Dedicating to the nation the 9.15 km-long bridge, named after Dadasaheb Phalke awardee and legendary lyricist-singer Bhupen Hazarika who hailed from Sadiya, he said it will serve as the foundation for a new economic revolution and help India in its efforts to become a superpower.

Speaking on the Act East Policy, the prime minister said he wanted the northeast region to become a trade hub for southeast Asia by connecting the area for economic activity.

“For this, we are laying stress on development of infrastructure and making the northeast a tourism centre. Lakhs of tourists

would also come to Kamakhya temple and improve the economy,” he said.

“The bridge will not only save money, reduce travel time but comes as a foundation for the beginning of a new economic revolution. That is why the whole nation has its eyes on this bridge,” he said.

“The reduction of dis-

tance by 165 km and cutting travel time by seven to eight hours will open new doors for economic development... The bridge will bring development to Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.

Modi said the bridge would open new road for the high-quality ginger grown by farmers of the

region and improve their economic condition.

Before the bridge was constructed people had to depend on ferry boats to cross the Lohit river.

“Now, the bridge will be open 365 days 24X7 for movement of traffic. We are giving stress on development of roads, bridges, rails, air and waterways which are environmentfriendly and economical.

New waterways will start from here,” the prime minister said.

The bridge built at a cost of Rs 2,056 crore is 3.55 km longer than the Bandra-Worli Sea link.

The length of the bridge, including viaducts, is 9.15 km with 7.3 km approach road from the Dhola side and 12.5 km from Sadia side. The carriageway width is three lanes (10.5 metre).

With importance accorded to quick movement of military troops and artillery, the bridge has been designed to allow movement of tanks, official sources said.

DIMAPUR, MAY 26 (NPN): Nagaland Foothill Road Coordination Committee (NFHRCC) has reminded state chief minister Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu to discuss with the cabinet at the earliest on the construction of foothill road and sanction the remaining Rs. 11.5 crore required for the 8km earth cutting at Niuland and Naginimora sectors.

The committee has resolved this at its emergency meeting held on Friday at Dimapur, as the chief minister had failed to respond on his assurance (that he would consult with his cabinet and intimate the cabinet decision to the NHFRCC) even after one month had lapsed, NFHRCC convener Supu Jamir told media persons.

The committee also urged all the “Naga legislators” to discuss or debate the matter on the floor of the house as the foothill road “does not belong to the committee but to the whole Naga family”. “Having

elected with the mandate of the public, the elected representatives should also be maintained in both letter and spirit”, Supu said. NHFRCC also slammed state government for deliberately ignoring the people’s project by not releasing the fund for the last three consecutive years.

According to Supu, the chief minister expressed his inability to sanction the remaining Rs. 11. 5 crore as the financial stability of the state was not in a good position, when the committee called upon him at his office chamber at Kohima on April 27, 2017. However, he had assured to consult with the cabinet and intimate the decision to the committee, the convenor said.

In the light of the above, NFHRCC urged the state government to seriously and expeditiously take up the historic project. The committee further cautioned state government that non-compliance on their demand would invite “ugly consequences” and that NFHRCC would not be held accountable.

DIMAPUR, MAY 26 (NPN): A court here has reserved the order on a complaint filed against Lok Sabha MP Neiphiu Rio on charges of filing a false affidavit over his educational qualification in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

The case was heard by Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Dimapur, Ajongba Imchen over two hours and in which Rio appeared along with his family and supporters. After the hearing, Rio’s Counsel Vitsorel Lcho told media persons that, “the case is being delayed for almost two years and our appeal before the court is to dismiss the case as the limitation period of the case is over and the charges are not relevant”. The counsel also asserted that there was a specific period to file a case against a particular charge. He was however, optimistic that the court will consider and dismiss the case. The error was on the part of the college authority and the MP with no criminal intention committed the mistake, reiterated Lcho. Quoting Article 20 of Constitution of India, the Counsel defended “one should not be prosecuted twice for the same case”.

KO H I M A , M AY 2 6 (NPN): Chief Minister Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsü reiterated that Goods and Service Tax (GST) regime was going to be a milestone for making the tax administration in the state more effective and transparent and would have a beneficial effect on the consumers and the economy as a whole.

He however said that in the event of loss of revenue, the state would be compensated for the shortfall in collection by the central government for the next five years as per the revenue act which has been passed

Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsü

by the parliament.

Real achievers share success for society: Governor Govt to introduce local

languages in all schools

Correspondent

Kohima, May 26 (NPN): Governor of Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh P.B. Acharya emphasised that real achievers were not those who acquire degrees, make a lot of money or live comfortable lives but those who share their knowledge and success with others of society as they have a burden to take society and the state forward.

The Gover nor said this while speaking at the presentation ceremony of the Governor’s award and NBSE award and felicitation of rank holder of the HSLC and HSSLC examinations 2017 at Raj Bhavan Kohima on Friday.

In this regard, he said there was need for opening up various branches of private firms in ENPO areas and other backward regions to provide quality education.

On the “alarming rate of unemployment”, the Governor urged upon all schools and educational institutions to introduce more skill related subjects and courses, apart from the existing ones to meet the

demands and requirement of the state. He also encouraged schools and education department to engage with industrial and commercial firms so that the courses introduced were suited to meet the needs of the state.

The Governor pointed that due lack of employment opportunities in the state many qualified graduates were forced to work outside the state and said

this need to be addressed.

He said that no one can be good in all fields but all need to utilise their individual skills to contribute towards better life.

He also congratulated the state government for its decision to introduce mother tongue as the second language from next year in schools from classes V – VIII. (Cont’d on p-8)

Kohima , M ay 2 6 (NPN): Principal secretary, school education and SCERT, FP Solo, Friday informed that the state government has decided to introduce local languages in all the schools both government and private, and do away alternative English from Class V to VIII in a phased manner from next year.

He said the move was with the view to preserve, protect and promote local languages and to give opportunity to every child to learn his or her mother tongue.

He appealed to all the stakeholders to cooperate in implementing the important policy of the government.

Solo said this in his address during presenta-

tion of Governor’s award and NBSE award to the toppers and felicitation of rank holder of the HSLC and HSSLC examinations held at Raj Bhavan on Friday.

Stressing the importance of preserving mother tongue, principal secretary said that according to UNESCO all the Naga languages were in the list of endangered languages, which could face extinction if proper care was not taken to preserve them.

He said unfortunately 90% of Naga students opted for alternative English in lieu of local languages and some children speak either English or Nagamese at home. “If this trend continues, we would lose our uniqueness and identity which our forefathers fought so hard to preserve them,” Solo said.

by both the Centre and the States since India’s independence and the manner in which they were implemented had created a lot of complexities.

Dr.Liezietsü said a deeper analysis also revealed that there exists inefficiency to a large degree in the taxation system and the structure only led to tax on tax and thereby making the businesses expensive and uncompetitive.

He said multiple taxation process leads to a cascading of taxes, resulting in increased prices affecting the end consumer.

In the present tax regime, he said if all the sale points happen to be within the State, there is some relief in the form of Value Added Tax (VAT) under which, one was allowed to take the credit for the tax already paid in the previous transaction.

He further called upon the GBs to change the system for the future generation, while appealing the 24 villages under Pughoboto sub-division to support and uplift R&B Minister for his leadership qualities and developmental activities in the areas.

PM launches SAMPADA in Assam

KO L KATA , M ay 2 6 (Agencies): A mortar shell exploded short of its target on Thursday during exercises at a firing range near Arunachal Pradesh’s Tawang, killing one soldier and injuring six others.

The injured soldiers were flown out in helicopters to Tezpur. Three of them were admitted to a hospital there, while the other three critically injured soldiers have been flown to the Army’s Command Hospital in Kolkata.

According to sources, a technical defect may have caused the mortar shell to fall short of this expected range. Both the gun and the ammunition will be tested for defects. If the ammunition is found defective, the whole batch will be sent back to the supplier. A court of inquiry has been ordered into the incident and findings are expected to be in within

in 10 days. A decision will be taken after the court of inquiry gives its findings and recommendations.

“Such incidents are not completely unusual but the loss of lives is always unfortunate,” said a retired artillery officer of the army.

The families of all the soldiers have been informed about the incident.

Tawang is one of the remotest outposts, where the army men serve in extreme conditions. Also called Little Tibet, Tawang is controlled

by India but is claimed by China and is one of most contentious issues in the India-China relations.

In January 2016, two Border Security Force men were killed and five others injured as a mortar shell accidentally went off in Rajasthan’s Jaisalmer district. The blast took place during a training exercise in a firing range in Kishangarh.

Dhola-Sadiya bridge a brainchild of Cong: Gogoi

Guwahati, May 26 (Agencies):Former Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Friday attacked the BJP-led central government for trying to take credit for the newly constructed longest bridge on Lohit river in Assam, saying that it was the “brainchild” of the Congress.

