CAB will be brought again: Amit Shah
GUWAHATI, SEP 9 (PTI): The Citizenship (amendment) Bill has not been consigned to oblivion and will be brought again, Home Minister Amit Shah said on Monday, but sought to soothe the concerns of the northeastern states, insisting special laws specific to the region will not be touched. Shah also asserted that the Centre intends to expel all illegal immigrants not just from Assam but the entire country. Visiting the Assam capital for the first time since the vexed final National Register of Citizens (NRC), which validates Indian citizenship of the residents of Assam, was published on August 31, the BJP chief also sought to quell apprehensions about scrapping of Article 371 of the Indian Constitution. Article 371 applies to several states in the northeast and grants them special powers with regard to religious and social practices, and observance of law and order. “We will ensure that existing laws of all states of the region remain as they are even after the introduction of the CAB. We have no in-

tention to touch any of these laws applicable to different states of the region”, Shah told a meeting of BJP’s allies who are part of the NorthEast Democratic Alliance (NEDA). He was addressing the fourth conclave of the NEDA, which is the northeastern version of the Centre’s ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Shah was responding to concerns voiced by chief ministers Conrad Sangma of Meghalaya, Neiphiu Rio of Nagaland and Mizoram’s Zoramthanga. Addressing the conclave, they had voiced fears about the consequences of
reintroducing the CAB, as it could alter the demography of their respective states. They wanted that their states be kept out of the purview of the CAB. The Citizenship (amendment) Bill was passed by the Lok Sabha on January 8 but could not be tabled in the Rajya Sabha following outrage in several parts of the country, particularly the northeast, where the BJP’s allies led by Sangma were up in arms against it. The bill provided for according Indian citizenship to Hindus, Jains, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists and Parsis from Bangladesh, Pakistan
and Afghanistan after seven years of residence in India instead of 12 years, which is the norm currently, even if they do not possess any document. The home minister also asserted that even the cut-off date for CAB will remain December 31, 2014. “It is very clear from our side that there will be no other date and Article 371 along with the Inner Line Permits (ILP) will not be touched,” he added. The Inner Line Permit (ILP) is an official travel document issued by the Government of India to grant permission for inward travel to an Indian citizen into a protected area for a limited period. It is obligatory for Indians residing outside those states where the ILP is in force to obtain prior permission to enter protected areas. Shah also asserted that the Centre intends to expel all illegal immigrants not just from Assam but the entire country. The BJP president also accused successive Congress governments of having alienated the region from the rest of the country. “Our intention is to ex-
Illegal collection of money: PAC seeks gov’s intervention Submits three-point appeal to Governor DIMAPUR, SEP 9 (NPN): Public Action Committee (PAC) of Naga Council Dimapur (NCD) has sought the intervention of the governor of Nagaland R.N.Ravi over the issue of illegal collection of money by both state and non-state actors in Dimapur. In a representation addressed to the state governor, PAC convenor Vekhosayi Nyekha and co- convenor K Gokheto Chophy stated that while ceasefire between the government of India and Naga political groups brought about peace and economic benefits, simultaneously there has been some unhealthy developments. PAC mentioned that corruption has reached “ex-
treme indescribable heights” in the state, affecting genuine development of all and creating social and economic disparity in the society. It also drew the governor’s attention to illegal collection of money by vested interests in the state government machinery and Naga political groups which it said, has increased manifold during the ceasefire period. Expressing hope that the governor would recognise political problems and initiate steps to address it, PAC urged upon him to immediately end the “illegal collection” of money by state government machinery. PAC also reiterated that the issue of “illegal collection” of money by the Naga political groups must be resolved through the peace process. Public Action Committee (PAC) said that “cease-
fire has become a license for illegal collection” particularly in Dimapur. While appreciating the desire of both the government of India and the Naga political groups in finding a peaceful and honourable solution to the long standing Naga issue, the PAC expressed confidence that no stone would be left unturned. However, Public Action Committee (PAC) said the interest of the general public should not be ignored during the intervening period when solution was being worked out. It said that the rights of the public should be protected against any illegal action that was detrimental to human development, security and progress. Further, PAC urged that the judicial process and rule of law must be strengthened to protect and safeguard the public.
pel illegal immigrants from the entire country and not just Assam,” he declared. He alleged the prolonged militancy in the northeast was because the Congress hardly cared for the region. “The Congress governments sowed the seeds of strife in the northeast. The party did not care for the northeast and because of that militancy flourished. It always believed in the policy of divide and rule,” he alleged. Shah also sought to re-emphasise the distinction between Article 370 of the Constitution pertaining to Jammu and Kashmir that the Centre revoked to strip the restive state of its special status, and Article 371. “Article 371 is a permanent provision, while Article 370 was temporary,” he said. “I hope, with these assurances, all apprehensions of the chief ministers of the northeast regarding the CAB and the special provisions have been allayed,” he said. After addressing the conclave, the BJP chief held a meeting with the chief ministers of all the eight states of the northeast.
Citizenship Amendment Bill will change demography of NE: Rio G U WA H AT I , S E P 9 (IANS):Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio on Monday said the “highly controversial” Citizenship Amendment Bill will change the demography of Northeast, if it is implemented by the Centre. Strongly opposing the bill in the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah at the 4th NEDA conclave here, Rio said all the NE states had resolved earlier that they would not let the legislation affect the region. “We believe it will change the demography of the North East. We need to understand the ground situation,” Rio said. He hoped that Shah and the Centre would “listen to us”. Rio also said the negotiations on Naga Peace accord were at an advanced stage. “We are hopeful of a solution very soon. We have also formed a joint legislation group,” he added. Rio also sought support of all the states of the region to amicably settle the Nagaland issue as it was the “mother of all issues in the Northeast”.
CNTC urges state govt to expedite foothill road DIMAPUR, SEP 9 (NPN): Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) has urged upon the state government to expedite the foothill road construction. CNTC through its media cell also requested the chief minister Neiphiu Rio to release the remaining amount for the completion of the project. CNTC asserted that foothill road was not only a vital lifeline for commuting between the districts, but also for the safety and security of Naga public. CNTC reminded about the untold harassment faced by Naga travellers while moving across the highways of some neighbouring state. The council further mentioned that the foothill road project, also called the Trans Nagaland Expressway, would boost up the state economy and help uplift the Naga people. Meanwhile, CNTC also lauded ABAM for contributing an amount of Rs.36.56 lakh towards the construction of the foothill road. “It is a very encouraging approach taken by the church to involve and contribute in a developmental activity of the state which other churches should also learn to emulate,” CNTC stated.

