SHILLONG, JUN 22: Veteran Congress leader Martin Danggo, who quit as member of the Meghalaya assembly on Thursday night, resigned from the primary membership of the Congress party on Friday to join the ruling National People’s Party (NPP). In his resignation letter to the Congress president Celestine Lyngdoh, Danggo said that he had resigned as member of the assembly and the party “as per the desire of my (danggo) people”. Home Minister James Sangma said that Danggo, who had been elected to the State Assembly for the straight five-consecutive times from Ranikor assembly constituency, will be joining the NPP and seeking re-election from
the constituency. On June 12, several Congress members from South West Khasi Hills district’s Ranikor block resigned en masse and joined the ruling NPP in the presence of chief minister Conrad Sangma.

Ranikor, bordering India-Bangladesh border, is around 121 km from Shillong Following Danggo’s resignation, the opposition Congress has reduced its strength to 20 in the 60-member Meghalaya assembly.
‘Credibility of judiciary was occasionally in danger’ Govt bans sale of fish treated with formalin NEW DELHI, JUN 22 (AGENCIeS): Justice J Chelameswar, who demitted office today, has disapproved of the Centre’s decision not to elevate Justice K M Joseph to the Supreme Court, terming the action as “not sustainable”. Justice Chelameswar, who had held an unprecedented presser along with three other senior Supreme Court judges to highlight the alleged discrimination in allocation of cases to benches, said that the credibility of the highest judiciary was “occasionally” in danger. “I wish and pray that he (Joseph, the Uttarakhand Chief Justice) becomes a judge of the Supreme Court. I have not stalled it. I have been repeatedly asking for it. The collegium has unanimously reiterated its recommendation,” Chelameswar told news outlets. He termed Justice Joseph as an “outstanding
J Chelameswar
judge” and said he should have been elevated to the apex court and the collegium must reiterate his name to the Centre. He told NDTV that “the government should not process the recommendations (for elevation of judges) for months together. That will lead to a situation where appointments are not made, vacancies are not filled. All this will result in more and more pendency.” On the issue of his virtual revolt against Chief Justice of India Dipak Mis-
ra, the judge said he did not regret holding the press conference on January 12. Justice Chelameswar rued the fact that though many former judges had hailed him for his decision to highlight the deficiencies in the functioning of the apex court but right-thinking persons were not coming forward. Asked by India Today channel whether he thought that the credibility of the Indian judiciary was in danger, he said “occasionally, yes”. However replying to questions by ‘The Print’, Chelameswar said he did not think the judiciary was in danger and recalled his time as a law student during the Emergency to drive home the point. Referring to the key bone of contention between him and Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra, he acknowledged that the CJI was the master of roster but there
was a problem with regard to allocation of cases which needed to be sorted out. “I don’t think any problem can be resolved overnight. The problem still remains and then an attempt is made,” he told the India Today news channel. Justice Chelameswar said he was “surprised” when his decision to set up a five-judge bench comprising senior-most judges to hear a case against the CJI was overturned. He said the matter (Prasad Education Trust case) was a “serious” one as a former high court judge was arrested in this case leading to registration of an FIR by the CBI. Speaking to CNNN ew s 1 8 , Ju s t i c e C h e lameswar acknowledged that there are certain judges who are hearing a dozen Constitution Bench case while there are some other judges who never get the opportunity at all.

Rejoinder to news item DIMAPUR: In response to the news item “Group of people attack Model village” published in sections of the local dailies, Makri GB & party of Viswema village have issued a clarification. In a rejoinder, V. Angami secretary Makri GB & party of Viswema village claimed that in 1951, a plot of land measuring 25 acres between 6th and 7th mile along the NH-29, Dimapur, was allotted to Makri GB & party (Viswema Village) and Vikedo Angami & four others (Phesama Village) by S.J Duncan, the then Deputy Commissioner of the Naga Hills. As per the allotment order, the land was divided equally between the two groups and demarcated by the competent authority February 9, 1982, the secretary said. V. Angami added “in total defiance to the demarcation order, Lt. Lhouzekuo, one of the co-members in Phesama group, filed a case in court in 1982, claiming the entire land of 25 acres.” He claimed the Gauhati High Court (Kohima Bench) vide order No. M.A (F) No. 1(K) of 1998 dated 27.04.2005
passed judgment in favour of Makri GB & party of Viswema Village, pronouncing Makri GB & party as the rightful owner of 12½ acres of the suit land. However, V. Angami said that “Lt. Alhou Angami, s/o Lt. Lhouzekuo Angami filed a case in the court of GPRN (I-M). This led to another long legal battle, which included hearing and taking statements of both the parties, examination of official documents and spot verification of the suit land, etc.” On the May 3, 2018, he said the GPRN vide Order No. V-PO/GPRN/ CASES/2018/-4, dated: Oking, the 3rd May 2018, passed judgment in favor of Makri GB & Party. V Angami alleged that, in total violation to the GPRN judgment order, the other party allowed a Muslim group to build a temporary mosque on Makri GB & party’s portion of land. He said that the encroachers were informed of the order and were repeatedly asked to dismantle the house. Since they failed to do so, Angami claimed that they dismantled the house on June 9. In this regard, V
Angami clarified that Makri GB & party, at no point of time warned the villagers to vacate the village within two months, as alleged by the 7th Mile model village authorities. “We simply explained the courts judgment order to those illegal settlers within our portion of land,” he said. It further asked as to which concerned authority the 7th mile model village council subscribes to. V Angami further stated that the issue was purely between two co-owners of the suit land (ie Makri GB & party of Viswema village and late Lhouzekuo’s family). He further said that Makri GB & party will continue to access and use their forefathers hard earned land any time, any day, month and year. And in doing so, if anything happens to or befell any member of Makri GB & party, including Dr. Zhaneio of Viswema village, V. Angami said the four signatories who issued the press release-- Imkong Tzudir, Kevi Meru, Zasizhalie Tacü and Asezo Naleo of 7th Mile Model village will be held solely responsible.

‘Press freedom, a tango between rights & regulations’
Staff Reporter
DIMAPUR, JUN 22 (NPN): In an engaging lecture on “Freedom of Press and its Restrictions” with reference to Article 19 Clause-2 of the Constitution of India, publisher of The Morung Express and expert in conflict and peace studies, Dr. Aküm Longchari, likened the freedom of the press to a “tango between rights and regulations”. The first annual lecture of Eastern Christian College (ECC) Dimapur was organised by the department of political science, ECC Dimapur at the college auditorium on Friday. Resource person, Dr. Aküm was of the opinion that freedom of the press was a right which was legally acceptable. However, it also had numerous restrictions within the same framework and presented a scenario of a tango between rights and restrictions. He said while principles and values of freedom of speech and expression and free press were universal, their application was very contextual and was essentially shaped by people’s history, geography, culture and politics. Dr. Aküm said though
Dr. Aküm Longchari (NP)
Constitution of India does not expressly mention the freedom of press, it was, however, evident that freedom of the press was included in the freedom of speech and expression in the fundamental rights. He pointed out that though freedom of the press does not have a specific constitutional provision it does, however, for all practical and functional purposes enjoy all the rights, responsibilities and reasonable restrictions enjoyed by freedom of speech and expression. Citing examples of several judgments passed by the Supreme Court of India and other lower courts, Dr. Aküm said freedom of the press was both qualitative and quantitative which included
more than merely serving as a “neutral conduit of information between the people and their elected leader or as a neutral form of debate”. He said the real emphasis lay in whether the freedom of press had constitutional significance in achieving a free, fair and genuine democracy. While exercising the freedom of the press, he said it was essential for the press to remember to responsibly demonstrate the freedom of the press while serving the public interest. “While carrying out its functions the press needs to create a harmonious balance between citizen’s right to privacy and the public’s right to information”, said Dr. Aküm. The resource person while deliberating on the restrictions through Article 19 (2) in the Constitution of India asserted that these restrictions by implication also refer to the freedom of the press. The press being the fourth pillar of democracy, he said, needed to judiciously exercise its rights and responsibilities. However, given its broad scope, Dr. Aküm said the practice of press freedom was usually interpreted and applied differently by different people and added that the press
needed to vigilantly safeguard against any misuse of the freedom of the press. He then said the freedom needs to be included as a specific fundamental right under Article 19 of the Constitution of India and its parameters clearly demarcated. I n t h e c o n t ex t o f Nagaland, former Editor of The Morung Express pointed out that media in Nagaland functions under challenging conditions of militarization and protracted armed conflict, violence of different forms, where corruption was rampant, widespread and systemic. He lamented that all this was supported by a culture of impunity and sustained by a silent majority while the day to day existence of the media was impended by the inadequacy of basic public infrastructure. Concluding his lecture, Dr. Aküm said, “to empower the press to effectively assume its role as the fourth pillar of democracy there is a need for a new imagination and a clear political will to work towards creating a historical opportunity in the midst of an interplay of contradictions where the press is constantly in a tango between rights and restrictions”. Earlier, in a keynote
address, HoD department of political science ECC, Impangsangla Jamir, said though freedom of speech and expression including freedom of press was enjoyed by citizens, there were other difficulties faced by the press. She said that the first curtailment of the press was enforced in India when the then Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi imposed an emergency in 1975. Impangsangla also pointed out marked increase in the number of attacks on journalists by police and unidentified gunmen, and the success of the press despite these difficulties. Asserting that freedom of expression does not guarantee complete
freedom to the press, individual or group to express themselves freely, Impangsangla was of the opinion that Article 19 has some “shades of grey”. She then asserted that for a healthy democracy it was imperative for public to be able to rely on free media. During the interactive session, Dr. Aküm while replying to queries asserted the need for an independent media and strong and independent judiciary in Nagaland. He also highlighted the need for jour nalism schools. T h e l e c t u r e wa s chaired by D. Athikho, invocation was said by assistant professor (department of English), E. Emilo.

