Oppn spreading lies, confusion: PM

RAJGARH, JUN 23 (AGENCIES): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday hit out at the opposition for spreading “lies, confusion and pessimism”.

The PM made a veiled attack on the Congress and said some opposition parties were working with malicious intention against the BJP government, which was working for the welfare of people.

“People trust the BJP and its government. Those spreading lies, confusion and pessimism are cut off from the ground reality,” the PM said.

The BJP government is following the vision of late Jana Sangh leader Syama Prasad Mookerjee, whose contribution to the country has been suppressed to highlight the achievements of one particular family, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday.

Without taking the ‘Gandhi’ name, Modi said, “Many heroes of the country had been willfully forgotten just to praise and glorify the people of one family and Syama Prasad Mookerjee was one of those forgotten heroes.” Praising the deeds and thoughts of Mookerjee,

whose death anniversary was on Saturday, Modi said, “His thoughts were way ahead of his times. The Make in India programme is part of his vision to make the country self-reliant, because he understood its importance for the country’s progress.”

Modi also said that country’s industrialisation, nuclear programme flowed out of Mookerjee’s vision to make the country strong.

“As the country’s first industries minister, he showed the way to progress and his thoughts on education, health and security are still relevant today,” the PM

said.

He also hit out at the Congress, alleging that the opposition party’s policy of votebank politics, by way of welfare schemes, was fading.

He highlighted the progress made by the country in four years of NDA rule and said his government had built as many houses in four years which would have taken 20 years under the previous UPA government.

“Everyone knows that during the Congress’ time, the names of housing projects, their construction and the quality of construction were shrouded in controversies,” he alleged. He said the

urban population kept rising but no attention was paid to amenities by the previous regimes.

Targeting the Congress, Modi said the party which ruled the country for maximum years never trusted the people and their hard work.

“They did not trust the strength of the country. In the last four years, we never spoke of frustration and dismay. We are the ones who are marching ahead with confidence,” he said.

He said since the BJPled NDA came to power in 2014 it started working on cities’ infrastructure as per their need in the 21st century. In the past 4 years, the NDA government sanctioned works worth Rs 2.30 lakh crore whereas the Congress government during its 10-year rule had sanctioned works worth Rs 95,000 crore.

Modi said it was the result of the government’s policies that those wearing slippers were travelling in planes today. About 10 crore people travelled aboard planes i.e. people travelling aboard planes exceeded those who travelled in AC trains last year, he said.

‘Most undergrads still lack basic English writing skills’ Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, JUN 23 (NPN): Many undergraduate students in Nagaland still lack basic English writing skills, still practise rote learning (learning by repetition) and have accorded low priority to critical thinking , despite access to information at the palms of their hands and all of which have contributed to “SMS lingo” infiltrating even into formal communication.

These were some of the observations made at the “Workshop on Challenges and Issues of Teaching Writing at the Undergraduate Level in Nagaland” held at Unity College here on Saturday.

The workshop was organized by Cue Academy Centre of Writing Skills in collaboration with department of English, Unity College. Professors from several colleges attended the workshop.

Noted Naga educators and authors shared their observations and appealed to the college professors to reach a consensus, address the root causes and

implement measures to help students write expressively and inculcate critical and analytical thinking.

The main highlight of the workshop was the addresses by the plenary speakers: assistant professor, department of English, Dimapur Government College, Shuiching Konyak Lasuh; vice principal, Tetseo College, Dimapur, Dr. Hewasa Lorin; and founder and chief instructor of Cue Academy Centre of Writing Skills at Kohima, Dr. Rukulu K. Puro.

In her address, Shuiching Konyak Lasuh lamented the poor foundation laid in the formative years. She said, as a consequence, “English even at the college level is appalling.” She pointed out there the culture of reading was hardly seen

and students today were more interested in social media than reading a book.

This has contributed to poor vocabulary and grammar, she added.

Lasuh rued the lack of interactive learning where students hardly ask any questions and teachers are also focussed mainly on completing the syllabus. She pointed out that college students still follow rote learning, adding that dependency on guide books has not encouraged independent or critical thinking.

The second plenary speaker, Dr. Hewasa Lorin, spoke on the tricky aspects of whether students should be assessed only on grammar and sentence construction or idea, analysis, and critical thinking.

NRC issue: Ex-ULFA leaders ask Assam CM to quit Cancer survivors seek people’s support GUWAHATI, JUN 23 (AGENCIES): Pro-talk ULFA leader and member of the ‘Khilonjia Suraksha Mancha (Forum on Indigenous Rights)’, Anup Chetia, has asked Assam chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal to end his alliance with the BJP by resigning as the Assam chief minister and embrace regionalism, retracing the path he had once taken.

The platform, formed by former ULFA leaders, took out a bike rally against the Citizenship Amendment Bill (2016) from Assam’s Nagaon district to the capital city of Guwahati on Saturday.

“He must live up to his recognition as the ‘Jatiya Nayak’. We would ask him to retrace the route of regionalism. If he stays true to the interest of people of Assam, he will be embraced yet again as the chief minister. Let him give up his chair, break away from the

national party, and return to regionalism for the sake of our people,” said Chetia.

Adhere to human rights norms in NRC: UN As Centre is set to complete counting the Indian citizens living in Assam

by June-end and list their names in the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and exclude illegal settlers from Bangladesh, five UN special rapporteurs have jointly have written to Union External Affairs minister Sushma Swaraj and reminded her of India’s obligation to adhere to international human rights norms and standards against racial discrimination.

The rapporteurs on minority issues, contemporary forms of racism, promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and on freedom of religion or belief in their letter stated, “There is no official policy outlining the implications for those who will be excluded from the final NRC. It is reported that they will

be treated as foreigners and that their citizenship rights may be revoked in the absence of a prior trial. They may subsequently be asked to prove their citizenship before so-called Foreigners’ Tribunals.”

They stated that NRC update has generated increased anxiety and concerns among the Bengali Muslim minority in Assam, “who have long been discriminated against due to their perceived status as foreigners, despite possessing the necessary documents to prove their citizenship.”

While acknowledging the fact that process of updating the NRC of 1951 is purely aimed at listing Indian citizens, the rapporteurs stated that local authorities in Assam are deemed to be particularly hostile towards Muslims and people of Bengali descent...”

India summons diplomat of Pak; lodges strong protest

NEW DELHI, JUN 23 (IANS): The government on Saturday summoned the Deputy High Commissioner of Pakistan and lodged a strong protest after Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan Ajay Bisaria and other consular officials were stopped from visiting a gurdwara to meet Indian pilgrims despite having necessary permission.

“The Deputy High Commissioner of Pakistan was summoned today (Saturday) and a strong protest was lodged at the denial of access to the Indian High Commissioner and consular officials of the Indian High Commission to visit Gurdwara Panja Sahib and

meet the Indian pilgrims despite a travel permission having been granted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan,” the External Affairs Ministry said in a statement.

“A strong protest was also registered by the Indian High Commission in Islamabad at the incident,” it stated. “This is the second consecutive time, Pakistan has denied access to Indian High Commissioner to meet the visiting pilgrims who are Indian nationals.”

In April too, India had lodged a strong protest after Bisaria and other consular officials were stopped from visiting the same gurdwara to meet Indian pilgrims.

India and Pakistan have a bilateral agreement that facilitates visits to religious shrines.

A standard practice has been that the Indian High Commission’s consular team is attached with visiting pilgrims, to perform consular and protocol duties, like helping out in medical or family emergencies.

According to Saturday’s ministry statement, the Indian organisers, Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC), when contacted, have expressed grave concern and dismay at the incident despite the visiting pilgrims from India having asked Pakistan organisers to facilitate a meeting with the Indian High Commissioner and High Commission officials.

“It has been conveyed to Pakistan side that preventing the Indian High Commission officials from discharging their consular responsibilities is in violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, and the 1974 bilateral protocol on visits to religious shrines,” it stated.

If men can remarry, why can’t women: Venkaiah NEW DELHI, JUN 23 (IANS): Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday called for a change in mindset towards widows, asking “if a man can remarry, why can’t a woman”?

