Rio calls for a future through unity

DIMAPUR, JAN 15 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio Wednesday emphasized on the need for Nagas to build the future in oneness and in harmony. Lamenting that the decades of struggle had prevented Nagas from seeing the other side of peace and development in reality, Rio said it was now time for Nagas to shed all differences, to unite, reconcile, forgive and to forget.

Addressing the 72nd general session of the United Sangtam Students’ Conference (USSC) at Seyochung Village under Kiphire district, Rio said as leaders of tomorrow, students needed to understand Naga history and take up the responsibilities of changing the mindset of the people towards peace, progress and development.

Quoting an adage that a child without education is like a bird without wings, Rio stated that learning is a life-long process and education prepares a child to face the realities of life as it sets one free by giving an individual the power to think, reason, understand, act and also to obey the rule of law.

The chief minister also said that it was time for people to

Bank unions call two-day strike from January 31

KOLKATA, JAN 15 (PTI): Bank unions on Wednesday called for a two-day nationwide strike on January 31 and February 1 after talks over wage revision failed to make headway with the Indian Banks’ Association (IBA). The United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU), which represents nine trade unions, said they will also hold a three-day strike from March 11-13. “From April 1, we have decided to go on an indefinite strike,” UFBU state convenor Siddartha Khan told PTI. UFBU is seeking at least a 15-per cent hike, but the IBA has capped the raise at 12.25 per cent, he said.

“This is not acceptable,” Khan said. The last wage revision meeting was held on January 13.

overcome and shed the tag of backwardness, adding it will only be self-defeating.

Quoting the theme of the Quasqui-centennial celebrations (125 years) of Christianity in Nagaland held November 27-30, 1997-- ‘From Darkness To Light’, Rio acknowledged that the advent of Christianity in Nagaland by EW Clarke was the best thing that happened to the Nagas as it also brought education and for which Nagas are where we are today because of it.

“So, as students, you have to obey your parents, your teachers, and you have to focus on the Christian teachings and values so that we can get quality and real education,” he added.

On Naga political issue, Rio said Nagas were at a crucial juncture as negotiations between the negotiating parties had successfully concluded on October 31, 2019. Towards this end, Rio pointed out that all 60 legislators under the banner of the Joint Legislators Forum on the Naga Political Issue had joined hands to facilitate the peace process for any early settlement.

“We hope that we will

unite and bring settlement for peace and development of our State and to get the opportunities for the youth to pursue their goals and their dreams. This is our dream, this is our hope and I feel that if we unite, we can achieve this in a few months’ time. We have hope in our youth that you will realise the importance of peace and live in harmony with ourselves and with our neighbours,” Rio said.

Citing the example of Japan post WWII, Rio said the Japanese were focused on economic policies and have become one of the economic superpowers of the world.

Therefore, he said Nagas should also need to seriously think and be committed to work so that the

KOLKATA, JAN 15 (PTI): The Army has decided to withdraw “some” troops from insurgency-affected states in the North East and move them to barracks as violence in the region has come down drastically, Eastern Army commander Lt. Gen. Anil Chauhan said here on Wednesday.

He said the decision was taken in view of an improvement in the situation in the insurgency-hit states.

Talking to reporters here after a wreath-laying ceremony on Army Day at Fort William, Lt. Gen. Chauhan said at least two battalions have been withdrawn from eastern Assam in view of an improved situation there and sent to the barracks.

He said the situation in Nagaland and Manipur was “far better than what it was in 2018, 2017 or previous years.” “ Ke e p i n g t h e i m proved security situation in view, the Army has decided to withdraw some troops from the active counterinsurgency grid and move them to barracks,” he said.

KOHIMA, JAN 15 (NPN): Taking serious note of the casual attitude of most State government employees evident in poor attendance even after two weeks since resumption of offices in New Year, chief secretary Temjen Toy has called for strict maintenance of casual leave records at all offices, starting from the State secretariat to the district and sub-divisional offices.

Addressing administrative heads of departments (AHoDs) and heads of departments (HoDs) at the secretariat’s conference hall here on Wednesday, the CS lashed out at the government employees stating that most of them served their own interests, evident from the fact that more than 75-80 cabinet agenda pertained to service matters, be it promotion or upgrade of posts, that spoke volumes of their priority. Pointing out that many senior government officials were not attending offices even after two weeks of resumption of offices, he said the responsibility lay with the senior officers, adding unless an officer himself/

post stopped nine trucks loaded with the smuggled timber (fanta), travelling from Kohima to Dimapur.

During the spot check of the vehicles, 3,600 cubic feet (cft) of Burma teak was recovered.

Nineteen persons accompanying these trucks

were also apprehended.

The recovered teak and the apprehended individuals have been handed over to East Police Station, Dimapur for further investigations. This was stated in a press release by PRO (defence) Lt Col Sumit K Sharma.

DIMAPUR, JAN 15(NPN): Rajya Sabha MP, K.G. Kenye who attracted the ire of his party-NPF- for voting in favour of the CAB in parliament, has come out with a lengthy statement to explain why he chose to go against his party’s decision.

It may be recalled that Kenye resigned as secretary general of NPF and later the party’s Disciplinary Action Committee (DAC) suspended him from the membership of the party though keeping him still under the whip of the party.

In his statement, Kenye said he extended “issued-based support” for CAB after the BJP-led NDA had assuaged the fears of the north east states about threat to the demography of indigenous citizens by inserting protective “provisions” as incorporated and redrafted in the CAB on December 9 as placed in the Rajya Sabha on December 11,2019.

According to Kenye, the earlier Citizenship Act 1955 did not subject or make it binding the provisions of ILP(BEFR 1873) on all citizens of India under “Restrictions and Conditions” .

herself was disciplined, he or she could not expect the subordinates to be regular and punctual.

Toy observed that it had become “optional” for the government employees to attend offices, adding one would not be able to serve the people such an attitude.

He cautioned that unless the employees became amenable to rules, there was no future.

The CS remarked that government servants thought they were on a higher pedestal and did not shoulder responsibilities that had actually been entrusted on them. He said senior officers had no moral authority to impose discipline on their subordinates when they themselves were setting bad

examples. Under the present circumstances, he said it was embarrassing to even call oneself a public servant and directed all departments to strictly implement “no work, no pay” for erring employees.

Referring to the pathetic maintenance of public property, including toilets in offices, which indicated scant regard, Toy regretted that government servants were expected to uphold the rule of law but they were running away from their basic responsibilities.

It may be mentioned that even after two weeks into the New Year, many State government offices remain empty, and the few who attend are seen leaving as early as 1 p.m.

This was stated by principal director (PD) school education Shanavas C during a two-day workshop for Shaala Siddhi external evaluators at SIRD conference hall here Wednesday.

The PD said teachers dairies would be distributed from this session where every teacher would have to paste his or her photograph and maintain daily routine, activities, lesson plan, num“You’re naive to think ber of students, monthly that check on highway examination and names of extortions also include students scoring more than our ‘incentives’.”

economy can be developed to become self-reliant and self-dependent. Lamenting that many were only after getting government jobs, forgetting about business and entrepreneurship, Rio said it was imperative for Nagas to take up all forms of jobs, as many would remain jobless once outsiders dominate these sectors.

He therefore encouraged the youth to commit themselves and take up private entrepreneurship to bring about a vibrant, selfreliant economy.

“You’re the future. You will take our place. You will become the leaders of our people and unless you have the preparedness to face the realities of life, we will perish. Even if we don’t like, outsiders will come and work and we will have no future...” he added.

DC Kiphire Sarita Yadav, in her brief speech, urged upon the students to focus on their responsibilities and study hard in order to become responsible citizens. As youths are the harbingers of change, Yadav said the contributions of youths were very much needed for the betterment of (Cont’d on p-7) society.

Withdrawal of some troops from NE likely

any official going for inspection could check the dairy and rectify lapses, if any.

He exuded confidence that officials would cooperate in this regard and ensure changes and improvement in school education. He also mentioned that to maintain accountability and transparency, DoSE would now dispatch Mid Day Meal (MDM) packets with stickers mentioning allocation as per student enrolment, and the sticker would be pasted in notice boards so that any violation could be brought to the notice of the directorate.

He remarked that the public perception that private institutions provided better facilities and education than government schools was the department officials’ own creation, and stressed that they must now take the responsibility of correcting that image. Shanavas said if the district officials could

bring all teachers and make them teach, the scene would greatly improve, but regretted that no one was bothered to measure performances of students in internal exams nor analysed elementary level and hence good results could not be expected.

Observing that majority of Nagas lived in villages that had village councils and village education committees (VEC), PD said VECs and village council chairmen needed to ensure proper functioning of the schools.

Admitting that there was no proper mechanism to check proxy teachers and absenteeism, he, however, said checking and monitoring system would be introduced soon.

