“Our people are suffering much....the landslides have virtually changed the maps of various hill stations including the state capital Kohima. Several known neighbourhood localities like Naga Bazaar are changed today. You may not recognise the new Kohima town,” he said.

the Nagaland government is accepting a Central funding of Rs 400 crore at least as immediate relief.

Ranjan Gogoi appointed next CJI NEW DELHI, SEP 13 (PTI): Justice Ranjan Gogoi was Thursday appointed as the 46th Chief Justice of India, according to the Law Ministry. Justice Ranjan Gogoi would assume office on October 3 after present incumbent Dipak Misra retires a day before. Justice Gogoi will have a tenure of a little over 13 months and would retire on November 17, 2019. President Ramnath Kovind signed warrants of appointment of Justice Gogoi following which a notification announcing his appointment was issued. Born on November 18, 1954, Justice Gogoi was enrolled as an advocate in 1978. He practised in the Gauhati High Court on constitutional, taxation and company matters. He was appointed as a permanent judge of the Gauhati

Justice Ranjan Gogoi

High Court on February 28, 2001. On September 9, 2010, he was transferred to the Punjab and Haryana High Court. He was appointed as Chief Justice of Punjab and Haryana High Court on February 12, 2011 and then a judge of the Supreme Court on April 23, 2012. Justice Misra had earlier this month recommended Justice Gogoi as his successor as per established practice of naming the senior-most judge after the CJI for the post.

Speculation over Justice Justice Gogoi’s appointment as the next CJI arose after the court’s four most senior judges, including Justice Gogoi, called a press conference in January and criticised Justice Misra on various issues, especially the manner of allocation of cases to certain benches. Justices J Chelameswar (since retired), Madan B Lokur and Kurian Joseph were the others who addressed the press conference, perhaps a first in the history of the Indian judiciary. According to the Memorandum of Procedure, which governs the appointment of members of the higher judiciary, “appointment to the office of the Chief Justice of India should be of the seniormost judge of the Supreme Court considered fit to hold the office”.

KNO is one of the two umbrella bodies of several Kuki based militant groups maintaining tripartite suspension of operation (SoO) truce with Centre and Manipur government. “We will not hesitate to go back to the jungle if no concrete response is received from the government of India regarding our demands in the next round of peace talks,” KNO president PS Haokip told media persons on the occasion to mark the 25th “Kuki Black Day (SahnitNi)”, in memory of those who were allegedly killed in the genocide by NSCN (I-M) during 1992-1997. Haokip said that KNO will never endorse the formation of territorial council. The only demand of the KNO was a formation of a separate state for the Kukis, he said. Formation of territorial council was agreed in the talks during the then UPA government at the Centre. After the BJP-led NDA government came to power, it was decided

Aizawl, Sep 13 (Agencies): Mizoram Governor Kummanam Rajasekharan on Wednesday said that the availability of raw materials, changing lifestyles and appropriate policies in Mizoram has given ample scope for Startups and MSMEs in Food Processing sector, UNI reported. Speaking at a ‘Conference on Startups and MSMEs in Food Processing’ organized by ASSOCHAM in collaboration with Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI), NABARD and Mizoram University, Rajasekharan said the food processing industry has emerged as one of the important segment in terms of its contribution to Indian economy and is one of the major employment intensive industries and serves as a vital link between the agriculture and industrial segments of the economy. He said, Mizoram is endowed with various sorts of fruits, vegetables, and other agro-products, and there are immense opportunities present in food processing in the State. He highlighted that different agro based boards headquartered in Kerala have agreed to come and help the concerned people develop the sector. The chief guest said, development of the food processing industry will lead to generation of huge income and thereby lead towards self sufficiency

to further the talks. “For this the Centre had appointed interlocutor and talks has already been initiated. In the latest talks, KNO had submitted its 45-point charter of demands to the Central government,” he said. “Government of India was considering their (NSCN-IM’s) demand. At this stage, why should Centre not come up with a positive response on our demands”, Haokip added. Alleging that Centre was yet to take up step to deliver justice to the victims

of NSCN (I-M)’s genocidal campaign against the Kuki, he asked why Centre was remaining silent till date. Haokip alleged that government used to pay compensation to the victims of any tragedy or any other natural disasters but had failed to compensated the victims of the alleged genocidal act of the NSCN (I-M). Fur ther, the KNO president clarified that they were not against the “Nagas but against the act of the NSCN (I-M) led by Th Muivah”. Meanwhile, Kukis

across the state hoisted black flag in their respective houses to mark the occasion. The main observance function was held at Kuki Inpi Churachandpur campus at Tuibong, Churachandpur where thousands of Kukis from across the state took part. Leaders of Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM), KNO and UPF who talked on the occasion said that the observation of the day was not against any particular community but to seek justice to the victims of the genocide.

of the State. He also said the initiative taken by ASSOCHAM will act as a first step in identifying the challenges, thus providing a roadmap for all the stakeholders to work on. Prof. KRS Sambasiva Rao, vice chancellor of Mizoram University emphasized on the need to expose the local talent to different technologies and schemes available. He said the budding entrepreneurs would then have a sense of the industry and become motivated. He said, a proposal has been submitted to the State government for creation of a technological and innovation park on a public private partnership (PPP) mode, inviting entrepreneurs from all over the country and thus generate employment. He said the Mizoram University was willing to take mentorship on this front and guide the local entrepreneurs. He also said that Mizoram has huge potential on foods, fruits, spices, flowers and even beverages which has a good export value. Chetan Vij, assistant director of ASSOCHAM gave a welcome address while RK Srivastava, general manager of NABARD Mizoram presented a banking perspective on different financial assistance and schemes available for the entrepreneurs.

NRC: AAMSU sit-in protest

IOC mulls giving 5-kg cylinders to counter strike in Assam

GUWAHATI, SEP 13 (AGENCIES): All Assam Minorities Students’ Union (AAMSU) on Thursday staged a two-hour sit-in demonstration in Guwahati against NRC state coordinator Prateek Hajela for striking out five of the 15 documents listed for inclusion of names in the final NRC by following ‘political dictation’ of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Northeast Now reported. AAMSU alleged that the BJP has been ‘harassing’ people in the name of NRC. Talking to Northeast Now, AAMSU advisor Azizur Rahman said, “It is clearly mentioned in the Citizenship (Registration of Citizens and Issue of National

Identity Cards) Rules, 2003 (amended in 2009) that name of a person will be included in the NRC if his/ her name appears in any electoral roll prior to 1971 or in National Register of Citizens, 1951.” “Prateek Hajela suggested the Supreme Court to exclude both the vital document – 1951 NRC and electoral roll 1971 which AAMSU would never tolerate,” Rahman said. The state NRC coordinator Prateek Hajela suggested the Supreme Court to exclude five documents including 1951 NRC, electoral roll of 1971, citizenship certificate, refugee certificate before 1971 and ration card before 1971 out

Guwahati, Sep 13 (PTI): With LPG cylinder carriers on an indefinite strike in Assam, Indian Oil Corporation Thursday said it is considering supplying 5 kg cylinders to distributors for sale at the gates of its bottling plants. The North East Packed LPG Transporter Association (NEPLTA) began an indefinite strike from September 9 with several demands regarding the latest tender floated by the PSU giant. N E P LTA o p e r a t e s around 3,000 tr ucks to transport LPG cylinders from IOC’s six plants at North Guwahati, Sarpara, Bongaigaon, Duliajan, Gopanari and Silchar to various distributors across Assam. “Due to the strike, stocks at distributor points have almost dried up. We are trying to handle the situation so that common people are not affected. We are now considering to give the 5 kg free trade LPG units to distributors, who will sell them at the plant gates,” Indian Oil Corporation Chief General Manager (IndianOil-AOD) Uttiya Bhattacharyya told PTI here. Because of the strike, loading and supplying of finished cylinders from the company’s six bottling plants in Assam has fully stopped during the last five

days, he added. “Besides, we will make available these non-subsidised small cylinders at retail fuel stations. It will be slightly expensive, but our effort is that the kitchen should continue to run at homes,” Bhattacharyya said. When contacted, NEPLTA President Niranjan Mahanta said the union will continue with its protest unless their demands are met. “There has been no concrete effort from the IOC to solve the issues. We have three simple demands -- shift the tender process from Kolkata to Guwahati, hike the rates by 50 per cent from the existing contract and there should not be any priority given to the distributors,” he added. Countering the arguments given by the association, a senior IOC official looking after LPG business in Assam said the rates offered in the new tender process are at par with the existing rates. “The period of contract has been increased to five years from three years at present. This will give more benefits like less amount of EMI and longer periodicity of business. On shifting of tender process, it is immaterial because this is a complete online system. No physical presence is needed at all,” the official informed.

difference.”. The CM further stated, “We have ensured that if we have 10 agendas, 5 will be for education; Likewise if there are 20 agendas, 10 will be devoted for the purpose of education. But let me tell you that this task is a herculean one. We would love to transform the educational scenario of the state in a matter of few years but we do face a lot of hurdles and challenges”. The CM also informed that the state’s education policy is on the verge of completipn and will be released by the end of this month itself. The education policy will give a clear cut direction on how the state governmnet would like to take the education forward in the state. In this regard, he said, “If we look at the educational scenario of Meghalaya, we see that there are not enough educational institutions to cater to the needs of a huge population of young people who are in need of quality education. Meghalaya’s biggest assets are its children and youth are going to be the future of our state”.

Agartala, Sep 13 (PTI): Tripura government has identified over 60000 counterfeit ration cards and 2,90,776 fake PDS consumers in a digitization drive by the state government, its Law Minister Ratan Lal Nath has said. The government is focussed on digitization and e-government services as part of its move to end corruption and bring accountability in public services, he said here on Wednesday. “We conducted a verification through a digitization drive and found that 62,340 ration cards and 2,90,776 PDS consumers are fake,” Nath said. In Tripura a ration card is given to a family and not an individual and includes names of all members of the family. There were a total 9,62,046 ration cards registered during the erstwhile Left Front government. But the incumbent BJPIPFT government which assumed office in the state on March 9 this year found only 8,99,706 cards among them genuine, the minister said.

S H I LLO N G, S e p 1 3 (Agencies): The High Court of Meghalaya has assessed the progress of the work at Umroi airport on Wednesday and listed it for hearing again on September 25, The Shillong Times reported. The division bench comprising Chief Justice Mohammad Yaqoob Mir and Judge SR Sen examined the status report and it was revealed that for the purpose of land required for approach funnel of clusters II and III, the government sanctioned Rs 18,17,93,458. The Transport Commissioner has been asked to disburse the money to the land owners. The court granted exemption from the purview of the Meghalaya Transfer of Land (Regulation) Act, 1971, for purchase of land on behalf of the state government.

