Peace talks on track: WC, NNPGs

DIMAPUR, JAN 17 (NPN): Working Committee (WC), Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) has claimed that there were continuity, clarity and progress in negotiations with Government of India (GoI).

In a statement issued by its media cell, WC clarified that there was no stalemate or deadlock in the peace talks, and that it was not indulging in a political monologue. A clear approach was laid on the ground allowing collective wisdom to seep through in consonance with “our history, supported by logic, reasoning and practical reality of the day.”

Mentioning that every issue was processed jointly and transparency, proactive argument and healthy debate preceded each round of negotiations, the committee asserted that this was a “tectonic shift” from the usual Indo-Naga political dialogue.

WC said it believed that political and historical rights and aspiration of Nagas residing in Nagaland, M a n i p u r, A r u n a c h a l Pradesh and Assam would be honoured and fulfilled.

After Alok Verma, Govt now decides to remove CBI No.2 NEW DELHI, JAN 17 (AGENCIES): In a surprise move, the government on Thursday decided to move out CBI No2. Rakesh Asthana, who was involved in a bitter feud with now removed CBI director Alok Verma, from the premier investigating agency with immediate effect, said sources.

Along with Asthana, AK Sharma, MK Sinha and Jayant Naiknavare too have been removed forthwith.

Sources say, the decision to move them out of the CBI was taken at a meeting held this morning at the CVC. Asthana has now been moved to Bureau of Civil Aviation, AK Sharma will be ADG, CRPF and MK Sinha to Bureau of Police Research and Development.

On October 15, the CBI had booked Rakesh Asthana and Satish Sana Babu, a businessman from Hyderabad, for alleged corruption. Later in the day, the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) had also shot off a letter to the then CBI Director Alok Kumar Verma conveying the apprehensions of Asthana of “bias and prejudice” in case of an investigation against him.

Verma too slapped a counter case against Asthana.

This is it!

It also solicited prayer support from all Nagas, irrespective of domicile status or political, religious and tribal affiliations.

S t a t i n g t h a t WC, NNPGs was a child of Naga reconciliation process, the committee said it owed its existence to peaceloving Naga people for believing in and endorsing various Naga national political groups into initiating a common platform.

“Naga political leaders having different ideologies and backgrounds, for the sake of future generations, answered the call of Nagas.

The endeavour is to salvage our historical and political rights through peaceful, honourable and acceptable solution,” the statement stressed.

Further mentioning that reconciliation within the Church and Naga civil societies was urgent, WC emphasised that reconciliation among Naga tribes and communities, clans and within families was an essential component towards creating a “peaceful interdependent Naga homeland”.

“The process becomes narrow and one dimen-

sional, if it caters only to stop hostility among armed Naga groups. Naga history is profoundly glorious yet intensely turbulent and violent. It teaches us to be fiercely patriotic yet not to be self-indulgent and remorseless,” the committee added.

According to WC, reconciliation process must identify and correct the basic flaw pertaining to social, religious and political discourse. It would naturally lose its shine if informed opinions and pragmatic challenges were muffled by opinionated and impractical narratives.

The truth would then be suppressed and propaganda upheld. The process must, therefore, rid itself of procrastination and avoid biased presumptions and unfounded characterisation of leaders or followers, the committee highlighted.

Despite the seeming trust deficit and apprehension among its members initially, WC pointed out that greater and nobler service in unison for Naga nation became a critical task at hand. Thus, with varied yet common political idea, much brainstorm-

ing through past Naga history, analysing present predicament and envisioning future political landscape ensued, and consultation with Naga tribes, eminent scholars, intellectuals and civil societies gave shape to a single entity, eventually leading it to the negotiating table with GoI in September 2017, the committee recollected.

Mentioning that electronic, print and social media had flooded lives of individuals today, WC said these were outlets for information, healing, building and restoring trusts for some, while for others these were tool to question, intimidate, destroy, deter and extinguish people’s desire and aspirations. May God help the Nagas stay upright, it added.

It may be mentioned, the Government of India’s representative for Naga peace talks, RN Ravi, held an informal meeting with Khango-led NSCN (K) on January 10, 2019.

Ravi had told Nagaland Post that NSCN (K) will participate in the peace process along with Working Committee of the NNPGs”.

‘Mini Hornbill’ will camouflage other tribal festivals, says Azo

Kuzholuzo (Azo) Nienu

Correspondent

PHEK, JAN 17 (NPN): NPF legislator Kuzholuzo (Azo) Nienu has expressed his utter dismay over usage of the term “Mini Hornbill” to coin tribal festivals.

Speaking on Day-3 of the ongoing Sükrünye 2019 Mini Hornbill Festival here on Thursday, Azo remarked that the term “Mini Hornbill” would camouflage

the real meaning of tribal festivals.

“If we are to promote every tribal festival, we must promote them by their true nomenclature,” he emphasised. According to him, the term “Hornbill” used at the annual cultural extravaganza in Kohima was okay as it was a conglomeration of different tribal festivals.

He, however, said usage of original nomenclature of the tribal festivals must be encouraged and, therefore, “Mini Hornbill” must be done away with.

He also stressed on the importance of keeping alive the traditions and culture and their preservation in this fast changing world.

While celebrating the joyous festival, Azo said Sükrünye was also meant to purify and sanctify oneself.

He added that in the modern

He remarked that certain culture and traditional practices should be kept alive, but noted that practices that were totally unacceptable in today’s society in the Christian world should be buried and forgotten.

Congress trains its guns on Ajit Doval Says NSA’s son opened hedge fund in Cayman Islands after note ban NEW DELHI, JAN 17 (PTI): Congress on Thursday alleged National Security Adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval’s son Vivek started a hedge fund in Cayman Islands days after demonetisation and demanded a probe by the Reserve Bank into FDI inflows from the tax haven.

Addressing a press conference here days after a media report highlighted the same issue, Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh also asked RBI to make public details of FDI inflows from Cayman islands since demonetisation, which he claimed were to the tune of Rs 8,300 crore during 201718 and equalled total funds flowing into India between 2000 to 2017. Ramesh, however, did not substantiate his allegations with any documentary evidence.

There was no immediate comment available from either Doval or his son and his company. Ramesh alleged that a hedge fund

GNY Asia was opened in Cayman Islands on November 21, 2016, 13 days after demonetisation, with Vivek as one of its directors. He also alleged that while there are three more directors of GNY, one of them is Don W Ebanks whose name appears in Panama’s ‘Paradise papers’ also referred as ‘Panama papers’.

Alleging that “there is certainly a link between demonetisation and FDI inflows from Cayman islands”, he said this is a “round tripping of money” and demanded a probe.

“There should be a probe into the FDI that came into the country from Cayman Islands after demonetisation,” he demanded, saying, “GNA owes an explanation to the country”.

Meghalaya mine: Navy divers detect body Correspondent

SHILLONG, JAN 17: Indian Naval divers have captured pictures of a body inside a 370-feet flooded coal mine at Ksan village in East Jaintia Hills district, using an underwater ROV (remotely operated vehicle) at a depth of approx 160 feet and 210 feet inside a rat-hole mine.

“The body has been pulled up to the mouth of the mine and will be the extracted out under the supervision of doctors,” the Navy spokesperson said in a tweet.

The families of the trapped miners inside an illegal a 370-feet flooded coal mine in Meghalaya on Thursday said they want the “dead bodies” of the miners to be taken out of the coal mine as per the order of the Supreme Court. The body was detected 32 days after the miners were trapped inside the mine on December 13.

NDPP seeks to allay confusion over Citizenship Bill CAB needs to be dealt with DIMAPUR, JAN 17 (NPN): Seeking to allay confusion in the minds of the people in view of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016 (CAB) in the context of Nagaland vis-à-vis Article 371A, the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) Thursday contended that the Article 371A which states “notwithstanding anything in this Constitution, no Act of Parliament in respect of…” meant that despite of what was in the constitution, no Act of parliament shall apply to the state of Nagaland unless the Legislative Assembly of Nagaland by a resolution so decides.

NDPP through its media & communication committee maintained that in the present context, determining whether a person was a Naga citizen, along with his or her rights and privileges, rests upon the village institutions (eg vil-

lage councils). It said village institutions were the keepers of traditional and customary laws, practices and procedure, not the government.

NDPP said such has been the customary practices of Nagas since time immemorial, which has been further strengthened and protected

by Article 371A of the Constitution of India.

Taking this into consideration, NDPP said the Government of India gave further protection to Nagaland by bringing the State under the purview of the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation Act 1873 (BEFRA), wherein the Inner Line Permit (ILP) is issued in order to safeguard the Nagas, their Citizenship along their rights and privileges from being diluted and to maintain the sanctity of the Naga identity. Therefore, NDPP said BEFRA was one of the pillars to safeguard the Naga citizenship through the

exercise of the ILP. Further, it said the foundations of the Naga customary law was to preserve and protect the rights, privileges and the citizenship of the Naga people, which has been protected under the gambit of Article 371A in its totality.

“It will definitely not be wise in viewing Article 371A on a microscopic point of view but rather it should be viewed on a much wider perspective since the Article 371A is a special provision given to the state of Nagaland by the GoI....” it stated.

Stating that only Dimapur was not covered by the ILP, NDPP said it would be the endeavour of the party to impress upon the government to ensure that BEFRA and the ILP were implemented in toto in the entire state of Nagaland including Dimapur and to ensure strict implementation of the ILP. NDPP also said that if the CAB did become an Act

the Nagaland Legislative Assembly has the provisions of Article 371A not to implement the Act in the state of Nagaland. “This will also not be the first time that the NLA will be referring to the provisions of Article 371A in not implementing an Act of parliament as there have been precedence’s in the past,” NDPP said.

