NEW DELHI, JUL 18 (AGENCIES): Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan on Wednesday accepted a no-confidence motion moved by Telegu Desam Par ty MP, K. Srinivas against the BJP-led NDA government.

The Speaker notified that the ‘no trust motion’ against four-year old Narendra Modi government will be taken up by the Lok Sabha for debate and voting on Friday (July 20).

Making the announcement in the post lunch session, Mahajan said as the no-confidence motion gets priority over other issues, the debate will commence at 11a.m. with no Question Hour on that day.

Earlier, immediately after the end of Question Hour, as soon as the motion was moved by TDP MP from Vijaywada, Srinivas, several opposition members including from Congress, Left parties and Trinamool Congress were up on their feet to support it.

Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge protested that as largest opposition party, the motion of no trust against the Modi government moved by Con-

gress party should have been accepted. The Speaker said, “I have gone by rules and the ruling of the Chair cannot be discussed here”.

A notice for a no-trust motion needs the support of at least 50 MPs. During the Zero Hour, Speaker named all members from the TDP, Congress and NCP among others, who had moved similar no- confidence motion notices.

“More than 50 members are supporting the motion, so the leave is granted (to bring in no-confidence motion),” Mahajan said while accepting the notices.

“The BJP and the NDA will face the no-confidence motion,” said Ananth Ku-

mar, parliamentary affairs minister. “We are hopeful that we will get support from parties outside NDA as well.

It is strange that opposition brings this motion despite the fact that the BJP got majority on its own and today NDA is ruling in 21 states,” Kumar told reporters.

Sources in the BJP said the government would get the support of at least 314 MPs in the lower house, which has an effective strength of 535 members.

M e a n w h i l e, U PA chairperson Sonia Gandhi refuted the view that the opposition does not have the numbers. When asked about the no-confidence motion brought by her party

among others, she retorted: “Who says we don’t have the numbers?”

In 2003, then leader of opposition Sonia Gandhi had moved a no-confidence motion against the BJP government of Atal Behari Vajpayee. The motion, moved ahead of elections in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Delhi, was defeated by a mile.

In 2008, the Congressled coalition faced a confidence vote - in which the government tests whether it still has enough numbers in parliament - after the Left pulled out support over the India-US nuclear deal.

To ensure numbers, both the ruling coalition and

Mokokchung to host first mini Hornbill Festival

Correspondent

MOKOKCHUNG, JUL 18 (NPN): Mokokchung will be the first district in the State to host the mini Hornbill Festival and which is being christened “Tsungremmong Hornbill Festival – Celebrating our Roots”. The festival will be held at Imkongmeren Sports Complex here from August 1 to 3 to coincide with the Ao pre-harvest festival of Tsungremmong.

Deputy Commissioner Mokokchung Sachin Jaiswal made the announcement a press conference here on Wednesday. He said the three-day event would primarily focus on the cultural aspect with cultural troupes from all six ranges of the district taking part in it. Other tribes to participate include Sangtam and Sumi cultural troupes he added According to the DC, the main programme would held be on the second day where chief minister Neiphiu Rio, deputy chief minister Y Patton and a host of ministers and

MLAs are expected to attend. Two Central ministers are also expected to attend the event, he added.

Jaiswal informed the media that formal invitations would also be sent to DCs and SPs of Jorhat and Sivasagar districts of Assam seeking their attendance at the cultural extravaganza, besides confirming that two cultural troupes from Assam would perform at the main programme on the second day.

The DC said apex tribal bodies like Ao Senden, Watsu Mungdang, AKM, etc, would be conducting events like tug of war competition among all the wards of Mokokchung, indigenous games, cooking competition, six-a-side barefoot football competition, dance competition, Ao song singing competition, motorsports, showcasing of Ao traditional attires and ornaments, etc.

The decision to hold ‘Mini Hornbill Festivals’ coinciding with festivals of every tribe in all 11 districts stemmed from suggestions not to concentrate all events of the Hornbill Festival only in Kohima.

the opposition summoned MPs who were unwell or even in prison. The government won by 19 votes.

The BJP-led coalition faced a no-confidence vote in 1999 after J Jayalalithaa’s AIADMK withdrew support. The Vajpayee government lost by one vote, the narrowest margin ever in the history of parliament.

Meanwhile, before the Question Hour commenced, four new members took oath and Mahajan read out obituaries of three former members. KM Yashwantrao (NCP), Gavit Rajendra Dhedya (BJP), Tokheho Yepthomi (NDPP) and Tabassum Begum (RLD) took oath as members.

The officers were selected when Rakesh Paul was the APSC chair(Cont’d on p-4) man.

Land should be available for roads: Gadkari to state team DIMAPUR, JUL 18 (NPN): Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Shipping Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation, Nitin Gadkari, strongly suggested that land should be made available for development of roads and there should not be any hindrance to developmental activities.

According to a press release by PRO Nagaland House, New Delhi, Gadkari said this in a discussion with a state delegation led by PWD minister Tongpang Ozukum at Transport Bhawan, New Delhi on July 17.

The others included minister Temjen Imna Along, adviser- H. Khehovi Yepthomi and PDA chairman Chingwang Konyak.

The delegation held a thorough deliberation on issues regarding the improvement and up-gradation of the deplorable roads in the state with the union minister, PRO said.

Attention of the union minister was also drawn towards the urgent need for rehabilitation of old and weak bridges in the state.

Ozukum and his team

also reminded the union minister about the construction of the 2 lane TransNagaland Highway (Foothill Road) to be taken up in phases, about which the Prime Minister and minister in-charge of MoRTH had been apprised about by chief minister, Neiphiu Rio and deputy chief minister, Y. Patton before.

After a patient hearing, PRO said Gadkari responded positively and said that his ministry was willing to extend all help but he also stated that acquisition of land should be the look out of the state government.

It may be recalled that Nitin Gadkari on June 13 last had assured a delegation

led by Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio, that the Centre would be declaring more National Highways (NHs) in the state and asked the state government to expedite implementation of the ongoing projects.

He also asked the state to submit a list of important roads in the State to the Centre. Gadkari had further informed the delegation that he would be visiting the state to review the ongoing road projects.

While urging Gadkari to declare more roads as NHs, Neiphiu Rio had requested Centre to give top priority to road development in different parts of the state as well.

NH terms Manipur CM statement ‘nonsensical’ DIMAPUR, JUL 18 (NPN): Naga Hoho (NH) has termed the recent purported warning

by Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh of taking extreme steps if Naga deal hurt Manipur’s interest as “nonsensical”, even as it appealed to both the chief minister and Meiteis to exercise restraint while dealing with the sensitive issue.

In a statement, NH president P Chuba Ozukum and assembly secretary K Elu Ndang remarked that they had refrained from reacting to various interviews and press statements of different civil society organisations of Manipur against the ongoing Naga peace process as they believed in brotherhood. However, they said they were perturbed to read the statement of Singh published in the media.

NH pointed out that the hoho had time and again clarified that Nagas would never grab anyone’s land, but cautioned that they would never

compromise with or allow any force on earth either to take away “what is ours”. NH recalled that it was taken into cognisance and agreed by both the Centre and Naga people that violence and armed struggle had no place in today’s global context and therefore the ceasefire was agreed upon and Framework Agreement signed between both the parties to peacefully resolve the Naga political issue.

NH said it firmly believed that the settlement would definitely usher in peaceful atmosphere in the entire North Eastern region and help develop the region on a par with rest of the world. It was now left to the wisdom of Indian leadership and Naga political negotiators to decide what was best for both and the future of the Nagas, the statement added.

Against this backdrop, NH appealed to Metei brothers and sisters to understand and not to hurt the sentiments

NEW DELHI, JUL 18 (AGENCIES): As the process of deportation of foreigners remains a very slow one, a proposal to strip the persons declared as foreigners of their citizenship and providing them with biometric long term work permits is under serious consideration of the Centre. At the same time, the Government is examining the feasibility of using all available technology to improve guarding of the international border to check fresh infiltration.

Talking to The Assam Tribune, highly placed sources in the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said here that deportation of the persons declared as foreigners by the Foreigners’ Tribunals is a very slow process as the Government of Bangladesh need to accept them as its citizens.

of Nagas and their political rights as both the communities would remain neighbours forever, adding that the Nagas were willing and open to maintain cordial relationship for all generations to come.

Reminding both New Delhi and BJP leaderships that the Nagas wanted to have political solution before the Assembly election, the hoho regretted that the polls were nonetheless held against the wishes of the people in February this year. Admitting that there would be various obstacles and hiccups before a final solution to the vexed Naga political issue was arrived at, the apex tribal however urged the Centre not to shy away from its agreed principle to take up the issue urgently during the ensuing Monsoon Session of Parliament.