While ruing the fact that there are many children in the interior villages of Meghalaya studying in schools which do not even basic facilities, the CM expressed the concern of the state government in this regard. “We are trying our level best to change this fact but again, there are limitations and challenges. Since many of our schools in rural areas are in dire need of help, hence I want to appeal to officers, successful businessmen and senior politicians to try and identify and adopt a school in rural areas in whatever capacity they can.

5 underground activists arrested in Manipur Correspondent

IMPHAL, Sep 13: Five underground activists including NSCN (I-M) cadre were apprehended by police and security forces during separate counter insurgency operations in Manipur. One pistol loaded with eight live rounds was recovered from the suspected NSCN (I-M) cadre identified as Keisang Kamei son of Keipisim Kamei of Bhalok village of Tamenglong district. He was arrested by 23 Assam Rifles from New Sibilong area of Noney district on Thursday. Police commandos attached with Imphal West district police have also arrested a cadre of PLA later identified as Kshetrimayum Rupachandra aka Dilimu (23) son of Ksh Ibochou of Top Khongnangmakhong on Wednesday. Police alleged that he was involved in carrying out various prejudi-

cial activities like extortion of money from government officials, general public, businessmen and also in recruiting new cadres of the outfit. The same police commando unit also arrested a “self styled sergeant major” of UNLF during a search operation inside the Imphal ISBT (Inter-State Bus Terminus) complex on Wednesday evening. He was identified as Huidrom Kapil aka Mongyangba Singh (32) of Singjamei Kongba Road, a statement of the state police PRO said today. Two cadres of KCP (Noyon group) were also arrested in other counter insurgency operation at Kombirei Bazar area of Imphal West district on Tuesday, PRO said.

of 15 admissible documents for inclusion of names in the NRC. Rahman, while demanding the apex court to nullify Hajela’s suggestion to exclude five documents from the list, said, “AAMSU respects Assam Accord and wants an error free NRC on the basis of the historic accord.” Lashing out the BJP over the government’s move to implement the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, Rahman said, “On the one hand, BJP says that Assam Accord is the soul of NRC and on the other hand, it strives to implement the vexatious Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016.”

bench can make a great difference”. He also urged the MLAs and political leaders to try and sacrifice their one month salary for the upliftment of such schools in rural Meghalaya. “I am starting this from myself and will be giving my one month’s salary for a school located in the hinterland of the state. I will provide whaetever is necessary and what I can to help the school”, the CM said while adding that, ” If there is a movement in this line from even the common man who wish to donate whatever they can, we as a society can collectively make a huge

BJP’s tribal wing seeks ending ties with ally IPFT in Tripura Agartala, Sep 13 (PTI): Signalling growing strain between the coalition partners, Janajati Morcha, the ruling BJP’s tribal wing in Tripura, Thursday demanded immediate severing of ties with the Indigenous Peoples Front of Tripura (IPFT). Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state Janajati Morcha president Sanjoy Debbarma said IPFT was creating “chaos” across the state over different issues. Development works of the state government have been hit due to their activities. We have demanded Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb to remove them from the ministry and severe all ties with them, Debbarma told PTI. He said the chief minister gave them a patient hearing and said the agreement with IPFT was finalised by BJP’s central leadership and they would be consulted regarding the demand. BJP and IPFT jointly secured 44 seats in the 60member state assembly in the February 18 elections and formed government, ending 25 years of CPI(M)led Left Front rule in the north eastern state. BJP secured 36 seats i.e. more than the majority mark. IPFT, which emerged victorious in 8 seats, was later allotted two berths in

the state cabinet. Differences between the BJP and its regional partner IPFT surfaced in the run up to panchayat bypolls, with a series of clashes reported between the workers of the ruling allies over submission of nominations. The by-polls are slated for September 30. When contacted, BJP state vice president and Janajati Morcha leader Rampada Jamatia accused IPFT supporters of attacking his house at Killa in Gomati district Wednesday. He also alleged that the house of MLA of Golaghati constituency in Sipahijala district, Birchandra Debbarma was also attacked by IPFT supporters. Debbarma had filed a complaint and an FIR was lodged. IPFT supporters held attacks on his family to force him to withdraw the FIR. They are also involved in criminal offenses in different parts of the state. We have demanded that legal action be taken against them and the alliance with IPFT be severed immediately, Jamatia said. Reacting to the issue, IPFT spokesperson and assistant general secretary Mangal Debbarma said, “If they want to severe ties with us, it is their prerogative and we would not object. The

BJP supporters started the clashes and later blamed the IPFT”. He alleged that a section of tribal leaders of the BJP had hatched a conspiracy against IPFT to oust them from the government to grab the cabinet berths. IPFT supremo N C Debbarma is the Tripura Revenue Minister and party general secretary Mevar Kumar Debbarma is the state Tribal Welfare Department Minister. If we leave the alliance, two posts in the cabinet will become vacant and indigenous leaders in BJP can grab those seats. They are plotting to disturb the alliance for this reason, Mangal Debbarma said. The indigenous leader also claimed that IPFT joined hands with BJP in the state government to strengthen their movement for separate Tipraland. Tipraland is a proposed separate state for indigenous communities of Tripura. IPFT was floated in 1997 with the demand. We want Tipraland and shall continue to struggle for that. We do not care how many seats we get in the government. If the BJP thinks they can run the government without us, so be it. They have single majority. But the indigenous people are with us, Mangal said.

Manik Sarkar lambasts BJP

Agartala, Sep 13 (Agencies): The former Chief Minister of Tripura Manik Sarkar said in Agartala on Wednesday that democracy is being ‘murdered’ in the State. Accusing the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of destroying democratic rights in the State, Sarkar, who served as the Chief Minister for 20 years since 1998, told a press conference at the CPI (M) State headquarters that ‘individual rights, civil liberties and human rights have been damaged under BJP rule’. Sarkar, who served as Chief Minister for 20 years since 1998, told a press conference at CPI (M) state headquarters that a series of clashes centering forthcoming three-tier panchayat by-polls. Sarkar also alleged massive political violence on Opposition supporters, especially those from CPI (M), and said ruling BJP activists are trying to ‘silence the voice of the Opposition’. “The BJP grabbed power by hatching conspiracies and ploys. People are gradually

realizing it now,” Manik Sarkar said and added that common people wouldn’t stay silent for long. “Elected public representatives were forced to resign from their positions.

Over 50 per cent of seats in three-tier Panchayat bodies went vacant within five months of the new Government. By-election was announced but Opposition supporters were barred from submitting nomination papers. Those who collected nomination papers were attacked and their houses ransacked. This is an unnatural by-election,” he said. The four-time Chief Minister appealed to the BJP-IPFT Government in Tripura to ‘restore peace’ and ensure that people can exercise their democratic rights without fear.

Humbled and humiliated

fter the latest thrashing at the hands of England in the five-match test series in England, the flashy, starry and much hyped Indian cricket team has been forced to bite the dust. The 4-1 thrashing of the self hyped ‘superstars’ by a consistent and thoroughly professional English team will force the selectors to do some serious thinking about all facets of the Indian team. Of course, the weakness of the Indians was exposed even in previous test matches but the Indians cut a sorry figure in all the test matches barring the lone win at Trent Bridge. For ‘Kohli’s boys’ they will do well to remember that no test side has suffered as many losses in the last 10 years in England than team India. In batting and bowling stats too, India is languishing near the very bottom. Well, Kohli may be the world’s number 1 and even slide down to number 2 etc but he alone cannot make up for the rest. The thrashing at the Oval marked the eleventh test match that India has lost in England in the past decade. Among the eight test-cricket playing nations that have travelled to England in the past 10 years, India reportedly has the highest number of losses. Whichever way one cuts the data, India in England in the past decade, compared to other sides, is a very sorry tale. In England in the past decade, India have been abysmal in all facets of the game. On the bowling side, the English batsmen have averaged 47 per wicket against India during this period. This is, once again, the second-worst, after Bangladesh. To put this in perspective, the sides that have achieved some level of success have restricted English batsmen to an average in the mid-30s: for example, English batsmen averaged 31 against South Africa and 32 against Australia. The weakness of the Indian batsmen to outswingers on bouncy pitches was more than exposed when the played on the up in front of the pad and either got out LBW or nicked to slips. In India, the Indians are great because the pitches as non bouncy and flat pitches which does not allow much swinging. The greatest weakness of the Indians was ironically Virat Kohli as the team was over dependent psychologically and physically on his performance. Cricket is played like a team just as how England did. But India played like a bunch who pinned their hopes on a few. When KL Rahul , Murali Vijay, Shikhar Dhawan, Dinesh Karthik and Ajinkya Rahane were inconsistent, how could the team put up a good total? The bowling department was short of another pacer since Pandya failed to shine. The Indians should be asking themselves if they went prepared or simply were over complacent with their performances at home in familiar surroundings?. The fact is that the Indians lacked practise and planning before heading for England and that was the main reason made them perform like a bunch of college kids who were kicked and thrashed humiliatingly like never before. After the humiliating defeat in England, the Indian selectors have to realise that Virat may be a performer but he is not an astute and matured leader. Now that Ravi Shastri has been humbled perhaps he must also accept the blame and make way for another coach.

DailyDevotion After Surrender— Then What?

I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. —John 17:4 True surrender is not simply surrender of our external life but surrender of our will— and once that is done, surrender is complete. The greatest crisis we ever face is the surrender of our will. Yet God never forces a person’s will into surrender, and He never begs. He patiently waits until that person willingly yields to Him. And once that battle has been fought, it never needs to be fought again. Surrender for Deliverance. “Come to Me…and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). It is only after we have begun to experience what salvation really means that we surrender our will to Jesus for rest. Whatever is causing us a sense of uncertainty is actually a call to our will— “Come to Me.” And it is a voluntary coming. Surrender for Devotion. “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself…” (Matthew 16:24). The surrender here is of my self to Jesus, with His rest at the heart of my being. He says, “If you want to be My disciple, you must give up your right to yourself to Me.” And once this is done, the remainder of your life will exhibit nothing but the evidence of this surrender, and you never need to be concerned again with what the future may hold for you. Whatever your circumstances may be, Jesus is totally sufficient (see 2 Corinthians 12:9 and Philippians 4:19). Surrender for Death. “…another will gird you…” (John 21:18; also see John 21:19). Have you learned what it means to be girded for death? Beware of some surrender that you make to God in an ecstatic moment in your life, because you are apt to take it back again. True surrender is a matter of being “united together [with Jesus] in the likeness of His death” (Romans 6:5) until nothing ever appeals to you that did not appeal to Him. And after you surrender— then what? Your entire life should be characterized by an eagerness to maintain unbroken fellowship and oneness with God.

