DIMAPUR, JUN 12 (NPN): Dimapur Police has made a major breakthrough in the gruesome murder of three youths on June 4 at KSW Complex, Golaghat Road with the arrest of two persons on Tuesday.

In a joint operation conducted by Dimapur police along with Manja police, the two were arrested from their villages under Diphu police station and brought to Dimapur

around 7:30 pm. They accused been identified as one Arun Rongpi (19), son of Monsing Rongpi from Shikari Timong village, and Waisong Engti (18) @ Bimol Sing Teron, son of Lee Engti from Beron Terong village.

Briefing media persons at East PS, Addl. DCP & PRO, Yanrenthung said Arun was the first to be arrested (around 1:30 p.m.) at Duskilo and four hours later Waisong was arrested from 5th Mile, Diphu. He said the police started the inves-

tigation from the scratch as there were no particulars of the suspects. However, the police were able to crack the case on June 9 with the help of CCTV footage and after identifying from the locals of Karbi Anglong district. PRO said police also had a difficult time to locate the two as they did not use mobile phones etc. He said police also had to walk through jungles to reach their villages.

According to PRO, the duo after committing the murder on June 4, escaped through the bathroom window and boarded a train at around 5 a.m. and reached Diphu around 7 a.m., before the two departed to their respective villages. PRO said they were yet to ascertain the motive behind the killing as investigations was still on.

Meanwhile, Dimapur police has thanked Karbi Anglong SP and Manja police for their assistance in nabbing the two suspects.

World leaders hail Trump-Kim summit

ers them “very provocative” and said it would save the US “a tremendous amount of money”.

War games would not be revived “unless and until we see the future negotiation is not going along like it should”, Trump said, adding that he believed Kim would live up to the agreement.

Trump also said he hopes to eventually withdraw US forces from South Korea, but said “that’s not part of the equation right now”.

He said he had invited Kim to visit the White House and that the North Korean leader had accepted his invitation.

Trump said he had formed a “ver y special bond” with Kim and that the relationship with North Korea would be very different in the future. He called Kim “very smart” and a “very worthy, very hard negotiator”.

Pyongyang and Washington also agreed to commit to recovering the remains of prisoners of war and those missing in action during the 1950-53 Korean War, including an immediate repatriation of those

already identified.

One major issue that appeared to remain unresolved following the summit was North Korea’s brutal human rights record, which Trump had slammed in 2017 after the death of US college student Otto Warmbier, who was held captive in Pyongyang for 17 months and then released in a coma.

Trump said human rights issues were raised on Tuesday, but he did not give details. He said Warmbier “did not die in vain”.

After the announcement on the joint exercises

by Trump, South Korea’s presidential office said: “We need to try to understand what President Tr ump said.”

However, a spokesman for South Korean President Moon Jae-in said that South Korea understood the need to try to make progress in North Korea’s relations with the US. The summit in Singapore was first between the leaders of North Korea and US after nearly 70 years of confrontation and 25 years of failed negotiations and tensions over Pyongyang’s nuclear programme.

Torrential rains trigger landslide in Manipur Assamese trader goes missing from M’laya State relief and disaster management sounds flood, landslide alert

Correspondent

IMPHAL, Jun 12: The Imphal-Jiribam National Highway (NH- 37) was partially blocked on Tuesday following a massive landslide in Manipur’s Noney district, bringing vehicular traffic to a halt.

The landslide was allegedly triggered because of stone quarry in the hill

portion of the highway.

Stones have been excessively quarried from the site, reports said.

The landslide occurred at 35 milestones between T Laijang and Senam village early Tuesday morning, around 4.20 am.

Owing to the landslide, hundreds of heavy vehicles including buses were stranded on both sides of

and Noney districts continuously in the last two days.

On the other hand, with medium rainfall continuing, all the rivers across the valley districts were running above the danger marks and some small rivers in Thoubal and Imphal West districts have been overflowed in some areas Tuesday.

Reports said that overflow and breach of bank of Maklang River running in western part of Imphal West district have inundated some low lying areas along the course of the river.

With the river starting to submerge paddy fields and other low lying areas, hundreds of families have been shifted to safer place voluntarily.

Major rivers like Imphal, Iril, Nambul and

Kongba running passing through the twin Imphal districts were also running above the danger marks.

With rapid raise of water level, the Imphal River passing through the heart of state capital city has also crossed the warning level late Tuesday afternoon.

Meanwhile, state relief and disaster management department has sounded flood and landslide alert to district administrations across the state while citing weather forecast from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD).

IMD predicted of heavy to very heavy rain at few places with extremely heavy cases at some isolated places of Manipur. It may continue till June 15, state relief and disaster management department said.

62 arrested for KA killing, spreading hate messages on social media

Guwahati, Jun 12 (PTI): Sixty-two persons have so far been arrested from different parts of Assam in the brutal killing of two men in Karbi Anglong district and spreading rumours and hate messages on social media that fuelled the sensational incident.

Two friends - Nilotpal Das (29) and Abhijeet Nath (30) - were on Friday pulled out of their vehicle at Panjuri in Karbi Anglong district and beaten to death by a group of irate villagers, who suspected them to be child-lifters.

The incident was recorded by locals on their mobile phones and circulated on social media.

Protests continued across the north eastern state over the dastardly incident.

Two persons were today arrested, taking the tally of the number of arrests in the case to 26.

Also, 13 persons were arrested today for misuse of social media in connection with the killing of the duo, taking the tally of such arrests to 36, an Assam Police spokesperson said.

Seven persons each

were arrested from Nagaon and Karbi Anglong districts, six from Sonitpur and three each from Kamrup Metropolitan and Darrang, he added.

Besides, two each from Biswanath, Sadiya and Dhubri have been arrested, while one each from Hojai, Sivasagar, Dibrugarh and Barpeta districts were arrested in connection with spreading rumours on social media, the official said.

The crackdown on the misuse of social media was launched by the police after initial investigations suggested that messages posted on social media about child-lifters entering the state from outside may have led to the lynching episode.

The police have also issued an advisory asking people to refrain from spreading rumours on social media.

Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Mukesh Agarwal is monitoring the situation on the spot and also the search operations by security forces.

RTI activist and peasant leader Akhil Gogoi expressed shock over the

incident and demanded a CBI probe into the episode.

Earlier in the day, parents of Nilotpal Das urged people to desist from politicising the issue.

“We are grateful to all for extending their support to us in this hour of grief but we appeal to maintain

peace and calm,” they said in a statement issued here.

During the day, protests took place in some places in the state with agitators blocking a road at Hojai by burning tyres.

They demanded exemplary punishment to the culprits.

CM to introduce sensitisation programme

The Assam government plans to introduce an awareness programme in all development blocks and panchayats of the state in the wake of incidents triggered by superstition and rumours, including the lynching of two persons in Karbi Anglong district recently.

A decision to this effect was taken at a highlevel meeting chaired by Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal here last evening, an official release said Tuesday.

Two friends - Nilotpal Das (29) and Abhijeet Nath (30) - were on Friday pulled out of their vehicle at Panjuri in Karbi Anglong district and beaten to death by a group of irate villagers, who suspected them to be child-lifters. The incident was recorded by locals on their mobile phones and circulated on social media.

Sonowal asked the authorities to frame modalities and a roadmap for implementing the awareness programme ‘Sanskaar’ at all levels, in coordination with local bodies, women organisations and media persons.

“Assam is known all over India for its unique hospitality and people coming from all over the country must feel an ambience of friendliness where ever they go in the state,” the release said quoting the chief minister.

Congress members resign Bhaichung worried over en-masse; join NPP in M’laya substance abuse in Sikkim

Correspondent

Ranikor, Jun 12: Opposition Congress party in Meghalaya suffered a setback Tuesday after the primary members of the Ranikor Block Congress in South West Khasi Hills district resigned en-masse and joined the ruling National People’s Party (NPP) over the failure of the previous Congress government to create Ranikor Sub-division.

Senior Congress legislator Martin M Danggo, who had won for five consecutive terms from Ranikor Assembly constituency, is also expected to quit as member of the assembly as well as from the primary membership of Congress once the government announce the creation of Ranikor Sub-division.

“This is a genuine and a longstanding demand (creation of Ranikor SubDivision) of the people of this region. This region too needs development and the NPP-led government wants to bring the administration more closely to the people,” said Chief Minister Conrad Sangma.

Last year, former Chief Minister Mukul Sangma, who is now the Leader of Opposition had upgraded Ranikor Community and Rural Development Block to Ranikor administrative

unit amidst protest by the Khasi Students’ Union for not upgrading the Block to Sub-Division.

Danggo, who was present at the public gathering, declared that he will resign from the primary membership of the Congress as well as from the assembly once the Chief Minister announce upgradation of Ranikor to a Sub-Division.

“I have raised the matter on the need to upgrade Ranikor to a Sub-Division with several (former) Chief Ministers DD Lapang and Mukul Sangma but they never realised the need of development of this region,” the Ranikor Congress legislator said. However, Danggo expressed happiness with the announcement of the Chief Minister on the need to upgrade Ranikor administrative unit to a sub-division. “I will resign as member of the Congress and the assembly once the Chief Minister declare that Ranikor is being upgraded to a Sub-Division.”

D a n g g o, a f o r m e r Public Works Department minister has been in touch with the NPP leadership and had expressed his desire to join NPP even before going to the Assembly polls.

