Germany eliminated from 2018 World Cup

KAZAN (RUSSIA) JUN 27 (AGENCIES): Everyone was waiting for Germany to score another late World Cup-saving goal. It never came. Instead, the Germans have become the fourth defending champions to be eliminated in the group stage following a 2-0 loss to South Korea on Wednesday.

France in 2002, Italy in 2010 and Spain in 2014 were previous defending champions to get eliminated in the group stage.

Germany allowed a pair of injury-time goals while knowing a 1-0 victory would have been enough to advance because of the result in the other group match. Germany ended up last in Group F while Sweden and Mexico advanced to the round of 16. South Korea was also eliminated despite the victory. It was the first time Germany has been knocked out in the first round since 1938.

All four teams in the group had a chance to advance in games, but Sweden’s 3-0 lead over Mexico put Germany in prime position to move on as well -- if the Germans could score against the South Koreans. That was the problem, for Germany.

KOHIMA, JUN 27 (NPN): In yet another major seizure, at least 1,666 kg of fish injected with harmful formalin were recovered from different fish shops in the State Capital on Wednesday by a Food Safety team from the Health & Family Welfare department in the presence of Kohima Municipal Council (KMC) and district

administration officials, besides Angami Youth Organization (AYO) and Kohima Village Youth Organisation (KVYO) members.

Initially, tests were performed on fish samples collected from five to six shops in and around TCP Gate and Phoolbari. And as the samples tested positive for formalin, huge quantities of fish were later recovered from other shops and dis-

posed off at KMC dumping site around 7.30 p.m.

Food safety officer Kezhangulie Yimchungru informed Nagaland Post that samples of 12 species of fish tested positive, including local fish put up for sale by local women. However, he clarified that local shrimps being sold by local women tested negative.

On being asked whether there was any directive to ban all kinds of fish from being brought to the State or Kohima, the food safety officer said so far no such directive had been received.

According to reports, most fish traders tried to hide their fish stock, but the authorities compelled them to bring them out.

It may be mentioned that the fish samples were tested at the only mobile testing unit which was stationed at TCP junction here.

It may be recalled that on Monday, 5,280 kg of fish were destroyed in Kohima after it was found to contain high levels of formalin.

No fish import till test results arrive: DCCI DIMAPUR, JUN 27 (NPN): Dimapur Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) has complimented the Health & Family Welfare department for banning sale of formalin-injected fish, which posed a huge threat to human health, in the State.

In a press release, the trade body also informed fish consumers that for the sake of public health no fish was being imported into the State for sale or auction for the last three days after the ban. It added that no fish would be imported from outside the State till results of the tests on fish samples arrived.

Reminding the people that fish samples

were collected from importers and sent to Guwahati for tests to ascertain the presence of formalin in them, DCCI also warned of strict action against those firms involved in supplying fish to the state, if the tests proved positive. It, however, urged the public not to make hasty conclusions as the result was still awaited.

DCCI assured the people of the State that as a trade body it was working overtime to ensure supply of quality products to consumers, even as it urged them to remain vigilant and inform it in case of any business malpractice at mobile number 70055 26728.

School Education dept rejects ANATG claims DIMAPUR, JUNE 27 (NPN): Following the claims made by All Nagaland Ad hoc Teachers’ Group (ANATG) 2015 batch on Tuesday that the State government had agreed to file an interlocutory application (IA) before the Gauhati High Court seeking modification of its July 2017 interim order and take the 1,166 ad hoc teachers out of its purview, besides offering to grant pay scale to ad hoc teachers, the Directorate of School Education, All Nagaland School Teachers Association (ANSTA) and Nagaland School Education Administrative Officers Association (NSEAOA) Wednesday denied making any such assurance and offers to ANATG representatives during the meeting.

In a joint statement, DoSE director, ANSTA president and NSEAOA president explained that the meeting was convened at

by branding their products.

He also cautioned the entrepreneurs from copying or borrowing others.

Commenting that Nagas were people with great pride and self-esteem, Rio, however, added that it was such a disgrace to find Nagaland rated as the third dirtiest State in the country, even though Hornbill Festival was rated as one of the best festivals in the country.

Rio said more than 11% of Nagaland’s population was employed by the State government, which, according to him, was the highest population-to-government employee ratio in the country. He said to achieve self-sufficiency, the youth should strive to become entrepreneurs and live a dignified life Meanwhile, more than 120 entrepreneurs displayed their products at the MiN centre, which comprised handicrafts, handloom textiles, sculptures, accessories, etc.

MiN is a platform to promote talented people of the State to showcase and put up their products for sale at the centre without any charges.

They said Tsopoe was misquoted as offering pay scale and filing an IA in the court. The department clarified that it did not make any offer of granting pay scale to the 2015 batch of ad hoc teachers as the matter was beyond its purview. Regarding IA, they said the meeting had only resolved to forward it to the government on top priority for further action.

Farmers training underway in Kiphire

NPF seeks Chief Minister’s response

DIMAPUR: A two-day farmers training on “focusing of horticultural crops” under “aspirational district Kiphire” is being conducted, sponsored by Central Institute of Horticulture Medziphema and organised by district horticulture officer Kiphire from June 27 to 28 at Hopongkyu Memorial Hall, Kiphire.

According to a DIPR report, the resource persons in the technical session on day one were Hesulo (HI) and Imtiwapang (HA). They spoke on the topics of package and practices of focus horticultural crops. The resource persons gave slideshow presentations also.

Around 50 farmers attended the first day program. During the farmers training, deputy commissioner Kiphire, Mohammad Ali Shihab gave a short speech and encouraged the trainees. He said that horticulture was an intensive subset of agriculture.

This was socially important because it improves how people live as well as repairing the environment and the environment’s aesthetics. He also encouraged the farmers to take the opportunity which the government had offered for development in the district. The program was presided over by district horticulture officer, Senkalemba P. He also distributed seeds to all the farmers who attended the training.

DIMAPUR: Keeping alive the alleged remarks of the chief minister on the issue of Naga Integration and Citizenship Amendment Bill 2016, the Naga People’s Front (NPF) has demanded that the state chief minister issue “a specific and precise reply” at the earliest without diverting from the key issues. NPF also asked the chief minister to not respond through the NDPP press and media committee, which it said “tends to give statement without knowing the head or tail of the matter.”

According to information and publicity wing of the leader of opposition, a joint meeting of all the 26 NPF legislators was held on June 27 in Dimapur, where the members deliberated the issue of Naga integration and Citizenship Amendment Bill 2016.

NPF said that it was “an undying wish and a long cherished dream and legitimate right of the Nagas to live as one.” It said Naga movement envisioned integration of Nagas across boundaries and borders, adding that “this legitimate right” existed much before the formation of the Naga Club in 1929.

NPF said Naga People’s Convention also insisted on integration of Naga Contiguous areas which the government of

said that Asenla Walling and Vinitoli, panel lawyers of KDLSA were the resource persons where they explained in detail important laws and schemes to protect women and children.

The program was hosted by KSUK members,

India referred to Article 3 and 4 of the Indian Constitution.

It said even three Prime Ministers of India -- Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Manmohan Singh and Narendra Modi, had acknowledged the unique history of the Nagas. It said interlocutor for Naga Peace Talks, RN Ravi, had also not touched the “hornet nest on the issue of Naga integration, knowing the far reaching affects it would have on the peace talk.”

Therefore, NPF said the state chief minister had “no right to decide on this paramount matter that involved the future of the entire Nagas living across interstate as well as international borders.”

It said Naga integration was “a valid and legitimate right of the Nagas” as most of the territories were divided by British administrators.

NPF asserted that integration or greater autonomy would depend on the final outcome of the ongoing negotiations by different political groups with the government of India. “And till such time, nobody has the authority to denounce integration unless one is mad because it would tantamount to betrayal of our Naga nation,” it added.

posed Amendment of the Citizenship Bill as “major concern” for all the states in the North East, the NPF said with regard to Nagaland the proposed bill would “directly challenge” Article 371A and the indigenous rights of the people.

It claimed that the Bill would make indigenous certificate and the ILP regulation not tenable “due to the fact” that the Centre proposes to give citizenship by cutting residential proof from 11 years to 6 years allowing recognition of citizenship to even those illegal immigrants.

“Unlike what the Chief Minister would like to perceive, this bill will have adverse effects on Article 371 A,” NPF said, adding that indigenous land and resources right would be challenged and buying of tribal land by non Tribals in the name of law and development would become rampant.

