to oppose bill

DIMAPUR, JUN 1 (NPN): Growing opposition to the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 has found echo in Nagaland too with the Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) opposing the Bill and extending its support to the voices of indigenous people across the North Eastern States and Assam against the proposed legislation. Expressing serious concern over the possible negative impact of the Bill on the state, NTC through its media cell urged Government of India to reconsider its policy and not go against the sentiments of indigenous people. While lauding the decision of Meghalaya government of firmly opposing the Bill, NTC also urged Nagaland government to oppose the Bill keeping in mind the popular wish and interests of the citizens of the State. NTC feared that once the Bill is passed, it will grant citizenship to people belonging to minority communities (More on p-4) of Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists,

Stating that the Bill would allow religious groups from other countries to return to India and become its bona fide citizens, NTC termed the proposed legislation as “subjective and communal” as it stands for the interests of Hindus in particular overriding Indian pluralism and secularism. According to NTC, granting citizenship on religious consideration was dangerous and against secular principles of India. Northeast is highly infested by illegal immigrants, particularly from Bangladesh, and regularisation of these illegal residents will be a direct threat to the region’s political future and survival of its indigenous people, their identity, culture and land, it warned. NTC pointed out that in Assam, where 20 million illegal immigrants from Bangladesh alone are already residing there, the new law will only facilitate continuous flow of illegal immigrants to that State and its neighbours. So, sensing the possible impact of the Bill, leading civil society organisations, along with

Assam, it added. NTC said the apprehension of people of Assam is obvious given the fact that when the floodgate is opened, indigenous landowners in the State will be overwhelmed by the foreigners in due course of time. The native people of Assam will become secondary citizens by these intruders, it warned. Justifying the protests of the people of Assam under the aegis of All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) as right and timely, the council stated they deserve support from all indigenous communities in the Northeast. It stressed that Assam is a “good neighbour” and acts as the gateway to Nagaland, adding that the inter-State is and will remain porous. NTC further pointed out that as “when Assam gets cold Nagaland sneezes”, Nagaland’s border too cannot be sealed from infiltration of those illegal people in the long run. And when Assam is flooded with foreigners, Nagaland will become the first victim of the proposed Bill, it cautioned.

Cong accuses PDA of using 2 cadres killed in factional violence NH resolves to continue govt resources to win by-poll striving for Nagas’ cause DIMAPUR, JUN 1 (NPN): Two GPRN/NSCN cadres were killed and one civilian injured in a factional clash reportedly between NSCN (I-M) and GPRN/NSCN in Tirap district, Arunachal Pradesh on Thursday. The clash occurred at place between Namsang and Sipini village, under Deomali jurisdiction, Tirap district, according to sources. The factions resorted to indiscriminate firing resulting in the death of two cadres. MIP of GRPN/NSCN identified the two slain cadres as ‘capt.’ Ranchoan, son of Wangjo of Paniduria village, Tirap district and ‘corpl.’ Lainwang Konyak, son of Pongkei Konyak of Yuching village Mon district. GPRN/NSCN has expressed heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family members of the two slain cadres. MIP said the two died in “an unprovoked

factional incident” on May 31, 2108 at Deomali village, Paniduria under Tirap district of Arunachal Pradesh. One civilian RP from Namsang village, Deomali also suffered bullet injury to the leg, MIP stated. GPRN/ NSCN wished speedy recovery of the injured and prayed that God grant solace to bereaved families at this time of grief. FNR appeals for peace: In a statement, FNR has expressed deep concern over the clash between NSCN (I-M) and GPRN/NSCN in Arunachal Pradesh and added that it was “devastated” at the loss of human lives and injuries in the violence. FNR said that the factional violence that happened at a time when Nagas were reasoning together and seeking ways to strengthen the Naga reconciliation process, only undermined

the Naga yearning for reconciliation, understanding and harmony. It said such acts were contradictory to the commitment and principles of the Covenant of Reconciliation, and so called for ending all factional violence, especially armed violence. FNR appealed to leaders of both the groups to “immediately intervene and stop this factional violence.” Further, the forum appealed for restraint and urged the two sides to address the issues by using dialogue and peaceful means. FNR also called upon all the Naga Political Groups (NPGs) to remain vigilant and to refrain from all forms of armed violence and media-war. Meanwhile, FNR extended solidarity with fellow Nagas in Tirap, Changlang and Longding districts at their present difficult time.

DIMAPUR, JUN 1 (NPN): Noting with concern that some elements are trying to derail its smooth functioning by using the name of a Naga national organisation and asking some of its federal units not to attend Federal Assembly, Naga Hoho has resolved unanimously to continue striving for the cause and interests of Naga people. In a consultation meeting held at Hotel Vivor, Kohima on Thursday, the members also contended that with the withdrawal of Ao Senden and Sumi Hoho from Naga Hoho, any official belonging to the two tribes ceases to be a member of organisation. Therefore, it was decided that the concerned executives must resign from their respective posts in consonance with the

constitution and on moral ground. Though it was originally scheduled as a Federal Assembly, the members present agreed to convert the assembly into a consultative meeting in view of the absence of some officials and federating units. The House regretted the dissent among Naga Hoho office bearers vis-àvis calling of Federal Assembly, though it agreed that the speaker’s summon of the assembly was justified as office bearers had been failing to fulfil their constitutional obligations as enshrined in Yezabo Article 6 clause 4 under which the Federal Assembly has to be held at least twice a year. But, the members noted after the last assembly on September 28, 2016 no assembly was convened.

the Bill till it is scraped as the Bill will spell doom for the language, political and cultural indemnity of indigenous people of Assam which we are not going to let happen, “ Dr Bhattacharrya said adding that AASU and its are ready to hold further dialogue with the government to get a firm decision from the state government to oppose the Bill.

Students vandalise sports university offices in Mnp Correspondent

IMPHAL, Jun 1: A group of around 30 students of the Democratic Students’ Alliance of Manipur (DESAM) Friday ransacked the administrative block of Sports University in Imphal’s Khuman Lampak Sports Complex. The students resorted to violent activity protesting against the proposal to open several departments of the varsity in other states before its main campus at Imphal has been made a full-fledged university. They ransacked furniture and office properties of the university’s temporary administrative block at Olympic House, Khuman Lampak Sports Complex at around 11.30 a.m. Besides breaking the window panes and doors of the administrative block, the agitating students vandalized television sets, computers, table and chairs of the block. They destroyed furniture and other materials in the office chambers of the registrar and dean of the university before police intervened. The registrar and dean

were not in their office chamber when the incident took place. Only some staff and a private security man were at the block. However, they could not do anything as the activists smashed glasses and destroyed other office property. Later, talking to reporters, DESAM president Salam Akash who led the agitating students said that they were compelled to resort to the violent activities as state government as well as Centre failed to heed to their demands. He said that DESAM has been undergoing a series of campaign against opening of campus of the NSU in other states until its main campus at Imphal has been made full-fledged. “We have repeatedly requested the state government and concern authorities of the Central government regarding the subject. We have even submitted memorandums to state chief minister and others concern.” However, instead of taking up action to fulfill the demand, the work for opening outlying campus in Utter Pradesh’s Lucknow is

going on,” he alleged. Salam said: “Interview notices had been published for recruiting persons at the Lucknow offices in sports journalism, management and performances on June 11. We have been demanding location of these departments in Manipur. “ T h e g o ve r n m e n t should come out with a categorical statement on whether these three departments will be located in Imphal or Lucknow. We are prepared to launch other forms of agitation if the government maintains a stony silence.” He alleged both state and central government of inviting violent agitations by not heeding to their demand. He said that the student body will not accept such a treatment meted out by the Central government towards Manipur. He asked the government to come up with a clear stand to restore the university immediately failing which DESAM along with sports players and civil society organizations will resort to different forms of intense agitations.

