in no time, our demands continue to fall on deaf ears. I’d rather call them Bru election commission not election commission of India,” he added. Ramdinliana Renthlei, president of Mizo Students Association, said the message to the ECI was simple: “Either remove the CEO or we will make this fight just the starts. Stand for us or beware. If the bru people cast their votes outside Mizoram, youths of Mizo will do what we have to.
“We fought for Independent Mizoram back in 1966, we do not want to experience such trauma again. But, if the central is asking for it, we will not back down either. We will give our life for this state.” Meanwhile, the EC sent a team to hold talks with the protesting groups. The team of EC director Nikhil Kumar, secretary S.B. Joshi and Jharkhand chief electoral officer Lalbiaktluanga Khiangte met the NGOs at the chief sec-
retary office. However, with the EC delegates failing to meet the demands, the NGOs will continue their protest on Wednesday, said Vanlalruata. The civil society groups were protesting against the role of Shashank in the transfer of principal secretary Home, L. Chuaungo. The EC in response to Shashank’s request, ordered the transfer of Chuaungo. “As people have lost faith in him, the only solution for smooth conduct of
the Assembly elections 2018 now would be removal of CEO SB Shashank from office,” Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi Monday. Elections to the 40member Mizoram Assembly are scheduled for November 28. Govt employees union threaten: Meanwhile, a union of state government employees said they would not cooperate with the ECI unless Shashank was transferred out of the state by 4 p.m. on Friday, In a letter to Chief Election Commissioner OP Rawat, the Federation of Mizoram Government Employees and Workers described as “misplaced, biased and wrongful” the allegations against Chuaungo. “…This act (transferring Chuaungo) of the Commission is very high-handed, and unwarranted taking the plea of its authority in matters of electioneering process,” read the letter. “This has sent a very wrong signal upon the government employees and makes them vulnerable on any of their actions in the course of the election.”

Silchar, Nov 6 (PTI): Police registered an FIR against Union minister Rajen Gohain and five other political leaders Monday for allegedly making provocative statements to divide two communities in Assam in connection with the Tinsukia killings. The police said a complaint was filed by Inamul Haque Laskar, general secretary of ExUnited Liberation Front of Assam United Platform, Barak, at Silchar Sadar police station.

Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal Friday blamed inflammatory speeches by individuals and organisations for the killings. Two leaders of protalk faction of the United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) were arrested on November 2 for making provocative statements on various occasions.

Diphu, Nov 6 (Agencies): The Autonomous State Demand Committee (ASDC) has heavily come down on BJP Government at the Centre for its decision to bestow Scheduled Tribes (Hills) status to the Bodos living in the hill districts of Assam viz., Karbi Anglong, West Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao. ASDC and frontal organisations, Karbi Students’ Association and Karbi Nimso Chingthur Asong, will hold protest demonstration in Diphu on November 12 next to protest against the said decision. According to NE Now, former minister and ASDC’s president Holiram Terang in a press conference said that the BJP “cannot be allowed to grant a single tribe (read the Bodos) the right to enjoy dual benefits of ST (Plains) (P) and ST (H).” He further stated, “The said decision will have farreaching consequences on the other tribes and cannot be the individual decision of a political party. We have approached the Chief Execu-
tive Member, Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council, Tuliram Ronghang, to protest against the move of the Centre to grant ST (H) status to the Bodos. We have asked him to lead the protest and call an all-party meeting in this regard. Though he has not said in the negative, but he is dragging his feet over the whole matter. We cannot wait any longer.” ASDC leader and former CEM Jotson Bey said, “The Centre playing footsie to the armed groups cannot be condoned. Granting of ST (H) status to the Bodos living in the hill districts of Assam is as per the wish of the then rebel group Bodo Liberation Tigers. If New Delhi kowtows to armed rebels, then every other individual will take up arms so that their demands are met.” In a press note, ASDC stated, “The BJP-led Government’s repeated attempt to grant ST-Hills status to the Bodos is politically motivated. This is a sinister design to gradually exterminate the already marginalised

The very constitutional mechanism of protecting the more insular and more backward hill tribes will be eroded making the hill tribes vulnerable to being dominated by the Bodos.” “The lone Parliamentary seat and all the Assembly seats in the hills will no longer remain exclusive to the 15 hill tribes. The hill tribes shall have to complete with the educationally more advanced Bodos for Government jobs and seats in Government educational institutions. This will also affect in Government job promotions,” the ASDC note read.

After being sworn in at the Raj Bhavan, Musahary said: “I appeal to the public to cooperate with the Lokayukta by filing complaints about some people indulging in corruption.” He also requested the Conrad Sangma-led government to take necessary steps for appointment of other four members of the Lokayukta immediately. “I will request the government to appoint the officers like the secretary to the commission and some

The selection committee named Musahary as the chairman of the ombudsman in July after the Supreme Court in April asked several states, including Meghalaya, to complete the process at the earliest. The previous Congressled Meghalaya United Alliance government had introduced the new Meghalaya Lokayukta Bill, 2014 which will repeal the Meghalaya Lokayukta Act, 2012.

General secretary of RMSA Graduate Teachers Association, M Langam alleged that since they joined the service in 2011, they were not been pain salaries regularly.

Publicity secretary Pamei Zion informed that graduate teachers under RAMSA in the state education department were recruited in three batches, in 2011, 2014 and 2016.

IMPHAL, Nov 6: Zeliangrong civil organizations (ZCO) Tuesday decried inaction of the Assam government and Centre to book culprits of a recent mob lynching incident in which two persons belonging to Zeliangrong community were killed. Two persons Chungniang @ Lucky Pamai from Jalukie of Nagaland’s Peren district and Chaginchung Kamei from Ramgaizang village of Assam’s Cachar district were lynched by a mob at Hari Nagar Bengali village in Assam’s Lakhipur on November 3 last. So far the Assam government and Centre, unlike in the past other related mob killing incident, failed to take up any positive step to arrest the culprits who were involved in the mob lynching incident, a statement of media and publicity cell of ZCO issued on Tuesday alleged. “This is a clear indication of irresponsible act of the government of Assam and Government of India and also amounts to encourage the mob to commit murder,” the statement added. It asserted that the value of human lives does not differ from tribe, community, religion, race or region. Therefore the Assam government and Centre should not remain as a silent spectator regarding the killing of two civilians who belongs to Zeliangrong community, it demanded. Delaying in taking up strong action against the culprits will be construed as “giving free hand and license to those security personnel and mob mongers by Assam government and Centre to commit civilians

Earlier, Sangma said that the country was going through a challenging situation in the last four years and it was imperative on the Congress to reach out to the
people and tell them why all should come together and ensure to support a party which would restore eroding democratic values in the country which is heading to an uncertain future. He also lamented that there was too much infringement into the institutions which have been the strengthen of the nation and now they are getting attention due to all the wrong reasons.

Drama in Mizoram
M
izoram goes to the polls on November 28 and a lot has happened during the past few days, notably – resignation of the speaker and veteran Mara politician Hiphei from the house,Congress party and joining the BJP and the controversy surrounding the ouster of principal secretary (home) Lalnunmawia Chuaungo IAS of Gujarat cadre by the Election Commission of India. What has however shaken the Mizos was the controversy surrounding the actions of the state Chief Electoral Officer(CEO) S.B.Shashank. At the heart of the dispute between the Election Commission and Mizo civil society lies the question of voting rights for several thousand Bru refugees(from Myanmar) who fled ethnic violence in Mizoram and settled in camps in neighbouring Tripura. The tiff between Principal Secretary(Home) Lalnunmawia Chuanungo and CEO Shashank was over the latter’s decision to permit refugee Brus to vote inside the six refugee camps in Tripura and ordering deployment of large number of CRPF in the state to ensure smooth conduct of polls.The issue over Bru voters is that 32,000 of them who fled to Tripura from Mizoram in 1997 and were once again called back to their home state-Mizoram.However, the Supreme Court instructed the Mizoram government to not go ahead with the proposed repatriation process. Brus are lodged in six relief camps in North Tripura district. On July 2 this year, another repatriation of Mizoram’s Brus officially ended.This was the eighth such attempt since 2009. Mizos are unhappy with the ECI decision to allow Brus to cast votes inside refugee camps or through postal ballot.They demand that Brus return back and those in the electoral roll only can vote in Mizoram and not in Tripura. Shashank had okayed voting by Brus inside refugee camps in Tripura, citing ECI order but which had not gone down well with the entire state. The Mizos by and large, consistently maintain that those not residing at a particular place for a certain period cannot enter their names in the electoral roll.Again when Shashank asked for more CRPF companies for election duty,Chuanungo objected to requisition of central forces without informing the home department. Further it was pointed out that when Mizoram elections are the most peaceful, there was no need for such a huge force. Even as the chief minister Lalthanhawla and NGOs resented Shashank’s actions. The CEO went further when he reported directly to ECI against Chuanungo. As a result, the ECI ordered the Mizo IAS officer(on deputation from Gujarat) out of Mizoram and to report to the ministry of home affairs.It is unfortunate that the ECI has chosen to act in a vindictive manner against the Mizo officer without giving him time to explain.The action of the ECI smacks of political motive since the commission has been projected as being close with the government at the Centre.This belief stems from recent actions of the ECI with regard to notification of poll for Gujarat and delay in effecting poll conduct in Rajasthan where the BJP got a few hours to announce poll sops. The BJP is trying hard to gain a toehold in Mizoram riding on the back of the MNF. However the actions of the ECI and the CEO have only confirmed the power play in the country today.
DailyDevotion Intimate Theology Do you believe this? —John 11:26 Martha believed in the power available to Jesus Christ; she believed that if He had been there He could have healed her brother; she also believed that Jesus had a special intimacy with God, and that whatever He asked of God, God would do. But— she needed a closer personal intimacy with Jesus. Martha’s theology had its fulfillment in the future. But Jesus continued to attract and draw her in until her belief became an intimate possession. It then slowly emerged into a personal inheritance— “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ…” (John 11:27). Is the Lord dealing with you in the same way? Is Jesus teaching you to have a personal intimacy with Himself? Allow Him to drive His question home to you— “Do you believe this?” Are you facing an area of doubt in your life? Have you come, like Martha, to a crossroads of overwhelming circumstances where your theology is about to become a very personal belief? This happens only when a personal problem brings the awareness of our personal need. To believe is to commit. In the area of intellectual learning I commit myself mentally, and reject anything not related to that belief. In the realm of personal belief I commit myself morally to my convictions and refuse to compromise. But in intimate personal belief I commit myself spiritually to Jesus Christ and make a determination to be dominated by Him alone. Then, when I stand face to face with Jesus Christ and He says to me, “Do you believe this?” I find that faith is as natural as breathing. And I am staggered when I think how foolish I have been in not trusting Him earlier.

