GUWAHATI/AGARTALA/IMPHAL, JAN 9: Widespread protests against the Citizenship Bill continued in Assam Wednesday with agitators blocking roads and marching with their clothes off in several parts of the state.

The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 that seeks to provide citizenship to non-Muslims from Bangaldesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan was passed by the Lok Sabha Tuesday.

by Akhil Gogoi’s Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti and Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba Chatra Parishad, protested outside central government offices and also tried way through the barricades to the state secretariat, leading to a scuffle with police.

“The situation is completely under control now,” the SDPO told PTI. SMS and mobile Internet services remained suspended throughout the

Police foil protest rally in Manipur Manipur police on Wednesday foiled a protest rally against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 that seeks to provide citizenship to non-Muslims from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

A protest rally had been planned by Left Coordination Committee of Manipur units of CPI, CPI (M), RSP and Forward Block at the concluding part of another protest on the same issue.

Addressing a press conference, convener of the committee L Sotinkumar alleged that the passing of the bill despite strong objections from the opposition bench was nothing but against the Constitution and a dishonouring of the country’s secularism. “BJP’s intention of passing the bill is nothing but to convert India into a homeland of Hindu. The bill will give a great impact

to demography of Northeast states,” he said.

Manipur People Party (MPP), North-East India Development Party (NEIDP), Manipur unit of Siva Sena and other also objected to the bill.

Meanwhile, members of Democratic Students Alliance of Manipur (DESAM) staged a protest in front their office before burning a copy of the bill in the concluding part of the protest.

Talking to reporters, DESAM leaders worried that once the bill got the assent of the President after passing through the Rajya Sabha, indigenous people of the North East will be dominated by migrants from outside the region.

The bill will eliminate the people of the region from their own land, they alleged. All Manipur Students’ Union (AMSU) has warned that if the bill is not withdrawn at the earliest, the body will be compelled to take extreme steps like boycotting the upcoming Republic Day. Meanwhile, Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh has said that his government will not, in any way, go against the aspirations and wishes of the people.

‘Citizenship Bill for whole country, not confined to NE’ Minister said.

His statement came after violent incidents were reported from some northeastern states including Assam, Tripura and Meghalaya after the Citizenship Amendment Bill, 2019 was passed by the Lok Sabha on Tuesday amid objections raised by the opposition parties.

Rajnath Singh said Assam had been facing illegal migrant problems for several decades and had also witnessed an agitation over the issue during 1979-1985 which led to the signing of the Assam Accord on August 15, 1985.

Dispelling the misgivings about the Bill, he highlighted the discrimination and religious persecution faced by minority communities in those countries.

"They have no place to go to except India. The Bill will provide relief to persecuted migrants who have come through western borders of the country to states such as Gujarat, Rajasthan, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh and others," he added.

The Bill seeks to enable Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians who fled to India from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Ban-

gladesh without valid travel documents or those whose valid documents expired in recent years to acquire Indian citizenship through the process of naturalisation.

The Minister said the Bill would help the migrants facing religious prosecution in the three countries to get Indian citizenship.

He said religious minorities in Pakistan have been facing systematic discrimination and, though the present governments in Afghanistan and Bangladesh were committed to the welfare of the minorities, they have faced problems in the past.

He said no other country except India could have provided interim protection from punitive legal action to minorities facing difficulties in the neighbouring countries.

Rajnath Singh said that the Narendra Modi-led Central government had taken steps to properly implement the provisions of the Assam Accord and was effectively implementing the National Register of Citizens.

"We are committed to completing the process. As I said earlier, no Indian citizen will be excluded."

Noting that a focused approach to boost the sector will pay dividends for Meghalaya and its economy, Sangma said, “We can reap rich dividends by investing in and developing tourism. For every rupee that is spent in this sector, the return will be a hundred fold which will have a direct bearing on our economy.”

“We want to build a positive campaign to promote our destinations and invite tourists to experience the culture, nature and the climate of Meghalaya,” he said.

Sangma stated that the central government was extending all support for developing connectivity to different tourism destinations, which will facilitate tourism in the State.

“We are engaging with different airlines to start direct air connectivity from Delhi and Kolkata and if this happens it will be a huge boost to tourism. Likewise, if there is air connectivity from neighbouring countries, Meghalaya being the nearest hill state will benefit immensely,” he added. The Chief Minister said that the government has envisioned the development of heritage villages in different destinations to enable tourists to experience the unique culture, traditions and music of Meghalaya.

Agartala, Jan 9 (PTI): Displaced Br u refugees of Mizoram, sheltered in six evacuee camps in Tripura, will be deprived of ration supplies and cash from January 15, if the Union government does not extend its deadline for doling out benefits to them, officials said.

“The state has been providing cash and food to the relief camps as per instructions of the MHA, which had last year halted supplies for a brief period after failing to repatriate the Brus,” Abhedananda

Baidya, the sub-divisional magistrate of Kanchanpur in North Tripura district, said.

Bruno Msha, the secretary of Mizoram Bru Displaced Peoples Forum (MBDPF), said the community, comprising more than 35,000 refugees, was aware of the situation and that Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh will be apprised of the matter soon.

“We shall write to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh seeking his intervention in a day or two,” Msha told PTI. Thousands of Brus had been living in Tripura relief camps since 1997 in the wake of communal tension in Mizoram,

NEW DELHI, JAN 9 (IANS): Commenting on the reports of violence in the northeastern states as a result of the Citizenship Amendment Bill 2019 being passed in the Lok Sabha, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday informed the Rajya Sabha that "misconception" is being spread about the Bill.

He said the Bill, which seeks to remove hurdles in the way of eligible migrants from six minority groups from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan getting Indian citizenship, was not confined to Assam or the northeastern states but will apply to all states and union territories.

"The burden of these persecuted migrants will be shared by the whole country.

Assam and northeastern states alone would not have to bear the entire burden and the government is committed to providing all help to the state government and the people of Assam.

"The purpose is that the migrants facing persecution anywhere in the country can apply for Indian citizenship.

After that they can live in any state of the country like an Indian citizen," the

leaders maintained that the shutdown was total and successful while the ruling BJP claimed that the people rejected the strike in Tripura.

Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) leader and Tripura unit president of Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) Manik Dey told the media that braving the threat of ruling BJP and the state government, the state’s people unitedly observed the shutdown to protest against the antipeople policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre.

BJP General Secretary Pratima Bhowmik, however, claimed that the “people outrightly rejected the strike as it did not serve their interest”. CITU leader Manik Dey said life was crippled in large parts of rural areas in Tripura, and in urban and semi-urban areas the shutdown was almost total.

“The BJP government used the administration and the police to foil the success of the strike. Several BJP leaders accompanied by a large number of party workers forcibly opened some shops and business establishments,” he said.

to contain the movement of funds and guns.

He said radicalisation through the social media was a matter of great concern as a lot of people are getting radicalised using the platform.

“I think we have a lot to do with the media and the social media which must be controlled. For this if one particular nation starts controlling a particular media, it will be taken as media rights are being curbed.

“Therefore, I think the international community must get together in ensuring that the source of the social media is prevented from spreading false information and disinformation because a lot of funds are coming from people who are getting radicalised,” said Gen. Rawat.

He said radicalisation through social media was also becoming one of the causes for raising of funds by the terrorist organisations.

They are being convinced about the acts of terrorists and the radicalised people are also helping the terror outfits in generating funds, he said.

The Army Chief said the ISIS has not been able to find its feet in India as in some other countries and attributed it to India’s rich family values and good neighbourhood watch system.