In his keynote address, assistant mission director Samagra Shiksha Liyalo Apon said the objective of Shaala Siddhi was to ensure that school evaluation contributed to improvement of

learners outcomes through improved school practices.

Apon explained that National Programme on School Standards and Evaluation (NPSSE) visualised school evaluation as the means and school improvement as the goal, evaluating an individual school and its performance in a holistic and continuous manner leading to school improvement in an incremental manner.

Apon said the objectives of NPSSE were to develop a technically-sound conceptual framework, methodology, instrument and process of school evaluation to suit the diversity of Indian schools, besides developing a critical mass of human resource for adaptation and contextualisation of the school evaluation framework and practices.

The programme was chaired by DMD Samagra Shiksha Timothy Thong.

He also said the ILP (BEFR 1873) did not ensure permanent extension and coverage in referred tribal areas(Nagaland) and could be scrapped by mere notification/memo/order from the union government. Kenye said the earlier ILP-BEFR 1873, could be challenged in any court of law that could drag on to the Supreme Court. However he said last-minute change to the CAB 2019 came after a meeting with Nagaland team on December 3,2019 for incorporating Inner Line Permit (BEFR 1873) as Sec.6 B Clause 1-4 as tabled in the Lok Sabha on December 9,2019.

According to Kenye the above Section 6B clause 4 in the CAB 2019 (redrafted on December 9,2019) provides total coverage and constitutional guarantee to tribal areas of Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram or Tripura and to areas covered under ILP (BEFR 1873). Kenye said the above redrafted CAB was passed by both houses of parliament to become an Act in the constitution of India.

needed for NPR: MHA

NEW DELHI, JAN 15 (PTI): Amid concerns expressed by opposition parties and states like West Bengal on the National Population Register (NPR), the Home Ministry Wednesday said no documents will be asked or biometric taken while updating the register.

A form carrying questions as part of NPR exercise will be finalised soon, ministry officials said. They said “no papers will be asked” and “no biometrics will be taken” during the exercise.

However, the information available on website of the office of Registrar General and Census Commissioner, the NPR database would contain demographic as well as biometric details.

“The objective of the NPR is to create a comprehensive identity database of every usual resident in the country. The database would contain demographic as well as biometric particulars,” it said. The ministry officials said most of the states have notified provisions related to NPR. NPR is a register of usual residents of the country. It is being prepared at the local (village/ sub-town), subdistrict, district, state and national levels under provisions of the Citizenship Act, 1955 and the Citizenship (Registration of Citizens and Issue of National Identity Cards) Rules, 2003.

The rules have a provision for fine of up to Rs 1,000 on those violating it.

The Union Cabinet has approved Rs 3,941.35 crore for the NPR exercise.

Manipur fake encounter case: Court orders re-investigation Correspondent IMPHAL, Jan 15: CBI’s SIT was on Wednesday directed to re-investigate into yet another alleged extra-judicial killing case.

The court of Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM), Thoubal directed the CBI/ SIT to re-investigate into the death of a civilian in firing by the security force in February 1, 2007 while returning the final and closure report.

Ningthoujam Thapchao, a civilian was killed in an alleged open firing by personnel of 172 battalion of border Security Force (BSF) then posted at Nongpok Sekmai Primary Health Centre campus in Thoubal district.

The case was among 81 of the 1,528 alleged extra-judicial cases which SIT of CBI has been investigating following a directive of the Supreme Court.

On the ground of want of evidence of the death of civilian in the firing by security personnel, the SIT had submitted the final and closure report to the court of CJM Thoubal on March 13, 2019.

Family of the victim civilian filed a protest petition against the final and closure report of the SIT to the same court for which the hearing was held today.

The court directed the CBI/SIT for further investigation into the case.

CBI has been investigating into 81 cases of fake encounter cases by constituting SIT in July

2017 following a directive of the Supreme Court after a Public Interest Litigation sought investigation of 1,528 cases of alleged extra-judicial killings in Manipur.

The SIT is investigating into cases of alleged extra-judicial cases by lodging necessary FIRs. The cases include 32 probed by a commission of enquiry, 32 cases investigated by judicial enquires and high courts, 11 cases in which compensation has been awarded by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and six cases probed by a commission headed by former Supreme Court judge Justice Santosh Hedge.

Even as SIT had submitted charge-sheets of some of the cases in recent times, the investigating team had also submitted final and closure report of some of the cases.

Wednesday’s hearing was the second time CBI/SIT submitted its final and closure report on the ground of want of evidence but court returned it with a direction to re-investigate into the case.

On January 10, Court of CJM, Imphal East had also returned a final and closure report submitted by CBI/SIT regarding death of two civilians in firing by CRPF personnel at Pangei Bazar under Heingang police station of Imphal East district on April 9, 2004.

The court directive was acting on a protest petition filed by the families of the victims.

Shillong, Jan 15 (PTI): Three new species of tiny frogs have been discovered in Arunachal Pradesh’s Lower Subansiri district by scientists of Zoological Survey of India, according to a recently published journal. The frogs are so small in size that one can sit on a coin, ZSI scientist Bhaskar Saikia told PTI. The new species discovered from Talle Valley Wildlife Sanctuary (WLS) have been named as ‘Liurana himalayana’, ‘Liurana indica’ and ‘Liurana minuta’, he said. The specimens of the new frog species were collected by Bikramjit Sinha, another scientist of ZSI in Itanagar during 2015-16 as part of the documentation of faunal diversity in the protected area.

A study, co-authored

A I Z AW L , J A N 1 5 ( AGENCIES): Over 200 teachers and students of Mizoram University (MZU) on Wednesday staged a peaceful demonstration in protest against the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) attack, reports Northeast Now news.

They expressed solidarity with the students and teachers of JNU, who were assaulted by a group of masked miscreants on January 5.

The demonstration was held in the university campus at Tanhril on the

and places of higher learning all over the country.

Through the statement, the organizations also urged all the citizens concerned to refrain from unleashing violence in universities and institutes of higher learning and also from intellectual disintegration.

At least 35 people were injured when a masked mob entered the JNU campus on January 5 evening and attacked the teachers and left-leaning students of the university.

The injured students and teachers were admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and later discharged on recovery.

Meanwhile, Delhi police have identified a masked woman seen in videos of the January 5 attack on JNU students and faculty members as Komal Sharma, a Delhi University student affiliated to the ABVP. Many students and faculty members, who were attacked on January 5 alleged that the ‘masked goons’ were ABVP members.

anti-Sikh riots: Accepted SIT ‘Hanging of 4 Nirbhaya convicts not on Jan 22’ 1984 recommendations, Centre tells SC its logical conclusion.

It said the petitioner ought to have brought the subsequent events to the notice of the trial court or ought to have moved the apex court, which had finally confirmed the death sentence and also dismissed his curative petition.

“We feel this is a stratagem devised on how to prolong the matter, since you had time since May 5, 2017, when the apex court dismissed their appeals, to move a mercy plea or file a review or curative petition.

Why did you wait till now?

What restrained you from doing so? What prevented you?

“The intent of the law is to give you reasonable amount of time to approach the court. Your time started ticking from May 5, 2017.

Even after October 29, 2019 (when first notice was sent to the convicts informing them they can move mercy plea), you did nothing. You cannot wait for the co-convicts pleas to be decided, to move the courts,” the bench said.

The prison authorities said that under the rules, they will have to wait for the mercy plea to be decided before executing the death warrant.

In response to this submission, the court said “put your house in order”.

“Your house is in disar-

ray. The problem is people will lose confidence in the system. Things are not moving in the right direction.

The system is capable of being exploited and we see a stratagem to exploit the system, which is oblivious about it.”

Mehra submitted that the January 22 date for execution was “academic” since if no decision is taken till noon of January 21 on the mercy plea, then prison authorities have to move the sessions court for a fresh death warrant.

If mercy plea is rejected after January 22, then also a fresh death warrant has to be sought from trial court in respect of all the convicts, he said.

Besides pulling up the prison authorities, the court expressed displeasure at the delay in filing curative and mercy pleas by Mukesh after the Supreme Court in May 2017 dismissed the appeals of the four convicts against their conviction and death sentence.

The bench ticked off the prison authorities for the delay on their part in communicating to the convicts to move their mercy pleas after their appeals were dismissed by the apex court.

The prison authorities had only on October 29 and December 18 last year issued notices to the convicts to move their mercy pleas.

NEW DELHI, JAN 15 (PTI): The four death row convicts in the Nirbhaya gangrape-murder case will not be hanged on January 22 as scheduled with the Delhi government on Wednesday telling the High Court that the execution has to be postponed in view of the pendency of a mercy petition by one of them.

