Correspondent

KOHIMA, NOV 22 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio stressed on preserving and promoting the unique culture and traditions of Nagas, as these reflected and shaped “our values and beliefs”, besides defining the unique identity of the Nagas.

Sharing his concern over imitation of Western culture by the youth,

Coming together of Nagas desire of WC: Neokpao

the chief minister called for keeping alive the rich culture and traditions of the Nagas by teaching the young folk songs and dances.

Speaking at the unveiling of Tuophema Village Foundation memorial monolith comprising Kense and Kaco clans of the village on Friday, Rio remarked that the Nagas were blessed people and had prospered over the

years through the blessings of their ancestors who had lived their lives with good values and morals.

Rio therefore urged the present generation to imbibe and inculcate the good values that “our ancestors” had left behind and live “our lives” well in unity among “ourselves and with our neighbours as well”.

He said it was important to know “our history and roots” to have a better understanding of “ourselves” and others, and also to identify as to “who we are and where we come from”.

The chief minister further reminded the villagers that they had a huge responsibility as the village was a “tourist village” where people from all walks of life from far and near came to witness its beauty and essence.

Lauding the villagers for their efforts in maintaining cleanliness, the chief minister however, said that they could still make it cleaner, adding “a clean village reflects the health and wellbeing of its dwellers”.

Narrating a brief history of Tuophema village,

head GB Thekrucha Kaco and GB Salieo Kense narrated how the Kense and Kaco clans wanted to establish a new village.

The duo informed the gathering that it was said that Kense clan members used to come from the present Gariphema village, while Kaco clan members came from Phenwhenyu village and met at the present Tuophema village a number of times.

However, since it was the head-hunting days and they did not know each others’ intention and language, they pointed their spears at each other and used to depart to their respective villages.

One day, through sign language, they both understood that they wanted to establish a new village.

Hence, after counting their fingers to seven, they returned on the seventh day and laid the foundation of Tuophema village at the present spot.

Initially, the village was known as Hutuophema, but during the British rule it was shortened and rechristened as Tuophema, by which name it was known till today, they added.

Oppn asks PM to answer on electoral bonds

Consensus on Uddhav to lead new govt in Maharashtra: Pawar

NEW DELHI, NOV 22 (PTI): The Opposition on Friday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to come clean on the allegations surrounding the electoral bonds scheme and accused the government of legalising corruption. Opposition parties led by the Congress, which protested in Parliament premises and described the issue as a “threat to democracy”, sought to raise the matter in the Rajya Sabha but were not allowed to do by the Chair.

Several senior Congress leaders, including leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad, Congress leader in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhur y, Anand Sharma, Shashi Tharoor and Manish Tewari, protested inside Parliament House premises.

Tewari said there should be a discussion in the house.

“These electoral bonds are a threat to democracy,” he told reporters. MPs held placards asking the prime minister to break his silence on the issue, raised slogans against the government and called for ending the electoral bonds scheme.

MUMBAI, NOV 22 (PTI): The new government in Maharashtra will be led by Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, NCP president Sharad Pawar said on Friday, signalling end of speculation on who will occupy the chief minister’s post as efforts to install a non-BJP dispensation in the state gathered pace.

Emerging from a marathon meeting of top leaders of the Congress, the NCP and the Sena, who are making efforts to form government in Maharashtra, Pawar said there was a consensus on Thackeray’s leadership.

“The issue of leadership is not pending. There are no two opinions on the issue of chief ministership.

There was a consensus on Uddhav Thackeray leading the new government,” he told reporters after the meeting. Asked about Pawar’s statement on Thackeray’s leadership, Sena MLA Eknath Shinde, who attended the meeting, separately told reporters there was “no discussion on that issue”. Pawar said the meeting at Nehru Centre at Worli deliberated extensively on

agenda for governance for the prospective dispensation. “There will be a press conference tomorrow after everything is finalised,” Pawar said.

T h a c k e r a y, w h o emerged from the meeting soon after Pawar, said the talks were held in satisfactory manner. “The talks (on government formation) are progressing in the right direction. Nitty gritties are being discussed now. All the three parties will come before you and all details will be shared after finalisation,” he said. The state has been facing a political

crisis after the Sena broke its three-decade-long ties with the BJP after the latter declined to share the chief minister’s post. The BJP and the Sena, which fought the Assembly polls in alliance, had secured a comfortable majority by winning 105 and 56 seats, respectively, in the 288-member Assembly.

The NCP and the Congress, pre-poll allies, won 54 and 44 seats, respectively.

The combined tally of the Sena, the NCP and the Congress is way beyond the majority mark of 145.

The state is currently under President’s rule.

NEW DELHI, NOV 22 (NPN): Nagaland was awarded for the second consecutive year the ‘Best performing small state in law and order’ and also won this year’s ‘Most improved Small state in entrepreneurship and cleanliness’ by The India Today Group State of the States survey. The 2019

State of the States awards were presented by Union minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change , Prakash Javadekar at a function held at the ITC Maurya Hotel, Delhi. The award for Nagaland was received by Additional Chief Secretary & Resident Commissioner (Nagaland House, Delhi) Jyoti Kalash, IAS. In his speech, Javadekar

said that healthy competition between states was a hallmark of democracy.

Tamil Nadu emerged as the best-performing big state this year while Assam topped the list of most improved states.

M e a n w h i l e, o t h e r North Eastern states like Tripura bagged the best performing and most improved small state in agriculture,

Sikkim--best performing small state in education; most improved small state in governance, Mizoram-best performing small state in inclusive development and environment; most improved small state in economy, health and tourism, Arunachal Pradesh-- most improved small state in infrastructure, education and law and order and Manipur bagged the most improved small state in inclusive development.

It may be recalled that Nagaland was awarded the ‘best performing small state’ in the category of ‘Law & Order’ in the 2018 survey.

The State of the States survey is an annual event organized by The India Today Group, which ranks states on a range of parameters adjudicating for the ‘best performing’ and ‘most improved’ states across the country.

D I M A P U R , N OV 2 2 (NPN): NSCN (I-M) has rejected and condemned what it called “a baseless allegation” by PAC of NCD that its cadres beat up a truck driver and demanded tax of Rs. 15,000.

NSCN (I-M) through its MIP advised PAC “not to stretch its hands too far to interfere into the legitimate rights of NSCN in collecting yearly vehicle tax as a part of the sustenance for Naga political struggle.”

Narrating the event, NSCN (I-M) claimed that its cadres were on duty enquiring the payment of yearly vehicle tax by the truck drivers. During the process, NSCN (I-M) said one of the truck drivers caused “inordinate delay” much to the displeasure of its cadres on duty. It said that cadres went closer to him and put his hands on his shoulder to have closer talks. However,

the move “created panic and while trying to stay away he hit himself against the truck hurting his head.” It also claimed that neither money was taken from him nor a hand was raised against him.

NSCN (I-M) stated that “interestingly” they have learnt that one madam Sema (Khehuli Kibami) as testified by truck drivers has been extorting money amounting to Rs. 4000, 10,000 and 20,000 per truck in the name of KK Agency, Lahorijan, Assam.

