Modi, cabinet to be sworn-in today

NEW DELHI, MAY 29 (AGENCIES): Prime Minister-elect Narendra Modi will take the oath of office on 30 May at Rashtrapati Bhavan in an event that is expected to witness the presence of more than 6,000 guests. Those attending this ‘mega’ oath ceremony includes all prominent Opposition leaders, Chief Ministers of all the states, Governors of all the states, senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, members of both the Houses of Parliament and senior BJP functionaries in states.

Former prime ministers and presidents have been sent invitations for the event.

Apart from this, several Heads of State including that of BIMSTEC (Bay of Bengal Initiative for MultiSectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation) countries, have also been invited for the swearing-in ceremony. The oath ceremony will take place in the forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhavan and not in the Durbar Hall.

On the eve of his swearing-in for a second term, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday held a marathon meeting with

Hours after Jaitley opts out of Cabinet, Modi visits him

Arun Jaitley

NEW DELHI, MAY 29 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday met former Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley at his residence, hours after he opted out of the Union Cabinet citing health conditions.

Modi, who is set to be sworn in as the Prime Minister for a second time on Thursday, arrived at Jaitley’s residence here at 8.55 p.m.

The meeting between the two leaders lasted about 25 minutes. It is learnt that Modi urged the former Finance Minister to reconsider his decision to keep out from the new Cabinet.

The meeting comes in the backdrop of the letter written by Jaitley to Modi earlier in the day asking him not to include him in the new cabinet, citing health issues. “During the last 18 months, I have had some serious health challenges.

My doctors have enabled me to emerge out of most of them,” Jaitley said in a letter to Modi.

This is it!

“I CU rem i n d s m e o f where our party is today after two consecutive losses.”

Prime Minister-elect Narendra Modi

BJP president Amit Shah as he gave final touches to the shape of his government, which is likely to have representation from most allies and showcase the party’s newfound strength in different regions.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley’s decision to opt out on health grounds has fuelled speculation about who will get the coveted portfolio with Railway Minister Piyush Goyal, who filled in for Jaitley and presented the populist pre-election budget, being seen as a key contender.

There is also a buzz about Shah, who has been elected to Lok Sabha from Gandhinagar and is a key architect of his party’s landslide win, joining the government. If Shah joins the Modi

cabinet, he is likely to get one of the four major portfolios; Finance, Home, Defence or External Affairs. The BJP has refrained from making any official comment about the likely members of the government, with its leaders insisting that it is the prime minister’s prerogative.

Senior party leaders like Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari, Nirmala Sitharaman, Narendra Singh Tomar, Prakash Javadekar, Ravi Shankar Prasad, Dharmendra Pradhan and Smriti Irani, are likely to join the second Modi government after being its members in its first avatar.

Singh also met Modi on Wednesday. Some officials of the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) also met Shah on Wednesday at his resi-

dence. The prime minister had held a long meeting with Shah on Tuesday too.

Some party leaders are of the view that a few leaders from the organisation can also be rewarded with ministerial berths.

BJP allies like Shiv Sena, JD(U), AIADMK, LJP, Akali Dal and Apna Dal are also set to be represented in the government.

Parties like Sena and JD(U) may get two berths as they are the largest constituents of the ruling National Democratic Alliance after the BJP, while others may get one berth each.

A BJP leader said the government is likely to bear the stamp of the party’s impressive show in new regions like West Bengal, Odisha, North East and Telangana.

Modi, he said, may surprise with a few choices, referring to his decision to induct a number of former bureaucrats-turned-BJP leaders. Some party leaders believe that the prime minister may also induct leaders like Manoj Sinha, who lost the Lok Sabha polls but is seen as one of the “performing” ministers of his first government.

J.P. Nadda to succeed Amit Shah as BJP chief

J.P. Nadda (File)

NEW DELHI, MAY 29 (IANS): With BJP organisational architect Amit Shah set to join the Cabinet, decks are being cleared for the baton to be handed over to Health minister J.P. Nadda as the new president. Nadda is expected to work closely with Shah even after the latter demits office.

Once the Union Budget is out of the way on July 10 (in all probability), then sometime in September, three states will go to the polls— Maharashtra, Jharkhand and Haryana.

Nadda will then oversee the election campaign strategy. Thereafter there is a possibility of polls in Jammu and Kashmir and even a highly wobbly Karnataka where the coalition appears to be skating on thin ice.

Rahul proposes Presidium; Venugopal, Scindia in race NEW DELHI, MAY 29 (IANS): With Congress President Rahul Gandhi adamant that he will not withdraw his resignation, he remains, in parallel, furious with the old guard- Ashok Gehlot, Kamal Nath and P. Chidambaram (Gehlot’s son Vaibhav lost while Kamal Nath’s son Nakul and Chidambaram’s son Karti won) - who were busy pushing their children in the recently-concluded hustings and “not working for the party per se”.

However, better counsel is now prevailing where he has accepted that he will lead the Congress party in the Lok Sabha where its strength from a paltry 44 has gone up to 52, an increase of a mere eight MPs. Sonia Gandhi will remain UPA Chairperson and the family/ dynasty will distance itself from day-to-day affairs of the party.

All three Gandhi family members - Sonia, Rahul and Priyanka - will not be involved in the daily functioning of the party. An interim Working President with two or more working Vice Presidents in a loosely-

K.C. Venugopal

Jyotiraditya Scindia

formed presidium will run the party operations and plan for elections and campaigns.

K.C. Venugopal may emerge as interim President while Prithviraj Chauhan could be one of the Vice Presidents.

Given that the Congress has 23 MPs from the south, it appears that a south Indian will helm the party for the time being. Or alternatively, cut the umbilical cord with the past and appoint Jyotiraditya Scindia as the Working President and have the youth brigade of Sachin Pilot, Milind Deora and others under him to turn the party’s fortunes around.

The recent rout which has seen the Congress draw a blank in 17 states and Union Territories and as many as eight chief ministers and the leader of the party in the Lok Sabha losing is its

darkest chapter yet. In the ensuing vacuum, Treasurer Ahmed Patel, once Political Secretary to Sonia Gandhi, is back to hold the reins.

Congress had fielded 421 candidates across the country but only 52 of them got elected, marking the second dismal performance by the party in the second successive general elections.

Among the party leaders who lost were four members of the Congress Working Committee (CWC), the highest decision-making body of the party. But the Young Turks are determined to dislodge the old guard.

Pilot and Scindia are in the forefront to back Gandhi in his “clean-up” attempt.

Sources said that in his outburst at the CWC meeting, Gandhi had selectively targeted the old guard.

NCCI asks shops to minimise use New NSF team to push for setting up SSB of single-use plastic carry bags Correspondent

D I M A P U R , M AY 2 9 (NPN): Appreciating the initiatives taken by its confederating chamber of commerce & industry of Phek, Kiphire, Wokha, Mon and Longleng to fight single-use plastic, Nagaland Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NCCI) has asked all business establishments where the single-use plastic ban has not been implemented to use a minimalistic approach in using plastic carry bags and switch to paper and jute bags.

In a press release, NCCI chairman Dr Khekugha Muru also appealed to customers to support the cause and follow certain good practices like carrying shopping bags while going for shopping and keeping the shopping bags handy in a vehicle to avoid usage of plastic bags. Such small support from the customers would help in a great

way towards plastic-free Nagaland, he stressed.

Calling for emulating the success story of Phek in the fight against single-use plastic by all, NCCI urged the remaining confederating units to start generating awareness in their respective districts and set a target to do away with single-use plastic bags, thermocol plates and cups in a time-bound manner.

The trade body reminded the business community that the success of plastic-free Nagaland initiative hugely depended on them, adding that they had a moral obligation to care for the future generations and Mother Earth.

Mentioning that Nagaland was blessed with rich flora and fauna, beautiful mountains, rivers and lakes, NCCI, however, rued that reckless use and dumping of plastic bags, thermocol

plates and cups had slowly but surely started showing adverse effects on the environment. It said that mindless use of plastic had also resulted in clogged drains, while burning of plastics had aggravated air pollution in towns and cities, leading to a health hazard.

The trade body said it was convinced that it was time not only for the business community, but every customer to wake up and join the movement and fight against use of single-use plastics and save Mother Earth for future generations.

Meanwhile, Nagaland Chamber of Commerce and Industry congratulated and appreciated Himalayans Cleanup team of Nagaland for organising zero-waste event in the State on May 25, while appealing to all stakeholders to join the fight.

KOHIMA, MAY 29 (NPN): The new office bearers of Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) who recently took over for 2019-2021 have committed themselves to look into the State government’s recruitment policies, besides attending to students’ welfare issues with utmost priority.

Newly-elected NSF president Ninoto Awomi informed media persons at a press conference at the federation’s office here Wednesday, that the decision was adopted at the first official meeting of NSF on Tuesday.