Meanwhile, Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma on Monday told Union Home Minster Amit Shah that the Northeast has fears on the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill and urged him to take all the states of the region into confidence before bringing in the legislation again. Sangma questioned whether the Centre will bypass discussions with the states before reintroducing the bill. “What will happen after CAB? Will people continuously come from Bangladesh? Will there be any deadline or a continuous flow? We in Northeast have such fears,” Sangma said. He requested the Centre to invite all stakeholders
to discuss and arrive at a consensus over the issue. Re q u e s t i n g U n i o n Home Minister Amit Shah to exclude the Northeast from the purview of CAB, Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga on Monday said that all political parties that supported the contentious bill are on the “verge of suicide”. “If at all, it (the bill) has to be implemented, then please see if the Northeast can be excluded from it. I request you to look into the vulnerability of the region. “The Citizenship Bill is a very very sensitive issue here. In most of the states where political parties supported it, they are on the verge of suicide,” he said.
Indian media in crisis: Ravish Kumar MANILA, SEP 9 (PTI): The Indian media is in a state of “crisis” which is not accidental or random, but systemic and structural, prominent Indian journalist Ravish Kumar said here on Monday as he received the prestigious 2019 Ramon Magsaysay Award, regarded as the Asian version of the Nobel Prize. Kumar, 44, is NDTV India’s senior executive editor and one of India’s most influential TV journalists who has been reporting real-life and under-reported problems of ordinary people, said the award citation by the Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation. “The Indian media is in a state of crisis and this crisis is not accidental or random, but systemic and structural. Being a journalist has become a solitary endeavour...It has become all the more

important to evaluate the crisis in the media,” he said. “While I am happy for myself today, I am also filled with sadness looking at the state of profession I represent,” Kumar said. Kumar was among five individuals who were declared winners of the award, which is Asia’s highest honour and celebrates greatness of spirit and transformative lead-
ership in Asia. The four other winners of the 2019 Ramon Magsaysay Award are Ko Swe Win from Myanmar, Angkhana Neelapaijit from Thailand, Raymundo Pujante Cayabyab from the Philippines and Kim Jong-Ki from South Korea. As uncompromising journalists find themselves being forced out of their jobs by news organisations and those corporate owners are never questioned, nevertheless it is heartening to see still some journalists who continue to put their lives and careers at risk to pratise honest and meaningful journalism, he said in his speech. Kumar also touched upon the situation in Kashmir and the communication gag in the Valley following the abrogation of Article 370 on August 5.
Ensure people are protected from ‘Statelessness’: Bachelet 68th plenary session of North GENEVA, SEP 9 (PTI): UN human rights chief Michelle Bachelet on Monday expressed “deep concern” over the impact of restrictions in Kashmir, and asked India to ease the current lockdowns to ensure people’s access to basic services. Bachelet, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, also asked Pakistan and India to ensure that the human rights of the Kashmiri people are respected and protected, amid tensions between the two neighbours after the abrogation of special status of Jammu and Kashmir by New Delhi. In her opening statement at the 42st session of the Human Rights Council, she also asked India to ensure that the National Register of Citizens (NRC) verification in Assam does not leave the people stateless.
On Kashmir, she said her office continues to receive reports on the human rights situation on both sides of the Line of Control. “I am deeply concerned about the impact of recent actions by the Government of India on the human rights of Kashmiris, including restrictions on internet communications and peaceful assembly, and the detention of local political leaders and activists,” she said. “While I continue to urge the Governments of India and Pakistan to ensure that human rights are respected and protected, I have appealed particularly to India to ease the current lockdowns or curfews; to ensure people’s access to basic services; and that all due process rights are respected for those who have been detained,” she said. Asserting that the ab-
Michelle Bachelet (File)
rogation of Article 370 of its Constitution to withdraw J&K’s special status was its “internal matter”, India has defended imposition of restrictions in the Kashmir Valley on the grounds that they were put to prevent Pakistan from creating more mischief through proxies and terrorists. On Saturday, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval said mobile phone and Internet services can easily be used by Pakistan and terrorists for subversive activities, but the denial of these services should not prevent
people from going about their lives. “Even before Internet came into our lives people were going about their lives doing business,” he said, while acknowledging that people are unhappy with these restrictions. “In any society, people always want more than what they have. But to us their life is more important,” Doval said adding that 92.5 per cent of the geographical area of Jammu & Kashmir is now without restrictions. The government last month decided to abrogate provisions of Article 370 in J&K, and bifurcate it into two Union Territories, evoking strong reactions from Pakistan with its Prime Minister Imran Khan making provocative antiIndia rhetoric, which India dubbed as “irresponsible statements”. Bachelet also said
it was important that the people of Kashmir are consulted and engaged in any decision-making processes that have an impact on their future. On India’s NRC exercise, she said the recent verification process in Assam has caused great uncertainty and anxiety, with some 1.9 million people excluded from the final list published on August 31. She appealed to the Indian government to ensure due process during the appeals process, prevent deportation or detention, and ensure people are protected from statelessness. India says updating of the NRC is a statutory, transparent, legal process mandated by the Supreme Court of India. It maintains that the exclusion from the NRC has no implication on the rights of an individual resident in Assam.
Eastern Council concludes
Spl. Correspondent
G U WA H AT I , S E P 9 (NPN): Two-day 68th Plenary Session of the North Eastern Council (NEC), which was inaugurated by the Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday in Guwahati, concluded Monday. During the two-day session, insights for shaping development agenda of NE region were presented and deliberations were held on the progress of ongoing projects of NEC. Speaking at the session, MoS (DoNER) Dr. Jitendra Singh acknowledged the uniqueness of the Northeastern region and said that as far as the region was concerned there was much more to learn from Northeast for rest of India than Northeast has to learn from the rest of
the country. In the last five years, Dr. Singh said Northeast has come more into focus and that has been possible because the government was actually moving in that direction. Reiterating the commitment of the government for the development of the Northeast, Dr Singh said that NEC has been given its highest budgetary allotment of Rs. 1476 crore for the year 2019-20. All the governors and chief ministers of the eight north eastern states and other members also attended the meet and presented their speeches.

The Fall Army Worm, a pest, attacks maize and other crops. Lalsiamliana said the FAW outbreak that was detected on April 8 and affected 3,409 hectares of maize crops across the state by mid-May, was considered to be contained in August through concerted efforts by the Agriculture department, farmers and NGOs. He said the FAW outbreak would not bring down the projected yield of maize output this year because of pest- control.

SHAHJAHANPUR (UP), SEP 9 (PTI): The postgraduate student, who had levelled harassment charges against Swami Chinmayanand, on Monday alleged she was raped by the BJP leader who also physically exploited her for one year. Addressing media persons here, she claimed that the Shahjahanpur police was not registering the rape case. “Swami Chinmayanand raped me and even exploited me physically for one year,” she alleged before media persons, her face covered with a black scarf. The victim also approached the Delhi Police with a complaint accusing the BJP leader of raping her. A senior Delhi Police official said they received a complaint at a police station in south district which has been forwaded to the special investigation team of the UP Police. “The Delhi Police has registered this complaint at the Lodhi Road police station and has forwarded it to Shahjahanpur police, which is not registering the rape case,”she said. “On Sunday, the SIT quizzed me for about 11
hours. I have told them about the rape. Even after telling them everything, they have not arrested Chinmayanand yet,” she said. She alleged that when her father gave a complaint to police here about her physical exploitation, Shahjahanpur District Magistrate Indra Vikram Singh “issued threats”, asking her father to file “a missing complaint” instead. “I have all the proofs. The hostel where I lived has been sealed. It should be opened in front of the media,” she said, adding that she would give the proof, including video clips, at an opportune time against the 72-year-old BJP leader. On the FIR registered by Chinmayanand’s lawyer alleging that she was demanding Rs 5 crore, she said, “It should be probed. This is a fake allegation.” “Chinmayanand has ruined lives of many girls. I can’t tell the exact number. I am the only one to muster the courage and stand up,” she added. The SIT, headed by Inspector General Naveen Arora, was set up by the UP government on a Supreme Court directive.
NEW DELHI, SEP 9 (PTI): P Chidambaram on Monday urged authorities not to arrest officers who were involved in giving clearances to INX Media when he was finance minister, saying none of them done anything wrong. Chidambaram, who was sent to judicial custody in Tihar Jail last week for alleged corruption given to INX Media when he was Union finance minister, asked his family to post a message from him on Twitter. The veteran Congress leader said people asked him why only he had been arrested, but he had no answer. “I have requested my family to tweet on my behalf the following:- People have asked me ‘If the dozen officers who processed and recommended the case to you have not been arrested, why have you been arrested? Only because you have put the last signature’?” the tweet from Chidambaram’s official Twitter handle said. “I have no answer,” he said.
Madras HC advocates protests against chief justice transfer
V K Tahilramani (File)
the Collegium rejected her request to reconsider the prove. Signalling protest against the proposal, Justice
Tahilramani submitted her resignation to the President. It is not a usual practice to transfer a Chief Justice to a smaller High Court. Madras High Court, a chartered High Court, has a sanctioned strength of 75 judges. Meghalaya High Court has at present two judges (including CJ) against a sanctioned strength of three judges. Her tenure as HC judge is till October 3, 2020. Justice Tahilramani, who became a judge of Bombay High Court in June 2001, was appointed as the Chief Justice of Ma-
dras High Court in August 2018. The protesting advocates said that the transfer was wholly unwarranted and arbitrary. They vouched for the integrity and efficiency of Justice Tahilramani, and said that the transfer was uncalled for. Earlier, a group of lawyers had sent a representation to the Supreme Court seeking the withdrawal of the transfer proposal, saying “arbitrary transfer proposal, saying “arbitrary transfers whittle away the independence of the judiciary and the confidence of judges”.

