Media report on NRC procedure disturbing, says Supreme Court NEW DELHI, MAY 30 (PTI): In the backdrop of reports that a decorated former army officer has been declared a foreigner by a tribunal in Assam, the Supreme Court on Thursday asked the NRC state coordinator to ensure that fair procedure is adopted in dealing with the claims and objections on inclusion of citizens in the draft National Register of Citizens (NRC).

A vacation bench comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice Aniruddha Bose, without referring to any specific matter, said “disturbing” reports have emerged in the media regarding procedure to deal with claims and objections.

According to Assam police, Mohammad Sanaullah, a former army officer who had won a President’s medal, was apprehended on Wednesday and sent to a detention camp in after a foreigners’ tribunal declared him a ‘foreigner’.

Family members of Sanaullah, a resident of Kolohikash village in Kamrup district, have said they will approach the Gauhati High Court against the tri-

bunal’s order. “There are very disturbing reports in the media. The media is not always correct but sometimes media is right also,” the apex court bench told state NRC coordinator Prateek Hajela.

The apex court observed this while hearing the Assam NRC matter.

Sanaullah is now serving as assistant sub-inspector (ASI) in border police.

A case was registered in 2008 after Sanaullah’s name was listed as a ‘D’ (doubtful) voter in the voters list, according to Kamrup district Additional Superintendent of Police Sanjib Saikia.

After the verdict of the tribunal, Saikia said police according to laid down procedure, picked up Sanaullah

and took him to the detention camp in Goalpara district to be lodged there.

Before proceeding to the camp, Sanaullah told waiting journalists that he is an Indian citizen and has all the necessary documents of his citizenship. He said he served the country’s interests for 30 years (1987-2017), joining the force as an official of Electronic and Mechanical Engineering department and was also awarded with President’s Medal in 2014.

Congress on Thursday hit out at the BJP government over the issue, saying it shows the “high-handedness and flawed manner” in which the NRC exercise is being implemented in the North Eastern state.

22 NPF Mon division office- JD (U) not joining bearers join ruling NDPP Modi govt: Varma D I M A P U R , M AY 3 0 (NPN): In yet another setback toNPF, 22 office-bearers of its Mon division have resigned from both active and primary membership of the party on Thursday and joined NDPP. In a letter addressed to NPF president Dr Shürhozelie Liezietsu, the office-bearers said they had waited for over a month for a response to their declaration of non co-operation and action against Mon division president and general secretary.

They said that since the party leadership failed to respond to their request, under the circumstances, they were left with no option but to resign from active and primary membership of NPF and join NDPP under the

leadership of Chingwang Konyak and chief minister Neiphiu Rio. The 22 office-bearers who resigned included-senior vice president CH Yanboh, VPs-- Longshah, Menlei and Langphong, secretaries-- Yati, Yeangshong; youth wing president Khongwang, youth wing vice president Temlei, youth wing secretary Wangting, women’s wing president Menching, women’s wing VPs-- Tangam and Yahoi, women’s wing secretary Ngipsho, women’s wing adviser Pheangmeth, farmers’ wing president Mennyei, farmers’ wing VP Nahlem, farmers’ wing secretaries-Enyei, Manje and Chingkap, divisional VP Nokho and advisers Hoka and Wanlong.

NEW DELHI, MAY 30 (PTI): BJP ally JD(U) will not join the new Narendra Modi government, its spokesperson Pavan Varma said on Thursday, in what appears to be a sign of differences with the saffron party over the number of ministerial berths offered to it.

“We are not joining the government. This is our decision,” Varma, who is also the general secretary of the JD(U), told PTI. The BJP was offering one cabinet berth to the JD(U) and sources said the regional party was also unhappy with the portfolio offered to it.

The JD(U), which is headed

by Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, was not a part of the first Modi government as well.

LOU irked by statement over compensation issue DIMAPUR, MAY 30 (NPN): Land Owners’ Union (LOU) NH-29 (Purana BazaarChümoükedima) expressed dismay over how certain individuals and organisations viewed the compensation issue as a very “unreasonable demand”.

In a press release LOU president K Vishepu Assumi and general secretary Vichosel Rhutso, said the union wanted to know whether it was for the first time that landowners raised the issue of compensation, and whether the landowners of entire Nagaland also forfeited the compensation issue. Demanding to know what was “so gross” in seeking compensation when the landowners involved were willing to ac-

commodate the government’s requirement by moving out of their comfort zone, LOU wanted to know whether the words “rehabilitation, displacement and resettlement” ever made sense to such individuals and organisations?.

LOU also said those individuals who were most vocal on the issue ought to think twice before “blabbering”, if it involved their plots. The union further expressed dismay on how “certain vested individuals and organisations” talk of magnanimity, benignity and renunciation, without considering the plight of the landowners involved. LOU pointed out that the affected landowners also included a widow.

NDPP fetes Modi on assuming office D I M A P U R , M AY 3 0 (NPN): Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) has congratulated India’s 15th Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his council of ministers on taking the oath of office and secrecy administered by President of India Ram Nath Kovind at Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi on Wednesday.

NDPP media & communication cell in the release said the party joined the nation in celebrating the huge mandate given by the

people of India to the Modi government for the second consecutive time.

As an alliance partner of the NDA and NEDA, it said the NDPP-led PDA government in Nagaland looked forward to the world’s largest democracy evolving into a recognized power in the international arena under the dynamic leadership of the Prime Minister on the foundation of a “secular, democratic, republic” which made India a great nation.

NDPP reaffirmed the

fullest cooperation from NDPP and the PDA government in striving towards “our common goals of nation building and improving the welfare of the people”.

The ruling alliance also assured Modi of its total support towards “ realising genuine peace through a political solution that is honourable and acceptable to the people.” NDPP prayed to God to bless the new government under the leadership of Modi with wisdom in leading India.

“Article 371 a, Constitution of India”, wherein he poured out that Article 371 A was not just a constitutional provision which made a special provision with respect to the state of Nagaland to protect the Nagas but a political and constitution as well which was the result of political agreement between the Nagas and the Indian leaders.

Tarun Gogoi (File)

GUWAHATI, MAY 30 (ANI): Assam’s former chief minister and Congress chief Tarun Gogoi said that the party president Rahil Gandhi is sticking to his decision to resign from the post.

While speaking to ANI, Gogoi said, “We want Rahul Gandhi to continue as Congress president. But he is insisting that he will not continue as party president anymore. All members of the working committee are unanimously saying that we will not accept Rahul’s resignation. We asked him to withdraw his resignation but he did not do it.”

“In a democracy, a strong opposition is needed.

Who will become a strong opposition? There is only one party Congress and Rahul Gandhi has the capability to lead the party with his pan-India image,” he said.

The Congress leader said that Rahul has stated that he will help the next party president.

“Rahul said he will continue till next president is chosen…He said he will fight the ideological battle with Bharatiya Janata Party and (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi. He said that he will help the next Congress

Delhi Police nab inter-state criminal from Manipur N E W D E L H I , M AY 30 (AGENCIES): Close on the heels of the news about Delhi police arresting a gangster from Uttar Pradesh who claimed to have visited Nagaland recently to plot the murder of a politician after the Lok Sabha elections, comes the arrest of another inter-state criminal operating in Uttar Pradesh and Delhi from Manipur, The Wire report stated.

Vijay Farmana, who hailed from Haryana and was involved in at least 11 murders and one rape case besides several other criminal offences, was arrested from Lucknow

by Delhi police this past May 15. He reportedly claimed during interrogation that he had also visited Nagaland to plot the murder of a politician in the Northeast after the general elections.

Upon being contacted, a team of Nagaland police arrived in Delhi to procure more information. Meanwhile, rumours spread that the contract killer was hired to kill a Naga politician, creating a flutter in the state.

Soon, the Nagaland police clarified that the contract was meant for Arunachal Pradesh. Though after the elections, a politician was killed in Arunachal, it is suspected to have been carried out by the armed outfit NSCN. On May 28, a Delhi police team nabbed yet another gangster carrying an award of over one lakh and wanted in over 30

criminal cases registered in UP and Delhi. This time, the arrest was made in Manipur capital Imphal by a Delhi Police team.

News reports quoting DCP (Crime) Pramod Kushwaha said the team acted on a tip-off that the absconding gangster, Rizwan, was planning a strike in Delhi’s Trans-Yamuna area. After receiving information about his hideout in Manipur, a team was sent to Manipur.

Rizwan, wanted in a couple of murder cases apart from other criminal offences, took shelter in Manipur. There he reportedly befriended a local Muslim woman and married her. The couple has two children. News reports said he would regularly fly to Delhi, commit crimes and return to Imphal.