Empowering children I to be future civic leaders W
‘Enterprising the non-local way’
hile kids of their age were busy playing, 12year-olds Jatin, Vikas and Ritesh joined hands to resolve the problem of garbage disposal and the unhealthy living conditions in their working-class neighbourhood in Shiv Vihar in north Delhi. At the same time, Aatrey, another preteen from Nilothi Nangloi, took the initiative to solve the problem of an unsafe road after his aunt met with an accident. The force behind these children acting as civic change-agents was their Nikita didi (elder sister), a commerce graduate from Delhi University. Nitika Sharma, 23, from Dwarka wanted to “create a significant change by empowering children as future leaders” -- a desire which led her to the “Teach for India” initiative in 2017. “We had problems in our communities and we wanted to solve them, but we did not know how. Nitika didi guided us to be changemakers and helped us improve the conditions in our communities,” Vikas, who wants to become an army officer, told IANS. Sharma decided to teach the kids -- all students of Class VII in Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya, Vikaspuri -- about their rights and responsibilities and how to bring about change by working in harmony with local authorities. “I wanted to make my students problem-solvers and change-makers in the society they live in. In order to work on their leadership skills, I planned to take up a community engagement project. I saw how they faced problems living in low-income communities and wanted them to lead the transformation,” Sharma told IANS. “The students were surprised and excited as it was new for them. They had studied the hierarchy of the government, but they never had real experience of contacting government authorities. I wanted them not only to study but understand the government and how we, as citizens, have every right to bring about change in harmony with the government,” she said. Her efforts not only inspired the children but also enabled them to be change-makers.
Among the few successful efforts were the garbage disposal project by Jatin and Ritesh, straydog project by Prince, and road cleaning project by Bhavesh. “They (Jatin and Ritesh) contacted the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) regarding the unhealthy conditions and followed up for three months, which led the MCD to take notice and their problem was addressed,” Sharma said. Prince, 13, also from Shiv Vihar, worked on the problem of stray dogs causing nuisance in the area. “The nuisance created by dogs was leading them to be ill-treated in the community. He contacted the respective authorities and followed up with them to get the dogs transported to a safe rehabilitation shelter,” she said. The journey, however, was not smooth. “For solving complex problems and issues, usually more time is required. It took almost four months for solving issues like the sad state of roads. At that time, the students started losing hope. I had to make sure that I was helping and motivating them,” Sharma said. “Moreover, I did a session on rights and duties. I told them it is their duty to initiate the steps to solve problems, as we always fight for our rights but seldom remember our duties,” she added. She also recalled that it was “very easy” to lecture students about change, but it was slightly difficult to motivate them to take ownership for effecting a change. However, the success of these children does help her in motivating other students as well. “They felt responsible towards their communities, which accelerated things. I started the project before the summer holidays. I integrated holiday homework with the project so that students would be invested in it. I made sure that parents were also informed and invested, and they also encouraged their kids to solve the problems in their communities,” she said. Her objective was to inspire and equip students with the skills, values and knowledge required to be dynamic and responsible citizens of a democratic India. “Aatrey’s story of getting the
road repaired helped in motivating other students to take the initiative and solve complex issues. When he started with his project, nobody believed in him. He started his project in mid-April and followed up for four months. When his problem was solved, there was a ripple effect and other students started taking initiatives on their own and took immense pride in the efforts of their classmate,” she said. “Jatin, Ritesh and Vikas’s initiatives helped in encouraging other students to work on problems of cleanliness and hygiene. Now they want to encourage people even in their communities to focus on cleanliness,” Sharma added. On the other hand, she said, Prince’s initiatives helped in motivating students to have a safe environment. Apart from these successful efforts, there are students who are working on other projects as well. “Streetlight repairing project by Aditya and Tanuj in Shiv Vihar, garbage disposal by Dhruv, also in Shiv Vihar, are in process,” she added. Recalling their experiences, Atrey and Vikas said the MCD was “surprised” after receiving a call from children. “We called MCD regarding our problems. They were surprised that children were calling them but they were extremely supportive. They asked us about the address and the nature of the problem and gave us the complaint number. We had to follow up with them for one to four months depending on the problem. We contacted the respective authorities through calls and waited because we knew some of the problems were grave,” they said. The positive response from the children and the MCD built a trust between people and the system. “We would like to solve other problems in our communities and inspire other people to lead change. We also want to have sustainable solutions and we can do that by creating awareness in the communities,” Vikas added. (IANS ) Nivedita Singh, (nivedita.singh@ians.in)
t’s been 54 years since Nagaland attained its statehood and besides all the developmental work in the state going at a snail’s pace there is much more concern regarding the growing unemployment problems in the state which is swelling up year after year and which eventually have led many Nagas to venture out in the field of trade and commerce with a hope to sustain their life. No doubt many could succeed in making a fortune out of enterprising but still majority couldn’t for different reasons. Talking about our ancestors we learnt that they led a simple life, they were self sufficient and barter system was practiced with honesty and fairness. The present system of trading was an alien during those years, in other words the present Naga generation are venturing out in a field which our ancestors had never experienced of, so we can say that enterprising is not in our blood and it’s a new things for Nagas comparing with our counterparts Indians brothers and sisters who are flourishing from Vishay caste, a traditionally traders and merchants (just an example of traits). To put in the nutshell we can say that our counterparts are much more experienced and successful in this field. But today the problem is not about who is more experienced and successful but the way we Nagas enterprises. It is in such a way that all of us had experienced how Naga auto/taxi drivers charge the passengers, the Naga butchers cheating their own fellow Naga customers, their way of adding unwanted meat (bokjis) as bonus, the Naga vegetables vendors selling even a grass at exorbitant rate, the ordinary but expensive boutiques, hotels and restaurants, etc. the quality and quantity is compromised mostly, commodities and items rated as “FIXED” top of that the virtue of business that treats the customers as King by the businessman is missing from Naga traders and Naga service providers.
How often do you buy things from nagas by shelling out extra money which is not worthy of or buying food which is double and triple from that of the non-local stalls/hotels. But keeping asides all this ill system of trading and although hurt and irritated we still make up our mind and heart saying WE should support Naga business community and I believe it is this positive attitude of the Nagas that sustains the Naga business community. But today the question is how long we are going to support them in this way. I believed this is one major factor that Naga businessman cannot compete with the nonlocals. Because our society is dominated by the economy class and people cannot shell out extra every time but will rather end up shopping and buying where prices are reasonable and more welcoming offered by non-locals. Business is a competition where the best survive and flourish and in order to flourish WE Nagas need to learn a lesson from the nonlocal business communities. I believed TAX is not the reason for the failure as same tax is imposed on the non-locals also but still they flourish. Capitals in business is very essential but capital alone cannot help because the virtue of business is equally important so also we Nagas need to learn how to save which I feel is the strength for the success of enterprising by the non-locals. It is not by copying but by following the principles of enterprising Nagas can become successful. It is not by thriving out the non-locals or not buying from the non-locals that Naga business communities will succeed but by following their steps of enterprising at reasonable rates and friendly gestures and attitudes towards the customers and clients the Naga business communities will flourish. Learning from the non-locals will never make Nagas inferior; rather we Nagas will soon have a Naga Bill Gates. Toshi Jamir, Nagarjan
Good thoughts on this Diwali Overburdened department of School Education Nagaland
D
iwali, the festival of lights, which is celebrated every autumn in the month of October or November symbolizes the spiritual “victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance”. Diwali brings lots of happiness and brightness in our life. Before the day of Diwali everyone is involved in the cleaning of their houses, buying new things , sweets, gifts, decorate their houses with lights etc. These all add to the joyous nature of the festival and it is a truly happy festival, which is one reason it is loved by so many. Why do we celebrate this festival ? Is this, the festival to enjoy only? What is its real significance in our life? So let’s start asking to ourselves these questions. There is a reason to celebrate behind every festival and we need to understand the message convey through their celebration. According to the tradition link, Diwali is the day Rama, Sita, Lakshmana and Hanuman reached Ayodhya after a period in exile and Rama’s army of good defeated demon king Ravana’s army of evil. Rama is welcomed back as the conquering hero and rightful heir to the throne. The epic battle of good (Rama) versus evil (Ravan) is another great theme of this festival. There is no physical demon called Ravan today but there is plenty of evidence of what he represented: anger, fear, greed , hatred. The greatest battle that we face in our lives today is not with other people, but with banishing these feelings and emotions

