India hits terror launch pads across LoC

NEW DELHI, SEP 29 (AGENCIES): In wake of the attack on an army base in Uri in Jammu & Kashmir, India has launched multiple surgical strikes across the Line of Control (LoC) in the state to prevent Pakistani terrorists who had “positioned themselves at launch pads with the aim to carry out strikes in Jammu and Kashmir and other metros,” the Indian army said on Thursday.

At a press conference, Director General of Military Operations (DGMO), Lt General Ranbir Singh, reported that the Indian Army conducted surgical strikes on terror launch pads at the LoC last night and the strikes were based on specific intelligence input of terror groups who were planning to infiltrate into India and carry out terror attacks.

Referring to the continuous infiltration from across the LoC in Jammu & Kashmir, Singh said, “This is reflected in the terror attacks in Poonch and Uri. Almost 20 attacks have been foiled this year. During these terror and infiltration attacks, we have recovered items including GPS.” Singh also said India had provided Pakistan with “fingerprints and DNA samples” after the terror attacks in Poonch and Uri on September 11 and 18 September. Pakistan was informed of the cross-border strike, the DGMO said. “I have spoken to the Pakistan DGMO and shared details of the at-

NEFIS flays DU’s decision to make hindi compulsory DIMAPUR, SEP 29 (NPN): North-East Forum for International Solidarity (NEFIS) has condemned the decision of the Delhi University (DU) to make Hindi compulsory in DU syllabus, pointing out that the new syllabus would put the students of the North-East under serious disadvantage vis-à-vis students of rest of the country.

In this regard, as a means to oppose the decision, the forum has decided to launch agitation.

Terming it as “another disgraceful attempt to discriminate students coming from different parts of the country”, NEFIS convenor Chinglen Khumukcham in a press note stated that DU this time, after several attempts, arbitrarily decided to make it mandatory “without issuing any notification”. It reminded of the 2013 attempt by DU to impose Hindi/Modern Indian Languages (MIL) on DU students, wherein the latter had to withdraw “due to militant campaign against it undertaken by NEFIS”.

NEFIS was apprehensive that compulsory imposition of Hindi would cause immense hardships for the students who belong to communities that do not speak Hindi. “This step amounts to nothing less than cultural chauvinism on part of the university administration directed against the communities from the North-East because most of them are not adept in the language,” NEFIS said

the attacks would not go unpunished.

Details of the strikes were announced following an urgent meeting of the cabinet committee on security called by the Indian prime minister.

Yesterday, the Islamabad SAARC summit was cancelled after India decided to boycott the summit.

Soon after, Bangladesh,

Afghanistan and Bhutan followed suit, expressing their inability to attend. India is also reviewing the Indus Water Treaty under which water of six rivers is shared between the two neighbours on the basis of an agreement.

India is seeking to isolate Pakistan at an international level following the military base attack.

tacks with him,” he said.

“It is India’s intention to maintain peace and tranquility.

But we cannot allow terrorists to operate along the LoC,” he added. “In line with Pakistan’s commitment made in 2004 to not allow terrorists to operate on its soil, we expect the Pakistan army to cooperate with us,” Singh further said.

At least two ceasefire violations along the LoC in Jammu & Kashmir were reported by the Indian army in the past 24 hours. The strikes

by India were in response to these violations from across the border.

According to reports, the Pakistani army has denied the strikes but said two of its soldiers were killed in firing

from across the border. The exchange of fire took place in the Bhimber, Hot Spring, Kel and Lipa sectors, and lasted for about six hours early today, the Pakistani military said in a statement.

Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Thursday “condemned” the action of Indian forces. The Indian Army also confirmed there had been shelling from the Pakistani side in Jammu & Kashmir’s Poonch district. No Indian casualties were reported in the shelling.

The attack comes just months after the attack, once again by Pakistani terrorists, on an air base in Pathankot, Punjab, in January this year.

India Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier pledged

DGMO Lt General Ranbir Singh said the strikes were launched on Wednesday night based on “very specific and credible information that some terrorist units had positioned themselves to infiltrate” into India.

The announcement followed a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who had vowed to avenge Uri in an earlier tweet.

The operation lasted from 12.30 am to 4.30 am, with the location being 500 metres to 2 km from the LoC on the Pakistani side, sources in the Indian Army said.

Seven terror launch pads were destroyed by the commandos of the Army Special Forces, who were paradropped into the Pakistani territory by ALH Dhruv choppers.

The surgical strikes were recorded on cameras with drones also recording footage.

Two Indian soldiers were injured from landmines during the surgical strikes. No immediate plans of another such operation for now.

The entire operation was monitored through the night

by Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, NSA Ajit Doval, Army Chief Gen. DS Suhag and other top officials.

The Pakistani Army has denied any surgical strike by India but has admitted that two of its soldiers were killed by Indian forces in cross-border firing in Kashmir earlier today.

Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has condemned the killing of two Pakistani soldiers. Sharif warned that Pakistan’s “intent for peaceful neighbourhood should not be mistaken as our weakness”.

The government had called an all-party meeting at 4 pm following the surgical strikes. Most opposition parties have welcomed India’s strike on Pakistan.

BAN, CCN back CCoFA demand DIMAPUR, SEP 29 (NPN): Business Association of Nagas (BAN) has affirmed support to the National Highway bandh call given by the Coordination Committee on Fuel Adulteration (CCoFA) if CBI inquiry was not instituted within 15 days to probe the fuel adulteration racket.

In a press release, BAN president Thungbemo Murry and general secretary Dr. Khekugha Muru appealed to all public and likeminded NGOs to support and be prepared to bear the challenges “in our quest for the Good Governance and fight against corruption.”

The association while appreciating ACAUT Nagaland for busting fuel adulteration depot expressed disappointment that the “state government led by Christian leaders” turned a blind eye to such open corruption.

It said no tangible result have been seen even three months after the racket was unearthed.

‘46% office goers in Kma overweight’ Correspondent

KOHIMA, SEP 29 (NPN): Over 46% of the office goers in Kohima were found to be overweight or obese, according to the department of health and family welfare (H&FW).

Speaking on the occasion of the World Heart Day (WHD) 2016, observed at Directorate of School Education, organized by the department of H&FW, on Thursday, the H&FW additional director, Dr. Lima Akum, said during the World Heart Day 2015 screening camp at secretariat complex and department of H&FW, it was found that 46% of office goers in Kohima were found overweight or obese, the main cause for heart disease.

Stressing on the theme “Power Your Life”, he said the theme seeks to make people understand what they could do to fuel their heart.

Dr. Akum said it was also found that in Nagaland 57% were tobacco users, 40% Alcohol consumption (men),

36% hypertension and 11.6 % suspected diabetes.

In the context of India as a whole, he said cardiovascular diseases (coronary heart disease, stroke and hypertension) contribute to 45 % of all non communicable deaths and out of every 1000 Indians, 159 have hypertensions and 37% have heart disease.

