BJP demands exit of minority HDK govt
BENGALURU, JUL 8 (AGENCIES): The resignation drama in Karnataka continued on Monday, as the Janata Dal (Secular) or JD(S) and Congress got all their ministers to step down from their posts and proposed to replace them with disgruntled legislators in a last-ditch effort to save the one-year old H.D. Kumaraswamy-led coalition government. The coalition dangled cabinet berths as carrots to disgruntled legislators who remain holed up in a plush hotel in Mumbai. The BJP, which claims to have no role in the resignation of Congress and the JD(S) legislators, is confident that at least another four or five MLAs would resign. On Monday, the BJP said that the Karnataka governor should intervene and ask the coalition government to step down as it does not have the numbers to continue in power. “Ministers voluntarily resigned to make way for others to be accommodated,” Siddaramaiah, former chief minister and senior Congress leader, said in Bengaluru. “All ministers from #JDS have submitted their resignations just like the 21

ministers from #Congress. Cabinet reshuffle will happen soon,” Kumaraswamy tweeted on Monday. H. Nagesh and R. Shankar, the two independents who were inducted into the cabinet barely a month ago, resigned as ministers and extended their support to the BJPthat appears all set to form the next government. Nagesh was bundled away in a private charter, like the other ten on Saturday, raising questions on whether the BJP had funded their flight.
Since 1 July, at least 13 Congress and JD(S) legislators have resigned as MLAs and two independents have pulled out of the government. However, K.R.Ramesh Kumar, the Assembly speaker, is yet to accept the resignations and is likely to look into the matter on Tuesday. If the speaker accepts the resignations, it would bring down the coalition’s total to 103 MLAs (excluding Kumar) while the BJP has 107 MLAs, including
Weather alert for Nagaland, other North Eastern states DIMAPUR, JUL 8 (NPN): North East is all set to witness torrential rains in the coming days as Monsoon surge would become vigorous particularly in states like Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland and Sikkim and Sub-Himalayan West Bengal would be at risk. According to Skymet Weather, the region is gearing for heavy to very heavy rains during the next few days. Threat of flash floods, landslides and mud slides are looming large over these states. This upcoming spells can be attributed to the trough, which is presently running through IndoGangetic plains would now move north, towards the foothills of Himalayas during the week. Especially eastern end of the trough would be running through and through Sikkim, Assam, and Arunachal Pradesh.
As per weathermen, this trough is semi permanent feature during the Monsoon and keeps oscillating north-south. As the system moves along the foothills, Northeast India remains vulnerable for heavy to very heavy rains, with some extremely heavy spells. Weather models are indicating that these rains and thundershowers are in no mood to relent and would stay for almost a week, even more than that. Flash floods are all set to return to the state as incessant rains to make comeback. NE is the rainiest pocket of the country during Southwest Monsoon. However, presently it has been battling huge rainfall deficiency. As on July 8, Arunachal Pradesh is rain deficient by 33%, followed by Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura at 34%, Assam and Meghalaya at 27%.
the support of the two independent legislators, that theoretically gives the saffron party the numbers to form the government. But the process is likely to take longer as Kumar would have to ascertain the cause of the resignations and also that the BJP might be wary to take over anytime now since the month from 3 July is considered inauspicious. If the resignations are accepted then this would render 13 seats vacant. However, Congress and JD(S) are
planning to use all possible measures, including legal recourse, to hold on for as long as possible in order to find a solution to the crisis. The JD(S) on Monday ferried its legislators to a resort on the outskirts of Bengaluru to shield them from any alleged poaching attempts by the BJP. With a non-existent Congress high command, the deeply faction-hit state unit of the party finds itself in the middle of its biggest political crisis with merely a handful of leaders really wanting to keep the coalition afloat. The Congress in Karnataka appear to be at loggerheads on the measures to be taken with some wanting to wait and some others wanting to try a reverse operation on the BJP. Kumaraswamy, on the other hand, is yet to convey the resignations to the governor and is likely to act only if the disgruntled legislators offer signs of a possible reconciliation, said one person aware of the developments. “If the disgruntled elements are not interested, then there is no point in these resignations,” the person cited above said requesting not to be named.
Single lane traffic at Old KMC dumping site as sinking continues Correspondent
KOHIMA, JUL 8 (NPN): Sinking on NH-29 at the old KMC dumping site, about some 7 km from the State Capital, continues, even as work is on in full swing under the aegis of Public Works Department (PWD) to open the road for vehicular traffic. The stretch has been opened for vehicular traffic since July 5, but only during evening. Vehicles from Kohima are being diverted towards Jotsoma village route via KMC toll tax booth, while those coming from Dimapur are being diverted towards the Jotsoma bypass during the daytime. Interacting with Nagaland Post at the sinking site, PWD (NH) Kohima division superintending engineer Er Yanbemo Lotha PWD (NH) Kohima division executive engineer Er Vikhishe Yepthomi said the stretch was opened for traffic only from 6 p.m. onwards as per the directive from the police. They recalled that the sinking problem was faced at the same location (some 250 metre stretch

affected) in July last year when the stretch was being maintained by Border Roads Organisation. And as per the directive of the State government, the PWD had then taken over the road in the first week of August and took around three months to restore the traffic in the sinking area. However, the same area sank for about 50 metres again this month. Both the officials explained that they were monitoring the situation and trying their best to restore it and make it pliable. They were, however, apprehensive that
if the rain continued, then no one could ascertain how many days it would take to restore vehicular movement on the stretch. One PWD official said opening a single lane was possible but, due to repairing, no vehicular movement could be allowed at the moment during the day. Although the department was tr ying ever y means possible to make the road pliable, the official said the sinking area had become unstable and that the department could not take the risk of allowing movement of vehicles.

NEW DELHI, JUL 8 ( AG E N C I E S ) : Pa r l i a ment on Monday passed an amendment bill which allows voluntary use of Aadhaar as proof of identity for users to open bank accounts and get mobile phone connection. The Aadhaar and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2019, was passed by Rajya Sabha by a voice vote. The Bill, which also provides for a stiff Rs 1 crore penalty and a jail term for private entities violating provisions on Aadhaar data, was already passed by Lok Sabha on July 4. The Aadhaar and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2019, was introduced in Lok Sabha on June 24. The amendments provide for use of Aadhaar number for KYC authentication on voluntary basis under the Telegraph Act, 1885, and the Prevention of Money Laundering Act,
2002. The passage of the Bill means that people will now be able to open bank accounts and get new mobile connection without showing their Aadhaar card. It also gives option to children to exit from the biometric ID programme on attaining 18 years of age, while stipulating stiff penalties for violation of norms set for the use of Aadhaar and violation of privacy. It had also barred private companies from using the unique identity number for authenticating customers. Citing privacy concerns, the apex court had last year said that it was not mandatory for customers to link their Aadhaar number with their respective bank accounts or mobile phone numbers. During the debate on the Bill in Rajya Sabha, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Monday said that people like Bill Gates
and Thomas Friedman are appreciating Aadhar. He assured that House that the government is not going to change the architecture of Aadhaar and is focused on only changing the concerned law. Prasad also said that a comprehensive data protection law will be introduced by the Centre because the government considers data sovereignty a very important thing and will ensure that it is never compromised. “We will bring a comprehensive data protection law. Data sovereignty is integral to us and it will never be compromised,” Prasad said in Rajya Sabha. The amendments in the law will enable the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI)—the authority responsible for issuing Aadhaar numbers—to hold back the misuse of 12 digit identification number.

JCILPS to relaunch ILP movement today
Correspondent
IMPHAL, Jul 8: The Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System (JCILPS) Monday announced that it will revive the campaign for introduction of Inner Line Permit System (ILPS) in Manipur from Tuesday (July 9). Talking to reporters on the sideline of observance of 4th death anniversary of the pro-ILPS student Sapam Robinhood, JCILPS convener Yumnamcha Dilipkumar said that the campaign will be launched with various forms of agitations. The then 16-year-old Sapam Robinhood Singh, a Class-XI student of Ananda Singh Higher Secondary School died after he sustained severe injuries in tear gas shelling by police to a group of students carrying out a rally demanding
implementation of ILPS in the state in 2015. JCILPS has been observing the day as “Lamjing Mera Day” remembering the sacrifice made by the student for the cause of indigenous people of the state. Hundreds of people, particularly students of various schools and colleges and womenfolk turned up at the memorial site at Awa Ching in Nongmaiching hill range in Imphal East district to pay tribute. Expressing strong resentment on delay in enforcing as Act, the Manipur People Bill 2018, the JCILPS convenor said that JCILPS was ready to launch fresh agitations from Tuesday (July 9). “Whether President (of India) gives his assent or not, we need ILPS. It must be introduced immediately,” he said.
The Manipur People Bill 2018 was passed by the state Assembly in 2018 but the President is yet to give his assent to the bill. Yumnamcha said that a high power team of JCILPS with representatives from CSOs backing the JCILPS’s demand will be formed soon and they will go to New Delhi to press the President to give his assent to the Bill. In case the Manipur People’s Bill 2018 does not get the assent of the President, JCILPS will launch intense forms of agitations to implement the ILPS in the state,” he added. Asserting that there was no let-up in pro-ILPS movement, the convenor said that JCILPS will continue to spearhead the people’s campaign until a mechanism was put up to check the ever increasing migrants in the state.