Awomi said the NSF demanded scrapping of departmental exams and asked the State government to come up with Staff Selection Board (SSB), in line with Central Staff Selection Commission (SSC).

He also demanded that backdoor appointment for

New NSF officer bearers for the period 2019-2021. (NP)

Grade-III posts be immediately stopped since the departmental examination for Grade-III posts were not trustworthy.

He also said results of the departmental exam were questionable as most selected candidates were either relatives of politicians and bureaucrats or belonged to a particular minister’s constituency.

Awomi announced that NSF would soon constitute a committee to look into this matter and would invite experts to work out how to set up SSB. He also informed that once the modalities were prepared, NSF would present this before

TIME magazine now says ‘Modi united India like no PM’ N E W YO R K , M AY 2 9 (AGENCIES): Weeks after TIME magazine featured Narendra Modi on the cover of its international edition with a controversial headline, it has now run an article that says no prime minister has united India in decades the way he has done.

The article titled ‘Modi Has United India Like No Prime Minister in Decades’ is written by Manoj Ladwa, founder and chief executive of the India Inc Group, a Londonbased media organisation.

The article comes just days after BJP secured a landslide victory in the country’s general elections, winning 303 seats in the 542-member Lok Sabha.

“Despite the strong and often unfair criticisms leveled at Modi’s policies both throughout his first term and this marathon election, no Prime Minister has united the Indian electorate as much in

close to five decades,” Ladwa writes. Ladwa, who in 2014 had led the Research Analysis and Messaging division of the Narendra Modi for Prime Minister campaign, further writes that Modi won a massive mandate as he managed to transcend India’s greatest fault line: the class divide.

The article is published in the TIME Ideas section, which the publication said “hosts the world’s leading voices, providing commentary on events in news, society, and culture.”

The article is in stark contrast to the TIME cover story done on Modi earlier this month titled ‘India’s Divider in Chief ’, written by Aatish Taseer, son of Indian journalist Tavleen Singh and late Pakistani politician and businessman Salmaan Taseer.

“Having plugged some horrendous holes in India’s notoriously inefficient and corrupt bureaucracy in his first term, he will now need to focus

much more ruthlessly on reforming those institutions and make them fit for the coming decades. This will require him to remain the pragmatic politician he is, and continue to shun the temptations of populism as he sets out his stall for a second term.”

While all achievements of the Modi’s government are still “works-in-progress”, Ladwa said that its efforts have been recognised by virtually every single global institute of any standing, including the World Bank, the IMF, and the UN, and “Modi’s India is finally progressing at a rate worthy of its size and potential.

In another article titled ‘India’s Economy Needs Tougher Reform. How Will Modi Use His Election Mandate?’ published on the TIME website, Alyssa Ayres, senior fellow for India, Pakistan, and South Asia at the Council on Foreign Relations, writes that the “continuity of a second Modi term,

then, suggests to some that a bold economic reform agenda may be what comes next.”

Ayres, who served as US deputy assistant secretary of state for South Asia from 2010 to 2013 under the Obama Administration, said due to his probusiness orientation and roadshow pitches for investment, Modi has gained a reputation among US industry as someone with a reformist mindset.

“We may well see the new Modi government storm into its new term with a bang, tackling market access problems and liberalizing the economy further to boost economic growth.

“It could happen. But equally possible might be an approach that continues a focus on infrastructure, sanitation and other development projects necessary for improved prosperity but not necessarily keys to unlocking greater bilateral trade and investment,” Ayres writes.

the government for implementation.

NSF has also insisted that merit should be given precedence for appointments as equal job opportunity must be given to all aspirant students seeking government jobs.

NSF education secretary Kegwahun Tep, also present, told the media that in the interest student welfare issues, NSF will back All Nagaland College Students’ Union (ANCSU) in the latter’s demand on the scholarship issue, besides taking up delay in distribution of books and uniforms, poor infrastructure, etc.

He also expressed deep

concern over the proxy teachers’ issue, even as the department of school education had said it was trying its best to resolve the issue.

He said NSF will cooperate with the department in sorting out the issue.

Naga political issue On the Naga political issue, NSF president Awomi the executive after a thorough deliberation on Tuesday, unanimously resolved to render unflinching support to the ongoing Naga peace process, facilitate mutual understanding among various groups and impress upon the negotiating entities for an early settlement to the protracted Naga political issue. He also said NSF also resolved to work in earnest for emotional integration of all Naga-inhabited areas and reminded everyone that NSF was not confined to Nagaland alone but also present in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur and Myanmar.

VCs allege inferior quality HVSU demands of work on PMGSY road completion of DIMAPUR, MAY 29 (NPN): Village PMGSY road councils of Seyochung, Thangthure and Yingphire have alleged inferior quality of work on the 16.87-km Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) road between L-022 and Yimphire.

They also said that wherever work was complete, grass tended to grow on the surface of the road within a month. The three village council chairmen appealed on behalf of the joint council to the chief engineer to intervene in the matter and stop further payment, unless clearance certificate was issued from their end.

DIMAPUR, MAY 29 (NPN): Following an appeal published in Nagaland Post on May 26 by village councils of Hurong and Hutanger to the contractor for completion of Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) road From Kichang to Hutanger via Hurong, Hutanger Village Students’ Union (HVSU) has appealed to the department concerned (PWD R& B) and the contractor to look into the grievances of the villagers and resume construction of the work at the earliest.

Alleging that the contractor had not started the work till date, leading to lots of inconvenience and difficulties for the villagers, failing which, HVSU president Ponji T and general secretary Hoshito in a press release stated that they would be compelled to initiate their own course of action if the contractor failed to initiate work immediately.

Pema Khandu takes oath as Arunachal CM

Pema Khandu

ITANAGAR, MAY 29 (PTI): Senior BJP leader Pema Khandu took oath as the 10th chief minister of Arunachal Pradesh on Wednesday.

State Governor Brig (Retd) B D Mishra administered the oath of office and secrecy to Khandu at a function organised at the Dorjee Khandu Convention Centre here.

Eleven Cabinet ministers, including Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein, were also administered oath along with Khandu.

Assam chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal, Meghalaya chief minister Conrad K Sangma, Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio, his deputy Y Patton, Tripura chief minister Biplab Deb and Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh along with BJP general secretary Ram Madhav were among others who attended the event.

against the perpetrators irrespective of political identity and I would also see that no BJP workers get involved or indulge in political violence," Deb, who is also the president of the state unit of BJP said.

He said, "I would appeal to all political parties to not give shelters to those persons, who are involved in violence. Their only identity is that they are criminals."

Deb, who also holds charge of the Home department said of the total 186 cases registered after the Lok Sabha election schedule was announced, 149 were

registered before elections, four on polling day and 33 after elections.

He said during the 2013 Assembly election when CPI(M) was in power in Tripura, a total of 245 cases of poll-related violence were registered. In the 2018 Tripura Assembly elections, 439 poll violence related cases were recorded, Deb said.

"Even as the numbers of poll related violence has reduced after the BJP-IPFT government came to power, it has not stopped. We have zero tolerance to political violence. We want it should be stopped forthwith," he said. A delegation led by Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly, Manik Sarkar of the CPI(M), had met the chief minister on Tuesday and submitted a memorandum regarding violence allegedly unleashed by ruling BJP supporters since the BJP-IPFT alliance assumed power last year.

DIMAPUR, MAY 29: In response to the news report from PRO (Defense) of the Indian Army, “NSCN(I-M) camp busted in Manipur” , the NSCN (I-M) stated that “it is unbecoming of Indian security forces desperate to score points over NSCN by presenting their fabricated version.”

The NSCN (I-M) termed the news report propaganda against NSCN and that it will never go far to give a winning point to the Indian security forces.

A press release by MIP stated that “quoting the residents of Todaijang and nearby villages shouting out against NSCN will only go towards “establishing the ground reality where security forces are in the habit of forcing words into the mouths of the local residents to justify their action against NSCN.” It is very unfortunate of the security forces to have undermined the sentiment of the villagers who in fact have developed deep attachment with the Indo-Naga political issue with the longing for peace to come soon, the press statement added.

The NSCN (I-M) said it was “beyond imagina-

tion for the Indian Army to target the NSCN cadres as sitting ducks, adding that vigilant as they are, NSCN cadres were swift to act without leaving anything behind.

It said that the uniforms seized by Indian Ar my belong to local hunters and the licensed gun from the hut which belongs to a hunter.

The press statement added that the hunter’s plea to provide his bonafide identity as owner of the gun was blatantly sidelined by the police and the army.

