IMPHAL, NOV 13: Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI), which is spearheading the current agitation in the state, Wednesday contended that it is not convinced by the repeated verbal assurances of the government not to harm Manipur’s integrity unless the assurance is in written form.

COCOMI’s reaction comes a day after Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh reiterated the commitment given by Union Home Minister Amit Shah that Manipur’s integrity will not be harmed by the final settlement of the Naga political issue. COCOMI coordinator Sunil Karam said that similar verbal assurances have been given multiple times by both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

Addressing a press conference at UCM office in Imphal, Karam said they will not suspend the ongoing alert protests until and unless the Centre gives a written assurance and the state government declares it by taking all responsibility if Centre-NSCN (I-M) peace deal affects Manipur He said that the details of the agreed points of the last round of peace negotiation was yet to be made public and the state government has not able to obtain the details from the Centre till date.

just rely on the verbal assurance conveyed to the chief minister by Union Home minster.

Meanwhile, as a part of its new strategy to mount pressure on the government, COCOMI called for “lay siege” to residence of all the MLAs in their respective constituencies. In response, a handful of school students tried to gherao the residence of Wangkhem MLA K Meghachandra, which was later dispersed by police.

COCOMI is an umbrella body of several civil bodies of Manipur, formed to spearhead agitation orchestrating strong opposition against any outcome arising out of the final settlement of the Naga political

issue that could divide Manipur. The group has intensified its agitation demanding terms and condition of the recently concluded talks be made public and written assurance from the central government not to harm Manipur’s integrity.

Karam fur ther announced COCOMI will boycott the Manipur Sangai Festival schedule to commence from November 21.

How can festive mood be created among the people of the state in such a crucial situation, he asked and added that COCOMI will not review any of its decision announced earlier until and unless the doubts being felt by the people of the state is cleared by the Centre and state government.

CJI office falls under RTI, says SC NEW DELHI, NOV 13 (PTI): The Supreme Court on Wednesday held that the office of the Chief Justice of India is a public authority and falls within the ambit of the Right to Information Act. A five-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi upheld the 2010 Delhi High Court verdict and dismissed three appeals filed by secretary general and the Central Public Information officer of the Supreme Court.

Cautioning that RTI cannot be used as a tool of surveillance, the top court in its judgement held that judicial independence has to be kept in mind while dealing with transparency.

The bench, also comprising Justices NV Ramana, DY Chandrachud, Deepak Gupta and Sanjiv Khanna, said that only the names of judges recommended by the

Collegium for appointment can be disclosed, not the reasons.

While CJI and Justices Deepak Gupta and Sanjiv Khanna have penned one judgement, Justices Ramana and Chandrachud have written separate verdicts.

It said that Right to Privacy is an important aspect and it has to be balanced with transparency while deciding to give out information from CJI office.

Justice Chandrachud, who wrote a separate judgment, said the judiciary cannot function in total insulation as Judges enjoy constitutional post and discharge public duty.

Justice Sanjiv Khanna said independence of judiciary and transparency go hand in hand.

Justice Ramana, who concurred with Justice Khanna, said there should be balancing formula for

Right to Privacy and Right to transparency and independence of judiciary should be protected from breach.

The High Court on January 10, 2010 had held that CJI office comes within the ambit of RTI law, saying judicial independence was not a judge’s privilege, but a responsibility cast upon him.

The 88-page judgement was seen as a personal setback to the then CJI, KG Balakrishnan, who has been opposed to disclosure of information relating to judges under RTI Act. The move to bring CJI office under the transparency law was initiated by RTI activist SC Agrawal. His lawyer Prashant Bhushan had submitted that though the apex court should not have been judging its own cause, it is hearing the appeals due to “doctrine of necessity”.

M’laya Guv yet to receive ordinance

Correspondent

SHILLONG, NOV 13 : The Meghalaya government has sent the Meghalaya Residents Safety and Security (Amendment) Ordinance, 2019 to Governor Tathagata Roy for his approval, Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong said on Wednesday.

However, Roy told journalists that he is yet to receive the copy of the ordinance.

On November 1, the state cabinet had approved the amendment to the Meghalaya Residents, Safety and Security Act (MRSSA), 2016 that requires registration of all non-residents, including tourists visiting the state Tynsong said the government had sent the ordinance to the Governor on Tuesday for his approval.

“The Governor Secretariat office till 11 a.m. today (Wednesday) is yet to receive any papers from the government,” Roy told journalists.

Asked to comment on the Ordinance approved by the Cabinet which is aimed

Tathagata Roy (File)

to check illegal immigrants and to ensure the safety and security of the people of Meghalaya, Roy said, “Until I have seen the ordinance and draft of ordinance I cannot say anything.”

Earlier, the Deputy Chief Minister said that the ordinance is yet to be implemented in the state as the government is still waiting for the governor’s approval. He said the ordinance will be regularized in the next session of the state Assembly.

Tynsong said the state government will also have to redraft the rules for implementing the ordinance.

Though the amendment has led to major concerns among tourists planning to visit Meghalaya,

the Deputy CM said the ordinance is not to restrict people from entering the state but for the safety and security of all those who visit the state.

Noting that the amendment was not like the Inner Line Permit (ILP), Tynsong said the Ordinance is aimed at making registration mandatory for non-residents entering Meghalaya.

However, permanent residents of Meghalaya both tribals and non-tribals, as well as central government employees and paramilitary forces are exempted from the registration process.

“But a person who is not a resident of Meghalaya and intends to stay more than 24 hours in the state will have to furnish information to the government.

This is done for the interest and safety and security of all those who visit the state,” he said.

The De puty Chief Minister said that the rules will be circulated to hotels, guest houses and home stays to ensure that people visiting the state are registered with the government.

Earlier, Chief Minister

Conrad Sangma had also allayed fears and apprehensions about any harassment arising out of the Ordinance.

Sangma said the registration process would be designed keeping in mind the convenience of the tourists.

“We intend to make this registration process a very simple process. There will be four to five to maximum six phases that a person needs to enter and once he does that on a mobile phone he will receive a QR code that’s the registration process,” the Chief Minister said.

He said the system of registering may take an individual less than a minute.

“It is as simple as a person getting down at the airport and by the time he reaches his vehicle he receives the QR code. Hotels will simply scan the QR code. There is no question of standing in line or going to the Deputy Commissioners office to get the different type of papers.

Everything will be done online,” the Chief Minister added.

Meghalaya cop booked for harassing lawyer Shillong, Nov 13 (IANS): Meghalaya police have registered a case against its Sub-Inspector Habanjob Khonglah, who is accused of sexually harassing a lady lawyer, a police officer said on Tuesday.

However, police are yet to arrest the accused.

On Monday, the victim lodged a complaint against Khonglah with the Khliehriat women police station in East Jaintia Hills district accusing him of sexually abusing her.

Khonglah, who was an officer-in-charge of Lad Rymbai Police outpost, had been accused of sending inappropriate messages and showed his genital to the lawyer via video calling.

The victim alleged the police officer even touched her hand when she visited the police outpost for some legal matters.

“A c a s e h a s b e e n registered against him (Khonglah). He has been transferred from Lad Rymbai Out Post and Investigation is going on,” Vivekanand Singh, the district police chief told IANS.

IIT-Guwahati develops sensor to assess milk freshness

GUWAHATI , NOV 13 (IANS): The Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IIT-G) on Wednesday said its researchers have developed a paper-based sensor that can make assessment of the freshness of milk by a simple method and instantaneous.

Bacteria and other microbes that can grow in milk can not only affect the taste and freshness, but can also result in health issues.

Pasteurisation is commonly used to kill the microbes in milk and various tests are used to ensure the effectiveness of pasteurisation. Commonly used tests such as the methylene blue test, are time consuming; it could take many hours for colour changes to indicate presence and absence of microbes.

Commercial phenolbased tests require sophisticated spectrophotometers and involve multistep procedures, which necessitates dedicated testing centres and skilled personnel.

“It would be useful if the quality of milk can be tested at the point of collec-

tion of milk or even in the home kitchen, such testing requires easy-to-operate and portable detection kits,” said Pranjal Chandra, Assistant Professor, Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering, IIT Guwahati .

Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) is a metalloprotein found naturally in raw milk samples and is considered an important biomarker in quality control of milk. It is found in raw milk and is destroyed during pasteurisation.

Detection of ALP in milk can thus point to inadequate pasteurisation and perhaps contamination.

“Despite ALP’s recognisable detection potential in native milk, the multistep nature, and requirement of sophisticated bulky analytical instruments and trained personnel, to detect ALP, limit their use as a sensor of milk quality in remote settings and in home kitchens,” Chandra added.

The researchers have used simple filter paper, chemically modified it, and loaded it with a recognition element anti-ALP, which

captures the ALP present in the milk.

Upon treatment of the colour forming compound BCIP to the captured complex of ALP forms a bluegreen coloured precipitate, that otherwise does not gives any colour in the absence of ALP. The intensity of the colour indicates the amount of ALP present. The team used a smartphone to capture the image of the colour and used the RGB (Red Green Blue) filter in the phone to profile the colour obtained, which could be co-related to the concentration of ALP present in the test sample.

“Our sensor takes merely 13 min to detect ALP, and hence it can be applied for quick onsite analysis,” Chandra said.

