N. Biren Singh handing over the joint memorandum to Rajnath Singh in Delhi on Monday.

NEW DELHI, JUL 16 (AGENCIES): Manipur chief minister N. Biren Singh, who is in Delhi to discuss the Naga peace agreement and its repercussions on Manipur with the Centre, warned on Monday that he and his colleagues in the government will have to “leave our posts” if their consent is not taken on the issue.

Biren, accompanied by his entire cabinet, MLAs and state BJP president Kh Bhabananda Singh, have been camping in New Delhi

and holding series of meetings with Central leaders since to convey the state “government’s position” on the Naga Accord.

The visit comes amidst speculation that the Framework Agreement that the Centre signed with NSCN (I-M) would soon be reaching its logical conclusion.

According to The Wire report, though top party sources in Nagaland categorically denied having any information about the signing of the Accord, BJP sources in Manipur unit

claimed, “There is a strong likelihood of the Accord being signed between the Central government and the NSCN (I-M) before the monsoon session of parliament which is beginning on July 18.” “Centre government is keen to sign the Accord before the third anniversary of the Framework Agreement, signed with the NSCN (I-M) on August 3, 2015,” sources said.

In a tweet on July 16, N. Biren said the delegation met Singh to submit “a joint memorandum” to express their viewpoints on the Framework Agreement.

He told reporters in Delhi that the Centre should formally inform the Manipur assembly and the state government before taking any decision” on arriving at the Naga Accord. “If our voice is not heard, if the consent of the state assembly or of the people is not taken (into cognizance) and changes are made (post Naga talks) then we will be nowhere.

Then automatically we will have to leave our posts,” he told ANI.

Fast-track projects in aspirational dists: MHRD Spl. Correspondent

NEW DELHI, JUL 16 (NPN): Union HRD minister, Prakash Javadekar on Monday urged all the states to fast track implementation of various special and specific schemes under RUSA and Samagra Shiksha for boosting quality of education and educational infrastructure in 117 ‘aspirational districts’ in line with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to achieve the aims of equity, access and excellence.

Addressing State Education ministers and secretaries through videoconferencing from Delhi, Javadekar stressed on the crucial role the states have to play in fast-tracking the operationalisation of the special schemes in these aspirational districts.

Listing out various projects and project-specific funding available under RUSA for expansion and

setting up of higher education institutions in aspirational districts, Javadekar said “A lot will depend on the State Government for the speedy implementation of the projects.”

He pointed out that over Rs 1700 crore have been allocated for ‘asipirational districts’ so far for setting up of 70 New Model Colleges; upgradation of existing degree colleges to Model Degree Colleges; strengthening infrastructural facilities through new construction, upgradation/renovation and purchase of equipments; and construction/upgradation of hostels, laboratories, libraries, etc. The assistance also includes upgradation of 29 Colleges to Model Degree Colleges, 7 New Professional Colleges (viz. Engineering & Management), infrastructure grants to 188 Colleges and 9 Universities.

He also informed that under the equity initiatives,

an amount of Rs 5 crore is being allocated for the purposes of improving the standard of higher education with a focus on females, SC/ST and educationally backward communities.

Javadekar also said that substantial allocation has been made for building and maintenance of separate toilets for girl students; provision of drinking water; and cleanliness in schools.

“Central Government has already allocated funds and authorised Panchayati Raj institutions to work for the upkeep of toilets and provision of clean drinking water in government schools,” he said. He also urged the state governments to ensure availability of electricity in all the government schools.

Javadekar also asked the state governments to ensure proper deployment of teachers in schools and recruit wherever it is necessary.

In an interview with the Hindustan Times, Singh said: “We have a 2,000-yearold history. We got independence on August 14, 1947; India got independence on August 15. We formally merged in 1949. We have a history we cannot ignore.

There is a pulse, an emotion of the people we cannot ignore. Maintaining our identity is very important.

Of course, nation is also important. All we are saying is please do consult us.”

“This time, we have come in a full team– with all ministers, MLAs, and senior party leaders including the state president. We are about 35 people. We are here to request the Centre that we support the peace initiative. But in the meantime, there is a state, there is a constitutional scheme, there is a federal structure, and so if there is any decision, please convey to us in advance so that we can take a decision in the assembly.

If not, then all elected members, including me, will be an in an extreme position,” Singh said.

India raises influx issue with B’desh NEW DELHI, JUL 16 (AGENCIES): India formally raised the issue of illegal migration from Bangladesh to India with the neighbouring country.

According to The Assam Tribune report, official here said that Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh cochaired the sixth meeting of the Home Minister level talks with his Bangladesh counterpart Asaduzzaman Khan in Dhaka. Besides security related matters of interest, including counter-terrorism, border management etc. sources said the issue of influx from Bangladesh to India figured in the meeting and the two sides agreed to tighten vigilance along the international border.

Senior officials of Bangladesh have been maintaining that India has never raised the issue of illegal infiltration with the Government of Bangladesh.

People are real owners of their data not companies: TRAI NEW DELHI, JUL 16 (AGENCIES): Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) on Monday made its stand clear around the debate over ‘user data privacy’, saying no one besides consumers can be the real owners of data and that the companies holding information about them are nothing but its “custodians”. Saying the present norms around the user data privacy in India are not enough, TRAI stressed that consumers should be given the choice to safeguard their privacy.

“The right to choice, notice, consent, data portability, and right to be forgotten should be conferred upon the consumers,” TRAI recommended to Department of Telecom.

TRAI made it clear that telecom companies need to make their ‘consent mechanism’ more transparent to ensure the consumers of digital services can take decisions based on sufficient choices put forth. It also suggested that all digital entities, including telecom operators, should clearly disclose information about the privacy breaches on their websites.

DIMAPUR, JUL 16 (NPN): With even the faintest glimmer of hope of revival having evaporated, the formal closure of Nagaland’s only major industry – Nagaland Pulp & Paper Company Ltd (NPPCL) at Tuli in Mokokchung district – is now not only imminent but just a matter of time, sources said.

Set up in 1971, the joint venture of Hindustan Paper Corporation Ltd (HPCL) and Government of Nagaland had stopped operating since August 2015.

Now, with the board of directors of HPC having been recently dissolved and taken over by National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), there is likelihood of the corporation being sold to a recognised bidder in order to clear the corpo-

In this regard, he said the federation could apprise the state government to increase the amount for the genuine students. NSF president informed that first phase of initiative would

He reminded that Article 371A dealt with matters relating to religious or social practices of the Nagas, their customary law and procedure, administration of civil and criminal justice involving decisions according to Naga customary law and ownership and transfer of land and its resources.

Hitting out at Rio, the NPF leader said when infiltration of illegal immigrants into the state has been taking place unabated, Rio’s reliance on unconfirmed hypothesis such as protection under Article 371(A) of the Constitution of India and the ILP Regulations “was a grievous fallacy”. He opined that Cabinet Meeting Agenda No.10 contained objectives that were contradictory and inconsistent in itself. “This reveals the fact that, despite growing opposition of the Bill, the State Cabinet in its Meeting had either decided not to oppose the said Bill intentionally or had taken the decision without understanding the content of the said Bill, its

was for academic expenses of those students whose parents’ income was low.

Further, Ltu said that the federation was initiating the campaign to discourage corruption in the society, adding it was not imposing on anybody. NSF president challenged the students to voluntarily come out and set an example on corruption and malpractice in the state.

NEW DELHI, JUL 16 (NPN): LoP in the state assembly T.R.Zeliang has picked up the issue of Citizenship Amendment Bill 2016 through which BJP seeks to provide Indian citizenship to Bangladeshis who can prove they have stayed in India for six years.

This bill has been opposed by various states in the north east including BJP allies in Assam and Meghalaya.

Against the backdrop of chief minister Neiphiu Rio reiterating that Nagaland will only oppose the Bill if it infringed upon the rights of Nagas under Article 371A or the ILP, Zeliang threw the gauntlet by pointing out that the Bill, introduced in the Lok Sabha on July 15, 2016, seeks to amend the Citizenship Act of 1955 to provide citizenship to illegal migrants from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan, who are of Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi or Christian extraction “unlike the Inner Line Permit (ILP) which only provides access to outsiders for inward travel into Nagaland”.

significance and possible ramifications,” Zeliang said.

Zeliang said the cabinet resolution under Agenda No. 10 “possibly” reveals the ignorance of the State Cabinet adding that the Cabinet decision was contradictory and inconsistent in itself.

He said this revealed that, despite growing opposition to the Bill, the State Cabinet had either decided not to oppose it intentionally, or had taken the decision without understanding its content, significance and possible ramifications. Zeliang maintained that the decision revealed the ignorance of the Cabinet and thus the “indecisiveness” on the contentious matter or, even worse, the decision was taken out of compulsion, to gratify the Central government at the cost of Naga people.

Asking the State government to support the Bill, if it was beneficial for the Nagas, Zeliang however, said the decision to not interfere in national policies without understanding the implications of the controversial Bill was a clear threat to the Nagas and their identity.

Fund crisis may shutdown Tuli paper mill

NSF: ‘No to false claim on scholarships’ campaign KOHIMA, JUL 16 (NPN): With the aim of discouraging ineligible students from applying for Post Matric Scholarship (PMS), the Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) launched a campaign “No to False Claim on Scholarships” at Sazolie College Jotsoma here Monday.

Speaking at the campaign launching programme, NSF president, Kesosül Christopher Ltu, said the federation initiated the campaign so the genuine students were not deprived of their rights.

Pointing out that 45000 students apply for scholarship every year under various schemes in the state, NPF president, however, expressed doubt that many bogus candidates apply scholarship in the state.

