Yoga is one of world’s most powerful unifying force: PM

D E H R A D U N, J U N 2 1 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said that yoga has the power to unite individuals, society, country and the world at large, and has emerged as a major unifying force globally. Leading the fourth International Yoga Day celebrations here in Uttarakhand, Modi said that the world has embraced yoga and glimpses of this can be seen in the manner in which the International Day of Yoga is marked every year. “In fact, Yoga Day has become one of the biggest mass movements in the quest for good health and wellbeing,” he said. The Prime Minister said that yoga is beautiful because it is “ancient yet modern”. “It is constant yet evolving. It has the best of our past and present and a ray of hope for our future. In yoga, we have the perfect solution to Prime Minister Narendra Modi performs yoga along with others a mass yoga event on 4th International Yoga Day in the problems we face, either as during Dehradun, on Thursday.

tries participated in the event and performed 21 yoga postures along with nearly 50,000 people who stretched their bodies in the sprawling lawn of Dehradun’s Forest Research Institute lawn surrounded by Shivalik peaks from three sides. Modi said it is a proud moment for all Indians everywhere in the world who were welcoming the rising sun with yoga on the day. Recalling the moment when he proposed before the UN to mark June 21 as International Day of Yoga, Modi said it was the only proposal that was cosponsored by maximum countries. Also it was the first proposal in the history of the world body to accept it in very short period. The Prime Minister participated in the Yoga Day celebrations at Rajpath in New Delhi in 2015, the Capitol Complex in Chandigarh in 2016 and at the Ramabai Ambedkar Sabha Sthal in Lucknow in 2017. In December 2014, based on a request from Modi, the UN General Assembly declared June 21 as the International Day of Yoga.

State govt to crack down on ‘non-performing’ teachers Correspondent KOHIMA, JUN 21 (NPN): In an attempt to crack down on non-performing teachers, adviser School Education, K.T. Sukhalu has announced that he would personally review and work with accounts branch, director and principal director while releasing salary of the teachers into their bank accounts. Addressing the 13th general conference of Nagaland School Education Administrative Officers’ Association (NSEAOA) at Capital Convention Centre here on Thursday, Sukhalu alleged that many teachers did not teach properly and was merely taking salaries, for which performance of the government schools had plummeted. He added that even irregular attendance of the teachers had become a huge problem. He asked such teachers not willing to teach properly to resign and give opportunity to those youngsters who were eager to bring about a change in the society through education. The adviser also announced that the school education department would soon introduce biometric attendance. Referring to the State government’s blanket order under which all government employees must submit their Aadhar numbers, he directed the teachers to submit their Aadhar numbers within two months, failing which their salary would be withheld. Further, he said to double check

the presence of teachers in schools, all institutes have been asked to prepare half-yearly reports and warned initiating action against teachers not performing well. Lamenting poor enrolment in government schools, Sukhalu pointed out that in some school there was only one student. And with many schools recording zero pass percentage, he questioned the quality of education in the State. The adviser said there were more than 20,000 teachers, yet enrolment and performance continued to plummet. He pointed out that as against optimal teacher-student ratio of 1:25, Nagaland had 1:8. Admitting that the State had excess teachers and that it was difficult to cut down their numbers, he said the enrolment and performance of government schools, however, did not justify the number. Sukhalu said promotion had been put on hold due to non-clearance of DPC as many officials were officiating only, even as he asked them to keep all papers in order to speed up the process. Principal director Smita Sarangi and administrative officers of various districts also attended the programme. Corrigendum: Apropos the news item ‘Nil result schools under scanner’, the seventh para should be read as “state has more than 20,000 teachers,” beyond the requirement of students teachers ratio, and not as published.

Rupin Sharma under govt scanner Attract patients to govt hospitals: Pangnyu GUWAHATI/DIMAPUR, JUN 21 (AGENCIES): Nagaland government is set to take disciplinary action against former officiating DGP, Rupin Sharma for allegedly “orchestrating a campaign” using state police and public, with protests and signature campaigns, to extend his tenure as the DGP, a Hindustan Times (HT) report stated. Sharma, who has been put on compulsory wait, refuted the allegations, saying, “I have nothing to do with this campaign.” Beside the public, a section of the state police had initiated a signature campaign to demand that the 1992-batch IPS officer be allowed to continue as DGP. Calling it “attempts to engineer a mutiny among the state police”, a senior state government official, on condition of anonymity told the HT, said the government has been “advised

to initiate disciplinary proceedings”. According to Hindustan Times, Nagaland chief secretary Temjen Toy said: “It was an informed decision on the basis of inputs received from agencies that he (Sharma) was responsible for creating the hype on social media and also engineering protests not only by public but members of the forces that led to a serious likelihood of breakdown of law and order.” He noted that the campaign was launched “at a time when the state was grappling with issues arising on account of violent attacks on armed forces”. This official quoted earlier explained how the state government was “disappointed” on how an administrative decision to appoint the DGP, a prerogative of the state government, has become “a matter of public debate and discussion”.

“There were serious competence issues,” the official quoted earlier said when asked about Sharma. “He was more about populism and welfare than policing.” A source close to Sharma admitted that the officer did undertake some welfare measures for the police. “For example, the ration and supplies system was overhauled. Police canteens came up and cops who would get just Rs 500-600 as travel allowance during election duty got as much as Rs 3,000,” he said, explaining why even cops were rallying behind him. However, another senior office pointed out that claims about Rupin releasing more money this time were not based on facts. The office explained that unlike previous years, this time the allowance was enhanced by the Centre. . “It incorrect to accuse all officers of pocketing the allowances earlier,” the officer asserted.

KOHIMA, JUN 21 (NPN): The joint meeting of State government officials and representatives of All Nagaland Ad hoc Teachers’ Group (ANATG), ACAUT and Public Service Aspirants of Nagaland (PSAN) with senior additional advocate general ended in a deadlock, which made the agitating teachers decide to continue with their agitation. The joint meeting was initiated by principal secretary School Education, Menukhol John at secretariat conference hall here on late Thursday afternoon to clear doubts and communication gaps on the interpretation of the High Court order W.P (C) NO 145 (K) /2017. Senior additional advocate general (SAAG) K Sema clarified during the meeting that the July 2017 Gauhati High Court order was a blan-

ket order that stayed the 2008 notification. Pointing out that the State government could not defy the court, Sema explained that unless the 2008 notification was set aside or modified, the government could not do anything on the issue. The SAAG also informed the meeting that government had tried to help the ad hoc employees by passing another order in July 2017 to regularise the contractual and ad hoc teachers on completion of three years, however even that order was stayed by the High Court. Claiming that the government was trying its best to explore if some relaxation could be given to the ad hoc teachers, Sema said the hearing was listed next week and that unless the court gave its final verdict, any decision would tantamount to contempt of court. He added that implead-

ing whether ad hoc teachers were included in the July 2017 court order did not materialise at this time since the order was stayed by court. Further, he said ACAUT did not have the right to say that the ad hoc teachers were not included in the blanket order since 2008 notification was also challenged in the court. ANATG spokesperson Bendangtemsu Ozukum highlighted the plight of the ad hoc teachers and requested the government to move the court seeking relaxation of the ad hoc teachers from the purview of the July 2017 court order. To this, John said even before the ad hoc teachers pointed out, the State government had already moved the court, adding that school education department had also prepared the required documents and submitted them to the court.

NLSF on appointment of DGP DIMAPUR: Nagaland Law Students’ Federation (NLSF) on Thursday pointed out that the removal of Rupin Sharma as DGP was in clear violation of the Supreme Court order which mandates two years service of a DGP. In a press note, NLSF president Imliben Lemtur, general secretary Medochütuo Kiewhuo and speaker Nungshimeren Jamir also pointed out the judgement does not differentiate between officiating or in-charge DGP. It was a premeditated move to usurp the competent officer who had

amassed support and devotees and who had strictly gone by the rules, it added. It further said that Rupin Sharma was replaced by a junior officer, by overriding the seniority/promotion rules and against the established rules and statutory provisions. This, NLSF said, would weaken the police administration and functioning. According to the apex court, NLSF said a chief secretary could be shifted if it does not enjoy the confidence of the council of ministers, as it was answerable to the people in admin-

istration. However, a DGP cannot be merely removed on that basis, as it is concerned with the probe of crimes, law and order and public order and not general administration. It also said that the “mentally convincing word-- inexperience” to describe Sharma was hypocritical, when a much junior officer was appointed as DGP. In this regard, Nagaland Law Students’ Federation has appealed to the government to reinstate Sharma and allow him to complete his full tenure.

Acharya” for congratulating Awan Konyak on being appointed as the chairperson of the Nagaland State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NSCPCR).

