Ayodhya case enters final lap in SC Section 144 CrPC clamped in Ayodhya till Dec10 NEW DELHI, OCT 14 (AGENCIES): Prohibitory orders under section 144 have been clamped in Ayodhya as the Supreme Court’s revised deadline for wrapping up the proceedings in the sensitive Ram Janmbhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute case approaches. The prohibitory orders will continue till December 10, officials said. Posting the order on his official Twitter account, District Magistrate Anuj Kumar Jha said,”The order has been issued considering safety and security of Ayodhya and those visiting here as Govt’s paramount concerns.” The Supreme Court Monday directed the Uttar Pradesh government to provide security “forthwith” to the UP Sunni Central Board of Wakf Chairperson Zafar Ahmed Farooqui as he apprehended threat to his life. A 5-judge Constitu-
Noklak dist issue: NVC reacts to CPRO objection DIMAPUR, OCT 14 (NPN): Drawing attention to Chingmei Range Public Organization (CPRO)’s objection to the inclusion of Chingmei range in Noklak district, the Noklak Village Council (NVC) Monday asserted that the demand for according district status to Noklak was “never intended” to marginalize any section of people of the erstwhile Noklak subdivision, but to uplift social and economic condition of the people through development. In a press release, NVC chairman Panpan and Noklak village head GB Khusoh stated that turning the good intention of the leaders into “endless tussle” leading to enmity among the fellow brothers and sisters was “unfortunate and unbecoming”. On the “practical difficulties” raised by CRPO such as job opportunities and distance due to headquarters being located at Noklak, NVC said it would be “sign of amnesia” to forget the privileges and opportunities enjoyed by Chingmei range people since the inception of Noklak sub-division.
tion bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi took note of the communication addressed to it by a member of the mediation committee that Farooqui has informed him about the threat to his life. “We direct the Uttar Pradesh government to provide security forthwith to the chairperson of the Sunni Wakf Board,” said the bench, which also comprised Justices S A Bobde, D Y CHandrachud, Ashojk Bhushan and S A Nazeer. The court order came at the end of the hearing on 38th day in the Ram Janmbhoomi-Babri masjid land dispute case. When the bench was about to conclude the day’s hearing, the CJI said he has received a communication from senior advocate Sriram Panchu, one of the mediators in the Ayodhya case, that Farooqui was facing threat. Questions put only to us, allege Muslim parties: Muslim parties alleged before the Supreme Court Monday that questions are asked only from them and not posed to the Hindu side during the hearings in the politically sensitive
Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri masjid land dispute case at Ayodhya. The comment was made by senior advocate Rajeev Dhavan, appearing for the Muslim parties, before a 5-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi. “Your Lordship didn’t ask question to the other side. All the questions have been asked to us only. Of course, we are answering them,” Dhavan told the bench on the 38th day of the crucial hearing. The submission was vehemently opposed by senior advocate C S Vaidyanathan, representing deity ‘Ram Lalla’, who said: “This is totally unwarranted”. Former Attorney General and senior advocate K Parasaran, also representing the deity, opposed the claim of Dhavan who created flutter in the packed courtroom by making the claim. Dhavan’s remark came when the bench, which also comprises justices S A Bobde, D Y Chandrachud, Ashok Bhushan and S A Nazeer, said that the idea behind erecting iron railing at the disputed site during
the British rule was to separate the inner courtyard from the outer courtyard. By putting up an iron railing, the idea was to separate Hindus and Muslims and it was to appreciate the fact that Hindus were offering prayers in the outer-courtyard where ‘Ram Chabutra’, ‘Sita Rasoi’, ‘Bhandar Grih’ were situated, the court said. The bench also took note of Dhavan’s submissions that the Hinuds only had “prescriptive right” to enter and offer prayer at the site and it does not mean that they had the ownership claim over the disputed property. “As you say they had the right to pray and enter, does it not dilute your right to ownership,” the bench asked, adding in case of “exclusive ownership” over a property, can a third person be allowed entry and prayer right. The protracted hearing in the case entered the crucial final leg Monday as the top court resumed the proceedings after the week-long Dussehra break. The hearings are slated to close Thursday. Dhavan would continue arguments on Tuesday.
NSCN involved in terror-funding activities, says NIA official
Staff Reporter
GUWAHATI, OCT 14 (AGENCIES): National Investigation Agency (NIA) Inspector-General, Alok Mittal, revealed how an NSCN cadre (faction not named) was paid almost Rs 2.15 crore for his involvement in weapons haul in February this year, reports CNN-News18. Bihar Police had recovered Under Barrel Grenade Launchers (UBGL), AK47 assault rifles and live cartridges in Purnia from an SUV. “It was an organised racket. Weapons from Myanmar reached NSCN cadres first and then to Bihar’s organized criminals or arms trafficking gangs who later supplied to Left Wing Extremist (LWE) groups. On interrogation of an NSCN cadre, it was found that funds were transferred through banking channels. Almost Rs 2.15 crore was transferred to the NSCN cadre’s account from ban,” said NIA IG Alok Mittal on Purunia incident while addressing an event in New Delhi. The NIA officer said
DIMAPUR, OCT 14 (NPN): Government of India (GoI) and NSCN (I-M) failed to break the deadlock over the latter’s insistence that solution include a separate Naga national flag and constitution, despite have held two meetings within a week. On Monday, Centre’s representative and Interlocutor to Naga Peace Talks, R.N. Ravi and NSCN/GPRN leaders led by its ato kilonser and chief negotiator, Th. Muivah held the second meeting which was inconclusive. Reliable sources from NSCN (I-M) informed Nagaland Post that both sides could not agree on the two demands. Sources also said both parties were trying to resolve the issues but an agreement eluded them. On October 13, NSCN (I-M) accused Centre of trying to twist and backtrack on their commitments and words so that the hard-earned Framework was nullified on any pretext. Meanwhile, NNPGs source informed that the WC of NNPGs will be holding a formal meeting with the Interlocutor on Tuesday.
State capital Kohima can look forward to traffic decongestion started their service even before proper rules were framed or necessary legislation passed by Nagaland Legislative Assembly. Nagaland Two Wheeler Taxi Association president Chumben B. Yanthan informed this correspondent that the bike riders were aware of the consequences, but clarified that they started the service to earn their livelihood. He also said the association was also well informed and were very particular about the safety of their passengers. An office bearer of All Nagaland Taxi Association (ANTA) pointed out that there were certain rules which the state government was supposed to strictly implement. For instance, he said the transport department needed to enforce certain environmental laws while issuing permits for new vehicles and at the same time bar vehicles more than 15 years to ply. He said there was an
urgent need to streamline the registration of vehicles as some families owned more vehicles than the number of members. He also suggested that vehicles, both commercial and private, should be thoroughly checked on whether they had proper registration and documents. He commented that every citizen has a responsibility towards easing traffic congestion in the town as more private vehicles than commercial vehicles were parked randomly . He said if the zonal vehicles were shifted to new ISBT, 40% of traffic congestion would reduced. On some taxi drivers demanding higher fares than prescribed, on the pretext of traffic jam, the ANTA official maintained that no extra charge could be made by any driver due to traffic jams. In any such event, he said a complainant should bring it to the notice of ANTA office here.

