Priyanka formally joins politics

NEW DELHI, JAN 23 (AGENCIES/PTI): Ending years of fevered speculation, Gandhi family scion Priyanka Gandhi Vadra formally entered politics on Wednesday with her brother and Congress president Rahul Gandhi appointing her as general secretary for Uttar Pradesh East, which also comprises Lok Sabha seats of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and state chief minister Yogi Adityanath.

Signalling the Congress’ intent to go full throttle in the state ahead of the high-stakes general elections, Priyanka’s appointment immediately became a point of political debate with leaders of Congress and its allies welcoming it saying she will be a “great success” for the party while the BJP dubbed her entry into active politics “as an admission by the Congress that its president Rahul Gandhi has failed in providing leadership”.

Rahul Gandhi also appointed senior party leader Jyotiraditya Scindia as AICC general secretary for Uttar Pradesh West. Until now, Priyanka’s political forays had been largely limited to appearing at campaign rallies in constituencies held by her

NSF to boycott R-Day celebration D I M A P UR , J A N 2 3 (NPN): Naga Students’ Federation (NSF), a constituent unit of the North East Students’ Organization (NESO) has decided to boycott the Republic Day celebrations across the state on January 26, in protest against the citizenship amendment bill.

Like the NSF, All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) and Mizoram’s NGO coordination committee, an umbrella organisation of civil societies and students’ bodies, have also decided to boycott the Republic Day in their states.

In this regard, NSF president Kesosul Christopher Ltu and general secretary Imtiyapang Imsong has asked all its units and subordinate bodies to boycott the R-Day in their respective jurisdictions. NSF has also directed educational institutions and students not to participate in any of the government activities or events related to R-Day. NSF further demanded to know from the state government as to whether it was for or against the bill, rather that confusing the general public with “press statements” and “counter statements”. NSF said despite vigorous appeal and opposition, Centre passed the bill in the Lok Sabha.

This is it!

“Sure, we don’t care what the issue is. We’re ever ready to thok, thok.

And thok, thok we will.”

family members in the state, which has 80 Lok Sabha seats, highest in any state.

Party leaders said the responsibility for the state’s 80 seats have been roughly divided 40-40 between Scindia and Priyanka Gandhi.

L o n g k n ow n a s a natural in politics who inherited her grandmother Indira Gandhi’s charisma, Priyanka Gandhi was earlier actively involved in key decision making in the party along with her mother and

brother, including the selection of new chief ministers for Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh recently. She was also instrumental in initiating the entry of Manpreet Badal and Navjot Singh Sidhu in the Punjab Congress.

Priyanka will take over her new assignment from the first week of February, a statement from the party said. The 47-year-old will assist her brother, Rahul, in the Hindi heartland state,

NSSATA Tsg to boycott class DIMAPUR, JAN 23 (NPN): Nagaland SSA Teachers’ Association (NSSATA) Tuensang unit including DEO Tuensang, SDEO Tuensang, SDEO Longkhim, SDEO Shamator and SDEO Noklak Wednesday announced its decision to boycott classes with effect from January 28, 2019.

In a press note, NSSATA Tuensang unit president Aliba Sangtam and general secretary Betimonyu said the protest would continue until the pending salaries were paid with 7th ROP and arrears. The unit pointed out that following an agreement signed on June 12, 2018 in the presence of NSF and ENSF, wherein timely release of salaries was one of the agreements, but government has failed to address the same issue.

It also cited NDPP election manifesto, which states “Pending issues regarding Teachers Salary will be re-

solved within a time frame so as to ensure that teachers are contended to provide their best efforts towards the education of the students”.

The unit also pointed out that PDA cabinet meeting held on October 3, 2018, decided “in principle, to bring all the SSA teacher of 2010 & 2013 batches into the mainstream of the school Education cadre...” However, it said so far things have vanished into thin air.

In this regard, the unit has appealed to the NSF and ENSF to intervene and help bring an amicable solution.

Affirming its full cooperation to NSF and ENSF, the unit urged the two federations “to continue support towards the aggrieved teachers and bring out the fruitful solution.”

Further, the association has requested the VECs/ WECs/SMDCs to extend support and cooperation to the teachers.

which was party’s stronghold till the mid 1980s.

“I am very happy that my sister Priyanka will assist me in Uttar Pradesh in the Lok Sabha polls, she is very capable,” Rahul said, adding “we won’t play on the back foot, we will play on the front foot, be it Gujarat or Uttar Pradesh.”

“I feel this decision will help initiate new thought in UP and will bring a positive change in UP politics,” he told reporters in Amethi.

“UP is central to building a new hope filled & compassionate India. The new UP AICC team lead

by Priyanka and Jyotiraditya, will herald the dawn of a new kind of politics in the state. We will offer the youth in UP a dynamic new platform to transform the state,” Gandhi later said on Twitter.

In an apparent reference to her appointment, Modi said unlike “many cases” where family is the party, for the BJP the party is family.Interacting with BJP booth workers from Baramati, Gadchiroli, Hingoli, Nanded and Nandurbar in Maharashtra, Modi also said that in the BJP, decisions are not taken on the wishes of a

person or family.

Asserting that he had no animosity against the SP and the BSP, Rahul Gandhi said, “wherever we can work together to defeat the BJP we will...but our work is to create place for the Congress and for which we have taken a big step.”

Many in the Congress said her entry will infuse the much-needed fresh energy in the party workers of the state, where Congress influence has been waning over the years and where the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party have announced a tie-up.

From background to forefront of Congress politics: The young woman who first broke into the nation’s consciousness as she walked with crowds along her father Rajiv Gandhi’s cortege 28 years ago on Wednesday took her maiden step on the road to formal politics when she was appointed Congress general secretary.

The 47-year-old mother of two was seen as her grandmother Indira Gandhi’s true inheritor, resembling her not just in looks but also in her ability to reach out to people with her easy manner.

said all these years, players had been playing in muddy fields, due to which, he felt, coaches were unable to judge technical development.

He added that with the new ground, they would be able to put players to a real test to see if the players have the qualities to go into football as a profession.

He himself being the former assistant coach of Aizwal FC, Koso hoped the government and the football body will provide good platforms for the younger generations. “Together

I think we can shape for our younger footballers” he said.

The coach also acknowledged the present government for making the dream of a good football ground into reality and hoped that more turf grounds will be built in other districts as well.

But he also asserted that every district headquarter should have an astro-turf ground if the state is to promote football.

He however lamented that the state capital does not even have a football ground for practice, and suggested that the Kohima local ground should be opened in the mornings on certain timings for football players to come and practice in. “We don’t even get a ground for practice. How can we improve?” he questioned.

He also observed that the Nagas were mostly part time players. “If there is no tournament, there is no practice” he said. He advocated for permanent clubs, a state league, district leagues and also competitive tournaments in the state to promote the sport. Khwetelhi Thopi, former Aizawl FC player who debuted in I-League (2015-16) said “I feel great and proud that the much awaited astroturf football ground will be completed. Now we can host any tournament, state or national.”

He hoped that the new ground would provide a platform for young talent to develop and also be able to compete with other states in the higher levels.

CAB: Manipur CM convenes all party meeting on Jan 28

Correspondent

IMPHAL, Jan 23: Amid unabated protests, Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh has convened an all-party meeting to discuss the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016, on January 28.

Janata Dal (United), while alleging the proposed meeting has been convened to divert the people’s aggression, announced a boycott of the meeting.