Post-mortem

Working together to prevent suicide T Y hese should always be taken seriously. Many actual suicides are suicide gestures or cries for help that go very wrong. Always act on the cry for help, however insignificant you feel the cause of the threat is. We are dealing with clients who are in pain and their perceptions which are not necessarily close to everyday reality. In the majority of cases an actual suicide is the result of a temporary mental aberration or instability – the person is just off balance rather than insane. An anxious event or something quite small pushes the person beyond his limits of personal normal functioning and control. There are social pressures too, that increase the likelihood of suicide. Usually people don’t just wake up one morning and decide to kill themselves; there is generally a history of threat or hints that suicide is an option. If the person has some rudimentary plan such as time, place and method, then the threat is very real and you would be wise to obtain professional help as quickly as possible. Here are some further suggestions that may help you cope whilst you are securing professional support: Avoid platitude and treat the issue as very real. Take the person and his declarations as if he means what he says. Do not attempt to negotiate. Sometimes people commit suicide as a form of retribution or paying back someone else – to make them feel sorry. In such cases do not dwell on that person or how they might react to the intended suicide but rather keep the focus of the conversation on the suicidal person. Give the person your total

regard and listen to him – using plenty of summary statements – so that you can show in a very real way that you understand his position, feelings and emotions. Many, especially young people, harm themselves because there has been a breakdown in communications with those who are significant in their lives. Coupled with this intense listening, refrain from making any judgmental comments or indeed trying to negotiate or talk them around. They will see what you are doing and you will lose their trust. It is far better to keep them talking until they are all talked out. If it looks as if the person really is going to kill himself then you move from being nondirective and get the person to hospital or a crisis centre and/ or notify the police as soon as possible. Tell the person that you understand that he is in real psychological pain but that this will pass with time and that he must hang on and give himself a chance. This is the only area where you will not be expected to be bound by the confidentiality protocols. You have every right to prevent someone harming himself or others and this overrides any contract you have with the individual. Once the event is over and the person is safe you will enjoy his positive regard again, which is worth all possible irrational anger at the time. Conclusion: Everyone can make a contribution in preventing suicide. Suicidal behaviour is universal, knows no boundaries so it affects everyone. The millions of people affected each year by suicidal behaviour have exclusive insight and unique voices. Their experiences are invaluable for

informing suicide prevention measures and influencing the provision of supports for suicidal people and those around them. The involvement of people with lived experience of suicide in research, evaluation and intervention should be central to the work of every organisation addressing suicidal behaviour. “Every day, we lose many lives to suicide, and many more are profoundly impacted by their deaths. We acknowledge all who experience the challenges of suicidal ideation, and those who have lost loved ones through suicide.” Prayer against Suicide and Depression: God, I bind my strongman and all demons and evil spirits that are causing me to feel depressed and suicidal, in Jesus name! I cancel all the devil’s assignments against me, my family, and my household in Jesus name. I break the curse of suicide, depression, Heaviness, sadness, hopelessness, self-pity, & grief and command all demons that came in to enforce those curses to go to the pit, in Jesus name never to return. I also bind all spirits of uneasiness, gloom, emptiness, and worthlessness, in Jesus name. I enter into the perfect rest of the Lord. I claim my healing from depression and suicide. Thank you for that perfect peace, Lord! I am a new creation in Christ! I am lead by the Holy Spirit! I claim the perfect love of Christ! I cover my mind, body, and spirit with the blood of Jesus, and loose angels to stand guard and to protect me while I sleep, in Jesus name, Amen! Rev. Fr. C. Joseph, Counsellor-St. Joseph’s College, Jakhama

On the issue of undocumented immigrants

es, we must speak to the issue or one day we will be held to account for beingsilence. Yes, we already have illegal immigrants in our land at a level more than we can accommodate Even without additional immigrants, we have a hard and frugal life which threatens our existence. It is said that there is no laws limiting the immigrations into the United States from different parts of the world and integrate into their economy. For the United States has a big, fertile and sparsely populated with highly productive capacity. But this is not what we see our land (Nagaland) with its geographical area of a mere 16,579 Sq. Km. only which is hilly and mountainous with extremely hostile terrain. In this kind of land, we get less than what we put in. Whereas, the United States has a geographical area of 9,372,614 Sq. km which is almost triple the size of India. There is also a show of exponential growth of population with 64.9 % decadal growth as per 2001-2011’s census as against national growth of 21.04 %, which is abnormally very high. If the decadal growth is more than 23%, it is said to be abnormally high. The fear of exodus of undocumented immigrants aftermath the National Register Citizens (NRC) in Assam has alarmed the whole North-East to find their ways to several other neighbouring states because their presence will be come a real threat to our collective future in many ways. This illegal immigrants will

remain a security challenge, if no adequate measures are taken including checking and deporting of illegal migrants. Let us therefore devise a way to stop the flocking undocumented migrants into our land in order to save our posterity from being overwhelmed by them like Tripura state.If throngs ofillegal immigrants are allowed to migrate into our land in terms of thousands every day, what would our future be like? This demographic threats, if a comprehensive measure is not taken right from now on, there is a threatthat the state of Nagaland will be torn asunder one day. In this connection, the whole DimapurMouzashould be brought under “Inner Line Permit System” where check posts are to be set up at such vulnerable points where the illegal immigrants can easilyfind out into our land. We have several protective laws to protect the rights and interest of the Nagas from any form of exploitation by other ethnicities such as the Bengal Frontier Regulation Act, 1873, the Assam Land Revenue Regulation Act, 1886, the Chin Hills Regulation 1896 etc. etc. If all these and others are enforced strictly, and also if the whole DimapurMouza is brought under thepurview of “inner-line permit system,” the inflow of illegal immigrants can be reduced substantially. Who are to be blamed for this state of affairs? The answers is obviously the Naga themselves for being indifferent attitude towards looking into the shape of thing that is coming to. Z. Katiry.

‘It’s raining double tragedy’

s the floods recede and helpless folks struggle to rebuild their lives from the remains the deluge has left, the nation salutes the undying spirit of the Keralites who fought against all odds and stood firm as ‘one for all and all for one’. Perhaps the Kerala floods have taught humanity, the people of India in particular, that compassion certainly triumphs over any crisis. From the fishermen to the top bureaucrat, the demonstration of humanness in times of desperateness, I believe, has undoubtedly touched the souls of those who were simply praying and wishing them all well. Despite the help that kept pouring in, the sheer resilience and the spirit of the people deserves appreciation. Every struggle teaches humanity lessons. The Kerala floods have taught the larger humanity that we can triumph against all odds if we choose to be ‘One’. Those of us who have helplessly watched the gloomy pictures of those in distress would surely admit that it wasn’t all there was to see. For, in the midst of those disturbing scenes a lot of positivity was also unfolding. I could still remember the guy in a blue T. shirt who leaned over and offered support on his back so that a couple of women folks would be guided into the boat safelynot to forget that there was a pregnant woman among the folks. On a dimly lit walled roof structure we could also see resemblance of a busy shopping mall, packed with people of all ages, mostly college students, unpacking and repacking clothes and medicines, received from donors, to be send to relief camps. What was visible and encouraging in all these pictures was the joy and the delightful spirit with which they had volunteered for the cause. It seemed as though nothing else mattered for these volunteers. Every moment was a moment of opportunity; it was simply pure empathy that was translating into action. Not a soul was found idle, one is either in the rains trying to rescue stranded and helpless folks, inside a make shift camp unpacking and repacking stuffs or either distributing food items. Schools, temples, mosques and Churches opened their doors to shelter the homeless. In this crisis the religious places have truly demonstrated that it does not harbor only sermons but practice them as well. As of now Kerala, ‘God’s own Country’, remains devastated with 80,000Kms damaged roads, 10 Lakh displaced, crores of hectares of crops lost and what is truly painful is the fact that the floods have come to claim more than 400 lives. The state has also suffered a financial loss of more than 20000 crore. It will take a while to build from what is left, but with an undying spirit and human solidarity it will just be another bad flood that has come and

gone after about 100 years. The Times of India (Kolkata) 3 September 2018 carried a news item, “Flood hit 48k Families in Nagaland”. It mentions that more than 13 percent of Nagaland’s population, comprising 48,000 families in 532 villages, has been hit by one of the worst floods the State has witnessed in the recent years. The deluge in Nagaland started since July 26, relentless monsoon rains ravaged the state, causing floods and landslides, leading to the death of 12 persons and displacing more than 3000 families. Districts under Nagaland like, Kipheri, Tuensang and Phek, bordering Myanmar, remained totally cut off for more than 15 days. Every since the downpour the Doyang Hydel project has been rising above normal level threatening the inhabitants settled in the low lying areas including neighbouring Assam. The worst areas have been Peren, Noksen, Noklak, Tobu, Phokhungri, Wazu, Pongro and Seyochung areas reports the Times of India. Being someone away from Nagaland I do not wish to bring a detail account of the devastation that is felt at home. I suppose the tragedy is more severe then what little is known and written about in the papers. When the news of the floods in Kerala started gaining momentum it seemed as though the entire national media had unleashed its soldiers on the ground to do ground zero reporting from all the flood affected areas. What the reporters did was commendable. They even braved the rains and risked their lives to keep the media houses breaking with news and videos. It was mission Kerala covered from A-Z. People saw and acted. The media coverage helped in garnering a lot of support even from across the boundary. The India Today news channel played a clip of two minor girls from the state of Karnataka collecting funds in and around temples from the devotees for the flood relief in Kerala. Certainly a kind gesture that said, “What comes from the heart goes to the heart”. At one point of time even politicians were heard and seen competing as to, who would fly down to Kerala first? What the national media contributed to Kerala is a commendable and laudable job because it was a selfless sacrifice, a duty that knows no bounds-for the cause of humanity. The response in Kerala was spontaneous, be it the media, the people or the government. Nobody needed to be told everybody knew that ‘saving a life’ was all that mattered at those crucial junctures. However, back at home it is a different story. At home we all thank the CM for his twitter appeal for help. It at least created some discomfort for the centre to immediately deploy the chopper to

the affected areas. The National survey team has finally reached the state and taken stock of the damage and loss. I hope and pray that their outreach will at least serve as a consolation to those who are struggling to rebuild from what is left. What disturbs me often as a citizen, is the kind of publicity (the National media especially), that is so hesitant when it matters the North Eastern Regions of India, and this time particularly Nagaland. Having seen all these media attentions and publicity, what concerns me is the kind of media attention and coverage that we in Nagaland seldom enjoy. And it is unfortunate that in such terrible situations, we were left without anyone noticing the kind of hell we are going through. I am not dismissing the reports carried out by the local dailies (News in Nagaland) and the participation of the social media in highlighting the current issue. My contention is why are the Media houses so hesitant to set foot and do real ground reports in times such as these? What has ever happened to “duty without bounds”? What prevented the media from doing its duty to its own citizens? It could have made a lot of difference to the people who were ruthlessly pushed to their limits by nature’s fury. If the media could go the United States to cover the PM’s speech, what is the excuse for not turning up when fellow citizens are fighting for survival in a tragedy? Interestingly the appeal of the Chief Minister of Kerala, for help and assistance, is broadcasted at

