Pak SC disqualitifes PM Shariff

ISLAMABAD, JUL 28 (AGENCIES): Pakistan’s Supreme Court on Friday disqualified Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for dishonesty and ruled that corruption cases be filed against him and his children over the Panama Papers scandal, forcing the embattled leader to resign.

It is the third time that the 67-year-old veteran politician’s term as premier has been cut short. The muchawaited verdict plunged Pakistan into a political crisis at a time when the country is facing a brittle economy and a surge in militancy.

As the unanimous verdict by the five-judge bench was read out by Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan inside the packed courtroom 1 of the Supreme Court, a large number of opposition Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf workers celebrated outside chanting the slogan, ‘Go, Nawaz, Go’. The court disqualified Sharif under Article 62 and 63 of Pakistan’s Constitution. The articles state that a member of Parliament should be “truthful” and “righteous”. “He is disqualified as a member of the parliament so he has ceased to be holding the office of

Prime Minister,” Justice Khan said. The court ordered the Election Commission to issue a notification for Sharif ’s disqualification.

Following the order, the Election Commission denotified Sharif from NA-120 constituency (in Lahore).

The federal Cabinet also stands dissolved.

Though there was no official announcement, PML-N sources said She-

hbaz Sharif, the younger brother of Nawaz, was most likely to succeed him as Prime Minister after the court verdict. The next general election is in 2018 and a new prime minister needs to be elected by PML-N to steer the government for about a year till the polls.

However, a name has not been announced for the interim prime minister, who will fill the 45-day vacuum

until Shehbaz, 65, is elected to a National Assembly seat. The court verdict said that having furnished a false declaration under solemn affirmation, Sharif was “not honest” under terms of the Constitution.

Supreme Court disqualified him for failing to declare the “receivable” salary from a UAE-based company of his son in the 2013 nomination paper. The court termed the salary which was not paid to Sharif as an “asset”. Sharif has maintained that there has not been any wrongdoing on his part.

Following the court verdict, a spokesperson of Pakistan Muslims League Nawaz (PML-N) said in a statement that Sharif had stepped down as the Prime Minister.

Despite reservations regarding different phases of the Panama case proceedings, the decision of the apex court will be implemented, the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson claimed that during the course of the proceedings of the case, new precedence were set which have not been seen in the history of the country. The Supreme Court also ordered the Na-

Chumu bodies Speaker cannot appoint reaffirm on tax Chief Whip, says Sorabjee DIMAPUR, JUL 28 (NPN): Chumoukedima frontal organisations have reaffirmed to stand by February 13, 2014 resolution of “One government one tax”.

This was reaffirmed at an emergency meeting of the frontal organisations at Chumukedima on July 23, 2017. In a joint statement, the frontal organisations also affirmed that any group trying to forcibly impose tax in Chumoukedima would be treated as “fake nationalist, imposter” and the public would be forced to unitedly defend themselves from “such wolfs in sheep’s skin.”

While asserting that they were anxiously waiting for early, lasting and honourable settlement from the Government of India, the organisations also requested different factions to “bury their petty differences and reunite” as their goal was same. The joint statement was issued by Hd.GBs of Chumoukedima town, Chumoukedima village, new Chumoukedima village; chairmen of Chumoukedima A village, Chumoukedima village, new Chumoukedima village, Tribal union Chumoukedima president, Chumoukedima mothers association president, CCTCA president, CTYO president and CTSU president.

This is it!

DIMAPUR, JUL 28 (NPN): S enior advocate of the Supreme Court and former Attorney General of India, Soli J. Sorabjee has opined that the Nagaland Legislative Assembly Speaker, had no legal competence to confirm the appointment of T.R. Zeliang’s claim of being appointed Chief Whip of the NPF party.

Sorabjee gave his opinion in a written text in response to request from NPF Central spokesperson Achumbemo Kikon regarding the matter of appointment of party Whip in the State Assembly.

Also, to the issue of whether tentative formation of new political party by breaking away by NPF dissident MLAs from NPF party subsequent to defiance of present NPF party Chief Whip’s direction during the floor test entitled them for disqualification from the NPF, Sorabjee opined that since the MLAs were members of the NPF, “they are bound to abide by the Constitution of the Party which mandates loyalty and allegiance to the party and not to

any individual.”Sorabjee pointed out that it is the political party and not the legislature party, that appoints the Whip, as the person authorized by the political party to issue directions regarding voting in the house.

He said only NPF party would be the competent to appoint its Whip for issuing directions to its legislators. In this regard, he said all NPF members, including the NPF Legislature Party were bound by the directions issued by Kiyanilie Peseyie, the Whip appointed by the party.

He said it was open to the NPF to pass necessary orders to the members of the NPF who are currently legislators, for defiance of directions of the Chief Whip of the party during the no confidence moved by T.R. Zeliang on July 22, 2017. Consequently, he said “the legislators who defied the Chief Whip direction and voted in favour of T.R. Zeliang are liable to be disqualified under Schedule X of the Constitution of India.”

tional Accountability Bureau to start a corruption case against Sharif, his children -- Hussain and Hassan -- and his daughter Maryam.

The Supreme Court ordered that the cases against them be registered within six weeks and trial be completed within six months after the registration of the cases.

The court also ordered a criminal investigation into the assets of Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, Sharif ’s trusted aide, and Captain Muhammad Safdar, who is Sharif ’s son-in-law and a Member of National Assembly (MNA). Earlier, media reports in Pakistan had said that they had been disqualified. Contrasting reactions to the verdict were witnessed in Pakistan with workers and supporters of both opposition and the ruling party taking to the streets to either condemn or celebrate the apex court’s landmark decision.

Pakistan Tehreek-eInsaf (PTI) workers and supporters celebrated the decision while in Lahore, considered to be Sharif ’s bastion, PML-N workers blocked major city roads to protest the verdict.

93 Parliamentary Secretaries may lose jobs in five NE states GUWAHATI, JUL 28 (AGENCIES): Ninety-three parliamentary secretaries across five North Eastern states stand to lose their jobs after the Supreme Court on Wednesday scrapped the Assam Parliamentary Secretaries (Appointment, Salaries, Allowances and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act of 2004, The Indian Express report stated.

The apex court while passing the order said that the state Assembly was not competent to pass such an Act. With the apex court scrapping the Assam Act, similar Acts in the other states too now automatically become null and void.

At 31, Arunachal Pradesh has the highest number of parliamentary secretaries. It is followed

by Nagaland with 26 such offices, Meghalaya (17) Manipur (12) and Mizoram (7).

While Tripura has never appointed a parliamentary secretary, the present BJPled government in Assam has also not appointed any till now. All these states had enacted their respective Acts to appoint parliamentary secretaries with the intention

of accommodating legislators who did not find place in ministries after the 91st Amendment to the Constitution that had restricted the size of ministries to a maximum of 15 per cent of the total Assembly strength, the report stated.

A three-judge bench comprising Justices J Chelameswar, R K Agarwal and Abhay Manohar Sapre also said that Article 194 of the Constitution does not authorise the State Legislatures to create such offices — of Parliamentary Secretaries.

The apex court judgment was issued in connection with a writ petition filed by former Assam BJP MLA Bimolangshu Dey, who had in 2005 filed a writ petition in the Gauhati High Court challenging the Constitutional validity the Act that created posts of Parliamentary Secretaries.

Meanwhile, according to the Hindustan Times reports, the ruling BJP government in Assam will not have any bearing as it has not appointed any parliamentary secretary so far.

But it’s likely to affect, among others, neighbouring

Nitish-BJP win Bihar floor test with 131 votes NEW DELHI, JUL 28 (AGENCIES): As was widely expected, the Nitish Kumar-BJP combine won the crucial floor test in the Bihar Assembly with a convincing margin of 131 votes. The RJD-Congress combine got 108 votes.

Nitish-BJP needed 122 members’ support for a win in the 243-member House.

