Govt slashes GST rates on 27 items

NEW DELHI, OCT 6 (AGENCIES): The GST council on Friday announced major cuts in taxes of various items and announced various measures to support exporters and small businesses, three months after the new taxation system was launched. “It’s almost three months since GST roll out..returns have been filed for first two months as well. So it was a time to deliberate on its effect on various trades and the transition,” Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said in a press briefing after the meeting of GST Council. Sops for exporters: Keeping in view of the liquidity problem being faced by the exporters, the Council has decided to immediately start refund process for the month of July by 10th October while exporters can get refund of August by 18th October. For the remainder of the fiscal, they will operate under an exempted category paying a nominal 0.1 per cent GST. “As a long term solution, an e-wallet will be created for every exporter

where a notional amount will be given in advance... the refund will be offset later against that amount,” Jaitley said. The e-wallet option will be launched by 1st April, Jaitley added. For Small Businesses : Jaitley also revealed that about 72 lakh taxpayers have been migrated to the GST system while 25-26 lakh are new taxpayers under the new taxation system. He said that a majority of them have less than Rs 1 crore of turnover and though their tax input is low, the burden of compliance is too high on them. Hence the GST Council has decided to increase the limit of composition scheme to Rs 1 crore from current Rs 75 lakh for small

businesses. So the small businesses can now file returns on a quarterly basis. This, Jaitley said, has been done to increase compliance. So far, over 15 lakh out of the 90 lakh registered businesses have opted for the composition scheme. The tax rate for traders of goods in the composition scheme is 1 per cent, while it is 2 per cent for manufacturers and 5 per cent for suppliers of food or drinks for human consumption (without alcohol). Service providers cannot opt for the composition scheme. The scheme allows small businesses, including eateries, to pay 1-5 percent tax without having to deal with the three- stage filing process. The scheme

cannot be opted by supplier of services other than restaurant related services; manufacturer of ice cream, pan masala, or tobacco; casual taxable person or a non- resident taxable person; and businesses which supply goods through an e-commerce operator. No input tax credit can be claimed by those opting for composition scheme. Also, the taxpayer can only make intra-state supply (sell in the same state) and cannot undertake inter-state supply of goods. Businesses with annual turnover of up to Rs 1.5 crore, which constitute 90 per cent of the taxpayer base but pay only 5-6 per cent of total tax, have been allowed to file quarterly

KVC objects govt’s move to TAPWO lauds GoI OCT 6 (NPN): take up MCK on PPP mode DIMAPUR, Tizu Area Public Welfare DIMAPUR, OCT 6 (NPN): Kohima Village Council (KVC) has expressed dismay and objection to the state government’s purported move to take up the Medical College Kohima (MCK) on Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode, saying it never agreed to give away their prime lands to the state government to set up medical college on PPP mode. In a representation to the commissioner secretary, health and family welfare (H&FW), the KVC chairman, Dr. Neiphi Kire, and secretary, Zeneizo Rutsa, expressed surprise how the state government could change its mind to go on PPP mode after signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of India (GoI) to upgrade the Naga Hospital Authority Kohima (NHAK) as the Government District Hospital to a Government Medical College. KVC has insisted that

Organisation (TAPWO) has welcomed the bold decision of the Government of India (GoI) for initiating political talks with the Working Committee of six Naga National Political Groups (NNPG’s). In a press note, TAPWO President Vechineyi Khesoh and general secretary Shekhohu Chizo expressed appreciation to GoI under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Interlocutor for Naga talks, R.N. Ravi, with an intention of solve the Naga political problem through peaceful dialogue. Meanwhile, TAPWO also appealed to all the remaining NPGs to come and participate in the political talk, so as to solve the long pending Indo-Naga Political problem in an amicable manner. TAPWO further prayed to Almighty to protect, guide and provide wisdom to the GoI and to all NNPGs in the (Cont’d on p-8) process of talks.

the state government must implement the agreement with government of India in letter and spirit. As per the agreement, KVC said that the Centre has already released some of the funds for establishment of the college, adding that even the first visit of Medical Council of India (MCI) has already taken place. The council maintained that the state government would totally lose the trust of the public and the central government if it kept on “arbitrarily changing” its decision and failed to adhere to the agreement reached. Pointing out that a government medical college with modern amenities was the need for the hour for poor patients and villagers who cannot afford the services of private hospitals, the KVC said in PPP mode, the cost of capital investments spent

income returns and pay tax instead of the current provision of monthly filings. Jaitley said big taxpayers, who contribute 94-95 per cent of the total taxes, will continue to file monthly returns and pay taxes on a monthly basis. Also, a group of ministers has been asked to go into the issue of extending the composition scheme on inter-state sales as well as rationalising taxes on restaurants. The switchover to quarterly tax filing for small and medium businesses would happen from October 1 and they will have to file monthly returns for the first three months of GST, which was implemented from July 1, he said. Revised Rates: Meanwhile, Jaitley said the Council also decided to cut GST rate on 27 common use items. GST on unbranded namkeen, unbranded ayurvedic medicine, sliced dried mango and khakra has been cut to 5 per cent from 12 per cent, while the same on man-made yarn used in textile sector has been reduced to 12 per cent from 18 per cent.

Anti-nuclear campaign wins Nobel Peace Prize

OSLO, OCT 6 (AGENCIES): The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, as the Norwegian Nobel Committee warned that the risk of a nuclear conflict is greater than for a long time. The Nobel Peace Prize, worth nine million Swedish crowns ($1.10 million), will be presented in Oslo on December 10. ICAN describes itself as a coalition of grassroots nongovernment groups in more than 100 nations. It began in Australia and was officially launched in Vienna in 2007. “We live in a world where the risk of nuclear weapons being used is greater than it has been for a long time,” said Berit Reiss-Andersen, the leader of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. In July, 122 nations adopted a UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, but nucleararmed states including the United States, Russia, China, Britain and

TASU serves ultimatum on goverment Jan 31 incident: Probe period extended

DIMAPUR: Tizit Area Students’ Union (TASU) has demanded the state government to begin the construction works along Namtola-Mon road (NH-702) before October 20, 2017, failing which it would resume blockade (which was suspended on April 12, 2017) and the government would be held responsible for any untoward incident. In a press release, TASU president, T Noklem Konyak, and general secretary, Phoanei Konyak, stated that the union at its executive meeting held on October 6, 2017 at its office strongly expressed dismay and anger over the delay of not fulfilling its demand. TASU maintained that it would no more be in a position to accept any verbal or written agreements.

The union reminded that the agitation against the deplorable conditions of NH702, the lifeline of Mon district, was suspended after the commissioner & secretary works and housing gave assurance to start the works by dry season. However, it said that the work has not been started yet. Further, stating that etendering process was over and contractors have been allotted with sanctions for the same, the union wondered why the Inter-State Connectivity (ISC) road, which supposed to construct from Tizit upto Khonsa (Arunachal Pradesh) and RCC T-beam bridges (4nos) on the same road, has not begun. It said that even the chief engineer PWD (NH) has sent a notice dated July 4, 2016 to

the responsible contractor with an amount of Rs. 9.46 crore to begin the work. TASU stated that there has not been a single concrete bridge constructed on the ISC road though a year has passed since noticed was served. Also, the union has asked the government to take up the issue of clearing sites with the counter parts (Assam) and begin construction of “Risk Bridge” (RCC Pongma Bridge), which it said was on the verge of collapse. Asserting that the people of Tizit, despite being neglected, have been sympathetic to the time frame sought by the government, the union, however, said patience of people has reached its limit due to negligence shown by the responsible authority.