SC seeks Centre’s reply on missing ULFA mediator

Rebati Phukan (File) NEW DELHI, JUN 1 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Friday issued notice to the Centre and the Assam government on a habeas corpus petition seeking production of former ULFA peace negotiator Rebati Phukan, who is missing since April 22. The notice has also been issued to the Meghalaya government. Rebati Phukan is known for initiating peace parleys between the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and the Central government. Issuing notice to the Centre, Assam and Meghalaya, the vacation bench of Justice L. Nageswara Rao and Justice Mohan M. Shantanagoudar gave two weeks’ time to respond to the habeas corpus petition moved by Rebati Phukan’s son Kaushik Phukan.

Senior counsel Geeta Luthra appearing for the petitioner Kaushik Phukan told the court that her client and his family needed protection and that his father must be found. The court was told that Rebati Phukan was last seen in Meghalaya and according to a journalist he took medical treatment. As the court was told that the Assam Chief Minister was trying to find him, it asked the petitioner why he did not approach the high court, saying: “There is no disability in approaching the high court. “What we are doing, even high court can do,” Justice Nageswara Rao said as senior counsel tried to justify approaching the top court saying that there was involvement of central agencies. Kaushik Phukan has moved the top court seeking direction to the authorities to produce his father. He has also sought transfer of investigations to the Central Bureau of Investigation or any other independent agency and direction to the Assam Police to furnish a status report on its investigation to trace his father.

did not need to go to the street if the government shows seriousness in addressing our grievances.” Chief Minister Conrad Sangma, meanwhile, said he did not see any reason why teachers should turn towards agitation.

NEW DELHI, Jun 1 (Agencies): In a controversial statement, Bangladesh High Commissioner, Syed Muazzem Ali on Thursday said that there are no illegal Bangladeshi migrants in Assam. Participating in an interaction at the Indian Women’s Press Corp (IWPC) here this afternoon, the High Commissioner however, added that there is an arrangement between the two countries and a mechanism has been worked out to take back criminals and others like citizens, who have overstayed, Assam Tribune reported. However, whatever is happening in Assam is not related to this and Government of Bangladesh has not been informed about the ongoing NRC exercise in Assam. “It remains with

State and Government of India has not informed us about it,” he said. The High Commissioner further informed that Union Home Minister, Rajnath Singh is scheduled to visit Bangladesh in July. The High Commissioner’s view is in line with Bangladesh Government’s argument that they consider NRC in Assam as part of India’s internal politics, especially state politics. “And we chose to ignore the developments. We remained silent as there was no communication from the government of India in this regard. We are not concerned about the political developments and policies in Assam State,” Bangladesh’s Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu told newsmen in Dhaka

recently. H owe ve r, h e a l s o claimed that issues related to deportation have not been discussed between India and Bangladesh at any level. Meanwhile, Bangladesh is also concerned about China’s bid to divert Brahmaputra River. The High Commissioner said that India should take a decision on signing multilateral level agreements. There should be a Joint River Delta Management agreement instead of water sharing agreement concerning Brahmaputra river. This proposal was given by Bangladesh Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in one-to-one talks recently in Shanti Niketan in West Bengal.

Arunachal to settle homeless Puroik people in Doimukh Circle Itanagar, Jun 1 (PTI): The Arunachal Pradesh government has decided to settle homeless Puroik community members at Tomru Village under Doimukh circle, about 25 kms from here. Also known as Sullungs, the members of the community were considered bonded labourers in the state earlier but were freed from their plight by a court order in 2002. The proposed 5-hectare settlement area under Doimukh Circle wore a new look today with the community members, particularly youth, clearing thick jungles on their own. The area has been allotted by the state land management department in response to a memorandum submitted by the Puroik Welfare Board to Chief Minister Pema Khandu on May 21 for their settlement. A large number of the community

members have no houses anywhere in the state. The community has a population of about 14,000, spread across an estimated 53 villages in Lower and Upper Subansiri, Papum Pare, Kurung Kumey and East Kameng districts and along upper reaches of Pare River. Former Governor P B Acharya, during his visit to Puroik Colony at Papu Nallah in March last year, was appalled by their inhuman living condition and had facilitated the formation of the Puroik Welfare Board for their emancipation. The state government had allocated Rs 10 crore in 2018-19 budget for selfemployment activities to ensure their socio-economic development. The state lawmakers, irrespective of party affiliation, had raised their voices for social equality,

Urgent remedy needed

n the recent by election to the lone Lok Sabha seat, Nagaland registered 86.73 % polling. It was between 55 % to 61% in two parliamentary constituencies in UP while it was around 70% in one constituency in Maharashtra. The high polling percentage in Nagaland is a feature in all elections and can be described as a special zeal. In the 2014 Lok Sabha election, the voters in Nagaland polled 85.14% whereas the all-India average was 66.4 % (Highest Ever). In 2009 the national average was 58.19% whereas Nagaland recorded 90.21% voter turn-out. Again, in 2004 Lok Sabha election, the voter turn out in Nagaland was slightly higher at 91.77% while the national average was 57.98 7%. The high percentage registered in Nagaland in all elections, suggest that either voters are the most enthusiastic among voters in India by unfailingly turning out in very large numbers or that even the old infirm and dying come out to vote or it could be due to rampant voting by impersonators. If there had been large( and massive) turn-out, it should be evident by the number of voters turning out to vote, in almost all polling stations under the 60 assembly constituencies. On May 28, media persons who visited a number of polling stations under the five assembly constituencies of Dimapur, witnessed that a majority had a fair turn out while some polling stations showed poor turn out. By speculative estimates, the voter turn out would have been at the most, between fifty (50) to sixty(60) percent. However, the final tally was officially recorded at 72%. This leaves one wondering as to where the ‘extra votes’ had come from. Even introduction of the Elector’s Photo Identity Card(EPIC) and webcasting in some polling stations has not dampened the spirit. It has been reported, that in many polling stations across the state, the head of a family was allowed to cast votes for the entire members. There were also reports, that in many villages, some persons designated to ‘vote’ as per the decision of the authority, had carried out the farce with impunity. The practices of manipulation of electoral rolls, conspiracy with polling officials, to proxy voting or en-bloc to booth capturing (‘couping’) need to be curbed and eliminated. If not, then elections in Nagaland will be farcical and a blot to democracy. Most of the genuine voters in Nagaland are hardly able to cast their votes since someone had already done them a favour. There have been serious allegations that polling officials look the other way when impersonators openly cast votes with the approval of all polling agents. In fact, voter impersonation has become a “done thing” in elections in Nagaland. Therefore, if elections are not free, nor fair and held in fear; the exercises of revision of electoral rolls becomes a futile exercise since the purpose of democratic elections cannot be served. Having a clean electoral roll should not be the only concern but to ensure that polling officials also enforce the ‘clean electoral roll’ by preventing impersonators from casting votes and booth capturers from hijacking the entire system. Without prejudice to any in the recent or past elections, if elections are farcical then it means that there is something seriously wrong with society