In the Bihar Assembly, the RJD has 80 MLAs, the Congress 27 and the CPI-ML three, which adds up to 110. The Opposition got three short of that total.

“Secularism should not be allowed to justify corruption,” Nitish said earlier in the House, attempting to justify his shock resignation as CM and his break from the ‘grand alliance’ on Wednesday evening.

Nitish resigned as CM on Wednesday evening. A few hours later, the BJP and its allies told the Bihar governor they would support Nitish. He was sworn in chief minister yet again on Thursday morning.

Nitish ended weeks of spec-

ulation that the ‘grand alliance’ of the Congress, RJD and JD (U) will split, after the RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav refused to quit after being named in a corruption case by the CBI. The BJP’s Sushil Modi, who was sworn in as deputy chief minister, thanked the Opposition RJD and Congress on Friday.

“Would like to thank Congress and RJD, if Tejashwi had resigned I would not have been here,” Modi said. He was referring to the man who held his post a scant two-and-a-half days ago.

The RJD said Nitish would have lost the trust vote “had there been a secret ballot”.

“The mandate was for the ‘grand alliance’, today Nitish and the BJP have insulted that mandate,” said Tejashwi, the former deputy chief minister of the state, who ended up on the losing side.

Earlier, RJD legislators staged protests outside the Bihar assembly on Friday ahead of the

floor test of the Nitish Kumar government and described him as the “Chief Minister of the Sangh”.

Shouting slogans and carrying placards, the RJD legislators stood at the main entrance of the assembly, protesting against Nitish Kumar.

Former deputy chief minister Tejashjwi Yadav also joined them.

He accused Nitish Kumar of cheating the people of Bihar and called him “Chief Minister of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)”.

“He cheated and betrayed the people of the state who gave him massive mandate. He played dirty politics. He just looked for an excuse to defame us and join the NDA,” Tejashwi said before entering the House.

“Everyone can see how he switched sides. Earlier he used to speak of Sangh-mukt Bharat and now he is the chief minister of the Sangh. He has changed his stand from ‘Hey Ram’ to ‘Jai Shri Ram’,” he said.

dead and superannuated employees and immediate implementation of 2007 pay scale to the NPPC Ltd employees since the 2007 pay scale was being paid to the officers deputed to NPPC Ltd from other Hin-

dustan Paper Corporation (HPC) units.

Failure to meet their demands by August 10, 2017, the WU-NPPCL resolved to impose an indefinite blockade on the NH-61 at Tzudikong (Paper Mill)

area from 5 a.m. of August 11, 2017.

In this regard, the union said it has already communicated to the chairman-cum-managing director of Hindustan Paper Corporation.

DIMAPUR, JUL 28 (NPN): Supreme Court of India on July 28, admitted the Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed by Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) against holding bye-election to the 10-Northern Angami-I Assembly Constituency on July 29 by issuing notice to the Election Commission of India that the result of the by election would be subject to the outcome of the case.

NPCC through its media cell said it had filed a SLP against holding of bye-election, since it contravened the provisions under Section 255 of the Representations of the Peoples Act, 1951.

NPCC pointed out that Section 255 of the Representations of the Peoples Act, 1951 stated

that notwithstanding sections 147,149,150 and 151 by election for filling up any vacancy be referred to in as of the above sections within six month from the date of occurrence of vacancy.

Bye-election shall not be held if the remainder of the term of the member in relation to the vacancy is less than one year and (b) ECI in consultation with the central government certifies that it is difficult to hold by election within the said period.

It may be pointed out that the principal Bench of Gauhati High Court earlier this month ruled that “by elections can be held even if member’s remainder term is less than a year”.

NPCC had challenged the notification for holding

Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland which have 26 parliamentary secretaries, which is more than 43% of the total strength of the 60-member legislative assemblies of the two states.

As per the Act, a parliamentary secretary in Assam was given the rank and status of a minister of state and exercised such powers, functions and duties as were assigned by the chief minister.

As a consequence, in 2005 the then Tarun Gogoiled Congress government in Assam appointed eight parliamentary secretaries.

These appointments were challenged on the ground that it would amount to a violation of the constitutionally prescribed upper limit of 15% on the total number of council of ministers.

The bench noted in its judgement that at the time of the coming into force of 91st Constitutional Amendment Act, 2003, the strength of the council of ministers in Assam was at 36 out of a total 126 members which amounted to 28.57 per cent of the strength of the Legislative Assembly.

NAP wet ration suppliers demand

DIMAPUR, JUL 28 (NPN): Drawing the attention of the Director General of Police (DGP) Nagaland, the wet ration suppliers of NAP including IR Bn have expressed deep anguish over the non release of payment since October 2016 (10 months) including partial payment of June 2016. In a press release, H Vikugha Chophy, on behalf of all Nagaland wet ration suppliers, said despite non-release of payment, they have been continuing the supply of wet ration. He, however, said due to the blockade of their capital, the suppliers were facing financial issues and were not in a position to continue the supply of wet rations. The suppliers have therefore appealed to the competent authority to take note of their problems and release payment at the earli(Cont’d on p-7) est to continue the supply.

Abou said 98 blood samples of current and ex-drug users for HBV, Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and HIV test collected by ICMR from Kripa Foundation Drug Treatment cum Rehabilitation Centre and Kripa Drop-in Centre, reported 30.61% HCV reactive.

He said a study conducted on Hepatitis C by centre for AIDS research, Johns Hopkins University and YRG care Chennai showed that Dimapur town has 9.1% prevalence of HCV. Abou informed that two data sources on HCV

by Naga Hospital Authority of Kohima (NHAK) - MSD Pharma Company and NHAK project tested 728 individuals and 50 individuals were found to be HCV reactive. It also showed the presence of the

virus among the general population was 1.8%.

Pointing out that HCV is a major threat to public health and causes extreme economic and social burden, Abou lamented that though Nagaland government was committed to ending HIV, tuberculosis and malaria it was not combating viral hepatitis C and the epidemic has continued to spread.

He claimed that HCV prevalence among people who use drugs (PUDs) was ten times higher compared to HIV prevalence and that many infected with HCV are unaware, undiagnosed and untreated posing a great risk of further transmission to the general population.

Abou stressed on the importance of dealing HCV with urgency and establish strategies and

action plans to prevent further transmission of HCV. He also highlighted the importance of treatment for those who are living with HCV with the new Direct Acting Antiretroviral (DAA).

He urged the government of Nagaland to ensure increase prevention, diagnostic and treatment program for Hepatitis B and C. He further appreciated the government of Nagaland in taking the lead role in organizing this year’s World Hepatitis Day. In his presentation on “basics of hepatitis�, NHAK, jr. specialist, Dr. K. Vanlalruati Nyuthe said approximately 160-185 million people around the world have been infected with the HCV, of which 350000-500000 die each year.

He said India has very high burden of Hepatitis C, with prevalence of between 1-2 %. and estimated that 2,88,000 news HCV infection related deaths are estimated to be high as 96,000 every year. She said the prevalence high risk population include HCV antibodies in pregnant women 0.6-1.4% Dr. Nyuthe said Indian studies have demonstrated perinated transmis-

sion as high as 25% and India has an estimation of 1.1 million injection drug users (IDUS) and Nagaland is at 5.4-29.9 %, Manipur 56-98% and Mizoram 71%.

She said HCV transmission are through drug needles with an infected person, born to a mother who has hepatitis C (6% chances of getting transmitted from mother to child), use an infected person’s razor or toothbrush, tattooed or pierced with unsterilized tools and rarely, sexual transmission of Hepatitis C is possible.

Along with the hepatitis C, she also said that hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. Adult who get it for a short time and then get better is called acute hepatitis B and the virus causes a long term infection is called chronic hepatitis B. In HBV related disease burden in India, it has been estimated that 9 million will acquire HBV infection in their lifetime and 1507000 will develop chronic HBV infection.