HRD ministry collects first hand report as MU impasse continues
Correspondent
IMPHAL, Jun 22: Union Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD) sent a joint secretary (department of higher education) to take stock of the unrest prevailing in the Manipur University. Manipur University, a Central institution since May 30, has been seeing unrest following seething protests from students demanding replacement of the incumbent vice-chancellor prof Adiya Prasad Pandey. State chief minister N Biren, in a facebook post, claimed that joint secretary GC Hosur was sent by Union HRD minister Prakash Javedkar after they had a telephonic talk. Soon after his arrival at Imphal, the joint secretary first met chief minister at the latter’s secretariat and discussed the prevailing crisis in the university. “After a telephonic discussion with hon’ble HRD minister Shri Prakash Javedkar about the unrest in the Manipur University, Jt. Secretary HRD ministry came to Imphal today (Thursday) and met me in my office. We discussed on the present crisis in the Manipur University,” the chief minis-

ter posted in his facebook. After the meeting, the joint secretary further met vice chancellor prof Adiya Prasad Pandey before leaving Imphal today. He also met some leaders of the agitating Manipur University Students’ Union (MUSU). A delegation of MUSU led by its president Mayanglangbam Dayaman met the joint secretary today morning in Imphal’s Hotel Classic Grande where the joint secretary stayed. During the meeting, the joint secretary informed the student leaders that he had come to take stock of prevailing situation in the MU and not to resolve the impasse.
A MUSU leader who took part in the meeting said that while sticking firm on their stand to not retreat until the VC is removed, they had submitted the memorandum which they had already also submitted to the President of India, Prime Minister, Union HRD minister, state Governor who is the rector of the university, state chief minister and other concerns. After a patient hearing, the joint secretary said that to find a suitable replacement of the VC would take time and the academic atmosphere would be severely disturbed, he asserted. On the other hand, the visiting joint secretary rejected a request for meet-
ing with representatives of Manipur University Teachers’ Association (MUTA) which had already joined the protest after the vicechancellor allegedly dishonoured the association’s suggestions. MUTA has also recently registered a protest against the VC while he remained silent over the charges leveled by the students against him even as the teachers’ body pressed him to clarify on it. Reports said that joint secretary rejected the purpose appointment with MUTA leaders saying that he has no desire to talk with them. Sources in Manipur University said that the joint secretary came to collect first-hand information relating to the agitation. In the meantime, nonteaching employees of the university today marched a peace rally inside the campus of the university drawing attention of the concerned authorities to intervene and end the impasse immediately. After carrying out the rally under the aegis of the Manipur University Staff Association, the staff staged a sit-in-protest inside the campus before dispersing.

The chief minister was speaking in the state Assembly in response to a query by CPIM) legislator Badal Chowdhury on the revised
fee structure of Tripura Medical College, managed by the Society for Tripura Medical College and Dr BRAM Teaching Hospital. “The government will surely stand behind those who could not pay the revised fee structure, if he or she is having merit,” Deb said.

Hapur lynching: UP police say no question of cover up
An injured man lynched being the locals over the suspicion of cow slaughter, is being dragged by locals in the presence of police personnel, in Hapur on June 18, 2018. (@ Twitter Photo via PTI)
Hapur , Jun 22 (Agencies): Less than an hour after the families of 45-yearold Qasim, beaten to death by a mob, and Samiyuddin, severely injured, alleged an attempt by the Uttar Pradesh Police to cover up the incident - that took place allegedly over cow slaughter rumours in western’s UP’s Hapur district - a senior police officer has said there is no question of a cover up. Earlier this evening,
the families of both men held a press conference in Delhi, saying the attack on the men was a clear case of hate crime and not road rage as the police was suggesting, NDTV reported. “I went to the hospital and asked my brother about a stain on his thumb after I noticed it, he told me that he has no memory... the police wrote something and were asking us to sign, we were reluctant and that’s when
they would have taken by brother’s thumb impression”, alleged Mehruddin, the brother of the man fighting for his life in hospital. But the UP Police say this is not true. “Qasim, the man killed, his brother gave a complaint in writing where he spoke about the incident involving bikes and road rage. An investigation is still on. If either family files another complaint we will include
it in the FIR”, said Anand Kumar, the UP Police officer in charge of law and order in the state. The two men - Qasim and Samayuddin - were assaulted by a mob on Monday, about 70 kilometres from Delhi. A photograph that went viral shows Qasim, being dragged by locals as three policemen watch. The police have apologised, and say the photograph was taken a few minutes after they arrived and tried to take the victims of vigilante justice to hospital. “Because of non-availability of an ambulance at that moment, the victim was carried in the manner. Admittedly, the policemen should have been more sensitive in their conduct”, said a statement from the Director General of Police (Headquarters). A one-minute video that emerged on Wednesday showed Qasim lying in a field, his clothes almost torn off. He can be heard writhing in pain. A voice off camera warns the attackers, also off camera, to back off and give some water to him. “You have hit him, assaulted him, enough is enough. Please understand. There are consequences”, says the voice.

Five activists gang-raped in Jharkhand, assault filmed PATNA, Jun 22 (Agencies/IANS): Five women between the ages of 20 and 35 who were performing a street play in Jharkhand were abducted and then gang-raped in a forest on Tuesday, the police said, adding that the assault was also allegedly filmed on cell-phones, NDTV reported. “We are not ruling out the possibility of the involvement of trafficking gangs and are investigating all aspects,” police Ashwini Kumar Sinha told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. Rape has been confirmed by medical tests, the results of which were shared in court today. Nobody has been arrested yet; the police are offering Rs. 50,000 as an award for any information that could help identify the attackers. The women said in their complaint that they were performing a play to raise awareness about human trafficking in the largely tribal Khunti district of Jharkhand when they were abducted. A second police complaint or FIR filed by Sanjay Kumar, the leader of the troupe performing the play, blames a local priest along with unidentified others of al-
lowing the abduction of the women. T h e wo m e n wo r k for Asha Kiran, an NGO which is supported by a local Christian missionary group, said police officer Rajesh Prasad to news agency AFP. Police sources said that troupes like the one that was targeted are being used by some local officials in an attempt to turn locals against Pathalgadi, an anti-establishment selfrule movement popular in
several tribal villages. The sources said they are looking into whether the attack may have been caused by this tension. On Tuesday, unidentified men picked up nine activists during the street play being performed in the Kochang village and drove them into a dense forest, where the men were beaten up and the women raped, police officer Ashwini Kumar Sinha said to news agency Reuters.
NCW takes cognizance of women activists’ gang-rape
The National Commission for Women (NCW) on Friday said it has taken suo motu cognizance of the incident of abduction and gang-rape of five women activists in Jharkhand’s Khunti district. “Considering the gravity of the matter, the Commission has also constituted a three member fact-finding team, to look into the matter and investigate into the case in accordance with the procedure laid down in Section 10 (1) read with Section 10 (4) of the National Commission for Women Act, 1990 and submit its recommendation to the Commission,” NCW said in a statement. The organisation has also written to the Jharkhand police chief to ensure a proper investigation and to apprise the Commission about action taken in the matter at the earliest. According to police, the incident happened on June 19 where five women - four girls and a married woman - were abducted and gang-raped at gunpoint by at least half a dozen men while they were on a visit to to R.C. Mission School in Kochang village. The women were engaged in the campaign through nukkad natak (street plays) in the area creating awareness on migration and human trafficking.
Soz’s claims on Kashmir ‘cheap gimmick’ to sell book: Cong Kharge made Cong in-charge of Maha New Delhi, Jun 22 (PTI): Senior Congress Saifuddin Soz was Friday at the centre of a row over his comment supporting Pervez Musharraf that “independence” is the first choice of Kashmiris with the party dismissing it as a stray remark and “cheap gimmick” to promote his soon-to-be-released book. The BJP also hit out at Soz and asked Rahul Gandhi if he would take action against him. In his book, Soz has said that “independence” is the first choice of Kashmiris as he supported former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf ’s assessment in this regard. “Musharraf had explained that if Kashmiris were given a chance to exercise their free will, they would prefer to be independent. In fact, this assessment of Musharraf seems to be correct even today,” he has written in the book. Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala rejected Soz’s contention and said that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and will continue to be so and that is an incontro-
Truckers ‘postpone’ strike following request from centre Kolkata/New Delhi, June 22 (IANS): Truckers on Friday “temporarily postponed” their ongoing indefinite nationwide strike following a request from the Central government as Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari was out of station. The strike, that began from June 18, had been called from June 18 against the high diesel prices, high toll rates and a sharp hike of third party insurance premium, and had entered the fifth day on Friday. In a media release, All India Confederation of Goods Vehicle Owners’ Association -- which had called the strike -- said the decision was taken following a telephone call from the Centre, which asked the strikers to come for discussion after June 27. “We have received telephone call from (the) Central ministry, that since the Minister is not in station till June 27, (they have requested us) to call off the strike and come for discussion after June 27,” said AICOGOA General Secretary Rajendra Singh and President B. Channa Reddy.

