GST Council slashes tax rates on 178 items

GUWAHATI, NOV 10 (AGENCIES): Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council on Friday decided to reduce tax rate on a wide range of mass use items — from chewing gums to detergents— to 18% from current 28%, Bihar deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi said.

The all-powerful council pruned the list of items attracting the top 28% tax rate to just 50 from 227 previously, Modi told reporters here. In effect, the council, in its 23rd meet Friday, cut rates on 178 goods.

Facing intense heat from opposition-ruled states over keeping mass used goods in the 28 % bracket which was meant for luxury and de-merit goods, the Council pruned the list to 50 as against 62 that was recommended by its fitment committee.

The GST Council— the apex body for decision making headed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has decided to keep only 50 luxury and ‘sin’ goods like tobacco in the highest slab, paving the way for price cuts in raft of commonly used goods from furniture to sanitary ware, electrical

fittings, detergents, marble flooring and toiletries Except for white goods, some auto parts, aircraft parts, yatch-related products, cement, paint and some other products, the GST rate on all other items have been placed in a lower slab.

The GST rate on two items— wet grinders, armoured fighting vehicles— have been cut from 28 to 12 percent. Taxes on six items have been cut from 18 to 5 percent, in eight items from 12 to 5 percent and from 5 to zero percent in six items.

The council also sim-

plified procedures, and several changes to make the ‘Composition Scheme’ more attractive.

The GST Council — the apex body for decision making headed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley also decided to impose a uniform GST rate of 5 percent across all categories of standalone restaurants — air-conditioned and nonair-conditioned — but withdraw the benefits of input tax credit (ITC) from such businesses.

Jaitley said that the council has noted that no restaurants were passing

on the benefits of ITC to customers and had linearly raised their meal rates after GST became effective from July 1.

Input credit means at the time of paying tax on output, a producer, trader or service provider can reduce the tax already paid on inputs.

“The council noted that, after GST restaurants did not pass it on to customers. GST was being charged on existing meal rates,” Jaitley said, obliquely hinting that the government would not hesitate to invoke the anti-profiteering clause and clamp down on business found to be not passing on the benefits to customers.

“The GST rate for all restaurants, AC and nonAC, irrespective of turnover, will now be 5 percent,” Jaitley said. “Since they did not pass on benefits, no restaurants will be eligible for ITC henceforth,” he said.

Restaurants in starred hotels and outdoor catering services will attract a GST of 18 percent along with ITC benefits.

Jaitley also said that the annual turnover threshold on the composition scheme will be raised from

Rs 1 crore to Rs 1.5 crore.

This will be done after the law is amended to raise the turnover ceiling for eligibility of composition.

“The law will be amended to raise the ceiling to Rs 2 crore. The limit will be raised immediately after the law amended to Rs 1.5 crore,” finance secretary Hasmukh Adhia said.

Under the scheme, traders, manufacturers and restaurants can pay tax at 1, 2 and 5 percent, respectively.

Adhia said that the council has also decided to fix a uniform rate of 1 percent for traders and manufacturers.

The move to widen the turnover threshold is aimed at easing the compliance burden for taxpayers as they will have to file returns only once in a quarter as against monthly returns that needs to be filed by other normal taxpayers.

However, dealers cannot avail input tax credit, unlike a normal taxpayer.

Also, traders availing the composition scheme on goods, who also provide small services upto Rs 5 lakh annually, will not be considered ineligible for the scheme.

Neiphiu Rio harps on peace and unity to solve problems

D I M A P U R , N OV 1 0 (NPN): Lok Sabha MP, Neiphiu Rio on Friday called upon the people to work for peace and unity by setting aside all individual interest in order to facilitate solution, development, employment in the state, a press note from PS to MP stated.

Addressing the inaugural programme of Totok Omlen Village in Mon, Rio said “when there is peace and unity, our problems can be solved.”

While congratulating the people of Totok Omlen on being recognized as a village by the government, Rio also hailed the Konyaks of being the largest Naga tribe inhabiting Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and Myanmar. He stressed on the importance of unity and urged them to be an example to other Naga tribes.

Though people of the area were lacking in education and development, Rio however said “as people, you are not backward but at par with any other Naga tribe.” Rio expressed concern about the Human Development reports of the (Cont’d on p-8) district which recorded the

lowest literacy rate at 57 %, lowest per capita income and lowest life expectancy rate at 75 years on average.

Stating that 70% of Nagaland’s population was still rural, Rio challenged the Konyak Union, the gazetted officers, the various unions and the people to establish urban towns and cities in the plain areas of the district like Tizit in order to be more accessible and boost their economy. Rio informed that the Railway line from Dimapur to Tizit and further on to Arunachal Pradesh had been approved while a four-lane expressway along the same route was in the offing.

On the occasion, Rio donated an ambulance-- in line with his gesture of donating an ambulance each to all the tribes of East-

ern Nagaland, which was handed over to the district administration.

While suggesting Konyak Nyupuh Sheko Khong (KNSK) or Konyak Mothers’ Association to manage the ambulance service, he however called upon Konyak Union and its frontal organisations to discuss and finalise the same with the district administration.

Adviser, DUDA and NEPED, S. Pangnyu Phom also spoke on the occasion.

Affirming that Phoms and Konyaks were not different from each other, Pangnyu called upon the people of the village to remember all those who were instrumental in establishing and getting the village recognized. He expressed gratitude to the chief minister and the cabinet for approving the recognition of Totok Omlen.

Earlier, the chief guest inspected the guard of honour by the Village Guards and then dedicated the commemorative plaque by cutting the ceremonial ribbon.

Host of tribal leaders including parliamentary secretaries and government officials attended the programme.

Sept 18 case: PAC demands Court rejects plea to declare Day 2 of ENCSU’s black-badge campaign public apology from NSCN (K) Hindus as minority in 8 states DIMAPUR, NOV 10 (NPN): In connection with the alleged attempt on the life of L Doulo, proprietor of Kuda Cold Storage in Dimapur on September 18 last, the Public Action Committee, Naga Council Dimapur (PAC, NCD) has declared to not extend moral and other supports to the NSCN (K) till the group openly apologize to the public and “discipline their cadres who have damaged the image of NSCN (K).”

In a press release, PAC, NCD convenor, Vekhosayi Nyekha, and co-convenor, K Ghokheto Chophy, strongly condemned the NSCN (K) press statement published on October 28, 2017, “wherein the NSCN (K) denied their involvement in the murder attempt of Duolo, proprietor of Kuda Cold Storage on September 18, 2017 by their cadre SS captain Akheto Chopy and was justified by one Kumtsa official of NSCN (K).”

PAC stated that the Naga public was shocked to read the

justification of murder attempt.

It stated that “two criminals of the NSCN (K)” were arrested by efficient and capable Dimapur police on October 24, 2017, but the NSCN (K) publicly denied their involvement. “We the Naga people of Dimapur feel that lies and manipulations are demeaning the good stature of the NSCN (K) on one hand while on the other hand, we cannot allow the Naga people to be taken for a ride with lies and justifying the wrong. We condemn it,” PAC stated.

Meanwhile, PAC has cautioned that “should any harm happen to Duolo again, the Naga public would not take it lying down.” It said that Naga public not only condemned the murder attempt and the easy and convenient justification of the criminal act, but also refused to be cowed down by bullets and criminals.

“We shall build the Naga nation by fighting against rogue elements in our national struggles,” PAC stated.

NEW DELHI, NOV 10 (AGENCIES): Supreme Court on Friday rejected to hear the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking minority status for Hindus in several states and union territories including the North Eastern states.

