Naga solution vital for regional peace: Rio Spacecraft set to attempt moon landing

Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, SEP 6 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister, Neiphiu Rio, has asserted that a political solution to the decades old Naga political issue was imperative for sustainable peace and progress to the northeast region of the country.

Rio was speaking at the valedictory session of the two-day 26th conference of Director Generals of Police (DGsP)/ InspectorGenerals of Police (IGsP) and heads of Central Police Organisations (CPOs) of North Eastern states hosted

by Nagaland Police Friday at Rhododendron Hall, Nagaland Police Complex, Chumoukedima.

“A political solution to the Naga political imbroglio will surely bring stability to the entire region,” said Rio. The chief minister asserted that a political solution to Naga issue would also change the dynamics of security and progress of the region as the Naga movement was considered to be “the mother of all insurgencies” in the entire region.

Rio was hopeful that a solution between govern-

ment of India and Naga Political Groups (NPGs) would work out at the earliest and usher in a new era of “genuine peace”, all round progress, inclusive development and economic growth in northeast region.

On security of northeast region, Rio said security related issues of the north eastern region have inter-state, national and international ramifications as the region shared international boundaries with five countries.

In this backdrop, Rio said it was imperative to understand the importance of the overall scenario without undermining the sensitivities and emotions of the populace.

“In a democratic country like ours, we need to ap-

preciate the ethnic, linguistic and religious diversities that lie within the rich yet fragile region,” said Rio. With decline in insurgency related violence, Rio said the security situation in the northeast region has shown significant improvement in the recent years due to combined effort of security forces and government’s policies.

He said some states were now “completely free” from insurgency related violence while insurgency activities have been largely contained in other states.

In regard to Nagaland, the chief minister said most of the Naga national organisations were in cease-fire and that there has been relative cessation of hostilities except for some stray inci-

dents from time to time.

Rio lauded the Conference for their efforts in maintaining peace and security in the region. He said the forum was gradually evolving as an important platform for regional coordination and contributing towards better understanding and cooperation among the state police, central armed police forces and other central police organisations deployed in the region.

The chief minister also highlighted some areas of concerns and challenges faced by police and security agencies such as terrorism, cyber crime, financial frauds and organised crime using modern technology.

Asserting that these situations have created invincible enemies and that these new challenges required new strategies, Rio highlighted the need to relook at the mode of training and curriculum so that law enforcing agencies were in tune with the constantly changing dynamics.

The chief minister also underscored the need to evolve policies to address serious issues like police transparency, poor infrastructure, corruption, meri-

torious recruitment at all levels, abuse of power and position, obsolete weaponry and enhancement of intelligence gathering with the use of technology.

Rio said it was time for police to introspect and undertake measures to correct the system in the greater interest of the nation and to win the trust of the citizens.

“We must understand our enormous potentials, overcome out shortcomings and emerge as a key player in the new environment of the global economy”, said Rio.

BENGALURU, SEPT 6 (PTI): As the nation awaits with bated breath for the soft-landing of the ‘Vikram’ lander on the south pole of the lunar surface, the first attempt by any country, ISRO said on Friday everything related to the much awaited touchdown is going as per plan. Joining the nation in wishing ISRO a success, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the mission manifests the best of Indian talent and spirit of tenacity. “Its success will benefit crores of Indians,” he said in a series of tweets.

“We are eagerly waiting for the event. Everything is going according to the plan,” Chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation K Sivan told PTI on Friday.

The touchdown of ‘Vikram’ lander is scheduled between 1.30 am and 2.30 am, followed by the rollout of rover ‘Pragyan’ between 5.30 a.m and 6.30 a.m.

As India attempts a soft-landing on the lunar surface, all eyes will be on the lander ‘Vikram’ and rover ‘Pragyan’. The 1,471kg ‘Vikram’, named after Dr Vikram A Sarabhai, father of the Indian space programme, is designed to

execute a soft-landing on the lunar surface, and to function for one lunar day, which is equivalent to about 14 earth days. Chandrayaan2’s 27-kg robotic vehicle ‘Pragyan’, which translates to ‘wisdom’ in Sanskrit, can travel up to 500 metres from the landing spot on the Moon and leverages solar energy for its functioning.

“The lander carries three scientific payloads to conduct surface and subsurface science experiments, while the rover carries two payloads to enhance our understanding of the lunar surface,” according to ISRO. ‘Vikram’ will perform a series of complex braking manoeuvres to soft-land in the South polar region of the Moon between two craters, Manzinus C and Simpelius N, on September 7.

A few hours later, the rover will roll down from ‘Vikram’ and will explore the surrounding lunar terrain. Chandrayaan-2, a follow-on mission to the Chandrayaan-1 venture launched more than a decade ago, comprises an orbiter, lander (Vikram) and rover (Pragyan).

The mission life of the orbiter will be one year while that of the lander and rover

will be one lunar day which is equal to 14 earth days. A successful touch-down will make India the fourth country after Russia, the US and China to achieve a soft landing on the moon, and the first to launch a mission to the unexplored south polar region. The Chandrayaan-2 is a Rs 978 crore unmanned moon mission (satellite cost Rs 603 crore, GSLV MK III cost Rs 375 crore).

India’s Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle, GSLV MkIII-M1 successfully launched the 3,840kg Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft into Earth’s orbit on July 22.

On September 2, ‘Vikram’ successfully separated from the orbiter, following which two de-orbiting manoeuvres were performed to bring the lander closer to the Moon.

The health of the spacecraft is being continuously monitored from the Mission Operations Complex at ISTRAC here with support from Indian Deep Space Network (IDSN) antennas at Bylalu, near Bengaluru.

The orbiter carries eight scientific payloads for mapping the lunar surface and study the exosphere (outer atmosphere) of the Moon, according to ISRO officials.

KU affirms stance on statehood demand DIMAPUR, SEP 6 (NPN): Konyak Union (KU) and executive board council at a meeting held at Mon HQ on September 6, 2019, which thoroughly discussed all aspects of the impending Naga political solution, has wholeheartedly welcomed it in principle.

In a press statement, KU president S Howing and general secretary Wango Konyak asserted that the executive body, however, “accorded the demand of the Frontier State moved by the ENPO and so long pending with the G.o.I; Centrality to the concept of the solution and grant of statehood should form part and parcel of the same.” KU stated that erstwhile “Tuensang Division” of the then NEFA comprising the present four districts of Eastern Nagaland amalgamated to the then Naga Hill districts of Assam to form Nagaland state.

NPRAAF says CIHSR flouting MoU DIMAPUR, SEP 6 (NPN): Claiming that Referral Hospital Dimapur, has become more of ‘commercial centered’, the Nagaland Public Rights Awareness and Action Forum (NPRAAF) has urged the Christian Institute of Health Science and Research (CIHSR) board to ensure that rates of treatment were revised to serve the objective it espoused.

NPRAAF through its information & publicity wing stated that the government of Nagaland entered into tripartite agreement by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Emmanuel Hospital Association (EHA) New Delhi and Christian Medical Centre (CMC) Vellore on January 25, 2005 to establish CIHSR. Pointing out flaws in the MoU, the NPRAAF asserted that MoU must be rectified to make EHA ac-

countable for any financial mismanagement or any legal liability arising in management of the hospital.

Though tripartite MoU was entered just for a period of 30 years, the NPRAAF said that the EHA has already established a nursing college and now it was in the process of establishing a medical college inside the hospital perimeter.