NEW DELHI, SEP 9 (PTI): Robert Vadra, the son-in-law of interim Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, on Monday moved a Delhi court seeking permission to travel to Spain and other European countries on business. Vadra is facing probe under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Senior advocate K T S Tulsi, appearing for Vadra, told Special Judge Arvind Kumar that his client wanted to travel to some European countries from September 21 to October 8. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) sought time to reply to the application and said that it needed to verify details of the plea on its own too. The court has now put up the matter for hearing on September 12. Vadra is facing allegations of money laundering related to purchase of a property in London at 12, Bryanston Square, worth 1.9 million pounds. The court had in June allowed Vadra to travel to the US and Netherlands for six weeks on account of health reasons. It, however, had not allowed Vadra to go to the United Kingdom. The ED had expressed apprehension that the accused may destroy the evidence if allowed to go to the UK. K Y M C

Lesson in space
t was supposed to have been a historic moment for India and a crowning glory for the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) but it turned out to be a big disappointment when Vikram module crash landed and thus, India failed to become the fourth country to make a soft landing on the Moon. Considered as the “most complex” stage of the country’s second expedition to the moon, the lander was on a powered decent for a soft landing when it lost contact. The Chandrayaan-2 mission’s success would have put India in the same league as the US, Russia and China. However, barely 2 km from the lunar surface, contact was lost with the lander . According to reports, something snapped in those ‘terrifying 15 minutes’ in which braking manoeuvres were to be performed as the lander began its descent. From hurtling at a great speed to fine-tuning the momentum into one of gentle landing, glitches prevented the objective from being attained. Data from the mission is being analysed and will reveal the reasons, whether it was a power failure or collision with the surface at high speed. ISRO officials have hinted that the lander could have lost control after its thrusters were switched off to facilitate soft-landing. The Rs 978-crore Chandrayaan-2 mission that was expected to provide information about the presence of water in the form of ice on the Moon, which in turn would help scientists in simulating conditions for human habitation. It has been a long journey for ISRO and the scientists in India who have worked hard to make the country a space-faring nation, tapping the final frontier to achieve self-reliance. Vikram’, named after Dr Vikram A Sarabhai, the father of the Indian space programme, was designed to execute a soft landing on the lunar surface and to function for one lunar day, which is equivalent to about 14 earth days. The rover was to roll down from the lander explore the surrounding lunar terrain, a few hours after the planned soft-landing. International space experts and media around the world called the snapping of communication with Vikram as a “partial loss” and that all was not lost as the other orbiter with key scientific instruments on board is still circling the Moon’s orbit. ISRO’s future projects will not be hampered by Chandrayaan-2’s temporary setback. The space agency plans to send a three-member crew to space for at least seven days under its Gaganyaan mission, scheduled for 2022. On September 6, the Indian Air Force said it has completed the first level of selecting astronauts for the mission from its pool of test pilots. In 2023, ISRO intends to send an orbiter mission to study the atmosphere of Venus for its Shukrayaan mission. Aditya, or the Aditya-L1 mission to study the Sun and Mangalyaan 2, are also in the pipeline. NASA has lauded Chandrayaan-2, saying India’s Moon mission has “inspired” the US space agency which is keen to jointly explore the solar system with ISRO, a day after the lunar expedition suffered a snag while attempting a historic landing on the uncharted South Pole of the Moon. India has entered the exclusive space club and the Chandrayaan-2 mission will be a lesson as even countries like the USA, Russia and China too had their moments of learning. Hopefully, the setback will make ISRO more wiser and determined not be an end to the country’s ambitious space programme.
DailyDevotion Do It Yourself (2)
…bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ… —2 Corinthians 10:5 Determinedly Discipline Other Things. This is another difficult aspect of the strenuous nature of sainthood. Paul said, according to the Moffatt translation of this verse, “…I take every project prisoner to make it obey Christ….” So much Christian work today has never been disciplined, but has simply come into being by impulse! In our Lord’s life every project was disciplined to the will of His Father. There was never the slightest tendency to follow the impulse of His own will as distinct from His Father’s will— “the Son can do nothing of Himself…” (John 5:19). Then compare this with what we do— we take “every thought” or project that comes to us by impulse and jump into action immediately, instead of imprisoning and disciplining ourselves to obey Christ. Practical work for Christians is greatly overemphasized today, and the saints who are “bringing every thought [and project] into captivity” are criticized and told that they are not determined, and that they lack zeal for God or zeal for the souls of others. But true determination and zeal are found in obeying God, not in the inclination to serve Him that arises from our own undisciplined human nature. It is inconceivable, but true nevertheless, that saints are not “bringing every thought [and project] into captivity,” but are simply doing work for God that has been instigated by their own human nature, and has not been made spiritual through determined discipline. We have a tendency to forget that a person is not only committed to Jesus Christ for salvation, but is also committed, responsible, and accountable to Jesus Christ’s view of God, the world, and of sin and the devil. This means that each person must recognize the responsibility to “be transformed by the renewing of [his] mind….” (Romans 12:2).