Dr. Akum pointed out was that at least 80% of the premature deaths (because of cardiovascular diseases) could be protected by controlling the four risk factors -- unhealthy diet, tobacco use, lack of physical activities and use of alcohol.

Also, speaking on the theme, H&FW medical officer, Dr. Aomeren Longkumer, said heart disease and stroke were the world’s leading cause of death claiming 17.3 million lives each year.

He said physical inactivity could contribute significantly to heart diseases as it could lead to unhealthy weight gain, diabetes and increased blood pressure.

Dr. Longkumer stated

that 30 minutes of moderate intensive activities five times a week could help prevent heart attack and stroke. He also advised people to avoid processed and pre-packaged foods, reduce sugar beverages and fruit juice.

The WHD observance programme was chaired by DoSE asst. Director, Chumpa, while assistant director Y. Khetoshe Yepthomi delivered greetings. Joint director school education (current incharge of HoD) Lienkhao Chongloi proposed vote of thanks.

The programme was attended by officers and staffs of the department, which was followed by free health check-up.

World Heart Day, an annual event which takes place on 29 September every year, was founded in 2000 to inform people around the globe that heart disease and stroke are the world’s leading causes of death, claiming 17.3 million lives each year and by 2030 this is expected to rise to 23 million.

Sumi, Lotha & Ao apex bodies not to review dissociation from Naga Hoho DIMAPUR, SEP 29 (NPN): Turning down a joint appeals by 25 legislators from the Ao, Sumi and Lotha tribes and also separate appeals by Ao and Sumi legislators; Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) at a meeting on September 29, 2016 of all its three constituent units (Ao, Sumi and Lotha) has firmly reiterated to stick to dissociation from Naga Hoho over the issue of Rongmei recognition as an indigenous tribe of Nagaland.

According to media cell of CNTC, the constituent units of the three apex tribal bodies after thorough deliberation over the state

CNTC members after the meeting on Thursday.

government’s approach and that of the Naga Hoho in forming any committee to review the Rongmei recognition issue; resolved that any issue pertaining to the three

tribes, especially with regard to recognition of Rongmei as indigenous tribe of Nagaland, “will be initiated only under the aegis of the CNTC and not separately”.

Nagaland Tribes Council slams CM’s statement

Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) chairman, media cell Theja Therieh has hit out at the statement made by Nagaland chief minister T.R.Zeliang at the NPF seminar/workshop held in Kohima and which appeared in the local newspapers. In his statement, Zeliang maintained that since the Rongmei recognition issue was in the court after a case was filed by Zeliang People’s Organisation(ZPO), it would not be appropriate top comment on it as it was sub judice.

Therieh said that by making the statement, Zeliang was “either shying away” from taking official responsibility to address the matter or was intending to “misguide the general public.”

He said it was quite understandable as to why the state government was trying to take shelter under the pretext of the writ petition. Therieh alleged that T.R. Zeliang in particular, wanted to keep the recognition alive on “the most contentious issue in public domain today”.

The NTC media cell chairman maintained

MALT seals SDEO office Mangkolemba

that the writ petition filed by the ZPO (native Zeliang people of the state) was clear that it was not a challenge on the home department notification issued on August 4,2012 which accorded recognition to Rongmei as indigenous tribe of Nagaland..

He said ZPO’s writ petition instead challenged the status given to Rongmeis as indigenous inhabitants and over which the Gauhati High Court issued interim orders restricting issuance of indigenous certificates to members of Rongmei community.

Therieh said that since the ZPO did not challenge the issue of recognition of Rongmei as indigenous tribe of Nagaland, the question of it being subjudice for discussion in public domain or amounting to interference in court procedures “does not arise”. He said that rather, it was up to the state government whether to retain recognition or to revoke the order giving recognition to Rongmeis as indigenous tribe of Nagaland.

4-lane road work to begin after Oct 15

DIMAPUR, SEP 29 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister, T.R. Zeliang on Thursday chaired a coordination meeting of the 4-lane road project (NH-29) with the departments of PWD (NH), Power, Police, chief secretary, DGP, GM NHIDCL and contractors.

PWD (W&H) commissioner & secretary, I. Himato Zhimomi said during the meeting, the contractor had informed that the 4-lane works would begin after October 15, on commencement of the dry season. In this regard, PWD has requested the public to extend cooperation and to bear with the inconveniences that would result from the construction works. Meanwhile, the chief minister while reviewing various issues, directed Power department to immediately shift power utilities in the affected areas of the 4-lane.

Mizoram to continue peace talks with terror outfit Aizawl, Sep 29 (IANS): The Mizoram government would continue to hold peace talks with the Manipur-based terror outfit -- Hmar People’s Convention-Democratic (HPC-D) and the second round of the bi-partite talks is scheduled on October 5, an official said here on Thursday.

The first round of talks between the government and the HPC-D was held on August 10.

“We would continue to hold talks with the HPC-D. The second round of talks between the state officials and the representatives of the outfit would be held on October 5 in Aizawl,” Mizoram Home Department Additional Secretary Lalbiakzama said.

He said: “We are hopeful that a positive outcome might emerge out of the talks.”

The official, however, refused to divulge the issues discussed at the first round.

An official of the Mizoram Home Department told IANS that the HPC-D delegation did not include cadres of the extremist outfit but six human rights activists and civilians from Mizoram and Manipur.

The negotiations between the state government

and the HPC-D reached a standoff in 2013 on the issue of extension of the period of suspension of operations.

A six-month ceasefire between the Mizoram government and the militant outfit expired on July 31, 2013.

After the talks broke down previously over suspension of operations against the terror group, a host of leaders of the outfit were arrested.

The Manipur based militant outfit of the Hmar tribals has been triggering intermittent violent activities in Mizoram since 1994 demanding a separate autonomous district council under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution by carving out areas adjoining southern Manipur, northern Mizoram and southern Assam.

On March 28, 2015, the HPC-D guerillas attcked a legislator’s convoy near Zokhawthlang village in north Mizoram, leaving three policemen dead and six others seriously wounded.

Mizoram is the first and only state in India which received Rs 182.45 crore from the central government in 2000-01 as “Peace Bonus” for keeping peace after decades of insurgency.

Guwahati, Sep 29 (PTI): Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi was today granted relief by a local court in a criminal defamation case filed against him by a RSS functionary.

Gandhi appeared as accused before the court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate Kamrup and was granted Personal Recognisance (PR) bond as he appeared personally and in deference to his status as a Member of Parliament, his lawyer Anshuman Bora told reporters outside the high security Court. “We had made a bail application for him but as Rahul Gandhi appeared in person the court allowed him to go on PR bond. The next date of hearing has been fixed for November 5”, Bora said.

Complainant ‘Bibhag Chanchalak’ of RSS, Anjan Bora’s, counsel Bijon Mahajan told journalists, “We did not oppose the bail application as per the complainant’s advice”.

Gandhi has to be present personally again on November 5 when the court will explain to him his offence. The complainant had filed a criminal defamation case against Gandhi that he had brought down the image of the RSS by saying he was not allowed by RSS members to enter Barpeta Satra, a 16th century Vaishnavite monastery, in Assam on December 12, 2015.

