagaland have to do the same. Just because Mizoram have good roads does not mean that Nagaland have the same. Just because Mizos are known for singing does not mean that every Naga should sing like them. We have vast differences in life-style and community living.

Nagas are not responsible for Mizos and vice versa. I respect Mr. Imna as a Naga politician but not as a safronised Naga politician.

If the ashes of Late Vajpayee is to be spread across the country compulsorily, I am sure, the dead body of Mr. Modi (if he dies today) will be sacredly dismembered with much reverence to be shared among the twenty nine States and seven union territories (ref. the dismemberment of Purusha, the primal man in the Vedic myth). The States and Union territories will be asked to cremate the particular part of body as per the given direction of the BJP. The Naga politicians who love and adore him day and night will surely demand his head (matha he lobo lage. Areey!

Naga khan to headhunters ase to).

To get his head will be culturally fitting for Nagas! The Naga politicians (BJP) will cremate the body (the head) inside the newly built church and say that they are performing burnt offering to God, the Father through Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit. They will offer incense and burnt offering like Jethro, Job and David (ref: Exo.18:12, Job 1:5, 1st Chro. 21:18-27 respectively). They will interpret their action Christianly even though it is a Hindu ritual. The sacrifices they undergo for the sake of Nagas are more than that of Jesus passion and death. But to replace Jesus on the Cross, none of them are willing! Every action can be justified because India is a secular State. And Nagaland is more secular than other States. We can believe any gods and

goddesses. We can move from one religion to another from Sunday to Saturday. We can pray inside our homes and say that home is sweeter than the Church. We can even exalt political leaders to the status of gods and goddesses. There are many Zeus and Apollo inside self-created political heaven. The Christian God will be kind enough to give his place to some of our political leaders. To hide behind the cloud of unknowing does not make us wise. It makes us less human. It can only diminish the image of God in us.

The Lothas and Aos, the Nagaland Joint Christian Forum and many Churches and organizations have given their best reasons as to why such immersion of Vajpayee’s ashes is not necessary in Nagaland.

And this should be respected by all peace loving brothers and sisters.

We must keep the dignity of our State as Christians (not as Hindus).

Whatever is practiced outside the Christian faith need not be practiced in Nagaland. Those who assumed that the ashes of Late Vajpayee be immersed in the rivers of Nagaland may be cremated at their death and their holy ashes be thrown in the drainage beside their own homes for peace and prosperity (the body may be sinful, but the ashes are holy!). This may avoid mosquitoes, landslide and flood.

The refusal of Nagas to immerse Vajpayee’s ashes in Nagaland is not to disrespect him. The Nagas grieved his death and paid the highest respect to him. We respect various leaders of the country whether dead or alive. But every admiration has its boundary. And every honour has its margin. Decent respect and honour to Late Vajpayee is highly commendable and appreciated.

But to mix his ashes in our cup of tea may not be tasty. This is why Nagas opposed the immersion of Vajpayee’s ashes in its land. May God grant eternal rest to the departed soul of Mr. Vajpayee. God Bless Nagaland.

Illegal immigrants’ issue

I

n this world, challenges come in different forms to every one- as a nation, group in a region, tribe, family or as an individual.

The immigration issue is a worldwide nationality phenomenon. India is not exceptional that in turn is impacting Northeastern region of India and even the Nagas.

Historically, Bengal was partitioned into East and West Bengals by Lord Curzon in 1905 during the suzerainty of the British.

The partition was on religious line. East Bengal was predominantly Muslims and the West BengalHindus. Then again, India was partitioned into India and Pakistan in 1947. East Bengal joined Pakistan as East Pakistan. In their new country, they were discriminated by the Pakistanis. So they wanted to free themselves. India helped them in the war against Pakistan in 1971. As a result, a new independent country called Bangladesh was born in 1972. And now the issue of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants has been the burning issue in the aftermath of Assam Government’s National Citizen Register exercise to deal with the problem. It is a problem so complex. It is a legacy of the British divide and rule policy over the Indians passed down from nation to nation and eventually to you and me. Thus, the Nagas, by virtue of being ruled by Independent India since 1947 is sharing the problem. To this end, Naga nation should come together. Independent Naga State-will be the best option to figure out for a comprehensive solution to tackle this ever alarming threat to our future survivability as a

group of dignified people in our own land.

As a regional problem, the Northeastern states, lack coordination and master plan as their political leaders in New Delhi can only make a call or in other words, foreign policy is in the domain of the Central Government. That’s exactly why; it is too dangerous to wait until these people in question become a law and order problem in our region. By then, it will be too late. Nevertheless, helplessness persists because at the ground level, the realities of this problem is politicised by political parties.

Naga as a community too is aware of the threat but there is no political will.

Nagaland government with Article 371 A in place can on its own take concrete measures. But, we don’t seem to have visionary leaders as of now, in as far as, this issue is concerned. Inner line permit is there too except in Dimapur town area. Still, the problem seems to be no lesser even in Kohima.

As a tribe, frisking at vulnerable entry points have been initiated by local bodies. We have to. It is better late than never.

As a family, restraint from giving shelter as tenant in our house.

As an individual, do not trust illegal immigrants how good or innocent they may be. Illegal is illegal. You and I shouldn’t partner with them. It’s not because we hate them but because we have this threat of becoming a helples minority group of people in our own land.

Let us be aware and live today for our better tomorrow.