He reminded the student community that the actual purpose of scholarship

Petrol, diesel prices fall after 10 days New Delhi, Jul 16 (IANS): Petrol prices fell around 10 paise across the four metro cities on Monday after rising nearly a rupee and a half in the the last 10 days. Prices of diesel also were down around 13-15 paise from the levels on Sunday.

The Government of India had allocated Rs 100 crore to HPC, of which only Rs 33 crore was diverted to NPPCL. The amount proved too meagre to clear the pending dues to the vendors and arrear salary of the paper mill’s employees.

The State government had reportedly given a loan of Rs 1.2 crore, out of which three months’ salary was paid, while another one month’s salary was paid out of equity amount.

Subsequently the mill sold scrap and paid another three months’ salary. However, the employees have not been paid since June (Cont’d on p-7) 2017.

by Mark Medom. (NP)

Staff Reporter DIMAPUR, JUL 16 (NPN): Dimapur Municipal Council, today, launched a mobile friendly automated DMC online trade license payment gateway (www. dmcnagaland.com) where citizens can obtain new trade licenses, renew existing trade license, and pay trade license fees.

Advisor, department of power, Tovihoto Ayemi who inaugurated the online portal at Don Bosco Higher Secondary Conference Hall on Monday, said that the online portal had been in the offing for a few years and that it was much needed for the business community of

Dimapur.

Project manager of Symbios, Hopeto also showed a slideshow presentation on the features of the online trade portal and how traders could apply for trade licenses or make payments.

Traders can view their basic information and current year payment information, view their pending renewal fee and pay them by simply entering the trade license details.

After the launch, Tovihoto Ayemi also inaugurated the ‘Dumping Free Zone Project’ near Rama Krishna Mission Society at Duncan Basti. The area which had been a dumping zone has been beautified

with a ‘Transformer Tree’ and benches. Mark Medom designed the ‘Transformer Tree’ which symbolizes life and is made from scrap metal.

Addressing the gathering earlier at Don Bosco Higher Secondary Conference Hall, Tovihoto Ayemi said the business community and the Dimapur Municipal Council were like two sides of a same coin and that the launch of the online portal was one of the most remarkable initiatives taken up by DMC in recent times.

Dwelling on the issue of cleanliness, Tovihoto Ayemi said that though Nagaland ranks as the third dirtiest state in the country, people

should not be discouraged and it should instead serve as an eye-opener. He added that people should not always blame, or depend on, the DMC alone but understand that the responsibility of keeping the town clean lies with every individual.

He said cleanliness starts at home and in one’s own surroundings.

T h e p r o g r a m wa s chaired by director of Pathfinders, Nagaland, Vitono Gugu Haralu; associate pastor, DABA, Imnatoshi said the dedicatory prayer both for the launch of DMC online trade license payment gateway and the ‘Dumping Free Zone Project’ at Duncan Basti.

Manipur University impasse: Seven injured in lathi charge

Police trying to stop students from storming Imphal Raj Bhavan on Monday. (NP) Correspondent

IMPHAL, Jul 16: Atleast seven students were injured on Monday after police resorted to lathi charge to disperse the agitating students under the aegis of Democratic Students’ Alliance of Manipur (DESAM), who reportedly tried to storm Imphal Raj Bhavan and state BJP office.

The students were protesting against alleged Central government failure to bring an end to the one and a half month old crisis in the Manipur University.

DESAM general secretary Oinam Shital suffered fracture on his left hand after it came under the wheel of a moving truck during the scuffle with police personnel in front of the BJP office.

The injured students were rushed to Raj Medicity hospital, Imphal while

students with minor injuries discharged after medical treatment at RIMS hospital.

The students first tried to storm the Raj Bhavan but were stopped by the police on their way.

In the scuffle, a girl student fell unconscious while two others suffered injuries.

The students also attempted to storm the state BJP office opposite Raj Bhavan.

However, they were unsuccessful as police resorted to lathi-charge.

Later, former DESAM general secretary L Edison, talking to reporters denounced the attitude of the responsible Central government authorities and state governor to resolve the crisis.

DESAM warned that it would be compelled to join

the campaign demanding removal of vice-chancellor AP Pandey, if Centre remained silent on the issue.

Meanwhile, a joint emergency meeting of the agitating Manipur University Students’ Union (MUSU), Manipur University Teachers’ Association (MUTA) and Manipur University Staff Association (MUSA) was held on Monday afternoon and vehemently condemned the “police brutality” towards the students.

While terming the police action as “barbarian and undemocratic”, the meeting resolved to demand immediate magisterial enquiry into today’s incident.

The meeting further reaffirmed their stand not to retreat from their agitations until the present VC prof AP Pandey is removed.

Meanwhile, chief minister is in Delhi campaigning to end the crisis in the Manipur University.

And, on Monday, a 30member state BJP delegation led by chief minister N Biren Singh met Union human resources development minister Prakash Javedekar in his official residence and discussed on finding a way to resolve the crisis.

The delegation apprised the Union HRD minister about the present impasse in the MU. They also submitted a copy of the state cabinet’s suggestion of setting up an enquiry committee to look into the issues raised by MU community, a statement from PRO to CM in Imphal said.

The delegation also met the Union minister Rajnath Singh and submitted a joint memorandum, detailing the party state unit’s viewpoint on the Framework Agreement signed between the Centre and NSCN(I-M) in August 2015.

In the evening, the chief minister met Union external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj and discussed the Indo-Myanmar boundary pillar issue.

The Union minister agreed to send a joint team of Union ministry of external affairs, ministry of home affairs and Survey of India for a fresh verification of border pillar 80-82, the release added.

President nod to act against witch-hunt Guwahati, Jul 16 (PTI): President Ram Nath Kovind has approved the Assam Witch Hunting (Prohibition, Prevention and Protection) Bill, 2015, converting it to an Act, almost three years after it was passed by the state Assembly.

The Act, aimed at eliminating the superstition from the society, imposes a punishment of up to seven years and a fine of up to Rs 5 lakh.

Kovind gave his assent to the Bill on June 13, making any offence under the Act as non-bailable, cognizable and non-compoundable, according to information available on the official website of the president’s secretariat.

B r a n d i n g p e o p l e, mostly women, as witch and killing them is a very old problem across Assam.

Between 2001 and 2017, 193 people -- 114 women and 79 men -- have been branded as witch and killed and 202 cases have been registered by the police during this period, Additional Director General of Police (CID) Anil Kumar Jha said.

To tackle this menace, the Assam Assembly on August 13, 2015, had unanimously passed a Bill, which imposes imprisonment of up to seven years, along with a fine of up to Rs 5 lakh, for branding someone as witch. This Bill has now become an Act.

7 PPA MLAs join NPP in Arunachal Pradesh I TA NAG A R , J U L 1 6 (AGENCIES): In a significant political development ahead of the 2019 general elections, 7 out of the 9 legislators from the People’s Party of Arunachal (PPA) have joined the National People’s Party (NPP), NE Now reported.

“Legislators Tanga Byaling, Rajesh Tacho, Tapang Taloh, Nikh Kamin, Tirong Aboh, Dikto Yikar and Mutchu Mithi would officially be announced as the new members of NPP within a couple of days,” NPP State president Gicho Kabak told media persons on Monday.

Kabak said, “The 7 MLAs have already the joined the party on July 12 at its headquarters in Shillong in presence of NPP president Conrad K Sangma and an official announcement would be made soon as they were unable to meet the legislative assembly speaker to complete the formalities.”

“Now we have seven MLAs in the State who represent the NPP. We will work in alliance with the BJP led government led

by Chief Minister Pema Khandu,” added Kabak.

NPP State vice president and spokesperson Nima Sange said, “Since NPP is already an alliance under the North East Democratic Alliance (NEDA), the joining of seven MLA will automatically fall under the guidance of the present state government BJP.” The official announcement of the merger by the MLAs will also be prepared

under the NEDA in a meeting chaired by Himanta Biswa Sarma soon. The meeting will also be attended by Chief Ministers Conrad K Sangma and Pema Khandu, Sange said.

NPP is growing stronger each passing day and it along with the BJP will always work for the development and welfare of the state, he added. Sange also said, MLAs from both BJP and NPP would contest in the ensuing 2019 general elections from their respective places, however, there will be no pre-poll alliance.

“The NPP will not project any candidate as Chief Minister but will focus on a common representative,” Sange said. He also clarified that with the merger, the NPP has no intention to fill up the portfolio of a Cabinet minister or any agreement has been made in this regard.

NPP was formed in the State on August 7 last year after a large number of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leaders including Kabak and Sange dissolved the party and merged with it.

The dissolution of the NCP in this BJP-ruled the State came after NCP leaders alleged that NCP President Sharad Pawar showed ‘no keen and active interest’ in Arunachal Pradesh.

Founded by, PA Sangma after his expulsion from the NCP in July 2012, NPP is a national political party in India. Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma is the present president of the party.

Row over talks to ‘end’ act against forced conversion GUWAHATI, Jul 16 (Agencies): Talk of repealing the Arunachal Pradesh Freedom of Religion Act, 1978, which prohibits conversion from one religious faith to any other by use of force, inducement or fraudulent means, has sparked a debate in the BJPruled northeastern state.

The controversy started last month, when CM Pema Khandu said the act would be brought before the next assembly session for repeal because it could be misused, Economic Times reported.

Elections are scheduled in Arunachal next year, with the term of the assembly ending in April. The anti-conversion law “could undermine secularism and is probably targeted towards Christians,” Khandu said at a function organised by the Arunachal Pradesh Catholic Association at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Karsingsa. Tribal groups in the state are against repealing the act. The Indigenous Faith and Cultural Society of Arunachal Pradesh (IFCSAP) and the Nyishi Indigenous Faiths and Cultural Society said talk of a repeal amounts to minority appeasement.