In a presentation on “Hepatitis C treatment protocol�, Bethel Medical Centre, physician, Dr. Kejavisa Savino, said that all patients cannot receive treatment immediately and

priority should be given to patients with urgent need.

He said that treatment decisions should balance the anticipated reduction in transmission versus the likelihood of re-infection in patients whose risk of HCV transmission was high and in whom HCV treatment may result in a reduction in transmission.

Dr. Savino said the treatment goals should achieve the sustained eradication of HCV (i.e. SVR), which is defined as the persistent absence of HCV RNA in seren 3-6 months or more after completing antiviral treatment, prevent progression to cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and decompensated liner disease requiring liver transplantation.

He explained in detail all the protocol treatment of Hepatitis through slide show presentation.

Mission Director, NHM, Dr. Limaakum Jamir chaired the programme, Renbothung Nagaland Users Network shared treatment experience while NSACS, deputy director, Dr. Ruokuobeinuo Chielie proposed vote of thanks.

4 cops hurt in clashes with students in Imphal

Students protesting in Imphal on Friday. (NP) Correspondent

IMPHAL, Jul 28: Four policemen were Friday injured when students demanding withdrawal of an FIR case pelted stones at police team in Imphal.

Police recently lodged an FIR case against students protesting mass teacher transfer of some government schools in Imphal.

Demanding with drawal of the FIR case, students of various higher secondary schools in Imphal Friday protested on the street in front of their respective schools.

Protests at Keishampat, Uripok and Kh-

wairambandh Keithel areas were dispersed by the police without much effort.

However, protest by students of Johnston Higher Secondary School turned violent after the students pelted stones when police tried to prevent the students from agitating on the streets. Police had to resort to tear gas shelling after three policemen were hit by stones.

The students continued to protest on the streets in Imphal even as Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh had in the house of ongoing state Assembly on Thursday clarified that the FIR was lodged not for arrest of students but to

enquire over the matter.

Recently, state education department issued an order affecting mass reallocation of posting of teachers of various higher secondary schools. Government had said that it was part of government transfer and posting policy.

State principal secretary (education) Vineet Joshi had clarified that the transfers were carried out in the interest of the students. The transfer was affected after proper assessment based on the student’s strength and vacancy of the schools, he added.

However, students alleged that the transfer of teachers was untimely as it

was done during the middle of academic session.

Meanwhile, students of DM College of Arts, Imphal also staged a protest against the decision of the college authority inviting application for admission of more students after admission of first semester has already been completed. The students who came out on the streets to register their protest were blocked by the police resulting in a clash.

Several students sustained minor injuries in the clash. A policeman was also injured in the melee.

Later, talking to media persons, leader of the agitating students, L Nonglemba said that the decision of the college authority to enroll more students was unacceptable. He said that around 1000 students had already been admitted and the classes have commenced almost a month ago.

Nonglemba also said that the students have been facing lots of inconveniences due to inadequate numbers of benches and desks in classrooms. Concern departments should answer for failing to meet the needs of the students and the college, he insisted.

MNF supports NGO coordination committee demand: Zoramthanga Aizawl, Jul 28 (PTI): The Mizo National Front (MNF) Friday announced that it supports the appeal made by the NGO Coordination Committee to all the political parties not to field candidates belonging to Chakma community in the coming state Assembly polls scheduled to be held next year.

Former chief minister and MNF chief Zoramthanga said the NGO Coordination Committee’s appeal was supported by his party and the MNF wanted the NGO Coordination Committee to pursue the issue.

He also said that the party supported the demand to sack Fisheries Minister B D Chakma for his alleged “anti government and anti Mizo” activities.

He claimed that the MNF during peace talks with the government of

India had demanded that the Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC), which was imposed upon the people of Mizoram and was created without the consent of the Mizo people should be scrapped.

“The Centre refused to scrap the CADC as it was created by the Parliament with a constitutional amendment as it felt that it should send wrong signals to the people of the country,” he said. He said the MNF still demands that the CADC should be scrapped.

There are two assembly constituencies where Chakma candidates always won - Tuichawng and West Tuipui from where BD Chakma and former minister Nihar Kanti Chakma, both belonging to the ruling congress won the seats respectively in 2013 assembly polls.

Dear Baby Tongchari, Many many happy return’s of the day on your 1st birthday. May God bless you.

From, Abao, Oja and all the family members.

Assam Cong chief seeks action against VHP, Bajrang Dal

New Delhi, Jul 28 (IANS): The Congress’ Assam unit chief, Ripun Bora, said on Friday he had urged Home Minister Rajnath Singh to action against the Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) for “imparting arms training to their workers” in the state.

The Rajya Sabha MP told the media here that he had written to Rajnath Singh to demand a high-

level inquiry into what he called the unlawful activity of the two organisations that were dangerous to people’s lives. He demanded steps to prevent such training in future in the state.

In his letter dated July 26, released to the media on Friday, Bora said the Bajrang Dal and VHP, as part of their organisational work in Assam, recently imparted arms traning to

their workers at Nalbari and Hojai respectively by violating the law. Bora said he had sent along a video footage of arms training imparted to Bajrang Dal volunteers and women volunteers of ‘Durga Vahini’ of the VHP. He said the footage had since been aired in electronic media in Assam but the state government had not taken any action.

“The two organisations

have committed a serious offence by imparting training in arms and other lethal weapons to their workers. It is nothing but inciting and encouraging extremist activity,” the Congress leader said.

“The training has been imparted with a certain motive of attacking rival parties. This will jeopardise peace and tranquility in the state,” he added.

SC denies permission for rape survivor to abort fetus NEW DELHI, JUL 28 (AGENCIES): A 10-year old rape survivor, who is 32-week pregnant, will have carry pregnancy for the full term as the Supreme Court on Friday refused to grant her permission to abort the fetus saying that it was risky for the child to under medical termination at such advanced stage.

A bench of Chief Justice J S Khehar and Justice D Y Chandrachud relied on the medical report prepared by a medical board of PGI Chandigarh which recommended that the girl should be allowed to abort her pregnancy, arising out of rape.

The bench said that it was neither in the interest of the girl child nor for 32-week fetus to order abortion.

After a lower court refused to grant permission to a Chandigarh based 10year old rape survivor to abort her 26-week fetus, the Supreme Court had decided to help out the girl

Supreme Court of India and directed medical examination of the girl and her foetus at PGI. The Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971, permits abortion till the foetus is 20 weeks old. Three have been cases where rape victims approached the court to abort their unwanted pregnancies arising out of rape and the apex court has allowed their plea to terminate fetus beyond legally permissible period. Many rape victims

and women, who discover serious problem with their pregnancy after crossing 20 weeks period, have been moving the apex court seeking permission to undergo abortion.

Although the Centre had initiated the process to amend Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act, 1971 way back in 2014 but it is still waiting for Cabinet approval before it could be introduced in Parliament.

Centre protecting those named in Panama Papers leak: AAP

New Delhi, Jul 28 (IANS): The AAP on Friday accused the Central government of protecting industrialists, celebrities and family members of political leaders whose names have appeared in the Panama Papers leak.

The party said the Centre was “not acting” against such people despite there being serious charges against them.

The Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) reaction came after Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif resigned on Friday after the Supreme Court, in its ruling in what came to be known as the Panama Papers case, disqualified him from holding the post following a probe that revealed illegal family wealth stashed abroad. Se-

Ashutosh nior AAP leader Ashutosh cited Pakistan Supreme Court’s verdict to attack the Narendra Modi-led central government.

“Pakistan is known for its poor democracy but that nation’s apex court has set an example after disqualifying its Prime Minister after a probe that found allegations against the PM were true,” he said. Ashutosh

SC notice to Centre on plea challenging provisions of FA

Justice JS Khehar New Delhi, Jul 28 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Friday issued notice to the Central government on a petition challenging changes in the Finance Act, 2017 and saying new regime of appointment and removal of judges in tribunals introduced through the Act is grossly unconstitutional.