JD (U) will not take part in the meeting, said JU (U) state president Hangkhanpao Taithul who alleged that convening such a meeting instead of summoning a special session of the State Assembly was meaningless.

He appealed to other political parties to not take part in the proposed meeting as it was nothing but a ploy to fool political parties and the people.

BJP wrests power in North Cachar Hills AC

H afl o n g, J a n 2 3 (Agencies): BJP has wrested power at the North Cachar Hills Autonomous Council, Northeast Now reported.

The saffron party has bagged 19 of the 28 seats of the council after the final counting results of which came out early Wednesday.

The Indian National Congress (INC) came at a dismal and distant second with just two seats which Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) got one seat.

Independent candidates secured six seats in the council. Some of the major setbacks include the former chief executive member Dobojit Thousen, former parliamentarian Prakanta Warisa, former legislator Samarjit Haflongbar, former CEM Depolal Hojai, executive member Kulendra Daoulagau and district Congress president Nirmal Langthasa who had lost the council polls this time.

He alleged that the state government has committed a big mistake by proroguing the State Assembly amid strong demand for a special session of the Assembly to oppose the CAB. Talking to media persons at the party office today, the president maintained that even though JD (U) is one of the partners of the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre, the party strongly opposes the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016.

The party will try its best to prevent the passing of the Bill in the Rajya Sabha and asked opposition parties, including the Congress and left parties, to press their leaders at the Centre to stand firm against the Bill.

“The only way to prevent enactment of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill as an Act is not to allow

introducing the Bill in the Rajya Sabha. If it is introduced in the Rajya Sabha, it should be defeated” he said.

Meanwhile, six student bodies spearheading the campaign against CAB, on Wednesday announced that a delegation of students will stage a protest at the national capital against the Bill.

The protest will be staged on Januar y 30, leaders of AMSU, MSF, DESAM, KSA, SUK and AIMS announced during a news conference at AMSU office.

Members of student bodies like Manipuri Students’ Association Delhi (MSAD), Delhi Association of Manipur Muslim Students (DAMMS), United Kakching Students (UNIKAS) have also decided to take part in the proposed protest, the leaders said.

JDU to vote against CAB in RS DIMAPUR, JAN 23 (NPN): Janata Dal (United) on Wedensday said it will vote against the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Bill when it is tabled in the Rajya Sabha.

According to JDU Northeast Executive Council chairman, Senchumo NSN Lotha, the decision was taken at the national office bearers meeting on January 20 chaired by national president, Nitish Kumar.

The meeting also reaffirmed the party’s commitment to stand against any communal force that threatens to destroy the secular fabric of the country and promised to leave no stone unturned to safeguard the Constitution of India.

Meanwhile, a high power delegation of the JD (U) will be visiting Guwahati on January 28 to take stock of the situation arising out of the Citizenship Amendment Bill 2016 by interacting with all stake holders.

Irani’s chopper fails Netaji’s 122nd birth anniv celebrated Madras High Cour dismisses Smriti to land in West Bengal petition against Jaya in DA case

J Jayalalithaa (File) acquittal came to be dismissed as abated.

“It is to be remembered at this juncture that the said person had already had the benefit of acquittal operating in her favour and in the light of the judgement of HC the stigma of conviction against her got erased, which has not been set aside by the apex court on merits for the reason that before the orders could be pronounced, she died.

“Therefore, it cannot be said that Jayalalithaa was a convicted person and as such, there is stigma of conviction attached to her,” the judges said.

Suggesting that the money could be spent on construction of hospitals, educational institutions, for developmental projects and provision of basic facilities

to citizens, the court said it was for the state government to take a call and it cannot issue any positive direction to do so.

It declined to accept the main contention of the petitioner that the order of acquittal passed by the Karnataka High Court had been reversed by the Supreme Court in criminal appeals, and Jayalalithaa who was the first respondent in the said appeals became a convict and as such, a memorial in honour of a convicted person cannot be built.

Referring to the money spent from public exchequer for construction of the memorial, the bench said, “The petitioner did not make a challenge to the sanction of funds and the clearances accorded for construction of the said memorial and even otherwise; this Court is of the considered view that the grounds urged by the petitioner lack merit for the above cited reasons.”

The apex court had in 2017 abated the charges against Jayalalithaa in the disproportionate wealth case while sentencing her close aide V K Sasikala and two others to imprisonment.

Smriti Irani (File) Ko l k at a , J a n 2 3 (IANS): Union Minister and BJP leader Smriti Irani, who was scheduled to address a public meeting at Suri in West Bengal’s Birbhum district on Wednesday, could not reach the venue after her chopper failed to land due to lack of daylight, a state BJP leader said, smelling a conspiracy by the state government.

Irani was scheduled to address two public rallies in Jhargram and Suri in place of BJP President Amit Shah after he had to cut short his trip to the state due to bad health. According to the party sources, Irani left for Suri in her chopper after addressing the rally in Jhargram, but the pilot refused to land fearing there would not be adequate daylight when they would reach the venue.

Chennai, Jan 23 (PTI): The Madras High Court Wednesday held that former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa cannot be termed a convict in a disproportionate assets case and dismissed a petition challenging the construction of a memorial to her on the ground that she was one.

A division bench of justices M Sathyanarayanan and P Rajamanickam made the observation and dismissed the petition by M L Ravi, president of Desiya Makkal Sakthi Katchi, seeking a direction to restrain the Tamil Nadu government from spending money from the public exchequer for construction of the memorial.

The petitioner also said that steps should be taken to recover money if it was spent by the government from her property citing that she was convicted in the disproportionate wealth case.

The bench observed that before the orders could be passed by the Supreme Court on the appeals filed against the Karnataka High Court order, Jayalalithaa breathed her last and therefore, the appeal against her

Irani’s arrival at Suri was delayed due to the conspiracy of Bengal government which asked the party leadership to arrange landing of Irani’s chopper at the Kalaikunda Air Force base in West Midnapore district, nearly 40 km from the venue of her first public meeting in Jhargram.

“It was a conspiracy by the Bengal government... They denied landing permission near the meeting venue and instead asked us to land the chopper at Kalaikunda, which means Irani ji had to get down at West Midnapore and had to travel all the way to Jhargram which is at the end point of Bengal’s Jangalmahal area,” alleged BJP national secretary Rahul Sinha.

“Due to this conspiracy, she ran short of time to reach the venue in Suri.

Irani and party’s national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya could not reach and address the people here.

But BJP workers are not upset. We have resolved to stand up against this conspiracy. Major national leaders of our party will come here,” he said.

Irani is scheduled to address two more BJP rallies in Bengal’s South 24 Parganas and Hoogly district on Thursday.

Ko l k at a , J a n 2 3 (IANS): Remembering freedom fighter Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on his 122nd birth anniversary, former West Bengal Governor and Mahatma Gandhi’s grandson Gopalkrishna Gandhi on Wednesday said today’s “political leadership wears a crown of money” and people need to change it.

“Today money is like a great cloud of polluted miasma which floats over the heads of political parties. Crowns made of money sit on heads, that is a great failure of political leadership,” Gandhi said at Netaji Bhawan -- Bose’s ancestral house that houses the Netaji Research Bureau (NRB).

NRB chairperson Krishna Bose, niece-in-law of Netaji, and historian Sugata Bose, Netaji’s grandnephew, marked the day with floral tributes and devotional songs.