CJM Sanjoy Hazarika in his August 6 order had stated, “The statement of Rahul Gandhi so published in dailies as well as in media appears to be defamatory in nature “And, therefore, the complainant prima facie fulfils the ingredients of Section 499

Border villagers asked to shift to safer places

government and political machinery in an emergency mode, an official spokesman said in Chandigarh.

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh spoke to Badal over telephone today to request him to immediately start the process of evacuation of the people residing in the villages falling within 10 kms of the International Border in view of the escalating situation, the spokesman said.

Badal has directed the Chief Secretary and DGP to ask the concerned Deputy Commissioners (DCs) and Senior Superintendents of Police (SSPs) to oversee the entire evacuation process in the border districts of Ferozepur, Fazilka, Amritsar, Taran Tarn, Gurdaspur and Pathankot.

Border villagers migrating after government asked people to vacate their villages The Punjab Chief Minisfalling in 10 km range of international border with Pakistan as a precautionary measure following Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surgical strikes in PoK, near Attari on Thursday. (PTI) JAMMU/CHANDIGARH, SEP 29 (PTI): People living within 10 kms of the border with Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab have been asked to shift to safer places and schools ordered to be shut till further notice in the wake of surgical strike carried out by the Indian Army across the Line of Control (LoC).

The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Beating Retreatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ceremony at Attari-Wagah border in Amritsar in Punjab has also been closed for public today, officials said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have asked border villagers living along IB and LoC to shift to safer area as a precautionary measure,â&#x20AC;? Deputy Commissioner, Jammu, Simrandeep Singh told PTI.

1.05 billion Aadhar cards issued: UIDAI NEW DELHI, SEP 29 (IANS): With 1.05 billion Aadhar biometric ID cards issued till date, the government and regulator are ahead of the curve in the use of IT to set up a national digital payments infrastructure, a senior official has said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the Aadhar Act passed by parliament, being notified earlier this month, the challenge now is of enrolling the remaining 20 crore people, who are still out of the Unique ID (UID) system... people mostly in difficult to access, remote areas,â&#x20AC;? Chairman Unique Identification Authority (UIDAI) J. Satyanarayana said via videoconference, addressing an event on Wednesday evening, organised here by the Centre for Digital Financial Inclusion (CDFI). â&#x20AC;&#x153;The second challenge is of activating systems to keep these 1 billion-plus data updated, as required in two diverse time-cycles of five and 15 years. And the other big challenge is how to promote the use of Aadhar,â&#x20AC;? he added.

Describing developments in this area as being â&#x20AC;&#x153;revolutionaryâ&#x20AC;? in the sense of â&#x20AC;&#x153;momentous changeâ&#x20AC;?, the government said dynamic changes were accelerating transformation which, for the first time in India, was being orchestrated by government and the regulator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the first time, what is accelerating transformation in India are the two agents -- government and regulator,â&#x20AC;? Secretary Ministry of Electronic and Information Technology (MeitY) Aruna Sundararajan said while addressing the gathering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is driving this change ... innovation and disruption, and the technology initiatives of the government are way ahead. Today government and regulator are ahead of the curve,â&#x20AC;? she said.

All people living within 7 to 8 kms of India-Pak border have been asked to move to safer areas and schools in 10 kms area to be ordered to close down till further notice, he said.

These directions have been passed on to people living along IB in Jammu, Samba and Kathua districts and along LOC in Rajouri and Poonch, officials said.

In some areas of R S Pura, the movement of the border residents to safer places has already begun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have passed directions to them to move to safer places and some of them have started to move to the houses of their relatives in safer places,â&#x20AC;? a Police officer said.

Army has started evacuating people living in the adjoining areas in Noushera belt of Rajouri anticipation of a possible retaliation by Pakistani troops, officials said.

The surgical strike at the terror launch pads was carried out by the Indian Army about 2-3 kms across the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir.

In Punjab too, people residing in villages within 10 kms of the International Border were asked to shift to safer places. Six districts of the state share border with Pakistan.

The schools in the border areas have also been asked to remain shut until further orders, they said.

Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal has put the entire

ter directed the DCs to identify suitable locations for setting up camps and ensure that none of the residents being evacuated was put to any sort of inconvenience, the spokesman said.

Badal also personally spoke to the Cabinet Ministers and MLAs concerned to camp in these border districts and keep close liaison with the district administration to ensure safe movement of residents.

He also directed the Chief Secretary to immediately release Rs one crore each to all the Deputy Commissioners of six border districts to meet any exigency.

Meanwhile, Amritsar Deputy Commissioner Varun Roojam said border residents in Amritsar district have been asked to remain vigilant and prepare for any eventuality.

BSF puts all border units along IB on high alert NEW DELHI, SEP 29 (PTI): The BSF has put all its units along the International Border on â&#x20AC;&#x153;high alertâ&#x20AC;? in the wake of the surgical strikes by India on terror launch pads across the LoC last night.

Officials said the Border Security Force (BSF) headquarters here has issued orders to all its units along IB in Jammu, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat to step up vigil and bolster their numbers at the posts by bringing in all personnel who are in the reserve. In order to ensure civilian safety, they said, members of the public will not be allowed today to witness the Attari-Wagah retreat ceremony from the stands right next to the designated border pillar in Punjab.

The officials said BSF has also restricted all civilian movement along borders with Pakistan.

The border guarding force, they said, has also been asked by the Centre to provide manpower to local administration for helping in evacuating people from border villages to safer locations. Officials said border units have been asked to undertake special patrols and conduct ambushes. The force has also been asked to augment the number of personnel and officers who work under the operational command of the Army at the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir.

5 BAN, CCN Need for youth to have sense back CCoFA of history: Ansari in Nigeria demand (From p-1) BAN also warned the politicians to refrain from patronizing a few non locals against entire Nagas public for their selfish interest as in the case of fuel adulteration.

It reminded the state government that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Corruption without remorse is the pinnacle of any corrupted system, and reminds that the boldness and level of corruption in Nagaland can shame autocracyâ&#x20AC;?.

Meanwhile, the association demanded that state government immediately accept the demand made by the CCoFA. CCN: Concerned Citizens of Nagaland (CCN) has extended its support to the Coordination Committee on Fuel Adulteration (CCoFA) demand for CBI probe into the fuel adulteration racket.

In a press note, CCN media cell said it was aghast to note that the citizens still needed to beg when â&#x20AC;&#x153;it should be citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right without having to appeal, if it was a state where good governance, law and order prevails in tune.â&#x20AC;?

It made known that CCoFAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demand for CBI probe was the demand of every right thinking citizen of Nagaland.

CCN opined that CBI was required in this case, to deliver free and fair justice.

It also appealed to the Government to respect the citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; joint demand without having the need to let its subject suffer for justice, saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;Justice sought by heavy demand is first sign of Injusticeâ&#x20AC;?.