However, Ram Madhav, BJP general secretary in-charge of the northeast, declared that the chief minister had not said the law would be repealed. The state unit of the BJP is against tweaking the APFR act because it says it is a freedom of religion law and not an anti-conversion law.

cleared, with one of the dumping sites even reaching a height close to that of the Qutub Minar.

Terming the situation in Delhi as “absolutely bizarre”, the top court had referred to the “mountains of garbage” at three landfill sites in Ghazipur, Okhla and Bhalswa, and said there was a 65-metre mound at Ghazipur which was “only eight metre less than the historic Qutub Minar”.

The L-G office said that immediately after assuming office, Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal visited all the three landfill sites and Construction and Demolition Waste Plants (C&D Waste) at Burari and Shastri Park.

According to the statement, all projects at landfill sites that are underway will be completed by August 2020 and after completion of these three projects, it is expected that no untreated garbage will be dumped at the landfill sites.

About Okhla Landfill site, the LG office said that with accumulated garbage of 60 lakh MT the land-

Register all child care institutions, directs Maneka New Delhi, Jul 16 (PTI): Taking cognisance of recent cases of alleged illegal adoptions carried out by missionaries in Jharkhand, Union Minister Maneka Gandhi today directed state governments to ensure that all child care institutions get registered and linked to the country’s apex adoption body, CARA, within a month.

The mandatory registration of CCIs and linking to the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) has been provided in the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 which came into force more than two years ago, but some orphanages had challenged the validity of this clause, a Women and Child Development Ministry official said.

“The child care institutions should have been linked long back. The deadline for registering all CCIs was December 1, 2017 and it is something that needs to be urgently done,” said Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) CEO Lt Col (retd) Deepak Kumar, adding that the children in these institutions should be brought into the adoption system.

UP rape, murder case: 2 held, 3 absconding Sambhal (UP), July 16 (PTI): Two of the five people accused of burning a woman alive after raping her in Rajpura area of Sambhal district have been arrested, the police said today.

The woman was allegedly burnt alive inside a temple premises after she was raped by the five people in her house on Saturday.

Superintendent of Police R M Bharadwaj said, “The prime accused in the case have been arrested.

Both of them are being interrogated. Four police teams have been formed and they are conducting raids at various places to nab the other three accused,” he said.

Additional Director General of Bareilly zone Prem Prakash told reporters, “As far as the complaint made on 100 (by the victim) is concerned, the call details of the number are being collected and we are waiting for it. Apart from this, investigations so far revealed that as of now, no call was made from this number.”

The Circle Officer of Gunnaur, Aqil Ahmad, said the accused were relatives of the 30-year-old victim.

According to a complaint lodged by the victim’s husband, the incident took place on Saturday around 2.30 am when the woman

was in her house with her daughter. Five people barged into the house and raped her, police officials said. The accused then dragged her to a hut inside the premises of a temple and burnt her alive, Ahmad had said quoting the complaint. The hut, where the woman was burnt alive, was used to perform ‘yagna and havan’, SHO, Rajpura, Arun Kumar had told PTI. Bhardwaj, had yesterday said that post-mortem of the victim could not confirm whether she was raped.

In his complaint, the victim’s husband alleged that after she was gangraped, his wife called her cousin to inform about the incident but by the time the police could be contacted, the accused returned and dragged her to the hut and burnt her alive.

An FIR has been registered against five people under IPC sections 376 D (gangrape), 302 (murder), 201 (causing disappearance of evidence), 147 (punishment for rioting), 148 (rioting, armed with deadly weapons) and 149 (every member of unlawful assembly guilty of offence committed in prosecution of common object), a police official said.

upcoming session itself so that women can participate “more meaningfully” in the state elections later this year and in the Lok Sabha polls next year.

“Prime Minister, in many of your public rallies you have spoken about your passion for empowering women and involving them more meaningfully in public life.

“What better way to demonstrate your commitment to the cause of women, than by offering your unconditional support to the passage of the Women’s Reservation Bill? And what better time, than the upcoming session of Parliament? Any further delay will make it impossible to implement before the next general elections,” Gandhi wrote to Modi.

He said the Women’s Reservation Bill, which was passed by the Rajya Sabha on March 9, 2010, has been stalled on one pretext or the other in the Lok Sabha for over eight years now.

Since then, while the Congress has been unwavering in its commitment to the Bill, the BJP appears to have had second thoughts, even though this was one of its key promises in its 2014 manifesto, Gandhi said.

Reacting to Gandhi’s letter of support, Senior BJP leader and union minister Prakash Javadekar sought to know whether the Congress could ensure letters of support for the Bill from its own allies.

local BJP unit as well as Mr. Modi’s personal staff, including his doctor and SPG personnel, swung into action to help the injured, officials said. Mr. Modi also visited the injured at the hospital later.

Eyewitnesses said that some people clambered on top of the marquee, which was covered with tarpaulin.

The structure could not withstand their weight and collapsed leading to several in the gathering, including women, being injured, they said. They said that it could have been a major accident.

A BJP functionary said the injured were taken to hospital by the ambulance in the PM’s convoy.

After addressing the rally, the Prime Minister went to the hospital and spoke to some of the injured.

Continuing his speech after the tent collapse, he complimented the people

in the rally for showing discipline and helping out the injured.

When asked about the accident, BJP national secretary Rahul Sinha said that the poles of the tent fell as the ground was completely wet after the rains.

Also, many people climbed atop the tent which could not take their weight.

He said police and local security personnel should have been more careful and should not have allowed supporters to climb the tent.

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that the state government would provide all medical assistance to those injured in the rally. “ We p r ay f o r t h e speedy recovery of all those injured at the Midnapore rally today. The government is giving all help for medical treatment,” Ms. Banerjee wrote tweeted.

NC ready to fight for democracy: Omar

UP CM seeks doctors’ help in spreading awareness to curb encephalitis

AAP demands CBI probe in drug nexus

S r i nag a r , J u l 1 6 (PTI): National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah today claimed his party was ready to fight all “overt and covert machinations” aimed at “subvert democracy” in Jammu and Kashmir.

Everyone has a right to seek the trust and faith of the people as democracy is a right but subverting democracy through “machinations and covert arrangements with the powers that be” is a sin and a “contempt” of the aspirations of the people, Abdullah said addressing a party meeting here. The former chief minister was apparently referring to speculation that some disgruntled MLAs from several parties, including the PDP, might cobble up a third front to form a government in the state with the support of the BJP. Abdullah said the party was formed on a strong, unshakeable bedrock of honour and faith and the sacrifices rendered by thousands of party workers and leaders were guiding inspirations that can never be compromised with.

Gorakhpur (UP), Jul 16 (PTI): Uttar Pradesh C h i e f M i n i s t e r Yo g i Adityanath today sought the help of medical fraternity in spreading awareness about various preventive measures to curb encephalitis in rural areas.

The Chief Minister made the appeal to the doctors while inaugurating and laying foundation stones for a slew of completed and new projects worth nearly Rs 75 crore in Baba Raghav Das Medical College here.

Adityanath asked the doctors to hold at least two ‘chaupals’ for over four hours per week in rural areas to spread the awareness about various preventive measures against encephalitis. “When I see the last 40 years’ data on encephalitis deaths, I feel very sad. We need to understand that prevention is the most important measure in combating encephalitis,” said the Chief Minister.

“Be sensitive towards providing facilities to patients. A doctor is not honest if he is not doing so. I appeal to the media and the intel-

People stand near a tent that collapsed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s public meeting in Midnapore district of West Bengal on Monday. (PTI) Midnapore, Jul 16 (AGENCIES): A makeshift tent collapsed at the venue of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rally here on Monday when he was midway through his speech, injuring 67 people including 13 women, officials said.

The tent was erected next to the main entrance of the rally venue to shelter people from the rain. The Prime Minister saw the tent collapsing during his speech and immediately instructed special protection group (SPG) personnel standing near him to look after the people and attend to the injured, officials said.

P. Kundu, principal of government-run West Midnapore Medical College and Hospital, said that 67 people including 13 women were admitted after the incident but no one was seriously injured. The

lectuals to encourage the good work of the medical college,” he added.

Taking a dig at previous governments’ “slow pace” in developing medical infrastructure in the state, Adityanath said, “Only 13 medical colleges were made from 1947 to 2014 in Uttar Pradesh, besides an incomplete one at Rai Bareli.”

“Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, five medical colleges are being built in UP alone for the last one year. We are also planning to make eight new medical colleges with the help of the Central government. The work on building AIIMS too is underway on war footing,” the CM added.

“The previous governments posed many hindrances in building medical colleges. I want to congratulate the Medical Education Department that they started work after resolving all disputes in a year,” he

said. “Today 25 to 50 per cent physical developments could be seen at all those medical colleges and, within a month, we will lay the foundation stone for a Common Rehabilitation Centre (CRC) and a Regional Virology Centre (RVC) here.”

The Chief Minister also accused the previous government of not securing the Centre’s aid for strengthening the state’s medical infrastructure.

“The Central government wanted to give life-support ambulances to the state but the previous government did not want to take it. As soon as our government came to power, we gave two life-support ambulances to each district of the state,” he said. He added his government wanted to add over 750 more ambulances to service the calls to the emergency telephone number 108 and cut down the response time for ferrying patients to hospitals.

Lu d h i a na , J u l 1 6 (PTI): The Aam Aadmi Party’s Punjab unit today said the Congress government in the state lacked the will to destroy the nexus between drug lords, police and political bigwigs, and demanded a CBI inquiry into the drug trade.