Querying whether EHA was undertaking such steps with the state government approval, the forum said EHA in the cover of CIHSR should not venture something that could go beyond its contract term unless it has an ulterior motives to serve its interest. It stated neither EHA nor CMC Vellore had invested anything in cash or in kind in the hospital as spelled out in the MoU. NPRAAF said that the hospital was expected to render better health care

at an affordable cost without profit motive as envisaged in the MoU. It also appealed to the state government to ensure employment of local in the referral hospital.

NPRAAF affirmed that it would remain vigilant and take the matter to a logical end if the EHA dominated CIHSR failed to respect the MoU and worked unilaterally pushing its sole interest.

The forum also affirmed to continue monitoring and scrutinizing CIHSR working system for the larger interest of poor patients of the state. On the state government’s proposal to established medical college in Kohima, the forum suggested that feasibility of public medical college would be best at the premises of Referral hospital Dimapur, which has all the facilities for the students.

Pradesh to develop power NRC: Building of detention centre causes fear Arunachal sector with focus on clean energy

Under-construction detention camp at Matia, Goalpara.

Matia (Assam), Sep 6 (IANS): The under-construction detention camp at Matia in western Assama’s Goalpara district is adding to the fear of thousands of people who failed to make it to the just published National Register of Citizens (NRC).

Out of the ten detention centres which are being built by the Assam govern-

ment in different districts, the one at Matia in Goalpara is the largest one with capacity to house 3,000 inmates. The remaining nine detention centres will be constructed to house 1,000 inmates each. While the construction of this centre has started, the construction works for other nine centres are yet to begin. The other nine detention centres are

likely to be constructed at Barpeta, Dima Hasao, Kamrup, Karimganj, Lakhimpur, Nagaon, Nalbari, Sivasagar and Sonitpur.

While the estimated cost of construction for the detention centre at Matia is approximately Rs. 146 crore, the estimates cost for construction of all the ten centres is Rs. 1000 crore.

The final NRC pub-

lished by the Assam government on August 31 have excluded the names of 1.9 million people. These excluded people have to approach the Foreigners’ Tribunals and make fresh claims to ascertain their Indian citizenship and can move to higher courts subsequently.

“We are genuine Indian people. My forefathers were born here in this land.

However, in 1997 I was categorized as a “D” voter.

Following which, I was served a notice from the Foreigners’ Tribunal. I pursued the case and finally the Session court in Goalpara district ruled in my favour saying that I am an Indian citizen. Yet my name is not there in the draft NRC,” said 55-year-old Saheb Ali, a resident of Khutamari village in the district. Matia is located about 30 km from Khutamari village.

Saheb’s mother’s name is also not found in the NRC, which is worrying Saheb. He said that his mother’s name was included in the voter list

of 1966. “We have submitted the documents while filing the forms. However, her name is not there in the draft NRC,” said a concerned Ali. “We are not scared. We are Indian people, but yes I am concerned as the government is building some detention camps for those who fail to prove their Indian identity during the process. It will be difficult for us, if especially my mother had to spend days at detention centres at her age,” he said.

The fear of Ali and many others like him are being compounded as there are instances innocent people being sent to detention camps for failing to prove their identity.

One Mohammad Nur Mohammad, a resident of the Khutamari village, has already spent nine years and seven months in a detention centre before he was released last month following a Supreme Court order to release those who have spent more than 3 years in detention.

Itanagar, Sep 6 (PTI): The Arunachal Pradesh government is committed to all-round development of power sector with emphasis on clean energy, Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein has said.

Calling upon engineers of the power and hydropower departments to work in close coordination for optimally harnessing the hydro potential of the state, the deputy chief minister said, all forms of energy resources should be harnessed for developing the power sector.

Mein, who also holds the power portfolio, was speaking to the engineers at a review meeting here on Thursday.

“Improved power scenario, evacuation of power and transmission line projects are of vital importance to the state,” he said.

Concerted efforts have to be made to draw maximum power from the hydro power stations of the state, which would help in renew-

able energy accreditation, an official communiqué said on Friday.

Highlighting that Kambang Small Hydropower Project (SHP) has to be put to use immediately, the minister directed the officers concerned to restore the dedicated 33 KV line within 45 days. Monsoon

fury had damaged several transmission lines of the project in July.

He also asked the officers to prepare estimates for new projects with utmost diligence and improve the transmission system so that additional million units could be generated from hydro projects in the state.

To GreatLiar, Happy Birthday to one of the nicest person I have ever met.May this year be even more wonderful and blessed.

They were later taken to Imphal police station for further action against them.

The police have also opened the office by breaking the padlock.

The STDCM has been pressing the state government to declare its (government’s) definite stand to the demand for inclusion of

Meetei/Meitei community in the ST list.

The committee was also pressing the state government to send the mandatory recommendation for inclusion of the community in the ST list of the Indian Constitution to the Centre.

Earlier, the STDCM members led by its president Dhiraj Yumnam turned up at the NF Railway office all of a sudden , took out the staffs from the office before locking the office with the padlock.

STDCM president Dhiraj Yumnam announced that all activities related with railway projects in Manipur has banned with effect from today.

“We have locked down the Railway office as the state government failed to meet the deadline. We have further decided to impose a ban in the implementation of railway projects in the state,” Yumnam said.

He added that they will impose ban on construction work of the railway lines.

The president warned that if the construction goes on without reaching an understanding with the state government, then STDCM will not held any responsibility arising out of violation of the ban.

Yumnam said that inclusion of Meitei/Meetei in the ST list of India was a must to save the community from extinction. The community is on the verge of extinction. The community needs constitutional protection, he added.

STDCM has been pressing the state government to recommend the Centre to include Meetei/ Meitei community of Manipur in the Scheduled Tribe list of India.

Day 1 in Tihar: Chidambaram walk, read, served porridge there in view of the ongoing court cases against him, officials said.

The veteran Congress leader was brought to Asia’s largest prison from the court in Rouse Avenue amid high security on Thursday, a journey that took nearly 35 minutes. The court allowed him to carry his spectacles, prescribed medicines to the jail and directed that he be kept in a separate cell in the Congress leader and former finance minister P Chidambaram Tihar prison as he is under Z category protection. being taken to Tihar jail in New Delhi, Thursday. (PTI) NEW DELHI/KOLKATA, SEP 6 (PTI): After a restless night spent on a wooden plank in his prison cell, former Union minister P Chidambaram began his day in Tihar Jail on Friday with a walk in the courtyard, some reading and then a meeting with his son Karti, sources said.

The senior Congress leader, who was taken to Tihar on Thursday evening, remained on edge the entire night, they said.

This morning, which began with a walk in the jail courtyard and a light breakfast of tea and porridge at 6 am, was spent reading religious scriptures and the day’s newspapers, they said.

Later in the day, the senior Congress leader got a visit from his son. His advocate was also expected to meet him.

The veteran politician, who is lodged in Jail No.7 which usually houses those accused in Enforcement Directorate cases, asked for a cot to sleep on but will get it

only after a medical examination by a jail doctor finds he needs one, sources said.

The Congress leader, who was also the home minister during UPA 2, was sent to judicial custody for 14 days on Thursday in a corruption case related to the INX Media group.

Chidambaram, who will be 74 on September 16, could well spend his birthday in jail if he doesn’t get bail before that.

He has been given no special facilities, except a separate cell and a Western toilet as specified by court, prison officials said.

Like other inmates, he has access to the prison’s library and can watch television for a specified period.

