Mandir issue heats up

Carved blocks meant for the proposed Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. (File)

Spl. Correspondent

NEW DELHI, NOV 4 (NPN): With the general elections only six months away in 2019 and which is considered as crucial for the BJP as the party is already facing backlash for failed promises and alleged mega-corruption in the Rafale deal, all of which have dented the image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Ram mandir issue has become a straw to clutch.

The mandir issue is still under litigation and with the Supreme Court but it appears not in a hurry to hear the petition against the Allahabad High Court judgment on 2010. Several RSS and BJP leaders have therefore demanded an ordinance or a bill to construct

the mandir at Ayodhya. The issue of ordinance also found resonance with former Supreme Court judge Jasti Chelameswar who said that such a possibility cannot be ruled out. Justice (retd) Chelameswar, at a recent interview last Friday, had said that the government could bring a law for the construction of a Ram temple even when the dispute is before the Supreme Court, as there have been instances of the court’s decisions being scuttled by the legislative process.

Chelameswar made this statement while responding to a question at an interactive session hosted by the All India Professionals’ Congress, an organisation affiliated to the Congress party, in Mumbai. Congress Lok Sabha MP

PAC calls for special meeting on Nov 6 DIMAPUR, NOV 4 (NPN): PAC of the Naga Council Dimapur has called for a special meeting on November 6 with presidents of tribal hohos to have a threadbare discussion on multiple taxation issue. The meeting will be held at NCD unity hall at 11 a.m. In this regard, PAC has requested all members to attend the meeting.

PAC convenor Vekhosayi Nyekha and co-convenor K. Ghokheto Chopy while expressing gratitude to the public of Dimapur and media for their cooperation and support towards the success of the October 31 rally at Khermahal, assured to give the best of their ability to tackle the issue.

PAC also sought the continuous support of the public so as to bring a tangible conclusion for a better society.

Shashi Tharoor is chairman and Congress leader Milind Deora is deputy chairman.

Chelameswar cited the example of the Karnataka assembly passing a law to overturn the Supreme Court order on the Cauvery water dispute and another similar instance related to inter-state water dispute between Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana.

BJP’s Rajya Sabha MP Rakesh Sinha proposed that he would bring a private member’s bill for construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya. The private member’s bill bit followed a high-pitch chorus by the BJP and RSS leaders who had asked the Narendra Modi government to bring a law for acquisition and construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya.

With the 2019 election round the corner, several BJP leaders including home minister Rajnath Singh, union minister of drinking water and sanitation Uma Bharti etc have all come up with statements indicating that BJP could push the mandir agenda to a higher level in order to rouse Hindu sentiments before 2019 elections.

According to ministry of Culture in 2015 to state, a replica of Ram temple was in consideration at an estimated cost of Rs 300 crore. The total tax revenue of India, as per the Union Budget 2018-19, stands at about Rs 15 lakh crore.

TASU: indefinite NH-702 blockade from today DIMAPUR, NOV 4 (NPN): Tizit Area Students’ Union (TASU) has decided to impose an indefinite blockade on NH702 from November 5 as a result of the state government’s failure to pay heed to their ultimatum dated October 9, 2018.

District administration, institutions, para military, police personnel on duty and medical have been exempted from the purview of the blockade.

The demands include construction of Inter-State Connectivity (ISC) road from Tizit town via Yanpan-SakoLoakkum-Nokzang-Khonsa (Arunachal Pradesh), 4 nos. of RCC T-beam bridge along the same road and speeding Namtola-Mon (NH-702) road construction.

The decision was made during the emergency meeting held on November 2 along with the federating units and village council chairmen under TIzit area, TASU president T. Noklem Konyak and general secretary Phaonel Konyak stated in a press note. The house also resolved not to lift he blockade unless the department concerned and contractors begin the work. The house also warned of intensifying the blockade by way of stopping all government mechanism under Tizit, if he need arise.

It further said that the concerned department and contractors would be solely held responsible for any untoward incidents during the period of the blockade. In this regard, TASU has sought the cooperation of all stake holders under Tizit and Mon district and requested to avoid travelling along this route during the blockade.

PDR alleges nepotism in Tourism, LMCP deptts D I M A P U R , N OV 4 (NPN): People for Democratic Rights (PDR), while lauding the State Vigilance Commission (SVC) for taking cognizance of the issues of corruption, nepotism, and favouritism, has alleged such practise in the Tourism department and Legal Metrology & Consumer Protection (LMCP) departments.

PDR media cell pointed out that after the SVC began its inquiry into the LMCP department, taking cognizance of alleged illegal appointments, the latter had also started another inquiry into the corruption issues in the Tourism department.

PDR alleged that the daughter of a retired senior official of the Tourism department was allegedly appointed through the backdoor as Tourist Officer. It said that this particular appointment was already highlighted along with several other backdoor and irregular appointments. PDR said that the person in question had also recently cleared the NPSC 2017 exam, to be appointed in the Art & Culture department.

Since her case along with several other cases were already under investigation by the SVC, PDR stated that no person under police/vigilance investigation or any inquiry for any reason cannot be given any government appointment unless his/her case/position was cleared through the investigation or inquiry.

Therefore, PDR has asked the Art & Culture department not to issue the appointment letter, unless her name was cleared by the SVC. PDR has also requested NPSC to also take note of the case and take necessary action.

With regard to LMCP department, PDR pointed out that following the death of the senior most assistant controller of the department on October 2018, the vacancy has appeared to be an opportunity to be used by an official who was earlier cautioned not to lobby with influential and powerful persons including a former vigilance commissioner to get a clean chit.

Despite being cautioned, PDR claimed that the officer was now trying to

promote his daughter to the post, even before the SVC could give out a clear and fair stand on the issue PDR further claimed that person, after being appointed in the department in November 2010, was promoted within three months even before completing the required regularization period. This case, along with other backdoor appointments, was under SVC investigation, PDR stated.

In this regard, PDR asserted that a person whose name is currently under investigation should never be recommended for promotion unless the case was cleared by the SVC. PDR also alleged that the person’s earlier appointment and promotion were orchestrated under high profile case of nepotism and favouritism. It said that the four candidates who got selected through NPSC in 2015 deserved promotion more than her as they came out through open competitive exam.

PDR also reminded that there were two more senior persons who were appointed in 2004 and 2005.

tion of Societies Act and their area of operation was within Dimapur mostly lying on national/ state highways such as new field check-gate, Golaghat Road, Burma Camp, Dillai Gate, Old Khatkati Road, etc.

NVCO also cited an example that just within a range of 20-25kms i.e Khuzama police check-gate to Kohima bye-pass police check-gate, there were more than seven pay-counters including pay-counters initiated

Early solution to Manipur insurgency difficult: Army

Leimakhong (Manipur), Nov 4 (PTI): An early solution to the insurgency problem in Manipur is difficult given its complexity due to multiplicity of militant groups and their different sets of demands, a senior Army officer has said.

There are around 30 insurgent outfits, many of them splinter groups with different secessionist demands, while Naga groups, including the NSCN(I-M) and proscribed NSCN(K) are seeking ‘Nagalim’ or greater Nagaland, said Major General V K Mishra, GOC of 57 Mountain Division, involved in antiinsurgency operations in the state.

These apart, 16 Kuki organisations are seeking a separate state for themselves and eight groups of the United People’s Front, which is demanding a separate hill state within the territory of Manipur.

“The presence of so many groups adds to the complexity. You may reach out, but to whom?” the

Army official said, talking to visiting journalists recently.

“Given the complexity of the problem, it may take longer to achieve a solution,” he said.

“There are four major constituents in the problems affecting the state — insurgency, ethnic issues, criminal activities and drugs,” Mishra said.

He said the Army and other security forces, including the Assam Rifles, are doing their best to weed out insurgency from the state.

“Our attempt is to remove this fear among people,” he said when asked about people being afraid to complain on receiving extortion calls from the insurgents.

Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh has invited the insurgent groups for talks but the major outfits are yet to respond, a state government official said.

Some of the minor groups have expressed willingness to sit for talks, but there has not been much

response from the bigger ones, he said.

Stating that the hills and valley were divided, Singh said the state government has taken initiative to close this gap.

“Earlier, MLAs from the valley could not go to the hills, but I asked them to go to the hills. There must be trust,” he said.

United National Liberation Front (UNLF) was the first militant outfit to be founded in the valley areas with separatist goals and is at present one of the most active in the state.

The other major separatist outfits are People’s Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK) and People Liberation Army (PLA).

While KYKL seeks a perfect Manipuri society, the Kuki Revolutionary Army seeks a separate state for the Kuki tribe.

There are several other smaller outfits and groups with different objectives active in the north-eastern state.

Opposition to women’s freedom Tripura govt fighters’ museum proposed site lays stress on Correspondent

IMPHAL, NOV 4: Zeliangrong civil organizations have cautioned the Manipur government regarding site selection for construction of the “Tribal Women’s Freedom Fighters Museum”, a museum which will give special reference and focus to the life and contribution of Rani Gaidinliiu.

In a joint statement, Zeliangrong Baudi, Zeliangrong Youth Front and Zeliangrong Student’s Union, alleged that the government had proposed the museum’s site at Makhel village in Senapati district, sidelining two places proposed by the Zeliangrong civil society organizations. The statement stated that the Zeliangrong people highly valued and acknowledged the Centre’s recognition of the contributions rendered

by Rani Gaidinliu, for which different prestigious awards such as Tamrapatra, Padma Bhusan, Birsa Munda were given to her.

However, they reminded the Centre to keep in mind the bitter experience regarding non-completion

Govt should enact a law against bandhs: Himanta G u wahat i , N ov 4 (PTI): Assam Finance Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday voiced concern over bandhs called by various organisations, including the BJP, as the Gauhati High Court has declared it illegal in the state.

The senior BJP leader said that the Assam government will discuss the issue in its next Cabinet meeting to explore possibilities of bringing a law against bandhs.

“I feel we should not contempt the High Court.

As a personal opinion, I am saying that as long as the bandh culture is declared illegal by the Gauhati High Court, it should not happen within the state of Assam.

“If the BJP had called for a bandh yesterday, my

answer would have been the same that it should not have been called as it would be a contempt of the court.

But I cannot decide whether they (BJP) will call for it or not,” Sarma said at a press conference here.

On Saturday, a 12-hour Assam bandh was called by All Assam Bangali Yuba Chatra Federation, All Assam Bengali Students Union and some like-minded organizations to protest the killings of five persons in Tinsukia district earlier this week. On October 23, Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS), Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuva Chhatra Parishad (AJYCP) and 58 other groups had called a 12-hour Assam bandh against the Centre’s bid to pass Citizenship (Amendment) Bill,

2016 in Winter Session of the Parliament.

“The Assam government should enact a law against bandhs. The High Court had given a direction in this regard. I will raise the issue in the next Cabinet meeting. In general, we should oppose the bandh culture, whosoever has called for it.”

When asked if he would oppose calling a bandh in Assam by BJP in the future, Sarma said: “I cannot speak for the party... I don’t have the courage to oppose it.

How can one person oppose it? But I will make my comment that it will be a contempt of court.”

He also advocated action against bandh sponsors if there is any destruction of properties.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2018

“I will not go in to the merit of a bandh. But as the High Court has declared bandhs illegal, we should oppose it. The government’s stand is that every bandh, whether it is called by AGP, BJP, AIUDF, AASU or any other organisation, has been declared illegal by the High Court,” Sarma said.

The minister also appealed to the media to refrain from carrying news of bandhs and stop giving it publicity.