It cited that NLA decided not to implement the Constitution 73rd Amendment 1992 on the grounds that infringed upon the provisions of Article 371A of the Constitution. Therefore, it said Nagaland has since been exempted from Part IX of the constitution of India that pertains to the Panchayati Raj System since the Nagaland Village & Area Council Act 1978 was already in effect that conforms to Naga traditional and customary laws, practices and procedures.

mand that the Reserve Bank makes public all funds from where money has come into the country from Cayman Islands,” Ramesh told reporters. He said RBI should publish details of all those who brought in money from Cayman islands.

Ramesh also sought to know what are the relations between Vivek Doval’s fund GNY Asia and Zeus Capital, another company in which his brother Shaurya Doval has business interests.

CPI-M leader Sitaram Yechury also demanded answers from Doval and cited a media report on the issue to allege that the role of PMO and its top security official was under a “dark shadow”.

Cayman Islands are an autonomous British Overseas territory in the western Caribbean Sea, which is considered a tax haven.

pragmatic approach: CNTC

DIMAPUR, JAN 17 (NPN): Voicing out its concern over the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB) 2016, the Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) Thursday asserted that the bill, which has invited strong opposition from every corner, needed to be dealt with “a very pragmatic approach” by the Nagas.

CNTC through its media cell said mere opposing or going against bill was not the solution. “This is also no time for political parties to engage in bickering and blame games but come together to save ourselves from the impending doom,” it stated.

Re m i n d i n g N a g a s to be realistic and realise that they, as an indigenous people, were equipped and blessed with many privileges and rights, the CNTC, (Cont’d on p-7) however, said despite of all

such provisions, Nagas have failed themselves as a whole on many issues and fronts. It stated that failure to control the unabated influx of illegal immigrants in Nagaland was one major issue where Nagas have failed to address genuinely.

The council affirmed that Nagas being a small, vulnerable population “cannot ever compromise of Nagaland being converted into dumping ground for illegal immigrants”. CNTC, however, said Nagas have not much been able to go further except “bickering and writing mighty words in the media.” Over the decades, CNTC said the respective state governments, tribes hohos, civil society groups, student organisations and the public have miserably failed to tackle the issue of illegal immigrants.

Correspondent

KOHIMA, JAN 17 (NPN): Nagaland Bar Association (NBA) launched its yearlong golden jubilee celebration under the theme “celebrating our past, inspiring the future” with Gauhati High court justice N. Kotiswar Singh gracing the occasion as special guest held at Gauhati High court Kohima bench room on Thursday.

Justice Singh in his address said the lawyer has commendable role to play in order to shape the society and reminded them to express their views freely without being bonded or dictated by any law. However, he said that freedom came with responsibility and as such, Naga lawyers have important role to play in judiciary system to address the various pertaining issues of the society and

urged them to be the agent of positive change.

Justice Singh advised the senior lawyers to nurture the younger lawyers not only on legal point but with their experience. Justice said he was impressed with the bar association members’ activities and encouraged them to continue the commendable job.

President, Nagaland Bar Association (NBA) Talitsungba said the yearlong

celebration would impart basic legal education to the mass in almost all the district with specific theme and the jubilee theme. Stressing on the legal system of Naga society, he said Naga society has been deeply rooted into social custom and practices, but in modern society, custom and social practices alone was not sufficient to administer social harmony.

He also highlighted the various hurdles and strug-

gles of the bar association in the last 50 years including humiliation and harassment by the society. He claimed that Naga society has been awakened about the value of the law from the cocoon of social custom and practices through vibrant effort of the bar association by few lawyers those days.

He said lawyers are the torch bearers of the society and today Nagas have good numbers of lawyers to speak out the right and duty of the citizen. He said NBA has raised the issue of recruitment of subordinate judiciary officers and higher judiciary officers which is to be made through selection test and not pick and choose or to be nominated. In this regard, he informed that the government of India has acknowledged their concern and said it was commendable job done by NBA. He opined that justice and law should be of different departments so that executive interference in the appointment of higher judiciary can be avoided.

Schools not less important: Kikheto State BJP attends national

Correspondent

KOHIMA, JAN 17 (NPN): Commissioner and secretary, Finance and Land Resource Department, Y. Kikheto Sema said schools are no less important than the churches.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of 2nd Khiamniungan Sports Council Meet 2019 at Pathso Area Public Ground, Pathso, Sema urged the communities to accord equal importance to schools which were in dilapidated condition stating that schools are the future of society.

He regretted that communities are more focused on constructing magnificent church buildings and neglected the schools where their children are sent for education for the future.

“Our people wanted to build magnificent church buildings, but they neglected our schools, which was not wise” he said.

Kikheto said schools are centre of knowledge to build future communities but have failed to understand the value of education and urged communities and leaders to give equal focus on education and spirituality.

He added that churches are mostly for Sunday while schools are serving

Madhav urges AGP to reconsider decision

Guwahati, Jan 17 (PTI): BJP general secretary Ram Madhav appealed to the Asom Gana Parishad on Thursday to reconsider its decision to snap ties with the party over the contentious citizenship bill last week.

Madhav, who is also the incharge of the Bharatiya Janata Party in the Northeast, sought to allay apprehensions regarding the bill, saying it was not only for Assam or the Northeast, but for the entire country.

Among those opposing the bill, there are some who are genuinely concerned “whom we respect”, but there are also some who are opposing only for their “political interests”, Madhav said at a press conference here.

There are others like the United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA), who are opposing the bill to “disturb” peace and create unrest, he added.

The AGP had on January 7 pulled out of the BJPled coalition government in Assam, after its “last-ditch attempt” to convince the Centre to withdraw the proposed legislation failed.

The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2019, which was passed in the Lok Sabha on January 8, seeks to provide citizenship to nonMuslims from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Three AGP ministers had resigned from the Assam cabinet the next day.

Kaziranga University holds convocation DIMAPUR, Jan 17 (NPN): Kaziranga University, one of North-East premier universities, conducted its 5th annual convocation ceremony on January 13 at the University campus in Koraikhowa, Jorhat. Attended by several notable guests and luminaries, the convocation was graced

by Assam chief minister, Sarbananda Sonowal.

Guests of honour were Ashok Mittal, Chancellor, Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar and six time World Amateur Boxing Champion Padma Bhushan M.C Mary Kom. The ceremony was presided by chancellor of Kaziranga University, Dr. Murli Dhar Khetan.

During the ceremony, 405 young men and women from across different schools of the University were awarded degrees as they officially graduated from the University.

The University also conferred Honorary Doctorate degrees to two exemplary individuals, Padma Shri Jadav Payeng, Assam’s very own ‘Forest Man’ and former World and Olympic Champion Padma Bhushan Abhinav Bindra in absentia.

“ We a p p e a l t h e m (AGP) to reconsider their decision to leave the alliance as we went together to the people before the elections and also fought the assembly polls together.

“That is why Chief Minister Sabananda Sonowal has not forwarded the three AGP ministers’ resignation letters to the governor for acceptance as the mandate of the people was for an alliance. We respect the people’s mandate and appeal the AGP to reconsider its decision,” Madhav said. On some of the state BJP legislators coming out publicly against the bill, Madhav said, “They have a genuine concern. They will go to Delhi and we will explain to them to allay their apprehensions”.

The civil society, student unions and regional political parties are protesting against the bill in northeastern states, fearing that their identities would be affected.

“A situation has been

created in Assam by creating a fear psychosis to stall the work of the high-level committee set up by the Centre to go into Clause 6 of Assam Accord.

“We understand that under such circumstances it is normal to be concerned. I assure that all measures will be taken so that the identity of Assam is not affected,” he said.

Clause 6 of the Assam Accord, 1985, envisages constitutional, legislative and administrative safeguards to protect, preserve and promote the cultural, social, linguistic identity and heritage of the Assamese people.

“There is no need for the uncalled for concerns among the people as legislative and administrative measures are being taken to protect the identity, language and culture of Assam and the other northeastern states,” the BJP leader asserted.

“I want to remove the lie that is being spread... I am confident that after telling the truth to the people, they will understand our standpoint,” he said.

“The government will keep in view its obligation to the refugees, the minorities of erstwhile Pakistan, as well as the interests of the people of Assam and the northeast region... That is why I appeal to those spreading misinformation to stop it,” Madhav said.

Anti-CAB protest: School students to boycott R-Day Correspondent

IMPHAL, Jan 17: Stud e n t s o f G ove r n m e n t Higher Secondary School in Imphal on Thursday announced boycotting the Republic Day and other national occasions as protests against Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016 continued unabated in Manipur.

“We have decided not to participate in the celebrations of Republic Day and Independence Day of India,” said N Nobinchandra, general secretary of student union of Johnston Higher Secondary School, Imphal, one of the oldest higher secondary in Manipur.

He alleged the present government at the Centre of attempting to eliminate the smaller ethnic people of Manipur and other Northeast states by granting citizenships to the migrants who entered into the region illegally.

Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016 was a mechanism to eliminate the ethnic people of the region, he said.

Chief minister should also find ways to prevent passage of the Bill by the Rajya Sabha instead of shouting against the bill, he said.

Meanwhile, protests against the passage of Bill continued at different parts of the state. The protests were staged at Thangmeiband, Sagolband in Imphal West, Thoubal Keithel in Thoubal district and other parts of the state.

