No plans to withdraw, amend AFSPA: Govt

NEW DELHI, MAR 20 (PTI): Central government has no plans to withdraw or amend “the Armed Forces (Jammu & Kashmir) Special Powers Act, 1990”, which gives the security forces immunity and special rights in carrying out operations in disturbed areas, Union minister Hansraj Gangaram Ahir said Tuesday.

39 kidnapped Indians dead: Govt Row erupts over govt’s ‘insensitivity’ while breaking news NEW DELHI, MAR 20 (AGENCIES): The 39 Indians abducted in Iraq in 2014 were killed by Islamic State (IS) terrorists and buried in a mass grave, the government told Parliament Tuesday, setting off a row with the opposition, which accused it of being insensitive for not informing the victims’ families first. As many as 40 Indians were abducted by terrorist organisation ISIS in June 2014 from Mosul in Iraq but one of them escaped by posing as a Muslim from Bangladesh, Swaraj told the Rajya Sabha. She said the mortal remains, which were exhumed from a mass grave in Badush, will be brought back to India on a special plane and handed over to their relatives. While it was not immediately known exactly when these 39 Indians were killed, their bodies were recovered from Badush - a village

northwest of Mosul, and their identities established through DNA testing, she said. Of the 40 Indians, Harjit Masih from Punjab’s Gurdaspur had managed to escape and claimed to have witnessed the massacre of the others. The government had rejected his claim and stuck to its stand even today. “His was a cock-and-bull story,” Swaraj said. Addressing a press conference later, Swaraj did not give a direct reply to a volley of questions on when the Indians were killed, saying the queries were irrelevant as the bodies could have been recovered only after Mosul was liberated from the ISIS. Mosul was freed from ISIS in June last year. I m m e d i a t e ly a f t e r

Swaraj’s statement today, opposition parties, including the Congress and CPI (M) slammed the government. Opposition leaders have blamed the MEA for keeping the families hopeful for all these years. Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said that Swaraj has been misleading the Parliament and the families of the victims. Congress accused the NDA government of being “insensitive” towards the families of 39 Indians killed in Iraq and giving them “false hopes”, and charged External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj with “playing politics” on the matter. The party also demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Swaraj

Dr. Temsu Changkiri passes away

Late Dr. Temsu Changkiri

DIMAPUR, MAR 20 (NPN): Renowned surgeon of yesteryears and most respected and popular pioneer practitioner of Dimapur, Dr. Temsu Changkiri passed away on March 20 at 7 a.m. at Eden Hospital Dimapur where he was rushed the night before after a cardiac arrest. He was 86 and leaves behind his wife, three children and six grandchildren. The body of late Temsu was buried at Naga Cemetery after the funeral service at the family home at Fellowship Colony where several hundreds gathered to pay their homage.

Dr. Temsu was a doctor with a difference as he treated every patient with his characteristic benevolence and never accepted fees from the poor and needy patients. Born on June 25, 1932 at Changki village, Dr. Temsu, who was from a humble background pursued study and after middle school, went to Kohima where his uncle helped him pursue higher studies. After Intermediate Science at Cotton College Gauhati, he graduated MBBS from Assam Medical College Dibrugarh then worked in Jorhat Mission Hospital. He completed his Masters in Surgery from AIIMS in 1970. He later set up Fellowship Nursing Home in 1978, which became the first nursing home in Nagaland. He had also served as the President of the Indian Medical Association (Nagaland State Branch), and chairman

of Prodigal’s Home, one of the first rehabilitation centres for drug addicts in Dimapur. Condolences: Nagaland chief minister, Neiphiu Rio has expressed grief at the sudden demise of Dr. Temsu Changkiri, who has been considered as one of the pioneers in the medical profession in the state. In his condolence message to Mrs. Luithukla & family, Rio described late Dr. Temsu as kind-hearted man, who always had concern for people in distress and gave free services and medication to the under-privileged sections of society. In his demise, Rio said “we have lost a great philanthropist and an outstanding surgeon whose demise will be greatly felt in the days to come”. Further, Rio and his family expressed condolences to the bereaved family and prayed that the departed soul rest in peace.

apologize to the families of the victims, and grant compensation of Rs 1 crore each. Swaraj was quick to hit back, accusing Congress of playing “cheap politics” and asserted that she did not keep anyone in the dark or gave “false hopes”. Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah, in a series of tweets, said that using Parliament as an excuse for the families of 39 dead Indians having to learn of their heartbreaking loss from TV channels is unpardonable. He also said that someone from the ministry should have spoken to each of the 39 families before making the news public. On criticism by opposition leaders and some family members of those killed that they got to know about death of their loved ones through television, Swaraj said she followed parliamentary procedures. “It was my duty to first inform the House about (it),” Swaraj said. For the distraught families of those killed, all hopes of seeing them alive one day came crashing down.

Framework to check illegal mining in states

NEW DELHI, MAR 20 (IANS): Union Minister of Mines Narendra Singh Tomar Tuesday launched a “sand mining framework” here to help states act against illegal mining, an official said. “The suggestions in the framework will provide a roadmap to the states helping them frame their policies and act as a check on illegal mining of sand,” said an official statement.

APPOINTMENT OF ADVISERS 2 Nagas receive Padma awards

Rio to take call after adv. general’s return

Correspondent

KOHIMA, MAR 20 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister, Neiphiu Rio and his cabinet have decided to await the return of State’s advocate general from New Delhi before taking a call on the issue of appointment of advisers. The advocate general is expected to return on Wednesday. Highly placed sources informed Nagaland Post that the cabinet meeting held on Monday could not come to any conclusion on the appointment of advisors owing to the July 26, 2017 Supreme Court order. It may be mentioned that the Supreme Court had on July 26, 2017 struck down the Assam Parliamentary Secretaries (Appointment, Salaries, Allowances and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2004, noting that Article 194 of the Constitution “does not expressly authorise the state legislature to create offices such as the one in question”. The issue thus continues to hang fire even after 13 days since the People’s

Democratic Alliance (PDA) government was sworn. Sources said an alternative could be worked out by way of appointing advisers sans portfolio or executive powers. However, it is feared that such a move could annoy other MLAs in the ruling coalition and hence the chief minister is unlikely to take such a decision. Sources further explained that appointing parliamentary secretaries or advisors could also invite the wrath of the apex court and the new chief minister was not keen for such an eventuality. Further, any wrong move would only provide an opportunity to opposition, which is keenly observing the development, to pounce on the PDA government on the issue. Meanwhile, NPF has declared that it was all set to play the role of a strong constructive opposition. The NPF has 26 MLAs after the result of one seat was overturned in favour of NDPP. NPF sources said the issue will be taken for review by the court.

MHA to give more teeth to local cops in NE states 5 Naga minors rescued from B’luru NEW DELHI, MAR 20 (AGENCIES): With BJP’s “unstoppable surge” in the North Eastern (NE) states and development becoming the core agenda in the region, top government sources said the ministry of home affairs is up with a plan stressing on “local policing as road to development in these states”. According to India Today report, the NDA government in New Delhi is preparing a blueprint to realise the “poorna vikas (complete development)” goal of the saffron party in the region, they confirmed. “Development can only happen in peace and that can be ensured only by the local police taking a proactive role the development growth engines, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi envisages for the region, rests on local states’ police taking the mantle of handling local law and order and ensuring development activities,” says a senior MHA source, requesting anonymity. Elaborating the MHA’s thrust, the source told Mail To-

day: “MHA is seriously pushing the idea that the local police must be at the forefront of handling local crime and state law and order issues. The reason to do so is from the fact that northeast in the last three years, especially in 2017, has seen the minimum violent incidents and sharpest dip in insurgency time has come to leverage this growing peace and suitable environs for development, including infrastructure building in the region, by giving the local police the role it stands for.” This move is seriously being discussed and there is a concerted effort to reach out to the local police in northeast states with a clear plan to strength their own capacity to handle crime and criminals, upgrade their armoury, modernise local police infrastructure as many districts even lack adequate polices stations. “The MHA is also ready to create a separate central fund for security related provisions and even for constructing the requisite police infrastructure and to