It stated that the woman using three different mobile phone numbers has been “frequently” threatening NSCN (I-M) personnel on duty that she would “send Indian security forces to arrest them.” Consequently, NSCN (I-M) claimed that Indian security forces managed to apprehend many of its members.

NSCN (I-M) said it has also come to light that Khehuli and Indian security forces were allegedly “working hand in glove to extort money” in the name of KK Agency.

Stating that it was a matter of necessity to identify “who this woman extortionist” was, NSCN (I-M) queried “On what valid ground she is collecting money from the trucks in the name of KK Agency? Who owned this KK Agency to use Indian security forces to extort money so blatantly?”

In this connection, NSCN (I-M) has asked PAC to be cautious “where they should step into.” NSCN (I-M) further stated that PAC should also draw the line between extortion and tax and “not to go the way to distort Naga political movement by bringing confusion.”

of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, government of India had notified the Municipal Solid Waste (managing and Handling) Rules in 2000, making it mandatory for municipal authorities to set up waste processing and disposal facilities, identify sanitary landfill sites and improve existing dumpsites.

However, the additional director lamented that the compliance did not happen mainly because of the inability of municipalities to implement waste processing and disposal projects.

For the rural areas, Odyuo said although there were no collection systems at present, the inherent practice of source segregation of wet waste for animal feed considerably reduces the problem

of waste segregation.

He further informed that the Governor of Nagaland has notified 33 villages covering 28 blocks for compliance of Solid Waste Management Rules 2016.

Towards this, all village council have been asked to prepare action plans as how to manage their waste as envisaged under Rule 13 of Solid Waste Management Rules 2016.

BJP gets money from firm accused of ‘terror funding’ Sena, NCP, Cong opportunistic; they NEW DELHI, NOV 22 (AGENCIES): The Opposition on Friday accused the BJP of receiving crores in donation from a company being probed by the ED for allegedly buying properties from Iqbal Mirchi, an accused in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts, and asked whether or not it was a case of “treason”.

C o n g r e s s ’s c h i e f spokesperson Randeep Surjewala cited a media report which claimed that the BJP took a large donation from a firm being probed by the Enforcement Directorate for carrying out transactions with and buying properties from the late Mirchi.

The Communist Party of India also stepped up its attack on the party and said it has been “exposed”.

There was no immediate response from the BJP on the allegations.

The attack on the BJP came after news portal ‘The Wire’ reported that it had received large donation from a company being probed by the ED for fa-

Randeep Surjewala cilitating “terror funding”, citing the ruling party’s filings with the Election Commission.

The report said the company, which was involved in transactions with and buying properties from the late Iqbal Memon alias Iqbal Mirchi, gave Rs 10 crore to the BJP in 2014-15.

Mirchi was a close aide of Dawood Ibrahim.

“BJP’s ‘donation saga’ gets murkier -- Electoral Bond Scam to donations from accused of ‘terror funding’! Why did BJP receive Crores in donation from a Company ac-

cused of buying properties of Iqbal Mirchi, a Dawood Ibrahim aide? Is this not ‘treason’ Mr Amit Shah?” Surjewala asked in a tweet.

With “links to Iqbal Mirchi, terror funding companies and a litany of organisation being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate, the BJP’s electoral bond scandal may have crossed over from corruption to treason”, the Congress added in a series of posts from its official Twitter handle.

The Congress also demanded an answer on the

issue from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah.

“As it turns out the ‘Modi Bond of Corruption’ extends to terror funding companies as well. Companies associated with Iqbal Mirchi have donated crore of rupees to the BJP. PM Modi and Amit Shah must answer on these treasonous acts,” the party said.

Terror accused Mirchi is directly connected to three companies that have donated money to the BJP through their dubious electoral bonds scheme, the Congress said.

“Why did BJP accept money from companies linked to terrorists? The PM & HM must answer,” the party said in a tweet.

CPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury accused the BJP of making money from those “abetting terrorism”.

“Such is BJP’s perfidy. BJP milchs the fight against terror to whip up communal nationalist jingoism for electoral profit.

Then fills it’s coffers with

money from those abetting terrorism,” he tweeted.

CPI general secretary D Raja said the Prime Minister needs to explain how “dirty money” or “terror money” could be received as donation by the BJP. “It is no less than terror funding. During demonetisation, Modi screamed that the move was to curb terror funding, then how does he justify receiving the dirty money from a firm linked to a terror accused?” Raja said.

It is the BJP which has consistently supported donations to political parties from corporates, he alleged.

“They have been taking money from various sources without showing any account. They have now been exposed,” the CPI leader said.

The Congress has also stepped up its attack on the Centre over electoral bonds, alleging that the government is a “factory of lies” and demanded that Modi break his silence over the issue.

won’t last beyond 6-8 months: Gadkari

Ranchi, Nov 22 (PTI): Terming the alliance among Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress as opportunistic, senior BJP leader and Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Friday said even if they formed the government in Maharashtra, it will not last beyond six to eight months.

In an interview to PTI here during electioneering in Jharkhand, he said the alliance forged by these “ideologically different” parties was just to keep the BJP out of power, which was unfortunate. The state is going to five-phased polls from November 30.

“Opportunism is the base of their alliance. The three parties have become united with the only motto to keep the BJP out of power. I have doubts whether this government will be formed... Even if it is formed, it will not last beyond six to eight months,” Gadkari told PTI. Shiv Sena, Congress and NCP are discussing the

Nitin Gadkari modalities for forming the government in Maharashtra. A long-time ally, Shiv Sena parted ways with the BJP after the state poll results amid differences over chief ministership.

Asked if the BJP will try forming the government in case the alliance breaks, the minister said in case of such circumstances, the party will decide its future course of strategy.

“Anything can happen in cricket and politics”, he quipped adding that it was beyond his comprehension why the three parties will forge an alliance to form

the government despite huge ideological differences.

The base of Shiv Sena and the BJP alliance was “Hindutva”, he said.

Gadkari said Shiv Sena’s claim that the chief minister would be on a rotational basis was found untrue when he enquired.

“As per party President and others, the party’s stance on chief minister was to be decided later but things took an unfortunate turn,” Gadkari said.

The chief minister should be from the party, which got a higher mandate, he said adding that the decision as to who will be the chief minister lies with Maharashtra party president, state chief minister and the BJP president.

“We did our efforts,” Gadkari said.

On what transpired in the meeting between NCP chief Sharad Pawar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Gadkari said he was not aware of the details.

Alwar police asks 9 Muslim cops to shave beards Jaipur, Nov 22 (PTI): The police in Rajasthan’s Alwar district have disallowed nine policemen from the Muslim community from sporting beards to ensure that they act and look ‘unbiased’ while on duty.

In an order issued by Alwar Superintendent of Police Anil Paris Deshmukh on Thursday, the permission given earlier to the Muslim policemen to keep beards under a provision of the state’s law has been withdrawn with immediate effect. While the Alwar police had given permission to 32 Muslim cops to sport beards, it has been withdrawn for only nine of them.