“The Gauhati High Court has declared it illegal within the state of Assam and nobody should encourage it. We should not look at who has called bandhs.

We should condemn the act of bandh. And if that happens, Assam will be better,” Sarma said.

of the “Library-cum-museum” in honour of the freedom fighter in Kohima, Nagaland. They claimed that abandonment of the project due to unnecessary opposition raised after exhaustion of required funds was a great insult to Gaidinliu. It therefore cautioned the government that there was a high chance of repetition of the incidence with abandonment of the project in Manipur too if Manipur government chose the wrong site for the said construction. Zeliangrong civil organizations had, during a meeting with Union tribal affairs minister Jual Oram in August this year, highlighted the matter and submitted a memorandum.

They also met chief minister on October 16 and submitted a similar memorandum for necessary action.

The bodies warned that “any twist and turn by the government of Manipur or misuse of Gaidinliu by any institutions to suit and fulfill the profit earning motive of vested interests which may damage the revered image and dilute the clean history, will not be tolerated.”

Tinsukia killings: Compensation to kin of deceased Tinsukia (Assam), Nov 4 (PTI): Assam government Sunday handed over cheques of Rs 5 lakh as compensation to families of each of the five persons, after they were killed by unidentified gunmen in the district.

BJP MLA from Sadiya, Bolin Chetia, visited the victims’ houses and gave the cheques. Assam government had announced a compensation of Rs 5 lakh and a job for the next of the kin of the deceased. Three members of a family were among five people shot dead by suspected ULFA (Independent) gunmen while two others were injured at Kheroni on Thursday night.

intl connectivity

Aga rtala , N ov 4 (PTI): The Tripura government has laid stress on international connectivity through roads, railways and waterways for development of the state, its Transport Minister Pranajit Singha Roy said.

The Centre has fulfilled the long cherished dream of the state by providing broadgauge railway services in 2016, Roy told a ‘Chinton Shivir’ of the Niti Ayog.

“Now there are multiple express trains connecting Guwahati, New Delhi, Kolkata and Deogarh. In near future, we’ll have direct trains to Mumbai and Chennai. Besides, the state has local trains from Agartala to Dharmanagar (North Tripura) and Agartala to Shantirbazaar (South Tripura) which will be extended to Sabroom,” he said.

State government has taken initiative to introduce inland water transport by connecting the Gomati and the Haora rivers with the Meghna river in Bangladesh to facilitate movement of goods and passengers, he said.

Dear Aren I have been thinking about you since... I really thank God for all the good things He has done for you. With all my love,I wish you a Happy Birthday, my dove.

Yours Ziiiiiiii My Dearest Babe Jungjung, Wishing you a very very happy happy B’day. May God bless you abundantly.

600 peddlers held since govt declared ‘war on drugs’: Biren Correspondent

IMPHAL, Nov 4: Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh Sunday claimed that since his government declared “War on Drugs” in the state, around 600 alleged peddlers have been arrested so far.

Addressing a public function held at Kwakeithel Moirangpurel Lampak in Imphal West, Biren said that his government has been fighting against the drug menace and corruption as a top priority. He claimed that while fighting the drug menace, the state government had also pro-

vided alternative livelihood for farmers who were once engaged in poppy cultivation. He said that poppy plantations of about 1852 acres in the state have been destroyed during the current year. Villagers who used to plant poppy had been provided alternative means of livelihood of agarwood, lemongrass and avocado cultivation, he added.

While talking about his government’s fight against corruption, he said, “If we want to root out corruption, the change should begin with bureaucrats and politicians.”

Mizoram polls: BJP fields highest number of women candidates

G U WA H AT I , N ov 4 (Agencies): Mizoram BJP is fielding the highest number of women candidates among the parties contesting the November 28 election to the 40-member Assembly, The Shillong Times reported.

The saffron party has released two lists comprising 37 candidates so far and five among them are women.

The five women fielded by the party are Judy Zohmingliani for Tuivawl, C. Lalnunzri (Aizawl North), F. Lalremsangi (Aizawl South), Laldinngheti (Lengteng) and Laiduhpuii (Tuichang).

Asked whether there was any strategy behind the move, state BJP general

secretary, Vanlalhmuaka told The Shillong Times on Sunday that the party wanted to give women a fair share in the contest besides favouring their candidature in the respective constituencies.

“We wanted to give women a fair share in the elections. More importantly, we have nominated them as we feel that they would be able to compete better in their respective constituencies,” he said.

Others such as the Zoram People’s Movement has fielded two women candidates, while the ruling Congress has announced the minister of state for cooperation Vanlalawm-

puii Chawngthu as the lone woman nominee of the party. Rival party, the Mizo National Front does not have any woman aspirants among the 39 nominees listed so far.

The BJP had released its second list of candidates for 24 seats on Friday while the first list of 13 candidates was announced on October 20. The names of the remaining three candidates will be announced soon, party sources said.

The Election Commission (EC) had on Friday announced that November 9 would be the last date for filing nominations to contest the Assembly elections in Mizoram.

reached Erumeli and they will be permitted to go to ‘sannidhanam’ only tomorrow.

Prohibitory orders under Section 144 of CrPc, banning assembly of four or more people, is in force at Pamba, Nilackal, Elavungal, and Sannidhanam for 72 hours from midnight Saturday.

The shrine would open at 5 pm Monday for the “Sree Chitira Atta Thirunal” special puja slated for the next day, marking the birthday of last king of Travancore Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma, and close at 10 pm on that day.

Tantri Kandararu Rajeevaru and chief priest Unnikrishnan Namboodiri would jointly open the temple doors and light the lamp at the ‘Sreekovil’ (sanctum sanctorum).

During last month’s pujas, media persons were attacked by a section of protesters and police had to face criticism.

Dismissing reports that media was being restrained from going to Sabarimala, Kerala Director General of Police Loknath Behara said there was no bar on entry of journalists.

No restriction of any sort has been imposed on

Don’t let people with over 2 kids vote: Ramdev

Sabarimala(Ker), Nov 4 (PTI): As the Lord Ayyappa temple opens Monday for a special puja, a thick security cover has been put in place after violent protests were witnessed last month against entry of women of all ages into the shrine.

Orders banning assembly of four or more people have been imposed in Sabarimala and nearby areas, police said Sunday.

Around 2,300 personnel, including a 20-member commando team and 100 women, have been deployed to ensure smooth ‘darshan’ and security of devotees, a move that came

Bhopal, Nov 4 (AGENCIES): Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) has said it will play a key role in the formation of the next government in Madhya Pradesh as it expects a fractured verdict in the November 28 assembly polls.

Madhya Pradesh BSP president Pradeep Ahirwar said the party will vastly improve its tally and win 32 seats, and can even think of heading the next government.

The state has a 230member assembly.

“Neither the BJP nor the Congress is going to get a majority. In this case, the Congress would support us to form the government in Madhya Pradesh,” he said without elaborating.

The Dalit party, which refused to enter into a prepoll alliance with the Congress, is going it alone in the central state, where the BJP is in power since 2003.

“We are going to win 32 assembly seats and create a record in our history of 34 years in Madhya Pradesh

in for criticism from the erstwhile royal family of Pandalam, the BJP and the Congress for such fortification.

If necessary, around 30 women police personnel in the rank of circle inspector and sub inspector and above the age of 50 would be deployed at ‘Sannidhanam’ (temple complex) for security, they said.

Pathnamthitta Superintendent of Police T Narayanan told PTI that all arrangements have been made for devotees to have smooth ‘darshan.’

Ayyappa devotees from Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu have already

Mayawati (File) due to strong anti-incumbency wave against the BJP and Dalit unity,” he told PTI in an interview.

“The key to next government formation will be with Behenji Mayawatiji (the BSP president),” he said.

“Our first priority is to form government in MP. We want Behanji to call the political shots in the state,” Ahirwar said.

The BSP leader ruled out backing the BJP postpoll.

Ahirwar said Mayawati will address rallies in the state between November 18

and November 26.

The former Uttar Pradesh chief minister will address three public meetings each in Rewa and Chambal divisions and one each in Bhopal and the Mahakoshal region, he said.

Asked about Congress leader Digvijay Singh’s remark that the BSP could not enter into an alliance with his party in MP due to the Centre’s pressure on Mayawati, he dismissed the statement as a “total lie”.

“Whatever the former state chief minister (Singh) had stated was totally wrong.

The BSP’s history in MP is that it fights elections on its own strength. The Congress is going to pay a price in the polls due to Digvijay’s comment,” he said.

Ahirwar said his party has pockets of influence in MP, where it won 11 assembly seats each in 1993, 1998 and two in 2003, seven in 2008 and four in 2013.

According to estimates, Dalits account for 15 per cent of the population in Madhya Pradesh.

Haridwar, Nov 4 (IANS): Yoga guru and retail entrepreneur Baba Ramdev on Sunday said that those who marry and have more than two children should be denied their voting rights.

“In this country, those who, like me, do not marry, should be honoured, and those who marry and have more than two children, their voting rights should be taken away,” he said while addressing a gathering at his Yogpeeth in Haridwar.

He said that though population control was a “political issue”, in “Indian tradition Vedas advocate having even 10 offsprings if the population is less... so those who afford to have as many and have the need for as many, may have them.”

He said that a fully awakened and conscious “soul” was more powerful than millions of people.

Delhi’s air quality comes down to ‘poor’ category

New Delhi, Nov 4 (PTI): Delhi’s air quality continued to improve on Sunday with the pollution level coming down to ‘poor’ category after oscillating between ‘very poor’ and ‘severe’ for nearly three weeks, authorities said.

The overall Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded at 231 on Sunday which falls in ‘poor’ category.

On Friday, the AQI was recorded at 370, which came down to 336 on Saturday, according to data of the Central Pollution Control Board.

On Sunday, the PM2.5 (particles in the air with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometres) level was recorded at 106, while the PM10 (particles in the air with a diameter of less than

10 micrometres) was recorded at 198.

An AQI between 0 and 50 is considered ‘good’, 51 and 100 ‘satisfactory’, 101 and 200 ‘moderate’, 201 and 300 ‘poor’, 301 and 400 ‘very poor’ and 401 and 500 ‘severe’.

Authorities have attributed the improvement in air quality to control measures and meteorological condi-

tions but they have also warned of deterioration of air quality to ‘severe’ levels from Monday.

Delhi authorities have stepped up efforts to combat pollution which includes measures like halting construction activities and regulating traffic.

There is a halt on all construction activities involving excavation. Civil construction has also been suspended in Delhi and other NCR districts, besides closure of all stone crushers and hot mix plants generating dust pollution.

The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) has also directed the Transport Department and the Traffic Police to intensify checking of polluting vehicles and control travel congestion in the region during November 1-10.

An aggressive 10-daylong ‘Clean Air Campaign’ from November 1-10 has also been launched to monitor and report polluting activities as well as to ensure quick action.

New Delhi, Nov 4 (PTI): The Signature Bridge over the Yamuna was inaugurated amid a surcharged atmosphere on Sunday with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal attacking BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying the country needs bridges, schools and hospitals not temples and statues for progress.

High drama prevailed before the inauguration of the bridge with Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari and scores of supporters staging a protest for allegedly not being invited to inaugural event of the newly-built city landmark. They also had a “scuffle” with some AAP workers.

“Four days ago the 182 metre tallest statue of the world was unveiled and today this 154 metre high bridge is being inaugurated.

The country has to decide if it needs statues and temples or bridges, schools and hospitals,” Kejriwal said inaugurating the bridge.

