He said the trust reposed by the people was a sign that the present crisis was going to be overcome and towards this, new strategies and plans would be implemented to strengthen NPF. Recalling his electoral battles, the veteran regionalist said that out of 11 elections he lost twice-one in 1989 assembly election and the other Lok Sabha election in 1999. He did not contest in 1998 in response to the call by Naga Hoho and subsequently the ‘Cock’ symbol was frozen by the ECI. Dr. Liezietsü decided to contest the 1999 Lok Sabha election to get back the ‘Cock’ symbol which he succeeded even though he lost the election. Dr. Liezietsü also took a dig at the forces arrayed against him such as the 47 legislators, the political heavyweights within and outside Nagaland and the state Governor. He cited the unconstitutional manner in which an expelled member– T.R. Zeliang- was appointed chief whip by legislators as against the official chief whip-Kiyanilie Peseyie- who was appointed by the party as per constitutional norms.

Zeliang. NPF said as per Tokheho’s version, the February 15 meeting appeared to be a turning point regarding the resolution to replace T.R. Zeliang. NPF however said the issue began on February 12 meeting, where Tokheho and Y. Patton, among few other MLAs “strongly proposed Dr. Shürhozelie to take over”. Based on this, a signature campaign was launched where Tokheho’s signature “figured prominently”, it said. (Full text on p-6)

SHILLONG, AUG 3 (PTI): A moderate intensity earthquake rocked the entire North Eastern region late Tuesday night, officials said. The tremor reading 5.4 magnitude in the Richter Scale struck at around 11.48pm Tuesday night. Its epicentre was in Churachandpur district of Manipur at a depth of about 55 km underneath the earth’s crust, an official at the Regional Seismological Centre here told PTI. There was, however, no loss of life or damage to property.
However, the check posts have been removed, said an official source in the state finance department, adding that necessar y notification for removal of the check posts was issued on July 25 last. With all these taxation check-posts and outposts would cease to exist, enforcement cells opened by the state taxation department would verify whether goods transported along highways conform to the GST Act or not. As GST would operate through internet service, they would not be any need for conventional documents. Details of suppliers of goods as well as their recipients would be uploaded in a computer system in advance. Goods transpor ted under this system would be verified by mobile enforcement cell. As such, there would not be any need to keep stationary taxation checkposts and outposts, informed the source.

Raids on Karnataka minister continue; Rs 11cr cash seized
Police and IT sleuths check the bag of a mechanic at the residence of Karnataka Minister DK Shivakumar, in Bengaluru on Thursday. (PTI) New Delhi, Aug 3 (Agencies): Income tax sleuths have seized cash totalling more than Rs 11 crore from various properties of Karnataka energy minister DK Shivakumar, officials said on Thursday even as raids continued at several locations allegedly linked to the Congress leader. While Rs 8.33 crore was seized in Delhi, Rs 2.5 crore was recovered from Bengaluru and Rs 60 lakh from Mysore, officials in the department told Hindustan Times. The raids have kicked off a political storm with the opposition Congress accusing the BJP-led government at the Centre of carrying out “an unprecedented witch-hunt”. The Karnataka minister is hosting a group of party legislators from Gujarat at a resort near Benga-
luru to avoid a break in their ranks ahead of Rajya Sabha elections on August 8. Officials said several bank lockers of the Congress leader have also been blocked though taxmen are yet to ascertain the amount and items in them. “Importantly, searches are still on at all these places and it is difficult at this point to give an estimate of how much more will be recovered,” said a senior official of the department, who did not wish to be identified. The department said the searches were carried out under Section 132 of the Income Tax Act “as an evidence gathering exercise which is being carried in compliance with all statutory requirements”. The search is a continuation of an investigation which has been in progress for a considerable period of
time, a statement from the department said. It added the timing of the search was decided well in advance. “The events involving certain MLAs of another state being brought to Karnataka were unforeseen and unpredictable events,” it said. “This is part of our operation against black money…there is no other agenda,” the official added. The Congress has accused the BJP of using “money and muscle power” to engineer defections among its legislators in Gujarat, where senior party leader Ahmed Patel is seeking re-election to the Rajya Sabha, on August 8. Six of its legislators have quit the party and three of them crossed over to the BJP. More defections can jeopardise Congress candidate Ahmed Patel’s chances of re-election.

This was decided because at least 21 votes were declared invalid during the President’s election. All the NDA leaders will also speak about the alliance’s Vice Presidential nominee M. Venkaiah Naidu. The Prime Minister will also host a dinner. Twenty-one items, including south Indian dishes, are on the menu. Naidu is contesting against opposition candidate Gopalkrishna Gandhi in the Vice President’s election. Naidu on Wednesday reached out to all members of Parliament across the parties, seeking their support for the August 5 election and said he would uphold ideals of the freedom struggle and principles of the Constitution. The numbers clearly suggest that Naidu is all set to win the election.
Major, soldier, 2 militants killed in Kashmir
Mehbooba Mufti along with officials and security forces personnel paying tributes to Maj Kamlesh Pandey and Sep Tanzin Chhultim, martyred in Shopian encounter. (PTI) S r i nag a r , Au g 3 (Agencies): Two Indian Army personnel, including a major, and as many militants were killed in two separate gun battles in Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday, officials said, in an upsurge of shootouts in the restive region in the past few months. According to Hindustan Times, major Kamlesh Pandey and sepoy Tanzin Chhultim were killed after militants fired upon the security forces during a gun battle in the Zaipora area of Shopian district on Thursday morning. The forces mounted a cordon and search operation in the area in south Kashmir late on Wednesday night following a tip-off that militants were present in the area.
“The trapped militants escaped after firing on the soldiers,” a senior district police officer told the Hindustan Times. The Shopian incident came on the heels of a gun battle in Gopalpora area of Kulgam district where forces gunned down two Hizbul Mujahideen militants in an overnight encounter following a search operation. “One of them was involved in the killing of five policemen and guards of a bank van,” a police spokesperson said. The spokesperson was referring to the incident in May when militants killed five policemen and two bank guards during an attack on a cash van in Pambay area of Kulgam. The van was returning after dispensing cash to local bank branches
when it was attacked. “The slain militants were identified as Aaqib Ahmad Itoo son of Abdul Hamid Itoo resident of Gopalpora and Suhail Ahmad Rather son of Mohammad Arif Rather resident of Tantraypora Yaripora. Both the militants were involved in unlawful and anti-national activities,” the police said in a statement. The statement also said Ahmad was involved in the May attack on the cash van of Jammu & Kashmir Bank. He also killed a policeman at Yaripora, robbed the Kader branch of J&K Bank, and snatched a weapon from a guard in Adijan area. Rather was involved in “instigating people and firing indiscriminately upon security personnel” during protests, it added.
100 bridges on the verge of collapse: Gadkari New Delhi, Aug 3 (Agencies): Over 100 bridges in different parts of the country are on the verge of collapse and need immediate attention, union transport minister Nitin Gadkari said in the Lok Sabha on Thursday. The startling information came to light after the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways completed a safety audit of 1.6 lakh bridges in the country and more than 100 structures were found to be in an unsound state. “These 100 bridges can collapse anytime and they need immediate attention,” Gadkari said during Question Hour in Lok Sabha. The union minister informed the Lok Sabha that the transport ministry had last year launched a special project to organise data regarding all bridges and culverts in the country as part of measures being taken to avert mishaps. Gadkari also recalled a tragic bridge collapse in Maharashtra’s Raigad district last year. 26 people lost their lives when two buses and some private vehicles were swept away when a British-era bridge over the Savitri river near Mahad collapsed on August 2, 2016. He said road projects worth Rs 3.85 lakh crore were delayed due to various reasons in the past and most of these issues were resolved and their works are in progress.
Don’t pose problems, provide solutions: President SC refuses to stay NOTA in Gujarat RS election
President Ram Nath Kovind addresses the 89 probationers of Indian Forest Service-2016 batch of Indira Gandhi National Forest Academy, at Rashtrapati Bhavan, in New Delh ion Thursday. (PTI) New Delhi, Aug 3 (PTI): President Ram Nath Kovind Thursday advised a group of forest service officers to not pose problems but provide solutions for meeting India’s develop-
ment requirements. He also asked them to be sensitive towards the basic food and fuelwood requirement of millions of poor people, including tribals living in and around
forests. “These are simple and hardworking people and look up to you for guidance and reassurance. Please treat them as your partners in management and not as
intruders,” Kovind said in his first official engagement after assuming office. Addressing the probationers of the Indian Forest Service 2016-18 course, he said India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and “we have set ourselves stiff targets”. “You have to strike a balance between conservation needs and development requirements. Your job is not to pose problems but to provide solutions,” the president said. Kovind said in the past few decades, the world has woken up to threats to the very survival of humankind due to environmental degradation, depletion in forest cover and above all, global warming leading to climate change. “That is why the environment has become a key

