President backs Modi govt’s CAB

NEW DELHI, JAN 31 (AGENCIES): President of India has backed the Centre’s Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB), which has met with stiff opposition from political parties and people in the North Eastern states. “The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill will make it easier to provide Indian citizenship to those who had to take refuge in India after facing oppression somewhere else,” he said.

The bill seeks to amend the Citizenship Act of 1955 in order to grant citizenship to Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis and Christians from Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Pakistan if they have lived in India for six years, even if they do not possess the necessary documents.

Ahead of the Budget Session, President Ram Nath Kovind on Thursday addressed the Joint Sitting of both Houses of Parliament. The president also praised the introduction of reservations for the poor among upper castes. The government has taken many measures for women’s welfare, like introducing a bill to make triple talaq illegal

In a press release, KDCC press secretar y, Yangertemjen, stated the at the consultative meeting KDCC officials led by its president Kevi Vizo also took note of the problems and concern shared by the party workers and officials under Kohima district.

and extending the period of maternity leave, he added.

This is the last session of Parliament before the Lok Sabha polls later this year.

The Centre wants to pass the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 and the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Ordinance during this session, whose first tranche ends on February 13.

The Centre will present an interim budget, or voteon-account, on Friday. On Wednesday, the Union Ministry of Finance had refuted reports that it planned to present a full budget despite it being an election year.

He claimed that the Centre has improved the facilities for disabled people and got rid of all unmanned

railway crossings in the country. The government has added 13 crore cooking gas connections in four-anda-half years, he added. It has also worked to provide internet connections at the rural level, and helped farmers increase foodgrain output, he said.

Kovind also claimed that Rs 88,000 crore had been deposited in bank accounts under the Jan Dhan scheme. He cited an international survey and said that 55% of all new bank accounts opened around the world between 2014 and 2017 were in India.

“I am happy that our country is building inclusive societies based on morality, consistent with Mahatma Gandhi’s dreams,” Kovind added.

Both Houses of Parliament were adjourned after Kovind’s speech. After the Lok Sabha was adjourned, the president’s speech was placed in the Rajya Sabha.

The Upper House was adjourned after mourning the deaths of its former MPs, George Fernandes and Sitaram Singh.

Earlier in the day, the Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan and Rajya Sabha

chairperson M Venkaiah Naidu held all-party meetings. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Narendra Singh Tomar called the all-party meeting in an effort to ensure that the session goes on uninterrupted. (More on p-7)

Centre-NE CMs to meet today

The Centre has invited the chief ministers of the North East for talks on the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2019 on Friday, after 10 political parties from the region, most of them allies of the ruling BJP, met at Guwahati on Wednesday and unanimously opposed the “anti-Northeast” bill.

Sources said that the in the Meghalaya chief minister’s office told The Telegraph that the Home ministry called the resident commissioner, Meghalaya House, in New Delhi on Wednesday and invited chief minister Conrad Sangma for talks on the bill, which has seen widespread protests in the region since December.

“Similar calls were made to other chief ministers of the region on Wednesday. The meeting will be held at 3 p.m. on Friday,” the source said.

Subsidised LPG price cut by Rs 1.46 NEW DELHI, JAN 31 (PTI): Domestic cooking gas (LPG) price was cut by Rs 1.46 per cylinder Thursday, the third straight reduction in a month’s time due to tax impact on reduced market rate of the fuel.

A 14.2-kg subsidised LPG cylinder will now cost Rs 493.53 in the national capital from midnight of Thursday as against Rs 494.99 currently, Indian Oil Corp (IOC), the country’s largest fuel retailer, said in a statement.

This is the third straight monthly reduction in LPG rate. On December 1, subsidised LPG price was cut by Rs 6.52 per bottle and by Rs 5.91 on January 1.

IOC said non-subsidised or market priced LPG rates have been cut by a Rs 30 per cylinder “due to fall in price of LPG in international market and strengthening of US dollar-rupee exchange rate”.

Meanwhile, retail petrol and diesel prices were slashed across cities Thursday. After today’s price revision, petrol became cheaper by 10 paise across four metropolitan cities of the country while diesel rates are down by 8-9 paise.

Consultative meet rejects CAB

Neiphiu Rio and Y. Patton with members of various CSOs and legislators after the meet.

DIMAPUR, JAN 31 (NPN): The consultative meeting of the State government with civil society groups, tribal organisations, political parties, NGOs, etc, held at Rhododendron Hall, Chumukedima here on Thursday unanimously resolved to oppose the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 and rejected it outright its implementation in Nagaland.

Speaking on the occasion, chief minister Neiphiu Rio opined that Nagas need to recognise their rights and fight for them, explaining that the privileges were clearly defined in the 16Point Agreement. He said all Nagas have to fight united for protecting their rights under Article 371(A).

Noting the opposition

of Nagas to the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB), Rio remarked, “There is nothing more to discuss. Now, we have to strengthen our voice by taking appropriate decisions and by passing a resolution in the Assembly.”

He also emphasised on extending Inner Line Permit (ILP) to entire Nagaland, including Dimapur.

On NPF boycotting the consultative meet, the chief minister termed it as unfortunate and felt that CAB was an important issue that needed to be deliberated with one voice.

In his speech, deputy chief minister Y Patton assured the House that the State government was taking all necessary steps to safeguard the interest of the people of the State.

Unemployment rate NPF principle rooted in unique history of Nagas: Shurho hit 45-year high: report Correspondent

NEW DELHI, JAN 31 (AGENCIES): India’s unemployment rate hit a 45year-high of 6.1 per cent in 2017-18, as per the National Sample Survey Office’s (NSSO’s) periodic labour force survey (PLFS) of the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation.

The latest data on unemployment in India, which is yet to come in public domain, is the first comprehensive survey on employment conducted by a government agency after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced demonetisation move in November 2016.

The unemployment rate was at its highest level since 1972-73 - a period from when the jobs data is comparable, the news agency quoted as saying. However, NITI Aayog vice chairman Rajiv Kumar was quick to respond saying the report

was “not verified” and the “veracity of the data is not known”.

The report further said unemployment was higher in urban areas (7.8%) as compared to 5.3% in rural areas of the country, as mentioned in a report in Business Standard. The unemployment rate among youth reached a record high level in 2017-18 as compared to previous year and ‘much higher compared to that in the overall population,’ the report stated.

“For educated rural females, the unemployment rate ranged between 9.7% to 15.2% between 2004-05 to 2011-12, which rose to 17.3 per cent in 2017-18,” the report said.

In case of rural educated males, the joblessness rate surged to 10.5 per cent in 2017-18 from 3.5-4.4% between 2004-05 to 2011(Cont’d on p-5) 12.

KOHIMA, JAN 31 (NPN): NPF president Dr Shurhozelie Liezietsu said the party has survived as its basic principle was deeply rooted in the unique history of Nagas. Addressing the party’s Central Executive Council (CEC) meeting here Thursday, Dr. Liezietsu asserted that NPF was the only regional political party that has survived against all odds for the last 56 years, adding it was the oldest regional political party of the Northeast and the second oldest in the country.

He claimed that the party has a declared policy that the problem in Nagaland is a political problem requiring political approach for its solution, a human problem that requires human approach. He said the stand of the party was to defend fundamental rights of the people of Nagaland. Exhorting party men, Dr. Liezietsu said though NPF had lost the last Assembly election by a very small margin, they should not regret as sometime “we have to admit our

mistakes and accept defeat as our destiny”. He said the NDPP-BJP alliance did not have the magic figure and were ruling the State with the help of one JD (U), one independent and two NPP MLAs from a very shaky platform that could collapse any time.

He claimed though NPF was in the opposition, other parties had joined and that other regional parties from mainland also expressed desire to support it in any capacity. The veteran NPF leader also congratulated ADC member from Tamenlong, Manipur who won by a big margin in the byelection held on January 14.

Govt school textbooks arrive on time, finally Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, JAN 31 (NPN): Apart from grappling with the problems of dilapidated buildings and lack of teachers, government school students from classes A to 8 in far flung areas of the State have to often contend with free textbooks reaching them late, sometimes even as late as April or even June. This time though, for the first time in many years, the consignment of textbooks from New Delhi has reached the godown near Government College here on time – in the last week of December 2018 – and before the start of the new academic session.

Last year, the consignment had reached Dimapur only in the month of March on account of the Assembly elections. School Education department’s language official, Takowati, who is in charge of distribution of the

consignment to over 1000 primary, middle, high and higher secondary schools under 37 subdivisions across 11 districts, informed Nagaland Post that distribution of the textbooks would commence on Monday, with schools in Mon and other eastern parts being accorded priority.