DailyDevotion The Staggering Question He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” —Ezekiel 37:3 Can a sinner be turned into a saint? Can a twisted life be made right? There is only one appropriate answer— “O Lord God, You know” (Ezekiel 37:3). Never forge ahead with your religious common sense and say, “Oh, yes, with just a little more Bible reading, devotional time, and prayer, I see how it can be done.” It is much easier to do something than to trust in God; we see the activity and mistake panic for inspiration. That is why we see so few fellow workers withGod, yet so many people working forGod. We would much rather work for God than believe in Him. Do I really believe that God will do in me what I cannot do? The degree of hopelessness I have for others comes from never realizing that God has done anything for me. Is my own personal experience such a wonderful realization of God’s power and might that I can never have a sense of hopelessness for anyone else I see? Has any spiritual work been accomplished in me at all? The degree of panic activity in my life is equal to the degree of my lack of personal spiritual experience. “Behold, O My people, I will open your graves…” (Ezekiel 37:12). When God wants to show you what human nature is like separated from Himself, He shows it to you in yourself. If the Spirit of God has ever given you a vision of what you are apart from the grace of God (and He will only do this when His Spirit is at work in you), then you know that in reality there is no criminal half as bad as you yourself could be without His grace. My “grave” has been opened by God and “I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells” (Romans 7:18). God’s Spirit continually reveals to His children what human nature is like apart from His grace.

Post-mortem

Migration, Citizenship and Indigenous Woes

igration is driven by demographic disparity, discrimination and opportunities. It was historic effort while Canada welcomes more than 40,000 Syrian refugees. 11 million Mexicans represent the largest unauthorized immigrant group in the US. During British India, Hindu Bengalis are brought to NE to help their official works. Lakhs of Tea gardens labours transported from eastern India were being exploited under Company Rule. Then three times Chief Minister of Assam (pre independence) Sir Muhammad Saadulla encouraged Muslims from East Bengal to work in Assam agriculture. There were unsuccessful empirical thoughts to bring hill areas of NE India and tribal areas of Burma under one Crown Colony Plan/Protectorate like Basutoland, Bechuanaland and Swaziland in Africa to empower the tribal in their own areas. On the eve of partition, the hill people of NE had not assimilated with Assam premier Gopinath Bordoloi. Mizos and Nagas negotiated with India to safeguard their forests, land and tradition. Interstate border disputes in the NE has erupted tension frequently. And the process of integration is still on after 70 years of independence. India receives world’s largest undocumented migration flows up to 17 million people from Indo-Bangladesh corridor. She witnessed 4.7 millions of Hindus and Sikhs moved from West Pakistan after partition. Communal Riots and economic stagnation during liberation of Bangladesh have forced minority Hindus to leave. East Pakistan Displaced Person (EDEP) made colony at Chittranjan Park, New Delhi, Bihar, Orissa and Mumbai. People chose Barak valley after

An attribution of socialism for its adjunction on the means of policies and factors of state’s production (state’s resources) owned and regulated by the community as a whole – still the rights of individual, corporations etc. in mediums of production vis-à-vis private ownership, remains as another attribute of liberty and economic freedom as inherent in democracy – and social democracy; a compilation of the two in the adequate form of natural justice, providing just the tools for the

hen a Mob of angry people assemble, reason goes out the window. A mob, irrespective of race, tribe, nationality or religion, functions on basis of the basic Animal Instinct latent in all Humans; the Instinct To Kill. The recent rape of a child of 12, in Mon town, saw another mob of angry Nagas assembled, ready to lynch the rapist. Many posts appeared on Facebook, generating varied comments, good and bad; and many were baying for blood. These Facebook cowards (as I term them) were urging the Mob to kill the rapist (oblivious to the fact that the posts must have appeared after the incident was over); one comment stood out, Peter Rutsa’s. He commented to the effect

Assam Sylhet joined East Pakistan. Kolkata saw mass flow of migration due to its industrial development. It is undeniable fact that large-scale migrations have illegally taken place over many decades from Moimonsingia community to Assam and still continues. The indigenous Tripuris became minority in the princely state of Tripura. The highlight falls with the line of Indira-Mujib accord for granting citizenship that enters India by Mar 25, 1971. NEFA did mistake by settling Chakma-Hajong as refugee in 1966. Now SC issued order to stop evicting Chakma-Hajong and instead implementing Citizenship with ST Status despite emotional concern for indigenous Arunachali. Mizoram has already drawn action plan by granting citizenship of Chakma keeping the 2018 assembly election. The age old ethnic hatred between the Nagas and Kukis (driven out their homeland Myanmar in the 18th century) are well known. Rohingyas made headlines after Bengal CM expressed support. They are not refugee as they entered illegally and none has applied for asylum. They are to be deported. Except Assam other NE states enjoy rights for indigenous people to maintain and strengthen their distinct political, legal, economic, social and cultural institutions. 500 km Indo-Bangla border is yet to be sealed. AASU is fighting for Clause 6 of Assam accord. Now Assam govt is voicing over citizenship bill for Hindu Bangladeshi. In July 2016 Lok Sabha introduced the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 to amend the Citizenship Act, 1955. This will make illegal migrants from Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Pakistan who belong to six communities such as Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists,

It composes a systematic structure, which incorporate liberty, equality, rights and justice extensively linear and unparalleled with reality. In such a framework, consistency in law would be advocated by prima facie. This tenet in attributes is affinitive simultaneously and precedent to the original roots of socialism and democracy compiled and yet could deviate proficiently towards compound and generally perceived as right and sound encompassing the priorities it originally serves to disseminate and promulgate – priorities including people’s future and growth orientation, liberty, equality and justice – the

Jains, Parsis and Christians are eligible for citizenship of India. Foreigners, who come into India without valid travel documents, or stay beyond their visa period, are considered illegal migrants. But certain exceptions have been made over the years. In Sep 2015, it says illegal migrants coming on or before Dec 31, 2014 were allowed to stay. And this exception was sought again in July 2016. Anybody who is born in India, has an Indian parent, or has lived in India for over 11 years, is eligible for Indian citizenship. Illegal migrants do not fit this category. The Bill seeks to allow illegal migrants without being imprisoned or deported. It also appeals for the minimum years of residency to apply for citizenship from 11 to 6 years. However it does not extend to illegal Muslim migrants, Jews, and Bahais. Our Constitution does not allow dual citizenship. But Person of India Origin (PIO) and Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) enjoy certain rights in India, on par with Indian nationals. The Bill now seeks to cancel the registration of OCI cardholders if they violate any law. Hearing on Citizenship Bill had begun amid protest in Guwahati to present a report before Parliament that seeks to grant citizenship to religious minorities facing persecution and violence for their beliefs. Barak valley supported the bill. JPC will also visit Shillong, where a large number of Hindu Bangladeshis are living there. Meghalaya govt has already shown strong objection towards the bill. Those Hindus from Bangladesh fleeing to India to escape persecution have been living in NE and Bengal since long without citizenship rights. Are they needed to be protected by

