NEW DELHI, MAY 15 (AGENCIES): Hinting that India will strike back against Pakistan in response to beheading of its soldiers, Union home minister Rajnath Singh on Monday said it should not be presumed that “nothing is happening”. “The surgical strike took 10-15 days of preparations. Please do not presume that nothing is happening (from our side) on behalf of the government,” Singh said. He was speaking at the ‘Samvaad’ conclave on India TV news channel. “I can say this much for now that we will not allow our countrymen to hang their heads in shame,” Singh added. Replying to a question on beheading of two Indian soldiers by Pakistani troops earlier this month, Singh said that people in

Petrol price cut by Rs 2.16 a litre, diesel by Rs 2.10 NEW DELHI, May 15 (AGENCIES): Petrol price was on Monday cut by Rs 2.16 per litre and diesel by Rs 2.10 a litre, reversing the four week trend of rising rates. The reduction, which will be effective from Monday midnight, comes on back of a marginal 2 paise a litre increase in petrol and 52 paise per litre hike in diesel rates effected from May 1. Indian Oil Corp (IOC), the nation’s largest fuel retailer, said the price of petrol is being reduced by Rs 2.16 per litre and that of diesel by Rs 2.10 - both excluding state levies. Actual reduction in price will be more after taking into account local VAT. “The current level of international product prices of petrol and diesel and INRUSD exchange rate warrant decrease in selling price of petrol and diesel, the impact of which is being passed on to the consumers with this price revision,” IOC said.

the government also feel the pain of the countrymen. “There is pain in our hearts, but we will not allow that pain to continue for a long time,” he added. When asked whether the army should again cross the border and retaliate against the terrorists, Singh said, “I should not react (to this question). The one who brags too much, never does...we will not announce in advance, we will do it”. Speaking on the brutal killing of Kashmiri army officer Ummer Fayaz, the home minister said whatever happened to him has caused pain to all Indians, including Kashmiris. Fayaz was a role model for youth in the valley, he added. Singh claimed there has been a whopping 450% spike in the number of Maoists who have surrendered in the last two years, and added that there has been a 40 to 45 per cent decline in Maoist activities.

India, Pak face-off at ICJ

India and Pakistan on Monday crossed swords at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over Kulbhushan Jadhav’s case with New Delhi demanding the immediate suspension of

his death sentence and Islamabad accusing it of using the world body as a stage for “political theatre” through a “misconceived” plea. The two neighbours -who last faced off at the ICJ 18 years ago when Islamabad sought its intervention over the shooting down of its naval aircraft -- India took the Jadhav case to the world court, accusing Pakistan of violating the Vienna Convention and conducting a “farcical trial” for convicting Jadhav without a “shred of evidence”. After hearing the arguments of the two sides, the court said it will issue its order on India’s request for provisional measures “as soon as possible”. “The date on which this order will be delivered at a public sitting will be duly communicated to the parties,” the court said. India demanded the immediate suspension of Jadhav’s death sentence, expressing fears that Pakistan could execute him even before the hearing at the ICJ was over. However, Pakistan asserted that Jadhav’s execution was not imminent, saying that a time frame of 150 days is provided for seeking clemency and in Jadhav’s

case even if it started on April 10, 2017, the date of his conviction, the period could extend to well beyond August, 2017. India made a forceful submission as the ICJ began hearing the case of the 46year-old former Navy officer who was arrested on March 3 last year and sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on charges of espionage and subversive activities. “Jadhav has not got the right to get proper legal assistance and the right to consular access. There is an immediate threat to him to be executed even before a decision is passed,” joint secretary in the Ministry of External Affairs Deepak. Representing India, lead attorney Harish Salve said, “The execution of the death sentence cannot be done while this court is hearing the appeal. Else, it will be a violation of the Vienna Convention.” Pakistan, in its submission before ICJ, said India’s application on Jadhav, who was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on charges of espionage and subversive activities last month, was “unnecessary and misconceived” and must be dismissed.

K O H I M A , M AY 1 5 (NPN): State government has cleared the creation of more than 100 posts of assistant professor in various subjects, but certain formalities are still under process. Parliamentary secretary for higher education, Deo Nukhu, informed this during a press briefing in his office chamber at Civil Secretariat here Monday. Admitting that most of the colleges in Nagaland did not have enough teachers, Nukhu said the department had submitted proposal for creation of posts of teachers in various subjects, but the state government on various occasions had turned down owing to fund constrains. He said with the rationalization of teacher posts, government had agreed to create more than 100 posts of teachers, but various formalities were yet to be completed. On an appeal made by ENCSU for posting a permanent college principal at Yingli College, Longleng, the parliamentary secretary said the department had problem of posting of principles during

CNTC appeals to NIA State govt proposes DIMAPUR, MAY 15 (NPN): Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) has made a fervent appeal to the National Investigating Agency (NIA) “to exercise restraint on those state government employees and officers of Nagaland presently arrested in the extortion case for allegedly providing substantial amounts from the government funds to some underground outfits.” In a press note, CNTC media cell pointed out that it was difficult to provide security to every official at all times, since the government employees were “always under threat and extreme duress from various outfits”. While admitting that the government of India had every right to act as per the law, CNTC on the other hand said the government “must also understand through its good wisdom that due to the inability of bringing some factions on a common table for talks to resolved the decades old Naga political imbroglio, some factions are adamant to impose taxes on the public and the govt. employees for which they are always at the receiving end.” It further reminded NIA that despite state police and security agencies trying to provide round the clock vigil, it was almost impossible to guard all and sundry. In this regard, CNTC made an earnest plea that the government of India demonstrate its goodwill on its citizens, saying “the govt. officers arrested were all acting under immense pressure and coercion and so they should be shown some leniency for which they had no other alternative.”

K O H I M A , M AY 1 5 (NPN): Minister Forest and Environment and Climate Change, Imkong L. Imchen disclosed that the state government has sought to hold a meeting with the NSCN (I-M) and was awaiting the response. He said this while interacting with media persons at his office chamber Monday afternoon. Imchen recalled the meeting between the state government with NPGs at the Chumukedima Police complex on April 8 last where the latter had shared a uniformed opinion that all stakeholders be taken into confidence before finalizing any settlement. Imchen said according to his own opinion, the negotiating parties should have an open mind about soliciting the views of other NPGs including Naga

citizens. He said the elected government should also be consulted as it cannot be simply ignored or wished away. While lauding PM Narendra Modi for the initiative, Imchen said Nagas should not let go of the opportunity for peaceful solution. Imchen said it would be better if the outcome of the negotiation happened before the next election since elected members would not be willing to resign after winning theie seats in one of the most expensive elections in the country. He said much was also expected of the negotiating parties in exhibiting diplomacy and statesmanship in extending invitation to other NPGs to be part of the final agreement. He also said Nagas should also approach the issue with an open mind in contributing towards the final agreement.

the last one and half year not only in Eastern Nagaland area owing to the court case between the PhD and non-PhD teachers. Nukhu, however, said the college principal at Longleng would be replaced soon. On the warning issued by ENCSU that “no college will be allowed to function without sufficient teachers from next semester”, the parliamentary secretary said it was not the duty of the students to impose such diktat. He said union should not make such statements since the department was also trying its best. Asserting that the department has special consideration for interior and backward districts, Nukhu said the department has proposed a model degree college -- a science college – at Wakching, under Mon district. He expressed hope that the college would start in next academic session. Further, the parliamentary secretary informed that he would be visiting Punjab next week to look out for technical institutes and explore possibilities of sending Naga students to study more of technical and professional

studies. On ENCSU’s accusation of non-appointment of driver for college bus in Kiphiri district, Nukhu said the department had already sanctioned for purchase of bus for Kiphiri but was not able to deliver the bus as there was no driver. Nukhu said department initiated an emergency arrangement by proposing for appointment of driver and conductor on fixed pay on contingency basis, but was turned down. He however said the department would work out on number of driver and bus requirements in various colleges, adding that more buses and drivers would be allotted soon. On technical seat allotment, Nukhu expressed optimism that unlike last year there would not be much problem on reservation and seat allotment. Expressing displeasure over poor allotment of funds to the department, Nukhu said the centre has its policy to allot 5% of the state total budget to higher education department. However, during 2016-17, only 0.06% was allotted making it difficult to manage the department.

