as he chose not to comment on an event when Congress president Rahul Gandhi refused to wear traditional headgear of one of the south Indian states. The party described as “really shameful” for someone who represented the country at the UN and an elected representative, to mock traditional customs of native tribal people.

the formation of an artificial lake. In a press release, Kikruma village disaster management committee chairman, Vezohu Tunyi, said the formation of the dam, which stretches about 1km, has intensively damaged several paddy fields and plantations through accumulation of water. Further, the committee said that partial burst of the dam in the following days due to continuous torrential rainfall had badly affected the downstream habitations, washing away paddy/terrace fields and plantations on the banks of Sedzu River. The committee said all the affected areas within their jurisdictions have been assessed, adding that rough estimate shows loss of a few crores of rupees. In this regard, the village disaster committee and Kikrüma village council have appealed to the responsible authority to compensate the poor farmers at the earliest. Meanwhile, they have expressed gratitude to the administration department and disaster management forces for their advice and support.

deputy chief minister and BJP legislature party Nagaland, Y Patton, has demanded apology from Shashi Tharoor “for insulting the people of Northeast particularly the Nagas.” Patton said it was quite unbecoming of a person of Tharoor’s stature to make such irresponsible remark that “irrevocably hurt the sentiments of the Nagas and the Northeast in general. Patton said Tharoor ought to have known that Naga traditional headgear depicts the patriotic valour and the rich cultural heritage of the Nagas forefathers. “No one has the right to ridicule or make fun of any traditional and cultural heritage of the country,”

Patton said. Patton demanded that Shashi Tharoor clarify whether the remark was in his own personal capacity or was the opinion of the Congress party as a whole and also demanded an unconditional apology from Tharoor to the people of the region in the public domain. NPF: Naga People’s Front (NPF) said Tharoor’s remark has deeply hurt the sentiments of the Nagas and demanded that he retract his comment as traditional Naga headgear has certain values and honour attached to it. NPF press bureau said the “ridiculous remarks” of Shashi Tharoor tantamount to discrediting the traditional values and practices of the Nagas. NPF said it objected to Tharoor dragging the ‘Naga Headgear ‘ into the crossfire between BJP and the Congress party and described it as an act “very unbecoming” of a leader. NPF said it respected the views of Tharoor on his stand about the prime minister’s reluctance to accept or wear the ‘Muslim Skullcap’ which had serious ramifications on the religious sentiments of the Muslims.

Six houses have also Portion of destroyed terrace field at been damaged, leaving Nerhema village. many families displaced, he said, adding two traditional wells have been washed away. Further, the village approach road was also totally cut off. Rulho said major landslides occurred at eight locations along National Highway-2 within Nerhema jurisdiction. Nerhema village authority has requested the state government to take stock of the situation and extend help to those affected in every possible way.

office memorandums of August 11, 2016 and August 4, 2008 was violation of law as in Uma Devi’s case in Supreme Court of India, the court directed that the State government should not regularise any person having completed three years in contract/ad hoc basis, the release added. Further, the judge cautioned that if any private respondent was appointed on contractual or temporary basis in violation of the office memorandum of June 6, 2016, the same would have to be deemed null and void. Referring to the court order, ACAUT and PSAN explained that as a one-time measure, the State government could only regularise services of those irregularly appointed on contract or ad hoc basis and who had

served more than 10 years as on April 10, 2016, the date Uma Devi judgement was passed by the Supreme Court. Thus, the office memorandums of August 11, 2016 and August 4, 2016 negated the laws laid down in Uma Devi and ML Kesari, and could not apply to the State government. And if the State government acted in violation of the rule laid down by the apex court, the same would be illegal and could be challenged and regularisation would be null and void, the organisations said quoting the order. The court had observed that it was a settled law that no person could be appointed even on temporary or ad hoc basis without inviting applications from all eligible candidates. (Cont’d on p-7)

NPCC disapproves Tharoor’s remark DIMAPUR, AUG 7 (NPN): Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) said it disapproved Dr Shashi Tharoor’s “fleeting reference” to Naga headgear during a seminar in Kerala. The party, however, castigated BJP for allegedly choosing to ignore the “bigger issue” raised by Tharoor against PM Narendra Modi. In a press note, media NPCC media cell said both the concern shown by BJP ministers and its central leaders, followed by Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio and some of his cabinet colleagues, and in trying to extract maximum political mileage were understandable. But equal concern should be shown to the plight of Nagas reeling under “miserable existence owing to 16 years of misrule perpetrated by the same set of leaders”, the party added. According to NPCC, the “hyper activism” of BJP and their “paid cohorts”

would not wash away the “sins” of the State government that was fully responsible for the current state of crumbling infrastructure and a myriad of socio-economic problems. NPCC said it expected the State government to deliver rather than indulge in “cherry picking at the behest of its communal masters in Delhi whose sinister agenda is slowly throttling the nation and its people”. MSK condemns: Malayali Samajam Kohima (MSK) also expressed shock and condemned the remarks by Congress Lok Sabha MP from Kerala, Shashi Tharoor. In a press note, MSK president KM Geevarghese said: “We feel pity for Tharoor’s lack of knowledge on rich Naga heritage culture and its costume,” MSK said while urging the MP to withdraw his remarks and tender unconditional apology to the Nagas.

Manipur police conducting search operation in Imphal on Tuesday as part of security measure ahead of Independence Day celebration. (NP) Correspondent

IMPHAL, Aug 7: Security has been stepped up across Manipur, particularly in valley districts well ahead of the Independence Day celebrations. In the cordon search operations conducted in

the last two days, police have arrested a militant and a member of armed gang along with arm and ammunitions, an official source said Tuesday. The militant identified as Nongjai Mayum Asik (35), a member of outlaw Kangleipak Communist

Party (KCP) was arrested by a team of police commandos attached with Imphal West district police during a cordon and search operation at Lamdeng Khunou under Lamphel police station. A small arm along with incriminating documents were recovered from the

ENNG warns people against attending NSCN (I-M) meet Itanagar, Aug 7 (Agencies): The Eastern Naga National Gover nment (ENNG) has warned the people of Tirap, Changlang and Longding districts of Arunachal Pradesh, including the people’s representatives, against attending the proposed meeting between the NSCN (I-M) and the Union Ministry of Home Affairs at Deomali in Tirap district on Thursday, saying the people of the three districts would otherwise have to face ‘dire consequences’. According to Northeast Now, ENNG, in a press statement, said the Arunachal Naga Students’ Federation (ANSF) invited the people’s representatives of the three districts, along

with civil society groups, NGOs, student leaders, ministers and MLAs of the region to attend the meeting, which the ENNG said compelled it to issue the ‘warning letter’. “Any individuals or representatives of their respective communities, welfare societies, NGOs, organization, student forums, ministers or MLAs whoever violate or defy this standing order, he/ she shall bear the responsibility, and the serious action will be taken without further warning,” the press statement from the ENNG said. The letter, further said the NSCN (I-M)’s integration demand has nothing to do with the people of Arunachal.

“That has nothing to do with the people of Arunachal Nagas. It is crystal clear from the government of India that they (NSCN I-M) had accepted the Constitution of India to remain under Article 371(A) and within Nagaland,” the Eastern Naga National Government said in its statement. “The Nagas living in Tirap, Changlang, and Longding districts are fed up with their antisocial activities and they are having a zero tolerance now,” the press statement added. M e a n w h i l e, t h e ANSF claimed in a press release that it has proposed the meeting on 9 August following a meeting with central government officials.

Restrains coordinator, RGI from speaking to media

New Delhi, Aug 7 (PTI): The Supreme Court Tuesday reprimanded Assam’s NRC coordinator and the Registrar General of India (RGI) for their statements on the NRC issue, saying it could have sent them to jail for contempt, and restrained them from speaking to media in future without its approval. A bench comprising justices Ranjan Gogoi and R F Nariman termed as “most unfortunate” the statements made by Assam National Register of Citizens (NRC) coordinator Prateek Hajela and RGI Sailesh to media on the issue of dealing with claims and objections of those who have been left out in the draft NRC. “Are you in any manner concerned with the claims and objections to be made... What have you said in newspapers and tell us how are you concerned with that,” a visibly angry Justice Gogoi told the officials and asked them to read the news reports in the court. “Don’t forget, you are the officers of the court. Your job is to comply with our directions. How can

you go to press like this,” the bench said adding that, it could have sent both of them to jail. Questioning the authority of the officials, the bench reprimanded them and restrained them from going to media in future on the NRC issue. The bench said that it had asked the Centre to formulate standard operating procedures to deal with the claims and objections of those who have been left out in the draft NRC and accused the officials of making statements on modalities which squarely fell in its domain. “We should be holding both of you guilty of contempt and sending both of you to jail. Whatever you say they all reflect on us,” the bench said. It said that it could have taken a “sterner view” of the matter but was letting them of keeping in mind the future task of preparation and publication of final NRC of Assam. “Your job is not to go to press holding the brief for somebody,” the bench said and fixed the matter on August 16.

