NEW DELHI, JUN 27 (NPN): Union Minister of State for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) Dr Jitendra Singh Thursday said that in departure from the earlier practice of 90:10 funding of Northeast projects under NLCPR flagship scheme, the Centre has agreed that under the new scheme, North East Special Infrastructure Development Scheme (NESIDS), the entire 100% of the funding is borne by the Centre.

the officials about the development projects of various states.

He informed the members that in July, 2018, the NEC was restructured through the nomination of the Home Minister as Chairman, NEC and the MoS (I/C) DoNER as the Vice-Chairman, NEC.

Kenye raises issue of CAB, Naga talk in RS DIMAPUR, JUN 27 (NPN): Lone Rajya Sabha MP from Nagaland, KG Kenye, has appealed to the government of India to take up peace process with all earnest expediently.

Participating in the Motion of Thanks on the President’s address to both houses of Parliament on Wednesday, KG Kenye said that the President did not make mention on the peace talk, which he described was “a high profile peace process” in the country.

The Rajya Sabha MP said that the last government had shown determination to solve the issue immediately back in 2014, but over the years the government was losing the steam.

MP said that the longer the issue drags on will tax both the national and the regional interest.

On the contentious Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB), KG Kenye appealed to the Centre to interact more with the states to be affected like Assam, Nagaland and neighbouring (Cont’d on p-4) states.

NSCN (I-M) censures Along for ‘nonsensical statements’ DIMAPUR, JUN 27 (NPN): NSCN (I-M) Thursday censured Nagaland minister for higher and technical education, Temjen Imna Along, for making “nonsensical statements” insensitive of the Naga people’s struggle and sacrifice.

NSCN (I-M) through its MIP maintained that Temjen Imna Along “simply to be in good book with his political boss in New Delhi” was talking in the manner making himself an authoritative person to decide the political destiny of the Nagas.

It asserted that Along had earlier faced condemnation from various quarters for making a statement that Nagas were Indians.

“Untamed as he is, again he made the statement that non-Nagas should find a place in the Nagaland Legislative Assembly,” NSCN (I-M) stated.

MIP said it was “unfortunate that a person of typical character like Temjen has appeared in the Naga political scenario.” It also accused Along of lowering the credibility of the Naga political leaders in defense of Naga’s national identity.

Denouncing Along for his “repeated statement that goes against the national interest of the Nagas”, the NSCN (I-M) said that there should be “no further dilution of the credibility of other Naga Ministers/MLAs like Temjen has done.” It said that sanctity of Naga history was not to be tampered with for vested interests.

Further, asserting that Temjen cannot afford to make a mockery of Naga’s political history, NSCN (I-M) stated that Nagas have come a long way ever since it declared Naga Independence on August 14, 1947.

NSCN (I-M) has asked Along to reconcile himself to the ground reality of Naga national identity in the context of the ongoing Indo-Naga political talks and stand himself as a responsible Naga “lest he face further condemnation from the Nagas.” It also stated that Along must bridle himself from making “reckless and misleading statements to undo the hard earned historical and political identity of the Nagas that has gained worldwide recognition as a separate national entity.”

PDCSU temporarily Anti-Inner Line Permit petition controversy attracts more flak lifts entry ban on Madhucon DPM PIL filed without BJP’s knowledge: Along State Cong questions BJP unit over PIL WCH warns public uprising, disharmony DIMAPUR, JUN 27 (NPN): Phek District Contractors’ and Suppliers’ Union (PDCSU) has temporarily revoked the entry ban on Anuj Misra, member of Ramky project Ltd and DPM of Madhucon project Ltd w.e.f June 27, 2019.

DIMAPUR, JUN 27 (NPN): Asserting that it had taken a serious view of the PIL filed by one Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay in Supreme Court against the extension of ILP to Dimapur, BJP unit has clarified that the PIL was filed without its prior knowledge.

BJP state president and Higher & technical Education minister, Temjen Imna Along claimed that till the media reported about the PIL, the party’s state unit had no knowledge of Upadhyay nor had anyone from BJP Nagaland met him.

Along recalled that Governor P.B. Acharya, in his address to the third session of 13th State Assembly, stated that the government would take legal and administrative steps to streamline the system of issuing ILP and that it would be made applicable in the entire State, including Dimapur. Fol-

lowing this, he claimed that the State government had already worked out the modalities through a committee and that the Home department was in the process of implementing it.

While the intent and decisions of the state government had been actively pursued by PDA partners, Along said the PIL had come as a surprise even to the state BJP. Given BJP’s respect for the demand and outcry of the citizens of Nagaland and Nagas, he said the matter had been viewed with utmost seriousness by BJP. He said BJP Nagaland unit would pursue the matter with the party’s central leadership. In the meantime, he said there should be no doubt about the sincerity and will of BJP Nagaland in ensuring that recommendations of the ILP committee were implemented at the earliest.

Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has expressed serious concern over the PIL filed in Supreme Court against extending ILP coverage to Dimapur district by one Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, allegedly a BJP leader. In a press release issued by its communication department, Congress said though BJP Nagaland president Temjen Imna had feigned ignorance about this person, who was also an advocate in Supreme Court, his verified profile, especially his Twitter handle and his constant PIL activism on record, proved that he was a BJP leader.

According to NPCC, the PIL could not have been filed without the knowledge of BJP or without the instigation of some elements living and prospering in Nagaland.

It alleged that BJP had so far been successful in engineering social divisions and di-

viding country to consolidate their vote bank and come to power. NPCC held the “tearing hurry” of NDPP and BJP coalition government to apply ILP in Dimapur without proper application of mind also responsible for the current situation. Admitting that the State government surely had the power to enforce ILP in Dimapur district, the party, however, asserted that the fundamental rights of those existing bona fide settlers could not be denied nor could the threat to indigenous Naga tribes due to huge influx of illegal migrants overlooked in this given situation.

The party pointed out that the PIL had now triggered serious disturbances in the minds of people living in Nagaland, creating deep fault lines among various communities co existing peacefully for decades.

Condemning the filing of PIL, Western Chakhesang Hoho (WCH) has warned that it could invite another public uprising and create social disharmony, for which he would be held solely responsible.

In a statement, WCH president Dietho Rhakho also appreciated the State government’s decision to bring Dimapur under the ambit of ILP, while appealing to the government to stand upright in defending the “historical rights and aspirations” of Nagas.

Alleging that the PIL was “concocted” with misleading information and wilful misinterpretation of the hospitality shown by Nagas, he claimed that the non-Nagas in Dimapur enjoyed utmost freedom and security, pointing out that almost all business establishments were run by the non(Cont’d on p-7) Nagas and were doing very

well. “No wonder, people from outside are flooding into Nagaland seeing the good grazing ground, opportunities and friendly atmosphere,” he added.

Rhakho explained that the issue of extending ILP to Dimapur had come up as a precautionary measure in the backdrop of the alarming rate at which illegal immigrants were entering Nagaland through Dimapur.

He clarified that ILP had nothing to do with interfering with the business activities or security of non-Nagas as projected in the PIL and reported in the media.

According to him, the purpose of Eastern Bengal Frontal Regulation Act or ILP was to safeguard the rich culture and traditions of Nagas and check illegal entry of “excessive” illegal immigrants into the State.

ABAM donates Rs. 36.56 lakh for Foothill Road DIMAPUR, JUN 27 (NPN): Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang (ABAM) Impur has contributed an amount of Rs.36,56,282 toward the foothill road project.

In a letter addressed to the state chief minister, ABAM executive secretary, Mar Atsongchanger, noted that foothill road construction from Kilma in Peren to Tizit in Mon was “indeed an important life-line for Nagas and all neighboring states for all purposes.”Assuring its support for the on-going road construction, ABAM requested the chief minister to personally supervise the project in order to ensure that the work completes within the stipulated time.

JD(U) seeks proof of merger from NDPP

DIMAPUR, JUN 27 (NPN): Reacting to Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP)’s claim of official merger of the JD (U) Nagaland unit with NDPP, the Janata Dal (United) said the claim has greatly tarnished the good image of the JD (U) widely and publicly. In a letter addressed to NDPP president, JD(U) coordinator (publicity & program) Mohammad Nisar has requested NDPP to furnish the relevant documentary evidences to support the claim of the “Official merger” within seven days.

Failure to furnish within stipulated period, the JD(U) cautioned that the party would be compelled to pursue other lawful course of action against NDPP.

CNTC’s concern on DCCI-student loggerhead Major bureaucratic reshuffle DIMAPUR, JUL 27 (NPN): Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) has expressed happiness that Dimapur Chamber of Commerce & Industry (DCCI) realised the ambiguities over its recent resolutions and clarified them, and over which it claimed to have had shared concern earlier.

In a press note, CNTC president N Matong Jamir and general secretary Er KL Moyo stressed that an organisation like DCCI, which was formed for the welfare and security of business community, should always remember that while carrying out business, it should never forget to serve in the interest of consumers as without them it would not be possible for the businessmen to flourish or survive.

Public health and safety should be their topmost priority and could be compromised under any circumstances, they added.

CNTC urged DCCI to maintain a strict vigil on the activities of its members so that innocent consumers were not taken advantage as some businessmen might try to

make some quick profit. Calling for upholding consumer rights in true letter and spirit as pledged by DCCI, CNTC warned that they would not hesitate to play their part as a responsible civil society, in case of any malpractice and misconduct from unscrupulous traders.