The NSCN(I-M) said the arms displayed by security forces do not belong to NSCN, calling it Indian Army’s typical style of

presenting their scoring points against NSCN. Presenting its side of the incident, the NSCN (I-M) alleged that contrary to the version of Indian Army, the civil society organizations (CSOs) of Nungba areas came out strongly against the Indian Army for dismantling three (3) paddy field huts at Mongjarong Khullen (Taodaijang) village, Nungba Sub-Division under Tamenglong district without giving any valid reason.

The press statement from NSCN(I-M) said the incident happened on May 25 when security forces used three locals including minors as human shield to escort them to the paddy fields where

the huts suspected to be used by NSCN (I-M) were located, but the locals strongly denied it.

The press statement by the NSCN (I-M) also stated that CSOs of the area expressed strong displeasure against the security forces, questioning their style of conduct which shows scant respect for the local sentiments while also violating their human rights.

It stated that csoS pointed out that such arrogance and high-handedness will only create a feeling of insecurity, loss of faith, mental harassment and will only leads to non-cooperation from the public against the Indian security forces.

zenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB), border issue (dispute at Manipur sector of IndoMyanmar border, framework agreement etc. are sensitive issues for which people will need a strong opposition party.

The resurfacing controversy over applicability of ceasefire agreement and framework agreement which the Centre signed with the NSCN(IM) was another sensitive issue that was heating up in the state, Govindas said.

At this juncture, Congress leaders, workers and most importantly legislators needed to remain united and work in accordance with the pulse of the people, Govindas observed. BJP had promised bringing back CAB and was likely to bring it back in the Parliament in June or July of the current years. At this point of time, Congress has to stand united, he said.

MLA Kh Joykishan who was among the vice presidents who tendered their resignation said keeping party legislators intact

was needed in the interest of the people of the state, adding that as the BJP was sure to bring back CAB, there was the need for mobilising party workers at the local level. The recently resurfaced controversy over applicability of ceasefire and framework agreements in the state was another sensitive issue that people will need a strong opposition party, he added.

Other MLAs who tendered their resignation from their respective of MPCC and some other MLAs and party leaders also attended the press conference.

The MLAs denied rumours on social media that they left the party to join the BJP which is in power in both at the Centre and state.

“So far there is no difference among the party MLAs. We have no intention of joining the BJP,” Govindas said, claiming that they were working in unison and will remain united.

Asserting that the Congress has lost eight out of 28 MLAs, he said that the eight had left the party only for their personal gain and the remaining 20 will not follow their suit at any circumstance.

Govindas asserted that the need of the hour was to strengthen the party at the local level which they observed weakened after the poll debacle.

Considering the sensitive issues before the people of the state, there was the need for a strong opposition party in the state.

Agartala, May 29 (PTI): Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb has appealed to all parties in the state to stop violence and said his government would take stern action against the perpetrators irrespective of their political identity.

Deb said 186 cases of violence was registered in the state after the Election Commission announced the Lok Sabha election schedule but there was no report of any political murder.

"There is a long tradition of political violence in the state. We want that it should be stopped. It is not possible for the administration alone to stop it. If all parties come forward, this menace can be stopped.

So, I appeal to all political parties to cooperate to stop violence," Deb told reporters Tuesday night at his residence. He said the BJP does not believe in political vendetta. "Our government would take stern actions

IMPHAL, May 29: Taking moral responsibility of the poll debacle, 12 legislators of the Manipur Congress tendered resignation from their respective party posts on Wednesday.

Five of the 12 legislators tendered their resignation from the post of vice president of MPCC (Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee). They were; L Loken, Kh Joykishan, Md Abdul Nasir, DD Thaisii and Chaltonlien Amo. Others who resigned from their par ty posts were chief whip Govindas Konthoujam ; treasurer, K Ranjit; general secretary, Alfred Kanggam Arthur; secretary of Congress Legislators’ Party (CLP) DK Korungthang; general secretaries RK Imo and K Meghachandra ; and chairman of minority cell of MPCC Fazur Rahim.

As disclosed by the 12 MLAs, the resignations were tendered on moral ground after the party failed to retain the two Lok Sabha

seats in Manipur in the recently concluded elections.

The MLAs addressed a news conference at Imphal Congress Bhavan after they submitted their resignation letters to the MPCC president Gaikhangam.

Govindas Konthoujam who resigned as chief whip said, “We decided to resign taking moral responsibility of the poll debacle and considering the need for strengthening the party at the grassroots level. ” In the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections, the Congress lost both the seats.

The party lost the seats to BJP and NPF, the ruling partners of the N Biren Singh led coalition government. BJP won the Inner seat while the Outer seat went to NPF. The MLAs decided to resign with the sole objective of strengthening the party by working at the grassroots level, Konthoujam said.

Rahul, Sonia to attend Modi’s swearing-in; Mamata to skip

Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. (File)

NEW DELHI, MAY 29 (PTI): Congress President Rahul Gandhi and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi will attend the swearing-in of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday evening at Rashtrapati Bhavan, party sources said.

The two Congress leaders are among those invited by the prime minister to the ceremony. They have accepted the invite, they said.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday announced that she will not attend Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s swearing-in on Thursday, alleging the BJP was using the ceremony “to score political points”.

“The oath-taking ceremony is an august occasion to celebrate democracy, not

one that should be devalued by any political party which uses it as an opportunity to score political points,” Banerjee said in a social media post.

The Trinamool Congress chief ’s reaction came after media reports said at least 70 family members of slain Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) activists in West Bengal had been invited to the ceremony as “special guests”.

This is being seen as a message to Banerjee ahead of Assembly elections scheduled in 2021.

The Chief Minister took exception to the BJP’s claim that 54 people had been “murdered in political violence” in her state.

Congratulating Modi for taking over as the Prime Minister again, Banerjee

said she did plan “to accept the constitutional invitation” and attend the oathtaking ceremony.

“However, in the past one hour, I am seeing media reports with the BJP claiming that 54 people have been murdered in political violence in Bengal,” she said.

Calling the claim “completely untrue”, she said: “There have been no political murders in Bengal.”

Baner jee said the deaths may have occurred due to “personal enmity, family quarrels and other disputes, nothing related to politics”.

“There is no such record with us,” she added.

Earlier, BJP state Secretary Tushar Kanti Ghosh told IANS: “The special guests -- including the kin of Sishupal Sahish, Trilochan Mahato and Dulal Kumar, who were killed and hanged from trees in Bengal’s Purulia district -- will be taken to New Delhi by Rajdhani Express.”

He said they were scheduled to return on Friday.

During the Lok Sabha election campaign, Modi and BJP President Amit Shah repeatedly highlighted the issue of violence directed at their party in West Bengal.

5 SC agrees to examine power Another Do not want to be a minister MLA due to health reasons: Jaitley to arrest tax authorities Trinamool joins BJP NEW DELHI, MAY 29 dismissed the special leave ment,” Jaitley wrote.

(PTI): The Supreme Court agreed Wednesday to examine the powers of tax authorities to arrest an individual for GST evasion saying that different high courts have taken divergent views on the issue and it was necessary to clarify the position in law.

A vacation bench comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice Aniruddha Bose issued notice on the Centre’s plea against the Bombay High Court verdict which had granted protection from arrest to certain individuals in the Goods and Services Tax evasion cases.

“Issue notice returnable in four weeks. As different High Courts of the country have taken divergent views in the matter, we are of the view that the position in law should be clarified by this court.

Hence, the notice,” the bench said.

The court said that at this stage it would not like to interfere with the prearrest bails granted to these individuals by the Bombay High Court.

“However, we make it clear that the High Courts while entertaining such request (protection from arrest) in future, will keep in mind that this Court by order dated May 27...had

petition filed against the judgment and order of the Telangana High Court in a similar matter, wherein the High Court of Telangana had taken a view contrary (refused to grant protection from arrest) to what has been held by the High Court in the present case,” the bench said.

The bench listed the batch of petitions before a three-judge bench to decide the question of law on the power of arrest.

The top court had on May 27 dismissed a plea challenging the Telangana High Court verdict which had said that a person can be arrested by the authority concerned in cases of GST evasion.

On April 18, the Telangana high court had said it was not inclined to grant relief against arrest to petitioners who had approached it challenging the summons issued by Superintendent (Anti-Evasion) of the Hyderabad GST Commissionerate under the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 and invocation of penal provisions under the law.

The high court had delivered the verdict which dealt with a batch of petitions filed by some private companies, its top officials and others.

Chandrababu Naidu elected as TDLP leader should be the TDLP leader.

It gives us a lot of confidence and strength,” senior legislator Gorantla Butchaiah Chowdary said.

Another legislator, N China Rajappa, said they had unanimously elected Naidu as their leader once again. He said they had

entrusted the choice of selecting the TDLP deputy leaders and the party whip with Naidu.

Later, Naidu appointed Galla Jayadev, who was re-elected as the MP from Guntur, as the leader of the Telugu Desam Parliamentary Party.

