PM to form panel on ‘one nation, one poll’
NEW DELHI, JUN 19 (PTI): A committee for giving “time-bound” suggestions on the issue of ‘one nation, one election’ will be set up by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh announced Wednesday after a meeting of chiefs of political parties. In a bid to build a consensus on holding simultaneous polls to the Lok Sabha and state assemblies, Modi convened the meeting of presidents of all political parties for which 40 were invited. 21 parties attended the meeting while three shared their views on the subject in writing. Addressing media persons after the meeting, Singh, who moderated the gathering, said most parties supported the ‘one nation, one election’ idea. However, Left parties such as the CPI and the CPI-M had “difference of opinion” on how the exercise of joint elections will be held and that they were “not opposed (to the idea)”, he said. Among the notable absentees were Congress president Rahul Gandhi, West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC leader Mamata
Electric vehicles to be exempted from registration fees NEW DELHI, JUN 19 (AGENCIES): As per a notification issued by the Ministry of Road, Transport and Highway led by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, all electric vehicles are exempted from paying road tax for vehicle registration. The exemption of road tax will apply to all categories of vehicles – 2-wheelers, 3-wheelers and 4-wheelers sold in India. There will be no renewal fees for existing vehicles, while the new vehicles won’t have to pay the fees henceforth. The notification says “Provided further that, for the Battery Operated Vehicles as defined in rule 2(u); the items given at sl. no. 4 of the below mentioned TABLE shall be exempted from the payment of fees for the purpose of issue or renewal of registration certificate and assignment of new registration mark.” Earlier this month, Niti Aayog proposed for the sale of only electric vehicles in India starting 2030. The government is also planning to sell only electric threewheelers from April 2023 and electric two-wheelers under 150cc from April 2025 onwards. The steps will be taken to reduce rising pollution levels in India.

TRS was represented by its working president K T Rama Rao. According to sources, this panel is likely to be political in nature that will include leaders from various political parties. Singh said Modi made it clear at the meeting that the “simultaneous polls is not government’s agenda and that it is the nation’s agenda.” Quoting Modi, Singh said he told presidents
of the political parties that if there is any difference of opinion it is welcome. Those who attended the meeting included NCP leader Sharad Pawar, CPIM’s Sitaram Yechury, CPI general secretary S Sudhakar Reddy, Bihar Chief Minister and JD (U) leader Nitish Kumar, SAD leader Sukhbir Singh Badal, Odisha Chief Minister and BJD leader Naveen Patnaik and National People’s Party leader Conard Sangma.

Birla elected LS speaker unopposed NEW DELHI, JUN 19 (PTI): NDA nominee Om Birla was on Wednesday unanimously elected speaker of the Lok Sabha with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and opposition assuring him of their whole-hearted support in the smooth conduct of proceedings in the House. Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary, DMK’s T.R. Baalu and TMC’s Sudip Bandyopadhyay were among those who backed Birla and urged him to be impartial as presiding officer of the lower house. “I on behalf of the government and the treasury benches assure you full support in conducting the House. I also assure you that your order will prevail and you must be tough even if anyone from our side (treasury benches) crosses the limit,” Modi said, congratulating Birla. ‘Will run House impartially’: Newly-elected Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said he will run the

House in an impartial manner, while asserting that the chair should not be biased. Addressing the House after being unanimously elected as the speaker, Birla assured the members that he will preside over the proceedings in accordance with rules and regulations and “safeguard the interests of the members irrespective of the strength of their parties in the House”. Praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi for running a transparent government, Birla said he expects the “government to be more responsible and answerable in the House”.
simultaneous polls as “antidemocracy and anti-federalism” and said “the BJP is trying to bring in president form of government structure through back door.” Sources said that the Opposition parties want proper discussion before going ahead with simultaneous polls.
Law panel for tough legal framework
As the government toys with the idea of holding simultaneous polls to Lok Sabha and state assemblies, the Law Commission has recommended a tough legal framework for such a gigantic exercise. The law panel, in its draft recommendations
made last August, recommended amendments to the Constitution and the Representation of the People Act to ensure simultaneous elections. Simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and state assemblies can be held in two phases, provided at least two provisions of the Constitution are amended and ratified by majority of the states, the panel had recommended. The law panel document stated that the leader of the majority party be elected prime minister or chief minister by the entire House (Lok Sabha or state Assembly) to ensure stability of the government as well as the Lok Sabha or the Assembly. The report proposed amending the Constitution (Articles 83(2) and 172(1) dealing with tenures of Lok Sabha and state Assemblies) and the Representation of the People Act to extend the terms of state legislative Assemblies to effect the move. It suggested that in case a government fell mid-term, the term of the new government would be for the remaining period “and not for a fresh five-year term”.
Army plans crackdown on key North East insurgent groups NEW DELHI, JUN 19 (AGENCIES): With Rajnath Singh’s appointment as defence minister ‘bridging the gap’ with the Home ministry, the army is preparing for a crackdown on the leadership of key North East insurgent groups that have managed to evade the law for the past several years by taking advantage of the porous borders with Myanmar and Bhutan, The Economic Times report stated. Sources said the top leadership of the most active insurgent groups has been put on the target list and action will unroll over the next few weeks for a sustained crackdown that will follow recent joint operations with Myanmar to shut down camps along the border. “The supply and recr uitment of insurgent groups has been hit badly and the leadership command and control has been affected. The top leadership is now under the scanner,” officials aware of the developments told ET. While a list has been drawn up, active groups in the North East like Na-
Apex Sumi student body reaffirms resolution on adoption of child DIMAPUR, JUN 19 (NPN): All Sumi Students’ Union (Sumi Kiphimi Kuqhakulu-SKK) has reiterated the stand on adoption of child by Sumi couples and reaffirmed its commitment to preserve the traditional paternal lineage of inheritance. In a press release, SKK president Atokiho Sumi and general secretary Hutoshe Kits said that SKK would want the inheritance matters of Sumi to continue on ‘paternal’ and not on ‘maternal’ basis. They said that SKK at its 2nd union assembly resolved to preserve and protect the inherent rights of the Sumi and out rightly oppose anybody or authority that “attempt to contaminate the strong fabric of the Sumi cultural identity where the kingship is based on bloodline inher-
ently.” SKK also affirmed that it would not tolerate any move that attempted to snatch ‘Sumi birth right’ by adopted children at any level. The union affirmed that its stand was in line with NSF standing resolution “Nagas by Blood, not by Adoption”. SKK maintained that any opportunity— be it government service, technical studies or inheritance of property, would be based purely on “Sumi by blood, not by adoption”. The union said it does not oppose adoption of child by anybody/couples. SKK, however, stated that it would encourage any Sumi couple to do so on blood line so as to avoid any future complications or deprivations. SKK has, therefore, called upon its constitu-
ent units to be vigilant at their respective level and report the matter to SKK office for further course of action. SKK also urged all responsible authority to respect the rights of the Sumi and not to entertain any doubtful identity/candidate, especially government jobs seekers and get proper verification from SKK. The apex Sumi student body asserted that it would not entertain any recommendation/approval of such doubtful identity and would fix the responsibilities on the concern recommending/approving authority in the event of any discrepancy that arose in its “resolute pursuance to preserve its customary practices and to protect our inherent rights from being invaded by the outsiders.”
Dimapur train travellers rewarded with neglect by NFR Staff Reporter DIMAPUR, JUN 19 (NPN): Despite increasing number of passengers travelling by trains from Dimapur, whose numbers are around 4500 to 5000 everyday, there are hardly around 4000 tickets available at the passenger ticket counters at Dimapur railway station. As the second highest revenue earner under Northeast Frontier Railway(NFR), Dimapur has not been given its due with regard to the demand for more seats. Passengers of Dimapur are denied seat quotas as well as being deprived of basic amenities as the NFR continues to give lame excuses. Seats for both Jan Shatabdi( which was originally from Guwahti to Dimapur but which has been made into Guwahati to Jorhat), are very limited.
tional Democratic Front of Bodoland (Songbijit) and NSCN (K) are likely to face the heat. The biggest hurdle in the past had been the ability of the insurgent group leadership to traverse across porous borders when a crackdown was put into action. This time around, sources say, sustained efforts by the Myanmar Army to clean up the border can pay dividends. NDFB leader G Bidai, who was behind the massacre of 70 tribals in Sonitpur in December 2014, is believed to be hiding along with a small band of cadres on the India-Bhutan border. He escaped a large dragnet by joint forces last year and has been keeping a very low profile. NSCN (K) leader Niki Sumi, who was the mastermind of the attack on an army convoy at Chandel in June 2015 that left 18 soldiers dead, is believed to be in Myanmar and is suspected to be running a successful gold mining business, ET reports stated Officials say the matter was discussed by Rajnath Singh with key military
leaders during a round of briefings over the last few days. “In his earlier role as the home minister, he was instrumental in offering the liberal surrender policy. His role as the defence minister now bridges the gap and will synchronise efforts,” an official said. Army officers who have dealt extensively with the North East feel that India is well poised to break the back of the insurgency. “The Indian state is at its strongest now to take on insurgent groups. With the full support of the Myanmar Army, this is the right time to put pressure on the insurgent leadership,” Lt Gen (Retd) Shokin Chauhan, former director general of Assam Rifles, and current Cease-Fire Monitoring Group chairman, Nagaland, told ET. It may be mentioned that the Myanmar army (Tatmadaw) intensified operations against NE insurgents, since January this year. The Tatmadaw said it will continue its operations against the NSCN (K) and Indian insurgent groups working from its soil
After state govt’s assurance, ENSF temporarily suspends indefinite stir DIMAPUR, JUN 19 (NPN): Eastern Naga Students’ Federation (ENSF) on Wednesday announced “temporary suspension” of its proposed indefinite stir from Thursday following a written assurance from the State government to look into its demands. According to federation’s vice-president Hamnyei Angh and assistant general secretary Kumcho Khiungpuh, the government had assured in writing to take up the relaxation policy with Government of India (GoI), especially making a special mention of Eastern Nagaland. The duo said the government had also stated in the letter that the relaxation policy would continue to remain operational till such time the reply from Government of India was received. Following this, the federation held an emergency meeting with its federating units and decided to suspend temporarily the proposed agitation. However, Eastern Naga Students’ Federation reminded the department concerned to implement in letter and spirit the existing notification, besides demanding that the two under-construction DIET institution at Longleng and Kiphire should be made functional from next academic sessions. Further, as mentioned in its representation, the federation also demanded establishment of B Ed colleges in all four districts of Eastern Nagaland within the current financial year. The federation also directed all its federating units to temporarily suspend the proposed agitation until further notice.
TDAPC serves ultimatum on state govt
DIMAPUR, JUN 19 (NPN): Tuensang District Action Plan Committee (TDAPC) has served an ultimatum on the state government to initiate the proposed up-gradation/ widening of 95km two lane road of NH 155/202 (Mokokchung-Tuensang) within June 30, 2019. In a representation addressed to the deputy chief minister and minister in-charge of home and national highway, the TDAPC cautioned that failure to initiate with the stipulated period, the committee would be compelled to take certain course of step. The committee stated that despite several appeal letters, the NH 202/155 was still left abandoned. TDAPC has, therefore, appealed to the minister to take up the up-gradation/widening of two lane road of NH 155/202 at the earliest.
DCCI informs business houses
(L) Passengers at canopy-less platform No.2 and (R) Goods unloaded on the platform. (NP)
Dimapur passengers have to buy tickets originating either from Furkating or Jorhat to travel from Dimapur to Guwahati. This is the case with almost all trains passing through Dimapur. Interestingly, there are around 40 trains passing through Dimapur from Tinsukia and Dibrugarh but only Nagaland Express and BG Express operate between
Dimapur to Guwahati and back. Notwithstanding the halt in development, the railway authorities at NFR Maligaon/ Lumding have also neglected Dimapur passenger by not even considering to allot additional coaches in order to meet the rising demands for seats from Dimapur. The Senior Divisional Commercial manager told Nagaland Post that such a request has to be
raised with the divisional operation manager and divisional railway manager. With monsoon bringing rains there is still no canopy over platform No.2 even after decades, resulting in passengers made to bear the fury of rain, the summer heat and chilly winters. As part of development even the ‘Pay and Use’ toilet constructed outside the Railway station near Netaji
colony is not usable. The wall near the footbridge greets passengers with the awful stench of urine and spit on the wall. When asked when NFR plans to provide the canopy over platform No.2, the Assistant Commercial Manager, said that this would depend on outcome of the case being fought in the court of law.