“There is a problem in the mindset of the people, we need to change this mindset,” Naidu said during the celebration of International Widows Day. He also said that widowhood is sad for both men and women, but women suffer more.

Speaking during an event organised by the Loomba Foundation at the Vigyan Bhawan here, Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad echoed the same sentiments.

“The steps taken for the empowerment of widows will not be successful unless it is taken as a mass movement. Without a change in attitude we can not change much,” Prasad said.

The foundation, working for the widows across the world, was started by Lord Raj Loomba CBE in 1997.

Loomba urged the Indian government to take steps to improve the condition of widows in the country.

Army chief reviews security situation along LoC; meets Gov

(R) Army Chief General Bipin Rawat meets Governor N.N. Vohra at Raj Bhavan in Srinagar on Saturday.

S R I NAG A R , J U N 2 3 (PTI): Army chief General Bipin Rawat reviewed the security situation along the Line of Control (LoC) and in the hinterland in Kashmir during his day-long visit to the valley today.

The Army chief visited Kashmir Valley to review the prevailing security situation along the Line of Control and also in the hinterland, a Srinagar-based defence spokesman said. He said, accompanied by Northern Army Commander Lt. Gen Ranbir Singh and Chinar Corps Commander Lt. Gen A K Bhatt, the Army chief visited forward posts along the LoC in the frontier districts of Kupwara and

Baramulla where he was briefed on all aspects of operational and logistical preparedness. The Army chief was appreciative of the measures and standard operating procedures instituted by the units and formations to meet the challenges posed by “inimical elements”, the spokesman said.

He said commending the performance of the troops in the recent successful operations, the Army chief stressed the need to maintain extra vigil to defeat the evil designs of hostile forces and assured his full support to further strengthen the security posture. Later in the day, the Army chief called on Jammu and Kash-

mir Governor N N Vohra at the Raj Bhawan here and discussed the overall security situation in the valley, a Raj Bhawan spokesman said.

He said during their extended discussions, the Governor and the Army chief discussed issues relating to the external security environment, challenges of counter-terrorist operations in the hinterland and the arrangements which have been put on the ground for the safe conduct of forthcoming Amarnath Yatra. The Governor and the Army chief also discussed the varied steps required to be taken for assuring a stable and bright future for the youth of the state, the spokesman said.

‘No selfie’ zones in Goa to curb drowning incidents PANAJI, JUN 23 (PTI): In the wake of several incidents of drowning while clicking selfies at the beaches in Goa, the state-appointed lifeguard agency has identified 24 ‘no selfie’ points along the coast.

The agency has already put up red flags on all the beaches marking them as ‘no-swim’ zones to prevent cases of drowning.

Areas like Baga River, Dona Paula Jetty, Sinquerim Fort, Anjuna, Vagator, Morjim, Ashwem, Arambol, Kerim, area between Bambolim and Siridao in North Goa have been identified as ‘no selfie’ zones, said Ravi Shankar, chief executive of Drishti Marine, the government-appointed private lifeguard agency.

In South Goa, places including Agonda, Bogmalo, Hollant, Baina, Japanese Garden, Betul, Canaguinim, Palolem, Khola, Cabo De Rama, Polem, Galgibagh, Talpona and Rajbagh will be ‘no selfie’ zones, he added.“These points will have ‘No Selfie’ signages.

The existing signage boards are being upgraded with pictorial instructions on flags, an emergency toll-free number and dos and don’ts while visiting the beaches of Goa,” he said.

Kashmir Editors Guild flays Shiv Sena demands action against RBI Gov BJP leader’s threat to scribes

S R I NAG A R , J U N 2 3 (PTI): Kashmir Editors Guild (KEG) today condemned former minister and BJP leader Lal Singh’s statement threatening Kashmiri journalists.

“KEG has condemned the criminal statement of Singh who has issued a direct threat to the Kashmir media. Singh, who was earlier being termed as a serious sufferer of foot-inmouth disease, has moved way ahead and issued a direct threat to the media in Kashmir,” a spokesman of the KEG said in a statement here.

Singh, a BJP MLA, has warned Kashmiri journalists to draw a line between reporting facts and supporting terrorists or face the fate of Rising Kashmir editor Shujaat Bukhari, who was shot dead by militants.

“Kashmiri journalists

have created an erroneous atmosphere and I would like to ask them to draw a line...You want to live like what happened to Basharat (Shujaat Bukhari)...Take care of yourselves and draw a line so that the brotherhood is not broken and it is maintained so that progress and development is ensured,” Singh told reporters in Jammu yesterday.

In a tweet today, the BJP MLA said, “There is need to draw a line between reporting facts and supporting terrorists and their sympathisers. Misinterpretation has become a norm and reporting facts a rarity. Journalistic freedom is absolute but not at the cost of nation and nationalism.”

The guild said, “Singh’s statement indicates that he holds some information about Bukhari’s murder and must be investigated. KEG

reserves the right to lodge a police case against the lawmaker who, earlier as well, named a number of reporters for his fall from grace in wake of the Kathua probe, now in a trial stage.”

Singh and his colleague Chander Prakash Ganga had resigned on April 13 over their participation in an earlier rally in support of the accused in the gang rape and murder of the eight-year-old girl in Kathua district.

“The Congress-turnedBJP politician has seemingly talked on Kashmir media from a point of strength and possible information about the recent killing in Srinagar,” the spokesman said.

He also said the guild was perturbed over the sluggish pace with which the investigation into Bukhari’s murder are moving ahead.

MUMBAI, JUN 23 (IANS): The Shiv Sena pounced on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday, seeking to know “what action the (current) Finance Minister Piyush Goyal has taken against the RBI governor and chiefs of banks” which have been defrauded by big industrialists who have fled the country. “ H ow m a n y b a n k chairmen who gave fraudulent loans have been sent to jail? Even the BJP President Amit Shah is the Director of Ahmedabad District Cooperative Bank... It collected Rs 745.59 crore of spiked (Rs 500 - Rs 1,000) notes within five days after demonetisation,” the Sena asked.

It said that a Gujarat cabinet minister Jayesh V. Radadia is a Chairman (of Rajkot DCB), which also secured the second highest amount in the country after ADCB - Rs 693.19 crore

deposits of the old currency notes.

“How could so much money be deposited in just one (ADCB) bank? This is a serious issue and must be probed in depth,” the Sena said in sharp edits in the party mouthpieces ‘Saamana’ and ‘Dopahar Ka Saamana’.

Accusing Goyal of not viewing the issue with the seriousness it deserves, the BJP’s ally said that there was discrimination among the cooperative banks and different sets of rules were applied while dealing with various DCCBs in the country.

The Maharashtra DCCBs were debarred from exchanging/accepting the old notes, which was subsequently withdrawn, but it served to hit the banks’ economic position very badly, the Sena pointed out.

“For instance, the Nashik DCB’s deposits of Rs 341 crore was declared asuspicious’ and frozen in the bank. Other DCCBs also faced similar issues at that timea Demonetization triggered massive chaos in all sectors of the economy,” the Sena edit said.

“The country is today reeling under the impact of that demonetisation... The Reserve Bank of India Governor (Urjit Patel) is the biggest culprit for this mess and he should be prosecuted for it,” the Sena demanded.

Recalling the former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan’s observations on the issue, the Sena reiterated that “the country has paid a heavy price for demonetisation”, the unorganised sector is in complete disarray, unemployment has increased and many others lost their jobs.

The ruling ally reminded how the country was told that “terrorism would end in Jammu and Kashmir after demonetisation, but in reality, the very next day after the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s announcement on November 8, 2016, bundles of fake Rs 2,000 currencies, newly introduced, were found in that state.” It said the country is experiencing an economic mess which is increasing, and even the government’s financial advisor Arvind Subramaniam has quit and left the country.

“Amidst all this, the government is displaying its power to the public sector Bank Of Maharashtra (whose top officials including the CMD and ED were arrested this week)a This is cheating since the big fish have already absconded...” the Sena added.