Inculcating good qualities from ‘the unexpected’
Sir,
Don’t be too surprised when your heart takes leave from your logical mind and wishes to remain grateful even to those people you desire to keep away from. The good qualities you bear today, and for which your mind would have raised itself to a refined standard, would have been inculcated through the people you’ve chosen to avoid: The blah-blah blabbering talkatives who taught you the meaning of silence, the Intolerant moron who taught you tolerance, the most Unkind who taught you kindness, the Proud and Haughty who taught you humility, the Unbelieving sufferer who ignited your Faith... There are times when Heaven, finding no other better ways, decides to teach you through the lives you come across. Having learnt, don’t remain ungrateful to these people...for they have their own purpose and a “right to destiny”! A. Anato Swu, Satakha Town Zunheboto newspaper nor that of the Editor in any manner.

62 Maoists surrender in Chhattisgarh New Delhi, Nov 6 (AGENCIES): Sixty-two “hardcore Naxals” surrendered before security forces in Chhattisgarh on Tuesday, police in the pollbound state said, a development Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh described as a “huge achievement”. Of the 62 Maoists, 55 surrendered with their arms and ammunition in Narayanpur district, Inspector General of Police (Bastar) Vivekanand Sinha told PTI. The “hardcore Naxals” were working under the Kutul area committee of the CPI(Maoists), he said. “The surrender of such a large group of Naxals is definitely a positive development and it will have a psychological impact on the Maoist cadres,” he said over the phone, adding that more Maoists are expected to surrender in the coming days. Polling for the 90-seat Chhattisgarh Assembly is scheduled to be held in two phases - on November 12 for 18 seats and on November 20 for 72 constitu-

encies. Most of the constituencies in the first phase fall in the state’s Bastar region. The Maoists have called for a boycott of the elections. Soon after the surrender, the home minister said in a series of tweets that the success of the government’s surrender policy was pushing Naxal cadres to shun the path of violence. “Happy to know that a large number of Left Wing Extremists have surrendered before the Police by giving up their arms in Chhattisgarh. I congratulate the State Chief Minister @drramansingh, the DGP and the police force for this huge achieve-
ment,” he said. Singh said the surrenders clearly indicated that the Chhattisgarh government is effectively pursuing a surrender and rehabilitation policy for left wing extremists. “The success of government’s surrender policy is pushing the LWE cadre to shun the path of violence. I hope that the other LWE operatives will also abjure violence and join the mainstream,” he said. Giving details, Narayanpur Superintendent of Police Jitendra Shukla said the 62 Naxals, all lower rung cadres, turned themselves in before Sinha and other senior police and Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) officials at the Narayanpur district headquarters. Fifty-five of them surrendered with muzzle loading guns, Shukla told PTI, adding that the rebels cited disappointment with the “hollow ideology of Maoists and violence”. Describing the move as a good sign ahead of the state polls, he said the rebels were working for different sub-groups and frontal
outfits of the outlawed CPI (Maoist) for the past eight-nine years. These included the Jantana Sarkar (people’s government), Janmilitia and Sangham groups. On October 10 this year, a police camp was set up in Sonpur village, located in the Maoist hotbed of Abhujmad, where these cadres were active, Shukla said. The police base was also important in that area from a strategic point of view as it would help security forces to carry out operations in Abhujmad, he said. In accordance with the Chhattisgarh government’s policy, necessary assistance will be provided to cadres who had surrendered, he added. Another police officer said at least five of the Naxals who surrendered had standing warrants against them. Security forces have been recovering posters and banners with poll boycott messages during their operations in parts of south Bastar almost daily, officials said.
Protests for note ban put off for diwali: Congress
Manish Tewari (File)
New Delhi, Nov 6 (AGENCIES): Congress said on Tuesday it will hold protests across the country on November 9 to mark the second anniversary of demonetisation and asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to apologise to the nation for “ruining and wrecking the Indian economy”. “Two years ago, the Prime Minister announced demonetisation and gave three reasons for it - to curb black money, weed out fake notes and proscribe terror funding. Two years later, none of those objectives has materialised,” Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari said while speaking to reporters.

Cong should lead grand alliance: JD(S) Bengaluru, Nov 6 (AGENCIES): Bolstered by the bypoll success of the JD-S-Congress coalition in the bypolls, Karnataka Chief Minister H. D. Kumaraswamy said on Tuesday that Congress should lead the proposed grand alliance against the BJP in the 2019 elections as it will be the leading party of the opposition and will win the largest number of seats. He also said that all regional parties must come together to support the Congress in the next general election. “Naturally, for the future election, Congress is the national party. They are going to get individually more number of seats. Because of that reason, they have to lead. Congress has to take the lead. For Congress, all regional parties must come together and support,” Kumaraswamy told NDTV. He said victory of the JD-S-Congress coalition on Tuesday in four of the five parliamentary and assembly seats, for which elections were held last week, was a message to the people of the state. “Definitely, it (byelections) is going to give a message to the Karnataka

voters. This result is going to influence 2019 elections too,” he said. Kumarawamy said that the next general election “will be a successful result” for the opposition including the Congress and the regional parties. “Yeah they are going to get it (the majority). People are going to bless Mahaganthbandhan. People are fed up with the present system of the country, they want an alternate,” Kumarawamy said. Asked about possible reservations of BSP leader Mayawati and Trinamool Congress chief Mamta Banerjee to the Congress leading the alliance, he said, “if there is no combination also (ahead of the polls) then everyone will come together after the polls.” Asked if Rahul Gandhi should lead
the alliance, Kumaraswamy said his remarks should not be judged from the fact that the Congress and Janata Dal-Secular were running a coalition government in the state and the Congress chief had supported him. “If you ask me my individual opinion, Rahulji is actually very innocent and very friendly. Once he is committed, he is committed to get the work (done) according to my experience.” Asked about the perception that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will have an advantage if Gandhi is projected as the opposition face, Kumaraswamy said: “Rahul is innocent in politics according to my experience. He is very sincere and very honest.” He said taking on Modi or not was a different issue “but ultimately the decision has to be taken by the citizens. They (people) have to take proper decisions.” The ruling alliance in Karnataka trounced the BJP 4-1 in the bye-elections in Karnataka winning two Lok Sabha and two Assembly constituencies, while conceding the Shimoga parliamentary seat to the saffron party.
No need for forest minister to resign: Fadnavis Faizabad to be renamed as Ayodhya Osmanabad, Nov 6 (PTI): Amid the controversy over the killing of tigress Avni, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said Tuesday that there was no need for forest minister Sudhir Mungantiwar to resign over the issue. The chief minister will speak to Union Minister Maneka Gandhi, who has lashed out at the state government over the killing, and an inquiry will be conducted if required, Fadnavis said at

Osmanabad in Maharashtra. “The tigress had killed 13 people. Sometimes the government has to take a tough decision. We feel sorry about having to kill Avni,” Fadnavis said, speaking to the reporters. “There is no need for Mungantiwar to resign. Mungantiwar had not gone there in person to kill the tigress,” the chief minister said. The government did not have any personal interest in seeing the tigress dead, he added. “The general pro-

cedure in such cases is to first try and inject the animal with tranquiliser dart and then shoot if needed. The hunter hired by the government has assured that this procedure
was followed. If there was any lapse, we will order an inquiry,” Fadnavis said. Asked about Maneka Gandhi’s outburst, Fadnavis said, “I will personally speak with the union minister and clarify the whole matter. The government respects her sentiments towards wild life and animals.” The Union Women and Child Development Minister had slammed Mungantiwar for hiring private marksmen Shafat Ali Khan and his son Asgar
Ali for carrying out hunting operations in the state, including the killing of tigress Avni. Mungantiwar had responded by saying that Gandhi lacked information on the issue and she was free to order a high-level probe. The tigress, officially known as T1, was believed to be responsible for the death of 13 people. It was shot dead by Ali in the Borati forest in Yavatmal district last week. She has left behind two cubs.
Ayodhya (UP), Nov 6 (PTI): Close on the heels of renaming Allahabad as Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Tuesday announced that Faizabad district will henceforth be known as Ayodhya. “Ayodhya is a symbol of our ‘aan, baan aur shaan’ (honour, pride and prestige)” he said in the pilgrim town, about 120 km from state capital Lucknow. “Nobody can do injustice to Ayodhya,” he said, adding that the holy city is identified by Lord Ram. Adityanath was speaking on the occasion of “Deepotsav” on Diwali eve. He also announced setting up of
a new airport in Ayodhya, named after Lord Ram, and a medical college in the name of King Dashrath, father of Lord Ram, in the district. A section of the crowd was also heard chanting “Mandir ka nirman karao” (build a temple). “Deepotsav is about starting a new tradition,” Adityanath said at the event at Katha Park which was also attended by South Korean First Lady Kim Jungsook. Several projects, including redevelopment and beautification of ‘Ram Ki Paidi’ and stoppage of sewage disposal in Saryu river, were launched at the event.