The researchers successfully tested milk obtained from villages and commercially available milk samples using their paperbased sensor kit, and found that they could detect down to 0.87 units of ALP per millilitre of milk to about 91-100 per cent accuracy.

Manipur CM’s assurance fails to allay people’s fear IMPHAL, Nov 13: Police and protesters battled near MLA’s residence on Tuesday night as alert protest on Naga peace talks continued unabated unheeding to the chief minister’s appeal for calm.

Manipur chief minister on Tuesday called on the people and CSOs of the state to trust his government, saying the state government fully trust the assurance given by the Centre of not harming the state’s integrity while settling the vexed Naga political issue.

However, the chief minister’s appeal failed to allay the fears of the people of the state.

On the same night when chief minister made his appeal to the people, violent clash erupted after hundreds of people on torch rally targeted the residence of MLA Paonam Brojen in Thoubal’s Wangjing.

As the police prevented the protesters from further proceeding towards the residence of the MLA, the anguished protesters pelted stones towards the police which they retaliated with tear gas and mock bombs.

Police alleged that some protesters even attacked them with catapults while some threw meiras (bamboo torches) at them.

In the melee, a policeman and several protesters sustained injuries. Police

Talks on in right direction: Uddhav

MUMBAI, NOV 13 (PTI): Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray met Maharashtra Congress leaders here on Wednesday and said talks over government formation in the state were progressing in the “right direction” and a decision will be taken at an appropriate time.

Maharashtra Congress chief Balasaheb Thorat, however, dubbed the meet with Thackeray as a “courtesy call”, and said the fact that they were meeting was itself a “positive” step.

Thackeray held talks with Thorat, former state chief minister Ashok Chavan and senior Congress leader Manikrao Thakare at a suburban hotel.

The meeting, which took place a day after President’s rule was imposed in the state, lasted for about an hour.

“Everything is going fine. Talks are on in the right direction and a decision will be announced at an appropriate time,” Thackeray told reporters as he came out of the hotel after meeting the Congress leaders.

Later, when Thorat was asked if the meeting

was positive towards formation of new government, he said, “Our meeting with Uddhav Thackeray was a courtesy call. The fact that we are meeting is itself a positive development.”

Manikrao Thakare told PTI that the meeting was held to create an “amicable atmosphere” for further talks.

The meeting with Thackeray took place in the backdrop of Tuesday’s talks among AICC leaders Ahmed Patel, K C Venugopal, Mallikarjun Kharge and NCP chief Sharad Pawar on

Man who slapped NCP chief Pawar in 2011 arrested NEW DELHI, NOV 13 (PTI): A man who had allegedly slapped NCP chief Sharad Pawar at a public function in 2011 and disappeared during the course of trial has been arrested again by the police, officials said on Wednesday.

Arvinder Singh alias Harvinder Singh (36), was first arrested in 2011 but he disappeared during the course of trial following which he was declared a ‘proclaimed offender’ by the Patiala House Court on March 29, 2014.

Singh, a resident of northwest Delhi’s Swaroop Nagar, was arrested again on Monday.

Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar, who was then the Agriculture Minister in the Congress-led UPA government, was slapped by Singh at the NDMC Convention Hall in New Delhi on November 24, 2011, police said.

Police teams visited Singh’s native village several times to trace him but he quietly shifted to unknown locations. He was arrested after the police got inputs on his location, the police said.

“A case was registered against Singh at Connaught Place police station for assaulting Sharad Pawar.

Singh was arrested in con-

nection with the case and was facing trial,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (New Delhi) Eish Singhal.

However, he disappeared during the course of trial, the DCP said.

Singh, was produced before a local court and has been sent to judicial custody till November 25, police said.

Singh is also involved in another case of assault and was declared a proclaimed offender in that as well, he added.

A case was registered against Singh in 2012 at Parliament Street police station for assaulting a police constable on duty at Jantar Mantar.

He disappeared during the course of that trial and was declared a proclaimed offender by the Patiala House Court on April 20, 2019, the DCP said.

the issue of forming a ‘common minimum programme’ (CMP) for government formation along with Shiv Sena, Thorat said.

“The Congress and NCP will have to arrive at a mutual understanding and have clarity on specific issues for a common agenda, and then, if necessary, will get in touch with the Shiv Sena again,” he said.

The NCP has already named its five members for a joint committee to be formed for deciding a ‘common minimum programme’, Thorat noted, adding that

the Congress will also name its members soon.

He said the Congress expects to complete the deliberations fast.

Thackeray on Tuesday said the Shiv Sena needs a clarity on the common minimum programme just like the Congress and NCP, if a government is to be formed with their support. “ We h ave g o t s i x months. The Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress will sit together and work out a CMP. The Sena and the Congress-NCP have different views on several issues... they will work out and stake claim for government formation,” Thackeray said.

The Sena, with 56 seats, is the second largest party after the BJP (105). If it comes together with the NCP (54) and Congress (44), the three parties (with combined tally of 154) can easily surpass the majority mark of 145 in the 288- member House.

The state plunged into political uncertainty following the BJP-Shiv Sena tussle over power-sharing, though their alliance got a comfortable majority in the October 21 Assembly polls.

With Maha under PR, GAD asks for files MUMBAI, NOV 12 (PTI): A day after President’s Rule came into force in Maharashtra, the ministries have been ordered to hand over possessions to the General Administrative Department (GAD) by Wednesday evening.

The GAD order is applicable to all ministries, OSDs (Officers on Special Duty) working for ministers, personal secretaries and personal assistants.

They are directed to submit telephone bills and return identity cards issued to them to the GAD, the order stated. They are told to return official files, confidential documents, office stationary, furniture etc.

The Central Rule came into force on Tuesday evening, 19 days after the fractured mandate in the state assembly polls failed to elect a clear winner.

The BJP, which won maximum 105 seats in the 288-member House, declined to stake the claim to form government, as its alliance partner Shiv Sena (56) refused to lend support.

‘No need for govt to set up trust for Ram temple as one already exists’ AYO D H YA , N OV 1 3 (PTI): There is no need for the government to set up a new trust for the Ram Temple as directed by the Supreme Court because the Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas already exists, its president Mahant Nritya Gopal Das said on Wednesday.

Ram Janambhoomi Nyas is an organisation run by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP).

Mahant Nritya Gopal Das said in a statement that there is no need of forming a new trust. “The trust (Ram Janambhoomi Nyas) already exists. We can give a shape to it and new members can be added as per need,” he said.

Other seers associated with the Ram Temple movement expressed differing views on the establishment of the trust.

Mahant Suresh Das, chief of the Digambar Akhara, said that the apex court had clearly said the new trust was to be formed by the government.

“It is the responsibility of the Union government to set up the trust and not

of the Ram Janambhoomi Nyas. But representatives of the nyas should be in the trust,” he said.

Nirmohi Akhara chief Mahant Dinendra Das said the trust must be formed as per the directions of the court but expressed reservations over Akhara members joining it.

“Nirmohi Akhara is also a trust so the members will decide on whether or not to join the government trust,” he said.

VHP’s Triloki Nath Pandey, who represented the deity in the court, said, “The trust must be formed

by the government and must have have the members from the government.”

He demanded that Mahant Nritya Gopal Das be appointed the president of the government trust.

He said that the temple should be built according to the model proposed by the VHP and the stones prepared by the organisation be used in its construction.

“The government after forming the trust must raise funds for the temple’s construction from the Hindu community and government money should not be used for the fund,” Pandey said.

Air pollution: SC panel orders closure of Delhi-NCR schools till November 15 NEW DELHI, NOV 13 (PTI): Delhi-NCR gasped for breath on Wednesday as the noxious smog resulting from raging farm fires and unfavourable weather pushed pollution levels in the region towards the “emergency” zone for the third time in the last 15 days.

Clearing the decks

n a series of moves aimed at enforcing the Cease Fire Ground Rules(CFGR)- the Cease Fire Monitoring Group(with NSCN-IM)/ Cease Fire Supervisory Board( with other NNPGs)- has asked all the Naga Political Groups(NPGs) to close down their offices under different names within or around towns or villages.

The closure was preceded by meetings on October 29-30 convened by the chairman CFMG/CFSB with the NPGs in Kohima where the CFGR was reiterated and the NPGs were made to understand unequivocally that the rules had been agreed by them and they have to adhere to them in letter and in spirit. The state government’s undeclared policy of laissez-faire has been instrumental in the sprouting up of parallel authorities. As a sequel, the paramilitary, police and district administration under Peren district, have closed down offices and messes established within towns with the cooperation of the NPGs. The difficult task of enforcing the cease fire with NPGs was the way in which previous governments at the Centre seemed to be looking at the issue from a distance. The cease fires had brought peace much respite from the fear and bloodshed that plagued society when the guns did the talking. The endless negotiations seemed headed to nowhere. The NDA-I under Vajpayee and Advani were content with platitude. The UPA-I then UPA-II under Dr.Manmohan Singh appeared sincerely keen to conclude the talks but somehow could not figure out what to do. This was the hallmark of the UPA. Amidst all the endless and protracted negotiations and more often garnished with strong criticisms from the NPGs about the Centre being ‘insincere’, the promise made

by Dr.Singh to arrive at a solution during his tenure faded. The entire gamut in the negotiations underwent a major shift BJP under Narendra Modi came to power in 2014. With barely a year in office, Modi proved his mettle when the Framework Agreement was signed with the NSCN(I-M) on August 3,2015. This became the imprint upon which the contours of the eventual agreement for solution is expected to be signed in the coming days. On September 17,2017 another document was signed called the ‘Preamble’ with Working Committee, NNPGs. This too was to be incorporated with the final agreement that would be the foundation for solution. The government of India has remained on course in pursuit of a lasting peace in Naga areas and to ensure that there are no impediments, the CFMG/CFSB has been handed over a very challenging task of pushing back all armed and civilian cadres of various NPGs back to the designated camps. It may be noted that in the past and during the currency of the two cease fires-with NSCN(I-M) and NNPGsthe chairmen of the CFMG/CFSB were reduced to playing the role of note takers on various complaints.