A bench headed by Justice Gogoi said that National Commission for Minorities will decide on the matter and had asked the petitioner to approach them, reports The Times of India.

The PIL was filed by a Delhi BJP leader and advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay.

The petitioner sought minority status for Hindus living in Jammu and Kashmir, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Punjab, Lakshwadeep, Nagaland and Mizoram, claiming that “the minority rights of the Hindus were being siphoned off illegally and arbitrarily to the majority population”.

As per a 1993 notification by the Centre, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists and Parsis were granted minority status in India and Jains were added in the list in 2014.

Citing the 2011 Census, the petitioner said that Hindus were minority in eight states-Lakshadweep (2.5%), Mizoram (2.75%), Nagaland (8.75%), Meghalaya (11.53%), J&K (28.44%), Arunachal Pradesh (29%), Manipur (31.39%) and Punjab (38.40%).

DIMAPUR, NOV 10 (NPN): Day-2 of the black-badge campaign launched by Eastern Nagaland College Students’ Union (ENCSU) culminated peacefully on Friday with students taking part in large numbers to express strong resentment against the state government and Higher Education department for not disbursing full scholarship on time.

A statement issued by ENCSU said the Government of Nagaland and Higher Education department had teased the patience of the student community of Nagaland and now it was time for students to retaliate accordingly. “If the Government and the Department can’t even spare the Students scholarship than the hope for fairness in other public welfare scheme doesn’t arise,” the statement read.

ENCSU asked the department to refrain from acting clean on the issue and rather tell the truth and resolve the matter once and for all by producing proper evidence papers to validate its claim.

Meanwhile, the Union has decided to launch poster campaign across the State from Monday as part of its second phase of protest on the issue. Reiterating that wearing of black badges would continue until justice was delivered, ENCSU also urged all Naga students to extend full support and cooperation to the stir. It also asked its federating

This kind of a culture was also prevalent in other fields like business, cricket and films and it must end, Gandhi said.

“We must strive to ensure that a composite concept of Hindustan is evolved where all would enjoy the fruits of equality and opportunity,” he said.

At least, the MPs should not increase their salary themselves, he said.

He said there should be citizens’ intervention in government schemes and constant monitoring was needed to ensure accountability and transparency which would automatically bring down corruption.

Biren said Moreh town, which borders Myanmar, would be “developed”. It is the centre of the legalised border trade between the two countries, he said, and added that visa on arrival will be provided for the Buddhist monks and patients to Manipur from Southeast Asian countries.

“I invite the Myanmarese journalists to come to Manipur during the 10-day Sangai tourism festival be-

ginning from November 21, so that they could contribute towards the economic developments of the two countries,” the Chief Minister said.

He also extended invitation to the international businessmen to come to Manipur in view of the fast growing economic ties between India and Myanmar.

The two countries used to have barter system of business along the border.

Both agreed to legalise the border trade in 1995. As a part of the Act East policy the Centre is also giving special attention to the trade at Moreh in Manipur and Namphalong in Myanmar.

fter the Supreme Court on July 27, 2017, declared the Assam Parliamentary Secretaries (Appointment, Salaries, Allowances and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2004 as unconstitutional, the fates of parliamentary secretaries in India were sealed. The case pertained to the appointment through the above named act in 2005 by the then Congress government. Assam after the BJP came to power and Tripura under CPM are the only two states in the north east which have not appointed any parliamentary secretary. The apex court while passing the order said that the state Assembly was not competent to pass such an Act. As the constitution of India did not have specific provision for the appointment of parliamentary secretaries, such appointments were definitely extra-constitutional, if not unconstitutional. Ninety-three parliamentary secretaries across five North Eastern states stand to lose their jobs after the Supreme Court on Wednesday scrapped the Assam Parliamentary Secretaries (Appointment, Salaries, Allowances and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act of 2004. So far seven parliamentary secretaries in Mizoram and on Thursday, 17 in Meghalaya have quit. The Mizo parliamentary secretaries did so in August this year soon after the July Supreme Court judgment. The 17 Meghalaya parliamentary secretaries quit only after the high court on November 9, also gave a similar ruling but left disqualification to the Governor. Out of 93 parliamentary secretaries in the north east only 69 remain in Arunachal Pradesh which has 31, followed by Nagaland with 26 such offices and Manipur with 12.

All these states had enacted their respective Acts to appoint parliamentary secretaries with the intention of accommodating legislators who did not find place in ministries after the 91st Amendment to the Constitution that had restricted the size of ministries to a maximum of 15 per cent of the total Assembly strength. Beyond north east Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Punjab, Delhi and Goa are some of the states where MLAs have been appointed Parliament Secretaries by the Governments. PILs filed in various High Courts on the matter have argued that the appointment of Parliament Secretaries is ultra vires the 91st Amendment of the Indian Constitution which introduced Article 164 (1A) to the Constitution.

Article 164 (1A) provides for limiting the number of ministers in the state cabinets. The total number of ministers including the Chief Minister, has to be within 15 per cent of the total number of members of the legislative assembly of the state and 20 per cent in the case with hilly states having not more than 60member houses. The BJP is ruling in both Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh while the party is in alliance with the NPF in Nagaland. The Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) has filed a petition in the high court seeking the dismissals of parliamentary secretaries in the light of the July Supreme Court judgment. Officials speculate the as per the Act of 2005, the state has exempted parliamentary secretaries from the purview of being offices of profit. It is certain that the stand of the government in getting exemption from the apex court’s ruling will be difficult to defend. The issue of privilege cannot circumvent the constitution on the very issue of public interest. Therefore, it will be in the interest of all if the court takes up the matter with urgency.

DailyDevotion Fellowship in the Gospel …fellow laborer in the gospel of Christ…

—1 Thessalonians 3:2 After sanctification, it is difficult to state what your purpose in life is, because God has moved you into His purpose through the Holy Spirit. He is using you now for His purposes throughout the world as He used His Son for the purpose of our salvation. If you seek great things for yourself, thinking, “God has called me for this and for that,” you barricade God from using you. As long as you maintain your own personal interests and ambitions, you cannot be completely aligned or identified with God’s interests.

This can only be accomplished by giving up all of your personal plans once and for all, and by allowing God to take you directly into His purpose for the world. Your understanding of your ways must also be surrendered, because they are now the ways of the Lord.

I must learn that the purpose of my life belongs to God, not me. God is using me from His great personal perspective, and all He asks of me is that I trust Him. I should never say, “Lord, this causes me such heartache.” To talk that way makes me a stumbling block. When I stop telling God what I want, He can freely work His will in me without any hindrance.

He can crush me, exalt me, or do anything else He chooses. He simply asks me to have absolute faith in Him and His goodness. Self-pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it I cannot be used by God for His purpose in the world. Doing this creates for me my own cozy “world within the world,” and God will not be allowed to move me from it because of my fear of being “frost-bitten.”

Post-mortem

Netaji came to the Naga Hills in 1944: A rejoinder to K. Puro

I

t has been sometime now that you, K. Puro continued Subhas Chandra Bose episode denying his presence in the Naga Hills even after many publication indicating a clear historical facts on Bose presence in the Naga Hills during the Battle of Kohima. Now this has made many to question the intention of your episode referring to few books written by the colonial rulers like Arthur Swinson’s (who was a staff captain of the British 5th brigade during the WWII) and wrote a book, “Kohima” focusing on the experience of the British 2nd infantry Division, which you extensively referred to. Also the then DC Pawsey, and as per the many available sources through books and Internet one thing is very clear that he was mostly occupied with rehabilitation post war and never had the time to go through different places even in close proximity let alone Phek district!