In a press release, ENCSU chairman, Longre Chang, and joint secretary, Nokchem Angth, said the union strongly rejected “such blame game statement” and reaffirmed their memorandum submitted on April 5, 2017 and press release issued on May14, 2017. Reminding that the colleges in Eastern Nagaland were not new, the union said the parliamentary secretary talking about creation of new posts now was nothing but trying to divert attention from the core issues.

Excise Kohima seizes 100 kg ganja NSCN (I-M) cautions 32 AR

Excise personnel along with the seized vehicle and item. DIMAPUR: Excise Kohima personnel manning Peducha Check Gate on May 13 has seized 110 kgs of contraband ganja worth around Rs. 1.3 lakh from a Maruti Van (NL 01P 0800). According to superintendent of excise Kohima,

DIMAPUR: The NSCN/ GPRN has expressed deep resentment over what it termed as “the surprised and unauthorized raids carried out upon the officials of GPRN” on May 13 reportedly by troops of 32 Assam Rifles, saying the “unrelenting and unwarranted raids by notorious” AR against GPRN members was becoming “unbearable and intolerable”.

While the relationship between National workers and Security Forces is at its lowest ebb, such series of violations of Cease Fire Ground Rules by the Assam Rifles may result into more serious devastations and even

hamper the current hard earned peace process, MIP said in its condemnation. MIP further accused the AR, “Friends of the Hills people” , of arrogantly terrorizing the children and innocent families thereby displaying themselves as the “Foes of the Hill people. It therefore demanded the AR to “immediately stop such illegal raids, end harassment meted out to the peaceful Nagas, cease instilling fear psychosis and bring to an end of inhumane treatment towards Nagas”. NSCN/GPRN also urged the authorities to release the leaders immediately as they are innocent so as to avoid further misunderstandings. Warning that henceforth NSCN/GPRN will no more remain a silent spectator, MIP questioned the AR whether such raids were executed under the knowledge and consent of Ministry of Home Affairs, authorities or not? The 32 AR will shoulder all the responsibilities in the event of any eventuality, MIP warned.

tember last year.” “The Centre said it will implement confidencebuilding measures and start a political dialogue with all stakeholders, did nothing in the last six months, leading to the situation turning from bad to worse,” the CPI-M leader said. Yechury said cow vigilantes, anti-Romeo squads and others indulging in moral policing in Uttar Pradesh were members of private armies raised by the BJP and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. “These private armies are taking laws in their hands. In the name of protecting laws, they are killing Dalits and members of the minority community. They are terrorising the people. We demand an immediate ban on all these private armies.” On the July presidential election, Yechury said the CPI-M wants a secular, democratic and neutral personality for the highest constitutional post in the country.

This led to the tragedy, they said.

BJP’s Bhabananda files nomination papers Correspondent

IMPHAL, May 15: BJP state unit president K Bhabananda Monday filed his nomination papers for Rajya Sabha by-poll from Manipur. The by-poll to Rajya Sabha seat on May 25 will see a straight contest between the BJP and Congress as only two candidates filed their nomination papers till the last hour of allowing filing nomination. E Dwijamani of Congress had already filed his nomination papers earlier.

IMPHAL, May 15: Large number of people Monday turned up at the chief minister secretariat in Imphal and shared their plights with N Biren Singh in the first session of “MeeyamgiNumit (People’s Day). Braving the bad weather, people converged at the gate since early morning to get inside the chief minister’s bungalow. Interestingly, government employees outnumbered the common people to lodge their complaints to the chief minister. Employees in separate groups submitted memoranda to the chief minister while drawing his attention to address the grievances being faced by them while discharging their duty as government servant. Among the groups, some brought up their long pending demand for service regularization while others drew the attention of the chief minister on early disbursement of their pending salaries for months. Though few people came up to seek their per-

sonal plights, most of them, particularly leaders of voluntary organizations, local youth clubs complained about poor access to basic amenities like drinking water, road connectivity and sanitation in their respective locality or village. A group of people with differently able aired the grievances being faced by them right from obtaining disability certificate to availing the benefits of various schemes for them sponsored by both Centre and state governments. Elderly people lodged their complaints of nonreceipt of their pension amounts under Indira Gandhi National Old Age Pension Scheme and pension to the former members of Autonomous District Councils (ADCs) in hill districts etc. Singh attended to about 350 complaints personally and met nearly 1000 people during his meeting from 10 am till 5.30 pm. Top bureaucrats of the state and district administration assisted the chief minister during the session. Talking to reporters

on the sideline of the session, chief minister N Biren Singh said that the session (Meeyamgi Numit) will able to bring the common people closer to his government. His government had decided to organize this kind of session on the 15th day of every month in order to identify the wishes and aspirations of the common people who are at the grassroots level, he said. Another objective of holding such session of interacting with the public was to help maintain transparency and make people understand about the activities being done by the new government, he added. Such session would help the government to study and decide what to be done for the welfare of the people, he observed. The chief minister informed that he would be forwarding the written representations, submitted by the people, to the pertinent ministers and officials after writing side-notes on it for necessary action.

for financial inclusion: Khandu

Itanagar, May 15 (IANS): Arunachal Pradesh C h i e f M i n i s t e r Pe m a Khandu on Monday wrote to Reserve Bank of India Governor Urjit Patel to set up its office here in this frontier state in order to have close regulatory oversight of Public and Private Sector Banks to meet the goal of financial inclusion. “Arunachal Pradesh is a strategically important state and the geographical remoteness of the place is further aggravated by the fact that in several parts of

the state, there is poor road and telecom connectivity,” Khandu stated in his letter. “The rural habitations with sparse population make banking extremely difficult. I would like to underscore that there are only 182 bank branches in the state and only 223 ATMs in the whole state,” he added. Khandu said that a RBI office at the state capital would go a long way in strengthening the financial institutions and also streamlining other financial transactions in the State.