The CFMG/CFSB today are no longer constrained to call a spade a spade and have moved from static and the status quo to sending a strong message that “it’s no longer business as usual”. The CFMG/ CFSB has been made to understand that the steps have to be undertaken so as to create a conducive climate towards ending of the negotiation chapter and opening of a new chapter to ink an agreement for arriving at solution.

DailyDevotion Faith or Experience?

…the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. —Galatians 2:20 We should battle through our moods, feelings, and emotions into absolute devotion to the Lord Jesus. We must break out of our own little world of experience into abandoned devotion to Him. Think who the New Testament says Jesus Christ is, and then think of the despicable meagerness of the miserable faith we exhibit by saying, “I haven’t had this experience or that experience”! Think what faith in Jesus Christ claims and provides— He can present us faultless before the throne of God, inexpressibly pure, absolutely righteous, and profoundly justified.

Stand in absolute adoring faith “in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God— and righteousness and sanctification and redemption…” (1 Corinthians 1:30). How dare we talk of making a sacrifice for the Son of God! We are saved from hell and total destruction, and then we talk about making sacrifices!

We must continually focus and firmly place our faith in Jesus Christ— not a “prayer meeting” Jesus Christ, or a “book” Jesus Christ, but the New Testament Jesus Christ, who is God Incarnate, and who ought to strike us dead at His feet. Our faith must be in the One from whom our salvation springs. Jesus Christ wants our absolute, unrestrained devotion to Himself. We can never experience Jesus Christ, or selfishly bind Him in the confines of our own hearts.

Our faith must be built on strong determined confidence in Him. It is because of our trusting in experience that we see the steadfast impatience of the Holy Spirit against unbelief. All of our fears are sinful, and we create our own fears by refusing to nourish ourselves in our faith. How can anyone who is identified with Jesus Christ suffer from doubt or fear! Our lives should be an absolute hymn of praise resulting from perfect, irrepressible, triumphant belief.

Post-mortem

NSCN (I-M) extends olive branch to other groups

T

he natural beauties of Nagaland are a gift of God to all of us the Naga and NonNaga living in the State.

Whenever we hear of Robbers, Killers, Cheats, dead Bodies of people or Babies found thrown away on the Roadside jungle, the land owners in particular, feel very unhappy and sad for things that spoil the beauty of the land. It is the wearer who particularly knows where the shoe pinches and how nice it would have been if the people living in the land were as good and beautiful like the land!

The Naga National Political Organizations adopted ‘NAGALAND FOR CHRIST’ as the Ethos of their Organizations. This is in very good tandem with the beauty of the land; however, traces of arrogance, of stiff-necks and even of superficiality, hypocrisy, falsehood and threats still besmear Nagaland.

The recent 9th Nov. 2019 of Eastern Mirror has, the “NSCN [IM] extends Olive Branch to the other Groups”. This is a significant Turning Point of the Organization in the right direction. Let me quote their statement: “We reiterate our stand that we have forgiven the past mistakes of our brothers and sisters in

different camps and that they should also forgive our past mistakes and be reconciled in the gracious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” [quotation ended].

The statement indicates the IM desires for reconciliation with the other Groups but the intelligent writings lack the true ring of reality. It is like the Japanese “Regret” while Korea wanted a “Sorry” from Japan for the latter’s actions on the issue of ‘Comfort Women’ of Korea during WW II. The difficulty in the hitch of the relationship between South Korea and Japan appears in the stand of Japan that the Issue has already been settled between the two Governments, while South Korea holds on the injunction of its Supreme Court. Perhaps, the issue has now gone outside into the domain of the UN! The IM’s stand that: “we have forgiven the past mistakes of our brothers and sisters in different camps and that they should also forgive our past mistakes”.

This is a stand that raises more questions than Answers. None of the brothers and sisters or even the IM, did not confess their past mistakes to the others. In any Reconcili-

ation process, Confession comes before Forgiveness and not vice versa. The Statement of the IM, reveals its silent desire, but sounds imposition and not of the call of graciousness of “Olive Branch”.

It is doubtful anybody would believe such an Olive Branch would buy Unity among entrenched ancient foes. If anyone does, he or she would be deluding himself or herself!

When anyone commits a wrong action on others and the Perpetrator ‘admits his action as unacceptable and prays for forgiveness’ from the Aggrieved, then Reconciliation follows. Thus, the formula for RECONCILIATION is CONFESSION, REPENTENCE and FORGIVENESS, in that order, and in no other order.

Exodus 32:32 of the Bible records Moses admitted the Idolatry of his people against God’s commandment and he pleaded with God saying: “Please forgive their sin- but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written.”

Moses knew the immensity of the transgressions of his people, he is prepared to give his life in exchange for the Forgiveness of God for the sins of the Israelites. Man cannot obtain Forgiveness from another fellowman

by gray rhetoric, much less from God. When a person prays for something from God, he must give God something precious in his possession.

Forgiveness and Justice may be personal and individual; national and governmental forgiveness are outside the domains of the personal and the individual.

The for mer Chief Minister of Nagaland, Dr. Senayangba Chubatoshi Jamir, former Governor of Goa, of Maharastra and lastly of Odisha -his life was attempted 4 times by one of the Naga National Groups- said he has forgiven the Group.

“Sir, that is the sign of a very good Christian, but personally I do not approve of it”, I said. “I would have preferred you said: “I forgive them personally, but the law of the land would take its own course”.

“Why has ‘Truth and Reconciliation Committee of Desmond Tutu of South Africa succeeded and Forum for Naga Reconciliation [FNR] failed in Nagaland?” I asked Dr. Terrence Gordon Rae of South Africa, Vice President, Baptist World Alliance in the after Dinner get-together when he came on an invitation for the inauguration of the 125th Anniversary of Khedi Bap-

tist Church, Kohima in 2010.

Dr. Terrence Rae told of an extra ordinary tense situation at the vast conference field, of the white Government Officials and of the native public leaders, particularly of a big number of fearsome Xhosa warrior Tribesman come exited and roaring in full war dance.

The Committee had earlier decided everyone of the powerful in the Government or in the Native population will have to disclose the WHOLE TRUTH his past deeds during the long turmoil in South Africa, only then would one be excused and pardoned, but not a single others who do not.

Dr. Terrence Rae said he sat nervous; fearful, apprehending some of the Government’s powerful Officers may be torn to pieces that day by the turbulent crowd.

The Chair man of Truth and Reconciliation Committee of South Africa Dr. Desmond Tutu asked: “Who gave the Order to shoot unarmed civilians?”

The whole Crowd went tense and silent.

The Police Chief of South Africa rose and said: “I gave the Order.” Then he asked: “Is there any African

Heart here which can forgive a white Man?” Dr. Rae told me: “The Spirit of Nelson Mandela pervaded the whole of the crowd, and everybody in the crowd shouted: “Yes, Yes, Yes”.

In Nagaland today, -until the socialist and democratic barrels of the gun are properly stored, it appears a need has risen for an Armistice between the IM and the WC. Both appear still searching for green pastures of rich business houses and shops in the commercial hub of Dimapur.

Just recently, the WC and the DNC [Dimapur Naga Council] had brisk exchanges of arrogant expressions, and like typical Naga reconciliations, a hasty made up of their differences [what were the differences?] as quickly as the Genies of Aladdin’s magic Lamp have vanished, was made.

Similar boundary disputes may arise at any time between the two Naga National Patriots, and we can not think of any suitable person other than perhaps, the Governor of Nagaland to be the Right person for the Chairmanship of the Committee of the Armistice for truth and reconciliation!

Ram temple provides substratum to India’s identity Ayodhya resolved, markets

T

he judicial resolution of the 70-year-old Ayodhya dispute has mitigated the most inflammatory cause of HinduMuslim divide in India and given relief to the average citizens engaged in pursuing their livelihood in peace.

The unanimous verdict of the Supreme Court’s fivemember Constitutional Bench recognising the spot under the central dome of the demolished Babri Masjid at Ayodhya as the birth place of Lord Ram for worship and giving the title of the entire disputed land of 2.77 acres to the Hindu side is a transformative development that yields a significant end result of the long search for validation of what is a major determinant of India’s national profile. The judgement rests on points of both law and fact but the apex court also invoked Article 142 of the Constitution to give a verdict of arbitration on two points- accommodation of Nirmohi Akhara in the Trust that would oversee the construction of a Ram Temple at the site and award of five acres of land by the government at a suitable place in Ayodhya to Muslims for building a mosque in lieu of their lost claim.

Both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat had called for restraint on the part of those who considered the verdict as their victory. While many Muslim leaders grudgingly accepted the judicial pronouncement, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board kept the option of a Review Petition open, claiming that the verdict was flawed. The main opposition, Congress, attempted to derive political mileage from the development by insinuating that the BJP will no longer be able to exploit the issue on communal line for electoral gain.