This would affect the state exchequer and deprive the public of their share meant for development etc., NVCO stated.

During the program, Zhimomi in his address said under the initiative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, yoga was recognized internationally and this was the 4th International Day of Yoga. According to

Stressing the importance of yoga, he said it benefits the mind, soul and body if practiced correctly. He said that while practicing yoga, one could find it useful to meditate and reflect, introspect and connect with God by counting His blessings.

It further directed that special courts be set up in each district to conduct trial of offences committed against them within three months. Despite the above as well as the strong urgings of the disabled community, Nagaland is yet to make any concrete move towards implementation of the Disability Act even with the passage of more than a year. As committed by the NDPP as well as the BJP in their election manifestos, people living with disabilities urged the chief minister and his government to notify the State Disability Rules and start implementation of the RPWD Act without delay. The chief minister expressed his full support and assured them that action would be taken.

Topping the exams should be a stepping stone to achieving more milestones in their

lives, Tongpang stated. He reminded the students that success was not a destination but a journey into greater heights. Reminding the toppers that there was stiff competition at their age, he said there was no place for insincere students in this highly competitive world.

He appealed to the parents and guardians of the students to continue their support for the students and guide the student community in the days to come. NSF president Kesosul Christopher Ltu in

his presidential address said that awarding exceptional Naga students’ achievements was a proud moment for Nagas.

employees.

Linking yoga to religion is unfortunate: Naidu

Vice President Venkaiah Naidu doing yoga with Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadanvis in Mumbai. Mumbai, Jun 21 (Agencies): Calling yoga “a gift from India to the world”, Vice-President Venkaiah Naidu said that linking yoga to religion is unfortunate. The VicePresident also called for including yoga in school curriculum He was speaking at the International Day of Yoga celebrations at Bandra Reclamation in Mumbai. The

programme was organised by Mumbai BJP president Ashish Shelar, India Today reported. “Yoga is a holistic approach to well being. It shouldn’t just be for one day, it should be a part of our daily lives,” Naidu said “This is a celebration of ancient Indian tradition. Unfortunately, some people attach religious connotations to this. Time has

come to introduce yoga in the school curriculum.” he said. Apart from Vice-President Venkaiah Naidu, Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis, union minister Babul Supriyo, MP Poonam Mahajan, Mumbai police commissioner Datta Padsalgikar, BMC commissioner Ajoy Mehta, Singer Shaan also participated in the ceremony.

Mumbai police personnel and BMC employees had also participated in the yoga camp. “It was a great joy to perform yoga with BMC employees and our policemen. It’s such a great feeling that our ancient tradition has been accepted all across the world. It’s good to see that the initiative taken by the prime minister is now becoming a people’s movement,” Devendra Fadnavis said. “Yoga teaches flexibility and that is very important in politics as well,” quipped MP Poonam Mahajan “I will soon be giving my yoga exams and hopefully I will soon become a yoga instructor,” she said. Union minister Babul Supriyo, who is also a playback singer was thrilled to be in the city of Bollywood “Mumbai is the place I have chased my dreams as a Bollywood singer. So performing yoga with Mumbaikars was a great feeling. Incidentally its also World Music Day today. So celebrating the two together in Mumbai was a great experience,” Supriyo told India Today TV.

Kota creates world record with 2 lakh performing yoga Jaipur, Jun 21 (IANS): Kota in Rajasthan established a world record on Thursday when around two lakh people performed yoga at one place on the occasion of the International Yoga Day. The event took place in the presence of yoga guru Baba Ramdev and Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje Scindia at the RAC ground. Speaking to IANS, an officer, Hariom Gurjar, said: “We have created a Guinness record as this is the first time these many people performed yoga together at one place.” He explained that counting of the participants was done with the help of bar codes given to each contestant. A total of 4,000 volunteers were present on the occasion and a drone centre was set up to keep an eye on the ground. People started reaching the RAC ground from 5 a.m. A certificate was given to Vasundhara Raje Scindia, District Collector Gaurav Goyal and Baba Ramdev by two Guinness Book of World Record officials who came from London to monitor the proceedings. Baba Ramdev tweeted that more than two lakh people performed yoga on the International Yoga Day.

Man uses fake email to cheat Qatar’s Royal family of Rs 5 cr Thiruvananthapuram, Jun 21 (Agencies): A 47-year old auditor was arrested in Kerala’s Thrissur district on Thursday for allegedly using the email id of a member of Qatar’s royal family and illegally amassing a sum of Rs 5.2 crore, news 18 reported. Police said that Sunil Menon, who had worked in various countries in the Gulf, including Qatar, for around 15 years, was arrested on the charges of duping Qatar’s Museum Authority by faking the email id of a royal. According to the complaint received by Kerala police, the accused “hacked” the email id of Sheikha AlMayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, who is the sister of Qatar’s ruling Emir and heads the Qatar Museum Authority. Using a fake email id generator app, he emailed the Qatar Museum, asking it to provide money to American firm Jerome Napoleon, which he said had been asked to make portraits of the Qatar Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. According to the mail, Jerome Napoleon had offered to sell the gold-plated paintings of the Emir to Qatar Museum Authority. It said the work would cost an amount worth

Flood threat looms large over 10 states NEW DELHI, Jun 21 (Agencies): Monsoon has just set in and more than 30 people have already died in floods in North East, 20 of them in Assam alone with over half a million marooned. But an assessment by the Union home ministry, which has worked out a Flood Vulnerability Index in its ongoing study on disaster risk reduction, has listed Punjab as the most vulnerable state and Gujarat facing as much risk as Assam. According to TNN, among the top 10 most vulnerable states, Punjab is followed by West Bengal, Bihar, UP, Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Kerala, Assam, Gujarat and Odisha, in that order. These findings are

based on data collected by the Centre on actual areas flooded since 1950. However, the study points out that if the flood data taken for a period during 1980 and 2016, Assam and Bihar would probably rank higher than Punjab and West Bengal. In fact, last year, Bihar disaster management authorities had reported more than 500 deaths due to floods. The construction of dams in Indo-gangetic rivers have somewhat mitigated the hazards in recent decades, the study points out. At least five of these flood-affected states have been placed on high risk on two other hazards—cyclone and heat wave. West Bengal has the highest risk of

Cyclone, followed by Odisha, Andhra, Gujarat and Kerala. At least 100 cyclone prone districts have been studied for the purpose. Odisha, UP, Andhra, West Bengal, Bihar and Punjab are also among the top 10 states facing the highest risk of heat wave deaths in the country. A working paper prepared by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) recently found India vulnerable to more than 30 different types of disasters. In 2015 and 2016, more than 1,100 people reported killed in disasters and over 350 million affected across the country. The damages to properties in these two years alone have been estimated at over

$4.4 billion. A report from the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR) had earlier said that between 2005 and 2014, at least 167 disasters struck India causing damages of more than $47 billion in properties, ranking the nation among the top four countries in the world with highest number of reported disasters. The Flood Vulnerability Index has been prepared based on parameters such as areas actually flooded during 1950 to 2016, areas vulnerable to flood and metropolitan and large cities that fall in flood prone areas. On a scale of 10, Punjab has been assessed as facing the highest flood hazard risk of 6.67, followed by West

Bengal 6.43, Bihar 6, UP 4.76, Andhra Pradesh 4.49, Haryana 4.12, Kerala 3.88, Assam 3.84, Gujarat 3.38 and Odisha 2.73. Though Punjab, Haryana, UP and West Bengal had maximum floods in earlier decades, the current trend indicates flood incidents have increased in magnitude in Assam and Bihar in recent years. The NDMA is currently working on a National Disaster Database that will capture nationwide losses of properties and lives occurring due to disasters and will ensure that states compulsorily report and feed all losses real time into the dynamic platform.

Rs 10.40 crore and half of the amount, Rs 5.20 crore should be paid in advance, the complaint said. Cops said that Sunil had found an app that lets a user send an email masking the real sender. The receiver would see the sender as one picked by the user, in this case, the sister of the Emir. According to the police, Sunil had found the email ids of several members of the royal family. He sent a mail to the museums and it reached as that from the head of the Qatar Museum Authority. The mail directed the museum to transfer Rs 5.20 crore as advance payment to the account of the US firm. Then he replied from the fake id created in the name of Jerome Napoleon, the American firm. Subsequently, another e-mail was sent from the mail ID of Sheikha to transfer the amount to the account of Sunil Menon. The museum authority did as directed in the mail. SHO PC Bijukumar said the fraud was detected after a member of the royal family, who is also a member of the museum’s governing body, became suspicious. IT experts from the museum’s financial analysis unit had a suspicion about the veracity of the email and its content.