Before being given his cell, Chidambaram underwent a mandatory medical checkup. His son Karti was also lodged in this cell for 12 days in the same case last year. Chidambaram’s cell was prepared in advance, with jail authorities anticipating that he might be kept

Centre should have shown Chidamabaram some respect : Mamata

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday criticised the manner in which former union minister P Chidambaram was sent to Tihar jail in the INX Media case.

The central government should have shown him “minimum respect”, she told the state assembly here. I dont know what is there in the Chidambaram case. Law will take its own course. But what was the purpose of keeping him Tihar jail like an ordinary prisoner? They should have shown minimum respect to him, Banerjee said.

A Delhi court had on Thursday sent former union finance minster P Chidambaram in judicial custody till September 19 in the INX Media case. The court allowed Chidambaram to carry his medicines to the jail and directed that he be kept in a separate cell considering that he has Z-security.

NEW DELHI, SEP 6 (IANS): India and South Korea signed two MoUs pertaining to defence cooperation during Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s visit to the East Asian nation.

The MoUs are aimed at furthering defence educational exchanges and extension of mutual logistical support for the navies of both countries, Defence Ministry officials said on Friday. Singh met his South Korean counterpart Jeong Kyeongdoo on Thursday during his three-day visit to the country, which will end on Friday.

“Had productive discussions with the Minister of National Defence of RoK, Mr Jeong KyeongDoo, during bilateral meeting. The ongoing defence cooperation engagements have made good progress in recent years. We agreed that there was great potential to further enhance these ties,”

NEW DELHI, SEP 6 (PTI): The Supreme Court on Friday sought a response from the Centre on petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the amendments made in the UAPA. The petitions challenges the changes to the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act on various grounds, including that these infringed upon fundamental rights of citizens and empowered agencies to declare a person a terrorist.

A bench comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice Ashok Bhushan issued notices to the central government on petitions filed by Sajal Awasthi and an NGO, Association for Protection of Civil Rights (APCR).

The bill for amendments to the UAPA was passed by Parliament on August 2 and it received the President’s assent on August 9. The amended Act allows the Centre to designate individuals as terrorists

and seize their properties.

The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Amendment Act, 2019 also provides for putting a travel ban on such individuals once they are declared as terrorists.

The petition filed by APCR said the amendments infringed upon the fundamental right to reputation and dignity under Article 21 of the Constitution, without substantive and procedural due process.

MUMBAI, SEP 6 (PTI): Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal is being questioned by the ED here on Friday in a case of alleged contravention of the foreign exchange law, officials said.

This is the first time that the central agency is grilling him after it conducted searches against him last year. Goyal’s statement has been recorded under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) at the agency’s zonal office here, they said.

A dozen premises, including Goyal’s Mumbai residence, his group companies, their directors and offices of Jet Airways, were searched in August. According to agency sources, the businessman’s empire had 19 privately-held companies, five of which were registered abroad. The agency is probing charges that these firms allegedly carried out “doubtful” transactions under the guise of selling, distribution and operating expenses.

People figures

hile the rest of the north eastern states have reacted to the recent National Register of Citizens (NRC) list released in Assam, the fate of a little over 19 lakh people left out hangs in uncertainty. The aim of the NRC was to separate genuine Indian citizens from undocumented immigrants in the state. Anyone unable to prove that they or their ancestors had entered Assam before midnight on March 24, 1971, would be declared a foreigner.

The state government, in a public notice on August 27, said that those left out of the final list of the NRC can file appeals before foreigners tribunals, which are quasi-judicial bodies that adjudicate matters of nationality in Assam. They would be given 120 days to file appeals. The state said it will provide legal aid to those filing appeals. The tribunals have the power to declare people foreigners and send them to detention centres before they are deported. There are currently 100 foreigners tribunals in the state, but that number is expected to rise sharply in the months to come – 200 in the near future and 1,000 eventually.

The role of the Assam tribunals has also come under focus in the light of allegations that many officers were rewarded on the basis of the number of people declared as foreigners. It means the more the better and the lesser the worse. Data from four foreigners tribunals revealed disturbing patterns of bias against Bengali-speaking communities, particularly Muslims.

Assam is in the grip of a communal divide between Bangla speaking Muslims and the rest. While the BJP has been accusing Congress of pandering to minorities for votes, the party itself has unabashedly pitched for the majority religious community. The NRC result has put the BJP in a bind. BJP promised that the 40 lakh outsiders would be identified and deported but that looks hollow in the view of the NRC list. The number of people left out stands at less than half of what the BJP promised. Influx into India came in 1971 during the Bangladesh War, when Hindu refugees fled war torn erstwhile East Pakistan. It is estimated that around 10 million East Bengali refugees entered India during the early months of the war, of whom 1.5 million may have stayed back after Bangladesh became independent. These refugees remain in India and became the citizens of India and never went back to independent Bangladesh due to economic, fear of insecurity for being a minority there. Interestingly, several reports in the media claim that most of those left out were those who voted for BJP and that they are none too pleased with what has befallen them. Even in Nagaland the other version of NRC- the Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland(RIIN)- could also face several hurdles over who is and who is not an indigenous inhabitant, especially in Dimapur. The cut off year for being classified as indigenous inhabitant is December 1,1963 but Dimapur was notified as a tribal belt only in 1979. Over and above, the point is that the state’s population underwent a reduction in 2011 to 19,78,502 from 19,90,036 in 2001. Earlier, the state witnessed unrivalled and unexplained growth from 12,09,546 in 1991 to 19,90,036 in 2001. The RIIN would be looked upon to put the census figure in perspective and resolve the confusion before proceeding to ILP regime.

DailyDevotion The Far-Reaching Rivers of Life

He who believes in Me…out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. —John 7:38 A river reaches places which its source never knows. And Jesus said that, if we have received His fullness, “rivers of living water” will flow out of us, reaching in blessing even “to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8) regardless of how small the visible effects of our lives may appear to be. We have nothing to do with the outflow— “This is the work of God, that you believe…” (John 6:29). God rarely allows a person to see how great a blessing he is to others.

A river is victoriously persistent, overcoming all barriers. For a while it goes steadily on its course, but then comes to an obstacle. And for a while it is blocked, yet it soon makes a pathway around the obstacle. Or a river will drop out of sight for miles, only later to emerge again even broader and greater than ever. Do you see God using the lives of others, but an obstacle has come into your life and you do not seem to be of any use to God? Then keep paying attention to the Source, and God will either take you around the obstacle or remove it. The river of the Spirit of God overcomes all obstacles. Never focus your eyes on the obstacle or the difficulty. The obstacle will be a matter of total indifference to the river that will flow steadily through you if you will simply remember to stay focused on the Source. Never allow anything to come between you and Jesus Christ— not emotion nor experience— nothing must keep you from the one great sovereign Source.

Think of the healing and far-reaching rivers developing and nourishing themselves in our souls!

God has been opening up wonderful truths to our minds, and every point He has opened up is another indication of the wider power of the river that He will flow through us. If you believe in Jesus, you will find that God has developed and nourished in you mighty, rushing rivers of blessing for others.

Quotes

Child labor perpetuates poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, population growth, and other social problems. ~ Kailash Satyarthi

Nagaland Post, Dimapur SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2019

A

preacher recently told in my village church about the growing contradiction between godly initiatives and increased selfishness.

The scope of education had prompted believers to pray more and feel sensibly spiritual; indeed the religious conscience outclassed those simple villagers without good education. Scriptures become easier to understand and there’s concerted building of the fellowship one cling to. The preacher agreed to these religious disciplines – but all is vain when there’s no love.