Jaipur, May 15 (PTI): Sikkim Chief Minister Pawan Kumar Chamling was today conferred with the first Bhairon Singh S h e k h awa t L i f e t i m e Achievement Honour in Public Service by President Pranab Mukherjee here. The award was conferred during the first Bhairon Singh Shekhawat memorial lecture delivered by the President. Receiving the award, Chamling expressed his gratitude towards the people of Rajasthan and said the main aim of public service is to bring change in the life of people and improve their living conditions. Chamling, who was first elected to power in 1994 and has continued to be chief minister for 22 years, lauded former vice-president Shekhawat as a visionary leader who cared for his people. Shekhawat was the vice-president between 2002 and 2007. Mukherjee lauded Chamling’s contribution to Sikkim and said it is emerging as a role model for other states. Known as the ‘Land of Flowers’ with a population of around six lakhs, Sikkim is gaining popularity as a fully organic state in India. It contributes around 80,000 million tonnes of organic produce out of total 1.24 million tonnes produced in India.

tor is expected to lose one lakh jobs this year. “On the industrial front, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced ‘Make in India’, ‘Startup India’, ‘Digital India’ and many more things. But no significant investment has been made in the last three years,” Yechury said. “What celebration they (BJP) want to hold on May 26 (on the completion of three years of the Modi government)? This must be a celebration of failure and betrayal.” Yechury also accused the government of antifarmer steps. “The govern-

ment promised to increase the minimum support price of crops but that was not done.” The Left leader said that according to government figures, 12,000 to 16,000 farmers committed suicide every year since 2014. He visited the Tripura capital on Monday while on way to address a public rally at Belonia in southern Tripura. The National Democratic Alliance government will hold a programme in Guwahati in Assam on May 26 to mark its three years in office at the Centre. Yechury also flayed the Centre on the Jammu and Kashmir issue, saying “its Kashmir policy has proved to be an “utter failure”. Yechury accused the government of betraying Parliament, the country and its people by not fulfilling its own assurance. “The BJP-led government backtracked on its promise held out to an allparty delegation that visited the violence-hit state in Sep-

Agartala, May 15 (IANS): The BJP has betrayed the people during its three years in power at the Centre and totally failed to fulfil its electoral promises, CPI-M General Secretary Sitaram Yechury said here on Monday. The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) leader also wondered what all the celebrations planned by the BJP-led central government on completion of its three years in power were about, and added that it was rather a “celebration of failure and betrayal”. “They (BJP) have failed to fulfil every single promise they made to the people before the 2014 general elections,” he told the media here. The CPI-M leader said the Bharatiya Janata Party had promised to generate two crore new jobs every year. “No new jobs have, however, been provided; (on the other hand) thousands of people are losing their existing jobs,” he said.

Ravi Shankar Prasad update which addressed the vulnerability in the 16-yearold Windows XP operating system that the hackers behind the massive ransomware attack exploited and created havoc in 150 countries. After infecting over two lakh computers in several

countries, the global virus attack continued for the third day on Monday, with more reports of hacking pouring in from India, China and Japan as offices re-opened after a tumultuous weekend. The ransomware locks up the computer with the group which carried out the attack asking for $300 payment in bitcoins to send an unlock key. The virus attacks the system after a person, whose computer has not been protected, opens up an unsuspecting mail, often from people known to him or her. In Kerala, computers of two village panchayats were hit, with messages demanding $300 in virtual cur-

rency to unlock the files. Officials who opened the computer at the Thariyode panchayat office in the hilly district of Wayanad found that four of their computers had been hacked. Likewise, another village panchayat at Aruvapulam near Konni in Pathanamthitta district got a similar virus message when their computer was switched on. IT experts were working on these systems. In West Bengal’s West Midnapore district, at least eight computers of the staterun electricity distributor were affected. Experts were ascertaining whether it was the same malware virus behind the world’s biggest ransomware attack.

RSS using BJP to pursue ‘fascist’ agenda, says CPI Raigad/Mumbai, May 15 (IANS): The Communist Party of India (CPI) On Monday accused the RSS of using the Bharatiya Janata Party governments at the centre and states to pursue its “fascist” agenda. Against this backdrop, the CPI also signaled a major shift in its policy by announcing plans to mobilise and unite “all secular, democratic and Leftist forces in the country” to combat the RSS-BJP. The CPI said that following the BJP victory in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, and capturing power “through manipulation” in Goa and Manipur, it is clear that the RSS is directly behind the “fascistic offensive” using the Modi Government and the BJP-led governments in different states.

Atulkumar Anjan ties and women, it said. CPI National Council Secretary Atulkumar Anjan claimed that gangrapes and molestations are so rampant that women generally fear traveling in buses or trains even with their families in UP. “All the organisations of the RSS have been given a free hand to launch any type of offensive to hasten the caste and communal polarisation.

The administration and police either remain mute or extend help to RSS outfits in their offensive,” he said. Anjan’s statement came after an intensive weekend two-day CPI National Executive Committee meeting held at Karjat in Raigad, followed by a daylong CPI Mumbai Executive Committee brainstorming meeting here on Monday. By distracting peoples’ attention through such divisive agenda, the centre is pushing through the remaining agenda of disastrous course of economic liberalization, with prices soaring while healthcare and education going out of reach of the masses, he added. “The CPI NE feels that all secular, democratic and left forces, not merely the political parties but mass organizations, have to come together to counter the intensified offensive of the Modi Government and RSS Parivar,” Anjan urged.

In the wake of media reports saying that the COI had exonerated and even appreciated Major Nitin Gogoi for his action on April 9, Defence Ministry spokesman in Srinagar Col Rajesh Kalia said that proceedings were still on. “The Court of Inquiry concerned with the incident wherein a civilian was tied to an Army jeep is still incomplete. “Reports in some sections of the media of the army Major being given a clean chit are speculative,” he said. An army spokesman in New Delhi said: “The court of inquiry has not given its report yet. It is inappropriate to speculate on the findings of the inquiry.”

Chandigarh, May 15 (IANS): Punjab cabinet Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu on Monday accused former Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and his family of having diverted state money to their family businesses. The Akali Dal rejected the claim. Accusing the Badal family of large-scale corruption, Sidhu said there was no accountability of money in the previous regime. “Punjab state income became the business of the Badals (family). It was directly taken away somewhere else. The income of the state was converted into a family business,” Sidhu told media here. Justifying his allegations, Sidhu said: “I had categorically given the names of the companies. They had 50 buses (earlier). These became 650 (later).......In tenders that were allotted, there was massive sub-letting of it. They gave it to their own relatives. One road tender was given three times. First road was made, then tiles were laid on it and then bitumen was put on it.” “Whatever money came for any purpose, Badal saab and his son diverted to their own account as per their whims,” the cricketer-turned-politician said. Sidhu’s allegations elicited an aggressive retort from the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD).

Chikungunya and dengue cases in the national capital had tapered off by December first week last year ending the vectorborne disease season in the city that witnessed its worst chikungunya outbreak in the last 10 years, but cases are still being registered, prompting authorities to go for early preparedness. The municipal authorities had in early March called an all-hands workshop on the prevention and control of vector- borne diseases to finalise a comprehensive action plan for combating the menace in the coming season. I n t h e wo r k s h o p, SDMC Commissioner P K Goel had asked officials to “identify the cases of dengue and chikungunya coming to Delhi from other states”. The Lt Governor on March 23 had held a review meeting with the three municipal commissioners on preparations for combating vector-borne diseases in the city in the wake of cases of vector-borne diseases still being reported. At least 15 fatalities were reported last year at various hospitals in the city due to complications triggered by chikungunya though the civic bodies have kept the death tally at zero.