The HYC reiterated its demanded from the state government to come with a law and incorporated in it the spirit of British-era ILP. “Checking of documents of people from outside at entry/exit points should not be relied only on electoral photo identify card (EPIC). Like in Assam, there are lakhs of people who have EPIC, but their names are not included in NRC,” HYC president, Rober tjune Kharjahrin said. He said that the law enforcing authorities should insist on other documents too, and those who enter Meghalaya should be given some kind of permit which explained everything including the days of stay and purpose of their visit. The HYC also suggested that transit pass which is valid for 48 hours should be issued to travellers who pass through Meghalaya to reach other states.

had consulted the RGI and talked to the media to dispel apprehensions regarding dealing of complaints. However, they tendered unconditional apology to the bench. The apex court had on July 31 said that there will be no coercive action by authorities against over 40 lakh people, whose names do not figure in Assam’s National Register of Citizens (NRC) and observed that it was merely a draft. The top court had asked the Centre to formulate modalities and the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) including timelines for deciding claims and objections arising out of the publication of the draft NRC. The NRC report said that out of 3.29 crore people, names of 2.89 crore have been included in the draft NRC. It further said that names of 40,70,707 people do not figure in the list. Of the these, 37,59,630 names have been rejected and the remaining 2,48,077 are on hold. Hajela had informed

the court that the claims and objections regarding inclusion and exclusion in the NRC could be filed from August 30 to September 28. He said till August 7, the draft NRC will be displayed or made available to them through seva kendras. The first draft of the NRC for Assam was published on December 31 according to the top court’s direction. Names of 1.9 crore people out of the 3.29 crore applicants were incorporated. Assam, which had faced influx of people from Bangladesh since the early 20th century, is the only state having an NRC, which was first prepared in 1951. The top court, which is monitoring the NRC work, had earlier said that the claims of those citizens, whose names do not figure in the draft NRC for Assam published by December 31 last year, would be scrutinised and included in the subsequent list, if found genuine.

CONDEMNATION

The Nokpu Village Council strongly condemns the unwarranted raid conducted by the Assam Rifles personnel at the residence of Er. Lanu Longchar E.E Irrigation and Flood Control Department on the night 21st July 2018; around 10:30 pm at Signal Angami Dimapur. Despite possessing well established intelligence wing with sophisticated state of the art technique by the Assam Rifles, the raid seems to have been carried out based on flimsy report through few vested interested persons with selfish motive unbecoming of the force that carries a reputation of its own that operates only on concrete evidence and reports. Er. Lanu Longchar is a bonafide citizen of our village and an able and devoted state Govt. servant and therefore, such unwarranted action of the reputed Assam Rifle personnel is totally uncalled for. Further, the Council shall not tolerate with those reporters with selfish vested interest against our citizen if found and caught with concrete proof of their action L.

Karunanidhi: A colossus in Dravidian politics Rahul slams Modi; says India unsafe

C h e nna i , A u g 7 (IANS): Muthuvel Karunanidhi was one of the last links to the Dravidian movement that ushered in the rise of backward classes in politics and the end of Congress rule in Tamil Nadu five decades ago on the plank of social justice. A five-time Chief Minister, the 94-year-old Karunanidhi, who strode the public life of Tamil Nadu like a colossus, also played a key role in national politics when he aligned with Indira Gandhi in 1971 and reaped rich rewards in elections. But he staunchly opposed the Emergency of 1975-77 during which his government was dismissed on corruption charges. He was banished to the opposition ranks till the death of his friend-turned-foe and iconic film hero M.G. Ramachandran or MGR in December 1987. Under Karunanidhi, the DMK occupied a prime position in the UPA governments at the Centre in 2004 and 2009 and earlier in the NDA government under Atal Bihari Vajpyee, an alignment that surprised many given the party’s Dravidian moorings. He was a wily politician who succeeded his

from the DK to float the DMK in 1949. The box office hit of Tamil movie ‘Parasakthi’ for which he wrote the script and a ‘rail roko’ agitation in Kallakudi near Tiruchirapalli made him known throughout the state.

a multifaceted personality -- journalist, playwright, script writer -- whose fiery dialogues as an iconoclast in films unleashed changes in Tamil Nadu’s social scene. He joined the Dravidian movement as a teenager under the tutelage of the late social reformer ‘Periyar’ E.V. Ramasamy and Anna. ‘Kalaignar’, as Karunanidhi was called for his proficiency in arts and literature, fashioned theatre and cinema in a way that gave a fillip to the Dravidian movement and the rise of DMK as a major pole in Tamil Nadu. Karunanidhi’s political fortunes rose when Anna broke away

Fo r m e r P r e s i d e n t Pranab Mukher jee said Karunanidhi will be deeply missed. “Sixty years a legislator, five times CM and a pillar of many coalitions at the Centre, he influenced his state’s and the national politics like few others.

up any candidate for this election and have expressed support for a consensus candidate from within the opposition camp. According to senior opposition leaders, they felt during the meeting that an NCP candidate from Maharashtra will be able to get the support of Shiv Sena, an NDA ally. Opposition parties are also in touch with BJD, which has not opened its cards yet. But it appears that the ruling party in Odisha is in no mood to be seen siding with any camp. “Because of assembly elections in Odisha next year, BJD may abstain or be absent during voting,” the senior opposition leader said. The Opposition camp believes the NCP would try to convince another NDA ally - the Shiromani Akali Dal - to vote for Chavan.

Dindori (MP), Aug 7 (PTI): In yet another incident of lynching, a mentally disabled man was allegedly killed by villagers suspecting him of being a child-lifter in this district of Madhya Pradesh, police said today. The incident took place at Singwar, 40 kms from the district headquarters, on July 28. The area is predominantly tribal. On August 1, police learnt that a body was found floating in a well in the village, said Superintendent of Police K Karthikeyan. The deceased was identified as Mukesh Gond, 27, the resident of Anuppur district, the SP told PTI. The probe revealed that four villagers -- Jagdish, Chetram, Sanjay and Gangaram -- were drinking on the night of July 28 when they saw Gond wandering aimlessly. When they called out to him, he hid in a school.

Army Major, three soldiers killed at LoC Srinagar, Aug 7 (AGENCIES): An Indian Army Major and three soldiers were killed in a gun battle that also left two militants dead on Tuesday when an incursion bid from Pakistan was foiled on the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, a defence official said. Defence Ministry spokesman Colonel Rajesh Kalia said a group of militants tried to infiltrate to this side of the LoC in Bandipora’s Gurez sector, some 180 km north of Srinagar. “They were challenged when they were seen attempting to infiltrate into our side of the LoC. In the ensuing encounter, two terrorists were killed while two others

are still trapped in the cordon laid around them. “Four soldiers including a major and three other ranks were martyred in this operation,” Kalia said. Sources said para commandos were rushed to augment the troops engaged in the gunfight on the border sector that usually remains peaceful. The identities of the dead soldiers were being withheld till their families are informed. The spokesman said the militants were given cover fire by the Pakistan Army by resorting to ceasefire violation to divert the attention of the troops on the LoC.

Lok Sabha approves Rs 11,698 crore additional expenditure

New Delhi, Aug 7 (AGENCIES): The Lok Sabha today approved the first batch of supplementary demands for grants envisaging a gross additional outgo of Rs 11,697.92 crore for the current fiscal. The Supplementary Demands for Grants for 2018-19 and demands for excess grants for 2015-16, along with the appropriation bills, were passed by a voice vote, as opposition members, including those of the Congress and CPI(M), staged a walkout saying the government had not replied to their concerns over a scam in the Rafale fighter jet deal. Responding to the five-hour debate, Finance Minister Piyush Goyal said

Piyush Goyal (file) “this government follows the kind of budget making where there is least deviation between the planned and actual estimates”. Citing an example, he said the first supplementary demands for grants showed that “this is the lowest ever in the last 15 years. It is

just 0.2 per cent of the total budget compared to 14 per cent in 2008-09.” Citing an example, he said the first supplementary demands for grants showed that “this is the lowest ever in the last 15 years. It is just 0.2 per cent of the total budget compared to 14 per cent in 2008-09.” The government has brought down the fiscal deficit “that we got as a legacy” from 4.4 per cent to 3.3 per cent, he said, adding “this is an honest government which spends every penny honestly.” He said 400 schemes have been brought under direct benefit transfer under which Rs four lakh crore have been disbursed to the beneficiaries directly.