A bench, headed by Chief Justice J.S. Khehar, sought response from Law and Justice and Ministry of Finance Ministries within two weeks while hearing a plea filed by NGO Social Action for Forest and Environment (SAFE) which said the Act gives “unbridled and unguided authority” and discretion to frame rules of 19 tribunals. These amendments also transfer to the Central government the power to draft rules pertaining to the appointment, qualifications, terms of office and removal of the tribunal chairperson and members, it said. Advocate Vivek Chib, appearing for SAFE, said that there were various guidelines for appointment of judicial members in tribunals, and by snatching away the power of appointment from the judiciary, the Centre aims to centralise power.

said the names of around 500 influential persons including Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh’s son Abhishek Singh, Vinod Adani, brother of industrialist Gautam Adani, DLF’s owner K.P. Singh, actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Ajay Devgn etc. had appeared in the leak but the government was not taking action against them.

“Not to talk of action but the Narendra Modi government is not even taking cognizance of the charges against these people.

“India is considered among the nations with strong democracy but despite that no agency is ready to probe the charges of the Panama Papers (against the named persons),” he said.

The proposed bill intends to extend the permissible period for abortion from 20 weeks to 24 weeks if the pregnancy involves a substantial risk to the mother or the child. The amendment also allows to do away with the time limit for abortion in case substantial foetal abnormalities.

The court had earlier observed that the present law must be stretched to make it meaningful by allowing abortion beyond 20-weeks and SC in almost a dozen of cases allowed medical termination at advance stage beyond the legally permissible benchmark.

The apex court had in April last year allowed a 14-year-old rape survivor to abort her 24- weeks fetus.

Allowing her to undergo abortion, the court had observed that the life of the girl, a class X student in Ahmedabad, would be ruined and she would have to live her rest of the life with the social stigma associated with the child.

CBI files corruption case against senior Mumbai I-T officer Mumbai, Jul 28 (AGENCIES): The CBI today registered a corruption case against Vivek Batra, Mumbai Additional Commissioner of Income Tax (TDS wing), for amassing disproportionate assets to the tune of over Rs 6 crore and carried out searches in five cities in this connection.

Batra’s wife, Priyanka, several industrialists and a chartered accountant have also been named in an FIR, CBI spokesperson, R.K. Gaur said here today.

The 1992-batch Indian Revenue Service officer allegedly amassed disproportionate assets to the tune of Rs 6.79 crore between 2008 and 2017, he said.

The officer is facing CBI probe in another disproportionate assets case.

New cost effective vein-locating device launched Kochi, Jul 28 (IANS): Kochi-based Medtra Innovative Technologies has come out with a device to identify veins easily for intravenous treatment and at a cost lower than in the global market.

The device named Veineux was launched on Friday and is expected to make intravenous treatment easier and affordable for patients and hospitals. There are several issues with identifying veins for injecting medicines or drawing blood samples which get complicated if the vein is that of a child, an obese or aged person or the languid vein of a chemotherapy patient.

Such situations which warrant repeated slapping, pressing, warming and palpating the veins with repeated jabs are often clumsy and painful, with even experienced nurses and anesthetists finding it difficult to trace some veins, a statement said. Sujith Surendran, MD of Medtra Innovative Technologies, and Saj Sulaiman, chairman of the company, both of who are biomedical engineers, developed the new instrument.

Flood fury: 80 villages in Odisha marooned HUBANESWAR, JUL 28 (AGENCIES): Over 80 villages of Balasore district were marooned in Odisha on Friday with flood water of the Subarnarekha entering two blocks while Jajpur and Kendrapara district authorities were asked to remain on alert.

The flood situation, however, has improved in Bhadrak, Sundergarh and Jajpur districts with the receding of the water level of the Baitarani river.

While 63 villages have been inundated in Bhograi block, 20 villages of Balaipal block were marooned in Balasore district with flood water flowing 1.5 mt over the connecting roads.

The special relief commissioner’s (SRC) office, however, said their is a fear of flood in two blocks each of Jajpur and Kendrapara districts with the authorities opening 10 gates of Rengali reservoir.

Special relief commissioner (SRC) B P Sethi said, the district collectors of Jajpur and Kendrapara have been asked to remain on alert as the flood water released from the Rengali dam could hit the areas by this evening.

RJD MLAs protest against Nitish outside Bihar assembly PATNA, JUL 28 (AGENCIES): RJD legislators staged protests outside the Bihar assembly on Friday ahead of the floor test of the Nitish Kumar government and described him as the “Chief Minister of the Sangh”.

Nitish Kumar along with the BJP formed the new government on Thursday after dumping the RJD-Congress’ Grand Alliance on Wednesday.

Shouting slogans and carrying placards, the Rashtriya Janata Dal legislators stood at the main entrance of the as-

sembly, protesting against Nitish Kumar.

Former deputy chief minister Tejashjwi Yadav also joined them.

He accused Nitish Kumar of cheating the people of Bihar and called him “Chief Minister of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)”.

“He cheated and betrayed the people of the state who gave him massive mandate. He played dirty politics. He just looked for an excuse to defame us and join the NDA,” Tejashwi Yadav said before entering the House.

Destruction by floods in Odisha’s Rayagada district.

The blocks likely to experience fresh floods have been identified as Bari and Binjharpur in Jajpur district and Aul and Rajkanika blocks in Kendrapara district. So far four people have died in the Odisha floods, Sethi said. Meanwhile, the people evacuated

in Rourkela and Sundergarh have returned to their houses with the flood water receding in the Brahmani.

Some villages in Bonai block of Sundergarh were still inundated and it would take some more time for the water to be drained out of the villages, he said.

OFFICE OF THE AO STUDENTS’ UNION DIMAPUR H.Q Dimapur :-797112 Nagaland THEME:- For The Nation

The office of the Ao Students’ Union Dimapur is appalled by the manner in which two of its bonafide members were subjected to utter embarrassment due to the unprofessionalism displayed by employees of Bangkok Cafe and Cuisine (Dimapur) who uploaded images of two of its diners stating that they had forgotten a “very important thing”. What was even more humiliating was the fact that they declared a reward in the form of a special gift and meal voucher worth one thousand rupees to the person who leads the management to the said individuals.

The ASUD vehemently condemns the manner in which the diners were made to go through the harrowing experience of having their pictures circulated on Facebook and WhatsApp. It is to be mentioned that the diners had paid their bill in full and even left a tip graciously. It is simply baffling that the management committed such a shameful act without properly confirming the CCTV footages. Moreover, as per an agreement arrived between the management and the defamed party, it was understood that a public apology would be tendered by the former not only on Facebook but in the local dailies within a stipulated time frame of twenty four hours. While the incident occurred on 11.07.17 and enough time has lapsed, till date, no note of apology has been published by the management as agreed upon.

Such attitude of unprofessional standards is unexpected of a restaurant that boasts of being a family dining space. The ASUD demands that the management of Bangkok Cafe and Cuisine adhere to the terms of agreement which was settled with the diners and a befitting apology be published in the local dailies at the earliest, failing which would cost the restaurant its reputation among the general public.

DailyDevotion God’s Purpose or Mine?

He made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side… —Mark 6:45 We tend to think that if Jesus Christ compels us to do something and we are obedient to Him, He will lead us to great success. We should never have the thought that our dreams of success are God’s purpose for us. In fact, His purpose may be exactly the opposite. We have the idea that God is leading us toward a particular end or a desired goal, but He is not. The question of whether or not we arrive at a particular goal is of little importance, and reaching it becomes merely an episode along the way.

What we see as only the process of reaching a particular end, God sees as the goal itself.