CIC to continue hearing case even if appellant dies N e w D e lh i , J u n 21 (PTI): Transparency watchdog Central Information Commission (CIC) will now decide appeals and complaints even after the death of an appellant or complainant, the government has said. The Right to Information (RTI) Act allows information seekers to approach the CIC to lodge second appeal and complaint in case they are aggrieved with government departments over disposal of their application filed under the law. As per rules finalised in 2017, the proceedings pending before the CIC shall abate on the death of the appellant or complainant. The latest directive assumes significance as some RTI activists have been killed in different parts of the country allegedly for seeking information related to some potential scams or irregularities in government departments. Also, many RTI activists have opposed provisions of the 2017 rules, including the one that allows no action on appeals in case of the death of the appellant, saying they were aimed at diluting the Act.

Trump does it again

ith the US making good its threat to pull out of the UN Human Rights Commission which was announced by US secretary of state Mike Pompeo and the US ambassador to the UN, Nikky Haley on June 20; the decision was no less as dramatic. Haley and Pompeo went further, claiming that some states manipulate the HRC to shield abusers and target blameless states in its resolutions. After the surprise sank, it sent a strong message that the USA will no longer remain a prisoner of pretensions but would chart its own course independently. At the international fora, the consequence of the pull out will be felt even as friendly allies are apprehensive that the vacuum could be filled by Russia, China and Cuba in the coming years. At their press conference, UN ambassador Nikky Haley and US secretary of state Mike Pompeo decried the presence of human rights abusers on the council, including China, Cuba, Venezuela and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The USA has been accusing the UNHRC of being biased against Israel. The US has said that the UNHRC has aimed a disproportionate number of resolutions against Israel sponsored by anti-American nations. Trump’s administration had been slammed for physically shifting its embassy from Tel Aviv to the capital Jerusalem, a promise that had not been kept for decades by successive US presidents. The US said that the HRC’s regular agenda was only to focus on a particular state(Israel). This is not incorrect since Israel is being seen as an occupier of Arab lands and for which it has been facing terrorist attacks throughout its existence. Israel has also fought fourteen wars with its Arab neighbours since its independence. However, whenever Israel responds to attacks it gets slammed for the deaths of ‘civilians’. Despite strong reservations, the USA took up membership of UNHRC in 2009 but then US ambassador to the UN had described president Obama’s decision to join the body as being “like getting on board the Titanic after it’s hit the iceberg.” A noted columnist recently wrote that like all UN bodies, the UNHRC is a sum of its parts and, on closer inspection of the countries that make up the council such as Afghanistan, Qatar, Cuba and China, it is clear that the “inmates are running the asylum.” The author went further in saying that only a minority of the 47 nations on the UNHRC are considered “free” by the independent NGO Freedom House. The majority of nations currently represented on this self-styled “human rights” body do not allow basic freedoms for their own people, let alone concern themselves with global civil liberties. The UNHRC has been condemned as a “cesspool of political bias” where biasness and prejudices reign supreme. The US is the biggest contributor of funds to the World Body but after decades, Trump is trying to change all that. He has little inclination for the pretentions and diplomacy which he believes, do not make sense when America is expected to foot the bill for everything and while those giving least donation such as China, Russia, Cuba and Iran make it their global policy to oppose US agendas.

DailyDevotion The Ministry of the Inner Life You are…a royal priesthood… —1 Peter 2:9 By what right have we become “a royal priesthood”? It is by the right of the atonement by the Cross of Christ that this has been accomplished. Are we prepared to purposely disregard ourselves and to launch out into the priestly work of prayer? The continual inner-searching we do in an effort to see if we are what we ought to be generates a self-centered, sickly type of Christianity, not the vigorous and simple life of a child of God. Until we get into this right and proper relationship with God, it is simply a case of our “hanging on by the skin of our teeth,” although we say, “What a wonderful victory I have!” Yet there is nothing at all in that which indicates the miracle of redemption. Launch out in reckless, unrestrained belief that the redemption is complete. Then don’t worry anymore about yourself, but begin to do as Jesus Christ has said, in essence, “Pray for the friend who comes to you at midnight, pray for the saints of God, and pray for all men.” Pray with the realization that you are perfect only in Christ Jesus, not on the basis of this argument: “Oh, Lord, I have done my best; please hear me now.” How long is it going to take God to free us from the unhealthy habit of thinking only about ourselves? We must get to the point of being sick to death of ourselves, until there is no longer any surprise at anything God might tell us about ourselves. We cannot reach and understand the depths of our own meagerness. There is only one place where we are right with God, and that is in Christ Jesus. Once we are there, we have to pour out our lives for all we are worth in this ministry of the inner life.

Post-mortem

Can intolerance & governance go together?

t is not as if the common people are indifferent to what is happening in Nagaland, atleast in the last one week, where a no holds barred war of words have erupted between the NDPP and the NPF party. Yes, people can very well become indifferent and even feel resigned in the face of an intolerant aggressive and revengeful administration hell-bent in getting its way. However, in the event of the people’s silence, truth becomes the causality and it is the common people who suffers in the aftermath as in the long run as well. The co-lateral damage is always the people in the street. It was the expectation that the ruling PDA would immediately get to work of making good its promises to the people after it formed the government given the fact that the mandate of the people was actually for the NPF which emerged as the single largest party. It is now becoming increasingly clear that the NDPP which is heading the PDA government is truly on crutches and seems completely unable to walk even a few baby steps on its own. Disability usually invokes sympathy and also love, more so if there is tolerance on the part of the disabled, but the NDPP is ventilating the ire and frustration of its disability to any criticism in such a disdainful manner with zero tolerance leaving no room for any sympathy whatsoever. Can any democracy function without criticism from the opposition party or the public? In trying to suppress criticism by even going personal, the NDPP is only succeeding in exposing its dark underbelly and revealing its true nature of not being a party of the people, but that of being a party of convenience. In the first place, the NDPP went to the people along with the BJP by selling their pet theme “election for solution” when the people were actually desirous of a solution before election. Needless to say, it is the desire of all the people that there be lasting peace which can be attained only

after addressing the Naga political issue in tune with today’s time, and which boils down to Naga integration. The inclusion of the NSCN(K) in the peace process will only greatly boost towards this end. The NDPP, however, not long after the formation of the PDA government, went public when the CM declared that the Nagas needed two solutions. Surely the Nagas do not want multiple or two solution. This statement that the Nagas needed two solutions is against the grain of Naga integration. The two solution theory can only be read as an attempt to keep the Nagas divided when all the Naga people are striving for unity, for that one solution acceptable to the people, and which will usher in peace for all time to come. The disappointment over the declaration of the two solution theory of the NDPP had not ebbed when the Chief Minister, again, made a statement this June that Naga integration was not possible. The disappointment over this disheartening statement by the Chief Minister was made even more acute as it was declared in the national capital itself. It is appearing as though the Naga integration issue is being used by the NDPP as a bargaining chip for whatever reason with the central BJP. We have heard BJP central minister mocking Naga integration, but to have a Naga CM endorsing and declaring Naga integration as not possible is very hard to swallow. To top it all, the NDPP has gone ballistic against the personal of NPF President, Dr Shurhozelie, for standing up against this very damaging statement of the CM. For years and decades together, even as others got tired and weary, Dr Shurho has never faltered to stand up ceaselessly for the right of the Nagas. Truth be said, it is only because of his unwavering stand that bolsters our waning spirit to also take courage in the face of the impossible and powerful that does overwhelm. Since the formation of the NPF led DAN government in 2003, the Naga issue has been brought to

the forefront in a purposeful manner that could no longer be ignored by the Government of India. Under Dr. Shurhozelie’s presidentship, the BJP had remained as one of the junior partners in the government, and made to adhere with all the policies and programmes of the NPF party. Today, however, the opposite is happening. The NDPP, even though heading the PDA government, is nothing but a sounding board of the BJP. The mother of all proxy appointment has been manifested in the appointment to the office of the Chief Minister of Nagaland itself. What then can the people expect in the raging controversy over the appointment to the sensitive DGP post. As to be expected, being uprightly fair is not a criterion for appointment in such an administration. Also, besides the BJP, the NDPP is the only party in the North-East that has openly decided to not oppose the Citizenship Amendment Bill, 2016. The protection for Nagaland’s interests has been bypassed with priority for the BJP’s agenda. The NDPP is venting its frustration over finding Dr. Shurhozelie at every corner of its turn in the road by digging out old dead and buried issues irrelevant to the challenges facing the Nagas today. What is the point of raking out former CM, TR Zeliang’s degree issue? Atleast the former CM did not victimize a clerical staff and Principal of a college to cover up his degree issue. It is beneath the dignity of the NDPP which is heading the government of the day to personalize attack in the face of its inability to face pressing issues fair and square. It can only be concluded that a party led by leaders who confuse, befool, and work against the interest of the people, who in the first place were appointed as proxy to an alien ideology, will find no strategy but to spread further confusion instead of sharing its vision and playing the role of a people oriented responsible government willing to sacrifice for the greater good of the people.