News about petty and middle-rung gangsters of North India operating in and from the North East is relatively new.

president,” according to Tarun Gogoi.

On May 25, Rahul had offered to step down from the post at the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting, taking moral responsibility for the party’s dismal performance in the Lok Sabha elections.

His resignation was rejected “unanimously” by the Congress Working Committee members who authorised him to do a complete overhaul and restructuring of the party at every level.

The Congress president, who won the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat, lost to Bharatiya Janata Party’s Smriti Irani from Amethi parliamentary constituency which was considered a stronghold of the party.

Smriti Irani had won from Amethi with over 55,000 votes, defeating Rahul Gandhi, its three-time MP. She destroyed the Congress bastion and scored one of the biggest upset of these elections.

Correspondent IMPHAL, May 30: Nonteaching staffs of Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Imphal staged a sit-in-protest in front of the administrative block of the hospital on Thursday. The protest was staged under the aegis of the Non-Teaching Employees Welfare Association of RIMS. The striking non-teaching staffs displayed placards that read; “Go back Dr A Shanta”, the director of RIMS. The striking employees of the hospital also demanded implementation of the children education allowance as recommended by the 7th Pay Commission and timely conduct of DPC for promotion of the non-teaching cadre of the institute.

Other demands included filling of the vacant post such as stenographer-III, LDC, Lab Assistance MSW, inclusion of cadre review of the non–teaching staffs as the main agenda in the executive council meeting and die-in harness appointment to the kin of the nonteaching staff.

A I Z AW L , M A Y 3 0 (AGENCIES): While the world seems to be covered by a cloud of hypocrisy and malevolence, an act of kindness has once again lit it up.

Restoring faith in compassion and empathy, an Indian Australian man has come to the aid of two poor students from Mizoram in the remote northeastern part of India, reports East Mojo.

The philanthropist, who chose to remain anonymous, has donated a sum of Rs 20,000 each to two bright students -- Lalrinnungi, a vegetable seller’s daughter from Sihphir’s Neihbawi village near Aizawl, and Given Lawmnakima Thiak, a farmer’s boy from Bilkhawthlir village in Kolasib district. Both of them achieved distinction in the recently-declared Class X board exams results.

Incidentally, the Good Samaritan happened to read the hurdle-laden success stories of the two students earlier this month on EastMojo.

Going through the reports, the Sydney-based

engineer decided to help the pupils get a better education, given the fact that they are already bright and hardworking, and some help could get them a shot at better education and life.

The philanthropist informed EastMojo’s correspondent about his willingness to help them, and turning his word into reality, he transferred Rs 20,000 each for the two students, to the reporter’s bank account and asked for his help to deliver the gift.

The gift was handed over to the two children in the presence of their parents and St Joseph Higher Secondary School’s principal C Laltlansanga by Mizoram Journalists’ Association (MJA), an umbrella body of all working journalists in the state to which the reporter belongs. Asked why

he found interest in helping the poor children, the Indian Australian philanthropist said he wanted to simply help people, especially the poor children, as he himself was brought up by his poor parents, who were farmers.

Originally hailing from Chennai, the kind-hearted person has been living in Sydney for over 35 years along with his wife and a son, who is already married.

This is not the first instance when the Good Samaritan has helped deserving children get good education. He has also sponsored the education of many school children from Nepal and India till their graduation.

As reported earlier, 16year-old girl Lalrinnnungi, whose parents earn a living out of selling vegetables on

tract non-teaching staffs at par with that of RIPAN and uniformed allowance for Grade –IV staffs of the institute were also included in the demands.

Talking to reporters, general secretary Thiyam Babu of Non-Teaching Employees Welfare Association of RIMS said that the sit-inprotest was staged after the director failed to translate a verbal assurance given by the director three years ago into work.

The director had given the assurance responding to a memorandum submitted by the association on December 5, 2016, he reminded. Babu further blamed the director for not implementing another charter of demand of the association submitted on December 26, 2018 for release of staff salary on or before 5 of every month.

The non-teaching staffs will not roll back from their demand and will intensify the stir if the director fails to address the demands, the general secretary said.

The general secretary further blamed the director saying that he (director) was misleading the striking nonteaching staffs while react-

ing to a statement given by the director to a press conference which was held while the sit-in-protest staged by the non-teaching staffs was in progress.

“The director’s office has misled the demand of the non-teaching employees,” Babu said.

He said, issues that they put up were many and the director’s office made a statement only justify the delay in the recruitment of the multi-tasking staffs.

“It was only a part of the demand which we felt that the director’s office is trying to mislead the agitating staffs by mentioning only about the recruitment” he added. At the press conference held at the office of the director, deputy director Kaikam Dougel termed the demand of the non-teaching staffs as “not reasonable”, stating that there were certain procedural guidelines which need to be followed to the recruitment.

“Due to the enforcement of the election model code of conduct and a recent interim court order, holding of the recruitment of the 130 multi-tasking staff was being delayed”, the deputy director clarified.

He alleged that the incident in which Thongram threatened the villager posing as police personnel was related to the case.

Similar incident of threatening the villagers had happened earlier too.

However, villagers had failed to detain the person who came to threaten the villagers in the earlier incident, the secretary added.

Navy to get new chief

Vice Admiral Atul Kumar Jain takes over as the Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief Eastern Naval Command (ENC) from Vice Admiral Karambir Singh, in Visakhapatnam, Thursday. (PTI)

NEW DELHI, MAY 30 (IANS): After serving for more than four decades, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Sunil Lanba will pass on the baton to Vice Admiral Karambir Singh, who will take over as the Navy chief at a ceremony in South Block on Friday.

The switch-over is taking place in the backdrop of a succession row triggered by Andaman and Nicobar command chief Bimal Verma challenging the appointment of Karambir Singh as the new chief.

Verma’s plea against overlooking him for the

top post despite being the senior-most officer is pending in the Armed Forces Tribunal (AFT) though the Defence Ministry has rejected his objection.

AFT on Wednesday allowed Karambir Singh to take over till a decision on the petition comes.

Lanba’s retirement has led to changes at the top of the defence establishment.

Vice Admiral Atul Kumar Jain took over as the eastern fleet commander from Karambir Singh.

Air Chief B.S. Dhanoa replaced Lanba as Chairman of Chiefs of Staff

Committee (COSC), a triservice integrated body.

An alumnus of the National Defence Academy, Khadakwasla; Defence Services Staff College, Wellington; College of Defence Management, Secunderabad; and Royal College of Defence Studies, London, Admiral Lanba’s career was enriched with vast experience at sea as well as in operational, training and tri-services appointments, said a Defence Ministry statement.

During his tenure as the Navy chief, Admiral Lanba set the tone for several transitions in operational, training and organisational philosophy of the Indian Navy.

The Mission Based Deployments, introduced in June 2017, transformed the operational philosophy to deploying mission-ready ships and aircraft along critical sea lanes of communications and choke points. During the Admiral’s tenure, the Indian Navy’s foreign cooperation initiatives became a ‘key driver’ to propel ‘India’s defence diplomacy’ to greater heights in the Indo-Pacific.

Maharashtra Congress urges Rahul to withdraw resignation

MUMBAI, MAY 30 (PTI): The Maharashtra Congress Thursday urged party chief Rahul Gandhi to withdraw his resignation, tendered in the backdrop of the Lok Sabha poll results, and continue to lead the organisation in its ideological battle.

The state unit of the opposition party made the appeal to Gandhi through a resolution passed unanimously at a meeting here.

The resolution was proposed by Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) president Ashok Chavan and the party’s Mumbai unit chief, Milind Deora, both of whom lost the just-concluded Lok Sabha polls from Nanded and Mumbai South, respectively. It asked state leaders to take responsibility for the Congress’s poll debacle. The 133-year-old party won just one seat in Maharashtra, which has 48 Lok Sabha constituencies.

Gandhi had offered to resign during the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting in Delhi last week after the party’s debacle in the general elections. However, the highest decisionmaking body of the party had unanimously rejected

his resignation and urged him to continue as party president. The MPCC resolution said the Lok Sabha results, which saw the Congress winning just 52 seats, were very shocking and disappointing.

“The Congress president campaigned tirelessly in the entire country and in fact it is time for the state leaders to introspect and take responsibility for this debacle,” it said. The MPCC said there are crores of electors who voted for the Congress and believe in Gandhi’s leadership.

“They will be disappointed with the decision of Rahulji to quit as party chief. Under the prevailing political situation, all leaders and workers of the Congress party need guidance and leadership of Rahul Gandhi,” it said.

The Maharashtra and Mumbai unit of the Congress also endorsed the CWC decision on May 25, which unanimously called upon Gandhi to lead the party in its ideological battle and champion the cause of youths, farmers, minorities, SC/ST/OBCs, poor and deprived sections of the society.