Beijing, Nov 6 (IANS): India on Tuesday expressed concerns over its increasing trade deficit with China and asked Beijing to give Indian products more access to the Chinese market in the fields of pharmacy, agriculture and information technology. India’s Commerce Secretary Anup Wadhawan had a bilateral meet with China’s Vice Commerce Minister Wang Shouwen in Shanghai where he expressed concerns regarding the increasing trade deficit.A The trade between India and China last year reached $84.4 billion. The current trade deficit between both countries stands over $60 billion. India has often complained to China about less Indian exports due to the strictly-controlled Chinese market. The Indian embassy said in a statement that Wadhawan told Wang that “areas such as agriculture products, pharmaceuticals, information technology services and tourism, in which India has proven strengths and significant global presence but a minuscule presence in China, need to be encouraged in bilateral trade”.

Mumbai, Nov 6 (PTI): The rupee rebounded by 12 paise to end at 73 per US dollar Tuesday on increased selling of the greenback by exporters and softening crude oil prices. Globally, the dollar edged up even as investor sentiment remained cautious amid the US midterm elections. At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (forex) market, the rupee opened on a firm note at 72.98 from Monday’s close of 73.12. It gained further ground to hit a high of 72.90, driven by dollar selling by exporters. The local unit, however, pared the initial gains and finally settled the day at 73 to the US dollar, up 12 paise. The rupee had plunged 67 paise to close at 73.12 Monday. “Ahead of the US midterm elections, ICE Dollar Index has been trading flat at 96.45.

New Delhi, Nov 6 (PTI): Gold prices fell by Rs 80 to Rs 32,610 per 10 grams at the bullion market Tuesday due to easing demand from local jewellers as well as retailers amid weak trend overseas. Silver followed suit and dropped by Rs 240 to Rs 39,300 per kg on poor offtake by industrial units. Traders said the slide in gold price was attributed to absence of follow up buying support post ‘Dhanteras’ from jewellers and retailers coupled with a weak trend in global market. Dhanteras is considered to be an auspicious day for buying gold, silver and other valuables and is largely celebrated in northern and western parts of India. Globally, gold fell by 0.15 per cent to USD 1,229.30 an ounce in Singapore. In the national capital, gold of 99.9 and 99.5 per cent purity traded lower by Rs 80 each to Rs 32,610 and Rs 32,460 per 10 grams respectively.

RBI to be more lenient,” he said, adding the central bank would examine them in close details and in reference to risks to financial stability. “We (RBI) have responsibility for financial stability and therefore we have an authority to say no,” he said. The RBI led by Governor Urjit Patel and the government have not been on the same page on different issues for some months now. The disagreements came out in open when RBI Deputy Governor Viral Acharya in a hard-hitting speech said failure to defence central bank’s independence would “incur the wrath of the financial markets”. It later emerged that the government had used a never-before-used provision of the law to seek resolution of issues, including the easing of NPA norms,

It has a responsibility to fulfill to the nation. It has to listen of course but at the end of it, after listening it has to make a decision because ultimately it has that responsibility,” he said. On the role of the RBI board, he said its role historically has not been to take operational decisions but to focus on broader strategy as well as ensure good governance. “So, they are there to ensure that the government’s money is well spent in the RBI, for example, the RBI doesn’t pay itself inordinate salaries and so on but also to serve as a sounding board which is why we have people from different walks of society, very eminent people,” he said. “So, my sense is the objective of the board is to protect the institution, not to serve others’ interest; it is to protect the health of the institution but also to provide wide, sensible advice. The aim of the board is to be Rahul Dravid -- sensible, thoughtful and not, with due respect, Navjot Sidhu,” he said.

US midterm elections begin Americans start voting in midterm verdict on Trump rule
WASHINGTON, NOV 6 (AGENCIES): Americans started voting Tuesday in critical midterm elections that mark the first major voter test of Donald Trump’s controversial presidency, with control of Congress at stake. About three quarters of the 50 states in the east and center of the country were already voting as polls began opening at 6:00 am (1100 GMT) for the daylong ballot. Re p u b l i c a n s we r e keenly aware that losing their majority will hamstring his political agenda over the next two years. At stake are all 435 seats in the House of Representatives, 35 seats in the 100-member Senate, 36 governor’s posts and seats in state legislatures across the country. For almost two years, Tr ump’s r ule-breaking, sometimes chaotic administration has enjoyed a largely free hand from the twin Republican-controlled chambers, but the midterms could finally see his wings clipped.
Voters cast their ballots for early voting at the Los Angeles County Registrar’s Office in Norwalk, California on November 5, 2018.
According to nearly all pollsters, the Democrats have a good chance of winning the House, while the Republicans are likely to retain the Senate. But with turnout a key unknown factor and pollsters still unsure about the effect of Trump’s maverick style on voters, both parties admit that they may be in for nasty surprises. After a campaign in which Trump was accused of race-baiting with repeated and unsubstantiated references to an “invasion” of undocumented immigrants bent on rape and murder, left-right divisions in America could not be deeper. “It’s a consequential election,” said Yorgo Koutsogiogasi, 64, who was among 17 people ready to cast ballots at a downtown Chicago polling sta-
tion when doors opened at 6:00 am. “Divisiveness in the country is really tearing the country apart,” said the Greek immigrant, a company CEO. First in line was a retiree, Jerry, who did not want to give his last name and said he was voting for the first time in midterm elections. “The Dems are insane,” he said. “I heard Democrats want to give illegals the right to vote.” AFP reporters saw a steady flow of early voters at the Brooklyn Museum polling station in New York, and many voters at a station in Arlington, Virginia. US television networks showed lines of voters at stations elsewhere, following high turnout by those who voted ahead of elec-
tion day itself. Although not on the ballot, Trump made himself the focus of the entire contest, jetting around the country to hold rallies -- in three states on Monday alone. Trump declared “the Republican agenda is the American dream” and at his final event, in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, he called on supporters to seize their “righteous destiny as Americans.” Democrats saw the election in equally historic terms. Voters will “define the future, not just of Texas, but of this country, not just of this generation but every generation that follows,” said Democrat Beto O’Rourke, a former punk band member challenging Senator Ted Cruz in traditionally deep-Republican Texas. At every rally, Trump has vowed to his supporters that they will “win, win, win.” But as he touched down in Indiana on Monday, even Trump conceded that the House may slip from his party’s grasp. “We’ll just have to work a little bit differently,” he told reporters when asked how he’d live with a Democrat-controlled lower chamber.