Workshop on studying Assamese Jamwal revisits Imphal to quell crisis manuscripts held at Tezpur University
Correspondent
IMPHAL, Jun 19: A BJP national leader arrived at Imphal on Wednesday reportedly to find a way to resolve the internal power tussle within the ruling party. National general secretary (org) Ajay Jamwal, who is looking after the organisational affairs of the party in Northeast, arrived at Imphal today, in the forenoon. He was said to be in the state capital to meet party MLAs, including the rebel camp as well as leaders of BJP’s partners like NPP, NPF and others separately to take stock of the political crisis in the state. A h i g h ly r e l i a b l e source said that he will also meet with Congress MLAs who had defected to BJP and supporting the coalition government currently one by one. Mention may be made that some ministers and MLAs of BJP, who recently returned from New Delhi said national leaders of the party will be in Imphal to resolve the crisis within the party arising out of demand for leadership change.

Refusing existence of revolt within the party, minister Th Bishwajti who was targeted by the chief minister by removing two key portfolios –power and works – from him had even criticised the media for creating crisis within the party. He had even said that there was no dissidence group among the MLAs. However, at the same time, he had said Central leaders are coming to the state to resolve the crisis.

In a joint operation carried out by Barpathar and Ghiladhari police stations, the 19 persons were rescued from Ghiladhari village on Tuesday night, the officer said.

Sangma said the allparty meeting also discussed agendas regarding the 75th year celebration of India's Independence and 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, besides the agenda pertaining to the inspirational districts and how to improve them.

Reporters at the Airport insisted Jamwal to give a comment on the prevailing crisis within the BJP, however, he stepped into the vehicle and without saying a word left the place along with some state leaders who also waited with him there. Jamwal had earlier visited the state along with BJP general secretary (adm) NE-charge Ram Madhav after as many as 17 MLAs of the party and petitioned Prime Minister and BJP national president to replace N Biren Singh as chief minister.

well and then left Imphal to consult with national party leaders. It was after the two national leaders left Imphal after taking stock of the political situation that chief minister had divested two key portfolios- power and works – from Th Bishwajit who is said to be the leader of the MLAs revolting against chief minister N Biren Singh. The chief minister had removed the charge of finance department from the deputy chief minister Y Joykumar of NPP, one of the major partners of the BJP in the coalition government. While removing the portfolios, the chief minister blamed them of overdraft being facing by the state. He even blamed excessive withdrawals by power and works departments behind the financial crisis of the state that led to imposition of ban on all payments from Manipur government’s accounts. Chief minister N Biren Singh who also camped in New Delhi returned to Imphal on Wednesday afternoon. He was in the national capital from June 14 in the wake of revolt against his leadership and

Giving no chance to the reporters, the chief minister went straight to his official bungalow after taking his vehicle through the other exit gate of the airport instead of taking the main exit gate where the reporters were waiting for him. The chief minister usually takes the main exit gate of the airport, but this time he took the other exit gate meant for the VVIPs and VIPs to avoid the media. Reporters reportedly observed something fishy in the attitude of chief minister on Wednesday.