KOHIMA, OCT 14 (NPN): Having had to brave perennial traffic congestion on a regular basis, citizens of the State Capital can now look forward towards some respite as the Inter State Bus Terminus (ISBT) is set to be inaugurated very soon. Once the terminus is made operational, all zonal buses and taxis will be shifted there. Transport, civil aviation, railways & land resources minister P Paiwang Konyak confirmed this to Nagaland Post. Traffic congestion in Kohima has become a regular affair where commuters have to spend considerable amount of time on the road to reach their respective destinations at mornings or late evenings . As per a sample survey conducted by Nagaland Post, more than one thousand vehicles ply on the roads in Kohima town on
NEW DELHI, OCT 14 (AGENCIES): Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s husband Parakala Prabhakar has said that the government is in denial mode about the economic (Cont’d on p-7) slowdown. In a column for The Hindu, Prabhakar has said that while sector after sector is facing a rather challenging situation, the BJP government is yet to “show signs that it has come to grips with what ails the economy”. In a critique of the BJP government, Prabhakar said that there is very little evidence to show that the BJP government has a strategic vision to address the challenges reports Business Today. Explaining the problem with the government’s “After GST, we can’t have ways of handling the crisis, No 2 book or overcharge Prabhakar added that BJP under the excuse of illegal has an “inexplicable reluctaxation.” tance” to develop its “own

daily basis. These include – around 750 local taxis, over 150 two-wheeler taxis, over 100 buses, pink buses, zonal taxis, mini-trucks, departmental buses, school and college buses, government and private vehicles. Shifting of zonal taxis and buses to ISBT was also a suggestion made by the All Nagaland Taxi Association since the past few years. The State transport department is unable to limit the number of permits that
can be issued for commercial vehicles as the Motor Vehicle Act does not specify any such limits. This has also in a way, enabled the department to earn more than Rs 135 crore in 2018-19 even though NST is unable to generate enough revenue, said a departmental official. Following a report in Nagaland Post on August 4 this year, about State cabinet’s approval for introduction of two-wheeler taxi service in Kohima, bike owners

coherent set of ideas about the country’s economy”. He said that while the rejection of the Nehruvian ideas of socialism has always been clear with the BJP, but its own advocacy can at best be “loosely termed as capitalist, free market framework”, which has remained untested in practice. “The party’s economic ideology and its articulation were limited to mainly critiquing the Nehruvian model from
the fringes of the political spectrum,” he mentioned in the column. “The issues that catapulted the party on to the centre stage of the country’s political discourse and then to the seats of power both in the Centre and in various States had little to do with the articulation of an economic road map and its endorsement by the electorate. Nor did the economic direction the country ought
to take figure as a serious point of debate and discussion at any point in the highest platforms of the party,” Prabhakar said. He said that the present leadership of the party was aware that the party was not identified with a distinct economic philosophy and hence, did not offer the party’s economic performance as a claim for re-election. “It instead chose, wisely, a muscular political, nationalist, security platform,” he added. In rather sharp words, Prabhakar said that the BJP’s attack on Nehruvian economic framework is nothing more than a political assault and “can never graduate to an economic critique”. In the column he suggests the BJP leadership to take a leaf out of PV Narasimha Rao-Manmohan Singh’s economic policy.
NEW DELHI, OCT 14 (PTI): BJP president Amit Shah said on Monday that he will make way for a new leader to head the saffron party when its organisational elections are over by the end of this year. Shah, who is also the Union home minister, said a new party president is expected to take charge by December. Speaking to India Today, Shah rejected the notion that he will remain the “super power” running the party from behind the scene. It is widely believed that BJP working president J.P. Nadda will replace Shah. With the BJP generally following the norm of ‘one person one post’, it was expected that Shah will make way for a new leader after being inducted as a Cabinet minister by PM Narendra Modi in his government.
the accused gang was also involved in selling fake arms licenses and creating fake Nagaland ID proofs for Bihar residents and equipping them with weapons. Speaking about the insurgent outfits in Northeast, including NSCN (I-M) and NSCN (K), the NIA IG said that 50 cases have been registered against the proscribed outfits of which ten cases are related to terror-funding. He further added that extortion activities by militant groups for fund generation continues till date. “Cases have been registered against Northeast militant groups – NSCNIM, NSCN-K, United National Liberation Front of Manipur (UNLF), Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP) for the attack on security forces, targeting political leaders,” Mittal said. He said ten cases are related to terror-funding and the modus operandi for fund generation remains the same. “They carry out extortion activities in an organized manner and also divert government funds
for such activities. In many cases, government servants have also been found involved, and ten of them have been charge-sheeted,” said Alok Mittal. He further said that the Northeast rebel groups have their bases and training camps in other countries from where some of them have been arrested. On the occasion, NIA Director General YC Modi DG also stressed the need of close co-operation between state polices and central agencies in order to effectively curb the menace of terrorism. A presentation on ‘Overview of Investigation in Terror Cases’ was also made by the NIA. The conference has been organised by NIA had detailed discussions on different issues related to terror crime investigation such as terror funding, radicalization and cyber forensics as well as prosecution would be held. The delegates/panellists attending the conference include heads of state ATS/STF and officers of the central agencies.

ZB (N) dismayed over ‘sidelining’
DIMAPUR, OCT 14 (NPN): Zeliangrong Baudi (Nagaland) has expressed dismay over the “complete sidelining” by both NSCN (I-M) at Hebron and Raj Bhavan, Kohima in the recently concluded consultative meetings with all the tribal hohos by both the negotiating partners on Naga peace talk. In a press release, ZB(N) president C.R Zeliang and General Secretary Aluibe Iheilung stated that if any individual or group represented as Zeliang tribe or Zeliangrong in the past, they did not represent the tribe but handpicked by someone outside of the community. If such mistake was repeated, the signatories said the Baudi along with its cognate units -- Zeme Council, Liangmai Council, and Rongmai Council, which were mandated by the people, would not remain silent. They said sidelining Baudi was “nothing more than a great insult” to a particular tribe when the Nagas were moving together toward an honourable solution. “It is therefore to avoid leaving out the Zeliangrong Baudi, a mandated apex body of the community in dealing with Naga issue, corrigendum be carried out by the concern authorities for future notifications,” ZB(N) demanded.

CAB will dilute indigenous population in NE: NEIDP Correspondent
IMPHAL, Oct 14: The Northeast Development Party (NEIDP) has Monday reaffirmed its stand against Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016 (CAB) and stated that CAB will speed up ‘population dilution’ of the indigenous people in north east. “Not only diluting the indigenous population of the region, CAB is anti-secular as it seek to grant citizenship based on religion. It is against the secularism structure of country’s Constitution,” said Ng Bijoy, president, NEIDP Manipur unit.

populace in Bangladesh. Once the Parliament clear the Bill and enact as an Act, these non-Muslim people will migrate to the region which will have a great impact to the demography of the indigenous population of the NE region, he stated. The migrants entering the region will be assimilated among the indigenous populace of the region which will greatly impact the identity, culture, language, customs and socio-economic of the smaller indigenous communities, said Bijoy. Considering the future impact on the indigenous people of the region, NEIDP has been strongly opposing the CAB and will continue to oppose against the Bill, he declared.

The opposition CPI-M in a statement said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government hatched a conspiracy against former PWD minister and senior party leader Badal Choudhury and accordingly registered an FIR with the police on Sunday. “To divert the attention of the people from the huge misgovernance of the BJP-led government, massive non-performance of the state government, failure to fulfill the electoral promise and as part of it’s political vendetta, the (state) government hatched the conspiracies against the previous Left Front government and former minister,” the statement said.

GUWAHATI, Oct 14 (Agencies): The Centre has begun a process for the repatriation of displaced Brus (Reangs) but most refugees are unlikely to go back to their native Mizoram. The process of repatriation began on October 3 and so far, only 68 families have returned to Mizoram. The deadline of repatriation will expire on November 30. Over 32,000 Brus are lodged in seven relief camps in Tripura and the “final agreement” pertaining to their repatriation was signed last year by the Centre, Mizoram government and Bru leaders. During a process of identification carried out at the relief camps in 2016, altogether 5,407 Bru families were listed. However, another identification process conducted this year found the existence of 4,447 displaced families. “Altogether 68 families have returned to Mizoram after transport was arranged by Mizoram government. Four to five more families will go back today (Monday),” Laldingliana, president of the Mizoram Bru Displaced People’s Coordination Committee was quoted as saying by The
New Indian Express. He said the refugees were divided on the issue of repatriation – some families want to return to Mizoram but others are not willing; they first want the fulfillment of their demands prior to repatriation. “Some families are demanding that the inmates at the relief camps be counted based on the 2016 identification process, their relocation in a cluster of villages in Mizoram for security reasons, the creation of an autonomous council for the community in Mizoram etc. They said they will go back only if the demands are fulfilled. However, the Mizoram government is in no mood to accede to the demands,” Laldingliana said. As a part of the repatriation process, each refugee family will get Rs.1.6 lakh as assistance for constructing a house, a plot and Rs.4 lakh which will be deposited in the bank for three years. The amount will mature only after three years of uninterrupted stay in Mizoram. Following clashes with the Mizos, over 40,000 Brus had fled to Tripura in 1998. A few thousand of them