The NPP at present has 20 MLAs, while the opposition Congress has 21 MLAs in the 60-member Assembly.

Guwahati, Jun 12 (Agencies): Aminul Haque Laskar, Assam’s sole Muslim BJP legislator, has received a letter threatening him with dire consequences unless he resigns from the party in 15 days, police said on Tuesday.

Two bullets of a .32 pistol were taped to the missive, written in Bengali with red ink. “The letter was posted from Karimganj on May 22, and I received it on June 9. It accused me of siding with the BJP despite being a Muslim,” the 52year-old politician said.

The letter was reportedly sent by the Barak Valley unit of the Save Secure and Development Protection Force of Muslims, a hitherto unknown organisation.

Fatal habits

ancer of the oro-dental and stomach are high among people of Nagaland which also includes many as young as seven to ten years, said a recent study. Though not a tobacco producer, nor manufacturer nor cultivator; yet Nagaland ranks as highest among tobacco consumers in the country. The money spent by every second male and third female for chewing gutka or pan masala runs into several crores rupee for the Rs.20,000 crore tobacco industry of India. According to the Health & Family Welfare department in 2015, about 28.3 per cent of children in the age group of 5-13 years are smokeless tobacco users while 14.8 per cent of them are into smoking in Nagaland, the second highest consumer of tobacco products in the country. Nagaland is the second highest consumer of tobacco products in the country with 57 per cent of its population either into smoking or being smokeless tobacco users with Mizoram tops the list with 67 per cent. Nagaland has about 68 per cent male tobacco users and 28 per cent female tobacco users. The most common precancerous diseases due to tobacco consumption are Oral Sub-Mucous Fibrosis (OSMF) and Leukoplakia. These conditions do not fall under cancer but are potential and clear warning signs that prolonged intake could lead to progression into cancer. First, smokeless tobacco products like pan masala, khaini and gutkhas are classified under ‘Food’ in Food and Safety Act which makes it legally difficult to take on tobacco companies and restrict sale of tobacco products. There are ten to fifteen new cases of pre-malignant lesions or precancerous diseases in youngsters reported in a medical chamber in Dimapur. According to a government medical practitioner there was a minimum of two new cases of precancerous diseases among youngsters reported every week in his chamber in Civil Hospital, Dimapur.

He said patients also get treated at numerous private hospitals and clinics, and therefore it was difficult to ascertain exactly how many youths in Dimapur report oral cancer or precancerous oral diseases. Another grey area is the implementation of COTPA of 2003 in spirit. There is a district anti-tobacco squad to check the sale of tobacco products near educational institutions but it is impossible for them to be everywhere.

Cancer screening at the right time could reduce 80 per cent chances of cervical cancer, 50 per cent chances of gastrointestinal cancer and 25 per cent chances of breast cancer by use of modern technologies applied in developed countries. But nearly 80 percent people in India come late for diagnosis,” Dr Ravi Mehrotra Director of Institute of Cytology and Preventive Oncology said. Nationally, according to estimates there would be 15 lakh new cases of cancer each year in India with breast, lung and cervical cancers topping the list. Stomach and liver cancer are more commonly occurring in Meghalaya and Tamilnadu, gall bladder in Lucknow, lung in Gujarat, prostate in Delhi and Kerala, and leukemia in Jammu and Kashmir. In the Northeast, tobacco-related cancers have the highest rates in the country (eg, tongue in males; lung, mouth, nasopharynx and oesophagus in both men and women).

Other types of cancers with known infectious causes are also highest in the Northeast, for examples, cancers of the liver in men and cervix in females.These reports indicate a need to change habits and lifestyles but can the people of the state do that?

—John 1:38-39 Where our self-interest sleeps and the real interest is awakened. “They…remained with Him that day….”

That is about all some of us ever do. We stay with Him a short time, only to wake up to our own realities of life. Our self-interest rises up and our abiding with Him is past. Yet there is no circumstance of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus.

“You are Simon….You shall be called Cephas” (John 1:42). God writes our new name only on those places in our lives where He has erased our pride, self-sufficiency, and self-interest. Some of us have our new name written only in certain spots, like spiritual measles. And in those areas of our lives we look all right. When we are in our best spiritual mood, you would think we were the highest quality saints. But don’t dare look at us when we are not in that mood. A true disciple is one who has his new name written all over him— self-interest, pride, and self-sufficiency have been completely erased.

Pride is the sin of making “self” our god. And some of us today do this, not like the Pharisee, but like the tax collector (see Luke 18:9-14). For you to say, “Oh, I’m no saint,” is acceptable by human standards of pride, but it is unconscious blasphemy against God. You defy God to make you a saint, as if to say, “I am too weak and hopeless and outside the reach of the atonement by the Cross of Christ.” Why aren’t you a saint? It is either that you do not want to be a saint, or that you do not believe that God can make you into one. You say it would be all right if God saved you and took you straight to heaven. That is exactly what He will do! And not only do we make our home with Him, but Jesus said of His Father and Himself, “…We will come to him and make Our home with him” (John 14:23). Put no conditions on your life— let Jesus be everything to you, and He will take you home with Him not only for a day, but for eternity.

ndian history is replete with tragedies which, when retold, suggest that the happenings could have been avoided. Operation Bluestar is one of them. Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, a militant, holed himself up at the Akal Thakt, the highest Sikh seat, and created a state within state. Prime Minister Indira Gandhi used the army to silence his guns and sent tanks into the Harmandir Saheb. Whatever one may say, Bhindranwale continues enjoy respect in the hearts of Sikhs.

I had a taste of it the other day when, unwittingly, I referred to him as a terrorist. Sikh historian Khushwant Singh could get away with the remark that Bhindranwale was a terrorist. But I could not.

Although I explained that it was an off-the-cuff remark, not meant to cast any reflection on Bhindranwale, there were furores in the Sikh community that my apology was not taken as an apology. I was criticized for having offended the Sikhs.

Indeed, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi wanted to finish the Akalis and

found an opportunity while challenging Bhindranwale.

In fact, there was more to it than just what meets the eyes. According to one story which was later confirmed by her personal secretary R.K. Dhawan, the plan was to garner voters for the 1984 Lok Sabha elections which were due a few months later.

Indira Gandhi’s son Rajiv Gandhi, nephew Arun Nehru and Rajiv’s adviser Arun Singh were at the back of the decision which forced Mrs Gandhi to order the army to storm the Golden Temple at Amristar to flush out the militant leader and his cohorts. Dhawan was quoted as saying that the trio—Rajiv, Arun Nehru and Arun Singh—believed that a successful army operation could enable them to win the elections hands down.

Operation Bluestar was not just Mrs Gandhi’s last battle. It was the first, and perhaps the most disastrous, of Rajiv’s blunders.

A report in the Caravan magazine said that “Indira Gandhi, who had evidently approved Bluestar with the greatest reluctance, regret-

ted the operation immediately, according to Dhawan, who was with her when she first saw images of the damage to the shrine.” President Giani Zail Singh wanted to visit the shine to make amends but was dissuaded.

He took a civilian plane on his own and visited Kuldip the Golden Temple to offer his apology.

The deepest cut was that he was asked to defend the operation on AIR. Subsequently, he told me that he wanted to say no but realized that it would create a crisis in the country, the President taking one line and the government the other. He did go on air and defended the operation. He literally wept while addressing the nation.

Mrs Gandhi, too, was horrified to see the footage of the Golden Temple which was brought by Arun Singh. Arun Nehru told me that his phupi (aunt Indira Gandhi) was not willing to carry out the operation until the last minute. But then the army chief and also the trio, which guided Operation Bluestar, eventually changed her mind. This

was mainly because Rajiv Gandhi had started dealing directly with Punjab affairs which until some time ago was handled by his brother, Sanjay Gandhi.

It is another matter that Mrs Gandhi had to pay with her life for the attack on the Golden Temple Nayar when her security guards gunned her down. Rajiv Gandhi swept to power with the biggest mandate (421 seats in a house of 544 members) in Indian history following his mother’s assassination.

I was a part of the team which comprised General Jagjit Singh Aurora, Air Marshal Arjun Singh and Inder Gujral, who subsequently became the Prime Minister, to span the distance between the Akalis and the government on the one hand and Sikhs and Hindus on the toher.

Our finding was that the Army operation was not necessary and that Bhindranwale could have been dealt with differently. We said so in our report to the Punjabi Group which had deputed us to probe into the anti-Sikh riots that followed Mrs Gandhi’s as-

sassination.

P.V. Narasimha Rao was the then Home Minister and he was equivocal when our team met him to appraise of the government action. All other people, including the witnesses whom we spoke to, made a case where it was clear that the government had overreacted. The anti-Sikh riots in Delhi and neighbouring areas could have been suppressed immediately. But then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhidid intentionally did not ask either the police or the Army to intervene.

He reportedly remarked that the riots were spontaneous. He even reacted by saying that when a big tree falls, the earth is bound to shake.

Now 34 years after the Army stormed the Golden Temple, the declassified British documents show that the UK military advised India on retaking the temporal seat of Sikhs, kicking off political storms in both London and New Delhi. The British Government has ordered an inquiry into the revelations and the BJP has demanded an explanation.

The revelation is con-

tained in a series of letters declassified recently by the National Archives of the UK after the 30-year secrecy rule. In an official communication, dated February 23, 1984 and titled ‘Sikh Community’, an official with the Foreign Secretary told the private secretary to the Home Secretary that “the Foreign Secretary wishes him to be made aware of some background which could increase the possibility of repercussions among the Sikh communities in this country”.