Today when Nagas face more divisions in a time of needed togetherness, it reminds of similar atmospheres unfolded in the recent past. Touch Kohima was a spiritual movement to erase the ills of society.

Memories are fresh how people actively participated in these programmes between fellowships, chain prayers and occasional meetings at the Kohima local ground.

It was great fun witnessing the toll of public outpour and love. Nagas’ unique representation is reflective of the distinct tribes functioning smoothly. People’s lifestyles are identical with their usual community perspectives as a classification of broad customary provision. Over the period of time, the nature of Naga representations had spiraled into multiple groups and as some

A

Love can restore the Nagas argue they represent the aspirations of the people, to stand for their rights; protect their identity and freedom. Unfortunately, a crucial blow durably struck the Naga society with division around factions, tribes and politics, weakening at all the quest for a qualified nation state.

It was notable how the creation of Nagaland state didn’t satisfy spectrums of the Naga family coupled

by Shillong Accord and many episodes. It is equally important not to squeeze the political struggle upon these loop holes, notwithstanding potential mistakes of all the leaders.

The objective of struggle must mend ways of organizing the Naga family, after all we don’t want to live divided. Let us redeem society with its rightful treatment of a commendable respect.

Naga generations cannot afford to lament the habitat while enjoying the breadth of development making rapid stride. Legacies play roles of alluring people’s attachment to society. Ironically, what is the legacy Nagas can count today?

Whereas patterning groups and movement rules the day, vast chunk of socio-cultural imbalances had formed the Naga profile. Apart from politics which is grievous, the societal state mulls on the lack of humane touch.

The appalling picture shows that the Naga cultural blessings and moral

respect are taking a plummeting course. The young generation is reasonably sad, angry, and frustrated at the unending spell of division - thinking if we can ever see an enduring Naga body? Will the reconciliation efforts not revive again? Should it not engage the division in Naga Hoho being the apex body apart from urging the military outfits? It is not to embarrass the sincere efforts made by concerned individuals; however it is disheartening how the Naga organizations are instrumented by sharp division of opinions, to the extent of aligning people against people.

The public at large may not know or agree with the intricacies which asserting leaders think are right. It is inevitable but to face the price of division which some leaders/ groups are unrelenting to part with.

The simplicity Nagas once adorn with honesty might have been complicated by uncontrollable selfishness and pride. Considering the one aspect of Naga cultural set up, it may be expedient to launch a conscious nationwide crusade for spiritual repentance under the leadership of the tribal churches and organizations. Past initiatives like Touch Kohima however limited, had great impact in weakening human barriers, similar to the FNR moves of harnessing peaceful atmospheres.

It strengthens love be-

tween peoples and tribes.

Love is spiritual and transcending; families without love see no peace. It has the ability to heal the wounds deep inside human souls.

Our great efforts at resolution are possibly run out of love as the preacher had rebuked. Perhaps God does not want to let ruin love in the Naga family and begin another history at this particular juncture. Love is the most precious gift God has given to mankind.

Nagas can think of this reality and feel the political adrenaline standing. On a critical note though, people should not be excited with the government announcing to resolve talks in three months. It is natural to imagine how the agreement will come. Frankly, without underestimating effort, the Naga family doesn’t look ready yet.

It appears somewhat still quarrelling. Nevertheless, when the factions have sincerely explored for solution, it’ll be more useful for the public to allow a fair trial. It is a time to say sorry and ask forgiveness for the outfits whose past actions had left deep scars in the public domain.

Public also must respect that some of the top leaders are God fearing and called to serve the nation which we could not go; hence usher possible ways at resolution.

If this exercise takes place, the air will clear to what solution looks for, or India’s bargaining strength would be shaken. So far,

logical muddling remains.

One cannot take for granted the ruling government enjoying absolute majority on the heels of proclaiming one government one constitution thereby not expected to soften at Naga’s element of threatening the Indian Union. It is to large extent a state propounded

by Hindu philosopher V.D Savarkar. Naga leadership had voiced critical at the manoeuvring shifts of dialogue, where the lack of constitution and flag were crucial. We can draw lessons from contemporary Kashmir pending the final solution.

Kashmir had gone ahead of Nagaland into the Delhi’s net. An encyclopaedic view of Delhi’s interior can thus portray the Naga passage through the Parliament, or that it could follow patterns which Kashmir had come across. Delhi’s scenario of authoritarianism has had become less relevant to append state consent on taking authoritative decisions – Kashmir bears testimony.

Politically, Delhi wanted a breather against customary restraint in a time India needed unitary mandate for international prerogatives. Snappy transmissions by the NSCN and the Centre’s Interlocutor reveal that the talks are clutched over a separate constitution and flag, similar to erstwhile Kashmir. Eventual setback of talks will then envelope around what Delhi’s parameter invites, citing NSCN emissary that

the ball is in Delhi court.

Nagas can perhaps expect a Kashmir-like model (highest autonomy in Indian history), and yet in future eventuality face the same fate. Another assessment gives that the Centre is envious to resolve conflict with the NSCN hence preparing ground to place the agreement. However, if the Naga situation turns crucial against settlement, the Centre may legitimately occupy the chair for necessary legislation.

A careful understanding of Nagaland provision entitles the Governor with discretionary position even compared to the other states of India. Delhi can either impose the Framework Agreement without separate constitution or govern with existing provision. If these are ruled out, Nagas still face the formidable Indian state and frontal divisions on the other. Without doubt, it serve long term goal if the broken Naga family be restored with love and relieve the pain. It will lighten the deal with India’s diplomacy as a contest of rights than power. It is imperative for optimist anyway, that the ruling government bears record of an incorrigible mantle to gnaw every bit of the democratic fabric in a very short run. Never in the history of Indian democracy has the present so called lawmakers been so ‘callous-carefree-cranky’ altogether.

Nehru and also submitted more than 10 memorandums to India before India became a republic in 1953.

Nagas also raised their National Flag on August 14, 1947 and conducted a national plebiscite on May 16, 1951 to declare to India and the world that we would remain an independent nation in the comity of nations in the world. But the Indo-Naga-Burmese conflict has remained unresolved till date.

All these historical, political and geographical facts clearly show that the Nagas did not hoist their Independence flag on August 14, 1947 so that they can become a state under India or have a shared sovereignty with India or any other neighbouring countries. Therefore, any negotiated solution that bypasses these political facts of Naga history will never bring any solution to the Naga problem of occupation by India and Burma.

Also, any Naga national group that would betray Naga national and geographical identity to any other country would be committing treason against the Naga nation. Such an act would also amount to a treasonous act against

God and our ancestors who have given us both our national and geographical identities.

In conclusion, the Indo-Naga-Burma conflict comes down to this International question as to whether a Caucasian nation like Britain can without consulting the Nagas, dissect their Mongolian Naga lands and gift it to India and Burma as presents?

The corollary question for India and Burma also boils down to this question: Can these two nations just occupy these Naga lands which had never been a part of their territories all down the centuries of human history? Until these questions are politically and legally resolved from an international level, the Indo-Naga-Burma conflict will continue to shed Naga, Indian and Burmese blood for all times to come.

NB. Details of the many of the above mentioned memorandums, historical records and accounts of the political history of the Naga nation can be found in the book: “Nagaland and India, the blood and the tears or “The Naga Saga” which are one and the same book.