He said the thought of Signature bridge reminded him of the first Prime Minister of the country Jawahar Lal Nehru.

“If Nehru had chosen to build temples and statues instead of institutions like BHEL and SAIL, then the country would not have progressed. The country would languish in 15th century if temples and mosques are given preferences over science, technology and research,” Kejriwal said.

He alleged that in order to stop his government from

completing the bridge, the officials and engineers were issued threats of CBI raids against them.

“The Signature bridge has been completed only because there is an honest government in Delhi,” Kejriwal asserted.

Deputy CM Manish Sisodia also alleged that “obstacles” were raised by the Modi government so that the Signature bridge was not completed in the rule of AAP government in Delhi.

“If Modi government had contributed one inch to this bridge, I would myself chant Modi-Modi like those who are showing black flags,” he said referring to BJP supporters who were camped nearby along with Manoj Tiwari.

In a direct attack on Tiwari, Sisodia said if he was “so fond of ” going to inaugurals then he should work constructively.

“It is Modi government’s rule that the CM of elected government in Delhi will not be invited to any inaugural function.

We deliberately did not invite (Tiwari),” Sisodia said claiming no one from Delhi government was invited at inauguration of Skywalk at ITO. Earlier Sunday, Tiwari and his supporters allegedly entered into a scuffle with AAP members and staged a protest for not being invited to inaugural event.

Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia were not present when the protest took place.

BJP, however, said that AAP leader Amantullah Khan used abusive language and pushed Tiwari.

Meanwhile, Ravindra Yadav, joint commissioner of police, eastern range, said the main function was held smoothly without any disturbance.

Activities on Ram temple ‘politically driven’: AIMPLB Lucknow, Nov 4 (PTI): Terming “extremely dangerous” an RSS functionary’s remark that the Sangh, if needed, will launch an agitation for a Ram temple in Ayodhya, the AIMPLB Sunday said the recent activities related to the issue were “politically driven”.

On Friday, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) general secretary Bhaiyyaji Joshi had said the Sangh will not hesitate to launch an agitation for a Ram temple at Ayodhya, if needed.

The remark came amid a growing clamour for a law to clear the way for its construction at the disputed site in Uttar Pradesh.

“The flurry of activities vis-a-vis the demand for construction of a Ram temple by the so-called Hindu outfits and their impatience clearly indicates that it is politically-driven.

“This is being done to build pressure for the upcoming 2019 Lok Sabha elections. But, what those outfits do is still not clear,”

general secretary, India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), Maulana Wali Rahmani told PTI. He said if the RSS launches a movement in this regard, “it will be extremely dangerous” and will lead to an “atmosphere of chaos in the country”.

“The quantum of hatred between the Hindus and the Muslims was not so much in 1992. In the recent years, the rift has widened. At this point of time, the hatred between the two communities has increased significantly,” Rahamai claimed. Maulana Ashad Rashidi, president of the Jamait Ulema-e-Hind’s Uttar Pradesh unit, said, “All of us have to exercise patience and wait for the court’s verdict.”

“Whatever is the verdict of the court, it must be accepted. This will ensure an atmosphere of peace in the country,” he said.

Outlining the RSS’s stand on the Ram temple issue at a news conference Friday, Bhaiyyaji Joshi had

media persons, he said.

“To ensure necessary protection to the media, we are not allowing them now. As soon as security arrangements are complete, media will be allowed in Sabarimala and nearby places.”

Meanwhile, the Sabarimala Karma Samiti, a platform of right-wing outfits, including VHP, appealed to media houses not to depute women journalists in the menstrual age group to cover the developments in Sabarimala.

In its letter to editors, a copy of which was released to the media, it said even the entry of women journalists belonging to this age group as part of their job was also likely to aggravate the situation.

The samiti alleged that even though the Supreme Court has decided to hear the review and writ petitions on the issue on November 13, the state government was intentionally ignoring the “mass movement” against the judgement and was trying to “hastily” enforce it using police force.

Objecting to the samithi’s appeal, the Network of Women in Media, India said it was ‘unjustified’ and ‘unacceptable interference’ in the functioning of the media and an ‘unfair obstacle’ in the way of journalists who happen to be women wishing to cover an important story of public interest.

Maulana Wali Rahmani (File) said Hindus were feeling “insulted” by the Supreme Court’s declaration that it had priorities other than the Ayodhya issue and insisted for an ordinance if all options run out.

“We will not hesitate to launch an agitation for a Ram temple, if needed, but since the matter is in the Supreme Court, there are restrictions,” he had

said when he was asked by a newsperson whether the Sangh will launch an agitation for Ram temple construction like in the 1990s.

Joshi was interacting with the media after the conclusion of the National Executive meeting of the RSS in Uttan town in Thane district on the outskirts of Mumbai.

Nagaland Post Vol. XXVIII NO. 330 Dimapur, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2018

Just nice sounding

W

hen it was conceptualised during the mid70s as a successful model for people’s participation in decision making, the Village Development Board(VDB) became the phrase of the state government and an opportunity for showcasing.

Padmashree A.M.Gokhale who served as DC Phek observed the functioning of village republic especially in decision making. This concept was embraced and taken to the higher levels as VDB. The system of local government or self government by the community at the village or block community level, is democracy at the micro level. It is supposed to bring development at the doorsteps of village or block levels through active participation of the community in planning and implementation. This was the practise among various Naga tribes since time immemorial but it was only during the mid-70s was it discovered. The second evolution was initiated by then chief secretary R.S.Pandey and adopted at the state level as a policy when the VDB concept was modified and amplified as ‘Communitisation’ in 2002 as an Act. The objective of the Act was to empower the community and delegate the powers and functions of the state government to the local authorities(VDB/Village Councils etc). The VDB concept won accolades and awards for the state and those bureaucrats who successfully adopted it as policy. There are perhaps a number of reasons as to why was communitisation thought as a necessary panacea for governance. Probably part of the answer lay in the fact that the state government was grappling with absenteeism among employees, poor infrastructure and maintenance and corruption at various levels.

Perhaps the core objective of communitisation was to involve the community in the process of planning, formulation and monitoring of health programme/ activities. The other was delegation of power through amendment of financial rule that gave sanctioning authority to local drawing and disbursing officers.

There is no doubt that the Naga traditional concept of local self government or village republic as it may, was given its modern version of VDB for village or block level and increasing the sphere to cover other government service sectors as communitisation, to provide a system which is as basic as the traditional system. As much as there have been successes, there are also as many, if not more failures in the modified and codified versions of the traditional concept. At a function held in Kohima recently, minister of PWD Tongpang Ozukum has called for a review of communitisation since there have been notable failures in the sectors such as health, education, power etc. What both the minister of PWD(Ozukum)had said was confirmed by Advisor school education K.T.Sukhalu, at the same programme. Sukhalu recalled that while he was in government service, he came across a practise whereby a village council resolved that proxy teachers need not go to work but agree to give the village council Rs.4000 and that the council will also appoint its own candidates. The khushi-khushi syndrome that is widespread in Nagaland has been used to connive and defraud many projects and schemes. Even with regard to power, communitisation has created more problems to the department that is saddled with perennial power shortage and mismanagement. There is need to seek answers about how bills are created on the basis of non-supply and how much is collected. In short , communitisation has replicated a similar clone of those who have been ruining and not running the system and if so, then it has perhaps lost relevance.

DailyDevotion The Authority of Truth Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

—James 4:8 It is essential that you give people the opportunity to act on the truth of God. The responsibility must be left with the individual— you cannot act for him.

It must be his own deliberate act, but the evangelical message should always lead him to action. Refusing to act leaves a person paralyzed, exactly where he was previously. But once he acts, he is never the same. It is the apparent folly of the truth that stands in the way of hundreds who have been convicted by the Spirit of God. Once I press myself into action, I immediately begin to live. Anything less is merely existing. The moments I truly live are the moments when I act with my entire will.

When a truth of God is brought home to your soul, never allow it to pass without acting on it internally in your will, not necessarily externally in your physical life. Record it with ink and with blood— work it into your life. The weakest saint who transacts business with Jesus Christ is liberated the second he acts and God’s almighty power is available on his behalf. We come up to the truth of God, confess we are wrong, but go back again. Then we approach it again and turn back, until we finally learn we have no business going back. When we are confronted with such a word of truth from our redeeming Lord, we must move directly to transact business with Him. “Come to Me…” (Matthew 11:28). His word come means “to act.” Yet the last thing we want to do is come. But everyone who does come knows that, at that very moment, the supernatural power of the life of God invades him. The dominating power of the world, the flesh, and the devil is now paralyzed; not by your act, but because your act has joined you to God and tapped you in to His redemptive power.

They also forgot that it is The biz forgets that in 2008, poor man’s savings that has

been running this country for the last 70 years. The government forgets that it has always been borrowing from that poor man through national savings scheme (NSS), kisan bachat patra (KBP) or public provident fund (PPF) and now directly delving into banks deposits.

For NSS, KBP and PPF, the government had been paying attractive interest rates and that partially helped the poor.

Now as the government and businesses scoop bank funds, it shakes the foundation of banks and the poor man at every level loses his interest payments. The Rs 12 plus lakh crore NPAs have shaken the foundation of the economy.

The government and RBI spat is a result of this “basic misunderstanding”.

The bank’s money is not the money of the government. It is people’s or nation’s wealth. The government as it repeatedly says should have kept away from the bank funds. The banks should have been allowed to take commercial decisions. There is no scope for treating it on compassionate ground and using it for doles. Finances are hard earned. Any non-commercial outlook creates the mayhem that the nation is facing

today. The RBI thus has to be a tough regulator.

Despite that even in the past though the section 7 of the RBI Act was not invoked, the RBI is known to have acquiesced with government requests. The section provides for an emergency when the government can give instructions. In all regulations, such safety clauses are there lest the regulator itself becomes a monster.

Yes, the NPA boom was there because the RBI did not function as prudently as it is expected to be. Politically, there could have been a different government then. But RBI also did not act prudently when it allowed the high-end currencies to be demonetised.

So it appears if the regulator does not function, biz or government transgress the unwritten limits, the nation can face a crisis.

The nation certainly has learnt a lot. The poor man has suffered. The businesses are on a roll. The government needs to find out how the table can be turned by keeping off, honour accepted niceties and let the economy boom. They all have to sail together for the common man. That is the great limit for a thriving nation.

Five tips to decision-making if you want to study abroad

A

mong the more important things we do in life is to take decisions. At a time of information overload, this can be particularly challenging.

And yet, this is the time of year when students have to make up their minds on their future course of study. It is one of the most difficult and important decisions they would need to take and would, most certainly, impact them for the rest of their lives.

Trends suggest that there would be an increasing number of Indian students who would be opting for higher studies, particularly in Australia.

What are some of the key things to keep in mind?

Do your homework, but don’t get bogged down: Doing your homework and basic research are important, but too much information can make decision-making difficult and even confusing. It is important to decide what subject you would like to pursue, where you would like to study, whether you meet the entry and eligibility criteria and, finally, do you have the required funds to pay for it. Given the Indian Rupee-Australian Dollar exchange rate, studying in Australia is significantly cheaper than opting for the US and the UK, which pose additional and new challenges.

Know how to apply: If you are going through an education agent, first find out which education agents have been empanelled by the university of choice. For instance, the internationally-ranked University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, has only 12 registered India-based education partners. No one else is authorised to process student applications. The list is available on the university’s website. Furthermore, empanelled agents are not authorised to charge students for services they render. Such payments, or commissions, are paid by the university.