The point is, if this is what you want to present as your historical facts and evidence (a bias approach) plainly taken from a one sided story from a handpick two three books, would it even be considered a research work in its truest sense?

You see, our society has come of age and is able to judge what was fed to us then by the colonial masters from what was deliberately hidden from our knowledge.

Yesterday, it was about Netaji’s sudden disappearance, and today, a controversy has been generated to completely erase the great leader’s footprint from the Naga Hills.

Why was/is there so much effort to hide every bit of vital information about Netaji and his movements during the WWII? Every person with a little knowledge of Indian History knows that Bose was an anti-imperialist and therefore, by default, he became an enemy of the British rule in India. His presence in India in 1944 was likely to create serious political consequences for the British raj. The Indian National Congress leaders who saw the British as the lesser evil vis-à-vis the Japanese, also saw Bose as a threat to their policies and ideology. Hence, Netaji phobia continued to be felt even during post India’s independence era. Even today, many of the scholars and historians find it difficult to avoid the pit-fall of subjectivity while attempting to work on Netaji and the Indian National Army. The reason is, we are still over dependent on the records left behind by our past masters.

This is often proven to be true when written records of the white-collared officials and oral accounts of the lesser known players come

I

into conflict. In most of the cases, official records of the past are still considered supreme and final when it comes to interpretation of historical events. However, it can never happen that every official record is complete or right in itself because the recorders themselves were/ are being fed by human reporters, in most cases, by the ones in the pay roles of the recorders.

The absence of satisfactory colonial records on Netaji’s direct role in the India campaign of 1944 should not be targeted as an Achilles heel to deface him further from history.

After all, history is often pieced together by various means using even undocumented facts or accounts of eyewitnesses. What more proof does one need to get convinced on Netaji’s entry into the frontier villages of the Naga Hills when eyewitnesses and participants who had either served him or had met him in person, have already given their side of the story very clearly? Of course, it is not a compulsion for everyone to believe on what one says, but the fact is, oral history is the foundation of many histories. Therefore, just because the opponents of Subhas Bose had, knowingly or unknowingly, failed to record his activities in northeast India during the WWII does not mean that he was not here. We all know that there existed crucial reasons why the activities of Bose and the INA was kept as a top secret during the war, especially by the British officials and the 14th Army.

By the way, have we already accepted the British military history as the final history of the WWII in the region?

Can’t we create a little space for the views of the living witnesses? There should not be anything wrong in the construction of a piece of history long forgotten or avoided in the past due to political and other reasons.

Precisely, here we are talking about the forgotten history of Netaji’s brief association with some of the native Nagas in 1944.

We come across a startling fact in the work of Major General Shahnawaz Khan who had mentioned that on arrival in India, they found out that the people inside the country knew very little about the real worth and activities of the INA. The reason was, they found the propaganda of the British to be too powerful (Shanawaz Khan, p.243).

It is alleged that even news about the entry of the INA into northeast India have been suppressed to sideline the importance of the political aspect of the Japanese and the INA campaign of India. In this regard, Profes-

sor Bhattachajee observed that there was a possibility of a deliberate attempt on the part of the British press and publicity to bewilder the people of India into believing that the battle of Imphal-Kohima was a Japanese invasion. The British propaganda was reinforced by the efforts of a section of the national leaders (World War II & India: A Fifty Years Perspective, presidential address, Gorakhpur University, 1990, p.13).

In the light of the above, a few evidences about the entry and activities of Netaji and his INA in northeast India have been listed below: 1. Right in the beginning, in early March 1944, groups of officers and men of the Special Service Group (Bahadur Group) and men of the Azad Hind Dal went up to the Kohima sector, being attached to the crack Japanese Manchurian Division (Major General A.C. Chatterji, India’s Struggle for Freedom, Chatterjee & Co., Ltd., Calcutta, 1947, p.180).

Writing of his memoir on 3rd April 1944, Lieut.

M.G. Mulkar wrote, “We were passing through Naga Hills. Here and there we found a peculiar type of cultivation, i.e., terrace cultivation on the sides of hills.

Naga village is on the top of a hill.” He further wrote on 7th April, “Kohima town was besieged by us. The fighting is severe and on it 2. Depends our future success (Lieut. M.G. Mulkar, INA Soldier’s Dairy, pp.128132). Khumbo Angami, recollecting the event at Kohima said that he encountered several Indians in military dress who were officers of INA where they showed the people the Indian national flag and some badges (Fergal keane, Road of Bones, 2010, p.237).

3. Initially, fighting on Imphal- Kohima sector was mainly done by the Japanese with the INA playing the auxiliary role. But when the Japanese were pressed hard, they asked for the services of the Subhas Brigade (N.G Jog, In Freedom Quest, New Delhi, 1969,p.253).

Apparently, this could be the reason why no specific mention of INA independently attacking a sector in Kohima was not highlighted in many accounts. The INA’s own strategy was to avoid setpiece battles for which it lacked arms and armament as well as man-power. The general operation plan envisaged the INA units pushing to Kohima and Imphal with Japanese forces and as the latter fell, the INA was to cross the Brahmaputra and enter Bengal. At Phek, a villager said, “Indian officers led the Japanese into our village and when they spoke

to our elders, they did not sound threatening” (Robert Laymen, End of Empire, 2014, p.79). Sipohu Venuh of the same village said, “I saw men of Black race (INA) who came with the Japanese (Laymen, p.112).

4. The British christened the INA as Jiff (Japanese Inspired Fifth Columnists or Japanese Indian fighting force) as a measure of psychological warfare to defang the nationalist image of Bose Army (Fergal keane, Road of Bones, 2010 p.87). This is because the Japanese troops were frequently accompanied by the detachment of INA who prowled and howled using loudhailer in English and Urdu to seduce the Indians in British Army to forego their allegiance (Lucas Phillips, Springboard to Victory, 1966, p.41). By the end of May when regular INA troops arrived at Kohima, the military position of the Japanese forces in this area had changed for the worse (Esther Kathar, Naga Response to INA movement, 1991, p.47). INA men at Kohima held their post most gallantly though and beat back attack after attack (Majumdar, op.cit., p.598).

5. Before withdrawal, the commander of the INA Brigade was occupying approximately 200 sq. Miles of Indian Territory that was administered by the Azad Hind Dal. The commander was reluctant to withdraw from those liberated area and in a conference of the local Naga chiefs, he explain the whole situation (Majumdar, ibid, p.601), wherein the Nagas implored them not to go back (Shah Nawaz Khan, p.155). But the Japanese troops withdrew to Tamu and the INA much against its will, had to withdraw to the same place. The INA suffered the same fate as the Japanese at Kohima and there were heavy casualties on the retreat where troops complained bitterly of being used as porters by the Japanese (keane, op.cit., p.230).

6. According to John W. Gerber, The Nation, April 22, 1944, Bose had proclaimed in November 1943 that he would march into Bengal and Assam. On April 17, Times magazine noted the danger that Bose posed to the Allied cause.

Bose himself reported at this time that things were going “very well at the frontier” and that the spirit was high, as he described a few lines to Brahmachari Kailasam of the Ramakrishna Mission in Singapore on April 16, 1944, “before crossing the frontier.” (Sugata Bose, His Majesty’s Opponent, Penguin Books, India, 2011, pp.274-275).

7. On May 22, 1944,

No Society is Corruption-Free Society

Berlin Radio had announced about an interview a war correspondent had with Mr. Bose at the Indo-Burma Front (Place not mentioned). On June 21, 1944, Berlin Radio announced: “ S.C. Bose, President of the Provisional Government of India, is at present in India with his army… (Place not mentioned).” (Arun, Testament of Subhas Bose, Raj Kamal Publications, Delhi, 1946, p.159).

