Trump’s Kashmir remarks trigger pol firestorm; Oppn wants Modi to clarify

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar speaks in the Rajya Sabha during the Budget Session of Parliament, in New Delhi, Tuesday. (RSTV Grab)

NEW DELHI/WASHINGTON JUL 23 (PTI): A massive political firestorm broke out on Tuesday over Donald Trump’s stunning claim that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had asked him to mediate on the Kashmir dispute with the Opposition demanding a clarification from Modi even as the government asserted that no such request was made to the US president.

The issue rocked both houses of Parliament with the opposition, led by Congress, demanding that the prime minister himself should clarify since Trump’s (Cont’d on p-7) comments were “serious”.

Ahead of talks with Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan in White House on Monday, Trump told reporters that Modi had asked him during a meeting on the sidelines of G-20 summit in Osaka last month to mediate on the Kashmir issue.

External Affairs Ministry was quick to deny Trump’s startling claim on Monday while strongly reiterating India’s consistent position that all outstanding issues with Pakistan will have to be discussed bilaterally, including the Kashmir issue. As the opposition mounted a concerted attack on the Modi government, both inside and

outside Parliament, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said in Rajya Sabha that Modi had never made any such request to Trump.

Not satisfied with the Jaishankar’s statement, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that a “weak” foreign ministry denial wouldn’t do and Modi must tell the nation what transpired in the meeting between him and the US president.

Opposition leaders also held a meeting and sought an explanation from Modi in both the Houses on Trump’s statement. Various opposition leaders addressed a press conference on the issue. As Trump’s comments risked straining ties with New Delhi, the US State Department in Washington said Kashmir is a “bilateral” issue between India and Pakistan, and the US “welcomes” the two countries “sitting down” for talks. Hours after Trump’s remarks, influential Democratic Congressman Brad Sherman tweeted that he apologised to Indian envoy in the US Harsh Shringla for the president’s “amateurish and embarrassing mistake”.

Boris Johnson elected as next UK Prime Minister from within the Conservative Party. Addressing the Tory party members at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre in London, near the Houses of Parliament, soon after the results were declared, Johnson, 55, said: “No one person or party has the monopoly of wisdom.

Time and again it is to us [Conservative Party] that people have turned. “At this pivotal point in history...

I know that we will do it.

The mantra is deliver Brexit, unite the country and defeat (Labour leader) Jeremy Corbyn. “I will work flat out to repay your confidence.

The work begins now.” The co-chair of the Tory party’s 1922 Committee Cheryl Gillan MP opened the envelope to declare that Johnson won 92,153 votes compared to 46,656 polled for Hunt by a voting base of 159,320 Tory membership, with 509 rejected ballots.

SC extends Assam NRC deadline to Aug 31

New Delhi, Jul 23 (PTI): The Supreme Court Tuesday extended the deadline for publication of final National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam by a month to August 31 while rejecting the pleas seeking permission for 20 per cent sample re-verification.

The Centre and the Assam government sought permission for sample reverification to find out wrongful inclusions and exclusions of persons in the NRC. The order was passed by a bench, comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice R F Nariman, which perused the reports filed by the Assam NRC coordinator Prateek Hajela.

The Centre and the Assam government stands were advanced by Attorney General K K Venugopal and Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, respectively.

Both the governments had on July 19 told the top court that “India cannot be the refugee capital of the world” and sought extension of its deadline of July

The Centre and the Assam government sought permission for sample re-verification to find out wrongful inclusions and exclusions of persons in the NRC. 31 to complete the Assam NRC. They sought directions to conduct sample reverification to quell a growing perception that many illegal immigrants may have infiltrated the NRC especially in districts bordering Bangladesh.

The court had earlier reiterated that the deadline would not be extended.

Both the governments told the apex court that several lakh people have been wrongfully included in the NRC, specially in districts

bordering Bangladesh due to the involvement of local officers in the massive exercise.

They moved the apex court on July 17 seeking a direction for 20 percent sample re-verification of names included in the final NRC draft in the districts of Assam bordering Bangladesh and 10 percent sample re-verification of names included in the final draft in the remaining districts.

The Centre’s plea also sought a direction that such re-verification exercise be

conducted by Class I officers of the state government from other districts who have knowledge and experience of handling the process of enquiry/investigation.

The pleas of both the governments also sought a direction to fix the venue of the sample re-verification at a place which was not in the vicinity of the initial NRC verification to rule out possibility of local influences, bias and threat.

They claimed that names of Indian citizens

Mizoram assembly to go paperless

were excluded and illegal Bangladeshi migrants were included in the draft.

They also referred to the apex court’s 2018 order by which it had said it could consider a re-verification of 10 percent of the people who were included in the draft NRC. The top court had termed the issue as “human problem with great magnitude” and asked the state NRC coordinator to submit a report in a sealed cover on the ramification of allowing the claimants to file new sets of legacy documents.

The first draft of the NRC for Assam was published on the intervening night of December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2018 in accordance with the top court’s direction. Names of 1.9 crore people out of the 3.29 crore applicants were incorporated then.

Assam, which had faced influx of people from Bangladesh since the early 20th century, is the only state having an NRC which was first prepared in 1951.

Aizawl, Jul 23 (PTI): The functioning of the Mizoram Assembly may become paperless through the National E-Vidhan Application (NeVA) within this year, a senior central government official said here on Tuesday. Paperless Assembly or e-Assembly is a concept involving electronic means to facilitate all the works of the legislature. It is being done under the supervision of the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs. The ministry’s NeVA Coordinator Arpit Tyagi said the expenses for implementing NeVA would be funded by the Centre and the state government on 90:10 sharing basis. The National E-Vidhan Application “addresses day to day functioning of a House covering list of businesses, notices, bulletins, starred or unstarred questions and replies by the departments, proceedings, etc,” he told reporters in the assembly secretariat here. It enables automation of entire law making process, tracking of decisions and documents, sharing of information, the official said.

NRC coordinator dismisses reports of Rohingya inclusion in draft list Guwahati, Jul 23 (PTI): Assam coordinator of National Register of Citizens, Prateek Hajela, has termed media reports of inclusion of a Rohingya migrant in the draft NRC as ‘false’ and ‘baseless’.

Reports on inclusion of a Rohingya migrant in the draft NRC were published in some dailies on Sunday and Monday.

In a press communique on Monday, Hajela said, “The media reports have referred to one person named Alam Hussain Mazumdar who was arrested in Cachar recently on various charges and has been mentioned as an illegal Rohingya migrant.”

“In this connection, it is clarified that this news is absolutely false as the said Alam Hussain Mazumdar was not included in draft National Register of Citizens on account of being found ineligible in family tree verification and for submitting a forged birth certificate,” he said.

This clarification is being issued as irresponsible false reporting has the potential of casting aspersions on the purity of the NRC, Hajela said.

He said the media reports appeared to have been published without verification from the National Register of Citizens authorities.

Alleging wrongful inclusions and exclusions in the NRC, the Centre and the Assam government had on July 19 sought from the Supreme Court extension of the July 31 deadline for publication of the final draft.

A bench comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice R F Nariman took note of the submission of Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre and the state government, that they be allowed to undertake verification of 20 per cent random samples of citizens due to wrongful inclusions or exclusions in the National Register of Citizens.

The court fixed the applications of both the governments for deliberation on July 23 on the issue of proposed sample survey.

Slain rifleman’s brothers join Army to avenge killing

Tariq and Shabbir with their mother Raaj Begum during an enrollment rally in Rajouri on Monday. (HT)

RAJOURI, JUL 23 (PTI): Thirteen months after the abduction and killing of rifleman Aurangzeb by terrorists in South Kashmir’s Shopian district, his two brothers have joined the Army to serve the nation and “avenge his death”.