Vice President M Hamid Ansari address the people of Indian community, at Lagos in Nigeria, on Wednesday. (PTI) LAGOS, SEP 29 (PTI): Invoking Mahatma Gandhiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s views on communal harmony, Vice President Hamid Ansari today told Nigerian students here that Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Constitution comprehensively defined secularism as separation of religion from politics and the state.

Delivering a lecture on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Legacy of Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Movementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at the University of Lagos, he said from its early days, the nationalist movement was committed to secularism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Secularism was defined in a comprehensive manner which meant the separation of religion from politics and the state, the treatment of religion as a private matter for the individual, state neutrality towards or equal respect for all religions, absence of discrimination between followers of different religions, and active opposition to communalism,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gandhi expressed it succinctly in 1942: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Religion is a personal matter which should have no place in politicsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? he

said. Yet the dark forces of communalism were powerful and led to the partition of India in 1947, he rued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That traumatic event resulted in a wave of communal carnage. Despite it, the strong secular commitment of the national movement enabled independent India to make secularism a basic pillar of its Constitution, as also of its state and society,â&#x20AC;? he said.

He stressed on the need for youths to have a sense of history and know that the environment that encourages their aspirations was built on the sacrifice and toil of others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was this tradition which is reflected in the Indian Constitution. It belied the view that democracy and civil liberties would not survive in a society so divided by language, religion, caste and culture and in the absence of a minimum of prosperity, economic development and literacy of the developed worldâ&#x20AC;?. He said, Gandhiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political strategy inspired many.

Bansalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; suicide: NHRC notice to Scarlett case: Mother writes to PM, wants reinvestigation CBI over content of suicide notes

NEW DELHI, SEP 29 (PTI): National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has sent a notice to CBI and asked it to file an action taken report within three days over contents of purported suicide notes of a tainted top official and his son who alleged â&#x20AC;&#x153;harassmentâ&#x20AC;? by agency officials.

Former Corporate Affairs Director General BK Bansal and his son Yogesh had hanged themselves on September 27, two months after the bureaucratâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife Satyabala and daughter Neha had committed suicide. In a statement issued today, the Commission expressed â&#x20AC;&#x153;deep anguish and shockâ&#x20AC;? and said it has taken suo motu cognisance of media reports that â&#x20AC;&#x153;mental and physical tortureâ&#x20AC;? by some CBI officers during a probe in a corruption case led Bansal and his

family to commit suicide. In the suicide note, Bansal has alleged that a CBI DIG, two women officers, and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fatâ&#x20AC;? havildar of the agency had â&#x20AC;&#x153;torturedâ&#x20AC;? his wife and daughter after which they ended their lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Commission has issued the notice to the Director of the CBI asking to share the copy of suicide notes with it and sought an action taken report on the allegations made therein within 72 hours, including the names of the delinquent public servants,â&#x20AC;? the statement said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has also been asked to give the name of the havildar/head constable whose name is not mentioned in the suicide notes,â&#x20AC;? it said.

Taking serious view of the alleged illegalities and human rights violation by the CBI, the Commission observed

that the police are supposed to investigate the offences as per law and in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;human rightsfriendly way.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They cannot be allowed to resort to physical assault, mental and physical torture of an alleged offender or his family members. It is supposed to be a protector and defender of human rights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Therefore, it fully endorses the reported statement made by B K Bansal in the suicide note to the effect that even if he was at fault in the case, why were his wife and daughter pushed to suicide,â&#x20AC;? the NHRC said.

PANAJI, SEP 29 (PTI): British teenager Scarlett Keelingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother Fiona Mackeown has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi requesting his intervention in the case of death of her daughter in Goa and has sought reinvestigation by setting up a SIT. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The local fishermen informed me (then that) she was murdered by a drug mafia in Goa, but as this drug mafia had strong connections with local police and politicians, it would be pointless for me to approach the criminal justice system,â&#x20AC;? Fiona said in the letter to the PM, which she made public during a press conference today.

Goa Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s court had last week acquitted two men who were charged with drugging and leaving Scarlett to die on Anjuna beach on February 18, 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Upto now, I refused to believe that the local fishermen were right, and placed my trust in the system,â&#x20AC;? the mother said seeking PMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intervention in the matter.

She also said that she needs to know who â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;killedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; her daughter, if the two accused are not guilty.

ithout meaning any offence or motive or even defaming investigating agencies, be it police CIDs, CBI, Vigilance Cells or other intelligence agencies etc, there is a great deal of truth in serious allegations of misconduct and even use of threat and blackmail to extort money from accused persons being probed for alleged offences. This was again illustrated by the tragic suicides by Bal Kishan Bansal former Director General in the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and his entire family members. Bansal, committed suicide on Tuesday along with his son Yogesh, in his suicide note, accused the CBI of mental and physical harassment, torture and abuse, which forced the family to end their lives.

Both left behind four sets of suicide notes which talk about a DIG-level officer, a lady DSP, and a “fat constable” who had harassed the family.

The agency arrested Bansal in July for allegedly accepting a Rs 9-lakh bribe from a prominent pharmaceutical firm to “scuttle a probe” against the Mumbai-based company. He belonged to the Indian Corporate Law Services and was promoted to the post of director general of corporate affairs last year. In his suicide note, Bansal wrote : “Even if I was guilty, why torture my wife and daughter? This was murder of two women; it can’t be called suicide. I want a lie-detector test of all these officers.” According to the suicide notes of Bansal and Yogesh- DIG Sanjeev Gautam, SP Amrita Kaur, Dy SP Rekha Sangwan, IO Harnam Singh and one other person tortured them “mentally and physically”, forcing the family to commit suicide. In the suicide note left by Yogesh, it notes that the lady officer was abusive and used to pinch his mother(Bansal’s wife) with nails and was abusive with both the mother and daughter. In his suicide note, Bansal wrote that the five CBI officers and “one of our neighbours living in same building” harassed us and made fun of the family. The extreme steps that the entire Bansal family had to endure at the hands of vindictive and abusive investigating teams is blot on the CBI. The top officials of the agency could not but face questions and criticisms from various quarters by constituting an internal probe to look into the allegations. In India, there is a police-mania syndrome where officers feel they have the luxury to unabashedly abuse the power given to them by the public. They thrive on feeling powerful and in control. Abusive intimidation tactics that know no boundaries are incessantly used to break a person. Police misconduct and human rights violations are commonplace in India. Police misconduct refers to inappropriate or illegal actions taken by police officers in connection with their official duties. Police misconduct can lead to a miscarriage of justice and sometimes involves discrimination or obstruction of justice. It is believed corruption among the Indian Police Service is pervasive and goes up to the top brass. A number of officers face charges in Central Bureau of Investigation cases. Unfortunately, the answer is that there is no mechanism in place to hold the police accountable for their actions. When something bad happens to people then they go to the police but when the police commit wrong then where do they go ?