Lolly Bashu

A better and brighter society to live in My dear naga brothers and sisters, Every Naga Village is a sovereign independent, village. Our land is rich in vegetation, wild life, minerals, rivers, mountains, valleys, forest, suitable climate and etc. It is a free gift from the one who is in above. He has entrusted us to steward all these gifts of nature and its habitats as well. We need to acknowledge and thankful to Him for giving us such a rich and beautiful land. For these reasons the people are healthy and strong. Our forefathers were really strong that they could walked down to Kuda/Dimapur and return the same day to Kohima through short cuts on foot. So also did other nagas. Perhaps He who is on above did not destine us to live under any other alien culture.

Even during the time of head hunting each and every Naga village was at its best to fight against the enemy in defence of their people, village and territories. In those day if a weaker village was about to fall it seeks the help of a strong village of farflung region/area.

Then the strong village would come up in support of that weak village by openly challenging the attacking village/villages and thus defends the weak to continue living in their village in peace. Such love to one another among our forefathers then was of so great value. They never thought of giving away their land and rights to any other unknown invading people. So in times of need they even killed their own man or woman when he/ she betray his/her people.

The love of people for their village and its territories was so dear to all Nagas then. Even in times of war, warriors spend days and nights in the fields

and jungles yearning for a higher realm of life than this earthly life. Thus they composed songs about love pathetic condition of human life on earth. A poem of their’s goes, “If there is a place where no one dies, then I would take my lover and go to live there eternally”. Even in the midst of war and worry they deeply longed for comfortable, stable, secure and eternity. It’s so pathetic to think about their life as the gospel of eternal life couldn’t reach our land in those days.

In the nineteenth century our forefathers’ strong resistance against colonial invasion was an eye opener to the Nagas. They fought against the British’s well armed forces several times.

The then Nagas didn’t want to live under any foreign domination. Consequently they gave their best in fighting the British Govt. then.

Some portion of present Assam was our forefathers traditional hunting lands/ jungle. Nagas killed several British soldiers in wars and some in these jungles. At last an unwritten peace treaty was made between the British and the Nagas.

But since then the Govt. set foot in the land of the Nagas at Kohima as the Head Quarter. Thus an alien system of governing the people was established in our land inspite of our forefathers strongest opposition against it. The British Govt. witnessed researched every minute life and activities about our social life, religious practices, clothing, fooding, festivals rites, sport, war, music, education, morung life, feasts of merits, hunting, early life, youthful life, elderly man’s life, respect of elders etc and etc. By seeing all these areas of our cultural and traditional practices they said that “Nagas are living the purest

form of Democracy which no one can deny”.

On the eve of British Govt’s departure from India Naga leaders under the banner of Naga Club told them that they (British) must leave the Nagas alone for the Nagas themselves will decide their own future. To this effect Nagas submitted a memorandum to British Simon Commission. But on leaving India the British Govt. was silent about Nagas and thus Nagas were left helpless. Consequently the helpless Nagas re-organized themselves and formed their political organization on collective will and consensus. Thus under the banner of Naga National Council they declared Naga Independence on 14.08.1947 a day before India declared her Independence. Again “Nagas plebiscite was conducted and their “memorandum to Simon Commission” and “Declaration of Independence” were firmly re-affirmed.

Inspite of their genuine history and political rights Govt. of India occupied Nagas land by force and killed several thousands of Nagas. Our dearest fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters were gruesomely gunned down and tortured in many cases.

Someone were swallowed by water on returning from China while comrades celebrated Christmas with fern leaves only, didn’t get even a drop of water and left at the mercy of the one on high above firing bullets like rainfall, bullets just falls down before reaching our boys and they were miraculously saved of which few are still alive today. This may be an evidence that the Almighty God protected the right in extreme situation . At other encounters some Naga soldiers who

were hit by enemy bullets wounded, hands bidding , good-bye to friends and at last rested in peace in foreign land. Mothers carrying babies and were gunned down by Indian Arm Forces entrusted their sisters and in laws to look after their babies and gone forever.

Atrocities and killings of this nature are many.

The bones of many of our brothers who fell to the enemy bullets are still lying in river beds and jungles of foreign land till today. They gave their whole /everything for our “Tomorrow” These happened when Nagas were one in the spirit of Naga Nationalism.

With the signing of the so called infamous “Shillong Accord”, things have changed drastically within the Naga family followed by brothers killing brothers and this might be a stumbling block to the unity of our Naga family in some extent. However, some have worked hard for the political cause of the Nagas and brought the “ Indo Naga Political Talk”, for which we are eagerly waiting that something good, acceptable, workable and honourable to the Nagas will come. But in case if the outcome of the talk is short of Nagas sovereign independent the solution may not be conclusive.

As for the Western Angami Sub-Regional Council (NNC) the body was formed since the inception of Naga National Freedom Movement and is functional without any gap till today. In their last general meeting held in 2017 a new team of office bearers has been installed . For WASRC(NNC) the question of new NNC, original NNC, parent NNC etc etc doesn’t arise, since it upholds the principles and ideologies of the NNC

formed during nineteen forties and fifties and especially “ The Nagas plebiscite of 1952”.

Let us ponder on our future. Today we are all Christian and wants to be alright in everything which I feel is quite okay, please allow me to raise the following questions: 1. Is our National Movement not in accordance with the will of the Almighty God? 2. Is the movement not genuine?

3. Do the claim of our rights not factfull?

4. Is our fight for self determination wrong and baseless?

5. Is there any better and brighter future for us than this?

Personally, I believe that the claims and rights we are fighting for are all correct and not against the

will of God, for He may not like His children to live under the domination of unbelievers. But we the Nagas are failing on our part as a true Christian.

Conclusions of individuals may differ from person to person. Yet if our stand/fight is wrong to you please excuse me.

But if you agree with me, is it okay to leave it die our?