‘Would’ve attended all-party meet if it was about EVMs’
LU C K N OW, J U N 1 9 (PTI): BSP chief Mayawati Wednesday said holding simultaneous national and state elections “appears to be an undemocratic and unconstitutional” idea for a vast country like India as she declined to attend an all-party meeting called by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue. She said that elections in any democracy can never be a problem “nor elections should be weighed from the point of view of expenditure and extravagance”. ‘One nation, one election’ is not an issue before the country, she said. “Elections through ballot papers are actually the national issue and our party will continue its struggle for it.” The BSP president said it was a new drama of the BJP to divert attention from the concerns over “attempts to hijack” democracy through alleged irregularities in the working of electronic voting machine (EVMs). “Even the idea of one nation, one election for the world’s biggest democracy like India, prima facie, appears to be undemocratic and unconstitutional,” she said in a party release issued here, asking the BJP to desist from works and mentality that harm constitution and democracy. Mayawati said she would have attended
Mayawati (File)
the all-party meeting called by the prime minister if it was to address a “national concern” over EVMs. She described the idea of simultaneous Lok Sabha and assembly polls as a ploy to divert attention from issues like poverty. Mayawati’s comments come on the day an all-party meeting has been convened by Modi to discuss several issues, including the idea of “one nation, one election”, celebration of 150 years of Mahatma Gandhi’s birth anniversary this year and 75 years of Independence in 2022. The BSP chief alleged that the people’s faith in the electronic voting machines (EVMs) had dwindled to a “worrisome level”. “The stubbor nness of conducting elections through electronic voting machines instead of ballot paper is the real threat to the democracy and Constitution of the country. “The ‘one nation, one
election’ is in fact an attempt to divert the attention from burning national issues such as poverty, inflation, unemployment and increase in violence, and is simply an illusion.” The “one nation, one election”, a part of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Lok Sabha election manifesto, has made the Opposition wary of the prospects. In August last year, the Law Commission had recommended holding simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha and state assemblies to save public money. In its draft recommendations, the commission had said simultaneous polls, with an exception of Jammu and Kashmir, would help the government of the day focus on “developmental activities rather than electioneering”. It, however, cautioned that holding simultaneous elections was not possible within the existing framework of the Constitution. After Modi addressed a NITI Aayog meeting last week, an official release said, “The Prime Minister called for widespread debate and consultations on simultaneous elections for Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabhas, keeping in view various aspects such as the resulting financial savings and consequent better utilisation of resources.”

K. Chandrashekar Rao (File)
HYDERABAD, JUN 19 (IANS): Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao on Tuesday said that Union Minister of State for Home G. Kishan Reddy has become a joke by stating that Hyderabad is a “safe zone for terrorists”. “People are laughing at him. He has become a joke,” Rao said at a news conference on Tuesday night. KCR, as Rao is popularly known, said there was not a single incident of communal violence in Telangana during last five years and the Union Home Ministry also went on record to state that the crime rate in the state had come down. “There was no terrorist attack. We are an active government. This is a neat and clean state. In fact there is no other state like this in India,” he said. Kishan Reddy, who is a member of Parliament from Secunderabad, had said after taking oath as the Minister of State on May 30 that Hyderabad had become
safe zone for terrorists as any terror incident in the country would have a link to the city. KCR said since the Andhra Pradesh government had handed back the buildings at the secretariat to Telangana, a new secretariat complex would be built at the existing premises. He said the foundation stone for the new secretariat building will be laid on June 27. The complex with 5-6 lakh square feet space will be built at a cost of Rs 400 crore. The Chief Minister also announced that the existing Assembly building will be preserved as heritage structure and a new legislature complex comprising legislative Assembly and legislative Council will be built at Yerrum Manzil at a cost of Rs 100 crore. He said Telangana and Andhra Pradesh governments had agreed to hold talks to solve all outstanding issues with regard to distribution of waters of Godavari and Krishna rivers.
Rahul Gandhi being greeted by the party workers and supporters on his 49th birthday, Wednesday. (PTI)
NEW DELHI, JUN 19 (PTI): Congress President Rahul Gandhi turned 49 on Wednesday and Prime Minister Narendra Modi was one of the first political leaders to greet him on his birthday. In his response, Gandhi thanked Modi and said he appreciated the prime minister’s greetings. A host of Congress leaders and workers also wished Gandhi, as he met many of them at the party headquarters here on Akbar Road. Some leaders also wished Gandhi in Parliament. Modi took to Twitter to convey his birthday wishes to Gandhi. “Best wishes to Shri Rahul Gandhi on his birthday. May he be blessed with good health and a long life,” he tweeted. Gandhi replied on Twitter, saying, “Thank you for your greetings narendramodi ji. I appreciate
them.” The two leaders were locked in a bitter war of words in the run-up to the Lok Sabha polls, in which the BJP-led NDA returned to power with a massive majority. Gandhi earlier met his mother and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi at her residence and later arrived at around 10 AM at the Congress headquarters where party leaders and workers gathered in large numbers to wish him. Gandhi received flowers from his partymen and offered them sweets. Among those who wished him at the AICC office were former prime minister Manmohan Singh, his sister and Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad. “Thank you all for your
best wishes and greetings on my birthday. I’m overwhelmed and grateful for your love and affection,” he later tweeted and posted some pictures on the microblogging site of him meeting the party leaders and workers. Calling Gandhi his “good friend”, DMK chief M K Stalin took to Twitter to extend his birthday wishes. Stalin also shared a photo of him shaking hands with Gandhi at a meeting in the past. “I wish my good friend @RahulGandhi a very happy birthday. I wish you many more years of public service. #HappyBirthdayRahulGandhi,” the DMK chief tweeted. The DMK and the Congress joined hands in February this year to contest the Lok Sabha elections in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry as allies. Stalin had even proposed Gandhi’s name as the Opposition’s Prime Ministerial candidate ahead of the polls, but the idea did not cut much ice with Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee and Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav. Gandhi, who was in a joyous mood, shared some light moments with the workers and media persons at the party headquarters. He also offered sweets to those wishing him on his birthday.
Acute Encephalitis Syndrome toll climbs to 115 in Bihar SC to hear PIL on AES outbreak on Monday
The Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to hear a PIL seeking direction to the Centre to send a team of medical professionals to review and assist in preventing the outbreak of acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur district. AES has already claimed lives of nearly 128
children in the district. Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh was earlier the epicentre of the disease. A vacation bench of the apex court listed the matter for a hearing on Monday. The plea filed by two advocates, Manohar Pratap and Sanpreet Singh Ajmani, contended that the state and Central governments should work in tandem to immediately arrange 500 ICU (intensive care units) with required
medical professionals to deal with the situation. The petition said that the critical situation had arrived due to lackadaisical approach of government authorities, as they had ignored children’s deaths every year. Referring to the recent strike by doctors, the plea said that it co-incidentally took place with the outbreak of the disease, thus affecting the care of patients admitted in government hospitals.

Prahlad Patel, the BJP MP from Damoh, was recently inducted in the Union cabinet as the Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Tourism. Monu Patel (27), who is at large, is the son of Prahlad Patel’s younger brother Jalam Singh Patel, a former Madhya Pradesh minister and sitting BJP MLA from Narsinghpur.
in tackling the outbreak. Anguished by the deaths, a Muzaffarpur resident has filed a petition at a local court against Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, his deputy Sushil Modi, Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, Minister of State Ashwini Choubey and state Health Minister Mangal Pandey. The resident, Mohd Nasim, accused them of negligence, which has resulted in the high number of casualties. The chief judicial magistrate court has posted the matter for hearing next Tuesday. Nitish Kumar had on Tuesday visited the SKMCH hospital, where he faced protests by angry people over the deaths.

