NDA govt corruption free: Gehlot

Thaawar Chand Gehlot (NP) Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, JUN 9 (NPN): Union minister of Social Justice & Empowerment, Thaawar Chand Gehlot on Thursday said that the BJP-led NDA government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi Modi has “given a corruption-free government in the last two years and nobody can question the government on corruption”. Taking a dig at the previous UPA government under the Congress, he alleged that corruption was highest during the 10 years rule.

Addressing a mammoth gathering at Agri Expo site, Dimapur to mark NDA government’s second anniversary, Gehlot while highlighting the achievements of the government, lauded Modi for his statesmanship. He said Modi was able to take the GDP growth from 4.4% to 7.9% in the last two years.

ACAUT alleges CMO Kiphire of deducting salary DIMAPUR, JUN 9 (NPN): ACAUT media cell in a press note has claimed that it had evidence that the office of CMO, Kiphire allegedly “deducted and collected approximately Rs. 15 lakhs from its employee salaries to be distributed equally to four underground factions”.

ACAUT said it also came to know that “every government department in Kiphire district, as per the ongoing practice, is going to hand over their 24% deducted money to the 4 factions through the good office of a certain traditional body of the district”. It expressed shock that such a respected body was party to an “extortion racket”. If the DC was unaware of the racket, ACAUT said it appealed the latter to take cognizance of this matter and dismantle the racket. ACAUT, cautioned that if the CMO failed to return the deducted amount, it would file an FIR. On the issue of 24% extortion and demands, ACAUT said “most of the district administrative officers have lost their courage- thereby exposing almost 100000 lower-cadre government employees to antipeople elements and vested interest NGOs”. This has explained why Mokokchung police and the district administration were yet to arrest the NSCN (I-M) town commander even after a week of FIR being filed, ACAUT stated.

This is it!

“Let’s get this straight.

You and I voted for the s ame part y b u t th at does not make you indigenous.”

He said during UPA government regime, the country’s GDP growth was brought down to 4.4%, which was at 8.4% during NDA under Vajpayee. On development of North Eastern states, Gehlot was optimistic that the region would progress very fast under Modi. A separate ministry was created for the Northeastern states for development during Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s time and now Narendra Modi is continuing the development works in the Northeast, he added.

Gehlot also highlighted the various schemes launched by the NDA government during the last two years and how it had benefited crores of people in the country.

Also speaking at the programme, Nagaland chief minister, T.R. Zeliang termed Narendra Modi as the “game changer” for the North Eastern region. He said “people of Northeast were already looking up to the Prime Minister as the game changer as far as development of the region and emotional integration of the people with the mainland is concerned”.

The spectacular performance of the BJP-led alliance in Assam last month indicates that the people of northeast acknowledges the performance of the NDA Government, said Zeliang. “It appears that an era appears to be dawning under the NDA Government, where the problem of mainstreaming

the Northeast Region with the Mainland is slowly disappearing, and political and sentimental integration appears to be firming up.”

Lauding the various activities of the Prime Minister, Zeliang expressed confidence that Northeast would see a drastic change under the Modi’s leadership. It was under Modi’s direction that central leaders and officials have been regularly visiting the region, said Zeliang and further added that he was proud to have a Prime Minister who was convinced that all the States of the Union should be equally developed and expressed confidence that “his vision will materialise sooner than later.”

On unemployment, the chief minister said that the number of unemployed youth in the region was “not that large,” making it possible to tackle the problem effectively even within a time frame in the next three years.

On the electoral front, he said BJP and its NDA allies in the North East would need to work out a strategy of cooperation and adjustments through the newly formed North East Democratic Alliance (NEDA).

This would boost the number of seats in the next Lok Sabha election, he said, adding “at least two-third of the 25 Lok Sabha seats in NE would be bagged by BJP & its allies”.

While congratulating the BJP-led NDA government for completing two years, Zeliang

said it was a matter of satisfaction that so many positive changes have already taken place. He said that the NDA government had introduced numerous path-breaking reforms in the past two years, to revive the stagnant economy, and to take development process on the fast track and also introducing innovative antipoverty measures for the common people.

“All these have dispelled the atmosphere of pessimism that had pervaded the nation during the 10 years of UPA rule, and replaced them with that of hope and optimism,” he added.

“As politicians let us all remind ourselves that we have only limited time to perform and produce results. We will need to review our performances and set our sails towards the next elections. In this connection, we need to work out concrete and timebound action plan for creation of employment opportunities for our youth,” said the chief minister.

Zeliang said it was a matter of great satisfaction that BJP in Nagaland and NPF have been steady partners under the banner of the Democratic Alliance of Nagaland (DAN) since its very inception in 2003. While stating that the partnership has been going strong, he expressed confidence that it would continue with renewed vigour in the years to come.

Tripura to increase women police personnel The elite TSR battalions, trained for counter-insurgency operations, were raised in March 1984 to deal with terrorism. Seventy-five per cent of its personnel are from Tripura while the remaining are from across the country.

Currently TSR has 12 battalions, out of which nine battalions are India Reserve (IR) battalions.

“The IR battalions can be posted anywhere in the country as and when the Union Home Ministry ask the concerned state government,” a TSR official said, adding that certain battalions of specially-trained forces of many states are categorised as IR battalions.

The 554 police constables, whose passing out parade took place on Thursday, were given nine-month training at the KTD Singh Police Train-

ing Academy in Narsingarh, 15 kilometre from Agartala, and one-month anti-insurgency training at the Jungle Warfare Training Centre at Kachuchara in northern Tripura.

KTD Singh Police Training Academy Principal Sankar Debnath said women constables were also trained at the academy in 18 courses (outdoor and indoor) during a nine-month-long training period.

The training includes anti-insurgency, disaster management, community policing, yoga, law, civic management and human rights.

“We will start training Deputy Superintendent of Police-level officers soon at the academy. The Bureau of Police Research and Development has also chosen the academy for its Bharat Darshan programme,” Debnath said.

Ag a r t a l a , J u n 9 (IANS): The Tripura government will increase the number of women police personnel to at least 20 per cent of the total strength, Chief Minister Manik Sarkar said on Thursday.

“Currently, 13 per cent of the total police constables and 10 per cent of the total police force are women. Our government’s target is to raise the percentage to at least 20 in the next few years,” Sarkar said at the passing out parade of 554 newly-recruited police constables.

He said: “Many years ago, there were only two per cent women in the police force. The number of women police personnel and officers is being increased to deal with the rising crime against women and other related issues.”

The Tripura government has already set up seven

all-women police stations, and four more all-women police stations would be set up soon.

“Besides recruiting additional women police personnel and setting up of allwomen police stations, the state government has taken a series of steps to check crime against women,” said Sarkar, who also holds the Home portfolio.

He said: “Tripura State Rifles (TSR) has earned huge appreciation from many state governments and the Central government as the force has been deployed in a large number of states during elections, sports meets and other important events”.

“Another 500 troopers of TSR would be recruited soon to increase the strength of this counter-insurgency force,” the Chief Minister announced.

66 UALA cadres bid farewell to arms

Correspondent

Tura (Meghalaya), Jun 9: Signaling an era of peace and hope in Meghalaya’s Garo Hills, 66 militants of United A’chik Liberation Army (UALA) Thursday bade farewell to arms at a historic disbanding ceremony of the former militant organisation here.

The militants led by their Chairman Novembirth Marak surrendered before Chief Minister Mukul Sangma in the presence of Home Minister Roshan Warjri, the interlocutors and hosts of dignitaries at SMELC Building, Tura in West Garo Hills district.

UALA, formed in 2012, had responded to the overtures of State Government and, had signed a peace agreement with the Government on December 18, 2015 after a series of dialogues in the past one-and-a half year. General Secretary , Garo Baptist Convention, Rev. Janang R. Sangma, Pastor, Hawakhana Church, Rev. F. D. Sangma and Rev. Fr. Januarius S. Sangma were non-official interlocutors, while MBOSE Chairman and Commissioner & Secretary, Education, E. P. Kharbhih was the facilitator from Government side.

Chief Minister Mukul Sangma lauded the bold decision of the outfit saying that the programme would gener-

ate a lot of hope and should be taken as an opportunity to send a positive message to the others who are still in the jungle.

Reiterating that discrimination was the cause of frustration and loss of hope among the youth resulting in militancy, Sangma called for collective and concerted efforts of all concerned to complete turnaround in the system.

Sharing the concern of the UALA Chairman Novembirth Marak over negative remarks from certain quarters on Government’s rehabilitation package for militant outfits who give up arms, the Chief Minister replied to the skeptics saying the Government was moving ahead with complete clarity to achieve the shared objective of bringing lasting peace in the region.

He said the approach of the Government of providing such platform for peace should be adopted across the State as well as other states of North East as the problem of insurgency is a shared problem of the states in the region.

He said the approach of the government of providing such should be adopted across the State as well as other states of North East as the problem of insurgency is a shared problem of the states in the region.

The Chief Minister urged upon the cadres of the disbanded outfit never to lose hope and assured them that the Government would continue giving them handholding and guiding support.

Home Minister Roshan Warjri expressed her gratitude to all those who made it possible to bring UALA cadres back to the mainstream and called for continued support and counseling as they start their lives anew. “What lay behind you is not important, but the important thing is what is within you and what lies ahead of you” she told the homecoming cadres and congratulated them on their new journey towards social, economic, moral and spiritual upliftment.

Former Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) Chairman, who is now Legislator of Mawhati constituency, Julius K.Dorphang shared his past experiences, the peace he felt after coming overground and spoke words of encouragement to the militants of disbanded organization. Novembirth Marak highlighted the background of the organization, the objective for which it was formed and the decision taken by them to come and join the mainstream.

Cameras on NHs to catch speeding drivers: Gadkari

NEW DELHI, Jun 9 (PTI): With overspeeding accounting for over 62 per cent road accident deaths, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari Thursday said cameras will be installed on National Highways to check errant drivers who would face stricter penalties.

“We are hopeful that the new Motor Vehicle Act is passed in the upcoming session of Parliament as a Group of Ministers, headed by Transport Minister of Rajasthan is likely to submit its report on stricter penalties and after the Cabinet nod the same would be introduced in Parliament,” Mr Gadkari said addressing the media in New Delhi.

The road transport and highways minister, who has been vocal that 30 per cent of licences in India were “bogus”, said a study of 2015 accidents showed that “owners of regular licences were involved in 79 per cent of about 5 lakh road accidents in which 1.46 lakh people died.”

Drivers’ fault accounted for 77 per cent of total road accidents, Mr Gadkari said and stressed that India is the only country where driving licences are being issued liberally but the “government cannot allow it anymore”. “Under the proposed new Motor Bill, driving licences could be obtained only after a driver passes the test at the computerised centres and results will automatically be transmitted to concerned RTO through satellite and it would

Nitin Gadkari be mandatory for the RTO to issue license within 3 days else the officials would face penalty,” he said.

Around 20 computerised driving centres have been already set up in the country.

Likewise, to check errant drivers, cameras would be installed on highways to monitor the speed of the vehicles and strict penalties would be imposed on violators, he said.

Cities like Delhi already have them in place.

The minister said the report has found out that “drivers exceeding lawful speed or overspeeding accounted for a share of 62.2 per cent and 61 per cent of accidents caused or people killed due to drivers fault.

He said a National Road Safety Board was on the anvil and the Cabinet nod will be taken on it soon.

Stressing that the government is committed to ensuring safer travel, he said several important decisions were being taken to correct automo-

bile designs and it has been mandatory to ensure airbags in vehicles besides provision of air-conditioning in truck cabins.A committee is looking into design of helmets to make them light and within three months the design would be finalised, he said.