The letter went on to say that if the British advice were to emerge in public, it could increase tension in the Indian community in Britain. However, there is no evidence in any of the communication if the British plan was finally used for the June 1984 operation.

When I was posted as High Commissioner in 1990, I found that there was a prejudice against the Sikhs entering the building and one of my first action was to throw open the doors to all. The search of only the Sikhs when entering the High Commission was discontinued.

Post-mortem

T

he manipulations of our origin that is clearly being attempted by Hidutva is the declaration that “The Christians in India are children of Ram,” by Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti, Union Minister of State for Food Processing Industries. She, a BJP MP of Fatehpur (UP) adopted deceptive tactics in her attempt to misinterpret the identity of non-Hindus including Nagas. Nagas belong to the Mongolian race and have nothing to do with Ram historically, religiously or in any other way. The so-called Ghar Wapsi or “homecoming” conversion melas or uniform civil codes do not arise in the case of Nagas, including Gaidinliu’s Heraka.

Her statement is aimed at reviving the unsound idealism of the four varnas of her party’s One Book, One Religion, One Language and One Culture. To manipulate and include other non- Hindus, such as Nagas, to become children of Ram, and a low caste community under the most hated caste system to gain at their finger tips control over our people as Dalits is highly unacceptable. The practice of caste is a necessary factor of the four varnas as understood by them under Hinduism.

Naturally the BJP Govt’s offer for “sharing of the Sovereignty with India,” to the Nagas to let them accept the constitution of India appears to be one of their top priorities.

As such, Mr R N Ravi, the interlocutor for G o I has repeatedly offered the same. One should not be confused with “sharing of Sovereignty” as that of “shared Sovereignty;” they are greatly different from each other. When two sovereign nations mutually agree upon certain terms and conditions in their constitutions, that, is a “shared Sovereignty” between them. New Zealand and Island of Niue are the only example. Independence shall have to come first in order to have “shared Sovereignty”, without prior independence there can be no “shared Sovereignty” It speaks the importance to remain firm on the stand taken by our forefathers under the aegis

of the Naga Club, with the Simon Commission of 1929 for sovereignty and the plebiscite of 1951 reaffirming the same. “Nagas are not Indians; and their territory is not a part of the Indian Union” declared Khrisanisa Seyie, First President, FGN. “No solution without sovereignty and integration” declared NSCN IM Ato Kilonser Th Muivah on 14.08.2015.

“No talk without sovereignty” President NNC Addino Phizo confirmed the rejection of the Indian constitution and children of Ram. Shillong Accord of 1975 signed by the Representatives of Underground Organisations (RUO), were some amongst the veterans of the Naga struggle conducted by NNC and FGN. The vast majority of the Nagas immediately reacted against it as the discussion of the Accord was to take place within the Indian constitution that had already been accepted in the Accord under the duress. The public call for rejection of the Accord thus started as soon as it was brought to Nagaland.

No discussion ever took place between Delhi and the RUO signatories as the same was rejected. The sad reality was that too many of their leaders and followers were assassinated for the Accord, condemning them as traitors who sold out their sovereignty.

This should never ever be repeated. It is a clear proof that the four varnas or caste system has no room in the Naga society, Among others, the proposal of renaming Dimapur Airport after Gaidinliu by a BJP MP from Odisha in Parliament Session in the past seems to be a move in the same direction to percolate Hinduism into the Naga society, since they consider Gaidinliu’s Heraka as a branch of their Hinduism. The BJP with its outfits such as RSS, VHP and Bajrang Dal has been making all sorts of forceful attempts to abolish the secular credentials of India down the ages. It has partially succeeded with Modi at the helm in New Delhi but a politically, culturally and religiously worked out Hindutva monolith cannot last. India will pay a very heavy price for the

attempt BJP is seemingly set to make.

It is not understood as to why some of our Naga politicians talk of an honourable Naga political settlement and at the same time induce the BJP and its outfits to control Naga politics with Hinduization. We have witnessed a certain section of Naga public shouting on top of their hearts praising “Jai Mata Di Jai” as well as “Jai Jisu Ji Jai” in public places. Worshiping the Hindu mother goddess manifested as Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati just for political mileage or money, trying to confuse the Nagas is unacceptable.

The Hindu Kingdom had to be ruled by the Moghul dynasties and the British for over 800 years.

Caste system is responsible for this sad history. Hinduism with its much hated notorious track record of caste is a curse. A case in point is the snobbery of high caste towards Dalits who are their own brothers - treated as being lower than their dogs. This insanity does not go together with the nationalist spirit of patriotism or dignity.

The severe social drawbacks produced by the caste system explain why 665 million poor Indians cannot afford lavatories till date and are compelled to defecate in the open. India is known for the abject poverty, ignorance, lack of civic sense or social ethics and disease-breeding unhygienic living conditions of her poor people.

As such, she is despised and segregated randomly by other civilised countries since hundreds of years of such slavery present even today. Mahatma Gandhi was strongly committed against the evils of the caste system and he tragically ended up being its victim. A BJP MP’s glorification of his assassin, Nathuram Godse, or the installation of many statues in honour of Godse, is an ugly reflection of the philosophy and doctrine of life advocated by the BJP, RSS, VHP or Bajrang Dal. That followed the dirty politics of defacing the statues of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr Ambedkar took place recently. Does this lawlessness explain the 500% increase in rape cases?

The situation reminds one of Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar’s statement with a broken heart, that “to become human they have to quit Hinduism” and he said, “I was born a Hindu, I had no choice.

I will not die a Hindu because I do have a choice.”

For him, the Hindus are as good or as bad as any other people on earth, but they practise caste and untouchability because it is a part of their religion and they had no choice.

Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s BJP of religious tolerance is healthy for the Hindus as well as other religious communities but Modi’s BJP is different.

We must see where the position of the Nagas would be in the future Hindu Rastra and the sharing sovereignty offer link with children of Ram, the BJP is clearly committed to bring about. A Brahmin tailor was doing alteration of my trousers thinking that I was from Japan. But when I told him of my Naga identity, he threw my trousers out into the street in Pune in 1982. I took a legal battle with him. Several RSS youth constantly threatened me with dire consequences for a long time. They broke most of my window panes at Symbiosis International Hostel, trying to force me to withdraw the case, compelling me to arm myself with an iron rod concealed in a leather cover and a helmet to be ready for 7 into 4 to accept their wild challenge to fight them physically.

I received the strong support from the Naga Maharastrian Association Pune and a whole hearted support from a Brahmin Rtd Army Colonel R N Rege during this time of crisis. He went all out to help me. Justice was delivered as there was secular character in the country at that time. As such, caste and other discriminations could be effectively challenged. Had our Naga Club accepted Ram to be their father instead of Simon Commission and Plebiscite, the situation would have been completely different. Similarly, one must think twice for the GenNext.

The different BJP and Hindutva outfits committed to extremism may not

burn us to death in our Nagaland as was done to the believers in main land India, including Graham Staines and his two sons because the extremists did not like the anti – leprosy Christian mission of mercy the Staines were serving.

But they will try to distort our origin, political history and priceless Christian identity by the excessive use of money for inducement, manipulation of power and unscrupulous interpretation of history and culture to achieve their mission of four varnas through our power greedy politicians. However, these oppressive measures that the resurgent RSS brand of Hinduism has started to launch for conversion will not be able to weaken our stand. Rather it will help us move forward ever stronger.

The outfits of BJP are not our enemy, they are our good neighbours. We are not fighting against the

sinners but only against the sins. We must love them dearly with our whole hearts. This is a spiritual breathing, lets reason together for a peaceful future. We ourselves are our own worst enemy; our downfall lies in our own immoral ways of doing things to solve our problems. This has resulted in rampant corruption, fratricides, extortions, short-cut methods to achieve power and abuse of power as is witnessed today. We need not be terrified by what they may do to fulfil their plans, if our lives demonstrate integrity and character worthy of respect.

Unemployed youth under pressure Sir,

With all due respect, I would like to publish this short article with the title of “The change is coming like FIFA WC and unemployment of youth are very much under pressure “.

In very nook and corner people are so keen to watch Fifa world cup, and even paying moral support to their favourite countries. Every country has been preparing to play their best to bring laurel and recognition as Fifa world cup champion to the world.

Likewise, I am so eager to see our state ever clean and green because we all have heard that “the change is coming” quote by the PDA govt. Under the motto, deeds not by word are very impressive, thanks to the government for your bright thinking at the betterment of our state and especially for the Nagas.

As a graduate and being an unemployed youth, I would like to state that every department should advertise the post if there is vacancy. I have been observing and questioning to myself where those retired vacancies without advertisement are and yet the retired vacancy has been employed. We should not differentiate to each other but remember that we all are God created and the good deed doesn’t depend to own relatives or well-known persons only. Rather it depends upon without partiality and to choose the good and qualified persons.

Honestly, in some departments I have already applied but still they show no sign of written test but only to display the post.

Once again, I warmly congratulate all the successful leaders. Dear sirs, we the precious voters are hoping very soon that changes be taken.

Rahul pleads not guilty; court frame charges in defamation case

No militant recruitment during ceasefire, says GoC

S r i nag a r , J u n 1 2 (PTI): There are no indications of an increase in militant recruitment during the unilateral ceasefire by the Centre in Kashmir, but Pakistan is still trying to push ultras from across the LoC into the valley, a top Army official said here today.

