Guwahati/ JORHAT Sep 2 (PTI): Doctors in Assam have called for a 24-hour ‘withdrawal of medical services excluding emergency’ across the state on September 3 in protest against the killing of an elderly doctor by associates of a patient who died at a tea garden hospital in Jorhat.

D o c t o r s i n Jo r h a t Medical College Hospital (JMCH), Civil Hospital, family referral units, primary health centres abstained from work.

The medicos also stayed away from duties in private hospitals and did not attend consultation chambers, the officials said.

fice demanding justice for 73-year-old Dr Deben Dutta who was assaulted by a mob on Saturday following the death of a patient in a tea estate hospital.

KOHIMA, SEP 2 (NPN): Eastern Sumi Hoho (ESH) has strongly objected to the exclusion of the Sumi tribe in the ENPO demand for ‘Frontier Nagaland’.

A 23-member delegation from ESH met the governor of Nagaland and submitted memorandum seeking redressal.

Addressing press conference at Hotel Japfu, here Monday, ESH advisor S. Zhevihe Sumi stated that ENPO has been projecting the proposed ‘Frontier Nagaland’ belonging only to six tribes of Sangtam, Yimchunger, Chang, Phom, Khiamiungan and Konyak by “mischievously” excluding Sumi tribe, which was one of the major tribes in Kiphiri district with Sangtam and Yimchunger.

Highlighting the background, ESH advisor said there were 22 villages and towns out of which 21 were under the jurisdiction of Kiphiri and one under Tuensang district. He said as early as 1878, Sumi tribe established Phisami village followed by 10 more villages

solely by Sumi natives.

The advisor also informed that it was surprising that the Department of Under Development Area (DUD) was meant for eastern areas yet Sumis were not given the opportunity while also in employment sector like teacher recruitment (in 1998) Sumis were denied and likewise in police department, none was allotted to the Sumis of Eastern Nagaland.

He also regretted that many economic packages were granted to eastern Nagaland, but Sumis were not reflected in the package.

ESH advisor Hokheto Yepthomi added that had there been no involvement of Sumi leaders, Kiphire district would not be cre-

ated. Despite that, he said ENPO did not take Sumi into confidence.

To queries on the delay of raising the issue, the advisor informed that many attempts had been made for a meeting and the last one on August 30. However, he said since they received the letter only on August 29, ESH declined to attend the meeting.

He also informed that ESH wrote a letter seeking clarification the position of the Sumis within 45 days, but ENPO did not respond.

Yepthomi also replied that affiliation to ENPO did not arise since the existence of Sumi was there since time immemorial.

NSF demands strict enforcement of ILP CTC Solid Waste Management Plan launched D I M APU R , S EP 2 (NPN): Reacting to the exclusion of nearly two million people from the final list of National Registry of Citizens in Assam, Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has slammed the state government for poor enforcement of the ILP regime as an exodus of illegal immigrants from neighbouring states was expected to Nagaland that would pose the biggest demographic threat on the indigenous inhabitants of the state.

Stating this, NSF president Ninoto Awomi and general secretary Liremo R Kikon also expressed dismay at the state government “for its inaction in the district of Dimapur and for allowing it to flourish as the floodgate of illegal immigrants in the state.”

NSF said lack of stringent implementation of the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation (BEFR) 1873

and the exclusion of Dimapur district from the purview of ILP have made the district a safe haven for illegal immigrants.

Naga Students’ Federation maintained that there was imminent threat to the Naga indigenous inhabitants being out-numbered by the populace of illegal immigrants through Dimapur district.

It therefore, urged the state government to exercise a strong political will and immediately act upon the implementation of the Inner Line Permit (ILP) regime in Dimapur district that was passed on the February 21, 2019 in the Assembly Budget Session and as recommended by ILP committee.

NSF demanded strict enforcement of ILP throughout all the check gates and impose strong punitive measures on ILP defaulters by the state police.

It also urged all its federating units and all right thinking Nagas to remain vigilant to the influx of non-locals and illegal immigrants which was expected to sharply increase in the coming days.

Naga Students’ Federation informed that it has been extensively conducting verification of Inner Line Permit (ILP) holders in various districts in the past many years along with its federating units.

However, it said that lapses and the lack of sincerity within the state government in the implementation of ILP in its entirety has done “irreparable damage on the cultural, economic and demographic aspects negating the very purpose of Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation Act of 1873, enacted to protect and safeguard the Naga ethnicity as an entity of the land and resources from the outsiders.

He made this statement while inaugurating the rostrum at Naharbari Sports Complex, Naharbari village here on Monday. He said Nagas in reality were Christians only on Sundays as the present lifestyle of Nagas did not resemble how a Christian should be

but rather it was opposite.

He admitted that Nagas have fallen in love with money so much that there were insecurities and jealousy amongst each other, where “one cannot see someone rise up and one cannot help someone who is in need”.

The lone Lok Sabha MP from the state also pointed out that elections in Nagaland were the dirtiest of all, where Nagas speak of clean election but in reality, it was not put into practice. He further said that Nagas love and greed for money has caused self destruction upon itself.

He said in other states, even if there was a power cut for five minutes, or no water supply or bad roads, people raise up their voice in unity and protest against the government. However, in the case of the Nagas, people were not able to do so because their mouths have been filled from before, Tokheho said. He further said that politicians were not the only ones that were to be blamed for anything and everything but everyone was responsible.

He later encouraged the gathering to change their way of life so as to pursue a better future. He also opined that disunity and disharmony amongst the Nagas was the reason the solution could not be achieved.

Earlier, short speech was delivered by chairman, NVC, Tokheli Kikon.

The programme was chaired by council secretary, NVC, Lanuyanger Ao and invocation by pastor, Chang Baptist Church, S Takum.

Benediction was offered by pastor, NCRC, Sumi, Nahabari Village, Rev. Dr. Shiwoto Assumi and welcome speech by VDB secretary, NVC, Hutoka Assumi.

The strike supporters also shouted various slogans against the government besides burning the effigies of chief minister N Biren Singh and principal of the Standard Roberth Higher Secondary, Ph Landhoni, who is currently in jail.

In a bid to thwart the general strike, a large number of police and security personnel including women personnel were detailed at strategic areas. However, strike supporters imposed

the blockade on the main roads in their respective localities. Despite repeated dispersion, the protestors resumed blocking the roads soon after the police left the area.

The general strike commenced Monday morning at 6am and will end at 6am of September 4.

No untoward incident related with the strike was reported on the first day of the strike, according to a police source.

Even though, only few strike supporters were seen imposing the general strike in the capital city, a good number of supporters, particularly womenfolk imposed the strike at various places in the outskirt of the city as well as in other valley districts.

Shah to meet, Govs, CMs of NE states

New Delhi, Sep 2 (PTI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah will visit Assam next week to attend a meeting of the North Eastern Council and is likely to review the situation in the state in the wake of publication of the final NRC, sources said on Monday.

During the September 8-9 visit, Shah will chair a meeting of the NEC, to be attended by chief ministers and governors of eight Northeastern states.

“Shah is also likely to have separate meetings with Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and top functionaries of the Assam government and the state BJP leadership,” a source said.

The final National Register of Citizens (NRC) was published on Saturday. According to the NRC, out of the total 3.3 crore applicants, 3.11 crore figured in the list and names of about 19 lakh people were excluded. After the list was published, Assam Finance Minister Himant Biswa Sarma and state BJP chief Ranjit Kumar Dass said they were unhappy with the NRC as names of many genuine Indian citizens were not included.

This will be Shah’s first visit to Assam after becoming the home minister three months ago.

During his meeting with the chief ministers and governors at the NEC plenary, Shah will review

Amit Shah (File) and discuss with them the security situation and development issues, a home ministry official said.

He will review the progress of various development issues at the NEC meeting. Shah is expected to have a separate meeting to take stock of the security situation in the northeastern region, the official said.

The NEC is the apex advisory body for securing balanced and coordinated development, and for facilitating effective coordination among the member states.

The body was restructured in July 2018 with the nomination of the home minister as the NEC chair-

man and the minister for development of north eastern region (DoNER) as the vicechairman. The NEC was established by North Eastern Council Act, 1971, initially as an apex-level advisory body for securing balanced and coordinated development and facilitating effective co-ordination amongst seven states of northeastern region - Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura.

