J&K: BJP snaps alliance; Mehbooba resigns

NEW DELHI, JUN 19 (AGENCIES): BJP on Tuesday ended its threeyear-old alliance with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pulled out of the PDP-led Jammu and Kashmir government, setting the stage for yet another round of Governor’s rule.

BJP general secretary Ram Madhav made the surprise announcement after the party high command summoned its Jammu and Kashmir ministers for emergency consultations in New Delhi. A few hours later, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti submitted her resignation to Governor N N Vohra.

Madhav said: “It has become untenable for the BJP to continue in the alliance government in Jammu and Kashmir. “Under such circumstances, the BJP was left with no other option, but to pull out of the alliance,” he said at a press conference.

Madhav said there was a growing sense of discrimination within the other two regions of the state.

He said the decision was taken after consulting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah. He also denied

In her first reaction after BJP’s pullout, PDP’s Mehobboba Mufti said she was not “shocked” at the development. She also said she was “not looking to explore any other alliance”.

“I am not shocked. We didn’t do this alliance for power. This alliance had a bigger motive—unilateral ceasefire, PM’s visit to Pakistan, withdrawal of 11,000

DIMAPUR, JUN 19 (NPN): Amidst a raging debate over relieving of Officiating DGP, Rupin Sharma to the successor and the unprecedented open defiance against the order issued by the Office of the DGP Nagaland to its staff not to hold any kind of meeting or activity directed against the government, the state government appears to have belatedly woken up from its slumber.

Nagaland Post contacted chief secretary Temjen Toy to ascertain if any order to appoint the next incumbent was issued. In response Toy disclosed that so far nothing has moved in that direction. “I am surprised by the manner in which so much hype and vehement opposition has been created in the media over an appointment that has not even been made,” said Toy.

He further said “The government has noted the manner in which this issue has been hyped and protest engineered. An informed decision will be taken at the highest level.”

Other officers of the department asserted that reactions against posting of a regular DGP were illogical and premeditated since all these were done to subvert the constitutional authority of the government levels in Nagaland as well as union home ministry.

It may also be recalled that after then DGP L.L. Doungel completed his deputation in November 2017, the state had requested Assam for the deputation of Lungriading Zeliang ADG Assam but it could not be met. By that time Rupin Sharma then DG (Prisons) was allowed to hold charge as Officiating DGP from November 24, 2017. Earlier, Y. Patton Deputy CM

in-charge of Home clarified that the temporary charge was “purely as a step gap arrangement” in view of the 2018 state assembly polls.

During the period of obtaining clearance for ADG Chhattisgarh T.J. Longkumer IPS, much has been brought out through social media against removal of Rupin Sharma. It was pointed out that even Lukhei Sema IPS was officiating DGP from October 28, 1995 to February 11, 1996 and later appointed DGP on February 11, 1999 and retired on May 31,2001.

In retrospect, the officers said any achievement by an officer cannot be used as leverage to hijack government’s prerogative on appointments and its authority over the department at large.

They expressed concern about the damage inflicted to the department due to the unwanted situation over normal transfer and posting.

Congress president Rahul Gandhi said in a tweet on Tuesday evening.

“Whatever has happened is good. People of Jammu and Kashmir will get some relief. They (BJP) ruined Kashmir and have now pulled out,” said senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad.

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal pointed out that Modi government had claimed that demonetisation in 2016 had broken the back of militancy in Jammu and Kashmir but that did not seem true.

CPI (M) criticised the BJP’s for its timing, saying its decision to pull out of the government would push the state deeper into instability.

The sit-in demonstration being staged at directorate of School education here ended peacefully. More than one thousand ad hoc teachers from various districts took part in the protest. The

Nagaland Post that since the government did not respond to their demand, the protest would continue. He said on Wednesday the members would also display placards and banners.

Further, Ruguotsolie informed that some apex student bodies have also expressed solidarity with the group. He said the office bearers met the director and principal director of school education today. However, no assurances were made to them, he added.

DIMAPUR, JUNE 19 (NPN): The ongoing verbal duel between the ruling dispensation and the opposition shows no sign of receding with NDPP now accusing NPF of resorting to lies, deceit and spread of false propaganda, while NPF central youth wing has accused chief minister Neiphiu Rio his “cohorts” of trying to divert the issue and shifting blames.

In a hard-hitting rejoinder, NDPP’s media & communication committee said NPF was bereft of responsible leadership and continued to be led by a “liar” and “a president on bail”. And as long as it was led by a person who had lied to every citizen of the State and country vis-à-vis his false BA pass claim, it had no moral authority to speak on every issue, the rejoinder added.

On the other hand, NPF youth wing in a press note said Nagas would not forget how Rio obtained fake BA honours certificate and submitted the same along with his nomination paper while contesting Lok Sabha election as an NPF candidate in (Full text on p-6) 2014.

will now be able to apply various services online.

The earlier versions used in Nagaland were offline applications- Vahan 2.0 and Sarathi 1.0. The portals had local servers in the regional offices but no interconnectivity between the transport offices. Any updates or customizations to suit local needs were arduous and time consuming.

Another major drawback was the loss of data due to system crash caused by power failure. However, with the introduction of the new portals, not only these issues will be addressed, but Nagaland leapfrogged many notches higher, thereby putting it at par with the other states in the country.

Delivering the keynote address, Transport Commissioner, Elias T Lotha

said that with the launch of the modules, Nagaland has joined the rest of the country in service application, process and delivery, and data access on real time.

He however reminded that the state was still on the process to fully realize the state’s dream of high quality, efficient and speedy service delivery.

Lotha recalled how the then Additional Transport Commissioner of Transport Meren Paul in 1997 along with the present additional director, department of education, Er. Lima Ao and the first principal of the Institute of Computer and Information Technology, Imsa Naga designed a disk operating system Nagasoft Novell which formed the basis of the computerization of the department. Since then,

smart cards have been issued for registration certificate and licenses in 2002 and Vahan 2.0 and Sarathi 1.0 were eventually introduced in all registration and license offices in 2008 and 2009.

The commissioner further thanked the National Informatics Center (NIC) for developing and improving the Vahan and Sarathi software. He also thanked the government for providing the necessary resources and infrastructures.

An introduction and presentation of the salient features of Vahan were delivered by senior technical director and state informatics officer, NIC, Nagaland, Hemanta Kumar Saikia and technical director and transport project coordinator, NIC, Nagaland, Lanusungkum Aier respectively.

Hemanta Kumar Saikia dwelled on how Vahan 4.0 and Sarathi 4.0 will bring a massive improvement without the hassle of paper documentations.

Lanusungkum talked about the salient features of Vahan 4.0 and how it has addressed the earlier issued faced with Vahan 2.0 and Sarathi 1.0. He said the new version was a centralized application and facilitates better data sharing between RTOs and states.

The possibilities of data manipulation had also been decreased. The online services offered on the platform are submission of application, payment of fees and taxes (in the pipeline) and information dissemination. With the SMS integration features, users can also track status and updates and access necessary data on their mobile phones, he added.

The other highlights of the programme were invocation by parish priest and principal of St Joseph Higher Secondary School, Rev Father Sajan Joseph and vote of thanks by senior district transport officer, Z Lovikali Yepthomi.

Various dignitaries from department of transport, NIC, software designer K Nayan Sahu and DCP traffic, Yanithung Ezung were also present on the occasion.

B O K A J AN, J u n 1 9 (Agencies): Despite the State Government’s ban on the sale and consumption of IMFL brought from other states, a truckload of illegal liquor was seized along Assam-Nagaland interstate border in East Karbi Anglong district on Tuesday.

Notes worth Rs 12 L destroyed by mice in Tinsukia ATM booth

The shredded notes at an ATM in Tinsukia.

Guwahati, Jun 19 (Agencies): A different kind of demonetisation struck Assam’s Tinsukia district when mice allegedly tore to shreds notes worth Rs 12 lakhs inside an ATM belonging to the State Bank of India (SBI).

T h e S B I AT M i n Laipuli area has been shut due to technical failure since May 20. However, behind closed doors, unknown to the world, it was hosting an army of four-legged guests: Mice. On June 11, when a few repairmen visited the

outlet to get the machine fixed, they were surprised to find heaps of 500 and 2,000 rupee notes shredded into tiny pieces. According to bank officials, notes worth Rs 12,38,000 have been destroyed by the mice. A Guwahati-based financial company named FIS: Global Business Solutions, which runs the ATM, had reportedly deposited Rs 29 lakhs inside the machine on May 19. “The ATM had stopped working the following day,” a local Tinsukia-based journalist confirmed.

“We have been able to salvage about Rs 17 lakhs,” a bank official confirmed to a local news channel on Monday morning.

Many, however, still express doubts over what really happened inside the kiosk.

The government lender has lodged an FIR with Tinsukia police to probe the incident.

“May 20 and June 11 is a significant period of time for an ATM to be out of service. People are suspicious as to why it took so long for the mechanics to arrive,” the journalist, who first heard about the destruction through a Whatsapp forward, said.

Imphal-Jiribam section of NH-37 reopened on Tuesday. (NP) Correspondent

IMPHAL, Jun 19: After a weeklong closure due to a massive mudslide, Imphal-Jiribam section of NH-37, one of the two main supply routes of Manipur, reopened Tuesday afternoon.

With the re-opening of the highway, around 1000 Imphal-bound loaded trucks that remained stranded midway have pro-

ceeded for Imphal, official sources here said.

T h e h i g h w ay r e mained closed since June 12 last after a massive mud and rockslide between T Laijang and Senam village in Tamenglong district.

A 0.22 pistol, six 0.22 rounds, one magazine and fake currency consisting of 28,000 all in 2000 currency notes was recovered from his possession.

On further interrogation, it was revealed by the culprit that Akash Ali aka Hafeez aka Suresh, son of Lalu Lashkar of Sunday Bazar who along with his father and brothers was involved in arms dealing and framing innocent individuals in fake criminal cases like possession of weapons and drugs.

An FIR was lodged against the culprit.

highway has also completed, reports said.

With no rain in the last three days, the authorities were able to speed up the debris removal work and fresh cutting of hill at the place where portion of the highway had been washed away following the mud and rockslides.

Meanwhile, tr uckers have blamed non-adherence of guidelines for maintaining highways and over quarrying of stones as the reason behind frequent landslides at the mountainous section of Imphal-Jiribam section of the NH-37.

“As per the guideline for maintaining a highway, there must be five drains for every one kilometer.

However, this was not followed by the authority maintaining the highway,” they asserted.

While observing that there was excessive quarrying of stones at close proximity of the stretch of the highway, they slammed the authority for not taking care of such activities while maintaining the highway.

ference, the Rajya Sabha member alleged the NRC state coordinator is trying to delay the publication of the NRC final draft. “They are giving excuse about flooding to delay it. The government knew that flood was coming.