It thus tried to keep itself on the right side of Muslims while going along with the judgement. The overriding impact of a huge problem of national import being resolved through a credible judicial process has apparently injected political sanity in the responses to the judgement received so far. The democratic texture of Indian

state remains intact and this is an invaluable gain. It was clear before the verdict came that only one side would feel vindicated leaving the other with a sense of loss.

There are three substantive elements in the judgement however, that would give the Muslim contestants the consolation of having been dealt an even hand. First, the highest court of the land clearly pronounced that the Babri Masjid demolition was a violation of law since the entire structure of the mosque was brought down in a ‘calculated’ act of destroying a place of public worship.

Second, the judgement has after an extensive examination of the facts of the case recorded upfront that “the evidence... in respect of the possessory claim of the Hindus to the composite whole of the disputed property stands on a better footing than the evidence adduced by the Muslims”. The Court held that “the existence of an Islamic structure at a place considered sacrosanct by the Hindus did not stop them from continuing their worship at the disputed site.. within the precincts of the structure” as this “did not shake the faith and belief of Hindus that Lord Ram was born” there. It further concluded that according to ASI finding “the 16th Century mosque of Mughal Emperor Babar was not built on vacant land”. The judgement used the words “faith” and “belief ” here only to establish the fact of continuity of worship

by Hindus inside the Babri Masjid. The apex court pronounced that the three way bifurcation of the disputed land by the High Court was neither legally sustainable nor feasible in terms of sub serving the interest of either of the parties.

And lastly, the Supreme Court felt the Muslims had been wrongly deprived of a structure, even if its exclusive use by them as a mosque was not established, through means which should not have been deployed in a secular nation committed to the rule of law. Taking note of the entitlement of the Muslims, the Court

pronounced that a five acre plot at an alternative site in Ayodhya will be allocated for the building of a mosque.

This is not a gift of charity as made out by some Muslim critics of the judgement but a judicial recognition of the claim of the Muslim side.

It is extremely significant that the Supreme Court prefaced its judgement with the observation that “this Court is tasked with the resolution of a dispute whose origins are as old as the idea of India itself ”. As the world’s largest practising democracy India was being “secular” in terms of showing respect to all faiths and making no distinction of caste, creed and region amongst citizens in matters of providing development and protection of law. It was however, always clear that India’s civilisational legacy that made it an entity of its own was older than what the Prophetic religions had brought to the world just over two thousand years ago and that the great mix of colour they all provided to this land had to be kept from creeping into our electoral politics and corrupting the democratic system of equality for all.

Minority politics threw up a conflict-ridden domestic scene here as faith-based vote banks were sought to be preserved by their protagonists through a needless denial of the reality that India demographically was a Hindu majority country.

So long as the elections were fought here on the ultimate principle of “one man one vote” - the very basis of democracy - and the elected political executive governing the nation did not carry any denominational stamp, it would be ensured that the citizens had the freedom of religion and the right to pursue socio-cultural traditions provided they did not create disharmony and that political governance could remain above religion. India’s contemporary status as a democratic nation could therefore exist in consonance with and not in disregard of its Hindu inheritance. The Ayodhya verdict has given clarity to this idea of India. The Modi government has to be given

credit for patiently taking the path of Judiciary for getting the Ayodhya conundrum resolved in the face of mounting pressure from Hindu groups for facilitating early construction of Ram Temple through other methods. That the temple project will be overseen and monitored by the Government takes the communal sting out of it to an extent.

The Ayodhya conflict was creating a vertical divide in the country, between its two largest communities, and election politics based on communal identity was clouding the historical reality that India could live on as a Hindu majority nation offering a socio-cultural spectrum of its own but treating all its citizens equally at the political level.

In a democracy, a citizen lives in three dimensions- ‘personal’ that gave the choice of faith, ‘social’ that provided cultural freedom and ‘political’ that guaranteed the right to chose his or her representative in an election. Many parties have played minority politics for gaining power and done so in a manner that deprecated nationalism and progressively put such matters as respecting National Flag and National Anthem into question. The communities were pushed towards religious fundamentalism in the process creating a possibility that an adversary next door would be tempted to exploit the scene. India should ideally move towards a situation where Muslims will figure amongst the political leaders of Hindus and vice versa. Why should the communities be led by people of their own denomination in a democratic state?

The Ram Mandir resolution should help India to reinvent its nationhood by creating a new sense of unity. As Prime Minister Modi rightly said “fear, bitterness and negativity have no place in new India”. The state would at the same time be well advised to prevent any mischief that could be created by trouble makers within or by those guided from outside of our borders, in the aftermath of the Supreme Court verdict.

should settle down

M

arkets continued their upward march through the week but a downgrade of the sovereign outlook by Moody’s caused a break in the momentum. This was further compounded by it being Friday and weekend and also the fact that four important judgments were to be pronounced by the Supreme court in the latter half of the coming week.

BSE Sensex gained 158.58 points or 0.39 per cent to close at 40,323.61 points. The intra-week high was made on Thursday at a level of 40,688.27 points.

NIFTY gained 17.55 points or 0.15 per cent to close at 11,908.15 points. The intraweek high was 12,021.40 points, making the all-time high roughly 90 points away.

BSE Sensex is trading at an all-time high.

The broader indices saw BSE100, BSE200 and BSE500 lose 0.08 per cent, 0.15 per cent and 0.24 per cent respectively. BSE Midcap was down 1.07 per cent, while BSE Smallcap lost 0.93 per cent. The FPIs’ have been bullish and have been buyers on 75-80 per cent of the days and are investing about Rs 850-1,000 crore on a daily basis.

Dow Jones has also made a new lifetime high and gained 333.88 points or 1.22 per cent to close at 27,681.24 points. The many decades old Ayodhya-Babri Masjid dispute judgement was announced on Saturday.

The idea behind choosing Saturday was that it is a half holiday and would be easier to monitor law and order in case of any untoward incidents. Till the time of writing this article, things

have been under control across the country. The Supreme Court judgement was unanimous and it has asked the Central government to form a trust to construct the temple, while also directing it to allot 5 acres of suitable land for making a mosque.

Three judgements, namely the Sabarimala case, Rafael case and RTI, are to be announced between November 13 and 15. Moody’s has downgraded the sovereign outlook from stable to negative. This saw markets lose significant ground on Friday with BSE Sensex down 330 points and NIFTY 104 points. The Indian Rupee too lost significantly and was down 33 paisa for the day.

With Ayodhya case behind us, it would be fair that the markets get back to their previous ways. The expected new high on NIFTY last week may happen in the coming week or fortnight.

The week ahead would be the last week for results reporting season and it is widely expected that overall the season has been decent with the tax break helping in a large way. If one were to exclude the gains on account of the tax changes, results are still positive to a large extent and give rise to expectations that by the time the fourth quarter results of 2019-2020 are announced, the slowdown pangs would have been resolved.

In conclusion, with a major socio-political issue hanging fire for decades resolved, markets should settle down. Use sharp dips to build positions and a new NIFTY is on the cards in the current month if not earlier.

Reader’s Post

Sir,

Must be put to a stop

It is good to read that police have been directed to arrest those people who were touting arms during a private wedding. While the young couple might have been made to pose as such by others, it is very unfortunate that such things are happening even at weddings.

Gun culture started way back in Nagaland and became rampant during the late 80s when even state candidates began using guns to intimidate voters. Sometimes even VIPs used to shoot off bullets in the air to express their joy or celebratory spirit during occasions of weddings or festivals. Such habits which are not good must be put to a stop as Nagaland gears up to enter a new era of peace.

SC verdict on Rafale judgment today

NEW DELHI, NOV 13 (PTI): The Supreme Court is scheduled to pronounce on Thursday its verdict on petitions seeking a review of its judgement giving a clean chit to the Modi government in the Rafale fighter jet deal with French firm Dassault Aviation.

On May 10, the apex court had reserved the decision on the pleas, including one filed by former Union ministers Yashwant Sinha, Arun Shourie and activist lawyer Prashant Bhushan, seeking a re-examination of its findings that there was no occasion to doubt the decision-making process in the procurement of 36 Rafale fighter jets.

A bench comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justices S K Kaul and K M Joseph is likely to pronounce verdicts on three review petitions filed by the trio, lawyer Vineet Dhandha and Aam Aadmi Party lawmaker Sanjay Singh.

On December 14, 2018, the apex court dismissed the petitions seeking an investigation into alleged irregularities in the Rs 58,000 crore deal.

However, while reserving the judgement on the review petitions, the apex court had posed searching questions to the Centre on its deal with France to buy 36 Rafale fighter jets on issues like “waiver of sover-

File photo of Rafale fighter jet.

eign guarantee” and the absence of technology transfer clause in the IGA pact.

The bench had referred to a judgement in the Lalita Kumari case which said that an FIR is must when information revealed commission of cognizable offence.

“The question is whether you are obliged to follow the Lalita Kumari judgment or not,” the bench had asked.

Attorney General K K Venugopal had told the bench that “there has to be a prima facie case, otherwise they (agencies) cannot proceed. The information must disclose commission of cognizable offence”.

Justice Joseph had referred to the earlier deal and asked the Centre as to why the inter-governmental agreement (IGA) on Rafale with the French administra-

tion does not have the clause of transfer of technology.