Speaking to reporters here, Deshmukh said the main objective of the order is that the men in uniform should perform their duties in an unbiased manner.

“Policemen should not only work in an unbiased manner but they should also look unbiased,” the SP said.

“There is a provision of the state government which allows HoD to permit policemen to keep beards. Under the provision, 32 policemen were given permission. Permission of nine policemen has been cancelled while for rest of them it stands unchanged,” he said.

It was not immediately known if the permission to keep beards will also be withdrawn for the remaining 23 policemen. Deshmukh, however, said the decision can be reconsidered and those dissatisfied with the order can give their representations. “Still, if someone is affected (by the order) they can give their representation. Appropriate decision will be taken,” he said.

Anita Anand and Bardish Chagger Minister for Inclusion and Diversity as well as Youth. Mother of four, Anand was born to Indian-origin parents at Kentville, Nova Scotia, and is an academic, lawyer and researcher. Sajjan’s native Bambeli village in Hoshiarpur erupted in joy after his induction for a second time. It coincides with the wedding of his nephew, the son of his younger brother

Jasvir Singh, who resides at the family’s ancestral home along with third brother Balvir Singh.

Sar panch Paramjit Singh said: “It’s a joyous occasion for the village.

Everyone was busy with the wedding and the news of ‘Minister Sahib’ getting re-inducted is an icing on the cake.”

Sajjan, a decorated military veteran and police officer, has served deployments at Bosnia-Herzegovina as well as Kandahar in Afghanistan. While Sajjan last visited his village in 2017, his father Kundan Singh and mother visit every year.

“The family funds football tourneys and sports events here. He is deeply involved in philanthropic and sports activities,” the sarpanch added.

NEW DELHI, NOV 22 (PTI): The Supreme Court Friday agreed to hear in open court the review pleas of some Maradu flat owners in Kochi seeking appropriate relief from the builders.

A bench headed by Justice Arun Mishra said it would hear the review petitions in an open court on the point of appropriate relief from the builders.

The counsel appearing for the Kerala government submitted a status report and said the state had partially complied with the earlier apex court order of demolition of the Maradu flats.

In compliance of the top court’s earlier order, the state government has paid 27.99 crore as interim compensation to the Maradu

flat owners and it will be paying 33.51 crore more to them, the counsel said.

The court then asked the state government to ensure full compliance with its orders, including demolition of the Maradu flats.

It had on October 25 asked the Kerala government to give Rs 25 lakh each as interim compensation to the owners of Maradu flats, being demolished on the court’s orders for violation of environment norms by builders, after it was informed that they have been given a lower amount.

It had directed the builders of Maradu flats to deposit Rs 20 crore within one month with the courtappointed committee in the matter, and said the attached bank account of the builders be detached for

depositing the amount.

The court also asked the committee to assess the documentary proof of payments made by flat owners to builders after some homebuyers told the bench that they had paid more than Rs 25 lakh to the developers.

The committee of a retired high court judge will oversee the demolition and

to assess total compensation payable to affected flat owners.

The court on September 30 refused to entertain a plea of flat owners seeking stay on its order to demolish the four apartment complexes in Maradu which were built in violation of Coastal Regulation Zone norms. On September 27, it directed demolition of

the flats within 138 days, a timeline given by the Kerala government, and had asked the state to pay Rs 25 lakh interim compensation to each flat owner within four weeks. It said the government may consider recovering the interim compensation amount, which will be paid to flat owners, from the builders and the promoters.

Saving heritage

agaland has a poor record in conservation and protection of the environment and that has been a worrying aspect in the light of how the state has been steadily losing forest cover since the past decades while many animal species have long gone extinct. Protection of flora and fauna is not only about the species but also people, their culture and their heritage. The main factor that has caused huge scale destruction of pristine forests along with flora and fauna is due to the old traditional method of jhum cultivation. The other is that the government ,unlike in other states, does not have any legitimate right over land as they belong to the people. This aspect has ensured the gradual destruction of rich forest and wildlife species. The state government has been and continues to be the major player in conservation but it has been fighting a losing battle primarily due to the grey zone of authority over land between landowners versus government. This newspaper has been highlighting the issue of protection of flora and fauna since 1990 and what has been witnessed is the ineffectual implementation and enforcement of forest act by the government itself. However, there are few voluntary organisations including villages that have now taken up the concern in earnest and that is indeed a welcome news even though it may be too little and too late. There was the Green SONS of Wokha and also the Khonoma village in effecting protection of the forest and in particular the famed Blythe’s Tragopan.

Khonoma Nature Conservation and Tragopan Sanctuary or KNCTS is a conservation reserve and a protected area in Kohima district. The total area notified under this park is around 25 square kilometres (9.7 sq mi); some of villages and hamlets are adjacent to this park: Khonoma, Mezoma, Dzülake. The other conservation story is that of the Forest department regarding the protection of Amur Falcons in Wokha district’s Doyang catchment area. Amur falcons used to be hunted in their hundreds and even thousands while roosting in the Doyang catchment area. Since there are no tall trees in the Doyang Catchment area, the Amur falcons are compelled to roost on small trees within the reach of preying poachers. It was due mainly to the persistent efforts of Chief Wildlife Warden (CWW) T. Lotha, that the conservation efforts towards saving the migratory Amur falcon in Wokha was successful and which has now been dubbed as ‘Amur Falcon Capital’. The other Amur falcon story in Changtongya under Mokokchung district has not been successful mainly due to hunting. The Amur falcon conservation story that had evinced international attention served as inspiration to three villages under Longleng district- Yaongyimchen, Alayong and Sanglu- which have shown the way on how to become catalysts for preserving and protecting the biodiversity without any government assistance through self initiatives to promote sustainability. The three villages have formed the Yaongyimchen Community Biodiversity Conservation Area (YCBCA), maintained by a committee under the aegis of Lemsachenlok organisation.

In recognition of their work at YCBCA, Lemsachenlok organization bagged the coveted India Biodiversity Award 2018 for conservation of wild species, initiated by government of India and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The man behind YCBA is churchman NukluPhom, whose untiring efforts had led to an awakening and action from the villagers. What the above reveal is that if people are sufficiently inspired to act, they can bring the change that everyone has always been only talking about.

DailyDevotion Shallow and Profound

Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. —1 Corinthians 10:31 Beware of allowing yourself to think that the shallow aspects of life are not ordained by God; they are ordained by Him equally as much as the profound. We sometimes refuse to be shallow, not out of our deep devotion to God but because we wish to impress other people with the fact that we are not shallow. This is a sure sign of spiritual pride.

We must be careful, for this is how contempt for others is produced in our lives. And it causes us to be a walking rebuke to other people because they are more shallow than we are. Beware of posing as a profound person— God became a baby.