Mohmmad Tariq and Mohmmad Shabir joined yhe 156 Infantry Battalion of Territorial Army at a passing out parade at headquarters of the counter insurgency force ‘Romeo’ in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district Monday, a defence spokesman said.

The duo aspires to join ‘operation all out’ against terrorists in Kashmir and fight against the enemies of the nation.

Their father Mohammad Hanif, who also served in Indian army, is proud of his sons joining the Army “to serve the nation to stamp out terrorism” in Kashmir and “avenge the killing of their brother”.

“I have sent my sons to serve Indian Army and ensure stamping out of terrorism in bid to avenge the killing of their brother Aurangzeb by terrorists in Kashmir,” Hanif said.

“Their fight against terrorism will be tribute and homage to his martyr son”, he said. Aurangzeb was abducted in Pulwama and later killed by armed terrorists on June 14, 2018, when he was on his way back home in Poonch to celebrate Eid with his family. He was a rifleman in the army’s 44 Rashtriya Rifles.

After his killing, we were determined to join the army, the duo said.

“We have joined the army. Our mission is to avenge for the love and brother of the army. This is our father’s resolve and directive to us. We will abide by it,” Shabir said.

The duo, who were selected among 101 new recruits from over 11,000

participants in a recruitment rally in Surankote belt of Poonch district on March 7, will get training in the Punjab regiment, the defence spokesman said.

The Army conducted the enrolment parade in Rajouri district on Monday, the spokesman said.

Haling from Salani hamlet of Surankote in Poonch border district, their elder brother Mohmmad Qasim also has joined Army 12 years ago and younger brothers Aasim and Sohial are studying.

They also aspire to follow their brothers. Their father Hanif said they were inspired by the courage and bravery of Aurangzeb.

“Aurangzeb was killed by terrorists by deceit. Had he died in an encounter, I would have no pain in my heart but he was killed by cowards by fraud,” he said.

The enrolment parade of the young recruits, a unique initiative, was conducted by 156 Infantry Battalion of Territorial Army (Home and Hearth) Punjab, the spokesman said.

He said the recruits, most of whom have come from humble background and included six graduates, have been enrolled in Territorial Army (Home & Hearth) after a stringent recruitment process.

1955 revenue records of disputed land missing

Yogi Adityanath (File)

SONBHADRA (UP), JUL 23 (PTI): Investigations into the clash, which left 10 people dead in a Sonbhadra village last week, might face a major hurdle as the 1955 revenue records of the land disputed by the rival parties have been missing.

On Saturday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had suggested the genesis of the land dispute was laid in 1955, during the Congress rule, and said the committee set up to investigate the shooting incident in Gharowal area of Sonbhadra district will look into this.

Opposition parties, including the Congress, have demanded a CBI probe into the incident.

“The records of the land belong to the time when Sonbhadra was a part of Mirzapur district, till 1989.

Some records are destroyed after a specified period of time. The same is the case here,” Additional District

Magistrate Yogendra Bahadur Singh told PTI. Some records, which are taken as time barred, are destroyed in a routine manner as every paper cannot be stored, the ADM said.

The committee constituted by Adityanath under the additional chief secretary (revenue)has to give its report within 10 days.

At a press conference after visiting the village, Adityanath had sought to pin the blame on the Congress rule from 1955 to 1989.

His government has claimed that the 90-bigha plot was illegally transferred to Adarsh Co-operative Society, which held the land till 1989.

It claimed that the ownership of the land was changed to individual that year. Later, the individual reportedly sold the land to gram pradhan Yagya Dutt, the main accused in the firing incident on July 17.

Ten Gond tribals were gunned down while resiting a violent attempt by the village head and his men to take control of the land.

On Tuesday, ADM Singh said Dutt also had held the possession of another land in front of his house illegally and the district administration has got it freed.

District Magistrate Ankit Kumar Agarwal has ordered an inquiry into all development-related work undertaken in the area.

seniors of Tadvi, who are in continuous custody since then.

Earlier this month, the case took a significant turn after a purported suicide note was recovered from Tadvi’s mobile phone following a forensic investigation. Though the whereabouts of its original hard copy are not known, an image of the suicide note found on the mobile phone is included with the charge sheet.

Late in the evening of May 22, Tadvi, 26, was found hanging in her hostel room at the B.Y.L. Nair General Hospital in south Mumbai, sparking off a huge controversy.

While her family alleged that the three senior medicos were responsible for her death by harassing her on grounds of her minority tribal background,

the accused have consistently denied the charges, claiming they had merely pulled her up for inefficiency in work.

Though the Agripada police initially registered an accidental death, following a complaint by the deceased’s mother, Abeda Tadvi, an FIR was lodged and investigations launched.

The three accused women medicos - Ahuja, Mehare and Khandelwal were absconding since the FIR was registered, but were arrested from different parts of the city on May 28-29. According to the prosecution, the purported suicide note has clearly mentioned the names of the accused trio and at least two instances which drove Tadvi to the extreme step of ending her life.

A d d i t i o n a l l y, t h e charge sheet includes the statements of more than 150 witnesses including Tadvi’s friends, colleagues, some medicos, hospital staffers and patients who had witnessed the three seniors doctors yelling at her.

The accused have been charged under Indian Penal Code sections pertaining to abetment of suicide and destruction of evidence, provisions of the Scheduled Castes & Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) and Maharashtra Prohibition of Ragging Act.

OPINiON/EDITORIAL

Nagaland Post Vol. XXIX NO. 227 Dimapur, WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 2019

Speaking out or outspoken

J

ammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik, has again become the newsmaker albeit for the wrong reasons and for the second time.

Speaking in the context of corruption a few days ago, he had questioned why boys with guns were unnecessarily killing unarmed PSOs and SPOs. ‘Kill those who have looted the wealth of your country and your Kashmir. Have you killed any of them so far?’ he asked. Malik’s statement sparked outrage across the nation. He later had to clarify his inciting message by expressing his regrets and said it was made on the spur of the moment. It may also be recalled that Malik publicly admitted on November 24 last year in Gwalior, that had he looked for directions from Delhi on how to tackle the political crisis in Jammu and Kashmir, he would have had to install BJP-backed Sajad Lone as the Chief Minister. The ‘motor-mouths’ of the NDA have consistently attract flak from across the political spectrum but it seems the BJP members are afflicted with the problem. The other governor who had made news for the wrong reasons was Meghalaya governor Tathagata Roy who extolled the 2002 pogrom in Gujarat. In his myopia, in 2017, he also urged a “civil war” between Hindus and Muslims in order to quell the latter. He also commented that Bengali boys are working as sweepers and the girls as bar dancers in other states. He had also called for boycotting ‘everything Kashmiri’, including the Amarnath Yatra, following the Pulwama terror attack.