“The court cannot decide such technical aspects,” the law officer had said.

On the court’s question of waiver of sovereign guarantee by France in the IGA and its replacement with a letter of comfort, Venugopal had said it was not an “unprecedented practice” and referred to such agreements with Russia and the US where there was such a waiver.

“It is a question of national security. No other court in the world will examine a defence deal on these kinds of arguments”, he had said.

Bhushan had submitted that the December 2018 judgement did not deal with the prayer seeking probe into the deal and decided the petition on the premise that

it was seeking cancellation of IGA. He had contended that the Centre misled the court by referring to non-existent CAG report in November, 2018 hearing when it is on record that the report came later in February this year.

Bhushan had alleged suppression of material facts from the court by the Centre and said that as many eight critical clauses of the standard defence procurement procedure were dropped in the deal in the meeting of Cabinet Committee on Security in September 2016.

One of the clauses dealt with the aspect that the government can cancel the deal if the information of any involvement of middleman comes to the light, he said.

He had referred to the news articles and said that three experts of Indian Negotiation Team (INT) had also raised the the objections to the inflated pricing of the aircraft.

Venugopal had vehemently opposed the submissions and sought dismissals of review petitions, saying basic grounds of these pleas were the same as in the main case. The government is under obligation to put defence material under cover, he said, adding that “when the security of the country is involved, you do not view it as a contract to build a highway or a dam”.

Myanmar Konyaks back KU declaration DIMAPUR, NOV 13 (NPN): Myanmar Konyak Union (MKU), apex social and cultural institution of the Konyak Nagas in Myanmar, has declared Konyak soil/territory within Myanmar as “a complete peace and non-infiltration zone” and resolved that all Konyaks would uphold and safeguard peace within its soil.

In a press release, MKU president Khotai Konyak, chief advisor to MKU, Khaomo, Dy. Angh, and Chief Angh of Longwa, To-Nyei Angh, stated that it was unanimously resolved at its advisory board council meeting held on November 5, 2019 at Yinchong Konyak Village.

At the meeting, MKU resolved to fully endorse the point No. 4 of

the October 30, 2019 resolution adopted by Konyak Union (India) at Mon town, where it was resolved that any elements or groups that encouraged violence and bloodshed within Konyak soil would be tagged as enemy of Konyaks.

Further, MKU has appealed to all Naga political leaders to respect and honour eastern Konyak people and their soil that had “once cradled every infant Naga political leaders as their safe haven.”

In tune with the KU (India) standing resolution, MKU affirmed that there should be no packages that divided the “imaginary border”, but instead the Free Movement Regime (FMR) be safeguarded considering the social and cultural integrity of

RH reiterates Tseminyu district demand (From p-1) “Rengmas were left behind others in all fronts due to the negative attitude of the state government towards the Rengma community,” RH alleged.

The hoho reminded the government that Rengmas have their contribution to whatever status the Nagas have today and all fruition of development being enjoyed by the citizens. Asserting that statehood was granted through political agreement, RH said the active participation of Rengmas on all stages of Naga political movement and development that enabled for the statehood cannot be ignored.

Further, RH affirmed that Rengmas should be given equal respect like any other tribe and should be allowed to grow and develop on the same foot of others. The hoho maintained that

Nagas cannot grow sensibly until and unless justice was delivered equally.

Describing Tseminyu district demand as a legitimate right of the Rengmas, RH expressed belief that the government was fully aware that Rengmas were “in a disadvantage for too long.”

It also expressed full confidence that the PDA government under the leadership of chief minister Neiphiu Rio would grant the demand of the Rengmas for Tseminyu district without further delay.

Hoho also requested MLAs irrespective of political parties to “consciously support” the demand of the Rengmas. “More than 50 years of negligence to the Rengmas is too long enough and if Rengmas were to be discriminated further there is no greater injustice than this,” RH stated.

the Konyaks.

Konyak Public of Myanmar have had also resolved to appeal the government of India to uphold and safeguard the social & cultural integrity of the Konyak Naga tribes.

Endorsing for early Longwa Summit, the MKU has declared that it would host All Konyak Summit at Longwa. The union stated that such assembly was being planned in order to uphold the customary rights and influences of the Konyak Angh System and norms.

Describing Konyaks of Myanmar and India as “one bonded with blood”, MKU has fully endorsed and supported the stand of the Konyak Union (India) in all its political, social and customary stands.

JLF welcomes successful conclusion...

(From p-1) The meeting further assured that JLF would continue to play the role of an active facilitator and extend all possible cooperation to ensure that the peace process was successfully concluded with the realisation of a political solution that was honourable and acceptable to the people.

Finally, JLF appealed to WC, NNPGs and NSCN (I-M) to sit across the table and bury all differences for the greater good of Naga people, besides appealing to other groups who were not on board to join the peace process.

The resolution was jointly signed by speaker in-charge Sharingain Longkumer, chief minister Neiphiu Rio, leader of opposition TR Zeliang, deputy chief minister Y Patton, Rajya Sabha member KG Kenye and Lok Sabha member Tokheho Yepthomi.

SC upholds disqualification of 17 K’taka SC to pronounce its verdict on review of Sabarimala today MLAs; paves way to contest by-polls someone contesting elections”. “We must be careful to remember that desirability of a particular rule or law, should not in any event be confused with question of existence of the same, and constitutional morality should never be replaced by political morality, in deciding what the Constitution mandates,” the bench said in its 109-page judgement.

The court said there is a growing trend of Speakers acting against the “constitutional duty of being neutral” in addition to political parties indulging in horse trading and corrupt practices due to which citizens are being denied stable governments. The Speaker, being a neutral person, is expected to act independently while conducting the proceedings of the House or adjudication petitions, it said.

The constitutional

responsibility endowed upon the Speaker has to be scrupulously followed and his political affiliations cannot come in the way of adjudication, the apex court said, adding, there is a need to consider strengthening certain aspects so that such “undemocratic practices” are discouraged and checked.

Regarding the maintainability of the petitions filed by the disqualified lawmakers challenging the then speaker’s orders, the bench said the writ jurisdiction is one of the valuable rights provided under Article 32 of the Constitution, which in itself forms part of the basic structure. Referring to a previous Constitution bench judgement, the court said, “We do not find any explicit or implicit bar to adjudicate the issue under the writ jurisdiction of this court.”

NEW DELHI, NOV 13 (PTI): The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the disqualification of 17 Congress-JD(S) MLAs in Karnataka by the then Assembly Speaker but paved the way for them to contest the December 5 by-polls on 15 seats in the state.

Mumbai, Nov 13 (PTI): The rupee nosedived 62 paise to hit an over twomonth low of 72.09 to the US dollar on Wednesday as poor macro data and lingering worries over USChina trade war weighed on sentiment.

At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened on a weak note at 71.75 against the US dollar.

As the day progressed, it crashed below the 72-level and touched the day’s low of 72.10. The Indian unit finally settled at 72.09 -registering a fall of 62 paise over its previous close.

This is the lowest closing level for the rupee since September 4.

“During this one year time, we will hire about 1,500 people in Assam to take our headcount to 4,000 employees in the state,” he said.

“Our credit-deposit ratio is at 103 per cent. Our total business exposure in the state is at Rs 10,209.34 crore and the bank has reached to about 18 lakh people, of which 15.5 lakh have been touched through various CSR activities, across Assam,” he said.

After her maiden budget on July 5, Sitharaman on September 20 announced a cut in corporate income taxes for domestic companies to 22 per cent from 30 per cent previously. This would bring effective corporate tax rate, including all additional levies, to about 25.2 per cent, for companies which are not receiving any incentives or exemptions. New manufacturing companies formed after October 1 will enjoy a 15 per cent (effective rate of 17 per cent) corporate income tax rate, against 25 per cent previously.

Guwahati, Nov 13 (PTI): HDFC Bank on Wednesday said it will increase its headcount by 50 per cent to 6,000 employees in the north-east (NE) region in the next 2-3 years to cater its network expansion plans.

Out of this, the lender will hire around 1,500 people in the next one year in Assam as the bank plans to increase the number of its branches from 72 to 100 in the state, HDFC Bank Executive Vice President Sandeep Kumar said.

“North-east is very important for our business. We currently have 136 branches spread across the region. Our plan is to take this number to 200 in the next 2-3 years,” Kumar said at a press conference here.

To meet the growing demand and cater to its expansion plans, the bank will hire more people in coming years, he said.

Singapore, Nov 13 (PTI): A pilot demo of BHIM UPI QR-based payments in Singapore began on Wednesday through a live transaction at a merchant terminal at the ongoing Singapore FinTech Festival 2019, the payment system’s first approach to the international market.

The demo will continue during the festival, which started on November 11 and would end on November 15.

This QR code-based system would allow anyone with a BHIM app to scan the SGQR at NETS terminals for payments in Singapore.

“This is the first time that BHIM app has gone international,” said Indian High Commissioner to Singapore Jawed Ashraf, who launched the live demo.

The project is being jointly developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) and Network for Electronic Transfers (NETS) of Singapore. It is targeted to go live

in revenue loss for the government during 2019-20.

Subsequent to this, there have been demands for a reduction in income tax rates for individuals as well so as to put more money in the hands of the common man for a consumption-led revival of the economy. India’s economic growth had slipped to a six-year low of 5 per cent in the April-June quarter and the revival may take a few quarters despite announcements to boost real estate and financial sectors.