certain intervals in most of the national Medias till date. If the flood situation in Kerala was so tempting for the media houses to do ground zero reporting 24/7, why skip Nagaland? Of course who can compare the loss, it’s a staggering 20000 crore versus 800 crore. I hope for sure it is not the gravity of a disaster or tragedy that determines ground reporting. But I believe the loss that is felt by both the states and its people bear the same emotional gravity as human beings, which the media ought to consider. The mainstream national media seemed to have dumped all its stamina this time in the South that the disaster in Nagaland had to rely on WhatsApp, Facebook, and Twitter for its national coverage. Isn’t it a concern that a lot of times incidents and events occurring in the state are covered from neighbouring Guwahati by the media channels? This often leads to limited coverage and distort versions of a narrative. What makes politicians so keen on visiting Nagaland during Hornbill Festivals and elections but gives a damn when people’s lives are at stake? Is it not people’s lives that we have chosen to be adamant to? In our indifference have we not chosen to ignore our own? Are we not morally responsible to the struggles of our fellow human beings? In these crisis we don’t need sermons to teach us morals, perhaps what we lack is empathy-an understanding of how others are feeling which often translates into action. Tayong. Lemtur, Kolkata

Congress, BJP spar over Vijay Mallya Rahul demands Jaitley’s resignation; Prasad says allegations were ‘false’

New Delhi, Sep 13 (IANS): A fresh war of words broke out between the BJP and Congress over Vijay Mallya on Thursday with Congress President Rahul Gandhi seeking Finance Minister Arun Jaitley’s resignation over “free passage” given to the fugitive businessman and the BJP hitting out by alleging that UPA government gave “sweet deals” to him and that Gandhi family “partially owned the now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines through proxy”. The ruling party rejected the demand for Jailtley’s resignation and instead sought to turn the tables on Congress by asking Rahul Gandhi to quit in view of his involvement in National Herald case. The day saw two press conferences each by the Congress and BJP with Gandhi coming to party’s central office to attack Jaitley. It came a day after Mallya said he had met Jaitley and the Union minister rubbished the claim of any formal meeting. Gandhi accused Jaitely of “colluding” with Mallya who is facing charges of fraud and money laundering amounting to around Rs 9,000 crore. He

Rahul Gandhi

Ravi Shankar Prasad

asked why Jaitley did not inform the investigating agencies about Mallya’s plans to leave India. “There is a clear-cut collusion. He (Jaitley) should have confessed (about the meeting) and he should resign. The Finance Minister talks to an absconder (Mallya) and the absconder tells the Finance Minister that I am going to London. The Finance Minister neither told the CBI, the ED or the police, why? “He was given a free passage to leave the country by the Finance Minister. There was a lookout notice against Mallya which was diluted to an inform notice. Who changed it? This can be done only by one who controls the CBI,” he alleged. Gandhi also demanded to know if the decision was taken by Jaitley himself or the “order came from

the top”. “The Finance Minister has colluded with a criminal running away from the country. He was told by the criminal that he is going to run away but the Finance Minister did nothing. The government is lying on Rafale, they are lying on Mallya”. At the media conference, Congress MP P.L. Punia claimed to give an eyewitness account of the meeting between Jaitley and Mallya in the Central Hall of Parliament before the businessman fled the country on March 2, 2016. Punia claimed the meeting between Jaitley and Mallya lasted 15-20 minutes and asked if Mallya had taken permission from Jaitley about his planned flight abroad. Hitting out at the Congress, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra alleged that there were documents that

show how RBI and UPA under Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh had given sweet deals to Kingfisher Airlines. “And it appears through these chain of documents that Kingfisher Airlines was owned not by Mallya but by the Gandhi family through proxy,” he alleged showing the letters written by RBI to SBI requesting for the restructuring of the loans of Kingfisher Airline The accuracy of the documents could not be ascertained. There was no immediate response from Rahul Gandhi’s office. Patra also alleged that the party has enough evidence which shows that Rahul Gandhi was “using black money” and the Gandhi family was helping Mallya with sweet deals. He claimed that Rahul Gandhi travelled free in Kingfisher Airlines, which was once owned by Mallya. “Rahul Gandhi took one crore loan from a shell company, we have the confession of the company director,” Patra alleged. At another press conference, Congress Communications In-charge Randeep Singh Surjewala posed specific questions to the

Modi government. “Why was no action taken against Vijay Mallya for bank fraud despite registration of an FIR by CBI on July 29, 2015? Who asked CBI to change its look-out notice of October 16, 2015 into a mere ‘inform notice’ on November 23, 2015? Who directed the banks to delay filing of the case in the Supreme Court,” he asked. Earlier in the day, Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad told reporters that all the allegations against Jaitley were “false”. “All these remarks are being made after Rahul Gandhi’s London visit. Is there anything common between them (Mallya and Rahul Gandhi)?” he asked. Railways Minister Piyush Goyal, who addressed a press conference at the BJP headquarters, said Rahul Gandhi was “facing serious criminal charges” and that he “should first resign.” “Those who took loans from hawala companies and accumulated wealth by taking government land free of cost or at lower rate from National Herald and whose case was rejected by Delhi High Court, should resign first,” he said.

ABVP bags president, two other posts in DUSU polls New Delhi, Sep 13 (PTI): The ABVP, the student wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh, Thursday bagged three posts, including that of the president, in the Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) elections. The NSUI, the student wing of the Congress, won only one seat. ABVP’s Ankiv Basoya won the presidential post with a margin of 1744 votes while party’s candidate Shakti Singh was declared as the vice president after he won with a margin of 7673 votes. NSUI’s Akash Choudhary won the secretary’s post while ABVP’s Jyoti emerged victorious on the joint secretary post. Basoya got 20467 votes while his rival NSUI’s Sunny Chhillar got 18723 votes. Singh received 23046 votes against NSUI rival Leena’s 15373 votes. Choudhary, the lone winning candidate of the NSUI, alleged that fair elections were not conducted and data of seven EVMs were missing. The Chief Electoral Officer in Delhi Thursday clarified that the EVMs

used in DUSU elections have not been issued by the Election Commission and it seems to have been procured privately. The counting had to be suspended for few hours following glitch in the EVMs but was resumed in the evening amid heavy police deployment. The NSUI demanded fresh polling, while the ABVP demanded resumption of counting. “There are only 8 candidates so how is it possible that votes were cast to a 10th candidate? All machines were fine yesterday. Police and administration are involved in this,” Fairoz Khan, NSUI president, alleged. Later, all candidates came to an agreement on resumption of counting. Celebrations broke out with bursting of crackers and loud cheering at the Kingsway camp counting venue as the results were announced. The supporters lifted the victorious candidates on their shoulders and posed for photos flashing the ‘victory’ sign. While the battle for

DUSU has mainly been the contest between the NSUI and the ABVP for years, the Left-affiliated AISA and Aam Aadmi Party’s CYSS entered into an alliance and also vied for the central panel posts this time. Amid heavy police presence and some lastminute wooing of voters, DUSU polls were held yesterday with a voter turnout of 44.46 per cent. Polling took place at 52 centres in the colleges. There were as many as 23 candidates in the fray. DUSU is the representative body of the students from most colleges and faculties. Apart from DUSU, which is an umbrella council, each college also has its own students union for which they hold separate elections. Though Delhi University officially does not recognise any political outfit, students who contest the polls are backed by different parties. The polls have been keenly contested over decades and are seen as a stepping stone to mainstream politics.

India meets norms; out of India’s first indigenous anti-nuclear medical kit NSG due to China, says US

Washington, Sep 13 (PTI): India has not been able to secure membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group because of China’s veto, a senior Donald Trump administration official said on Thursday, asserting that the US will continue to advocate for New Delhi’s membership in the elite grouping as it meets all the criteria. India has been seeking entry into the 48-member elite nuclear club, which controls nuclear trade, but China has repeatedly stonewalled its bid. While India, which is backed by the US and a number of western countries has garnered the support of a majority of the group’s members, China has stuck to its stand that new members should sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), making India’s entry difficult as the

group is guided by the consensus principle. India is not a signatory to the NPT. “Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) is a consensus-based organisation. India has not been able to secure membership as a result of opposition from China,” Alice Wells, the principal deputy assistant secretary of state for South and Central Asia, told a Washington audience. “We have deemed that we’re not going to limit our own cooperation with India based on a Chinese veto. Of course, we moved ahead with an STA One authorisation and we certainly believe that India meets all of the qualifications of the nuclear supplier’s group and will continue to actively advocate on behalf of India’s membership,” Wells said in response to a question. He said by granting Strategic Trade Authorisa-

tion (STA-1) status, the US has placed India in the inner circle of America’s closest allies. “It reflects just the intimacy of the strategic partnership,” she said in response to a question at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a top American think-tank. The senior State Department Official hoped that the nuclear deal with India would finally see the light of the day with the approaching of its 10th anniversary. “With Westinghouse coming out of bankruptcy, we now have an opportunity to cross the finish line to really culminate in what was this historic process that began a decade ago to be able to have one of our premier companies provide in some of the safest and cleanest fuel that will benefit, tens of millions of Indian citizens,” she said.

NEW DELHI, Sep 13 (Agencies): In a major shot in the arm for paramilitary and police forces, scientists at a central research institute claim to have developed India’s first indigenous medical kit that may ensure protection from serious injuries and faster healing of wounds resulting from nuclear warfare or radioactive leakage, NDTV reported. The kit, developed after two decades of work by the Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences (INMAS) in New Delhi has over 25 items, including radio-protectors that provide 80-90 per cent protection against radiation and nerve gas agents, bandages that absorb radiation as well as tablets and ointments. Developed in India for the first time, it’s a potent alternative to similar kits that were till now being procured from strategically advanced nations such as

the US and Russia at much higher prices, INMAS Director AK Singh told PTI. The contents include an advanced form of Prussian blue tablets, highly effective in incorporating Radio Cesium (Cs137) and Radio Thallium, among the most feared radioisotopes in nuclear bombs that destroy human body cells. The tablet provides 100 per cent absorption from the gut and other portals of entry to the human body, according to documents inside the medical kit accessed by PTI. According to INMAS, the kit has been developed for the armed, paramilitary and police forces only as they are the first ones likely to get exposed to radiation -- be it during nuclear, chemical and biomedical (NCB) warfare or a rescue operation after a nuclear accident. The kit also has an Ethylenediaminetetraa-

cetic acid (EDTA) injection that traps uranium in the guts and blood of victims during a nuclear accident or warfare. The kit also has CaEDTA Respiratory Fluid, which is the inhalation formula for chelation, or grabbing, of heavy metals and radioactive elements deposited in lungs through inhalation at nuclear accident sites. When EDTA is injected into the veins, it “grabs” heavy metals and minerals and removes them from the body. The medicine reduces the body burden of radioactivity by 30-40 per cent in controlled conditions and is highly useful for the rescue teams and victims after a nuclear accident. According to INMAS, different paramilitary forces are processing Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with the Institute for seamless procurement of the product.