It also urged Centre to make use of the opportune time and come to a logical conclusion at the earliest to the protracted Naga issue.

Cong asks PDA govt to deliver on promise DIMAPUR, JUL 18 (NPN): Reminding the PDA government of its election manifesto that promised “change is coming”, Dimapur District Congress Committee (DDCC) Wednesday demanded that the government live up to the expectations of the people who voted them to the power and fulfil the election manifesto.

Pointing out that what was promised and the present scenario was quite the opposite, DDCC president, Bendang, said the condition of roads and bridges was worse. He said most of the bridges have either collapsed or were on the verge of collapsing. Bendang also said that roads connecting to various districts and sub-divisions were also in a very pathetic condition.

He said some roads that were constructed could not face the monsoon and have

already been washed away.

DDCC said people were facing the worst nightmare in the absence of proper bridges and narrow roads. Congress stated that only potholes were being filled instead of proper road construction.

When new government comes, DDCC said people expect development in the form of proper roads and bridges, sanitation, educational institutes, new jobs, set up of new industries etc.

However, Congress said it was quite strange that the people in Nagaland were still quiet and lacked the spine to raise their voices.

Citing an example, DDCC said development in neighbouring states has reached new heights. “Even a bordering state like Arunachal Pradesh has also left behind Nagaland in terms of development,” said Bendang.

Noida building collapse: 5 dead reported

Noida (UP), Jul 18 (PTI): At least five people were killed and several feared trapped under the rubble of two adjacent buildings which collapsed in Greater Noida on the outskirts of the national capital, officials said today.

A six-floor under-construction building crashed on a five-storey building next to it, bringing it down as well, in Shahberi village under Bisrakh police station last night.

At least 12 labourers were in the under-construction building and all of them are feared trapped, Chief Fire Officer (CFO) Arun Kumar Singh said.

Two bodies were pulled out of the rubble late last night and another removed this morning as the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), the fire department and the police mounted a rescue operation.

This evening, about 20 hours after the buildings collapsed, two more bodies were brought out.

Rescuers de ployed heavy machinery to shift concrete slabs and sniffer dogs tried to detect any signs of life.

A crowd of people hung around the mishap site, including some who believed their relatives were trapped under the debris.

NDRF and local authorities carry out rescue work at the site of a collapsed building at Shahberi village, in Greater Noida West on Wednesday. (PTI) Local politicians and media teams thronged the area as NDRF personnel asked people to keep away.

Those involved in the rescue operations were facing difficulties because of the narrow lanes in the area and the huge crowd, the CFO said.

Three of the victims have been identified as Ranjit, Shamshad and Priyanka.

Three members of Priyanka’s family are still trapped, the fire chief said.

The police have arrested three people, including the landowner, Meerut zone Inspector General Ram Kumar said. The FIR mentioned 18 people who

may face a case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder.

Gautam Budh Nagar District Magistrate Brajesh Narayan Singh has also ordered an investigation.

“Additional District Magistrate (Administration) Kumar Vineet has been asked to carry out the probe. He will submit his report within 15 days,” his order said.

Drills were being used in an attempt to reach those who may be trapped under the debris..

NDRF Director General Sanjay Kumar also took stock of the rescue operations. He said the rescuers

were exercising caution while operating the machines so that those trapped under the debris are not harmed.

This was leading to the delay, he told PTI. Kumar said the rescue operations were expected to be over by tomorrow.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has directed the Gautam Budh Nagar DM to monitor the relief and rescue operations.

Director General of Police (DGP) O P Singh briefed him about the operations.

A state government statement said the magis-

terial probe will find out whether the buildings were under the jurisdiction of the Greater Noida Development Authority and if a no-objection certificate (NOC) was obtained before the construction began.

It will also determine if the quality of the building material was up to the mark and the construction workers were registered in accordance with the labour laws.

The DM in his order said the probe will also focus on whether the Greater Noida authority had taken any concrete steps to stop illegal construction in the area.

In a press statement, the Greater Noida authority CEO Parth Sarthi Sen Sharma said Shahberi is a “notified village” under phase-1 of Greater Noida.

But the notification related to acquisition of land there was cancelled by a Supreme Court order in May 2011, he said.

Those arrested are landowner Gangashankar Dwivedi and two others identified as Dinesh and Sanjay.

The police registered an FIR under IPC sections 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) and 288 (negligent conduct related to the repair of buildings).

Squadron Leader Meet Kumar, who was flying the Russian origin MiG-21 Bis aircraft died in the accident, he said, adding a Court of Inquiry (COI) has been ordered into it.

Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman expressed “deep grief ” over death of the pilot.

“Our heartfelt condolences to the family of brave pilot Sqn Ldr Meet Kumar, who we lost in the fateful crash,” she said.

Kangra’s Superintendent of Police Santosh Patial said the aircraft crashed in Mehra Palli village under Jawali police station.

Deputy Commissioner Sandeep Kumar, quoting eyewitnesses, said the pilot appeared to have ensured that no harm was caused to the civilian population by steering the aircraft away from the area.

“He steered the aircraft towards the fields before it crashed to save the

Debris after an MiG-21 fighter jet crash, killing an Indian Air Force pilot, in Kangra on Wednesday. (PTI) civilians and lost his life in the process,” he added.

Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur also expressed grief over the death of the pilot.

The MiG-21 jets were inducted into IAF over four decades back and many of these planes were lost in crashes.

Currently the IAF has only one squadron (18 aircraft) of the variant which the force is planning to retire in the next one-andhalf to two years.

The IAF has been grappling with rising incidents of accidents involving its flying platforms.

Replying to a question on incidents of air crash, Minister of State for Defence Subhash Bhamre told the Lok Sabha that a total of 25 accidents involving

IAF aircraft were reported since 2015-16.

According to data provided by him, a total of 39 people died in the accidents and that IAF lost all the aircraft involved in the crashes.

He said there were five accidents involving aircraft of the Army during the period in which four people were killed.

On June 5, an air commodore of the IAF died when the Jaguar fighter jet he was piloting crashed in Gujarat’s Kutch district.

Two IAF pilots were killed in a crash of a microlight aircraft in Assam’s Majuli on February 15.

A Mi-17 helicopter of the IAF had crashed near Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh on October 6 last year, killing seven military personnel on board.

Tharoor blames right-wing activists for attacks Govt introduces bill to check ponzi scams

Shashi Tharoor destroy the idea of India as a pluralistic and accepting democracy,” Tharoor said.

He further said that even Swami Agvinesh was attacked for expressing dissent against rising intolerance.

“We cannot and should not stand by as communal violence, mob-lynching and hooliganism replace rule of law and rights guaranteed by our Constitution.

“I strongly urge the Prime Minister to break his silence on the behaviour of his own party men and take

action against these antinational elements and antiIndian elements who seek to abridge the freedom of speech in our democracy,” Tharoor said.

His remarks drew sharp reaction from the Treasury benches with Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar saying that the law and order situation has to be dealt by the state government.

“There is a state-organised terror...in Kerala,” Kumar said, adding the allegations that attack was carried out by right-wing activists are baseless and far from truth.

Heated exchanges ensued when Kumar said the attack was “state-sponsored” and was countered by members of Congress and the Left parties, leading Deputy Speaker Thambidurai, who was on Chair, to expunge the names of the parties they have blamed from the records.

Thambidurai said the entire House was concerned

SC says women have the right to enter Sabarimala temple New Delhi, Jul 18 (PTI): The Supreme Court today said women have the constitutional right to enter Sabarimala temple in Kerala and pray like men without being discriminated against.

A five-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra, which is hearing a petition challenging the decision of the Devaswom board banning entry of women of age group 10-50 years, said that even if there was no law, the women cannot be discriminated against with regard to offering prayer in a temple.

“When a man can enter, a woman can also go. What applies to a man, applies to a woman also,” the bench also comprising justices R F Nariman, A M Khanwilkar, D Y Chandrachud and Indu Malhotra observed.

“The right to enter a temple is not dependent on a legislation. It is the constitutional right,” the bench said, adding that this right is enshrined under Article 25 and 26 of the Constitution.

The top court was informed by the Kerala govt that it also supported the

entry of women of all age groups in the temple.

The bench then referred to the contrary affidavits of the Kerala government which had in 2015 had supported the entry of women but made a U-turn in 2017 and opposed the entry.

The counsel for the Kerala government said that it would go by its first affidavit and support the cause of women.

“You are changing with the changing times,” the bench remarked Senior advocate Indira Jaising, appearing for one of the intervenors, assailed the practice and said that the ban on the entry of women of certain age groups was violative of various fundamental rights including Article 17 which deals with untouchability.