As authorities and the victim’s mother contended that the four men were “frustrating” and “intentionally” delaying the legal process by filing curative and mercy pleas in stages to postpone their execution, the Delhi government recommended rejecting Mukesh Kumar Singh’s mercy plea to the President and forwarded it to the Lieutenant Governor. Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia told reporters that the action was taken at “lightning speed”.

The high court pulled up the authorities, saying there has been no application of mind and that the system is suffering from cancer in response to the submission that as per prison rules they have to wait for the other co-convicts to exhaust their mercy pleas as well. The court made the remarks while declining to hear the plea by Mukesh challenging the death warrant.

The high court said there is no error in the trial

court’s order, adding challenging the order before it amounted to playing one court against another.

The Delhi government and Tihar jail authorities told a bench of Justices Manmohan and Sangita Dhingra Sehgal that under the prison rules, if death sentence has been awarded to more than one person in a case and if one of them moves a mercy plea, the execution of the others too has to be postponed till the plea is decided.

“Then your rule is bad if you cannot take action till all the co-convicts have moved a mercy plea. It seems there has been nonapplication of mind (while framing the rules). The system is suffering from cancer,” the bench told Delhi government standing counsel (criminal) Rahul Mehra in response to his submission.

Besides Mukesh, 32, Vinay Sharma (26), Akshay Kumar Singh (31) and Pawan Gupta (25) were to

Earlier, in March last year, the top court had granted two more months to the SIT to complete its probe into 186 riot cases after the SIT informed it that more than 50 per cent of work was done and it wanted two more months to complete the investigation.

Large-scale riots targeting members of Sikh community had broken out in the national capital in the aftermath of the assassination of the then prime minister Indira Gandhi by her two Sikh security guards on the morning of October 31, 1984. Violence had claimed 2,733 lives in Delhi alone.

NEW DELHI, JAN 15 (PTI): Army chief Gen M M Naravane on Wednesday hailed the abrogation of provisions of Article 370 as a “historic step” and said the move has disrupted plans of the “western neighbour and its proxies”.

The armed forces have “zero tolerance against terrorism”, he said at the 72nd Army Day function in the Cariappa Parade Ground here.

“We have many options to counter those who promote terrorism and we will not hesitate to use them,” he said.

On August 5 last year, the Centre abrogated provisions of Article 370 that gave special powers to Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcated the state into two union territories.

“The report suggests that some action should be taken against police officials as they were in connivance.

These police officials cannot go scot free. We will file a response to the report,” Suri told the bench and added that he will also file an application seeking action against police officials.

The bench was informed by Mehta that the records of these cases are kept in the apex court registry and they should be returned to the CBI so that further proceedings can go on.

The bench directed that the records be given to the Ministry of Home Affairs.

NEW DELHI, JAN 15 (PTI): Expelled BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar Wednesday moved the Delhi High Court challenging his conviction and life term for raping a minor girl in Unnao in 2017.

Kuldeep Singh Sengar challenged the December 20 verdict of a trial court here which had sentenced him to life imprisonment and had imposed an exemplary fine of Rs 25 lakh in the case.

The court had convicted Sengar for rape under the Indian Penal Code and the POCSO Act for offence by a public servant committing penetrative sexual assault against a child after holding the victim to be a minor.

The woman was kidnapped and raped by Sengar in 2017 when she was a minor.

The trial which started on August 5 last year after it was transferred from Unnao in Uttar Pradesh to Delhi on the Supreme Court’s directions, was carried on a day-to-day basis and completing it within 45-days.

The bench while declining to entertain Mukesh’s plea gave him liberty to challenge the death warrant in a sessions court.

Mukesh later approached the court, seeking postponement of the date of his execution on the grounds that his mercy petition is pending with the President.

The plea was mentioned before Additional Sessions Judge Satish Kumar Arora who issued notice to the state and parents of the victim for Thursday.

The high court said it was of the opinion that once the Supreme Court dismissed Mukesh’s criminal appeal, review plea and curative petition and confirmed his death sentence, he cannot challenge the January 7 death warrant before the high court as the order did nothing but carry the apex court’s decision to

NEW DELHI, JAN 15 (PTI): The Centre Wednesday told the Supreme Court they have accepted the recommendations of a special investigation team (SIT), headed by retired Delhi High Court judge Justice S N Dhingra which has probed 186 cases of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, and they will take appropriate action as per the laws.

A bench headed by Chief Justice S A Bobde was informed by senior advocate R S Suri, appearing for the petitioner, that the report of the SIT is damning for police officials and they would file application seeking action against the cops who were allegedly involved in the ghastly crime.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, told the bench that they have accepted the recommendations made in the report and they will take appropriate steps.

“We have accepted the recommendations and we will act accordingly as per law. Lot of steps are required to be taken and it will be taken,” Mehta told the bench, also comprising Justices B R Gavai and Surya Kant.

During the hearing, Suri referred to the SIT’s report and said the “undercurrent is that police officials cant go scot-free for

CAA divides opposition

I

f the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) was described by Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi as “divisive”; it sprang back, when the allparty meeting of opposition parties she convened on January 13 in New Delhi exposed the inherent “divisive” tendency within the opposition ranks itself.

The January 13 meeting of opposition parties was to deliberate on the current political situation arising out of the controversial CAA and NRC following widespread protests and the violence on campuses.

The major opposition parties which skipped the meeting included - BSP, AAP TMC and Congress ally in Tamil Nadu, DMK though representatives of 20 other parties attended. What the boycott by six opposition parties appear to indicate, is that ‘unity’ vis-a-vis BJP is unlikely. Leaders like Mamata don’t want to be seen as being under any other party, least of all the Congress. Mamata is sour with the violence unleashed by the Left and the Congress during the 24-hour general strike on January 8.

The DMK is reportedly upset with the state Congress leaders for criticizing it in the media. The Aam Aadmi Party, too, has decided not to attend the meeting, presumably in face of Delhi elections next month where it is pitted against the BJP and the Congress. BSP chief Mayawati has boycotted the meet because the Congress in Rajasthan had poached all the six BSP legislators. The reasons, whether justifiable or not, has also shown how fragile the opposition unity. The disunity within a disparate group that wants to take on a tried, tested and proven prowess of the BJP juggernaut is at best, plain as day dreaming. Mayawati will never agree to be seen sharing the same platform with the Congress and the same for Mamata Banerjee (TMC), Arvind Kejriwal (AAP) and K. Chandrasekhar Rao (TRS). The fate of any Congress-led opposition or even a Congress-sponsored opposition unity will likely never see the light of day. A major part of the problem is that the Congress leadership is at best ad-hoc which has swung like a pendulum between the mother and son. With Sonia back as a stop-gap president the party has only exposed the desperation, rudderlessness and confusion within the party.

That’s why even previous allies like RJD and NCP are making it clear that their support should not be taken for granted. Sonia, who is beholden to the old coterie of unelectable ‘advisers’ is on ad-hoc tenure.

She is up against Rahul’s young Turks who see themselves as the gen-next of the party and is in no mood to widen the chasm within. The opposition at the January 13 meeting, have sensed the emerging youth power in the form of massive nationwide anti-CAA protests. They want to harness the youth power by wining them over. That is why the Congress and opposition leaders are scrambling to be seen with protestors in opposing the CAA and proposed nationwide NRC. It will be naive on the part of the opposition to think that the youth will be willing to become their political foot soldiers. The youth are allergic to dynastic politics, personality cults, corrupt leaders, which almost all political parties have in plenty. What is more, the youth want a credible, clean and inspiring leader who has a pan-India image and that is a tall order for now.

DailyDevotion Do You Walk In White?

We were buried with Him…that just as Christ was raised from the dead…even so we also should walk in newness of life. —Romans 6:4 No one experiences complete sanctification without going through a “white funeral” — the burial of the old life. If there has never been this crucial moment of change through death, sanctification will never be more than an elusive dream. There must be a “white funeral,” a death with only one resurrection— a resurrection into the life of Jesus Christ. Nothing can defeat a life like this. It has oneness with God for only one purpose— to be a witness for Him. Have you really come to your last days? You have often come to them in your mind, but have you really experienced them? You cannot die or go to your funeral in a mood of excitement. Death means you stop being. You must agree with God and stop being the intensely striving kind of Christian you have been. We avoid the cemetery and continually refuse our own death. It will not happen by striving, but by yielding to death. It is dying— being “baptized into His death” (Romans 6:3).