Bru refugees seek LS polling stations in Tripura relief camps Aizawl, Jan 17 (PTI): An umbrella organisation of the thousands of Bru refugees living in Tripura has appealed to Chief Election Commissioner Sunil Arora to set up polling stations for the Lok Sabha election in their relief camps.

Many of the refugees could not vote during the election to the Mizoram assembly held on November 28 last as polling stations for them was erected 70 kilometres away near the state border, the organisation said in a letter to Arora.

Around 35,000 Bru

refugees living in six relief camps at Kanchanpur subdivision of North Tripura district are originally from Mizoram.

Elderly and ailing people, pregnant women and even many able-bodied persons could not vote as they had to travel 70 km by vehicles to reach Kanhmun village to vote, leading to low poll percentage at those temporary polling stations, Mizoram Br u Displaced People’s Forum (MBDPF) president A Sawibunga, vice-president R Laldawngliana and general secretary Bruno Msha

said in the letter.

The state election department had set up 15 temporary polling stations at Mizoram-Tripura border village of Kanhmun to facilitate over 12,000 Bru voters lodged in the relief camps to cast their votes.

The letter submitted to Arora in Delhi on Tuesday also claimed that the Bru voters were provided lunch at the polling stations only after casting their votes, leaving many of them extremely hungry while standing in the queue to exercise their franchise.

Mizoram bans import of pigs

Guwahati, Jan 17 (Agencies): As an acute and necessary step towards preventing the deadly virus of swine flu in the distaste, the Mizoram government has issued a notice banning the import of pigs and piglets.

According to The Sentinel, Swine flu is a disease the virus of which generally transmits from pigs and affects both pigs and humankind and hence, the latest move to prevent swine flu taken by the Mizoram government is commendable.

As part of the new order by the government, it has instructed deputy commissioners of all the eight districts of the state for

issuing immediate prohibitory orders on the matter.

According to this order, pig and piglets which have so long been imported from other countries will no longer be imported.

This has been announced by the Animal Husbandry and veterinary Minister Dr. K Beichhua recently.

Notably, it is since 2013, the swine flu virus, namely, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) has been costing the lives of over 10,000 swine in Mizoram.

Hence, this has been the need of the hour to tackle with this issue and prevent this disease from taking any more life of the pigs.

This has been believed

that the pigs and piglets imported from Myanmar have carried the disease virus in them as it is there where the disease was known to be prevalent.

Beichhua has also added that although basically the pigs imported from Myanmar are in focus, pigs imported from other countries too have been banned as a move to prevent the outbreak of the PRRS in the state.

Jaitley slams critics of Modi govt M-RVC campaign: Vaccination

New Delhi, Jan 17 (IANS): In a hard-hitting attack on opposition parties, specially the Congress and the Left, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said on Thursday said that a new class of “compulsive contrarians” has emerged after Narendra Modi government came to power and they indulge in “falsehood, subversion and institutional destruction” even if it is against the interest of the country.

In a Facebook post, the senior BJP leader, who is in the US for medical treatment, said that the right to campaign for stifling funds to the economy in the name of autonomy, justifying corruption in the name of institutional independence, attacking judges when the verdict is not favourable, manufacturing facts as in the case of Judge Loya’s death and the Rafale deal were indicative of the mindset of the compulsive contrarians.

“Free speech and the right to dissent are critical components of a democracy but falsehood, subversion and institutional destruction are not,” he said.

Jaitley talked about the press conference by four Supreme Court judges last year and said “it has done more damage to India’s judicial institutions than many would have envisaged.”

He accused compulsive contrarians of adopting double standards. “They

Arun Jaitley could concoct arguments even if they went against the general interest of the country. They could masquerade corruption as crusade,” he said. On Justice Loya case, he said that every fact alleged in public space by the compulsive contrarians was “manufactured” and the judge died a natural death due to a cardiac arrest.

“The campaign went for months altogether. The Compulsive Contrarians included a retired Judge of the Supreme Court and a former Chief Justice of Delhi High Court. They had no hesitation in allowing themselves to support falsehood without factual verification.”

Jaitley said a threejudge Bench of the Supreme Court dismissed every claim made in the case and the judgement was delivered on behalf of the Bench by Justice Dhananjaya Chandrachud. “He was criticised on the social media. What if the same had been delivered by Chief Justice Dipak Misra?

Another vicious campaign of calumny would have been launched against him by the Compulsive Contrarians.”

Jaitley said the contrarians have launched an attack on the selection committee headed by the Prime Minister which transferred the CBI Chief.

He asked if the norm to give two year fixed tenure to CBI chief had improved its functioning.

Referring to Supreme Court Judge A. K. Sikri, who was nominated by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi as his nominee in the selection panel meeting, Jaitely said the member of the Committee “was attacked for a non-existent conflict of interest and the person who had a real conflict of interest and should have refrained from attending the meeting became the accuser.”

He said Leader of Congress in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge was a campaigner for the ousted CBI chief and could not have sat in judgment over his innocence or guilt in the Committee.

“His was a text book case of bias. Any honourable man should have recused himself. His dissent as a biased man is non-est. Yet the conflicted man accuses one of the most honourable Judges of a conflict of interest,” he said. Referring to the press conference by four judges of the Supreme Court last year, Jaitley said

it brought judges into public gaze as “factionalized and battling for their own turf space.”

He said there are a set of extra-adventurist lawyers practising in the highest Court, as in every other courts whose strategy is to over-awe the court. “They threaten to walk out of cases, they make public comments on judges, use media to intimidate the Court. “Having involved themselves in an ugly public conduct, judges find themselves unable to exercise jurisdiction to stop such conduct by others,” he said adding that former Chief Justice Dipak Misra was “attacked” by the compulsive contrarians.

“A precedent has now been legitimised. His successors will find it difficult to escape similar treatment.

The threat to the independence of judiciary can also come from the public pressures that these Contrarians exert on Judges.”

Jaitley said that “collegium proceedings and conversations in the past two years have been faithfully reported in one particular newspaper (a Compulsive Contrarian), thereby underscoring the nexus.”

On RBI, Jaitley said the government in recent months has strongly felt that certain sectors of the economy needed credit and liquidity support. “Every stakeholder in the market

was in agreement with the Government position but the contrarians deflected the credit and liquidity issue to the issue of autonomy. After all the Government was only addressing the autonomous RBI and asking it to resolve the issues which lay in its domain.” Jaitley said the purchase of Rafale combat jets was another case of “concocted falsehood” and pricing, the process, and the offset aspects were upheld by the Supreme Court.

“The Contrarians were proved to be liars,” he said.

“Nations are built by those with positive mindsets and a national vigour, not by the compulsive contrarians.

Didn’t left-liberals find fault with the various actions that Gandhiji took during the freedom movement? Weakening a sovereign elected government and strengthening the unelectable is only a subversion of democracy,” he said. He said the contrarians had picked holes in the proposal to give 10 per cent reservation in education and public jobs to the poor, propagation of Aadhaar and questions were raised over surgical strikes.

Jaitley said there are some in the political system who thought that they were born to rule and some, who were part of the ideological left and the ultra-left, obviously found the Modi government wholly unacceptable.

in schools halted by Delhi HC

NEW DELHI, JAN 16 (AGENCIES): The Delhi High Court Tuesday put on hold till further orders the Delhi government’s ambitious plan to conduct a vaccination campaign in schools across the capital to eliminate measles and control rubella, saying the decision lacks consent of parents.

The measles-rubella (MR) vaccination campaign was to be conducted within a period of three to four weeks, starting January 16.

Justice Vibhu Bakhru, however, in an interim order, suspended the Delhi government’s project and sought the reply of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Delhi government and its Directorate of Education (DoE) by January 21, on a plea stating that no person can be deprived of his life or personal liberty.

The court directed the DoE to coordinate with school principals and also issue advertisements through various modes, including national dailies, explaining the vaccine and its benefits. It also directed that the Delhi government seek consent of parents.

For this, principals will ask teachers to coordinate with parents to take their consent before their child is vaccinated.

Delhi government’s

Delhi High Court standing counsel Ramesh Singh and additional standing counsel Santosh Kumar Tripathi agreed to the court’s direction, and said they will place before the court the steps taken in this regard.

Central government standing counsel Monika Arora and advocate Kushal Sharma said around 25 states have run such a campaign successfully. The court, however, directed the government to place their stand before it.

The court’s direction came on petition filed by students of various private schools, including Modern School, through their parents. The petition sought to quash the DoE’s December 19, 2018, notification of vaccinating children without obtaining consent of the recipients or their legal guardians.

“It is settled principle that choice of an individual,

even in cases of life-saving medical treatment, is an inextricable part of dignity which ought to be protected… The law and procedure, authorising any kind of interference with personal liberty and right to privacy, must also be right, just and fair and not arbitrary, fanciful and oppressive,” the students claimed in their plea.

As per the order to schools, all children aged nine months to less than 15 years will be provided with an additional dose of MR vaccine, regardless of previous vaccination status or history of measles/rubellalike illness.

Under the MR campaign, the departments of health and education are partnering so students and teachers of all schools actively participate. This will include orientation for officers, principals, teachers and students by experts of the Health Department.

According to him, the Modi government has taken many steps to promote the culture of innovation in the country by setting up innovation and incubation centres, allowing start-ups to run even from hostel rooms, launching IMPRINT India initiative, offering Rs 1 lakh per month to the PM Research Fellows, among others.

He said over 100 research projects are currently going on in Indian institutes and universities, and the government has so far set up 2,000 Atal Tinkering Labs and will establish another 3,000 such facilities across the country.

He said participation in Smart India Hackathon has grown from 40,000 to 1.5 lakh in three years.