Know why you are pursuing higher studies: Simon Sinek, in his path-breaking book, “The Power of Why”, emphasised the misplaced emphasis that so many place on “what” and “how” without ever knowing “why”. If we know “why” we are planning on a particular course of action, other things fall in place. In terms of sequencing, “why” is where we first start. You can decide, for instance, to pursue an undergraduate course in Finance and Accounting if you are clear in your mind as to why you would like to do so. Once you know your “why”, the “where” is easy.

Embrace Change: Often our parents, in particular, and sometimes even we, fear the uncertain.

Living abroad, especially if it is the first time, can be challenging. Is it safe? What is the culture like?

Would my son or daughter make friends? Would the studying and living culture cause problems? These are all legitimate questions and anxieties. At the same time, if the decision is to study abroad, it is important to be open to change. Some things might be similar to what we are used to but there would be big differences in several other aspects. What is particularly fascinating is that “other cultures” open up the mind to new ways of seeing and thinking -- and even behaving.

Learn with Passion: We can learn every single day but only if we are open to it. “Smell the roses” we are told and yet, we rarely do. Employability is not a quotient of how many books we have read or quotations we know by heart but how we are able to relate with our external environment. This is what employers look for because what they want are persons who can work in a team, who can take decisions and, consequently, who anticipate and solve problems without compromising on integrity and values. Great educational institutions recognise this and embed it into their pedagogy. It is what makes them stand out.

Sabarimala: BJP stirs religious cauldron while Congress stokes the fire

M

y own experience of Sabarimala causes me to rub my eyes with disbelief at the spectacle of what poet Niaz Haider called “badsoorat siyasat”, not quite the same as ugly politics.

I owe my visit to Sabarimala in 1982 entirely to Bob Murari, the distinguished IAS officer of Tamil Nadu cadre who, along with his brothers, undertook the pilgrimage annually to wash off his sins.

Would the faith into which I was born be an obstacle? Not at all, said Bob, quite the contrary. The Sabarimala deity, Lord Ayyappa’s favourite was a Muslim devotee named Vavar Swamy whose shrine, before Ayyappa’s, is visited by most pilgrims. The Murari brothers and I obtained our share of Vibhuti or holy ash from a Muslim priest, his long beard coming virtually up to his navel.

The trek from the base of the hill across Pamba river is through lush forests reverberating to the sound of Vavar Swamy songs sung by Yesudas. That a pilgrimage so allembracing of religions should be transformed into a battle ground between devotees, the state and the Supreme Court is because of the very special talent for mobilisation which is patent to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alone.

Multiple strands harmonised in Sabarimala. But the pilgrimage has been transformed into a cauldron bubbling over with mischief with political intent. The BJP President Amit Shah’s game is straightforward. He is eager to do a Tripura in Kerala. The Tripura results were the biggest shock I had experienced in 50 years of covering politics. I have on my shelf a book, “Tripura’s Bravehearts” by B.L. Vohra, former Director General of Police in the state. It is an unbelievable document. Never will you find a decorated police officer shower praise with such enthusiasm on a serving Chief Minister.

Vohra’s successor in Agartala took my breath away.

He reported a solitary case of domestic violence as the only breach of law and order in the state capital in the past year.

The state had the highest rate of literacy. It held a record for implementing central schemes in the shortest possible time.

It was a dream government.

The greatest achievement of the Communist Party of IndiaMarxist (CPI-M) government

over the past 30 years had been the end to the country’s fiercest insurgency. The tribal-non tribal harmony was an architectural achievement. The BJP campaign excavated along this faultline, pouring huge sums of money in the process.

This extended narration on Tripura is with one purpose: To demonstrate the BJP-RSS will to win against impossible odds. In this chase, all means are kosher. Kerala is by comparison, an easier citadel to conquer because the Congress and the BJP are, on the Sabarimala issue, broadly on the same side.

Amit Shah has chastised the Supreme Court for having ruled that young women, whose entry to Sabarimala was banned so far by ancient custom, be allowed entry.

The state Congress has in fact taken an even tougher stand. Ramesh Chennithala, the Congress leader in the Assembly, is insistent that the BJP at the Centre bring in an ordinance to nullify effects of the court’s judgement. BJP state President P.S. Sreedharan Pillai throws up his hands. “It is a state subject -- the Centre is helpless unless the State Assembly makes the demand.”

His target is the CPI-M-led Left Front.

“Rubbish”, shouts Chennithala. It is in the concurrent list and does not require the State Assembly’s certificate.

The implication is that the BJP government at the Centre is unwilling to open the ordinance route in such matters because the party would then come under pressure to bring an ordinance elsewhere -- Ram Mandir, for instance.

This one upmanship on Sabarimala casts both the parties as hardliners, opposed to the Supreme Court directive. The Congress is, in fact, following a folksy, Awadhi saying: “Tum daal, daal to hum paat, paat.” (If you climb the branches; I shall climb the leaves). The Congress’ Chennithala says Ayyappa devotees be given the status of a religious sect under Article 26, immunised from any legal interference. “My party is with the believers,” he asserts.

Since the late K. Karunakaran’s Chief Ministership, the Congress has always been BJP-neutral, largely because its biggest political opponent is the Communist-led Left Front.

The BJP never entered the Assembly, but it consolidated 0.5 to one per cent vote across the

state. Whenever this one per cent vote was injected into the election process, the Congressled United Democratic Front generally wins. Margins of victory in Kerala are thin.

The post-Sabarimala bonhomie is in a different context. The scales are different. An aggressive BJP at the Centre has, by sheer will to power, achieved the near impossible in Tripura. It is eager to repeat the performance in Kerala. Even if the BJP takes an electoral dip in the 2019 elections over all, Kerala by itself will be a great trophy.

It was the first state in world history that brought Communists to power through the ballot box in 1957. Salvador Allende came to power in Chile democratically much later, in 1972.

While the Congress in Kerala has been tactically soft on the BJP, it has had to fight the BJP tooth and nail in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. Diverse experiences institutionalised two broad Congress approaches to the BJP -- the Karunakaran model

and the Arjun Singh model, shaped by their politics in their respective states.

One of Karunakaran’s great ambitions was to remove any doubts about Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi’s caste, since his father Feroz Gandhi was a Parsi. He escorted a bare bodied Rajiv Gandhi several times to the Guruvayoor temple. These visitations must have had the appropriate effect. For this reason, Congress spokesman, Randeep Surjewala, was able to assert in the course of the Gujarat campaign that Congress President Rahul Gandhi is a ‘Janeudhari’ (Thread wearing) Hindu, which means a Brahmin. Rumours are now afoot that itinerary for Rahul Gandhi is in the works to enable him to undertake the pilgrimage to Lord Ayyappa’s shrine in Sabarimala when the temple opens this month.

Who knows the BJP may field Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the spirit of competitive piety.

Reader’s Post

Sir,

Fear of dominance

Diphupar village is one of the cleanest villages in Nagaland and also one of the most populated villages in Asia.

It is conveniently located just a few kilometres away from Dimapur town. Many important places and institutions like CIHSR (erstwhile Referral Hospital ), NEZCC, Dimapur Airport, Agri-Expo Site, Green Park, etc., to name a few, are located right here. Keeping these important places and institutions in mind, people from all over the districts of Nagaland rush here to settle or buy land and that keeps the price (value) of the land extremely high.

The most lucrative business at Diphupar these days is to sell the land. I have no right to interfere in what they do but being a permanent resident of Diphupar for so many years, what saddens me the most is that our local people, without knowing the consequences, started selling their precious land to the ‘Outsiders’ especially people from neighbouring states of Nagaland. These people come with lots of money and they are ever-ready to pay whatever the sellers want. Nagas of Nagaland should know that one day they will dominate our areas and we will be compelled to share our rights and privileges. Not surprisingly, they even have their own colony now. No doubt, we can peacefully co-exist but it is better not to compromise if it is going to affect our future generation.

Strictly speaking, I am not so familiar with village council rules and regulations but one thing I know for sure, that is, selling our land to Outsiders is against our Customary laws and practices.

This is going to have a negative impact in the future if we do not check now. It is upto the responsible people to decide whether to let it go or take some precautionary measures before we become a microscopic minority in our own village and areas.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2018

Showcause notice to RBI governor He concluded that it would not serve any purpose to punish the CPIO for this defiance, because he acted under the instructions of the top authorities.

“The commission considers the governor as the deemed PIO responsible for nondisclosure and defiance of Supreme Court orders and CIC orders and directs him to show cause why a maximum penalty should not be imposed on him for these reasons,before November 16,” Acharyulu said.

He rejected the arguments of Santosh Kumar Panigrahy of the RBI that section 22 of the Right to Information (RTI) Act would not override various laws he quoted, prohibiting disclosure of names and details of wilful defaulters and hence, the RBI should be discharged from the obligations of disclosure.

“These submissions of the RBI show that its legal wing did not bring to the notice of the CPIO that in the RBI vs Jayantilal N Mistry case, a Supreme Court bench consisting of M Y Eqbat and C Nagappan JJ, on December 16, 2015 [Transferred Cases (Civil) Nos. 91 to 101 of

2015], gave a landmark decision, upholding the direction of the CIC to disclose the inspection reports of the RBI and the names of wilful defaulters in many cases, rejecting all the above referred contentions of the RBI,” Acharyulu said.

The information commissioner said in that case, the counsel for the RBI had raised the same contentions, referring to the same cases referred by Panigrahy, and those were straightaway rejected by the Supreme Court.

“The commission finds no merit in hiding the names of, details and action against wilful defaulters of big bad loans worth hundreds of crores of rupees.

“The RBI shall disclose the bad debt details of defaulters worth more than Rs 1,000 crore at the beginning, of Rs 500 crore or less at a later stage within five days and collect such information from the banks in due course to update their voluntary disclosures from time to time as a practice under section 4(1)(b) of the RTI Act,” he said.

PDR alleges nepotism in Tourism, LMCP deptts

Delhi pollution control measures failing New Delhi, Nov 4 (PTI): The Delhi government may have deregistered 40 lakh old vehicles to curb pollution in the national capital but the enforcement data shows a dismal picture with only 3,196 (.079 per cent) such vehicles impounded by agencies after they were banned by the NGT in 2014.

Two different agencies are responsible for enforcing the ban on 15-year old petrol vehicles and 10-year old diesel vehicles imposed by the National Green Tribunal in 2014 — Delhi traffic police and transport department of the Delhi government. The ban was ratified by the Supreme Court.

The data provided under the Right to Information Act to an activist, Deepak Juneja, shows only 3,196 such vehicles have been impounded since 2014 by both agencies which is just .079 per cent of the total 40 lakh vehicles.

The Delhi government transport department data provided under the RTI paints even a grimmer picture as it has been able to impound only 106 old vehicles since the NGT banned them in 2014, till

New Delhi, Nov 4 (PTI): The Central Information Commission (CIC) has issued a show-cause notice to RBI Governor Urjit Patel for “dishonouring” a Supreme Court judgment on disclosure of the wilful defaulters’ list.

The CIC has also asked the Prime Minister’s Office, the Finance Ministry and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to make public the letter of former RBI governor Raghuram Rajan on bad loans.

Irked over the denial of information on disclosure of names of wilful defaulters who have taken bank loans of Rs 50 crore and above by the RBI in spite of a Supreme Court order, the CIC has asked Patel to explain why a maximum penalty should not be imposed on him for “dishonouring” the court verdict, which had upheld a decision taken by then information commissioner Shailesh Gandhi, calling for disclosure of names of wilful defaulters.