Centralisation of polity
H
olding simultaneous polls for Lok Sabha, state assemblies and panchayats or One Nation One Poll(ONOP) has been on the agenda of prime minister Narendra Modi and his BJP party. In the previous 16th Lok Sabha, the BJP had 282 and with the NDA the coalition government had 334 MPs. After another huge landslide in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, where Modi led his party to win 302 seats on its own and the tally with NDA shooting to a mammoth 353, the agenda for ONOP got off soon after the 17th Lok Sabha was constituted. The Modi government made a strong bid to push it through with a meeting with chiefs of all political parties. This concept calls for a single election for state legislatives, Lok Sabha and Panchayats in a span of five years. It is supposed to bring a major reform in the electoral system and functioning of one of the largest democracies of the world. Simultaneous polls were held in 1952, 1957 and 1962. However the cycle was broken after the fourth Lok Sabha ended prematurely. Premature dissolutions and extensions of Lok Sabha and various state assemblies in the past 40 years have ended the cycle of simultaneous elections. There are two sides of the coin on ONOP- the plus and minus. It may be noted that owing to the complex and diverse political nature of India, this concept poses a major challenge for adopting the system of simultaneous elections. ONOP would reduce government election expenditure, save wasted time on elections and thus provide more time for productivity. Parties will also be under scrutiny and discouraged from sourcing illegal money for expenditure. It will also avoid regularity in deployment of security personnel on poll duties that seem to be held almost every year. The minus points are that, apart from logistical considerations, ONOP cannot be a serious reason for a major change to the basic structure of the Indian polity. The Indian constitution calls India a ‘Union of states’ and the concept of federalism has divided legislative, executive and judiciary powers between the State and the Centre under Part XI. The constitution defines legislative powers separately between the Centre and the State, with three different lists- the state list, the union list and the concurrent list. Both levels of governments have their own jurisdiction to hold power, to make laws and execute them. The major problem, to put it more simply, “one nation, one election” is anti-democratic. ONOP is a thinly veiled attempt to replace the present form of multi-party elections into a presidential form of election. Otherwise, why should the election calendar in any given state be synchronized with that of the Centre? Doing so would rob a state of one of the essential elements of Westminster democracy: A government may choose to dissolve itself, or a government may fall if its loses its majority, and then the governor, acting on behalf of the president of the republic, will be obliged either to ask another combine to form a government, or must perforce call fresh elections. When GST(one nation , one tax) was being implemented by the UPA, Modi was the most vociferous opponent. ONOP is part of the larger agenda of one nation one law or the Uniform Civil Code but with a brute majority, Modi could just carry the day.
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).

T
he Nagas have indifferently been trying to go forward on a back gear in our dealings with the IndoNaga dialogue. We have only bickered amongst ourselves through these past 73 years of degraded ‘half-life’ existence. We continue to hypocritically invoke the name of Christ as Christians when it suits us even as we consort with the dark forces each day by way of our routine questionable actions. The scourge of the gun continue to afflict our entire populace with a State Government sitting idly by while its citizens miserably traffic each day in this highly compromised system of governance not merely complicit but fearful of the merchants of death who run a more volatile shadow Governments. How can we move forward with such a diversely out of focus divided house... both in the Overground and Underground setup...driven solely by power hungry greed with despicable depravity? Instead of zoning our complete collective attention on our identified common adversary, Nagas have been extremely busy with the preoccupation of cannibalising one another from within. Imagine: It is 2019...73 years of ignominy... sans dignity, honour or self respect! We ought to have been talking about anything and everything else, rather than continuously reverting to this cancerous rot within our vitals which should have long been operated and removed through sustained public opinion and pressure... to which I may add that FNR and ACAUT had done their fair share of opening up the minds of our people. For those still nursing a healthy conscience within the community of Tribes with a modicum of commitment to the ideals of real peace...we
Getting our house in order
need to rededicate our joint effort to help our people to focus on one matter and one matter alone: to get our house in order to collectively infuse a viable approach to end this 73 year old uncertain bondage. While honestly honouring and respecting our National Workers for keeping the fire of freedom burning, it is time that they too unselfishly think ‘out of the box’ and acknowledge that the issue of self-determination is not their exclusive preserve to dictate. It belongs to our foresighted fellow Nagas generation who willed it through a memorandum to the Simon Commission and reinforced it through 1951 Plebiscite as a starter to this National Movement that the present generation National Workers are now steering...but the true strength of our people has been negatively tapped for monitory exploitation rather than democratically harnessing this collective strength to mobilise a mass political momentum behind this movement. Such a momentum can only be generated by exemplary visionary action and sacrifice...starting with our NNPGs foregoing their respective egos and greed and be willing to set up a concrete unshakable United House like the one we had when it all began. Our National Workers must sensitively realize and acknowledge that their very existence and their service is inextricably bonded to the people they represent... most of whom they’ll never meet or ever know: but that they too have faces, families, hopes and dreams and their own stories of struggle in their lives just like each National Worker has. The bottomline of a thought that our National Workers must also revisit is this: that ‘YOU and I’ are no strangers. We are
all “Fellow Nagas” making excruciating sacrifices in our own respective ways for a common cause. Should this not command a modicum decent respect from your end too rather than continue this cult of heartless threat and extortion? By virtue of this mutual bond...we the common Naga people also deserve your honest commitment, your honest sacrifice and your honest service. Therefore, rather than continue perpetuating unscrupulous taxation (which has only spawned mass resentment almost to a crescendo of implosion), reposing confidence in the stakeholders instead by way of transparently and honestly sharing the essence of the Agreement with the GoI thus far enacted...would be a worthy beginning to regain the trust deficit for the greater good of all. No rational human being on earth will ever endorse an agreement that one has absolutely no knowledge of that concerns one’s own destiny...except our unscrupulous political leaders. This can only happen in Nagaland! Having said this, let us start our thought process from our traditional social structure. We have our Village Chieftains (GBs) along with their Village Councils, who still administer the day to day affairs of their village like they did in the traditional past. Technically speaking, each Tribe has their respective Hohos duly empowered through this infrastructure; followed by an Apex Tribal Hoho known as Naga Hoho to which all the Tribes of Nagaland were affiliated. Given visionary leadership, this was the most viable traditional platform through which Nagas could have projected their collective opinion and concerns on any given subject
under the sun. However, over the years, this collective forum of the Nagas of Nagaland was unceremoniously overrun by others beyond our immediate boundary due to short-sightedness on our part and thereby derailed the very purpose for its creation. The Nagas of Nagaland are voiceless as of now...resulting in the sprouting of a whole lot of fragmented NGOs seemingly singing a similar song in different voices that no one seriously listens or pays attention to. It is imperative that NAGA HOHO must be retrieved by the Nagas of Nagaland... and the present defunct Naga Haha be re-christened as PAN NAGA HOHO/FEDERATION. As the backbone of the Naga society therefore our Village Chieftains (GBs) of each Tribe should take the lead and direct their respective Hohos to salvage and restore the identity and dignity of the Nagas of Nagaland as any honourable people should...if their respective Tribal Hohos are unable to take this initiative on their own. We still can revive it. Through this Nagas Hoho forum Nagas can then generate a sustained mass movement behind our united NNPGs; remember that the State of Telengana was created through sustained democratic mass agitation. It is the only kind of language GoI understands and respects. Just requesting the GoI to speed up the process no longer appears viable. Nagas need to let GoI practically see the seriousness of our collective intent that the days of playing the Nagas like a worthless football is done. The Government of Nagaland too should get its act together and come forward as a true facilitator by picking up the loose ends of the brilliant effort carried out by FNR. Without taking sides, the
My story - Our journey One When they shot my brothers I wiped my tears and vowed revenge I took them down one by one I was pleased I let the fire that stoked when they call me ‘brave’ burn within. It made me proud till I spent restless nights, remembering the names and faces. I moved places but the memories surfaced Some nights I woke up to dreams of screams In the morning my mother’s calmness would sweep my thoughts But when the night set the fears would return I was possessed! I disclosed my fears to the woman who bore our children and shared my journey, but not my dreams. She told me about Nebuchadnezzar The mighty king whose sanity was restored when he looked upto heaven I ran to the quiet of the room to find the great king of Babylon Oh he had all the power and glory the world could offer He had Pride! It took him down. I writhed in pain. Heaviness choked my heart, my life my freedom to peace. I counted the years I have lived Oh the few years I might have in hand I did not possess the time or the design I only had pride that walled my heart pretending to be bravery I counted the deaths one by one to realize that the enemies were not them but within me I ripped myself apart to face my great nemesis My pride! I knelt in shame I hungered for forgiveness I wept And I remembered He wept too In the dawn, my mother’s face appeared like the morning glory I found my way to seek forgiveness And surrender my pride ‘Neath the cross That night the dreams returned again But this time, We set the albatross around our necks free. I had entered Reconciliation Two I found my peace but the war had not ended It birthed widows and orphans I sought counsel from the elders and the leaders; the learned and the sacred. I knocked on every door but love, like life, was short everywhere. I was restless again till I met the widow at a funeral I remember her man pled for his life but I closed my eyes and shot him The dirge was long and heavy My anxiousness heavier I ran through my memories to latch onto my mother’s words It gave me courage. We shook hands like it could thaw unforgiving hearts I asked forgiveness. She said she nursed her wounds,
but never held anger. Her pain was like a long walk in the desert but it was in the matrix of God’s gracious plans Like how it was for Joseph, son of Jacob. I returned home to the quiet of the room to find Joseph His story of forgiveness that healed his brothers and restored light and dignity to them His wretched brothers! They tried to kill him but sold him to slavery. He had the chance to destroy them but he cried instead, in the joy of reunion That night I slept thanking life for the gift of stories The different mystery and philosophy it opens to everyone That night I walked like Joseph to a wider path of reconciliation Three The war continued like the incessant rain But the battlefield was changing. The actors too. The walls got higher, and the hearts, colder ‘We are for political and historical rights’ they all said But raged lives and peace The war spread to civil space and sense Peace got more violent everyday The youths lay wasted like the cadres The church got bigger and the souls smaller Women were asking for rights and becoming more patriarchal Men grew wealthier and shallower In the nights my dreams were of pitch black I kept running in the wilderness My prayers became laments They were long and bitter The land was mourning Injustice grew deeper and showed its scars in splits: Of movements, churches, homes, tribes, gender, civil societies, politics. We had not found the centre to anchor. If we are to emancipate our people We must unchain our women and widows Free the youths from condemnation, even if they fall Give new hope to our men when they fail Teach our children the colour of truth and justice first Not the scars of violence and tribe Insist our church to embrace lost souls, not tithes And measure our leaders by the size of the heart, not wealth When freedom is restored Like dignity and justice in the lives of the people There will be peals of thunder that writes Let my people go! That will be the last walk of reconciliation! Epilogue: Reconciliation is a long road. It is a political process. It is a spiritual churning. It is both a personal and a collective journey. My journey to reconciliation has been a lonely one. Before my days end I must pass on my baton of struggles and stories to our women, the widow and her co-travelers in mourning They hold the key to transform rigidity into love!