NBSE cautions against online games

DIMAPUR: Taking serious note of children falling prey to certain online games, the Nagaland Board of School Education (NBSE) has appealed to teachers, parents and elders to watch out for abnormal behaviour of children that could be attributed to playing certain games like the “Blue Whale Challenge” game. According to an official bulletin, the NBSE in a notification pointed out instances of young children committing suicide across the country, apparently after having played the game. “There have been successful interventions by parents, teachers and friends in preventing some children from taking the extreme step of committing suicide,” the board stated, adding that the dynamics of evils lurking in the virtual world can never be underestimated. Further, NBSE maintained that children’s usage of internet should be monitored so they did not succumb to cyber-bullying, online pred-

ators, identity theft, viruses and malware and other activities damaging one’s reputation. Pointing out that the controllers of destructive online activities exploit children’s gullibility and inquisitiveness, the NBSE has therefore stated that parents, teachers and children should be sensitized on the abuse of modern technology, which could make youngsters draw psychological sustenance from such addictions. Reminding that the Centre has taken measures to ban the “Blue Whale Challenge” game, the board, however, informed all heads of registered institutions to keep a close watch for abnormal and erratic behaviour of children and seek immediate intervention for behavioural or mental problems. Also, report of such incidences in the school said could be made known to the parents and report such incidence on Childline at telephone number 1098 and get necessary assistance.

DIMAPUR: Union Minister of State (MoS) for tribal affairs, Sudershan Bhagat, has stated that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was neither anti-Christian nor anti-Naga saying there was no truth in such criticisms and that all these were “malicious politically fuelled propaganda charges�. According to a press release by BJP Nagaland, general secretary (media), Jaangsillung Gonmei, the MoS, who was on a threeday visit to Nagaland, was addressing BJP party workers on October 5 at BJP state party office, Kohima. Sudershan said, “BJP is very much a truly secular party and respects every religion, castes and tribes to bring about a harmonious cohesive society to build a strong nation.� He insisted that BJP-led NDA government has left no stone un-

turned to address any genuine instances of religious and social atrocities anywhere in the country. Asserting that such political propagandas concerning religions and castes only cause a disharmonious society and derail peace and progress, he said it should avoided and focus should be on building the cities villages and towns for a better society for all citizens irrespective of religions, castes or tribes. Sudershan reminded the gathering that Naga political issue had been under “active dialogue for lasting peace� under BJP government at the centre led by the then Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “There has been no pause which is indicative that the BJP government is not slack concerning the wel-

fare of the Nagas,� claimed Sudershan. The MoS also asserted that BJP government was very concerned for the welfare of the North Eastern States particularly the tribal. He added that because of this concern for tribals including North East tribals, former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee constituted the Tribal Ministry in 1999 and also the DONER ministry in 2001. He said the current Prime Minister has directed all union ministers to visit the north east states every 15 days on rotation basis to monitor the development process under process of implementation and further assuage the scope of development of various aspects in the region.

Centre focusing on devp of NE region: Gangwar Correspondent

IMPHAL, Oct 6: Union minister of state for labour and employment Santosh Kumar Gangwar Friday reiterated BJP-led NDA government’s commitment towards accelerating the development pace of the Northeast states. Speaking at the regional conference of labour ministers and principal secretaries, secretaries and commissioners, Gangwar said that Government of India was focusing on the development of Northeastern states so as to bring an inclusive growth and development in the country, he said. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his idea of “Sab ka Saath Sab ka Vikas,” the Central government is given priority for the welfare of the people and inclusive development in the country. State governments of the region should take the full advantage of this programme with a commitment towards ac-

celerating the development pace, he said. Without the corporation of the states, the objective of inclusive growth and development of the Central government could not be achieved, he asserted. Also speaking on the occasion, Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh called upon the people of Northeast states to jointly work to over the alienation in the mainland India. “A collective effort is needed to overcome the alienation of the people of Northeast in the mainland India and it is our responsibility to create the sense of unity among citizens of the country” Singh said. Expressing concern over the harassment and discrimination of Northeasterners in mainland India, Singh said, “We the people of the region need to fight together such alienated attitude together.” “We have enough talent and potential to show that we are not lacking behind.

We have to show them that we are not lacking behind,” he said. “The only thing we need is to unity so that the development pace of the region is accelerated. We can overcome the alienation if we work together,” Singh added. During the conference/ review meeting, elaborate presentations on child labour, plantation workers, social security schemes, matters relating welfare of unorganized workers were made by various subject experts. Assam’s minister for labour and employment Pallab Lochan Das, Nagaland’s parliamentary secretary for labour and employment Dr Neiphrezo Keditsu, secretary of Union ministry of labour and employment M Sathiyavathy, financial advisor and additional secretary to Union ministry of labour and employment Arun Goel and officials from various Northeast states participated in the conference.

northeast ‘Difficult to maintain roads during monsoon’ Aizawl, Oct 6 (PTI): Mizoram Public Works minister Lal Thanzara today said that the road conditions in the state were bad especially those being looked after by the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) but this happens every year during monsoon. Addressing the ruling party workers, Lal Thanzara said no government could maintain roads during the peak of monsoon. The people should understand that all the roads were not under PWD and many of them were under the Union MoRTH, in which the state government could not intervene even if it wanted to, Lal Thanzara, the younger brother of state chief minister Lal Thanhawla, who recently got the PWD portfolio said.The PWD was earlier held by Lal Thanhawla. Lal Thanzara promised that the state PWD would take advantage of the coming brief dry season to repair the roads across the state by availing loan and getting funds from other sources.

Infant deaths: Tarun Gogoi demands judicial inquiry G u wahat i , O c t 6 (PTI): Former Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi Friday demanded a judicial inquiry into the death of eight infants at the Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed Medical College Hospital in Barpeta. The infants had reportedly died due to serious neo-natal medical complications. “The death of infants exposes the poor health policy of the present BJP government. Do lives of newborns have no value? We demand a judicial inquiry into the deaths,” Gogoi told reporters here. He also alleged that the present Health Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, has been the longest serving minister of the department and the death of infants have only exposed his failure to provide proper healthcare to people of the state. Gogoi also questioned Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal for keeping mum on the issue. According to the report of the expert committee constituted by the Director of Medical Education to inquire into the deaths of the infants, the condition of the deceased

newborns were very critical and most of the mothers had pregnancy-related complications. All the newborns were diagnosed with severe birth asphyxia with four of the eight babies having low birth rate and most of the mothers did not have proper antenatal care and attended hospital very late in labour while two of the babies were delivered at home. Most of the mothers were in critical conditions with complications like oligo-hydromnios, severe anaemia etc. but they were saved due to adequate and prompt treatment in the hospital. The report further pointed out that there was no negligence on the part of the doctors, nurses and working staff while the infrastructure and other facilities of Special Newborn Care Unit (SNCU) was adequate. Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had also told reporters yesterday that the infants had died due to serious neo-natal medical complications and not due to human negligence but were related to purely critical nature of the cases like age of the mother, weight of the baby etc.

Bru repatriation not to No place for Rohingya in Assam, say ethnic communities start in early November Centre’s plan to deport their community members who had taken refuge in India. ASM working president Motiur Rahman said even as India did not have any specific legislation on refugees, lakhs of refugees took shelter in Assam from the erstwhile East Pakistan and also after creation of Bangladesh in 1971. The ASM’s contention is the state’s indigenous communities are facing an existential threat of losing their identity and rights over land and resources

Most flood-hit train services in NE restored

India’s costliest hydro project to be commissioned

Aizawl, Oct 6 (PTI): The Mizoram government is not ready to begin the process of Bru repatriation from the first week of November as desired by the Centre for different reasons, an official said Friday. It would not be possible to start the proposed Bru repatriation from the six relief camps in North Tripura district from November one for different reasons, including lack of prompt action by the Centre on fund allocation, state Additional Secretary for

Agartala/Guwahati, Oct 6 (IANS): Railway officials are working round-the-clock to restore breached rail communications following massive floods in Assam, Bihar and West Bengal in August, with most of the railway lines restored, a railway official said on Friday. Of the 71 of long distance trains, including those running between northeastern states and rest of India, 48 have so far been restored by the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) after they were suspended in early August. “The services of remaining 23 trains will be restored in a phased manner after the repair of the damaged railway tracks,” NFR Chief Public Relations Officer Pranav Jyoti Sharma said. Railway tracks at multiple locations in Assam, Bihar and West Bengal were damaged due to unprecedented floods and landslides and train services

Home Lalbiakzama told PTI. “Our revised estimate for expenses is yet to be accepted by the Centre till date and it would not be possible to make preparations during this month without fund,” Lalbiakzama said. He also said that while the plan for the repatriation was already prepared, but its implementation would need time. Thousands of Brus migrated to Tripura following violence in 1997.