Why did they not take any measure to shift the NRC sewa kendras, which are under the water in Barak Valley now,” asked Bora.

Talking about BJP president Amit Shah’s visit to Assam, Bora said the ruling party chief did not have time to meet the flood-hit people. “BJP’s love for Assam is only in words, not in deeds. So many people have died in flood and a few lakh are suffering across the state.

Why did he not visit some places?”

He also alleged that very little fund has come to Assam in the past two years.

Controversy and AAP

C

ontroversy loves Aam Admi Party (AAP) or vice versa and the present week-long sit-in protest by AAP chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and some of his colleagues inside the Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal’s office on the issue of IAS officers in Delhi abstaining from work, is among many such instances. Kejriwal along with other colleagues such as deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, health minister Satyendra Jain and labour minister Gopal Rai had undertaken the sit-in to seek the Governor’s intervention. Following Kejriwal’s climbdown, the powerful IAS lobby reciprocated and it was but expected that the Governor would complete the formality. Since coming to power for the first time in 2013 on its electoral debut, the AAP has been having problems with Lieutenant Governors. After emerging as the secondlargest party, winning 28 of the 70 seats in 2013 and with no party obtaining an overall majority, the AAP formed a minority government with conditional support from the Indian National Congress. However, the brief marriage of convenience to keep out the BJP ended after 49 days when it became clear the AAP would not find support to have its version of Lok Pal bill passed.During the short tenure, Kejriwal was always at loggerhead with then Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung over various issues. Kejriwal firmly believed that the office of LG was supervisory in nature and without executive powers. The tiff with Jung had occupied the better part of the 49 days. Then when the Aam Aadmi Party scored a landslide victory by winning a majority of 67 of the 70 seats, the battle with Jung was set to resume. Whatever the AAP government proposed the Lieutenant Governor disposed.

Be it appointments or decisions, the AAP was totally enmeshed in needless quarrels with the Lieutenant Governor. After Jung ultimately resigned, probably to be free from the unending quarrels and controversies, the next incumbent Anil Baijal proved to be a different kettle of fish. While Jung was appointed by the UPA and was not replaced by the Modi government post 2014 May election; Baijal was appointed by the Modi government. The AAP has yet to change its mindset as it appears in confusion about its identity. It was alright to have convinced voters that it was going to eradicate corruption from all walks of life, especially the government but it was another thing to govern without corruption. The AAP continued with its rhetoric and character assassination without any let up even after coming to power for the second time. However the BJP is not Congress or vice versa which Kejriwal discovered the hard way. When Kejriwal and his colleagues made allegations of financial irregularities against Arun Jaitley in the Delhi and District Cricket Association of which he was president from 1999 to 2013, Jaitley promptly filed a Rs.10 crore defamation.

Kejriwal could not wriggle out of the case. Worse in 2017, Jaitley threatened another fresh defamation suit of Rs.10 crore against Kejriwal after the latter’s lawyer used some unsavoury words against Jaitley in court.

Ultimately, after burning both his fingers and mouth, a chastised Kejriwal had to apologise to Jaitley. The apology was the fourth such tendered by Kejriwal and his colleagues. Hopefully this will teach the AAP a good lesson in statecraft and restraint from acting irresponsibly and focus on governance.

DailyDevotion The Service of Passionate Devotion …do you love Me?…Tend My sheep. —John 21:16 Jesus did not say to make converts to your way of thinking, but He said to look after His sheep, to see that they get nourished in the knowledge of Him. We consider what we do in the way of Christian work as service, yet Jesus Christ calls service to be what we are to Him, not what we do for Him. Discipleship is based solely on devotion to Jesus Christ, not on following after a particular belief or doctrine. “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate…, he cannot be My disciple” (Luke 14:26). In this verse, there is no argument and no pressure from Jesus to follow Him; He is simply saying, in effect, “If you want to be My disciple, you must be devoted solely to Me.” A person touched by the Spirit of God suddenly says, “Now I see who Jesus is!”— that is the source of devotion.

Today we have substituted doctrinal belief for personal belief, and that is why so many people are devoted to causes and so few are devoted to Jesus Christ. People do not really want to be devoted to Jesus, but only to the cause He started. Jesus Christ is deeply offensive to the educated minds of today, to those who only want Him to be their Friend, and who are unwilling to accept Him in any other way. Our Lord’s primary obedience was to the will of His Father, not to the needs of people— the saving of people was the natural outcome of His obedience to the Father. If I am devoted solely to the cause of humanity, I will soon be exhausted and come to the point where my love will waver and stumble. But if I love Jesus Christ personally and passionately, I can serve humanity, even though people may treat me like a “doormat.” The secret of a disciple’s life is devotion to Jesus Christ, and the characteristic of that life is its seeming insignificance and its meekness. Yet it is like a grain of wheat that “falls into the ground and dies”— it will spring up and change the entire landscape (John 12:24).

FIND the followers of secular ideology as fanatic as others are. There was a furore over the visit of BJP president Amit Shah to my residence a few days ago.

Criticism over telephone and emails were numberless. And all that they said was “you should not have allowed him to visit you.”

I want to put the record straight. A couple of days before Shah’s visit, a few activists came to my house.

We were together in the Jayaprakash Narain movement. They asked me that if I had any objection to meeting Shah at my residence. I told them that anybody can come to my house and I do not discriminate people on the basis of their ideology.

I feel that my ideology of not mixing religion with politics is probably the best and we should not wear beliefs on our sleeves.

One should not be afraid of sharing thoughts with the people who are staunchly opposed to you. Ideological differences should have no place. After all, democracy is all about discussion and

Nagaland Post, Dimapur WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 2018

Progress of RSS is ominous

debate.

Mahatma Gandhi talked to Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, and even visited his residence to persuade him not to insist on partition.

When it happened, he observed that he had failed to convince Jinnah. There was no bitterness in their thought. Gandhi, in fact, went on fast for 21 days on what he called “purification.” The lesson to be learnt is that we should not hesitate to sit across the table to iron out our differences.

I must admit that my opinion about Amit Shah was that of a person emitting fire and brimstone. But I was completely bowled over by his courtesy and politeness, clear thought process and perception and, above all, possessing an affable temperament. He was anxious to convince me even though he knew my philosophy was opposite to his and that of the BJP. He said he was six years old when he started going to the RSS shakas. I could spot the pride in his

eyes when said this. Indeed, he has been through the grind at Nagpur. It has been a long haul for Shah but he has ultimately emerged as the party president.

India is at the crossroads. Followers of Hindutva want to capture power and oust the principle of togetherness without religion coming in the way. I partly touched on this topic Kuldip while talking to Amit Shah. He said that the BJP develops an area comprehensively when it takes over. My observation was that in the process the mosques also get demolished. He refused to be provoked and responded saying that development dependent on the deputy commissioner of the area.

The two main points on which Shah dwelt during his meeting with me were caste and partition. He said that the socialists ended up in caste politics and mentioned that Ram Manohar Lohia, the founder, underlined the caste all the time. That is probably the reason, accord-

ing to me, why they were able to capture power only in states in initial years and not at the centre. Shah also emphasized that the present set of leaders of different parties were following the same path.

Strange, those who believe in the ideology of development for all should get divided on the betterment of certain groups when Nayar they come to power. This is understandable at the state level. But they do not get over the divisive politics even when they come to power at the centre. The ruling BJP is one example. They have 21 states under their rule and the party has employed different tactics and methods in different states to capture power. Even the Congress, the oldest party with secular outlook, is no longer an organization which it used to be. Its problem is that it has no leader and has resorted to parochial politics. Rahul Gandhi will have a hard time in 2019 when he would have pitted himself against Prime

Minister Narendra Modi, who has been able to push the BJP down the Vindhyas.

The Karnataka example is before the country.

Amit Shah, talking on partition, said that if “we had waited” the Indian subcontinent would not have got divided. Shah is wrong on this issue. Lord Clement Atlee, the British Prime Minister, who announced the end of their rule had fixed June 6, 1948, as the date when they would leave India as either one country or more. But partition took place in mid-August in 1947, at least 10 months before the deadline set by Lord Atlee.

When I asked Lord Mountbatten why partition was effected earlier than June 1948, he said he could not hold the country together. He regretted the death of millions of people in the process. However, he justified on the plea that it could not be helped. So what Shah thought was contrary to the events which ultimately unfolded.

When I told Lord Mountbatten that he was

responsible for the death of people during partition, he said that he had saved the lives of two million people when he diverted to Kolkata the food ships meant for his troops in South Asia.

Before the Almighty he would swear that he had saved as many people from starvation.

Shah’s remark had a tinge of disappointment. But his party does not seem to have learnt any lesson. It is trying to impose a Hindutva rule of sorts even when the BJP realizes that 17 crore Muslims are against what the party is attempting to do. And one thing which Shah and his party should remember is that India has a secular constitution and whoever rules the country should follow it in letter and spirit.

U n f o r t u n a t e l y, i t doesn’t seem so. The RSS is spreading itself all over and, in the process, extinguishing the identity of others. The BJP needs it because it has no cadre of its own. Whatever the reason, the rule of RSS is forbidding.

Post-mortem

NDPP rejoinder to NPF

1. It is shocking to observe the policy of the so called oldest regional political party resorting to a strategy of lies, deceit and spread of false propaganda.

The NDPP is not concerned about the NPF sponsored complaint letter to the ECI which has signatures and declarations by the NPF president who had recently broken all norms of the Model Code of Conduct and insulted the Constitution of India by seeking votes and support on religious and communal lines and is now on anticipatory bail.

2. Public memory will recollect that when the NDPP was founded on the response to the call of the people, the erstwhile Chief Minister Mr. TR Zeliang had declared on several occasions that the NDPP is unregistered and will never get registered before the assembly elections. However, despite the announcements of the then NPF Chief Minister, the NDPP was given registration by the ECI on 13th October, 2017. Subsequently the NDPP was given exclusive use of the globe as its symbol on 7th December, 2017.

3. In the run up to the general elections the NPF tried all the tricks in its book to strike a deal with the BJP for a pre-poll alliance going to the extent of the erstwhile CM Mr. TR. Zeliang announcing falsely of a prepoll alliance after meeting National BJP President Mr. Amit Shah. This was of course a lie. The NPF president after severing ties with the BJP upon being dislodged from the Chief Minister’s chair by Mr. TR Zeliang, later contradicted himself by saying that NPF and BJP were natural allies. This was again disproved when the NDPP-BJP pre-poll alliance was announced ahead of the polls.