Congress President Rahul Gandhi addresses his supporters during ‘Mahila Adhikar Sammelan’, in New Delhi on Tuesday. (PTI) New Delhi, Aug 7 (PTI): Congress president Rahul Gandhi today said people will no longer be fooled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “bogus promise of achche din” and likened the country to a train being driven to disaster by an “autocratic, incompetent and arrogant driver”. Addressing the Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) meeting in Parliament House, he alleged that corruption, economic failure, incompetence and spread of social divisiveness have peaked under the Narendra Modi government and asked party MPs to provide an alternative. There is a rising tide of anger against the ruling dispensation and party MPs must strive hard to give people an alternative to the “bogus promise of

Modiji’s ‘Achche Din’,” the Congress chief said while hitting out at the government on a range of issues, including the Rafale deal and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam. Gandhi recalled Modi’s remarks in 2014 when he was elected that India had been a slow “passenger train” for 70 years after Independence and would become a sleek and shining “magical train” destined for ‘achhe din’ under his guidance and rule. “Give me your votes, said Modiji, and ‘I will take you on the best and most comfortable journey of your life’. Four years of Modi rule later, sadly, India today looks more like a train that is being driven to disaster by an autocratic, incompetent and arrogant

driver who does not care what happens to the passengers he is responsible for,” Gandhi said. “The people of India are demanding change. They will no longer be fooled by your magical train that is headed for a bad accident,” he added. The people, he added, are looking to the Congress and its allied parties to help remove the Modi government and replace it with one which will listen to them, understand their problems and provide solutions to help reduce poverty, unemployment and inequality in the country. “There is a great responsibility that is being placed on all of us today, to win this historic struggle between the forces of democracy and social justice versus those of autocracy and social hierarchy,” he told his party’s MPs. Gandhi told Congress MPs “we must ensure” that the forces of hate, division and violence that are trampling the Constitution are prevented from coming back to power. He noted that “there is a great responsibility placed on all of us today, to win this historic struggle between the forces of democracy and social justice versus those of autocracy and social hierarchy”.

Justice Joseph sworn in as SC judge amid row New Delhi, Aug 7 (PTI): Justice K M Joseph took oath as the judge of the Supreme Court today along with Justices Indira Banerjee and Vineet Saran amid a row with the Centre over his seniority being lowered on his elevation. The elevation of Justice Joseph put an end to a protracted stand-off between the Centre and the judiciary but the former’s decision to lower his seniority created a fresh controversy despite his name being first recommended months before the other two judges. Justice Joseph, who as the Chief Justice of the Uttarakhand High Court had quashed the imposition of President’s Rule by the NDA government in the hill state in 2016 when it was ruled by the Congress, was sworn in after Justices Banerjee and Saran. While Justice Banerjee was the Chief Justice of Madras High Court, Jus-

New Delhi, Aug 7 (PTI): NCP’s Vandana Chavan is likely to be the Opposition candidate in the election for the post of Deputy Chairperson of Rajya Sabha but a final decision would be made after another round of meeting of the parties this evening. After a second round of meeting today, the Opposition concluded that Chavan would be able to get the support of all opposition parties and even a few of NDA allies. “Though we would again meet but it’s almost finalised that Chavan of NCP would be the Opposition candidate,” a senior opposition party leader said. Most opposition parties raised no objection on Chavan’s name during the meeting but they have left room for any possible lastminute change. Chavan, whose name

He remained the President of the DMK for nearly 50 years, a rare feat in any democratic country. Always sporting dark glasses, which became his trademark identity, and in later years a yellow stole, which critics said was against the atheism he preached. With the death of his arch rival J. Jayalalithaa in 2016 and his departure now, Tamil Nadu is left with a void. Born in Tirukkuvalai in the erstwhile Thanjavur district on June 3, 1924, Karunanidhi was

Fadnavis said that in Karunanidhi’s demise, the country had lost a towering political leader who gave a new direction to Tamil Nadu.

An oxymoron

or a career diplomat- turned- politician, Oxfordian Sashi Tharoor the two-time Lok Sabha MP from Thiruvananthapuram(Kerala)seems to be jumping in and out of controversies with his comments on various issues . Tharoor’s brush with controversies come and go as he tries to live up to his reputation as a loquacious English-speaking gentleman in the company of Indian natives. The wordsmith and Congress MP appears to also be running out of words and his image as a living English glossary may have also made him insensitive to the sentiments of the ‘natives’. In the recent controversy, Tharoor caused collateral damage on Nagas while attempting to hit at prime minister Narendra Modi. Tharoor wanted to take pot shots at Modi for refusing to don the muslim skull cap but going around wearing all sorts of head dress like the ‘hilarious’ Naga headdress and various kinds of ‘extraordinary outfits’. He said it was okay to wear all these ‘hilarious’ head dresses and outlandish dresses which used to be worn even by past prime ministers etc but asked why Modi refuses to wear the green cap (of the Muslims)? Unfortunately for Tharoor, the Nagas have been hurt by his unwarranted comment about their headdress. Tharoor has been having his day with such trite comments because he probably thinks his wordiness can pull him out of situations. Once he made another remark about his verbosity when he admitted : “I choose my words because they are the best ones for the idea I want to convey, not the most obscure or rodomontade ones.” Long words are usually a liability for public speakers, in other countries. They make one who speaks that was look like an out-of-touch elitist, and a show-off. Whether Tharoor realises that stirring up matters for showing off does not exact a heavy price, especially, if one is supposed to be a politician and not a comedian? Tharoor’s Micawberish English may sound impressive for Hinglish speaking citizens. However his profuse’ Victorian ramblings could be understood through a diagnosis by George Orwell, an English novelist, essayist, journalist and critic. Orwell, in his write up, had said there was a whole honest politics in lucidity. According to him, cloudy language was just a cover for insincerity. “When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink,” Orwell wrote. Perhaps Tharoor may be gushing out his loquaciousness out of insecurity. However by etching a space in the social network and electronic world, Tharoor has only reduced the space of supply to the high demands of those following him on twitter. Tharoor’s indiscretion has hurt the Nagas even if some have tried to understand the context for which the remark was made. Had Tharoor made even a trifle such remark about other communities in mainland India, the media and the nation would have been unforgiving. Even the entire parliament would have witnessed an uproar. Tharoor should learn that the Naga head dress is worn by a warrior whose valour in real battle earned one the right to display it. If that is hilarious then Tharoor is suffering from hallucination and needs to be locked up while he faces probe on the mysterious death of his late wife.

DailyDevotion Prayer in the Father’s House

…they found Him in the temple….And He said to them, “…Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?” —Luke 2:46, 49 Our Lord’s childhood was not immaturity waiting to grow into manhood— His childhood is an eternal fact. Am I a holy, innocent child of God as a result of my identification with my Lord and Savior? Do I look at my life as being in my Father’s house? Is the Son of God living in His Father’s house within me? The only abiding reality is God Himself, and His order comes to me moment by moment. Am I continually in touch with the reality of God, or do I pray only when things have gone wrong— when there is some disturbance in my life? I must learn to identify myself closely with my Lord in ways of holy fellowship and oneness that some of us have not yet even begun to learn. “…I must be about My Father’s business”— and I must learn to live every moment of my life in my Father’s house. Think about your own circumstances. Are you so closely identified with the Lord’s life that you are simply a child of God, continually talking to Him and realizing that everything comes from His hands? Is the eternal Child in you living in His Father’s house? Is the grace of His ministering life being worked out through you in your home, your business, and in your circle of friends? Have you been wondering why you are going through certain circumstances? In fact, it is not that youhave to go through them. It is because of your relationship with the Son of God who comes, through the providential will of His Father, into your life. You must allow Him to have His way with you, staying in perfect oneness with Him. The life of your Lord is to become your vital, simple life, and the way He worked and lived among people while here on earth must be the way He works and lives in you.

