who could be excluded from the final list, the Assam government has already ruled out their detention “in any circumstances” till the time Foreigners Tribunals declare them foreigners. The final list was published at 10 am and the hard copies of the Supplementary List of Inclusions are available for public viewing at the
NRC Seva Kendras (NSK), offices of the deputy commissioner and offices of the Circle Officer during office hours, a statement by the NRC authority said. Hundreds of people began thronging these offices soon after the list was released, with some returning home happy and some disappointed. Notwithstanding
apprehensions about disquiet in the wake of the release of the NRC list, Assam was calm with no incident of violence or protests reported from anywhere. Prohibitory orders under section 144 CrPC were in force in several areas of the state, including Guwahati and Dispur, with over 20,000 central paramilitary
EC’s mega EVP launch today NEW DELHI, AUG 31 (PTI): Election Commission’s (EC) new mega Electors Verification Programme (EVP), which seeks to update electoral rolls through crowd sourcing, is set to be launched on September 1 across the country, officials said on Saturday. Under the programme, a voter from each family will get a username and password, allowing a person to upload all documents related to electoral registration and tag similar details about his or her family members, Delhi Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Ranbir Singh said at a press conference here. “These details will then be verified by block level officers (BLOs) and therefore, it will save a lot of time. The idea is also to empower voters to assess electoral roll details, self-authenticate and then get mistakes rectified, if any,” he said. The ‘mega million’ exercise will be done by 36 CEOs
at the state headquarters level, by 740 district electoral officers at the district level and by BLOs and electoral registration officers in around one million polling stations, the EC said. EC said, the summary revision draft will be published after that, with cut-off date being January 1, 2020, and the final roll will be published by the first or second week of January. In addition to the already approved seven documents three more documents will be used for authentication of electors’ details--PAN card, smart card issued by RGI under NPR; and latest water/telephone/electricity/ gas connection bill for that address, either in the name of the applicant or that of his/her immediate relation like parents etc. The citizens will also be allowed to submit verified documents from Digilocker for which provision has been made on prescribed digital platforms, EC added.
forces besides personnel of the state police patrolling the streets in towns and villages. Surprisingly enough, parties across the political divide called the final NRC faulty, with some saying they would appeal against it in the Supreme Court. Assam minister Himanta Biswa Sarma deplored that many people who came to India as refugees before 1971 were not included in the final citizenship roll. He demanded that the Supreme Court allow reverification of at least 20 per cent of samples included in the list in districts bordering Bangladesh and 10 per cent in the rest of Assam. Three-time chief minister of Assam Tarun Gogoi of the Congress said the Centre had failed in its duty to come up with a flawless NRC and that the people of Assam were feeling “helpless”. When the complete draft was released on July 30 last year, over 40 lakh people were excluded from the list. An additional 1,02,462 people were left out in June this year, taking the total number of those excluded to 41,10,169.

NE Cong leaders meet Sonia over NRC
New Delhi, Aug 31 (IANS): Soon after the much awaited final list of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) of Assam was released on Saturday morning, several Congress leaders met party interim President Sonia Gandhi to apprise her about the issue. The Congress leaders from the Northeast region including former Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma and party MP Gaurav Gogoi met Sonia Gandhi at her residence here. The meeting between the three leaders lasted for over an hour. After meeting Sonia Gandhi, Gaurav Gogoi told reporters: “We have apprised Soniaji about the issue and she along with other senior leadership will take a party stand on the NRC issue.” “Every section of Assam is unhappy with the status of NRC. Even BJP Ministers are complaining.

Careless implementation will result in many genuine Indian citizens to unnecessarily face the courts. Congress will provide all help. Nation above politics is our motto,” Gogoi tweeted later. After meeting the party Chief, Mukul Sangma said, “As you all know, the NRC is an exercise under the Assam Accord. The stand of our party is very clear that the rights of the real citizen should be safeguarded.” He said: “Now the details of who is a real citizen will be decided only after detailed information is out.” Before Sangma and Gogoi, former Uttarakhand
Chief Minister and the party’s Assam in-charge Harish Rawat also met Sonia Gandhi at her residence on the NRC issue. Over 19 lakh people have been excluded from the NRC final list, which has named 3.1 crore people as Indian citizens. The citizens’ registry was released online around 10 a.m. Saturday, ending six years of speculation over the exercise that identifies illegal foreigners living in Assam. The NRC has immense significance for the people of Assam as the state witnessed a six-year-long movement between 1979 and 1985 seeking detection and deportation of illegal Bangladeshis. The NRC updation process was started in the state on the orders of the Supreme Court in 2013. It is being carried out by the Registrar General of India and is being monitored by the apex court.
BJP fails to ensure error-free NRC: former CM Gogoi
Guwahati, Aug 31 (PTI): Former Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Saturday accused the ruling BJP of failing to ensure a free and fair NRC even with the entire administrative machinery at its disposal. He further slammed the saffron party for attempting to “hoodwink” the people following National Register of Citizens publication. “I am not happy with the way the NRC has been published with names of genuine Indian citizens left out and foreigners included”, the three-time former chief minister told reporters here. Union Home Minister Amit Shah as the BJP president had accused the Congress of not completing the NRC and had assured that they will bring out a free and fair citizens list, he said. IAS officer Prateek Hajela was appointed as the NRC state coordinator by Gogoi in 2013 and the former chief minister often claims credit for initiating the updation work during his tenure. “The BJP is also not happy with the published NRC and this shows how miserably they have failed. It is the state government which has the machinery to detect and decide who are foreigners with the help of its police, intelligence and administrative officers”, he said. The senior Congress leader said NEDA convenor Himanta Biswa Sarma’s was “trying to hoodwink people” with his statement that Supreme Court should allow at least 20 per cent re-verification of the names in border districts and 10 per cent in the rest of Assam as requested by the state and central governments earlier.

Amnesty Int’l voices concern over NRC final list Bengaluru, Aug 31 (PTI): As the National Register of Citizens (NRC) final list excluded 19.07 lakh people, Amnesty International India has appealed to the Assam government to ensure that the Foreigners Tribunals function with utmost transparency. It should function in line with the fair trial standards guaranteed under national and international laws, Akar Patel, Head of Amnesty International India, said in a statement here. “Several reports have demonstrated how the proceedings before Foreigners Tribunals are arbitrary, while their orders are biased and discriminatory,” he said. Patel expressed deep concern over the functioning of the 100 and more Foreigners Tribunals.
KSU reiterate their demand for NRC-like exercise in Meghalaya Shillong, Aug 31 (PTI): The Khasi Students’ Union (KSU) on Saturday reiterated its demand of carrying out an NRC-like exercise in Meghalaya for segregating the genuine tribal indigenous communities of the state in order to ensure their survival. The demand came following the publication of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam. The students’ body has also deployed volunteers along the Assam-Meghalaya border even as the anti-infiltration police is conducting random checks of all vehicles entering the state. KSU president L Marngar told PTI there is a need for NRC like exercise to protect indigenous communities. The indigenous communities had become minorities in several pockets of Meghalaya as migrants
from different parts of the country as well as from Bangladesh and Nepal had made the north-eastern state their home, he said. The KSU had appealed to the state government in this regard last year as well. It had reiterated that 1971 should be the cut-off year to segregate the genuine and non-genuine residents of the state. The KSU chief also expressed apprehension that many of those 19 lakh plus people, who did not make it to the NRC in Assam, would try to infiltrate into Meghalaya. Meghalaya shares a 900-km border with Assam. Vehicles coming to Meghalaya from Assam were being randomly checked to ascertain whether those not included in the NRC were trying to enter the state illegally, a senior antiinfiltration police officer said.
Assam woman commits suicide ahead of NRC list
G u wa h at i , A u g 3 1 (IANS): A woman in Assam's Sonitpur district on Saturday committed suicide shortly before the state's final National Register of Citizens (NRC) list was released. The incident took place at No 1 Dolabari village, 4 km from Tezpur town. Residents of the village said the victim, Shayera Begun, jumped in a well in the backyard of her house. "She was tensed about inclusion of her name in the NRC," said some of the villagers, adding that she
thought non-inclusion would land the victim and her family in detention centres. But Sonitpur Superintendent of Police Kumar Sanjit Krishna dismissed the claim, saying: "The woman was mentally ill. We were told that she jumped into the well and committed suicide. Names of all the members of the family were included in the NRC." The final list was published on Saturday morning. Some 19,06,657 people have been excluded from the final list, which names 3,11,21,004 people as Indian citizens.
Official NRC website crashes due to heavy traffic
Guwahati, Aug 31 (IANS) : The official website of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) crashed within a few minutes of the publication of the much-awaited final list in Assam on Saturday. The website www.nrcassam.nic.in apparently crashed due to heavy traffic with an error message reading “The site cannot be reached”. The site belonging to the Office of the State Coordinator of National Registration (NRC), Assam, however, was restored shortly. Altogether 19,06,657 people in Assam have been left out of the final NRC list. It names 3,11,21,004 people as Indian citizens.
Security tightened in Mizoram after NRC Aizawl, Aug 31 (PTI): Security was beefed up in Mizoram and police stations and border outposts along the 123 km Mizoram-Assam border were alerted on Saturday in view of the publication of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in neighbouring Assam, Mizoram Inspector General of Police (Headquarters) John Neihlaia said. Police personnel have been deployed along the Assam border to prevent any untoward incident due to the publication of the NRC final list and also to prevent possible influx of those left out of it into Mizoram, Neihlaia told PTI. “The border areas were peaceful with no report of any incidents till this evening. “Arrangements are also in place to rush additional forces to face any eventuality arising out of publication of the final NRC in Assam,” he added.