Besides can we exchange our rights with money and betray our people of several thousands who gave their life for the cause of our tomorrow? Now is the time for Nagas to live up to their faith then we will be able to love one another and even Indians. Then their leaders will start loving us. Then only Nagas will start living in a better and brighter society.

Sir,

The customs of burning the dead

While different cultures of man have different ways of disposing the human body after Death, (cremation) the burning of the dead is a religiously Rite among the Hindus. The Cremation of the dead body sans religious rites in the Crematorium is adopted now increasingly even in the West as a convenient and decent way of disposing the dead body.

Ants and Humans are the only two species in the Animal Kingdom that have Graveyard or Cemetery.

The religious burning of a person alive is an anathema to the very Life all human respects and values.

The willful burning of the dead body and immersing the Ashes in a religious manner in all the rivers everywhere in the country, is an unconscionable anathema, and unacceptable affront to the native culture of Nagaland.

Christians prohibit Sacrifice to God by burning of the humans body; any aspects of worshiping the Christian God Jihovah with the burning of the Body alive or dead, is unnecessary and unchristian.

Cong charges complete falsehood: Jaitley

Yashwant-Sinha

Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Wednesday termed the Congress allegations on the Rafale deal as “complete falsehood” and said the basic aircraft price at which the fighter jets had been bought was 9 per cent cheaper than that negotiated by the UPA government.

In a blogpost, Jaitley accused the Congress of seriously compromising national security by delaying the Rafale deal by over a decade and alleged that it was raising issues to “further delay defence procurement so that India’s defence preparedness further suffers”.

He said the Congress had launched a “false campaign” that the Modi government had paid a higher price for the fighter jets, an industrialist had been favoured and the interests of the public sector were compromised.

“Each one of the above issues is based on complete falsehood. It is expected from national political parties and its responsible leaders to keep themselves informed of the basic facts before they enter a public discourse on defence transactions,” Jaitley said.

“Every fact that Gandhi and the Congress has spoken on pricing and procedure are completely false,” he said.

Why govt scared of JPC: Congress

The Congress on Wednesday kept up its attack on the Rafale deal, alleging that Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley was trying to cover up a “scandal with scandal” and asked why the government was “scared” for a JPC probe.

Party President Rahul Gandhi attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Arun Jailtey in a tweet while Congress Spokesperson Manish Tewari posed queries on the deal at the party’s regular briefing here.

The opposition party’s attack came hours after Jaitley, in a blogpost, termed the Congress charges on the Rafale deal “complete falsehood.”

Hitting back, Gandhi said that the government should then accept a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe.

“Mr Jaitley, thanks for bringing the nation’s attention back to the Great Rafale Robbery! How about a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to sort it out?”

Problem is, your supreme leader is protecting his friend. So this may be inconvenient. Do check and revert in 24 hours. We’re waiting!” Gandhi said.

Jaitley too had asked Gandhi and his party to “respond immediately” to the questions raised by him.

BENGALURU/NEW DELHI, AUG 29 (PTI/ IANS): Former union minister Yashwant Sinha today said instead of a joint parliamentary committee being constituted, CAG should conduct forensic audit to bring out the “criminal negligence or intent” in the Rafale deal.

“I had suggested that the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) should do a forensic audit, to bring out the criminal negligence or intent (of the central government). I am emphasizing this point because Congress wants joint parliamentary committee.

At this stage such a committee is neither here nor there,” he told reporters here. A forensic audit is an examination and evaluation of a firm’s or individual’s financial information for use as evidence in court.

It can be conducted in order to prosecute a party for fraud, embezzlement or

other financial claims.

Giving reasons against forming JPC, Sinha said it would not serve its purpose of bringing out the “wrongs” in Rafale deal because of paucity of time.

“The next parliament session will be held in November and JPC has to be approved by both Houses. The resolution can be passed only in November and after that the Lok Sabha’s life will be a few months. So, it would not be able to finish its task,” he said.

Sinha alleged there was a huge scam in the deal running into Rs 1,000 crore and hence the government is reluctant to reveal anything on this front.

Sinha, a critic of the NDA government, alleged that the BJP government reduced ‘Make In India’ slogan into a mere slogan by not giving ‘offset obligation’ to Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.

The Cochin International Airport, among the busiest in the country, suffered an estimated loss between Rs 220-250 crore after it was closed on August 15. The airport has commenced full-scale operations -- both international and domestic -with an Indigo flight from Ahmedabad making the first landing at around 2.05 pm, said a spokesperson of the CIAL -- the company that operates it.

NEW DELHI, AUG 29 (PTI): The Cabinet today approved additional 2 per cent hike in Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR), a move that will benefit about 1.1 crore central government employees and pensioners, an official release said.

The impact on the exchequer on account of both DA and DR would be Rs 6,112.20 crore per annum and Rs 4,074.80 crore in the financial year 2018-19 (8 months from July, 2018 to February, 2019).

The hike will be effected from July 1, 2018, the release said.

The hike will benefit about 48.41 lakh central government employees and 62.03 lakh pensioners.

As per the release, the increase is in accordance with the accepted formula, which is based on the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission.

scope for credit absorption and expansion in bank lending on a sustained basis,” the report said. On inflation which averaged 4.8 per cent during Q1:2018-19, is likely to face upside risks over the rest of the year from a number of sources, warranting continuous vigil and a readiness to head off those pressures from getting generalised, it said.

Rising global commodity prices, especially of crude oil, and recent global financial market developments are firming up input cost pressures.

The RBI has cautioned that global headwinds are likely to confront India’s ex-

ternal sector in 2018-19.

Even though exports have gathered momentum in April-June quarter of 201819, the worsening global trade environment as a result of “protectionist policies” may impinge upon external demand, it said.