Have you had your “white funeral,” or are you piously deceiving your own soul? Has there been a point in your life which you now mark as your last day? Is there a place in your life to which you go back in memory with humility and overwhelming gratitude, so that you can honestly proclaim, “Yes, it was then, at my ‘white funeral,’ that I made an agreement with God.” “This is the will of God, your sanctification…” (1 Thessalonians 4:3). Once you truly realize this is God’s will, you will enter into the process of sanctification as a natural response. Are you willing to experience that “white funeral” now? Will you agree with Him that this is your last day on earth? The moment of agreement depends on you.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 2020

My Dear fellow Citizens of Nagaland, As your M.P in the Upper House (Rajya Sabha) in the Parliament of India, you deserve an explanation from me over the controversy surrounding the latest Amendment to the Citizenship Act of 1955 which has caused a storm in the public domain in the State of Nagaland and the Region. For want of completing Party formalities and the resultant misfortune, I profoundly regret the delay in reaching-out to you in time. In the following pages, with no legal background I wish to explain and share with you in my simple layman’s language certain facts of history and the realities underlining this contentious issue while reflecting on the background also dwelling on the present situation and the scope of the future as a consequence of this Bill. As the matter involves our over-all interest I seek to draw your fullest attention and consideration.

What is Citizenship Amendment Bill 2016 (Citizenship Amendment Act 2019)?

The Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 is the latest Amendment to the Citizenship Act of 1955 (referred to as the Principal Citizenship Act of 1955). The main object of the CAA 2019 is to grant Citizenship to the refugees who have entered and settled in India on or before the 31st of December 2014 from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh belonging to the 6 minority religions such as- Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi, and Christian who are seeking shelter in India which is secular and free for all religions. The illegal immigrants have fled from these three countries because they are tortured and persecuted in their own countries which are Theophoric States/ Nations with ISLAM declared in their Constitutions as the National Religion. The Illegal Bangladesh Immigrants (IBI) refugees issue has dogged the NE States for many decades especially since 1971 but no successive govt at the Centre has shown the political will to resolve this problem despite the Assam Accord of 1985. When finally, this decision was taken, it will naturalise a huge bulk of population which have snowballed into a mass protest by the people of this region.

Apprehensions: The reason

F

Kenye on why he voted for CAB

for opposing the granting of citizenship to the Refugees through an Amendment Act of the original CAB 2016 and CAB 8th January 2019 are varied and many, differing from State to State. But for the Indigenous tribal populations of the North-East Region, the reason is mainly the fear of population over-run meaning a demographic invasion upon their territorial land, socio-cultural heritage, customary practises, lingual, racial and religious practises, Economic and political exploitations and their very existence as a people. The fears are genuine and the threat is compounded now by taking–in more citizens. The tribal indigenous population is very sparse and low with a national census percentage of 2.5 as maximum in the entire N.E Region. This being a fact, the British Empire in India had closely guarded the interest of the land and the people of this Tribal Area as far back as the 19th Century with Regulations like the Inner-Line Permit which prohibited All citizens of India from entering into the Naga Hills and other tribal Areas long before we were aware of the dangers surrounding us. Very strict provisions were promulgated imposing heavy penalty and imprisonment for violation of the Restrictive Laws of Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation of 1873. Other protective laws may exist for other aspects of the tribal life but to check the influx of Demographic invasion (population inflow) by the swarming millions from neighbouring mainland India, there was never such a Law so effective and providing an overall protective shield over the centuries. Today in the face of this threat looming over our heads we once again have to take refuge under this defensive structure.

Therefore, the reason behind our opposition and protest against the proposed original CAB of 2016 up to the 8th of December 2019 was that this Bill does not provide any protective Section or clause to shield us against the influx of Illegal Bangladesh Immigrants (IBI) and the neighbouring mainland citizens of India.

Background of Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation, 1873 (Inner Line Permit) The history of Inner Line Permit (ILP) Regulation traces

back its concepts and origin to the British Parliament, when the then Prime Minister (1855 -1865) Henry John Temple the 3rd Lord Palmerston declared in a very clear and determined statement to the Parliament “It is not only our duty.....but in our interest to promote the diffusion of Christianity as far as possible throughout the length and breadth of India”.

Re-enforcing the obvious intension behind the British policy, the Secretary of States Lord Halifax observed “Every additional Indian Christian is an additional bond of Union and a source of strength to the British Empire” Emphasising more precisely on the value they placed in this policy- Sir Mac Worth Young stated “They (Christians) are worth far more to the British Empire than all those civil servants, soldiers, judges and governors of India”!

Such reiteration of Great Britain’s will to propagate Christianity in British-India must have been necessary since their campaign had not evoked satisfactory result which was undertaken since 1813 in the rest of India. Prompting a more focused and systematic approach towards certain Identified Regions as the “Thrust Areas” beyond the demarcated Inner-Line they carved out the Indigenous Tribal Areas as a Reserved Zone.

Despite the strict Prohibitory Rules the American Missionaries were continuously encouraged and a Free Passage was given to them throughout the 19th and 20th Centuries finally accomplishing their set goals. And the rest is history for which we are ever grateful to the Almighty GOD. Therefore the stand taken by leading statesman of the world’s mightiest Empire of their times conceptualized an essentially Religious policy which soon found expressions in the birth of the ILP of Bengal Eastern Frontiers Regulation on the 1st of November 1873 in British–India under the Governor General Lord North Brook and the Lt. Governor of Bengal Province Mr.George Campbell.

After this Regulation was published in the Gazette of India and the preamble published in the Calcutta Gazette it will there upon have “the Force of Law” under the provision of Act 33rd of Victoria Chapter 3.

In the 1st Category of the Local Extend “Naga Hills” is mentioned prominently and later by notification under the Scheduled District Acts 1874 XIV Section 5 it was extended to several indigenous Tribal Areas of the present North-Eastern Region (part I, page 529. 1873) The provisions of Inner Line Permit Regulations were strictly enforced upon “All citizens of India” or any class of such citizens (meaning even British who were citizens of India) were prohibited from entering the Inner – Line Areas. This implies that the ILP was exclusively and categorically meant to restrict all Citizens of Indian (2nd Page – Para II of Regulation 5 of 1873). Even if granted an ILP, the Rules were extremely harsh as seen in 5 (1) “ Any rubber, wax, or other jungle products or any Books, Diary, Manuscript, Maps, picture, photograph, film, curio or Article of Religious or scientific interest unless permitted by the British-India authority will be confiscated by the Magistrate and even partly written scripts were a violation of the Regulations inside the Inner Line Areas.

Provision No.7 states “ It shall not be Lawful for any person other than a native (local) of the notified District comprised in the preamble of this Regulation, to acquire any interest in land (buy land) or the product of land inside the Inner-Line without the sanction of the Authority (State Govt.)”

From the aforementioned provisions of the ILP Regulations and the Penalties imposed for violators, it is clear that this served as the strongest tool in safe-guarding and protecting our over-all interest especially in the religious, social, lingual and cultural aspects preserving our identity as a people to survive with our ethos in all aspect of life and it shielded us like a floodgate against the demographic invasion from the swarming millions of mainland India which certainly would have marginalised our population to an abject minority which in a democracy will mean complete dominance of the political powers by strangers in our own land.

All these dangers were lurking around us long before we realised our precarious situation, when the

ILP Regulations was silently and stoutly defending us through-out the British-India period.

Coincidently, though the driving force was motivated for diffusion of Christianity, the ILP Regulation of 1873 can be rightly attributed as the strongest factor which has shielded and protected the Naga society very effectively ever since its inception up to 1946.

The turning point for the ILP emerged when India achieved her Independence in 1947 and started to frame her own new Constitution where the legal standing and Constitutional position of the ILP was completely compromised, weakened and displaced as the ILP BEF Regulation was never incorporated into the Principal Citizenship Act of 1955 which is a Restrictive Law exclusively and categorically to prohibit all citizens of India and also the British citizens living in India during that period. This affected a paradigm shift in the effective strength and powers of the ILP Regulation reducing it to a mere Notification/Memo/Order at the whim and wishes of the Central/Union Government of India which can be scrapped overnight. Thereby, placing our only protective shield at the mercy of a Union Cabinet decision which will not fall within the purview of the Parliament.

Thus, the two important essences went missing in the new Constitution of India:(1) In the Citizenship Act of 1955 where the citizens of India were given their Rights and Privileges and also the Restrictions and Conditions, the Restriction on all citizens of India to not thoroughfare into the ILP Areas was not incorporated thereby not subjecting and binding the provision of BEFR of 1873 on the citizens of India And, (2) The extension and coverage of the ILP Regulation with specific reference to the territories and Tribal Areas has never been reflected or incorporated in any Act of the Constitution which underwent the Enactment of Parliament thereby, rendering the ILP Regulation’s coverage purely on a temporary basis. Meaning it can be withdrawn or scrapped overnight.

dor, pomp and ceremony that only make the longing of the sin-sick soul is an evidence of inward corruption. Brilliancy of style is not necessarily an index of pure elevated thoughts.