Besides people violating vehicle norms will face stricter penalties, the minister said.

The GoM to frame stricter penalties for Road Safety Bill is scheduled to meet in Dharmshala, Himachal Pradesh, on June 12 and would come up with its final recommendations soon, he said. The interim recommendations on Road Safety Bill by GoM provides for a stringent penalty of Rs. 100 crore and compulsorily recall for faulty designs and absence of necessary safety features in their vehicles. The new Road Safety Bill may also provide for a penalty of up to Rs. 5,000 on individuals for use of unauthorised components and other manufacturing or maintenance-related violations, such as in fog lights, pressure horns, extra lights, roof-top carriers and metallic protectors.

The dealers and vehicle body builders would face a fine of up to Rs. 1 lakh per vehicle for such offences. Besides, the component dealers would be fined up to Rs. 1 lakh for “selling non-approved critical safety components for vehicles”.

These proposed penal provisions form part of recommendations made by GoM.

Govt ready for probe in Mathura clashes: Rajnath Mathura, Jun 9 (PTI): Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh Thursday said the Centre was ready for a CBI probe into Mathura violence that claimed 29 lives, provided Uttar Pradesh government demands it.

“Thousands of people had grabbed land in Mathura and the state government was unaware. If state government demands a CBI probe, we are ready for it,” Singh said while addressing a rally in Mau in which he highlighted various schemes of the Narendra Modi government.

Earlier this week as well, Singh had dared the state government to recommend a CBI probe into the Mathura clashes.

Uttar Pradesh government has ordered a judicial probe into the Mathura violence. The probe will be conducted by a retired judge of Allahabad High Court and the inquiry committee has been asked to submit its report within two months.

Two police officers, were among the 29 people killed during the clashes between encroachers and police in Mathura last week.

The violence had claimed the lives of Superintendent of Police (City) Mukul Dwivedi and SHO Santosh Kumar.

Political parties had been demanding a judicial inquiry into the violence. BJP’s Mathura MP Hema Malini had demanded a CBI inquiry into the incident. Meanwhile, Union Minister Prakash Javedkar held the SP government responsible for the Mathura incident.

Seizure of Rs 570 cr in TN: CBI to file status report CHENNAI, Jun 9 (Agencies): The mystery shrouding currencies to the tune of Rs 570 crore found in 195 boxes inside three truck-mounted containers on May 13 and seized in Tirupur district of Tamil Nadu by election officials deepened further, as it now turns out that the trucks carried fake registration numbers and the cash transportation documents of RBI too are fake.

The Madras high court on Thursday directed the CBI to go into the issue and file a status report in the court in two weeks. Hearing a writ petition of DMK MP TKS Elangovan, Justice R Subbiah gave the interim direction to the central agency.

Also, the currency bundles had Axis Bank seal and tag though the money apparently belonged to the State Bank of India.

Earlier, senior advocate and former additional solicitorgeneral of India P Wilson, representing Elangovan, pointed

out that the cash had been carried in three trucks and one of them had a number plate belonging to a Toyota Innova vehicle.

Registration certificates of the two remaining trucks contained different names as their owners, but photograph was of the same person on both certificates.

“All the three trucks have Andhra Pradesh registration numbers. Out of the three vehicles, one truck bearing registration number AP13 X 5204 is the number of an Innova car belonging to one Jaffer Ahmed Khan. The vehicle number bearing registration number AP 13 X 8650 belongs to one Kaja Mohammed, and the one having number AP 13 X 5203 belongs to one Salim Mohammed. But, interestingly, the RC books of both the vehicles had the photograph of one person. It means owner of one truck is not a genuine person, or both vehicles stand in the name of fake persons,”

the affidavit of Elangovan read.

It all indicated transportation of illegal money, Wilson said, adding that the trucks had been stationed in Tirupur collectorate from May 14 to 16, before the Election Commission all of a sudden asking them to be moved to Coimbatore where the income tax department authorities would investigate the issue under the Income Tax Act. The transaction involving three containers without any proper documentation and through vehicles having bogus registration numbers and fake owners, besides false letters given by the SBI claiming that they had obtained permission from RBI Chennai when such a clearance was not given, clearly shows that the money had been used for hawala transactions and was probably from crime proceeds, it said.

“High level bank officials have conspired together and created forged documents with fake authorisation from RBI

Chennai in order to transport a huge sum of hawala money.

Thus, not only offences under the IPC are attracted, but also offences under the Prevention of Corruption Act get attracted,” it said, justifying probe by the CBI. As for the claim that the cash belonged to State Bank of India (SBI) and inter-departmental communications with regard to the sum was produced before authorities, Wilson said a letter dated May 6 did not have file or reference number.

Another letter dated May 10 written by branch manager of SBI’s specialised currency administration branch in Visakhapatnam made reference to a direction from the RBI Chennai.

“However, RBI Chennai has not given any such direction or permission for such cash remittances of Rs 570 crore,” the petition said, adding that the letters came into existence subsequent to the seizure of the trucks.

ground on a proposal by the latter for wider consultations on the selection of high court judges, among various other issues.

The government had suggested in the revised memorandum of procedure (MoP) that a high court chief justice consult all judges of the court along with the advocate general

ency in picking judges for the superior judiciary. But this and other suggestions didn’t find favour with the apex court collegium, which returned the revised MoP on May 27, as first reported by ET, suggesting changes.

Nobody can put the clock back.

The quicker they realise it the better,” he noted.

While there has been no official announcement so far, the airline has managed to eke out an operational profit of around Rs. 6-8 crore in the previous financial year.

“The fact that they have not made an operating loss speaks volumes,” Mr Raju said.

Confident that the national airline has the capability of flying high, the Minister said it is working in that direction and in a veiled reference to criticisms, emphasised that he does not like the idea of Air India “bashing”.

Indian Embassy in Kuwait advisory against fraudsters DUBAI, Jun 9 (PTI): The Indian Embassy in Kuwait has issued an advisory asking members of the Indian community in the country not to fall prey to calls of fraudsters, who claim to be Indian embassy officials and warn them of arrest or deportation.

The modus operandi of these gangs of fraudsters is to extort money from the victims by saying that the local authorities have initiated legal proceedings against them as they have submitted false information in their immigration papers,” according to the Indian Embassy in Kuwait.

“These fraudsters would then demand money to be transferred urgently to a lawyer/consultant’s account saying that this lawyer/consultant has been appointed by Indian Embassy to assist the victim in his legal proceedings, the Embassy said in a statement.

However, to avoid any delay due to bureaucratic procedures, fraudsters will ask the money to be transferred immediately to the account, assuring the victim at the same time that the money will be reimbursed to him/her later by Indian Embassy, it said.

According to the embassy, it is suspected that these fraudsters are using their hacking skills to access personal details of their targets and to off-guard their victims, they pretend as if they are Indian Embassy staff calling from the Embassy.

“The Embassy advises all members of Indian community in Kuwait not to fall prey to such fraudsters’ calls,” it said.

NEW DELHI, Jun 9 (PTI): Air India’s “books are so bad” that nobody will buy it even if the government wanted to sell off the national carrier, Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju said today.

Ruling out disinvestment in the carrier that has a debt of some Rs. 50,000 crore, Mr Raju at the same time made it plain that the taxpayers’ money cannot be committed “for eternity”.

“Its (Air India) books are so bad. I don’t think that even if it is offered, anybody would come for it,” he said.

Grappling with mounting debts and tough business conditions, Air India has been in the red since the merger of then Air India and Indian Airlines in 2007 and is staying afloat on a Rs. 30,000-crore bailout

package extended by the UPA government.

Asserting that unlike others, he would not like to get into “Air India bashing,” the minister also said that the carrier needs to function in a more cohesive manner to deliver on its turnaround goals.

“It is a nice airline. I like Air India but I can’t commit taxpayers’ money for eternity.

That is not done,” Mr Raju told Press Trust of India in an interview.

Buoyed by improving financial situation and high growth potential of the domestic aviation market, Air India is putting in plans to expand its fleet by another 100 aircraft in the next four years.

India using Pathankot attack to derail talks

Mexico City, Jun 9 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi Thursday left for home after wrapping up a brief visit to Mexico on the final leg of his five-nation tour, which also took him to the US and Afghanistan.

“Thank you Mexico. A new era in India-Mexico ties has begun and this relationship is going to benefit our people and the entire world,” Modi tweeted. “Five days, five countries! After a productive visit to Mexico, the last leg of his journey, PM departs for Delhi,” External Affairs Minister Vikas Swarup tweeted.

The tour, that began on June 4, saw Modi visiting Afghanistan, Qatar, Switzerland, the US and Mexico with an aim to bolster ties.

New Delhi, Jun 9 (Agencies): With India trying to increase its presence in the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea, cybersecurity experts have warned that Chinese hackers have set their eyes on the country’s aircraft carriers - INS Vikrant and INS Vikramaditya.

As per a report in a leading national daily, the Chinese hackers are closely following the movements of the Indian aircraft carriers, especially in the South China Sea. These hackers, claims report, are also attempting to crack cyber-security codes to extract confidential information regarding India’s military preparedness. The cybersecurity experts have also warned that these China-based hackers have also been targeting Tibetan exile groups in India, which Beijing views as a threat for past several years. Citing a sensational report from cybersecurity firm FireEye, the experts say that an advanced team of Chienese hackers has been zeroing in on vital Indian organisations to steal information related to Indo-China border disputes and Tibetan exile groups. The group termed as APT30 touted to be longest-running advanced threat groups, possibly tapped classified government networks and other networks inaccessible from a standard Internet connection, according to a report by FireEye. The Chinese hackers have set their eyes on the Southeast Asian region, with a focus on governmental, diplomatic, scientific and educational organisations, the report said.

ISLAMABAD, JUN 9 (PTI): Pakistan on Thursday accused India of using the Pathankot terror attack as an “excuse” to derail the bilateral dialogue process and said that talks are the best way forward to resolve outstanding issues, including “mutual concerns” related to terrorism.

Pakistan Prime Minister’s Advisor on foreign affairs Sartaj Aziz said that peaceful neighbourhood was part of the government’s policy.

He said Pakistan and India had agreed to start the dialogue in December 2015 when Indian foreign minister Sushma Swaraj visited Pakistan.

“But before the foreign secretaries could meet and finalise a schedule for resuming the Comprehensive Dialogue, the Pathankot incident of 2 January 2016 gave India an excuse to postpone the resumption of the dialogue,” he said.

“Pakistan believes that dialogue is the best way forward to resolve outstanding

issues, including mutual concerns related to terrorism,” he said.

He said Pakistan sent a joint investigation team to India and has already initiated the required investigation against those alleged to be involved.

The India-Pakistan talks were was stalled after the January 2 attack on Pathankot airbase in which seven Indian security personnel were killed.

India has accused Pakistanbased terror group Jaish-eMohammed for the attack and has linked the resumption of the dialogue process to the action taken by Pakistan against the group.

Aziz addressed the media here to highlight achievements of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ‘s government.

To a question, Aziz said that Pakistan would continue to support Kashmiris’ struggle for the right of self-determination at bilateral level in talks with India as well as at multilateral forums like the UN.

Aziz reiterated that US drone attack on May 21 which killed Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Mansour damaged the efforts for peace and reconciliation in Afghanistan.