Expressing concern at the same time over some student bodies, CNTC suggested that they should not cross their boundaries while raising issues of common concern. As the student bodies were formed to work for the welfare and interests of student community, the duo said it was important for them to keep mind that they were formed with the consent and blessings of respective tribal hohos.

Though working for common public welfare is appreciable, CNTC said “working overtime and overindulging on every social problem”, which had respective authorities and agencies under the government, should not be the case.

CNTC said they would further discourage the student community from running around seeking mon-

ey without working with their sweat and labour as that had resulted in near total absence of work culture among the youth today.

Stating that the present grim unemployment scenario in Nagaland should serve as an eyeopener, the CNTC leaders advised that, instead of focusing on “freewill donations” or “goodwill contributions” in whatever style or form, the students should first work hard to build their own future.

“The students are rather advised to be more focused in their studies and concentrate on their careers, instead of being over active on every social issue that consumes much of their valuable time and will cost their future too,” they cautioned. Pointing out that excessive student activism had not bode well in any part of the world, CNTC warned that in case of overstepping their limits,– as an apex body of three tribes– it would have no other option but direct their constituent tribal hohos to take necessary action on those erring student representatives or recall them.

DIMAPUR, JUN 27 (NPN): In a major bureaucratic reshuffle, the state government Thursday ordered the transfer and posting of over 50 IAS, NCS and NSS officers.

Four IAS officers have also been designated as principal secretaries-- R. Ramakrishnan (NL 1998), Motsuthung Patton (NL 1998), Abhijit Sinha (NL 2000), N. Hushili Sema (NL 2001) and Bendangkokba (NL 2001).

N. Bongkhao Konyak, Er. Lanuwabang, state government officials and students at NIELIT Kohima, Thursday. (NP)

Correspondent KOHIMA, JUN 27 (NPN): Advisor, Department of Under Developed Areas (DUDA) N. Bongkhao Konyak on Thursday said that as per 2011 census, 52.7% of the workforce in Nagaland was engaged in Agricultural sector and 47.3% in secondary and tertiary sectors while in Eastern areas 81.1% of the workforce was engaged in Agricultural sector and only 18.9% in secondary and tertiary sectors.

He therefore said that it was important to restructure the livelihood activities with various skills

based trainings and ensure that the unemployed youths were engaged in gainful employment so that such glaring gaps could be solved.

Bongkhao made this statement while addressing the valedictory function of capacity building programme held at NIELIT, Meriema on Thursday.

To this end, he said that the department has initiated a programme on culinary skills with Kohima Exotic School of Cooking (KESC) as the training provider where 24 girls were trained.

He thanked the dean of KESC, Kevitsu Doze for

providing quality training with appropriate skills and exuded confidence that the initiative will provide livelihood to the unemployed girls.

Bongkhao also acknowledged the unemployed youths from the backward districts of Eastern Nagaland for getting trained under NIELIT and KESC. He also said that in line with the Government of India policy on IT under the Digital India and manpower development plan scheme, DUDA in collaboration with NIELIT, Kohima is empowering the youths and women of

Eastern Nagaland through ICT skill training.

Under this, he said that the department in partnership with NIELIT has set up four computer centres in Tuensang, Mon, Longleng and Kiphire districts Headquarters with the latest equipment and teaching facilities.

The aim of the centres was to train 1280 youths of Eastern Nagaland, but more than 1407 youths have been trained, which showed the learning capability and enthusiasm of the unemployed youths, he added.

He further said that realizing the need to train more youths in different IT related activities, DUDA and NIELIT have trained 30 unemployed youths to become skilled and productive in computer and electronics.

Further, the advisor also appealed to the students to utilise the seed money and tools judiciously and asked them to open small units in their respective areas. He cautioned them that the department will monitor their activities closely to ensure that the training programme becomes a contributor to elevate state economy.

Director NIELIT,

Er. L. Lanuwapang highlighted the activities of the institution and said since its inception more than 26,000 students have been trained out of the 35 courses offered by the institute.

He appealed to the state government to give more emphasis on skill development programmes keeping in mind the urgency for skilled labours.

Dean, Kohima exotic school of cooking, Kevitsu Doze in his brief address said the school started in 2012 to tap entrepreneurship since the chance of employability in the government sector has become low.

He was hopeful that the state government will take up more such programmes for the students in future.

The programme was chaired by joint director DUDA, Anungla Imdong Phom.

Altogether 30 students completed courses in repair and maintenance of power supply, inverter and UPS and 24 students trained in culinary skill training.

Director DUDA, Anden Konyak, NIELIT officials, students and others attended the programme.

Correspondent IMPHAL, Jun 27: Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh on Thursday announced a reward of Rs five lakh to the top performing Panchayat in harvesting of rain water in Manipur.

Singh said, “We all should work collectively at grassroots to conserve and preserve rain water and ground water in the state.”

The chief minister was speaking at a meeting with elected members of the

Panchayati Raj Institutions at chief minister’s secretariat on Thursday.

He announced that the top performing Panchayat on harvesting of rain water would be rewarded a cash prize of Rs five lakhs. The concerned officials, Pradhans and Zilla Parishad members will be honoured in a state level function, he added.

Rain water harvesting mission is the brainchild of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the chief minister said , adding that

people must find ways to harvest the rain water for farming purposes during lean season.

He stated that the present government has initiated rain water harvesting schemes in hill areas such as Tamei, Chandel, Senapati, Ukhrul, Churachandpur etc.

Such schemes have been constructed with an approximate cost of Rs two crore each by state minor irrigation department, he informed.

The chief minister asserted that the Building ByLaws has been amended so that the newly constructed buildings should install a rain water harvesting system.

He appealed to the elected representatives of the Panchayati Raj Institutions to keep an eye on illegal sale and purchase of land property in their respective areas, adding that a state level committee would be formed to check illegal sale and purchase of land in the state.

Guwahati, Jun 27 (IANS): A minor girl in Assam’s Dar rang dis trict committed suicide on Wednesday, with her relatives and members of a students’ organization linking the incident to the National Register of Citizens (NRC), which is being updated across the state.

Relatives of Nuri Begum (name changed), 14 said that she hanged herself with the dupatta she was wearing.

“Her name was not included in the draft NRC published by Assam government last year. However, she was sure that her name will appear in the final NRC. Today, when the Assam government published an additional draft list of exclusion, Noor and her family took it to be the final NRC. Noor took the extreme step after her father went to the NRC seva Kendra at Roumari and failed to find her name in the list and told her this over the phone,” one of the relatives said.

The family said it was not aware that the list published on Wednesday was

not the final NRC but a additional draft exclusion list and that non-inclusion of her name in the list enhances her chance of inclusion of her name in the final NRC to be published on July 31.

All Assam Minority Students’ Union (AAMSU) leader Abdul Hai visited the deceased’s house and blamed the state government for the death.

Darrang Superintendent of Police, Amrit Bhuyan, however, refuted the claims that the suicide was linked to the NRC and said that police investigation is on to ascertain the cause of the death.

“So far I have not received any report that the girl committed suicide due to NRC. However, our investigation is on,” he said.

The Assam government on Wednesday published an additional Draft Exclusion List, consisting names of 102,462 persons, whose names were included in the Draft NRC published on July 30 last year but subsequently been found ineligible due to the different reasons.

Court grants bail to MLA Congress slams BJP for denying Tarun Gogoi to address media in Assam House Yamthong in missing arms case

Ex-Assam CM Tarun Gogoi addressing the media along the street in front of Assam House in Delhi.

BOKAKHAT, JUN 27 (AGENCIES): The Opposition Congress in Assam has condemned the BJP-led government in the state for not allowing former chief minister Tarun Gogoi to address a press conference at the Assam House in New Delhi, reports Northeast Now news.

Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) spokesperson Rituparna Konwar said this on Thursday while adding that the Assam House authorities denied permission to the former three-time Assam CM to address the media inside the room he was staying in the Assam House.

Gogoi has been staying in Assam House for the last three days. After being denied permission to hold a press conference, Gogoi later addressed the media along the street in front of the Assam House.

“We condemn this dictatorial act of the chief minister Sarbananda Sonowalled BJP government in Assam. Why the Sonowal government has so much fear for Tarun Gogoi?” Konwar said adding

that the BJP-led government in Assam is scared that Gogoi can expose the lies of the government.

“However, if the government thinks that they can silence Tarun Gogoi as well as the Congress party by resorting to such undemocratic means, they are only living in fool’s paradise,” Konwar said.

“When the former chief minister asked Kailash Chand Samria, principal resident commissioner of Assam House about the reasons for not granting permission, he said that there is a government order not to allow holding press conferences in Assam House. Samaria, however, failed to produce any such order when asked by the former chief minister,” said Konwar. The former chief minister intended to address the media on some of the burning issues concerning the state including the issues related to the updating of National Register of Citizens (NRC) and the claim of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his speech in Rajya Sabha on Wednesday where he targeted the Congress over the NRC.

The Union Home minister also handed over an appointment letter to his wife for a job in the state government, an official spokesperson said.

On his official Twitter handle, Shah said Khan’s “sacrifice for the security of our nation has saved many lives. The entire nation is proud of Arshad Khan’s valour and courage”.

Khan, 37, was injured in the terror attack on June 12 and later flown to Delhi in an air ambulance for a specialised treatment.

However, he succumbed to injuries at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on June 16.