“Today is one of the greatest days for the people of Assam as the India’s longest and Asia’s second longest Dhola-Sadiya bridge is inaugurated by Prime Miniser Narendra Modi,” Gogoi said in a series of tweets.

“The bridge was our brainchild and it was approved in 2009 by the Union Cabinet and physical work started in 2011 where the work was awarded to Navayuga Engineering Company Ltd,” he said.

The Congress leader’s remarks came soon after Modi inaugurated the bridge and accused the Congress of delaying its construction.

become a global organic hub as there is huge market potential in this area,” the prime minister said.

Modi talked about his government’s aim to double agricultural income of farmers in the country and change the destiny of rural economy by giving thrust to the agricultural sector.

“I have a dream to double the income of farmers by 2022 when the nation completes 75 years of independence and we have five years to achieve this,” he said, stressing on the need to modernise the agriculture sector with

GUWAHATI, May 26 (Agencies): With a year behind it, the BJP-led government’s promise of protecting jati, mati and bheti (identity, land and homestead) by making the state free of illegal migrants from Bangladesh is yet to be fulfilled.

“It has been three years of the BJP government at the Centre and one year of the BJP-led government in the state. Both the governments had promised to detect and deport foreigners from the state.

According to me, nothing has happened in reality since both governments came to power,” working president of Assam Sanmilita Mahasangha (ASM) Motiur Rahman said.

While recent eviction drives against encroachers from government lands and from plots belonging t o s a t r a s ( Va i s h n av i t e monasteries) is being touted as the government’s commitment to secure land for the indigenous people, people of the state are yet to see any progress in making the state immigrants free as was promised.

The ASM has petitioned the Supreme Court against Section 6A of the Citizenship Act, 1955 which included Assam Accord’s cut-off date (March 25, 1971) for

the help of science and technology.

“We have to march ahead and we are not talking about a second Green Revolution, but Sada kal harit kal – Green Revolution always and for this, we are committed to modernize agriculture sector by adopting a holistic approach,” he said.

The country, according to the prime minister, is blessed with the advantage of varied seasons, diversity of land and agriculture methods. “Scientists of a particular region must conduct research and

determining foreigners in the state. The case is being heard by the Supreme’s Court’s constitutional bench.

“The verdict of the constitutional bench of the apex court will only set the source of solving foreigner issue in the state. All our hope now lies with the apex court,” Rahman said.

BJP, however, reiterated that the Sarbananda Sonowal government is firm on settling the protracted immigrants’ problem by implementing the Assam Accord clause by clause.

“Our government is fully focused on making Assam free of foreigners, corruption, terrorism and pollution. These are the commitments our gover nment is working relentlessly to fulfil. We have an unwavering stand on these commitments,” BJP spokesperson Pramod Swami said.

One of the resolutions p a s s e d b y t h e B J P ’s executive meeting last month passed was on the government’s seriousness on solving the foreigners’ problem by preparing a foolproof National Register of Citizens (NRC).

The speed, or alleged lack of it, of the state government’s NRC update process has not gone down well with many.

“We want the problem

of Bangladeshis (foreigners) to be solved once and for all. For this NRC, updating work has to be sped up.

Unfortunately, this is not happening,” MP and All India United Democratic Front chief Badr uddin Ajmal said.

But both the state g o ve r n m e n t a n d B J P defended it, saying that the NRC updating work is progressing in a meticulous manner to ensure that no foreigner’s name is included in the document.

While the BJP-led gover nment asser ts its commitment to solve the foreigner’s problem, it also came in for criticism regarding the Centre’s proposal to grant citizenship to religious minorities from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan by amending the Citizenship Act. Several organisations in the state are up in arms against the proposal, fearing that the state’s indigenous population will be swamped by the influx of religious minorities from Bangladesh.

In an effort to allay this fear, Union home minister on December last year, assured here that Assamese identity and culture would be safeguarded by providing constitutional, administrative and legislative protection under the Clause 6 of Assam Accord.

Guwahati, May 26 (PTI): Bodoland Territorial Council Chief Hagrama Mohilary today said only the BJP government has worked for giving land rights to the indigenous people and slammed the Congress for lack of development during its tenure in the state.

“It is not the credit of Akhil Gogoi. He should not think that because of his agitation it is happening,” Mohilary, who is also the Bodoland Peoples Front said at a public really celebrating the first anniversary of Sarbananda Sonowal-led BJP government in the state.

First it was at Pangti in Wokha district in 2013 that the mission began. It was reported that each year around 60,000 Amur falcons used to be slaughtered for consumption and this report, if precise or not, had shocked the entire conservation world. According to official reports, each year, Amur falcons (Falco amurensis) fly 22,000 km from Siberia to Africa -the longest migration of any raptor.

Nagaland in India is their last stop before a 3000 km-long flight across the Indian Ocean. The birds have traditionally been hunted in Nagaland during their roosting period, but in 2012, reports of mass killings caused consternation across the world.

Addressing this issue, WTI’s Rapid Action Project (RAP) has initiated activities involving villagers in protecting the falcons. The Doyang Reservoir in Wokha district of Nagaland plays host to hundreds of thousands of Amur falcons in October and November - believed to be the largest congregation of migrating Amur falcons in any one site in the world.

The success of the Amur falcon conservation project in Wokha district involved the complete turn around form slaughter to shelter- in that, villagers near the Doyang Reservoir turned from predators to protectors. The conservation team satellite tagged Naga and Pangti, which in Nagaland and were tracked flying over vast stretches of land and sea over the Arabian Sea, after passing over Bangladesh, the Bay of Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra towards their final destination in South Africa. The success of the save Amur falcon in Wokha proved to be a boon and also served as an inspiration. People who used to look forward to trapping the birds at the roosting site for consumption, seemed to have developed a different taste called conservation. Their appetite for wild life meat which is legendary, has given way to another appetite- to ensure the survival of the species. After the Doyang Reservoir/Wokha district successful conservation story, people living in Niuland under Dimapur district have also become conservationists. The success story at Wokha which received international acclaim seems to have been the inspiration. The GB Hakhezhe village in Niuland took on the mission and also highlighted the uniqueness of the Hakheze roosting site that was found in teak plantations and not in a natural forest. In 2016 the satellite tagged bird named after the village ‘Hakhizhe’ was released in the village on November 10. Next, the villagers of Longleng district also took up the conservation.

Similarly, “Longleng,” one of the five satellite-tagged Amur Falcons released during the intervening months of October and November 2016 from different locations of Nagaland completed its one cycle journey and has safely passed the region as it proceeds towards Siberia, its breeding location.

In total, five satellite-tagged Amur Falcons namely Longleng, Phom, Enium, Hakhizhe and Intanki were released from Yaongyimchen roosting site (Longleng District), Pangti Roosting site (Wokha district), Intanki National Park roosting site (Peren District) and Hakhizhe roosting site (Dimapur District) during October and November 2016. The lesson that can be drawn from the Amur falcon conservation is that people have become quite aware of their role and responsibility for conservation and that needs to be sparked and spurred.

DailyDevotion Thinking of Prayer as Jesus Taught Pray without ceasing… —1 Thessalonians 5:17 Our thinking about prayer, whether right or wrong, is based on our own mental conception of it. The correct concept is to think of prayer as the breath in our lungs and the blood from our hearts. Our blood flows and our breathing continues “without ceasing”; we are not even conscious of it, but it never stops. And we are not always conscious of Jesus keeping us in perfect oneness with God, but if we are obeying Him, He always is. Prayer is not an exercise, it is the life of the saint. Beware of anything that stops the offering up of prayer. “Pray without ceasing…”— maintain the childlike habit of offering up prayer in your heart to God all the time.

Jesus never mentioned unanswered prayer. He had the unlimited certainty of knowing that prayer is always answered. Do we have through the Spirit of God that inexpressible certainty that Jesus had about prayer, or do we think of the times when it seemed that God did not answer our prayer? Jesus said, “…everyone who asks receives…” (Matthew 7:8). Yet we say, “But…, but….” God answers prayer in the best way— not just sometimes, but every time. However, the evidence of the answer in the area we want it may not always immediately follow. Do we expect God to answer prayer?

The danger we have is that we want to water down what Jesus said to make it mean something that aligns with our common sense. But if it were only common sense, what He said would not even be worthwhile. The things Jesus taught about prayer are supernatural truths He reveals to us.

Post-mortem Indo-Naga special relations agreement: No use asking “eye for eye” T An underlying political exigency

N

agas are a pluralist society deeply rooted to their ancient socialist, theological, cultural and democratic values.

Naga territory lies contiguously between India, Myanmar and China. Despite their simplicity, honesty and marvellous hospitality, Nagas were great warriors.