This will enable me to concentrate on my treatment and health,” he wrote. Stating it was a matter of “great honour and learning experience” to have been a part of the Modi government for the last five years, Jaitley said even earlier the party had bestowed responsibility on him in the first NDA government, as also when the BJP was in the opposition.

Jaitley was the leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha from 2009 to 2014.

Arun Jaitley

NEW DELHI, MAY 29 (PTI): A day before the swearing-in ceremony of the new government, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Wednesday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying he does not want to be a minister in his new government due to health reasons.

Ending days of speculations over his role in the new government owing to his ill health, he posted on Twitter the letter he wrote to Modi requesting recusal from being a part of the new government on health grounds.

Jaitley said soon after BJP won a massive majority in the just-concluded Lok Sabha elections, he informed Modi orally about his intentions of taking time out for treatment of an undisclosed illness.

“I am writing to you to formally request you that I should be allowed a reasonable time for myself, my treatment and my health and therefore, not be a part of any responsibility, for the present, in the new govern-

KOLKATA, MAY 29 (PTI): Six legislators of the Trinamool Congress are likely to switch sides in a few days along with a few former MPs of the party, BJP sources claimed Wednesday.

“Six TMC MLAs are likely to join us soon. Many more councillors of various municipalities are also in line. Just wait and watch,” a senior BJP leader said on condition of anonymity.

The leader said not just MLAs, a few former MPs of Trinamool Congress, are also in touch with the party and have expressed their desire to join BJP in its “fight against misrule of the TMC”.

Of the six MLAs, four are from south Bengal and two from north Bengal, he said.

Three MLAs, including BJP leader Mukul Roy’s son Subhrangshu Roy, and over 50 councillors, most of them from the Trinamool Congress, joined the saffron party on Tuesday as it works to consolidate its position in the state following impressive show in the Lok Sabha polls.

In a stunning performance, the BJP won 18 Lok Sabha seats in the state, only four less than TMC’s 22.

The MLAs who joined the BJP at a press conference are Congress’s Tusharkanti Bhattacharya and CPI(M)’s Debendra Nath Roy, besides Roy who was suspended from the TMC for “anti-party” activities after the election results were announced.

The Trinamool Congress, however, tried to downplay the development.

and the three MPs, besides senior leaders of the party.

Since the election results were declared on May 23, there was speculation in party circles that Naidu would make way for another leader to lead the TDLP. At the TDLP meeting, however, the lawmakers elected him unanimously, according to party sources.

AMARAVATI, MAY 29 (PTI): TDP president and former Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu was unanimously elected as the leader of the Telugu Desam Legislature Party (TDLP) here on Wednesday.

A meeting of the TDLP, attended by the newly-elected MLAs and MPs of the party, was held at Naidu’s residence.

NEW DELHI, MAY 29 (IANS): West Bengal’s ruling Trinamool Congress on Wednesday suffered another jolt as one of its prominent Muslim faces and MLA joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Monirul Islam, elected from Labpur constituency, and several office bearers of the Trinamool Congress in Birbhum district joined the saffron camp at the BJP headquarters here in the presence of BJP General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya and senior leader Mukul Roy. They include Gadadhar Hazra, a former Trinamool MLA, Asif Iqbal and Nimai Das. Iqbal and Das are district office bearers of the party.

After their formal induction, Vijayvargiya accused Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of practising politics of “terror” in the state and claimed she had lost the faith of the people as well party cadres.

“People of West Bengal have now faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi and they feel he can do all round development of the state,” he said.

On Tuesday, three MLAs -- two of the Trinamool and one from the CPI-M -- besides over 60 Trinamool councillors joined the BJP here in the wake of the Trinamool’s poor showing in the Lok Sabha elections.

Nagaland Post Vol. XXIX NO. 172 Dimapur, thurSDAY, MAY 30, 2019

A second opportunity

N

arendra Modi will be the 17th Prime Minister (in person) of India after his swearing-in on May 30 and the 4th Prime Minister to serve two consecutive terms . Modi is also the first Non Congress Party Prime Minister of India who would complete two consecutive terms. Having led the BJP to a massive mandate by winning 303 seats on its own( short of 350 for a 2/3rd majority) , Modi can now fulfil whatever his party had promised including many of those unfulfilled promises made in 2014. In addition the NDA now has a mammoth majority of 353, which is more than 2/3rd of the strength of the Lok Sabha. This alone will ensure that Modi can take major decisions without any hindrance. The absolute sway of the BJP and NDA in the 17th Lok Sabha is significant because it means that if Modi wants, he can transform India in a positive way. It may be mentioned that while in 2014 Narendra Modi was a gamble, in 2019 he has been an informed choice. If the vote for Modi then was an expression of anti-incumbency against the Congress-led UPA, this time it has been an assertion of the right course. In 2014 Modi was magic and wave, then in 2019, Modi is the voice of ‘New India’ loud and clear. In his second consecutive innings, Modi will be expected to learn from mistakes in the first term and take course correction where needed.

There were a number of initiatives taken by the Modi government in their first term, which should be taken to their logical conclusion now that it has been given a second mandate. His first priority should be to send a strong message across, that his government will follow an inclusive policy towards all Indians. He must also keep in mind that his first term was marred by his own ministers and party functionaries and so has to adopt a zerotolerance policy towards motormouths. Modi has expressed anger at what his party member Pragya Singh Thakur had said in venerating Nathuram Godse and so people like her have to be put in their place. That will set lessons for others. It is also a golden opportunity for Modi to ensure that nuisances like stray cattle and cow vigilantes have to be tackled ruthlessly and order state authorities to deal with such aberrations with a firm hand.

Such crimes cannot be allowed to supersede local political leadership. Also the safety of women, minorities and Dalits should be non-negotiable without exception. The biggest expectation of the public from Modi will be his promised action against corruption and economic offenders, on which the general perception is that of slow progress. The Modi government should try and put the spotlight on real issues of governance, rather than diverting from them by riding solely on hypernationalism. Modi should also try and reduce the gap between the larger-than-life advertising of their schemes and their actual implementation on ground. He should also focus on contemporary issues rather than distorting history, as was done in the first term. The new government under Modi should also try and focus on their own governance performance , rather than dragging a former prime minister into current politics. In this way, Modi can assure the people that he is serious about his vision of a ‘New India.’

DailyDevotion Untroubled Relationship In that day you will ask in My name…for the Father

Himself loves you… —John 16:26-27 “In that day you will ask in My name…,” that is, in My nature. Not “You will use My name as some magic word,” but— “You will be so intimate with Me that you will be one with Me.” “That day” is not a day in the next life, but a day meant for here and now. “… for the Father Himself loves you…”— the Father’s love is evidence that our union with Jesus is complete and absolute. Our Lord does not mean that our lives will be free from external difficulties and uncertainties, but that just as He knew the Father’s heart and mind, we too can be lifted by Him into heavenly places through the baptism of the Holy Spirit, so that He can reveal the teachings of God to us. “…whatever you ask the Father in My name…”

(John 16:23). “That day” is a day of peace and an untroubled relationship between God and His saint. Just as Jesus stood unblemished and pure in the presence of His Father, we too by the mighty power and effectiveness of the baptism of the Holy Spirit can be lifted into that relationship— “…that they may be one just as We are one…” (John 17:22). “…He will give you” (John 16:23). Jesus said that because of His name God will recognize and respond to our prayers. What a great challenge and invitation— to pray in His name! Through the resurrection and ascension power of Jesus, and through the Holy Spirit He has sent, we can be lifted into such a relationship. Once in that wonderful position, having been placed there by Jesus Christ, we can pray to God in Jesus’ name— in His nature. This is a gift granted to us through the Holy Spirit, and Jesus said, “…whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.” The sovereign character of Jesus Christ is tested and proved by His own statements.

Post-mortem

Bravo! The four village councils

H

earty congratulations to the 4 Village councils of Purana Bazar, Padumpukhri, Naharbari and Darogapathar of Dimapur for the unconditional support conscientiously extended to the ongoing 4-lane road passing though these Villages. The joint resolution adopted by the four villages that none from these villages will either claim land compensation from Govt. for sacrificing limited areas of private lands for the said road project nor will anyone lodge complaint by which the progress of the work will be definitely hampered but rather they resolved that they should also sacrifice something for the common asset. The most appropriate action of the 4 Village Councils reminds me of the Biblical story of the prophet Elijah vrs the King Ahab and his terrible wife Jezebel of Israel. The prophet Elijah thought that in the whole of the Israelite world, there was no other prophet fearing and obeying the Living God except himself. Yet, God told Elijah that beside him there are 7 thousand prophets who had never worshipped Baal, the god of Jezebel. Similarly, I was in the belief that while the most vital 4-lane road project of Purana-Chumikedima is being pestered by all kind of elements undeservedly, there are too few who can voluntarily step out to boldly salvage the project at this time. Whereas, the said 4 Village Councils have just taken the most appropriate decision at the right time is

F

but soothing and encouraging. For any development in Nagaland, such cooperation of the public is the prerequisite without which nothing can be developed successfully. This precedence is set for others to emulate.