Both these governors have forgotten that they are constitutional heads of states and not rabble rousing politicians. The J&K governor is currently holding the highest constitutional office and heading the administration in the absence of an elected government. Therefore, goading militants to kill anyone, that too in a state where politicians and bureaucrats has invited risk their lives to maintain peace. Frightfully disturbing, to say the least, when coming from those holding offices that have constitutional propriety imprinted on the seat. It’s testing the boundaries of what’s acceptable when upholders of the Constitution play around with its most lofty of ideals: freedom of speech. A governor is supposed to be the upholder of the constitution and therefore, expected to be seen and not heard. Although there is no bar on governors to speak out on important issue, it does not mean that they can do so without weighing what they say. The post of governor is a sensitive assignment and those in office should learn to know they are they represent the President of India and should know what should be or should not be spoken. There’s always the ear of an aide or one’s own heart out but it should be done in with a great deal of responsibility. If the president of India makes political speeches or even step over the unwritten code of Lakshman –Rekha, then the sanctity of the constitution would be severely damaged. On such occasions, it would be most welcome if the prime minister clear the mist by reminding the governors that they are only in office to guide the state government by upholding the constitution.

ayushman bharat-pradhan mantri jan arogya yojana Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is AB – PMJAY? Ayushman Bharat – Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) or PMJAY in short is the world’s largest government health insurance scheme which gives protection of Rs. 5 lakhs per family to deprived and vulnerable families in India for serious health conditions which require hospitalization. In Nagaland, it covers 2.33 lakhs households, i.e. over 10 lakhs individuals. The scheme provides cashless service for hospitalized care and the State of Nagaland provides 1534 treatment packages.

Ay u s h m a n B h a r a t stands for Healthy India.

It has two components: Health and Wellness Centres (HWC) and PMJAY. HWCs provide preventive and primary care; PMJAY provides insurance cover for secondary and tertiary care.

2. What is the aim of PMJAY? High cost of medical care is one of the main reasons for people to fall into poverty. PMJAY seeks to reduce out-of-pocket expenditure on medical care among poor and deprived population. It aims to provide safety net from catastrophic health spending.

3. What are the benefits of PMJAY? PMJAY provides cashless services for hospitalized care in empanelled hospitals. Admission charges, medicines, surgical charges, bed charges, investigations, etc are covered. From 3 days before admission till up to 15 days after discharge are covered. There are 1534 treatment packages which include medical, surgical, and day-care packages like dialysis, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and emergency packages.

4. What are the services not covered by PMJAY? Not all diseases are covered by PMJAY although it covers most of the common medical and surgical conditions in the 1534 packages. OPD cases are not covered. Investiga-

But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us…sanctification… —1 Corinthians 1:30

The Life Side. The mystery of sanctification is that the perfect qualities of Jesus Christ are imparted as a gift to me, not gradually, but instantly once I enter by faith into the realization that He “became for [me]…sanctification….” Sanctification means nothing less than the holiness of Jesus becoming mine and being exhibited in my life.

The most wonderful secret of living a holy life does not lie in imitating Jesus, but in letting the perfect qualities of Jesus exhibit themselves in my human flesh. Sanctification is “Christ in you…”

(Colossians 1:27). It is His wonderful life that is imparted to me in sanctification— imparted by faith as a sovereign gift of God’s grace. Am I willing for God to make sanctification as real in me as it is in His Word?

Sanctification means the impartation of the holy qualities of Jesus Christ to me. It is the gift of His patience, love, holiness, faith, purity, and godliness that is exhibited in and through every sanctified soul. Sanctification is not drawing from Jesus the power to be holy— it is drawing from Jesus the very holiness that was exhibited in Him, and that He now exhibits in me. Sanctification is an impartation, not an imitation. Imitation is something altogether different. The perfection of everything is in Jesus Christ, and the mystery of sanctification is that all the perfect qualities of Jesus are at my disposal. Consequently, I slowly but surely begin to live a life of inexpressible order, soundness, and holiness— “…kept by the power of God…” (1 Peter 1:5).

Nagaland Post, Dimapur WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 2019

T

tions done for health evaluation, drug rehabilitation programs, cosmetic and fertility related procedures, organ transplants are not covered. Tonics and vitamins which are not essential part of the treatment of the disease concerned are not covered.

5. Who are eligible to benefit from PMJAY? There are two lists which are chosen by the government as beneficiaries for PMJAY. First is the Socio-Economic and Caste Census 2011 (SECC 2011).

The government has taken out certain deprived families like: landless households, one room kucha house, no adult member between 16-59 years, female headed household with no male earning member, disabled and no able-bodied member, rag picker, beggar, domestic helper, street vendor, mason, tailor, driver, peon, electrician, chowkidar, etc. The second list is the RSBY card holders who have renewed their cards in 2016-17. These are the beneficiaries and their name lists already exist. In the existing names/ families, members can be added by way of birth, marriage, or adoption on producing evidence. But no new family can enrolled and added into the lists or PMJAY scheme. That is the government’s decision as of now.

6. Where can I make a PMJAY ecard and what are the required documents?

PMJAY ecard can be made in any of the PMJAY empanelled government hospitals. Common Service Centres (CSCs) are also empowered to generate ecards. PMJAY Nagaland has partnered with NGOs who are authorized to make e-card and they differ from district to district.

The first thing to do before making an ecard is to check the eligibility. Besides the above mentioned places where cards are made, you can check your eligibility online (mera.pmjay.gov. in). If eligible, there are two sets of primary documents which are required: (1) Personal Identity proof

document and (2) Family Document. Aadhaar or any government issued photo ID document like Voter card, PAN card, driving license, etc may be used. For CSCs, Aadhaar is the only admissible personal ID proof. For family document, ration card is required. In the absence of ration card, village/ ward chairman may provide family proof document in the prescribed format only.

This format is available at all places where ecards are made.

Each and every individual in an eligible family will have his/her own card. If a family member already exists in the list, his/ her ecard can be generated immediately after verification. But if the name of any family member in the household is not in the list, after generating the ecard of an existing family member, his/her ecard can also be generated as ‘Add member’.

For this, proof of relation to the first card holder is required. In case the proof of relation is not there in the above mentioned family proof document, birth certificate, marriage certificate, or adoption certificate may be provided as proof linking the member to the existing card holder.

7. What is the cost of making a PMJAY ecard?

In empanelled government hospitals, there is no charge of processing an ecard if it is printed in black and white in ordinary paper.

The CSCs are authorized to charge Rs. 30 per such card. The hospital operators are also authorized to charge at similar rate if they process the card in an outreach mode to cover their travel and logistics cost. If the beneficiary decides to have the ecard printed on photo paper, laminated or plastic card, etc; such value additions will be charged to the beneficiary. However, the Rs. 30 ordinary paper black and white printed card option should be always available to the beneficiaries.

To avail benefit from the hospital, the PMJAY ID number printed on the ecard is sufficient and there is no standard way of printing

the ecard.

8. Where can I go to get benefit under PMJAY? There are 55 government hospitals/health centres and 5 private hospitals which are empanelled in Nagaland. All District Hospitals and Community Health Centres, and some select Primary Health Centres are empanelled. The 5 private hospitals are Faith and CISHR (Referral) in Dimapur, Bethel Medical Centre Kohima, House of Hope in Tuensang district, and Impur Christian Hospital.

PMJAY is a national scheme and benefit can be availed with the same card from any empanelled hospital across the country.

Before going out of State to avail benefit under PMJAY, make sure that the hospital is empanelled under PMJAY. You can visit PMJAY website (www.pmjay.gov.in) and search in ‘Locate Hospital’ tab under the ‘Hospital’ Page to choose an appropriate hospital.

9. If there is any confusion about the scheme, where do I seek information?

You can visit any of the government hospitals to seek for more information. All District Hospitals, Community Health Centres, some Primary Health Centres, and five private hospitals as listed above are empanelled and they have PMJAY helpdesks.

At the district CMO office, Deputy CMO is the district nodal officer of the scheme.

State Health Agency office is located at Directorate of Health and Family Welfare, Kohima (email: nagaland. nhpm@gmail.com ). There is a toll free helpline for Nagaland Ayushman Bharat scheme 1800313333233. To check your eligibility, Nagaland PMJAY has a WhatsApp number 9089776177 to which you can send your family’s name details. You can also log on to www. pmjay.gov.in for more information.