“The recent drone attack in Balochistan in which the Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour was killed, has breached our sovereignty, caused a serious setback to the peace efforts and intensified hostilities in Afghanistan. The drone strike must, therefore, be condemned by all stakeholders,” he said. He said Pakistan’s relations with the US have improved since Sharif took over but the main issue affecting the ties is American indifference towards security needs of Pakistan. “In our interactions, we firmly conveyed to the US that maintaining effective nuclear deterrence is critical for Pakistan’s security and only Pakistan itself can determine how it should respond to the growing strategic and conventional imbalances in South Asia,” he said.

Modi’s pitch abroad

A

fter the Indo-US nuclear deal sealed in 2005 during the UPA regime under Dr Manmohan Singh with then US president George W.Bush; India’s stock as a major nuclear power rose and it was only befitting that it became a member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group(NSG). The NSG is a group of nuclear supplier countries that seeks to contribute to the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons through the implementation of two sets of Guidelines for nuclear exports and nuclear-related exports. NSG is a club of 48 countries dedicated to curbing nuclear arms proliferation by controlling the export and re-transfer of materials that could foster nuclear weapons development. India is a growing country with massive energy needs. It has set for itself an ambitious goal of sourcing 40% of its power from non-fossil sources and here is where nuclear energy comes into play. India will need latest technology and NSG membership will come in handy.

Though it got a one-time NSG waiver in 2008, the country needs constant access to global markets and a stable trading framework. India’s prime minister Narendra Modi has set a task for himself, to obtain NSG membership for India. His five-nation visits to Afghanistan, Qatar, Switzerland, US and Mexico, was to impress upon the nations to back India’s effort for membership to NSG. The nations have no objection to membership for India and so the takeaways do seem quite positive. Modi has been able to impress upon western nation about India’s non- military policy and programs. That is not a difficult task given the fact that India has always followed the path of non confrontation even with a belligerent Pakistan and a hostile China. Modi has been given the benefit of doubt and he has to prove that his government will not allow anti-minoritysm in any form. His critics are right when they say Modi is a good salesman who is well versed in marketing technology for public relations. The technology has been acquired by him through long experience. True, that his promise of ensuring Achhey Din is yet to be fully realised especially against the backdrop of having to curb price rise caused due to a variety of regional, national and international factors affecting the common people, especially the salaried ones.US president Barack Obama has officially backed India’s bid to join the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) on the ground that becoming a member would place India a stronger position to be a “good citizen” on proliferation related issues .

The deadline for members of the 34-nation group to object to India’s admission has expired without any of them raising objections. The Members of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), a key anti-proliferation grouping, have agreed to admit India. Under the ‘silent procedure’, India’s admission follows automatically. Outgoing US President Barak Obama is obviously is looking forward to India’s “imminent entry” into the MTCR when the two leaders address the media after their seventh bilateral meeting. Admission to the MTCR would open the way for India to buy high-end missile technology and also making more realistic its aspiration to buy state-of-the-art surveillance drones such as the U.S. Predator, made by General Atomics. If indeed, India is admitted to the NSG, it would raise Modi’s stocks not only at home but abroad and that will perhaps herald a big change.

Post-mortem 3rd August 2015 On bifurcation of framework agreement education department T

he issue of bifurcation of School Education has drawn my attention at a time when I am thinking what and what all about happening to this department. The demand appeared to be justified while judging at the angle of various statements given in the local dailies together with the problems that surface every now and then although I do not know the internal complicacies.

While the department of education is suppose to be the cleanest department it seems to have infested with various problems which appeared to be management problem. The best way to nurture quality education is privatising the set ups, however it has to provide free and compulsory education to the elementary stage which is a pro-poor policy. Not only that the government is providing lots of Schools to junior and senior secondary stages which is a boon to poor and rural people. Hence government schools are indispensable for poor and needy people and will continued in the coming time.

Very often people talk about poor result in government Schools and it is true as per our macro view without going deep into the classroom transaction. But we cannot expect much from these schools as all the lowest and poorest families sent their children here who cannot afford private schools education where fees are exorbitant. This is why government schools cannot easily shine in the result aspect and also in the disciplinary areas. On the other hand government

schools are compounded with various government programs and schemes such as mid day meal /free textbook / free uniform and so on, coming mostly from the ministry of human resources . Our state policy makers are on the other hand see these schemes in another perspective as a chance to divert fund to their personal treasury. All these factors has compounded and added the already confused department for which the department is always in the news for non release of salaries, free text books etc, etc and therefore full of ultimatums and strikes. In order to deliver efficient management of this department we need innovative measures so that poor children are not deprived of their due attention and share. Is there any other way round to understand one another’s desire and mind without resorting to strike and agitation? We don’t approve agitation as it confuses the children and very, very harmful. However it is further learnt that the issue is very old. It is the bounden responsibility of the government to analyse the practical aspects of various demands put forward before it and do what is possible in the interest of the stakeholders without keeping too long in abeyance. Otherwise, in the management point of view demand seems to be realistic and genuine. In management, if man power is available, it is always good to delegate power to different sets of people and provide a competitive atmosphere to the sets

Gen A. Maken remembered on June 9 Thewati war anniversary

I

n the year 1964, the federal government was about to sign a ceasefire agreement with the government of India. Late General Kaito, the then keya kilonser (defence minister) argued with federal government representative not to accept the framework of the ceasefire offered by the government of India, as it does not even include army zone for the federal government.

He argued that it was more a deception in the name of ceasefire. The representative of the federal government did not listen to him but rather told him that he will have to abide by their decision. Against the above setback, Gen. Kaito commanded then Lt. General Zuheto to go to Pakistan with a minimum of 1000 men, with upper limit of 2000 men. Secondly, he commanded then Adjt. Gen A. Maken to overrun the Indian army/Assam Rifles outpost at Thewati which was at the cross border to enable the crossover.

Under the able command of Adjt.Gen A Maken the Naga army reached Thewati on June 7 and on June 8, col. Zukiyi Zhimomi, Col. Hoshivi Jimomi, razapieu Sukhevi and myself went and spied over the Indian outpost. About 100 plus soldiers were stationed at Thewati. On June 9, 1964 at 4 a.m (zero hour) the camp was attacked and the whole of the army camp was destroyed along with its fuel depot, ration depot, arms and ammunition depot, trench motors, machine guns and everything with it. While the Naga army had a casualty of Col. Hoshivi Jimomi and four others, of the 100 plus Indian army only two persons were able to escape the rundown of the Indian army outpost at Thewati enabling the crossover which was carried out to oppose the ceasefire. It was one of the biggest confrontations in the history of Naga army guerrilla warfare successfully carried out under the able command of then Adjt.

.Hence bifurcation of the department seems to be really needed not only into two sections as demanded by the association but even into three / four sections as per the volume of messes of the department appeared on daily basis in the local dailies. If the employees of a department is not happy/no peace in their working places as stated in some papers earlier we can just imagine the end product. Here the implication and the application of quality education is really existed.

It is a shame that the teachers of various categories the most respected group of people in front of our children are always issuing ultimatum to its authority for non release of salaries for months together. But since this is a regular feature in the department, the authority seems to be so used to and does not feel a pinch even it appeared in the papers which are read by all. A responsible authority should be broad minded and avoid parochial ego. Because the same old concept of holding and handling so many things together to be branded as powerful is obsolete unless delivery mechanism is seen effective in the eye of public. If it is true that the two services entry point, cadre and academic session are different it is valid to be bifurcated as far as reason or justification is concerned.

With the report not public yet, Subramanian after some “soul searching” has decided to go public with its contents.

Sources tell us that the government is still studying the recommendations and will prepare a draft education policy, which will be put in the public domain for feedback.

But Subramanian has urged that panel’s report should be made public before finalising the policy.

Stating that the report is not a “top secret” document, but one of public interest and that in a democracy it is good to elicit public feedback before formulating a policy. Meanwhile the HRD minister has stated that report of the committee on the evolution of National Education Policy (NEP) will be made public stating that “it is the property of one lakh ten thousand villages over 5000 blocks, over 500 districts, over 20 states that have given it to us with the confidence that any recommendation that comes to us will be shared with them before it

is made a draft policy.”

Reading this article reminded me of the much hyped 3rd August Framework Agreement between the GoI and NSCN (IM) on the Naga political issue. The framework agreement is for all Nagas not only NSCN (IM). Therefore, if the document is not top secret and is for the future of all Nagas, it is time for the GoI or NSCN (IM) to place before lakhs of Nagas the 3rd August 2015 Framework Agreement to elicit public response before preparing the draft on the final settlement on the future of the Nagas.

In view of the secretive nature on the contents of the Framework Agreement between GoI and NSCN (IM) many speculative reports and write-ups has been appearing in all local dailies, like the recent article in Imphal times which the NSCN (IM) termed it as “comic speculation”. If it is not a comic speculation or top secret document only for GoI and NSCN (IM), then the document should be made public. GoI and NSCN (IM) may take their cue from the HRD ministers immediate response on the NEP. As stated in the news that “an informed public discussion, can provide valuable inputs for the final exercise to be undertaken for the settlement of the vexed Naga political issue.”

Rejoinder by commissioner & secretary SE & SCERT

T

he stand of the department and the views expressed by the minister for SE & SCERT on the demand for total bifurcation of higher secondary from secondary & elementary education by All Nagaland School Teachers’ Association, Nagaland Secondary Schools Field Officers’ Forum have been adequately covered by the local media. The department has, therefore, refrained from making any rejoinder on news items attributed to the agitating service associations/forum during the 3 days mass casual leave from 24th to 26th May, 2016, and the indefinite cease work from 1st to 4th June, 2016. However, in the news item entitled ‘Rejoinder to Minister, Education’ which appeared in some local papers on 02.06.2016, certain baseless allegations were made against the Minster, School Education & SCERT, Shri. Yitachu allegedly by some members of Core Committee, ANSTA & NSSFOF. The department, therefore, feels it necessary to come out with the following clarifications and factual position :i) The Minister in the meetings with members of ANSTA and NSSFOF on 25.05.2016 and with the representatives of NGHSSEA, ANGPTA, ANSEAOA, ANHTU, ANPTA, NSSATA & NRMSA on 28.05.2016 had make it very clear that the model of total bifurcation of class 11-12 from GHS, was not possible and not workable as it is :-

a) Not in the interest of the students b) Against the policy of composite school in the State and against the no stand alone policy of the Govt. of India c) A wasteful expenditure. ii) The Minister is alleged to have made false promises to different associations including the promise to give Maths and Science Teachers to private schools during the Teachers Day Celebration in 2014. Infact it is a vision statement from a Minister and cannot be said to be a false promise. During the course of the meetings with the different associations, the Minister had only expressed his stand on the model of bifurcation demanded by ANSTA & NSSFOF and left the decision to join or not to join the agitation to the various associations. The associations on their own decided to appeal to ANSTA & NSSFOF to suspend their agitation and to carry on with the normal duties in the interest of students. iii) The advertisement for recruitment of RMSA teachers was advertised in December, 2013, before Shri. Yitachu took over as Minister in-charge of School Education & SCERT but was finalized only in February, 2016.

Shri. Yitachu, therefore, cannot be blamed for the advertisement or the existence of alleged excess teachers in the department. iv) 30% of PGT posts is reserved for promotion from eligible Graduate and Primary teachers

with PG degree and B.Ed as per the service rules of 2002. The process for up-gradation of GTs and PTs to PGTs to man the newly up-graded GHS into GHSS was initiated earlier and completed during the time of Shri. Yitachu. v) The policy to freeze the posts falling vacant after retirement, promotion, death was taken by the Govt. in May, 2013, before Shri. Yitachu took charge of the Department. The policy is in place and the allegation that appointment was stopped against retirement vacancy in all schools except for some cases for himself and his friends is baseless. vi) Shri. Yitachu is asked as to how without his approval new Govt. schools could be established.