They were considered to be the toughest defenders of their homeland against the mighty forces of the British colonial powers. It appears, inter alia, the fierce and brilliant encounters of the Nagas against the then intruding British colonial forces in the early part of the 19th century whose primary motive of aggression was purely of trade and commerce was the main reason for forcibly dividing the Nagas so as to gradually weaken them.

The Nagas’ committed struggle for full sovereignty and independence was another determining political reason why the then BritishIndia and Independent India maliciously put Naga territories under different countries and states in India and Myanmar. All these ill political measures were adopted to eventually control and supervise easily over the Naga territories and their political struggle. These hard historical realities and existential situations have wrongfully caused great marginalization of Naga democracy and gover nance in the contemporary South East Asia where they belong.

Let’s think it over and over again; it is the true Nagas alone, wherever they may be, who can persistently pursue and deal critically to the vexed Naga national issue pending for nearly a century. Others will fall away even before the test of time comes to pass.

In this fast changing world, the dynamics of the long drawn Naga political struggle and the prevailing realities of Naga society need to be correctly synthesized. Nobody can deny the fact that Nagas have

every right to indefinitely continue their legitimate struggle for recognition of full sovereignty and independence. But the point is that India has, time and again, clearly manifested her strong reservation on the political question of Naga independence as the Naga territorial location (frontier) stands very critical to India national security. Meaning, India seriously considered the Nagas and their land as Vital Pillars of national security. This is where the crux of the Indo-Naga conflict lies which needs to be correctly synthesized, negotiated and addressed with true political will and wisdom for working out an honourable solution based on the concept of ‘shared sovereignty’ between two equally associating political entities. This is to say that the pending Indo-Naga core issue appears to be about recognition of the Naga nation (member of UNPO with observer status in UNO) and her territory as well as recognition of the political exigency to find an amicable solution for establishing special relations between the two by sharing sovereign powers.

Naga struggle being the longest and oldest insurgency (national) movement in South East Asia, has been encountering unending multiple issues, problems and challenges both from within and without that need to be comprehensively addressed. As a matter of fact, many Nagas have become victims of the problems mostly designed and manufactured by elements anti-thetical to the making of a Naga nation.

Apart from all the national workers, it is the Naga Villages, different Tribe Hohos, NSF, NMA, NPMHR, UNC, ENPO, NGBF, Naga Hoho, etc. who have long been championing the Naga cause with great hardships and sacrifices. They have ultimately conquered the hearts of the Central and State leaders in bringing pro-

active approach to the very core ‘united Naga national issue’ which requires urgent political resolution. There seems to be no pending issue other than this. There is no need for any individual or tribe to be plagued with political backslide from the earlier faith and vision for a united Naga nation thereby tending to compromise to everything within the bounds of the status quo.

A struggling Naga society has learnt to unitedly rise up every time they fall. Having walked all this along, Nagas neither have to fall away nor fail during this most defining moment when India and the rest of the world are keenly testing on the maturity, capacity, unity, integrity and the firm commitment of the Nagas towards a peaceful political self-determination and nation building of their own. The true forgiveness and the peace of Jesus Christ be showered upon all Nagas in this nick of time.

Let the bitter experiences of the past no more detain the Nagas from moving forward together. Majority of the Nagas have been relentlessly working hard showcasing their innovative, intellectual, frame breakingthinking and God trusting mission oriented with common objective to usher peaceful transformation of Naga society to a higher level by transforming its democratic polity through humane, political, scientific and technological systems.

Will Nagas wilfully destroy this hard earned defining momentum? Will Nagas only know how best to fight but not how best to win and resolve it? Will Nagas only know how best to create division but not how best to bring unity?

Will Nagas only know how best to begin well a struggle but not how best to bring a good ending of it? If at all Nagas need unity, love, support and concern for each other, it matters now the most. Nagas must not make mistake at this critical stage of their journey. Generally

Nagas are broadminded people. Every Naga has been supporting directly or indirectly for the peaceful resolution of the protracted Indo-Naga conflict. Everyone really yearns for peace.

Nagas must equally extend peace and good will to all neighbours and established entrenched socio-economic relations with them. In fact, Nagas can be an asset and a model of best security to their neighbours. It’s simply a world of diplomacy, exchange and cooperation India, on her part has mastered the Naga case during this nearly 20 years of political peace process.

The detailed work-out of the Framework Agreement may be brought to its logical conclusion at the earliest with a win-win solution.

A well known old dilatory tactics will no longer do good to India. Instead, India being one of the fastest growing nation-states under the most dynamic and charismatic leadership of Shri Narendra Modiji, the Honourable Prime Minister, must be able to work out a just and honourable solution (method) to establish a special relation with the Nagas. It may, consequently, take necessary steps to duly restore back the Nagas in Myanmar to India’s associate-Naga territory. Betraying the Nagas this time again may compel them to seek either UN intervention or to join their fellow Naga brethren in Myanmar to become an associated state of that new democratic country. Hope, India will surely apply her best mind and wisdom in the interest of justice and peace in the region and for all mankind of God’s creation.

Dr. Vareso Ningshen, (ningshen.vareso@ gmail.com)

he mother of a jawan killed by the terrorist near Poonch ( J and K) on 30th April, 2017 was shown repeatedly on TV saying “ Bring fifty cut off heads to compensate head of my son.” Such utterances may be sympathetically listened. But whipping up masses frenzy on that line would only escalate chain reaction of violence, would that save lives of our jawans and as also of inhabitants of the border areas? Violence begets violence. Only firm resolve to prevent terrorist attacks, backed by resolute action can ensure peace.

Any sober person would agree that cutting supply lines of finance and arms to terrorists can alone check terrorist attacks.

That does not mean that we should avoid forceful resistance if any terrorist intrudes and indulges into violence. The sentries posted on the border are expected to react instantly and effectively. But the policy should be to disable likely intruders to cross border or to resort to violence.

Terrorism thrives on unlimited supply of money and arms or explosives.

They don’t get it as a gift of god. Some crooked agencies and or smugglers are responsible for their uninterrupted supply.

In the days of sputnik - aided IT and reconnaissance instruments, why does not our security meant get information, or at least inkling of probable intrusion from across the border or of gathering 300 armed persons in the thick jungle of Sukma District of Chhattisgarh? Is it so difficult to put live vigils on the LoC, all the area through which broad highway is being built? Surely that should be a child’s play for the nation that prides in sending 104 sputniks in the sky in a single shot.

Our army and security forces like CRPF and local police should seek, and get, the required designs and materials to erect necessary intelligence units. If neither this nor being attempted, all those occupy-

ing high posts in Defence and Home departments of Government of India must be held responsible. High technology that located and capture Osama Bin Laden should not be considered a monopoly of one nation. We can certainly devise radars, sensors and drones required for that.

The legacy of the great APJ Abdul Kalam should not go waste.

Thanks to the uncanny ingenuity of our Business men and Babus in devising escape route out of the regulatory network of RBI, identifying and deactivating sources of financial supply may be a little difficult: but not impossible. What is required is to form a small group of person’s impenetrable integrity and empower it to device and execute necessary operations. After all there can be only a few havala channels through which money would be flowing to the terrorists or Naxalites. What is needed is dedicated ruthlessness.

Indian nation should not be bound wanting it.

The rulers at the top should put aside their political agenda of Hindu Rashtra which in practice boils down to Muslim baiting and weakening the unity of the nation. Instead of coining new slogans day in and day out, they should concentrate on the projects outlined above and that should be done without any pomp and show. Full concentration is all that is called for.

Can anybody chasten our frenzy-crazy media?

Let it be left untouched.

Instead all persons who want to save precious human beings should talk to the fellow countrymen through small gatherings, pamphlets and occasional marches, not only on thoroughfares but in the lanes and bye lanes localities inhabited by poor masses.

Social media may also be put to proper use. Kabir’s dohas may be recited as also utterances of saints and Lord Budha and Mahatma Gandhi.

“Inner peace is not automatic”

* Living in a high stress Society.

The world pressures us to perform. From the time we begin school to the day we retire, judgmental eyes are fixes on us, watching every achievement, making evaluation at every turn. As a result, it is easy to become side tracked mentally and emotionally by the opinions and concern of others.

We become so concerned about our standing with others that we lose sight of the importance of our standing with God. Rather than looking to him for emotional composure, we look first to our Human judges. Having become mentally caught the Performance trap of our highly competitive world, we can be brought to our knees in stress, false hopes, and frustrations.

Since the day Satan enticed Adam and Eve to rebel against God. Sin has been Rampant.