Five types of nationalism

ntroduction Nationalism, according to Oxford dictionary, is “patriotic feeling, belief in independence for a particular country”. Everyone has challenges and opportunities in life. Some people, tribe, and nation have more or less challenges and opportunities. There will be problem when people with more opportunities than challenges underestimate, look down, or oppress upon people with more challenges than opportunities. The author has feeling for his people Nagas to be wise on issue of Nationalism. Nagas have challenges on this issue but they have opportunity too. Every citizen of certain nation loves and respectshis/her people and nation. The following types of nationalism make people and nation differently. 1. Conditional Nationalism: This group of people shouts like a mad only when emergency comes up. They live in circumstances they faced. They do not have a strong goal. They do not have vision. They do not prepare and think for future. It is dirty and dangerous type of nationalism. 2. Hay-fire Nationalism: They rise just for some time when they have emotion. “Solve the problem later” kind of people group. This emotion will die down sooner or later and their nationalism disappears in the air. This group is used by corrupted leaders in certain circumstances to gain their benefit. 3. Blind-Nationalism: They are the group who think, work, and say, “My people, my religion, my culture, my language, my nation”. They care and look only for their people, religion, language, and culture and so on so ford. They underestimate other people, religion, language, culture and so on. They think and say that others are useless and tread as enemy. This group is used by

corrupted government. 4. Pretending Nationalism: This group looks and does only for their benefit (their business). They want people to see them as good politicians and leaders but in reality, they work and keep more for their benefit. They pretend as good politicians and leaders. Whenever and wherever this type of nationalism happens, nation and people become poor while leaders and politicians become rich. This type of nationalism is practiced by corrupted politicians, leaders, and dictators. 5. Wise Nationalism: This type of nationalism can be called Humanitarian group. They love their people, language, religion, culture, and nation etc. but they don’t underestimate/look down other people, tribe, language, and religion etc. They respect and value others as they respect and value themselves. This type of nationalism makes nations great, peaceful, and prosperity. Conclusion Loving your people, tribe, religion, language, culture, and nation is your ethical duty and responsibility which is good in the sight of everyone. However, loving them with wisdom and knowledge should be put together. It is no need to underestimate or look down others. Great people and nations respect and value the others as they love and work for their people, tribe, religion, language, culture, and nation. Avoiding all the first four types of nationalism and putting the fourth type of nationalism will make Naga people and nation great. If Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists, put in mind and practice this fourth type of nationalism, there will be peaceful environment and world because this is humanitarian type of Nationalism.

An overview of governance (From previous issue) While RS is also a human being like any one of us and would certainly not qualify as an angle, he has shown a healthy respect for Law along the long challenging road he has travelled...as compared to a good percentage of senior bureaucrats, presently in service, who spinelessly function under a win-win principle of “I scratch your back, you scratch my back.” There are innumerable commissions of erroneous practices such as the ‘backdoor appointments’ as a stark example... where transparency has been thrown out the window with rampant illegalities being committed continuously despite the verdict of the High Court against such an unbecoming practices. This deliberately unpalatable mismanagement has lead to the deprivation of thousands of our deserving

educated youngsters who have helplessly been marooned and afloat without any hope because many of them have no dependable politicians or bureaucrats in the ruling Ministry to rely upon. In the case of RS, he has perhaps shown less willingness to scratch the contaminating political backside by upholding the principles of transparency and advertising the vacancies within his present establishment. This can vindictively be logged as a direct affront and a serious violation of the ‘unwritten rules’ in the management dictionary of the political bosses upstairs. Such an inability on the part of bureaucracy to conform to the ‘scratching business’ would be considered as an outcast for committing an unforgivable sin of noncooperation against one’s immediate political bosses...which unfortunately was the general accepted

governing norm in the past and is being sustained even in to this day. Trust me, one has crossed those bridges many a time during one’s service years and knows how it feels at the receiving end. Therefore, under such an unhealthy environment, the DGP has certainly committed a mortal sin... from the stand point of money hunting politicians. This questionable move to transfer an upright officer therefore smacks of despotism at its best that the GoN is prone to habitually invoke as a punishment. If the government opts to challenge this accusation of unfairness, one could respond further by bring up specific uncomfortable instances where RS had courageously stood up to his immediate superior(s), because he was unwilling to step over the line of legitimate rules...where many other senior bureaucrats would perhaps

have conceded. The rule of law is no longer visible in Nagaland and does not command fear or respect... starting from the Law makers themselves. If facts are completely placed before the public, it would certainly curdle one’s blood and then boil over. However, as a matter of curtsey one is exercising restraint not to pour oil into the fire. It ought to serve the GoN well to pragmatically revisit the issue of transfer without unnecessarily delay before tide of rebellion within the ranks of Nagaland Police becomes a realistic phenomenon as never before...backed by agitated public in support. Apart from the general public, the GoN should also take cognizance of the fact that a serious percentage of the jawans also have families who would directly suffer the pinch of deprivation of their rightful facilities...like the funds for new uniforms

including the funds for TA/ DA and many other perks legitimately owed to them, which had consistently been siphoned off in the past. The present DGP has been known to have personally intervened and taken pains to plug many a chronic mismanagement within the establishment under his command in favour of the lower cadres. This would have definitely opened the eyes of many a sensible lower ranks for the very first time to recognise the magnitude of benefits they had been deprived for so long. As human beings they cannot but feel indebted to RS. Now add the corresponding circle of friends each jawan’s families would have as well, who would perhaps be prepared to join the rebellious fray as a show of solidarity. If these factors are reinforced with the general agitated citizens who also want an upright officer at the helm

Some useful tips for energy conservation

• Generate as little trash as possible, as trash in the land-fills emits large quantities of Methane and, if it is incinerated, carbon dioxide is released in the process. • D o n o t ove r c o o k food. • Cycle or walk to the neighbourhood market. • Recycle all cans, bottles and plastic bags and buy recycled items as far as possible. • Cover while cooking or use pressure cooker to save time and energy. • Do shut off the lights when you are not using them, and turn off the TV, Computer, Video games and other electrical stuff when you leave the room. • Don’t leave the Refrigerator Door Open. Every

time you open the door, upto one-third of the cold air can escape. • Hot food items should be allowed to cool down before placing them in the refrigerator. Hot food tends to decrease the temperature, thereby forcing the refrigerator to work harder to keep the air cool. • Do replace a burn-out light bulb with a new LED Bulb. • LED Bulbs use 80 percent less Energy, and they last 10 times longer. • Do remind grownups to use cold water in the washing machine. Hot water won’t get the clothes any cleaner, and it wastes a lot of energy. • Do close the curtains during hot summer days to

block the sun. During the winter, keep the curtains open. • Instead of turning on your heaters, wear a sweater or add blanket during the cold seasons. • Replace incandescent bulbs with LED Bulbs. • Keep air conditioning to not less than 24o C which is the optimum temperature at the least cost. • Refrain from opening the refrigerator too often and for too long as this will draw extra energy for cooling. At the least, keep a container office in the freezer. • Run your washing machine or dryer with full loads. • Computers use upto 70% less electricity when you put them in sleep mode. • Devices such as TV sets,

VCRs, DVD Players and Mobile chargers eat up maximum power, even on standby. Turn these off when not in use. • Don’t set your hair dryer to the maximum heat setting, not only will you save your power bills, but your scalp too. • Iron a pile of clothes at one go, instead of one or two at a time. • Illuminate your corridors using night lights when little light is enough. • Unless absolutely necessary consider using a fan to an air conditioner during the hot summer seasons. It saves energy too. Save Energy-Save Money Issued by: Chief Electrical Inspector, Electrical Inspectorate, Kohima

for a change, then the GoN could very well be staring at the momentum of an oncoming tsunami. This sincere suggestion is therefore, being repeated in good faith, with the hope that the people in the corridor of power would deploy their God given brains with Christian compassion and pragmatically re-examine this issue to honestly evaluate whether justice is being served or being murdered for questionable motives. At the end of the day, this matter is not worth rippling the waters and then facing a rebellious confrontation in its aftermath...which could end disastrously all over again. Let the good sense of real fairness prevail and disallow history from repeating itself. Amen. (Concluded) Khekiye K. Sema, IAS (Rtd.); Upper Forest Colony, Kohima, Nagaland; (kksema@gmail.com)