get their forces trained to handle the local crime situation. We will also give them training with weapons and intelligence gathering,” says the MHA source. Admitting the fact that a holistic development faces a hurdle under the cover of para-military forces standing in every corner, the source added: “Local crime must be handled and citizens must engage with the local police for their grievances. Not only it infuses a sense of normalcy, the local police also get engaged in vital intelligence gathering to aid security forces. It gets further teeth to handle criminals and miscreants to ensure ‘business as usual’, eventually leading to big infrastructure projects, roads and connectivity networks and crime-free inter region passage to boost tourism.” The region needs hospitals and hospitality sector both working in full swing and that can happen only if the local police are capable of handling those thwarting their expansion and utility, the government source

said, adding, “The MHA feels that the para-military and other special forces deployed in the region can be engaged exclusively in intelligence gathering against terror modules, patrolling the borders and for special operations other than local crime and maintaining law and order in north-eastern states.” The Centre’s idea to engage the local police is encouraged by its recent experiences in Manipur and Assam. “In Manipur, the abductions have come down drastically since we started engaging the local police to handle it. We have been telling this to the previous chief minister, but it didn’t work out as now. In Assam too, the violent incidents have come down and we’re now laying our focus on other states like Arunachal, Mizoram and Nagaland to tackle crimes of cross-border infiltration as the para-forces can check on the borders, but those who still sneak in can only be identified and caught with local intelligence gathered by state cops.”

Dimapur, Mar 20 (NPN): Naga Students’ Union Bangalore (NSUB) and Eastern Naga Students’ Union Bangalore (ENSUB) have helped rescue five Naga minors who had fled their homes in Nagaland and reached Bengaluru. According to a joint statement issued by both the students’ bodies, through NSUB general secretary, Bendangkala Kichu, the five minors– all students of Class IX– had ran away from homes without informing their parents and reached Bengaluru on March 7 in search of jobs. They apparently decided to flee as they did not like school life. Kichu stated that the minors managed to book train tickets with the money they had allegedly received during the recentlyconcluded election and those stolen from their parents. They reached Bengaluru on March 7, but not before losing all their money and mobile phones on the way. They were then left stranded at Bangalore railway station. It was an auto driver who

came to their rescue and asked what they were doing at the railway station. To this, the minor boys replied that they were look for a Job in the city. The auto driver then recommended them jobs at a restaurant, where they worked for a day and left as they did not like the work, Kichu added. The minor boys then joined another restaurant– New Shanthi Sagar – and worked there before NSUB and ENSUB found them. On the other hand, their parents contacted NSUB and ENSUB on March 13, after which both the organisations chipped in to help and finally managed to rescue them and provided shelter until the parents reached Bengaluru on March 16. All of them were safe and reached Nagaland, the release added. Meanwhile, NSUB ad ENSUB asserted that no minors would be allowed to work in Bengaluru as it was illegal and would be sent back home.

The union warned such person(s) to desist from such activities which were detrimental to the Naga society. MUK: Merhuma Union Khonoma

India should have annexed Bangladesh: Assam BJP MLA

GUWAHATI, Mar 20 (Agencies): BJP legislator from Hojai Shiladitya Dev on Monday courted controversy yet again, calling the creation of Bangladesh a “great mistake” because of which Assam has been facing “Muslim influx” for decades and suggesting that India should have annexed the country after the liberation war, a TNN reports stated. “Even as the erstwhile East Pakistan was liberated, a mistake committed by (then Prime Minister) Indira Gandhi and the then Congress government was not merging the newly-created Bangladesh with India. In fact, creation of Bangladesh was itself a great mistake. But that mistake could have been offset had Bangladesh been made a part of India,” Dev told a local news channel in Nagaon on Monday. When contacted by ToI, Dev stood by his statements. Attributing the “change” in the state’s demographic profile to the “migration” of Muslims from the neighbouring country, Dev said such a situation would not have arisen had Bangladesh never been created.

Kerala teacher’s sexist remarks trigger ‘watermelon’ protest

T hi r u v a n a n thapuram, MAR 20 (AGENCIES): A remark by a professor of a teachers’ training college in Kerala’s Kozhikode that Muslim girls were not wearing the hijab properly and deliberately exposing their chests like “sliced watermelon” has triggered widespread protests across the state by students with some women posting nude photographs. Many student organisations protested outside Farook Training College, where Jouhar Munavvir T teaches, seeking action against him. They said they will send slices of watermelons to the teacher just like the ‘Pink Chaddi’ campaign in response to the attack on women in a pub in Mangaluru in 2009 by activists of rightwing fringe group Sri Ram Sene. “We will flood him with watermelons,” student

activist P Ajitha said. A few women students supporting the teacher also took out a rally on the campus whipping up tension in the college. Students in other colleges also protested carrying sliced watermelons and sought strict action against Munavvir. Some women even took to social media to post bare-breasted photos, which were removed by Facebook. Television channel

NDTV reported that 25year-old Arathy SA was among those, who posted a nude picture, and that and her husband too shared the photo. “I am upset with hypersexualisation of breasts by people. Whether it be professors in college or social media users seeing a model breastfeed and pose for a magazine. So I and my husband posted pictures of me nude,” Arathy was quoted as saying by the news channel.

Comrades in power game

T

here were no surprises in Russia as Vladimir Putin coasted to an easy fourth term as President, giving him charge of the Kremlin for another six years while the country is undergoing momentous changes. With his re-election, Vladimir Putin took one step closer to becoming Russian leader for life. In the wake of the polling on March 18,2018 , in which the government said Putin won 77 percent of the vote with 68 percent turnout, that itself has made the result very significant. The total number of ballots cast on Sunday for Putin, who has spent 18 years as Russia’s most powerful politician, exceeded 56.2m. That was a record total, even discounting the nearly 1m votes he gained as a result of the 2014 annexation of Crimea. While the government and powerful pro-Putin people have hailed the victory as a mandate for something greater than that: leader of the Russian people, rising above politics at a time when the country’s very existence is threatened by an aggressive West. The muted opposition activists however highlighted a number of cases of vote rigging and statistical anomalies, including millions of votes cast in polling places that recorded exactly 85%, 90% and 95% turnout. The respected Russian business daily Vedomosti also noted the appearance of nearly 1.5 million votes overnight, equivalent to 2% of the vote. On paper, Putin’s victory gave him another new six-year term as president. Putin runs an authoritarian regime in Moscow and has successfully suppressed all those who have criticised him. It may be coincidental but according to news reports, many vociferous critics of Putin have been killed under mysterious circumstances. Even a rival candidate was barred from contesting when a Russian court effectively derailed a presidential run by Aleksei A. Navalny — the only opposition candidate with a broad, enthusiastic popular following — by reviving a four-year-old criminal conviction. Russian law bars anyone with a criminal conviction from seeking elected office. Navalny was the driving force behind large street protests in 2011, 2012 and 2013 that unnerved Mr. Putin. He has also repeatedly embarrassed senior officials by accusing them of corruption, exposing their lavish mansions and other perquisites that seem beyond the reach of a public servant earning a modest government salary. The decision by the district court was widely viewed as a move by President Vladimir V. Putin to eliminate his only viable rival for the March 18, 2018 election. In all of his 18 years at the helm, Putin was the only active and visible politician in power and he exploited the situation to the hilt. His control over all media in Russia including social groups dominated by his supporters ensured that Russians gradually caved in so that Putin became popular. What Putin’s unchallenged win means to the world differs from place to place. For the Americans and Europeans, Putin is an emerging dictator who believes in democracy which he fixes in his favour. For China, Syria and Iran Putin is a welcome ally who is valuable in their opposition against the USA. Among the changes being rung by Putin is an orientation of Russia’s interest vectors towards Asia. India will certainly hope that Putin will revive Indo-Russian economic ties especially in oil and gas partnerships. Putin is headed towards following the lead of Chinese President Xi Jinping, who recently abolished presidential term limits in his country to become legible as president for life.

Post-mortem

The governance of Nagaland ?