Pictures and videos were uploaded, giving fragmented and confusing impressions of the mob in action. But Rizwan Hasan’s post gave the clearest picture of all; one clip showed how, before the Police turned up, a man (in a blue shirt, I think) stood up next to the rapist, trying to pacify the mob. When the mob started pelting stones and other objects at the rapist, this courageous man even tried to shield the rapist with his own body. I distinctly recall this gentleman being hit by an object at least once. Another clip of Rizwan’s shows the Police ar-

law in our country? The Bill may violate Assam Accord 1985, which clearly states that illegal migrants heading in from Bangladesh after March 25, 1971, would be deported. Section 6A of the Citizenship Act (Amendment) 1985 was the legislative enactment of the legal part of the Assam Accord. In 2005, Apex court struck down the IMDT Act 1983 to ease the process of detection and deportation of illegal migrants. The tasks of Foreigners Tribunal Assam detect-delete-deport have identified almost 20,000 foreigners but it becomes impossible to deport them. However deportation has not been discussed between India and Bangladesh at any level so far. The purpose of updating National Register of Citizenship (NRC) to identify foreigners is yet to be completed. Should we wait for the outcome of NRC to get the exact figures? Should Brahmaputra valley merely give up and succumb to JPC? India’s North East just can’t afford migrants anymore. Migration has significant implication for its demography, economy, socio-cultural framework and environment. All Political parties utilize migrants as a convenient political vote bank. The rule of AFSPA and underdevelopment still haunts their lives. The tribal of the region are yet to be assimilated to India. A long term solution is necessary for both indigenous and legal migrant communities to live and work together in harmony towards the development of the states. Should India welcome illegal immigrants on humanitarian ground? But Citizenship (Amendment) Bill will infringe the Rights of Indigenous People in the future. Kamal Baruah, Rukminigaon, Guwahati

riving and rescuing the rapist. It is easy for politically correct pedants to carp and complain that the people, police and administration of Mon town should have acted long before things took such a turn; but compare their actions to the people, police and administration in other states. I have seen numerous clips of policemen standing idly by (if not actively aiding and abetting) while mobs ransacked Churches and beat up Christians; Moslems being beaten, even unto death, for carrying beef or transporting cows. And in none of these cases have I seen even a single person or policeman standing up against the mob. My views on rapists are on public record (On crimes and punishments

Press statement on Lokayukta Act

he Lokpal and Lokayukta Act, 2013 of Indian parliament was a shot in the arm for citizens of world’s largest Democracy. The anti-corruption Act was enacted to provide for the establishment of the institution of Lokpal to check corruption at the central level and Lokayukta at the state level. Since the passage of the bill by the parliament, 21 states have already set up Lokayukta institution. After a delay of 5 years, with demands from various NGOs and the Supreme Court directing the Chief Secretaries of 11 states to explain the five-year delay in appointment of anti-corruption ombudsman Lokayukta and Uplokayukta. The Nagaland Lokayukta bill 2015 saw its light with amendments on December 15, 2017, and Governor PB Acharya giving assent on 22 March 2017, leaving it to the government of the day as and when to make the Lokayukta Bill functional and a reality. Since then with the coming of the new government with the slogan “change is coming” there has been a huge expectation from the public that the Institution of the Lokayukta will be accorded foremost priority given the case of various sorts of corrupt activities in the state government being highlighted in both print and social media. However, much to the dismay of the public the Lokayukta is yet to be instituted. People for Democratic Rights (PDR) positively reminds the government that “justice delayed is justice denied” and the democratic government having its mandate to govern for the public cannot deny its citizens their democratic rights. PDR demands that the government immediately show its sincerity to fight corruption by instituting the Lokayukta in Nagaland. It also demands that the individual/s to be appointed in the Commission should be of highest integrity acceptable by the public to maintain highest sanctity and not according to political convenience. PDR urges the PDA government to ensure amendments to the bill providing enough power to fight corruption which is only the way out for highly corrupted system of Nagaland and usher in developed and progressive Nagaland.

Reader’s Post

Sir,

Call to protect flora and fauna

Blessed with beautiful landscape, hills, forest and valleys having rich flora and fauna, Nagaland is called the “Switzerland of the East”. Blessed with arable lands for cultivation and tranquil climate and environment for existence of flora and fauna; Nagaland is gradually losing various species of animals and medicinal plants due to excessive extraction or hunt for consumption and commercial purposes. The species of birds, animals, and plants we have seen within our vicinity, a decade or earlier were seen no more or hardly seen. If the people of Nagaland continues to excessively access the beautiful nature, our children of tomorrow would not see what we have seen today. As a responsible citizen, let us step forward to contribute and educate people of our own locality in preserving and protecting our beautiful nature to minimise global warming. Let us breathe and drink together the unpolluted air and water. Mongtikala, Lower Bayavu Kohima

Advanced DNA labs to come up NH resolves to continue striving for Nagas’ cause (From p-1)

New Delhi, June 1 (IANS): To accelerate criminal investigations of crimes against women, India’s first advanced DNA forensic laboratory will come up in Chandigarh and five more such labs will be set up in Mumbai, Chennai, Guwahati, Pune and Bhopal in the next three months, Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi said on Friday. “Forensic analysis plays a critical role in criminal investigation and the Sakhi Suraksha Advanced DNA Forensic Laboratory in the Central Forensic Science Lab (CFSL), Chandigarh campus will contribute in addressing the gap in forensic DNA analysis of pending sexual assault cases in the country. “The current sample storage capacity of CFSL is less than 160 cases per year and Sakhi Suraksha Advanced DNA Forensic

Maneka Gandhi

Laboratory is estimated to increase the capacity to 2,000 cases per year in Chandigarh alone,” she said in a statement. Elaborating on the project, which is in a joint effort with Union Home Ministry, Gandhi said that the lab is being set up as a model forensic lab and would be replicated in other parts of the country, bringing the total minimum annual capacity of the labs to 50,000 cases. Underscoring the importance of the forensics in nabbing the culprits in sexual assault cases, she said that

special forensic kits for rape would be distributed to all police stations and hospitals by the July. “Forensic rape kits are currently with CFSL Chandigarh for validation. These inviolable kits will be used for providing uncontaminated evidence and would contain a complete list of evidence/samples to be collected along with the equipment required to collect the evidence,” she added. According to a ministry statement, the Sakhi Suraksha Advanced DNA Forensic Laboratory would have four units are address cases related to women - a Sexual Assault and Homicide unit; Paternity unit; Human Identification unit and a Mitochondrial unit. “Apart from the sexual assault and homicide unit, the other three units are interlinked and will work to examine cases related to crime against women. While paternity unit is es-

sential to solving cases related to criminal paternity, gender selection and child swapping in hospitals, the human identification unit is important in cases of missing person or children. “Mitochondrial unit will conduct mitochondrial DNA analysis in cases where regular Nuclear DNA analysis is not possible such as in case of highly degraded samples. The mitochondrial unit can also be used to better explore family relationships,” it said. At present, there are six Central Forensic Science Labs (CFSLs) in Chandigarh, Guwahati, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Pune and Bhopal and one State Forensic Science Lab in each state/ union territory. These labs are responsible for conducting forensic analysis of all cases in the country including sexual assault, criminal paternity and homicide.