4. Suddenly, the NPF resorted to the most irresponsible and unbecoming campaign of slander, lies and false propaganda again and carried out a strategy on communal and religious

lines as it was bereft of any vision or development plan for the State. The affidavit declaration of the NPF’s chief ministerial candidate Mr. TR Zeliang also revealed how he had been living in a world of lies when he finally declared that he was a failed undergraduate. The result was a crushing defeat and outright rejection by the people. But, overnight, the NPF shamelessly went begging to the BJP to share power and they unsuccessfully continue to do so.

5. Then after the formation of the PDA Government, the NPF unleashed its next strategy of spreading false propaganda when it’s so called famed legal expert Mr. Yitachu declared on 12th April 2018 that the NDPP would not be recognized till 2023 and that its MLAs were like independent MLAs. This attempt to spread lies by the so called legal expert and the NPF’s highly acclaimed advocate was once again exposed when the ECI acknowledged the NDPP when formal recognition along with permanent allotment of the election symbol was granted to NDPP by the ECI just 5 (five) days later on 17th April, 2018.

6. In the recently held Lok Sabha bye elections, the unconstitutional and irresponsible campaign was led by no less than former Chief Minister and NPF President Dr. Shürhozelie who urged the people to vote for its party candidate on religious and communal lines. For that action of his, the NPF president was compelled to take anticipatory bail.

7. In the same campaign, despite the exposure of Mr. TR Zeliang that he had lied to one and all by falsely claiming that he had passed BA from Kohima College in 1979 though he had failed in all subjects, the NPF once again declared that Mr. TR Zeliang is the Chief Minister in waiting.

8. The NPF is bereft of responsible leadership and continues to be led by a misleading liar and a President on bail. As long as the NPF continues to be led by a person who had lied to every citizen of the State and the country on his false BA pass claim, the NPF has no moral authority to speak on every issue.

9. The latest NPF sponsored complaint to the ECI and the subsequent spread of false propaganda is a desperate attempt by the party to stay afloat after successive electoral defeats and its inability to hold on to its own ground. We assure the public that the complaint to the ECI is a matter that will be replied to and clarified and the matter is politically motivated and hold no water.

10. The NDPP is confident that no section will be convinced or distracted by the by the strategies of continuous lies, deceit and false propaganda which seem to have become the only options for the NPF, a party that is in fast decline and heading towards obscurity.

11. Now the NPF has made another wild allegation that is aimed at creating confusion and adding to its game plan of survival through false propaganda. It has claimed that the NDPP is planning to merge with the JD (U). The JD (U) is a member of the NDA Government at the Centre and also a member of the PDA in Nagaland and it was on these lines that the Nagaland CM and the Bihar CM met on the sidelines of the NITI Aayog meeting in New Delhi. The question of merger does not arise.

12. It can only be concluded that a party led by leaders who lie to the public will find no other strategy but to spread further lies instead of sharing its vision or playing the role of a constructive Opposition.

T

he Naga People’s Front Central Youth Wing is compelled to bringforth the attempt to close the common aspiration of the Nagas, the Naga Integration Issue even before the settlement of the Naga issue is brought about between the Government of India (GOI) and the Naga People, the Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio sanctimoniously stated before the Media in New Delhi on 12 June 2018 that it was not possible to physically integrate Naga contiguous areas leaving many baffled, shattered and disgraced.

Complete evidences on Video footages made available in the Media are witness by all.

Though habituated in shifting blames on others, Rio tried to fool the people and make innocent people the scapegoats. However, Nagas will not forget how Rio obtained fake B.A. Honours Certificate and submitted the same along with his nomination

paper while contesting the Lok Sabha Election as NPF Candidate in 2014 and later, made his Personal Secretary and the College authorities receive the blame. Rio had to retract his highly inflammatory statement on the NSCN (K) just recently, today on the Naga Integration issue; the Chief Minister’s office claimed that Rio was misquoted by the media.

To no surprise, Rio and his cohorts like in the past four years, wasted no time in diverting the subject matter to TR Zeliang’s qualification once again. Diverting the pertinent issues and shifting blames on others has become the professional trademark of Rio. The Youth Wing seriously views that Rio cannot compromise the Naga Issue as his personal properties simply, as he does not owned the Nagas. One may be Chief Minister of Nagaland but that does not qualify him the

right to act like the owner of its people. One should remember that thousands of Nagas living across Indian state with artificial boundary and Myanmar have sacrificed their lives and everything, during the last several decades fighting for common Naga aspirations to live as one People. Today, in total disregard to their dreams and aspirations, Rio has made a blunder by making such declaration on Naga Integration Issue without consulting the people. The simple fact is that Neiphiu has no moral right to take such unilateral decision whatsoever on Naga issue, unless, he is personally challenging the Naga people to try bringing him down from his lofty chair of the Chief Ministership. While his 100days promise in Nagaland is turning into hogwash, Rio is busy washing the feet of the Central bigwigs at New Delhi and nodding to every

Prevent crime against children, urges Maneka

H.D. Kumaraswamy

Bengaluru, Jun 19 (IANS): A confident Karnataka Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy on Tuesday said he was certain that his Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S)Congress coalition government would complete its five-year term.

“I am confident that I will be the Chief Minister for the next five years and will deliver stable governance with everyone’s cooperation,” Kumaraswamy said in his maiden press conference here after assuming office on May 23.

Calling himself a “sevak” (servant) of the people of Karnataka, the Chief Minister said he was committed to addressing the concerns of all the people whether or not they voted for his party in the May 12 Assembly election.

The JD-S leader’s clarifications came days after he said he was confident that his Chief Ministerial post was untouchable till the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.

“My statement earlier only meant that nothing can go wrong with the coalition government till 2019 Lok Sabha elections. But I am certain that I will remain the Chief Minister for the next five years,” he said.

NASSCOM launches program to support women techies

Bengaluru, Jun 19 (IANS): In an effort to increase the number of women in senior levels in the Information Technology (IT) industry, NASSCOM on Tuesday unveiled its ‘Women Wizards Rule Tech’ programme for women techies, the Indian IT industry’s apex body said.

“This programme is designed to support women who are moving up the career ladder, while also paving the way for potential leaders of the future,” said Senior Director of Nasscom Ashok Pamidi on the occasion. The initiative will aid women techies in core technologies like IT-Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES), Business Process Management (BPM), product and research and development (R&D) sectors

by equipping them with the skills required for an edge in their career, Pamidi said.

Nasscom President Debjani Ghosh, Biocon Chairperson Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw were also at the launch. The Women Wizards Rule Tech was announced in March at the Nasscom Diversity and Inclusion Summit in Chennai as a joint initiative by the Nasscom Sector Skills Council and the Data Security Council of India.

A report by Nasscom on “Women and IT Scorecard - India” launched earlier this year predicted that policies towards flexible work, work-from-home, parental leave, healthcare and antiharassment will increase the number of women in senior level at IT firms from 20 per cent to 60 per cent.

Bengaluru, Jun 19 (IANS): Global leader in domain names and Internet security VeriSign on Tuesday announced that the first quarter of 2018 saw approximately 1.4 million domain name registrations, taking their total number to approximately 333.8 million across all toplevel domains (TLDs).

The “.com” and “.net” TLDs had a combined total of approximately 148.3 million domain name registrations in the domain name base -- registered but not configured -- at the end of the first quarter of 2018, the company said in a statement.

This represents an increase of approximately 1.9 million domain name registrations, or 1.3 per cent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, it added.

The “.com” and “.net” TLDs had a combined increase of approximately 4.6 million domain name registrations, or 3.2 per cent, year over year.

N ew “ . c o m ” a n d “.net” domain name registrations totalled approximately 9.6 million at the end of the first quarter of 2018, compared to 9.5 million domain name registrations for the first quarter of 2017.

Plea in SC for power to President, Governors New Delhi, Jun 19 (IANS): A PIL has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking directions to vest in the President and Governors powers to disqualify a sitting member of Parliament or state Assembly under anti-defection law after consulting the Election Commission (EC).

Seeking to strip the Speaker and the Chairperson of their power to disqualify a sitting member under the tenth schedule of the Constitution, petitioner Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay has contended that the impartiality of the presiding officers on account of their past political allegiances is always under question.

Pointing to the “apprehensions” about the alleged “partisan nature of the Speaker’s decision”, the petitioner advocate said: “Since Speakers are party members, they should not be burdened with the job of pronouncing on the membership of their fellow members.”

Mentioning that motives would be attributed whichever way the presiding officers decide on a plea for disqualification under anti-defection law (the tenth schedule), the recently-filed plea contended that the prevailing system was against the “basic dic-

Supreme Court of India.

tum of democracy and free and fair election in spirit of the Constitution’s Articles 14, 19 and 324”. “It would be unrealistic to expect a Speaker to completely abjure party considerations while deciding on matters under the tenth schedule,” the plea said.

The Constitution’s tenth schedule spells out the provisions for the disqualification of members on grounds of defection under Article 102(2) from either House of the Parliament and Article 191(2) from the state Assembly or the legislative council.

The petitioner, who is also a leader of the ruling BJP, referred to the reports of the Goswami Committee on Electoral Reform, EC’s proposed electoral reforms, and the Law Commission’s 255th report in support of his plea.

The EC in its proposed

reforms had said that it would give its opinion to the President or Governor on the post-election disqualification of a sitting member after giving full opportunity of being heard to the parties.

Coupled with this, the petitioner referred to the judgments of the top court wherein it has held that the decision of the Speaker or Chairperson to disqualify a sitting member was subject to judicial scrutiny under the Constitution’s Article 32, 226 and 136.

The top court had said that the Speaker or Chairperson were discharging quasi-judicial functions when deciding the question whether a member of the House has attracted disqualification on the grounds of defection, thus their decisions are subject to judicial review. Article 32 provides for the right

to constitutional remedies for the enforcement of fundamental rights, Article 226 empowers the high courts to issue directions or orders or writs for the enforcement of the fundamental rights and Article 136 provides for special leave to appeal by the Supreme Court. Upadhyay also referred to the judgment of former Lok Sabha Speaker Shivraj Patil in a defection case involving the members of erstwhile Janata Dal wherein the then Speaker said: “Since Speakers in India are, after all, party members, they should not be burdened with the job of pronouncing on the membership of their fellow members.

Whatever they decide, motives would be imputed to them.”

Even the Goswami Committee recommended that the anti-defection law be changed to provide that the “power of deciding legal issue of disqualification should not be left to the Speaker or Chairman of the House, but to the President or the Governor, as the case maybe who shall act on the advice of the EC, to whom the question should be referred for determination as in the case of any other postelection disqualification of a member”.

Bankers aim at disbursing Rs 50k cr agri loans in Bengal Ko lkat a , J u n 1 9 (IANS): Banks are targeting at disbursing Rs 50,000 crore of agricultural credit to farmers in West Bengal during the current fiscal and the State Level Bankers’ Committee (SLBC) is also planning to bring “uncovered” farm households in the state into the banking fold, an official said on Tuesday.