Nagaland Post, Dimapur TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2019
The big brother watches continuously T he economy is in shackles. Expecting it to thrive is a miracle. Somehow a supposedly rightist, nationalist government is using socialist mores to keep it in chains. Even as India’s Chandrayan lands on moon to create a history, it is surprising that economy is yet to take the high strand. The foremost condition for a thriving system is allowing it to flow. It is unfortunately not happening. The suggestions coming from officials are creating road block. The economy is ailing. Slowdown in a situation like this is natural. Presently the growth has come down to 5 percent. If it is not allowed to blossom it can fall critically. The share market normally is not a reflection of the economy. The continuous fall in the stock index, however, is an indication of the fall in investment by the FPIs as well as domestic investors. The FPIs have withdrawn Rs 23,000 crore from the market in less than two months. The FPIs are withdrawing for policy flip-flops. Nobody is realizing why taxes are being imposed on their earnings and again
why the finance minister is withdrawing her own budget proposals. Nobody explains why draconian Motor Vehicle Act that collects about Rs 1.5 crore in penalties in Haryana and Odisha alone in five days is enacted to empower the gendarmes. It causes law and order chaos and stymies free movement. Real estate sector is gasping, banking sector is unstable, industry is in a tizzy, auto sector is preparing for a continuous fall in demand, FMCG sector is forced to cut prices owing to vanishing buyers and a member of the prime ministers economic advisory committee Rathin Roy says that the country is in recession. Niti Ayog chairman Rajiv Kumar is more candid. He says India is facing an economic downturn for the first time in 70 years, a liquidity crisis wherein lenders have stopped funding businesses, resulting in a situation where they have to survive on cash. It’s a grim warning. Do we have solution? It is worse than the disease. The central budget 2019 has several tax-related amendments and new rules that
further tighten the shackles. Whether you are buying life insurance, property or making banking transactions, the new rules that are effective from September 1, will have impact on income and taxes. In short, it means every spender would have to be alert more on maintaining accounts of expenditure than engaging themselves on earnings or spending. The five new commandments of the income tax department would put effective brake on productive activities. It is also Shivaji likely to affect the culture of savings. It has put such a leash that everyone would prefer not to spend. That is wiser for most earners than getting into tormenting net of the tax authorities. The wise men in the government possibly have not visualised that their rules for checking people’s pattern of purchases would effectively throw a spanner. So there are five new rules – TDS on life insurance policy, engaging a professional, even a mason, would need deduction of TDS, have to pay TDS at the time of purchase of immov-
able property, pay TDS on cash withdrawal and banks would keep a continuous watch and report the smallest transactions. Yes, it is an effective police state. One of the first kingdoms that ensured a police state in this country was of Alauddin Khilji. It tightened the administration to keep every individual on check. The governments need to learn from him. Khilji ensured for the sake of his administration, the economy collapsed. India took a hundred years to come out of the morass. The TDS itself is synrome of Sarkar duncertainty that a government suffers. It shows that the system has no faith in the people. So even before he can earn, the government extorts its share. Its rationale is never explained. Why tax a life policy? The state needs to promote it for two reasons – providing a sense of security to the people, increasing savings and help boost the economy. Instead a tax on it, sours mood. It hits insurance sale, savings and ultimately the government itself would be loser. Intelligent move would have been to allow free sale, raise savings for
welfare programmes and earn taxes by boosting the economic activity. The rule would ensure the opposite. The officials possibly believe that whether there is activity or not tax realization must improve. Good. But the real impact would be diminution of activities. At least the rule on TDS on purchase of immovable property would ensure it. The real estate is in problem. If it is allowed sale with strings, there would be reduced buyers. Most genuine buyers do not have enough money to buy. So if TDS is levied, persons short of funds would prefer to skip a deal. One would be paying TDS on club membership, car parking fee, electricity and water facility fees, maintenance fee, advance fee which are incidental to the transfer of a property. It raises price of a property in an inflationary market. The fad for less cash has led to imposition of 2 percent TDS on cash payments of above Rs 1 crore – effective denudation of Rs 2 lakh from one’s account. The subsequent questioning can lead to many heart breaks and depression. This is preposterous. As a nation do we want to
stop spending by instilling fear in the citizenry? The obvious would be further thaw in the market and economy. Sooner such wise steps are done away with is better. The last rule virtually chains citizens. Already the rules demand statement of financial statement (SFT) above Rs 50,000 of transactions in a year. Now the banks have been ordained to report even the smallest transactions. The big brother watches continuously and extorts possibly even what you are not supposed to pay or pay in advance and get into rigmarole of arguments and litigation. It’s a beautiful police state. Unless these wise gems of rules are removed by BJP that had propagated liberalization since 1960s, the economy is headed for a doom. Let the people spend freely and contribute to the economy. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has to intervene to ensure the economy flows freely for the nation to thrive. Quixotic rules must be buried deep. The nation can reach the moon. The economy has also to zip through. It’s possible only if such rules are never formulated.
Post-mortem
NPRAAF response to CIHSR
N
agaland Public Rights Awareness and Action Forum (NPRAAF) appreciate Dr Sedevi Angami for making an effort to respond to NPRAAF press release on Saturday as an employee physician of the Referral Hospital. Even though he is the director of the hospital, it would have been more appropriate if, the EHA or the Christian Institute of Health Sciences Research (CIHSR) board speaks out as and when issue comes out in public domain vis-a-vis the hospital. It should be clearly understood that, CIHSR is the name of the registered society which runs the Referral Hospital. CIHSR is not the hospital in itself and the doctors by designation, contractual or otherwise and other technical and non technical staffs of the hospital is employees of the CIHSR. It is very unfortunate to hear from Dr Sedevi that, “seeking profit does not mean commercializing” if so, what is commercializing without profit. NPRAAF would like to reiterate its earlier statement that, Referral Hospital rates are lower in comparison to other private hospitals. However, the rates should be made more affordable to the poor patients as the hospital is a venture of EHA, CMC Vellore and Govt. of Nagaland without profit motive as enshrined in the tripartite MoU. It is even more appalling and authoritative for Dr Sedevi to say govt must pay subsidy if the CIHSR makes treatment rates more affordable for poor before even the CIHSR board take cognizance of NPRAAF observation. Dr Sedevi specifically pointed out that, Rs,100 per patient is charged for new outpatient consultation without subsidy from external source, just to give the impression that, the hospital is doing great service to the poor patient, however, treatment rates does not only mean consultation fee alone. There are various health investigation charges including Room rent which requires to be made affordable for poor patients. It is worth mentioning that, a green card is also issued to patient with a charge of Rs 250 for outpatient for priority consultation by the referral hospital. Dr Sedevi further added that, staggering Rs.3 crores is spent every year on charity purpose besides subsidizing for poor patient and poor patient bills are written off every day is quite astonishing. NPRAAF will find out the truth of the claim at larger public interest soon. NPRAAF finds it interesting that, a charitable hospital serving
the patients without profit, gives away 3 crores from its annual profit for charity. If the charitable hospital is serving the patients without profit than where is the profit coming from to give away to charity. CIHSR is making profit as was apparent from Dr Sedevi statement itself therefore, NPRAAF demanded to the government to rectify the MoU to make both EHA and CMC accountable for any financial mismanagement besides the state govt, as all the 3 party are signatory to the MoU and are jointly running the CIHSR. and unless CIHSR is a private property there is no harm in rectifying or deleting the clause 1.(j) of the MoU at larger interest which states that, *All legal and financial liabilities that might arise in running of CIHSR will be that of the society. It is unwarranted for the doctor to say that there is no need to rectify the MoU as president of the society (CIHSR) is the chief secretary of Nagaland. NPRAAF fails to understand why the state govt in the CIHSR team should be alone made accountable for any financial mismanagement. This raised doubt that the MoU was hastily and trickily drafted. The response from Dr Sedevi also stated that, only 40% of the patients are from Assam, however he has not accounted patients from other neighboring states besides Assam. NPRAAF is happy that, more patients are coming from outside the states but it will be imperative for the hospital management to take steps to benefit more of local patients in the years to come. NPRAAF would like to clarify that, number of employment in the Referral hospital given out by NPRAAF was based on information made available through source and does not include all the menial workers and even though 400 employed are from Nagaland not all are Nagas even as it claimed. Having said that, NPRAAF would certainly appreciate if the figure given out by the doctor is valid. It is more important to address the issues NPRAAF raised than merely justify everything by confusing and misleading the Nagas who are primary stakeholders of the hospital. NPRAAF on record would also like to clarify that, the CIHSR, as document made available to the high court in 2006 is managed by 7 (seven) members board of directors headed by; (1) Dr. Vargese EHA as chairman board of director (2) Dr PK John EHA (3) Dr B Langkham EHA (4) Secretary
Health & Family Welfare Govt of Nagaland (5) Director H&FW Govt of Nagaland (6) Dr Lionel Gnanaraj CMC Vellore (7) Mr Collin Timms Banker. There are only 2 (two) members in the board of director to CIHSR as evident in the above mentioned list unless more added during the course of years. Therefore to say it has equal representation and voting decide matters relating to hospital would be utterly wrong. NPRAAF however, appreciates Dr Sedevi for admitting that, INR 4,012.92 Lakh amount was used in constructing and reconstructing buildings, buying hospital equipment and so on which made amply clear that, EHA and CMC Vellore did not invest even a rupee in the hospital besides getting the land free of cost. And therefore, the hospital must work with a philanthropic mind and not for profit. The CIHSR must not shift responsibility nor blame the govt. for its wrong management or any financial liabilities that may arise in running of the hospital as the govt has in faith release responsibility to EHA and CMC Vellore by giving away free assets. Even as Govt of Nagaland nominated 2 members in the CIHSR to protect its interest. NPRAAF would like, Dr Sedevi to take note on record that, NPRAAF does not question the integrity of the serving Doctors or the staffs at hospital nor the health care initiatives of the Referral hospital elsewhere and therefore it is not right to project the issue like NPRAAF is aggrieved with the doctors. NPRAAF only said that, referral hospital should not be commercialized and EHA and CMC Vellore should also be made accountable for financial mismanagement and affordable rates for treatment should be made available for poor patient. NPRAAF raised the issue as a vigilant and conscience public forum desiring to see only systematically functioning of the hospital at the larger interest of the patients and does not expect the hospital doctors to engage in confrontation with any organisation. NPRAAF expects CIHSR to take the forum observation in the right spirit and make effort to serve the poor patients, which will go a long way. NPRAAF will support and cooperate with the CIHSR for any positive change it undertakes. However, NPRAAF will continue to remain vigilant to ensure that, all is well in the CIHSR at the service of the poor patients of the state. Information and Publicity Wing NPRAAF, Dimapur
Advantage and disadvantage of mobile phone
I
n this modern generation it seems everywhere we go nowadays we hear the beeping sound of mobile phone. Along with the internet, email, and credit cards, mobile phones have become a central part of modern life. However the question over here is, are they a benefit or a nuisance? Mobile phones changes the way of communication in life by providing easy and fast way of communication. It is mostly used as a communication tool. Mobile phone plays an important role in everyone’s life. It have become a necessity for many people throughout the world. The ability to keep in touch with family, bussiness associates and access to email are only a few of the reasons for the increasing importance of cell phone. Today technically advanced cell phones are capable of not only receiving and placing phone calls, but storing data, taking pictures, and can even be used in many ways. It is not just a mobile phone, it is a computer in our pocket. Our digital importance, our entertainment, and our encyclopedia. All of these things make mobile devices very much important in our live. Since every little thing in this planet has pros and cons. Mobile phones too consists of
numerous merits and demerits. It is an excellent man-made creational technology which is not lacking from our lives. Today, this small gadget has become popular to everybody, since it is very convenient. The advantage of having a mobile phone is you can communicate to your family and your friends no matter where you are. It also helps in the trading market and various office works. Moreover, you can relay with its applications like playing games, listening to music or chats. On the other hand, there are also numerous disadvantage spending a lot of time in mobile phones can harm your brain. Another biggest disadvantages is, for those addicted in gamings, pornography’s, trolling one another etc. In short mobiles are both good and bad. As a student we should know ourselves how to use the mobile phone. Parents have given us the full freedom to use our own mobile phone but it doesn’t mean that we should use 24/7. We should have a proper time table, when to use and when not to. We as student should give more importance to studies instead of spending time in using our mobile phones.