On Thursday, a twomember team consisting of NSF general secretary Imtiyapang Imsong and information and publicity secretary Shilukaba Longchar inspected the godown where

the books had been kept.

The duo appealed to the official in-charge to ensure that efforts were made from the SDO level to make sure that textbooks reached students at the earliest, while also thanking the education department for arrival of the consignment on time.

Takowati informed this reporter that the transportation of consignments by trains and trucks took around 8 to 15 days to reach Dimapur. He said, as per the agreement in the work

order, publishers often did not specify details of the SDOs on the parcel.

This year though, the godown in-charge called the publishers from Delhi to ensure that details of the SDOs were mentioned in the parcel. Only after doing so, the textbooks could be arranged district-wise. Around 40% of the consignment is meant for Dimapur, he added.

When asked how teachers and students, particularly in remote parts of the State, coped with textbooks reaching them late, the language officer said the teachers would collect textbooks at the end of academic session and use them for the next session.

He, however, expressed immense satisfaction with the textbooks arriving on time this time and hoped that students would be able to use brand new textbooks by the time the classes start.

elections, he reminded his party men that there was no place for complacency “but be ready to move out any time when necessary directives are issued by the central office in due course of time”.

In his address, NPF Legislature Party leader TR Zeliang stressed on Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, reiterating that Inner Line Permit (ILP) was only related to providing access to outsiders for inward travel into North-eastern States and did not touch upon the subject of granting citizenship to a foreigner who had resided in India for a certain period of time, which would now be six years if the Bill was passed in (Cont’d on p-7) Parliament.

India on brink of communal violence before LS polls: US NEW DELHI, JAN 31 (AGENCIES): There is a strong possibility of communal violence in India if the ruling BJP stresses on Hindu nationalist themes in the run up to the general election, America’s top spymaster told US lawmakers.

This comment on the upcoming general election in India is part of the US intelligence community’s assessment of worldwide threats in the year 2019.

The assessment was presented in the form of a written document to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence by Dan Coats, Director of National Intelligence.

“Parliamentary elections in India increase the possibility of communal violence if Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s BJP stresses Hindu nationalist themes,” Coats told members of the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

Coats made this assessment with the assistance of a few other prominent members, including CIA Director Gina Haspel, who has just returned from a trip to India, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Defense Intelligence Agency Director Robert Ashley. “BJP policies during Modi’s first term have deepened communal tensions in some BJP-governed states...,” Coats said in his written statement.

“If the proposed amendment Bill goes against the interest of the Nagas, the government will oppose it,” he asserted.

Patton said the consultative meet was called to gather different shades of opinions on CAB and assured that the PDA government would continue to take measures to further strengthen rights and interest of the people.

BJP State president Imna Along, who is also a minister in Rio cabinet, endorsed the State cabinet’s decision of January 18 opposing CAB. Being a Naga, he said he understood concerns of the Nagas and endorsed the stand of the Naga people not to accept the Bill in its present form.

IT department launches campaign

DIMAPUR: A dedicated publicity campaign to create public awareness was launched on January 26 by the Income Tax (IT) Department, North East Region (NER). It intends to create awareness regarding income tax obligations of people in the region through hoardings, standees, and video clips.

Deputy commissioner of income tax, Dimapur, Vinikupu H. Arkha, in a press release stated that there is a general incorrect impression that all incomes of tribal persons/non-individuals, such as partner-

ships, LLPs, companies etc., are exempt from taxes.

It explained that incomes of all entities other than individuals, and incomes of tribal persons outside scheduled areas, are subject to Income Tax. Only the income earned in scheduled areas by tribal persons are exempt.

The campaign also aims at highlighting various new provisions prohibiting certain types of transactions, particularly cash transactions, which attract stiff penalties.

The press release also mentioned the Benami

Transactions (Prohibition) Amendment Act, 2016 which imposes obligations on taxpayers and others to not indulge in certain types of transactions and to report such transactions. “There are serious penal and prosecution consequences for entering into such transactions,” it said.

The campaign seeks to spread awareness about such laws and prohibitions and obligations.

This is for the first time that such dedicated campaign has been launched in NER for the benefit of tax payers in the Region.

The result is internet shutdown, he added.

can cause huge damages and the resulting internet shutdown will handicap functionaries. Tandon advocated for educating the younger generations on such matters so that they may be aware of its threats.

The seminar covered

that imparting the knowledge of cyber laws was of paramount importance. To parents, Tandon said “Don’t give your phone to a kid as a toy but as technology”.

Speaking on Alexa, a virtual assistant developed

by Amazon, he said some children do not talk to their parents but use Alexa to interpret their emotions. “This is the future generations of artificial intelligence” he said. He then spoke about teaching children the difference between fake and real.

Tandon also cautioned girls against sharing photos and information on social networking sites. “Smart phones have no privacy as everything is saved in the Google cloud or iCloud” he explained.

In his talk, Tandon also dwelt on fake profiles, misuse of public pages, and defamatory posts, as some of the major issues for teenagers. He demonstrated some preventive measures against some online systems of fraud.

A session was also conducted on the use of educational application software for enhancing learning in science and mathematics.

‘Don’t give your phone to a kid as a toy but as technology’ cyber fraud such as fake profiles, cyber bullying, piracy, defamation, pornography, cyber stalking, hacking etc for the teaching staff and principals attending the event.

He asked the teachers if they were taught about cyber laws in the school. On receiving a negative response, he was emphatic in saying

IMPHAL, Jan 31: Normal life was hit in several parts Manipur Thursday following a 24-hour general strike called jointly by over 72 civil society organisations against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill.

The general strike was total in Imphal, the capital city of the state where not a single shop including pharmacy opened for the day.

Except a very few private vehicles, medical and other essential services, no commercial vehicle was seen plying on the city streets.

including state secretariat which remained open wore a deserted look.

Almost all the financial institutions including banks remained close for the day.

During the day, antiCitizenship (Amendment) Bill protestors came out on the streets and shouted slogans demanding immediate withdrawal of the controversial bill. The protestors also shouted anti-BJP government slogans.

Similar situation of evoking massive response to the strike was reported from other valley districts

tant business and market places remained close for the day.

A t va r i o u s p l a c e s where sit-in-protests were staged, effigies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union home minister Rajnath Singh and state chief minister N Biren Singh were burnt.

In Imphal’s Hatta Golapati, protestors burnt the effigy of state chief minister N Biren Singh while alleging that he was double standard on his stand on the controversial bill.

While demanding his

resignation as chief minister of the state, protestors shouted slogans like “down down BJP governments”.

At Yairipok in Thoubal district, a strong police team foiled protestors from hanging an effigy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

A large number of womenfolk also stormed the residence of state deputy chief minister Y Joykumar and health and family welfare minister L Jayentakumar in Imphal’s Uripok and Keishamthong respectively.

However, no major untoward incident related with the general strike was reported from anywhere, a police source said.

Manipur People Against Citizenship Amendment Bill (MANPAC) gave the 24-hour state wide general strike call as a warning to the Central and state governments to withdraw the contentious CAB before introducing it in the Rajya Sabha.

Meanwhile, leaders and workers of nine political parties also carried out an anti-CAB rally in Imphal on Thursday.

The slogan chanting rally organised by nine political parties - CPI, CPI(M), RSP, FB, AAP, NCP, PRJA, BSP and JD(S)- originated from Imphal Irabot Bhavan and proceeded towards the western gate of Kangla fort along the BT road.

(IANS): Brushing aside talks of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, putting the BJP on the backfoot in the northeast, Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb on Wednesday alleged that some organisations “lacking in any support base” were misleading people on the issue for “personal gains”.

Deb said claims about the BJP being defensive on the issue was “complete falsehood and baseless”.

“The claim that the BJP is on the backfoot in the northeastern region because of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill is a complete falsehood and baseless.

“Had there been turmoil in the region on the bill... then the BJP would not have won the autonomous council elections in Assam. This shows people are with us,” Deb told mediapersons here.

Deb was referring to the BJP bagging 19 of the 28 seats in the North Cachar Hills Autonomous Council elections (in Assam) held on January 19, days after the protests over the bill.

“The organisations which lack any support base in the region are protesting.

They are misleading the people by trying to portray the northeast as a troubled region. We will see to it that they don’t succeed.”

On the BJP’s allies in the region opposing the bill, Deb said all parties had their own policy.

“The youth is moving away from the agriculture sector as it is becoming less remunerative and moving to urban areas. On the sectoral front, construction sector, which was one of the biggest employers in urban areas, witnessed a major turmoil in the sector,” the news agency quoted Madan Sabnavis, chief economist at Care Ratings as saying.