No one is immure it would be fantastic if we could end our problem with sin becoming Christians. Some people ever assume that will happen. But ever godly people experience an inward tug of war (See Romans 7:15) This struggle with Sin can eventually wear us down. It can create problems of loneliness, depression, marital Discord, and sexual frustration. Some people even reach the point of suicide.

They feel so defeated by Sin that death seems to be the only way they have become entrenched in a pattern of defeat.

Some people said; “shouldn’t Christians acquire inner peace from their salvation experience?”. They believe that Christianity has all the answers to life’s Questions and that “real” Christian shouldn’t have the struggles that plaque

the secular world. In fact, they believe that if a Christian gets to the point of needing psychotherapy, he must really have a poor relationship with God. Such people assume that if Christians would just do us the Bible commands their problems would be solved.

Christians should look to scripture for guidance they should be one step ahead of the world in the pursuit of inner peace. God’s word is the perfect Blue print for living, and if closely followed, it does produce genuine composure.

But we do not live in an ideal world, Christians are not ideal people.

If fact. Some people who call themselves Christians are not Christians at all. Each of our personalities is a mixed bag of experiences traits, and tendencies. Some people have

a powerful Blend of spiritual and psychological insights that enable them to handle life’s difficulties with Ease. Others, however, have a more fragile mixture of experience that makes them vulnerable to emotional stress and interpersonal insecurities; they are not ungodly simply because they need help. They are merely trying to make sense out of their confusing lives. Our minds have become so numbed to humanistic philosophy that, overtime, many Christians find themselves watering down God’s absolute’s. We must first identify and understand the emotions that are basic to our Human nature, peace comes only when we uncover and understand the underlying thoughts and belief that guide our emotions.

D.A. Achumi, 24 / 7 Chain of Prayer Ministry, Dimapur

Opposition parties meet on presidential candidate

Nitish Kumar for the posts of President and Vice President. “This has not happened so far. If acceptable consensual candidates do not emerge, then we (opposition parties) shall decide to field such persons who shall steadfastly defend the constitutional values of our republic.”

Banerjee, who left the meeting at the Parliament House a little early, told reporters that it was agreed that a consensus was possible on a government nominee also if the candidate was secular and would uphold the Constitution. In case a consensus was not possible then a committee would be formed to choose an opposition nominee.

However, the absence of JD-U chief Nitish Kumar set political tongues wagging, with his scheduled attendance on Saturday

at a lunch being hosted by the Prime Minister for the visiting Mauritius Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth, adding fuel to the fire.

Questions were raised whether Saturday’s lunch could be a precursor to BJP and JD-U coming together in Bihar, and by extension on national issues.

JD-U leaders were at pains to explain that Kumar was only attending an official function, and it had nothing to do with politics.

Kumar himself sought to downplay the development, saying he was being invited to a lunch for the Prime Minister of a country with which Bihar has long-standing ties. He also recalled that he had already met Sonia Gandhi last month.

However, political observers say that Kumar’s absence from the opposition leaders meeting where RJD chief Lalu Prasad was present, was more than what meets the eye -- especially after the IT raids on the “benami” properties of Lalu’s kin.

Others present at the meeting included former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi, Nationalist Congress Party leader Sharad Pawar, Janata Dal-

United leader Sharad Yadav and National Conference leader Omar Abdullah.

The term of President Mukherjee will end in July and that of Vice President Hamid Ansari in August this year.

The ruling BJP-led alliance has so far not come up with any names but is learnt to have begun discussions with its allies to pick up nominees for both the posts.

The BJP has a clear edge in the presidential election due to support of some parties outside the ruling National Democratic Alliance.

Banerjee said there was no harm in discussing a candidate with the government if it comes out with a name and referred to the 2002 Presidential election when the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had floated A.P.J. Abdul Kalam’s name and a consensus was evolved around it.

Asked about another term for incumbent Pranab Mukherjee, she said no names were discussed in the meeting.

Banerjee said all the parties were united in criticism of the government over Kashmir, the violence in Saharanpur and demonetisation.

CBI names Shahabuddin as accused in journo murder case MUZAFFARPUR: The CBI on Friday named former RJD MP and strongman Mohammad Shahabuddin as an accused in the journalist Rajdeo Ranjan murder case.

As per the CBI special court’s order, Shahabuddin was produced in the court of special judge Anupam Kumari here through vidMohammad Shahabuddin eo-conferencing facility.

Shahabuddin is the 10th accused in the murder case.

The CBI special court had on May 22 issued the production warrant against Shahabuddin on the plea of CBI to produce him through video-conferencing for trial.

The CBI had also filed the application the same day for making Shahabud-

din as an accused in the case.

The CBI counsel submitted that it would soon file charge-sheet against Shahabuddin, who is currently lodged in high-security Tihar jail in the national capital.

The premier investigating agency has already filed charge-sheet against seven accused persons in

the case while two accused persons- Mohammad Javed and Mohammad Kaif- are on bail. Javed and Kaif are active members of Shahabuddin gang.

The four-time RJD MP from Siwan is alleged to have been involved in the murder of Rajdeo Ranjan, a journalist of a prominent Hindi daily in Siwan last year.

th

Pranab Mukherjee neither recorded evidence in the matter and dismissed the same.

During hearing of the suit before the trial court, the judge had asked the complainant to explain how can the President of India, who has immunity under the Constitution from legal proceedings, be dragged in a lawsuit.

A group of lawyers and a social worker had filed the law suit against Mukherjee seeking deletion of portions from his

book in the references to the demolition of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya in 1992 for allegedly hurting Hindu sentiments.

The plaintiffs’ advocates had claimed before the trial court that a civil suit can be filed against the President during his tenure in respect of any act done by him in his “personal capacity.”

“We are not saying anything against the President of India. We are concerned with the author of the book who is Pranab Mukherjee. How can he write such things in his personal capacity where sentiments of lakhs and crores of people are concerned,” the petitioner’s counsel had told the trial court.

The President’s counsel, however, had opposed the plea before the trial court and had said that it was not maintainable.

BJP misleading country, making false financial claims, says AAP

Ashutosh New Delhi, May 26 (IANS): The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday took on the Bharatiya Janata Party-led central government, saying that a reign of terror prevails everywhere and misleading data about the government’s success on the economic front is being projected.

The Prime Minister Narendra Modiled government on Friday completed its three years in office. “BJP is celebrating third anniversary of their government and pretending like this is the best government country has ever seen. But figures tell a different story,” said AAP leader Ashutosh.

He said that the government has mislead

the people by claiming that country was doing good financially. “Finances are in bad shape...exports have gone in the negative, eight sectors have shown only one per cent growth and could generate only half-a-per cent employment... This is not good. If it goes on like this, the country is set to face a huge economic crisis,” said Ashutosh.

He added that after three years of the BJP in power, a state of terror prevailed everywhere, and minorities, Dalits, women, students and educational institutions were being targeted by the central government.

“Yesterday’s incident on Yamuna Expressway speaks volumes... A family had to suffer, women of the family were raped, but no action has been taken till now. When sometime back something like this had happened in the same area, BJP had targeted Uttar Pradesh’s Akhilesh government,” said the AAP leader. He also underlined that the situation in Uttar Pradesh’s Saharanpur, where caste-related violence has taken place, had not abated yet. Ashutosh accused the BJP of being pro-rich and anti-farmer.

“While 12,602 farmers have committed suicide, BJP has waived off loans worth Rs 4.6 lakh-crore for the industrialists,” Ashutosh said.

T h i ru va na n thapuram, May 26 (IANS): The central government’s announcement of stringent rules on sale of cows and buffaloes at animal markets across India on Friday, aimed at deterring slaughter, took several Kerala ministers and the Congress-led opposition by surprise.

State Agriculture Minister V.S. Sunilkumar said this was nothing but implementing the Rashtriya Swyamsevak Sangh (RSS) agenda and that it would not work in Kerala.

“Under the guise of ‘cruelty to animals’ clause, the Centre is trying to push through the agenda of RSS. This is a foolish decision and we will deal with this legally,” the Minister said.

Stringent rules have been put in place on Friday for cattle trade, including the animal’s movement and also a cooling period of six months for re-sale of bulls, bullocks, cows, buffaloes, steers, heifers and calves, as well as the camel trade. State Minister for Local Self Government K.T. Jaleel said every state has its own eating habits.

“This new law is not going to be accepted as generally people will accept only if they feel they are doing a wrong.”

State PWD Minister G. Sudhakaran said this was the latest in the series of fascist acts of the Narendra Modi government.

“These things can’t be put out simply through an order. Has Parliament taken the states into confidence or has there been any discussion with them?

These things won’t work out in Kerala,” said Sudhakaran.

New Delhi, May 26 (PTI): The Delhi High Court today agreed to hear a plea challenging the trial court’s order dismissing a suit filed against the President of India seeking deletion of some portions from his book published in 2016 for allegedly hurting Hindu sentiments.