“Presence of money and absence of trust are two major signs of today’s political leadership. But we cannot just hold our leaders responsible and absolve ourselves from the responsibility,” Gandhi said.

Gandhi mentioned that people like Bose and Mahatma Gandhi were gifts for the nation. They were both unafraid of two

Spectre of Ghar-Wapsi

I

t was perhaps not surprising that the coming to power of the BJP in Tripura by a landslide has encouraged communal organisations to target minority religious communities like Christians and that was proved when under ‘Ghar Wapsi’ by Hindu Jagaran Mancha and Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), 96 Christians were converted to Hinduism at Kailashahar in Unakoti district on Janaury 20. The Hindu Jagaran Mancha is an RSS-affiliated organisation. Ghar Wapsi is a battle cry of the VHP and RSS to convert non-Hindus and tribal and scheduled caste Christians to Hinduism. The Vishva Hindu Parishad and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh organized several Ghar Wapsi events in several states which were aimed primarily against tribal and scheduled caste Christians and in some instances, Muslims. More than 8,000 people in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh converted to Hinduism from July 2014 - December 2014 under the Ghar Wapsi programme. According to a VHP official, 1,200 people converted to Hinduism in a Ghar Wapsi event in Hyderabad. In April 2017, at least 53 tribal Christian families converted to Hinduism as part of the RSS’s “Christianity-free” block campaign in Arki, Jharkhand.

At least seven other Christian families underwent a Shuddhikaran (purification ceremony) in Kochasindhri village. In May 2017, RSS performed conversion of at least 22 Muslims, including women and children, into Hinduism in a secretive ceremony at an Aryasamaj Temple in Ambedkar Nagar district of Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh. The reconversion of 96 Christians in Tripura to Hinduism may be looked upon as the beginning of a campaign that will gather momentum through the backing of the communal organisations having awesome resources. Whenever some people from any other religion, especially Hinduism, convert to Christianity, there is hue and cry about coercion, allurement or fraud used. Christianity did not come with the British. Rather the British rulers were least interested about religion other than exploiting the resources of British India. Christianity spread through the influence of Welsh and American missionaries who established educational institutions and medical hospitals across rural India. However despite all these philanthropic acts, the growth of Christianity was marginal because conversion was out of conviction and not allurement nor threats. That is why today the Christian population in India is hardly 2.3 per cent and has never crossed 2.5 percent mark but has decreased. Therefore, to raise Cain against Christian minorities through the bogey of “fraudulent conversions” is frivolous. The Dalits and Harijans have embraced either Christianity of Islam because of ill treatment and atrocities by upper castes. This has rankled the extremist Hindu elements of the Sangh Parivar not because of any genuine concern but only for the fear of losing these oppressed classes to other religions. The law, instead of convicting those allegedly involved in conversion through fraud, force or deception; has only subjected Christians to all forms of harassment or torture outside and beyond the purview of the normal laws of the land. Sometimes, the interpretation of the law has also led to such that authorities have asked people who retain their caste nomenclature after conversion to“ re-convert” or else lose their jobs or their children lose any benefits entitled to them. It is not far fetched to say that this is an ominous portent of the future when Christianity would be outlawed under various pretexts. Perhaps the state BJP has much to answer for the party’s religious bigotry.

DailyDevotion Transformed by Beholding We all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image… —2 Corinthians 3:18

The greatest characteristic a Christian can exhibit is this completely unveiled openness before God, which allows that person’s life to become a mirror for others. When the Spirit fills us, we are transformed, and by beholding God we become mirrors. You can always tell when someone has been beholding the glory of the Lord, because your inner spirit senses that he mirrors the Lord’s own character. Beware of anything that would spot or tarnish that mirror in you. It is almost always something good that will stain it— something good, but not what is best.

The most important rule for us is to concentrate on keeping our lives open to God. Let everything else including work, clothes, and food be set aside. The busyness of things obscures our concentration on God. We must maintain a position of beholding Him, keeping our lives completely spiritual through and through. Let other things come and go as they will; let other people criticize us as they will; but never allow anything to obscure the life that “is hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3). Never let a hurried lifestyle disturb the relationship of abiding in Him. This is an easy thing to allow, but we must guard against it. The most difficult lesson of the Christian life is learning how to continue “beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord….”

Post-mortem

The CAB 2016 and its possible consequences

N

ot being a lawyer, my understanding of the Bill is limited and my opinion may contain legal errors.

Thanks to Advocate Takamasa, Ex-MLA who has timely enlightened us on the legal implications of Citizenship(Amendment Bill) of 2016(CAB) vis-a-vis Art 371(A and BEFR 1983 which are now under public scrutiny.

Even otherwise by common sense, one understands that a weak State like Nagaland can become a victim of the Bill. The amendment to Citizenship Act of 1955 by means of Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016 is to bring the Hindus, the Jains, the Sikhs, the Buddhists and the Christians from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh and grant them citizenship of India.

The BJP reportedly managed to bulldoze the Parliamentary Committee on the Bill’s approval, the Union Cabinet approved it and now the Lok Sabha has approved the same on 8th January, 2019.

The 11 years duration provided in the Act of 1955 was reduced to just 6 years of stay by any of those seeking for enrolment as Indian citizen. Secondly and the namesake law is even when one fails to prove his/her antecedent with valid document will be admissible. The controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Bill of 2016 is still remaining as a Bill and yet to become an Act for want of it being passed by Raja Sabha. The moment the Bill is approved by Raja Sabha and receives the assent of the President of India, it becomes an Act under the Constitution of India. At the very moment, for instance, Manipur in particular is demanding that it should be exempted from the enforcement of the law. In other words, those of the foreigners granted Indian citizenship under the new law should not be allowed to become citizens of the State of Manipur.

However, I doubt whether any State under the Union of India can be exempted from such law when enacted. Creating precedence can become the Pandora’s box.

The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill of 2016 excludes Muslims. And though those of the other communities as Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists and Christians are included, the Bill intends to grant citizenship to maximum Hindus seeking for registration.

In the name of compassion on fellow Hindus facing religious persecution in the Muslim countries as Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh the BJP, as per its agenda, intends to transform India into theocratic country by bringing Hindus in millions.

How far Nagaland State is insulated by Art 371(A) and BEFR 1873 (ILP) under the threat of Citizenship (Amendment) Bill of 2016 was well covered by Advocate Takama’s article. Whereas, the PDA Govt. by its Cabinet decision on 5th June, 2018 declared that is not against the Bill but it will object when any provision in the Act is found detrimental to the interest of the State of Nagaland. This decision of PDA Govt. was aimed at pleasing both the BJP Govt. in Delhi and the Nagas of Nagaland. This decision was born out of sheer timidity, sycophancy and of hidden agenda. The PDA has no gut to displease its mentor BJP by deciding to oppose the Bill as was done by counterparts as Mizoram, Meghalaya and Manipur. The PDA thus used ambiguity as its cornerstone.

Such posture sans locus standi.

The logic of the decision is funny too. Once the Bill in question is enacted, it will remain for durable period of time, no matter how much is the dislike of Nagaland State may be. After the Bill is enacted, what power the State of Nagaland will have to force the Union Govt. to rectify any of its provisions or refuse to accept it in solitude.

Whereas, as any Govt. is, PDA is legally guided by Advocate General on all constitutional and legal matters.