vertible and unquestionable truth. “Congress party and every rightful citizen of India reject such content as a gimmick to sell a book that is yet to come into the market. There is incontrovertible unquestionable truth and that is J&K was an integral part of India, is an integral part of India, and will always remain an integral part of India,” he told reporters. The Congress leader said that many people will make many statements “either to sell book or to gain cheap publicity through friends of the media”. Soz meanwhile said the remarks made by him are his personal opinion and they have nothing to do with the party and should
not be linked to politics. He, however, maintained that the Kashmir issue can be resolved not by using force but only through dialogue. Holding the Modi government responsible for the current state of affairs in Jammu and Kashmir, he hoped that a new government can be formed if some people from the PDP switch sides and come together with the National Conference and the Congress. Soz also favoured talks with Pakistan and said that both the neighbouring countries cannot be enemies and need to talk with each other. On the statement made by Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad that civilians should not be killed while carrying out operations against militants in Jammu and Kashmir, Surjewala said it was in support of the common people of the state and should not be viewed as something which is “antinational”. Asked about what action the Congress would initiate against Soz, Surjewala said, “Pradesh Congress Committee of J&K will take

an appropriate action and decide on the issue”. He cited statements of former finance minister Yashwant Sinha made in Srinagar and by BJP veteran L K Advani on Mohammed Ali Jinnah to hit out at the BJP. “We have also seen in the past how BJP’s the then deputy chief minister Nirmal Singh made a public statement saying that they would have perhaps told security forces to not take action if BJP-PDP government knew that Burhan Wani, dreaded terrorist, was inside,” he said. Surjewala also took a dig at Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, saying while the prime minister invited the ISI which is respon-
sible for terrorist attacks to investigate the Pathankot air base attack by terrorists, the BJP chief expressed confidence in the ISI. The Congress leader cited the remark made by former chief minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed in the presence of Modi, during his swearingin thanking separatists and Pakistan and not the security forces and election commission, for formation of the government in Jammu and Kashmir. “We also saw as to how PDP-BJP government made Asifa Andrabi - the poster girl for ‘Beti Bacho Beti Padhao’ in J&K - while she also went to Pakistan and addressed public rallies with terrorists,” Surjewala said.
New Delhi, Jun 22 (PTI): Congress president Rahul Gandhi Friday made some key appointments in several states with Mallikarjun Kharge made the AICC general secretary in-charge of Maharashtra affairs. Kharge is the leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha and replaces Mohan Prakash, who ceases to be a party general secretary after almost a decade. After Kharge’s new appointment, there is speculation within the party over his continuation as Leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha and who would be entrusted with the key responsibility in his place in that case. Kharge is also the chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC),
an important committee of Parliament that looks into public audits, including those of the CAG and issues a report of its findings subsequent to a government budget audit. The Congress also appointed three AICC secretaries for Maharashtra. A statement from AICC general secretary organisation Ashok Gehlot said these include Sonal Patel from Gujarat, Ashish Dua from Haryana and Sampath Kumar from Telangana. Gandhi also appointed former Congress Seva Dal chief Mahendra Joshi and
former union minister J D Seelam as AICC secretaries attached with the general secretary, organisation. He also appointed Shashi Kant Sharma as AICC joint secretary attached with the general secretary, in-charge of Organisation. In another statement, Gehlot said the Congress chief has also appointed Christopher Tilak from Tamil Nadu and C D Meyyappan from Tamil Nadu as AICC secretaries for Andhra Pradesh with immediate effect.

Packaging Yoga
ll institutions both private and government celebrated Yoga Day on June 21 which has become an official programme since 2015, in line with prime minister Narendra Modi’s efforts to popularise the ancient Indian practice across the world and which is today a global event titled ‘International Yoga Day’ every year. Modi also pushed for the annual event to be held worldwide after winning power in 2014, with the lifestyle industry centered on the ancient physical and spiritual discipline estimated to be worth around $80 billion. Pictures on social media showed participants braving rising mercury levels and unhealthy air quality in some places to spotlight yoga. The ministry of human resource development issued directives to Schools under the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to celebrate World Yoga Day compulsorily in their respective states and institutional premises. The Modi government, which has successfully created an image of itself as the purveyor of Hindu culture has also formed a committee to promote a more “nationalist” narrative of history where Hindu rulers and icons are given their “proper place”. Yoga has its origin in ancient India as written in the Vedas, around five thousand years ago. The ancient texts do not suggest that Yoga is of any particular religion but a series of exercises that harmonise the mental, physical and spiritual planes. The controversy over Yoga was precipitated by the unnecessary hype created by the Centre which wanted to get credit for the “achievement” of having contributed to the declaration of International Yoga Day on June 21. Along with it came the various gurus and yogis with their unmistakable saffron robes and invoking religious chants. That’s when the idea backfired in India because Yoga was used as another symbol of the ideology of the party and organisation jointly ruling the nation. Yoga day was not a problem in Nagaland but it became one when the Centre insisted that the event be observed on June 21,2015 even though it was Sunday. For Christians Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest from every official work and at least accepted as that. This time, Yoga Day passed off without much protest since June 21 was a Thursday. In general, people in Nagaland are not so concerned with Yoga as no one objects to those who practise it for health benefits. However the influential church reacted when the Modi government declared Christian religious days such as Good Friday and Christmas for official programmes. Thus, when the centre asked all states to observe Yoga Day on June 21,2015 which was a Sunday, the majority Christian states including Nagaland were greatly piqued. The strong reactions were a consequence of the Modi government hurting Christian sentiments earlier by declaring judge’s conference on Good Friday and Good Governance Day on Christmas. Yoga is an unassuming, spiritual, and for some, a faithful religious practice but in most parts of the world , it is a secular, multi-billion dollar industry old. It may be compared with Karate or Kungfu or Judo, popular martial arts which originate from mostly Buddhist cultures but today they are like any sports. Any secular government would have ensured that Yoga was promoted as an exercise without the symbolisms.
DailyDevotion The Unchanging Law of Judgment With what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. —Matthew 7:2 This statement is not some haphazard theory, but it is an eternal law of God. Whatever judgment you give will be the very way you are judged. There is a difference between retaliation and retribution. Jesus said that the basis of life is retribution— “with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.” If you have been shrewd in finding out the shortcomings of others, remember that will be exactly how you will be measured. The way you pay is the way life will pay you back. This eternal law works from God’s throne down to us (see Psalm 18:25-26). Romans 2:1 applies it in even a more definite way by saying that the one who criticizes another is guilty of the very same thing. God looks not only at the act itself, but also at the possibility of committing it, which He sees by looking at our hearts. To begin with, we do not believe the statements of the Bible. For instance, do we really believe the statement that says we criticize in others the very things we are guilty of ourselves? The reason we see hypocrisy, deceit, and a lack of genuineness in others is that they are all in our own hearts. The greatest characteristic of a saint is humility, as evidenced by being able to say honestly and humbly, “Yes, all those, as well as other evils, would have been exhibited in me if it were not for the grace of God. Therefore, I have no right to judge.” Jesus said, “Judge not, that you be not judged” (Matthew 7:1). He went on to say, in effect, “If you do judge, you will be judged in exactly the same way.” Who of us would dare to stand before God and say, “My God, judge me as I have judged others”? We have judged others as sinners— if God should judge us in the same way, we would be condemned to hell. Yet God judges us on the basis of the miraculous atonement by the Cross of Christ.