Subsequent to the amendment of NEC Act in December 2002, Sikkim was added as the eighth member state, and the NEC was mandated to function as a statutory regional planning body for the region.

Since its inception, the NEC has focused on improving connectivity of the region which has been a major bottleneck for all developmental activities.

In its endeavour, the council has contributed immensely towards the improvement of inter-state connectivity in the region.

Dear Echungbeni Wishing you full of happiness, love and joyous life...God bless you abundantly Happy belated birthday!!!

Chandel is among one of the 117 districts of the country selected under the programme.

State chief secretary Dr J Suresh Babu, administrative secretaries concerned, Chandel DC Krishna Kumar and other high ranking government officials briefed them about the programme.

Talking to media after the review meeting, Rijiju said

that the government was committed to transform and uplift Chandel district at par with other progressive districts of the country.

He maintained that Chandel district had been selected as Aspirational District of Manipur as it was behind in some development parameters.

The Union minister further elaborated that he had reviewed the challenges and performance in key sectors like education, health and other parameters of development of the district during the meeting.

Abhinandan flies MiG 21 jet with IAF Chief

PATHANKOT, SEP 2 (PTI): Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, the IAF pilot who became the face of a tense military confrontation between India and Pakistan in February, on Monday flew a sortie with Air Chief Marshal B S Dhanoa on a MiG 21 jet here.

Photo-journalists and a video crew were taken inside the Pathankot air base to record the 30-minute sortie, seen as an attempt by the IAF to publicly acknowledge Varthaman’s bravery in shooting down a Pakistani F-16 jet during the February 27 aerial combat.

Both Air Chief Marshal Dhanoa and Varthaman, without his signature handlebar moustache, posed for photographs while standing on the cockpit of the twin-seater trainer aircraft.

“It was an honour for me to fly with him,” the IAF chief, who is set to retire on September 30, said after the sortie which began at around 11.30 am.

The IAF, in a tweet, said it was the last sortie flown by air chief in a fighter aircraft before his retirement.

Varthaman, 36, was captured by the Pakistani

Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa and Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman after their sortie on the MiG 21 jet, at Airforce Station, Pathankot, Monday. (PTI)

Army after his MiG-21 Bison jet was shot down in the dogfight. Before his jet was hit, the IAF pilot downed an F-16 fighter of Pakistan.

A number of foreign media reports doubted the assertion about downing the F-16 jet of Pakistan Air Force. The IAF strongly rejected the reports.

Varthaman was released on the night of March 1 by Pakistan. He was taken off flying duties because of his injuries.

The IAF chief said he, too, ejected from a combat jet in 1988 and had to wait for nine months to return to the fighter cockpit.

“He (Varthaman) has got back his flying category in less than six months which is good,” said Dhanoa, adding it was his last sortie on a fighter jet before retirement.

“Both of us ejected and both of us fought the Pakistanis,” he added.

Varthaman returned to

the fighter cockpit around two weeks ago after IAF’s Bengaluru-based Institute of Aerospace Medicine gave him the go-ahead to fly again following a thorough medical evaluation.

As a young pilot, the Air Force chief flew the Mig 21 jet with Varthaman senior, Simhakutty Varthaman, who retired as air marshal.

Air Marshal Simhakutty joined the IAF in 1973 and has around 4,000 hours

of flying experience.

Abhinandan Varthaman was conferred the Vir Chakra, the coveted wartime gallantry medal, for downing the F-16 jet of Pakistan during the aerial combat.

The Vir Chakra is the third highest gallantry award after the Paramvir Chakra and the Mahavir Chakra.

Days after he returned from Pakistan, Varthaman conveyed to the IAF brass his wish to return to fighter cockpit at the earliest.

After he was captured, Varthaman came in for widespread praise from politicians, strategic affairs experts, celebrities and others for his courage and grace in handling the most difficult circumstances.

The IAF pilot underwent a nearly two-week debriefing by security agencies following his return from Pakistan.

IAF fighter jets bombed a Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist training camp in Balakot, deep inside Pakistan on February 26, nearly two weeks after the Pulwama strike.

Pakistan retaliated on February 27 by attempting to target Indian military installations.

Moon lander separation successful, says ISRO BENGALURU, SEP 2 ( AG E N C I E S ) : C h a n drayaan-2’s lander Vikram detached itself from atop the main spacecraft on Monday after noon as planned, as it got ready to descend to the moon’s southern surface over the next four days.

The lander carries small six-wheeled rover Pragyan within it; once they reach the lunar surface, the rover will get out of Vikram to physically probe moon.

The D-day for the two is September 7 around 1.55 a.m.

Soon after separation, the lander was in an orbit of 119 km x 127 km around moon. It will start sailing down towards its assigned lunar landing spots after two de-orbits on Tuesday and Wednesday.

No country has softlanded on the south polar region that the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has chosen to explore.

“The lander successfully separated from Chandrayaan-2 orbiter at 1315 Hrs IST today (Septem-

An Indian Space Research Organisation update said the main spacecraft continues to orbit moon from the same distance that it reached on Sunday. It will take images and do remote-sensing of moon with its payloads for a year.

The health of the orbiter and lander is being monitored from the Mission Operations Complex (MOX) at the Indian Space Research Organisation

Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) in Bengaluru with support from the two large antennas of the Indian Deep Space Network at Byalalu near Bengaluru.

The first de-orbit operation is scheduled between 8.45 a.m. and 9.45 a.m. on Tuesday and is designed to put the lander in a 109 km x 120 km orbit.

Indians are committed to saving the environment. Climate and calamity are directly related to culture; if the climate is not the focus of culture, calamity cannot be prevented.

When I say ‘Sabka Saath,’ I also include nature in it,” Modi had said.

After conferring the award to PM Modi, Guterres in a tweet said: “The world needs bold leadership on climate action. I thank India for setting an example and was pleased to present Prime Minister Narendra Modi with the Champions of the Earth Award.”

Growth slowdown

eacting to the sharp deceleration in manufacturing output and subdued farm sector activity pulled down India’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth to over six-year low of 5 per cent in the April-June quarter of 2019-20, former prime minister and noted economist Dr. Manmohan Singh has laid the blame on the policies of the Modi government. He pointed out that the recent rollbacks by the government after having made budget announcements had shaken the confidence of the international investors.

The former prime minister does not generally rush to react but prefers to wait and watch before making his point. Dr.Singh’s arguments are valid since the present economic health of the country has suffered a slowdown. India has not been able to increase its exports to take advantage of the opportunities offered by global trade due to geopolitical realignments. Dr Singh has also questioned the “credibility of India’s data” which the government has been depending to paint a rosy picture all along. The former prime minister also cautioned the BJP-led government at the Centre against pursuing “vendetta politics” in the game of one upmanship and to reach out to all sections in order to steer the economy from its present “man-made crisis”. He also pointed out that the dip in growth in the manufacturing sector tottering at 0.6% was distressing and revealed that the economy was yet to recover due to the “man-made blunders of demonetisation and a hastily implemented GST”. These are not only genuine concerns but also project the reality as laid out by the economic data as revealed by plummeting job losses of more than 3.5 lakh in the otherwise vibrant automobile sector alone. There is no doubt that the policy decisions such as the ‘demonetisation surgical strike’ in November 2016 had shaken the foundations of the economy over several sectors especially the rural sector. The decision turned 86% of the currency invalid and brought small business enterprises to a standstill. Leaving aside the farmers, most small scale businesses here are managed by just one person. The switch to paperless economy cannot be achieved in a matter of days while more than 60% of the transactions of most developed countries are through cash. The GST was hastily implemented and today the country is repenting at leisure. The finance minister has understood the impact of the high rates but cannot bring changes. All these have led to shortfall in tax revenues. Dr. Singh also noted that domestic demand is depressed and consumption growth is at an 18-month low and nominal GDP growth is at a 15 year low. He also shared concern against “tax terrorism” on targeted businessmen which is not bereft of facts. The selective targeting does no service to the rule of law and only creates an environment of fear and which is bad for business entrepreneurship. The promise to make India one and strong also means taking all on board since the country has so many internationally renowned professionals and experts whose contribution is much needed. Perhaps it is time for the government to veer away from too much politicisation and appreciate the slogan of one for all and all for one.