10. What are the common misconceptions/confusions about the scheme?

• It is a scheme on

paper only.

No. The scheme was launched on 23rd September 2018 and is in its first policy period; and till mid July 2019, benefit of around Rs. 2 crore has already been availed by beneficiaries in Nagaland.

• One ecard is sufficient to cover one family.

No. Each individual will have own ecard and benefit cannot be availed using family member’s ecard.

• Card has to be renewed periodically.

No. The same ecard can be used every year and there is no validity of the ecard.

• I went to the hospital and I was charged money.

PMJAY does not cover all diseases and all aspects of medical care. But if after having registered as a PMJAY patient, money is being charged for treatment, complaint can be lodged to the hospital authority, district health authority, or State Health Agency PMJAY. It is possible to put up grievance in the internet using the PMJAY grievance redressal portal (https:// cgrms.pmjay.gov.in/).

• The rate of making ecard was high but I didn’t have a choice To make ecard in a government hospital, there is no charge. Through other authorized agencies, Rs. 30 per card (black and white ordinary paper print) option should be always made available to the beneficiaries.

Value additions like plastic card, lamination, etc are optional.

• I paid for making ecard but I did not receive it.

When ecard is processed by Common Service Centres or partner agencies, beneficiaries should not pay before receiving a card. It is the responsibility of the computer operator to ask and upload correct documents and beneficiaries should not be charged before the card is generated.

• I don’t have RSBY 2016-17 card and therefore I am not eligible.

RSBY is now replaced

by PMJAY. Having RSBY 2016-17 card only ensures eligibility and it has to be produced to process PMJAY ecard. If the RSBY card is lost, there is a format to be filled and signed by village/ward chairman. This format is available at all centres where ecards are generated.

If one doesn’t have RSBY 2016-17 card, they might still be eligible under SECC 2011 list.

• PMJAY ecard is like an ATM card with Rs. 5 lakhs balance. If I don’t use up, I carry it over to the next year.

No. A family can avail cashless benefit of up to Rs. 5 lakhs per year while undergoing treatment as a PMJAY beneficiary. But this amount cannot be withdrawn as cash. The scheme provides insurance cover of up to Rs. 5 lakhs per family per year. There is no accumulation of the amount in the subsequent years.

• My name is there in the beneficiary list. But I don’t have aadhaar card or ration card. Therefore, I cannot benefit from PMJAY. Aadhaar is the preferred personal ID proof.

But in its absence, any government issued photo ID proof can be used, like Voter card, driving licence, PAN card, etc. In the absence of ration card as family document, the village/ward chairman can fill up a prescribed format as family proof ID. • I have lost my PMJAY card. Or, I forgot to take it to the hospital while about to receive treatment.

If one remembers the PMJAY ID number or the mobile number which was linked while processing ecard, the card from be retrieved from the system in any empanelled hospital.

Are Nagas heading down the path of the Native American tribes?

hroughout the 16th and 17th centuries, thousands of White people from Europe came to North America which was formerly the homeland of the Native American Indians. In seeking to colonize theNative people and take their land, these newly arrived foreign settlers killed many of them, seized some as servants, and forcefully removed others from their homes. As a result, the Native American population was drastically reduced in size and territory by the end of 19th century.

Although reparation was not exactly extended, the Independent United States (U.S.)gave recognition of the Native Indian tribal sovereignty in 1787, meaning, that the indigenous tribes had inherent authority to govern themselves within the U.S. national territory.

Since then, there have been 573 federally recognized Indian Nations in the U.S., with each Nation having its own flag and constitution.

Has this recognition of the sovereignty of the Indian Nations worked out?

Not really! Then, why not?

Here are some reasons: First, this was a flawed political arrangement –”a sovereign within another sovereign” in which no Indian Nation has the right to conduct any foreign relation affairs. Second, the U.S. strategy of separating the Indian tribes into 326 Reservations and spreading them across the U.S. has

made their unity impossible.

Third, the U.S.’s Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), which was instituted in 1824 to serve on behalf of all Native Indian tribes, has turned out to be usurping the tribal selfgoverning powers for itself.

Not only that, even when the U.S.Congress sanctions grants and aid for the Indian Nations, the BIA keeps most of it and decides how the rest will be spent. Fifth, their trades and businesses are controlled by non-natives, thereby leaving themdependent on others. As a result, these so-called sovereign Indian Nations have become, as the U.S. Supreme Court puts it,“domestic dependent Nations.”

Looking back at the disastrous consequences of this so-called sovereignty exercise in the last 200 years, this is what some American Indians are now saying: Charles Marr: “When the framers of the [U.S.] Constitution wrote that important document, they set the Native tribes in the same grouping as foreign nations in the first Article of the Constitution. They were meant to be treated as separate, distinct nations.

It did not take long to start down the slippery slope from independent to dependent nations.

Frank Pommersheim: “One of the legacies of the colonization process is the fact that Indian tribes, which began their interaction with the federal government as

largely sovereign entities outside the republic, were increasingly absorbed in the republic, eventually becoming internal sovereign nations of a limited kind.”

Joshua Fishman: “Take language away from the culture, and you take away its greetings, its curses, its praises, its laws, its literature, its songs, its riddles, its proverbs, its cures, its wisdom, its prayers. The culture could not be expressed and handed out in any other way.”

Marge Anderson: “Without our culture, language and traditions, we are not Ojibwe people -- we are only the descendants of Ojibwe people.”

Ward Churchill: “Native America is at a crossroads. If the present hegemony of ... governance is maintained ... the outlook is bleak indeed. The future would consist of a permanent reduction of American Indian sovereignty and selfgovernance ... absorption directly into the ‘melting pot’ seems like the most likely outcome.”

Now, what about other nation-states that have unresolved problems with their own native peoples?

Could these nation-states be learning anything from the U.S. experiment with the Native Indians? Yes, without a doubt. According to Glenn Morris, “The policy of the United States towards indigenous nations has been frequently emulated by other nations.”

For example, India is also obviously well-acquainted with how America could successfully contain and control the Native American Indians from turning into a revolutionary movement.

Considering all this, what could the Government of India (GoI) be thinking in terms of resolving the IndoNaga political conflict?

If India were to think only in terms of her own national interest and nothing more, she could do to the Nagas what America did to the Native American Indians by offering the Nagascertain provisions which could be cleverly attached with several catches of entrapment: (1) Recognition of theNagas’ sovereignty but only as ‘a sovereign within another sovereign’ and thus without any authority for Nagas to pursue an independent foreign policy or to receive any foreign aid without India’s permission; (2) A symbolic Naga flag but one which cannot signify areal nationstate; (3) Aseparate Naga constitution which could be easily diluted with Indian laws and practices; (4) A separate Naga passport but one that would not be honored by other countries and therefore cannot be used for foreign travels; (5) Creation of a pan-Naga body in the like of the BIA which could serve as an extension of the GoI; and (6) Creation of a separate frontier state for the Eastern Nagaland Nagas so that the Naga peoplecould

be further divided. Such seemingly generous provisions with possible catches of entrapment, if the GoI were to use them, could potentially cripple the Naga Freedom Movement for another generation, if not permanently.

As for the Nagas, we should ask: If India were to offer all these provisions with catches of entrapment, should we the Nagas accept them? In view of these potential dangers, why couldn’t we have thorough reasoning

together, free and open? By the way, if India is presently unable to come up with a “solution” (whatever that means), maybe there is a divine hand behind that delay for our own good. Who knows, our God may be telling us to look to Him alone for our deliverance and not runtoo trustingly towards Indialest we go down the disastrous path of the Native American Indians – that is, ending up as a “domesticdependent nation.”