It is clarified that decisions to open new primary schools, upgrade primary schools into middle schools or upgrade middle schools into High Schools under SSA and RMSA were taken before he took charge of the department. No single school was opened or upgraded during his tenure as Parl. Secretary or Minister in-charge of School Education. On the other hand, under his initiatives, rationalization of schools exercise was carried out between November, 2015 and February, 2016 and 194 schools were merged into composite schools as a result of which the total number of Govt. schools in the State has been brought down to 2070 with 41 GHSS, 253 GHS, 626 GMS and 1150 GPS. Composite school policy brought out by Shri.

Yitachu has been appreciated by many. vii) The department admits that there are multiple problems in the department. However, these problems are creations of the department employees only. Shri.

Yitachu took a lot of pains to study and analyse the problems, and come out with some workable solutions.

There has been a lot of disputes and even court cases on the issue of Graduate seniority list. After proper examination and consultations, it was decided to determine seniority of a teacher a) On the basis of date of entry into service and b) Date of promotion to a particular grade.

When these two principles are applied it may so happen that a particular GT who entered service later and getting earlier promotion as AHM/HM may also get faster promotion as HM or SDEO viii) Contrary to the allegation that the Minister has not done anything to promote the eligible officers despite availability of vacancies, Shri. Yitachu has gone out of the way to give officiating promotions to 125 officers under elementary and secondary school cadre and 77 officers under higher secondary cadre between June, 2014 to May, 2016. Stagnation and non-filling up of vacancies in the higher grades are due to defective service rules which are under review.

DailyDevotion Nagaland state born out of political movement Meet the banking aspiration of the people Then What’s Next To Do? M I Everyone who asks receives… —Luke 11:10 Ask if you have not received. There is nothing more difficult than asking. We will have yearnings and desires for certain things, and even suffer as a result of their going unfulfilled, but not until we are at the limit of desperation will we ask. It is the sense of not being spiritually real that causes us to ask. Have you ever asked out of the depths of your total insufficiency and poverty? “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God…” (James 1:5), but be sure that you do lack wisdom before you ask. You cannot bring yourself to the point of spiritual reality anytime you choose. The best thing to do, once you realize you are not spiritually real, is to ask God for the Holy Spirit, basing your request on the promise of Jesus Christ (see Luke 11:13). The Holy Spirit is the one who makes everything that Jesus did for you real in your life.

“Everyone who asks receives….” This does not mean that you will not get if you do not ask, but it means that until you come to the point of asking, you will not receive from God (seeMatthew 5:45). To be able to receive means that you have to come into the relationship of a child of God, and then you comprehend and appreciate mentally, morally, and with spiritual understanding, that these things come from God. “If any of you lacks wisdom….” If you realize that you are lacking, it is because you have come in contact with spiritual reality— do not put the blinders of reason on again. The word ask actually means “beg.” Some people are poor enough to be interested in their poverty, and some of us are poor enough spiritually to show our interest.

Yet we will never receive if we ask with a certain result in mind, because we are asking out of our lust, not out of our poverty. A pauper does not ask out of any reason other than the completely hopeless and painful condition of his poverty. He is not ashamed to beg— blessed are the paupers in spirit (see Matthew 5:3).

Discipline weighs ounces, regret weighs tons. ~ Author Unknown

uch has been written for and against the signing of 16- point Agreement with the Government of India by the representatives of the Naga People’s delegation in 1960 and the Nagaland Nationalist Organisation (NNO) party and the Indian National Congress party in Nagaland on the Naga political issue.

It is a fact that the Nagaland State was born out of the political movement. We must also know the genesis of how Nagaland State came into being and how we are today, because of the political movement, disturbances erupted on a large scale in the year 1956. The interior parts of the Naga Hills witnessed large scale kidnapping, killings, destruction of granaries, burning and grouping of villages inflicting hunger, sickness, epidemics, miseries,tortures, and untold sufferings of innocent people. Seeing these situations, when the situation improved in the month of April, 1957, some of the Naga leaders, who had deep concern for the Naga people took initiatives and organized a preliminary meeting to salvage the Naga people with easily available tribes representatives and was held at the Western House Kohima on the 27th of July 1957. At the meeting, the following resolutions were passed, “Whereas the present situation in Naga country demands a change in the interest of all concerned, and whereas, it is essential to establish complete mutual understanding and unanimity amongst the Naga people as a whole, for that purpose we, the signatories below, at the request of the Naga public hereby issue this appeal, notice to all Nagas for the general meeting to be held at Kohima on and from 22nd August, 1957”.

In the meeting some concrete suggestions for a political settlement for the long drawn Naga problem through peaceful negotiation with the Government were discussed. Hence, all the Naga tribes were earnestly requested to choose their own representatives and send them to this conference to represent the views of their tribes with their respective resolutions in the matter of settling the Naga problem.

On the 22nd of August 1957 the Naga People’s Convention was held and the name “Naga People’s Convention” was coined. Dr. Imkongliba Ao was elected the President and Shri J.B. Jasokie was elected as Secretary of the

Convention. There the main discussion centred round the first resolution where it was resolved that the only answer to the Naga problem was satisfactory political settlement, but the words ‘within Indian Union’ was not added to it. Some members were against this, therefore, this was put to vote and an additional resolution was passed clarifying the first resolution to say that in view of the message of the Governor of Assam conveyed to the President of the Convention, the following clarification had been made in order to avoid any possible misinterpretation and as such the delegates were empowered to say that the ‘satisfactory political settlement’ mentioned in the first resolution meant a satisfactory political settlement within Indian Union. Another resolution was passed which said “If the Government expresses inability to take up the question of re-transfer of forests immediately, the delegates are empowered to agree to the immediate constitution of a separate administrative unit under the Central Government comprising the Naga Hills District of Assam and the Tuensang Frontier Division of NEFA without prejudice to our claim for the forests which will be again agitated at the time of entering into negotiation for a political settlement”. This supplementary resolution was passed in view of the extreme urgency of a change in the Administrative set up.

The first convention was followed by negotiation between the delegates and the Governor of Assam, Sayed Fazi Ali at Shillong and thereafter with Prime Minister, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru in New Delhi. On the 25th of September, 1957, the delegates met the Prime Minister who in turn accepted the proposal on behalf of the Government of India. The delegates also requested the Prime Minister that amnesty should be declared and the practices of grouping all the villages should be stopped. The Prime Minister agreed to accept the request for amnesty in respect of past offence but it would not apply to offences committed thereafter. The delegates met the Prime Minister again on the 26th of September, 1957, and impressed on the Prime Minister that separate administrative unit was only an interim measure.

n accordance to the demand and aspiration of the People of Tobu & Mopung Area for establishment of SBI branch at Tobu, the Eastern Naga Students’ Federation (ENSF) also extend unbending supports since the demand itself qualifies every criteria established under the Indian constitution or an act/policy passed by the parliament. Hence, the Federation appeals the State Government to immediately address the needs of banking aspiration from the remote area of Mon District without delay.

While agreeing with the statement of justification endorsed by various public organization of the region, The Federation also strongly opines that it is feasible and of utmost necessity to immediately set up SBI Branch at Tobu which covers Tobu ADC HQ, Muknyakshu SDO (civil) HQ & Mopung EAC HQ. Apart from those administrative conveniences, the entire populace of the region should also be made availed with banking facilities and avenues at their door step.

The Federation aspires that the state Government should ardently appeal the concern heads/agency whereby the meeting minute passed during the SLBC meeting dated 22th June 2015 should be materialized by this financial year end.

It should be noted that when all the policies of the central government is being targeted in streamlining all system through banks, the concern SBI incharge of the region should not hesitate but instead foster on with its expansionist minds and avenues to the far flung unreached and least privileged

citizen of the country.

The main reason for the involvement/support of the federation in setting up the bank is also to felicitate the school students in the region whereby only through bank, they could avail their scholarship. Thousands of students in the remotes eastern region had faced untold inconveniences for acquiring even their sanctioned scholarship under the ministry of minority affairs/tribal affair.

Today when an act of the parliament had clearly stated that every student should have

their personal bank account, the delay in providing such banking avenues by the concern agency itself contradict to the very existing law of the land.

Therefore, in order to bridge people’s aspiration to the well established law of the land, the federation earnestly appeals both the state government and the AGM,SBI, RBO Mokochung to sincerely uphold people’s demand by setting up the bank in the region without delay.

Honang M. Jessuhu, General Secretary ENSF

Appeal to all Christians

Sir,

My attention was drawn towards the apropos news item captioned “Miscreants Assault Pastor“ which appeared in your esteem local daily on June 04, 2016 and the subsequent releases

by Baptist Pastors Fellowship Dimapur and Rongmei Baptist Church Association Nagaland on the issue. The barbaric incident of unprovoked assault on a servant of God in a Christian state, probably by Christians even after identifying himself as a pastor is nothing but a satanic act which is to be seriously pondered upon by all the Christians and peace loving citizens of Nagaland. A Christian state where the servants of God are not safe? is the first question that comes in mind. Therefore, on behalf of the Lotha Baptist Ekhümkho Sanrhyutsü (The Lotha Baptist Churches Association) I express my serious concern and vehemently condemn the incident while also praying for Pastor Meingandai and wishing him a speedy recovery so that he will be able to take up the responsibility of shepherding the souls of his Church as well as his Association who are precious in the eyes of God. Meanwhile, it is my appeal to all Christians and church organizations to come forward and condemn the incident while also urging the law enforcing agent to leave no stone unturn to bring the culprits to book at an earlier possible time.

CBI questions Himachal CM in disproportionate assets case

New Delhi, Jun 9 (IANS): Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh was on Thursday questioned by the CBI for nearly seven hours in a disproportionate assets case, officials said.

He is likely to be questioned again on Friday regarding alleged acquisition of assets disproportionate to his known sources of income.

His wife Pratibha Singh and others are also named in the case.

“His wife Pratibha Singh, LIC (Life Insurance Corporation) agent Anand Chauhan and associate Chunni Lal will be summoned for interrogation soon,” a CBI official, who didn’t wish to be identified, told IANS. “If needed, he (Virbhadra Singh) will be summoned again tomorrow (Friday),” he added.

The senior Congress leader earlier reached the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) headquarters here around 11 a.m. and was questioned till 6 p.m.

The probe against the Chief Minister and his family members was initiated after he was accused of graft during his term as union steel minister from 2009 to 2011.

The octogenarian chief minister, who was questioned for the first time by the central agency, reached the national capital on Wednesday and will return to Shimla late

Virbhadra Singh

Friday. On April 5, the Delhi High Court asked Singh why he did not join the investigation in the disproportionate assets case registered against him by the CBI. “You have been named in the FIR. Why don’t you join the investigation and finish it. Ultimately, you have to join it,” Justice Pratibha Rani told Virbhadra Singh, who is protected from arrest or interrogation by an order of the Himachal Pradesh High Court.

In an oral observation, Justice Pratibha Rani said: “If you have intention to join the investigation, join it.”

But the court did not pass any order to ask Singh to join the probe by the CBI. The court was hearing his plea for quashing the first information report lodged against him by the central agency.

Additional Solicitor General P.S. Patwalia told

the court that the investigation in the case was “seriously held up”, and added that the central agency completed a dossier in the case and the “facts which have come up are very, very serious”.

The Himachal Pradesh High Court had, through an interim order on October 1, 2015, restrained the CBI from arresting or interrogating Virbhadra Singh or filing a charge sheet against him in the Rs.6 crore disproportionate assets case.

