Modi, ‘India’s divider in chief’: TIME

NEW YORK, MAY 10 (PTI): The TIME magazine has featured Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the cover of its international edition with a controversial headline as the country enters the final phase of the mammoth general election.

The American magazine’s May 20, 2019 international editions - the Europe, Middle East and Africa, Asia and South Pacific - feature the Modi cover story with the main headline “India’s Divider in Chief ” while the US edition has a cover story on Democrat Elizabeth Warren who is running for the White House in 2020.

The article “India’s Divider in Chief ” is written

by Aatish Taseer, son of Indian journalist Tavleen Singh and late Pakistani politician and businessman Salmaan Taseer.

It also said the opposition Congress party has little to offer other than the dynastic principle.

The article “Modi the Reformer” is authored by Ian Bremmer, president and founder of Eurasia Group, a global political risk research and consulting firm.

The articles inside the

Cover of the Time magazine

magazine have the titles “Can the World’s Largest Democracy Endure Another Five Years of a Modi Government?”, written by Taseer and “Modi Is India’s Best Hope for Economic Reform”, by Bremmer.

Taseer’s article notes that “If in 2014 he (Modi) was able to exploit differences in order to create a climate of hope, in 2019 he is asking people to stave off their desperation by living for their differences alone.

“Then he was a messiah, ushering in a future too bright to behold, one part Hindu renaissance, one part South Korea’s economic programme. Now he is merely a politician who has failed to deliver, seeking

delivered on the promise of 2014. It is why he has resorted to looking for enemies within,” he wrote.

On the other hand, Bremmer’s article notes that while Modi’s economic record is mixed, “India still needs change, and Modi remains the person most likely to deliver. He has improved relations with China, the US and Japan, but it’s his domestic development agenda that has done the most to improve the lives and prospects of hundreds of millions of people”.

Outlining the achievements of the Modi-led government, Bremmer talks about the Goods and Services Tax enacted in 2017, the “unprecedented amounts” of money directed towards the country’s new infrastructure, expansion of the Aadhaar biometric identification system that began under the previous Congress– led government.

“Modi has the instinct to dominate and the thin skin of other strongmen, but he also has a genuine track record in providing the kind of reform that developing India urgently needs,” Bremmer writes.

Special team to check imposters DIMAPUR, MAY 10 (NPN): In a significant development, Working Committee (WC) of the NNPGs has decided that none of its member organisations will seek donation or indulge in taxation of any kind from T.K. Engineering Co, presently engaged in construction of four-lane from Chumukedima to Purana Bazzar.

This was contained in a statement issued by media cell of WC, NNPGs which disclosed that it was a decision arrived at after a meeting at Oking on Thursday.

According to media cell of WC, NNPGs, the decision was taken to enable the company concerned to focus on quality workmanship, remove all hurdles and complete the project within stipulated timeframe.

Correspondent MON, MAY 10 (NPN): In an unprecedented move, the recently suspended 19 NPF office bearers of Mon division locked the party’s Mon divisional head office here on Friday.

Speaking to Nagaland Post, suspended NPF Mon division vice-president CH Yanboh said they locked the

K O H I M A , M AY 1 0 (NPN): Reacting to the report of non-availability of non-judicial stamp papers in the state, the directorate of treasuries and account Friday clarified that necessary indents has already been arranged but due to transportation problem from the firm, it has been delayed.

In a press release, principal director RN Yanthan has, however, stated that nonjudicial stamps of Rs.10 denominations were available at Kohima North Treasury.

The department stated that it was trying to make the materials available at the earliest.

D I M A P U R , M AY 1 0 (NPN): In view of the recent devastating attack on agricultural crops by fall armyworm pest in Manipur and Mizoram and in some parts of Kohima, the state government has directed all the departments to advise the district officials to take preventive measures and be prepared for such eventualities.

In an office memorandum, APC & principal secretary agriculture, T Imkonglemba Ao, has requested the departments to take all measure to eradicate the “They should make up pest in places where it has their minds on whether already been infested. they wanted drain cover According to an official or footpath?” bulletin, the department of

office to express their discontentment over their suspension as, according to him, “constitutional procedure” of the party was not followed while suspending them.

Informing this correspondent about the sequence of events that led to locking of the office, Yanboh explained that despite seeking directives on which party to vote as there was no NPF

candidate during the recently-concluded Lok Sabha election, there was no word from the president and general secretary of NPF Mon division.

He also accused the duo of misusing funds provided by the central office for election expenses. He said even after casting of ballots in the Lok Sabha election, the president and general secretary failed to convene a meeting and collect report.

Considering the above points, Yanboh said they had written a letter to the party’s central executive office expressing non-cooperation to the Mon division president and general secretary on April 22.

However, instead of getting response to their letter as is normally expected and taking the matter as a family issue, he alleged that they were suspended without any explanation call or show cause notice, as required by NPF’s constitution.

DIMAPUR, MAY 10 (NPN): Deputy chief minister Y Patton Friday said that the increasing presence of “people of doubtful origin along the neighbourhood” was a serious concern for Nagaland in particular and the region in general.

NEW DELHI, MAY 10 (PTI): Supreme Court Friday asked chief secretaries of Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Telangana and administrators of two Union Territories to provide in four weeks the data of people who have recovered from mental illness and are fit to go home, but languishing in hospitals. The top court said the data should be provided to the Centre to enable it to prepare a roadmap for setting up rehabilitation homes for such people.

A bench of justices D Y Chandrachud and Hemant Gupta has asked the chief secretaries to furnish all the relevant details to the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment for formulation of a proper roadmap.

Petitioner advocate Gaurav Kumar Bansal informed the court that there was noncompliance of its last order and some states have not provided necessary data to the Centre.

The bench said that if chief secretaries failed to comply with the direction then it may be constrained to ask them to appear in person before it.

Illegal migrant issue, a serious Zeliang disappointed at delay concern for Nagaland: Patton in solving Naga political issue role of every stakeholder.

He, therefore, called upon every concerned citizen including civil societies to partake actively in containing the illegal migrant issues in the state.

On the occasion, Patton assured the student community that the present PDA government was fully committed to look into the welfare and genuine concerns of the students.

He encouraged the younger generations to work hard for academic excellence, saying there was no substitute for hard work in the present competitive world.

Patton, who began his political journey from Bhandari assembly constituency, expressed gratitude to the people of the area for the love and support.

Leader of opposition and senior NPF leader TR Zeliang has expressed disappointment at the delay in arriving at a final solution to the decades-old Indo-Naga political issue despite peace talks for the past 21 years and signing of the Ceasefire Agreement of 1997.

Speaking at the 28th general conference of Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) at Bandhari town in Wokha district on Friday, Zeliang further lamented that even after signing of the Framework Agreement between Government of India and NSCN (I-M), which is now joined by seven NNPGs, the issue has not reached a conclusion. In this regard, he complimented the role of NSF in keeping the people emotionally and socially integrated, stating it deserves (Cont’d on p-7) appreciation.

to promptly report to WC members of NNPGs should any donation demand is made.

The WC meeting also endorsed the formation of a special team comprising of members of military wing from all NNPGs under WC to tackle the menace of imposters and dubious elements terrorising entrepreneurs and business outlets, especially in and around Dimapur.

Admitting that the commercial hub of Nagaland is in the grip of guntoting imposters posing as representatives of NNPGs, the WC said they would be identified and befittingly penalised.

Stating that there are also reports of policemen in civilian dresses arresting people randomly at gunpoint, the committee feared that without proper identity, there is a danger of them being mistaken as rogue elements. Calling for putting in place proper mechanism to avoid accidents through mistaken identity, the NNPGs also appeal to all citizens, particularly business community, to extend co-operation in this endeavour.

NNC, FGN to observe Plebiscite Day May 16

D I M A P U R , M AY 1 0 (NPN): Naga National Council (NNC) and the Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN) will be observing the ‘69th Naga Voluntary Plebiscite Day’ on May 16, 2019 at 10 a.m. at Peace Camp, Chedema, Nagaland. In this regard, all fellow Nagas have been invited to participate on grace the occasion.

re-election...,” he says.

In 2014, Modi converted cultural anger into economic promise. He spoke of jobs and development.

Taking a swipe at the socialist state, he famously said, ‘Government has no business being in business’. That election, though it is hard to believe now, was an election of hope, the article says.

“Not only has Modi’s economic miracle failed to materialize, he has also helped create an atmosphere of poisonous religious nationalism in India,” Taseer writes.

On Congress -- India’s oldest party -- he said it has no more political imagination than to send Priyanka Gandhi - Rahul Gandhi’s sister - to join her brother’s side. It would be equivalent to America’s Democratic Party fielding Hillary Clinton again in 2020, with the added enticement of her daughter Chelsea as Vice President.

“Modi is lucky to be blessed with so weak an opposition - a ragtag coalition of parties, led by the Congress, with no agenda other than to defeat him.

Even so, doubts assail him, for he must know he has not

agriculture has also stated that the fall armyworm infestation has been reported from Kohima district on maize crop cultivation.

Fall armyworm is an invasive pest damaging the entire field within few days of its infestation. Fall armyworm is an exotic pest and can feed on 80 different crops, but the main impact is on maize crop. This is a topic of concern for farmers and the scientist across the country. Therefore, the department has requested

the DAOs of the district to immediately start with the monitoring, surveillance and pest scouting for immediate control measures.

The important steps to be taken into account are timely application of plant protection measures to avoid spreading, creation of awareness to the stake holders and management strategies at community level.

For input support, the directorate of agriculture can provide Azadirachtin for first window (seedling

to early whorl stage) Emamectin benzoote for second window (mid whorl to late whorl stage).

The package of practices on management strategies will also be uploaded in the NeGPA website (Naga Farm Doctor App).

Infestation of fallarmy worm: Following the report of damage caused to maize crop, KVK functionaries went for inspection in Medziphema and Jalukie area and confirmed that it was fall armyworm infestation. The team found that 80-90% of the crops were affected.

KVK personnel have cautioned the farmers about the pest and its polyphagous nature which can feed on many host plants like maize, rice, sugarcane etc. The pest can cause complete devastation of the crop plant within a week if appropriate control measures are not taken. The

infestation normally starts with the larvae feeding on the tender shoots and leaves by scraping and migrating to the whorls resulting in silvery transparent membrane on the leaves with faecal matter in the infested whorls.

The detailed information on life history, identification and ecology is available on ICAR-NBAIR website (http:www.nbair.res. in/insectpests/Spodoptera_ frugiperda.php) and the management action plan for this devastating pest is available on the advisory section of the Directorate of Plant protection, Quarantine & Storage(DOPPQS), Faridabad (http://ppqs. gov.in/advisories-section) and also available on the ICAR_NBAIR, Bengaluru website (http://www. nbair.res.in/recent_events/ spodoptera%20frugiperda. pdf).

According to Zeliang, Nagas have travelled a long journey of freedom movement and struggled for more than 70 years. Terming CAB as an important issue for Nagas in particular and indigenous people of the Northeast in general, he urged the federation to take the lead in raising the issue and continue to fight till the last.

He said NSF is not just a mere student body but a conglomeration of young and upcoming leaders. And as apex organisation of the student community, he said the federation should make it a tradition to focus on core issue of any given problem while abstaining from politicising the matter at any cost.

For instance, Naga political issue or CAB and any other such matters should not be politicised, he stressed.

role was important in curing diseases, through good nursing care and medicine.

Sometime, their works may not be appreciated, but it was their duty to provide quality nursing care to the clients, Henia said.

The joint director

Speaking on the theme, deputy director nursing H&FW Shetoni said the greatest area of advancement for the implementation and improvement of value-based healthcare was in the collection and analysis of nursing data.

valour of the Indian Armed Forces The event offered a platform for the youth to know more about the Indian Armed Forces. All the attendees expressed profound gratitude for undertaking such an initiative and appreciated the continuous efforts and commitments of Assam Rifles in reaching out to the youth.

The event witnessed attendance of over 300 students and teachers from eight colleges and fifteen schools from various parts of Manipur.

Soon after the tragedy, state MAHUD (municipal administration, housing and urban development) minister Th Shyamkumar rushed to the spot and took stock of the situation.