Suspected honour killing: woman shot dead in UP Bareilly (UP), May 30 (PTI): A 19-year-old woman was killed and her husband seriously injured on Thursday in a suspected case of ‘honour killing’ in Uttar Pradesh’s Bareilly district, police said.

The incident took place in Bareilly’s Karua Sahebganj village under Kyoladiya police station area, they said.

The woman’s brother, Gulsher, allegedly shot at the couple this morning.

Mohini died on the spot, while her husband, Ram Kishore Baretha, was seriously injured and rushed to a hospital, the police said.

Mohini and Ram got married in April 2018 against the wishes of their families. They had left the village after their marriage but returned later, they said.

An FIR has been registered against Gulsher and efforts are on to arrest him, Superintendent of Police (rural) Sansar Singh said.

Mohini’s body has been sent for a postmortem examination, he said.

5 Will cooperate with agencies till my name is cleared: Vadra

NEW DELHI, MAY 30 (IANS): Robert Vadra, brother-in-law of Congress President Rahul Gandhi, on Thursday appeared before the Enforcement Directorate regarding a case of money laundering and said he will cooperate with investigative agencies until he is declared innocent. Before appearing at the ED office in central Delhi, Vadra wrote on his Facebook: “I have always maintained faith in the judiciary system of the country.

I have always followed the summons and notices sent to me by the government offices.

“Till date I have appeared before the ED and cooperated with them for 11 times and have been questioned for over 70 hours.

In future also I shall keep on cooperating them till the time my name is cleared from the false allegations,” he said. He attached a picture of himself with that of first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nahru, who is the great grandfather of his wife Priyanka Gandhi.

Vadra arrived at the ED office in the morning and went inside directly without speaking to the media persons. His wife Priyanka

Gandhi accompanied him to the office. Vadra had appeared before the ED in February for the first time along with his wife.

Vadra was issued fresh summons by the agency after claiming they had got new evidence in the money laundering case. The case relates to the ownership of 1.9 million pounds of overseas assets and undisclosed entities set up to evade tax.

Earlier, the ED had confronted Vadra with the emails he exchanged with the relative of arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari and Sumit Chadha.

The ED has also asked for the details of the bank accounts and transaction reports of Vadra. The agency has also collected the details of his properties in India and abroad.

ED to take over AJL land in P’kula Mumbai Police crime branch to probe doctor’s suicide case New Delhi, May 29 (AGENCIES): The Enforcement Directorate would soon take possession of a land worth Rs 64.93 crore at Sector 6 in Panchkula, Haryana, allotted to the Congress-promoted Associated Journals Limited (AJL) by then Bhupinder Singh Hooda government in 2005.

Approving the ED’s provisional attachment order, the adjudicating authority under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), in an order, recently ruled that Hooda “made unfair gains while allotting a plot in Panchkula to Associated Journals Ltd”.

In an official release, the ED said: “The adjudicating authority of PMLA, New Delhi, has held that the defendants have committed the schedule offence,

generated proceeds of crime.

It has further found that the properties attached are proceeds of crime beyond any doubt and thereby ordered for confirmation of the provisional attachment order.”

The ED issued provisional attachment order against the said property in December last year.

This plot was initially allotted to AJL in 1982.

However, it was taken back by the then Estate Officer, HUDA, through an order on October 30, 1992, as AJL did not comply with the conditions of allotment letter. The resumption or-

der attained finality after dismissal of the revision petition in 1996.

“However, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, the then Haryana CM, blatantly misused his official position and dishonestly allotted the said plot afresh in the guise of re-allotment to the AJL at original rates plus interest in violation of necessary conditions… the then CM caused wrongful loss to HUDA and wrongful gain to AJL by ignoring legal opinion,” the ED said in its release.

“Bhupinder Singh Hooda did not stop here but further favoured AJL by illegally granting them three undue extensions for construction on plot from May 1, 2008, to May 10, 2012, until AJL completed the construction in 2014,” it further said.

MUMBAI, MAY 30 (PTI): Mumbai Police crime branch will now probe the alleged suicide committed by doctor Payal Tadvi after some of her senior colleagues passed casteist slurs at her at a staterun hospital here, an official said Thursday.

Considering the seriousness and importance of the case, the investigation has been transferred to the crime branch, Deputy Commissioner of Police Manjunath Singte said.

Tadvi’s lawyer Nitin Satpute said the decision came after they demanded that the case be transferred to the CBI or the crime branch as they felt it was not properly investigated by

the Agripada police here.

“Wesuspect it to be a case of murder, but the police have not conducted the investigation properly, hence we wanted the case to be transferred to some other probing agency,” Satpute said.

Three women doctors - Bhakti Mehere, Hema Ahuja and Ankita Khandelwal - were earlier arrested after their 26-year -old ju-

nior colleague Tadvi at the B Y L Nair Hospital here allegedly hanged herself at her hostel room last week, according to the police.

Tadvi’s family alleged that the doctors taunted her by ragging and hurling casteist abuses as she belonged to a Scheduled Tribe.

Quixotic politician

W

hile there is unending celebration and jubilation in the BJP and the NDA camps, in sharp contrast, there is gloom and doom in the Grand Old Party after its second disastrous defeat at the hands of the BJP. The second successive defeat has led Congress president Rahul Gandhi to read the writing on the wall and offered to resign and indicated that he will stand firm with the decision. Most of the PCC presidents where the party was washed out or fared very badly had resigned, owning moral responsibility. So it was left to Rahul to take the call in practising what he had preached. In 2014 when Rahul was the vicepresident of the Congress, Sonia propped him up to lead the campaign but failed pretty miserably as the Congress was decimated to only 44 seats from 206 it had won in 2009. Five years of ‘relaunches’ later the Rahul Gandhi as the party chief, has presided over yet another humiliating loss with the party winning only 52 seats. When other state party chiefs were expected to resign, how could Rahul be absolved of shouldering a major part of the blame? In his hour of inglorious defeat, Rahul must not be allowed to play the victimhood card.

This was his election, he selected the generals, he devised the strategy, he chose the candidates, he built the narrative and he must now own up for his failures. That is why it is important not to feel sorry for Rahul in his newest avatar as the ‘tragic hero’. Rahul ran a vituperative campaign, pulled down the discourse with his untrammeled hatred against the prime minister and spread a web of unfounded allegations around the Rafale fighter jet deal that he himself got sucked into. In the light of Rahul’s rigid stand to resign, senior party leadership has put up some options including a presidium of leaders running the party’s dayto-day affairs. However, according to Congress sources, the party constitution does not provide for a presidium. This suggestion will require an amendment of the party constitution which could be done only at its plenary session. The Congress has always been a party of the Nehru-Gandhi family and without either of them at the helm, it cannot hold together. Attacks on the Congress as being a dynastic party has also made Rahul has gone to the extent of asking the party leaders to choose a non-Gandhi at the next AICC president. The paradox is that Congress remains in fear of a split unless a Gandhi sits on top and yet it shall be run aground precisely because a Gandhi sits on top.

The first step towards a redemption, therefore, for the Congress is to acknowledge and internalise that this disaster is of Rahul’s own making. This is easier said than done for a family enterprise.

No amount of deflection from this truth may work.

If the Congress tries to shield Rahul because of the TINA(There Is No Alternative) effect, then, the paradox quoted above will eventually obliterate the party. Rahul may have been handed a second humiliating drubbing by his adversary, but in politics it is just another day. He has age on his side but needs to resign to undergo a massive and thorough re-education if he is to prove that he is a comeback fighter.

DailyDevotion Yes—But…!

Lord, I will follow You, but... —Luke 9:61 Suppose God tells you to do something that is an enormous test of your common sense, totally going against it. What will you do? Will you hold back? If you get into the habit of doing something physically, you will do it every time you are tested until you break the habit through sheer determination. And the same is true spiritually. Again and again you will come right up to what Jesus wants, but every time you will turn back at the true point of testing, until you are determined to abandon yourself to God in total surrender. Yet we tend to say, “Yes, but— suppose I do obey God in this matter, what about…?” Or we say, “Yes, I will obey God if what He asks of me doesn’t go against my common sense, but don’t ask me to take a step in the dark.”

Jesus Christ demands the same unrestrained, adventurous spirit in those who have placed their trust in Him that the natural man exhibits. If a person is ever going to do anything worthwhile, there will be times when he must risk everything by his leap in the dark. In the spiritual realm, Jesus Christ demands that you risk everything you hold on to or believe through common sense, and leap by faith into what He says. Once you obey, you will immediately find that what He says is as solidly consistent as common sense.

