Ghulam Nabi Azad quits Congress

DPDB discusses dilapidated road LAUNCHES NO-HOLDS-BARRED ATTACK ON RAHUL; TO FORM NEW PARTY condition of Dmu

NEW DELHI, AUG 26 (AGENCIES): Ghulam Nabi Azad, a Congress veteran and former Union Minister, quit his party of more than five decades today with a scalding attack on Rahul Gandhi, ripping into him for “childish behaviour”, “glaring immaturity” and for letting a “coterie of inexperienced sycophants” run the party.

Azad said that he will visit Jammu and Kashmir ‘soon’ to form his own party.

He also denied any plans of joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

In a lacerating resignation letter to Sonia Gandhi, he blamed her son Rahul for the Congress’s defeat in the 2014 national election- a turning point for the party that has been struggling to win elections since. The Congress was “comprehensively destroyed” and had

reached a point of no return, he declared, and slammed a “remote control model” in which Sonia Gandhi is “just a nominal figurehead” while important decisions are taken by “Rahul Gandhi or rather worse his security guards and PAs (personal assistants)”.

This is the latest big exit from the Congress in the past three years and the third this year after Kapil Sibal and Ashwani Kumar.

Azad, 73, said the Congress had conceded its po-

litical space to the BJP and regional parties “because the leadership in the past eight years has tried to foist a non-serious individual” at the helm of the party.

“Unfortunately, after the entry of Rahul Gandhi into politics and particularly after January 2013, when he was appointed Vice President by you, the entire consultative mechanism which existed earlier was demolished by him,” Azad wrote, pointing out that Sonia Gandhi had heeded senior leaders.

All senior and experienced leaders were sidelined, he said, and “new coterie of inexperienced sycophants” started running the affairs of the party.

“One of the most glaring examples of his immaturity was the tearing up of the government ordinance in the full glare of the media

D I M A P U R , AU G 2 5 (NPN): Dimapur District Planning and Development Board (DPDP) on Friday discussed about the dilapidated condition of the road along NH-36 from 160/000 km to 166/880 km in Dimapur city.

At the monthly DPDP meeting at DC conference hall, the board agreed to write to PWD (NH) to expedite the construction work to alleviate the sufferings of the public.

According to DPRO Dimapur, the board also agreed to direct the authorities to clear the trees around Assam Rifles camp at Firing along NH-36 as they were posting hazard to the public.

The board also decided to write to the Commissioner of Police to identify areas required to install CCTV in order to monitor accidents (Cont’d on p-8) and criminal activities.

by Rahul Gandhi,” he said.

Rahul Gandhi in 2013 tore up a controversial ordinance or special order to spare convicted lawmakers from disqualification and called it “complete nonsense”, embarrassing his own Congress-led government and then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

“This childish behaviour completely subverted the authority of the Prime Minister and the government of India. This one single action more than anything else contributed significantly to the defeat of the UPA government in 2014 that was at the receiving end of a campaign of calumny and insinuation from a combination of forces of the right wing and certain unscrupulous corporate interests,” Azad’s letter said.

Speaking at the flagging off ceremony at Shokhuvi Railway Station, the chief minister said it was a “Red Letter Day” for the state of Nagaland and congratulated the officers, engineers and staff of Northeast Frontier

Time to settle Naga issue, not election: WC D I M A P U R , AU G 2 6 (NPN): Working Committee of the Naga National Political Groups (WC, NNPGs) asserted that it was time to settle the Naga political issue and not hold elections, adding that the overwhelming demand of the people for early solution is being ignored and the narrative is shrewdly being manipulated to electoral narrative from political solution.

Hitting out at the oppositionless government for “creating so much friction within Naga tribes”, WC, NNPGs said the Government of India is being misinformed about matters on the ground. It said the Government of India representatives

and inner circle of Nagaland’s elected representatives were visibly “saying one thing one day and doing the opposite the next day, playing havoc with the sentiment of the Naga people.”

Pointing out that the July 16 four-point resolution adopted by 60 legislators gave a clear lucid signal to the Centre that the Nagas, state government, apex civil societies and common people were prepared for a political solution, WC, however, said the resolution was not meant to officially reach the Prime Minister’s Office or Union Home Minister’s office, but “a mere exercise to fool the Naga people”.

However, ‘It is time to settle Naga Political solution and not Election’,” WC asserted.

WC also said it was time for government of India to be forthcoming. “If a negotiated solution is to be kept undeclared and prolonged, disrespecting and hurting the Naga people’s sentiment, the aggrieved Nagas have every right to revert back to preindependent India position and status of 1929 memo,” WC stated.

Naga society fragmented: Dr Jamir

D I M A P U R , AU G 2 6 (NPN): Veteran Naga politician and former chief minister and governor Dr. SC Jamir on Friday lamented that the Naga society was fragmented and wasting precious time for things which were impossible to achieve and leaders have abdicated governance.

He said this while addressing the 28th Freshers’ Day of Tetso College-‘Salvete 2022’, as the chief guest.

Speaking on the theme “A Tryst with the Future of Nagaland”, Dr. Jamir recalled that the leaders of the past had a dream of a united and robust Nagaland, with one accord, one purpose, one mind and one objective. However, Dr. Jamir lamented that the present Naga society was exactly like the biblical story of the Tower of Babel, where the State has been witnessing fragmentation of both underground and over-ground organizations into multiple factions with divergent outlook and agenda.

“No one has divided us. But it is we, ourselves that are divided and today we are reaping the bitter fruit,” he stated.

Dr. SC Jamir speaking at the programme.

“We talk too much about the past forgetting about the fact that we must live in the present and mould the future,” he stated.

To reinvent and transform the Nagaland of today, Dr. Jamir mentioned that the mindset of the Nagas would have to be rooted in contemporary realities.

As the world was now a global village due to developments in technology and was very competitive, Dr. Jamir stressed that our outlook and attitude should also have to be global.

He said that a selfcentric approach will have to give way to an inclusive approach and short-term perspective will have to be replaced with a long-term perspective.

He further called upon the youth of Nagaland to

be the standard torch bearer of all the good that we have lived for and we seek.

Dr. Jamir encouraged the gathering to face challenges with clear vision without fear or ill will.

Earlier, in her welcome address, principal Tetso college Dr. Hewasa L Khing challenged the students to practice the vision and mission of the college to empower themselves towards lifelong excellence and to go on creating a positive impact in the world.

She said that “by joining Tetso College, you are joining a community of 2000 plus students. You are also joining a community of dreamers, thinkers and most importantly doers.”

Dr. Hewasa also informed that four students have been selected to represent Tetso College at the 2022 International Leading

Together event in Chennai in September-- a joint collaboration with the University of Melbourne and four leading institutes in India.

Sovima Village Council chairman Sebastian Zumvu also addressed the gathering and acknowledged the college for its contribution in all aspects.

Meanwhile, the Annual Governor P.B. Acharya Dr. T Ao Sports Scholarship awarded to Sentitoshi Jamir of BBA VI Semester in the field of Basketball and Dzuziengunuo Linyii of BA 3rd Semester (Political Science) in the field of Badminton.

The informal session witnessed a host of events such as Mr. & Miss Fresher 2022, dance, songs, and other special performances.

The programme was chaired by asst. prof. & IQAC coordinator Dr. Chikhosale Thingo, invocation by executive secretary Council of Rengma Baptist Churches Haiwalo Apon and the vote of thank and benediction by Tetso College student council general secretary B. Temjensunep Longchar and asst. prof. & senior advisor to EU, Tetso college, Akali Sumi respectively.

K. Ela was speaking at the national seminar on “rights of differently abled women in North East India”, organised by department of History and Political Science of Immanuel college and supported by National Commission for Women in the college conference hall.

In her keynote address, she pointed out that parents and teachers have never taught us that the PwDs have rights entitled in the constitution and that we have never been taught how to talk with them or befriend them.

Lamenting that PwDs were discriminated and

stigmatised in schools and society, Ela said there were not many PwDs in colleges because they dropped out of school and one of the main reasons was because of the discrimination that they faced.

‘Need to check how far reservation for PwDs is implemented’ Deputy commissioner (DC) Dimapur Sachin Jaiswal pointed out that 4% reservation reserved for PwDs in Nagaland should be checked on how far it was implemented.

He said lack of education for people with disability was a concern and a matter of neglect as they

were not given the opportunity to venture out by their family because of shame and stigma.

Stating that the mentality of society has to go through a paradigm change, DC lamented that despite Nagaland being a strong knit community, it was the same as the rest, since the issue of disability was not being addressed.

Sharing that he did not consider DC office as PwD friendly, Jaiswal said it had no facilities or services for them although there were provisions for offices to be made PwD friendly.

“In Nagaland which is mostly rough terrain, there is

hardly any services friendly for them and there are lots of infrastructure, psychological gap and many do not possess disability certificate, which will ensure them of the entitled schemes”, DC stated. ‘ Vi o l e n c e a ga i n s t women with disabilities surrounded by silence’ Although the National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) has declared Nagaland as “safest” state for women with only 67 incidences of crime against women, violence against women with disabilities has been an issue surrounded by silence, assistant professor, department of History, Imjungla Imchen stated.

Despite significant number of disabled women in Naga society, Imjungla said they were ignored, neglected, hidden and their rights were unrecognised.

Delivering a presentation on “violence against women with disabilities in Nagaland”, she challenged the gathering by saying that it was time that people listen to the voices of PwDs, to raise more awareness and amp up efforts to create long lasting change for women

Azo said it was learnt that the deceased was physically tortured by the police personnel while he was under their custody and said to have succumbed to the injuries after five days of his arrest.

Azo questioned Assam government, particularly the law enforcing agencies by saying that when “our own neighbour is not safe in the hands of our own security personnel then it will break the trust of brotherhood between the two peace loving states.”

He appealed to the counterpart Assam government to “immediately set up a Special Investigative Team (SIT) and probe into the case with utmost seriousness, without any biasK Y M C

ness and deliver justice to the victim’s family at the earliest.

The union appealed to the responsible authority to take legal action against the culprits and deliver justice at the earliest.

ASM: Condemning the alleged custodial death, Anaki Senso Mungdang urged upon the competent authorities to conduct thorough judicial probe and demanded that those perpetrators who committed such heinous crime against its fellow citizen be booked and awarded befitting punishment irrespective of creed or colour.

ASM president I. Nuklu Lemtur and secretary T. Aren Imsong conveyed deepest condolences to the bereaved family and prayed that the Almighty would grant them solace.