I

t was surprised to find Botswana of Africa among the top best-governed Countries of the world like Denmark, Canada, New Zealand, Japan and Singapore according to a BBC Report my son emailed to me. Canada ranked a higher than America because of less violence and New Zealand a little higher than Australia because of political stability. Will Nagaland be a new well-Governed State? This question needs deep thinking in the governed as well as in the governor. The new Coalition Government of Nagaland was recently caesarian delivered. The BJP, though not the biggest partner of the coalition group demanded LION SHARE of the Cabinet and Ministerial Posts, that too of choice Departments including rarely practiced post of Deputy Chief Minister. In addition, they wanted the Raja Sabha and the Lok Sabha Seats. Nagaland felt a little embarrassed at the lack of democratic decency in the BJP. The Lion is a social Animal that goes by family-groups with a family of more or less number of reproductive female Lions and young ones from the bloodline of the dominant Lion. The dominant Lion does not tolerate any other males to share his harem of lionesses in the family. The odd thing in the behavior of the dominant Lion is that it does not normally do the hunting; the female Lions do most of the hunting. Nevertheless, whenever the female lions kill an animal, the dominant lion would come and eat first. It is only after he had eaten his full that he retires to the shed of a tree to rest and only then the other Lions and the Cubs feed on the kill. In the post-election post sharing in the Government, the BJP behaved like the king of the Beasts. In Naga tradition of sharing a kill, whoever participated in the group hunt gets a traditional piece of the Meat; even

the hunting dogs get their traditional share a piece of the meat. The Naga culture of sharing a common commodity of the society is different from that the dominant Caste in having higher privileges in the Community in India. It was very significantly proper that he a member of the NDPP Mr. Pohwang Konyak in the internal Meeting of the Party has forthrightly stated the feeling in Naga Culture the BJP is demanding too much. Barbaric and primitive they may be, the Naga traditional core-principle Polity shares common Property in Equality among the Members. There is a saying among the Naga that teaches a person that whenever a person divides something common among the members, he/she sees to it that his or her own share should seems appear less than that of the others to be actually equal for all. It is shame, uncalled-for and even an anathema for a person to demand more privileges or shares over others of a common property. It is dishonorable for a person to do such. All Tribes of Nagaland big or small, are equal in social polity and should equally share in the governance of their State. It is perfectly proper for a non-Naga Sportsperson-citizen of Nagaland to represent the State in sport; in fact, we are happy there are instances when a Non-Naga won laurels for Nagaland State in Sports and other non-political activities. However, on matters of political representation, it is improper even for a Naga of one Tribe to represent another Tribe or Village. It was an inconsiderate show of favor for the Konyaks of Tobu area sometime ago offering their Seat in the Assembly to an Angami. Many Angamis were acutely apprehensive at the move and were expecting their concerned member would decline with thank the offer Such offer or practice

Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing…? -Genesis 18:17 The Delights of His Friendship.Genesis 18 brings out the delight of true friendship with God, as compared with simply feeling His presence occasionally in prayer. This friendship means being so intimately in touch with God that you never even need to ask Him to show you His will. It is evidence of a level of intimacy which confirms that you are nearing the final stage of your discipline in the life of faith. When you have a right-standing relationship with God, you have a life of freedom, liberty, and delight; you are God’s will. And all of your commonsense decisions are actually His will for you, unless you sense a feeling of restraint brought on by a check in your spirit. You are free to make decisions in the light of a perfect and delightful friendship with God, knowing that if your decisions are wrong He will lovingly produce that sense of restraint. Once he does, you must stop immediately. The Difficulties of His Friendship. Why did Abraham stop praying when he did? He stopped because he still was lacking the level of intimacy in his relationship with God, which would enable him boldly to continue on with the Lord in prayer until his desire was granted. Whenever we stop short of our true desire in prayer and say, “Well, I don’t know, maybe this is not God’s will,” then we still have another level to go. It shows that we are not as intimately acquainted with God as Jesus was, and as Jesus would have us to be— “…that they may be one just as We are one…” (John 17:22). Think of the last thing you prayed about— were you devoted to your desire or to God? Was your determination to get some gift of the Spirit for yourself or to get to God? “For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him” (Matthew 6:8). The reason for asking is so you may get to know God better. “Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart” (Psalm 37:4). We should keep praying to get a perfect understanding of God Himself.

The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal. ~ Aristotle

in Nagaland parlance is like plucking unripe fruits for consumption. The governance of Nagaland does not belong to one Party alone; it belongs to the whole of Nagaland. At least one person from each tribe should be present in the governance of the State. This is not French Democracy nor the democracy of the Authors of the Magna Charta. This is the principle Polity of the wild barbaric headhunting Naga the creators of the Magna Charta has described in the early 19th Century as “the Purest Form of Democracy”. Nagaland the oldest State in the Northeast, with beautiful geography and sylvan environment, salubrious climate, affable if gullible Christian population with easy humor, a casteless society highly emphasizing equality, encouraging literacy percentage and a special constitutional provision for its governance not available to other States of India, the State should have been one of the nicest place in the country, except for its ill-governance. Small provincial States like Nagaland, Manipur, Tripura, Sikhim in Alliance with very big, powerful, rich neighboring Nations not very democratic in nature like China, Burma or India find it rarely easy to manage themselves and avoid interfered governance in the State. The Chief Minister appears to have acquired a heavy millstone of Political Alliance on his neck now finds it both difficult to carry and too early to ditch! For small States like Nagaland, it is more politically sagacious to remain in safe distance of big powerful State than in uncomfortable Alliance with it. Can Nagaland make a first Step in its long journey of a thousand Li to good-governance like the one Botswana of Africa did with their indigenous materials? Thepfulhouvi Solo. IFS Retd (RR-68).

Dangerous implications of a wrong Indo-Naga settlement

T

he Indo Naga issue is not just a small internal Indian home affair which can be easily solved by having piece meal settlements with the various Naga National outfits. The issue is in fact, a far bigger issue that can have serious repercussions all across the north east borders of India, Burma and even Indian states like Kashmir, Punjab and southern India. On the part of the Nagas, if a solution is imposed on them without first showing the details and also without addressing the real geo-political facts, the so called solution can explode on India’s face itself. An imposed solution can also lead to an even greater conflict in the whole South Asian region. The Indo Naga-Burma issue, in fact, has even international implications regarding peaceful co-existence between nations and international world peace. This is because the Indo-NagaBurmese issue is not over some small boundary disputes between Nagaland, India and Burma involving only a few kilometres of land. Far from it, the issue is how over 100,000 sq km of Naga lands can simply disappear into India and Burma after 1947. It also is a question of whether a Mongolian nation called the Nagas can suddenly become Indians and Burmese after 1947. As for the fact that the Nagas had really been living in their ancestral lands for thousands of years prior to 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru, the historian and first Prime Minister of India had stated the facts very clearly when in 1946, he had stated the following words: “The tribal areas are defined as being those long frontiers of India which are neither part of India nor Burma, nor of Indian states nor of any foreign powers.” The Indo-Naga-Burmese issue is therefore, an issue of how these long frontiers of India which are neither Indian nor Burmese territories, can just simply disappear into India and Burma after 1947. Here, the political and legal question is whether, in the emergence of modern nation states in the mid 20th century,

bigger nations can just swallow up smaller nations and make their own geographical areas bigger with the active assistance of departing colonial powers? The corollary issue is also one of whether such a drastic reshuffling and rewriting of historical facts can be done with the tacit consent of a world body like the UN. Surely, if such a travesty of international law and justice can be tolerated by the UN, then the hope of regional, as well as international peace must disappear from the very face of the planet earth. The issue in its true essence have universal anthropological, historical, political and legal implications. This protracted seventy year conflict has left a lot of blood spilled all over the Naga territories in Nagaland, Manipur, Assam, and Arunachal Pradesh on the Indian side and also the Naga territories in the western sector of Burma. Because of all these facts, the conflict can only be resolved at an international level or at least at a four nation level of India, Burma, Britain and the Federal Government of Nagaland. A wrong handling of the issue by India alone can, instead of solving the problem, multiply the conflict tenfold. This is because smaller nations like the Manipur kingdom and many other Princely states in India were, against their will, forcefully merged into the Indian union of 1947. As for the Burmese side; Kachins, Karens, Shans, Was etc also never agreed to be a part of the Burma nation state that was created by the British and the Anti Fascist People’s League of Burma. India must remember that the creation of the grand Indian, Pakistan and Burmese nation states with the collaboration of the departing British colonizers had left a trail of bloodshed in India, Pakistan (Bangladesh) and Burma for the past seven decades.