By the test of common sense, Jesus Christ’s statements may seem mad, but when you test them by the trial of faith, your findings will fill your spirit with the awesome fact that they are the very words of God. Trust completely in God, and when He brings you to a new opportunity of adventure, offering it to you, see that you take it. We act like pagans in a crisis— only one out of an entire crowd is daring enough to invest his faith in the character of God.

The Purhu (Clan) Politics in Konyak Naga

T

he article aims to indicate the important role of Purhu (Clan) in politics among the Konyak Naga people. It further elaborates the strong inseparable connection between Purhu (clan) and politics that leads to developing majority political party. The primary strategy for any political candidates to ascertain more votes is to win leaders of Purhu.

Each Purhu consist households of 400 above and winning these households repercussions to earning more members and votes for a well play game political leader.

In Gaelic (Northern group of Celtic languages) Clan (Purhu) means children of offspring, descendent or tribe (Campbell. 2000), similarly, in Konyak, Purhu refers to same group of family blood line, historically and culturally that defers from other groups of family.

The disparity among each group of people as one family carries the most significant meaning in many ways. Among the Konyaks, Purhu (clan) plays primary role in marriage system. Names of the Purhus among the Konyaks are Salim, Wanglim, Jolim, Laolim, Maylim, Chonglim, Pongsihlrhu, Wangnaolim, and so on. Each Purhu has similar rules in marriage culture. Purhu provides the identity of selecting marriageable partners from another Purhu. Some Purhus are deeply connected to each other that they share the relationship very closed than the relationship with any others. Most importantly, no marriage is permissible for people from the same Purhu which is also known as exogamous-social norm of marrying outside one’s social group (Inden. 1976). People of the same Phuru are found in different villages.

Regardless of differences in villages and locations, the sense of belonging as one family member or of the same offspring, remains very strong that keeps them united. Murguia, a Mexican scholar delineates that people of the same clan are united by the same name and the surname

N

candidates and the people from the Purhus. It creates the history of either breaking or building long term relationship, more specifically, between the Purhu of the candidates and the Purhus of the supporters, if the candidates betray or fail to fulfill the agreement. This history of relationship effects the generations of grandchildren either to divide or unite them in the society. If the agreements are fulfilled, there is hope of glory in sustainable victory of politics in every election. Some usual agreements that are made between the candidates and the Purhus’ people are such as designating Personal Secretaries, jobs sanctions, contract works, and Assembly Constituency party leaders and so on.

Purhu ties (Clan ties) become more active during election. As Collin’s “Clan Politics” elaborates that, elders of Clan/Purhu are selected to convince for the support of the entire Purhu members (Collin. 2006), the politicians convincingly approach leaders/elders of Purhus for their support. Subsequently, Purhu leaders mobilize the members and if they agree, politicians would convent party meeting with them and mark the meeting as the sign of agreement between the politicians and the Purhu for the political journey together.

This Purhu politics has become the strong and effective political strategy for politicians to pave a way for the hope of winning election. Hence, in the context of politics in Konyak, one has to build a good and strong relationship with leader/elders and individuals of the predominant Purhus. Purhu-Politics in one way creates time saving, easy method of reaching more people, building larger team and assurance of winning election. Though money plays additional powerful role in earning more votes, it requires Purhu which creates a good political market for good investment and fruitful revenues.

very year 31st May is observed as “World no Tobacco Day “throughout the world under the banner of World Health Organisation. This event is an opportunity to raise awareness about the deadly effects of tobacco use and to discourage the use of tobacco in any form. The WHO has chosen the theme “Tobacco and lung health” for WNTD 2019. The main objective is to create awareness about the negative impact of smoking and second hand smoke (SHS) on our lungs from cancer to chronic respiratory diseases.

In the last few years smoking has been on decline in Nagaland unlike smokeless tobacco which is on the rise.

But the reality is that many smokers are not fully aware of the consequences of their habits and they are least aware that their action is harming their loved ones and other non- smokers. Both smokers and second hand smokers can suffer from the following common lung diseasesLung cancer – Smoking is responsible for two third of lug cancer cases while not denying the role increasing environmental pollution. In India lung cancer accounts for 6.9 per cent of all new cancer cases and 9.3 per cent of all cancer deaths. To reduce the disease burden of lung cancer we need to bring down the prevalence rate of smoking.

Chronic respirator y diseases -Smoking/SHS are the main causes of Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis. The risk of developing COPD is more in Individual who started to smoke at an earlier age as smoking significantly

slow the lung development.

COPD cases are increasing every year and India has now 55.3 million cases. It is not only a major of deaths but it is also major cause of loss of productivity and quality of life. Smoking /SHS can also exacerbate asthma and it can lead to frequent lower respiratory Infection in children.

Smoking and Tuberculosis - The association between smoking and TB is well known. Smoking increases the chance of TB infection from latent TB, reduces the efficacy of TB treatments and also increases the chance of relapse after completion of treatment. Eradication of TB by 2025 may be difficult unless we bring down the prevalence of smoking in India.

The call for action- In spite of the descending trend of smoking in Nagaland there are still some alarming pictures due the following facts.

68 per cent of people are exposed to SHS in their homes where parents or somebody smokes.22 per cent who visit public places are exposed to SHS and 27 per cent of the people are still exposed to SHS in their work places including government offices. So, there is a need to upscale the awareness and enforcement activities. There is already a law which bans smoking in public places but it is still not strictly enforced even in government office. The need of the hour is political and administrative will to enforce the tobacco control law and sustained awareness by the concerned departments, Church and NGOs. Let’s put our efforts together and make our state a healthier place to live.

Plight of domestic workers remains the same

agaland has come a long way since it attained statehood.

Literacy rate of the state has increased significantly and the standard of living of many people has improved drastically over the last few decades but the ever-widening income disparity, especially between those from the urban and rural areas has led to new social and economic problems. The haves, who usually live in cities and towns, lead a comfortable life while the have-nots, who form the majority of the population and usually live in the villages, continue to struggle to get the basic necessities of life. This growing gap has caused a steep rise in the number of domestic workers, and today, many will find difficult to run their families without them.

National Domestic Workers’ Movement (NDWM) - Nagaland Region has been at the forefront of championing the rights of domestic workers for more than a decade in Nagaland and in the country more than three decades with its origin in Dindigal, Tamil Nadu in 1985 by a Belgium Nun (Religious Sister) Rev. Sr. Jane Devos.

The unofficial estimates of Domestic workers are more than the official estimate.

T

(Murguia. 2002). Similarly, Purhu in Konyak area is easily identified through same name living in different villages and communities and they are kept united.

The extension of strong bond grows when inter-Purhu marriage takes place. I called this bond extension as Purhu-in-Law (Clan-in-Law).

The development of inter-Purhu marriage strengthens the supports from the Puhru-in-Law in various aspects as a sign of building closed relationship or connection between the two Purhu through the interPurhu marriage. The Purhu-in-Law maintains the dignity among the family members through property sharing, way of approaches to one another, and most importantly, creates the history of relationship building for generations.

How does this Purhu contribute toward developing majority votes in politics? In Purhu-politics, the Purhu identity of candidates creates wider space for people from different Purhus to engage in politics. If the Purhu of the candidates has history of good relationship in war fare, inter-Purhu marriage, and helping hand and so on, it engenders the invitation of more votes. However, the current social fragmentation has created the relegation of such strong relationship among inter-Purhus.

Nevertheless, there is possibility to strengthen the strong relationship if candidates play promising politics to each Purhu according to the demands of the people of the Purhus.

Based on the contextual needs of the people from different Purhus, candidates play the politics of identifying larger Purhus that have more households and the inter-Purhus relationship, which inevitably becomes the play maker of politics.