Later, talking to media at his office chamber, the minister said that the structure in which its brick railing collapsed on Friday was among more 50 years old buildings in the city which the owner re-painted only to make the building look new and avoid intervention by the concerned authority.

The minister claimed that the Imphal Municipal Corporation has been keeping special vigilance on the old buildings in the city area, but they were facing difficulties in identifying the old buildings of more than 50 years old as owners used to repaint after minor repairing.

The minister mulled identifying such old buildings in bad conditions with high tech methods and take up necessary steps to demolish them before such tragedy reoccur in future.

The minister, who is bound by Model Code of Conduct of the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, further assured all possible assistants from state government side to the family of the deceased and injured persons as per government norms.

Court orders suspension of MPSC’ May 12 civil service prelims exam 2019 Correspondent IMPHAL, May 10: An order of the High Court of Manipur passed on Friday suspended preliminary examination of the Manipur Civil Service Combined Competitive (Preliminary) Examination 2019 to be conducted on coming Sunday (May 12).

While passing the order, Justice Lanusungkum Jamir, observed that Manipur Public Service Commission (MPSC) failed to comply with a direction of the same court passed earlier.

In February 28, 2017, the High Court of Manipur directed the Manipur Civil Service Combined Competitive to conduct examinations only after the appointment of a controller of examination and after framing proper rules and regulations for conducting exams by the commission.

The MPSC failed to comply with the direction, the judge observed.

Justice Lanusungkum Jamir passed the order suspending the conduct of the preliminary exam after hearing to a writ petition filed by a group of civil service aspirants alleging that Manipur Civil Service Combined Competitive was going to conduct the

TURA, MAY 10 (AGENCIES): The district administration of South West Garo Hills (SWGH) has ordered a blanket ban on felling of trees and killing of wildlife in the district.

The move, which is likely to be emulated in other parts of the region, comes about even as residents of the region complain about water scarcity despite Garo Hills always being rich in flora and fauna. In a statement issued today, DC Ramkumar S, stated that the ban was necessitated due to the wanton destruction of forests and animals by people or groups, which would in all likelihood, result in the destruction of catchment areas. The DC further stated that the order comes into force with immediate effect and would continue till further notice.

preliminary exam without appointing a controller of examination and in absent of proper rules and regulations.

During the hearing, MPSC as respondent of the petition, in its counter affidavit submitted to the court, mentioned that the commission has written to the chief secretary of Manipur government for appointment of the controller of examination only on May 9, 2019, two days prior to the exam scheduled.

“This would clearly indicate that the direction passed by this court in the judgment dated Feb 28, 2017 has not been complied with,” the judged said in his order.

The judged observed that steps for appointment of a control of examination in the MPSC were taken up only on May 9, 2018 much later after the advertisement for the conduct of the preliminary exam and only two days prior to the preliminary exam scheduled on May 12, 2019.

The advertisement was issued on January 8, 2019.

No examination can be conducted in the absence of the appointment of a controller of examination as directed by the

court in the judgment passed on February 28, 2017.

“The preliminary examination of the Manipur Civil Service Combined Competitive (Preliminary) Examination 2019 is scheduled to be held on 12th May shall remain suspended till the next returnable date,” the order stated.

However, the order added that the court did not want to keep the matter lingering for a long time as the court is conscious of the fact that there are thousands of aspirants vying for selection pursuant to the advertisement dated January 8, 2019 and also taking into consideration that this is one of the most prestigious examination conducted by the Manipur Civil Service Combined Competitive.

A c c o r d i n g l y, t h e court further directed the respondents of the writ petition (Manipur government and others) to file affidavit as well as take appropriate instructions on or before May 15, 2019.

The judge fur ther asked the petitioners to file if any rejoinder on their part to submit it on or before May 20, which the court fixed to dispose the writ petition.

E

very rational person of any established religion restrains from speaking ill against any dead person since it is frowned upon except unless it is just a reference if such a person was a convicted criminal. Nonetheless , in general, the living do not speak ill of the dead. However, when prime minister Narendra Modi attacked Rahul and dragged the latter’s father late Rajiv by calling the former prime minister as Corrupt No.1, it was the worst low in campaign history. In that speech, Modi referred to Rahul Gandhi and said, “Your father was termed ‘Mr Clean’ by his courtiers, but his life ended as ”Bhrashtachari No 1” (corrupt number 1).” This hitting below the belt also shocked other regional party leaders such as –Mamata(TMC), Akhilesh(SP), Mayawati(BSP), and Kejriwal(AAP), who have condemned Modi’s slur against the memory of a the former Indian prime minister martyred by the now defunct terror organisation the LTTE. Even Karnataka BJP leader and former union minister Srinivasa Prasad had condemned the remark. Prasad told ANI that even though he respected Narendra Modi, he did not agree with the PM’s remarks targeting Rajiv Gandhi. Prasad said late Rajiv did not die after being held guilty of corruption and that he did not believe it nor did others. Former Congress union minister P.C.Chidambaram , in his tweet asked Modi whether he is aware that the charge against Mr Rajiv Gandhi was thrown out by the High Court, Delhi as completely baseless and that a BJP government decided not to file an appeal to the SC against the HC judgment?. Unlike the BJP under Modi, the BJP under late Atal Behari Vajpayee or L.K.Advani adhered to the principle of decency in public speech.

In 2017 in parliament, Modi swayed fellow BJP parliamentarian, through insult and personal abuses, most notably among them were the infamous “Kutto ki parampara (tradition of dogs)” and the “raincoat in bathroom” jibe at the former PM Manmohan Singh.

Global writers’ body PEN International, while releasing its annual “Freedom of Expression Report” at the end of its 84th Congress held in Pune between September 25 and 29, 2018 said that the “climate for free expression has severely deteriorated in India in the last few years” under the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government. In 2014 when hate speeches from various BJP functionaries including ministers sparked outrage, many in India and abroad had expected Modi to speak out and rein in his party members. However he remained silent and India’s corporate media acting as apologists for Modi, was justified his silence as by arguing that Modi cannot be speaking on every stray incident amidst his enormous work schedule. However Modi’s surprising but deafening silence in reality, prove to be an assent which was confirmed in his campaign speeches during 2018 and particularly the ongoing Lok Sabha election. Therefore, if the chief says nothing against hate speeches made by his team members, then it is concluded that he agrees with them. The Election Commission of India(ECI) has given Modi the longest rope and consistently refused to issue notice for violation of Model Code of Conduct. This has led Congress MP Sushmita Dev to approach the Supreme Court against the ECI for its alleged arbitrariness in giving Modi clean chits. Modi ought to know that he has the weight of decency, dignity and civility to maintain through his speeches as the Prime Minister of India.

DailyDevotion Take the Initiative …add to your faith virtue… —2 Peter 1:5 Add means that we have to do something. We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God will not do what we can do. We cannot save nor sanctify ourselves— God does that. But God will not give us good habits or character, and He will not force us to walk correctly before Him. We have to do all that ourselves. We must “work out” our “own salvation” which God has worked in us (Philippians 2:12). Add means that we must get into the habit of doing things, and in the initial stages that is difficult. To take the initiative is to make a beginning— to instruct yourself in the way you must go.

Beware of the tendency to ask the way when you know it perfectly well. Take the initiative— stop hesitating— take the first step. Be determined to act immediately in faith on what God says to you when He speaks, and never reconsider or change your initial decisions. If you hesitate when God tells you to do something, you are being careless, spurning the grace in which you stand. Take the initiative yourself, make a decision of your will right now, and make it impossible to go back. Burn your bridges behind you, saying, “I will write that letter,” or “I will pay that debt”; and then do it! Make it irrevocable.

We have to get into the habit of carefully listening to God about everything, forming the habit of finding out what He says and heeding it. If, when a crisis comes, we instinctively turn to God, we will know that the habit has been formed in us. We have to take the initiative where we are, not where we have not yet been.

Post-mortem

Needed, a clear policy against political violence

T

he General Election this time has been marked by a significant amount of violence in the run-up to the polls in several parts of the country. The bitterness amongst the contesting parties in states like West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra precipitated clashes between rival workers testing the efficacy and impartiality of the local police. The institution of the State Electoral Officer did not seem to be strong enough in monitoring the performance of the district police officials and taking action against those who showed serious dereliction of duty.

Violence around polling booths is a negation of democratic rights of the voters and by now India should have been able to practice zero tolerance towards this malaise. It is high time a commission examined the ways and means of ensuring peace during elections and defined specific policy measures in this regard for the future. It is highly regrettable that the largest democracy in the world cannot free the election process of street level violence.

Clearly in the federal scheme of things it is the state police chief who has to take direct responsibility for it and demonstrate his or her apolitical credentials while handling law and order during elections with an iron fist. There should be no delay in the implementation of the Supreme Court order issued last year against the practice of appointing officiating DGPs - that also clearly laid down that the UPSC will draw up a panel of three names in consultation with the state government and that the state government will make one of them the DGP of the state on the basis of merit-cum-seniority. This is the single most important police reform that the Centre must put in place at once.

Another area of political violence that showed up during and outside of elections, concerns the injurious fallout from public speeches that tended to instigate caste, communal or regional conflicts.

Pungent wit and some name calling without violating the law of defamation could be a legit part of electioneering but deliberately indulging in identity politics and questioning the symbols of nationalism became much too obvious in the poll fray this time. India is vulnerable to communal and caste tensions and freedom of expression cannot be allowed to cross the legal limits put on it by the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1972 that created Sections 153A & 153B to define cognizable and nonbailable offences pertaining to sectarian speeches. The police machinery of the districts has to be strengthened a great deal with manpower and technological equipment to enable it to handle this rampant criminality committed by the people in public life today. Follow up on the blatant violations of law noticed in this General Election should continue even after the poll process is over.

The most dangerous form of political violence that is steadily permeating our nation, however, is the rise of new terror emanating from faith-based motivation. Terrorism by definition is the resort to ‘covert violence for a perceived political cause’. In the absence of such a ‘cause’ the violence will just be sheer criminality and terrorism is not that certainly. A cause demands ‘commitment’ which in turn is rooted in ‘motivation’.

India has seen diverse motivations behind terror movements and insurgencies - ‘ideological’ that sustained Maoism or assertion of ‘ethnic identity’ that was the case with NorthEast insurgent groups - but the new global terror that is now afflicting the world and becoming a prime security threat to India is a class apart since it is linked to the call of ‘defence of Islam’ or Jehad.

This is an outcome of the complications connected with the ‘war on terror’ launched against the Islamic radicals by the US-led West post 9/11 on the one hand and the cross border terrorism started by Pakistan to settle scores with India using India- specific terror outfits under the ISI

control, on the other.

Developments in recent times have made Pakistan the world repository of Islamic militancy and the agencies in that country are now manoeuvring the entire spectrum of militants from Al QaedaTaliban combine and ISIS at one end to Lashkar-e-Toiba and Hizbul Mujahideen at the other. The keenness of the US to work for withdrawal of American troops from Syria and Afghanistan has given a lot of residual advantage to Pakistan in terms of its plans to use Islamic militants as a strategic resource for furthering its foreign policy objectives. India has much to feel concerned about the way US was relying on Pakistan to reach a settlement with Taliban. While this is the scene in Afghanistan the recent terror bombings against Christians and Western tourists in and around Colombo have been claimed by ISIS. What is more significant, the local radical outfit, the National Tawheed Jamaat, complicit in this covert offensive in Sri Lanka is found to have links with Pakistan and South India. It is already known that Al Qaeda in Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) operating out of Pakistan with patronage from ISI has the avowed aim of establishing Islamic State in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Myanmar. India, unlike the US, is directly in the arc of Islamic militancy and needs to strategise for national security against this new threat of faithbased terror.

It is extremely disquieting that political discourse in India - and this became sharper in the election campaign - has tended to drag Pakistan into the discussions on minorities here. This trend has started from Jammu and Kashmir where the regional parties have openly advocated a communally-based ‘solution’ by talking of the Valley and not about the integral state of J&K that is home to many religions. They have strengthened the hands of Pakistan which finds it convenient to project Kashmir as a Muslim issue and create communal divide in the domestic politics

of India.