15 injured in cooking Rahul calls Modi ‘loudspeaker’ of rich bizmen 13 dead, gas cylinder blast in UP Attacks Khattar in first Haryana poll rally
NUH (HRY), OCT 14 (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday of being a “loudspeaker for Adani and Ambani” and alleged that he only talked about big businessmen and had taken out money from the pockets of the poor to give away to his “rich friends”. Addressing his first rally here for the October 21 Haryana Assembly polls, Gandhi also attacked Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, alleging that both he and Modi did not talk about the poor and only thought about the welfare of “rich” businessmen. He also hit out at the media, saying, “They will show the worshipping of the Rafale (fighter jet), but would not talk about the theft in it.” “Narendra Modi is the loudspeaker of Ambani and Adani as he only talks about them all day. “Modi and Khattar are taking away your money and giving it to their 15 rich friends,” Gandhi alleged. “You call yourselves nationalists, why are you giving away India’s capital to your rich friends? Why are they selling PSUs to their rich friends?,” he asked.
Rahul Gandhi speaks during a campaign rally ahead of Haryana Assembly polls, in Nuh district of Haryana. (PTI)
“Modi’s work is to divert your attention from the real issues, so you do not ask any questions of them,” he said. Accusing Modi of waiving Rs 5.50 lakh crore of 15 rich businessmen, Gandhi alleged that the media did not highlight the real issues. “There is so much unemployment and they talk of Bollywood, the moon. They will show the worshipping of the Rafale (fighter jet) but will not talk about the theft in it.... There is shooting in Jim Corbett (National Park) but Modi will not say anything about what farmers want,” he said, training his guns on the media.
Gandhi also targeted the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), accusing them of dividing the country and its people on the basis of caste, religion and region like the British, and said the Congress united people. “The Congress is the party for everyone and our job is to unite people, while the BJP-RSS, like the British, divide the country and its people and make them fight each other. Wherever they go, they make people fight on the basis of caste, religion, region,” he said. Gandhi also accused
the prime minister of taking poor people’s money and giving it to rich businessmen. Hitting out at Modi and Khattar, he said, “When you listen to Modiji and Khattarji’s speeches these days, you get to hear false promises one after another.” While the prime minister talked about his “mann ki baat”, he would instead talk of “kaam Ki baat”, the Congress leader said as he sought public support for his party to regain power in Haryana. The Congress is seeking to oust the BJP government in Haryana in the October 21 polls. Gandhi claimed that whatever promises he had made so far, he had fulfilled like those in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, besides Karnataka. “Whatever we say from the stage, we do that. I promise that the Gurgaon-Alwar railway line will be a reality, the Nuh engineering college will be made a university. The expansion of the local lake and the Mewat canal will be done once a Congress government is formed in Haryana,” he said. Lamenting that the country’s economy was
shattered under the Modi government, Gandhi said to jump-start the economy, money was needed to be put in the pockets of the poor and farmers and the Congress’s “Nyay” scheme, proposed during the Lok Sabha polls held in April-May, was a step in this direction. “You will see Modi only with (US President Donald) Trump and (industrialist) Ambani, but you will never see him with farmers,” he said. Gandhi warned of a serious economic situation in the country in the coming days as Modi, he alleged, was giving away all the money taken from the poor to rich businessmen, who were fleeing abroad with it. “The economy is destroyed. You ask the small and medium traders and they will say that they have been destroyed,” he said, adding that the Goods and Services Tax (GST), which he dubbed as the “Gabbar Singh Tax”, had demolished businesses. Gandhi said post demonetisation, it was only the poor who were standing in the queues in front of banks, while big businessmen like the Ambanis were not.
Ayodhya: Questions asked only to us, not to Hindu: Muslim parties
NEW DELHI, OCT 14 (PTI): Muslim parties alleged before the Supreme Court on Monday that questions are asked only from them and not posed to the Hindu side in the politically Ram Janmabhoomi land dispute case at Ayodhya. This comment was made by senior advocate Rajeev Dhavan, appearing for the Muslim parties, before a 5-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi. “Your Lordship didn’t ask question to the other side. All the questions have been asked to us only. Of course, we are answering
ED seeks court’s nod to arrest Chidambaram NEW DELHI, OCT 14 (PTI): A Delhi court Monday reserved order on the Enforcement Directorate’s plea seeking to arrest and interrogate former finance minister P Chidambaram in the INX Media money laundering case. “I will pass orders on the applications tomorrow,” special judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar said. At the outset, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the ED, told special judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar that there is a finding by the Supreme Court that custodial interrogation of Chidambaram is necessary. Money laundering is a separate offence, Mehta said and moved an application for Chidambaram’s arrest and remand. The plea was vehemently opposed by senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for Chidambaram, who said that the CBI has already taken remand and ED has no ground since the offence is same. “ C B I h a s a l r e a dy sought his custody for investigating payment and companies abroad, which the ED wants to probe now,” he said. Sibal urged the court to recall its order by which Tihar authorities were directed to produce Chidambaram before it. Chidambaram is in judicial custody till October 17 in the INX Media corruption case filed by the CBI. The ED had on Friday moved a plea seeking production warrant of the 74-year old senior Congress leader. The probe agency said in its plea that it requires custodial interrogation of Chidambaram in the money laundering case related to INX Media.
them.” Dhavan told the bench on the 38th day of the crucial hearing in the case. The submission was vehemently opposed by senior advocate C S Vaidyanathan, representing deity ‘Ram Lalla’, who said: “This is totally unwarranted”. Dhavan’s remark came when the bench, which also comprises justices S A Bobde, D Y Chandrachud, Ashok Bhushan and S A Nazeer, said that the idea behind erecting iron railing at the disputed site was to separate the inner courtyard from the outer courtyard. By putting up an iron railing, the idea was to sepa-
rate Hindus and Muslims and it was to appreciate the fact that Hindus were offering prayers in the outercourtyard where ‘Ram Chabutra’, ‘Sita Rasoi’, ‘Bhandar Grih’ were situated, the court said. The bench also took note of Dhavan’s submissions that the Hinuds only had “prescriptive right” to enter and offer prayer at the site and it does not mean that they had ownership claim over the disputed property. As you say they had the right to pray and enter, does it not dilute your right to ownership, the bench asked, adding in case of “ex-
clusive ownership” over a property, can a third person be allowed entry and prayer right. The protracted hearing in the case has entered the crucial final leg on Monday as the top court resumed proceedings on the 38th day after the week-long Dussehra break. 14 appeals were filed in apex court against the 2010 Allahabad High Court judgment, delivered in 4 civil suits, that the 2.77-acre land in Ayodhya be partitioned equally among the 3 parties - the Sunni Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lalla.
MAU (UP), OCT 14 (PTI): At least 13 people died and 15 were injured in an explosion caused by a leakage in a cooking gas cylinder at a house here on Monday, officials said. The house in Walidpur area collapsed while two adjoining ones were extensively damaged due to the impact of the explosion which occurred around 7 am, police said. The loud bang shook the neighbourhood, prompting people to rush out of their homes in panic. The blast took place at the house of Chhotu Vishwakarma, who died around ten years ago. His widow and five daughters were staying in the house, the police said. Chhotu’s three daughters -- Mona (20), Mamta (18) and Sanjana (15) -- died while the remaining family members are missing, they said. Prima facie, the blast was triggered by a possible leakage in the cooking gas cylinder, Inspector General (Law and Order) Praveen Kumar said in Lucknow. Due to the intensity of the blast, the roof of the house collapsed. Two adjacent houses were also badly damaged, he said, citing the

initial report by Mau superintendent of police (SP) Anurag Arya. Four family members of Kanhaiya Vishwakarma, whose house stood next to Chhotu’s, also died in the blast, the police said. They said it was not immediately known how the deceased -- Reena, Sarita, Sonam and Simpi -- were related to Kanhaiya. Another neighbour Surendra Vishwakarma and his daughter Nidhi (10) also died in the explosion, the police said. Four passers-by -- Imtiyaz (25), Zeehsan (15) and Yasir (13) and Shivam -- also died in the blast, they said. The injured are undergoing treatment at district
hospitals in Mau and adjoining Azamgarh, they added. I m m e d i a t e ly a f t e r getting news about the blast, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath directed the Mau district magistrate and SP to rush all help to the injured, Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Awanish Awasthi said. Adityanath also expressed his condolences to the family of the deceased, he said. Speaking to reporters outside the Mau district hospital, cabinet minister Anil Rajbhar said, “It is a sad incident. A house has been completely destroyed. The state government is with the aggrieved family. Every possible medical help will be given to the injured.”