“Agricultural credit of Rs 44,000 crore was sanctioned by the banks in 2017-18 and banks are targeting at disbursing about Rs 50,000 crore worth of agricultural loans in 201819 (FY19),” United Bank of India’s (UBI) Executive Director Ashok Kumar Pradhan said.

United Bank of India is the convener of the SLBC in West Bengal. According to him, the state has close

to 52 lakh “active” farm households and of them, only around 37 lakh have been issued Kisan Credit Card till date.

“As per the Census, there are close to 71 lakh farm households in the state. However, of these only around 52 lakh are active.

We have been able to cover only 37 lakh farm households so far,” he said.

The SLBC sought as-

sistance to the state government for helping the lenders for identifying these farm households to bring them under the banking fold.

“A s u b - c o m m i t t e e under the SLBC has been formed and a meeting will probably be convened in July to draw a roadmap on how to bring 15 lakh additional uncovered farm households in the banking fold,” Pradhan said after the

SLBC review meeting.

He also said the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana helped covering all marginal farmers and this is giving an impetus to them to come into the banking fold.

Lenders are hopeful that inclusions of 15 lakh more farm households will not only boost the agricul-

tural loan disbursements, but will also boost the creditdeposit (CD) ratio of the state.

The CD ratio of West Bengal at 65 per cent is still far behind many other states.

The target would be to increase this to 67-68 per cent by the end of this fiscal, he said.

Speaking on the occasion, Gandhi urged all stakeholders to unite in preventing and combating crimes against children.

She highlighted that the government is committed to creating a nation free of violence against women and children. “The WCD ministry will work closely with identified stakeholders to ensure that this handbook is available in every police station, preferably in local languages,” she added.

She emphasised that the government has decided to take every step in addressing this issue in the best possible manner. One of the important requirements is to empower and skill the police agencies and other responders in addressing the crimes against children professionally and diligently, she added.

Further, she elaborated

KOHIMA, JUN 19 (NPN): With an aim to empower women in beauty and wellbeing, Youthnet-Godrej Salon fellowship was launched at Food Hub, Kohima on Tuesday. The fellowship was officially launched by Indian film producer, writer and director, Imtiaz Ali in the presence of 23 beauticians from Kohima district.

In his brief address, Ali lauded Youthnet for the initiative. While stating that women entrepreneurs can be an inspiration for many Nagas, he exuded confidence to see Nagaland progressing and urged Youthnet to introduce more meaningful and interesting projects for the youths of the state.

New Delhi, Jun 19 (PTI): Public money is “extremely safe” in state-owned banks, Finance Minister Piyush Goyal said Tuesday against the backdrop of several cases of frauds, including the USD 2 billion scam at PNB, unearthed recently.

Speaking to reporters after meeting several heads of PSBs, he said the government is open to the question of giving more powers to the Reserve Bank for effectively regulating public sector banks.

the official told PTI. The gover nment is looking at turning around the company to ensure that it makes profits on overall basis before going in for listing.

“Certain conditions have to be met before listing a company. Once Air India fulfils those, we will go in for an initial public offering and subsequent listing,” the source said.

As per Sebi norms, a company has to post profit in previous three financial years before it can list itself in the stock exchanges.

“The focus is on improving operational efficiency. We will continue to boost employee morale, starting from the top level, to better the functioning of the airline. Funds would be provided as and when required,” the source added.

The government had originally proposed to offload 76 per cent equity share capital of the national carrier as well as transfer the management control to private players.

The buyer would have had to take over Rs 24,000 crore debt or the carrier along with over Rs 8,000 crore of liabilities.

However, the stake sale failed to attract any bidders when the bidding process got completed on May 31.

The price of Indian basket of crude surged from USD 66 a barrel in April to around USD 74 a barrel at present.

New Delhi, Jun 19 (PTI): The government has decided not to go ahead with Air India stake sale in an election year and will provide required funds for its operations, a senior official said Tuesday.

The decision comes less than 3 weeks after the proposed 76 per cent strategic stake sale in debt laden national carrier failed to attract any bidder.

Air India will very soon get funds from the government for its day to day operations and will even place orders for a couple of aircraft, the government official said.

The decision was taken at the high level meeting convened by Union Minister Arun Jaitley yesterday.

The meeting was attended

by Piyush Goyal, who has been temporarily given the charge of finance ministry, Civil Aviation Minister Suresh Prabhu, Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari and other senior officials of finance and civil aviation ministries.

“The airline is posting operational profits. None of the flights go empty.

With all the cost efficient mechanism in place, we will continue improving its operational efficiency. There is no need to rush in for disinvestment as of now,”

ing market economies will do well,” he said.

He added the government needs to be “very careful and watch out” for the situation, but today “we are at a place where we can manage without having the consequences of what we saw in Taper Tantrum.”

“We have a number of other instruments to use in that case. We have not called upon them to use so far. Last time we came out with NRE (non-resident external) deposit. We are sitting on reserves which are highest ever at USD 415 billion. The place where we are is possibly not the kind of situation where we were in 2013,” he said.

“But we are definitely in a place where we can take care these things, unlike 10 years ago when we didn’t have fire power. I think on macro front we need to be vigilant, but we can take care,” he added.

New Delhi, Jun 19 (PTI): Current account deficit (CAD) at 2.5 per cent of GDP won’t be a worry as the government has the required instruments to deal with any imbalance created due to foreign fund outflow, Economic Affairs Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg said Tuesday.

“2-2.5 per cent CAD is not a problem for us....

If there is stability, in the current year capital account (inflows) should be good enough to take care and we may not worry even if it (CAD) reaches 2.5 per cent,” Garg said.

CAD, which is the difference between the inflow and outflow of foreign exchange, jumped to USD 48.7 billion, or 1.9 per cent of GDP, in 2017-18 fiscal.

This was higher than USD 14.4 billion, or 0.6 per cent, CAD in 2016-17 fiscal.

With rising oil prices, depreciating rupee and outflow of portfolio investments, there are concerns that CAD might rise in the current fiscal.

Kim meets XI to work out future course after summit with Trump

Beijing, Jun 19 (PTI): North Korean leader Kim Jong-un Tuesday briefed Chinese President Xi Jinping on his historic summit with US President Donald Trump in Singapore, underscoring Beijing’s “important role” in the denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula.

President Xi and Chairman Kim exchanged views on the current development of China-North Korea relations and the situation on the Korean Peninsula, staterun Xinhua news agency reported.

Kim’s third visit to China since March is taking place amid sharp escalation of rhetoric between Beijing and Washington over tariffs almost spiralling into a trade war.

Kim, who visited Beijing twice earlier before his Singapore summit with Trump, arrived by air to meet the top Chinese leadership. Unlike his two visits which were shrouded in secrecy until their completion, China announced the visit just as the North Korean dictator landed in Beijing.

“Kim Jong-un, chairman of the Workers’ Party of Korea and Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea

In this image taken from video footage run by China’s CCTV on June 19, Chinese President Xi Jinping shakes hands with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

(DPRK) visits China from June 19 to 20,” Xinhua said.

Xi held a welcoming ceremony for Kim at the Great Hall of the People.

“They agreed to safeguard, consolidate and develop China-DPRK relations, and jointly push forward the sound momentum of peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula to make a positive contribution to safeguarding world and regional peace, stability, prosperity and development,” the agency said.

Kim praised China’s “important role in protecting the Korean Peninsula’s peace and stability,” staterun CCTV said.

North Korea “hopes to work with China and other concerned parties to promote and establish a solid, long-lasting peace mechanism on the Korean Peninsula and make joint efforts to achieve a lasting peace on the peninsula,” Kim said.

On his part, Xi said that he “wants North Korea and the US to carry out the results of their leadership summit” in Singapore, the report said.

Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang parried several questions on Kim’s visit and its purpose saying details will be released in a timely manner.

‘Russia may have upgraded nuclear bunker’ Washington, Jun 19 (IANS): Russia may have significantly upgraded a nuclear weapons storage bunker in Kaliningrad, a Russian territory between Poland and the Baltics, as tensions between Moscow and the West continue to rise, according to a new report.

On Monday, the Washington-based Federation of American Scientists (FAS) published aerial photographs that the group says show the facility in the Baltic outpost has been under major renovation since 2016, reports CNN. FAS said the images

document refurbishments at the site back in 2016, when one of three underground bunkers at the location was excavated and deepened before it appeared to have been covered over in recent months, “presumably to return (to) operational status soon”.

Hans M. Kristensen, the director of the nuclear information project at FAS, said that it was unclear from the images if any nuclear weapons had ever been or will be kept at the facility.

“The features of the site suggest it could potentially serve Russian Air Force or Navy dual-capable

forces. But it could also be a joint site, potentially servicing nuclear warheads for both Air Force, Navy, Army, air-defence, and coastal defence forces in the region,” Kristensen wrote in a blog post on Monday.

“It is to my knowledge the only nuclear weapons storage site in the Kaliningrad region,” he added.

Kaliningrad is an isolated pocket of sovereign Russia on the Baltic coast where several games will be held during the ongoing 2018 FIFA World Cup, CNN reported. Russia has not commented on this development.

and there is a reason for this, he said. As to why news of the visit was released at this point, he said relevant information will be released according to the specific situation.

Geng was not forthcoming when asked whether China will join Russia in calling for lifting of UN sanctions against North Korea in the light of the Singapore summit.

“China stands against the unilateral sanctions outside the UNSC. This position is very clear. We believe that sanctions itself is not an end and all parties should support and coordinate with the current diplomatic efforts and dialogue to work hard for denuclearisation and political settlement of the Korean peninsula issue,” he said.

The UN Security Council imposed a series of economic sanctions against North Korea after it conducted its first nuclear test in 2006, crippling Pyongyang’s economy. Since he took over, Trump piled pressure on China to stringently implement the UN sanctions which many believe led to Kim agreeing to scale down his nuclear programme leading up to the summit with Trump on June 12.

5 migrants drown, 191 rescued off Libyan coast Tripoli, Jun 19 (IANS): Five illegal immigrants were drowned on Monday, and 191 others rescued off the western coast of Libya, Libyan navy spokesperson said.

Two separate operations were carried out by the coast guards, Ayob Qassem, adding that the first one was eight miles off Mellita town in the city of Zuwara, some 120 km west of the capital Tripoli, and rescued 115 illegal immigrants on a rubber boat. “Five bodies of immigrants were recovered,” Qassem said, reports Xinhua news agency.

The illegal immigrants were in a bad condition as a result of waves hitting their boat, tearing it apart, and water leaking. Some of them fell and drowned in the sea, Qassem said.

The spokesperson said the rescued were taken to Tripoli naval base, and provided with humanitarian and medical assistance.

They were then handed over to the anti-illegal immigration department of Tripoli.