The CBI has urged the Delhi High Court to vacate the Himachal Pradesh High Court order, contending that the order was hampering investigation.

In November 2015, the Supreme Court transferred the disproportionate assets case against the Chief Minister to the Delhi High Court from the Himachal Pradesh High Court, saying the transfer was necessary “to protect the institution from embarrassment” and to “avoid further controversy”.

The apex court, however, did not pass any order to modify the Himachal Pradesh High Court order that restrained the CBI from arresting Singh. The CBI has challenged the order.

Virbhadra moved the Himachal Pradesh High Court following CBI searches at his residences in Delhi and Shimla on September 26 last year.

Jaya sacks defeated former ministers from party posts

CHENNAI, JUN 9 (Agencies): In a major purge post-poll, AIADMK general secretary and Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa on Wednesday restructured her party organization, removing from posts several former ministers, who were defeated in the assembly election.

Former electricity minister Natham R Viswanathan has been replaced by district mayor V Marutharaj as Dindigul secretary. While the AIADMK leader retained her once-trusted lieutenant O Panneerselvam as party treasurer, his son P Raveendranathkumar has been removed from the post of secretary of Theni district Ilaignar, IlamPengalPasarai (a forum of young men and women).

Panneerselvam’s rival in his home turf, Andipatti MLA S ThangaTamilselvan will now head the Theni district unit, a move seen as an attempt to dilute the clout of the OPS family in the region.

Jayalalithaa announced a revised list of 38 office bearers aimed at revitalising the party in the run-up to the civic poll, which is just months away. While she retained senior leader E Madhusoodanan as party presidium chairman, 10 former ministers were removed from key party posts.

They include C Ponnaiyan, P Palaniappan, Panruti S Ramachandran and P Mohan, and many organizing secretaries of the party.

Ramachandran, who was

DMDK presidium chairman, had resigned as MLA and quit the party to join AIADMK in February 2014. Gokula Indira, who was defeated in Anna Nagar constituency, has been replaced by Rajya Sabha MP VijilaSathyananth as women’s wing secretary.

Jayalalithaa changed secretaries in districts where her party suffered big losses and where in-fighting led to defeats of her candidates.

“The party suffered its worst setback in Chennai, an effect of the December deluge, losing ten seats to DMK. We have to strengthen our campaign here for the local body election,” said a senior leader, justifying the appointment of former slum clearance board chairman N Balanganga and former MLA V P Kalairajan as secretaries of the North Chennai south unit and South Chennai north unit, respectively.

District office bearers of Vellore, Tiruvannamalai and Villupuram in the northern belt have been changed in view of defeats of AIADMK candidates here. With the defeat of party candidates in all six constituencies in Kanyakumari district, former minister N Thalavaisundaram has been replaced by A Vijayakumar, elected in the recent RS polls, as district secretary. In the north, Ulundurpet MLA R Kumaraguru, who trounced DMDK leader Vijayakant in the assembly poll, has been rewarded with the post of Villupuram south district secretary.

Akalis, BJP distance themselves from ‘Udta Punjab’ row Chandigarh, Jun 9 (IANS): Punjab Deputy Chief Minister and Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Thursday asked the opposition to stop spreading canards about a ban on the release of “Udta Punjab” movie.

“It is absurd even to suggest a governmental intervention at this stage,” he said.

“Neither Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal nor I, nor anyone else at political or administrative level in the government or the party has seen the film.

“So how can we take a call on whether or not the film would affect the peaceful atmosphere in the state by hurting the sentiments of Punjabis through a vulgar and humiliating presentation of the present day Punjab and Punjabis,” Badal said in a statement here.

“For us, the film in question is one of the countless such films produced for commercial reasons in the country. Whether to allow its release or not is an issue between the producers and the CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification). The government has nothing to do with it,” Badal said.

“I am not surprised that there has been a strong reaction against the insults allegedly thrown at Punjab in the film by blackening the face of every Punjabi. If true, it is most painful and disgraceful,” he said.

7 UN endorse India’s policy on generic HIV& AIDS medicines

UNITED NATIONS, Jun 9 (IANS): India’s policy of allowing the manufacture of generic HIV/AIDS medicines for the global poor using the flexibilities in intellectual property laws has received an endorsement from the General Assembly and New Delhi has given an assurance it will continue to provide a pharmaceutical lifeline to the developing countries.

A Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS adopted Wednesday at the the General Assembly High Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS said that “access to safe, effective and affordable medicines” was a fundamental right and called on all countries to ensure that intellectual property rights provisions in trade agreements do not undermine the existing avenues of providing generic medicines. It urged them to make use of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIP) flexibilities “specifically geared to promoting access to and trade in medicines.”

More than 80 percent of the antiretroviral drugs for treating HIV/AIDS are supplied by the Indian pharmaceutical industry and they have helped save millions of lives, Health Minister J P Nadda told the meeting. To “ensure access to affordable medicines and commodity security,” he said, “India is committed to maintain the TRIPS flexibilities.”

CBI forms SIT to probe Agusta Westland, Mallya loan default

New Delhi, Jun 9 (Agencies): In a major development, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe into the alleged corruption in the AgustaWestland VVIP chopper bribery scam and the loan default by liquor baron Vijay Mallya. The CBI had earlier questioned former IAF

chief SP Tyagi in connection with its probe into bribery charges in the AgustaWestland VVIP chopper deal. As per CBI sources, Tyagi, who is accused of receiving kickbacks through middlemen from the Italian firm bidding to seal a deal with India regarding the supply of VVIP choppers, had reportedly visited Florence, Milan and Venice after retirement.

(PTI): The safety and stability of Asia- Pacific will depend to a great extent on India, a top American Senator has said, after Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for a strong Indo-US partnership to anchor peace in the region.

“The safety and stability of the Asia-Pacific region in particular will depend more and more on the safety and stability of India,” Senator John Cornyn said on Wednesday “And, here in the Senate, we have ample opportunity to work with our friends from India in order to guarantee that goal,” he said. The Republican Senator from Texas took to the Senate floor to describe Modi’s address to the joint session of the Congress earlier as a “historic day” in India-US ties. Modi’s comments speak volumes to his commitment to the US-India relationship, said Cornyn, who is Co-Chair of the Senate India Caucus, the only country-specific caucus in the US Senate. “When Modi spoke, he talked about his vision for his country’s future, including deepening and broadening the relationship with the US. That is really a welcome statement by the PM,” Cornyn said.

tum of punishment to the 24 convicts in the 2002 Gulberg Society massacre here which left killed 69 persons, including former Congress MP Ehsan Jafri, remained inconclusive on Thursday, and the court adjourned it again for Friday.

This is the second time after June 6 that the pronouncing of the sentence to the convicts has been put off with prosecution calling for strictest punishment to the guilty and defence counsel arguing for lighter sentence and an opportunity for them to reform.

The special SIT Court of Judge P.B. Desai directed that the convicts need not be physically present in the court on Friday and, if need be they could be presented through video conferencing from the Sabarmati Jail where they are lodged. During the arguments, the prosecution stuck to its stand that the convicts be awarded maximum sentence for the mass murder while defence counsel argued that the convicts, the 11 held guilty of murder, should not be given capital punishment.

DIMAPU R: Expressing appreciation to Nagaland governor for his attention to its memorandum on MGNREGA, the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has reiterated its demand to governor for appointing an impartial inquiry commission into the MGNREGA scheme.

I n a p r e s s r e l e a s e, NPCC president K. Therie alleged that MGNREGA funds in the state have continuously been siphoned off over the years and many of the villages have not received even one third of the funds drawn.

Stating that the state did not have Lok Ayukta despite its demand and the vigilance commission (state) moreover had plenty of pending cases, the NPCC said the government sanction to probe against government employees prior to vigilance commission action was also a major obstacle.

NPCC, therefore, demanded appointment of an impartial inquiry commission headed by a retired High Court Judge into MGNREGA scheme irregularities in the state.

that generally prevents manufacturing generic versions of medicines that are under patent. However, the so-called flexibilities allowed under TRIP allow countries to allow the making of cheap generic copies of medicines under some circumstances by issuing what are called compulsory licences. The enforcement measures for intellectual property rights should be should be interpreted in “a manner supportive of the right of member states to protect public health and, in particular, to promote access to medicines for all.” the declaration said.

The declaration also backed South-South cooperation in combating AIDS and set the goal of eradicating the disease by 2030. Pharmaceutical multinationals have been pressuring India against granting compulsory licences for generic medicines.

International humanitarian organisations like Doctors Without Borders or Medecins Sans Frontieres have waged a counter campaign for India to continue allowing Indian pharmaceutical companies to make the cheaper copies of drugs. Nadda said that India, “which faced the spectre of disastrous” AIDS epidemic 15 years ago has beaten it back successfully. AIDS deaths have been reduced by nearly 55 percent since 2007 and new HIV infections have come down by 66 percent since 2000, he added. About 1 million people affected by AIDS are currently on antiretroviral therapy, he said.

The move came in wake of the 20 per cent import tax failing to check cheaper imports, resulting in losses to domestic producers such as the state-run Steel Authority of India.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has been maintaining that one factor contributing to the huge stressed assets of state-run banks has been the difficulties in the steel sector, which has been vehemently complaining of dumping by China.

Das said.

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the country’s GDP grew at 7.6 per cent. In the fourth quarter of last fiscal, the economy grew at 7.9 per cent.

Mr Das said the growth in manufacturing, services and agriculture sectors during the last fiscal suggest that there has been an improvement in all these segments and will contribute to the overall growth in 2016-17 fiscal.

He said a good monsoon will add to a good agriculture and will also create a lot of rural demand.

The Secretary said reform processes and the policy initiatives, that have been taken in the last few months, will continue.

“We will see greater action with regards to various policy initiatives and with regard to reform measures going ahead,” he said.

New Delhi, Jun 9 (IANS): China on Thursday expressed serious concern over India starting an antidumping investigation against Chinese steel products, while New Delhi has already imposed anti-dumping duty on them.

India launched an antidumping investigation in April into hot-rolled steel coils imported from China, making for the fourth such probe against China this year, state-run Xinhua news agency reported, citing a Chinese commerce ministry statement.

Terming excess steel capacity as a “global challenge”, China said countries should unite to face up to it, rather than abuse trade remedy measures. The commerce ministry statement said China and India should “properly handle trade frictions”.

Mumbai, Jun 9 (PTI): Snapping its five-day winning spree against the American currency, the rupee on Thursday dropped 6 paise to close at 66.71 on fag-end dollar demand from banks and importers on the back of higher crude oil prices amidst fall in the domestic equities.

Oil prices extended gains to multi-month highs today following another drop in US supplies and the prospect of further disruptions to output from key producer Nigeria.

US benchmark West Texas Intermediate rose 32 cents, or 0.62 per cent, to $51.55 a barrel, its highest since July.

Brent gained 22 cents, or 0.42 per cent, to $52.73, its highest since October.

The rupee opened higher at 66.58 as against the last closing level of 66.65 per dollar at the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) Market and firmed up further to 66.55 on initial dollar selling from banks and exporters on the back of good foreign capital inflows.

The minister said at least 32 airports built by Airport Authority of India at a cost of at least Rs 3,000 crore over the years were lying “unconnected” and putting any restriction on market-driven fares may jeopardize government’s plan to start flight services to those airports.

Holding that putting a cap on air fares may have an adverse impact on growth of aviation sector, Raju said his ministry keeps a “continuous tab” on price movements to ensure that the rates are under check.