Further, the meeting felt that the necessity of the speaker to consult the president for convening the assembly did not arise as the executive council meeting of October 31, 2017 had requested both the president and vice-president to demit their offices on the ground that their respective tribe organisations viz., Ao Senden and Sumi Hoho

had dissociated from Naga Hoho. And the Yezabo clearly explains holding of posts in Naga Hoho vide Article 18 clause 1. Besides, four federating units of Naga Hoho – Chakhesang Public Organisation, Angami Public Organisation, Puchury Hoho and Rengma Hoho – had on the same ground questioned the legitimacy of the president and vicepresident’s letter addressed

to the speaker, dated 29/9/2017, the members observed. In the executive council meeting, the four organisations had made their stand explicitly clear that they would not cooperate unless their contention was addressed. Besides, officials of Naga Hoho present also reiterated that they stood by the executive council meeting resolution that

“unless the president and vice-president demit office, the executives shall resign en mass”. Earlier, subsequent to an invocation prayer by Naga Hoho finance secretary Rungutuo Sechu, Mutsikhoyo Yhobu was appointed as session secretary to conduct proceedings of the House. This was stated in a statement by speaker Kenyuseng Tep and session secretary Yhobu.

Royalty issue: SSSUD threatens to impose sand ban (From p-1) SSSUD had earlier disclosed that both G&M department and forest department have been collecting taxes from sand-laden trucks. It said the G&M department issues money receipt, but the forest department issues token in a small piece of paper at both New Field and Delai check gates. G&M department has said that as per Nagaland Rules of Executive Business 2016, the department has been authorized as administrative authority of mineral concession and development of minerals in the state. It stated that the dispute between forest and G&M departments was already resolved at a joint meeting on October 28, 2017 and accordingly, a clear administrative order was issued with the approval of chief minister under the present PDA government on April 2, 2018. The department said it was collecting royalty as per the rate prescribed under Schedule 1 of Nagaland Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 2004 (NMMCR 2004) against issue of money receipt.

noted: “... counsel appearing for the State submits that the chargesheet has been filed. The petitioner will now appear before the trial court and seek regular bail.” On May 22, the top court had asked the Tamil Nadu Police not to take coercive action against Shekher till June 1 after he sought anticipatory bail. The social media post made insinuations against the media and

women journalists after 78year-old Tamil Nadu Governor Banwarilal Purohit patted a woman journalist on her cheek, apparently seeking to avoid answering a question she had asked. Shekher has already apologised and deleted the Facebook post in April. He claimed that the post was penned by one of his friends, S. Thirumalai, questioning the chastity of women journalists and shared it on Shekher’s Facebook page. The Madras High Court earlier dismissed Shekher’s initial plea for anticipatory bail and directed police to take action on the complaint as they would do on a normal complaint against any person.

New Delhi, June 1 (IANS): Inter net-based messaging service providers like WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal and others need to make modifications to their platforms so that users can no longer be added to group chats without express consent, said a group of activists from India on Friday. In an open letter addressed to Telegram Messenger CEO Pavel Durov and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, among others, the group said that all major messaging services currently let users to be added to groups without permission, exposing their personal details like phone numbers and profile pictures to group members. “In the

absence of a mechanism to prevent themselves from being added to groups that they would not like to participate in, users have no option but to manually exit the groups,” read the letter signed by Software Freedom Law Centre and a few other civil society organisations and individuals. “This is a troubling state of affairs because users may be forcefully exposed to a range of subjectively undesirable content that they would never have signed up for otherwise, which can be particularly damaging, especially in situations where malicious actors attempt to intimidate, disparage, harass or harm individuals in any way,” they wrote.

New Delhi, June 1 (IANS): The CBI on Friday issued summons to former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram, the second time in a week, asking him to join the investigation on June 6 in connection with the INX Media corruption case, the probe agency said. The senior Congress leader has been asked to face the questions of the investigators at the agency’s headquarters in south Delhi’s Lodhi Road. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) first issued the summons to Chidambaram in the case on Wednesday asking him

to appear the next day, but the Congress leader skipped the notice after the Delhi High court granted him interim protection from arrest. That time, Chidambaram’s lawyer Arun Natarajan told the CBI through an application that his client would not join investigation into the case when it is under consideration of the court. Chidambaram’s move came after the Delhi High Court on Thursday granted

him interim protection from arrest in the INX Media case directing the CBI not to take any coercive action against him till July 3 -- the next date of hearing. The CBI on May 15 last year filed an FIR in the case accusing Chidambaram, his son Karti and others of involvement in irregularities committed in giving INX Media the clearance to receive Rs 305 crore in foreign investment.

The Reserve Bank of India needs to keep interest rates unchanged next week to boost growth and lend a helping hand to manufacturers who are struggling to access bank loans, Kumar said. The inability of banks to extend credit amid mounting bad loans is a risk to growth this year, he added. RBI Governor Urjit Patel has kept rates unchanged since August and cut inflation projections before turning hawkish at its April policy meeting. The recent spike in oil has boosted speculation the rate-setting panel will raise rates at its June 6 meeting. “It would be reasonable for RBI to maintain a steady pause so that they can see whether pressures on inflation are transitory,” Kumar said.

New Delhi, Jun 1 (PTI): Days ahead of RBI's monetary policy review, India's three major banks SBI, PNB and ICICI Bank Friday increased their benchmark lending rates or MCLR by up to 0.1 per cent, making loans costlier for consumers. The new rates are effective from Friday. India's largest lender SBI has increased the lending rate by 10 basis points across all tenors up to three years. Now SBI's overnight and one-month tenors' Marginal Cost of Funds Based Lending Rate (MCLR) stands at 7.9 per cent as against 7.8 per cent, as per the SBI's website. The MCLR for a threeyear tenor increased to 8.45 per cent from 8.35 per cent earlier.

ported steel and aluminum kept forex sentiment little shaky with the rupee depreciating in early trade. The domestic unit touched a low of 67.45 before staging a strong rebound. On the energy front, cr ude futures regained ground after early losses, but the US benchmark is set for a second consecutive week of declines as US oil output comes close to matching that of top producer Russia. Brent crude futures, an international benchmark, is trading weak at USD 77.04 a barrel in early Asian trade. At the inter-bank foreign exchange (forex) market, the local unit resumed virtually flat at 67.41 against the US dollar. After briefly hitting a low of 67.45 in early morning deals, the rupee surprisingly sprung back to life following a heavy dollar unwinding exporters and banks.

Trade war looms on Trump’s tariffs move

London, Jun 1 (Agencies): Europe, Canada and Mexico are planning retaliatory moves after President Trump imposed tariffs on steel and aluminium imports to the US. The European Union issued a 10-page list of tariffs on US goods ranging from Harley-Davidson motorcycles to food products, BBC reported. It also plans to challenge the move at the World Trade Organization (WTO). Mr Trump claimed the tariffs would protect US steelmakers, which were vital to national security. French President Emmanuel Macron called Mr Trump to tell him the tariffs were “illegal” - a term echoed by Bernd Lange, chair of the European Parliament’s international trade committee. The MEP hoped a trade war could be avoided but warned that Mr Trump’s action demonstrated the US president was “not willing to stick to the rules”. Germany’s Economy Minister, Peter Altmaier, hoped a decisive EU response would make Mr