8. By mid-May (1944), the Subhas Brigade had hoisted the Indian flag on the Mountain tops around Kohima. The Nagas, the major tribal community around Kohima, Shah Nawaz reported, were helpful to the INA troops (Sugata Bose, His Majesty’s Opponent, Penguin Books, India, 2011, p.276, also refer: History of the Freedom Movement in India by R.C. Majumdar, Vol.3, Firma KLM Private Ltd., Calcutta, 1996, p.598).

9. It has been stated on Netaji Week, July 4, 1944, that Subhas Babu arrived from the front on the 2nd (July). He was supposed to have toured the “whole front for the last two months and had personally inspired the soldiers of the Fauj.” (An extract from the Diary of a Rebel Daughter, quoted in Shanawaz Khan’s, p.132) N.B: Subhas Bose addressed the function.

10. On August 5, 1944, Tokyo Radio had announced that Netaji Bose addressed a Press Conference held at the Indian National Army Headquarters in India (Place not mentioned). Besides other things, Bose is said to have stated: “We have successfully crossed the border of our Motherland, and we have routed the enemy on several fronts in India.”

(Arun, p.161) 11. It is also equally important to mention here that few eyewitnesses who had seen Netaji in the year of the war are still alive to clear any doubts regarding the current unexpected development on this subject matter.

It is not a purpose here to describe the battle of Kohima. But an undeniable fact is, when the news of the advancing Japanese and the INA reached the British soldiers in their outposts in the Naga villages, they packed up and left. Almost all the villages on the eastern frontier, some in the confine of Kohima, remained undefended throughout the war. It was under such situation that the villagers from several villages came into close association with the Japanese and the INA. The village of Ruzazho was one of them, which got the privilege to receive Subhas Chandra Bose and the INA,

including a sizable number of Japanese soldiers from the 31st Division. Even though Netaji did not fly into our region on flying machine, the private plane gifted to him by Japan must have been used by him elsewhere to carry out his work.

The INA depended on the Japanese army supplies and transport systems during the war. Above all, Bose couldn’t be loitering around in Burma all throughout the war because his destiny was India and his mission was for the liberation of his Mother country from foreign rule.

It is also pertinent to mention that vast treasure of Japanese memoirs remains locked out of view of international scholars because they have not been translated into English and at the same times reluctance of Japanese themselves to recount the event until recently where they seems to be opening up. For this reason, most sources of information fed to us has been Anglo-American bearing mostly one side story written by victors in their own light. In the midst of whom the battle took place, places are awash with stories which still lies embedded in the local narrative forming and important piece of oral history. Hence to conclude the victors history as the history would be like claiming a rupee coin has only a number printed on it and refusing to admit that there is also another side with a lions head or some an Indian map. However as you keep on with your so called history arrogantly demanding us for proof, The Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Memorial Development Society Nagaland is giving you a short glimpse again to enlighten you that Netaji and INA did come to Naga Hills in 1944. After all, history cannot be treated as political science or some mere politics, which you seem to be good at, being a political science graduate.

If you are still not convinced and still think that this is no history, we would like to know what to you is historical fact?

Historical proof ? Distorting history? Or with what kind of scientific research methodology and levels of objectivity you applied to arrived to your conclusion of Bose and INA’s absence in the Naga Hills in 1944, as you would accuse others of not using those in their research work.

UP Police publishes ‘booklet of goodwill’ Singh here. The UP Police had launched a ‘Get well soon’ campaign for the Swiss couple, Quentin Jeremy Clerc and his partner Marie Droz, both in their 20s, who while strolling around a railway track in Fatehpur Sikri were attacked by local youth.

The police had also appealed to people to tweet comments with the hashtag #GWSMarieAndJeremy. Thousands has sent in their comments on this and they have been

compiled in the book, Rahul Srivastava, PRO to the DGP, told IANS. On the directions of the DGP, Srivastava and the SSP, Agra, Amit Pathak personally handed over a copy of the booklet to the deputy head of the Swiss mission in India, Tamara Mona, and Raveesh Kumar, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson.

Srivastava said the media in Switzerland has done stories on this cam-

paign of the UP Police and the unique initiative has been appreciated a lot.

“The idea was a goodwill gesture on the part of the UP Police. Initially our focus was to arrest the guilty and bring them to book, and after that we thought of the Swiss couple and their ordeal and decided to express our solidarity with them through this gesture in the form of a booklet,” the official added.

NEW DELHI, NOV 10 (IANS): There was no decline in pollution levels in the Delhi-NCR region on Friday as major pollutants across all monitoring stations remained at “severe” level.

The data collected from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) showed that the levels of PM2.5 and PM10 (particles with diameter less than 2.5 and 10mm) were “severe”.

The CPCB data showed the average Air Quality Index (AQI) of Delhi at 480, close to “severe-plus”, while the average PM2.5 (particles with diameter less than 2.5) of 24 active monitoring stations was 479 units by 12 p.m.

Plea seeks action against motorists not having rear view mirrors

MADURAI, NOV 10 (PTI): The Madras High Court has directed the Tamil Nadu transport department to consider taking action against motorists, who did not have rear and side-view mirrors in their vehicles.

Justices M Venugopal and Abdul Quddhose gave the direction to the transport commissioner on a representation by B

Ramkumar Adityan, who said that rules mandated that vehicles should have rear view mirrors to monitor the traffic around but these are removed by several vehicle owners.

These were fitted by companies which manufactured them, but in many vehicles these were removed, he contended.

M o s t ly yo u t h s in the age group of

15-24 tend to remove rear view mirrors from their vehicles and this posed a major risk to other motorists, he submitted. Vehicles should have both rear and side-view mirrors as per motor vehicles rules. Hence, the judges directed officials to consider action against those driving/riding vehicles which did not have rear and side-view mirrors.

New Delhi, Nov 10 (PTI): Gold prices went up Rs 80 to Rs 30,530 per 10 grams Friday, comforted by a positive global trend, along with increased buying by local jewellers to meet ongoing wedding season demand.

In contrast, silver slumped Rs 125 to Rs 40,575 per kg, driven down by reduced demand from industrial units. Apart from the firm trend overseas, traders said, local gold jewellers intensified their buying at the domestic spot market, which mainly led to the rise in prices. Globally, gold rose 0.21 per cent to trade at almost a 3-week high of USD 1,283.50 an ounce in New York yesterday amid uncertainty over US tax reforms.

In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purity moved up by Rs 80 each to Rs 30,530 and Rs 30,380 per 10 grams, respectively.

Sovereign, however, remained steady at Rs 24,700 per piece of eight grams.

Silver declined by Rs 125 to Rs 40,575 per kg and weekly-based delivery by Rs 110 to Rs 39,660.

The reduction in rates and simpler rules comes weeks ahead of the Assembly polls in Gujarat where GST and its teething problems has become a major electoral rallying points for state elections scheduled for December 4 and 11.

“This time we had some cushion available from SBI Life stake sale.

So, we thought it through to increase our provision coverage ratio at 65 per cent. The effort will be to strengthen it further,” he added.

In line with its provisioning requirement against potential losses as directed by the RBI, State Bank has made 75 per cent of the requirement upfront in case all accounts are admitted to the NCLT. The bank’s asset quality, however, improved during the July-September quarter as fresh slippages declined by more than half.

Slippages as a ratio of the total loan book fell to 1.85 per cent, from 5.37 per cent during the previous quarter.

The strategy the bank intends to adopt is we come closer to the expected loss as far as our NPAs is concerned,” the Chairman said.