Reader’s Post Sir,

Appeal for calm and peace

I am deeply saddened to watch the video and hear about the incident at Lamhainamdi village in Peren where houses were burnt down due to land dispute. I appeal to all sane thinking people and organizations to reason together and engage in dialogue and resolve whatever issue in the best interest of everyone. I sincerely pray that the situation will return to normal and that things will not escalate further. As Nagas, we cannot afford to fight amongst ourselves particularly at this time when we are talking about peace. Let us go back to our roots where disputes were solved with dialogue and social participation.

IAS officer in Karnataka If attacked, India will give a befitting reply: Naidu resigns for ethical reasons

MANGALURU, SEP 6 (PTI): A Karnataka IAS officer resigned on Friday, claiming that the fundamental building blocks of democracy are being compromised in an unprecedented manner, a move that immediately took on a political colour with the Congress seeking to target the NDA government on the issue.

Dakshina Kannada district Deputy Commissioner (DC) S Sasikanth Senthil tendered his resignation from the IAS and clarified that the decision was purely a personal one.

“I have taken this decision as I feel that it is unethical for me to continue as a civil servant in the government when the fundamental building blocks of our diverse democracy are being compromised in an unprecedented manner”, Senthil said in a letter to his ‘friends’. He also said he feels strongly that the coming days will present extremely difficult challenges to the basic fabric of the nation and that he would be better off outside the IAS to continue with his work at making life better for all.

“It simply cannot be business as usual anymore,”

S Sasikanth Senthil he remarked. Meawhile, Congress leaders, including Legislative Council member Ivan D’Souza and party workers staged a protest in the Dakshina Kannada district headquarters town of Mangaluru against Senthil quitting from the IAS. Veteran Congress leader M Mallikarjun Kharge termed the resignation as an “indicator of the way India is moving”. “The democratic values are in danger and things are not happening according to the constitutional provisions.

Hence there is dejection.

These IAS officers function directly come under the Central government. That’s the reason that he(Senthil) has resigned,” Kharge claimed while talking reporters. He also alleged that institutions

like the Income Tax, Central Bureau of Investigation, Central Vigilance Commission and the judiciary were losing their “independence” due to the ‘interference’ of the central government.

BJP leader and Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister K S Eshwarappa sought “clarity” from Senthilon his resignation.

“I want to ask (from the officer) in clear terms, make your intentions clear.

Please don’t give confusing statements,” Eshwarappa told reporters when his reaction was sought. “If the officers do not cite a clear reason, then it will lead to chaos and confusion across the state”,Eshwarappa said, adding, it would also damage the reputation of the officer. In the letter, Senthil said his decision to resign was in no way connected to anyone or any event in his current profile as Deputy Commissioner of Dakshina Kannada district.

“The people and the public representatives of DK (Dakshina Kannada) have been extremely kind to me and I owe an apology to them for discontinuing the job vested on me midway,” he said in the letter.

NEW DELHI, SEP 6 (PTI): India has been acting with restraint despite “grave provocations” but if attacked will give a reply the aggressor will be unable to forget, Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu said on Friday, in a veiled warning to Pakistan.

He made the remarks after launching a compilation of 95 speeches delivered

by President Ram Nath Kovind during his second year in office. The books titled ‘Republican Ethic (vol. 2)’ and ‘Loktantra ke Swar (khand 2)’ have been brought out by the Publications Division under Ministry of Information & Broadcasting.

Referring to a quote from the books on India’s commitment to protecting the sovereignty of the country through peaceful means, the vice president said India has always strongly adhered to the values of peace and cooperation but warned the country would give a befitting reply to any acts of aggression against it.

“If you go through the history of India, it was never an aggressor, never attacked any country in spite of being known as ‘vishwaguru’ (world leader), in spite of having maximum GDP, much before others. India

M Venkaiah Naidu flanked by Prakash Javadekar (R) and Thawar Chand Gehlot releases a book of selected speeches by Ram Nath Kovind in New Delhi. (PTI) never attacked any other country,” Naidu said.

“All other Tom, Dick and Harry came and attacked us, ruled us, ruined us and cheated us... But we Indians, never attacked any country,” Naidu said, adding that this has been stressed by the president in his speeches also.

India believes that the entire world is one family and therefore why should it quarrel, he said.

The problems could be resolved through discussion, debate and decision and that is the way forward, he said.

“If you want to live in harmony, in peace, you must

live together, work together, and then move together.

That is the philosophy of India,” the vice president said.

“In spite of grave provocations, you must be seeing in the recent past, we are not doing anything, but if somebody attacks us, we will give a reply to them which they will not be able to forget for the rest of their lives,” Naidu said, without naming any country.

This, he added, should be understood by everyone, including the provocateurs.

His remarks come amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan

after the abrogation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.

The vice president said India was at a crucial moment in its history where it could take a big leap towards inclusive development by overcoming major challenges and formidable obstacles in its way to achieving inclusive development.

Underlining that the president expected a high level of commitment and empathy among bureaucrats, Naidu said President Kovind has inspired hundreds of young civil servants to become change agents delivering social justice and

acting as custodians of constitutional ethic and rule of law.

He said the book of selected speeches was a profound collection of the president’s nuggets of wisdom.

Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar said the books will be available for purchase on all e-platforms like Kindle and App Store in order to meet the demands especially of readers preferring to read books in e-mode.

He highlighted that the speeches have been divided into eight categories — Addressing the Nation, Windows to the World, Educating India: Equipping India, Dharma of Public Service, Honouring our Sentinels, Spirit of the Constitution and Law, Acknowledging Excellence and Mahatma Gandhi: Moral Exemplar, Guiding Light.

Union minister Thaawarchand Gehlot said the president has dedicated his life for social justice, reflected in the speeches presented in the books. He said Kovind is ‘people’s President’.

Later, Javadekar, I&B Ministry Secretary Amit Khare, and other top ministry officials met President Kovind and presented first copies of the books to him.

Mumbai, Sep 6 (PTI): The Indian rupee continued its winning momentum for a third session in a row on Friday, rising 12 paise to settle at 71.72 against the US dollar as signs of easing trade tensions between the US and China enthused investors.

Sectorally, BSE auto, power, metal, utilities, energy, bankex, consumer durables and finance indices gained up to 2.54 per cent.

On the global front, equities advanced following reports that China and the US would resume their trade negotiations next month.

50 basis points lower than the 6.97% average recorded in the April to June quarter, warranting a big fall in small savings rates, analysts say.

Interest rates on small savings schemes are reset every quarter based on the yields on govt bond yields. In 2011, the Gopinath Committee had suggested that small savings rates be linked to government bond yields.

So interest rates of different small savings schemes are set every quarter with 25-100 basis points markup over the yields of government bonds of similar maturity. Worth mentioning here is that the RBI has asked all banks to link all their floating rate future loans to retail and MSME to external benchmarks like repo rate or treasury bills.

New Delhi, Sep 6 (Agencies): Investors in small savings schemes may feel the pinch of falling interest rates from October 1 when the government will revise rates on these schemes. Interest rate on Public Provident Fund (PPF), National Savings Certificate (NSC), Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP), Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS) and post office Monthly Income Scheme (MIS) may fall by a big margin as government bond yields, which are used as a benchmark for setting rates on these schemes have come down drastically in the last three months.

Tensions ease in African xenophobia row

South African looters take items from an alleged foreign-owned shop during a riot in Johannesburg on September 2.