In a similar trend, the labour force participating rate (LFPR) --the portion of the population working or seeking job -declined from 36.9 per cent in 2017-18 as against 39.5 per cent in 201112. The NSSO report on job data has been at the centre of much controversy after two non-governmental members of the National Statistical Commission (NSC), PC Mohanan and JV Meenakshi, stepped down on Monday amid ‘disagreements’ with the government over the functioning of the commission. “We have resigned from the NSC. Over the months, we have been feeling that we were not been taken seriously and being sidelined by the government. Recent decisions of the NSC were not being implemented,” PC Mohanan told the leading daily.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi with others leaders at an all party meeting for the Budget session, in New Delhi, Thursday. (PIB) to opposition parties, Modi said lies were being spread outside against the government and they should be exposed, the leader added.

An official statement quoting the prime minister’s remarks at the all-party meeting said, “The government’s focus is on issues of national importance and finding solutions to problems of the people. The country expects from all of us to perform our duties as parliamentarians in a positive manner and we must

deliver to people’s expectations.”

Azad said the government should take up only those bills for passage on which there is a consensus among all parties.

It will be difficult for Parliament to function if the government pushes controversial bills, he said.

He was apparently referring to the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, which seeks to grant citizenship to persecuted minorities from come neighbouring

countries, and the triple talaq bill, which envisages imprisonment for Muslim men accused of instance divorce. Trinamool Congress leader Derek O’Brien echoed similar views and also accused the government of misusing investigation agencies like the CBI to settle political scores.

The government had found an ally in the CBI before the Lok Sabha elections, he told reporters.

Azad added that opposition parties will raise the issues of unemployment, price rise, agrarian distress and woman safety in the session, which ends on February 13.

Sources said BJP ally and Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan in the ruling National Democratic Alliance meeting spoke about concerns over the citizenship bill. NDA huddle followed a meeting of the BJP parliamentary party executive.

(From p-1)

He further informed the House that BJP Nagaland unit had convened a meeting on February 2 to deliberate on the issue.

Imna said a party representative would be sent to New Delhi for giving suggestions to party’s central leaders on safeguarding rights of the Nagas and other Northeastern people. He was optimistic that leaders at Delhi had noticed the concern of the people of the region.

Representatives from ENPO, ENPO, NSF, ENSF, NMA, NUTA, APO, Ao Senden, Chakesang Public Organisation, Chang Tribal Council, Lotha Hoho, Phom People’s Council, Pochury Hoho, Sumi Hoho, United Sangtam Likhum Pumji, Yimchunger Tribal Council and Zeliang People’s Organisation who participated in the meeting expressed their opposition to implementation of CAB in Nagaland. Political parties, including BJP, NDPP, NPP, JDU and NCP, too declared their opposition to the Bill.

Minister Neiba Kronu and retired bureaucrat HK Khulu also spoke at the meeting.

Sex ratio decline: NHRC calls for report from Centre, states NEW DELHI, JAN 31 (PTI): Expressing concern over the reported decline of the sex ratio at birth across the country, the NHRC has sought a report from the WCD Ministry and chief secretaries of all the states and UTs on the status of implementation of the various welfare schemes on the issue.

According to an official statement, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has also invited comments from the state gover nments and UT’s along with their suggestions to improve the sex ratio at birth besides sharing of best practices for proper reporting and registration

of births.

The commission has taken a serious note of media reports that have raised the issue of abysmal sex ratio across the country, especially in the southern states.

The statement said as per a news report, the data collated by the Office of the Registrar General of India from the Civil Registration System (CRS) reveals that in 2016 Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan had the worst sex ratio at birth (SRB) of 806.

Tamil Nadu, which had sex ratio of 935 in 2007, came down to 840 compared to the all India figure of 877.

Karnataka, as mentioned in the news report,

has fallen from 1,004 to 896 and Telengana stands at 881.

The commission has further observed that it is aware that the central as well as state governments have announced and implemented various schemes to create awareness among the general public to save the girl child and improve the gender equation but the data reflected in the instant news report gives a different picture.

“If the data reflected in the news report is correct, it seriously affects gender equality besides the fact that the Constitution of India prohibits discrimination in any form, including sex,

which ultimately violates human rights of the weaker sections of the society i.e. girl and women and, therefore, there is a need for immediate attention and action by the Union as well as state governments,” the statement said.

According to the media report, published on January 20, most of the states have achieved near 100 per cent registration of births, hence, it cannot be said that all the cases of birth of girl children are not being reported.

NEW DELHI, JAN 31 (PTI): With the government set to push for the passage of the contentious citizenship and triple talaq bills in Parliament’s budget session, the Opposition Thursday made it clear that it will not allow so and asked the ruling dispensation to take up only “non-controversial” legislations.

In an all-party meeting, Prime Minister Narendra Modi put to rest speculation about the likelihood of the government presenting a full budget, saying only an interim budget will be tabled in the Lok Sabha on Friday, Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad told reporters.

In a separate discussion with key members of the ruling BJP and its allies, Modi asked them to present the government’s achievements and views emphatically in and outside Parliament, a leader, who attended the meeting, said.

CBI interim chief’s appointment row: Justice Ramana recuses Bench led by Justice Mishra to hear plea NEW DELHI, JAN 31 (PTI): The Supreme Court Thursday set up a fresh bench headed by Justice Arun Mishra to hear a petition challenging the Centre’s decision to appoint M Nageswara Rao as interim CBI Director after Justice N V Ramana recused himself from hearing it citing social reasons.

Justice Ramana expressed his disinclination to hear the matter saying he belongs to Andhra Pradesh, from where Rao hails, and had attended the wedding of the IPS officer’s daughter who is married to an advocate known to him.

He became the third judge of the apex court to recuse himself from hearing the matter after Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi and the second senior-most judge in the top court Justice A K Sikri.

Both had recused them-

selves earlier from adjudicating the case.

The matter would now come up for hearing on Friday before a bench, also comprising Justice Navin Sinha.

Justice Mishra is number five in seniority among the judges of apex court after the CJI and Justices Sikri, S A Bobde and Ramana.

Hearing of the matter

by Justice Mishra assumes significance as he authored a recent judgement in which he came down heavily on a section of lawyers, who criticise judges in the media and attribute “political colour” to judgements.

Justice Mishra was also the target of some activist lawyers when he was dealing with some sensitive matter assigned to him by the then Chief Justice of India. Sources said he had protested in the meeting of apex court judges after the case handled by him was mentioned at the January 12, 2018 press conference by the four judges includ-

ing the present CJI Ranjan Gogoi.

The plea filed by NGO Common Cause, which has challenged Rao’s appointment as interim CBI Director, came up for hearing on Thursday before a bench comprising Justices N V Ramana, M M Shantanagoudar and Indira Banerjee.

“I am recusing myself because I know him (Rao) as he is from my home state,” Justice Ramana said.

Senior advocate Dushyant Dave, appearing for the NGO, said, “Should I go to the Delhi High Court?

Every judge in the Supreme Court is recusing himself from hearing the matter.”

To this, Justice Ramana observed, “If the issue was not about M Nageswara Rao, I would have heard it. I had attended his (Rao) daughter’s marriage.

His (Rao) son-in-law is a practising advocate. I know him also.”

Dave then urged the bench that the matter should be listed before another bench on Friday.

REJOINDER TO PRESS RELEASE DATED JANUARY 22ND AND 23RD 2019

The murder of my father Kevi Zakiesato is being investigated by the police. I have faith in the police and I hope that those responsible will be identified and brought to book. Recently on 22nd and 23rd January 2019, the Hiekhanomia Clan (my clan) has issued a press release against my mother. As the heir of my late father, I appreciate the concerns expressed. However, I request everyone, including the clan not to interfere in the affairs of my family.

Disturbing trends

t is unheard of and rather unthinkable but true, that a government is manipulating data methodology to its advantage and if it cannot manipulate, then it will ensure that uncomfortable data is not made available. The data methodology wherein the government has manipulated GDP data of previous years was a desperate attempt to undermine India’s growth for the past one and half decades (NDA-I and UPA I & II). The government lowered the country’s economic growth rate during the previous Congress-led UPA regime, shaving off over one percentage point from the only year when India posted double-digit GDP growth post liberalisation and from each of the three years with 9-plus per cent expansion. The NDA-II government under Modi has been accused of surreptitiously changing the methodology in order to manipulate GDP data. Some even described this methodology as “Excel Sheet Management” where the results are first decided and then the marks are filled in later to supplement the desired result. This methodology is also Gross Value Added(GVA) based but takes no account of tax and subsidies and consequently, flawed to sub serve the myopic interests of the government. The logic is one has to go down for the other to come up. Interestingly, Niti Aayog had released the back series of GDP using the new methodology adopted by the governmentfriendly Central Statistical Office (CSO) in 2015.