in the northeastern states came to almost a standstill from August 10. The floods caused extensive damage to railway tracks, bridges, culverts, communication systems and other infrastructure. Railway officials worked round-the-clock on a war footing to restore the track breaches spread over vast area. “As a result of the efforts by engineers, officials, workers, the direct train services from northeast India to the rest of the country could be resumed. A goods train service resumed on August 29 and passenger trains from September 3,” he added. All the trains between the mountainous northeastern states and the rest of India pass through New Jalpaiguri station in north Bengal and Katihar division in Bihar. Sharma said NFR incurred substantial losses due to damaged railway tracks and assets and also suspension of traffic, with Katihar Division (in Bihar)

bearing the brunt. He said Rs 63 crore has been spent so far on repairing the damaged tracks and assets, with Rs 45 crore spent in Katihar division alone. In Alipurduar division, a bridge is being rebuilt between Fakiragram-Dhubri section at Rs 8.7 crore. The railways also suffered commercial losses of Rs 209 crore, with refund to passengers for cancelled trains accounting for Rs 44 crore. Engineers of Army’s Military Engineering Services (MES) also helped to restore train services, an NFR official said. The NFR serves seven districts in West Bengal and five districts in north Bihar, besides the seven northeastern states. An NFR official said that though it has not been estimated yet, but the NFR might have suffered another Rs 500-600 crore loss because of damage to railway assets, including bridges, culverts, tracks and communication networks.

A I Z AW L , O c t 6 (Agencies): The 60 MW Tuirial hydro electric project in northern Mizoram, expected to be commissioned this month, will be the costliest power project in India, according to State BJP. When the project approved in 1988, is finally completed after 19 years, the cost of power per unit will be Rs 8.44, the highest in India, BJP said in a release. While the State currently purchases power at the rate of Rs 4.25 per unit from outside the State, purchasing the same at Rs 8.44 per unit, that too from State’s own hydel project, is not feasible for an economically backward State like Mizoram. The high cost of power, according to BJP, is caused by the high cost of the project resulted by delays.

All is well in state congress, says M’laya CM Shillo n g , O c t 6 (Agencies): As the Congress seems to be entangled in a web of confusion and disloyalty ahead of the assembly polls, Chief minister Dr Mukul Sangma has assured that all is well with the congress and that recent development in the party doesnt ditter the party’s leadership. When asked if his government was “shaky”, in the context of at least five sitting MLAs not picking up the application forms to contest from the Congress party, the Chief Minister said “who is saying the government is shaky –do you see the waves of being shaky.” “…don’t go by presumption and assumption because we have seen this kind of presumptions and

Mukul Sangma assumptions in the past and we know how to steer well in a real turbulent political climate,” he added. Meanwhile, Dr Mukul Sangma said that sufficient notice is given to all concern when the state government intends to convene the Assembly Session. It may be mentioned that the session should have

been scheduled by September within six months after the last normal Budget session held in March-April, the government had cited the special session held in June was to postpone the next session. “When we convene the assembly session then enough notice is given to all concern so you don’t have to worry for that,” Dr Sangma told reporters yesterday. Dr Sangma also said that the decision of the People’s Democratic Front (PDF) to take the political plunge in the 2018 assembly polls will only benefit the Congress. When asked if the PDF will hurt the Congress, the Chief Minister said, “I will tell you only one thing that it will benefit the Congress.”

Suspended, Congress legislator from Mawsynram, Pynshngain N Syiem will take over the reign of the PDF in the next few months. Dr Sangma also said that the formation of the PDF only reflects the vibrant democracy of the nation and anybody who aspires to venture out to serve the people in the capacity of a politician has a space. “That is what we use to tell to people, friends who sometimes get misguided, you don’t have to take guns, the democratic system provides a space for everybody, to say if am not happy with others I want to bring a change then one has to look at himself as a game changer…” Dr Sangma added.

because of illegal migration. “Indigenous communities cannot afford to further endanger their existential threat. So, it will be a matter of serious concern if Rohingya somehow enter the state,” said Rahman. Police have already sounded an alert, especially in districts bordering Bangladesh, following the arrest of three Indian touts from Sonapura in Tripura on Tuesday. The trio had helped Rohingya refugees to illegally enter

Assam. The ASM had earlier warned that there was possibility of Rohingya refugees trying to take refuge in the state via Tripura. Scores of Rohingya refugees fled the troubled Rakhine state of Myanmar due to ethnic clashes there. In a memorandum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, the ASM pointed out that the indigenous community of the state is feeling threatened as 1971 has been made the base year for NRC.

New Delhi, Oct 6 (PTI): India and the European Union Friday adopted a declaration to counter terrorism as they discussed ways to strengthen their cooperation in key areas of trade and security during the summit between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the top EU leadership here. However, there was no major headway on the muchdelayed free trade pact at Modi’s meeting with the European Council President Donald Franciszek Tusk and European Commission President JeanClaude Juncker. At the 14th summit, the two sides also held extensive deliberations on bilateral, regional and international issues, including the Rohingya crisis and volatile situation in the Korean peninsula. Addressing a joint press event with the EU leaders, Modi said,”We have agreed to strengthen our security cooperation and work together against terrorism. We will not only further strengthen our bilateral cooperation on this issue, but will also increase our cooperation and coordination in multilateral fora.” Tusk said, “We have adopted a joint declaration on counter terrorism in which we agreed to counter violent extremism and radicalisation,

Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Donald Franciszek Tusk, President of the European Council and Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission. (PTI) particularly online, and to deal effectively with the threat by foreign terrorist fighters, terrorist financing and arms supply.” The two sides also inked three pacts, including one on an international solar alliance, after the summit. Noting that the EU is the largest investor in India and also its largest trading partner, Juncker said the equation between the two sides will remain unchanged even after Britain exits the 28-nation bloc. “It is the time for a Free Trade Agreement between India and the European Union. Once the conditions are right, and only when the conditions are right we resume (talks). Today’s summit is an important step in the right direction,”

Juncker said. He added that the chief negotiators from the two sides will sit together in the coming days to chart the way forward. Juncker said the two sides should step up work to ensure free flow of data, but emphasised on high standards of data protection as several Indian IT firms offer their services to companies from the European Union. He asserted that data protection was a precondition for exchanging personal data freely and fully. Indian companies are specialised in offering back office services and IT services to IT companies in EU. Many of these services and jobs that go with them depend on exchange of data. If India’s standards of data protection are converging

with those of the European Union, the European Union will be in a position to recognise the adequacy of India’s goods, Juncker said. The 28-nation bloc is India’s largest regional trading partner with bilateral trade in goods at USD 88 billion in 2016. It is also the largest destination for Indian exports and a key source of investment and technologies. India received around USD 83 billion of foreign direct investment from Europe during 2000-17, constituting approximately 24 per cent of total FDI inflows into the country during the period, said Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Raveesh Kumar. India and the EU have been strategic partners since 2004. The 13th India-EU Summit was held in Brussels on March 30 last year during Modi’s visit. The last year’s summit meeting had also failed to make any headway on the resumption of long stalled negotiations for a free trade agreement. Launched in June 2007, negotiations for the proposed India-EU Broad-based Trade and Investment Agreement (BTIA) have witnessed many hurdles due to major differences on

Sasikala granted 5-day emergency parole

Bengaluru, Oct 6 (PTI): AIADMK leader V K Sasikala Friday walked out of the Parapana Agrahara central jail here after being granted emergency parole for five days to meet her husband, who underwent a liver and kidney transplant at a Chennai hospital. Sasikala had sought 15-day parole, but was granted only five days with tough conditions, including that she should not involve in political or any other public activity or take part in party activities, jail authorities said. During the emergency parole, the AIADMK leader will only be allowed to visit the hospital where her husband is admitted and stay at the residence

as mentioned in the application, the authorities said. It has also been stipulated in the conditions that she should not entertain any visitors either at her residence or the hospital. Sasikala has also been restricted from interacting with any media - print or electronic, the authorities said. Soon after completing the required formalities, Sasikala, accompanied by her nephew T T V Dhinakaran, headed for Chennai by road. After her first application was rejected on “technical grounds” on October 3 for not producing certain requisite documents, Sasikala had filed a fresh plea for parole. Rajya Sabha member from Tamil Nadu, Navneet

Krishnan, has given an undertaking for Sasikala’s parole, her lawyer Krisnappana told reporters outside the jail premises. “Rs 1,000 surety also has been deposited,” he added. Around 100 supporters of ‘Chinnamma’ gathered outside the jail premises. Krisnappana said Dhinakaran had arrived at the jail and completed the parole formalities. The Tamil Nadu Police had earlier issued an NOC to the Karnataka government for granting parole to Sasikala, he said. Sasikala’s husband, M Natarajan (74) underwent liver and kidney transplant on October 3 with the organs harvested from a brain-dead youth, according to Gleneagles Global Health City Hospital in Chennai.