She also referred to the definition of term Hindu under various statutes and said that the women were discriminated against not on the ground of sex but because of menstruation.

changing its stand on the contentious issue of women of a particular age group entering the Sabarimala temple, today told the Supreme Court that it now favours their entry.

The then Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) government had filed an affidavit in 2015 in the apex court supporting the entry of women of all age group inside the temple.

Later the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government, in 2017, made the U-turn opposed the entry of women.

“The state government supports the entry of women. The state is not opposing,” senior advocate Jaideep Gupta told the bench which also comprised justices R F Nariman, A M Khanwilkar, D Y Chandrachud and Indu Malhotra.

“You (state) are changing your stand again,” the bench said.

Trump’s Russian roulette

U

S President Donald Trump seem destined to complete his four-year term( if that’s not impossible) with daily attacks by a hostile mainstream American media as well as liberals at home and abroad. His recent visit to Finland where he also met with Russian strongman Vladimir Putin and held a joint press conference, has only strengthened the vitriolic attacks against him. This time Trump was crucified at home for not being seen to be what a US president was supposed to be- standing up and being less conciliatory to the Russians. The US media and hawks nurse their anti-Soviet/Russian constituency as it pays them dividends. Trump met with Putin one-on-one for more than two hours and in a session with aides present. In the joint appearance after their summit, Trump downplayed the assessment of the U.S. intelligence community that Moscow mounted an effort to help him win the presidency in 2016, blasted the American news media, bashed the FBI and the special counsel investigation into Russian election meddling, and suggested that Putin was more credible than his own director of national intelligence, who has accused Russia of mounting an “unprecedented influence campaign” in 2016.

Trump had always maintained a less aggressive stance over the alleged Russian involvement in the 2016 US presidential elections by wire tapping and using social media to trash Hillary Clinton. What he said in Helsinki at the summit with Putin was no different. At home the rabid anti-Trump media, the Democrats and Liberals however, saw things in a different way because he appeared to be trying to shield the Russians and attacking his own agency.

The media at home maintained that Trump proved not only unable, but unwilling to stand up to Putin.

The critics went on to accuse Trump of speaking from the same script as Putin.They saw Trump as being more inclined to give a huge benefit of doubt to the Russians. Trump’s failure to publicly pressure Putin on election interference drew harsh rebukes from veteran administration officials and lawmakers in both parties. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who often advises the Trump administration, said the president should “clarify” his remarks about the U.S. intelligence community and Putin. He described the Trump’s remarks as “the most serious mistake of his presidency and must be corrected- immediately”. Putin, at the news conference, emphasized the leaders’ efforts to work together but sought to tamp down the notion that they held a strong bond. He scoffed at reports that both he and Trump were getting alone famously by maintaining that both did have common interest and only looking for points of contact. Putin was also asked whether he had compromising material on Trump or his family, a reference to unsubstantiated allegations, which U.S. intelligence agencies shared with the president-elect last year, that the Kremlin possessed such material. In response, Putin laughed but didn’t answer the question.

Trump has followed a totally different policy vis-avis Russia and traditionally US western allies. He is moving away from the EC, Group of Seven, the UN and NATO but willing to go closer to Russia.

All these including the Russian meddling issue is certainly going to isolate the US more than Trump, from the global fora.

DailyDevotion The Mystery of Believing He said, “Who are You, Lord?” —Acts 9:5 Through the miracle of redemption, Saul of Tarsus was instantly changed from a strong-willed and forceful Pharisee into a humble and devoted bondservant of the Lord Jesus.

There is nothing miraculous or mysterious about the things we can explain. We control what we are able to explain, consequently it is only natural to seek an explanation for everything. It is not natural to obey, yet it is not necessarily sinful to disobey.

There can be no real disobedience, nor any moral virtue in obedience, unless a person recognizes the higher authority of the one giving the orders. If this recognition does not exist, even the one giving the orders may view the other person’s disobedience as freedom. If one rules another by saying, “You must do this,” and, “You will do that,” he breaks the human spirit, making it unfit for God. A person is simply a slave for obeying, unless behind his obedience is the recognition of a holy God. Many people begin coming to God once they stop being religious, because there is only one master of the human heart— Jesus Christ, not religion. But “Woe is me” if after seeing Him I still will not obey (Isaiah 6:5 , also see Isaiah 6:1). Jesus will never insist that I obey, but if I don’t,I have already begun to sign the death certificate of the Son of God in my soul. When I stand face to face with Jesus Christ and say, “I will not obey,” He will never insist. But when I do this, I am backing away from the recreating power of His redemption. It makes no difference to God’s grace what an abomination I am, if I will only come to the light. But “Woe is me” if I refuse the light (see John 3:19-21).

Post-mortem

Conscientious search Fair probe demand on Missionaries of Charity ‘Trafficking’ for job oriented education

N

o criminal intention is made out hence FIR appears motivated. Judicial enquiry required for a fair investigation.

The case in question is the ridiculous taunt by the media as ‘trafficking’, is about a childless couple from UP having paid 1.20 Lacs for the child. The facts emerging from the investigation so far is that the maid working for the Missionaries of Charity pocketed Rs.20000,the watchman Rs.10000 and the unwed biological mother of the child Rs.90000 to pursue her studies !! Where is the criminality and the criminal intentions of the Nuns of the Missionaries of Charity in all this?? The worst maximum charge against them is that they should be reprimanded for administrative lapse for not being vigilant enough.

Does the media know that the Government of India permits the charging of Rs.40000 as fee for an adoption in India and 5000 US Dollars for a foreign adoption?

Despite these rules permitting them to charge, the Missionaries of Charity have not charged a rupee from anyone at any of their adoption centres in the country so far as it goes against their very values and ethos. In the Mumbai Centre alone they have given over 7500 children for adoption in the last few decades but not a single rupee has been collected. And today for the past 10 days they have been falsely accused of ”child trafficking” .

Additionally, the word trafficking does not fit into this context since the children have not been sold for exploitation in any way, but only as a facilitation for adoption by the Missionaries of Charity. At the most, the sisters are probably guilty of naivety and for over trusting the people they employed and nothing more, neither in criminal law or otherwise. Hence it is absolutely ridiculous and shameful to falsely charge the nuns of the Missionaries of Charity in Jharkhand with child trafficking an act which negates their raison d’être.

It is a settled rule of criminal

law that no statement given to a police officer can be used in a court of law except when such statements are given in the presence of a magistrate. In the present instance, the police are doing everything they can to garner media attention and create an atmosphere of hatred and even releasing confessions made in Police custody to select TV channels.

It is ironic that in today’s media driven world, confessions that have no sanctity of law are being aired on media channels. It is no secret that in the case involving a high profile school in Gurgaon where a student was murdered, the driver was arrested and his statement in police custody was used to brand him guilty of murder only for the police to eat humble pie later. In the present circumstances, the police is playing to the gallery and in order to satisfy the media’s baying for their blood. However, any prudent person will see that the local state police is not fit to investigate the matter. A judicial probe is needed in the present case to further the cause of justice.

If time proves that the Missionaries of Charity are not guilty, will there be any action against the police and the conspirators ?

Hence this is a very big blot to the conscience of the nation when baseless and false criminal charges are used as an excuse to accuse and arrest the nuns for committing an act which is clearly against the moral and ethical convictions of the Missionaries of Charity. Their service to the nation is well known through their facilities around the country and worldwide.

The Missionaries of Charity is no doubt recognised internationally as the epitome of providing solace and comfort to suffering humanity, resulting in Mother Teresa honoured with the Nobel Prize for her purely altruistic and benevolent humanitarian acts.

It is highly grievous to witness such a multitude of injustice that is being inflicted on those nuns of our nation who had sought an oath in life to serve humanity. These are

A new material capable of the adsorption of organic pollutants in water

T

he appearance of criteria and emerging pollutants in water is a modern theme that has caused the scientific community to research new solutions and alternatives. Along these lines, a group of University of Seville scientists has recently shown the effectiveness of two new absorbent materials capable of eliminating organic pollutants in solution in less than 24 hours.

Specifically, they have evaluated two types of phyllosilicates: a highly-charged expandable synthetic mica (Na-Mica-4), and one obtained from cation exchange with an organo-functionalized mica (C18-Mica-4). Phyllosilicates are a subclass of silicates and include common mineral in very different environments.

The results show that the material C18-Mica-4 is capable of eliminating the majority of pollutants that were evaluated in urban waste water, as well as surface water and potable water. The study, also, provides data on the adsorption mechanism and establishes a significant correlation between the physical chemical properties of the selected criteria and emerging pollutants and the adsorption to the material.