New Delhi, Aug 3 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to stay an Election Commission notification to introduce the “None of the Above” (NOTA) option for the coming Rajya Sabha election in Gujarat. A bench of Justice Dipak Misra, Justice Amitava Roy and Justice A.M. Khanwilkar refused to stay the notification. However, they issued a notice to the poll panel for September 13 to examine the constitutional validity of the notification. “Why did you (petitioner) move the court so late? When it suited you, you did not come. You come here on the eve of elections,” said the bench questioning the delay in filing the petition against NOTA. The court said the Election Commission issued

Kovind said India has emerged as a global leader in handling complex climate change issues. “Our national forest policy envisages 33 per cent of the land mass should be under forest cover. You have to find ways and means to enrich the natural forests, and facilitate bringing non-forest areas under tree cover,” the president said. He said forests are a potential carbon sink and they could help reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and counter the threat of global warming. “Our country has set a target to sequester an additional 2.5 to 3 billion tons of carbon in our forests by 2030,” Kovind said.

raditional festivals of various Naga tribes of Nagaland are being celebrated and this will continue the year through. Unlike many other race of people, Nagas have retained much of their cultural history amid the sea of changes taking place. With over eighty five percent of the population in Nagaland being Christians, Nagas continue to maintain links with their cultural past. The observance of traditional festivals provides an insight into the minds and the beliefs of the forefathers. Today, the celebrations are accepted as annual events and have come to stay though there are those who would be more inclined to use these as a plea of promoting cultural renaissance to attack “substitution with alien culture and religion”. Every community and race also celebrate their own festivals all over the globe. Vigorous dances and traditional folk songs with feasting are some of the highlights. Nagaland has scores of festivals celebrated by its sixteen tribes. Most of these festivals revolve round agriculture. In an agricultural society, the occasion for feasting was logically at the end of a harvest. More importantly these occasions for rejoicing obtained a seasonal regularity. Naga cultures of various tribes are basically simple yet rich in their meaning and continue to be well blended with Christianity. The result was that structure of ideas and beliefs made of taboos and superstitions including the evil practice of head hunting in the past , were done away with for good. When one looks at the situation today, it would be clear that the festivals are essentially celebrated to retain the cultural identities of the respective tribes but without the taboo and superstitions imposing themselves. Traditional festivals have their meaning in as far as the cultural identity of the people is concerned. Another very significant factor that went into the making of festivals along with seasonal regularity, was religious sanction. Religious sanction satisfied this need.Naga tribes, there has been rapid progress in education, modernity and change in lifestyles. The only point that could be raised is about the affects of modern lifestyle on the people. Perhaps other civilizations also experienced the same dilemma. The age of enlightenment can only but take them forward and effect a progressive culture where the good of the past can weld with the need of the present towards a bright future. Though there is nothing wrong with cultural renaissance, it should work to synergise the ethos of what is good for the future-a choice to progress and not to regress. Trends evident today indicate that the over saturation of a regressive politics riding on the back of oral traditions of the bygone days when life was simple and peaceful, are looked upon as solution for issues confronting contemporary society and thus, only serving to compound the condition. In the past, festivals arose out of some necessity of day-to-day life of past tribal societies which were later transformed into customs, due to which they obtained a changeless character. With the winds of change through modernity, festivals today have ceased to be the centre of the community and observed mostly as a reaffirmation of cultural identity. Today, agriculture is no longer the mainstay and neither are communities homogenous anymore. These changes were inescapable and necessary and this calls for a synthesis of concepts to propel society forward.
DailyDevotion The Compelling Purpose of God He…said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem…” —Luke 18:31 Jerusalem, in the life of our Lord, represents the place where He reached the culmination of His Father’s will. Jesus said, “I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me” (John 5:30). Seeking to do “the will of the Father” was the one dominating concern throughout our Lord’s life. And whatever He encountered along the way, whether joy or sorrow, success or failure, He was never deterred from that purpose. “…He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem…” (Luke 9:51). The greatest thing for us to remember is that we go up to Jerusalem to fulfill God’s purpose, not our own. In the natural life our ambitions are our own, but in the Christian life we have no goals of our own. We talk so much today about our decisions for Christ, our determination to be Christians, and our decisions for this and that, but in the New Testament the only aspect that is brought out is the compelling purpose of God. “You did not choose Me, but I chose you…” (John 15:16). We are not taken into a conscious agreement with God’s purpose— we are taken into God’s purpose with no awareness of it at all. We have no idea what God’s goal may be; as we continue, His purpose becomes even more and more vague. God’s aim appears to have missed the mark, because we are too nearsighted to see the target at which He is aiming. At the beginning of the Christian life, we have our own ideas as to what God’s purpose is. We say, “God means for me to go over there,” and, “God has called me to do this special work.” We do what we think is right, and yet the compelling purpose of God remains upon us. The work we do is of no account when compared with the compelling purpose of God. It is simply the scaffolding surrounding His work and His plan. “He took the twelve aside…” (Luke 18:31). God takes us aside all the time. We have not yet understood all there is to know of the compelling purpose of God.