“As regards direct taxes, while forwarding your proposals, please take into consideration the recent initiatives of the government to reduce corporate tax rates applicable to domestic companies” provided they do not avail of any other tax rebate or concession, the orders said.

“The government policy with reference to direct taxes in the medium term is to phase out tax incentives, deductions, and exemptions while simultaneously rationalising the rates of tax. It would be also desirable that while forwarding the suggestions/ recommendations, positive externalities arising out of the said recommendations and their quantification are also indicated,” it said.

New Delhi, Nov 13 (PTI): In perhaps the first instance, the finance ministry has kicked off the exercise to formulate the next budget by seeking suggestions on changes in direct and indirect taxes from industry and trade associations.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who had to announce additional measures to stimulate a slowing economy within a month of her maiden budget being approved by Parliament, is due to present the annual budget for the financial year 2020-21 on February 1.

While the ministr y holds pre-budget consultations with representatives of different sectors and stakeholders, the Department of Revenue in the finance ministry perhaps for the first time put out circular seeking suggestions for changes in income tax rates for both individuals and corporates as well as in indirect taxes such as excise and customs duty.

The November 11 circular asked industry and trade associations to give “suggestions for changes in the duty structure, rates and broadening of tax base on both direct and indirect taxes giving economic justification for the same.”

Israel-Gaza tension: Death toll rises to 15 senior Islamic Jihad militant Baha Abu al-Atta and his wife in an air strike on his house in eastern Gaza.

The Islamic Jihad vowed revenge and launched barrages of rockets and projectiles into Israel in response to the killing.

Meanwhile, a Palestinian source said that Egypt and the UN have moved to curb tension and prevent it from sliding into a broad confrontation similar to the 2014 war in which more than 2,000 Palestinians were killed.

Jerusalem, Nov 13 (IANS): Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that Israel’s army will countinue to strike Gaza’s Islamic Jihad group if rocket fire towards Israel continues.

“We are continuing to hit Islamic Jihad after eliminating its senior commander,” Netanyahu said during a special cabinet meeting, referring to Tuesday’s predawn strikes that killed Baha Abu al-Atta, a senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander and his wife.

He said the fighting between Israel and Gaza’s Islamic Jihad group “could take time”, Xinhua reported. Netanyahu said that al-Atta “was responsible for

most of the terror attacks emanating from the Gaza Strip in the last year and he was planning to carry out more attacks in the very next days”.

He said that Israel is not interested in further escalation but warned the Islamic Jihad that the Israeli army “will continue to strike them with no mercy” if rocket fire towards Israel continues.

Netanyahu addressed the citizens of Israel and said the escalation “could take time” and asked them to stay vigilant.

The killing of al-Atta triggered a spate of violence, including at least 250 rockets fired at central and southern Israel and dozens of Israeli airstrikes in Gaza.

Israel will continue to hit Islamic jihad: Netanyahu

The new wave of violent tension broke out on Tuesday after Israel killed senior Islamic Jihad militant Baha Abu al-Atta and his wife in an air strike on his house in eastern Gaza.

Gaza, Nov 13 (IANS): Three Palestinians were killed on Wednesday in a fresh Israeli air strike on central Gaza Strip, bringing the number of Palestinians that have been killed since Tuesday up to 15, said doctors.

Pak to amend Army Act to let Jadhav appeal in civilian court ISLAMABAD, NOV 13 (IANS): Pakistan is amending its Army Act to allow Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav the right to file an appeal in a civilian court, according to Pakistan’s ARY News.

Quoting well-placed sources, the news site reported that the move is being undertaken by Pakistan “in compliance with the International Court of Justice’s condition” to allow Kulbhushan to file an appeal in a civilian court.

Kulbhushan’s case is being tried in the Military courts and the Army Act law forbids such individuals or groups from filing an appeal or seeking justice from a civilian court.

WASHINGTON, NOV 13 (IANS): The US House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff has unveiled the schedule for public hearings of eight more witnesses as part of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump over his dealings with Ukraine.

Schiff, a California Democrat, announced on Twitter on Tuesday that the testimonies of the eight witnesses, all of whom had testified previously behind closed doors on Capitol Hill, will be held over three days next week, Xinhua reported.

Specifically, Jennifer Williams, a special adviser to Vice President Mike Pence on Europe and Russia, and Alexander Vindman, a Ukraine expert at the National Security Council, will testify Tuesday morning. Kurt Volker, the former US special envoy to Ukraine, and Tim Morrison, a National Security Council aide, will appear on Tuesday afternoon.

to Prakash, who hails from Bihar, for inventing an affordable indigenously designed milk chilling unit for small to marginal rural dairy farmers, the Facebook post said. The technology can be used for chilling milk from the point of production by bringing down the temperature of raw milk from 37°C

to 7°C within 30 minutes using nano-fluid based phase change materials, it said.

This innovation is of great socio-economic importance for all the developing countries by preserving quality and safety of milk just after production. This innovation will add value in farmer’s kitty, it said.

assistant secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, are scheduled to testify publicly on Wednesday.

Former U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch’s public hearing is slated for Friday.

Among the witnesses who will show up next week, Morrison, Volker and Hale were requested by Republicans, who were given the right to call witnesses by a resolution passed in the Democratic-controlled House in October. The Republican-proposed witnesses, however, have to be signed off by Democrats, according to the rules set in the resolution.

The Democrats have rejected Republicans’ request for the whistleblower -- whose revelation of the Ukraine controversy triggered House Democrats’ ongoing impeachment effort -- and former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter -- against whom Trump pursues an anti-corruption investigation from the Ukrainian government -- to testify.

Music may reduce cardiac stress while driving: Study

S

tress while driving is a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease and sudden cardiac complications such as heart attack, but now researchers have found that listening to music while driving can reduce cardiac stress.

“We found that cardiac stress in the participants in our experiment was reduced by listening to music while they were driving,” said study lead author Vitor Engracia Valenti, Professor at Sao Paulo State University in Brazil.

For the study, published in the journal Complementary Therapies in Medicine, researchers analysed the effects of music on cardiac stress in five women between the ages of 18 and 23.

“We opted to assess women who were not habitual drivers because people who drive frequently K Y M C

and have had a license for a long time are better adapted to stressful situations in traffic,” Valenti explained.

The volunteers were assessed on two days, in different situations and in a random order.

On one day, they drove for 20 minutes at rush hour (5:30-6:30 pm) along a three km route in a busy district of Marilia, a medium-sized city in the northwest of Sao Paulo, without listening to music. On the other day, the volunteers drove the same route at the same time of day but listened to instrumental music on a CD player coupled to the car radio.

The use of earbuds or headphones while driving is a traffic offense.

“To increase the degree of traffic stress, we asked them to drive a car they did not own. Driving

their own car might help,” Valenti said.

The level of cardiac stress was estimated by measuring heart rate variability using a heart rate monitor attached to the participant’s chest.

Defined as fluctuations in the intervals between consecutive heart beats, heart rate variability is influenced by the autonomic nervous system.

The more active the sympathetic nervous system, the faster the heart beats, while the parasympathetic nervous system tends to slow it down.

“Elevated sympathetic nervous system activity reduces heart rate variability, whereas more intense parasympathetic nervous system activity increases it,” Valenti said.

Analysis showed a reduction in heart rate variability in the volunteers who drove without music, indicating a lower level of parasympathetic nervous system activity but sympathetic nervous system activation.

Conversely, heart rate variability increased in the drivers who listened to music, indicating a higher level of parasympathetic nervous system activity and a reduction in sympathetic nervous system activity.

eteran star Robert De Niro will be honoured with a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) life achievement award.

The actor, who is seen in Netflix’s “The Irishman” and “Joker”, will receive the performers’ union’s top accolade at the 26th annual SAG Awards on January 19 at the Shrine Auditorium here, reports variety.com.

De Niro said: “I have been a member of this union for over 50 years. It’s an honour to receive this award from SAG-AFTRA.” The award is given annually to an actor who fosters the “finest ideals of the acting profession”.

“Robert De Niro is an actor of extraordinary depth and ability,” said SAGAFTRA president Gabrielle

Carteris.

“The characters he creates captivate our imaginations. From the smouldering inferno of young Vito Corleone to the raging bull Jake Lamotta and everybody’s grandpa Ben Whittaker, he continues to touch our hearts and open our minds to new and exciting worlds

of understanding and emotion. It is my great privilege to announce that SAGAFTRA’s highest honour will be presented to one of the most singular talents of our generation, Robert De Niro,” Carteris added.

mmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony-winning musician John Legend has snagged the title of 2019’s “Sexiest Man Alive” from People magazine.

Blake Shelton, who was given the title in 2017, made the announcement on Tuesday’s episode of “The Voice,” on which both men are coaches.

Legend, 40, skyrocketed to fame after his debut album, “Get Lifted,” was released in 2004. It earned him Grammys for best new artist, best R&B album and best male R&B vocal performance. He has also picked up an Oscar

to be picking me apart to see if I’m sexy enough to hold this title. I’m (also) following Idris Elba, which is not fair and is not nice to me!”

So where did his trail to success begin? Simple: as a young kid, with his mother cheering him on.

“Whenever we had opportunities to sing in church or in school, my mom would suggest that I do it,” Legend said. “She always encouraged me.”

He also credited his father with helping him become the man he is today.