The same effect is produced by some opposition leaders at the national level who criticised the ‘muscular ‘ policy of the Modi government towards Pakistan but maintained deliberate silence on the infiltration of terrorists by Pakistan’s ISI across the LOC to create violence in the state. The campaign for General Election this time has deepened the communal antagonism on majority-minority line and left the country vulnerable to Pak machinations to generate militancy as a byproduct of communal disharmony.

In the initial decades after Independence, India witnessed communal riots primarily because of the legacy of Partition but these subsided as the democratic processes took firm root and equality of rights played out for everybody. The rise of new global terror that invokes the cause of Islam has made it possible - particularly because of the mischief of Pak agencies - for radicalisation to seep into India, howsoever small may be its spread in the country so far.

The events at Colombo come as a wake-up call for our security set-up. Various communities of India at the level of average citizens want to lead a peaceful life and make use of whatever opportunities of economic advancement that would become available to them.

It should not be difficult to achieve a convergence amongst all communities on the external threats to national security if the leaders of the communities did not seek political power by dividing the people. Our laws and security policy should provide for quick punishment for those who tried to gain from the advocacy of violence in course of projection of religion into politics. Our ruling dispensation should be upfront about it - this seems to be a major learning from the 2019 national election.

Where are we today!

“I

never think of the future – it comes soon enough”. Albert Einstein In a blink of an eye, a year passes unknowingly and the journey of humankind in this world passes through confusion and uncertainty. It is imperceptible that we are living without the hope in next generation. Men are obsessed to adapt with the changing world, progressive, prosperous, and harmonious for the will to survive but without knowing the consequences.

Today, our world is living in chaos, unaware and impatient among our self because we never know what will happen in a nearer future, but we have a mode to survive and to work to satisfy for our living but it is incorrigible. Incipient where are we today! Do we have hope? Do we have a bright future? Yes, indeed we have. Though in contemporary, the world is full of sophisticated surrounding our self with an advance technology, making us easier way to live but it make us becoming procrastinate finding an easy solution for a person to live.

Inequality is a major problem we are facing today, the world is divide into two society indigent and high social class. Most people think it is injustice,. However, as we look further there is no differentiate among them, an indigent are repudiate their status, imitate without their limitation, whereas high social class are practicing of immature and unreliable where it is irksome. Both are indulge irrational without knowing where the world taking us to.

In religious view, every person believe in Liberation, through biblical we believe in eternal, God is our saviour, theology says, acknowledge his wisdom, goodness and power this is the most important in human ethics, but can we guarantee for our eternal with this current situation? What if there is second coming of Jesus? Though, it is an immature mindset but what ‘if ’ it happen, it will be immense depress to insipid people.

Presently, our world is facing of wars, famines, and economic failures, conflict among nations, imbroglio, jealousy, hatred and bitterness, all this are making us confused about our future.

In other way technology is shaping our world and inspiring people’s mind but it is all about illusion and we are being directed to wrong way. Furthermore, every religion teaches about the ethics but men are avoiding the good will and become more greedier and arrogance. It is unalterable and improbity - the world has no choice, let it be, judgements await, soon or later.

Eventually, the most important thing for human beings in this world should adopting the characteristics of God and keeping his commandments, It is the will of God and a good relationship between Him and fellow human beings. Nonetheless, whatever situation we are facing today - one must put faith in God and mind his business without interfering others. At this juncture I would like to raise a question - where are we today? Are we hypnotize by our fancy mind or is it all about illusion? Humankind are in confusion, instability and admissible to illusion, therefore the transition of our world is in chaos!

On accusations History can be tough taskmaster if inferred without context against Rajiv Gandhi H

T

his statement is issued by me to clear the lies being spread by the BJP about the involvement of Rajiv Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, in the massacre of Sikhs in 1984. The day Indira Gandhi was assassinated, (31st October 1984) I was in Delhi with Dr. S.C. Jamir, the then Chief Minister of Nagaland. I was Press Secretary to Chief Minister, Nagaland.

The day Indira Gandhi was assassinated, the Chief Minister and I were to meet Indira Gandhi at 4 PM. That day Gandhi was giving an interview to some foreign journalists and all the appointments with the Prime Minister was cancelled except the appointment of Nagaland Chief Minister.

Because of this, the Enquiry Commission of Indira Gandhi assassination, summoned me to appear before the Commission to be questioned. I was questioned by two officers of the Commission in Nagaland House Delhi. They questioned me, why our appointment was not cancelled and who had requested for the appointment.

That evening Rajiv Gandhi was sworn in as the Prime Minister of India. Dr. S.C. Jamir and I went to the Prime Minister’s residence in the evening. After we reached the residence, Rajiv Gandhi came to the residence from Rashtrapathi Bhavan.

Along with us Vasantdada Patil, Chief Minister of Maharashtra, JB Patnaik, Chief Minister of Orissa, K Karunakaran, Chief Minister of Kerala, GK Moopnar, General Secretary, AICC and Amitab Bachan were present at PM’s residence. Rajiv Gandhi came and met all of us. He was very sad and emotional.

Immediately after his arrival, he was talking to the Chief Ministers and instructing them to go back to their respective States that night itself and ensure that no Sikh persons should be harmed in their States.

He was even telling them to avail Air Force Aircrafts, in case they cannot get a regular flight. That was his concern for the people.

Unlike many of today’s politicians, he was a decent and kindhearted Gentle man. I was really pained to hear the accusation made by BJP against such kind of an innocent soul. Since I was a witness to his actions on that night, when his mother’s dead body was still lying in AIMS, I thought I must tell the Nation the truth.

Very few sons will have that kind of courage to be concerned about the people, who killed his own mother. That kind of blood is running in the body of Rahulji and Priyankaji and that is why they still love the people who are spreading wild accusations against them day and night.

istory has always been an indispensable part of Indian society.

People across India daily begin their day with chants that have their origin in the Bronze Age and pepper their conversation with epics that have been told and re-told since the Iron Age. Indian politics is no different. From tinkering with city names to making grandiose claims of past achievements, revisiting the past has become a common practice.

The exercise, in a sense, has become about finding glory in the past.

The most recent brushes with history on the political front have been in the form of attempts to magnify or diminish the stature of personalities of the past. An apparent effort on similar lines with regards to Jawaharlal Nehru’s legacy has generated impassioned conversations in the media during this election season. Nehru has often been at the receiving end of historical reproval. During such times it is instructive to revisit American moral and political philosopher John Rawls, who had crucial insights to offer on how to assess historical figures.

An important argument that Rawls makes is that the giants of the past should be understood in the context of their times rather than ours.

The benefit of hindsight is usually an unfair vantage point to pass judgements on the actions made by people in the past. Nehru is an appropriate case in point. His posthumous legacy has often taken a hit for a wide variety of reasons. Most recently, in the case of Masood Azhar, the blame for China’s initial stance to block the UN resolution to designate him as a global terrorist was alluded

to him. The “original sin” on Nehru’s part has been his support for China’s membership into the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) despite India being seemingly offered the position twice.

It would, however, be a more objective to look at Nehru’s position in the context of his times. The idea of India being a permanent member of UNSC was first floated in 1950 by the US. The UNSC had been formed a few years ago after the end of the Second World War with the US, the Soviet Union, the UK, China and France as its permanent members.

However, things became complicated after the communist revolution in China in 1949.

The old leadership escaped to modern-day Taiwan, forming the Republic of China (RoC).

Meanwhile, a new communist leadership established the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in mainland China. As US foreign policy was driven by curbing the spread of communism, it did not recognise the legitimacy of the PRC and ROC continued to represent China at the UNSC. In January 1950, the USSR even walked out of the UN in protest against the US refusal to recognise the PRC. It was in this backdrop that the US approached Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, Nehru’s sister and diplomat, with the idea of unseating China from the UNSC and putting India in her place. India was seeming to be a potential ally for the US in an Asia that was rapidly becoming red. This seemed even more plausible after India supported a few US-backed resolutions in the UNSC to thwart North Korean aggression in the Korean War. But to the US offer, Nehru responded to Pandit saying: “India because

of many factors, is certainly entitled to a permanent seat in the Security Council. But we are not going in at the cost of China.” Nehru held the UN to be a robust forum for conflict resolution and its sound functioning required it to be truly representative of the world’s nation states. So, the representation of PRC at the UN was a vital component of his foreign policy.

He also did not wish to build any animosity with India’s biggest neighbour by delving into Cold War politics.

Moreover, by the time the idea was put forward, USSR was back in the UNSC and even if India would have responded positively, the Soviets would have vetoed it. So, the matter ended there.

In 1955, Soviet Prime Minister Nikolai Bulganin brought up the same issue on Nehru’s visit to Moscow.

Their exchange has been recorded in verbatim. It has not been reproduced here for the sake of brevity but when Bulganin indicated that Soviets have considered proposing India’s place in the Security Council, Nehru responded by saying that this would only create tensions between India and China, and

it should not be done until China’s admission into the body. In response, Bulganin agreed that it was not the right time to push for India’s membership. The exchange gives the impression that the Soviets were only testing India’s views on the matter and the offer was not sincere.

Even if it was, the US would have vetoed it since India’s relations with them had deteriorated by then.

Thus, India was seemingly offered the UNSC membership twice but in both cases the offer could not have materialised since multiple forces were at play. History can, therefore, be a tough taskmaster if inferred without context. The history wars that are increasingly taking place in the current political arena should be wary of such limited outlook. It is crucial that through these dialogues, Rawls’ reasoning be followed and sweeping judgements with the benefit of hindsight be avoided. When history is distorted to be used for partisan battles, the people risk losing their touch with the past and with it a sense of commonality and belonging.

Need for more specialized courses in Nagaland colleges Sir,

Now that the results are out and a lot of universities and colleges are flocking to Nagaland to get students from the state, the state government has to seriously think about introducing more specialized courses like journalism, fine arts, hospitality and tourism etc in the state. This way, students can save a lot of money from having to study outside the state.

SC issues notice to centre on Zeliang disappointed at delay in Vajpayee wanted to sack death penalty in SC/ST cases solving Naga political issue Modi in 2002 : Sinha BHOPAL, MAY 10 (PTI): Former BJP leader Yashwant Sinha Friday claimed the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee was set to dismiss Narendra Modi, Gujarat Chief Minister at the time, after the 2002 post-Godhra riots, but withheld the decision as Home Minister L K Advani had threatened to resign from the Cabinet on the issue.

Speaking at a meetthe-press programme here, the former Union finance minister also dismissed as a non-issue the controversy over the alleged misuse of INS Viraat by former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.

“After the communal riots in Gujarat, Atal Bihari Vajpayee had decided that then state chief minister Narendra Modi should resign.

“While going to the national executive committee meeting in Goa in 2002, Atal ji had made up his mind that the Gujarat government would be dismissed if Modi ji refused to resign,” he claimed.

“There was a meeting within the party. According to my information, Advani ji had opposed this (dismissing the Modi government) and he told Atal ji that if

Yashwant Sinha

Modi ji is dismissed then he (Advani) would resign from the government. So, he (Vajpayee) withheld the decision and Modi ji continued,” Sinha said.

In reply to a query on Modi’s allegation that Rajiv Gandhi used INS Viraat as a “personal taxi”, Sinha said these are non-issues and that former naval officers had already issued clarifications on it.

“It is not as per the dignity of a prime minister to speak lies like this,” Sinha said, adding the Lok Sabha polls were being fought on the Modi government’s performance and not on the country’s history.

Sinha, a member of the Vajpayee cabinet, hit out at Modi for raising the issue of Pakistan in the general elections. “It is unfortunate that the issue of Pakistan is

NEW DELHI, MAY 10 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Friday issued a notice to the Centre on a plea challenging the validity of a section which prescribes for mandatory death sentence in a case where an innocent member of a Scheduled Caste (SC) or a Scheduled Tribe (ST) is convicted and is executed as a consequence of false and fabricated evidence given by the accused.

The action of a bench headed by Justice S.A. Bobde came on a public interest litigation (PIL) challenging the mandatory death penalty under section 3(2)(i) of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The plea was filed by advocate Rishi Malhotra.

The advocate told the court that the provision is “manifestly arbitrary, disproportionate, excessive, unreasonable, unjust, unfair, harsh, unusual and

cruel”.