Take strict action against terror funding in J-K

Union Home Minister Amit Shah Thursday impressed upon security forces in Jammu and Kashmir to show zero-tolerance towards terrorism and take strict action against terror funding in the state.

Shah, who is on a two-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir, gave these directions during a security review meeting with top officials from the state government and the Centre.

Governor Satya Pal Malik was also present in the meeting.

The home minister called for tightening the noose around terrorist activities in the state, State Chief Secretary B V R Subrahmanyam said while briefing reporters about the two-day visit of Shah.

“There should be zerotolerance towards terrorism and terrorists. There should be continued strict action against terror funding. The

Rule of Law should be enforced,” Subrahmanyam said, quoting the home minister.

He praised effor ts of the Jammu and Kashmir Police in countering terrorism and militancy, and directed that the state government should commemorate the martyrdom of its policemen in their hometowns and villages in an appropriate manner each year.

“Prominent public places should also be named after martyred policemen,” Shah said in the meeting.

The home minister also reviewed the preparations for Amarnath Yatra, which will start from July 1.

“The review focused on the preparations made so far by security forces in this regard, the improvements made in the arrangements as compared to the previous years and any further requirements of security forces. The review also ex-

Mementos received by Modi put on display at Bihar town

Visitors catch a glimpse of historical spots in Motihari, Bihar M OT I H A R I , J U N 2 7 (PTI): Travellers visiting this north Bihar town to catch glimpses of historical spots, such as writer George Orwells place of birth or places associated with Mahatma Gandhis first civil disobedience movement on the Indian soil, may now have an added attraction.

A B.Ed. college situated in the town serving as the district headquarter for East Champaran district has showcased, inside its premises, nearly a score of mementos received by Prime Minister Narendra Modi which went under the

“It is a matter of pride for us that we happen to be the only ones in Bihar to have won some of the over 1,000 mementos in the auction.

“The funds thus generated were meant to be diverted for the Namami Gange project which would, again, be of benefit of our state since the holy river flows here,” says Yamuna Sekaria who heads the ‘Radha Krishna Seva Sansthan’, the name by which the college is better known.

The son of Shambhu Nath Sekaria, a well-known social and environmental activist from Motihari, Yamuna Sekaria calls himself an ardent admirer of Modi, greatly impressed by his tireless energy and his passion to serve the nation.

Sekaria, however, declines to divulge the prices at which the items were sold at the auction, saying, all the participants had been requested to keep it a secret, since “it was not a sell off meant for commercial purposes”.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah Thursday directed the Jammu and Kashmir administration to tackle corruption and plug leakages in implementation of development schemes to ensure that benefits of those reach the impoverished sections of the society.

Shah reviewed development programmes in the state in a meeting and said that he would assess the performance of the state on multiple fronts periodically.

“The Union home minister’s focus was primarily on ensuring that the benefits of growth and development reach the poorest of the poor,” state chief secretary B V R Subrahmanyam told reporters here at the end of Shah’s maiden two-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir after assuming charge.

Shah asked the state government to focus on better and more efficient implementation of development schemes so that corruption and leakages are plugged and the citizens to get the intended benefits, he said.

“The review covered a wide range of issues related to improving the economic condition of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, providing them with employment

and livelihood opportunities, providing them the benefit of social security schemes, and raising their incomes,” Subrahmanyam said.

The Union home minister issued a slew of directions to the state government with focus on socially and economically weaker sections of the society in the state.

“The state government should ensure that old age, disability and widow pensions reach all those entitled to these, in a timely manner. There should be a quick scrutiny of all eligible people who are left out and their inclusion must be ensured,” Shah told the meeting, adding the Centre will ensure additional funds for these.

He also directed the state government to tap in the potential of dairy and animal husbandry sector in by working towards signing MoUs with popular dairy brands and create a programme for ensuring that diary commodities become surplus.

The Union minister asked the state officials to explore the potential of the poultry sector as well and said the Central government would support efforts in this direction.

5 11 students die ‘Incidents of crime on communal after minibus falls in BJP-ruled states defaming’ into gorge in J-K

S R I NAG A R , J U N 2 7 (PTI): Eleven students, including nine girls, of a computer coaching institute died and seven others were injured Thursday when the minibus they were travelling in fell into a deep gorge in Jammu and Kashmir’s Shopian district, police said.

Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik expressed grief over the loss of lives in the accident and announced an ex-gratia of Rs 5 lakh each to the next of the kin of the deceased.

Mayawati (File) LU C K N OW, J U N 2 7 (AGENCIES): BSP president Mayawati Thursday said the incidents of crime on communal and caste lines in the BJP-ruled states are "defaming" the entire country and even embarrasses the prime minister.

Her reaction came after the alleged lynching of Tabrez Ansari in the BJP-governed Jharkhand and some other similar incidents elsewhere in the recent past.

Ansari was thrashed by a mob for alleged theft on June 18 and a video had emerged which purportedly showed that he was forced to chant "Jai Shri Ram" and "Jai Hanuman" in Jharkhand's Saraikela Kharsawan district.

"Why are the BJP governments allowing crimes of communal frenzy and casteism which are not only defaming those states, but also the entire country and even embarrasses the prime minister," Mayawati tweeted.

"As of now, police and government officials are also at the receiving end of this new problem," the BSP

president said.

In another tweet, she termed as "embarrassing" the Niti Aayog report on Health Index under which Uttar Pradesh has remained at the bottom.

"The Niti Aayog report that Uttar Pradesh is the most backward state in the country on the issue of people's health is the most embarrassing for the government," she said.

"What is the use of having a double engine government of the BJP both at the Centre and the state?

What is the use of this kind of development for crores of people whose lives are like hell," Mayawati posed.

According to the Niti Aayog's second round of Health Index, Kerala has occupied the top slot in terms of health performance among large states followed

by Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, whereas Uttar Pradesh and Bihar remained at the bottom.

In response, State Health Minister Siddharth Nath Singh blamed the previous governments for the poor Health Index.

Rise of hypernationalism

L

ike how pollsters more often got their speculations totally wrong, perhaps there is a need to understand why despite being slandered as a party led by “communal, extreme right and fascist”, the BJP has trounced its political foes in two successive elections. That means the majority bloc voted for Modi. It is without doubt that Modi is the most successful ever Indian politician who fully exploited the media with his successful messaging and packaging that resonated across the country. The BJP garnered 37.4% of the votes in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and with NDA , the total percentage was a huge 45% of the vote. However, despite its barely hidden agenda of hyper nationalism, rooted in far right extreme Hindu ideology, Modi’s BJP received the thumbs up even from non-Hindus, atheists including minorities. That means the balance that tipped the scale was Modi’s personal popularity.

He was seen as a tall figure and the best suited to ensure the nation’s internal and external security.

This resounding mandate may not necessarily mean that all those who voted for the BJP-led NDA believe or support the kind of hyper nationalism being forced into the national psyche. The main opposition Congress is on a downward spiral, set in motion by dynastic hierarchy that has been groping in the dark.

The overused cliché of secularism has been given a burial after the 2019 Lok Sabha election. In fact the Congress need to re-look at its own image from people’s perspective. The grand old party has been overusing secularism to create a youngest kid syndrome in society when it came to minorities. Today even practitioners of casteist politics are losing relevance. Minorities look for relevant politics and leadership capability. They are no longer wooed away by the word ‘secularism’ which can mean many things to many people. The establishment of a modern and secular society is not only the responsibility of the majority, but a responsibility of every member, including the minorities. Unfortunately, in this regard every section, including the minorities have not done their bit. The slogan of secularism/ minorities, has made the majority feel they are being held accountable for the minority syndrome. Hindu nationalism and hypernationalism is a counter and seems attractive to persons wishing to project a militant India on the world stage. However, hypernationalism is not the way to defeat Islamic fundamentalism. Also hypernationalism as opposed to liberalism will open the doors wide for authoritarianism. Authoritarians have long spouted hyper-nationalistic slogans to coerce people into submission. Even in other nations, far-right political parties and movements have sprouted across the entire democratic world. What Modi is to the far right in India; Donald Trump is to the far right in the USA. Both derive their strength from hypernationalism directed against “enemies” – aliens/ migrants and minorities on the opposite side of the ideological spectrum. Today, 75 years after the Indian freedom movement, the leaders would surely turn in their graves to see their India has veered away and being pushed under growing hypernationalism and intolerance. The leaders of the independence movement were ideologically opposed to each other; yet they stood as one for a multi-cultural and united India.

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).

Musings of a head-quarter MLA

he spurt of Road development in Kohima and the ultimate finish with well designed zebras, dividers and borders is a pleasant sight and quite a notable change.

According to my observation, the quality of work and workmanship are also commendable.

Good workmanship gives an overall good aesthetic sense to the job. The PDA Government, the concerned Minister and the Department and not forgetting the contractors are sincerely appreciated. Though the recent premonsoon rains have shown that more effort is required to provide better drainage. Durability of roads is proportionately related to good drainage system.

Kohima City is slowly turning into a city that it ought to be. During the last 15 years or so, the landscape particularly the buildings have seen a wave change. One feels happy to note that, it is a reflection of growing economy of the people. It is also encouraging that, now local people run most of the commercial establishments in Kohima. Given that there is already saturation of jobs in the Government sector, business offers good avenue for the youths. There is room for both the uneducated and the educated as well, each according to his will, commitment and of course, capability. Let us remember that business is not just groceries and car-decoras.