General Officer Commanding (GoC) of the Srinagar-based Chinar Corps, Lieutenant General A K Bhatt also noted that people of Kashmir have responded well to the Centre’s announcement of non-initiation of combat operations (NICO) during Ramzan and some peace has been achieved in the valley.

Asked about any increase in militant recruitment since the unilateral ceasefire was announced by the Centre at the beginning of the holy month of Ramzan, the Corps commander told PTI “There are no indications as such at the moment and we hope it will come down”.

“Since the ceasefire, some peace has been achieved and the public has responded well to it. We will be happy if there is no civil casualty in these 30 days of Ramzan,” he said.

The GoC said any decision regarding extension of ceasefire will have to be taken by the government but the Army was ready to

implement any such decision.

“That decision has to be taken by the government and we are ready to implement any such decision,” he said. Asked about infiltration attempts from across the LoC, Lt Gen Bhatt said there were attempts by Pakistan, but the troops were deployed to stop them.

“As far as infiltration is concerned, Pakistan is still fully engaged in attempting infiltration, but our troops are deployed to stop such attempts,” he said.

On spike in weapons snatching incidents in the valley, the Corps commander said it was the frustration of the militants.

“This is their frustration. Police have foiled many such attempts recently and the police are responding to it very effectively,” he said.

Earlier, Lt Gen Bhatt inaugurated the Army’s Kashmir Super 30 (Medical) free residential coaching for NEET aspirants.

“It is a proud moment and a happy moment for us that we have selected 30 students from across the J-K for the Super 30 (Medical).

I am sure these students will get good coaching and secure admission in best colleges across the country and earn a name for themselves, for their parents and for the country,” he said.

would be taken care of by the NHAI, to speed up the land acquisition process,” he said.

Gadkari denied that the absence of Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar led to delays in the implementation of infrastructure projects in the state.

“Our (Goa) ministers are very competent. They are giving good cooperation,” he said.

He said the Goa government has completed all the formalities required to start the projects.

“In the absence of Parrikar, all the people are behaving very responsibly and they are cooperating with us. We don’t have any problem,” he added.

Gadkari said the work on third bridge on Mandovi river near Panaji has been going on at a fast pace.

“This would be the third longest cable-stayed bridge in the country. The first one being Worli Bandra Sea Link project in Mumbai,” he said.

10 killed in lightning strike incidents in WB

UK may link extradition of Nirav, Centre sanctions Another suspect held in Mallya with illegal migrant pact Rs 14 crore for Gauri Lankesh murder case sports in J&K

New Delhi, Jun 12 (PTI): At least 10 people were killed and several others injured in incidents of lightning strike in West Bengal with heavy monsoon rains triggering floods in Mizoram, even as heat wave conditions prevailed in north India.

The Meteorological (MeT) department has forecast light to moderate rains in some parts of northern India.

In West Bengal, four persons were killed in lightning strikes in Bankura district, three in Hooghly district, while one death each was reported from West Midnapore, Birbhum and North 24 Parganas districts, officials said.

Heavy monsoon rains triggered flood in Lunglei and Aizawl district of Mizoram. Over 1,000 people were evacuated to safer places in the two districts due to the flood. State School Education department declared holidays for today and tomorrow for all schools due to heavy downpour, officials said.

Scattered rains occurred at isolated places in the mid and higher hills of Himachal Pradesh.

New Delhi, Jun 12 (IANS): The Centre on Tuesday sanctioned Rs 14.30 crore to promote block level sports in Jammu and Kashmir.

The amount has been sanctioned under the ‘Khelo India’ scheme by the Union Sports Ministry.

Implementation of this scheme was announced by Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh during his visit to the state on June 7 and 8.

A Home Ministr y statement said an amount of Rs 10 lakh per block will be spent under the scheme in all the 143 blocks of 22 districts of Jammu and Kashmir.

“The Central grant will be used to provide soft support in terms of coaches, equipments, consumables, technical support, organising competitions including boarding and lodging facilities and travelling expenses for the participants,” said the statement.

New Delhi, Jun 12 (PTI): The UK may link the extradition process of fugitive diamantaire Nirav Modi and liquor baron Vijay Mallya with the signing of a much-delayed agreement that will facilitate deportation of over 75,000 Indians who are allegedly illegally staying there, officials said today.

The issue of the final signing of the memorandum of understanding on illegal immigrants was raised by UK Minister of State for Countering Extremism Baroness Williams during her talks with Union Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju here yesterday.

During the hour-long talks, Williams stressed the need for formal signing of the MoU to enable the return of illegal Indian migrants within a month of their detection by the British authorities, an official privy to the development said.

The Indian side raised the issue of extradition of Nirav Modi, Mallya and others to face law here.

“We afraid they may link the process of extradition of Nirav Modi, Vijay Mallya and others with the signing of the MoU,” the

official said.

In the meeting between Rijiju and Williams, the UK side confirmed the presence of Nirav Modi in Britain.

Rijiju had signed a draft agreement on the issue of illegal immigrants in London on January 10 while the formal MoU was supposed to be inked during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the UK in April.

However, New Delhi has delayed the signing of the final agreement, apparently due to the concerns raised by certain quarters in the government, another official said.

Rijiju signed the draft agreement following the approval of the Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Modi late last year. Another official said this was perhaps one of the few instances when India delayed formalising a bilateral agreement despite signing the draft deal.

Bengaluru, Jun 12 (IANS): A 26-year-old man was taken into custody in connection with the murder of Kannada tabloid editor Gauri Lankesh last September, police said on Tuesday.

“In connection with the Gauri Lankesh case, the SIT has arrested Parshuram Wagmare, hailing from Sindagi (in Karnataka’s Vijayapura district),” Special Investigation Team Investigation Officer M.N. Anucheth said in a statement. The accused was produced in a court here on Tuesday and was sent to 14 days of police custody for interrogation.

“His (Wagmare’s) role in the conspiracy and other details will be revealed later as it would affect the investigation at this stage,” the statement added.

The SIT has so far taken into custody at least four others in connection with

Gauri Lankesh

the murder. On March 2, 37year-old K.T. Naveen Kumar was taken into custody after nearly 15 illegally possessed bullets were recovered from him by police.

Lankesh, 55, the Editor of “Lankesh Patrike”, was shot dead outside her residence in the city’s suburb by unidentified assailants on September 5 last year.

According to the police, of the total seven bullets fired by the unidentified men, three had hit Lankesh -- two in the chest and one in the forehead.

and Shipping said.

According to him, the ministry was trying to see how to maintain the schedule of every project.

“The ministry expects cooperation from all stakeholders to complete land acquisition in time. Timely completion of any project is important for the cost effectiveness,” the minister said.

Gadkari said that at some places, there are also delays due to the environment clearances.

“Some of the problems in completing the projects are because of the state governments and some because of central government’s different departments. We are trying to make it as early as possible,” he said.

Talking about the projects in Goa, Gadkari said a retired official has been made in-charge of land acquisition.

“We have to strengthen his hands. I suggest that we take some retired people, whose salaries

filed by RSS worker Rajesh Kunte, 43, on March 6, 2014 over the Congress president’s speech at a rally in Bhiwandi. Kunte alleged that Gandhi had indirectly suggested that RSS workers killed Mahatma Gandhi.

Acting on Kunte’s complaint, the magistrate court had on July 11, 2014, summoned Gandhi to face trial.

On March 10, 2015, the Bombay high court turned down Gandhi’s plea to quash the defamation case and refused to give him more time. Gandhi then moved Supreme Court with a special leave petition seeking permission to challenge the high court decision. He later withdrew the petition, expressed his willingness to face trial and said he would not apologise.

Gandhi has appeared in the same court on couple of occasion over the past three years.

Panaji, Jun 12 (PTI): Union minister Nitin Gadkari said here today said that certain issues, including hurdles being faced in land acquisition, were affecting the schedule of road projects.

He said timely completion of a project was important for its cost-effectiveness.

“There are some problems in maintaining the time schedule. We need cooperation of the state government to tackle them.

Land acquisition for these projects is a big task,” he said.

Gadkari was in Goa to chair the two-day long meeting, which ended today, to review the ongoing projects undertaken across the country by the Ministry of Road Transport and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).

While speaking to reporters, Gandhi slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not talking about employment for youth and farmers. “Our fight is against the policies of the prime minister. Farmers are frustrated and the prime minister does not talk about employment for youth. This government is only for the rich,” Gandhi told reporters.

He also took a swipe at Modi’s radio programme ‘Mann ki Baat’ and said the prime minister does not speak about ‘kaam ki baat’ like providing employment to youth or safeguarding farmers. The defamation case against Gandhi was

New Delhi, June 12 (PTI): The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has launched a nationwide movement to eradicate the social taboo associated with sexual health. Dr Ravi Wankhedkar, the IMA national president, stressed the importance of the initiative and said that sex still being a taboo, doctors across India needed to break all the barriers and clinical inertias. This is the first-of-its-kind initiative launched by the IMA for over three-and-a-half lakh doctors to motivate them to dispel the taboo associated with this subject.

Education must be imparted at school to dispel the taboo associated with this subject. Increasing awareness among schools and colleges by various means will also be a part of this agenda. “The plan of action of this initiative is to hold pan-India educational programmes and also adopt schools and colleges to educate one and all -- students, teachers and parents -- by holding lectures, seminars, symposia, conferences and dialogues.