In total, 18 organic pollutants were studied, among which were industrial pollutants, personal care products, and the pharmacological active ingredients such as anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, anti-epileptics, central nervous system stimulants and lipid-lowering agents, among others.

Within the industrial pollutants, several compounds frequently used as cleaning products were analysed, as well as others used as waterand oil-repellents. With the personal care products, two synthetic preservatives were analysed (methylparaben and propylparaben), both widely used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.

Lastly, nine active pharmacological ingredients were also tested (diclofenac, ibuprofen, salicylic acid, trimpethoprim, carbamazepine, propranolol, caffeine, clofibric acid and gemfibrozil). Taken to achieve different therapeutic effects, these all end up polluting our waters, essentially, via human excretion.

The study was carried out on untreated urban waste water, treated urban waste water, surface water from rivers and potable water.

“Studies like this, and others in the same line, are showing the potential of certain adsorbent materials for use in the industrial treatment of water affected by different types of pollution. Obtaining universal materials with a high elimination capacity and which can be used for a wide range of pollutants is the main goal in this area of investigation,” said the University of Seville professor Esteban Alonso, head of the research project.

The following steps in this line of research will be: the evaluation of these materials in the elimination of other families of water pollutants, their application on an industrial scale, and, in parallel, the improvement of the functionality of the material itself.

those very people we are accusing of trafficking have genuinely and sacrificially dedicated their heart and soul into leading a benevolent and a compassionate life for our children, for us and for our nation.

It is unimaginable to accuse them of something heinous like trafficking of children and babies. They have devoted their life to save the downtrodden sections of our society notably lepers and the marginalised which our very own society ostracise on many social levels. Instead of encouraging these voluntary organisations to holistically carry forth their solicitous and considerate pursuits: We have been falsely accusing them of committing despicable acts which indeed is detrimental to our society’s larger welfare and interests. It is a shame that these selfless wonderful human beings who are here to serve humanity are under the radar of false accusations and allegations.

These are those nuns who have submitted their entire life to the utmost welfare of our nation yet we as a society have failed to recognise their sacrifices, their compassion and their humane demeanour. All I intend to ask everyone who seeks to believe in such allegations: Is this what philanthropic and altruistic people of our nation deserve in return for their humanitarian perspectives and endeavours? These accusations are not a question on their morality, but these are questions for us, on our collective conscience as a society and nation who have failed to recognise the simplicity of their benevolent outlook and life.

The Judiciary should therefore immediately take suo moto cognisance of the matter to safeguard the nuns from victimisation engineered by malicious motives to bring the admirable work of Missionaries of Charity to shame and disrepute both at home and abroad.

If the Missionaries of Charity are guilty, punish them, but if not, do not hound them.

T

he dilemma of twenty first century is that inspite of having innumerable educational institutions in the forms of schools, colleges and universities to day, the real purpose of education has not kept pace with the technological changes. The reason for this malaise are not far to seek. Though education in India has grown manifold since independence, still we follow to a great extent the system of education based upon the absolute and effete ideas of Macaulay who opined that Indians should be so educated so as to enable them to become merely clerks, though white-collared, in government offices, but in thought, outlook and in mind they should be English. It is frightening to note that our universities are still functioning on old and outdated lines, and thus producing clerks in large numbers.

The need to foster technical education in a country like ours which is still on the threshold of progress, must be given paramount importance so as to put the country on the pace of progress, rapid development and fast industrialisation.

Now the question is whether industrialisation and advanced technology will get rid this country of all the evils and the obstinate ills like increasing unemployment. The leaders of our country has to ponder over the issue of unemployment which is the burning question of the day. The technical education which seems apparently the best way of providing the youths with weapons with which they could fight against unemployment, can’t do it by itself, until and unless new employment opportunities are created by establishing and developing small-scale industries in large numbers where thousands of people can get employment. Unlike most higher education courses that provide degrees with no specific specialisation in a trade, vocational courses train students for a particular trade. But in our country, a three year degree course has always been more valued and respected than the short term job oriented courses. As a result, there is a mismatch between the skills required for the job and the skills possessed by the candidates, causing a large number of unem-

ployed graduates in the country.

More institutes and universities for vocational training and centres of technical education/colleges should come up and vocational subjects should be made a part of the higher education degrees. At the same time, the society should shun its biased views against these courses and realise the need to have professional courses in this technology-dependent era. An unhappy trend, however, is being introduced in the field of technical education. Statistics show that even in the field of engineering, unemployment, under-employment and insecure employment has started growing. This certainly argues ill for our young engineers. To worsen things, it may be noted, an engineer or a mechanic cannot fit in any other profession in which he has not specialised. Adjustment in such cases becomes more difficult. So a stricter screening is necessary while admitting students in the technical and vocational institutions. Admission should always be related to likely requirements and final absorption in the society. Now a days we find vocation is quite a knotty problem. The openings are so many, but opportunities are so few. Almost every profession is over-crowded. Moreover, the study of law, medicine, engineering, architecture, hotel management, tourism and so on are very expensivebeyond the reach of weaker section of people. So the purse of the parents is an important factor in picking up a career. In modern social setting the choice of profession is very difficult.

Every young boy and girl is faced with such a problem. A wrong choice may lead a youngster wretchedness and misery.

In fine, we can sum up that vocational and technical educations prepare us for earning our living.

Whereas, literary education or the humanities aim at attaching the educands with the art of humanitarianism. One primarily deals with the mind and faculties, the other with the mental activities and only with that part of the brain specially called for them.

Some lessons from watching FIFA World Cup matches

(From previous issue) 9. Just as we shout, jump, dance and go hysteria when our supporting team scores goals or wins the match troubling even our neighbours’ sleep…

- How good would it be if we celebrate in equal enthusiasm when God’s works are accomplished/fulfilled, clapping, jumping and saying “Hallelujah” so that even our “sleeping” neighbours would hear our joy?

How much would Satan be shamed and tamed when we do like that!

10. Just as we don’t regret even when our works are left undone or even when our health fails by watching uninterrupted World Cup matches on successive nights…

- How good would it be if we all were earnestly working for our own salvation day in and day out even sacrificing our health and wealth?

11. Just as we spend hours without regret talking about how good the teams played last night, how majestic goals were scored by our favourite players or criticizing how the teams played poorly…

- How good would it be if each one of us spoke everywhere about the inexhaustible goodness of “The Salvation Story” wrought by our Lord Jesus for us? How good would it be if all of us were excited to talk about Jesus with everyone at any time in any place!

12. Just as we curse, spit at and malign those players (even pointing at or touching on the TV screen) who deceitfully push or cause injury to our favourite players like Messi, Ronaldo or Neymar as if they can hear us saying “Be Careful!” or know what we do to them…

- Likewise how beautiful would it be if we could curse and threaten Satan face to face courageously when he brings evil things or does harm to our beloved ones – our spouses, children, parents, siblings, fellow-believers, etc.? Satan would have fled to a faraway place if only we could do that!

13. Just as we unconsciously jump, clap and shout in joy when our supporting team wins…

- How good would it be if our lives are filled with unspeakable joy of salvation that humming and singing became our habit? How good would it be if all of us were not ashamed to clap hands in joy to the Lord while singing, especially while singing Revival songs? How much would God be pleased with you and me and bless us if only we could do it!

14. Just as we get frustrated with our supporting team/players when they are unable to perform well and we start to malign, blaspheme and pass aspersive comments on them…

- Likewise how strong our faith in God would have been if we get frustrated with ourselves and scold ourselves when

we fail to live up to God’s expectations from us?

15. Just as we get impatient with the clock waiting for it to tick at 7:30/11:30 P.M. during World Cup days…

- How good would it be if the believers longed with excitement to do God’s work or got impatient for Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday or Sunday to arrive so that they could hurry for worship?

16. Just as we aren’t worried for money to buy flags of our respective supporting nations and unabashedly hoisting them in front of our homes and carry them along proudly in our vehicles…

- How good would it be if we were unashamed of wearing the “Badge”or “Flag of Victory” that our Lord Jesus has given us? Consider how many of us willingly, wholeheartedly and loyally hoisted the “Clean Election Flag” during this year’s State Assembly elections? Let us think hard about it!

17. Just as we (for those who do not own a TV at home) do not feel lazy, afraid or hesitate to walk or go a long distance to a friend’s or relative’s place at night to watch World Cup matches…

- How good would it be if we all werespiritually energetic, active and willing to go any mile at any time to attend worship services, prayer and fasting programmes, or to seek out the needy ones knowing that helping the weak and helpless ones pleases God? 18. Just as we are very punctual for the World Cup matches in spite of many unfished tasks at hand so that we do not

miss even a second of it or keep ourselves awake deep at night and watch the 90 minutes matches (some were more than 2 hours match) even without blinking the eyes or are able to get up at midnight with a smiling face….