SC seeks Centre’s response on execution by hanging son is sentenced to death, the sentence shall direct that he be hanged by the neck till he is dead”. The court also asked the legislature to consider alternate modes of execution, as it said that the mode of the execution of death sentence would be decided by the legislature as the process entails amending the Code of Criminal Procedure. It said the Constitution was an organic compassionate document which recognises the principles of sanctity of life. The petitioner told the court that the execution of death sentence by hanging violated Article 21 of the Constitution, which guarantees right to life with dignity. He said the right to life with dignity also included right to death with dignity, without pain and suffering. Section 354(5) is violative of Article 21 that guarantees right to life with dignity till natural end of the life, the petitioner

contended. As the petitioner-lawyer addressed the court on less painful methods of execution, Justice Chandrachud said there was a lot of criticism on carrying out death sentence by administering lethal injections. The petitioner has cited an earlier Supreme Court judgement that said: “The act of the execution should be as quick and as simple as possible and free from anything that unnecessarily sharpens the poignancy of the prisoner’s apprehension, should produce immediate unconsciousness (and) passing quickly into the death, should be decent and not involve any mutilation.” Referring to the procedure as laid down in the Punjab and Haryana Jail Manual, the petitioner said the entire procedure was painful. He also referred to an earlier Law Commission report to tell the bench that the execution of death sentence by hanging was painful, brutal, and violative of Article 21.

DC-2327

New Delhi, Oct 6 (IANS) The Supreme Court on Friday directed the Centre to respond within three weeks on a plea that sought execution of death sentence by hanging to be declared ultra vires of the Constitution. A bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justice A.M. Khanwilkar and Justice D.Y. Chandrachud said the apex court was conscious of the fact that it had earlier upheld the validity of death sentence by hanging. The bench asked Attorney General K.K. Venugopal to assist the court in the matter. Petitioner-lawyer Rishi Malhotra sought a court order to declare Section 354 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) -- which provides for execution by hanging -- ultra vires of the Constitution, contending that the method given therein was unconstitutional, painful, and not a dignified way to end (human) life. Section 354(5) says “when any per-

Jewel of Indian sports

E

ight of the U-17 Indian football team are from Manipur and one from Mizoram. That itself speaks volumes about the sports culture in these two states. Manipur in particular has been providing several players for the national team be it hockey, football, boxing, weight lifting or contact sports. It must be pointed out that Manipur has been under cloud of militancy for the better part of its existence as a state since 1972. Despite the tag of being a ‘failed state’ where militancy meant cycles of killings, bomb blasts, ambushed and bandhs; yet the doughty people of Manipur never lost their zeal for sports. If there is a state in India that can be called the super power of sports or a powerhouse of sports; that title belongs to Manipur. With a population of around 30 lakh, Manipur has pushed other states having 20 crore people (UP) or even nearly 3 crore (Punjab) far behind if the ratio of people to sportspersons who have won national and international events is considered. The people of Manipur comprising of various communities, have taken sports as an expression of their culture. There are people of other parts of the north east who are endowed with good physique that are essential for sports activity but Manipuris have not only played sports but also followed its regimen and that perhaps is the difference. One notable factor about progress of sports in Manipur is that the people love and support the activities. Those at the helm of sports development have also been particularly responsive to budding talents. Manipur, on the other hand has a wide variety of sports and has been consistent. In both men and women’s football (being the national champion in the latter category), weightlifting, boxing, martial arts, hockey, judo and other games, the state has enough sportspersons who continue to bring laurels to the state. Adding twist to the story is that Manipuris represented other states in the 34th National Games in 2011 and which can be gauged from the following facts: 35 Manipuri athletes and players won medals for Services Board, 17 of them won medals for Jharkhand, 11 for Delhi, six for Kerala, 34 for Madhya Pradesh, two for Uttar Pradesh, one for Karnataka, two for Andhra Pradesh, 21 for Assam, two for Orissa and one for Bihar. The strong and sturdy women footballers from Manipur earned a big name by representing 9 of its players at the 13th Bangkok Asiad Women’s Football Team of India. Manipur sportspersons also won accolades in national awards. Many Manipur sports persons won medals for India such as Kujarani Devi by her consistent performances in weight lifting for more than a decade in international competitions; Ng. Dingko Singh, the boxing gold medallist in the 13th edition of the Asian Games held in Bangkok. In all, Manipur has produced 9 Olympians, 11 Arjuna Awardees and 2 Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna awardees, six sportspersons from the state, Laishram Bombella (archery), MC Mary Kom (boxing), Devendra (boxing), Sonia Chanu (weightlifting), Chinglensana (Hockey) and Kothajit (Hockey) have taken part in London Olympics, 2012. During the Common Wealth Games, 2010 at Delhi, Manipur players have won 3 gold, 1 silver and 3 bronze. The above achievements by Manipur sportspersons is very impressive as it confirms that ratio of sports person produced by the state in much higher than any other state. Indeed Manipur sportspersons have made their state a jewel of Indian sports.

DailyDevotion The Nature of Regeneration

When it pleased God…to reveal His Son in me… —Galatians 1:15-16 If Jesus Christ is going to regenerate me, what is the problem He faces? It is simply this— I have a heredity in which I had no say or decision; I am not holy, nor am I likely to be; and if all Jesus Christ can do is tell me that I must be holy, His teaching only causes me to despair. But if Jesus Christ is truly a regenerator, someone who can put His own heredity of holiness into me, then I can begin to see what He means when He says that I have to be holy. Redemption means that Jesus Christ can put into anyone the hereditary nature that was in Himself, and all the standards He gives us are based on that nature— His teaching is meant to be applied to the life which He puts within us. The proper action on my part is simply to agree with God’s verdict on sin as judged on the Cross of Christ. The New Testament teaching about regeneration is that when a person is hit by his own sense of need, God will put the Holy Spirit into his spirit, and his personal spirit will be energized by the Spirit of the Son of God— “…until Christ is formed in you” (Galatians 4:19). The moral miracle of redemption is that God can put a new nature into me through which I can live a totally new life. When I finally reach the edge of my need and know my own limitations, then Jesus says, “Blessed are you…” (Matthew 5:11). But I must get to that point. God cannot put into me, the responsible moral person that I am, the nature that was in Jesus Christ unless I am aware of my need for it. Just as the nature of sin entered into the human race through one man, the Holy Spirit entered into the human race through another Man (see Romans 5:12-19). And redemption means that I can be delivered from the heredity of sin, and that through Jesus Christ I can receive a pure and spotless heredity, namely, the Holy Spirit.