Patel, speaking at the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) on September 20, had said the guidelines on vigilance, issued by

the CVC, were aimed at achieving greater transparency, promoting a culture of honesty and probity in public life and improving the overall vigilance administration in the organisations within its purview, the CIC pointed out.

“The commission feels that there is no match between what RBI governor and deputy governor say and their website regarding their RTI policy, and a great secrecy of vigilance reports and inspection reports is being maintained with impunity, in spite of the Supreme Court confirming the orders of the CIC in the Jayantilal case,” Information Commissioner Sridhar Acharyulu said.

MP polls: Cong releases first list of 155 candidates

Modi wants to do to India what Sohrabuddin killed Haren Pandya: Witness Hitler did to Germany: Kharge

Mumbai, Nov 4 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants to do to India what dictator Adolf Hitler did to Germany, senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge Sunday said.

The Lok Sabha MP from Kar nataka was speaking at a “Samvidhaan Bachao Parishad” organised in Bandra here by the Mumbai Congress.

He said the country was deteriorating under BJP rule but added that the Congress would never let the RSS, BJP and PM Modi succeed in destroying the Constitution the way other institutions were being destroyed. “The Constitution does not belong to the people of a particular caste,

religion or community but belongs to every Indian equally. Which right to freedom has been respected in parliamentary democracy by the BJP government?” he questioned.

“The BJP hasn’t been able to walk 4 steps in the right direction in the past 4 years. They don’t have any right to point a finger at the Congress and ask us what has been done in the past 70 years,” Kharge, Congress general secretary in charge of Maharashtra said.

Kharge claimed that since the BJP came to power, it had destroyed freedom of speech and expression was constantly curbing the press.

“The BJP is trying to

bring dictatorship in the country. PM Modi wants to do to India what Adolf Hitler did to Germany. The Constitution is in danger and we need to fight the BJP’s attempts to destroy it,” he claimed.

Mumbai Cong ress chief Sanjay Nirupam, speaking at the function, said there had been repeated attacks on the principles which formed the foundation of the country.

“Constitution of India is the soul of the country which is being killed today.

Since the past 4 years, the BJP has launched a new rule according to its own will which is not in sync with the law and order of the country,” he said.

New Delhi, Nov 4 (AGENCIES): A Key witness in the Sohrabuddin Shaikh alleged fake encounter case claimed on Saturday that Sohrabuddin had told him about former Gujarat IPS officer D G Vanzara having given a contract to kill Haren Pandya, senior BJP leader and former Gujarat minister, who was murdered in 2003.

The witness, Azam Khan, an associate of Sohrabuddin and Tulsiram Prajapati, also said that while he had told the CBI investigator about it in 2010, the officer had refused to record it as part of his statement.

“During discussion with Sohrabuddin, he told me that he, along with Naeem Khan and Shahid Rampuri, got the contract

to kill Home Minister Haren Pandya of Gujarat and they killed him. I felt sad and I told Sohrabuddin that they have killed a good person.

Sohrabuddin told me that the contract was given to him by Vanzara,” Khan told the court during his examination-in-chief. Khan also said that Sohrabuddin had told him “upar se yeh kaam diya tha (the work was given from above).”

Vanzara, who was named accused number 1 in the alleged fake encounter cases, was discharged by the trial court on August 1, 2017. The trial court’s order, which was not challenged by the CBI, but by Sohrabuddin’s brother Rubabuddin, was upheld by the Bombay

The tribunal directed the transport department of Delhi government to prepare a comprehensive data of registration of all such vehicles which are 10 or more years old.

August 31, 2018.

After NGT had banned old vehicles in the capital, Delhi police mandarins have been issuing circular to impose the ban and take strict action against the erring vehicle owners but the data shows hardly any progress on the ground.

The registration numbers of the petrol vehicles which are 15 year old and diesel ones which are 10 year old have been “deemed to have been de-registered”.

They have been fed in mobile challan system of the Delhi police which flash as and when their numbers are entered in hand-held

High Court in September.

During further cross-examination, when Khan was asked why these facts were not mentioned in his statements recorded by the CBI, he said he had told the CBI officer, N S Raju. “I had told the CBI officer that Haren Pandya’s murder was done

by Tulsiram Prajapati and one boy at the instance of Sohrabuddin. When I told him (Raju) about Haren Pandya, ‘unhone bola naye bakhede mey mat dalo (don’t involve me in new confusion),” the witness said in court.

He also said that Pandya had helped in bringing communities together after the violence in the state in 2002 and that he had told

devices by traffic officers.

The Delhi traffic police has impounded 1,242 petrol vehicles that are 15 year old since 2014, while 1,848 diesel vehicles that are 10 year old between 2014 and till September 27, 2018.

The challan data provided by the traffic police shows 1,411 challans were issued for 15 year old vehicles and 354 challans for 10 year vehicles during the period.

Vehicular pollution is a major contributor to dangerous air quality in New Delhi which is claiming over 10,000 deaths annually, according to a study.

Sohrabuddin he should not have been killed. “I felt bad and made up my mind to leave the company of Sohrabuddin,” Khan told court.

Pandya was shot dead in Ahmedabad on March 26, 2003. In 2007, a trial court in Gujarat had held 12 persons guilty for the murder, sentencing nine of them to life imprisonment. The Gujarat High Court, however, acquitted all of them in 2011. An appeal against the acquittals is pending before the Supreme Court.

Khan, an Udaipurbased gangster, was brought before the court on Saturday under heavy security from Udaipur central jail where he is currently lodged.

Bhopal, Nov 4 (PTI): The Madhya Pradesh Congress announced its first list of 155 candidates for polls to the 230-member state assembly slated for November 28.

The names of Congress state unit chief Kamal Nath and poll campaign committee in-charge Jyotiradtiya Scindia are not on the list. They are touted to be frontrunners for the chief minister’s post if the party wins.

The list of 155 names, released late Saturday night, includes that of 21 women and 24 fresh faces.

It has struck a fine balance between supporters of Scindia and former chief minister Digvijay Singh, sources said.

The party, on expected lines, renominated 46 MLAs while dropping Govardhan Upadhyay, Shakuntala Khatik and Manoj Kumar, sitting MLAs from Sironj, Kerera and Kotma respectively.

They have been replaced by Ashok Tyagi, Jaswant Jatav and Sunil Saraf.

Interestingly, the Congress has nominated Dr Hiralal Alawa, convener of the tribal political outfit Jai Adivasi Yuva Shakti (JAYS), from the Manawar seat in Dhar district.

(From p-1) They too deserve promotion more than the officer’s daughter, it added.

PDR has therefore cautioned the officer, who will be retiring in 2019, to stop all sorts of objectionable lobby both within and outside the department/ government.

PDR also reiterated its demand to the government to send the incumbent official of the LMCP on leave so that the SVC could conduct a free and fair inquiry.

Meanwhile, PDR said chief minister’s message on the eve of the Vigilance Awareness Week had given hope that the PDA government would try to bring out a comprehensive zero tolerance policy towards corruption.

It said the Governor had also called upon the SVC, as the apex anti-corruption body, to promote transparency and accountability and maintain integrity in public life. To this, PDR said that if the SVC probe was found unsatisfactory, it would not hesitate to seek proper and effective legal redressal against the two departments.

Oil market on alert as Iran sanctions hit

New Delhi, Nov 4 (PTI): US sanctions against importers of Iranian oil threaten the crude oil market’s precarious balance and risk surging prices, all under Saudi Arabia’s watchful gaze, according to experts.

“In the next weeks all eyes will be on Iranian exports, whether there will be some cheating around US sanctions, and on how quickly production will fall,” said Riccardo Fabiani, an analyst for Energy Aspects.

The US will from Monday target buyers of Iranian oil in order to deprive Tehran of its main source of income.

Going after Iran’s oil money will hit Tehran where it hurts, but it also means hitting a major pillar of the global oil market -- Iran is the OPEC cartel’s thirdlargest producer -- with major consequences for world supply.

the announcement of sanctions turned buyers away.

“Even if the United States grants exemptions, Washington will demand that the volume imported from Iran be significantly reduced,” said UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo, who expects prices to rise.

However, oil prices have fallen by nearly 15 in less than a month, after peaking in early October at their highest level in two and a half years, with a barrel of Brent at over 85.

Part of the explanation lies in the ambiguous position of the US, which initially insisted that the sanctions were designed to reduce Iranian exports to zero barrels, but has since has softened its position.

Secretar y of State Mike Pompeo on Friday announced exemptions for eight countries, without naming them.

Turkey indicated that it was one of them and analysts believe that India,

one of the world’s largest importers, is also on the list, which will be published on Monday.

“India said to the US that they can’t stop before March, they are facing a major currency crisis,” explained Joel Hancock, analyst at Natixis.

Consumer confidence in the US itself could also suffer if rising oil prices translate into higher prices at the pump.

“If prices start to rise again or another major producer has difficulties, it could put pressure on the US and lead to new exemptions,” said Fabiani.

The other major oil producing countries are expected to ramp up production to try and compensate for Iran’s anticipated decline in output.

But in doing so, they run the risk of hampering their ability to react to any future crises.

Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest exporter, has

claimed that it can respond to the Iranian shortfall, but some market players are wondering whether the kingdom is exhausting its capacities.

“Saudi Arabia can produce 12 million barrels a day, but only if it invests,” said Hancock, noting that the country currently produces just under 11 million barrels a day.

He believes that Riyadh can currently only rely on 300,000 barrels per day of spare capacity, the extraction of which can be launched in fewer than 30 days.

“The mantra right now is to go to Saudi Arabia but its exports have remained flat at around 10 or 10.2 million barrels a day,” said Samir Madani, an analyst at Tanker Trackers, which specialises in satellite tanker tracking.

“The big increase right now is Iraq at 4.2 million, which I’ve never seen before,” he added.

use interest rate defence as a tool to manage currency weakness, the report said.

Between April and October, the forex reserves has come down by USD 32.78 billion, while foreign exchange reserves stood at USD 392.078 billion as on October 26. “Unlike in 2013, even as the rupee has weakened by 15 per cent calendar year-to-date against the dollar, it remains outside that group of most vulnerable currencies and the countrys forex reserves position is still reasonable,” UBS analyst Gautam Chhaochharia said in the report.

He said while the country remains vulnerable in its external position, there is no need to press the panic button for NRI bond issuances, to stabilise the rupee, yet unless it becomes a political issue in the run-up to the 2019 general elections. “However, in case external stress continues to rise from here (Brent continue to rise towards USD 100/a barrel and/or the rupee weakens towards the 80 levels, the option of raising dollar deposits (USD 30-35 billion) could be explored to stabilise the rupee,” Chhaochharia said.

NEW DELHI, NOV 4 (PTI): SBI has put up 11 non-performing assets (NPAs) for sale to ARCs and financial companies to recover dues of nearly Rs 1,019 crore.

The country’s largest lender said the e-auction of these NPA accounts will take place on November 22.

“In terms of the bank’s policy on sale of financial assets in line with the regulatory guidelines, we place these accounts for sale to ARCs/ Banks/ NBFCs/ FIs,” SBI said in an auction notice on its website.

Of these 11 accounts, Janki Corp Ltd has the highest outstanding dues of Rs 592.53 crore.

Among others, Venus Remedies Ltd has to repay Rs 83.01 crore, SBS Transpole Logistics Pvt Ltd has to repay Rs 63.36 crore, R S Luth Education Trust has dues worth Rs 60.62 crore, Nilachal Iron & Power Ltd has to repay Rs 52.41 crore and Sri Balmukund Polyplast with Rs 50.12 crore. The rest of the five companies owe the bank the remaining Rs 117 crore.