Meanwhile, in my last article, inadvertently I failed to congratulate the Chairmen of the Village Councils along Purana Bazar-Chumikedima road who resolved to support the project which was published in the local papers a fortnight ago . That very resolution was most essential when the project was put in jeopardy at that time. The positive actions of the Chairmen of those Village Councils including the said 4 Villages are indeed of great service to the people of Nagaland. The resolutions and the voices in support of the lifeline being raised by the local authorities will not hopefully go in vain though there is none beside me to cheer you up since the concerned public and tribal platforms preferred remaining silent as usual in Nagaland style.

Whereas, under the ongoing 2-lane roads, in certain areas I found that there are few people who have become professional trouble shooters disrupting the ongoing road works with manufactured reasons. After deeper studies, it is found that those who had received payment already for damage compensation are the ones hampering the progress of the works in certain cases for the mere reason that they had received money for valid

or invalid cause and yet they want more. It is also found that those trouble shooters are no other than the Village or area leaders and not the ordinary citizens. These unscrupulous selfish ones who can never be satisfied with whatever amount of payment of money it may be are those who have no culture of gratefulness to God and to other people. The philosophy of this category of people is that disturbing the atmosphere of peace, harassing the civil administration with legitimate or illegitimate complaints and stalling the road works are considered to be of better strategy to draw the attention of the people in power.

These people believe that popularity in society has to be earned with unpopularity. Such culture is alien to Naga way of life, and how long shall the right thinking people remain the silent spectators is the question.

Any development in Nagaland is always a fierce battle between for and against. Most of the developmental projects normally become as an antelope is to the hungry lioness. The lionesses in Nagaland are more expert hunters than those in African wild reserves. These professional predators never spare any of the developmental activities lest pound of flesh is extracted from the projects. Whatever may be the situation, we have to remain vigil and ward off those predators from devouring the ongoing road projects.

Food for thought

uring recent interaction of Mr Piyush Goyal on ‘International Customs Day’, the acting Finance Minister expressed that every Indian must pay tax as the era of high taxes and misuse of public money is over. Appealing to the business community to pay taxes honestly and do business ethically, he said that every rupee collected is put to good use, to put a roof over someone’s head, to bring digital connectivity and electricity to rural areas, ensure better future for the youth and also to ensure the basic dignity for women in our country.

The Economic Survey 2017-18, puts the number of income tax payers at 5.9 crore people or 4.5% of total population. Depicting as per percentage of population does give an inflated number of tax payers, considering that the population also includes many groups which are not required to pay income tax; like children, students, those with income below the exemption limit, or those earning income from agriculture but still 4.5% is astonishing. It is easy to evade taxes in an economy such as India’s, where cash has traditionally been the preferred mode of payment.

With no paper trail, self-employed doctors, lawyers, business establishments etc. can under-report income. The failed demonetization effort was more of a tax-collection initiative to get people to disclose unreported wealth and large amounts of cash stashed away to be deposited in bank accounts.

The entire North Eastern Region (NER) has been given ‘Special Status’ to ensure overall economic development in the state. The ‘Special Status’ ensures that the State’s tribal inhabitants are exempted from Income Tax. Still, we do pay a small share of tax every time we buy essentials; a portion of the amount of which goes to the government in a form of indirect tax. The recently introduced Goods & Services Tax (GST) also works on the same principle albeit with a centralised working structure.

An average Naga is ready to

struggle in ones quest to become an entrepreneur or to venture in business undertakings. But there is always a dilemma owing to the multiple tax regimes of the various Groups. Illegal taxation/extortion, as a practice, has been going on for the past four decades, somewhat prominent in the late 80s and reached menacing levels in the 90s. Now with requirements ever increasing, citizens are paying a heavy price. The yearly financial loss to the State exchequer can also be gauged in the process.

Our complacency to the various forms of extortions has adversely impacted the economy of the state. The exorbitant taxes levied on goods and services vehicle and on the business community leaves business houses with no option but to recover their loss from the common citizens. Hence, such artificial factors are causing rates of commodities to increase more than usual. While the State Government remains innate to the state of affairs it is encouraging that organizations/ mindful citizens are voicing concerns against illegal tax collection. Not much headway has been made but resistance has caused the earlier practice of shamelessly having collecting booth alongside police check gates to give way. With time, I am sanguine, other novel ways of collection will give way too.

Long have Nagas played the role of foster parents to the various outfits; we need to encourage introducing a robust Income Tax model within Nagaland by taking a stand against all forms of taxation, instead. Introduction of Income Tax will not only relief us of excess reliance on the Centre for funding of all infrastructural projects, but make us beneficiaries of sustainable economic development. End to illegal tax collection and introducing Income Tax is the honest way and rest assured the surest approach to shape Nagaland’s future.

Nagaland’s felicitation culture

elicitation is an essential component of social life, and every morning, as I read our local dailies, I am reminded of how essential “Felicitation” is. As I sit down, each day, to read our newspapers, the pages are filled with felicitations. They actually remind me of our society’s most “unique” idiosyncrasies: excessiveness and vanity. Most people in Nagaland do go overboard. We like to do things in excess. It seems quite improbable for us to do things (in anything) within some sort of limits or bounds. We usually like to go to the extremes, without any limits (mostly in frivolous things): extreme felicitations, extreme vanities, extreme demand for quota system, extreme mismanagement of funds, extreme feminism, extreme party defections, extreme alcoholism, extreme dysfunctional government, and extreme numbers of NGOs, political parties, colleges, schools, coaching centers, entrepreneurs, and so on. We usually like to take things too far.

Felicitations should be done, but not to the extent that it is happening in Nagaland. We shower felicitations in newspapers because we think that it is new. But as it is written in our Holy Scripture: Is there a thing of which it is said,/ “See, this is new”?/ It has been already/ in the ages before us (Ecclesiastes 1: 10). Likewise, we think it is new or is happening for the first time, but remember, as we are reminded by the Scripture, everything has happened before. This passage reminds us to be humble and not immerse ourselves in vanities.

Sometimes I wonder what outsiders on their visit to our “unique” state, who are miles ahead of us in every possible aspect, think of us when they pick one of our local dailies only to find its pages filled with felicitations for passing tenth standards, twelfth

standards, getting higher degrees, getting promotions, winning state and parliamentary elections, being selected/elected as a chairperson/president of various village councils, student bodies, Naga political groups, political parties, as well as for winning awards (ones which can be bought if one is well connected and financially viable). Upon stumbling onto such innumerable felicitations and the levels of such reasons of felicitations (passing exams as though no one had ever done it before, or as though being elected/selected into a parliament, legislative assemblies, students’ bodies or village councils, etc. is happening for the first time in human history) which hardly are a cause for celebrations, one is left wondering about how backward Nagaland is or must be to laud achievements of minor magnitudes.

This reminds me of a passage from a book by one of India’s most erudite and original thinkers (even more so than Gandhi), Dr. B. R. Ambedkar. The passage reads thusly: “The year I passed the English Fourth Standard Examination, my community people wanted to celebrate the occasion by holding a public meeting to congratulate me. Compared to the state of education in other communities, this was hardly an occasion for celebration. But it was felt by the organizers that I was the first boy in my community to reach this stage; they thought that I had reached a great height.

They went to my father to ask for his permission. My father flatly refused, saying that such a thing would only inflate the boy’s head; after all, he has only passed an examination and done nothing more.”

I quote the above passage at lengths to implicitly illustrate to the readers of our overdone culture and tradition (and might as well add ‘customary’ to

complete the circle, as the saying goes) of felicitation.

We should indeed applaud those who deserve such laudations; yet, it is not necessary that it should be done for something that is one’s duties or responsibilities. In other words, I should, for example, not be commended for doing my job when, to borrow Ambedkar’s words, I had “done nothing more” than what is expected of me. It is as though, because I am a teacher/student, I should be felicitated in the local dailies about how well I taught the class/pass my final examinations, etc.

Indeed, this example may seem rather far-fetched, but the logic is the same. Certainly, the class of achievements for which felicitation are hurled in almost every page of our local dailies is just inappropriate. Felicitate, but not to the extent of taking valuable spaces from the newspaper, which are meant for more serious concerns than a laudation for passing an exam, getting a higher degree, getting promoted, etc. (which are neither new nor unique). Win a Noble Prize or achieve something that changes the world like technologies that make modern life possible, life-saving medicine, etc.

Those are proper causes for felicitation.