USSC: Condemning the alleged custodial death, United Sangtam Students’ Conference said the personnel who were supposed to protect have “completely failed”, which it said, undermined the fundamental rights of the citizens as enshrined in the constitution of India and the International Human Rights law.

USSC vice president Sethrongba Y Sangtam and education secretary Irothe T Sangtam said the inhuman act by lawabiding forces was “a disgrace to the constitution of the country”.

It demanded that the personnel be brought to justice immediately and also extended its support to the demand of Eastern Naga Students’ Federation (ENSF) to immediately constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT).

NORTHEAST

GUWAHATI, AUG 26 (PTI): Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday asserted there can be no comparison between the northeastern state and Delhi as the national capital is more like a “municipal corporation”.

He asked his Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal to come to Assam and see for himself government-run education and healthcare units, while stating that he will also visit similar facilities in Delhi during his frequent trips there.

Sarma was reacting to claims by Kejriwal and other AAP leaders that Delhi has better education and healthcare facilities than Assam. “Delhi is a state merely in name. It is more of a municipal corporation” the senior BJP leader

claimed. He argued that if Assam has to be compared with other states, it has to be done with places like Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, or Punjab. “I have seen their ‘mohallah clinics’. But after seeing the facilities at our Gauhati Medical College and Hospital, what is there to see in those clinics?”

Sarma said.

The chief minister was speaking to reporters after reviewing the progress of work of a ‘Swahid Smarak and Park’ here. In the education sector, he maintained that Delhi has about 1,200 schools with 6,000-7,000 teachers while there are 60,000-70,000 state government schools, employing nearly 2.5 lakh teachers in Assam. “If we had only 1,200 schools, I would have visited the institutions every

Himanta Biswa Sarma “I had written in 2015 that a time will come when only the Gandhis will be left in the Congress and all others will leave. This is what is happening,” the CM stated.

Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad on Friday resigned from all party positions, including its primary membership, delivering another blow to the embattled party that has seen a series of leaders leave it. The situation in the Congress, Azad maintained, has reached a point of no return and now “proxies”

are being propped to take over leadership of the party.

Sarma, talking to reporters, said the letter written “by me in 2015 has many similarities to the one written by Azad ‘sahab’.

The issues that were there earlier, are still there and will continue to be there, leading to a situation when only the Gandhis will remain in the part,” he added.

Referring to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, the chief minister said that he is a “boon” for the BJP. “When leaders of both the parties are compared, the BJP is way ahead of the Congress and that suits us,” he added. Sarma resigned from the Congress in 2015 to join the BJP before Assam assembly elections the year after. He was largely credited for the saffron party’s first electoral victory in a northeastern state.

IMPHAL, AUG 26: Scheduled Tribe Demand Committee (STDC) Manipur on Friday stressed the need of putting in place a protection mechanism for the Meetei/Meitei community before the arrival of train in Imphal.

STDC president Yumnam Dhiraj said that the community needs a constitutional safeguard before the arrival of the train in Manipur and scheduled tribe status was the only option.

The president was talking to reporters on the sideline of a sit-in-protest held by the members of the STDC in Imphal’s Keishampat Junction to mark the beginning of the fresh movement of the committee.

“No ST status, no rail line,” read one of the placards displayed at the

duced to a minority. “The community is vulnerable to become refugees in their own ancestral land with a proud nation for more than 5000 years,” he said. The president alleged that the Centre delayed in consideration of the demand due to failure on the part of the Manipur government to do the needful.

He asserted that railway line reaching Manipur is no reason to be happy as there were possibilities of an overwhelming number of migrants arriving in the state.

It may push the indigenous Meetei/Meitei to extinction. As such, the community needs a constitutional safeguard, he reiterated. The president warned that if the state government remains silent without doing the needful, STDC was ready to launch intense forms of agitations with people’s support.

I will work under the guidance of party leaders to ensure our victory in the 2023 elections with more seats,” he said.

The BJP secured 36 of the 60 seats in the 2018 assembly elections in the northeastern state.

“Our president J P Nadda will begin his twoday visit the state from August 28. His stay means beginning of election campaign. I urge you all to make his rally a grand success,” he said.

GUWAHATI, AUG 26 (PTI): Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday said that the resignation letter sent by Ghulam Nabi Azad to Congress president Sonia Gandhi had many similarities with the one he had written when he quit the party in 2015.

The problem in the Congress is that everybody knows Rahul Gandhi is “immature, whimsical and unpredictable” but his mother is still trying to promote him, Sarma said on the sidelines of a programme here.

“The Congress president is not taking care of the party. She had been basically trying to promote her son all these years, but it is a futile attempt... Her mission will not be successful,” Sarma claimed.

People who had been loyal to the party are deserting it one by one, he said.

On Kejriwal asking him to visit Delhi to see the healthcare and education facilities, Sarma said, “I frequently visit Delhi, he doesn’t have to tweet to ask me to go there. “Since he so desires, I will visit the clinics and schools there during one of my visits. He can also come here and see our facilities.”

The two CMs had entered into a tussle on the micro-blogging site on Thursday with Kejriwal criticising the Assam government for closing down schools when there was a need to open more schools across the country. Sarma had countered it by claiming that the government had provincialised or taken over private schools into the government fold since 2013 as well as established new ones.

On ABVP criticism of the state government’s decision to teach maths and science in the English language from Class 3 onwards, Sarma said the organisation has a democratic right to protest against any government decision as long as the opposition is not violent.

CBI FIR fake, Centre like ‘serial killer’: Sisodia NEW DELHI, AUG 26 (PTI): The BJP-led Centre is acting like a serial killer to eliminate state governments, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia claimed on Friday, as he termed the CBI FIR against him “completely fake” and based on “mere sources”.

Speaking in the Delhi Assembly, Sisodia said the CBI does not have proof of any corruption in the city government’s excise policy.

He also alleged that the CBI conducted raids on his residence because the Delhi government’s good work was being praised across the globe.

The deputy chief minister, who is an accused in the CBI case related to the Delhi government’s excise policy, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi “feels insecure” seeing good work done by others.

“Prime Minister Modi feels insecure seeing good work by others. I have not seen a more insecure person than him. Had Arvind Kejriwal been the prime minister

Manish Sisodia and I the education minister of a state, he would not have done something like this,” Sisodia said, participating in a discussion on a government resolution moved by Revenue Minister Kailash Gahlot.

The deputy chief minister asserted that Kejriwal supported the prime minister in all the Centre’s good initiatives but the PM did the opposite.

He said CBI officers searched his clothes and even his children’s clothes during the 14-hour raid at his house but found nothing.

“The FIR against me is completely fake. I have committed no corruption...They

(BJP) are acting like serial killer to eliminate other state governments. The effort they are putting to murder state governments, they should have put that much effort into building schools and hospitals,” Sisodia said.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday had held a show of strength by summoning all its MLAs at party supremo Arvind Kejriwal’s residence where he accused the BJP of trying to topple his government by offering Rs 800 crore to 40 of his legislators for switching sides. Kejriwal also questioned if the money came from GST collections, the PM CARES fund or some of the BJP’s “friends”.

Speaking in the House, the deputy chief minister defended his government’s Excise Policy 2021-22, which has now been withdrawn.

“There was no burden on the people in the excise policy and the government’s revenue also increased, but still the BJP was alleging corruption in it,” Sisodia said.

NATIONAL/STATE NDPP committed to issue...

(From p-1) He, however said if solution did not arrive, they would have to be prepared as political party, “to face election as the election commission has mandated”.

Rio also stated that it was a constitutional obligation for them to face the election whenever it would be announced.

He said the sentiment cannot be fragmented as it was “one Naga, one issue and one settlement”. Rio further added that there would be “many groups but the competencies were agreed from both sides” and that they would all come together and sign the settlement for all the Nagas.

Stating that Dimapur area and town were the most important constituencies, Rio said in the last election, there was no party representative and that the party was handicapped, however, he said, with Moatoshi Longkumer and Azheto Zhimomi joining the party has strengthened their position. He also declared that the two legislators would fight the 2023 polls under NDPP. Rio further informed that the President of India Draupadi Murmu was likely to visit Nagaland next

month to express her gratitude for the overwhelming support given to her during the presidential polls.

Rio also congratulated new office bearers 2-Dimapur-II NDPP party and expressed happiness that both old and new team would work out a formula to accommodate one another and strengthen the party.

Short speeches were also delivered by NDPP president Chingwang Konyak, 2 Dimapur-II A/c president Limawati Imchen and MLA, 2 Dimapur-II A/c Moatoshi Longkumer.

The programme was chaired by Dimapur region secretary Shikato Swu, invocation by DABA mission director Imnatoshi Longkumer, welcome address

by NDPP Dimapur region president Vihoshe Awomi and special number by Imli K Imchen.

Highlights of the event included flag hosting by NDPP president Chingwang Konyak and cutting of the NDPP Dimapur region office by chief minister.

Vote of thanks was proposed by youth organisation, Dimapur region general secretary Gracely Chishi and benediction by Lotha Baptist Church Dimapur, pastor Yanbemo Lotha.

Yogi hate speech: ENSF holds mass rally against... p-1) Shami asserted that SC dismisses plea (FromMany were seen with Phom people were peacethat read: “We loving who have resolved against HC order placards condemn killing of innocent to end all forms of violence

NEW DELHI, AUG 26 (PTI): The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a plea challenging the Allahabad High Court judgement in a matter pertaining to the alleged hate speech of 2007 involving Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

A bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana said it is not necessary to go into issue of denial of sanction in this case. “The legal questions of sanction will be kept open to be dealt with an appropriate case,” the bench also comprising Justices Hima Kohli and C T Ravikumar said. In its verdict delivered in February 2018, the high court had said it has not found any procedural error either in the conduct of an investigation or in the decision-making process of refusal to grant sanction to prosecute. An FIR was lodged at a police station in Gorakhpur against Yogi, then a Member of Parliament, and several others on alleged charges of promoting enmity between two groups.

It was alleged that several incidents of violence were reported in Gorakhpur on that day after an alleged hate speech by Adityanath.

NSCN (I-M) reaffirms ‘one people, one nation’ (From p-1) Commenting on delay of Naga solution, Tuccu said NSCN would not settle for any solution outside August 3, 2015 Framework Agreement and added that NSCN would never compromise the rights of the Naga people.