We won’t have a society if we destroy the environment. ~ Margaret Mead

ore gruesome details about the Alwar lynching have come to light. Rakbar Khan, the victim, could have been saved if the police had acted in time. In fact, the force stopped for tea and wasted three and a half hours in reaching the victim to the hospital. He bled to death. If one were to put all the pieces together, one would come to the conclusion that the police delay was deliberate. The religion of the victim—he was a Muslim—has been his undoing. Inquiry would give details but there is no doubt that the police were keener on recovering the two cows from him than saving his life. The cows were taken to a gaushala (cow shed) 10 kilometres away, a good one hour before Khan was brought to the community health centre, a six-kilometer drive from the attack site. According to data available on blood-thirsty mobs striking fear in the hearts of minorities for some time now, 86 percent of those dead in cow-related violence since 2010 are Muslims and 97 percent

Lynching to nowhere

of the attacks took place after 2014. Whenever such happenings took place, including lynching or attacking people, invariably the Muslims and dalits had borne the brunt in the name of so-called cow protection. This is a sad commentary on our efforts to have the society pluralistic. Mahatma Gandhi would emphasize on HinduMuslim unity all the time during his prayers. India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, too stressed on the same point and strengthened the argument for unity through steps, including abolishing the column of religion from application forms for admission to institutions and employment. The line drawn on the basis of religion is haunting us all the time. Muslims in India, although 17 crore, do not matter in the affairs of government administration. In fact, their habitation is separate and even though they have become slums they feel safe in living together. Not long ago, there was a riot in Delhi. I was helping the community as an activist. One sitting

judge preferred to stay in the slums and told me that he felt safe there. He found the police contaminated. Obviously, there is a lacuna in the training of policemen. For a long time, the government kept out mosque, temple or gurudwara from the police line. But leaders from different political parties saw people only in terms of religion and catered their parochial tendencies. T h e Kuldip question we should ask ourselves is why the protectors of law are becoming violators themselves. Now the temple, mosque and gurudwara are allowed in the places where they live and they blares their propaganda all the time. There are separate schools for each community. The madrassa cult has got deepened in the community because the Muslims want to save their identity. I raised all these points in the Rajya Sabha when I was nominated to the house in the 90s. My criticism was directed at the Congress which had ruled the country since independence. Instead

of giving reply to what I had mentioned, Pranab Mukher jee, then a top Congress leader, went out of the house to register his lack of interest on the issue. Probably, this was his reply to my pointed criticism of the Congress for having failed to galvanize the nation. Secularism is the ideology which we have chosen in contrast to Pakistan’s Islamic order. Unfortunately, the Nayar Muslim community in India stays distant. It feels as if it is somewhat responsible for the partition. This is not entirely true. The Hindus failed to instill confidence among the Muslims. Some fundamentalists were openly propagating for the beliefs they espoused. The ruling Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) has no connection with the national struggle and therefore its ideology remains w h a t S hya m a P r a s a d Mookerji, a tall leader at that time, propagated. The philosophy was to establish a Hindu rashtra. Jayaprakash Narain was able to bring even the fanatic Hindus into the

Janata Party and act at his bidding. They gave up their caps which was typical. The sticking point, however, was the relationship with the RSS. When JP asked the then Jan Sangh leaders to severe their ties with the RSS, they preferred to constitute their own party. L.K. Advani founded the BJP. Some committed members stayed with the RSS but most of them remained with JP. The matter ultimately came before the central leadership. The Jana Sangh lost there. That is the time when Atal Behari Vajpayee emerged as the leader because he was acceptable to all. He kept their confidence intact because the bus he took to Lahore had members of all political parties. The speech he made at the civic reception was so appealing to the Pakistanis that some of them came to me to seek my services to request Nawaz Sharif not to speak because the mood was pro-Vajpayee. Nawaz Sharif said he was not a fool to speak after Vajapyee. Instead, he said that if Vajpayee were to contest elections today in

Pakistan, he would sweep the polls. The BJP has come a long way since then. Prime Minister Narendra Modi looks trying to be another Vajpayee but not succeeding in his efforts. Vajpayee remains the idol because he was able to influence even the Congress followers. I recall Vajpayee visiting London when I was the High Commissioner. Those were the days when Babri masjid dominated the discussion. Vajpayee said: “Those who are Ram bhagat, they have gone to Ayodhya and those who love the country have come here.” Though Modi is emphasizing on sabka saath, sabka vikas, but RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat seems to have initiated a parallel campaign to have as many candidates in the Lok Sabha as possible so that when the time comes to choose the Prime Minister, the RSS would have its own stamp. Instances like Alwar lynching is going to pull down both the RSS and the BJP because the country’s mood does not tally with the intentions of RSS. The nation wants to stay pluralistic.

Post-mortem Telecom tower radiation on health Are we social rebels?

es indeed, we are in a lot of ways, especially when it comes to abiding by the law. We are so used to being stubborn that we often and unconsciously make and follow our own rules. Say something like, what you do is wrong but the same thing becomes right if I do it and vice versa; and problems persists in our society because there is very little or no scope of a common confluence point for our respective rules. A few instances to drive home the point- I would often see people, specifically the male gender relieving themselves just about in any friendly looking corner, especially in places where it’s written “Do not urinate here” or the likes. Likewise, we often like dumping our garbage where ever the notice ”Do not throw garbage here” is sighted, or most of us can choose to admit that we have at one point of time or the other parked our vehicle exactly where a “No Parking” sign is put up- sometimes even covering the sign board itself. Worst is painting the town red with tobacco because we consider the world to be a big spittoon especially those special places where the notice that reads “Do not spit here”. If that is not a proof enough then let’s face it, how many of us have the habit of putting on our seat-belt while driving or travelling or how many of us wear helmets while riding a two wheeler- with the understanding that it is for our own safety and not because the law imposed on us without our consent. Sadly for most of us, we lack that basic understandingbecause money is more important

than life as in the case of our taxis where it is a daunting task to spot the front passenger seat with its seat-belt untouched; for most, if not all, remove the seat-belt lock to accommodate an additional person to be sandwiched in between. The same yardstick applies to most private vehicles too. Likewise, most riders feel the hairstyle is more important than the head itself and even more appalling are some stupidly cool dudes riding with a headphone inserted on both ears without a care in the world. For the sake of common sense please go peacefully if you have to, but don’t leave a reason behind to convict someone for your folly. To top it all, most of the laws enforcing agents in uniform are seen flying around without wearing helmets themselves, so who will enforce the rule- an intriguing puzzle indeed. Bottom line is, it doesn’t take much to understand that a lot of avoidable deaths could be averted if we could just cultivate the habit of wearing seat-belts and helmets respectively. One doesn’t need special abilities to do that, just a few practice over time does the trick very well. Last but definitely not the least in importance is on how we defy traffic rules so much so that, we don’t feel the least concerned that we are violating a law; and besides almost everyone out there on the road does it at will, led by our own humble law makers of the State- a pretty good example to emulate. No wonder, we end up honking throughout the day as though the decibel of our honking will clear the

traffic without an inkling that our honking habits do reflect our level of education and culture as- developed societies around the world honks only in emergency situation; Maybe its emergency everyday for us, but again what emergency? Perhaps, an emergency of our attitude and mindset. Anyway, who gives a damn when our whole Bharat itself is so horny about honking, that it has become part and parcel of our diversity. My general appeal here to all including self, is to humbly accept the law as a friendly rules for a congenial and a dignified living because we are not alone but living in a community- a diverse community; and until and unless we learn to live according to the established law and order of the land without hassle, we ought to shift to the jungle and live as per our wishes, where we won’t offend anyone with our stubbornness and hard headedness besides our own self as we will be free from neighbors’. Not a practical idea I know, so let’s just rectify a simple misunderstanding that- it’s simply not cool to break laws, the only cool thing about it is the cool jail floor if caught acting cool in the wrong way. So, to keep it simple and plain, let’s just stop being rebels and come back to civilization. However, if at all being a rebel is so cool then be a rebel for positive change and maybe we can include ethics and civic sense in our curriculum and raise good social rebels.

Spewing venom

he NRC processin Assam seems to have ticked off a few bombs on the side of the opposition parties, the least not being Mamata Banerjee. She’s gone even to the extent of saying there will be bloodbath and civil war in the country. Her party (TMC) has been at the forefront leading the charge against the NRC in Assam. As Chief Minister, she should have refrained from using such toxic language. It is indeed very unbecoming of someone holding a constitutional post. Such kind of behavior leads to tension and unrest in society. Everyone needs to be aware of the fact that the NRC is under the direction and supervision of the Hon’ble Supreme Court. This has been necessitated to weed out illegal immigrants from Assam and this has also long been a popular demand of the people of Assam. What we also need to be aware of is the fact that those whose names have been left out can approach the concerned authorities to appeal their case. One such authority is the Foreigners Tribunal. There are proper mechanisms to address everyone’s concerns. But we must also accept the fact that there are indeed illegal immigrants swarming Assam in particular and the North East in

general, and hence, we need to rid ourselves of this problem. If anyone has any problem, particularly the opposition, they ought to raise the issue in a dignified manner. By catering to vote banks and selfish interests, the NRC has been made a mockery by people like Mamata Banerjee. One needs to tread carefully on such a sensitive issue. If there are any loopholes, the opposition can point them out but in such a way that communal Harmony is maintained. Rumor mongering does not bring any good. The future of Assam and the rest of the North East is at risk because of illegal immigrants mainly from Bangladesh, and as such, the NRC is a much welcome measure. In this regard, I would also once again, while appreciating the Nagaland government for undertaking various preventive measures in the event of any NRC fall out, make an appeal to the concerned authorities and agenciestoremainsteadfastandalert.Nagalandisfacingasituationofitsown.We need to come up with a proper mechanism of screening illegal immigrants and it has to be done at the earliest. Our survival is at risk. May good sense prevail. I Longkumer