came across a post on Facebook by Ms. Zhekheli Zhimomi,in which she masterfully dissected and debunked a premise by a certain Mr. Mathew Ngaito Asah, of Myanmar, that the Sumis were not Nagas, but actually Chins. It was fortunate that my elder sister Mrs. Katoli Shohe happened to have a copy of the original premise by Mr. Asah. I was amused by his whole theory and curiosity led me to send him an email at the address provided at the end of his article, despite my sister assuring me that the address was invalid, which it turned out to be. Leaving aside Mr. Asah’s wild theory, which seems to be nothing more than an attempt by a person raised among strangers to identify himself as one of those around him (for I have no reason to disbelieve his claim to be a Sumi), I began to dwell on the issue of what separates men from men. Whether you are a Creationist or an Evolutionist, you must admit that Mankind began from a single point of origin. Creationists believe that God created Adam, Eve and all of Humanity and that is the point of origin for them. Evolutionists believe that men evolved from monkeys; so there must have been a certain monkey which evolved into a humanoid and whose offspring subsequently evolved into the homo sapiens of today; and that is the point of origin for them. Since then, humanity has been classified into three races; the Negroid/Australoid, the Caucasian and the Mongoloid races(though the last mentioned hasfallen out of usage, to be replaced by Asians,
M
and in India, we are North-Easterners against Mainland Indians. So our degree of separation keeps on changing according to the context and circumstances we find ourselves in. It is for each and every person to choose his degree of separation from those around him. Do I overlook the sins and shortcomings of another just because he happens to be from my family, village, tribe, race, religion, state or country? Or do I have one standard by which I measure ALL of HUMANITY? I have one standard by which I judge all people, and that standard is, “HONESTY”. I do not expect people to be perfect, but I require every person I meet to be honest. An honest person does not try to conceal his dirty deeds behind a cloak of hypocrisy; an honest person admits his faults, mistakes and shortcomings; and admittance is the first step towards atonement, forgiveness and, ultimately, perfection. I do not care if a person is a Sumi or not, as long as he is an honest person, I do not care if Sumis are Nagas or not, as long as we are an honest people; and I do not care if a person is a Naga or Non-Naga as long as he is honest. I have said it before and I reiterate it, “I prefer an honest Non-Naga to a lying Naga.” Choose your degree of separation from others and stand by your yardstick. For your shifting degrees of separation reveals your cowardice in the face of others. God save our Nagaland.

e being the Nagas of Nagaland State, have been left in awestruck by the enduring effort of the NSCN (IM) in continually leaving at bay, the Nagas of Nagaland, whilst determining the entire political agenda of Nagaland without reminiscing to consult the people to compromise, on what is to be provided under their Framework Agreement with the govt. of India. Need we remind them that, although they have gotten through today as one of the prominent Naga Political Group who have managed to establish cordial dialogue with the center, but that they are also another subsequent group among the many others, who all stand firm in their own method of resolution for a better Naga solution: The facts itself cries out the Truth. Since it has been cleared that the political aspiration of Nagaland remains a race among the various political groups with one pioneer laying only the secession for the next, during the process which, some elites sought for the creation of Nagaland State without the total consent of the entire mass; the present social and emotional escalations cannot be merely doused as the present Nagas have been kindled with much geniality which may have even surpassed the profound schemes that the NSCN (IM) insists on Nagas of Nagaland to inherit. We have repeatedly appealed to them to consult with the people regarding the contents of the framework and to compromise on reasonable
ground, which they alleged as ‘Hijacking’, so that the fatiguing Naga political issue could be buried for once, and after which we could all aim for higher uplifting of the people. It is with utter disappointment the Nagas have been kept in the dark regarding their own political future. It also appears that the visits made by certain Civil Societies and Federations with our PM. Modi, to include all the stakeholders (which includes the people), seems to be fathomless for the Nagas of Nagaland. The Indian constitution itself regards to uphold and safeguard the democratic rights of the people, whereas the current reflection of the methods used between the Center and one Naga Political Group, seems to somehow be depriving the citizens of what is rightfully theirs. Therefore we urge your benevolent authority to kindly address the issue regarding the sentiments of the Nagas — that we are not against the Center nor the NSCN (IM); we only seek that we’d be also made known of what is to be implemented upon us, so that we would compromise on it; definitely, and conclude it under fair tides. If the Center fails to contemplate this simple natural sentiment of the Nagas of Nagaland, then it would also be awkward on our part to ignore the rest of the Naga Political Groups and the people, for which we may be compelled to seek for a higher platform to address our grievances.

“Clarification to Tokheho’s amnesiac recollections”
r To k h e h o Yepthomi’s elaboration of the sequence of events leading to the stepping down of Mr TR Zeliang in February this year is a storehouse of information which should be treasured for posterity. But first of all, it should be made very clear that suspended and expelled members of the NPF cannot and should not claim to be the NPF Legislature Party but consider themselves as unattached members of the august House. If they are so keen to cling to the NPF nomenclature they should realise the folly of their misadventures in the recent times that are harming the very political party they seem to love so much. As per Tokheho’s version, February 15, 2017 seems to be the turning point in the whole episode and the late night meeting that took place in the residence of the NPF President where the legislators raised their hands and appended their signatures in sup-