DailyDevotion A Life of Pure and Holy Sacrifice

He who believes in Me…out of his heart will flow… —John 7:38 Jesus did not say, “He who believes in Me will realize all the blessings of the fullness of God,” but, in essence, “He who believes in Me will have everything he receives escape out of him.” Our Lord’s teaching was always anti-self-realization. His purpose is not the development of a person— His purpose is to make a person exactly like Himself, and the Son of God is characterized by self-expenditure. If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain but what He pours through us that really counts. God’s purpose is not simply to make us beautiful, plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may squeeze the sweetness out of us. Our spiritual life cannot be measured by success as the world measures it, but only by what God pours through us— and we cannot measure that at all.

When Mary of Bethany “broke the flask…of very costly oil…and poured it on [Jesus’] head,” it was an act for which no one else saw any special occasion; in fact, “…there were some who…said, ‘Why was this fragrant oil wasted?’ ” (Mark 14:3-4). But Jesus commended Mary for her extravagant act of devotion, and said, “…wherever this gospel is preached…what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her” (Mark 14:9). Our Lord is filled with overflowing joy whenever He sees any of us doing what Mary did— not being bound by a particular set of rules, but being totally surrendered to Him. God poured out the life of His Son “that the world through Him might be saved” (John 3:17). Are we prepared to pour out our lives for Him? “He who believes in Me…out of his heart will flow rivers of living water”— and hundreds of other lives will be continually refreshed. Now is the time for us to break “the flask” of our lives, to stop seeking our own satisfaction, and to pour out our lives before Him. Our Lord is asking who of us will do it for Him?

ack to one of my favourite subjects : crows. They are slowly disappearing so please save them now.

Give them shelled peanuts, rice, fruit. Don’t put it on the ground. They prefer trays, open feeders, tables. Don’t stare at them because they will not pick up the food. Just leave it and retreat, and slowly, as they begin to tr ust you, you can start hanging around at a distance of about 8 feet and then close in.

Sometimes they leave gifts if you feed them. So if you like shiny objects and strange sticks keep feeding them. A young crow feeder called Gabi Mann has shown what the crows brought her on You Tube The BitterSweet Life : earrings , paper clips, nuts and bolts and a small light bulb.

They play the funniest games. Not just tag, tug of war with sticks and hide and seek. For instance they will sit on a wire and suddenly one will flip upside down until he drops off and lands on the ground. Then he will go up and do the same thing. Just showing off !

Young crows push each other off ledges , they throw snow at each other, sneak up behind another and unbalance them.

They hang joyfully from branches , do elaborate aerial maneuvers.

Scientists have documented 7 kinds of play O b j e c t p l ay ( m a nipulating things for no

reason).

Play caching (hiding inedible objects).

Flight play (random aerial acrobatics).

Bath play (more activity in water than necessary to get clean).

Sliding down inclines (snowboarding, sledding, body sliding).

Hanging (hanging off branches but not to obtain food).

Vocal play (you know how kids go through that phase when they talk to themselves a lot? The crow version of that.)

Here are crow watchers writing in with their experiences : “I watched one play with a leaf for 10 minutes, he’d sit on a power line moving it between his feet, then let it drop to the ground, fly down, pick it up, and repeat.

I’ve also watched them thwack each other with pine boughs (pull back with beak or foot, wait until sibling isn’t looking and let go).”

“I obser ved some young crows at play in the restaurant parking lot beside our house. One day, there was a rolled up ball of paper or rags. And to my amazement these fun loving crows started to bat it back and forth across the parking lot to each other – as if playing football.”

“Ravens were discreetly approaching quokkas from behind to bite their tail, scare them and make them jump. It really looked like a game”

Nagaland Post, Dimapur TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2019

Recognising Themselves “I have seen them ‘steal’ bags of chips from inside a store, escape, open the bag and eat them like professionals!”

There are 40 species of crow all over the world.

Most stay in groups .

Others are solitary but will forage in groups.

When one crow dies, the group will surround the deceased. This funeral isn’t just to mourn the dead, but also to see what killed their member. They band together and chase predators in a behavior called mobbing. They live close to where they are born, and help raise and defend chicks.

Ravens send out calls to alert other individuals to sources of food. Researchers Boeckle, Szipl, and Bugnyar published in Frontiers in Zoology, have shown that ravens encode their age and sex in these calls, so that individuals can decide whether to join the feeding event. This decision is particularly important because aggression at feeding events can cause injury, so grouping with a bad crowd can come at a high price.

Crows have trust is-

sues with human beings, but once they trust you they adopt patterns of behaviour. For instance they will wait for a husband’s car to leave before they come to be fed by the wife ! A crow watcher from Ireland has observed that when he started, his wife would bring him food and he threw some of it to the crows. After a few days they would come just before his wife turned up, and squawk to let him know she was coming.

Like humans, crows plan for the future. They store tools for later use, cache food, and only hide those pieces of food that they know will be running low in the future.

In all these studies, the birds had to consider what to do, where to do it, and when to prepare for certain specific future events.

In a study published in the journal Science, researchers tested whether the birds could store and retrieve a tool to get at their food after a gap of 17 hours. The ravens were able to instantly select the tool from a number of unnecessary items.

In another experiment researchers taught ravens to select a token that they could exchange for food. The ravens showed that they were able to select it, store it and then retrieve and use it, many days later, in exchange for food.

This does not happen in nature, but the birds understood the concept immediately.

This proves that they don’t just use abilities that have evolved naturally, but can flexibly and intelligently apply new solutions. Crows not only plan for future events but consider the thinking of other crows. When a crow caches food, it looks around to see if it’s being observed. If it sees another animal is watching, the crow will pretend to hide its treasure, but will really stash it in its feathers. The crow then flies away to find a new secret spot. If a crow sees another crow hiding its prize, it knows about this little game and won’t be fooled. Instead, it will follow the first crow to discover its new hoard.

Ravens pretend to hide things simply to see who is following them, so that they know who is most likely to steal their cache once they’re actually hiding food.

Another case of c r ow m e m o r y c o m e s from Chatham, Ontario. Around half a million crows would stop in Chatham on their migration route. The mayor of

the town declared war on crows because of their droppings, and people started shooting them.

Since then the crows have bypassed Chatham, flying high enough to avoid being shot. This had not, however, stopped them from leaving droppings all over the municipality.

I f yo u t h i n k t wo crows watching you and cawing at each other are talking about you, you’re probably right. In Marzluff ’s study, even crows that were never captured attacked scientists who had captured other crows previously. How did the crows describe their attackers to other crows?

The intensity, rhythm, and duration of caws forms the basis of a possible language. Ravens have a language with 33 categories of recorded vocalizations.

They watch what we do and learn from us.

Crows have been seen to drop nuts in traffic lanes, so cars will crack them open. They watch traffic lights, only retrieving the nut when the crosswalk sign is lit. Crows have been known to memorize restaurant schedules and garbage days, to take advantage of prime scavenging times. Please start feeding them today.

They are one of the few animals to recognize themselves in the mirror.

Post-mortem

Children wiser than we Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Introduction: Children instinctively gravitate to love. They seem to have a sixth sense about a person’s nature. Perhaps because children are so helpless at this stage of development, this attraction is a builtin survival mechanism.

Or, maybe children have a greater sense of awareness that compensates for their vulnerability. Whatever the truth may be, because they are pure, innocent and forgiving, children are close to the kingdom of heaven.

Children closer to Heaven: Children evoke deeply rooted and sometimes unconscious feelings.

When in their presence, it is interesting to see how adults react to these little beings. Many cannot help but become joyous, smiling and regressing to “baby talk” language in an attempt to communicate.

Others become nervous, wary of losing control and don’t know quite how to act. And still some become like children themselves.

They kneel and enter the world of the child, a gracelike state of innocence, losing their adult ego in the process. The grown-up world, with all its problems, for a moment disappears. They come closer to the kingdom of heaven.

Loving children simply means you have not lost your connection to your original innocence.

Children reflect that part of you that is still innocent, loving and forgiving. If you can relate to these qualities in a child, you can certainly reconnect to them within yourself. Children give you permission to relate to a fellow child of God without the mask of your ego, with unconditional love, your true essence. Children, because they are full of love, are inherently successful.