Calling the statement that Nagaland will not oppose the Bill because it has special provision under Article 371 A to protect us a questionable one, NPF said it was a serious breach of trust because the citizenship Amendment itself challenges the rights of the indigenous people and undermines Article 371 A.

However, in case of any problems, then we will oppose, that is our stand”.

The NPF termed it as the most absurd and ridiculous statement of all time to be ever made by a chief minister and questioned if he was in his right state of mind or was under pressure or obligation. It further questioned if he was aware of the difference between 371 A and Inner Line Regulation.

The NPF appealed to all “right thinking citizens of the state” to condemn such acts of deceit and betrayal that sought to compromise Nagas’ unique history.

“A day is not far when Nagas will become minority in our own land” it asserted. The NPF urged the “right thinking citizens” to remain alert and not shy away from the core issues but to oppose tooth and nail such precarious issues.

Imposing Emergency was necessary: Gogoi GUWAHATI, Jun 27 (Agencies): At a time when the Emergency imposed in 1975 is back in the headlines with BJP observing a ‘black day’ and Arun Jaitley comparing former PM Indira Gandi to Adolf Hitler, many may have forgotten Assam’s oblique connection with those dark days. Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, the then President, who acting on advice of Indira Gandhi declared the state of Emergency, was from Assam. Also from the state was the then Congress president Devakanta Barua, a staunch loyalist of Indira, who is remembered for his statement: ‘Indira is India and India is Indira’.

According to TNN, former chief minister Tarun Gogoi, who was the AICC joint secretary in-charge of Youth Congress and Seva Dal back then, was also a close confidante of Sanjay Gandhi. Now remembering the events forty-three years later, Gogoi, who remains one of the oldest loyalists of the Gandhi family, was unhesistant to call Indria the biggest champion of democracy.

The octogenarian leader, who was ousted by BJP in 2016 after completing

Tarun Gogoi three terms in Assam, said, “I consider Indira Gandhi to be the greatest champion of democracy. The Emergency gave her absolute powers but she decided to follow the people’s mandate because she was not a dictator. She lost the 1977 election because the people were unhappy with her for imposing the Emergency.

Three years later, the people of the country brought her back to power.”

Recalling the events, he added, “Except Indira Gandhi and maybe Sanjay Gandhi, no one knew until the morning of June 25 that that the Emergency was being inposed. Even the Union ministers came to know of it at the cabinet meeting held in the morning. This decision was kept a secret with utmost care

Committee cancels visit to disputed Indo-Myanmar border Correspondent

IMPHAL, Jun 27: Manipur government’s high power committee to look into the matter of shifting of border pillars at the Manipur sector of Indo-Myanmar towards Indian side has cancelled its scheduled visit to the disputed areas, on Wednesday.

The committee headed by state revenue minister was scheduled to conduct a spot verification at the disputed areas Wednesday but has been cancelled at the last moment.

A highly reliable source said that ‘security reason’ was behind the cancellation of the scheduled visit.

Myanmar government has reportedly deployed a large column of army at places where various civil society organizations based in Manipur alleged erecting some subsidiary border pil-

lars of the Indo-Myanmar border at places three kilometer towards Manipur territory.

Deputy commissioner of Tengnoupal district, in a recent statement, stated that around three kilometers of Manipur’s territory have been lost to Myanmar on account of fresh erection of subsidiary border pillars at Kwatha Khunou.

On June 25, a team of United Committee Manipur (UCM) visited the site where the pillars were erected.

The visiting team registered a strong protest against shifting of the border pillars towards Manipur side.

Villagers at the border areas said that they can see presence of a large number of Myanmar Army conducting patrolling in the area after the visit by the civil society organizations in the last few days.

to ensure no one came to know of it. Even Congress president Devakanta Barua, who was the most influential person at that point of time, besides being Indira’s right-hand man, had no idea about it. Fakhruddin gave his consent because he knew the Emergency could not be imposed without his approval.”

Pointing out that most Congress leaders stood by the Prime Minister’s decision, the veteran Congress leader claimed that it was the right choice to declare a state of Emergency at that time. “There were some mistakes that could have been avoided, like the arrest of opposition leaders such as Jay Prakash, LK Advani, Atal Behari Vajpayee, Moraji Desai. Press censorship was also a wrong decision.

All these mistakes have been accepted by the leadership.

But before we criticize Indira Gandhi, we have to see the circumstances that led to this decision. There was chaos across the country as Jay Prakash Narayan had united the opposition and had asked the Army to revolt. Soon after the Emergency was declared, discipline was restored,” Gogoi said.

Govt free to probe charges against ED officer, says SC

New Delhi, Jun 27 (PTI): No officer should be under a “cloud” and blanket clean chit cannot be given to anybody, the Supreme Court observed today, as it told the government that it was free to look into the “serious” allegations against ED officer Rajeshwar Singh, who is probing the “highly sensitive” 2G spectrum case and the Aircel-Maxis deal.

A vacation bench of Justices Arun Mishra and Sanjay Kishan Kaul, which was of the view that the sensitive matter involved national security, said the allegations against Singh were required to be looked into and the government should take a call whether he would have any role to play in the further probe.

Modifying its interim order granting Singh protection against an inquiry, the court referred to the Centre’s affidavit which stated that it did not intend to protect anybody,

Rajeshwar Singh (file) including the high or the mighty, and observed that it was nobody’s case that government was “seeking to thwart the investigation”.

The bench said it was “troubled” with the Centre’s response as documents placed before it in a sealed cover contained “startling” facts.

“We direct that the government is free to look into the materials against r e s p o n d e n t nu m b e r 3 (Rajeshwar Singh) and the same can be looked into,” the bench ordered. “... It will be the call

Making progress in Bukhari murder case, says J&K police New Delhi, Jun 27 (agencies):Jammu and Kashmir police on Wednesday said it made “significant headway” in investigating the killing of Rising Kashmir editor Shujaat Bukhari by identifying the gunmen, a blogger who ran a smear campaign against Bukhari, and arresting a militant from an encounter site in south Kashmir.

A top police official told The Hindu that the three armed bikers, who were captured on several CCTvs in busy Lal Chowk in Srinagar on the day of the killing, have been identified by “matching the pictures” and “human intelligence”.

“Two locals are involved in the killing. There are strong pointers that one biker wearing spectacles is from a village in Kulgam.

Another wearing helmet too is from south Kashmir,” a top police official said.

He said the CCTV footage assembled from several locations are being “pieced together”. The third militant, sitting in between the driver and the pillion rider “is a foreign militant”.

“There is a striking resemblance with escaped

Shujaat Bukhari (file) Lashkar-e-Taiba militant Naveed Jutt. The black band on the wrist, the make-up, the muscular biceps, all point at Jutt. However, the identification is still the subject of investigation,” said another official.

The arrest of an LeT militant in south Kashmir’s Kulgam recently has helped the investigators, the official said.

Meanwhile, the blogger, whom the police believe is a militant from Srinagar and based in Pakistan now, has been identified.

Gehlot accuses Rajasthan govt of fund misuse Jaipur, Jun 27 (IANS): AICC General Secretary Ashok Gehlot on Wednesday said government machinery and crores of rupees are being wasted to collect crowds for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s proposed visit to Jaipur on July 7, the schedule of which is yet to be made official.

The state officials have been given targets to bring in a huge number of beneficiaries of government-run schemes from the rural areas of Rajasthan for Modi’s address, Gehlot said at a press conference. In the entire process, government resources in the form of officials, vehicles and funds are openly being misutilised, incurring heavy losses to the state exchequer, the All India Congress Committee (AICC) leader added.

According to BJP sources, this time Modi’s gathering will have around 2.29 lakh people who are beneficiaries of different government schemes. The responsibility to bring in these people has been given to MLAs, ministers and MPs.

Army Major Handa shifted to Meerut as part of probe southwest Delhi to identify the places where he could have thrown the knife, police said.

Police also spoke to the family members of the accused whether they had any inkling of his plan to kill the woman.

The 40-year-old accused was arrested from Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut on Sunday for killing the woman. Police had said that he was “obsessed” with her.

The woman’s body was found with her throat slit near the Brar Square in the Delhi Cantonment area on Saturday.

Initially, the police was informed that a woman had died in an accident. Later, when they inspected the body, it was found that her throat was slit.

The accused had allegedly run his car over her face and the body in order to make the incident appear as an accident.