Sri Lanka pol crisis grows; Dy minister resigns
Migrant caravan straggle into Mexico City to shelter at stadium
C O L O M B O, N OV 6 (AGENCIES): A deputy minister resigned Tuesday from Sri Lanka’s government after the appointment of a former strongman as prime minister plunged the country into a political crisis, reports AP. Sri Lanka has been engulfed in turmoil since President Maithripala Sirisena dismissed Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe last month and replaced him with ex-strongman Mahinda Rajapaksa. The resignation of Deputy Minister of Labor and Foreign Employment Manusha Nanayakkara came a day after Parliament Speaker Karu Jayasuriya said he will continue to recognize Wickremesinghe as prime minister until Rajapaksa can demonstrate he controls a parliamentary majority. In a letter to Sirisena, Nanayakkara said he agrees with the speaker’s stance. His resignation is seen as an upset for Rajapaksa’s efforts to obtain a majority in Parliament. Since his ouster, Wickremesinghe has remained in the prime minister’s official residence and insists he is still the legitimate leader.
MEXICO CITY, NOV 6 (AGENCIES): Thousands of Central Americans dreaming of getting to the United States streamed into Mexico’s capital and bedded down in a sports stadium on the eve of U.S. midterm elections in which President Donald Trump has made the migrant caravan a central issue, reports AP. Authorities counted more than 2,000 migrants entering the Jesus Martinez stadium by midafternoon Monday, and a steady flow continued into the night. The facility has a capacity to hold 6,000, officials said, and four big tents set up for sleeping filled up. Still hundreds of miles from the U.S. border, early arrivals eagerly sifted through donated clothes, gave themselves sponge baths and ate chicken and rice. They then picked up thin mattresses to hunker down for the night. Much in demand were blankets to ward off the chill in a city more than 7,300 feet (2,240 meters) above sea level, a big change after trudging for three weeks in tropical heat. Nashieli Ramirez, ombudsman for the local human rights commission, said the city was preparing to accommodate as many as 5,000 people. The lead

caravan is estimated to have about 4,000 participants and several smaller groups are trailing hundreds of miles to the south. “We have the space in terms of humanitarian help,” Ramirez said. Many of the migrants sought treatment for blistered and aching feet, illness and other maladies. “Since we got here, we have not stopped,” said Tania Escobar, a nurse with Mexico City’s public health department at the treatment tent. Melvin Figueroa, a 32-year-old from Tegucigalpa, Honduras, was with his pregnant wife and two children, 6 and 8. He took the 6-year-old girl to the tent because her eyes were
irritated and “she throws up everything she eats.” More migrants were trudging along the highway between the city of Puebla and the capital, trying to hitch rides from passing vehicles. Trump has seized on the caravan and portrayed it as a major threat, even though such caravans have happened regularly over the years and largely passed unnoticed. He ordered thousands of troops to the U.S.Mexico border when the migrants were still hundreds of miles to the south, threatened to detain asylum seekers in tents cities and has insinuated without proof that there are criminals or even terrorists in the group.
China unveiled a partial model of its manned space station at an aerospace fair in Zhuhai.
ZHUHAI (CHINA), NOV 6 (AGENCIES): China unveiled on Tuesday a replica of its first permanently crewed space station, which would replace the international community’s orbiting laboratory and symbolises the country’s major ambitions beyond Earth, reports AFP. The 17-metre (55-foot) core module was a star attraction at the biennial Airshow China in the southern coastal city of Zhuhai, the country’s main aerospace industry exhibition. Outside, China’s J-10 fighter jet and J-20 stealth fighter wowed spectators as
they zoomed across Zhuhai’s sky. Back inside, the country displayed its fleet of drones and other military hardware. Crowds gathered around the cylindrical space station module representing the living and working quarters of the Tiangong -- or “Heavenly Palace” -- which will also have two other modules for scientific experiments and will be equipped with solar panels. Three astronauts will be permanently stationed in the 60-tonne orbiting lab, which will enable the crew to conduct biological and microgravity research.
Assembly is expected to be completed around 2022 and the station would have a lifespan of around 10 years. The International Space Station -- a collaboration between the United States, Russia, Canada, Europe and Japan -- has been in operation since 1998 but is due to be retired in 2024. China will then have the only space station in orbit, though it will be much smaller than the ISS which weighs 400 tonnes and is as large as a football pitch. The country announced in May that the lab would be open to “all countries” to conduct science experiments. “There is no doubt that China will use its station in a similar way as the ISS partners are using their outpost: research, technology and as a stepping-stone for deep-space exploration,” said Chen Lan, analyst at GoTaikonauts.com, a website specialised in the Chinese space programme. Research institutes, universities, and public and private companies have been invited to propose projects.

I-League: Ten-man Churchill hold Kashmir IPL 2019 season to start early
S r i nag a r , N ov 6 (IANS): A ten-man Churchill Brothers held Real Kashmir FC to a goalless draw as history was made at Srinagars TRC ground with the first ever I-League game taking place in the state of Jammu & Kashmir here on Tuesday. The two-time former champions from Goa had their goalkeeper James Kithan sent off just before half-time but held on and in fact even had the last chance of the game. They remain un-
beaten in their first three games, all of them away from home. Scottish coach David Robertson’s home side will feel an opportunity was lost to register a second successive win in their debut campaign, having won the opener against defending champions Minerva Punjab away from home. Kashmir opted to solely depend on Ivorian striker Gnohere Krizo for a breakthrough, but the visitors’ defence led by Libyan Hussein Eldor and Serbian Nenad Novakovic
had a solid outing, thwarting all such designs of the home team. Robertson had an unchanged line-up from the eleven which beat holders Minerva Punjab in their opener while Churchill’s Romanian coach Gigiu opted to start with Lamgoulen Hangshing as his under-22 pick instead of Vinil Poojary who had started in the previous game. It was end to end football in brilliant sunshine, but chances were few and far between in the first half.

US Olympic moves to disband USA gymnastics body
LOS ANGELES, Nov 6 (Agencies): The United States Olympic Committee said on Monday (Nov 5) it had begun moves to disband the country’s governing body for gymnastics, accusing the sport’s rulers of failing to grapple with the aftermath of the Larry Nassar sexual abuse scandal. USOC chief executive Sarah Hirshland said in a statement Olympic chiefs had started formal proceedings to revoke USA Gymnastics’ status as the governing body for the sport in the United States. In an open letter addressed to US gymnasts, Hirshland said USA Gymnastics had failed to “change its

culture, to rebuild its leadership, and to effectively serve its membership.” “You deserve better,” Hirshland told gymnasts in the letter. USA Gymnastics has lurched from one self-inflicted debacle to the next as it struggles to rebuild in the aftermath of the Nassar abuse scandal, the worst scandal in US Olympic history. Former US team doctor Nassar was jailed for life earlier this year after abusing more than 250 athletes, including several stars of the United States’ gold medal-winning teams at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics. The beleaguered governing body, which had been accused of covering up
Nassar’s crimes, has been in a state of perpetual crisis ever since the scandal erupted. Last month, newly installed chief executive Mary Bono resigned after just four days following an outcry by Olympic stars Simone Biles and Alexandra Raisman. Bono had taken over from chief executive Kerry Perry, who had resigned after just nine months after criticism of her performance by USOC. Perry’s departure came after the appointment and swift resignation of elite coach Mary Lee Tracy - who had made comments supportive of Nassar in 2016 when allegations of abuse against him had begun to emerge.
stopped the ball with his hand and was promptly sent off. Churchill ended the half honours even, but with 10 men on the pitch, Vigneshwaran ‘Vicky’ Bhaskaran now in goal, brought on in place of Langshing. In the second half, Churchill sat deep but the hosts embarked upon a strategy to try and find Krizo with long balls from the deep defence. Their second option was to penetrate down the middle. Krizo did hit the bar once in the 65th minute after breaking into the box, this time from the left and unleashing a wonderful right-footed curler. The other opportunity was when Katebe and Danish Farooq played a 1-2 on the right and the latter’s shot from inside the box was saved by Vicky in the Churchill goal. Churchill had the last chance of the game when Dawda Cessay got onto a free-kick halfway between the goal and the right corner flag. His floater was good but could not find the head of a Churchill player. Churchill now have three points from their three draws while Real Kashmir have picked up their fourth point after their second game.
According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, the IPL 2019 auctions will be held on December 17 and 18 in Jaipur, keeping in mind the early start of the season. However, the franchises first want some clarity on the venue of the tournament as the report goes on to add that it could be moved out of India due to the general elections. South Africa and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are possible venues for the eight-team
tournament. “We wanted the auction to be conducted after the venue is known so that we could have chosen our players accordingly but the BCCI has its own timelines to follow,” a franchise official said. “We understand that the venue would be known by then,” another official added. India will play their first round-robin game against South Africa in Southampton on June 5.