First 5G iPhone to hit the stores in 2020: Report

RBI initiates steps to set up PCR for capturing details of borrowers

San Francisco, Nov 4 (IANS): The first 5G iPhone is likely to use an Intel modem, the 8161, and it could hit the stores in 2020, according to a report in the Fast Company.

If everything goes as planned, Intel will be the sole provider of iPhone modems, said the report.

For prototyping and testing the 5G iPhone, Intel is reportedly working on a precursor to the 8161 called the 8060.

To increase transistor density for more speed and efficiency, Intel is likely to fabricate the 8161 using its 10-nanometre process.

The performance of 8060 appears to have triggered a little tension between Apple and Intel due to “heat dissipation issues” that would both raise the temperature and hurt battery life.

New Delhi, Nov 4 (PTI): The Finance Ministry is likely to finalise the second round of capital infusion for public sector banks (PSBs) towards the end of this month taking into account the latest quarter’s performance, sources said.

In this round of fund infusion, most of the banks would be getting growth capital for expanding their lending, particularly to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

L a s t we e k , P r i m e Minister Narendra Modi launched a slew of measures, including loan sanction of up to Rs 10 million in less than an hour and relaxation in labour and environmental laws for MSMEs to give a boost to the sector, the country’s second-biggest employer.

Second quarter result announcements of banks, barring one or two, would be over this week and subsequently the ministry would start discussions with them, sources said.

After assessing the requirement, the ministry is expected to finalise the capi-

tal infusion of about Rs 540 billion by November-end or by the first half of the next month.

The ministry had earlier this year provided capital infusion of Rs 113.36 billion to five PSBs to help them meet their interest payment commitments. Punjab National Bank (PNB), hit by the Nirav Modi scam, got the highest amount of Rs 28.16 billion, while Allahabad Bank received Rs 17.9 billion.

The infusion was part of the remaining Rs 650 billion out of Rs 2.11-trillion capital infusion over two financial years.

The government announced the Rs 2.11-trillion capital infusion programme in October last year.

As per the plan, the PSBs were to get Rs 1.35 trillion through re-capitalisation bonds, and the balance Rs 580 billion through raising of capital from the market.

Out of the Rs 1.35 trillion, the government has already infused about Rs 820 billion through recap bonds and the balance would be done during this fiscal.

New Delhi, Nov 4 (PTI): The Reserve Bank has initiated steps to set up a wide-based digital Public Credit Registry (PCR) to capture details of all borrowers, including wilful defaulters and also the pending legal suits in order to check financial delinquencies.

The PCR will also include data from entities like market regulator Sebi, the corporate affairs ministry, Goods and Service Tax Network (GSTN) and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) to enable the banks and financial institutions to get 360 degree profile of existing and prospective borrowers on a real-time basis. The Reserve Bank has invited expression of interest (EOI) for developing the registry from companies with a turnover of over Rs 100 crore in the last three years.

In June this year, the RBI had announced to set up a PCR for India with a view to address information asymmetry, foster access

to credit and strengthen the credit culture in the economy.

Earlier, a high-level task force was constituted by the RBI to review the current availability of information on credit, the adequacy of the existing information utilities, and identify gaps that could be filled by a PCR. “In essence, PCR will be a digital registry of authenticated granular credit

information and will work as a financial information infrastructure providing access to various stakeholders and enrich the existing credit information ecosystem,” the EOI document said.

The PCR would be the single point of mandatory reporting for all material events for each loan, notwithstanding any threshold in the loan amount or type of borrower.

ganised sectors, there is a scope for further widening of the direct tax base of the country. “... The Board (CBDT) has fixed an overall target of adding 1.25 crore new return filers during the current financial year,” the CAP for 2018-19 had said.

The CAP acts as the vision document for the Income Tax (I-T) Department and is published by the CBDT annually.

As per the set target, the northwest region of the Tax Department (that has jurisdiction over Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir) has been asked to add the maximum new filers at 11,48,489, followed by Pune region at 11,33,950 and Tamil Nadu region at 10,36,645.

The Andhra Pradesh and Telangana regions have to get 10,40,218 new filers.

Gujarat (9,88,101) and the Karnataka and Goa regions (7,95,626) follow the tally apart from the 12 other I-T regions in the country.

fiscal, had added 1.06 crore new tax filers to the income tax net during the 2017-18 financial year.

A new income tax filer is defined as a person who is not included in the tax filing base at the beginning of the year, but who files the return during the year.

A new I-T filer may not be called a fresh taxpayer added to the net as a person may file their income return but may not pay tax as they can claim legitimate exemptions, the official had told earlier.

However, once a filer is in the I-T database, there is a little chance that such a person’s income remains anonymous, he had said.

The CBDT had set the adding of 1.25 new tax filers target for the taxman this fiscal when it issued its Central Action Plan (CAP) for the IT Department early this year.

New Delhi, Nov 4 (PTI): With global crude prices remaining elevated, the rupee is likely to be under pressure, and may touch the 76 levels against the US currency over the next three months, says a report.

The domestic currency has already crossed the 74 mark owing to continued strengthening of the dollar, lack of foreign flows and higher crude oil prices. The unit lost over 15 percent since the beginning of the calendar year.

“Assuming global crude prices stay elevated (slightly above USD80/a barrel), we retain our bearish view on the rupee and see it plumbing to 76 over the next three months,” says a weekend report by the Swiss brokerage UBS. From April to the first week of August 2018, the RBI has been intervening in the forex markets to contain volatility, which lead to a massive drop in the forex reserves that plunged by USD 25 billion to USD 393 billion last week. This has led to two successive repo rate hikes to the tune of 50 basis points in total. By keeping policy rates on hold in October, the RBI hinted that it will not

New Delhi, Nov 4 (PTI): About 75 lakh new tax filers have been added to the income tax payers list in the country this fiscal till now, a senior official said.

The target for the taxman is to add 1.25 crore fresh tax filers by the end of the 2018-19 financial year that ends in March next year, as per a directive of the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT).

The CBDT frames policy for the Income Tax Department (ITD).

“About 75 lakh fresh tax fliers have been added to the income tax list till now in this fiscal. A number of policy and enforcement measures undertaken to check tax evasion are the reasons that can be attributed for achieving these numbers.

“The department is hopeful that it will achieve the target of adding 1.25 crore tax filers as there are still few months left for the 2018-19 financial year to close,” the official said.

Bibi’s husband asks Trump for refuge ISLAMABAD, Nov 4 (Agencies): The husband of a Pakistani Christian woman acquitted after spending eight years on death row on charges of blasphemy has appealed to U.S. President Donald Trump for refuge, citing danger to family members’ lives, Reuters reported.

Ashiq Masih, the husband of Asia Bibi, whose case has outraged Christians worldwide and been a source of division within Pakistan, also appealed to the United Kingdom and Canada for assistance.

The ultra-right Tehreek-e-Labaik (TLP) party blocked major roads in Pakistan’s biggest cities for three days, calling for the murder of the Supreme Court judges who acquitted Asia Bibi on Wednesday, and terming Prime Minister Imran Khan and the country’s army chief enemies of Islam.

The TLP called off the protests late on Friday after striking a deal with the government that could see authorities seek to put Bibi on an ‘exit control list’

barring her from leaving the country and open a review of the verdict in the courts.

“I am requesting the President of the United States Donald Trump to help us exit from Pakistan,” Masih said in a video recorded by the British Pakistani Christian Association and seen by Reuters.

“I also request the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom to help us, I also request the Prime Minister of Canada,” he said, while also asking for help on behalf of his brother Jospeh

Nadeem who has assisted with Bibi’s case.

The U.S. Embassy and British and Canadian High Commissions in Islamabad did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the video.

On Saturday, Bibi’s lawyer Saiful Mulook told Reuters he had left Pakistan “to save (my) life from angry mob” and because of fears for the safety of his family.

Bibi was convicted of blasphemy in 2010 for allegedly making derogatory remarks about Islam

after neighbours objected to her drinking water from their glass because she was not Muslim. She always denied having committed blasphemy.

Her case caught the attention of then Punjab provincial governor Salman Taseer who spoke in Bibi’s defense before being assassinated by his bodyguard in 2011. The TLP was founded out of a movement to support Taseer’s assassin, who was hanged in 2016.

Federal minister for minorities Shahbaz Bhatti was also killed after calling for her release.

Bibi’s whereabouts are unknown, but the TLP has warned the authorities against taking her out of the country.

“There will be a war if they send Asia out of country,” TLP leader Khadim Hussain Rizvi said after the deal with the government was reached.

Islamist parties have characterised Bibi’s release as Pakistan’s government caving into Western demands.

N Korea warns of return to nuke policy Seoul, Nov 4 (Agencies): North Korea has warned the United States it will “seriously” consider returning to a state policy aimed at building nuclear weapons if Washington does not end tough economic sanctions against the impoverished regime, AFP reported.

For years, the North had pursued a “byungjin” policy of simultaneously developing its nuclear capabilities alongside the economy.

In April, citing a “fresh climate of detente and peace” on the peninsula, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un declared the nuclear quest complete and said his country would focus on “socialist economic construction”.

But a statement issued by the North’s foreign ministry said Pyongyang could revert to its former policy if the US did not change its stance over sanctions.

“The word ‘byungjin’ may appear again and the change of the line could be seriously reconsidered,” said the statement carried by the official KCNA news agency late Friday. At a his-

Pyongyang said it could revert to its former policy of developing nuclear weapons if the US does not end tough economic sanctions. (AFP)

toric summit in Singapore in June, US President Donald Trump and Kim signed a vaguely-worded statement on denuclearisation.

But little progress has been made since then, with Washington pushing to maintain sanctions against the North until its “final, fully verified denuclearisation” and Pyongyang condemning US demands as “gangster-like”.

“The improvement of relations and sanctions are incompatible,” said the statement, released under the name of the director of the foreign ministry’s Institute for American Studies.

“What remains to be

done is the US corresponding reply,” it added.

The statement is the latest sign of Pyongyang’s increasing frustration with Washington. Last month, the North’s state media carried a near 1,700 words long commentary accusing the US of playing a “double game”, implicitly criticising Trump for his comments aimed at barring Seoul from lifting sanctions against Pyongyang. Despite a flurry of diplomacy on and around the peninsula differences are emerging between Seoul and Washington, which stations 28,500 troops in the South to protect it from its nucleararmed neighbour.

French territory rejects independence London, Nov 4 (Agencies): Voters in the French Pacific territory of New Caledonia have rejected a bid for independence, partial results say. According to BBC report, with almost all votes counted, 56.8% chose to remain part of France.

Turnout was about 80%. The vote was promised by a 1988 deal that put an end to a violent campaign for independence. President Emmanuel Macron said it showed “confidence in the French republic”. New Caledonia has large deposits of nickel, a vital component in manufacturing electronics. It is seen by France as a strategic political and economic asset in the region.

About 175,000 people were eligible to vote in the territory, east of Australia, where indigenous Kanaks make up 39.1% of the population. French nationalism is strong among the territory’s ethnic Europeans - constituting 27.1% of the population - and observers say even some Kanaks back staying part of France.

“Sheikh Ali Salman is a prisoner of conscience who is being held solely for

peacefully exercising his right to freedom of expression.”

Ali Salman, who led the now outlawed Al-Wefaq movement, was accused of plotting with Qatar to stoke anti-government unrest in 2011, along with fellow opposition leaders Hassan Sultan and Ali al-Aswad.