He said many people were complaining and even asking the NSCN to compromise the rights of the Nagas. However, Tuccu said “tomorrow this same people” would “spit on us, accuse us and shame us for surrendering the rights”.

Tuccu then asked the Naga people whether they want NSCN to come back “empty handed after surrendering our rights to the Indians”.

Urging Naga people to be patient, Tuccu requested them not to be swayed by the “false promises of NSCN copy cats” but to stand with NSCN for Naga solution based on Framework Agreement.

Dialogue concluded on 3rd August 2015, says Tongmeth: NSCN vice chairman, Tongmeth Wang-

nao categorically pointed out that dialogue between government of India and the NSCN “successfully concluded” on August 3, 2015 and not on October 31, 2019.

He read out a sentence from August 3, 2015 Framework Agreement signed between government of India and NSCN which stated, “It is a matter of great satisfaction that dialogue between the government of India and NSCN has successfully concluded and we are confident, it will provide for an enduring inclusive new relationship of peaceful co-existence of the two entities.”

Referring to the Framework Agreement, Tongmeth pointed out that the dialogue concluded on August 3, 2015 and not on October 31, 2019.

He then quoted the last sentence of the Framework Agreement which stated, “The two sides agreed that within this framework agreement details and execution plan will be worked out and implemented shortly.”

ing NSCN nomenclatures, Tongmeth said NSCN was formed to condemn Shillong Accord and advised them to at least know the history and not to belittle NSCN to the status of Shillong Accord.

Tongmeth then asked them to understand the value of NSCN and honour it.

Acknowledging and honouring the sacrifices of the “Naga national movement” pioneers, Tongmenth said today Nagas would not be where they are had the pioneers not stood for the Nagas and laid the “Naga national foundation”.

Calling upon the “Naga national workers” to retrospect and be mindful of public outcry against “multiple taxation”, he reminded them that they joined the “revolutionary movement” and not for “personal prosperity”.

Tongmeth concluded his speech by saying, “One day or another, Nagas will be together free from all domination.”

In an introductory speech, NSCN speaker Tatar Hoho, Hutovi Chishi

accused Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs), Nagaland People’s Action Committee (NPAC) and Nagaland GB Federation (NGBF) of wanting to accept “solution without Naga national flag and Naga constitution, solution within Nagaland state and solution within Indian constitution”.

He said that NPAC’s recent memorandum to Prime Minister of India was based “only in the interest of Nagaland state” and that NGBF does not represent the “voice of the Naga people”.

Chishi also claimed that government of India formed NNPGs to counter NSCN as it could not convince NSCN leaders to accept solution within Indian union.

Stating that no group or organisations have Naga people’s mandate, Chishi said 1951 Plebiscite and January 24, 2005 mandate to NSCN were the only “legitimate mandates” given by the Naga people.

He then said that

Abduction and murder

T

here have been many killings along the AssamNagaland border that had taken place during the decades along Mokokchung or Wokha or Dimapur districts and some being of the most heinous nature such as a Naga woman who was buried alive near Golaghat sometime in the mid-90s. Incidents along Assam-Nagaland border have been highly volatile mainly due to the belligerence of the Assam Police which reacts mostly on the complaints or allegations made by those living along the border area and most of who are migrants settled to act as buffer. The 1985 incident at Merapani (Wokha) was the worst incident but its genesis had to do with acts of war by the Assam Police and the resultant consequent response of selfdefence by the Nagaland Police. The recent incident along the Assam-Nagaland border at Mokokchung is another of the many incidents where the Assam Police has shown total disregard not only for people from Nagaland but also for the very rule of law. A couple from Phom-Anaki village under Mokokchung district were taken to custody by the Assam Police sometime during August 16 or so. According to Assam Police sources, the person identified as Henveih Phom was held allegedly with some arms while the woman was released.

Details are still not clear but Henveih was lodged under Sivasagar district jail and the Assam Police did not inform their Nagaland Police counterpart and neither was the case referred to the inter-state border magistrates so that the rule of law was upheld. What happened is that on August 21, Henveih’s father was informed by the O.C. Assam Police of Geleki PS that his son was unwell and was asked to visit him at the Joysagar Civil Hospital. When the father rushed to the hospital, he was horrified to find Henveih’s dead body in the hospital corridor. Leaving aside the cause of death which can be explained in many ways; what is clear is that Henveih was in the custody of the Assam Police and that he was not released to Nagaland nor to his family members when he died of mysterious circumstances.

The custodial death of late Henveih deserves a highlevel judicial probe headed by a sitting high court judge to ascertain the facts and bring those responsible to book. A victim may die of heart attack or even some organ failure. But it is important to ascertain what had caused the heart attack or even organ failure? Simply explaining that death was due to heart failure can never be acceptable but rather it only exposes utter criminality on the part of those who are trying to shield themselves. It may also be recalled that in recent years there have been many similar acts such as on June 29, 2009 when Assam Police were accused of killing of two persons along the border between Dimapur and Karbi Anglong. Later, in 2012 the dead bodies of two females from Nagaland was discovered between Mariani and Titabar in Assam. According to reports then, the two females from Longleng had reportedly gone to do some marketing in Assam. Such cases have not been solved despite mounting pressure from Nagaland side. Such incidents do not help boost confidence of people from Nagaland side on the law enforcement agency from the other state. At a time when the border disputes in the region are being pursued through mutual dialogue, such incidents only negate the environment. The state government has to raise the issue and make it clear to Assam that such incidents especially committed by the police will not be tolerated.

DailyDevotion Are You Ever Troubled?

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you…

—John 14:27

There are times in our lives when our peace is based simply on our own ignorance. But when we are awakened to the realities of life, true inner peace is impossible unless it is received from Jesus. When our Lord speaks peace, He creates peace, because the words that He speaks are always “spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63). Have I ever received what Jesus speaks? “…My peace I give to you…”— a peace that comes from looking into His face and fully understanding and receiving His quiet contentment.

Are you severely troubled right now? Are you afraid and confused by the waves and the turbulence God sovereignly allows to enter your life? Have you left no stone of your faith unturned, yet still not found any well of peace, joy, or comfort? Does your life seem completely barren to you? Then look up and receive the quiet contentment of the Lord Jesus.

Reflecting His peace is proof that you are right with God, because you are exhibiting the freedom to turn your mind to Him. If you are not right with God, you can never turn your mind anywhere but on yourself.

Allowing anything to hide the face of Jesus Christ from you either causes you to become troubled or gives you a false sense of security.

With regard to the problem that is pressing in on you right now, are you “looking unto Jesus” (Hebrews 12:2) and receiving peace from Him? If so, He will be a gracious blessing of peace exhibited in and through you. But if you only try to worry your way out of the problem, you destroy His effectiveness in you, and you deserve whatever you get. We become troubled because we have not been taking Him into account. When a person confers with Jesus Christ, the confusion stops, because there is no confusion in Him. Lay everything out before Him, and when you are faced with difficulty, bereavement, and sorrow, listen to Him say, “Let not your heart be troubled…”

(John 14:27).

Post-mortem

90 year unresolved British-Indo-Naga issue more important than elections: WC, NNPGs

W

C, NNPGs recalls the nationalist spirit of the 2000 Naga Labour Corp members who returned from Europe after WWI and formed the Naga Club in 1918; The signatories of 10th January 1929 Memorandum to British Statutory Commission to Naga Hills led by Neihu Angami Hd. Interpreter, Gepo Kacha Naga, Nizhevi Sema, Apomo Lotha, Resilo Rengma, Lenjang Kuki etc.; The NNC stalwarts like T Imti Aliba Ao first President, T Sakhrie Angami, Mhondamo Kithan, A.Z Phizo, Tolhopu Sema, Kughato Sukhai and host of other Naga nationalists.

These pioneers inspire us from their silent graves.

Naga political and historical position is strong because of what they did yesterday.

Today, the opposition less government in Nagaland is creating so much friction within Naga tribes.

The GoI is being misinformed on matters on the ground. The overwhelming demand of the people for early solution is being ignored. The narrative is shrewdly being manipulated to electoral narrative

B

from political solution.

Government of India (GoI) representatives and inner circle of Nagaland’s elected representatives are visibly saying one thing one day and doing the opposite the next day, playing havoc with the sentiment of the Naga people.

The four point resolution adopted by sixty MLAs on 16th July 2022 gave a clear lucid signal to the GoI that the Naga tribes, state government, apex civil societies and common people were prepared for a political solution.

However, the resolution was not meant to officially reach the PMO or the office of Hon’ble Home Minister of India.

It was a mere exercise to fool the Naga people. On 26th July 2022, the NDPP and BJP betrayed the Naga people with a 40-20 prepoll alliance.

On 5th August 2022, a mammoth really was held at Dimapur for early Indo-Naga solution, organised by Nagaland People’s Action Committee (NPAC) under NGBF platform and endorsed by 37 Naga Civil Societies.

Shockingly, some elected

members pressurised their own tribal bodies to desist from attending the rally for Naga political solution! A stab on the Naga people’s dream. Apparently, the effort of CM Rio, too, is to keep the ninety year old BRITISH-INDO-NAGA conflict in the backburner and wear a CM crown for another five years partnering the BJP. The silver lining is, Nagas know that the Honorable Prime Minister of India Mr.Narendra Modi is a decisive leader, not one to sacrifice a nation’s pride for an individual’s little political game. One hopes, he would not succumb to such temptations primarily because Nagas believe that it has been his personal mission to amicably and honourably solve the decades old Indo-Naga issue during his time. He has assured the Naga people a number of times and Naga tribes still have faith in his leadership.

The GoI, under the Leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi concluded talks with NSCN (IM) with the signing of FA on 3rd Aug. 2015.

The same GoI leader-

ship officially invited WC, NNPGs to begin political negotiations by signing ‘AGREED POSITION’ on 17th November 2017. All entities concluded talks on 31st October 2019.

Clearly differentiating between illusion and reality; sentimentalism and practical geo-political surroundings, WC, NNPGS took the apex tribal bodies into confidence and negotiated with GOI. There is no question of negotiating for Nagas of Nagaland alone.

It is for propagandists to whine on. WC prays for them to wake up to reality. Sufficient political and administrative realignments for Nagas and their ancestral land in the state of Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam is mutually agreed in principle.

WC,NNPGs have cordially met the Ahoms, Meiteis and other communities creating a better understanding with Naga neighbours.