While the Opposition Congress has been alleging corruption in the Rafale jet deal, the government has denied it. Claiming that there was a “bubble” of announcements, Thackeray asked the government to “solve the problems of farmers before considering any alliance talks”.

The Sena has been regularly hitting out at the BJP despite being part of the government in Maharashtra and at the Centre. Its leaders have often said they would contest the next polls on their own.

Thackeray’s party and the BJP had contested the 2014 Lok Sabha polls in alliance but split up at the time of Assembly polls.

The Sena joined the state government later.

“Everyday you (Modi) go to different countries and say my country is changing? How many days left (in power) for you now?”

Thackeray asked.

Kashmir’s IAS topper resigns to protest ‘unabated killings’ New Delhi, Jan 9 (AGENCIES): Shah Faesal, the outspoken IAS topper whose success inspired many young Kashmiris to join the civil services, announced on Wednesday that he has decided to resign from the government and join electoral politics.

Faesal, 35, attributed his decision to protest what he described as “the unabated killings in Kashmir and absence of any credible political initiative from Union Government”.

“I have decided to resign from IAS. Kashmiri lives matter,” Faesal said in a Facebook post that was severely critical of the central government.

Faesal, a 2010-batch IAS officer, was the first Kashmiri to top the civil services examination held by the Union Public Services Commission, or UPSC. His appointment was then seen to reflect the changing mindset of Kashmiris.

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, Faesal, however, said he will announce his plans on Friday. He is expected to join the National Conference and contest the Lok Sabha polls from Barmulla in north Kashmir.

Former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah welcomed Faesal to politics.

“The bureaucracy’s loss is politics’ gain. Welcome to the fold @shahfaesal,” Abdullah tweeted.

New Delhi, Jan 9 (PTI): Terrorism is becoming a new form of warfare and it will keep growing like a “multi-headed monster” till nations continue to use it as a State policy, Army Chief Gen. Bipin Rawat said Wednesday as he pitched for some control over social media to contain spread of radicalisation and terror-funding.

In an address at the Raisina Dialogue, India’s flagship conference on geopolitics, the Army Chief said there should be talks with the Taliban so as to bring peace to Afghanistan but asserted the engagement must be without any preconditions.

In a clear reference to Pakistan, Gen. Rawat said a “weaker nation” has been using terrorists as a proxy to put pressure on other nations to come to terms with them, and warned against tolerating such policy.

“If this is going to happen, then there will be States that will be funding the terrorists and allowing them to move around in the manner in which they want to move,” he said, adding Pakistan has always kept the Taliban in its backyard.

Identifying social media as a platform to spread radicalism and generate financial resources for terrorism, the Army Chief said time has come to put some control over it.

“We see a different kind of radicalisation in Jammu and Kashmir. My take is that terrorism is here to stay so long as there are nations which are going to continue to sponsor terrorism as a state policy. We are seeing it happening in Jammu and Kashmir,” he said. In Jammu and Kashmir, he said, youth are being radicalised using “misinformation” and falsehoods on religion.

“It is a low visibility, high-gain option. This is now becoming a form of warfare. We referred to gurilla warfare some years ago.

This is now graduated to terrorism,” he said.

Gen. Rawat, observing that terrorism was becoming a new form of warfare, said the menace is now spreading its head like a multi-headed monster.

He said there was definitely a nexus between drugs and guns and unless movement of drugs was controlled, it will be difficult

Omar Abdullah has supported Shah Faesal on social media more than once, particularly when Faesal was trolled for his blunt remarks. He was as scathing in his Facebook post announcing his decision to resign.

“I wish to reiterate that voices of reason in this country cannot be muzzled for long and the environment of siege will need to end if we wish to usher in true democracy,” he wrote.

Faesal, from Jammu and Kashmir’s Kupwara district, got into trouble with the government last year and was issued a show-cause notice for tweeting a comment on a story of a man raping his mother.

You repeal it and the relationship is over. Nothing will remain to be discussed afterwards,” he said in a tweet.

“Let’s not confuse the issue. Sovereignty and integrity of India can’t be challenged. Not at all. But the Constitution has kept some special provisions for J&K state. It’s a unique arrangement. It isn’t a threat to India’s integrity at all,” he said.

Article 35A empowers the Jammu and Kashmir state’s legislature to define “permanent residents” of the state and provide special rights and privileges to those permanent residents.

B e e d, Ja n 9 ( P T I ) : Quoting a book, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday said the Centre’s crop insurance scheme was “as big a scam” as the Rafale fighter jet deal.

Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s frequent foreign tours, he said mere speeches and announcements will not help the public, and demanded that the BJP-led government solve farmers’ problems before looking at alliance talks for the forthcoming elections.

Modi had launched the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojna in 2015 with the main objective to provide insurance cover and financial support to farmers in the event of failure of any of the notified crops as a result of natural calamities, pests and diseases.

Addressing a rally in Beed district of Maharashtra during his tour of the drought-hit Marathwada region, Thackeray asked how many people received benefits of the government’s crop insurance scheme after paying instalments to insur-

He asked the crowd whether or not he should perform his duties as a ‘chowkidar’, working honestly. When people responded ‘yes’, the Prime Minister said all conspiracies against him would be defeated and the investigative agencies would not stop until each paise of public money looted was unearthed and accounted for. He referred to the mining scam in Uttar Pradesh in which then governments plundered public money to fill their own cof-

Jaipur, Jan 9 (PTI): Rahul Gandhi said Wednesday that farmers, troubled by the agriculture distress, showed Prime Minister Narendra Modi their strength in the recent assembly elections in three Hindi heartland states, including Rajasthan, in which the BJP lost power to the Congress.

Addressing a farmers’ rally in Jaipur — the first after Congress formed the government in Rajasthan, he also promised to waive farm loans in every state if the Congress is voted to power in 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

The Congress president, however, said waiving farm loans is a small step towards addressing the agriculture distress and “a new green revolution (harit kranti) is needed to address the problem.”

Attacking Modi for not participating in the debate on the multi-crore Rafale jet deal, Gandhi said, “Chowkidaar could not stand in Lok Sabha for a minute during the debate on Rafale issue.”

Gandhi has been playing on the word “chowkidaar”, used by Modi after his election to say that he will not allow corruption on his watch, to target the prime minister.

“We demand a JPC probe of the Rafale deal,” Gandhi said, asserting that Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman could not reply to his questions during the debate on the issue in Lok Sabha.

The Congress wrested power from the BJP in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh in December.

Agra, Jan 9 (IANS): Calling himself a ‘chowkidar’ (watchman) who is ever vigilant, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that political leaders involved in scandals and corruption should be ready to pay for their misdeeds.

“The ‘chowkidar’ is vigilant, alert and working 24x7. No amount of political conspiracies and alliances will be able to stop my war against corruption,” the Prime Minister told a public gathering at Meena Kothi grounds here.

Addressing people after laying foundation stones and inaugurating developmental projects worth Rs 3,500 crore, Modi took on the opposition. In an apparent reference to the likely alliance between the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and the Samajwadi Party (SP) in Uttar Pradesh, ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, Modi said it was now clear that their leaders were worried about their misdeeds and were trying to join ranks to stop the investigative agencies from acting against them.

“People who were not even ready to see each other’s face are now striking alliances... Chowkidaar ko door se hi dekh kar ye ghabra jaate hain...”

Crafty politics

esperate situations call for desperate measures and that was what the Modi government has done when its cabinet decided to amend the Constitution to provide 10 per cent quota in jobs and higher education for the poor among communities not eligible for reservation. The upper caste quota opens a new front that is likely to play out in the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections.