Having thus said about Kohima, more civic efforts need to be done both by the Government of the day and the public at large. Given opportunity, among the NE State Capitals, I would

give my prize to Shillong City for cleanliness. I will come back to my Shillong story later. Now, Talking about Kohima again, I remember a conversation with a friend who said, “Kohima to soob Naga lakka aseto, Angamimanu khan lakka hi nahoe.

Naga manu khan lakka Capital aseto”! Rightly said in a sense but, let us all appreciate the large heartedness of the Angamis in accommodating Nagas of all tribes. True to what Methanielie sang in his song “Kohima City Koribole”, all of us, of whatever hue and color we might be made up of – phutani, chalak, chakara or style wallas, staying temporarily or permanently in Kohima are responsible to make the capital of ours the best among the NE cities. Areas where we can easily start is to have respect for public and private properties and cleanliness. Cleanliness is the most important attributes of civilized living! Our increasing dependence on manufacturing sector has created a mess of our surroundings. Packagings are made to be attractive to lure customers but, once we shell out what we need the rest becomes a history of our mess. We don’t have any compunction or sense in throwing our plastics, wrappings, pet-bottles waste and many more such items anywhere and everywhere. Our streets, our drains, our nullahs and rivulets will all tell this story. They are littered with you know what even old shoes, umbrellas and now electronic wastes. It is a real sore in the eyes! It is not just about Kohima but, it is the same all over Nagaland!

By the way, the more I

talk about Kohima, the more the tribal blood oozes. Being a Lotha my mind naturally wanders off to Wokha Town, of how things are out there. I am not being tribalistic here, but, I want to corridor to be also as good as Kohima. Even recently, an amount of Rs. 25 Lakhs earmarked under SDRF for Wokha Town was diverted to another place. May be because Wokha Town is manned by an opposition MLA! Poor infrastructure particularly the roads, low cost buildings, an evidence of poor economy, dominates the scenery (Land of Plenty Huh!). This is the reflection of the picture of Wokha Town is. I call it rustic township, Alas! Hopefully Smart Town that is the talk of the town will bring the desired change.

Anyway, enough of lamenting and let me come back to my Shillong story. Friends from Shillong visiting Doyang lake were dumbfounded by the amount of waste littered around.

They said, ‘You have such a wonderful area and why do your people litter it with waste”.

Thinking of clean Barapani, I guess, they have justification and sense in saying so! Anyway, during one of my visits to Shillong, over dinner, I asked one of these friends as to how they manage to keep Shillong so clean. She narrated a long story which I present below. I call it Shillong Model (for cleanliness).

Shillong the capital of Meghalaya is probably the cleanest city among the cities of sister states of NE and may be in India too. Littering is literally a taboo in Shillong. Readers are aware that Mawlynong Village

in Meghalaya is noted for being the cleanest Village in Asia.

In Shillong, locality Headmen maintains a registry of all residents. Every locality is divided into blocks and two residents are given charge of these blocks.

Block wise registry is maintained by them. For pick-up and disposal of waste, the Municipal provides pick-up vans to the localities. Every Household pays Rs. 100/- per month formaintenance of the van and salary of the driver etc. If residents fail to pay garbage fee on time, their names are announced in the locality’s public address system.

If they still do not pay up, police is informed who will take action according to Law. The treasurer of the locality is responsible for collection of fees. He sits in the Community Hall or a designated place from 8 – 10 am from 1st to 10th of every month for collection of fees. He is paid Rs. 3500/ month for the purpose.

All residents are given two garbage buckets, one blue and one green. Normally they do not construct garbage collection bins as the attract animals invariably dogs who ravages the garbage causing odorous littering. They also attract flies and provide the a good breeding ground causing additional health hazards. Resident who do not collect buckets on time are made to purchase on their own.

It is compulsory to have these buckets by everyone. Tenants shifting house or leaving the locality will have to leave the garbage buckets for future occupants. Biodegradable wastes are put in the green bucket and non-biodegradable waste is put

in the blue bucket. No mixing of these waste are allowed. If it is found that a bucket contains mixed waste, the resident is asked to take it back for sorting without which it will not be accepted for disposal. Women groups take the initiative and the pains to oversee all these collections. The pick-up van collects Green and Blue garbage buckets on alternate days. The driver keeps a check on defaulters and if found, Women Organizations are informed who does the needful. Invariably residents who fail to will be asked to dump their own garbage in the common dumping site kilometers away at their own cost. Residents are also asked to clean area outside of their compounds and also to keep dustbins for passerby to throw garbage like plastics, wrappings etc. No domestic wastes are allowed to be thrown into these bins. People found littering are made to pick up their own mess. Vigilant women groups take responsibilities for these.

Any defaulters in these arrangements are made to pay fines fixed for the purpose. This is how they keep Shillong city Clean. Are we listening? Don’t just listen, do practice and please pass on the information. Let us educate the needy in words and action!

As an adieu, Let me leave my readers a food for thought.

Isn’t it funny that we call for mass social work often to clean up mess by our own self, instead of channeling the energy spent of beautification of out surroundings?

In comemoration of ‘1st Indo-Naga battle 1955’

T

(Released by- Eastern Sumi Student Union)

his battle resounds the memory of the Nagas in general towards its long cherished dreams for the cause of Sovereign Naga Nation.

The Free-Nagas or the term used by Non-Nagas or Indians were “AzadI’’ that commonly used till NEFA areas were brought under the Govt. administrative set up that was way back to 1970’s. Many Naga- Scholars have come up with the books on the insurgence of Indo-Naga political upheavals since the birth and formation of NNC 1946, but the very Pioneering episode of the ‘Battle’ that took place in Hoshepu Range with its Naga Safe Guard (the first arm-wing) Head Quarter at Khekiye Village under Aghunato Area that started war with the mighty Indian Army forces was not found recorded or mentioned.

Aghunato area presently under Zunheboto district was once upon a time a slashed portion of Free Naga under NEFA till it was brought under Naga Hills Tuensang Area (NHTA). Some eventful months and date of the year from 1950 to 23rd March’1956 are chronologically indicated for records towards the Indo-Naga Political struggle for Nagas Independence. In the year 1950, Shri. Brigadier Sailo Lushai Political Officer Tuensang under NEFA was given additional charge to supervise the un-controlled and un-administered Aghunato Area. In 1952 May, N.I Jamir was posted as Asst Education Officer cum-APO to supervise and oversee the administrative affairs of Aghunato Area.

In 1953, Shri. S.D Ladkar was posted as Asst Political Officer (APO) to take the full charge as administration of Aghunato Area that stretching from Nihoshe Village in the south to Khumishi village on the north without means of connectivity other than foot path. The incumbent officer had struggle with stiff opposition from the

public in one hand not to support for opening administration in this so-called Azadi-Naga, and the other hand was the revolutionary movement was at its peak by then. The so-called branded area was a separated block from the rest of Sema (STC) maintaining its identity as Eastern Sema Tribal Council (ESTC) with its elected President K. Hutovi Yepthomi of Yemishe Village who established its Head Quarter at Khekiye Village. In 1954 15thMarch, Yimchunger Tribe Council (YTC) was formed at Chipong Village, in which Lakimong of Shotokur was elected its President. In 10th April’ 1955, Naga Army Post was opened at Ngozubo Village after Khekiye Village. In 1954, 14-16thMay, Yemishe Village hosted NNC Summit under the aegis of ESTC was held.

NNC President ,A.Z Phizo could not turn up, however Vice President Imkongliba and General Secretary J.B Jasokie along with other dignitaries and all the Tribal Presidents and deligates were present. In which about 500 delegates from Free Nagas were present.

In 10thAugust’54, on a political mission journey towards the Eastern Nagas A.Z Phizo came to Ngozuto village escorded

by Ivulho of Lazami and Luzukhu of Baimho village the forerunners of Naga Independence. It was learnt that the political journey towards Free Nagas land took him months and returned by the last month of the year. In 18th Feb’55, the ESTC delegates went to Kigwema Village to meet A.Z Phizo with a mission to seek permission to start war with the occupational forces, accordingly it was approved as demanded by free Naga delegates.

On 5th April 1955, a great Summit was called by Free Naga at Khekiye Village, the first Armed Wing called “ Naga Safe Guard ” was formed which was formerly termed ‘Eastern War Group ’ under ESTC. In

this Summit of Free Nagas, Shri. Kaito of Ghukhuyi attended along with ten brave soldiers who arrived from Kohima on requestwho was unanimously appointed as General, Naga Safe Guard (NSG) followed by the appointment of down line rankings.

The meeting was mostly attended by Sumi of Free Nagas of ESTC delegates, others from Yimchunger and Sangtam Tribe in particular. On 18th May’1955, the NSG & ESTC delegates set out their second journey to meet NNC Officials by name viz; A.Z Phizo NNC President, Theheselie NNC Secretary & J.B Jasokie Gen. Secretary at Kohima to apprise them of the outcome of the meeting of Free Nagas at Village Khekiye. To which they heartily wished the people a victory and a blessed one. In this mission the NNC Officials also assured the people that once the war started the rest 15 tribes will also be joined and follow up towards the cause of the Naga nation.