The pomp and ceremony of the present day church worship has seductive bewitching power by which many are deceived. Though in the different form idolatry exist in the church world today as verily as it existed among the ancient Israel I the days of Elijah. The god of many professedly wise men, of philosophers, poets, politicians—the god of polished fashionable circle, of many colleges and universities, even of some theological institution is little better than Baal, the sun god of Phoenicia. Thousands who pride themselves upon the wisdom regard it as an evidence of weakness to place implicit confidence in the Bible; they think it a proof of superior talent and learning to cavil at the scripture and to spiritualize and explain away their most important truth.

Popular revivals are too often carried by appeals to

the imagination, by exciting the emotions, by gratifying the love for what is new and startling. Converts thus gained have little desire to listen to the word of God, little interest in the testimony of saints. Unless a religious service has something of a sensational character, it has no attraction for them. The converts do not renounce their pride and love of the world. They are no more willing to deny self, to take up the cross and follow the meek and lowly Jesus, than before they are born again.

Religion has become the sports of the infidels and skeptics because so many who bear its name are ignorant of the principles..

The power of the gospel has well-nigh departed from the church. Tours, church theatricals, church fairs, fine houses, personal display, have banished thought of God. Land and goods and worldly occupations engross the minds, and things of the eternal interest receive hardly a passing notice.

Wake up from the spiritual slumber.

Reader’s Post Sir,

A kind gesture

Today, a young man gave my wife and I a lift near the airport junction even as we struggled to hail an auto. Seeing that we were a decent couple and elderly he must have taken pity and gave us a lift in his nice car. We were apprehensive but he showed his aadhar card and driver’s license to put us at ease. I wish there were more young people like him around.

way not to be disruptive, it Mayawati demands new CAA after consultation ‘India’s is decider rather than abstainer’

LUCKNOW, JAN 15 (PTI): BSP chief Mayawati on Wednesday urged the Centre to withdraw the amended citizenship law and seek consensus to bring in a new one, even as she lashed out at both BJP and Congress for being “two sides of the same coin”.

She accused the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government at the Centre of not taking others into confidence before bringing in the Citizen Amendment Bill (CAB). “That’s why, there is an in outcry the country,” Mayawati told reporters at a press conference here on her 64th birthday.

“The BSP had been repeatedly urging the Centre to first send the CAB to the Standing Committee, so that it becomes an absolutely correct law,” she said.

Accusing the Centre of stubbornness, she said the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) at first glance appears to be divisive and unconstitutional.

Mayawati accused the BJP and the opposition Congress of playing “dirty politics”. “For the past some time, political parties are accusing each other of spreading lies and indulging in

dirty politics, in which the BJP and the Congress are ahead of the others,” she said.

“Our party does not indulge in dirty politics on the basis of lies. I am saying this today as on the foundation day of the Congress last month, it was said that barring the Congress, other opposition parties in UP are not raising their voice against the NRC and the CAA,” Mayawati said, also referring to the criticism of the National Register of Citizens.

“This is a baseless allegation as, when the Union Cabinet approved the CAB, I was the first to register a protest. At that time, the

Congress and most other parties were silent on it.

Their silence was broken when the Bill was tabled in Parliament,” she said.

“Our party opposed it in both Houses of Parliament,” she added.

The amended law allows an easier route to citizenship for Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Christians, Parsis and Jains who entered India from three neighbouring countries before 2015 after facing religious persecution.

Muslims don’t figure in the list.

“It is not that Muslims in neighbouring countries, including Pakistan, are not oppressed by their governments. Crime and atrocities

can happen against anyone.

Hence, the Centre should reconsider the CAA, withdraw it, and bring a new law after consensus,” Mayawati said. She called the BSP a disciplined party which holds peaceful protests only after taking permission from the authorities.

“It does not indulge in dirty politics like other political parties. Strong action is initiated on anyone going against the party line on this issue,” she said, in an apparent distancing from the street protests in Uttar Pradesh over the CAA. The BSP leader claimed there is an atmosphere of fear and tension, adding that the country faced a similar situation during the Congress rule.

“The current BJP government, like the Congress, is misusing its power for its personal and political interest, and it seems that the country’s democracy and the constitutional system are under pressure,” she said.

“Today our country is in the headlines for wrong and negative reasons. This is an issue of national concern,” she said.

“The Congress party and Company are trying to

derive political mileage by taking advantage of the failure of the BJP government,” she said.

“When the central government does not function by the values enshrined in the Constitution, then the most sorrow is faced by the Dalits, tribals, backward classes, Muslims and other religious minorities,” she added.

“Our party considers the BJP and Congress as two sides of the same coin,” she said. “In the current regime of the BJP-led central government, poverty, unemployment, anarchy, violence and tension have exceeded that during the Congress party,” she said.

“The Congress does not have the moral right to criticise the BJP,” she added.

“The people of the country have punished the Congress for its wrongdoing, and it is for this reason that the BJP came to power.

But if BJP’s central government follows the pattern of the Congress government, its condition will be worse,” she said.

The BSP chief released the English and Hindi editions of her memoirs.

S Jaishankar (PTI)

NEW DELHI, JAN 15 (PTI): India’s way is not to be disruptive and it is more of a decider than an abstainer, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Wednesday.

In remarks that come at a time several countries have called for a greater Indian role in the Indo-Pacific, the minister also said it is not the India way to be mercantilist.

Addressing a gathering at the Raisina Dialogue here, Jaishankar referred to tensions between the US and Iran and said they are two individualistic countries and what finally happens will depend on the players involved.

Discussing ties with

China, he said it is vital for neighbours to reach understanding on crucial issues.

“Neither India nor China can get India-China relations wrong. Our relationship is unique. Each country has gone up in the world simultaneously. It is necessary that the two countries find equilibrium,” Jaishankar said.

India, he said, is a “prisoner of its past image” and must get over it.

“It is not the India way to be disruptive. It is not the India way to be mercantilist. It is the India way to be more of a decider and not an abstainer. I would pick on climate change. India owes it to itself and to the world to

be a just power,” Jaishankar said during the session titled “The India Way: Preparing for a Century of Growth and Contest”.

India is firmly dealing with terrorism, he added.

“There was a time when we spoke more than what we did. It is changing now,” the minister said.

On India pulling out of RCEP, he said the onus was on countries which were part of it. “Where RCEP is concerned, we have to look at cost and benefit. We will evaluate RCEP on its economic and trade merit. We have not closed our mind to it,” Jaishankar said.

He also asserted that “we are not under-delivering on India-US relationship”.

There is no area of activity where India and the US are not working together, he said.

Noting that the world has common challenges, he said, “Terrorism is a common challenge. Separatism is a common challenge.

Migration is a common challenge. World has to ask itself how do they handle these challenges. Don’t get fixated on the dots and ignore the line.”

Dilip Ghosh stands by ‘shot like dogs’ Top Hizbul terrorist killed in Rio calls for a future through unity comment, says it was for the country encounter with security forces

KOLKATA, JAN 15 (PTI): West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh, who is facing flak from various quarters, even his own partymen, for saying that anti-CAA protesters “were shot like dogs” in BJP-ruled states, Wednesday stood by his comment and said he is not bothered about the criticism.

Ghosh said that whatever he has said is for the country.

Slamming his critics, the BJP leader said those who are castigating him had themselves opened fire on protesters on various ocassions.

“I stick to my comments. I am not bothered about the criticism. Whatever I have said is in favour of the country. The TMC and Congress is criticising me. They too have opened

fire on protesters on various ocassion,” he said.

Ghosh has kicked up a row with his remark at a public meeting in Nadia district on Sunday that “anti-CAA protesters were shot like dogs in BJP-ruled states”, provoking criticism from political rivals as well as his own partymen.

He had criticised Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for “not opening fire and ordering lathi charge” on those who had destroyed public property during the anti-CAA protests in the state in December.

“Our governments in Uttar Pradesh, Assam and Karnataka shot these people like dogs,” he had said.

Banerjee had on Monday deplored the comment and had said the state police will not fire on agitators.

TMC leader Anubrata Mondal, known for making off-the- cuff remarks, had said that it was Ghosh who should be shot dead by the central government for the offence.

Union minister Babul Supriyo had termed Ghosh’s comment as “irresponsible”.

“BJP, as a party has nothing to do with what a DilipGhosh may hv said It is a figment of his imagination & BJP Govts in UP, Assam have NEVER EVERresorted to shooting people for whatever reason whatsoever...,” he had tweeted.

Asked whether he is ready to continue as the state party president for a second term, Ghosh said he has filed the nomination and will do whatever the party asks him to do.

JAMMU, JAN 15 (PTI): A top Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist was killed by security forces while one of his accomplices escaped during an encounter in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district on Wednesday, officials said.

The encounter between the ultras and a joint team of Army and police personnel took place in the district’s Gondana belt, Public Relations Officer, Defence, Jammu, Lt Col Devender Anand, said.