Donald Trump

Trump reconsider his decision. UK International Trade Secretary Liam Fox said the 25% levy on steel was “patently absurd”, adding: “It would be a great pity if we ended up in a tit-for-tat trade dispute with our closest allies.” Barry Gardiner, the Labour shadow trade secretary, told the BBC’s Today programme the US measures were “based on a lie”, adding the UK should not be “bullied by the president ... we believe in a rulesbased system and Trump doesn’t”. Gareth Stace, head of trade body UK Steel, said

the tariffs were “no way to treat your friend” and called on the government to safeguard the industry’s 31,000 jobs. Justin Trudeau, the Canadian Prime Minister, said the US move was “totally unacceptable” and rejected the claim that his country posed a national security threat to America. Canada plans to impose tariffs of up to 25% on about $13bn worth of US exports from July 1. Goods affected will include some American steel, as well as consumer products such as yoghurt, whiskey and coffee. Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray said his country was planning new duties for imports of steel, pork, apples, grapes, blueberries and cheese from the US. Opposition to the tariffs was also voiced by prominent Republicans. House Speaker Paul Ryan, the most influential Republican in Congress, said the move “targets America’s allies when we should be working with them to address the unfair trading practices of countries like China”.

international US tariffs a dangerous game, says EU London, Jun 1 (Agencies): The US is playing a “dangerous game” by slapping tariffs on European steel and aluminium, the European Union’s trade commissioner has said. Cecilia Malmstrom warned the move by US President Donald Trump would have consequences for the economic recovery of the EU, as well as US consumers. The EU has issued a 10-page list of tariffs on US goods ranging from Harley-Davidson motorcycles to bourbon, BBC reported. Canada and Mexico are also planning retaliatory moves against the tariffs. Ms Malmstrom said the EU would challenge the move at the World Trade Organization but that tariffs on US imports were necessary as “we cannot just take these tariffs and stay silent”. The commissioner said that despite the EU’s “rebalancing” action, the two sides were not in a trade war. “What we are in is a very difficult situation,” Ms Malmstrom said. This situation could only be diffused by the US withdrawing its measures against the EU, she added.

Seoul, Pyongyang to hold military-level talks Seoul, Jun 1 (Agencies): North and South Korea Friday agreed to hold military and Red Cross talks later this month on reducing tensions and resuming reunions of families separated by the 1950-53 Korean War. The rivals also agreed at a meeting of senior officials at the border village of Panmunjom to establish a liaison office at the North Korean border town of Kaesong and hold sports talks on fielding combined teams for some sports at the Asian Games in August, as they continue to take steps toward reconciliation. S o u t h Ko r e a s ay s building trust with North Korea is crucial amid a US-led diplomatic push to persuade the North to give up its nuclear weapons. The high-level meeting between the Koreas followed talks in New York between US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and senior North Korean envoy Kim Yong Chol on a possible summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. American delegations are also meeting with North Koreans at Panmunjom and in Singapore as part of

Oppn leader becomes new Spanish PM after Rajoy forced out

Madrid, Jun 1 (IANS): Pedro Sanchez, the leader of Spain’s opposition Socialist Party, took over as the country’s new Prime Minister on Friday after Mariano Rajoy was forced out of office by a no confidence vote in Parliament. Rajoy was toppled by a corruption scandal involving members of his Popular Party (PP) and became the first leader in Spain’s modern democracy to lose a vote of no trust in Parliament, the BBC reported. Sánchez, 46, secured the needed majority of 176 votes out of 350 seats in Spain’s lower chamber. “We’re going to sign a new page in the history of democracy in our country,” Sánchez said.

sports officials were set for June 18 at Panmunjom, the ministry said. South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who met with Kim Jong Un twice in the past two months, has said progress in interKorean reconciliation will be a crucial part of international efforts to resolve the nuclear standoff with North Korea because the North won’t give up its nuclear program unless it feels its security is assured. Ri Son Gwon, chairman of the North Korean agency that deals with inter-Korean

affairs, told Cho at the start of the meeting that the rivals should work on building “trust and consideration for each other” to carry out the agreements forged at the recent inter-Korean summits. When Moon and Kim met for their first summit at Panmunjom in April 27, they spoke of vague aspirations for a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula and permanent peace, which Seoul has tried to sell as a meaningful breakthrough that increases the chances of successful nuclear negotiations between Trump and Kim.

No ongoing talks with Afghanistan govt: Taliban Kabul, Jun 1 (IANS): The Taliban on Friday denied any talks with the Afghanistan government, after the head of the US and NATO forces in the country General John Nicholson said last week that both parties were holding a dialogue. “We categorically reject this baseless claim made by General Nicholson. The policy of Islamic Emirate regarding talks and negotiations had been frequently announced and it does not have any secret lay-

ers,” Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said in a statement. Mujahid accused Nicholson of making these “fabricated statements” to “divert attention from his failures” and keeping the American press “occupied with false allegations rather than exposing Trump’s failed strategy for Afghanistan”, reports Efe news. On Wednesday, Nicholson compared the Asian country’s situation with the peace process in Colombia.The general’s comparison took into ac-

count Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani’s proposal in February to hold peace negotiations with the Taliban. The military called it “talking and fighting” and said that violence and progress can coexist, as is happening now in Afghanistan. In February, Ghani’s offer to the Taliban included its political recognition, permission to open a political office, the issue of passports, facilitating relocation of their families and release of prisoners, among other offers.

UP: 4 ex-CMs getting ready to leave bungalows

K o l ka t a , J u n 1 (IANS): The West Bengal BJP on Friday held demonstrations and gheraoed a number of police stations in the city and districts protesting against the killing of one of their youth activists in Purulia district and accused the state administration of failing to maintain law and order in the state. The activists and leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party agitated outside Girish Park, Baguihati and Lake Town police stations in Kolkata on Friday afternoon. Protest demonstrations were

also held outside the police stations in North 24 Parganas, Howrah, East Bardhaman and Birbhum districts. State BJP Chief Dilip Ghosh accused the Trinamool Congress of trying to obliterate the political opposition from the state and claimed that they are capable of giving a befitting reply to the ruling party’s violence. “They have claimed to make the state oppositionfree. We have removed the opposition from the entire India. They (Trinamool Congress) are hiding in Ben-

gal. They are insignificant,” said Ghosh, who himself participated in a demonstration outside North 24 Parganas’ Habra police station. He also condemned the attacks and killing of the BJP activists in the state. “One of our young activists was killed and hung from a tree for supporting BJP. What kind of politics is this? What kind of administration is at work here? Should we pay them back in the same coin? We are very much capable of doing so,” Ghosh warned.