Qassem also said that 76 others of different African nationalities were rescued in another operation off the coast of the city of Zawiya, some 45 km west of Tripoli, confirming that the migrants were also handed over to the anti-illegal immigration department.

LONDON , J u n 1 9 (Agencies): Iran has no plans to extend the range of its missiles since their 2,000-km (1,240-mile) reach is enough to protect the country, the Revolutionary Guards commander said on Tuesday, amid mounting U.S. pressure over Tehran’s missile program.

I r a n’s g ove r n m e n t again ruled out negotiations with U.S. President Donald Trump over Tehran’s military capabilities and regional influence, saying that such talks would be against the values of the Islamic Republic. Trump

withdrew the United States last month from the 2015 accord between Iran and world powers that curbed Tehran’s nuclear activity in exchange for sanctions relief.

He said the deal was deeply flawed as it had not curbed Iran’s ballistic missile program or reined in its support for proxies in conflicts in Syria, Iraq and Yemen, and said Washington would reimpose tough sanctions on Tehran.

“We have the scientific ability to increase our missile range but it is not our current policy since most of the enemies’ strategic tar-

ther China or Russia lead in space, and he would be directing federal agencies to “implement a state-ofthe-art framework for space traffic management”.

However, the US Congress would need to pass a law authorising the Trump administration to create any new branch of the military, media reports said.

“When it comes to defending America, it is not enough to merely have an American presence in space.

We must have American dominance in space,” he said in his address to the advisory body led by Vice President Mike Pence.

Trump said that the US will have the Air Force and the Space Force, separate but equal.

“It is going to be something so important...But that’s the importance that we give it. We’re going to have the Space Force,” he said.

Islamabad, Jun 19 (PTI): The nomination papers of Pakistan’s former military ruler Pervez Musharraf for the July 25 general elections were rejected Tuesday by the returning officer on the ground that he was barred for life from contesting elections by the Peshawar high Court in 2013 .

Musharraf, 74, had filed his nomination papers from the northern district of Chitral in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

The ex-dictator had filed a plea in the Supreme Court against the ban imposed on him to contest elections by the Peshawar High Court in 2013.

The apex court had allowed him to file his nomination paper on the conditions that he appears in person on June 13.

Last week, the Supreme Court withdrew the permission it conditionally granted to the ex-dictator after he failed to appear before it in person, and postponed the hearing in the case for the indefinite period.

Returning Officer Muhammad Khan rejected Musharraf ’s nomination papers citing court’s order, officials said.

Donald Trump

Trump said the American economy has become a “strong economy” under his leadership and the foreign policy that he has adopted after coming to power.

“The whole world is looking up to the US, and the US is respected again.

It was a period of time, we were not so respected, not so long ago. The US is respected again,” he said.

“This is an incredible time for our country. I would say that our economy, and many of you know that very well, is doing better than it ever has done,” he said, adding that the employment numbers are the best recorded history. He also promised that the US would “return Americans to the Moon” and would eventually send people to Mars.

“We will establish a long-term presence, expand our economy, and build the foundation for the eventual mission to Mars, which is actually going to happen very quickly,” he said.

“Today we’re taking one more step to unleash the power of American ingenuity,” he said as he signed a new directive to federal departments and agencies.

They will work together with American industry to implement a state-of-the-art framework for space traffic management, he said.

Washington, Jun 19 (PTI): President Donald Trump has ordered the US military to establish a “space force” as the sixth branch of its armed forces to ensure “American dominance” in space amidst competition from Russia and China.

Details of what a new space force would look like and what it would do were not immediately clear. But Trump said it would be “separate but equal” to the Air Force.

The other US military branches are the Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Corps.

Addressing the members of the National Space Council at the White House, Trump, also the commander-in-chief of the military, said the whole world is “looking up” to the US and the country is being respected again.

The president said he has directed the Pentagon to start a process for creating a “Space Force”.

“I’m hereby directing the Department of Defence and Pentagon to immediately begin the process necessary to establish a space force as the sixth branch of the armed forces. That’s a big statement,” Trump said.

He also said it would be unacceptable to let ei-

Officials said that the nomination bid will be rejected due to ruling of the Supreme Court.

by June 22.

The last date for decision on the appeals by tribunals is June 27. The list of valid candidates will be published on June 28, whereas the last date for withdrawal of candidature is June 29.

GROS-ISLET, Jun 19 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : K r a i g g Brathwaite’s defiance and more inclement weather ensured a draw on the final day of the second Test between the West Indies and Sri Lanka at the Darren Sammy Stadium in St Lucia on Monday.

The tourists stayed focused on events on the field in reducing the home side to 64 for four in early afternoon after setting the West Indies an unlikely victory target of 296.

However Brathwaite’s obdurate, unbeaten 59, with support from Shai Hope and captain Jason Holder ensured that the showers which came in the final session, coupled with deteriorating light, eliminated the Sri Lankans’ chances of levelling the series.

IAAF announced its new rules targeting women who naturally produce unusually high levels of testosterone in April, arguing that hyperandrogynous competitors enjoy an unfair advantage.

Athletes classified as “hyper-androgynous”, like Semenya, will have to chemically lower their testosterone levels to 5 nanomoles per litre of blood to be eligible to run any international race of 400 metres

up to the mile. Semenya, who has undergone several sex tests since her first title in 2009, has called the rules discriminatory and violate the IAAF’s Constitution and the Olympic Charter.

The 27-year-old has been at the centre of debate because of her powerful physique, one of the effects of hyper-androgenism which causes those affected to produce high levels of male sex hormones.

India, on Monday, dominated the match in terms of possession and chances created, and were efficient enough as Rani (33rd, 37th minute) scored a brace to give her team a two-goal cushion.

Madrid, Jun 19 (Agencies): Antoine Griezmann has signed a contract extension at Atletico Madrid until 2023, days after rejecting a move to Barcelona.

Griezmann drew criticism from both Barcelona and Atletico fans for revealing his decision in an hour-long documentary broadcast on Spanish TV station Movistar.

Atletico fought to keep Griezmann, who almost joined Manchester United last summer.

Griezmann was offered £17.5m to stay and the promise of a £100m improvement of the squad in order to compete for next season’s top titles.

Thomas Lemar is set to be the first of those arrivals, with Atletico confirming they have agreed terms with the player and the deal is now only subject to him passing a medical and finalising terms with Monaco.

The two clubs had reached a “preliminary agreement” over a deal for Lemar last week, Atletico said.

Griezmann, currently with the France squad at the 2018 World Cup, has now demonstrated his commitment to Atletico by adding another year to his contract after meeting with the club’s chief executive, Miguel Angel Gil Marin, in Russia.

Greizmann scored in France’s opening game of the tournament, a 2-1 win over Australia.

Railways to become a net zero carbon emitter by 2030

New Delhi, Jun 19 (IANS): Railways Minister Piyush Goyal on Tuesday said the Indian Railways will become a “zero carbon emitter” by 2030 through 100 per cent electrification of its network.

“With the cur rent action plans on anvil for 100 per cent electrification coupled with renewable strategies, Indian Railways will become a net zero carbon emitter by 2030,” Goyal said while addressing the Rail Contact 2018 conference organised by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).

“And a good, efficient and modern Railways system can do wonders for the Indian economy and the lives of the people. In fact, it is more energy efficient than road transport and air transport.”

However, it is always a team which needs to work in partnership with a collective effort of working towards a common goal, he said.

Thackeray slams Modi; calls him ‘liar’ MUMBAI, Jun 19 (AGENCIES): Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray said on Tuesday that the government led by Narendra Modi came to power in 2014 by spreading “lies”, in yet another tirade against the BJP government at the Centre.

Addressing Sena workers at the 52nd foundation day of the party in suburban Goregaon, Thackeray said the BJP spread “lies” ahead of the 2014 general elections and made false promises to people to win the mandate.

Shiv Sena runs the government in Maharashtra in alliance with the BJP, but their ties have remain fraught. They recently fought bypolls in Maharashtra separately.

Thackeray mocked Modi’s frequent foreign visits, saying: “Now, Modi will start his tours to other planets.”

His remark came in the backdrop of media reports that an unidentified flying object was sighted near Prime Minister Modi’s Lok Kalyan Marg residence in Delhi earlier this month.

6 children die in Bihar’s Araria after car crash Araria, Jun 19 (AGENCIES): Six children were killed when a sports utility vehicle (SUV) in which they were travelling hit a tree and fell into a pond in Bihar’s Araria district on Tuesday morning.

The children were returning to Doriya village in Raniganj police station of the district after attending a marriage ceremony at Chikni village in Kursankanta police station area, 30 km from Araria town, the police said.

“The driver lost control over the vehicle while trying to save some children who were crossing the road. The vehicle hit a tree and then fell into a pond,” Tarabari police station (SHO) Prashant Kumar said. Soon after the accident, locals rushed to the site and pulled out the children from the vehicle. They were immediately taken to

B e nga lu ru, J u n 19 (AGENCIES): Karnataka High Court has directed two magistrate courts in Bengaluru to submit a report on allegations of custodial torture of four accused in the Gauri Lankesh murder case and non-compliance of judicial procedures.

The allegations are “serious in nature” and the Registry of the High Court has been directed to communicate the order to the magistrates of the first and third additional chief metropolitan magistrate (ACMM) courts, Justice K N Phaneendra said when the matter came up for hearing on Monday.

“They should submit a report on the allegations within 10 days from the date of receipt of this order,” he said.

In an affidavit, advocate N P Amrutesh alleged that Amol Kale, one of the accused in the case, was beaten, slapped and punched on his cheek by police officers while in custody.

The magistrates also failed to comply with procedures mandated by the Supreme Court regarding persons in police custody, he claimed.

The advocate is representing Kale, Sujith Kumar, Amit Ramachandra

Degvekar and Manohar Edave, arrested in connection with the killing of the veteran journalist.

The counsel for the accused also alleged that the magistrate did not order a medical examination even after being informed on June 14 about the torture meted out to one of the accused by the police.

“Instead, the magistrate only recorded injury marks on his body,” he said.

The counsel further said similar complaints regarding custodial torture of the other accused were also made on May 31 before the magistrate of the third ACMM, which was neglected.

Hence, he prayed for a court direction to authorities concerned to conduct

a medical examination of the accused and a probe into their illegal detention and torture by the police.

He also sought Rs 25 lakh as compensation for each of the accused, besides a direction to the magistrate to record their statements in in-camera proceedings.

On June 12, the high court had issued notices to the Karnataka government, state police chief and police officials concerned in the matters.

It had also directed the police to ensure that the accused were not ill-treated.

Gauri Lankesh, a Leftleaning journalist and a strong Hindutva critic, was shot-dead from a close range by motorcycle-borne assailants in front of her house on September 5 last year.