One therefore needs not doubt that as though PDA is confused, ignorant or failed to discern the demerits contained in the CAB 2016. The PDA knows that the Art 371(A) has got nothing to do to resist the influx of illegal immigrants into Nagaland, and that the BEFR 1873 (ILP) is not the legal weapon to determine who is entitled to be registered as Indian citizen and who deserves not. Yet, in the name of ambiguity and foolishness, PDA is lobbying hard for the smooth passage of the Bill. The NDPP is working relentlessly harder for the Bill more than the BJP Govt. in Manipur or BJP alliance Govt. in Meghalaya. The philosophy of PDA in using Na-

galand to please others, the nonindigenous citizens in Nagaland, dates back to the formation of NPF in 2003 taking the Congress booklet of the Bedrock of Naga Society as its launching pad, and the agenda remains. The decision of PDA is ruthless, myopic and too selfish. In other words, is PDA contemplating to make Nagaland the sacrificial lamb for its own gain? Those leaders are to be held solely responsible for the possible consequences of the Bill.

Here lies the dangers. The moment the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill of 2016 is passed by both Houses of Parliament, lakhs of non-Indian Hindus in particular will be registered as Indian citizens in hurry. According to anti-Bill activist in Assam, not less than 20 lakh Bangladeshi Hindus are waiting for registration. Beside, we had learnt already what size of the population was left out in the enforcement of NRC in Assam.

More than 40 lakh people in Assam were left unregistered, and this bulk will be the additional burden. And possibly, the Hindus from those three countries will steadily migrate to India in due course of time availing the given privilege. I believe that is the intention of BJP. Whereas, when Assam is filled with unwanted huge chunk of population, ultimately the local situation over there will flush several lakhs of people out.

Whereas, PDA is sarcastically talking about our protective laws as Art 371(A) and BEFR 1873 by which Nagaland will remain safe from the adverse impact of the Bill. Whereas, natural calamities as floods, landslides, cyclones or wildfires have no respect for manmade laws. Similarly, the influx of those people registered under CAB 2016 who are flushed out from other States or they themselves decide to come to Nagaland will have no regard for our existing laws.

Secondly, introspect on the efficiency, commitment and determination of the administration of the Govt. of Nagaland relating to implementation of our protective laws. No matter how good and plenty may be our laws, the law enforcers have the tendencies and become so obsessed to abuse those for personal gains. We know how Indigenous Certificates and ILP

are misused as lucrative business by administrators. We know as and when the Bill is enacted, and when the influx of immigrants into Nagaland becomes imminent, those of the myopic and selfish people of all hue will form syndicate as usual to make it a big industry at the cost of the indigenous people of the State.

Thirdly, to allow the influx of outsiders to live in Nagaland is as simple as inhaling oxygen by any healthy person. Look at the magnitude of lakhs of doubtful people already living in Nagaland particularly in urban areas. Look at how porous are our borders with neighbour States. In any given situation, I find it difficult to trust the administration to honestly and efficiently handle the influx problem. And so, to let others, the undeserved people, to come in is easy. Yet, the bigger concern is, after realization of the adverse impact of these people on our indigenous rights, when we wake up late to deport them will become the contentious issue. To take decisive measure for deportation will have immense repercussion particularly in Assam. Assam being the gateway for Nagaland, we cannot afford to have strained relationship with this neighbour. Whereas, those migrants will have their base in Assam in particular, and any spark of legal or illegal action against people from Assam who have illegally landed in our State will have boomerang from Assam against the people of Nagaland as experienced in the past.

Although Nagaland has just one Raja Sabha MP due to which our State can hardly play vital role in floor games when the Bill is tabled in Parliament.

Yet, when the issue in debate is so crucial relating to our survival in the long run, our cohesion with other States in NE is very imperative. With, the arrogance, the selfishness and the myopia of PDA, the NE strength against the Bill is weakened. Nagaland will therefore be responsible for the Bill when enacted and for its consequences in NE. If PDA Govt. stands for Nagaland, do not mortgage it for your comfort zone. Tie up with those NE States which are opposing the Bill for the reason that those States are wiser.

Extension of BEFR 1873 to plain areas of Nagaland and need for Foreigners Tribunals (From previous issue) It is important to state that the BEFR 1873, the issuance of Inner Line Pass is for the citizens of India and not for foreigners.

The entry of foreigners to India as well as Nagaland is governed

by The Foreigners Act, 1946.

The Bangladesh illegal migrants are not citizens of India but foreigners who had illegally entered India. As such, issuance of ILP to Bangladesh illegal migrants, it is totally illegal and misplaced.

The issuance of ILP by concern authorities in Nagaland, blindly, without verifying whether he or she is an Indian citizen or Bangladesh illegal migrants , it is a matter of serious concern to check influx of illegal migrants to Nagaland. All the illegal migrants claim themselves to be permanent citizens of Assam and apply for ILP. An Inner Line Pass, residency certificates issued by the GBs, colony/ward authorities, village councils, ultimately it becomes the official documents for those illegal Bangladesh migrants to claim legitimacy of their residence in India. It is necessary for all concern authorities to check proper antecedents of the applicants before ILP, residency certificates are issued.

The Foreigners Act, 1946 confers wide ranging power to deal with all foreigners or with respect to any particular foreigner or any prescribed class or description of foreigner for prohibiting, regulating or restricting their or his entry into India or their presence or continued presence including their arrest, detention and confinement.

Section 9 of the Foreigners Act, 1946 it clearly stipulates that the burden of proving that he is not a foreigner or not, is upon such

a person who is alleged to be a foreigner and not the authority concern. The fundamental right of a foreigner is confined to Article 21 of the Constitution of India for life and liberty and does not include the right to reside and stay in India, as mentioned in Article 19(1)(e), which is applicable only to citizens of India.

The persons who reside in the territories of countries of which they are not nationals, posses a special status under international law. However, states reserve the right to expel them from their territory and refuse to grant them certain rights which are enjoyed by their own nationals. Thus, the Bangladesh nationals who have illegally crossed the border and have trespassed into Nagaland have no legal right of any kind to remain in our land and they are liable to be deported. The power of the Government to expel foreigners is absolute and unlimited and there is no provision in the Constitution fettering its discretion and the executive government has unrestricted right to expel a foreigner. So far as right to be heard is concerned, there cannot be any hard-and–fast rule about the manner in which a person concern has to be given an opportunity to place his or her case. In a criminal trial where a person is prosecuted and punished for commission of a crime and may thus be deprived of his life or liberty, it is not enough that he is prosecuted in accordance with the procedure prescribed by law but the procedure should be such which is just, fair and reasonable. This principle can have no application in matter of identification of a foreigner and his deportation, since he is not being deprived of his life and liberty.

The deportation proceedings are not proceedings for prosecution where a man may be convicted or sentenced.

In exercise of powers conferred by Section 3 of the Foreigners Act, 1946, the Government of India had issued The Foreigners (Tribunals) Order, 1964, G.S.R.1401, dated 23-091964. The Central Government may, by order, refer the question as to whether a person is or is not a foreigner within the meaning of the Foreigners Act, 1946 (31 of 1946) to a tribunal to be constituted for the purpose, for its opinion. The tribunal after hearing shall submit its opinion to the Officer or authority specified in this behalf in the order of reference.

The consequential actions follow thereafter.

In view of the direction of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, the Central Government in exercise of power under The Foreigners (Tribunals) Order, 1964, had constituted Tribunals in all the districts of Assam for identification of foreigners. In view of the serious problems faced due to influx of illegal migrants to Nagaland, the State Government besides altering the inner line and its effective implementation, it should approach the Government of India to establish sufficient Foreigners Tribunals in Nagaland.