Justice Vinod Goel fixed September 16 for hearing of the appeal against the trial court’s order on November 30 last by which the law suit which had sought deletion of portions from Pranab Mukherjee’s book ‘Turbulent Years 1980- 1996’ was rejected.

Advocate Barun Kumar Sinha, appearing for a group of lawyers, submitted that the trial court had wrongly dismissed the petition.

Sinha contended that the trial court judge had not heard arguments and

New Delhi, May 26 (IANS): Major opposition parties, led by the Congress, came together on Friday on a common platform and decided to contest the upcoming presidential election if the government does not come up with a consensus candidate -- but the absence of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar set off speculation about possible political realignment.

On a day the Narendra Modi government completed three years in office, the luncheon meeting convened

by Congress president Sonia Gandhi, brought together leaders of mutually antagonistic outfits in states, like the Left with Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, and BSP chief Mayawati face to face with Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav.

The meeting also provided a joint platform for them to hit out at the Modi government policies, saying it had imposed unprecedented burden on all sections of the people, including farmers, youth, minorities and weaker sections.

A joint statement issued after the meeting said, it’s a normal practice for the ruling party to take the initiative to build a consensus on the names of candidates

Srinagar, May 26 (PTI): The Army today said its troops foiled an attack

by Pakistan’s Border Action Team (BAT) on a patrol party along the Line of Control in Uri sector of Kashmir, killing two militants.

“Alert troops foiled a BAT attack on our patrol party in Uri sector today.

Two BAT terrorists were killed in the operation,” an army official said here.

The BAT attack was effectively repulsed, the official said.

According to police sources, the bodies of the two slain militants were lying in “no man’s” land along the LoC. Two Indian soldiers were beheaded in a BAT action in Krishnaghati sector of Poonch on May 1 which had triggered a strong reaction from India.

On Tuesday, the Army had said it launched “punitive fire assaults” on Pakistani positions across the LoC, inflicting “some damage”. Army sources said the two armed intruders infiltrated from a Pakistani post which is 200 metres from the LoC in the area.

They were spotted on the Indian side around 8:40 AM in South of Jhelum in the Uri sector.

In exchange of fire, both were neutralised at distance of 500 metres from the LoC in the Indian side, the sources said.

tax regime, due to the “destination principle”, where taxation was on supply and consumption and not on manufacturing, a State like Nagaland, which was predominantly a consumer state will benefit and the introduction of the GST regime will open new era in the indirect taxation structure and administration in India. Chief Secretary Pankaj Kumar IAS, in his welcome address, informed that the entire tax administration for GST will be online on GST network and the final step in legislative process for implementation of GST in Nagaland was the passing and enactment of the Nagaland GST Bill 2017. Commissioner of Taxes Asangba Chuba Ao, IAS in his power point presentation enlightened about the types of taxation in India, the current tax system versus GST, GST rates, benefits of GST and reduction of price of goods under GST. On SGT preparedness in the state, Chuba said around 3000 dealers migrated from VAT to GST, digital signatures certificates have been procured for all the department offices and IT infrastructure was procured and installed for smooth operation. Discussion, question answer session followed the meeting.

(From p-1) However he said the tax structure does not provide any relief in the form of tax credit, when goods manufactured somewhere else and reached Nagaland after passing through many intermediate taxpaying sellers, located in some other state or states. Liezietsü said the idea was to make the whole indirect taxation process more transparent and also more effective and easier to implement the new GST regime which was going to be implemented throughout the country from July 1.

He said the GST regime will create a system, wherein one will be allowed to claim credit for the tax paid earlier, irrespective of the kind of indirect tax and also the place where it has been paid. The chief minister also said that such a scenario will lead to avoidance of cascading of tax and bring down the cost of the product or service and finally benefit the end consumer.

He also said the new system will also check tax evasion, since trade and industry will benefit by coming under the GST system through a “Self Policing” mechanism.

In the process, he said the tax base was likely to expand and lead to more revenue collection.

He said that in the new

It may be mentioned that in 2004 the then governor of Nagaland Shyamal Dutta having a deep concern for the students of Nagaland, initiated an interaction programme with the toppers and rank holders of HSLC and HSSLC examination conducted

by NBSC. The annual event has served to encourage and inspire students. Subsequently, in 2010 the then governor of Nagaland K. Sankaranarayanan instituted the governor’s award by generously contributing an amount of Rs. 13,00,000 towards it as endowment fund to acknowledge the young achievers of the Nagaland.

She opined that this programme would emulate more students in their footprints and would have many more achievers in the years to come.

The programme was compered by Rüchünino Rino and Siduniu Rentta, Pastor Union Baptist Church, Kohima, while Rev. Dr. Rachiilie Vihienuo offered thanksgiving prayer.

Sharda Balaji, founder of Novo Juris Legal, a law firm, says, “This expansion in definition will give a chance to entities in the non-tech space to apply to the DIPP. The moot issue is how will the criteria of ‘high’ employment or wealth creation be determined? The online process of application via an app or DIPP’s portal is also useful.” Sanjay Swamy, managing partner, Prime Venture Partners, says, “These relaxations are welcome. However, employment generation or wealth creation is subjective and specific to each startup and the business it is in. The government needs to clarify if it will be assessed on a case-to-case basis or will there be some benchmarks.”

(From p-1) The Governor encouraged the people to preserve the rich Naga culture and local dialects. Minister of School Education and SCERT, Yitachu in his address reminded that achieving success and continuing to hold on was most difficult part. He, therefore, urged the toppers to hold on by working harder to remain in the top.

He encouraged the toppers to “develop good human heart and be good people” so as to be useful and beneficial to society.

Minister also shared the concern of increasing drop out students in the state.

However, investors, startups and legal experts do add that the amended definition is ambiguous.

Under an earlier notification of the DIPP, one of the conditions to qualify as a startup was that the entity should “be working towards innovation, development, deployment or commercialisation of new products, processes or services driven by technology or intellectual property”.

This definition stands amen ded by the DIPP in its notification dated May 23. Now entities having “a scaleable business model with a high potential of employment generation or wealth creation” could also qualify for recognition as a startup by the DIPP.

Earlier, only if the activities of an entity were innovative and driven by technology or intellectual property could it be considered as a startup by the department of industry policy and promotion (DIPP).

SC withhold hearing on SIT probe into Saharanpur violence New Delhi/LUCKNOW/BHOPAL, May 26 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Friday declined to hold early hearing of a plea seeking direction to the Uttar Pradesh government to set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) under the supervision of a sitting High Court judge to probe attacks on Dalits in Saharanpur.

The vacation bench of Justice L. Nageswara Rao and Justice Navin Sinha said there was no urgency, as PIL petitioner advocate Gaurav Yadav urged the bench to hold an early hearing of the plea.

Seeking investigation by the SIT under the supervision of a sitting judge of the High Court, the petitioner also sought compensation to the families of those who lost their lives and those who suffered injuries.

Besides compensation, the petitioner also sought police protection to villagers to stop the victims and their families from fleeing the villages where people from weaker sections were attacked.

Claiming that 30 to 40 people were still missing, the petitioner advocate said that 150 people have left their villages for safer places as they felt that both their lives and properties were not safe.

Referring to the attacks on Dalits by people belonging to the upper caste Thakur community, Yadav said that it was a violation of the victims right to life and to live with dignity.

Alleging that the administration acted in a biased manner “intoxicated with casteism”, the petitioner pointed to a “complete failure” of the law and order machinery as it failed to take any action against the perpetrators of the violence.

Rahul denied permission to visit Saharanpur

The Uttar Pradesh government on Friday denied permission to Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi to visit the violence-hit villages of Saharanpur, where caste conflict has left two dead and scores injured.

The permission was denied based on the state policy of keeping the region out of bounds for leaders until the situation returns to normal, an official said.

The Gandhi scion had sought permission to visit Saharanpur on Saturday.

Additional Director General (ADG) Law and Order Aditya Mishra clarified that the state government had denied permission for Gandhi’s visit.

Kashmiri group wants speedy probe against Major

Major Leetul Gogoi

Srinagar, May 26 (IANS): An influential citizens group in Kashmir on Friday demanded a speedy police investigation against Major Leetul Gogoi for using a Kashmiri man as a “human shield” against stone pelters, and demanded withdrawal/deferment of an Army award to him till the probe is completed.

The Group of Concerned Citizens also questioned Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti’s “silence” on the whole issue and called for a “fair, objective, and expeditious investigation into the incident within a set time frame”.

On April 9, a video clipping of a man -- later identified as Farooq Ahmad Dar -- trussed up to an Army

jeep’s bonnet in Budgam in Jammu and Kashmir went viral, leading to an uproar.