Humans and cows

A

fter BJP came to power riding on a Modi wave by winning a landslide of 282 Lok Sabha seats (past the 272 halfway mark) in 2014, much to the surprise of critics, Modi’s speech was conciliatory. He said the right things and projected a man who had indeed come a long way from Gujarat. Modi promised ‘sabka sath sabka vikas’ and promised an inclusive government fashioned to serve the people and the country. However, inclusiveness did not include protection of religious minorities from the hands of religious fanatics. There have been many killings and attacks on religious minorities after 2014 and almost all of these crimes were committed by ultra right wing elements having links with the BJP or RSS. The list of gory acts is indeed long and hasn’t stopped. Last Monday on June 18, a man(identified as Kasim) was beaten and thrashed on suspicion that he was involved in cow slaughter by residents of a Thakur dominated Bajhera village in UP. Shockingly, the widely circulated video on social media, shows a mob lynching a Muslim man and injured another in Bajhera village of Pilakhua area in Hapur district on Monday evening. The video also shows policemen who came on being informed of the incident, who did not intervene as Kasim was being dragged by the mob of ‘devotees’ of the cow. Superintendent of Police (SP) of Hapur Sankalp Sharma denied allegations that Kasim, 45, was dragged in the presence of cops while the UP police posted a tweet from its official twitter handle apologising for the incident.

The unfortunate victim of rumours later died due to fatal beatings. Death either by lynching or other horrific means have been reported from various parts of India and which are quite frequent. The perpetrators are those who have taken a vow to protect cows and which often means taking the law into their own hands. People are being lynched in barbaric manner like in the medieval times because beef issue. All this is done in the name of protection of cow and which has been used to justify murderous acts over rumours. Even supposing a cow has been slaughtered, those accused should be brought to book but often the accused are slaughtered by the Gau Rakshaks (cow protectors) belonging to any of the several right wing groups owing allegiance to BJP or RSS. The hopes raised after the promises made by Modi in the Central Hall of Parliament proved short lived.

The problem is because of soft pedalling by the government in taking concrete action against cow vigilantism and punishing those who take not only the law but lives into their own hands. Against the backdrop of mayhem perpetrated in the name of protecting the holy mother cow, there have been many consequences – both politically and socially. Politically, the BJP, which has been in denial mode over patronisation of fringe outfits, has belatedly realised that it is becoming very difficult to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds.

India’s emerging image as a less tolerant, illiberal society is hardly an image that Modi would like the world to see it as especially when his government has been trying to woo foreign investments in a very significant way.

DailyDevotion “Acquainted With Grief” He is…a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. —Isaiah 53:3 We are not “acquainted with grief” in the same way our Lord was acquainted with it. We endure it and live through it, but we do not become intimate with it. At the beginning of our lives we do not bring ourselves to the point of dealing with the reality of sin. We look at life through the eyes of reason and say that if a person will control his instincts, and educate himself, he can produce a life that will slowly evolve into the life of God. But as we continue on through life, we find the presence of something which we have not yet taken into account, namely, sin— and it upsets all of our thinking and our plans. Sin has made the foundation of our thinking unpredictable, uncontrollable, and irrational.

We have to recognize that sin is a fact of life, not just a shortcoming. Sin is blatant mutiny against God, and either sin or God must die in my life. The New Testament brings us right down to this one issue— if sin rules in me, God’s life in me will be killed; if God rules in me, sin in me will be killed. There is nothing more fundamental than that. The culmination of sin was the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and what was true in the history of God on earth will also be true in your history and in mine— that is, sin will kill the life of God in us. We must mentally bring ourselves to terms with this fact of sin. It is the only explanation why Jesus Christ came to earth, and it is the explanation of the grief and sorrow of life.

Common approach on political chasm

T

he Naga cause our forbearers took initiative out of necessity and urgency and the landmark symbolized of free Naga through the declaration of Naga independence on 14th of August, 1947, and the Plebiscite of 1951, reaffirming the Naga political solidarity and aspiration for ownership in self determination has reached its peak as in the contemporary times. The materialization of the legacy of free Naga the forbearers of our nation originally envisioned for posterity to thrive and explore in, unfortunately hasn’t been attained and has been derailed from the trajectory of history along the way, yet the yearning orchestrating into the minds of generations following due to admiration of their intrepid resolve and fortitude exhibited for future, culminating to the present collective cognizance to alter socio-economic-political tremors and anomalies the contemporary Nagas have a collective responsibility to shoulder.

The zenith of clamoring conclusive political placement of Nagas, to achieve ownership and de-escalate from erroneous trajectory, to connect and regulate diplomatic evolution across global channels stands impervious to perverse pressure the common people could be introduced through means of auxiliary devices to ascribe and tantalize the real Naga cause that has fundamental roots of democracy and equality, and is not narrow, unoriginal and limited and averse to exploration via common cause by definition.

Rest assured, the people’s common appeal transmits across common network where people of diversity with common objective intercept and empathizes without violation of human rights, as instrument of common cause and peace cannot be subjected as radical elements of tyranny and terror albeit this does not pertain for snobby campaign exhibited contiguously contradiction to equality.

While propagating peace at the expense of democratic and equal rights deficit is farcically superficial at its sum value and far from truth and rights and what’s left is for

the people to discern from unorganized world view.

Peace without common rights is illusionary and also the reason behind why the people in the first place assert claim of nationalistic priorities to secure itself of common natural rights to be assumed.

Common people of the world extend resource sanctions during natural disasters without any border on humanitarian terms, and governments resolute to fidelity in emancipating democracy overtly extend aid to fellow human – the contemporary world history is axiomatic, the latest being the Syrian revolution for instance. The aspiration of the Nagas to establish political paraphernalia to culture common exploration radiates across common spectrum and hope of future prospects to communicate and aid delicate community in restoring common political priorities.

The prominent dilemma engulfed betwixt is paradoxical ascertaining hording of claimant advocating be for peoples’ wellbeing and liberation conferring it of common rights and equality with freedom labeled, which devoid of is, were and could be derisory to acknowledge as oriented for common sake initially lest conspicuously may be demagogy or autocratic centered or akin to people as a subject not linear and symmetrical in the state system.

People centered segregation of nationalistic claimant inclines towards the doctrine of people’s right and aspiration first before each own experiences, beforehand origin, fixated on pre-21st century maturation and understanding of political ideologies; human resources and relation etc., and exhibit naturally finesse way of adaptation and originality of approach upon consistent observation of growth and developmental indexes. The political paradox has downsized the growth potential of the people drastically economically and socially and this deficit of cultivating human resource overtime has rather cast roots for sustenance that has dependency on corruption in one form or the other.

To retrace back to sta-

bility within the gyration of existing system is a long shot if not futile. But the dilemma is further compounded when the apex has affirmation of resolving in the general interest whilst maintaining deviant in consulting the assent and rhetoric en-masse, and therein lies the disconnect.

This has to be addressed in distinguishing what dialogues could be meritorious when consolidated with the ground reality of the mass as a factor of assenting in issues of general interest. The escalation of enigmas that have diverged among and has established along non-linear and non-relative trajectories has dissected the political ownership and growth of the people. Many writers have illustrated the assessment and labeling of issues, events and repercussions in compartments relating to the three score and half row of political discord and debacle in the region.

The collective onus residing along the lines of discordant perilous to resurgence and taking back in control the trajectory for times incessantly without scope and blueprint is also self-defeating in par with being disposed for imposition and hatching less people oriented diplomacies.

Confronting variables that are inherent and imminent in full disclosure could definitely leverage in collective comprehension of pressing issues and would stand viable for enactment with all the dwindling enigmas because it is the people’s power drawing the last straw.

The contemporary status quo is consumption of historical contentions and factors emerged via the butterfly effect stemming from chain of events and in fact has thoroughly analyzed and imprinted with aftermath dilation vis-à-vis the present derivatives and measured with contingency projections that houses security of rights and unbiased and uncorrupt establishment of state machinery to regulate sustainable growth and development. This state presents in itself implication of contemporary scope to observe and consent appropriate measure by the people. The modern

world politics is witnessing politicians take unorthodox and unconventional route to explore political feasibilities.