Children Wiser than we: Working with children, we quickly learn that they can hear the unfiltered unconscious speaking direct-

ly. This is true in children suffering life-threatening illnesses who may ask, or speak very directly, about death. From the age of ten, the concerns of children can be strikingly adult.

They understand death’s universality and irreversibility and often ask questions that go right to the heart of their concerns.

These are questions, in a sense, for all of us, and it is not unwise to allow the children to give their own answers. We are better as witnesses than as guides to their remarkable capacity to identify their own fears and wonders and to deal with them. Helping them give a name to their chief fear is a service of enormous benefit. Sometimes, giving them simple information, such as the reason in some treatments for hair loss, enables the children to deal effectively with this otherwise extremely upsetting development.

Doing the human thing spontaneously – as with hugging and touching – is what is called for in these circumstances. Our best support may be given to the parents whose best instincts should be encouraged. It is also sensible, for the sake of other siblings, to keep family life as normal as possible. Counsellors, although not often the ones to make such decisions, should realize that most persons want to find out the truth about their own condition. Many of them sense it on a less than conscious level anyway.

We should not conspire to disguise or dissemble when sensitive honesty, which differs greatly from blunt and crude bad news breaking, can be helpful to the gravely ill individual.

When one thinks counselling what usually comes to the mind is the adult who may be in need of it. To be counselling a child may appear strange.

But all the same children too require psychological help; may be only in some cases it is directly affecting them but indirectly it is affecting them in most cases.

For our consideration we could perhaps take children in their late childhood where we typically need a kind of directive counselling. We just cannot ignore the early childhood too, for, there too we encounter problems either with the children themselves or with the people who care for them or with both, which is the case most of the time.

People take their roots in their prenatal existence, which grows through infancy and babyhood. Before one reaches childhood one has to pass through the first three stages of prenatal, infancy and babyhood (toddlerhood).

Conclusion: Counselling the child requires a lot of knack and skills, first of all to win over the confidence of the child if he is particularly too shy to relate to you. It may take a few sessions before the child becomes free with you. Providing an emotional catharsis for the child is essential, either by talking, play therapy, or by role-playing.

Since in most cases the child is only an ‘Identified patient’ with the understanding that the parents (elders) are the real patients, it is good to locate the real patient and focus the attention on that person. Here more than anything else the attitude of the parents needs to be changed; then slowly the maladaptive coping skills of dealing with the problem-children can be dealt with. Child is a part of the family system and treating a subsystem of parent-child relationship alone will not be enough for the total well-being.

One has to consider the whole family system with all its subsystems. Therefore, an overall approach to child counselling is strongly recommended.

Retirement corpus Here’s how you can calculate how much you need to save for your sunset years.

Dr. Mathew, a successful surgeon, in an upmarket city hospital, reached my home in a dilemma. He wanted to know if he is doing enough. My childhood friend wanted to know if he’s keeping aside enough for his retirement years.

He began, “We surgeons have a peak-period and after that our hands do not remain steady with age.” This is the most common insecurity that I see with my clients or friends, almost every day.

Is my retirement corpus going to last my lifetime?

Or how much do I need to save for my retirement years?

Before I teach you to calculate, you need to dig through a few numbers yourself.

1) Your retirement age, 2) Life expectancy, 3) Returns from your existing investment, 4) Returns from investments after you retire, and 5) Rate of inf lation.

Please note that your

returns from investments, after you retire, will be less, as you will not be able to investin high riskhigh return schemes anymore.

Let’s assume that your age is 30, your retirement age is 60, and your life expectancy is 85 years. Also, assume a return of 12 per cent from your existing investment until you retire, and eight per cent post- retirement with the inflation rate at 5 per cent. Now with the above data, the inflation adjusted return is 0.95 per cent (1+rate of return after retirement) / (1+inf lation rate)1x100.

Next step is to find your current monthly expense. Suppose, your monthly expense is Rs. 50,000, then after 30 years when you retire, you will need Rs. 2,16,097 every month if we take an inflation rate of 5 per cent. Or a yearly expense of Rs. 25,93,164.Now, in the third step, you are ready to find the corpus neededto sustain a retirement life of 25 years (60 to 85 years) with inflation in mind. With this amount, if you earn a return of eight per cent for the next

25 years, you willget an inflation-adjusted lifestyle throughout your retirement life. Now if you will do an inflationadjusted return on an Excel sheet, you will find that you need to have a corpus of Rs. 4,65,89,256 on the day you retire. I know all this figures are making you dizzy, but we are not done yet.

Now that you know how much you need to accumulate for your retirement, here comes the tricky part. How much do you need to save every month to reach your target amount for your retirement? If we calculate once again on an Excel sheet, with PMT formula, we will find that if we cangenerate 12 per cent return from our investment in the next 30 years, we need to save a monthly sum of Rs 15,122.

These calculations might look difficult for you in the beginning, but once you understand the numbers and how it works for you, you will have peace of mind, which often is rare, even for a top surgeon in his prime.

Reader’s Post The issues of ‘constitution’ and ‘flag’ need not delay settlement

Sir,

1. Constitution or Yezabo: All things tabled in the meetings are thoroughly deliberated, thrashed out and matter mutually accepted is accumulated to be printed in book form with a title of the book. Whether “Constitution” or ‘Yezabo’. Whatever it may be the contents are more important than the title of the book.

2. Flag of Nagaland in 1964 and it was followed by Political Negotiation at Prime Ministeral level, it was in recognition of the entity of Nagaland.

After 30 years of having been caught up in their own bush among the Naga National workers, the GoI and the NSCN (I-M) had signed a ceasefire agreement followed by Political Talk at highest level. It is in recognition of the entity of the Nagas. Hence the Frame Work Agreement signed on Aug ‘3’, 2015 is only a confirmation of previous agreements. Recognition of the entity of the people is the substance and Flag is the symbol. My personal opinion is that Naga Flag be used as a social flag in the office of the PAN NAGA HOHO proposed by the GoI be gladly accepted.

P Chidambaram after being produced at Rouse Avenue Court in connection with INX media case, in New Delhi. (PTI)

NEW DELHI, SEP 2 (AGENCIES): A Delhi court on Monday reserved for 5 September its order on the anticipatory bail pleas of Congress leader P Chidambaram and his son Karti in the Aircel-Maxis cases lodged by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

Special Judge OP Saini listed the matter after hearing the submissions from the agencies and the Chidambarams.

Aircel-Maxis case:

Delhi court reserves order on anticipatory bail plea of P Chidambaram, son Karti for 5 Sep File image of former finance minister P Chidambaram. PTI Earlier, the court had said that it was not happy with the agencies seeking repeated adjournments and had given the ultimatum that if they would not argue the matter, it would pass the order on 3 September.

The cases relate to alleged irregularities in grant of Foreign Investment Pro-

Frontier Nagaland demand...

(From p-1) The eight-page memorandum signed by ESH president Vikato Yeptho and general secretary Z. Robert Heeto stated that ENPO does not have the right to use Sumi land and the Sumi population census in the proposed ‘Frontier Nagaland map’ while discarding the legitimacy of the tribe and treating the Sumis as non-entity in their own land, which tantamount to gross violation of human rights.

ESH said it has exhausted all its sincere attempts to discuss this grave issue with the stakeholders and miserable failures of the state machineries to address its plight.

The hoho has therefore sought the intervention of the governor and convey the matter to the government of India that: 1) Sumi tribe was one of the major native tribes of Eastern Nagaland and therefore should be included

in the proposed Frontier Nagaland along with other stakeholder tribes or 2) Exclude the Sumi’s ancestral land with its topography and demography and population census from ‘Frontier Nagaland demand’ and initiate reorganization of the areas inhabited by Sumi tribes in Eastern Nagaland including all arrangements, as may be necessary, in consultation with and concurrence of ESH or 3) Involve ESH along with ENPO in all talks by the government of India as far as Frontier Nagaland was concerned.

Failing which, ESH said it would oppose the proposed demand of Frontier Nagaland as it directly threatened the existing of Sumi Tribe and their political, social, historical and all other legitimate rights.