At a meeting of AAP workers here, AAP’s Punjab unit co-president Balbir Singh claimed that a large section of the Punjabi youth was in the grip of drugs and thousands of families had been ruined. He said drug eradication was one of the main promises made by the Congress in its election manifesto, and Chief Minister Amarinder Singh had sworn to completely eliminate drug abuse from Punjab in four weeks, “but not a single concrete step has been taken in this regard even after a year”.

A dedicated helpline number would also be circulated among people to give information about antisocial elements, he said.

Tent collapses during Modi’s Midnapore rally; 67 injured

New Delhi, Jul 16 (PTI): Two days ahead of the monsoon session of Parliament, Congress President Rahul Gandhi today raked up the contentious issue of Women’s Reservation Bill, asking Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “walk his talk” by ensuring its passage and offered his party’s “unconditional support”.

However, the BJP was quick to accuse the opposition party of adopting “double standard” on the matter by siding with those who were opposed to the bill and asked if the Congress could assure support of its allies, in an apparent reference to parties like Lalu Prasad Yadav-led RJD and Mulayam Singh Yadav’s Samajwadi Party.

The Rajya Sabha had passed the constitutional amendment bill on March 9, 2010 to facilitate reserving one-third of total seats in state assemblies and Parliament for women, but the Lok Sabha never voted on it and the proposed legislation lapsed after the dissolution of the 15th Lok Sabha in 2014.

“Our PM says he’s a crusader for women’s empowerment? Time for him to rise above party politics, walk-his-talk & have the Women’s Reservation Bill passed by Parliament. The Congress offers him its unconditional support,” Gandhi tweeted and attached a letter to Modi.

The Congress chief urged Modi to ensure that the Bill gets passed in the

New Delhi, Jul 16 (PTI): Days after the Supreme Court castigated Lt Governor Anil Baijal for doing nothing to get the “mountains of garbage” cleared, his office today said that work is already underway to address these problems in a time bound manner and in a “comprehensive and sustainable way”.

A statement issued

It said Baijal had been regularly reviewing and monitoring garbage disposal plans and actions of MCDs for management of legacy mounds and processing of daily waste generated their “site specific challenges” and imminent requirement of remediation of these huge mounds.

“As a result of intensive and continuous monitoring by the lieutenant governor through site visits and regular meetings and the directions and guidance given, work is already underway to address these problems in a time bound manner in a comprehensive and sustainable way,” the statement stated.

OPINiON/EDITORIAL

Nagaland Post Vol. XXVIII NO. 220 Dimapur, TUESDAY, JULY 17, 2018

Political Don Quixote

A

s the Lok Sabha elections in 2019 nears, there is considerable wordy duels sometimes leading to the spectacularly illogical and insanely disturbing politics as both BJP and Congress warm up. There is also considerable speculation about activities of opposition parties scrambling to form a rainbow coalition to stop Modi from retaining power.

It may be pointed out that currently, out of 29 states, BJP rules in 13 states and heads coalition government with its allies in six states, most of them wrested from the grand old party. That many states translates into 70% of the population of India. That is the reason why BJP is confident of returning back with a bigger majority than the 282 it got in 2014. The BJP’s control over 19 states is the biggest ever by any party as it surpasses that of the Congress in 1993 after a round of state elections. The Congress held 16 of India’s then 26 states - 15 on its own; one in alliance. Congress now controls just one big state-Punjab and the sole surviving state in the north east-Mizoram and has a coalition government with JDS in Karnataka and the small union territory of Puducherry, down from 15 in 2013. In 2014, when the Narendra Modi government came to power in Delhi, the BJP ruled just seven states. The same year, the Congress was in power in 13 states. The BJP has now established a strong presence across large parts of the Northeast, one of the two regions (the other being the South) where it has traditionally been weak. The BJP has no qualms about sentiments as it has taken a clear stand about communalism versus nationalism. The BJP’s articulation, though appearing extreme to the point of being likened to fascism, is finding more takers. The saffron party has also effectively marginalised the charge of being a “communal party” by successfully roping in political opportunists to form coalition governments. The BJP has also successfully deflected attacks against it’s main agenda of bringing major amendments to the constitution if it retains power in 2019. On the other hand, the Congress appears to be fighting its own inability to drive the message and comprehend how people view it from how the party views itself vis-a-vis the dynastic Nehru-Gandhi “high command.” Unlike the BJP and the Sangh Parivar, the Congress lacks a sense of purpose and unanimity to use religion for its electoral gains. That is why the Congress has been falling prey to its own unpreparedness. For instance, Rahul has called a meet with ‘Muslim intellectuals’ at a time when BJP has successfully driven a wedge among the community. To make matters worse, Sashi Tharoor expressed fears of India turning into a “Hindu Pakistan” if the BJP gets voted to power in 2019.

However, majority of Muslims have already gone to the SP, TMC and other parties so it’s a lost cause.

Instead of trying to convince that Congress is secular, Rahul should focus on rise in fuel prices, farm crisis, unemployment, crime against women, children and minorities and Modi’s unfulfilled poll promises. Modi has little to worry so long as Rahul is projected as his political rival. Rahul’s leadership of will therefore, have to reassessed ahead of the 2019. In addition, the Congress is financially in dire straits and cannot fight elections. These are among several problems facing the Congress which has made BJP confident of coming back with a thumping majority.

DailyDevotion The Concept of Divine Control …how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! —Matthew 7:11 Jesus is laying down the rules of conduct in this passage for those people who have His Spirit. He urges us to keep our minds filled with the concept of God’s control over everything, which means that a disciple must maintain an attitude of perfect trust and an eagerness to ask and to seek.

Fill your mind with the thought that God is there.

And once your mind is truly filled with that thought, when you experience difficulties it will be as easy as breathing for you to remember, “My heavenly Father knows all about this!” This will be no effort at all, but will be a natural thing for you when difficulties and uncertainties arise. Before you formed this concept of divine control so powerfully in your mind, you used to go from person to person seeking help, but now you go to God about it. Jesus is laying down the rules of conduct for those people who have His Spirit, and it works on the following principle: God is my Father, He loves me, and I will never think of anything that He will forget, so why should I worry?

Jesus said there are times when God cannot lift the darkness from you, but you should trust Him. At times God will appear like an unkind friend, but He is not; He will appear like an unnatural father, but He is not; He will appear like an unjust judge, but He is not. Keep the thought that the mind of God is behind all things strong and growing. Not even the smallest detail of life happens unless God’s will is behind it. Therefore, you can rest in perfect confidence in Him. Prayer is not only asking, but is an attitude of the mind which produces the atmosphere in which asking is perfectly natural.

“Ask, and it will be given to you…” (Matthew 7:7).

Quotes

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood. ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca

I

n an earlier article I talked about the miraculous effects of Panchgavya on crops. Dr K. Natarajan, who has written the book after years of experimenting with it, has also written a chapter on its effects on animals.

After the studies on plants, his team started on animals and humans. For those who did not read the previous piece, this is how to make it.

Panchgavya consists of five products from the cow: dung, urine, milk, curd and ghee. Dr Natarajan has added some more ingredients. So this is what his panchgavya recipe is: Fresh cow dung 5 kg, cow urine 3 litres, cow milk 2 litres, cow ghee ½ kg, cow curd 2 litres, sugarcane juice 3 litres, tender coconut water 3 litres, 12 ripe bananas and toddy, or grape juice, 2 litres.

This gets you 20 litres of panchgavya.

Take a wide mouthed mud pot, concrete tank or plastic can. No metal containers. Put in fresh dung and ghee first and

mix twice daily for 3 days.

On the 4th day add the rest of the ingredients and stir twice daily for 15 days.

After the 18th day keep in the shade and cover with a mesh to prevent flies. If you don’t have sugarcane juice, add 500 gms of jaggery dissolved in 3 litres of water.

If you don’t have toddy, put 2 litres of tender coconut water in a closed plastic container for 10 days. It will ferment and become toddy. This panchgavya can be kept for six months, and when it becomes thick, water can be added to keep it liquid.

Typically, Dr Natarajan, being a scientist and not an animal welfare person, did his experiments with animals grown for meat and milk, and worked in factory farms that grow these animals commercially.

Pigs were fed panchgavya mixed with drinking water at the rate of 10 ml to 50 ml per pig. They became healthy and disease free and (I do not approve of this) the owners reduced the feed with no effect on

Nagaland Post, Dimapur TUESDAY, JULY 17, 2018

Elixir of many microorganisms their well being. The same things happened for goats and sheep who were given 10-20 ml daily.

Chickens were given 1 ml per bird per day and became disease free. They laid bigger eggs for longer periods, and the weight gain in broilers was impressive. They did not need antibiotics or growth hormones.

Panchgavya was applied daily, mixed with fresh cow dung, in fish ponds. It increased the growth of algae, weeds and small worms, increasing the food for the fish. However, fresh water had to be added at regular intervals to the pond, as the growth of weeds/algae decreased the oxygen available for the

fish. In ten months each fish grew to 2-3 kg and the mortality of fingerlings decreased.

According to Dr Natarajan, he did not want to give panchgavya to the cows, as it was part of their own excreta. However, his team mixed it in the feeding trough, with animal feed, and water at the rate of 100 ml per day per cow. The cows became healthier with increased milk which had an increased fat content.

Problems, like retained placentas, mastitis and foot and mouth disease, disappeared and the skins of the cows became glossier.