Polinomic reality
ndia is in the throes of an economic slowdown and despite the optimisms that it will turnaround, there is uncertainty on how much and how soon that will be. The World Bank slashed its economic growth forecast for India to 6% for the current fiscal from its April projection of 7.5%, citing a broad-based and severe cyclical slowdown. On October 10, Moody’s Investors Service lowered its 2019-20 growth forecast for India to 5.8% from 6.2% earlier, saying the economy was experiencing a pronounced slowdown partly due to long-lasting factors. The rating agency’s projection is the most pessimistic so far. The reduced GDP forecast by Moody’s and other institutions seems to be affecting the foreign investors also. India’s troubled banking and financial sector is definitely making investors jittery”. To add to the gloomy forecast, foreign investors withdrew over Rs 6,200 crore from Indian capital markets in the first two weeks of October, as global recession fears and trade war concerns weighed on sentiments. Foreign investors pulled out a net amount of Rs 4,955.2 crore from the equities and Rs 1,261.9 from the debt segment, taking the total net withdrawal to Rs 6,217.1 crore during October 1-11, as per latest depositories data. Besides, three important contributors to this problem include Demonetisation & stressed banking sector, GST Implementation and problems in Agriculture sector. The public goods are provided by government and the government needs tax revenues to supply them, and these depend upon national income. Then there is employment. A demand for labour exists only when there is a demand for goods. So growth is necessary if employment is to be assured. Food prices, which is a gauge to measure changes in kitchen budgets, grew 5.11 percent in September as against 2.99 percent in August. Inflation rate in cereals and products stood at 1.66 percent in September against 1.3 percent in August while vegetables inflation stood at 15.4 percent in September against 6.90 percent in August. On August 23, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced a slew of measures like eased foreign investment rules, concessions on vehicle purchases and encouraged banks to make loans cheaper to spur growth from a five-year low. To combat the slowdown, she announced a cut in corporate tax rates in September, bringing it down to 22 percent from 30 percent for existing companies, and to 15 percent from 25 percent for new manufacturing companies. With many of the Budget provisions having been rolled back, questions are once again being raised about the government’s economic mismanagement. The cuts amounted to much more than mere tinkering with the numbers, offering much lower rates on the condition that companies give up their other tax exemptions. As always, thanks to a pliant media, the Modi government has been good at getting positive headlines and fending off pressure even if underlying conditions don’t merit the coverage. However, with the slowdown continuing to get worse despite the festive season, headline management is not going to be enough to turn things around. Whether one accepts or not, CPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury has hit the target when he said that the “unprecedented economic crisis” was due to cloak-and-dagger demonetisation, hastily implemented Goods and Services Tax (GST) and crony capitalism of the BJP-led NDA government. Also the handling of the finance portfolio has the imprint of political agenda which also does not auger well.
DailyDevotion The Key to the Missionary’s Work Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…” —Matthew 28:18-19 The key to the missionary’s work is the authority of Jesus Christ, not the needs of the lost. We are inclined to look on our Lord as one who assists us in our endeavors for God. Yet our Lord places Himself as the absolute sovereign and supreme Lord over His disciples. He does not say that the lost will never be saved if we don’t go— He simply says, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations….” He says, “Go on the basis of the revealed truth of My sovereignty, teaching and preaching out of your living experience of Me.” “Then the eleven disciples went…to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them” (Matthew 28:16). If I want to know the universal sovereignty of Christ, I must know Him myself. I must take time to worship the One whose name I bear. Jesus says, “Come to Me…”— that is the place to meet Jesus— “all you who labor and are heavy laden…” (Matthew 11:28)— and how many missionaries are! We completely dismiss these wonderful words of the universal Sovereign of the world, but they are the words of Jesus to His disciples meant for here and now. “Go therefore….” To “go” simply means to live. Acts 1:8 is the description of how to go. Jesus did not say in this verse, “Go into Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria,” but, “… you shall be witnessesto Me in [all these places].” He takes upon Himself the work of sending us. “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you…” (John 15:7)— that is the way to keep going. Where we are placed is then a matter of indifference to us, because God sovereignly engineers our goings. “None of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus…” (Acts 20:24). That is how to keep going until we are gone from this life.

Post-mortem
Arise comrades, the battle is here Naga Flag and Constitution is our Identity I
E
verything has its own name and identity. Every nation has its own Flag and Constitution. We recognize and acknowledge different entities through their distinct culture and identity. What is the Naga identity as a Nation without a Naga Flag and Constitution? A flag is a national symbol. A national flag represents and symbolizes a country. It will be difficult to name a country without its flag and a constitution. Every country has got a specific flag as their national symbol. The Constitution is the fundamental blueprint of a country; it helps the government operate and also protect the rights of the people in the country. It explains their obligations. For Nagas, the people have a unique history with the Naga National Flag and Constitution as our identity and that is the reason why our Naga national movement continues to live on and it is why the Government of India recognized our unique history. Naga National Flag (Zhieralha) and Constitution (Yehzabo) is our identity and also our road to sovereignty. The Naga Flag was first hoisted on 22 March 1956 at Parashen, near Sendenyu village, Rengma Region, Nagaland, when the Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN) was formed. Unless we get our own Identity there is no reason for the Nagas or for any Naga negotiator to accept any kind of economic package. Nothing less than the Naga Flag and Constitution should be accepted by any Naga negotiator or by the common people. We Nagas have our National Flag and Constitution, and if the GOI is sincere and committed to their Framework Agreement in recognition of Naga unique history, they should also recognise the Naga flag and constitution.
Both Nagas and non-Nagas have talked extensively about the Naga integration, and some Nagas presume that a Naga Flag and Constitution without integration is meaningless. However, what would you prefer – Naga integration under the Constitution of India or a Naga Flag and Constitution outside the Indian Constitution? Obviously, its always better to have our own Naga Flag and Constitution with integration outside the Constitution of India – which means having our own national identity. Our Naga flag and constitution is our identity – the symbol of our Naga nationality. Economic packages and Naga integration cannot be our Naga identity. Naga integration without Naga Flag and Constitution: Accepting Naga Integration without Naga Flag and constitution could lead to the Naga national movement dying a natural death. Naga integration without Naga Flag and Constitution would be the same as the present state of Nagaland or like forming a state with same commumity or like the state of Mizoram where all the Mizos live together under one unit under the Constitution of India (their national identity is lost). A temporary Naga physical integration is insignificant without the Naga Flag and Constitution. Accepting Naga integration within the Constitution of India as a Naga political solution will be a suicidal step for the Nagas and a big blunder for the GOI as well. Naga Flag and Constitution without Naga integration: The present artificial political boundary is not a serious problem or threat as Nagas want to live unitedly under one administrative unit. Nagas can always come together when our national identity represented by the Naga
GoI should not commit another political blunder
A
s a concerned Naga citizen I do wish to share my personal opinions with some pertinent questions: How many types of Nagas of Nagaland do actually exist? Who are the real and unreal Nagas? Is it Nagaland Tribal Council? or Is it Central Nagaland tribal Council? or Eastern Nagaland People’s organization? I don’t subscribe to any of them because I am a Naga without Borders. As per the sources collected from different media, I am convinced that, the present Nagaland State is the political nerve center of Naga politics. If solution is to be worked out basing on FA as two entities with separate flag and constitution then the Question, ‘Nagaland state will cease to exist’ does not arise. But, it will be a transformation from Statehood to Nationhood. I am also confident that Naga negotiators are not delaying the solution but trying their best to negotiate for an agreement that will ensure the status of Naga Flag andConstitution. At this juncture, since GoI is not ready to accept Naga Flag and Naga Constitution/Yezhabo, the Naga negotiators want to specifically mention in the Agreement that ‘Naga Flag and Naga Constitution’ shall be peacefully resolved after solution; because solution without such kind of formal guarantee will be another Naga political betrayal. It is also very necessary to have witnesses to the Final Agreement from neutral countries. IMAGINE: If Talk fails and Cease-fire breaks, then Naga political struggle will restart with rapes, coups, torture, slaughtering, burning of houses etc. of Naga resistant forces with sophisticated imported AK-203, bombardment with dassault rafale multirole jets, Brahmos Missiles, T-90 tanks from Russia, France and Israel. This battle will compel the Nagas to accept communism. But today Nagas are safe and protected under our Naga Chief Negotiator and promising Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi. Mr. Narendra Modi is the most admired and closely watched democratic world leader, and he is adored by the world as a man of great democratic principle. He
Flag and Constitution is duly recognized by GOI. The reason why GOI is always apprehensive of bringing the Nagas under one administrative unit is because that could unite the Nagas and pave the way for Naga sovereignty one day. Which is why GOI always strives to divide the Naga using various means and will continue to mislead and break up the unity of the Nagas so as to weaken and smother the Naga National Movement (NNM), but it is also the responsibility of our Naga people to stand strong regardless of the adverse weather they may encounter. In conclusion, our Naga leaders and the common people should clearly understand and know that no Nation has ever negotiated for its Flag and Constitution after the Peace Settlement, and one needs to understand that it will be unfeasible to negotiate further for our rights to self-determination democratically when our Naga National Flag and Constitution is compromised by the present peace talks. It is also important for the Nagas to remember that it took years to come around to creating a Framework Agreement and to reach the present stage of negotiation because our leaders never compromised on the idea of sovereignty (Naga National Flag and Constitution), otherwise the Indo-Naga strife could have ended within a few years simply by accepting some economic packages or integration of Naga people under the Constitution of India. Our Naga national workers have had peace talks for the last 22 years, and we should be ready to continue to support the peace talks for another 22 years if the present talks could not bring about an honorable Naga Political Solution.