ESH officials informed that Governor assured the delegation to look into the matter and ensure that ESH is not discriminated.

Clarification DIMAPUR: Apropos, the new items under the caption “ENPO’s call to all Naga groups” the statement should be read as “convey this decision, and write an appeal letter if required” to sit across the table for preparing a common agenda for solution and not as published.

motion Board (FIPB) approval in the Rs 3,500-crore Aircel-Maxis deal when P Chidambaram was finance minister.

The father and son were given interim protection from arrest by the court after they had filed anticipatory bail applications in the case. Their protection from arrest has been extended from time to time. The previous extension was ending on 23 August.

Chidambaram and Karti were named in the chargesheet filed by the CBI in the case on 19 July last year. The CBI is probing how Chidambaram, who was finance minister in 2006, granted FIPB approval to a foreign firm, when only the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) was empowered to do it.

The ED is also probing a separate money laundering case in the AircelMaxis matter, in which the Chidambarams have been questioned by the agency and their anticipatory bail is pending.

The Chidambarams are under the scanner of investigating agencies in the Aircel-Maxis deal as also the INX Media case involving Rs 305 crore.

Pilgrim thrashed on suspicion of child lifting JODHPUR, SEP 2 (PTI): A pilgrim was brutally beaten up by some villagers on the suspicion of child lifting in Rajasthan’s Jodhpur district, police said on Monday.

They took him to the nearest police chowki but fled after learning that he was a pilgrim and was just resting at a Mandla Kalan village school, they said.

“A video of the villagers beating him up mercilessly went viral on social media. On the basis of it, we have identified four persons.

A case has been registered against them,” said Phalodi SHO Rajeev Bhadu.

The victim was identified as Shambhulal Garasia from Sirohi district in Rajasthan. He was on his way to Ramdeora near Pokhran in Jaisalmer district to pay obeisance to local deity Baba Ramdeo.

“On the way to the temple, he halted to take rest at a school in Mandla Kalan village. Seeing him sitting alone, some villagers enquired about him but on not finding his response to their satisfaction, they started beating him up, suspecting him to be a child lifter,” said the police officer.

CHANDIGARH, SEP 2 (AGENCIES): The JNU administration’s move to ask historian Romila Thapar to submit her CV for assessment for her continuation as professor emeritus at the Delhi institution has not gone down well with many people.

An expert in the history of early India, Thapar was a professor at the JNU between 1970 and 1991. In 1993, she was named professor emeritus. A recipient of the prestigious Kluge Prize of the US Library of Congress, Thapar has also authored numerous books.

Professor Thapar is a strong critic of policies of privatisation of education, erosion of autonomy of institutions and crushing of dissent by institutions, including the JNU.” She was twice been offered the Padma Bhushan award, but declined it both times. She had turned it down saying that she accepted awards only from academic institutions not from state.

Twitter users could not hold themselves from reacting with many leaders joining the outrage.

The Jawaharlal Nehru University Teachers’ Association called it “politically motivated”.

Congress leader Shashi

Tharoor called the move “worse than an insult” and against “respect for intellectual merit”.

Noted lawyer Prashant Bhushan said “This govt has declared war on thought!”

“No No This cant be for real !!!!,” said actor Shabana Azmi.

Soon after JNUTA statement, the university said it is following its ordinance “in letter and in spirit” in the appointment of professor emeritus at tghe JNU. “As per the ordinance, the university is required to write to all those who have attained the age of 75 to know their availability and their willingness to continue their association with the university. Letters have been written only to those emeritus professors who fall in this category,” it said.

It explained that writing these letters is not for discontinuation but for an informed review by the executive council, the highest statutory body of the university, and it is consistent with the practices at other reputed universities such as MIT and Princeton University.

When contacted, Thapar confirmed receiving the letter in July and replying to it saying “it is a lifelong honour”. She did not elaborate.

SC refuses to interfere with HC order for FIR against NCP’s Ajit Pawar, others NEW DELHI, SEP 2 (PTI): In a setback to senior NCP leader Ajit Pawar, the Supreme Court on Monday refused to quash the investigation started by Maharashtra Police against him and over 70 others in the Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank scam, saying the probe cannot be stopped.

The apex court refused to interfere with the Bombay High Court’s direction for the police to register an FIR against Pawar and others in the scam.

A bench comprising justices Arun Mishra and M R Shah was hearing the petition filed by some of the accused challenging the August 22 order of the high court. A day after the high court order, the Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW) had registered the FIR in connection with the scam.

While disposing of the petition, the bench observed, that the case involves huge money and investigation cannot be stopped.

“We are not going to interfere with the high court order,” the bench said, adding that the investigation will proceed ahead uninfluenced by the order and observation of the high court.

cept the arguments of some accused persons who had moved the apex court that the Bombay High Court should not have entertained the PIL which was not maintainable in the criminal matter.

Through their lawyers, they submitted that the order was passed without all of them being heard.

Pawar, Peasants and Workers Party (PWP) leader Jayant Patil and several former directors of the bank are accused of violating banking and RBI regulations while disbursing loans to sugar mills at very low rates and selling off assets of defaulter businesses at throwaway prices.

Such sale of assets, disbursement of cheap loans and a failure to ensure repayment resulted in losses of over Rs 1,000 crore to the bank between 2007 and

2011, it is alleged.

The accused allegedly forged records and fudged figures to show the bank was making profits.

Pawar, a former deputy chief minister and finance minister, was a director of the bank during the relevant period.

Inquiries by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development and a charge sheet filed by a quasi-judicial inquiry commission under the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act had blamed Pawar and other accused for the bank’s losses.

Surinder Arora, an activist, had filed a complaint against Pawar and others with the EOW in 2015.

He approached the high court through his lawyer S B Talekar when no FIR was registered on his complaint.

Digvijaya trying to destabilise KYGK demands arrest of accused Congress govt in MP: Minister involved in August 16 killing BHOPAL, SEP 2 (PTI): A Madhya Pradesh minister has claimed senior Congress veteran Digvijaya Singh is trying to “destabilise” the Kamal Nath government, indicating factional feud in the state where the party came to power just nine months ago after 15 years in opposition.

Forest Minister Umang Singhar wrote a letter to Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Sunday in this connection.

The explosive letter, which indicates fissures in the Madhya Pradesh Congress, comes in the backdrop of names being propped up for the post of the state unit president, currently held

by Kamal Nath, who took over as Chief Minister in December 2018.

However, some other ministers came forward to downplay the issue and affirm that Singh was a senior leader much liked by everyone associated with the party. Singh recently wrote to state ministers, urging them to give him appointment so that he can know what action has been taken on his recommendations for transfers and other works.

Singhar took strong exception to Singh’s letter and without taking his name, said the former chief minister is running the Nath-led government from “behind the curtain”. The tribal MLA from Gandhwani, talking to reporters here, said “When he is running the government from behind the curtain, which is known to everyone, including Congress workers, then what was the need to write a letter (to ministers)”.

In his letter to Gandhi, Singhar said, “I am writing to you with a lot of pain to inform you that senior party leader and MP (Singh) is trying to destabilise the Kamal Nath government and trying to establish himself as a power centre.”

Singh has been continuously writing letters to the chief minister and his cabinet colleagues and also circulating them on social

media, Singhar claimed.

“He (Singh) had also written letters to Nath regarding Vyapam, e-tendering and tree plantation scams, but had not written about Simhast (Kumbh Mela held in Ujjain in 2016) scam as his son Jaivardhan Singh is now heading the urban administration and development ministry.

“The Congress had made it (Simhast scam) a big issue while it was in the opposition,” Singhar said.

“Such letters give credence to the opposition, including former chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Leader of Opposition Gopal Bhargava, that Digvijaya is running the government from behind the curtains,” he added.

When contacted by PTI, Singhar confirmed he wrote the letter to Gandhi, and asked “what is wrong with it”.

DIMAPUR: Külolau Yemishe Ghami Küqhakulu (KYGK) through a memorandum to Commission of Police has demanded that the absconding accused involved in August 16 killing be arrested at the earliest.

In the memorandum, KYGK president, Vihoshe Awomi and general secretary, Ayeho Ayemi stated that one of its member, Toishe Yeptho, was shot dead in front of his wife, children, mother and family members on August 16 by miscreants, where they (miscreants) also attempted to kill the deceased’s wife.