Pending integration of Naga areas, GoI will reserve appropriate space and position for the NAGA FLAG, respecting and honouring the Naga political sentiment. For the Naga constitution, Naga tribes will endorse leaders with

depute trusted interlocutor Mr. R.N Ravi to interlocute with the Naga groups.

The same Hon’ble Prime Minister is still at the helm, he began the talks, he must conclude it.

Why begin something if it cannot be concluded? Naga people and their history cannot be held hostage for cheap political gains for cheap selfish leaders.

However “It is time to settle Naga Political solution and not Election”.

It is time for GoI to be forthcoming. If a negotiated solution is to be kept undeclared and prolonged, disrespecting and hurting the Naga people’s sentiment, the aggrieved Nagas have every right to revert back to pre-independent India position and status of 1929 memo.

The right to self-determination is not an exclusive right of strong and powerful nations alone.

Every struggling agrarian nation, big or small, possess its proud historical and political right to selfdetermine its own future in consonance with its distinct history and identity.

God bless Nagaland!

All bodies are good bodies: A reminder

ody Shaming has become a common thing which affects the lives of many young people today. Receiving unfavourable remarks about one’s appearance might influence how one can feel about one’s body and cause anxiety, embarrassment, and self-consciousness.

However, there are strategies for handling criticism and gaining body acceptance.

Body shaming is the act of degrading someone by using unflattering or disparaging remarks about their appearance. Negative remarks may be made about a person if they are underweight or in regard to a particular body area, in addition to shaming someone’s body because of the size such as “Fat”, “thin”, “short”, “tall”, etc.

Many young people today are not satisfied with their looks and have being criticized by others or to one self. One may harshly criticize oneself if they are unhappy with their weight or physical appearance. Even worse, one can say things to themselves such as, “I feel so bloated today,” or “I need to quit stuffing my face with food”.

In today’s world we can encounter that due to the increase use of social media platforms, adolescents and youth’s are so much influenced by the beauty standards that they see in social media’s such as Instagram, Facebook, etc. Nobody is immune from external expectations to look a certain way and in any situation, comment about one’s body, which is unnecessary. Whether a person himself/ herself is the one who is body shaming oneself or someone else, there are solutions available. One

may cultivate body positivity and learn to view themselves with more empathy and openness.

Appreciating ones beauty and size is decreasing in today’s world which should be replaced by complimenting oneself or others to boost ones confidence Adolescents are so much more vulnerable to body shaming, weight shaming, and appearance-based shaming.

In the teen years or college days, ones attitude and beliefs about body image and selfesteem are largely influenced by ones family members, peers, and social media. One might think that only teenage girls are the victims of body shaming, but boys can also be affected.

They may be particularly concerned about not being muscular enough in relationship to the popular concept of masculinity. We find that, body shaming is most often about body size, but negative comments about any facet of a person’s body count as body shaming.

Some of the main reasons why many college students faced body shamming are: 1. Weight: One of the most common reasons that people are body shamed is because of their weight. Someone might be body-shamed for being “too big” or “too thin.”

2. Body hair: Many girls are very conscious about their body hair. Since hair grows in the arms, legs and private areas, many people have the idea that women should remove all of their body hair, or they won’t be “ladylike”. They are expected to shave. Girls with more body hairs are being commented and shammed.

3. Food: Food-shaming is generally done in relation to body size. Many young people are concern about their body size and scared of body shamming that, the intake of food is being chosen accordingly not realizing the healthy or unhealthy food.

They are concern with other people’s remark on the quantity and the item they eat. Some even comment on example like, “They look like they don’t need to be eating that” which is an example of food- shaming. One can also food-shame oneself. For example, one might say, “I’m so fat, I shouldn’t eat this piece of cheesecake”.

4. Age: Ageism/age-shaming is discrimination or bullying towards people because of their age. This usually focuses on the elderly or the older population.

Age shaming may sound like, “They’re too old to wear that much makeup.” Making negative comments about someone’s wrinkles or loose skin is another form of body- shaming.

This is the time where one should emphasize importance on how one can turn body shaming in a positive way especially those victims who have faced this situation.

In past few years, it has become clear that efforts are being made to shift the emphasis away from body shaming and toward more acceptance and appreciation of one’s appearance. Bodypositive hashtags have been used by social media sites to increase their followings and combat deeply ingrained stereotypes based on looks. The pursuit of acceptance of oneself and others is the goal of body positivity.

Learning self- compassion and

impeccable knowledge of ancient traditions, customs, usages with historical and social bearings to be incorporated with modern constitutional structures.

Upon the premise of these practical and realistic understanding of the matters, negotiated and agreed in principle, the NSCN IM too have said that the ball is in the court of the GoI. WC, NNPGs is crystal clear that it is by the time for GoI to take a decision.

Anti-solution elements hijacking Naga political solution for personal aggrandizement shall be solely responsible for any eventuality. NNPGs will adhere to the pioneering revolutionary leaders and respond to anti-solution elements as deemed appropriate.

The antagonists should understand that the delay is neither in the interest of GoI nor of Nagas. The question to Honorable Prime Minister of India is, If the GoI was not determined to solve the Naga issue, why was official invitation extended to Naga entities? The Hon’ble Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi had the courage and guts to

he Naga National workers from Nagaland state comprising sixteen (16) regions, do hereby adopt the following resolution for a unified Nagalim: 1. We do acknowledge the inalienable political foundation laid down by the founding leaders on the basis of the Naga plebiscite of 16th May 1951, and further, reaffirm the principle and commitment of one People one Nation.

2. We reject any kind of divisive and repressive policies

perpetrated upon the Nagas by the adversaries and its collaborators on the basis of the arbitrary administrative boundaries.

3. We firmly believe, profess and stand by the Framework Agreement signed on 3rd Aug 2015 for an early honourable and acceptable solution as two sides have already agreed to work out the details on the competencies.

4. Any solution that disregard historical and political rights of the Nagas by repeating the act of another Naga

Peoples Convention (NPC) and imposing its will upon us is not acceptable.

5. As necessitated by the situation, the house does reiterate its stand by the decision of National Assembly held on 31st May 2022, to uphold and protect Nagas Unique history and National principle at any cost under the leadership of Chairman Ino Q. Tuccu Vice Chairman Ino Tongmeth Wangnao, and General Secretary Ino. Th. Muivah.

Kuknalim

changing ingrained cultural ideas take time and effort. One can modify their all-or-nothing mindset and begin to see themselves as a whole person, but one cannot control what other people say or do.

There are some simple steps where we can overcome body shaming. It is necessary to develop self one and substitute critical self talk. It is very important to control how we used social media and manage our time and socialized over food with friends and loved ones.

Speaking with a trusted friend or relative for advice and assistance should be given importance rather than searching answers in internet.

We all need to stop bodyshaming ourselves and cultivate self-compassion as the first steps in defending ourselves from body-shaming.

It is important to keep in mind that, one’s health state is more important than how one look, and that should always be ones top focus. There will always be days when we don’t feel or look our best, but don’t let this undermine your feeling of worth or self-worth.

Young college students like me should be nice to oneself and understanding the self care is vital personal being. As Doctors advice us, we need to re -energize your body and mind, engage in physical activity, consume wholesome foods, socialize with people you care about, and spend some time outside.

It is very stressful to be the target of body shaming. One needs to strive for a healthy physique, which is distinct from our desire for perfection. We

can all improve one’s self-image by focusing on the good things about oneself rather than retelling oneself unfavorable things.

There is a need to promote body positivity to others and one’s own body. Confidence and acceptance of one’s own body is required for the hour. We need to avoid bullies who engaged themselves on body shaming in various ways It is important to help our fellow friends who are in need of friends if they are shamed by others. Tell them how much you value them and how worried you are about them.

Encourage and remind them about their wonderful sense of humor, how smart they are, their adventurous spirit, or highlight a particular talent they have.

One should not have to accept or participate in any activities that include body shaming, or tolerate such words or actions.

One would never want that to be done to oneself and one should know that it can cause real problems.

We can strengthen our care, compassion and connection with others and with ourselves by working on speaking kindly about our bodies and ourselves, as well as by identifying features in ourselves and others that we enjoy and value.

It can feel like a challenge to speak positively about our own bodies in a world where so much focus is put on what is wrong with us. But doing so is good for you, and it also prevents harm to other people.

Stop the misuse of social media

Circulating videos and photos including sensitive content without any regard for the people in the content needs to be curbed. The moment we receive a “forwarded” sensitive media should be the moment we stop circulating them any further. How do we feel when we put ourselves in the shoes of those, whose videos or photos are being forwarded “many times” on WhatsApp or other social media apps? We as civilized beings, need to be mindful and stay away from misusing social apps.

Loyalist to rebel: Azad’s journey in Cong

NEW DELHI, AUG 26 (PTI): Veteran Congressman Ghulam Nabi Azad, a constant fixture in the organisation’s decisionmaking process since the tumultuous times of Emergency, finally fell out with his mother party on Friday after a not-so-smooth relationship with the top brass in the past couple of years.

“The situation has become irretrievable”, Azad, 73, said in his parting shot to Sonia Gandhi, whose trusted confidante he remained right from the time of Sitaram Kesri’s unceremonious exit as the party’s chief in 2000.

Known for his ability to negotiate the challenging twists and turns of body politic, Azad was often sent by the leadership to fire fight any situation - be it a crisis in a faction-ridden state unit like Haryana or cobble up a new alliance and government in Karnataka with the JDS. But things were never the same between Azad and Gandhi after the summer of

NATIONAL

NAGALAND POST, DIMAPUR SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 2022

2020 when he headed the ‘group of 23’, seeking a leadership and organisational change. Observers say the relationship broke irretrievably after the Congress chief denied Azad, the sitting leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha, a renomination to the upper house last year.

Many an eyebrow were raised when Prime Minister Narendra Modi profusely praised Azad while delivering an emotional speech during the Congress leader’s farewell in Rajya Sabha in 2021. In return, Azad was also effusive in his praise for Modi.

Again the Congress did not take it easily when the Modi government conferred the Padma Bhushan on Azad. Senior leaders called it a political decision and not one on merit.

And ver y recently, Azad resigned from the post of head of the Jammu and Kashmir Congress campaign committee hours after he was appointed.

The writing was on the wall since then.

Azad’s exit was simultaneously a shock and a surprise to sections across the Congress, considering he was a key figure in the party’s decision-making processes through the Sanjay Gandhi days and the tumultuous times of the Emergency under Indira Gandhi, followed by the Rajiv Gandhi era, the Narasimha Rao period and eventually the tenure of the longest serving Congress president Sonia Gandhi.