Environment and nature: Saving time
Sir,
It is time to save nature by restoring our environment. This needs two ways to work in parallel but linear and interchangeable manner. First is, we have to minimize non biodegradable waste and its slow toxicity on global health. Eco-friendly bottling innovation like choose water, and other alternatives like flask and other reusable bottles. This also goes for packaging and carrying bags ditto. The second is, simultaneous and quick invention of engines that could recreate and detoxify the environment, and disintegrate the lethal compounds (which goes less noticed) in our biosphere. Of the 260 million tons of plastic dumped yearly, a whopping 10% ends up on ocean. This by itself has its on consequences on marine plants and aquatic life system span. Going the technological revolutionary way can increasingly rebuild the lethal compounds into other reusable resources. But, a little effort to play our part on the ground in such pioneering times is also called for. The adamantine fibres in the soil can also obstruct the process of photosynthesis which would yield less quality food for the plants. Other intuitive methods should involve foolproof contingents to limit entry of such substance in the harvest fields, other than where its uses are. We have lived a primitive life-mode during ancient times, and that itself did not threaten our ecosystem, but can we really trade back our civilization packages, to salvage of what’s left; or continue with random methods until we lose it all? It is time truly to change indeed is a fact. And it could begin right availably from this state we call home.

sector. In his remarks, Adityanath said a land bank of 3,000 acres is available for companies desirous of investing in Uttar Pradesh. It will be for the first time Lucknow will host the exhibition in which delegates of a number of leading countries will participate. It will be held from February 5-8. “The next edition of DefExpo will be different from earlier editions. It will be better, it will be a shining example for such events in future,” Singh said in his opening remarks at the meeting. He said the DefExpo would give a major boost to investments for the defence corridor in Uttar Pradesh. He recalled that during his recent visit to South Korea, several Korean companies had expressed interest in investing in the state.
LUCKNOW, SEP 9 (PTI): Former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Kalyan Singh rejoined the BJP on Monday after completing his term as Rajasthan governor, a constitutional post which offered him immunity from trial for criminal conspiracy in the Babri Masjid demolition case. The 87-year-old leader accepted the party’s membership in the presence of UP BJP chief Swatantra Dev Singh. His son Rajveer Singh, Lok Sabha MP from Etah, and grandson Sandeep Singh, minister of state for finance in Uttar Pradesh, were also present at the party office here. Kalraj Mishra was sworn in as Rajasthan governor on Monday after Singh completed the five-year term as governor of the state. Singh could face trial for criminal conspiracy in the Babri Masjid demolition case as the immunity he enjoyed while holding the
Kalyan Singh (File)
constitutional post does not now exist. On April 19, 2017, the Supreme Court had ordered revival of the criminal conspiracy charges against senior Bharatiya Janata Party leaders L K Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Uma Bharti. It also clarified that Kalyan Singh, who was the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh when the Babri Masjid was demolished in 1992, could not be brought in as accused to face trial as governors enjoyed immunity
under Article 361 of the Constitution. However, the Supreme Court told the CBI to call Kalyan Singh as an accused as soon as he ceases to be the governor. Article 361 of the Constitution confers immunity to the President and governors from criminal and civil cases during their terms of office. Singh may have to face trial unless the Centre appoints him to another constitutional post, it is argued. According to the CBI case against Kalyan Singh, he had given an assurance before the National Integration Council as the then Uttar Pradesh chief minister that he would not allow the demolition. The Supreme Court had permitted only a symbolic “kar sewa” at the disputed site. But he allegedly acted contrary to his assurances, according to the 1997 order of the special judge, Lucknow, subsequent to a CBI charge sheet against him in 1993. The CBI had also alleged that as chief minister, Kalyan Singh did not issue the order for the deployment of central forces. “From this, it seems that prima facie he was a necessary participant in the criminal conspiracy,” the special court had ruled in 1997.