To resolve the imbroglio

Sir,

When the history of the Nagas is in its making towards a destiny, the Naga HOHO is the would-be Apex body of the Nagas. It has been formed and existing since more than a decade ago, but it has not yet attained its maturity as it has not yet been structured and constituted in accordance with the peculiarity of the organization and unless it is done, the organization cannot be a stable organization. A broken pot cannot cook and the Naga HOHO is now a broken pot and instead of attempting to build up it, some Tribes dissociated themselves from the HOHO. Hence a healthy and constructive proposal embracing all of the people inhabited in the contiguous areas of the Nagas is the only way of resolving the Imbroglio. Rev. L. Suohie Mhasi, (rev.suohie_mhasi@yahoo.com)

Government bans new offshoots of al-Qaeda, ISIS

New Delhi, Jun 21 (PTI): The Centre has banned new offshoots of terror organisations alQaeda and ISIS under the stringent anti-terror law -- Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, according to an official order. Both al-Qaeda in Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) and Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham-Khorasan (ISIS-K), an Afghanistanbased affiliate of ISIS, have been declared unlawful by the Union home ministry as they were found to be radicalising Indian youths for ‘global jihad’ and encouraging terror acts on Indian interests, it said. The ISIS-K is also known as Islamic State in Khorasan Province ( I S K P ) / I S I S Wi l aya t Khorasan, the order said. The AQIS, an affiliate of al-Qaeda, is a terrorist organisation, which has committed acts of terrorism in the neighbouring countries and has been promoting and encouraging terror acts on Indian interests in the Indian Subcontinent, it said. It has been attempting radicalisation and recruitment of youths from India, it said,

adding and the outfit has been declared as the banned organ isation under the UAPA. The ISKP/ISIS Wilayat Khorasan is also promoting and encouraging terrorism in the Indian Sub-continent, according to the order. It has been committing terrorist acts to consolidate its position by recruiting youths for ‘global jihad’ and to achieve the objective of establishing its own ‘caliphate’ by overthrowing democratically elected governments, it said. The outfit, which has now been banned, considers India and Indian interests as its targets and is engaged in activities of radicalising and recruiting Indian youth for terror activities, the home ministry order said. Both these outfits were declared as the terrorist organisations as they were recruiting youths from India, it said, adding the radicalisation of the youths was a matter of serious concern for the national security and international peace. The UAPA has strict penal provisions to deal with banned organisations and their members.

I M P HA L , J UN 2 1 : Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Manipur unit has expelled party leader and chairman of Chandel Autonomous District Council (ADC), who was arrested with a huge quantity of contraband drugs, from the party for his “antiparty and anti-social activities” with immediate effect.

He also infor med them that the government did try to show leniency to the ad hoc appointees by issuing another order, however both the 2008 and 2017 notifications were stayed by the court.

A NATG s a i d ACAUT and PSAN had made their stand that Writ petition no.145 (K)/2017 did not implead school teachers in any manner since they were outside the purview of NPSC recruitment norms.

Congress-led government had been brought back on the rails by the Narendra Modi-led government. “We never had the pride of place in the global economy that we have today. In almost every respect, India is becoming more and more attractive to global investors,” he said. “Another attraction is that India is becoming an honest economy and not having to worry about corruption in high places,” he said. Goyal’s live video-link concluded the two-day conclave, which included sessions on technology and innovation, renewables and climate change as well as foreign direct investment within the UK-India corridor. “The message from the minister was that India is on the road to 10 per cent growth and that it is the most bankable economy in the world for investors. “This right mix of optimism and realism helped wrap up the UK-India Conclave on the perfect note,” said Manoj Ladwa, Founder & CEO of India Inc – the organisers of the conclave.

London, Jun 21 (PTI): Finance Minister Piyush Goyal Thursday expressed confidence that it was “not impossible at all” for India to achieve a doubledigit growth rate given the country’s demographic dividend and aspirational middle class. Addressing the concluding day of the twoday UK-India Leadership Conclave in Latimer in Buckinghamshire via a live video-link from Delhi, Goyal, who is also the Minister for Railways and Coal, also predicted that the BJP would win over 300 seats in the 2019 general election and clinch a majority with its coalition partners. He said the ruling BJP government had created an “honest and transparent” system to make India “future-ready”. “I don’t want to be presumptuous and jump the gun in any way but what I will say is that I have immense faith in the people of India when it comes to elections,” he said in response to a question on next year’s elections. “On the back of our achievements, I believe the BJP will get more than 300

The Global Talent Crunch analysed global demand for labour at three key milestones, 2020, 2025 and 2030, in 20 markets, including in India, across three sectors, financial and business services, technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) and manufacturing. Globally, US companies can expect to pay the most globally facing a wage premium of more than USD 531 billion by 2030, while Germany will be the worst affected, facing a potential wage premium of approximately USD 176 billion by 2030. Meanwhile, in the Asia Pacific, the salary surge could add more than USD 1 trillion to annual payrolls by 2030, jeopardising companies’ profitability and threatening business models if kept unchecked, the Korn Ferry study said.

Mumbai, Jun 21 (PTI): Gold prices slumped by Rs 200 to Rs 30,420 per ten grams for the second day, maintaining a sluggish trend overseas amid easing demand from local jewellers. Silver was also in a tight spot for the fourth session, easing another Rs 80 to Rs 39,455 per kg. Standard gold (99.5 per cent purity) declined by Rs 200 to end at Rs 30,420 per ten grams from Wednesday’s closing level of Rs 30,620. Pure gold (99.9 per cent purity) also moved down by a similar margin to finish at Rs 30,570 per ten grams as compared to Rs 30,770 yesterday. Silver (.999 fineness) eased by Rs 80 to end at Rs 39,455 per kg as against Rs 39,535 yesterday.

India would be the only economy that will not face an upward revision of wages by 2030, as it has a talent surplus, bucking the global trend of a talent crunch, a report noted. “Unlike any other country in the study India will have a highly skilled talent surplus by 2030,” the report said. Globally, a shortage of highly skilled employees could dramatically drive up salaries for the most indemand workers by 2030, according to a study. This is likely to add more than USD 2.5 trillion in annual labour costs by 2030, for organisations around the world, according to Korn Ferry’s ‘The Salary Surge’.

Mumbai, Jun 21 (PTI): The rupee Thursday gained further ground to end at 67.98 against the US dollar, appreciating by 10 paise on sustained selling of the American currency by exporters and local banks even as Fed officials strike a hawkish tone. Forex market sentiment swung back in favour of the domestic currency after the initial wave of volatility after the Reserve Bank of India’s June meeting minutes signalled that the central bank will rely on data for future

rate hike decisions. The Indian currency pared all initial losses and rose past the key significant 68-mark against the US dollar. It plunged to a intraday low of 68.24 in early trade in a knee-jerk reaction to hawkish Fed Rhetoric after the Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell reiterated the central banks commitment to more interest rate increases. Though, the headlines have been dominated by the escalating US-China trade threats and fears, which have shaken up the markets worldwide recently. On the energy front, global crude prices took a big knock, tumbling over 1 per cent as crude exporters in OPEC appeared to be nearing a deal to increase production. The latest OPEC meeting starts in Vienna today against a gloomy backdrop of weaker global growth, US-China trade wars tensions and a strong US dollar.

ucts, the increase is at least 50 per cent of the existing rate (from 15 to upwards of 22.5 per cent). “The increase in the customs duties on goods originating from the USA was expected, but the magnitude of the increases would have been unexpected. These increases would make the domestic products cheaper compared to imports and lead to domestic manufacturing/demand pick-ups as a corollary,” Mani said. The decision to hike duties is in retaliation to the unilateral increase in tariff by the US on certain steel and aluminium products earlier this year which had tariff implication of USD 241 million on India. The duty hike by India would have an equivalent tariff implications for the US. On March 9, US President Donald Trump imposed heavy tariffs on imported steel and aluminium items, a move that has sparked fears of a global trade war.

Sebi has also streamlined the norms on buyback of securities, he said. Besides, the shareholding of foreign holding will be harmonised to 15 per cent in the Market Infrastructure Institutions (MIIs), he added. In this connection, Tyagi said that Sebi has not accepted the recommendations of the committee headed by former Reserve Bank of India Deputy Governor R.

The duty hike would come into effect from August 4, the finance ministry said in a notification. With the United States adopting protectionist policies and hiking import duties, a trade war like situation has emerged. The European Union has decided to levy higher import duties on a variety of US products and a similar action is being contemplated by China.

Trump orders end to family separation policy

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Vice President Mike Pence look on as Donald Trump signs an executive order ending separation of migrant families.