Women helpline 181: a gift to the women of Nagaland
A
re you a victim of domestic violence, sexual abuse, cyber crimes or any other form of violence? Have you faced any kind of sexual harassment at workplace? Or are you seeking information on Women Empowerment schemes and programmes? Have you had difficulty accessing the appropriate help/ services in such times? DIAL 181 – the Women Helpline (WHL) Nagaland. It is a 24hour emergency response service exclusively designed to support all women affected by violence both in public and private sphere, through referrals, linking you to the appropriate authorities such as the Sakhi - One Stop Centre, Ambulance/ Hospitals, Police, Legal Services, etc., depending on your need. We see, we hear and we come across various forms of violence happening against women within or outside our State. Global estimates published by the World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that about 1 in 3 (35%) women worldwide have experienced either physical and or sexual intimate partner violence or nonpartner sexual violence in their lifetime. From the National Family Health Survey 4 (2015-16) report for Nagaland, we get an insight that “among women aged 15-49 in Nagaland, 15 percent of them have experienced physical or sexual violence. Among those who experienced physical violence since age 15, the most common perpetrator for ever-married women was their husband (74%). Overall, 13 percent of ever-married women have experienced spousal physical or sexual violence from their current husband or, if not currently married, from their most recent husband. 10 percent have reported spousal emotional violence.” Of this, only 14 percent of women who have experienced physical or sexual violence by anyone have sought help. About three-fourths of women (74%) have neither sought help nor told anyone about the violence. Women need security. They need assistance. Women need to feel safe in today’s societal life. Indeed! And there is help for every woman who is facing violence. There is help when she needs any kind of assistance. The Universalization of Women Helpline Scheme (181) Nagaland, along with the SakhiOne Stop Centre Dimapur, under the Ministry of Women and Child Development, Government of India, was launched by the Hon’ble Governor of Nagaland on 23rd June, 2016. The State Resource Centre for Women (SRCW) Nagaland is the implementing agency in the State. Today marks the completion of two years of rendering its services to the women of the State. The WHL is integrated with the One Stop Centre, situated in Kohima and Dimapur to provide integrated support and assistance to all women affected by violence. Women facing physical, sexual, emotional, psychological and economic abuse, irrespective of
O
age, class, caste, education status, marital status, race and culture are facilitated with support and redressal, and they are provided with specialized services. The Women Helpline also provides information about appropriate support services, and women centric government schemes and programmes available to women. Since its inception, the Helpline has been providing emergency response service to a number of women who have faced violence. A survivor of domestic violence who had suffered for several years called 181 Women Helpline for help and assistance; her case was resolved and now her normal life with her family has been restored. The survivor has conveyed a message to all women, “With the existence of 181 Women Helpline Nagaland, women can now raise their voice”. She expressed her gratitude to the 181 for being there for her when there was no one to help and support her, and for the timely and competent services she received. A survivor of Cyber crime commented, “I was a victim of cyber crime and had silently suffered for days and nights. I came to know about the Women Helpline number ‘181’ through my sister. I dialed the number, which is toll free. They have helped me report the case to the Cyber Crime Police Station and file an FIR, and through them the culprit was caught. I am grateful to the team for not only helping me but they have also helped me come out from trauma through their professional counseling. To end, I would only say, Help is just a call away.” People from all walks of life have been calling the Women Helpline and availing information on various women centric Government Schemes and Programmes available in the State. Globally, women and girls face numerous challenges in reporting crimes and redressing grievances. So in order to best facilitate women who are victims of violence, the Women Helpline has held a series of Consultative meetings with its stakeholders. Here are a few excerpts from some of the Line Departments, who have shared their experiences with the Women Helpline 181 over the past couple of years: To begin with, Dr. AkuoSorhie, the Joint Director of National Iodine Deficiency Disorders Control Programme (NIDDCP), Department of Health and Family Welfare, Government of Nagaland observed: “Team 181 has been generating awareness campaigns throughout the State, informing and encouraging women to utilize their services in case of need. The 181 is a helpline to let women reach out in times of distress and those suffering from domestic violence. The helpline number sometimes can be misused as we the Health Department also faced the same through prank calls. However, I would encourage the WHL to take it forward to help women and girls and let them know that help is only a call away. Spread the message
that there is help on the other side and that it is safe to share their grievances because confidentiality is maintained.” Dr. AlongPongen, the psychiatrist of State Mental Health Institute, Kohima, Nagaland commented that “181 Women Helpline is a very good initiative of the Government. The 181 Women Helpline Nagaland is pro-active and a good support system to women in distress. We have good experience working with the Women Helpline especially in cases of abandoned patients. Earlier we had so many problems in dealing with patients who were abandoned and had no social/ family support but now with the Women Helpline 181 functioning in our State, I can say that there is an agency or somebody to rely on and who can help. One good service of the helpline is that it gives better treatment and follows up with the cases till the end or till the patient is rehabilitated. In conclusion, I would like to say that I am grateful for the kind of services 181 provides, and also encourage them to bring more patients especially those who are ignorant of the services of the hospital so that they can avail its service.” In the words of Shri. Rajesh Soundararajan, IAS, Deputy Commissioner, Kohima, “The Women Helpline Nagaland has been doing an exemplary work in a highly organised, systematic and professional way, thus helping the women in need of assistance and help. Also their endeavour is to focus on sustainable services and setting a benchmark for others to follow.” Shri. Michael Yhome, the Officer in Charge of Cyber Crime Police Station, PHQ, has this to say: “Since the launch of the 181 Women Helpline, we have been receiving a lot of cyber crime cases from the helpline. Generally, when women come to us, they are not so open and they feel uncomfortable in giving details/information of the case. However, with the assistance of 181 through counseling and psycho-social support women- victims are now more willing to speak out their grievances and assert their rights. I would say that the 181 Women Helpline not only supports women in times of distress but also empowers her to justice.” And last but not least, Smt. Daisy Mezhur, the Mission Director of the State Resource Centre for Women affirmed: I proudly stand to salute the dedicated 181 Team who have walked the extra mile to make things happen with pride, despite the odds. And it is natural to find in this ambience, that any woman calling in distress will find someone who will listen and support without judging.” The Women Helpline 181 Nagaland is therefore, a gift to all women of Nagaland affected by violence. And with such a Helpline functioning in the state, it is hoped that the society would together ensure a crime-free State for not only women and girls, but for all to live in. Women helpline

Open letter to department of power, Government of Nagaland
I
t is a well known fact that meteorologically, Dimapur, being a plain area, is one of the hottest places in the entire State of Nagaland. Considering this fact and that this is the peak of the summer season, we are all at the mercy of a constant and uninterrupted supply of electricity which is required to run the fans, refrigerators and ACs in addition to pumping water, notwithstanding the fact that it is required for many other essential services including those related to schools, colleges, hospitals and other emergency services. But, it is very sad and frustrating to note that the Power Department has become very callous and has not taken due cognizance of the above mentioned facts and has chose to remain complacent to the distress of the people of the state, especially of Dimapur. The last few weeks in Dimapur have been utterly nerve-wrecking for the denizens of Dimapur as the power-cuts and outages have been more frequent and irregular. And we have the least clue as to what is actually the reason for the same as the Power Department has not given any satisfactory public clarification for this situation. Earlier the department used to notify through the newspapers about any planned and regular Load-Sheddings. But as of now, the situation does not seem at all like normal LoadSheddings but more like some big-scale and well-orchestrated malice or prank. I, on behalf of the denizens of Dimapur especially would like to represent this very pertinent cause of the students and patients in emergency and ICU wards of various hospitals that are facing the maximum brunt of this irregularity in Power supply in the sweltering summer heat without the fans or sometimes even without drinking water. A majority of the schools and colleges are not fortunate enough to afford generators or invertors. Even schools with generators are running short of resources as the generators have to run on diesel and it becomes very difficult to maintain a regular supply of diesel due to the sky-rocketing price of fuels. How can we expect to produce quality students when their educational needs are not fulfilled? Educational needs include a conducive atmosphere for learning to take place, which is a far cry right now in many schools due to the rampant power outages for long durations, sometimes even for 6-8 hours at a stretch. Students are not even able to do their regular studies at home due to this very problem at hand. It is rather very unfortunate that despite the tall claims of the government, the common people are not even getting 12 hours of constant and uninterrupted power supply. The plight of patients in emergency and ICU wards of hospitals in Dimapur is even worse. Doctors are not able to perform critical surgeries in the wake of such power crisis. The
hospital staff is also not able to give their genuine services as many diagnostic and medical types of equipment are run on continuous power supply which is a matter of life and death for many patients undergoing serious treatments in the ICUs and emergency wards. It is a matter of grave concern that cold storages in Dimapur are totally dependent on uninterrupted and constant power supply to keep the perishable goods including fish, vegetables and other day to day utilities fresh and available for public consumption. Moreover, the power fluctuation is at its peak during the night time which is adding to the inconvenience faced by the general public who are already overwhelmed by the surmounting heat of the summer season. Many electrical and electronic equipments are getting damaged due to the constant fluctuation of power supply which is far from being constant and stable as we have been witnessing since the last few months. It is utterly frustrating that during night time when we require maximum supply of power, the electricity supply remains in some localities only for about 15 minutes to half an hour at a stretch while power outages continue relentlessly for hours. Due to this, people are undergoing sleepless nights and how can we therefore expect those people to work efficiently the next day when they are forced to undergo such sleepless nights. It is not our intention to point our fingers at anyone but we just want the Power Department to be more emphatic and understanding towards the sad plight of the citizens facing the onslaught of intermittent power outages. Imagine the condition of the common people including ailing patients in government hospitals, school going children and old people in this unwarranted situation of rampant power failures in the peak of summer for no fault of theirs! We just want the officials concerned to take your stand in this matter as the Department of Power is one of the most vital elements of societal development and growth. We can no longer remain mute spectators to this crisis and overwhelming situation brought about by undue laxity on the part of the Power Department. It is seen that the government departments and agencies take the general public of Nagaland for a ride as most of the common people do not raise their voices against such unjust practices. We therefore make this fervent appeal to the Department of Power to immediately take up necessary steps towards the restoration of normalcy in the power supply, especially in Dimapur, and to ensure uninterrupted power supply so that the grievances of the common people can be redressed at the earliest.

Combating climate change rooted in our ethos: Swaraj
B ru s s e l s, J u n 2 2 (Agencies): External Affairs Minister (EAM) Sushma Swaraj has reiterated India’s commitment to combat the climate change, saying, “it is rooted in our ethos.” “Our commitment to combat the climate change is rooted in our ethos, which (our ethos) consider the earth as (our) mother. A majority of the Indian population is dependent on mother earth and its rivers, sea, land including food, health, and energy,” Swaraj said while addressing a conference on climate, security and peace in Brussels, reported ANI. “We will have to work in coordination with all stakeholders for our collective well being,” she added. Swaraj used the occasion to underline the significance of the 2015 Paris ag reement.”The world needs a similar roadmap (referring to the Paris agreement) for finance and technology, in absence of it, the developing countries
Sushma Swaraj
will fail in achieving their Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).” The Paris Climate Agreement is an agreement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) dealing with greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, adaptation and finance starting in the year 2020. It aims to respond to the global climate change threat by keeping a global temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels in the 21st century.”A scale of resources required for
ambitious and effective achievement of the Paris agreement over the 2030 agenda is enormous,” she added. As of September 2017, 195 UNFCCC members have signed the agreement, out of which 162 of them have ratified it.Earlier, the External Affairs Minister had said that India and European Union (EU) stood shoulder to shoulder and united by shared values and principles in the midst of complex challenges to global peace and security. “As robust democracies, we share values of liberty, equality, pluralism and respect for rule of law. As multicultural and multilingual societies, both India and Belgium are also accustomed to celebrating diversities and differences within our people.”Sushma is in the last leg of her week-long tour. Before Belgium, she visited Italy, France and Luxembourg. The External Affairs Minister will return to India on June 23.