What is my vision of God’s purpose for me? Whatever it may be, His purpose is for me to depend on Him and on His power now. If I can stay calm, faithful, and unconfused while in the middle of the turmoil of life, the goal of the purpose of God is being accomplished in me. God is not working toward a particular finish— His purpose is the process itself. What He desires for me is that I see “Him walking on the sea” with no shore, no success, nor goal in sight, but simply having the absolute certainty that everything is all right because I see “Him walking on the sea” (Mark 6:49). It is the process, not the outcome, that is glorifying to God. God’s training is for now, not later. His purpose is for this very minute, not for sometime in the future. We have nothing to do with what will follow our obedience, and we are wrong to concern ourselves with it. What people call preparation, God sees as the goal itself.

God’s purpose is to enable me to see that He can walk on the storms of my life right now. If we have a further goal in mind, we are not paying enough attention to the present time. However, if we realize that moment-bymoment obedience is the goal, then each moment as it comes is precious.

Post-mortem Leaders are chosen and not dictated From the parlance L of the common people

Vol. XXVII NO. 233 Dimapur, Saturday, JuLy 29, 2017

erhaps the people of Nagaland ought to subject their elected government to a reality check on facts with regard to the huge amount of money received from the government of India meant for the development of the state and also welfare of the people. As per the PIL filed by two petitioners- S.T.Yapang Longkumer and Odi Jamir, replies to their RTI applications on several departments reveal that drawals were issued for huge sum of money for various works during recent months. For instance, the finance department had purportedly disclosed it had issued 62 drawal authority to the department of Roads and Bridges from May 6,2016 to March 31,2017 for a whopping amount of Rs.342 crore 22 lakhs and 8 thousand. So much money meant to provide motorable roads and connecting bridges are not reflected on the ground.

Instead the pot holed roads have lost all evidence of being roads. In another PIL filed, the two petitioners also revealed that as per replies to RTI, the finance department had issued 73 drawal authority from April 21,2016 to March 31,2017 to the Department of School Education(DoSE) for an amount of Rs.248 crore, 67 lakhs and 76 thousand. Also, it was disclosed that the social welfare department had drawn a huge amount of Rs.222 crore 49 lakhs and 48,346 during ten months( possibly mid 2016 to March 2017) for clearing liabilities under wheat and nutrition programme, construction of park for persons with disabilities in Kohima district, orphanages, children’s home, observation and shelter homes etc and also purchase of food items under SNP and pension benefit to blind persons. Again under the Food and Civil Supplies department an amount of Rs.12,55,21,000 was drawn for purpose of printing ration cards, transportation of handling charges for food grains etc. Essentially, what the PIL can achieve is for a direction from the court to order investigation by the CBI. Any probe by the CBI would further unravel the mysterious manner in which colossal funds received from the Centre are gobbled up without physical evidence on the ground. Take the case of roads, a whopping Rs.342, 22,08,000 was drawn during ten months (may 2016-March 2017). In addition there drawal sanction for Rs.20 crore which was issued twice in 2016 and 2017 for the same divisions. Over and above, another Rs.5 crore was sanctioned for repair of road from Clock Tower junction to DC Court Junction Dimapur for work that was never done. Likewise, there are many other similar instances where money meant for development of infrastructure and other projects for the people, have been swindled. This is the reason why Nagaland has stagnated and its infrastructures crumbling. It is not because the Centre has not given any money. Rather the Centre since 2004 has been allocating sufficient funds as demanded but the huge cost do not measure up. It is quite strange that even after nearly 15 years during which the state received huge funds from the Centre, the state hasn’t been able to show any visible signs of having progressed.

States like Manipur, Meghalaya or Mizoram have received almost equal if not, slightly lesser amount but the infrastructures are visible-excellent roads, steady power supply, water supply and other basic amenities. One need only to look around who have the best cars, houses, cash and land to know who has been developed in Nagaland.

Q

uoting Hon’ble Mr. Justice Songkhupehung Serto from one of his speeches, “While the world is getting smaller in the palm of our hand, the Northeast is becoming more distanced with the rest of the world with the deplorable condition of our roads and other developments”, to this I realized how true it is especially when we look into the condition of our state. While time is becoming more precious, we waste sufficient time travelling through our pathetic road condition which is growing from bad to worse despite the hues and cries from all corners. We are no more as curious as we were to read the front page of our morning dailies, rather at this stage it irks us even to see the names of our so called respected leaders, not forgetting the news of their dramas and selfish games. On the other side the commoners are dying due to their selfishness and our leaders do not display even a slight sense of contrite. Even the percentage we offer to God as tithes is only ten percent, while the percentage siphoned off from the funds meant for development is exorbitantly much higher than God’s share.

God forbid but I fear that God’s wrath is upon us and only for few righteous people we are hanging by a thread of His mercy. The famous lines which we often use “Poisa khailebi kaam to olop toh kuribo lage toh” is the status of our attitude and our present condition is the result of such an attitude.

“Sop manu poisa olp olop khaishe aru etia toh eku bi nai hoishe.” Hon’bl Mr. Justice also mentioned that “development is in the attitude”. When we expressly or impliedly convey that our politicians, bureaucrats, village leaders and any responsible officer is bound to take some share than don’t

T

he Despicable and shameful affairs of the state all prodded under the banner ‘Nagaland for Christ’ has become more blasphemous than any act mentioned in the Bible.

The land of the Largest Baptist dominant state in the world has recently turn into the land of wolves and pythons ready to devour by themselves any pound of flesh send by the Hindu kingdom of Delhi, devoid of any Christian values and teachings.? The gospel of Jesus’s, ‘love thy neighbor..’ has been archived to be used only inside the Sunday church and in place , the proverbial ‘every man for himself ’ has remain relevant both in teachings and practice. This anti-Christian values, anti-poor and anti ‘common Good’ orientation all in the land for Christ has reached its crescendo under our low quality product leaderships and semi-literate Ali babas (with love from Akijeu khekiye k.Sema) which will surely invite the wraths of God as an unforgivable sin of blasphemy mentioned in Mathew 12:31.

The pseudo Righteous and the repulsive dhimmi attitude of few power mongering individuals using Christ’s name as shields to perverted their own selfish interest and sucked all dry of the state coffers, shamelessly pandering to vicious transnational loyalty to Hindutvas in power at Delhi and Bangladeshi and brown to white skinned baniyas with their plumb Bank accounts to run the state for Christ?

This group of notorious individuals and Christians in name and Mouth, hand in gloves with anti-christian cowboy from Delhi has become a protected club of disgusting ,decadent , repulsive old roués who can do as they please? and practised every form of perversion known to men

be surprised when we face this kind of horrible situation.

Their part is to take care of such responsibilities and they are paid for the same and as such they have no right to take even a penny out of the funds meant for the public. Today we are bowing down to our so called leaders not because of their uprightness; we are making way for them not out of the respect they deserve, but because they have money and they have the power to turn things in their favour.

Who among these people can rise above these crises and show a true leadership? Are our people short of good and honest leaders? No we are not, but the problem is those good and capable leaders do not have tons of money to feed our people during election and as for sure we the public will forget about the past and the present crises at the face of money; we will leave the topic of honesty and integrity under the table until we face similar situation after the election. This is the time to ponder on our past actions and take a whole new step if we want to see a better tomorrow. We need a batch of whole new generation leaders; we need young and honest leaders. If we allow money, promises for jobs and contract works to buy us during election, this is the result we will get and we can expect even worse, because the more money the corrupt leaders embezzle, the longer they will stay in power and destroy our land. Let us give chance to young leaders who are ready to bring a change; let us not underestimate them because they are young, for the hopes we put on our old leaders for such a long time did not work out. How long are we going to look up at the oversized storied buildings build by a mere assistants or clerks and nod in appreciation

saying “etu manu toh bishi smart ase”, or idolize the likes of such people? How long are we going to keep mum when the job we deserved is swerved away from us because we do not have a good background?

Our leaders need to listen to the indignation of the public before our condition get worse. How long are we going to say that it is a blessing from heaven when we get a backdoor appointment or a get a job out of bribery?