Security forces had received information about the presence of terrorists in the area, the officials said.

In the gun battle, Hizbul Mujahideen’s Haroon Wani, an A++ category terrorist, was killed. He belonged to the Gattah belt of the district, Deputy Inspector General of Police, Doda-Kishtwar-Ramban

Range, Sujit Kumar, said.

He said another terrorist fled towards higher snowbound areas and operations are on to track him.

Kumar said an AK-47 rifle, three magazines, 73 rounds, a Chinese grenade and a radio set have been recovered from Haroon.

Doda Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Mumtaz Ahmed said after launching a search operation last night, joint teams of security forces succeeded in killing the wanted terrorist at 8 am on Wednesday.

Haroon was the active district commander of Hizbul Mujahideen, he said.

Haroon was one of the eight children of Ghulam Abbas Wani -- five sons and three daughters -- all of whom are highly qualified, they said.

(From p-1) She also thanked chief minister and his cabinet colleagues for attending the conference to motivate the students and showing their concern for the district.

Upon arrival, the chief minister unveiled the commemoration plaque and unfurled the USSC flag in presence of deputy chief minister Y. Patton, minister for Forest,

Guards Pipe Band as well as cultural performances and special numbers. The programme was attended by all 8 federating units and 78 sub-units of USSC, Government officials of the district, Hd. GB, GBs, Village Council Chairman of Seyochung Village and leaders of neighbouring villages, a press note from the CMO media cell stated.

DU student Komal Sharma approaches NCW after being identified as JNU attacker NEW DELHI, JAN 15 (PTI): The National Commission for Women has registered a complaint by DU student Komal Sharma against a news channel for allegedly defaming her by identifying her as one of the attackers in the JNU violence.

Sharma told the NCW that she has been wrongly named as being involved in the January 5 incident and was not even approached by the said TV channel for her response or clarification on the allegations, an NCW official said.

She has requested the commission to look into the matter.

Sharma was allegedly identified by the police as the woman, wearing a checkered shirt with her face covered with a light blue scarf and carrying a stick, in the purported video of the campus violence shared on social media. The police said Sharma’s phone was found to be switched off since Saturday night.

NEW DELHI, JAN 15 (IANS): BJP’s Delhi unit chief Manoj Tiwari has promised that no one will die in Delhi’s cold if the BJP is voted to power in the February Assembly polls.

Tiwari said if his party failed to deliver five times the benefit to the people of Delhi than the present Arvind Kejriwal government then he would retire from politics.

In an interview with IANS at his residence here, Tiwari said: “Wherever there is a slum, the poor will get a two-room house under the housing scheme. They would be provided all basic amenities like gas, water connection and toilets so that even the poor can live a better life. Also, no one will die in the cold.”

“Whatever the Aam Aadmi Party has claimed to do in the last five years, like opening schools, colleges, providing jobs to so many people, the BJP will give Delhi five times more than that in the next five years. If it does not happen, I promise I will retire from politics.”

The BJP leader said he had a vision for the development of Delhi. “We will provide pure tap water in every house, and make all efforts to reduce the air pollution by 70 per cent.

We are committed to bringing 5,000 new electric buses and improving the transport connectivity in Delhi with CNG buses.

Ukrainian plane downing: new video emerges

Washington, Jan 15 (AFP): New video footage has emerged showing two Iranian missiles tearing through the night sky and hitting a Ukrainian passenger plane, sending the aircraft down in flames and killing all 176 passengers and crew on board.

The projectiles were fired 30 seconds apart and explain why the plane’s transponder was not working as it hurtled to the ground -- it was disabled by the first strike, before being hit by a second, said the New York Times, which published the verified security camera footage Tuesday.

The blurry film, shot from a rooftop in a village four miles from an Iranian military site, shows the Kiev-bound plane on fire and circling back to Tehran’s airport, the Times said.

The projectiles were fired 30 seconds apart and explain why the plane’s transponder was not working.

Minutes later, the aircraft exploded and crashed.

Iran had for days denied Western claims that the Boeing 737 had been downed by its missiles.

Tehran came clean on Saturday when Revolutionary Guards aerospace com-

mander Brigadier General Amirali Hajizadeh acknowledged a missile operator had mistaken the Ukraine International Airlines plane for a cruise missile and opened fire.

The incident happened when Iran’s armed forces

were on heightened alert after launching a volley of missiles at Iraqi bases hosting US troops in retaliation for the killing of top general Qasem Soleimani on January 3.

Iran has struggled to contain the fallout over its handling of the air disaster and the tragedy has seen hundreds of angry protesters, most of them students, take to the streets.

New videos circulating on social media purported to show fresh protests on Tuesday evening at universities in Tehran, along with clashes between students and Basij militia loyal to the establishment.

It was not possible to immediately verify the videos.

Earlier, AFP correspondents said around 200 mainly masked students

gathered at Tehran University and were locked in a tense standoff with youths from the Basij.

Kept apart by security forces, the groups eventually parted ways.

Around 30 people have been arrested in the protests over the air disaster, according to judiciary spokesman Gholamhossein Esmaili.

On Tuesday Tehran said it had made its first arrests over the shooting down of the plane, though it gave no details.

Recent protests have been much smaller than nationwide demonstrations against fuel price hikes that turned deadly in November.

But one commentator said the latest rallies showed there was a “real rift between the people and the authorities”.

US Senate likely to begin Trump China makes fresh bid to impeachment trial next Tuesday raise Kashmir issue in UNSC Washington, Jan 15 (PTI): The Senate is likely to begin the impeachment trial of US President Donald Trump on January 21, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Tuesday.

McConnell’s remarks came after Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House would vote on Wednesday and send its impeachment trial to the Senate.

The 435-member US House of Representatives, where Democrats enjoy a majority, last month c h a r g e d Tr u m p w i t h “high crimes and misdemeanours” and impeached him for pressuring Ukraine to investigate a political rival.

Donald Trump (File)

Initiated by Pelosi on September 24, the House voted on two articles of impeachment against Trump: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Trump and the White House have denied those charges.

The Senate needs to complete a motion of trial before voting on the impeachment. The trial would be presided by the

Supreme Court Chief Justice.

“The House is likely to finally send the articles over to us tomorrow, allowing Senate to take steps which would set us up to begin the actual trial next Tuesday,” McConnell told reporters at the US Capitol.

Before that, Chief Justice John Roberts will swear in senators as jurors this week. This is likely to happen before the Martin Luther King Jr holiday.

Pelosi, who had held on the impeachment for about four weeks from sending it to the Senate on Tuesday, told a caucus meeting that she is ready to proceed ahead and a vote on this is scheduled for Wednesday.

New Delhi, Jan 15 (PTI): China has made a fresh pitch to raise the Kashmir issue in a closeddoor meeting of the UN Security Council in New York on Wednesday, but the attempt is likely to fail as all other member countries of the body are set to oppose it.

French diplomatic sources said France has noted the request of a UNSC member to raise the Kashmir issue once again in the powerful body and it is going to oppose it like it did on a previous occasion.

The closed door meeting of the UNSC has been called to discuss an issue relating to an African country.

China has made a request to deliberate on the Kashmir issue under the agenda of “Any Other Business Points”.

The sources said France’s position has not changed and is very clear -- the Kashmir issue must be settled bilaterally.

This has been stated on several occasions and will continue to be reiterate to partners in the UN Security Council, they added.

Last month, France, the US, UK and Russia had foiled an attempt by China to discuss Kashmir at a closed-door meeting of the UNSC. China has been critical of India’s reorganisation of Jammu and Kashmir.

Taiwan ‘already independent’, Tsai Ing-wen warns China Taipei, Jan 15 (AFP): China must rethink its hardline stance towards Taiwan, President Tsai Ing-wen said Wednesday, as she warned the island was already independent and that any invasion would be “very costly” for Beijing.

Tsai won a second term over the weekend with a record 8.2 million votes, an outcome that was seen as a forceful rebuke of China’s ongoing campaign to isolate the self-ruled island.

China’s leadership had made no secret of its desire to see Tsai turfed out because she and her party refuse to acknowledge their view that the island is part of a “one China”.

Beijing regards Taiwan as its territory and has vowed to one day seize it, by force if necessary -- especially if it declares independence.

But in her first interview since Saturday’s reelection, Tsai told the BBC there was no need to formally announce independence because the island already runs itself.

“We don’t have a need to declare ourselves an independent state,” she said in the interview, which aired on Wednesday.

“We are an independent country already and we call ourselves the Republic of China, Taiwan.” Modern Taiwan has been run separately from the mainland for the last 70 years.

For decades, it was a dictatorship under Chiang Kai-shek’s nationalists following their 1949 defeat to the communists in China’s civil war. But since the 1980s, it has morphed into one of Asia’s most progressive democracies, although it is only diplomatically recognised by a dwindling handful of countries.