To be shallow is not a sign of being sinful, nor is shallowness an indication that there is no depth to your life at all— the ocean has a shore. Even the shallow things of life, such as eating and drinking, walking and talking, are ordained by God. These are all things our Lord did. He did them as the Son of God, and He said, “A disciple is not above his teacher…”

(Matthew 10:24). We are safeguarded by the shallow things of life. We have to live the surface, commonsense life in a commonsense way. Then when God gives us the deeper things, they are obviously separated from the shallow concerns. Never show the depth of your life to anyone but God. We are so nauseatingly serious, so desperately interested in our own character and reputation, we refuse to behave like Christians in the shallow concerns of life.

Make a determination to take no one seriously except God. You may find that the first person you must be the most critical with, as being the greatest fraud you have ever known, is yourself.

Post-mortem

Software is eating trade, digital platforms replacing agreements

S

ince India rejected RC E P ( Re g i o n a l Comprehensive Economic Partnership) with ASEAN and six other countries, most commentators have focused on reasons for exit. The government has reiterated that it was a decision in the interest of the country.

Impact on farmers due to agri-imports impact is one of the dominant reason.

There are more powerful forces at play shaping the structure of global trade that India needs to account for in any trade negotiation going forward.

Digitization of global trade converts physical goods into bytes it allows delivery and creation of services. It also creates a set of digital goods which are globally transferable through platforms.

Platte fourme of trade: The term “platform” comes from French plateform or platte fourme, which means “flat form.”

The word refers to a specific physical artifact: a raised level surface. Global trade in services has been flat much before a NYT columnist popularized the term. Now, in this flat world digital platform are seizing control of global trade. These platform with their global supply chains have become omnipotent and omniscient.

Amazon, JingDing, Alibaba, Rakuten, B2W Copahina Digital are some of the largest E-commerce platform controlling flow of global goods. These powerful brands are known as consumer brands and their impact is seen only on the retail sector. The sectoral myopia obfuscates their impact on global trade. In a way now software is eating trade agreements countries need to wake up to this realization.

Global e-commerce sales grew 13 per cent in 2017, touching $29 trillion, according to data released by United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in March 2019. The number of online shoppers, jumped by 12 per cent and stood at 1.3 billion people, or one quarter of the world’s population.

Though most internet buyers purchased goods and services from domestic vendors, the share of those buying from abroad rose from 15 per cent in 2015 to 21 per cent in 2017. As a result, cross-border business-to-consumer (B2C) sales reached an estimated $412 billion, accounting for almost 11 per cent of total B2C e-commerce, as per UCTAD. These are estimates based on statistics collected by countries and

the indo-naga issue and its only possible solution

1. The Indo-Naga issue is the issue of Naga sovereignty for which the Naga flag was raised on 14th August, 1947. This flag was raised after direct and open discussions with Indian leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi. In this context, up to six lengthy memorandums were also submitted to the then British government before the transfer of power took place on 15th August 1947.

2. The Indo Naga issue is not over Nagas wanting to become a state under the Union of India which came into existence only on 15th August 1947. Long before this Indian Union came into actual reality, Nagas had made their political stand very clear through the memorandum to the Simon Commission on Jan 10, 1929 and the cable message which was sent to the UNO on August 14, 1947 after declaring their independence.

3. lso, the Naga national flag was never hoisted on 14th August 1947 so that Nagas could have a shared sovereignty with India when she hoisted her own flag the next day on 15th August 1947. No such delusions or ideas should ever be entertained by any Naga citizen.

On the contrary, hundreds

of thousands of Nagas have already laid down their lives defending their national flag against India’s invasion and illegal occupation of Nagaland.

4. The Naga national flag was hoisted by the mandate of the whole Naga nation through its political institution- the Naga National Council (NNC).

This national flag is common Naga property and was never hoisted for any faction or factions. If any faction or factions wants to have any other settlement with India, then they should stitch their own factional flags and have their own settlements with India.

In view of all these historical and political facts, any Indo Naga peace talk that refuses to address the Naga sovereignty issue can never bring any solution to the Indo Naga conflict.

Here, the real solution lies in India recognising the Naga national flag rather than Nagas bowing down to India’s flag. Such a stand is not taken to belittle India’s national flag or her sovereignty; but such a stand is valid because historically, politically and legally, India hoisted her national flag only after Nagas had already hoisted their own flag.

are indicative of the shift of trade through global digital platform. Experts believe that their impact is much larger and growing much faster than the numbers shown by UNCTAD. Governments cannot fully capture the data of global trade taking place through E-commerce platforms as their systems are not designed to track single package shipments.

The American Association of exporters and importers made up of shipping companies estimates that global cross border B2C E-commerce sales will hit $1 trillion by 2020. Most of this growth will come in Asia-Pacific and India is the largest consumer market.

Since the recession of 2008, global trade has remained flat while ecommerce has increased 20% per year. Government everywhere including India is clueless about the impact of these digital platforms. Government’s control system for trade like custom duties are focused on large shipments and cannot track or levy duties on single shipments.

This is also referred as ‘de minimis provisions’ basically the threshold below which no customs duties are collected. Earlier this year in March 2019, Organization for Economic

Co-operation and Development (OECD) set up a working group to measure the impact of digital global trade. Besides, physical goods it includes services and digital goods which are being transferred through these platforms. Digital trade is defined as product that digital ordered and digital delivered.

Movies used to be consumed locally in a cinema and tracked and taxed through ticket sales.

Now it is digital ordered and delivered on Netflix.

This creates a new category of digital trade is not tracked or monitored by government as a trade item. Airbnb selling hotel services is not captured under global trade, Uber selling taxi services locally but booking revenues globally does not get recognized as an import of service by national statistician tracking trade.

Another complication of digital trade through platform is when the buyer pays it in crypto-currency or from an international bank account or global wallet. Such transaction may not be completed in the country where the consumer or consumption happens.Similarly, services being rendered by individuals on a global platform are very difficult to track. Their impact on

trade is not measured and not taken into account for the purpose of negotiation in FTAs. As global trade moves to bytes using digital infrastructure like cloud services and E-commerce platforms. The physical intermediaries between buyer and producer vanish as a result identification of taxation and duties become difficult. It also means that digital information of goods can jump several borders before the physical good finally lands in the buyer hands. This creates issues around the origin of the product, sale, profit and resulting transfer pricing norms. The digital data trail of the transaction is crucial in establishing the origin, consumption and taxation. This is not envisaged as part of trade agreements.

Hence, the flow of data on such transactions has to be established. Even to prevent dumping from China through global platforms it is data that will determine the origin of products. Allowing discovery of such data is important for the future of trade.

India has been trying to bring E-commerce under the WTO rules.

It also needs to clearly establish guidelines for its usage under the FTAs with

ASEAN or any other country. It is important that data flows be free within countries and conflict resolution on transaction be defined under sovereign laws. A free market defining transaction data in the digital world is the most important consideration in every FTA going forward.

Digital transaction has to be linked product origin rules to ensure that there is no dumping happening using electronic platforms.

Currently, Chinese companies are dumping in India using FTA, DTAA and Ecommerce platforms. This causes enormous harm to India’s labor intensive industry.