Joint Legislative Committee could play a central role for instance, to get our NNPGs to UNITE...without which the complexity of our problems will continue to multiply. The fact that GoI is sitting at the negotiation tables with both NSCN (IM) and the NNPG Working Group separately is generally seen with unnerving scepticism as to who will finally sign the mother of all Agreements. Even if it is jointly signed, the contentious question of ‘who took the head’ will still linger in the minds of the tradition bound Nagas with all the traditional ramifications in a complicated aftermath. In such a given scenario the Joint Legislative Committee could perhaps play a crucial role in helping the GoI to understand that such uncomfortable traditional matter should not be written off as “trifle” and should first be ironed out prior to the signing of such a momentous Agreement. Getting our NNPGs on board the same ship before the final event must therefore be given utmost priority to ease the hands of the negotiators on both sides. Setting up an inactive Joint Legislative Committee with unconcerned, indifferent, visionless members is counterproductive. A concerted proactive initiative on their part would be a welcome change. In as far as our NNPGs are concerned...the fundamental truth is that Nagas are not searching for MULTICOLOURED SOVEREIGNTY of different shapes or sizes...but ONE. Their ego driven fragmented Factions with a strong underlining intent of wanting to independently continue taxing the people dry in the name of Sovereignty is a foregone conclusion thoroughly understood by all...even by those
with a pea brain. This simply undermines their efforts and the real sacrifices of the generation gone by. In a scenario such as this, NSCM (M) as the dominant force must make a very special effort to reconsider its principle of forgiveness...for the greater good of all the Nagas. A true genuine Christian forgives must usher in a healthy respect for one other as equals in its wake. That is the fundamental foundry on which a common House can be restructured with due acknowledgement and respect for one another. Nagas have suffered protracted, undeserved punishment beyond tolerance for several decades...not only in the hands of Indian Army but even more routinely so in the hands of our own ‘National Workers’. This must end. Sanity must prevail at all cost if Nagas want to stride forward from this ‘half-life’ syndrome to a full-fledged unfettered existence where the rule of law infuses complete transparency and accountability in governance and a fair playing ground for all. It is imperative that we wake up from our indifferent slumber so that whatever be the final outcome, our children and our children’s children may find a fair, peaceful and uncontaminated environment to flourish and bloom in accordance to their talents and dreams. I do sincerely believe that the Nagas are second to none...that our posterity can confidently compete with anyone around the globe one day...provided we give them this fighting chance now by getting our house in order. We, the present generation of elders, owe them that much in the least. Khekiye K. Sema IAS (Rtd); 3rd Mile Thilixu Village; Dimapur
10th Anniversary of the Covenant of Reconciliation on 13 June 2019
W
e congratulate all those whose visionary efforts contributed to the Covenant of Reconciliation. We acknowledge the courage and sincerity of all who signed on 13 June 2009, and who have striven to honour and maintain their commitment to the Covenant since that time. Naga people and independent monitors have observed the remarkable reduction in violent attacks and deaths of Naga people at the hands of other Nagas since 2009. We have heard of the very positive change in atmosphere amongst Naga communities which followed this historic event, and which has been maintained over the past decade. It has been a privilege for us to walk alongside the Forum for Naga Reconciliation and the Naga people during this time and we share their distress when acts of violence threaten the path to peace. The FNR was formed in response to a prophetic call for reconciliation amongst all Nagas, and has itself played a prophetic role since its formation. Its members have been constant and unswerving in pursuit of nonviolence and reconciliation during these years. We know that these efforts are grounded in their shared Christian faith and commitment to do God’s work of healing with love in their hearts. The now expanded FNR is, since January 2018, taking the ‘Walking the Naga Day’ to all Nagas, including those in remote villages. They aim to reach and listen to all Nagas, men and women of all ages, from different districts and tribes, in pursuit of greater understanding and reconciliation. We extend our best wishes and prayers to all the negotiating parties. Each and every side has so much to gain from a mutually agreed settlement. We encourage and appeal to all the Naga people to embrace the path of reconciliation and nonviolence. “I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will bless them and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary among them forevermore.” Ezekiel Ch. 37, v 26.

Cong disbands K’taka unit; spares Gundu Rao, Khandre NEW DELHI/BENGALURU, JUN 19 (IANS): A day after the Congress suspended its Bengaluru MLA R. Roshan Baig, the party on Wednesday dissolved the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC), sparing its state unit President Dinesh Gundu Rao and Working President Easwar B. Khandre. “The AICC has decided to dissolve the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC). Its president (Rao) and working president (Khandre) remain unchanged,” said All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary K.C. Venugopal in a statement in New Delhi. Venugopal is also the in-charge of the party’s state unit affairs. The KPCC has 290 office-bearers, including former Central and state ministers, members of Parliament and the state legislature and presidents of its district committees. “The KPCC has been dissolved for restructuring in the aftermath of the party’s poor performance in the recent Lok Sabha elections in which it was routed, winning only one seat,” party spokesman Ravi Gowda told IANS in

Bengaluru. As part of the pre-poll alliance with its coalition ally Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) on seat-sharing and to field joint candidates, the Congress contested from 21 of the 28 parliamentary seats in the state and managed to retain Bangalore Rural. Though the JD-S contested the remaining 7 seats, it also won only one seat to retain Hassan. In contrast, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won 25 of the 27 seats it contested, which is the highest ever for it in the state. Independent candidate, Sumalatha Ambareesh, backed by the BJP, wrested the Mandya seat from the JD-S. Sumalatha is a multi-lingual south Indian film actress and widow of former Congress state Min-
ister M.H. Ambareesh. The dissolution of the KPCC comes after Baig was suspended for anti-party activities on Tuesday. Baig, 67, is an eighttime MLA from the Shivajinagar assembly segment in Bengaluru’s city centre. Upset by Baig’s public criticism of the party’s state leadership, KPCC served notice to him in May, seeking explanation for his attack on Venugopal, Congress Legislative Party (CLP) leader Siddaramaiah and Rao for the rout in the Lok Sabha elections. Baig has also been in the news of late for the wrong reasons, including his alleged involvement in a multi-crore Ponzi scheme operated by jewellery trader Mohammed Mansoor Khan, who fled India on June 8.
Nine-month-old raped; killed in Telangana town Hyderabad, Jun 19 (IANS): In a beastly incident, a youth raped and killed a nine- month old baby in Telangana’s Hanmakonda town, triggering massive protests by people who demanded that the guilty be hanged publicly. The incident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday in the town in Warangal Urban district, about 200 km from Hyderabad. Police said the accused abducted the child sleeping with her parents on the terrace of her house in Kumarpalli area of the town. When the couple did not find the child on the bed, they raised an alarm. Some people in a nearby lane found a youth running away after dumping the child on the ground. They chased, caught hold of the accused, identified as 28-year-old Praveen, and handed him over to police.
Deol’s poll expenses ‘crossed’ Rs 70 lakh limit CHANDIGARH, JUN 19 (PTI): Film actor and Gurdaspur MP Sunny Deol has been asked to explain his poll expenditure during the recent Lok Sabha elections after it was found to have crossed the statutory limit of Rs 70 lakh, an official said Wednesday. The notice to Deol to “reconcile” his poll expenditure account was issued by Gurdaspur District Election Officer-cum-Deputy Commissioner Vipul Ujjwal. “His poll expenditure was found to be more than Rs 70 lakh limit,” said Ujjwal. Deol was elected MP from Gurdaspur Lok Sabha seat. He defeated Congress nominee Sunil Jakhar with a margin of 82,459 votes. Though Ujjwal refused to comment on the election expenditure figure, official sources said as per preliminary calculations, Deol’s poll expenditure was found