13 killed in chemical factory explosion MUMBAI, AUG 31 (PTI): At least 13 workers were killed and 58 others injured in chain explosions of nitrogen gas cylinders at a chemical factory in Dhule district of Maharashtra on Saturday morning, police said. Prima facie, a leaking chemical from a barrel triggered fire which led to serial explosions in the factory in Waghadi village in Shirpur taluka around 9:45 am, a senior police officer told PTI. “13 workers have been killed while 58 others were injured in the explosion of nitrogen gas cylinders at the chemical factory,” he said. At least 100 workers were present in the factory at the time of the incident, he added. The officer said the rescue operation at the spot is still going on while the blaze has been brought under control. Teams of fire brigade, police, State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) are conducting the relief and rescue operations. The deafening sound of explosions caused panic in the vicinity prompting many people to rush out of their houses. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has expressed grief over the loss of lives in the explosion and announced Rs 5 lakh compensation to the kin of the deceased. “CM Devendra Fadnavis expressed grief over loss of lives in explosion at chemical factory near

Shirpur in Dhule district. Guardian Minister, Collector, SP on spot. SDRF team reached too and now fire is under control. CM Devendra Fadnavis also announced 5 lakh to the kin of deceased,” the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) tweeted. The concerned factory Rumit Chemsynth Pvt Ltd. manufactures a chemical used for making medicines. The officer said that presence of a number of nitrogen gas cylinders and barrels containing chemicals in the factory increased the severity of the blasts. “Prima facie, a fire
was triggered due to leak of chemical from a barrel which spread to cylinders causing blasts,” the officer said. Police initially suspected the boiler of the company has exploded, but have found it to be intact. The injured have been admitted at the Dhule civil hospital and Shirpur Cottage Hospital. All deceased have been identified. A contingent of Riot Control Police has been deployed at the spot along with local police personnel. Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah spoke to Fadnavis and took stock of the situation arising
out of the explosion at the chemical factory. During the telephonic conversation, the chief minister conveyed to the home minister that the state government has been doing its best to help those who are in distress. “Anguished to learn about the loss of lives due to explosion at a chemical factory in Dhule, Maharashtra. Have spoken to CM @ Dev_Fadnavis, state govt is doing everything possible to assist the people in need. My condolences with the bereaved families. May injured recover soon,” Shah tweeted.
ED attaches Rs 1.08-cr assets of Shimla-based firm NEW DELHI, AUG 31 (PTI): ED on Saturday said it has attached assets worth over Rs 1.08 cr of a Shimla-based company and its promoters in connection with bank fraud and moneylaundering case. It said a provisional order for attachment of assets has been issued against Zoya Resorts and Hotel under PMLA. The total value of the attached properties is over Rs 1.08 cr, the agency said in a statement. “Attached assets consists of two plots of Zoya Resorts and Hotel including construction over them at Mohal Sadhora village, Shimla and a flat of Lal Chand Shyam situated at Royal Oaks Apartment, Mauja Kaithu, Shimla,” ED said. Investigation found that a loan of Rs 1.5 cr was sanctioned by the Central Bank of India, Shimla, to the firm, out of which Rs 1.25 cr was disbursed to the current account of the company in “gross violation” of the terms and conditions laid down in the loan agreement, it alleged. Partners of the firm, Rajesh Mukhyan and Neenu Shyam and Lal Chand Shyam (guarantor of loan availed by Zoya Resorts and Hotel) in “connivance” with the then chief manager of the bank, P K Srivastava, and former senior manager Indira Kashyap forged “a criminal conspiracy” at the stage of loan application and defrauded the bank, it charged.
CBI takes over probe into politicians phone tapping in Cong-JDS govt NEW DELHI, AUG 31 (PTI): The CBI has taken over investigation into alleged phone tapping of politicians, their relatives and bureaucrats during the previous Congress-JD(S) government in Karnataka, officials said on Saturday. The Karnataka government had requested the CBI to take over the probe in the case from the cyber crime wing of Bengaluru Police, they said. The BJP government in the state had ordered a
CBI enquiry on August 19, they said. “It has come to the notice of the government that there are apprehensions that phones of several ruling and opposition political leaders, their relatives, and other government officials have been intercepted in an illegal unauthorised unwarranted manner,” the letter entrusting the probe to the CBI said. Because of this illegal activity in the state it is apprehended that crucial
IRCTC to restore service charges on e-tickets
DGCA suspends SpiceJet pilot for mishearing ATC
NEW DELHI, AUG 31 (PTI): E-tickets bought through IRCTC will get costlier as the Indian Railways has decided to restore service charges from September 1, order said. The IRCTC will levy a service charge of Rs 15 per ticket for non-AC classes and Rs 30 for AC classes, including first class, according to the August 30 order issued by IRCTC. Goods and Services Tax (GST) will be applicable separately. The service charges were withdrawn three years ago to promote digital payments, a pet project of the Narendra Modi-led BJP government. IRCTC used to levy a service charge of Rs 20 on every non-AC e-ticket and Rs 40 for every AC ticket before it was withdrawn. Earlier this month, the Railway Board had given its approval to the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) to restore the mechanism of charging service charge from passengers booking online tickets. In a letter dated August 30, the Board had said the IRCTC, railways ticketing and tourism arm, had made a “detailed case” for the restoration of service charge on booking of e-ticket and the matter has been examined by the “competent authority”. It further said the Finance Ministry has contended that the scheme of waiving of service charges was a temporary one and that the railway ministry could begin charging e-tickets.
NEW DELHI, AUG 31 (PTI): Aviation regulator DGCA on Saturday suspended a first officer of SpiceJet for three months for mishearing an Air Traffic Control clearance, due to which he gave incorrect direction to the pilot-incommand (PIC), causing runway incursion at Mumbai airport, said a source. “DGCA probe found that Atul Yadav, who was first officer on Surat-Mumbai flight on July 5, told the PIC that their plane was cleared by ATC to cross runway 14. The truth is the clearance was given to the IndiGo plane that was ahead of his plane,” the source told PTI. The SpiceJet plane had

The government asked the agency to inquire into all such interceptions of “telephones of political leaders belonging to the ruling party and opposition parties as well as their associates, relatives and also of the government servants from August 01, 2018 till August
the call sign SEJ2763. When the regulator issued a show-cause notice to Yadav on August 19, he responded by admitting his mistake and stating the incursion happened on July 5 because another plane with a similar call sign — which was ahead of their plane — had received the ATC clearance to cross runway 14, the source said. The aircraft ahead of the SpiceJet plane was of IndiGo and it had a call sign IGO063, the source said. In the last few weeks, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation has suspended many pilots of SpiceJet and other airlines for similar runway incursion or excursion incidents.

19, 2019”. It urged the agency to identify and investigate those involved in the interception. The letter was forwarded to the CBI on August 30 by the Centre which was converted into an FIR against unidentified public servants and private persons on the same day. The agency has registered the FIR under the provisions of the Information Technology Act, 2000 and Indian Telegraph Act,
1885. Soon after taking over as chief minister of BJP government in the state, B S Yediyurappa had announced a CBI probe amid signs that the scandal was gaining political steam ever since disqualified JD(S) MLA A H Vishwanath, who served as JD(S) state president and turned rebel, accused the H D Kumaraswamy government of tapping phones and spying on more than 300 people, including him.
In 55 hours, no question on shell firms, money trail: Chidambaram NEW DELHI, AUG 31 (AGENCIES): For mer Union minister P Chidambaram, who has been remanded to another three days of CBI custody in connection with the probe into charges of alleged corruption in INX Media case, on Friday told a special court that he has been questioned for over 55 hours, during which more than 400 questions were put to him. He replied them promptly, even though the agency claimed he has been evasive and non cooperative, he submitted. The senior Congress leader also opposed the CBI’s demand for further five days of his custodial interrogation. He told Special CBI Judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar that he was repeatedly shown only three files during questioning, and was shown the same even on Friday for over two-and-ahalf hours. “There is simply no justification to keep me in custody. No question on bank accounts, shell companies and money transfers (were asked),” Chidambaram, who himself was making the submission, said. He told the court, “In the Supreme Court, there was a mutual suggestion (by his and the CBI’s counsels) to extend my custody till Monday (September 2) since the matter was listed for that day (his application challenging the trial court’s remand order is listed for hearing).”
P Chidambaram (File)
Chidambaram made the submission following confusion over who had made the suggestion to keep him in custody until September 2. Chidambaram’s counsel, Senior Advocate Dayan Krishnan, urged the court that the CBI’s application for five-day remand be kept pending until September 2, when the Supreme Court takes up the matter challenging the remand. Stating that “we do not mind” being in police custody until Monday, Krishnan said, “We have serious issue on the nature of questions asked by CBI. (There was) not a single document on money trail, shell companies shown to me in over 55 hours of questioning since my custody.” Special Judge Kuhar said, “It is not a question of your choice…. This application has to be disposed of today, as there will be a new application on Monday.” Appearing for CBI, Additional Solicitor General (ASG) K M Natraj told the