Under Section 3(2)(i) of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, whoever, not being a member of SC/ST, gives or fabricates false evidence intending thereby to cause any member of SC/ST to be convicted of an offence which is capital by the law for the time being in force shall be punished with imprisonment for life, and with fine, and if an innocent member of SC/ST is convicted and executed in consequence of such false or fabricated evidence, the person who gives or fabricates such false evidence, shall be punished with death.

The petitioner requested the court to strike down the provision with regard to mandatory death penalty as prescribed under Section 3(2)(i) of The Scheduled Castes & The Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act 1989.

being raised in the elections.

He hyphenated our country with Pakistan.

“Are we a country of Pakistan’s category? There is no talk about China, which must be feeling happy with the Pakistan rhetoric,” claimed the former foreign minister.

“This is being done because China’s mention doesn’t generate a reaction like that of Pakistan does,” he added.

Accusing the Modi government of playing “mischief ” with statistics, Sinha said GDP data during the previous UPA government was higher than during the current NDA government.

“The next government will get a broken economy,” the bureaucrat-turned-politician said.

Sinha blamed Modi for lowering the language of the political discourse.

“It is expected from a PM to use dignified language but this is not happening,” Sinha alleged.

He said the elections to the Bhopal Lok Sabha seat would determine the future course of country, and whether it wanted to go for social harmony or social divide.

(From p-1) He said they will continue to picket the office till they get a response to their letter or the matter was resolved.

It may be noted that the suspended members had threatened to lock the office during the joint meeting with central office bearers and legislature in-charge of Mon on May 2.

Meanwhile, when asked if the party would reopen eyes. Today India wants to know whose ‘chowkidari’ its locked Mon divisional office, NPF general secretary Hongnao stated that, being law abiding and a peace did the PM do.

Zeliang further noted that if the outgoing team had set a good precedence for the youth, then the new team must carry forward the aspirations of the coming generation. And wherever they had gone wrong, he said these should be considered as history and must not be repeated in the future.

In this fast changing world where issues relating to welfare of the student community are diverse, the primary focus must be well-defined according to a given situation, he added.

concern for Nagaland: Patton

(From p-1) He stated that Bhandari has been a witness and a victim that has borne the brunt of the unfortunate confrontation with neighbouring state in 1985. Although much understanding has been gained for a peaceful co-existence through the initiatives of Border Peace Committee and civil societies from both the neighbouring states, the

deputy chief minister said the border issue has not been resolved. He, however, said that since peace was a pre-requisite for mutual growth, “we must continue to uphold the peaceful atmosphere that is prevailing in the area till the matter is resolved amicably.” Patton also called upon the NSF and the younger generation to be actively involved in exploring peace along the border areas as well.

The deputy chief minister further reminded the NSF and the gathering to ponder upon the challenges faced by the people living in the border areas and the opportunities it offers in terms of social amity and economic opportunities that will benefit people living on both sides.

Meanwhile, Patton congratulated the newly elected office bearers of the NSF for the tenure 2019-21.

This is because all qualified students with merit cannot be accommodated in government white-colour jobs alone, he added.

(From p-1) Cautioning against dragging the student community into any turmoil that are politically stagemanaged, Zeliang said NSF, being the apex student body, should crosscheck a given situation to refrain the students from getting involved in any kind of “conspiracy game plans”.

Urging the federation to take up measures and direct students to cast their votes in their respective places where their names are enrolled, the former chief minister said one fails to understand why the turnout of students and church leaders are very poor in every election.

If everyone was really concerned in doing away with corrupt system in the State, he said the first step should be that every student and church member must vote, instead of allowing someone to purchase votes for proxy-voting. And he cited this as the root cause of corruption.

New Delhi, May 10 (PTI): India’s industrial production contracted by 0.1 per cent in March this year, the lowest in 21 months, mainly due to manufacturing sector slow down, official data showed Friday.

On annual basis, IIP growth slowed to three-year low of 3.6 per cent in the 2018-19 fiscal as against 4.4 per cent in the previous fiscal. Industrial production growth was 4.6 per cent and 3.3 per cent in 2016-17 and 2015-16, respectively.

Kumar said though resolution for the three major accounts from the first RBI list--Essar Steel, Bhushan Power & Steel and Alok Industries--are in very advanced stage, the bank still made 100 percent provisions for them and expects to recover around Rs 16,000 crore from these accounts once the judicial process is over.

The bank has an exposure of Rs 3,487 crore to IL&FS, of which Rs 1,125 crore have become NPAs, he said, adding the bank has made 50 percent provision for the exposure.

On the spooked NBFC sector, Kumar said the stress shadow banking sector is not over yet and it would be very unfortunate if any default happens and warned that “we have to be very mindful and watchful of the NBFC sector.”

In FY19, the bank purchased Rs 19,000 crore of loans from NBFCs he added.

Going forward the lender is looking to list its two subsidiaries--SBI Card and SBI General Insurance, he said.

The SBI counter was star performer with a 3 percent rally to close at Rs 308.05 on BSE, which ended in the red for the eighth day in a row at 37,462.99.

He said the bank is expecting better performance in the first quarter of the current financial year and has sect a credit growth targeting of 10-12 percent for FY20.

The bottomline was also boosted by a 20 bps jump in the domestic net interest margin that rose to 3.02 percent in the reporting quarter from 2.82 percent, Kumar said.

Gross non-performing asset improved to 7.53 percent at 1,72,750 crore in the March quarter, Rs from 10.91 percent or Rs 2,23427 crore a year ago, while net NPAs came down to 3.01 percent or Rs 65,895 crore from 5.73 percent or Rs 1,10,855 crore, while fresh slippages stood at Rs 7,505 crore, while for the full year it was Rs 32,738 crore.

Kumar said during the year, cash recovery was at an all time high of Rs 37,000 crore, of which Rs 13,836 crore came in from the IBC process.

Mumbai, May 10 (PTI): Better asset quality and a 100 bps dip in credit cost helped the largest lender State Bank Friday report a net income of Rs 838 crore for the March quarter as against a net loss of Rs 7,718 crore a year ago, and also guide towards sunnier days.

For the full year to March, SBI, which controls a fourth of the nation’s banking system, booked a net income of Rs 862 crore as against a net loss of Rs 6,547 crore. The management attributed the lower profit to the 100 percent provisions made for some key stressed accounts which are near the full resolution.

“The bank has delivered an excellent performance on all parameters.

The turnaround has happened. The improvement in asset quality is visible.

Both the gross bad loans and net dud assets ratios are substantially down,” chairman Rajnish Kumar told reporters.

The credit cost improved by a full 100 bps to 2.66 percent from 3.62 percent a year-ago and for fresh slippages the credit cost was 0.52 percent, he said.

Guiding towards sunnier days, Kumar said, “we have not left anything for the future. The remaining

Mumbai, May 10 (PTI): Snapping its four-session losing run, the rupee ticked higher by 2 paise to finish at 69.92 against the US dollar Friday.

Forex traders said the domestic unit recovered in the later part of the day amid reports that the US is expected to remove India from its currency manipulation watch list.

According to media reports, the US Treasury Department may name Vietnam as a currency manipulator and is expected to remove India and South Korea from its watch list.

However, rising crude oil prices in the overseas market, sustained foreign fund outflows and continuing sell-off in the domestic equity market weighed on the rupee, forex traders added.

At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (forex) market, the local unit opened at 70.04. It moved in a range of 70.07 to 69.76 before finally ending at 69.92, up 2 paise over its previous close.

The rupee had settled at 69.94 against the US dollar Thursday.

During the week, the rupee fell by 70 paise.

The trade war between the world’s two largest economies escalated on Friday after the US more than doubled tariffs on USD 200 billion worth of Chinese products, prompting Beijing to threaten retaliation.

Kim orders stronger strike power door open for North Korea to return to talks, says US

SEOUL, May 10 (Agencies): The leader of North Korea ordered its military to boost its strike capability as he directed another missile firing, state media said on Friday, as tensions grew over tests that appeared to show development of a new advanced missile system.

Kim Jong Un’s call for a “full combat posture” follows the U.S. seizure of a large North Korean cargo ship accused of illicit coal shipments in violation of U.N. sanctions.

The increased tensions come amid a gridlock in dialogue after the second summit between Kim and U.S. President Donald Trump collapsed over U.S. demands for Pyongyang’s nuclear disarmament and Kim’s demands for relief from sanctions. “(Kim) stressed the need to further increase the capability of the defence units in the forefront area and on the western front to carry out combat tasks and keep full combat posture to cope with any emergency,” KCNA news agency reported.

He noted “genuine peace and security of the country are guaranteed only by the strong physical force capable of defending its sovereignty,” KCNA said, adding he “set forth important tasks for further increasing the strike ability.”

The test of two shortrange missiles on Thursday and the firing of a series of projectiles on Saturday were the first missile launches

by the North since an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in November 2017.

Kim later declared the building of its nuclear force was complete and went on to hold three summit meetings with South Korean President Moon Jae-in and two with Trump.

Both Trump and Moon said the latest missile tests were not helpful but suggested they would not scupper dialogue.

“I know they want to negotiate, they’re talking about negotiating. But I don’t think they’re ready to negotiate,” Trump told reporters.

“They were smaller missiles, they were shortrange missiles,” he said.

“Nobody’s happy about it but we’re taking a good look

and we’ll see.”

The latest tests were swiftly followed by U.S. test-launches of the intercontinental ballistic missile Minuteman III over the Pacific and the Trident II submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) off Florida.

They also coincided with a visit to the South by U.S. special envoy for North Korea Stephen Biegun, who met his South Korean counterpart and was scheduled to hold talks with presidential Blue House and Unification Ministry officials.

During his meeting with South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha on Friday, Biegun said, “the door is still open for North Korea to return to the negotiating table,” and that it is very important for South

Korea and the United States to continue communication and cooperation, the ministry said in a statement.

Thursday’s missiles were fired from Kusong, northwest of the capital Pyongyang. One missile flew 420 km (260 miles) and the other 270 km (168 miles), both reaching an altitude of about 50 km (30 miles) before falling into the sea, South Korea’s military said.

North Korean state media did not give details of the missiles.

South Korean and U.S. military analysts will try to determine if the Russian-development Iskander short-range ballistic missile system was used, Ahn Gyubaek, the defence committee chairman in South Korea’s parliament, told reporters.

Magnitude 6.3 quake hits Japan TOKYO, May 10 (Agencies): A strong 6.3-magnitude earthquake hit southern Japan Friday, the US Geological Survey said, but Japanese authorities said there was no tsunami threat.

The Japan earthquake struck at 8:48 am in Pacific waters nearly 40 kilometres (25 miles) east-southeast of Miyazaki city at a depth of 24 km, according to the agency. The Japan Meteorological Agency said there were no worries about tsunami damage.

The weather agency issued an emergency warning when the earthquake hit, prompting public broadcaster NHK to switch to special programming on the situation in the southern Kyushu region, including Miyazaki.

The initial earthquake was followed by another, of 5.1 magnitude, at 9:07 am in the same area, according to the USGS. Local media reported no damage in Miyazaki and its surrounding areas.

Japan sits at the junction of four tectonic plates and experiences a number of relatively violent earthquakes every year.

Ex-Interpol chief to face trial in China Beijing, May 10 (IANS): Former Interpol President Meng Hongwei will face trial in the Chinese city of Tianjin for accepting bribes, authorities said on Friday.

The Supreme People’s Procuratorate said on its website that the National Supervisory Commission had concluded its investigation into the alleged corrupt acts of Meng and that his case would be tried in the Tianjin No 1 Intermediate People’s Court without specifying when the trial would start. According to the announcement, the accused abused his position as a Vice Minister of Public Security and head of the maritime police to receive a large number of bribes.

The statement added that the amounts involved were huge and that Meng should face criminal charges in accordance with the law, Efe news reported.

On April 24 this year, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate announced the issuance of a formal arrest warrant for Meng, who was held without formal charges and whose whereabouts were unknown since September.

Earlier on March 26, it emerged that Meng had

Meng Hongwei (File) been expelled from the Communist Party of China and stripped of all of his positions for allegedly committing serious violations of the party’s law and discipline.

The former Interpol chief mysteriously disappeared after boarding a plane heading to China on September 25, 2018. Meng’s family lost track of him, and his wife Grace, who lives in France, reported him missing and called for help.