due to political correctness and its usage to describe children suffering from Down’s Syndrome) based on physical characteristics shaped by nature. All other forms of classifications and separations are solely man-made. Whether it is religion, tradition, culture, tribe or caste, our degrees of separation are man-made. The North-East of India has many people and tribes of Mongoloid stock. Whether we migrated from the South-East of Asia or the Tibetian Plateau, we all are Mongoloids. Apart from the Ahoms of Assam, who seemed to have come in a single wave, the rest of us came in successive waves. The length of interval between the waves of migration and the degree of isolation from others, have led to the development of our different languages, customs and tribes. The Sumis migrants from present day Pughoboto area developed a different dialect. People from Pughoboto can understand me, but I can’t understand them. To me, they sound as if they are speaking in Angami or Chakhesang. The Aos too, have two distinct dialects, Chungli and Mongsen (apart from slightly different village inflections). It is my belief that left alone and in isolation, the various Naga tribes would have further sub-divided into distinct and different Naga tribes. I have seen how we separate ourselves according to our village, clan, religious denominations and areas within our tribes. In the context of the State of Nagaland, we divide ourselves into our various Tribes; outside Nagaland, we are Nagas against Manipur, Assam etc.
An address to the Governor
port of Dr Shurhozelie Liezietsu to replace TR Zeliang. But the truth of the matter is that the whole thing started on February 12 Sunday afternoon when after a closed-door meeting between TR Zeliang, Dr Shurhozelie and KG Kenye, a meeting was held at the residence of the party President with the consent of TR Zeliang where Tokheho and Patton, among a few other elected members strongly proposed Dr Shurhozelie to take over. Accordingly, a signature campaign was launched where Tokheho’s signature figured prominently. Documents, after all, don’t lie. The meeting of February 15 night came about through the initiative of Tokheho who phoned up KG Kenye to urgently organize a meeting and bring the signature campaign to a logical conclusion. Therefore, it was not KG Kenye who organized the meeting but Tokheho and few others like Patton. Details of the whole episode are available and as and
when necessary, shall be made public. The following midnight meeting at the State Banquet Hall that same night had been left out in Mr Tokheho’s narrative. But eyewitnesses say every man jack of the legislators told Mr TR Zeliang to immediately step down and to let Dr Shurhozelie take over to salvage the dreary situation. The irony of it all, these eyewitnesses continue, after giving the dressing down to Mr TRZ at the Banquet Hall, quite a few of these legislators followed him up to his residence assuring him they were all still with him! And to show their unflinching solidarity with him, some even slept over at his residence! The following morning dawned bright and clear, and the Chief Minister TR Zeliang, accompanied by the Governor, left Kohima by chopper to catch a connecting flight to Delhi. Reports have it that TR Zeliang held closed-door meetings at
Arunachal Bhawan with few Central and one not-socentral leader on two consecutive nights, following which telephone calls were made and our honourable legislators made a bee-line to Kaziranga. Such was their haste to grab the more lucrative portfolios that three high-end luxury cars belonging to these legislators met with an accident: the first one hit the rear or a truck and the second car, failing to control its speed, rammed into the first and the third one smashed the rear of the second! Of course, Mr Tokheho is absolutely right when he said “as per the law of the land, elected MLAs of NPF party cannot be summoned ... to a private residence to pass any resolution to remove the Leader of the Legislature Party and Chief Minister from his position.” The elected MLAs should have been summoned to Kaziranga instead! To be very fair, it must be pointed out that not all the legislators went to
The appointment of parliamentary secretaries is unconstitutional
he recent Judgement & order of the Supreme Court of India declaring the appointment of Parliament Secretaries as ‘unconstitutional’ is a big blow to states in the country including Nagaland who have appointed legislators as parliament secretaries. The Supreme Court of India, New Delhi on 27th July, 2017 declared the Assam parliamentary secretaries (appointment, salaries, allowances and miscellaneous provisions) Act, 2004 as unconstitutional has affected the present government of Nagaland having 26 parliamentary secretaries and 9 advisors of cabinet status. The landmark judgement of the apex court upholding Article 164(IA) of the Constitution of India provides for limiting the number of ministers in the state cabinets. The total number of ministers including the chief minister, has to
be within 15 per cent of the total number of members of the legislative assembly of the state. Accordingly, the state of Nagaland can have only 12 ministers including chief minister and now huge expenditures incurred upon 26 parliamentary secretaries and 9 Advisors of cabinet status can be removed. Article 164(IA) was inserted in the Constitution on the recommendation of the National Commission for review of the Working of the Constitution headed by former Chief Justice of India, M.N. Venkatachliah on misuse and drainage of public money to put a ban on over-sized cabinet. Many states in the Indian Union have instituted the post of parliamentary secretary and often hold the rank of minister of state and has the same entitlements and is assigned to a government department. In the past various
High Courts have deemed the appointment of parliamentary secretaries unconstitutional and have ruled against such appointments. In 2009, in the case of Adv. Aires Rodrigues vs. the State of Goa and others, a Division Bench of the Bombay High Court discussed the impact of arbitrary State Union action relating to appointment of parliament secretaries in Goa. It held that appointing parliamentary secretaries of the rank and status of a cabinet minister is in violation to Article 164(IA) of the Constitution and set aside the appointment of two parliamentary secretaries in the state government. In 2005, in Citizen Rights Protection Forum vs Union of India and others, the Himachal Pradesh High Court quashed the appointment of chief parliamentary secretaries and parliament secretaries. It
held that ‘(parliamentary secretaries and parliament secretaries) are usurpers of public office since their appointments did not owe their origin to any constitutional or legal provision, they having been appointed by person(s) not vested with the power of appointment’. Similarly, there has been news reports few years back that the Punjab and Haryana to provide information on appointment of chief parliamentary secretaries in the states. The High Court has ordered the two states to submit details about the entitlements, facilities and powers given to the chief parliamentary secretaries. Meanwhile on July 5 last, the Punjab and Haryana High Court quashed the appointment of four chief parliamentary secretaries in the government of Haryana.

And taking the advice of Mr Tokheho to “... look back at the events that had occurred in the past before becoming the Judge, the Jury and the Executioner” the NPF would like to place before people’s court concrete evidence about the actual relation of Tokheho with the NPF party: He got elected on a Congress ticket in 2003, and when seven of them were tasked by the Congress party to study ways and means to topple the DAN I, he promptly merged the group with the NPF and was awarded with a Cabinet berth. In the later part of DAN I, he sided with the dissident group and presented the Naga people with President’s rule on January 3, 2008, went back with his tail behind his legs to the Congress party and got himself elected on Congress Tickets in 2008 as well as in 2013. And find-
ing that remaining loyal to the Congress party for one full term was unbearable, and developing cold turkey being out of power for so long, when an opportunity came his way in 2015, he lost no time to forsake the Congress party and merged his legislators with the NPF! Indeed, it is a matter of great academic interest that at present we have different categories of NPF MLAs: NPF MLAs through merger who have never been issued with an NPF Ticket; NPF MLAs who develop cold turkey when out of power for even a few months; Independent MLAs who act more loyal than NPF MLAs because they need NPF ticket to win in the next election; NPF MLAs who have a separate set of toiletries packed and ready to be stacked into their vehicle to rush off anytime to Kaziranga at the snap of the fingers!

Complete two lane of NH-2 at the allotted time
Sir,
As we all longed for development and it could be achieved only where there is a proper road connectivity. At last travel burden by road at NH-2 would be at ease as the development for two lane from Kohima to Henbenju been completed and from Henbenju to Longsa gate Wokha has been approved and sanction accorded by ministry of surface transport and highway (National Highway Authority of India). It was possible because of the enormous task undertakne by the government of Nagaland department of Road and Bridges National Highway Branch, as well as district administration Kohima. The two lane works have already started but it has been kept pending by the contractor due to nonpayment of land owners affected for plantation, mixed plantation and forested areas. Its my humble request to the department of Road and Bridges National Highway Branch executive engineer as well as deputy commissioner Kohima, Nagaland, that the affected land owners should be compensated at the earliest and the two lane of NH-2 starting from Henbenju till Longsa gate is completed at the allotted time by the contractor, as the contractor with his machineries are lying idle for the past few weeks.

lectual tradition.” Singh said that a highlevel of employment and business opportunities can open up for the trained man-power in these fields if the latent potential of Indian linguistic diversity is tapped by linguistics and computational Sciences. Singh also emphasised the “crucial importance” of research drawing upon the vast linguistic diversity for making fresh break through in the fields of knowledge and nurturing innovations in sciences and technology. “This can be achieved through productive intellectual collaborations as the People’s Linguistic Survey has done,” he said. “In the absence of such close collaborative and interdisciplinary research in Indian universities, institutes of technology and medical sciences centres, other global players will turn their attention to exploring, documenting and processing the diver-
sity of indigenous and nonscheduled languages in India,” he noted. It may be most timely and appropriate to the global and the national situation to encourage innovative research practices and to work the new trends in languages based science and technology to India’s economic advantage, the ex- prime minister said. The PLSI is being published in various state languages, Hindi and English in a series of 50 volumes, in 92 titles. The publication of the series began in 2013. The PLSI is published by Orient Blackswan. As of August 2017, 37 titles have been published covering Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, West Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh among others. The volumes for Goa and Sikkim will be released by the end of 2017. All of the 92 titles of the PLSI will be available in print form and as e-books by December 2020. At the event, Dr Devy also announced the next big project “Global Languages Survey” under which over 6,000 languages being spoken in the world will be surveyed and documented about.
New Delhi, Aug 3 (PTI): A lunar eclipse will occur on the night of August 7, continuing until early the next morning, and will be visible in India and all over Asia, Europe, and Africa, Nehru Planetarium officials said here Thursday. However, parts of Africa and Asia, including India, will miss the total solar eclipse that is expected to occur on August 21. N Rathnashree, director of the Nehru Planetarium, Delhi said the penumbral part of the lunar eclipse, which is difficult to discern, will start at 9:20 pm on Monday night, while the partial phase will start at 10:52 pm. The partial eclipse ends at 12:48 am while the penumbral eclipse ends at 2:20 am on August 8. A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon align in an almost straight line. In this scenario, the Earth blocks some of the Sun’s light from directly reaching the Moon’s surface and covers all or part of the Moon with the outer part of its shadow, also known as the penumbra. “The interesting thing about lunar eclipse timings is that anywhere on Earth from where the Moon is visible during eclipse, the time will be the same. This is in contrast to a solar eclipse in which the timings of the contacts change as the location changes on Earth,” Rathnashree said.