Earlier, the woman was dropped at the Army Base Hospital in her husband’s official vehicle by a driver on Saturday.

of the government whether Singh will have any role to play in the matter,” it said, referring that a charge sheet has already been filed in the Aircel-Maxis deal case.

During the arguments, Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Vikramjit Banerjee, appearing for the Centre, said the government was willing to probe the charges that Singh had amassed disproportionate assets, as he handed over a communication in a sealed cover to the bench.

“Of course, the Supreme Court’s order (granting protection to Singh against inquiry) comes in our way,” the ASG said.

After per using the document, the bench observed, “As a matter of fact, when there is an allegation, whether right or wrong, against you (Singh), it has to be looked into”.

“You are simply an officer. You can’t be given a blanket clean chit. Everybody is accountable. You

must be accountable for any action. We need to ensure that you are accountable.

We don’t want to damage you or comment against you. There are very serious allegations against you,” it told the officer. It also made it clear that it has not commented against anybody.

The bench noted that the government had assured that the probe in these cases would be done as per the time schedule fixed by the top court which, on March 12, had given a deadline of six months to the CBI and ED to complete the probe.

Senior advocate R S Suri, appearing for Singh, told the bench that there was a serious issue of maintainability of the plea filed

by Rajneesh Kapur, who claims to be an investigative journalist who is seeking a probe against Singh for allegedly amassing assets which are disproportionate to his known source of income.

Rs 2,000 cr GST evasion unearthed in two months

Tech -savvy terrorists exploiting cyber space: Army Chief

New Delhi, Jun 27 (PTI): Goods and Services Tax (GST) investigation wing has detected tax evasion of over Rs 2,000 crore in two months, and data analysis reveals that only 1% of over 1.11 crore registered businesses pay 80% of the taxes, a senior official said on Wednesday. Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) member John Joseph said alike small businesses who are making mistakes while filing GST returns, multinationals and big corporates too have slipups.

“If you look at the way tax revenues are paid, it gives an alarming picture. We have registration of more than 1 crore businesses. “But if you look at where the tax is coming from, it is less than 1 lakh people paying 80% of the tax, one does not know what is happening in the system, it is an important thing to study,” Joseph said at an ASSOCHAM event in New Delhi. Joseph, who is also the DG-GSTI, said the analysis of composition dealers’ data shows that most of them have an annual turnover of Rs 5 lakh.

New Delhi, Jun 27 (PTI): Army chief Gen. Bipin Rawat today stressed on exploiting cyber space for advantage of defence forces, saying the “tech-savvy” terrorists operating from across the borders are using it for their benefit and if the armed forces don’t stay ahead of them, they may never be able overcome terrorism.

Addressing a conference on cyber security here, the Army Chief said the cyber space is important not only in conventional warfare, but is equally relevant in the sub-conventional warfare or proxy war.

“We must also develop niche capabilities to disable the adversaries’ system. Today, the terrorists operating against us from across the borders are very tech-savvy.

They are exploiting cyber

space for their advantage. If we don’t stay ahead of them, we will never be able to get over the phenomena of terrorism,” Rawat said.

He also noted that China is ramping up its capabilities in the cyber warfare. Addressing the conference, Lt Gen Satish Dua, who is the Chief of Integrated Defence Staff to the Chairman, Chiefs of Staff Committee (CISC), said there was a need to tweak the defence strategy and factor in cyber threat.

“Radicalisation is the most potent by-product of cyber warfare. Terrorist organisations have moved their propaganda online,” Dua said. Citing an example of Burhan Wani, whose killing in an encounter with the security forces in July 2016 led to an unrest in

Major Nikhil Handa (file) New Delhi, Jun 26 (PTI): The Army Major, who is accused of killing a fellow officer’s wife, will be taken to Meerut to ascertain the places he had visited after the incident, police said today.

The sharp-edged weapon with which 35-year-old Shailza Dwivedi, wife of another Army Major, was killed is yet to be recovered, they added.

Police will be taking the arrested accused, Major Nikhil Handa, to Meerut to recreate the sequence of events and to ascertain where he could have thrown the knife he used to slit the woman’s throat.

5 Kerala priests suspended over sex scandal issue New Delhi, Jun 27 (IANS): The National Commission for Women (NCW) has taken suo motu cognisance of the incident in Kerala where five priests have been suspended over allegations of sexually exploiting a married woman.

“NCW has written to the DGP and State Police Chief of Kerala directing him to investigate the matter and apprise the Commission about the detailed action,” it said in a statement.

According to the Commission, there have been reports saying that the woman’s husband was heard, in a video, saying that he has been facing pressure from the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church authorities to withdraw the complaint.

The incident which happened in Kottayam-headquartered Malankara Orthodox Church was reported after the victim’s husband complaint about it to the secretary of the Church Biju Oommen. According to Oommen, the five priests have been suspended and probe has been ordered.

The 22-year-old Wani was a poster boy for militancy in the Valley.

“To overcome other inadequacies, they used this system (cyber space) very nicely. Social media was used to build a Robinhood

Don quixotic

nion Finance Minister Arun Jaitley certainly surprised many with his recent Facebook blogs where he not only drew parallels between then prime minister Indira Gandhi and Adolf Hitler, stating that both had turned democracy into dictatorship but went further in charging Indira of going a step ahead in transforming India into a “dynastic democracy”. Jaitley wrote the blog on the 43rd anniversary of the Emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi on June 25, 1975 until its withdrawal on March 21, 1977. The emergency was imposed after a series of internal disturbances throughout India launched by opposition parties in order to force Indira to quit after she was unseated by the Allahabad High Court in June 1975 in an election petition filed by her defeated opponent Raj Narian. The period was indeed the darkest period of Indian democracy that was imposed to protect Indira’s rule though it was explained as a safeguard to protect the country from sliding into total anarchy. The emergency era has been replayed over and over again especially by leaders of erstwhile opposition parties like Bharatiya Jan Sangh, Congress (O), Bharatiya Lok Dal as well as defectors from the Congress (R) who came together to form the Janata Party. Almost all opposition leaders and critics of Indira Gandhi were jailed without trial.The constitution was suspended along with freedom of the press including civil liberties.

The nation was run on whims and diktat. Indira lifted the emergency, released all those imprisoned and called for fresh elections in 1977 in which she lost her seat and her party was drubbed. The Janata Party which came to power went on with hunt. Indira was jailed but bailed and summoned to appear court on numerous false and at times frivolous charges such as one that accused her of stealing chickens from a government guest house in a north eastern state.

Equating Indira with Hitler as dictators is a nonsense propaganda. Indira was not a murderer and neither a fascist like Hitler. Though Jaitley equated Indira with the world’s most evil and cold blooded murderer; the very Indian people voted her back from two constituencies and her party with a whopping majority and kicked out those whose claim to any achievements was in being imprisoned by Indira Gandhi.

It was like saying that even dakus and murderers who were jailed by the British became heroes after Indian independence. It may also be pertinent to note that Indira Gandhi apologised for the Emergency in public on January 24, 1978 for the emergency she imposed from June 25, 1975 to March 21, 1977.

Now what has also started many observers thinking is about the reasons why Jaitley, otherwise a suave, polite, polished and perfect gentleman would needlessly rake a 43-year old issue that has long been buried? Whom was he trying to reassure in doing that? While the BJP is right in criticising the Congress for the Emergency, its own track record of ensuring the fundamental rights of citizens is far from stellar.

Modi may be revealing something unknowingly by accusing Congress of “fear mongering” given the fact that today minorities today feel unsafe with attacks and lynching over a rumours regarding interfaith marriage or for skinning a dead cow. Grasping the last straw for 2019 may make less sense since it is not the Congress that Modi has to worry but himself and the non-Congress parties.

DailyDevotion The Overshadowing of God’s Personal Deliverance

“…I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord.

—Jeremiah 1:8 God promised Jeremiah that He would deliver him personally— “…your life shall be as a prize to you…” (Jeremiah 39:18). That is all God promises His children. Wherever God sends us, He will guard our lives. Our personal property and possessions are to be a matter of indifference to us, and our hold on these things should be very loose. If this is not the case, we will have panic, heartache, and distress.

Having the proper outlook is evidence of the deeply rooted belief in the overshadowing of God’s personal deliverance.