After several days of silence and under pressure from the international community, which demanded explanations from China about Meng’s whereabouts, the National Supervisory Commission, a Chinese anti-corruption agency, con-

firmed in early October that Meng was being detained.

Later, Inter pol announced the departure of its President with immediate effect after Meng resigned from office in a letter.

Chinese law stipulates that the police have the authority to hold suspects accused of national security offences or accused of terrorism or bribery without communication and in a secret location for up to six months, a regulation that, in many cases, applies to dissidents or activists.

Since President Xi Jinping came to power in 2013, China has tried several senior officials for receiving bribes in its anti-corruption campaign.

4 arrested in connection with Lahore suicide bombing L a h o r e , M ay 1 0 (IANS): Four suspects believed to be involved in the Lahore Sufi shrine bombing that killed 12 people have been arrested.

The suspects were picked up on Thursday night when the security forces raided Lahore’s Garhi Shahu area after tracing the alleged suicide bomber to

the locality, Dawn online reported on Friday.

The suspects are believed to have been in contact with the individuals behind the suicide blast which targeted a police patrol stationed outside the entrance of Data Darbar shrine and claimed the lives of a dozen people including six police officials.

Officials said one of the arrested suspects was a rickshaw driver who transported the teenage suicide bomber to Data Darbar.

They said investigators had pieced together CCTV footage from across the city to determine the movement of the attacker. The Thursday raid focused on a tea stall which opened in the Garhi

Shahu area a little over three months ago, according to the Express Tribune. The stall came to investigators’ attention after the bomber was seen there in one of the CCTV clips.

T h e We d n e s d a y bombing on the shrine was claimed by the Hizbul Ahrar, a splinter group of the Pakistani Taliban.

At least 50 migrants drown off Tunisia coast renewed warfare between rival factions has gripped the capital Tripoli in the past five weeks. It put the number of victims at 50, with 16 survivors.

The boat sank 40 miles off the coast of Sfax, south of the capital Tunis, the Tunisian agency said. Fishing boats rescued the survivors, it said.

The Tunisian Defence Ministry said the boat had left from the Libyan port of

Zouara on Thursday aiming to reach Italy. Navy units have recovered only three bodies so far, it said in a statement.

“Another tragedy in the Mediterranean,” the IOM said.

Libya’s western coast is a main departure point for migrants from across Africa hoping to reach Europe by paying human traffickers, though numbers have dropped due to an

Italian-led effort to disrupt smuggling networks and support the Libyan coast guard.

Earlier on Friday, UNHCR spokesman Babar Baloch said the United Nations had repeatedly voiced its concerns about the lack of boats to pick up migrants and refugees fleeing from “the horrendous and horrible situation” in Libya.

It called on governments to step in.

What if someone links you Atishi complains to DCW; Sisodia threatens counter-suit to Godhra: Amarinder to PM

Patiala, May 10 (PTI): Hitting out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for targeting the Congress and the Gandhi family over the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Friday said what if someone linked the PM with the 2002 riots in Gujarat’s Godhra.

“It is wrong of Modi to connect (former prime minister) Rajiv Gandhi with the anti-Sikh riots of 1984.

What if someone starts linking Modi with Godhra,” he told reporters here. Singh said it did not behove the prime minister of the country to “stoop” to such levels for winning elections. He asserted that the involvement of some individuals in the 1984 riots did not mean that Modi could implicate Rajiv Gandhi or the Congress party in it.

“By the same yardstick, Modi should also have been implicated in the Godhra attack,” the chief minister said, while asking the prime minister to refrain from “undermining the prestige of his position with such crude and baseless statements”.

Amarinder Singh (File)

“Modi should not forget that the names of several BJP and RSS leaders had figured in the 1984 riots FIR,” he said, calling for action in accordance with law against all those found responsible for the mayhem unleashed on innocent Sikhs.

“Modi is unnecessarily dragging Rajiv Gandhi’s name to court controversies and divert attention, with his lies, from the real issues,” Singh said. Asked about Congress leader Sam Pitroda’s reported statement on the 1984 riots, he said, “If Pitroda has actually said this, it is shocking.”

Asked about the 1984 riots, Pitroda had reportedly said, “’84 mein hua to hua.”

Describing the riots, which took place in the aftermath of then prime minister Indira Gandhi’s assassination

by her Sikh bodyguards, as a big tragedy and stressing that justice was yet to be meted out to the victims, Singh said, “If some leaders were involved in the riots, they should be punished as per law.”

The chief minister asserted that since the riots, he had been saying that he had heard accusations about the involvement of Sajjan Kumar, HKL Bhagat, Dharam Das Shastri, Lalit Maken and Arjun Das, adding that he stood by his statement.

Slamming Modi, Singh said the prime minister had not uttered a single word on the work done by his government in the last five years.

Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had been totally exposed and were now clutching at non-existent straws in their desperation to get back into the poll race, he said. The senior Congress leader chastised Modi for claiming credit for the action of the armed forces for “political gains”, saying in his political career of 50 years, he had never seen a prime minister stooping to such levels.

New Delhi, May 10 (PTI): AAP’s East Delhi candidate Atishi on Friday complained to the Delhi Commission for Women over an “obscene and derogatory” pamphlet targeting her distributed in the constituency, saying she holds the BJP and her rival from the party Gautam Gambhir directly responsible.

Gambhir had rejected the charge and sent a notice to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, his deputy Manish Sisodia and Atishi for alleged defamation, demanding that they withdraw the allegation and tender an unconditional apology over the matter Sisodia on Friday threatened to file a countersuit in the matter and said he would be sending a notice for defamation to him.

“We are the ones being defamed, we will file a defamation case against him,” he said.

Atishi on Thursday broke down while reading the pamphlet against her, that she alleged has been distributed in the constituency at the behest Gambhir, a charge denied by the cricketer-turned-politician. The BJP alleged that the AAP was staging such incidents.

Atishi submitted her complaint to the DCW in which she called it a text book case of character assassination of a woman who has chosen to enter public life.

She claimed no other entity except the BJP and Gambhir “stood to gain from spreading such virulently hateful propaganda against a woman”.

“Ever since I took the plunge into active politics, I faced a fair amount of attacks and criticism from political rivals and I had learnt to take it with a pinch of salt.

“However, earlier this week, a most disturbing pamphlet was brought to my notice by our well-wishers who received the pamphlet by post, and other means such as newspaper inserts and distribution in parks,” she said in the letter to the DCW. She said the contents of the pamphlet have been attached to this complaint.

“The contents of this complaint cannot be reproduced by me because they’re a combination of communal, misogynistic, casteist slurs and falsehoods against me, the elected Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi,” she said.

Atishi Marlena (File)

“There can be no doubt about the fact that the BJP and Gautam Gambhir are directly responsible for this as there is no other entity that stood to gain from spreading such virulently hateful propaganda against a woman. This is a text book case of character assassination of a woman who has chosen to enter public life,” she said in the letter.

Atishi said she is extremely pained that she has become the latest target of the regressive mindset that does not believe women can be equal citizens and have equal opportunity.

“I am writing to you to seek your urgent intervention in the matter in order to ensure that there is a thorough and independent investigation into the matter

by all agencies and that this act will not go unpunished.

I urge you to assist me in this fight against those who have chosen to use sick and misogynistic tactics in this election,” she added.

Gambhir, in a series of tweets, said he is “ashamed” to have Arvind Kejriwal as chief minister and he would withdraw his candidature if the charge against him is proved.

“You can’t tarnish someone’s image without proof. I have never given a negative statement against any opposition candidate in my election campaigning,” he said in a press statement.

Gambhir on Friday said he will “hang” himself in public if the Aam Aadmi Party can prove that he has any link to the derogatory

pamphlet. However, support poured in for Atishi from various quarters, with Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav saying the pamphlet is a “new, distressing and disturbing low”.

“The BJP needs to realise that it’s better to lose with dignity than to lose all dignity,” he said in a tweet.

Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani, who has been campaigning for Atishi, said the pamphlet is “bigotry” and “hateful to the core”.

Targeting the BJP and Gambhir, he tweeted, “Even if the party and candidates like him don’t officially peddle or endorse it, their supporters online surely do.

They tell me in comments to go clean gutters, while such progressive women face misogynist, casteist, communal abuses.”

Actress Swara Bhasker said people should give a befitting reply in the upcoming polls to those who made Atishi cry.

“East Delhi, you should exact revenge of the tears brought in the eyes of Delhi’s daughter by voting for her. People who do not respect women, what respect would they show to their daughters,” she said in a tweet.

No MLA will quit Congress & join BJP, says Siddaramaiah Clashes erupt in Srinagar, Sopore

DC-689

Bengaluru, May 10 (PTI): Asserting that the Congress-JD(S) coalition government will be stable, coordination committee chief and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah Friday said no MLA would leave the grand old party and go with the BJP. “BJP people are lying; no MLA will go with them.... the government that is there will be stable,” Siddaramaiah told reporters in Kalburgi district.

Alleging that Yeddyurappa has “lust” for power, he said “he had to resign in three days as

Chief Minister. he should be ashamed...but still he is claiming repeatedly that he will become Chief Minister, 20 MLAs will come. From where will they come?”

“No one (is disgruntled in Congress), disgruntled are in the BJP,” the CLP leader said and asked whether the BJP would’buy” their MLAs and where they would get the money for that.

Siddaramaiah’s response came following Yeddyurappa’s statement that the longevity of the Congress-JDS coalition

Siddaramaiah (File)

government in the state would depend on the stand taken by about 20 “disgruntled” Congress legislators after the Lok Sabha

poll results on May 23.

Karnataka Pradesh Congress President Dinesh Gundu Rao too hit out at Yeddyurappa and said no one would leave the party.

He said, “Does his (Yeddyurappa) word have any value? Has he been able to do what he has been claiming? Every time he keeps uttering that the government will fall, we have so many people...

We have also heard his tapes, promising Rs 20 crore to lure MLAs, where will he get the money from, who is giving?”

Rao was referring

to the controversial audio tapes, which came out in February this year, showing Yeddyurappa in a purported conversation to lure a JD(S) MLA in his alleged attempt to topple the Congress-JDS government.

The government has said it will get the audio clip investigated by a Special Investigation Team.

“20 Legislators or anybody else, no one will go. It is also not possible.

After the May 23 results, government will become much stronger and continue,” he added.

Six youths sustained injuries.

Modi slams Cong over Pitroda’s remarks

Rohtak (Har)/Shimla, May 10 (PTI/IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday kept up his attack on the Congress, this time using the party leader Sam Pitroda’s remarks over 1984 anti-Sikh riots to target the opposition, saying this “shows character and mentality” of the party.

Addressing a poll rally on the last day of campaigning for the sixth phase, Modi said his government has led the country on path of progress and cautioned people to beware of Congress and its allies.

“How Congress ran this country for 70 years, how their mind works, how they are filled with arrogance, they themselves yesterday summed this up in three words…

“Congress, which ruled for maximum period, has been so much insensitive and that is reflected by the three words spoken yesterday. These words have not been spoken just like that, these words are the character, mentality and intentions of the Congress”.

“And which were these words, these were ‘hua to hua’,” said Modi referring to Pitroda’s remarks made on Thursday on anti-Sikh riots of 84 “Hua to hua,” Modi repeated a number of times during the course of his

Narendra Modi (File)

speech. “We can very well understand arrogance of Congress and those who run it in these three words—hua to Hua,” said Modi.

“Yesterday, one of the tallest leaders of the Congress speaking in a loud voice on 1984 said ‘84 ka danga hua to hua’. Do you know who this leader is, he is very close to the Gandhi family, he keeps meeting them on daily basis and is their biggest confidant. This leader was very good friend of (late) Rajiv Gandhi and he is Guru of Congress ‘naamdar’ (dynast) president,” he said.

“For them, they have no value for life, for them a human being is not a human being,” said Modi in scathing attack on Congress.

Asked about the 1984 riots, Pitroda had said: “84 mein hua to hua.”

Pitroda posted multiple

photos from his May-8 visit to the Golden Temple in Amritsar and called the visit a “divine life time experience and learning on the history of this great religion”.