Reader’s Post Issues of Smart City project, Kohima Sir,

I am deeply concerned about our Smart City Project, Kohima. But we see little improvement on the road transport, abundant project and very little safety for the pedestrians on the NH 29. Being smart city, sanitation matters should have been given highest priority. Drainages are filled with dirt and septic tanks are being opened to flow to drainages creating most dirty smell which is also a health hazard to the people living in the smart city, specially the children. Septic tanks are not properly emptied by many house owners and hoteliers forming a habit to release the same to the drainages from time to time. Some of these drainages are located between Assam Rifles and Midland; Kitsubozou (Chotobasti) and D Block which is the worst affected from mud and dirt and the people living in that area is known as slum area. Naga Bazar, Daklane, PWD, Chandmari, porter lane and many other areas also facing similar problems. Uncontrolled flow of harmful septic tank liquids not only creating air pollution but also effecting life and health of the children in their respective areas. It is not known whether any scheme to deter such practices exist and if so, the executing agency must be smart and free from corruption from looting public money meant for Smart City, Kohima.

‘RTI on brink of extinction, govt wants to subvert Act’

SC cancels Amrapali Group’s RERA registration

(From p-1)

A view of the Amrapali buildings at sector 78, in Noida, Tuesday. (PTI)

the authorities concerned, if the projects could be taken over by Noida and Greater Noida authorities for completion.

Pleading that they do not have the requisite resources and expertise to complete the construction of the stalled projects, the Noida and Greater Noida authorities asked the bench to hand them over to a reputed builder. They also requested the court to set up a high-powered committee to supervise the completion of the projects in a time-bound manner.

The court said the lenders’ had no right to sell the properties, which largely constitute homes for which buyers have paid, to recover their losses and instead asked them to recover their losses from Amrapali Group’s CMD and directors.

afternoon and up to 100 people, 84 of them stranded on its terrace, were rescued in one of the biggest operations in recent times, Mumbai fire brigade chief P S Rahangdale said.

Over two dozen machines and equipment, including fire engines, special hydraulic ladders, jumbo water tankers, robofire (a robot), rescue van and breathing set vans, were used for the rescue operation that lasted for several hours, he said.

A fire brigade team was still carrying out cooling operations, another official said, adding they hope to

complete the exercise by evening.

The blaze was confined to office cabins, records, furniture, computers, server room, wooden racks, windows, doors, UPS batteries, electrical wirings and switch gears, among others, on the second, third, fifth, seventh and eighth floors, Rahangdale said.

“Though the fire was brought under control on Monday evening, the cooling operations are still underway to ward off the smoke and eliminate any chances of a blaze,” he said.

He lauded fire brigade personnel for working hard

to save lives of those trapped in the building after the fire.

“It was quite satisfying to see our personnel working so hard, beyond the call of duty, to save lives. Our men showed immense bravery and presence of mind while marching into the fire-hit building where the temperature was over 800 degree Celsius coupled with poisonous gases,” he said.

“I am happy to see that everything went well during the rescue operation,” the official said.

Asked why the robot deployed at the site did not perform as expected, he said it did a “satisfactory” job.

The court also ordered attachment of properties of the CMD and directors.

The court observed that Amrapali Group’s top management diverted homebuyers’ money to build their personal assets, instead of completing its housing projects. “The top management of Amrapali Group siphoned off the money to foreign countries,” said the court. Noida and Greater Noida authorities were negligent in monitoring the progress of the project, the court said.

Reserving a verdict in the case, the apex court had on May 10 noted that the homebuyers had already paid the company Rs 1,100 crore, which was more than the cost of its projects. The court had asked banks and

MUMBAI, JUL 23 (PTI): Internet and telephone services in suburban Bandra and nearby areas were affected due to the massive fire at the MTNL building here, the state-run telecom company said on Tuesday.

Efforts were on to restore the services affected due to the cables and other equipment getting burnt in the fire in the nine-storey Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd’s (MTNL) building on Monday, it said.

“The central government may use its legislative majority to achieve its aims but in the process it would be disempowering each and every citizen of our country,” she said in her statement.

Lok Sabha on Monday passed the bill amending the Right To Information Act, amid objections by the Opposition which alleged that it was an attempt to undermine the law and make the transparency panel a “toothless tiger”.

The Right to Information (Amendment) Bill, 2019, seeks to give the government powers to fix salaries, tenures and other terms and conditions of employment of information commissioners.

Rejecting the opposition’s charge that the Bill will weaken the RTI Act, the government said it was fully committed to transparency and autonomy of the institution.

NEW DELHI, JUL 23 (PTI): UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday said the Centre is hell-bent on subverting the RTI Act which now stands on the “brink of extinction”, a day after Lok Sabha passed amendments to the Act amid strong opposition protests.

In a statement, she said it is clear that the present central government sees the RTI Act as a “nuisance” and wants to destroy the status and independence of the Central Information Commission.

“It is a matter of utmost concern that the central government is hell-bent on completely subverting the historic Right to Information Act, 2005. This law, prepared after widespread consultations and unanimously passed by Parliament, now stands at the brink of extinction,” she said in a statement.

Gandhi said, “Over the past decade and more, 60 lakh of our countrymen and women have used RTI

However, the government should keep an “open mind on official digital currency,” it said. As virtual currencies and its underlying technologies are still evolving, the group has proposed setting up of a Standing Committee to revisit the issues as and when required.

The report highlighted the positive aspect of distributed-ledger technology (DLT) and suggested various applications, especially in financial services, for use of DLT in India, the Finance Ministry statement said.

“The DLT-based systems can be used by banks and other financial firms for processes like loan-issuance tracking, collateral management, fraud detection and claims management in insurance, and reconciliation systems in the securities market,” it said.

New Delhi, Jul 23 (PTI): The government on Tuesday said there is no official estimation of black money in the country, however, it has taken several concrete steps to crack down on illicit funds.

“There is no official estimation of black money in the country,” Minister of State for Finance Anurag Singh Thakur said in a written reply in Parliament. In 2014, the BJP-led government came to power with a thumping majority and one of the key poll promised was to bring back black money stashed abroad.

Also, one of the key objectives enlisted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the November 8, 2016, high-value note ban or demonetisation was to curb the ill-gotten money.

Thakur was responding to a query on estimation of total black money in the country and the reasons behind such amount generation.

Bengaluru, Jul 23 (IANS): An increase in government borrowing can risk flooding the debt market while making it expensive for companies to borrow, outgoing RBI Deputy Governor Viral Acharya has said taking yet another indirect dig at the Centre before demitting office.

In a lecture by him, Acharya said India’s borrowing relative to its output has ranged from 67 per cent to 85 per cent since 2000 and has outpaced many emerging markets including China. “As more government debt floods markets, the relative safety and liquidity premium attached by investors to high-rated corporate bonds diminishes, raising the cost of borrowing especially for AAA-rated borrowers and making it relatively less sensitive to policy rate cuts,” Acharya said.

The RBI cut the repo rate to 5.75 per cent on June 6, its third cut in 2019, while also changing its policy stance to “accommodative”, after data showed the economy growing at its slowest in over four years.

Ghani seeks ‘clarification’ after Trump war comments

Kabul, Jul 23 (AFP): Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said Tuesday the US should clarify remarks President Donald Trump made about Afghanistan, including a claim he could easily win the war but didn’t “want to kill 10 million people”.

The US leader made several surprising statements Monday alongside Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan at the White House, including that he had plans for a quick end to the Afghan conflict, but which would wipe the country “off the face of the Earth”.