The Sermon on the Mount indicates that when we are on a mission for Jesus Christ, there is no time to stand up for ourselves. Jesus says, in effect, “Don’t worry about whether or not you are being treated justly.” Looking for justice is actually a sign that we have been diverted from our devotion to Him. Never look for justice in this world, but never cease to give it. If we look for justice, we will only begin to complain and to indulge ourselves in the discontent of self-pity, as if to say, “Why should I be treated like this?” If we are devoted to Jesus Christ, we have nothing to do with what we encounter, whether it is just or unjust. In essence, Jesus says, “Continue steadily on with what I have told you to do, and I will guard your life. If you try to guard it yourself, you remove yourself from My deliverance.” Even the most devout among us become atheistic in this regard— we do not believe Him. We put our common sense on the throne and then attach God’s name to it. We do lean to our own understanding, instead of trusting God with all our hearts (see Proverbs 3:5-6).

‘A Better Dimapur’ with community participation

iving for Environment (LiFE): An environmental based NGO, met with the incumbent Administrator of Dimapur Municipal Council (DMC), Mr. Moa Sangtam in the month of September, 2017. The meeting focused on waste management and the solutions available to tackle the growing plastic waste.

The idea of using plastic waste to make roads, i.e., plastic road was shared by LiFE with the Administrator and Dimapur, as with any other district, being plagued by neglected roads, the Administrator agreed on piloting the plastic road on a trial basis on its premises. The first plastic road was laid out in December 2017, with the technical assistance of the Nagaland Pollution Control Board, and till date LiFE continues with its commitment towards utilizing plastic waste. Further, with the DMC’s support, LiFE have installed fours dustbins, as a start, in different educational institutions and offices, for collecting only plastic waste. The collection is on a weekly basis, every Friday of the week.

Also, with DMC as the sponsor, LiFE organised a clean-up at the Dimapur Railway Station on May 26th, 2018 as part of the Himalayan Clean-up.

The focus of this clean-up was not merely on cleaning up but primarily, on segregation and brand audit to ascertain the types of waste and the brands that creates the most pollution so as to implement the Extented Producers Responsiblity. Altogether, 1550 kgs of waste were collected and brand audit was done on 210 kgs (23 sacks). The audit brought to light the sheer amount of plastic waste generated. the disposables dominated with a staggering 3970 pieces from only 23 sacks weighing 210 kgs. Multi-layered plastics and other non-branded plastics with 1820 and 569 pieces respectively were the second and third offenders.

As with any region, Gutkha was the major consumable with brands like Talab and Dilbag raking in the top position in the brand category with 820 pieces. Greenfield Lassi and ORS took the second positon with 88 pieces.

Third positon went to Rum Pum with 87 pieces. What was interesting was a brand - Day’s Beverage, not found in India and unheard of, reached Dimapur all the way from Philadelphia.

The number of PET bottles were very less compared to the rest as the kabari wallas scavenged it. This is the first time data on waste has been recorded, which will enable in formulating a proper waste management system. Not only this, but with proper segrgation, the waste send to the landfill will be drastically reduced as opposed to the present situation.

All these steps has been under the flagship of DMC’s initiative, “A Better Dimapur,” which aims at community participation by bringing

T

in different colonies and people to partake in making a Cleaner, Greener and Healthier Dimapur. We believe that because of such an initiative, we have been given the platform to raise our voice for protecting our environment. The issues of waste isn’t just a problem that can be solved by the DMC alone rather it has to start with each of us, in our own capacity. And we can achieve the impossible when we join hands together – public, civil societies and the authorities, for Nagaland is our natural heritage and we must protect it.

New ideas and ways take time to implement, and the plastic road is not the Silver Bullet we hoped for making Dimapur cleaner and healthier, but it certainly is the first step. The DMC has extended its hands towards the public sectors to work together and restore Dimapur, and this to us is the real Silver Bullet. We are grateful to the DMC for giving us a platform, however with or without DMC, LiFE will continue in its endeavor to make Dimapur a ‘Zero Waste’ city, because WE CARE. Team Clean Dimapur (TCD): TCD is a voluntary organisation of 100+ members connected through social media and Whatsapp with people from diverse backgrounds, it formed in the month of April 2017 with the aim to clean the streets of our own town and to spread awareness on cleanliness among the citizens of Dimapur. Team Clean Dimapur strives to inculcate the sense of belongingness, responsibility and civic sense among the citizens and has been carrying out cleanliness drives around the city, conducting seminars in schools and colleges and carrying out plantation drives. On June 2017, When the Team approached the Administrator of DMC, Moa Sangtam for his inputs and advise the Team was overwhelmed by his positive response and since then TCD has been in collaboration with DMC under the project ‘A Better Dimapur’ and have so far installed many dustbins along the stretch of Nyamo Lotha Road, City tower to Dhobinala. Under the umbrella of the project ‘A Better Dimapur’, TCD believes that a face-lift of Dimapur is never impossible with mass community participation though it might be a gradual process. DMC has been very instrumental and vocal in encouraging the young volunteers of TCD under the able administrator, Moa Sangtam. Team Clean Dimapur appreciates and acknowledges his constant support and believes that under his administration some few years down the line, Dimapur can become one of the cleanest city in India..

The Team Clean Dimapur also invites any Citizens to be a part of the team and join in our cleanliness drives .One can follow the team through the “Team Clean Dimapur”

Facebook page.

ACT OF KINDNESS: Many a times we all complain about the things around us. We become too critical sometimes about the happening in front of us and forget to admire the commendable beauties. This is the reason why Act Of Kindness began in the year 2015 with the vision to honour one another, to exercise dignity of labour, create a sense of responsibility, to stop complaining and to be doers through our selfless act of kindness.

If we want to bring change and to built our nation we must be willing to volunteer our service for our society as citizens we are all stakeholders.

This vision let us in our first mission of repairing potholes called “Smooth Ride for Dimapur “ in the year 2015 through individual donations in terms of labour’s , water, refreshments , materials such as stone chips , Bitumen and so on. This is how we began and this gave us a hope that change is possible if we all work together. Act of Kindness also initiated “Magnum Opus” in collaboration with North East Zone Cultural Centre to commemorate International Artist Day on Oct 25th which is organized every year on 24th and 25th Oct to bring together every kind of Artiste to come together under one realm.

There were many other projects taken up such as Renovation of Civil Hospital Labour Room in Collaboration with 3 Corps Rangapahar, Installation of 5KVA Solar Plant at Kevijau Colony, Orphanages Medical Camp and so on.

Corresponding with this we were all the more happy when Dimapur Municipal Council (DMC) under the leadership of Sir Moa Sangtam and his few like minded friends decided to start a project called “A Better Dimapur”, where smaller projects were taken up while allowing and inviting the public to also join and participate in this endeavour. This gave us immense joy and happiness as it correlated to our vision of bringing all the Citizens of Dimapur to come together under one realm and participate to build a nation out of love, compassion and kindness. So when we were invited to carry out a project under “A Better Dimapur” to repair the potholes in the city of Dimapur in 2017. We were honoured and delighted. We have been waiting for a time like this. To this day we have repaired potholes with the participation of our Dimapur Citizens along with some skilled labour’s in and around Dimapur city. All the materials required for the repair work was sponsored by DMC, and through our voluntary service we were able to achieve a milestone. We believe one day if we all come together like this, there will be a great transformation.

Why deny post-matric scholarship to theological students?

N

agaland State Government had denied the post-matric scholarship to theological student since 2015. When asked about the reason from the Higher Education Department, it is said that theological colleges are not under All India Survey of Higher Education (AISHE). For which the Central Government is not granting scholarship to theological students from Nagaland.

This post-matric scholarship is given through Minority Commission under the Ministry of Tribal Affairs. The Central Government grants 90% and State Government adds only 10% towards it. The other North East States like Meghalaya and Manipur still provide postmatric scholarship to theological students, who are studying under Senate of Serampore College (University). The students who are studying in Nagaland and outside Nagaland State are getting Rs. 9,000/- to Rs. 11,000/- per academic year under Minority Scholarship even today. But Nagaland Government has denied scholarship to theological students. Why am I questioning this? I have seen many theological students struggling so hard to pursue their theological studies, who would be serving God and the entire society. They must be given financial assistance.

Let us reason together the contributions of theological graduates. They make significant contribution toward the state and society in spite of many weaknesses. A few examples can be cited here.

1. They help people to have a better relationship with their Creator, God and people.

They are indeed, peace makers in the name of Jesus Christ.

They mend broken relationships in the families, between clans, villages and tribes. They advocate peaceful co-existence.

Their works have a great impact in the life of individuals and society.