The revised data is so transparently laughable that it has already attracted accusations of data manipulation by independent experts. The new methodology incorporated more data on corporate activity while spending patterns of households and the informal economy were captured by more recent surveys. The results revealed that in 201314, GDP growth under the old methodology was 4.7 per cent. Under the new methodology, GDP growth shot up to 6.9 per cent (later revised down to 6.4 per cent). However, when the data was released by National Statistical Commission (NSC), it showed that the growth under UPA was around 10%. The CSO-released data shows that growth under the UPA was lower than what was presented by the NSC committee as well as that under the old methodology. This is the latest example of the Modi government’s disdain for India’s institutions and the government’s penchant to put party interests over the national interest. Any future government has to take set up an independent institution of commission of experts having no political colour to carefully examine the GDP back series to bring back credibility to India’s economic data and restore trust in our policymaking. The present government is one of the most offensive and having scant regard to the memory of past leaders by belittling their contributions to the nation. Among the most unbelievable and insulting accusations made was the narrative that nothing happened in India in 70 years of India’s history after independence, till Narendra Modi came along. This is patently false and harmful to the nation. The government has spent around Rs.5000 crore of tax payer’s money on propaganda advertisements till 2018 as per RTI reply. The achievements so claimed are contestable, be it roads, welfare schemes or economy. However, the achievement in spreading communal hatred, branding and labelling cannot be challenged.

DailyDevotion Do You See Your Calling? …separated to the gospel of God… —Romans 1:1 Our calling is not primarily to be holy men and women, but to be proclaimers of the gospel of God. The one all-important thing is that the gospel of God should be recognized as the abiding reality. Reality is not human goodness, or holiness, or heaven, or hell— it is redemption. The need to perceive this is the most vital need of the Christian worker today. As workers, we have to get used to the revelation that redemption is the only reality. Personal holiness is an effect of redemption, not the cause of it. If we place our faith in human goodness we will go under when testing comes.

Paul did not say that he separated himself, but “when it pleased God, who separated me…” (Galatians 1:15). Paul was not overly interested in his own character. And as long as our eyes are focused on our own personal holiness, we will never even get close to the full reality of redemption. Christian workers fail because they place their desire for their own holiness above their desire to know God. “Don’t ask me to be confronted with the strong reality of redemption on behalf of the filth of human life surrounding me today; what I want is anything God can do for me to make me more desirable in my own eyes.” To talk that way is a sign that the reality of the gospel of God has not begun to touch me. There is no reckless abandon to God in that. God cannot deliver me while my interest is merely in my own character.

Paul was not conscious of himself. He was recklessly abandoned, totally surrendered, and separated by God for one purpose— to proclaim the gospel of God (see Romans 9:3).

Post-mortem

Speech of Rh. Raising on 40th NSCN Day, January 31, 2019

I

give my revolutionary salute to all the martyrs. Greetings to you all in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

It is imperative for every member of NSCN to understand thepolitical concept that inspires and guides the Nagas in theirnational resistance movement and how it has brought themthis far. Our political concept begins from our uniquehistory. Our history is unique because the Nagas have been asovereign independent people from the very beginning ofworld history. Our history is unique as we haveneither been a part of Union of India nor that of Myanmar,either by conquest of the two powers or by consent of theNagas.

Principles-the foundation of our nationhood: NSCN understands that everything comes and exists on itsown principle and nothing exists outside it.NSCN was built on the foundation of Naga national principles. And the objectives of Manifesto of the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN) is mainly to safeguard and maintain the fundamental principles of sovereign independent Christian socialist democratic republic of Nagalim founded on the solid ground of our centuries-old social system and modern socio-political scenario.NSCN understands that as everything comes and exists on its principle, so do thepeoples and nations. Sovereignty is not something to beborrowed from or granted by others, but it is an inherentright of every people.

We should be aware of the fact that sovereignty has the power to make and unmake things.The Naga people are also a sovereign peopleby right. The Nagas must be able to exercise their sovereign rights independent of others, so that they may grow into thefullest human size and develop materially in all fields.

Physical, mental and spiritual developments of free individuals or free people are chiefly driven by the dynamicspirit of right to self-determination, not dependent onothers. Exercise of one’s sovereign power independent of others through the spirit of self-determination is an inbuiltand this is the principle of survival politics.

T

Policy and strategy: Principles do not go alone; they always go along with policy, program and strategy. Targets are naturally materializedthrough objective-based policies and strategies of thecommitted leadership of an organization or government.Victory of any battle - military, political or economy,depends on correct policy, correct strategy and correctleadership. Our policies are national salvation-oriented.

Thesole purposes of our strategies are how to safeguard oursovereign rights, our land, our identity, our history and above all our people from the dangers of subjugation, suppressionand assimilation by aggressors of any forms. Any organizationor government that does not have objective-based policiesand strategies often meets defeat and failure. Policies andstrategies of NSCN are always visible in action and it is not something that exists in imagination.

Nagalim for Christ: It is said, “The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness; theworld and those who dwell therein.” It is also said, “All thingsare created through Him and for Him.” Accept it or not, allpeoples and nations without exception belong to Him. It is amatter of time - who comes first and who comes last to theLord, the Creator. It is understood that all nations andkingdoms comes from the word of God and nothing exists outsideit. Nagas are also the Lord’s people. Nagalim for Christ is aCovenant of God with the Nagas and commitment of theNagas to Him. It is one of the guiding principles of the Nagas.

The power of prayer: NSCN trusts in the power of prayer. We are fully convinced ofthe invincible power of prayer that works in the militaryfront, political front, financial front, negotiating front and inall fronts.

Our trust comes from the marvelous name of ourLord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Creator of all things. Prayercan make and unmake things. Every member of NSCN shouldto be a praying man or woman. Prayer is a dynamic force ofthe believers, and not superstition of the feeble mind as allegedby the materialists. Prayer connects with the mighty powerhouse of God.

Nagas are a communityoriented society: Nagas are a community-oriented people.

They walk togetherin all fields in the spirit of community. Their land holding system is such that there are private lands, clans’ landsand community’s lands.

NSCN understands it is the spirit ofour land, our people, our community and our nation thatsustains the Nagas this far.

The day they drop this social spirit,they will fall apart into many pieces to be subdued by others.Democracy is the sociopolitical institution of human being. Itis the soul of social life.

Nagas are also a democratic people.For them,democracy is not an imported concept fromoutside. Every social activity of the Naga community is doneby social consent, the essence of democracy. No law is madeor passed autocratically by any authority or authoritieswithout consent of the people.

NSCN is for a democraticsocial set-up. NSCN has been practicing the culture ofcollective decision making since its inception.

All socialproblems are solved through discussion and consent.

Nagasare bound together by the cords of the socio-political andeconomic spirits. NSCN upholds the spirit and culture of thecommunity-oriented society and it will do so in all times tocome.

Sovereign state: NSCN cannot think of a developed Nagalim without asovereign state. Sovereign state is a giant machine that canmake and unmake things except man.

Mankind has beencombatting nature for centuries to subduing it through thestate. In fact, man has now become the master of the land,the air, the sea and the planets. Peace and progress in theland without a sovereign government and state is a wishfulthinking. We may be rich; we may be educated or we may bein high social position, but we will be reduced to a hopelessand helpless people or individuals without identity if ourNaga national identity is not recognized by the aggressor statesand the world.We may be brave and strong in many ways; we may be wiseor we may be as numerous as the sand, but we can never subdue nature if we are not organized into a state.

We must try to conquer nature through the power of a sovereign state and develop our country through it. The Lord says, “I have put everything under the feet of man.” Indeed, the Nagas need a sovereign state. And that is where NSCNstands today.

Framework Agreement: The Naga people have come to know the deception of highsounding promises of the aggressor states. They haverealized that they are not safe in the so-called 16-pointAgreement, TheShillong Accord or in any other so-calledstates under Indian constitution. Therefore, they continuetheir resistance movement in defense of their future. Everymember of NSCN was a fighting force in the time of war. WeNSCN fought the enemies in the military front; we did ourbest in mobilizing the world on Naga issue in theinternational arena; our administration embraces all Nagasand their territories. But confrontation cannot go on and on without giving chance to negotiation. We must have dialogue with the Government of India. The Nagas need agreements with the Government of India and the Government of Myanmar that will recognize our unique history, sovereignty, land, identity, culture and theirstate. After having series of political talks with theGovernment of India, the two parties have finally signed thehistoric Framework Agreement on 3rd of August 2015, on thebasis of unique history and situation of the Nagas. Amongothers, it speaks about the Naga sovereignty, identity andterritories.