Notably, Har yana, where polling for ten seats will be held on Sunday, has sizeable presence of Sikhs.

From Rohtak, a stronghold of the Hooda family, BJP has fielded a former MP Arvind Sharma to take on Congress’s sitting MP Deepender Singh Hooda.

Modi also raked up alleged irregularities in land deals during previous B S Hooda led regime to target the Hoodas and the Congress. Hooda senior is contesting from Sonipat.

Targeting the Congress on Sikh riots issue, Modi said that thousands of Sikhs were killed including over 2800 in Delhi alone..... “but

Congress is saying ‘hua to hua’.”

“Some top Congress leaders faced charges of hatching a conspiracy and for being part of the riots, but Congress is saying ‘hua to hua’.

“With this arrogance, Congress has ruled the country. This is just one part of the deeds of the Congress’ dynasts and because of these deeds 21st century India restricted them to 44 seats and this time the country is not ready to help them win even these many seats,” Modi, who has kept Congress and the Gandhi family at the centre of his attacks during elections, said.

He claimed that to promote one family, capable persons are insulted in Congress and not allowed to rise.

Modi also claimed that peasant leader Sir Chotu Ram had conceived Bhakra Nangal Dam project, but was never given any credit for it.

“Now, limits have been crossed as some people for votes and cheap political gains are insulting such a great personality (Sir Chotu Ram) and people will teach them a lesson,” the Prime Minister said.

Attacking the Gandhi family, he said this is such a family “where corruption is the culture”.

Pitroda apologises for remark on 1984 anti-Sikh riots

Congress leader Sam Pitroda, who had courted controversy for his remark in connection with the anti-Sikh riots of 1984, apologised on Friday for his comment, saying his statement was taken out of context as his Hindi was not good.

On Thursday, Indian Oversees Congress chief Pitroda had brushed off the 1984 anti-Sikh riots by saying, “hua toh hua” (it just happened).

“The statement I made was completely twisted and taken out of context because my Hindi isn’t good.

What I meant was ‘jo hua woh bura hua’ (what happened was bad), but I could not translate ‘bura’ (bad) in my mind,” Pitroda told reporters here on Friday.

Pitroda’s apolog y came after BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Sikh organisations flayed his for his comment.

“Yesterday, one of the top Congress leaders said the 1984 riots ‘hua toh hua’. These three words sum up the arrogance of the Congress,” Modi said at election rallies in Rohtak in Haryana and Mandi in Himachal Pradesh.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur SATURDAY, MAY 11, 2019

Alwar gangrape case: SC/ST Commission wants action against cops Alwar/Jaipur, May 10 (PTI): National SC/ST Commission Vice Chairman L Murgan on Friday recommended that an FIR be registered against police officers whose alleged negligence led to delay in action in the Alwar gang rape case.

Murgan along with Commission secretary Pritam Singh, Rajasthan Chief Secretary D B Gupta and DGP Kapil Garg held a meeting in Alwar to review the progress in the case, which has triggered widespread outrage in Rajasthan.

“I have asked that negligent police officers should be booked under section 4 of SC/ST Act, charge sheet should be filed within 15 days and the case should be monitored on a daily basis.

The family has demanded government job. I have asked the district magistrate to see how it can be provided,” Murgan told reporters in Alwar after the meeting.

The victim’s husband had claimed that he had approached the police on April 26 after the incident, but an FIR was filed on May 2. He had alleged that the police did not take action saying that they were busy with elections.

On Tuesday night, the Rajasthan government

removed Alwar Superintendent of Police Rajiv Pachar and suspended SHO of the Thanagazi police station Sardar Singh while four policemen were taken off active duty.

Murgan said that a compensation of Rs 4,12,500 has been paid to the woman victim apart from Rs 50,000 provided by the women and child development department. The victim’s family submitted a memorandum for speedy trial, compensation and government job.

The Commission has also asked the state government to check how the victim’s husband can be provided compensation under SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, he added.

Meanwhile, protests continued in parts of the state including in Makrana of Nagaur district and Kota where people demanded strict action against the accused. Police have arrested all six accused -- Indra Raj Gurjar, Mahesh Gurjar, Ashok Gurjar, Hansraj Gurjar, Chhote Lal Gurjar and Mukesh Gurjar -- on charges of gang rape and filming the crime.

On April 26, the victim was riding pillion on a motorcycle with her husband when the accused, who were on two bikes, accosted them

at Thanagazi-Alwar bypass and took them to an isolated place off. They allegedly beat up the husband and raped her in front of him, threatening them of dire consequences.

Mukesh Gurjar allegedly filmed the incident in his mobile phone. The victims went to the police when the accused demanded money for not circulating the video on social media, but the FIR was lodged only on May 2.

With the Congress government in the state facing flak over the incident, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said that the culprits of the heinous crime will not be spared and speedy trial will be ensured.

He said that the state government will make arrangements that an FIR can be filed at the Superintendent of Police (SP) office itself if the SHO concerned does not file the first information report and investigate complaints.

“We are going to take an important decision that if an SHO doesn’t file FIR then there will be a provision that FIR can be filed at SP office and it will be monitored why the FIR was not filed at the police station concerned and action will be taken.

NAGALAND RMSA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION MOKOKCHUNG

Nagaland RMSA Teachers Association Mokokchung Unit lauds the outstanding performance of RMSA upgraded schools in Mokokchung District in the recently declared HSLC Examination results. As per reports, preceding years shows a meagre 25%- 30% pass percentage but when in 2016, RMSA subject teachers were engaged in 20 upgraded schools, it changed the fate of Government schools with a record of improved HSLC results from the following year i.e; 2017: 54%, 2018:67.5% and in 2019: 63%. It is important to note that out of 8 government schools that secured 100% pass percentage in the district in 2019, 5 schools were of RMSA upgraded schools, i.e:; GHS Saring, GHS Dibuia, GHS Unger, GHS Khar and GHS Longjang. Despite the grim reality of being unpaid for 7 months and being imposed with downgraded salary, it is undeniable that RMSA teachers have been consistently performing their duties well and the results are a testament of their dedication to the noble profession they have chosen. The RMSA unit Mokokchung congratulates the teachers for their efforts and hardwork and expressed the enthusiasm to continue working with the same zeal and commitment towards carrying out this mammoth task of educating the masses of our nation.

The Trinamool Congress supremo said that when Prime Minister Narendra Modi lands at any place in a helicopter, no mediapersons are allowed to be near it. “Why is this so?” she asked.

Hitting out at Modi, Banerjee, who is among his severest critics, said he has been campaigning extensively in the state. “Your (Modi’s) presence affirms that Trinamool Congress will get all the 42 seats in the states”.

“We (TMC) do not want see a PM who is a liar,” she added. State BJP president Dilip Ghosh when contacted to comment on Banerjee’s charges said the hawala allegations by the her are “baselesss”.

“It is TMC ministers and leaders who are distributing money,” he told PTI. Referring to the incident involving Bharati Ghosh, who is the saffron party’s Ghatal candidate, Ghosh said if she is found guilty then the Election Commission will look into it.

“The BJP promised moon to the people five years ago, but failed to keep its various promises including on giving 2 crore jobs to youth, promises made to farmers and other sections,” he said.

In the last assembly polls, the HJC fought sepa-

rately and was reduced to just two seats—Kuldeep Bishnoi won from his father’s traditional Adampur seat of Hisar while his wife Renuka Bishnoi won from Hansi.

The HJC later merged with the Congress.

Bishnoi, whose son Bhavya is the Congress candidate from Hisar Lok Sabha seat, claimed that people have made up their mind to bring a Congressled government to power at the Centre.

“At the national level, see what is the state of economy today, value of the rupee has gone down, prices are soaring, farmers in thousands have committed suicide, unemployment is at its highest peak in over four decades, demonetisation dealt a blow to economy and the way they rolled GST broke the backbone of traders,” he alleged.

Ashoknagar(WB), May 10 (PTI): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Friday alleged that BJP is using the hawala route to transfer money for distribution among the voters and law enforcing agencies are not taking any action in this regard.

The money is being transported under Z plus security and is changing hands through the hawala route among the people, she charged at a poll meeting here in support of TMC’s Barasat Lok Sabha seat candidate Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar.

The BJP has called Banerjee’s charge “baseless”.

“This operation is being carried out by BJP during the night when campaigning is over. It is surprising that no enforcing agency is taking any action. We need to keep a watch on this,” The TMC supremo alleged.

Hisar (Har), May 10 (PTI): Senior Congress leader in Haryana Kuldeep Bishnoi Friday said by bringing former premier Rajiv Gandhi into the picture, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP have shown how “frustrated” they are.

Besides, in a sensational charge, the prime minister Wednesday accused the Gandhi family of using warship INS Viraat as its “personal taxi” when Rajiv Gandhi was the prime minister.

US is in constitutional crisis, says Nancy Pelosi

Washington, May 10 (AFP): House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday the US is in a “constitutional crisis” triggered by President Donald Trump’s refusal to comply with congressional inquiries into his actions, mainly in connection with the Russian election interference probe.

“Trump and his Administration’s decision to ignore the oath of office has triggered a constitutional crisis,” Pelosi, the country’s most powerful Democratic politician, said on Twitter.

“It’s appalling that the Administration is an obstacle to protecting our elections & getting the truth for the American people,” she said. Trump and the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives have been locked in a bitter standoff since the publication late last month of the partially redacted Mueller report on Russian interference in the 2016 election that brought Trump to office.

The report by Special Counsel Robert Mueller found no evidence that Trump criminally colluded with Russia, but Democrats

Nancy Pelosi (File)

have been hotly disputing Trump’s assertion that it also exonerated him of trying to obstruct justice.

With substantial powers to run their own investigations, House Democrats have been demanding a full and unredacted copy of the Mueller report, as well as the president’s tax returns.

Trump has ordered his officials in the Treasury and Justice departments not to comply, putting pressure on the Democrats to launch impeachment proceedings that would grant them greater powers, despite the reluctance of many to take such a divisive and politically fraught path. The Democrats are instead using an

obscure legal move known as “inherent contempt” to try to force Attorney General William Barr to release the full report.

Pelosi told reporters the Democrats want to organise a full vote on the move “as soon as possible.” In a sign that the showdown between the White House and the Democrats is not about to ease off, Pelosi said “there may be some other contempt of Congress issues that we might want to deal with at the same time.” But she was once again reluctant to commit to an impeachment process, saying Democrats “won’t go any faster than the facts take us or any slower than the facts take us.”

Chinese hacker charged for theft of 78.8mn records San Francisco, May 10 (IANS): A Chinese national named Wang Fujie has been charged by the US prosecutors for his alleged involvement in the data breach at health insurance giant Anthem announced in 2015 that resulted in the theft of 78.8 million records.

In one of the “worst data breaches in history”, the names, addresses, dates of birth, employment and income data, Social Security numbers and highly sensitive medical information were stolen.

“Wang Fujie, also known as Dennis Wang, and another individual in the indictment, are alleged to have infiltrated the USbased computer systems of US health insurer Anthem and three other companies, the Justice Department said in a statement on Thursday,” the South China Morning Post reported.

The hackers are said to have stolen the 78 million records over a month between October and November in 2014 by transferring large archive files from Anthem’s data warehouse back to China.

Iran will not hold talks with US: Deputy IRGC chief T e h r a n , M ay 1 0 (IANS): Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the government in Tehran will not hold negotiations with the US after it imposed new sanctions on Tehran, targeting revenue from its exports of industrial metals, officials said on Friday. IRGC’s deputy head of political affairs, Yadollah Javani, said that US President Donald Trump believed that after imposing the new sanctions, Iran would face a state of internal disarray and would eventually seek negotiations.

Javani warned the US against taking any military measures against the Islamic Republic, Tasnim news agency reported.

Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif urged Europe to stand up to the pressure the US had put it under in order to salvage the nuclear deal brokered four years ago.

Zarif called on the European Union to fulfil its obligations to normalize economic relations with his country and said it was to blame for reaching this situation.

“The US has bullied Europe - and rest of world - for a year and EU can only express ‘regret’,” Zarif tweeted.

EU’s Tusk suggests holding another Brexit referendum L o n d o n, M ay 1 0 (Agencies): European Council President Donald Tusk said he sees the chances of Britain staying in the European Union after all at 20-30%, as Britons had begun a genuine debate whether to leave or to remain only after the 2016 Brexit referendum.