2. The church promotes quality education in the state.

The church gives priority to personality development of the students apart from imparting secular education. Look at the result of church run schools and colleges, they do much better than government run schools and colleges.

3. They help the State Government in eradicating social evils such as corruption, drug and alcoholic addictions.

We all have witnessed church active involvement in Clean

When the nodal authorities who are responsible for enforcement of these laws have the habit of flagrantly flaunting the laws for personal business what can we be proud of ?

This decision of Nagaland Cabinet is therefore found

Election Movement. If there was no such movement we might have witnessed many horrors. Liquor prohibition was spear-headed by the Church leaders. Though there are debates about the merits and demerits of it, the fact is that it has controlled the free flow of liquors and save many precious lives from the destruction of liquors. The church creates a lot of awareness about the danger of human trafficking and flesh trade. Considering all these, the church leaders physically, mentally and spiritually involve in nation building.

4. The Church leaders give significant contributions in economic development.

They do not provide financial assistance, but they advocate sustainable development. They teach people to do self-reliance projects and also create awareness on the importance of organic cultivation. Indeed, it is the church that has helped our people to become economically more sustainable.

5. In the context of ecological crisis and climate change, it is the church which creates a lot of awareness on preservation and conservation of forests, flora and fauna. The church physically involve in tree plantation. It is the church leaders who advocate sustainable and eco-friendly development, which had a great impact in the whole world.

If the State Government acknowledges the contributions of the Church leaders, who had received post-matric scholarship and are serving people today. So the present theological students should also be given scholarship as they will be the church leaders tomorrow. They will contribute more to the welfare of the State. When other North East States are giving post-matric scholarship to their theological students, what is there that stops Nagaland Government to do so?

Even in Grant-in Aid, the secular private colleges are given Rs. 2,00,000/- whereas, theological colleges are given only Rs. 80,000/- per academic year. Well, we are grateful to the Higher Education Department for such a great help. Yet, it would be highly appreciated, if the State Government and the concern Department can look into the needs of theological colleges and students.

to be more saffron than in the interest of the State.

Look at the language of the Cabinet, “if went against the interest of Nagas”, what PDA can do when it is passed by Parliament if not voiced disapproval by now. This language implies that when the Act is found detrimental, Nagaland will oppose without hesitation.

Illogical and farcical. This is definitely detrimental to the interest of Nagaland.

It is unfortunate to have a popular Govt. which is found to be so timid and subservient to Delhi Govt. at the cost of its own citizens.

Is this Govt. for Delhi or for Nagaland?

mours, a man was thrashed on the suspicion of being a child-lifter in Madhya Pradesh’s Singrauli district, police said.

The video of the assault, which took place in a village under the Mada Police Station limits yesterday, was doing rounds of social media.

Singrauli Superintendent of Police Vinit Jain said a mob assaulted a man identified as Rambharose (38) last evening, believing that he was part of a gang of child-lifters.

Jain said the victim is a resident of a nearby village, Badwani Majhauli, and he had nothing to do with child-lifting.

ANATG sticks to claims

(From p-1) claimed that after receiving a positive response from the directorate, the organisation held an emergency consultative meeting with all the aggrieved ad hoc teachers and in which it was collectively resolved to suspend the proposed indefinite hunger strike, while continuing with the peaceful sit-in protest at the directorate premises at Kohima.

The meeting also called on the department to file the IA immediately, even as it decided to continue with the ongoing peaceful sit-in protest until the court pronounced its verdict on the IA. The members further warned of carrying out their indefinite hunger strike, if there was any delay by the government in filing the IA. Stating that the offer to grant pay scale was not a logical move as its objective was regularisation of ad hoc teachers’ services, ANATG added that it, therefore, rejected the offer.

The emergency consultative meeting also demanded that the cabinet grant approval to its demand, failing which it threatened to carry out its indefinite hunger strike.

Chandigarh, Jun 27 (IANS): In a move aimed at bridging revenue and fiscal deficits and raising funds for the cash-crunched state exchequer, the Punjab cabinet on Wednesday approved the disinvestment of three ailing public sector units (PSUs).

The process of divestment of the loss-making Punjab Communications Ltd, Punjab Financial Corporation and Punjab State Industrial Development Corporation will be carried out by a core group of officers to be set up under the chairmanship of the Chief Secretary.

The decision has been taken based on the recommendations of Punjab Governance Reforms and Ethics Commission, a spokesman said here after a cabinet meeting.

“The committee has been mandated to make recommendations regarding the disinvestment of PSUs in Punjab, the report of which would be submitted to the Council of Ministers for final decision,” he added.

The decision was taken as the cabinet felt the disinvestment of the three PSUs would help in raising funds for capital expenditure and infrastructure development, funding social welfare schemes and improving the performance of PSUs by instilling professional and corporate business ethics, the spokesman said.

Punjab earned only Rs 4.90 crore as dividend in 2017-18 from its 50-odd PSUs, while the state resources locked up in these PSUs amount to Rs 7,614 crore.

The total amount of outstanding government loans of these PSUs is around Rs 25,393 crore and the unpaid loan against the government guarantee stands at Rs 18,312 crore

BENGALURU, Jun 27 (AGENCIES): KT Naveen Kumar, an accused in the activist-journalist Gauri Lankesh murder case, has agreed to undergo a narco analysis test, his lawyer said on Wednesday.

“My client has agreed to undergo a narco analysis test to prove his innocence in the Gauri Lankesh murder case. We have applied for it in the city civil court,” counsel A Vedamurthy told PTI. A city civil and Sessions Court yesterday had sought to know from Kumar whether he was ready to undergo the narco analysis test after his counsel alleged that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the murder did not conduct any test earlier.

Making submissions before the court yesterday, Vedamurthy had alleged SIT had taken Kumar for a narco analysis test in Gujarat, but it did not inform

If a suspicious-looking person is spotted, people must not take law in their hands but contact police, Jadeja said.

Based on these invoices, some entities are claiming input tax credit. Besides, without actually exporting goods, some entities are claiming GST refunds based on fake invoices.

by Rs 120 per kg, due to reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers.

Marketmen said, sentiment remained downbeat on the back of weak trend overseas as dollar firmed amid easing risk aversion and expectations of further interest rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve, eroded demand for the precious metal as a safe-haven.

Globally, gold fell by 0.32 per cent to USD 1,254.16 an ounce, its lowest since mid-December last year. Silver shed 0.49 per cent to USD 16.19 an ounce in Singapore.

Furthermore, muted demand from the local jewellers and retailers at the domestic spot markets fuelled the downtrend. In the national capital, gold of 99.9 and 99.5 per cent purity lost Rs 25 each to Rs 31,570 and Rs 31,420 per 10 gram, respectively.

New Delhi, Jun 27 (PTI): The government Wednesday hiked the price of ethanol produced from C-molasses by Rs 2.85 per litre to Rs 43.70 for the new season starting December 2018, according to sources.

For the first time, the government has also fixed the price of ethanol produced from B-molasses at Rs 47.49 per litre. So far, the price was only fixed for ethanol produced from C-molasses.

A decision in this regard was taken in a Cabinet meeting headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

According to the sources, the Cabinet increased the price of ethanol produced from Cmolasses to Rs 43.70 per litre for the 2018-19 season (December-November) from the current Rs 40.85 per litre.

The price of ethanol produced from B-molasses has been fixed higher at Rs 47.49 per litre in order to encourage sugar mills to divert from sugar production, the sources added.

Molasses is a viscous product resulting from refining sugarcane or sugar beets into sugar.

The bank may have to take a hair-cut upto 50-60 per cent in these accounts, he added.

“We have created a NCLT cell to effectively monitor the NCLT accounts. We have almost 94 (stressed) accounts referred by us as well as by other lenders amounting around Rs 12,000 crore.

“Almost 45 per cent of our gross NPA is in the NCLT,” Sahoo told shareholders here at the 16th Annual General Meeting of the Allahabad Bank.

Capital requirement for the lender during the current fiscal would be close to Rs 9,000 crore, Sahoo said on the sidelines of the meeting. “The bank would require close to Rs 9,000 crore worth capital this fiscal,” he said.

Of the total capital requirement, the bank requested the government to pump in Rs 7,000 crore and was looking to raise close to Rs 1,900 crore

India opposes use of chemical weapons The Hague, Jun 27 (IANS): India has opposed the use of chemical weapons anywhere by anybody at any time and demanded accountability of perpetrators of such acts and nondiscriminatory implementation of the UN Convention on the issue.