This could also prove to be crucial when on an unconventional note embarking on an uncharted territory, a contractual module could facilitate for a sovereign contract union state and has relative conditions projected towards constituent and componential growth and sustainability as designated and oriented goals, to be regulated during adequate periods which can be well aligned and structured with minimal proximity towards controversial contingent. A more contrast upon deliberation could shed proper interpretation on such consignment of consolidation with consensus.

India is projected to be one of the largest economy in the world alongside China and US by the close of third decade and to achieve it has to be commitment and providence of infrastructure and capital to aspiring innovations of merit. To sustain this feat in a compact and voluminous populated economy the center and the states could cooperate on a systematic regulation that pivots growth alongside human resources, and the states among and with the apex inhabiting a singular unit for progression and development detaching from institutional bias and prejudices in almost possible spheres where people interact for production without personal assailment, the misdemeanor from alleged comprehension.

A common approach for common interest and goal could elevate the already fast growing nation within few scores and decades to the peak of sustainability and linear with technological evolution and human advancement where boundaries has little implication over the quest for resources, common rights and preserving the depleting natural environment.

This is the century of the people and India being the largest democracy could just be the facilitator and testament of people empowerment.

High hope on Naga doctors in this easy social net-working society

A

lthough Nagaland government has completed 55 years, there is no agenda for development such as, industries, factories and manufacturing units. Agenda is corruption only. What Nagaland is thinking for Nagas? Are they elected as legislators as good for nothing perhaps but for corruption only.

It is observed that government of Nagaland is the top most in competition of corruption instead of establishing industry, factories etc so as to provide jobs to the educated unemployed youths.

Now, the current burning question in Nagaland is about the educated unemployed youth. According to the state department of employment exchange, there are 70,000/- registered educated unemployed youths. All of them cannot be provided government job as that is out of question. Simultaneously there are no job avenues in the state for which the so called educated unemployed youths are not getting job/work to maintain their livelihood. Thus, as and when they feel hungry and thirsty, they cannot eat sandstones or drink urine. Therefore, willingly they are compelled to commit crime, thievery, robbery and become dacoits, gangsters and miscreants etc. Therefore, there is no tranquillity, peace and harmony in the society and they harass the government without stopping. Who is to be blamed?

Think seriously, how such problems can be eradicated for which the government should find method and formula that can be applied to establish factories, manufacturing and industrial units where the educated unemployed youths could works and maintain their livelihood. The government of Nagaland never bothers about the life of the educated unemployed youths.

The state government spend sleepless nights for corruption only and think how to become millionaire and build skyscraper buildings, for corruption is like a ball of snow, once it starts to roll, it must increase not decrease. For example, the government of Nagaland established a Sugarcane Mill at 4th Mile, DImapur but was compelled to shut down due to corruption.

Another time it established Pulp and Paper Mill, Tuli which ultimately shut down due to corruption. It was ultimately re-established again but suffering with myriad cancer and paralysis. No good progress was made, such is the condition of the attitude and functioning of the state government for the last 55 years.

If the government of Nagaland continues to practice this system, it is predicted that one day or the other Nagaland will become a “dark continent”.Ppeople of the state never bother or care and nobody knows what kind of prediction comes.

Therefore, once again the government of Nagaland should repent, revive to eradicate corruption once for all and to establish industries, factories and manufacturing units to provide jobs to the educated unemployed youths, so that the problem can be solved then and there tranquillity, peace of mind, enjoy and live lavishly like a paradise on earth as the saying goes the foundation of state is the education of the youth.

Agenda for development necessary

Sir,

Are we heading in the right direction?

Development is more talked than seen in our state.

Where does the money pumped in leaks out? There is little development seen, especially in remote areas. Talks are in progress and the long wait for a solution seems the closest ever towards success. At this critical juncture the vicious cycle of violence has raised its head once again and claimed life of fellow Naga from Konyak tribe. The recent attack in Mon dist has shaken the peace prevailing in the state. The preachers of violence have their vested interests to recreate the barbaric rule of the gun. The peaceful atmosphere is seen as a hindrance by the reckless perpetrators of violence. Is this the fight for the so called cause? Let us condemn these acts of jeopardizing our peaceful Nagaland. Time has come when we need to make our stand crystal clear, shun the gun and fight it out in the negotiations table.

Acts of violence should not be tolerated in our peaceful, civilized society striving to attain a new order of peace and development. Let us dedicate our energy, resources and focus on developing our homeland. Development in our state is in certain pockets whereas the remote areas remain untouched and out of reach. What we need is the wholehearted support of all to build roads, bridges, equip schools, provide electricity and medical care for those forgotten people. Let us not get swayed by a few hypocrites who are claiming to be fighting for the National Cause. Brethren, awake and arise to make this clarion call to unmask the masqueraders of violence.

It is time to be firm and pragmatic and take the reins of the horse in our own hands and create and steer our destiny rather than leave it to a few. Be sensible, and let Nagaland travel on the path of sustainable development, leaving the gun culture behind. Infrastructure development, job creation, self sustained agricultural production and cottage and small scale industries are the buzz words to a better tomorrow. Let us pledge not to deviate from the path of development and progress which will make our land and our people flourish and realise our true potential.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur SUNDAY, JUNE 24, 2018

NABARD was forced to issue statement: Cong country and that it was not out of the ordinary for it to collect such an amount.

“NABARD was forced to answer and issue a statement,” Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera said.

“NABARD’s independence was attacked yesterday,” he charged.

Finance Minister Piyush Goyal “forced” NABARD to issue a press statement,” Khera claimed in a statement. He said far from addressing the core allegation, the release looked like a BJP statement embedded on NABARD’s website as it only sought to defend Amit Shah.

In its own Right to Information findings, NABARD said that in 11 district cooperative banks in Gujarat, as much as Rs 3,118 crore worth of old notes were deposited within the five days after demonetisation, he said.

He said there was need to know the “compulsion” that made NABARD “suppress” its own RTI reply.

“Our senior leaders who used to say that demonetisation is a scam have been proven right. You cannot hide the truth, it will come out and it is coming out,” he said. Piyush Goyal made an effort to save Amit Shah but failed, he said.

“We also ask ‘Blog

Minister’ Arun Jaitley ji to tell us how did the scam happen in Amit Shah ji’s banks,” he said.

During the press briefing, Khera also highlighted another alleged 2,000-crore bank fraud in Maharashtra.

“Nobody has forgotten Vijay Mallya, Lalit Modi, Chhota Modi, Mehul Chowksi, Jatin Mehta, Amit Bhatnagar, and another scam comes along,” he said.

He said the scam involved Pune’s D S Kulkarni, the managing director of the DSK group, who had joined the BJP in 2014 in Union minister Rajnath Singh’s presence.

RTI activists have brought to light how the DSK group borrowed money from banks and other financial organisations in the last few years and then did not return the amount.

The DSK group owes almost Rs 1,500 crore in outstanding loans to banks and financial organisations and its total liabilities total Rs 5,400 crore, he claimed.

This was the 12th bank scam that has come to light this year, adding up to Rs 63,036 crore, Khera claimed.

Khera said under the BJP-led government the country’s institutions, including the media, worked in fear.

P. Chidambaram

NEW DELHI, JUN 23 (IANS): Union Minister Arun Jaitley’s allegation that “jehadists and Maoists” have earned the sympathy of Congress chief Rahul Gandhi is “laughable and absurd” former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said on Saturday, adding that the party is “stoutly opposed” to the two groups.

Jaitley, in his hardhitting blog post on Friday had said while “jehadis and Maoists” were threatening the rights of citizens, human rights organisations “taken over by the ultraleft” never spoke of this.

He alleged that even though the Congress historically and ideologically would have been opposed to these groups, they have earned sympathy in Rahul Gandhi’s heart. “He had no qualms about joining those who raised subversive slogans at JNU (Jawaharlal Nehru University) and Hyderabad. “With this initial success, the oth-

ers amongst the so-called federal front have forgotten the dangers of these groups to India and Indian democracy. “The political adventurists in parties like AAP (Aam Aadmi Party), TMC (Trinamool Congress) and the like only look for a political opportunity in these groups,” he wrote in his blog.