For candidates, winning the hearts of the predominant Purhus to extend their supports in election, is winning the first phase of election. However, Purhu-Politics is a risky long term commitment politics between the

Girls and women make up the significant majority of domestic workers, the recent study done by the NDWM-Nagaland Region only 42% of the total participants are the locals and the rest 58% of them are migrants, though there will be more locals but they do not want to disclose that they are domestic workers, the domestic workers who comprise the age group of 35 to 59 are more than 72% out of the total number of registered under NDWM- Nagaland Region; almost 33% from the total participant has experienced working as a domestic worker for 6 to 10 years another 13% of them have worked for 16to 20 years. There are only 48% who work either full-part, part-time, or in multiple employers house who earn only 3000/- per month, out of which more than 50% of them work in 2-3 houses in a day. Almost 82% of them are paid monthly which really affects the daily living condition of the domestic workers. Since the domestic worker is not registered under the schedule of employment their work is not regarded as work due to which there is the absence of a proper employer employee contract. In Nagaland almost every household has a do-

mestic worker and every day there is an increase in the number of Domestic Workers because it is easily available la Nagaland till date 1900 people have registered with NDWM and the All Nagaland Domestic Workers’ Union (ANDWU) but there are hundreds of unregistered workforce as the concept isrelatively new. besides most of them are illiterate and ignorant of their basic rights. And many of allow them to attend and to know the things because of the fear that the domestic workers learn their rights and ask for their rights and ask for their rights. The recent report of a minor girt, who as a domestic helper, being reportedly assaulted by her Kohima-based employers and the domestic worker who jumped from the building in Dimapur is only a tip of the iceberg which came in to light there are many instances where domestic workers have faced such situations but have gone unreported. The sad thing is that many migrants make use of the Local Naga people to threaten, beat and abuse them for they are illiterate and do not know how to follow the proper procedure of the legal laws for instances filing an FIR, applying for free medical and through district hospital or

applying for free legal and services through District Legal Services Authority.

The recent incident which was brought to our notice

by Rita(name changed) a widow who after washing her pots then threw the water on the fence, which happened on 29* of May 2019 in the morning, but the neighboring couple waited for her till afternoon to return back from her work. As Rita returned from work and as she proceeded went to fetch water in the afternoon the wife of the couple approached her and began to verbally abusing her leading to physical contact by both parties which later turn in to abuse for Rita as the husband also started to physically harm her instead of bring both the parties to a mutual understanding. When the Domestic Worker came to the NDWM office to complaint and asked how to go about with the situation the organization reached the spot, the couple also brought some Naga’s to support them The educated society should protect the nights of the workersand not support them wrongly for the sake of money. After listening to both the side we made them understand the matter and solved the problem with peaceful conclusion. Such incident happens everyday

but it is not brought to the notice of many. We the NDWM organisation cannot enter somebody’s house and speak of Domestic workers rights because of the following In Nagaland • Domestic workers are not recognized as workers, • There is no Law to protect them • No fixation of minimum wages • Domestic workers are not brought under the schedule of employment.

• Employers pay the domestic workers as they like, • The employers have no one to question types • All types of abuses both at home and work place It is high time that the state government enrols domestic workers under the schedule of employment, and entitles them for the minimum wages. The clamors against injustice are usually momentary and the plight of the marginalized remains the same. The incident that happened in the state capital may be just the tip of an iceberg. While law enforcing authorities have done their job by arresting the accused and initiating further investigation, it is necessary to get into the core of the issue to insure that other domestic workers do not face a similar ordeal in the future. There are

he mega event of Prime Minister’s oath ceremony gets under way on Thursday and the fact that as many as 8,000 guests having been invited makes the event great and unique. When the nation rejoices at this moment of swearing in ceremony, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has decided to stay away taking the sheen off the event a little bit. Mamata has her own reasons to be away from the oath ceremony. She cites the reasons for opting out of the grand

event being the unpleasant and unexpected developments in which the BJP invited family members of its cadre who were allegedly victims of TMC political violence in West Bengal.

In another unexpected development, TMC MLA Monirul Islam joined the saffron fold, making him the third legislator to desert the ruling party in West Bengal after the BJP gained significantly in the Lok Sabha polls in the state. Sadly, the BJP and TMC are engaged in bitter war of words throughout

the seven-phase campaigning in the state. Mamata said, “In the last one hour, I am seeing media reports that the BJP is claiming 54 people have been murdered in political violence in Bengal.

This is completely untrue.

There have been no political murders in Bengal. There is no record with us. Sorry, this has compelled me not to attend the ceremony.”

In the ultimate analysis, it can be inferred that Mamata cannot make it into the event of swearing in ceremony as her party’s

relationship with the BJP has worsened beyond redemption. It seems that BJP and TMC enmity has reached a crescendo with Mamata’s decision to stay away from attending the ceremony. If the two parties do not bury the hatchet, further spilling of blood will be there in West Bengal. In the interest of the people of West Bengal, both the parties should stop fighting. Let peace prevail in the state so that the state can march forward in the developmental path.

many generous Nagas, who treat their domestic helpers like their own family members, but we cannot generalise and to be oblivious to the plight of the employees, It is easy for employers to exploit those working in this unorganised sector as most domestic work are informal and remains outside the purview of labour regulations and social protections.

The fact is that a vast majority of domestic workers are underpaid, work more than eight hours a day for seven days a week, and they are usually the first to be blamed if something goes missing in the house with no redressal mechanism and adequate law to protect the workers in this informal sector, abuse and exploitation against them still remain rampant. The state government has recognised the All Nagaland Domestic Workers Uninolast year, Nov 28 2018 a step closer towards the welfare of its members, but more needs to be done to insure that this vulnerable section of society enjoy basic human rights and social security.

There has to be law in place on minimum wage, mandatory number of annual paid leaves, mandatory paid maternity leave, and regular payment.

Maintain time table

Sir,

So many people have been complaining about the erratic power supply which has plagued Dimapur all over again. There is a need for proper time table to be maintained by department concerned so public are aware of how many hours of load shedding to expect in a day. This will enable everyone to conduct their business accordingly without having the stress of not knowing when power supply will be shut off.

If load shedding takes place every half hour or even fifteen minutes, no one can do any work as most work/business are dependent of power supply.

UK court remands Nirav Modi till June 27

LONDON, MAY 30 (PTI): A UK court on Thursday extended till June 27 the remand of fugitive diamond merchant Nirav Modi, who is fighting his extradition to India in the nearly USD 2 billion Punjab National Bank (PNB) fraud and money laundering case.

The 48-year-old has been lodged at Wandsworth prison in south-west London since his third attempt at seeking bail was rejected

by Chief Magistrate Emma Arbuthnot at the last hearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court earlier this month.

He was produced before Judge Arbuthnot for the first case management hearing in the case. The judge

Nirav Modi

remanded him till June 27.

The judge also asked the Indian government to provide within 14 days the information on which prison he will be held at.

Modi was arrested by uniformed Scotland Yard officers on an extradition warrant from a Metro Bank branch in central London

as he attempted to open a new bank account on March 19 and has been in prison since. During subsequent hearings, Westminster Magistrates’ Court was told that Modi was the “principal beneficiary” of the fraudulent issuance of letters of undertaking (LoUs) as part of a conspiracy to defraud PNB and then laundering the proceeds of crime.

Arbuthnot, the judge who had ordered the Mallya extradition in December 2018, has been very firm with the CPS, representing the Indian government, about proper indexing of all documents to be submitted to the court in relation to the case.

national With no permission to land, KCR, Jagan cancel Delhi visit Vijayawada, MAY 30 (PTI): Andhra Pradesh and Telangana CMs cancelled their visit to Delhi to attend PM Narendra Modi’s swearing-in on Thursday after their flights did not get the permission to fly to the national capital. Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, who took oath as Andhra Pradesh CM here on Thursday, along with Telangana CM K. Chandrashekhar Rao, who attended the swearing-in, was scheduled to leave for Delhi by a special aircraft.

However, the CMs did not get permission from the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to fly due to restrictions on landing of unscheduled flights at the Indira Gandhi International Airport between 3.20 p.m. and 11 p.m., officials said.

‘Cong-JD(S) govt functioning smoothly’: K’taka CM NEW DELHI, MAY 30 (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy met Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday and conveyed to him that the state government was functioning smoothly and there was coordination between ruling coalition partners JD(S) and the Congress.

Kumaraswamy’s meeting with the Congress chief comes in the backdrop of voices of dissent gaining ground in the ruling coalition in the southern state after two Congress MLAs met former chief minister S M Krishna at his Bengaluru residence on Sunday.

All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary in-charge of Karnataka K C Venugopal is in Bengaluru currently to placate the disgruntled state leaders. “The CM apprised

Rahul Gandhi of the current political situation in the state and said the coalition government in the state is functioning smoothly with cooperation and coordination between both the parties,” an official statement said. During the brief meeting, the Janata Dal (Secular) leader also urged Gandhi

not to quit as the Congress chief, saying “the nation needs his service”, the statement added.

Kumaraswamy also discussed the outcome of the just-concluded Lok Sabha polls in Karnataka with Gandhi.

The coalition government in the southern state

has been fragile since its inception with reports of its collapse surfacing every now and then.

Following the drubbing of the Congress-JD(S) combine in the Lok Sabha election, where the two parties managed to win only one seat each in Karnataka, a senior Congress leader had claimed that the state government would collapse after June 10.

Two Congress MLAs -Ramesh Jarkiholi and Sudhakar -- met BJP leaders at Krishna’s residence, though they later claimed that their visit was not political.