Probe panel gives police, CRPF clean chit in Mandsaur firing B h o pa l , J u n 1 9 (AGENCIES): The Justice JK Jain commission has given a clean chit to police and CRPF personnel allegedly involved in firing at agitating farmers in Mandsaur last year, officials familiar with the development said on Tuesday.

F ive p e o p l e we r e killed in police firing on June 6, 2017, at the peak of the farmers’ agitation in Madhya Pradesh. Another protester also died in a police lathi-charge at Daloda, located about 20 km away.

The report, which was delayed by nine months, stated that police firing had become necessary for the purposes of self-preservation and mob dispersal during the violent farmer agitation. It did not place any blame on then collector Swatantra Kumar Singh or superintendent of police OP Tripathi either, only noting that the information network of the police and state administration was “very weak”. None of the farmers’ demands –

loan waiver or higher price for agricultural produce – could be met at the district level, the commission reasoned.

According to the report, the first incident of police firing occurred at Bahi Pasharvanath in Pipliyamandi, where the mob surrounded eight CRPF men and began pelting them with stones. They then caught hold of two personnel, Vivek Mishra and Udai Prasad, and began beating them while trying to snatch their rifles.

Three other constables who came to their rescue met with a similar fate.

Repeated warnings issued by the remaining CRPF personnel went in vain. Finally, shorn of all choices, they opened fire – killing two protesters and injuring

three others.

The probe panel, however, said it found no evidence supporting the security personnel’s claim that the mob tried to set the CRPF constables on fire.

The report went on to say that an enraged mob of around 1,500 to 2,000 people then proceeded to the nearby Pipliyamandi police station. They surrounded the building and threatened to burn it down after killing all the policemen there.

Tear gas shells and a lathicharge failed to quell the agitators, who entered the police station and began wrecking the computers.

Faced with no choice, the police personnel resorted to firing – killing three and injuring three others.

However, Justice Jain noted that he did not find

in-charge,” he said.

The Congress said the report exposed the antifarmer bias of the BJP government. “If neither the police nor the CRPF are guilty, who is responsible for these deaths?” it asked in a statement.

State Congress president Kamal Nath termed the report as an “attempt to save the guilty”, and said that the prospect of farmers getting justice was getting dimmer by the day.

The officers are waiting for a formal communication for a meeting with the chief minister following his assurance over ensuring safety and dignity of bureaucrats, the IAS AGMUT Association said. Sources, however, said Baijal may not convene the meeting as the L-G office had already asked the AAP government to sit with the officers and end the stalemate following the alleged assault on Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash in February. “#DelhiAtWork #NoToStrike In the context of Honble CM’s assurance, we await formal communication for a meeting with him in the Delhi Secretariat. We reiterate that we continue to be at work,” the association tweeted.

Kejriwal and his cabinet colleagues have been holding a sit-in at the L-G office demanding a direction to officers to end their “strike” and have the doorstep ration delivery scheme approved.

New Delhi, Jun 19 (AGENCIES/PTI): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday called off his nine-day sit-in at the office of the Lieutenant Governor (LG) after bureaucrats started attending meetings with AAP Ministers, said Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.

Sisodia said several meetings, attended by IAS officers, were held during the day. The bureaucrats have been at loggerheads with the AAP dispensation following the alleged assault on Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash in February.

“Arvind Kejriwal will come out of the LG office. It was not a dharna. We were waiting to meet the Lieutenant Governor,” Sisodia told reporters. Meanwhile, in his first communication to Arvind Kejriwal since the latter began a sit-in at his office, Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal today wrote to the chief minister asking him to meet officers urgently to address concerns of both sides through dialogue.

Baijal shot off a letter to Kejriwal in response to his deputy Manish Sisodia’s communication in which

Homecoming of disqualified MLAs ‘bound to happen’: AIADMK

C h e n na i , J u n 1 9 (PTI): A day after Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami welcomed the idea of disqualified party MLAs returning to his AIADMK, the ruling dispensation today asserted that their homecoming was “bound to happen.”

Senior AIADMK leader and Fisheries Minister D Jayakumar said those who have accepted the late Chief Ministers M G Ramachandran (AIADMK founder) and J Jayalalithaa, as their ‘eternal leaders,’ will return to the party fold.

T h e A I A D M K ’s mouthpiece, ‘Namathu Puratchi Thalaivi Amma,’ also extended an indirect invitation to the disqualified MLAs to return to the party.

Speaking to reporters here, Jayakumar recalled the Chief Minister’s statement yesterday in Tiruchirappalli that it “is laudable” if eight of the ex-MLAs owing allegiance to TTV Dhinakaran joined

disqualifition by Assembly Speaker P Dhanapal, but ruled out joining the AIADMK, led by Palaniswami and his deputy O Panneerselvam.

He had said the people of his constituency have endorsed his decision to take back his plea in the court.

Tamilselvan is one of the 18 MLAs who were disqualified last year following their revolt against the chief minister.

A day after the factions led by Palaniswami and erstwhile rebel leader Panneerselvam merged on August 21, 2017, MLAs owing allegiance to Dhinakaran met the then Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao, and sought a “change” in leadership saying they had lost confidence in Palaniswami.

On June 14, the Madras High Court delivered a split verdict on the petitions challenging disqualification of the 18 MLAs. While Chief Justice Indira Banerjee upheld

K Palaniswami (file)

AIADMK. He said, “Those who went away, whether MLAs or ex-MLAs or even an ordinary supporter, they all should accept Amma and Puratchi Thalaivar (as leaders) -- it is for sure that those who have accepted them as their eternal leaders will return to the party.”

While party supporters address Jayalalithaa as Amma, they hail MG Ramachandran as Puratchi Thalaivar (revolutionary leader).

Dhinakaran loyalist Thanga Tamilselvan had said he would withdraw his petition in the Madras High Court challenging his

the September 18 order of Speaker Dhanapal disqualifying the MLAs, Justice M Sundar disagreed with her and set it aside.

The verdict had come as great relief for the Palaniswami government as restoration of the membership of the MLAs could have brought it perilously close to losing majority in the event of their joining hands with opposition DMK-Congress-IUML alliance, which has a combined strength of 98 MLAs in the 234-member Assembly.

In that eventuality, the Opposition’s strength would have swelled to 117, including Dhinakaran, who is the lone independent MLA. The AIADMK also has 117 members in the House, including the Speaker.

Meanwhile, in a writeup titled ‘Netru, Indru, Naalai’ (Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow) the AIADMK mouthpiece recalled Jayalalithaa earlier having discarded her confidante,

JNU denies course on ‘Islamic terrorism’ in reply New Delhi, Jun 19 (PTI): In its reply to a notice by the Delhi Minorities Commission, the JNU administration has said no course on “Islamic terrorism” was proposed in the academic council meeting of the university, DMC chairman Zafarul Islam Khan said today.

JNU registrar Pramod Kumar has said “there was no course on ‘Islamic terror’ proposed in the academic council,” Khan said. Taking cognizance of media reports, the commission last month issued a notice to JNU asking for reasons to start the proposed course.

The registrar provided DMC with a copy of a concept paper on the proposed ‘Centre for National Security Studies’ and said JNU has no knowledge if a course on “Islamic terrorism” is taught in any Indian or foreign university, Khan said.

The registrar has provided DMC with a copy of the minutes of the 145th Academic Council meeting on May 18, where the concept paper was placed for discussion.

Heat wave forces schools to shut in Bengal Ko l k ata , J u n 1 9 ( AG EN C IE S ) : A 4 0 year-old labourer died on Tuesday in West Bengal’s Bankura district in a heat wave which forced the state government to close schools run and aided by it from June 20 to June 30 in most of the districts in the south, government officials said.

According to officials, Tarapada Maji died while he was working in a drain.

“In our preliminary investigation, we have come to know that he died due to sunstroke,” Bankura’s superintendent of police Sukhendu Hira said.

State education minister Partha Chatterjee said on Monday night that the “condition was worrisome”.

“We also request private schools to announce holidays. Besides, we request the teachers in government-run and aided schools to ensure the syllabus is completed despite this additional holiday,” Chatterjee said.

The minister had said in the afternoon that he was against additional holidays due to the heat.

Several private schools including South Point,

Partha Chatterjee

DPS Ruby Park (nursery to class 1), Future Foundation, Garden High School, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan also declared additional holidays from Wednesday following the government advisory.

The schools opened about a week ago after a month-long summer vacation. Teachers said they could not recall any recent history of an additional summer holiday during the monsoons in the state.

Roads in many towns such as Durgapur and Kulti in West Burdwan were deserted after 10am as people tried to avoid the sun. Water crisis was reported from Jamuria and Kulti towns in the district.

The temperature in many districts hovered above 40 degree Celsius and officials of the meteorological department officials warned the heat

wave could continue for at least a couple of days. Officials in Bankura said the temperature on Tuesday was recorded at 42 degree Celsius - the highest of the season.

Though monsoon has officially arrived in West Bengal, hot winds from the west have got the better of the weak moisture-laden southwesterly winds leading to the high temperature.

Five districts in north Bengal witnessed rains but the south has remained dry.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Monday evening temperature above 40 degree Celcius was recorded from parts of eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, Jharkhand and Gangetic West Bengal.

“Heatwave conditions are likely to prevail over parts of east India and coastal Andhra Pradesh during next 48 hours,” it said.

The temperature in Kolkata on Tuesday could reach 40 degrees, said the weather office. The state capital’s maximum temperature soared to 40.6 degree Celsius, seven degrees above normal, on Monday.

It was the highest in June in a decade.

Kerala road rage case: Vijayan orders probe CBI investigating ex-joint chief who led bank fraud investigations his complaint only after the MLA filed one of his own, he added.

Later, Sheena directly approached the local court and submitted her statement under Section 164-B of the Indian Penal Code.

“Although we are under tremendous pressure to withdraw the case, we will not budge. We will take the case to its logical conclusion. We later heard that the MLA has a history of roadrage cases, which should not be permitted in a state like Kerala,” said Krishnan, an engineering graduate.

Thiruvananthapuram, Jun 19 (AGENCIES): Six days after a Left Democratic Front (LDF) legislator allegedly assaulted a man in front of his mother in a road rage case, the Kerala government on Tuesday transferred a police officer who was said to have refused to entertain their complaint.

Replying to a submission in the state assembly, chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan said Asokan has been instructed to submit a report at the earliest. Opposition leaders have been raising the issue in the house for the last two days, alleging that the government is trying to shield the legislator.

The incident occurred last Wednesday, while the MLA was heading towards a house in Pathanapuram to pay his respects to the family of a deceased person. The man, 22-year-old G Ananth Krishnan, and his mother, Sheena, were returning from the same house. However,

China hits back at Pompeo; accuses US of blackmail tactics

Turkish air strikes kill 26 terrorists in Turkey, Iraq IS TAN BU L , J u n 1 9 (Agencies): Turkish air strikes killed 26 terrorists and destroyed their gun positions, shelters and ammunition stores in southeast Turkey and northern Iraq this week, Turkey’s armed forces said on Tuesday.