Johannesburg, Sep 6 (IANS): Tensions eased between twin African powerhouses South Africa and Nigeria on Thursday after Pretoria temporarily closed its diplomatic missions in the rival state following a wave of attacks on foreignowned stores there that claimed 10 lives.

“Nigeria does not seek an escalation of the ongoing situation,” a senior aide to Nigeria’’s President Muhammadu Buhari told reporters on condition of anonymity. “We will work with South Africa to find solutions to their problems

which have become our own problem. We will work as brothers,” the aide said.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said earlier Thursday that at least 10 people were killed including one foreign national, while dozens of shops were destroyed in xenophobic violence in and around Johannesburg this week, triggering angry demonstrations in several African countries.

Foreign workers often face anti-immigrant sentiment in South Africa, where they compete against locals for jobs, particularly in lowskilled industries.

Pope slams corruption, wraps up Mozambique visit Maputo, Sep 6 (IANS): Pope Francis on Friday ended a visit to Mozambique with a mass denouncing corruption in the worlds poorest nations and called for reconciliation because no society should base itself on the “eye for an eye” principal.

During the mass, delivered to a 60,000-strong crowd in Zimpeto stadium on the northern outskirts of Maputo, the Pontiff made reference to the country’s violent past and one of the greatest issues affecting some nations in Africa: corruption.

The Pope warned that sometimes “those who appear to want to help have other interests”, according to Efe news.

“It’s sad when this

is found among brothers from the same land who are corrupted,” said the Pope, adding: “It’s very dangerous to accept this as the price we have to pay for foreign aid”.

The Pope said there was still fear over the “injuries” of the past returning to wipe out the path to peace, such as in the northern Cabo Delgado province earlier in the year where armed groups launched attacks.

“It’s hard to talk about reconciliation when injuries caused over so many years of disagreement are still so fresh, or the invitation towards forgiveness that doesn’t mean ignoring the pain or asking for the loss of memory or ideals,” the pope said.

“No amount of anger and frustration and grievance can justify such acts of wanton destruction and criminality,” Ramaphosa said. “Equally, there is no justification for the looting and destruction of businesses owned by South Africans,” he said.

Other African nations have appealed for calm, urging their nationals in South Africa to exercise caution.

Nigeria, the source of many of the workers in South Africa, has stepped up security after apparent reprisal attacks, while violence also flared in the Demo-

cratic Republic of Congo on Thursday.

In Nigeria, South Africa’’s embassy in the capital Abuja and consulate in the economic hub of Lagos were shut on Wednesday.

South Africa’’s foreign ministry called the decision a “precautionary measure”.

South African telecoms giant MTN temporarily closed its Nigeria outlets on Wednesday after protesters attacked South Africanowned firms in several cities.

And in another outbreak on Thursday, angry crowds in DR Congo’’s second largest city Lubumbashi smashed the windows of the South African consulate and looted South African-owned stores.

Meanwhile, Madagascar’’s national football team called off a friendly match with South Africa this weekend because of security concerns.

It was the second time South Africa’’s Bafana Bafana were cancelled on this week after Zambia turned down a match on Wednesday for similar reasons. Ramaphosa condemned the violence, but acknowledged: “We face a huge challenge.”

“Taking action against people of other countries is not right,” he said. “South Africa is home for all.” The nationality of the victims

has yet to be determined.

A group of residents late Wednesday confronted a mob caught breaking into a local retail store in the northern township of Katlehong. The unrest continued on Thursday as police clashed with protesters in the area, firing rubber bullets and stun grenades to disperse the crowd.

David Makhura, the premier of Gauteng province which includes Johannesburg, told reporters that Katlehong was the only area still “giving us a great deal of worries”. Ramaphosa said 423 people have been arrested since the weekend.

In 2008, xenophobic violence left 62 people dead, while in 2015, seven were killed in attacks in Johannesburg and Durban. The latest violence has soured ties between the continent’’s biggest powers, with Nigeria boycotting the World Economic Forum on Africa in Cape Town this week.

Nigeria also summoned Pretoria’’s ambassador on Tuesday and said it would send an envoy to convey “Nigeria’’s displeasure over the treatment of her citizens”. The government said the head of private Nigerian airline Air Peace Airlines had offered to fly Nigerians home for free.

UK High Court: Johnson’s suspension of Parliament ‘lawful’ London, Sep 6 (IANS): The UK’s High Court on Friday ruled that Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s decision to suspend Parliament for five weeks in the run-up to Brexit was lawful.

Judges at the court rejected a case brought by lawyer and activist Gina Miller, who claimed Johnson, also the Conservative party leader, had abused his powers. The ruling is set to be appealed in the Supreme Court on September 17.

The three judges at the court found that Johnson’s request for Queen Elizabeth II to prorogue Parliament between mid-September until October 14, when there would be a Queen’s Speech setting out the government’s plans for the coming year, was legal. While the government played the move off as routine, opposition MPs said the timing of the suspension was aimed to limit their ability to block a possible no-deal Brexit before the UK leaves the EU on October 31.

Miller said she was disappointed with the ruling, according to Efe news.

“We are very disappointed with the judgment today. We feel strongly that parliamentary sovereignty is fundamental to the stability

and Hindu supremacist government; this is an issue that impacts not just the South Asian region but the whole world.” Pakistan observes September 6 as the Defence and Martyrs Day to mark the anniversary of the 1965 war with India.

Te n s i o n s b e t we e n India and Pakistan have heightened after New Delhi revoked the special status for Jammu and Kashmir on August 5 and bifurcated into two union territories.

“Pakistan has launched proactive diplomatic activity in the world capitals as well as in the UN to expose the true face of today’s radicalized India,” said the cricket-

They formed human chains outside schools in Kowloon Tong, Tai Po and on Hong Kong Island, and asked other students to join them to put pressure

on Chief Executive Carrie Lam’s administration, the South China Morning Post reported. The demonstrators, most of whom were alumni, chanted school anthems and popular antigovernment cheers, such as

fered for the “independence of occupied Kashmir” as well as for the progress and prosperity of Pakistan, Radio Pakistan reported.

In his Defence Day message, President Arif Alvi said: “We will continue raising their just struggle for freedom at all levels and platforms. Indian brutalities and cruelties cannot suppress their spirit of freedom.”

Addressing a ceremony at the General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa said that “Pakistan will never leave its Kashmiri brethren and their cause alone and will keep fighting

“there are no rioters, only a tyrannical regime”, and “Hongkongers, add oil”.

Some students in school uniforms also joined the effort to form a human chain. The rally extended about 700 metres along the narrow, tree-lined pavement around two blocks, situated in an otherwise quiet middle-class neighbourhood with lowrise residential buildings.

Protesters want an independent investigation into the use of force by police, an amnesty for arrested protesters, a halt to categorising the protests as riots, and the implementation of universal suffrage. Their show of defiance continued despite Lam’s announcement on Wednesday that she would formally withdraw the extradition bill that has sparked months of protests in the city.

Robert Mugabe (File)

Harare, Sep 6 (IANS): Former Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, a “hero” of the independence struggle against British colonial rule who later became an iron-fisted ruler, has died at the age of 95 in a Singapore hospital, where he had been receiving treatment.

T h e n o n a ge n a r i a n leader, seen by the West as an unrepentant dictator eventually overthrown by his own military at the end of 2017, had been hospitalized in the Asian country since April.

For a countr y still struggling by the economic crisis the long-serving President left behind, news of Mugabe’s death awoke bitter memories of a man who went from being the nation’s father figure to one of the greatest examples of an anticolonial hero who, once in power, turned to autocracy.