Mumbai, Jun 12 (AGENCIES): A magistrate court in Bhiwandi, Maharashtra, framed charges against Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday in a criminal defamation case filed against him by an RSS worker.

Gandhi has been accused of defaming the RSS by purportedly blaming it for Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination at a rally in 2014.

The magistrate charged Gandhi under sections 499 (defamation) and 500 (punishment for defamation) of the Indian Penal Code.

After reading out and explaining the charges to him, the court asked Gandhi if he wanted to plead guilty, to which he responded by pleading not guilty.

The Congress president was allowed to leave court after these proceedings and greeted the crowd

New Delhi, Jun 12 (PTI): RBI Governor Urjit Patel Tuesday faced tough questions from a parliamentary panel on bad loans, bank frauds, cash crunch and other issues even as he assured the members that steps were being taken to strengthen the system, sources said.

Sources present at the meeting of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance said the RBI Governor expressed confidence of tiding over the crisis regarding non-performing assets (NPAs). Some members of the committee, headed by senior Congress leader Veerappa Moily, sought to know about the reasons for recent instances of ATMs running out of cash and why enough steps were not taken

NEW DELHI, Jun 12 (Agencies): Government will soon revive the sale of its money-losing flag carrier with new guidelines after a recent attempt ended in a debacle last month, as the proposed terms deterred potential investors.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration is ready to “re-examine” its privatisation process, including a clause requiring a minority state stake in Air India, said Subhash Chandra Garg, Secretary, Department of Economic Affairs. The government is considering various options and doesn’t intend to insist on keeping 24 per cent of the company, he said.

“A certain kind of strategy was offered that didn’t find many takers and therefore something different will have to be done,” Garg said in an interview in New Delhi on Monday.

“There’s no fixed objective that government should have 24 per cent. It can be re-examined.”

As per the data of the Central Statistics Office (CSO), food inflation rose to 3.10 per cent last month, as against 2.8 per cent in April.

The spike in inflation also came on back of fuel prices after global oil prices hit a 3-1/2-year high last month, led by increasing worries of supply constraints from US President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement.

“Rising crude prices would not only impact headline inflation but

would also put pressure on price levels as the twin deficit goes up,” noted Kunal Kundu, an economist at Societe Generale ahead of the data, referring to India’s budget and current account gaps.

The RBI in its bid to tighten inflation, increased repo rate last week, for the first time in more than four years. The central bank however, kept its “neutral” policy stance unchanged.

A Reuters poll of economists which predicted the inflation to come at 4.83 per cent, also suggested more policy tightening from RBI in the coming months.

Another set of data released by the government showed that the industrial output or IIP has increased to 4.9 per cent in April from 3.2 per cent last year.

The manufacturing sector, which constitute more than 77 per cent of the index, recorded a growth of 5.2 per cent in April, up from 2.9 per cent in the year ago month.

May retail inflation hits 4-month high

New Delhi, Jun 12 (PTI): The government is considering a proposal to raise the pension limit under Atal Pension Yojana (APY) to up to Rs 10,000 per month from the existing slab of up to Rs 5,000, a top official said Tuesday.

There is a need to increase the value of pension under APY, Madnesh Kumar Mishra, Joint Secretary, Department of Financial Services (DFS), said at a conference organised by PFRDA. “We have seen the proposal (sent by PFRDA) of increasing the pension value to (up to) Rs 10,000 per month and it is under our active examination,” Mishra said on the sidelines of the event.

Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) Chairman Hemant G Contractor said the proposal has been sent to the finance ministry with an aim to increase the subscriber base of APY.

regime kicked-off with a clear majority, and now, Kotak said the “macros” were working for the benefit of the country like lower oil prices, but the “micros” within the country were tough.

“The situation has reversed now, where the macros are getting tougher through surge in oil prices, rising protectionist tendencies in the world and hardening interest rates globally but the micros are better,” the banker said.

Mittal also termed the rising crude prices, which have led to analysts cutting their growth forecasts marginally, and protectionism as areas of concern for the economy.

While expressing optimism on the jobs outlook, he said the introduction of GST and demonetisation by the government led to the loss of 1.5 million jobs, but was quick to add that there has been high job creation in the informal sector which is not being counted.

NEW DELHI, Jun 12 (Agencies): Inflation based on consumer price index (CPI), also known as retail inflation, for the month of May spiked to 4.87 per cent, government data showed on Tuesday.

Retail inflation now stands at a four-month high after topping the 4.58 per cent it recorded in April. This is now the seventh straight month that inflation has breached the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) comfort zone -- its mid-term target of capping it at 4 per cent.

at cutting the recently implemented hike and returning to the “benign” rate environment once it sees comfort on the inflation front, he said.

With a focus on its core objective of keeping inflation in a targeted range in the medium term, the central bank had hiked repo rate, or the rate at which it lends to the banks, by 0.25 per cent this month.

Many lenders had increased their lending rates prior to the policy review and after that as well, indicating a broader direction in which the rates are headed.

Kotak Mahindra Bank’s managing director and chief executive, Uday Kotak, who is also the president-designate for CII, said the RBI is responding to the risks that it is anticipating by keeping in mind its inflation targeting objective.

He was quick to add that the apex bank has done a “balancing act” by keeping the stance of the policy

at neutral which allows for any reversals in rates.

Meanwhile, Mittal flagged availability of credit as a worry, stating that smaller businesses, which will get affected, are the ones that need attention at present.

He said 11 banks under the prompt corrective action (PCA) framework, which puts restrictions on normal lending activities, reduces their ability to support the needs of growth.

In its post-policy commentary, the RBI had said the prospects on growth appear to be improving, with the GDP clocking a 7.7 per cent expansion in the March quarter.

Mittal also acknowledged the same and pointed out to a 10.4 per cent uptick in credit and better prospects in the consumer goods, retail, auto and steel sectors as factors that bode well for the economy.

H e wa s, h oweve r, quick to add that the normal monsoon and supply side measures will have a cooling effect on inflation and help restrict the rate hikes to just the one taken earlier this month.

The industry has also promised a capex of Rs 50,000 crore in the recent months, he said, adding that an uptick in capacity utilisation levels to 80 per cent can prod more industries to join the club.

Trump now wants ‘real deal’ with Iran Singapore, Jun 12 (PTI): President Donald Trump Tuesday said that he would soon like to have a “real deal” with Iran, weeks after he unilaterally pulled the US out of the landmark agreement signed by the Obama administration along with other world powers. The nuclear deal was negotiated and agreed to by Iran and the P5+1 (the US, the UK, France, China, Russia and Germany) in 2015, granting Iran sanctions relief and returning frozen assets in exchange for restrictions on its nuclear programme and international inspections.

Tr ump last month withdrew from the deal, terming it as the “decaying and rotten” agreement.

Addressing a marathon press conference after his historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un here, Trump said he hoped relations could also improve, in time, with Iran.

“I hope that, at the appropriate time, after the sanctions kick in — and they are brutal what we’ve put on Iran — I hope that

Donald Trump

they’re going to come back and negotiate a real deal because I’d love to be able to do that but right now it’s too soon to do that,” Trump said.

“On the Iran deal, I think Iran is a different country now than it was three or four months ago. I don’t think they’re looking so much to the Mediterranean, I don’t think they’re looking so much at Syria like they were, with total confidence, I don’t think they’re so confident right now,” the US President said.

Iran has said that the 2015 nuclear deal with the US and other key world

powers “cannot be renegotiated in any way”.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Tehran “cannot interact” with the US government because it does not stick to its commitments.

He said Iran could restart the nuclear activities it halted under the agreement if Europe failed to safeguard the agreement after the US pulled out.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has also slammed the Trump administration for unilaterally dumping the deal while he complimented China, Russia and Europe for trying to protect it. Iran insists

that its nuclear programme is entirely peaceful, and its compliance with the deal has been verified by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

North Korean leader Kim Tuesday agreed to work toward “complete denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula” in return for security guarantees from the US as Trump wrapped up his historic summit which he described as “honest, direct and productive.”

Ever since his election campaign, Trump has frequently criticised the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or (JCPOA).

Under the Iran nuclear deal, Iran had agreed to limit its nuclear activities and allow in international inspectors in return for the lifting of crippling economic sanctions.

Several European countries as well as China and Russia have been trying to save the deal.

The Bush administration had labelled Iran and North Korea as part of the “axis of evil”.

gents killed Abdurrahman Panah, the district governor of Kohistanat district in Faryab province.

At least eight Afghan security officials have been killed in the ongoing clashes, two officials said.

Javed Bedar, spokesman for Faryab province confirmed the death of a district governor and that the district centre had fallen to Taliban.

“We know that the ceasefire has been announced but we have the right to defend ourselves,” said Bedar, adding that they were seeking immediate reinforcements.

ISLAMABAD, Jun 12 (Agencies): Pakistan’s Supreme Court has upheld a death sentence for a man who killed eight children, including a 7-year-old girl whose rape and murder drew nationwide condemnation earlier this year.

Tuesday’s court order came months after Mohammad Imran challenged his death sentence following sentencing in February, claiming his trial was not fair. He still has the right to seek clemency from President Mamnoon Hussain. Imran was arrested in January after he raped and killed 7-year-old Zainab Ansari and threw her body into a garbage dump in the city of Kasur in eastern Punjab province.

His arrest at the time brought to light seven more killings, prompting Pakistanis to demand he be publicly executed.