Polls show growing numbers of Taiwanese reject the idea that the island should be part of the Chinese mainland. “We have a separate identity and we’re a country of our own,” Tsai said. “We deserve respect from China”.

China has g reeted Tsai’s re-election with anger, warning against any move to push the island closer towards independence.

“Splitting the country is doomed to leave a name that will stink for eternity,” Foreign Minister Wang Yi said this week.

Chinese state media also accused Tsai of winning the election through cheating, without providing evidence.

On Wednesday, Beijing’s Taiwan Affairs Office said there were no plans to change policy towards the island after the landslide election.

“Taiwan’s future lies in the unification of the country,” spokesman Ma Xiaoguang said, adding its future must be decided by “all Chinese people”.

But Tsai said China should respect the wishes of Taiwan’s electorate.

“I hope the Chinese side can understand indepth the opinion and will expressed by Taiwanese people in this election and can review some of their

current policies,” she told reporters on Wednesday.

Tsai was speaking as she announced a new “antiinfiltration law” had been signed into effect making it illegal to launch political activities that are backed or funded by “hostile external forces”.

Supporters say the bill is aimed at clamping down on China’s infiltration of Taiwan’s politics while opponents called it anti-democratic.

In her BBC interview -- which came as Taiwan held annual military drills on the south of the island -Tsai warned Beijing against sending in troops.

“Invading Taiwan is something that is going to be very costly for China,” she said.

Critics accuse Tsai of being needlessly antagonistic towards Beijing.

But Tsai said she had resisted pressure from within her own party to be more forceful on the issue of independence.

“There are so many pressures, so much pressure here that we should go further,” she said.

“Maintaining a status quo remains our policy... I think that is a very friendly gesture to China.” Tsai has repeatedly said she is willing to talk to Beijing as long as there are no pre-conditions.

But Beijing has refused, cutting off official communication with her administration.

Over the last four years, it has also has ramped up economic, military and diplomatic pressure, hoping it would scare voters into supporting the opposition.

But the strong-arm tactics backfired with voters resoundingly backing Tsai for another four more years.

1st Indian e-device to control smog

I

ndian scientists have developed country’s first electronically charged machine with proven potential to address lethal environmental pollution caused by dust and smog.

The “electrostatic dust mitigation and smog control device” designed and tested by the Chandigarhbased Central Scientific Instruments Organisation, a lab under the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, will hit the market in a month after the completion of transfer of technology to the industry.

The device works on the principle of storing electronically charged water droplets, which get released once they come into contact with fine particulate matter — PM2.5 and PM10 – and smog.

“The moment water drops touch pollutants they get released into the environment settling dust particles with their weight. This is the first time we have developed an electronic solution to the problem of environmental pollution.

So far only conventional methods are available in which you either create artificial rain to settle dust and smog or use water sprinklers. Both these methods are time-consuming, water-intensive and expensive. The new device consumes one-third water as against conventional devices; and is fast and affordable. Machines of several specifications have

Cynthia Erivo won’t perform at Taylor Swift shares release date for her BAFTAs following all-white nominations Netflix documentary ‘Miss Americana’

C

ynthia Erivo has said she will not perform at the BAFTA awards ceremony, despite her song ‘Stand Up’ from Harriet being nominated.

The actress and singer was snubbed from the nominations for her performance in the film as activist and abolitionist Harriet Tubman – as was every other person of colour.

The slate of nominees exclusively features white actors, and failed to nominate any women for Best Director. Erivo told

Extra why she declined the offer, saying, “I felt like [the invitation] didn’t represent people of color in the right light.”

Erivo continued: “It felt like it was calling on me as an entertainer as opposed to a person who was a part of the world of film, and I think that it’s important to make it known that it’s not something you throw in as a party trick, you know?

I work hard and every single person of color who is working in these films

this year has worked really hard, and there are many of them who deserve to be celebrated… and no women directors, I was just like…’C’mon.’”

Several awards bodies this year have demonstrated a problem in terms of diversity, as on many occasions the homogeneity failed to reflect the strength of the films released this year.

Erivo has now been nominated for two Oscars for Harriet, both for Best Actress and for Best Original Song. She’s the second person in history to achieve this, after Lady Gaga last year for A Star is Born.

If Erivo wins, she’ll be the 16th person in history to achieve the EGOT – winning an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony.

The 92nd Academy Awards will take place on 10 February 2020.

been developed depending on the scale of pollution to be addressed,” Surender Singh Saini, Head, Business Development, CSIO, told The Tribune today.

The government has transferred the technology to Yamunanagar-based Cloud Tech, which is already supplying conventional dust and smog mitigation solutions to some governments, including the Delhi Government.

The Ministry of Commerce is now looking at a national industrial scale up of the project given the increasing air pollution in India.

Seven in every 10 Indians are currently exposed to lethal air pollutants, says Indian Council of Medical Research. Air pollution killed 1.24 million Indians in 2017, which was 12.5 per cent of all deaths that year. Of total deaths from air pollution, 0.67 million were attributable to am-

bient particulate matter pollution, which the new CSIO device promises to contain.

A recent ICMR study found Delhi had the highest levels of PM2•5 in 2017 followed by Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Haryana. All these states had mean PM2.5 pollutant values greater than 125 µg/m³ as against the permissible 40 micro gram per cubic metre.

“The technology uses electrostatic field to generate charged spray droplets which combine with oppositely charged dust and smog particles and settle down onto the ground very efficiently and effectively,” said technology innovator Manoj Patel.

The device, developers said, could be used to tackle pollution on city roads, at construction sites, in coal mine fields and at industrial pollution sites.

AMPE 40TH - KUKUMGHA TUNA

T

aylor Swift has shared the release date for her forthcoming Netflix documentary ‘Miss Americana’.

The film directed by Lana Wilson, has been described by the streaming service as a “raw and emotionally revealing look at Taylor Swift; following one of the most iconic artists of our time as she learns to embrace her role not only as a songwriter and performer, but as a woman harnessing the full power of her voice”.

It will make its official debut at this year’s Sundance Film Festival on January 23 before it is released on Netflix on January 31.

The documentary almost never saw the light of day after Swift recently claimed she was being blocked from using her songs for the film because of her licensing dispute with Scooter Braun, and Big Machine founder Scott Borchetta after the pair were involved in the controversial sale and purchase of her back catalogue last year.

Braun and Big Machine denied the claims but she was eventually given the green light to perform her old music and include them in ‘Miss Americana’.

A representative for Big Machine at the time said the company had green-lit performances to stream post-show and for re-broadcast on mutually approved platforms. “It should be noted that recording

artists do not need label approval for live performances on television or any other live media,” a statement read.

It continued: “Record label approval is only needed for contracted artists’ audio and visual recordings and in determining how those works are distributed.”

Meanwhile, Swift is set to be honoured as an LGBTQ champion at this year’s GLAAD Media Awards.

The ‘Lover’ pop star will collect the Vanguard Award at the ceremony at Los Angeles’ Beverly Hilton on April 16, 2020.

lawsuit for the second time

K

anye West and music publishing company EMI have settled their lawsuit for the second time.

The rapper first sued the company in January 2019, and alleged that the firm – which has published his music since 2003 – was attempting to lock him into a lifetime of “servitude”.

In response, EMI then hit back with their own federal lawsuit in March and claimed that West’s original complaint was invalid because he had willingly signed a series of contract extensions with the company.

Despite seemingly reaching an eventual agreement in September 2019, things looked unsettled once more in December when EMI made a last-minute choice to re-open the case again. A judge permitted both parties until January 13 to reach a new deal.

As Pitchfork reports, West and EMI have now notified the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York

that they have reached an “agreement in principle” to finally settle the suit.

If no further objections are made, it will finally be settled on February 14.

Meanwhile,West is reportedly planning on taking his Sunday Service live show on a “global” tour in 2020.

He began his Sunday Services just over a year ago, with the rapper, his band and gospel choir making weekly live appearances in the US in subsequent weeks and months — including at Coachella 2019 back in April.

The regular event also heavily influenced West’s recent solo album ‘Jesus Is King’.

ISL: Chennaiyin seek resurgence in Northeast tie

C H E NNA I , J AN 1 5 (IANS): Chennaiyin will be looking to climb up the table and get closer to the top four spots with a win against a struggling NorthEast United FC (NEUFC) in an Indian Super League (ISL) clash here on Thursday.

Since taking charge, Chennaiyin coach Owen Coyle has led his team to two wins and a draw (7 points) in five matches, which is two points more than what his predecessor managed in six matches. The mini-resurgence has seen them move off the bottom of the table, into the eighth spot with 12 points from 11 games.