“In some ways, medical and health issues faced by the military and the paramilitary are quite different to that of the general public. The three areas of particular concern to the defence sector are high altitudes, war injuries and NBC warfare,” Singh told PTI. Stating that the pharmaceutical industry is a mere spectator due to the limited commercial scope in such products, Singh said, “Government sponsored research is the only way forward in this area with practically no import potential.” “INMAS, the medical face of DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation) doubles up for the paramilitary also because there is no medical research in Bureau of Police R&D,” he added. He said the drugs in the medical kit are ‘Made in India’, without any foreign counterpart and come with

the tag of cost-effective and industrial networking. Aseem Bhatnagar, additional director at INMAS, noted that the kit has Radioactive Blood Mopping Dressing -- a special kind of bandage that absorbs radiation. During radioactive accidents, he explained, thousands of patients may be rushed to hospitals. In several cases, if not most, they will also have traumatic, orthopaedic, surgical injuries or burns. The blood of such patients will have radioactive elements and will require wound dressing with significantly higher absorption capacity so that nothing leaks and infects others. “Such highly absorptive dressings and gauze also make it safer for the medical staff to handle radioactive patients as the chance of their own contamination is reduced,” Mr Bhatnagar told PTI.

Kerala seeks Rs 4,700 cr as compensation

New Delhi, Sep 13 (PTI): The Kerala government Thursday sought Rs 4,700 crore as compensation from the central government for the damage caused by the recent f loods, termed as the worst in a century, officials said. At least 488 people have died in Kerala due to the rains and floods this monsoon, which hit 14 districts of the state. The Kerala government has sent a memorandum to the Home Ministry giving details about the loss

of human life, properties, infrastructure and crops and sought about Rs 4,700 crore as compensation, a senior government official said. In case of any natural calamity beyond the coping capacity of a state, the state government submits a detailed memorandum indicating sector-wise details of damage and requirement of funds for relief operations of immediate nature. Accordingly, the Kerala government sent the memorandum, the official said. As per the existing

guidelines, the central government will soon send an Inter-Ministerial Central Team (IMCT) for on-thespot assessment of damage and additional requirement of funds. The IMCT report will be considered by the Sub-Committee of National Executive Committee (SCNEC) headed by the Union home secretary in conformity with the norms and

then by a high-level committee, chaired by the home minister for approving the quantum of additional assistance from the NDRF. The financial mechanism to meet the rescue and relief expenditure during any notified disaster event is governed by guidelines on State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) and National Disaster Response Fund

(NDRF), another official said. State Disaster Response Fund has been constituted in each state in which the Centre contributes 75 per cent for general category states and 90 per cent for special category states of hilly regions every year according to the award of the successive Finance Commissions.

NEW DELHI, SEP 13 (PTI): Investor wealth has surged over Rs 12 lakh crore so far during the 2018-19 fiscal, driven by robust stock market sentiment, during which the BSE benchmark index has soared more than 14 per cent. Since March 28 this year (stock markets were closed on March 29 and 30 for a local holiday), the 30-share Sensex has gained 4,749.28 points, or 14.40 per cent, to 37,717.96 as on September 12. The key index touched its lifetime high of 38,989.65 on August 29, this year. Led by a rally in stocks, the market capitalisation of BSElisted companies jumped Rs 12,01,444 crore to Rs 1,54,26,441 crore as on September 12. Stock exchanges are closed on Thursday for “Ganesh Chaturthi“. A number of initial public offers and subsequent listing of stocks has also helped the market valuation rise.

During August 2018, 18 exits totalling USD 830 million were seen, which is double the value compared to July 2018. The largest exit in the reporting month include USD 225 million part exit from Ola a cab aggregator, by Helion Ventures, Accel India, Bessemer and others in a secondary sale to Temasek. The other large exit during the month saw Warburg Pincus sell 8.3 per cent stake in AU Small Finance Bank for USD 223 million in the open market. Moreover, the successful closure of the USD 16 billion Walmart-Flipkart deal in early September would trump all exits so far in the country’s PE/VC industry and also eclipse the dollar value of exits in all of 2017.

Will not tolerate meddling in US elections: Trump N Korea willing to denuclearise: Moon Washington, Sep 13 (PTI): The United States will not tolerate any form of foreign interference in its elections, President Donald Trump said Wednesday after signing an executive order that initiates actions, including sanctions, against foreign entities who meddle or even attempt to interfere in American polls. “Today, I took action to protect the integrity of the United States electoral system by signing an executive order to ensure that we can swiftly identify and punish any foreign interference in our elections. As I have made clear, the United States will not tolerate any form of foreign meddling in our elections,” Trump said in a statement after he signed the executive order. The executive order requires the intelligence community and other federal agencies to assess the extent of any foreign interference after every United States election. If the US determines that any foreign meddling has occurred, the executive order ensures a quick, forceful, and proportionate response, he said. Specifically, the executive order authorises appropriate and meaningful sanctions — some are full blocking sanctions, others are to be designed and calibrated in light of spe-

President Donald Trump said that United States will not tolerate any form of foreign interference in its elections.

cific facts — against any individual, foreign entity, or country that authorises, directs, sponsors, or otherwise supports foreign interference in a US election, he said. It also directs the executive branch to develop a uniform process for assessing and determining foreign interference in United States elections. “As we enter election season this fall, the American people can rest assured that we are working diligently to ensure that our democracy remains secure from foreign threats,” Trump said. Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen M Nielsen also said election security is national security and any attempt to interfere in the

democratic institutions is unacceptable. “By mandating the imposition of sanctions against any individual or entity that seeks to interfere in our elections, we are sending a clear signal that the US government will not tolerate interference of any kind and will use every tool at our disposal to protect our democratic process,” she said. The executive order does not name any particular country. However in a conference call, Dan Coats, Director of National Intelligence identified Russia, China, Iran and N Korea having capabilities to do so. “We have seen signs of not just Russia, but from China, of capabilities, po-

tentially from Iran and even North Korea. It’s more than Russia here that we’re looking at,” Coats said. “We continue to look at that and will continue to look at that. We have not seen the intensity of what happened in 2016, but it’s only a keyboard click away,” he said. However, the opposition Democrats were not satisfied with the executive order. “The new executive order certainly does not absolve the Senate from passing much-needed legislation and funding to beef up our election security and prevent future attacks on our democracy from foreign adversaries,”Senate Minority Leader Chuck

Schumer said. The steps outlined in the executive order are “far too little, too late,” and they provide no resources to help states protect their elections against future attacks, said Committee on House Administration Ranking Member Robert Brady, Committee on Homeland Security Ranking Member Bennie Thompson, and Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Ranking Member Elijah Cummings “While the President appears to acknowledge that foreign actors will continue to attempt to interfere in our elections, he makes no mention of previous Russian attacks,” they alleged. Rather than issuing a weak executive order two years after these attacks, President Trump should have responded swiftly and strongly, they said. “We need concrete actions that show the Trump Administration is sincere in wanting to protect American democracy from foreign interference. That means providing states with the funds they need, and pressing Republicans in Congress to pass legislation – like the Election Security Act – that makes meaningful improvements to our election infrastructure,” the three Democrats said.

Seoul, Sep 13 (AFP): North Korea is “willing to denuclearise” and the US is prepared to end hostile relations, President Moon Jae-in said Thursday as he struck an upbeat tone ahead of his third meeting with Kim Jong Un next week. The summit will be the third between the leaders of North and South Korea this year and comes as talks between Washington and Pyongyang over dismantling the North’s nuclear arsenal have stalled. Moon conceded there was a “blockage” and both sides needed to compromise to make progress on the controversial subject. “North Korea is willing to denuclearise and therefore willing to discard existing nuclear weapons... and the US is willing to end hostile relations with the North and provide security guarantees,” Moon said. “But there is a blockage as both sides are demanding each other to act first and I think they will be able to find a point of compromise.” Moon, who helped broker the June summit between Kim and US President Donald Trump and has called for a follow-up meeting between the two sides, added South Korea would help mediate contacts between Washington and Pyongyang to “speed up the denuclearisation process”. Trump and Kim Jong

Moon Jae-in

Un pledged to denuclearise the Korean peninsula at their historic Singapore meeting. However, no details were agreed, and Washington and Pyongyang have sparred since over what that means and how it will be achieved. Last month, Trump abruptly cancelled a planned visit by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to Pyongyang. The new US envoy for the North, Stephen Biegun, said in August Kim had promised “final, fully verified denuclearisation” at the Singapore summit. But Pyongyang has slammed Washington for its “gangster-like” demands for complete, verifiable and irreversible disarmament. South Korea’s Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha said Thursday that making progress on denuclearisation talks with North Korea is a “daily concern”. “Getting traction on the denuclearisation and peace process that is very

much now in motion -- it’s a daily concern to get movement on this,” she told a regional economic forum in the Vietnamese capital Hanoi. Speaking on the sidelines of the forum, Kang called for “openness” from the North about their weapons programme and added a second Trump-Kim summit should deliver “concrete” results. “A second summit has to be something that really significantly moves the agenda forward,” she added. The White House said earlier this week Trump had received a “very positive” letter from Kim seeking a follow-up meeting, since adding it is in the process of coordinating a possible second meeting between the two leaders. South Korean national security advisor Chung Euiyong said Thursday Moon and Kim will discuss “more in-depth and detailed ways to achieve denuclearisation”.

“His legacy would live on through his foundation and through all of us,” she said. The former queen of the Netherlands, Princess Beatrix, and her daughter-in-law Princess Mabel, who were close friends of Annan, were among the mourners. Annan started his career at the UN in 1962 and 35 years later became the first person from sub-Saharan Africa to be appointed Secretary General. His 1997-2006 term at the helm of the UN was marked by his programme to reform the institution and his efforts to draw support from the international community in Africa as well as leading the fight against AIDS. In 2001, Annan and the UN were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for “their work for a better organised and more peaceful world”.