Some farmers spray urea on paddy straw (hay) before storing. These farmers in Tamil Nadu, where

storing is known as “staking”, store the paddy straw in layers and spray urea on each layer before putting the next one on, till a height of 10 feet. It is then covered with palm leaves to protect from the rain. Instead of the urea, Natarajan’s team sprayed a 3% solution of panchgavya, layer after layer and allowed the stored hay to ferment. The cows were given a choice of which hay to eat. They always chose the sprayed hay to the unsprayed/ urea sprayed hay. The stored hay can be kept upto a year.

Dr Natarajan has recommended another veterinary product that can be made at home.

Gomati Sangeevi (Herbal antibiotic).

Add 300 grams of fresh neem bark (after discarding the dried outer layer), 200 gms of green leaves of the jackfruit, to 5 litres of water and boil in a mud pot till it is reduced to 2.5 litres. After filtering, the red concoction can be used as oral medication for cattle. Cattle should be given 500 ml at one

time on appearance of symptoms and repeated if the symptoms persist. 500 ml as a onetime dose to be given to other animals in the vicinity as a onetime measure. Calves get half the dose.

According to Dr Natarajan panchgavya is an elixir of many microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, amino acids, vitamins, enzymes, unknown growth promoting agents, micronutrients, antioxidants and immunity enhancers.

When taken orally by animals it stimulates the immune system and produces antibodies, acting like a vaccine. It is especially helpful in digesting and curing constipation.

He has also experimented on dogs but, alas, no findings have been recorded. His number is 09443358379 for anyone who is interested in learning about panchgavya.

Nagas and Mizos are the two communities that suffered worst forms of mistreatment that was ever known to mankind by the “superior”. They were subject to oppression, suppression and exploitation, and the worst of all, their legitimate political right was denied and was attempted to crush. Given these extreme political conditions and trouble history that the two communities go through for decades, Nagas and Mizos are supposed to be a group of people that should suffer the worst form of inferiority complex and should obstruct all form of progress. In a way, Nagas and Mizos could defy this rule of psychology.

If there is any success story find so far in the region, it was not because of but in spite of being placed in a wrong political system.

The strength of character demonstrated by the people of the region, including the Nagas and the Mizos, during the years of turmoil and the eventual recovery had one enduring lesson to learn with; amidst suffering one can still choose to be happy, cherish life and progress with life. The meaning of life, its beauty and the joy of living is not about ecstasy, enchantment or fantasy. It is achieved through connecting with reality, managing the different dynamics of life and becoming partakers in the realm of that masterpiece Creator.

Acid rain: Causes, effects and solutions

A

cid rain, or acid deposition, is a broad term that includes any form of precipitation that contains acidic components, such as sulfuric acid or nitric acid, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The precipitation is not necessarily wet or liquid; the definition includes dust, gasses, rain, snow, fog and hail. The type of acid rain that contains water is called wet deposition. Acid rain formed with dust or gasses is called dry deposition.

Causes: The term acid rain was coined in 1852 by Scottish chemist Robert Angus Smith, according to the Royal Society of Chemistry, which calls him the “father of acid rain.” Smith decided on the term while examining rainwater chemistry near industrial cities in England and Scotland.

He wrote about his findings in 1872 in the book “Air and Rain: The Beginnings of a Chemical Climatology.”

In the 1950s, scientists in the United States started studying the phenomenon, and in the 1960s and early 1970s, acid rain became recognized as a regional environmental issue that affected Western Europe and eastern North America.

Though manmade pollutants are currently affecting most acidic precipitation, natural disasters can be a factor as well.

For example, volcanoes can cause acid rain by blasting pollutants into the air.

These pollutants can be carried around the world in jet streams and turned into acid rain far from the volcano.

After an asteroid supposedly wiped out the dinosaurs 65.5 million years ago, sulfur trioxide was blasted into the air.

When it hit the air, it turned into sulfuric acid, generating a downpour of acid rain, according to a paper published in 2014 in the journal Nature Geoscience.

Even before that, over 4 billion years ago, it is suspected that the air may have had 10,000 times as much carbon dioxide as today. Geologists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison backed up this theory be studying rocks and publishing the results in a 2008 issue of the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters. “At [those levels of carbon dioxide], you would have had vicious acid rain and intense greenhouse [effects]. That is a condition that will dissolve rocks,” said study team member John Valley. [Early Earth Marred

by Acid Rain] Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) released into the air by fossil-fuel power plants, vehicles and oil refineries are the biggest cause of acid rain today, according to the EPA. Two thirds of sulfur dioxide and one fourth of nitrogen oxide found in the atmosphere come from electric power generators.

A chemical reaction happens when

sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides mix with water, oxygen and other chemicals in the air. They then become sulfuric and nitric acids that mix with precipitation and fall to the ground. Precipitation is considered acidic when its pH level is about 5.2 or below, according to Encyclopedia Britannica. The normal pH of rain is around 5.6.

Effects: Acid rain affects nearly everything. Plants, soil, trees, buildings and even statues can be transformed by the precipitation.

Acid rain has been found to be very hard on trees. It weakens them by washing away the protective film on leaves, and it stunts growth. A paper released in the online version of the journal of Environmental Science and Technology in 2005 showed evidence of acid rain stunting tree growth.

“By providing the only preserved soil in the world collected before the acid rain era, the Russians helped our international team track tree growth for the first time with changes in soil from acid rain,” said Greg Lawrence, a U.S. Geological Survey scientist who headed the effort. “We’ve known that acid rain acidifies surface waters, but this is the first time we’ve been able to compare and track tree growth in forests that include soil changes due to acid rain.”

Acid rain can also change the composition of soil and bodies of water, making them uninhabitable for local animals and plants. For example, healthy lakes have a pH of 6.5 or higher. As acid rain raises the level of acidity, fish tend to die off.

Most fish species can’t survive a water pH of below 5. When the pH becomes a 4, the lake is considered dead, according to National Atmospheric Deposition Program.

It can additionally deteriorate limestone and marble buildings and monuments, like gravestones.

Solutions: There are several solutions to stopping manmade acid rain. Regulating the emissions coming from vehicles and buildings is an important step, according to the EPA. This can be done by restricting the use of fossil fuels and focusing on more sustainable energy sources such as solar and wind power.

Also, each person can do their part by reducing their vehicle use. Using public transportation, walking, riding a bike or carpooling is a good start, according to the EPA. People can also reduce their use of electricity, which is widely created with fossil fuels, or switch to a solar plan.

Many electricity companies offer solar packages to their customers that require no installation and low costs.

hired to deal CBI takes custody of journalist CBI chargesheets Farooq withPsychiatrists drug menace: Punjab CM Upendra Rai in extortion case Abdullah in J&KCA scam

Srinagar/New Delhi, Jul 16 (PTI): The CBI today filed a charge sheet against former J&K chief minister Farooq Abdullah and three others for allegedly misappropriating over Rs 43 crore from grants given by the BCCI to the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association for promoting cricket in the state between 2002 to 2011.

In its charge sheet filed in a special court here, the CBI alleged that Abdullah as the association president at that time had connived with the treasurer of JKCA and others for undue siphoning off and misappropriation of funds, a CBI spokesperson said in New Delhi.

The CBI has charged Abdullah and three others -- the then JKCA general secretary Md Saleem Khan and the then treasurer Ahsan Ahmad Mirza, as also J&K Bank executive Bashir Ahmad Misgar -- under Ranbir Penal Code provisions related to criminal conspiracy and criminal breach of trust.

Heavy rains lash parts of city New Delhi, Jul 16 (PTI): Heavy rains lashed parts of the national capital today leading to water logging on several roads and traffic jams at various intersections. The Safdarjung observatory, recording of which is considered official for the city, received 32 mm rainfall between 8.30 AM and 5.30 PM. Areas under Palam, Lodhi Road, Ridge and Ayanagar recorded 25.2 mm, 30.8 mm, 38.6 mm, 1.7mm rains respectively during the same period.

The maximum temperature was recorded at 34.1 degrees Celsius, a notch above the season’s average, while the minimum temperature settled at 28.8 degrees Celsius, two notches above the normal, said the official.

The humidity oscillated between 79 and 100 per cent.

The Meteorological office has forecast overcast skies along with light rains for tomorrow.

tional Conference said Farooq Abdullah has full faith in the judicial system and re-asserts his commitment to cooperate with the court’s proceedings in the matter relating to certain financial transactions of the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA).

“Pertinently, it is important to yet again highlight, it was Farooq Abdullah who sought the registration of an FIR relating to this matter in the first place. Dr Farooq Abdullah has led his life guided by the strictest principles of selfless public service and probity. He is certain that truth shall prevail,” the party said.

It said the party draws inspiration from Abdullah’s

resolve to fight earnestly for the truth to be upheld and continues to fully support him in this endeavour.

The agency, in a statement, said, “It was alleged that the BCCI had given Rs 112 crore (approx) to JKCA from the year 2002 to 2011 as grant for the promotion of the game of cricket in the State, out of which Rs 43.69 crore (approx) was siphoned off and misappropriated by the accused persons.”

The CBI had taken over the case from the state police in 2015 on orders of a division bench of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court.

The bench comprising the then Chief Justice N Paul Vasanthakumar and Justice Bansi Lal Bhat had pronounced the order on September 3, 2015, on a PIL filed by two cricketers -- Majid Yaqoob Dar and Nissar Ahmad Khan -- into the alleged scam.

As per reports, Abdullah in his response to the high court had refuted the allegations claiming that his name was being dragged to tarnish his political image.

Chandigarh, Jul 16 (PTI): In a bid to strengthen the anti-drug campaign, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh today directed officials to hire retired government psychiatrists to handle the increased inflow of patients at de-addiction centres.