However, Nagas and Indians will peacefully andharmoniously co-exist as two entities sharing sovereignpowers. The Framework Agreement is the foundation forfinal settlement.

Inf lux of illegal immigrants and refugees: History says illegal immigrants and refugees are agents ofcolonial powers. We must know how they were used by thecolonial powers in the past in colonizing other peoples’ landsand how many indigenous peoples and nations weremarginalized and swallowed up by the colonial powersthrough immigrant and refugee politics. The governments ofIndia and Myanmar

are playing the same game. The specter of theillegal immigrants and refugees is already looming large in ourcountry. Rohingya refugees and illegal Chin - Kuki immigrants and refugees from Myanmar; a large number of Chakmarefugees and illegal Muslim immigrants from Bangladesh and illegal settlers and non-indigenous people from the Indiansub-continent have flooded the Naga country. They are like timebombs waiting to explode one day or the other if we do nottake necessary steps to deal with it in the right time.

Weneed agreements with the governments of India andMyanmar and strong laws should be enacted to protect our people, our identity, our rights and our land from these impending dangers.

Virus of divisionism: The virus of divisionism and factionalism will eat into the vitality of the issue of sovereign independent Nagalim if wedo not give the right treatment to it before it is too late. There is no doubt about it that the objective of mushroomgrowth of factions is nothing, but to pull back the wheels ofhistory. No one should nourish the false hope of building a sovereign independent state out of the debris of brokenNagalim. That will never happen.

That is what the enemieshave been looking for. When NSCN says Nagalim, it embracesall Nagas and their territories. The Government of India toohas recognized that reality. We must value what we have achieved.

Doctrine of co-existence of peoples and nations: All things are so created by the Lord that they are closely interrelated and interdependent on each other and that nothing exists in total isolation. NSCN stands for the doctrineof harmonious interdependent relationship with otherpeoples and nations in all fields. Coexistence with others onthe basis of mutual respect and recognition of rights andidentities is the law. Maintaining harmonious relationshipswith others is a political necessity, not a choice. NSCN looksforward to having good relationships with our neighbors onthe basis of this principle.

Long live NSCN! Long live Nagalim!

The mire of superstitious beliefs Sir,

Personally speaking, I commend Mr. Mody the Prime Minister of India for his boldness and large heartedness in his attempt to bring about reformation in the country. But whenever BJP takes over power, the hidden mire of superstitious beliefs starts appearing in the country which endangers the normal life of the people. Once the downfall of the Rule of BJP was caused by Tygi Bill for anti-conversion. Now under GHAR WAPSI 98 Christians were reconverted into Hinduism. This is a matter of conscience and belief.

So it is up to the people to decide. The Hindu leaders through whom reconversion took place are not to be blamed because it is only accountable to God, rather credit goes to them and in such incident, the people are not to be narrow enough to blame one another.

Regarding cow slaughter, beef is a normal diet all over the world. We have to be humane to all animals and not to be inhumane to human beings. But intolerance is untethered under BJP rule and prohibited of cow slaughter is legislated in some states and violence is inflicted on fellow country men for killing cow for normal meat. It is a wild behaviour which cannot be expected in a civilised country. All such wild behaviours are the outcome of superstitious beliefs.

Modi govt worked to NPF principle rooted in unique history of Nagas: Shurho build ‘New India’: Prez ing of desks by the treasury benches. “Through the surgical strike on cross border terror posts, India has shown its new policy and strategy,” the President said. Addressing problems faced by farmers, who, he called are the foundation of the economy, the President recounted the government’s commitment to doubling farmers’ income by 2022 and listed measures taken during its tenure.

“On behalf of this august House, I compliment our annadata farmers. My government is striving day and night to attain the goal of doubling farmers’ income. Understanding the needs of farmers, the government is seeking to find permanent solutions to their problems,” he said.

Touching upon the state of economy, Kovind said India’s contribution to global economy has increased from 2.6 per cent in 2014 to 3.3 per cent in 2017 on the back of high growth rate during the last four and a half years.

He said the country’s GDP has been growing at a rate of 7.3 per cent on an average, making India the sixth largest economy in the world, adding that this is an opportune moment for the country to play a decisive role in the fourth industrial revolution.

ty questioned the Centre of failing to bring about a solution to the protracted Naga political issue till date despite making a “democratic commitment—Election for Solution” to the Naga people in the recently concluded elections.

The party further took umbrage to the statement made by R.N. Ravi while commenting to the Naga issue—“surrender or fight to the finish”. It said such comment was unbecoming of him as he had been assigned to find solution and not to create problem.

The party also endorsed its president and leader of the NPF legislature party to take a call on the political re-alignment.

CEC also endorsed the president to constitute a committee to look into the bye-election for 26 Aonglenden A/C and also the forthcoming assembly and parliamentary elections in Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur (LS polls).

On the occasion, NPF, based on the October 9 2018 resolution of the CEC formally released the amended Constitution of the party.

M e a n w h i l e, C E C deeply condoled the demise of former union minister George Fernandes and recalled its association and fond memories while late Fernandes was active in politics.

Among them, the NPF reiterated its stand against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill and also resolved that the party Rajya Sabha MP, KG Kenye will vote against the Bill in the parliament in the event if the Bill is not withdrawn.

While upholding the decision of the core committee to boycott the January 31 consultative meeting, the NPF said the NDPP-led PDA government had no moral right to convene such meeting when it had not opposed the Bill while it was tabled in the Lok Sabha on January 8, clearly indicating that they had endorsed the Bill.

T h e c o n s u l t a t i ve meeting was nothing but an eye wash and to shift the blame to political parties and civil societies, NPF stated. It also warned that PDA government would be held responsible for any fallout on the Nagas due to the CAB 2016.

The party also reiterated its commitment on the ongoing peace process between government of India and various Naga political groups.

It also appreciated the NSCN (K) led by Khango Konyak for joining the peace process and further urged all other groups to be part of the peace process.

New India with no place for imperfect, corrupt and inertia ridden systems,” he said.

The President’s address, which reflects the government’s views, assumes significance as it comes just ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, expected to be held in April-May. In the last four and a half years, the government has infused new hope and confidence among the people of the country, enhanced the country’s image and has effectively brought in social and economic change, he said.

From day one, the gover nment’s mission, based on transparency, was to improve the lives of citizens, to eradicate their difficulties owing to poor governance, and to make sure that the benefit of public services reach the lowest strata of the society, he said. Referring to the controversial Rafale jet deal with France over which the Congress has targeted the government, Kovind said the Indian Air Force will welcome the ultra-modern fighter aircraft in the coming months to strengthen its strike capability after a gap of many decades.

The mention of Rafale as well as the 2016 ‘surgical strikes’ carried out on terror launch pads across the border was greeted by thump-

and exploration of petroleum and natural gas framed by the Nagaland government, in line with Article 371 (A), was under litigation, adding even the High Court’s interim order had clearly mentioned that State did not have the power as it was delegated to Parliament under Union list 1 entry 53. He questioned how one could be so sure that Article 371 (A) would protect citizens of Nagaland from influx of immigrants who would be granted Indian citizenship once the citizenship Bill became an Act. Zeliang said Neiphiu Rio’s cabinet had decided on June 5, 2018 and January 7 not to oppose the Bill. However, he pointed out that today it had suddenly taken a U-turn.

He reminded the gathering that the Bill was introduced in Lok Sabha in July 2016 when Rio was MP representing Nagaland and passed when Tokheho Yepthomi of NDPP represented the State.

He said the consultative meeting convened by the PDA government on Thursday was an eyewash and termed it an “information meet and not consultative meet”, and questioned why the government was inviting people after everything was done that could not be undone now.

Zeliang also highlighted the initiatives taken by

NEW DELHI, JAN 31 (PTI): Presenting key achievements of the Modi government ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, President Ram Nath Kovind Thursday asserted it has worked to build a “New India” after assuming power in 2014 and infused new hope when the nation was passing through “uncertain times”. Kickstarting the Budget Session of Parliament with an address to a joint sitting of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, Kovind also said the government is attempting to find “permanent solutions” for problems faced by farmers, amid speculation over an announcement of a farm relief package in the Interim Budget to be unveiled Friday.

During his over 60minute address in the Central Hall of Parliament, Kovind spoke on issues ranging from Rafale jet deal and 10 per cent reservation for the general category poor to the triple talaq legislation, the Citizenship Amendment Bill and the state of economy.

Kovind described the 10 per cent quota as historic.

“Prior to the 2014 General Election, the country was passing through a phase of uncertainty. After the elections, my government assumed charge and vowed to build a New India. A

(From p-1) He further pointed out that though ILP (Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation 1873), also known as regulation 5 of 1873, was in operation in Nagaland, there was a huge difference between the CAB and ILP– “acquiring citizenship of a particular country and obtaining permission for access to a particular region”.