Kü l o l a u Ye m i s h e Ghami Küqhakulu therefore demanded that the accused if arrested should not be granted bail under any circumstances but should be awarded befit-

ting punishment in accordance with the law of the land. It further warned that Külolau Yemishe Ghami Küqhakulu will not be held responsible for any untoward incident in the event of the accused released on bail.

KYGK further said that since the culprits belonged to the NSCN (R) faction and to enable the law enforcing agency to take legal course of action, the NSCN (R) has terminated two of its membersKhekato Kinimi, defence kilonser-cum-UTI supervisor and Chungshi Longkumer, deputy kilonser, after they were found to be involved in the killing.

In this regard, the Külolau Yemishe Ghami Küqhakulu has appealed to the higher authority to take up the matter seriously.

KOLKATA, SEP 2 (PTI): A suspected member of the terror outfit Jamaat-ulMujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) in India was arrested here by the Special Task Force (STF) of the Kolkata Police, a senior official said on Monday.

Acting on a tip-off, an STF team arrested 22year-old Mohammed Abul Kashem alias Kashem from the Canal East Road near Gaznabi Bridge, he said.

Kashem is a resident of Durmut village under the Mangalkote police station limits in Burdwan district, the officer said.

“We have seized several incriminating articles from his possession. We have grilled him and got more information about the JMB and other members who are currently working for the terror outfit. A specific case under relevant sections is being registered by the STF,” he said.

Earlier this year, RBI removed five banks - Bank of India, Bank of Maharashtra, Oriental Bank of Commerce, Allahabad Bank and Corporation Bank - from the PCA framework in two phases after capital support from the government that resulted in improvement in their financial parameters.

The capital infusion helped these lenders meet requisite capital thresholds and reduced their net NPA levels to below 6 per cent.

Out of 11 banks put under the PCA framework last year, Dena Bank ceased to exist as a separate entity after its merger with Bank of Baroda in April, while IDBI Bank has been acquired by LIC.

New Delhi, Sep 2 (PTI): Growth of eight core industries dropped to 2.1 per cent in July, mainly due to contraction in coal, crude oil and natural gas production, according to a government data released on Monday.

The eight core sector industries -- coal, crude oil, natural gas, refinery products, fertiliser, steel, cement and electricity -- had expanded by 7.3 per cent in July last year.

These core industries comprise 40.27 per cent of the weight of items included in the Index of Industrial Production (IIP).

Ouput of coal, crude oil, natural gas and refinery products recorded negative growth during the month under review.

New Delhi, Sep 2 (IANS): Slowing economy and rise in input costs pulled India’s August manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) to a 15-month low. The seasonally adjusted IHS Markit India manufacturing PMI came in at 51.4 in August, its lowest since May 2018. In July, the index stood at 52.5.

equity in times of a global growth slowdown.

An outflow of nearly Rs 3,600 crore has been witnessed from the equity segment, in continuation of the relentless selling trend seen over July-August after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in her maiden budget levied the tax surcharge on FPIs. “The pre-Budget position is restored. It is being done to encourage investment in the capital market,” the Sitharaman had said.

Some analysts said that but for the FPI tax rollback, the outflow could have been worse.

The flow of FPIs, also known as “hot money” because of their high sensitivity to the extant health of the economy, is closely interlinked with the performance of the Indian stock markets.

Following the FPI tax surcharge announcement on July 5, the Sensex and Nifty fell sharply from their respective lifetime highs owing to the sharp outflow of foreign funds.

India gets consular access to Jadhav for 1st time I S L A M A BA D, S E P 2 (PTI): For the first time since Kulbhushan Jadhav’s detention in 2016, a top Indian diplomat met him on Monday at a sub-jail for an hour after Pakistan granted consular access to the Indian death-row convict “in line with the ICJ judgement”.

India’s Deputy High Commissioner in Islamabad Gaurav Ahluwalia met the retired Indian Navy officer at the sub-jail here, amid tensions between the two countries over Kashmir.

Their meeting lasted for an hour, Geo TV reported, quoting sources.

Before meeting Jadhav, the senior Indian diplomat met Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Mohammad Faisal at the foreign ministry.

Jadhav, 49, was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on charges of “espionage and terrorism” in April 2017, following which India had moved the International Court of Justice (ICJ), seeking a stay on his death sentence and further remedies.

On August 1, the Foreign Office said the retired

Kulbhushan Jadhav (File)

Indian Navy officer will be granted consular access the next day. However, the meeting, which was scheduled for 3 pm on August 2, did not materialise amid differences between India and Pakistan on the terms of the consular access to Jadhav.

India had demanded “immediate, effective and unhindered” consular access to Jadhav from Pakistan and was in touch with Islamabad through diplomatic channels. However, it is not yet clear if the consular access provided on Monday was unhindered as demanded

by India. On Sunday, Faisal tweeted that consular access for Jadhav will be provided on September 2 “in line with Vienna Convention on Consular relations, ICJ

judgement & the laws of Pakistan”.

The consular access to Jadhav came amidst fresh Indo-Pak tensions, which spiked after India abrogated provisions of Article 370 of the Constitution to revoke Jammu and Kashmir’s special status and bifurcated it into two union territories.

On August 7, Pakistan expelled Indian High Commissioner Ajay Bisaria after it downgraded the diplomatic ties with India over the Kashmir issue.

On July 17, the ICJ ordered Pakistan to undertake an “effective review and reconsideration” of the conviction and sentence of Jadhav and also to grant consular access to India without further delay.

Pakistan claims that its security forces arrested Jadhav from the restive Balochistan province on March 3, 2016 after he reportedly entered from Iran.

However, India maintains that Jadhav was kidnapped from Iran where he had business interests after retiring from the Navy.

In December 2017, the

wife and mother of Jadhav the Foreign Office - but from were allowed to meet him at behind a glass screen.

Jadhav under extreme pressure, says India

Kulbhushan Jadhav, who was granted consular access on Monday over three years after his arrest, appeared to be under “extreme pressure” to push a false narrative designed to further Pakistan’s claims,” the foreign ministry in New Delhi said.

The foreign ministry’s first official reaction on Jadhav’s consular access came hours after Indian High Commission’s Charge d’ Affaires Gaurav Ahluwalia met the Indian national sentenced to death by a military court.

Fo r e i g n m i n i s t r y spokesperson Raveesh Kumar, responding to media queries on the consular access, said New Delhi was still waiting for a “comprehensive report” on the access granted to Jadhav.

But “it was clear that Shri Jadhav appeared to be under extreme pressure to parrot a false narrative to bolster Pakistan’s unten-

able claims,” he said.

New Delhi’s statement also underlined the government’s commitment to work towards “ensuring that Shri Jadhav receives justice at the earliest and returns safely to India.”

The meeting came a little less than two months after the International Court of Justice, ICJ, held Pakistan “in egregious violation of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, 1963 on many counts”. The ICJ, also known as the UN court, had ordered Pakistan to provide Indian consular officers access to Kulbhushan Jadhav.

New Delhi had turned down a conditional offer for consular access extended after the ICJ ruling which was found to be too restrictive and sought “unimpeded” contact with the Indian national in an environment free from fear of intimidation and reprisal.

Rasheed, a known motormouth, told reporters in Nankana Sahib in Punjab province on Sunday that the Line of Control with India and other bilateral accords with New Delhi had been ended by Pakistan after India revoked Jammu and Kashmir’s special status.

hit (and destroy) a targeted area,” The News newspaper quoted the minister as saying after he inspected an under-construction railway station building.

His comments came as Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has been harping on the possibility of a military confrontation

‘Pak openly practises terrorism, no scope for dialogue with it’ LONDON, SEP 2 (PTI): Pakistan openly practises terrorism and there is no scope for negotiations until Islamabad reins in its financing and recruitment of militant groups, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said.

Jaishankar was responding to the recent opinion piece written by Prime Minister Imran Khan on Kashmir in the New York Times where he argued that it was urgent to begin discussions while a “nuclear shadow” hovers over South Asia.

In an interview with POLITICO in Brussels, Jaishankar said the idea was a nonstarter while Pakistan “openly practises terrorism”.