We are taking time because he (Chidambaram) is not straight giving answers; he takes a lot of time in answering.” The court asked CBI why it did not seek 15 days of custody on the first day itself. The court said, “You were aware about the volume of documents, still you sought time in piece meal. On day one you should have asked for 15 days. In this manner your remand will continue for months or more.” The court extended the remand until September 2 in view of submissions made by CBI and Chidambaram’s counsel.

The reason for opening shops after 12 noon was mainly to address the demands of people and especially concerns of those businesses dealing with perishable items, groceries, confectionaries, medicine, hotels, restaurants, and travel agencies. It is not the first time that the issue on closure of all markets and shops on Sunday has come up in Dimapur as there had been previous such orders issued by authorities with regard to relaxation. There are broadly two view points on the opposite spectrum-one that favors Sunday closed and the other that finds logic in partial closure on Sunday. There are those who support ban on Sunday shopping and those who want partial ban but exempt shops such as bakeries and restaurants to remain open on Sundays. The views of the Sunday closure group is rooted in total rest on Sunday- no work or no business as usual. Sunday shopping refers to the ability of retailers to operate stores on Sundays, in countries where Christian tradition typically requires a "day of rest". Rules governing shopping hours, such as Sunday shopping, vary around the world but it is observed as a day of closure in some European nations. Even otherwise, it is logical that establishments ought to close at least once a week and so Sunday is the best option for a break since it is a day of rest as per the biblical tenet. The day is also a universal holiday for all offices and institutions. Every establishment except hospitals, newspaper offices or police stations normally remain closed on Sunday. Others who disagree feel that that Sunday shopping should not result in total closure but partially relaxation since some people find it convenient to shop on Sunday as the holiday provides much needed time for outing and shopping. To put is bluntly, perhaps when it comes to eating, no religion can stop hunger. The issue of whether to impose closure or partial closure may continue but this has not stopped hundreds of shoppers from Dimapur travelling to Khatkhati market on Sunday. To beat the ban, many can be seen going to railway stations or nearby Khatkhati to eat. These days owing to various necessities or schedules, even Christians cannot avoid traveling on Sunday. Those arriving Dimapur enroute other places would be inconvenienced if all eating places were closed. It must be accepted, that observance can never be total as there is bound to be some unavoidable exceptions but these exceptions cannot become the rule either. On the other hand, Christians cannot accept only a portion of the Bible that is convenient and reject those that are inconvenient. Unfortunately, when Sunday loses its fundamental meaning and becomes merely part of a 'weekend,' it can so happen that people would stay locked within a horizon so limited that they can no longer see 'the heavens’. Even if they live in a secular world, Christians cannot ignore their responsibility in obeying the commandments of their faith and not only on Sunday. On the other hand of adherents voluntarily choose to obey the Biblical commandments, they will be showing through examples and Sunday shopping would cease to be an issue.
DailyDevotion “My Joy…Your Joy”
These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. —John 15:11 What was the joy that Jesus had? Joy should not be confused with happiness. In fact, it is an insult to Jesus Christ to use the word happiness in connection with Him. The joy of Jesus was His absolute selfsurrender and self-sacrifice to His Father— the joy of doing that which the Father sent Him to do— “… who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross…” (Hebrews 12:2). “I delight to do Your will, O my God…” (Psalm 40:8). Jesus prayed that our joy might continue fulfilling itself until it becomes the same joy as His. Have I allowed Jesus Christ to introduce His joy to me? Living a full and overflowing life does not rest in bodily health, in circumstances, nor even in seeing God’s work succeed, but in the perfect understanding of God, and in the same fellowship and oneness with Him that Jesus Himself enjoyed. But the first thing that will hinder this joy is the subtle irritability caused by giving too much thought to our circumstances. Jesus said, “…the cares of this world,… choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful” (Mark 4:19). And before we even realize what has happened, we are caught up in our cares. All that God has done for us is merely the threshold— He wants us to come to the place where we will be His witnesses and proclaim who Jesus is. Have the right relationship with God, finding your joy there, and out of you “will flow rivers of living water” (John 7:38). Be a fountain through which Jesus can pour His “living water.” Stop being hypocritical and proud, aware only of yourself, and live “your life…hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3). A person who has the right relationship with God lives a life as natural as breathing wherever he goes. The lives that have been the greatest blessing to you are the lives of those people who themselves were unaware of having been a blessing.