How long are the churches going to pray for the longevity and prosperity of the corrupt leaders instead of praying for heaven send honest leaders?

How long are the people and the church give a chief guest treatment to rich people inside the church while leaving God outside the door and showing desecration to holy places?

We seriously need to stop for a while and do a total check at our attitude.

The problem also lies because we are timid to boldly stand for the truth and we are afraid to say it even when we know that our rights have been infringed. We allow certain class of people to continually make us suffer while we only murmur and gossip about it behind closed doors. It’s time to take it to the streets, to the woods, to villages and to the world. There are still a sign of hope because of certain good leaders who have been incessantly voicing for us despite of various discouragements. If we cannot stand at the front, at least let us support those good leaders instead of finding a way to find fault. To those good leaders who have been fighting for the right cause, kudos to you; continue to stand for us because it is for you that we still have hope, that our land will not remain the same like it is today.

Zakato Chishi, Officers Hill, Kohima

eaders are either chosen or elected because they are either trained or born to lead. People see them as efficient to lead the society, thus, he/she is elected/chosen by the people. People chose a leader with one purpose and that is to lead them to a higher height of excellence for a holistic life/society. In a Christian state like ours, the models of a good leader can be best referred from the life of Jesus Christ. A person becoming a leader by force is a dictator and not a leader. How could one become a leader when people do not like him/her or if he/she is not efficient for the society?

How could a person buy himself/ herself leadership or position?? Oh! But sadly it happens here in Nagaland, a Christian state. Sadly, today, many Naga leaders are not a chosen leader but a dictated leader, either bought or taken by force. Oh! You (politicians) who are greedy for position and power should first be willing to serve the people and the society and ready to be a servant. Every aspirant politician should know that positions or leadership are to be chosen/ elected and not to be bought. How could you become a leader or force yourselves to be a leader when people do not need or like you anymore??

Dear Leaders of Nagaland (Politicians), are you a chosen leader or a dictated leader?? Buying oneself leadership is perhaps the most shameful act in a civilized world. Today, many of our leaders have lost the purpose of their position and power. The best example can be the present government who has lost the total sense of shame and responsibility. The present government has become a government for their profit or benefit alone and not for the people. How can a corrupted and a negative minded person lead a society that is thirty for a progressive society??

We proclaim and profess Christ is the truth and the only way yet many leaders of other faiths have outclassed our Christian leaders. Today, politics has controlled the people rather than people controlling the politics and that is where all the uncalled changes have taken place. If people want peace and development they should start asking God who should be the leader rather than looking whose party/politician would give more profit and money.

Can Christians in Nagaland seek the wisdom of God and chose our

Nagaland for Christ or selves..

and loots the people in every possible way to fulfill their selfish, egoistic individualists material superiority and still call themselves as Christians? Shame on you.!

Our God must have been so merciful.

The recent brouhaha over the game of thrones being played by the steel face politicians is a manifestation of such perversion.Our Leaders both overground and underground seemed to have developed a very thick skin which can even be used by the Naga sepoys as bullet proof vests against our enemy bullets. They too seemed to have an iron face even stronger and rust resistant than the iron pillars of Ashoka. Their face’s skin can be peeled off to use as a material for building our bridges and roads , hospitals and schools which are all in shambles as it has shown high quality of rust resistance, durability and able to withstand any chemical reaction even when exposed to public storms mixed with the ‘blood and tears’ of the Masses. The Dignity of their office has been lowered to a firebooting , wolf camping affairs for their whelps all on the expenses of the people’s nickel and pain reminds me one of the decadent Chota Nawab of Gujarat who use to marry his dogs and spend lakhs of tax payers monies on the events. Such an utter Rubbishes and incautious act to demean the plights of the peoples in so called land for Christ.? Such trees which bears irreverent poisonous fruit must dug up by the roots and foundation sown with salt and closed.

Whilst all the wise men and holy men in the land for Christ has chosen to remain silent to written their name in the good book of thier masters, the keyboard/pad warriors and camera maniacs of sow-shame media has become another pro-

paganda machines, sowing the seeds of ‘isms’ in every possible way among the Nagas. This group of smaller brain individuals with smartphone in their hands has also shrewdly cooked up many rumours and twaddle about different tribes and individuals and are spreading poisonous venom among the Naga society which must be carefully watched by all the sensible Nagas.

The sow-shame Media crusa-idiots has openly proved over and again that they eat more onions than any other peoples as exhibited by their noxious breath of hatreds and discords among the individuals and tribes.

The political overtones used by such groups of people has become more noisome and indigestible to human digestive systems and a direct insult to the motto ‘ Nagaland for Christ’. The ‘me first’ mentality of the news breaker at sow-shame media , without verifying the authenticity of its contents and celebration of gruesome acts of Violence , accidents or death of its own brethrens without any respect and dignity of the victims in a distorted way possible has gone far beyond humanly low. Under such nullah like conditions there can’t be any expectations for the messages of Christ - of Love, peace and justice to grow.

The licentiousness and perversions attitude of the money worshipers which manages to keep all the Secrets of their bosses under tight wraps and rather defame and rapes the names of anybody who doesn’t subscribed to their opinion is always zealous, brutal and messianic. Many virtuous people who dare to speak any truth had to shut his own mouth in exchange of his life and peace by accepting the lie coated pills given by the Hitler’s jugendtists.

This insane exhibition of North Korea like behavior towards dissent is more dangerous than any nuclear bombs in the US’s Arsenals and can never be acceptable in the land for Christ. God himself must be wondering how selfish and self-centered his creations can become to insult the works of his own creator.?

The Holy men on the other hand is afraid to question his cash cow about the source of his income.

The tithes he offered and the Donation he gave is only that matters to him.

Infact, the status, social acceptance ,the prayer and the chair allotted to him inside the house of God depends upon the weight of his offering. The proverbial Old widow’s offering mentioned in mark 12:42 must therefore read loud and clear to open our materially blinded eyes and money plugged ears. The holy men must raise the banner of Christ higher than ever before against the face of opposing winds from the Himalayas, Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. The time has come to defend , renewed , and revived the Dignity of our religion. They must break all hell gates and organise campaign to cleanse their/our own kitchen by stopping to celebrate and entertain ill gotten Gandhi’s photo in their offering box and condemn and exposed tough as nails hypocritic Christian face. The biblical story of the Israelites, journey to their promised land must act as a reminder to the Nagas.Because the Israelites did not obey God while they were in the wilderness, God did not lead them straight into the land he had promised them. The trip from Egypt to their new home should have taken the Israelites only few days, but instead, they wandered in the desert for 40 years.

own leaders and not sell our rights??

God has given humanity the gift of “choice”, election is one such good opportunity to use it wisely as God desires of us. It is time to prove to the world that Nagas are no more only Sunday Christians but act out that every day is a Holy day and a Christian day. As many Nagas have become good speakers and good critics, let us also act out our voices as we elect new leaders in the forth coming election. We have seen enough of potholes, corruption, exploitation, misuse of power, etc, etc, etc. time to show we walk the talk.

For the last few years, people have walked the street, fasted, protested, shouted, and did all kinds of acts against the government for their mismanagement, corruption, backdoor appointment, nepotism, dictator leadership, misuse of power, etc, etc. but nothing happen, no positive changes took place and it all went unnoticed because the leaders (politicians) were not chosen but they dictated the leadership, position and power so in reality people could do nothing. All complains and concerns of the people went unheard and in vain because we the people have sold our votes and rights, thus, making the politicians a dictator and not a leader.

Dear Naga Christians, many Naga politicians are gearing up once again to buy votes (that is our rights) and do all kinds of evil things to gain votes and in the light of all these things, are the so called Christians ready to sell it again? Or this time are you ready to say NO? In the next few years, are we going again in the streets and offices to protest and complain against the leaders we have chosen or bring a change during this election by chosen the right leader? If one is under the Lordship of Christ, than even in our decision makings and casting votes we must still be under the Lordship of Christ.