Elevated crude oil prices and the strengthening of domestic demand may push up the import bill.

evolving economic conditions, real GDP growth for 2018-19 is expected to increase to 7.4 per cent from 6.7 per cent in the previous year, with risks evenly balanced,” said the RBI’s Annual Report.

The report has maintained the projection regarding GDP growth for the current fiscal as estimated in the third bi-monthly monetary policy of 2018-19 announced earlier this month.

Going forward, it said the up-tick in credit growth is likely to be supported by the progress being made under the aegis of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) in addressing stress on balance sheets of both corporates and banks, recapitalisation of state-owned banks, and a positive outlook on the economy.

Mumbai, Aug 29 (PTI): The r upee Wednesday plunged to all-time low of 70.65 to the US dollar in day trade on heavy month-end dollar demand from importers and foreign capital outflows.

The local currency dropped by 49 paise or 0.70 per cent to close at 70.59 to the dollar at the interbank foreign exchange market, logging its biggest single-day drop since August 13 when it nosedived 110 paise or 1.6 per cent. The rupee had earlier hit its all-time closing low of 70.16 on Monday.

Consistent dollar demand from banks and importers, mainly oil refiners, following higher crude oil prices, kept the rupee under pressure, dealers said.

Donald Trump warns of ‘violence’ if Democrats win

Lo n d o n, Au g 2 9 (Agencies): US President Donald Trump has warned that his policies will be “violently” overturned if the Democrats win November’s mid-term elections, BBC reported.

He told Evangelical leaders that the vote was a “referendum” on freedom of speech and religion, and that these were threatened by “violent people”.

He appealed to conservative Christian groups for help, saying they were one vote away from “losing everything”. Mid-term elections are widely seen as a test of the president’s popularity.

Mr Trump has been battling negative publicity after his ex-lawyer and former campaign chief were convicted earlier this month.

An audio recording of Mr Trump’s closed-door meeting with Evangelical leaders at the White House was leaked to US media.

During the meeting, Mr Trump said the midterm elections were not just a referendum on him but also “on your religion, it’s a

Donald Trump

referendum on free speech and the First Amendment [guaranteeing basic freedoms]”.

“It’s not a question of like or dislike, it’s a question that they will overturn everything that we’ve done and they will do it quickly and violently. And violently.

There is violence. When you look at Antifa - these are violent people,” he said.

Antifa - short for antifascist - refers to groups of far-left protesters who fight far-right ideology and regularly clash with far-right demonstrators.

The US president has previously criticised leftwing groups, infamously saying that there had been violence on “many sides” af-

ter a white nationalist killed a left-wing demonstrator at a white nationalist protest in Charlottesville last year.

Urging the Evangelical leaders to use their influence to swing voters, Mr Trump told them they had “tremendous power”.

“In this room, you have people who preach to almost 200 million people. Depending on which Sunday we’re talking about,” he said.

“Little thing: Merry Christmas, right? You couldn’t say ‘Merry Christmas’,” he added, according to US media reports.

Two of those who heard Mr Trump speak downplayed the remarks, according to a reporter from National Public Radio (NPR). President Donald Trump himself is not up for re-election, but his ability to govern in the final two years of his term will hinge upon the November 6 outcome.

All 435 members of the House of Representatives, 35 seats in the 100-member Senate and 36 out of 50 state governors, along with many state and local offices, are up for election.

She lived in Radhanagar area of Pabna district, some 150 kms from here.

Suborna, who is survived by a nine-year-old daughter, was awaiting divorce from her husband, the report said.

The assailants, said to be around 10 to 12, came riding motorcycles and rang the doorbell of her house at around 10:45 PM on Tuesday, it said.

When she answered the door, they indiscriminately hacked her and fled the spot, Pabna Additional Superintendent of Police Ibne Mizan said.

The assailants used a sharp-edged weapon to attack her, police said.

Some locals rushed her to hospital where she was declared brought dead.

YA NGON , A u g 2 9 (Agencies): Myanmar rejected on Wednesday a report by United Nations investigators that called for top generals to be prosecuted for genocide, saying the international community was making “false allegations”, Reuters reported.

The U.N. report marked the first time the organisation has explicitly called for Myanmar officials to face genocide charges over a brutal crackdown on Rohingya Muslims last year.

“Our stance is clear and I want to say sharply that we don’t accept any resolutions conducted by the Human Rights Council,” the main government spokesman, Zaw Htay, said in an interview published in state media.

The fact-finding mission on Myanmar was established in March 2017 by the U.N. Human Rights Council.

Myanmar did not allow U.N investigators to enter the country, Zaw Htay said, adding: “That’s why we don’t agree and accept any resolutions made by the Human Rights Council”.

He said the country has “zero tolerance to any human rights violation” and had set up a Commission

of Enquiry to respond to “false allegations” made by the U.N. and “other international communities”.

The government earlier this year set up a panel comprised of two Myanmar and two international members – Filipino diplomat Rosario Manalo and Kenzo Oshima, Japan’s former ambassador to the U.N. - to investigate human rights abuses.

Myanmar has denied most of the allegations, saying the military responded to a legitimate threat from Rohingya militants, who attacked police posts across the western Rakhine state.

“If there is any case against human rights, just give us strong evidence, record and date so that we can take legal action against those who break the rules and regulations,” Zaw Htay

said.

Malaysia’s foreign ministry said on Wednesday it was Myanmar’s responsibility to take action against those to blame for the alleged genocide committed in Rakhine State.

Should Myanmar prove “unwilling or incapable of ensuring justice”, the U.N. Security Council should step in and establish an international judicial mechanism to try the individuals most responsible for the crimes, the ministry said.