KABUL, Jun 12 (Agencies): Taliban fighters killed a district governor in northern Afghanistan and kept up the pressure to seize control over some parts of Faryab province, ignoring the temporary ceasefire announced by the government that came into effect on Tuesday.

Last week Afghan President Ashraf Ghani had announced for the first time an unconditional ceasefire with the Taliban, coinciding with the end of the Muslim fasting month.

In response, the Afghan Taliban announced a surprise three-day ceasefire over the Muslim Eid holiday in the middle of June.

T h e g ove r n m e n t ’s eight-day ceasefire started on Tuesday and the Taliban’s three-day ceasefire will start on Friday.

The Taliban has not stopped their attacks. Insur-

F i g h t i n g wa s a l s o underway in Sar-e-Pul, a northern province where the insurgents had captured two checkpoints.

At the onset of the ceasefire Pakistan’s army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa arrived in Kabul to meet President Ghani.

Afghanistan has blamed Pakistan for giving assistance to the Taliban and other insurgent groups.

Pakistan has denied the accusations.

“Pakistan wishes to see a national unity government in Kabul and US/NATO succeeding to bring peace in Afghanistan,” Asif Ghafoor, the official spokesman Pakistan’s Armed Forces tweeted.

Police question Netanyahu in telecom case

JERUSALEM, Jun 12 (Agencies): Israeli police are questioning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as part of an investigation into a corruption case involving the country’s telecom giant.

Police were seen arriving at Netanyahu’s residence today. Two Netanyahu confidants have been arrested on suspicion of promoting regulation worth hundreds of millions of dollars to the Bezeq telecom company. In return, Bezeq’s subsidiary news site, Walla, allegedly provided positive Netanyahu coverage. The confidants have turned state witnesses.

It is the third time that Netanyahu, who held the government’s communications portfolio until last year, is being questioned over the affair. Police declined to comment. Police have recommended indicting Netanyahu on corruption charges in two other cases. Netanyahu has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, dismissing the accusations as a media witch hunt.

ISLAMABAD, Jun 12 (Agencies): Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who has been facing charges in the Avenfield properties case has said that no lawyer is willing to take his case.

Sharif ’s lawyer Khwaja Haris on Monday terminated his legal services to him and his family in corruption cases, citing inability to appear before accountability court on weekends.

Advocate Haris also stated that the Supreme Court had “dictated on completing the trial within a month, which was not possible.” Sharif and his family are facing three corruption cases filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

If the verdict in the corruption references came before Pakistan’s general elections it would amount to desecration of the law.

The cases filed against the Sharifs are in connection with the Al-Azizia Steel Mills and Hill Metal Establishment, off-shore companies including Flagship Investment Ltd, and Avenfield properties of London.

While Sharif and his sons are accused in all three cases, his daughter and sonin-law are involved only in the Avenfield reference.

Delhi minister begins hunger strike as Kejriwal, others ‘wait’ to meet L-G

New Delhi, Jun 12 (PTI): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his cabinet colleagues, who spent the night at the lieutenant governor’s office, today dug in their heels with Health Minister Satyendar Jain beginning an indefinite hunger strike to press for their demands.

The AAP government’s demands include a direction to IAS officers to end their “strike”, action against those who have struck work for “four months”. It has also asked the L-G to approve the proposal for doorstep delivery of rations.

Kejriwal, his deputy Manish Sisodia, Development Minister Gopal Rai and Jain met Baijal at 5.30 pm yesterday and have since stayed on.

After spending the entire night, Kejriwal released a video today and said that the AAP ministers had “no option” but to stage a sitin at the LG’s office as Lt Governor Anil Baijal was not paying heed to the Delhi government’s demands “despite several requests”.

It was the first time in the history of Delhi that the chief minister and his cabinet colleagues spent the night at the L-G’s office to press for their demands,

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, Deputy CM Manish Sisodia and Ministers Gopal Rai and Satyendar Jain after having spent the night at the Raj Niwas waiting room, Delhi.

sources said.

The move drew criticism from the BJP’s local unit who termed the sit-in as a “mockery of democracy”.

“Making mockery of Democracy, No Work only Drama (sic),” Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari said on Twitter.

However, the AAP maintained that their fight will continue and they will not get “bogged down” till their demands are met.

“Modi and LG are not allowing us to work for the betterment. LG is orchestrating the strike by the IAS officers,” AAP leader Sanjay Singh said.

Leader of opposition in the Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta called Kejriwal’s sit-

in a way to “shirk work”.

Jain began his fast from the L-G’s office at 11 am.

Last night, the chief minister, who is a diabetic, had to take insulin during the sit-in and got “specific food” from his home, the sources said.

“My dear Delhiites, good morning. Struggle continues,” Kejriwal tweeted at 6.27 am from the L-G’s office.

A number of AAP MLAs, party’s leaders and workers have also camped near the L-G’s office and the police have barricaded the area.

In the video statement released by him, Kejriwal said that the AAP ministers have staged a sit-in for the people of Delhi so that their

work does not get affected.

According to the AAP government, officers have not been attending meetings with the ministers and not picking up their calls due to which the people’s work was suffering.

T h e L - G ’s o f f i c e slammed Kejriwal’s sitin, saying it was one more “dharna without reason”.

A statement, issued by Baijal’s office last evening, stated that the L-G was “threatened” to summon officers and issue directions to them to end their “strike” immediately.

In the morning, a letter, signed by Kejriwal, Sisodia, Rai and Jain, was sent to Baijal, asking him to take all necessary steps to end the “strike” by the IAS officers, including issuing written orders, that all those officers who do not return to work will be proceeded against and “if necessary, ESMA may be invoked”.

However, the officers association has claimed that no officer is on strike and no work has been affected.

The AAP government and the bureaucracy have been at loggerheads since the alleged assault on Prakash

by AAP MLAs at Kejriwal’s residence on the intervening night of February 19-20.

Aircel-Maxis: ED questions Chidambaram

New Delhi, Jun 12 (PTI): Former Finance Minister P Chidambaram was today questioned for over six hours by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) during his second round of appearance in the AircelMaxis money laundering case, even as he reiterated that there was no offence committed.

The senior Congress leader arrived at the ED office here shortly before 11 am and left after 5 pm, officials said.

Soon after, Chidambaram tweeted, “Another round of questions by ED in Aircel-Maxis case. I remind myself that there is no FIR and no offence is alleged.”

Officials said the investigating officer of the case recorded Chidambaram’s statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) today, like the last time.

Chidambaram was earlier questioned in the case on June 5 by the ED, an agency that incidentally reported to him during his tenure in the Finance Ministry. It is understood that the agency put across a fresh set of questions to the Congress leader regarding the Aircel-Maxis deal and on decisions taken by him in connection with this case.

ED seizes Rs 44.75 cr worth of Patna land of Lalu family Patna/New Delhi, Jun 12 (PTI): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) today seized 11 plots of land in Patna worth Rs 44.75 crore, attached by the agency in the name of a firm linked to RJD chief Lalu Prasad’s family, as part of the IRCTC hotel money laundering case. The central probe agency was allowed to take possession of the seized assets by a designated PMLA authority recently.

Officials said possession documents were notified and a huge notice board, bearing the signature of Assistant Director of the Delhi zonal office-I, was today put up at the contiguous plots, measuring about three acres, in Danapur near the Bihar capital.

The action has been undertaken under section 8 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, they said.

The central probe agency had provisionally attached the plots, valued at Rs 44.75 crore (market rate), in December last year under the PMLA, in connection with the IRCTC hotel allotment case. The authority, in its recent order, had said that the assets were “involved in money laundering.”

The land pieces are in the name of Delight Marketing Co Pvt Ltd, now Lara Projects LLP, whose managing partner is Lalu’s wife

Rabri Devi, partners are his sons Tejashwi Yadav and Tej Pratap Yadav, and Meridian Construction India Limited promoted by Abu Dojana, an MLA of the former Bihar Chief Minister’s party -- the Rashtriya Janta Dal (RJD).

When the ED attached these assets last year, a shopping mall was supposed to come up on these plots.

It also had recorded the statements of Rabri Devi, Tejashwi, the former deputy chief minister of Bihar, and others in the case.

In July last year, the agency registered a case against Lalu Prasad, his family members and others under the provisions of the PMLA. Before this, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had registered a criminal first information report and conducted multiple searches on the properties of Lalu Prasad and others.

The CBI FIR alleged that Lalu Prasad, during his tenure as the railway minister in UPA-I government, handed over the maintenance of two Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) hotels to a company in 2004 after receiving a bribe in the form of a prime land in Patna through a ‘benami’ company owned by Sarla Gupta, the wife of Prem Chand Gupta, a former Union minister and an RJD MP.

Spiritual guru Bhayyu kills himself in MP Indore, Jun 12 (PTI): Spiritual guru Bhayyu Maharaj, who had refused to accept ministerial rank granted by the Madhya Pradesh government over two months back, today allegedly committed suicide by shooting himself here, police said.

“Bhayyu Maharaj has committed suicide by shooting himself at his home,” Indore’s Deputy Inspector General (DIG) H C Mishra said.

Another top police officer told PTI, “He shot himself on his right temple in a room bolted from inside. His body was brought out by breaking the door of the room and taken to hospital, where he was declared ‘brought dead’.”

The exact cause behind his extreme step would be known after a detailed probe, he said.