M
n the year 1951, the famous Naga Plebiscite was conducted to express the desire of Nagas and to prove the world that Nagas were and will be an independent nation. It is also said that some members put their thumb impression in blood. History is the witness that Nagas were never a part of India or Myanmar or British or any other nation, nor do we want to be part of any. After India and Myanmar invaded Nagalim, Nagas have gone through the darkest era. Hundreds of villages were burnt (some burnt after rebuilding), thousands of lives taken. If one have to recollect, pregnant women were forced to deliver in full public view, women were raped in church, men were hung upside down with chillies burnt on the ground, men were forced to urinate on bucket filled with water which is connected to live wire in order to electrocute the genitals, men were hung upside down and dipped on water tanks, hands& legs were tied and stuffed into sacks etc. It was a complete reign of terror in the Naga Hills. It is believed that the tortures meted by the Indian security forces upon the Nagas is one of the most inhumane the world have ever witnessed. India and Myanmar forcibly divided the Nagas taking no consideration of the peoples’ wishes or consent. One of the many evidence is, the international boundary runs through a house, the chief of Longwa village dines in Myanmar occupied Nagalim and sleeps in Indian occupied Nagalim. India knowing that Nagas wouldn’t bend their knees, divided us to confuse and distort the history. To execute the plan, Nagaland state was created as to please few Naga people by enticing them with short term benefits. The post and chair that we are enjoying today in the state government is nothing but a gift born out of the struggles and sacrifices given by our forefathers. It should be noted that it is a gift and not a right. One should not
forget that, for the very existence of the movement, the state enjoys all the benefits and attention. In the journey of Naga movement, many sold the rights for their benefits during the Shillong Accord, yet many stood firm, unshaken till date. Today, as the Government of India and National Socialist Council of Nagalim are nearing to seal the final deal, we are witnessing the likes of those people who misled the nation during the Shillong Accord. With so many ideologies and so many factions it is not so easy to identify which is black and which is white. But after the Convener, KitoviZhimomi, Working Committee, Naga National Political Groups, expressed his desire and views in the interview done by Nagaland Post, it is now very clear who is sincerely fighting for the Nation and who is fighting for packages that limits to themselves. Such demands leaving the legitimate right and the identity of the Naga Nation shall not be accepted. It would be a history of mistake to be repeated. I would like to remind them that 99.99% in the Naga plebiscite of 1951 favoured for a sovereign and independent Nagaland (Nagalim) and not to be kept under the Indian Union. In fact, they should be afraid, be very afraid to deny the Naga flag. For the flag was given by God Himself and not by any living man. So, denying the flag is denying God. Both the living and death would curse upon them whosoever agrees for any deal or agreement leaving the flag and constitution. It is time; we rise up from our sleep and slumber no more. It is time; we unite and fight for a better future. Our friends in the past have laid down their lives so that we could have a better life, they didn’t sacrifice their lives for India or Myanmar, they sacrificed their lives for the Nagas. Arise comrades, the battle is here. KUKNALIM! Z N Venuh, Toulazouma Village, (znvenuh89@gmail.com)
Solution: So near yet so far ?
any precious Naga lives have been lost, many sacrificed their lives for the cause of the Naga nation while many also dies at the hands of our own Naga brethren owing to leadership and ideological differences. Such conflicts with factional hegemony at the top of each faction’s agenda would have by now defeated the very cause started and espoused by our early leaders had it not been for the efforts put in by our civil society leaders, political leaders and the general public’s yearning for peace, reconciliation and a final solution. However, with the achievement of this much needed reconciliation, the process of political parleys with the GoI was able to be put into motion, resulting in the inkling of the Framework Agreement (FA) between the NSCN (I-M) and the GoI but sans the other factions. This FA seemed to have been shrouded in secrecy as its contents were not divulged to the public at the beginning and on the other hand giving rooms to the Naga public
to squirm with suspicion (?) but rightly so because it will have direct bearing on their future if any agreement were to be reached without their knowledge and consent. But hopefully, the lid has opened and some contents of the FA have come out into the open now following the ongoing agreement talks. If there are more contents in the FA, shouldn’t it be all made public so as not to create more unnecessary distrust and misgivings ? My knowledge on the Naga political history is too limited and so am incapable of delving into the nitty-gritty matters surrounding the Indo-Naga imbroglio and also of the present political situation. But a clause or only part of it (?) which seems to contain in the FA and highlighted in a daily paper by an eminent and proficient Naga writer which reads “the state of Nagaland will cease to exist...” and replaces by a “Peoples Government of Nagaland” took me off-guard. I wonder if the Nagas of Nagaland would want its dear state to vanish from the face of the earth just by
the nip of a pen? I am not writing this to create division or rift among Nagas of other states and Nagas of Nagaland state but only that solution should not be at the cost of the Nagas of Nagaland losing its state. Let us continue to be good hosts and guests to each other and maintain the existing status quo while official integration of all Naga areas is being awaited. Well, a final solution seems to be on the threshold and we all must pray that the decades-old Indo-Naga problem reaches a mutually acceptable and honourable conclusion. Yet, until and unless, all the stakeholders are taken on board and even if one is left behind, according to my simple and humble layman’s point of view, the anticipated solution will be so near yet so far. Earlier, if one is not mistaken, talks were to be held in a third country, then Delhi and now it has reached our very own state. Let our leaders seize this opportunity and make the best use of it.

was the man behind demonetization to fight against black money. He was the man behind the great India-PLA in a standoff. He was the man behind bombing terrorist camps in Pakistan. Mr. Narendra Modi came back as Prime Minister with a new vision-NARA (National Ambition, Regional Aspirations) for One Nation, One Election. He is the man behind the abrogation of Article 370. He is the man behind all successful Bills passed in the Parliament like, UAPA Amendment, Uniform Civil Code etc. He is the Man behind signing of Framework Agreement on 3rd August 2015 and another agreement on 17th Nov 2017 with the Nagas. I am confident that the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, who is popularly known as ‘a Man of action’, will not break his commitment and betray the Nagas. With the signing of historic framework agreement the common Naga people felt relieved that Disturbed Act and AFSPA would be lifted as a sign of commitment to resolve the issue politically. Suspicion and doubt came into the minds of Naga people, when RN Ravi and Ajit Doval was appointed to look into the matters of Nagas issue, because they, being from law & order background, will try to deal with Naga issue from their perspective, not from political perspective. On the contrary, it was because of Sir, their committed hard work that The Indian government decision to bring Uniform Civil Code (UCC) likely in the coming winter made the Signing of historic Agree- session of parliament is going to be a big blow to article 25 of the constitution for freedom of religious ments possible. practice.