Narendra Modi first Indian PM to prioritise UHC: The Lancet

New Delhi, Sep 13 (PTI): A noted UK-based medical journal has said Narendra Modi is India’s first prime minister to prioritise universal health coverage (UHC) as part of his political platform under the ‘Ayushman Bharat’ scheme, even as it added that Congress chief Rahul Gandhi was “yet to match Modicare”. Richard Horton, editorin-chief of the ‘The Lancet’, said the prime minister has grasped the importance of health not only as a natural right of citizens, but also as a political instrument to meet the growing expectations of the emerging middle class of India, which is engulfed in a “swirling epidemic of noncommunicable diseases”. “Rahul Gandhi seeking to resurrect the Congress and prove that India’s greatest political dynasty still has something to offer, despite his promises to help lower castes, tribal communities and rural poor, is yet to match Modicare,” Horton said in an article published in the journal. The Lancet editor-in-chief asserted that health will be a decisive issue in next year’s general elec-

tion in the country. With reference to five India-specific disease burden studies on non-communicable diseases published in The Lancet group of journals on Wednesday, Horton said, “... as the BJP and Congress set out competing and contrasting visions for India’s future, health will rightly become a decisive issue in next year’s general election”. Referring to Gandhi’s statement of ‘There is a fullblown crisis in India’ at the London School of Economics last month, The Lancet editor-inchief said the Congress president was referring to a “job crisis”, but the five papers published across three Lancet specialty journals have revealed that there was also a “health crisis” in India. “After years of neglect, the Indian Government has at last recognised the perils of public discontent about health. Under a new initiative called Ayushman Bharat launched this year, Prime Minister Modi has implemented two new flagship programmes. “Ayushman Bharat has two pillars -- the creation of 1,50,000 health

and wellness centres across the country to provide a spine of primary care facilities to deliver universal health coverage; and the National Health Protection Mission (NHPM), a health insurance aimed at providing coverage of Rs 5 lakh per family annually, thus benefiting more than 10 crore poor families,” said the article. Horton in the article said Modi’s stated goal is to build a new India by 2022. “Rahul Gandhi has spoken about a ‘modernising impulse’ in India and the possibility of ‘a transformation of 1•3 billion people’. Modi has grasped the importance of health not only as a natural right for India’s citizens, but also as a political instrument to meet the growing expectations of India’s emerging middle class. “Modi is the first Indian Prime Minister to prioritise universal health coverage as part of his political platform. Rahul Gandhi, despite his promises to help lower castes, tribal communities, and the rural poor, has yet to match Modicare,” the article said.

150 engineers join Punjab Police as constables KAPURTHALA, Sep 13 (PTI): Over 150 candidates with M Tech and B Tech degrees have opted for the post of constable in the Punjab Police, a senior officer said Thursday. These engineering graduates were recruited as constables in the IT and intelligence wing of the Punjab Police, and they completed their ninemonth training on Thursday, Commandant (training centre) Rajpal Singh Sandhu said here. IG (intelligence) Ram Singh participated in the passing out parade of these trainees and took the salute at march past from contingents of 257 trainees. Ram Singh advised the constables to discharge their duties honestly and uphold the dignity of the Punjab Police. He said the training centre has imparted training in physical exercises, drills, weapon handling and shooting, besides teaching subjects like law, IT and intelligence to over 60,000 constables since its inception in 1993.

Telangana 1st state to block Modi’s data bill NEW DELHI/HYDERABAD, Sep 13 (Agencies): Telangana has become the first state to raise concerns over the proposed data protection bill — submitted by the Justice BN Srikrishna Committee — as it fears implementation of certain clauses, especially one on data localisation, will isolate Indian startups and hurt investments in the state and the country. The state’s IT minister KT Rama Rao is expected to write a letter to Union minister for electronics and IT Ravi Shankar Prasad expressing concerns that the draft bill’s excessive notice requirements, its restrictive grounds of processing and harsh crossborder transfer norms could threaten Telangana’s startup initiatives and hurt its business-friendly image. Certain proposals in the draft data protection bill including one that recommends global internet companies host user data locally could increase operational expenses and impact business growth, according to a top official in the state government. “Yes, these are our concerns,” the minister told

Certain proposals in the propose bill could increase operational expenses and impact business growth, according to a top official in the state government.

The Centre is seeking public opinion until September 30 to the draft bill and is expected to introduce it in Parliament by December. Youngest state fears investments will be hit In response to ET’s queries, an official spokesperson of the union ministry for electronics and IT said, “We are working out a monumental law. Views of state governments and public response are being sought. Data protection law would also be placed for Cabinet’s approval before finalising the legislation.” “The exercise is aimed at having a model law that has blend of security, privacy, safety and innovation,” the

person said. Telangana, India’s youngest state founded in 2014, has attracted investments worth $11.5 billion since 2015 and is currently the country’s second highest contributor to IT exports. Hyderabad, the capital of Telangana, houses engineering and back offices of multinational firms such as Facebook, Microsoft and Google. In 2016, it successfully wooed Apple to set up its map development centre in the city. Data localisation would raise the cost of doing business in Telangana along with discouraging foreign investments in the state, the state official said. The Srikrishna Panel suggested that every data fi-

duciary in India shall ensure the storage of at least one serving copy of personal data on a server or data centre located in India. It also stated that the government can notify some categories of personal data as critical personal data that have to be stored in a server or data centre located only in India. Separately, the Reserve Bank of India has mandated payment companies to host user data locally from October. US internet and payment firms have opposed data localisation and called for cross border movement of data. Last week, Google told the Indian government that it favours crossborder flow of data which would help startups to expand globally, besides companies such as Google contribute to the Indian economy. “Free flow of data across borders — with a focus on user privacy and security — will encourage startups to innovate and expand globally and encourage global companies to contribute to India’s digital economy,” Google’s India-born CEO Sundar Pichai said in a letter to Prasad last week.

while we are stitching people’s hearts. This is their compulsion. Our work is to stitch relations which is our national duty,” he said. The Prime Minister said there was confusion in the “mahagathbandhan” over leadership and policy. Their intention was corrupt. “Their only motto is ‘Modi hatao’, ‘Modi hatao’ and ‘Modi hatao’ (Remove Modi) while our determination is to accelerate the path of development.” Dubbing the idea of “mahagathbandhan” as an example of the BJP’s rising power, he sought to know why the Congress, which had once passed a resolution against alliances, was now backtracking. “Some years back, the Congress passed a resolution in Madhya Pradesh saying it will never go for any alliance.

NSG donates Rs 1 cr to PM’s Relief Fund New Delhi, Sep 13 (PTI) : The National Security Guard Thursday donated over Rs 1 crore to the Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund in the wake of the recent devastating floods in Kerala.

Today they are saying ...save me,” he said. “When a patient remains in the ICU, he is given a different kind of support system so that he can survive. The Congress is installing a support system of political parties to save itself. For the Congress, all those part of ‘mahagathbandhan’ are only a support system so that they rescue it from ICU.” The Prime Minister asserted that Congress efforts to form a grand coalition were not going to make any difference to the BJP in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. “If the BJP government had made some mistakes or its popularity graph had gone down or the Prime Minister had made some mistakes, would they have gone for an alliance?” Modi asked. The opposition parties were so scared of the BJP that they felt they can never defeat it alone. “They can’t stand before the BJP. This is the reason they are doing this to get together (‘mel milap’),” he said.

The government must take necessary measures for the safety and security of its citizens, it demanded. TIN explained that it came into being to protect rights of indigenous Nagas as “undocumented” infiltration of illegal immigrants in the State had threatened the very existence of the Nagas socioeconomically. It added a memorandum was submitted to home commissioner through Dimapur deputy commissioner to examine and formulate policies with regard to ILP on August 2, 2018 with eight proposals. This followed NSF and other pressure groups requesting the government to bring Dimapur district under ILP.

New Delhi, Sep 13 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday hit out at opposition parties, saying the Congress, which has been trying to forge a “mahagathbandhan” for the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, was in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and those part of the grand alliance form its “support system”. Modi’s attack came during a video interaction with booth level workers of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from Jaipur (Rural), Nawada, Ghaziabad, Hazaribagh and Arunachal West parliamentary constituencies. Responding to a query of a BJP worker from Arunachal Pradesh about the opposition’s efforts to forge a grand alliance, Modi said it was not a matter of opposition unity but an attempt was being made to do branding for some political parties in the name of “mahagathbandhan”. “This ‘mahagathbandhan’ is not a bond of knot but is an alliance of some opportunistic political parties to hide their weaknesses,” he said. “They are trying to stitch an alliance of parties

A Division Bench headed by the Chief Justice Hrishikesh Roy after going through the affidavit of the Kerala Police probe team said that it was not proper to put pressure on the police as it could create hindrance to a free probe. A Kerala nun has accused Mulakkal of repeatedly sexually abusing her between 2014 and 2016. There are five other nuns of the same congregation who has supported her claim. On Thursday, Kottayam Superintendent of Police Harishankar who is leading the probe told the media that variations and contradictions have been found in the statements that have been taken from several people connected

Meanwhile, the Kerala High Court Thursday expressed satisfaction over the police investigation in the case. The court stated this while considering three separate petitions, alleging that the police probe against Bishop Franco Mulakkal of the Jalandhar diocese was ‘ineffective’. It asked them to have some patience as shown by the nun and said the petitions would be considered after the Bishop was interrogated by the Special Investigation Team probing the case on September 19. The Kerala Catholic Bishop Council (KCBC) had Wednesday slammed the nuns’ protest, saying that it has “crossed all limits”. “We are not against the Church. We are not against the Church rules. We still accept the sacraments and we are not against it. We will continue our protest till we get justice,” a nun told reporters in Kochi.

However, taking into account that the case is four years old, it might be difficult to recall things correctly. “There are discrepancies in documents and facts that have now come up and hence we have expanded the probe team,” said Harishankar. An FIR was registered against the bishop and a 114-page detailed statement was taken from the nun and other inmates of the convent. However, Mulakkal has denied any wrongdoing and termed it a conspiracy hatched against him.