Indian Ambassador Venu Rajamony said India viewed the Chemical Weapons as a unique, nondiscriminatory disarmament instrument which served as a model for the elimination of an entire category of weapons of mass destruction.

“India, therefore, attaches great importance to the Chemical Weapons Convention, and stands for its full, effective and non-discriminatory implementation,” he said at the Special session of of the Conference of the States Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention, Permanent Representative of India to the organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) here.

Rajamony said it had been India’s consistent position that the use of chemical weapons anywhere, at any

Venu Rajamony

time, by anybody, under any circumstances, cannot be justified and the perpetrators of such abhorrent acts must he held accountable.

“The use of chemical weapons is in complete disregard of humanity, and is reprehensible and contrary to the provisions of the Chemical Weapons Covention as well as accepted international legal norms,” he said.

He also called for constructive engagement, dialogue and unity of purpose at the ongoing Special Session of the Conference of State Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention.

Rajamony said it was important that the extensive support and universality that the OPCW enjoyed was not dissipated as this

would undermine the longstanding credibility of the organisation.

“India attaches the highest importance to this organisation and has therefore always emphasized the importance of consensus and the need for all decisions to be taken by the members of OPCW in consultation with each other, taking on board different points of view,” he said.

Rajamony said while there was unity on the goal, there were strong differences on how to achieve this goal.

Any long-lasting and effective solution to the challenges faced by the OPCW can only be found through wide ranging consultations among States Parties, he said. The Indian envoy said the Special Session had been called for discussions on upholding the global ban against chemical weapons use. This Special Session is being held in the backdrop of the widespread concern over reports of use of chemical weapons in different parts of the world, namely, Malaysia, the UK and Northern Ireland, Syria and Iraq.

UN envoy in Yemen’s Aden to broker ceasefire

Sanaa, Jun 27 (IANS): UN Special Envoy to Yemen Martin Griffiths arrived on Wednesday in the port city of Aden to broker a ceasefire between the Saudi Arabiabacked government forces and Shia Houthi rebels.

A government official, who asked to remain anonymous, told Xinhua news agency that Griffiths arrived at Aden International Airport amid heavy security deployment and headed to the Presidential Palace to hold a meeting with the country’s President Abdu-Rabbu Mansour Hadi and other high-ranking officials.

The UN envoy is expected to make an effort by presenting a new peace deal to stop an all-out military offensive against the the Houthis in the western port city of Hodeidah, Xinhua news agency reported.s According to the government official, Griffiths might broker a ceasefire and discuss the results of his talks with Houthis, suggesting the latter to cede control of the Red Sea port to a UNsupervised committee.

Another Aden-based government official said he was not confident that a UN-supervised deal can be achieved between Houthis and the Yemeni government

to prevent an escalation of fighting around Hodeidah.

He said that expelling the Houthis out of Hodeidah was a “sovereign decision” made by Hadi after “exhausting all political solutions to convince Houthis to withdraw from Hodeidah peacefully”.

“It is impossible to stop the ongoing military operation aimed at retaking Hodeidah and ending the civilians’ suffering there.

It’s not an appropriate time for negotiations because Houthis lost that chance,” the government official added.

Last week, Griffiths held similar meetings with Houthi leaders in the country’s capital Sanaa, but reached no constructive outcomes regarding the rebels’ withdrawal from Hodeidah.

Hodeidah is the only lifeline route of supplies and humanitarian aid to northern Yemen, which is under control of the Iranian-allied Houthis. The Saudi-led coalition intervened in Yemen in March 2015 to roll back the Houthi rebels’ gains and restore Hadi’s rule. The war has killed over 10,000 people, mostly civilians and forced three million others to leave their homes.

North Korea still building at nuclear site: monitor Seoul, Jun 27 (Agencies): North Korea is carrying out rapid improvements to its nuclear research facility, a monitor said on Wednesday, despite declaring a commitment to denuclearisation of the peninsula at the Singapore summit, AFP reported.

The nuclear armed North’s leader Kim Jong Un promised to “work toward” the goal at a landmark summit in the city state earlier this month

with US President Donald Trump. But the Singapore meeting failed to clearly define denuclearisation or produce a specific timeline towards dismantling the North’s atomic weapons arsenal.

Trump claimed the process would start quickly, saying last week that “It will be a total denuclearisation, which is already taking place.”

But recent satellite imagery showed that not only

were operations continuing at present at the North’s main Yongbyon nuclear site, it was also carrying out infrastructure works, said the respected 38 North website.

“Commercial satellite imagery from June 21 indicates that improvements to the infrastructure at Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center are continuing at a rapid pace,” it said.

Pak to take unprecedented security measures during general elections Islamabad, Jun 27 (PTI): In an unprecedented move, Pakistan will deploy hundreds of thousands of soldiers both inside and outside the polling stations to boost security during the general elections on July 25, the country’s election body has announced.

In the past, the Army was usually only deployed outside the polling stations that were declared ‘most sensitive’. This time, however, troops will be deployed in and outside all polling stations across the country, The Express Tribune reported.

The Election Commission of Pakistan has written a letter to the Ministry of Defence for deployment of the Army for the general elections on July 25.

“The ECP in its letter has requested the Ministry of Defence for army deployment from July 23 till July 26,” said a statement issued by the commission.

There will be more than 85,000 polling stations

situated in around 45,000 buildings across the country.

More than 350,000 soldiers would be needed to secure those areas, the report said.

The number is nearly five times than that of the troops deployed in the 2013 elections, when attacks by the militant groups were more common.

The deployment will be in addition to the security cover the army will be providing for government printing presses where ballot-papers will be prepared.

Army Chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa today chaired a Corps Commanders’ Conference at General Headquarters to discuss the provision of security to the Election Commission of Pakistan for “free, fair and transparent conduct of General Elections 2018”.

The Generals also “reviewed (the) geo-strategic environment and recent security and other related developments in the region”, it said.

Tokyo to ban smoking in bars, restaurants from 2020

Tokyo, Jun 27 (IANS): Tokyo on Wednesday approved an anti-smoking ordinance that will ban smoking in most bars and restaurants in the capital from April 2020 and is stricter than the bill designed by the central government with a view to the Olympic Games.

The ordinance, passed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly, prohibits smoking in all bars and restaurants that hire employees -- this would exclude businesses run solely by the owner -- and regardless of their size, which covers 84 per cent of the bars and restaurants in the capital, public broadcaster NHK reported.

The new bans also covers smoking inside hospitals and administrative organizations but allows them to set up outdoor smoking areas unlike in schools, where smoking will be banned inside as well as in outdoor spaces.

Japan is one of the most permissive developed countries when it comes to smoking and has some of the worst anti-smoking regulations in the world, according to the World Health Organization.

The country’s lax regulation allows smoking in bars and restaurants without having to establish separate smoking areas although it bans smoking on the street except in designated areas.

operations” at the North’s uranium enrichment plant and several new installations at the site including an engineering office and a driveway to a building housing a nuclear reactor.

But continued operations at the site “should not be seen as having any relationship with North Korea’s pledge to denuclearise”, it added.

Nuclear officials could be “expected to proceed with business as usual until

specific orders are issued from Pyongyang”, it said.

The North last month blew up its aged but only nuclear test site at Punggye-ri where it had staged six atomic tests in a show of goodwill before the summit.

But Pyongyang has kept its counsel on the denuclearisation issue since the meeting, although state media have dialled down propaganda against the US, long dubbed the “imperialist enemy.”

AI demands trial of top Myanmar officials for Rohingya attack

Myanmar’s army is accused of a systematic campaign of ethnic cleansing.

Lo n d o n, J u n 2 7 (Agencies): Top Myanmar military officials should be tried for crimes against humanity for a systematic attack on Rohingya Muslims, Amnesty International says.

Soldiers targeted villagers in a co-ordinated campaign of rape, torture and murder, the rights group alleges.

It also says the military prepared its offensive before attacks last year led 700,000 people to flee. Myanmar has always said they were the trigger, BBC reported.

There was no immediate reaction from the military, which denies any abuses.

The Amnesty report was published shor tly before the UN’s special rapporteur on Myanmar said there was no evidence conditions for Rohingya Muslims had improved

since August last year, when violence erupted.

Yanghee Lee told the UN Human Rights Council any discussion of a safe, voluntary and dignified return was futile. In response, Myanmar’s ambassador told the UN Ms Lee lacked independence, and called for her to be replaced.