Can we take the pledge of a Clean Election that no one can influence us and buy us but we will pray and seek God’s wisdom and elect our own leaders? Our tomorrow is our responsibility today. We are what we are tomorrow because of what we are today. Nagas need a God fearing and a visionary person in a time such as this. Our vote today is our society tomorrow, let us pray, think and vote.

Chuwasie Nyuwi, Church worker (Meluri village baptist Church), Meluri Village

Its time we ponder upon our shortcomings and let our motto “Nagaland for Christ” reigns supreme in every heart and soul. In conclusion, the verse in the 2 chronicle 7:14 very much speaks to the Nagas, quote unquote” if my people, who are called by my name,

will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land”.

Reader’s Post Appeal to concern authority district hospital Dimapur

Sir,

Yesterday I went into the nurse’s room to enquire whether the scheme under Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) (where delivering mother is paid some amount of money) has been stopped. Because even after two days of my daughter giving birth to a baby girl, there was no news of the said scheme to be paid to my daughter.

On entering the room, I greeted a woman sitting in her chair going through some papers. When I enquired whether the (JSY) scheme has been stopped, she blurted out, “apni hi bacha paise” meaning, were you the one to give birth? When I replied that, not me, but my daughter gave birth, she replied that nowadays it was mandatory to have an account in a bank to receive the money under that scheme. So, here’s my appeal; many of those poor mothers don’t even know the meaning of the word, “bank account” and many may have walked miles and miles to reach this hospital as you know, only the poorer section of the society like me visits the district hospital, hoping that all may work out with less expenditure. And to be told to first open an account to receive the money just after giving birth is a herculean task for most of those poor mothers as opening an account in some banks nowadays takes days, even weeks, as to open an account requires aadhar card, epic card, PRC etc and by the time they do open an account, the scheme could easily vanish into thin air. And to those more fortunate people I would like to remind you that God gave you everything, from good health to lovely children and on top of that a steady source of income to sustain you for the rest of your lives. So, why not remember to thank God and say a loving word here and there to those mothers.

And if possible the note of first opening a bank account to receive that amount may be done away with and give the money directly to the delivering mothers, as before because I am sure, it will go a long way in mitigating their problems and so that they may walk out with good images of the hospital, its nurses, staff and doctors.

New Delhi, July 28 (PTI): A day after rallying, gold prices fell by Rs 150 to Rs 29,300 per 10 grams at the bullion market today, tracking a weak trend overseas amid muted demand from local jewellers.

Silver followed suit and slipped by Rs 225 to Rs 39,150 per kg due to reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers. Apart from a weak trend overseas, fall in demand from local jewellers and retailers mainly attributed the slide in gold prices, marketmen said. Globally, gold fell 0.08 per cent to USD 1,257.60 an ounce in Singapore. In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5per cent purity slumped by Rs 150 each to Rs 29,300 and Rs 29,150 per 10 grams, respectively.

It had gained Rs 230 yesterday. Sovereign however remained unaltered at Rs 24,400 per piece of eight grams in limited deals.

Following gold, silver ready declined by Rs 225 to Rs 39,150 per kg and weeklybased delivery by Rs 370 to Rs 38,150 per kg. Silver coins, however, continued to be traded at previous level of Rs 71,000 for buying and Rs 72,000 for selling of 100 pieces.

Pelosi said the bill “would squander billions of taxpayer dollars on President Trump’s immoral, ineffective and expensive border wall.” Pelosi also reminded the House that Trump had during his campaign “promised a wall that Mexico would pay for.”

“He said it would cost USD 4-6 billion. The fact is it could cost as much as USD 30-40 billion. And he wants a down payment for that wall in this bill. One poison pill,” she said.

House Democratic Caucus Chair man Joe Crowley called the move to build the border wall as “immoral and ineffective”.

“A wall along the USMexican border will not make the United States safer nor more secure,” he said.

“It is a massive waste of taxpayer money and will exacerbate problems with our already broken immigration system.”

Police said passersby tackled the man after he fled the scene, injuring him slightly, before plain clothes police officers could take him into custody.

Police have been on high alert in Germany since a spate of attacks on civilians last year, including a December attack on a Berlin Christmas market, when a hijacked truck plougher into the crowds, killing 12 and injuring many more.

It said no soldiers were injured in the incident at the Gush Etzion Junction, a busy intersection south of Jerusalem that has been the site of multiple Palestinian attacks over the past two years when the current round of violence erupted, in part over tensions at the

Palestinians threw fire bombs, rocks and rolled burning tires at soldiers who responded with tear gas and rubber bullets at several protests in the West Bank, the military said.

Last Friday a Palestinian infiltrated a Jewish settlement in the West Bank and entered a home where he stabbed three people to death and wounded a fourth as they ate the traditional Sabbath meal and celebrated the arrival of a new addition to the family.

Police had barred men under 50 would from the Jerusalem site and braced for violence following security assessments indicting Palestinians had planned protests there. There were no restrictions on women.

Muslims only returned to the site Thursday after about two weeks of praying in the streets nearby to protest new Israeli security measures.

WASHINGTON, JUL 28 PTI/IANS): The US House of Representatives has passed a USD 827 billion package that includes USD 1.6 billion for a controversial border wall with Mexico, which was part of President Donald Trump’s central campaign pledge.

During his presidential campaign last year, Trump had vowed to build the wall to prevent illegal immigration and smuggling of drugs to the US. But he had said he would make Mexico pay for it. All of the funds in the bill would be paid for by US taxpayers.

The bill was passed yesterday by the Republicancontrolled House with a 235-192 vote, mostly along party lines. It now heads to the Senate - where Democrats have a significant strength - before it can be signed into law by the US president.

The Democratic leadership has been opposing the proposed border wall. It is likely that the legislation would be resisted by the opposition party in the Senate.

In 2006, the EU banned the LTTE as a terrorist organisation and has maintained the LTTE on its list. In 2014, the General Court annulled the restrictive measures concerning the LTTE due to procedural shortcomings. The 2014 judgement was appealed by the Council of the European Union at the European Court of Justice. The EU has said the LTTE funds will remain frozen despite the recent judgement by the ECJ to lift the previous order of freezing funds restricted to the period 2011 and 2015, the EU said in a statement.

is rooted in nothing more than prejudice and fear mongering. And as with so many of his campaign pledges, he has broken his promise to Americans that they wouldn’t pay a dime for this wall.”

The Trump administration has defended the wall.

“The border wall is one more tool in the toolbox that might prevent some of the things from happening,” Tom Homan, acting director of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, told reporters at a White House news conference.

“That is why what President Trump is asking us to do, that is why what he’s proposing for border security makes sense for the law enforcement community. We need this help,” Homan said.

Lorella Praeli, director of immigration policy and campaigns at the American Civil Liberties Union, said the wall would “further Trump’s discriminatory anti-immigrant agenda and worsen customs and border protection abuses” in the 100-mile border zone.

Meanwhile, The US Senate rejected a scaledback Obamacare repeal bill on Friday in a shocking vote that marked a major defeat for Republican leaders and their seven-year effort to repeal the healthcare law, the media reported.

The Senate voted 4951 against the “skinny” bill that would have repealed Obamacare’s individual and employer mandates and defunded Planned Parenthood, The Hill magazine reported.

‘The Emoji Movie’ has received NME’s Songs Of The Summer 2017 Cooper talks about Cornell and Bennington T I a critical savaging for the ages

T

he Emoji Movie has been universally panned by critics, after the animated movie hit cinemas in the U.S. The film, which features the vocal talents of T.J Miller, Patrick Stewart, and James Corden, follows the adventures of the ‘Emojis’ who live in the city of Textopolis, where they wait eagerly to be used on our phones every day.

But it has failed to win over critics – with The Guardian’s Charles Bramesco describing it as “a force of insidious evil”.