Nun rape case: relief for Mulakkal

Kochi/ Kottayam, Sep 13 (IANS/PTI): Bishop Franco Mulakkal, who has been named in a sexual abuse case by a nun, got a breather from the Kerala High Court on Thursday as it said “arrest is not the issue”. Expressing satisfaction in the ongoing probe, the court observed that since it was an old case, the probe and the investigation will take time and “not the arrest but final punishment of the accused is more important”. Apart from hearing two petitions on the case, it also heard a third petition seeking a Central Bureau Investigation (CBI) probe into it, and said that at present that would not be granted and posted the matter for next hearing on September 24. Bishop Franco Mulakkal of the Roman Catholic Diocese in Jalandhar has been served a notice to appear before the probe team on September 19. The nuns supporting the victim expressed their disappointment with the court’s observation. “We now feel that the probe might be swept under

Eight militants killed in J&K

Security forces personnel near the house where terrorists were holed up during an encounter in the Kakriyal area of Reasi district in Jammu, Thursday. (PTI)

Jammu/Srinagar, Sep 13 (IANS): Eight militants, three of them Pakistanis, were killed on Thursday in three separate gun battles in Jammu and Kashmir, one of which also injured 12 police and paramilitary personnel and soldiers. While three were killed near the Line of control (LoC) in Keran sector in Kupwara district that borders Pakistan, two Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM)

militants were shot dead in Sopore town and the three Pakistanis died in a 33-hour fighting in Reasi district. Soldiers noticed suspicious movements along the LoC in Dat Gali area of Kupwara and challenged a small group of men trying to sneak into India, triggering a gun battle. “Three terrorists were killed. Their bodies are lying close to the border fence and have not been recovered

yet,” a Defence Ministry source said. Two JeM militants were killed in Arampora locality of Sopore town. Police said the security forces, including Rashtriya Rifles, the Special Operations Group and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), cordoned off Arampora in the morning after being tipped off about the gunmen. “As the cordon was tightened, the militants

opened fire,” a police officer said. Three Pakistani terrorists, also belonging to JeM, were killed in Reasi district after a joint operation by the security forces, General Officer Commanding (GOC) Major General Arvind Bhatia said. He said they had recently infiltrated into Jammu and Kashmir from Pakistan in Samba sector of the international border. The Pakistanis were killed in a 33-hour encounter in Kakriyal village near the Mata Vaishno Devi University. Twelve security personnel, including a Deputy Superintendent of Police, were injured in the fighting. The others injured included a Major and two para-commandos of the Army, five CRPF troopers and three policemen. “The injured were shifted to the Narayana hospital in Katra town where doctors said all of them are out of danger,” a police officer said. The Army, police and CRPF had tracked down the militants using drones, helicopters and other surveillance gadgets in the forests of Jhajar and adjoining areas.

India to launch two UK satellites on Sunday C h e n na i , S e p 1 3 (IANS): Indian rocket Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) will put into orbit on Sunday two foreign satellites - NovaSAR and S1-4 - together weighing 889 kg, said a top official. “The September 16 rocket launch will be a fully commercial launch. The rocket will be carrying only the two foreign satellites,” K. Sivan, Chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), told IANS on Thursday. He said such commercial launches were not new for ISRO as it has done that several times earlier. T h e P S LV r o c k e t will blast off from the first launch pad of Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh. The two satellites belong to Surrey Satellite Technologies Ltd (SSTL), UK, under commercial arrangement with Antrix Corp Ltd - the commercial arm of ISRO.

Labourer buys Rs 200 lottery ticket; wins Rs 1.5 cr

MAN D V I V ILLAGE (SANGRUR, PUNJAB): Until a few days back, Manoj Kumar, 40, and his wife Raj Kaur earned just Rs 250 each every day, working as daily-wagers at a local brick kiln near their village in Punjab’s Sangrur district. Life was limited to planning for the next 24 hours for the couple and their four children. Since August 30, however, their life has changed 360 degrees. Property agents and bankers are knocking on the door of their ramshackle home with lucrative investment offers worth several lakhs, thanks to the Rs 1.5 crore Rakhi Bumper lottery of the state government that Manoj won. Interestingly, he had bought the ticket after borrowing Rs 200 from a neighbour. Also, this was the first time he had bought a ticket. Now that he is a ‘crorepati’, he finds himself in the

unusual position of making plans for the future, especially for his children. Before he won the lottery, the eldest of his three daughters, who cleared her Class XII exam this year, had started looking for a job in Sangrur. He has told her to end the job hunt and start studying again so that she becomes eligible to join the police force as she had once planned. Manoj’s father Hawa Singh died recently after developing asthmatic problems. “Whatever little savings I had, I spent on his treatment, but I could not save him,” says Manoj, who regrets he didn’t win the lottery earlier as the money would have saved his father. Manoj said, “After my father died, I went back to the brick kiln. Even after putting in extra hours, I could never earn more than Rs 250 a day as I was paid 50 paise per brick.” However, on August 30,

SIT to probe religious conversions in Jharkhand

Ranchi, Sep 13 (IANS): A Special Investigation Team (SIT) was formed on Thursday by Jharkhand’s Pakur district Superintendent of Police (SP) Shailendra Barnawal to probe the conversion of tribal people to Christianity. “A team led by Deputy SP Ashok Kumar Singh has been formed following a report by the state’s special intelligence branch of tribal people converting to Christianity in the district”, Barnawal told IANS over telephone. No time frame has been given to submit the report. The Special Branch in it’s report to police headquarters had said that “in Littipara block of Pakur district, conversion of tribal people is going on at large scale by alluring them with providing clothes,

foodgrains, solar lights, goat and other things”. The sources in the Special Branch said an audio clip of a Christian priest has been found enticing the tribal people. The Special Branch report also mentions the construction of a Church in the Hindu tribal dominated areas so that the conversions could be expedited. Ruling Bharatiya Janata Party supporters claim that 90 per cent of the primitive Pahadia tribe and 60 per cent of the tribals have been converted to Christianity in Littipara block. In Jharkhand the tribal population has decreased over the years from 32 per cent to 26.50 per cent. The conversions and arrival of people from other states are said to be the reason for the declining population of the tribals.

an employee of the local post office turned up at his house in the morning and informed him that he had won the state government’s Rakhi Bumper lottery. “I overheard the conversation my husband was having with the man from the post office. I thought they were just having a chat. But then the man came back with the newspaper and when Manoj matched the ticket number that he pulled out from his soiled trousers pocket, we were completely stunned,” says Raj Kaur. Manoj, who has already handed over the required documents to the state directorate for lotteries to claim his reward, says he will get the money in the next couple of months. “As word has spread, I am already being approached by property agents who are promising to help me buy the most fertile agricultural land around the

village. Some bankers too have called me up to brief me about good investment schemes,” he says. Though buying agricultural land is on his list, Manoj first wants to build a new house for his family so that he can get them out of the crumbling half-brickhalf-mud structure they call home.

Congress accuses Sitharaman of lying on Rafale, wants JPC New Delhi, Sep 13 (IANS): Firing a fresh salvo against the Modi government over the Rafale deal, the Congress on Thursday accused Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman of “lying” again” about the number of the France-built jets and demanded her and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to submit to a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe. “Defence Minister is caught lying again on the number of fighter aircraft required by Indian Air Force (IAF),” Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala told the media. “Her claim that IAF does not have the infrastructure like parking place, maintenance facility to fly 126 Fighter aircraft is preposterous and goes against the grain of national security requirements,” he said. He said Modi’s deci-

Nirmala Sitharaman

sion to “arbitrarily” reduce requirement of 126 fighter aircraft to 36 was “unexplainable”. His remarks were in reference to Sitharaman’s interview to a national daily wherein she has said that the “government chose to procure only 36 Rafale fighter aircraft from France in 2015, instead of the 126 being negotiated by the previous government, as infrastructure and other technical requirements of the IAF do not allow greater induction”.

Dismissing Sitharaman’s argument as “obnoxious” the Congress leader asked: “Can the government and IAF not create parking space/maintenance facility in 6-8 years period during which the aircraft will be delivered? “Can creation of parking space/maintenance facility be a ground for compromising air superiority and national security?” Surjewala also held Sitharaman “guilty” of not disclosing the fact that mandatory ‘Fast Track Procedure’ for affecting ‘emergency purchase’ was never followed by Modi at the time of announcement of purchase of 36 Rafale on 10th April, 2015”. He also indicted Sitharaman of “lying on the non-disclosure of price of Rafale” which she had agreed to publicly disclose in a press conference on Nov 17 2017.

Handling of Rohingya could Terror originating from Pak our shared concern with India: US have been better: Suu Kyi

Hanoi, Sep 13 (Agencies): In the face of global condemnation, Myanmar’s leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi on Thursday said that the handling of Rohingya Muslims, 700,000 of whom have fled to Bangladesh amid a brutal military campaign, could have been better, but still defended security forces from charges of civilian atrocities. Myanmar’s army is accused of mass rape, killings and setting fire to thousands of homes in the aftermath of an August 2017 attack by Rohingya militants on security outposts. A report issued two weeks ago by a specially appointed UN human rights team recommended prosecuting senior Myanmar commanders for genocide and other crimes. “There are of course ways in which with hindsight I think the situation could have been handled better,” Suu Kyi said, responding to questions during a one-on-one discussion at the World Economic Forum’s regional meeting in Hanoi. She still defended

Myanmar security forces, saying that all groups in western Rakhine state had to be protected. “We have to be fair to all sides,” Suu Kyi said. “The rule of law must apply to everyone. We cannot choose and pick.” Suu Kyi said the situation was complicated by the myriad ethnic minorities in the area, some of which are at risk of disappearing entirely and which include not just the Muslims and Rakhine Buddhists. Although the violence in Rakhine state has eased, Myanmar has to deal with its aftermath, especially the repatriation of the Muslim Rohingya who fled and the underlying causes of tension that makes them targets of discrimination and repression in overwhelmingly Buddhist Myanmar. Suu Kyi said that Myanmar is prepared to take those who fled back, but their return has been complicated by the fact that two governments are involved. Aid workers say conditions for a safe and orderly return of the refugees have not been met. Suu Kyi also rejected criticism over the show-trial

conviction last week of two Reuters news agency reporters who helped expose extrajudicial killings of 10 Rohingya men and boys. The reporters were both sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment on charges of possessing state secrets. US Vice President Mike Pence is among those who have condemned the verdicts and called for the journalists’ release. “The case has been held in open court,” Suu Kyi said. “If anyone feels there has been a miscarriage of justice I would like them to point it out.” “They were not jailed because they were journalists. They were jailed because … the court has decided they have broken the Official Secrets Act,” she said. Suu Kyi noted that the two can appeal their sentences. The lawyers for the journalists have said they will do whatever they can to get their clients freed. The two men testified that they had been framed by the police. Phil Robertson, deputy Asia director for Human Rights Watch, said that Suu Kyi was mistaken in saying the case was handled in accordance with the “rule of law.” “She fails to understand that real ‘rule of law’ means respect for evidence presented in court, actions brought based on clearly defined and proportionate laws, and independence of the judiciary from influence by the government or security forces,” he said in a statement. “On all these counts, the trial of the Reuters journalists failed the test.”