opinion/EDITORIAL

Nagaland Post

t was May 16,1951 that the famous Naga Plebiscite was conducted in the erstwhile Naga Hills where the Naga National Council under its third president Z.A.Phizo, claimed that 99.9% voted in favour of total independence. The Naga Plebiscite in 1951 provided Phizo with the kind of legitimacy he wanted to push through the agenda even though his closest colleagues like T.Sakhrie and J.B.Jasokie differed as they wanted a peaceful resolution with the government of India. The interesting coincidence with the number -16- seems destined to be connected in the affairs of Nagaland. After the sixteenth of May, Nagaland also became the 16th state under the Union of India on December 1,1963. The creation of Nagaland state also involved the 16th Point Agreement signed July 26, 1960 between the leaders of the overground Naga People’s Convention(NPC) and the government of India under prime minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. The 16th Point Agreement formed the basis over which Nagaland was created. In many ways, the 16th Point Agreement was almost a replica of the 9th Point Agreement reportedly concluded between then Governor of Assam Sir Akbar Hydari and NNC moderates led by Aliba Imti on June 28, 1947 in Kohima. The latitude given in the Akbar Hydari-NNC agreement to the Naga tribes was a ray of light for peace but it was snuffed out when the constituent assembly of the new nation refused to ratify it on the ground that it only accorded ‘district’ status to the Nagas and not a near-sovereign state. Be that as it may, Naga history after the advent of the colonial rule has been marked with many ifs and buts. The solution as spoken of today, is like another agreement and it remains to be seen if it would stand the litmus test as much spoken about by both proponents and opponents. Be that as it may, resolution of the political issue has reached a crucial stage, in response to the cry for peace since the 60s. In a way, along with the political issue, what needs to be realised today is that, the socio-economic problems have multiplied because of the imbalanced perception which accorded too much focus on politics. Guns and culture cannot bring glory but only achievements in progress and development. That is the global economic language of identity. That calls for putting the horse before the cart and not vice versa. All leaders may have their own considered viewpoint on challenges facing contemporary society but unless they mainstream these views, no common vision can be made. The absence of work culture and professionalism can be blamed on the Promotion of Political Patronage (PPP) which has legitimized the spoon feeding syndrome. The over dependence on politics indicates that people feel it is the only way to bring magnificent changes through government visions that spark unnecessary daydreams. Politicians and bureaucratic visions have not contributed anything much or justified the huge expenditures incurred, if the past serve as indications. Every notion and concept of progress in developed societies had to be developed and sustained over the decades or even centuries. Thus, meaningful development can only come when society understands the times-tested and proven practical principle, that there is a time for everything under heaven.

DailyDevotion The Habit of Rising to the Occasion …that you may know what is the hope of His calling… —Ephesians 1:18 Remember that you have been saved so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in your body (see 2 Corinthians 4:10). Direct the total energy of your powers so that you may achieve everything your election as a child of God provides; rise every time to whatever occasion may come your way. You did not do anything to achieve your salvation, but you must do something to exhibit it. You must “work out your own salvation” which God has worked in you already (Philippians 2:12). Are your speech, your thinking, and your emotions evidence that you are working it “out”? If you are still the same miserable, grouchy person, set on having your own way, then it is a lie to say that God has saved and sanctified you. God is the Master Designer, and He allows adversities into your life to see if you can jump over them properly— “By my God I can leap over a wall” (Psalm 18:29). God will never shield you from the requirements of being His son or daughter. First Peter 4:12 says, “Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you….” Rise to the occasion— do what the trial demands of you. It does not matter how much it hurts as long as it gives God the opportunity to manifest the life of Jesus in your body. May God not find complaints in us anymore, but spiritual vitality— a readiness to face anything He brings our way. The only proper goal of life is that we manifest the Son of God; and when this occurs, all of our dictating of our demands to God disappears. Our Lord never dictated demands to His Father, and neither are we to make demands on God. We are here to submit to His will so that He may work through us what He wants. Once we realize this, He will make us broken bread and poured-out wine with which to feed and nourish others.

Time for every purpose

Nagaland Post, Dimapur

Speeches on Naga Plebiscite Day My dear beloved Nagas, I greet you all in the name of our Almighty God and I am grateful to Him for getting the opportunity to address you all on this Historic and momentous day of the Naga people. It was on this day, in the year 1951, that the Nagas under the banner of the Naga National Council boldly stated and showed in action to the world the desire and aspiration to live as a free and sovereign nation, thereby exercising the right to determine our own future, a solemn and irrevocable vow symbolically expressed with thumb impressions popularly known as the PLEBISCITE of May 16, 1951. Are markable feature of the Plebiscite was the overwhelming 99.9% voting in favour of Naga Independence and stands as a testimony of the unity of the Nagas which at the same time serves to express our continued affirmation of both the historic Memorandum to the Simon Commission of1929 and the declaration of Naga Independence of 14th August, 1947. It conveys a strong twin-message: the spirit and aspirations of the Naga people and the resentment against the forceful occupation by India and Myanmar and the territorial division without the knowledge and consent of the Nagas. We celebrate this day to contemplate why we feel proud and fortunate to be Nagas and to rededicate ourselves to pursue with more vigour and vitality the Naga National Cause. The Nagas threw a challenge to the Government of India and the Indian leadership when in 1952 the first Indian General Election of Free India was held but Nagas did not cast any vote in deference to the Plebiscite of 1951. If India had any respect for Democracy it should have respected the mandate and desire of the people even if the Naga Nation is small, weak or the size of population few, amicably solve the political problem but India miserably failed to accept Naga

cal leadership or for customary roles rather than surrender of their autonomy. Autonomy and freedom of any Naga village was non-negotiable and inalienable. The occasion is an opportunity for our people to ponder on our foundational and fundamental beliefs, the legitimate right of the Nagas to choose our own destiny and also bring to the attention of the world that the Nagas still continue to suffer against her will at the imperialistic hands of occupational forces, viz., India and Myanmar. Modern Civilization values, including democratic values, have sadly failed to truly, educate these occupational forces that no people group, big or small, can be forced to live under the domination of another against her desires. In spite of our unfulfilled dream and aspiration to live as a free nation, we still remain proud and continue to live with dignity because on this day, sixty six years ago, the Naga people boldly stood up to express our resentment against the dehumanizing practice of imperialism. The Federal Government of Nagaland and the Government of India have been in conflict for more than sixty years now but the Government of India has not been able to crush the Nagas. India has been using some group of Nagas which has somewhat weakened the Nagas and the political issue has remained unsolved. India’s plans and acts have always been counter-productive. For example, the Federal Government of Nagaland had conflict with the Government of India. The Government of India instead of trying to solve the issue with the NNC/FGN, the owners went ahead and signed an agreement with the Naga People’s Convention which is known as the 16 Point Agreement, leading to the creation of the Nagaland state within the Indian Union and certain provisions in the constitution of India. However, it should not be forgotten that the Nagaland state

was earned through the Sacrifice of the Naga patriots, freedom fighters, and the Naga National movement. It was earned through blood, tears, and sweat and nothing is more precious before God and man. The 16 point agreement has weakened the unity of the Nagas but has not affected the Naga cause. Then the Government of India in 1975 signed the infamous Shillong Accord with underground organisation which somehow divided the Naga National workers but did not weaken the Naga National Cause. Likewise, the Government of India signed ceasefire with the NSCN (I-M) a breakaway group of the NNC/FGN and after many years signed a framework agreement on 3rd August, 2015. However, there is not much hope that Government of India will implement the settlement. At times, it appears that we are fast forgetting our selfdefining history of struggle but let us remind ourselves that we are a group of people resolutely determined and committed to live as free people, free to be who we are and who we want to be. For it would be ignominious to turn our back to the great event in history that took place on this day, where the citizens of Nagaland, from the mountaintops to the valleys, courageously registered themselves to live as a free and independent nation. The Naga Plebiscite of 16th May, 1951 isa pillar on which our rights and aspirations are embedded, a foundational pillar which cannot be undone and which will not perish so long as heaven and earth exist. May the Almighty God who guided our people in the past and gave us courage to so boldly declare to the world that we are a free and sovereign nation guide our path and instil the same desire in each one of us today as we celebrate and commemorate the Naga Plebiscite Day. Kuknalim. Gen. (Retd.) Thinoselie M. Keyho, President, NNC