The decision stopped the opposition in their tracks, especially the Congress which was gunning for the beleaguered prime minister on the Rafale and demonetisation issues. It was a strategic but crafty move which none of the parties dared oppose or else risk losing the votes of the upper castes. The BJP has been under severe attack and even the Augusta Westland deal did not create the impact it had wanted as the party was booted out in its bastions in Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. For the ruling BJP, the decision was with an eye on Lok Sabha elections in a few months and also to leave behind the party’s defeat in the Hindi heartland states of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. By giving 10 per cent quota in jobs and higher education to the upper caste poor, months before the next Lok Sabha elections, the Narendra Modi government has played a master move that few among the opposition parties can criticise. For one, the upper caste quota is not a new idea but one which what several opposition leaders had been asking for but did nothing. When Mayawati of Bhaujan Samaj Party (BSP) rode to power in Uttar Pradesh in 2007, she demanded reservation in jobs for the poor belonging to the upper caste. Then the Congress as well as the BJP supported the demand. When the decision sailed through, Mayawati won the election with the help of significant support by upper caste voters. Some Dalit leaders in the ruling NDA too have demanded such a quota for the upper caste poor. Reservation for SC, ST and OBCs throughout India has already plugged 49.5 % of jobs. With another 10% added for the upper castes, the total jobs reserved will now cross over to 59.5%. SC, ST and OBC categories are considered to be of those who need to be raised to a higher level to maintain equality. They are given free education, easy jobs, lower criteria for selection and in short reservation. Modi used his so-called backward credentials to woo a large section of non-dominant backward class communities during 2014. By extending reservation for the upward caste has changed the narrative of social justice about reservation being an exclusive political right of the backward castes and thus and takes away the “bragging rights” of backwards during political dialogues and electioneering. Now the BJP will rightly claim to be a promoter of upper caste quota for the economically backward. The fact of the matter is that when those who form the government continue with their promise to make India a super power and also a great nation, it is quite inconceivable that the same breed of politicians think nothing of taking the country backwards for political dividends. The quota system is about promoting mediocracy and that cannot make India great.

DailyDevotion Prayerful Inner-Searching May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless… —1 Thessalonians 5:23 “Your whole spirit….” The great, mysterious work of the Holy Spirit is in the deep recesses of our being which we cannot reach. Read Psalm 139.

The psalmist implies— “O Lord, You are the God of the early mornings, the God of the late nights, the God of the mountain peaks, and the God of the sea. But, my God, my soul has horizons further away than those of early mornings, deeper darkness than the nights of earth, higher peaks than any mountain peaks, greater depths than any sea in nature. You who are the God of all these, be my God. I cannot reach to the heights or to the depths; there are motives I cannot discover, dreams I cannot realize. My God, search me.”

Do we believe that God can fortify and protect our thought processes far beyond where we can go? “…the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin” (1 John 1:7). If this verse means cleansing only on our conscious level, may God have mercy on us. The man who has been dulled by sin will say that he is not even conscious of it. But the cleansing from sin we experience will reach to the heights and depths of our spirit if we will “walk in the light as He is in the light” (1 John 1:7). The same Spirit that fed the life of Jesus Christ will feed the life of our spirit. It is only when we are protected by God with the miraculous sacredness of the Holy Spirit that our spirit, soul, and body can be preserved in pure uprightness until the coming of Jesus-no longer condemned in God’s sight.

We should more frequently allow our minds to meditate on these great, massive truths of God.

Defending the right to privacy

he successful passing of a historic bill in Lok Sabha to amend the Aadhaar law giving its citizens freedom to provide their Aadhaar number for availing services such as bank account and mobile number among others is nothing less than a triumph for the commoners in their existential battle against the manipulative and evil design of the state to arbitrarily curb their privacy’s right under the pretext of “in the interest of the state”, “for the nation’s security” etc…

This comes four months after the wise intervention and direction from the honorable Supreme Court of the country, on behalf of the citizens, declaring the government decision for providing of biometric ID mandatory for mobile connection, opening bank account, school admission and competitive exams as illegal, which otherwise the law had the potential of becoming an instrument for seriously challenging and infringing upon the individuals’ right to privacy.

This court ruling and the subsequent passing of the bill comes as a huge respite for the commoners as they will now be free from the unnecessary burden and pressure of receiving constant call from the concerned authorities for linking their bank account and mobile number with their Aadhaar number by giving them certain deadline. This latest historic verdict that favors common people should make way for further amendment to the law that should make the whole of Aadhaar enrollment process itself as voluntary exercise.

An individual’s right to privacy constitutes the very essence of life and existence. It is a natural and inalienable right endowed by

Creator to every individual which help him/her to assert himself/ herself as a unique being. For the granting of this right to the individual does not required to be agreed by any consenting parties nor has the establishment/ government any right to interpret and redefine in order to fit to their convenience.

In Part R (168) of the landmark Supreme Court verdict on right to privacy in August 2017 read, “Privacy postulates the reservation of a private space for the individual, described as the right to be let alone. The concept is founded on the autonomy of the individual…. The notion of privacy enables the individual to assert and control the human element which is inseparable from the personality of the individual”.

This observation from the court is all about defending the rights of the individual’s privacy in the midst of a threat from the state.

Aadhaar law clearly violates the right of privacy as it enforce upon its citizens to surrender their unique identification mark like fingerprint, iris and biometric mark which will help the state to keep each and every citizens under strict surveillance. Not contented with those present features of Aadhaar, government is now even wants to extend its surveillance program by taking face identification from its citizens.

This has left us wondering what step the authority would initiate next in their relentless quest to have an unlimited access on the life of an individual.

If national security or fighting corruption is the reason for initiating any legislation then the entire citizens of the nation should not be held for a ransom for the serving that purpose. In

1933 when German national parliament was burned down, the German government of the day initiated a new law that makes everyone a suspect, and empowered authority to persecute anyone on mere suspicion.

The ‘Reichstag Fire Decree’ was passed which suspended most of the civil liberties in Germany, including “freedom of expression and freedom of the press, the right of free association and public assembly”. This is how Nazi Germany takes undue advantage of the burning of their parliament building to impose burden on its citizen and consolidate its power over the people. The government of India cannot effort to replicate this model to create terror of restriction in the life of its citizens just for the sake of atoning its failure. For the tragic failure on the part of the government to recover black money or prevent Mumbai attack in 1993 and 2008 and parliament attack in 2001 citizens of the country cannot pay the price of it by surrendering their freedom for rights to their privacy. The rights of the citizens cannot be exchange for providing security to the nation, which is the sole responsibility of the authority. It would also be too cruel on the part of the ‘welfare state’ to ask from its citizens, especially from the poorer sections, to surrender their basic human right for the sake of availing some benefits from government. The worst possible outcome of this government’s surveillance program is that it would make every individual a potential trouble maker or suspected terrorist who, therefore, needs to be forever kept under scanner.

India should not forget that it had produced one of the fin-

Future prospects for the economy don’t seem promising

E

ven the most optimistic estimates cannot deny that in all likelihood, the world economy will grow at a slower pace in 2019 than it did in the previous year.

Most significantly, the Chinese economy that had managed to keep its engine running at full throttle over the last four decades is slowly running out of gas. The fact that tech giant Apple had to cut its sales forecast citing an unforeseen “magnitude of economic deceleration” in China is telling of the economic heft the Asian economy carries in the world today.