Centre to refund GST charged on raw food purchased by religious institutions

New Delhi/ Chandigarh, Jun 1 (PTI): The Centre has decided to refund its share of GST charged on purchase of raw food items by charitable religious institutions for distributing free meals to the public, Union Minister and SAD leader Harsimrat Kaur Badal said today. The Centre’s share of GST charged on the raw food materials purchased by the religious institutions will be refunded under a new scheme ‘Seva Bhoj Yojana’, she told reporters at a press conference in the national

capital. The move came after the Shriomani Akali Dal (SAD), an ally of the ruling NDA, and the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) demanded that raw food material being purchased for langars served at gurdwaras be exempted from the Goods and Services Tax (GST). Harsimrat, who is the Minister of Food Processing, had also written a letter in this regard to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. The scheme has an

‘BJP issuing absurd statements after defeat’ LU C K N OW, J u n 1 (AGENCIES): Alleging that the ruling BJP was unable to digest its defeat in the Uttar Pradesh by-polls, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav today said leaders of the saffron party had resorted to issuing absurd statements after the poll reversal. Referring to state BJP chief Mahendra Nath Pandey’s statement that the unethical politics of fatwa and casteism temporarily overpowered the politics of development, Yadav was quoted in a party release as saying that rejecting the people’s mandate had become the norm in the ruling party. “First the BJP tried to influence the impartiality of elections and now after the results have gone in favour

of the opposition parties, they have started issuing absurd statements,” he said, adding they tried their best to disturb peace in the western region this time and in doing so their arithmetic went haywire. “Now the BJP leadership needs to learn how to respect public sentiment but it seems that they have no faith in democratic values and the Constitution,” Akhilesh said. The SP chief asked the BJP to also learn to deal with defeat or else they will not be able to face the outcome of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. BJP state unit chief had yesterday said, “Politics of fatwa, casteism, and politics devoid of any principles temporarily overpowered politics of development.

estate department official told PTI. Claiming compliance with the SC order, Mayawati had last week vacated the bungalow on 6, Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg which, the BSP claimed, was allotted to her as former CM. The BSP appeared to suggest that the notice Mayawati got is for the wrong bungalow. “The UP government notice asked Mayawati to vacate 13A, Mall Avenue, and not the bungalow on Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg, which they claim was actually allotted to her as a former chief minister,” BSP said. Last week, a BSP delegation met Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, claiming that the Mall Avenue bungalow was converted into a Kanshi Ram memorial in 2011, and Mayawati occu-

New Delhi, Jun 1 (IANS): The Delhi High Court on Friday issued notice to the Centre and others on a plea that sought abolition of the death penalty to those accused of minors’ gang rape. A bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C. Hari Shankar listed the matter for July 31. Social Action Forum for Manav Adhikar (SAFMA) had moved the court through advocate Charu Walikhanna, seeking declaration of Sections 5 and 6 of the Criminal Law (Amendment) Ordinance, 2018, (prescribing death sentence for gang rape of children under the age of 12) as void, being in derogation of Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution. In the wake of widespread outrage over the gang rape and murder of an 8-year-old girl in Jammu and Kashmir and succumbing to political expediency, the impugned ordinance had been introduced, the plea said. The petitioner claimed that the ordinance was brought without conducting proper research, adding that no prior consultations were held with the Law Commission, National Human Rights Commission and the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights.

wife Ujjwala Tiwari has sought more time from the estate department, pleading that her husband was in the “last stages” of his life. Controversy has arisen over Mayawati’s claim that the 13 A Mall Avenue bungalow was party founder Kanshi Ram’s memorial. The estate department has rejected Mayawati’s claim that the 13 A Mall Avenue is Kanshi Ram’s memorial, while claiming that the 6 Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg residence, which she had vacated, was under her “illegal possession”. “13A Mall Avenue was allotted to Mayawati in capacity as former CM while 6 Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg bunglow was under her illegal possession. She has to vacate Mall Avenue residence as per the SC order,” a senior

We cannot extend the period. As of now, former CMs -- Kalyan Singh and Rajnath Singh -- have given information of vacating their accommodations. We hope others will follow,” Estate Officer Yogesh Shukla told PTI. They currently occupy prime government properties in the high-security VVIP zone in Lucknow. While Mulayam Singh Yadav and Akhilesh Yadav occupy bungalows on the posh Vikramaditya Marg, Mayawati and Tiwari reside in the official bungalow on Mall Avenue. Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh’s bungalow is at 4, Kalidas Marg, just next to the residence of the chief minister. While Rajnath Singh, who is also the local MP, has shifted to his residence on 200 square metre plot at 3/206 Vipul Khand in Gomti Nagar, Rajasthan Govenor Kalyan Singh’s belongings have been moved to the official bungalow of his grandson Sandeep Singh, who is a minister in the Yogi Adityanath government.

L u ckn ow, J u n 1 (PTI): Four former Uttar Pradesh chief ministers are getting ready to leave their official bungalows with the Supreme Court deadline ending this weekend. The top court had on May 7 held that former chief ministers of Uttar Pradesh cannot retain government accommodation after demitting office. The estate department had issued notices to six former chief ministers Narayan Dutt Tiwari, Mulayam Singh Yadav, Kalyan Singh, Mayawati, Rajnath Singh and Akhilesh Yadav - to vacate their official bungalows in compliance with SC the order. The four former chief ministers, except for Tiwari and BSP supremo Mayawati, appear to be leaving their bungalows. While Tiwari is ill, his

While former chief minister Tiwari has not yet vacated his bungalow on the Mall Avenue, a board reading ‘Pandit Narain Dutt Tiwari Sarvjan Vikas Foundation’ has been fixed outside it in an apparent bid to save it. No other communication has been received from Tiwari, an estate department officer said. With barely a day left for the expiry of deadline to former Uttar Pradesh chief ministers to vacate their official bungalows, the other former CMs are leaving their official houses. Belongings of former UP chief ministers Akhilesh Yadav and Mulayam Singh Yadav were seen being taken out from their official residences at 4 and 5 Vikramaditya Marg. However, it is still unclear as to where will they exactly move. “Both Akhileshji and ‘netaji’ (Mulayam) will be leaving the accommodation with the notice period,” SP spokesperson Rajendra Chowdhury said.

Bill Clinton, James Patterson team up in new thriller novel

n what is going to mark the debut of former US President Bill Clinton as a fiction writer, he has teamed up with James Patterson and their thriller, rich in “information that only a former Commander-inChief could know” will be released globally on Monday (June 4). The much anticipated novel is titled “The President is Missing” and is being published by Penguin Random House. “Yes, ‘The President is Missing’ is fiction -- it’s a thriller -- but James Patterson and I have come up with three of the most frightening days in the

history of the presidency. And it could really happen... These days, the seemingly impossible can happen. And it happens so fast. I believe that readers will not soon forget President Jonathan Duncan and his story,” Clinton said in a statement released by his publisher. The novel is said to confront “a threat so huge that it jeopardizes not just Pennsylvania Avenue and Wall Street, but all of America”. “Uncer tainty and fear grip the nation. There are whispers of cyberterror and espionage and a traitor in the Cabinet. Even the President him-

self becomes a suspect, and then he disappears from public view,” the publisher elaborated on the novel. The novel is set over the course of three days and, according to the publisher, it sheds “a stunning light” upon the “inner workings and vulnerabilities” of the United States. The publisher further said that “The President is Missing” is filled with information that only a former Commander-inChief could know. “This is the most authentic, terrifying novel to come along in many years. And a timely, historic story that will be read -- and talked about -- for years to come,” said the publisher. The novel will be available at all major bookstores in India and online from Monday. B i l l C l i n t o n wa s elected president of the United States in 1992 and served two terms. James Patterson is one of the biggest selling writers of all time. (IANS)

AX7 working on new song for ‘Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4’