KASARAGOD (KER), SEP 9 (PTI): A 34-year-old non-resident Keralite was booked for allegedly giving triple talaq to his wife through WhatsApp. FIR was registered against B M Ashraf, a native of nearby Kudlu village based on a complaint lodged by his 29year-old wife, hailing from Shiribag, police here said. According to the complaint, the accused, on March 15, had said talaq three times through a voice message sent via WhatsApp, they said. “The accused was said to be in the Gulf when the incident happened. As per the wife’s complaint, the talaq message was sent to her brother’s phone having WhatsApp account,” a police official said. The man has been charged under the Section 4 read with Section 3 of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage)Act, 2019, he said.
communication can be reestablished with the lander,” the official said. “An ISRO team is on the job at the ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC),” he added. The Chandrayaan-2 mission involved an orbiter, lander (Vikram) and rover (Pragyan). The mission was aimed at the Vikram module making a soft landing on the Moon’s uncharted south pole. The mission life of the lander and rover is one lunar day, which is equal to 14 Earth days. ISRO Chairman K Sivan said on Saturday that the space agency would try to restore link with the lander for 14 days. He reiterated the resolve on Monday

However, another ISRO official said chances of restoring a link with the lander were bleak since system functionality was a prerequisite. “Unless and until everything is intact (in the lander), it’s very difficult (to re-establish contact). Chances are less. Only if it had a soft-landing, and if all systems functioned, could communication can be restored. Things are bleak as of now.” Another space agency official added that there might be some chances of restoring communication but there are limitations too. He recalled ISRO’s experience of recovering a spacecraft that went out of contact in geostationary orbit but said the Chandrayaan-2’s lander case was different. Vikram carried three payloads--Radio Anatomy of Moon Bound Hypersensitive Ionosphere and Atmosphere (RAMBHA), Chandra’s Surface Thermo-physical Experiment (ChaSTE) and Instrument for Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA).

NEW DELHI, SEP 9 (PTI): The next edition of India’s mega defence exhibition, the DefExpo, to be held in Lucknow in February, will be better than the previous chapters of biennial event, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Monday. The defence minister held a high-level meeting to review preparations for the 11th edition of the DefExpo. The meeting was attended by Uttar Pradesh C h i e f M i n i s t e r Yo g i Adityanath, Defence Secretary Dr Ajay Kumar, Army Chief Gen Bipin Rawat, Navy Chief Admiral Karambir Singh and several top officials of the Defence Ministry.

Bengaluru, Sep 9 (PTI): Chandrayaan-2’s lander Vikram is unbroken but lying tilted on the surface of the Moon after a hard landing very close to the scheduled touchdown site, an ISRO official said on Monday. Efforts are underway to see whether communication can be re-established with the lander but chances of that could be bleak with full system functionality a prerequisite to restoring contact, officials explained. Contact with Vikram, which encases the rover, Pragyan, was lost in the early hours of September 7, when it was just 2.1 km above the lunar surface and seconds before touchdown. “The lander is there (on the Moon) as a single piece, not broken into pieces. It’s in a tilted position,” an Indian Space Research Organisation official associated with the mission said. Images sent by the orbiter’s on-board camera shows that though the lander hit the lunar surface hard while landing, it is still very close to the scheduled touchdown site. “We are making all-out efforts to see whether

I believe time has come for even the world to say goodbye to single-use plastic,” Modi said.

It was also announced that India will setup a global technical support institute for the member countries of the UNCCD for their capacity building and support regarding the Land Degradation Neutrality. Land degradation neutrality has been defined by the parties to UNCCD as a state whereby the amount and quality of land resources, necessary to support ecosystem functions and services, remains stable or increases within specified temporal and spatial scales and ecosystems. Modi said India would be happy to propose initiatives for greater South-South Cooperation in addressing issues of climate change, biodiversity and land degradation.

The opening session of the segment was also addressed by Javadekar, UN Deputy Secretary General Amina J Mohammad, UNCCD Executive Secretary Ibrahim Thiaw and Ralph Gonsalves, Prime Minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

We have promoted e-vehicles, and increased our green cover as well,” Javadekar said.

GREATER NOIDA, SEP 9 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday announced that India would raise its target for restoring degraded land from 21 million hectare to 26 million hectare by 2030. Days before the UN convention commenced, Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar had announced that India was aiming to restore 50 lakh hectare of its degraded land by 2030. Speaking at the high level segment at the 14th session of the Conference of Parties (COP) to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), Modi said between 2015 and 2017, India’s tree and forest cover increased by 0.8 million hectares. “India looks forward to making effective contribution as we take over COP presidency for two years. We have also increased our tree cover between 2015-17 by 0.8 million hectares. “I would like to announce that India will raise its ambition of the total area that will be restored from its land degradation status -- from 21 million hectare to 26 million hectare between now and 2030,” the prime

Mumbai, Sep 9 (PTI): The rupee pared initial gains to settle almost flat at 71.71 against the US dollar on Monday as rising crude oil prices kept investors edgy. Rising crude oil prices and foreign fund outflows weighed on the domestic currency, forex dealers said. Crude oil spurted 0.44 per cent to USD 61.81 per barrel in anticipation that new Saudi energy minister, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, would push for production cuts. At the interbank foreign exchange market, the local unit witnessed heavy volatility. During the day, the domestic unit shuttled between a high of 71.50 and low of 71.73. The rupee finally settled at 71.71, higher by just 1 paise over its previous close. The rupee has extended gains for the fourth day in a row. The rupee had settled at

New Delhi, Sep 9 (IANS): India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) has announced launch of the Aadhaar-enabled payment services (AePS) for unbanked and under-banked people and said it has made 1 crore customers within one year of operations. Speaking at the first IPPB anniversary celebrations on Monday, Union IT and Communications Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said the bank, which achieved the 1-crore-customer milestone, had been asked to make it to 5 crore customers in the next one year. Referring to the 440 central schemes onboarded to the direct benefit transfer platform, he said they must also be included to the IPPB platform. Stating that ‘inclusive’ is the key mantra of the government, he said the Department of Posts should strive for banking the unbanked, funding the unfunded and securing the unsecured. “Around 34 crore bank accounts have been opened under the PMJDY. Of this, 22 crore belong to the rural people. With the IPPB’s AePS, we now have the ability to provide inter-operable doorstep banking services to account holders of ‘any bank’, including Jan Dhan account holders”, he said.

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) remained net sellers in the capital market, pulling out Rs 188.08 crore on Monday, according to provisional exchange data.

Cheruvu further said that “there have been some comforting signs of the trade war simmering down and the Brexit and Hong Kong protests have eased somewhat though, remains to be seen whether optimism persists.” Going ahead, the European Central Bank (ECB) rate decision, the US CPI and retail sales would be closely watched metrics for forex traders this week.