Sh. J.B Jasokie donated Rifles-2 nos, Tommy Gun1 No and 1000 rounds of Tommy Gun and 250 rounds of Rifles to General Kaito Ghukhuyi. On 27.5.1955, the Free Naga delegates have returned at its HQ from their mission trip. It was informed that the NNC President had convened a general meeting with all the tribal Presidents and its delegates at Kohima on 2.6.1955 as assured and thereby resolved to start war with the occupational forces that started first from the soil of Free Nagas. In a quick response to the approval of war with the occupational forces, the first ever incident was taken place at Hukiur Village on 15.03.1955 at 3:30PM, under the command of Hopong Vice President Yimchunger, in which three volunteers by name; Hothrong, Samphu and Tomkam chop off the heads of three Assam Rifles and the fourth prey was excaped with deep

This is an episode of the Azadi-Naga, branded name given by Indian Army thus having its clean record from 1950 to the Autumn of Sept’1955 that had its great impact in the attack and capturing of 78 Assam Armed Police at Satakha Post along with the sorted ammunitions.

Sir,

Going the extra mile

World Environment Day (WED) came and went and with it the civic sense of the citizens of Dimapur city. As one travels around in the city, one is bound to come across a heap of rotting garbage in various places which are not even designated garbage dumps. For days on end the garbage is sitting there and when it rains, the wastes spills over all over the road making it even messier. How does one go about trying to keep the city clean? Does it have to happen only twice or thrice a year when for some occasion, the city wears a clean look?

Do we have to wait for only for WED or mass social work called by DMC or any other authority? Can the citizens not treat the peripheral area as their own compound and try to keep it clean even if it means going the extra mile. The rag pickers are not help either as they pick or pock at the garbage bags to retrieve what they can and leave the spills behind.

Cong leader shot dead outside gym in Faridabad

FA R I DA B A D / N E W DELHI, JUN 27 (PTI): Haryana Congress leader Vikas Chaudhary was shot dead in broad daylight by unknown assailants here on Thursday, police said.

Congress president Rahul Gandhi condemned the killing and said it reflects the deteriorating lawand-order situation in the state.

Chaudhary, a spokesperson of the state Congress, was parking his car outside a gym in sector nine here when the assailants fired 12-15 bullets at the vehicle from two sides, killing him on the spot, ACP Jaiveer Singh Rathi said.

Upon hearing the noise, people rushed to the site and Chaudhary was rushed to Sarvodaya hospital where he was declared brought dead, he said.

Rathi said the whole incident was caught on CCTV camera and 12 spent cartridges were recovered from the crime scene.

He further said the attack appears to be preplanned and the assailants, who came in a vehicle,

Vikas Chaudhary (File)

knew that Chaudhar y would come to the gym.

The Congress leader was alone at the time of the incident and the bullets hit him in the neck and chest, Rathi said.

The body was handed over to Chaudhary’s family after post-mortem, he added.

A murder case has been registered and police are scanning the CCTV footage to identify the accused, the officer said, adding, several police teams have also been formed to search for them.

Rahul Gandhi Thursday condemned the killing of the party’s Haryana unit leader Vikas Chaudhary in Faridabad and said it reflects the deteriorating law-and-order situation in the state.

He prayed for peace of the departed soul.

“The killing of Congress spokesperson and leader Vikas Chaudhary in Faridabad is a condemnable, shameful and tragic incident. It reflects the deteriorating law-and-order situation in Haryana. May Chaudharuy’s soul rest in peace and may God proRahul, Surjewala, vide his family the strength Tanwar, Hooda condemn to bear this loss,” Gandhi Congress president said in a tweet in Hindi.

Congress leaders Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Randeep Singh Surjewala and Ashok Tanwar have strongly condemned the killing of party leader Vikas Chaudhary in Faridabad on Thursday and blamed the BJP government in Haryana for the “deteriorating law-and-order situation”.

Haryana Congress leader Vikas Chaudhary was shot dead in broad daylight by unknown assailants on Thursday, police said.

Congress president Rahul Gandhi condemned the killing and said it reflects the “deteriorating law-and-order situation” in the state. The killing also evoked sharp reaction from the party’s senior leaders in Haryana, who claimed that ‘jungle raj’ prevailed in the state.

“Law and order in Haryana has crumbled.

Criminals are roaming freely and the common man is not feeling safe,” Hooda said.

Surjewala, an MLA from Kaithal, alleged that “under BJP’s rule, the

state has become a hub of ‘goonda raj’ and organised crime”.

“Law-and-order situation is in shambles. Criminals are calling the shots.

For this situation, Khattar government is to be blamed,” he tweeted and demanded an independent inquiry into the killing.

In another tweet in Hindi, Surjewala wrote, “In Haryana, every day, three murders, five rapes and 10 kidnappings take place.”

State Congress chief Ashok Tanwar condemned the killing and alleged that ‘jungle raj’ prevails in Haryana.

Chaudhary, a spokesperson of the state Congress, was parking his car outside a gym in sector nine in Faridabad when the assailants fired 1215 bullets at the vehicle from two sides, killing him on the spot, ACP Jaiveer Singh Rathi said.

Upon hearing the noise, people rushed to the site and Chaudhary was taken to Sarvodaya hospital where he was declared brought dead, he said.

‘I shot him twice’: Chilling confessions WCH warns public uprising... State Cong questions BJP unit over PIL in Narendra Dabholkar’s murder case

Mentioning that the desire of Nagas to extend ILP to Dimapur was not new, the WCH president claimed that many nonNaga communities were in fact quite comfortable with it until the PIL was filed, which had only created misconception.

Further, dismissing the claim of Upadhyay that Dimapur was not a part of Naga Hills as totally absurd, Rhakho recalled that in 1949 when Gopinath Bordoloi was the Premier of Assam, the British government had passed an order for inclusion of Dimapur under Sivasagar district of Assam.

As a consequence, he said there was an uprising by thousands of Nagas under the aegis of Kohima Sardar Students’ Union led by its president late Goyiepra Kenye, general secretary late JB Jasokie and joint secretary Dr Beilieu Shuya in 1949.

It said the issue had added more fuel to CAB threat, even to the extent of having serious ramifications on the Indo-Naga peace process.

Anticipating the complication in application of ILP, NPCC claimed that it had drawn the attention of people on various public platforms during the recently-concluded Lok Sabha electioneering, but alleged that the attention of the State governments was never there.

Asking the People’s Democratic Alliance government to always remember that constitutional safe-

its party leaders in the Supreme Court.

Simply BJP denying its connection with Upadhyay would not wish away the troubles ahead for the people, if these PILs allow the judiciary a chance to negate “our rights and safeguards” bestowed by Indian constitution, the party stressed.

And in the event of any unforeseen situation that went against the interest of indigenous people in Nagaland, Congress warned that the State BJP and NDPP would be held fully responsible for their complicity and subservience to BJP high command in Delhi.

leading to the murder in his confession, Sharad Kalaskar said he was contacted by some right-wing members, given a crash course in ideology, use of firearms and the process of making bombs.

He was told that he would have to commit the murder. “We have to finish off some evil men,” he claimed to have been told by Virandra Tawde -- allegedly the main conspirator -- and brainwashed into committing the murders. Virendrasinh Tawde has been arrested by the CBI and has been charged as well.

Sharad Kalaskar said Tawde told him to shoot Narendra Dabholkar in the head, so he died on the spot.

He said he had carried out the instruction, intercepting Dr Dhabolkar as he was out on a morning walk on the Omkareshwar Bridge in Pune.

guards and other provisions enjoyed by Nagaland were the results of heavy political price paid by the people, Congress asserted that it would not tolerate any demeaning of Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation (BEFR) Act of 1873 or putting Article 371 (A) under judicial review as these were the products of political agreements.

Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee demanded that if BJP Nagaland was really concerned about the interest of Nagas and all other bona fide settlers of Nagaland, then it must ensure withdrawal of Public Interest Litigation filed by one of

of Dabholkar -- the first of the three rationalists killed while he was out on a morning walk. Dabholkar’s murder in Pune, in August 2013, had been followed by the shooting of Govind Pansare in February 2015 and MM Kalburgi in Kolhapur in August the same year. Gauri Lankesh was shot dead outside her home in Bengaluru in September 2017.

The Maharashtra AntiTerror squad had arrested Sharad Kalaskar in connection with raids at a pistol manufacturing unit at Nallasopara in Palghar district.

During questioning, they stumbled upon information that established a link between the murders of the rationalists and Gauri Lankesh and right-wing groups. This information was later shared with the Karnataka police.

NEW DELHI, JUN 27 (AGENCIES): The man accused of killing rationalist Narendra Dabholkar six years ago, has told the Karnataka police how he shot the 67-year-old twice -- once in the head from behind, and when he fell, once above the right eye. In a chilling 14-page confession, a copy of which was accessed by NDTV, Sharad Kalaskar also admitted to being linked to two other murders -- that of rationalist Govind Pansare and journalist Gauri Lankesh.

Sharad Kalaskar, who was arrested last October in connection with another case, has been in jail, charged with conspiracy and murder of Gauri Lankesh. It was during questioning in this case that he mentioned details of Dabholkar’s murder.

Several others have been accused in the murder

Despite government threats and arrest warrants, the Nagas joined the mass protests and raised slogans like “Dimapur, Nagapur”.

The agitation continued until the order was revoked and Dimapur retained under Naga Hills district. Therefore, Dimapur was and would always remain an integral part of Nagaland, he declared.