The military said in a statement released on Twitter that the strikes were carried out on Sunday and Monday in Turkey’s Diyarbakir and Sirnak provinces and in the AvasinBasyan area of northern Iraq, where the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) terrorist group has bases.

The Turkish military has ramped up air strikes in northern Iraq, targeting PKK bases in Qandil, close to the Iraq-Iran border, where Ankara suspects high-ranking members of the terrorist group are located. Ankara has also recently stepped up its warnings of a potential ground offensive into the Qandil region, with Erdogan vowing to “drain the terror swamp” there.

Separately, one Turkish soldier was killed and two wounded early on Tuesday after one stepped on an improvised explosive device planted by the PKK in the southeastern province of Siirt, the governor’s office said. In the neighbouring province of Sirnak, located on the Iraqi border, one Turkish soldier was killed and two others wounded after an explosive planted on the road went off, a security source said.

“I have to point out that US remarks confused right with wrong and made irresponsible accusations against China to cover up its unilateral and protectionist moves,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a media briefing here today when asked for his reaction to Pompeo’s comments.

Asked whether the trade war has begun, Geng said, “China will not ignite a trade war, yet we are not afraid of it. If someone incites a trade war, we will firmly safeguard our legitimate interests.”

Separately, the Chinese Commerce Ministry has hit back accusing the US of blackmailing by threatening to slap additional tariffs on USD 200 billion of Chinese goods and warned that it would hit back with comprehensive measures if Washington went ahead with the plan.

China’s response came after Trump threatened to impose tariffs on an additional USD 200 billion worth of Chinese goods,

M a lm o , J u n 1 9 (Agencies): A shooting at an internet cafe in the southern Swedish city of Malmo has claimed the lives of three men.

Several others were wounded in the centre of the city late on Monday, when at least one attacker opened fire as the victims left the cafe.

Police said there was no indication of terrorism.

Malmo has gained a reputation for violent crime.

Monday night’s attack - which occurred near a police station - is being linked to gangs and organised crime.

Witnesses reported hearing about 15 shots fired by an automatic weapon.

The gunman is believed to have fled the scene by car.

One wounded man was seen being loaded into the getaway car. Three others were treated in hospital.

Those killed were aged 19, 27 and 29, police said.

At least one of them was known to police, Swedish media reported.

While deadly violence has risen in the Malmo area in recent years, the number of lethal attacks almost halved last year, falling from 30 to 17.

South Korea and U.S. soldiers watch from an observation post during a joint live firing drill at the Seungjin Fire Training Field in Pocheon, northeast of Seoul.

Seoul, Jun 19 (AFP): South Korean and US officials Tuesday confirmed the suspension of scheduled joint military drills, making good on a pledge by President Donald Trump during his summit with North Korea’s leader.

Seoul, which has tens of thousands of US troops on its soil to help protect it from its hostile northern neighbour, said the suspension would affect the large-scale Ulchi Freedom Guardian exercises slated for August. “South Korea and the US plan to continue discussions for further measures,” the South’s defence ministry said in a statement, adding that “no decisions have been reached for other ensuing drills.” Some 17,500 US military personnel were

due to take part in the Freedom Guardian drills.

“We are still coordinating additional actions. No decisions on subsequent war games have been made,” Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said in confirming the suspension.

“There is no impact on Pacific exercises outside of the Korean Peninsula.”

White said US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Advisor John Bolton would meet later this week at the Pentagon to discuss the issue.

Last week, Tr ump made the surprise announcement that the US would halt “war games” with its South Korean security ally - without making clear when the freeze would begin.

By the end of 2017, the number was nearly three million higher than the previous year and showed a 50per-cent increase from the 42.7 million uprooted from their homes a decade ago, according to a report by the UN refugee agency.

The current figure is equivalent to the entire population of Thailand, and the number of people forcibly displaced equates to one in every 110 persons worldwide, it said.

“We are at a watershed, where success in managing forced displacement globally requires a new and far more comprehensive approach so that countries and commu-

Monday approved a $716 billion defence budget bill, including an amendment prohibiting sales to Turkey of F-35 Joint Strike Fighter jets made by Lockheed Martin, Xinhua news agency reported.

The amendment claimed that Turkey’s purchasing of the S-400 air defence system from Russia increases tensions and risks to the NATO alliance. It also demanded the release of US Pastor Andrew Brunson held in Turkey who faces terror charges.

nities aren’t left dealing with this alone,” said UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi.

But around 70 per cent of that number are people from just 10 countries, he told reporters in Geneva ahead of the report’s launch.

“If there were solutions to conflicts in those 10 countries, or in some of them at least, that huge figure, instead of rising every year, could start going down,” he said, calling for more political will to halt the crises driving so many from their homes. The report showed that 16.2 million people were freshly displaced last year, and included those forced to flee for the first time as well as those who had been previously displaced. This equates to some 44,500 people being pushed out of their homes every day -- or one person every two

seconds, UNHCR said.

Most people flee within their own country, and are defined as internally displaced people, or IDPs. By the end of 2017, there were some 40 million IDPs worldwide, down slightly from previous years, with Colombia, Syria and Democratic Republic of Congo accounting for the greatest numbers.

Another 25.4 million people -- more than half of them children -- were registered as refugees last year.

That is nearly three million more than in 2016, and “the highest known total to date”, it said.

Syria’s seven-year conflict alone had, by the end of last year, pushed more than 6.3 million people out of the country, accounting for nearly one-third of the global refugee population.

Another 6.2 million Syrians are internally displaced.

But officials were sanguine on the announcement Tuesday, with Defence Minister Itsunori Onodera saying Trump’s move would not affect US-Japan exercises.

“In talks with Secretary Mattis, we confirmed that we will implement drills between Japan and the US,” he told reporters.

The moves and counter moves on tariffs came as the two countries held several rounds of talks following Trump’s demand to slash bilateral trade deficit

by USD 100 billion in a month followed by USD 200 billion to address the USD 375 billion deficit.

If the United States loses its rationality and unveils another list of Chinese products for additional tariffs, China will have no choice but to take comprehensive measures combining quantitative and qualitative ones to resolutely strike back, a spokesperson of the Chinese Commerce Ministry said.

“Such practice of imposing extreme pressure and blackmailing is contrary to the consensus the two sides have reached through rounds of consultations, and disappoints the international community,” the spokesperson said.

Beijing, Jun 19 (PTI): China Tuesday accused the Trump administration of igniting a full-blown trade war with “blackmailing” tactics to impose punitive tariffs on USD 200 billion of Chinese goods as it rebutted the US allegations of following “predatory economic” policies against the rest of the world.

In his most scathing comments yet against China, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo yesterday accused Beijing of following predatory economic policies against the rest of the world.

“This is predatory economics 101, and many other countries have recognized this. President (Donald) Trump is now working to re-shift this balance,” Pompeo was quoted as saying.

“Chinese leaders over these past few weeks have been claiming openness and globalization, but it’s a joke. Let’s be clear. It’s the most predatory economic government that operates against the rest of the world today. This is a problem that’s long overdue in being tackled,” Pompeo said in Detroit.

Netflix announces new Will Kevin Spacey film ‘Billionaire Boys Club’ to hit theatres Ferrell film, ‘Eurovision’ “B F errell is to write and star in the movie based on the annual Eurovision Song Contest.

Will Ferrell will cowrite and act in a new comedy movie about the Eurovision Song Contest.

Deadline reports that the film - called Eurovision - will be about the international European music competition.

Ferrell, who is famous for roles in hit movies such as Anchorman and Elf, is to pen the screenplay with his long-time collaborator Andrew Steele (Funny or Die creative director, former head writer on Saturday Night Live).

The Eurovision Song Contest began in Switzerland in 1956 when seven west European nations

took park.

In March 2018, 43 countries competed for the prize in Lisbon. It was won by Israel’s Netta, who performed ‘Toy’ - a bizarre pop song about female empower ment which racked up millions of hits on YouTube prior to the competition.

ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest for Sweden in 1974 with

‘Waterloo’.

Other previous winners who went on to launch successful careers include Céline Dion, who won the contest in 1988 for Switzerland.

Eurovision is Ferrell’s second film with Netflix after May’s release, Ibiza, a comedy he produced that stars Gillian Jacobs.

Netflix has been enlisting many A-list standup comedians recently including Amy Schumer, Chris Rock, and Jerry Seinfeld.

Eurovision also joins a set of major films heading to Netflix over the next few years. Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, which stars Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, is one such movie in the pipeline.

(NME)

illionaire Boys Club,” starring disgraced Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey, is slated to hit theaters in August.

Spacey, a two-time Academy Award winner, has been absent from the big screen following a slew of sexual misconduct allegations brought against him. Actor Anthony Rapp was the first the accuse him in October 2017, telling BuzzFeed News that Spacey allegedly made a sexual advance toward him when he was 14 years old.

Spacey was fired from his lead role on the hit Netflix series “House of Cards” and written out of the show’s final season. He was also replaced in Ridley Scott’s “All the Money in the World” by Christopher Plummer.

Vertical Entertainment, the distributor of “Billionaire Boys Club,” told The Wrap the film

would have a limited release in theaters starting on Aug. 17. The movie was shot before the sexual misconduct allegations came to light.

“We hope these distressing allegations pertaining to one person’s behavior — that were not publicly known when the film was made almost 2.5 years ago — do not tarnish the release,” Vertical Entertainment told The Wrap in a statement.

“We don’t condone sexual harassment on any level and we fully support victims of it. At the same time, this is neither an easy

nor insensitive decision to release this film in theaters, but we believe in giving the cast, as well as hundreds of crew members who worked hard on the film, the chance to see their final product reach audiences,” the statement continued.

The distributor said it “hoped audiences make up their own minds as to the reprehensible allegations of one person’s past, but not at the expense of the

entire cast and crew present on this film.”

The film also stars Ansel Elgort, Emma Roberts and Taron Egerton.

The movie was directed

by James Cox. The film chronicled a true story about “a group of wealthy boys in Los Angeles during the early 1980s establish a ‘get-rich-quick’ scam that turns deadly,” according to IMDB. (FoxNews)

Kane double gives Eng win over Tunisia

VOLGOGRAD, Jun 19 (Agencies): Captain Harry Kane came to the rescue with two goals, the second a dramatic injurytime winner, as England began their World Cup Group G campaign with a stuttering 2-1 win over Tunisia Monday. Gareth Southgate’s men almost paid a heavy price for missing a slew of first-half chances when Tunisia’s Ferjani Sassi slotted home a softly awarded penalty 20 minutes before halftime.