Speeches on 62nd anniversary of Naga Republic Day Kiumukam Yimchunger, President, NNC/GDRN (Non Accord)

DailyDevotion Friendship with God

Nagaland Post, Dimapur WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 2018

Fellow Nagas, On this auspicious occasion of 62nd Anniversary of our Naga Republic Day. I greet each and every one of you in the name of our Jehovah in whom we trust. First of all I pay homage and salute to the pioneers and martyrs who had given their everything to the just cause of the Nagas. On this historic day our leaders who are no more with us today bravely and wisely declared our Naga Nation as a Republic when many of us were not even born then they sacrificed and fought for the Nagas and sown the seed of Nationalism. The Nagas faced many inexpressible hardships in the hands of occupational forces and had fought with many whims and tactics of the adversaries, but the Nagas never succumbed to it even today. The battle for the right of the Nagas will go on till we achieve what is denied to us for long by the then British crown and now by the Indian Government. Fellow Nagas, We have faced many events and past Nagas leaders tried many times to solve our political problem even through peaceful dialogue which is gone into deaf ears of our adversaries, but now as the trends are changing for the Nagas for the better days and through the everlasting grace of our Jehovah our Naga leaders of today for the love the Naga bondage join hands together to voice out our right under the banner of

Naga National Political Groups through the selfless initiative of civil societies especially the Nagaland Tribes Council the apex Naga society, for which the people of Nagaland share our indebyedness. Fellow Nagas On this auspicious day, I appeal to all Nagas to praise our Jehovah through whom we are able to pursue our cause through peaceful dialogue and paving the way for the negotiation, and to stand together as we all NNPGs are reconciled in response to the desires of the people of Nagaland to join hands together for the interest of the Nagas forgetting and forgiving all past errs and confrontations. Now as stated above, the working committee is invited by the Government of India for peaceful negotiation to solve the Naga Political problem. We hope that good sense will prevail upon the Indians leaders and come to understanding to solve the long protracted political problem of the Nagas as they recognised the distinct Naga identity, political and historical rights to determine our future. Fellow Nagas, I also appeal to all believers to pray without leadership at this crucial juncture specially for the working committee of the NNPGs lead by Hon’ble Convenor and Co-Convenors and all civil society organisations and Tribal Hohos leaders to strengthen our journey towards solution. May god Bless You All

Col.(Rtd.) Isak Sumi, Dy.Kilonser, MIP, GPRN. On this propitious event, the 39th Republic Day, we give all the glory to our Almighty God the sustainer for the decades of unceasing providence even as we endure the perils and continue our national sojourn amid many adversities. The NSCN/GPRN under the solemn leadership of Lt.Gen (Rtd).Khango Konyak once again convey heartfelt greetings to every beloved Naga countrymen and women across the length and breadth. When we reminisce the past several decades of the glorious struggle for freedom, we are but truly humbled by the spontaneity of the devotion, sacrifices and the true spirit of nationalism which our fore-bearers so daringly demonstrated and which alone did nurture the very basis of the “noble cause” we pursue hitherto. The long history of the struggle soaked in the blood of the thousands of sons and daughters of the soil and the legacy wrapped in utter sufferings, anguish and tears implore us to continue the battle for restoration of our God gifted birthright without doubt, fear or disbelief of any form. In the course of our struggle thousands of precious lives have been martyred yet, to the virtuous every sacrifice is worth giving, no trial is beyond endurance and no challenges too formidable to overcome, however, many cowards and traitors have also been led astray owing to consistent enemy’s propagandas and treasonous inclinations. Numerous anti-national and sub-national elements have also been fostered among the Nagas at various stages to wreck our liberation movement from within and without but despite the persisting efforts to sabotage the sacred cause, the movement continues to grow from strength

to strength and NSCN/GPRN is privileged to be of service to the Nagas without remorse or apprehension at this challenging times as it had been in the past too. The NSCN/GPRN has never been averse to peace or peaceful approach of resolving the issue, it is however quite vigilant of the ever diabolical maneuver of India to undermine the Naga cause on the pretext of peace as had been amply and bitterly experienced in the past. Peace can be possible only when all the conflicting parties genuinely aspires for unlike the ever conspiring and double-standard India who uses peace to further their colonizing agendas over the Nagas and other struggling ethnic nationalities of Wesea. The NSCN/GPRN is fully committed to uphold the inherent rights of the Nagas and is prepared for any eventuality, shall never waver or be constrained by any forces inimical to the dreams and aspirations of the Naga people. We also urge every fraternal organizations of Wesea struggling under the aegis of NSCN/GPRN

to promote and spread the spirit of brotherhood and to strengthen the bond of love and unity through which the region can be liberated from alien subjection. The NSCN leadership also makes an appeal to educated and younger generation Nagas to share the pride of our free glorious past and partake in the sacred mission to liberate our motherland in any manner deemed fit. Let us not be swayed away by the enemy’s schemes of luxuries and material comforts or be dismayed at the opportunistic exploits of numerous Naga political groups fully bent on self-aggrandizement at the cost of Naga issue and using peace as their convenient excuse, but none is above the nation and everyone will in the end be answerable to the people and God. The NSCN also shares solidarity with many innocent Naga civilians and public servants who are being mercilessly persecuted by NIA and other Indian Forces for being a Naga, it is our firm belief that God in his own time and manner shall deliver our people and the tyrants shall face judgment too.

Reader’s Post

Be a strong voice for the people Sir,

With the formation of the new ministry, people are just waiting quietly to see how the state would progress. In this tenure, there is a worthy opponent which I am sure will make its presence felt in the assembly. Let us not have a repeat of the previous term wherein the entire Congress walked over to the opposition bench, leaving the assembly without a strong voice for its people. Governments come and go but if good governance is shown during the five-year tenure, the state will not face difficulties of the basic amenities like good roads, power supply and water which are the rights of the citizens.

SC slams wrongful use of SC/ST Atrocities Act

New Delhi, Mar 20 (AGENCIES): The antiatrocities law which protects Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes from casteist slurs and discrimination has become an instrument for “blackmail” of innocent citizens and public servants, the Supreme Court observed in a judgment on Tuesday. The last three decades have seen complainants – who belong to the marginalised sections of the society — use the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act of 1989 to exact “vengeance” and satisfy vested interests, a Supreme Court Bench

of Justices A.K. Goel and U.U. Lalit said in their 89page judgment. “Innocent citizens are termed as accused, which is not intended by the legislature. The legislature never intended to use the Atrocities Act as an instrument to blackmail or to wreak personal vengeance,” the SC observed. Instead of blurring caste lines, the Act has been misused to file false complaints to promote caste hatred, the apex court said. The current working of Atrocities Act may even “perpetuate casteism” if not brought in line and the court needs to intervene to

NSUB president Nuthipru Nienu urged Naga students not to be fooled by the glamour of a city life as it was filled with hardships, especially if they did not have the right skills and qualifications. “Your future depends on your foundation.

schools were shut”. The Centre, however, spent Rs 36 lakh to buy air purifiers for Modi’s offices and at least six government departments between 2014 and 2017, according to government data reviewed by Reuters. Besides Modi’s offices inside Parliament house, the agencies included federal economic planning think tank NITI Aayog and the ministries of health, agriculture, tourism, home affairs and foreign affairs. “This initiative is like giving gumboots to city officials when the drainage system collapses and the city is covered in muck,” said Oommen C. Kurian, a health researcher at the New Delhi-based think tank Observer Research Foundation. “This is just not the response we are looking for.” A government spokesman directed questions on the subject to the federal environment ministry, which did not respond to a request for comment.