Afghanistan “would be gone. It would be over in literally, in 10 days,” Trump said, adding, “I don’t want to go that route” and that he didn’t want to kill millions.

His comments sparked upset and outrage in Afghanistan, where the warweary and traumatised population is already worried about a precipitous pull-out of US forces and whether that means a return to Taliban rule and a spiralling civil war.

Ashraf Ghani (File)

“The government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan calls for clarification on the US president’s statements expressed at a meeting with the Pakistan prime minister, via diplomatic means and channels,” Ghani’s office said in a statement.

Trump also said Pakistan would help the US “extricate” itself from Afghanistan, adding there was “tremendous potential” in the relationship between Washington and Islamabad.

Afghanistan has long blamed Pakistan for fuelling the Afghan conflict and for supporting the Taliban, and Ghani is furious about being

Kim inspects new submarine amid stalled talks with US

Seoul, Jul 23 (IANS): North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has inspected a recently built submarine, indicating a potential continuation of a submarinelaunched ballistic missile programme amid stalled dialogue with the US. North Korean state media KCNA on Tuesday showed Kim inspecting the submarine, and said its operational deployment in the waters of Sea of Japan (called the East Sea on the Korean Peninsula) is “near”. Kim learned about its operational and tactical data and combat weapons system after the submarine was built under his “special attention”, KCNA said.

“He expressed great satisfaction over the fact that the submarine was designed and built to be capable of fully implementing the military strategic intention of the Party under various circumstances,” KCNA said referring to Kim. The im-

ages show the submarine in a covered dry dock facility, but neither the date of Kim’s visit nor the location of the vessel were disclosed by the state media.

Experts indicated that the location could be the Sinpo South Shipyard and the submarine could be an updated version of the Sinpo-C class, NK News reported.

In June, specialist website 38 North reported that there was “continuing submarine construction of possibly another SINPO-class ballistic missile submarine” at the base.

Tuesday’s report highlighted the potential continued progress of a submarinelaunched ballistic missile (SLBM) programme, while a recent agreement with US President Donald Trump on the inter-Korean border to resume denuclearization dialogue does not appear to have begun, Efe news reported.

continually sidelined by the US in ongoing peace talks with the Taliban.

Pakistan was the Taliban’s chief sponsor when it took power in neighbouring Afghanistan during the 1990s. Its influence over the group, which has waged an insurgency since it was ousted from power by USled forces in 2001, is seen as key in facilitating a political settlement with Ghani’s government.

“While the Afghan government supports the US efforts for ensuring peace in Afghanistan, the government underscores that foreign heads of state cannot determine Afghanistan’s fate in absence of the Afghan leadership,” Ghani’s office said.

Everyday Afghans took to social media to vent after Trump’s comments.

“I feel shocked, threatened and humiliated. We trusted Americans to help us in the war against terror, and now President Trump is threatening us with genocide,” Facebook user Mohd Farhad wrote.

China’s most controversial premier Li Peng dies at 90 Beijing, Jul 23 (PTI): China’s former premier Li Peng, regarded as a staunch supporter of the ruling Communist Party’s iron-fisted clampdown on the pro-democracy student protests at the Tiananmen Square in 1989, died in Beijing, officials said here on Tuesday.

Li died of illness in Beijing at the age of 91 on Monday night, an official statement said.

Li visited India in 2001 as the Chairman of the Standing Committee of China’s National People’s Congress, the communist nation’s Parliament.

State-run news agency Xinhua described Li as “a loyal communist warrior” and “an outstanding leader of the Communist Party and the state”. However, he is widely known as the “Butcher of Beijing” for his hard-line approach to quell the 1989 protests at the Tiananmen Square in which hundreds of people were reportedly killed.

Born in 1928 in the family of a Communist revolutionary, Li became an orphan after his father was executed by the previ-

ous Kuomintang government. He was raised by former Chinese premier Zhou Enlai and his wife Deng Yingchao and grew up to become one of China’s most prominent and controversial leaders.

However Li dismissed as rumours that he was the adopted son of the late premier Zhou, although he said he was close to him and Deng.

In his memoir published in 2014, Li wrote that his relation with Zhou and Deng was like “a relationship between old comrades and martyrs’ descendants.”

“Some say I was the adopted son of premier Zhou. It is not correct,” Li wrote.

Washington/ Beijing, Jul 23 (IANS/ AFP): The US has imposed sanctions on a Chinese stateowned company for allegedly violating the restrictions imposed on the purchase of Iranian oil, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a speech in Florida.

Pompeo said that as part of a “maximum pressure campaign”, the US was imposing sanctions against the Chinese company Zhuhai Zhenrong and its Chief Executive Youmin Li, accusing them of violating US law by accepting crude oil from Iran. “We can’t tolerate more money going to the ayatollah...,” he said during a speech at the 120th Annual Convention of Veterans of Foreign Wars in Orlando on Monday.

The US Department of Treasury included Youmin Li and the company he runs on its Iran-related Specially Designated Nationals List on Monday.

In May 2018, the US announced that it was withdrawing from a multilateral nuclear deal with Iran because Iranian authorities were violating the spirit

of the treaty with the purpose of secretly developing nuclear weapons. In November 2018, it reinstated sanctions on the export of Iranian crude oil, although it granted China, the country’s main oil buyer, a six-month exemption in order to find alternative suppliers.

Monday’s announcement marks an escalation of tensions between Washington and Tehran after several attacks on ships, the shooting down of a US drone and the seizure by Iranian forces of a British tanker in the Persian Gulf last week.

US President Donald Trump said on Monday that he was seeing it increasingly difficult to reach an agreement with Iran that would make it possible to lower the escalation of tension between the two countries because, according to him, Tehran “disrespected” Washington.

The President made these statements shortly after accusing Iran on Twitter of lying about having arrested 17 Iranian citizens working for the Central Intelligence Agency. “The report of Iran capturing CIA spies is

totally false. Zero truth. Just more lies and propaganda (...) Iran is a total mess!”

Trump tweeted.

US sanctions on Chinese oil trader ‘illegal’: Beijing

China on Tuesday called US sanctions against Chinese companies “illegal”, a day after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced he was putting a leading oil importer on a blacklist. Pompeo said Monday that the US was imposing sanctions on Zhuhai Zhenrong and its chief executive Li Youmin as part of a “maximum pressure campaign” for trading in Iranian crude oil.

“They violated US law by accepting crude oil,” he said. But Beijing said Tuesday it has “consistently and resolutely opposed unilateral sanctions imposed by the United States,” slamming the sanctions as “illegal”.

“The Chinese side has expressed firm opposition and strong condemnation of the relevant US authorities that have sanctioned Chinese enterprises,” said foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying at a regular press briefing.

ISI info helped CIA track down Osama: Imran Khan S. Korea fires 360 warning

Washington, Jul 23 (PTI): Pakistan’s powerful spy agency ISI provided information to the CIA which helped the US track down and kill al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, Prime Minister Imran Khan said Monday in a significant revelation as Islamabad had so far denied having any knowledge of the terror chief until he was shot dead in 2011.

Khan, who is visiting Washington on his maiden official trip, revealed this during an interview with Fox News when he was asked whether his country would release jailed Pakistani surgeon Shakeel Afridi who helped the CIA track down Osama.

Khan’s statement is significant because Pakistan had so far denied that it had any information about the hideout of Osama before he was killed in a covert raid by a US Navy SEAL team in Abbottabad, a garrison town north of Islamabad, on May 2, 2011. “It was ISI

Imran Khan (File)

that gave the information which led to the location of Osama bin Laden. If you ask CIA it was ISI which gave the initial location through the phone connection,” Khan said.