Meghalaya launches online portal for entrepreneurs Shillong, Jul 8 (PTI): Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma Monday launched an online platform to facilitate sale of products of local entrepreneurs. The initiative is to develop the entire entrepreneurial ecosystem in the state, he said at the launch of the website ‘Meghamart’ here. “The website is an effort of the government to help the entrepreneurs to market their products,” Sangma said. He said that the state government will soon come up with a procurement policy so that all government, military and para-military and private organisations purchase 20 per cent of their requirements from the entrepreneurs of the state. The objective is to provide a digital platform for local entrepreneurs and businesses of the entire north east to reach out to global markets. Created by the Meghalaya government through the Institute of Entrepre-
Meghalaya chief minister Conrad Sangma and others during the launching of online portal for entrepreneurs. neurship under the overall theme of ‘Made in North East’ and ‘Made in Meghalaya’, the website will provide the much needed exposure and access to global markets for small and medium enterprises of the region, who lack formal business training or those who cannot afford a brick and mortar shop.
The platform will enable them to sell their products on a wide scale without any investment in a website of their own. With the tagline of ‘The Best of North East at your Doorstep’, the online platform will allow buyers to contact sellers and directly negotiate quantities, prices and shipping, while
sellers will have to register their businesses or enterprises at the website. The launch of the online platform is part of the chief minister’s initiative to promote and foster enterprises and entrepreneurship in the state by providing a platform to showcase the products and services of them.

Condemnation Notice On 5 of July, 2019 at 10:30 pm, a police officer along with his aides numbering about fifteen of them arrived at Aoyimkum Village on their vehicles and bikes and started harassing the villagers without any rhyme or reason. The Village Council Chairman on hearing the commotion went to the spot and inquired as to what the matter was for the police to arrive so late at night without the knowledge of the Village Council since the council has not given the police any information nor was there any problems within the village that the council could not solve. The police officer who was in an inebriated condition removed his service revolver and started charging and intimidating the Village Council Chairman and even went to the extend of pushing and ordering the chairman to go away. The Aoyimkum Village Council and its residents vehemently condemn such acts of criminal intimidation to a public or a village elder/chairman by a police officer without any rhyme or reason and appeal to the higher authorities to strictly book/punish the erring police officer and his aides as per the provision of law so that such acts will not be committed in the near future.

Diphu July 8: The Autonomous State Demand Committee (ASDC) has criticised BJP MP from Autonomous Districts, Horensing Bey for his speech in the Lok Sabha seeking Autonomous State for Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao. “He is playing the role of opposition MP instead of convincing his top brass for introducing a bill for Autonomous State,” said ASDC secretary (publicity) Daniel Teron. During Zero Hour of Lok Sabha on July 4, Bey urged the Union government to grant Autonomous State for Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao under Article 244(a) of the constitution of India. “It is a drama for his political gain,” alleged Teron at a press conference in Diphu. ASDC secretary (finance) Sanjay Killing said, “it is only to show to the people that the BJP is really interested on Autonomous State.” “The BJP has majority in Lok Sabha. It is also in power in Dispur and Diphu. The proper way for him (Bey) is to convince his higher ups to introduce the bill in Lok Sabha for creation of an Autonomous State,” said Teron. “It is a golden opportunity for the BJP to introduce the bill in Lok Sabha. But they will not do it. We believe that they had taken up the issue to win over the election only,” he added.

seeks Centre’s reply for setting Call for Gen Next leader to head Cong grows upSChuman rights courts in all districts
NEW DELHI, JUL 8 (PTI): The view that a young leader should succeed Rahul Gandhi as Congress president is fast gaining traction with the party’s youth cadre batting for a Gen Next chief over the old guard. The young brigade’s preference for youth over experience got a boost when Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Saturday asserted that a young person should be chosen as Gandhi’s successor. Though no Congress leader or worker has publicly put forward any name, party insiders said Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot and senior Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia could be front-runners for the top job in the Grand Old Party. Pilot, 41, led the party to victory in the assembly polls as the Rajasthan Pradesh Congress chief and has a lot of grassroots experience. Scindia, 48, is also seen as a dynamic leader with mass appeal though he could not win his seat in Madhya Pradesh in the Lok Sabha election. While Pilot and Scindia seem to be ahead of
Sachin Pilot (File)
Jyotiraditya Scindia (File)
others in the young brigade, former Union minister Milind Deora could well be the dark horse, say political observers. The focus swivelled to the young brigade on Sunday when Scindia made public his resignation as general secretary in-charge western Uttar Pradesh and Deora announced he has quit as Mumbai Congress chief. On Saturday, Keshav Chand Yadav resigned as Youth Congress president. All three resigned citing accountability, Gandhi’s focus after the Lok Sabha polls debacle. The Congress got only one seat in Uttar Pradesh, that of Sonia Gandhi in Rae Bareli, and lost all the five
of the six seats in Mumbai it contested. Announcing his resignation as Mumbai Congress president, 42-year-old Deora said he was looking forward to playing a role at the national level to help stabilise the party. The resignations citing accountability have put party veterans in a spot with pressure mounting on them to follow suit. Some Youth Congress leaders met Rahul Gandhi last week and told him a young leader who has connect with the youth is the need of the hour and should be handed the reins of the party, sources said. “Whoever becomes Congress president has to
be someone whom people can identify with across the country. People should be able to identify and also look for their long term future with that president,” a senior leader said on condition of anonymity. “Someone who is wellknown, articulate and has charisma -- that is the kind of person people expect the Congress to hand over the reins to,” he added. A large section of the party comprising young leaders feels the party needs to connect with the youth and a young leader at the helm is a must as an old guard leader may fail to attract millennials and Gen Next. “Rahul Gandhi has always encouraged and worked for building a strong second line leadership of young leaders. I completely agree with his vision. Young leaders at all levels of the party, including at the top, must be encouraged,” Congress leader Rajesh Lilothia told PTI. Lilothia also tendered his resignation as working president of the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee along with scores of
office-bearers after Rahul Gandhi quit as chief. Asked about the situation arising out of Gandhi’s resignation, Jitin Prasada, former Union minister and party’s young face from Uttar Pradesh, told PTI, “We urge Mr. Gandhi to reconsider his resignation. However, in the letter (Gandhi put out on Wednesday) he talked about the challenges ahead of the party which must be discussed threadbare and acted upon.” Sushil Kumar Shinde, Mallikarjun Kharge, Motilal Vora and Ashok Gehlot are among the ‘old guard probables’ for the position of party president. However, there is no official confirmation on it. On Saturday, Punjab Chief Minister Singh said a young leader with a forwardlooking approach would “galvanise” the rank and file of the party after Gandhi’s “unfortunate” resignation. He urged the Congress Working Committee (CWC) to look for Gandhi’s replacement in a charismatic Gen Next leader, who can “enthuse” people with his “panIndia appeal and grassroots presence”.
NE W D E L HI , J U L 8 (PTI): The Supreme Court Monday agreed to hear a plea seeking direction to the Centre for setting up human rights courts in every district of the country as mandated under the Protection of Human Rights Act. A bench comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justices Deepak Gupta and Aniruddha Bose issued notice to all 29 states on the plea which also sought appointment of Special Public Prosecutors (SPPs) for conducting speedy trial of offences arising out of human rights violation within a time period of three months. The petition filed by a law student, Bhavika Phore, sought direction to the Centre for providing sufficient and adequate funds for setting up of human rights court in all 725 districts in 29 states and seven Union Territories in a time bound manner. She also sought an instruction to registrars of all the high courts for the same. The plea filed through advocate Aakarsh Kamra also sought the Centre and
the states to adhere with and implement the provisions of Sections 30 and 31 of the Protection of Human Rights Act (PHRA). Section 30 of the PHRA says the state government in concurrence of the Chief Justice of the concerned high court will specify for each district a human rights court for speedy trial of human rights violation, whereas Section 31 of the Act provides for the state government to specify and appoint SPPs for conducting cases. The plea refers to many reports on custodial deaths in the country in the past years referring to “abuse of power” and “unfathom-
able torture” undergone by individuals due to police excess. It also stated the records of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) from 2001 to 2010, according to which 14,231 persons died in police and judicial custody, of which 12,727 died in judicial custody--a large majority of which was a direct consequence of custodial torture. “Torture remains endemic, institutionalised and central to the administration of justice. India has demonstrated no political will to end torture as it remains widespread and integral to law enforcement,” the petition said.

He added that such a step would enable the introduction of younger people into the positions of authority. “The longer the present uncertainty remains the more will our workers and voters around the country be demoralized,” he said. Singh further noted
that he is deeply aghast by Rahul’s resignation but the negative cycle must be reversed before it gets too late. He said that the party has wasted a month in
pleading with Rahul to take back his resignation. The Gandhi scion, Member of Lok Sabha from Wayanad in Kerala, became the Congress president in 2017.