His comments come at a time when the government is discussing ways to address issues related to steep fluctuations in airfares, especially during peak seasons and natural calamities. Minister of state for civil aviation Mahesh Sharma last month had announced that capping of fares will be announced soon.

NEW DELHI, Jun 9 (PTI): Capping of airfares in the backdrop of passenger complaints of arbitrary tariff hikes was ruled out by the government on Thursday, which said that competition among the airlines will take care of the problem.

Civil aviation minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju said restricting the air fares will not make good business sense as it could also jeopardise the government’s regional connectivity plan as such a move may discourage airlines to fly on non-profitable routes.

He, however, said a slew of passenger-centric measures including “time-bound” grievance redressal mechanism would be unveiled very soon, emphasizing that India’s civil aviation market was the fastest growing in domestic passenger travel demand.

It is expected that the government was going to announce steps to rationalize the ticket cancellation charges and they are likely to be capped around

Mumbai, Jun 9 (PTI): Government is looking to tweak the investment norms for NIIF (National Investment and Infrastructure Fund) to allow investors to co-invest in this sovereign wealth fund as also in the individual projects.

The norms would be tweaked within the broad framework of the investment to take into account suggestions from the domestic and overseas investors, Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das said on Thursday.

Mr Das also expressed hope that the retail inflation would remain at 5 per cent this fiscal, in line with the RBI’s projection, and help India develop into a low-cost economy in terms of lower interest rates, transaction costs and logistics costs.

Speaking to reporters at an event here, Mr Das further said India’s economy is likely to grow at 8 per cent this year on account of good monsoon, passage of the GST Bill in Parliament and a slew of reforms being undertaken by the government.

“With a good monsoon which we expect this year, with the passage of GST, which also the government is very confident that it will happen in the monsoon session of the Parliament and the cumulative result of all reform measures being taken, this year we are looking at 8 per cent growth,”

“So far as taking a call on the NPAs or writing them off or cleaning the balance sheets are concerned, these have become a clear no-no because of the fear of being hounded even after retirement,” Assocham said.

In a growing economy where the total loan portfolio or the book size of the banks needs to grow, writing off Rs 12,000-14,000 crore bad loans in a year should not raise eyebrows and be treated as part of a normal business risks, it said.

“This is surely not to suggest to let go fraudsters, though much more clarity is needed as to who qualifies to be a wilful defaulter,” the statement said.

It may be mentioned that Nagaland Earthmovers dealership of JCB, Chabou & Co was the first dealers of JCD in the state. The organization provides all the required facilities for the JCB users.

New Delhi, Jun 9 (IANS): The government should empower the boards of the public sector banks and form an “asset revival bank” to deal with bad assets, Assocham said here on Thursday.

“While the SPV would set the rules of the game, the bank boards should be given powers to decide on the quantum of the waiver of compounding of interests which has led to some of the bad loans to many times over the principal amount,” it said in the statement.

The government needs to instil confidence in the bankers to take decisions on restructuring of loans in stressed sectors like steel, construction and power, it added.

ALMHULT, Jun 9 (PTI): With its first store in India set to open next year, Swedish furniture retailer IKEA will consider setting up a production unit in the country in order to fully tap the potential of “big middle class” consumers in the market.

The company, which has already purchased land in Hyderabad and Mumbai to start retail operations, is also looking to double sourcing of products for its global operations from India by 2020.

“It is important for us to set up our production (unit) in India,” IKEA group president and CEO Peter Agnefjall told PTI here.

Explaining the reasons for the need to have production facilities in India, he said: “On one hand that would support the growth of the economy and secondly, what we do is that we sell products, which are inexpensive. You can not distribute these inexpensive products long distances because if you do that then you would ruin the margin of the product.”

Agnefjall further said: “So it’s important for us to go for the local production. If we have the right technology, right raw materials which is existing there then we can combine with the knowledge of IKEA and turn into a fantastic product.

“Partly thanks to the ongoing liberalisation of India’s foreign direct investment (FDI) regime, FDI to India surged 37 percent from the launch of the ‘Make in India’ campaign in October 2014 to February 2016, with the computer software and automotive sectors attracting the bulk of this investment,” the report said.

“Manufacturing activity, though dampened by weak external demand, accelerated 9.3 per cent in the final quarter of Fiscal Year 15/16.

The bank said half a point down grade in the global growth was due to sluggish growth in advanced economies, stubbornly low commodity prices, weak global trade and diminishing capital flows.

“This sluggish growth underscores why it’s critically important for countries to pursue policies that will boost economic growth and improve the lives of those living in extreme poverty,” World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim said in a statement.

Missing British tourist found dead in Vietnam Hanoi, JUN 9 (IANS): A British tourist, missing in Vietnam’s Lao Cai province since June 4, was found dead on Thursday, officials said. The body of Aiden Shaw Webb, 23, was found 2,800 metres above sea level, according to a report by Vietnam’s state-run news agency (VNA).

Initial assessment by rescue teams showed that the British tourist had died around three days ago, Xinhua news agency reported. Webb and his girlfriend arrived in Lao Cai’s Sa Pa town on June 2. In the early morning of June 3, Webb went climbing while his girlfriend stayed at the hotel.

He started the journey in Sin Chai hamlet and followed the direction of the cable car system to Fansipan summit.

During his journey, Webb and his girlfriend maintained contact via phone. Webb told his girlfriend that he had sustained injuries to arms and legs.

Contact between Webb and his girlfriend was lost at 6.00 a.m. on June 4. After receiving information of the missing tourist, Sa Pa authorities sent rescue teams to the area.

However, Clinton said she was not sure when she’ll name a vice presidential choice.

MOGADISHU, JUN 9 (AFP): Shabaab fighters attacked an Ethiopian army base in central Somalia early on Thursday in the latest raid targeting foreign soldiers deployed as part of an African Union force in the country, rebels and local residents said.

The al-Qaeda linked militants attacked the base in Halgan in Hiran region, the group said in a statement distributed on its Telegram messaging channel. It claimed that fighters had killed “at least 43” Ethiopian soldiers, but this could

not be verified independently.

Residents in the area close to Halgan said the attack began when a vehicle driven by a suicide bomber exploded, after which jihadist gunmen fought their way into the base.

“There was a huge blast and then heavy exchange of gunfire started,” said Osman Adan, a nearby resident. Shabaab launched this style of “swarming” attack a year ago and have since overrun forward operating bases manned by Burundian troops in Lego in June, Ugandan troops in Janale in

With a military career in the Swedish Army beginning in1978, Major General Lodin most recently held the position of Director of Procurement and Logistics for the Swedish Armed Forces. Previous to this, he was the Deputy Director of the National Armaments for Sweden and Deputy Chief of Staff at the Swedish Armed Forces.

According to the Security Council mandate given in Resolution 307 of 1971, UNMOGIP observes and reports on ceasefire violations along and across the Line of Control and the working boundary between the nuclear-armed South Asian neighbours in Jammu and Kashmir, as well as reports developments that could lead to ceasefire violations.

Baghdad car bombings leave many dead Baghdad, Jun 9 (AGENCIES): Two separate attacks targeting Commercial Street and army checkpoint in Iraqi capital kill at least 22 and wound more than 70. At least 22 people have been killed and 70 wounded in two separate bombings in Baghdad. A car packed with explosives blew up in a commercial street of Baghdad al-Jadeeda (New Baghdad), an eastern district of the capital, killing at least 15 people and wounding more than 50, a police officer said.

A suicide car bomb also targeted a main army checkpoint in Taji, just north of Baghdad, killing seven soldiers and wounding more than 20 others, he said. Thursday’s attacks come amid an offensive by Iraqi forcesto dislodge Islamic State militants from Falluja, their stronghold just west of Baghdad.

Bernie Sanders under pressure to quit as Democrats look to unite Washington, Jun 9 (AGENCIES): Under mounting pressure from Democratic leaders to abandon his presidential campaign, Bernie Sanders returned home to Vermont on Wednesday following dispiriting losses to Hillary Clinton. He vowed to fight on for a political revolution but showed signs he would bow to the inevitable and bring his insurgent effort to a close.

For Sanders, as his remarkable White House bid runs out of next stops, the only question is when. Just as important for Sanders is how to keep his campaign alive in some form, by converting his newfound political currency into policies to change the Democratic Party, the Senate or even the country itself, on issues including income inequality and campaign finance reform.

To that end the senator was to travel to Washington on Thursday to meet with President Barack Obama and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and speak at a rally.

Obama is expected to endorse Clinton as soon as Thursday after his meeting with Sanders, and Reid is prepared to discuss with Sanders how the self-described democratic socialist might advance his goals back in the Senate.

Neither Clinton nor Republican Donald Trump had public events Wednesday, both

WASHINGTON, JUN 9 (IANS): Democratic Party’s presumptive presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said she would consider “the most qualified people” for the vice president’s position -- which would include women.

N ow t h a t s h e h a s clinched the party’s presidential nod, Clinton on Wednesday told CNN that she was turning her attention to selecting a runningmate ahead of the party’s convention in Philadelphia on July 25.

“I’m looking at the most qualified people, and that

In the interview, Clinton also said she plans to reach out to vanquished party rival Bernie Sanders’ supporters. Their unified opposition to Republican Party’s presumptive nominee Donald Trump will help bridge the party’s divides, she said.

“Now we may have approached it somewhat differently, but our goals are the same. And contrast that with Donald Trump, who set up a fake university, Trump University, that committed fraud on people,” Clinton said.

“As we reach out and we talk about what’s at stake in this election,” she said, adding “I really believe a lot of Senator Sanders’ supporters will join us in making sure that Donald Tr ump doesn’t get anywhere near the White House.” On Monday, Clinton clinched the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination, becoming the first woman in America’s 240-year history to be the presumptive nominee of a major US political party.

On Tuesday, the former first lady led the party primary in California with 56 per cent of the votes, according to results released after over 92 precincts partially reported on Wednesday morning.

preparing for the next big hurdle between themselves and the White House — a five-month head-to-head race to November. Clinton told The Associated Press in an interview, “I think it’s time that we move forward and unite the party and determine how we are going to defeat Donald Trump, which is our highest and most pressing challenge right now.”

She said of Sanders: “He has said that he’s certainly going to do everything he can to defeat Trump. I’m very much looking forward to working with him to do that.” Ahead of Thursday’s meetings, Sanders’ Democratic colleagues were growing increasingly outspoken in nudging him to wind down his campaign and throw his support behind Clin-

ton. However, most stopped short of calling on him to drop out right away.

“Let him make that decision. Give him time,” Vice President Joe Biden said when asked if it was time for Sanders to halt his effort. Biden was arranging calls with both Sanders and Clinton to discuss the race before making a public endorsement of his own. Sanders promised to continue his campaign to the last primary contest, in the District of Columbia next Tuesday. But about half his campaign staff is being laid off, two people familiar with the plans said Wednesday.

They spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly about the layoffs.

Sen Bob Casey of Pennsylvania said it was time for the party to unite, “the sooner the better,” and Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida said Sanders should “stand down.” Even Sen Jeff Merkley of Oregon, the one Senate Democrat to endorse Sanders, said in an interview Wednesday, “We have a nominee, that nominee is Hillary Clinton, congratulations to her for winning the Democratic primary.”

Budhia Singh – Born To Run to release in August

ctor Manoj Bajpayee starrer “Budhia S i n g h – B o r n To Run” will hit the screens on August 5.

Directed by Soumendra Padhi, “Budhia Singh – Born To Run” is a biopic about Budhia Singh, who ran 48 marathons — one of which was from Bhubhaneshwar to Puri, when he was a fiveyear-old, a statement said.