They have also received life sentences.

Bahrain’s public prosecutor said the three men were jailed for “acts of hostility” against Bahrain and “communicating with Qatari officials... to overthrow constitutional order”, according to news agency AFP.

Cairo, Nov 4 (Agencies): Nineteen suspected jihadists linked to a deadly attack on Coptic Christians in central Egypt have been killed in a shootout with police, the interior ministry said Sunday, AFP reported.

China backs Pakistan’s NAGALAND THEOLOGICAL efforts for peace with India COLLEGES ASSOCIATION the joint statement said.

In recent years, China has refrained from taking a public stance on the IndiaPakistan ties, expressing hope for resolution of the disputes through dialogue.

On the Kashmir issue, China’s oft repeated stand was that it should be resolved peacefully through dialogue. India too supports dialogue as the way to resolve the issue with Pakistan but maintains that the talks and terrorism cannot go together. Also significantly, China tacitly expressed its backing for Pakistan’s efforts to secure the NSG membership.

China has been blocking India’s entry into the NSG on the ground that New Delhi is not a signatory to the Nuclear NonProliferation Treaty (NPT) even though majority of the 48-member group supported India’s entry into the elite nuclear club.

Saudi Arabia frees Prince after months in detention Riyadh, Nov 4 (Agencies): A Saudi prince arrested for criticising a crackdown on corruption is reported to have been freed from detention, BBC reported. Relatives of Prince Khaled bin Talal shared pictures on social media, purportedly taken this weekend, showing the prince greeting his family.

The prince, who was held for nearly a year, is a nephew of King Salman.

Prince Khaled’s brother, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, was among dozens of princes and other senior figures held in a corruption drive late last year. The latest move comes amid intense pressure on Saudi Crown K Y M C

Prince Mohammed bin Salman over the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Analysts say Saudi authorities appear to be trying to defuse the crisis by shoring up support from within the royal family.

“Thank god for your safety,” tweeted Prince Khaled’s niece, Princess Reem bint Alwaleed, posting images of him with other family members.

Other pictures shared by relatives showed the prince kissing and embracing his son, who has been in a coma for several years.

The Saudi government has given no official explanation for his detention, or for his apparent release.

Beijing, Nov 4 (PTI): China on Sunday said it supported Pakistan’s “quest for peace through dialogue” to settle the outstanding disputes with India and backed Islamabad’s engagement with the Nuclear Suppliers group (NSG).

According to a joint statement issued here after Prime Minister Imran Khan’s talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang, China backed Pakistan’s efforts to improve ties with India to settle “outstanding disputes”, without directly mentioning the Kashmir issue. “China appreciates Pakistan’s quest for peace through dialogue, cooperation and negotiation, on the basis of mutual respect and equality, and supports Pakistan’s efforts for improvement of Pakistan-India relations and for settlement of outstanding disputes between the two countries,”

hostile operations in the country, including the last armed attack which targeted citizens returning from the Saint Samuel monastery”, the ministry said.

The Islamic State group claimed Friday’s attack which killed six Copts and one Anglican - in a message via its propaganda agency Amaq.

Raids were undertaken in the mountainous western desert of Minya province to track down the “fugitive terrorist elements”, the interior ministry said.

Several Egyptian TV stations broadcast images provided by the interior ministry, which showed the

bodies of armed men strewn across desert sand.

The television images also displayed a tent alleged to have been used by the suspected jihadist cell, and a black IS flag.

Pope Francis on Sunday spoke of his pain over the attack. “I express my pain after the terrorist attack which two days ago hit the Coptic Orthodox church in Egypt,” Francis said at Saint Peter’s in the Vatican City.

“I pray for the victims, pilgrims killed just because they were Christian,” he added.

London, Nov 4 (Agencies): Bahrain’s opposition leader, Sheikh Ali Salman, has been handed a life sentence after the Court of Appeal found him guilty of spying for Qatar.

The ruling comes just months after the Bahraini High Court of First Tier acquitted Salman of the charge of “colluding” with the rival state.

Bahrain cut ties with Qatar in 2017.

Human rights group Amnesty has described the decision as a “travesty of justice” amid Bahrain’s “continued crackdown on dissent”.

“This verdict... demon-

people, have in recent years been repeatedly targeted by IS jihadists.

In May 2017, masked gunmen ordered Christians travelling to Saint Samuel to get off their buses and recant their faith. The group refused and were shot one by one, leaving 28 people dead in that IS-claimed attack.

IS also killed more than 40 people in twin church bombings in April 2017, and an IS gunman last December killed nine people in an attack on a church in a south Cairo suburb.

Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi called for

citizens to battle against religious discrimination.

“When an Egyptian falls in a terrorist attack, we suffer and all the people of Egypt suffer”, Sisi said in an address to a youth forum in Sharm el-Sheikh.

Copts have long complained of discrimination in Egypt and IS is not the only group to have launched sectarian attacks against the community.

In December 2017, hundreds of Muslims attacked a church south of Cairo that had been operating without a permit for more than a dozen years.

So we try hard to stay true to ourselves musically, but also keep it with a little bit of a modern touch, so those new listeners — the younger generation — can put it on and say, ‘Oh, this doesn’t sound dated; this actually sounds very much today.’ And that’s the tricky part.

Stryper toured Australia and Japan as a three-piece in August, and later recruited Howie Simon (Jeff Scott Soto, Graham Bonnet) to fill in on guitar during four American concerts in September.

Rhapsody’ rocking at Box Office

Q

ueen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody sang loudly at the Friday box office with $18.4 million from 4,000 theaters for a rhapsodic $43 million$45 million debut in North America, one of the best showings of all time for the genre and well ahead of expectations.

That’s easily enough to win the weekend ahead of fellow new offerings The Nutcracker and the Four Realms and Tyler Perry’s first R-rated comedy, Nobody’s Fool. It also would be ahead of the recent opening of the music-infused, boxoffice hit A Star Is Born, which earned $15.7 million on its first Friday for a $42.9

million debut. (That film opened opposite Venom.)

To date, the top domestic opening for a music biopic belongs to the 2015’s Straight Outta Compton ($60.2 million). Bohemian Rhapsody would mark the second biggest after that, even when adjusted for inflation.

Bohemian Rhapsody, starring Mr. Robot’s Rami Malek as legendary Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, is a victory for 20th Century Fox as it prepares to disappear as a stand-alone Hollywood studio and be absorbed by Disney. While critics haven’t embraced the film, audiences graced it with an A CinemaScore. Graham King produced the long-in-

the-making film, with New Regency co-financing.

Friday’s gross includes $3.9 million in Thursdaynight previews.

The $52 million Bohemian Rhapsody, chronicling the rise of the iconic British rock band Queen, had plenty of drama during its journey to the big screen. Toward the end of production, helmer Bryan Singer was fired.

Singer, who retains sole directing credit, was replaced

by Dexter Fletcher.

Lucy Boynton, Gwilym Lee, Ben Hardy, Joseph Mazzello, Aidan Gillen, Tom Hollander, Allen Leech and Mike Myers co-star in Bohemian Rhapsody, which launched to a huge $12.5 million in the U.K. last weekend to mark one of the biggest openings of the year in England, as well as one of the top showings in recent memory for a non-franchise title. The biopic drew all age groups, boding well for its North American run.

Emily Blunt.

Now, after revealing that he’s currently writing the sequel, he and Blunt have spoken of what could happen in A Quiet Place 2. “It’s not like Alien or Jaws where the main villain is the thing you’re repeating; it’s an actual entire set of rules and the circumstance that the world has undergone that you can play in very different facets,� he told Entertainment Weekly.

Blunt added: “The idea of seeing who these people were before this all happened would be interesting,� revealing that fans seemed more eager to pick up where the first film left the Abbot family.

t’s only been a few months since Ariana Grande released Sweetener, but on Saturday (Nov. 3) the singer took to Twitter to drop a few hints about her next project.

After a rough patch that included the death of her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller and a very public breakup with former fiance Pete Davidson, Grande is embracing positivity and acceptance, revealing that her next album will be called Thank U, Next.

Its first single will share the name, which Grande insists isn’t meant to be about disrespect. “No drags...no shade...jus love, gratitude, acceptance, honesty and growth,� she tweeted.

No word on when Thank U, Next is slated to drop, but when a fan asked if a single would be released soon, Grande responded “sure.�

Meanwhile back in March, Ariana Grande started a self-love movement inspired by frustration over fans cropping themselves out of photos with her. She posted about it on her Instagram story, which inspired countless fans to post photos of themselves using the hashtag #SelfiesForAriana.

mily Blunt and John Krasinski have teased the plot of A Quiet Place 2 after the sequel was given the official go-ahead.

The original, mostly dialogue-free film was released back in April and followed a family who were constantly on the run from murderous extra-terrestrial creatures – meaning that they have to live their lives in almost complete silence due to the beings’ hypersensitive hearing, which they use to hunt.

Krasinski co-wrote, directed and starred in the acclaimed horror film, which also starred Golden Globe-winning actress and Krasinski’s real-life wife

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski.

“I think actually it’s now what’s the next chapter and what happens next,� Blunt continued. “I think people feel very invested in this family.�

Millicent Simmonds, who starred as the couple’s daughter Regan Abbott, said: “One would be looking into the past. Like, how did the aliens come about?� she said, adding that the other would involve a different family “working on the same problems� as the Abbotts’. “The third idea would be the future: You know, what is the world like after, once the kids are older? Or what happens to the aliens or how do we improve or solve that problem?�

A Quiet Place 2 is set for release on May 15, 2020.

Speaking of writing the script, Krasinki said: “[The studio] heard some pitches [for the sequel], and I told [producer] Andrew Form about this little idea and he told me to think about it a little longer. And then I thought, ‘This might really work.’ So, I’m currently writing the sequel.�

Man City blast six past hapless Saints Super Kick Penalty Shoot-out held

Manchester City players celebrate with Raheem Sterling after his second goal.

London, Nov 4 (Agencies): Manchester City made light work of Southampton as three goals inside the opening 18 minutes put them in complete control en route to a 6-1 win.

A Wesley Hoedt own goal was quickly followed by a Sergio Aguero strike before David Silva added a third. Southampton did pull a goal back through a Danny Ings penalty but Raheem Sterling put any suggestion of a comeback to bed with a fourth in firsthalf stoppage time. He then added a fifth after the break and Sane made it six in stoppage time.

City were on top right

from kick-off with Sterling and Aguero proving difficult to handle for the Southampton defence; and just five minutes in, had taken the lead.

Aguero passed to Silva, who fed Leroy Sane out wide. The Germany international played a short ball across goal and Hoedt diverted it into the back of his own net.

Relentless City doubled their lead six minutes later as Sterling drove into the Southampton box. The ex-Liver pool man then knocked the ball back for Aguero to put away from close range for his 150th Premier League goal.

And it was soon three, with Sterling involved again.

He chipped the ball over for Sane, who was beaten in the air. However, it fell kindly for Silva to lash into the roof of the net. Mark Hughes’ men looked set for a long afternoon, but were given a chance to reduce the deficit 11 minutes later.

Ederson was too slow in coming out and caught Ings as he raced onto a pass into the box. The referee pointed to the spot and the on-loan Liverpool forward dusted himself down and sent the Brazilian the wrong way to make it 3-1.

C i t y c o n t i nu e d t o dominate, despite conced-

ing, and showed their superiority with a passage of play inside their opponents’ penalty area. First Sterling, then Sane, then Silva and then Aguero beat three men each in a game of keep-ball before it fell to Kyle Walker, whose effort is wide of the post.