Interfacing political class, police force & patriarchal lines
I
t has been one of the most raging and intriguing question for some thinking people and humanists in particular in recent times is: Why should the Muslims, Indigenous people and the Dalits in particular die in police custody and undergo all forms of tortures in police stations or when they get arrested? Though there have been some data available on this mostly confines to a particular district or state; we do not have a comprehensive data available in recent times as we have been witnessing a spate of attacks and death of the Muslims, Dalits and Tribals particularly the recent ones. The question that surfaced unfolds many facts which would stupefy many of us. “One in every two Indian policemen believes that Muslims are “very much” or “somewhat” prone to committing crimes and that police complaints of atrocities against Scheduled Caste and tribals are “false and motivated”, says a study on police prejudice. Further, Karnataka police personnel topped the list when it came to believing Muslims and Scheduled Caste are “very much” prone to committing crimes, with 26% and 22% of policemen exhibiting the prejudice respectively. The
data put together works out 50%, if one takes into consideration those who believe these groups are “somewhat” into criminal activities. It’s appalling. The startling revelations are part of the Status of Policing in India report 2019: Police Adequacy and working Conditions prepared by Lokniti-Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (Lokniti-CSDS) and Common Cause which covered about 11,836 police personnel, including 2,416 women and 10,595 of their family members in 21 states. The core reason and propelling factor posited is “An institutional bias against the marginalized sections further increases the vulnerability of these groups,” the report added. It is reflected in their thinking and actions. The report further states that “half of the police personnel in 15 out of 21 states surveyed believe that complaints under SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act are “very much” or “somewhat” false and motivated”. Hence, the mental make-up of the police force barring a few is casteist. Social, religio-cultural and communal prejudices and fixations have corroded the mindsets of those in polity and in police force. Their mind-set moves in such ways that those be-
longing to the Muslim, Dalit and Tribal communities have the criminal tendencies and thus prone to criminal activities. It is tightly embedded in their psyche and so they talk and act against these communities. The caste and religious prejudices and biases are enmeshed in their mindsets and their actions are driven by these fixations. The political class by and large and the ideologies of some political parties resonates these aspects and facets. Their mission and vision are solely dependent on annihilating these categories of people. Indian society to a large extent reflects the corroded mindsets that consider the Muslims, Dalits and the Indigenous people as the “Others”. To substantiate, the sorts of prejudices is the highest among the Uttar Pradesh police (82%) followed by Andhra Pradesh police (74%). Thirty percent of Karnataka police believe “very much” in this prejudice, while another 25% believe such cases are “somewhat” not true. Therefore, we can co-relate the data with the Government that rules any state. Uttar Pradesh tops in the atrocities against the Muslims, Dalits and Tribals and there is no reprieve, while on the other they are on
Freedom is responsibility
N
agaland, currently one of the States in Northeast India continues to carry the history of fighting for the Naga freedom since 1947 when India unquenchably pulled Nagaland within the Indian Territory. There are very good and invincible Naga freedom fighters who powerfully exercise vision of liberating the Nagas from the forceful Indian citizenships. Not many Nagas today have comprehensive understanding of the Nagas fighting for the freedom. Very often the concept of freedom is misconstrued as Dependant status than Independent. In numerous cases both old and young Nagas fear of empty Nagaland if Nagas get independent. In the sense that, the subsistence of Nagaland rely on the supplies from India. They say, if Nagaland gets Independence, Nagas have nothing to stand on or consume for there are no industries, natural resources, universities, companies, and institutions and so on. According to these people Nagaland is ineligible to fight for Freedom. Thus, freedom/ Independence belongs only to the haves people and the place. However, the reality of Freedom is not expecting continues support from others or in the case of the Nagas, it is not the expectation of continues support from India even after post Naga Independence. Freedom is responsibility, when India no more controls Nagaland, Naga people will take care of Nagaland with more responsibilities. It is like Children taking care of themselves when parents no more control them and when they are free from control, the create more responsibilities. Responsibility of self reliance, generate and regenerate from within. Nagas are obliged to work for themselves for the growth of Nagaland when freedom is declared. Responsible in Latin word is respondeo, means answerable and accountable (J.R.Lucas. 1970), Robert’s quote from Oxford Dictionary means a charge, trust, or duty. Therefore, freedom and responsibility are two
sides of a coin (Robert. 2016). Naga people are responsible to remain answerable and accountable to freedom. It is the freedom to create new Nagaland by the Nagas, not by others, not the freedom to exist upon the Indian established Nagaland. Gustavo Gutterrez, a liberation theologian in his book “we drink from our own wells” (Gutterrez. 1983), says that people no longer depend on others to ascertain comforts, happiness, blessings, developments, spiritual strength and so on. They have to work hard and produce from within and prove the oppressors that they are not incapable people. When captivity ends and liberation begins, it establishes the real responsibility of the people. Responsibility to generate own needs, products, own markets, factories, import and export commodities. On the other hand is the fight of the people for self responsibilities. Shiv Khera, an Indian writer says “freedom is not an ancestral property” (Khera. 2005), similarly, Nagaland is not Indian ancestors’ property. Therefore, Naga freedom fighters fight for their rights to remain independent in their own land with no authority of India. Nagas fight for freedom not because they have everything, they fight for their rights of free people and free to carry self responsibility to build own Nation. He also says “freedom is not free” that in attaining freedom, people are compelled to engage, participate, work hard and remain busier to build a nation than before. Freedom is not readymade package liberation from captivity to bed of roses. Freedom means independent, the paradox of dependent. In an independent world, almost everything becomes new beginning from within with no more external spoon feeding or it is a departed soul from dependent world. Freedom is a power of self reliance which abrogates the power of oppression and expectations from others. Naga people do not necessarily have skyscraper, multimillion companies, factories,
universities, malls, metro ways and well developed place and modernized people to have freedom from India. Freedom for the Nagas is the responsibility to preserve the inheritance of being independent people from the beginning, since prior to the Indian Independence. Freedom for Nagas is beyond development, it is a collective responsibility of all the Nagas. Eddy M. Soufrant, a scholar of global development ethics, collective responsibility means, the actions, choices, ramification and the condition that people inherit (2013). Freedom for Nagas is the collective action to create obligatory actions and implementations collectively. Fighting for the Naga freedom does not mean Naga people have developed everything. Freedom itself comes concurrently with the highest responsibility to start working on establishing or developing the Naga society in every single aspect to support and make Nagaland self reliance country. Every single Naga is called to engage in the rigorous responsibility more and more in the history of his/her existence to build the Naga nation as Independent Nagaland. Like peace is not absence of war, freedom is not just absence of oppression, it goes beyond them. “the tree of freedom grows only when it is watered with the sweat of who love freedom” (Khera. Ibid), Naga freedom requires the sweat of every single Naga to beautify and grow freedom Nagaland. The beautification of Naga freedom emanates from the challenges, competition, discovery, invention, manufacturing, resilience, excavation and hardworking minds of the Nagas. Subsequently, these are the responsibilities proliferate from freedom. Hence, people should stop saying that Nagaland has nothing to get freedom. In fact that nothing itself is a well preserved space for the Nagas to create many things with inevitable responsibilities from freedom.

the rise because the party that governs and the police force that ought to dispense law and order are clouded with prejudices and with corroded mind-sets. Indian society as such is castedriven and propelled by stereo-types. For example, policemen in Bihar, Karnataka and West Bengal have the “highest levels of bias” against women in the force compared to their counterparts in other states, a new survey found. Those who are supposed to dispense law and order justly and impartially enmeshed with corroded mindsets and so “such opinions by people in position of power place within the criminal justice system are bound to have an impact on the manner in which the provisions of such law are implemented”. “About two-thirds of policemen in Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, Maharashtra and Bihar held the opinion that Muslims were likely to be naturally prone (very much and somewhat) to committing violence. In Uttarakhand, this figure was as high as 79%”. In addition, “Policemen from Karnataka (22%) and UP (19%) had the highest amount of personnel believing that people from the Scheduled Caste were highly likely to be prone
to committing crimes”. By and large, the police force believes that these communities are “some what” prone to committing violence. Maharashtra and Uttarakhand has 50% such personnel”. UP Police more than half believe that Upper-caste Hindus are “very much” or “somewhat” naturally prone to committing violence. Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka had the highest number of police personnel who believe “OBCs to be very likely to be naturally prone to committing violence (15% reporting as ‘very much’). Patriarchy continues to be another triggering point wherein the polity and police have their distinct ways of viewing women. For instance, personnel from Bihar, Karnataka and West Bengal in particular are most likely to believe that police women are “less hardworking, less efficient and should focus on their household duties”, according to the Status of Police in India Report: Police Adequacy and Working Conditions. The study based on the survey covering 11, 836 police personnel including 2,416 women, and 10, 595 of their family members finds that an overall 23% personnel have “high bias” against women person-
nel. While 25% of men have “high bias”, 23% women also share this view. Shockingly, “Men in police were found to harbor much stronger stereotypes compared to their female counterparts. Male police personnel are more likely to agree with the gender stereotypical statements” the report states. Asserting that Indian police system “reeks of bias” against women working in the police, the report said “one in every four male police personnel has a ‘high’ degree of bias against women in police, while a significant proportion of male police personnel were also found to have ‘medium’ degree of bias (16%). Among men, 60% personnel in Bihar, 44% in Karnataka and 39% in West Bengal had high bias against their women counterpart”. Therefore, Indian society is enmeshed with caste and communal prejudices and is indeed patriarchal. The psyche and mind-set of most of the Indians are mired with caste, communal and patriarchal blinkers and the Indian structure and systems of governance echoes and reflects these. Polity, law-enforcing agencies and institutions of governance edify the corroded mind-sets engrained in their psyche. Dr. John Mohan Razu
Many students miss their chances
N
agaland is known as the land of Festivals and it is blest with many tribes of people. In general, the people are good at heart and the tourists find comfortable with their accompaniment for they are adjustable people. However, it is sad that the state government does not recognise all these potentialities in the state to develop the Tourism department in order to increase the economy of its people. The roads are bad, dusty and uncomfortable for the tourists to visit this beautiful state. Nagaland would be one of the best tourists-visiting if the roads are good. Business, standard of living and the economy of the people will be better than any other state in India if the Tourism Department is well taking care of in the state. Thus, improve the road condition and the state will be flourishing in its economy. The state has a good literacy rate compared to many North-eastern states. Hence, there are many potentialities of creating employment to the unemployed youth, if the roads are good. Nagaland is a wonderful and attractive state with lots of potentialities in Education, Festivals and the Beauty of Nature. However, it is sad that not only the Tourism department failed to execute its duty but also the University. In all the five years of my studies under Nagaland University, the result is always late. Therefore, I wonder why so long time they need to do the correction and declare the result for its students. Having talked with the many students in the state, they say that the university purposely declare the result late so that its students should remain in the university and not going out of the state for studies. Thus, if this is true to reality then the purpose of the university in serving the students of Nagaland is wrong and unacceptable. In my opinion, the university will attract more students only if the result is declared on time. It is so unfortunate for the students of Nagaland to miss many opportunities in the state as well
as outside the state just because the result is late. Being a student of Nagaland University from outside Nagaland, I feel the pain of my classmates who miss the opportunities in many fields such as academic career as well as jobs appointment just because the final result is late. This article is written to express the feelings of the students who miss lots of opportunities because of the late declaration of the final result. I just wonder why Nagaland University takes months to declare the final result of the B.Ed students (20172019). In fact, the fourth semester students have only one theory paper and the rest are all practical. Therefore, I do not know why they take so long time to do the correction for only one paper. The hue and cry of my classmates from Nagaland who miss the opportunities in jobs appointment and higher studies forced me to write this article. On the other hand, this article is meant to express the difficulties of the students who are asked to produce their final documents in these coming days. The higher education and any public offices in the state must know that the students (applicants) cannot produce their final documents on time because the university haven’t declared the result yet. As a result, it will be a great shame to the university if its students are rejected in their own state just because they cannot produce their final documents on time. In my past five years under Nagaland University I feel sorry many students who miss their chances for higher education. The final result is always late and the students had to wait for one full year to get opportunities and excel their dreams in academic career. Lastly, I hope the university will declare the final B.Ed result soon in order to help those students who are asked to produce the final documents in various jobs appointment and higher studies.