to be Rs 86 lakh. Ujjwal said the amount of Deol’s poll expenditure was not a “final” figure. “We have issued a notice to him (Deol) for reconciliation of accounts and the final figure of the poll expenditure will be known only after the reconciliation and settlement of the accounts,” he said. “It is too early to comment on the overspending
right now,” added Ujjwal. For Lok Sabha candidates, the statutory poll expenditure limit has been fixed at Rs 70 lakh. Deol’s poll expenditure was found to be in excess of the limit among all other candidates in the Gurdaspur Lok Sabha constituency, officials said. The reconciliation of accounts is likely to continue till June 22 and 23.
Ujjwal further said after the elections, every candidate was issued notice for the reconciliation of their accounts. “It is a normal statutory notice,” he added. Earlier on May 15, the Election Commission had issued directions for adding Rs 1.74 lakh to Deol’s poll expenditure after he failed to respond to its query about a Facebook page being run in his support. The order had come on a complaint by the Punjab Congress, which claimed the Facebook page, ‘Fans of Sunny Deol’, was being run without any prior permission of the poll watchdog. The BJP had fielded 59-year-old Deol from Gurdaspur Lok Sabha seat in 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Earlier, late actor Vinod Khanna had represented Gurdaspur constituency four times — in 1998, 1999, 2004 and 2014.

journey of a nation, when the legislative and executive wings get swept away from their duties and goals under the Constitution by waves of populism, it is for the Judiciary to rise and stand up to the populist forces and protect the Constitutional ethos from being desecrated by the populists. To some critics and naysayers, this situation presents a case for hoisting the classical counter narrative – Unelected Judges, acting under the Constitutional mandate, get to overturn the acts of the elected majority.
This means that passengers will have to contend with entrain or detraining from the canopyless platform. This issue was also highlighted in September 2018. A railway official had informed that the original plan was for laying track number three (where goods trains are generally stationed) to be dispensed with so that platform number two could be widened to meet the requirement of having a roof built over the entire stretch of platform number two.
constraints , goods are being unloaded at platform No.2 which severely reduces passage for both incoming and outgoing passengers. It was learnt then that the current width of the platform number two is 4.6 meters. A minimum of 6 meters width is required for a roof to be built over it and the railway authorities have planned to extend it to 9.2 meters. In congruence with the plan of widening platform number 2, a new track number 6 has also been laid exclusively for goods
overgrown vegetation as the disputed railway bazaar land and a building fall on the path of line/track number 6 leading towards Diphu (Lower Assam). Works that had initially started were brought to a grinding halt since encroachment had severely limited the space. The expansion plan was for platform number 1 and 2 to be exclusively used for passenger trains while track number 6 at the far end (toward Hong Kong market area) was to be exclusively for goods trains.

New Delhi, Jun 19 (IANS): Industry body Assocham has advocated tax measures to benefit senior citizens in the Union Budget, to be presented on July 5 by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham) in its budget memorandum has suggested increase in minimum tax exemption limit for senior citizens (above 60 years) to Rs 7.5 lakh from Rs 3 lakh and no tax for super senior citizens (80 years plus) on income up to Rs 12.5 lakh. It said many senior citizens couldn’t get benefit of any robust social security or pension fund investments as they did not exist during their working life and were largely dependent on interest income from fixed deposits. Drastic decline in the rate of interest in past one year had left senior citizens in financial difficulty, it said and added, the actual inflation that was much higher than headline inflation had added to their misery.

paper, Subramanian, who stepped down last year, said India’s economic growth rate has been overestimated by around 2.5 percentage points between 2011-12 and 2016-17 due to a change in methodology for calculating GDP. Subramanian’s paper titled ‘India’s GDP Misestimation: Likelihood, Magnitudes, Mechanisms, and Implications’, published at Harvard University, also comes at a time when concerns have been raised in various quarters about the
official economic growth numbers.Observing that Chief Economic Adviser (CEA) Subramanian seems to have made a “hurried attempt to draw conclusions” about India’s complex economy and its evolution, the paper said he has used 17 high frequency indicators, but ignores the representation of ‘services sector (60 per cent in GDP) and ‘agriculture sector’ (18 per cent of GDP) in the analysis. The paper notes that Subramanian used 17 indicators to express his skepticism about the growth rates after 2011-12. Majority of the 17 indicators have been taken directly from the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE), a private agency that is not a primary source of information but collects it from different sources, it said.
Nitin Gadkari is likely to continue in the panel when it is reconstituted. The government last year invited bids to sell 76 per cent stake in Air India, along with transfer of management control. However, it did not attract any bidder. Following that transaction advisor EY prepared a report citing probable reasons that led to failure of the sale process. The reasons cited include 24 per cent government stake and corresponding rights, high debt, volatile crude oil prices, fluctuations in exchange rate, changes in macro environment, profitability track record of bidders and restriction on bidding by individuals. An official said that the EY report was discussed at the AISAM meeting in June last year following which it was decided that the Air India sale should be deferred.

New Delhi, Jun 19 (PTI): The Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (EAC-PM) on Wednesday rejected the claims of former CEA Arvind Subramanian regarding over-estimation of GDP growth after 2011, saying his analysis ignores data on services and agriculture and shows blind trust in a private firm CMIE. In a paper released by EAC-PM, India’s GDP estimation methodology stands at par with its global standing as a major and responsible economy. Primary contributors of the paper are economists Bibek Debroy, Rathin Roy, Surjit Bhalla, Charan Singh, Arvind Virmani. Last week, the advisory body had said it would issue a point-to-point rebuttal of the Subramanian’s research paper. In a research
New Delhi, Jun 19 (PTI): The Finance Ministry is preparing a fresh proposal for sale of Air India, incorporating issues like crude oil prices and exchange rate volatility, flagged by EY last year on possible reasons of the government failing to attract bidders for the national carrier. The ministry’s proposal, to be placed before Air India Specific Alternative Mechanism (AISAM), will also include option of selling either 100 per cent or 76 per cent government stake in Air India. The AISAM, which is basically a Group of Ministers, have to be reconstituted as Arun Jaitley and Suresh Prabhu are no longer ministers in the new government. They will be replaced by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri. Transport Minister