WASHINGTON, Sep 13 (PTI): The US shares India’s concern over the continued ability of terrorist outfits to operate on Pakistani soil, a senior Trump administration official said, stressing that tackling this core issue by Islamabad is critical to the prospects of its better relations with New Delhi. Alice Wells, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia, said conversations on counter-terrorism has always been a very impor-

tant part of the US-India relationship. “We have a thriving counter-terrorism dialogue. We have ongoing efforts by the US administration to sanction a range of global terrorists, including nearly a dozen Lashkare-Taiba (LeT) targets and aliases over the last year,” she said at an event at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). The LeT carried out the 2008 Mumbai terror attack, killing 166 people. “And certainly, with the 10th

anniversary of the Mumbai attack approaching, we share a concern over the continued ability of terrorists proxies to operate on Pakistani soil,” Wells said. Referring to a recent remark by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Ms Wells said the US was “looking for actions, not words” from the government of Pakistan. And obviously this is a shared concern (with India), she said. Pompeo, who recently visited Islamabad before he

Cast of ‘The Predator’ Discuss The Killer Of Their Film

Nagaland Post, Dimapur FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2018

Sarah Jessica Parker’s lawyer denies she failed to return $150,000 worth of Jewelry

987’s ‘Predator’ film is the stuff of legends. It starts with an army versus alien, but ends up tur ning into one man against an absolute killing machine. Sure it helps when that man is Arnold Schwarzenegger, but even the Schwarzenegger needed to use all of his intelligence and survival skills. There has been a ton of Predator films since then, and 2018’s ‘The Predator’ tries to break the mold of those. Shane Black, who actually played the “nerd” Hawkins in the original film, is now in the director’s chair, but what makes this version of the Predator the best, scariest, and most kind of intimidating kind of enemy? Well, you upgrade whats already unbeatable. In the above interview, Shane Black discusses what was so scary about the original, Boyd Holbrook tells us about the size of how big the creature was, Olivia Mann explains how its humanistic features makes it so strange.

he’s no jewel thief. Sarah Jessica Parker’s attorney defended the actress after she was accused of keeping $150,000 worth of jewelry from Kat Florence Design. “This is just plain false,” the Sex and the City alum’s lawyer, Ira Schreck, told Us Weekly in a statement on Wednesday, September 12. “SJP was under contract to Kat Florence and was asked to keep the jewelry so that she could wear it on red carpets and other events when appropriate. Sarah Jessica Parker is as honest and trustworthy a person as anyone I have ever met. She has never and would never hold onto anything belonging to someone else. In fact, she has been asking ever since Kat Florence wrongfully stopped paying her to have the pieces returned, but Kat Florence didn’t seem terribly interested in getting them back.” Hours earlier on Wednesday, Page Six reported that Parker, 53, is being sued by Kat Flor-

orm Macdonald is facing new backlash Thursday after he hoped to clear up his earlier #MeToo comments. The comedian drew the ire of social media after he told Howard Stern, ‘you’d have to have Down Syndrome’ not to feel sorry for victims of sexual abuse. Macdonald was attempting to explain away statements he made to The Hollywood Reporter in an

interview published Tuesday, in which the former “Saturday Night Live” star said he was “happy the #MeToo movement has slowed down a little bit.” Macdonald, who was promoting his Netflix talk show debuting on Friday, suggested there was a lack of “forgiveness” for entertainers who’ve found themselves embroiled in controversy. He used his friends and fellow comics, Louis C.K. and Roseanne

The over one minute teaser, which sees a high dose of CGI work, begins with a shot of birds circling over city skies, which later is being seen taken over by flying cell phones. People seem confused as the swirl of phones create havoc. Rajinikanth, who is reprising his role as Dr

Barr, as examples. “ N o w i t ’s a d m i t wrongdoing and you’re finished. And so the only way to survive is to deny, deny, deny. That’s not healthy,” he argued. “I do think that at some point it will end with a completely innocent person of prominence sticking a gun in his head and ending it.” Those comments quickly caused public outrage, and prompted NBC to cancel Macdonald’s appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s “Tonight Show.” He later apologized on Twitter, explaining that while Louis C.K. and Barr were “very good friends of mine” he “would never defend their actions.” The Arc, an organization for people with developmental disabilities, described MacDonald’s comment as “disturbing.” (FoxNews)

Vaseegaran and also Chitti, suggests that they take out Chitti the Robot and make him their weapon in the battle against Akshay’s character. He is heard saying: “This is beyond science, for this we need a superpower...

The film will hit the screens on November 29. “2.0” marks the Tamil debut of Akshay and his first film with Rajinikanth. The film also stars Adil Hussain and Sudhanshu Pandey. It is a sequel to the 2010 blockbuster “Enthiran (Robot)” which also featured Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The movie also has Amy Jackson in a supporting role. The music is by Oscar-winning composer A.R.

enry Cavill has responded to the reports that he’s facing the axe as the Man of Steel. It emerged yesterday that the actor may have played Superman for the last time, after scheduling talks broke down with Warner Bros. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros was hoping to enlist Cavill for a cameo in the forthcoming Shazam!, which sees Zachary Levi star as the titular hero. However, talks between the two parties reportedly broke down after Cavill’s role in Netflix’s The Witcher led to scheduling conflicts. H oweve r, a n o t h e r source said Warner Bros had opted to head in another direction after Justice League didn’t do as well as expected. Now, Cavill has responded to the rumours with a bizarre Instagram video. Posting on the site, he

shared a clip that sees him lifting a Superman doll in a ‘Krypton Lifting Team’ tshirt, captioned: ‘Today was exciting #Superman.” Warner Bros also responded to the speculation last night and refused to confirm Cavill’s departure. “While no decisions have been made regarding any upcoming Superman films, we’ve always had great respect for and a great relationship with Henry Cavill, and that remains unchanged”, a spokesperson confirmed. According to Deadline, Black Panther star Michael B. Jordan could be the next person to take up the role of Krypton’s favourite son. “The word has been out that Warner Bros. has been mulling a completely different direction with its Superman canon for some time, even considering casting Michael B. Jordan in the role down the road”, Deadline claimed. (NME)

The company allegedly agreed to let the Divorce star keep the pieces for two months, but the jewelry, including $40,706.72 earrings and a $27,115 ring, has still not been returned. It is seeking $150,000 in restitution. Kat Florence Design’s attorney shared the company’s side of the story in a statement to Page Six on Wednesday: “It is our position in this case that after a photo shoot as part of the

endorsement agreement, Ms. Parker requested that she could personally keep some of the pieces of the jewelry for a few months to wear personally. We agreed and documented what she had. This happened in March 2016. Over two years later, the jewelry was never returned to us. … We believe that as Ms. Parker has kept the jewelry since 2016 that she should pay us for it.” The lawyer claimed the two sides are meeting with a mediator in New York on Friday, September 14, in hopes of resolving the dispute.

Actor Biswajit to celebrate golden jubilee of his Bollywood work

esteryear's popular silver screen hero Biswajit Chatterjee will celebrate his golden jubilee of working in Bollywood films by performing live at a musical gala here on September 16. Refusing to share details of big names from Bollywood and the Bengali film industry who would take part in the musical evening 'Biswajit Chatterjee live', the veteran actor said his son and the Bengali superstar Prosenjit Chatterjee was expected to participate. "He is my son. So he is expected to attend," said Chatterjee, who made his mark in Bollywood films like 'Yeh Raat Phir Na Aayegi' and ;Night in London.' Chatterjee's maiden Bollywood movie was re-

leased in 1958 when he was a junior artist. Chatterjee regretted that despite working in Bengali films for almost 60 years, nothing has been done centred on him. Speaking about the current scenario in the Bengali film industry, he said: Films made today are not Bengali. Most of the Tamil and Telugu films are remade. Today's generation must understand that they have to make genuine Bengali films in order to survive." (IANS)

Eminem explains his reasons for dissing “pitiful” Machine Gun Kelly on ‘Kamikaze’

Eminem (Left) and Gun Kelly

minem has finally explained why he took aim at Machine Gun Kelly on new album ‘Kamikaze’ – after revealing that it is ‘a lot more petty’ than him speaking out on his daughter Hailie. Earlier this month, Eminem dropped surprise album ‘Kamikaze‘ – loaded with controversial moments and taking aim at many others with a number of ‘diss tracks‘. Among them was Machine Gun Kelly who came under attack on the song ‘Not Alike’. Kelly then hit back with the diss track ‘Rap Devil‘ – mocking his single ‘Rap God’. Now in his first interview since the album’s release, Eminem has revealed the real reason for the feud. In part 2 of the interview with Sway, he revealed that it was not because he called his daughter Halie ‘hot as fuck‘. Instead, he took aim at K

Like I’m trying to hinder his career”, Eminem told Sway. . Eminem also took aim at Machine Gun Kelly’s verse on Tech N9ne’s ‘No Reason (The Mosh Pit Song)’ – which sees claiming that Eminem is “just rap and not God”. “Now I’m in this fuckin’ weird thing, because I’m like, ‘I gotta answer this motherfucker,’” he said. “And every time I do that, it makes that person— as ‘irrelevant’ as people say I am in hip-hop—I make them bigger by getting into

I’m not sure exactly what I’m going to do at this point right now.” Eminem also admits he heard Kelly’s diss track ‘Rap Devil’, admitting it wasn’t “bad for him. He’s got some good lines in it.” On the track, Kelly claims that Eminem called P.Diddy in an attempt to receive an apology from him. “[…] It didn’t even feel like a diss to me. It just felt, like, pitiful.” He also confirmed rumours that he’s already been working on a response to Kelly. The feud dates back to 2012 over comments Machine Gun Kelly made about Eminem’s daughter on social media, tweeting that she was “hot as fuck.” Before the feud, Machine Gun Kelly often cited Eminem as one of his greatest influences. Now, he’s described their rift as ‘a battle between the past and the future’. The same interview also saw Eminem discuss criticism of his album ‘Revival‘, and how he ‘cringed’ at the accents he used on ‘Relapse‘. (NME)

Terry considering Chelsea offer

London, Sep 13 (Agencies): John Terry could be set for a return to Chelsea after his proposed move to Spartak Moscow fell through. The defender was set to join the Russian club on a free transfer after leaving Aston Villa, but at the last minute decided to pull the plug on the move despite having undergone a medical. He took to Instagram to explain that after considerable thought, he had reached the conclusion that he could not move his family to Rus-

sia.

But Terry is not ready to give up football altogether, and while he still on the lookout for a potential move as a player, Chelsea have report-

edly offered him a coaching role. If the 37-year-old is not offered the right playing contract, he will almost certainly take Chelsea up on the offer to join their coaching staff. His managerial ambitions are well known, and where better to begin than the club where he is universally adored? If he does return to Chelsea, he will join fellow Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola on the coaching team, after the Italian was appointed Maurizio Sarriâ€™s assistant in the summer.