Post-mortem

The pre-planned drama: Part 2

W

hen Shri. T. R. Zeliang was swornin as Chief Minister on 19th July, 2017 at 5:30 p.m. in the evening, (three and a half hours after the dismissal of my Government) he was asked to prove his majority within 2 days. On 21st July, 2017 the Assembly met and the NPF MLAs also attended the session. Mr. Kiyanilie Peseyie, the Chief Whip of the NPF Legislature Party had already issued ‘three line whip’ to all the members including those dissident members. Dissident members were served with ‘three line whip’ although many of them were expelled already from the party and some were under suspension but because of the 10th Schedule of the Constitution of India they cannot join any other platform. Their wrong action itself had disarmed them completely. Therefore, finding no other option, they said that they have appointed T. R. Zeliang as their Whip. Fully aware of the manipulative mischief of the Legislators, the Speaker had given illegal recognition to it. With that, T. R. Zeliang had also issued whip to the dissidents and accordingly all dissidents members voted in favor of the ‘confidence motion’ moved by T. R. Zeliang . With all these ‘outof-the-way actions’ taken unconstitutionally, T. R. is continuing as the Chief Minister today based on this confidence motion moved by him, illegally recognized by the Speaker who is his co-brother-in-law; and illegally voted in favor of the confidence motion by the dissident Legislators defying the directive of the NPF Chief Whip Mr. Kiyanilie Peseyie. What we have been doing today will go down to the pages of Nagaland

T

Legislative Assembly’s history and posterity will judge our today’s action. It is most unfortunate that in this issue the Speaker (Dr. Imtiwabang) has molested the Constitution of India and also desecrated the sanctity of the Speaker’s office for the love of Mike. Paragraph 2 (1)(b) of the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution of India specifically provides that the Political Party is the authority which appoints its whip to issue directives to all its Legislators for issue contemplated in that sitting. Mr. Kiyanilie Peseyie was the Whip appointed by the NPF President on 14th November, 2014 and accordingly, the then Speaker (Mr. Chitisuh Sazo) had given his recognition and it was published by the Assembly through its gazette notification No. AS/LEG31/2013, dated Kohima the 15th Nov., 2014, copies of which were circulated to all the Departments in Nagaland, to all the Assembly Secretaries of all States and Union Territories in India and to the Election Commission of India etc. On the other hand a notification issued by the Nagaland Legislative Assembly vide No. AS/LEG91/2003/26 dated the 19th July, 2017 has said that the NPF Legislature Party (dissidents) has informed the Hon’ble Speaker the appointment of Shri T.R. Zeliang, Leader, NPF Legislature Party as Whip of the Legislature Party w.e.f 04/07/2017. As per the notification issued by the Assembly, it was not an appointment order but only an information given to the Assembly by the dissident Legislators. It is to be noted that Legislators do not have power to appoint the Whip. Therefore, the dissident Leg-

islators appointing Shri T. R. Zeliang as whip was unconstitutional; while it was a more serious breach of the constitutional provisions by the Speaker giving recognition to such unconstitutional appointment. The two different notifications stated above read as follows:(1) Notification No. AS/LEG-31/2013: Kohima, the 15th November 2014 “In exercise of the powers conferred under Article V, Clause 10 of the Constitution of Naga People’s Front, Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu, President NPF has appointed Shri Kiyanilie Peseyie as the Chief Whip of the Naga People’s Front Legislature party w.e.f. 14th Nov 2014.” Signed by A.E.Lotha, Secretary, NLA. 15/11/2014. (2) Notification N0./ AS/LEG - 91/2003/26: Dated Kohima, the 19th July 2017, “The NPF Legislature Party has informed the Hon’ble Speaker the appointment of Shri T. R. Zeliang, Leader, NPF Legislature Party as Whip of the NPF Legislature Party w.e.f. o4.07.2017.” Signed by N.Benjamin Newmai, Secretary, NLA. 19/7/2017. This notification has shown that they have appointed T.R. as their Whip three days before they left for Kaziranga and also before T.R. started his black magic game. All these have shown that they tried to do it backdated but they had gone too far, because by 4th July, 2017 there was no crisis in the party and the question of appointing the second whip by the same party does not arise. If it was pre-planned to fulfill their hidden agenda, why not consult their masters before they commit mistake after mistake. It is unfortunate. (To be concluded…) Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu

Why dustbins are empty?

here is a famous saying which goes ‘if all people sweep their own compound every day the whole world will be clean’. Reading your daily esteem newspaper on October 2, 2017, it is very encouraging to see different organizations, towns, schools and villages around Nagaland coming together to clean their own localities in the name of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. This is the biggest achievement of the society to impart the value of cleanliness to our younger generation which is clearly seen on the Gandhi Jayanti Day. Personally I salute the leaders who took an active part in organizing the people to clean their own localities on that special day of our country. On the contrary, let me also not hide of what I have seen and observed in these past few years living in Dimapur town. As a concern citizen of Dimapur I am very upset to see people in the market indiscriminately throw their litters at any place they are standing or walking in and around the Dimapur town. Shopkeepers clean their own shops and throw the rubbish either on the side of the road or into the drain. The other day as I was walking around the town to buy something for my personal requirement, I saw so many dustbins on both sides of the Lotha road are empty, while full of litters are around those dustbins and on the drain of that particular road. Therefore, I do not know those dustbins are meant for what? Remember Nagaland is a state with more than 80 percent of literacy rate according to the recent census and environmental studies is compulsory to all the students. If 80 percent of our citizens are literate why should be the 20 percent who are illiterate control our society of not knowing the value of cleanliness? It is very sad to see our market becoming dirtier and dirtier day by day while the dustbins provided by the DMC are empty. Another day I asked an educated person, ‘why are you throwing waste plastic on the ground and not on the dustbin that is just ahead of you?’ The person replied quite harshly, ‘others too are

also throwing their rubbish here on the ground and the place is already dirty, while bother me alone.’ This is a simple example of how we educated people are contributing to dirty our own market places. By saying this I do not mean to condemn the educated people neither the uneducated, instead I want to remind all of us about the importance of keeping the place clean and to make use of the dustbins that are provided to us by the DMC. Of course, with a high population like India to keep the market clean is impossible but if all the people have a clear mentality of the importance of cleanliness as on the 2nd of October, our market places will look very different as it was on any other days before. Let us not forget even our governor P.B Acharya on his recent visit to Dimapur spoke of the importance of cleanliness in which he emphasized with the old living phrase ‘cleanliness is next to godliness’. It is very hurting to see the drains on both sides of the road are full of litters and block the water to pass through especially on the rainy days. It is also very unfortunate to see people travelling on different vehicles and throw their rubbish from the windows of the vehicles. The question is, why are they not keeping those wastes and throw them in the dustbins that are on the side of the road? To keep the place clean is not difficult if all the people cooperate and develop a good mentality about cleanliness. Therefore I humbly request the citizens of Dimapur to continue the spirit of Swacch Bharat in all the days throughout the year and not only on the 2nd of October. If this spirit continues then it will have a great impact on our younger generation. Thus, to keep our Dimapur town clean and better of what it is right now let us fully make use of the dustbins that are provided to us by the DMC. Certainly, Dimapur town will look different and better in terms of cleanliness if all the people make use of all the empty dustbins around the town. Aiborlang Nongsiej, Bosco B.Ed College, Dimapur

The Youths are Watching

ince I lost my driving license, I applied for a fresh licence at Regional Transport Office, Kohima. After undergoing several procedures, I got my smart card driving licence at last. Nevertheless in the process I went several times to the office, which is far from the main town, the office which I could have easily accessed, had the old building still existed. I had to endure extra travelling expenses, wastage of time and energy. Certainly many denizens of Kohima have been going through the same difficulty that I had undergone. It reminded of that fateful night on 02/02/17 when the heritage building that housed the important offices for public conveniences particularly that of Office of Kohima Municipal Council and the Regional Transport Office among others, burnt down into ashes. While introspecting, the outcome of that mob frenzy by setting ablaze the public utility offices didn’t serve any beneficial in any way. In fact the public at large are at the receiving end (the aforesaid narration attest to it). A lesson best learnt is that destructing or damaging public utility centres doesn’t serve any good/benefit to the welfare of the community at large. ‘Think twice before you act’, as a famous phrase suggests, is suited in this context. While it cannot be denied that the Government of Nagaland’s mishandling of the case that of holding the Municipal elections across the state (I won’t narrate it as many learned citizens have already written on it) was the aftermath of that unfortunate incident. Twice in recent years, the state has witnessed similar incidences where youths in large numbers have come out to the streets (5th March 2015 and 2nd February 2017). It has been learnt among intellectuals that the inference for such throng of youths on the streets can be recounted to unemployment, where the frustrated youths are easily accessible and are furious and up in arms against the government. At a time when the state of Nagaland is reeling under high rates of unemployment among the educated youths, bridges being collapsed and are on the verge of collapsing, amid the rampant corruption. The unbearable rites and journeys, be it in the highways or the local roads across the state of Nagaland is extremely excruciating