ith research moving ahead, as rapidly as it is today, you will find that telecom Tower, or base stations, provide link to and from mobile phones through radiation. With growing concern over the impact of mobile radiations on human health, the Govt. had asked the Telecom department to reduce electromagnetic radiations to a tenth. People living close to tower base stations had complain of headache, depression, sleepless night, dizziness and tiredness etc. What will be the remedy if the complain of such uneasiness is true? Here we are in the heart of providing relief to say that one of my friends who has installed a tower base with two antennae atop on the terrace of his RCC 3 storey-building and live there in the same building happily without filling any complain on health hazard arising from the tower base. From the top of a striking view of Kohima city, we could see a rush of installation of mobile tower base at random. It seemed that no nodal department of the State Government has ever supervised and given guidelines for its constructions of such new technology in the city. There should be a joint involvement of the departments of health, TRAI, District Administration, Colony/ Village Panchayats for clearance and site selection for installation of tower base etc. Next to this is a possible tendency to revolt as the mobile tower base construction firms and the users are sleeping over the issue for a long time-despite it requires seminars, information and mass education for the new technology. One feels a strange and surprising as it feels at last cut off from the world as day follow without the link service of tower base. There are about 0.7 million owners throughout the country. The government had issued guidelines on health hazard from the tower radiation. Among other things, it says that maximum distance of a tower (with two antennae) from residential building should be 35 metres. The guideline also said that non-compliance will result in a penalty of fine per tower. In this age of new technology, we should have a responsive attitude for mobile handsets, the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) value was two watt , measured over 1 kg gms of human tissue. Mobile phone handsets generate electromagnetic fields which are absorbed by the human body. The amount of radio of frequency absorbed by the body while using mobile phone is measured by the SAR. It is said that lowering of radio of frequency field is unlikely to have health benefits - as the department is also already at par with the global standards. It is advised that the mobile users to use headset (Bluetooth wired) to keep mobile away from their body. There should also be a limit of the length of calls and make more use of text.

Initiative to stop vehicle theft

Sir,

The world has moved forward at an alarming pace that one can get any detail at the click of a button, but at the same time criminal minds have moved one step ahead The Ministry of Transport, Government of India’s decision to implement and enforce High Security Registration Number plates is highly appreciable, but at the same time it cannot guarantee the safety of vehicles. Infact, there’s a quantum rise in vehicle theft across India Vehicular theft can be curbed provided the transport authority develop a software or come up with a mechanism where just like the telecom number portability, the Vehicle Registration Number must not be transferred or changed after the used vehicle is purchased and taken to another state; each and every vehicle must be registered only once. Second hand/ used vehicle must not be registered, instead a code be attached to the existing vehicle number so that the revenue can be shared or transferred to the new location of the Vehicle .Even additional smart card can be attached to the existing registration number .This will prevent vehicle thieves to steal as they will surely be trapped in their flourishing illegal trade. It will be impossible to get customers to buy stolen vehicle. Let’s hope that this breaks the nexus between criminal minds across India and some unscrupulous elements in government agencies. Let the Vehicle owner feel that no his vehicle is safe wherever he parks. Eugene Bachmann, Midland Dimapur

17 lakh Maha govt employees strike

Government employees of GST department raise slogans during a protest on the first day of a 3-day strike in Mumbai on Tuesday. (PTI)

government departments joined the strike. “We had served the notice for strike on July 16. But since there was no response from the government, we went ahead with the agitation. It has been a 100 per cent success,” MSEO President Milind Sardeshmukh claimed. Maharashtra Government Employees Union General Secretary Avinash Daund questioned why the government was delaying the issue when an announcement to implement the 7th Pay Commission has already been made as well and the budgetary provision for it made. At

ACAUT,PSAN clarify that HC Court disposed... would mean a person must have been appointed before April 9, 1996. To this effect, none of the 706 + 58 would come under the benefit as they were all appointed in 2006-2016, after Uma Devi judgement, the organisations pointed out. On maintainability issue, the organisations said they would not challenge the appointments of 655 persons appointed before the office memorandum of June 6, 2016. The prayer was only for a direction to the 22 heads of department impleaded to take step for requisitioning the contract posts to NPSC within in a time-bound period, they clarified.

mous role in Tamil Nadu politics, which the people would continue to remember for long. Further, he said that Karunanidhi’s concern for the poor and downtrodden won him hearts of many people not only within his state but other parts of the country. State deputy chief minister expressed heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family and Tamilians across the globe at this hour of grief and prayed for the departed soul to rest in peace. Congress president Rahul Gandhi also twitted saying: “Loved by the Tamilian people, Kalaignar strode the stage of Tamil politics, like a colossus, for over 6 decades. In his passing, India has lost a great son. My condolences to his family as also to the millions of Indians who grieve for their beloved leader.” NDPP: Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) expressed grief over the death of M Karunanidhi, a veteran political leader from Tamil Nadu, who passed away Tuesday at the Kauvery Hospital in Chennai. In a condolence note, NDPP

president Chingwang Konyak said late Karunanidhi’s illustrious journey as an accomplished writer and as five-time chief minister of Tamil Nadu and ten-time president of Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam won him the hearts of many Tamilians as well as people of other regions of the country. He said Karunanidhi’s vocal self-assertion in numerous issues made him a leader to be reckoned with as he was an iconic figure in Indian politics. Chingwang said he was also one of the tallest regional leaders, who had been acknowledged even at the national level. Late Karunanidhi was and will remain an inspiration to all regional parties, Chingwang added. Chingwang, on behalf of NDPP and all its rank and file extend deepest condolences to the people of Tamil Nadu and Tamilians around the world in this hour of grief and prayed for the departed soul to rest in eternal peace. NDPP said India was poorer today due to the passing away of a great leader.

Parties slam Tharoor’s remark on Naga head dress (From p-1) However, NPF said unlike the ‘Skullcap’ of the Muslim religion, or the ‘Cow’ for the Hindu religious beliefs, the ‘Naga Headgear’ does not represent any religion for the Nagas. NPF said the head dress was a symbol of respect and status accorded to an honoured guest or revered persons of a certain

community. To refer the Naga Headgear as ‘Outlandish’ and ‘Hilarious’ was very unfortunate and uncalled for on the part of a learned man such as Tharoor, NPF said. NPF has demanded that Congress leader Shashi

Tharoor to tender apology to his comments immediately. It may be mentioned that chief minister Neiphiu Rio issued strong objections and condemnations against Tharoor’s remarks and also demanded apology on behalf of Nagas.

The chief minister conveyed deepest condolences to the members of the bereaved family and prayed to Almighty God to let his soul rest in peace. DY.

Gover nor slams Tharoor, demands apology Gover nor Achar ya slammed senior Congress leader Sashi Tharoor for describing Naga headgear as “outlandish” and “hilarious” and termed it “unacceptable”, while asking him to seek apology from the Nagas. Acharya remarked, on the sidelines of an awards ceremony, that there was an agenda behind Tharoor’s statement that could not be tolerated. Pointing out that Tharoor was highly educated and a respectable person, an MP who had also served in the United Nations, the governor said a man of his stature should not be commenting adversely on the habit and culture of any community, adding this was not acceptable.

technical institutes, hospitals, health centres in urban and rural centres was also affected, hitting the poor and senior citizen patients hard. Most government-run hospitals, including the Sir J. J. Group of Hospitals in Mumbai and other cities, postponed all scheduled surgeries and only performed emergency procedures in the absence of doctors, nursing, other paramedic and support staff. An official of the Maharashtra State Employees Organisation (MSEO) said that all employees from Mantralaya right up to the taluka levels across all

several places in Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Aurangabad and other important cities, the employees held protest marches or dharnas while raising slogans and asking the state government to immediately concede their demands. The MSEO has accused the state government of sitting on its demands, including the implementation of the Pay Commission report, which was to be made effective from January 1, 2016. However, later it dillydallied that it was awaiting the K.P. Bakshi Committee report on the matter as implementing the Pay Commission recommendations will entail an additional burden of Rs 21,000 crore on the debt-hit state. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had earlier said the government would implement the 7th Pay Commission report from January 2019 and a budgetary provision of Rs 10,000 crore was made in the last state Budget. However, the employees’ organizations apprehend that in case the general elections are announced by then, the model code of conduct would be enforced and their wait could drag on much longer.