The Army officer has since maintained he did this to avoid a large number of human casualties.

The citizens’ collective said: “The strapping of an innocent Kashmiri young man by an Army officer to the bonnet and parading him for hours through a dozen villages... is totally unjustifiable. It is against human dignity, offends the core constitutional values and violates international covenants to which India is a signatory.”

“The act is condemnable. The effort to legitimise the act by cooking up and concocting facts is bizarre and deserves to be

9

equally condemned...”

“It is painful and shocking that instead of expediting the Court of Enquiry proceedings ordered by the Army against him and an investigation into the case registered by local police, the officer has been decorated with an award and is applauded by no less than the country’s Defence Minister for an otherwise cowardly act,” the group said.

It dubbed as “unfair and grossly inappropriate” the Commendation Card awarded to Major Gogoi before the conclusion of the Court of Enquiry and the police probe.

“The silence of the state government, in particular the Chief Minister, is deplorable. After condemning the incident and directing for investigation by a senior officer, she should have been the first person to strongly protest against the grant of award...”

“The Chief Minister, by her silence, has condoned the grant of award,” the group said. “We demand that in the interest of justice and fair play, the decision to award the Army officer be withdrawn, or at least deferred, so that investigation proceeds uninfluenced by the decision,” it added.

After considering the entire facts and circumstances, the special court accepted the application moved by Advani and others in the interest of justice with the condition that the exemption was being accepted for Friday only. While passing the order, the court fixed May 30 for framing of charges and directed the accused persons to remain present on that day without fail. The court has already fixed May 30 for framing of charges against six other ac-

cused -- Mahant Nritya Gopal Das, Mahant Ram Vilas Vedanti, Baikunth Lal Sharma alias Prem Ji, Champat Rai Bansal, Dharma Das and Satish Pradhan.

All these 12 persons are accused of conspiracy behind razing of Babri Masjid in 1992. A CBI court and later the Allahabad high court had dropped conspiracy charges against them, but the Supreme Court on April 19 this year restored the charges and asked the special court to finish the case within two years.

Former environment minister Anil Madhav Dave had okayed the rules before his death last week, HT quoted ministry sources as saying.

Last month, the Supreme Court had also issued a notice to the Centre and six states asking them to explain the increased instances of vigilantism in the name of cow protection.

Whereas, the RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat had strongly pitched for an all-India law against cow slaughter and asked the vigilante groups to obey the law while espousing the cause of protecting the animal.

The move comes months after a Haryana’s dairy farmer Pehlu Khan succumbed to injuries after he was attacked by a cow protection group and a mob lynched two men in Assam’s Nagaon district suspecting them to be cattle thieves.

The report stated that the provision says that cattle bought cannot be resold within six months impinging the business of cow traders. Cattle can be sold only to a person having documents to prove he is an ‘agriculturist’, the rule says.

NEW DELHI, MAY 26 (AGENCIES): Amid rising cow vigilantism and violence against cow traders, the central government has banned the sale of cattle for slaughter, reported Hindustan Times.

In a new regulation for animal trade in the country, the government has allowed cattle trade only among farm land owners.

The report said that the first central regulation for cow protection in the name of animal welfare was notified on Thursday.

“Take an undertaking that the animals are bought for agriculture purposes and not for slaughter,” says the special section for cattle in the rule notified under Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act of 1960.

The rules are supposed to be implemented in the next three months. Now, both seller and buyer will have to furnish identity and ownership documents. After purchasing a cow, a trader will have to make five copies of proof of sale and submit them at the local revenue office, the local veterinary doctor in the district of the purchaser, animal market committee, apart from one each for seller and buyer, reported the daily.

26 killed in fresh attack on Egypt Coptic Christians

day. The bombings prompted President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to declare a threemonth state of emergency.

The Egyptian affiliate of IS has also killed several Copts in North Sinai, forcing dozens of families to flee the province in January.

Friday’s shooting came after a historic visit to Egypt

by Roman Catholic Pope Francis to show solidarity with the country’s Christians.

In his late April trip, Francis visited one of the bombed Coptic churches and condemned violence carried out in the name of God. Al-Azhar, Egypt’s

New Taliban attack on Afghan base kills at least 15 soldiers KANDAHAR, MAY 26 (AGENCIES): At least 15 Afghan soldiers were killed when Taliban fighters attacked their army base in the southern province of Kandahar, the defence ministry said Friday, in the second such assault on Westernbacked forces this week.

The attack in Shah Wali Kot district late Thursday came just three days after 10 Afghan soldiers were killed when Taliban militants stormed another base in the same area.

The assault, mounted by hundreds of insurgents, highlights a growing Taliban offensive in Kandahar, where security has relatively improved in recent years under the leadership of police chief and regional strongman General Abdul Raziq.

“The Taliban launched a coordinated assault on an

army base last night (Thursday) in Shah Wali Kot district of Kandahar province,” ministry spokesman Dawlat Waziri told AFP. “Fifteen Afghan army soldiers were martyred and five others wounded... but the base was under the control of Afghan forces.” A provincial official who spoke on the condition of anonymity gave a higher death toll of 20. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the Kandahar attack as their annual spring offensive intensifies and the insurgency expands more than 15 years after they were toppled from power in a US-led invasion.

Raziq had lashed out at the central government in Kabul on Thursday, accusing them of a plot to destabilise his province.

“Some political figures within the National Unity Government are trying to

destabilise Kandahar like (neighbouring) Helmand and Uruzgan provinces,” Raziq told a public gathering. “Whenever there is an attack in Kandahar, the central government does not help.”

The attack marks another setback for NATObacked Afghan forces. It comes just a month after the Taliban killed at least 135 soldiers in the northern province of Balkh in the deadliest insurgent attack on an Afghan military base since 2001.

The battlefield losses have raised concerns about the capacity of Afghan forces, beset by unprecedented casualties and blamed for corruption, desertion and “ghost soldiers” who exist on the payroll but whose salaries are usurped by fraudulent commanders.

which the North claimed was capable of carrying a “heavy” nuclear warhead, fuelling tensions with Washington.

It car ried out two atomic tests last year, insisting it needs nuclear weapons to defend itself against the threat of invasion.

The US is worried that if Kim is not stopped, other countries in the region including Japan and South Korea would be compelled to seek their own nuclear capability as a defence measure.

Washington says it is willing to enter into talks with North Korea if it halts its nuclear and missile tests, but it has also warned that military intervention was an option, sending fears of conflict spiralling.

In an April telephone

conversation with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, Trump said “we can’t let a madman with nuclear weapons let on the loose like that”.

“We have a lot of firepower, more than he has, times 20 -- but we don’t want to use it,” the US leader said, according to a transcript of the conversation released by US media.

Trump also queried Duterte about whether he believed Kim was “stable or not stable.” The Philippine leader responded that their North Korean counterpart’s “mind is not working and he might just go crazy one moment.”

The United States has for weeks been negotiating a new Security Council sanctions resolution with North Korea’s ally China.

Copts have suffered sectarian attacks for years.

A suicide bomber had struck a church in 2011, and there have been deadly clashes with Muslims, especially in the rural south, following disputes over church construction.

TAORMINA (ITALY), MAY 26 (AFP): US President Donald Trump today said the “problem” of an increasingly belligerent North Korea would be “solved”, as he met his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe just before the start of the G7 summit.

“It’s a big problem, it’s a world problem,” he said in the Sicilian town of Taormina, just weeks after he called North Korea leader Kim Jong-Un a “madman with nuclear weapons.”

The issue of North Korea, whose missile and nuclear tests have its neighbours and the wider world concerned, will be discussed in joint meetings with the other six heads of leading industrialised countries, Trump said.

“It will be solved, you can bet on that,” he said before going into closed-door talks with Abe, without giving further details.

Abe intended to use the summit to underscore the danger posed by the unpredictable regime in North Korea following its recent series of missile tests.

“The issue of North Korea is a grave threat not only to East Asia but also to the world,” he told reporters before leaving Tokyo, urging the G7 to act “resolutely”.

Pyongyang has launched a series of missiles this year, including a Hwasong-12 intermediaterange projectile this month

threatened more attacks against the Copts, who make up about 10 percent of Egypt’s 90-million population.

Suicide bombers with the jihadist group struck a Cairo church on December 11, next to the seat of the Coptic pope, killing 29 people.

G E N E VA , M AY 2 6 (AGENCIES): The UN on Friday urged all nations bombing jihadist targets in Syria to better distinguish between civilian and military targets, following reports that US-led coalition strikes killed dozens of non-combatants.

Air raids on Islamic State group targets in Syria have left hundreds of civilians dead since 2014.