Responding to questions, Khan was reluctant to give any commitment on the release of Pakistani doctor Afridi. US President Donald Trump is seeking his release. Khan said that the release of Afridi is an “emotive issue” for Pakistan as in Pakistan he is considered a spy for the US. “We in Pakistan always felt that we were an

ally of the US and if we had been given the information about Osama, we should have taken him out,” he said.

Khan said that Pakistan was fighting the war against terrorism for the US. The raid and killing of Osama, he said “hugely embarrassed Pakistan”.

“Here we were an ally of the US and the US did not trust us. And they actually came and bombed and killed a man in our territory,” Khan said. When pointed out that Osama was not just a man, but a terrorist who killed more than 3,000 Americans, Khan said that Pakistan lost 70,000 people in this fight.

“We were fighting this war for the US and we lost all these people fighting this war. So there was obviously a lot of anger about the way this whole thing was done.

But you know, that’s all in the past,” Khan said.

When the interviewer asked, “You are the prime minister, you can make a

decision catch.,” Khan said, “There’s some decisions that are democracy which even a prime minister finds it difficult, because we do have an opposition. But this is something that can be negotiated over time.”

Khan said he would be willing to consider releasing Afridi in exchange for Pakistani neuroscientist Aafia Siddiqui, who is serving an 86-year US prison sentence after her 2010 conviction of shooting at FBI agents and soldiers.

“So, we could negotiate some sort of swap,” Khan said, adding that this was not talked about during his meeting with President Trump in the White House.

The negotiations for swap of Afridi and Siddiqui could take place in the future, he said. “We can negotiate. I mean, no negotiations have started,” Khan said.

shots at Russian aircraft

Seoul, Jul 23 (IANS): South Korea fighter jets fired 360 warning shots at a Russian A-50 military aircraft after it twice violated the country’s airspace on Tuesday, military officials here said.

The first incursion was made around 9.09 a.m. (local time) in the Sea of Japan (called the East Sea by the Koreans) near the Dokdo islets, according to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Seoul scrambled fighter jets in response to the violation of its air defence identification zone (ADIZ).

South Korea deployed several F-15 and F-16 fighters that fired flares and warning shots after issuing warning messages.

The Russian aircraft left South Korea’s airspace within minutes but committed another similar vio-

lation around fifteen minutes later, officers of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told Yonhap news agency.

At around 9.33 a.m., it entered Korea’s air defence identification zone.

Following further military actions, the Russian aircraft left the airspace four minutes later. It finally flew out of the air defence zone at 9.56 a.m.

Russia, however, denied violating the South Korea’s airspace.

Moscow said two of its bombers carried out a planned drill over “neutral waters” and denied any warning shots were fired by South Korean jets.

It is the first time that a Russian military aircraft has violated South Korean sovereign airspace, though Russian planes have entered Korea’s ADIZ in the past.

Islamabad, Jul 23 (IANS): Setting a new ‘record’, Pakistan has taken $16 billion in foreign loans, mostly from China or the Gulf monarchies, in one financial year, mainly to service the interest on existing loans and to pay for imports, media reports said. As per documents of the Federal government, all the loans were taken in financial year 2018-19, which includes 11 months of the Imran Khanled Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf party government, the Express Tribune reported.

According the report, the PTI government accounted for $13.6 billion of the loans - the most by any government in a single year, while the remaining amount had been received in July 2018 when the caretaker setup was in place. Though the $16 billion loans includes $5.5 billion received from Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar, this will, as per sources, not be included in the figures of Federal government loans to be published by the Economic Affairs Ministry this week and come up in the balance sheet of the State Bank of Pakistan.

Thus, the data will show the amount of loans at only $10.5 billion, the report said. However, justifying the omission, Finance Ministry spokesman Khaqan Najeeb said that these deposits “were not available for financing the government’s budgetary operations” and thus “part of the SBP reserves”.

Anderson ruled out of Ireland Test Lo n do n , J u l 2 3 (Agencies): James Anderson has been ruled out of England’s four-day Test against Ireland at Lord’s starting on Wednesday due to a right calf injury. The pacer has failed to recover from the injury sustained when playing for his county Lancashire against Durham on July 2.

“Jimmy will continue to be assessed” ahead of the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston on August 1, an England and Wales Cricket Board statement said on Tuesday.

Chief selector Ed Smith stated last week that Anderson would not be risked ahead of the Ashes series.

Anderson, 36, no longer plays One-day international cricket so did not play in the World Cup.

Lo n do n , J u l 2 3 (Agencies): Ben Stokes says he is flattered to be nominated for the New Zealander of the Year award but has pulled out of the running after saying it does not ‘sit right’.

Stokes, who was born in Christchurch but moved to Durham in England at the age of 12, was nominated after helping England to victory in the Cricket World Cup final earlier this month.

He made 84 against New Zealand in the final at Lord’s and then returned to the crease with Jos Buttler as England won with victory in the Super Over.

The England allrounder says he is honoured to be recognised but that it did not feel right to be named on the list.

“I am flattered to be nominated for New Zealander of the Year,” Stokes said in an official statement.

“I am proud of my New Zealand and Maori heritage but it would not sit right with me to be nomi-

nated for this prestigious award. There are people who deserve this recognition more and have done a lot more for the country of New Zealand.”

“I have helped England lift a World Cup and my life is firmly established in the UK - it has been since I was 12 years old.”

Stoke instead has urged the award to go to New Zealand captain Kane Williamson, who was named player of the tournament at the World Cup. “I feel the whole country should align their sup-

port to New Zealand captain Kane Williamson. He should be revered as a Kiwi legend. He led his team in this World Cup with distinction and honour.

He was the player of the tournament and an inspirational leader of men.”

“He shows humility and empathy to every situation and is an all-round good bloke. He typifies what it is to be a New Zealander. He would be a worthy recipient of this accolade. New Zealand, fully support him. He deserves it and gets my vote,” added Stokes.

Malinga to play T20s after quitting ODIs C O L O M B O, J u l 2 3 (Agencies): Veteran Sri Lankan pace bowler Lasith Malinga Tuesday confirmed he will retire from one-day international cricket after the first match against Bangladesh but hopes to play T20 cricket.

Malinga invited fans to his farewell ODI at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Friday and said the cricket board agreed to his request to retire from the 50-over format of the game.

Posting a video message to his fans on his wife’s Facebook page, Malinga said he felt no ill will towards officials and players who may have tried to push him out of the team.

The 35-year-old said he was sidelined by selectors two years ago but was able to prove his value to the national team at the recent World Cup. “Friday will be

Lasith Malinga

the last day you will see me playing a ODI match,” Malinga said. “If you can, please come for the match.”

During practice Tuesday ahead of the first ODI against Bangladesh, Malinga said he hoped to play

T20 cricket and had his sights on the 2020 World Cup in Australia.

“I hope to be able to take Sri Lanka to the next T20 World Cup,” he said.

“I hope I will have an opportunity to play in that tournament, but if there are better players than me, I don’t mind being left out.”

Malinga’s retirement was first announced by skipper Dimuth Karunaratne, who on Monday told reporters the right-arm fast bowler indicated Friday’s match would be his last ODI appearance.

Malinga was named to the 22-man Sri Lanka squad for the series with matches scheduled for July 26, 28 and 31 at the R. Premadasa Stadium. He will leave as Sri Lanka’s third-highest wicket-taker in ODI cricket with 335 wickets in 219 innings so far.

Only Muttiah Muralitharan (523) and Chaminda Vaas (399) have taken more wickets than Malinga in ODIs for Sri Lanka.