The officer said a notepad was found in his room on which he had purportedly written, ‘Somebody should be there to handle duties of family, I am leaving, too much stressed out, fed up’.

The family members of the spiritual guru claimed that this was his own handwriting but the police will verify this through experts, the officer said.

New Delhi, Jun 12 (IANS): Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee was on Tuesday responding well to his treatment for urinary tract infection at the AIIMS, which is seeing a beeline of leaders from various political parties wanting to enquire about his health.

“His condition is stable. He is responding to treatment and is on injectable antibiotics. All vital parameters are stable. He will continue to be in hospital till the infection is controlled,” AIIMS media and protocol division Chairperson Aarti Vij said on Tuesday.

Vajpayee was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on Monday. His hospitalisation triggered VIP visits including that of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Amit Shah and Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Monday.

The news of Vajpayee’s condition being stable did little to slow the flow of prominent leaders to the hospital. Former Prime Ministers Manmohan Singh and H.D. Deve Gowda, and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat visited him on Tuesday.

US unveils de facto embassy in Taiwan

From left: chairman of the American Institute in Taiwan James Moriarty, US assistant secretary of state for education and culture affairs Marie Royce, Taiwan’s president Tsai Ing-wen, principal deputy director ambassador William Moser and AIT director Kin Moy.

plex, a significant upgrade from the low-key military building the AIT had used for decades, will serve as the representative office later this summer, said AIT Director Kin Moy. Marie Royce, US assistant secretary of state for educational and cultural affairs, said at a ceremony to mark the unveiling that the complex was a symbol of the strength and vibrancy of

the US-Taiwan partnership.

“We have faced many trials along this journey, but we have risen to the challenge at every turn, knowing that our shared commitment to democracy would see us through,” said Royce, who is the highest-ranking State Department official to visit Taiwan since 2015.

The sprawling new site occupies 6.5 hectares, including Chinese gardens,

in Taipei’s Neihu district.

AIT’s Taipei office has nearly 500 American and local employees, while its Kaohsiung branch has more than 30 staff.

The ceremony was attended by scores of highranking Taiwan officials as well as senior business executives, including Morris Chang, the former chairman of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd

Miami, Jun 12 (IANS): An armed suspect who barricaded himself inside an apartment in the US state of Florida along with

four child hostages shot and killed all of them and then shot himself, police said.

Gary Lindsey Jr., 35,

was found dead on Monday night along with children aged 1, 6, 10 and 11.

Two were his and the other two were his girlfriend’s,

reports ABC News.

The police found the five bodies upon entering the apartment at around 9 p.m., City of Orlando Police Chief John Mina said.

Officers had been communicating with Lindsey, trying to reach a peaceful solution, but Lindsey had a poor phone connection, Mina explained.

When officers tried to get Lindsey another phone to continue negotiations, they saw at least one child had been shot and decided to enter the apartment.

The standoff began on Sunday night, shortly after Lindsey’s girlfriend contacted the police to report that he had battered her.

Lindsey previously had been arrested on domestic violence and arson charges and was on felony probation.

Beijing, Jun 12 (PTI): As US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un held their historic summit in Singapore Tuesday, a wary China made out a case for lifting of UN sanctions against Pyongyang and highlighted its central role in working out a new peace mechanism for the Korean Peninsula.

Trump and Kim Tuesday held a comprehensive and in-depth dialogue in Singapore on the issues related to the establishment of new relations between the two countries and the building of a lasting and robust peace regime on the Korean Peninsula.

“We believe that this is the only correct direction for resolving the peninsula issue. That is to say, it should be solved through dialogue, through peaceful means,” Chinese State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said soon after Trump and Kim began their meeting.

He said “to solve this problem, of course, we need to achieve denuclearisation and complete denuclearisation”, Trump’s main

demand that North Korea should dismantle its nuclear weapons programme.

“At the same time, we must also establish a peninsula peace mechanism and resolve the reasonable security concerns of North Korea,” Wang said.

Highlighting the central role for China, which is a close ally of North Korea, the Chinese Foreign Minister said, “I don’t think anyone would doubt the unique and important role China has played in this process, and it will continue to play.

China had provided its aircraft to Kim to travel to Singapore. There is also speculation that the North

Cloud over global economy getting darker: IMF chief Berlin, Jun 12 (IANS): International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Christine Lagarde has attacked the U.S. protectionist trade policies and warned that the cloud over global economy “is getting darker”.

“The biggest and darkest cloud that we see is the deterioration in confidence that is prompted by (an) attempt to challenge the way in which trade has been conducted, in which relationships have been handled and in which multilateral organizations have been operating,” Lagarde said on Monday. She made the remarks after an annual meeting in Berlin with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and leaders of world economic organizations including the World Bank, the World Trade Organization, the

Christine Lagarde

Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the International Labour Organization and the African Development Bank, Xinhua reported.

The IMF expected the global economy to grow by 3.9 percent both in 2018 and 2019, marking a slight pick-up from last year’s 3.8 per cent. But Lagarde added: “the clouds on the horizon that we have sig-

naled about six months ago are getting darker by the day, and I was going to say, by the weekend.”

Following the Group of Seven (G7) summit over the weekend, U.S. President Donald Trump surprisingly withdrew support for a hardwon joint declaration on free trade signed at the meeting in Canada. Merkel responded to this on Sunday, saying Trump’s last-minute decision was both “sobering” and “disheartening”, and threatening with European Union’s counter measures in an escalating trade war between the two transatlantic powers.

Korean leader would visit Beijing on his way back from Singapore or will soon apprise Chinese President Xi Jinping about his talks with Trump.

Kim has already visited China twice to meet Xi, ahead of his meeting with Trump, to ally apprehensions of striking a deal with Washington on the back of Beijing.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang denied Trump’s allegation that Beijing, in the last few months, has relaxed implementation of sanctions in the last few months, saying the UN Security Council resolutions on imposing sanctions on North Korea also provides for relaxing or suspending them, if situation improves.

In his post-summit press conference, Trump alleged that China was relaxing sanctions at its North Korean border as the situation improved.

The US President also said that sanctions will remain in place until Pyangyong halts and dismantles its nuclear programme.

Dhaka, Jun 12 (PTI): At least 14 people were killed and several others went missing Tuesday as torrential rains triggered landslides near camps housing over one million Rohingya refugees in southeast Bangladesh.

The landslides trigge r e d b y h e av y r a i n s wa s h e d away s eve r a l homes and shelters in the districts of Cox’s Bazar and Rangamati - both bordering Myanmar from where some 700,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled into the country due to a military crackdown.

H e av y r a i n s h ave caused severe structural damage to camps. So far, more than 9,000 have been affected and the number is expected to rise as the monsoon rains, which lashed the camps for the last two days, continue.

At least twelve people were killed in landslides in different areas of the hilly district of Rangamati while two people were killed in Cox’s Bazar.

Rangamati Civil Surgeon Shahid Talukder said the victims could not be identified yet and rescue and relief teams were struggling to reach people due to difficult terrain.

Most of the victims were buried under mud when surrounding hills gave way after a deluge.

Officials said that the death toll could increase in

China claims self-ruled Taiwan under its “one China” policy and Beijing has never renounced the use of force to bring what it sees as a wayward province under its control.

China’s hostility towards Taiwan has grown since President Tsai was elected in 2016. Beijing suspects Tsai wants to push for formal independence, which would cross a red line for Communist Party leaders in Beijing.

Widely read Chinese state-run newspaper the Global Times said on Tuesday China needed to warn Taiwan and the United States against provocation.

“The mainland must continue to build up its deterrence against Taiwanese authorities, making them know that the US cannot be their savior,” it said in an editorial on the opening of the new office.

Taiwan recently lost two diplomatic allies after they switched ties to China, while some international companies have changed their websites to show the island’s designation as being part of China.

TAIPEI, Jun 12 (Agencies): The United States unveiled a new $256 million representative office in Taiwan’s capital on Tuesday, a de facto embassy that underscores Washington’s strategic ties with the democratic, self-ruled island as it faces escalating tensions with China.

Washington cut diplomatic ties with Taipei in 1979 but remains the island’s strongest ally and sole foreign arms supplier.

It opened the American Institute of Taiwan (AIT) to conduct relations between the two sides after severing ties.

In comments certain to rile Beijing, Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen said the new complex was a reaffirmation of both sides commitment to a “vital relationship.” “The friendship between Taiwan and the US has never been more promising. The great story of Taiwan-US relations remains to be filled with the efforts of those that will one day occupy this building,” Tsai said.

BP Portrait Award: Top prize won by portrait of mother drinking tea

The portrait by Miriam Escofet (L) is of her mother Alma (R).

A

slightly surreal portrait of an artist’s elderly mother drinking a cup of tea has won the BP Portrait Award.

Miriam Escofet said she wanted An Angel at My Table to show “the universal mother”. Judges praised its “constraint and intimacy”.

Her mother Alma Escofet is shown taking tea, but a closer look reveals some objects on the table seem to be moving.

The artist said winning was “completely amazing and slightly surreal”, adding: “I’m just coming back to earth.”

S h e wa s awa r d e d £35,000 and a gallery commission worth £7,000 at the National Portrait Gallery.

Escofet, who was born in Barcelona and lives in London, had been selected

for the BP Portrait award exhibition four times previously.

Her mother accompanied her to the awards ceremony in central London on Monday night.

“It was quite overwhelming for her, in the nicest possible way,” said Escofet. “She’s absolutely thrilled for me.