Even if the government contention on UCC political courage to Mr. Narendra is only for the integration of India into oneness the policy behind is to dehumanise some section of Modi to accomplish his promise and people and exterminate the minorities, no common man is opposed to the integrity and unity of India commitment to Naga people. but how can a government impose on the faith and religion of the people with forced law. From my Bechung Konyak, Tobu town, layman perspective UCC is never good for the people of Nagas and we need a serious attention on this issue before anything is too late.

extent. “A state is supporting a criminal and some states have mastered in this act. Pakistan has made terrorism as an instrument of state policy. That has made it a very great challenge (for Indian security agencies),” he said. Doval said war has become increasingly a cost ineffective instrument in achieving political and strategical objectives and nobody can afford it these days because of the cost involved with it. “Not only in the matter of money but in terms of lives that would be lost. But more important thing is you are not sure of victory. In spite of the superiority in terms of resources and technology, the Americans could not achieve their objectives in Vietnam and the Soviets
in Afghanistan. “So increasingly, the reliance on war is on the instrument of covert actions. And in the instrument of covert actions, terrorism is one of the manifestations of covert actions that adversarial powers are using it. It is a low cost sustainable option and it bleeds the enemy much more than probably in the war, and that it can be done for a long period,” he said. He said as the world has become more complex and as strategical and geopolitical relations become complex, a war is no longer an option and that is why the terrorism has increasingly been used. Doval said terrorism in India and many other parts of the world is statesponsored. “When I say it is state sponsored terrorism, they not only provide training, that they provide to recruits, they provide weapons, they provide ideology, they fix targets. More than that, they also give a higher degree of deniability and the resources and technology which the investigating agencies have not been able to get them and their tentacles. The criminal has the support of the state,” he said. The NSA also talked about the approach of the

NEW DELHI, OCT 14 (PTI): The Delhi High Court asked the Centre on Monday to respond to a PIL which has alleged that the Indian Penal Code does not protect transgenders from “unnatural” and other sexual crimes. A bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice C Hari Shankar issued notice to the Ministry of Law and Justice and sought its stand on the plea by a lawyer who has challenged the Constitutional validity of section 377 (unnatural offence) of the IPC. Advocate Jamshed Ansari has contended in his plea that section 377 of the IPC excludes transgenders from its protection as it pertains to unnatural sexual offence committed against a man, woman or animal and has urged the court to declare it as unconstitutional. Alternatively, he has sought that the section be read down to make it constitutional by including transgenders also. The petition, filed through advocate Gaurav Kohli, has contended that “the Indian Penal Code 1860, does not provide any protection to ‘’transgender’’ or third gender when an unnatural offence is committed
against them”. “Similarly, the offences of sexual harassment, voyeurism and stalking as provided under the IPC are attracted where the victims are females, excluding transgender or third gender,” it has said. Besides section 377, the petition has also challenged the Constitutional validity of sections 8 and 10 of the IPC which define the words -- gender, man and woman -- saying their definitions do not include transgenders. Ansari has contended that this position in law is not in conformity with the Supreme Court’’s decision in the NALSA case where the apex court had held that transgenders be treated as a third gender for safeguarding their rights under the Constitution and the laws made by the Parliament and the state legislatures.
“Section 377 of IPC extends only to men, women and animal, excluding transgender or third gender at the same time. There is no mention of a third gender. Such discrimination against an individual on the basis of gender identity is deeply offensive to the dignity and self-worth of the individual which is against the mandate of Article 14, 15, 21 of the Constitution. “... Hence, the transgender/third gender persons are remediless when an offence under section 377 read with sections 8 and 10 of IPC is committed against them,” the petition has said. It has also referred to a news report that a Pune Court granted bail to all the four accused who had allegedly raped a 19-year-old transgender as section 377 of IPC has no mention of a third gender.

RANCHI, OCT 14 (IANS): Two brothers both jewellers - were shot at and injured by five armed miscreants inside their shop at Lalpur area here on Monday, police said. According to the police, the siblings - Rohit and Rahul - were shot by bikeborne assailants when they were inside their shop. “The criminals came in a bid to loot the jewellery and cash at gun point and when the duo resisted, the armed men opened fire on them and fled, leaving both the brothers critically injured”, a police officer said. The victims were admitted to Rajendra Institute of Medical Science (RIMS) for treatment and their condition is said to be critical, the police added. A manhunt has been launched to nab the accused.
judiciary to treat terrorists at par with the cases of ordinary cases. “They (courts) apply the same bench marks and standards. Building up a case, you need eye witnesses. From where do you bring eyewitnesses in terrorism cases. Firstly, there are few eyewitnesses in terrorism cases. It is very very difficult. For an ordinary citizen to depose against a dreaded Jaish-e-Mohammad or Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist,” he said. Doval said the terrorists’ accessibility to high technology makes the collection of evidence against them difficult and complex. Referring to media, the NSA said it is a very important organ to fight terrorism and advocated a transparent media policy to be adopted by security agencies. “Take the media into confidence. Since we don’t tell them many things, probably, they speculate and write. So give them information so that people prepare themselves against terrorism,” he said. The NSA said the perception management is also an important part to fight terrorism and somebody should be trained to handle media and give information on it.

At the ongoing plenary of the FATF, chances are high that Pakistan will be retained on the ‘grey list’ as it has complied with just one of the 40 recommendations set by the global anti-money laundering watchdog at the time of its inclusion in the list. If Pakistan continues with the ‘grey list’, it would be very difficult for the country to get financial aid from the IMF, the World Bank and the European Union, making its financial condition more precarious. Doval said if the investigating agencies could collect correct, sustainable and quotable information, which could be put before the international forums effectively that how Pakistan is supporting and financing terrorism, it would expose the country. “You can do your best to collect these evidence. You all can contribute in your small way,” he said at the event, organised by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

NEW DELHI, OCT 14 (PTI): Pakistan is under a lot of pressure at the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) meeting, currently under way in Paris, to rein in terror groups operating from its soil, National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval said on Monday. Doval, who was addressing a meeting of the chiefs of the Anti Terrorism Squads (ATS), said the biggest pressure on Pakistan comes from the functionaries of the FATF. In the present context, no country can afford to go for a war as the financial and human costs are huge and no one is sure about the victory, he said. “One of the biggest pressure that is coming on Pakistan today is because of the procedure of the FATF, I guess. The FATF has put so much of pressure on them that no other action could have been so,” Doval said. The FATF is an intergovernmental body established in 1989 to combat money laundering, terrorist financing and other related threats to the integrity of the international financial system. Pakistan was placed on the grey list by the Parisbased watchdog in June last year and was given a plan of action to complete

The nation’s largest lender and HDFC’s immediate competitor in the mortgage space SBI had also cut its key rates by 0.10 percent last week. “HDFC has reduced its retail prime lending rate on housing loans, on which its adjustable rate home loans are benchmarked, by 0.10 percent, effective October 15,” a company spokesperson said.

Mumbai, Oct 14 (PTI): The rupee declined by 21 paise to close at a threeweek low of 71.23 against the US currency on Monday as investors rushed to safe haven bets on fading hopes of an initial trade deal between the US and China. Weak Chinese trade data also weighed on the domestic currency, analysts said. At the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened higher at 70.83 and touched an intraday high of 70.74 against the American currency. However, later the local unit pared initial gains and finally settled at 71.23 against the US dollar, down 21 paise over its previous close. On Friday, the domestic unit had closed at 71.02 against the US dollar. “Indian rupee opened higher but gave up all the gains and turned negative as the session progressed. Besides strength in the dollar index, foreign fund outflows also weighed on the Indian rupee,” said V K Sharma, Head - PCG & Capital Market Strategy, HDFC securities.

arriving at its bi-monthly monetary policy. India Ratings and Research (Fitch Group) Principal Economist Sunil Sinha said the central bank will continue with its accommodative policy stance and may go for further rate cut in the policy review of December 2019. H o w e v e r, E m k a y Wealth Management Head Research Joseph Thomas said the persistence of prices at higher levels beyond the ameliorating influence of the rains may alone would invite a policy shift by the
RBI to neutrality. Principal Economist with ICRA Aditi Nayar said while food inflation did record a broad-based increase in September 2019, the primary driver of the uptick was vegetables, a fallout of the flooding in various states. As vegetable prices normalise over the next two months, particularly with the seasonal arrival of winter supplies, food inflation may recede below 4 per cent by the end of this quarter, she said. “While the decline in the core inflation provides some comfort, the unexpectedly sharp jump in the September 2019 CPI inflation has pushed up the likelihood of a pause in the next Monetary Policy Committee (of RBI) review, unless the headline retail inflation recedes sharply in the ongoing month,” Nayar said. The Wholesale Price Index (WPI) released earlier in the day revealed that the inflation eased to more than three-year low of 0.33 per cent in September mainly due to falling prices of fuel and certain food articles, according to official data. The WPI-based inflation was 1.08 per cent in August this year and 5.22 per cent in September 2018.