Mumbai, Sep 9 (IANS): The State Bank of India (SBI) here on Monday announced reduction in the marginal cost of lending rate (MCLR), the fifth in FY20, for loans across tenors. The country’s largest bank will reduce interest rates by 10 basis points (bps) across tenors with effect from September 10. Now the one-year MCLR will come down to 8.15 per cent from 8.25 per cent. After the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) August monetary policy review, this is the second interest rate cut by the SBI. Soon after the August policy review, the SBI had announced a 15bps cut across tenors with effect from August 10. ON Monday, the SBI joined Central Bank of India, Axis Bank, Oriental Bank of Commerce, IDBI Bank and IDFC First Bank in lowering the interest rates on loans. In 2019, the RBI has cut the repo rate by a total of 110bps. But both public and private banks have not lowered the interest rates in the proportion, which has been a grievance of most borrowers. To address the rate cut transmission issue, the RBI announced that all loans sanctioned from October 1, 2019 will have to linked to any of the four external benchmarks.

Pak’s 1st female astronaut Namira congratulates ISRO
KARACHI, SEP 9 (PTI): Amidst the Indo-Pak war of words over Kashmir, Pakistan’s first female astronaut Namira Salim has congratulated India and ISRO for its Chandrayaan-2 mission, saying the attempt to make a landing on the Moon was itself a “giant leap” for South Asia and as well as for the entire global space industry. The Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) plan to soft-land the Chandrayaan-2’s Vikram module on the lunar surface did not go as per script in the early hours of Saturday, with the lander losing communication with ground stations during its final 2.1km descent. Considered as the “most complex” stage of the country’s second expedition to the Moon, the lander was on a powered decent for a soft landing when it lost contact. “I congratulate India and ISRO on its historical attempt to make a successful soft landing of the Vikram lander at the South Pole of the Moon.

lunar mission is indeed a giant leap for South Asia which not only makes the region but the entire global space industry proud,” Salim said in a statement to Karachi-based magazine Scientia. Salim is the first Pakistani to go to space aboard the Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic. She said the regional developments in the space sector in South Asia are remarkable. “Regional developments in the Space sector in South Asia are remarkable and no matter which nation leads-in space, all political boundaries dissolve and in space-what unites us, overrides, what divides
us on Earth,” she said. Her comments came amid the ongoing war of words between India and Pakistan ever since India withdrew Jammu and Kashmir’s special status and bifurcated it into two union territories on August 5. What was once the club of a select few elite space nations, is now open to all nations at the dawn of our NewSpace age. India is the first country to attempt a historic landing on the South Pole of the Moon and would have been the fourth nation to touch down on the lunar surface after space agencies of the USSR, the USA and China to have operated a rover on the Moon, according to the magazine. While ISRO failed in making the Vikram module a soft landing on the moon, ISRO chairman K Sivan on Sunday said, “Yes, we have located the lander on the lunar surface. It must have been a hard-landing”. Salim, who is based in Monaco and Dubai, is the founder and executive chairperson of Space Trust, a non-profit initiative.
Hong Kong tells US to stay out; students form protest chains HONG KONG, SEP 9 (AP): Thousands of students formed human chains outside schools across Hong Kong on Monday to show solidarity after violent weekend clashes to push for democratic reforms in the semiautonomous Chinese territory. The silent protest comes as the Hong Kong government condemned the “illegal behavior of radical protesters” and warned the US to stay out of its affairs. Thousands of demonstrators held a peaceful march Sunday to the US Consulate to seek Washington’s support, but violence erupted later in the day in a business and retail district as protesters vandalized subway stations, set fires and blocked traffic, prompting police to fire tear gas. Hong Kong’s government agreed last week to withdraw an extradition bill that sparked a summer of protests, but demonstrators want other demands to be met, including greater democracy. Protesters in their Sunday march appealed to President Donald Trump to “stand with Hong Kong” and ensure Congress pass a bill that proposes economic sanctions and penalties on
Hong Kong and China officials found to suppress democracy and human rights in the city. Hong Kong’s government expressed regret over the US bill, known as the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act. It said in a statement Monday that “foreign legislatures should not interfere in any form in the internal affairs” of Hong Kong. The government said it was “very much in Hong Kong’s own interest to maintain our autonomy to safeguard our interests and advantages under the ‘one country, two systems’ principle” after the former British colony returned to Chinese rule in 1997. US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a statement last week that Hong Kong residents deserve real autonomy and freedom from fear. She urged an end to police violence against protesters and said Congress looks forward to “swiftly advancing” the Hong Kong bill. The unrest has become the biggest challenge to Beijing’s rule since it took over Hong Kong, and an embarrassment to its ruling Communist party ahead of Oct. 1 celebrations of its 70th year in power.

New Saudi oil minister endorses production cuts
A BU D H A B I , S E P 9 (AFP): Saudi Arabia’s new energy minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman on Monday reportedly endorsed curbing oil output to address an oversupply, as major producing nations prepare to deliberate fresh cuts. In his first comments since being appointed by his father King Salman on Sunday, the minister signalled no major change in
approach in Saudi Arabia, the de facto leader of OPEC which pumps about a third of the cartel’s oil. “The pillars of our oil policy are pre-determined and will not change,” he said according to Saudi broadcaster Al-Arabiya. The prince is in Abu Dhabi to attend the World Energy Congress, followed by a meeting on Thursday of the OPEC+ alliance’s
Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC), which monitors a supply cut deal reached last year. The ministers will consider fresh cuts, even though analysts are doubtful such a move would succeed in bolstering crude prices which have been badly dented by the US-China trade war. However, Prince Abdulaziz appeared to swing his support behind further

The OPEC petroleum exporters’ cartel and key non-OPEC members want to halt a slide in prices that has continued despite previous production cuts and US sanctions that have
squeezed supply from Iran and Venezuela. Analysts say the JMMC has limited options when it meets in Abu Dhabi. UAE Energy Minister Suheil al-Mazrouei said Sunday the group would do “whatever necessary” to rebalance the crude market, but admitted that the issue was not entirely in the hands of the world’s top producers.

Kylie Minogue becomes most Adam Lambert responds to rumours of a new Queen album viewed Glastonbury performance R umours of a new Queen album began to circulate after a social media post by Brian May last week – but the band’s current frontman, Adam Lambert, has doused the speculation, saying he “know[s] nothing” about a new record. On September 3, May posted to Instagram screenshots of “a video message [he] made for an ad – which you might see later – for an album – to be announced later !!” As Blabbermouth reports, Lambert addressed the speculation in a recent interview with Alan Light
on Sirius XM Volume’s Debatable. “I saw a news story about that,” Lambert said. “I know nothing about it.” He also noted that given May’s long-running passion for stereoscopic photography, which yielded the 2017 book Queen in 3-D, the word “album” could conceivably refer to a photo album, instead of an album of songs. “The word ‘album’ could mean photo album, because he does do the stereoscope thing, he does lots of little projects he’s working on,” Lambert said. “He’s working on a thing on space… I don’t know
what it means, I haven’t asked him.” “[It’s] news to me,” Lambert added. “Haven’t talked to him about it, I have to ask. I should
text him, ‘What album?!’” Hear the interview snippet below. On September 27, Lambert will release a new EP, ‘VELVET: Side A’, which he described
to NME as an attempt to “wipe the slate clean” for “a new beginning and a new era”. In July, May praised Lambert as a “modern marvel”, calling him “the reason that [Queen is] still alive as a functioning rock band”. Last month, Lambert and Queen wrapped up the North American tour of their Rhapsody tour in Charlotte, North Carolina. They will tour Korea, Japan, New Zealand and Australia in January and February 2020. (NME)