“People reacted so wonderfully to the portrait.

I had people saying it really moved them and they could identify their own mother in the picture.

“I wanted it to show the person who’s been there from the year dot, who’s always there for you and has your back. My mother is incredibly calm and downto-earth, and it’s about that maternal energy.”

She added that her mother “loves drinking tea” and is “constantly at

the kitchen table”.

“It’s her spiritual realm,” added Escofet, who explained that her mother drinks either black tea with lemon, or herbal tea - meaning the milk jug in the portrait is a touch of artistic licence - and has a “fantastic collection of tea cups”.

Rosie Millard, one of the judges, said: “The crisp tablecloth and china are rendered so beautifully and then you see that one of the plates and a winged sculpture on the table appear to be moving which adds a surreal quality to the portrait.

“It is also a very sensitive depiction of an elderly sitter.”

Escofet said of the movement in the image: “It came back to the idea of making the maternal figure, and my mother in particular, the still point in the composition. All the perspective in the objects is leading to the central point, which is her. “I wanted to emphasise that sense of stillness and her being the centre of the universe.”

The winning portrait, painted in oils, was chosen from 2,667 entries from 88 countries, which were all judged anonymously.

Ed Sheeran calls in newt experts over chapel plans

E

d Sheeran has called in experts to check whether great crested newts could scupper his plans to build a private chapel on his Suffolk estate.

Sheeran, who announced his engagement in January, has a planning application for the Saxon-style structure with Suffolk Coastal District Council.

But objections to the plans include concerns about the wider area’s great crested newt population.

The species has declined in recent years and are now legally protected.

Suffolk Wildlife Trust said there were records of great crested newts in the area in 2015 and it was possible that ponds within the site boundaries “could be breeding sites for this species”.

It is illegal to disturb the animals or obstruct access to areas where they live and breed, with the protected area extending up to 500m (1,640ft) from their breeding ponds, the wildlife trust said.

Angry Ronaldo looking to leave Real Madrid

Cristiano Ronaldo

M a d r i d, J u n 1 2 (IANS): After spending nine years with the venerable Real Madrid, Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly looking for lucrative contracts elsewhere.

According to Spanish newspaper Marca, the Portugal football team captain is angry with the club’s offer to extend his contract, which he views as a veiled hint for him to quit, reports Sputnik news agency.

Madrid’s management has offered the forward a contract whereby he could earn 25 million euros ($29.5 million) a year, while Ronaldo has insisted on a yearly salary of 30 million euros ($35.4 million).

Marca reported that Ronaldo feels he has more value than Neymar and Lionel Messi and the club should meet his demands.

Ronaldo has been with the Madrid club since 2009. His salary for 2018 amounts to 21 million euros ($24.7 million), but Paris Saint-Germain are ready to pay him 45 million euros ($53 million).

Ronaldo is currently training with the Portuguese national squad, which is gearing up for the upcoming World Cup in Russia. Portugal will get their World Cup campaign underway against Spain with Morocco and Iran next in line.

7-a-side football tourney

David Haye

After turning professional in 2002, Haye overcame a shock early defeat to Carl Thompson as he unified the cruiserweight division, holding three of the major titles after his knockout win over Enzo Maccarinelli in March 2008.

He successfully stepped up to heavyweight to take the WBA title from the seven-foot-tall Nikolay Valuev in Germany in November 2009. But Haye also courted controversy as he angered Wladimir Klitschko with his brash pre-fight antics ahead of a disappointing points loss in July 2011.

Injuries prevented Haye from taking on Tyson Fury in a big domestic clash and he spent a three-and-ahalf spell away from the ring after undergoing shoulder surgery. Haye returned in January 2016 and would endure an Achilles injury during an 11th-round stoppage defeat in his first fight with Bellew in March 2017.

A return fight with the Merseysider ended in the fifth round after Haye was floored three times and the former two-weight champion hangs up his gloves with a final record of 28 wins and four defeats.

Stuttgart, Jun 12 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : Ro g e r Federer will make his first competitive appearance since March at the Mercedes Cup in Stuttgart, as the 20time Grand Slam champion begins his preparations for Wimbledon.

Federer has not played since his shock defeat to Thanasi Kokkinakis at the Miami Open, after he opted to miss the clay court season for a second consecutive year, while Rafael Nadal won titles in Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Rome before securing a record-extending 11th French Open.

The 36-year-old, who is scheduled to complete his Wimbledon build-up at the Gerry Weber Open in Halle next week - a tournament he has won nine times - will hope to avoid a repeat of last year’s opening-match defeat to Tommy Haas.

Belgium down Costa Rica 4-1 in WC warm-up

B ru s s e l s, J u n 1 2 (Agencies): Eden Hazard gave Belgium an injury scare ahead of the World Cup as he limped off in their 4-1 warm-up win over Costa Rica, in which Romelu Lukaku scored twice and set up a third.

Dries Mertens equalised for Belgium after Bryan Ruiz opened the scoring

before striker Lukaku took his international tally to 36 in 69 matches with a volley and header either side of half-time.

Lukaku set up substitute Michy Batshuayi to complete the scoring for Belgium on 64 minutes as Roberto Martinez’s side fired a final warning to Group G opponents England, Tunisia

and Panama.

A positive final World Cup warm-up threatened to end on a sour note as Eden Hazard limped off with 20 minutes remaining following a couple of robust Costa Rican challenges, although the Chelsea forward did not appear too badly hurt.

Belgium had created some early chances but it

was the visitors who took a 24th-minute lead. Jan Vertonghen failed to get proper distance on a headed clearance and it fell to Ruiz, who sent a low first-time effort into the bottom corner from the edge of the area.

The Red Devils’ response was swift, though, and after Mertens had gone close he finally levelled just after the half-hour. This time it was Costa Rica that failed to clear properly and Hazard’s ball across goal was tucked home from close range.

The turnaround was complete before half-time as Lukaku scored a brilliant goal. Starting the move in his own half, the Manchester United forward fed Kevin De Bryune, who set Mertens free and he turned provider for Lukaku to volley home from close range.

Lukaku’s second came five minutes after the restart and it was classic Lukaku as he made sure he got on the end of Hazard’s cross to convert with his head.

The United man then turned provider in the 64th minute as his low ball was converted at the back post by

Chelsea’s Batshuayi.

That proved to be enough for Martinez’s men as they signed off ahead of their World Cup opener with Panama next Monday, with all eyes on the severity of Hazard’s injury.

Senegal beats South Korea 2-0

Senegal scored two second-half goals to beat fellow World Cup contender South Korea 2-0 and end a four-match winless streak on Monday in its final warmup.

South Korea defender Kim Young-gwon deflected an effort by Alfred N’Diaye into his own goal in the 67th minute, and striker Moussa Konate added the second from the penalty spot in injury time to give Senegal its first win since beating South Africa in November.

Senegal opens its World Cup campaign against Poland next week Tuesday before taking on Japan and Colombia in Group H. South Korea, which has scored only once in its last three warmups, will play Sweden, Mexico and Germany in Group F.

Germany ‘Not a golden generation but we are united’ favourites to win

LON D ON, J u n 1 2 (Agencies): Captain Harry Kane says England’s bid to end their World Cup drought stretching back over half a century will not be undone by a divided squad.

The 24-year-old striker said there were no cliques within the squad that flies out to Russia later on Tuesday seeking to emulate their 1966 predecessors in lifting the trophy.

Both Rio Ferdinand and Steven Gerrard claimed the reason they and the others who made up the so-called ‘golden generation’ fell short at successive finals was they could not shake off their different club rivalries when they joined up with their England team-mates.

Kane, though, told the English daily newspapers this is not the case with the present group under Gareth Southgate - as many of them have played with each other at Under-21 level.

“It’s not something we’ve had to deal with really - we all get on very well and have come through the ranks together,” said Kane.

“We definitely don’t have that divide in the team any more.”

Kane also took issue with Ferdinand who told The Times last month his priority had been winning

Harry Kane

trophies with Manchester United. “It’s the one competition that everybody dreams of winning. That’s No 1. I’d be surprised if the majority of players did not say the World Cup is the biggest sporting event in the world. I’d love to win everything with Tottenham, but for me personally the World Cup outweighs them all,” said Kane.

Kane, who says his mum cried when he was handed the captaincy by Southgate, does not expect a repeat of the woeful Euro 2016 campaign which saw them beaten by minnows Iceland in the last 16 and cost then manager Roy Hodgson his job.

“I’m confident it won’t happen (again) - I won’t say 100 per cent because you

never know in football - but in this team we wear our heart on our sleeve. We’re proud to be here, we will work hard, be energetic.

First and foremost we will run around and do that aspect of the game. We have a lot of attacking flair that can do some damage.”

Southgate, who experienced the pitfalls of international football when he missed a penalty in the shootout loss to old foes Germany in the Euro ‘96 semi-finals hosted in England, did not wish to heighten expectations which has so often been a crushing burden for the national side.

“We hope we can send people to work the following day having enjoyed our matches, I know what those tournament experiences can be like and we desperately want to bring that,” said Southgate, whose side have warmed up with wins over fellow finalists Nigeria and Costa Rica.

“We know we are not the finished article, in fact we’re a long way from, but I think people see signs of progress and enjoy watching us and the manner in which we try to play.”

Kane and England open their World Cup campaign against Tunisia in Volgograd, followed by dates with Panama and Belgium.