Rhakho asked that when the people of Nagaland desired the extension of ILP to Dimapur, what was wrong with that. He also questioned how could someone with no background in Nagaland ever think of opposing the people’s desire, and wondered whether there was a conspiracy.

The high rates on savings are undermining attempts by the Reserve Bank of India to provide stimulus to the economy, which is weakening on a broad number of fronts, through a series of cuts in its benchmark repo rate.

The central bank has in aggregate chopped 75 basis points off the rate since February but only about 10-15 basis points has come off bank lending rates in that time.

In the memorandum, a finance ministry official tells a counterpart at the labour ministry that the proposed rate of return “is not in line” with the fund’s rules.

But with inf lation around 3 per cent, the yield is appealing to those who want to save and is forcing banks to keep their savings deposit rates at similar levels, the officials said. There are also fears that banks will lose deposits to the fund, they added.

That is very bad news for borrowers, such as small businesses, who are having to pay double-digit loan rates in an economy that is slowing and where their power to raise prices is constrained.

NEW DELHI, Jun 27 (Agencies): Finance Ministry has demanded the social security and pension fund cuts the 8.65 per cent annual return it was planning to offer about 85 million member workers, according to a ministry memorandum reviewed by Reuters.

The reason is that the yield may not be justified given the fund’s performance but two officials with knowledge of the discussions said the bigger factor is concern the high return would hurt the economy by reducing banks’ ability to lend at attractive rates.

At the interbank foreign exchange (forex) market, the domestic currency opened at 69.29 a dollar and touched a low of 69.32 and a high of 69.07 during the day.

The funds held by Indians through fiduciaries alone used to be in billions till 2007 but began falling after that amid fears of regulatory crackdown.

The total funds held by Indians with Swiss banks stood at a record high of CHF 6.5 billion (Rs 23,000 crore) at 2006-end, but came down to nearly one-tenth of that level in about a decade.

Since those record levels, there has been a rise only three times -- in 2011 (12 per cent), 2013 (43 per cent) and then in 2017.

A new framework has been put in place for automatic exchange of information between Switzerland and India to help check the black money menace with effect from January 1, 2018.

Detailed financial information on all Indian residents that have an account maintained by a Swiss financial institution in 2018 will be provided for the first time to the Indian tax authorities in September 2019 and on a yearly basis thereafter.

The information would also include accounts that would be closed during 2018.

The official SNB figures also do not include the money that Indians, NRIs or others might have in Swiss banks in the names of entities from different countries. The SNB data had shown the total liabilities of Swiss banks towards Indian clients rising by over 50 per cent in 2017 to CHF 1.01 billion (Rs 7,000 crore), reversing a three-year downward trend.

However, the quantum of such funds has fallen again in 2018 to CHF 954.71 million, which includes about CHF 15 million held through fiduciaries or wealth managers. This is the second-lowest total since CHF 723 million recorded over two decades ago in 1995. The lowest ever amount of CHF 675 million, ever since Switzerland began making the data public in 1987, was recorded in 2016.

As per the latest figures, the total customer deposits of Indian clients rose to CHF 572 million in 2018, but funds held through banks fell to CHF 104 million, while money parked through securities and other instruments and via fiduciaries also declined. On the asset side, Swiss banks saw a marginal increase in the amount due from their Indian customers to CHF 212 million (from CHF 210 million in 2017).

In comparison, the BIS data showed that the total amount outstanding to non-bank or individual Indian clients of Swiss banks fell to USD 84.6 million at the end of 2018 (by 11 per cent from USD 94.8 million at the end of 2017). The fall was much larger at 44 per cent dur-

New Delhi, Jun 27 (PTI): Gold prices Thursday rose by Rs 180 to Rs 34,350 per 10 gram in the bullion market here on fresh buying from local jewellers despite the precious metal losing steam overseas, according to the All India Sarafa Association.

Globally, gold was trading lower at USD 1,403.72 an ounce, while silver was quoting lower at USD 15.20 an ounce in New York.

Growing tensions in the Middle East and dovish comments from major central banks had boosted the yellow metal’s safe haven appeal earlier, he added. In the national capital, silver gained Rs 50 to Rs 38,750 per kg on higher offtake by industrial units.

Hits second-lowest level in two decades

Zurich/New Delhi, Jun 27 (PTI): Money parked by Indian individuals and enterprises in Swiss banks, including through Indiabased branches, fell by nearly 6 per cent in 2018 to 955 million Swiss francs (about Rs 6,757 crore) to hit its second-lowest level in over two decades, Swiss National Bank data showed Thursday.

Aggregate funds of all foreign clients of Swiss banks also fell by over 4 per cent to CHF 1.4 trillion (nearly Rs 99 lakh crore) in 2018, as per the annual banking statistics released by the Zurich-based central banking authority of Switzerland. However, the ‘locational banking statistics’ of the Bank for International Settlement (BIS), which the Indian and Swiss governments had said last year was a more reliable measure for deposits

by Indian individuals in Swiss banks, showed a greater fall of 11 per cent for 2018.

According to the SNB, its data for ‘total liabilities’ of Swiss banks towards Indian clients takes into account all kinds of funds of Indian customers at Swiss banks, including deposits from individuals, banks and enterprises. This includes data for branches of Swiss banks in India, as also non-deposit liabilities.

The funds, described by the SNB as ‘liabilities’ of Swiss banks or ‘amounts due to’ their clients, are the official figures reported by the banks and do not indicate the quantum of the much-debated alleged black money held by Indians there.

‘Iranians would be selfish, stupid if no deal’ Washington, Jun 27 (IANS): US President Donald Trump has said that Iran’s leaders would be “selfish and stupid” if they failed to reach a new deal with Washington to replace the 2015 nuclear accord made by former President Barack Obama, which Trump abandoned.

“They have a country that’s in economic distress.

It’s an economic disaster right now, they can solve it quickly or in 10 years from now,” Trump said on Wednesday in remarks to reporters at the White House before departing for the G20 summit in Japan.

“I have all the time in the world. In the meantime, they have very strong sanctions,” he added The President said he was not sure if the Iranian leaders are concerned about their people, saying if they are they will sign an agreement directly negotiated with his administration, but if not they would be “selfish and stupid”, reports Efe news.

He suggested that

whether or not an agreement is reached between Tehran and Washington depends on Iran’s supreme l e a d e r, Aya t o l l a h A l i Khamenei, and his government.

Trump also said on Wednesday that he does not want war with Iran but he added that if fighting erupts between the two nations, it “wouldn’t last very long”, suggesting that the US would hit Iran with air strikes rather than with “boots on the ground”.

The confrontation with Iran has become more acute after Trump on Tuesday warned Tehran that the US will respond to any further attack on US interests with “overwhelming” force that, in certain cases, could result in “obliteration.”

The President’s remarks came shortly after his National Security Adviser, John Bolton, extended a hand to Iran to engage in dialogue.

Trump on Monday imposed sanctions on Khamenei, along with his office and eight commanders of

the Revolutionary Guard, thus blocking access to any assets or interests they may have under US jurisdiction.

After evaluating the latest moves from Washington, Khamenei called the US proposal for talks deceptive, saying that his country would not knuckle under to Trump’s threats.

Khamenei also said additional pressure would not negatively impact his country, stating that The tensions with Iran flared after the country’s forces shot down an American unarmed $100 million surveillance drone last week.

US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the US would impose “very substantial” tariffs on China if the two countries were unable to reach a trade deal during his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Osaka, Japan. “I would do additional tariffs ... very substantial additional tariffs if that doesn’t work, if we don’t make a deal,” the US President during an interview, the Efe news reported.

Trump said: “Companies are moving out of China, by the way, some are coming back to the United States because they don’t want to pay the tariff.”

Trump said the US was benefiting from the tariffs imposed on Chinese goods.

“When tariffs go on in China we are taking in billions and billions of dollars - we never took in 10 cents - now you have another $325 billion that I haven’t taxed yet - it’s ripe for taxing - for putting tariffs on,” Trump said.

The US President, how-

and intelligent agencies was strengthened and they were coordinating with foreign intelligence agencies as well.

“We meet regularly and have been able to create an integrated intelligence network with inputs from foreign intelligence agencies as well,” Senanayake was quoted as saying by

Xinhua news agency. “Security forces have been able to contain the situation and have reached a critical juncture where sweeping arrests have been made and links to the banned organizations have been weakened.

The security forces are now maintaining their state of alertness,” he added.

Trade war, international disputes set to test G20 unity

Kobe (Japan), Jun 27 (IANS): Eyeing the target of $5 trillion economy for India in next five years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said here on Thursday that social sector would be a priority for his government along with development of infrastructure and digital sectors.

He said Japan, which has been India’s partner in progress over the last seven decades, will have a major role to play in building of a “new India”.

“It is said that the ‘sky is the limit’. It was appropriate in a certain era. But now, the sky is not the limit,” Modi said while addressing the Indian diaspora on the first day of his Japan visit, mainly to attend the G20 Summit. He spoke about the massive mandate received by the BJP in the recent Lok Sabha elections and the plans of his government for the next five years.

“In the next five years, we have the target of making India a 5 trillion dollar economy,” the Prime Minis-

Modi with Japan PM Shinzo Abe.

ter said, adding the government has to work to meet the rising aspirations of the Indians. “Social sector is our priority. We also have to cater to infrastructure development,” he added.