“I cannot speak in the din. If there is order for some time I can present the statement in the Lok Sabha,” she said after making a statement on the issue in the Rajya Sabha earlier. Speaker Mahajan warned the opposition against politicising such issues. Mahajan then went ahead to move the no-confidence motion, submitted by Thota Narasimham of the Telugu Desam party and Y.V. Subba Reddy of YSR Congress. She said that it could only be taken up if there was order in the House and asked the members go return to their seats. “You are not sensitive to the people of India... What kind of politics is this? Even for no confidence motion you need to go back to your seats,” Mahajan said. As the protests continued, the Speaker adjourned the House for the day. Several Opposition parties, including the Congress, Trinamool Congress, Nationalist Congress Party, Samajwadi Party, the All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen (AIMIM), Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Left parties have expressed their support to the no-confidence notices.

SC rejects PIL as CBI begins 2 held on charges of murder of govt official probe in SSC paper leak case NEW DELHI, MAR 20 (AGENCIES): The Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed a PIL seeking a CBI probe into the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) paper leakage case after the Centre informed it that the probe agency has already started investigating it. The paper of an examination of the SSC, a government body which conducts examinations to recruit staff at multiple levels in various ministries and departments, was allegedly leaked, leading to protests from job seekers. “It has been stated on behalf of respondent, Central Bureau of Investigation that CBI has registered Preliminary Enquiry on March 8, 2018 against unknown officers/officials of SSC, Government of India and other unknown persons for misconduct. “From the aforesaid, it is clear that CBI is undertaking the investigation and will conclude the same in accordance with law. Therefore, no order on this petition is

required at this stage. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed,” a bench comprising Justices R K Agrawal and A M Sapre said. The top court on March 12 had sought a response from the Centre on the plea without issuing any notice. The petition, filed by advocate M L Sharma, had sought an investigation into the allegations of leakage of questions of the Combined Graduate Level (Tier-II) Examination 2018 held from February 17 to 21. Amid the protests over alleged paper leak, the SSC had recently recommended a CBI probe into it. Job aspirants have been protesting since February 27, seeking a CBI investigation into the alleged paper leak. SSC CGL has a fourtier examination system and tier I and tier II are ‘Computer Based Examination’, while in tier III and IV, job applicants take up a descriptive paper and a computer proficiency test or skill test.

winter months, the capital’s schools are often forced to shut. Last year, all schools in the city were closed for five days. A body that manages more than 45 government schools in the capital said it had made no purchases of air purifiers and had no plans to do so. “Offices are generally air conditioned, so air purifiers will function. Our schools aren’t air conditioned, windows are open, so air purifiers won’t make a difference,” said Santosh Kumar Mall, commissioner of the body, Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan. The World Health Organisation has recommended keeping windows closed when air pollution is high. It also says air conditioners should not be used if they draw air from the outside. Asked if any steps were taken to safeguard school students from Delhi’s dirty air, Mall told Reuters: “I don’t think so, when pollution increased a lot, our

T h e l owe r h o u s e, which has been witnessing a logjam since the second half of the Budget Session that began on March 5, saw its first adjournment for the day within minutes of meeting at 11 a.m. Protests continued when the House reassembled at 12 noon and papers were being laid on the table of the House. In the din, members from the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and the AIADMK raised slogans and waved placards near the Speaker’s podium. The TRS is demanding an increase in the reservation quota for jobs in Telangana, while AIADMK members are demanding setting up of a Cauvery Management Board. As Sushma Swaraj stood up to make her statement, members from the Congress, Samajwadi Party, Rashtriya Janata Dal, AIMIM and the CPI-Ma protested vocally. The minister said a press conference would be held by Iraqi officials but she wanted the nation to know about it through their own Minister.

NEW DELHI, MAR 20 (AGENCIES): As pollution choked Delhi in recent years, a total of 140 air purifiers were purchased for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s offices and at least six other government agencies, according to previously unpublished government data. The purchases came as Modi faced criticism for not taking effective steps to improve air quality in Delhi, one of the world’s most polluted cities. Delhi’s chief minister and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal called the city a “gas chamber” last year as levels of airborne PM 2.5, tiny particulate matter that can reach deep into the lungs, far exceeded levels classified as “hazardous.” A British medical journal, The Lancet, has estimated air pollution was responsible for almost 10 percent of the total disease burden in India in 2016. Each year, when pollution levels shoot up in the

Issuing a slew of guidelines to protect public servants and private employees from arbitrary arrests under the Atrocities Act, the Supreme Court directed that public servants can only be arrested with the written permission of their appointing authority. In the case of private employees, the Senior Superintendent of Police concerned should allow. Besides this precaution, a preliminary enquiry should be conducted before the FIR is registered to check whether the case falls within the parameters of the Atrocities Act and whether if it is frivolous or motivated.

NEW DELHI, MAR 20 (IANS): Lok Sabha was once again unable to take up a no confidence motion against the government with disruptions continuing to stall proceedings for the 12th day on Tuesday. The Rajya Sabha was also adjourned for the day due to the opposition’s protests but not before External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj made a statement on the missing Indians in Iraq. The 39 Indian citizens kidnapped in 2014 by ISIS in Iraq were killed, confirmed external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj today. The minister said in the Rajya Sabha that a deep penetration radar has confirmed the death of the hostages who had been taken from Mosul. Their mortal remains were exhumed and sent to Iraq’s capital Baghdad for DNA sample verification. In Lok Sabha, Opposition parties appeared united over a no confidence motion against the government, which was not taken up as members of AIADMK and Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) protested near the Speaker’s podium. Sushma Swaraj was stopped from making an identical state-

check the “false implication of innocent citizens on caste lines”. “The Act cannot be converted into a charter for exploitation or oppression by any unscrupulous person or by police for extraneous reasons against other citizens. Any harassment of an innocent citizen, irrespective of caste or religion, is against the guarantee of the Constitution. This court must enforce such a guarantee. Law should not result in caste hatred,” the Supreme Court held. The 1989 Act penalises casteist insults and even denies anticipatory bail to the suspected offenders. Hence, the law is used to rob a person of his personal liberty merely on the unilateral word of the complainant, the court said. Justice Goel wrote that anticipatory bail should be allowed if the accused is able to prima facie prove that the complaint against him is mala fide. The court referred to how public administration has been threatened by the abuse of this Act. Public servants find it difficult to give adverse remarks against employees for fear

JAMMU, MAR 20 (AGENCIES): The Lok Jan Shakti Party (LJP) on Tuesday advocated for a meaningful dialogue with Pakistan to end the violence in border areas, but said it was the prerogative of the Union government to decide when it wants to resume the talks. Sanjay Saraf, the national spokesperson of the LJP, a partner in the BJPled ruling coalition at the Centre, supported initiation of dialogue with Pakistan to restore peace in Kashmir valley. “Dialogue holds the key for resolution of all issues... When the solution lies in talks then why this bloodshed?” he said, but added “it is the choice of External Affairs Ministry.” He urged security forces and militants to hold a ceasefire “for at least six months” to allow the people in Kashmir to live in peace. “They too have the right to live,” he told reporters here. He said militants should understand that they can achieve nothing through violence. “Government of India should think seriously to carry forward the peace process in the valley,” he said, adding that the Centre should also start a dialogue with the people of Kashmir.

The company, which had last year failed in its attempt to merge business with Anil Ambani’s Reliance Communications, said that it could not reach consensus with respect to restructuring of its debt and funding after discussions with financial lenders. Officials of Axis Bank could not be reached for comments. Aircel has a debt of around of Rs 15,500 crore and has seen its subscriber base shrink to around 5.6 crore against 8 crore when it was going strong. The company said in the current circumstances, resolution process under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code is an “appropriate recourse”.

NEW DELHI, Mar 20 (Agencies): The communications ministry has found “serious breach of trust and contract” by Axis Bank in the Aircel bankruptcy issue and has asked mobile operators and the telecom department not to accept any bank guarantees issued by it. In an office memorandum issued on March 16, the ministry said that Axis Bank had failed to honour a bank guarantee issued by it on behalf of Aircel Group of companies. “ This is a serious breach of trust and contract with the Government of India. In view of this, you are hereby directed not to accept any new bank guarantee from Axis Bank, including renewals,” the memorandum — copied to telecom ministry officials, mobile operators, associations of telecom companies, and internet

Historically Saudi Arabia and Iran have been the largest importers from India, accounting for 40-45 per cent share. However, Saudi’s share has declined in recent years - it stood at 14 per cent so far in FY18. But this was largely absorbed by Iran, whose share has surged to 28 per cent. Iran had imposed a temporary ban on imports around August 2017 which was lifted in January 2018. While this development is likely to support the industry growth in the last quarter of the current fiscal, greater dependence on Iran as a major export destination could spell volatility. For the second year in a row, paddy prices have firmed up by 20-25 per cent in 2017 procurement season, largely due to 1015 per cent lower paddy sowing after a moderate monsoon; and improved demand for Basmati rice in international markets. This increase in paddy price is likely to provide a fillip to Basmati prices in FY19.