A crucial inclusion in every FTAs has to be recognition of sovereignty of transaction data. Transactions are rapidly moving from the real world to the digital world. As digital transaction become the norm, taxation and economic growth will be determined by data. It is important that future FTAs acknowledge the source and origin of transactions and India demand sovereign rights over such data.

This will prevent conflict around taxation and duties and create a much more conducive environment around trade.

The demand for technical writer is growing and there should be more growth in coming years.

There is more advantage for people who come from science back ground to be a successful technical writer as they can understand scientific terms easily. However students from other stream may also come and become technical writer provided they have the basic understanding and idea. The job sketch of a technical writer is to organize instruction or operating manuals and other similar documents.

Reader’s Post Let us stand against CAB

Despite the assurances given by the centre, I believe people especially in the Northeast should fight tooth and nail against the contentious Citizenship Amendment Bill least we become minority in our own state like the indigenous population in Tripura. CAB will change the demography of the region. While on the one hand the centre is implementing the NRC to weed out illegal immigrants, on the other hand, it is trying to give shelter to more immigrants simply on the basis of their religion.

This simply does not make any sense. Our resources are already limited and we simply accept the CAB. Daniel Sangtam, Dimapur. newspaper nor that of the Editor in any manner.

Delhi will curb air pollution faster than Beijing: Javadekar NEW DELHI, NOV 22 (PTI): Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar on Friday exuded confidence that the country will take less time than the 15 years taken by Beijing to improve air quality in the national capital.

Responding to a discussion on “air pollution and climate change”, the minister said a mass movement is needed to tackle the problem.“It took Beijing 15 years (to fight air pollution).

We will take lesser time,” he said, referring to the air quality in Delhi.

There is a relation between pollution and climate change, the Environment Minister said, adding that 40 per cent of India’s total power capacity will come from renewable sources before 2030.

Noting that India’s green cover is increasing, the minister said five times more trees have been planted in the national capital in place of trees cut down for construction of the Delhi Metro. Observing that pollution in Delhi was the topic of discussion in the entire country, he said the “solu-

Prakash Javadekar tion of the problem will come only when we recognise the problem.”

The air quality in Delhi was in the ‘very poor’ category on Friday, improving slightly from the ‘severe’ level a day ago. The overall air quality index (AQI) was 364 at 9.30 am.

On measures being taken to control pollution, he said round-the-clock monitoring was taking place.

He also said that a ban has been put on use of furnace oil and emission norms have been enhanced.

The government has formed a task force on Delhi’s toxic smog and everyday the monitoring was being done by the Prime Minister’s Office. The more trees planted, the more it will

help in reducing pollution, he said.

“If each one of us pledge to plant seven trees an oxygen bank will automatically be created,” he said. Earlier participating in a debate on pollution, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said there has to be a concerted effort to deal with this problem.

Both state and central government should work together to deal with the issue of pollution which has become a matter of concern.

“We need a climatesmart economy...You should introduce climate literacy,” he said.Choudhary charged that the Environment and Forest Ministry under the NDA government appears to be pro-business rather than pro-conservation.

Climate change was never mentioned in the Budget in the last couple of year, he said, adding, this shows the importance being imparted by the government to this important issue.

Jagdambika Pal (BJP) said pollution is not only life threatening but also affecting GDP growth.

Liezietsu also recalled how the Central government accordingly had recognised the Naga problem as a political issue. He added that he did not want to claim any credit, but expressed joy to see the approach and believed that it would bear fruit.

He said politicians and leaders who were not committed to the principles of NPF, nor understood its history, would find it difficult to stay in the party, pointing out how some had joined other parties after reaping benefits and left in search for greener pastures.

The NPF president also sought forgiveness for the follies that NPF might have committed during the last 15 years when it was in power, adding that the only consolation the party had was that most of its leaders who had indulged in all kinds of corruptions had left in search of power and money.

N eve r t h e l e s s, h e stressed that it did not mean that the rest were spotless, while urging all party members to be humble and seek God’s guidance for all the plans that lay ahead of the party.

Flyover will ruin heritage character of city: Experts NCD social work at cemetery it at another. The public transport system should be strengthened as recommended under the master plan. Sumit Kaur said the traffic problem could not be solved without involving Panchkula and Mohali. The basic concept of the city ensured that hills were seen from roads, which would not be possible if flyovers

were constructed in the city.

Manmohan Sarin, senior advocate, said the project was started after bypassing the master plan. The sanctity of the master plan should not be violated at any cost. It projects were implemented ignoring the master plan, it would be the beginning of the “ruin of the city”.

Sumit Kaur, a former Chief Architect of the UT, said the flyover was against the master plan of the city.

Maintaining that the government is corporatising railways not privatising it, Minister of State for Railways Suresh Angadi said, “We are outsourcing only the commercial and on- board services to private players. Ownership will be with railways. We are giving only licenses. They are bringing in new rates.”

He said existing employees of the Indian Railways will not be affected.

Private players will provide better services and create additional employment opportunities.

On services to disabled passengers and women at railway stations, Angadi said safety and cleanliness have always been the priority of the government and it would take care if they are lapses in some stations.

He said all railways stations have a separate resting room for women and police help is also being provided.

“Various lead indicators of trade reveal a broad-based deterioration in Q2 FY20, which would weigh upon service sector growth in that quarter.

However, a sharp pickup in spending by the Government of India (GoI) in Q2 FY20 after the presentation of the Union Budget, and the improved profitability metrics revealed by the earnings of some Banks would support service sector growth,” added Nayar.

The pace of growth of commercial paper, corporate bonds and bank credit to large industries and services eased considerably to 6.7 per cent at September-end 2019 from 9.6 per cent at Juneend 2019. However, the profitability metrics of the banking sector improved to an extent in Q2 FY20, led by lower provisioning and higher treasury gains, which should bolster the growth of financial, real estate and professional services.

Moreover, the pace of expansion of the gover nment’s non-interest revenue expenditure increased to a considerable 25.1 per cent in Q2 FY20 from 8.7 per cent in Q1 FY20, which would support the performance of public administration, defence and other services, ICRA said.

Aditi Nayar, Principal Economist, ICRA Ltd said: “With subdued domestic demand, investment activity, and nonoil merchandise exports weighing upon volume expansion, manufacturing growth is expected to decelerate further from the marginal 0.6 per cent in Q1 FY20.” “ To s o m e ex t e n t , lower raw material costs would bolster earnings, and may prevent manufacturing GVA from slipping into a YoY contraction in Q2 FY20,” she added.

ICRA said that heavy rainfall in August-September 2019 along with a delayed withdrawal of the monsoon, constrained activities in the mining and construction sectors contributed to a lower demand for electricity from the agricultural and household sectors. In addition to the latter, muted industrial activity reduced the demand for electricity generation.

The rating firm expects yearly GVA growth of mining and quarrying, construction, and electricity, gas, water supply and other utilities to weaken in Q2 FY20 (to around -3 per cent, 3.2 per cent and 2.8 per cent, respectively), relative to Q1 FY20 (2.7 per cent, 5.7 per cent and 8.6 per cent, respectively).