It is important to note that alteration of the inner line should not be at the cost of the indigenous inhabitants living in the plains and the enforcement agencies should be able to distinguish who is an Indian citizen and who is an illegal Bangladeshi migrant.

The danger of playing into the enemy’s hands through piecemeal solutions

T

here can be no greater treachery in the history of a nation then the treachery of a few of its citizens betraying a nation’s identity through piecemeal solutions with the enemy. But some present Naga leaders seems to be playing such a game by having secret talks with the government of India behind the backs of the general Naga public.

This is the exact case, because though more than twenty years have passed since the third peace talks began, the Naga public still do not know about even a sentence of what agreements these Naga leaders have made with the GOI. Looking back at our history, when the whole nation rallied behind the NNC and its Plebiscite of 1951, we proved ourselves a formidable foe against all that mighty India and Burma could throw against us. The tragedy began, when some of our own leaders walked away from that formidable NNC rock and formed their own Revolutionary Government. This tragic event happened even as the then 1964 Indo-Naga ceasefire was still ongoing. Further tragedy was ushered in when some other leaders yet again, launched another` revolutionary government in 1980. This was done despite the fact that Zashei Huire, the then President of the FGN had rejected the 1st and 3rd clauses of the Shillong Accord of 1975. Today, besides the originally mandated NNC and FGN, there are seven other splinter groups. Now, if these splintered groups- however well armed and well organized they may be- will have piecemeal solutions with the Indian government, they could very well betray the original stand of the NNC and FGN which is complete sovereignty and independence of the nation.

As for the original NNC and FGN, despite all the storms of betrayal and fratricidal killings that have overtaken the nation, the NNC and FGN still continues to uphold the sovereignty and independence of the nation which was declared on 14th August 1947. As for this original NNC, there exist no such other bodies called “NNC Parent Body” or “NNC Son Body”!! The one and only NNC was established on 2nd Feb. 1946 to become the political institution of the Naga people. This political institution belongs to all the citizens of Nagaland and can never be hijacked or impersonated by any other political groups or parties whatsoever.

Reader’s Post

Sir,

Sunday Closure a welcome step!

Lately there have been many different opinions and views as usual on the closure of shops on Sunday. First of all, it is a welcoming gesture in making it a sign of ‘a holy day’. No matter what sort and types of criticisms may come from different corners, if people of different communities can close down their shops on any week days to offer prayers or go to their worship places, why are our own Naga people so much always against this halting of business activity for one day of the week? We have full six days where we can work, sweat, shop, have fun, etc. So just revering what is holy for us Christians should not be such a big deal. Let us give credit where it is due.

With full business activities in every nook and corner of the town, construction works on full swing, people have forgotten what should be sacred and revered and what is not. We as a Christian majority state have been swayed by all these going-ons and getting lost with the worldly ways.

Some people rue that our Naga economy is all flowing into Assam by this Sunday closure. Sunday closure or not, all our economy is being drained away outside by non- Nagas because we have failed to adhere to the value of work culture and lack of business acumen. So just because of this Sunday closure, let’s not try to make a mountain out of a mole-hill. As Christians, let us learn to keep some things holy and sacred, on a day like Sunday.

CBI books former Air India CMD on corruption charges

New Delhi, Jan 23 (PTI): The CBI has booked former Air India chairman-cum-managing director Arvind Jadhav for allegedly violating procedures while making various promotions and appointments, officials said Wednesday.

Along with Jadhav, the CBI has also named then executive director (personnel) L P Nakhwa (now retired) and former additional general mangers (operations) Arvind Kathpalia, Amitabh Singh and Rohit Bhasin in its FIR registered under the Indian Penal Code section related to criminal conspiracy and provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act. The Central Bureau of Investigation alleged that Jadhav had constituted a panel in 2010 to promote officers to the rank of general manager (operations) in violation of laid down procedure.

The three-member panel included then chief operating officer Gustav Baldauf, then executive director (operations) A S

Arvind Jadhav (File)

Soman and former executive director (Personnel) L P Nakhwa, it said.

Nakhwa, who was general manager (medical service), was given the rank of executive director (medical services) after the post was upgraded as a temporary measure till August 31, 2009.

It is alleged that Nakhwa was to be reverted to the post of general manager (medical services) from September 1, 2009, but she continued in her position as executive director in clear violation of the Civil Aviation Ministry’s directive dated March 6, 2009. The CBI inquiry also found that Jadhav regularised Nakhwa in the post of executive director (medical services) with

effect from April 1, 2010 without following the due procedure, the FIR said.

The Civil Aviation Ministry had annulled and reversed the irregular appointment of Nakhwa as executive director (medical services), the CBI alleged.

A human resources sub-committee of the Board of Air India in an order dated September 8, 2010 reverted Nakhwa to the post of general manager (medical services) with immediate effect.

This was necessary as according to the promotion policy of Air India, members of promotion panel should be preferably two levels above the post for which the selection is to be made, which was not the case with Nakhwa who was of the same for which selection was to be made by the panel.

T h e i nve s t i g a t i n g agency said although Nakhwa was not eligible for being a member of the said promotion panel, Jadhav nominated her against the prevailing rules and procedure.

Priyanka political debut; Maha Cong celebrates Mumbai, Jan 24 (IANS): The Maharashtra Congress on Wednesday celebrated Priyanka Gandhi-Vadra’s political debut with many activists appealing to her to contest from Mumbai.

Party workers were seen dancing, cheering, distributing sweets at various places in Mumbai and other districts, while top leaders welcomed her appointment as an AICC General Secretary. State Congress chief Ashok Chavan congratulated her and described her as “an able administrator” who has been nurturing the Rae Barelly and Amethi constituencies effectively for many years.

“She knows the pulse of the people and understands peoples’ issues and concerns very well. Now, she will have a wider canvas in Uttar Pradesh and under her able leadership, the Congress will definitely register an outstanding victory in that state,” Chavan said.

Mumbai Congress President Sanjay Nirupam terms it as “a great decision

by Congress President Rahul Gandhi and will strengthen the party” in a big way in UP and elsewhere.

NPRAAF objects to IAS recommendation tion department on deputation, was summoned by vigilance & anti-corruption police Nagaland October 5, 2018 on allegation of corruption charges in the Mid-Day Meal (MDM) scheme along with 14 others on different dates.

Stating that siphoning of Mid-Day Meal fund for poor school going children was serious in nature, the NPRAAF said the officer in question, if indicted, could face imprisonment of six months, which could

extend to 5 years with a fine or both as defined in Sec 8, 9 under prevention of corruption Act 1988.

“The scam is still under investigation stage, and the said person in question is not exonerated in the case, however his name has been recommended by the state government for induction in IAS,” it claimed.

The forum has therefore asked the government

not to reward any officers, whose credibility and integrity was in question, as that would demoralise government servants who serve the state with dedication and immaculate track record.

NPRAAF has affirmed to take the issue further at the greater interest of justice, if the state government was adamant to go ahead with the “immoral recommendation.”

9 IS suspects nabbed in Maha ahead of R-Day

Mumbai, Jan 23 (IANS): In a swoop ahead of Republic Day, the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has arrested nine youths, including a 17-year-old boy, who were detained earlier, for alleged links with the Islamic State terror group and plans to create criminal disturbances in the state, an official said here on Wednesday.