Reader’s Post Sir,
Frequent load shedding
I venture to voice my views regarding the frequent load shedding in Dimapur area. It is hidden to none that electricity has become a basic necessity in our everyday life. Breakdowns cause a great difficulty and confusions. Even the Students are unable to study properly especially during exams because of load shedding. The only thing we depend on is proper electricity. During summer days places like Dimapur has a temperature of even 39°C and it gets utterly hot and unable to survive. The power supply gets snapped anytime plunging the entire area into darkness. After an hour or so, the power supply is restored and we heave a sigh of relief. The curse of load shedding has become like a Chronic Disease that damages the normal life of the people. Yes, if it were an occasional event, no one would have bothered about it, because sudden breakdown of a generation station might cause it. But it has now become almost a regular occurrence which goes to prove mere negligence and inefficiency of the state Electricity Board. It is not known what can be their excuse on this kind of major lapse especially during summer. We must, by all means get rid of this kind of Load- Shedding that is going to almost paralyze our normal lives, especially after Dusk.

A 19-yearold man was arrested on Friday for reporting a false case of child lifting in a Noida village, police said. Before that on Wednesday, police arrested a man from Wajidpur village for allegedly spreading rumour about lifting of three children by car-borne men in Sector 135 of Noida. The same day, a health department team was attacked by a violent mob of around 150 people in Fatehpur district after they suspected the officials to be child lifters. In another incident, 10 people, including two policemen, were injured when a group of locals pelted stones at them in Khesahan village under Ghazipur police station area.

1522 by Sikh faith founder Guru Nanak Dev. Pakistan and India are still discussing the modalities regarding opening of the corridor at Narowal, some 125-km from Lahore, on the occasion of 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak in November. Over the past few months many rounds of meetings have been held on the Kartarpur corridor during which the experts from the two sides have discussed its alignment, coordinates and other engineering aspects of the proposed crossing points. In July, delegations of the two countries had held a meeting on the Pakistani side of the AttariWagah border to discuss the modalities of the Kartarpur corridor. The corridor will also be the first visa-free corridor between the two neighbours since their independence in 1947. Pakistan is building the corridor from the Indian border to the Gurdwara Darbar Sahib, while the other part from Dera Baba Nanak up to the border will be constructed by India.
LUCKNOW, AUG 31 (PTI): Mobs thrashed six people, including a Delhi resident and a woman beggar, over rumours of child-lifting in three fresh incidents in Uttar Pradesh, despite the police warning to invoke the National Security Act against those spreading such canard. Attacks over rumours of child-lifting have increased over the past week in the state. On Thursday, Director General of Police O P Singh said 82 people have been arrested for spreading rumours about child theft, but incidents of public thrashing have continued. Singh had warned authorities will invoke NSA against rumour mongers. Under the Act, a person can be detained for as long as required and authorities need not disclose the grounds of detention. On Saturday, police said a Delhi resident was attacked in Muzaffarnagar when he was on a personal visit to the district. They said Anandpuri area residents suspected him to be a child lifter and thrashed him on Friday but an investigation found he was innocent. In Ballia, a mob physically assaulted a woman beggar on Friday, suspecting her of being a child lifter in Kotwali Police Station area. The woman was rescued by police. In Banda, four labourers were beaten up in Atarra township. Police said the labour-

Singh said a team of DoNER Ministry has been deputed to tour Jammu and Kashmir and suggest how best the Northeast’s successful initiatives in areas like fruit industry, handicraft, horticulture, handloom, organic farming, hometourism, bamboo entrepreneurship, rural livelihood, etc could be replicated in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, an official statement said. The Northeast model of development is there before everyone and there is no reason why it cannot be implemented in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, he said.
NEW DELHI, AUG 31 (PTI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said the Modi government is committed to completing the Kartarpur Sahib corridor within the stipulated time. The assurance of the home minister came a day after India and Pakistan held a meeting of the technical committee at the Zero Point in Gurdaspur in Punjab on the opening of the Kartarpur corridor, amid fresh tensions between the two countries after Jammu and Kashmir’s special status was scrapped. Extending greetings, to “especially my sisters and brothers of Sikh community” on the auspicious occasion of ‘Parkash Purab of Guru Granth Sahib ji’, Shah hoped that the light of holy Guru Granth Sahib would continue to guide everyone and provide the strength to serve the nation better. “I also reiterate the commitment of Modi govt to complete the work on Kartarpur Sahib Corridor within the time frame,” he tweeted. The home minister said the teachings of the Guru Granth Sahib enshrine the message of universal brotherhood, peace and righteous way of life. The corridor will connect Darbar Sahib in Pakistan’s Kartarpur with Dera Baba Nanak shrine in Gurdaspur district and facilitate visa-free movement of Indian Sikh pilgrims, who will have to just obtain a permit to visit Kartarpur Sahib, which was established in

NEW DELHI, AUG 31 (PTI): A team of the DoNER Ministry will soon visit Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh to suggest ways to replicate in the region the successful initiatives taken in the Northeast in areas like handicraft, horticulture and organic farming, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said. Chairing a meeting of officials, Singh, who is Minister for Development of the North Eastern Region (DoNER), said Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh were denied the enormous transformation brought about by the Modi government in different sectors before the abrogation of Article 370 provisions and bifurcation of the state.

In the last five years, with the personal indulgence and patronage from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Northeastern region underwent revolutionary transformation which is being lauded all over, he said. Unfortunately, Jammu and Kashmir, despite several similarities with the Northeast, could not avail of the highest priority accorded by the Modi government to far flung and peripheral states. Singh said in many ways Jammu and Kashmir suffers from lesser constraints compared to the Northeastern region. For example, he said, Jammu and Kashmir has much better connectivity with frequent rail service and short duration air flights as well as all-weather four-lane road connection with rest of the country. In spite of this, he said, “the question that we must address is why Jammu and Kashmir could not benefit by an equal transformational progress compared to possibly more difficult terrain of North Eastern region”.

MEC team visits PackPlus 2019
The visiting MEC members with Lalit Kalra of Prakash Machinery Pvt. Ltd India after closing a business deal in New Delhi on Saturday.
Dimapur, Aug 31 (NPN): A four-member team of Mokokchung Entrepreneurs Consortium (MEC) visited PackPlus 2019, India’s biggest exhibition on packaging, converting and supply chain industries, held at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi from August 28 to 31. The MEC team, led by its chairman, Tsukti
Longkumer, visited and interacted with the exhibitors to get an overview of the latest products and trends in the industry as well as to establish business contacts. In a press release issued, Limalenden Longkumer, secretary, MEC stated that the exhibition featured more than 400 national and internation-
al exhibitors showcasing new-to-market products, solutions and technologies from India and overseas. Some interesting highlights of PackPlus 2019 included live running machines, product launching and visitor-exhibitor matchmaking, stated Longkumer. During the visit, Mokokchung Entrepre-
neurs Consortium also closed a deal with a leading paper bag making machine manufacturer in India which is expected to be installed and made operational before year-end in Mokokchung, it stated. MEC also closed another deal with a major player in the industry to procure paper cups and paper plates making machineries. Therefore, MEC has decided to procure the machines with the objective to support the people of Mokokchung in their campaign against plastic pollution and to offer an alternative to single-use plastic disposables in the market, he informed. With the installation and commissioning of the fully automatic paper and paper-allied product machineries, MEC expects to supply paper bags, cups and plates to Mokokchung and neighbouring districts of Tuensang, Zunheboto, Longleng and Wokha which will help mitigate the menace of single-use plastic pollution as well as open employment opportunities in the region, stated Longkumer.