for the travellers. Most road conditions across the state of Nagaland in any rationale sense cannot be term as metalled roads. Indeed the state of Nagaland is experiencing a rough patch. It has been learnt that regardless of the huge hue and cry from the general public due to the aforementioned human sufferings (which as elected representatives should hear to their grievances), the elected representatives are in deep slumber and are more concern about the present imbroglio within the party (camping and running two parallel party offices of NPF party). The colossal wastage of money by holding various conventions/meetings by the two parallel parties is well-known, wherein debates have been going on in various social medias. The point I am trying to relate is that this unnecessary wastage of money should have been utilised for developmental activities. The hunger/tussle for power among our elected representatives has taken a heavy toll to the state exchequer at the expense of the common people of our state. Frequent change of loyalty to their leaders among the legislators (which has been a regular affair among the present law makers of our state) is because our leaders do not have any mind for ideologies. With such deficient in ideologies among our leaders, developmental activities will be at stake and rampant corruption would transpire. The youths are watching. There have been speculations lately that most of the incumbent law makers are doubtful about their future as members in the state assembly. With the Assembly election round the corner, the educated voters need to be alert and should initiate for the success of the fervent call by various organisations on campaign for ‘Fair and Clean Election’, so as to elect a competent person who can work selflessly for the general welfare of the community and for the all-round development of the constituency and the state. The “Youths are Watching”. The adult franchise is one of the best gifts given by democracy to every citizens of India who have attained the age of 18 years. As such we should use this gift judiciously for electing our representatives so that the elected representatives should hear to our (public) grievances and needs often and not act as Masters.

Need for a pragmatic clean poll

W

ith the coming and forth of state general election the conversation about buying of votes has reared its head once again; this time around with much more indecision owing to the trend it has followed suit incessantly. Vote-buying can be described as an economic transaction in which parties and candidates distribute monetary/material benefit to individual citizen in exchange for their support at the polls. The practice of buying votes is both illegal and corrupt but, even greater than wrong, vote-buying perverts a democratic system. In a true democracy, the political parties are expected to campaign and to provide a better argument than the opponents and competing to convince the citizens that they have the better message and vision. When a candidate chooses to pay for support rather than compete fairly for votes, they show a disregard for democratic norms and a willingness to use illegal means. Vote buying enables poor governance and undercuts citizens’ ability to hold their elected officials accountable. This has been prevalent in our society and at such depths and extent that we are fairly revised about the dilemmas it casts. The organisations and groups which have initiated pragmatic steps in informing and creating awareness among the citizens about the urgency for a clean poll, and particularly for those in the remote areas as well, have done a job all too well. As all the good citizens await to embark for a new era of clean politics, the bet reside upon how the parties and the candidates would respond to the call for a clean poll-keeping in mind the case, given the disproportionate influence of vote-buying on the most vulnerable members of the society that arguably seem to have a greater

need than the community in which they reside. Given that this group of people is most likely to be the people that vote during election, they will have an overwhelming impact on the election result. The greater question the people ought to prompt confront is, “can we afford to miss clean election?” We have to face the facts of how obsolete our urge and attempt for a better governance would corrode to should we fail to perambulate the test this time around. And though the section of informed people could hinder the alluring proposals the candidates may confer, the majority of the illinformed and the incognizance of the skeptics could what be the determining factor for the end result. This would only impact regression and slow growth in our socio-economic aspects. Democracy offers no sanctuary for the elected representatives to acquire position vis-à-vis buying votes and other corrupt means. And to deter this viable menace, a suggestive consolidative reform could be to embrace the enticing inducement from whomever who partakes to deliberately subscribe to this illicit malpractice as a means to

reciprocate over his detrimental corrupt authority and misuse of monetary asset to influence the mass, and to cast the suffrage only to those parties or candidates who concur and abide to submit his/her candidature adhering to true democratic norms of clean election. Because unless any requisite valid step for a clean poll is not commenced, the outcome is obvious with that of the elected representative siphoning off public funds to rehabilitate his expenses spent. This trend has left larger serious implications upon our society which has resulted in non performance of output impairing every dynamics for growth. We have to own our own share of responsibility as it is ours alone. It would be a futile exercise to solely count on the political parties and the candidates participating in the upcoming polls to practice fairly the requisite compliance of true democracy. The much needed challenge we face today is that every citizen should be essentially aware or made informed about the benefits of a clean poll or the repercussion of the aftermath if the later inflicts.

A need for cleaner Dimapur

Sir,

I suppose what is needed in Dimapur is a Japanese-style attitude towards cleanliness where everyone, no matter their social status, learns that it is his or her duty to clean shared spaces, starting in elementary school. It is crucial for important social figures to set an example by openly and publicly cleaning and showing that anyone can perform this labor without losing dignity. I really hope that the “Swachh Bharat” would bring a paradigm shift in both practical component (actually cleaning) as well as a psychological component, both of which are necessary for Dimapur to become clean.

New Delhi, Oct 6 (Agencies): In a major breakthrough in its fight against black money, the government has zeroed in on 5,800 companies suspected to have laundered money after demonetisation, a government statement said on Friday. The announcement comes after 13 banks submitted data on bank account operations and post-demonetisation transactions of some of the 209,032 companies that had been struck off the Registrar of Companies earlier this year. “These 13 banks have submitted their first instalment of data. The data received from them pertains to merely about 5,800 companies (out of more than 2 lakh that were struck off) involving 13,140 accounts. This in itself is a revealing

whereas recapitalisation of PSBs is “more an urgent issue” in order to get the banking system running again. Adding to inefficient banks does not lead to a bigger efficient bank. So, this cleaning up of the bad loans problem is the first priority, he said. As part of the clean up process, the RBI has already started recognising the bad assets, provision them and is taking some of them to bankruptcy and insolvency process. “Now, the second step consequently is recapitalisation and getting these banks running again... that will be done in next few months. The government is fully aware that we need a much larger banking system by factors of multiple than what it is today,” Sanyal said, adding India’s banking system is way too small for future and needs to be expanded significantly. Recapitalisation bonds is one of the options for infusing capital into banks, he said, adding that the government could also dilute its stake in some lenders to 52 per cent. “There are many options and all of them will be explored in combination,” he said.

NEW DELHI, Oct 6 (PTI): India will have 10-15 public sector banks with government’s majority stake, down from 21 at present, as part of its plan to consolidate banks, Finance Ministry’s principal economic advisor Sanjeev Sanyal said on Friday. He said cleaning up of the bad loan problems is the first priority and after that the PSU banks could be consolidated. “There are something like 21-22 public sector banks.. The numbers will be reduced in terms of consolidation, but somewhere to the 10-15 range. We are not going to take it too far down...We need to consolidate some of these large number of banks, but be clear that we are not going to reduce these down to some people think like 4-5 national champions. We recognise that that will lead to too many ‘toobig- to-fail’ banks. Currently, we have one large bank State Bank of India... We do not want to create a large number of them. Then we will have a real problem in terms of concentration of risks,” Sanyal said at the India Economic Summit. He said consolidation of banks is longer term commercial decisions,

The government has insisted on quoting Aadhaar for bank deposits, obtaining mobile phone and several other utilities to weed out benami deals and blackmoney. Last month, it extended the deadline for obtaining Aadhaar for availing government schemes and subsidies by three months to December 31. Earlier, those who did not have Aadhaar were asked to procure it by September 30.

levied 5 per cent GST instead of 12 per cent in order to contain cost of those programmes, he said. Service providers with revenue below Rs 20 lakh have been exempted from iGST as well. GST , which was launched in July, is a landmark reform which turned India’s 29 states into a single market for the first time. But small and medium-sized enterprises, crucial to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s plans to create millions more of jobs, have been hurt by the massive tax overhaul that added layers of extra bureaucracy for firms and hit exports.

Existing depositors have been given time till December 31, 2017 to provide the 12-digit unique identification number. Ministry of Finance has issued four separate Gazette notifications making Aadhaar mandatory for opening all post office deposit accounts, Public Provident Fund (PPF), National Savings Certificate scheme and Kisan Vikas Patra deposits. “Provided that where Aadhaar number has not been assigned, the depositor shall submit proof of application of enrolment for Aadhaar,” the notification dated September 29 said.