- How good would it be if we were punctual for God’s work or for worship?

How beautiful would it be if, at least often, we were able to get up with a smiling face at midnight so that we could spend some quality time with God in prayers?

19. Just as we get angry when our supporting team losses the match and we shout and cry (some even killing themselves!) not knowing where to find solace…

- Likewise how good would it be if we got angry and frustrated when God’s work didn’t succeed?

20. Just as we are able to keep ourselves awake whole night on successive days during World Cup season and we don’t complain even if we get backache, headache and bodyache and are able to bear sitting for 7-8 hours without crumbling…

- Likewise how good would it be if we could sit for 1 hour during worship services without complaint or were able to sit/participate in a 6-7 hours prayer & fasting programmes without any excuses?

“How good would it be if we could understand God and were eager to worship him with the same measure of understanding and excitement of watching World Cup matches today?”

AgustaWestland charge sheet: Former IAF chief among 34 others

Former Air Chief SP Tyagi. (file)

New Delhi, Jul 18 (IANS): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday filed a supplementary charge sheet in the Rs 3,600 crore AgustaWestland VVIP chopper deal against 34 individuals and foreign and Indian companies including former IAF chief S.P. Tyagi, his two cousins, advocate Gautam Khaitan and Italians Carlo Gerosa and Guido Haschke.

While filing the charge sheet before special judge Arvind Kumar under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, the ED said that money was laundered through “multiple foreign companies” and these firms were used as “fronts to park alleged kickbacks”. The charge sheet,

filed through special public prosecutor N. K. Matta, will be taken up for consideration on July 20.

The chargesheet, which mentions money laundering of around 28 million euros, named the former IAF chief ’s cousins Sanjeev Tyagi and Rajiv Tyagi along with Bruno Spagnolini, former CEO of AgustaWestland, and Giuseppe Orsi, the former chief of Italian defence and aerospace major Finmeccanica.

Others named are Rajeev Saxena, Director of Dubia-based firm Matrix Holdings, his wife Shivani Saxena and Khaitan’s wife Ritu Khaitan.

The charge sheet also names some Indian and foreign companies like

Aeromatrix Info Solution Ltd, Windsor Group Holdings, Ismax International Ltd, Cricklewood Ltd, Long Lasting Ltd, Matrix Holding Pvt Ltd, UHY Saxena, Dubai Interstellar Technologies Ltd, O.P. Khaitan and Co International Mediterranean Consulting, Tunisia Infotech Design Systems, Gordian Services, Finmeccanica SPA and AgustaWestland.

The ED said kickbacks were paid by AgustaWestland through two different channels -- one handled by middleman Christian Michel James and the other by Gerosa and Haschke.

ED had earlier attached properties worth Rs 10 crore and frozen shares worth more than Rs 150 crore belonging to Tyagi brothers, Khaitan, Gerosa, Haschke, James and Rajiv Saxena.

The agency said it is likely to file more supplementary prosecution complaints or charge sheets in the matter.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) -the prime investigating agency -- has already filed a chargesheet in the case.

On January 1, 2014, India cancelled the contract with Finmeccanica’s Brit-

106 contracts signed under defence ‘Make In India’: Govt

New Delhi, Jul 18 (IANS): The government on Wednesday said 106 contracts were signed in the last three and half years with local vendors for procurement of defence equipment amid mounting critcism that not even one big project could take off in what was billed as one of the cornerstones of the ‘Make in India initiative.

The contracts have been signed for the purchase of helicopters, radars, ballistic helmets, artillery guns, simulators, missiles, bullet proof jackets, electronic fuzes and ammunition, Minister of State for Defence Subhash Bhamre said in a written

Subhash Bamre (file)

reply in the Lok Sabha.

He said the government also carried out the capital procurement of defence equipment as per the extant Defence Procurement Procedure (DPP)- 2016. It “focuses on institutionalizing, streamlining and simplifying defence procurement procedure to give a boost to the ‘Make in India’ initiative

by promoting indigenous design, development and manufacturing of defence equipment, platforms, systems and sub-systems.” He said the Defence Ministry was committed to DPP-2016 and was taking all steps necessary to realize its objectives.

He said the government has also promulgated the policy of Strategic Partnership in the defence sector which encourages participation of the private sector in manufacture of major defence platforms and equipment in four selected segments submarines, fighter aircraft, helicopters and armoured fighting vehicles and tanks.

ish subsidiary AgustaWestland for supplying 12 AW101 VVIP choppers to the IAF, over alleged breach of contractual obligations and on charges of paying kickbacks amounting to Rs 423 crore. The CBI, which registered an FIR on March 12, 2013, alleged that S.P. Tyagi, who was the IAF chief from 2004 to 2007, and the other accused received kickbacks from AgustaWestland to help it win the contract.

According to the CBI, the IAF chief allegedly took bribes of several crores from AgustaWestland through the middlemen -- and a complex set of companies in several countries -- to change the specifications of the contract, reducing the operational flight ceiling from 6,000 metres, as originally proposed, to 4,500 metres and the cabin height was brought down to 1.8 metres.

The twin modifications were allegedly meant to rig the deal in favour of AgustaWestland, which eventually walked away with the order to supply the 12 choppers for the IAF’s Communication Squadron to ferry the President, the Prime Minister and other VVIPs.

Display registration numbers on VVIP’s cars: HC

New Delhi, Jul 18 (IANS): The Delhi High Court on Wednesday said that every vehicle, including that of top constitutional authorities, should display the registration number.

The order by a bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C. Hari Shankar came while disposing of the public interest litigation filed

by NGO Nyayabhoomi, which has sought to enforce display of registration numbers on VVIPs’ cars.

The detailed order will be released later.

The Road Transport and Highways Ministry, in its affidavit filed before the bench in March, had agreed to display of registration numbers on VVIPs’ cars and said that it has written to the authorities concerned to get these vehicles registered.

The court was hearing a public interest litigation filed by Nyayabhoomi, which stated that the practice of replacing the registration numbers with the national emblem -- three lion heads adapted from the Lion Capital carved on an Ashokan pillar at Sarnath -- is both arbitrary and symptomatic of the desire to rule rather than to serve.

Congress CWC rejig: five prominent veterans dropped

N EW D ELHI , J UL 18 (AGENCIES): Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday constituted the Congress Working Committee and dropped veterans Digvijay Singh, Janardan Dwivedi, Kamal Nath, Sushilkumar Shinde and Karan Singh from the party’s highest decision-making body.

In the working committee named a few months after he took over as Congress chief, Gandhi, however, included other veterans like AK Antony, Ahmed Patel, Ambika Soni, Motilal Vora, Ghulam Nabi Azad, Mallikarjun Kharge, Anand Sharma and Kumari Selja.

The new Congress Wo r k i n g C o m m i t t e e (CWC) includes 23 members, 18 permanent invitees and 10 special invitees.

However, Hooda’s son Deepender Singh has been made a special invitee.

Gandhi’s new CWC team, the names of which was released by party general secretary Ashok Gehlot, has a blend of old and new leaders.

Though it signifies a shift towards youth leadership, the old guard has not been completely left out as Gandhi had himself said at the party’s plenary session that he will move forward with the experience of the old and the energy of the youth.

Among the new faces are Mukul Wasnik, Avinash Pande, KC Venugopal, Dipak Babaraia, Tamradhwaj Sahu, Gaikhangam and Ashok Gehlot, whom he has also made party general secretaries.

The permanent invitees include former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit, P Chidambaram, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Randeep Surjewala, Balasaheb Thorat, Tariq Hameed Karra and P C Chacko.

The new Congress chief has also included all AICC secretaries in-charge of different states - Jitendra Singh, RPN Singh, PL Punia, Asha Kumari, Rajni Patil, Ram Chandra Khuntia, Anugrah Narayan Singh, Rajeev S Satav, Shaktisinh Gohil, Gaurav Gogoi and A Chella Kumar - as permanent invitees. However, they will only be ex-officio members of the panel.

Among the special invitees to the CWC include KH Muniyappa, Ar un Yadav, Deepender Hooda, Jitin Prasada and Kuldeep Bishnoi.

Besides chiefs of party’s frontal organisations INTUC, Seva Dal, Youth Congress, Mahila Congress and NSUI have also been included as exofficio special invitees and they will also be ex-officio members.

The July 22 meeting will be of an ‘extended working committee’ as Gandhi has also invited all state unit presidents and Congress Legislative Party leaders from states.