“Malaysia will continue to speak about the plight of the Rohingyas. We will also continue to call for international support for the Government of Bangladesh, in which close to a million Rohingyas have found refuge,” Malaysian Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdul-

lah said in the statement.

Around 700,000 Rohingya have fled the military crackdown in western state of Rakhine to neighbouring Bangladesh, according to U.N. agencies. They joined nearly 200,000 Rohingya who had been already been living in camps there for years.

In the Bangladesh capital Dhaka, State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shahriar Alam told reporters the U.N. produced “the most comprehensive, factual and crucial report since the attack in August last year”.

Alam said it was natural for Myanmar to reject the report, but he added: “That does not matter. The world knows everything”.

On the same day that the U.N. released its report, Facebook shut down the account of army general Min Aung Hlaing and other top military officials, accusing them of using its platform to spread “hate and misinformation”.

In the interview published on Wednesday, Zaw Htay said the government had not ordered the ban and was questioning Facebook about the action, saying it had caused “mounting criticism and fear among the people”.

bigger footprint in Pacific

S Y DNE Y, A u g 2 9 (Agencies): The United States, Australia, France and Britain will open new embassies in the Pacific, boost staffing levels, and engage with leaders of island nations more often in a bid to counter China’s rising influence in the region, sources have told Reuters.

The battle for influence in the sparsely populated Pacific matters because each of the tiny island states has a vote at international forums like the United Nations, and they also control vast swathes of resource-rich ocean.

China has spent $1.3 billion on concessionary loans and gifts since 2011 to become the Pacific’s second-largest donor after Australia, stoking concern in the West that several tiny nations could end up overburdened and in debt to Beijing.

In response, Australia, New Zealand and the United States say they will increase economic aid and expanding their diplomatic presence to countries in the region, government officials and diplomats told Reuters.

“We are concerned

about Chinese practices that lead to unsustainable debt,” said a U.S. government source with direct knowledge of Washington’s plan for the region, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The U.S. official said Washington needed to have adequate representation in the Pacific countries in order to let their governments know what options were open to them and the consequences of taking offers from elsewhere.

China’s embassy in Australia did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Islamabad, Aug 29 (PTI): The Interpol has rejected Pakistan’s request to arrest General Pervez Musharraf as it does not want to interfere in cases of political nature, the government Wednesday informed a special court hearing the high treason case against the former military dictator who is now in Dubai.

The government’s reply came as the tribunal resumed hearing in the treason case against the former president for suspending the Constitution in 2007 by imposing emergency.

Gen. (retd) Musharraf, 75, was indicted in the case in March 2014 after he appeared before the court and rejected all charges.

Interior Secretar y Yousuf Naseem Khokhar in his reply on efforts to bring Musharraf back to the country informed the court that a letter was written to Interpol to issue a Red Warrant. But it returned the letter by refusing to interfere in cases of political nature.

Khokhar appeared

Differences between officials are “natural”, he added, though he said they should not be covered by the media “because the people would become worried”.

Tuesday’s grilling in parliament was the first for Rouhani in five years as president, and lawmakers slammed his handling of five economic issues, ranging from unemployment to the collapsing value of the currency.

In voting at the end of the session, they declared they were unsatisfied with four of his responses.

A

pair of Utah newlyweds died in a rollover crash in Washington state on Sunday while driving to their honeymoon, reports said.

Officials believe Amy Moffat, 28, fell asleep at the wheel.

When the vehicle drifted to the left, she overcorrected and caused the red pickup truck to roll, officials said, The Spokesman-Review reported. She and her husband of 15 days, Stephen Graham died at the scene.

“Shakespeare couldn’t have written this story,” Spencer Luczak, a good friend who was driving behind them, told Fox 13 Now. Luczak said he ran to the truck after the crash, but when he “knew they were gone.”

The accident occured on the Interstate-82 about 6

miles east of Prosser, Wash., and just west of Washington’s Tri-City area, KSL. com reported. In an August Facebook post, Moffat celebrated their union.

“Stephen and I, in joyful disbelief, united our lives together and became husband and wife,” she wrote in the post. “I can’t

tell you how much I love this man.”

“For now our marriage is until death do us part,” Moffat wrote.

Moffat worked as a nutritional therapy practitioner, The Spokesman-Review reported. Graham was a photographer, videographer and editor.

Jordan?” asked one boy, who exclaimed, “Oh my god!” when the actor confirmed his identity.

“You’re from Black Panther!” screamed another excited kid as the 31 year old greeted each youngster with a warm handshake.

“Keep working hard,” he encouraged them.

Michael then gathered the boys and offered up a little sage advice before posing for a group photo.

ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW “You gotta listen to your teachers… Make sure you listen to your parents,” he told them. “Work hard…, just pay attention in school, it’ll go by real quick, know what I’m saying?”

Michael’s post earned him high praise from his Instagram followers, with celebrity fans Gabrielle Union, TV mogul Shonda Rhimes, rapper Machine Gun Kelly, and basketball ace LeBron James all applauding his kind gesture.

The star’s new movie is a biopic based on the life of local civil rights attorney Bryan Stevenson, who founded Montgomery’s Equal Justice Initiative, through which he helped wrongfully convicted or unfairly sentenced prisoners fight for their freedom.

The actor will portray Stevenson, opposite Jamie Foxx as his client Walter McMillian, who served six years on death row after he was convicted on false testimony. He was exonerated in 1993 after filing his fifth appeal.

Just Mercy, which is based on Stevenson’s 2014 book of the same name, will also star O’Shea Jackson Jr. and Brie Larson, and is set for release in 2020.

lasting TV sensation. The drama aired from 2008 until 2014.