May under fresh pressure to step down as British PM

Washington, Oct 6 (IANS): Pakistan has warned India against striking at its nuclear installations and said Islamabad won’t hold back if this happened, Pakistani media reported on Friday. Foreign Minister Khawaja Mohammad Asif ’s remarks was in response to Indian Air Force chief B.S. Dhanoa’s statement on Wednesday that if India needed to carry out a surgical strike, his aircraft could target Pakistan’s nuclear installations and destroy them. The minister told a discussion at the US Institute of Peace here that Indian leaders should not even contemplate such action as it could have “dire consequences”, the Dawn reported on Friday. “The Indian air chief said ‘we will hit’, through another surgical strike, Pakistan’s nuclear installations. If that happens, nobody should expect restraint from us. That’s the most diplomatic language I can use,” Asif said. The minister, who is in Washington on a threeday official visit, met US National Security Adviser Gen H.R. McMaster on Thursday, a day after holding wide-ranging talks with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. While both Islamabad and Washinton described the Asif-Tillerson talks as “positive” and “useful”, Asif indicated his meeting with McMaster was not as friendly as the earlier one. “I will not be extravagant. Yesterday’s meeting went very well, today’s meeting with Gen McMaster in the morning, I would be a bit cautious about it. But it was good. It was good. It wasn’t bad,” he said. Later, speaking about the new US policy on Afghanistan, Asif told journalists at the Pakistan embassy here that Islamabad was “genuinely concerned” about New Delhi’s role in the plan. Asif said the PakistanUS bilateral relationship had taken a new turn af-

ter the announcement of Washington’s South Asia strategy. “If on one hand the US has its concerns about the future of Afghanistan, Pakistan seeks recognition of its legitimate security concerns in the region,” the Dawn quoted him as saying. “We are genuinely concerned with respect to the role accorded in the strategy to India in general and its efforts, geared towards destabilisation in Balochistan, in particular. “Pakistan believes that unless there is stability in Afghanistan, the dividends of peace in the region would continue to elude us,” he said. To achieve that goal both the US and Pakistan need to work closely, he added. “On our part, we have completely wiped out all the hideouts used by terrorists and anti-state elements. However, this is an ongoing process with continuing intelligence-based operations by law enforcement agencies across the country.” He said Pakistan was extremely concerned about the “safe havens” of terrorists which he alleged were mostly operating from ungoverned spaces in Afghanistan, which he claimed covered more than 40 per cent of the area of the country. Asif said a number of terror attacks in Pakistan in recent months had been traced back to elements operating from bases in Afghanistan.

Karachi, Oct 6 (PTI): The death toll in the suicide attack at a prominent Shia shrine in Pakistan’s restive Balochistan province has risen to 22, officials said Friday. A suicide bomber detonated his explosives vest when he was stopped by a police officer guarding the Dargah Fatehpur, according to Deputy Commissioner Asadullah Kakar. The attack, claimed by the Islamic State group, took place when there was a heavy rush of devotees who had gathered at the shrine in the village of Jhal Masgi, located about 400 km from Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province. Devotees gather at the shrine of the revered Sufi saint every Thursday to participate in a sufi dance called ‘dhamaal’ and prayers. At least 22 people, including three children, were killed and more than 30 others injured in the bombing, Geo TV quoted a senior police official as saying. Officials said the death toll rose after an under- treatment victim succumbed to his injuries at the Chandka hospital in Larkana. Investigations are under way and police have collected evidence from the site of the blast, the official said. He said the bravery of police officials and security guards at the entrance of the shrine ensured that the suicide bomber could not harm the people who had amassed inside.

structure and propaganda team to al-Mayadin, southeast of its former capital of Raqqa. The Observatory said on Friday there were clashes in several areas in eastern Deir al-Zor province. The Syrian military shelled alMayadin overnight and Syrian and Russian warplanes have conducted hundreds of strikes, it said. Hezbollah, part of the military alliance supporting President Bashar al-Assad, said this week a senior commander had been killed in an Islamic State attack in Syria’s central desert. Backed by Russian air power, the army has continued its advance towards Mayadeen from Deir Ezzor along the Euphrates valley. In June, two US intelligence officials told Reuters that they believed Islamic State had moved most of its diminished command structure and propaganda team to Mayadeen, southeast of its former capital of Raqqa. The observatory said on Friday there were clashes in several areas in eastern Deir Ezzor province.

The pontiff, speaking at a conference in Rome, said the Catholic Church needed to accept responsibility “before God, victims and public opinion” for its own sex abuse scandals, but wanted to share the lessons it had learned. Speaking to participants including representatives from Facebook and Microsoft, he said social media businesses had to do more than set up filters and algorithms to block harmful content. The 80-year-old pope spoke out against the spread of extreme pornography, the dangers of socalled “sexting” between young people and between adults and children, and cyber bullying, calling it “a true form of moral and physical attack”. He said “heinous, illicit activities” such as the commissioning and live viewing of rape and violence against minors via the so-called Dark Web had to be stopped.

BEIRUT, Oct 6 (Agencies): Russian-backed Syrian government forces on Friday broke into the eastern town of Mayadeen, one of the Islamic State group’s last bastions in the country, a monitor said. “With support from Russian aviation, regime forces entered Mayadeen and took control of several buildings in the west of the town” in the eastern province of Deir Ezzor, Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, told AFP. The Observatory said on Thursday that the Syrian army and its allies were only six kilometres from Mayadeen.

The monitor added that Russian air strikes killed 14 civilians as they were crossing the Euphrates river near the city. “They were crossing the river on makeshift rafts in a village south of Mayadeen,” Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman said, adding that three children were among those killed overnight. Islamic State has staged fierce counter-attacks in central Syria in recent days, testing the army’s control of an area seized in a monthslong eastward offensive. In June, two U.S. intelligence officials told Reuters that they believed Islamic State had moved most of its diminished command

among Tory MPs to force a leadership contest. While 61-year-old May’s own Cabinet has rallied around her, Shapps accused them of trying to overlook a series of blunders that made May’s leadership of the party and the country untenable. Calls for the British PM’s resignation have been growing ever since a doomed general election in June, which lost the Tories their overall majority in Parliament. Most recently, calls for Theresa May to step down have been revived as a result of a disastrous speech at the annual Conservative party conference in Manchester. Her key policy messages were all lost in a series of mishaps including an interruption by a prankster, her own coughing fit and, to make matters worse, a faulty party message sign falling off on

He said the group of MPs supporting him included members across policy divides and covered Brexiters and those who supported remaining in the European Union (EU). But some party colleagues have jumped to May’s support and accused Shapps of stirring up trouble when an overwhelming majority” want her to carry on as Prime Minister. “The tr uth is the overwhelming majority of Conservative MPs, the truth is the entirety of the cabinet, the truth is the overwhelming majority of people, want the prime minister to concentrate on doing the job that 14 million people elected her to do earlier this year,” said UK environment secretary Michael Gove, who had been one of the leadership contenders for the Conservatives alongside May when David Cameron exited 10, Downing Street after the Brexit vote last year.