NE W D E L HI , J U L 8 (PTI): A Delhi court Monday summoned Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia for July 16 in a criminal defamation complaint filed by BJP leader Vijender Gupta. Gupta had accused the AAP leaders of “maligning” his image by accusing him of attempting to kill Kejriwal. Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Samar Vishal said the allegations of the accused persons were “prima facie defamatory” and referred to Gupta. “There exists sufficient ground to proceed against the respondents... Accordingly, Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia are summoned for commission of offence of defamation under Section 500 of the Indian Penal Code,” the court said. Gupta, who is the Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly, has claimed in the complaint that due to widespread circulation of tweets and news reports on the statement of the two Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders, his reputation was harmed for which they have not expressed any remorse or apologised. He has alleged that the statements of the accused were made with “ulterior motives” to harm his reputation, malign his image and gain some cheap political mileage in the 2019 Lok Sabha election. During the general election, Kejriwal had said in an interview to a Punjabi channel that the BJP wanted to get him killed by his own personal security officer (PSO) in the manner in which Indira Gandhi had been assassinated. Sisodia had accused Gupta of being a part of the alleged conspiracy.
The two others are Deep Raj Singh and Jagtar Singh. On May 5, 2014, jail inmate Bikramjit Singh, who was serving life imprisonment in a murder case, was taken to a government hospital here for treatment. All the accused have been held guilty under sections 302 (murder), 364 (kidnapping), 342 (wrongful confinement) and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of the IPC.
NEW DELHI, JUL 8 (AGENCIES): Veteran Congress leader Karan Singh on Monday suggested four working presidents and vice-presidents, one each for the four zones – North, South, East and West. In a letter to CWC, Singh urged the body to meet without delay under the chairmanship of former prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh to take necessary decision on an interim Congress party president until the next party elections, suggesting four Working

ight after the indecisive 2018 verdict where no party obtained even a simple majority which compelled both Congress and JDS to form an opportunistic and unholy marriage of convenience under the specious plea of ‘keeping the BJP out’; the unholy marriage has been functioning in an unnatural and uncomfortable manner from day one. The BJP emerged as the single largest party in the 2018 assembly elections winning 104 seats. The incumbent Congress government was defeated and managed to win 80 from the 122 it held while the JDS won 37 seats in a house of 224. With the support of two independent and one BSP member, the CongressJDS managed to cobble 120 members for a post-poll coalition. The Congress and JDS had a coalition government in 2004 but it fell when H.D.Kumaraswamy Gowda defected and joined hands with BJP to form the government. The coalition again collapsed as Kumaraswamy refused to give the BJP the post of chief minister on rotation as agreed. The present crisisridden Congress-JDS coalition has been wracked with public spats between the two partners. Just within two months after formation of the present coalition government in May 2018, Karnataka chief minister, HD Kumaraswamy broke down at a public event in July last year saying he was not happy working with the Congress and that he became “Vishkanth (Lord Shiv) and swallowed pain of this government.” The coalition has never been problem-free. Kumaraswamy has become unpopular even within his own party MLAs while the Congress has also been wracked by inner tussle for dominance between former chief minister Siddaramaiah and AICC general secretary –in-charge of Karnataka K.C.Venugopal. Congress leaders are presently jobless, such as former union minister Veerappa Moily and former CPP leader Mallikarjun Kharge , both from Karnataka have also been playing their own games. This has only added more problems for the faction-ridden party. Congress MLAs owing allegiance to Siddaramaiah have frequently openly attacked Kumaraswamy, criticising him for his style of functioning and praising the former chief minister and floating their view that the coalition would work better if Siddaramaiah was made Karnataka chief minister. The Congress-JD (S) alliance went into the Lok Sabha election as a divided house. Several Congress MLAs were unhappy and so were the JD (S) leaders. Umesh Jadhav, the Congress MLA, joined the BJP ahead of Lok Sabha election. The BJP won 25 of 28 Lok Sabha seats routing the ruling coalition. It was a massive blow to the shaky coalition and matters took a turn for the worst after Rahul resigned as AICC president, owning responsibility for the poll debacle. This only provided the spark needed by the dissidents to look for greener pasture in the BJP camp. Political analysts believe that the Congress and Janata Dal (Secular) are responsible for the Karnataka crisis. While the daily bickering within both the Congress and JDS parties as well as the open criticisms in the media had led to some resignations, the Congress and JDS did nothing to quell the rebellion and when they finally did, it was too little and too late. The BJP has so far made at least six unsuccessful attempts on the Karnataka government in the last one year, but it seems that this time, it is most likely to succeed. And the Congress and JDS should be credited for it and not the BJP.
DailyDevotion Will To Be Faithful
…choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve… —Joshua 24:15 A person’s will is embodied in the actions of the whole person. I cannot give up my will— I must exercise it, putting it into action. I must will to obey, and I must will to receive God’s Spirit. When God gives me a vision of truth, there is never a question of what He will do, but only of what I will do. The Lord has been placing in front of each of us some big proposals and plans. The best thing to do is to remember what you did before when you were touched by God. Recall the moment when you were saved, or first recognized Jesus, or realized some truth. It was easy then to yield your allegiance to God. Immediately recall those moments each time the Spirit of God brings some new proposal before you. “…choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve….” Your choice must be a deliberate determination— it is not something into which you will automatically drift. And everything else in your life will be held in temporary suspension until you make a decision. The proposal is between you and God— do not “confer with flesh and blood” about it (Galatians 1:16). With every new proposal, the people around us seem to become more and more isolated, and that is where the tension develops. God allows the opinion of His other saints to matter to you, and yet you become less and less certain that others really understand the step you are taking. You have no business trying to find out where God is leading— the only thing God will explain to you is Himself. Openly declare to Him, “I will be faithful.” But remember that as soon as you choose to be faithful to Jesus Christ, “You are witnesses against yourselves…” (Joshua 24:22). Don’t consult with other Christians, but simply and freely declare before Him, “I will serve You.” Will to be faithful— and give other people credit for being faithful too.

ust as any other human race in the world, the Nagas of Nagaland are naturally installed to inhabit the given area of land of about 16,579 square kilometres according to the will of the Living God as found in Acts 17:26. And just any other race having ownership over the land and its resources they inhabit, the Nagas of Nagaland are the sole owners of the land and its resources in Nagaland as provided in the Art 371(A) of the Constitution of India. The erstwhile British-India provided the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation(BEFR) of 1873 (ILP) for the protection of the indigenous Nagas of Nagaland from undue interferences from non-indigenous people from outside, and the same was incorporated under the Constitution of India when Nagaland was created as a State on 1.12.1963. This ILP was recently challenged by one BJP leader Ashwini Kumar Upadhya through PIL in the Supreme Court recently, and yet, the Supreme Court dismissed the PIL with a single struck implying that this protective law for Nagaland cannot be challenged. Although the legal ownership of the indigenous Nagas over the State of Nagaland can never be challenged by anyone, Nagaland is never free from threats of subjugating the indigenous Nagas of Nagaland to shreds of minority and secondary citizens in Nagaland by people from outside Nagaland through legal or illegal migration. This very threat is no more a speculation but the subjugation has been in active process for the last few decades. At this rate, Nagaland is becoming the second Tripura in NE India sooner than one