Dear Naga people, In the precious name of our living God, I greet the Naga people wherever they are on the occasion of Naga Voluntary Plebiscite Day of 16th May 2017. From submission of the Memorandum to the Simon Commission in 1929 until today, the Nagas have clearly and consistently stated their legal and political rights to sovereignty and their rights to recognition by the Governments of India and Myanmar (Burma) in particular and by the world at large. The Naga National Council (NNC) has fought fiercely and determinedly all the way to defend these political rights for the Naga people and the land they inhabit. This struggle will continue until Nagaland is officially recognised as a nation and God’s purpose for the Naga people is achieved. May His will be done sooner than later. The Naga Voluntary Plebiscite is one of the main political milestones of the sovereign right to Naga freedom. Therefore this National Day of ours must be remembered by one and all. We the Naga people must stand firm on this National right for freedom. For a long time, the Naga people have desperately wanted Naga unity in the homeland. Therefore on this basis, we the five Naga National Political Groups (NNPG) are working for a political solution that will be in the best interests of the Naga people by liaising with all the NGOs, Tribal Hohos and stakeholders to bring out the best political solution for all our people. The Naga people especially the National Political groups have missed so many opportunities in the past because of hatred, mistrust, stubbornness and disunity in particular. Therefore, we appeal to all the Naga people who stand for Naga unity and a political solution to come forward to join the mainstream of Nagaland. Let us finally therefore come together without any reservation or hesitation to put our heads and minds together to work out the best possible solution for freedom of Naga people as the political situation demands. KUKNALIM. Z. Royim the Acting President of Naga National Council

What is the relevance of the Naga Plebiscite today?

y Dear Nagas, for years, we have been observing the anniversary of the Naga Plebiscite on 16th May every year. Many years have passed since the plebiscite in 1951. Many of our great leaders and participants responsible for this historic document had passed away too. Before long, even the remnant few will be no more. Everything related to it will become history – cold and dead – unless we urgently recapture the vision that drove our people of yesteryears to make the plebiscite a reality, unless we own it up as part of our living history to translate them into a symbol of hope and victory for our tomorrow. Today with the change of time, some even amongst us may question the importance of such an event in our history while some may also doubt the relevance of commemorating this day itself. But for the rest of us, for those who love our nation

democracy. India claim itself to be the biggest democracy in the world, followed the policy of non-violence Under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi and won Independence from the British by adopting the non co-operation method. India has always being proud of these achievements but to the Nagas they are nothing short of mockery. India is a large and strong country and it showed its might against the Naga when it invaded the Naga inhabited land in 1955. Nagas wanted peace and India wanted war at any cost – this left the Nagas with only two options or alternative to surrender our rights lest we be crushed by the might of India or to fight for our rights. Our leaders decided no matter what happens, we will fight for our rights. This decision of our leaders is responsible for the history that we have and what we are today. The Nagas declared independence on 14th August 1947, one day ahead of India and after almost ten years, on 22nd March 1956 out of necessity established the Federal Government of Nagaland to protect and defend our people and our land. But it had only been through the providence of our Almighty God that Nagas have managed to survive the onslaughts of India. We believe that these are all part of God’s plans for Nagas and the reason He has been protecting us thus far. When we look back at our Naga history, we have been fierce lovers of freedom and equality. Each village enjoyed unquestionable freedom and no matter how powerful a village maybe, it does not go on conquering other villages and threatening them into submission. We even lack such colonial-imperial vocabularies as “submission” or “surrender”. It’s true that powerful or mother villages were recognised in terms of certain nominal tax or tribute, however, the practice was more of recognition either of their politi-

and our land, it is one of the strongest foundational pillars of our rights to live as a people with identity, dignity and freedom. The 16th May Plebiscite is a “decree of the Naga people.” It is a law and an oath we have given unto ourselves. The plebiscite was conducted in all its solemnness; some put their thump impressions with their own blood. And true to their commitment, they stood behind the Naga national cause through thick and thin, fully convinced that they have done it for the freedom of their children and their descendants to come. They did it for us. But what do we think of them today, we the present generation of Nagas? Or have we forgotten their sacrificial lives and deeds for us already? In our Naga traditional custom, commitments and promises used to be highly honoured. Our ancestors lived by their words. When they gave their words in solemn oaths, they did it from their hearts in awe and fear of the Supreme

Spirit. The welfare of the community was always above the interest of the individuals and it guided the society like an iron law. And so whenever leaders and elders in the community took a decision or an oath, the whole community would give their unwavering consensus and support. Yesterday, they made the loudest declaration for us. But are we giving the kind of recognition and gratitude coupled with respect they deserve? Irrespective of our attitude towards them and the plebiscite itself, as long as we make an argument to maintain a unique ethnic identity as Nagas, it will be to our shame and disgrace that we ignore or forget the “oath” of the plebiscite. We must never forget the fact that the oath of the plebiscite provided the unshakable background for the rise of many great leaders in our midst. It gave honour and authority to the leaders to take our Naga movement for self-determination to a great height. This must be

understood and evaluated in the context of whom or what we are up against - the great Indian state. The force of the plebiscite has even awakened the Indian state to see our movement differently though it is regretful to note that, instead of doing the right thing, it has chosen to apply the dirty “divide and rule” policy with an iron hand to undermine the vision and aspiration of the plebiscite. Had there been no plebiscite, our history of national struggle would have been very different indeed. For anyone who loves the land and the people, history continues to teach and inspire because vision of the future is never complete without its history. But for those who have no concern for their nation and society, history is an aberration and obstruction because it judges them. The same is true of our present context. The sufferings and sacrifices of our patriots and nationalists will judge those who pursue their selfish interest on the

foundation of our Naga nationalism. The blood and sweat of our people to uphold their plebiscite commitment yesterday have given us voice to speak and to stand up for ourselves with dignity and respect today. But some are probably under the illusion that it is the goodwill of the Indian state that the Nagas have been given a place within the Indian union as a state, forgetting all kinds of tragedies and miseries it has brought upon us through inhuman laws such as Armed Forces Special Power Act (AFSPA), forgetting the kinds of division and confusion it has nurtured and sustained in our society till date. The presence of draconian laws and brutal armed forces in our land, which are a negation of our dignity, freedom and identity, is a living evidence of Indian evil design against our existence as a self-respecting people. If only we listen more closely to the truth of the plebiscite, it will disclose the ugly faces

Can discarding of beacon light ensure justice to all?

he decision of Union Govt. to henceforth get rid of use of vehicle beacon light by VIPs (very important persons) including the top most country leaders has made it mandatory for the Govt. of Nagaland to adopt similar decision as publicised. It is apparently a humble exercise indeed. The objective is to develop a culture of courtesy that is expected to lead the VVIPs/VIPs to unassuming level of position so as to narrow down the gulf between the rulers and the ruled. The public servant in true democratic essence is to serve the public and not to be served. Perhaps there is realization that the position of public servant has been abused for years by both elected and appointed public servants at the Centre and in the States. No sooner had the Union Cabinet taken the decision to discard beacon light, Union Minister for Rd. Transport & Highways Sri. Nitin Gadkari removed the red beacon from his official car.