New Delhi, Nov 22 (Agencies): Ratings agency ICRA expects India’s growth rate to further slowdown to 4.7 per cent in second quarter ended September 30, 2019, amid subdued domestic demand and weak investment activity.

As a result, the agency forecasted that there would be a further deterioration in the growth rate of India’s GDP and the gross value added (GVA) at basic prices in year-onyear terms to 4.7 per cent and 4.5 per cent, respectively, in Q2 FY20, from 5 per cent and 4.9 per cent, respectively, in Q1 FY20.

This was attributed to weak momentum in industry, which dipped to 0.8 per cent from 2.7 per cent in the last quarter.

The agency, however, expects agriculture and service sector to remain steady this quarter, in line with the performance in Q1 FY20. While the agriculture sector grew at 2 per cent in June quarter this fiscal, service industry reported a robust growth of 6.9 per cent in Q1FY20.

New Delhi, Nov 22 (PTI): The government is not privatising the Indian Railways but only outsourcing commercial and onboard services to private players in order to provide better facilities to commuters, Railways Minister Piyush Goyal said in Rajya Sabha on Friday.

Responding to a series of queries during Question Hour, Railways Minister Piyush Goyal said such a step has been taken as it is not possible for the government to meet the fund requirement of Rs 50 lakh crore estimated for the next 12 years to operate Railways.

“Our intention is to give better services and benefits and not to privatise the Indian Railways. The Indian Railways is and always continues to be the property of India and people of India,” Goyal assured in the Upper House.

As per the government’s estimate, the Indian Railways require about Rs 50 lakh crore in the next 12 years.

“Every day, members come with a new demand for lines and better services.

It is not going to be a possibility for the Government of India to provide Rs 50 lakh crore for the next 12 years. We all know that,” he said, adding there are budgetary constraints and other real issues.

Israel braces for bitter fight after Netanyahu indictment Jerusalem, Nov 22 (AP): Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s indictment is expected to sharpen the battle lines in Israel’s already deadlocked political system and could test the loyalty of his right-wing allies, Israeli commentators said Friday.

The serious corruption charges announced Thursday appear to have dashed already slim hopes for a unity government following September’s elections, paving the way for an unprecedented repeat vote in March, which will be the third in less than a year.

In an angry speech late Thursday, Netanyahu lashed out at investigators and vowed to fight on in the face of an “attempted coup.” His main opponent, the centrist Blue and White party, called on him to “immediately resign” from all his Cabinet posts, citing a Supreme Court ruling that says indicted ministers cannot continue to hold office.

Netanyahu also serves as minister of health, labor and Diaspora affairs, as well as acting minister of agriculture.

He is not legally required to step down as prime minister, but Netanyahu faces heavy pressure to do so, and it is unclear whether an indicted poli-

tician could be given the mandate to form a new government. Netanyahu has already failed to form a majority coalition of 61 seats in the 120-seat Knesset after two hard-fought elections this year.

“This will not be an election, it will be a civil war without arms,” columnist Amit Segal wrote in Israel’s Yediot Ahronot newspaper. “There is a broad constituency that believes what Netanyahu said yesterday, but it is far from being enough for anything close to victory.”

Writing in the same newspaper, Sima Kadmon compared Netanyahu to the Roman emperor Nero, saying “he will stand and watch as the country burns.” Netanyahu was indicted on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust stemming from three long-running corruption cases.

He has denied any wrongdoing and accused the media, courts and law enforcement of waging a “witch hunt” against him.

The corruption charges will weigh heavily on Netanyahu’s Likud party in future elections, but it’s unclear if any senior member has the support or willingness to replace him.

Hours before the indictment was announced, Gideon Saar, a senior Likud member, said a party primary should be held ahead of any future elections and that he would compete. But there are several other leading members of the party, and it’s unclear if any one of them can gain enough support to topple its longtime leader.

Some Likud members expressed support for Netanyahu after the indictment was announced, but most have remained mum.

“If the attorney general should indeed announce that Netanyahu can no longer form a government, will (Likud members) stand up openly and work to form an alternative government?

For that to happen, they will have to sit together in one room and trust each other, which is something that has not happened for the past decade,” Segal wrote.

Trump impeachment: Two more witnesses testify publicly WASHINGTON, NOV 22 (IANS): The last two witnesses scheduled for publicly testifying before a House panel as part of an impeachment inquiry into US President Donald Trump offered their narratives of events relating to the investigation.

Fiona Hill, former National Security Council senior director for Europe and Russia, told the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday that she was told Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, was doing “explosive” things that would “probably come back to haunt us.”

Hill said her former boss John Bolton called Giuliani “a hand grenade,” adding that the former national security advisor was then referring to the lawyer’s TV appearances floating what Democrats called conspiracy theories about the 2016 US presidential election, former US Vice President Joe Biden, and his son Hunter Biden.

House impeachment investigators are trying to determine whether Trump withheld a military aid in order to pressure newlyelected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky into publicly announcing investigations into the Bidens and alleged Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election, which could politically benefit the White House, Xin-

hua news agency reported.

David Holmes, a staffer from the US Embassy in Ukraine, who also testified on Thursday, described a conversation he overheard between Trump and U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, which occurred on July 26, a day after a TrumpZelensky phone call that triggered an anonymous whistleblower complaint and the impeachment inquiry.

“So, he’s gonna do the investigation?” Trump asked, according to Holmes’ account. “Ambassador Sondland replied that ‘he’s gonna do it.’”

Sondland testified at Capitol Hill on Wednesday.

A total of eight witnesses publicly provided their testimonies this week.

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham called the impeachment inquiry a “sick” and “rabid” desire to take down the president.

“The Democrats are clearly being motivated by a sick hatred for President Trump and their rabid desire to overturn the 2016 election,” Grisham said in a statement. “Today’s witnesses rely heavily on their own presumptions, assumptions and opinions.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, initiated the impeachment inquiry in late September.

Lankan Prez pledges snap election soon; appoints interim cabinet C OLOM B O, N OV 2 2 (PTI): Sri Lanka’s new President Gotabaya Rajapaksa vowed to call a snap general election “at the earliest opportunity” as he appointed a 16-member interim Cabinet on Friday and allotted major portfolios of defence, finance and trade to his brothers while inducting two Tamils as a sign of reaching out to the minority community.

President Gotabaya Rajapaksa said he would “consult the people” as soon as possible under Sri Lanka’s Constitution after appointing the interim Cabinet headed by his elder brother Mahinda Rajapaksa, a former president who will now serve as prime minister, defence and finance minister.

The President’s eldest brother Chamal Rajapaksa, 77, will serve as trade and food security ministry. “I will consult the people at the earliest opportunity I get under the Constitution,” the president said after swearing-in the new Cabinet.

Sri Lanka’s existing parliamentary term ends next August, and the Constitution allows the president to dissolve the legislature in March and go for an election. “This is an interim government,” said Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who took over as the country’s President on Monday. He said the ministers of state would be appointed next week.