In its report Amnesty released what it says is detailed evidence of the military’s crimes during the brutal crackdown on the Muslim minority.

In August 2017, Rohingya militants - the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (Arsa) - attacked several police posts in Rakhine state.

The military responded by launching a major operation it said was targeting the militants. The military action forced tens of thousands of people from their homes and saw entire villages burned down.

About 700,000 Rohingya have now fled to Bangladesh, where they are living in refugee camps.

The Rohingya are one of the many ethnic minorities in Myanmar and make up the largest percentage of Muslims.

The government, however, sees them as illegal immigrants from Bangladesh and denies them citizenship. They are widely despised by the Burmese public.

Before the crisis, there were about one million Rohingya in Myanmar, with the majority living in Rakhine state.

The report, titled We Will Destroy Everything, says: “The ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya population was achieved by a relentless and systematic campaign in which the Myanmar security forces unlawfully killed thousands of Rohingya, including young children.”

The rights group accuses the military of sexual violence, torture, forced displacement and burning of markets and farmland to force communities to flee.

“These crimes amount to crimes against humanity under international law, as they were perpetrated as part of a widespread and systematic attack against the Rohingya population,” the study says.

4 Malayalam actresses resign from AMMA over Dileep row

WCC members (from left) Rima Kallingal, Remya Nambeesan and Geethu Mohandas.

T

he row over the reinstatement of accused actor Dileep into an artistes’ body took a turn on Wednesday with four leading actresses, including the kidnap victim, resigning from the Association of Malayalam Movie Actors.

Dileep is an accused in the February 2017 actress kidnapping case which took place in Kochi, that landed him in a Kerala jail for 85 days. Those who have decided to resign include the victim, besides Rima Kallingal, Remya Nambisan and Geetu Mohandas, all of whom are leading lights in the Malayalam film industry.

The decision to resign was posted in the official

Facebook site of the newly formed Women in Cinema Collective (WCC), led by Dileep’s former wife Manju Warrier.

The WCC had earlier also expressed its displeasure, soon after Dileep was reinstated at the annual general body meeting held in Kochi on Sunday.

The victim in the kidnapping case noted in the post: “In the past when this star had thwarted to keep me away from films by denying opportunities to me, I did approach the organisation, but no action came up.

“And now when I have gone through very tough times, the organisation appears to be protective of this person and hence I feel there

is no point in being a member of this organisation.”

Re mya N a m b i s a n wrote that she has no other way but to resign from AMMA as it has taken the most irresponsible decision with regards to the trials and tribulations faced by her co-actress.

“AMMA has taken a very inhuman stand against my actress colleague and hence I am resigning...,” said Nambisan.

“I feel I should have resigned long back because AMMA does not want any member to question their decisions. I cannot stand such acts again...,” said Geetu Mohandas, a former executive member of AMMA. (IANS)

ans of 50 Cent blasted the rapper Tuesday after he posted memes of actor Terry Crews, who testified about sexual assault on Capitol Hill Tuesday.

50 Cent, in since-deleted Instagram pictures, posted a split meme with Crews flexing and holding a rose. The top of the photo said “I got raped … My wife just watched,” and the bottom said “Gym time.”

The post received nearly 125,000 likes and received a crying-laugh emoji from Russell Simmons before it was deleted, according to The Daily Mail. Simmons has been accused of raping several women. The post generated a ton of backlash on social media.

“Im not surprised at Curtis Jacksons trash a— but Russell commenting is a disappointment,” dancer Destiney Bleu said in a tweet

referring to 50 Cent’s real name. One user said they were “disgusted” by the post. “As someone who was a fan of 50 cent since I was a kid, I’m disgusted at his ignorance and insensitive response to Terry Crew’s sexual assault story,” the Twitter user wrote. “To laugh and make jokes about such a serious matter is one of the main reasons why sexual assault victims are afraid to speak up.”

Another described the post as “alarming.”

“The reaction to Terry Crews and people laughing along with 50 Cent is alarming, this includes people like @UncleRush,” the user wrote. “There are countless Black Men and Boys who have been violated sexually who don’t tell you their stories because of reactions like these. Likely people you know.”

Olympic silvermedallist Sindhu, who had skipped the Uber Cup Finals to regain full fitness after claiming a silver at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, took some time to get into the groove before she edged out World No.14 Japan’s Aya Ohori 26-24 2115 in the opening round.

The 16-year-old Manu shot 242.5 in the 24shot final to win the yellow medal in the 10 metre air pistol event even as Anish added to India’s tally by finishing third in the men’s 25m rapid fire pistol.

China’s Kaiman Lu took the silver with an effort of 236.9, a massive 5.6 points behind the Indian’s score while another Chinese Xue Li settled for the bronze with a final round score of 216.2. This was Manu’s seventh individual gold in an International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) competition and the third with a world record.

Manu had earlier combined with team-mates Mahima Turhi Agrawal and Devanshi Rana to win the team bronze with a total score of 1694 after the qualification round. Reigning Commonwealth Games champion Anish claimed his fourth international medal of the year when he shot 24 in the Junior Men’s final of the 25m rapid fire event.

In the second game, Srikanth and Jorgensen fought hard to move to 5-5 before the Indian broke off and grabbed an 11-6 lead at the interval with a solid smash.

He kept dominating the rallies and eventually reached match point with another powerful smash, sealing the contest when the Dane went long. In the women’s singles, Sindhu’s slender 8-6 lead vaporised when Ohori had a 12-10 and 15-13 advantage.

But Sindhu managed to turn the tables, reaching 19-17. The Japanese came back to grab game points at 20-19 but the Indian saved one.

However, she failed to convert three game points herself as Ohori again held a 24-23 lead. In the end, Sindhu held her nerves to close out the opening game.

In the second game, Sindhu eked out a slender 8-6 lead at one stage and despite a fightback by Ohori, she managed to break free at 14-14 to comfortably seal the contest.

Holders Germany knocked out by S. Korea

Son-Heung Min slotted into an empty goal after chasing down a long punt to send Germany home.

Kazan, Jun 27 (IANS): Defending champions Germany crashed out of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in the group stage after after a stoppage-time VAR-assisted goal from Young-gwon Kim and a late second by Son Heungmin earned South Korea a famous 2-0 win in their final Group F contest here on Wednesday.

In other encounter from the same group, Sweden beat Mexico 3-0 to secure the top spot with six

points, while Mexico, which also had six points, finished second due to an inferior goal difference. South Korea ended the group stage in the third spot with three points -- same as Germany, who are also going home.

It was the first time Germany has been eliminated in the first round since 1938. Kim Young-gwon scored the first goal in the third minute of injury time.

Originally called out for offside, the goal was then given

after video review.

Son Heung-min made it 2-0 in the sixth minute of injury time after Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer came up the field to help his teammates outside the South Korea box. Son tapped the ball into an empty net after a long pass from Ju Se-jong.

Besides Germany this year, France in 2002, Italy in 2010 and Spain in 2014 were the previous defending champions to get eliminated in the group stage.

South Korea, as expectedly, deployed counterattacking strategy to foil the German heavyweights.

South Korea had only 31 per cent of ball possession in the match, and attempted only 251 passes, a third less than Germany. But those statistics weren’t important as the final score.

Against Ger many, South Korea used a defensive lineup. With the absence of their midfield orchestrator and team captain, Ki Sung-yueng, South Korea started with 4-4-2 setup, but there was a twist as usual.

Jang Hyun-soo, who started last two matches as a center back, protected back four as defensive midfielder, hoping his defensive efforts could work in the midfield against German technicians.

Koo Ja-cheol, who is with German Bundesliga side FC Augsburg, played behind Son Heung-min, another South Korean player who is familiar with Germans with his stints at Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen.

As many would have predicted, Germany, who played with a 4-4-2 formation and made five changes to their starting line-up that defeated Sweden 2-1 in the

last match, dominated possession from the midfield and ran the game carefully.

South Korea did hold on to the 0-0 score in the first half, with Germany struggling to land shots on target.

After knowing Sweden won against Mexico, Germany were desperate for goals, taking out midfielder Sami Khedira for striker Mario Gomez in the 58th minute, and Leon Goretzka for Thomas Muller in the 63rd.

With Germans moving forward, South Korea also found open space behind the opponents, and Son, with Moon Seon-min, carried the ball near to the box, but they lacked a delicate final touch.