About the digital sector, he said the literacy in this area is growing fast in India and transactions have jumped manifold.

He said India is also planning to explore the space and noted that the second mission to Moon, Chandrayan-II will be launched soon. By 2022, India will also launch its first manned

mission ‘Gaganyaan’, Modi said. “We are also exploring the possibility of having our own space station,” he said.

Talking about relations with Japan, he said the country has had a special role in India’s progress over the last seven decades and this role is going to be strengthened in the “new India”.

“There is no place in India where Japan has not left its imprint. “There was a time when we used to cooperate in making cars.

Now we are cooperating in making the bullet train,” the Prime Minister said.

India’s very high tariffs ‘unacceptable’: US

SL Army Chief rules out terror threat C o lo m b o, J u n 2 7 (IANS): Sri Lanka’s Army Chief Mahesh Senanayake said there was no immediate terrorism threat in the country following the Easter Sunday terror bombings which killed more than 250 people and injured over hundreds, but security forces would continue to remain vigilant, the media reported on Thursday.

Senanayake, testifying before the Special Parliamentary Committee probing the suicide attacks on April 21, said that Army forces, police and intelligence agencies were ensuring that all attempts to revive terrorism had been thwarted.

He added since the deadly attacks, coordination between the military, police

ever, said he was optimistic about reaching a trade deal with Beijing, adding that China needed an agreement more than the US. Trump said the Chinese government knows “what we have to have” to cut a trade deal.

“We don’t have intellectual property rights protections, we don’t have the opening of China,” Trump said. “You know, China’s not open. We’re open, but China’s not open. So, if we don’t have the openings of China, if we don’t have the things that we negotiated, and maybe even more than that.” Trump said that while he hoped to reach a deal with Xi, his “plan B” could include a 10 percent tariff on “$600 billion” worth of goods from China. “Now what’s going to happen ... all of those companies will move out of China - most of them - and they’ll move to other places like Vietnam and other places that take advantage of us, and we’ll start working on that too ...

I don’t want to do too many at one time,” Trump said, referring to trade deals.

Social sector to be our priority, says Modi in Japan

Washington/Osaka, Jun 27 (PTI): India’s “very high” tariffs on US goods are “unacceptable” and must be withdrawn, President Donald Trump demanded Thursday ahead of his crucial meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the G-20 Summit in Japan which is likely to be dominated by growing global trade frictions.

P r e s i d e n t Tr u m p, championing his ‘America First’ policy has been a vocal critic of India for levying “tremendously high” duties on US products, has described the country as a “tariff king”.

“I look forward to speaking with Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi about

the fact that India, for years having put very high Tariffs against the United States, just recently increased the Tariffs even further. This is unacceptable and the Tariffs must be withdrawn!”

Trump said in a tweet early this morning on his way to Osaka, where the G20 Summit will open on Friday.

Trump will hold a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Modi on Friday on the sidelines of the G-20 Summit. This would be his first meeting with Modi after the BJP’s landslide win in the general elections.

Trump’s tweet came a day after the India visit of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, during which he met Modi, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and

National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and discussed a number of issues, including the trade friction.

The Trump-Modi meeting assumes significance in the wake of the strain that has popped up in the bilateral relationship on a host of trade and economic issues.

On Wednesday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was in New Delhi

and called on Prime Minister Modi and held talks with Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar.

“On some outstanding issues related to trade, I pushed for a constructive and pragmatic view. The real test of our intentions will be our ability to deal with this,” said Jaishankar.

Asserting that “great friends are bound to have disagree-

ments”, Pompeo said the US has been clear in seeking greater market access and the removal of trade barriers in its economic relationship with India. “We’ll keep working to resolve any economic disputes - not only those that we have at this moment, but those that with any significant trading relationship inevitably arise,” Pompeo said.

He added that the group would not emphasize its differences and instead he wants to find a common ground.

The accumulation of marine plastics seems to be the only topic on which the 20 countries have been able to reach an agreement with a specific text during a summit where bilateral meetings such as that between US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping are expected to be more fruitful.

Abe said the two world powers could engage in “constructive dialogue” and highlighted how important it was for the world to maintain peace and stability in the Middle East.

Although the heightened tensions between Iran and the US have not been included on the official agenda, the topic is expected to be part of the discussions between the leaders of developed and developing countries, who include figures who have influence in the Persian Gulf region, such as Saudi Arabia and Russia.

Osaka (Japan), Jun 27 (IANS): The leaders of G20 countries are set to set to meet on Friday and Saturday in the Japanese city of Osaka to face the challenge of sending a common message on environmental protection and free trade, a task made difficult by the growing rifts and friction between members.

The annual summit arrives at a moment of crisis for multilateralism, marked by the trade war between China and the US, escalating tensions in the Persian Gulf and is aimed at reaching a consensus, said Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, currently holding the rotating chairmanship of the group.

Abe said in the Wednesday press conference that the world was going through change due to globalization, with an increasing number of conflicts emerging, but the G20 wanted to send a strong message about the need to be united in tackling the situation, Efe news reported.

20,000 fans sing Happy Birthday to Ariana Grande at her Toronto birthday concert

A

riana Grande celebrated her 26th birthday last night (June 26) as 20,000 fans sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to her during her concert in Toronto.

During the concert at Scotiabank Arena, Grande’s family presented her with a birthday cake and led the crowd into singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to the singer. Grande said “I love you all so much” afterwards.

The cake featured seven layers, in honour

of Grande’s song ‘Seven Rings’ – which she sang after being presented with the birthday tribute.

The venue also joined in the celebrations, posting a picture of how they decorated the backstage area with balloons, cake and a birthday banner. It said the theme of the birthday was “The birthday party of literally any child”.

Fan gives birth at Pink’s concert, names the baby after the pop star

A

fan who went into labour at Pink’s concert in Liverpool on Tuesday (June 25) successfully gave birth at the venue – and named the newborn after the pop star herself.

As Pink kickstarted the night at Anfield with ‘Get The Party Started’, Denise Jones went into labour, reported the Liverpool Echo.

Two medics, who were on duty as crowd doctors on the night, rushed to her side and took her to the stadium’s first aid room, where they delivered the baby.

“There was no equipment in the first aid room, just a couple of beds,” said Dr John Matthews, one of the medics. “This doesn’t happen very often and I’d never delivered a baby in Anfield before. When things K Y M C

go well, it’s always a good feeling.”

Though Jones initially planned to name her child Dolly Louise, she changed her mind and chose Dolly Pink instead. “I’m still massively in shock, just a bit gutted I missed the concert,” she joked to the Echo.

Pink herself has acknowledged the eventful concert, posting screengrabs of the news to Instagram.

“Dolly Pink wanted to get the party started,” she quipped in the caption.

The pop star is currently on the Europe leg on the ‘Beautiful Trauma’ tour.

She will perform at Rock Werchter in Belgium tonight before playing two nights at Wembley Stadium on June 30 and July 1.

T

hings got tense on the “America’s Got Talent” stage when Simon Cowell told a contestant that he was getting on his nerves after stopping his performance midway through.

A singer from Huntsville, Ala., named Lamont Landers took the stage to audition in front of the judges by singing an acoustic guitar cover of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together.” However, the singer, who said he normally plays with a band, didn’t get more than a few seconds into the tune before Cowell stopped him and called his choice a “safe wedding song.”

Landers suggested he play his backup song, “What’s Going on” by Marvin Gaye, but the former “American Idol” judge wasn’t having it.

“I’m just wondering whether we should just come up with a better song because your problem is that you don’t take risks,” the judge said.

The singer shrugged and said Cowell’s critique was “fair enough.”

“I wouldn’t shrug to that, I wouldn’t,” Cowell said. “Do you want to come back this afternoon with another song? It’s up to you.

It’s not me, it’s you.”

He continued: “I think you should come back later because right now we’re not understanding each other.”

Landers then went over the judge’s head and asked the crowd what they wanted, receiving mixed reactions.

“Lamont, you are getting on my nerves right now, because I actually like your voice, so I would suggest that you think about what

Africa Cup of Nations: Egypt progress to last 16

CAIRO, Jun 27 (Agencies): Egypt forward Mohamed Salah scored his first goal of this year’s Africa Cup of Nations to help the hosts to a 2-0 win over Democratic Republic of Congo on Wednesday which guaranteed them a place in the round of 16.

Ahmed Elmohamady broke the deadlock in the 25th minute, turning the ball in following a corner, before Salah netted a clinically-taken goal two minutes before halftime, sparking delirious celebrations at the Cairo International Stadium.

The result was harsh on the Congolese who twice hit the crossbar in the first half and spent most of the second on the attack in the Egyptian half.

Egypt, with six points from two games, guaranteed a top-two finish in Group A while Congo, who have no points, must beat Zimbabwe in their final match to have any chance of going through as one of the best third-placed teams.

“I want to congratulate our opponents, who played a good match, they played

very well, created chances, I think in the second half they were better than us,” said Egypt coach Javier Aguirre.

“We scored two, we could have scored a couple more, we have six points.”

The match was played in stifling heat and even at halftime, at 2300 local time, it was still 29 degrees Celsius.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

“God has you in His arms, We have you in our hearts”

Throughout all this, Salah looked as if he was in for a frustrating night after his disappointing evening in the 1-0 win over Zimbabwe.

The Egyptian icon had an early chance when he was given a clear run on goal but Tisserand managed to get a foot to his shot and deflected it wide.