Produced by Viacom18 Motion Pictures and Code Red Film Productions, the film stars Tillotama Shome and Master Mayur.

Cate Blanchett to make broadway debut in Chekhov adaptation ‘The Present’

C

ate Blanchett has made acclaimed appearances on New York stages in four different productions, but never on Broadway. That will change later this year when the two-time Oscar winner makes her debut in The Present.

Written by Blanchett’s husband, Andrew Upton, the drama is a new adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s untitled first play. Blanchett will star with Richard Roxburgh and an allAustralian cast in the Sydney Theatre Company production, staged by Brooklyn director John Crowley.

The limited engagement is set for the early winter weeks of the 2016-2017 season, with a theatre and opening dates still to be announced. The STC production jumps to Broadway after a sell-out run in Sydney, Australia, last August.

The Present is based on the Chekhov play variously known as Platonov, Wild Honey, Fatherlessness and The Disinherited, which was only discovered some 16 years after the Russian writer’s death.

Upton’s adaptation is set post-Perestroika in the mid1990s at an old country house where friends gather to celebrate the birthday of the independent but compromised widow Anna Petrovna (Blanchett). At the center is the acerbic and witty Platonov (Roxburgh), with his wife, his former students and friends and their partners. Beyond their comfortable exterior is a mess of unfinished, unresolved relationships, fuelled by 20 years of denial, regret and thwarted desire.

Both Blanchett and Rox-

burgh will be making their Broadway debuts. They previously appeared together on the New York stage in the STC production of Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya, also adapted by Upton. Crowley’s Broadway directing credits include the Martin McDonagh plays The Pillowman and A Behanding in Spokane.

Blanchett — who was previously co-artistic director of STC alongside Upton from 2008 to 2012 — has also appeared in New York in STC productions of Hedda Gabler (opposite Hugo Weaving), A Streetcar Named Desire (with Joel Edgerton) and The Maids (co-starring with Isabelle Huppert).

She won the best actress Academy Award in 2014 for Blue Jasmine and best supporting actress honors in 2005 for The Aviator. Blanchett received her seventh Oscar nomination this year for her lead role in Carol.

The Present will be produced on Broadway by Stuart Thompson and STC.

wo new BBC virtual reality projects will receive their premiere at the Sheffield Doc Fest tomorrow.

Easter Rising: Voice of a Rebel, We Wait, and Home – A VR Spacewalk join earlier 360 degree work by the BBC. In a blog post Andy Conroy, Controller of BBC Research & Development, said BBC R&D’s Immersive & Interactive Content section led

by Graham Thomas has been researching the area for several years. Their work in Binaural Audio has been particularly successful and is paying dividends in the quality of audio experience we can create for Virtual Reality environments.

“Truly interactive VR video is in its infancy and can be expensive to create, but total or partial animation or CGI can be used very effectively and efficiently, while other production techniques may yet emerge or become more accessible over time. All of our true VR experiments seek to address different challenges that will provide invaluable insights for

the organisation now and in the future,” said Conroy.

Easter Rising explores how VR might create a completely new way for people to engage with the past – by living through a protagonist’s memories and perceiving events from their perspective. The project was built for the Oculus Rift and Gear VR headsets.

Home – A VR Spacewalk is a collaboration between BBC Science, BBC Learning, BBC Digital Storytelling and Rewind. It was created to help learn from some of the most advanced visual effects currently available in VR, combined with spatial audio, to explore its potential for factual and science content. The BBC is also launching a special 360-video, giving audiences a Queen’s eye view of Trooping the Colour – the annual ceremony performed by regiments of the British and Commonwealth armies – on BBC Taster today.

Strictly Come Dancing, Natural History and BBC News have previously been captured in 360 degree video.

tan Lee sure has packed a lot into his 93 years.

Not only did he co-create iconic characters such as Hulk and Spider-Man, but he’s also cameo-ed in numerous superhero movies such as Deadpool and Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Despite his advancing years, Stan Lee shows no signs of slowing down just yet, having recently filmed three Marvel cameos back-to-back.

As if that wasn’t impressive enough, the budding thespian has recently expanded his repertoire even further, venturing outside of the superhero genre to film a cameo for Kevin Smith’s upcoming horror/ comedy Yoga Hosers.

Smith’s latest film is the second instalment in his True North trilogy, following on from the R-rated body horror Tusk. Set within the same universe, Yoga Hosers follows two teenage yoga fanatics who work with Johnny Depp’s detective Guy Lapointe to stop, uh, sausage Nazis called Bratzis from taking over.

for itself by getting selected in India Got Talent held at Mumbai.

With a total cash prize of Rs. 3 lakhs for the winners of Voice of Nagaland season 3, the winner would also get featured in a single music video alongside renowned Naga artist Alobo Naga.

The finalists of the season would also get the chance to a touring performance at

ollywood starlet Alisa Khan, known for starring opposite Emraan Hashmi in a yet-to-be-released film, was seen roaming around aimlessly on the streets of Greater Kailash, after she was allegedly kicked out of her home.

It has been a riches to rags story for this model-turnedactor, straight from the glittery streets of Bollywood to the bylanes of Delhi. Alisa, a resident of Ghaziabad, had a lead role in the recently released film My Husband’s Wife. She has also been a part of many music videos. Khan will also be seen paired opposite Emran Hashmi in the film Aaina which is set to be released in August.

When asked about the reason for her condition, the model claimed her mother and brother had thrown her out of her house after she complained about her ex-boyfriend to the police. She had complained to

the cops after her ex-boyfriend made a sleazy video of their intimate moments and threatened to post it on the social media.

In fact, he even posted one such video on YouTube, which was taken down after she complained to the Mumbai Police.

According to Alisa, the incident didn’t go down well with her mother and brother who reportedly abandoned her.

Interestingly, Alisa reportedly belongs to the family of Wazir Ghazi-ud-din, who was the founder of the city of Ghaziabad.

Ronaldo predicts Portugal ‘will win big things’

Ronaldo talks with Portugal coach Fernando Santos as they step off the plane.

best efforts Portugal have only ever made one major final.

That was in 2000 when Greece stunned the footballing world by winning the title, beating Ronaldo’s Portugal 1-0 in the final in Lisbon.

Looking back on the defeat, the Real Madrid star thinks a similar run to the latter stages of a major tournament is on the horizon.

“That was a difficult moment, because losing a match, especially here in Portugal, against Greece - we knew we had a unique opportunity to become European champions,” Ronaldo told Uefa.com.

“But that’s a part of football. Football has taught me a lot of things: nothing is certain.

What is true today can be a lie tomorrow, a team can be very good one day and awful the next. So it’s all part of that.

“If it happened, it’s because God willed it and we have to think about the future: that the future of the national team will be positive and Portugal will win big things, like a European Championship or a World Cup.” Portugal failed to get through the group stages at the 2014 World Cup but they have a solid record at the European

Have conveyed ‘my decision’ on preferred partner for Rio: Sania

Sania Mirza New Delhi, Jun 9 (PTI): She was forced to partner with Leander Paes during the 2012 London Olympics but this time around world No. 1 doubles player Sania Mirza has “conveyed” her decision to AITA top brass about her preferred mixed doubles partner at the Rio Games.

“I have already spoken to AITA and conveyed my decision on the Olympic issue. They have a meeting on the 11th

(June) and let’s wait for that,” Sania said on Thursday.

Asked if she would divulge about what transpired during her discussions with AITA bosses, Sania said a curt no.

“No, I won’t.”

It’s no secret that Sania and Rohan Bopanna are likely to pair in mixed doubles, the category where India have the best chance of winning a medal.

Looking resplendent in a black evening gown, as soon as Sania entered the ceremony hall, Paes too dropped in.

For Mirza, the focus has now completely shifted to Wimbledon where she and Martian Hingis will be defending their women’s doubles title.

“Winning every tournament is a difficult thing. But it’s a pleasure being defending champions and there is pressure also. There was pressure first time also and it will be no different. We will take one match at a time, “ said the world No 1.

The duo had a 41-match

winning streak that was broken in February this year but Sania is confident that they will be able to keep the level up.

“Red clay is not our favourite surface and it was one bad day. But we both then picked up our game to keep up the level in mixed doubles,” she told during the CNN18’s event where she won the ‘Indian Sportsperson of the Year’ award.

Her autobiography will be hitting the market soon and she said that it is her story of guts and glory along with pleasures and pains of being at the top for such a long time.

Is there a possibility of seeing shades of Andre Agassi’s ‘Open’ in her book, she replied: “Andre told his story and I will be telling my story. Every story is unique and special in its own way. I have gone through a lot both on and off the court. It’s been a long journey and I owe it to family who have shared this with me. I hope my book inspires the aspiring tennis players in our country,” Sania concluded.

Paris, Jun 9 (Agencies): Bar and restaurants owners in France will not be allowed to set up TV screens outside their businesses during Euro 2016.

The move is aimed at improving security during the month-long tournament, with French authorities expecting fewer people to gather outside official fan zones if outdoor screens are banned.

Defoe commits his future to Sunderland London, Jun 9 (Agencies): Striker Jermain Defoe has signed a contract extension with Sunderland.

Defoe, who scored 18 goals in all competitions last season, has extended his current deal by another year, keeping him at the Stadium of Light until 2019.

The 33-year-old joined Sunderland from MLS side Toronto FC in 2014 in a swap deal with Jozy Altidore and has since gone on to score 22 goals in 53 appearances.

He was voted Supporters’ Player of the Year last month and finished as the third highest English goalscorer in the 2015-16 Premier League season, behind Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy.

Manager Sam Allardyce said: “Jermain is one of the greatest goal-scorers in the history of the Premier League and is a player that every manager would want to have in their team.

Konta suffers early exit at Nottingham Open Nottingham, Jun 9 (Agencies): Second seed Johanna Konta suffered a surprise defeat in the second round of the Nottingham Open. The British No 1’s preparations for Wimbledon met a setback as she was beaten 6-4 7-5 by China’s Zheng Saisai at the women’s warm-up tournament. This defeat came just a few days after Konta became the first British woman since Jo Durie in 1983 to break into the top 20 in the world, rising up to world No 18 in the latest WTA rankings. After her suc-

cessful five months, Konta has faltered in recent weeks, losing in the first round of the French Open before this latest defeat against Zheng.

Konta sent down four double faults as she struggled on her serve and could not prevent Zheng from closing out victory in the second set.

Her departure follows the first round exits of Heather Watson, Laura Robson and Naomi Broady, which leaves qualifier Tara Moore as the last remaining British player in the draw.

NE W D E L H I , J u n 9 (IANS): The all India Football Federation (AIFF) on Thursday said it has informed the sports ministry that the Futsal Association of India (FAI) is an unrecognised body and it is considering legal action against it, also asking its affiliated members not to cooperate with the league.

Futsal Association of India earlier launched a multinational league to develop the game, an improvised form of football played with five players per side on a smaller ground, indoor or outdoor.

The Premier Futsal League was launched in the country in May as a nationwide talent hunt to identify players for the inaugural season of a multinational league.

India Test skipper Virat Kohli was named the brand ambassador of the tournament.

The inaugural season was scheduled to be between July 15 to 24.

Portuguese football legend Luis Figo is the president of Premier Futsal and he visited India earlier to promote the game.

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has also informed its state associations of its plan to come up with a futsal league in the country.

“The AIFF is the governing body for all forms of football, including futsal, in India and we will be announcing our plans, in relation to futsal, in due course,” AIFF general secretary Kushal Das said in a letter addressed to state as-

sociations on Thursday.