Washington, Jun 21 (PTI): President Donald Trump signed an executive order to end separation of immigrant families on the US-Mexico border, after images of children in cages sparked global outrage. Trump signed the executive order following widespread protests against the move of his administration to separate children from their parents who illegally enter the country. In recent weeks, more than 2,500 such children were separated from their parents. “We’re keeping families together, and this will

solve that problem. At the same time, we are keeping a very powerful border and it continues to be a zerotolerance. We have zero tolerance for people that enter our country illegally,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office of the White House as he signed the executive order. The executive order, signed by Trump, asks the Department of Homeland Security to keep families together while people await trial for illegal border crossing. But cases where there is a concern that parents “would pose a risk to the

child’s welfare” have been exempted from the executive order. Trump said the executive order is about keeping families together while at the same time making sure that they have a very powerful and strong border. “And border security will be equal, if not greater than previously. We are going to have very strong borders, but we’re going to keep the families together,” he said. Trump said he didn’t like the sight or the feeling of families being separated. “It’s a problem that’s gone on for many years, as you

know, through many administrations. We are working very hard on immigration. It’s been left out in the cold. People haven’t dealt with it, and we are dealing with it,” he said. Trump’s opponents, however, were not satisfied with the executive order, asserting that this was not enough. “The President’s Executive Order seeks to replace one form of child abuse with another. Instead of protecting traumatised children, the President has directed his Attorney General to pave the way for the long-term incarceration of families in prison-like conditions,” said Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. “It is particularly galling that President Trump seeks to continue violating children’s human rights to justify and gin up support for the anti-family language included in Speaker Ryan’s anti-immigrant bill,” she said. Pelosi said using terrified small children as “leverage” to push the President’s anti-immigrant agenda represents an “unspeakably appalling moral low-point for our nation”.

Kabul, Jun 21 (IANS): At least 20 Taliban militants and 17 security personnel were killed after clashes in two districts of Afghanistan on Thursday, according to officials. In Ghazni province, 20 militants and three security personnel were killed after Taliban’s attempts to overrun Jaghato district were repulsed, said A government spokesman. The spokesman also said that 10 militants and four security personnel were injured in the fighting. In Faryab province, 14 security personnel were killed as Taliban militants stormed Afghan forces security checkpoints. “Taliban rebels launched multi-pronged offensives on the checkpoints of national army on a road in Khawja Sabzpush district in the wee hours of today, killing 14 soldiers and destroying their heavy artillery,” said deputy to provincial council Sibghatullah Silab. The terror outfit on Wednesday had attacked the Army checkpoints in Badghis province, killing 30 soldiers. Taliban militants also overran four checkpoints and took away some weapons, an official said.

(Agencies): Few people consider used plastic to be a valuable global commodity. Yet China has imported 106 million tonnes of old bags, bottles, wrappers and containers worth $57.6 billion since 1992, the first year it disclosed data. So when the country announced last year that it finally had enough of everybody else’s junk, governments the world over knew they had a problem. They just didn’t know exactly how large it was. Now they know. By 2030, an estimated 111 million metric tonnes of used plastic will need to be buried or recycled somewhere else—or not manufactured at all. That’s the conclusion of a new analysis of UN global trade data by University of Georgia researchers. Everyone’s bottles, bags and food packages add up. Factories have churned out a cumulative 8.3 billion metric tonnes of new plastic as of 2017, the same Georgia team reported last year. Even 1 million metric tonnes, the scale that this material trafficks in every year, is hard to visualize in the abstract. It’s 621,000 Tesla Model 3s. It’s 39 million bushels of corn kernels. The world’s 700 million iPhones

a million metric tonnes. Nearly four-fifths of all that plastic has been thrown into landfills or the environment. A tenth of it has been burned. Several million tonnes reach oceans every year, sullying beaches and poisoning vast reaches of the northern Pacific. Just 9 per cent of the total plastic ever generated has been recycled. China took in just over half the annual total in 2016, or 7.4 million metric tonnes. As the industry matured and the negative effects on public health and the environment became clear, China got more selective about the materials it was willing to buy. A “Green Fence” law enacted in 2013 kept out materials mixed with food, metals or other contaminants. Exports consequently dropped off from 2012 to 2013, a trend that continued until last year, when the world’s biggest buyer warned that its scrap plastic purchases would stop altogether. Other nations, such as India, Vietnam and Malaysia, have taken in more plastic, although with an appetite smaller than China’s. Vietnam recently suspended imports as ships clogged its ports.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan

A NK A R A , J u n 2 1 (Agencies): The most powerful and polarizing leader in Turkish history is standing for re-election in a presidential vote on Sunday that could cement Turkey’s switch from a parliamentary to a presidential system, which was narrowly approved in a referendum last year. Recep Tayyip Erdogan would take an office with vastly expanded powers, in a system that critics have compared to one-man rule. His opponents have promised a return to a parliamentary system with a distinct separation of powers. Opinion polls have put Erdogan several points ahead of his closest competitor in the presidential race. However, he would need to win more than 50 percent of the votes for an outright first-round victory and that looks less likely. Analysts say the outcome could be decided in a second round runoff on July 8.

Ankara, Jun 21 (IANS): Turkey on Thursday became the latest country to hit back at the US for its tariffs on steel and aluminium. Turkey’s Ministry of Economy said that it was imposing tariffs worth $267 million on US goods, targeting items like coal, paper, walnuts, tobacco, rice, whiskey and cars after negotiations with Washington failed to yield meaningful progress, CNN reported. “Turkey is committed to active, robust and reciprocal trade relations with the US -- but with the understanding that fairness cannot be one-sided,” Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci said in a statement. “We cannot and will not allow Turkey to be wrongly blamed for America’s economic challenges.” The US enacted 25 per cent tariffs on imported steel and 10 per cent tariffs on imported aluminium in March. Exemptions were initially given to the EU, Canada and Mexico, but the Trump administration let them lapse at the beginning of the month. Turkey didn’t receive an exemption. Later, the EU, Canada and Mexico announced retaliatory tariffs against the US. China imposed tariffs on $3 billion of US products in early April in response to the steel and aluminium measures. Turkey is the world’s eighth largest steel exporter, according to a report prepared in March by the Department of Commerce. The US was Turkey’s top market for steel in 2017.

But side by side, I could compose raga-based melodies like ‘Saiyyan bina ghar soona’ (Lata Mangeshkar’s song in ‘Aangan Ki Kali’) and ‘Dard ki ragini’ (from ‘Pyaas’).” Bappi is happy to be singing and composing for 50 years. “I started in 1968. To this day, my songs are being played and remixed. Last year, Karan Johar used my ‘Tamma tamma’ song in ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’. The key to lasting so long is to constantly reinvent yourself as an artiste. My ‘Jimmy Jimmy’ song from the film ‘Disco Dancer’ has now been honoured by the World Book Of Records. “In the citation, I am described as the originator of the disco beats in India. ‘Jimmy Jimmy’ has been translated into 45 languages across the world, including Chinese, Russian and Spanish.” Bappi says he couldn’t ask for more. “God has been very kind to me.

e t i r e d N BA s t a r Kobe Bryant, who won an Oscar for his and director Glen Keanes animated short film “Dear Basketball”, has been denied entry into the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Individuals who win an Academy Award or are nominated for one are often considered for inclusion in the organisation, which numbered more than 8,000 members at the most recent count. Bryant was considered as well, and the Academy’s Short Films and Feature Animation branch actually voted in the affirmative to admit him into the branch. However, the Acad-

emy’s governors committee overruled the decision and rescinded the invitation, reports variety.com. Though the branch, through governor Bill Kroyer, argued that Bryant has expressed a desire to work in the short films space, the committee felt the Los Angeles Lakers legend needed to show evidence of a larger career in the field before being allowed to represent it as a member of the organisation. The Academy has been criticised of late for a perceived lowering of standards in its increasingly robust invite lists, which have been bullish on inclusion and diversity following a few years of #OscarsSoWhite controversy. Some have argued that a number of recent invitees have not amassed a career deserving of an Academy invite, but this marks a rather high-profile example of the organisation, at least outwardly, maintaining a focus on those standards, regardless of celebrity.