Senior Congress leader Chidambaram, hit out at Jaitley saying the United Progressive Alliance government led by the Congress had fought the jehadis in Jammu and Kashmir and brought down the level of violence substantially.

“The allegation that jehadists and Maoists have earned the sympathy of Rahul Gandhi is laughable and absurd. Congress is stoutly opposed to the two groups,” Chidambaram said in a series of tweets.

“Who can forget that Congress practically lost its entire leadership in Chhattisgarh to Maoist violence?

Under UPA, the government fought the jehadists in Jammu and Kashmir and brought down the level of violence substantially,” he added.

The Union Minister, who underwent kidney replacement in May and is yet to rejoin his office, in his blog had said that the terrorists and the jehadis were threatening the human rights of the citizens in Jammu and Kashmir.

Cancer survivors seek people’s...

(From p-1) Highlighting to the gathering palliative care, Dr. Sedevi said such approach was already in place in other parts of the world and the country and that Nagaland was also developing in this area. He stated that CIHSR has setup a unit for the same.

District Hospital Dimapur, medical superintendent, Dr. Kheshito Zhimomi, deputy director, Admins, CIHSR, Dr. Vie Meru, H.K. Khulu and Tangkhul Baptist Church pastor Candid Sareo also exhorted the gathering.

A special prayer for cancer patients, survivors and caregivers was led by Sumi Baptist Church Dimapur Sr. Pastor Rev. S. Vitoshe Swu. The programme was chaired by Chery Achumi, invocation by DABA associate pastor Toshi Longkumer, welcome address by Ahimsa Zhimo, special number by Rev. Wati Kichu and family, vote of thanks by Tina Basumatry and benediction

by Pastor Candid.

It may be noted that the cancer support group consists of survivors, patients and caregivers. The objective of the group is to ensure and understand the individual needs of cancer patients, their caregivers and family members, comforting and improving their quality of life, helping them to find meaning and purpose of life, read a note from the founder in Beyond Cancer’s newsletter.

(From p-1) She discussed various options and techniques teachers could apply to hone the writing skills of students.

Further, she stressed on the need for students to also regulate technology and use it to their advantage. She also spoke about different styles of writing, scholarly and academic, blogs writing, journalistic writing and even writing ads. She added that teachers and educators should encourage originality.

Chief instructor of Cue Academy Centre of Writing skills, Kohima, Dr. Rukulu K Puro, spoke about the need for a complete overhaul in the process of assessments of students.

In a slide show presentation, she showed how the traditional method of assessment was judgemental and puts students into categories and stamped a verdict on them.

In contrast, the alternative form of assessment does not sort out or classify students. It seeks to motivate and encourage them while ensuring that both the students and teachers are part of the learning process.

In the traditional system, students are treated as “empty vessels,” expected to memorize the knowledge dispensed by the teachers, whereas in the alternative form of assessment, both the students and teachers are collaborators.

SRINAGAR, JUN 23 (PTI): Mobile Internet services were restored today in Srinagar, a day after they were suspended as a precautionary measure to maintain law and order, a police official said. He said the decision to restore the services was taken in view of the improving situation. The authorities had yesterday barred mobile Internet services in Srinagar, Anantnag and Pulwama districts of the Valley.

The services were suspended as a precautionary measure to maintain law and order following an encounter in Anantnag district in which four militants, reportedly belonging to the Islamic State Jammu and Kashmir, were killed. One of the slain militants was from Srinagar.

Unfortunately, the central government does not recognise this need. The previous governments understood this. I am not saying that they took all necessary measures.

But things were not as bad as they are now,” he said.

An all-party delegation from Kerala had yesterday sought permission to meet the prime minister to convey their grievances over the reduced ration allocations to meet the food security needs of the state.

They were instead asked to meet the Union minister concerned.

“The PM has been ignoring Kerala. The Centre’s aversion to Kerala’s demands is leading to the collapse of several industries in the state. When we needed to see the PM and submit our requests, we were not allowed to do so,” Vijayan said. “We need a satisfied state and a strong Centre in the federal system,” Vijayan said, adding that the

During the two-day festival the mango producers will be made abreast with the latest techniques to augment the quality of production, Director of horticulture and food processing department, Raghvendra Pratap Singh said.

The festival will act as a platform to enhance knowledge about different varieties of mangoes and is also aimed at contributing to horti-tourism, he said.

LUCKNOW, JUN 23 (PTI): Mango lovers have a chance to taste over 700 varieties of the fruit at a two-day festival here with ‘Yogi mango’ named after Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath being the centre of attraction of the event.

A d i t ya n a t h t o d ay inaugurated the two-day festival dedicated to the kings of fruits and stressed that horticulture can help double farmers’ income.

“Horticulture can help in achieving the target of doubling farmers’ income and officials need to make the farmers aware of it,” he said inaugurating the festival which will showcase over 700 varieties of mango in the country.

“Uttar Pradesh is the leading mango growing state which also grows the maximum varieties,” Adityanath said.

The chief minister also hailed the effort of holding the festival which he said will help enhance the income of farmers.

Stressing the need to encourage the different varieties of mangoes grown in the state, he regretted that in the absence of prop-

gramme, an introductory note was delivered by former head of department of English, Baptist College, Kohima, Dr. Vizovonuo Elizabeth and a keynote note address by principal, C-Edge College, Dimapur, Dr. Chubatola Aier.

In her introductory note, Dr. Vizovonuo, said though writing skills play a major role in securing a job or even business, it is absent in educational institutions.

She lamented that students do not read and comprehend but simply complete a task.

They are also not taught to scrutinize and argue because there is no space in the curriculum. She appealed to the professors/lecturers not to pin the blame on the school level but to come up with effective and practical solutions.

Dr. Chubatola spoke on the relationship between linguistic competence and academic achievement. She said writing skills are crucial are it determines both the grade and fate of students.

Of all the four linguistic skills: listening, speaking reading and writing, she said speaking and writing had a direct bearing on the career and success of a person.

The workshop was chaired by assistant professor, department of English, Unity College, Tongpang Walling, who also delivered the concluding remarks.

Panel discussions and workshop activity were moderated by head of department of English, Assistant professor, Esther Chonbeni.

NEW DELHI, JUN 23 (PTI): The Congress today alleged that NABARD was “forced” to issue a statement to “suppress” its own RTI reply that notes worth over Rs 745 crore were deposited in a cooperative bank, where BJP chief Amit Shah is a director, within five days of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s demonetisation announcement.

The Congress asked Prime Minister Modi to conduct an inquiry into the matter. The Congress had yesterday demanded a probe into reports that notes worth Rs 745.58 crore were deposited in Ahmedabad District Cooperative Bank within five days of demonetisation in 2016.

However, just before the Congress made the demand, NABARD had issued a statement, saying that the average deposit amount in the Ahmedabad DCCB was Rs 46,795 per account holder, which is lower than the average per depositor in 18 DCCBs of Gujarat.

NABARD, or National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development, is the country’s apex financing agency for institutions that promote rural development.

The BJP had cited the NABARD statement to say that the Ahmedabad DCCB was one of the biggest in the

Silver also reclaimed the Rs 41,000-mark by bouncing by Rs 250 per kg due to increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers.

MUMBAI, Jun 23 (Agencies): ICICI Bank has disclosed that it has received a whistleblower complaint, alleging irregularities in respect of 31 loan accounts worth Rs 6,082 crore.

The anonymous complaint, received in March 2018, pertains to loans disbursed in earlier years and is distinct from the one which is the subject of inquiry

Mumbai, Jun 23 (Agencies): India’s foreign exchange reserves fell by $3.03 billion to $410.070 billion as on June 15, data from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) show. Foreign currency assets, which form a key component of reserves, fell by $3.05 billion from the previous week to $385.333 billion. FCAs are maintained in major currencies like US dollar, euro, pound sterling and Japanese yen. Movement in the FCA occurs mainly on account of purchase and sale of foreign exchange by the RBI, income arising out of the deployment of foreign exchange reserves, external aid receipts of the government and revaluation of assets.

NEW DELHI, Jun 23 (PTI): Commerce and Industry Minister Suresh Prabhu on Saturday directed officials to prepare a policy to set up stalls of GI products at all the airports of the country.