M u m bai, Au g 7 (IANS): The functioning of government offices across Maharashtra was hit on Tuesday as around 17 lakh state employees launched a three-day strike over their pending demands, including implementation of the 7th Pay Commission report. This, despite the fact that the state government on Monday night adopted a tough stand and invoked the MESMA (Maharashtra Essential Services Maintenance Act). It warned of strict disciplinary action and salary cuts against those who failed to report for duty. Simultaneously, it also announced the payment of pending Dearness Allowance (DA) for 14 months to 150,000 gazetted officers with the August salaries, who withdrew from the three-day agitation. The strike’s impact was felt in the offices of all government departments, which remained largely deserted, virtually paralysing all routine work, with barely five per cent attendance in the Mantralaya, the state government seat at Nariman Point. Besides, work in government schools, colleges,

New Delhi, Aug 7 (PTI): Punjab National Bank suffered a net loss of Rs 940 crore in April-June 2018 due to higher provisioning for the multi-crore Nirav Modi scam and NPAs despite a recovery of Rs 8,445 crore of bad loans. The state-owned bank had earned a profit of Rs 343.40 crore in the year-ago period. “During the quarter, the bank made a total provisioning of Rs 5,135 crore. Of this, the provision for the Nirav Modi fraud was Rs 1,800 crore,” PNB Managing Director Sunil Mehta told reporters here. He however expressed hope of getting into the black during the ongoing financial year. The bank has made 63 per cent provisioning for the over Rs 14,000-crore fraud against 50 per cent required as per the RBI’s dispensa-

under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IPC) in respect of 12 borrowers. The 12 borrowers had cumulative fund-based and non-fund based outstanding amount of Rs 1,97,769 crore as on March 31, 2017. “It subsequently issued further directions to banks advising them to finalise and implement resolution plans in respect of 29 accounts by December 13, 2017, failing which these too had to be referred to CIRP under IBC,” Shukla said.

The minister also informed the House that gross advances by SCBs increased from Rs 25.03 lakh crore as on March 31, 2008, to Rs 68.75 lakh crore on March 31, 2014. As regards the stressed assets in the banking system, Shukla said the spurt was due to aggressive lending practices, wilful default, loan frauds, corruption in some cases and economic slowdown. Replying to another question, he said as per RBI data, there were 139 borrowers with aggregate gross NPAs of more than Rs 1,000 crore. Shukla said the RBI has apprised that it issued directions to banks in June 2017, instructing them to file applications for initiation of corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP)

getting any information on the ground that this is secret information as the source is a stolen source which is illegal. “It is only after this government came in that we sent our Revenue Secretary to Switzerland. We had high-level discussions with the government of Switzerland and a joint statement was issued on October 15, 2015 by which both sides agreed that they will share information with each other and since then we have started getting information on HSBC accounts,” the Minister said. He said now the same process has been initiated with other countries and automatic sharing of information pacts are with several

countries. On the HSBC list, the minister said that undisclosed income of Rs 8,448 crore was detected with a tax demand of 5,447 crore. Penalty of Rs 1,290 crore has been levied in 164 cases. So far 199 prosecutions complaints have been filed in 84 cases. As regards Panama papers, the Minister said, it contained details of 426 persons and investigations are going on in all cases. “So far 62 invasive actions have been conducted which included seizure action in 50 cases and survey action in 12 cases,” the Minister said. Similar prosecution complain cases have been filed in 16 cases and in 33 cases notices under section 10 of the Black Money Act, brought by the Modi government, have been issued, he added. “As an outcome of these investigations so far undisclosed foreign investment to the tune of Rs 1,532.88 crore has been detected. I have paradise papers also,” Goyal said and added there is no verifiable data on black money.

Indirect Taxes and Custom (CBIC) had hiked import duties as well as raised the ad-valorem rate of duty for certain items. According to trade experts, India would not be able to give any direct exports incentive to the textile sector, so there is a need to support the segment to encourage domestic manufacturing.

New Delhi, Aug 7 (PTI): India expects to receive data from Swiss authorities on HSBC accounts of its citizens in about 10 days after Switzerland’s apex court directions that data be shared with the Indian government, Finance Minister Piyush Goyal said Tuesday. Serious efforts are on to check black money. Though there are no official estimates of such money stashed in foreign countries a tax demand of Rs 5,447 crore has been made in HSBC undisclosed income of Rs 8,448 crore, Goyal said in the Rajya Sabha during the Question Hour. “The Supreme Court of Switzerland has ordered the Swiss government to share with us that data in about a week or ten days ...We are going to get that,” the Finance Minister said replying to a supplementary on a question on black money deposited in foreign banks. He said the HSBC list was released somewhere in the year 2010-11 and from 2011-12 to 2014 the government kept trying to make an effort but was stalled by the Swiss government from

New Delhi, Aug 7 (PTI): The government on Tuesday doubled import duty on as many as 328 textile products to 20 per cent to provide a boost to the manufacturing of these items in the country. A notification to this effect was tabled by Minister of State for Finance Pon Radhakrishnan in the Lok Sabha. The notification said it seeks to “increase customs duty on 328 tariff lines of textile products from the existing rate of 10 per cent to 20 per cent...under Section 159 of the Customs Act, 1962”. Increase in duties would give an edge to domestic manufacturers as imported products are currently cheaper. Increase in manufacturing activity will help create jobs in the sector, which employs about 10.5 crore people. The government had last month doubled import duty on over 50 textile products -- including jackets, suits and carpets -- to 20 per cent, a move that is aimed at promoting domestic manufacturing. Through a notification, the Central Board of

Iran sanctions: Trump warns trading partners Wildfires continue to ravage California

Donald Trump being destroyed. Sanctions are already badly affecting people’s lives. I can’t afford to buy food, pay the rent...” said a construction worker on the streets of the capital. The sanctions reimposed on Tuesday, targeting access to US banknotes and key industries such as cars and carpets, were unlikely to cause immediate economic turmoil. Iran’s markets were actually relatively buoyant, with the rial strengthening by 20 percent since Sunday after the government relaxed foreign exchange rules and allowed unlimited, tax-free gold and currency imports.

But the second tranche on November 5 covering Iran’s vital oil sector could be far more damaging -- even if several key customers such as China, India and Turkey have refused to significantly cut their purchases. In a statement on Monday before the sanctions were reimposed, Trump said: “The Iranian regime faces a choice. “Either change its threatening, destabilising behaviour and reintegrate with the global economy, or continue down a path of economic isolation. “I remain open to reaching a more comprehensive deal that addresses

Israeli strike kills 2 Hamas militants

Jerusalem, Aug 7 (Agencies): An Israeli strike on Tuesday killed two militants of the Gaza Strip’s ruling Hamas movement after shots were fired at soldiers, Gazan and Israeli officials said. Hamas’s military wing, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, confirmed in a statement that the dead men were its fighters and named them as Ahmed Murjan and Abdel-Hafez al-Silawi. An Israeli militar y statement, apparently referring to the same incident, said that the army returned fire after shots were fired at its soldiers from a Hamas post in the northern Gaza Strip, next to the border with Israel. Palestinian sources said that the Israeli attack was in the north of the strip but they said it was a drone strike, while the Israeli statement said that it was tank fire. A video distributed by the Israeli army appeared to show a tank striking a

military post in the Gaza Strip. The military said it was prepared “to target any aggression against Israel and holds Hamas responsible for everything happening in and from the Gaza Strip.” It added that no Israeli troops were injured in the exchange. Since Palestinian protests and clashes along the Gaza border erupted at the end of March, at least 160 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire. One Israeli soldier has

been shot dead by a Palestinian sniper. The protests call for Palestinians to be able to return to the land they or their families fled or were expelled from in the 1948 war surrounding the creation of Israel. Gaza’s Islamist rulers Hamas have fought three wars with Israel since 2008. The United Nations and Egypt are currently trying to secure a deal between Israel and Hamas for a lasting truce.

across the state are trying to contain 16 major fires that are burning in hot, dry and windy conditions. On Monday, another fast-moving fire ignited in the state, this time in Orange County, where firefighters battled the Holy Fire that expanded to more than 4,000 acres. That fire started in the Cleveland National Forest and evacuations in the nearby areas have been ordered, according to the Orange County Fire Authority. In Northern California’s Shasta County, the devastating Carr Fire claimed its seventh victim on August 4 when a Pacific Gas and Electric worker died while working with a crew to restore power, CNN reported. Over the weekend, the White House approved a disaster declaration for Shasta County, allowing affected residents to apply for federal assistance including temporary housing and home repairs. Currently, more than 14,000 firefighters are battling the wildfires across California.

the full range of the regime’s malign activities, including its ballistic missile programme and its support for terrorism,” Trump said. But his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani dismissed the idea of talks while crippling sanctions were in effect. “If you’re an enemy and you stab the other person with a knife, and then you say you want negotiations, then the first thing you have to do is remove the knife,” he told state television.. “They want to launch p s yc h o l o g i c a l wa r f a r e against the Iranian nation,” Rouhani said. “Negotiations with sanctions doesn’t make sense.” European governments are infuriated by Trump’s strategy, which leaves their businesses in Iran faced with the threat of US legal penalties. British Foreign Office Minister Alastair Burt told the BBC that the “Americans have really not got this right”. He said it was a commercial decision for compa-

nies whether to stay in Iran, but that Britain believed the nuclear deal was important “not only to the region’s security but the world’s security.” Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told reporters the global reaction to Trump’s move showed that the US was diplomatically “isolated”. But many large European firms are leaving Iran for fear of US penalties, and Trump warned of “severe consequences” for firms and individuals that continued to do business with Iran. Daimler said it had “suspended our already limited activities in Iran in accordance with the applicable sanctions”. There is also mounting pressure at home, where US hostility has helped fuel long-running discontent over high prices, unemployment, water shortages and the lack of political reform. Those protests have proliferated over the past week, though verifiable information is scarce due to heavy reporting restrictions.