“Children should not be allowed to watch The Emoji Movie”, he wrote.

“Their impressionable brains simply aren’t set up to sift through the thick haze of corporate subterfuge clouding every scene of this sponsoredcontent post masquerading as a feature film.”

In a similarly scathing review, IndieWire’s David Ehrlick wrote: “Sony Pictures Animation’s big new blockbuster has represented something very positive since the start of this summer movie season: hope. Specifically, the

hope that — for 90 beautiful minutes — Hollywood would spirit us away to a cinematic world that was somehow actually worse than real life.”

“Make no mistake, “The Emoji Movie” is very, very, very bad”, he added.

The film also currently boasts a 0% rating on reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.

Earlier this year, it also revealed some surprise cast additions – with Sir Patrick Stewart providing the voice of the ‘Poop Emoji’.

FIS. A time for kicking back, hitting the beach, wiling away the evening in a beer garden, chilling in the car you spent all day waxing. And – of course – listening to amazing pop music.

Some tracks that’ll be melting your ears this summer. The One For Cornetto Time-Phoenix – Fior de Latte: Why it’s great: That moment when you hit the ocean road and slide the top down – that’s what Phoenix have captured on this sublime, sun-dappled track that sounds like 10cc’s ‘I’m Not In Love’ guzzling choc-ices on a Miami Beach lounger.

Summeriest moment: “There’s no seasons in LA,” lilts Thomas Mars in the breakdown, sounding ever so slightly mournful What they say: Guitarist Laurent Brancowitz has claimed the band’s new album is inspired by “summer and Italian discos”. If only everything was.

The one for your fishing trip- Calvin Harris ft.

Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry & Big Sean – Feels: Why it’s great: With a cast list this awesome, this track was never going to

be anything less than epic.

Catchier than Chlamydia on Love Island.

Summeriest moment: When Katy Perry chimes in with her “Don’t be afraid to catch feels” line and you’re convinced she’s saying “Don’t be afraid to catch fish”. We love flicking our rod in the summer too, Katy!

They say: “I wanna thank every artist on the album for not only keeping an open mind, but also then knocking it out of the park” – Calvin Harris The one for when it’s too hot- Lana Del Rey + ASAP Rocky – Summer Bummer: Why it’s great: This saucy slow-jam is summer at its sultriest, for those nights when you have to have all the windows open and a fan constantly pointed directly at your sweaty bits. Old musical sparring partners Lana and A$AP are never anything less than steamy.

n a brand new interview with Mistress Carrie of the Worcester/Boston, Massachusetts radio station WAAF, legendary rocker Alice Cooper spoke about how the recent deaths of Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington and Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell are putting much-needed focus on the devastating consequences of mental illness.

“It is really weird what’s going on right now,” Cooper said. “First of all, Chris Cornell was one of the most positive people I’d ever met in my life. He had everything going for him on every level. Same with Bennington; same with Chester. I mean, I knew both of these guys pretty well. And they were not heavy drug guys, they were not wild, crazy, insane Keith Moon types; they

were really solid, solid, solid and the last people I would ever guess to commit suicide.

So I have no idea what’s going on with all of this.”

When Mistress Carrie suggested to Cooper that clues about what Chester was going through were there in the songs, and especially the lyrics, through which Bennington was able to confront his demons, Alice said: “That would have been true, I think, especially with Jim Morrison [of THE DOORS].

Jim Morrison… When I knew Jim, all he ever wrote about was what was on the other side. Or ‘The End’, ‘Break On Through [To

The Other Side]’… I mean, all these songs had all this death involved in it. But if you look at Chris Cornell, ‘Black Hole Sun’ and all this stuff they did, these guys were really positive guys. I know that a lot of the lyrics were dark because of the area the music is in, but knowing these guys, they’re nothing like that.”

Justice PB Suresh Kumar, in an interim order, directed the government to make all arrangements to see that Chitra participates in the event.

The court also observed that the selection process for the championship appears to be not transparent and qualified athletes were ignored.

The case will be considered on Monday for detailed hearing. The court had on Thursday sought an expla-

nation from the central government on the exclusion of the Kerala athlete from the Indian squad for the championships.

Hearing Chitra’s peti-

tion against the decision by the Athletics Federation of India (AFI), Justice Suresh Kumar had asked the Centre to inform the source of funding for international events.

Chitra, who had recently won a gold in the women’s 1500m event in the Asian Athletics Championships in Bhubaneshwar, filed the writ petition after she was excluded from the Indian squad by the Federation.

In her plea, she said her gold medal performance at the Asian Athletics Championships made her an automatic pick for the World Championships.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had backed Chitra and said in a Facebook post that excluding the athlete, who was the “pride not only of Kerala, but also the country, from the team for World Athletics Championship, is condemnable”.

Sri Lanka turn down PCB’s invitation to play T20 in Pak KARACHI, Jul 28 (PTI): The Sri Lankan cricket board has turned down an invitation from the Pakistan Cricket Board to send its team to Lahore to play two T20 matches at the start of its home series in October.

PCB Chairman, Shaharyar Khan confirmed that after the suicide bomb attack in Lahore earlier this week, the Sri Lankan cricket authorities has refused to send their team for the T20 matches.

“I had spoken to my Sri Lankan cricket counterpart during the ICC meetings and I had invited him to send his team to Lahore to play the T20 matches and start the series against Pakistan with rest of matches

to be played in the UAE,” Khan said. He said he had been given assurance by the Sri Lankan cricket head that he would speak to his government and get clearance for the matches.

“I am a bit surprised at Sri Lankan’s refusal because terror attacks are happening everywhere in the world and sports events are still going on. It is unfair to just single out Pakistan for security reasons.”

It was Sri Lanka’s team which had come under attack from militants in March, 2009 in Lahore after which no top Test team has toured Pakistan because of security concerns and the PCB has been forced to hold its home series in the UAE.

Sydney, Jul 28 (Agencies): David Warner has blasted Australia’s cricket administrators over the ongoing pay dispute which not only threatens next month’s Test tour to Bangladesh, but also the Ashes series later in the year.

The saga between the governing body, Cricket Australia, and the players’ union the Australian Cricketers’ Association, has been dragging on for months with the former considering using arbitration to settle the issue.

The spinner sent down a flighted delivery and Mathews moved towards leg and slapped it straight to Kohli at short cover.

Mathews hit 11 boundaries and a six.

Perera enjoyed an eventful stay at the crease.

Two balls after an appeal for a catch off his boot was turned down, Perera was adjudged lbw to Jadeja. The decision was overturned after replays suggested the ball

would have sailed over the stumps.

Perera hit Ravichandran Ashwin for a six and took a single off the next ball to bring up his fifth Test fifty.

Jadeja dismissed Herath for nine and debutant Hardik Pandya castled Nuwan Pradeep for 10 to claim his first Test wicket.

Perera was eight runs away from his maiden Test century when he ran out of partners. His belligerent knock included 10 fours and four sixes.

Perera then returned to dismiss Shikhar Dhawan for 14 after India opted against enforcing the follow-on and Lahiru Kumara sent back Cheteshwar Pujara for 15.

Kohli and Mukund shared a century-plus partnership for the third wicket as India moved 498 runs ahead and in a commanding position to take a 1-0 lead in the three-Test series.

Brief Scores: India 600 and 189/3 (Abhinav Mukund 81, Virat Kohli 76*; Danushka Gunathilaka 1/15) lead Sri Lanka 291 (Dilruwan Perera 92*, Angelo Mathews 83; Ravindra Jadeja 3/67) by 498 runs.

Rooney began in an advanced forward role but endured a quiet first period before livening up a little after the break when he dropped into a deeper position.

Fellow debutant Michael Keane was a plus on the night, turning in an impressive display.

Koeman and his side meanwhile, will be expecting a more fluent performance and hoping for a straightforward night in the return match.