DailyDevotion The Awareness of the Call …for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel! —1 Corinthians 9:16 We are inclined to forget the deeply spiritual and supernatural touch of God. If you are able to tell exactly where you were when you received the call of God and can explain all about it, I question whether you have truly been called. The call of God does not come like that; it is much more supernatural. The realization of the call in a person’s life may come like a clap of thunder or it may dawn gradually. But however quickly or slowly this awareness comes, it is always accompanied with an undercurrent of the supernatural— something that is inexpressible and produces a “glow.” At any moment the sudden awareness of this incalculable, supernatural, surprising call that has taken hold of your life may break through— “I chose you…” (John 15:16). The call of God has nothing to do with salvation and sanctification. You are not called to preach the gospel because you are sanctified; the call to preach the gospel is infinitely different. Paul describes it as a compulsion that was placed upon him.

If you have ignored, and thereby removed, the great supernatural call of God in your life, take a review of your circumstances. See where you have put your own ideas of service or your particular abilities ahead of the call of God. Paul said, “…woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!” He had become aware of the call of God, and his compulsion to “preach the gospel” was so strong that nothing else was any longer even a competitor for his strength.

If a man or woman is called of God, it doesn’t matter how difficult the circumstances may be. God orchestrates every force at work for His purpose in the end. If you will agree with God’s purpose, He will bring not only your conscious level but also all the deeper levels of your life, which you yourself cannot reach, into perfect harmony.

Post-mortem

Clandistine relationship with truth T I

t is extremely saddening to observe the present leadership in various fronts gradually losing focus on the bigger picture of the collective well being the Nagas. Many at the decisive helms of affairs in government and various NGOs are addressing hoards of burning issues with compromised honour and honesty dictated by vested interests while maintaining a very hypocritical relationship with truth.

Starting with issues such as (1) The opaque “Framework Agreement”; (2) The Rongmai recognition as an Indigenous inhabitant Tribe of Nagaland; (3) The emerging controversy within the Naga Hoho; etc., the overall response of our leaders has been far from satisfactory.

(1) Let us first deal with the “Framework Agreement” issue yet again. The joint statement issued by ‘NSCN (IM) leaders on ‘Framework Agreement’ published in all the local papers on 1st September 2016 was a literal denunciation of “Nagas of Nagaland” into the realms of irrelevance. However, let it be affirmed that without the “Nagas of Nagaland” the core subject of “Naga Sovereignty” would not have existed in the first place. History reflects that political consciousness or the collective pride of ‘Naga identity’ as an independent people amongst our Naga brothers elsewhere was non-existent when thousands of Nagas of Nagaland were already being butchered by our adversary because of the NNM. There were still others who failed to find courage to join the National Movement at its most trying hours even though the National call had unequivocally been sent out to them. Anyone with an honourable sense of pride would therefore customarily consider this joint statement of NSCN (IM) leaders as the mother of all insults to the Nagas of Nagaland... questioning the rightful place of Nagas of Nagaland in Naga History by those who joined the ‘sovereignty’ band wagon only after ensuring it was safer for them to do so.

Having said that, it is amply clear that the Nagas in general are not against the “Framework Agreement” per se but are decidedly averse to the lack of transparency concerning its contents; As stakeholders, the common view being upheld is that the essence of the very principle of ‘Naga freedom’ gets violated and rendered meaningless if fundamental right to information directly linked to their future wellbeing and fair opportunity to be heard, is arrogantly and autocratically trampled to the ground even before achieving the goal. Lasting solution in real terms will be hard to find within such vicious environment especially without official participatory space being afforded to all the warring Factions in an honourable capacity.

Whether big or small, productive or unproductive, all Factions have played a role in the NNM and deserve a role to play in the closing chapter of the NNM. Therefore, instead of taking an unbiased proactive initiative to find an acceptable middle-ground of reconciliation to reinforce the efforts of FNR or go beyond the existing

parameter to deal with this complex factional equation the trend amongst the so-called leaders in government and NGOs has tilted towards joining ‘blind endorsement’ band wagon dictated by fear or self-perpetuating motivations rather than by dispassionate reasoning. We are fast becoming mere spineless race devoid of courage or vision, divorced from honesty and honour.

(2) Coming to the Rongmai fiasco: Other than handful of Rongmai families brought in by the British for some specific nature of labour requirement, the Rongmais as a Tribe has no historical or territorial presence within the State of Nagaland...period. No one is questioning the legitimacy of Rongmai as a Naga Tribe but they are not officially qualified to be declared as “Indigenous inhabitant” within the State of Nagaland. Showing specific consideration for posterity of those authentic Rongmai families who settled within Nagaland before a certain cut-off dateline on an individual case to case basis would be a fair dispensation but recognizing the whole Tribe because of a few would be a huge miscarriage of justice. Subverting this factual historical and territorial ground reality to give them “Indigenous inhabitant Tribe of Nagaland” will definitely open the floodgate for all other Naga Tribes from other States to claim the same distinction. Can a Government grant an unfair status to Rongmai Tribe and yet refuse other Tribes like the Maos and the Tangkhuls whose cases we understand are also pending consideration? This is a fundamental question of dispensing equitable justice for all that will haunt the Government now or later? Adopting irrational action will dangerously upset the delicate Tribal equilibrium and seriously deplete the already scarce resource-base and employment opportunities for the sons and daughters of the legitimate Tribes of this State. Therefore, since each Naga Tribe is enjoying democratic rights and privileges from the regions they presently belong, selfishly seeking “dual benefits” beyond their current defined location must firmly be put down with an iron fist. The sanctity of the original status must not be disturbed until territorial integration becomes a reality. Accusing Nagas of Nagaland for being uncharitable would itself be an uncharitable accusation. Decisions guided by dishonest ulterior motivations can only result in contradictions and confrontations as is being faced today. This must be undone in all fairness.

(3)Finally, let it candidly be stated that the present nomenclature of “Naga Hoho” is a misnomer.

Naga Hoho was originally created as a common platform for the 16 Tribes of the Nagas of Nagaland. That the membership eventually expanded into a Pan Naga representation was a welcomed necessity but should have appropriately been re-christened as a “Pan Naga Hoho” that aptly describes the broader base better rather than to continue within the limited confines of Naga Hoho despite this change

of circumstance. By not doing so, the much needed “exclusive voice of Nagas of Nagaland” that once existed was surreptitiously sabotaged and wiped out to a status of a ‘submerged minority’. This ‘loss of voice’ is disadvantageous not only to the Nagas of Nagaland but to the larger family of Nagas beyond. This has seriously compounded the already confusing picture of a complex tribal tapestry.