The BJP, with 105 legislators, is the single-largest party in the 225-member Karnataka Assembly, while the ruling coalition has 117 MLAs -- 79 of the Congress, 37 of the JD(S) and one of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) -- in the House.

BJP trying to create divide between Bengalis and non-Bengalis: Mamata Temperature may touch 46 degrees in Delhi NAIHATI (WB), MAY 30 (PTI): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Thursday urged the people of the country to raise their voice against the “torture of BJP” and accused the saffron party of trying to create a divide between Bengalis and non-Bengalis in the state. “The BJP is trying to create a Bengali, non-Bengali divide in the state. They want to destroy the communal harmony in the state. I hate a party like West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee during a sit-in BJP. I would urge the people demonstration at Naihati in North 24 Parganas district of this country to raise their of West Bengal, Thursday. (PTI)

voice against communal divide,” Banerjee said in her first political programme after her party’s debacle in the Lok Sabha elections.

Banerjee took part in a sit-in organised by her party outside the Naihati Municipality on Thursday to protest against the alleged violence perpetrated by BJP after the announcement of poll results. “More than 400 Bengali families have been rendered homeless by goons of the BJP. I will not spare the goons,” she said.

Alleging that some po-

lice officials are acting on directions from BJP leaders, she said, “We will not tolerate it. We will take action against them.”

RBI’s monetary policy outcome is scheduled to be released on June 6.

Forex traders said easing crude oil prices in the overseas market, foreign fund inflows and heavy buying in the domestic equity market restricted the fall in the local unit.

the book, while SME lending was 14.5%.

Despite seeing opportunities in the problems faced by shadow lenders, Kumar said the government needs to take steps -- such as providing partial credit guarantees to the NBFCs -- to prevent wider damage to the economy. The loans provided by India’s shadow banks can’t fully be substituted by the regular banks, he said.

SBI had outstanding loans to NBFCs of 1.87 trillion rupees at the end of March, the majority of which were backed or owned by the central and state governments or by large private sector institutions.

“We recognize that NBFCs were a good conduit for credit growth, and incremental lending has slowed down,” Kumar said.

The banks are unlikely to resume lending to weak NBFCs unless the government provides backstop measures such as partial guarantees, he said.

If SBI or other banks are required to provide such loans “then probably lenders will be looking for some comfort from the government,” Kumar said.

in the sector. The crisis has forced non-banking financial companies to sell assets and restrict new loans, giving state-owned lenders an opportunity to claw back market share they have lost over the past decade.

Ku m a r s a i d S B I ’s strong capital gives it the leeway to seek more mortgages and small business loans, which had been a focus for the NBFCs before the crisis erupted. That should help the bank attain its target of 11% loan growth for the year to March 2020, Kumar said, slightly lower than the 12% growth of the previous fiscal year.

Privately-owned banks are also showing greater caution, providing another opportunity for SBI, Kumar said. “In a situation where many private sector banks have become very, very cautious, it has opened up lot of headroom available for corporate credit growth for the bank,” he said.

Home loans and other consumer lending accounted for 6.48 trillion rupees ($93 billion), or 32.5%, of SBI’s total domestic lending as of March 31. Advances to companies in India accounted for another 43% of

New Delhi, May 30 (Agencies): India’s largest lender is hoping to capitalise on the country’s shadow banking crisis by building its mortgage and small business loan book as the non-banks are forced to pull back.

According to Business Standard, State Bank of India, which is slowly emerging from a period of massive provisioning on loans to large corporates like Essar Steel India Ltd., sees opportunities in taking business from the shadow banks without creating new asset quality problems, according to Chairman Rajnish Kumar.

“We are not shying away from any business but that does not in any manner mean that we are going to dilute our underwriting standard,” Kumar said in an interview. “And I believe there is sufficient business that meets our underwriting standards.”

Mumbai, May 30 (PTI): The rupee Thursday fell marginally by 4 paise to close at 69.87 against the US currency, extending its decline for a third straight day, due to a stronger dollar and investors awaiting the allocation of key portfolios in the newly elected government.

Foreign fund inflows, strong gains in equities and easing crude oil prices, however, helped the local currency contain losses.

At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (forex), the domestic currency opened at 69.76 a dollar and fell further to touch the day’s low of 69.93. It finally settled at 69.87 per dollar, down 4 paise over its previous close.

Fresh election as Netanyahu fails to form coalition govt

Turkey frees exNASA scientist charged for terror A n k a r a , M ay 3 0 (IANS): A former NASA scientist sentenced in Turkey to over seven years in prison on terrorism charges was suddenly freed without an explanation, hours after a phone call between Presidents Donald Trump and Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Serkan Golge, 39, is a Turkish-American citizen who was arrested while on vacation visiting his family in southern Turkey in 2016, in the aftermath of a coup attempt that failed to oust Erdogan, The New York Times reported.

He was convicted in February 2018 and sentenced to seven and a half years in prison, which was later reduced to five years by an appeals court.

Golge, his wife Kubra and their two children, all Americans citizens, were barred from leaving the country.

Kubra, told The New York Times on Wednesday night that he had just walked free from prison and was heading back with his parents to their home in the city of Hatay.

"I just talked to him on the phone. He is going back to his family," she said. "He was shocked."

Trump and Erdogan spoke by telephone earlier on Wednesday and discussed "a number of bilateral issues", such as trade and tariffs, according to a White House deputy press secretary, Judd Deere. An official White House statement of the call did not mention Golge.

A release sent out to the media by a Turkish official in Erdogan's administration also did not mention Golge. It said the Presidents discussed a range of issues, including Turkey's planned purchase of the Russian S-400 missile defence system, which Washington opposes. Turkey detained more than a dozen American citizens, including Golge, as well as three Turkish employees of the US Consulates, in a crackdown after the failed coup.

Benjamin Netanyahu

muster support of only 60 lawmakers in the 120 member house, falling short of a majority by just one.

Netanyahu launched a diatribe against Lieberman whom he blamed for “dragging the country to unnecessary elections”.

“Avigdor Liberman is now part of the left. He brings down right-wing governments. Don’t believe him again. I will tell you about it tomorrow. Maybe I will tell you some things you don’t know,” the Prime Minister told reporters immediately after the Knesset voted to dissolve itself.

“We’ll run a sharp, clear election campaign which will bring us victory. We’ll win, we’ll win and the public will win,” he said.

“The public in Israel made a clear decision. It decided that I will be Prime Minister, that the Likud will lead the government, a right-wing government,” Netanyahu said.

According to several political analysts, the impasse leading to the political crisis was borne out of personal ego clash between the two leaders and does not really have a sound

ideological ground.

Netanyahu and Lieberman’s association in politics goes back some 31 years when the latter assisted the former during his tenure as the deputy foreign minister in an unofficial capacity.

The move by Netanyahu’s ruling Likud party to dissolve the Knesset ensured that President Reuven Rivlin would not be able to call some other lawmaker to try to form a new government.

Rivlin had asked Netanyahu to form the next government after 65 lawmakers, including five of Lieberman’s Yisrael Beitenu party, submitted letters of support for him.

Netanyahu asked for an additional two weeks time to form the government after failing to cobble up one together during the mandated 28 days period.

The extended time period was to expire at midnight on Wednesday.

Likud party had won 35 seats in the April 9 elections and the right-wing parties had together won 65 seats in the 120 member Knesset, making everyone believe that a right wing government was inevitable and easy to form.

Netanyahu declared victory and started coalition negotiations immediately after the results came out, but contrary to expectations, the jubilation in the right-wing bloc proved momentary with no resolution on the military conscription bill.

Pakistan extends airspace closure on Indian border to June 14.

Islamabad, May 30 (PTI): Pakistan has further extended the closure of its airspace along its eastern border with India until June 15, according to the country’s civil aviation authority.

Pakistan fully closed its airspace in February after an Indian Air Force strike on a Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terror camp in Balakot. The country opened its airspace for all flights except for New Delhi, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur on March 27.

On May 15, Pakistan extended its airspace ban for flights to India till May 30.

According to a notice issued to airmen (NOTAM) by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), the country’s airspace along the eastern border with India will remain closed until 5 am (local time) on June 15.

As per a separate NOTAM issued by the CAA, the Panjgoor airspace would remain open for overflying transit flights from the western side as Air India had already been using that airspace.

Pakistan had given a

Six dead in suicide blast in Kabul

special permission to India for External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj to fly directly through Pakistani airspace to attend the SCO meet in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on May 21. However, the airspace for other commercial airliners remained closed.

As a result of the ban, foreign carriers using Indian airspace have been forced to take costly detours because they cannot fly over Pakistan. The closure mainly affects flights from Europe to Southeast Asia. The flights from US and Europe flying in and out of New Delhi were worst hit.