New Delhi, Aug 3 (IANS): External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said on Thursday that India will continue to engage with China through diplomatic channels to find “mutually acceptable solutions” to the Doklam stand off and also continue consultations and coordination with Bhutan. Replying to a debate on India’s foreign policy in the Rajya Sabha, Sushma Swaraj - commenting specifically on the stand off in Sikkim sector - said the border with China in the area was not finalised, and added that the document released by China on Wednesday “selectively” quoted former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru on issues related to the IndiaChina border. “A full and accurate

NEW DELHI, Aug 3 (Agencies): Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called former President Pranab Mukherjee a “father figure” before, but on Mukherjee’s last day as President, he sent him a letter that expressed his profound admiration for him much beyond that. The PM told Mukherjee he was more than moved that the two of them “were able to work together with synergy” despite different political ideologies having shaped them. He talked of Mukherjee’s “intellectual prowess” and his deep “insights on various subjects” helping the government and him personally. And he delivered to Mukherjee the highest compliment possible for a politician, when he said

He talked of Mukherjee’s “wisdom, guidance and personal warmth” being a beacon of light that inspired confidence and strength. Those traits, combined with the former President’s “strength of intellect”, thanks to his being a “repository of knowledge” in a wide range of subjects, led Mukherjee to the quality the PM most admired him for, it appears. That quality? Mukherjee’s spirit of bipartisanship, which helped him lend gravitas to the non-political but crucial constitutional responsibilities of being President of the country.

NEW DELHI,AUG 3 (AGENCIES): Mahatma Gandhi wanted Congress dissolved after Independence and Rahul Gandhi is doing a fine job of realising that, said BJP president Amit Shah in Rohtak on Wednesday. Addressing a gathering, Shah said, “Gandhi ji ne kaha tha azadi ke turant baad Congress ko bikhar jana dena chahiye... khair wo Gandhi ne nhi kiya ab koi Gandhi kar rha hai” (Mahatma Gandhi had said that Congress should be disbanded after Independence. While that Gandhi couldn’t do it, some other Gandhi is doing it now). Extolling the BJP, Shah said with BJP coming to power the country has moved towards development.

New Delhi, Aug 3 (PTI): Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Thursday expressed disappointment over Indians lagging behind in linguistic research despite the language diversity in the country. He underlined that employment and business opportunities can open up if latent potential of India’s linguistic diversity is tapped by linguistics and computational sciences. He made the remarks during the release event of 11 volumes of the People’s Linguistic survey of India (PLSI). The PLSI is a comprehensive survey of all living languages of India carried out by a large team comprising volunteers, field activists and experts under G N Devy, the chairman and chief editor of the mammoth study. “Despite this amazing language diversity, Indians seem to have lagged behind in linguistic research and scholars know all about Saussure and Chomsky, but they are not able to use the theories of Panini and Bhartrihari, Anandvardhan and Abhinavagupt with equal ease,” Singh said. “In the process,” he said, “We have continued to imbibe and mime the colonial knowledge of languages and linguistics despite having such enormous wealth of theoretical resource in our own intel-

K.G Kenye, in his address, congratulated Dr. Liezietsu and also lauded all the party workers for their excellent job done. Kenye said frequent change of leadership led to instability of government and recalled how Dr. Liezietsu was made the chief minister and restored peace and how the party was salvaged. Expressing regret that the dissidents group were very cruel to Dr. Liezietsu, Kenye said after all the struggle they deserted him, adding “we are ashamed of their behaviour”. In his address, Yitachu, MLA, said that NPF always stood and provided platform to show Naga identity to outside the world. He also said that NPF stood for truth and would keep the identity and image of the Nagas in the days to come.

The NPF has also taken up the case of his dismissal by the Governor to the Supreme Court. On the Governor’s controversial role in dismissing him, Dr. Liezietsü said it was plan involving previous party leaders in the dissident group who made secret pact with the “saffron party”. He claimed that after forming the government, the present set up planned to hijack the party and merge it with the BJP like in Arunachal Pradesh. On the alliance with NDA since 1997, he said NPF was senior to BJP since the latter came to existence only in 1982. He

Russia blasts US sanctions as ‘economic war’ Trump blames Congress for ‘alltime’ low US-Russia relations

and his reluctance was on full display in an angry signing statement in which he called the legislation “significantly flawed.” “In its haste to pass this legislation, the Congress included a number of clearly unconstitutional provisions,” he said, including curbs on the president’s ability to “negotiate” with Russia. “I built a truly great company worth many billions of dollars. That is a big part of the reason I was elected. As president, I can make far better deals with foreign countries than Congress,” Trump claimed. The legislation - which also includes measures against North Korea and Iran - targets the Russian energy sector, giving Washington the ability to impose
sanctions on companies involved in developing Russian pipelines, and placing curbs on some Russian weapons exporters. Iran, too, reacted angrily, saying the new sanctions against it “violated” its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, and warned it would respond “appropriately.” With regards to Russia, the sanctions notably constrains Trump’s ability to waive the penalties - a statement of mistrust from the Republican-controlled Congress, which remains unsettled by Trump’s warm words for President Vladimir Putin. The sanctions seek to penalise the Kremlin for allegedly meddling in the 2016 US presidential election and for Russia’s annexation of Crimea.

“The enemy’s hostility has made us more resistant,” he said. New US sanctions have emboldened Rouhani’s hardline opponents, who say he should never have trusted the United States. “It’s unfortunate timing,” said Ellie Geranmayeh, an Iran analyst with the European Council on Foreign Relations. “What will be absolutely critical is how the Europeans position themselves,” she said, pointing to the burgeoning trade
ties with Europe and their continued backing of the nuclear deal. Britain, France and Germany -- who signed the deal along with Russia, China and the United States -- remain firm backers of the agreement and have criticised the Trump administration for threatening to scrap it. French energy giant Total defied US pressure in July by signing a multi-billion-dollar gas deal with Iran.