In a Polish newspaper interview, Tusk suggested holding another Brexit referendum given the precedent that Britain had already staged two plebiscites on Europe, first in 1975 on whether to stay in the thenEuropean Economic Community that it had joined two years before.

If in 2016 it was possible to change the decision made in 1975, it should be possible to hold a second Brexit referendum, said Tusk, who has often voiced

Donald Tusk and Theresa May

sadness at the outcome of the vote in which 52% voted to leave against 48% to remain. “The real debate on the consequences of Brexit started not before or during the referendum campaign, but after the vote. Today the results would probably look different,” he said in remarks

published on the Gazeta Wyborcza daily website.

“Paradoxically it is Brexit that triggered a proEuropean movement in the UK,” Tusk said. “Today, chances that there will be no Brexit are at 20-30%.

That’s a lot.”

He was touching on growing uncertainty over

how, when or indeed even if Britain quits the EU. Prime Minister Theresa May has thrice failed to get her EU withdrawal agreement ratified by the British parliament so the EU allowed a Brexit delay until the end of October, giving her more time to try to win over MPs. But prospects for overcoming the impasse soon appear dim, with both her Conservative and main opposition Labour parties split into multiple shades of pro-Leave and pro-Remain factions, and Mrs May facing possible leadership challenges.

Opinion polls over the past six months have hinted at a shift towards a narrow pro-Remain majority, as public debate has aired the economic and political complications of leaving

WASHINGTON, May 10 (Agencies): US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will travel to Russia on May 12-14, where he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, the State Department said on Friday.

They will discuss “the full range of bilateral and multilateral challenges,” the State Department said in a statement.

Though U.S. President Donald Trump has sought closer ties between the two countries, Pompeo’s meeting comes as the two heavyweights have clashed over a number of issues, including Venezuela, Syria and Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election.

Britain will take part in European Parliament elections later this month as a result of having Brexit delayed until 31 October.

Some see the vote as a new referendum on Brexit, one whose outcome could help block withdrawal - or accelerate it - as the debate on the pros and cons of the move churns on.

He referred to the EU Thursday statement in which it called on Iran to continue to comply with its commitments set out in the nuclear deal signed and lamented the US sanctions against Tehran.

“Instead of demanding that Iran unilaterally abide by a multilateral accord, the EU should uphold obligations - including the normalization of economic

ties,” Zarif added.

European countries have taken a series of measures to counter US sanctions, including a special payment channel, but they have proved largely unsuccessful.

On Wednesday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said his country was reducing its own commitments under the agreement and would no longer respect

limits on its reserves of lowenriched uranium - currently limited to 300 kg - and heavy water, another chemical compound used in nuclear facilities.

In addition, Rouhani issued a 60-day moratorium for the rest of the signatories of the pact to fulfil Iran’s demands and save the country’s banking system and oil trade from international sanctions.

Hours after Rouhani’s announcement, Trump imposed sanctions on Iran’s iron, steel, aluminium and copper sectors and said those industries account for 10 per cent of Iranian exports. Washington abandoned the nuclear agreement despite the support of the co-signatories and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) proving Iran’s commitment to the deal in 14 reports.

Unnithan’s book on 26/11 attacks to be made into series

uthor Sandeep Unnithan’s “Black Tornado: The Three Sieges of Mumbai 26/11” will be turned into a web series. American screenwriter Joshua Caldwell has come on board to work on the adaptation.

Contiloe Pictures, a broad-based entertainment content production company, has acquired the rights to adapt the book into a digital series. The multi-

episode digital drama will explore various facets of the attacks which spread terror across Mumbai, and how Indians responded to it.

The casting of the show is cur rently underway. It is expected to launch later in 2019, read a statement.

Inspired by the code name given by the National Security Guard to the operation, the book recounts

the attack, wherein 1 0 h e av i ly - a r m e d terrorists sneaked in through the Arabian Sea, and attacked multiple locations in the city. “ ’ B l a c k To r nado...’ encapsulates key details of the three nights and the operation around the multiple sieges. While our nation saw the graphic imagery of terror on TV, they know little about the counter-insurgency by our commandos and the human interest stories behind these images.

“We are looking forward to working with Sandeep, the author of the book, closely to bring authenticity to the audience,” said Abhimanyu Singh, founder and CEO, Contiloe Pictures.

Unnithan is also “excited” about the book getting adapted.

Will Smith found playing ‘Student of the Year 2’: A splashy bore role of Genie stressful

F

A

ctor Will Smith says he found it stressful and daunting to play the role of Genie in the live-action remake of Disney’s classic “Aladdin”.

The actor felt that the “spectacular” performance the late Robin Williams gave to the role in the 1992 animated original proved to be a very difficult shadow to step out of.

“It was quite stressful and daunting. Robin Williams didn’t leave much room to improve on the genie,” dailymail.co.uk quoted Smith as saying.

“You know that’s what Robin Williams gave to the genie that was spectacular, and that was the thing that I was working really hard to capture but give it my

flavour.

“The genie will say anything or do anything, there’s a certain madness to the genie -- that was the fun that Robin Williams created. So I was trying to find what that meant, with a little more of a ‘Fresh Prince’ flavour to it. I wanted to create something that was both nostalgic but also had a little bit new school sometimes,” he added.

Williams voiced Genie in the original “Aladdin” as well as the third film in the original franchise “Aladdin And The King Of Thieves”.

He was not in the first sequel, “The Return Of Jafar”, due to a contractual dispute with Disney.

ilm: “Student of the Year 2”; Cast: Tiger Shroff, Aditya Seal, Ananya Panday, Tara Sutaria; Director: Punit Malhotra; Rating: ** (2 stars) In a film that runs on and on, almost as fast as its agile leading man, for nearly two and a half hours, “Student of the Year 2” (SOTY 2) leaves us with nothing except repeated visuals of youngsters pouting, preening and posing for the camera.

But the absence of any tangible takeaways in this designer version of Mansoor Khan’s “Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar”, should be the

N

“something sacred throughout all the battle cries.”

“These songs were half based on what I was going through, but seeing them through a ‘Game of Thrones’ filter,” she said. “‘Look What You Made Me Do’ is literally Arya Stark’s kill list. ‘King of My Heart’ was influenced by Khal Drogo and

Daenerys. It’s even got this post-hook of drums — I wanted them to sound like Dothraki drums,” she explained.

She even wrote some songs based on specific plot points. “‘I Did Something Bad’ I wrote after Arya and Sansa conspire to kill Littlefinger,” she told the

outlet.

“Game of Thrones” also inspired Swift to drop even more clues in her songs -- something she’s been known to do before.

“My entire outlook on storytelling has been shaped by [‘Game of Thrones’] — the ability to foreshadow stories, to meticulously craft cryptic story lines,” she said.

“So, I found ways to get more cryptic with information and still be able to share messages with the fans. I aspire to be one onemillionth of the kind of hint dropper the makers of ‘Game of Thrones’ have been,” she added.

Swift has also enjoyed the character development on the show, she said.

“You find yourself identifying with different characters several times an episode,” she said. “You go from hating someone to loving someone. You see someone as cold, and then you see the reasons behind why they do what they do.”

“I just feel so lucky to exist when ‘Game of Thrones’ is coming out,” she added.

The pop star even told the outlet her theory on who would end up on the Iron Throne.

“Daenerys, Arya, or Sansa,” she said. “But if I’m being realistic, I think Sansa has the skill set and the ability to delegate and put on a brave face but a stoic demeanor.”

That they are constantly suspended in a state of blowdried vacuousness. That even their emotions are customised.

There is not a single genuinely-felt emotion in the entire length and breadth of this expanded banquet of bacchanalia and boredom.

The young cast tries... Oh, they try hard to infuse life into a comatose script. The older cast members don’t even make an effort. Samir Soni filling in for Rishi Kapoor looks like he reported on the wrong set. Never have I missed Rishi Kapoor so much. (Get well soon, Rishiji).

Taylor Swift says GoT influenced ‘Reputation,’ reveals her theory on show’s ending: report

ot only is Taylor Swift a huge “Game of Thrones” fan, but the singer has admitted the hit show even influenced her 2017 album “Reputation.”

The 29-year-old started watching the HBO series in 2016, around when she was working on “Reputation,” she told Entertainment Weekly.

“So much of my imagination was spent on ‘Game of Thrones,’” she told the outlet. “At the time, I was making ‘Reputation’ and I didn’t talk about it in interviews, so I didn’t reveal that a lot of the songs were influenced by the show.”

Swift explained that the album was focused on revenge, but also finding

least of our worries. Six years back when Karan Johar directed “Student of the Year”, we all wondered what kind of educational opportunities awaits a nation where cinema propagates a classroom-free academy replete with colour, music, banter, flirtation, courtship... Everything except sex and education.

Yes, Karan Johar and his director Punit Malhotra want us to believe that these unrealistically groomed youngsters who look like they were born in the arms of Gucci, believe in immaculate conceptions and kindergarten deceptions.

All-English club finals for CL & Europa Halep through to Madrid Open final

L O NDON, M ay 1 0 (Agencies): England’s Arsenal and Chelsea have both progressed to the finals of the Europa League following victories against Valencia and Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday.

Both the London clubs displayed top performances throughout the campaign to seal the place in the final showdown which will take place at Baku, capital of Azerbaijan.

While Arsenal defeated Valencia in a convincing manner with a scoreline of 7-3 in aggregate over two legs, Chelsea were held to one-all draws in both legs and their match against Frankfurt stretched till penalties for the final outcome.

Valencia, buoyed by the enthusiasm of their supporters, started the contest on the front foot, apparently confident of overcoming their 1-3 loss in the first leg in London.

Guedes and Rodrigo combined to get the ball to Kevin Gameiro at the far post and the Frenchman nudged it across the goal line to narrow the deficit to 2-3. The Mestalla erupted and the home side cranked

fell further behind with Lacazette’s goal in the 50th minute.

The hosts battled on, however, and Gameiro got his second of the night ahead of the hour mark to make it 2-2 (5-3), lifting spirits at the Mestalla.

Arsenal, not known for defending, did enough to prevent Valencia from finding a groove and a Maitland-Niles charge culminated in a cross to the near post where Aubameyang was waiting to strike home.

His team down 3-2 (6-3), Valencia coach Marcelino Garcia Toral pulled Rodrigo and Guedes to rest them for the weekend LaLiga contest against Alaves.

Aubameyang completed the hat-trick with a goal in the 88th minute on the counter. With the result, Ar-

senal manager Unai Emery can dream of adding to the three Europa League titles he won as coach of Sevilla.

Drama at Chelsea vs Eintracht Frankfurt The sides were deadlocked 2-2 after playing more than 210 minutes of football across the two legs, leaving the contest to be settled on penalty kicks.

Blues keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga did his part, making two stops, before Eden Hazard — playing what may have been his last match at Stamford Bridge in a Chelsea shirt — stepped to the line and converted for the decisive 4-3.

Chelsea were favoured after securing a 1-1 draw in the first leg of Commerzbank Arena with Hazard on the bench.

Earlier, Blues coach Maurizio Sarri decided to

England unified after Hales’ drop: Root

Neymar appeals against 3-match suspension

New Delhi, May 10 (IANS): England’s Joe Root said that the omission of batsman Alex Hales has had a unifying effect on the team. Hales had been named in the preliminary squad for the World Cup, that starts on May 30, despite serving a 21-day suspension following an “off-field incident”, which The Guardian later reported was a positive test for recreational drugs.

After the matter went public, Hales was subsequently dropped from the team. Captain Eoin Morgan said that the incident had led to a “complete breakdown in trust” and that all the senior players of the team agreed that dropping Hales was the best decision.

“Yes, absolutely,” Root is quoted as saying in a BBC Sport report. “Now we’re back playing cricket, that is really good for the group. We can concentrate on our full focus being on

up the intensity. Rodrigo garnered a pair of chances in the space of three minutes, only to hit Gameiro the first time and send the second shot high.

The Spanish squad continued to press, but the failure of the Valencia back line to deal with a long ball from Arsenal keeper Petr Cech in the 17th minute led to Aubameyang’s first goal.