Gotabaya Rajapaksa

Gotabaya Rajapaksa as the President cannot hold ministries although he is the head of the Cabinet.

The Tamil minority members came from the Tamil-dominated North and from the central tea plantatons areas dominated by Tamils of Indian origin.

Dinesh Gunawardena, 70, a veteran Marxist politician, has been named as the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

It is the first time in Sri Lankan history that two siblings have held the two top political positions, although Mahinda Rajapaksa is only in charge of a caretaker government. Mahinda Rajapaksa was appointed as the country’s prime minister on Thursday after incumbent Ranil Wickremesinghe formally tendered his resignation to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

Gotabaya Rajapaksa will hope to ride a wave of popularity and secure a majority for his Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP)

party in the 225-member Parliament during the poll.

Currently the Rajapaksas and their allies have just 96 legislators, making it hard for them to pass any legislation.

Soon after he was sworn in as the president, Gotabaya Rajapaksa thanked the powerful Buddhist clergy for backing his presidential bid and vowed to protect all communities, while giving foremost priority to Buddhism. He also thanked the Sinhala-majority people for electing him.

“I knew I would win the presidency with support coming only from the Sinhala majority. I told the minorities to join me. I did not receive their support.

But I will make sure that I will be president for everyone,” he said.

Muslims make up nearly 10 per cent of Sri Lanka’s over 21 million people, who are predominantly Sinhalese Buddhists. About 12 per cent of the population are Hindus, mostly from the ethnic Tamil minority. Some seven per cent of the population are Christians.

There are already concerns in the country that Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s remarks may have led to apprehensions among the minority communities, who are already worried about the possibility of the return of an iron-fist rule under the Rajapaksa-duo’s regime.

Pope Francis

These circumstances, the pope continued, “remind us that no region or sector of the human family can look to itself or its future in isolation from or immune to others.”

“Now is the time to be bold and envision the logic of encounter and mutual dialogue as the path, common cooperation as the code of conduct, and reciprocal knowledge as a method and standard,” he added.

“Knowledge can help to open new paths for reducing human inequality, strengthening social justice, upholding human dignity, seeking means for the peaceful resolution of conflicts, and preserving

the life-giving resources of our earth,” the pontiff continued.

Francis also reserved some time to address the poorest in society.

“All of us are called not only to heed the voice of the poor in our midst: the disenfranchised, the downtrodden, the indigenous peoples and religious minorities, but also to be unafraid to create opportunities,” he told the audience.

During the event, a youth choir performed and the pope urged the young people present to resist homogenising and to nurture and preserve the quirks that made each and every one of them different.

Interestingly, Hambantota is the home town of the Rajapaksas.

This has been a project very long in the making and not very evident to outsiders what’s the eco-

BANGKOK, NOV 22 (IANS): The pope on Friday urged religious leaders to cooperate and foster mutual respect to face the complex challenges of today in a speech in a Thailand university.

On the second day of his visit to the Asian country, the pontiff visited the prestigious Bangkok university to meet Christian leaders and leaders of other religions such as Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism and Sikhism, reported Efe news.Some 1,500 people attended the talk.

In a country where more than 90 per cent of the population is Buddhist, Catholics make up just 0.58 per cent and the Muslims are 4 per cent of the population.

Pope made a call for collaboration “to pursue the path of dialogue and mutual understanding.”

He said that cooperation was needed to combat the evils society faces: “In a spirit of fraternal solidarity that can help end the many present-day forms of slavery, especially the scourge of human trafficking.”

‘Victory’ for MeToo: Sona Mohapatra on Anu Malik leaving Indian Idol

U2 debut new track ‘Ahimsa’ with AR Rahman ahead of show in India S

U

2 have teamed up with AR Rahman on new track ‘Ahimsa’, ahead of playing their first ever show in India.

The track is the first new offering from the Irish rock icons since 2017’s ‘Songs of Innocence’ and it sees the band heading in an increasingly spiritual direction.

“This is an invitation/ to a high location/For someone who wants to belong,” Bono sings on the track.

“This is a meditation/On your radio station/If you

like it you can sing along/ Ahimsa.”

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Jai Ho composer Rahman explained that the track was all about the eponymous concept of non-violence.

“The concept of ‘ahimsa’ or non-violence — it’s Indian, it’s South Asian, it’s Buddhist… and sometimes we have to remind people about love, about ahimsa,” he said.

“It takes a lot of courage to be non-violent. It takes a lot of power. It’s not

a weakness, it’s more power than showing might; it’s going beyond that, believing in something else which is not present… something that’s only in your spirit.”

It comes as U2 continue their New Zealand ‘Joshua Tree’ tour – which sees the band performing their seminal 1987 album in full.

In July, U2 fans also unearthed what is believed to be the oldest recording from one of the band’s earliest live shows.

inger Sona Mohapatara on Thursday said that she considers music composer Anu Malik’s stepping down as “Indian Idol” judge a “symbolic victory” for all women who have faced sexual harassment.

An “elated” Sona told IANS: “It’s great news.

Sony TV took a long time do this but I am happy that he has finally stepped down from the show. It’s a battle of the whole country. There are so many people who did not want to see this person (Malik) flaunting himself on national television because it gives a lot of wrong messages to predators that they can also get away with such a thing.”

She added: “I was fighting for fairness and justice. Now, after hearing this news, I think it is a victory for everybody—not just me but also for all other women who were badly treated by him. It is a symbolic victory.

Our fight is not over yet, it’s just a start. We are not going to sit here and let people to take us for granted.”

The issue erupted in 2018 when Mohapatra for the first time accused Malik of sexual misconduct, which forced the composer to step

down from season 10 of the show last year. Singers Neha Bhasin and Shweta Pandit had also joined Mohapatra in alleging sexual harassment against Malik.

However, when Sony TV reinstated Malik on season 11 this year, Mohapatra restarted her campaign against the composer and the channel. Over the past days, she has mustered huge support on social media, and people have increasingly been demanding Malik’s removal from the show.

A few days ago, Malik took to social media and claimed “false and unverified allegations” were being levelled against him. He said that he was “in pain” and “in a dark space”, demanding justice.

And now on Thursday, the composer decided to quit the show. A source close to Sony TV confirmed to IANS that Malik “is stepping down as a judge from Indian Idol”.

Malik’s decision has come after Sona wrote an open letter to the Union Women and Child Development (WCD) Minister Smriti Irani, urging her to look into the ongoing debate Malik.

Foo Fighters announced as the first headliners of Rock In Rio Lisboa 2020

F

oo Fighters have been announced as the first headliners of Rock In Rio Lisboa 2020.

Dave Grohl‘s band will be perform at the event in Lisbon, Portugal on June 21 as part of the band’s 25th anniversary. The bash, which is the Portuguese version of Brazil’s Rock In Rio, will take place over the weekend of June 20-21 and 27-28. You can purchase tickets here.

The band performed at Brazil’s Rock In Rio festival back in September.

At the time Grohl teased nuggets of info about their new album.

“I don’t know when we’ll be back down here again, but we will”, he told the crowd at the time. “We go home next week and we start making a new Foo Fighters record. It’s good, it’s good.”