RIIN: A blessing or a curse
apprehends. The ground realities are that be it business, our economy is practically not controlled by the indigenous Nagas, rather the indigenous Nagas are at the mercies of outsiders. Politically the indigenous Nagas become malleable to be made dancers at the whims of outsiders. Socially the indigenous Nagas in Nagaland allowed ourselves to be made as second fiddles and pawns in the hand of outsiders. The complacencies of the indigenous Nagas are the grounds kept ready for the legal and illegal migrants to overwhelm and control us leaving nothing for the future of our posterity. Whereas, when the indigenous Nagas of Nagaland are boastfully harping that we are immune from being overpowered by those undeserved migrants because of Art 371(A) and BEFR of 1873. Whereas, how these two protective constitutional provisions remain vibrant and resist the undue aggressions of those outsiders when the indigenous Nagas themselves are the ones to be the agents of those aggressors? How outsiders can be expected to respect our protective laws when we, the sons of the soil, are primarily responsible for breaching and undermining our own laws? H av i n g o b s e r v e d that the situational tide is against the Nagas of Nagaland, the NTC initiated for the formation of the Joint Co-ordination Committee on Ban of Illegal immigrant (JCCBII), and accordingly, the JCCBII demanded the enforcement of ILP across the State of Nagaland including Dimapur District. In positive response, the Govt. of Nagaland constituted the Committee on ILP headed
by Mr. Abhishek Sinha, IAS which submitted its recommendations. Meanwhile, the Govt. of Nagaland has decided to implement the recommendations of the Committee on ILP. In pursuance of its decision, the Govt. of Nagaland has just issued Notification vide No.CON-3/PAP/65/10 dated, Kohima, the 29th June, 2019. By this order, the Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland (RIIN) is going to be conducted soon. The positive actions of the Govt. of Nagaland is highly appreciated. As I understand the objective of RIIN, it aims to streamline the categories of the citizens of the State of Nagaland which is very imperative. The existing mess of who is and who is not an indigenous citizen, who is a tribal and who is not and who is and who is not a domicile does not benefit anyone or any community. In the midst of the prevailing haywire, there are chances of discriminating someone who does not deserve to be treated so or who is not supposed to be treated at par with the bona fide citizens. Beside, so much rooms are kept for the illegal people to take full advantage on the situation with manoeuvring at the expense of the genuine citizens of Nagaland. Although I am yet to come across the guidelines of the Govt. as to how categorical enumerations would be carried out, I believe the following segmental streamlining will be done. Firstly, the aboriginal Nagas of Nagaland followed by the indigenous nonNaga tribes, the indigenous non-tribal Nepalese and the general non-Naga indigenous inhabitants who had been our citizens prior to the cut-off year.
Whereas, as and when the streamlining in the enumeration is done, the State of Nagaland will have proper record on the categories of who are the aboriginal Nagas of Nagaland, who are the other tribal nonNaga indigenous citizens and who are the non-Naga indigenous citizens of Nagaland. With the requisite exercises under RIIN, the much self destructive acts of Village authorities and administrative officers in issuing Permanent Residential Certificate (PRC), Temporary Residential Certificate(TRC), Indigenous Certificate, Death/ Birth Certificate and other work Permit which are mostly on mercantile in nature will be largely mitigated. Therefore, what the Govt. of Nagaland has decided to do with RIIN is the collective responsibility of the bona fide citizens of Nagaland to cooperate and support as this exercise is in the interest of everyone. Nonetheless, when we understand the practical enumeration, it is very challenging. The notified 7 member Team of Enumerators are BDO/UDO, Head Master of Govt. High School, 2 GBs to be nominated by DC, 2 Teachers to be nominated by DEO and commanded by SDO(C) or EAC. This very Team will either build or destroy the future of Nagaland. If the members of the Team become irresponsible, greedy and abuse the delegated power, they will bring curse upon our society. In other words, those citizens who landed in Nagaland after the set dateline, may go to any extend to bribe the enumerators for registration as bona fide citizens. Though I have no intention to indict anyone of the officers who remained honest in the fear of God, we alI know
Nagas hills tribal struggle for sovereignty from India
he Nagas have originated from mongoloid race and settled down in the hilly no man’s land area since time immemorial which had never been occupied by any human being since God’s creation. It is to be mentioned that Buddhism had already been accepted by almost all the South Asian people by 3 century BC as such Nagas migrated from China and settled down in the land they occupy now long before Christian Era. According to the historical records of the Ahom kings, in 13th century when Ahom prince Sukhapa marched across the Bu through Patkai hills they had fierce encounter with the Naga tribes who were already settled in the hills. So the Naga are the first settlers in the land they occupy now. During the early invasion of the British in north east India, neither the Ahoms, manipuries, Kacharies Burmese nor the British ever entered Naga area for occupation and it is a clear indication that the Nagas were not under any of her neighbour’s kings or rule. In the course of migration though the Naga families have spread in different directions and hence developed their own languages and cultures. The following are the identified tribes of Naga Hills Tribes: 1. Angami, 2. Ao, 3. Anal, 4. Chang, 5. Chakhesang, 6. Chiru, 7. Chote, 8. Chirel, 9. Chirr, 10. Heimi, 11. Hewa, 12. Htangam, 13. Inpui, 14. Konyak, 15. Kiamungan, 16. Kharam, 17. Koireng, 18. Kayo, 19. Khaklak/Hkalak, 20. Kengu, 21. Lamkang, 22. Liangmai, 23. Laihe, 24. Lainung, 25. Lotha, 26. Maram, 27. Mao, 28. Maring, 29. Moyon, 30. Monsang, 31. Machary/Makury/
Makhori, 32. Malang, 33. Nokho/pNoko, 34. Nokte, 35. Nolang, 36. Namsik, 37. Pakang, 38. Phellongri, 39. Phom, 40. Pochuri, 41. Phango, 42. Phankhem, 43. Pangmi, 44. Pangu, 45. Para, 46. Poumai, 47. Rangpan, 48. Rasit, 49. Rekho, 50. Rengma, 51. Rongmei, 52. Sangtam, 53. Saplo, 54. Shangphuri, 55. Singpho, 56. Sira, 57. Somi, 58. Sumi, 59.Tarao, 60.Tangkhul, 61.Thangal, 6 2 . T a n g s a , 6 3 . T i k h i r, 64.Wanchao, 65.Yimchunger, 66. Zeme, 67. Zeliang (Reference: The Nagas with the three great nations, by Kibangwar Jamir). Although all these tribes have been living within their own well demarcated boundary the Naga villages were all contiguous and helping each other as and when required. However the British, for their own administrative convenience divided the contiguous Naga areas into different administrative units and kept them under different provinces in the districts of Manipur and Assam. The Ahoms and the British were the first outsiders who entered Naga territory and third group of outsider were the American missionaries who had come in good faith to give civilization and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. Christianity was first accepted by the Ao community from Molung Village and later on it spread like wild fire to all the Naga areas followed by educational and religious upliftment. After the 1st World war, the Nagas submitted a memorandum to the British requesting not to merge the Naga areas independent from the British India rule and accordingly the British excluded the
Naga areas from British India, vide the government of British India Act, 1935. However, after the end of Second World War the British did nothing for the sovereignty of the Nagas from the Indians and thus Nagas were left under the rule of Indian government creating Indo-Naga political problems. A British officer decided to help the Nagas to form Naga Hills Tribal Council in April 1945 with the objective to unite all Nagas and to reconstruct Naga Hills and later on it was converted into Naga National Council (NNC) led by Shri. T. Aliba Imti as president. In the early part of 1947 the NNC submitted a memorandum as the “Nine Point Agreement”. Later on different political parties came up meanwhile the first Indian general election was held in January 1952 but the Nagas boycotted this election and abstained from participating and casting vote. The 16 Point Agreement was passed on the third Naga Peoples’ Convention held in October 1959 led by a group of political leaders viz, NPC president Dr. Imkongliba Ao, Mr. Jasokie, Mr. Chubatoshi Jamir, R. C. Chiten Jamir, Mr. Kelhoshi Sema, Mr. Etsorhomo Lotha, Mr. Sentsi Rengma, Mr. Lakimong Yimchunger, Mr. Litingse Sangtam, Mr. Panthung Phom, Mr. Putimo Chakesang, Mr. Imtichba Chang, Mr. Thangwang Konyak, Thiowholie Zeliang, Mr. T. N. Angami, Mr. Sashimeren Ao etc. however among these dynamic leaders only Mr. Chubatoshi Jamir is alive with us now. United Naga Democratic Party (UNDP) Nagaland longtsasangtam@gmail. com.
how selfish and fragile are many of our Naga officers today. We have very limited number of honest and God fearing officers in Nagaland today. Any Naga officer can commercialize their responsibility for selfish gain by manipulations in the process of enumeration. The dishonest and greedy enumerators, when tempted with wads of currency notes, will easily forget the future of his/ her children and surrender to the whims of those who try to purchase citizenship. In a District, how many dependable officers a DC can locate to man the Team, how many honest BDOs/ UDOs can be picked up for the job is going to be a tough selection. Beside the integrity of the officers, how sincere and determine the nominated Team leaders will drive the Team to complete the given assignment successfully and transparently on time is another credential. In the event of a Team commercializing its position, wrong entries will be entertained which will ultimately invite disputes and by the spark of which, unwanted and ugly tussles will erupt between sections of our people. Thus, the enumerators will be the trouble shooters and they can become responsible for inviting curse upon our people permanently for the reason that whoever, nonindigenous citizen, is allowed to be registered under RIIN, we will not be able to challenge his/her entity including the descendants in the court of law hereafter. The enumerators can become responsible for the non-citizens of Nagaland to subdue the indigenous citizens to the second class people in their own land in near future. If the exercise is at all allowed to be hap-
hazard, it will definitely be self-destruction and therefore the RIIN can become a curse on ourselves. Whereas, when the Teams for the enumeration are determined, focussed, honest to the indigenous people of Nagaland and remain transparent in its dealing with the task, they are going to deliver Nagaland from the menace of subjugation. If the enumerators have sense of patriotism and of fear of God nothing of distraction can hamper the exercise. The proper and successful conduct of enumeration will be the catalyst for our future activities of the State Govt. and for the NGOs too. In absence of the proper enumerated figures of the indigenous citizens of Nagaland, several authorities beginning with the Village authorities and above have been committing errors in matters of issuance of local certificates as stated above which are detrimental to ourselves. The RIIN has given the opportunity to the villages and the tribes in Nagaland to cleanse your population from contamination, to the towns to put your houses in order so as to prevent your domains becoming the breeding centres of unwanted population. Not only the Govt. of Nagaland but including the tribal bodies, the concerned civil organisations and the villages must become serious and handle the enumeration with dedication. Not the least is the non-Naga indigenous tribes and the other non-Naga indigenous citizens must not try to manipulate in the process of enumeration for the sake of bon fide citizens of the category. Any play of unfair means will definitely fetch boomerang. Z. Lohe
Forests are important for sustenance
F
orests are a rich resource of our planet, the Earth. Forests have a great floral diversity. There are trees, creepers, climbers, grasses, bushes, shrubs and herbs that make up the vegetation in forests. Deforestation refers to the felling of trees and clearing of vegetation of a forest. Forests are important habitats for a large number of wildlife species. A wide variety of animals, birds, reptiles and insects inhabit forests. In the forests you can hear the roaring of the lion, the trumpeting of the elephant, the chattering of monkeys, and the sweet calls and songs of birds. You can see colourful birds, beautiful butterflies flitting around and small insects and reptiles. For all these wildlife species the forest is their home. The food chain is in balance with the carnivores and herbivores living in the forest. While there are large carnivorous mammals like tigers, lions and leopards, there are other smaller carnivores like hyenas, foxes and jackals that live in the forests. There are also the scavenger birds like the vulture, hawk and eagle that feed on carcasses in forests. Herbivores like the deer and elephant that depend on the trees and vegetation for their food also live in forests. The herbivores also become food for the carnivores. When forests are disturbed and wildlife
killed by man, there is disequilibrium in the food chain that causes ecological disturbances. Man too depends on forests for his food and livelihood. When forests are cleared, man’s food supply, and the livelihoods of communities that live in the vicinity of forests are adversely affected. Forests are important in maintaining the hydrological cycle on the planet. Rainfall patterns are normal when forests are left undisturbed. Global warming and climate change are also due to deforestation. Despite forests being vital to the health of ecosystems, man has been clearing forests. This creates land that is used for other purposes such as building of homes or factories, practicing cultivation, or laying of roads and railway lines. Deforestation is the result of man’s insatiable greed for more and more goods and services, derived from limited non-renewable resources. It leads to an unhealthy and unsustainable environment. So while the goals of modern development of a consumerist society are met, the deforestation disturbs the ecosystem. Forests are a great natural wealth, and if we wish to treasure it we need to protect it by putting an end to deforestation. (N. Kalyani)