“We’re not only dealing with the dark side of it, we are dealing with the human aspect of the family, the understanding of who we are as people,” he explained. “You can criticize almost anything… There’s something about what happens when you deal with the dark side like the Dexters, like the ‘Sons of Anarchy,’ — they become very powerful pieces of work because the audience really [is] driven to it.”

But Sutter isn’t shying away from real-life political happenings. While politics or border issues aren’t dominant themes of the story, they are part of the journey audiences will embark on.

To keep the storyline authentic, Pardo confirmed “Mayans M.C.” was not only filmed in a real-life California border town but also at times across the border in Mexico.

“The Caucasian actors work extremely, a lot, compared to Asian Americans, Indigenous, Latino. Afri-

can Americans are starting to get a balance overall, but it hasn’t changed.

“It’s gotten worse, because there’s so much more diversity in this country, and yet the art forms are not catching up to it and are not equal on par. It’s a [really] difficult journey, but we’re doing it one step at a time.”

Pa r d o a d d e d h e ’s grateful for the role. He insisted that curious viewers who tune in will be taken for a ride — one they won’t soon forget.

“Kurt Sutter brought up one time that during the auditioning process for this, there was a smaller pool, there was a limited pool of Latino actors that he had,” he explained. “That’s when it hit me that the reason why there’s a smaller pool is because there is a lack of opportunity.

“I look at this job, and I’m just grateful. I’m grateful that I’ve been given an opportunity today because it is a blessing. There are just a lot of Latino actors out there that just don’t have that opportunity.”

“I watched them live together, I watched them ride bikes together, smile together, and laugh, and I watched them die together, but they went hand in hand through the veil and that gives me reassurance that they’re still together,” Luczak told Fox 13.

Founder of 'original' Facebook claims

T

he founder of the 'original' Facebook has claimed Mark Zuckerberg's social network has failed to protect its users and is to blame for 'countless deaths.'

Aaron Greenspan created the 'Universal Face Book' at Harvard University four months before Mr Zuckerberg registered Facebook.com and launched his website using aspects of Mr Greenspan's version.

He later won a payout – an undisclosed sum – from Facebook after arguing that he came up with the idea first.

But now, he has reignited his feud with the Silicon Valley billionaire by claiming Mr Zuckerberg compromised safeguards and security for the sake of growth.

Mr Greenspan told the Daily Telegraph that Mr Zuckerberg, Facebook's chief executive, ignored his warnings – instead making the network as addictive as tobacco and costing lives.

He cited the leaked memo written by Facebook's vice president Andrew Bosworth, who said the site's determination to connect people might cause deaths by exposing them to bullies or if a terrorist co-ordinated an attack using Facebook.

Had he remained involved, Mr Greenspan said he would have stressed the importance of quality.

In his confidential settlement with Mr Greenspan, Facebook commended his 'hard work and innovation' in developing the Universal Face Book, according to the Telegraph.

‘Mayans M.C.’ stars discuss filming in California border town: ‘It was eye-opening’ ayans M.C.,” the highspeed spinoff of the wildly popular gang drama “Sons of Anarchy,” is facing some fierce comparisons, but its stars insist they aren’t feeling the pressure.

The Kurt Sutter follow-up for FX tells the story of EZ Reyes (JD Pardo), an outlaw fresh out of prison who is a prospect in the Mayan M.C. charter on the California-Mexico border. Oscar-nominated actor Edward James Olmos plays EZ’s father Felipe Reyes. Olmos, 71, told Fox News that unlike the world of Jax Teller, the upcoming stories for the upcoming series are completely different from each other.

“It doesn’t deal with the ‘Sons of Anarchy’ world,” Olmos stressed.

“This is a uniquely different storytelling process...

This one takes off from that place where it ended and moves forward. It’s very strong [and] very well understood by Kurt Sutter and [co-creator] Elgin James and all the producers and writers that are taking part in it.”

But viewers aren’t just pointing out the correlations between both shows.

Some critics have claimed that “Mayans M.C.” comes across as stereotypically depicting Latinos as criminals. Olmos said not only is it far from it, but it embraces the same dark side that makes good entertainment, which led to “Sons of Anarchy” becoming a

Back in June, she also teamed up with Sheryl Crow to release their collaborative new single ‘Wouldn’t Want to Be Like You’. Clark lends her backing and co-lead vocals to the song, as well as her trademark distorted guitar. “I called her and said, ‘I am dying to have you bring your St. Vincent-ness to this.’

“And I sent it to her, and her response was, ‘Fuck yeah.’ That was a direct quote, as only Annie Clark can respond, which I loved.

She did all kinds of stuff on it, and we pretty much used all of it.”

Confident India aim to level series in 4th Test

Southampton, Aug 29 (IANS): After a moraleboosting win at Nottingham, India will be aiming to level the five-match rubber when they take on England in the fourth cricket Test starting at the Rose Bowl Ground here from Thursday.

After a narrow 31-run loss in the first Test at Edgbaston, the visitors suffered an innings defeat at Lord’s and were on the verge of losing the series. However, the Virat Kohli-led Indian team bounced back in the third Test to register an emphatic 203-run victory,

keeping the series alive.

Kohli’s side still trail 1-2 in the series and will be eyeing to replicate their previous show to level the series before going to the decider.

On Thursday, the Indian skipper is most likely expected to stick with the winning combination.

Kohli currently leads the run charts with 440 runs, which includes two centuries and as many half-centuries and once again, the Indian batting will more or less depend on the 29-year-old.

Vice captain Ajinkya

KDFRA get together

Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara scored 81 and 72 runs respectively in the third Test and both will need to repeat their performance here.