The frontman has since admitted that the Foo Fighters’ next album is going to be “f**king weird”.

Speaking to Eric Blair, host of Blairing Out With Eric Blair Show, Grohl kept tight lipped for the most part but offered three words that best describe how the band’s 10th studio album is going to sound.

Asked how it’ll differ from 2017’s ‘Concrete and Gold’, he replied: “You’ll hear. It’s f**king weird.”

He has also since said the Foo Fighters have “never been cool” and claims the band are “totally dad rock”.

Grohl added: “We’ve just never been hip or cool; we just really haven’t. I think that the reason why we’re still here is because we do kind of disconnect ourselves from the popular stuff that’s going on, but also because, what the f**k do we care? I just want to f**king play music.”

Australia in driver’s seat in Gabba

Brisbane, Nov 22 (IANS): An unbeaten century from David Warner and half centuries from Joe Burns and Marnus Labuschagne on Friday put Australia in the driver’s seat in the first Test against Pakistan at The Gabba.

At Stumps on Day 2, Australia were comfortably placed at 312/1 with Warner and Labuschagne batting on 151 and 55 respectively.

After bowling out Pakistan for 240 on the first day, the hosts made a prolific start on the second day as openers Warner and Burns put up a 222-run stand, tiring out the Pakistani bowlers.

Both the openers played comfortably without any trouble and exhausted the Pakistani pacers, including 16-year-old Naseem Shah who is making his debut in Test cricket.

They didn’t give any chance to the visitors and collected runs at a brisk pace. Warner, who was playing his first Test after serving a one-year ban for his involvement in the Sandpaper Gate fiasco, was particularly aggressive and collected David Warner celebrates after scoring 150 on Friday. boundaries at will.

Pakistan came close to breaking the partnership two overs into the second session when Warner got an inside edge, going after a wide one that he could’ve left alone. He was even given out, with Naseem picking up his maiden Test wicket. But the bowler had overstepped by quite a distance and he survived.

The 32-year-old went on to score his 22nd Test hundred. However, Burns was left disappointed as he fell short by three runs to add to his four Test hundreds. His wicket was taken by leg-spinner Yasir Shah.

Labuschagne, who came in next, helped himself to an effortless halfcentury and along with Warner, provided Australia with a lead of 72 runs.

With the pitch looking flat, the hosts will back themselves to build a massive first innings lead and put pressure on the already low on confidence Pakistani team.

Brief scores: Pakistan 1st innings: 240 all out, Australia 1st innings: 312/1 at Stumps on Day 2 (David Warner 151*, Joe Burns 97; Yasir Shah 1/101) lead by 72 runs.

D/N Test: India lord over B’desh on Day 1

Ko l kata , N ov 2 2 (PTI): Bangladesh won the toss and India everything else against a ball they are not acquainted with on the first day of their maiden Day/Night Test, the quality of contest spectacularly failing to match the manic pre-match hype.

First the Ishant Sharma-led Indian pace unit terrorised the visitors, bundling them out for 106 in just under 31 overs even before twilight set in.

With two of their batsmen concussed, the mentally-scarred Bangladesh attack then found itself at the receiving end of a masterclass from the Indian captain Virat Kohli, who remained unbeaten on 59 off 93 balls, as India reached 174 for three at stumps on the opening day.

Cheteshwar Pujara scored a chiselled 55 as India took a 68-run lead.

Earlier, Ishant grabbed his first five-wicket haul on Indian soil after a good 12 years, finishing with 5 for 22 in 12 overs.

Hasan (19) concussed.

Bangladesh batsmen looked unsettled by the capacity crowd, something they have never encountered even in their home Tests and the world-class bowling made it even more difficult.

Such was their plight

that for the first time in the subcontinent, batsmen Nos 3, 4 and 5 (skipper Mominul Haque, Mohammad Mithun, and senior-most player Mushfiqur Rahim) were all dismissed for a duck.

London , N ov 2 2 (Agencies): Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists he is not bothered by Mauricio Pochettino’s availability following his sacking by Tottenham.

When Solskjaer took caretaker charge of United last December, Pochettino was favourite for the job, before the Norwegian’s impressive run of results earned him the permanent role.

But with Pochettino no longer in a job after being “relieved of his duties” by Spurs on Tuesday, speculation about a potential move to Old Trafford has intensified. “It doesn’t bother me at all. I’ve got the best job in the world,” said Solskjaer ahead of Sunday’s trip to Sheffield United.

“If you’re in a job, or if you’re out of a job and you’re a manager, you want this job. It doesn’t really

Jemimah, Shafali advance in T20I Rankings Dubai, Nov 22 (IANS): India batters Jemimah Rodrigues and Shafali Verma have made significant progress in the latest ICC women’s T20I player rankings, after playing stellar roles in a stunning series sweep over the West Indies.

That doesn’t change if some other clubs change their managers.”

Spurs appointed former United manager Jose Mourinho on Wednesday.

United midfielder Nemanja Matic, who has been signed by Mourinho twice

in his career, liked and commented on an Instagram post suggesting he was waiting for the Portuguese to bring him to Spurs in January.

“When it’s like this, you like Jose coming back,” added Solskjaer. “It’s going to be a spectacle and a circus and Nemanja has a sense of humour.”

Paul Pogba, the France international midfielder, will not be back for Sunday’s trip to Bramall Lane, says Solskjaer.

Pogba has been out injured since September with an ankle problem and Solskjaer had previously said this weekend’s Premier League game would be the earliest he could return.

“He had another test and a scan at the start of the international break and he’s not healed yet,” said Solskjaer.

New Delhi, Nov 22 (IANS): Ace boxer Vijender Singh said that he has been working hard on his technique and fitness and is now aching to have a go at a 12th consecutive win in his professional career. Vijender takes on Ghana’s Charles Adamu at the Caesars Palace Bluewaters in Dubai later in the day. “I am fully excited for my Dubai debut.

I know Charles Adamu is an experienced boxer but I can easily knock him in the early rounds. I am sure he will try his best but I have worked hard in the last two months on my technique and fitness.” said Vijender.

This will be Vijender’s second fight of the year. His previous bout was against Mike Snider which won via TKO.

any practice back home, Bangladesh opening duo of Shadman Islam and Imrul Kayes survived some anxious moments in the first six overs before Ishant Sharma trapped the latter.

Umesh then triggered the collapse in his second spell with two wickets in three balls, first being skipper Mominul. Next was Mohammed Mithun.

Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam, who was not supposed to play this game, came in as a concussion substitute for Nayeem Hasan, was driven down the ground as if it was net session.

Pujara on the otherhand also looked solid after quick departure from Mayank Agarwal and Rohit Sharma, adding 94 runs for the third wicket with his captain.

Brief Score: Bangladesh 1st innings: 106 all out (Shadman Islam 29; Ishant Sharma 5/22).

India 1st innings: 174 for 3 (Cheteshwar Pujura 55, Virat Kohli 59 not out; Ebadat Hossain 2/61).