Mumbai, Mar 20 (PTI): The strong demand revival, especially from Iran, may help Basmati rice exports to close the year with a 20 per cent growth at Rs 26,000 crore. It is estimated that basmati exports may cross Rs 26,000 crore in FY18, clipping at 20 per cent over the past fiscal year and at Rs 28,000 crore in FY19, Icra said in a report Tuesday. The report however noted that export volume has largely remained stagnant, which though is in line with the past few years. Basmati export has witnessed strong revival in the current fiscal with 22 per cent growth in value in the first nine months, after having been on the downward trajectory between FY15 and FY17. “This buoyant export growth has been fuelled by a 23 per cent surge in average realisation of Rs 64,594 per tonne in the first nine months of FY18 as against Rs 53,985 per tonne a year ago.

China ready for ‘bloody battle’: Xi

BEIJING, MAR 20 (PTI): China will not cede a “single inch of land” and is ready to wage a “bloody battle” to take its due place in the world, a belligerent President Xi Jinping, now enjoying probably a life-long tenure, asserted today. In a 30-minute long nationalistic speech in China’s Parliament, Xi said “since modern times, rejuvenation of the great Chinese nation has become the biggest dream of our nation”. “The Chinese people and the Chinese nation have a shared conviction which is not a single inch of our land will be and can be ceded from China” Xi said, addressing the closing session of the NPC the first by a President in recent years. Though Xi made no mention of any territorial issues, the country has been involved in a number of disputes. Besides the border dispute with India, China claims rights over the disputed islands in East China Sea under the control of Japan and vast stretches of the South China Sea (SCS) where it is firmly asserting its control.

Chinese President Xi Jinping speaks at the closing session of the National People’s Congress (NPC) at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, China March 20, 2018.

Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan have counter claims over the South China Sea. Xi said China has all the capabilities to take its due place in the world. Every year, Chinese annual parliament season ends with a press conference by the Premier. This is the first-time a President addressed its valedictory session. Xi this month has altered the course of the history of China after the NPC besides re-electing him for a second five-year term also ratified a constitutional amendment scrapping the decades old two-term limit paving the way him to re-

main in power for life. He has emerged as the most powerful leader after Mao Zedong as he headed the ruling Communist Party of China, (CPC), the military and the Presidency. Seeking to allay fears about absolute powers enjoyed by him controlling all levers of power, Xi vowed to continue to serve as a servant of the people. “The Chinese people has been indomitable and persistent. We are resolved to fight the bloody battle against our enemies and on the basis of independence we are determined to recapture the relics,” he said. “We have strong capabilities of taking our due

place in the world. We have fought for that big dream for about 170 years. Today more than ever the Chinese people are close to that dream, ever more confident and capable of realising the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,” he said. “I am convinced once the 1.3 billion Chinese people carrying on such big dreams we will certainly translate into a reality,” he said amid thunderous applauds in a nationally televised speech. “We should safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country and achieve full unification of the motherland. This is the aspiration of all Chinese people. This is also in line with fundamental of the Chinese nation,” Xi said in an apparent reference to Taiwan which China claims as part of it. In his speech, Xi also delivered a stern message to the separatists. “Faced with this important question of our nation and history any action that separates the country is doomed to fail. These separatist actions will be met with the condemnation of the people and punishment of the history,” he said.

France’s ex-president Sarkozy held over Libya-funding probe

FILE -- France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy (R) and Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi attend a ceremony at the Elysee Palace in Paris, December 10, 2007.

PARIS, MAR 20 (AGENCIES): Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy was held in custody on Tuesday and questioned by magistrates investigating whether late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi helped finance his 2007 election campaign, an official in the French judiciary said. According to Reuters report, it is the second major judicial investigation to fall on the 63-year-old, who served as president from 2007-2012. He already faces trial on separate charges of illicit spending overruns during his failed re-election campaign in 2012. A lawyer

for Sarkozy could not immediately be reached for comment. The former president has dismissed the Libya allegations as “grotesque” and a “crude manipulation”. France opened an inquiry into the Libya case in 2013, after reports by French website Mediapart based on claims by a Franco-Lebanese businessman, Ziad Takieddine, who said he had transferred 5 million euros ($6 million) from Gaddafi’s former intelligence chief Abdullah Senussi to Sarkozy’s campaign director. Months after he took office in 2007, the French leader came in for criticism

for hosting a state visit by Gaddafi during which the Libyan leader pitched his trademark Bedouin-style tent next to the Elysee Palace. Gaddafi’s first visit to a Western leader in decades, which was accompanied by the signing of several business deals, came after Sarkozy helped get five Bulgarian nurses accused of infecting children with HIV released from jail in Libya. Sarkozy was later one of the chief advocates of a NATO-led military campaign that resulted in Gaddafi’s overthrow and killing at the hands of rebel forces in 2011. French judicial procedure allows for investigators to hold a person for questioning for up to 48 hours, after which the magistrates must say whether they have grounds for turning a preliminary inquiry into a full investigation. The latter can, but does not always, lead to a trial. The Libya-funding inquiry appeared to have gone quiet until January, when French businessman Alexandre Djouhri, suspected by investigators of funneling money from Gaddafi to finance Sarkozy’s campaign, was arrested in Britain on a warrant issued by France.

EU sets May 26 for 2019 EU parl poll B RU S S E L S, M A R 2 0 (AGENCIES): The next elections to the European Parliament will take place in most countries on May 26, 2019, EU governments agreed on Tuesday. According to Reuters report, the date, favored by the parliament itself, is subject to final approvals but is unlikely to be altered. Legally, the five-yearly vote should have been held on June 9 but many states objected as that falls during the Pentecost holiday weekend. May 26 is a Sunday and so as some countries traditionally vote on other days of the week the election is formally scheduled for May 23-26, 2019. That shortens by two weeks any leeway for Britain to delay its scheduled March 29 departure from the bloc while still being out before the EU election. Lawmakers and governments have said that holding the elections while Britain was still formally an EU member would be legally complex, assuming that London would not itself want to organize a vote on the eve of Brexit. Britain will lose its 73 seats in the chamber, with about a third of them being reallocated to other countries.

Turkey Sudan, last male northern white rhino, dies US-S Korea military exercises to resume toUNendasks emergency on Tuesday. There has been a flurry of diplomatic activity across Asia, the United States and Europe since the North sent delegations to the Winter Olympics, moves that culminated in North Korea’s planned summits with the South and with the United States. The South Korean and U.S. militaries usually stage the two drills in March for about two months but the period of this year’s field exercise was cut by half, mainly due to the Olympics, said the South Korean official, who asked not to be identified. The exercises will be of a “scale similar to that of the previous years” and are meant “to improve our readiness against various North Korean threats”, the official said. North Korea is pursuing nuclear and missile programs in defiance of U.N. Security Council sanctions and has made no secret of

its plans to develop a missile capable of reaching the U.S. mainland. Such plans, and the exchange of insults between Kim and Trump, had led to increased fears of confrontation on the Korean peninsula in recent months before the diplomatic contacts. China, North Korea’s main ally, says it is happy to see an easing of tensions. The Pentagon said the North Korean military had been notified about the schedule for the drills by the United Nations Command. “Our combined exercises are defence-oriented and there is no reason for North Korea to view them as a provocation,” Pentagon spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Logan said in a statement. The South Korean official said consultations were underway over whether U.S. strategic assets such as nuclear-powered aircraft carriers or bombers would be deployed for the drills.