Shinzo Abe
TOKYO, AUG 3 (AGENCIES): Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Thursday dumped archconser vatives and embraced critical voices in a cabinet revamp he hopes will stem a decline in public support after a series of scandals and missteps, reports AFP. Political blueblood Abe, in office since late December 2012, has pushed a nationalist agenda alongside a massive policy effort to end years of on-off deflation and rejuvenate the world’s third-largest economy. But he has seen public support rates plummet in the past few months over an array of political trou-
emony with his ministers at the Imperial Palace, said he carried out the cabinet changes to restore public confidence in his government. “We will listen to the voices of the people and pursue politics together with them,” Abe said. He reappointed former defence minister Itsunori Onodera after close ally and fellow nationalist Tomomi Inada resigned from the post last week following a scandal at the ministry over the handling of military documents. He also tapped a pair of lawmakers who have opposed some of his policies. New foreign minister Taro Kono is the son of a dovish top diplomat known for issuing a landmark 1993 apology as chief cabinet secretary over Japan’s use of “comfort women” -- a euphemism for sex slavery -- in World War II. The US-educated 54year-old Kono is known as an independent-minded, anti-nuclear power advocate, in sharp contrast to Abe’s support for atomic energy.

Rouhani vowed to continue his efforts to end the country’s isolation as he was sworn in by supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei following his re-election in May. But the ceremony came less than 24 hours after US President Donald Trump confirmed fresh sanctions against Iran. Tehran says the new

LAHORE, AUG 3 (PTI): Pakistan’s newly-elected Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi is likely to continue as premier for the remaining 10-month tenure of PML-N as the party chief Nawaz Sharif has hinted retaining his younger brother Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif in the key province. Former prime minister Sharif who was disqualified by Supreme Court in the Panama Papers case on July 28 had nominated Shahbaz to succeed him after winning a by-election on his vacant seat in Lahore. Abbasi was endorsed by Sharif to hold the post for interim arrangement of 45 days (till mid-September) till Shahbaz makes to Islamabad. “Sharif is holding a high-level huddle of PML-N senior leaders today in Murree to review his earlier decision to elevate Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif to the Centre or not,” a PML-N senior leader told PTI. After Abbasi was elected prime minister last Tuesday, he said many in the Nawaz camp suggested that the former retain the position for the remaining term of the PML-N government as Punjab is very important for the party and cannot be left to an “inexperienced hand”. The Shahbaz government’s spokesperson Malik Ahmad Khan told PTI that the party leadership is sitting together to revisit its earlier decision of endorsing Shahbaz for prime minister.
President Donald Trump today blamed Congress for “an all-time” and “very dangerous” low in US’ relations with Russia, a day after he reluctantly signed into law a bill imposing tough sanctions against Moscow under mounting domestic pressure. Trump signed into law a legislation that imposes tough sanctions against Russia, Iran and North Korea and limits his ability to lift the curbs unilaterally. The signing of the bill put to rest questions about whether Trump would support the legislation passed overwhelmingly by Congress last week. “Our relationship with Russia is at an all-time & very dangerous low. You can thank Congress, the same people that can’t even give us HCare!” Trump wrote on twitter. The “Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act,” which enacts new sanctions on Iran, North Korea and Russia was passed by both the chambers of the Congress – House of Representatives and the Senate – by an overwhelming majority. In his signing statement, Trump had expressed his disagreement with certain provisions of the bill even though he said he supported new sanctions on Russia. “The bill remains seriously flawed – particularly because it encroaches on the executive branch’s authority to negotiate. Congress could not even negotiate a healthcare bill after seven years of talking,” Trump said. “By limiting the Executive’s flexibility, this bill makes it harder for the United States to strike good deals for the American people, and will drive China, Russia and North Korea much closer together. The framers of our Constitution put foreign affairs in the hands of the President. This bill will prove the wisdom of that choice,” he said. White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters that the President favours tough measures to punish and deter the rogue regimes in Iran and North Korea for the bad behaviour.

MOSCOW/WASHINGTON, AUG 3 (AFP/PTI): Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev lashed new US sanctions as a “fullfledged economic war” on Moscow, saying they crushed hopes for repairing ties and demonstrated President Donald Tr ump’s “total weakness ...in the most humiliating way.” Tr ump reluctantly signed off on the new sanctions Wednesday, bowing to domestic pressure after the White House failed to scupper the bill or water it down. Medvedev warned the move would have “consequences”, saying “it ends hopes for improving our relations with the new US administration.” “Second, it is a declaration of a full-fledged economic war on Russia,” Medvedev said on his Facebook page. Taunting the notoriously thin-skinned US president, Medvedev added: “The Trump administration has shown its total weakness by handing over executive power to Congress in the most humiliating way”.

Dilip Kumar in ICU, Original Steppenwolf Keyboardist, Malaika Arora has a perfect reply Goldy McJohn, Dies at 72 A condition no better G since admission V oldy McJohn, founding member of Steppenwolf and keyboardist who powered some of the band’s best songs, has died at age 72. The news was confirmed on his Facebook page, which reports that “Goldy suffered a sudden and fatal heart attack the morning of August 1st, 2017.” McJohn helped form Steppenwolf in late 1967 in Toronto along with singer John Kay and drummer Jerry Edmonton after they split from Jack London & the Sparrows, which also included Bruce Palmer, who later joined Buffalo Springfield. Earlier McJohn was a member of the Mynah Birds with Palmer and future R&B star Rick James. Neil Young (who also
s Malaika Arora shared her latest photoshoot picture on her Instagram account, there was someone who used the post to slam her for divorcing a “rich man”. Malaika Arora and Arbaaz Khan ended
their 18-year-old marriage in May this year. In this digital era, the easiest targets of trolls are celebrities. And the recent one to join the bandwagon is Malaika Arora. Like always, it is her personal choices which have made her the centre of attraction for the very ‘intellectual’ netizens. But, what makes Malaika stand out from her contemporaries is her on the face attitude and refusal to maintain silence. It so happened that the Chaiyya Chaiyya girl Malaika shared her latest photoshoot picture which she did for a jewellery brand on her Instag ram account. While many showered t h i s ‘ y u m my mummy’ of Bollywood with love and praises, there was someone who used
the post to slam her for divorcing a “rich man”. In his comment on the photo, the troller claimed that women like Malaika marry a rich guy and then divorce him for huge alimony. It didn’t end there. Another comment by the same person mentioned how she has been feeding herself off Arbaaz’s money and is doing nothing but wearing small clothes and enjoying vacations. Flustered with the comment, Malaika gave a befitting reply to the hater as she wrote, “I do not indulge in such conversation because it’s below my dignity, but I just had to because you certainly got to get your damn facts right before spewing shit and slagging me off when you know nothing about me except sit and pass judgement on other people’s life. I seriously suggest you find something to do with your time because you clearly have nothing better to do in life.”
eteran actor Dilip Kumar, who was admitted to Mumbai’s Lilavati hospital late Wednesday, is in ICU now. According to the hospital sources, his condition is no better since his admission due to the kidney issues; creatinine level is rising in his blood. The superstar, who has been suffering from age-related problems in recent years, was accompanied by his wife Saira Banu yesterday. In April last year, he was hospitalised due to fever and nausea. Known as the ‘Tragedy King’, Kumar has acted in over 65 films in his career and is known for his iconic roles in movies like ‘Dev-
das ‘(1955), ‘Naya Daur’ (1957), ‘Mughal-e-Azam’ (1960), ‘Ganga Jamuna’ (1961), ‘Kranti’ (1981), and ‘Karma’ (1986). Last seen on the big screen in ‘Qila’ in 1998, the actor was honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1994 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2015.