Australia’s 185-run win in Manchester confirmed that they will keep the urn but despite the disappointment, Root is keen to continue as skipper. “Definitely, yes,” he said when asked if he felt he was the right man for the job. “Whenever you lose a series it hurts and I have to take that on the chin. It’s still very raw. You have to look at areas you want to get better at, both in yourself and as a team.” “But I have been given a fantastic opportunity to captain the Test side and will continue to work very hard doing my best at that,” said Root.

ing an improbably target of 398 runs. Test debutant Zahir Khan struck off the first ball of the day’s play by removing captain Shakib Al Hasan for 44 with Bangladesh reaching 143 for 6 in 46.3 overs at Tea. Rashid Khan struck thrice in the final session, removing Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam and Soumya Sarka to complete his second five-wicket haul in the match and end with 6 for 49 in the second innings. He finished with match figures of 10 wickets for 104 runs. Earlier, the fourth day had come to a premature end because of rain, which delayed the start and interrupted play several times. Left-arm spinner Zahir Khan took 2-36 and began Bangladesh’s slide with the wicket of opener Liton Das lbw for nine. Mosaddek Hossain, promoted to No. 3 for Bangladesh in place of Mominul Haque, played an expensive cut shot against a turning delivery from Zahir and was
caught for 12. Rashid baffled Mushfiqur (23) with a googly and added the wickets of Mominul Haque for 3 and Mahmudullah for 7 to run through Bangladesh’s middle order. Bangladesh lost 4-47 in that period. Afghanistan had managed to post 342 in their first innings with Rahmat Shah top-scoring with 102 runs. He as ably supported by former captain Asghar Afghan, who made 92, while Rashid Khan (51) and Afsar Zazai (41) also making useful contributions.

Nadal wins US Open title Aus beat Eng in 4th Test to retain the Ashes
Rafael Nadal with the trophy after defeating Daniil Medvedev in US Open final.
N E W YO R K , S e p 9 (Agencies): Rafael Nadal survived a heroic Daniil Medvedev fightback to claim an epic 7-5 6-3 5-7 4-6 6-4 win and a fourth U.S. Open title on Sunday, moving within one Grand Slam crown of matching Roger Federer’s record of 20. A routine end to the Flushing Meadows fortnight looked on the cards when Nadal, already two sets up, broke for a 3-2 lead over the tall Russian in the third with the 19th Grand Slam title apparently in the bag. From that point, however, the match was transformed into a near five-hour thriller as Medvedev staged a comeback that left the Spaniard shaken and Arthur Ashe Stadium buzzing. “An amazing final – seemed that I had the match more or less, it has been one of the most emotional nights in my tennis career,” Nadal said. “This victory means a lot especially because of the way the match became so difficult, so tough. These type of matches in the final
of a Grand Slam make them special.” The 33-year-old lefthander became second oldest U.S. Open champion in the professional era behind Australian Ken Rosewall, who was 35 when he lifted the title in 1970. Not once since 1949 had a player come back from two sets down to win the U.S. Open final but Medvedev, cheered loudly by a crowd that booed him mercilessly earlier in the week, came close on the back of some brilliant tennis. On the ropes with Medvedev looking to deliver the knockout blow, Nadal showed once again why he is the game’s greatest fighter and he lifted himself off the canvas to scrap his way to the title. The quality of tennis in the final three sets was breathtaking at times, the long rallies swinging back and forth with neither player prepared to give up a single point without stretching every sinew. After watching Med-
vedev erase his lead with a rasping backhand service return to win the fourth set, a rattled Nadal finally regrouped in the fifth and secured an early break to get in front 3-2. The killer instinct Nadal has honed over nearly two decades at the top of the game then surfaced as he held serve and added yet another break to take control at 5-2. The drama was not over yet. Medvedev hit back one more time with a break of his own and a hold of serve to cut the advantage to 5-4 and the prospect of the Russian winning a major title with his first career five-set victory was briefly back on. In the end, Nadal needed three championship points to finally see off his opponent after making no mistake with his second attempt to serve for the title. The Spaniard let out a mighty roar when the Russian’s final return sailed long before falling on his back to soak up the cheers of an appreciative crowd.
Manchester, Sep 9 (AP): Australia retained the Ashes after beating England by 185 runs in the final session of the fourth test at Old Trafford on Sunday. Josh Hazlewood claimed the winning wicket, trapping Craig Overton lbw, as Australia dismissed England’s second innings for 197 deep into the evening session to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. The fifth and final test in cricket’s oldest regular international series starts September 12 at The Oval. Australia star batter Steve Smith was player of the match - and the major difference between the two teams - with scores of 211 and 82. England resumed Day 5 on 18-2, went to lunch on 87-4 and tea on 166-6. Jack Leach, who scored a 51-ball 12, was promoted to No. 10 and batted for an hour with England fans hoping for a repeat of his third test heroics, or even bad light. Australia held on to the Ashes in England for the first time in 18 years. It thrashed England by 251 runs in the opening test at
Edgbaston, the second test at Lord’s was drawn before England won at Headingley by one wicket to level the series 1-1. Pacer Pat Cummins finished with 4-43 off 24 overs. He bowled Jason Roy (31) in the 18th over of the day, knocking over his off stump, and then claimed the key wicket of Ben Stokes. That left England in deep trouble on 74-4. Joe Denly scored 53 off 112 balls. However Jonny Bairstow and Jos Buttler came together and steadily took the score to 138-5 after 53 overs as Paine turned to part-time bowlers Labuschagne and Travis Head in the hope of breaking their concentration. But it was Starc (1-46) that made the next breakthrough when he won an lbw verdict against Bairstow for 25. That left England 138-6, with Australia needing just four more wickets to retain the Ashes. Australia thought it had removed Overton with the first ball after tea as Labuschagne grasped a catch fielding close to the bat but the ball had hit the body.
Australia players celebrate after winning the fourth test and retaining the Ashes.
Buttler misjudged the line off Hazlewood (2-31) and was bowled leaving the ball. His removal for 34 left England 172-7 and needing a rearguard from the tail. Jofra Archer did not last long, scoring only one before being trapped lbw by Lyon with a ball that kept low. Overton formed a stubborn ninth-wicket partnership with Leach, taking the score to 195-8 off 85 overs,
with 20 remaining in the day. Australia was unhappy with what they perceived as time-wasting tactics from the England pair but Leach’s resistance came to an end after Paine turned to Labuschagne’s leg-spin. Leach offered a simple catch to Matthew Wade close in. The game ended when Hazlewood trapped Overton lbw, ending his stubborn innings of 105 balls for 21.
The England man called for a review but the decision stood. Brief scores: Australia 497/8d (Steve Smith 211, Marnus Labuschagne 67; Stuart Broad 3/97) & 186/6d (Steve Smith 82, Matthew Wade 34; Jofra Archer 3/45) vs England 301 (Rory Burns 81, Joe Root 71; Josh Hazlewood 4/57) & 197 (Joe Denly 53, Jos Buttler 34; Pat Cummins 4/43)