The move will help promote these products in the country.

A Geographical Indication (GI) is primarily an agricultural, natural or a manufactured product (handicrafts and industrial goods) originating from a definite geographical territory. Typically, such a name conveys an assurance of quality and distinctiveness, which is essentially attributable to the place of its origin.

This is the second hike

by IndiGo in recent days.

The airline had reintroduced fuel surcharge for domestic flights from May 30, due to rising aircraft fuel cost and depreciating Indian rupee.

As this surcharge, it had decided to levy Rs 200 on routes less than 1000 km, and Rs 400 on routes longer than 1000 km distance.

Jet fuel prices have risen 40% from January 2017 till last month, putting severe strain on airline finances along with factors like a weakening rupee.

Airlines say they are unable to recover the increase in cost due to the inability to hike fares thanks to stiff competition.

Haven’t quit politics: Musharraf

Pervez Musharraf

ISLAMABAD, Jun 23 (IANS): A day after resigning as the chairman of the All Pakistan Muslim League (APML), former President Pervez Musharraf said that he has not quit politics.

Musharraf, in a video message, said he had been planning to contest the upcoming general elections but wanted certain assurances, including that of not being arrested, the removal of lifetime disqualification and his name from the Exit Control List, Dawn online reported on Saturday.

The former military ruler, currently in self-exile in Dubai, sent his resignation to the Election Commission on Friday, days after he failed to return to Pakistan to appear before the Supreme Court in connection with a case related

to his lifetime disqualification from electoral politics.

“If Khawaja Asif ’s lifetime disqualification can be overturned, why not mine.” he said. “If Nawaz Sharif has the freedom to move in and outside the country, why can I not have it.”

Musharraf said that since those assurances were not given, he knew he could not do anything for his party or for himself and therefore, after consultation with other APML leaders, he said he decided not to return to the country.

T h e f o r m e r A r my Chief, however, said that he would continue to support the party he founded.

He added that his future plan of action would be announced as things unfold and assured his followers that things will take a turn for the better, the daily said.

Musharraf also asked his party members to support its new chairman Mohammad Amjad and Mehreen Malik Adam, who has been elevated to the position of secretary general.

Amjad will direct all party affairs and decide the APML’s role in the July 25 general elections.

Klaus Iohannis

BUCHAREST, Jun 23 (Agencies): Romania’s president says he will seek a new term in office, pledging to fight corruption after the leader of the ruling Social Democratic Party was convicted for abuse of power in office.

President Klaus Iohannis said on Saturday he decided to make the announcement after Social Democratic leader Liviu Dragnea was given a 3 - year jail sentence this week. The president, whose mandate expires in 2019, said public confidence in the government is very low.

After the sentencing, the Social Democrats reiterated their support for Dragnea, saying he should be considered innocent pending a final verdict. They promised to implement new laws that critics say will weaken the fight against corruption.

Assad defies US; presses assault in southwest Syria BEIRUT, Jun 23 (Agencies): Syrian government helicopters dropped barrel bombs on opposition areas of the country’s southwest on Friday for the first time in a year, a war monitor and rebel officials said, in defiance of U.S. demands that President Bashar alAssad halt the assault.

Assad has sworn to recapture the area bordering Jordan and the Israelioccupied Golan Heights and the army this week began ramping up an assault there, threatening a “deescalation” zone agreed upon by the United States and Russia last year.

The United States on Thursday reiterated its demand that the zone be respected, warning Assad and his Russian allies of “serious repercussions” of violations. It accused Damascus of initiating air strikes, artillery and rocket attacks.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday demanded an immediate end to military escalation in southwestern Syria, saying he was “concerned at the significant risks these offensives pose to regional security,” a spokesman for

the U.N. chief said.

U. S. A m b a s s a d o r to the United Nations Nikki Haley said earlier on Friday that the Syrian military escalation “unambiguously violates” the de-escalation arrangement and that over 11,000 people had already been displaced.

“Russia will ultimately bear responsibility for any further escalations in Syria,” Haley said in a statement.

A major offensive would risk a wider escalation that could draw the United States deeper into

the war. The southwest is of strategic concern to U.S.-allied Israel, which has this year stepped up attacks on Iran-backed militia allied to Assad.

The barrel bombs targeted a cluster of rebel-held towns including Busra al-

Harir northeast of Deraa city, where the government attack threatens to bisect a finger of rebel ground jutting northwards into land held by the government.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, said Syrian government helicopters had dropped more than 12 barrel bombs on the area, causing damage, but no reported deaths.

Abu Bakr al-Hassan, spokesman for the rebel group Jaish al-Thawra, which fights under the banner of the Free Syrian Army (FSA), said the munitions had been dropped on three towns and villages and that war planes had hit another.

“I believe (the bom-

bardment) is testing two things: the steadfastness of the FSA fighters and the degree of U.S. commitment to the de-escalation agreement in the south,” he told Reuters.

Syrian state television said on Friday that army units had targeted “lairs and movements of terrorists” in the area.

The Syrian government has denied using so-called barrel bombs - containers filled with explosive material that are dropped from helicopters and which cannot be accurately aimed.

However, United Nations investigators have extensively documented its use of them during the conflict.

UNI T ED NAT IONS, Jun 23 (Agencies): The UN General Assembly has backed a call from Britain, Canada, Poland and eight other countries for Russia to withdraw its troops from a breakaway region of Moldova.

The non-binding resolution was adopted Friday by a vote of 64 to 15 with 83 abstentions at the 193nation assembly.

Russia, Iran, Armenia, Belarus, Syria and North Korea were among the 15 countries that opposed the measure urging Russia to complete “unconditionally and without further delay the withdrawal” of its troops from Moldova.

Russia sent troops to Moldova’s Trans-Dniester region after the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union to quell fighting in the Russian-speaking area that declared independence from Chisinau, the Moldovan capital.

The region is considered one of the many ‘frozen conflicts’ in the former Soviet Union. Peace efforts have stumbled over demands for a Russian military withdrawal.

The latest round of suspected laser attacks have all occurred in and around the East China Sea — which is home to disputed island chains, including the Senkaku, claimed by both Japan and China, where they are known as the Diaoyu.

The area’s waters are near heavy-traffic shipping lanes, and are used regularly by both Japanese and Chinese military and civilian ships, as well as a semi-autonomous “maritime militia” which defends China’s territorial interests in the region.

Av i a t i o n We e k & Space Technology, an industry publication, quoted a spokeswoman for the US Marines who said that the attacks had originated “from a range of different sources, both ashore and from fishing vessels.”

The official CNN spoke to would not confirm that the lasers used in the Pacific were military- or commercial-grade, but even off-the-shelf laser pointers can cause a hazard to pilots.

said that at least 65 senior IS members live in Hajin.

The town has been surrounded since the end of last year by the Syrian Democratic Forces, a US-backed alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters, the monitor says.

Iraq’s air force has carried out several strikes on IS-held territory in Syria since April, including one targeting “the headquarters of IS terrorist gang leaders” in Hajin on May 24.

The following day Iraq released a video showing a strike on a huge building surrounded by palm trees and a wall which then collapsed.

IS declared a crossborder “caliphate” in Syria and Iraq in 2014, seizing a third of Iraq during a sweeping offensive.

The jihadists have since lost much ground to separate counter-offensives by Syrian and Iraqi forces as well as US-led operations, and the jihadist presence has been confined to a few holdouts in Deir Ezzor.

In December the Iraqi government declared victory over IS but the military has continued regular operations targeting mostly desert areas along the porous Syrian border.

UN backs call for Russia to withdraw from Moldova

Washington, Jun 23 (IANS): Lasers have been used to target United States aerial operations in the Pacific, with 20 incidents recorded since September 2017, according to a US military official.

The military spokeswoman, who requested not to be named, told CNN on Friday that lasers had been flashed at US aircraft, and that the sources of these flashes are suspected to be Chinese.

The latest incident occurred within the last two weeks, the official said.

None of the incidents have resulted in any medical complaints or injuries, the spokeswoman said.