Björk has posted news of its follow-up on her official Facebook page. “I am excited to share with you that my new album is coming out very soon,” read a handwritten message. “Warmthness, Björk.” At present, there is no confirmed release date for the album, however it can be pre-ordered from her official online shop. Further details such as title, cover art and track-listing are yet to be revealed. Asked about the sound of the new album, he replied: “I think it’s a bit too early for me to say at the moment, but, you know, Björk’s already written quite a bit of it.

N e w Y or k , A u g 3 ( Ag en c i e s ) : S t a n Wawrinka is struggling to be fit in time to defend his US Open title later this month. The world No 4 has not walked on court since losing in the first round at Wimbledon in early July when he was beaten by Daniil Medvedev. Wawrinka has been suffering from a knee injury and has had to withdraw from the hard court tournaments in Montreal and Cincinnati, ahead of Flushing Meadows. And the Swiss star took to Facebook to say, “After much backwards and forwards and consultations with my doctors and my team, unfortunately I have decided to skip Canada and Cincinnati to be on the safe side even though I’ve been battling hard to make these events.” The US Open, which is the final Grand Slam event of the season, starts in New York on August 28. Novak Djokovic has already called time on the remainder of his season because of an elbow injury.

planned.” At the heart of the dispute has been the divisive issue of revenue-sharing, a model that was largely retained under the new deal. The bad-tempered stand-off has been rumbling for months, rattling the game and badly straining the players’ relationship with the governing body. It left 230 cricketers unemployed since the end of June when their contracts expired, putting the Test tour to Bangladesh this month under serious threat. But Steve Smith will now lead his team to Dhaka on August 18, with a one-day tour to India in September and October and the showpiece home Ashes series against England, beginning in November, also now safe.

However, Liverpool levelled seven minutes from time through Firmino’s spot-kick after Origi was adjudged to have been tripped up by Gabi inside the penalty area. The late equaliser meant the match would be settled with a shootout, and Atletico emerged 5-4 victors when Filipe Luis netted the match-winning penalty. Liverpool will head back to their RottachEgern base before concluding their preseason schedule on Saturday against Athletic Bilbao in Dublin.

MELBOURNE, Aug 3 (Agencies): Australia’s bruising and protracted cricket pay dispute was finally resolved on Thursday with players and management agreeing on a new “in-principle” deal, ensuring upcoming series against Bangladesh, India and England can go ahead. “Today’s agreement is the result of sensible compromises by both parties,” said Cricket Australia chief James Sutherland, adding that the “core issues” had been worked out. He added that it would “restore much certainty to the game of cricket”. “It will allow all players - state and international players - to be contracted immediately and it will also allow the all-important tour of Bangladesh to proceed as

Pujara, Rahane slam tons; India reach 344/3 on Day 1
India’s Ajinkya Rahane, left, and Cheteshwar Pujara run between the wickets. (AP/PTI)
C o l o m b o, Au g 3 (Agencies): India’s batsmen picked up from where they had left in Galle and piled the misery on Sri Lanka’s bowlers as they scored 344/3 on day 1 of the second Test at the Sinhalese Sports Club ground with the duo of Cheteshwar Pujara (128) and Ajinkya Rahane (103) slamming unbeaten centuries. Virat Kohli called it right at the toss and chose to bat first on a dead and placid track without much
hesitation. KL Rahul was back in the playing XI in place of Abhinav Mukund and he came out to bat with first Test centurion Shikhar Dhawan. Dhawan’s habit of poking at deliveries outside the off stump with his bat face open led to two half chances in the first two overs bowled by Nuwan Pradeep and Rangana Herath respectively. But the ball dropped just short of the slip fielder on both occasions. Dhawan and Rahul got going quickly
by getting a flurry of boundaries under their belt. The first real chance of the game came off the bowling of Dimuth Karunaratne as he struck KL Rahul on the pads in front of the wicket. The umpire gave it out but the Indian opener went for the DRS given that the ball had hit him above the knee roll of his pads. The replays showed that the ball would have missed the stumps and Rahul survived. Sri Lanka didn’t have to wait for their first wicket for

Barca terminate Neymar’s contract; accept €222m fee
Neymar
Mad r i d , A u g 3 (Agencies): Barcelona have officially released Neymar after accepting a world-record payment of €222 million that activates the Brazil international’s buyout clause. Neymar has been the subject of intense speculation all summer and Barcelona earlier confirmed on Wednesday that the 25-yearold had informed them of his intention to leave. Doubts about the move had been raised when La Liga refused to accept the €222m payment from PSG to trigger the clause, before Barcelona announced they had accepted. “On Thursday afternoon, Neymar Jr’s legal representatives visited in person the club’s offices and made the payment of €222m in the player’s name with regards to the unilateral termination of the contract that united both parties. “As such, the Club will pass on to UEFA the details of the above operation so that they can determine the disciplinary responsibilities
that may arise from this case.” Once PSG confirms Neymar’s signing, he will become the most expensive transfer ever -- more than doubling Manchester United’s €105m capture of Paul Pogba from Juventus last year. Neymar helped Barca to win one Champions League, two La Liga titles and three Copas del Rey as well as one FIFA Club World Cup and one Spanish Super Cup during his fouryear stint in Catalonia, and he scored 105 goals across all competitions. A source has told ESPN FC that Neymar will be paid around €30m per year after taxes and has been handed a major signing bonus in excess of his net annual sum. On top of those future earnings and significant bonuses, the source added that Neymar will also profit from a number of club owners Oryx Qatar Sports Investments’ other commercial ventures in Paris and outside of the footballing world.

He also won the gold medal in 1996 Atlanta Olympics in the superheavyweight category.

Sri Lanka went for the DRS and Dhawan was adjudged out LBW for 35. That brought Cheteshwar Pujara to the middle and he along with KL Rahul took India to lunch at 101/1. KL Rahul brought up his half century immediately after lunch. The opener though was run out for 57 after a horrendous mix-up with Pujara, India were now two wickets down for 109. Indian captain Virat Kohli came out to bat and immediately got going with a couple of impressive boundaries. But Kohli’s desire to get quick runs got the better off him as he was caught at slip for 13. India were now 133/3 and Sri Lanka sensed they had a chance to put the visitors under pressure. Cheteshwar Pujara slammed his 13th Test century, Rahane scored his ninth Test ton as India went into cruise control. Brief scores: India 344/3 (Pujara 128*, Rahane 103*) against Sri Lanka at stumps on Day 1

Harikrishna finishes third at Biel Chess Festival
Biel, Aug 3 (IANS): Indian Grand Master Pentala Harikrishna unbeaten run came to an end as he lost out to Frenchman Etienne Bacrot in the penultimate round of the 50th Biel Chess Festival and finished third in the standings. The World No. 20 Indian, playing with white pieces on Wednesday, started off aggressively but a simple mistake in the initial phases cost him the game eventually. Harikrishna tried all the tricks up his sleeve but couldn’t save the game as the Frenchman kept mounting pressure and the Indian ultimately had to give in on the 29th move. “It was a simple error in the starting of the game which was the cause of my loss,” Harikrishna said after the match. “It is a bit disappointing as this happened in the very last round of the tournament,” he added. The 31-year-old from Guntur had remained unbeaten throughout eight rounds by registering three wins and five draws, and just one loss in the last round prevented him from the top spot as the tournament culminated. Harikrishna will now shift his focus to the World Cup which is slated to be held in Georgia from September 2.