Tripoli, Jun 19 (IANS/ AKI): Scores of civilians are among at least 691 people killed and 4,012 injured in the battle for control of Tripoli since eastern warlord Khalifa Haftar began an assault on the Libyan capital in early April, according to the United Nations. “The toll of the armed conflict in Libya’s capital is 691 dead, including 41 civilians, and 4,012 injured, including 135 civilians,” the UN World Health Organisation said in a tweet. The warfare in Tripoli between Haftar’s self-styled Libyan National Army and militias loyal to the UNbacked government which began on April 5 has including shelling and air strikes as well as fire fights. Italy has been at the forefront of international diplomatic efforts that have so far failed to obtain a ceasefire in its chaos-stricken former colony.
Colombo, Jun 19 (PTI): Sri Lanka’s first satellite ‘Ravana-1’, designed and developed by two local engineers, was successfully launched into orbit this week from the International Space Station (ISS) along with two other BIRDS 3 satellites from Japan and Nepal. Raavana 1, the cube satellite measuring 11.3 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm, and weighing around 1.05 kg, was launched into orbit at 3:45 pm (Sri Lanka time) on Monday, the Colombo Page reported. The satellite was designed and developed by two Sri Lankan engineers - Tharindu Dayaratne and Dulani Chamika - studying space engineering at Japan’s Kyushu Institute of Technology.
Raavana-1 was deployed to the 400-km of orbit at an inclination of 51.6 degrees using the JAXA (Japanese Aerospace and Exploration Agency) owned Kibo experiment module, the paper said. The satellite was officially handed over to the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency on February 18 and was sent to the ISS on April 17, through the assistance of Cygnus-1 spacecraft from the US. Raavana-1 is expected to fulfil five missions including the capturing of pictures of Sri Lanka and surrounding regions, active attitude stabilization which ensures that satellite’s attitude is stable under the influence of external talks.
London, Jun 19 (AFP): British leadership favourite Boris Johnson won the endorsement of a key Brexitbacking rival on Wednesday despite accusations he was softening his rhetoric on leaving the EU. Ahead of another round of voting in parliament, former Brexit secretary Dominic Raab said Johnson was the “only candidate” to take Britain out of the European Union as planned on October 31. On Tuesday Raab was eliminated from the contest to replace Theresa May as the leader of the ruling Conservative party and prime minister, leaving five candidates left. One of them will be eliminated in another ballot of Conservative MPs later Wednesday, before further votes on Thursday to whittle the field down to a final pair. Former foreign minister Johnson, a one-time mayor of London, is leading the pack after securing the support of 126 of 313 Tory MPs in Tuesday’s ballot. A figurehead of the 2016 referendum campaign
for Brexit, he insists there must be no more delays to Britain’s EU exit, after May postponed it twice. During a television debate on Tuesday evening, Johnson said further delay would cause a “catastrophic loss of confidence in politics”. But he declined to guarantee this would happen -- and one of his main rivals, Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, suggested afterwards that his position was not clear. “I am not entirely sure what he believes on this, having listened to him last night,” Hunt told BBC radio. Hunt came second in
More than 70 mn forcibly ‘Credible proof to link MBS to Khashoggi killing’ displaced worldwide: UNHCR G e n e va , J u n 1 9 (IANS): The number of people fleeing violence, persecution and conflict in 2018 has exceeded 70 million globally - the highest number in the UN refugee agency’s almost 70 years of operations. The UNHCR’s annual Global Trends report released on Wednesday shows that almost 70.8 million people are now forcibly displaced. This is double the level recorded 20 years ago and 2.3 million people more than the previous year. The report said that the figure of 70.8 million is conservative, in particular, as the crisis in Venezuela is still only partly reflected in this number. In all, some 4 million Venezuelans have left their country, according to data from the governments receiving them, making this among the world’s biggest recent displacement crisis.
Although the majority need international refugee protection, as of today, only around half a million have taken the step of formally applying for asylum. “What we are seeing in these figures is further confirmation of a longerterm rising trend in the number of people needing safety from war, conflict and persecution,” said UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi. “While language around refugees and migrants is often divisive, we are also witnessing an outpouring of generosity and solidarity, especially by communities who are themselves hosting large numbers of refugees. Within the 70.8 million figure in the Global Trends report, there are three main groups. The first is refugees or people forced to flee their country because of conflict, war or persecution. In 2018, the

number of refugees reached 25.9 million worldwide, 500,000 more than in 2017. Included in this total are 5.5 million Palestine refugees. The second group is 3.5 million asylum seekers. These are people outside their country of birth who are under international protection, but are yet to be granted refugee status. Thirdly, there are internally displaced persons, or IDPs. These people are displaced within their country and amount to 41.3 million globally. More than two thirds of all refugees worldwide came from Syria, Afghanistan, South Sudan, Myanmar and Somalia. Syria had a considerably higher number than any other country with 6.7 million, followed by Afghanistan with 2.7 million.
Geneva, Jun 19 (IANS): There is credible evidence that Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and other high-level officials are individually liable for the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a UN special rapporteur said in a report on Wednesday.

Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist and a critic of the Saudi Crown Prince, was killed and reportedly dismembered in October 2018 at the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul by a team of 15 agents sent from Riyadh.

Mohammed bin Salman the incident, Saudi officials later claimed that a group of rogue operators, many of whom belong to the Crown Prince’s inner circle, were responsible for the journalist’s death. The murder caused international outrage and provoked condemnation of the 33-year-old Crown Prince, also known as “MBS”. Saudi authorities, however, insist they were not acting on the Crown Prince’s orders.
In a 101-page report into Khashoggi’s murder, Callamard urged the UN to “demand” a follow-up criminal investigation. She did not make any conclusions on the guilt of the Saudi Crown Prince and King. Instead, Callamard said that there was “credible evidence meriting further investigation by a proper authority” as to whether the “threshold of criminal responsibility has been met”. Callamard said it was her conclusion that Khashoggi was “the victim of a deliberate, premeditated execution” and an “extrajudicial killing for which the state of Saudi Arabia is responsible under international human rights law”.
There was no immediate reaction from Saudi Arabia. “There is credible evidence, warranting further investigation of high-level Saudi officials’ individual liability, including the Crown Prince’s. Indeed, this human rights inquiry has shown that there is sufficient credible evidence regarding the responsibility of the Crown Prince demanding further investigation,” she said.According to Callamard, there was “no reason why sanctions should not be applied against the Crown Prince and his personal assets”. She went to Turkey earlier this year with a team of forensic and legal experts and said she received evidence from Turkish authorities.

Tuesday’s ballot with 46 votes, followed by Environment Secretary Michael Gove -- another leader of the 2016 Brexit campaign -- on 41. International Development Secretary Rory Stewart, the only one of the candidates to rule out leaving the EU with no deal, continued his unlikely progress with 37 votes. Sajid Javid, Britain’s first Muslim interior minister, scraped through with 33 votes -- the minimum to avoid elimination -- while Raab fell short with 30. Raab was viewed as the candidate with the most hardline policy on Brexit, even suggesting he could suspend the session of parliament if it tried to block “no deal”. Tuesday’s BBC debate was the first of the campaign to feature Johnson, who dodged one on Sunday and has kept his public and media appearances to a minimum. But none of the candidates made any major headway or gaffes, and Johnson remains the runaway favourite.

Washington, June 19 (IANS): US President Donald Trump has formally launched his 2020 re-election campaign at a rally in Orlando, Florida, and called on his supporters to deliver a metaphorical “earthquake” at the ballots against his Democratic Party rivals. “The only thing these corrupt politicians will understand is an earthquake at the ballot box... and they’re going to see it,” Trump told some 20,000 supporters at the rally in the Amway Centre on Tuesday night. “We did it once and we’re going to do it again...
and want to destroy you and they want to destroy our country as we know it,” Trump claimed, adding that this was “not acceptable. It’s not going to happen”. The President also announced his official campaign slogan, “Keep America Great”, following in the footsteps of his indelible 2016 slogan “Make America Great Again”. The Orlando event officially kicked off Trump’s re-election campaign with more than 16 months to go until the November 2020 elections and over a year before the Democratic Party decides which of its current 24 presidential candidates will end up facing off against the incumbent leader. The only Democratic candidate Tr ump mentioned by name was former Vice President Joe Biden, who is polling as one of the favourites to become the party’s nominee. Fundraising for Trump’s re-election began nearly two years ago, when he had only been in the White House for five months.

prequel to The H u n ge r G a m e s trilogy has been confirmed by author Suzanne Collins. Collins, who wrote The Hunger Games (2008), Catching Fire (2009), and Mockingjay (2010), is working on a prequel novel set 64 years before the first book. “The reconstruction period ten years after the war, commonly referred to as the Dark Days — as the country of Panem struggles back to its feet — provides fertile ground for characters to grapple with these questions and thereby define their views of humanity,” Collins said in a statement [via Vulture]. Collins’ trilogy was made into four films released between 2012 and 2015.