“On the basis of all this, I am sure our investment in research will grow, and an environment of science, engineering, technology, mathematics, research and attitude of innovation will start in schools...We are encouraging the tendency (among students) to explore solutions to the society’s problems,” he said.

AHMEDABAD, JAN 17 (PTI): Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar Thursday said the IITs, IISERs and universities in the country will mentor schools located close their campuses to ensure that students do not lag behind in mathematics and science subjects.

Highlighting the importance of subjects like science, mathematics, engineering and technology in the 21st century, he said it is vital to foster research tendency among students right from the primary schools.

“Maths can be taught in an entertaining way.

For the students to study and understand maths and science properly, not very big equipment, but simple ideas are required. Hence, primary school teachers play a big role,” Javadekar told reporters here.

“We have decided today- the Modi government has also decided- that IITs, IISERs (Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research), large and good universities will mentor 10-15 nearby schools and ensure that students in those schools are given

NEW DELHI, JAN 17 (IANS): India on Thursday condemned the terror attack at a luxury hotel complex in Kenya’s capital Nairobi that claimed the lives of at least 21 people.

“India strongly condemns the horrific terrorist attack in Dusit D2 Hotel and offices complex in Nairobi on January 15, 2019, which caused loss of innocent lives,” the External Affairs Ministry said in a statement.

“We stand in solidarity with Kenya at this juncture.

“We express our sincere condolences to the families of the victims, as well as to the people and Government of Kenya and wish early recovery to the injured.”

The death toll in Tuesday’s attack has increased from 14 to 21, police in Kenya said on Wednesday night. Twenty eight people were admitted to hospitals and five terrorists were eliminated.

The victims comprise 16 Kenyans, one Briton, one American, and three people of African descent who have not yet been identified.

The Somali jihadi group Al Shabaab, which joined Al Qaeda’s international network in 2012, claimed responsibility for the attack.

Drama in Karnataka

W

hen Karnataka went to the polls on – the outcome was a hung assembly, with the BJP emerging as the largest party, with 104 seats, but failing to win a majority. The popular vote was won by the Congress. BJP won 104 seats with a 36.35 % vote share whereas Congress won 80 seats with a marginally higher vote share of 38.14% than BJP. The Janata Dal (Secular) of the Gowdas won 37 seats with 18.3% of vote share. The Congress had to bite humble pie in accepting H.D.Kumaraswamy as chief minister of the coalition of non-BJP parties. The coalition managed to obtain the support of one BSP and two Independents. It was interesting that the state Governor had decided to go by the spirit of the constitution by inviting the BJP to form the government despite the fact that the Cong-JD(S) coalition having mustered more than the required majority with a total of 120 MLAs. Thus when BJP under former chief minister Yeddyurappa was sworn-in, the short lived government fell even before the trust vote was held because the BJP was woefully short of the simple majority of 112. B.S.Yeddyurappa resigned on May 19,2018 from his post without moving the Supreme Court mandated trust vote in the floor of state Assembly (to prove his majority) barely two and a half days after he was sworn in, beating his own personal record of seven days in 2007. The Congress-JDS coalition under Kumaraswamy took office on May 23,2018 but barely eight months later, simmering discontent rose after the cabinet expansion. The rejig saw some Congress ministers dropped and this sparked the near revolt. According to media reports, the internal differences within the Congress had sparked the near revolt. It was reported that the Congress leaders such as former chief minister Siddaramaiah and another senior leader and cabinet minister in the coalition D.K. Shivkumar. The ego clash between the two leaders was said to be responsible for the crisis within the party legislature. Two independents who withdraw support had stated very clearly that there was no harmony within the coalition(Congress and JDS) while the Congress in particular was wracked with factionalism. The coalition government in Karnataka may survive the threat posed by rebellious MLAs for today but it will be difficult to solve the problem of factionalism within the Congress. The voters of Karnataka have rejected the Congress in the recent assembly election even though the party won a slightly higher percentage of votes.

Being in power should make the Congress more circumspect because it is through the backdoor of coalition. Instead ,the Congress leaders remain as arrogant as ever. The Karnataka crisis may have subsided but it is not over because Congress leaders like to behave like generals but who don’t have soldiers. When the 2019 Lok Sabha election is very crucial for the Congress for survival the party is expected to realise that it needs to put up a good show in order to play a role in any government formation. Instead, the Congress leaders act as if the voters cannot do without them. Karnataka is the only state in the south where BJP has a presence. Karnataka gave BJP 17MPs in 2014 and if Congress continues the same way, the BJP could not only retain back the state but also win a good number of seats in 2019.

DailyDevotion The Call of the Natural Life

When it pleased God…to reveal His Son in me…

—Galatians 1:15-16 The call of God is not a call to serve Him in any particular way. My contact with the nature of God will shape my understanding of His call and will help me realize what I truly desire to do for Him. The call of God is an expression of His nature; the service which results in my life is suited to me and is an expression of my nature. The call of the natural life was stated by the apostle Paul— “When it pleased God…to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him [that is, purely and solemnly express Him] among the Gentiles….”

Service is the overflow which pours from a life filled with love and devotion. But strictly speaking, there is no call to that. Service is what I bring to the relationship and is the reflection of my identification with the nature of God. Service becomes a natural part of my life. God brings me into the proper relationship with Himself so that I can understand His call, and then I serve Him on my own out of a motivation of absolute love. Service to God is the deliberate love-gift of a nature that has heard the call of God. Service is an expression of my nature, and God’s call is an expression of His nature. Therefore, when I receive His nature and hear His call, His divine voice resounds throughout His nature and mine and the two become one in service. The Son of God reveals Himself in me, and out of devotion to Him service becomes my everyday way of life.

Post-mortem

Will Naga integration remain a myth?

T

o amalgamate all the Naga inhabited areas within India and beyond is one of the two major aspirations of the Nagas. Whereas, to bring about the lands of the Nagas in Myanmar to be integrated with Naga territories in India is but international issue. However, integration of Naga territories in NE India is permissible under Art 4 of the Constitution of India.

Whereas, we have already been apprised of by GOI that out of the ongoing Naga political negotiations, the Naga territorial integration remains non-negotiable lest it is perused through democratic process as mentioned above. Also, the Naga negotiating teams too divulged the ground realities to Naga people despite subsequent egoistic assertions at times. And as for my understanding of the situation, any political solution evolved out of the ongoing negotiations will be without territorial integration.

Nevertheless, sovereignty and integration are the aspirations of the Nagas, and it will remain so till we achieve it.

Whereas, it is pertinent for the Nagas to introspect our determination in upholding and promoting the avowed political agendas. By resolutions, by public declarations collectively or otherwise and by preaching every Naga claims to be the champion of Naga cause. Yet, look at how farcical we are: 1.Nagas are so obsessed to continue talking about integration of the lands of Nagas, but we deliberately refuse to unite our hearts through reconciliation which is the prerequisite

T

for the purpose. Let’s not forget how we refused to positively respond to the mediation of the American Baptist leaders in 1997.

2. What is the logic of talking about Naga sovereignty and integration when we have not less than 10 Naga national governments now.

3. What relevance for one to talk about Naga unity when every Naga is hell bent to place personal agenda above the common agenda.

4. What does it matter for one to give angelic statements when he can never walk the talk.

Not because of being a pessimist or optimist, but the above are the challenges.

How Naga integration will be possible? We know well that resolutions after resolutions by Nagaland Legislative Assembly (NLA) on Naga integration is just a mere monologue. Soliloquy is not the answer here. It has to be collectively cohesive.

The 13th Clause of the 16Points Memorandum expressed the desire to let the other Nagas inhabiting the contiguous areas to join the State of Nagaland provided Nagas in those areas are willing to do so. Yet, except the erstwhile Naga Hills and the ENPO area (the erstwhile Tuensang area under NEFA) that formed Nagaland, there was no positive response from Nagas of Manipur in particular at the time of the creation of Nagaland Statehood despite the invitation. And we know that integration cannot happen out of coercion but only out of mutual consent with synchronized determination. Whereas, of all

the Naga areas, it is the Nagas of Manipur who are politically vibrant and the most potential to take requisite initiatives in respect of integration, and therefore I am quoting it.

Whereas, I remembered how Manipur Legislative Assembly had special session to pass resolution for the territorial integrity of Manipur not long ago. I failed to come across news about any reaction of the Naga MLAs opposing such proposition in that session. Presently, there are 4 Congress MLAs, 4 NPF MLAs and 2 BJP MLAs representing the Nagas in Manipur Assembly. If the Nagas in Manipur have genuine desire for Naga integration, their elected representative should have staged walkout from the sitting in such situation. We know 10 Naga MLAs are helpless to change the course of the decision in a House of 60. Yet, symbolic show of protest is legal and is recorded. The Naga MLAs in Manipur, irrespective of belonging to any political party, should have unitedly registered protest against such move against Naga integration inside the Assembly. Had the Nagas been equally sincere in upholding our political agenda, we would have synchronized our actions with transparency. Having failed to defend the agenda of the Nagas in respective spheres by Naga political leaders in Manipur left Nagaland Assembly in the lurch. When we do not walk the talk, we led others to take us casually. Thus, NLA resolutions on Naga integration are made futile due to apathy of

Meanwhile, look at the NLA resolutions on Naga integration particularly the latest one on 20.9.2018 vis-a-vis the participation of the State Govt. in the ongoing tripartite talk between the GOI, the ENPO and the PDA Govt for creation of Eastern Nagaland Statehood. Had Govt. of Nagaland acted on time and reasoned with ENPO leaders a decade ago, Nagaland would not have faced the peril of disintegration today to my belief. Whereas, with a view to divide Nagaland into two, tripartite talk has reportedly begun between the three parties. Whereas, the proposed Eastern Nagaland cannot be created without splitting Nagaland into two. Is PDA Govt. agreeing to disintegrate Nagaland despite adopting successive resolutions on Naga integration? Also, if ENPO is serious about its demand, ultimately the 20 elected members have to prove their support to it democratically too. In other words, so long as these members remain clung to their present official positions, how will one takes it to be a serious cause.