SBI on Friday posted a 37 per cent fall in standalone net profit for the second quarter ending September at Rs 1,581 crore pulled down by higher provisioning for its bad loans.

The country’s biggest lender had registered a profit after tax of Rs 2,006 crore in the corresponding period of the last fiscal.

SBI’s total provisioning, including for NPAs, or bad loans, for the quarter in consideration at Rs 18,418 crore were a whopping 87 per cent over the previous quarter’s figure of Rs 9,869 crore and also 27 per cent higher over the provisioning in the same period last year. “NPA is something we are capable of handling and we will emerge stronger ... maybe two or three more

NEW DELHI, Nov 10 (Agencies): Industrial output slowed in September to 3.8 per cent from a growth of 4.46 per cent during August, official data showed on Friday. It showed a growth of 2.5 per cent in first half of this fiscal compared to 5.8 per cent a year before.

of about 60 per cent of the world’s GDP. The US President’s more fiery and protectionist tone offered a stark departure from just a day earlier, when in Beijing, Trump seemed reluctant to press his case as sharply with Chinese President Xi Jinping, the Post said.

There, Trump lavished praise on Xi and blamed his predecessors, not China, for the trade imbalance.

He also laid out Washington’s new approach to trade, telling the audience at the summit on Friday that he would no longer pursue multi-national trade agree-

ments “that tie our hands, surrender our sovereignty and make meaningful enforcement practically impossible.

“I will make bilateral trade agreements with any Indo-Pacific nation that wants to be our partner and that will abide by the principles of fair and reciprocal trade,” Trump said without directly mentioning TransPacific Partnership (TPP), a major trade deal with 12 APEC member countries.

After taking office, Trump pulled the US out of the TPP, arguing it would hurt US economic interests.

In a tacit knock on Chinese leaders, the US leader said Washington would “no longer tolerate the audacious theft of intellectual property”, CNN reported.

“We will confront the destructive practices of forcing businesses to surrender their technology to the state, and forcing them into joint ventures in exchange for market access,” he said.

BEIJING, NOV 10 (IANS): The Chinese Foreign Ministry on Friday hinted that the country’s top diplomat, Yang Jiechi, will continue as its Special Representative on border talks with India as of now, saying it has not heard of any change.

According to media speculation, China is likely to appoint a new State Councillor and Special Representative in March. Yang, the incumbent, was re-elected to the Communist Party’s powerful Central Committee last month.

This means he might be promoted and may be succeeded by China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi. “I have not heard about any changes in the Spe-

“have foiled all partition plans and the goals of terrorism and the countries sponsoring it,” Assad said.

With its collapse in Boukamal on Thursday, the Islamic State group has no major territory in Syria or Iraq. Its militants are believed to have pulled back into the desert, east and west of the Euphrates River. The group has a small presence near the capital, Damascus.

The Euphrates now stands as the dividing line between Syrian government troops and the SDF in much of Deir el-Zour province.

Gover nment forces and their allies, including Iranian troops and fighters from the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, control the western bank. They hold the provincial capital and several small oil fields.

The Kurdish-led force, along with American troops advising them, is on the eastern bank. They hold two of Syria’s largest oil fields, nearly a dozen smaller ones, one of the largest gas fields and large parts of the border with Iraq.

last year, a possible sign of things to come in other areas that the Kurdish-dominated forces control in their selfrule area in northern Syria, now about 25 percent of the country’s territory.

The question now is whether the United States is willing to confront the troops of Syrian President Bashar Assad and Iranian-backed militiamen. The Kurds are seeking a clear American commitment to help them defend their gains. American officials have said little of their plans and objectives in Syria beyond general statements about continuing to deny IS safe havens and continuing to train and equip allies.

During a meeting this week with Ali Akbar Velayati, the adviser of Iran’s supreme leader, Assad said his war was against terrorism and against plans to partition Syria, a direct reference to Kurdish aspirations for a recognized autonomous zone in the north. He repeated that his government plans to regain control of all of Syria.

BEIRUT, NOV 10 (AGENCIES): With the fall of the Islamic State group’s last significant stronghold in Syria, Iranian and Russianbacked Syrian troops now turn to face off with their main rival, the US-backed forces holding large oil fields and strategic territory in the country’s north and east.

The complicated map puts US and Iranian forces at close proximity, standing just across the Euphrates River from each other, amid multiple hotspots that could turn violent, particularly in the absence of a clear American policy.

Iran threatened last week that Syrian troops will advance toward Raqqa, the former IS capital, which fell to the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces in October, raising the potential for a clash there. The Kurdishled SDF also controls some of Syria’s largest oil fields, in the oil-rich eastern Deir el-Zour province, an essential resource that the Syrian government also says it will take back. The SDF also faces restlessness in an Arabmajority town it liberated

“We are not going to let the US be taken advantage of anymore,” Trump said, speaking shortly after arriving in Vietnam, his fourth stop on a five-country tour through Asia.

“I am always going to put America first, the same way that I expect all of you in this room to put your countries first,” the Washington Post reported.

PIL filed in Gujarat HC against release of film on Kejriwal GANDHINAGAR, NOV 10 (IANS): A PIL demanding stay on the release of film ‘An Insignificant Man’ based on AAP leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been filed in the Gujarat High Court.

The PIL, filed on Thursday, has been posted for hearing on Monday.

The Gujarat Assembly elections are in December and the model code of conduct (MCC) is in effect right now.

Advocate Bhavik Samani filed the PIL seeking the Gujarat High Court’s direction to the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) to restrain release of the film on the ground that the MCC is in effect in Gujarat in view of the assembly polls. He said that the film is scheduled to be released on November 17. Somani has written to the Election Commission of India (ECI) saying ‘An Insignificant Man’ violates the MCC. According to

sources, AAP is likely to contest on 25 seats in Gujarat polls scheduled for December 9 and 14.

The trailer of the 100-minute documentary, which has real-life characters essaying the roles, has been out on the social media.

The lawyer has also requested the ECI to see that the film should not be viral on the internet too as it is an important medium of campaign and it can influence the voters to a great

extent. Samani has dubbed the film as AAP’s election propaganda material, and said it would not be shown under the party’s election expenditure but as the producer’s expenditure. “The film includes real-life footages right from the rallies of Kejriwal and his team during the Jan Lokpal stir to poll campaigns at Delhi and other places,� said Somani.

The advocate also argued that in the modern age of digitization, the

spread of a film or its teaser could be an indirect advertisement of a particular party and also denial of opportunity of level playing field for other parties for free and fair elections.

NEW DELHI, NOV 10 (IANS): A 24-year-old law student was shot dead here by an unidentified bike-borne assailant after a scuffle, police said on Friday.

Police said the incident took place on late Thursday night when the deceased, Ashish Bhardwaj, a final year law student of a Gurugram-based private college, was walking along with his friends, near their residence in Nala Road in Burari. “The biker intervened and abused them for walking so late in the night which led to an altercation.

They indulged in a scuffle and Bhardwaj’s friends Anup and Himanshu tried to overpower the accused. The biker pulled out his pistol and fired at Bhardwaj,� a senior police officer said.

Anup and Himanshu, who are preparing for the civil services examination, informed the police and Bhardwaj was taken to a nearby hospital where he was declared dead on arrival, the police officer said.

Bhardwaj stayed here with his elder brother. “We are investigating the case to ascertain the identity of the accused person. A probe is on with all possible angles including personal animosity,� he added.