The ATS said during investigations in the past few days, it has recovered certain poisonous chemicals and powder, mobile phones, hard disks, mobile SIM cards, an acid bottle and knives from them.

Toll in Odisha minitruck accident rises to 10

Phulbani, Jan 23 (PTI): The death toll in Tuesday’s mini-truck accident in Odisha’s Kandhamal district has increased to 10, with two more persons succumbing to injuries, a police officer said.

The truck had slipped into a gorge at Poiguda ghat near Baliguda in the district, killing six people on spot and injuring over 35 more.

“Four people died during treatment at MKCG Medical College Hospital.

Of the 10 deceased, four are women. As of now, 21 more are battling for their lives at the Berhampur hospital,” he said.

Action will be taken on the basis of the probe report, Sahu said.

tions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and the Bombay Police Act with further probe underway.

The ATS said the operations were started by five police teams discreetly for several weeks and from January 13 they started picking up the suspects from Thane’s Mumbra town and in Aurangabad, both with a dominant minority population.

While four were picked up from Mumbra, the remaining five were caught from Aurangabad and have been brought to Thane for questioning.

They include: Salman Khan, Zaamen Kutepa-

di, Taki Khan, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Mohammed Mazhar Shaikh, Mohsin Khan, Fahad Shah, and the teenager Zahid Shaikh, all aged between 17-28.

As it became apparent that the group may be planning a strike, the ATS formed a dozen teams and raided several locations in the two districts till Tuesday.

Already on the ATS radar for several months, after a tip-off on the suspects passed by the Centre, the sources said the four Mumbra men were reportedly en route to Aurangabad to participate in a seminar organised by an organisation, Popular

Front of India (PFI).

On questioning them, the ATS got details of five others based in Aurangabad who were also picked up and detained.

The ATS officials claimed to have recovered certain objectionable material on the social media accounts of one of the detainees and now the investigators are scanning the phones, laptops, emails, social network sites and other details of all those detained.

Suspected for being part of IS sleeper cells in the state, the ATS has also carried out raids at over a dozen premises for the past three days.

Former HP CM, wife move HC in DA case

New Delhi Jan 23 (PTI): Former Himachal P r a d e sh C hie f M inis ter Virbhadra Singh and his wife Pratibha Singh Wednesday moved the Delhi High Court challenging a trial court order to frame charges against them for allegedly amassing disproportionate assets (DA) of over Rs 10 crore.

The 82-year-old Congress leader and his wife have sought quashing of the December 10, 2018 trial court order directing framing of charges against Singh, his wife and seven others in the case lodged

by CBI. The petition is likely to be heard Thursday.

The trial court is yet to formally frame the charges against the couple and the matter is listed for January 29.

The court had in its December order said that Singh intended to cause loss to tax authorities by presenting unaccounted money as sale proceeds of apples and

had also ordered framing of charges against his wife and seven others for allegedly abetting in the offences.

The other seven accused are LIC agent Anand Chauhan, Chunni Lal Chauhan, Joginder Singh Ghalta, Prem Raj, Vakamulla Chandrasekhar, Lawan Kumar Roach and Ram Prakash Bhatia.

The court in its 105 page order had said that Virbhadra Singh and Anand Chauhan “fraudulently and dishonestly” signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) by ante-dating it to give an impression that it was signed on June 15, 2008 by them.

It had added that since the document was made for showing unaccounted money as sale proceeds of apples, they were liable to be charged for the offence of forgery.

The CBI had registered the case against Singh and others for allegedly amassing assets worth around Rs 10 crore disproportionate to their known source of income when he was the Union Minister in the UPA government.

A charge sheet running into over 500 pages, filed in the court, claims that Singh had amassed assets worth around Rs 10 crore which were disproportionate by 192 per cent of his total income during his tenure as a Union Minister.

The final report, filed against nine people for alleged offences punishable under section 109 (abetment) and 465 (punishment for forgery) of IPC and Prevention of Corruption Act, arrayed around 225 witnesses and 442 documents.

However, the car does have a 35 mm longer wheelbase now at 2,435 mm. This means there is more space inside the cabin.

In fact, the new platform increases safety of occupants through effective absorption of impact and dispersion of crash energy and assures stability. Use of 40% high tensile steel provides better strength, safety, rigidity and NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) performance.

Tax officials said apart from default by a company, the violation impacted employees and other entities who were unable to file returns due to someone else’s fault. “The department’s action is not against any honest taxpayer but only relates to large violators. When action is taken against large taxpayers, they along with consultants raise a bogey of tax terrorism,” said a senior source. HCC is pro-actively engaged with tax authorities to resolve any outstanding issues concerning the same, including receipt of any notices,” the company said in response to a questionnaire from TOI. Three Essar Group companies also faced action, which have now sought compounding of cases along with Lodha Developers.

“Essar Group companies are by and large up to date in payment of all statutory dues. Some group companies may have had to delay some payments due to factors and business cycles beyond their control.

The delays, if any, towards TDS are being addressed in discussions with the tax department and the respective companies are entering into compounding arrangements with the relevant tax departments, for an early and satisfactory closure,” an Essar spokesperson said.

NEW DELHI, Jan 23 (Agencies): The government has cracked the whip on several large companies, which had either failed to deposit tax deducted at source (TDS) with the income tax (I-T) department or delayed the payment, with claims against top 10 such entities adding up to nearly Rs 350 crore. I-T authorities have gone ahead and launched prosecution action, while some of the companies have come forward to settle the cases. Under the law, individuals as well as companies have to deduct tax for several payments — ranging from salaries to rent and payments to contractors above a specified threshold.

The payments also have to be made during a stipulated period, failing which a company is liable to be prosecuted as the government sees this as a major violation. While a large number of cases relate to 2016-17, 2017-18 as well as the current financial year, action has been taken in cases where default dates back to 2012-13 as well, sources told TOI. On top of the pile is Crest Logistics and Engineers, with delayed payments and defaults adding up to Rs 110 crore.

Mumbai, Jan 23 (IANS): In a new development, the State Bank of India (SBI) on Wednesday moved to recover loan outstandings of Rs 405 crore from absconding diamantaire Mehul Choksi, his family and companies.

This is the first time the country’s biggest bank’s exposure has been revealed in the case involving Choksi, who is among the prime accused in the Rs 13,500 crore fraud in the Punjab National Bank (PNB).

Significantly, the developments came two days after it became clear that Choksi had surrendered his Indian citizenship in favour of the nationality of Antigua & Barbuda Isle in the West Indies.

Choksi, his nephew Nirav Modi, several of their family members, employees and retired or serving top PNB executives and officials are accused in the PNB scam.

In a prominent media notice on Wednesday, the SBI has demanded repayment of the loan amount sanctioned against various assets in Mumbai, Raigad, Nashik and Hyderabad belonging to Choksi, his family and group companies.

Delaying Brexit won’t solve anything: May tells MPs Lo n d o n, Ja n 2 3 (Agencies): Theresa May has told MPs attempting to delay Brexit that it would not “solve the situation”.

“The decision remains the same - the deal, nodeal or no Brexit,” she said at Prime Minister’s Questions.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn accused her of having a “closed mind” to other Brexit options, such as Labour’s plan for a customs union with the EU. But the PM attacked him for refusing to meet her and said he did not “have a clue” what his own policy meant.