Mentioning that Dimapur was not under the ambit of ILP regulations, Zeliang said undocumented immigrants, especially illegal Bangladeshi immigrants, had flooded the district and even in the most interior parts of the State.

“Going by this reality, we cannot wholly rely on BEFR or IPL regulations and to say that ILP safeguards the people from the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill is not acceptable,” he added.

He further restated that Article 371 (A) was not connected with the Bill and that there was no mention of citizenship in the Article.

He feared that after the Bill was passed in Rajya Sabha and became an Act, the hope of using Article 371 (A) as ammunition to oppose the Act would be a futile exercise.

New Delhi, Jan 31 (PTI): Eight core sectors grew at their slowest pace in 18 months at 2.6 per cent in December 2018 due to fall in output of crude oil, refinery products and fertilisers, official data showed Thursday.

The previous lowest expansion in output of these key industries was recorded in June 2017 at 1 per cent.

The growth rate of the eight infrastructure sectors -- coal, crude oil, natural gas, refinery products, fertilisers, steel, cement and electricity -- stood at 3.8 per cent in December 2017.

The US dollar weakened in overseas market after the Federal Reserve left the key US lending rate unchanged on Wednesday and said it would be “patient” about making any further changes.

Mumbai, Jan 31 (PTI): The Indian rupee Thursday edged higher by 4 paise to 71.08 against the US dollar amid weakness in the greenback in overseas markets after the US Fed kept interest rate unchanged.

Also, a massive rally in domestic equities lifted trading sentiment in forex market.

At the Interbank Foreign Exchange, the Indian currency opened significantly higher but erased the morning gains during the course of the day due to month-end dollar demand from oil importers and shed 22 paise from the day’s high.

After opening on a firm note at 70.92, the rupee climbed further to a high of 70.86 following dollar selling by exporters, before finally closing at 71.08, up 4 paise.

The rupee had Wednesday ended with just 1 paisa loss at 71.12 a dollar.

While weaker American currency and heavy buying in domestic equities supported the rupee trading pattern, surging crude oil prices and a caution ahead of Friday’s interim budget restricted the gains of the Indian unit. “...Fed chairman Jerome Powell suggested the pace of rate hikes will slow,” HDFC Securities Head PCG and Capital Markets Strategy V K Sharma said.

The CSO has also released the Second Revised Estimates of National Income, Consumption Expenditure, Saving and Capital Formation for 2016-17.

New Delhi, Jan 31 (PTI): GST collections in January crossed Rs 1 lakh crore-mark, after a gap of 2 months, the Finance Ministry said Thursday.

“The total gross GST Revenue collected in the month of January, 2019 has today crossed Rs 1 lakh crore. This has been a significant improvement over collection of Rs 94,725 crore during last month and Rs 89,825 crore during the same month last year,” the ministry tweeted.

This is the third time in current fiscal that GST (Goods and Services Tax) collections has crossed the Rs one lakh crore-mark.

Previously in April and October, the collections had surpassed this milestone.

GST collection stood at Rs 1.03 lakh crore in April, Rs 94,016 crore in May, Rs 95,610 crore in June, Rs 96,483 crore in July, Rs 93,960 crore in August, Rs 94,442 crore in September, Rs 1,00,710 crore in October, Rs 97,637 crore in November and Rs 94,725 crore in December 2018.

New Delhi, Jan 31 (PTI): The government Thursday revised the economic growth rate upwards to 7.2 per cent for 2017-18 from the 6.7 per cent estimated earlier, mainly driven by performance of farm sector.

For the current fiscal, in May, the CSO in its advance estimate had projected a growth rate of 7.2 per cent.

The 2017-18 growth is lowest in four years.

per cent in the previous fiscal.

During 2017-18, the GVA growth rates of primary (comprising agriculture, forestry, fishing and mining and quarrying), secondary (manufacturing, electricity, gas, water supply and other utility services, and construction) and tertiary (services) sectors have been estimated as 5 per cent, 6 per cent and 8.1 per cent as against a growth of 6.8 per cent, 7.5 per cent and 8.4 per cent, respectively, in the previous year.

As regards the per capita income, the CSO’s first revised estimate said it was Rs 1,04,659 and Rs 1,14,958 for 2016-17 and 2017-18, respectively.

Gross Capital Formation (GCF), a barometer of investment activities, at current prices has been estimated at Rs 55.27 lakh crore for 2017-18, compared to Rs 47.41 lakh crore during 2016-17.

Giving reasons for variations in growth figures between provisional estimates (released in May 2018) and first revised estimates of GVA, CSO said it is based on updated figures on new data related to crop production and financial data.

Britain, EU divided on Irish border issue

London, Jan 31 (IANS): British Prime Minister Theresa May and the main opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, have held their first face-to-face talks to discuss Brexit.

Hours after the two front bench politicians had clashed in the House of Commons over Brexit during Prime Minister’s Question, they held private talks at Westminster on Wednesday.

Media reports in London later said Corbyn told May it was not acceptable for May to keep a no-deal option on the table.

Corbyn had shunned talks with May earlier because she refused to rule out Britain leaving the European Union with no deal.

A spokesman for Corbyn said the two leaders had a serious exchange of views, exploring a customs union and a single market relationship, describing it as a very cordial meeting.

Both have agreed to further meetings.

May was buoyed by a majority vote in the House of Commons on Tuesday night, backing her Brexit deal if the so-called Irish border stopgap measure is removed.

Leave supporters get their message across near the Houses of Parliament in London

It puts her Brexit deal within grasp, if she can persuade EU leaders to agree to change their insistence on measures to prevent a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

The signs coming from Brussels on Wednesday did not give May any comfort that she was close to finally clinching a Brexit deal.

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker warned in that a no deal Brexit was more likely after British MPs voted to send May back to Brussels to renegotiate the Irish border backstop.

Juncker and the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator Mi-

chel Barnier both said in the European Parliament in Brussels that they would reject any British efforts to renegotiate the Irish border backstop.

Juncker told the European Parliament that Brexit was a bad decision, but he ruled out renegotiating the Irish backstop. He said, “The withdrawal agreement remains the best and only deal possible. The debate and votes in the House of Commons yesterday do not change that. The withdrawal agreement will not be renegotiated.”

May plans a series of meetings with politicians from her Conservative Party to consolidate the support

she received Tuesday night.

May now has several weeks to persuade the EU to change its mind on the Irish backstop arrangement.

If there is movement by the EU, May then hopes MPs will give their final agreement to a Brexit deal.

She is scheduled to present her new Brexit plan to the House of Commons mid-February. If MPs and the EU are in agreement the way will be clear for Britain to leave the bloc on March 29.

If May’s Brexit plan collapses, it opens up a box of alternatives, including Britain leaving on March 29 with no deal, a snap election or another confidence vote.

Maduro rejects calls for fresh elections

C a r a c a s, J a n 3 1 (IANS): Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro has dismissed calls for new presidential elections amid fresh protests against his leadership.

In an interview with a Russian news agency on Wednesday, Maduro said he was prepared to hold talks with the opposition.

“I am ready to sit down at the negotiating table with the opposition so that we could talk for the good of Venezuela,” he told Russian news agency RIA here.

But refused any chance of fresh polls, insisting his victory last spring had been legitimate, the BBC reported. Maduro said that if the US and others wanted a fresh vote, they would have to wait until 2025. He added that he was not prepared to accept ultimatums or blackmail, and insisted that he has the backing of Venezuela’s military, and accused deserters of conspiring to plot a coup. Although he

told RIA that he would support early parliamentary elections as “a good form of political discussion”.

Mexico pipeline blast toll reaches 118 Mexico City, Jan 31 (IANS): The death toll from the explosion of a gasoline pipeline in Mexico’s Hidalgo state, has increased to 118, an official said.

The toll was confirmed on Wednesday night by the IMSS public health service.

It said that 29 other people injured in the blast were still in hospitals.

The blast occurred the night of January 18, hours after hundreds of residents of the town of Tlahuelilpan gathered near a pipeline to collect fuel after thieves had drilled a hole in the duct.

Soldiers had arrived at the scene prior to the explosion but were unable to control the large crowd.

Stealing fuel from pipelines owned by state oil company Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex) and re-selling it on the black market has become a major criminal enterprise in Mexico.

This form of theft cost the country over $3 billion last year, according to official figures. The accident is one of the worst tragedies caused by pipeline explosions in Mexico in recent years.

U n i t e d Nat i o n s, Jan 31 (IANS): Pakistan has launched a strong attack on India’s quest for a permanent seat in the UN Security Council blaming it as the “primary stumbling block” for reforms.