There seems to exist an apprehensive misgiving that such an effort would lead to disintegration of the present Naga Hoho. This is far from the truth. The crux of the matter is to simply change the nomenclature from the present “Naga Hoho” to that of “Pan Naga Hoho” with proportionate representation of all the Naga Tribes from Assam, Arunachal, Manipur and Myanmar including Nagaland. Pan Naga Hoho can then forthrightly address the desired subject of “integration of all Naga inhabited area under one administrative umbrella” as envisioned in the 16 Point Agreement with a more forceful legitimacy and also coordinate other equally important aspect of cultural and emotional integration of all the constituent members in a sustained manner. The Naga Hoho of Nagaland can then meaningfully participate in all the proceeding of the Pan Naga Hoho as equal partners with all the rest even as it regains empowerment to address problems endemic to Nagaland and usher in a fresh lease of sensibility within our own kitchen in a similar way that UNC is making its presence felt in Manipur. The sorely needed honourable pride in us as a people has well been amplified by the walkout of Ao Senden, Lotha Hoho and Sumi Hoho from the present Naga Hoho even if it was for a limited but important agenda of withdrawal of recognition of Rongmai Tribe as ‘indigenous inhabitant’. Although all the ‘elected’ Legislators as usual are unthinkingly scrambling to convince their respective Apex bodies to rejoin Naga Hoho, the unwavering stand of these three major Tribes is being applauded by most right thinking people in Nagaland! For a starter, it has at least caused the government that seems to only function under the pressure of ‘ultimatums’, to form a Cabinet Sub-Committee to try and clean up the droppings of the earlier Cabinet. This in itself is a laudable accomplishment whatever be the end result produced by this ‘Ultimatum Government’. It also serves as an eye-opening opportunity to consider restructuring and reforming the present Naga Hoho by re-naming it as Pan Naga Hoho with an acceptable proportionate representation from all the Naga inhabited regions. The Naga family can then honourably regroup and move forward together in one united voice and vision divorcing our present clandestine relationship with truth and legitimately marrying truth in Church.

The voice of dissent

he decision of the Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC), comprises of Ao Senden, Sumi Hoho and Lotha Hoho, to disassociate from the Naga Hoho had left the Naga Hoho with only five tribes from Nagaland and Nagas from Manipur as its constituent units. This would be a big setback for the Nagas as a whole at the time when the entire Nagas are in desperate need of unity among ourselves and work together towards finding a lasting and acceptable solution to our prolong Naga political problems. This “act of withdrawing” would not serve any good purpose for the Nagas in general as well as for the three tribes which decided to withdraw. However it would be unfair and wrong on the part of the Nagas to assume that the three tribes withdraw because they are against the Naga unity. This should not be viewed as the intention of the three tribes working against the interest of Nagas. Rather the reason should be studied objectively, address in a right perspective and resolved it if at all we care for our unity and the future of the Nagas.

Albeit its claim as the apex body of the Nagas representing the whole Naga community, Naga Hoho never represent the dream and aspiration of the Nagas inhabiting different political boundary in the real sense of the term. Since its inception ENPO, representing eastern Nagas in Nagaland and which constitutes 20 percent of Naga population, were never a part of Naga Hoho. Nagas from Assam and Arunachal Pradesh of India and Nagas of Myanmar too were never part of Naga Hoho. Did Naga Hoho ever make a sincere effort to reach out to the Nagas belonging to those regions and bring them to its fold during its 22 years old existence? The mandate of Naga Hoho is supposed to represent all the Nagas irrespective of region or political boundary including India and Myanmar and to ensure that the tribal bodies of Nagas belonging to those regions find a place and representation in Naga Hoho. The inefficiency on the part of the Naga Hoho leadership which fails to live up to that mandate has led loses the expectation of the Nagas. Naga Hoho’s decision to support the recognition of Rongmei tribe in Nagaland reflects its insensitiveness and poor understanding of the nature of the issue thereby reducing its role to confining to only one state and got themselves entangled with the issue which is supposed to be between the people of Nagaland and government of Nagaland. This present crisis confronting Naga Hoho is a clear symptom of public discontent over the functioning of the leaders who are representing the Nagas.

The biggest mistake on the part of Naga Hoho was its failure to understand the present political reality confronting the Nagas. Due to the unfortunate force occupation by the outsider, Naga are today place in different political boundary, and every Nagas faced with different challenges depending on the region to which they belongs. Every Naga therefore has to come up with its own strategy to

counter those challenges. United Naga Council (UNC), a Manipur based civil society organization formed in 1981, was formed to serve the Nagas of that region and have been working with the Naga Hoho ever since its formation. The existence of UNC is never considered as a parallel body outside NH working against the interest of the Nagas. Denouncing the formation of Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) as “irrational” and “premature and not appropriate for the Naga society” and refusing to give recognition to Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) was a great mistake by Naga Hoho which led to a sectional feeling among the Nagas. The unfortunate refusal on the part of Naga Hoho to acknowledge the regional aspiration of the Nagas of Nagaland led the people of Nagaland felt isolated which forced the Nagas of Nagaland to take this kind of unprecedented steps that affects the whole Nagas.

The question of recognizing one tribe in Nagaland is not worth dividing the Nagas to this extent.

The misunderstanding could have been averted had the NH’s leadership displayed maturity on its part and maintain restrain from interfering by respecting the sentiment of the people of Nagaland as this issue concerned only the state of Nagaland.

Nevertheless, it would be wrong to say that Naga Hoho will survive or not from the present crisis, or it’s not that the question of “trust” in Naga Hoho is at stake. But taking it positively, definitely our respective organization can take care of this sensitive issue keeping in mind that it is not a political issue which will be of fruitful opportunity to grasp the power. I could say “the burning issue” is not an issue because family disturbances are not issue at all but it’s only a kind of misunderstanding and a wrong reading of the situation which has created the blunder – the sad cyclone. In an optimistic note we can say cyclone destroys but the crisis of cyclone can also unite through the hurdles and obstacles we face. I expect that this sad cyclone that hit the Nagas should not break down and separate us. We should not allow some mischief to enter into it and steal the trust and penetrate the disease of separation and misunderstanding. We should take this carefully as a sensible wise person so that our unity as Naga will be proved as always we have proven before in many crisis. We should not allow others thought to break down our unity and allowed to take away our brotherhood from us. It is time to rise up our brotherhood to prove that “Nagas are Nagas”, and Naga will remain Nagas by maintaining the unity in any circumstances. No one was, no one is and no one will separate each other heart of Nagas.

I only hope that good sense will prevail among our leaders, resolve the differences and unite taking into consideration the bigger challenges that is front of us.

A clarion call from the CSCF Mkg A citizen has a moral duty towards environment protection

D

uring this crucial juncture of threshold of the Indo-Naga political settlement, the Concerned Senior Citizen Forum, (CSCF) Mokokchung Nagaland feels that it is our utmost moral duty to stand unwavering based on unshakable Naga political principles; drawn from the Naga peoples’ memorandum submitted to the Simon Commission in 1929 and subsequent reaffirmation by way of conducting National Plebiscite in 1951,followed by various political steps taken so far; now, reaching towards a possible political solution under the Framework Agreement, signed between GOI and NSCN (IM) during the ceasefire period. If the Nagas miss this God given opportunity, they will lament forever.

Therefore, we strongly feel that it is not the time to remain divided, but to keep prepared overcoming all destructive forces emerging from outside and inside during this testing period of our strength and capability to shoulder heavier political responsibilities.