Born in 1949 in Soti vil-

lage of Bhadarwah in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district, Azad made his way up the ladder in the Congress and went on to become the chief minister of his home state in 2006.

In his almost 50 years in politics, he has been a two-term Lok Sabha and a five-term Rajya Sabha member, besides occupying all top Congress positions and a union minister in all Congress governments since 1982. He also remained as two-term member of J&K

Legislative Assembly in 2006 and 2008.

Many Congress leaders term Azad’s move as an “outright betrayal”, even as the old warhorse kept both his supporters and critics guessing about his future moves following his resignation from all Congress posts today.

“Some of my other colleagues and I will now persevere to perpetuate the ideals for which we have dedicated our entire adult lives outside the formal fold of the Indian National Congress,” said the former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, who appears set for a fresh innings in the Union Territory where the election process has begun with the finalisation of the electoral rolls.

Azad’s name will be etched in Congress history as a quintessential rebel who raised a banner of revolt against the formidable first family of the Congress and even managed to bring 23 leaders together in a group called G23.

The G23, dissenters to some, preferred to call itself the reformist panel which sought meaningful organisational overhaul, an advisory role for the Gandhis and a new full-time party chief.

The letter G23 wrote to Sonia Gandhi in August 2020, under the leadership of Azad, laid the ground for the former minister’s eventual divorce from the party today.

Azad entered the political fray as secretary of the Block Congress Committee in Bhalessa in Jammu and Kashmir in 1973 to 1975 and moved up the ranks to become the president of the J&K Youth Congress in 1975-76.

He won his first parliamentary election in 1980 from Washim in Maharashtra and became a minister at the Centre under Indira Gandhi in 1982. He later served under all Congress prime ministers - Rajiv Gandhi, Narasimha Rao and Manmohan Singh. Azad was first given a Rajya Sabha ticket in June 1991.

AAP’s pre-poll promises like Chinese products: Guj BJP chief

CR Paatil

SURAT, AUG 26 (PTI): Gujarat Bharatiya Janata Party chief CR Paatil on Friday taunted the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its national convener Arvind Kejriwal, saying “a person visiting the state nowadays” was offering pre-poll promises that were like “Chinese products”, which one would regret buying.

The AAP has been making a concerted effort to widen its support base and take on the ruling BJP in Gujarat, where Assembly polls are scheduled by the year-end, and Kejriwal as well as other party leaders have been visiting the state regularly and giving “guar-

antees” to people, ranging from power bill relief to allowances to women and the unemployed.

“Nowadays, a person visits Gujarat and promises to give free electricity. But, he does not give guarantee that electricity will actually come. Such promises are like Chinese products.

You will regret it if you buy them,” Paatil said in his address at the inaugural ceremony of ‘Vibrant Weavers’ Expo 2022’ in Surat.

Attacking Kejriwal further without naming him, Paatil said, “That person person is trying to lure Gujarat’s youth by promising them 10 lakh government jobs. How is this feasible when the total number of government posts at present is only 5.5 lakhs. He even promises to double that number in the next five years, but does not disclose how he will do that.”

The BJP believes in overall development and that is why Gujarat is the number one state, Paatil claimed.

Adani group rejects NDTVs assertion of sebi nod Enterprises said in the regulatory update.

The Warrant Exercise Notice was issued by its subsidiary Vishvapradhan Commercial Private Ltd (VCPL) under a contract, which is binding on RRPR, it added.

The group also said the performance of obligations

by RRPR pursuant to the Warrant Exercise Notice will not result in violation of the Sebi order as “there is no, direct or indirect, dealing in any securities of Prannoy Roy or Radhika Roy” pursuant to the exercise of the warrants by VCPL and allotment of shares by RRPR. “VCPL, therefore, does not agree with RRPR that prior written approval from SEBI is required for allotment of shares to VCPL on the exercise of warrants,” it added.

On Thursday, NDTV had said the approval from market regulator Sebi is “necessary” for VCPL to acquire interests in NDTV’s promoter entity RRPR Ltd

land. This newspaper had also spoken extensively to NFR officials about the failure to get land for expansion to double track from Lumding to Furkating, which could have led to by-passing of Dimapur station from Dhansiri to Bokajan.

It said the GST invoice mentioned that the Areca nuts were local products and were being transported to Delhi. NPCC claimed that evidence of the misuse was in police custody. Pointing out that the government is a people’s government, and as a conscious political party, NPCC said it cannot afford to remain silent on such abuse of power and misuse of authority.

The party said that if Dr. M. Chuba Ao had any moral, he should have resigned

on his own.

Asserting that people of Nagaland were not all smugglers and in order to save the image of the Naga people, NPCC demanded that the government relieve Dr. M. Chuba Ao from chairmanship NSCM&CF Ltd. and enable police to proceed with the case against his misconduct.

While questioning the silence of the State government, NPCC said: “We understand there is fear in the nerves of UDA. We also understand BJP hides and protects criminals evident in their conscious release of rapists and even celebration of the event.” However, it said that if it were any other person particularly a Congressman, surely the ED or CBI would already be knocking.

Azad was a leading member of the G-23 or the group of 23 “dissenters” who wrote to Sonia Gandhi in 2020 calling for a complete overhaul of the organization and a fulltime, collective and visible leadership.

He said after that letter, he was attacked, vilified and humiliated.

The Congress, Azad said, has reached a “point of no return” as “proxies” were being propped up to take over the leadership.

The “chosen one” would be nothing more than a puppet on a string, he felt, calling the upcoming internal polls a “giant fraud”.

The Congress has lost both the will and the ability “under the tutelage of the coterie” that runs it to fight for what is right for India, he said. The former Rajya Sabha member said instead of a “Bharat Jodo” campaign - Rahul Gandhi will travel the country - the leadership should have gone for a “Congress Jodo” exercise.

The Congress said it was “most regrettable” that a senior leader quit just before the party’s big campaign.

MUMBAI, AUG 26 (PTI): Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday said the Indian economy will grow at 7.4 per cent in this fiscal and continue at the same level in the next fiscal as well.

“Our own estimates have also shown based on the developments, that we are definitely at that range...7.4 (per cent) and that level will continue even next year,” Sitharaman said, speaking at the FE Best Banks Awards event here.

She said the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank have projected India’s growth to be the fastest for the next two fiscal years, and their estimates are in sync with that of the Reserve Bank of India as well. The global situation continues to be challenging and it is not the right time to throw caution to the winds as yet, she said.

“Under your stewardship since 2014 and subsequently that of Rahul Gandhi, the Congress has lost two Lok Sabha elections in a humiliating manner.

It has lost 39 out of the 49 assembly elections held between 2014 - 2022. The party only won four state elections and was able to get into a coalition situation in six instances. Unfortunately, today, the Congress is ruling in only two states and is a very marginal coalition partner in two other states.”

Azad said since the 2019 national election the situation has only worsened. “After Rahul Gandhi stepped down in a ‘huff ’ and not before insulting all the senior party functionaries who have given their lives to the party in a meeting of the extended working committee, you took over as interim president.

MANILA (PHILIPPINES), AUG 26 (AP): A Philippine ferry carrying 82 passengers and crew caught fire as it was approaching a port south of Manila on Friday and at least 73 of those onboard have been rescued, coast guard officials said.

Search and rescue efforts were continuing after nightfall for the passengers and crew of the M/V Asia Philippines, an inter-island cargo and passenger vessel which came from nearby Mindoro island, the coast guard said.

A 44-year-old woman who was among those rescued was taken to a hospital with unspecified injuries.

“These developments demonstrate how authoritarian countries are disrupting and threatening the world order,” Tsai said.

Blackburn, a Republican from Tennessee, reaffirmed shared values between the two governments and said she “looked forward to continuing to support Taiwan as they push forward as an independent nation.”

China sees high-level foreign visits to the island as interference in its affairs

and de facto recognition of Taiwanese sovereignty. China’s recent military drills were seen by some as a rehearsal of future military action against the island, which US military leaders say could come within the next few years.

Along with staging the exercises, China cut off contacts with the United States on vital issues — including military matters and crucial climate cooperation — raising concerns over a lasting, more aggressive approach

Pak declares national emergency as flood death rises

ISLAMABAD, AUG 26 (PTI): Pakistan government has declared a national emergency as raininduced floods have so far killed 937 people, including 343 children, and left at least 30 million without shelter.

26/11: US court decision on Rana’s extradition pending for over year now WASHINGTON, AUG 26 (PTI): A federal US court has kept in abeyance for more than a year now a decision on extradition of Pakistani-origin Canadian businessman Tahawwur Rana, sought for his involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terror attack, to India.

US District Court, Central District of California in Los Angeles Judge Jacqueline Chooljian held the last hearing on this issue in June 2021 and the last set of papers was filed in July 2021. But it has been more than a year now and the court is yet to give a verdict on the US government’s request to extradite Rana to India. There has been no word from the court since then.

The US government has argued that India’s extradition request contains sufficient evidence of prob-

Tahawwur Rana

able cause on each of the criminal charges for which India seeks Rana’s extradition.

He has been declared a fugitive by India.

Federal prosecutors argued that Rana was aware that his childhood friend David Coleman Headley was involved with Lashkare-Taiba (LeT), and that by assisting Headley and affording him a cover for his activities, he was supporting the terrorist organization and its associates.

Rana knew of Headley’s meetings, what was discussed, and the planning of the attacks, including some of the targets. The US government asserted that Rana was part of the conspiracy and there is probable cause that he committed the substantive crime of commission of a terrorist act.

Rana’s attorney on the other hand opposed the extradition.

As many as 166 people, including six Americans, were killed during the attacks by the LeT members.

Because members of the conspiracy committed acts resulting in death with the intention of causing death, or at minimum committed those acts knowing its imminent dangers, there is sufficient evidence that the elements for murder would be satisfied, federal prosecutors said.

4 Indian-American women racially abused in Texas, told to ‘go back to India’ WASHINGTON, AUG 26 (PTI): Four IndianAmerican women have been racially abused and smacked by a MexicanAmerican woman in the US state of Texas who hurled racist slurs at them that they are “ruining” America and should “go back to India”.

The incident took place on Wednesday night in a parking lot in Dallas, Texas. The woman, who has now been arrested, is seen in the video identifying herself as a MexicanAmerican and assaulting a group of Indian-Americans. “I hate you Indian.

and to support Taiwan in line with our longstanding policy,” Patel said at a briefing Thursday.