Malinga retired from Test cricket in 2011 but continued to remain available in other formats.

In the mixed doubles pair of Ashwini Ponappa and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy also advanced to the second round with an easy win over Germany’s Linda Efler and Marvin Seidel.

The Indian pair defeated the duo of Efler-Seidel 21-14, 21-19 in 33 minutes.

However, there was disappointment in the men’s doubles event as India’s Attri Manu and Reddy B. Sumeeth lost to the Malaysian pair of Goh Sze Fei and Nur Izzuddin 12-21, 16-21 in a match when was played for less than an hour.

On Wednesday, ace Indian shuttlers P.V. Sindhu and Kidambi Srikanth will begin their tournament campaign in their respective events. Sindhu will face China’s Yue Han, while Srikanth will lock horns with compatriot H.S. Prannoy. Sameer Verma will also compete with Denmark’s Anders Antonsen in his opening round clash.

With all the newlybuilt and refurbished venues on track to be completed on schedule, organisers are heading into the final straight with few major headaches.

But it has not always been plain sailing. Tsunekazu Takeda resigned this year as president of the Japanese Olympic Committee follow-

ing allegations of suspected corruption related to the bid, and in 2015 organisers had to scrap the original logo over accusations of plagiarism.

There are also concerns over how hot Tokyo may be for athletes and spectators.

A record heat wave in July 2018 killed over a dozen people in Tokyo, with monthly average temperatures reaching more than 30 degrees for the first time since 1998.

“Discussions were taken here to confirm that spectators will be allowed to take their own water into venues, the coverage for folk lining up to get into venues was explained and looks good,” said Coates.

Coates also mentioned air-conditioned lounges for the athletes and ice baths both at the athlete village and at the venues. “All of that attention is being given.”

On Wednesday, the landmark celebrations will see the designs for the Games’ medals unveiled.

David de Gea

Shanghai, Jul 23 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : M a n chester United goalkeeper David de Gea, reported to be on the verge of agreeing a six-year contract extension, has said he would welcome being captain of the Premier League club.

De Gea, 28, has long been linked with a move away from Old Trafford but said he wanted to help the team return to the summit of English soccer at a supporters’ event in Singapore.

United’s previous captain Antonio Valencia left at the end of last season and De Gea is one of sev-

eral players in the frame to replace him along with Ashley Young, Juan Mata, Chris Smalling and Paul Pogba.

“I’ve been captain for some games. Of course it is amazing to be captain of a club like Manchester United and defend this badge,” De Gea said.

“It’s amazing, so of course I’ll be really, really happy to captain. It’s my ninth season, I feel like one of the most experienced players. We have to improve a lot. We are Manchester United, we need to fight for trophies. When you put on this badge, that’s what it means — fight for everything, give your best and bring the team again to the top.”

United, who have not lost a match on their preseason tour so far, beating Perth Glory, Leeds United and Inter Milan, take on Tottenham Hotspur in Shanghai on Thursday.

Tokyo, Jul 23 (IANS): Andrés Iniesta has been named the latest ‘La Liga Icon, a La Liga initiative to continue growing worldwide driven by the popularity of players like the FC Barcelona legend.

“We are delighted to have Andrés Iniesta on board as a La Liga Icon” said La Liga President, Javier Tebas. “He is a player who inspires millions and is a fantastic representative for what La Liga stands for across the globe.”

The La Liga Icons initiative aims to expand the La Liga brand through a strategy focused on digital dissemination, maximising La Liga content and taking advantage of synergies between social networks, allowing La Liga to connect with fans globally.

But once Chelsea got their bearings, they controlled the first half against a strong Barca side, albeit playing their first game of

pre-season, who struggled to deal with a high press and compact defence.

The Blues’ full-backs bombed on with aplomb and should have led when Emerson found Christian Pulisic inside the box, and his shot was turned away straight into Abraham’s path. The striker had an open goal to aim at - but lifted his first-time effort over the bar.

Abraham made no mistake second time around when Chelsea’s high press worked to perfection, as Jorginho caught Sergio Busquets in possession and played Abraham through, and he calmly rounded Ter Stegen and fired in the opener.

The first half provided little attacking opportunity for Barca after that early header, with debutant Antoine Griezmann frustrated by the Blues’ stout defence, but straight from the restart they began to probe more intensely, and Malcom fired wide of the near post

within two minutes.

Young winger Carles Perez had two decent opportunities to test Kepa but fired straight at the Chelsea goalkeeper both times, before Carles Alena forced him into a sprawling save.

Chelsea’s attacking intent had been stunted since the break but they nearly doubled their lead in a rare break when Michy Batshuayi was played in from the left and from a close-range shot straight at Neto.

That came shortly before Chelsea did add a second of the game, when Barkley received the ball from Marcos Alonso and rattled the ball inside Neto’s near post, with the goalkeeper unsighted by Jean-Clair Todibo.

There was finally something for Barcelona when Rakitic took aim when given too much space 20 yards out a minute into injury time, and duly beat Kepa with a rising drive into the top corner.

“Hard to believe it’s been a week since that incredible Final at Lords. I think it was both the best and worst day of my cricketing life! So many different emotions, but mainly proud to represent New Zealand and play for the Black Caps alongside a great group of mates. Thank you to everyone for all your support, it has been amazing,” Guptill said in an emotional Instagram post on Tuesday.

the end of the allotted 100 overs and the subsequent Super Overs.

It was Guptill’s throw which hit the bat of Ben Stokes that went for a boundary in the 50th over during England’s chase of 242.

The umpire had awarded six runs to the England team which turned the course of the game towards the hosts.

In the Super Over, Guptill was run-out on the last ball chasing England’s target of 16. The Super Over also ended in a tie, denying Black Caps the chance to lift their first World Cup trophy.

Cristiano Ronaldo Washington, Jul 23 (Agencies): Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo will face no charges in Las Vegas in connection with a 10-year-old sexual assault allegation because the case cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, prosecutors said on Monday.

Ronaldo, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest soccer players of all time and plays for the Italian club Juventus, has maintained he is innocent.

Kathryn Mayorga filed a civil lawsuit in September 2018 in state court in Ne-

vada accusing the athlete of raping her in a Las Vegas hotel penthouse suite in 2009, then paying her $375,000 in hush money.

A woman called Las Vegas police on June 13, 2009 to report that she had been sexually assaulted and police took her to the hospital for an examination, the Clark County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement on Monday. She declined to identify the person who she said assaulted her.

The statement did not identify the woman, but Mayorga’s civil lawsuit mir-

rors the allegation outlined by prosecutors.

Mayorga and Ronaldo reached a civil settlement in 2010 and law enforcement did not hear again from her until Aug. 28, 2018, when she asked police to reopen the investigation. She said Ronaldo was the person who sexually assaulted her, prosecutors said.

Las Vegas police on July 8 asked the Clark County District Attorney’s Office to prosecute the case.

“Based upon a review of the information presented at this time, the allegations of sexual assault against Cristiano Ronaldo cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt,” the District Attorney’s Office said in a statement on Monday.

Ronaldo’s attorney, Peter Christiansen, did not return calls. Attorneys for Mayorga could not be reached for comment.

Las Vegas police said in January they had formally asked Italian authorities to obtain a DNA sample from Ronaldo.

Police did not immediately respond on Monday to emails asking if they ever obtained the DNA. The civil lawsuit, in which Mayorga sought more than $200,000 in damages, has been moved to federal court.

Mayorga and Ronaldo, according to the suit, met in Las Vegas at a nightclub before she joined a group of people going to his penthouse suite to view the Las Vegas Strip.