Mumbai, Jul 18 (PTI): Gold prices tumbled further

by Rs 350 to close at Rs 29,705 per 10 gram at the bullion market here today, tracking a weak trend overseas and slump in demand from local jewellers.

Silver also dropped by Rs 635 to Rs 37,935 per kg following persistent offtake from industrial units.

Standard gold (99.5 per cent purity) fell by Rs 350 to finish at Rs 29,705 per 10 grams from Tuesday’s closing level of Rs 30,055.

Pure gold (99.9 per cent purity) also moved down by a similar margin to close at Rs 29,855 per 10 grams as against Rs 30,205.

Silver (.999 fineness) prices declined by Rs 635 to conclude at Rs 37,935 per kg compared to Rs 38,570 previously.

Globally, gold fell to the lowest in a year on a buoyant dollar and falling oil prices, but some analysts said bullion is close to bottoming out.

Spot gold was down 0.3 per cent at USD 1,223.11 an ounce at early trade.

The government had announced a Rs 2.11-trillion capital infusion programme in October last year. According to the plan, public sector banks were to get Rs 1.35 trillion through recapitalisation bonds, and the balance Rs 580 billion through fund raising from the market.

Out of the Rs 1.35 trillion, the government has already infused around Rs 710 billion through recap bonds, and balance would be done during the current financial year.

Mumbai, Jul 18 (PTI): The rupee firmed up by 12 paise to 68.33 against the US dollar on increased selling of the American currency by exporters and banks.

Forex dealers said besides sustained selling of the greenback, a higher opening of the domestic equity markets boosted the rupee at the interbank forex market.

However, the dollar’s strength against some currencies overseas capped the gains of the domestic unit.

The dollar firmed after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s US economic outlook reinforced views that the central bank is on track to hike interest rates gradually.

Yesterday, the local currency bounced back to settle at a fresh two-week high of 68.45 against the US currency, gaining 12 paise as crude oil prices beat a hasty retreat, easing inflation and trade deficit worries. Meanwhile, the benchmark BSE Sensex was surged 227.91 points, or 0.62 per cent, to hit an all-time high of 36,747.87 in opening trade today.

As a result, public sector banks were facing the risk of breaching the regulatory capital requirement, sources said.

“After the acquisition of the subsidiary banks by SBI, the subsidiary banks have ceased to exist and, therefore, it was necessary to repeal the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act, 1959 and the State Bank of Hyderabad Act, 1956,” the objectives of the Bill read.

“There are certain provisions in the State Bank of India Act, 1955, which apply to the subsidiary banks.

After the acquisition of all the subsidiary banks by the SBI, it is not necessary to retain such provisions in the State Bank of India Act, 1955. Therefore, certain amendments are necessary in the said Act in so far as they relate to the subsidiary banks,” it said.

New Delhi, Jul 18 (Agencies): The government has decided to infuse Rs 113 billion into five public sector banks, including Punjab National Bank, to help them meet regulatory capital requirements, sources said.

According to Business Standard, the capital infusion will be a part of the Rs 2.11-trillion recapitalisation plan for public sector banks announced by the government last year. It is a result of the banks’ inability to fund the interest payment to bond holders of Additional Tier 1 (AT-1) bonds, according to sources.

AT-1 bonds are perpetual in nature and therefore provide higher interest rates to investors. A high-level

For the purposes of “rationalisation of resources, reduction of costs, better profitability, lower cost of funds leading to better rate of interest for public at large, improved productivity and customer service,” the SBI, with the sanction of the central government and in consultation with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), entered into negotiations with these subsidiary banks for acquiring the business, including assets and liabilities.

“The cost of sugar production is estimated to be only Rs 155 per quintal against which we have decided to give an FRP of Rs 275 per quintal. This is 77.42 per cent higher than the cost of production,” he said.

With Lok Sabha elections next year, the move is seen as the government’s attempt to woo the farmers.

Earlier this month, the government had hiked the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for various crops providing farmers a profit of 50 per cent or more over “cost of production”, for 14 notified kharif crops for 2018-19. As per the estimates issued by industry body Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA), total sugar production in season 2018-19 starting October is expected to be 35-35.5 million tonnes.

The State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur, State Bank of Mysore, State Bank of Patiala and State Bank of Travancore were constituted under the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act, 1959.

New Delhi, Jul 18 (IANS): With an eye on the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the government on Wednesday sweetened its deal for the sugarcane farmers: it approved a Rs 20 per quintal increase in the minimum price that sugar mills will have to pay to farmers for the 2018-19 season starting October.

The decision to increase the Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP) from Rs 255 per quintal to Rs 275 was taken during the meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA).

The FRP is the minimum price legally guaranteed for sugarcane farmers.

“We have approved the FRP of sugarcane at Rs 275 per quintal for a basic recovery rate of 10 per cent for sugar season 2018-19, providing a premium of Rs 2.75 per quintal for each 0.1 per cent increase in recovery over and above 10 per cent,”

EU slaps record $5 bn fine on Google; Pichai says will appeal

B ru s s e l s, J u l 1 8 (IANS): Accusing Google of illegally using Android mobile devices to strengthen dominance of its search engine, the European Commission on Wednesday imposed a record fine of 4.34 billion euros ($5 billion) on the tech giant, which said it would appeal against the decision.

According to the Commission, Google has imposed since 2011 illegal restrictions on Android device manufacturers and mobile network operators to cement its dominant position in general Internet search.

Google must now bring the conduct effectively to an end within 90 days or face additional penalty, the ruling said.Reacting to the ruling, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said the company will appeal against the Commission’s decision.

“Rapid innovation, wide choice, and falling prices are classic hallmarks of robust competition. Android has enabled this and created more choice for everyone, not less. This is why we intend to appeal today’s

Android decision,” Pichai wrote in a blog post immediately after the verdict.

The decision, according to the Google CEO, ignores the fact that Android phones compete with iOS phones.

“It also misses just how much choice Android provides to thousands of phone makers and mobile network operators who build and sell Android devices; to millions of app developers around the world who have built their businesses with Android; and billions of consumers who can now afford and use cutting-edge Android smartphones,” Pichai wrote.

According to Commissioner Margrethe Vestager who is in charge of competition policy, their case is about three types of restrictions that Google has imposed on Android device manufacturers and network operators to ensure that traffic on Android devices goes to the Google search engine.

“In this way, Google has used Android as a vehicle to cement the dominance of its search engine.

These practices have denied rivals the chance to innovate and compete on the merits.

They have denied European consumers the benefits of effective competition in the

important mobile sphere.

This is illegal under EU antitrust rules,” Vestager explained.

In particular, Google has required manufacturers to pre-install the Google Search app and browser app (Chrome), as a condition for licensing Google’s app store (the Play Store).

The company made payments to certain large manufacturers and mobile network operators on condition that they exclusively pre-installed the Google Search app on their devices. The Commission also found that Google prevented manufacturers wishing to pre-install Google apps from selling even a single smart mobile device running on alternative versions of Android that were not approved by Google.

The Commission’s decision, according to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, sends a troubling signal in favour of proprietary systems over open platforms.

Pichai said the company has always agreed that with size comes responsibility.

Musk says sorry over ‘pedo’ remark after backlash

San Francisco, Jul 18 (IANS): Bowing to pressure from investors amid falling Tesla stock, Elon Musk on Wednesday apologised to British cave explorer Vern Unsworth whom he had baselessly called a “pedo”.

“Nonetheless, his actions against me do not justify my actions against him, and for that I apologise to Mr Unsworth and to the companies I represent as leader. The fault is mine and mine alone,” Musk tweeted.

Unsworth had dismissed the “mini-submarine” idea from Musk to save 12 boys and their coach from the cave, called it a “PR stunt” to which, Musk reacted in a bizarre way.

“My words were spoken in anger after Mr Unsworth said several untruths and suggested I engage in a sexual act with the mini-sub, which had been built as an act of kindness and according to specifications from the dive team leader,” the Tesla CEO further tweeted to a user.

Earlier, Musk’s Twitter posts sparked backlash from shareholders and Silicon Valley analysts, who called his behaviour “immature and an impediment to the car company’s success”, The Guardian reported.

Rescued Thai cave boys relive ‘moment of miracle’ after hospital discharge

The boys’ appearance before the media is meant to be a one-off.

Lo n d o n, J u l 1 8 (Agencies): The 12 boys rescued from a flooded cave in Thailand have spoken publically of their ordeal for the first time, describing the “moment of miracle” when divers found them.

Adul Sam-on, 14, the only member of the group who speaks English, told reporters he could only say “hello” when the British divers surfaced. The boys were trapped in the the Tham Luang caves for more than two weeks. They left hospital earlier on Wednesday and are on their way home.