Mamata defends Delhi CM Kejriwal over pollution

Mamata Banerjee KO L K ATA , N OV 1 0 (IANS): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday suggested the Central government open a dialogue with chief ministers of neighbouring states to flesh out a solution to Delhi’s pollution problem instead of blaming her Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal. “Global warming is a problem. Delhi pollution a disaster. Instead of blaming

each other, I suggest Centre sit with CMs of neighbouring states - Punjab, Haryana, Delhi - to solve problem,�

Banerjee tweeted. The Trinamool Congress supremo defended Kejriwal. “Only to accuse Delhi CM is not solution. It’s national problem & we need to find a solution,� she said.

The Delhi High Court has said there is an “emergency situation� vis-a-vis pollution in Delhi-NCR region and asked the Delhi government to consider implementing cloud seeding to induce artificial rain apart from vehicle rationing on roads. Kejriwal has blamed stubble burning for the “severe� air quality and said the neighbouring states of Haryana and Punjab should come together with Delhi to find a solution.

NEW DELHI, NOV 10 (IANS): The central government on Friday told the Supreme Court that it will bring a bill during the Winter Session of Parliament to amend the Representation of People Act for allowing Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) to exercise their franchise from their offshore locations.

Supreme Court Seeking that the matter be adjourned for six months, the central government on Friday told the bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justice A.M. Khanwilkar and Justice D.Y. Chandrachud that permitting the NRIs to vote from their overseas location was being done through legislation that will be brought during the Winter Session of Parliament.

However, the court adjourned the hearing for 12 weeks.

In the earlier hearing of the matter on July 21, the top court had asked the central government to tell it the time it would require for bringing a bill to amend the Representation of People Act. A team of ministers had on July 20, 2017, decided that to “facilitate external modes of voting to the overseas electors, amendment to the Representation of People Act, 1951 would be required by way of introduction of Bill in Parliament�, the bench was told during the July 21 hearing.

NEW DELHI, NOV 10 (AGENIES): Central government plans to spray water over the national capital to try to combat toxic smog that has triggered a pollution emergency, officials said on Friday, with conditions expected to get worse over the weekend.

Illegal crop burning in farm states surrounding New Delhi, vehicle exhaust in a city with limited public transport and swirling construction dust have caused the crisis, as they do year after year.

“Sprinkling water is the only way to bring down the dangerous pollution levels,” said Shruti Bhardwaj, the environment ministry’s most senior official in charge of monitoring air quality.

The government was finalising the plans to spray the water from a height of 100 metres, which would be unprecedented, she said, without saying how much

KAPURTHALA (PB), NOV 10 (PTI): Six members of an inter- state gang, who allegedly looted more than Rs one crore from around two-dozen ATMs, were today arrested in Punjab’s Kapurthala district, police said. Moreover, Rs 13 lakh cash, two cars and one motorcycle were also seized from the gang, who were nabbed from Sultanpur Lodhi city of the district on a tip-off, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Sandeep Kumar Sharma said here. The gang confessed to have committed 25 ATM robberies in Punjab, one in Ambala, Haryana, and another in Himachal Pradesh, and looted more than Rs one crore after breaking the machines with the help of tools, Sharma said.

The six arrested were identified as Charanjit Singh, Daljit Singh, Balwinder Singh, Suraj Singh, Jagat Narain and Manpreet Singh, the SSP added.

the arrested student is not strong so far, sources say.

The owner of the knife shop where he allegedly bought the murder weapon did not confirm selling it to the boy. The shop owner reportedly told investigators he “does not remember who he sold the knife to”.

The detained student will also be taken to the school as investigators try to reconstruct the crime.

The CBI has told a Juvenile Court that the teen confessed to the crime in the presence of his father, independent witnesses and a social welfare board member. The motive, apparently, was to delay an exam.

The Haryana police had produced the student in court not as a suspect but as a witness. On September 8, Pradyuman, a Class 2 student, was found with his throat slashed some 15 minutes after he and his older sister were dropped off by their father in the morning.

Seven hours later, the police declared that the killer was schoolbus conductor Ashok Kumar - seen on security video - and he murdered Pradyuman after trying to sexually assault him. The police had claimed that they recovered the knife from him, but CBI sources say a knife could have been planted.

NEW DELHI, NOV 10 (AGENCIES): A Class 11 student accused of killing seven-year-old Pradyuman Thakur at the Ryan International School in Gurgaon last month had been the CBI’s main suspect for over a month, sources say. Six days after filing a case, the CBI or Central Bureau of Investigation searched the 16-year-old boy’s home and seized “some items” that it told a court it needs to retain.

Sources say there is reason to believe the teen was a suspect even before Gurgaon police handed over the case to the CBI on September 22.

In CCTV footage that was sent for “scientific analysis” after the police dubbed it as too unclear, the student is the last to leave the toilet where Pradyuman’s throat was slit. He allegedly told a teacher that he saw Pradyuman “vomiting blood”.

The role of another student who was with the accused teen when he informed a gardener and a teacher about the child’s blood-soaked body is also being investigated, sources say.

“The CBI is verifying how the second boy came to know. It is part of trying to establish the sequence of events,” sources say.

Taking to Twitter, he also said that the government cannot break the back of small and medium size enterprises in the country, crush the informal sector and destroy millions of jobs.

NEW DELHI, NOV 10 (PTI): The All India Lawyers Union (AILU) has condemned the Rajasthan government ordinance which seeks to protect judges, magistrates and public servants from being probed without prior sanction, saying it reflected the “authoritarian” attitude of the state government.

The lawyers’ body demanded the immediate withdrawal of the Criminal Laws (Rajasthan Amendment) Bill, 2017, terming it as “unconstitutional”, “oppressive” and “undemocratic”. “It demonstrates the authoritarian approach of Rajasthan’s BJP Government,” the AILU’s Delhi branch said in a statement.

“After one year of demonetisation, we can say that it could not wipe out black money,” he said.

Both demonetisation and GST have brought down the pace of the economy, he said. The attorney general had submitted before the apex court that the government hoped Rs 4-5 lakh crore would not return to the system, but that did not happen, he said.

“Around 99 per cent money got deposited in the banks.” People, he added, had deposited money in huge amounts in banks.

“A raid raj is going on across the country and cases are being registered under Income Tax Act. Years will go in deciding whether the deposited money was black money or not,” the former finance minister said.

amid mounting tensions on the Korean peninsula and heated rhetoric between Washington and Pyongyang.

But organiser Cardinal Peter Turkson told the audience hall today that the gathering was planned well before President Donald Trump began his Asia trip, where the North Korean nuclear threat has been at the forefront of his agenda.

Drawing laughs from the largely secular audience, Turkson said it was “divine providence” that the conference and US president’s trip coincided.

Opening the debate, the Vatican secretary of state, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, told the conference that the time had come for world powers to do away with their policy of nuclear deterrence.

“International peace and stability cannot be based on a false sense of security, on a threat of mutual destruction or total annihi-

lation or simply maintaining a balance of power,” he said.

And if nuclear weapons were to be used, the effects would be devastating for humanity and future generations, warned Francois Bugnion, of the International Committee of the Red Cross.

“As the ICRC learned in Hiroshima, there are no effective means of assisting survivors while protecting those delivering assistance,” he said. “The majority of victims will be denied the medical assistance they need.” The conference is the first major international gathering since 122 countries approved a new UN treaty in July calling for the complete elimination of nuclear weapons.

However, none of the nuclear powers and no NATO members signed on.

They argued the treaty’s lofty ideals were unrealistic given the rapid expansion of North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme.

H O U S TO N, N OV 1 0 (AGENCIES): Texas shooter Devin Kelley, who killed 26 people inside a church, bought animals from an advertisements website and had used dogs as “target practice”, according to the gunman’s former Air Force colleague.

Jessika Edwards, who worked with Kelley at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico from 2010 to 2012, said the 26-year-old shooter had displayed a fascination with mass murders while he was enlisted in the Air Force.