MPs are proposing alternative plans to the PM’s deal with the EU, including seeking an extension to the UK’s exit date - which is currently scheduled to happen at 23:00 GMT on 29 March.

But the prime minister has said the “right way” to rule out no-deal Brexit is to approve her withdrawal agreement. Under current law, the UK will exit the EU on 29 March, whether or not

Theresa May

a deal has been struck. The decision to leave was taken by 52% to 48% in a referendum in June 2016.

Jeremy Corbyn used Prime Minister’s Questions to repeat his call for Mrs May to rule out a no-deal Brexit.

Mrs May attacked the Labour leader for refusing to take part in cross-party talks with her on the way forward.

“The Right Honourable Gentleman has been willing to sit down with Hamas, Hezbollah and the IRA without preconditions, yet he won’t meet me to talk about Brexit,” she told MPs. Mr Corbyn said: “The door to her office may be open

but the minds inside are completely closed.”

He said there could be a majority in the Commons for staying in a customs union, and it was also backed by business and the trade unions and some Tory MPs, so why not get behind it?

Mrs May said a customs union meant that business can export without facing red tape, and her proposed deal would deliver that, while allowing the UK to have its own trade policy.

And she suggested the Labour leader did not know what his policy meant and what the “implications” of it would be for UK trade.

Trump should resign: US former Secretary of State Davos, Jan 23 (IANS): US former Secretary of State John Kerry has said if he can speak to President Donald Trump directly, he would tell him to “resign”.

Trump was supposed to attend the World Economic Forum here to deliver an address, but he pulled out because of the partial government shutdown that has become the longest in US history.

Asked during a World Economic Forum panel on Tuesday, what he would say to Trump if he were seated across from him, Kerry gave one-word answer: “Resign”.

“He doesn’t take any of this seriously,” the 2004 Democratic nominee for President said on the panel, adding that he doesn’t think Trump had the “ability” to have deep conversations, the Washington Post reported.

The White House did not respond to Kerry’s comment, but Trump had earlier slammed the media for not understanding him and his approach to Davos.

“Last time I went to Davos, the fake news said I should not go there. This year, because of the shutdown, I decided not to go, and the fake news said I

John Kerry (File)

should be there. The fact is that the people understand the media better than the media understands them!”

Trump tweeted before Kerry’s call to resign.

Kerry, who was Secretary of State during President Barack Obama’s second term, also criticized Trump for “his insane decision” to pull out of the Paris climate accord in June 2017, for which “people will die”.

“I wish there was a lawsuit capacity that could hold people liable for such an insane decision as he has made, which is going to cost lives,” he said.

“People will die because of the President’s decision, and billions of dollars of damage will be done to property.”

Holy site where ‘God met Moses’ to be bulldozed for ‘Saudi mega-city’ London, Jan 23(AGENCIES): Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman plans to build a metropolis 17 times the size of London at the Jabal al Lawz peak. But many believe the spot is the Bible’s Mount Sinai where God appeared before Moses. The planned 10,230-square-miles Saudi city, named Neom, would run on 100 percent renewable energy and is due to be ready by 2025.

But critics have blasted the plan, claiming it could wreck one of the world’s most holy sites.

In a recent documentary, Finding the Mountain of Moses: The Real Mount Sinai in Saudi Arabia, experts found the spot near the Jordanian border was the most likely place where Moses led his followers.

Presenter Ryan Mauro said: “The Saudis are constructing a super city that is planned to be 33 times the size of New York.

“If all of us don’t take action, Saudi construction in the area may destroy key evidence and prevent excavation for the foreseeable future.”

He claimed his evidence proves that the black-

This is the peak that some researchers believe is the Bible’s Mt Sinai.

ened peak is where God descended on the mountain “as of fire”.

But geologists believe the rock’s dark colour is because it is metamorphic.

Moses is said to have led the Israelites to the mountain, which was covered in fire, smoke and thunder, the Book of Exodus claims. The holy prophet then ascended Mount Sinai where he received the Ten Commandments from God. B u t B i n S a l m a n’s Neom project for a mega city would destroy crucial historical and archaeological evidence, it is feared.

And plans for the ‘megatropolis’, announced by the Crown Prince in

2017, have stalled after the Saudi kingdom was accused of murdering Jamal Khashoggi.

Mauro claims that a plinth close to the mountain is where a golden calf was worshipped.

The stone construction has bulls carved into its base.

A mass grave contains the body of worshippers struck down by God, Mauro believes.

Locals refer to the mountain as Jebel Musa the Mountain of Moses.

His Doubting Thomas Research Foundation now wants to investigate the site.

The real location of Mount Sinai is not known, but many historians believe it is probably in Egypt.

termed his condition as “very serious” and said he should be shifted to hospital without any delay.

“Nawaz Sharif ’s treatment at jail is not possible because of his heart complications. He should be shifted to hospital forthwith so that he is properly taken care of,” Khan said. “Even a special medical board that earlier examined Mr Sharif had suggested shifting him to hospital for treatment but the government did not heed to the suggestion,” he said.

Sharif ’s stress thalium test -- a nuclear imaging test that shows how well blood flows into one’s heart -- suggests “post stress LV pump/contraction 56 per cent which is almost normal”, according to his medical reports. The report says that the left ventricle, the main pumping chamber of the heart, is damaged on the lower left wall, it said.

Sharif, 69, who is serving a seven-year imprisonment in a Lahore jail, was rushed to a hospital from Kot Lakhpat jail on Tuesday after he complained of heart related complications.

He was later discharged from hospital and taken back to jail following medical tests. Doctors of the Punjab Institute of Cardiology Lahore, where his medical tests were conducted, said.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the top U.S. Democrat, had recommended he delay it because of the shutdown.

The request seemed likely to set up another clash between Trump and Pelosi, days after Trump abruptly refused to let her use a U.S. military plane to go on an overseas trip hours before she was to depart.

Aides to Pelosi did not respond to requests for comment on whether Trump’s invitation to speak would stand.

Trump may have lost the Dreamer issue as his main negotiating point on Tuesday when the U.S. Supreme Court was silent, at least for now, on considering an administration appeal of lower-court rulings allowing continued temporary protections for the immigrant youths.

New York, Jan 23 (Agencies): The U.S. Senate shifted slightly closer on Tuesday to resolving a month-long partial government shutdown, but there was no sign of relief anytime soon for 800,000 federal workers who are furloughed or working without pay.

According to Reuters, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell laid the groundwork for a vote on Thursday on a Democratic proposal to fund the government for three weeks, without attaching the $5.7 billion in U.S.-Mexico border wall funding demanded by President Donald Trump.

The president has opposed similar legislation in the House of Representatives. McConnell had said previously he would not consider a funding bill that Trump would refuse to sign.

The Senate leader said he would also bring up for a Thursday vote a proposal

by Trump to end the shutdown that includes border wall funding and relief for “Dreamers,” people brought illegally to the United States as children.

The plan was unlikely to pass in the Senate and had even less chance in the Democratic-led House of Representatives.

Democrats have said they would not trade a temporary restoration of the immigrants’ protections from deportation in

TTC annual sports meet kicks off Indonesia Masters: Saina in 2nd round

Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, JAN 23 (NPN): Annual sports week of Trinity Theological College got underway at its premises in Thahekhu in a vibrant opening ceremony marked by gaiety and creativity on Wednesday. The four-day affair will culminate on Saturday evening.