Singh directed the officials to formulate strategies for ensuring security of drug addicts and their families coming to the de-addiction and rehabilitation centres,

and for a holistic media campaign to effectively spread awareness on drugs, according to an official statement issued here.

At a weekly review meeting of the Cabinet SubCommittee set up to monitor the anti-drug measures taken by various agencies, the chief minister asked the district authorities to crackdown on centres selling ‘Buprenophine - Naloxone’ in large quantities in violation of prescribed protocols.

New Delhi, July 16 (PTI): The CBI has taken the custody of journalist Upendra Rai in connection with a fresh case of alleged extortion and corruption, an official said.

The case, registered on May 5, in which he has been arrested recently, pertains to alleged extortion of Rs 15 crore from a builder in Mumbai.

Parties are of people not of Cong doing to Kumaraswamy what it did to Gowda: Jaitley any religion: Akhilesh Yadav Lucknow, Jul 16 (PTI): Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav today said that “parties are of people and not of any religion”, days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi attacked the Congress, saying it was a “party for Mulsim men only”.

Addressing his party workers here, Akhilesh also said he would embark on a cycle yatra in the state once the Lok Sabha election schedules are announced.

“The prime minister is saying that the Congress is a party of Muslim men. I want to say that parties are of people and not of any religion. BJP leaders are expert in telling lies. People are still waiting for Rs 15 lakh in their account,” he said.

In his address at Uttar Pradesh’s Azamgarh on Jul 14, PM Modi had came down heavily on the Congress over its stand on the issue of instant triple talaq, asking if it was a party for Muslim men alone.

“The real face of these parties was revealed by their approach on triple talaq.

Crores of Muslim women had always demanded that triple talaq should be banned as it is also banned in Islamic countries. When I read in the newspaper I found that the Congress president had said that Congress is a party of Muslims, and there has been discussion on this for the past two days. But I want to ask the Congress whether it is a party of Muslims men alone,” the PM had told the public meeting.

Stating that the Purvanchal Expressway was his government’s brainchild, Akhilesh said that his party men while embark on cycle yatra to remove misconceptions of the people and false propaganda of BJP who is “claiming credit” for it.

“I will take out a cycle yatra after the (Lok Sabha)

election is announced. The BJP has started election campaigning and the PM is also on a campaign trail.

The PM should tell when the elections is going to be held as he might be knowing it,” he said. On the SP-BSP tie up, Akhilesh said, “After the SP, BSP understanding, the PM’s body language has changed. I don’t hear his speech, but I see how he moves his hands during speeches,” he said, while welcoming youth workers who came at party headquarter here with “Dalit Yuva Chetan Cycle Yatra” from Allahabad Meanwhile, according to party sources, a cycle yatra - the Loktantra Bachao Samagra Kranti Cycle Yatra -- will be taken out by party workers from July 26 along the route of proposed Purvanchal Expressway from Ballia.

New Delhi, July 16 (PTI): Union Minister Arun Jaitley today accused Congress of driving Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy to desperation, saying it did the same to Charan Singh, Chandra Shekhar, H D Deve Gowda and I K Gujral when they were the prime ministers of governments backed by the party.

Taking a pot-shot at opposition’s effort to stich a “non-ideological opportunistic” alliance just to “Keep Modi Out”, Jaitley said in a hard-hitting Facebook post that India cannot afford to have ‘bechara’ (helpless) Prime Minister. He said that in the past few days, “we witnessed” Kumaraswamy baring his emotions with tears, wetting his eyes and declining to accept bouquets and garlands. Indicating a strain in ties with the Congress, Kumaraswamy recently said he was “not happy” as Karnataka Chief

Minister and was swallowing pain like Lord Shiva who drank poison.

He is Chief Minister of the coalition government, wherein Congress is a bigger party.

“He was candid enough to publicly state... Listening to these statements of an Honourable Chief Minister, my memory took me back to the dialogues of the tragedy era of Hindi cinema.

“If this is the consequence of a two party coalition, what is it that a disparate group of parties with no ideological similarity offer to India?”, Jaitley

said. He further said that non-ideological opportunistic coalitions always get trapped within their own contradictions.

Their only object is survival and not service of the nation, he said, added that longevity of such coalitions too is a suspect.

“If the Prime Minister of such a coalition has to weep before the cameras with an only wish of how to exit from office, it will be a scenario worse than the policy paralysis of UPA II,” Jaitley said in the blog, ‘Is the Karnataka a Preview of what the Congress and the Federal Front Promise for the Future?’.

“The Congress firmly believes that only members of one family can rule India. If anybody else gets a chance, he should be pushed to the desperation of throwing his hands up and weeping publicly,” he said. The country, he said, has been watching with keen interest

the developments in Karnataka in the past two months.

It is “a repeat of what the Congress did to Chaudhary Charan Singh, Shri Chandrasekhar, Shri H.D. Deve Gowda and Shri I.K. Gujral? It is the obvious consequence of a nonideological opportunistic alliance with no positive agenda. The basis of the negative agenda is ‘Keep Modi Out’”, he said.

Jailtey further wrote that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has clearly demonstrated the advantages of a decisive leadership.

“India’s Prime Minister and his Government has to overcome the challenges that India faces today. He cannot be seen like the Chief Minister of Karnataka as a tragedy king. “If such a coalition is a cup of poison, why even dream of inflicting it on the nation? The leader of the world’s fastest growing economy cannot be a ‘Bechara’,” Jaitley said.

Washington, Jul 16 (PTI): The International Monetary Fund Monday projected a growth rate of 7.3 per cent in 2018 and 7.5 per cent in 2019 for India as against 6.7 per cent in 2017, making it the fastest growing country among major economies.

However, the latest growth rate projection for India is slightly less -- 0.1 per cent in 2018 and 0.3 per cent in 2019 – than its April projections.

“India’s growth rate is expected to rise from 6.7 per cent in 2017 to 7.3 per cent in 2018 and 7.5 per cent in 2019, as drags from the currency exchange initiative and the introduction of the goods and services tax fade,” said the IMF’s latest World Economic Outlook (WEO) update. “The projection is 0.1 and 0.3 percentage points lower for 2018 and

The officials meet in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on July 21-22.

The FSB’s chair, Bank of England Government Mark Carney, has said that one reason virtual currencies do not pose a threat is that the total amounts traded are small in relation to the financial system. At their peak, combined global market value was less than 1 percent of annual world economic output. By comparison, credit default swaps - the contracts that helped spread losses through the financial system during the crisis of 2007-2009 - were 100 percent of global GDP. One challenge in assessing risks from virtual currencies, the report said, is the scarcity of reliable data on banks’ holdings of such assets.

FRANKFURT, Jul 16 (Agencies): An international forum on financial regulation say virtual currencies such as bitcoin do not currently pose a threat to global stability but require “vigilant monitoring” as the market is changing rapidly.

The Financial Stability Board added Monday that that the highly volatile currencies raise concerns about consumer and investor protection and that data on banks’ exposure to them remains scarce.

The board, based in Basel, Switzerland, outlined its efforts to grasp the possible impact of virtual currencies on the global banking system. That includes tracking the size of the sector to understand how widespread losses by investors could affect other activities.

“Open offer may or may not come about. The public share holding is very small. It is only about 5 per cent. And the pricing formula et cetera may not be attractive”.

New Delhi, Jul 16 (PTI): The LIC board gave approval to the insurance behemoth to acquire IDBI Bank by raising stake to 51 per cent via preferential shares, Economic Affairs Secretary S C Garg said Monday.

The debt laden bank will issue preferential shares to state-owned LIC to raise capital.

“Most likely that (preferential share allotment route) would be the way. The bank needs capital. They will issue preferential shares that should be the method,” said Garg, who is on the LIC board.

“The other one is that they can buy from the government but that does not provide capital to the IDBI Bank and therefore, that is the preferable mode to do it (acquire the bank),” he said after the meeting held here.

The next step for the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) is to approach markets regulator Sebi, as the bank, which is also state-owned, is a listed entity.

New Delhi, Jul 16 (PTI): Inflation based on wholesale prices accelerated to over 4-year high of 5.77% in June on increasing prices of vegetables and fuel items, raising chances of rate hike by the RBI in its monetary policy review next month.

The Wholesale Price Index (WPI) based inflation stood at 4.43% in May and 0.90% in June last year, as per the government data released today. Inflation is at the highest level since December 2013, when it was at 5.9%.

Retail inflation, which the Reserve Bank of India takes into account while formulating its monetary policy, had touched a 5-month high of 5% in June. It is based on Consumer Price Index (CPI). RBI targets to keep inflation at 4%, (+/2%), and its rise beyond this comfort zone will put pressure on the central bank to hike rates.

Mumbai, Jul 16 (PTI): The rupee retreated from a near two-week high and ended lower by 4 paise at 68.57 against the US currency, snapping a threesession recovery trend due to renewed dollar demand.

A combination of declining domestic macro stability and growing prospects of interest rate hike largely weighed on trade during the day.

The home currency, however, managed to survive the initial sharp volatility and uneasy momentum.

It initially plunged to hit a low of 68.72 in morning deals before recouping most its losses towards the tail-end.

Falling global crude prices predominantly provide some support to the rupee at lower levels, a forex dealer said.

Overall, forex market sentiment turned highly fragile after data showed inflation based on wholesale prices shot up to more than four-year high of 5.77 per cent in June even as expectations of another rate hike from the RBI rose further in its upcoming policy meet.

Trump, Putin tout reset in ties at summit

the Kremlin chief despite the election allegations, went into the summit blaming the “stupidity” of his predecessors for plunging ties to their present low.