In the light of above, in the process of Nagas harping on integration, we are rather on the verge of disintegrating what even was even integrated, and therefore making it a myth than of a reality.

A dobashi of par excellence

T

he Dobashi was the first pillar in the governing structure of the Naga Hills during the British Government in the nineteenth century.

The Government appointed the Dobashi for the qualities of character of the man, proficiency in spoken language of Assamese, not for formal education.

The Dobashi was one who carried good reputation and great respect from his people. He was good health and of good built with a keen sense of good sense.

A high native Officer of old was touring the interior areas; the Villagers asked him how long it would take him to become a Dobashi.

Pu Lengjang Kuki of Naga Hills was proficient in Assamese, Angami, Sema and surprisingly understood English. He was a Dobashi par excellence.

Normally, there was one Dobashi from each of the Villages; Lengjang was the Dobashi for all the Kuki Villages of Naga Hills and ultimately he rose to be the Head Dobashi under Deputy Commissioner, Naga Hills, Kohima.

The Kuki-Rebellion of Manipur in 1917-1918 was during the dobashiship of Lengjang Kuki of Naga Hills. The Kuki Villages of Naga Hills did not join the Kuki Rebellion of Manipur.

In the opinion of this Speaker, this very important factor yeasted the destiny of the relationship of the Kuki of Naga Hills and the Naga of Naga HiIls from very early times.

The Kukis of Naga Hills always supported the Naga National Council.

It is so to this day. Lengjang Kuki signed the 1929 Naga Club Memorandum to the Simon Commission. This tells a lot about the sagacity and acumen of the Man -Lengjang.

Man like Lengjang Kuki appears in history only once in seven generations.

Kumbh Mela and Naga cultural team: A window of opportunity for evangelism

W

orld’s largest religious festival, the Kumbh Mela, has began in Prayagraj, previously known as Allahabad in UP on the 15th January 2019. And it will end on the 4th March 2019, a 55 days Hindus religious bathing festival at the confluence of the river Ganges, the Yamuna, and the Saraswati.

According to the media report, they are expecting up to 150 million people, including a million foreign visitors. 2019 Kumbh Mela religious festival was organized with an aim to make it a mega event spending an amount of Rs. 4200 crores by the Uttar Pradesh BJP government under the leadership of hindu priest turned Chief minister Yogi Adityanath. This was not the first time Kumbha Mela was held. It has been celebrated over the centuries for the hindus pilgrimage but we Nagas were never attracted by this event until very recently.

This year Kumbh Mela in Allahabad has drawn much of our attention, with a feeling of insecurity and suspicion in our mind.

Our local newspapers have reported that about 373 people from Nagaland, probably Naga Christian majority, are participating in 2019 Kumbh Mela festival in Allahabad between January 22 and 24.

It was informed that these selected Naga delegates will showcase the Naga cultural heritage in Kumbh

Mela during festivals under the initiative of Sanskar Bharati Nagaland (SBN) , and financially sponsored by the Ministry of Culture.

The central and UP government has even constructed a simulated Naga “Morung” in the venue to represent Naga culture at Kumbh Mela. This news has ignited many questions among the leaders of the church and also in the minds of the people in Nagaland. What does Kumbh Mela has to do with the Nagas? Do the Naga Christians have any cultural lineage with the Hindu Kumbh Mela bathing festivals? Can’t the Nagas promote their cultural heritage in other festivals of India, rather than Kumbh Mela? Is there any compulsive guideline imposed by the center upon the state leadership? Many unanswered questions are awaiting for a reply. And I am sure many more Naga Christian citizens will raise new issues in this matter.

In such a time like this one when a staunch Hindu religious party, BJP is ruling India, the invitation of the Naga cultural troupe to Kumbh Mela does not only create a suspicious attitude in the mind of the Christian Nagas but they also feel threaten. I wish that the state leadership should also have shown their Christian stance clear by saying “No” to this kind of invitation. Ironically, money and power game happened to be more charming than our

own faith. And this chemistry might have worked again for the Kumbh Mela decision. But apart from this fear factor or Naga Christian defensive attitude, is there any other way that we can convert this crisis into opportunity for the Lord?

I believe that Naga “Christians” representing in Kumbh Mela as a cultural troupe has opened a door of opportunity for evangelism, if the participants are “intentional “in this aspect.

Officially a Naga contingent of 373 people is going to Kumbh Mela for cultural purposes but they can also be the best representatives for the Kingdom of God if they are convicted by their Christian faith. As we know, in every crisis there is also an opportunity. If one door seems to be closed, God opens the other door for us. Opportunities or crises are all the product of our mindset or attitude to the event. Naga Christians participating in 2019 Kumbh Mela can be taken as the biggest blunder in Naga Christian history for some church members. It can be seen as surrendering of our faith to the Hinduism under the political maneuvering of the BJP. It’s a time of lamentation for many believers in Nagaland. This reaction is also an intrinsic pattern of any religious community.

Reader’s Post Sir,

Make life easier for all

Travelling is worthwhile inspite of the numerous bumps and jerking one has to endure along the way as government has undertaken repair of road along the Purana Bazar stretch right upto 4th Mile and beyond. That particular stretch has been a problem for many years and unless it is seriously given a thorough and proper levelling, the condition will revert back to what it used to be. Public only want real improvements in roads as it would make life easier for all.

SC deadline to Lokpal search panel Asks to submit a panel of names for Lokpal by February 28 search committee was constituted by the centre to recommend names to the selection panel, headed by the Prime Minister, for appointment of an anticorruption Lokpal. The committee is headed by top court Justice (retd) Ranjana Prakash Desai. Advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for NGO Common Cause, raised concerns about the functioning of the search committee, but was advised to “stay positive” by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi.

“Don’t look at things from a negative point of view. Look at things positively and the world would be a better place. We are trying to make the world a better place,” Chief Justice Gogoi said.

The Chief Justice then jokingly said, “Bhushan, you know more things than the judges of this court” after the senior lawyer said no one knows much about this committee. Earlier this month, the top court had

that a meeting of all NE chief ministers will be convened at the earliest to discuss the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill in detail.

Despite all the above safeguards that Nagaland has, NDPP opined that the government of India exempted Nagaland from the purview of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill when it was moved for approval of the Rajya Sabha.

NDPP asserted that it was also an opportunity for Nagaland to take a fresh look at the prevailing laws and safeguards and undertake necessary measures “to enhance and strengthen our laws and regulations.”

It said PDA government has already instituted a high powered committee to look at those aspects and put forth recommendations to the state government, which would include consideration of introduction of Work Permits, extension of ILP to the entire state including Dimapur district and use of modern technology to better monitor and effectively implement and strengthen existing laws.

NDPP further opined that introduction of work permits would enable the government machinery to better monitor the floating and labour population while also creating avenues

to increase the revenue of the state through such a mechanism.

It affirmed that PDA government would leave no stone unturned and take every possible measure to ensure that the citizens of Nagaland were protected and safeguarded from any eventuality.

It also assured people of Nagaland that PDA and its leadership would continue to strive for the interest of the people. NDPP expressed confidence that the “people are intelligent enough not to be swayed by mere political rhetoric aimed at gaining cheap political gains by making misleading statements.”

CHANDIGARH, JAN 17 (IANS): A special CBI court in Panchkula on Thursday sentenced Dera Sacha Sauda sect chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh to life imprisonment in the murder case of journalist Ram Chander Chhatrapati.

The court also sentenced his three close aides, Krishan Lal, Kuldeep Singh and Nirmal Singh, who were also found guilty of the murder of Chhatrapati in 2002, to life imprisonment.

Ram Rahim and the three others were convicted by the CBI court on January 11. All the four were convicted under Section 302 (murder) and 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

The judgement came over 16 years after the murder of the journalist.

Ram Rahim is already lodged in Sunaria jail near Rohtak after his conviction

on August 25, 2017 for the rape of two women disciples. He was sentenced to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment in the case.

The sect chief along with three of Dera’s followers namely Kuldeep Singh, Nirmal Singh, and Krishan Lal was convicted for the death of the Sirsabased scribe by the special court on January 11. In its chargesheet against the accused, India’s premier investigating agency, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) indicated how the order to murder Chhatrapati was known to the sect chief.

Carpenters with the Dera, Nirmal and Kuldeep Singh were given a walkietalkie and a gun, which belonged to Krishan Lal, said the investigating officials.

Following the orders to murder Chhatrapati who was the editor of a regional

evening daily called ‘Poora Sach’ at the time, the two carpenters shot the victim at point-blank range right outside his residence in Sirsa.

It is believed that Chhatrapati was murdered after an anonymous letter published by him in his daily prompted the Punjab and Haryana High Court to launch an inquiry into allegations of sexual exploitation against the selfstyled godman and Dera chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh.

After he was shot on 24 October 2002, Chhatrapati was shifted to Apollo Hospital in New Delhi where he succumbed to gunshot wounds on 21 November 2002. His family sought a CBI inquiry into his death in 2003 which led to the premier agency probing Chhatrapati’s death. CBI filed a chargesheet in this regard in July of 2007.