With a game in hand over most of the other teams, they are still six points behind the final playoff spot, which is currently occupied

by Odisha FC. “We still got a chance of getting to the play-offs, but to do that we have to be consistent by winning games. Three points can be invaluable because more often than not there are a lot of draws in this league and those three points can catapult you up the table,” Coyle said.

NEUFC are on a poor run of form, having gone without a win for

six matches. Despite starting the season reasonably well, Robert Jarni’s team has faltered and the lack of goal-scoring has affected the recent displays.

Marquee signing Asamoah Gyan was ruled out of the ongoing season due to an injury and Jarni will be hoping a mini-revamp in the January transfer window can get their season back on track.

“We lost our opportunity at the beginning of the championship when we lost a couple of matches in the last seconds of the game.

We have a very young and promising team. We lost Asamoah Gyan who is not here, we must do without him,” Jarni said ahead of the crunch tie.

“We are expecting a very tough game tomorrow.

Chennaiyin, with their new coach, looks very good but we also believe in our qualities. We must be in the first four and that’s why we are

here,” he added.

The highlanders will also miss the services of defensive midfielder Jose Leudo who was sent off in their last outing, a 0-2 defeat away from home at the hands of FC Goa. The game in Chennai is NorthEast United’s third of five consecutive away matches and despite having two games in hand compared to the top six teams, the lack of a goalscoring threat will be Jarni’s biggest concern as they look to move closer to the playoff spots.

Despite having only one clean sheet this season, Chennaiyin emerged as 3-1 victors against Hyderabad in their last match and the team’s front line looked supremely confident. Nerijus Valskis is back amongst the goals, with seven strikes so far this season. Coyle will be looking to take advantage of NorthEast’s lack of confidence and secure full points at home.

Jacqueline to become 1st woman 3rd umpire in men’s int’l cricket

Jacqueline Williams

Dubai, Jan 15 (IANS): Jacqueline Williams of the West Indies will become the first woman to officiate as the third umpire in a men’s international when she takes the field for the first of three T20Is against the visiting Ireland team.

The 43-year-old from Jamaica will officiate in the position in all the three matches of the series starting Wednesday.

“This is a matter of huge honour for me and I am really excited at the prospect of my role as TV umpire in a men’s international match.

I have officiated as a third umpire in men’s matches before, but this is for the first time in an international and that too featuring the West Indies,” Jacqueline said in an ICC statement.

“I am thankful to the International Cricket Coun-

cil and Cricket West Indies for all the help and support over the years and wish that more women take up umpiring in the coming years.

Umpiring is a challenging job but one from which I derive utmost satisfaction,” she added.

Williams had become the first woman to officiate as third umpire in an ICC men’s tournament in 2016 when she was assigned the Oman versus Nigeria match at the World Cricket League Division Five in Jersey.

Retired umpire Kathy Cross of New Zealand was the first woman official to stand in a men’s ICC tournament during the World Cricket League Division Five and Three held in Malaysia.

Last month, India’s G S Lakshmi oversaw the third series of the Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 in the United Arab Emirates, becoming the first woman match referee in men’s ODIs. Earlier in May, she became the first woman to be appointed onto the ICC International Panel of Match Referees.

In April last year, Australia’s Claire Polosak became the first female umpire to stand in a men’s ODI, in the World Cricket League Division 2 match between Namibia and Oman in Windhoek, Namibia.

New Delhi, Jan 15 (IANS): The nation is celebrating Army Day on Wednesday and saluting the brave soldiers of the country. On Army Day, which is celebrated on every January 15, not only politicians and heads of states but also sports personalities lauded the efforts of the Indian Army.

Port Elizabeth, Jan 15 (IANS): South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis on Wednesday hinted that batting great AB de Villiers could possibly return to the national side ahead of the World T20, scheduled to be held in Australia later this year. A few days back de Villiers, who retired from all forms of international cricket in 2018, arrived in Australia to make his debut in the Big Bash League (BBL) and said he was keen to make a return. de Villiers had tried to come out of it ahead of the 2019 World Cup, making himself available for selection. However, Cricket South Africa (CSA) selectors felt it was too late.

Speaking on the eve of South Africa’s third Test against England, du Plessis said: “It’s the same as what I mentioned before. We spoke and I was very keen to have him back even before the new coaching staff was on board.”

Sindhu came from one game down to beat Japan’s Aya Chori 14-21, 21-15, 21-11 in Jakarta.

“Taking six wickets conceding only seven runs was a dream performance for me and will always remain close to my heart,” Chahar said.

Cummins grabbed 59 wickets in 12 Test matches during the period and finished the year as the topranked bowler in the Test rankings.

“It’s a tremendous honour to be considered the best player of last year and one which was certainly unexpected. I owe much to my team, team-mates and all those involved in Australian cricket for what was a really successful year for the team,” he said.

Stokes was rewarded after a fabulous 12 months that saw him play a decisive role in England’s dramatic victory at the World Cup final along with a host of other memorable performances, including an epic Ashes hundred.

“This award is testament to my teammates and the support staff that have been there every step of the way. Fundamentally, without the support of these individuals, we would never achieved our objective of lifting a major trophy,” he said.

Labuschagne was an easy winner of the Emerging Player award after scoring 1,104 runs in 11 Tests, which saw him zoom in the ICC Test Player Rankings from 110 at the start of the year to fourth by the end of the year.

England umpire Richard Illingworth became the seventh person to win the David Shepherd Trophy for Umpire of the Year.

“It is great to be recognised in this fashion.

We are very happy with the way we performed as a team in 2019. We could have done better but we have a lot of positives and a lot to look forward to in 2020,” Rohit said.

India captain Kohli was surprised to win the

Spirit of Cricket Award and explained his reasons for backing Smith the way he did.

“It is part of camaraderie that sportsmen must have with each other,” Kohli said.

“That moment was purely understanding an individual’s situation. I don’t think a guy who is coming out of a situation like that needs to be taken advantage of,” he recalled.

“You can sledge, can have have banter on the field, you say things to the opposition in wanting to beat them. But booing someone is not in the spirit of any sport, I don’t endorse it.”

Robert Farah fails Poanglϋm hornbill: Indigenous Dhawan says ready to bat anywhere drug test, pulls out and traditional games held of Australian Open Mumbai, Jan 15 (PTI): Regular India opener Shikhar Dhawan says he is ready to bat anywhere after skipper Virat Kohli’s move to drop himself down at No. 4 to accommodate him and K L Rahul backfired in the first ODI against Australia.

The visitors crushed India by 10 wickets in the first of the three-match series, chasing down a 256run target with plenty to spare here on Tuesday.

“If they ask me to bat at No.3, of course I’ll do it.

Anything for my country, for sure,” Dhawan said after the game in which K L Rahul came in at the critical position.

“You have to be mentally strong, all the boys are mentally strong, that’s why they’ve been playing international cricket and it’s part of the journey, sometimes you’ve to switch numbers as well.”

The senior player said it was completely the captain’s decision to drop himself down at No.4 from his usual No.3 slot.

“See that is a captain’s choice, KL is batting well, he did well in the last series and he played really well and he played well today.

“I feel it is the captain’s choice where he wants to play and he has done amazing at No. 3, maybe I feel,

Shikhar Dhawan

he will think about it to go at number three again,” he said.

After the game, Kohli said he might have to rethink his plans going into the second and third ODIs. Dhawan blamed the loss of four wickets in the middle overs for the mauling. David Warner and Aaron Finch slammed unbeaten tons to power the visitors to a convincing win at the Wankhede Stadium.

“We handled those first 10-15 overs very nicely.

We lost four wickets in a go, that is where the game changed for us, then we were behind and then we were trying to cover it, so that is where we went wrong,” said Dhawan, who made 74 off 91 balls, said.

Australia pulled things back to bowl India out for 255 and Warner (128 not out) and Finch (110) then did the rest.

India lost five quick

wickets after Dhawan and K L Rahul (47) added 121 for the second wicket.

“K L (Rahul) got out.

That time we planned to accelerate and those four wickets we lost, that’s where we lost the momentum. We were targeting 300 runs but we ended up scoring less runs. In bowling, we could not take early wickets. They outplayed us,” admitted Dhawan.

Asked whether the Indian batting was too dependent on him, Kohli and Rohit Sharma, Dhawan said, “See it is just one bad day in office. We played really well against West Indies, there all the batsmen did well.

“Shreyas (Iyer) has been doing so well and he is a young lad, one-odd innings is going to go here and there, but we as a team back each other and we don’t focus or put too much on one loss.”

“They played really well, we were bit unlucky as top-edges went here and there and not in the hands (of the fielders),” he said.

Dhawan also showered praise on Warner.

“Of course David is a world-class player and yes, once he’s set he takes the game away, that’s his ability. We were trying our best to get hold of him, unfortunately we couldn’t.