They appeared in their football kit at a news conference in Chiang Rai, alongside members of the Thai Navy Seals who helped rescue them.

One boy described how they had lived only on water from the stones of the cave. “Water is clean,” he said. “No food.” Some said they would learn from their ordeal. One promised to be “more careful and live my life the fullest”. Another said: “This experience taught me to be more patient and strong.”

Chiang Rai’s provincial governor, Prachon Pratsukan, said this would be the boys’ “only official media interview”, saying that there would “be no more speaking with the press after this”.

Questions submitted by journalists were vetted ahead of time, and have been screened by a child psychiatrist to ensure they do not distress the boys.

There are also plans for the boys to be ordained as Buddhist monks for a short period of time, a tradition for males in Thailand who have experienced a misfortune.They entered the Tham Luang cave in the northern district of Chiang Rai on 23 June during an excursion with their coach.

They had planned to be there for only an hour but found themselves trapped after a sudden bout of heavy rain flooded the cave complex, blocking their only way out.

Their parents soon informed officials they were missing, and a search and rescue operation began.

Nine days passed before the boys were found by two British rescue divers.

However, he clarified that he had not joined the PTI. “We are not joining the PTI. We just announced to support Asad Umar in NA54,” he was quoted as saying by the daily.

When contacted, Umar said he was unaware whether Khalil was on the US-designated list of terrorists.

“I have known him for three years. He has condemned terrorist activities by the TTP and made efforts for unity and harmony between various religious groups and sects. This is what I like about him,” he said.

Data in the report showed that overall among adults and children worldwide, some 1.8 million people became newly infected with HIV in 2017.

Since the start of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, more than 77 mil-

Kabul, Jul 18 (IANS): Eleven Afghan journalists and media workers have been killed in the first half of the year amid deteriorating security, an independent media safety group said on Wednesday.

“The first six months of 2018 was the bloodiest reporting period for journalists and the media community in Afghanistan. About 89 cases of violence and intimidation were reported, 11 of which involved the killing of journalists,” Afghan Journalists Safety Committee (AJSC) told Xinhua news agency.

A group of nine reporters were killed on April 30 in a suicide bombing while they were covering a terrorist attack at a diplomatic district. The attack was later claimed by the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group.

Two other journalists were shot dead in southern Kandahar and easter n Khost provinces in the same month.

The press safety group also expressed concern over the continuation and expansion of violence and threats to Afghan journalists posed by terrorist groups, particularly Taliban and IS affiliates.

“The intensity and scale of violence has been unprecedented during this period of 2018,” AJSC added.

But Sidibe also said there were now “crisis” points in preventing the spread of HIV - particularly among high-risk and vulnerable populations and in securing sustained funding.

“The success in saving lives has not been matched with equal success in reducing new HIV infections,” he said. “New HIV infections are not falling fast enough. HIV prevention services are not being provided on an adequate scale ... and are not reaching the people who need them the most.”

Sidibe said a failure to halt new infections among children was a big worry.

Khalil’s Ansarul Ummah also took part in the last local government elections.

However, many were surprised when senior party leader Asad Umar took to social media to announce that Khalil along with hundreds of other Ulema (clerics) had joined the PTI and announced their support to him in the upcoming elections, the daily reported.

“Maulana Fazlur Rehman Kahlil has joined the PTI along with hundreds of his followers and Ulema,” Umar wrote in a Facebook post with an album showing Umar being welcomed

Michel Sidibe, executive director of UNAIDS, noted in the report’s foreword that there had been great progress in reducing deaths from AIDS and in getting a record number of people worldwide into treatment with antiretroviral drugs.

The report said an estimated 21.7 million of the 37 million people who have the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes AIDS were on treatment in 2017, five and a half times more than a decade ago.

Cliff Richard: Singer wins BBC privacy case at High Court S ir Cliff Richard has won his privacy case against the BBC over its coverage of a police raid on his home.

High Court judge Justice Mann awarded an initial ÂŁ210,000 in damages.

The singer claimed the BBC’s reporting of the 2014 raid, which was part of an investigation into historical child sex allegations, was a “serious invasion� of privacy. He was never arrested or charged.

The BBC said journalists acted in good faith and it is considering an appeal.

Speaking outside the High Court in London, the BBC’s director of news and current affairs Fran Unsworth apologised to Sir Cliff and said: “In retrospect, there are things we would have done differently.�

But, she said, the case marked a “significant shift� against press freedom and an “important principle� around the public’s right to know was at stake.

In his judgement, Justice Mann said the BBC had infringed Sir Cliff ’s privacy rights in a “serious� and “sensationalist� way.

He rejected the BBC’s case that its reporting, which included footage filmed

U

from a helicopter, was justified under rights of freedom of expression and of the press. Justice Mann said a suspect in a police investigation “has a reasonable expectation of privacy� and while Sir Cliff being investigated “might be of interest to the gossip-monger�, there was not a “genuine public interest� case.

He awarded Sir Cliff ÂŁ190,000 damages and an extra ÂŁ20,000 in aggravated damages after the BBC submitted its coverage of the raid for an award.

The BBC must pay 65% of the ÂŁ190,000 and South Yorkshire Police, which car-

ried out the raid, 35%.

South Yorkshire Police had earlier agreed to pay Sir Cliff ÂŁ400,000 after settling a claim he brought against the force.

At court, Sir Cliff told the BBC he was “choked up� at the judgement, adding: “It’s wonderful news.�

Fans supporting him sang the singer’s hit Congratulations as the judgement was announced.

The 77-year-old singer took legal action against the BBC over broadcasts of a South Yorkshire Police raid on his home in Sunningdale, Berkshire, in August 2014.

Officers were investi-

gating an allegation made by a man who claimed he was sexually assaulted by Sir Cliff at an event at Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane in 1985 when he was a child.

BBC director of editorial policy and standards David Jordan told BBC Radio 4’s World At One the judgement could have a “chilling effect� on the ability of the media to report when somebody is the subject of a police investigation.

He said the BBC will look in depth at the 200-page judgement before deciding on whether or not to appeal.

The UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization is set to hold a conference in Paris on the topic in January 2019. She stressed that Unesco dealt with ethics of science and had a role to play in the issue. “We need to have a conversation about the ethics of AI, which cannot happen without China,� said Azoulay, who became the first Director-General of Unesco to meet a Chinese President after she met Xi Jinping, with whom she discussed Beijing’s cooperation with her organization.

Black Panther’s sister, Shuri, gets own Marvel comic series

M

ar vel has announced a new comic book series about Black Panther’s sister, Shuri, a scientific genius and princess of the mythical nation of Wakanda.

It debuts in October and will be written by author Nnedi Okorafor and artwork by Leonardo Romero.

The series follows her as she takes the reins after her brother and titular hero, T’Challa, disappears into space.

The Black Panther movie was a huge success this year and was hailed for having a largely black cast.

Shuri’s sarcasm and high-tech inventions made her one of the main new characters in the film. “While she [Shuri] is the most at home in her lab, working to keep her country at the forefront of science

and technology, Wakanda is missing its leader,� Marvel wrote in a press statement about the new series. “Without T’Challa around, Shuri will have to decide if she will forego her own passions in order to stand up for her nation.�

British actress Letitia Wright (right) played the Black Panther’s younger sister Ms Okorafor, who writes African-based science fiction and fantasy novels, is no stranger to the Marvel Universe: she has previously contributed to the bi-weekly series, Black Panther: Long Live the King.

The American author, who has Nigerian parents, has won a number of international awards, including a Hugo Award for her novella, Binti, and the Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature.

She told the online women’s magazine, Bustle,

that Shuri was a character in the “Marvel Universe who really sings to me.�

Her novel Who Fears Death is reportedly being made into a drama series produced by Game Of Thrones’ George RR Martin.

Okorafor explained in an email to Bustle that she loved the character for her ambition and being a young African woman of “genius level intelligence who is obsessed with technology and has travelled spiritually so far into the past that she’s seen Wakanda before it was Wakanda.�

The Black Panther comic title was reinvigorated in 2016 under author Ta-Nehisi Coates.

Two years later, the Black Panther movie became a success and took more than $1bn (ÂŁ795m) from cinemas worldwide.

Opener Fakhar Zaman then continued his good run of form to see Pakistan home in the 10th over with an unbeaten 43.

“First of all, a great p e r f o r m a n c e,” s a i d Ahmed. “Ashraf is getting better day by day. He’s an allrounder, and we need him.”

Once again Zimbabwe won the toss and opted to bat first, but their slide began as early as the second over.

Prince Masvaure, on his debut, was caught out by a lifter from Usman Khan and Zimbabwe were under immediate pressure at 1 for 1.