ANKARA, MAR 20 (AGENCIES): The United Nations has called on Turkey to end a state of emergency imposed after a 2016 failed coup attempt, saying it has led to “profound” human rights violations, reports AP. In a report released Tuesday, the U.N. said the state of emergency has paved the way to arbitrary detentions and dismissals, infringements on the rights to freedom of association and expression and torture and ill-treatment. Turkey has blamed the coup on a network of followers of U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen and launched a massive crackdown on his supporters and others accused of links to terror groups.

now lies in developing invitro fertilisation (IVF) techniques. Attempts to use Sudan to prolong the species with the two surviving female rhinos had failed, and an account was created for him on the dating app Tinder last year, not to find love, but to help fund the development

SEOUL/WASHINGTON, MAR 20 (agencies): The United States and South Korea will resume joint military drills next month, Seoul and Washington said on Tuesday, exercises that will go ahead despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s planned meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, reports Reuters. Seoul and Washington said in January they would delay the annual exercises until after the Winter Olympics and Paralympics held in South Korea last month, helping to create conditions for a resumption of talks between South and North Korea. The reclusive North routinely denounces the drills as preparation for war. The Foal Eagle field exercise is scheduled to begin on April 1 and go on for a month, while the computer-simulated Key Resolve will be held for two weeks starting in mid-April, a South Korean military official told reporters in Seoul

aving one of the main cast members lose his voice would normally be a disaster for a stage musical. But less so if that musical is written by pop legend Sting, and he happens to be available to step in to perform that character’s main song. That’s what happened at a performance of The Last Ship at Northern Stage in Newcastle. The former Police frontman came on stage to sing Underground River in place of Joe Caffrey, who plays Billy Thompson. Understudy Michael Blair performed the rest of Caffrey’s role. Sting based The Last Ship on his upbringing in the shipbuilding community in Wallsend, and

Northern Stage is where he began his professional music career, playing bass in the orchestra pit in the 1970s. Director Lorne Campbell said: We spent all afternoon working hard to make sure the show went ahead and I’m pleased to say the brilliant Michael Blair stepped in to perform the role of Billy (script in hand). Plus, audiences may have spotted a familiar face as Sting took to the stage to sing Underground River. Sting says he was happy to muck in. I didn’t wake up in the morning expecting I would be performing on the stage in the evening. But when one of the cast goes down it’s all hands on deck.” (FoxNews)

im Carrey has been criticised by conservatives in the US after posting a series of politicised cartoons. Canadian-born Carrey, who received dual US citizenship in 2004, took to Twitter at the weekend to share what appeared to be an unflattering portrait of White House Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders. “This is the portrait of a so-called Christian whose only purpose in life is to lie for the wicked. Monstrous!”, the actor wrote in a caption. After sharing the sketch online, Carrey was met by a backlash from right-wing figures on both social media and Fox News. Conservative commentator Candace Owens hit out at Carrey on Fox and Friends on Monday morning (March 19), describing Carrey’s actions as “ugly” and “not Christian-like whatsoever”. (NME)

Like Raj Kapoor saab, he too could play several instruments and he sang beautifully. In fact, he came to Mumbai to become a singer but ended up being a filmmaker. “I remember Raj Khosla singing ‘Allah-o-Akbar’ in his own voice. He could have given the playback singers a run for their money. I am sure Bhansaliji also sings well. “The only way a filmmaker can explain to a singer what he wants to express through his song, is to sing it himself.” (IANS)

tevie Wonder has spoken in defence of Bruno Mars following accusations of cultural appropriation. Mars was the subject of heated online discussion last week after writer Seren Sensei accused the star of appropriating black music. The original video that featured Sensei’s criticism went viral, racking up over 3 million views. Despite collaborating with a number of AfricanAmerican artists, Mars himself was born in Honolulu to a half-Puerto Rican and half-Ashkenazi Jewish father and a Filipino mother. Wo n d e r h a s n ow

He appealed to the NFL on Twitter after it was announced that the 2019 Super Bowl will be held in Atlanta. The city is widely considered to be the modern home of hip-hop in America and the home city of artists including Migos, Gucci Mane, and Outkast. Posting on Twitter, Mars wrote: “@NFL you have the opportunity to celebrate incredible Hip Hop Artist from Atlanta next year”. He added: “Outkast.

Earlier, it was Ismail Durbarji who would do the music. Now Bhansaliji is doing his own music, which is a very good thing,” said Lata Mangeshkar. The singer believes that a filmmaker has to be a musician himself to understand the quality of music needed in his films. “Bhansaliji has that quality. He has a deep knowledge of music and songs, and of the Indian classical heritage and culture. “I believe Bhansaliji has a music sense as sharp as Raj saab (Raj Kapoor). Raj saab was a complete musician. He played the tabla, the harmonium and the piano. He composed songs and sang them in his own voice before handing them over to professional playback singers. “He could have easily scored the music in his films. But he chose not to

Mohali, Mar 20 (IANS): Kings XI Punjab on Tuesday cited logistical difficulties while announcing a change in their upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) home schedule with the first three matches now shifted to the Mohali stadium here before capping it off with four matches at Indore. The side was originally slated to play their initial matches at Indore but logistical difficulties forced a change in the calendar, according to a statement from the franchise. “It is unfortunate that the dates had to be shuffled so late in the day,” Kings XI Punjab CEO Satish Menon said. “However, external difficulties always have to be worked around.

DDFRA members during the preparation works at DDSC Stadium on Tuesday. (NP)

Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, MAR 20 (NPN): Nearly after a gap of five years, Dimapur is all set to host the first Open Football Tournament at DDSC Stadium. The last time, DDSC hosted a football tournament was the Nagaland Premier League (NPL) in 2013. The absence of a major football tournament in Dimapur had been raised by many football lovers. Taking it as a challenge and to keep the game alive, Dimapur District Football Referee Association (DDFRA) with the support from likeminded

people has taken up the task to organise the tournament. The open football tournament, which will be held from April 6 to 17, is expected to attract teams from even outside the State. More than ten teams including teams from Diphu and Army have confirmed their participation. DDFRA president Shiyito Achumi told Nagaland Post, the media partner, that the aim of the tournament was to give platform to the youth and as well as to counter social menace like drugs, alcohol etc. According to Shiyito,

in view of the growing popularity of football in the country, the DDFRA despite of its limited resources has decided to organize the tournament, so that upcoming talented youngsters will get the opportunity to hone their skills and display their talents. “We are grateful that many likeminded people, who have concern for the youth, have come forward to extend their support”, he added. Football has been popular a game in the state, but not a single tournament has been organized in the last five years, therefore, we have decided to conduct

the tournament through the support of various donors, the DDFRA president said. The association has also acknowledged the sponsors for their support towards organising the tournament. Meanwhile, as preparation for the tournament, members of DDFRA on Tuesday carried out ground works at the venue. Further, the association has invited all football fans and lovers to come and witness the matches. Their presence during the tournament will make a big difference in uplifting the morale of the youth, the president added.

Kidambi Srikanth, Somdev receive Padma Shri awards

NEW DELHI, Mar 20 (Agencies): Ace men’s singles shuttler Kidambi Srikanth and former Asian Games gold medallist tennis player Somdev Devvarman on Tuesday received the country’s fourth-highest civilian award, Padma Shri, from President Ram Nath Kovind at the Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi. Besides the duo, India’s first Paralympic gold medallist, Murlikant Petkar also received the Padma Shri on Tuesday. This year, former India cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and multiple world champion cueist Pankaj Advani were conferred with the country’s third-highest civilian award, Padma Bhushan. While, 2017 World Weightlifting champion in the 48kg category, Saikhom Mirabai Chanu was conferred the Padma Shri. However, the three of them were not present during the ceremony due to different reasons. Currently ranked second in the BWF rankings, Srikanth, 2018 TOISA Sportsperson of the Year, is looked upon as a future Olympic champion shuttler. The 24-year-old shuttler’s real rise came last season when he won as many as six titles including four Super Series titles. He won

the French Open, Denmark Open, Australian Open, Indonesia Open, India Open and China Open. Petkar won an individual gold medal in the 1972 Summer Paralympics, in Heidelberg, Germany. He set a world record in the 50m freestyle swimming event, at 37.33 seconds. In the same Games, he participated in javelin, precision javelin throw and slalom. He was a finalist in all three events. Dhoni has been the recipient of many awards, including the ICC ODI Player of the Year award in 2008 and 2009 (the first player to win the award twice), the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award in 2007 and the Padma Shri, India’s fourth highest civilian honour in 2009.