New Delhi, Oct 14 (PTI): Retail inf lation climbed to a 14-month high of 3.99 per cent in September due to costlier vegetables and pulses but still remained within the RBI’s comfort zone, government data showed on Monday. The Consumer Price Index-based inflation stood at 3.28 per cent in August and 3.70 per cent in the September 2018. The previous high was 4.17 per cent in July 2018. However, the wholesale inflation in September slipped to an over three-year low of 0.33 per cent. The CPI data released by the National Statistical Office (NSO) showed that the rate of price rise in the food basket in September 2019 was 5.11 per cent as against 2.99 per cent in the preceding month. The inflation print for vegetables shot up to 15.40 per cent during the month from 6.9 per cent. Besides, price rise in pulses and meat and fish baskets for the reported month was higher over August. However, there was a decline in inflation in the fuel and light segment.

Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo
STOCKHOLM/NEW DELHI, OCT 14 (PTI): Indian-American Abhijit Banerjee, who won the 2019 Nobel Prize for Economics jointly with his wife Esther Duflo and another economist Michael Kremer, is currently the Ford Foundation International Professor of Economics at the US-based Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Banerjee, born in 1961 in Mumbai, bagged the award for his “experimental approach to alleviating global poverty”. The 58-year-old economist received his PhD in 1988 from Harvard University. He also studied at the University of Calcutta and Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru University. In 2003, he founded the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL), along with his French-American wife Duflo, who is also a MIT professor, and Sendhil Mullainathan.. He remains one of the lab’s directors, according to the MIT website.
Banerjee is a past president of the Bureau for the Research in the Economic Analysis of Development, a Research Associate of the NBER, a CEPR research fellow, International Research Fellow of the Kiel Institute, a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Econometric Society, and has been a Guggenheim Fellow and an Alfred P Sloan Fellow and a winner of the Infosys prize. He is the author of a large number of articles and four books, including Poor Economics, which won the Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year. “Why would a man in Morocco who doesn’t have enough to eat buy a television? Why is it so hard for children in poor areas to learn, even when they attend school? Does having lots of children actually make you poorer? Answering questions like these is critical if we want to have a chance to really make a dent against global poverty,” Banerjee wrote in the book ‘Poor Economics’.
Proud day for JNU as alumnus Abhijit wins Nobel Prize
It was a proud day for Jawaharlal Nehru University as its alumnus Abhijit Banerjee won the Nobel Economics Prize on Monday, with his former professors saying they always knew his immense contributions to the field would be recognised. Indian-American Banerjee, his wife Esther Duflo and Michael Kremer jointly won the 2019 Nobel Economics Prize “for their experimental approach to alleviating global poverty.” Professor Anjan Mukherjee, who taught Banerjee at the Centre For Economic Studies and Planning, said he has sent his former student a congratulatory email. “I have sent him an email. He was a very good student, among the best that we have taught. We always expected that he would go far and he did. “He has been at the forefront for many years. When his book came out in 2008, that is the time when we thought that he would get the Nobel. We were all hoping that he would get it,” he told PTI.
ISLAMABAD, OCT 14 (PTI): Facing the risk of being placed on the FATF black list with Iran and North Korea, a delegation led by Pakistan’s economic affairs minister will present its case before the financial watchdog on the measures taken by Islamabad to curb terror financing and money laundering. Pakistan was placed on the grey list by the Parisbased Financial Action Task Force in June last year and was given a plan of action to complete it by October 2019, or face the risk of being placed on the black list. The Paris-based body is reviewing the progress made by Pakistan until April this year, during the FATF Week, which began on October 13 and will conclude on October 16. The review will determine if Pakistan stays on the grey list or moved on the black list or given a clean chit. Minister for Economic Affairs Division Hammad Azhar, who is heading the Pakistani delegation to present the compliance report before the FATF, arrived in Paris on Sunday to attend a round of meetings, the Dawn News reported on Monday. The FATF Week will focus on “disrupting financial flows linked to crime and terrorism and discuss ways to contribute to global safety and security”. The round of meetings will be attended by representatives from 205 countries as well as jurisdictions around the world, including the International Monetary Fund, United Nations, World Bank and other organisations, the report said. Earlier this month, the Asia Pacific

Group (APG) has said that Pakistan faces high risks of money laundering and terror financing and has complied with just one the 40 recommendations set by the Financial Action Task Force
at the time of the country’s inclusion in its grey list. The APG is a regional body of the FATF, which requires its members to undergo mutual evaluation of the anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism frameworks. In its 228-page ‘Mutual Evaluation Report’ released on October 2, the APG said out of the FATF’s 40 recommendations on curbing money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism, Pakistan was fully compliant only on one. It was largely compliant on nine, partially compliant
on 26 and non-compliant on four recommendations. Pakistan faces high risks of money laundering and terror financing and it needs to improve the understanding of these risks that are also animating from various terrorist groups operating in the country, the report said. Meanwhile, ahead of the FATF’s crucial decision on Pakistan, the US on Saturday said Islamabad must prevent militant groups from operating on its soil and prosecute top Lashkar-eTaiba operatives along with
its leader Hafiz Saeed. Alice Wells, head of the US state department’s South and Central Asian bureau, also welcomed the arrest of the top four leaders of Lashkare-Taiba /Jamaat-ud-Dawah in Pakistan. Pakistan’s law enforcement agencies on Thursday arrested the “top four leaders” of the banned LeT/JuD on charges of terrorism financing. The top four arrested terrorists have been identified as Professor Zafar Iqbal, Yahya Aziz, Muhammad Ashraf and Abdul Salam.

apper Kanye West has confirmed that he has converted to Christianity. The 42-year-old rapper shared the news on Saturday night when he made a surprise appearance at Howard University in Washington D.C. and held a listening party of his new album, “Jesus Is King”, reports “dailymail.co.uk”. During the listening party, in a video obtained by “TMZ”, West confirmed that he is officially a Christian now. The video begins with West discussing a line in a Jay-Z song, where he said, “forced into sports or entertainment”. “Excuse me if I mispronounce anything. I am a recent convert. It means I recently got saved within this year,” he added. West has been holding his Sunday Service worship services since the beginning of this year, though he didn’t confirm his conver-
sion until now. The video from the listening party also featured a section with a saxophone solo. He has been rumoured to be featured on the album. The video also includes a clip from one of his new songs “Closed on Sunday”, which includes the lyric, “Closed on Sunday, just like Chick-Fil-A”, referring to the fast food chicken restaurant being closed for religious reasons. The moment led to huge cheer from the crowd. As for the new album, “Jesus Is King”, West still hasn’t confirmed when it will be released. It was supposed to be released on September 27, but no official date has been announced. However, he has been holding listening parties frequently, hinting that the release date may be sooner. West released his last album “Ye” in 2018. (IANS) Office of the

egendary singer Elton John has called late pop icon Michael Jackson “mentally ill” in his upcoming memoir. In the memoir titled, “Me”, Elton John also described MJ’s company disturbing, reports “dailymail.co.uk”. Elton John developed friendship MJ early on in his career. He has now admitted that over the years, he became concerned about the way in which he started to “sequester himself away from the world”. “I’d known Michael since he was 13 or 14... He was just the most adorable kid you could imagine. But at some point in the intervening years, he started sequestering himself away from the world, and away from reality the way Elvis Presley did,” he writes in the book. The singer continued: “God knows what was going on in his head, and God knows what prescription drugs he was being pumped full of, but every time I saw him in his later years I came away thinking the poor guy had totally lost his marbles. I don’t mean that in the light-hearted way. He was genuinely mentally ill, a disturbing person to be around.” Recalling a time he invited MJ to one of his parties, Elton John claims that the star wandered off and was found playing with his housekeeper’s son, prompting him to deduce: “For whatever reason, he couldn’t seem to cope with adult company at all.” Michael Jackson died in 2009 due to overdose of sedatives administered by his personal physician, Conard Murray. Earlier this year, the star was posthumously accused of child sexual abuse by two men who were friends with him as youngsters in the documentary “Finding Neverland”. (IANS)

the Proteas women failed to register the consolatory win, which at the mid-way mark of the match, seemed probable. Ekta, who was adjudged the Player of the Match, was the pick of the Indian bowlers as she scalped three wickets, giving away just 32 runs from her 10 overs. She was well supported by Deepti and Rajeshwari who picked up two wickets each. Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues, known
for their batting skills, also contributed to India’s winning cause with the ball and chipped in with a wicket each. Earlier, winning the toss and electing to bat, India didn’t have a great start as they lost both the openers in the first two overs. Skipper Mithali Raj did try to steady the ship along with Poonam Raut. However, they both fell quickly after contributing with 11 and 15 respectively.
Harmanpreet kept batting from one end and played a crucial knock of 38 runs. Apart from her, Shikha Pandey contributed 35 valuable runs down the order and helped the team reach near the 150 mark. Brief scores: India Women 146/10 (Harmanpreet Kaur 38, Shikha Pandey 35; Marizanne Kapp 3/20) bt South Africa Women 140/10 (Marizanne Kapp 29, Sune Luus 24; Ekta Bisht 3/32)