Taiwanese Foreign Minister Joseph Wu told reporters Friday that “China’s motivation is to destroy the Taiwan Straits’ status quo, and after this they want to cut down on Taiwan’s defensive space.”

Taiwan is seeking stepped-up defense cooperation and additional weaponry from the U.S., along with closer economic ties.

In their meeting, Tsai and Blackburn underscored the importance of economic links, especially in the semiconductor sector, where Taiwan is a world leader and the U.S. is seeking greater investment at home.

All these Indians come to America because they want a better life,” Esmeralda Upton is seen saying in the video.

The video shows her telling the group of women to “Go back to India.

You... people are ruining this country,” the CBS News reported.

The video has now gone viral and sent shock waves among the Indian-American community across the United States.

The video shows Upton using racial slurs, and at one point physically smacking at least two of the women.

The person who posted this video wrote, “this incident occurred in Dallas, Texas after my mom and her three friends went to dinner”.

The mom is seen contesting the arguments made by the Mexican-American woman and requesting her not to make racial slurs.

At one point in time, the Mexican-American woman, who says she was born in the United States, is seen assaulting the mom and her other friends as well.

“Everywhere I ... go, you Indians are ... everywhere,” she is seen screaming in the video.

The abnormal increase in rainfall generated flash floods across the country, particularly in the southern part of Pakistan, which rem­ains inundated at the moment with 23 districts of Sindh being declared “calamity-hit”, the newspaper reported.

Minister for Climate

Change Sherry Rehman said on Thursday that a “war room” has been set up

by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif at NDMA, which would spearhead relief operations across the country.

She said that the incessant “monstrous” rainfall had “made it hard to carry out relief operations, especially helicopter sorties”.

“Pakistan is going through its 8th cycle of monsoon; normally the country has only three to four cycles of [monsoon] rain,” the minister said during a press conference in Islamabad. “Pakistan is under an unprecedented monsoon spell and data suggests the possibility of re-emergence of another cycle in September,” she was quoted as saying by the daily.

by Beijing. It also called in U.S. Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns to formally complain. He later said China was overreacting in order to manufacture a crisis.

Due to the separation of powers in the U.S. government, the executive branch has no authority to prevent legislators from making such foreign visits and Taiwan benefits from strong bipartisan support in Washington. China, whose ruling Communist Party wields total control over the country’s politics, refuses to acknowledge that fundamental principle.

U.S. State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel said members of Congress and elected officials “have gone to Taiwan for decades and will continue to do so,” saying it was in line with U.S. policy to only maintain formal diplomatic ties with Beijing.

TAIPEI, AUG 26 (AP): Taiwan’s leader on Friday said China and Russia are “disrupting and threatening the world order” through Beijing’s recent large-scale military exercises near the island and Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

President Tsai Ing-wen was speaking during a meeting in Taipei with US Sen. Marsha Blackburn, who is on the second visit by members of Congress since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trip earlier this month.

That visit prompted China to launch the exercises that saw it fire numerous missiles and send dozens of warplanes and ships to virtually surround the island, including across the centre line in the Taiwan Strait that has long been a buffer between the sides.

China claims Taiwan as its own territory to be brought under its control by force if necessary. Beijing has also boosted relations with Russia and is seen as tacitly supporting its attack on Ukraine.

LONDON, AUG 26 (PTI): In a historic first, Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II is likely to conduct the traditional ceremony to appoint a newly elected leader as the country’s prime minister at her Balmoral Castle residence in Scotland, according to a media report on Friday.

The 96-year-old monarch, who has been experiencing age-related mobility issues, is on her annual summer vacation in Scotland.

‘The Sun’ newspaper claims that secret plans have been drawn up for her to receive either former Chancellor Rishi Sunak or Foreign Secretary Liz Truss at her Balmoral base rather than make the journey down to Buckingham Palace in London or Windsor Castle in south-east England.

The new Conservative Party leader will be elected on September 5 and is then scheduled for an audience with the Queen the day after to be formally appointed as Boris Johnson’s successor at

Queen Elizabeth II

10 Downing Street.

A final decision on whether she stays on will be announced publicly next week because the outgoing and incoming prime ministers need advance notice, the newspaper said.

It would be the first time in living memory that the so-called “kissing of the hands” of the monarch by the leader of the majority party in Parliament happens outside London or Windsor.

“The Queen has now been advised not to travel,” ‘The Sun’ quoted a source as saying.

“But obviously no one tells the Queen what to do and ultimately it is her decision, and as we saw when she made a third appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony at the Jubilee she likes surprises. There are some parts of her role that Prince Charles can do on her behalf but the Queen is adamant that she appoints the Prime Minister,” the source said.

“It may not be the best choice to make the Queen travel 1,000 miles there and back for a 48-hour visit when the Prime Ministers can easily get to Balmoral instead,” the source added.

According to the report, when the Queen arrived in Scotland last month for a 10-week holiday she had hoped to make the journey south once the new prime minister is elected and her Windsor Castle residence in Berkshire had been earmarked for the traditional constitutional ceremony.

‘Hold Me Closer’, sings Britney #WelcomeBackBritney; say fans

S

inger Britney Spears’ fans around the world are praising the pop star’s return to music after she dropped her new single with Elton John.

Spears collaborated with John on ‘Hold Me Closer’, a new spin on his hit song ‘Tiny Dancer’.

The single marks the first music to come from Spears since her conservatorship was terminated in November 2021. Within hours after the track launched online, it already tops sales on iTunes across 29 countries, according to the news outlet France Info, reports Variety.

Throughout the conservatorship, Spears recorded music, went on tour and held a Las Vegas residency, but testified last summer that she was forced to work against her will throughout the 13-year court-ordered arrangement.

Spears’ legal battle continues, as the singer fights against her father, Jamie Spears, who oversaw her conservatorship, and her former business manager, Tri Star Sports and Entertainment Group.

Spears claims that her father and Tri Star took advantage of her finances throughout the conservatorship and has made damning

allegations about their alleged behaviour towards her, which she has categorised as “conservatorship abuse”.

The judge recently sided with the singer, ordering that her father must sit for a deposition this month, and ruling that she would not be deposed.

As Spears’ attorney, Mathew Rosengart, continues her fight in the courtroom, the singer has been enjoying her newfound freedom and marriage to Sam Asghari, while keeping busy working on projects of her choosing, including a major book deal and recording in the studio with John.

On the heels of ‘Hold Me Closer’ dropping, Rosengart issued a statement to Variety, congratulating his client, who he hailed as a “brilliant artist” and “iconic person” who has “been through a lot”.

“After our hard-fought

court battles and success in removing her father as conservator and then the termination of the conservatorship last year, I was inundated with inquiries about what Britney would do next. My response was simple: ‘For the first time in 13 years, that is up to one person and one person only: Britney’,” Rosengart said in a statement to Variety.

“No one should be surprised that her first foray is a smash success. As I’ve said all along, Britney is a brilliant artist and iconic person. It’s been a privilege working with her. She’s been through a lot. Regardless of what comes next for her and whatever she chooses, I am so very proud of her.”

Now that the single is here, the #FreeBritney movement, which supported the pop star throughout her entire conservatorship battle and has now started the hashtag #JusticeForBritney, is cheering on the Princess of Pop. The Grammy-winning pop icon has sold more than 100 million records throughout her career, with numerous No. 1 albums and singles on the Billboard charts, and ranked as Forbes’ highest-earning female musician for multiple years.

Anupam Kher shares his take on Bollywood vs South films debate: ‘They’re telling stories, we’re selling stars’

A

nupam Kher, whose film The Kashmir Files is the highest-grossing Hindi film this year, has shared his thoughts on why Bollywood films have majorly failed to perform at the box office while South Indian films have become blockbusters in the same time period.

The actor said that it’s because South films prioritize content while Bollywood films focus on stars.

Anupam’s latest film Karthikeya 2, which left

Laal Singh Chaddha and Dobaaraa behind at the Hindi box office, is a Telugu film starring Nikhil Siddhartha in the lead role.

Anupam praised the approach of South Indian films in a new interview about the film.

In a conversation with ETimes, Nikhil spoke about the need to keep a tab on the audience’s pulse to make relevant movies. To this, Anupam added, “You make things for consumers.

(Problem starts) the day

you start looking down on consumers, that, ‘we’re doing you a favour by making a great film. Now you are watching a great film.’

Greatness is achieved by a collective effort and that I have learnt by doing films in Telugu...I just did another film in Telugu, I did a film in the Tamil language, I’m going to do a Malayalam film.” The actor added, “I think over there, I’m not differentiating between the two but I think (their) cinema is relevant because they

are not aping Hollywood.

They are telling stories, over here we are selling stars.”

Karthikeya 2 is a mystery adventure film written and directed by Chandoo Mondeti, the sequel to the 2014 film Karthikeya.

The plot follows Nikhil’s Dr Karthikeya who is on a quest to find the lost anklet of Lord Krishna.

Anupam, who has a supporting role in the film, had celebrated its success in a post on his Instagram account writing, “Meri to nikal padi dosto (I am on a roll) The Kashmir Files ke baad meri Karthikeya 2 film bhi blockbuster hai!!

(After The Kashmir Files, my fil Karthikeya 2 is also a blockbuster).” (ToI)

‘Squid Game’ star Lee Jung-jae to reprise role from ‘Deliver Us From Evil’ in series spin-off

“

Squid Game” actor Lee Jung-jae is to reprise his role as a manic killer in “Ray”, a TV series spun off from 2020 Korean action-horror film “Deliver Us From Evil”.

Korean media sources report that Lee will star in and co-produce the series through his own Artist Studio company and Hive Media, producer of “Deliver Us From Evil” has been reached out for further details.

In the original movie, Hwang Jung-min played In-Nam, a former black ops agent who travels to Thailand to investigate an abduction. There he is pursued by Lee’s character Ray, a Korean-Japanese ruffian whose

brother had been killed by In-Nam. Both heavily tattooed and charming, Ray embarks on a bloody rampage of revenge. “Ray” is expected to develop the back-story of the seductively evil Ray, establishing how he became such a cruel killer and setting him up against other villains around the world.

Ace cinematographer Hong Kyung-pyo - whose credits include “Parasite”, “Broker”, “Burning”, “Snowpiercer”, and “The Wailing” will pick up the reins from “Deliver Us From Evil” and act as director of photography. Pre-production is reported to begin in 2023. No streaming platform attachment has yet been announced.