29 killed, 18 injured as bus plunges into drain
AGRA (UP), JUL 8 (PTI): A two-tiered ‘sleeper bus’ on its way from Lucknow to Delhi skidded off the Yamuna Expressway and plunged about 20 feet into a drain in the early hours of Monday, killing 29 people and injuring 18, officials said. The accident took place at 4.30 am in Etmadpur, about 200 km from Delhi, when the Uttar Pradesh Roadways bus dashed against the safety railing at high speed and hurtled down into the overflowing drain, they said. Screams of passengers trapped inside the bus could be heard in the still of the pre-dawn darkness. As news of the tragedy spread, people from villages nearby rushed to rescue the survivors, many who were deep in sleep when the accident occurred, eyewitnesses said. The injured were rushed to different hospitals, including a private health facility, in the district, the officials said. The operation to pull out the mangled remains of the bus -- the roof was ripped off when it fell from the bridge -- took several hours, with two excavators and a crane being deployed. “One sleeper coach passenger bus travelling from Lucknow to Delhi met with an accident on Yamuna Expressway,” the Uttar Pradesh Police said on Twitter. The ‘Janrath Bus’ of the Uttar Pradesh Road-

ways’ Awadh Depot (Lucknow) was going from Lucknow to the national capital’s Anand Vihar ISBT, officials said. The sleeper bus has two decks, the lower one for those sitting and the one above with berths that let passengers stretch out. Police in Agra released a list of 19 of those killed. They are Siddharth Dubey, Satya Prakash Sharma, Dhreeraj Pandey, Anvesh Awasthi, Satya Prakash Tiwari, Aditya Kashyap, Premchandra, Vijay Bahadur Singh, Huzur Alam, Prayagu Mishra, Deepak Singh, Dhirendra Pratap Singh, Ankush Srivastava, Akash Srivastava, E Ahmad, Amit Kumar, Deepak Kumar and a roadways employee whose name was not mentioned.
Ten other deceased have not been identified. Accidents are not uncommon on the high speed 165-km six-lane expressway, connecting Noida on Delhi’s outskirts with Agra in Uttar Pradesh. Road safety experts have warned of the dangers of over speeding on the wide expressway, especially in early morning hours and at night. As details came in of yet another accident on the high speed highway, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi were among the many who condoled the deaths and prayed for the speedy recovery of those injured. “Pained by the bus accident in Agra, Uttar Pradesh. Condolences to
the families who have lost their loved ones. I pray that those injured recover fast. The state government and local administration are providing all possible assistance to the affected,” Modi said on Twitter. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath constituted a committee to go into the reasons behind the accident and submit its report early, Additional Chief Secretary, Information, Awanish Awasthi said. “As per the district magistrate (Agra) 29 persons have died. The bus fell into a ‘nallah’ (drain),” he said. Uttar Pradesh Roadways will pay an ex-gratia amount of Rs 5 lakh to the next of kin of the deceased, officials said.
The chief minister expressed his condolences and asked the Agra district magistrate and senior superintendent of police to ensure the injured get proper medical treatment, they said. He sent his deputy Dinesh Sharma and Transport Minister Swatantra Dev Singh to the accident site by air. The committee, comprising the transport commissioner, the Agra divisional commissioner and an inspector general of police, will investigate the incident in 24 hours, the chief minister directed. It will give a report on the cause of the accident and also suggest long-term measures to avoid such accidents, Awasthi said. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh tweeted that BJP state general secretary Pankaj Singh went to the spot. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee also expressed her grief. “Saddened to hear about the tragic loss of lives because of another bus accident, this time near Agra. My heartfelt condolences to the grieving families. I wish the injured a speedy recovery. Let us all follow #SafeDriveSaveLife,” she said. “I express my deepest condolences to the families of those who died in the accident. I wish for the speedy recovery of the injured,” Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said in a Facebook post.

NEZCC fetes Governor Acharya DIMAPUR, JUL 8 (NPN): Nagaland governor, PB Acharya, whose five-year tenure as chairman of North East Zone Cultural Centre (NEZCC) would be completing soon, was honoured at a special get-together held at the office of the NEZCC, Dimapur on July 8, 2019. Speaking at the programme, Acharya thanked the officials of NEZCC for their support and cooperation. Governor said that his five years as governor has enriched his knowledge and strengthened his opinion towards the people of the state. Highlighting some of the development that took place during his tenure, the governor reminded the officials that there was still need for improvement in different sector.
He reminded the gathering that the role of NEZCC was not an entertainer, but promoter and preserver of the rich cultural heritage of the North Eastern states, which was made possible due to contribution of different artists from all the state. Acharya urged the people to work towards economic development in tune with the rest of the nation. He observed that despite of plenty natural resources, the region was lagging behind others. Governor reiterated that India cannot progress unless north east developed. He said that India was a secular country where every individual irrespective of religion have equal rights and had a responsibility to build India into a strong vibrant country.
Fur ther, gover nor thanked the people for their prayers and good wishes that strengthened him. N E Z C C d i r e c t o r, Jitul Sonowal, in his address, thanked the governor for his contribution towards the development of NEZCC. He also lauded the governor for being a capable and courageous torch bearer, which would always be remembered. The programme was marked by folk songs presented by Onentoshi and group and Vitahulu & group, Dimapur. Special songs were also presented by exhibition officer NEZCC, Phesao and officers and staff of NEZCC. T h e p r o g r a m m e wa s chaired by NEZCC deputy director, D Vashum.
Single lane traffic at Old KMC... (From p-1)
Currently, road construction machineries have been pressed into service and works are on in full swing to clear loose soils and filling up with boulder stones, while bamboo are being used as retention walls to prevent soil erosion.
However, it is likely to take some more time before normal traffic resumes through the affected area. After heavy rainfall, a stretch of NH-29 near the old KMC dumping site submerged and sank nearly two metres on July 4, forcing authorities to divert vehicles from Dimapur towards Kohima to Jotsoma bypass.

Meanwhile, a senior citizen also appealed to Power department authorities to check and cutdown tree branches near power lines and electric
poles to avoid any human casualty. There have been incidents when branches of trees break off during heavy rains accompanied by winds, thereby posing great threat to passersby
and the traffic, he added. Though there was no casualty, one such incident occurred in River Belt colony earlier this year when the branch of a tree broke off and completely damaged an auto rickshaw.

During the period from the FY09 to FY19, PSBs have mobilised Rs 2,81,616 crore of capital through sources other than government, and have posted a net profit of Rs 98,373 crore, of which a sizeable proportion has contributed to internal capital generation, Thakur said. “During the same period, the government has infused capital of Rs 3,15,721 crore in PSBs,” the minister said. In the Union Budget for FY2019-20, the government has proposed to make provision for infusion of Rs 70,000 crore capital to PSBs to boost credit for a “strong impetus” to the economy.