Afterwards, both men were determined to accentuate the positive.

“Our relationship has never been worse than it is now. However, that changed as of about four hours ago.

I really believe that,” Trump said, vowing the summit was “only the beginning”.

remove some of the more problematic language.

But the Israel Democracy Institute, a nonpartisan think tank, said the bill still threatened to undermine Israel’s democratic values.

A vote on the bill, which is defined as a “basic law” with constitutional standing, is expected this week. If passed, it will likely face a Supreme Court challenge.

Israel’s 1948 declaration of independence outlined its nature as a Jewish and democratic state, a delicate balance the country has grappled to maintain for 70 years.

The bill, which has been bouncing around in various forms for years, looks to legislate the country’s core identity.

But Amir Fuchs, head of the Defending Democratic Values program at the Israel Democracy Institute, said it marked a withdrawal from Israel’s founding democratic principles. He warned that should it pass

Islamabad, Jul 16 (IANS): The death toll in the suicide attack targeting an election meeting in Pakistan has increased to 149, while the number of injured stands at 186, an official said on Monday.

The attack on Friday, claimed by the Islamic State (IS) terror group, is one of the worst in recent years in the country and adds to a series of attacks perpetrated against electoral events and candidates for the upcoming elections on July 25.

“The death toll has reached 149 including nine minors and the injured are 186,” Qaim Lashari, Deputy Commissioner of Mastung in Balochistan province, where the attack took place, told Efe news.

The attack took place when Siraj Raisani, a leader of the regional Balochistan Awami Party, was holding an electoral meeting in a market.

Raisani was seriously injured in the attack and died later in a hospital.

Musk slammed for calling Thai cave rescuer ‘Pedo’ San Francisco, Jul 16 (IANS): SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk was slammed on social media on Sunday for attacking a British diver who helped rescue the boys trapped in a flooded cave in Thailand, baselessly calling him a “pedo” on Twitter. Vern Unsworth, the British cave explorer, had said in an interview that Musk’s attempt to help the rescue effort with a “minisub” was a “PR stunt”.

Reacting to Unsworth, Musk tweeted on Sunday: “Sorry pedo guy, you really did ask for it”.

Twelve boys and their football coach were rescued from the Tham Luang cave complex last week by an international team after a week-long intense drama.

Musk offered to assist the rescue mission by providing a submarine but the request was turned down on the ground that it would be unworkable. He later lashed out saying that he would make a video proving that his “mini-sub” would have been successful, the Guardian reported. Musk’s controversial tweet was later deleted. Earlier, Unsworth took on Musk in a widelyshared interview, saying the “mini-sub” “just had absolutely no chance of working”.

it could hinder the power of the courts, harm minority rights and damage relations with the Jewish diaspora.

“The main goal is for the ‘Jewish’ element to take precedence over the ‘democratic’ element, to change the balance,” Fuchs explained. “It’s part of a national and nationalistic process.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israeli democratism will continue to maintain individual and minority rights. “But the majority also has rights and the majority decides,” he said at a recent event. “The vast majority wants to guarantee the Jewish nature of our country for generations.”

Netanyahu and Naftali Bennett, head of the nationalist Jewish Home party, reached a compromise agreement late Sunday to drop the bill’s most charged clause — allowing for the establishment of “separate communities” that critics derided as racist.

High-tech sleeve to read messages New York, Jul 16 (IANS): In what could be the next step of technological advancement, US researchers have a developed a new sleeve technique that can help learn and read messages through a sense of touch, an advance that would especially benefit people with hearing and visual impairment.

The haptic method of communications lets users receive messages through the skin on the forearm by learning to interpret signals such as a buzzing sensation.

“I’m excited about this... imagine a future where you’re able to wear a sleeve that discreetly sends messages to you -- through your skin -- in times when it may be inconvenient to look at a text message,” said lead researcher Hong Tan, Professor at the Purdue University in the US. “I’m really hoping this takes off as a general idea for a new way to communicate.

With this “the hearingimpaired, the visually-impaired, everyone can benefit”, Tan said.

In the study, presented at the Proceedings of EuroHaptics 2018 conference in Pisa, Italy, subjects used a material cuff encircling the forearm from the wrist to below the elbow. The instrument, wrapped around the

test subject’s non-dominant arm, featured 24 tactors that, when stimulated, emitted a vibration against the skin, changing quality and position in the process.

Tan noted that the 39 phonemes (units of sound in a language that distinguish one word from another) in the English language were mapped using signals from specific tactors.

The sounds of consonants such as K, P and T were stationary sensations on different areas of the arm while vowels were indicated

by stimulations that moved up, down or around the forearm.

Twelve subjects learned haptic symbols through the phoneme-based method at a schedule of 100 words in 100 minutes for the research, while 12 others learned using a word-based system with the haptic signals on their arm.

Using phonemes was more efficient compared to letters, noting there are less phonemes in a word compared with the number of letters, Tan said.

JERUSALEM, Jul 16 (Agencies): An Israeli parliamentary committee deliberated Monday on the final draft of a contentious legislation that would define Israel as the nationstate of the Jewish people.

The government says the bill will merely enshrine into law the country’s existing character. But critics say it excludes the country’s Arab minority, which makes up about 20 percent of Israel’s population.

Israelis opposed to the bill, deeming it discriminatory, have taken to the streets to protest in large numbers on Saturday in the capital Tel Aviv. The country’s ceremonial president from the ruling Likud party, Reuven Rivlin, who rarely delves into domestic politics, warned against clauses that appeared to encourage segregation and the downgrading in status of the Arabic language.

“But never, never use the name of God as a front to attack government because that is not the proper way to do it. There is a separation of state and church. Do not use God to attack me.

That is not proper and I’m sure that is not what God wants.”

Duterte met with the religious leaders to improve his strained relations with Asia’s largest Catholic Church Monday and Tuesday last week after Philippine Catholic bishops called for fasting and prayer.

Islamabad, Jul 16 (IANS): Former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif along with his daughter Maryam and her husband on Monday filed an appeal against a court’s verdict which sentenced them to lengthy prison terms over their ownership of properties in London.

An Accountability Court sentenced the former leader to a total of 11 years in prison and Maryam to eight years, reports Geo News. Nawaz’s son-in-law Capt (retd) Mohammad Safdar was given a one-year sentence. The appeal asks for the court’s July 6 verdict to be declared null and void and the three convicts to be released on bail.

Maryam’s legal counsel Amjad Pervaiz told the media that the court’s verdict in the Avenfield reference was not in compliance with law.

“The accountability court’s verdict is in contradiction with the law and declaring it void would serve justice,” Pervaiz said. “Our case is very strong and on merit.

We are right and we hope to get some relief.”

Myanmar’s peace conference with ethnic rebels ends Ban g ko k , J ul 1 6 (IANS): The third peace conference between Myanmar’s government and ethnic minority rebel groups ended on Monday in Naypyidaw with the approval of 14 agreements and plans to meet again this year and twice more in 2019, state broadcaster MITV reported.

Around 700 people were present at the conference, which began on July 17 and was attended by 17 of the 21 active ethnic rebel groups in the country, reports Efe news.

The third round of

the 21st Century Panglong Peace Conference, which was first held in 2016, approved 14 agreements, including four on politics, two on economy and two on environment.

The four political agreements, called “basic principles,” are related to the equality of gender, a quota for at least 30 percent female representation in every sector, preventing violence against women and improvements in women’s education. Thirty-seven other agreements had been approved in the

but agreed to be part of the dialogue this week.

After being governed by successive military regimes from 1962 to 2011, Myanmar witnessed a transition phase and an elected government led by Suu Kyi came to power in 2016.

The new government had initiated peace and reconciliation efforts after coming to power, but clashes with rebel groups and the crisis surrounding the Rohingyas, a mostly Muslim minority which is absent at the conference, have raised questions on the process.

The two leaders met one-on-one for more than two hours in the Finnish capital for the historic summit, with just their interpreters present, before they were joined by their national security teams.

Many in Washington were agog at Trump’s decision to sit alone with Putin, worried about what he might bargain away to the former KGB spymaster, after previously cosying up to the autocratic leaders of China and North Korea.

Indeed, some domestic critics wanted the Helsinki summit called off entirely, after the 12 Russians were indicted by Mueller under a long-running probe into Moscow’s alleged hacking of Democratic emails in a bid to drive Trump to victory. But Trump, convinced his unique brand of diplomacy could make inroads with Putin, pressed ahead and looked forward to “having an extraordinary relationship” as the pair sat down to discuss the global hotspots.

2018 end to be busy for ISRO with several rocket launches

Bourdain slammed Clintons in newly released interview T I n an interview, published more than a month after his death, Anthony Bourdain called for mer President Bill Clinton a “gropey, grabby disgusting” person and slammed the Clintons for how they handled the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

The celebrity chef and “Parts Unknown” host, who hanged himself in a French hotel in June, sat down with journalist Maria Bustillos from the magazine Popula before his death. The sit-down was published on Sunday.

Bourdain, one of the most outspoken supporters of the #MeToo movement, told the magazine it was shameful how the Clintons handled the scandal involving Lewinsky.

“Bill Clinton, look, the bimbo eruptions—it was f---ing monstrous. That would not have flown today,” Bourdain said about the scandal. “[Bill Clinton is] a piece of s---. Entitled, rapey, gropey, grabby, disgusting, and the way that he — and she [Hillary] — destroyed these women and the way that everyone went along, and, and are blind to this!”

Anthony Bourdain and Hillary Clinton.

The 61-year-old went on to say it was “unforgivable” the way the couple had shut down the accusers.