CAB needs to be dealt with pragmatic approach: CNTC

(From p-1) Of late, the council said the apprehension over the issue of illegal immigrants being granted citizenship status would not have found much ground for the Nagas and can be checked, if provisions such as the Inner Line Permit Act under the BEFRA 1873, the 16-point agreement, Nagaland Land and Revenue Amendment Act were truly implemented in letter and spirit. “Whether Indian citizen or not, many illegal immigrants of doubtful identities have already entered all our interior districts of the state,” CNTC stated.

Further, CNTC pointed out that despite of having Article 371A, Nagaland Land Revenue and Amendment Act 1978, many (illegal immigrants) have been able to possess valid documents like residential certificates, driving licenses, Aadhaar cards etc. and have started to even own immovable properties due to “our own gullibility, craze for easy money and the lack of farsightedness and concern for our children’s future.”

It pointed out that the Nagaland Land and Revenue Regulation Amendment

Act passed by Nagaland Legislative Assembly on August 21, 1978, where only indigenous inhabitants of Nagaland shall acquire or possess land, seemed to become a mere act on paper only without any true implementation. In this regard, the CNTC has appealed Nagas to be realistic and understand the ground situation. “Mere voicing out in print media or showing resentment on social media platforms over the Citizenship Amendment Bill...will not bring any solution unless we walk the talk start doing our part,” it maintained.

Despite the presence of various provisions and privileges granted to the Nagas, CNTC said the failure of Nagas to implement them showed their own weakness

and failure time and again.

From time to time, the cry of ILP to be imposed all over the state is heard from every corner at various intervals but again fades out after sometime, CNTC said.

When the ILP Act is already in force in 10 districts of the state, it said the state government machinery and every organization together have failed to put it into force. CNTC, therefore, asserted that it was high time now that Nagas need a collective effort “to curb this silent invasion before times runs out.” It cautioned that Nagas were already on the verge of becoming minority in their own land. “Thus, the answer lies in our own hands to decide our fate before it is too late,” CNTC underscored.

While concluding his speech, Azo expressed his gratitude to all those involved for making the festival a success.

Speaking on the occasion, Chakhesang Youth Front president called upon the gathering to preserve and protect their culture and traditions.

“If our culture is lost, our roots are lost,” he pointed out, while urging the community to follow the resolutions adopted

by Chakhesang Public Organisation (CPO) for society’s betterment and welfare.

Phek village cultural troupe and Leshemi village children (Uwhe) gave special presentations, while indigenous tool race and bamboo pole race competition and snail eating competition were held on the concluding.

Meanwhile, Phek de puty commissioner Orenthung Lotha attended the closing ceremony of the three-day festival as a valedictory guest.

The festival was organised by the State government in collaboration with Chakhesang Public Organisation .

PANAJI, JAN 17 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi will interact with BJP’s booth-level workers from South Goa parliamentary constituency through tele-conferencing on January 20. Around 4,000 boothlevel workers would attend the interaction to be held at a school ground in Margao town of South Goa, located around 35 km from Panaji, BJP Lok Sabha member Narendra Sawaikar told reporters on Wednesday.

Sawaikar, who represents South Goa constituency in the Lok Sabha, expressed confidence that the BJP will retain both the parliamentary constituencies (the other being North Goa) from the state in the forthcoming general elections. “Goa has witnessed a big development push as the BJP has been at the helm at the Centre and in the state,” he said. Various infrastructure works, including the construction of bridges, are among the highlights of the Union government’s performance, he added.

However, NDPP said sensing the pulse of the neighbouring states, which did not have the provisions and protection of Article 371A, and to place its support in solidarity to the voice of North-Eastern brethrens, the State Cabinet had passed a resolution to appraise the Centre to review the CAB.

The selection panel includes the Prime Minister, the Chief Justice of India, the Lok Sabha Speaker and an eminent jurist. The rules also call for a leader of opposition, but the Congress, the largest opposition group, doesn’t have enough numbers to make the cut. In 2014, when the BJP came to power, the Congress was reduced to just 44 seats in the Lok Sabha.

The top court was also told that the selection panel took note that the search committee was to comprise a minimum of seven people, including chairperson, with experience in anti-corruption policy, public administration, vigilance, policy making, finance including insurance and banking, law and management, etc. The law to set up a Lokpal or anticorruption ombudsman was enacted in 2014 after a nationwide campaign by activist Anna Hazare that included Arvind Kejriwal and Prashant Bhushan.

In a condolence message to Mrs. Medovino Phizo, the chief minister described late Phizo as “a dear family friend, a thorough gentleman and a man of integrity.”

Stating that late Guu has been a close friend and associate all these years, Rio said his demise was a personal loss to him. “I recall my association with him over the years and found him to be a gentleman who always had love, respect and concern for others,” he said.

The chief minister also said late Guu and his family members grew up under extremely difficult and challenging circumstances and they had to endure great difficulties.

The sacrifices made by them will always be remembered by our society for all times to come, Rio said and expressed heartfelt condolences to members of the bereaved family.

directed the centre to bring on record the steps taken since September to set up a search committee for the Lokpal. Advocate Prashant Bhushan had said that the government hadn’t even made public the members of the search committee on its website.

In July, the top court had rejected the centre’s submission on the issue of setting up of a search committee for the Lokpal as “wholly unsatisfactory” and demanded a “better affidavit”. The court was told that the selection committee members had met on July 19, 2018 to deliberate upon names for members of the search committee.

Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress lawmaker and leader of single largest party in opposition in Lok Sabha, was also invited for the meeting but he had declined to attend it saying he was invited by the government as a “special invitee” without rights of participation.

NEW DELHI, JAN 17 (AGENCIES): The Supreme Court has asked the search committee on Lokpal to recommend a panel of names for appointment of the country’s first anti-corruption watchdog

by February end. Noting that the search committee, which was constituted in September last year had its first meeting only on January 16, Chief Justice Gogoi pulled up the centre and asked Attorney General KK Venugopal, “Why does everything happen when the court is to hear the matter?”

Venugopal told the bench there were certain problems like lack of infrastructure and manpower due to which the search committee was not able to hold deliberations on the issue. The centre was then directed to do what was required to enable the committee to complete its work.

The court will hear the matter again on March 7.

In December 2015, following the discovery of defeat devices installed in the cars of the company, Volkswagen India had recalled 3,23,700 vehicles to fix the emission software.

Tests conducted in India had found that some models of the car were emitting pollutants as much as 1.1

Further, the scope of the angel tax exemption will cover all past and future investments of the startups, and it will also apply to startups that were incorporated even before 2016.

Since the launch of the Startup India Action Plan on January 16, 2016, 15,113 startups have been recognised under the programme across 492 districts in 29 states and six Union Territories.

Now, with the growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), “there may be a need for more currency in the system,” the RBI official said during an interactive session here.

Post-demonetisation, the government re-introduced Rs 500 banknote but the Rs 1,000 currency note was discontinued.

However, the RBI introduced banknotes of denomination 2,000 during the period.

Startups whose paidup share capital, including premium, does not exceed Rs 10 crore will be eligible for this exemption. And, the eligible investor will have returned income of Rs 50 lakh or more for the previous financial year with net worth exceeding Rs 2 crore.

New Delhi, Jan 17 (IANS): In a big boost to startups and their investors, the government has liberalised the norms including doing away with the need for an inter-ministerial committee’s approval for availing angel tax exemption.

As per the notification, startups and investors wishing to claim exemption from angel tax will apply to DIPP, and the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) may grant approval and issue the certificate within a period of 45 days.

May survives no-confidence vote London, Jan 17 (PTI): Beleagured British Prime Minister Theresa May has appealed to Opposition leaders to “put self-interest aside” and work with her to secure a new Brexit deal after she narrowly survived a no-confidence vote, a day after her divisive divorce agreement with the EU was overwhelmingly rejected

by MPs. The prime minister won Parliament’s first noconfidence vote in a British government in 26 years by 325 votes to 306, a majority of 19, on Wednesday.

Speaking outside 10 Downing Street after emerging victorious, 62-year-old May said her government has won the confidence of Parliament.

This now gives “us all the opportunity to focus on finding a way forward on Brexit”, she said.

Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer said that Ali had inspired billions of people around the world with his boxing accolades as well as his openness about his conversion to the Muslim faith, according to the CourierJournal. The announcement came just a day before Ali would have turned 77.

Officials said they hope to finish the process of renaming the Louisville International Airport to the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport

by June.

“Muhammad Ali belonged to the world, but he only had one hometown, and fortunately, that is our great city of Louisville,” Fischer was quoted as saying by the Hill newspaper.

“Muhammad became one of the most well-known people to ever walk the Earth and has left a legacy of humanitarianism and athleticism that has inspired billions of people.

Trump picks three IndianAmericans for key US posts

WASHINGTON, Jan 17 (PTI): US President Donald Trump has nominated three influential Indian-Americans, including a nuclear expert, to important administration positions.

Rita Baranwal was nominated for the post of Assistant Secretary of Energy (Nuclear Energy), Aditya Bamzai for member of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board and Bimal Patel as the assistant secretary of Treasury.

The nomination of Ms Baranwal, Mr Bamzai and Mr Patel was sent to the Senate on Wednesday.

So far, Tr ump has nominated or appointed more than three dozen Indian-Americans in key positions.

Nikki Haley, the first cabinet ranking IndianAmerican and Raj Shah, the first Indian-American deputy Press Secretary, have left the Trump administration.