You don’t have to be finished to tell your story: Priyanka

ctress Priyanka Chopra, who is writing her memoir titled “Unfinished”, always wanted to write a book but wanted to wait to do a bit more in life. But now she feels she doesn’t have to be “finished” to tell her story. “The feeling of checking something off your ‘bucket list’ gives you an indescribable sense of accomplishment...and that’s where I am in this moment,” Priyanka posted on Instagram on Wednesday. The post came a day after the official announcement of the memoir, which will be published simultaneously in India, the US and Britain next year. Priyanka, whose foray into the entertainment industry began at the age of 17 when she won Miss India and went on to win Miss World, followed by Bollywood and now Hollywood, hopes to inspire people with the feelings she during the course of what has been

a “fascinating” journey. “I’ve always wanted to write a book, but the timing never felt right. With each opportunity that presented itself, my first instinct was always to wait...because I wasn’t (and I’m still not) finished. “I wanted to do more, live more, and achieve more, before putting pen to paper and exposing things I’ve always kept private to the world,” added the actress, who currently features in “Quantico”. “Unfinished” is a collection of personal essays, stories, and observations by the Unicef Goodwill Ambassador. She hopes to spread the message: “If I can... anyone can.” When Priyanka looks back on her life as a public person, she says she feels “super proud of what I’ve done and where my life is right now”. “I’ve realised you don’t have to be finished to tell your story, and that sometimes life’s greatest lessons are taught along the ride... when you’re still figuring things out...when you’re ‘Unfinished’,” she added. The memoir will be published by Penguin Random House India. “So glad to be starting a new chapter (literally) with the amazing teams at Penguin Random House in the US, India, and around the world,” Priyanka said.

ictoria Beckham is not letting those divorce rumors get

to her. On Tuesday, the fashion designer spoke candidly at the Forbes Women’s Summit in New York about how she balances her successful clothing line, being a wife and raising four kids. “I try really, really hard. I try hardest to be the best mother,” the 44year-old told the audience, according to Hello!. “I am trying to be the best wife and the best professional,” she continued. “When I get home I try to put the phone down and spend time with the children and spend time with David.” Earlier this month, a rep for Beckham and the former pro soccer player slammed reports that the couple—who share sons Brooklyn, 19, Romeo, 15, Cruz, 13 and daughter Harper, 6—were divorcing. “It’s a crock of s--t,”

Ranbir says ‘falling in love is the greatest thing’

said the spokeswoman, according to the Sun. Another rep for the pair, who have been married since 1999, said: “There is no statement due, no divorce, and a lot of Chinese whispers and fake social media news.” “This is all very bizarre and an embarrassing waste of time.”

As the rumors went around, Beckham posted a loving message to David, 43, on her Instagram. “Morning cuddles x So much love. We love and miss u @davidbeckham,” Beckham captioned a picture of her holding onto daughter, Harper on June 8. (FoxNews)

Pete Davidson finally confirms engagement to Ariana Grande

anbir Kapoor says he feels falling in love if the best feeling ever, so much that everything feels a hundred times better. The actor, who is in a relationship with Alia Bhatt, recently revealed what it feels like to be in love with her. Ranbir gave an interview to Film Companion’s Anupama Chopra where she asked him about his acting process, choosing the right films and about falling in love once again. “You seem to fall in love a lot. Does it complicate the craft ever?,” she asked him as the audience laughed at her question. Ranbir, however, said that it only adds to his craft. “Falling in love is the greatest thing in the world. When you fall in love, everything is great. Water tastes like sherbet and you seem like you are Uma Thurman. You feel great. Who doesn’t wanna be in love?,” he said. He said falling in love changes him as a human being and that acting is only his profession and if he feels good about himself, he does better at his job.

fter weeks of speculation and a lack of confirmation, Pete Davidson appeared on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” to confirm Hollywood’s least well-kept secret. He’s engaged to Ariana Grande. The star appeared alongside Robert Pattinson on the late night show where the host wasted no time getting into the issue on everyone’s mind. “It’s good to see you pal,” Fallon says in the clip below. “Now, you know that you didn’t have to get engaged to Ariana Grande to come on our show, right?” “But I did, though!” Davidson said to thunderous applause from the crowd. Despite Grande doing very little to hide a new en-

gagement ring, neither star directly confirmed reports that they were engaged until now. “I feel like I won a contest, it’s so sick,” Davidson told Fallon. “It’s f---ing lit Jimmy.” “It’s so funny walking down the street, because dudes are walking by and they’re like,” the star continued, tipping his hat. “Did you ever see that Derek Jeter commercial, when he was like retiring and everybody just tips their hat? Some dude came up to me and was like, ‘dude, you gave me hope!” Although it surprised fans that Grande and Davidson, both 24, reportedly got engaged less than a month after news broke they were dating, the couple just had an instant connection.

The All England Club revealed their initial wild card picks for the tournament, which starts on Monday, July 2, with eight British players selected for the two singles draws.

Shehzad fails dope test; risks suspension KARACHI, Jun 21 (PTI): Pakistan opener Ahmed Shehzad has failed a dope test and risks a minimum suspension of three to six months for violating the anti-doping laws. Shehzad, 26, who has played 13 Tests, 81 ODIs and 57 T20 internationals, will face an inquiry committee formed by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). “He has tested positive in the initial test but the process has to be completed before we can make any official statements,” a reliable source in the board said. The source confirmed Shehzad had tested positive for a dope test taken during the Pakistan Cup one-day tournament held in AprilMay in Faisalabad. PCB confirmed the development in a tweet but refrained from identifying the player. PCB source said that as per the WADA and ICC anti-doping regulations, random dope tests were carried out regularly in domestic cricket as well. “The board has a zero tolerance policy on this issue but at the same time it is fair to give a proper chance to the player to defend himself,” he added. In the past, Pakistan cricketers including Shoaib Akhtar, Muhammad Asif, Abdul Rehman and Reza Hasan have also tested positive in dope tests.

Chandimal appeals against ban GROS ISLET, Jun 21 (PTI): Sri Lanka skipper Dinesh Chandimal on Thursday appealed against the ICC’s decision to suspend him from the third Test of the ongoing tour of the West Indies due to balltampering. Chandimal had been charged by the ICC for ball-tampering during the second Test here after video evidence suggested that he applied saliva to the ball shortly after putting what appeared to be a sweet in his mouth. He pleaded not guilty to the charge, before attending the hearing where match referee Javagal Srinath, after utilising the time available to him under the code to make his decision, handed Chandimal the maximum punishment, which was two suspension points and a fine of 100 percent of his match fee. “Dinesh Chandimal has appealed against the match referee’s findings that saw him suspended for one Test after being found guilty of changing the condition of the ball,” the ICC said on its twitter handle. He was found guilty of changing the condition of the ball during the second day’s play of the second

Test, which concluded here on Monday. During a hearing held at the end of the Test, in which video evidence was used in the presence of the Sri Lanka team management as well as the match officials, Chandimal admitted putting something in his mouth but wasn’t able to recall what it was. Commenting on his decision, Srinath had said: “After reviewing the footage of the incident, it is clear

that Dinesh applied an artificial substance to the ball, namely saliva containing the residue of something he had in his mouth, an action which is prohibited under the ICC Code of Conduct.” ICC Chief Executive David Richardson backed the Playing Control Team, when he said: “The ICC fully supports the match officials in their decision and will continue to do so in any other such instances.”

Mbappe fires France into last 16

Kylian Mbappe celebrates with Antoine Griezmann after scoring a goal against Peru.

Y e k at e r i n b u rg , Jun 21 (Agencies): Kylian Mbappe made history as France booked their place in the World Cup’s knockout rounds with an unconvincing 1-0 Group C defeat of Peru. France were fortunate in their 2-1 opening win over Australia and they had slices of luck again at the Ekaterinburg Arena on Thursday. Mbappe’s goal, which came from close-range after Olivier Giroud’s shot took a wicked deflection to beat goalkeeper Pedro Gallese, saw the 19-year-old become the youngest player to score for France at a major international tournament.

As they did in losing narrowly to Denmark, Peru had plenty of chances, returning captain Paolo Guerrero firing at Hugo Lloris and Pedro Aquino clipping the post with a super strike from range. However, Peru were unable to find a way through and Ricardo Gareca’s side who have yet to find the net in Russia - are certain to be knocked out. Lloris was making his 100th France appearance and the goalkeeper was almost tested by an ambitious strike from Yoshimar Yotun, but the shot from the halfway line drifted wide. Antoine Griezmann had France’s first opportu-

nity in the 11th minute but Euro 2016’s top scorer fired wide, while Paul Pogba also failed to work Peru goalkeeper Gallese. Chances were flowing for France, Raphael Varane missing with a header before Gallese saved with his legs to deny Griezmann after Giroud found his strike partner with a headed pass. But France’s early intensity started to fade and Peru should have taken advantage, yet Guerrero shot straight at Lloris on the turn after Christian Cueva found him in the box. That miss proved key as Mbappe’s historic World Cup moment gave France a 34th-minute lead.

Brazil take on Costa Rica in must win clash

Neymar is pictured taking part in Brazil’s training in images posted to their official Twitter.