The Mizoram Chief Minister Mr. Lalthanhawla did the same. Here in Nagaland, the Governor BP Acharya had removed the VIP light from his vehicles as reported. With effect from May 1st, both the elected and the appointed here in Nagaland have also discontinued using VIP light, as generally known here in Nagaland, on their official vehicles. Since all the VIPs are not of same, some may be fuming at the decision particularly those who believe that public image oozes and retains out of decorated vehicle. This category of authorities may now be apprehensive that using ordinarily looked vehicle has halved their status in the eye of the public as they do not believe in the culture of earning respect out of deeds. Nevertheless, God has designed the male and female differently. Not only human but God has done the same to animals and birds. For instance, a rooster has prominent crest with erected long

tail feathers as against the namesake crest and flat tail feathers of a hen. The male deer has prominent branched antlers whereas its female does not have. Certain flock of birds have its leader identifiable with decorations. The lions have lengthy neck hair as against the uniform hair of lioness. All these God’s designs are but decorations for leadership. As for mankind, God has chosen leaders to control and manage the affairs of people. Those leaders have to have a higher status above the common man. The status in question is a necessity than of decoration. The path finders of birds and animals are naturally decorated and there nothing unnatural if the leaders of human are decorated too. I do not believe that the general public is neither envy nor consider it to be an irritant with VIPs using red beacon lights fitted to their official cars. How much does it downgrade the common man if VIPs do use decorated vehicles or how much will the

position of the common man be lifted up when VIPs discarded use of beacon light? What does it matter if the authorities continue to loot and plunder the public exchequer by riding expensive vehicles without VIP light fitted to it? It is not an austerity measure either. I therefore consider this decision of the Union Govt. to be more of populism and of pseudo sobriety. What is most essential is not the removal of beacon light from VIP’s car but reinvention of semblance of governance in the context of Nagaland. What is most needed is change of the mindset of VIPs from selfish culture to selfless culture, from vengeance to compassion, from opaqueness to transparency, from non-deliverance to deliverance and from irresponsibility to accountability. If not, non-use of vehicle beacon light by the authorities will be meaningless, useless and it remains a mere good joke. Z. Lohe

of our foes behind their superficial masks. Today our people have been divided up on several lines by many factors and forces which act against our national interest. Our political horizon appears hazy and bleak. But if only we look back, looking at the honour and courage of our people who express their will in the plebiscite against all odds, we can clear the mist of our political goal. The call of plebiscite was the expression of our unity sixty six years ago; prior to it, we had no common goal. It’s never too late to learn from our noble history. It is our time now. We should reflect and make our statement for our tomorrow, for those who are coming after us just like those who gave theirs for our today. May God grant us the wisdom and courage to uphold the legacy of those who have shown us the path of self-respect and freedom! Kuknalim. Zhopra Vero, Kedallo/Vice President, FGN

AZSU AMN appeals for reconciliation of apex bodies

DIMAPUR: The All Zeliangrong Students’ Union Assam, Manipur & Nagaland (AZSU AMN) has strongly urged the apex Zeliangrong Baudi (ZB) and Zeliangrong Union (ZU) to reconcile and reunite the Zeliangrong people at large. A press note by AZSU president, Nchaheing Kompoing, informed that decision to appeal for reconciliation of the apex bodies was taken during its 3rd Dimki at Jalukie on May 13. The Dimki took strong exception of the existing two apex bodies, thereby creating confusion and disharmony amongst the people, the note stated. AZSU therefore urged upon the duo to reconsider its position in the interest of the people and stand by the November 15, 2016 joint resolution, to unite and work for the welfare and unity of the Zeliangrong community.

According to latest depository data, FPIs invested a net Rs 5,318 crore (USD 825 million) in debt markets during May 2-12. Domestic equities closed at a new record high on hardening expectations of a rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India after consumer inflation eased in April to its lowest in at least five years.

Mumbai, May 15 (PTI): Continuing its dominance against the dollar, the rupee shot up by a whopping 26 paise to end at a fresh 21mth high of 64.05 driven by robust macro data even as exporters aggressively offloaded the American currency. This is the rupee’s highest closing since August 10, 2015, when it had ended at 63.87 against the US dollar. The forex market sentiment remained broadly supported after retail inflation dropped sharply to 2.99 per cent in April from 3.90 per cent in March while wholesale inflation (as per new series) slipped to a four-month low of 3.85 per cent. Though, industrial output growth slipped to 2.7 per cent in March as against 5.5 per cent a year ago, as per the new base year 2011-12. The rupee opened extremely bullish at 64.12 as against last weekend level of 64.31 at the Interbank Foreign Exchange market amid smooth supply of the US currency. It strengthened further to hit a fresh intra-day high of 64.03 before ending at 64.05, revealing a rise of 26 paise, or 0.40 per cent. The local unit has appreciated by a healthy 58 paise in the last three sessions. The RBI, meanwhile, fixed the reference rate for the dollar at 64.1188 and for the euro at 70.1332. Growing evidence of receding inflationary pressures fuelled further optimism over the strength of

ing into “America First” policies on trade and foreign relations under President Donald Trump. While some see Beijing’s project as a geopolitical powerplay, Xi has insisted that the Belt and Road is open to everybody. “In a world of growth, interdependence and challenges, no country can tackle the challenges or solve the world’s problems on its own,” he said as he sat next to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin and other leaders, including Turkish President Recep Tayyip Er-

Russia not involved in cyberattack: Putin BEIJING, MAY 15 (AFP): Russia had nothing to do with a massive global cyberattack, President Vladimir Putin said today, criticising the US intelligence community for creating the original software. Hundreds of thousands of computers in more than 150 countries have been hit by the ransomware attack, which has been described as the largest-ever of its kind. It began Friday and struck banks, hospitals and g ove r n m e n t a g e n c i e s among a variety of other targets, exploiting known vulnerabilities in older Microsoft computer operating systems.

“As for the source of these threats, Microsoft’s leadership stated this directly, they said the source of the virus was the special services of the United States,” Putin said. He was referring to a weekend blog post by Microsoft president Brad Smith stating that the US National Security Agency had developed the code being used in the attack. It was leaked as part of a document dump, according to researchers. “A genie let out of a bottle of this kind, especially created by secret services, can then cause damage to its authors and creators,” Putin said on the

sidelines of an international summit in Beijing. “ T h i s c o m p l e t e ly doesn’t concern Russia.” The US has accused Russia in the past of mounting several cyberattacks. In March the Justice Department indicted two officials of Russia’s Federal Security Service and two criminal hackers whom they allegedly hired to steal data from some 500 million Yahoo user accounts. While there was “no significant damage” to Russian institutions such as banks and hospitals, Putin said the incident was “worrisome” and warranted immediate talks “on a serious political level”.

BEIRUT, MAY 15 (AFP): An air strike by the US-led coalition killed 23 civilians today in a Syrian town held by the Islamic State group on the border with Iraq, a monitor said. The deaths came after 12 women were killed in a strike by the US-led coalition fighting IS in the east of Syria’s Raqa province on Sunday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Right said. The strike hit the town of Albu Kamal in the early hours of the morning, Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman said. “They hit a residential area at 3:00 am while people were sleeping, causing the high toll,” he said. He added that IS was using some apartments in the area targeted as local headquarters. The deaths came after 12 women were killed in a US-led coalition strike yesterday. The Observatory said that strike hit vehicles carrying farmworkers home from fields in the afternoon. IS has lost swathes of the territory it once held in Raqa province, though it still holds Raqa city and some areas to the east. A US-backed alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters known as the Syrian Democratic Forces is battling towards Raqa city, the jihadist group’s most important remaining Syrian bastion.

SEOUL, MAY 15 (AFP): North Korea today celebrated the launch of what appeared to be its longestrange ballistic missile yet tested in a bid to bring the US mainland within reach, saying it was capable of carrying a “heavy nuclear warhead”. Leader Kim Jong-Un personally oversaw the test yesterday, the official Korea Central News Agency (KCNA) said, and pictures by state media showed him gazing at the missile in a hangar before the launch. In others he gleefully clasped hands with officers and staff after the black missile -- named as the Hwasong-12 -- ascended into the sky in the dawn light, atop a column of fire. The isolated North is under multiple sets of United Nations sanctions over its nuclear and missile programmes, which have triggered global alarm. The missile was launched on an unusually h i g h t r a j e c t o r y, w i t h KCNA saying it flew to an altitude of 2,111.5 kilometres and travelled 787 kilometres before coming down in the Sea of Japan (East Sea). That suggests a range of 4,500 kilometres (2,800 miles) or more if flown for maximum distance, analysts said. Aside from Pyongyang’s space launches, Jeffrey Lewis of the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in the US told AFP: “This is the

It cited Kim as saying the North would never succumb to what it called the “highly ridiculous” US strategy of “militarily browbeating only weak countries and nations which have no nukes”. “If the US dares opt for a military provocation against the DPRK, we are ready to counter it,” it said. Tensions between the two reached a peak in recent weeks, with Washington saying military action was an option under consideration and Pyongyang issuing threats of its own. Trump later appeared to hold open the door to negotiations, saying he would be “honoured” to meet Kim and calling him a “smart cookie”.