Noting that he hasn’t had time to read Khan’s Friday op-ed, the External Affairs Minister, who was in Brussels last week, said there was no hope of negotiations until Pakistan reins in its financing and recruitment of militant groups.

“Terrorism is not something that is being conducted in dark corners of Pakistan.

It’s done in broad daylight,” he was quoted as saying in the report.

India has not been engaging with Pakistan since an attack on the Air Force base at Pathankot in January of 2016 by Pakistan-based terrorists, maintaining that talks and terror cannot go together.

Responding to the situation in Kashmir after India ended its special status, the minister said the security restrictions across the Valley would be eased in the “coming days”.

He said the internet and telephone outages were needed to stop the activation of “terrorist assets” and to prevent “people who are

doing violence to contact each other”.

“How do I cut off communications between the terrorists and their masters on the one hand, but keep the internet open for other people? I would be delighted to know,” Jaishankar said.

“I would suggest to you that in the coming days you will see an easing up progressively,” he said.

This should involve a reduction in the number of extra security forces, he said, adding that he wanted the police sent back to their original duties soon.

“Frankly they have other jobs and other things to do,” Jaishankar said.

He also denied that there was a Hindu nationalist agenda in removing Kashmir’s special status in order to allow more nonMuslims to buy property there and muscle aside the Muslim majority.

“The kind of people who say this are people who don’t know India. Does this sound like the culture of India?” he asked.

Tensions between India and Pakistan spiked after New Delhi on August 5 abrogated provisions of Article 370 of the Constitution to revoke Jammu and Kashmir’s special status and bifurcated it into two Union Territories.

Pakistan has been trying to raise the issue at various international fora, but India has maintained that it is an internal matter and has asked Islamabad to accept the reality.

During his visit to Brussels, Jaishankar met president of the European Parliament David Sassoli and European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini, who urged dialogue between India and Pakistan, the report said.

between the two nuclear armed countries over the Kashmir issue.

He said India should avoid a war with Pakistan, lest it proves the last one between the two nuclear armed countries.

The minister, who suffered an electric shock on Friday while speaking against Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a rally during the “Kashmir Hour”, said that if a war was imposed on Pakistan, India would be divided into 22 parts.

Reacting to Pakistan raising the nuclear issue frequently, the External Affairs Ministry spokesperson earlier this month noted that Islamabad would like

to project a “panic situation” in South Asia.

“From their side, they would like to project a panic situation, the international community does not think there is a war like situation.

It is a ploy to deflect attention,” the MEA spokesperson said in New Delhi on August 9. Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated after New Delhi on August 5 revoked Jammu and Kashmir’s special status and bifurcated it into two union territories. Reacting to India’s move on Kashmir, Pakistan downgraded its diplomatic ties with New Delhi and expelled the Indian High Commissioner.

Rasheed claimed that

India committed “two blunders”: firstly, conducting atomic explosions with a wrong perception that Pakistan would not do so; secondly, it scrapped special status of Kashmir on August 5, believing Kashmiris would not react to it.

The railways minister, who cancelled the Samjhauta Express and Thar Express trains between the two countries after India’s decision on Kashmir, said only result-oriented dialogue could be started with New Delhi.

He said, “a dialogue is possible if India takes a step towards resolving the Kashmir issue as per the United Nations resolutions.

US envoy shows draft of USTaliban deal to Afghan leaders KABUL, SEP 2 (AP): A US envoy showed the draft of a US-Taliban agreement to Afghan leaders on Monday after declaring they were “at the threshold” of a deal to end America’s longest war, an official said.

Presidential adviser Waheed Omer in a Twitter post said envoy Zalmay Khalilzad again met with President Ashraf Ghani on Monday after an initial meeting Sunday evening upon arriving from Qatar, where the ninth round of US-Taliban talks ended without a final agreement.

A deal on ending nearly 18 years of fighting is closer to reality even as the Taliban attacked the capitals of Kunduz and Baghlan provinces in the north over the weekend. Violence continued in Kunduz on Monday as a suicide bomber targeted a police checkpoint and killed two officers and wounded seven others, said police spokesman Zabihullah Shafaq. Afghan’s presidency was expected to brief the media Monday afternoon on Khalilzad’s visit.

The Afghan government has been shut out of the negotiations as Taliban dismiss it as a US puppet, but intra-Afghan talks that include the government are meant to follow a USTaliban deal.

The insurgent group is at its strongest since the US-led invasion to topple its government after the September 11, 2001 attacks

on the US. The Taliban, who now control or hold sway over roughly half of Afghanistan, have stepped up attacks in recent months to strengthen their negotiating position.

The United Nations and others say civilians have suffered, often caught in the cross-fire as government forces, backed by the US, have pursued the militants with airstrikes and raids.

Afghanistan was the world’s deadliest conflict in 2018.

The Taliban want all of the estimated 20,000 US and NATO forces to leave the country and already portray their departure as the insurgents’ victory.

“We are on the verge of ending the invasion and reaching a peaceful solution for Afghanistan,” the Taliban spokesman in Qatar, Suhail Shaheen, said over the weekend. For its part, the US seeks Taliban assurances that Afghanistan will not be a safe haven for

extremist groups to plan and launch global terror attacks. A cease-fire also has been discussed. The agreement with the Taliban “will reduce violence and open the door for Afghans to sit together to negotiate an honorable & sustainable peace,” the Afghan-born Khalilzad said before his Kabul arrival.

A US official with the negotiation team added that “any potential peace deal will not be based on blind trust, but will instead contain clear commitments that are subject to our monitoring and verification.”

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter with the media. The official added that a deal would lead to “intra-Afghan negotiations where the Taliban will sit with other Afghans and together they will commit to a permanent and comprehensive cease-fire.”

Racist abuse mars Inter Milan’s victory

Rome, Sep 2 (Agencies): Inter Milan’s Belgium international Romelu Lukaku was subjected to racist abuse as he scored a second-half penalty to earn his new side a 2-1 victory at Cagliari in Serie A on Sunday.

The former Manchester United striker appeared to be the target of monkey chants from the home crowd at the Sardegna Arena as he prepared to take the decisive spot kick.

Former Juventus forward Moise Kean was also on the receiving end of racist abuse by Cagliari fans at the same stadium last season.

The 26-year-old Lukaku sent goalkeeper Robin Olsen the wrong way with 20 minutes remaining to mark his second goal in as many games for his new club before turning to glare at the home fans responsible for the taunts.

“I think that in Italy we must improve a lot and be more educated and respectful towards those doing their job,” Inter coach Antonio Conte told a news conference. “In other countries you support the team, you don’t insult the opposition like this. There must be the

maximum respect. Today I was treated well and wasn’t insulted, other times it hasn’t happened like that and it’s not nice.”

Lautaro Martinez had opened the scoring just before the half-hour only for the hosts to level through Joao Pedro soon after the break. Inter lead Serie A after two rounds on six points along with Torino and champions Juventus, while Cagliari have yet to pick up a point. The Milan club had got their season off to the

perfect start with a 4-0 home win over promoted Lecce, but they struggled to find the same swagger against a Cagliari side featuring former Inter midfielder Radja Nainggolan.

Martinez headed the visitors in front after 27 minutes but his celebrations were cut short by a raised offside flag, although the goal was awarded after a lengthy Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review.

The Sardinian side levelled five minutes into the

second half when Pedro powered a header home from a whipped Nahitan Nandez cross.

Stefano Sensi’s freekick rattled the bar for Inter on the hour mark and the midfielder then proved crucial in the winning goal as he was tripped by Fabio Pisacane to hand Lukaku the chance to convert from the penalty spot.

Arsenal hold Spurs 2-2 in London derby

LO N D O N, S e p 2 (Agencies): Arsenal strikers Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette inspired a stirring comeback against rivals Tottenham Hotspur to salvage a 2-2 draw in a thrilling north London Premier League derby on Sunday.

Spurs were looking to bounce back from a shock 1-0 home loss to Newcastle United and went ahead through Christian Eriksen and a Harry Kane penalty before Lacazette struck before the break and Aubameyang got a 71st minute equaliser.

Arsenal, who were beaten 3-1 at Liverpool last week, are in fifth place with seven points while Spurs are ninth on five after four games.