Danish Farooq hit the bar for the hosts as early as the seventh minute. Then Churchill’s Israil Gurung broke away on the left flank in the 13th minute and his cross found Langshing with a free header inside the box but his effort went just over the bar. Krizo was also making his presence felt with some aggressive runs down the middle and putting Eldor and Novakovic under considerable pressure. He rose for a header in the 37th minute but the weak effort lobbed over the Churchill bar. Willis Plaza broke free on the right side of the Kashmir box and his shot missed the far post, not by much. The incident of the first half which changed the game completely happened just before the end. Nenad Novakovic under constant pressure from Krizo fumbled a back pass inside his own half on to the path of Aaron Katebe who went off on a run with just the goalkeeper in front of him. James Kithan, in the Churchill goal, sensed the danger and rushed out of his box to thwart Katebe. The Zambian tried to go around him, but a falling Kithan in the heat of the moment inadvertently

in the night and early on Tuesday as they saw women from the banned age group approaching the shrine. Two women on Tuesday were apprehended on their way through Pamba and threatened after devotees found they were without the holy kit (Irumudi Kettu). Shouting Ayyappa slogans, the protesters stopped them from advancing any further. This was despite the fact that they were above 50 years, the police said. It was not until their leaders announced on megaphone that the protests ended. Later, the women were helped to complete their darshan and perform puja at the hilltop temple. The first protests were
Will project Mayawati as PM candidate: Ajit Jogi
Raipur, Nov 6 (PTI): It is an alliance that took shape in just a few hours of discussion and the former Chhattisgarh chief minister Ajit Jogi wants it to continue till the 2019 general elections by projecting his ally and BSP supremo Mayawati as the prime ministerial candidate. "Mayawatiji deserves to be the country's prime minister. She is appropriate for the post and she has the potential," Jogi said. Describing the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief as a natural leader, the bureaucrat-turned-politician told PTI in an interview, "There are various things that work in her favour. She is a woman, a Dalit and also has an experience of serving as chief minister of Uttar Pradesh four times." Jogi, 72, is the chief ministerial candidate of the alliance. He had earlier served as Chhattisgarh's first chief minister as a Congress leader between 2000 and 2003 after the tribal-dominated state was carved out of Madhya Pradesh. However, the Congress could not return to power after Jogi's tenure ended and the BJP leader Raman Singh has served as its chief minister for nearly 15 years since
then. One reason many cite for Congress' failure to come back to power in the state is infighting among various state leaders. Jogi left the Congress in 2016. While Chhattisgarh has always seen a two-way fight between the arch rivals BJP and Congress, Jogi-Mayawati alliance has become a keenly-watched third force this time. Even Chief Minister Singh, a BJP stalwart in the state where elections for 90 assembly seats would be held in two phases on November 12 and November 20, has acknowledged that Jogi would impact the Bharatiya Janata Party as well as the Congress. The BSP has one MLA in the outgoing assembly, while its vote share fell to 4.27 per cent in 2013. However, combining of forces between Jogi and Mayawati is being seen as having a multiplier effect, especially in terms of caste equations. Out of 90 total seats, 29 are reserved for tribals and 10 for Scheduled Castes. In the non-reserved seats, the population of SCs is more than 10 per cent in 40 assemblies. Besides, the other backward classes constitute about 48 per cent of the state's population.

witnessed late on Monday, when a 30-year-old woman along with her husband and children was stopped. Following the violent outbursts, the woman retreated. She was sent back home along with her family early on Tuesday under police security. Although the Kerala Police has literally taken over Sabarimala posting a dozen women officials over 50 years of age near the shrine, there has not been any woman devotee inside the sanctum sanctorum from the hitherto banned age group despite the Pinarayi Vijayan government promising to implement the September 28 Supreme Court verdict.
The police have registered cases against 200 people for creating trouble in the temple compound. According to the available figures, close to 15,000 pilgrims had taken the pathway to the temple hilltop, compared with less than 1,000 devotees the same day last year. The temple had witnessed massive protests between October 17 and 22, after it opened for the first time following the apex court’s ruling allowing the girls and women between 10 and 50 to enter the Lord Ayyappa shrine. The temple town is witnessing one of its most stringent security arrangements. There were more than 2,300 police officials posted at various points up the pilgrimage path after the state took over the shrine’s security on Saturday. Several metal detectors have been kept at a various points and crowd combating arrangements are also in place. The Kerala government has announced it would implement the apex court’s ruling, pitting it against the BJP and numerous Hindu groups, which have been up in arms against the verdict. Seven-time Independent legislator P.C. George, whose Poonjar constituency includes part of the temple town, said he fails to understand what has happened to the Chief Minister.
Adityanath renames Faizabad district as Ayodhya LU C K N OW, N OV 6 (AGENCIES): UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is on a spree to change names of districts in his state. After renaming Allahabad as Prayagraj, the name of Faizabad district has been changed to Ayodhya. On the occasion of the Diwali eve on Tuesday, Adityanath said that the Faizabad district will henceforth be known as Ayodhya. “Ayodhya is a symbol of our ‘aan, baan aur shaan’ (honour, pride and prestige)” he said at the pilgrim town, which is 120km from the state capital Lucknow. “Nobody can do injustice to Ayodhya,” he said, adding that the holy city is identified by Lord Ram. He also announced the setting up of a medical college in the name of King Dashrath, father of Lord Ram, in the district. “A medical college will be established here in Ayodhya, I want it to be named after King Dasharatha. We will also construct an airport here named after Lord Ram,” said the UP CM. Later in the evening, South Korean First Lady Kim-Jung Sook, who is on a four-day visit to India, and Yogi Adityanath performed ‘Aarti’ on banks of Sarayu river in Ayodhya. As per news agency ANI, over 3,01,152 earthen lamps were lighted at the event named as Ayodhya Deepostav 2018. The event entered the Guinness Book of Record for lighting these lamps.

ED attaches Nirav’s properties in Dubai New Delhi, Nov 6 (PTI): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) Tuesday said it had attached 11 properties worth over Rs 56 crore of fugitive diamond jeweller Nirav Modi in Dubai in connection with its moneylaundering probe in the USD 2-billion Punjab National Bank (PNB) fraud case. The central probe agency said the assets were in the name of “Modi and his group company M/s Firestar Diamond FZE and they bear a market value of USD 7.79 million, which is equivalent to Rs 56.8 crore”. The ED has issued a provisional order for attachment of these assets under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Last month, the agency had attached assets worth Rs 637 crore of Modi and his family members, including two apartments at New York’s iconic Central Park. Sources in the agency said the ED would soon get multiple letters rogatory (judicial requests) issued by a Mumbai court for the legal formalisation of the attachment of these assets in coordination with its counterpart in Dubai. Once the LRs were issued, India could freeze the foreign assets of an accused as part of a global legal cooperation in criminal matters, they added. Modi has been absconding since the alleged
of a firm linked to fugitive jeweller Mehul Choksi in connection with its moneylaundering probe in the USD 2-billion PNB fraud case, officials said on Tuesday. They added Deepak Kulkarni was apprehended from the Kolkata airport after he landed from Hong Kong on Monday. Kulkarni, who was arrested under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), was produced before a court in Kolkata on Tuesday, which granted three days’ transit remand to the ED to produce him before a regular court in Mumbai, the officials said. This PMLA case has been registered by the ED at its zonal office in Mumbai. Kulkar ni has been linked to the overseas businesses of Choksi, one of the main accused in the case, and the ED had notified a Look-out Circular (LoC) against him, the officials said. He was a director in a Hong Kong-based “dummy” firm linked to Choksi, an official had said, adding that the ED had named him in a charge sheet filed against the jeweller earlier this year and a Mumbai court had also issued a non-bailable warrant against him. The agency wants to grill him in connection with half-a-dozen transactions done by the Choksi group of companies in India and abroad, they said.
Nirav Modi (File)
bank fraud, by far the biggest in the country, came to light early this year and an Interpol arrest warrant was recently notified against him even as India is working to get him extradited from the UK, where he was last reported to have been based. The agency has attached assets worth over Rs 700 crore of Modi and his family in the country till now. It has also filed a chargesheet against the fugitive diamond jeweller, alleging that he laundered and diverted over Rs 6,400 crore of bank funds to dummy companies abroad, which were under his and his family’s control. Modi, his uncle Mehul Choksi and others are being probed under various criminal laws, following a complaint by the PNB that they cheated the nationalised bank to the tune of over Rs 13,000 crore with the purported involvement of some of its employees. Meanwhile the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested an executive

Govt seeking Rs 3.6 lakh crore RBI reserve: Cong

ments that did not respect the central bank’s independence would sooner or later incur the wrath of financial markets. Meanwhile the Congress Tuesday said if the government’s reported proposal seeking Rs 3.6 lakh crore from the RBI fructifies, it will tantamount to “the great Indian robbery”, and alleged the amount was being sought to dole out “freebies” ahead of the 2019 parliamentary election. Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari, at a press conference, said such a move would have “profound” implications on the macro-economic stability of India. Alleging that the NDA government was “demolishing” the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Tewari asserted that the Congress would resist all attempts to undermine the economic sovereignty of India and this “adventurism” would not be allowed. “The facts which are emerging in the pub-
lic space, the government wants the RBI to part with Rs 3.6 lakh crore out of Rs 9.59 lakh crore which constitutes the cash reserve of the RBI...,” he alleged. The RBI has been resisting this very strongly, Tewari said, adding the demand by the government was “unprecedented”. “If this were to fructify, this would tantamount to the great Indian robbery,” the former Union minister said. “So, in order to bridge that fiscal deficit, the government has started eyeing the money which is lying with the RBI. And what is even more disturbing is that they perhaps want to use the money in order to give out freebies before the 2019 elections,” he said. Tewari said the government must learn from Argentina where the transfer of USD 6.6 billion from the central bank to the treasury sparked off the worst constitutional crisis. Argentina is before the IMF for a USD 50-billion bailout, he said.