Just like Dhoni, Advani, 2018 TOISA Snooker/ Billiards Player of the Year, also has a distinguished career, having won gold twice in Asian Games in 2006 Doha and 2010 Guangzhou. He is also a multiple worldchampion. Manipuri weightlifter Mirabai Chanu, who won 2018 TOISA Weightlifter of the Year, claim to fame includes silver medal in the women’s 48kg weight class at the 2014 Commonwealth Games at Glasgow. But her real claim to fame came last year when she lifted a world record of 194 kg in total (85 kg snatch and 109 kg clean & jerk) to win the gold in the 2017 World Weightlifting Championships held at Anaheim, CA, United States.

Cristiano Ronaldo named best LeBron gets triple-double as Cavs beat Bucks Portuguese footballer of 2017

Cristiano Ronaldo

L i s b o n , M ar 2 0 (IANS): Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo won the 2017 Quina de Oro Award for Best Portuguese Footballer of the year, for the second consecutive year. Ronaldo on Monday received the award at the Carlos Lopes Pavilion in a ceremony organised by the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF), the National Association of Portuguese Coaches (ANTP) and the Union of Professional Football Players (SJPF), reports Efe. UEFA President Alek-

sander Ceferin presented the award to Real Madrid’s forward, who prevailed in the final vote over Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva and Sporting CP’s Rui Patricio. “It was an unforgettable year on a personal and individual level,” Ronaldo said, recalling Portugal’s qualification for the World Cup in Russia and the “historic year” for Real Madrid, with five trophies. Ro n a l d o wo n t h e award for the second consecutive year, but he also has in his portfolio the Quina de Oro Award for

the Best Portuguese Player of All Time which the Federation awarded him in 2015. Meanwhile, Ronaldo will pay the money the Spanish Treasury demands if it withdraws its request for him to be given a prison sentence for an alleged tax fraud of 14.7 million euros, Spanish media reported on Monday. However, the Portuguese captain is not willing to admit he has committed any criminal offence. The Treasury’s petition last week for an eight year prison sentence for another former Real Madrid player, Xabi Alonso, for three cases of alleged fraud, totalling eight million euros, provoked Ronaldo and his advisors to attempt to find a negotiated solution to the charges against him, rather than continuing to fight the case through the courts. Until now Ronaldo, like Alonso, has strongly denied he committed fraud to avoid paying tax on earnings from image rights but his idea now is to offer the Treasury a “blank cheque” to avoid a prison term.

CLEVELAND, Mar 20 (Agencies): LeBron James made certain another news-filled day ended with his own headline. James scored 40 points as part of his third tripledouble in four games and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Milwaukee Bucks 124-117 on Monday night as coach Tyronn Lue began his leave of absence to address health issues. Lue said Monday in a statement he been dealing with chest pains and loss of sleep, and that tests have offered no conclusion about what the issue is. Associate head coach Larry Drew will run the team in Lue’s absence. Lue’s departure came several hours before Kevin Love returned after missing six weeks because of a broken left hand. The All-Star forward scored 18 points in 25 minutes. Losing their coach while getting back a star player seems to fit the narrative of this turbulent season. The Cavaliers (41-29) are third in the Eastern Conference and have endured roster shake-ups, injuries and other distractions as they try to reach the NBA Finals

James defends Antetokounmpo - who scored 37 points in the Milwaukee Bucks’ loss.

for the fourth straight time. “If it’s not one thing, it’s another,” James said. James scored 17 points in the third quarter and finished with 12 rebounds and 10 assists for his 16th tripledouble this season and 71st of his career. The four-time MVP took over in the third be-

ginning with back-to-back 3-pointers. After not getting a foul called on a third attempt, he finished Cleveland’s next possession with a massive dunk. He was fouled attempting another dunk and made both free throws the following time down. James expressed his

displeasure, as did the crowd at Quicken Loans Arena, after the officials didn’t call a foul when he attempted his third 3-pointer. He quickly took out his frustration on the next two possessions. James is trying to use humor in dealing with the lack of calls. “I got hit in

the head three times today, got elbowed in the nose,” he said. “It is what it is at this point. I went to keep pushing and try not to get caught up in the battle with the calls that should be called.” Milwaukee cut a 17point lead to 117-109, but James drove the length of the floor for a dunk with just over a minute left. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 37 points and went 11 for 11 at the foul line for Milwaukee, which fell to eighth in the Eastern Conference after Miami defeated Denver. James’ performance led to Antetokounmpo having an unusual postgame conversation. Khris Middleton had 30 points, making 11 of 16 from the field. Lue, 40, led Cleveland to the 2016 NBA championship after taking over for David Blatt midway through that season. No timetable has been given for when Lue will return. He missed the second half Saturday, the second time this season he left a game because he wasn’t feeling well. Lue also sat out a game against Chicago at home in December.

Wrestlers in quandary ahead of CWG Rabada cleared to play against Australia NEW DELHI, mar 20 (Agencies): The Commonwealth Games has always been a happy hunting ground for Indian wrestlers. India is ranked second behind Canada in the wrestling’s all-time medal count at the CWG, having cornered an astonishing 90 medals, including 38 gold. However, things there may not be that rosy this time around at Gold Coast CWG. In a setback of sorts, the Indian wrestlers have been denied an opportunity to fly down to Australia early for acclimatisation and training. The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has decided that the wrestlers will arrive at the Athletes’ Village on April 10, barely two days prior to the start of the wrestling competitions on April 12. Some participating men and women wrestlers wanted to reach

Sushil Kumar

Australia well in advance to prepare for the Games, since acclimatisation forms an important part of any athlete’s event strategy. But WFI has decided against it, arguing that training in India would serve the same purpose. The WFI claimed that it tried to arrange a training stint in countries like Japan, Bulgaria and Kazakhstan, but their respective wrestling federations either turned

down the proposal or didn’t bother to answer back. Double Olympics medallist Sushil Kumar has arranged for a training stint in Georgia, paying from his own pocket since he is neither the part of the TOP scheme nor entitled for Rs 50,000 monthly allowance. He will leave for Georgia with his personal coaching staff soon. The CWG-bound wres-

tlers’ contention is that if Indians in other disciplines can go to Gold Coast early – in some cases two weeks in advance – then why not they? Several members of the athletics contingent have already left for Australia. A 12-member boxing team is already training at the Australian Sports Institute in Canberra, while shooters and shuttlers will be leaving for Gold Coast this week.

“If other federations are spending from their pockets and making arrangements for their athletes to go to Australia early, why can’t the WFI extend the same courtesy to its wrestlers? Once the Athletes’ Village is thrown open next week, the Games’ organising committee (OC) will take care of the participants,” said a wrestler. “It helps to prepare both physically and mentally if you reach early for the tournament. The wrestlers earlier travelled to places like Georgia or Colorado Springs in the US before a multisport event. This time we will train at home and leave for the Games at the last minute,” another wrestler added. When TOI contacted a WFI official, he said the federation tried making arrangements for training in different countries, but it did not work out.

CAPE TOWN, Mar 20 (Agencies): South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has been cleared to play remainder of the Test series against Australia having won his appeal against a Level Two breach of the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) code of conduct. Rabada had his punishment for brushing against the shoulder of Australia captain Steven Smith in the second test in Port Elizabeth reduced from a fine of 50 percent of his match fee and three demerit points, to 25 percent and one demerit point. He, however, was found guilty of a lesser charge of “conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game” on appeal by Judicial Commissioner Michael Heron, according to a statement from the ICC on Tuesday. That leaves Rabada’s

total of demerit points over the last 24 months on seven, one fewer than the threshold that would trigger an automatic two-match suspension. He received a demerit point for a send-off to Australian opener David Warner in the same game. Cur rently the top ranked Test bowler in the world, Rabada is free to play the third Test that

starts in Cape Town on Thursday, with the tempestuous four-match series square at 1-1. The 22-year-old admitted he needed to tone down his wicket celebrations in the wake of the Smith incident but maintained that the contact with Smith was accidental and he had not intended to brush against the batsman.