Inter vening in the discussions on Council reforms on Wednesday, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative Maleeha Lodhi did not mention India by name but she criticized its suggestion to look for alternatives if the current negotiating process doesn’t make progress.

India’s Permanent Representative Syed Akbaruddin had said on Tuesday, “If despite our best efforts, credible progress evades us once again, then we should not shy away from reviewing how we engage on this very important issue.”

“We need to look at creative pathways to forge ahead,” he added at the meeting of the Intergovernmental Negotiations (IGN) on Council reforms.

in the IGN, it may be time to review the entire process with a view to pronounce on its fate.

“Those calling for a review of the IGN process, should instead review their own positions because the quest by some to gain permanent seats for themselves remains the primary stumbling block and this was clearly evident from our discussions, yesterday,” she said.

India, Brazil, Ger-

many and Japan are pursuing permanent seats for themselves, while African and Arab nations want representation in the ranks of permanent members.

After having already spoken at the IGN meeting on Tuesday, Lodhi took the floor again to make pointed attacks on India - as well as others sharing New Delhi’s positions on the reforms and the process for it.

She said: “As for the point raised by one distinguished colleague, none of the examples and landmark documents he cited involved an amendment of the UN Charter. That’s the fundamental difference between this IGN and other processes.”

“Any procedural manoeuvers are not only selfinhibiting, they are also counter-productive,” she added.

inger-composer Vishal Dadlani has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of lying for claiming that rapists are “hanged within three days, seven days, 11 days and a month” under his administration.

The Prime Minister

made the comment at a youth conclave in Surat on Wednesday.

Dadlani, who often criticises the Modi-led BJP, called it a “lie”.

“Lie. Name one rapist who has been hung in your term, Sir. Nirbhaya’s rapists, Asifa’s rapists, even Unnao child-rape-accused BJP MLA Sengar are still alive and well,” he tweeted on Thursday.

He also added that with growing artificial intelligence, bio technology, by 2050 the computer will be faster than a human brain.

roducer Ekta Kapoor has welcomed her first child, a boy, via surrogacy, says a media report. Bollywood celebrities like Nimrat Kaur and Hansal Mehta welcomed her to “parenthood”.

According to the report in Mumbai Mirror, she became a mother on January 27.

As soon as the news came out on Thursday, celebrities and fans took to Twitter to wish Ekta Kapoor for the new chapter in her life.

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta tweeted: “Many congratulations and lots of love dearest Ekta Kapoor.

erman hard rock legends SCORPIONS are preparing to record a “historic” new album with a “famous” producer, guitarist Rudolf Schenker has revealed.

The upcoming disc will mark the band’s first release since 2017’s “Born To Touch Your Feelings - Best Of Rock Ballads”, which was an anthology of SCORPIONS’ new and classic material.

SCORPIONS’ last full-length collection of new recordings was 2015’s “Return To Forever”, partially comprising songs the band had in the vault from the ‘80s.

It was the final recorded appearance of SCORPIONS’ longtime drummer James Kottak, who was dismissed from the band in September 2016.

He has since been replaced by Mikkey Dee, for merly of MOTÖRHEAD. In an interview with Headbangers Lifestyle conducted at the end of last year, Rudolf confirmed that SCORPIONS are planning to begin work on a new LP in the coming months.

“Why we have this idea of recording a new

album is because Mikkey became, let’s say, a great force for SCORPIONS,” he said.

“When we were fighting for a change and [trying to] get us back on track with the band, and it didn’t work, we found Mikkey.

Mikkey just fits perfectly into the chemistry of SCORPIONS. Plus, he is a very creative person.

That means we have now the chance to make an album that is special and fresh.

“Everybody in the band is now on leave and at home to celebrate the holidays with his family, until the New Year,” Rudolf continued.

“We will meet again in the New Year and every-

body will come and bring in ideas in the studio. We already found a producer to record with.

A famous and wellknown personality… No, I’m not gonna say who he is… really not! But we are all very excited to produce a new, historic rock ‘n’ roll album.”

SCORPIONS singer Klaus Meine recently said that the band is not opposed to making another studio album.

“I think we never would say no, because it’s so much in our veins to have this rhythm of touring, making records, being creative, going back into the studio,” he told SiriusXM’s Eddie Trunk.

Priyanka’s Hollywood film to get digital release in India

A

ctress Priyanka Chopra’s Hollywood film “Isn’t It Romantic” will release in India on streaming platform Netflix instead of having a traditional theatrical release.

According to a statement issued on Thursday, the romantic-comedy, also featuring Rebel Wilson, Liam Hemswor th and Adam Devine, will premiere on February 28 in India.

“Isn’t It Romantic” tells the story of a New

York architect Natalie (Wilson) who works hard to get noticed at her job, but is more likely to be asked to deliver coffee and bagels than to design.

Priyanka essays the role of a yoga ambassador.

“I had so much fun doing it,” Priyanka said while promoting her film on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” earlier this week.

“It was a quick, beautiful project to do, and I love Rebel.

This is her first time

producing, so that’s awesome. I would do anything to support that,” she added.

“Isn’t It Romantic” will release on all Netflix territories outside of the US and Canada -- where it will open in theatres.

Nantes pay emotional tribute to Sala NAN T E S , J a n 3 1 (Agencies): Emotions ran high as Nantes paid tribute to their former player Emiliano Sala on Wednesday in their first game since the Argentine went missing in a light aircraft over the English Channel.

Referee Frank Schneider stopped play in the Ligue 1 match against St Etienne at La Beaujoire in the ninth minute, in a possible reference to Sala’s shirt number, for a minute of applause during which Nantes coach Vahid Halilhodzic was in tears. The game ended in a 1-1 draw after Nantes’ Majeed Waris cancelled out Remy Ca-

bella’s second-half opener for St Etienne.

St Etienne are fourth in the table on 37 points from 22 games, while Nantes lie 14th on 24 points. Fans unveiled banners for Sala, most notably a giant Argentinian flag, and all of Nantes’ players had Sala’s name on the back of their shirt.

A portrait of Sala was unfolded in the centre circle as the players stepped onto the pitch with fans chanting their former striker’s name.

The Nantes players wore t-shirts saying ‘On t’aime Emi’ (We love you Emi), which they showed to the crowd after Waris scored in the 70th minute, and the St Etienne players had t-shirts

Lionel Messi in action during a Copa del Rey match between Barcelona and Sevilla.

Barcelona, Jan 31 (IANS): FC Barcelona hammered Sevilla 6-1 to win the Copa del Rey quarterfinal tie 6-3 on aggregate and keep alive their dream of hoisting the trophy for a fifth consecutive year.

Lionel Messi, who was absent for first leg, was in the line-up for the must win contest at Camp Nou. The tone was set by a pair of penalties 13 minutes apart at opposite ends.

While Philippe Coutinho easily converted in the 13th minute after Quincy Promes was cited for an innocent encounter with Messi, keeper Jasper Cillessen made a sensational stop to deny Sevilla’s Ever Banega from the spot in the 26th minute following Gerard Pique’s clear cut foul on Roque Mesa.

The hosts also benefited from a lacklustre performance by visiting keeper Juan Soriano, whose mistaken decision to come off his line set up an easy goal for Ivan Rakitic in the 31st minute to tie the overall score at 2-2.

The defending champi-

ons maintained the frenetic tempo in the second half and Coutinho scored in the 53rd minute, getting his head to a Luis Suarez cross.

Before Sevilla could react, Sergi Roberto made it 4-0 (4-2) a minute later with an assist from Messi. And Coutinho was ready to celebrate a hat trick in the 64th minute, but his goal was disallowed for an offside.

Despite the lead, Barcelona wanted more goals and their ambition on the attack created space at the back. A poor clearance

by Cillessen allowed Guilherme Arana to claw back a goal for Sevilla in the 67th minute.

But just as Barça seemed to be in trouble, Suarez and Messi produced goals a minute apart to seal the victory.

New Zealand thrash India in 4th ODI

Hamilton, Jan 31 ( IAN S ) : Pa c e r Tr e n t Boult’s carnage with the ball helped New Zealand outsmart India by eight wickets in the fourth and penultimate One Day International match here on Thursday.

Although the hosts had already lost the five match ODI rubber but this moral boosting victory over the visitors in under threeand-half hours, might help New Zealand in the preparations for the ICC Cricket World Cup. Electing to field, Boult’s five wicket haul and Colin de Grandhomme disciplined bowling wrecked havoc on India’s batting line-up to bowled them out for 92 and then batters applied themselves

to overhaul the target in just 14.4 overs.