“This is to bring to your notice that AIFF is not involved with the proposed Premier Futsal League, the news of launch of which has been making rounds in media in the recent past. The competition is neither sanctioned by AIFF nor is organised under the aegis of the AIFF.” “Further, the organising body - Futsal Association of India (FAI) is not a member or affiliated in any way with the AIFF, Asian Football Confederation (AFC) or FIFA ,” the letter added.

The secretar y also urged the state associations to inform affiliated clubs and the players to stay out of this league proposed by the Futsal Association of India.

“As members of AIFF, all state associations are to comply with the statutes and regulations of AIFF and their actions should be in compliance with the constitution of AIFF,” Das said.

The Indian Football Association (IFA), which is the governing body for football in West Bengal, has already informed the clubs and players associated with it.

“Yes we have received that letter and have taken it into consideration. IFA is doing its best to make sure there is no problem and we have issued a notice to all our affiliated members and stakeholders,” said Utpal Ganguly , president of IFA. Ganguly also said they have not been in contact with Futsal Association of India.

London, Jun 9 (Agencies): Former Liverpool defender Daniel Agger has announced his retirement from football at the age of 31.

The Denmark international centre-back made 232 appearances and scored 14 goals for the Reds after joining them from Brondby in 2006 and won the League Cup and Community Shield during his time at Anfield.

He was capped 75 times by his country, scoring 12 goals, and featured at the 2010 World Cup and 2012 European Championships.

At a news conference on Thursday, Agger said, “It’s been a tough decision but I am pulling the plug.”

“It has been difficult in recent years. The last twothree years I think I’ve been at an acceptable level. But acceptable is not good enough for me. I don’t want my level to fall any further and so it was time to stop,” He added on Twitter, “Thank you for your support.

A great experience. It’s sad but it’s the right decision to stop.”

Agger’s career began in 2004 at boyhood club Brondby before he moved to Liverpool, although his eight-year spell on Merseyside was hampered by injuries.

He returned to Brondby in 2014 - after turning down offers from other Premier League and European teams - saying he was “feeling the effects of playing regularly in a league that is as physically demanding as the Premier League”.

taurants and outside the Stade de France, the stadium where the tournament will begin on Friday.

Fan zones are typically in squares or parks near city centres, allowing supporters to watch a game on a big screen.

Extra security measures, including reinforced video surveillance, have been added to secure the fan zones.

Junior minister for sports Thierry Braillard said the official fan zones are the only outdoor public spaces where screens will be installed.

“We can’t accept unorganised gatherings because police forces don’t have the means to secure them,” he said. “And a live screening on a terrace means gathering around a screen.”

Bernard Marty, the head of France’s biggest hotel industry union (UMIH) in the area of Marseille - where England play Russia on Saturday - said he had received contradictory information from police.

“The government should coordinate better with its officials so we could figure out better what is going on,” Marty said. “Maybe they want to boost Marseille’s economy in the fan zone only, at the expense of all other retail traders who made investments.”

Asked if the move would spoil the popular party, Braillard said everything will be put in place to ensure fan zones will be “lively places”.

“It’s better to have just one very secured area than letting thousands of people without match tickets gather in disorganised fashion,” Braillard said.

Ronaldo, who could become the first player to score at four different European Championships, admits the tournament has a special place in his heart.

“European Championships and World Cups are always special competitions,” he said.

“The final stages are always beautiful moments, unforgettable moments in a player’s career, so this will be another European Championship on my CV. Obviously I’m happy about it and I also feel privileged to have been able to participate in many final tournaments.

“And evidently it’s a delicate moment, a special moment because anything can happen. I think Portugal are in a good run of form, we had a very positive qualification.”

Paris, Jun 9 (Agencies): Cristiano Ronaldo has predicted Portugal will one day win “big things” as he assesses his nation’s chances at Euro 2016.

Ronaldo scored twice as Portugal finished off their preparations for Euro 2016 with a thumping 7-0 home win over Estonia on Wednesday.

Portugal will face Iceland in their first match of Group F in France, with Austria and Hungary the other two teams in their group.

Coutinho hits hat-trick as Brazil rout Haiti ball straight to Alves, who took one touch before sending a cross into the box for Augusto to head home.

Brazil added a fourth after 59 minutes when Elias’ perfect throughball sent Gabriel racing away and he drilled a low effort past Placide into the far corner of the net. Lima was only on the pitch for five minutes before he claimed a fifth goal for Brazil, superbly heading home another Alves cross in the 67th minute.

And three minutes later, Haiti capitalised on a rare foray into the Brazil half when Alisson was forced into a save but could only deflect the ball

to Marcelin, who lashed home from close range.

Placide then made a brilliant save to turn Willian’s shot behind for a corner but not to be deterred Brazil made it six four minutes from time when Augusto latched onto a loose pass in the Haiti defence and finished with aplomb past Placide.

Coutinho got his hattrick with a stunning finish two minutes into stoppage time, rifling home with the last kick of the game.

In the final Group B games on Sunday, Brazil meet Peru in Foxborough and Haiti face Ecuador in New Jersey.

Peru survives Ecuador surge to earn 2-2 draw

Philippe Coutinho smashes the ball into the back of the net to give Brazil the lead against Haiti in Orlando.

Orlando, Jun 9 (Agencies): Philippe Coutinho hit a hat-trick as Brazil coasted to a 7-1 Copa America Group B victory over Haiti in Orlando.

Renato Augusto hit a brace for Dunga’s side on Wednesday night, while Gabriel and Lucas Lima also netted for the rampant Brazilians, with Haiti’s solitary reply coming from James Marcelin.

The defeat and Ecuador’s 2-2 draw with Peru in Arizona means that Haiti are the first team to be eliminated from this year’s tournament.

Romain Genevois was fortunate not to be sent off just

two minutes into the contest when he pulled back Coutinho after he had been put through on the goal.

Willian sent the resulting free-kick just over the crossbar and then Coutinho forced Johny Placide into a save as Haiti struggled to deal with Brazil’s movement.

Casemiro had a shot deflected narrowly wide before inevitably Brazil went ahead in the 14th minute through Coutinho.

The Liverpool midfielder picked the ball up on the left

and cut inside onto his right foot and sent a superb effort past Placide.

And it was Coutinho who doubled Brazil’s advantage after 29 minutes with the simplest of tap-ins. Dani Alves found Jonas, who played in an unmarked Coutinho in front of an empty net.

Reginald Goreux blasted a rare Haiti effort well wide of Alisson’s goal before Brazil made it three 10 minutes before the interval after a poor throw out from Placide. The Haiti goalkeeper threw the

COPA AMERICA

Peru struck twice early but Ecuador gathered themselves and rallied with two strikes of their own to force a 2-2 draw in the second Group B Copa America Centenario football match for both teams.

Christian Cueva scored in the fifth minute and Edison Flores in the 13th, both assisted by Paolo Guerrero here on Wednesday.

Guerrero was difficult to mark for Ecuador’s defence in the first half. Cueva’s turn with the ball sent defender Gabriel Achilier to the ground and freed the Peru attacker to place the ball past Ecuador goalkeeper Alexander Dominguez.

Peru looked to be in control when Flores scored but Ecuador battled back. Antonio Valencia chipped to Enner Valencia, who chested the ball down and slid the into the net to cut the lead in half in the 39th minute.

Ecuador’s momentum carried over into the second half.

In the 48th minute, Jefferson Montero completed a combination of passes by tapping the ball back to Miler Bolanos, who finished from close range to lock the score at 2-2.

Peru’s Raul Ruidaz had one last shot just before the final whistle but it went wide. Achilier was given a red card for his second yellow card offence.

Peru held on for a draw and with four points are in second place in the group behind Brazil on goal difference.

Ecuador came back from an 0-2 deficit in a Copa America match for the first time since 1983 against Argentina.

Ecuador is at third spot with two points. They take on Haiti on Sunday in East Rutherford. Peru meets Brazil in Foxborough the same night.

against her unseeded rival as she lost little sweat to pocket the first game.

In the second game, Jin tried to give a fight but the World No.8 used all her experience to finish off the tie in just 37 minutes.

In the quarters, Saina will face World No.2 Ratchanok Intanon, who beat Hong Kong’s Yip Pui Yin 21-7, 21-9 in the second round.

Srikanth, who slipped one rung in the Badminton World Federation (BWF) rankings, got a tough fight in the opening game but bounced back well to pocket it.

In the second game, the Guntur-born shuttler dominated the proceedings right from the start to win the match, which lasted for just 34 minutes. Srikanth will next take on South Korean qualifier Kwang Hee Heo in the quarters.

World No.1 Chen Long beat Malaysian Zulfadli Zulkiffli 21-17, 21-12 to set up a quarter-final clash with Ginting. Earlier in the day, India’s Sameer Verma and Tanvi Lad crashed out of the tournament after suffering contrasting defeats. While Sameer went down fighting to Indonesian Anthony Sinisu-

Sameer failed to keep the momentum going after winning the first game as he lost the next game only to make a comeback in the third but it was too late as the Indonesian used his experience to pocket the match in 53 minutes.

Tanvi tried hard to give Wang a fight in the opening game but the Chinese dominated the proceedings in the second to take the match away.

Federer made a winning return in Stuttgart S t u t t g a rt, J u n 9 (Agencies): Tennis great Roger Federer returned to action after injury with a hardfought win over youngster Taylor Fritz in round two of the Mercedes Cup in Stuttgart.

The top seed eventually prevailed 6-4 5-7 6-4 and has now won 1,071 matches in his career, to draw level with Ivan Lendl for second-most victories in the Open era behind Jimmy Connors (1,256).

The 34-year-old Federer, a 17-time Grand Slam champion, has endured an unusually injury-plagued 2016 and was playing his first match since 12 May, having been forced to sit out the French Open with a back injury.

His clash with Fritz was suspended due to rain on Wednesday, with Federer leading 4-3, and the Swiss went on to close out the first set when play resumed.

But the 18-year-old Fritz is a promising young American and broke Federer at the end of set two to level the match, successfully converting his fourth set point.

Set three was also tight but Federer managed to save the two break points he faced and converted his only break point opportunity, as Fritz blew a 40-15 lead when serving for 5-4, making four consecutive errors.

World No 3 Federer advances to face Florian Mayer in the quarter finals, as he looks to get matches under his belt ahead of his bid for an eighth singles title at Wimbledon.

“I got the feel of playing matches again,” said Federer.

“It was also good to see how

Roger Federer made it through a tough test to beat American teenager Taylor Fritz 6-4, 5-7, 6-4. the body reacted. The match was short but I felt good. No tension.”

“My energy level was up and down, it’s a good thing I found it again at the end. I was wondering where it went during some of the match. It just felt good to be back on the match court.”

Fritz was pleased with his display and said: “If I’d known I would take a set off Federer, I would have been pretty happy.

“I have great respect for Federer, but I also showed I was not afraid to test him by winning the second set and

trying to win the match. I hung in there.”

Also through to the last eight is French Open semifinalist Dominic Thiem, who won 7-6 7-6 after a testing battle with big-serving Aussie Sam Groth, who sent down 21 aces in a match which featured no breaks of serve.

Thiem will next square off against Mikhail Youzhny, after the Russian beat Sergiy Stakhovsky 6-3 7-6.

But former US Open champion Marin Cilic is out, having been defeated 7-6 7-5 by Czech veteran Radek Stepanek.

Zidane touches down in Mumbai to warm reception Mumbai, Jun 9 (PTI): French football legend Zinedine Zidane, on Thursday, touched down in India to a warm reception from a swarm of enthusiastic fans, who converged at the city’s international airport to greet one of the game’s all-time greats.