Shortly after Egypt’s first goal, Salah had a free kick brilliantly saved by Ley Matampi but his frustration ended two minutes before halftime. Mahmoud Trezeguet charged out of defence and released Salah who cut inside a defender and planted the ball in the net.

Congo dominated the second half and were again unlucky not to score their first goal of the tournament.

Bolingi had a header brilliantly saved by Mohamed El Shenawy and Yannick Bolasie sent a free kick centimetres wide of the post.

“Unfortunately, we didn’t score but we hit the bar twice and had other chances,” said Democratic Republic of Congo coach Florent Ibenge. “I feel bad for the players.”

Vijender set for US debut on July 13 New Delhi, Jun 27 (PTI): Indian boxer Vijender Singh will make his debut in the US professional circuit on July 13 against local favourite Mike Snider in Newark, New Jersey.

Undefeated in his 10bout pro career so far, the 33-year-old Indian was originally scheduled to have his first fight on US soil in April in Los Angeles but an injury sustained during a sparring session delayed it. “@boxer vijender will make his US debut on 13 July at the Prudential Centre in Newark, New Jersey under @tr boxing against Mike Snider. It is set to be an eight round contest. Snider has a record of 13-5-3,” Vijender’s India promoters IOS Boxing Promotions said.

Vijender had signed up with Hall of Famer Bob Arum’s Top Rank Promotions for his US stint.

During his injur yforced break, Vijender returned to India and contested the Lok Sabha elections on a Congress ticket. He fought from the South Delhi constituency but could not win.

Snider last competed in February earlier this year. The bout was against Tommy Hughes in Chicago and Snider lost via TKO in round five.

Kohima, Jun 27 (NPN): A three-day long State level football referee clinic got underway at the IG Stadium, Kohima on Thursday.

The clinic is being organised by Nagaland Football Referee Board and hosted by Kohima District Football Referee Association. A total of 48 football referees from eight districts of Nagaland are undergoing the training session. All India Football Federation referee instructor Joy Chandra is the resource person and he is being assisted by referee from Manipur, Kiranjeet Th.

Sekhose also pointed out that the association has not been able to carry out activities to promote football in the State due to fund constraint.

All India Football Federation referee instructor Joy Chandra in his short speech said that in order to enhance football, the prime requirement is cohesive coordination between the administration, coach and referee. He, therefore, asked the referees to keep themselves updated as lots of changes are notified every year in the rules of the game.

Liverpool sign Van den Berg L o n do n , J u n 2 7 (Agencies): Liverpool have signed 17-year-old Sepp van den Berg from Eredivisie club PEC Zwolle.

Van den Berg’s transfer will be formally completed on July 1, with Liverpool understood to be paying an initial £1.3m.

The fee for the Netherlands U19 centre-back could eventually rise above £4m, depending on how many Premier League and European appearances he goes on to make for the Champions League holders.

Liverpool have beaten a host of big European clubs to the signing of Van den Berg - Bayern Munich, Sampdoria, Ajax and PSV Eindhoven were all interested in the young defender.

Van den Berg has revealed Liverpool’s interest came as a surprise to him, admitting to Liverpool’s official website, “I couldn’t believe it. I thought it was a joke!”

“I was really happy and, to be honest, I was a little bit scared at first because such a big club had interest in me. So, I was a little bit scared but eventually I was really excited.”

After making Van den Berg their first signing of the summer, Liverpool insist that while they will be look-

inaugural session admitted that the standard of football in the State has not seen much of an improvement during the past several years because NFA has not been providing the required guidance and instructions to the players and the referees.

He also attributed the slackness on the knowledge of local referees not being up to date, and expressed hope that this clinic would help them improve the knowledge of referee and standard of the game with the latest changes in the laws of the game. The president pointed out that very few players and referees in the state have got themselves registered for centralised registration system (CSR).

Van den Berg made his Eredivisie debut at the age of 16 in March 2018 and went on to make 15 league appearances for PEC Zwolle.

The defender has established himself in the Dutch youth side, starting each of their last three European U19 Championship qualifiers.

Van den Berg has described himself as “calm with the ball” and admitted he hopes to learn from Virgil van Dijk, as well as boss

Jurgen Klopp.

“I am calm with the ball, I am quite quick and can run, but I came here especially to improve myself more,” he said, when asked about his qualities.

“I think this is the best place for me to grow and hopefully play a lot of games here. I was thinking about (the idea of) training with Virgil. For me he is the best defender in the world right now, so I can learn a lot from him. Of course, the trainer (Klopp) is a great guy and one of the reasons they are successful - and also one of the reasons I came here.”

India close in on WC semis

Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni share a light moment during the World Cup match against West Indies on Thursday. (APPTI)

Manchester, Jun 27 (Agencies): Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami led another sterling bowling effort as India crushed West Indies by 125 runs at Old Trafford on Thursday to inch one step closer to the semi-finals of the 2019 Cricket World Cup. The massive Indian victory was also highlighted by Virat Kohli who top-scored with 72, MS Dhoni’s unbeaten 56 and useful contributions from KL Rahul (48) and Hardik Pandya (46).

India now have 11 points while West Indies with 3 points from 7 matches are out of the semi-finals race.

Mohammed Shami started the damage with 2 early wickets before Bumrah

picked 2 wickets in 2 balls to send West Indies crashing out of the World Cup. Chasing 269 on a tricky pitch, West Indies never found any momentum. Mohammed Shami removed Chris Gayle and Shai Hope inside the first 7 overs and the Windies never recovered from that early jolt.

Sunil Ambris and Nicholas Pooran looked to put their team on the road to recovery but Hardik Pandya dismissed Ambris to trigger a typical West Indies collapse.

Kuldeep Yadav next struck to snare Nicholas Pooran and at 80 for 4 in the 21st over on a pitch offering turn, all West Indies hopes had been dashed. In the 24th over, Yuzvendra Chahal

removed Jason Holder and India knew they were on the verge of a huge win.

Back for his second spell, Bumrah removed Carlos Brathwaite and Fabian Allen off consecutive deliveries before Shami struck again to see off Shimron Hetmyer as India marched towards a comfortable victory.

Earlier after winning the toss, Virat Kohli decided India would bat.

Rohit Shar ma was controversially ruled out by the third umpire Michael Gough who certainly did not rule the popularity charts among Indian fans on social media. But KL Rahul (48) and Virat Kohli (72) kept pressing forward against a disciplined West Indies bowling attack.

KL Rahul fell to another poor shot, Kedar Jadhav and Vijay Shankar failed but Kohli was a class apart.

He timed the ball better than anyone else and was the real threat as West Indies looked to keep India under 300.

MS Dhoni struggled to get going once again and with Hardik Pandya, he could not even rotate the strike well. Pandya did try to up the ante but Dhoni was unable to get going at the other end. The DhoniPandya partnership was slow but the pair made sure India had the services of two big-hitting batsmen for the death overs. Pandya eventually perished for 46.

India next take on hosts England on June 30.

Brief scores India: 268/7 (Virat Kohli 72, MS Dhoni 56 not out; Kemar Roach 3/36) West Indies: 143 all out (Sunil Ambris 31; Mohammed Shami 4/16, Jasprit Bumrah 2/9, Yuzvendra Chahal 2/39)

Aus, Indonesia held talks for joint 2034 WC bid

MELBOURNE, Jun 27 (Agencies): Australia has held talks with Indonesia about making a joint bid for the 2034 FIFA World Cup, despite the Southeast Asian nation’s involvement in another bid with regional neighbours for the same tournament.

Football Federation Australia told Reuters on Thursday that it had met Indonesian soccer federation (PSSI) officials to discuss a 2034 bid at an ASEAN meeting last week.

“Football Federation Australia confirms it has held discussions with the

Indonesia Football Association (PSSI) about the possibility to jointly bid for the 2034 FIFA World Cup,” the FFA said in a statement emailed to Reuters.

“An Indonesia-Australia joint bid was also discussed at last week’s ASEAN Football Federation Council Meeting in Laos.”

The revelation came only days after Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chanocha told a news conference in Bangkok that 10 countries from the ASEAN bloc, including Indonesia, would bid for 2034.

It was unclear how

advanced discussions were between Australia and Indonesia, with statements from both federations suggesting the talks were preliminary, at best.

The FFA said it noted the joint South East Asian bid was endorsed at the ASEAN summit and declined to elaborate whether talks with Indonesia were ongoing. Indonesian media, citing PSSI secretary general Ratu Tisha, reported on Wednesday that the federation had decided to partner with Australia after Thailand had pulled out of the 2034 bid because it was

“not ready”.

A PSSI executive told Reuters the Indonesian federation would be willing to work with “anyone” on a 2034 bid. “Of course we welcome it (a joint bid with Australia) and we will work hard to make it happen,” Yoyok Sukawi, a member of the PSSI’s executive committee, said.

“Indonesia is ready to work with anyone, it can be ASEAN, it can be with Australia.”

Australia was a candidate in the controversial bidding process for the 2022 World Cup awarded

to Qatar but managed to win only one vote from FIFA’s executive council members in 2010.

The losing Australian bid, funded by over A$40 million ($27.96 million) of government money, triggered strident criticism of the FFA and its methods by a FIFA-appointed ethics investigator who found the federation had funnelled money into development projects with ties to FIFA’s voting exco members.

The 2026 World Cup is being jointly hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.