The attacks appear similar to incidents that occurred in the East African country of Djibouti earlier in the year, when US military airmen were injured by lasers which the US military said originated from a nearby Chinese military base.

BAGHDA D, j u n 2 3 (Agencies): Iraq said on Saturday it had killed 45 jihadists from the Islamic State group, including senior members, in an air strike in eastern Syria, the second such operation in less than a month.

Iraqi F-16 fighter jets carried out a “successful strike targeting a meeting of Daesh (IS) leaders” yesterday in the Hajin region, in the eastern Syrian province of Deir Ezzor, a military statement said.

Among those killed, it said, were a senior member of the jihadists’ “ministry of war”, his deputy, a local commander and a media official. There was no independent confirmation.

Three houses linked by an underground tunnel were also destroyed, it said, adding that the air strike was carried out based on “intelligence” and at the request of Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi.

Lindsey Vonn and P.K. Subban spotted on date in Las Vegas

Is Prince Edward scared he and Sophie are being eclipsed?

L D oes anyone know who Prince Edward really is? The Queen’s youngest son is not the kind of man to draw attention to himself if he can help it.

So headlines in recent days mocking him as ‘Air Miles Eddie’ must have caused him considerable discomfort.

Unusually for him, he used a private executive jet as well as a helicopter over two days on public engagements in Dorset and the West Midlands — engagements that he could easily have carried out by road or rail.

The cost to the taxpayer was in the region of £13,000 rather than just a few hundred pounds, giving rise to accusations that he was guilty of ‘a blatant abuse of public money’.

What is strange about this is that ever since he was forced to give up a commercial life as a TV producer, he has been extremely careful, as a full-time royal, to do everything by the book — so very different from his demanding brother Prince Andrew. So what has changed?

The theor y among courtiers is that the Earl of Wessex fears he and his wife Sophie are in danger of being eclipsed from the excitement of the royal show. He wants to raise their profile.

Tuesday — the opening day of Royal Ascot — was the couple’s 19th wedding anniversary.

But it was the glamorous Meghan who inevitably attracted all the attention.

All this came on top of those extraordinary pictures of the newest royal and the Queen in highly animated

conversation as they carried out engagements together in Cheshire last week.

Sophie, of course, has been the Queen’s favourite family companion for some years. The former PR girl, now 53, rides out with the Queen at Windsor and also goes carriage driving with her father-in-law Prince Philip, whom she calls ‘Papa’ (just as Princess Diana did).

‘She makes him laugh, which with Philip is half the battle,’ says a friend.

On most Sunday afternoons they and their children Louise, 14, and James, ten, have ‘five o’clock tea’ with the Queen at Windsor Castle, usually in the Oak Room. These are precious private moments, where the Queen herself pours the tea, and not even the personable Meghan is ever likely to take Sophie’s place there.

But, in their official lives, Edward and Sophie, as senior royals, have never enjoyed the same kind of public affection and enthusiasm as the other members of the family. The arrival just last month of another duchess, Meghan, pushed her down to sixth — and in the quaint custom of royal protocol she has to curtsy to the Duchess

of Sussex (and to the Duchess of Cambridge), whereas she only has to curtsy to Sophie if Prince Edward is with her.

So in what is the highly competitive world of life inside palace walls, one can perhaps understand Edward’s anxieties, especially as ‘the firm’ moves towards his eldest brother Charles’s plans for a slimmed-down monarchy. Edward was even angrier than Prince Andrew when, together with Princess Anne, they were excluded from the Buckingham Palace balcony for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee flypast in 2012.

And yet, for Sophie, relative anonymity — one might even call it obscurity — has been a blessing.

It has meant she continues to drive the children to school in Ascot and Windsor like other schoolrun mums, and can have informal lunches with girlfriends, confident in the knowledge that people won’t keep pointing her out.

However, friends explaining her appreciation of being able to live life as a normal family conveniently overlook the 57-room Bagshot Park, a rambling Victorian mansion which is their

home in Surrey.

Though it should be pointed out that a large part of the place is office space and they occupy only about a quarter of it.

Their support staff are based in offices there, rather than in Buckingham Palace, and they have a relatively small domestic staff of a ‘house manager’ and an assistant, a chef, two cleaners who live out and a full-time nanny.

Sophie’s father Christopher Rhys-Jones, 87, often stays with them.

Since Sophie’s mother died in 2005, he has become a regular name on the guest list of the Queen, who likes him very much, and he has been touched by the friendship the royals have shown him.

He was not, however, in the Queen’s Royal Ascot party this week, almost certainly because he finds such major occasions a bit stressful at his age.

In this area, at least, Prince Edward finds enormous comfort.

Not for him and Sophie the excruciating spectacle of a father-in-law in cahoots with the paparazzi, for example, or, in a toe-curling television interview, revealing the private thoughts and views of his royal son-in-law.

But then Christopher RhysJones is no Thomas Markle.

Like Kate’s father, Michael Middleton, he has kept a discreet silence on what he has seen and heard.

S o c a n we ex p e c t Prince Edward to become ‘Air Miles Andy Mark II’?

Thus far, it must be said, Edward has carefully avoided the royal pitfalls that have characterised his elder brother’s life.

Seated at a patio table near the DJ booth, Vonn, 33, and Subban, 29, ordered a magnum bottle of Belvedere vodka and a bottle of Clase Azul tequila, as they hung out with family and friends.

The twosome was said to be at Intrigue past 2 a.m.

Prior to Subban, Vonn dated NFL coach Kenan Smith for a year. They broke up last November.

Netflix communications chief out over insensitive comments

N

etflix chief communications off i c e r Jo n a t h a n Friedland is leaving the company following a controversy over insensitive remarks.

Friedland announced the departure on Twitter Friday, saying that he felt awful about “the distress this lapse caused”, reports variety.com.

Friedland had joined Netflix as VP of communications in 2011, and became the company’s chief communications officer a year later.

His ascend at the company coincided with Netflix’s first major PR debacle, the proposed split of its DVD business into a separate company called Quickster - which Netflix quickly walked back on.

Before joining Netflix, Friedland had served in communications roles for Disney. He was a journalist by trade before

crossing over to work in comms, and worked for a decade for the Wall Street Journal, where he served as the paper’s Los Angeles bureau chief.

A Netf lix spokesperson referred Variety to Friedland’s Twitter statement, saying that the company didn’t have anything further to add.

There is no word on any possible replacement for Friedland, reports variety. com.

In a memo to staff Friday, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings described two incidents in which Friedland used the N-word,

writing of Friedland, “his descriptive use of the Nword on at least two occasions at work showed unacceptably low racial awareness and sensitivity, and is not in line with our values as a company.”

“I’ve made a decision to let go of Jonathan Friedland. Jonathan contributed greatly in many areas, but his descriptive use of the N-word on at least two occasions at work showed unacceptably low racial awareness and sensitivity, and is not in line with our values as a company.

“The first incident was several months ago in a PR meeting about sensitive words. Several people afterwards told him how inappropriate and hurtful his use of the N-word was, and Jonathan apologised to those that had been in the meeting. We hoped this was an awful anomaly never to be repeated.

India beat Pak in Champions Trophy opener Federer reaches 12th Halle final

Mateo Kovacic

Madrid, Jun 23 (Agencies): Mateo Kovacic has revealed he wants to leave Real Madrid this summer and move to a club where he can “play regularly”.

The 24-year-old midfielder is currently in Russia with Croatia and has featured in both of their opening Group D games registering one assist.

Kovacic has become frustrated by a lack of game time in Madrid - struggling to compete with Luka Modric and Toni Kross for a first-team place - making only 55 starts since joining from Inter Milan in 2015.

“I would like to play more at Real Madrid because I love football and I love being on the pitch,” he told Spanish publication Marca. “I know that it’s difficult to be a starter at Real Madrid, especially when I arrived at a really young

age.” “I understand the situation, but because of that I believe the best thing for me would be to go to another club where I’d have the opportunity to play regularly as a starter. I think I can have this opportunity and it’s one I want right now.”

“I think that all of the players at Real Madrid are important,” he added.”The problem is that it’s difficult to get consistency when you’re a young player. Without that consistency I will never be able to show my potential.