The son of a carpenter and a teacher, Mugabe was born on February 21, 1924 near Harare, in what was then Southern Rhodesia, a British colony. Mugabe waded into politics aged 36 and got involved with several groups engaged in the incipient Zimbabwean in-

dependence struggle against the UK, for which he was imprisoned in 1964.

He spent a decade behind bars and was later obliged to live in exile. In 1979, he signed the Lancaster House Agreement which paved the way for an independent Zimbabwe.

In the country’s first post-colonial elections, Mugabe became Prime Minister, a post that was abolished in 1987 to create the office of President.

He enjoyed that position for the next three decades thanks to some questionable elections and the systematic repression of his opponents, reported Efe news. During his tenure, Mugabe entered controversy with his order in 2000 to expropriate thousands of farms from white farmers for redistribution among the black population.

He had a taste for harsh rhetoric and would label his critics “traitors”. Mugabe blamed internal problems, like the floundering economy, on international sanctions and took aim at the US and the UK, accusing them of fabricating lies about him. His views on the LGBT community also attracted a wealth of critics after he said gay people were worse than “dogs and pigs”. Aware of the need for change and perhaps appeased by old age, in his last years in power Mugabe -- a devout Catholic -- began a campaign to try to transform his image.

Miller has previously challenged the government on its Brexit approach.

Following the referendum in 2016, in which 52 per cent of the UK voters opted to leave the EU, then Prime Minister Theresa May decided to invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, which would officially notify Brussels of the country’s intention to leave and set a two-year negotiation period to manage the departure.

Miller argued that such a move required parliamentary backing. The case went all the way to the Supreme Court, where judges ruled in favour of Miller, dismissing the government’s appeal.

Miller herself said she received an onslaught of abuse following the process.

Johnson’s powers have been significantly weakened in recent days as he lost his working majority as well as control of the parliamentary agenda.

Opposition par ties banded together to push through a bill that would force the government to seek a Brexit extension if it fails to agree on a deal during the European Council summit in mid-October.

It removes the option of no-deal, which Johnson has held onto as leverage in the negotiations.

The Prime Minister fired 21 Conservative MPs who voted against the government and then lost a vote calling for a snap election on October 15. The leader of the main opposition Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, has said that any snap elections could not be held on Johnson’s watch.

Five-day state level Temjen Toy launches ‘ThinkFest’ puppetry training concludes N agaland’s chief secretary, Temjen Toy on Friday launched the two day ‘ThinkFest’ on the business of music at Regional Centre of Excellence for Music & Performing Arts (RCEMPA), Jotsoma organized by Task Force for Music & Arts (TaFMA).

The chief secretary said that the aim of the government is to ensure that every part of the state and every young talent should get the opportunity and the possibility to achieve their aspirations. In line with this approach, he stated that Hornbill Rock Contest has now been redesigned to make it into a full experiential music festival where the bands from within the country, abroad and representing every district will get to play and perform at the Hornbill Rock outside the limiting boundaries of a competitive event.

Toy said that now big bands, international names and upcoming talents will all get “Tickets to Hornbill” and make this event one of the biggest music festivals on an international scale and

also mentioned that the state government has changed the nomenclature of the Music Task Force to Task Force for Music & Arts to expand the scope and reach of this government undertaking.

It is a unique model, and a first of its kind, and has attracted the attention of the rest of the country, he remarked.

He also added that the appointment of the present advisor is also a clear indi-

cation that the state government is serious in its policy of engaging the real stakeholders of the music and arts fraternity in elevating this industry. He maintained that likewise the TaFMA has taken several decisions that fully engages the entire industry and has made its initiatives more inclusive and widespread where he also quoted “While we are partnering with renowned names and internationally

acclaimed personalities and brands, we are also reaching out to each and every part of the state, especially the backward districts with programmes and initiatives.”

There is no doubt that we have an abundance of musical talent in Nagaland, the chief secretary stated.

He said, “Every Naga is able to hum a song, sing a tune and play the strings of a guitar and that we are musically inclined but to

achieve recognition at the highest levels and to make successful careers in today’s competitive environment we need a professional approach. That is why TaFMA has been made to step up its activities and formulate policies that will be game changers and that is the reason why ThinkFest and other linkages with music academies and institutions will partner us as knowledge partners, conduct exchange programmes, residencies, etc.”

He expressed happiness saying that TaFMA is on the right track and urged all the stakeholders to come and avail the opportunities not as participants but as partners in reaching towards our common endeavours.

TaFMA advisor Theja Meru delivered the welcome remark and special song was presented by Harmonic Voices. The first day programme also include talk on creation to publishing, an artist guide on social media, branding and music business followed by interaction and panel discussion.

ickling the funny bone comes naturally to Russell Peters, who makes people chuckle with his jokes on cultures, ethnicities and stereotypical accents. The Indo-Canadian stand-up comedy star says he has experienced racism and prejudice at a very young age.

“I experienced racism and prejudice at a very young age and it really affected me.

I couldn’t understand it, so I’ve spent most of my life exploring race and culture and our so-called differences,” Peters told IANS. Even though he jokes about everything, religion is something the funnyman will not touch.

“I won’t touch religion.

People are prepared to die for their religion, so what’s the point of going there?” he said.

Peters has drawn criticism that his humour banks on stereotypes. He stresses that it exists for a reason.

“Stereotypes exist for

one’s gonna get hurt real bad”.

He says his late father helped him shape his comedic voice.

“My dad was the funniest guy I ever met. He was dry and very British.

He also had a real love of comedy and the spoken and written word,” said the 48year-old.

Peters returns to perform in India in October as part of a return leg of his smash hit “Deported World Tour” with Zee Live.

He calls this tour more personal. “I talk about life as a middle-aged man with health issues, young children and struggling with relationships. There is, of course, my usual racial and cultural observations and other assorted silliness.”

Long-term future could be in Italy, says Smalling

Chris Smalling

Rome, Sep 6 (Agencies): Chris Smalling says he can see his long-term future in Italy if his seasonlong loan move from Manchester United to Roma is successful.

Smalling has joined the Serie A club until June 2020 after falling out of favour at Old Trafford following the £80m arrival of Harry Maguire.

The defender was officially presented as a Roma player at a press conference on Friday morning and suggested he could look to make the move permanent.

"This is an opportunity that came to me that I was very interested in, and I was very eager to come," he said.

"It happened ver y quickly and now I focus on the next game, getting up to speed with training in terms of the manager's

methods and then hopefully have a very good season. To be able to have the chance at a big club, and then if it prolongs and the club is happy then I can definitely see a longer-term future in Italy."

Smalling made 323 appearances for United since joining from Fulham nine years ago. He is the latest of a number of England internationals to move to Italy in recent years and admits he has always wanted to play abroad. "I've always had a desire deep down to experience this and have an opportunity to come to a big club who has got big aspirations," he added.

"I don't want to live my life with regrets and to be able to experience this and build on this journey, it's something I'm really looking forward to."

Stimac rues India’s loss to Oman

N EW D ELH I , S e p 6 (Agencies): India’s overreliance on forward Sunil Chhetri and the team’s inexperience cost them their Asian qualifying tie for the 2022 World Cup against Oman, coach Igor Stimac rued after the 2-1 loss on Thursday.

Udanta Singh hit the crossbar and Sandesh Jhingan’s header missed the mark before the talismanic Chhetri’s 24th-minute strike put the hosts ahead in the group E match in the east Indian city of Guwahati.