Nobody will threaten us with wall: Mexico’s Prez-elect

Beijing, Aug 7 (IANS): Four people were killed and nine others reported missing in a coal mine accident in China’s Guizhou province, authorities said on Tuesday. The accident took place at around 9.10 p.m. on Monday at the Zimujia coal mine in Panzhou city, reports Xinhua news agency. Rescue work is underway. Chinese mines, especially coal mines - the country’s main source of energy, have a high accident rate and are among the most dangerous in the world, although in recent years the number of fatal accidents has fallen significantly.

MEXICO, Aug 7 (Agencies): Mexico’s Presidentelect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador vowed Monday his country would not be threatened by a wall, in a thinly veiled rebuke to US President Donald Trump’s jabs across the border. “Mexico is going to become a power - and will change the balance of power. Nobody will threaten us that our borders will be closed or militarized,” warned Lopez Obrador, who takes office December 1. “This will be possible because the country will grow and there will be jobs.” Trump has cited Mexico’s record number of homicides last year as one of many reasons the United

Trump’s explosive remarks cost him business contracts and fueled the worst diplomatic crisis in decades between the United States and Mexico. On May 14, a senior US delegation led by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with Lopez Obrador in Mexico City. But the issue of the wall was not addressed then or in letters that the Mexican president-elect later exchanged with Trump. Official Mexican government statistics counted 28,711 murders in 2017, the highest since records began in 1997. The situation has worsened, with another 15,973 murders over the first half of this year alone.

Tehran, Aug 7 (Agencies): US President Donald Trump warned countries against doing business with Iran on Tuesday as he hailed the “most biting sanctions ever imposed”, triggering a mix of anger, fear and defiance in Tehran. “The Iran sanctions have officially been cast. These are the most biting sanctions ever imposed, and in November they ratchet up to yet another level,” Trump wrote in an early morning tweet. “Anyone doing business with Iran will NOT be doing business with the United States. I am asking for WORLD PEACE, nothing less.” Within hours of the sanctions taking effect, German automaker Daimler said it was halting its business activities in Iran. Trump’s withdrawal from a landmark 2015 nuclear agreement in May had already spooked investors and triggered a run on the Iranian rial long before nuclear-related sanctions went back into force. “I feel like my life is

Ta n j u n g, Au g 7 (IANS): The death toll in the 6.9 magnitude Indonesia earthquake climbed to 105 on Tuesday while rescue teams continued to search for survivors under the rubble. The earthquake shook Lombok Island over the weekend. Indonesian National Board for Disaster Management spokesperson Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said that among the dead, 78 were from the northern Lombok regency, 15 from western Lombok, four from Mataram, three from eastern Lombok, two from central Lombok and two from Bali’s capital Denpasar. About 236 people were reported to be injured and 20,000 people displaced by the disaster. Thousands of houses were damaged, CNN reported. All the 105 people killed were Indonesians, while the injured included seven foreigners -- one each

from Denmark, the US, the UK, France, Belgium, Czech Republic and South Korea, according to Efe news. Sutopo said that the death toll was expected to rise as the search operations continued, mainly in the most affected regions of northern and eastern Lombok. Thousands of tourists were being gradually evacuated from Lombok on boats or delayed flights taking off from Mataram’s international airport where many foreigners spent the night in the terminal and in corridors. Some 7,000 tourists were evacuated from the popular Gili archipelago -which includes the islands Air, Meno and Trawangan -- off the coast of northeast Lombok, near the epicentre of the earthquake, which was followed by 250 aftershocks.

astronomers Hollywood votes to remove Markle turns down Emmy Award invitation Chinese discover lithium-rich

eghan Markle has “politely” declined her invitation to the 2018 Emmy Awards in Los Angeles according to The Sun. Sources revealed to the outlet that the new Duchess of Sussex and her husband, Prince Harry, were invited to the annual Hollywood celebration of TV as special guests. “Show executives and NBC had offered Harry and her an invitation to celebrate with the biggest stars around, meet her showbiz friends and even present an honor,” the insider told the publication. “We had hoped Meghan would attend as a way of saying goodbye to her Suits fans and colleagues.” But despite receiving the honorable invite, The Sun reported that the Duke and Duchess “politely turned down” the invitation and that Markle’s decision was a “line in the sand”

Meghan markle between her former acting career and new life as a member of the British royal family. Prior to the announcement of the 2018 Emmy Award nominees, it was predicted that Markle could possibly be nominated for her first Emmy for her role as Rachel Zane in “Suits.” In June, a rep for USA Network confirmed to Fox

News that the 37-year-old’s name was submitted for the “Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.” “Meghan Markle was entered by the awards consultants for the USA Network,” a Television Academy spokesperson told Fox News. “They verified that she and/or her reps were aware that the entry was being made and had advised to go ahead and proceed with the submission.” Throughout her career, the new royal has not won any major awards for her “Suits” character nor has the show be nominated for an Emmy. Markle broke the news that she would be “transitioning” out of her acting career, revealing she would not be returning for the eighth season of “Suits,” back in 2017 during the time of her engagement. Experts previously told Fox News it is expected that

And with a new life full of royal duties, the duchess even rang in her 37th birthday with a royal event.

giant star

hinese astronomers have discovered the most lithium-rich giant star ever known, which could shed new light on the evolution of the universe. With 3,000 times more lithium than a normal star, it was found in the direction of Ophiuchus, on the north side of the galactic disk, at a distance of 4,500 light years from Earth, reports Xinhua news agency. The star has a mass almost 1.5 times our sun. A research team, led by astronomers from National Astronomical Observatories of China (NAOC), made the discovery with the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fibre Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), a special quasimeridian reflecting Schmidt telescope located in NAOC’s Xinglong Observatory, in Hebei province. The telescope can observe about 4,000 celestial bodies at one time and has made a massive contribution to the study of the structure of the galaxy. Lithium is considered one of the three elements synthesised in the Big Bang, together with hydrogen and helium. The abundance of the three elements was regarded as the strongest evidence of the Big Bang. The evolution of lithium has been a key subject in the research of the evolution of the universe and stars. However, giant stars rich in lithium are very rare, with only a few found over the past three decades. This makes their study remarkably challenging, said Zhao Gang, a lead astronomer at NAOC. “The discovery of this star has largely increased the upper limit of observed lithium abundance,” said Zhao. The results of the study were published in the latest issue of Nature Astronomy. (IANS)

Trump’s Walk of Fame star

Hollywood votes to remove Donald Trump’s Walk of Fame star

onald Trump’s presence on the Hollywood Walk of Fame could soon be a thing of the past, after plans to remove his star received significant backing. The West Hollywood City Council has voted unanimously to approve a resolution that urges the Los Angeles City Council and Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to permanently remove his star. The resolution was backed at a council meeting on Monday evening, with the agenda item citing his “disturbing treatment of women” among the reasons for the star’s proposed removal. “The City Council will consider adopting a resolution urging the Los Angeles City Council and Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to remove President Donald J. Trump’s star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, due to his disturbing treatment of women and other actions that do not meet the shared values of the City of West Hollywood, the region, state, and country”, the item

stated. But the final decision rests with the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, who have previously resisted calls to remove the stars of controversial figures. In December 2015, they resisted impassioned calls for the removal of Bill Cosby’s star from the Walk of Fame, after the iconic entertainer faced multiples sexual assault claims. To date, there has not been a single star removed from the Walk of Fame. In a statement, Hollywood Chamber of Commerce CEO Leon Gubler told the Hollywood Reporter: “”The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a registered historic landmark. Once a star has been added to the Walk, it is considered a part of the historic fabric of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Because of this, we have never removed a star from the Walk.” The latest attempt to remove Trump’s star comes a week after it was smashed up for the second time. Austin Mikel Clay, 24, has been charged with vandalism and stands accused of using a

pickaxe to smash the president’s star on Hollywood Boulevard on July 25. Following the news that the West Hollywood City Council has passed a resolution to have President Donald Trump’s star removed from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, “Star Wars” actor Mark Hamill is seizing the opportunity to advocate for the late Carrie Fisher to be honored in his place. Hamill, who has been outspoken about his distaste for the president, took to Twitter shortly after the news broke about Trump’s star to call for the City Council to give Fisher his spot. “How about replacing it with someone who really earned it? Like @carriefisher,” he wrote. Fisher’s co-stars from the famed science fiction franchise, Hamill and Harrison Ford, already have stars with the former receiving his in 2003 and the latter earlier this year. Sadly, despite the 66-year-old star’s advocacy, fans shouldn’t expect to see a star in Fisher’s name any time soon. (NME)

ship will allow the club to develop and adapt at a faster rate as they look to compete with the growing competition in the Premier League. “The successful implementation of the offer will result in the opening of a new chapter in the history of the club in bringing 100 per cent private ownership by KSE,” the statement from KSE read. “KSE believes moving to private ownership will bring the benefits of a single owner better able to move quickly in furtherance of the club’s strategy and ambitions. KSE is a committed, long-term owner of the club.” The Financial Times reported in July that Usmanov was exploring the the sale of his stake in Arsenal to Kroenke after failing in his attempts to take full ownership of the club. The purchase could mean further change at Arsenal after they waved farewell to former boss Arsene Wenger in May following a 22-year spell at the club and welcomed Unai Emery as their new head coach.