The North has carried out two atomic tests and dozens of missile launches since the beginning of last year in its quest to develop a missile capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to the continental United States -- something President Donald Trump has vowed “won’t happen”.

Xi decries protectionism

BEIJING, MAY 15 (AFP): Chinese President Xi Jinping urged world leaders to reject protectionism today at a summit positioning Beijing as a champion of globalisation, as some countries raised concerns over his trade ambitions. Xi addressed almost 30 leaders on the second day of a forum on his new Silk Road plan, an infrastructure project Beijing hopes will revive ancient trade routes from Asia to Europe and Africa. “Globalisation is encountering some headwinds,” Xi told leaders from Spain to Turkey, Russia and Pakistan at a convention centre near the Great Wall on the outskirts of Beijing. “We need to seek results through greater openness and cooperation, avoid fragmentation, refrain from setting inhibitive thresholds for cooperation or pursuing exclusive arrangements, and reject protectionism.” The Chinese leader is using the international gathering to promote his signature foreign policy project, the One Belt, One Road initiative.

Infotainment NASA, ISRO team up to inspect name given to the double ‘oldest civilisation’ who has kindly stepped in

Avril Lavinge’s death rumours debunked A T the name ‘Avril Lavigne’ is written in black, representing mourning the singer, and the ‘new’ Lavigne is in black with a red cross on his shoulder. The name ‘Under My Skin’ is red. The colors on the cover seem to suggest mourning and blood. [sic]” I mean, I’m not entirely convinced that a colour scheme proves an artist is dead. If so, should we be worried about Jack White? You know what, they’re kind of on the money here. First, on ‘My Happy Ending’ she sings these dark words: “In a city so dead/ So high hanging/In such a fragile rope“. Then she follows that up with this line on ‘Together’: “The truth comes to me and I’m living a lie“. When you compare to first album lyrics, such as ‘SK8r Boi’s “He was a skater boi/I said see ya later boy“, they are admittedly far “moodier”. They add that just before this album came out in 2004, band member and close friend Evan Taubenfeld left her group. He addressed this in a duet with Lavigne, called ‘The Best Years Of Our Lives’, with the line “I never thought I would lose my best friend“, which the blog suggests means he must have known

Lana Del Rey unveils new song ‘Coachella – Woodstock In My Mind’

ana Del Rey has shared a brand new track ‘Coachella – Woodstock In Mind’. Following on from launch single ‘Love‘ and the title track featuring The Weeknd, ‘Coachella – Woodstock In my Mind’ is taken from Del Rey’s upcoming new album ‘Lust For Life‘. Backed by subtle R&B beats, the track is Del Rey’s signature, brooding pop-noir approach before blooming into a much more three-dimensional, cinematic affair – packed with vivid imagery of her imagination being sent back while enjoying the music and crowds of the California desert.

Describing the new album as ‘more socially aware’, Del Rey said of ‘Lust For Life’: “I started out thinking that the whole record was gonna have a sort of a ’50s-’60s feeling, kind of some kind of Shangri-Las, early Joan Baez influences.” “But I don’t know, as the climate kept on getting more heated politically, I found lyrically everything was just directed towards that. So because of that, the sound just got really updated, and I felt like it was more wanting to talk to the younger side of the audience that I have. I guess it’s a little more socially aware. It’s kind of a global feeling.”

Katy Perry announces new album ‘Witness’

that it was the “new” Lavigne on the track. This one’s a real stretch. It claims that because Lavigne dropped her punky, skater aesthetic after the first album and opted for a more middle-of-the-road regular pop star vibe that means “you will realise that they [sic] seem to be two different people”. Now here’s where we get really dubious. Apparently, the official Avril Lavigne website initially listed her height at 1.58m when she first burst onto the scene in 2002. Google now however lists her at 1.55m. So she’s either shrunk 3cm, lied about her height or no one bothered to check what kind of shoes she was wearing in the first measurement. Take your pick. So, saying

as her replacement. This name came from a photoshoot done by Avril where she has the name ‘Melissa’ scrawled on her hand. Our verdict? Bollocks, obviously, but we admire the lengths gone to to prove this theory true, even if the “evidence” won’t convince anyone. As Avril once sang, “Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?” Don’t ask us Avril, we’re with you.

all this is true (it’s not), who is currently acting as a replacement for Avril Lavigne? Melissa Vandella is apparently the

eams of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) would inspect the excavation being carried out at an archaeological site in Haryana’s Fatehabad district to verify claims of it being the oldest civilisation in the world. Archaeologists have recovered artefacts pre-dating the Harappan Civilisation from the site, located in village Kunal in Fatehabad district. NASA and ISRO inspection is likely to be done in October this year, 2017, Haryana Archaeology and Museums Minister Ram Bilas Sharma said on Monday. “The recovery of artefacts, estimated to be 6,000 years old, strongly indicated that the civilisation that had flourished in Kunal was in fact the oldest civilisation in the world. The Harappan Civilisation, considered so far to be the oldest civilisation, flourished about 3,500 years ago,” the Minister said. The artefacts recovered included ornaments and pots, apart from spherical structures.

Tarantino isn’t racist with his movies: Samuel L. Jackson

ctor Samuel L. Jackson has defended Quentin Tarantino, saying it is impossible that the filmmaker “is racist with his movies”. Tarantino’s last two m ov i e s “ D j a n g o U n chained” and “The Hateful Eight” received criticism upon release for the frequent use of the N-word, with some movie fans accusing him of racism. Jackson is seen defending the filmmaker’s work in an unearthed interview from “The Hateful Eight” release last year, reports express.co.uk. He said: “He (Quentin) has enough problem being vilified himself as a racist because he uses n***** in his scripts that much, or puts those kinds of words in a character’s mouth.” Jackson continued: “I always tell people... I can’t understand why they can’t look at his work and realise that every character he’s given me has pretty much been the smartest

deal with the language of the time. And that was the language of the time. I grew up in the South. I heard ‘n*****’ all my life. I’m not disturbed by it.”