Alicia Silverstone is ‘doing great’ after filing for divorce

ccording to Avenged Sevenfold bassist Johnny Christ, the group is currently putting the finishing touches on a new song that will be released in July. The track will apparently appear in the upcoming video game “Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4”, which will be released via Activision on October 12. The band previously contributed music to the previous three installments of the game series, and even appears (virtually) in the second chapter, when they can be seen performing the song “Carry On” in an epilogue after the closing credits. “The [new] song is written,” Christ told Lou Brutus of HardDrive Radio during an interview at

the Rock On The Range festival in Columbus, Ohio earlier this month. “We’re recording it right now. We just took a break in the studio recording it this last week, and we’re going to finish it up this coming week. Then it will go off to get mixed and mastered, and I believe some time in July is when everyone will be hearing it for the first time. We don’t have a name for it yet. [Vocalist M. Shadows] is figuring out the lyrics. I think he just finished them before we came out here. It’s a fun song — it’s a little bit of a departure from I think what our fans would expect, but I guess that also makes sense because they expect crazy from us now.” (Blabbermouth)

t’s been less than a week since Alicia Silverstone filed for divorce from her husband, musician Christopher Jarecki, and the actress says she’s doing well as she moves into this new chapter in her life. “I’m doing great,” the beloved “Clueless” star told ET’s Leanne Aguilera at the premiere of her new sitcom, “American Woman,” in Los Angeles on Thursday. “We love our son, [and] everything’s good.” The couple, who announced that they had separated in February, share a 7-year-old son, Bear Blu. On May 25, Silverstone officially filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split. The actress listed the couple’s date of separation as March 15, 2016. “They still deeply love and respect each other and remain very close friends but have mutually decided to separate after being together for 20 years,” the actress’ rep tells ET. “They have a son together who they will continue to co-parent.” The couple tied the knot in a gorgeous beachfront wedding ceremony at Lake Tahoe in June 2005, after dating for eight years. They welcomed their son in May 2011. (FoxNews)

Drake offering $100G for dirt on Pusha T, rival rapper claims

rake is apparently offering thousands of dollars for dirt on rival rapper Pusha T as the feud between the two hiphop artists escalates. Pusha T made the claim Thursday night in a tweet, days after his track “The Story of Adidon” accused the Toronto rapper of fathering a child with former French porn star Sophie Brussaux and being a “deadbeat.” “You got 100K floating around for info? Can’t no amount of money create skeletons that don’t exist… #ImUpset,” King Push tweeted. Pusha T’s tweet doubled down on comments he made in a recent interview with “The Breakfast Club” on New York’s Power 105 radio station that he doesn’t have skeletons in his closet. Drake hasn’t addressed the allegations that he has an illegitimate child with a former porn star, but TMZ reported that the OVO artist is financially supporting the woman and her child. Drake has been accused of being the father of numerous children with multiple women, and according to TMZ the latest claim has been the most “credible.” Drake has reportedly told the women that if there’s proof he’s the father he would financially support them and the children.

The others whose contracts ended were: Bikramjit Singh, Keenan Almeida, Jude Nworuh, Fulganco Cardozo, Sanjay Balmuchu, Pawan Kumar and Shahin Lal Meloli. The team has already retained 13 players from last season for their title defence, with head coach John Gregory and sports scientist Niall Clark also signing oneyear extensions. Dhanachandra Singh, a mainstay in the defence, played in 26 of the 28 matches across the first two ISL seasons for Chennaiyin FC. However, a knee injury kept him out of the 2016 season before he played his part with three appearances in the previous campaign as Chennaiyin lifted the ISL trophy a second time. The team also bid goodbye to Bikramjit, who played an important role in the midfield on the way to the title last season. CFC bid adieu to its speedy Nigerian attacker Jude Nworuh, who was a lethal component of the squad from the bench. He made a total of 11 appearances for the club.

Keys fends off Osaka to reach last 16

Madison Keys returns a shot to Naomi Osaka on Friday.

Paris, Jun 1 (Agencies): American 13th seed Madison Keys overcame a second-set wobble to beat Japan’s Naomi Osaka 6-1 7-6(7) and reach the last 16 of the French Open for the second time on Friday. A match between two of the biggest hitters on

the WTA Tour failed to really catch fire on a cool and half-empty Suzanne Lenglen Court with Keys helped on her way to the first set by a succession of wild errors from Osaka. Keys broke for a 3-1 lead in the second set and looked to be closing in on

a straightforward victory when 21st seed Osaka suddenly found her range and levelled the set. Osaka’s mini-revival looked to have fizzled out when she dropped serve with a double-fault at 4-4. Keys squandered a match point in the next game, however, and the 23-year-old U.S. Open runner-up looked increasingly tight as the set moved into a tiebreaker. Osaka led 4-1 but Keys dragged it back to 4-4 with a searing backhand pass but faced a set point at 5-6 and needed some superb defence to fend off the fired-up Japanese. Keys saved another set point at 6-7, this time with a booming first serve. She then wrong-footed Osaka to bring up a second match

point and was relieved as her opponent coughed up another double-fault to end the contest. She will face either fourth seed Elina Svitolina of Ukraine or Romanian Mihaela Buzarnescu next. Keys is one of three Americans to reach the third round with Sloane Stephens, who beat her in the Flushing Meadows final last year, and threetimes champion Serena Williams also in the hunt. Meanwhile, Japan’s Kei Nishikori made short work of home hope Gilles Simon as he cruised into the fourth round for the fifth time on Friday. The 28-year-old, seeded 19 in his first Grand Slam since Wimbledon last year after struggling with injury, saw off Simon 6-3, 6-1, 6-3.

I am innocent; will challenge suspension: Sanjita New Delhi, Jun 1 (PTI): Indian weightlifter Sanjita Chanu Friday said she will challenge the provisional suspension imposed on her for allegedly failing a dope test, insisting that she is innocent. “I am innocent, I have not taken any banned substance. I will challenge this with the help of the national federation,” Sanjita told PTI. Sanjita, who had won a gold in the women’s 53kg category in the recent Gold Coast CWG, was suspended by the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) tested positive for testosterone. The sample was taken during an out-of-competition test prior to the World Championship in Anaheim (US) in November last year.

She, however, got the backing of the Indian Weightlifting Federation (IWLF) general secretary Sahdev Yadav, who said he was confident of the Manipuri’s innocence. “We don’t understand why the dope result took so long. After the sample was taken, she competed in the World Championship in November last and then she won a gold in the Gold Coast CWG in April. We will fight it out why this is happening,” he said. “In any case, we have written that we would go for the ‘B’ sample test. After we got the results we will hire a top lawyer to present our case at the hearing (at the international federation). I am sure Sanjita has not taken any banned drugs. I am confident we will prove her innocence,”

Sanjita Chanu

he added. Yadav also said that there was no danger of India losing the gold medal won by Sanjita in the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games in April. She lifted a total of 192kg to win that gold in 53kg category. She had also won a gold in the 48kg category in the 2014 CWG in Glasgow. If Sanjita’s ‘B’ sample also tests positive, she could be handed a four-year ban

from the sport. Recently, the International Weightlifting Federation decided to punish offending countries by limiting their quotas for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics after the IOC asked them to clean the tainted sport. It was decided that countries like Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Belarus will be given only two places each at Tokyo 2020. The new

rules state that any nation with 20 or more doping violations from 2008 to 2020 will have just one man and one woman at the Games. Countries with 10-19 doping violations over that same period will be limited to two men and two women in Tokyo. At least nine more countries, including Bulgaria, Iran and India fall into that category. This decision to limit Olympic quotas, however, will not have much impact on India as the country has not been sending more than two weightlifters each in men and women’s sections in the Olympics during the past few editions. Before Sanjita’s case, 12 Indian weightlifters had returned positive in tests conducted by the international federation since 2008.