Ms Baranwal holds the post of Director, Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear (GAIN) initiative. If confirmed by the Senate, she will be heading the powerful Office of Nuclear Energy.

773mn unique email IDs leaked: Researcher

San Francisco, Jan 17 (IANS): In what could be the biggest data breach in recent years, a whopping 773 million unique email IDs and 21 million unique passwords have been leaked, a researcher said on Thursday.

The leaked files, however, do not include information such as credit card details.

According to web security researcher Troy Hunt, this data leak is part of the “Collection #1” which is a set of email addresses and passwords totalling 2,692,818,238 rows.

“It’s made up of many different individual data breaches from literally thousands of different sources,” Hunt posted on troyhunt. com on the day.

“In total, there are 1,160,253,228 unique combinations of email addresses and passwords. This is when treating the password as case sensitive but the email address as not case sensitive.

“This also includes some junk because hackers being hackers, they don’t always neatly format their data dumps into an easily consumable fashion.

“The unique email addresses totalled 772,904,991.

“Now MPs have made it clear what they don’t want, we must all work constructively together to set out what Parliament does want.

This is the headline you’re seeing as this is the volume of data that has now been loaded into Have I Been Pwned (HIBP),” Hunt added.

Several people reached out to the web security expert last week and pointed to a collection of 12,000 files with a total size of 87GB, and nearly 2.7 billion records, hosted on MEGA.

She will also be responsible for the department’s nuclear technology research and the development and management of the department’s nuclear technology infrastructure.

Previously, Ms Baranwal served as director of the Technology Development and Application at Westinghouse and was a manager in Materials Technology at Bechtel Bettis, where she led research and development in nuclear fuel materials for US naval reactors.

A Yale graduate, Mr Bamzai teaches and writes about civil procedure, administrative law, federal courts, national security law and computer crime.

He has earlier served as a law clerk to Justice Antonin Scalia of the US Supreme Court and to Judge Jeffrey Sutton of the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

Before entering the academy, Mr Bamzai served as an attorney-adviser in the Office of legal counsel of the US Department of Justice, and as an appellate attorney in both private practice and for the National Security Division of the justice department.

Jeremy Corbyn argued that May’s “zombie” administration had lost the right to govern during a six hour passionate debate in the House of Commons on his motion. His party has not ruled out tabling further noconfidence motions.

Corbyn has made it clear that before any “positive discussions” can take place, the prime minister should rule out a no-deal Brexit.

After her victory, May told MPs that she would “continue to work to deliver on the solemn promise to the people of this country to deliver on the result of the referendum and leave the European Union”.

She invited leaders of all parties to have individual meetings with her on the way ahead for Brexit, starting tonight, but called on them to approach the issue with a “constructive spirit”.

“We must find solutions that are negotiable and command sufficient support in this House,” May said.

During her address,

the prime minister said she has held “constructive” meetings and will be meeting MPs along with senior government officials in the coming days.

May also reiterated a promise to return to the Commons on Monday to give MPs another vote on her plans.

“The House has put its confidence in this government. I stand ready to work with any member of this House to deliver Brexit and ensure that this House retains the confidence of the British people,” she said in the House of Commons.

The Democratic Unionist Party, which props up May’s minority government, also voted to keep her administration in power despite their strong opposition to the Brexit deal.

May’s divorce deal to leave the EU was overwhelmingly rejected by MPs Tuesday, triggering a no-confidence motion against her government and leaving the country with no plans for Brexit on March 29.

9 Nine arrested over Kenya hotel attack L ONDON , J AN 1 7 (AGENCIES): Nine people have been arrested in Kenya following an attack on a luxury hotel compound in the capital Nairobi that killed at least 21 people.

All five militants who stormed the DusitD2 hotel and business complex on Tuesday have been killed, officials say, and a major hunt is under way to find those who helped organise it.

Somalia-based Islamist group al-Shabab says it was behind the attack.

Kenya’s Red Cross says everyone who was missing has now been accounted for. Kenyan media reports that the wife of one of the suspected attackers has been arrested in Kiambu county, just north of Nairobi.

Police said they had identified Ali Salim Gichunge, also known as Farouk, through the car used in the attack. President Uhuru Kenyatta said on Tuesday that five jihadis carried out the attack, and all were “eliminated” by security forces after a 19-hour siege.

US envoy on Afghanistan arrives in Pakistan for talks drawal from Afghanistan.

Zalmay Khalilzad (File)

Islamabad, Jan 17 (IANS): US President Donald Trump’s Special Envoy on Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad arrived in Pakistan on Thursday to discuss with the senior civil and military leadership the latest efforts to bring peace to the war-torn country.

The US envoy was initially scheduled to arrive in the federal capital on Tuesday. However, the visit was rescheduled after Khalilzad was said to be engaged in meetings in Kabul, Geo News reported.

He was expected to discuss the Afghan peace process, talks with the Taliban and the US Army’s with-

The Express Tribune cited the US diplomatic officials in Pakistan as saying that Khalilzad was likely to push Pakistani officials to ensure the Afghan Taliban’s involvement in the peace process.

They said senior US State Department official Lisa Curtis will also be part of all the meetings, according to the daily.

Khalilzad, who met Taliban representatives last month in Abu Dhabi, is leading an inter-agency delegation to India, China, Afghanistan and Pakistan from January 8-21 to “facilitate a negotiated settlement to the conflict in Afghanistan”.

His trip comes after the US President signalled that he would bring home half of the 14,000 US troops in Afghanistan as he grows increasingly impatient over America’s longest-ever war.

Trump had also criticized India earlier, saying that it is not doing enough for peace and stability in Afghanistan.

Human diet causing ‘catastrophic’ damage to planet: study PARIS, Jan 17 (Agencies): The way humanity produces and eats food must radically change to avoid millions of deaths and “catastrophic” damage to the planet, according to a landmark study published Thursday.

According to AFP, the key to both goals is a dramatic shift in the global diet -- roughly half as much sugar and red meat, and twice as many vegetables, fruits and nuts, a consortium of three dozen researchers concluded in The Lancet, a medical journal.

“We are in a catastrophic situation,” co-author Tim Lang, a professor at the University of London and policy lead for the EATLancet Commission that compiled the 50-page study, told AFP. Currently, nearly a billion people are hungry and another two billion are eating too much of the wrong foods, causing epidemics of obesity, heart disease and diabetes.

Unhealthy diets account for up to 11 million avoidable premature deaths every year, according to the most recent Global Disease Burden report.

global food system is the single largest emitter of greenhouse gases, the biggest driver of biodiversity loss, and the main cause of deadly algae blooms along coasts and inland waterways.

Agriculture -- which has transformed nearly half the planet’s land surface -- also uses up about 70 percent of the global fresh water supply.

“To have any chance of feeding 10 billion people in 2050 within planetary boundaries” -- the limits on Earth’s capacity to absorb human activity -- “we must adopt a healthy diet, slash food waste, and invest in technologies that reduce environmental impacts,” said co-author Johan Rockstrom, director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Change Impact Research.

“It is doable but it will take nothing less than global agricultural revolution,” he told AFP. The cornerstone of “the great food transformation” called for in the study is a template human diet of about 2500 calories per day.

“We are not saying everyone has to eat in the same way,” Lang said by phone.

The landmark health study in The Lancet calls on people to double their consumption of vegetables, fruits and nuts.

“But broadly -- especially in the rich world -- it means a reduction of meat and dairy, and a major increase in plant consumption.”

The diet allows for about seven grammes (a quarter of an ounce) of red meat per day, and up to 14.

A typical hamburger patty, by comparison, is 125 to 150 grammes.

For most rich nations, and many emerging ones such as China and Brazil, this would represent a drastic five-to-ten-fold reduction.

Beef is the main culprit.

Not only do cattle pass massive quantities of planetwarming methane, huge swathes of carbon-absorbing forests -- mostly in Brazil --

are cut down every year to make room for them.

“For climate, we know that coal is the low-hanging fruit, the dirtiest of fossil fuels,” said Rockstrom. “On the food side, the equivalent is grain-fed beef.”

It takes at least five kilos of grain to produce a kilo of meat.

And once that steak or lamb chop hits the plate, about 30 percent will wind up in the garbage bin.

Dairy is also limited to about one cup (250 grammes) of whole milk -or its equivalent in cheese or yoghurt -- per day, and only

one or two eggs per week.

At the same time, the diet calls for a more than 100 percent increase in legumes such as peas and lentils, along with vegetables, fruits and nuts.

Grains are considered to be less healthy sources of nutrients.

“We can no longer feed our population a healthy diet while balancing planetary resources,” said The Lancet editor-in-chief Richard Horton.

“For the first time in 200,000 years of human history, we are severely out of sync with the planet and Nature.”

The report drew heavy fire from the livestock and dairy industry, and some experts.

“It goes to the extreme to create maximum attention, but we must be more responsible when making serious dietary recommendation,” said Alexander Anton, secretary general of the European Dairy Association, noting that dairy products are “packed” with nutrients and vitamins.

icole Kidman is revealing how her husband, Keith Urban, responded when he saw her disheveled character in her latest big screen film, “Destroyer.”

“I think he was shocked,” Kidman told Entertainment Tonight on Sunday.

“Audiences as well, which is fantastic. I mean, obviously, that’s something that we were hoping we would create, a different person, and that’s what I’m always looking to do, is to become a different person.”

The 51-year-old actress also praised the country crooner for his ability to understand how seriously she takes her craft and fully supporting her through all of her commitments.

“I think I’m just very lucky to have a husband that just gets it,” she said.