In his address as special guest, director of Life Sports, Nagaland, Colo Mero stressed on “sports

and music as powerful tools to reach out to youngsters and the community at large, especially those who are not particularly church-friendly.” He also called upon the Church and Christian ministries to evolve beyond the tried and tested conventional style of ministry, adding that the inability to infuse fresh and appealing methods inclusive of sports, music, business and sports, has made youngsters lose interest in the church.

Hauling up the church for deviating from its purpose of reaching out to the lost and instead concentrating on self aggrandizement by way of business and other projects, Colo Mero, said, “Churches have become buildings giving more interest in planting trees, farms, rearing animals, but have no time for young people and families .” Mero further called upon the 200-odd students present not to be mere degree holders but young

people filled with passion and dedication and known for their integrity. He also urged them to contemplate on sports and music as a medium through which they can reach out to the community and spread the gospel.

The other highlights of the opening ceremony were: a group dance performance by students, invocation by Vinika Ayemi; welcome address by TTCSU general secretary, Tovi V Chishi; songs by Panger Yabang and band; a flag presentation and description by coordinators of the four houses; inauguration of the sports week by the special guest; oath taking administered by TTCSU assistant games and sports secretary, Vivikali Shohe; vote of thanks by TTCSU games and sports secretary, Viboto V Sumi; and benediction by Alice Yepthomi. The programme was chaired by TTCSU assistant games and sports secretary, Vioto Katty.

India thrash New Zealand by 8 wkts in 1st ODI

India’s Mohammed Shami, left, bowls out Martin Guptil during a one day international cricket match between New Zealand and India in Napier, New Zealand on Wednesday. (AP/PTI)

Napier, Jan 23 (IANS): A brilliant all-round effort helped India thrash New Zealand by eight wickets via the Duckworth-Lewis (D/L) method in the first

ODI match at the McLean Park here on Wednesday.

Asked to field first, the Indian bowlers were right on the money as they restricted the hosts to a pal-

try score and then Indian batters displayed a clinical performance to hand India a 1-0 lead in the five match series.

Chasing 157, Indian openers Rohit Sharma (11) and Shikhar Dhawan (75 not out) started on a positive note, forging a crucial 41-runs partnership before Rohit was dismissed by Doug Bracewell in the 10th over. He was caught

by Martin Guptil in the slips.

Just after the fall of Rohit’s wicket, sun stopped the play for around 30 minutes. The sun rays were directly getting into the players eyes which prompted the umpires to suspend the proceedings.

The break saw the match officials reduce the match by one over and the new target for India was revised to 156 from 49 overs.

After the restart, skipper Virat Kohli (45) joined Dhawan in the middle and the duo hammered the New Zealand bowlers

all round the park. In the process, Dhawan reached the landmark of 5000 ODI runs and became the second fastest Indian to reach the milestone.

It seemed like the Delhi duo will remain unbeaten and complete the match with ease but in the 29th over, Kohli was sent packing by Lockie Ferguson when scoreboard was reading 132. He was caught behind by Tom Latham.

New batsman Ambati Rayudu (13 not out) and Dhawan then joined hands and completed the proceeding with 85 balls remaining.

For New Zealand, Ferguson and Bracewell took one wicket each.

Earlier, India rode on chinaman Kuldeep Yadav and pacer Mohammed Shami’s exceptional bowling effort to restrict New Zealand to a paltry 157 runs. While Kuldeep’s figures were 4/39, Shami was also phenomenal with the leather, scalping three

Kiwi wickets conceding just 19 runs from his six overs.

Yuzvendra Chahal and Kedar Jadhav picked two and one wicket, respectively.

Other than New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson (64), no other batsmen put up a fight against the disciplined Indian attack.

Opting to bat, the hosts had the worst possible start as Shami struck early sending back both the openers -- Martin Guptill (5) and Colin Munro (8), cheaply.

Newcomers Williamson and Ross Taylor (24) then tried to rescue their side from the early damage, taking New Zealand past the 50-run mark in 13.3 overs.

However, Taylor’s stay was cut short by Chahal in the 15th over with the hosts at 52/3.

With the addition of just 24 runs in the Kiwi scorecard, Chahal struck again to dismiss incom-

ing batsman Tom Latham (11). Jadhav and Shami then joined the party as they sent back Henr y Nicholls (12) and Mitchell Santner (14), leaving the hosts reeling at 133/6.

Williamson, however, continued to show resistance and kept one end safe, but lacked support from the other end.

While trying to clear the fence in the 34th over off a Kuldeep delivery, the Kiwi skipper misread the ball and offered a simple catch to Vijay Shankar at long-on.

Kuldee p then put the final nail in the coffin, picking the tailenders -- Doug Bracewell (7), Lockie Ferguson (0) and Trent Boult (1) in quick succession to wrap up the host in just 38 overs.

BRIEF SCORES: New Zealand 157 all out (Kane Williamson 64, Ross Taylor 24; Kuldeep Yadav 4/39) vs India 156/2 (Shikhar Dhawan 75 not out, Virat Kohli 45; Doug Bracewell 1/23)

IWF lifts ban on Sanjita

Sanjita Chanu (File)

New Delhi, Jan 23 (PTI): The International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) on Wednesday revoked the ban imposed on India’s Commonwealth Games gold medallist Khumukcham Sanjita Chanu.

The sport’s apex body informed the India Weightlifting Federation (IWLF) and Sanjita of the development.

“On the basis of the information at its disposal the IWF has decided that the provisional suspension of the athlete (Khumukcham Sanjita) shall be lifted as of today (22 January 2019),” the IWF legal Counsel Eva Nyirfa said in a letter. “The IWF Hearing Panel will

render its decision on the athlete’s case in due course,” it added.

Sanjita, who had won a gold in the women’s 53kg category at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, had tested positive for anabolic steroid testosterone as her urine sample was taken prior to the World Championships in November 17. The 25-year-old Indian lifter was then put under provisional suspension in May last year.

In Gold Coast, Sanjita had set a new Commonwealth Games record with a lift of 84 kg in snatch and 108 kg in clean and jerk, to finish with a total of 192 kg.

MELBOURNE, Jan 23 (Agencies): World No 1 Novak Djokovic reached the Australian Open semifinals in a hurry as an ailing Kei Nishikori retired when losing 6-1, 4-1 after just 51 minutes.

Nishikori had endured three five-set epics during 13 hours and 47 minutes on court before the quarter-final clash, and suffered a thigh strain in the first set as the marathon matches took their toll.

Djokovic will next play Lucas Pouille, who became the first Frenchman to reach the semi-finals of the Australian Open since Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in 2010 when he stunned Canada’s 16th seed Milos Raonic.

Eighth seed Nishikori began to suffer early in the first set and was a shadow of his usual fighting self as he lost it in 31 minutes.

After a medical timeout and three minutes of treatment from the physiotherapist, Nishikori emerged for the second

set with his right thigh strapped and courageously attempted to carry on.

He seemed to be moving a little more freely, but the recovery did not last long.

After being broken to go 2-1 down by the Serbian 14-time Grand Slam champion Nishikori became almost immobilised.

When Djokovic broke again to go 4-1 ahead it proved the last straw for Nishikori’s brave challenge.

Pouille, the 28th seed, fought back from a break down in the first set to win 7-6, 6-3, 6-7, 6-4 and reach the last four of a slam for the first time.

The 24-year-old had never won a match at Melbourne Park before this year but on Friday will face either Novak Djokovic or Kei Nishikori for a place in the final.