The Income Tax Department has issued Rs 64,700 crore worth refunds in the current fiscal, and for full 2018-19 fiscal the amount released was over Rs 1.61 lakh crore. Ranjan further said the department would be launching a scheme of faceless assessment to make it easier for taxpayers to comply, remove pain points which are associated with scrutiny process.

New Delhi, Jul 8 (PTI): The government has infused over Rs 3.15 lakh crore into public sector banks (PSBs) in the 11 years through 2018-19, Parliament was informed on July 8. Replying to a question related to capital shortage in PSBs to the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Finance Anurag Singh Thakur also said as per RBI guidelines, banks in India are required to maintain a minimum capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 9 percent. As on March 31, 2019, all 18 PSBs meet this minimum CRAR requirement, the minister said in the written reply.

the system liquidity is hugely in surplus and if individual banks have liquidity issue, the RBI will provide liquidity support to them. The Budget has announced a 10% backstop for the banks to implement NBFC package as part of a series of steps to give relief to non-banking financial companies facing cash crunch following the collapse of IL&FS last year. In a bid to address the stress in the sector, the government in the Budget proposed that public sector banks would purchase high-rated pooled assets of financially sound NBFCs, amounting to a total of Rs 1 lakh crore during the current financial year. For this, the government will provide one time six months’ partial credit guarantee to public sector banks for first loss of up to 10%. With regard to the

Echoing similar views, CBDT member Akhilesh Ranjan said the tax department is working to remove “pain points” which is associated with scrutiny process so that enforcement actions do not impede on genuine business activities. “Effort will be to develop trust and cooperation between taxpayer and tax department and to develop that through telling the in-

On the impact on fuel price hike on inflation, Das said it will take time for transmission to happen. The Monetary Policy Committee will meet in the first week of August, and will assess this, he said, adding that “there could be a marginal increase, but it’s not that, next day itself, it will impact inflation. It takes time for transmission.” Post the rise in fuel taxes announced by the government in the Budget for 2019-20, prices of petrol and diesel rose by at least Rs 2.4 and Rs 2.36 a litre respectively across metro cities. The prices increased after the Finance Minister raised excise duty and road and infrastructure cess by Rs 2 per litre on both the fuels. Asked about the government move to infuse Rs 70,000 crore in the PSBs, Das said it is a very positive development because it not only enables banks to maintain the capital they need to comply with the regulatory requirements. It will also give enough capital to the banks to step up their lending and credit disbursement and auger well for the banking system, he added.

New Delhi, Jul 8 (PTI): After delivering three back-to-back rate cuts, RBI Monday said it expects a quicker transmission of the interest rate cuts by banks to consumers by way of cheaper home, auto and personal loans. During this year, the RBI reduced the key policy rate thrice with an aggregate reduction of 0.75 percentage point in the repo rate, the rate at which RBI lends to banks. “In the last MPC meeting I had said that by that time 50 basis points of repo rate cut had been announced, and out of this 21 basis points had been transmitted. And one positive thing that is happening now is, earlier it used to take six months for transmission, now the transmission is taking a much shorter period of 2-3 months,” RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das said. “Thereafter we announced 25 basis points cut. So, it’s now entirely 75 basis point cut. We are collecting the data and also you have to keep in mind that right from the month of June, in fact, June 1, the system is more than adequately surplus in liquidity,” he said while addressing media after the customary post-budget meeting with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. He further said overall
Mumbai, Jul 8 (PTI): The rupee Monday declined by 24 paise to close at 68.66 against the US dollar, cutting short its three winning run due to a massive selloff in equities and weakening expectations of a rate cut by the US Federal Reserve in near future. Foreign institutional investors pulled out Rs 401.99 crore Monday, hitting the rupee sentiment. Emerging market currencies took a hit after the US job data fuelled expectations that the Federal Reserve will not cut interest rates quickly in near future. The US dollar traded strong against its rivals, and Asian currencies. Investors sentiment was subdued on concerns that increased surcharge on super-rich could affect foreign funds investing in India, which could lead to flight of foreign funds from the domestic markets, currency traders said. The r upee opened lower at 68.49 from the last close of 68.42 at the inter-bank foreign exchange (forex) market. The local unit lost further ground to touch a session low of 68.76 before closing at 68.66, marking a fall of 24 paise over its previous close. The rupee on Friday settled 8 paise higher at 68.42 against the dollar.

China accuses United States of ‘bullying tactics’
BEIJING, JUL 8 (PTI): China on Monday accused the US of creating a major global crisis with its “bullying tactics” as it regretted Iran’s decision to resume uranium enrichment beyond the 2015 nuclear deal limits, calling on all the parties to exercise restraint to avoid escalation of the crisis. Iran on Sunday announced to boost the enrichment of the uranium beyond the limits set by the landmark 2015 nuclear deal as a protest against President Donald Trump’s decision in May to pull the US out of the deal. While expressing regret and criticising the US for creating the crisis, China, however, skirted a direct response to the question whether it would continue to import Iranian oil in violation of the US sanctions. “China regrets the Iranian announcement to further scale back its commitment to the nuclear deal,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told reporters here. Ensuring the effective implementation of the deal is requirement of the UN Security Council resolution as well as the only viable way out of the nuclear issue and to ease the tensions, he said. “We call on all parties to bear in mind to keep the big picture and long term interests and exercise restraint and support the settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue” by creating conditions to jointly upholding the deal, Geng said.
Geng Shuang (File)
“The US maximum pressure is the root cause for the current crisis. The US not only pulled out of the nuclear deal but also exercised the unilateral sanctions and long arm jurisdiction over Iran creating increasing obstacles for the implementation of the deal. “This in effect has proven that unilateral bullying act has created greater crisis worldwide. The international community should stay committed to multilateralism and seek political and diplomatic settlement under the international law,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said. Asked whether China, which is a major importer of Iranian oil, will stop buying it in response to the US threat to impose sanctions, Geng said: “I shall stress the international community including China have normal cooperation with Iran. This is legal and legitimate. That should be respected and protected. “China is always opposed to the so called long arm jurisdiction we firmly defend our legal rights and
interests”. On the UK seizing an Iranian oil ship at Gibraltar for allegedly carrying oil to Syria in violation of the European Union sanctions targeting the Assad regime, Geng said: “we oppose the so called long arm jurisdiction and the unilateral sanctions”. “The Gulf region has important influence over global energy supplies and global security and stability. We hope relevant parties will exercise restraint and stay calm to avoid escalating tensions and upholding peace and stability in the Gulf. This is in the interest of all international community,” he added. Tr u m p l a s t we e k warned that Iran is “playing with fire” after Tehran announced that it has exceeded the limit on enriched uranium reserves under the 2015 nuclear deal from which the US walked out last year. The Inter national Atomic Energy Agency has confirmed that Iran had exceeded the limit that the deal imposed on its stockpile of low-enriched uranium. Under the 2015 nuclear deal, Iran had agreed to cap its stockpile of lowenriched uranium at 300 kilograms, one of the several restrictions on its nuclear activities, in exchange for the lifting of almost all international sanctions. Iranian officials, however, said that they are violating the terms of the deal because the US withdrew and reimposed sanctions on Tehran.
Mitsotakis becomes Greek PM after comfortable election win
Kyriakos Mitsotakis (File)
ATHENS, JUL 8 (AGENCIES): Conservative politician Kyriakos Mitsotakis was sworn in as Greece’s new prime minister on Monday after storming to victory on a pledge to create jobs and lure investment to the economically stricken nation. Mitsotakis’s New Democracy party won an outright majority with 158 seats in the 300-seat legislature. His pledges for more investments, well-paid jobs and fewer taxes won over Greeks worn out by years of EU-prescribed austerity and the euro zone’s highest unemployment. “Today we get started on the hard work. I have absolute confidence in our abilities to rise to the occasion,” Mitsotakis said after he was sworn in at a ceremony officiated by Greek Orthodox clergy at the presidential palace in Athens. He was later welcomed by outgoing premier Alexis Tsipras, a leftist who steered Greece out of bailouts, but was blamed for botching negotiations with international lenders and saddling the nation with more debt after he took over in 2015. “Strong mandate for big changes,” conservative Kathimerini newspaper said on its front page.
Another conservativeleaning paper, Ta Nea, said Mitsotakis now had “absolute domination”, making him an “all-powerful prime minister” for the next four years. On the Athens stock exchange the change of guard was greeted with profit-taking after a strong rally in previous days. The blue chip share index shed 1.7%, led by bank shares. “It’s mostly a ‘buy the rumour, sell the news’ session. Stocks had a strong run, anticipating the election result. Short-term traders are now closing positions, locking in profits,” said investment adviser Theodore Mouratidis. On the fixed-income side, gover nment bond yields tumbled to new alltime lows. The yield on 10-year government paper fell by as much as 14 basis points to 2.014%. “Greek sovereign debt is trading at yield levels consistent with an investment-grade rating,” said Markus Allenspach, head of fixed income research at Julius Baer in a note. “i.e. the market has priced in a lot of positive development from here.” Greeks hope the new government can make the economy work better after the country emerged from the close surveillance of its international lenders last year. The economy is now growing at a moderate clip, expanding by 1.3 percent on an annual basis in the first quarter. For Mitsotakis, however, the first test is likely to come from outside Greece, as tensions simmer between its close ally Cyprus and historic foe Turkey over offshore energy reserves.