Delhi air quality in ‘very poor’ category
New Delhi, Nov 6 (PTI): A day ahead of Diwali, Delhi’s air quality was recorded in the “very poor” category as winds continued to blow from regions where there is rampant stubble burning even as pollution watchdog CPCB recommended a ban on entry of heavy vehicles into the city from November 8-10. Twenty-five areas in Delhi recorded “very poor” quality air, while eight areas recorded “poor” air quality. Experts have warned of severe spike in pollution levels after Diwali even if “partial toxic crackers” are burnt compared to last year. Citizens gathered outside the Environment Ministry Tuesday to protest against the alarming rise in the pollution level that has raised health concerns. To address the air pollution situation, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) said it was mulling inducing artificial rain over the city after Diwali to wash away hazardous pollutants plaguing the national capital. And for this, the pollution monitoring body is in talks with the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, and the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Delhi recorded its worst air quality of the season Monday, when pollution levels reached eight times the permissable limit while a thick haze had engulfed the city. Doctors have said the impact of air pollution on public health can be compared to smoking 15-20 cigarettes a day. The overall Air Qual-

On Monday, the AQI was recorded at 434 which falls in the “severe” category and was the highest of the season. 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”.

The total sale of the products brought by women from 26 states touched a record high this year at over Rs 2.75 crore, up from last year’s Rs 1.84 crore. The festival, organised at the sprawling lawns of the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts off Janpath registered a footfall of nearly 12 lakh people between October 26 and November 4, the statement said. “The response has been overwhelming,” said Anamika, a Mumbai entrepreneur, whose stall had bamboo toothbrushes and steel straws.

Pune, Nov 6 (AGENCIES): A special court on November 6 directed activists Sudha Bharadwaj, Arun Ferreira and Vernon Gonsalves to be remanded to a 14-day judicial custody for alleged Maoist links and their roles in the controversial Elgaar Parishad, and the subsequent BhimaKoregaon clashes. All three activists were produced at the Pune sessions court after their police custody ended on November 6. In court, Ferreira alleged that he had been physically assaulted during his custodial interrogation by Assistant Commissioner of Police Shivaji Pawar, the investigating officer in the Bhima-Koregaon case. He alleged that he was slapped several times by the IO during interrogation on November 4. Ferreira’s counsel said that the beatings had resulted in swelling below his eyes which had resulted in the activist being admitted to the Sassoon General Hospital for treatment the

New Delhi, Nov 6 (PTI): Congress president Rahul Gandhi Tuesday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over a media report which claimed the government is seeking Rs 3.6 lakh crore from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), alleging that he needs the amount to fix the “mess his genius economic theories” have created. Gandhi also urged Reserve Bank Governor Urjit Patel to “stand up” to the prime minister and “protect the nation”. There was no immediate reaction on the charge made by Gandhi. “Rs 36,00,00,00,00,000. That’s how much the PM needs from the RBI to fix the mess his genius economic theories have created. Stand up to him Mr Patel. Protect the nation,” he tweeted and also posted the media report. The report claimed that at the heart of the RBIgovernment standoff was a proposal by the Finance Ministry seeking to transfer a surplus of Rs 3.6 lakh crore, more than a third of the total Rs 9.59 lakh crore reserves of the central bank, to the government. While Gandhi has accused the government of “destroying” institutions with its alleged strong arm tactics, the differences between the Modi government and the RBI came out in public domain after a deputy governor raised concerns about the central bank’s autonomy and warned that the govern-

May no closer to deal to leave EU
LONDON/BELFAST, NOV 6 (AGENCIES): Britain would vote to stay in the European Union if there was another referendum, a poll showed, as uncertainty over whether Prime Minister Theresa May would be able to clinch a deal on the terms of departure roiled sterling on Tuesday, reports Reuters. With just five months to go until the United Kingdom is due to leave the EU on March 29, voters would now back remaining by 54 percent to 46 percent, the largest independent survey carried out since the Brexit vote found. May has repeatedly ruled out a referendum rerun, saying her job is to deliver the 2016 vote to leave the bloc, even as her plan has drawn critics from both sides of the Brexit divide. She must unite her government, party and domestic allies around a plan for Brexit that is also acceptable to the EU, and is so far yet to finalize a deal, with her spokesman saying more time was needed to sort the issue of the Irish border. Sterling fell after a senior member of the Northern Irish party which props

up May’s government said the United Kingdom looked likely to leave the EU without a deal. “Looks like we’re heading for no deal,” Jeffrey Donaldson, one of 10 Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) lawmakers whose support May needs to get any deal passed in the British parliament, said on Twitter. But the pound rallied strongly after a BBC reporter asked Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab after a cabinet meeting if it was thumbs up or thumbs down and he replied: “Thumbs up.” The pound was up 0.3
percent against the dollar and Raab’s comment sent the euro to a five-month low against the pound. A major outstanding issue in the negotiations is to resolve the stand-off over an emergency fix for the Irish border. Raab had reportedly demanded the right to pull Britain out of the so-called “backstop” after three months, but Ireland said it would not consider proposals which would allow Britain to unilaterally walk away from it. Britain and the EU both wish to keep the border between EU-member Ireland and Northern Ire-
94-yr-old ex-Nazi camp guard goes on trial

MUENSTER (GERMANY), NOV 6 (AGENCIES): A 94-year-old German appeared in court in a wheelchair on Tuesday accused of assisting in the murder of hundreds of people at a Nazi concentration camp during World War Two, in what is likely to be one of the last such trials, reports Reuters.

reasons, has denied the accusations. He spoke with a hoarse-sounding voice when answering questions about his identity. The man is accused of knowing about killings between 1942 and 1944, when he served in the Stutthof camp, near what is now the Polish city of Gdansk. About 65,000 people, including many Jews, were murdered or died there, according to the museum’s website. The suspect, who
could face up to ten years behind bars if convicted, strained to listen to proceedings and was provided with earphones when he said he could not hear. Chief Prosecutor Andreas Brendel told the court that the suspect, as a guard at Stutthof where people were gassed and killed in many different ways, was accused of taking part in several hundred murders. “People were killed with a shot in the back of the head. People were left to starve, to freeze. There is hardly a method of killing that did not take place in Stutthof,” said Brendel. The suspect looked down when the lethal gas Zyklon B, used in gas chambers, was mentioned. The suspect is being tried in a youth court because he was under 21 at the time of the suspected crimes.
land in the United Kingdom open after Brexit, as it is seen as crucial to the 1998 Good Friday peace accord that ended decades of sectarian bloodshed in Northern Ireland. While final arrangements on the border are due to be agreed as part of later trade talks, a backstop arrangement in case such talks fail is proving tricky. Britain’s desire to leave the customs union is not easily reconciled with preserving the integrity of the EU’s single market. London also wants backstop to be provisional rather than permanent, while the EU resists any suggestion it could expire. May told her cabinet of senior ministers more work was needed on the Irish backstop, and that while the withdrawal agreement was 95 percent complete, Northern Ireland was by far the main issue outstanding. As May bids to rally support for her Brexit deal, where Britain would seek free trade in goods with the EU while accepting some of its regulations, the Survation poll for Channel 4 suggested it was unpopular.
20 border troops killed in Afghanistan KABUL, NOV 6 (AP): Afghan officials say at least 20 Afghan border troops have been killed in a Taliban attack on their base in western Farah province. Abdul Samad Salehi, a provincial council member, says more than 45 border forces were at the base in Posht Koh district; only three of them could reach a nearby village, rest of them are either killed or arrested by the Taliban. At least 20 soldiers were killed and similar number were missing, most probably arrested by Taliban, said a senior army official said, who was not authorised to speak with the media. The late Monday night gun battle lasted for more than two hours before insurgents overran the base and communications were lost, said the official.
Six arrested in France over plan to attack Macron PARIS, NOV 6 (AGENCIES): Six people have been arrested as part of a preliminary investigation into a suspected plan to attack French President Emmanuel Macron, an official close to the probe said. The source said French security services arrested the six on Tuesday on suspicion of undertaking an “imprecise and loosely-formed” plan for “violent action” against the president. French TV channel BFM TV reported that the six were members of the far-right, but that could not be independently confirmed. The arrests were carried out in three separate areas of France: Isere, southeast of Lyon; Moselle, on the border with Germany and Luxembourg; and in Ille-et-Vilaine, in the northwest near the city of Rennes, reports Reuters. It was not immediately clear what the connection between those arrested was or how they were in touch with one another. In an interview published on Sunday, Macron warned of the threat from far-right movements across Europe, saying complacency during the 1930s was what had opened the way for the rise of Hitler in Germany and Mussolini in Italy.
Will help Pakistani Christian woman leave her country: Italy ROME, NOV 6 (AGENCIES): Italy said on Tuesday it will help a Pakistani Christian woman leave her country because her life is in danger following charges of blasphemy against Islam that put her on death row for eight years, reports Reuters. Pakistan’s Supreme Court acquitted Asia Bibi last month but the decision sparked mass protests and her husband, Ashiq Masih, says they could be killed by Islamists. Authorities have indicated they will bar Bibi from traveling abroad. The case has galvanized Christian and human rights groups outraged by the country’s treatment of religious minorities including its tiny Christian population. “I want women and children whose lives are at risk to be able to have a secure future, in our country or in other Western countries, so I will do everything humanly possible to guarantee that (for Bibi),” Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini said. “It is not permissible that in 2018 someone can risk losing their life for a ...

tection for Christians in countries where they are a minority. Bibi was convicted of blasphemy in 2010 after neighbors said she made derogatory remarks about Islam when they objected to her drinking water from their glass because she was not Muslim. She is a Protestant and denies committing blasphemy. 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 Bibi and calling Prime Minister Imran Khan and the army chief enemies of Islam. The TLP called off the protests after striking a deal with the government that could bar Bibi from leaving the country and open a review of the verdict. Bibi’s lawyer Saiful Mulook, fled to the Netherlands because of fears for the safety of his family.