City scored a fourth in first-half stoppage time after Aguero had robbed Cedric Soares as the Southampton defender was attempting to usher the ball out for a corner. The Agrentine then sent in a low cross for Sterling, who tucked the ball home with his second attempt.

And it was five on 67 minutes with the same combination linking again for Sterling to fire past Alex McCarthy from an angle.

Sane added a sixth in stoppage time to improve City’s goal difference even further as they returned to the top of the Premier League table.

Arsenal hold Liverpool

Alexandre Lacazette’s late goal earned Arsenal a 1-1 draw with Liverpool on Saturday and stopped the visitors moving three points clear at the top of the Premier League.

After a tight first half, Liverpool broke the deadlock in the 61st minute as

Sadio Mane crossed from the left and Arsenal keeper Bernd Leno was only able to parry the ball into the path of James Milner who blasted a low shot into the net.

Milner was lucky to stay on the field to finish the match after a clash of heads with team mate Joe Gomez which required lengthy treatment.

The Gunners, looking to extend their unbeaten run to 14 games in all competitions, poured forward in search of an equaliser and the pressure paid off when Lacazette struck in the 82nd minute. The French striker spun away to the left side of goal to keep the ball out of goalkeeper Alisson’s reach before cutting back and firing a shot past the Brazilian’s reach and into the far corner.

Liverpool thought they had taken the lead after 20 minutes in north London when Roberto Firmino chipped the ball over Leno and it came back off the post for Mane to tap in.

The effort was ruled out as the linesman had flagged the Senegalese winger offside, although replays showed Mane was behind the Brazilian when the original shot was taken.

Winner of Super Kick Penalty Shoot-out event with the organisers.

DIMAPUR, Nov 4 (NPN): The Super Kick Penalty Shoot-out event, organised

by Nagaland Christian Revival Church (NCRC) Sumi Youth Department, was held on November 3 at A1 Power Play Chekiye village.

KDVA to conduct Barcelona earn dramatic late win Barty wins WTA Elite Trophy volleyball referee Real Madrid ends winless run

Madrid, Nov 4 (Agencies): Late goals from Ousmane Dembele and Luis Suarez earned Barcelona a dramatic 3-2 win at struggling Rayo Vallecano on Saturday to keep them four points clear at the top of La Liga.

Suarez slotted in a cross from Jordi Alba from close range to give Barca a deserved lead in the 11th minute after they made a flying start at a ground where they had eased to victory in their previous five visits and had not lost since 2002.

But Rayo, 19th in the table and with only one win all season, fought their

way back into the game and midfielder Jose Pozo smashed an equaliser in off the post in the 35th minute.

Rayo winger Alvaro Garcia sent the raucous home fans into delirium early in the second half by stabbing his side in front on the rebound after striker Raul de Thomas had struck the post with a diving header.

Barca might have had a sense of deja vu from their shock 2-1 defeat by Leganes two months ago in which they also threw away the lead, and the Catalans adopted no-nonsense tactics to get back into the game, throwing defender Gerard

Pique up front and playing frequent high balls into the box. Substitute Dembele got Barca out of trouble with a perfectly struck half volley in the 87th minute after a knockdown by Pique.

Suarez, who scored a hat-trick in last week’s drubbing of Real Madrid, completed the comeback three minutes later by arriving at the far post to steer in a cross from Sergi Roberto, striking his fifth goal in two games and a ninth in total to move top of the league’s scoring charts.

Ernesto Valverde’s side lead La Liga with 24 points, four ahead of Atletico Madrid.

Biles breaks gymnastics records

China’s Liu Tingting (center) shows her gold medal as she poses with Canada’s Anne-Marie Padurariu (left) silver medal, and Simone Biles of the US (right) bronze medal.

DOHA, Nov 4 (Agencies): Simone Biles confirmed her status as gymnastics royalty on Saturday winning her fourth gold, and sixth medal overall at this week’s world championships in Doha, in a superlative individual performance.

Biles took gold in the final female event of the week, the floor exercise, after earlier winning a bronze K Y M C

on the beam.

Such was her dominance this week, her third placed finish was her worst performance of the championships.

To add to Saturday’s successes, the 21-year-old superstar also won golds in the team event, all-around and vault as well as a silver on the uneven bars.

Her astonishing week’s work means she now has a

record, female or male, 14 world championship gold medals. She also equalled Svetlana Khorkina’s all-time high for a female gymnast of 20 world championships medals.

And with two more podium finishes on Saturday, Biles became the first gymnast since the Soviet Yelena Shushunova in 1987 to win a medal in every single event at a world championships.

Her six-for-six in Doha was also the first time an American had gained a medal in every event.

Doha was her first international competition since winning four golds at the Rio Olympics.

Biles took her final gold of the week with a floor routine which saw her marked a clear point ahead of the competition, despite penalty points for stepping out of bounds.

Compatriot Morgan Hurd took silver and Japan’s Mai Murakami bronze.

refresher course

Ashleigh Barty and Wang Qiang with their trophies after their women’s singles final match of the Zhuhai Elite Trophy.

“It’s been a great finish in China this week,” said Barty. “It’s been a phenomenal year and I’m looking forward to a bit of holiday and then getting ready for the Australian summer.”

Barty had her share of luck to even make the tournament decider after losing her opening-round robin-match in straight sets to Aryna Sabalenka.

The Queenslander defeated Caroline Garcia in her second match; the Frenchwoman then going on to beat Sabalenka in their clash to allow Barty to sneak into the semi-finals.

She took full advantage - taking down world No.14 and defending champion Julia Goerges in the semi-final before beating Wang in the decider, collecting $828,000 for her week’s work.

The win caps another strong year for Barty who had started 2017 ranked 325

in the world after a two-year sabbatical from the game and spending time playing cricket.

It is her third WTA singles title, adding to her breakthrough 2017 trophy at the Malaysian Open and this year’s grasscourt win in Nottingham.

Luis Suarez in action during a La Liga match between Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano.

Real Madrid defeated Real Valladolid 2-0 in the La Liga 11th round action, bringing an end to its fivegame winless streak in the Spanish league.

Real Madrid scored two goals over a five-minute span towards the end of the match on Saturday night to secure a much needed home win in the La Liga debut of interim coach Santiago Solari, who succeeded the dismissed Julen Lopetegui, reports Efe news.

Although Real Madrid dominated possession in the first half, it failed to open the scoring prior to halftime.

Valladolid then was dangerous in the second half and had the best chance to go ahead on the scoreboard, but a pair of shots by Ruben Alcaraz and Toni hit the woodwork and Courtois stopped a potential goal by Toni in a one-on-one opportunity.

Solari, however, made a key second-half substitution when he sent in Vinicius Jr., who replaced winger Asensio in the 73rd minute and gave Real Madrid the lead 10 minutes later on a shot that ricocheted off defender Kiko Olivas and into Valladolid’s goal. Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos then successfully converted a penalty five minutes later to give his side an insurance goal.

Zhuhai, Nov 4 (Agencies): A career-high ranking and an all-important top-16 seeding at January’s Australian Open look on the cards for Ashleigh Barty after winning the WTA Elite Trophy at Zhuhai in China.

Barty powered to a 6-3 6-4 win on Sunday over local hope Qiang Wang in 82 minutes to claim her second title of a consistent year.

With it comes a projected rise to No.15 in the world when the WTA rankings are released on Monday, positioning her well to avoid higher-ranked players until at least the fourth round at Melbourne Park.

Barty burst out of the blocks against Wang to take a 4-0 lead but, just as it looked like the opening set was over, the Chinese took advantage of some sloppy service games from her opponent to get back to 4-3.

But the Australian broke once more and served out the set.

Wang looked wellpositioned to get back into the match but couldn’t fashion a break against Barty and ultimately paid for her missed chances in the seventh game.

A slew of unforced errors handed her opponent the only break of the set and Barty eventually closed out the match on serve with a backhand smash.

Kolkata, Nov 4 (PTI): India ended a four-match winless run against the West Indies with a five-wicket victory that came on the back of debutant Krunal Pandya’s flourish and Dinesh Karthik’s poise on Sunday.

Wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav (3/13) led the Indian bowlers’ fine show to restrict West Indies to 109 for eight.

Playing their first match at home without MS Dhoni, India were 45 for four in eight overs, leaving their fragile middle order exposed. But the ‘local boy’ Karthik stayed calm in his 31 not out from 34 balls to steer India home with 13 balls to spare. Hardik’s brother, Krunal, hit the winning boundary off Keemo Paul in the 18th over. The new Pandya smashed 21 off nine balls.

This was India’s first win against the World T20 champions since 2014.

The 21-year-old debutant pacer Oshane Thomas

(2/21) gave Windies a flying start, removing both the openers, Rohit Sharma (6) and Shikhar Dhawan (3), for 16 inside the third over.

Rishabh Pant (1) got out playing a rash shot in his four-ball stay to become skipper Brathwaite’s first victim. He next dismissed KL Rahul (16) in a wicket maiden over to put India on the backfoot.

Fortunately for India, the target was not a steep one and all they needed was a sensible partnership, which turned out to be the 38-run stand from 45 balls between Manish Pandey (19) and Karthik.

Earlier, debutant Khaleel Ahmed (1/16) and Bumrah (1/27) ensured that the Windies run-rate dried up before the spin duo of Krunal Pandya (1/15) and Kuldeep made merry. Kuldeep (3/13) also completed 100 wickets in T20 cricket.

Tottering at 63 for seven inside 15 overs, the Windies looked to fold up inside 100

but Fabian Allen (27 from 20 balls) and Khary Pierre (15 not out from 13 balls) lifted the total past 100.

After being hit for a six

by Kieron Pollard in his first over, the left-arm spinner not only dismissed the explosive batsman but conceded just four runs in his final three overs to finish on a high.

Opener Shai Hope, who had impressed with an unbeaten 123 and 95 in the ODI series, was the poor victim.

Introduced in the fifth over, Bumrah picked up Shimron Hetmyer (10) wicket. Runs dried up early as the visitors struggled at 31 for three, and the World T20 champions never looked at ease in their favourite format, taking 62 balls to complete 50 runs.

Brief scores: India: 110/5 (Karthik 31 n.o, Pandya 21 n.o; Brathwaite 2/11, Thomas 2/21).beat WI: 109/8 (Fabian Allen 27; Kuldeep Yadav 3/13) by 5 wickets.

Karolina Pliskova

PRAGUE, Nov 4 (Agencies): World number eight Karolina Pliskova has pulled out of the Fed Cup final against the United States over a torn calf muscle, the Czech Republic team spokesman said Saturday.

The team physiotherapist “has diagnosed a torn calf and renewed chronic problems with the wrist,” spokesman Karel Tejkal said in a statement.

He added the 26-yearold Pliskova had picked up the injury at the recent WTA Finals in Singapore, and that she would be replaced by world doubles number one Barbora Krejcikova on the team. The Czechs have also called up seventh-ranked

Petra Kvitova, 33rd-ranked Barbora Strycova and 31stranked Katerina Siniakova, Krejcikova’s doubles partner and fellow doubles world number one.

Pliskova said she was “terribly sorry” to miss the final. “Already in Singapore I had days when even walking hurt and I felt terrible, but I didn’t think it was important,” she said in a tweet.

The final pitting the two most successful nations in Fed Cup history, the USA with 18 trophies and the Czech Republic with 10 including five as the former Czechoslovakia, will be played on the hardcourt of the sold-out 15,000-capacity O2 Arena.