Even though this slowdown of the Chinese economy was expected, the trade war with the US has only hastened the inevitable. Apart from the trade war, the continuation of monetary tightening by the world’s largest economies will only add to the misery.

Amidst such bleak global prospects, the Indian economy has been reeling under its own share of problems.

The economy was surging at 8.2 percent in the quarter ended June 2018 - the fastest rate for any major economy in the world. Even though India still carries that distinction, the growth rate slowed down towards the end of the year to 7.1 percent. Government data released on Monday put at growth rate at 7.2 per cent in 2018-19. Investments have also taken a hit. As per data from the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE), investments into new projects in the last three months of 2018 was at its lowest level since the BJP came into power in 2014. The value of stalled projects has also risen to the second highest in the tenure of the current government.

The latest downturn is a culmination of the adverse global conditions that have played out over the last few months. A sudden spike in crude oil prices had sent the Indian currency in a freefall, widening the current account deficit and dampening growth. Only a reversal in oil price trends proved to be a saving grace for the Indian economy. The series of events were a rude reminder of the dependence of the health of the Indian economy on the price of oil.

A higher price of oil was a leading cause of the dismal economic scenario in the final years of UPA-II and its sustained downward revision explained the economy’s improved performance during a majority of the current government’s tenure. As per IMF estimates, the windfall gains to the Indian economy from a fall in crude

G

est person in history and greatest champions of human right who among many things fought against a law that discriminated Indian in South Africa. Mahatma Gandhi was famously known for his opposition to the Transvaal Asiatic Registration Act 1906 that specifically targeted Asians (Indians and Chinese) where every male Asian members living in the country are required “to officially register and produce on demand a thumb-printed certificate of identity” failing which they were threatened with deportation “without a right of appeal or fined on the spot”. Gandhi opposed this law in the form of pressuring the authority by mobilizing mass support and providing free legal aid to those affected by the law. It is this Gandhi’s vision of non-violence, peace and respect for individual’s right to privacy is what had inspired the world to strive for living a life of dignity and honor, had help India got her independence and whose life and teaching still inspire the world today.

If India adored Mahatma Gandhi and take pride of gifting him to the world, which they have every right to, then the nation cannot contradict with his vision and teaching from his native place. Seven decades after independence, India, a free and democratic country, a land of Gandhi, and its people, the sons and daughters of Gandhi, cannot effort to create a new control system, in the name of nation’s security and ensuring transparency, to enslave its citizens and placing them under the yoke of new form of slavery called Aadhaar.

The separateness of Nagas from the purview of CAB 2019

T

he Citizenship Amendment Bill of 2019 (CAB 2019) is an Act of law passed by the Indian Parliament to give Indian citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians who had fled to India from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh in previous years.

But in this context, as for any Naga Christians fleeing from Pakistan into Indian Territory, the matter does not exist at all. This is because Nagas have never lived as Christians or animists in Pakistan or any of these neighbouring countries at any time.

As for Naga Hindus, Buddhist, Sikhs, Jains or Parsis fleeing into India from Pakistan or anywhere else, the matter is again an absurdity as there has never been any Naga Hindu or Parsi etc in the records of any Asian or world history.

The Citizenship Amendment Bill of 2019 is therefore, an Indian government bill that has nothing to do with any independent Naga who is standing firmly on the foundations of Naga political history geography and rights. This is also precisely why the Naga National Council (NNC) raised the Naga flag on 14th August 1947 and Nagas also did not participate in the first and second Indian General Elections in 1952 and 1957.

These actions were undertaken by the NNC in order to safeguard Naga national identity and territory. Let these facts remain very clear in every Naga conscience that, in as much as we are not Indians, we also neither belonged to any Indian religion like Hinduism or any of its multifarious offshoots like Sikhism, Jainism or any other religions like Buddhism or Parsi.

However if any Nagas compromises on these historical facts, then they will find themselves entangled (or even get lost), in the affairs of a foreign country like India.

Basic, yet game-changing

iven the varied use of government spending, the question remains on how important it is to focus on the “basic” infrastructure services such as roads, electricity and water -- the classic troika of “sadak-bijli-paani”.

Essentially, “basic” infrastructure such as roads, water and electricity are critical drivers of economic growth. Creating the “basic” backbone infrastructure not only delivers value through the usage of the asset or service but, inter alia, offers even greater value through the ecosystem that can be built around the core assets.

A recent tweet by Vinayak Chatterjee, Chairman, Feedback Infra Group, illustrates an example of the value-creation through building “basic” infrastructure: “As per Power Ministry, 15 states now have 100% household electrification.

Likely consequences are also emerging like increased sales of electrical appliances.” It drives home the point that electrification infrastructure has a critical impact on creating value through multiplier effects on the economy, boosting demand for goods and services down the consumption chain.

For all the talk of FMCG companies accessing rural markets, consumer durable companies would do well to pay more attention to the infrastructure creation trends in the economy. For example, increased electrification creates entirely new markets for electronic goods-focused consumer durables companies.

However, the creation of a new market is not limited only to the product being sold. Given the relatively higher ticket-value nature of consumer durables,

there is a new market for lending businesses as well. This opportunity in the lending space is to finance some part of the consumption trend. This opportunity is applicable mainly to well-entrenched incumbent lending institutions looking for the next phase of growth.

For instance, there might be a Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) with a significant business in financing the two-wheeler market in and around the areas seeing increased electrification. The increased electrification trend allows the NBFC to now access a substantial component of existing customers for a new product line of consumer durables. Thereby, the NBFC can deliver value to its stakeholders by building on an existing distribution network and credit information repository.

Additionally, there is a business opportunity for the logistics sector as well. A new market in consumer durables creates the need for transportation, storage and distribution of products in new areas. The above is an example of how “basic” infrastructure creation creates positive multiplier effects throughout the economy.

Most importantly, new industries are established, and existing industries can expand into new areas thereby creating jobs and facilitating investments.

For investors focused on India, both in the private and public markets, current trends such as increased electrification create investment opportunities. For example, more electrification begs an important question: Which segment of the supply chain does the investor want to invest in to generate investment returns?

Do investors want to invest in consumer durable companies that can tap into new markets? Do they want to invest in financial firms that can benefit through funding of the consumption? Or do they want to invest in the logistics needed to create the new supply chain? Regarding direct versus non-direct investments, investors have a choice of directly investing in logistics real estate versus investing in publicly-listed companies that have significant exposure to the new markets. The single biggest takeaway is that the creation of “basic” infrastructure creates investment opportunities for all types of investors across the spectrum.

It is also important to note that besides the creation of new infrastructure, significant value creation is possible through improving the quality and maintenance of existing “basic” infrastructure. While new projects tend to grab most of the headlines, gradual quality improvements and effective maintenance of infrastructure is value-additive as well.

In summary, the creation of “basic” infrastructure delivers value on many fronts.

Crowding in private capital, job creation, a higher standard of living, access to basic amenities and expansion of business opportunities are some of the obvious advantages that come to mind. Going forward, both central and state governments would do well to build and improve the “backbone” infrastructure.

(IANS) Taponeel Mukherjee, (taponeel.mukherjee@ development-tracks.com)

oil prices were a cumulative 4 percent of GDP in 2015 and 2016.

Therefore, oil price trends will also have a strong bearing on India’s economic performance in 2019. The price will probably remain subdued owing to the slowdown in the global economy, but the oil cartel, Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is a wild card.

Even though the dominance of Russia and US has grown in the global oil markets, OPEC still wields a significant influence. So, the volatility in oil prices owing to OPEC’s production cuts will be a major challenge in the coming year.