Trump hits back as UK’s top envoy calls his White House ‘inept’ LONDON, JUL 8 (AFP): US President Donald Trump hit back on Sunday and the UK launched an inquiry after leaked memos revealed Britain’s ambassador in the US had described the president and his White House as “inept” and “uniquely dysfunctional”. Trump said Ambassador Kim Darroch had “not served the UK well” and that he and his administration were “not big fans” of the envoy. Darroch had said Trump’s presidency could “crash and burn” and “end in disgrace”, according to a cache of secret cables and briefing notes sent back to Britain seen by the Mail on Sunday newspaper. “We don’t really believe this administration is going to become substantially more normal; less dysfunctional; less unpredictable; less faction riven; less diplomatically clumsy and inept,” Darroch allegedly wrote in one dispatch. The paper said the most damning comments by Darroch described Trump, who was received by Queen Elizabeth II during a state visit to Britain just last month, as “insecure” and “incompetent”. A memo sent following the controversial visit said the president and his team had been “dazzled” by the visit but warned Britain might not remain “flavour of the month” because “this
Donald Trump (File)
is still the land of America First”. He reportedly wrote that the “vicious infighting and chaos” inside the White House -- widely reported in the US but dismissed by Trump as “fake news” -- was “mostly true”. Asked about the leak, Trump told reporters in the US: “The ambassador has not served the UK well, I can tell you that. “We are not big fans of that man and he has not served the UK well. So I can understand it, and I can say things about him but I won’t bother.” The UK foreign ministry said it would carry out a formal investigation into the leak. Jeremy Hunt, the foreign minister, distanced himself from Darroch’s remarks, saying: “It’s really important to say that the ambassador was doing his job as an ambassador which is to give frank reports and personal opinions about what’s happening in the
country where he works, and that’s his job to send back those reports but they are personal opinions, not the opinions of the British Government, not my opinion. “And we continue to think that under President Trump the United States administration is both highly effective and the best possible friend of Britain on the international stage.” Darroch is one of Britain’s most experienced diplomats whose posting in Washington began in January, 2016, prior to Trump winning the presidency. The Mail on Sunday said the memos, likely leaked by someone within Britain’s sprawling civil service, cover a period beginning in 2017. In one of the most recent reported dispatches filed on June 22, Darroch criticised Trump’s fraught foreign policy on Iran, which has prompted fears in global capitals of a military conflict, as “incoherent” and “chaotic”.

‘GoT’ showrunners top Google search for ‘bad writers’
A
Reddit campaign to link the phrase “bad writers” with the Game of Thrones showrunners at the top of Google search results has been successful. One Reddit user who was frustrated by the way D.B. Weiss and David Benioff handled the final season decided to rally round ‘upvotes’ in a bitter bid to slate the writers. The original post was made after episode 4 of season 8, which asked Reddit users to “Upvote this post so its [sic] the first result
when you google ‘Bad writers.’” 47,200 people have up-voted it at the time of writing, meaning that it now appears on the first page of search results for “bad writers”. The Reddit post isn’t the only vitriol by fans disappointed by the hit HBO show’s final series. In May, a petition was launched that called for it to be rewritten by “competent writers”. It surpassed one million signatures. Thrones star Sophie Turner (who portrayed Sansa Stark) hit out at
the petition, calling it “disrespectful”, while Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) defended the show’s ending. And more recently, George R.R. Martin, author of the books upon which the TV series is based, addressed how the internet exacerbates negative criticism of art. “The internet is toxic in a way that the old fanzine culture and fandoms – comic fans, science fiction fans in those days – was not,” Martin told the podcast Maltin on Movies in reference to the show’s ending. “There were disagreements. There were feuds, but nothing like the madness that you see on the internet,” he said. Meanwhile, those still wanting to celebrate Game of Thrones as a groundbreaking show regardless of any perceived misgivings can admire this 90metre tapestry on display at Belfast museum. It features embroidered imagery from all of the seasons. (NME)

She then needed a 9-7 third set to see off Serbia’s Ivana Jorovic before hitting back from 0-3 down in the decider to beat Swiss 13th seed Belinda Bencic in the third round. Meanwhile, seven-time Wimbledon singles champion Serena Williams reached the quarter-finals at SW19 with a dominant display against Spain’s Carla Suarez Navarro.

However, she had been dominant at the start on Monday, serving up four successive aces in the opening game on Court 2 before breaking for a 3-1 lead. Riske, who had spent four more hours on court than the Australian in getting this far, retrieved the break in the eighth game but it was a brief reprieve as Barty took the opener.
Riske had won the grass court title at ‘s-Hertogenbosch in the run-up to Wimbledon and her credentials on the surface eventually shone through as the match progressed. She broke in the fourth and eighth games of the second set and carved out the key break of the decider in the eighth game. It was all over when Barty speared a forehand wide of the court.

I then talked about it with my family, my parents, and here I am,” he added. The announcement came a few hours after PSG had announced signing another young player, Polish goalkeeper Marcin Bulka, 19. The attention at PSG has mainly been captured by Brazil star Neymar, especially after the most recent remarks by Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu. Bartomeu said PSG does not want to sell Neymar despite the player’s desire to leave the French powerhouse.
Milan, Jul 8 (Agencies): Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt has agreed personal terms with Juventus, his agent Mino Raiola has confirmed. It is understood that the agreement is worth £10.8m (€12m) per year - which equates to around £230,000 per week - but the clubs must now agree a transfer fee, with Ajax asking for £67.3m (€75m). Juventus are so far offering to pay £49.3m (€55m) plus £9m in bonuses (€10m) as negotiations continue for the highly-rated 19-year-old Netherlands international, who was previously linked with Barcelona. “Matthijs has agreed personal terms with Juve,” Raiola told Dutch paper De Telegraaf. “We’re waiting for them to complete the agreement with Ajax soon.”

The sweet-spot in Rafael Nadal’s racket appeared to be the size of a beachball on Monday as the Spaniard fired off winners left, right and centre to hurtle into the Wimbledon quarter-finals with a ruthless 6-2 6-2 6-2 win over Joao Sousa. The Spaniard was not pleased when he was seeded third at the grasscourt championships, despite his status as world number two, and even less happy when the draw put him on a second-round collision course with Australian maverick Nick Kyrgios. On Monday, however, he was all smiles as he enjoyed his quickest workout at this year’s tournament, ending Sousa’s bid to become the first Portuguese to reach the last eight of a Grand Slam with an ace. He will next face either Tennys Sandgren or Sam Querrey of the United States for a place in the semifinals. “It was a good solid match, the second serve didn’t work as well as two days ago, but the rest was very positive,” Nadal told BBC Sport. “I am happy to be where I am, the body is holding well and I’m playing some good tennis.”

He said at Queen’s that he had not targeted a return to the singles court at the U.S. Open in New York from Aug. 26-Sept. 8 as he was “going to go at my own pace”. M u r r ay a d d e d o n Monday that he was just enjoying being back on court and looking forward to his second-round match with Williams against Fabrice Martin and Raquel Atawo on Tuesday.

Brazil beat Peru to clinch Copa America title
Rio de Janeiro, Jul 8 (Agencies): Brazil didn’t need Neymar to win another Copa America title at home. With its injured star watching from the stands at a packed Maracanã Stadium on Sunday, Brazil beat Peru 3-1 to win its first South American title since 2007. It was Neymar’s replacement, Everton, who led the team to victory, scoring a goal and setting up another to give Brazil its ninth Copa America trophy, and fifth at home. Gabriel Jesus and Richarlison also scored for Brazil, which has won the title every time it hosted the tournament. Neymar, who was ruled out before the tournament because of an ankle injury, sat with his son close to Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro among the crowd of nearly 70,000 at the Maracanã. Brazilian fans had some reason to worry after Gabriel Jesus was sent off in the 70th minute because of a second yellow card, but Peru couldn’t pull off one last upset after eliminating Uruguay in the quarterfinals and two-time defending champion Chile in the semifinals.
Brazil players celebrate with the trophy after defeating Peru in the Copa America final in Rio de Janeiro.
Peru was trying to win its first Copa America trophy since 1975 and just its second overall. It hadn’t returned to the final since ‘75. The victory helped Brazil to regain the confidence of some supporters following its quarterfinal exit at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. It will also ease some of the pressure on coach Tite, who
had been criticized for his selections and the team’s lacklustre performances. Brazil hadn’t made it past the quarterfinals of the Copa America since beating Argentina 3-0 in the 2007 final in Venezuela. It didn’t even get past the group stage in 2016. The last time it won the Copa America at home had been in 1989, when
Romário scored the winner against Uruguay at the Maracanã. Brazil’s only other trophy since 2007 came in the 2013 Confederations Cup, also at home. Brazil arrived as a heavy favourite but it was an even match from the start, with the hosts not being able to press too much despite be-