“Deliver Us From Evil” was released in August 2020, during a break in Korea’s pandemic lockdown measures and scored an impressive $28.9 million from 4.36 million spectators.

Lee is currently riding high as director-producer and star of “Hunt”, a 1980s-set espionage drama that debuted in Cannes. The film received a mixed reaction in Cannes, with several foreign reviewers calling it confusing. Lee has since re-cut it for international audiences, with a new version set to play in Toronto.

Almond, Soy, or Oat? New report lists benefits of Plant-based Milk alternatives

Even if you check the nutrition label, you may not have all the necessary information to make the healthiest choice for you and your family.

That’s according to a new nutritional analysis on the mineral content in single-base ingredient plant-based milk products such as almond, cashew, coconut, hemp, oat, pea, rice, or soy.

The report was presented at the American Chemical Society’s annual meeting.

The central issue that researchers focused on in the study is that essential minerals and components of dairy milk such as magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, and selenium are not required on the nutrition facts label in plant-based milk alternatives.

The analysis included 85 milk alternative samples. Mineral content varied significantly across different plant-based milk product types and between brands.

The key findings reported by the researchers included:

• Pea-based drinks had the most phosphorus, zinc, and selenium • Soy drinks had the highest amounts of magnesium • Only pea-based and soy-based drinks had higher levels of the four essential minerals than cow’s milk • Pea-based drinks contain about 50% higher levels of phosphorus, zinc, and selenium B e n j a m i n Re d a n , PhD, a research chemist in the Food and Drug Administration and principal K Y M C

What other experts have to say

“Just as there is wide variability in nutrient content in many food sources, it appears the same may be true for non-dairy plantbased milk,” says Lon BenAsher, MS, RD, LD/N, a nutritionist at Pritikin Longevity Center in Florida.

“It is reasonable to believe that plant-based milk such as legumes, pea, and soy have more mineral content than others due to its vast array of nutritional value.”

But believing is different from knowing for certain. “ W h e r e a n d h ow these products are sourced are key to identifying discrepancies in nutrients and breakdown based on mineral soil content,” BenAsher told Healthline.

“Ultimately, there should be standardization in labeling regulations that every manufacturer must abide by to reduce inequities and having all products on the same level playing field, this allows consumers to make the right decision for themselves and feel confident in their choice,” he said.

A my G o r i n , M S, RDN, a plant-based dietitian in Stamford, Connecticut, and owner of “Plant Based with Amy,” told Healthline she’s not surprised plant-based milk has more nutrients than we previously thought since the ingredients that these milk products are made from — such as soy — boast a wide array of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients.

Amy Bragagnini, MS, RD, CSO, an oncology nutrition specialist at Trinity Health Lacks Cancer Center in Michigan and a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, told Healthline that the topic of switching from dairy to milk alternatives comes up often in her

However, this is not a good alternative if there are nut allergies present.

Cashew milk Cashew milk has a creamy taste, which may be preferred over almond milk.

It is also high in vitamin E, lower in calories, and fits well into a vegan diet. But, cashew milk has a low protein content, so it may not be helpful to meet one’s overall protein needs.

Choosing plant-based milk based on your needs Gorin says when it comes to choosing the right plant-based milk for you and your family, she suggests looking at the nutrition facts panel and the ingredient list.

“For an ever yday milk, you’ll want to choose one that does not contain any added sugar,” she says.

Bragagnini offers the same suggestion: “When choosing one of these products, try to opt for the nonsweetened version, as it is important to lower intake of products with a lot of

added sugar.”

Ben-Asher agrees, adding it’s also important to choose the option low in sodium and low in unhealthy fats.

“I also like opting for one that is a good source of protein, meaning it contains at least 5 grams of protein per serving,” says Gorin.

“At this young age, children require adequate calories, iron, and protein,” she notes.

Formula One will have a new power unit from 2026 with the focus on sustainability and a more costefficient future. The Liberty Media-owned sport has set a goal of being carbon-neutral by 2030. The new rules will also bring greater electrification and the use of advanced sustainable fuel, with power unit manufacturers also subject to a cost cap from next season.

“We have decided to be a full electric car manufacturer and F1 did change the rules in a way that we can enter,” Duesmann, who was previously involved in Formula One with BMW when it owned Sauber, told reporters. Audi’s powertrain operations will be based in Neuburg an der Donau, near the carmaker’s headquarters at Ingolstadt, with a separate Audi Sport subsidiary being founded for the project.

Adam Baker, a motorsport veteran and former employee of motorsport’s FIA governing body, will be chief executive of the Formula One project.

German rivals Mercedes, who have won the

last eight constructors’ titles, build their power unit at Brixworth in central England with a team factory nearby in Brackley.

Porsche, another Volkswagen Group brand, is also expected to enter Formula One in 2026 in partnership with current championship leaders Red Bull. read more Audi were 13 times winners of the Le Mans 24 Hours endurance race before quitting in 2017 and the marque has a pedigree dating back to pre-World War Two grand prix racing as Auto Union.

It will continue to compete in the annual Dakar Rally, held in Saudi Arabia, with an electric prototype as well as customer racing with GT cars.

Audi did not put any figure on the costs involved of entering Formula One, or how much had been set aside, but said they did not need to make money with the commitment.

“We will spend as much money as we did spend for the other racing series before, so for us it’s not an additional spend,” said Duesmann, who said the plan was for a very longterm engagement.

“There’s a high likelihood of having an Audi powertrain in an existing car,” he added when pressed about the likely future partner”. “We won’t set up a complete new team. It’s much better if you start with an existing car.” Duesmann said the plan was to be ‘very competitive’ within the first three years.

for US Open title defence

Daniil Medvedev

NEW YORK, Aug 25 (AGENCIES): Top seed Daniil Medvedev will open his U.S. Open title defence on Monday against American Stefan Kozlov but faces major hurdles on the path to a second Grand Slam title at Flushing Meadows, including in-form Australian Nick Kyrgios.

W h i l e M e d ve d e v will not be looking too far ahead, fans certainly will at the prospect of an enthralling fourth-round showdown between the Russian and Wimbledon finalist Kyrgios who beat the world number one in three sets in Montreal this month.

The bottom half of the draw also throws up a potential mouth-watering all-Spanish clash between second seed Rafa Nadal, bidding for a fifth U.S. Open crown, and teenager Carlos Alcaraz, who last

year became the youngest man to reach the quarter-finals at Flushing Meadows.

Nadal, who could leave New York with the world number one ranking if he can lift a 23rd Grand Slam trophy, will meet Australian Rinky Hijikata in the first-round while third seed Alcaraz takes on Argentine Sebastian Baez.

Also standing in his way are seventh seed Cameron Norrie, the top-ranked Briton who faces an opening clash against France’s Benoit Paire, and ninth seed Andrey Rublev.

Greek fourth seed and Monte Carlo winner Stefanos Tsitsipas has never got past the third round at Flushing Meadows but may run into last year’s Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini in the fourth round if he can find his form on the famed blue courts.

NOPG 2022: Dimapur clinch gold in football

Correspondent

KO H I M A , AU G 2 6 (NPN): Dimapur emerged as the winner of the football events by beating Tseminyü with a score 4-3 during the final match played at IG Stadium, here on Friday.

Dimapur started on the offensive with a number of attempts within the first few minutes of the game as soon as the referee blew the whistle. Tseminyü also had its share of attempts especially a header from its captain, Yhunshalo Kemp, which unfortunately went over the crossbar. The first goal of the game came from Dimapur’s striker, jersey No. 11, Surhosul, in the 7th minute of the game giving the team an edge over their opponent. Within three minutes of the first goal, Dimapur’s stopper, jersey No. 7, Toka netted the ball with an impressive header doubling the teams score very early on in the game.

Players of both the teams appeared to be under pressure as they made some

avoidable errors. Dimapur team appeared to be the dominant team as they took possession of the ball for the better part of the first half. After the two goals, Tseminyü switched gears and restructured its line-up to tighten their defence.

The match remained uneventful for a few minutes owing to some injuries sustained by some of the players from both the sides.

Suddenly the stadium roared to life when

Tseminyü was awarded a penalty in the 34th minute of the game which was taken successfully by its captain, jersey No 9, Yhunshalo Kemp. The first half ended with Dimapur having the upper hand.

However, in the second half, Tseminyü made a strong comeback when jersey No. 17, Calvin Kent made an impressive header equalising the score in the 41st minute. Tseminyü could have bettered their

score when the team was awarded a free kick from the 16-meter distance however they could not capitalise it.

The relentless attack from Dimapur paid off when its player in jersey No. 9, Aloumai netted the ball from the D-box area bypassing Tseminyü keeper Tesinsen Kath’s stretched arms in the 65th minute.

The equalising score from Tseminyü’s jersey No 18, Ntsenlo Semp in the 69th minute came in the

form of an out throw which bounced right over the Dimapur keeper, Homuka’s fingers right into the nets.

Dimapur quickly retaliated within a few minutes when jersey No. 11, Surhosol, deflected a corner kick right past Tseminyü’s keeper earning himself the second goal and the fourth goal for the team which also became the deciding goal of the match.

The jam-packed stadium had very little time to rest as the exciting match kept them on their toes.

It was not just the two teams but even their fans started their own competition off the field by way of cheering louder than the other. Earlier in the bronze medal match, Peren bested Phek with a score 2-1 and emerged as the winner.

The special guest for the final match was Nagaland Olympic Association, general secretary Abu Metha while MLA and former speaker, Chotisuh Sazo was the match patron for the semi-final match.

FIFA lifts suspension on AIFF BWF: Chirag-Satwik assure India’s first men’s doubles medal

DECKS CLEARED FOR INDIA TO HOST WOMEN’S U-17 WC ZURICH, AUG 26 (PTI): World football governing body FIFA on Friday lifted the ban imposed on the AIFF after the Supreme Court terminated the mandate of the Committee of Administrators (CoA), clearing the decks for India to host the Women’s U-17 World Cup in October.

FIFA had suspended the AIFF on August 15 for “undue influence from third parties” and had said the U-17 Women’s World Cup “cannot currently be held in India as planned.”

The suspension, the first time in AIFF’s 85-year history, lasted just 11 days after the Supreme Court on Monday dissolved the three-member CoA, constituted by it in May, while modifying its earlier orders to ensure that India hosts the FIFA Under-17 Women’s World Cup from October 11-30.