With the Germans keep making mistakes, South Korea waited for fast break and bagged the opening goal in the 93rd following a corner kick situation and with a help of VAR system.

Frustrated Germans even moved forward their goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, and South Korea didn’t miss that opportunity. In the 96th minute, following Ju Sejong’s long pass, Son tucked the ball into the empty net for their historic win, inflicting a rare historical defeat on the European outfit.

Sweden stun Mexico 3-0 E katerinb u r g , Jun 27 (IANS): Sweden reached the round of 16 at the FIFA World Cup as Group F leaders after a convincing 3-0 victory over Mexico at the Ekaterinburg Arena here on Wednesday.

Mexico also advanced to the knockout stage as runners-up thanks to Germany’s shock defeat 2-0 to South Korea, reported Xinhua news agency.

The decisive match started with a breathtaking tempo, as both sides demonstrated aggressiveness and determination from the very beginning, and Jesus Gallardo was booked by the referee within the first minute.

A floppy back-pass of the Swedes gave Mexico first goal-scoring chance in the 16th minute, but Carlos Vela’s curling shot just missed the goal inches wide of the far post.

Sweden pulled ahead in the 50th minute when Viktor Claesson’s shot ended up an unanticipated assist for Ludwig Augustinsson, whose calm half-volley gave Sweden a 1-0 lead.

Argentina, Croatia qualify for Round 16 Maradona ‘fine’ after scare,

St. P eter s b u rg / Rostov (Russia), Jun 27 (IANS): A late goal from Marcos Rojo gave Argentina a 2-1 triumph over Nigeria in their final Group D match here on Tuesday as the two-time champions entered the FIFA World Cup pre-quarterfinals.

At Rostov, Croatia defeated Iceland 2-1 to go into the knockout rounds of the 2018 FIFA World Cup as the top team in Group D. Milan Badelj (53rd) and Ivan Perisic (90th) scored for Croatia.

Rojo scored the winner for Argentina in the 86th minute after Victor Moses’ penalty conversion in the 51st minute had cancelled out Lionel Messi’s strike in the 14th minute.

Following the win, Argentina have four points in total and they are second in the table, behind Croatia, who have nine points.

The other two teams in the group, Nigeria (three points) and Iceland (one point) have crashed out of the tournament.

the match against Nigeria with one point in their bag.

They knew that despite a win against Nigeria, who were also in contention, their spot in the Roundof-16 is not guaranteed as Croatia, who had already qualified, played Iceland.

It took only 14 minutes for the Argentines to break the deadlock. Messi controlled with his thigh a long-range aerial ball from the centre of the pitch from Ever Banega before barging

into the box and firing to the left corner of the net despite being pushed towards the right side by Kenneth Omeruo. Banega, who was not there in the starting XIs so far, had already repaid Sampaoli’s faith.

Both sides didn’t create a lot of chances during the rest of time in the first half, with Nigeria hardly testing Argentinian goalkeeper Franco Armani, who as brought into the playing XI in place of Willy

Caballero.

Four minutes into the second half, Nigeria were awarded a penalty after veteran holding midfielder Mascherano was penalised for holding Balogun inside the box while defending a corner. Chelsea winger Moses fired the spot-kick to the left as Armani dived to the wrong side.

Argentina lacked control in the middle of the pitch and Nigeria’s confidence got higher and higher

FIFA WC 2018: Argentina, Portugal a win away from epic Messi-Ronaldo showdown

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo

NEW DELHI, Jun 27 (Agencies): Football has always remained a team sport, but by the look of it, the ongoing FIFA World Cup seems to be more about one particular individual battle. The debate about who is the better footballer - Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo is an ever-lasting one. And while it may not be possible to pick either, one thing is certain: Ronaldo has had a better World Cup 2018 than his Argentine counterpart. The Portuguese has scored on four occasions to

help his side to two draws and a win, whereas Messi, barring his goal against Nigeria in the must-win encounter on Tuesday, has cut a sorry figure, Times of India reported.

However, all the stats and trivia dwarf in comparison to the thought of these two larger-than-life footballers coming together for a match. While the two have squared off countless times for their respective clubs in the La Liga, Messi and Ronaldo have not faced each other much at the international level; that

is, before now. For their ardent fans, if everything turns out well, Argentina will face Portugal in the quarter-final of the FIFA World Cup 2018. They are the two greatest footballers of modern football, and yet they have never faced each other on the world’s biggest stage but that can change in Russia.

Portugal, with five points, are placed second in Group B. So are Argentina with four points. If Portugal beat Uruguay and Argentina defeat France, the two behemoths of world

football will square off against each other in one of the most anticipated World Cup games of all time, and more importantly pit Ronaldo and Messi against each other. The two greatest footballers of the today’s era against each other in a World Cup knockout match. The stakes couldn’t get any higher.

Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in Portugal’s opener against Spain and followed it with another goal against Morocco. His off-day against Iran should not be read too much into - he missed a penalty - for Ronaldo always ups his game for crucial encounters. Messi, on the other hand, has largely been kept quiet. He missed a penalty against Iceland that resulted in a draw and hardly had possession of the ball against Croatia. But regained his touch against Nigeria where he thudded a goal in the 14th minute to get Argentina going in a must-win encounter.

as they tested the former’s resolves with several incursions inside the box.

Nigeria’s hopes fizzled in the 87th minute when Gabriel Mercado galloped down the right flank and sent a cross to the middle of the box. Rojo met the cross on the volley as his right-footed strike sent the ball to the right corner of the net to give Argentina the 2-1 lead.

Afterwards, Argentina, somehow, managed to hand on to their lead as they secured a spot in the second round.

Meanwhile, Croatia beat Iceland 2-1 to progress into the knockout rounds after goals from Milan Badelj (53rd) and Ivan Perisic (90th). Gylfi Sigurdsson had rekindled some momentary hopes for Iceland when he converted a penalty in the 76th minute. Croatia finished the group stage with nine points, having won all their three matches. Iceland finished at the bottom of the group with one point. It was a disappointing end to their campaign, which had started with a lot of promise when they held formidable Argentina 1-1 in their opening match.

chided for obscene gesture

ST PETERSBURG, Jun 27 (Agencies): Argentina great Diego Maradona said on Wednesday he was fine after appearing to take ill during the South Americans’ roller-coaster World Cup win over Nigeria on Tuesday, but found himself in hot water again after making an obscene gesture at the game, Reuters reported.

“I want to let you know I’m fine, I’m not nor was I hospitalised,” the 57-yearold said via Instagram.

Maradona, who was seen being helped to walk from his seat amid the excitement of Tuesday’s game in St. Petersburg, said a doctor had suggested he left at halftime after his neck hurt

and he felt he might faint.

“But I wanted to stay, because it was all or nothing. How could I leave?” he said.

“A kiss for you all, sorry for the fright, thanks for putting up with me, Diego is around for a bit longer!”

Dur ing the g a m e, Maradona drew attention with his antics in the stands -- lapping up the adulation from fans, unveiling a poster of himself and seemingly falling asleep at one point.

Then, after Marcos Rojo’s 86th minute winner secured Argentina’s place in the last 16, he made a middle-finger gesture with both hands. “From the hands of God, to the fingers of

shame”, read one headline in Latin America, referring to Maradona’s “Hand of God” goal against England at the 1986 World Cup. The Argentine is no stranger to controversy, having once shot at journalists with an air rifle, and has battled cocaine and alcohol addictions.

Gary Lineker, who played for England in the 1986 game and is now a pundit for the BBC, said Maradona had gone too far with the gesture.

“Diego Maradona perhaps let himself down with his celebration,” he said.

“You understand how he’s euphoric, that’s for sure, but this kind of reaction, really Diego?”

New ball to be used for World Cup knockout stage

M o s c o w, J u n 2 7 (IANS): World football’s governing body FIFA on Tuesday announced that a new ball will be used for the knockout phase of the ongoing World Cup in Russia.

The Adidas Telstar Mechta will replace the Telstar 18 used during the group stage of football’s biggest tournament, FIFA said on Tuesday, reports Xinhua news agency. The new red design reflects the host nation’s colours and the “rising heat” of the second half of the competition, it said, adding that the ball will be used for the first time on Saturday. “The Telstar 18 was a huge step forward technically when it came to official match balls,” Adidas Vice President of Products Dean Lokes said. “With the Telstar Mechta we have taken that same innovative design and re-imagined it.”

Each ball will be fitted with a near-field communication chip, allowing for interaction by smartphone users, according to FIFA.