Hima sprints to second gold in Poland
Hima Das
New Delhi, Jul 8 (IANS): Ace sprinter Hima Das bagged her second international gold inside a week after she won the women’s 200m race at the Kutno Athletics Meet in Poland on Sunday. Braving a sore back, the sprinter from Assam clocked 23.97 seconds to win the gold while Kerala runner V.K. Vismaya grabbed silver with a timing of 24.06 seconds. National record holder Muhammed Anas also won gold in the men’s 200m race with a timing of 21.18 seconds. On July 4, Hima had clocked 23.65 seconds to bag the gold in her first competitive 200m race of the year at the Poznan Athletics Grand Prix, also in Poland.
substitute, David Neres, struggled in the first couple of matches. Veteran striker Paolo Guerrero equalized with a 44th-minute penalty after a handball by Brazil defender Thiago Silva. The goal allowed Guerrero to become the Copa America’s all-time leading scorer among active players with 14 goals. It was the only goal conceded by Brazil in six games. Gabriel Jesus put the hosts ahead again in the third minute of first-half stoppage time with a low shot after an assist from midfielder Arthur. Peru tried to take control after Gabriel Jesus was sent off for a hard foul on an opponent, but the visitors were not able to create many significant chances. Brazil sealed victory when Richarlison, who had missed a few matches because of the mumps, converted a penalty kick in the 90th after Everton was fouled. Both penalty kicks had to be delayed for video reviews. Brazil’s veteran right back Dani Alves was voted the player of the tournament.

Khawaja ruled out of WC with injury
Birmingham, Jul 8 (IANS): Left-handed Australian batsman Usman Khawaja has been ruled out of the remainder of the ongoing World Cup with a hamstring injury. Head coach Justin Langar confirmed that Khawaja will miss Australia’s semifinal clash against England to be played on Thursday and will be out of action for at least three to four weeks. Khawaja picked up the injury while batting in Australia’s chase of 326 at Old Trafford on July 6 against South Africa, and he came out to bat for a second time after retiring hurt initially, but his team fell short by 10 runs. Matthew Wade was called up as cover for Khawaja and will need the approval of ICC’s Technical Committee for the wicketkeeperbatsman to replace Khawaja in the World Cup squad. “Ussie’s got a hamstring strain so he’ll be out for probably three to four weeks which is a real shame but we have to work hard on getting him up for the Ashes now,” Langer said. “Such a pity for him he’s been so integral to how we’ve been playing. Like Shaun
Usman Khawaja
(Marsh) I feel sad for him that he’s going to miss the World Cup semi-final.” The head coach, however, remained optimistic that Khwaja would be able to play in the first Ashes Test starting on August 1. “Hopefully he’ll be right,” Langer said. “It’s on the best part of a strain as you can get. It’s nothing to do with his tendon, it’s as good a strain as you can get basically. “Conservatively it’ll be three or four weeks, and with all the help and the rehab he’ll get hopefully he’ll be right for the practice game or certainly the first Test,” Langer added. Besides Khawaja, another injury concern for Australia ahead of their semifinal is all-rounder Marcus Stoinis who clutched his right side after throwing a ball in from the boundary against the Proteas.
‘Liverpool have unfinished business in PL’ London, Jul 8 (Agencies): Joe Gomez says Liverpool have unfinished business in the Premier League after coming so close to winning the title last season. Gomez formed a formidable central defensive partnership with Virgil van Dijk in the first half of the last campaign before injury curtailed his season, but he’s fit and raring to go again. Speaking to the club’s website Gomez was asked if there was a sense of unfinished business among the players with just over a month to go until the new season kicks off, “Definitely. He (Jurgen Klopp) said that this morning in the meeting. We can be happy and proud of the achievement but we’ve got so much more work to do and so many ways to improve as well.” “The Premier League was so close and I think that’s all the motivation we need, that we were so close but so far at the same time in the fact that we didn’t get it. It’s something we want to get this year and to do so we can’t get complacent or dwell on what happened last season, we have to hit the ground running again now.”
Joe Gomez
The bulk of the Liverpool squad are back in preseason training now with the first friendly, against Tranmere at Prenton Park in three days time. “Obviously it is as intense as you’d expect when you first come back, a lot of running and dusting the cobwebs off,” Gomez added. “But it feels good, it’s nice to be back. It was nice to end on such a high last season and we just want to
carry on where we left off and keep the momentum going.” Joel Matip played the bulk of the games at centrehalf in Gomez’s absence last season - but Gomez is prepared to play wherever he can to help the team, “I’ve played a number of positions over the years I’ve been here. I like to excel in one and nail that spot but I’m happy to play wherever for the team and the manager,” added Gomez.
Kashyap ready for US Open badminton India, New Zealand World Cup semi-final clash today
Parupalli Kashyap
Fullerton, Jul 8 (PTI): Two years ago, Parupalli Kashyap had signed off second best after being trumped by H S Prannoy in an enthralling all-Indian final at the US Open. Now, Kashyap will look to do one better in the tournament, starting with the qualifiers Tuesday. He will be high on confidence after finishing runners-up at the Canada Open on Sunday. Kashyap, a former Commonwealth Games
champion, will once again be at the forefront as he leads the Indian challenge at the USD 150,000 BWF World Tour Super 300 tournament. The 32-year-old from Hyderabad, a former top 10 player, has shown great fitness on his way to the final at Calgary, where he played four three-game matches. The senior pro, seeded sixth, will take on the promising Lakshya Sen, a 2018 Asian Junior Champion, in the opening round.
Prannoy, who had stayed back at Calgary to help Kashyap with on-court coaching and also acted as his physio, will look for a good outing after an erly exit at the Canada Open. The 26-year-old, who had won the tournament in 2017, has been seeded second and he will start against a tricky opponent in Japan’s Yu Igarashi. National champion Sourabh Verma, too, will hope to hang around for the weekend when he begins against England’s Toby Penty, while Ajay Jayaram will meet fourth seeded Wang Tzu Wei of Chinese Taipei. Jayaram will look to take some tips from Kashyap, who had defeated Wang at Calgary. In women’s singles, Anura Prabhudesai will take on a qualifier, while Sri Krishna Priya Kudaravalli faces Korean third seed Kim Ga Eun. The men’s doubles pair of Manu Attri and B Sumeeth Reddy will square off against Korean combination of Lee Yong Dae and Yoo Yeon Seong.
Manchester, Jul 8 (PTI): It has been a dream World Cup campaign for Virat Kohli’s men and now everything boils down to having two perfect days. The quest starts with the semifinal clash against New Zealand here on Tuesday. And though the formidable Indian top-order, led by tournament top-scorer Rohit Sharma, is expected to deliver, New Zealand’s seam attack will also be ready and waiting to knock at the corridor of uncertainty. It has been a campaign in which Kohli and his men have been successfully able to hide their chinks even without a suitable ‘Plan B’ but they don’t have an option of letting the script go awry anymore. The sub-plots promise to be fascinating - Rohit trying to hook a Lockie Ferguson bouncer, KL Rahul negotiating one from Trent Boult that could tail in, Kohli smashing Matt Henry all around. Or it could be Kane Williamson’s near perfect technique against spinners or Ross Taylor trying to get

a grip of Jasprit Bumrah. Last but not the least is whether Mahendra Singh Dhoni is able to get a hang of Mitchell Santner’s slow left-arm orthodox bowling having watched him closely at the Chennai Super Kings nets. A near flawless campaign could come to a naught against a gutsy Black Caps side which has always
asked probing questions in ICC tournaments. To India’s comfort, New Zealand’s tournament has gone on a downward spiral during their last three games but their initial good work helped them beat Pakistan to a last four spot. But it couldn’t have been more enticing that Rohit (647), KL Rahul (360) and Virat Kohli (442) with
a cumulative contribution of 1347 runs will meet their match in Ferguson (17 wickets), Boult (15 wickets) and Matt Henry (10 wickets), who have shared 42 wickets between them. Not to forget that allrounder Jimmy Neesham (11 wickets) and Colin de Grandhomme (5 wickets) take the seamers’ tally to 58 wickets. New Zealand’s
‘achilles heel’ has been their batting as none from their top-order, save Williamson (481 runs), have been able to stamp their authority. Bumrah didn’t play the last bilateral series in New Zealand and he could prove to be more than a handful for the horribly out of form Martin Guptill (166) and Coin Munro (125). New Zealand’s poor batting is reflected from the fact that save Williamson, the only other top-order player to have crossed an aggregate of 250 runs is Ross Taylor (261). In terms of batting, they are no match for India where a much criticised Dhoni has also scored near 300 runs. India will fancy bowling first considering Bumrah and Mohammed Shami’s good form. However, there could be some changes in the line-up as number of right-handers in the New Zealand line-up may prompt India to drop one of the two wrist spinners. England would be up against Australia in the second semifinal on July 11 in Birmingham.