The hosts were wobbling at 26 for 3 when Ashraf came on as first

change in the 10th over, and he quickly had Peter Moor brilliantly caught in the slips by Babar Azam before trapping Chamu Chibhabha leg before wicket with a skidding full delivery.

He then had Elton Chigumbura caught behind and bowled Ryan Murray as Zimbabwe slipped to a perilous 54 for 8.

Tailenders Wellington Masakadza and Blessing Muzarabani clung on for seven overs, but leg-spinner Shadab Khan eventually removed Muzarabani with a googly and Ashraf then returned to end the innings with a pinpoint yorker.

That delivery clean bowled number 11 Richard Ngarava, giving Ashraf his maiden international fivewicket haul.

Zimbabwe’s 67 was their lowest ever total against Pakistan, and the lowest score ever recorded in 78 ODIs at Queens Sports Club.

“I try to bowl in good areas and a stump to stump line,” said Ashraf.

“Our bowling coach [Azhar Mahmood] puts in a lot of effort. He’s really helped us to get better, and a lot of credit for my first

five-for in international cricket goes to him.”

In response, Pakistan lost Imam ul Haq to the first ball of the chase, gloving a quick bouncer from Muzarabani through to wicketkeeper Ryan Murray.

Zaman was also struck on the grille of his helmet by a short one from Ngarava, but he quickly recovered his composure and ended the match in a flurry of boundaries.

He struck seven fours in the space of 10 deliveries to seal the match and give Pakistan an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series.

“A bit of a disaster really,” said Zimbabwe captain Hamilton Masakadza.

“Today we’ve gone quite a long way backwards, but these things happen in cricket. As a batting group, we have a lot of hard questions to ask ourselves,” he said.

“The main thing is to stay positive, because once you go in that direction and get down on yourself it’s very hard to come back.” The teams will play two further matches, on Friday and Sunday, at the same ground.

Jr Badminton Asiad: Indian girls shine on day one Jakarta, Jul 18 (IANS): Junior shuttlers drew mixed response for India on the opening day of the Asia Junior Badminton Championships here on Wednesday.

In the men’s singles affair, Kiran George, 16th seeded, survived narrowly in the first game before hammering his Malaysian opponent Chong King Lingin in the second game to register a 24-22, 21-16 victory. However, in another men’s singles match, Aman Farogh Sanjay went down against tenth seed Indonesian, Karono Karono 16-21, 21-16, 17-21 after putting up a good fight.

But what had overshadowed other Indian wins was the men’s doubles match in which the two

year-old American will be only the sixth woman in history to compete against men on the PGA Tour.

The last was Michelle Wie a decade ago.

Last month Lincicome and Wie were paired at an LPGA event in Arkansas and Lincicome, a two-time major winner, said she tried to ask the Hawaiian about her experiences against the men. “She wasn’t very helpful,” Lincicome joked,

“she said she couldn’t remember, it was so long ago.”

Annika Sorenstam, Suzy Whaley, Shirley Spork and Babe Didrikson Zaharias are the only other women to have competed alongside the men in the PGA’s 102 years.

Lincicome was invited to join the tournament’s 132-strong field on a sponsor exemption - she represents the parent company of the Barbosal brand.

Sponsor exemptions give tournament backers the option to add a player of their choice to the field when they would not ordinarily qualify. “It’s kind of surreal, I just can’t stop smiling,” Lincicome told the PGA Tour website.

“Obviously I’ve heard many times I would be the first LPGA or female person to make the cut in a men’s event.

Neeraj strikes gold at Sotteville athletics meet New Delhi, Jul 18 (IANS): India’s star javelin-thrower Neeraj Chopra have clinched the gold at the Sotteville Athletics meet in France.

Neeraj, who had won the gold medal at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games earlier in 2018, threw 85.17 metres to bag the yellow metal with a massive margin late on Tuesday in Sotteville-lesRouen of the Normandy region.

Moldova’s Andrian Mardare threw a distance of 81.48m to take the silver while Edis Matusevicius (79.31m) of Lithuania settled for bronze.

Neeraj’s performance

Neeraj Chopra

was brilliant as he did not falter in even a single attempt and completed each of his rounds.

Even as his score of

85.17m came in his fifth attempt, he came close to his eventual winning mark in his third attempt.

Although he clinched

the gold with the 85.17m throw, this was not the Indian’s best throw. He had earlier improved his own national record with a throw of 87.43 metres at the IAAF Diamond League where he finished fourth in the season-opening leg.

Earlier in the year, Neeraj struck a gold medal for India with a throw of 86.47m in men’s Javelin Throw Final at the Commonwealth Games.

The 20-year-old from Panipat is also a part of India’s squad for the Asian Games 2018 and all eyes will be on him as he will be gunning for the gold in Jakarta as well.

Three track and field athletes were also dropped on the basis of recent below-par performances. The decisions were taken after a meeting of the Mission Olympic Cell here.

Commonwealth Games gold medallist table tennis player Manika Batra has been sanctioned Rs 2.4 lakh (approximately) for her training till the Asian Games. This amount includes her training with coach Sandeep Gupta, use of support staff (physiotherapist, fitness trainer and masseur) and purchase of playing equipment.

Rs 93,555, which was already approved for

Jitu Rai

Vinesh Phogat’s participation at the Gran Premio De Espana Wrestling tournament where she won the gold medal, was ratified at the meeting.

“Proposals of TOPS shooters of about Rs 50 lakhs who will be representing India at Asian Games and World Championships were approved at the meeting. A thorough performance review of shooters under TOPS was also undertaken and four shooters including Jitu Rai were dropped from the scheme, on grounds of recent below-par performances and non-selection

in Asian Games and World Championship squads,” a release from the Sports Authority of India said.

The three other shooters dropped from the TOP Scheme are Yashaswini Deswal, Amanpreet Singh and Neeraj Kumar.

Jitu won a gold each in the men’s 50m pistol event in the 2014 Asian Games and also bagged the yellow metal in the men’s 10m air pistol in the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games in April. But he is experiencing a lack of form of late and he was left out of the Indian shooting team for the upcoming Asian Games. Meanwhile, under the funding clearances, Rs 2.93 lakh has been sanctioned to Anjum Moudgil, who participated in the 50m rifle 3 position event at the 2018 Commonwealth Games to procure ammunition for her training till

the 2018 Shooting World Championships.

“Skeet shooters Mairaj Ahmad Khan and Sheeraz Sheikh are both training under TOPS in Italy under world-renowned coach Ennio Falco. The committee approved the hiring of sports psychologist Giovanna Menditto and physiotherapist Bruno Beniamino for both shooters for a period of 10 days each at a combined cost of Rs. 6.13 Lakhs (Rs. 3.06 lakhs each),” the release said.

An amount of Rs 3.25 lakh has been sanctioned to trap shooter Seema Tomar as financial assistance to participate in the Italian Open Green Cup competition from July 21 to August 1.

About Rs 3 lakh was also sanctioned to four boxers Sonia Lather, Manoj Kumar, Gaurav Solanki and Shiva Thapa to purchase boxing equipment.

Dubai, Jul 18 (IANS): India skipper Virat Kohli held on to his No.1 spot in the International Cricket Council (ICC) ODI player rankings for batsmen, but had a new man just after him with England Test skipper Joe Root vaulting to the No.2 spot at the end of the three-match rubber.

Root struck two centuries -- 113 not out in the second game and 100 not out in the third, to average 216 in England’s 2-1 triumph and jump four spots to the No.2 spot in the rankings. According to an ICC release, Root’s 818 ratings points, however, isn’t the best in his career.

The 819 he had after the Brisbane ODI against Australia earlier this year, when he followed up his 91 not out in Melbourne with 46 not, remains his best.

Kohli’s India lost the series, but the captain was in good nick, registering scores of 75, 45 and 71 to total 191

Virat Kohli

runs at an average of 63.66.

That not only helped him hold on to the top spot, but also gave him his career-best rating points: 911.

With Root moving up, other top batsmen had to make way. Pakistan’s Babar Azam moved down one spot to No.3, the out-of-action David Warner slipped two spots to fifth, while Ross Taylor went down one position to No. 6. Rohit Sharma, however, stayed at No.4, with his 137 not out in the first ODI helping his cause.

Rashid, the England leg-spinner, had six wickets in the three games, and the 3/49 in the final fixture took him to a career-high 681 rating points. There was no movement up the ladder for him, though, as he remained in the eighth spot.

There were no changes in the top five -- Jasprit Bumrah, Rashid Khan, Hasan Ali, Trent Boult and Josh Hazlewood -- but Kuldeep soared eight spots following his chart-topping nine wickets in the series to get to No.6.