Another aspect that will play a defining role in the performance of the economy is the oncoming elections in May. As is the wont of the political class in India, the government is expected to boost spending in the months leading up to the election, especially towards the farming community, to garner voter support for the ruling party. Conversations around farm loan waivers have already picked up following the BJP’s disappointing performance in the recent state elections. Such efforts are bound to pressure the state’s fiscal goals, which are already in jeopardy considering the government had already reached its annual budgetary targets in October itself. Even though these moves might result in shortterm growth spurts, the impact on the economy’s growth in the second half of the year will depend on the electoral outcomes.

The lending activities of the banks will be another determinant of the revival in economic activity of the country. Banks have become extremely risk-averse in granting loans due to increased scrutiny by the RBI on account of the mounting piles of stressed assets. Hopefully, 2019 will be the year when the problem of bad loans will finally move towards resolution and stop being an impediment to growth.

With a tepid global economic scenario, subdued domestic sentiment, and an election that is bound to bring a coalition government into power, the future prospects for the economy do not seem promising. The successive government is likely to take charge in a less than ideal economic environment Sir, and will face significant challenges to Why is it that when our own local auto drivers make wrong turns, the traffic police just infuse stability and stronger growth shouts at them and let them off, whereas plain drivers are prone to getting solid slaps?

were pelted at school buses in Howrah district. Similar incidents were reported on Tuesday as well. There were similar incidents of stone pelting in other parts of the state too.

In Kerala, a treasury branch of the State Bank of India in Thiruvananthapuram was attacked and trains were blocked in various parts of state on the second day of strike.

At the Thiruvananthapuram railway station, Thir uvananthapuramHyderabad Sabari Express and Venad Express were stopped, while the Kottayam-Nilambur passenger train in Kalamassery was held up for a while. At many places in Kerala, shops and commercial establishments remained shut, and buses and autorickshaws were also off roads in the state.

stir Tuesday.

Banking services were also partially affected for the second day, as a section of PSU bank employees came in support of the strike call.

All India Bank Employees’ Association (AIBEA) and Bank Employees’ Federation of India (BEFI) have supported the strike, which has impacted banking operation where these two unions are strong.

However, the operation in SBI and private sector banks remained unaffected as other seven unions in the banking sector are not part of the strike.

According to AIBEA General Secretary C H Vekatchalam, cash transactions, clearance of cheques, remittances, bills discounting and foreign exchange transactions were impacted.

He also said that there was 100 per cent strike in 22 districts of Madhya Pradesh and 20 districts of Karnataka.

According to unions, the strike was affected due to UGC exams, which started from Tuesday as some state transport departments decided not participate completely in the strike in the interest of students. The exams were scheduled in some states on Wednesday as well.

New Delhi, Jan 9 (IANS): The Supreme Court was moved on Wednesday challenging the Delhi High Court order dismissing a PIL seeking a ban on YouTube showing the trailer of the movie ‘The Accidental Prime Minister,’ portraying former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh.

The High Court dismissed the plea today. The petitioner had also challenged granting certification to the film. The film is based on a book with the same title written by Sanjaya Baru, former Prime Minister Singh’s media advisor. Baru’s book was published on April 20, 2014. The petition has contended that the trailer on YouTube is misleading and was factually incorrect as there are various inputs not based on the book.

Describing the trailer as “misleading,” petitioner Pooja Mahajan, a fashion designer, says she has “discovered that wrong propaganda was being carried at the behest of some political party.

Mahajan contends the trailer of the film is “gives an impression that there were confrontations within the government and with the party on the issue of election, nuclear deal, Kashmir, relations with the party and other matters”.

NTC supports opposition to Citizenship Bill NTC expressed shock over how the State cabinet had resolved on the Bill as reported in the media.

“Even the vocabularies like ‘previous’ is used to denote our protective laws as BEFR of 1873 and Art 371(A) implying as though such laws remained obsolete, whereas those laws are indeed existing and prevailing.

Will the Union Govt. pay heed to the resolution so

adopted by State cabinet for ‘review’ of the Bill?

At this very juncture, the middle path posture is a misnomer as the need of the hour is yes or no,” it stressed.

According to the council, the lukewarm decision of the State cabinet had isolated Nagaland from other North-eastern States, particularly those who opposed the Bill outright, and that Nagaland was “left friendless and voiceless.”

Alleging that the PDA government had already decided not to oppose the Bill on June 5, 2018, NTC pointed out that this decision was reflected in the State cabinet’s decision to convene an all-party meeting to examine the Bill even when it was already on its way in the Parliament after clearances from Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) and Union Cabinet.

According to the council, such an exercise

was much behind the time and irrelevant.

“What is the determination of PDA in protecting the settlement of illegal people in Nagaland at the cost of the future of the sons of the soil?

What is the wisdom of PDA to resist the eminent flood of influx of outsiders into Nagaland using ILP and Art 371(A) under the enforcement of the Citizenship Bill when the State government has been dragging its

ed as additional director in the agency.

Verma had challenged the move in the Supreme Court which clipped the powers of Rao as director in-charge and barred him from taking any major policy decision till a final order comes from it.

In its order Tuesday, the Supreme Court set aside Verma’s forced leave but restrained him from taking any major policy decision till the CVC probe into corruption charges against him is over.

In the absence of any clear definition of “major policy” decisions, the grey area exists as to what extent Verma’s powers will be limited.

The apex court said any further decision against Verma, who retires on January 31, would be taken by the high-powered committee which selects and appoints the CBI director.

Agra, Jan 9 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said the 10 per cent quota for the poor among the upper castes in government jobs and higher education institutions is a “historic step” and allayed fears that this will cut into the existing reservation pie for the SC/ ST and OBCs. Addressing a public meeting here, he said a “major step” had been taken to provide equal opportunities to the poor and referred to how the Lok Sabha on Tuesday passed a

“historic” legislation.

“After so many decades, the poor from the general category will get a quota of 10 per cent in government jobs and higher educational institutions...

A major step has been taken and I thank all who have supported the amendment in the Constitution,” he said.

“I am a man who keeps his words and am happy that what I said as the Chief Minister of Gujarat I have stuck to and fulfilled as the Prime Minister,” he said, pointing out out how during his days as the Chief Minister he would tell people not to be fooled by promises made by politicians and leaders of giving them quota beyond the cap of 50 per cent.

Mumbai, Jan 9 (PTI): Days after BJP chief Amit Shah’s remarks that his party will thrash former allies if a pre-poll alliance did not materialise ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, senior Shiv Sena leader Ramdas Kadam has threatened to “bury” the BJP. Kadam, whose party is currently an ally of the ruling BJP at the Centre and in Maharashtra, also noted that the Sena had won 63 seats, out of the total 288, in the 2014 state Assembly polls despite the ‘Modi wave’.

“They (BJP) have already lost elections miserably in five states. Don’t come to Maharashtra and threaten us or we will bury you.

Don’t forget that we won 63 seats despite the (Modi) wave,” Kadam, who is a minister in the Maharashtra government, told reporters on Tuesday evening.

In a veiled warning to the Sena, Shah had said on Sunday that if an alliance happened, the BJP will ensure victory for its allies, but if it did not, the party will thrash its former allies in the coming Lok Sabha polls.

Asked about the central government’sbill to provide 10 per cent reservation in jobs and education for the general category poor, Kadam said there is already quota for the Marathas, Dhangars and Muslims.

Upper caste quota ‘historic’, says Modi

MOKOKCHUNG, NAGALAND.