NDA is only in Bihar, not in Govt bans sale of fish treated with formalin Delhi: JD(U) spokesperson (From p-1)
Patna, Jun 22 (Agencies): A day after Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar skipped International Yoga Day celebrations in Patna, Janata Dal (United) spokesperson K C Tyagi has come out with a stinging attack on alliance partner Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). While speaking to India Today TV, Tyagi said that National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is in Bihar but not in Delhi. This statement comes in at a time when speculation is rife about widening gap between the two alliance partners. Nitish Kumar’s snub on Yoga Day is being seen as a tit for tat act. JD(U) is not happy with BJP National President Amit Shah skipping Patna, while he chose to visit Mumbai for a meeting with ally Shiv Sena and Chandigarh to meet Akali leaders after the recent by-poll poor show. Tyagi said that there has been no meeting of NDA partners despite our repeated efforts, it seems NDA exists only in Bihar
and not in Delhi. He further said that not one minister from JD(U) is in the Modi government. “We have given Deputy CM post and cabinet berths to the BJP in Bihar government, but in Delhi we have been ignored,” Tyagi said. Tyagi said that miscommunication between the two alliance partners has become an issue. Sources said that JD(U) is also not happy over the rumours that Amit Shah has denied time to Nitish Kumar for a meeting in Delhi. About the tussle over seat sharing in Lok Sabha elections, Tyagi said that it’s every party’s right to pitch its demands. “We are the bigger party in Bihar and we want our strength to be respected, this is an internal matter of the NDA and we hope to reach an understanding over the issue when situation arises,” he added. With 40 seats at stake in Bihar, JD(U) has been demanding 25 while the BJP, LJP and RLSP had won on 31 seats in 2014 General Elections.
Further, the commissioner stated that FBOs both whole and retail sellers, in violation of SubSections (I) (II) (III) of Section 25 of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, Rules and Regulations, were selling misbranded/ sub-standards, imported food articles coming from neighboring countries harmful for human consumption. Therefore, the food safety commissioner has prohibited the manufac-
ture, expose for sale offer for sale, store for sale or distribution of above mentioned food articles in the State, with immediate effect. Non-compliance would be an offence, punishable, imprisonment with fine under the said Act. The commissioner has advised general public not to purchase such misbranded and sub standard food articles or check the quality of the food and labeling before making purchased. Meanwhile, the department has requested the
general public to report to the chief medical officers/ food safety officers of the districts, or food safety commissioner, H&FW department, or additional food safety commissioner for any information on food adulteration. The designated officer (CMO)/food safety officers of the districts have been directed to carry out inspection and checking of food business establishment under its jurisdiction and submit action taken report to the food safety commissioner.
Need to augment investigation against wildlife crimes: Chang
(From p-1)
In his speech, DC Dimapur Sushil Patel said conservation was evident in the joint initiative of the forest department and local communities in the conservation of Amur Falcon. He said challenges before the forest officials were growing and that wildlife crime was one such challenge. He hoped that the workshop would lay foundation for creating effective ways on tackling wildlife crime. Speaking on the occasion, Traffic India head Dr Saket Badola said wildlife forms part of natural resource and wellbeing of communities. He said India was a source country from where many wildlife species were being taken out of the country through various routes.
According to him, Nagaland was situated at a critical junction near demand sites and porous international borders made illegal wildlife trade quite easy. To combat this, there was a need to enable forest department work with communities in creating an enabling situation that would reduce wildlife crime, he added. Wildlife Crime Control Bureau eastern region deputy director Agni Mitra, who also spoke on the occasion, said it was the responsibility of every individual to work towards reducing wildlife crime. He emphasised on enhancing skills of forest department and hoped the workshop would lend further impetus to the cause of combating wildlife crime. The vote of thanks was proposed by chief wildlife warden of Dimapur Satya Prakash Tripathi.
Cong seeks probe into Amit Shah link in ‘Demo Scam’ Italy refuses to extradite Agusta middleman district cooperative banks”, at Rs 14,293.71 crore out of Rs 22,270.80 crore or 64.18 per cent compared to non-BJP ruled states, and said “an independent probe, targetted and timebound probe” into the RTI revelations, including those pertaining to 11 Gujaratbased cooperative banks was needed. Congress President Rahul Gandhi also attacked Shah on the issue. “Congratulations Amit Shahji, Director, Ahmedabad Dist. Cooperative Bank, on your bank winning first prize in the conversion of old notes to new race. Rs 750 crore in five days! Millions of Indians whose lives were destroyed by demonetisation, salute your achievement. #ShahZyadaKhaGaya.” Surjewala said: “Nineteen months post ‘Modi made disaster’ of demonetisation, it is now officially clear that this entire exercise was the biggest scam in independent
India, indulged to convert its ill-gotten ‘black money’ into ‘white’.” Both Modi and Shah need to come clean on the fact that in 11 district cooperative banks in Gujarat headed by BJP leaders, old notes worth Rs 3,118.51 crore were deposited within the five days during which it was allowed, he said. Surjewala said that the ADCB was the only district co-operative bank out of 370 across the country to receive such a large sum of demonetised notes in 5 days, adding its chairman Ajay Patel is a prominent BJP leader and a close associate of Amit Shah. “Shah’s close associate Yashpal Chudasama, whose name appears in the infamous ‘Jay Shah-Zada’ case is also a director of the ADCB. Rajkot District Cooperative Bank also received old notes worth a whopping Rs 693.19 crore. “Its chairman Jayeshbhai Vitthalb-
hai Radadiya is a Cabinet Minister in BJP’s Gujarat government. Another director is Vitthalbhai Radadiya, father of Jayeshbhai. He is prominent BJP leader and an Ex-MP from Porbandar,” he added. Saying the RTI reply also reveals the important national picture “which further establishes that the entire exercise of demonetisation was meant to benefit a select group of BJP cronies”, he alleged that in the run-up to the decision, the BJP and the RSS purchased properties running into hundreds of crores across the country.
New Delhi, Jun 22 (PTI): In a major setback to investigation agencies, Italy refused to extradite Carlo Gerosa, an alleged middleman in AgustaWestland bribery scandal, saying it did not have any mutual legal assistance treaty with India. After the recent development, the CBI approached the Exter nal Affairs Ministry, citing provisions under which he could be extradited to India even in the absence of legal assistance treaty between the two countries, sources said.
Carlo Valentino Ferdinando Gerosa (71), an Italian and Swiss national, was believed to be a key player in the bribery scandal as the process of manipulating the specifications for VVIP helicopter deal allegedly started after a meeting between him and cousins of former IAF chief S P Tyagi,
they said. Interpol had issued a Red Corner Notice against Gerosa, they said. He was apprehended by authorities in Italy on the basis of the RCN in connection with its money laundering probe in the Rs 3,600 crore AgustaWestland VVIP choppers deal case.

story on Thursday based on a RTI reply which said that a bank with Amit Shah as a director collected the highest amount of banned notes among DCCBs (District Central Cooperative Banks). Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surejwala said at a press conference that ADCB secured deposits of Rs 745.59 crore of the spiked notes -- in just five days (November 10, 2016 to November 14, 2016) after Modi made the demonetisation announcement. All the district cooperative banks were banned from accepting deposits of banned currency notes after November 14, 2016 -- five days after demonetisation -- on fears that black money would be laundered through this route. Surjewala however said that states ruled by the BJP and its allies and supporters “got the largest proportion of deposits in the

New Delhi, Jun 22 (IANS): The Congress on Friday sought “an independent probe” into RTI revelations that Ahmedabad District Cooperative Bank (ADCB) linked to BJP President Amit Shah got deposits of Rs 745.59 crore in five days after demonetisation, while terming the currencyscrapping move the “biggest scam in Independent India to convert black money into white”. The party also demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP chief must come clean on the alleged scam and said the BJP and the RSS should “publicly disclose the properties and their value purchased in the run up to and post-demonetisation, including source of funds.” The BJP, meanwhile, put up a vigorous defence, with Union Finance Minister Piyush Goyal saying in a tweet that “the allegations shows Congress’s desperation to deflect public attention from its own misdemeanours.” The National Bank for Agriculture & Rural Development (NABARD) attributed the highest deposits at ADCB to the latter’s massive size and performance, saying it conducted 100 per cent verification which revealed that the bank had complied with all the KYC guidelines of the RBI while accepting the demonetised notes.

rebalance the market in the past 18 months and lifted oil to around $75 per barrel from as low as $27 in 2016. But unexpected outages in Venezuela, Libya and Angola have effectively brought supply cuts to around 2.8 million bpd in recent months. Brent oil prices were up 1.9 per cent on Friday as the output boost had been largely priced in and was seen as modest. “It will be enough for now but not enough for the fourth quarter to address a decline in Iranian and Venezuelan exports,” said Gary Ross, head of global oil analytics at S&P Global. “There isn’t a lot of spare capacity in the world. If we lose a million bpd of output from Venezuela and Iran in the fourth quarter, where will all these barrels come from? We are in for higher prices for longer,” he said.

sanctions. Iran, OPEC’s thirdlargest producer, had demanded OPEC reject calls from US President Donald Trump for an increase in oil supply, arguing that Trump had contributed to a recent rise in prices by imposing sanctions on Iran and Venezuela. Trump slapped fresh sanctions on Tehran in May and market watchers expect Iran’s output to drop by a third by the end of 2018. That means the country has little to gain from a deal to raise OPEC output, unlike top oil exporter Saudi Arabia. However, Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih appears to have convinced his Iranian peer Bijan Zanganeh to support the increase just hours before Friday’s OPEC meeting. OPEC and its allies have since last year been participating in a pact to cut output by 1.8 million bpd. The measure has helped

Dimapur, Jun 22 (NPN): India’s largest telecom services provider, Bharti Airtel Limited (Airtel) organised a two day blood donation drive among its employees and partners.

The blood banks in Assam and North Eastern states are in constant need of fresh supply of blood and thus, Airtel initiated the campaign to contribute towards lessening the shortage and helping those in need of blood transfusions.