The latest strikes that hit a series of residential buildings on Thursday in Mayadeen, a town in Syria’s eastern province of Deir Ezzor, killed at least 35 civilians, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

UN human rights chief Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein said “all states” whose air forces are active in the anti-IS missions needed “to take much greater care to distinguish between legitimate military targets and civilians.”

The rights office had no specific information about Thursday’s bombings.

Zeid’s spokesman Rupert Colville told reporters in Geneva that identifying the air force responsible for civilian deaths is often difficult given the number of countries in the anti-IS coalition and the lack of credible information.

CAIRO, MAY 26 (AGENCIES): Masked gunmen attacked a bus carrying Coptic Christians on a visit to a monastery south of the Egyptian capital on Friday, killing at least 26 people, officials said.

The gunmen in three pick-up trucks attacked the bus as it carried visitors to the Saint Samuel monastery in Minya province, more than 200 kilometres (120 miles) from Cairo, before fleeing, the interior ministry said. It was the latest attack on Copts after Islamic State group jihadists bombed three churches in December and April, killing dozens of Christians.

Pictures of the bus aired by state television showed its windows shot out.

“They used automatic weapons,” Minya governor Essam el-Bedawi told state television. Bedawi said police were fanning out along the road where the attack took place and had set up checkpoints.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte addresses troops during his visit to the 2nd Mechanized Brigade on the outskirts of Iligan city in southern Philippines May 26, 2017.

“contamination by ISIS” loomed in the country’s future, using the acronym for the Islamic State group.

“You can say that ISIS is here already,” he said.

He gave his troops a free hand to wrest control of Marawi.

“You can arrest any person, search any house without warrant,” said Duterte, who has allowed extrajudicial killings of thousands of people in his crackdown on illegal drugs.

Still, he also offered dialogue to militants who are not on the streets fighting.

“We can still talk about it,” Duterte said. “But those who are out-and-out terrorists, and you cannot be convinced to stop fighting,

so be it. Let us fight.”

Hapilon is still hiding out in the city under the protection of gunmen who are desperately trying to find a way to “extricate” him, the country’s military chief said.

“Right now, he is still inside (the city),” Gen. Eduardo Ano told The Associated Press. “We cannot just pinpoint the particular spot.”

He said Hapilon suffered a stroke after a government airstrike wounded him in January. Ano predicted that the military operation will take about a week as soldiers go house to house to clear the city of militants.

“We will make this their cemetery,” he said.

“We have to finish this.”

In a sign that the longstanding problem of militancy in the south could be expanding, Solicitor General Jose Calida said foreigners were fighting alongside the gunmen in Marawi, including Indonesians and Malaysians.

Ano also said foreign fighters were believed to be inside, but he was more cautious. “We suspect that but we’re still validating,” he said.

With much of Marawi a no-go zone, confusion reigned. One local police chief told the AP on Friday that he was fine — two days after Duterte announced he had been beheaded by militants.

Police Chief Romeo Enriquez said there may have been confusion because his predecessor in Malabang, a town near Marawi, was killed in the fighting on Tuesday, although he was not beheaded. Enriquez has been in the job for about two months. Witnesses say gunmen were flying black flags of the Islamic State group.

Authorities were working to determine the condition of a Catholic priest and worshippers who were taken hostage by gunmen earlier this week.

ROME, MAY 26 (IANS): A two-day summit of leaders from the Group of Seven (G7) industrialised nations started off on Friday in the Italian town of Taormina.

The heads of state of Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States, plus the EU were expected to have a tough debate on issues, including terrorism, trade and climate change.

The topic of terrorism was pushed to the top of the agenda after a suicide bomber claimed at least 22 lives when he blew himself up at a concert by US singer Ariana Grande in the British city of Manchester

on Monday.

Four of the group’s leaders, including US President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May, will be sitting around the table for the first time, BBC reported.

Fresh from his public dressing down of NATO leaders for not spending enough on defence, Trump was expected to be just as ready to take on his G7 counterparts, the report said.

Trump may be urged not to abandon the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change to tackle global warming and he was also likely to resist moves to limit protectionism in glob-

Wa rebels new powerbrokers in Myanmar peace process NAYPYIDAW, MAY 26 (AGENCIES): Branded as Asia’s most heavily-armed drug dealers, the Chinabacked ethnic Wa rebels have emerged as key players in Myanmar’s peace process, a development seen as strengthening Beijing’s influence over its violencewracked neighbour.

When Myanmar’s new civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi convened the first round of peace talks with the country’s myriad ethnic groups last year, the United Wa State Army’s (UWSA) attendance was a side-show to the main action.

But as hundreds of delegates gathered in the capital this week for round two of the peace negotiations, all eyes were on the militia.

A scrum of media surrounded their five grinning representatives as they strode into the vast conference hall in Naypyidaw sporting traditional studded red blazers emblazoned with their symbol of a horned buffalo head.

With them were members of several ethnic

Trump admin proposes zero aid to Tibetans WASHINGTON, MAY 26 (PTI): President Donald Trump has proposed zero aid to the Tibetans in 2018, reversing the decades-old US policy of providing financial help to the community to safeguard their distinct identity under the Chinese rule.

The State Department, which sent the detailed proposal to the Congress as part of Trump’s maiden annual budget, described the move as one of the “tough choices” that it had to make as its budget itself has been slashed by more than 28 per cent.

The Trump administration now wants other countries to jump in to help the Tibetan community.

Leaders of the Tibetan community in the US refrained from commenting on the Trump administration’s move, saying they are still reading the budget papers. At the same time, they observed that majority of the assistance to the Tibetan people, including for Tibet, so far have been Congressionally-driven.

groups who have rallied behind Myanmar’s most heavily-armed militia after an explosion of violence in the country’s northeast.

For years the group has kept a low profile in Myanmar’s politics after a 1989 ceasefire deal granted them their own independent territory the size of Belgium on the Chinese border.

The secretive ‘statelet’ is like a little piece of China -- signs are written in Mandarin, people trade in the Chinese currency the yuan, and the casinos are filled

declared its support for Myanmar’s peace process, sending a delegate to the talks and mediating with armed rebels, which have fought against the country’s military for decades in a horseshoe of conflictwracked border regions.

In March, China held military drills in a show of strength after thousands of refugees poured across the border to escape the worst fighting in decades between one insurgent group and Myanmar’s army.

At a meeting in Beijing this month, President Xi Jinping pledged to Suu Kyi that China would “continue to provide necessary assistance for Myanmar’s internal peace process”.

But analysts say Myanmar’s giant neighbour is also fuelling the conflict by arming the UWSA with heavy artillery, surfaceto-air missiles and light armoured vehicles, and helping them arm their

allies.

China’s support for the rebels “provides a lever by means of which to apply pressure, actual or potential, on (the government),” said IHS Jane security analyst Tony Davis.

Beijing is also keen to “secure the stability in the border regions” to drive through its One Belt One Road initiative, he said, referring to a huge infrastructure project intended to link Asia to Europe and Africa that would run through northern Myanmar. Experts warn the formation of the new UWSA-led bloc of powerful rebel groups now threatens to scupper Suu Kyi’s Western-backed peace process.

“The UWSA are the big boys in town,” one political consultant to the armed groups told AFP. “Even if you don’t agree with everything they say you want them on your side.”

TAORMINA, MAY 26 (AGENCIES): European Union president Donald Tusk called Friday on G7 leaders to maintain sanctions on Russia over the conflict in Ukraine, but the White House said it did not yet “have a position” on the issue.

The EU and United States under then president Barack Obama imposed sanctions on Moscow over its 2014 annexation of Crimea and fighting in eastern Ukraine between government forces and proRussia rebels.

But it is as yet unclear whether Obama’s successor Donald Trump, who is under fire domestically over allegations that Russia meddled to aid his election campaign last year, will maintain these sanctions.

“Since our last G7 summit in Japan, we haven’t seen anything that would justify a change in our sanctions policy towards Russia,” Tusk, who coordinates policy for the EU’s 28 leaders, told reporters in Sicily.

“I will appeal to the other G7 leaders to reconfirm this policy,” he added before the latest summit of seven leading industrialised nations kicked off in the town of Taormina, with Trump one of four leaders new to the G7 party.

US-led Syria strike kills 80 relatives of IS fighters BEIRUT, MAY 26 (AFP): A US-led coalition air strike on the eastern Syrian town of Mayadeen early today killed at least 80 relatives of Islamic State group fighters, a monitoring group said. “The toll includes 33 children. They were families seeking refuge in the town’s municipal building,” said Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

“This is the highest toll for relatives of IS members in Syria,” Abdel Rahman told AFP. The latest strike came as the United Nations urged all nations bombing jihadist targets in Syria to better distinguish between civilian and military targets.

ILIGAN (PHILIPPINES), MAY 26 (AGENCIES): Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte ordered his troops to crush militants who are fighting street battles with government forces in the south, warning Friday that the country is at a grave risk of “contamination” by the Islamic State group.