The visitors took a 10th minute lead when Eriksen knocked the ball into an empty net on the rebound, capitalising on some sloppy goalkeeping from Arsenal’s Bernd Leno, who could only parry Erik Lamela’s weak shot into the path of the Dane.

Arsenal had most of the ball on a sun-soaked afternoon at the Emirates Stadium but Tottenham were far more threatening

phatic strike after controlling an exquisite pass from the club’s record signing Nicolas Pepe.

Kane came close to sealing the points for Tottenham when he struck the post but Arsenal became galvanised when Spanish midfielder Dani Ceballos came off the bench and hit a shot which keeper Hugo Lloris did well to tip over.

An equaliser looked ever likelier and duly arrived when Gabon striker Aubameyang prodded a

lofted pass from Matteo Guendouzi into the net in the 71st minute, scoring a third goal in four Premier League games this season.

“It was an amazing match. We are proud of our work and our supporters,” said Emery.

“The key was the first goal to give us confidence and give us more chances in the second half. We deserved it.” Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino also felt Lacazette’s timely goal was pivotal.

Williams, Svitolina reach US Open qtrs

NSF Martyr’s Memorial Trophy from Sep 20

N e w Yo r k , S e p 2 (IANS): Six-time champion Serena Williams and Elina Svitolina of Ukraine progressed into the quarterfinals of the US Open after registering thumping victories in their Round of 16 matches at the Flushing Meadows.

On Sunday, Williams entered the US Open quarters for the 16th time in her career with a straight-sets win over Petra Martic of Croatia at an electric Arthur Ashe Stadium.

The 23-time Grand Slam women’s singles champion defeated Martic 6-4, 6-3 to set up a last-eight date with China’s Wang Qiang, who stunned No.2 seed Ashleigh Barty 6-2, 6-4 in one hour and 22 minutes, to move into her maiden Grand Slam quarter-final.

Martic had never been past the second round of the US Open in seven trips to Flushing Meadows, and her lack of big-match experience proved costly, as Williams gained momentum and never took her foot off the pedal.

“I feel fine right now

on the break and Leno was forced to keep out stinging efforts from Kane and Eriksen in the first half.

Tottenham were then awarded a penalty for a clumsy foul by Granit Xhaka on the lively Son Heungmin and Kane converted in the 40th minute to put Spurs on track for a first league win on enemy territory in nine years.

However, Arsenal’s France striker Lacazette halved the deficit right before halftime with an em-

physically and obviously my state is super intense,” Williams said in the on-court interview after the match.

“I’m always incredibly intense. I am just trying to keep moving forward.”

Meanwhile, Ukrainian fifth seed Elina Svitolina delivered a solid serving performance to beat American Madison Keys 7-5 6-4 and secure a spot in the quarterfinals.

With Keys struggling with her backhand, Svitolina won 92 percent of her first serve points and did not face a single break point during

the 75-minute clash under the Arthur Ashe Stadium lights. “Very pleased that I could play very consistent tonight and in such a great atmosphere is very special,” said Svitolina, who capped the match in style when she served out to love.

With the win, Svitolina is the first Ukrainian woman to reach the U.S. Open quarter-finals since Kateryna Bondarenko in 2009.

Up next for Svitolina will be Briton Johanna Konta, who upset Czech third seed Karolina Pliskova earlier on Sunday.

D i ma p u r , S e p 2 (NPN): The 20th NSF Martyrs’ Memorial Trophy, organised by Angami Students’ Union (ASU), will be played at local ground (Khuochiezie), Kohima from September 20 to October 20.

“Conceding with the last action of the first half gave relief to Arsenal and was an emotional hit to us, we were very down, before our emotions were very high and football is all about emotion,” he said.

Arsenal’s Sokratis Papastathopoulos later had a goal ruled out for offside while Tottenham’s Moussa Sissoko spurned a last-gasp chance in a thrilling finale by blasting over the bar after Kane was denied a penalty when he tangled with Sokratis.

Tottenham striker Kane said his side were disappointed to have let their lead slip.

“I feel like we’re coming off disappointed, we expected to see the game out,” he told reporters.

“The (Lacazette) goal hurt us with momentum just before the break. It was an end-to-end game, especially the last 10-15 minutes, but the players left everything on the pitch.”

The England international also felt he should have been awarded a second penalty.

“As a striker, if it is on halfway (line) it is a definite foul. In the box you don’t always get them,” he added.

WI 145/4 at lunch after Ishant, Jadeja strike Kingston, Sep 2 (PTI): India inched closer towards another clean sweep after West Indies lost a couple of wickets to be reduced to 145 for 4 in pursuit of an improbable 468 in the second and final Test here on Monday.

West Indies require another 323 runs with only six wickets, if a physically indisposed Darren Bravo comes out to bat in the later stages.

Ishant Sharma (2/28) got his second wicket of the innings while Ravindra Jadeja (1/33) removed the dangerous Roston Chase but was unlucky not to have scalped Shamarh Brooks (36 batting off 84 balls) after overstepping.

Starting the day at 45 for 2, the hosts were left unsettled when Bravo (23 batting) added only five runs to his overnight score before complaining of uneasiness and left the ground.

The reason for his ill health couldn’t be ascertained as a medical bulletin from the West Indies team management is expected.

Van Dijk, Messi, Ronaldo shortlisted for FIFA Best Player award Madrid, Sep 2 (IANS): Juventus’ Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, Barcelona’s Argentine talisman Lionel Messi and Liverpool’s Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk made the short list for the Best FIFA Men’s Player award, the international soccer federation announced on Monday.

The announcement came days after the Dutchman prevailed over Messi and Ronaldo to win the UEFA Men’s Player of the Year award for 2018-19.

Van Dijk succeeded Real Madrid’s Croatian midfielder Luka Modric, who last year pipped Ronaldo, with whom he had helped the Spanish club earn its 13th UEFA Champions League title, and Egyptian Mohamed Salah, who led Liverpool to the final of the elite continental club competition.

The short list for the Best FIFA Women’s Player featured Olympique Lyonnais’ Briton Lucy Bronze -- who clinched the UEFA award a few days ago -- and Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe, who were part of the US national team which won the FIFA

Grecco describes Palmeiras’ matches to her blind son while Sanchez is a Cerro fan who assists all the matches of his favourite team’s rival Rampla to honuor the memory of his son who was killed in a traffic accident after a match.

The winners will be revealed during a ceremony at Milan’s La Scala theatre on September 23.

Indian players celebrate after taking a wicket on Day 4 in Kingston.

Brooks was joined by a dogged Chase (12 off 36), who was ready to bring his best defensive game to the fore negotiating the troika of Jasprit Bumrah (0/22), Mohammed Shami (1/44) and Ishant safely.

However after a 41-run stand, it was Jadeja who trapped Chase leg-before as the umpires’ call upheld the on-field decision. It was a fuller delivery that was pitched on leg stump and hit

Chase on the front-leg.

Shimron Hetmyer (1), who has had a nightmare of a series, didn’t last long as Kohli’s plan to keep a fielder at cover paid off. Birthday boy Ishant bowled one at a drivable length and the uppishly played shot was gleefully pouched by Mayank Agarwal.

Manchester, Sep 2 (IANS): England batsman Joe Denly on Monday asserted that he will open the batting for his side in place of Jason Roy in the fourth Ashes Test starting from Wednesday.

Roy has been out of form with just 57 runs to show for in his six innings since tasked to open the batting ahead of the Ashes series against Australia.

“I got a call from Joe Root after a bit of time off and he said he’d like for me to go at the top of the order and try and get us off to a good start,” Denly told BBC Radio 5 Live.

About Roy, he said England’s World Cup star will drop to number four for the Old Trafford Test.

“Obviously Jason’s going to bat at four.”

Denly hit an important half-century in England’s second innings of the third Test at Headingley, which the hosts won riding Ben Stokes’ epic 135 not out to level the series 1-1 with two matches to go.

“With Jason Roy in the team, I think we’re a better team for sure,” Denly said backing his under-fire teammate who was one of the important members of England’s World Cup triumph in July.

“With him coming in at four with hopefully the new ball worn off, and hopefully myself and Rory (Rory Burns) doing our jobs at the top, it enables him to come in and play his way. He’s a dangerous player so he’s great to have there.”