With Murali Vijay axed from the remainder of the series, Shikhar Dhawan and Lokesh Rahul would once again open India’s batting, while Hardik Pandya is likely to be retained in the playing XI after his all-round show in the third Test.

Hardik had bagged

six wickets conceding 50 runs at Nottingham beside playing an unbeaten 52run knock in the second innings.

In the bowling department, the visitors would in all likelihood opt for three pacers, keeping in mind the green-top laid out for the fourth Test. The trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Shami returned a handful from the third Test, with Bumrah’s fifer ripping through the English batting

Rishabh Pant (WK), Karun Nair, Hardik Pandya, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Hanuma Vihari, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah.

Swapna, Arpinder shine as India extend golden run in athletics tains for world silver-medallist Sarjubala Devi (51kg) after she lost her quarterfinal bout 0-5 to China’s Chang Yuan. Her loss means that Indian women boxers would be returning without a medal from the Asiad for the first time since the event was added to the Games in 2010.

The overall haul from boxing is going to be just two this time, a massive drop from a gold and four bronze medals achieved in 2014.

(R) India’s Amit Panghal (Blue) and PR Korea’s Ryong Jong compete in the Men’s Light Fly (46-49kg) Quarterfinal boxing event in Jakarta, Indonesia on Wednesday. (PTI)

Ja k a rta , Au g 2 9 (PTI): Heptathlete Swapna Barman added a dash of heroism to her historic gold medal, triple jumper Arpinder Singh personified the predictability that comes with a favourite tag, while sprinter Dutee Chand continued to rediscover herself as track-and-field remained India’s happy hunting ground at the 18th Asian Games here.

The sur prise story of the day was table tennis where old warhorse A Sharath Kamal and new sensation Manika Batra broke new grounds, giving India a first ever mixed doubles medal at the Asiad -- a bronze.

As a result of these path-breaking performances, the country remained on course to better its previous edition’s haul and tallied 54 medals -- 11 gold, 20 silver and 23 bronze.

Competing with a

plastered face owing to a teeth injury, described as a case of infection, the battle-hardened Swapna topped the overall standings to garb her maiden Asiad gold.

The daughter of a rickshaw puller who has been bed-ridden by stroke since 2013, Swapna logged 6026 points from the seven events competed over two days. She won the high jump (1003 points) and javelin throw (872 points) events and finished second-best in shot put (707 points) and long jump (865 points).

Her weakest events were 100m (981 points, 5th position) and 200m in which she finished seventh with 790 points. But the tremendous overall effort was enough to make her the first heptathlete to notch up a gold at the continental showpiece.

Another history-mak-

er was Arpinder, becoming the first triple jumper in 48 years to fetch a gold after Mohinder Singh Gill (1970).

The athlete from Punjab bossed the finals, making the gold-winning jump of 16.77m in just his third attempt and was never really threatened by the rest of the field.

Then there was Dutee, continuing to enjoy her return to top flight athletics, by adding a 200m silver to the one she clinched in the 100m event.

Dutee was not allowed to compete at the 2014 Commonwealth Games as she was embroiled in a hyperandrogenism case, which eventually went in her favour at the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS).

Today, she crossed the line in 23.20 which was 0.149 slower than the gold medal winner from

Hima blames ‘tremendous pressure’ for Asiad 200m flop

New Delhi, Aug 29 (IANS): Rising sprinter Hima Das has blamed “tremendous pressure” as the reason behind her false start during the second semi-final of the women’s 200 metres race at the 2018 Asian Games.

On Tuesday, around an hour before she claimed the silver in mixed 4X400 metres relay along with Muhammed Anas, Rajiv Arokia and M.R. Poovamma, the teenaged Assam girl was red-carded following a false start in her women’s 200m semi-final.

Dejected at the early eviction, Hima took to social media later in the evening, where she blamed “two persons” from her home state for creating unnecessary controversy, which she felt was the reason for her flop show. “I was under tre-

Hima Das

mendous pressure. Certain statements, coming from two individuals, whom I don’t wish to name, have affected me and put me under pressure. I don’t want to name these individuals but it’s because of them that I flunked at the start of the 200m race,” Hima said.

“No player should go through such pressure. I felt I have done something..please

stop all these controversies.

More players are coming up in the near future. “I want to tell the people of Assam, specially those two persons to not engage in any further controversy,” added Hima, who became an overnight star after clinching a 400 metres gold at the IAAF World U-20 Championships at Tampere in Finland recently.

“I have faced a lot since 2014. No one has gone through such a bad phase. I am glad that I could win two medal for the country. There is always this fear that it might come back. But more the fear, the harder I train,” the diminutive runner said after finding her silver lining.

The Indian table tennis contingent’s dream run also got better when Kamal and Batra, both Commonwealth Games gold-winners, exceeded their own expectations to win a historic mixed doubles bronze.

It was only yesterday that the Kamal-led men’s team had secured a bronze, ending India’s 60-year-wait for a maiden medal at the Asian Games.

Today, Kamal and Batra played four matches in

National Sports Day: PM hails sportspersons N e w D e l h i , Au g 29 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday hailed the sportspersons on the occasion of the National Sports day and urged people to give priority to sports and fitness related activities.

Modi also paid tributes to Hockey legend Dhyan Chand, whose birth anniversary is commemorated as National Sports Day. “Greetings to all sports enthusiasts on National Sports Day. Tributes to the phenomenal hockey player, Major Dhyan Chandji on his birth anniversary.

I urge people to give priority to sports and fitness related activities, which will contribute towards a healthier India,” Modi said in a series of tweets.

a day and only the opener against Malaysia was comfortable.