Conceding took the wind out of Valencia’s sails and the Gunners began to enjoy more possession.

Yet, Lacazette fired wide when he had an opportunity to settle the contest in the 38th minute and the teams went to the dressing rooms with the score stuck at 1-1 (4-2).

Valencia sought to recapture the initiative after the re-start, but instead

“He’s been extremely impressive so far,” said

Root also clarified that Archer’s potential late entry won’t cause any disharmony in the team.

Paris, May 10 (IANS): PSG forward Neymar has appealed against UEFA’s three-match ban imposed on him for using inappropriate words towards match referee.

He was handed a threematch suspension by the UEFA last month for insulting the match referee following an earlier Champions League match.

PSG lost to Premier League side Manchester United 3-1 at home in round of 16 second leg on March 6, causing them to bow out from the competition due to inferior away goals at 3-3 on aggregate. Feeling furious about the match referee’s decision to award the visitors a penalty late in the match following a VAR review, he turned to abusive words towards video assistant referees on social media.

start the Belgian international, who is rumoured to be bound for Real Madrid over the summer.

And Hazard, who leads the Premier League this season with 15 assists, did not disappoint, delivering the crucial pass for Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s goal in the 28th minute to put the hosts ahead 2-1 overall.

Olivier Giroud shot the ball into Frankfurt keeper Kevin Trapp on Chelsea’s best chance before the break.

Four minutes into the second half, Frankfurt’s Luka Jovic showed why many of Europe’s big clubs are interested in him.

The 21-year-old Serb worked a give-and-go with Gacinovic, got behind Chelsea defender David Luiz and tricked Kepa into leaning left before blasting his shot into the undefended side of the net.

The 1-1 held up through the remainder of regulation and the match went to extra time, which saw chances for both teams.

In the penalty round, Jovic and Haller connected for Frankfurt and Barkely for Chelsea, but Trapp made a tremendous save to deny Azpilicueta.

De Guzman and the Blues’ Jorginho converted before Martin Hinteregger misfired.

David Luiz scored and Kepa thwarted Goncalo Paciencia to leave the tally 3-3 after five rounds to set the table for Hazard’s winner.

M ADRID, M ay 1 0 (Agencies): Simona Halep reached her fourth Madrid Open final with a 6-2, 7-6(2), 6-0 win over Belinda Bencic on Friday.

The world number three will move back to the top of the WTA rankings with a win in Saturday’s final against either Kiki Bertens or Sloane Stephens.

Two-time Madrid winner Halep broke the unseeded Bencic in the first game of the first set, the Swiss’s errant reverse flying out, but she broke back to tie at 2-2.

T h e R o m a n i a n’ s down-the-line shot sealed another break in the penultimate game and she served out to win it comfortably in 27 minutes.

Halep won virtually all of the long rallies, but Bencic reacted well at the start of the second set, playing more aggressively.

Bencic broke to go 3-1, enjoying a stroke of luck with a shot that clipped the net and dropped just over.

Halep battled back, earning a tiebreak, but Bencic won it comfortably to force a deciding set, although she immediately started to struggle.

At three games down, she cried during the break, visibly emotional, with Halep immediately breaking for 4-0 when play resumed, going on to wrap up the set and the match with ease.

“It’s a nice feeling to

Simona Halep

be back in the final of this special tournament, I’m really happy playing here,” said Halep.

“In the second set in that tie break I was rushing too much, I lost control of it, but then I just calmed down, told myself I had to start the match again.

“I star ted to play smarter, opened the court more and became more aggressive.”

Djokovic into semis

Novak Djokovic walked into the semi-finals of the Madrid Masters on Friday when ninth-seeded Marin Cilic withdrew before their match with stomach problems, officials said.

Cilic tweeted his regrets. “I am sorry to an-

nounce that I must withdraw from today’s match.

I have had a terrible night dealing with a case of food poisoning,” he wrote.

“I am extremely disappointed to have my time in Madrid end in this way.

Thank you for the support.”

Cilic, winner of the US Open five years ago, entered Madrid with a 4-6 record and two clay losses but had started getting his game in gear.

The Croatian saved four match points against Martin Klizan in his opening match on Monday and needed three sets to win each of his next two encounters.

Djokovic won the Madrid title in 2016 and 2011.

David Luiz close to new Chelsea deal L o n d o n, M ay 1 0 (Agencies): David Luiz expects to tie up a new Chelsea contract in the coming days.

The Brazil defender’s current Blues deal expires at the end of the season, with the 32-year-old having been in protracted talks with the club over an extension.

Asked if he will be at Chelsea next season, Luiz said, “Yes I think so.

Soon everybody is going to know. It will be before the Europa League final, in five days. I love this club.

My great moments in football were here, especially the European titles - the Champions League and Europa League.”

“My relation with the fans has always been great since the first day I played here. I just try to do my best and make them happy.

Nobody wants to play in

an empty stadium when you have an opportunity to understand that we play for them.”

Chelsea would deny Arsenal a Champions League place next term by beating the Gunners in Baku, with Luiz admitting that only adds extra motivation. “It is going to be a difficult game, they have a great team and a great coach,” said Luiz.

“He (Unai Emery)

knows how to win this competition. I worked with him a bit in Paris and I know how passionate he is. He knows how to play these kind of games. It is up to us to prepare well.”

“We have to try to win the trophy. We know that if we win they will not be in the Champions League.

This will be better for us because we put a fantastic team out of the Champions League.”

CSK crush DC to enter IPL final

V i s a k h a pat na m , May 10 (Agencies): Faf du Plessis and Shane Watson hit half-centuries as Chennai Super Kings crushed Delhi Capitals by 6 wickets in Qualifier 2 in Vizag on Friday to storm into the final of 2019 Indian Premier League.

CSK, who will play their 8th IPL final on May 12, face Mumbai Indians in a bid to defend their title.

Chennai Super Kings have now reached the final in 8 of 10 seasons of the Indian Premier League. They were suspended for 2 seasons in 2016 and 2017 but came back with a bang in 2018 to win the IPL for the 3rd time. CSK had finished

second in the points table they had lost Qualifier 2 to Mumbai Indians on May 7 but grabbed the second chance with both hands in Qualifier 2 against Delhi Capitals who were eyeing their maiden final.

Chasing 148 for a place in the title clash, CSK openers Faf du Plessis and Shane Watson started watchfully but picked the ante after they got their eyes in. While du Plessus hit 50 off 39 balls before falling to Trent Boult, Shane Watson was dismissed by Amit Mishra for a 32-ball 50. But by the time Watson exited, CSK were cruising along at 109 for 2 in 12.2 overs.

CSK’s triumph was

scripted by their bowlers who restricted a powerpacked DC batting line-up to a modest 147 for 9.

Dwayne Bravo (2/19), Ravindra Jadeja (2/23), Deepak Chahar (2/28) and Harbhajan Singh (2/31) shared eight wickets between them as Delhi Capitals struggled to 147 for nine.

Sent in to bat, DC made a shaky start with Prithvi Shaw (5) and Shikhar Dhawan (18 off 14) adding 21 runs in 2.3 overs before the former was caught plumb in front of the wicket by Chahar.

S h aw ’s d i s m i s s a l opened the floodgates as DC lost three wickets in

quick time to slump to 75 for four in 11.3 overs. Dhawan was the next to depart, caught by MS Dhoni off Harbhajan and then Colin Munro (27) was holed at deep square-leg by Bravo off Jadeja.

Skipper Shreyas Iyer (13 of 18) too fell while going for a big shot, caught by Suresh Raina off Imran Tahir (1/28) in the 12th over.

Axar Patel departed in the next over, hitting a short delivery of Bravo straight to Tahir at third man.

Rishabh Pant (38 off 25) and Sherfane Rutherford (10) shared 22 runs for the sixth wicket. Rutherford became Harbhajan’s second victim, followed by Keemo Paul who was cleaned up by Bravo’s perfect yorker in the 18th over.

The onus was on hardhitting Pant to take DC to a challenging total but he too failed to cope up with the pressure, caught by Bravo at long-on off Chahar.

Towards the end, Amit Mishra (6 not out) and Ishant Sharma (10 not out off 3 balls) used their long handles to great effect and struck some lusty blows to take the Delhi side close to the 150-run mark.

Brief Scores: DC: 147/9 (Rishabh Pant 38; D Bravo 2/19, R Jadeja 2/23, D Chahar 2/28, H Singh 2/31) CSK: 151/4 (Faf du Plessis 50, Shane Watson 50; Trent Boult 1/20)

Suarez to miss Copa del Rey final M a d r i d, M ay 1 0 (Agencies): Barcelona has confirmed Luis Suarez will miss the Copa del Rey final against Valencia after being told he could be out for six weeks following knee surgery.

The club revealed the injury on Thursday and have now stated his season

has come to a premature end, meaning he will be unable to feature in the Copa showpiece on May 25 or Barca’s last two La Liga games against Getafe and Eibar.

Suarez is also a doubt for the start of the Copa America, with Uruguay set to kick off its campaign

against Ecuador in just over five weeks, on June 16.

Even if the striker is only sidelined for a month, it looks unlikely he will be unable to feature in Uruguay’s opener in Belo Horizonte.

But with games against Japan and defend-

ing champions Chile to come over the subsequent eight days, his participation in the tournament cannot be ruled out.

Suarez will finish Barca’s campaign with 25 goals in all competitions, 21 of those coming in 33 La Liga outings.

Ko h i m a , M ay 1 0 (NPN): Dimapur district veteran football team defeated Kohima district vet-

eran football team by 2-0 to emerge as the champions of 9th Nagaland Veteran Inter District Football Championship 2019 on Friday.

A brace from Dima-

pur captain Y. Yanbemo Lotha in the second half sealed the victory over host team at the new astro turf ground IG Stadium, Kohima.

Yanbemo Lotha with five goals received the highest goal scorer award.

Champions Dimapur team walked away with a cash prize of Rs. 30,000 along with the trophy and runner’s up Kohima received Rs 20,000 and trophy.

The two semi-finalists, Mokokchung and Phek recieved Rs 10,000 each.

L h o u c h a l i e Vi ya , secretar y, Depar tment of Youth Resources and Sports graced the occasion as the guest of honour and gave away the awards to the winners.

In his short speech, Viya called upon the veteran players to come forward and take football forward.

He also suggested the veterans players to adopt one club in each village to promote football in the state.

Hazard puts trophy before transfer talk

Eden Hazard

L o n d o n, M ay 1 0 (Agencies): Eden Hazard will do everything in his power to help Chelsea win the Europa League later this month in what might be his final game for the Premier League club, the playmaker has said.

Hazard converted the decisive spot-kick in the 4-3 shootout win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday that sent Chelsea into the May 29 final against fellow London club Arsenal in Baku.

The 28-year-old is expected to leave Chelsea at the end of the season after seven years at Stamford Bridge, with British media linking him with a move to Real Madrid.

“If it’s my last game I will try to do everything for this club to win a trophy,” Hazard told BT Sport.

“In my mind I don’t know yet, I don’t think about that. I’m only thinking about winning something for this club and this squad. We played a great game but the semi-final is not so easy. We are happy and we will go to Baku to try to win the trophy.”

Hazard’s team mates Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Willian hoped the Belgian would stay at the club.

Chelsea will not be allowed to sign a replacement if Hazard leaves after FIFA upheld the one-year transfer ban earlier this week.

“I’m sure everyone

here, and us players, would love him to stay and be a Chelsea player until he finishes his career,” LoftusCheek said.

“But who knows what he’s thinking. Over the last seven, eight years he’s been fantastic — the trophies he has helped us win. Whatever decision he makes we will respect it.”

Willian said, “He’s one of the best players in the world. For me I hope he stays, but in football you never know. I think his head is here, to play for Chelsea.

Then after he’s finished the season maybe he can talk about his situation.”

With Chelsea playing away at Leicester City on the final day of the league season, the penalty could be Hazard’s last kick of a ball at Stamford Bridge but he knows there remains a big job to do in Azerbaijan.

“I always take my responsibility when I have to,” said Hazard, who has 19 goals this season.

“Today we are happy but it’s not finished.

We have another game to play against Arsenal. We need to go there and play with quality and win the game.”