(From p-1) Taking on the centre over the bill, Imchen said even as the Nagas were crying politically or otherwise to defend their integrity and identity at any cost, it brought about a legal passage for the illegal immigrants to swarm North-eastern states and Nagaland in particular.

He maintained that Article 371(A) of the Constitution would also become redundant once the bill was passed and becomes a law. Imchen warned that PDA government headed by Rio would be solely answerable to the posterity of the Naga people, saying the chief minister has not uttered a single word against this controversial Bill. “Rather he has surreptitiously supported the Bill at the expense of the Naga people so that he can continue to cling on to his dilapidated chair which will eventually crush on its own,” Imchen claimed.

HC agrees to hear plea against AgustaWestland

1. SALESMAN – 3 (THREE) 10+/UNDERGRADUATE STARTING SALARY – Rs 5000/DP-255

New Delhi, Jan 9 (IANS): The Delhi High Court on Wednesday agreed to hear a plea by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) challenging the arbitration proceedings going on between AgustaWestland and the MoD. The Ministry has moved the high court seeking order to restrain hearing in Arbitration Tribunal which was initiated by AgustaWestland.

However, Justice Pratibha M. Singh refused to grant any interim order to stay the proceedings before the Arbitration Tribunal.

The Tribunal will hear the matter on January 10.

The high court has asked AgustaWestland to file reply on the MoD plea within three weeks. The Defence Ministry would file a rejoinder to the AgustaWestland’s response within two weeks. Thereafter, the court has listed the matter for further hearing on February 28. AgustaWestland had invoked the arbitration process after the government cancelled the helicopter deal.

New Delhi, Jan 9 (PTI): CBI Director Alok Verma joined office Wednesday, 77 days after he was sent on forced leave by the central government through a much-criticised late-night order on October 23, 2018, which was set aside by the Supreme Court.

The October order sent Verma and his deputy Special Director Rakesh Asthana, booked by the agency on corruption charges, into exile in a first-of-its-kind move by the government in the agency’s history.

In sending Verma on leave, the government overlooked the immunity given to the CBI director by the Supreme Court ensuring a two-year minimum tenure to protect the incumbent from any political interference.

The government tried to justify its decision, saying it became necessary amid an unprecedented feud between the two senior-most officials of the agency who had levelled charges of corruption on each other, an argument rejected by the apex court Tuesday.

The government had given charge to then Joint Director M Nageswara Rao who was later promot-

New Delhi, Jan 9 (PTI): Sporadic incidents of violence in West Bengal and Kerala and rail blockades in certain states were witnessed Wednesday on the second day of Bharat Bandh, which also saw a partial disruption of banking and insurance services across the country.

Other sectors like mining, road transport, power supply too bore the brunt of strike call given by country’s 10 major central trade unions, except RSS affiliate Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh, to protest against the government’s alleged anti-labour policies and unilateral labour reforms.

They had given a call for a two-day Bharat Bandh on January 8 and 9.

Stray incidents of violence were reported from various parts of West Bengal Wednesday. Stones

Trains were stopped by protesters at a few places in Tamil Nadu and banking services in some public sector banks interrupted in Telangana but life largely remained unaffected on Wednesday.

In Mumbai, lakhs of commuters faced hardships as an indefinite strike called by BEST, the city’s civic transport undertaking, continued. There were only five buses plying on city roads.

Train services in Eastern Railway zone were disrupted Wednesday after supporters of the Bandh resorted to blockades at many places. A suspected bomb was found on the railway tracks at Ashoknagar in Sealdah-Bongaon section that led to suspension of train services in the route.

In Odisha, train services were hit on the second day of the strike as trade union activists staged ‘rail roko’ at several places including Bhubaneswar, Balasore and Berhampur.

Several trains were delayed due to blockade of railway tracks by strike supporters, leaving a large number of passengers stranded at many places.

sources by selling land assets and other subsidiaries.

The government had initially planned to offload 76 per cent equity share capital of the national carrier as well as transfer the management control to private players. The buyer was required to take over Rs 24,000 crore debt of the carrier along with over Rs 8,000 crore of liabilities.

However, the stake sale failed to attract any bidders when the bidding process completed on May 31.

In August 2018, the government had r e -

ceived Parliament nod for Rs 980 crore equity infusion in Air India under a “turn around plan”.

Earlier this month, Parliament approved a further Rs 2,345 crore equity infusion into the airline.

The ministerial panel has already cleared strategic sale of Air India’s ground handling subsidiary, Air India Air Transport Services.

Plans are afoot for selling another subsidiary, Air India Engineering Services.

building assets would go to the SPV and will be utilised towards lowering the debt burden of the airline.

The national carrier had in September last year invited bids to sell its properties located across India.

The airline had put up for sale 28 flats in Mumbai, seven flats in Ahmedabad, and two flats and an office space in Pune, besides several other properties across the country.

On December 27, the civil aviation ministry told the Lok Sabha that the government has prepared a revival plan for Air India.

A comprehensive financial package, including transfer of non-core debt and assets to a SPV, implementation of robust organisational and governance reforms by the board and differentiated business strategies for each of the core businesses of Air India, are part of the plan.

New Delhi, Jan 9 (PTI): The government is eyeing around USD 1 billion (about Rs 7,000 crore) from the sale of national carrier Air India in the next financial year, a government official said.

T h e g o ve r n m e n t will initiate the process of strategic disinvestment of Air India in the second half of 2019-20 and in between it would work towards selling some of its subsidiaries and monetise assets.

Air India has a debt b u r d e n of Rs 55,000 crore. In November last year, a ministerial panel headed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had approved transferring Rs 29,000 crore debt to a special purpose vehicle (SPV) - Air India Asset Holding Company.

“We are eyeing USD 1 billion from the sale of Air India,” the official told PTI.

It also recommended that the limit for claiming deduction under Section 80C of I-T Act be raised from Rs 1.50 lakh to Rs 2.50 lakh to provide saving opportunities to public at large.

Mumbai, Jan 9 (PTI): The Indian rupee Wednesday extended its losses by another 25 paise to close at 70.46 against the US dollar as continued rise in global crude oil prices weighed on sentiments. The stronger US dollar against major global currencies also put pressure on the domestic currency.

At the Interbank Foreign Exchange, rupee opened on a firm note at 70.08, but soon pared its initial gains and fell to an intraday low of 70.65 against the US dollar. The domestic currency, however, recovered some lost ground and finally settled for the day at 70.46 per dollar, down 25 paise over its previous closing.

On Tuesday, the rupee had plunged by 53 paise to close at 70.21. “Indian rupee depreciated ahead of Sino-American Trade deal statement. Along with the risk-on sentiment and rise in crude oil added pressure on Rupee,” HDFC Securities Head PCG and Capital Markets Strategy V K Sharma said.

New Delhi, Jan 9 (PTI): Industry chamber CII has urged the government to double the income tax exemption threshold to Rs 5 lakh and increase the deduction limit under Section 80C to Rs 2.50 lakh to incentivise savings in the Union Budget to be presented on February 1.

In its pre-Budget recommendations to the finance ministry, the CII also suggested lowering the highest personal income tax slab to 25 per cent from 30 per cent at present and allow exemption for medical expenses and transport allowance.

Currently, income up to Rs 2.5 lakh is exempt from personal income tax. Income between Rs 2.5-5 lakh attracts 5 per cent tax, while that between Rs 5-10 lakh is levied with 20 per cent tax.

Income above Rs 10 lakh is

The World Bank’s estimate suggest that India’s potential growth rate is around seven per cent, and is expected to remain around seven per cent, he said in response to a question.