“My father taught me about character. He taught us by example. He always conducted himself with such grace and dignity,” the singer said. “My parents always taught me that if you’re going to succeed in life, part of success is having humility. It’s a good way to live life, treating other people the way you want to be treated.”

All of his hard work and humility have paid off, as evidenced by his evergrowing trophy collection, his family and, of course, his new title as the Sexiest Man Alive.

“I’m so proud that I have a wife and two kids I’m so in love with and so connected to. I’m also so proud of my career,” Legend said. “I love writing songs and performing on stage. I get a lot of joy from it and give a lot of joy to other people. I’m pretty at ease with myself now.”

They have 50 plus ton collectively and it will be one hell of a task for the Mustafizur Rahamans, Taijul Islams and Mehidy Hasan Mirajs to stop this line-up.

Not to forget that Bangladesh, in their last Test match under the mercurial Shakib’s leadership, lost to Afghanistan in a one-off game. Shakbi was ousted from this series owing to a two-year suspension for failing report corrupt approaches to the ICC. The Indians, however do not want to take anything for granted. The track at the Holkar Stadium has always been a batting paradise with ridiculously short side boundaries but there is bounce on offer.

Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav are certainties in the pace line-up while Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin are expected to make the squad.

Considering the bounce on offer, Ishant Sharma, as the third pacer, has more chance than wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav.

However, Bangladesh’s track record while facing Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan could well entice Kohli to have second thoughts about including Kuldeep in the playing XI. Fo r B a n g l a d e s h ’s young guns, the ‘biggest test’ in the Test will be to stretch this Indian team to the fifth day which looks unlikely at the moment.

Squads: India: Rohit Sharma, Mayank Agarwal, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli (captain), Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma, Kuldeep Yadav. Reserves: Shubman Gill, Hanuma Vihari, Rishabh Pant.

Bangladesh: Mominul Haque (captain), Imrul Kayes, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah Riyad, Mohammed Mithun, Liton Kumar Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraj, Mustafizur Rahaman, Naeem Hasan, Saif Hasan, Shadman Islam, Taijul Islam, Abu Jayed, Ebadot Hossain, Mosaddek Hossain Saikat.

“I want to issue a sincere apology to my teammates, supporters and the Afghanistan team for what transpired on the field of play on Monday in Lucknow.

“I recognise that I made an extreme error in judgement and I fully accept the ICC penalty. I promise to learn from this and come back stronger and wiser,” he added.

The charge was levelled by on-field umpires Bismillah Shinwari and Ahmed Durrani and third umpire Ahmed Pakteen as well as fourth umpire Izatullah Safi.

Level 3 breaches carry a minimum penalty of four suspension points which translates to five demerit points on a player’s record and a ban of two Test matches or four ODI/T20I matches and a maximum penalty of 12 suspension points which equate to six demerit points.

Dubai, Nov 13 (PTI): West Indies wicketkeeperbatsman Nicolas Pooran was on Wednesday handed a four-match suspension after admitting to balltampering in the third ODI against Afghanistan, an offence for which he also issued a public apology.

Pooran will now miss the next four T20 International games for the West Indies and will have five demerit points added to his record. The game in question took place in Lucknow on Monday.

“Nicolas Pooran has been handed four suspension points after admitting breaching level 3 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel...,” the International Cricket Council said in a statement.

“Pooran was charged with violating Article 2.14 of the code, which relates to ‘changing the condition of the ball’ after video foot-

difficult to imagine how Bangladesh, without Tamim Iqbal and the suspended Shakib Al Hasan, will even be able to compete in a format, which has been their weakest till date.

Having crushed South Africa in their last series, this Indian team, with inarguably their greatest-ever pace unit till date, will definitely be too hot to handle for a side whose best batsman — skipper Mominul Haque — has less than 10 Test hundreds (eight).

Although Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah Riyad are committed cricketers but in the longest format, they aren’t exactly formidable names.

Compare that to India’s premier willow wielders — Kohli (26 hundreds),

Pooran admitted the offence on Tuesday and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Chris Broad.

“I recognise that I made an extreme error in judgement and I fully accept the ICC penalty. I want to assure everyone that this is an isolated incident and it will not be repeated,” Pooran stated.

IOA’s last-ditch effort to retain shooting in CWG

Shooting has always been one of India’s top medal contributors in the CWG.

New Delhi, Nov 13 (PTI): The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) will make a last-ditch effort to bring shooting back on the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games roster when it meets top officials of the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) here on Thursday.

The IOA brass, including President Narinder Batra and Secretary General Rajeev Mehta, along with Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju will meet CGF President Louise Martin and CEO David Grevemberg to proK Y M C

test shooting’s exclusion from the CWG. Shooting has been dropped owing to logistical issues cited by the local organising committee.

The meeting was agreed upon following IOA’s proposal to the Sports Ministry in July, to boycott the Games over shooting’s exclusion.

According to Mehta, the IOA will try to convince the CGF to reconsider its decision on shooting, citing India’s excellent medal count in the sport.

“The main agenda of the meeting is shoot-

ing’s exclusion from the Birmingham Games. We will strongly put forward our case before the CGF in front of the Sports Minister. We will try to explain it to them how India’s medals tally will be affected by shooting’s exclusion from the CWG,” Mehta told PTI. “Besides, the CWG boycott matter will also be on the agenda. Let’s see what comes out,” he added.

Besides Batra and Mehta, other top IOA officials who will be present during the meeting include Trea-

surer Anandeshwar Pandey, Senior Vice President Anil Khanna, Vice President Sudhanshu Mittal and life Vice-President of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) and former IOA Secretary General Randhir Singh.

Shooting has always been one of India’s top medal contributors in the CWG. The discipline yielded 16 medals, including seven gold at the last edition of the event in Gold Coast.

For the first time since 1974, the sport has been excluded from the Games roster.

In protest, the IOA had threatened to pull out of the Games if shooting was not reinstated.

It is understood that during Thursday’s meeting, the CGF delegation is unlikely to budge on dropping shooting from the programme and will try to come out with a compromise formula.

Meanwhile, the CGF delegation will also visit some venues of the Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games and have a meeting with the IOA Athletes Commission during it’s two-day visit.

PBL Season 5 to start on Jan 20 New Delhi, Nov 13 (IANS): The fifth edition of the Premier Badminton League (PBL) will start from January 20, 2020 and will continue till February 9.

While Season 4 saw the Kidambi Srikanth-led Bengaluru Raptors lift the title, the league owned by the Badminton Association of India (BAI) and organised by Sportzlive, the official license holders under the aegis of BAI, will be hosted this time in Chennai, Delhi, Lucknow and Bengaluru.

“India’s prowess in badminton has been reestablished once again as PV Sindhu became the first Indian to become the world champion. Sai Praneeth also brought a men’s singles medal after 36 years, signifying India’s stupendous development in the sport.

The fifth season of PBL will give badminton lovers a priceless opportunity to watch these champions live,” said BAI President Himanta Biswa Sarma.

“It is not only singles but the dynamics have now changed with superb performances from the young brigade like Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty. The two have put Indian doubles on the badminton map with their fearless display against world champions.” said Atul Pande, Managing Director, SportzLive.

L o n d o n, N ov 1 3 (Agencies): Formula One has announced a new 10-year plan to “change the face of the sport” and become carbon neutral by 2030.

According to CNN, the sport has faced increasing criticism over its current yearly output of 255,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide given the climate emergency.

Only 0.7% of F1’s emissions come from the cars on track, with the majority of the sport’s carbon footprint -- excluding fan travel -- resulting from teams and equipment traveling to races around the world.

Teams will look to reduce the number of people that travel to each race, instead using improved communication technology to allow strategists and analysts to work remotely back at headquarters.

F1 also wants to increase the use of rail and road travel to transport kit to races as a way of reducing air miles. Despite the small percentage of emissions caused on-track, the sport is changing to use improved biofuels made up of biological material, such as algae.

“Over its 70-year history, F1 has pioneered numerous technologies and innovations that have positively contributed to society and helped to combat carbon

“We believe F1 can continue to be a leader for the auto industry and work with the energy and automotive sector to deliver the world’s first net zero carbon hybrid internal combustion engine that hugely reduces carbon emissions around the world.”

F1 also wants to reduce the environmental impact of each race weekend. By next year, it aims to remove of all single-use plastics and by 2025 all waste produced will be compostable, re-usable or recyclable.

By 2030, all power at every event will be from a renewable energy source and its offices, facilities and

factories will be 100% renewably powered, says F1.

Local environmental groups will also be consulted to protect the biodiversity in the areas around race events and minimize the impact of the sport on local wildlife.

Meanwhile fans will be provided with incentives to make their journeys to and from race events as green as possible and also provide opportunities for local people and businesses to become more involved.

F1 says these aims are “ambitious, yet achievable” and it will begin implementing carbon reduction projects immediately.

“Our commitment to global environmental protection is crucial,” FIA president Jean Todt said. “It is not only very encouraging for the future of motorsport, but it could also have strong benefits for society as a whole.

India take on B’desh in 1st test today

I n d o r e , N ov 1 3 (Agencies): The action begins with the red cherry but the focus is firmly on the pink ball as a formidable India looks to overpower a depleted-but-gritty Bangladesh in the first Test of a two-match series starting here tomorrow.