Sochi, Jun 21 (IANS): Neymar and Brazil will need to step up their game when they take on Costa Rica in a must win Group E FIFA World Cup clash here on Friday. Brazil drew 1-1 with Switzerland in their opener last weekend, and Neymar was much criticised for his underwhelming perfor-

mance. He was hunted down mercilessly by the Swiss, drawing 10 of Brazil’s 19 fouls, as many as some entire teams. Neymar also lacked the zip which made him the world’s most expensive footballer when French heavyweights Paris St Germain signed him from

Spanish giants FC Barcelona last August. There was an injury scare after he limped out of Tuesday’s training session with a sore ankle but to his team’s relief the forward is expected to be fit for what could be Brazil’s fourth World Cup match without a win. Costa Rica, on their part, are desperate for points after they lost their opener to Serbia. Quarter-finalists in the 2014 Brazil World Cup, Costa Rica have lost seven of their last nine matches and scored only five goals in the process. “It is going to be a difficult game as are all games in the World Cup,” Brazil attacking midfielder Philippe Coutinho was quoted as saying. “They are a good team. We saw the game against Serbia, and it was only decided through a dead ball situation. This is another opportunity for us. We need to do it, we are all focused. We are mentally strong to play a great game.”

Pogba slid Giroud into the area and when the striker’s shot looped over Gallese via a deflection off Christian Ramos, Mbappe could not miss from inside the six-yard box. Gallese prevented Lucas Hernandez from doubling the France lead as Peru ended the first half on the ropes. Peru coach Gareca sent on Anderson Santamaria and Jefferson Farfan at the break, while Samuel Umtiti shook off a dead leg, before Aquino clipped the outside of the post with a swerving drive from 25 yards. Andre Carrillo fired over the crossbar and Farfan finding the side-netting as Peru grew increasingly desperate to keep their World Cup hopes alive. Substitute Ousmane Dembele - dropped for Giroud - could have wrapped up the points in the 82nd minute but fired wide, as France appeared to have settled for a one-goal victory. With Peru’s record scorer Guerrero wasting a late free-kick, Didier Deschamps’ squad safely held on to secure their place in the knockout stages.

Muller upbeat ahead of Sweden clash Sochi, Jun 21 (Agencies): Germany are in a "vulnerable" position as the World Cup holders face a premature exit but Thomas Muller remains optimistic amid the chaos. The world champions will take on Sweden in an important Group F match in Sochi on Saturday after last week's shock loss to Mexico. With Sweden in a strong position after edging South Korea, Germany's title defence could hinge on the result at Fisht Stadium and, while the heat is on, Muller is upbeat. "We have made ourselves vulnerable. We are self-critical enough to analyse the situation, but now we must look forwards together," Muller said. "We have two important tasks in front of us. The pressure is terrifically high, but we won't win both games if we beat ourselves up internally and look for the mistakes in each other. There is nothing we want more than to be successful against Sweden, you can believe us on that," added Muller.

WC reporter sexually assaulted on live TV

M o s c ow, J u n 2 1 (IANS): A female journalist reporting at the World Cup in Russia was sexually assaulted live on air and she later posted a video of the incident on social media, the media reported. Ju l i e t h G o n z a l e z Theran, a Colombian reporter, was reporting from Saransk for German broadcaster Deutsche Welle’s Spanish news channel on June 15 when a man grabbed her breast, kissed her cheek and quickly ran off. The reporter, who was talking on camera when the incident took place, maintained her composure and finished her report. “I had been at the scene for two hours to prepare for the broadcast and there had been no interruptions. When we went live, this fan took advantage of the situation. But afterward, when I checked to see if he was still there, he was gone,” she told Deutsche Welle. After posting the video on her Instagram account, Theran called for more respect for female journalists. “We do not deserve this treatment. We are equally as professional and deserving. I share the joy of football but we must identify the limits between affection and harassment,” she wrote. The man who harassed Theran has not been identified yet.

VAR penalty hands Australia 1-1 draw against Denmark Samara, Jun 21 (Agencies): Another VAR penalty decision helped Australia to a 1-1 draw with Denmark in their World Cup Group C clash in Samara on Thursday. Denmark took the lead on seven minutes through Christian Eriksen's superb half volley, before VAR came into play as Yussuf Poulsen was adjudged to have handled from Mathew Leckie's header. Mile Jedinak stepped up to score his second of the tournament (38), and despite Australia impressing in the second half, it stayed 1-1. Australia must now win their final group game to stand a chance of qualifying for the knockout stage, with France facing Peru at 4pm in Group C's other clash on matchday two. Denmark, knowing a win would secure qualification to the knockout stages, started well, and took the lead in superb fashion. Nicolai Jorgensen's spin and assist was slammed home by Eriksen from 15 yards as the ball rose difficulty on the half volley. Jo r ge n s e n s h o u l d have made it 2-0 midway through the half, but he headed wide from Henrik Dalsgaard's right-wing cross from close range.

Australia’s Mathew Leckie battles for the ball with Denmark’s Pione Sisto during a competitive first-half in Russia.

Then came the controversy as Leckie's header hit the flailing hand of his marker Poulsen; Spanish referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz went to VAR as the ball went out of play upfield, before awarding the spot kick. Jedinak, who scored in a similar circumstance in Saturday's 2-1 defeat by France, made no mistake, slotting home after Kasper Schmeichel had attempted to put him off. Australia upped the ante in the second half,

and went closest through the commanding Aaron Mooy, whose 25-yard effort whistled just high and wide of Schmeichel's goal. Schmeichel then made two saves at the death to deny Australia, first from Daniel Arzani's angled effort, before Leckie's volley into the ground was superbly held by the Leicester goalkeeper. Denmark next face France on Tuesday in their final Group C game, while Australia will take on Peru.

Spain ride Costa goal to down gritty Iran Kazan, Jun 21 (IANS): Diego Costa scored a scrappy second-half winner to help Spain edge past doughty Iran in a key Group B FIFA World Cup game here on Wednesday. After a barren firsthalf where Spain were left frustrated as Iran defended brilliantly, Costa (54th) broke the deadlock albeit in fortuitous circumstances. Costa’s neat turn and quick shot took a deflection off Iranian defender Ramin Rezaeian to beat goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand. Iran tried to launch a comeback and almost equalised when Saeid Ezatolahi’s goal was correctly ruled out because of offside by Video Assistant Referee (VAR) Vigliano Mauro. Karim Ansarifard also rifled into the side netting for the Asian side as Spain were on the tenterhooks for most parts of the second-half. This was Costa’s third goal of the tournament after netting a brace in Spain’s rip-roaring 3-3 draw against Portugal in the group opener. Spain are now level on points with Portugal in Group B, while Iran are

in third and Morocco are eliminated following their loss earlier in the day. In need of a win after the draw, Spain had to wait for more than 20 minutes to get their first shot on target. David Silva, who saw a lot of the ball until then as his team dominated possession, sent a free kick straight into the arms of keeper Beiranvand in the 25th minute for Spain’s first

shot on goal. Manchester City’s Silva had at least a couple of more chances to draw first blood. First, he fired over the bar at the half-hour mark and in the dying minutes of the half saw his shot bounce just wide of the far post off an Iranian defender. With just one shot on target, Spain were bottled up throughout the half by a sturdy Iran defence. Spain looked to up

the ante after change of ends with Sergio Busquets unleashing a rasping longrange strike that forced Beiranvand into a brilliant double save. Minutes later, Ansarifard latched onto a poor clearance and let loose a stinging effort that fizzed wide of the left post. Costa then was in the right spot at the right time to swivel sharply and then get the lucky deflection to break Iran hearts.

No issues with Lukaku: Hazard

Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard.

M o s c ow, J u n 2 1 (Agencies): Belgium’s Eden Hazard has played down the comments he made about team-mate Romelu Lukaku after their 3-0 win over Panama. Dries Mertens put Belgium ahead just after the break before a Lukaku double sealed the win in Sochi. Belgium were criticised for their first-half

performance and Hazard said he had to speak to his team-mate at half-time to talk about how he felt he was “hiding up front”. He later admitted he did not “regret what he said”. Hazard said, “As the captain, even if I am not the captain I can talk, on the pitch I try to give my best, if I can help players to be better - I will.” “I just told Romelu

[Lukaku] if we want to win the game we need him, not just as a scorer to score goals, but we want him to be involved in the build-up. We just talked normally and we won the game in the end so it was fine.” Hazard had told the BBC, “it was not easy playing with a man missing” but when he was in the game he created some magic”. They face England on June 28 in their final group game something the Chelsea striker is looking forward too. “You never know what can happen against England - they have good players, they are strong. We saw against Tunisia they can create a lot of chances,” Hazard added. “If we win against Tunisia it is going to be easier for us. But I think against England it will be a good game to play. We will see after the game. To play against my second country is always good and against France so it is all in our hands to do something good.”