MUMBAI, Oct 14 (Agencies): Former captain Sourav Ganguly is set to take charge as the head of India’s cricket board this month, completing his transition from star player to a top administrator. The 47-year-old, who retired from international cricket in 2008, filed his nomination for the president’s post of the Board of Control for Cricket India (BCCI) on Monday for the elections to be held on October 23. Since 2017, the BCCI is being run by administrators appointed by the Supreme Court after its office-bearers failed to implement administrative reforms within the world’s richest national cricket body. The Court-appointed administrators will hand over responsibilities once the board members elect the new office bearers during the October 23 elections. “I’m happy I’ll say because
Sourav Ganguly
it’s a very important time in Indian cricket administration because of all what’s happened in the last three years,” Ganguly told reporters. “To be a position where I can make a difference along with a team would be extremely satisfying. So hopefully in the next few months we can put everything in place and bring back normalcy in Indian cricket.” Cricket is almost a religion in India. Its star players are the highest-profile athletes and enjoy rockstar status in the world’s second most populous country.
Ganguly has the support of most members of the board and could end up as the lone candidate for the president’s post. He would then be elected unopposed. The former left-handed batsman, who played 113 tests and 311 one-day internationals and led India to 21 test wins, has already been an administrator for his home state association. He was part of the BCCI’s technical panel in the past and also part of a three-member Cricket Advisory Committee, alongside Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman. Ganguly said he had never aspired to be BCCI chief but hoped his experience as a former captain would stand him in good stead. “We have lot of things to do, to get the administration in order,” he said. Jay Shah, son of Home Minister Amit Shah, filed his nomination to become BCCI secretary.

M a d r i d, O c t 1 4 (Agencies): Bayern Munich have reportedly joined Real Madrid in the race to clinch the services of Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen. Eriksen has been one of the first names on the team sheet for the past six seasons, but was heavily linked with a move away during the summer transfer window. Real showed more than a passing interest in the Denmark international and it seemed as though he might be on his way to the Bernabeu. However, rumours of discontent behind the scenes in north London will not go away, with Spurs’ performances appearing to suggest that all is not well, and it may be that Eriksen has set his heart on a move. Bayern are looking for midfielders after losing Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery and it may be that Eriksen fits the bill.

Indian eves win ODI series 3-0 vs SA
Vadodara, Oct 14 (IANS): Indian bowlers, particularly the spinners, on Monday came out with a stupendous bowling performance as the Women in Blue defeated South Africa in a low-scoring thriller and clinched the three-match ODI series 3-0. After managing just 146 runs in their first innings, the Indian eves rode on brilliant bowling performances from Ekta Bisht, Deepti Sharma and Rajeshwari Gayakwad to bowl out South Africa women for 140 and win the match by six runs at the Reliance Stadium. Chasing 147, the visitors kept losing wickets at regular intervals and were never allowed to bat freely by the Indian bowlers. Apart from Marizanne Kapp (29), captain Sune Luus (24) and Laura Wolvaardt (23), none of the other batters contributed much and as a result,

Germany keep Euro 2020 qualification on track
Players of Germany and Estonia in action during their Euro 2020 qualifier match.
T A L L I N N, O c t 1 4 (Agencies): Ilkay Gundogan scored two secondhalf goals to help 10-man Germany claim a 3-0 win away to lowly Estonia in Sunday’s Euro 2020 qualifier despite the early dismissal of Emre Can. Ger many won 8-0 when the sides met in Mainz last June, but the visitors got into trouble when Can was sent off after just 14 minutes in Tallinn for a foul as the last man. After a goalless first half, Manchester City midfielder Gundogan struck twice before replacement striker Timo Werner added a third to keep Germany on course to qualify for next year’s finals. The Germans stay second in the table but moved level on 15 points with Group C leaders the Netherlands, who beat Belarus 2-1 in Minsk earlier in the day. Wins next month for Joachim Loew’s side against Belarus in Moenchengladbach and Northern Ireland in Frankfurt will ensure Germany a place at Euro 2020.
Germany were dealt a blow before kick-off when in-form winger Serge Gnabry was pulled from the starting line-up with a leg injury. Can then quickly added to Loew’s woes against the group’s bottom side with the earliest red card ever shown to a Germany international. Playing out of position at centre-back, the Juventus midfielder was sent off for lunging into a tackle, as the last man, on Estonia forward Frank Liivak. Nevertheless, Germany had the best first-half chance when Marco Reus curled his free-kick over the wall but against the woodwork. Gundogan broke the deadlock early in the second half when his shot clipped Reus’s boot and beat the Estonia goalkeeper from 20 metres out. Six minutes later, after an exchange of passes between Reus and winger Julian Brandt, Gundogan’s shot on the edge of the area again took a deflection to make it 2-0. Werner, on for Freiburg
striker Luca Waldschmidt, made it 3-0 on 71 minutes when a Gundogan pass picked out the RB Leipzig striker, who fired home across the goal. Meanwhile, Poland and Russia qualified for the 2020 European Championship. Robert Lewandowski set up both goals for Poland as Chicago Fire midfielder Przemyslaw Frankowski and fellow substitute Arkadiusz Milik scored late in a hard-fought 2-0 win over North Macedonia. Poland is assured of finishing in the top two of Group G, where secondplace Austria boosted its hopes of qualifying with a 1-0 win at Slovenia. Russia earlier routed Cyprus 5-0 to join group winner Belgium in securing a place at next year’s tournament. Valencia forward Denis Cheryshev scored twice and set up two more goals for the Russians - who only needed a draw to be sure of qualification - to take their tally to 21 points after seven wins from eight games in Group I.

ISL to replace I-League as country’s top league New Delhi, Oct 14 (PTI): Indian Super League (ISL) will replace the ILeague as top-tier competition in the country as per a proposal presented by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) on domestic structure reforms in India. The roadmap was formulated in a meeting of the I-League and ISL clubs with the officials of the All India Football Federation (AIFF) and the AFC in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Monday. As per the roadmap, the ISL champions would also be entitled to a play-off place in the AFC Champions League and the ILeague champions would
take a place in the AFC Cup in “a package that takes into consideration the recommendations of FIFA/ AFC report of 2017”. “Everyone has to put the good of Indian football at the forefront and take the best decisions to develop Indian club football. The AFC will be very much involved to ensure the growth of the game to the next level with the pathway to a single league,” AFC General Secretary Dato’ Windsor John said in a statement. “Every point of this package has been thoughtout extremely carefully and it is aimed simply at providing the best chance to develop Indian club football.
We have informed AIFF that 10-12 teams are not enough for the top League – it must be bigger.” “Everyone has contributed to the development of the Indian club game - ISL, I-League clubs, the AIFF and the AFC – and I am sure that if this roadmap is considered further, then Indian football will see the benefits for the game. We are now all work-
ing together to deliver the best future,” he added. The proposal will now be presented to the AFC Executive Committee and the AIFF Executive Committee for approval. As per the proposed roadmap in 2019-20 season, the ISL will attain the status of premier league competition in Indian football. Besides as a special compensation to India, the AFC will allow the winning ISL club to represent India in the AFC Champions League play-offs, and the I-League winner will get to play the AFC Cup playoff. Another key recommendation by the AFC is
to open a pathway for two I-League clubs’ entry into the ISL by the end of the 2020-21 season, subject to the criteria being fulfilled. In addition, starting with the 2022-23 season, the winner of I-League will stand a chance to be promoted to the ISL with no participation fee, basis fulfilling sporting merit and the national club licensing criteria to be set out by the AIFF. There will be no relegation in the ISL at this time. In its recommendation for 2024-25, it is agreed to fully implement promotion and relegation into the top league, and abolition of two parallel leagues.