“The way they efficiently dismantled, destroyed, and shamelessly discredited these women for speaking their truth,” he said.

When asked if Clinton should have been kicked out of the office, Bourdain said no.

“I would look at this way. I would never under any circumstances vote for Bill Clinton today,” Bourdain told the magazine.

“But I think impeaching the guy over Lewinsky was ridiculous. Particularly given today.”

He added, “It was the shaming, discrediting, undermining the women that made both of them

unsuitable for any future endeavors. I don’t think they should’ve pulled him from office.”

Bourdain also said he was frustrated by Hillary Clinton’s reaction to the allegations against Harvey Weinstein, but when he tweeted as such, he said his words were twisted.

“I was really disappointed with the statement.

But even by expressing that, the way that my comment was turned, very neatly—suddenly I wasn’t expressing disappointment in her statement; I was blaming her for Harvey Weinstein’s crimes. The way that turned very nicely was a good bit of artistry and deeply frightening to me and really, really…” he said.

When speaking about Weinstein, the celebrity

chef detailed how he wants the film producer to die.

“My theory of how he goes is, uh, he’s brushing his teeth in a bathroom, he’s naked in his famous bathrobe, which is flapping open, he’s holding his cell phone in one hand because you never know who on the Weinstein board has betrayed him recently, and he’s brushing his teeth,” Bourdain said.

The TV host also spoke about his daughter Ariane, his relationship with girlfriend Asia Argento and how he would vote for Barack Obama despite finding him “very unconvincing in public.”

“Asia said this to me.

Children create themselves independently of us. All you can do is show, like in my case, my daughter feels loved. She knows she’s loved. She has good selfesteem. Very important,” Bourdain said.

Bourdain was found unresponsive on June 8 in the bathroom of a luxury hotel in the small town of Kaysersberg. He was in France working on an upcoming episode of “Parts Unknown.”

P

The Beatles icon is set to play three dates in Liverpool, Glasgow and London this December in support of his new album “Egypt Station”.

But as tickets went on sale at 10AM, fans claimed that they were completely unable to secure tickets.

Despite waiting patiently for the tickets to go on sale, they reportedly found that none were unavailable as soon as they accessed the purchase page.

Posting on Twitter, one fan raged: “Been waiting since 9.30 to get @PaulMcCartney tickets as soon as it turned 10am all tickets had gone.”

Vibe Tickets wrote: “Paul McCartney tickets went on sale at 10AM this morning, 3 dates Glasgow, Liverpool, London. Fans have been on Ticketmaster and AXS since 10, and are left empty-handed. The same old story! This has to change!”

“Again, @PaulMcCartney tickets sell out on @ TicketmasterUK within seconds, only to appear on Viagogo st 3x the price by 10.02am. Utter scam”, they wrote.

n what could be the next step of technological advancement, US researchers have a developed a new sleeve technique that can help learn and read messages through a sense of touch, an advance that would especially benefit people with hearing and visual impairment.

The haptic method of communications lets users receive messages through the skin on the forearm by learning to interpret signals such as a buzzing sensation.

“I’m excited about this... imagine a future where you’re able to wear a sleeve that discreetly sends messages to you -- through your skin -- in times when it may be inconvenient to look at a text message,” said lead researcher Hong Tan, Professor at the Purdue University in the US. “I’m really hoping this takes off as a general idea for a new way to communicate. With this “the hearing-impaired, the visually-impaired, everyone can benefit”, Tan said.

In the study, presented at the Proceedings of EuroHaptics 2018 conference in Pisa, Italy, subjects used a material cuff encircling the forearm from the wrist to below the elbow.

Israel sets up cybersecurity center to protect railways

I

srael has developed a cybersecurity center to protect its railway system, media reports said on Sunday.

The security center is created by Rafael, an Israeli government-owned defence technology company, Xinhua reported, quoting local media reports.

The company will provide Israel Railways corpo-

ration with a cybersecurity operations center (CSOC) located in the city of Lod in central Israel.

The CSOC, worth $8.25 million, will be operated by Israel Railways’ cyber unit.

According to data of the country’s rail authorities, about 10 million attempts to penetrate the train network are blocked

each month, including some aimed at collecting vital information, and inserting viruses and malware.

The CSOC will help monitor, control and protect the railway systems, as well as detect electronic penetration and attack attempts targeting the company.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, left, and Ultimate fighting star Conor McGregor.

U

FC star Conor McGregor came under fire Sunday after he called Russian President Vladimir Putin “one of the greatest leaders of our time.”

McGregor made the comments in an Instagram post, in which he said he was one of Putin’s guests to attend the World Cup final between France and Croatia.

“Today I was invited to the World Cup final as a guest of Russian President Vladimir Putin. This man is one of the greatest leaders of our time and I was honored to attend such a landmark event alongside him,” McGregor said. “To-

day was an honor for me Putin. Thank you and congratulations on an amazing World Cup.” McGregor’s high praise of Putin immediately drew criticism on social media.

“That’s a big yikes from me, dawg (sic),” one Twitter user wrote.

Another user likened McGregor to Dennis Rodman.

McGregor made a court apperance last month after he was charged with several crimes following an April bus attack. His next court appearance is set for July 26.

In the Alpine city of Annecy, some 350 miles east, a 50-year-old France fan broke his neck after jumping into a canal at

the end of the team’s 4-2 triumph over Croatia in Moscow on Sunday.

In nearby Saint-Felix, there was a second fan death when a man in his 30s was killed when his car crashed into a tree as he celebrated the win.

Such accidents were accompanied by baton charges

by CRS riot squads as tear gas was used to keep crowds in order.

“Rioting broke out soon after midnight as large crowds refused to disperse,” said a police source in Paris.

Shops including the Publicis Drugstore close to the Arc de Triomphe were ransacked. Windows were smashed and officers who intervened were attacked.

Videos shot at the scene saw units of CRS moving in, as hooligans wearing France shirts and black balaclavas attacked them.

As the trouble intensified, the authorities shut all transport links, including Metro services and other local trains.

Some 4,000 police and security forces had been deployed across the French capital in case of trouble following France’s first World Cup final appearance since 2006.

Indian pugilists win Lanumongla bags bronze at Bengaluru MMA Open C’ship 17 medals in Serbia Correspondent

Kohima, Jul 16 (NPN): Nagaland’s Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter Lanumongla Jamir bagged bronze medal at the 4th Bengaluru MMA Open Championship 2018 held from July 12 - 15.

India won 17 medals at the Golden Gloves Youth International Boxing Championship.

Subotica, Jul 16 (IANS): Indian youth pugilists took Serbia by storm when they struck 17 medals, including seven gold and six silver, the best haul in recent times at the 36th Golden Glove of Vojvodina here.

Of the seven gold, men accounted for four while three went the way of our women even as they shared three silver medals each.

As for bronze, the women boxers stepped up themselves to finish with three and their counterparts with a lone bronze.

Aman boxed his way to gold in the men’s heavyweight (+91kg) category with a 5-0 verdict against Hungarian Felfoldi Laszlo.

Barun Singh got a split verdict of 3-2 to grab the yellow metal against Serbian Joksimovic Laszlo in the light flyweight (49kg) class, Akash Kumar followed suit with a similar result against Argentine Mirco Jehiel Cuello in the bantamweight (56kg) category and Vijaydeep, too, followed the other two Indians in getting a 3-2 decision in the welterweight (69kg) division.

Ankit in the 60kg class was way off his rival in the final to finish with the silver, the Scotsman Reese Lynch out boxing him for a 4-1 judgment. Nitin narrowly missed gold in 75kg when his rival from Kazakhstan Assanov Azat won gold

after a 3-2 split verdict.

Aman was superb on the night and his Hungarian opponent was no match to the Indian. In every round Aman opened out and used his combination punches to stagger Felfoldi.

By the end of the second round it became more than clear who the winner was going to be.

However, it was not the case with both Barun, Akash and Vijaydeep as their rivals who were equally good. But then all the three Indians did well to keep their opponents at bay in the third round even as they landed a few hooks and punches which saw the judges give verdicts in their favaour.

Referee killed Croatia’s dream: Modric

Luka Modric

M o s c o w, J u l 1 6 (Agencies): Luka Modric has accused referee Nestor Pitana of killing Croatia’s World Cup dream.

T h e Re a l M a d r i d midfielder blames Pitana for their 4-2 defeat against France in the World Cup Final, insisting the first two goals came from the match official’s mistakes.

Pitana awarded a soft free kick that led to the first when Antoine Griezmann appeared to dive over Mar-

celo Brozovic’s challenge.

Mario Mandzukic headed the subsequent set piece into his own net to break the deadlock in the 18th minute.

Then when the score was 1-1, Pitana awarded a penalty for handball against Ivan Perisic on a VAR review. A clearly upset Modric said, “I think we were the better team. But sometimes better teams don’t win. The second goal was the turning point. Was I surprised the

penalty was given? Yes. We were surprised because for the first goal he (Pitana) gave a foul which wasn’t and they scored from that.”

“After that we recovered, we played well, we played the best football and he gives the penalty to them.

It kills you. It’s not easy to always come back and come back. We tried, we fought until the end but it wasn’t enough to win it.”

M o d r i c ’s d i s p l ay s throughout the past month led to him winning the Golden Ball award, an honour given to the best player at the tournament.

He added, “It’s not a big comfort because we lost in the end. Of course I am proud to receive this award.

But I wanted to win this trophy with Croatia, unfortunately it couldn’t happen.

Even though we lost, we need to enjoy this success because it is the biggest in Croatian football history and one of the biggest in Croatian sport overall.”

Modric turns 33 in September and yet he shows no sign of age as he continues to star for club and country.