Mumbai, Jun 22 (PTI): The rupee continued its rally for a third straight session Friday, strengthening by another 14 paise to end at 67.84 against the US dollar amid sustained unwinding of American currency by exporters. Fresh capital inflows and an encouraging rally in domestic equities revived forex market sentiment. Foreign funds and investors turned net buyers after a long selling spell and bought shares worth a net Rs 1,126.75 crore, provisional data showed. Additionally, expectations with regard to relaxation in the current oil supply quotas ahead of the crucial OPEC meeting on the output policy also weighed on the trading front. The Indian unit oscillated between 67.70 and 67.88 most part of the day.

of double digit growth from 7-8 per cent,” Modi said, adding the world is watching as to when India will break into the USD 5 trillion economy club by doubling its economy. The Prime Minister emphasised the need for increasing exports and said that states must be made active partners in this effort. He said the Department of Commerce must resolve to raise India’s share in total global exports to at least 3.4 percent, from the current 1.6 per cent. Similarly, he said, efforts must be made to raise domestic manufacturing output to reduce the dependence on imports. In this

context, he gave the example of electronics manufacturing. The Commerce Ministry as well as trade and industry should take up the challenge of double-digit GDP growth and doubling India’s share in global trade, he said. Listing out the achievements of his government, he said the country has moved away from a culture of delaying work through ‘atkana, latkana and bhatkana’ (obstructing, delaying and misguiding). The Goods and Services Tax (GST), which replaced over a dozen indirect taxes from July 1 last year, has led to not just ease of doing business but also an increase in the tax base, he said. Modi said 54 lakh new taxpayers have sought registration under the new regime, taking the number of indirect tax payers to over one crore. This compares to 60 lakh indirect tax payers in the pre-GST era, the Prime Minister said.
VIENNA, Jun 22 (Agencies): OPEC agreed on Friday on a modest increase in oil production from July after its leader Saudi Arabia persuaded arch-rival Iran to cooperate amid calls from major consumers to help reduce the price of crude and avoid a supply shortage. Two OPEC sources said the group agreed that OPEC and its allies led by Russia should increase production by about 1 million barrels per day (bpd), or 1 per cent of global supply. The real increase will be smaller because several countries that recently underproduced oil will struggle to return to full quotas while other producers will not be allowed to fill the gap, OPEC sources have said. The United States, China and India had urged OPEC to release more supply to prevent an oil deficit that would hurt the global economy. Saudi Arabia and Russia said they were happy to pump more but Iran had criticised the idea as it faces export-crippling US

Speaking after laying the foundation stone of Vanijya Bhawan, a new office complex of the Ministry of Commerce here, he said his government has in four years taken steps to ease the process of doing business in India while maintaining macroeconomic indicators like inflation, current account deficit (CAD) and fiscal deficit within limits. After scaling these positive macroeconomic indicators, what next, the Prime Minister asked. He said GDP growth touched 7.7 per cent in the last quarter of 2017-18 fiscal but now the time has come to look beyond 7-8 per cent growth and target doubledigit expansion. “The need of the hour is that we should work towards achieving the target
NEW DELHI, Jun 22 (PTI): India is trying to resolve trade disputes with several countries and is willing to create a new world trade order as it extends a hand of friendship to all, Union Minister Suresh Prabhu said on Friday - a day after the country slapped tariffs on 29 US products in a retaliatory move. Addressing the 5th India International MSME Start-up Expo here, the commerce and industry minister hoped that small and medium enterprises would create more economic opportunities and become the driver of a new India. Prabhu said, “We are trying to resolve the trade disputes with so many countries in the world. We want to make sure that India remains a friend of all countries of the world whether it is South East Asia, whether it is Far East including our good friend Japan, whether it is in the Middle East, whether it is Africa or Latin America, in each of these segments.” “I have personally met almost all the ministers at different levels at different time, of course, Europe

EU slaps tariffs on US goods
Lo n d o n, J u n 2 2 (Agencies): The European Union (EU) has introduced retaliatory tariffs on US goods as a top official launched a fresh attack on President Donald Trump’s trade policy. The duties on €2.8bn (£2.4bn) worth of US goods came into force on Friday. Tariffs have been imposed on products such as bourbon whiskey, motorcycles and orange juice. European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker said duties imposed by the US on the EU go against “all logic and history”. Addressing the Irish parliament in Dublin, he added that “we will do what we have to do to rebalance and safeguard” the EU. The Trump administration announced in March that it would introduce tariffs of 25% on steel and 10% on aluminium imported into the US. Mr Trump has argued that global oversupply of steel and aluminium, driven by China, threatens American steel and aluminium producers, which are vital

to the US. After being deferred, the duties on steel and aluminium went ahead on 1 June and affect the EU, Canada, Mexico and other close US allies, including India. For its part, India has said it will raise taxes on 29 products imported from the US - including some agricultural goods, steel and iron products - in retaliation for the wide-ranging US tariffs. The new duties will come into effect from 4 August and will affect US almonds, walnuts and chick peas, among other products. South Korea, Argentina, Australia and Brazil have agreed to put limits on the volume of met-
als they can ship to the US in lieu of tariffs. However, Canada has announced it will impose retaliatory tariffs on C$16.6bn (£9.5bn) worth of US exports from 1 July. And Mexico put tariffs on $3bn worth of American products ranging from steel to pork and bourbon two weeks ago. Earlier this week, Mr Trump threatened to impose 10% duties on an additional $200bn (£150bn) worth of Chinese goods which he said would come into force if China “refuses to change its practices”. However, China accused the US of an act of “extreme pressure and blackmail” and said it would respond with “strong counter-measures”. President Trump believes that if you have a trade deficit - if you import more than you export - you are losing out. He is especially irked by the hefty deficits in US trade with China and Mexico, but has indicated that he will not let any country “take advantage of us on trade any more”.
The US trade deficit has increased in recent years, running at around $50bn (£38bn). However, this could be the result of a stronger economy, with US consumers buying more goods from overseas. The new tariffs are meant to correct this imbalance. There were confrontational scenes and words after the recent G7 summit in Quebec, at which the other major world economies challenged Mr Trump’s tariffs and trade policies. The majority of US goods targeted by the EU, such as tobacco, Harley Davidson motorcycles, cranberries and peanut butter, will now carry a tariff of 25%. However, the EU has introduced a 50% duty on goods such as footwear, some types of clothing and washing machines. Many of the products the EU has in its sights are specifically chosen to have maximum political effect. Bourbon whiskey is produced in Kentucky, the state of Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell.

Drug to stop cancer from spreading developed New York, Jun 22 (IANS): Scientists have developed a drug compound that may freeze cancer cells and kill them, thus keeping them from spreading throughout the body. The study found that the compound named KBU2046 is highly effective and can slow down cell motility in the cancers of breast, prostate, colon and lungs in the in vitro model. “Movement is key: the difference is black and white, night and day. If cancer cells spread throughout your body, they will take your life. We can treat it, but it will take your life,” said Raymond Bergan from Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) in the US. “We used chemistry to probe biology to give us a perfect drug that would only inhibit the movement of cancer cells and wouldn’t do anything else. That basic change in logic lead us to do everything we did.” In the study, published in the journal Nature Communications, the team used a mouse model to test the drug.

Musharraf resigns as APML chairman
Islamabad, Jun 22 (IANS): Former President Pervez Musharraf on Friday resigned from the chairmanship of the All Pakistan Muslim League (APML), the party’s new chairman Mohammad Amjad said. The former military ruler sent his resignation to the Election Commission as it was no longer possible for him to run the party from abroad, said Amjad. Earlier this week, the poll body rejected Musharraf ’s nomination papers for NA-1 Chitral, after the Supreme Court withdrew its conditional approval for him to file nomination papers for the upcoming general election after he failed to appear before the court. Amjad, previously the general secretary of the party, has been elevated to the position of chairman. He will now be directing all party affairs and deciding APML’s role in the elections, the Pakistani media reported. According to Geo News, the party sent a formal request to the Election Commission notifying about the change in its chairmanship. Musharraf, despite his resignation, will remain the supremo of APML, the report said. Musharraf founded All Pakistan Muslim League in 2010. Despite the party announcing boycott of the 2013 election just days before the balloting, two of its candidates still contested and won two seats from Chitral. The retired general was barred from contesting the 2013 election due to cases registered against him.

Seoul, Jun 22 (IANS): North and South Korea agreed on Friday to hold reunions from August 20-26 for families separated by the 1950-53 Korean War. A hundred families from each Korea would be selected for the reunions in a hotel on Mount Kumgang on the southeast coast of North Korea, the same venue where earlier reunions have taken place, Yonhap news agency reported. Red Cross delegations from the two Koreas had
met earlier in the day in the same hotel to discuss the reunions and other issues of mutual interest. The South Korean Red Cross delegation was led by Park Kyung-seo, while the North Korean delegation was headed by the vice chairman of the Committee for Peaceful Reunification, Pak Yong-il. South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un had agreed during their summit on April 27 to hold reunions of separated fami-
lies around the middle of August. The August reunion would be the first meeting of its kind since October 2015 and is expected to further strengthen the current spirit of rapprochement and cooperation between Seoul and Pyongyang. The South Korean government insisted on the need to resume the reunions due to ageing of family members, who were separated more than 65 years ago during the Korean War. The number of South Koreans registered for the family reunions totalled 132,124 in May (86 per cent of whom are 70 years old or older), although it is believed that only about 57,000 of them are still alive. Meanwhile, the delegations did not comment on whether they discussed the issue of resumption of humanitarian aid for North Korea from the South, or the repatriation of the North Korean waitresses who had defected to the South in 2016.