According to News Today, the rubber opens here but the buzz and the talk has been consistently centered on the second game in Kolkata, which will be played under lights — a historic first for both the teams. This is also that one series in the World Test Championship calendar, in which Virat Kohli’s men, currently in the ‘pink of form’, can steamroll the rag-tag opposition well inside four days.

Sindhu, Prannoy win; Saina out of HK Open

P V Sindhu Hong Kong, Nov 13 (PTI): World Champion P V Sindhu made a positive start to her campaign but Saina Nehwal and Sameer Verma were ousted from the Hong Kong Open after suffering contrasting defeats in the opening round of the USD 400,000 event here on Wednesday.

Sixth seed Sindhu, who had faltered in the opening round in a couple of recent tournaments, took 36 minutes to see off world no 19 Kim Ga Eun of Korea 21-15 21-16 to progress to the second round.

H S P r a n n oy a l s o crossed the opening hurdle, beating China’s Huang Yu Xiang 21-17 21-17 in 44 minutes to a clash with sixth seed Indonesian Jonatan Christie.

However, eighth seed Saina, who claimed the Indonesia Masters in January this year, suffered her fifth first-round loss in the last six tournaments, going down 13-21 20-22 to China’s Cai Yan Yan for the second successive time. She had lost to Cai at China Open last week.

Thiem stuns Djokovic in ATP World Tour Finals

Dominic Thiem L o n d o n, N ov 1 3 (IANS): Dominic Thiem of Australia became the first player to reach the semifinals of the ongoing ATP World Tour Finals after clinching a sensational win over world number two Novak Djokovic.

Thiem, who had stunned Swiss legend Roger Federer in straight sets last Sunday in his first match in Group Bjorn Borg, came from behind to defeat Djokovic 6-7 (5), 6-3, 7-6 (5) on Tuesday evening.

“This was really one of these special matches, what I’ve practised all my life for, all my childhood for,”

Thiem was quoted as saying by the ATP Tour website. “Really epic one in an amazing atmosphere, beating a legend of our game.

And also I’ve qualified for the semi-finals, which is the best,” he added.

Meanwhile, Djokovic said that Thiem deserved to win. “I thought he deserved to win. He just played very courageous tennis and (was) just smacking the ball. He went for broke,” Djokovic said.

“The entire match he played same way he played the last point. I have to put my hat down and congratulate him, because he just played a great match.”

The loss keeps Djokovic, the World No. 2, 440 points behind No. 1 Rafael Nadal in the battle for year-end No. 1 in the ATP Rankings.

Earlier, Federer recovered from his disastrous start at the ongoing tournament and defeated Matteo Berrettini from Italy 7-6 (2), 6-3. As the six-time champion lost his first match to Thiem, he has to now defeat Djokovic on Thursday to reach the semi-finals.

behind from the very start.

She couldn’t catch up with the Chinese, who moved to a comfortable 11-4 lead at the break and kept surging ahead to win the first game.

In the second game, Saina was 3-0 up initially but Cai reeled off seven straight points at 2-4 to jump to a 9-4 advantage.

The Indian narrowed the gap but Cai was ahead 11-9 at the breather.

After the interval, the Chinese jumped to a 17-11 advantage. However, Saina managed to fight back and grab a game point at 20-19 but the Chinese once again managed to nose ahead.

Sameer, on the other hand, managed to take one game away from the world no.26 Wang after meekly surrendering the opening game.

Wang was 7-4 up and then surged to 15-5 in a jiffy to eventually close the opening game.

In the second game, Wang led 3-0 early on but this time Sameer put up a fierce fight to open up a slender 11-10 lead, which he capitalised to roar back into the contest.

However, Sameer was completely blown away by Wang in the decider. The Taiwanese shuttler zoomed to an 8-0 lead and then grabbed a 15-2 advantage, a gap which the Indian failed to bridge in the end.

Saina and Sameer are both scheduled to play Gwangju Korea Masters Super 300 tournament next week.

Women’s doubles pair of Ashwini Ponnappa and N Sikki Reddy also couldn’t cross the opening round, losing 13-21 12-21 to Denark’s Maiken Fruergaard and Sara Thygesen.

World No 6 Sindhu

moved to a 8-4 lead early on but Kim managed to turn the tables, holding a 11-10 advantage at the breather. The Indian then reeled off six points at 1313 to march ahead and seal the opening game.

The second game was no different as Sindhu again broke off at 5-5, grabbing seven points on the trot to move to a massive 12-5 lead. The Indian kept moving ahead and eventually shut the door comfortably on her opponent.

Earlier, Saina lacked the wherewithal to put up a fight against Cai in the opening game and fell

Punjab to host World Kabaddi Cup from Dec 1

India to face Afghanistan in crucial WC Qualifiers today

Chandigarh, Nov 13 (IANS): The World Kabaddi Cup, dedicated to the 550th birth anniversary of Sikhism’s founder Guru Nanak Dev, will be held from December 1 to 10 in Punjab, state Sports and Youth Services Minister Rana Gurmit Sodhi said on Wednesday.

The inauguration would be held at Guru Nanak Stadium in Sultanpur Lodhi followed by four matches. The closing ceremony would be held at the Shaheed Bhagat Singh Sports Stadium in Dera Baba Nanak apart from the final match and matched for the third and fourth position. Two matches would be played each at Guru Nanak Stadium in Amritsar, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Stadium in Ferozepur, Sports Stadium in Bathinda and Yadavindra Sports Stadium in Patiala. The semifinals would be held at Charan Ganga Sports Stadium in Anandpur Sahib. Sodhi said nine teams from India, the US, Australia, Britain, Sri Lanka, Kenya, New Zealand, Pakistan and Canada are participating.

Dushanbe (Tajikistan), Nov 13 (PTI): Struggling to find consistency in a winless campaign so far, the Indian football team needs nothing less than a win in its crunch World Cup qualifying round match against Afghanistan to be played in freezing temperatures here on Thursday.

India began the second round of the qualifiers with a narrow 1-2 defeat to higher-ranked Oman before a memorable goalless draw against Asian champions Qatar in Doha in September.

The good show in the first two matches raised hopes of a possible third round berth but a 1-1 draw against eastern neighbours Bangladesh in Kolkata on October 15 came as a dampener.

Had it not been for Adil Khan’s last-gasp header (88th minute), Igor Stimac’s side would have utterly disappointed the capacity crowd at the Salt Lake Stadium that day.

The team is now at fourth place in the Group E table with two points from three matches. With the runner-up in the five-team

group not even assured of a third round slot, India cannot afford to lose against Afghanistan.

The Afghans, who are 149th in FIFA rankings against India 106th position, are placed third in the group with one win and two losses. Stimac understands the situation his team is in, that it cannot afford to slip at any cost.

The war-ravaged Afghanistan chose Dushanbe as their home venue and the match will be played on artificial turf amid freezing temperatures. This has added to the woes of Stimac whose players are not used to these playing conditions.

India also suffered a jolt after central defender Anas Edathodika had to return home from Dubai, where the team had a stopover on way to Dushanbe, due to the death of his mother. Anas was a longtime partner of the imposing Sandesh Jhingan, who is currently recovering from an injury. The team is also without key mid-fielder Rowlin Borges, who is also nursing an injury.

Historically, India enjoy a good record against

KO H I M A , NOV 1 3 (NPN): FC Pochury and New Market XI reached the quarterfinals of the 25th Classic Cup at Kohima local ground, here on Wednesday.

In the first match, FC Pochury thrashed Invictus FC 7-0. FC Pochury striker Chisie Nyosou scored four goals, while Dohinil Nyosou, Atsiatho Nyuthe, Yithachu added a goal each. On the other hand, Invictus FC failed to reg-

ister a single shot on target as they crushed out of the tournament with a heavy defeat.

In another encounter, New Market XI beat Kohima Bible College 2-0.

New Market’s forward Kezhose Mathew brace in the first half was enough for New Market XI to enter the quarterfinal. Mathew opened the scoring for New Market in the 9th minute assisted by Mezizoto. He went on to score his second in the 25th minute.

Despite dominance in

the second half, the mud soaked ground prevented New Market from scoring more goals.

Up next, New Market will face FC Pochury in the quarterfinal on November 18.

Villa retires from international football

David Villa TOKYO, Nov 13 (AFP): Star striker David Villa, Spain’s top goalscorer, Wednesday announced he will retire next month, ending a glittering career in which he won the World

Cup, European Championships and Champions League. The 37-year-old Vissel Kobe striker said he will call it a day at the end of the 2019 J-League season after a 19-year career that took in Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Valencia while accumulating 98 caps for his country.

Villa will become an investor in Queensboro FC, a new franchise based in the New York district of Queens that will play in the second tier of US football.

Villa played in three World Cups and was a member of the Spanish side that lifted the trophy in 2010 and won the European Championships in 2008, though he missed out on the 2012 triumph through injury. He scored 59 times for Spain, a national record.

His club honors include the 2010-11 Champions League, the 2011 UEFA Super Club, 2011 Club World Cup and two La Liga wins in 2010-11 and 2012-13 with Barcelona.

He won a third La Liga with Atletico Madrid in his one season there in 2013-14 after leaving Barcelona. After leaving Atletico, Villa embarked on a successful spell in Major League Soccer for New York City, where he scored 80 goals in 124 appearances.

Villa was New York City’s first-ever signing and his haul included the first goal scored at Yankee Stadium in an opening home victory over the New England Revolution.