To felicitate and write, “…for bringing Laurels to our community,” for trifling matters only display our “mini” mindset and vindicate that we truly are a backward society. In addition, all such adulations, by and large, have a tendency to inflate the egos of those who are felicitated by making them think that they have achieved all that there is to achieve in life (of course, not all of them, but the majority of them); thus, making them complacent. We are small people, even our achievements are “mini,” small, and pitiful.

Even the culture of felicitation has become a sort of unhealthy competition between tribes, clans, villages,

range, families, etc.

I suppose even our newspapers ought to take responsibilities for inadvertently fueling our felicitation culture. I do understand that newspapers need revenue to run their papers.

However, as the fourth pillar in a democratic society with one of the most important responsibilities of informing citizens about the conditions of one’s society and holding those in power to be accountable and responsible, our local news dailies ought to, at the very least, limit printing of such uncontrolled and overdone inconsequential felicitations. Additionally, our local newspapers are one of the centerpieces of our society, and when such centerpieces are filled with felicitations about minor, everyday accomplishments, it gives a bad and low image not only of the society but also of the standards and quality of our newspapers as well. These innumerable felicitations further ignoble their image. When we read the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Hindu, the Indian Express, etc., we will seldom come across felicitations (even noble prize winners do not get felicitated in the newspaper).

More impor tantly, such felicitations take up valuable space meant for public discussions. They rob readers as well as the society of valuable space for intense deliberations and considerations about important public matters, which the papers provide.

Not to mention, we do pay newspaper bills. This is evident when we look at the majority of our local dailies. We find that in most of our newspapers very minimal amount of space is allocated for public discourse, sometimes some articles are published in two halves due to lack of space. We find ourselves in such conditions precisely because we tend to not know how to use whatever we have prudently and

wisely. We tend to exploit and abuse whatever we are given, no exceptions.

Let’s just look at some lists: abuse the space in the newspapers given to public by filling them with mundane felicitations, abuse the governmental departments as our personal piggy bank, abuse the land-ownership system, abuse the bank loan system which explains the innumerable new vehicles I see every day as I make my way to work, abuse the inchoate legal system by utilizing and invalidate them according to our convenience, abuse the voting system, and so on.

It is extremely saddening to see the citizens abuse the space and liberty given by our local dailies.

It is saddening in particular because, for me, our newspapers are the only refuge for rational discussions and considerations in a society where most of its societal institutions are impaired and thus are oblivious to the needs and wishes of its people. It is neither with immense pride nor joy that I write this article, about the issue of “Felicitation.”

I had hoped for a long time that such adulations of everyday accomplishments will be minimized as rational and sensible people of Nagaland will come to a

realization about how silly the whole enterprise is.

But, to my astonishment, it seems as though either people really don’t care or they haven’t realized the silliness of felicitating mundane achievements.

Or, because we are Nagas, it just could well be simply a bandwagon effect, fearing not to be left out or outdone by other communities, clans, families, villages, etc., we follow the trend; we go where the crowd goes. We are good at this. I am confident that the majority of the readers are not too keen to see the pages of their newspapers being filled with felicitations. Hence, it is of immense importance that such felicitations be minimized in the interest of the general public.

I take great pain to clarify that I have no intentions of upsetting or offending anyone, and if I have, then I do apologize. Yet, at the same time, it is sometimes indispensable that in order to honestly discuss issues of vital importance, one must risk offending others. This is the only manner in which we can sincerely address societal maladies that chew away its very foundations.

Noise pollution

The Traffic Police in Dimapur is doing a great service to the people by checking noise pollution which people had to endure for a long time. The nasty noisy modified car/bike races through the night without a thought for disturbing the sleeping neighbourhood must all be pulled out for discipline now. It is true that their modified beauties are the envy of all young people but it is adding more pollution to the already tired and chocking world. While it is good to be owner of one such noisy contraption that looks so sleek, it would behove well to show good road manners, including reduction of noise pollution. The Traffic Police not only in Dimapur but across the state must check such noise menaces.

Tadvi suicide case: 3 doctors arrested

M u m b a i , M ay 2 9 (PTI): Two more doctors have been arrested for allegedly abetting the suicide of a junior colleague by tormenting her with casteist slurs at a state-run hospital here, taking the total number of those arrested in the case to three, police said Wednesday.

While one doctor, Bhakti Mehere, was arrested on Tuesday after initial interrogation, the two other accused - Hema Ahuja and Ankita Khandelwal - were absconding.

“Ahuja and Khandelwal were arrested in the early hours of Wednesday by the Agripada police in central Mumbai,” a senior police official told PTI. They will be produced in a court on Wednesday, he added.

The three were booked after their junior colleague

The three doctors accused in Payal Tadvi suicide case arrive at session court, in Mumbai, Wednesday. (PTI)

Payal Tadvi at B Y L Nair Hospital here committed suicide at her hostel last week, a senior police official said.

Tadvi, 26, hanged herself at her room last Wednesday following, which her family alleged that the doctors taunted her by ragging and

hurling casteist abuses as she belonged to a Scheduled Tribe.

Protesters from the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi and other Dalit and tribal organisations earlier held protests outside the hospital.

The accused have been booked under relevant provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, the Anti-Ragging Act, the IT Act and Section 306 (abetment to suicide) of the Indian Penal Code.

NEW DELHI, MAY 29 (AGENCIES): A military tribunal on Wednesday allowed Vice Admiral Karambir Singh to take charge as the new Navy chief on Friday as it deferred hearing on a petition challenging his appointment by nearly seven weeks.

Commander-in-Chief of the Andaman and Nicobar Command Vice Admiral Bimal Verma had approached the Armed Forces Tribunal (AFT) here challenging the appointment of Vice Admiral Singh as the next Navy Chief, overlooking his seniority.

“The AFT posted the matter for hearing on July 17 as government sought more time for placing records relating to Vice Admiral Singh’’s appointment before the tribunal,” Vice Admiral Verma’s lawyer Ankur Chhibber said. He said the AFT allowed Vice Admiral Singh to take charge as the new Navy chief from incumbent Admiral Sunil Lanba on May 31 and that his continuation will depend on the final outcome of the case. Vice Admiral Verma is the senior-most naval commander.

On May 22, the tribunal had directed the government to produce before it on May 29 all records and documents relating to selection of the new Navy chief.

Over 50 injured in clashes at Kulgam gunfight site Srinagar, May 29 (IANS): More than 50 civilian protesters were injured on Wednesday in clashes with security forces near the site of a gunfight with militants in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kulgam district. As soon as the firing exchanges started between the security forces and the holed-up militants in Tazipora (Mohammadpora) village, dozens of protesters pelted stones at the security personnel, said police sources. “Over 50 protesters were injured in the clashes as the security forces used tear smoke and pellet gunshots to disperse the unruly mob,” an official said. Reports said the militants managed to escape while the security forces were dealing with the protesters.

New Delhi, May 29 (AGENCIES): From Rs 700 in her bank account to over Rs 75 lakh in just 32 months! No, this is not a classic rags to riches story but one of a government official allegedly using his domestic help’s account to “camouflage” his wealth.

CBI officials on Wednesday said Saritha and A K Yadav, a former joint chief controller of explosives in Petroleum Explosives and Safety Organisation, Chennai, have been booked for allegedly amassing illicit wealth to the tune of Rs 98.89 lakh, nearly 311.3 per cent above the officer’s legal income.

vision and their aspirations fulfilled.

Awomi said the Tuesday’s meeting also agreed to follow up on major issues pending before the federation and the general issues confronting the Naga society today, including CAB and ILP. Meanwhile, NSF decided to set up a media cell, to be led by its assistant general secretary Siipuni Ng Philo, which will be responsible for bridging the communication gap between the federation and general public.

Awomi announced that NSF official Facebook and Instagram accounts, besides Twitter handle, would become active at the earliest, while all official press releases and communiqués would be the responsibility of the media cell. He said the federation also decided to constitute a

public grievances redressal cell that would be led by its vice-president Devi Yano as convener and education & statistics secretary Kegwayhun Tep as coconvenor.

It was also decided to set-up a dedicated hotline number to receive complaints and suggestions from the general public, to file RTIs and other necessary actions to be taken in order to ensure that grievances of the general public are redressed in a fitting manner.

All complaints and suggestions received would be tabled before the executive council for deliberations and the suggested actions taken thereafter, he added.

Meanwhile, NSF will be organizing a felicitation programme for HSLC toppers at hotel Japfu here on June 15.

The agency has also found suspicious the role of TVK Kumaresan, who acted as Yadav’s agent, they said. Kumaresan has also been named in the FIR. The agency had received information that Yadav “enriched” himself “illicitly” during his tenure as joint chief controller of explosives in Chennai from August 12, 2015 to April 7, 2018 when he retired from service, the CBI FIR alleged. It was alleged that during the check period 2015-18 he accrued disproportionate assets worth Rs

1.37 crore in his as well as his maid Saritha’s name, whereas his legal income during the period was Rs 31.76 lakh only, they said.