Realizing that future generation is more important than the past eventful developments, all Nagas should now learn the art of living together and working together learning from the past shortcomings for greater interest of the Naga Nation having one slogan and one vision for a unified Naga selfrule government; an excellent model of Naga democracy in Naga way that could be demonstrated to the world as Naga Indigenous Peoples’ Tribal Nation.

We feel that it is not the time to narrate about the past glory repeatedly, or to glorify the 16 Points Agreement.

Moreover, it is not the time to

debate on the issue of inclusiveness or otherwise but to prepare together to reach the Naga political destiny jointly towards creating a Federation of Naga Indigenous Peoples’ Nation under the provision of UN declaration on the rights of the Indigenous People like that of the Nagas, either living in Indian or Burmese occupied territories of the Naga Homeland.

Instead of creating misunderstanding among the Nagas over many non issues with parochial approach, having selfish motives, mobilizing vote bank under Indian political structure, playing dirty politics; all Nagas should now come out from all those localized cocoons and contribute their best in the process of the Naga Nation building.

We further call upon all the Naga Civil Societies lead by the Naga Hoho to remain united more firmly to lead the Naga populace giving proper direction to the people as the Indo-Naga political negotiators from both sides are now concretizing the long cherished Naga political struggle coming to an end as desired and mandated by the Nagas.

For these reasons, the CSCF Mkg humbly invites every conscious Nagas citizen to join hand and voice out together with one voice for early settlement of the Indo-Naga political issue and to keep ready to carry out the outcome of the present political negotiations.

Signed on behalf of the CSCF Mkg, dated 30th September, 2016 Prof. A. Lanunungsang, Prof. Sangyu Yaden, Dr. Lanusashi, C.Bur Longkumer, Aoshingang Jamir, Pangerzulu, Benja Namo, Advocate

e all know that Environment is our surrounding which includes everything from a living being to a non-living thing.

The word “Environment” is derived from the French word ‘Environer’ which means ‘To encircle’ or ‘To surround’. The Environment Protection Act, 1986 clearly defines the word environment as the sum total of what is around something or someone. Environment is of two winds namely the natural and the built environment.

The natural existence are such as plants, air, water, wind, etc. whereas the built environment are those that man is responsible for the dams, cities, factories, industries, etc.

Environment is the very basic essential that sustains the existence of all life forms on this planet. Of the eight planets in the Solar System, Earth is the only planet with suitable atmosphere and environment with the right components to support human life, flora and fauna. But, in the ongoing twenty to thirty decades the natural atmosphere is being polluted due to unnatural factors, while natural causes like volcanos have its own turn in causing pollution, it is the man made ones that are more rampant. Human beings are indeed at the heart of the search for sustainable development, as our very survival depends on a very narrow range of environmental conditions. Some of the current major problems of our environment are as follows; air pollution, water pollution, deforestation, global warming and climate change. Air pollution has become a major problem around 4.3 million death occurs due to indoor air pollution from the household cooking over

coal, wood and biomass stoves.

While 3.7 million death occurs due to outdoors air pollution.

Improper chimneys causes serious problems as we inhale lot of smoke. Proper chimney is very important in villages since in our Naga society people stay in the kitchen more than any other room. The dust particles in the air produces from the non-black topped roads during dry seasons as the vehicles passed by cause serious health problems to the people. Dust from stone crusher, bad roads, burning of waste and vehicular emission adds rising air pollution in the city especially during dry season. Nearly 40% of the world population now faces chronic shortage of fresh water for daily needs. The waters are

polluted through the dumping of industrial waste, radioactive substances and coal mining through heavy metals and toxic chemicals present in the water it is unfit for consumption. The contaminated water kills around 2.2 million of people every year. In the state of Nagaland the major causes for water pollution is through the sewage water, and solid waste.

The time has come for us to develop a sense of urgent need to protect our environment as well as a sense of hope for its future. Plenty of damage has been done to the earth, the more is inflicted every day.

“This land is your land, this land is my land”. What land belongs in the hands of private

owners, and what land should remain open to the public for all to enjoy. Land is one of the world’s most important natural resources. It provides humanity with food and shelter, among numerous other things contributing to human survival.

However, it also provides for the existence of the plant and animal worlds. Therefore, it is important to protect and conserve our natural resources including air, water, and forest in order to maintain the overall health of our environment as all these resources are at some risk today.

Reader’s Post Any Bill or Act passed by NLA ‘If found anti-people’ may be ‘reviewed or revoked’

Sir,

Being a senior member and lover of Naga unity, lover of Nagas peace and reconciliation, I give my humble suggestion to one and all that, instead we dismantle our “Apex Naga Hoho” House, ‘Let us review and revoke the Bill/Act Recognition of Rongmei as a tribe within Nagaland state’. In case, any Bill or Act, that is passed by the Nagaland State Assembly, if found anti-people can be reviewed and revoked. Instead, we dismantle our Naga House let us suggest to our Nagaland Govt. to review the “Recognition of Rongmei as a tribe within the Nagaland State” Let us think twice and preserve the house of House of Naga Hoho, which is the only Apex body that can ventilate our grievances to the level of the National and International. At Home (within Nagaland) this Home Naga Hoho alone assisted and still assisting NBCC in matters of peace initiatives among the Nagas in undergrounds and among the overground as well. I Love Naga Hoho as it was proposed by Wokha public meeting and the Naga Hoho House was built in Zunheboto meeting, initiated by Sumi Hoho president Late Dr. V.C. Kanito. Now, it is time for Naga unity and not for Nagas dis-integration. Lastly, I request the Nagaland Government to accept the demand of NTC and CNTC and save the Naga House “Naga Hoho” I.

BJP Mandal Pughoboto responds to NPF Central youth wing

DIMAPUR: Reacting to the NPF Central Youth Wing’s statement that it was not answerable to the BJP Mandal Pughoboto, the Mandal has asked the NPF Central Youth Wing to “directly answer to the people since the issue has already been in the domain of the public.”

In its response through a press release, president BJP Mandal Pughoboto, Jevito Achumi and press secretary, Jevishe Y Assumi, the Mandal accused the NPF Central Youth Wing of trying to divert the attention of the people by leveling false charges and shying from the real point of the issue.

The BJP Mandal said it did not asked the NPF Central Youth Wing to answer them nor said that they function under the Mandal but has asked to know whether the Youth Wing was applying the same yardsticks to other departments also apart from H&FW department where they have asked for termination of the appointments made by one particular officer.

EPFO to invest Rs 13,000 cr in ETFs: Labour Minister

raise it to 10 per cent keeping the good economic situation, ground conditions and how social security funds invest globally. We are custodians of workers money and our responsibility is to see they get good returns.”

In 2015-16 fiscal, he said, the experience is “very good” and EPFO invested Rs 6,577 crore in the ETFs. “In the last one year, the rate of return on investments was 13.24 per cent, and at the same time our rate of returns in other securities is declining,” he added.

The Finance Ministry had last year notified a new investment pattern for EPFO, allowing the body to invest a minimum of 5 per cent and up to 15 per cent of its funds in equity or equity-related schemes.