hen Suman Rao was crowed Miss India World 2019, the CA student knew the value of the win: it would now open doors for her community in Rajasthan, which is distant from the world of modelling. Born in Rajasthan’s A a i d a n a v i l l a ge n e a r Udaipur city, Rao’s family shifted to Mumbai when she was one year old. On Saturday, when she was adjudged the winner of fbb Colors Femina Miss India World, she said the victory was an extremely emotional moment. “I had tears in my eyes but I didn’t cry. In fact, we didn’t get the time to cry, because we had to click a lot of pictures. “Later I went to meet my family members who were waiting to see me. I was so happy, I just forgot about crying,” Suman told PTI. The 20-year-old winner said the Miss India
journey was like a school where she kept learning everyday. “I come from a conser vative backg round. Modelling is a big thing for my community. I am also the first model from my community. And I come from a non-pageantry background, had no clue what it was. I started
practising a year ago,” she said. Being the first woman from Rajasthan’s Rao community to go for modelling was a “a big thing” in her family. “When I was shortlisted for the top three, the change begun. The entire community is now proud of me. The ones who were waiting for someone to take the initiative to bring about change, they are happy and say ‘you’ve done a great thing. Now we can do what we want’ because someone took the first step. They see me as a ray of hope,” she added.

Brian May praises Adam Lambert’s talents, says he can ‘do more’ than Freddie Mercury
Q
ueen‘s Brian May has hailed the talents of Adam Lambert, claiming that he’s the perfect man to follow in the footsteps of Freddie Mercury. The American Idol runner-up has toured with the rock icons since 2012, following in the footsteps of Free’s Paul Rodgers as the second Queen vocalist after the death of Freddie Mercury in 1991. While Lambert’s stint has faced questions from fans who compare his vocals of those of Queen’s legendary original frontman, May insists that he’s the perfect person to lead the band forward. “Adam can do all the stuff that Freddie did and more. It doesn’t matter what you throw the death as a form of at Adam — he can do it…” Brian told Guitarentertainment. Read more: Why The World. “He’s a born exhibitionist. He’s not Freddie, Hell Is The Hunger Games and he’s not pretending to be him, but he has a So Successful? Though not confirmed, the prequel novel could well be made into another film. Lionsgate’s four films have made almost $3bn at the box office and the movie production and distribution company has expressed interest in extending the franchise as well. Joe Drake, Lionsgate chairman said: “As the proud home of the Hunger Games movies, we can hardly wait for Suzanne’s next book to be published. “We’ve been communicating with her during the writing process and we look forward to continuing to work closely with her on the movie” [quotes via The Guardian].

parallel set of equipment.” Hailing Lambert as a “born exhibitionist”, May says that Lambert is a “born rock star and front man”. He said: “We treat Adam exactly the same as we treated Freddie in almost every way.” This comes after Queen’s story received renewed focus in Bohemian Rhapsody, which saw Rami Malek scooping the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury. But Lambert has been quick to shut down talk of a sequel, after Queen’s frequent video director Rudi Dolezal claimed that the wheels were in motion for a follow-up, after the huge success of the 2018 movie. “What would it be? A sequel? How would that work? It doesn’t make sense to me but I haven’t heard anything about it,” he told NME. “But I somehow doubt that. Somehow… I don’t know what they would make the movie about.” (NME)
Ranveer Singh warned by Brock Lesnar’s advocate

ollywood actor Ranveer Singh has been warned by WWE wrestler Brock Lesnar’s advocate Paul Heyman for using a phrase made popular by him. The matter stems from Ranveer using a known phrase that Heyman and Lesnar apparently devised for their time in the WWE. Heyman would root for Lesnar by shouting: “Eat, Sleep, Conquer, Repeat,” every time the latter stepped inside the ring. The “Padmaavat” star used the phrase with a twist when he posted an image with Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya from the India-Pakistan match at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. Ranveer captioned his photograph along with Pandya: “Eat. Sleep. Dominate. Repeat. The name is Hardik. Hardik Pandya. Hardik Pandya ma boi, unstoppable.” This led Heyman to point out on Twitter: “Ranveer Singh are you F’N kidding me? 1 - It’s eat, sleep conquer, repeat. 2 - Copyright #YourHumbleAdvocate and Brock Lesnar. 3 - I am litigious 4 - Eat Sleep Deposition repeat.” Ranveer is yet to reply to Heyman.

ICC WC: NZ beat S. Africa by 4 wickets Eagles beat Khriekesa in KFL-3 Correspondent
Birmingham, Jun 19 (PTI): Skipper Kane Williamson struck a composed unbeaten century as New Zealand virtually knocked South Africa out of the World Cup with a fourwicket victory in a last over finish here Wednesday. Chasing a target of 242 in 49 overs in raintruncated match, New Zealand recovered from a mini slump at 137 for five riding on a 91-run stand between Williamson (103 not out off 138 balls) and Collin de Grandhomme (60 off 47 balls) to reach home with three balls to spare. Needing 12 off last seven balls, Williamson steered a Lungi Ngidi slower delivery to third man boundary to bring down the equation to 8 off the last over. With Ngidi (1/47), Kagiso Rabada (1/42) and Chris Morris (3/49) all bowling their full quota, Faf Du Plessis had no option but to use their weakest link Andile Phehlykwayo.

Williamson promptly hit the second delivery for his first six of the match to close the encounter. With this win, New Zealand for a day went on top of points table with nine points from five games while South Africa after their fourth defeat in six games have little chance of
making it to the last four. Williamson’s innings had eight fours and a six, while De Grandhomme was the aggressor during the stand with five fours and two sixes. Earlier, New Zealand’s bowling unit fired in unison as they restricted South Africa to 241 for

V AL E N C I E NN E S ( F RAN C E ) , J u n 1 9 ( Ag e n c i es ) : M a r ta has set a record for men and women with her 17th World Cup goal in Brazil’s 1-0 victory over Italy, which ensured the Selecao advanced to the knockout stage for the sixth-straight time. According to AP, the 33-year-old forward, playing in her fifth World Cup, scored from the penalty spot in the 74th minute at Stade du Hainaut, sending her effort to the left of goalkeeper Laura Giuliani after Debinha was fouled by Elena Linari. It was the second goal of the tournament for Marta - both penalties. Her goal against Australia tied the World Cup record set by Miroslav Klose, who scored 16 for Germany from 2002 to 2014. The United States’ Abby Wambach and Germany’s Birgit Prinz are tied for second among women with 14. Marta is the only player, male or female, to score in five World Cups.

Australia thrash Jamaica 4-0 Australia’s captain Sam Kerr scored all four goals to beat Jamaica and fire her team into the last 16 of the Women’s World Cup. In doing so she became
the first footballer — male or female — to score a World Cup hat-trick for Australia. Kerr struck her first two with a pair of well-taken headers in the first half and capitalised on two defensive blunders after the break, with Jamaica goalkeeper Nicole McClure gift-wrapping her fourth with a botched attempt at a pass. The 4-1 victor y in Grenoble on Tuesday pro-
pelled the Socceroos into a knock-out match versus Norway on Saturday. Jamaica, who commanded just 26% of possession in the game, are out of the World Cup after losing all three of their group matches.

He also encouraged the interested youngsters to take up sports, saying that many opportunities are coming up for those who take it seriously. He further said “Certificates can be bought by money, but talents cannot be bought”. With this motive and despite of the hardship he faced, Hemavi did not give up instead tried harder to face the challenges. He also trained himself without any coach and as a run for the world championship he had further intensified his training. Hemavi is currently the
head coach of “Strike Fit Academy” in Badumpukhuri. Meanwhile, ANAMA has congratulated Hemavi Ayemi on his selection for the World Championship and wished him good luck. Meanwhile, All Nagaland Amateur Muaythai Association (ANAMA) has informed that Muaythai, under the banner of International Federation of Muaythai Amateur (IFMA) has been recognized by International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) and included in 2020 Asian Bach Games in Santa, China. Muaythai has also been included in the Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Game to be held in 2021. Since it has been recognized by the IOC, ANAMA was hopeful that Muaythai might be included in the 2024 Olympics, which could open doors for the Naga youths.