Boult’s 5/21, his fifth five wicket haul, is the second best figures for New Zealand against India in the limited overs format.

Previously it was pacer Shane Bond (6/19) in 2005 in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.

Chasing 92 runs, New Zealand lost their first wicket in the fourth delivery of their innings. Martin Guptill (14) slammed two boundaries and one six in his four ball stay. Pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar dismissed the New Zealand opener.

Kane Williamson (11), who seemed good in the middle was next to depart.

Thanks to Bhuvneshwar’s brilliant delivery which found the edge of Wil-

liamson’s bat and landed in wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik’s gloves. He was dismissed in the seventh over when the scoreboard read 39.

Henry Nicholas (30 not out) and veteran batsman Ross Taylor (37 not out) then applied themselves perfectly and completed the proceeding with ease.

Despite having a long batting line-up, India failed drastically as only two batsmen -- Shikhar Dhawan (13) and Hardik Pandya (16) -- only managed to have a double-digit score.

Towards the end when India were reeling at 55/8, chinaman Kuldeep Yadav (15) and leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal (18 not out) forged a small but crucial

25- runt partnership to help India reach 80 runs.

Chahal was also the highest scorer for India.

Put in to bat openers Dhawan and Rohit Sharma (7) started the proceeding on a positive note, forging a 21 run stand before Dhawan was dismissed by Boult in the sixth over.

Fr o m t h a t p o i n t , Boult’s carnage began. In the very next over, skipper Rohit was also sent packing by the pacer. Rohit played 23 balls and got caught and bowled.

Middle-order batsmen Ambati Rayudu (0) Dinesh Karthik (0) and Kedar Jadhav (1) were dismissed by Grandhomme and Boult.

Debutant Shubman Gill (9) also failed to live up to the expectations as the youngster got caught and bowled by Boult.

Hardik, however tried to stabilise things in the middle with the lower order batsmen but in the process he was sent back to the pavilion in the 20th over.

Kuldeep, Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1), Chahal and Khaleel Ahmed (5), then tried to help India get past 100 run mark but failed in doing so and as a result the visitors were bowled out in just 30.5 overs overs.

Brief Scores: India 92/10 (Yuzvendra Chahal 18 not out, Hardik Pandya 16; Trent Boult 5/21) against New Zealand: 93/2 (Ross Taylor 37 not out; bhuvneshwar Kumar 2/25)

PSG planning late bid for Chelsea’s Willian Paris, Jan 31 (Agencies): Paris Saint-Germain are planning to make a late Deadline Day bid for Chelsea winger Willian.

The Ligue 1 champions are chasing a replacement for Neymar, after it was confirmed on Wednesday that the forward would be out for three months with a metatarsal injury and will miss both legs of their Champions League last-16 meeting with Manchester United.

Willian has also been of interest to Barcelona this month, as well as being linked with a move to China.

The 30-year-old has 18 months left remaining on his current contract, but the club remain adamant he is not for sale as they battle for a top-four finish in the Premier League.

Chelsea are also determined to keep hold of young winger Callum Hudson-Odoi and have turned down a transfer request from the 18-year-old, amid rejected bids from Bayern Munich.

The club will welcome Christian Pulisic from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, but it is also expected that Real Madrid will renew their interest in Eden Hazard at the end of the season, which could leave them short in wide areas.

Headhunters, Forest FC win Chelsea slip to 5th after 4-0 loss to Bournemouth

Players of Headhunters (orange) and Friends Club in action during their match at local ground, Wokha on Thursday.

D i m a p u r , Ja n 3 1 (NPN): Headhunters 164 TA and Forest FC registered wins at the ongoing 9th Lotha Football Championship, organised

by Wokha District Football Association, at local ground, Wokha.

Headhunters 164 TA defeated Friends Club by 4-0. Chingsha of Headhunters became the second player to score a hat-trick in the championship. His

goals came in the 22nd, 50th and 60th minutes of the game.

L o c a l f av o u r i t e s Vungotchu Football Club came from behind to draw NRSA 1-1. NRSA took the lead when Aloumai found the net in the 19th minute.

However, Yiben scored in the 42nd minute to level the match 1-1.

In the third match, Forest FC beat three times champions Bonnie Club

2-1. Yanbo and Oponthung scored for Forest FC in the 25th and 50th minute respectively.

The match between WRSU Wozhuro and United Boys ended in 1-1 draw.

Alamo found the lead for United Boys in the 31st minute. Mhonchan found the equalizer for WRSU in the 49th minute.

Lo n d o n, Ja n 3 1 (Agencies): Chelsea’s top-four hopes suffered a huge dent as Maurizio Sarri’s side collapsed to a humiliating 4-0 defeat at mid-table Bournemouth on Wednesday, a result that dropped them down to fifth in the table.

Chelsea failed to make their overwhelming firsthalf possession count and the second half was a horror show. Bournemouth proved more clinical as Joshua King scored twice, either side of a goal for David Brooks, and Charlie Daniels completed the rout in stoppage time.

It was only the second time since the start of the Premier League in 1992 that Chelsea had lost by a fourgoal margin — the other was a 5-1 loss to Liverpool in 1996. Daniels’s late goal meant Chelsea’s goal difference is the same as Arsenal’s but they have scored less goals.

Both clubs have 47 points, seven behind thirdplaced Tottenham Hotspur, and only two ahead of Manchester United.

For all their possession,

Bournemouth’s David Brooks scores the second goal for his team.

the closest Chelsea came to scoring in the opening period was Mateo Kovacic’s header which was touched onto the bar by Bournemouth keeper Artur Boruc. Boruc made several other stops but Chelsea’s lack of punch in the attacking third was clear to see again as they suffered a second heavy loss to Bournemouth in consecutive seasons having been beaten 3-0 at Stamford Bridge a year ago.

Bournemouth gradually grew into the game and

were a threat on the break with Brooks and Junior Stanislas both denied by Spanish keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Chelsea fell behind two minutes after the break when Brooks’s astute reverse pass released King to fire high past Arrizabalaga and things went from bad to worse as King’s pass over the top left released Brooks who stepped inside David Luiz’s d tackle and fired home.

Bour nemouth were rampant and Stanislas set

up King for his second after a flowing move in the 74th minute. Daniels came off the bench to head home in stoppage time.

Reds, Leicester draw

Premier League leaders Liverpool failed to take full advantage of Manchester City’s slip-up at Newcastle United as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Leicester City.

Liverpool got off to the perfect start with Sadio Mane firing them ahead in the third minute, cutting

in from the left, after good work from Andy Robertson, and beating Kasper Schmeichel with a trademark strike into the far corner.

Klopp’s side were never able to find their full speed and rhythm and a solid Leicester drew level on the stroke of halftime.

A Liverpool clearance was headed deep into the area by Ben Chilwell and found England defender Harry Maguire who slotted home. Liverpool felt they should have had a penalty when Naby Keita went down under a challenge from Leicester defender Ricardo Pereira, but their appeal was waved away, to the annoyance of their German manager.

Roberto Firmino went close to a winner in the 75th minute with a well-struck effort but Schmeichel saved to frustrate the Brazilian.

Liverpool, who have not won the title since 1990, move to 61 points with City on 56 points and Tottenham two points further back.

Leicester are 11th and their manager Claude Puel said they had deserved even more out of the game.

India in no danger of losing World Cup 2023 rights: ICC New Delhi, Jan 31 (PTI): India are not in danger of losing the hosting rights of the 2021 Champions Trophy and 2023 World Cup despite tax exemption issues, ICC CEO David Richardson declared Thursday, ending speculation that has swirled around the two events.

The Indian government refused to give tax exemptions to the ICC when the country hosted the 2016 World T20 following which the game’s governing body asked the BCCI to either pay USD 23 million (Rs 161 crore) as compensation or lose the 2023 World Cup rights. “Getting tax exemptions is very important for world cricket because every cent that is made by the ICC revenue wise is put back into the game. This helps coun-

tries like the West Indies who don’t generate as much revenue,” said Richardson.

“But having said that there are no plans of taking away the hosting (from India) and I’m sure we will get it (exemption) in the end, we’ve still got a lot of time,” he added.

The schedule for the 2020 T20 World Cup was

announced earlier this week and India and Pakistan won’t meet in the group stages for the first time since 2011.

Richardson explained that the groups were decided on the basis of rankings and there was no credible way for the two neighbouring nations to meet before the semifinals.

“We have arranged the groups in a way that has credibility and is based on the ranking system. The teams are placed according to their ranks. In this case, Pakistan were number one in the rankings in their group and India number two,” Richardson said. “...we found no credible way of putting them in the same group. Hopefully from a world perspective they will meet each other in the semifinals or final.”