“He would make jokes about wanting to kill somebody. And we would say, ‘wait, that’s not funny’,” Edwards was quoted as saying by the CNN. She said Kelley told her he was “using the dogs as target practice”.

Edwards said Kelley had revealed to her that he had bought animals on Craigslist with the sole intention of killing them.

The morbid admission came in Facebook messages starting in 2014, she said, after the two reconnected in civilian life.

She said Kelley’s obsession for killing was so pronounced that when he was disciplined for poor performance she told her bosses to “back off or he would shoot the place up”.

“He was always getting into trouble. It was problem after problem,” Edwards was quoted as saying in the report.

A law enforcement source close to the Texas shooting investigation confirmed to the channel that the FBI agents interviewed Edwards about her interactions with the gunman.

Paris, Nov 10, (AFP): The failure of wealthy nations to deliver on shortterm climate commitments could hinder the rollout of a landmark treaty, a bloc of 134 developing countries, including India and China, warned on Thursday at UN negotiations in Bonn.

The diplomatic spat has underscored the difficulty of reaching a consensus at the 196-nation talks.

“If we do not respect decisions that we have made, then how can we build trust among the parties?” said Chen Zhihua, China’s senior negotiator, referring to long-standing pledges by rich nations to enhance financial support and “revisit” targets for curbing greenhouse gas emissions before 2020.

“And how can we lay a good foundation for the implementation of the Paris Agreement?” he added at a press conference, flanked by diplomats from India, Iran, Nicaragua and Ecuador.

The treaty, inked outside the French capital in 2015, calls on the world to cap global warming at “well below” two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit), and even 1.5 C if possible.

Wi t h o n e d e g r e e of warming so far, the planet has already seen an increase in drought, deadly heatwaves and superstorms.

The pact rests on voluntary carbon-cutting pledges from virtually every country in the world.

“The science is clear:

if we don’t get our act together before 2020, you can forget about the 2 C and 1.5 C targets,” said Paul Oquist, Nicaragua’s chief negotiator at the talks.

“There has been a failure to comply with existing commitments,” he added.

Under the terms of the UN’s core climate convention, the burden for action before 2020 falls mainly on wealthy countries historically responsible for the rapid rise of greenhouse gases.

China is the world’s top carbon polluter, followed by the United States, the European Union, India and Russia.

Developing countries sought to have a “pre-2020 agenda” formally added to the negotiating process, but the move was shelved at the start of the 12-day talks. Efforts to resolve the issue have so far been fruitless.

“It would be a bad thing if this hangs over into the second week and becomes a political issue for ministers,” said Alden Meyer, director of strategy and policy for the Union of Concerned Scientists in Washington DC. “It has been a pretty sterile debate that has degenerated into a fingerpointing exercise,” he told AFP. Some 20 heads of state, including French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, are scheduled to appear at the UN climate forum next week.

L A H O R E , N OV 1 0 (AGENCIES): Six mainstream religious parties of Pakistan have decided to revive Muttahida Majlise-Amal (MMA), a decade after the political alliance was dissolved over differences.

The parties in the MMA represent all the four schools of thought - Brelvi, Deobandi, Ahle Hadith and Shia.

The Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (United Council of Action) would contest next elections under the old symbol (book) and manifesto.

The parties’ heads decided to contact other religious parties to convince them to join the alliance.

The six parties are Jamaat-e-Islami, Jamiat Ulma-i- Islam-Fazal, Jamiat Ulma-i-Pakistan-Noorani, Markazi Jamiat Ahle Hadith, Jamiat Ulema-iIslam-Samiual Haq and Islami Tehreek.

The leaders of these parties held a meeting yesterday at Jamaat-i-Islami headquarters in Lahore’s Mansoora and announced that they have decided in principle to revive the MMA. The leaders of the parties expressed hope that under the MMA platform

charged him last year with terrorist murders.

His silence has even prompted his lawyers, Frank Berton of France and Sven Mary of Belgium, to abandon his defence. Jailed in Europe’s biggest prison at FleuryMerogis, south of Paris, Abdeslam is being held in solitary confinement and monitored around the clock in his cell.

In recent months the conditions of his detention have been slightly relaxed after signs that his mental health was deteriorating.

Justice Minister Nicole Belloubet yesterday confirmed fears he could commit suicide -- something that the victims’ families want to avoid, eager to see him stand trial.

“We are doing everything to make that impossible,” Belloubet told LCI television, saying Abdeslam had now been granted a window and limited contact with others. He has received letters in prison -- sometimes praising his actions -- and responded to some of them, including to a woman whom he reportedly told: “I’m not ashamed of who I am.”

Abdeslam surprised many by offering to appear at a separate trial in Belgium for the attempted murder of police officers injured in a shootout at an apartment in the Brussels neighbourhood of Forest, three days before his capture. He is believed to have fled during the shootout before finally being captured across the city in Molenbeek, where he once ran a bar with his brother Brahim, one of the Paris suicide bombers.

Vatican City, Nov 10 (AP): The Vatican today hosted Nobel laureates, UN and NATO officials and a handful of nuclear powers at a conference aimed at galvanising support for a global shift from the Cold War era policy of nuclear deterrence to one of total nuclear disarmament.

Pope Francis was to address the conference, adding his voice to the campaign that produced a new UN treaty calling for the elimination of atomic weapons, and a Nobel Peace Prize for the small advocacy group that was instrumental in pushing the treaty through.

Among those speaking at the two-day meeting were Beatrice Fihn, executive director of the Nobel-winning International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, and Masako Wada, who survived the atomic bombing of Nagasaki and has gone onto become a prominent disarmament activist.

The conference comes

Paris, Nov 10 (AFP): Two years after the deadliest terror attacks in modern French history, the only surviving suspect to take part in the carnage in Paris remains an enigma.

Captured after four months on the run following a massive international manhunt, Salah Abdeslam is now France’s most closely guarded detainee.

But the 28-year-old petty criminal-turned-jihadist has not been the goldmine of information investigators have hoped for: he refuses to talk.

Abdeslam’s role in the events leading up to November 13, 2015, when Islamic State jihadists armed with guns and bombs killed 130 people enjoying a Friday night out, has yet to be fully understood. His suicide belt was found in the southern Paris suburbs several days after the bloodshed.

Did he change his mind about blowing himself up, as he told friends before he was finally arrested in Brussels? Or was the device defective? Abdeslam, a French national of Moroccan origin, is known to have played a key role in organising logistics for the attacks, renting cars and hideouts and helping several jihadists get into Europe via the migrant trail.

And the sprawling investigation has revealed links to the jihadists involved in the Br ussels bombings on March 22, 2016 -- four days after his arrest. What is infuriating for investigators -- and for the families of victims seeking answers -- is Abdeslam’s refusal to cooperate since French authorities

Switzerland on top after 1-0 win against N Ireland WORLD CUP 2018 PLAY-OFF FIRST LEG

Swiss players celebrate after Ricardo Rodriguez scored a goal.

B e l f a s t, N o v 1 0 (Agencies): Northern Ireland’s World Cup hopes hang by a thread after a contentious 1-0 defeat by Switzerland in the first leg of their play-off at Windsor Park.

The Swiss dominated the ball from start to finish but controversially took the lead on 58 minutes when Ricardo Rodriguez converted a penalty after Corry Evans was penalised for handball.

It means Northern Ireland, who failed to register a single shot on target, have it all to do in Sunday’s return leg in Basel if they are to reach the World Cup finals for the first time since 1986.