“He’s a musician. He’s very, very artistic. He understands what it is being married to an actor.

eteran actor Anil Kapoor on Thursday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and said he was left inspired by their conversation.

“I had the opportunity to meet our honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modiji today and I stand humbled and inspired in the wake of our conversa-

tion. His vision and his charisma are infectious and I’m grateful for the chance to have witnessed it in person,” Anil tweeted along with photographs of his meeting with Modi.

In the photographs, the “Mr. India” actor is seen greeting the PM. Last week, film fraternity members like Karan

Johar, Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal also met Modi in the capital. The agenda was to thank him for reducing the GST on film tickets, and to discuss how the film world can be involved more closely in the process of nation building.

In the action-filled drama, Kidman portrays Erin Bell, a Los Angeles detective who violently takes down members of a vicious gang whom she has a deep history with.

The role earned Kidman a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress.

In December, Kidman spoke to ET about her fierce role in the violent flick, which included an intense makeup test at her home — something she said was a huge adjustment for her.

“When it becomes in your home and you’re just kind of there, it’s very gritty,” Kidman said at the time. “What happens is it becomes authentic, so then it just becomes, like, ‘Oh, this is very real to me.

I’m in this skin. I’m in this person. I’m not standing on the outside trying to make this happen.’”

‘Delhi Crime Story’ to have world premiere at Sundance 2019

“D

elhi Crime Story”, a seven-part series from award-winning IndoCanadian filmmaker Richie Mehta, will have its world premiere at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival.

Based on real-life events and the investigation of the capital’s most notorious gang rape case, the series is centered around the heroic actions of the Delhi police to catch the culprits and bring justice to the victim in record time, said a statement. Produced

by Golden Karavan and Ivanhoe Pictures, the series showcases the investigation led by a female officer who, with the eyes of the world upon her was driven by the crime’s brutality to find the perpetrators despite the difficulties she faced in the sprawling city.

The series is a result of a strong collaboration between the director and the women who helped bring this to life.

“Delhi Crime Story” is the only series from India to be invited to this year’s festival. Filmed entirely in Delhi, India, the production prides itself on providing a unique voice in terms of the contemporary treatment of women and how one crime changed the public discourse.

The show’s ensemble

cast is led by Shefali Shah and includes Adil Hussain, Denzil Smith, Rasika Duggal, Rajesh Tailang and Yashaswini Dayama. All seven episodes of Season One have been written and directed by Mehta.

“There were numerous challenges and risks with this series. We wanted to illustrate and explore a crime that is so incomprehensible to most people that you don’t know where to start to think about it. But it’s a topic that needs to be addressed,” Mehta said.

“This led us to the production of a multiple part television series, because there is so much to explore.

And it all unfolds under the auspices of a police thriller procedural, which - based on real-life events - is gripping,” she added. Shefali said the experience has been “incredibly consuming and gratifying”.

“It was a utopian vision which was driven by idealism and required pragmatism to effectuate it. Doing a show based on a real-life

incident such as this requires immense sensitivity and precision to respect the truth, which is exactly what Richie had. He had facts, years of research, honesty, sensitivity and the passion to lead us, and yet he believed that each one of us was collaborator with him on this.

“Working under difficult circumstances, on a tight budget and a short period of time isn’t easy nor possible unless every single person on the team is insanely passionate, involved and willing to give more than their 100 percent. And that is exactly what this team had. Becoming Vartika and creating her with Richie and a fabulous team has been one of my most enriching experiences,” she said.

Sundance will showcase several episodes of the series as part of its returning Indie Episodic category, which was officially launched last year. This year’s Festival takes place in Park City, Utah between January 24 and February 3.

Asian Cup: Japan beat Uzbekistan 2-1

Al Ain, Jan 17 (Agencies): Japan have secured top spot in AFC Asian Cup 2019 Group F after coming from behind to beat Uzbekistan 2-1 at the Khalifa bin Zayed Stadium on Thursday.

It initially looked as

though it would be Uzbekistan that would finish the group stage with a perfect record of three consecutive wins, when Eldor Shomurodov broke the deadlock with a lovely run and finish.

However, it did not

take the Japanese long to respond through a Yoshinori Muto header, before Tsukasa Shiotani’s stunning long-range effort handed them maximum points.

Takashi Inui was the first to really threaten for

Japan 19 minutes in when a ball was cleared to him on the edge of the box, with his well-struck halfvolley sending Ignatiy Nesterov sprawling to his left to make the save.

Nonetheless, it was the Uzbeks who broke the deadlock in the 40th minute when courtesy of a brilliant solo effort by Eldor Shorumodov, who is fast emerging as one of the revelations of the tournament.

Running onto Dostonbek Khamdamov’s probing pass down the right, the 23year-old powered his way past Tomoaki Makino and showed lovely feet to skip inside Genta Miura before poking a shot past Daniel Schmidt for his fourth goal in three matches.

Having fallen behind – and in real danger of finishing second and meeting defending champion Australia in the Round of 16 – the Samurai Blue needed to awaken from their slumber and it took them all of three minutes to respond.

Sei Muroya was the architect as he produced a brilliant down to get around Ikromjon Alibaev on the wing and race to-

Halep, Nishikori advance at Australian Open

Simona Halep

MELBOURNE, Jan 17 (Agencies): Top seed Simona Halep was forced to dig deep to stay in the Australian Open on a day of epic battles Thursday, that saw Japanese pair Naomi Osaka and Kei Nishikori survive but 2014 champion Stan Wawrinka crash out.

The world No. 1 Romanian staggered through against American Sofia Kenin 6-3, 6-7 (5/7), 6-4, but it was far from convincing and her second three-set test in a row.

In another titanic battle, Canadian Milos Raonic ousted Wawrinka in 4 tightly-contested sets that all went to tie-breaks, while

Kei Nishikori

Nishikori was stretched to a draining 5 sets against Ivo Karlovic before sinking to his knees in relief.

Seventh seed Dominic Thiem limped out when he retired while losing 7-5, 6-4, 2-0 to young Australian wildcard Alexei Popyrin.

Thiem went through a first round five-setter against Benoit Paire that finished in the early hours of Wednesday morning and he never looked 100 percent.

US Open champion and 4th seed Osaka had it much easier, sweeping past Slovenia’s Tamara Zidansek 6-2, 6-4 with the roof closed on Margaret

Court Arena after rain interrupted the opening major of the year.

The 21-year-old’s breakthrough at Flushing Meadow over Serena Williams made her a new standard bearer for tennis in her homeland, Asia and the next generation of women, and she is working hard on living up to the hype.

In contrast, Asia’s top-ranked men’s player Nishikori needed an energy-sapping 3 hours and 48 minutes to get past big-serving Croat Karlovic 6-3, 7-6 (8/6), 5-7, 5-7, 7-6 (10/7) in humid conditions.

Also, former Commonwealth Games champion Parapulli Kashyap bowed out of the tournament after a 17-21, 23-25 loss to Anthony Sinisuka Ginting of Indonesia.

16th seed Raonic emerged the victor against Wawrinka, a three-time Grand Slam champion who is on the comeback trail from injury.

The Swiss, unseeded for the first time since his debut in 2006, fell to the Canadian 6-7 (4/7), 7-6 (8/6), 7-6 (13/11), 7-6 (7/5).

Raonic, who got to the Australian Open semifinals in 2016 before losing to Andy Murray, will next face France’s Pierre-Hugues Herbert who beat last year’s semi-finalist Hyung Cheon of South Korea.

Despite being seeded 6 and 7 respectively, neither Elina Svitolina or Karolina Pliskova has progressed further than the last 8 at the Australian Open.

But self-assured Svitolina is bubbling with confidence after dismantling Viktoria Kuzmova 6-4, 6-1, while Pliskova woke up after losing the first set to race past Madison Brengle 4-6, 6-1, 6-0.

And, three minutes before the hour mark, Japan edged ahead – this time courtesy of a wonder strike by Shiotani, who must have been inspired the familiar surrounding where he plays his club football with Al Ain. A ball into the box was half-cleared and fell to the edge of the box, where Shiotani met with a stunning strike that had Nesterov beaten all ends up.

At this point, Japan were not only on track to completing the comeback on the night, but had also overtaken their opponents at the top of the group.

While the White Wolves did show some endeavour in trying to force their way back into the contest, they barely threatened the Japan goal bar an 86th-minute drive from Davron Khashimov, but Schmidt was alert to the danger and tipped it over smartly to secure the win for Japan.

Juventus win Italian Super Cup

Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini lifts the trophy following their victory in the Italian Super Cup final on Wednesday.

JEDDAH, Jan 17 (Agencies): Cristiano Ronaldo scored the only goal to hand Juventus their first trophy of the season with a 1-0 win over ten-man AC Milan in the Italian Super Cup on Wednesday in Saudi Arabia.

Ronaldo - signed by the Italian giants last year from Real Madrid as they target a first Champions League title since 1996 - headed in a 61st-minute winner, AFP reported.

AC Milan played the last quarter of an hour a man down after Ivorian midfielder Franck Kessie saw red for a bad tackle on Emre Can.

Super Cup title, one more than AC Milan who have won seven.

AC Milan forward Gonzalo Higuain only played the final 20 minutes against his parent club, ahead of a touted move to Chelsea, having moved away from Turin to make way for Ronaldo last summer. Coach Gennaro Gattuso said the Argentine was suffering from a fever and missed the team photo because they were afraid he would infect other players.

Milan’s best shot on goal was a Patrick Cutrone effort after the break with their hopes dwindling after Kessie’s sending off.