RBI’s fund transfer inadequate: Goyal
Mumbai, Aug 31 (PTI): Commerce minister Piyush Goyal said the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) decision to transfer only Rs 52,637 crore from its excess reserves is “grossly inadequate” given the central bank’s huge buffers, and more should have had been done to boost growth. He also took a jibe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s criticism on the transfer being akin to “stealing”, saying there is no point debating with “uninformed and uneducated” people. “Personally, this is grossly inadequate, the RBI is sitting on a large amount of unproductive capital which it is not using, it is lying in the reserves of foreign banks and giving us barely any returns,” Goyal told the India Economic Conclave in Bengaluru this evening. He said the Bimal Jalan committee has been “too conservative” in assessing the reserve requirements, calling out the recommendation of not accepting the Rs 8 trillion of unrealised gains as wrong. “The argument that this is unrealised reserves does not hold water,” Goyal said, adding he has read a lot of reports by reputed
Piyush Goyal (File)
people which say India has reserves far higher reserves than many other countries. He added in the scenario of appreciating rupee — the potential reason why we need the high reserves — the RBI will anyways intervene to stop the movement up and pile up more reserves in the process. “Does the RBI ever foresee a position where they will intervene and the rupee will ever become Rs 50 to a dollar? Should the rupee be appreciating? Beyond a point, it will make our goods uncompetitive in the world market,” he said. To the criticism that Rs 1.76 trillion transfer being a loot, Goyal explained that Rs 1.23 trillion is part of the regular surplus transfer. “You need to under-
stand what these reserves are. Rahul Gandhi can say what he likes, but beyond that what is the scope of debating with uninformed and uneducated persons who can’t understand elementary economics,” he said. Goyal also hit out at the UPA government for signing lopsided free trade agreements with countries like the Asean grouping, which overlook national interests. “I am aghast at how the (UPA) government used to take foreign trade and foreign policy. For the last two years, we have been trying to set it right,” he said. Goyal said we are not in a recession, but conceded that the growth has slowed down. He said the government is conscious of the same and acting to help the economy. To a q u e s t i o n o n whether we should expect more stimulus measures, he said we may differ on the adjectives, but more measures are on the way. Goyal countered a question on high unemployment saying it is far from reality, and pointed out that it is still difficult to get a driver or a carpenter.
Voda Idea denies reports of exiting 6 telecom circles New Delhi, Aug 31 (PTI): Telecom operator Vodafone Idea on Saturday categorically denied and dismissed the speculation that the company may exit six telecom circles where it has seen a dip in its revenue. A recent Bank of America Merril Lynch (BofAML) report said it believed Vodafone Idea Ltd (VIL) would exit the six circles in C-Circle where it has been continuously losing revenue market share with share below 20 per cent. The report has identified Himachal Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, Jammu and Kashmir, North East and Assam from where VIL may exit. “There has been reportage in some media that Vodafone Idea may exit six circles Himachal Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, Jammu and Kashmir, North East and Assam. We categorically deny and dismiss this speculation as completely baseless and factually incorrect. Vodafone Idea remains committed and will continue to serve its millions of customers in these circles,” Vodafone Idea said in a statement.

bankers as it looks to revive economic growth. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman Friday said 10 public sector banks -- Punjab National Bank, Canara bank, Union Bank of India, Indian Bank, United Bank of India, Allahabad Bank, Syndicate Bank, Corporation Bank, Oriental Bank of Commerce and Andhra Bank would be merged. “Government may call it a merger.. six banks which have been built up over the years will disappear from banking scenario”, Venkatachalam said. He recalled that when the financial recession was experienced world over in 2008, the domestic banking system was safe because of public sector banks. On further course of action, he said the Union would meet in New Delhi on September 11 to decide on going on strike.

Thousands protest against UK Parliament suspension Imran warns of looming N-war Islamabad, Aug 31 (IANS): With the world powers, including the Muslim world, ignoring his persistent pleas to intercede on Kashmir, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has now through an opinion piece in The New York Times urged the international community to “think beyond trade and business advantages” and warned of a looming threat of nuclear war due to “appeasement” of India. In a piece titled “The World Can’t Ignore Kashmir. We Are All in Danger”, Khan says that “if the world does nothing to stop the Indian assault on Kashmir and its people, two nucleararmed states will get ever closer to a direct military confrontation”. The Pakistan PM, who launched a weekly ‘Kashmir Hour’ from Friday across his nation, where everyone, including school children, were required to come out on the streets at noon and stand in support of Kashmir, has left no stone unturned in is attempt to make the world back Islamabad’s stand that India’s moves on Kashmir were tantamount to “annexation”. But apart from close friend China,
Imran Khan (File)
Islamabad has failed to elicit any support. Pakistan has alleged large-scale human rights violations and violence in Jammu and Kashmir in the aftermath of India revoking the special status of the state. The Indian government and the Kashmir administration have stoutly denied Pakistan’s allegations. In his opinion piece, Imran Khan writes: “With the nuclear shadow hovering over South Asia, we realize that Pakistan and India have to move out of a zero-sum mind-set to begin dialogue on Kashmir, various strategic matters and trade. “On Kashmir, the dialogue must include all stakeholders, especially the Kashmiris. We have already
prepared multiple options that can be worked on while honoring the right to self-determination the Kashmiris were promised by the Security Council resolutions and India’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru.” On Thursday, the Indian government said that it is high time Pakistan started behaving like a “normal neighbour”, instead of pushing terrorists into India, and also “do normal talk and normal trade”. Pakistan has significantly raised the decibel on Kashmir as from August 31, Jammu and Kashmir will be officially divided into two Union Territories - AJ&K and Ladakh -- to be governed directly by the central government. India said the special status to Kashmir was preventing several people-centric benefits from percolating to the grassroots, and was a way of keeping the separatist fire burning, which was being continually fanned from across the border by Pakistan. Seeing its vestiges of hold over Jammu and Kashmir vanish, Pakistan’s utterances on Kashmir have turned shrill over the past few days. “Through dialogue
and negotiations, the stakeholders can arrive at a viable solution to end the decades of suffering of the Kashmiri people and move toward a stable and just peace in the region. But dialogue can start only when India reverses its illegal annexation of Kashmir, ends the curfew and lockdown, and withdraws its troops to the barracks,” Imran has written. “It is imperative that the international community think beyond trade and business advantages. World War II happened because of appeasement at Munich. A similar threat looms over the world again, but this time under the nuclear shadow,” the Pak PM writes. “If the world does nothing to stop the Indian assault on Kashmir and its people, there will be consequences for the whole world as two nuclear-armed states get ever closer to a direct military confrontation. India’s defense minister has issued a not-so-veiled nuclear threat to Pakistan by saying that the future of India’s “no first use” policy on nuclear weapons will “depend on circumstances”, he said.
US set to hit China with new tariffs Washington, Aug 31 (IANS): The US on Sunday is expected to hit billions of dollars worth of Chinese products with 15 per cent duties, in the first of two rounds of new tariffs, a move that will further escalate the ongoing trade war between the two economic giants. So far, Washington has imposed tariffs on some $250 billon of Chinese goods, while Beijing has retaliated with tariffs on $110 billion of US products, reports the BBC. The first round of tariffs due to be introduced on Sunday will target imports worth about $150 billion. The Office of the US Trade Representative has not however clarified the value of goods due to be hit with the first round of duties. Products to be targeted range from meat and cheese to pens and musical instruments. The 15 per cent rate supersedes the 10 per cent originally planned and was announced last week as tensions between the two sides escalated. The second round of tariffs slated to be imposed from December 15, includes clothing and footwear. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly argued that China pays for tariffs, but many US companies have rebutted that claim. More than 200 footwear firms - including Nike and Converse - said the new duties would add to existing tariffs of up to 67 per cent on some shoes, driving up costs for consumers by $4 billion each year, the BBC reported.
In London, Whitehall was brought to a standstill, with protesters chanting, ‘ Boris Johnson, shame on you’.
Lo n d o n, Au g 3 1 (IANS): Thousands of protesters took to streets in the UK on Saturday against Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s decision to suspend Parliament in the run-up to Brexit. Protests were ongoing in cities including Manchester, Leeds, York and Belfast. Protests were expected to take place in more than 30 towns and cities, including Edinburgh, Belfast, Cambridge, Exeter, Nottingham, Manchester, Glasgow and Birmingham. In London, Whitehall was brought to a standstill, with protesters chanting “Boris Johnson, shame on you”, the BBC reported. The decision to prorogue Parliament prompted an angry backlash from MPs and opponents of a no-deal
Brexit. Critics say that the motive behind the Prime Minister’s decision was to give lawmakers in the House of Commons less time to stop a no-deal Brexit. However, Johnson has dismissed the claim, saying that it was to allow the government to hold a Queen’s Speech and outline its “very exciting agenda” for the future. When Parliament is suspended, no debates and votes are held. This is different to “dissolving” Parliament - where all MPs give up their seats to campaign in a general election. If this prorogation happens as expected, it will see Parliament closed for 23 working days. Chancellor Sajid Javid, speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, de-

fended Johnson’s move. “It’s quite usual this time of year for Parliament to go in to a recess. It’s perfectly correct and appropriate to prorogue Parliament. “I think it’s absolutely right that this prime minister and his government get the chance to set up their agenda,” he said. Speaking before the London protest, journalist and activist Owen Jones, said: “This is about defending democracy. We have an unelected Prime Minister shutting down the elected representatives of the British public who are supposed to be scrutinizing the biggest
upheaval since the end of the war. “I think people who voted Remain or Leave should take to the streets today - no one voted for a no-deal Brexit. “There will be Remainers (at the protests) but I’ve had Leavers get in touch with me and tell me they will be marching, too.” In Oxford, crowds holding banners gathered outside Balliol College, where Johnson studied at university. Named “Stop the Coup”, the protests were organised by anti-Brexit campaign group -- Another Europe is Possible.

Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ ‘Old Town Road’ has been nominated for Musical Event of the Year at this year’s CMAs — and as credited writers, that means Reznor and close collaborator, Atticus Ross get the nod, too.

routine outing in the wilderness nearly spelled doom for Bear Grylls. The survivalist had to be saved by medics after a bee sting triggered an intense allergic reaction. Grylls, who is allergic to bee stings, was stung and quickly went into anaphylactic shock while filming his new series “Treasure Island,” but not before attempting to carry on with the taping. When medics realized Grylls, 45, was experiencing an adverse reaction to the sting, they immediately ran over to the “Man vs. Wild” star and injected him with an EpiPen. Bear Grylls knocked out by bee sting during life threatening allergic reaction in a remote part of the Pacific during filming for latest survival TV series. Speaking to the Daily Star, show contestant and brain surgeon Mano Shanmuganathan called the incident “bizarre” and said he was shocked to see Grylls in the state he was in. “The irony of Bear the survivalist being stung, having the potential of an allergic reaction, and needing to be treated with an EpiPen, was a bizarre moment,” said Shanmuganathan. “That was crazy!” Grylls, a former SAS ser viceman previously

over his potential transfer drag on. Another player who has become the centre of speculation, goalkeeper Alphonse Areola, dropped to the bench. Areola, a France international, is reportedly set to go to Real Madrid in a swap for veteran Costa Rican Keylor Navas. PSG also started without the injured pair of Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani. “It wasn’t easy because this week there were a lot of possibilities to be distracted,” said PSG manager Thomas Tuchel. Marcin Bulka started
Lukaku responds to criticism over his weight
L o n do n, Au g 3 1 (IANS): Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku, who joined the Italian club this season from Manchester United for 65 million euro, has responded to criticism over his weight towards the end of his stint with the British giants. Lukaku had scored 42 goals for United. However, after he netted 15 goals last season, former United defender Gary Neville had criticised his physical condition, saying that the Belgian striker weighed over 100 kg. “He (Neville) can talk about my fitness but he should never say anything about my professionalism, that I don’t work hard enough,” Lukaku was quoted as saying by the BBC. “That is something he
cannot say. All the coaches I have had say the same thing about me. What did Ole Gunnar Solskjaer say when I was on the training ground? What did he say? That I always work hard and always do my best to try and improve myself. Same with Jose Mourinho and (Belgium and former Everton manager) Roberto Martinez. Now (Inter coach) Antonio Conte will say it,” Lukaku said. “Last year was just a bad year. It happens in football. You just have to move on. I am not going to sit here and react in a negative way,” he added. Lukaku was expected to bring glory for United after he joined the club from Everton, but he left the Red Devils having failed to win a trophy.
instead of Areola, making his senior professional debut. The 19-year-old Pole arrived in the summer after spending three seasons in the Chelsea youth system. PSG also gave a debut to midfielder Adil Aouchiche. At 17 years and six weeks, he was their youngest ever Ligue 1 starter. “It was not a brilliant performance but it was serious,” said Tuchel, who picked up a second-half yellow card. “It was obvious that we lack quality offensively to create more chances.” Di Maria smashed home an 11th-minute pen-
alty to give PSG the lead. After 20 minutes, the game was interrupted. Home fans unfurled a fourpart, 25-word home-made, hand-written banner. It complained that they wanted the French league (LFP) to allow them to aim homophobic chants at PSG. “LFP, PSG, let me sing to you, to make you go to...,” read the first two lines. The last two continued, “I won’t be on TV, because my words are not very cheerful.” Referee Frank Schneider halted play, but as the teams headed for the sideline, the banner vanished. The game restarted after three minutes with a drop ball. On Wednesday, referee Clement Turpin took the players off for more than 10 minutes in response to homophobic chants in Nice during a home loss to Marseille. After play resumed, Idrissa Gueye hit the Metz bar with a close-range header. The home team’s marking had not improved when Choupo-Moting barely had to jump to head the second goal in the 43rd minute. Metz gave PSG uncomfortable moments in both halves, but could not force Bulka to make a difficult save.
Paris, Aug 31 (Agencies): Paris St Germain are not close to reaching a deal with Barcelona that would take Neymar back to the Spanish champions as the Catalans have not met the French club’s asking price for the Brazil forward, PSG’s sporting director Leonardo said on Friday. Barca’s attempt to resign Neymar two years after K Y M C
he joined PSG for a world record 222 million euros ($247.40 million) has dominated sports headlines for months, but time is running out to strike a deal before the transfer window shuts on Sept. 2.

L O N D O N, Au g 3 1 (Agencies): Spanish left back Nacho Monreal has left Arsenal after six years at the London club to join La Liga side Real Sociedad on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee, both sides said on Saturday. Monreal, 33, joined Arsenal from Malaga in January 2013 and went on to make 251 appearances for the club, scoring 10 goals. “During his time with us, Nacho played in his natural left-back position and also in central defence. He won three FA Cups, three Community Shields and played a big part in our run to the Europa League final last season,” said a statement from Arsenal. “We would like to thank Nacho for his contribution to the club and everyone at Arsenal wishes him the best for his future.” Monreal, who began his career with Osasuna, will be presented as a Real Sociedad player on Monday. His new side have taken four points in three games this season and were beaten 2-0 by local rivals Athletic Bilbao on Friday.
Run-out mix-up haunts me: Leach L o n do n, Au g 3 1 (Agencies): Jack Leach says his near run-out mixup with Ben Stokes during England’s thrilling third Ashes Test win at Headingley will haunt him forever. Last-man Leach joined Stokes at the crease with 73 runs still needed for victory, but a stunning hundred from Stokes took England to within two runs of a series-saving victory. Looking for a single from the fifth ball of Nathan Lyon’s over in the hope of ensuring Stokes would have the strike to finish things off in the next, Leach found himself stranded halfway down the pitch, only for Lyon to fumble the throw in and blow Australia’s opportunity to retain the Ashes with two Tests to spare. “Oh god, that will haunt me forever, even though we won,” Leach told Sky Sports Cricket. “I thought, with one ball after that one, we would be really looking to squeeze in a single on that ball, but Stokes was looking to finish the game that over. I would say it was miscommunication, although Stokesy afterwards was like: ‘what were you doing?!’” Despite that almost costly mix-up, Leach said that he felt calm at the crease and like a fan watching the game as Stokes blasted the Australia attack

to all parts in knocking off the runs. “It was good fun, for some of it, nerve-wracking at other parts, and then just relief at the end to get over the line,” said Leach. “Stokesy played one hell of a knock, and I felt like a bit of a fan out there when he was hitting those sixes and then obviously I had to switch back on when I was facing up. It was amazing to be part of. The game really gripped the nation, like the World Cup final, and hopefully it does a lot for cricket.” Leach said, “It did feel quite calm out there. Stokes
just said ‘try and stay with me’, he was going to face four or five balls an over and I was going to face one or two. It was quite simple in terms of what he wanted to do. I was probably pretending [to be calm] for some of it, going down to Stokesy and saying ‘just focus on the next ball’, when he’d just hit a six and I was buzzing!” “Most of his sixes I thought were out when he first hit them, but then they would just fly over the fielders. The crowd, wow, they were amazing. To be part of that atmosphere was incredible,” he added.
La Liga: Athletic down Sociedad 2-0 in Basque derby M ad r i d, Au g 3 1 (Agencies): Athletic Bilbao continued their strong start to the season by beating Basque rivals Real Sociedad 2-0 in La Liga on Friday with a dominant performance. Inaki Williams gave Athletic the lead in the 11th minute by sending a first-time shot crashing into the net to complete a quick move sparked by a throw in. Raul Garcia extended their advantage in the 28th with a strike from outside the area which looped into the net. Sociedad had a penalty awarded in between the two goals but it was overturned after a VAR review deemed that the foul had taken place outside the area, and things got worse when they lost influential midfielder Asier Illarra-
mendi to injury. Swedish teenager Alexander Isak did manage to put the ball in the net for the visitors after the interval but the effort was ruled offside after another VAR review. Athletic continued to overpower their rivals as the minutes ticked by and they comfortably recorded another significant home win after beating Barcelona 1-0 on the opening day of the season, moving on to seven points after three games. Sociedad have four points.