Switzerland were perhaps unfortunate to find themselves in the play-offs having won nine of their 10 qualification games, but there was no sign of self-pity from the visitors - Fabian Schar’s reckless tackle on

Stuart Dallas fortunate to avoid more severe punishment.

Granit Xhaka had Switzerland’s first chance, which he fired over from the edge of the area, before Michael McGovern’s stunning fingertip save denied Croatia cruise to Haris Serefovic from steerwin over Greece ing Xherdan Shaqiri’s cross home on 19 minutes.

Croatia cruised to a 4-1 Northern Ireland set- victory over Greece in their tled as the half wore on but World Cup play-off first leg failed to threaten Yann Som- on Thursday to move to the

Stephens, Konta to play Sydney International

Sloane Stephens

SYD N EY, N o v 1 0 (Agencies): US Open titlist Sloane Stephens and defending champion Johanna Konta will boost a strong women’s draw for the Sydney International in January, organisers said on Friday.

World number 13 Stephens and ninth-ranked Konta join seven-time Grand Slam winner Venus

Williams and French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko in the field for the January 7-13 event as they warm up for the Australian Open.

American Stephens has enjoyed a remarkable comeback season, vaulting more than 900 places up the rankings from August to September after almost a year out with a left foot injury.

mer’s goal, and the Swiss continued their dominance immediately after the interval as Shaqiri’s curling effort clipped the top of the bar.

Seferovic came within inches of breaking the deadlock on 55 minutes but he could not stretch enough to get on the end of Blerim Dzemaili’s low cross.

But the Swiss finally made a breakthrough in contentious circumstances as Rodriguez sent McGovern the wrong way from 12 yards, after Evans was harshly adjudged to have blocked Shaqiri’s goal-bound volley.

Keen to restore parity before Sunday’s trip to Switzerland, Northern Ireland mounted a late rally but they failed to level the contest, Josh Magennis heading the hosts’ best chance well wide on 71 minutes. That left Switzerland to see out the victory which puts them in a strong position to reach Russia 2018, Northern Ireland will have to do it the hard way if they are to reach next summer’s tournament.

Johanna Konta

Konta followed this year’s Sydney win with a quarter-final appearance at the Australian Open and went on to claim a second WTA Premier title in Miami. “Winning Sydney is one of my highlights of this year and really helped to kick start what’s been the best season of my career so far,” British star Konta said.

brink of a spot at next year’s finals in Russia.

Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric opened the scoring in Zagreb from the penalty spot in the 13th minute, after Greek goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis brought down striker Nikola Kalinic.

Croatia doubled their lead six minutes later when an unmarked Kalinic flicked in a low cross from Ivan Strinic.

The visitors pulled one back on the half-hour mark when captain Sokratis Papastathopoulos scored a header from a corner.

But just three minutes later, a quick Croatian attack down the right flank ended with Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic powering home a close-range header at the back post.

Andrej Kramaric tapped in to increase Croatia’s lead four minutes after half-time and leave Greece with it all to do in the return fixture on Sunday in Piraeus.

The two countries’ football federations have agreed that both matches will be played without visiting fans for security reasons.

Croatia are looking to qualify for their fifth World Cup since 1998.

Fifa World Cup 2018 ball unveiled M o s c ow, N ov 1 0 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : F I FA revived the Telstar, the first made-for-television football used at the 1970 World Cup, as it unveiled on Thursday the official match ball for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

FIFA described the so-called Telstar 18, made

by German sportswear giants Adidas who have supplied the ball at every World Cup since 1970, as “a reinvention of a classic model with a brand-new panel design and the latest technology”.

FIFA will hope it proves more popular than previous World Cup balls.

The original Telstar featured 32 separate pentagonal panels, twelve of which were black to make it more visible in black and white television broadcasts.

Other balls included the Tango (1978), Tango Espana (1982), Azteca (1986), Etrusco (1990), Questra (1994), Tricolore (1998) and Fevernova (2002).

“The Telstar 18 evokes unforgettable memories of the 1970 FIFA World Cup – and of legends like Pele, Gerd Mueller, Giacinto Facchetti, Pedro Rocha and Bobby Moore,” FIFA said.

Hardik Pandya rested BCCI rejects NADA demand for Sri Lanka Tests of testing Indian cricketers

Hardik Pandya

New Delhi, Nov 10 (IANS): Promising allrounder Hardik Pandya has been rested for the threematch Test rubber against Sri Lanka, the BCCI said on Friday.

Pandya, who made his Test debut in Sri Lanka in July, was named in the initial squad for the first two Tests, with the opener set to be played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata from November 16.

“The All-India Senior Selection Committee in consultation with the Indian team management has decided to rest all-rounder Hardik Pandya for the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka. Pandya was named in the squad for the first two Tests,” a BCCI statement read.

The BCCI added that the decision was taken to

negate any major injury concern, considering Pandya had been playing back-toback cricket and India have a very important tour to South Africa up next.

“Considering Pandya’s heavy recent workload, the decision was made to negate any possibility of a major injury concern. Pandya will undergo a period of strength at conditioning at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru,” the statement added. Indian Test squad: Virat Kohli (Captain), Lokesh Rahul, Murali Vijay, Shikhar Dhawan, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane (Vice Captain), Rohit Sharma, Wriddhiman Saha (Wicket-keeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Ishant Sharma.

Therefore, all the WSSA office bearers, advisors and unit presidents have been asked to attend the meeting positively.

New Delhi, Nov 10 (PTI): In a stern response to India’s anti-doping body NADA, the BCCI has said that government body has no jurisdiction to conduct dopes tests on Indian cricketers.

In a letter written on November 8 to NADA chief Navin Agarwal, BCCI CEO Rahul Johri made it clear that there is no requirement for NADA to tests its cricketers since the board is not a National Sports Federation (NSF) and its present anti-doping system is robust enough.

“It is relevant to mention here that BCCI is not a National Sports Federation. Accordingly, NADA does not have jurisdiction to conduct dope testing of Indian cricketers in any domestic or international event organised or under the aegis of BCCI,” Johri wrote in the letter.

“In light of the aforesaid, there is no requirement for any BCCI official to coordinate with NADA for dope testing of Indian cricketers either during competitions or out of completions.”

The BCCI response was prepared with instructions from Supreme Courtappointed Committee of Administrators.

Besides responding to the NADA chief, Johri also wrote back to the sports secretary, who had approached the BCCI in October to cooperate with NADA. The Ministry had stated that lack of co-operation from BCCI on the subject may run the risk of NADA not complying with World Anti-Doping Agency

(WADA) Code.

Johri said BCCI’s existing antidoping mechanism is robust enough.

“The BCCI already has a robust dope testing mechanism which is employed for both during competitions and out-ofcompetitions and the testing of samples by IDTM is already being done at WADA accredited laboratory (NDTL) under aegis of the Sports Ministry.”

He further claimed that the BCCI is compliant with the WADA Code.

“You will appreciate that for analysis and testing of samples, BCCI adheres to the WADA International Standard of Laboratories and the WADA International Standard for Testing and Investigations.

“Accordingly, the BCCI has engaged the services of same expert sample collection agency that is also engaged by the ICC to prove sample collection services viz, International Doping Tests and Management (IDTM).

“The IDTM sends the collected samples for testing to a WADA accredited laboratory viz, National Dope Testing Laboratory (NDTL), as mandated

by WADA. Since the CEO of NDTL is sports secretary, the dope testing for BCCI is conducted under the aegis of the Sports Ministry,” wrote Johri.

He further reasoned that since BCCI is an autonomous body affiliated to the International Cricket Council (ICC), it is only required to operate within the rules and regulations of the ICC. K Y M C