India dominated the first half but looked jaded in the second though they held on to their slender lead until the 82nd minute.

Rabia Alawi Al Mandhar then conjured up a brace to give Oman the three points and a dejected Stimac felt they could have killed off the contest in the first half itself.

“We’re very sad. We deserved more from this game,” the Croat, who was appointed India coach in May, said after the match.

“We could’ve punished

Igor Stimac

the Omani team heavily in the first half, we could have killed the game before the break, but we were not lucky there. You see all of our goals come from Sunil but he cannot score every time.”

I n d i a i s c u r r e n t ly ranked 103 in the world by FIFA and the cricket-mad country of 1.3 billion are yet to qualify for the World Cup finals.

Stimac said he was proud of the team’s display except in the last 20 minutes when they surrendered the lead.

“Our only mistake was running with the through ball too quick and losing the ball,” said the 51-year-old, who was part of the Croatia team who finished third

at the 1998 World Cup in France.

“When you are leading, you need to keep passing the ball, keeping the ball and making the opponent run and chase and not losing the ball after three seconds.

That was the difference. It’s about experience. My players were fit, in fact fitter than Oman, but they were more experienced.”

India face a tougher task in their next match when they take on Asian Cup champions Qatar on Tuesday.

Buenos Aires, Sep 6 (IANS): Diego Maradona has joined Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata as their new head coach as the club fights to avoid relegation from Argentina’s top division.

The 57-year-old agreed to a contract that runs until the end of the current Superliga Argentina season next May, according to a statement on the club’s official website, reports Xinhua news agency.

Maradona’s last coaching job was with Mexican second division side Dorados, with whom he parted ways in June due to health problems.

The 58-year-old, who was Argentina’s national team head coach from 2008 to 2010, has undergone successful knee and shoulder surgery in recent weeks, according to his lawyer Matias Morla.

Gimnasia are currently last in the 24-team Superliga Argentina standings with one win and four losses from five matches this season. The club has been searching for a new manager since Sunday, when Dario Ortiz quit after the team’s 1-0 loss to Argentinos Juniors.

Euro qualifier: Italy beat Armenia 3-1

Y ERE VA N , S e p 6 (Agencies): Italy recovered from an early shock as they came from behind to beat Armenia 3-1 in a Euro 2020 qualifier on Thursday, the hosts playing the entire second half with 10 men after goalscorer Aleksandre Karapetyan was sent off.

Karapetyan fired Armenia in front in the 13th minute of the Group J match but was dismissed in first-half stoppage time for a second yellow card in what seemed a very harsh decision.

Italy, who had levelled through Andrea Belotti in the 28th minute, wrapped up the match in the last 15 minutes with Lorenzo Pellegrini’s first goal for his country and another strike from Belotti.

It was anything but easy for Italy, however, as Armenia threatened with a series of counter-attacks before running out of gas towards the end.

Leaders Italy maintained their 100 percent record in the group with 15 points from five games while Finland, who have never qualified for the finals, stayed second with 12 after a 1-0 win over Greece thanks to a Teemu Pukki penalty.

third with seven while Armenia, 3-2 winners over Greece in their previous match, are fourth on six.

Greece, the 2004 champions, have four.

Armenia stunned the visitors when Tigran Barseghyan broke up an Italy attack, surged out of defence and slipped the ball to Karapetyan who scored with a low shot from the edge of the area.

Belotti levelled in the 28th minute, volleying home a cross from Emerson, one of two Brazilianborn players in their side alongside Jorginho Federico Bernardeschi and Belotti both clipped the woodwork before Karapetyan was given a second yellow card after a

challenge on Leonardo Bonucci.

Although Armenia closed ranks after the break, they launched some very threatening breaks and, in one, Kamo Hovhannisyan burst down the left touchline, running 70 metres before finding Henrikh Mkhitaryan whose shot was deflected wide.

With Mancini increasingly agitated on the touchline, Bonucci swung a high ball into the area and Pellegrini touched it into the net with a neat header in the 77th minute.

Three minutes later, Belotti turned his marker and his shot hit the foot of the post, struck goalkeeper Aram Airapetyan and ricocheted into the net.

High hopes from shooting at Tokyo Olympics: Rijiju New Delhi, Sep 6 (PTI): Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju on Friday lauded the Indian shooters for their unprecedented medal haul at the recentlyconcluded World Cup and hoped they would carry the stupendous form into next year’s Tokyo Olympics as well.

The Indian shooting team returned to the country on Thursday after claiming nine medals, including five golds, at the recently-concluded ISSF World Cup in Rio de Janeiro.

“The number of medals that our shooting team has won is commendable and I congratulate the entire team for the outstanding performance,” Rijiju told reporters after meeting the team here.

“We are going to set the record of highest number of athletes, in terms of participation, in shooting for Tokyo Olympics. We have already secured nine berths and I am told there is a possibility of 12 quota places.”

“We are now best in the world and I am looking forward to it that the talent that we have in shooting should reflect in the Olym-

One of the strongest disciplines from which we will have high hopes is shooting.”

The Sports Ministry had recently written to UK Secretary of Sport for shooting’s re-inclusion in the Birmingham Commonwealth Games.

Rijiju said, “India is one of the most important nations in the Commonwealth Games Federation and excluding shooting from 2022 has upset all of us.” “...the decision was taken in the CWG organising executive committee, there were no Indians to put up India’s case.

Rejoinder to appreciation by SASU on 2nd Sept 2019 While expressing gratitude to SASU, KTDSSU want to make it clear that Inspection was done for ensuring the functioning of schools and offices under its jurisdiction in both spirit and action. The union also informs SASU that, being an apex SUMI student body of two districts (KIPHIRE & TUENSANG), KTDSSU don't need permission from other organizations within jurisdiction and that our motive for inspection is to uphold the responsibility of ownership of land and ‘dignity of labour’ in a common land and nothing else.

Taking note of “peaceful co-existence”, KTDSSU want to remind SASU that the union has done nothing against ‘peace and co-existence’ rather KTDSSU was intolerant of poor services rendering to the public in the offices/ institutions within its jurisdiction. Hence, the Union calls on SASU to be part of the union’s movement that encourages “right to work & eat” policy.

Further the union wants to convey that, since its inception the union has never asked permission from any organizations to check illegal activities or practices taking place within jurisdiction.

“We will take it up through diplomatic channels also but since it is a sporting event, we would prefer that the CWG executive committee considers our case, or else we will be very upset and register our protest. I have already

T h e Wo r l d A n t i Doping Agency (WADA) suspended India’s only accredited laboratory for six months in a massive blow to the country’s antidoping programme.

Talking about the issue, Rijiju said: “WADA didn’t do the right thing by suspending NDTL. Being the chairman of NDTL, it is my responsibility. When I took over, I was told there were some issues but they were almost sorted and when they got sorted then they suspended it, so it is not right, we are appealing against it.”

The Minister also promised to provide all help to the shooters and improve the facilities at the Dr Karni Singh shooting range in the capital.

“Just recently I visited the Dr Karni Singh shooting range. It is one of the finest shooting ranges in the world but I found some normal facilities are not up to the mark and we will upgrade that. Also hostel facilities should come up fast,” he said.

The match was, by no means, as easy as the American’s 44-minute quarterfinals win over Qiang Wang.

In their only prior meeting, Williams and Andreescu faced off in the Rogers Cup final earlier last month, but the match ended abruptly after the American legend was forced to retire due to an upper back injury.