London, Aug 7 (Agencies): Burnley have confirmed the signing of Joe Hart from Manchester City for a reported £3.5 million fee. The England international signs an initial twoyear contract with the Turf Moor side, joining after regular shot-stopper Nick Pope dislocated his shoulder last month. The 31-year-old had loan spells at Torino and West Ham over the last two seasons, but has opted for a permanent switch to the Clarets this summer, joining Pope and Tom Heaton as the third Three Lions goalkeeper in Sean Dyche’s squad. Hart will have to compete with Heaton, who is recovering from a calf problem, and Anders Lindegaard for the first-choice goalkeeper spot. Hart’s role at City was reduced with the arrival of Pep Guardiola, but the 75time international insists he holds nothing but affection for City despite his desire to pursue a permanent move away. “It’s been a fantastic experience, I’ve grown a lot,” Hart told City’s website as he bid farewell. “I came here at 19 and I’m going to leave at 31 so it’s been a long time and a lot of things have happened

- family, friends and a lot of football!” “I certainly feel a lot of love and appreciation. I’ve always enjoyed the Man City fans, I came here as a Shrewsbury Town player - a kid from Shrewsbury. It was the pinnacle for me to be at

this club before they were happy to have given the fans hopefully I’ll be thought of challenging for the title, and some great memories and well.” I was welcomed from day one.

But a defensive lapse just a minute later allowed an Ahli striker to beat Poirei from close and break the deadlock in the 16th minute. Bengaluru kept pushing high before finally pulling level in the 42nd minute. Xisco who con-

tinued to impress, found Udanta Singh in space who controlled the ball well before slotting it home to make it 1-1 going into the breather. The second half began in a disastrous fashion for Bengaluru who conceded three goals in quick succession (46th, 51st, and 54th minutes) after some defensive errors allowed Shabab Al Ahli strikers to capitalise in the final third. Bengaluru went close to pulling a goal back in the 79th minute when Erik Paartalu tried to dink one over the goalkeeper but the ball came off the woodwork. A minute later at the other end it was Shabab who scored their fifth with a long-range strike. In the final minutes it was Miku, playing his first game since firing Bengaluru to the Super Cup title, who created a good chance only to be denied by the rival custodian, after dribbling past a host of defenders with his trademark solo run as the game ended 1-5. Bengaluru FC will next face Villarreal CF B in their third game on August 11.

New Delhi, Aug 7 (IANS): Following their quarter-final finish at the Women’s Hockey World Cup, India have jumped a place to be ninth in the world rankings announced by International Hockey Federation (FIH) on Tuesday.

Paul Pogba

Lo n d o n, Au g 7 (Agencies): Manchester United have rejected an offer for Paul Pogba from Barcelona of £45m plus Yerry

Mina and Andre Gomes. The news follows earlier reports suggesting Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola had travelled to Manchester in

an attempt to force through a move to the Spanish champions for the French midfielder. But United apparently have no desire to part with Pogba, who has just returned to training after winning the World Cup with France. The 25-year-old signed for United in 2016 - for a then-world record £93.25m - and has three years left on his contract. Even if United had been minded to sell, the Premier League transfer deadline is on Thursday, giving them just two days to secure a high-profile replacement. The Spanish window does not close until August 31, meaning Barcelona have until the end of the month to try and sign Pogba in this window. And Barca may have been hoping that the inclusion of Mina in their offer might induce United to make a deal. The Old Trafford club have reportedly been in the market for a centre-back this summer and have been linked with several players, including Mina, a 23-yearold Colombia international and Leicester defender Harry Maguire.

Lo n d o n, Au g 7 (Agencies): Willian has revealed he remains in contact with Jose Mourinho and hopes to work with his former manager again in the future. The Chelsea forward has been the subject of interest from both Manchester United and Barcelona this summer. The Catalans made three bids in an effort to prise the Brazilian away from Stamford Bridge before ultimately turning their attention to his compatriot Malcolm, who joined Barcelona in a £37.3m deal. Willian said, “I’ve always made it very clear that I’ve always been very happy playing for Chelsea. I never said that I want to leave the club.” But the 29-year-old has admitted he fancies a reunion with Mourinho at some stage. “Mourinho is the best manager I’ve ever worked with. We have a good relationship, we are friends,” Willian told ESPN Brazil. “Sometimes we talk, we text, we send messages to each other via WhatsApp. He is a great manager, I really enjoyed working with him. I hope I can work with him again someday.”

T o ro n t o, Au g 7 (Agencies): Canadian Milos Raonic made good use of his booming serves to oust 10th seeded Belgian David Goffin in the first round of the Rogers Cup on Monday. Playing in front of fellow Canadians in Toronto, Raonic topped Goffin 6-3, 6-4, winning all 27 of the points scored while he was on first serve. The unseeded Raonic, who is coming off a run to the quarter-final at Wimbledon, will next face the winner between American Frances Tiafoe and Italian Marco Cecchinato. Meanwhile, Kyle Edmund crashed out of the Rogers Cup in the opening round, suffering a bruising 6-1 6-2 loss to Diego Schwartzman. Edmund appeared outgunned by Schwartzman from the off, losing his first service game as the world No 12 raced into a 3-0 lead. The Briton, ranked 16th by the ATP, made it on to the scoreboard in the fourth game, but was broken again in the sixth and went on to lose the set.

Mirabai Chanu

New Delhi, Aug 7 (PTI): World Champion weightlifter Mirabai Chanu Tuesday pulled out of the Asian Games after failing to recover from a lower back injury, which is yet to be fully diagnosed. “Yes, Mirabai will not be taking part in the Asian Games,” Indian Weightlifting Federation (IWLF) Secretary Sahdev Yadav told PTI. The decision comes in the wake of national coach Vijay Sharma recommendation that the Commonwealth goldmedallist must pull out of Jakarta event from August

18 to be fit for the Olympic qualifiers, later this year. The reigning CWG champion is struggling with an unidentified lowerback problem since May and is yet to begin fullfledged weight training. When pain subsided last week, Mirabai travelled to Mumbai to get treated and resume weight training. H oweve r, t h e 2 3 year-old felt discomfort again, prompting Sharma to recommend to the federation that she pull out to avoid aggravating the injury ahead of the Olympic

Venus survives scare

Venus Williams avoided an upset at the hands of fellow American Caroline Dolehide, holding off the 19-year-old 7-5, 6-1 to claim her first round match at the Rogers Cup on Monday. Williams, coming off

qualifiers. “The Olympic qualifiers event is approaching and that is more important than the Asian Games,” Sharma had said. The Manipuri weightlifter’s absence from the upcoming Asian Games comes as a huge setback for India, as she was considered as one of the strongest contenders for a gold medal in the event. The World Championship, scheduled to be held in Ashgabat from November 1, will be the first Olympic qualifying event this year.

a disappointing quarterfinal loss at the Silicon Valley Classic last week, fell down a break early but recovered to turn back her dangerous opponent. “I think she had a really great second serve,” Williams told reporters, of Dolehide. “I think I got a better feel for it in the second set. In the first set, I was still figuring it out.” Dolehide displayed her full potential in March when she nearly took down world number one Simona Halep at Indian Wells. Against Williams, the young player lost momentum late as Williams claimed 12 of the final 14 games of the match. The only two other seeds in action during the opening day were ninth seed Karolina Pliskova and 10th seed Julia Goerges who both won. Pliskova beat Katerina Siniakova 6-4 6-4 while Goerges overcame Timea Babos 3-6 7-6(3) 6-4. Among those yet to play are top-ranked Halep and number two Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark. The top eight seeds all received first-round byes.