The city of Marawi, home to some 200,000 people, has been under siege by IS-linked militants since a government raid Tuesday night on a suspected hideout of Isnilon Hapilon, who is on Washington’s list of most-wanted terrorists.

The raid went awry and gunmen swept through the streets, fending off government forces and taking over large parts of the city.

Duterte imposed martial law on the southern third of the nation earlier this week as the battles continued.

At least 44 people have died in the fighting, including 31 militants and 11 soldiers, officials say. It was not immediately clear whether civilians were among the dead. The violence has forced thousands of people to flee and raised fears of growing extremism.

Duterte told soldiers in Iligan, a city near Marawi, that he had long feared that

Barca favourite to win Copa del Rey

Barcelona squad train ahead of Saturday’s Copa del Rey final with Alaves

Paco Alcacer will occupy the advanced role alongside Leo Messi and Neymar.

Although Barcelona are favourites, it would be an error to write Alaves off out of hand. The side coached by Manuel Pellegrino has been one of the revelations of the season in Spain finishing ninth in the table after winning promotion from the second division last season.

Although they lost 0-6 at home to Barcelona earlier in the campaign, that result came just 72 hours after qualifying for the Cup final and the 2-1 win Alaves claimed in the Camp Nou in match-day three is a warning they will be no pushover.

With (Real Madrid bound) Theo Hernandez supplying pace on the left and Marcos Llorente (also on loan from Madrid) one of the most promising central midfielders in Spain, Alaves have come to Madrid to cause an upset.

A sidebar to Saturday’s game is that it will also decide which side plays in the Europa League next season. If Alaves win they get a ticket directly into the group stage, but if Barca take thr title, Athletic Club Bilbao, who finished seventh in La Liga would qualify for Europe.

to Real Madrid, Barcelona and coach Luis Enrique could end the season on a high note, reports Xinhua news agency.

It would also be the perfect send off for the Barcelona coach who will sit in the Catlan dugout for the last time in the Vicente Calderon Stadium, ending a successful three-year spell at the club.

The match is also the last to be played in the Calderon, as Atletico Madrid prepare to move to their new Wanda Metropolitan Stadium for the coming season.

Barcelona are the clear favourites to retain the Cup, a competition they have won on 28 occasions, more than any other side in Spain, and which

they also won in 2015 and 2016, beating Athletic Club Bilbao and Sevilla in the process. However, Luis Enrique will be without Luis Suarez and Sergi Roberto, both of whom are suspended and consequently has to make changes in both attack and defence.

Lucas Digne will probably play at right back, while Andres Iniesta or

Wilfried Zaha Lo n d o n, M ay 2 6 (Agencies): Wilfried Zaha has signed a new five-year deal with Crystal Palace.

Zaha played a pivotal role in helping Palace retain their Premier League status and the Eagles were keen to tie him down to a long-term deal amid interest from Tottenham.

A product of the Palace academy, Zaha has made 258 appearances for the Eagles over two spells with the club, scoring 34 goals and has been named the club’s Player of the Season for the past two campaigns.

“Wilf has been with the club since he was 8 years old and in the first team from the day I arrived,” chairman Steve Parish told the club’s of-

ficial website. “He is our talisman and someone that week in week out gives everything for the Red and Blue. I’m delighted he has committed his future to us and look forward to climbing up the table with him next year.”

Commenting on his new deal, Zaha said: “Palace is in my heart and I don’t think the story is over. I spoke with Steve and I think I still have more to give this Club.

“The supporters have been amazing and I want us to do more than just stay in the League next year. I would like to thank the Chairman for being a big part of my journey and his fellow owners for backing me and rewarding my progression. Let’s do this!”

NYON, May 26 (Agencies): Russia is set to reclaim the spot on the FIFA Council stripped from the country’s deputy prime minister.

UEFA said that 2018 World Cup organising committee CEO Alexei Sorokin is the only applicant to fill a seat left vacant by Vitaly Mutko. Sorokin must pass an eligibility test by a FIFA review panel to be accepted as a candidate and have a clear run at the Sept. 20 election. UEFA member federations will vote at a meeting in Geneva.

Mutko was blocked by the FIFA panel in March because of a conflict with his government duties.

However, a seat on the 37-member FIFA Council stayed vacant at UEFA’s election meeting in April after a candidate from Iceland withdrew during the campaign.

“It will be a real appreciation of the role of Russia in world football,” Mutko said of regaining the position in comments reported

by Russian state news agency Tass. The FIFA-appointed independent official who denied Mutko’s candidacy, Portuguese lawyer Miguel Maduro, was removed this month as chairman of the football body’s governance committee after less than a year in the role.

Cavaliers advance to NBA Finals Kevilekho wins Nagaland LeBron James becomes all-time leading playoff scorer

Cleveland Cavaliers with the trophy after winning their third successive Eastern Conference title.

B O S T O N , M ay 2 6 (Agencies): The NBA Finals has its first “threematch,” courtesy of a King who passed His Airness.

LeBron James scored 35 points and passed Michael Jordan to become the NBA’s all-time playoff scoring leader as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Boston Celtics 135-102 on Thursday night to claim their third straight East-

ern Conference title and another trip to the NBA Finals to meet the Golden State Warriors.

Kyrie Irving added 24 points and Kevin Love finished with 15 for the Cavs, who never trailed and led by as many as 39 points in one of their most dominating wins of the series. The Cavs set an NBA record by winning their 13th consecutive series closeout

opportunity.

Cleveland’s 4-1 series win gives it a 12-1 record this post-season and sets up a third consecutive matchup with Western Conference champion Golden State, the team it beat in the Finals last season to claim the franchise’s first championship.

“I wear the number because of Mike,” James said. “I think I fell in love

with the game because of Mike, just because of what he was able to accomplish.

When you’re watching Michael Jordan it’s almost like a god. So I didn’t think I could be Mike.”

It will mark the seventh straight trip to the Finals for James, who hit a 3-pointer late in in the third quarter to nudge past Jordan on the playoff scoring list. He quickly flashed one

finger as he backpedaled down the court.

As much as this series was about James, Irving helped turn the tide of the series with a 42-point effort in Game 4. But he said both he and his teammates continue to be inspired by their leader.

Aver y Bradley led Boston with 23 points.

Led by its Big Three, Cleveland quickly built a 21-point lead in the first quarter, while getting lots of contributions from their teammates.

Love continued to knock down shots from the outside, Irving sliced his way into the lane to the rim and James got free for several of his one-handed, tomahawk dunks.

It was a very welcomed sight in Irving’s case, after he rolled his left ankle in the third quarter of Cleveland’s Game 4 win. He showed no signs of lingering issues, though, beating several defenders off the dribble and handing out seven assists.

M e a n w h i l e, J. R .

Smith and Kyle Korver helped spread out Boston’s defenders by connecting on several wide-open scoring opportunities. Deron Williams also got in on the act with a series-best 14 points for Cleveland.

India bow out of Sudirman Cup NFCA free football coaching camp concludes

Gold Coast, May 26 (IANS): Team India bowed out of the Sudirman Cup after the first three matches itself as the mixed doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Ashwini Ponappa, Kidambi Srikanth and the men’s doubles pair Satwiksairaj RankireddyChirag Shetty lost their respective games in the quarter-finals to give China an unassailable lead of 3-0 on Friday.

PV Sindhu’s women’s singles match against He Bingjiao and Ashwini Ponappa-N. Sikki Reddy’s women’s doubles against Bao Yixin-Tang Jinhua were later cancelled, depriving India of at least playing for pride. The first match of the day was the mixed

doubles encounter between India’s Rankireddy-Ponappa and Lu Kai and Huang Yaqiong and the Indian pair lost 21-16, 13-21, 16-21.

Rankireddy and Ponappa displayed their athleticism and power in the first game which they won against the Chinese pair.

The strength of the Rankireddy-Ponappa pair lies in the former’s powerful smashes and Ponappa’s experience and quick interventions but seemingly the Chinese pair were quick to find a formula against the Indians and comfortably took the next two games to win the match.

The second match of the tie was the men’s singles between Kidambi Srikanth

between and Chen Long.

The Olympic champion Long brisked past Srikanth 21-16, 21-17.

Srikanth’s smashes and net play didn’t come to its best effect as the Chinese smartly played them on.

Despite coming from a good win against Indonesian Jonaton Christie 21-15, 21-16, Srikanth was unable to reproduce the same performance.

The third match was men’s doubles match between India’s Rankireddy-Shetty and China’s Fu Haifeng-Zhang Nan. India had made it to the quarter-final stage of the Sudirman Cup after 6 years.

The Chinese pair beat the inexperienced young Indian pair 21-9, 21-11.