Thousands of travellers suffer flight cancellations, delays and soaring ticket prices due to Pakistan’s decision to close its airspace for flights to and from India. Aviation Minister Ghulam Sarwar Khan had said that due to closure of eastern side airspace, Pakistan was suffering from less loss compared to India as Indian commercial flights had to take longer routes for Europe, the Dawn reported.

US fears Huawei will pass info to Chinese govt: Mike Pompeo Washington, May 30 (PTI): The Trump administration is opposing Huawei as it fears the Statecontrolled telecom giant will pass on information to the Chinese government of which it is an “instrument” and deeply connected with, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said.

Escalating the bruising trade war with China, the US Department of Commerce recently blacklisted Huawei over security concerns and barred American companies from installing its telecom equipment.

Earlier in the week, US President Donald Trump said there was a possibility of including the Huawei issue in the ongoing trade negotiations with China.

“Huawei is an instrument of the Chinese Government. They are deeply connected,” Pompeo told Fox Business News in an interview on Wednesday.

Responding to a question on the US efforts to oppose Huawei globally, Pompeo said it was something that was hard for Americans to understand.

The US companies cooperate with the government, they comply with its laws, but no president directs an American private company, that is very different in China, he noted.

“They just simply operate under a different set of rules. That’s the most fundamental thing I think people need to try and get their head around.

“If it’s the case that the Chinese Communist Party

Mike Pompeo

wanted to get information from technology that was in the possession of Huawei, it is almost certainly the case that Huawei would provide that to them,” Pompeo said.

He said a “deep connectivity” exists inside the way China’s political economy operates which is very different from the US. “That’s the threat that President Trump sees from Huawei,” he said, asserting that the US is telling the same to other countries.

“They are becoming educated as well. They are learning. It’s not a critique; we were slow to see it as well. It’s important that we continue to share information. There’ll be places where they have better information than we do, and we ought to share the information about those risks,” he said.

“We are interdependent in terms of our communications systems with them. We have Westernbased, rules-ordered, privacy-focused systems that we jointly engage in. That’s what technology needs to

Soldiers after the suicide attack on Kabul Military Acedemy.

Kabul, May 30 (AFP): At least six people were killed and six more wounded in a suicide blast outside a military academy in the Afghan capital on Thursday, an official said.

The attack outside the Marshal Fahim National Defense University in western Kabul took place at the road entrance to the war college.

Kabul police spokesman Firdaws Faramarz said the suicide bomber had been on foot. He blew himself up when a soldier challenged him.

“Based on initial information, six people

killed, six wounded, police have reached the scene,” Faramarz said.

The attacker “detonated himself before reaching his target”, Faramarz added, without providing further details.

The attack happened around noon (0730 GMT), a time when students typically leave school early during the month of Ramadan.

No group immediately claimed responsibility.

Police and security forces in and around Kabul have come under frequent attack in recent weeks, even as the US and the Taliban

have held talks about a possible peace agreement.

Opened in 2005 and named after former vice president Mohammed Fahim, the Marshal Fahim academy is modelled after US and British war colleges and trains cadets destined to become officers in Afghanistan’s army.

A large annexe to the university is home to dozens of NATO troops who mentor the Afghan cadets.

The explosion was not believed to have affected operations at that centre, which lies behind multiple layers of tight security.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Through this column, we the bereaved family members of Lt. Kughali M Sheqi would like to offer our heartfelt gratitude to the churches, prayer warriors, friends, neighbours and well wishers for supporting us spiritually, emotionally and through your generous giving during the prolonged illness till the time of her demise on 23rd May, 2019.

look like in the next 10, 20, 30 years as well. We need Western values embedded in these systems,” Pompeo said.

It would be an important topic of discussion when Pompeo travels to Europe later this week.

“The Secretary is going to reiterate that the security of our allies’ telecoms networks has a direct bearing on our mutual national security, something we’re concerned about not only for American national security but for our allies and partners,” a senior State Department official told reporters during a conference call.

“I think we’ve made clear that if the risk of sharing information exceeds the threshold for the United States, we may be forced to limit information sharing, and that’s what we continue to discuss and highlight for our allies, including Germany, about vulnerabilities there,” the official said.

“This may be something that comes up as well with the Swiss, not only with the government but also with business people as well, who have insights or questions on that,” the official said.

Huawei has filed a lawsuit against the US government challenging the decision of the Trump administration to limits on purchases of its equipment.

Jerusalem, May 30 (PTI): In an unprecedented development, Israeli lawmakers Thursday voted to dissolve Parliament and hold a fresh elections on September 17 after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to form a coalition government before a midnight deadline.

In little more than six weeks since they were elected, Israeli lawmakers voted 74-45 in favour of dissolving the 21st Knesset (Israeli Parliament) and hold a second general elections in the same calendar year.

Netanyahu’s remarkable victory in the April 9 polls securing him a record fifth term proved temporary in the face of a logjam between potential coalition partners over a military conscription bill governing exemptions for ultraOrthodox Jewish seminary students.

He clashed with former Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman, whose support in the talks became vital. Lieberman, from the nationalist Yisrael Beitenu party, had made it a condition of allying with ultraOrthodox Jewish parties that they change their military draft exemptions.

Lieberman told reporters just before the vote that Israel was going to the polls because of the “complete surrender of the Likud (ruling party) to the haredim (ultra-orthodox)”.

Without Yisrael Beitenu, Netanyahu could

EE launches the UK’s first 5G network E ver ything Ever ywhere (EE) has today launched its 5G data network to the public, marking the start of a new era in the UK’s mobile capabilities.

The BT-owned operator is initially launching in six cities - London, Cardiff, Belfast, Edinburgh, Birmingham and Manchester - with more to follow before the end of the year and into 2020.

5G technology is the next generation of mobile network and is expected to offer internet speeds several times that of current generation 4G. A number of 5G-capable handsets are available from Samsung, OnePlus, LG, HTC and Oppo.

Huawei has been left off amid ongoing tensions between the US and the Chinese company.

During last week’s 5G announcement by EE, chief executive Marc Allera said it had decided to ‘pause’ the sale of Huawei 5G phones.

He added that the firm won’t be stocking the handsets ‘until we get the information and confidence and the long-term security that our customers - when they buy those devices - are going to be supported for the

lifetime that they’ve got the device with us’.

EE is planning to reach 1,500 sites by the end of 2019, including the ‘busiest parts’ of Bristol, Coventry, Glasgow, Hull, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Nottingham and Sheffield.

The operator celebrated the launch last night with a 5G-powered gig by London rapper Stormzy.

Vodafone has also been investing heavily in 5G and announced earlier this month its plan to launch in July.

Vodafone will switch on its 5G network for both consumers and business customers in seven cities across the UK on 3 July 2019.

It is also offering 5G roaming in Germany, Italy and Spain over the summer.

Vodafone may have been the first to announce an official date, but EE has undercut this by more than a month.

It will launch initially in seven cities, compared to EE’s six, with just London, Cardiff and Manchester hosting both networks.

Vodafone will also be in Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow and Liverpool.

Myriad other smaller cities will then get 5G throughout the year, including Stoke, Blackpool and Portsmouth.

O2 is also working on its 5G capabilities but appears to be lagging behind the other two in terms of established infrastructure and clear plans.

It said in February it will launch 5G in the UK at some point this year. It has yet to elaborate on this.

It also intends to start

in just four places, earmarking the capital cities of the UK nations -Belfast, London, Cardiff and Edinburgh.

EE announced earlier this year it would test its 5G mobile network during Glastonbury as part of its trials of the technology.

EE has said it will install five temporary masts across the Worthy Farm site, which will enable festival-goers to connect to 2G, 3G, 4G and new 5G networks.

Pete Jeavons, EE and BT’s marketing and communications director, said at the time: ‘Smartphones have become a festival must-have as we’ve seen each year with more and more data being consumed at Glastonbury Festival.

‘As the long-standing technology partner to this iconic event, we are committed to building a network powerful enough to cope with this huge demand.

‘With the introduction of 5G this year, we are able to trial this new technology at Worthy Farm and make history as the UK’s first 5Gconnected festival.’

Engineering firm RS Components, based in the UK, analysed the potential of 5G. (Mailonline)

Elton John considered Justin Timberlake to star in ‘Rocketman’

K-Pop group VAV’s India tour to begin with Delhi concert

ctor Taron Egerton may have drawn raves in Cannes Film Festival for his portrayal of legendary singer Elton John in “Rocketman” but the legend’s first choice was actor-singer Justin Timberlake.

The former boybanderturned-hitmaker and actor Timberlake had once starred in the David LaChapellehelmed video of John’s 2001 song “This Train Don’t Stop There Anymore”.