And the North Africans were still level as the game went past the 90-minute mark.

But Harry Maguire won a header from a corner and Kane was on hand at the far post to nod in the winner before being mobbed by his ecstatic teammates. “I’m so proud of the lads,” Kane said.

“They kept going, kept going to the last second.

“I am absolutely buzzing, everyone on the staff is. It shows good character to get the job done.”

England had started brightly in a blur of passing and movement and could have been two goals up inside the first four minutes.

First Jordan Henderson’s lofted first-time pass released Dele Alli and when the ball eventually broke to Jesse Lingard he saw his shot from six yards saved by the outstretched left boot of Mouez Hassen in the Tunisia goal.

Kane had been kept quiet in the opening salvos but he exploded into action in the 11th minute when he cut inside from the left and saw his shot from the edge of the box deflected wide for a corner.

Ashley Young delivered the set piece for John Stones to rise highest and meet with a powerful header.

Hassen saved acrobatically but Kane was on hand to tap home the rebound with his right foot and open his World Cup account.

Hassen, who had in-

jured his left shoulder making an earlier save, could not continue and left the field in tears as he was replaced in goal by Farouk Ben Mustapha.

England continued to press and were made to pay for not converting a succession of chances when they conceded a soft penalty. Kyle Walker swung a lazy arm across Fakhreddine Ben Youssef, who fell as if poleaxed and Colombian referee Wilmar Roldan pointed to the spot, with his decision being upheld by the VAR. Sassi took one step and fired home confidently past the hitherto unemployed Jordan Pickford.

Still there was time for Lingard to come close again twice, first from a goal-bound shot and then a dink over the ’keeper that agonizingly struck the post. They still enjoyed the lion’s share of possession but could not find the same zip and penetration they had enjoyed at the start of the first half.

sports FIFA charges Mexico after fans chant anti-gay slur

Spain face WC date with destiny against Iran

M o s c ow, J u n 1 9 (Agencies): FIFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against Mexico after their fans used an antigay slur during the team’s 1-0 win over Germany.

Some Mexican supporters chanted the slur when Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer prepared to take a goal kick in the 24th minute of Sunday’s game at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. Fans in Mexico use the chant to insult opposing goalkeepers as they take a goal kick. Widely considered a slur, some argue there is no discriminatory intent.

FIFA did not elaborate on the nature of the disciplinary proceedings and didn’t say when a hearing would take place.

‘Further updates will be communicated in due course. As proceedings are ongoing please understand we cannot comment further at this stage,’ FIFA said in a statement.

The Mexican football federation has been repeatedly fined by FIFA over fans chanting the slur in recent years, but the sanctions haven’t escalated.

The federation and players have previously urged fans to stop the chant to avoid further punishment.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport canceled two fines against Mexico in November, ruling the chant was ‘insulting’ but not meant to offend, though it left other fines in force.

FIFA is using a new anti-discrimination procedure for the World Cup, under which referees are instructed to stop the game for an announcement on the public address system when discriminatory behavior is seen or heard.

If it continues, the official could suspend the game, and then abandon it if the behavior persists.

FIFA did not respond to a request for comment on why the referee did not use the system during Sunday’s game.

Spain players during a practise session. Spain will take on Iran on Wednesday.

KAZAN, Jun 19 (Agencies): Spanish playmaker Isco say Wednesday’s match against Iran will determine their World Cup destiny as they seek to register their first win in Russia following a gripping 3-3 draw against Portugal.

Champions in 2010 and among the favourites this year, Spain’s World Cup ambitions were kept in check, almost singlehandedly, by a stunning Cristiano Ronaldo hattrick.

The draw came just two days after Spain’s campaign was thrown into disarray by the shock sacking of coach Julen Lopetegui following an untimely announcement

by Real Madrid that he would join the 13-times European champions after the tournament.

Fer nando Hier ro, Spain’s sporting direc-

tor, is now at the helm but barely a week into the tournament La Roja - expected to join Brazil, Germany and France in the latter stages - have endured more drama than they would have wanted or expected.

“It’s a crucial match that will determine our World Cup destiny,” said Isco. “We want to score from the opening minute, even though that won’t be easy.

We will stick to the style that defines us as a team, but we have to pass the ball around a lot more and maintain possession.

If we play quickly across the pitch, the chances will come. I hope we score quickly.”

Iran kicked off their campaign with a 1-0 win against Morocco, thanks to a late own goal by Aziz Bouhaddouz, piling the pressure on Spain at Ka-

zan Arena on Wednesday.

Iran sit top of the pile as the only Group B team with a win so far, an achievement that sparked incredible celebrations in the streets of Tehran and elsewhere throughout the Islamic republic.

Coach Carlos Queiroz concedes Iran now face one of the biggest challenges in their World Cup history, but maintains they can “make the impossible possible”.

“If the game against Morocco was the World Cup final for us, the game against Spain will be the Universe Cup final,” said the former Real Madrid coach. “It was not a miracle that we won. What can happen once in a while is a group of people, when they are united, can create super stories and super things. Our attitude is to try and make the impos-

sible possible.”

Yet keeping the Spanish armada at bay to claim the point that would boost hopes of qualifying for the last 16 looks a tall order.

Iran have never beaten a European side at a World Cup - their only previous victory was a 2-1 win over the United States in France in 1998.

Despite the frustration of conceding an 88thminute equaliser to Ronaldo following two goals from Diego Costa and a stunning strike from Nacho, Isco believes Spain’s resolve remains intact.

“We had a setback but we stuck together and got on with the job,” he said.

“We saw that in the first match. We never gave up, even after conceding a goal in the fourth minute.

That shows what this team is all about. We’ll never stop fighting.”

VATUTINKI, Jun 19 (Agencies): Germany captain Manuel Neuer said Tuesday their two remaining World Cup group games are now effectively “finals” as the holders fight to stay in the tournament.

The world champions are under intense pressure ahead of Saturday’s second Group F game against Sweden in Sochi and the South Korea match next Wednesday in Kazan after suffering a shock 1-0 defeat to Mexico on Sunday.

“From now on, we only have finals. The players have to show what they can do but I am convinced that we can do it,” said Neuer at the German team hotel.

Pre-World Cup talk from the German camp was about becoming the first team since Brazil in 1962 to defend the title.

Now the worr y is whether Joachim Loew’s team can even reach the last 16.

“Complaining about what happened doesn’t change anything, we all know that,” said Neuer about the Mexico defeat.

“We have to try to put this behind us as quickly as possible.”

Senegal sneak past Poland 2-1

Poland’s Grzegorz Krychowiak, left, and Senegal’s Mame Diouf fight for the ball during their match.

M o s c o w, J u n 1 9 (Agencies): Senegal deservedly defeated Poland in a game of few chances to claim the first win by an African team at the World Cup - although there was a hint of controversy about their second goal.

M’Baye Niang sprinted back on to the field of play after injury and immediately intercepted a backpass from midfield, beating former Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny and Southampton

defender Jan Bednarek to the ball.

He then slotted into an empty net - to the confusion and disgust of several Poland players, who protested in vain to referee Nawaf Shukralla.

The Lions of Teranga had taken the lead shortly before the break when a shot from Everton’s Idrissa Gueye took a huge deflection off the unfortunate Thiago Cionek. Poland created little, with striker Rob-

ert Lewandowski feeding on scraps and heavily marked

by Senegal’s huge central defensive pairing of Salif Sane and Kalidou Koulibaly.

But they ensured a frantic finale when Grzegorz Krychowiak headed home a free-kick at the far post.

The result came hours after Japan had defeated 10man Colombia in Group H’s opening game - and there is a strong possibility that one of the qualifiers could go on to play England in the last 16.

It was played four, lost four for the African teams so far in Russia before Senegal and Poland became the final two sides to make their bow at this World Cup. But playing in their second World Cup, Senegal showed a passion and physicality that their seeded opponents could not handle.

Aliou Cisse’s team were wayward in their finishing epitomised by one horribly miscued first-half strike by the lively Niang - and some of their decision-making saw good openings wasted.

But they played with great ambition and purpose and showed enough to suggest they could well qualify from what is regarded as a Today’s matches 1st match: 5:30pm Portugal vs Morocco 2nd match: 8:30 pm Uruguay vs Saudi Arabia 3rd match: 11:30 pm Iran vs Spain

very open group.

Like Lewandowski, Liverpool’s Sadio Mane had dominated the prematch billing, but was heavily marked and posed little

forward threat. But that will surely be of little concern to the skipper as his team hope to emulate the team of 2002, who reached the quarter-finals.

Oliver Kahn was undoubtedly one of the greatest goalkeepers the game has ever seen. In 2002, he became the first goalkeeper to win the Adidas Golden Ball Award, given to the best player at the FIFA World Cup. As a consequence, he also won the Lev Yashin Award for the Best Goalkeeper. In Korea-Japan, he was in imperious form during the course of the World Cup, keeping five clean sheets as a less-than-impressive Germany reached the final. In each of Germany’s 1-0 wins in the round of 16, quarterfinal and semifinal, Kahn was the top performer. It’s no exaggeration, but they wouldn’t have managed to get to the final without him.

them pay for such wastefulness as Quintero embarrassed Eiji Kawashima with his free-kick that trickled under his wall and over the line despite his desperate attempts to keep it out.

But Colombia rarely threatened in the second half as Japan took control. Osako forced Ospina into another save low to his left after rolling Davinson Sanchez before Hiroki Sakai was denied by another

sprawling save from the Colombian keeper.

But from the ensuing corner from substitute Keisuke Honda, Osako rose above Santiago Arias to flick his header in off the far post.

Colombia brought on James Rodriguez and Carlos Bacca in a desperate bid to salvage a point but Japan held on for a first win at the World Cup since beating Denmark in 2010.

Saransk, Jun 19 (Agencies): Japan secured their first World Cup victory on European soil as Yuya Osako’s header earned a 2-1 win over 10man Colombia in Saransk.

Colombia suffered the worst possible start after Carlos Sanchez was sent off for handling Osako’s goalbound shot with Shinji Kagawa on hand to calmly slot the resulting penalty (6).

But Colombia responded well to the setback to deservedly equalise through Juan Quintero’s clever freekick under the wall (39).

Japan were the dominant side in the second period and after David Ospina had twice been forced into good saves, Osako rose to head in the winning goal (73) .

Japan were handed a slice of good fortune after Carlos Sanchez was correctly dismissed for using his arm to keep out Osako’s shot after Ospina had done well to initially deny Kagawa.

Referee Damir Skomina didn’t hesitate in brandishing the first red card of this World Cup, the second fastest in the tournament’s history, and Kagawa showed composure to handle the long delay and send the Arsenal goalkeeper the wrong way.

Takashi Inui and Osako both missed glorious chances to extend Japan’s lead, and Colombia made