“The Bureau of the FIFA Council has decided

to lift the suspension that was imposed on the All India Football Federation (AIFF) due to undue thirdparty influence,” the FIFA said in a statement.

“The decision was taken after FIFA received confirmation that the mandate of the committee of administrators that was set up to assume the powers of the AIFF Executive Committee had been terminated and that the AIFF administration had regained full control of the AIFF’s daily affairs.

“As a consequence, the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup 2022 scheduled to take place on 11-30 October 2022 will be held in India as planned.”

FIFA said it and the AFC will continue to monitor the situation and will support the AIFF in conducting its elections in a timely manner.

O n Tu e s d ay, t h e AIFF’s acting general sec-

retary Sunando Dhar had requested FIFA secretary general Fatma Samoura to “reconsider their decision of suspending the AIFF”.

“It is with immense pleasure that we inform you that the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India took up our matter and vide order dated 22.08.2022 was pleased to pass directions regarding the full repeal of the CoA mandate and consequently the AIFF having full charge of the AIFF’s daily affairs,” Dhar wrote in the letter.

The top court also postponed the August 28 elections of the AIFF by one week to allow a changed electoral college and the start of the nomination process. The AIFF elections will now be held on September 2 with the legendary Bhaichung Bhutia and former goalkeeper Kalyan Chaubey set to have a straight fight for the post of president.

TOKYO, AUG 26 (IANS): I n d i a ’s S a t w i k s a i r a j Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty on Friday created history by becoming the first Indian pair to reach the semifinals of the men’s doubles event at the BWF World Championships, thus ensuring a medal, here.

Chirag and Satwiksairaj beat reigning world champions and second seeds Takuro Hoki and Yugo Kobayashi 24-22, 15-21, 21-14 in a three-game thriller in the BWF World Championships 2022 quarterfinals.

Of India’s 12 medals at the world championships, only one has come in the doubles when Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa won women’s doubles bronze in the 2011 edition. ChiragSatwik, the Commonwealth Games champions, will now take on sixth-seeded Malaysian duo Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik in the semifinals next. “We’re so happy and excited. We want to finish this on a big note.

It’s a revenge match for us

I’m the right man for prez post: Bhutia on AIFF elections

NEW DELHI, AUG 26 (PTI): Former captain Bhaichung Bhutia on Friday cited his “credibility”, “experience” and his equivalent in cricket, Sourav Ganguly, to hammer home the point that he is “definitely the right man” to lead the All India Football Federation (AIFF).

Both Bhutia and Ganguly are iconic former captains of their respective sport and while the cricketer was born and brought up in Kolkata, the ace footballer shares a deep bond with the city, having spent so much time there while playing for Mohun Bagan and East Bengal in his heyday.

Bhutia threw his hat into the AIFF election ring once again even as former goalkeeper Kalyan Chaubey, seen as the BJP candidate, has emerged as the front runner for the top job. Both the former players filed their nominations on Thursday.

“Today what I’ve become is only because of football. I’m a Padma Shri because of it. I played for India for 16 years -- this is my moment to give back to my sport. It needs reforms with the ban happening,” Bhutia said during an interaction.

“I’m not new to AIFF. I’m working with the government and the sports ministry. The government is supporting all sportspersons.

Our PM is helping sports grow in India.

“I have the experience, the knowledge, and plans

Bhaichung Bhutia

for Indian football. I can do it. With so much negativity around, we need reforms.

Sportspersons are now motivated to enter administration.”

A decorated player with more than 100 international appearances, Bhutia added, “Look at Sourav Ganguly, he is an iconic cricketer and doing so well in cricket administration.”

Bhutia was all praise for Chaubey’s keenness to help the sport navigate its way through one of its toughest phases as an administrator, but reiterated that he can do a “much better job”.

Given a chance to run the AIFF, he said he will do his best to arrange substantial funding for all state associations, in order to organise regular tournaments in all age-groups, set up football centre of excellences across the country, and also use the training facilities to develop coaches and conducting advanced courses for the referees. He also said that regional languages must be introduced in coaching

programmes so that the ones aspiring to become coaches are not made to do it in english as they might not be fluent in it.

“I want to help the state associations financially, technically. We need both long-term and shortterm goals.”

Though he had once contested the legislative elections and also floated a political party in his native state of Sikkim, Bhutia said he does not belong to any big national party, and it can help him in managing football administration better.

“See, whenever there were big politicians at the helm you would hear one state saying he belongs to my party, he belongs to another. But with me, I can go to any state without any issues, because I am not affiliated to a big national political party.

“Our priority should be to produce players, we need to play the World Cup on merit and not just as hosts.

We have to make sure that football is the winner.

“Let me and Kalyan sit

and have a discussion, and the media can also be part of it and then decided who is the better man to lead Indian football. Let’s not make this election political,” he said.

“Let’s not get politics involved and destroy this beautiful sport.”

To buttress his belief that he is good at administration, Bhutia also cited his experience as an advisor at the Sikkim Football Association, besides running of the United Sikkim club for nearly two decades.

One of the country’s greatest players, the 45-yearold concluded by saying, “I can change Indian football for good. I have the credibility, I am competent. It’s definitely a challenge, but not impossible.”

Rajasthan Football Association president Manvendra Singh, a Congress politician and a former Lok Sabha MP, is backing Bhutia’s candidature along with Andhra Pradesh FA president Gopalkrishna Kosaraju, who on Friday withdrew his nomination for the treasurer’s post in the AIFF elections slated for September 2.

Manvendra alleged that Karnataka FA chief N A Harris has bullied Kosaraju into withdrawing his candidature.

Both Manvendra and Kosaraju claimed that Harris also wanted Telangana’s GP Palguna, also a former India player, to pull out of the race for the vice president’s post.

tomorrow, we’ve never beaten them (Aaron Chia/Soh Wooi Yik). We just want to go there and enjoy the pressure. It’s going to be a big match,” Rankireddy told the BWF website. However, the other Indian pair M.R Arjun and Dhruv Kapila, who became the first Indian men’s

doubles pair to make the quarterfinals at the World Championships, bowed out after losing 8-21, 14-21 to third-seeded Indonesian veterans Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan.

Later, in the men’s singles, H.S Prannoy also fell short of assuring himself a

Basketball: India lose to Jordan in Asian qualifiers

Sure of Virat Kohli, KL Rahul getting back to form at the right time for India: Saba Karim

AMMAN (JORDAN), AUG 26 (IANS): The Indian men’s basketball team lost 64-80 to Jordan in Group E of the second round of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 Asian Qualifiers at the Prince Hamza Hall, here.

Amarendra Nayak was India’s best performer, scoring 15 points while Dar Tucker led the way for Jordan with 18 points on Thursday night.

India’s Pranav Prince opened the scoring in the game with a dunk in the very first minute. It set the tone as Seijin Mathew and Muin Bek Hafeez also scored to help India to an early 13-8 lead. Jordan found their rhythm towards the end of the quarter and levelled it up at 17-17.

In the early parts of the second quarter, the Indian hoopsters went toeto-toe with Jordan but the host’s superior quality ensured that they led 40-27 by half-time, an olympics.com report said.

Jordan never gave up their lead thereafter and despite a late fightback from India in the final quarter, the gap proved to be too big to close as India went down.

The Indian basketball team will next face Lebanon on August 29 at home in the indoor Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru.

NEW DELHI, AUG 26 (IANS): Saba Karim, the former India wicketkeeper-batter and ex-member of the senior selection committee, said he was highly optimistic about right-handed batters Virat Kohli and KL Rahul getting back to finding form at the right time for the side after the duo go through “2-3 good practice sessions”.

Both Kohli and Rahul are coming back to India’s T20I side for the Asia Cup. But the challenge for the duo is to adapt themselves to the new, attacking approach with the bat India has embraced whenever the duo were not featuring regularly since last year’s T20 World Cup in the UAE. In the past, both Rahul and Kohli have been known for being slow starters in the shortest format of the game though the latter did show signs of adapting to that approach during the two T20Is he played against England in July, going for his shots right from the word go before falling cheaply.

“My top order is captain Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli.

And I’m backing experience to do well against a big team like Pakistan and also in an important tournament like Asia Cup. I can understand that Virat

first medal as he lost 19-21, 21-6, 21-18 to China’s Zhao Jun Peng.

Prannoy, who had beaten former World Champion Kento Momota and Commonwealth Games gold medallist Lakshya Sen in the preceding rounds, fought hard to take the first

game and after losing a slew of points in the second, he decided to conserve his energy for the crucial decider.

In the third game, both players were evenly matched until 11-11 but the Indian shuttler committed a few unforced errors to allow Jun Peng to win seven of the next nine points and take an 18-13 lead. The 30-year-old Prannoy fought back with some sublime smashes and point construction to get the gap down to 19-17 and later at 20-18. But Zhao Jun Peng held his nerves and hit a cross-court smash to put Indian on the wrong foot and finished it off with an easy winner.

“He started to play better from the second game and in the first half of the third game he was able to move swiftly, better than me, and catch the shuttle high,” said Prannoy. “It’s a good tournament for me. I would’ve loved to be on the podium, but that’s how it is.

Some days you need to work a bit harder,” he added.

KL Rahul, Saba Karim and Virat Kohli.

Kohli has struggled with form.”

“KL Rahul, would love to see him get more runs but I still feel that both Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, if they undergo 2-3 good practice sessions, I’m sure they’ll get back to form at the right time for India,” said Karim on ‘Sports Over The Top show’ on Sports18.

Karim fur ther remarked that he sees the option of Suryakumar Yadav being used as a floater in India’s playing eleven for the versatility he brings in to the side.

Apart from possessing a range of shots against p a c e r s a n d s p i n n e r s, Suryakumar can excel in any role, seen from his 117 against England coming at number four or his sparkling 76 against West Indies as an opener.

“Suryakumar Yadav is such a multi-dimension-

al player, I can keep him as a floater. I can push him up the order, if my two openers bat say till the 7th-8th over, I can push in SKY then. Or in case it is required, I can also push him down the order because he’s such a player who can give me value at whatever number he bats and I’m looking at my 4-56 as floaters.”

Karim signed off by stating he would keep Rishabh Pant’s role flexible in the eleven due to his left-handedness, which is a rare scene in India’s right-handed heavy main batting order.

“I will in fact keep Rishabh Pant very handy.

Because if I feel that I need to push in a left-hander at the top of the order, I can do that as well. But as of now my fixed three positions at the top would be Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli.”