“The fact is that Indian economy is being able to deliver growth slightly above its potential is a very good sign,” he added.

New Delhi, Jan 9 (PTI): Gold rose for the third straight session Wednesday, gaining Rs 110 to Rs 32,800 per 10 grams on increased buying by jewellers to meet marriage season demand.

Silver prices also spurted by Rs 300 to Rs 40,100 per kg on fresh buying by industrial units and coin makers. Marketmen said, sentiment was upbeat largely supported by continued buying by local jewellers to meet wedding season demand.

However, global cues were negative that limited the rise in the precious metal prices, they said.

Globally, gold traded lower at USD 1,283.20 an ounce and silver fell 0.26 per cent at USD 15.67 an ounce in New York Wednesday.

In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purities rose Rs 110 each to Rs 32,800 and Rs 32,650 per 10 grams, respectively. The yellow metal had risen Rs 190 in the previous two days.

While investment continued to strengthen amid the GST harmonisation and a rebound of credit growth, consumption remained the major contributor to growth,” the World Bank said.

According to the report, India’s GDP is forecast to grow by 7.3 per cent in FY2018/19 and 7.5 per cent thereafter, in line with June forecasts. Private consumption is projected to remain robust and investment growth is expected to continue as the benefits of recent policy reforms begin to materialise and credit rebounds.

Strong domestic demand is envisioned to widen the current account deficit to 2.6 per cent of GDP next year. Inflation is projected to rise somewhat above the midpoint of the Reserve Bank of India’s target range of 2 to 6 per cent, mainly owing to energy and food prices, the bank said.

India registered quite a bit of pick up in doing business ranking. The growth momentum is there (in India),” Kose told PTI. In India, the growth has accelerated, driven by an upswing in consumption, and investment growth has firmed as the effects of temporary factors wane, the World Bank said in its latest report.

Domestic demand has strengthened as the benefits of structural reforms such as the Goods and Services Tax (GST) harmonisation and bank recapitalisation take effect.

Brexit: MPs’ vote piles fresh pressure on May

Kim Jong-un leaves for Pyongyang from Beijing Beijing, Jan 9 (IANS): North Korean leader Kim Jong-un returned home on Wednesday from Beijing by train, concluding a surprise visit that sparked expectation of a second summit with the US on denuclearising the Korean Peninsula.

Kim’s armoured train departed from Beijing at 2.08 p.m., according to South Korea’s Yonhap news agency. The Chinese Foreign Ministry did not confirm the information on Kim’s journey but said it would issue an official press release. Kim is expected to reach the North Korean capital on Thursday, reports Efe news. As on previous occasions, Kim’s agenda has not been made public, but he is reported to have held a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday. Yonhap reported that on Wednesday, Kim visited the facilities of a Chinese traditional medicine firm for close to 30 minutes, after which he had lunch with Xi.

Theresa May

Mr Bercow said he had made an “honest judgement” after consulting his clerks and said that if people wanted to vote against the amendment they could.

MPs, including Commons leader Andrea Leadsom, challenged his ruling in a series of points of order after Prime Minister’s Questions. They argued that the business motion, tabled by the government, was not amendable and said the Speaker was breaking with precedent.

Mr Bercow, who said he was standing up for MPs and Parliament, said MPs would not be able to debate the rebel Tory amendment but would be able to vote on it.

He said he had made his decision after speaking to his clerks but rejected calls from Andrea Leadsom to publish the advice he had received.

The clashes in the Commons came ahead of Theresa May launching a fresh push to convince MPs to back her Brexit deal at the start of five days of debate.

The prime minister cancelled a vote on her deal last month at the last minute to avoid a humiliating defeat.

She is hoping new proposals on Northern Ireland will change enough MPs’ minds to save the deal.

But the DUP have already rejected the plans, saying they are “cosmetic” and “meaningless”.

Israeli former minister pleads guilty of spying Jerusalem, Jan 9 (IANS): A former Israeli minister on Wednesday pleaded guilty to spying on behalf of Iran, six months after his arrest, officials said.

In an announcement to the Jerusalem District Court, the State Attorney’s office said former minister Gonen Segev, 62, signed a plea bargain under which he will serve 11 years in jail, Xinhua news agency reported.

Segev, a former Parliament member with the right-wing party of Tzomet, served as Israel’s Minister of Energy and Infrastructure between 1994 and 1996.

He admitted to “serious espionage” and “providing information to the enemy”, the State Attorney’s office said.

According to Israel’s Shin Bet security service, Segev had met Iranian intelligence officials several times over the past six years, delivering them information.

Trump escalates migrant wall stand-off LONDON, JAN 9 (AGENCIES): US President Donald Trump has made his first TV address to the nation from the Oval Office, escalating a stand-off with Congress that has led to an 18-day partial government shutdown.

Mr Trump insisted on funding for his long-promised US-Mexico border wall.

However, he did not declare an emergency that would enable him to bypass the lower house of Congress now controlled by the opposition Democrats.

Democratic leaders accused him of holding the American people hostage.

The Republican president wants $5.7bn (£4.5bn) to build a steel barrier, which would deliver on his signature campaign pledge.

But Democrats - who recently took control of the House of Representatives are adamantly opposed to giving him the funds.

The ongoing closure of a quarter of federal agencies is the second-longest in history, leaving hundreds of thousands of government workers unpaid.

In an eight-minute ad-

dress on Tuesday night carried live by all the major US television networks, Mr Trump said the federal government remained shut because of the Democrats.

He said of the situation at the border: “This is a humanitarian crisis, a crisis of the heart and a crisis of the soul.” Mr Trump said an asyet-unratified revamp of the

B a g h da d, J a n 9 (Agencies): US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met Iraqi officials, including the speaker, on an unannounced visit to Baghdad on Wednesday, a statement from parliament said.

Pompeo’s talks, on the second leg of a key Middle East tour, come less than two weeks after President Donald Trump drew criticism for failing to meet a single Iraqi official during a surprise Christmas visit to US troops.

According to AFP, the US top diplomat was in the Middle East to urge allies to continue to confront the “significant threats” posed by Iran and jihadists despite Trump’s surprise decision last month to withdraw all US troops from Syria.

Pompeo flew in from Amman and was also due to visit Cairo, Manama, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Riyadh, Muscat and Kuwait City on his longest trip since taking office last

year. During his lightning, top secret visit to Al-Asad Air Base in western Iraq on December 26, Trump spoke with US commanders and a group of about 100 mostly special forces personnel, accompanied by his wife Melania.

A planned meeting with Prime Minister Adel Abdel Mahdi was scrapped and replaced by a phone call, drawing a chorus of criticism, particularly from pro-Iran groups that form a key bloc in parliament.

Trump used the visit

-- his first to US troops in a conflict zone since being elected -- to defend the withdrawal from Syria and declare an end to America’s role as the global “policeman.”

Trump caused a political storm when he announced the pullout, insisting the battle against the Islamic State group had been won, despite continued deadly fighting between US-backed forces and the jihadists for their last bastion in eastern Syria.

TEHRAN, JAN 9 (AGENCIES): Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Wednesday dubbed some US officials “first-class idiots” as he ridiculed them for predicting the collapse of the Islamic Republic.

“Some US officials pretend that they are mad. Of course I don’t agree with that, but they are first-class idiots,” he said in speech in Tehran, quoted on his official Twitter feed. According to AFP, Khamenei was having a dig at US officials who had predicted there would be regime change in

London, Jan 9 (Agencies): Rebel Tory MPs have joined forces with Labour to inflict a fresh blow on Theresa May’s government in a Commons Brexit vote.