The 43-yearold Santa Clarita Diet star opened up on Thursday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! about getting revenge on an exboyfriend in her teens. “I spray painted an ex-boyfriend’s car,” she revealed. “It was really fun. We blasted Cypress Hill. It was mid-‘90s, late-‘90s. We felt so baller.” In order to maintain her innocence, Barrymore spray painted things her ex wouldn’t have expected onto his car. “A lot of really horrible things that would not seem like me. It wasn’t like, ‘You screwed me over, you d**k.’ It was like, ‘Anarchy’ and ‘Black Flag,’” she noted. “And then he called me crying like a little b**ch, and
he said, ‘You wouldn’t have done this, would you have?’ And I was like, ‘Noooo.’” Barrymore added that she never admitted her act of rebellion to her ex, saying, “It was really gratifying and now he knows it’s me…I went with my girlfriend Justine, and we were young and we felt so cool driving up the Canyon in my Ford Bronco, blasting Cypress Hill.

elma Blair turns 46 on Saturday, but there was another milestone the Legally Blonde star was celebrating this week. In an emotional Instagram post early Friday morning, Blair revealed that she was celebrating two years of sobriety. Though she appeared happy to have made it to the two-year mark, the journey has been filled with ups and downs, Blair said. “Two years sober,” she wrote. “Two years feeling everything and nothing. Two years of extreme gratitude and humility and grace.” The actress also used the anniversary to thank the people in her life who made it possible. “I thank the lord and my friends,” Blair said. “I prayed for a miracle at my lowest points. I am a living miracle. Thank you. Thank you. #birthdaygirl #almost46 #summersolstice #grace.” Blair has been candid about her battle with substance abuse in the past. She made headlines back in June 2016 when she was removed from an international flight as it landed in Los Angeles following her return from Cancun, Mexico, after taking what a source told PEOPLE at the time appeared to be “a combination of prescription medication with alcohol.” “I made a big mistake yesterday,” Blair’s wrote in a statement to Vanity Fair the next day. “After a lovely K Y M C

It was the most exciting moment for me to meet a real-life princess, the real life princess, the People’s Princess,” she recalled. “Diana was and is and will always be the epitome of a woman that all little girls look up to. She was so kind and so nice and I have to say growing up with her as a princess was just such a good example.” In the photo of the encounter, director Steven Spielberg is carefully watching Barrymore as she met with royalty.

Yesterday, however, his daughter proved that he’s just as capable at saving lives as he is at (fictionally) taking them. In a new video posted to Instagram Stories yesterday, Emma Heming Willis provided the world with amusing confirmation that Bruce has nothing but love for creatures of all sizes — including, in this particular instance, a hummingbird that had become trapped inside his home. Wielding a tr usty pool skimmer (i.e., a net at the end of a long pole), the Hollywood legend used some expert handeye coordination to pluck the bird out of the rafters without causing it any harm, and then to safely deposit it back outside.

Evangeline Lilly says ‘Wasp’ costume took months to perfect

va n g e l i n e L i l l y loves the super-suit she gets to flex as budding (and shrinking) crimefighter Hope van Dyne in the upcoming sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp. But getting the Wasp suit to a place she felt comfortable with, in terms of its coziness and practicality and of the way it presented her as the in-the-flesh representation of Marvel’s storied comic book character, took months of painstaking — and occasionally painful — adjustments by the film’s costume and wardrobe teams. “I was nervous about the suit because of two reasons,” Lilly told Yahoo Entertainment on a soundstage at the Pinewood Atlanta Studios set. “One, they’re obviously restrictive and uncomfortable. But two,” Lilly paused, then took a deep breath: “Living up to the comic book images of female superhero characters, who all are even more outstanding-looking than Barbie, even more impos-
sible to mimic than Barbie, they have, like, 12-inch waists and 45-inch busts and legs as long as me from head to toe. It was a nerve-wracking thing to consider. “Sure, when it’s a digital version of me, they can make her look however they want. But I actually have to stand in front of a camera in that suit and somehow live up to all of the girls’ and boys’ fantasies about what Wasp should look like.” The Wasp has been one of Marvel’s most beloved characters since she was introduced by Stan Lee, Ernie Hart, and Jack Kirby in 1963.

DUBAI, Jun 22 (PTI): The Sri Lankan team management, including skipper Dinesh Chandimal, has accepted the ICC’s charge of acting against the spirit of the game by refusing to take the field in the second Test against the West Indies after a ball-tampering row. Chandimal, coach Chandika Hathurusinghe and manager Asanka Gurusinha have admitted to their role in team’s refusal to take the field during the second Test at St Lucia, the ICC said in a statement. Following their admission, the ICC appointed Michael Beloff QC as the Judicial Commissioner to hear the case to determine the appropriate sanction as according to the ICC code of conduct it breaches Article 2.3.1, a Level 3 offence, which relates to “conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game”. The three were charged by the ICC chief executive David Richardson on Tuesday for their involvement in the incident at the start of Saturday’s play, which caused a two-hour delay in the start of play. Chandimal had been found guilty by the ICC for attempting to change the condition of the ball after video evidence indicated that he applied saliva to it shortly after putting what the ICC suggested was a sweet into his mouth.
Federer reaches Halle semi-finals
roger-federer-10-cm-more-and-i-would-have-been-out.
Halle, Jun 22 (Agencies): Roger Federer remained on course for a 99th career title with a hard-fought victory against Matthew Ebden to reach the Gerry Weber Open semi-finals. The defending champion needs to retain his title to stay at the summit of the men’s game and after saving two match points against Benoit Paire on Thursday was pushed once again by his Australian opponent. Federer, targeting a record-extending 10th victory in Halle, began his grass-court campaign with a maiden title in Stuttgart last week and extended his
unbeaten winning streak on the surface to 19 matches with a 7-6 [7-2] 7-5 win. The 20-time Grand Slam champion was unable to convert on the only break point of the first set, in the seventh game, but was the dominant force in the tiebreak to take the initiative in the encounter. Both players traded early breaks of serve in the second set before Ebden broke the world No 1 for a second time but was unable to serve out at 5-4, as Federer hit three backhand winners in the game. In front of a packed crowd under the roof in Germany, Federer finished
with a flourish to break Ebden for a third time in the match and secure progress. Federer will next face Denis Kudla after the unseeded American reached only his second ATP World Tour semi-final with a 6-2 7-5 victory against Yuichi Sugita, who had knocked out Dominic Thiem in the previous round. The qualifier, world No 109, broke his Japanese opponent twice in the first set to take the initiative in the contest before he recovered from a 5-2 second set deficit and saved a set point to close out the match in one hour and 23 minutes.
Durham, Jun 22 (Agencies): England’s rampant one-day side powered to a fourth straight win over Australia, following up their world record rampage at Trent Bridge with a commanding sixwicket victory at Chesterle-Street on Thursday led by centurion Jason Roy. Roy cracked his second century of the series, a brilliant 101 off 83 balls, to pave the way for England to make easy meat of Australia’s 310-8, which had also featured hundreds for Aaron Finch and Shaun
Marsh. After piling up a world record total of 481 from a 50-over international at Trent Bridge on Tuesday and inflicting Australia’s heaviest-ever defeat, England again outplayed the visitors, pulling off their second-highest ever ODI run chase. It gave England’s hugely talented, big-hitting side a 4-0 lead in the series with the chance of an unprecedented whitewash in Sunday’s fifth and final match at Old Trafford.

Dimapur, Jun 22 (NPN): Inter-school badminton talent search under Kohima district, organised by Kohima District Badminton Association (KDBA) will be held on June 25 and 26 at indoor badminton stadium, Officers’ Hill, Kohima. The tournament will be held in 3 categories- Under 9, Under 11 and Under 13. A school can send 6 players in each category. Under-9 players should be born on or before January 1, 2010, U-11 players should be born on or before January 1, 2008 and U-13 players should be born on or before January 1, 2006. Participants taking part in the event have been asked to bring photocopy of their PCR (Pupil Cumulative Record) as proof of age. A participant taking part in singles can also play in doubles.

seemed determined to rebound strongly and when their captain Tim Paine won the toss and opted to bat, opener Finch’s 100 off 106 balls and a 92-ball 101 from Marsh promised much. Yet though Travis Head’s blistering 63 in a century opening partnership with Finch and Marsh’s fine knock, which saw him take 24 in one over off Adil Rashid, promised much, the Aussies’ top three had poor support with David Willey belatedly claiming four wickets
in his last two overs. Roy, who had scored 120 at Cardiff at the weekend and 82 in the Nottingham run bonanza, was again in dazzling form along with the equally on-song Jonny Bairstow as they laid the foundations for the win with a 174-run opening partnership. Bairstow, a centurion at Trent Bridge, smashed 79 off 66 balls while Roy plundered two sixes and 12 fours in his century, before Jos Buttler, with a 28ball half-century, and Alex Hales proved thunderous finishers, ensuring the total was knocked off with 32 balls to spare. Only the 350-3 they made against New Zealand in Nottingham in 2015 surpassed their race to 314-4 off 44.4 overs but England’s delighted captain Eoin Morgan is evidently not yet satisfied. Asked if he thought the 5-0 whitewash was on, he said at the post-match presentation ceremony: “There might be an opportunity in the next game. We like playing at Old Trafford — the challenge is to finish it off.” Brief Scores: England 314/4 (Jason Roy 101, Jonny Bairstow 79; Ashton Agar 2/48) beat Australia (Shaun Marsh 101, Aaron Finch 100; David Willey 4/43)