In the semifinals, Kamal and Batra made life tough for China’s Yingsha Sun and Wang Sun before going down 9-11, 5-11, 1311, 4-11, 8-11.

“It has been an unbelievable campaign so far.

Not even in my wildest dreams, I thought of winning a medal at the Asian Games. Now I have got that too. I am still pinching myself,” said Kamal, who will also compete in the men’s doubles and singles competition.

The women’s hockey team provided the perfect end to the day, by making the finals with a 1-0 win over China. The team is now assured of a better medal than the bronze it won the last time around.

Also on a roll were the squash players. In their best ever show at the Games,

B e n g a lu ru, Au g 29 (Agencies): Manish Pandey-led India ‘B’ crushed Australia ‘A’ by nine wickets to win the quadrangular series involving India ‘A’, Australia ‘A’, South Africa ‘A’ and India ‘B’, India Today reported.

India ‘B’ put up an all-round show to down the Australians, who were filled with regular Aus-

tralia senior team players.

While Mayank Agarwal, Shubman Gill and Pandey starred with the bat, Siddarth Kaul, Prasidh Krishna and Shreyas Gopal bowled brilliantly to bowl out a fairly experienced Australian side for a paltry total of 225 from 47.5 overs.

Pandey won the toss and elected to bowl first and his decision was vindicated

when the bowlers reduced the Aussies to 56/2 from 9.4 overs. D’Arcy Short however, stood firm and looked to play a long innings but was not receiving enough support from the other end.

The Rajasthan Royals player ultimately fell for a 77-ball 72 with Australia’s score on 148/4 from 28.2 overs. Alex Carey and Ashton Agar then steadied the

Djokovic, Federer in US Open second round

Novak Djokovic

New York, Aug 29 (Agencies): Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic suffered in sweltering US Open conditions Tuesday but battled through to the second round with a 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-0 victory over Hungarian Marton Fucsovics, AFP reported.

Djokovic, playing his first match on Arthur Ashe

India B beat Aus A to win quadrangular series ship and put on a 44-run stand for the fifth wicket but Deepak Hooda removed Agar for a 32-ball 20 to reduce Australia to 192/5 from 38.3 overs. Carey fell soon after while trying to up the ante for a well-made 53 and Australia failed to kick on from there and were wrapped up for 225.

Gopal grabbed three wickets while Kaul, Krishna and Hooda all took two wickets apiece and Jalaj Saxena got a single wicket.

Chasing 226 to win, India B were off to a bad start as they lost Ishan Kishan early due to an injury but the incoming Gill and Agarwal steadied India and piled on the runs at a steady pace. Agarwal continued his fantastic form and was looking all set to score another ton but he fell for 69 off 67 balls when Agar clean bowled him.

With India’s score at 110/1 from 20.2 overs, Pandey walked in to bat

they were assured of two more medals after the men’s and women’s teams advanced to the semifinals.

The men’s defeated Thailand, while the women sailed past China, both winning by an identical 3-0 margin. The squash players had claimed three bronze medals in the singles competition and with two medals assured in team events, they have exceeded their 2014 performance in terms of number of medals won.

There were mixed results in the boxing ring.

Star boxer Vikas Krishan (75kg) overcame a bleeding left eye to be assured of an unprecedented third consecutive Asian Games medal, while Amit Panghal (49kg) produced a power-packed performance in his quarterfinal bout to guarantee himself a maiden podium finish.

However, it was cur-

There was no end to disappointments in judo, and sepaktakraw, where Indians failed to register any result of significance. After delivering a surprise silver and bronze yesterday, the Kurash contingent endured a disappointing day, failing to win.

Already out of reckoning, the Indian men’s handball team ended its campaign on a positive note, defeating Indonesia in a group 3 main round match.

and since then, the struggle for the Australian bowlers began. Gill played the anchor’s knock while Pandey attacked the bowlers and took India’s score for 200 in the 34th over to help India cruise towards a victory.

The pair ultimately took the team past the line in the 37th over with Gill being not out on 66 and Pandey unbeaten on 73.

In the third-fourth place play-off, Shreyas Iyer’s India ‘A’ hammered South Afirca ‘A’ by 124 runs to finish third. Batting first, India ‘A’ scored 275/7 from their 50 overs riding on fifties from Iyer and Ambati Rayudu. Beuran Hendricks starred with the ball for Proteas, picking up 3/39 from 10 overs. In reply, South Africa ‘A’ were reduced to 22/3 inside seven overs as the returning Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Deepak Chahar created immense trouble for the Proteas batsmen with swing.

Roger Federer

Stadium since falling to Stan Wawrinka in the 2016 final, received a brutal welcome back to Flushing Meadows as soaring temperatures and high humidity prompted organizers to offer the men a 10-minute mid-match heat break for the first time ever.

Until late in the third it was “survival mode” said Djokovic, who endured a

rocky start to the season after elbow surgery before breaking through for a 13th Grand Slam title at Wimbledon. His Cincinnati Masters victory over Roger Federer stamped him a US Open favourite along with defending champion Rafael Nadal, despite his modest sixth seeding.

He certainly looked a contender as he reeled off

the last 10 games against Fucsovics, showing signs of sharper focus even before the 10-minute heat break between the third and fourth sets.

Federer, the second seed, escaped the worst of the conditions as he headlined the night session on Ashe. Nor did he meet much resistance from Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka in a 6-2, 6-2, 6-4 victory.

Up 5-1 in the final set, Federer was unable to close out the match against Nishioka’s serve and then was broken on his first attempt to serve it out.

Federer, who claimed his 20th Grand slam title at the Australian Open in January, put the match away two games later, sealing it with a service winner.

“I didn’t know how really good Nishioka was,” Federer admitted of the 22year-old.