Of course I am not happy when I don’t play.”

“I have really enjoyed these three years in Madrid, alongside some incredible team-mates and winning trophies, but I haven’t been completely happy because my contribution to all of this hasn’t been complete and this is something I want to change.”

M a d r i d, J u n 2 3 (IANS): Spanish tennis great Rafael Nadal has said he was feeling confident after five days of pre-Wimbledon practice on grass at Santa Ponça Tennis Club, where WTA Tour’s Mallorca Open is being held.

In contrast, Julien Benneteau, who retires after the US Open in Sep-

MILAN, Jun 23 (Agencies): The Ricketts family that owns the Chicago Cubs says it is negotiating to purchase the debt-ridden AC Milan soccer team.

The Milan office of the Edelman public relations firm, which has been hired to represent the Ricketts, says the entire family is interested in Milan for “a medium- to long-period investment and wants to create a strong bond with the city.”

The interest comes as seven-time European champion Milan faces UEFA sanctions over a breach of financial fair play regulations.

Milan last year spent more than 200 million euros (then nearly $250 million) on new players amid questions over the financial stability of the Chinese-led consortium that purchased the club from Silvio Berlusconi for $800 million in April 2017.

Serie A team Milan took a loan from U.S. private equity fund Elliott worth more than 300 million euros that club chairman Li Yonghong has struggled to pay back.

Minutes later, Indian goalkeeper PR Sreejesh made a fine save to deny Toseeq Arshad.

Pakistan kept up the pressure and earned a penalty corner in the 43rd minute but to no avail. After successfully weathering the storm, India doubled its lead in the 54th minute through 17-year-old Dilpreet, who beautifully picked up a long pass from Simranjeet and then dodged past an onrushing Butt to slot home.

Down by two goals, Pakistan were forced to withdraw its goalkeeper for an extra player but the move backfired as Indian pumped in two more goals in an open net in a span of three minutes to register the convincing win.

Mexico win; Belgium seal last 16 spot Switzerland beat Serbia 2-1

Mexico’s Javier Hernandez, left, scores his side’s second goal during the group F match against South Korea at the 2018 soccer World Cup in the Rostov Arena in Rostov-on-Don, Russia on Saturday. AP/PTI)

ROSTOV-ON-DON, Jun 23 (Agencies): Mexico bagged their second win of the World Cup as goals from Carlos Vela and Javier Hernandez steered them to a 2-1 win over South Korea, with a stunning strike by Heung-Min Son coming too late to save his side.

The result means that Mexico could qualify if Germany fail to beat Sweden later on Saturday evening, while South Korea will need a mathematical miracle to make it to the knockout stages.

Mexico were quick out of the traps in the opening half, pressing forward and passing well around the Korean team.

It was Spurs man Son

Heung-Min who looked the most dangerous for South Korea, who otherwise played a more defensive game, picking up only a fraction of possession.

Nonetheless, it was an at times reckless defensive strategy which saw Mexico awarded a number of free kicks and a penalty when Jang Hyun-soo’s arm struck the ball in the box.

Carlos Vela converted the penalty with a wonderful strike sending the keeper the wrong way to give his side a 1-0 advantage.

Jav i e r H e r n a n d e z looked to have finished the game for his side in the 66th minute when he converted a cross from Hirving Lozano’s lightning-fast counter-

attack.

S o u t h Ko r e a s aw themselves the recipients of four yellow cards as various players hacked away at their Mexican opponents, resulting in an extended period of added time in which Son made efforts to bring his side back into the game with a beautiful goal.

It was too little too late, however, for the South Koreans as the final whistle blew, the score 2-1 to Mexico.

Earlier, Belgium forwards Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku scored two goals each to help their national team thrash Tunisia 5-2 on Saturday, advancing to the 2018 FIFA World Cup knockout stage.

Confident England aim to build on winning start

After beating Panama 3-0 in the Group G opening round on Monday, the Belgian side earned its second victory, qualifying for the round of 16 regardless of the result of their upcoming clash against England on June 28.

The defeat leaves Tunisia, which suffered a 2-1 loss against England on Monday, with almost no hope of reaching the last 16.

Belgium opened the scoring with an early goal in the sixth minute from a penalty converted by Hazard, while Lukaku doubled their lead 10 minutes later off an assist from Hazard.

After just two minutes, Tunisia responded with a

goal from Dylan Bronn, and the North African team dominated the game for almost 20 minutes but had no luck finding the equaliser.

Tunisia coach Nabil Maaloul was forced to make two changes due to the injury of starters Dylan Bronn and Syam Ben Youssef in the 24th and 40th minutes respectively, with the latter leaving the field on a stretcher.

Bronn was replaced

by Hamdi Nagguez, while Ben Youssef was replaced

by Yohan Benalouane.

In the last minute of the first half, Lukaku netted the third goal for Belgium, tying Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo for the top scorer of the 2018 World Cup with four goals.

Lukaku has also become Belgium’s all-time World Cup scorer with seven goals, one more than midfielder Jan Ceulemans.

Hazard added his team’s fourth goal just six minutes into the second half.

M i c hy B a t s h u ay i Atunga drove home Belgium’s win with the final goal in the 90th minute, while Wahbi Khazri scored the Tunisia’s second goal in stoppage time.

Belgium leads Group G with six points, three points ahead of secondplaced England, while Panama and Tunisia are third and fourth with zero points.

Switzerland goalkeeper Yann Sommer cuts off a shot as Serbia’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic charges during their group E match in the Kaliningrad Stadium on Friday. (AP/PTI)

KALININGRAD, Jun 23 (Agencies): A thunderous strike by Granit Xhaka and a superb last-minute breakaway goal by Xherdan Shaqiri gave Switzerland a dramatic 2-1 win over Serbia in a swashbuckling Group E match on Friday.

Serbia went ahead with an Aleksandar Mitrovic header after five minutes to the delight of their fervent supporters at the Kaliningrad stadium.

Xhaka silenced the Serbian contingent in the 52nd minute, however, when he left fly with a left-foot shot which flew into the net from 25 metres before Shaqiri broke away to win the game at the death. The result left Brazil, 2-0 winners over Costa Rica, top with four points, ahead of Switzerland on goal difference with Serbia on three.

Brazil and Serbia meet in their final game while the Swiss face Costa Rica, already eliminated after losing their first two games.

Serbia made a flying start and Mitrovic forced Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer into an early save with a close-range header.

Sommer was powerless, however, in the fifth minute when Nemanja Matic won the ball and found Dusan Tadic, whose cross was met with a soaring header from Mitrovic. With Mitrovic proving a handful for the Swiss defence, Serbia threatened to over-run their opponents and missed another chance when a corner flew across the face of goal and Dusko Tosic just failed to make contact.

Switzerland came right back into the game seven minutes after halftime thanks to Xhaka’s fulminating strike after a rebound fell nicely into his path.

Xhaka was almost upstaged by Shaqiri who clipped the crossbar with a curling, dipping shot from the unlikeliest of angles and the match turned into a pulsating end-to-end af-

fair which was brilliantly settled by Shaqiri. Switzerland cleared a Serbia attack and a through pass sent the diminutive forward scuttling away before he slotted the ball neatly into the far corner.

Serbia question non-use of VAR

Serbian football association vice president Savo Milosevic has questioned why the video assistant referee (VAR) was not used for a penalty appeal during his team’s 1-2 World Cup loss to Switzerland here.

Referee Felix Brych waved play on after Serbia striker Aleksandar Mitrovic fell to the ground while jostling with Switzerland defenders Stephan Lichtsteiner and Fabian Schaer during the second half of the match. “I understand that maybe the referee didn’t see it, but that’s why we have VAR,” Milosevic said.

“What are those guys doing up there?”

Japan keen to flaunt attack against Senegal

YEKATERINBURG, JUN 23 (Agencies): Japan will look to further explore its attacking potential when it faces Senegal in a battle of the surprise contenders to advance to the knockout stage from Group H. Japan have largely worked on keeping things tight at the back since head coach Akira Nishino took over in April. “We had to start by building the base, which is defence,” midfielder Genki Haraguchi told Kyodo news agency.