‘If God wills, I’ll enter politics’

uperstar Rajinikanth on Monday kept his fans guessing on his entry into politics, saying if it is God’s will, he will step into the arena. The actor, who met his fans after a gap of some eight years here, also said if he enters politics, he will be truthful and will not entertain people who want to make money. “God decides what we have to do in life. Right now, he wants me to be an actor and I’m fulfilling my

responsibility. If God willing, I will enter politics tomorrow. If I enter, I will be very truthful and will not entertain people who are in this to make money. I won’t work with such people,” Rajinikanth told his fans, who had gathered at Raghavendra Mandapam. One of his die-hard fans said: “If Rajinikanth sir becomes a politician, he will be the best.” Another fan said: “Thalaiva should announce his own party and clean up Tamil Nadu. He is the only one who can save Tamil Nadu and take it forward again.” The 66-year-old star described his brief stint in politics two decades ago as a “political accident”. In 1996, during the Tamil Nadu assembly election campaign, Rajinikanth denounced J. Jayalalithaa

and her politics. His strong remarks contributed to her defeat. “I did a mistake by supporting a political alliance 21 years ago. It was a political accident. Since then, politicians have misused my name on several occasions. But I have to clarify, I’m not joining any party,” he added. N eve r t h e l e s s, h i s hint at a political role for himself was lapped up by Tamil Nadu BJP unit chief Tamilisai Soundararajan, who said the Bharatiya Janata Party would welcome any leader who is clean and wants to clean up politics and corruption in public life. Back in 2014, as the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi had called on Rajinikanth at his residence here. But the actor had termed it as a courtesy call and said no political significance should be attached to it.

vril Lavigne is alive and kicking. She hung out with her mum yesterday for Mother’s Day. She had a lovely time. Nevertheless, the rumour that the real Avril Lavigne is dead and that has been replaced by an imposter keeps resurfacing. It’s the conspiracy that won’t quit, and to mark the 15th anniversary of her debut single ‘Complicated’, those claims have resurfaced. One mystery-busting Brazilian blog has compiled all of the ‘evidence’ through the years and reckons it has definitive proof that the punky pop star is in fact dead, and the Avril Lavigne who now stalks the earth is nothing but a fake. Here are the main points of the argument: She called her second album ‘Under My Skin’ The theory alleges that Lavigne “died” in 2003 at the age of 19, a year after the release of her debut album ‘Let Go’. Her second album ‘Under My Skin’ was released in 2004 and the blogger insists that the title “is very suggestive” of the truth. Is it? They also claim that the album’s title means that the ‘new’ Lavigne is living “under the skin” of the actual Avril Lavigne. “Note that

Paris, May 15 (IANS): French football club Monaco put one of their hands on the first Ligue 1 trophy for the first time since 2000 with a 4-0 home win against Lille to go three points clear atop the table with only one round remaining. Paris Saint-Germain found it almost impossible to defend their title despite a 5-0 road victory over Saint-Etienne as Monaco had a far superior goal difference and a game in hand. Radamel Falcao scored one goal apiece in both halves on Sunday. His attacking partner Kylian Mbappe finished two assists with his speed and agility to Bernardo Silva and Falcao. With two minutes remaining, the leaders sealed a four-goal win with Lille player Junior Alonso’s own goal. PSG’s unstoppable striker Edinson Cavani brought his league goal tally to 35 with a brace. His teammate Lucas also scored two. The other goal came from Julian Draxler. The only way for PSG to turn around the table would be for them to win the season finale and Monaco to lose the two remaining games with a huge deficit. Monaco could get a tight grip on the title with a draw against Saint-Etienne next Wednesday.

Cristiano Ronaldo celebrates with James Rodriguez after scoring their side’s second goal against Sevilla on Sunday. (AP/PTI) M A D R I D, M ay 1 5 (Agencies): The fight for the La Liga title will go down to the last day of the season after convincing wins for Real Madrid and Barcelona on Sunday left them locked together on 87 points at the top of the table. Madrid remain in the driving seat after the European champions saw off Sevilla 4-1 as they have two games remaining to Barca’s one. However, Barca remain on top thanks to their better head-to-head record with Neymar scoring a hattrick as they also won 4-1 at

Las Palmas. Madrid visit Celta in their game in hand on Wednesday and then travel to Malaga, whilst Barca host Eibar on the final day next Sunday. Sevilla have now won just three of their last 13 games as their season has petered out to a disappointing end. However, they gave Madrid more than a few scares at the Santiago Bernabeu. Nacho gave the hosts the lead in controversial fashion as he curled home a quick free-kick with the Sevilla defence caught unawares and their protests towards referee Alberto

Undiano Mallenco falling on deaf ears. Sevilla fired their first warning shot when Stefan Jovetic smashed a shot against the post from the edge of the area. However, moments later it was 2-0 as Sergio Rico could only palm James Rodriguez’s effort into the path of Cristiano Ronaldo to score his 400th Madrid goal. Jovetic then saw a fine chipped effort come back off the bar and was denied by Keylor Navas when played through by Joaquin Correa as Sevilla continued to threaten. And

Nadal claims fifth Madrid title

Nadal salutes his home crowd after being awarded the trophy for winning the Madrid Open M adrid, M ay 1 5 (IANS): Spanish No.1 Rafael Nadal claimed his fifth Mutua Madrid Open title with a 7-6 (10), 6-4 win over eighth seeded Dominic Thiem here. Sunday’s win also means that Nadal has now won 30 ATP Masters 1000 Series titles in his long

career, more than anyone who is currently playing, reports Xinhua news agency. The first set saw Thiem try and adopt an attacking attitude against Nadal, who had only recently defeated him in Barcelona. That attitude saw him take an early service break

to silence the partisan crowd in Madrid, but Nadal was able to break back in the sixth game as Thiem paid for his aggression with too many unforced errors. The first set went to a tie break in which Nadal always looked to be on top, but it was not until the fifth time of asking that he was able to win the decisive point. Nadal then broke immediately at the start of the second set and the games went with serve until the ninth game when Nadal had two Championship points on Thiem’s serve. However, the Austrian battled back bravely and saved them both before serving out the game. He also showed courage in the final game of the match, forcing four break points on Nadal’s serve as both players gave everything, until Nadal finally claimed the title at the fourth time of asking.

they finally got back in the game through Jovetic’s neat finish from outside the box three minutes into the second-half. Yet, just as the hosts’ ner ves were becoming frayed, Ronaldo appeared once more by crashing home Toni Kroos’s cutback to restore Real’s two goal lead. And Kroos rounded off the scoring himself by prodding into the far corner six minutes from time. Barcelona kept the pressure on despite a series of defensive absences that meant Brazilian 21-yearold Marlon Santos was handed a full debut in the Canary Islands. The visitors still hand all of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar to call on up front and the latter two combined to give Barca a 2-0 half-time lead. After wonderful passes from Sergio Busquets and Andres Iniesta, Suarez squared for Neymar to open the scoring. The roles were reversed two minutes later as Neymar’s chip freed Suarez to dink home his 36th goal of the season. Pedro Bigas momentarily gave Las Palmas hope just after the hour mark. But Neymar headed home Ivan Rakitic’s cross and then sealed his first hat-trick of the season 19 minutes from time when he slotted in Jordi Alba’s through ball.

Spurs bid farewell to White Hart lane with win over Man United

Wanyama wheels away in celebration with Harry Kane as Spurs got off to the perfect start against Manchester United. L o n d o n, M ay 1 5 ( I A NS ) : To t t e n h a m Hotspurs bid farewell to their home at White Hart Lane with a 2-1 victory over Manchester United in week 37 of English Premier League (EPL) action, finishing the football season without a single home loss for the first time since the 1964-1965 season. Kenyan midfielder Victor Wanyama opened the scoring for the Spurs at the six-minute mark in the first half here on Sunday. Just four minutes into the second half, Christian Eriksen sent a flawless cross that found Harry Kan, who fired it into the roof of the net to double Tottenham’s tally. With 19 minutes to go, Wayne Rooney pulled one back for the Red Devils,

who could not tie it and suffered another disappointing loss that shredded their chances of reaching the Champions League through the EPL gate. Tottenham, for its part, is guaranteed to finish the season in second place, the team’s highest position since 1963. After the match, cheering supporters took the field

to celebrate the squad’s last victory at White Hart Lane, which has been the team’s home ground for 118 years. Tottenham will play its home games at iconic Wembley Stadium here next season before moving to a new 61,000-seat stadium that is scheduled to open for the 2018-2019 season.