Musa brace helps Nigeria beat Iceland 2-0 Brazil beat Costa Rica 2-0 in
Musa took his time before firing his shot past the two covering defenders on the line to doubled Nigeria’s lead.
Volgograd, Jun 22 (Agencies): Ahmed Musa struck both goals as Nigeria boosted their World Cup qualification hopes with a 2-0 defeat of Iceland, a result that is also good news for Argentina. Lionel Messi’s team were pushed to the brink of an early exit after a stunning 3-0 loss to Croatia on Thursday, but victory in their final Group D game against Nigeria could now send them through to the last 16. Musa was left out of Nigeria’s loss to Croatia but he justified his recall to the side with the opening
goal shortly after the interval at the Volgograd Arena on Friday. The forward controlled a cross from Victor Moses and thumped an unstoppable drive into the roof of the net, with Musa becoming the Super Eagles’ top scorer in the history of the tournament courtesy of his third World Cup goal. Nigeria were poor in the first half but they were much improved after the break, Musa adding another to his personal tally in the 75th minute as Iceland’s rock-like resilience crumbled.
Test Russian team for doping: USADA
Alli has ‘slim chance’ to play against Panama
M o s c ow, J u n 2 2 (IANS): The US Anti-Doping Agency’s (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart has called on FIFA to test the Russian national football team for doping following their opening victories at the World Cup. “Russia must be aggressively tested to safeguard public confidence in the integrity of the World Cup,” Tygart was quoted as saying by The Telegraph, adding that “extraordinary performances demand additional tests.” However, FIFA refused to reveal the number of doping tests conducted on Russia’s World Cup squad saying that they could not comment on such tests,. Russia qualified for the round of 16 for the first time since the break-up of the Soviet Union after thrashing Saudi Arabia 5-0 and beating Egypt 3-1.
After Gylfi Sigurdsson missed a late penalty, Heimir Hallgrimsson’s side could be heading home from their first World Cup unless they beat already qualified Croatia and Argentina do not take three points against Nigeria, although goal difference could yet come into play. Gylfi Sigurdsson had tested Francis Uzoho with an early free-kick as Iceland made a bright start. But Iceland almost took the lead in the last minute of the first half, Alfred Finnbogason unable to get a decisive touch on Sigurdsson’s dangerous
Dele Alli
Zelenogorsk, Jun 22 (Agencies): Dele Alli has only a “slim chance” of playing for England against Panama on Sunday, says manager Gareth Southgate. The Tottenham midfielder did not train with the rest of the England squad in Zelenogorsk on Friday morning, instead continuing recovery work on his own following a thigh injury he sustained in the win over Tunisia. Alli was not part of the line-up leaked to reporters from a note held by assistant manager Steve Holland this
week. It showed a plan to play in a 3-5-2 formation against Panama, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek in place of Alli in midfield. Marcus Rashford’s name, rather than Raheem Sterling, was also pictured on the note playing in the front two alongside captain Harry Kane. But Southgate said his notes do not necessarily reflect his choice of his starting team. England trained behind closed doors on Friday ahead of departing to Nizhny Novgorod on Saturday for the Panama fixture.
free-kick delivered from the right wing. Nigeria, in contrast, were unable to put any cohesive attacking moves together. They did test Hannes Thor Halldorsson just 14 seconds after the restart, with the goalkeeper easily saving from Oghenekaro Etebo. However, the Super Eagles opened the scoring with their next attack in the 49th minute. Moses led a rapid break down the right with his cross brilliantly collected by Musa, whose superb first touch took defender
Ragnar Sigurdsson out of the equation. If Musa’s first touch was good his second was even better, a lashed finish on the halfvolley giving Halldorsson no chance. Nigeria’s confidence levels grew in the wake of the goal, Halldorsson having to be alert to tip over a deflected rifled drive from Wilfred Ndidi. Musa rattled the crossbar as Nigeria pushed to seal all three points - and the striker would not be denied again in the 75th minute. Fed by Kenneth Omeruo, Musa burst clear in the left channel, cut inside and slipped a calm finish past Halldorsson. Nigeria survived a late scare after a VAR review spotted substitute Tyronne Ebuehi had tripped Finnbogason, with Gylfi Sigurdsson’s spot-kick effort clearing the crossbar. But a late injury to captain John Obi Mikel could be a concern for Nigeria ahead of an allor-nothing clash with Argentina.

thriller; edge towards last 16
Brazil’s Neymar celebrates with Casemiro and Douglas Costa after scoring a goal during their World Cup match against Costa Rica on Friday.
St. Petersburg, Jun 22 (IANS): Philippe Coutinho and Neymar Junior scored late in the second half as Brazil ensured their passage to the second round with a hard earned 2-0 win over Costa Rica in a Group E clash of the FIFA World Cup here on Friday. Both Brazilians struck in the second half added time at the Saint Petersburg Stadium to hand the fivetime World Cup winners their first victory in the tournament. Costa Rica managed to hold fast for the full 90 minutes of normal play thanks to a solid display from goalkeeper Keylor Navas but
one minute into stoppage time, Barça’s Coutinho rescued Brazil, driving through the defense to attack a loose ball in the penalty area, smashing it home between the legs of the Real Madrid man between the posts. Then, in the dying embers of stoppage time, of which there were six minutes, Neymar, who was yet to score at the FIFA World Cup in Russia, connected to a simple cross to tap home and seal the game. At the final whistle, the most expensive player in the world broke into tears of relief in the center of the pitch. Brazil, one of this year’s favourites to win
the trophy, all but secured its place in the knockout stages of the competition, recovering from a 1-1 draw in its opening match against Switzerland, who in turn is to meet with Serbia in the evening kick-off. Costa Rica put on a tough display in the first half knowing that a loss would essentially resign them to booking an early ticket home, but the players tired towards the end of the 90 minutes and succumbed to the relentless attacking tactics of the Brazilians. Brazil, who now top the table with 4 points, is set to play Serbia on Jun 27 in its final Group E match.
Croatia stun Argentina 3-0 to qualify for knockout Nizhny Novgorod, Jun 22 (Agencies): Croatia are through to the last 16 of the World Cup after a stunning 3-0 victory in Nizhny Novgorod which leaves Argentina in serious danger of exiting at the group stage. Ante Rebic made the most of a Willy Caballero howler to open the scoring in the 53rd minute before Luka Modric curled in a sensational second (81) and Ivan Rakitic stroked in an injury-time third to secure his side’s passage to the knockout stages. But after their opening 1-1 draw with Iceland, Argentina go into their final Group D game with Nigeria with only one point and their hopes of staying in Russia beyond the group stage are hanging by a thread. Both sides wasted glorious chances as the first half somehow remained
goalless. First, Enzo Perez missed a near-open goal for Argentina on 30 minutes when the ball deflected off the boot of Domagoj Vida into his path, but he struck wide from 12 yards with goalkeeper Danijel Subasic stranded. Three minutes later, Mario Mandzukic missed an even clearer chance at the other end. Sime Vrsaljko curled an inch-perfect ball onto the head of the Juventus striker, but he headed wide from four yards. Rebic was perhaps lucky to only receive a yellow card for a challenge on Eduardo Salvio five minutes before half-time, but capitalised on a shocking mistake from the Argentina goalkeeper to open the scoring on 53 minutes. Caballero scuffed a simple back-pass from Gabriel Mercado and the Croatia player watched the ball drop before lashing
in a smart volley from 10 yards. While the first goal was comical the second was classy. As Argentina chased an equaliser, Modric received the ball from Marcelo Brozovic 20 yards from goal and took two touches before curling a sensational rightfooter beyond Caballero. The excellent Rakitic struck the crossbar with a free-kick five minutes from time, but would deliver the final blow in injury-time. The Barcelona midfielder forced a superb save from Caballero but Mateo Kovacic returned the ball into his path and he stroked into an unguarded net. The result means Croatia have a maximum six points and are in pole position to top the group, while Argentina and the nearanonymous Lionel Messi are left to hope results go their way if they are to sur- Croatia’s Luka Modric (R) celebrates after scoring his side’s vive in this tournament. second goal during their match against Argentina.
Germany face Sweden in ‘early final’ Sochi, Jun 22 (Agencies): World Cup holders Germany face enormous pressure ahead of their second group match against Sweden, dubbed an “early final”, with Joachim Loew’s team knowing defeat on Saturday would effectively end their campaign. The pre-tournament talk in Germany focused on the bid to become the first team for 56 years to retain the World Cup. But after a shock 1-0 defeat to Mexico, the fourtime winners must beat the Swedes in Sochi to be sure of staying in the tournament. Suddenly, the sweet taste of victory in Rio de Janeiro four years ago seems a long time ago. “Everyone is aware that this is our first ‘final’, it’s annoying that it comes so early, but it’s self-inflicted,” team director Oliver Bierhoff said. An atrocious first-half display against Mexico stunned fans in footballmad Germany, who have grown used to regular success. The World Cup winners, accustomed to easy questions from their press and the backing of adoring

fans, have been stung by a swarm of criticism. Former international players have toured TV studios, calling for under-performing players like Mesut Ozil and Sami Khedira to be dropped. Behind the high walls of the team hotel outside Moscow, “frank words”
were exchanged between the players. “There has never been such strong communication within the team before,” captain Manuel Neuer said. The uncomfortable situation has blown apart the myth of Germany being a “tournament team”, a phrase Toni Kroos used
before the first game to describe a team that always raises its game when trophies are at stake. “Perhaps we took it a bit too lightly, (in thinking) that when the tournament started we would be fresh and have our usual strengths on the pitch,” admitted Thomas Mueller.
“We were wrong to assume that.” The German public now demands wins over Sweden, then South Korea next Wednesday in Kazan, to push them up the Group F table, putting the squad under “enormous pressure”, added Mueller. The determination is make amends after the Mexico debacle is clear. “Everyone is ready to fight for their lives,” said 22-year-old striker Timo Werner, who was not part of the winning squad four years ago. This is the first crisis facing head coach Joachim Loew after 12 success-filled years, which saw Germany always reach at least the semifinals of every major tournament. “There has been much debate, much analysis and, of course, criticism in recent days,” said Loew. “There has been enough talk, what is important now is what happens on the pitch on Saturday. I think we all have the common goal of having a successful World Cup after a disappointing start: the team, the fans, the clubs, the whole of German football stands together,” said Loew.