London, Oct 6 (PTI): Theresa May has come under fresh pressure from within her own party to step down as British prime minister as it emerged Friday that a former Conservative party chairman is leading an attempted coup against her. Grant Shapps, cochair of Britain’s ruling Tory party between 2012 and 2015, claims having the backing of nearly 30 party MPs – including former Cabinet ministers. He plans to spend the weekend taking that number up to the required 48 MPs to write to the chairman of the Conservative party’s powerful 1922 Committee of backbench MPs to trigger a leadership contest within the party. “I think it’s time we actually tackle this issue of leadership and so do many colleagues. We wanted to present that to Theresa May privately. Now I’m afraid it’s being done a bit more publicly,” Shapps told the BBC. May dismissed the brewing dissent as she told reporters that she had the “full support” of her Cabinet. “Now, what the country needs is calm leadership, and that’s what I’m providing, with the full support of my cabinet,” she said when asked about the efforts led by Shapps to gather sufficient support

Queensrÿche to play at Las Vegas; says ‘We Can’t Live in Fear’

T

he mass shooting in Las Vegas last weekend during a country music festival has led many artists to cancel their upcoming concerts in the area, but Queensrÿche won’t be one of them. Singer Todd La Torre tells

Tampa, Fla. news station WFLA-TV the show must go on and that, “we can’t live in fear.” “There are those times where you wonder, like, am I gonna die today?” he says in the interview. “Am I gonna get shot at

onstage? Hey, they’re not gonna keep us from living our lives. We can’t live in fear.” Queensrÿche are slated to play the Sunset Station Outdoor Amphitheater on October 7. The venue is located less

than 10 miles from where a gunman knocked out the windows to the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel and opened fire on an unsuspecting audience attending the Route 91 Harvest Festival. It was the largest mass shooting in U.S. history, with 58 confirmed dead and more than 500 injured. “It’s almost like you want everything to simmer and not continue,” La Torre continues. “Like, let this period have its time of…a moment of silence kind of a thing. But the show does go on. The positive side to going into a show like that on Saturday is you know that this was an isolated incident, whereas this is just some wacko guy that decides to do something like this.” Queensrÿche are on the road through the end of December, though the band plans to enter the studio at some point this fall to work on the followup to their 2015 album Condition Hüman. La Torre has also announced plans for a solo record to be released sometime in 2018. (Loudwire)

Paris Jackson wanted to be a psychologist

The Queen’s favourite song is a Beach Boys classic

M

odel-actor Paris Jackson has said that she initially wanted to lead a life away from the spotlight and wanted to pursue higher education in psychology. The 19-year-old actor said things changed as she approached high school graduation, reported People magazine. “I originally wanted to just kind of stay out of the spotlight and become a psychologist or a nurse at a psychiatric ward. “I realised it would be a shame to waste the platform I was given. Having the ability to go into the acting and fashion world, I just figured why not use that to make my platform bigger. That way, instead of helping the world one by one with patients, I could help the masses,” Jackson said at the Ones to Watch portfolio event. The aspiring actor added she had found out a balanced way to deal with pressure of being famous. (PTI)

A

royal expert has revealed exactly what Her Majesty is listening to on her iPod that was spotted at her Balmoral retreat. The Queen raised eyebrows when an old-style iPod was spotted taking pride of place in her living room at her Balmoral retreat. And now it has been revealed exactly which tunes she could be blasting through her docking station after her favourite song was revealed. Last month, the music-playing gadget was seen perched on a sideboard inside her personal quarters as she met with the governor-general of Australia in the Scottish Highlands. At the time, it was

thought music she may have downloaded on to the Apple product included songs by marching bands, bagpipes or even her namesake band Queen. But according to royal expert Ingrid Seward, who has released a new book about the Queen and Prince Philip called My Husband and I, Her Majesty’s favourite song is the Beach Boys classic, “California Girls”. She told Vogue magazine: “The Queen is a big fan of musicals, traditional hymns, and Scottish ballads, and even the Beach Boys’s songs, especially California Girls.” Ingrid also added that the monarch also has a wide range of listening tastes

from military music to Elton John, but doubts she listens to her iPod much. She added: “Whether or not she has much time to listen to music on her iPod I am not sure, but I rather doubt it.” But the Queen’s favourite song isn’t the only thing that has been revealed about the 91-year-old monarch. Last month we revealed the very unusual nickname Prince Philip gives his wife, and it appears he has taken inspiration from his vegetable patch. While we also told you how Her Majesty never goes anywhere without her mobile phone and even loves Facebook. (The Sun)

Barcelona, Oct 6 (Agencies): Andres Iniesta has signed a new “lifetime” contract at Barcelona which will keep him at the club for the remainder of his career. The midfielder, 33, has made 639 appearances for Barcelona, a number only surpassed by Xavi’s club record of 767. He joined the club in September 1996 at the age of 12 and has scored 55 goals after making his first-team debut in October 2002. He was set to become a free agent next

“But tonight, as a country, we go to the World Cup. This team has potential, but we’ve got a hell of a lot of work to do,” he added. “We come off the back of what happened in the last European Championships with the change of coach, a lot of difficulties throughout the campaign, but we’re there and we look to where we can improve all the time. This is a young team, they’re still learning all the time and nights like this aren’t straightforward.” Scotland, who defeated Slovakia 1-0 on Thursday, have only a two-point advantage over the Slovaks and are three points up on Slovenia. Scotland can secure second place with a victory against Slovenia on Sunday. Poland moved a step closer to clinching the top spot in Group E with a 6-1 rout of Armenia. Robert Lewandowski had a hat trick, becoming his country’s alltime leader scorer, with 50 goals in 90 appearances for the national squad. The Poles have 22 points, three more than second-place Denmark, who defeated Montenegro 1-0 on Thursday and look likely to reach the playoff, given that the Montenegrins must contend with Poland in their final match.

Superior USA beat India 3-0 in U-17 WC opener Sakshi bats for development

New Delhi, Oct 6 (PTI): India showed heart but lacked in skill and quality with a much superior United States of America handing them a sound 3-0 thrashing in the opening encounter of the FIFA U-17 World Cup, here tonight. Playing in their maiden FIFA tournament, rank out-

siders India were outclassed by a side that was a few notches above the ‘Boys in Blue’ in physically as well as technically. Captain and star striker Josh Sargent gave US the lead in the 30th minute through a penalty before Chris Dunkin (51st) got a freak goal and Andrew

Carleton (84th) hit on the counter after the change of ends. But for fine anticipatory skills of goalkeeper Moirangthem Deeraj Singh, who made some impressive saves, India could have conceded even more goals. As predicted by head coach Luis Norton de Matos, US made a wave attacks throughout the match and India were left to defend their citadel for the better part of the game. While the USA got several chances, India had only had a couple of clear look at the goal. M i d f i e l d e r Ko m a l Thatal, the best Indian in sight today, wasted a chance in the second half when his lob was off target while Anwar Ali’s rasping shot in the 83rd minute hit the horizontal. The sizeable crowd at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium cheered the home players, who became the first ever national team to play in a FIFA World Cup at any level, but the gulf in the class was clearly evident. The accuracy in passes, the first touch, positional sense of the US players made it clear that it was always a catching up game for the Indian boys. India were pushed back

in their own half most of the time in the face of incessant US attack. The US attacking trio of Sargent, Tim Weah and Ayo Akinola kept the Indian defence on tenterhooks. India’s Por tuguese coach De Matos surprisingly named midfielder Abhijt Sarkar and Rahul Kannoly as right full back in the starting line-up with Aniket Jadhav being the lone man upfront. The ultra-defensive tactic put them under severe pressure as soon as the match started. US captain and striker Sargent, who will sign up with Bundesliga side Werder Bremen next year, found himself alone in the Indian box but his shot rebounded off the Indian custodian’s chest. Next, a 20th minute corner was punched away by goalkeeper Dheeraj. After a sustained period of US attack, Sargent was body- checked by Jitendra Singh off the ball inside the box and the referee promptly pointed to the dreaded spot at the half-hour mark. Sargent himself stepped up and converted from the spot to the dismay of the crowd. Ningthoinganba Meetei and Komal Thatal had a few good moves from

the right and left flanks respectively and those were not threatening enough. Aniket had a crack at goal late in the first half but it went straight into US goalkeeper’s grasp. India had a golden chance in 49th minute but Thatal’s shot sailed over. Following a clearance by Ningthoinganba, the ball bounced past American defender Chris Durkin and Thatal was hurried into lobbing the ball way over cross piece. In the 70th minute, de Matos made to changes in search of a goal with Nongdam Naorem coming in Ningthoinganba and striker Rahim ali for Abhijit. The move gave some impetus to the Indian attack. The third goal was a classical counter-attack after US defence got hold off a crossbar rebound off Snwar Ali’s shot. They made a quick counter and the Indian defenders could didn’t have the speed to run back in time to defend. Carleton was sent in the clear and the striker with an outside dodge beat Dheeraj before easily slotting the ball home. Match results New Zealand 1-1 Turkey Colombia 0-1 Ghana Paraguay 3-2 Mali