After deducting his expenses, the agency alleged, he had illegal wealth of Rs 98.89 lakh.

In its calculations, the agency showed that immovable assets worth Rs 44.35 lakh and movable assets worth Rs 30.94 were held

by Saritha in 2018 who had just Rs 700 in her savings account in 2015, when Yadav joined the Chennai office.

Ranchi, May 29 (IANS): A special CBI court here on Wednesday convicted 16 accused in a multi-millionrupee fodder scam and jailed them for three to four years.

According to a government lawyer, the Special CBI court of S.N. Mishra convicted the 16 persons for fraudulent withdrawal of Rs 37 crore from Chaibasa treasury. The court sentenced 11 of them to three years in jail and five others to four years imprisonment. The special CBI court had convicted former Bihar Chief Ministers Lalu Yadav and Jagannath Mishra in the same case in 2013.

According to the report, on the domestic front, subdued industrial activity and uncertainty on trade will add to the delay in the revival of industrial investment.

“Given that the disruptions caused by demonetisation and GST should have waned by now, the slower pick-up across different sectors and investment along with weakening of demand parameters indicate that the slowdown in economic activity is becoming more apparent,” Singh noted.

According to D&B, growth in the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) during April 2019 is expected to edge higher from the previous month’s level but that would be largely owing to a low base effect.

The report noted that the distress in some of the sectors along with uncertainty in global trade is expected to weigh on IIP.

New Delhi, May 29 (PTI): The Reserve Bank of India is expected to cut key policy rates by 25 bps in the upcoming monetary policy meeting amid subdued domestic industrial activity and slowdown in trade on the global front, says a report.

“While the upside risks to inflation are currently from the monsoon, reversal in food prices and further rise in oil prices warrant a ‘wait and watch’ policy mode, the slowdown in the growth momentum is likely to weigh upon the monetary policy decision,” Dun & Bradstreet India Chief Economist Ar un Singh said..

D&B expects a 25-bps rate cut in the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meet early next month.

The MPC, which decides on key interest rates, will hold a meeting on June 3, 4 and 6.

“This is fresh requirement beyond what had been approved earlier,” said a senior Air India official.

Explaining the justification for fresh demand, the official said that the government was to give Air India a financial support of Rs 2,484 crore, the balance of the budgetary support.

“This could be provided as a Government of India (GoI) guarantee or in the form of loan. If it gives us guarantee, we can borrow from the bank. In case the support comes as loan, the interest would be directly paid to the government. The NSSF loan is like borrowing

New India, May 29 (IANS): Disinvestmentbound Air India has sought the government’s approval to borrow Rs 2,400 crore from National Small Savings Fund (NSSF), a pool of small savings from households, to meet its working capital requirements.

The airline, which has seen its total debt ballooning to Rs 58,000 crore, made the request at a meeting on May 14 of all the top bosses of agencies working under the Civil Aviation Ministry. The meeting was chaired by Civil Aviation Secretary Pradeep Singh Kharola.

The Aviation Secretary is, however, learnt to have advised Air India to

from the government and it is about 0.5 per cent cheaper compared to commercial banks,” he said.

The airline’s ever-increasing hunger for loans indicates its precarious financial health. This also raises questions over timing of the airline’s disinvestment.

But top sources in the government said the disinvestment of Air India would be done in the next few months given that it is one of the unfinished agendas of Narendra Modi-led government.

“Going at the current pace, the EoI (expression of interest) for the sale of Air India will soon be out.

Disinvestment of the airline is now a matter of months,” said a senior government official.

Meanwhile, the airline has put its expansion plan on hold in the wake of the disinvestment plan. It would not take any new aircraft on lease and network expansion would be done only by making more grounded aircraft operational.

Silver, however, declined Rs 225 to Rs 37,325 per kg on subdued offtake by industrial units and coin makers.

Besides, a weaker rupee raised safe haven appeal of the precious metal, they added.

Scott Morrison, ministers sworn-in after poll victory

Morrison sworn in as Australia’s prime minister.

NZ treasury website hacked Wellington, May 29 (IANS): Ahead of its much speculated “well-being budget” scheduled on Thursday, hackers stole crucial information from New Zealand’s Treasury website. Someone made more than 2,000 unauthorised attempts that appeared to be directed at Budget-related information, nzherald.co.nz reported on Wednesday, adding that Treasury Secretary Gabriel Makhlouf confirmed the hack. While it was not clear whether the hack had come from within New Zealand or outside, Makhlouf said that would form part of the police investigation. According to a report in the BBC, New Zealand’s main opposition party, which leaked details of the budget two days ahead of schedule on Tuesday, has denied hacking into the government’s computer systems.

ceremony.

Morrison’s LiberalNational Party Coalition (LNP) defied polls to win a third term in government in the general election on May 18, defeating the opposition Australian Labour Party (ALP).

He elevated Sussan Ley, Linda Reynolds and Anne Ruston to his Cabinet -- the government’s council of senior ministers -- as the Ministers for the Environment, Defence and Families and Social Services, respectively.

They joined Foreign Affairs Minister Marise Payne, Agriculture Minister Bridget McKenzie, Employment Minister Michaelia Cash and Industry Minister Karen Andrews as women in Cabinet.

Australia’s 46th Parliament is expected to convene for the first time in the

first week of July, with the Electoral Commission still counting votes.

In the first post-election meeting with coalition MPs on Tuesday, Morrison insisted his “hungry, committed and united” team would focus on the aspirations of ordinary Australians during their third term in power.

“They are the reason we have the opportunity and the great privilege to serve them each and every day,” the Prime Minister told his colleagues.

“We must burn for the Australian people every single day that we have this privilege of serving them, in this party room and as a government.”

Morrison warned his ministers that there was a wealth of talent within the government’s ranks to keep the pressure on them to perform.

B ru ss e l s, M ay 2 9 (IANS): France and Germany have disagreed on who should be the president of the blocs executive arm, the European Commission, as leaders from the bloc met here following parliamentary elections. The vote saw the big centrist blocs lose their majorities with Greens and nationalists gaining ground.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel wants centre-right candidate Manfred Weber as the next EU Commission president.

But French President Emmanuel Macron did not even mention Weber as a contender for the influential position, reported the BBC on Wednesday.

Their comments came on Tuesday at a meeting, which was a chance for the EU leaders to discuss the new political landscape and who might take over the top jobs. The elections left the EU more fragmented with the chances of reaching consensus more difficult.

The President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, said Brexit was a factor behind a majority of voters favouring pro-EU parties. “As Europeans see what Brexit means in practice, they also draw conclusions.

Brexit has been a vaccine against anti-EU propaganda and fake news,” said Tusk.

According to the BBC report, UK Prime Minister Theresa May took part in talks but Tusk said Brexit was not discussed.

The commission is the body that enforces EU rules and drafts EU law, and its presidency is currently held

by Jean-Claude Juncker, who is at the end of his fiveyear term. In 2014, Juncker was chosen to head the Commission as the centreright European People’s Party (EPP) candidate, after the EPP had won the election.

But it is a much tougher challenge this time for the EPP’s candidate Manfred Weber - a German - after his bloc shrank from 217 seats to 180 in the 751-seat parliament, although it remains the biggest grouping.

After the talks, Merkel, said she stood by Weber, but “others stand by their candidate, which is obvious”.

Earlier in the day, Macron had said he did not want to talk about names, but also mentioned three, none of them Weber.

He later refused to name a favourite candidate, saying he wanted them to be “the most charismatic, creative and competent possible”. If not Weber, then who? Several others are in the running, among them chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier, who is French, Danish liberal Margrethe Vestager and Dutch centre-left candidate Frans Timmermans, the BBC reported.

Myanmar Army committed war crimes against minorities: Report Ya n g o n, M ay 2 9 (IANS): The Myanmar military has committed war crimes during its offensive against the Arakan Army following a government order to crush the armed group, a report said on Wednesday.

The Amnesty International report said in the last few months Myanmar soldiers have killed and wounded civilians in indiscriminate attacks in Rakhine state, Efe news reported.

It is the same area where the Army in 2017 carried out an offensive against the mostly-Muslim Rohingya minority group, an operation the UN said showed evidence of genocidal intent.

In the report titled “No one can protect us: War crimes and abuses

in Myanmar’s Rakhine State”, the non-profit also denounced atrocities committed by the Arakan Army, such as abductions and intimidation, but accused the Myanmar military of committing human rights violations such as extrajudicial executions, arbitrary arrests, torture and other ill-treatment, and enforced disappearances.