It means the government will have to return to Parliament with fresh plans within three days if Mrs May EU withdrawal deal is rejected by MPs next week.

It could also open the door to alternatives, such as a referendum.

The government lost by 11 votes, with 297 MPs voting with them and 308 against. It comes ahead of five days of debate on the PM’s Brexit deal.

Commons Speaker John Bercow faced an angry backlash from some Conservative MPs over his decision to allow MPs to vote on the issue.

The MPs claim Mr Bercow broke Commons rules and ignored the advice of his own clerks.

Margot Robbie to play Barbie in live-action film

M

argot Robbie is to play iconic doll Barbie in a liveaction film.

The star of Suicide Squad, I, Tonya and Mary Queen of Scots will also produce the movie through her production company, LuckyChap Entertainment.

In a statement, Robbie said playing with the doll promoted “confidence, curiosity and communication”.

“I’m so honoured to take on this role that I believe will have a tremendously positive impact on children,” the Australian actress continued.

Robbie, 28, said she could not have imagine “better partners” than Warner Bros and Barbie creator Mattel. The film, which has yet to have a title, a director or a release date, marks the first collaboration between the two US companies.

“Margot is the ideal producer and actress to bring Barbie to life on screen in a fresh and relevant way for today’s audiences.” said Toby Emmerich of Warner

Bros.

Comedian Amy Schumer had previously been cast to play the doll, only to drop out of the project in 2017.

“I’m bummed, but look forward to seeing Barbie on the big screen,” the star of Trainwreck said at the time.

It was rumoured last January that Anne Hathaway was in talks to take over the role.

In October, it was reported that the film, previously a Sony production, would use a “revised” script

by Ocean’s 8 writer Olivia Milch.

The first Barbie doll, made by Mattel, was introduced to the world at the New York Toy Fair in 1959. The character went on to appear in a string of TV shows and animated films, among them the Toy Story movies.

Scandinavian band Aqua famously had a hit in 1997 with their single Barbie Girl, which contained the lyrics: “Life in plastic, it’s fantastic.”

Harendra removed as Indian men’s hockey coach

New Delhi, Jan 9 (PTI): Indian men’s hockey coach Harendra Singh was Wednesday sacked from the position following a disappointing 2018 and offered the task of helming the junior squad by the national federation.

Constant chopping and changing of coaches is a frequent phenomenon in Indian hockey and Harendra, who was appointed in May, is the latest casualty.

“Though the year 2018 was very disappointing for the Indian Men’s Hockey Team with results not going as expected, Hockey India believes investing in the junior program which will reap long-term benefits,” HI said in a statement explaining the reasons behind Harendra’s axing.

The Junior World Cupwinning coach took charge after India’s medal-less showing at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games but was unable to change the team’s fortunes.

India were also belowpar in the Asian Games in Indonesia, settling for a bronze.

Salah voted African Footballer of the Year

Mohamed Salah with the African Footballer of the Year award.

Dakar, Jan 9 (Agencies): Egypt striker Mohamed Salah was voted as the African Footballer of the Year for the second successive year at the Confederation of African Football’s awards ceremony in Dakar on Tuesday.

Salah beat fellow nominees, Liverpool team mate Sadio Mane and Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

He edged the same two players last year in a vote decided by the technical directors and head coaches of 56 CAF member associations.

“This award is very big for me, I love it because I saw it when I was young and

I always had a dream to win it one day,” Salah said when collecting his trophy for his 2018 exploits.

“I’m proud to win it twice, I must thank my family and my team mates, and I dedicate this award to my country, Egypt.”

Salah helped Liverpool reach the 2018 Champions League final but suffered a shoulder injury during the 3-1 defeat by Real Madrid in Kiev.

That injur y raised doubts about his World Cup participation but he regained fitness to represent Egypt in the finals in Russia, scoring twice as they exited in the first round.

The 27-year-old has not won a match in five months after an injury-marred end to 2018 and will also be in Melbourne without a coach after parting ways with Australian mentor Darren Cahill, who can longer commit to Halep due to family reasons.

Bacsinszky rallied from a set down to defeat Stosur 5-7 6-4 6-3 in a seesawing encounter stretching a minute shy of two and a half hours.

Despite Stosur missing out on only a third last-eight place in 12 visits to Sydney, the epic work-out was a perfect warm-up for the Australian Open starting in Melbourne on Monday.

We celebrated two weddings in our family. When your eldest got married we imagined how you would have been so proud walking her down the aisle or when your son got married, how you would have cried tears of joy.

Now, blessed with three grandchildren, we always talk about how much they are like you. God has been so good to us and we surely don't take your absence or His blessings for granted.

And today, we celebrate your absence because we valued your short time with us.

Even in death, you're always present.

League Cup: Spurs beat Chelsea in 1st leg

LO N D O N, Ja n 9 (Agencies): Tottenham Hotspur gained a slender advantage in their League Cup semi-final against London rivals Chelsea as Harry Kane’s penalty earned them a gritty 1-0 first-leg win at Wembley on Tuesday.

Kane’s 26th-minute spot kick, his 160th goal for the club, was awarded after a lengthy, but correct, VAR decision and means Tottenham remain on course to claim their first silverware since winning the League Cup against Chelsea in 2008.

They still have a long way to go, however, and Chelsea will feel confident going into the second leg at Stamford Bridge on Jan. 24 having outplayed their hosts at times.

Maurizio Sarri’s side were twice denied by the woodwork and they dominated the second half as Tottenham dug deep.

Tottenham have now won three consecutive matches against Chelsea for the first time since a run of five between 1961 and 1963, but unlike when they outclassed the Blues in November, winning 3-1 in the Premier League, this was a night for hard graft.

Mauricio Pochettino’s

side began brightly and had a shout for a penalty in the opening minutes when Dele Alli played a magnificent pass through to Son Heung-min who appeared to be knocked off balance

by Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen.

Kane then tested keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga with an acrobatic overhead volley.

VAR, used in various FA Cup ties at the week-

end and most probably in the Premier League next season, has had a mixed reception but the technology proved correct on Tuesday to give Tottenham the edge ahead of the second leg.

There appeared little doubt that Kane was taken out by Arrizabalaga as he rounded the Spanish keeper but referee Michael Oliver initially did not award a penalty as he

checked, firstly whether Kane had been onside in the build-up, and then whether indeed there had been contact.

Eventually Oliver pointed to the spot and produced a yellow card, rather than a red, for Arrizabalaga and Kane drilled his spot kick low into the corner to score for the sixth successive match in all competitions and move above Cliff Jones

into fourth spot on Tottenham’s all-time goalscorers’ list.

“I played to the whistle and nicked it round the keeper, it was a clear penalty. VAR is there for a reason and they got it right,” Kane said.

“Chelsea had a point to prove, they didn’t play well last time they were here. It was important we won the game going into the second leg.”

After going behind Chelsea began to push Tottenham back with youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi a lively presence in midfield and Eden Hazard a constant threat.

N’Golo Kante touched Marcos Alonso’s cross against the post and seconds before the interval Hudson-Odoi’s cross looked as though it might loop over Paulo Gazzaniga before Tottenham’s Argentine keeper clawed it onto the woodwork.

Tottenham were made to suffer after the interval with Chelsea enjoying almost complete control.

Hazard and Kane both forced Gazzaniga into sharp saves while Christensen wasted Chelsea’s best chance when he volleyed tamely wide with the goal at his mercy.