S H A N G H A I , N OV 6 (IANS): Chinese tycoon and Alibaba co-founder Jack Ma said that he really hated the ongoing trade war between Washington and Beijing and called it the “most stupid thing in this world”. “(The) Trade war is the most stupid thing in this world,” Ma said on Monday at the China International Import Expo here. It’s the latest and perhaps bluntest barb about the trade conflict from the co-founder and executive chairman of Alibaba, China’s biggest internet company, reports CNN. I n S e p t e m b e r, h e blamed it for derailing his highly ambitious promise to create 1 million new US jobs. The US and China have slapped heavy new tariffs on huge swathes of each other’s exports this year. The US government accuses China of stealing American intellectual property and forcing US firms to handover valuable tech. But US President Donald Trump has also repeatedly complained about his country’s $375 billion deficit in the trade of goods with China.

Italy is working discreetly on the case with other Western countries, he told an Italian radio station. Earlier, the international Catholic agency Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) quoted Masih as saying in a telephone call: “I appeal to the Italian government to help me and my family leave Pakistan.” “We are extremely worried because our lives are in danger. We don’t even have enough to eat because we can’t go out to buy food,” he told the agency. In the interview with the radio station, Salvini was asked to respond to the husband’s appeal. Bibi’s case has prompted groups such as ACN, which has close ties to the Vatican, to demand pro-

amela Anderson sat down for a lengthy interview with Australia’s “60 Minutes� Sunday, offering some controversial comments about the #MeToo movement and the negative impact she perceives it having on men. The former “Baywatch� star derided the current wave of feminism and called it a “bore.� “I think this feminism can go too far,� Anderson told journalist Liam Bartlett. “I’m a feminist, but I think that this third wave of feminism is a bore.� She continued: “I think it paralyzes men, I think this #MeToo movement is a bit too much for me. I’m sorry, I’ll probably get killed for saying that.� Stars who have criticized the #MeToo movement in the past haven’t fared well. “The Big Bang Theory� star Mayim Bialik apologized after being accused of victim-blaming when she spoke about the movement, and French actress Catherine Deneuve caught serious backlash
for similar comments made about its effect on men. Anderson, however, was undeterred by the possibility of being labeled anti#MeToo and doubled down on her controversial comments, going as far as to suggest that those who encountered the likes of Harvey Weinstein boiled down to a lack of common sense. “My mother taught me don’t go to a hotel with a stranger. If someone opens the door in a bathrobe and it’s supposed to be a business meeting, maybe I should go with somebody else,â€? the 51-year-old says. “I think some things are just common sense. Or, if you go in‌ get the job. I’m Canadian, I’m going to speak my mind. I’m sorry, I’m not politically correct.â€? The animal rights advocate also discussed her image as a sex symbol and noted that it opened doors to her activism. “I’d rather be a sex symbol than a‌ not a sex symbol. That’s a compliment, isn’t it?â€? she said. “Every girl wants to be sexy. Every girl wants to be, you know, as beautiful or pretty as they can be. I never thought of myself as beautiful. I always thought of myself as kinda cute, a little funny and maybe I’ve improved with age.â€? (FoxNews)

Pep Guardiola
Lo n d o n, N ov 6 (Agencies): Pep Guardiola says Manchester City will “have to live” with accusations that the club’s success has been built on spending alone. City have been forced to defend themselves after German magazine Der Spiegel published a story claiming the club breached Financial Fair Play rules by channelling millions of pounds of their owner Sheikh Mansour’s money into the club via Abu Dhabibased sponsors. The report also claims the Premier League champions struck a secret deal with UEFA in 2014 to avoid a potential Champions League ban for breaching FFP regulations. Guardiola says he trusts the club is being run fairly and professionally and believes City will always have critics unhappy with their level of spending. When asked if his team’s success could be potentially undermined by the recent allegations, Guardiola said, “I think that has been said for the last decade. People are saying that the

India beat WI by 71 runs; clinch T20 series ISL: Chennaiyin grab first win
Indian players celebrate the dismissal of a West Indies batsman during the 2nd T20I cricket match at Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee International Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Tuesday. (PTI)
L u c kn o w, N o v 6 (PTI): Skipper Rohit Sharma’s record-breaking fourth T20 International hundred powered India to a comprehensive 71run win over West Indies in what turned out to be another one-sided series victory for the hosts. India, thus, took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match T20 series. The last T20 will be played in Chennai on November 11. The legend of Rohit
in white ball format continued to grow exponentially as his unbeaten 111 off 61 balls helped India score 195 for 2 after being put into bat. Rohit, who also surpassed regular skipper Virat Kohli to become top run-getter among Indians in shortest format, was at his brutal best, hitting eight boundaries and seven towering sixes. In reply, West Indies batting caved in once again as they managed only 121
for 9 at the end of the stipulated overs. Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2/12), Jasprit Bumrah (2/20), Khaleel Ahmed (2/30) and Kuldeep Yadav (2/32) equally shared the spoils. Earlier, Rohit and Shikhar Dhawan (43 off 41) made 123 runs off 84 balls for the opening wicket. Dhawan, however, was lucky as Keemo Paul dropped a straight forward catch at deep mid-wicket in

the ninth over off captain Carlos Braithwaite. Dhawan’s luck finally ran out in the 14th over when he was caught by Nicholas Pooran at the long leg boundary off Fabian Allen as the batsman went for a slog sweep. Rishabh Pant failed for the second consecutive time, holing out to Shimron Hetmyer at midwicket boundary off left-arm spiner Khary Pierre. Rohit and KL Rahul then shared quickfire 62
runs for the third wicket off just 28 balls to take India close to the 200-run mark. Needing a win to stay alive in the three-match series, West Indies got off to the worst possible start, losing two wickets, Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer early on with young leftarm pacer Khaleel Ahmed accounting for both the batsmen. Introduced into the attack in the eight over, chinaman Kuldeep Yadav continued with his magic and struck twice. Kuldeep first induced an edge of Darren Bravo with Rohit taking a sharp catch in the lone slip and then Nicholas Pooran failed to read a wrong-un a ball later to be bowled as West Indies slumped to 52 for four in eight overs. I t bec a m e ba d to worse for the visitors when Kieran Pollard was caught off his own bowling by Jasprit Bumrah. From there on, it was just a matter of time before India wrapped up the game and they did it in style. Brief Scores India 195/2 in 20 overs (Rohit Sharma 111 n.o, Shikhar Dhawan 43) beat West Indies 121/9 in 20 overs (Darren Bravo 23, Jasprit Bumrah 2/20) by 71 runs

Pune, Nov 6 (Agencies): Defending champions Chennaiyin FC tasted victory for the first time this season with a 4-2 victory against FC Pune City on Tuesday. A tentative start by the defending champions was punished by Pune City less than ten minutes into the match. A cross-field diagonal ball by Robin Singh allowed Kuruniyan to race past Inigo Calderon on the left flank and beat Karanjit Singh from a tight angle inside the box. Chennaiyin came out of their blocks quickly after the restart and scored the equaliser in the 53rd minute. Martin Diaz fouled Anirudh Thapa outside the box and the young midfielder picked
out Mailson Alves at the far post from the resulting freekick. The skipper’s looping header hit the back of the net, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance. Two minutes later, the scorer turned provider as Mailson’s long ball found Nelson on the right flank who ran in behind Lalchhuanmawia Fanai before chipping the ball over an onrushing Kamaljit Singh. Chennaiyin doubled their lead in the 69th minute from Thapa’s cornerkick. Pune’s defence failed to tackle the delivery from the corner and Raphael Augusto managed to push the ball into the path of Calderon who tapped the ball into the net. The fourth goal came
three minutes later when Jeje shot, whic h wa s blocked by the goalkeeper, fell perfectly for Thoi who made no mistake from handshaking distance. Pune grabbed a consolation goal in the 90th minute when Jonathan Vila rose the highest at the near post to head in Marcelinho’s well-taken corner kick. Marcelinho, however, jumped into a dangerous tackle to steal the ball off Germanpreet Singh with just seconds left on the clock and the forward was punished with a straight red card. Pune are now at the bottom of the league ladder with just two points while Chennaiyin moved up to the eighth spot with four points.