“Less than two years since the world outrage over the mass atrocities committed against the Rohingya population, the Myanmar military is again committing horrific abuses against ethnic groups in Rakhine State,” Nicholas Bequelin, Amnesty International’s regional director for East and Southeast Asia, said in a statement.

‘Egg Boy’ donates to NZ attack survivors Canberra, May 29 (IANS): An Australian teenager, who broke an egg on a controversial farright senator’s head for blaming Muslims for the Christchurch attack, has donated $69,000 to survivors of the New Zealand mosque attacks.

Will Connolly, 17, egged Fraser Anning in March, prompting people online to dub him the “Egg Boy” and flooded him with

donations to pay his legal expenses, the BBC reported.

Anning had caused fury after the March 15 attack when he said Muslim mi-

gration was to blame for the Christchurch shootings that killed 51 people.

The lawmaker was formally censured by Australia’s Senate in April for his “appalling” remarks, made on the day of the shootings.

Connolly had confronted the senator from behind as he gave a press conference in Melbourne on March 16. Footage of the clash went viral.

confirms new Guns N’ Nagamese movie Slash Roses music is on the way ‘Notun Jevan’ released S

Director, Ajay Kumar with dignatories at the launching of the movie. (NP)

A

new Nagamese movie, “Notun Jevan”, meaning “New Life” was released on Wednesday at Conference Hall, Hotel Acacia, Dimapur.

Speaking at the programme as the chief guest, entrepreneur, Barun Mukherjee, acknowledged the director of the movie, Ajay Kumar for lending its best effort in trying to make Nagamese Movie Industry in Nagaland alive.

He further hoped that there would be many new movies directed by Kumar in the days to come, Managing Director,

NIIT, Ahay Sethi also lamented on the fact that Nagamese Movie Industry in Nagaland has been witnessing a far sighted approach and stating that it was not given due importance. He thanked Ajay Kumar for trying his best in keeping the industry alive, despite criticisms and lack of supports.

Sethi is of the opinion that if all of them are engaged in the same field of expertise, there would be a huge margin of loss, and further reiterated that they have to strive to flourish in every aspect of life, so that they can earn and make a

living by doing what they love and cherish.

Director of the movie, Ajay Kumar, in his speech informed that the movie took 3 months to complete and thanked his entire team for their tireless efforts in making the movie a success.

The movie is based on a story which reflects that working hard by having faith in God, would be successful in life.

The film was produced and directed by Ajay Kumar, wherein he took the role of the main hero and Asen Jamir as the heroine.

lash has confirmed that GUNS N’ ROSES will start work on a new music in the fall.

The guitarist had previously said that there was talk of GUNS putting new ideas together, but he was reluctant to say that fans could definitely expect to hear fresh material from the reunited group.

Explaining why he had been ambiguous with his comments in the past, Slash told Meltdown of Detroit’s 101 WRIF radio station (hear audio below): “The thing is, we haven’t really done anything yet, and I don’t like to say anything. You know how people used to promote shit and lie through their teeth? So I just wanted to be honest about it, and so there was really no telling what we were gonna do at that point.

But at this point, I do know that we are gonna do this run [of shows in the fall], and we’ve already started working on stuff.

So, there you go.”

Slash also said that he found it frustrating when a photo showing his guitar rig setup was circulated online, with Internet chatter suggesting he had been on the way to singer Axl Rose’s house to begin re-

cording new GN’R music.

“There was a rumor that I was over there, and it was before I had even been there,” Slash said. “So, I was, like, ‘Jesus Christ.’

And that’s just a pain in the ass and annoying.’ But I am excited about what we’ve got going on and everything, so it’s gonna be cool.”

Slash, who recently returned to the road with his solo band SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY & THE CONSPIRATORS, previously told BelfastLive that he had “no idea” what a new GUNS album would sound like. “I really couldn’t tell you,” he said. “It’s like anything else — you don’t know what it is until it’s done.”

GUNS N’ ROSES’ aforementioned festival shows — Louder Than Life, Austin City Limits and Exit 111 — will mark the band’s first live appearances since ending its reunion tour in December 2018.

GUNS N’ ROSES’ “Not In This Lifetime” tour began in April 2016, and after 159 shows in 41 countries, it played its last date at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii on December 8, 2018.

FRENCH OPEN: Nadal, Tsitsipas in 3rd round

Rafael Nadal

Paris, May 29 (AFP): Rafael Nadal continued the strong start to his bid for a record-extending 12th French Open title on Wednesday with a comfortable victory over German qualifier Yannick Maden, while Stefanos Tsitsipas had to dig deep to reach round three.

The 32-year-old Nadal was in near total control against world number 114 Maden bar some nervy moments in the third set, winning 6-1, 6-2, 6-4. The 17time Grand Slam champion will play Belgian 27th seed David Goffin in the last 32.

The Spaniard wasted little time in wrapping up the first two sets on Court Suzanne Lenglen.

Maden may have briefly allowed himself to dream of an outrageous upset when he twice broke to level at 3-3 and then 4-4 in the third set, but Nadal put him back in his place with two quick

games to seal the victory.

Nadal appears to be hitting form at just the right time, after following three consecutive semi-final defeats on clay with the Italian Open title before arriving in Paris.

He finished the match with 43 winners against just 23 unforced errors.

Greek star Tsitsipas did not have things all his own way against Bolivia’s Hugo Dellien on Court Simonne Mathieu but managed to grind out a 4-6, 6-0, 6-3, 7-5 victory.

The sixth seed, who beat Roger Federer en route to the Australian Open semi-finals earlier this year, will take on either Spaniard Roberto Carballes Baena or Serbia’s Filip Krajinovic in his maiden appearance in the third round.

The 20-year-old started strongly with an early break but appeared unsettled fol-

lowing a medical timeout for Dellien after the world number 86 appeared to twist his ankle.

Dellien quickly sealed the opening set, but Tsitsipas raced through the next two sets and seemingly towards victory.

Despite letting a 4-2 lead in the fourth set slip, the 25-year-old Dellien just would not go away, saving three match points from 0-40 down in the 10th game to level at 5-5. But Tsitsipas did secure the win in his opponent’s next service game, curling a forehand up the line on his fourth match point. Meanwhile, Ukrainian Elina Svitolina will face 2016 champion Garbine Muguruza in the women’s third round after the ninth seed’s compatriot Kateryna Kozlova pulled out of the tournament before their match with a viral infection.

Pak awarded Asia Cup; set to be held at neutral venue New Delhi, May 29 (PTI): The next edition of the Asia Cup could also be UAE-bound with Pakistan given the hosting rights of the tournament in 2020, as organising it in its own country will cast serious doubts on India’s participation owing to diplomatic tensions.

The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) in its meeting in Singapore on Tuesday awarded the continental meet, to be held in T20 format, to Pakistan, which will most likely organise it in the neutral venues of the United Arab Emirates, its cricket team’s ‘home’ since the 2009 terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan team bus.

The tournament will be held in September ahead of the World T20 in Australia. Diplomatic tensions with neighbours Pakistan forced India to host the last Asia Cup in the UAE. “Pakistan told the delegates at the ACC meeting held in Singapore that they would host the Asia Cup at home but a final decision on the venue would be taken after consultation with other members of the ACC and keeping in mind the prevailing security and political situation around that time in Pakistan,” a PCB source said.

He said if conditions were not conducive to have the Asia Cup in Pakistan, the PCB would host it at a neutral venue.

Washington, May 29 (Agencies): Real Madrid has been named the most valuable football club in Europe, according to financial consultancy KPMG, overtaking Manchester United.

Based on “enterprise value,” the Spanish giant is worth $3.67 billion, with Manchester United ($3.65bn) falling to second and Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich ($3.07bn) rising to third.

The report is based on the 2016-17 and 2017-18 seasons -- when Real won the Champions League -and takes into account profitability, broadcasting rights, popularity, sporting potential and stadium value.

On the field, Real Madrid has endured a testing season after finishing third in La Liga and exiting the Champions League before the quarterfinal stage. EPL clubs dominate football’s rich list with nine clubs in the top 32. The EPL also accounts for 43% of the total aggregate value.

Manchester City ($2.8bn), Chelsea ($2.5bn), Liverpool ($2.3bn), Arsenal ($2.28bn) and Tottenham ($1.91bn) occupy fifth to ninth respectively. Barcelona ($3.05bn) is fourth and Italian champion Juventus ($1.76bn) 10th.

out to Wilder to see if I can have a sit-down in person,” Joshua told BBC Sport.

The Briton added: “What people say on camera is different to what people say eye to eye. So I have to sit down with him man-to-man and see where he’s at.”

Wilder has won 41 of his 42 fights, the other being a controversial draw with Britain’s Tyson Fury in December. He beat Ortiz via a 10th-round knockout in their first fight in March 2018 and announced their rematch on Twitter.