sell the player at the right price, which Barca have yet to come up with. “The first time we received a proposal from Barcelona for Neymar was on August 27. They have not yet given us an offer which has met our demands,” Leonardo said. “PSG’s position on Neymar has always been clear: if a satisfactory offer arrives then he could leave but that is not the case. The negotiations have not broken down but there’s no agreement for now because our demands have not been met.” Leonardo did not hide the fact that Neymar is keen to move from PSG, but said the Brazilian’s position was not helped by his staggering price tag. “Neymar has always made it clear that he wants to leave but no-one has enough money to buy him. And if an offer doesn’t arrive which we think is worth it, he will stay,” he added. “He’s an extraordinary player but his relationship with the club isn’t the best right now.” Barca coach Ernesto Valverde said earlier on Friday that he had grown tired of the negotiations over Neymar and would be glad when the transfer window closed.
Manuel Lanzini
L o n do n , A u g 3 1 (Agencies): West Ham United playmaker Manuel Lanzini has extended his contract until 2023 with an option to extend it by a further two years. Lanzini, who signed for West Ham in 2015, has made over 100 appearances for the London club in all competitions, scoring 21 goals and providing 19 assists. The 26-year-old Argentina international suffered a knee ligament injury that sidelined him for eight months and ruled him out of the World Cup last year but he has since bounced back to reclaim his place in West Ham’s starting lineup. “I think it’s the best decision for me,” Lanzini said in a statement on the club’s website. “I’ve been here for a long time and I’ve said in an interview before that I like West Ham.” “I like the fans, I like the staff and when I came here all the people were comfortable with me. I like to stay here... For me, it was not difficult. It was easy, because I love it here.”
Pizjuan. Julen Lopetegui’s men have been dominant on their turf against La Celeste, winning the last three league matches. It looked like they were going to make if four on the bounce for the first time since 1986 when Franco Vazquez scored nine minutes to the end of regulation time. Fran Escriba’s side however equalised in the 84th minute via Denis Suarez. Sevilla looked more determined to score the winning goal, but Aidoo and the Celta backline held their nerve to take a point back home. The 23-year old Ghanaian – who is a recent acquisition from Belgian champions Genk - made nine clearances and one interception in this match.

India thrash Nepal to lift U-15 SAFF trophy India score 336/7 at lunch on Day 2
The Indian U-15 team with their trophies after defeating Nepal in the U-15 SAFF Championship on Saturday.
K a lya n i , Au g 3 1 (IANS): A convincing India U-15 team thrashed Nepal 7-0 to lift the SAFF U-15 title at the Kalyani Stadium here on Saturday. Striker Sridarth Nongmeikapam scored a hattrick while Maheson Singh, Amandeep, Sibajit Singh and Himanshu Jangra scored one goal apiece. In the process, the Bibiano Fernandes-coached side scored 28 goals without having conceded any in the five matches they played in the tournament, including the final. The victory also meant
that India are now the most successful team in the tournament’s history -- winning the title for a record third time after previous wins in 2013 and 2017, both of which came in Nepal. “I would like to thank each one of my support staff, the AIFF management and SAI for their support,” Bibiano said at the post-match press conference. “We are happy to be champions. We came here with an aim, and we have achieved it. This was a preparation for the AFC qualifiers and it makes us
confident about what we can achieve,” he added. Captain Anish Majumdar dedicated the victory to “team effort.” “This wouldn’t have been possible without us sticking together as a team. I need to thank the coach and all our staff for their guidance, and for believing in us,” Mazumdar said. India took the lead through Maheson in the 15th minute when the midfielder ran into open space on the right flank and made the most of it with an excellent shot that sailed over the head of Nepal goalkeeper

The project will come up at Safdarjung hospital. Dr Harsh Vardhan stated that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, there is a renewed focus on sports. “We are aggressively
Dr Harsh Vardhan
moving towards setting up state-of-the-art health facilities with the best equipment, techniques and buildings. These facilities are comparable to the very best in the world.” The Spor ts Injur y Centre in Delhi will provide diagnostic, rehabilitative, surgical and in-patient facilities to those suffering from sports and related injuries under one roof. Meanwhile, Minister of State for Health Ashwini Kumar Choubey, who was present at the event,
laid stress on ‘sarve-santuniraamaya’, (health for all) and asked the authorities to make all efforts towards it. The Sports Injury Expansion project will have increased bed strength of 156 (including HDU and ICU beds) compared to the existing 42 beds. The expansion will also help in increasing the post graduate seats to create trained manpower that can spread across India and treat sportsmen at the field level. The expansion will develop state-of-the-art labs to train doctors of India for surgical and non-surgical management of sports injuries. The expansion will also reduce the waiting period of surgery for sportsmen (current waiting 3 months) so that they can return to sports activities at the earliest.
Manoj Dahal and nestled into the bottom corner of the net. India scored two quick goals towards the end of the first half to head into the break with a three-goal advantage. Taison Singh, who was a livewire down the right flank, was fouled near the penalty area. He curled in the resulting freekick which was turned into the goal with a deft header by Amandeep in the 42nd minute. Taison provided yet another assist to help India extend their lead. Beating his marker, he squared the
ball to an onrushing Sibajit Singh, who scored with a first-time shot. After the breather, the Indian side was quick to add to its lead, with Sridarth adding his name to the scoresheet with a poacher’s goal in the 51st minute. Taison fired in a powerful shot from distance that was not collected by the Nepal keeper and Sridarth was on hand to follow up and tap the ball home. Himanshu Jangra, who scored a hat-trick in each of India’s two previous matches against Bhutan and Bangladesh, came off the bench at half-time and scored his team’s fifth goal -- thus recording his seventh goal of the championship to bag the topscorer award. India added to their tally with 15 minutes left on the clock with Sridarth netting his second goal. In the 80th minute, Sridarth completed his hat-trick after he latched on to a low cross from Himanshu and placed it past the goalkeeper. Next up for India is the 2020 AFC U-16 Championships qualifiers, scheduled to take place from September 18. India have been drawn in Group B with hosts Uzbekistan, Bahrain and Turkmenistan.
Kingston, Aug 31 (PTI): A patient HanumaVihari struck the third half-century of his career to guide India to 336 for seven against the West Indies at lunch on the second day of the second cricket Test here on Saturday. Coming on to bat at the overnight score of 42, Vihari stuck to his task and held one end together to go into the break unbeaten on 84 off 158 balls, 16 runs shy of his maiden century. Resuming at the overnight score of 264 for five, India lost Rishabh Pant (27) on the opening delivery of the day. Pant was cleaned up by West Indies skipper Jason Holder (4/62) with an inswinger as the batsman leaned for a drive. Thereafter, overnight batsman Vihari and new man in RavindraJadeja played according to the situation to nullify any threat from the West Indies bowlers. Vihari, who resumed his knock at 42, notched up his fifty in 96 balls with the help of an inside-edge boundary off Holder in the 97th over of the innings. Jadeja did the all the hardwork but gave away his wicket when it mattered. He played a patient knock of 16 off 69 balls but just when it was time

Swiss great Roger Federer and world No.1 Novak Djokovic won their respective third-round matches to enter the Round of 16. After conceding the opening set in both his first and second round victories, Federer came out with a power packed performance and defeated Daniel Evans of Britain 6-2, 6-2, 6-1 in just just one hour and 20 minutes on Friday evening. The No. 3 seeded Swiss was the stronger player from the baseline and hit 48 winners including 10 aces. Moreover, Federer won 80 per cent of first serve points and 70 per cent on his second serve. The five-time champion is into the Round of 16 for the 18th consecutive year. He will be facing David Goffin of Belgium for a place in the quarterfinals. In other men’s singles clash, Djokovic dominated his clash against American Denis Kudla, winning in routine straight sets 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 in a game that lasted a little more than two hours. The defending champion was hardly rattled throughout his victory, hitting six aces on a 62 per cent first-serve rate, winning 81 per cent of those points. He also rushed the net 20 times, converting on 15 of those chances. He will face No. 23 Stan Wawrinka, the 2016 US Open champion, in the fourth round. The last time the pair faced each other was in the 2016 US Open final.
FIH planning India, Pak Olympic qualification ties in Europe K a r ac h i , Au g 3 1 (PTI): The International Hockey Federation (FIH) is mulling to have India and Pakistan play their home and away matches in Europe if the arch-rivals face off in the Olympic qualifying tournament for a berth at the 2020 Tokyo Games. India and Pakistan have been seeded in two separate halves of the draw by FIH on Thursday and they could meet in the Olympics qualifying tournament. According to a source in the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF), the FIH will soon be announcing draws for the Tokyo Olympics 2020 qualifiers. “In the qualifiers in September-October, the top tier teams will have to play against the lower tier teams and Pakistan and India which has already won one qualifying tournament could be drawn up against each other,” he said. Pakistan, Eg ypt, South Korea, Spain, Germany, New Zealand, India, and some other teams are expected to feature in the qualifying tournament for the summer Olympics with
seven berths at stake. The PHF source said they had managed to convince the FIH to give them entry in the qualifying tournament after paying the first installment of the fine imposed on the PHF for not sending its team for the Pro Hockey League earlier this year. “It is not necessary we might draw up I n d i a but if that happens then the FIH will probably schedule the matches in Europe as conditions are not conducive to play the matches in India or Pakistan,” he said. Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated in the aftermath of Indian government’s scrapping of Article 370 which had accorded special status to Jammu and Kashmir. The source further said that preparations are on for Pakistan to compete in the Olympic qualifying events as appearing in the Summer Olympics would be a big boost for the game in the country. Pakistan, currently ranked 17th in the world, had missed out on the last Olympic games in Brazil.