“But we never formerly approached Justin because we weren’t ever at a stage where it was the right time to approach him,” John’s husband and “Rocketman” producer David Furnish told hollywoodreporter.com Furnish added: “But he did an amazing job in the video. He put on a prosthetic nose, and it turned out to have been some really interesting acting work as well.”

As for Tom Hardy, John appeared to throw a little shade on the “Venom” star.

“Taron Egerton came onboard this film because somebody else dropped out,” he told the crowd at the film’s Cannes afterparty.

outh Korean K-Pop group VAV is all set to begin their debut India tour from Friday with a twohour concert in Delhi of their biggest hits, including their latest “Thrilla Killa”, the six-member group said here on Thursday.

The boy group, which debuted in 2015, announced their tour in the beginning of May on social media, finally giving in to “requests from their Indian fans”, they told reporters at the Korean Cultural Centre (KCC) here.

They will perform at the Siri Fort Auditorium here on Friday, and in Manipur’s Imphal on June 2.

The band members -

A

S

Ziu, Ace, Lou, Ayno, Baron and St Van - said they were nervous but excited to meet their fans, and that India had been on their list since quite some time.

“India is very big in terms of population and size. When you see Indian movies, Indians are always dancing in sync.

“Indians are full of passion and always like to sing and dance,” the members said in response to an IANS question, inviting their fans to sing and dance with them at the concert.

Baron added that India has been a mysterious country in his mind, and he hopes that the concert will

set the base for Indo-Korean cultural exchanges.

Much to the delight of the students of the KCC, many of whom learn the Korean language and are immersed in the East Asian country’s culture, VAV members greeted them with a ‘Namastey’ gesture.

K-Pop, a popular musical genre of South Korea, has many avid followers in India, which also saw “Gangnam Style”, a famous 2012 K-Pop song going viral.

The concert has been arranged by Kiwa India, an organisation promoting Indo-Korean ties.

Miley Cyrus speaks out about her Painting by 17th Century female “feud” with Cardi B and Nicki Minaj artist loaned to a women’s prison

T

Breakfast Show on Tuesday (May 28), Cyrus clarified the comments and explained that she is not taking sides in any argument and went on to say she admires the artists.

“I don’t actually think there is beef now anymore,” Cyrus said. “I think you’re allowed to enjoy two artists that fill a similar lane and I always grew up collaborating with Demi, Selena and there was never any competition. Ariana is one of my best friends. When you are authentically yourself no one can be you so you’re never worried about someone stealing your place.

“I think what they [Cardi and Nicki] do is so

different from each other so they both get a crown, they don’t have to share it.

They’re both queens. Anytime you want to feel powerful and strong, that’s my go to – Cardi and Nicki.”

Meanwhile, Cyrus also debuted two further new songs at the Big Weekend including ‘Dream’ and ‘Mother’s Daughter’. Cyrus has said that her next album will be ‘genre-less’ with psychedelic and hip-hop elements.

The pop star is currently working on the follow-up to 2017’s ‘Younger Now’, which saw her return to her Tennessee roots and go country.

When performing the song at BBC Radio One’s Big Weekend recently, fans picked up on the line “I love you Nicki, but I listen to Cardi,” thinking that the line suggested a feud between Cyrus and Minaj, whilst also referencing the long-standing feud between Minaj and Cardi B.

There was a moment when the Ukranians picked up three out six points for a semblance of a fight back, but solid shooting by the young Indian pair, meant they had no chance.

The event format consisted of a first qualification round of three series of 20shots each with each team member allocated 10-shots per series. The top eight teams would then move to a second qualification round and have another round in the same format.

The top two teams would then qualify for the gold medal match while the third and fourth best teams would compete for the bronze medal.

In the match-ups, each member would get a single shot and the higher aggregate score was allotted two points. This series would continue and the first to 16-points was declared the winner.

Eng beat S. Africa by 104 runs in WC opener

L o n d o n, M ay 3 0 (AFP/IANS): Ben Stokes starred in all departments as England began their quest to win the World Cup with a 104-run thrashing of South Africa in the tournament opener at the Oval on Thursday.

The all-rounder topscored with 89 in England’s 311 for eight, held a brilliant catch in the outfield and took two for 12, including the last wicket, as England won with 61 balls left.

Jofra Archer did the early damage with the ball, the fast bowler taking three for 27 in seven overs.

Barbados-born Archer, who only qualified for England in March, made his presence felt even before he had taken a wicket with a bouncer that beat Hashim Amla for pace and crashed into the grille of the helmet, with the veteran opener retiring hurt on five.

Archer then reduced the Proteas to 44 for two.

Aiden Markram edged to Joe Root at slip and South Africa captain Faf du Plessis fell for just five when he top-edged a hook to long leg.

New Delhi, May 30 (Agencies): The West Indies, now going as the Windies, won the first two editions of World Cup in 1975 and 1979 while Pakistan became the World champions in 1992 under Imran Khan’s leadership.

Chelsea thrash Arsenal to win Europa League After Europa League final

Baku (Azerbaijan), May 30 (IANS): Chelsea came alive in the second half to defeat Arsenal 4-1 in all-London final of the Europa League, with Eden Hazard delivering a vintage performance in his final game in a Blues uniform.

The Belgian superstar, who is reportedly set to join Real Madrid, had a

mostly uneventful first half at Baku Olympic Stadium here on Wednesday night, but he scored twice and assisted on another goal as Chelsea pulled away from their crosstown rival over the final 45 minutes, reports Efe news.

The Gunners came out strong in the first half and nearly won a penalty in the

18th minute when forward Alexandre Lacazette appeared to be taken down by Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga in the area.

But after the play was reviewed by the video assistant referee (VAR) system, no spot-kick was awarded.

While Arsenal mainly looked to generate offense on the counter-attack with their

speedy duo of Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubemayang, their best scoring opportunity of the first half came on a blast from outside the area by Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka that grazed the woodwork just before the half-hour mark.

Veteran Arsenal goalie Petr Cech, meanwhile, did well to keep Chelsea off the

scoreboard in the early going, getting in the way of a powerful blast by Emerson in the 32nd minute and then stretching out to make a remarkable save of a shot

by Olivier Giroud seven minutes later.

The scoreless deadlock, however, was finally broken five minutes after the intermission when Giroud dove in front of defender Laurent Koscielny to meet a cross from Emerson and head it into the back of the net past Cech.

Chelsea then doubled their lead at the one-hour mark when Hazard gained possession of the ball at midfield, executed a giveand-go and then sent in a cross that Pedro put home with a left-footed shot.

That advantage was stretched to 3-0 after a play in which Giroud was brought down by Ainsley Maitland-Niles, the only English starter in an allPremier League final of the Europa League, Europe’s second-biggest annual club competition.

Hazard proceeded to convert from the 12-yard mark in minute 65 to deepen Arsenal’s misery.

Alex Iwobi gave the Gunners a brief glimmer of hope with a phenomenal strike from well outside the box that entered the net past a diving Kepa in the 69th minute to make the score 3-1.

But any hope of a miraculous comeback was snuffed out just three minutes later by Hazard, who booted home a brilliant chip pass from Giroud inside the area.

Chelsea - winners of Europe’s premier club competition, the Champions League, in 2012 - have added a second Europa League title to go with the one they won in 2013.

But the loss capped off a disappointing end of the season for Arsenal, who failed to capture a maiden Europa League title after falling just short of qualifying for the 2019-2020 Champions League with a fifthplace finish in the Premier League.

Arsenal head coach Unai Emery, for his part, finally came out on the losing end of a Europa League final after winning three as manager of Sevilla (20142016).

defeat, Petr Cech retires

Petr Cech

L o n d o n, M ay 3 0 (Agencies): Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech said he had “no regrets” as he played the final match of his career in Wednesday’s 4-1 Europa League defeat by former club Chelsea.

“I have to say I have done everything, so I can look back and have no regrets,” Cech told BT Sport following the final in Baku.

The 37-year-old won the Champions League and four Premier League titles at Chelsea and there have been reports linking him with a return to Stamford Bridge in an upstairs capacity.

“There is a lot of speculation about Chelsea and all these things,” he said. “I

wanted lift the trophy and sit down and think. Until June 30 I am an Arsenal player.

Until that point I won’t decide on anything,” he added.

Cech moved across London in 2015 and predicts a positive future for the Gunners under Unai Emery.

“This is something this group of players don’t deserve because behind the scenes with the coaching staff, the supporters don’t see how much work is being done,” the Czech Republic’s record cap holder said.

“I can assure everybody who supports us the work we have done during the season will come next season and this team will be much stronger,” he added.