Jhajharia, Sardar Singh recommended for Khel Ratna
New Delhi, Aug 3 (PTI): Devendra Jhajharia Thursday became the first paralympian to be recommended for India’s highest sporting honour - the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna - along with celebrated former hockey captain Sardar Singh. Javelin thrower Jhajharia, the first Indian to win two Paralympic gold medals, was the first choice of the awards selection committee headed by Justice (Retd) C K Thakkar. The committee has picked 31-year-old midfielder Sardar as its second nominee for the top honour and has suggested that both Jhajharia and Sardar be considered for the award jointly. The 36-year-old Jhajharia’s two gold medals came in the 2004 Athens Games and last year’s Rio Paralympics and he set new world records on both the occasions. He also won a gold medal at the 2013 World Championships. Sardar, on the other hand, has been a constant in India’s fast-improving standing in international hockey. The 31-year-old, regarded as one of the ace midfielders in the world, became the youngest player to captain the Indian hockey team when he led the side at the 2008 Sultan

Azlan Shah Cup. A recipient of the Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian award of India in 2015, Sardar has two Asian Games medals - gold in 2014 Incheon and bronze in 2010 Guangzhou. He also has two Commonwealth Games silver medals and was named in the International Hockey Federation’s All-Star team twice in 2010, 2011. “My hard work for the last 15-20 years has paid off. It is the biggest of all sporting honours and the credit for that goes to my teammates because without them I couldn’t have achieved what I have,” Sardar said. Sardar’s name became a topic of debate during the meeting today due to the sexual harassment allegation levelled against him by a Indian-origin British hockey player. However, his sporting achievements were hard to ignore for the
committee. Whether both Sardar and Jhajharia get the award or either of the two is picked, would be decided by the Sports Ministry in the next few days. Besides, the awards selection committee has recommended 17 names for the Arjuna award. The Arjuna Awards recommendations: V J Surekha (Archery), Khushbir Kaur (Athletics), Arokin Rajiv (Athletics), Prasanthi Singh (Basketball), L Devendro Singh (Boxing), Cheteshwar Pujara (Cricket), Harmanpreet Kaur (Cricket), Oinam Bembem Devi (Football), SSP Chawrasia (Golf), S V Sunil (Hockey), Jasvir Singh (Kabaddi), P N Prakash (Shooting), A Amalraj (Table Tennis), Saketh Myneni (Tennis), Satyawart Kadian (Wrestling), Mariyappan Thangavelu (Para-Athlete) and Varun Bhati (ParaAthlete).
Demand for policy to promote women sportspersons New Delhi, Aug 3 (PTI): A demand was raised in the Rajya Sabha Thursday that the sports ministry should formulate a special policy to promote women sportspersons in the country as they are performing well and could win many Olympic medals. Raising the issue during Zero Hour, Congress member Rajeev Shukla said Indian women are performing very well in sports and referred to the recent performance of the women cricket team which made it to World Cup finals. He added that women
players like Sania Mirza (tennis), Saina Nehwal and P V Sindhu (badminton), Mithali Raj and Harmanpreet Kaur (cricket), Phogat sisters (wrestling) and Mary Kom (boxing) have given excellent performances in sports. While male sportspersons could not bring the laurels, women should be now given opportunity, said the former vice president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). “I am sure they will succeed,” the Congress member said.
Dangal movie, made on Indian women wrestlers, was a hit on the box office, Shukla said. “More and more efforts should be made to promote women in sports. I think they can bring all Olympic medals,” he said. In his Zero Hour reference, Naresh Agrawal (SP) highlighted the problems the poor patients have when they have medicines which are not generic. He said there was a huge difference in prices of generic and non-generic medicines. The SP member said
there are hospitals in the country which charge a minimum of Rs 1 lakh if one goes there for treatment. Minister of State for Parliamentar y Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said the government’s effort was to ensure availability of cheap medicines and in this regard, ‘Jan Aushadhi’ stores were being opened in differnt parts of the country. Deputy Chairman P J Kurien asked Naqvi to bring the issue raised by Agrawal to the notice of the Health Minister.
Bournemouth’s £20m Gray bid rejected London, Aug 3 (Agencies): Bournemouth have had an offer in the region of £20m for Demarai Gray rejected by Leicester City, according to Sky sources. Gray made 41 appearances in all competitions for Leicester last season, but only nine league starts and he is understood to be angling for more game time. Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare, speaking after the recent 2-1 friendly de-
feat at Burton, said Gray would get his chance this season. “Dimi’s representatives came in to have a meeting with the director of football (Jon Rudkin), I wasn’t privy to that,” Shakespeare said. “We’ve had conversations, myself and Dimi. It is well-documented. We have spoken about trying to give him more game-time and we are both happy with that.”

HS Prannoy
A U C K L A N D, A u g 3 (PTI): HS Prannoy on Thursday advanced to the quarterfinals of the New Zealand Open with a straight-game win over Hong Kong’s Wei Nan in the men’s singles competition of the Grand Prix Gold event here. Fourth seed Prannoy, who had clinched the US Open last month, defeated 10th seed Wei Nan 21-18 2119 in a 46-minute match, to set up a clash with 11th seed Lin Yu Hsien of Chinese Taipei. Former National champion and seventh seed Sourabh Verma also reached the
quarters after emerging victorious in an all-Indian prequarterfinal battle against Parupalli Kashyap. The 24-year-old from Dhar prevailed over Kashyap 21-18 13-21 21-16 in a close match that last an hour and four minutes at the North Shore Events Centre here. He will next take on either Israel’s Misha Zilberman or Hong Kong’s Lee Cheuk Yiu. Prannoy had lost to Wei at the Malaysia Open in 2014 but he avenged his loss today after dishing out a gritty performance. The World No. 17 Indian was leading 9-5 in the
opening game but Wei managed to claw back at 10-10 and then earned a slender edge at the break when Prannoy hit long. Wei moved to 13-10 before Prannoy reeled off five straight points to turn the tables. The Indian eventually moved to game point when Hong Kong shuttler sent his return to net. Prannoy then won a net duel to earn the bragging rights. In the second game, Wei had a 10-6 advantage but Prannoy erased the deficit and levelled the score at 11-11 when Wei hit wide. What ensued next was a close battle as neither gave an inch and moved neckand-neck till 16-16. The Indian then dominated a parallel game and closed it when Wei hit wide again. He then grabbed another point at the net to make it 18-16. Prannoy continued to move ahead and grabbed two match points with a superb return on his opponent’s backhand. The Indian fumbled at the net once but sealed the issue next with a quick net play.