The EPFO had started investing up to 5 per cent of its investible deposits in ETFs in August 2015. EPFO’s investible deposits (annual) is around Rs 1.30 lakh crore and it manages a corpus of about Rs 8 lakh crore.

Government has entrusted the task of managing the EPFO’s investments in ETFs to SBI Mutual Fund and UTI Mutual Fund. While SBI will manage 75 per cent of the amount, 25 per cent will be managed

by UTI.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur friday, september 30, 2016

Sensex takes 465-pt hit as India mounts surgical strikes Mumbai, Sep 29 (PTI): Stocks reeled under huge losses on Thursday as benchmark Sensex plunged sharply by over 465 points, the biggest single-day fall in three months, after India carried out “surgical strikes” last night on terror launch pads across LoC. The rupee too was in the line of fire, down 49 paise (intra-day) against the US dollar, to trade at 66.95.

World markets, however, cheered the surprise deal cut by OPEC to slash oil output for the first time in eight years.

The stocks started off higher extending yesterday’s recovery, but suffered a jolt after announcement that India conducted surgical strikes last night on terror pads across the Line of Control.

The Sensex hit a high of 28,475.57, in sync with a firm Asian trend after a surprise decision by OPEC to cut oil output to push up prices.

But the Army’s announcement triggered all-round selling, sending the Sensex into a tizzy, which broke below the key 28,000-mark. It settled at 27,827.53, down 465.28 points, or 1.64 per cent -- its biggest single-day fall since June 24 and weakest closing since August 26 when it closed at 27,782.25.

The gauge had recovered 69.11 points in yesterday’s trade.

The 50-share NSE Nifty,

which cracked below 8,600level to hit a low of 8,558.25 during the session, managed to recover part of the initial losses and settled down 153.90 points, or 1.76 per cent, at 8,591.25.

Mood turned cautious after the Army said the surgical offensive last night came on “very specific and credible information” about Pakistanbased terrorists being pushed into Indian territory for carrying out strikes in Jammu and Kashmir and various cities in India.

Expiry of September series contracts in the derivatives segment influenced trading sentiment, brokers said.

The red mark was near complete as 29 of 30 Sensex stocks slumped. Adani Ports, Sun Pharma, ICICI Bank, GAIL, Tata Steel, Lupin, Tata Motors and SBI crashed by up to 5.01 per cent. TCS manged to close in the green, up 0.46 per cent.

Among BSE sectoral indices, realty suffered the most by 6.31 per cent, followed by power (4.11 per cent), healthcare (3.26 per cent), metal (3.17 per cent), infrastructure (3.15 per cent), consumer durables (2.84 per cent), PSU (2.82 per cent) and capital goods (2.50 per cent).

Broader markets also performed weak, with the BSE small-cap index falling 4.02 per cent and mid-cap 3.60 per cent.

RBI Guv meets Jaitley ahead of MPC’s policy meet New Delhi, Sep 29 (PTI): Reserve Bank Governor Urjit Patel today met Finance Minister Arun Jaitley ahead of India’s first collective interestrate decision on Tuesday.

The October 4 monetary policy review will be the first under Patel and by the allpowerful interest-rate setting panel, whose constitution was notified by the government today.

Patel, who took over as the RBI Governor from Raghuram Rajan on September 4, did not offer any comment on his meeting with Jaitley but it is said to be a customary pre-monetary policy meeting where macro-economic developments would have been discussed.

Soon after his meeting, the Finance Ministry issued an order notifying the sixmember Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) headed by the Reserve Bank Governor.

The government had last week named three academics to join Patel, his deputy in charge of monetary policy and another central bank executive on the new MPC. Indian Statistical Institute Professor Chetan Ghate, Delhi School of Economics Director Pami Dua and IIMAhmedabad Professor Ravindra Dholakia as also three RBI nominees will have one vote each.

Electronics design space to get Rs 2 lakh cr investment Hyderabad, Sep 29 (PTI): Investments up to Rs two lakh crore is expected in India in the electronics system design and manufacturing space within the next four years, says industry body IESA. IESA (India Electronics and Semiconductor Association) president M N Vidyashankar said applications cleared at the Central and state level are worth about Rs 1.5 lakh crore over the last two-and-half years, under various programmes in the ESDM (Electronics System Design and Manufacturing) space.

“As per industry estimates, up to Rs two lakh crore is expected to be invested in India in the ESDM sector in the next three to four years, making use of policy dispensations available at the Central and state levels,” he told PTI in an interview.

Vidyashankar said IESA, the trade body representing the ESDM industry in India, would set up front offices in Taiwan (Taipei) by December and Japan (Fukoka) soon to attract investment.

IESA is also mulling opening offices in the US and South Korea.

“People need not come to India to get info on the most preferred location and all policy related issues will be available in the proposed

Front offices,” he said, adding “We are also thinking of opening front offices in the Silicon Valley in the US and Seoul, South Korea.”

On the impact of GST on ESDM industry, he said GST would introduce an element of certainty with the rate becoming same/uniform all over India, adding, it’s a huge positive.

“The kind of mad rush that we are seeing with states engaged in one-upmanship to offer lower rates to attract investment will be a thing of the past. Now, comparative advantage and a level-playing field will come into force.

Investors will go to states with natural/comparative advantages,” he said.

Vidyashankar also said that a lot of things are happening on the ground which is conducive for the ESDM sector to grow.

“Today, private sector is playing a complementary role in providing land and related infrastructure with plug and play environment. They are developing and selling/leasing land on terms as required by market and investors. Host of private business parks have come up in different states.

Things are taking shape in the product development space,” he said.

He said automobile sector also saw a similar phase of growth.

New Delhi, Sep 29 (PTI): Brushing aside strong opposition from the unions, Labour Ministry today doubled EPFO’s investment limit in ETFs to 10 per cent that will result in Rs 13,000 crore of the retirement fund body flowing into stock markets in the current fiscal.

It has raised the limit of investments by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) in the Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) in 2016-17 to 10 per cent of investible income from 5 per cent in 2015-16.

“We have already issued a notification raising the EPFO investment limit of ETFs to 10 per cent from the current 5 per cent of its investible deposits,” Labour Minister Bandaru Dattatreya told reporters at a press conference here. EPFO has already invested Rs 1,500 crore in ETFs in the first half of the current fiscal and will invest about Rs 11,500 crore in the remaining six months.

When asked whether Labour Ministry has sought the EPFO trustees’ approval, Dattatreya said: “The issue was discussed twice in the CBT meeting. Some members had reservations against the ETF investments.”

Asked whether CBT approval is not required, Labour Secretary Shankar Aggarwal said: “Government (Labour

Ministry) is over and above the board.”

He was of the view that when the CBT is not able to take decision on a issue then the Labour Ministry is appropriate government as per law (EPF Act) to take a decision for the benefit of the workers.

However, the trade unions have slammed the Labour Ministry for taking a “unilateral” decision without approval of the EPFO trustees.

They have been opposing investments by EPFO in the stock markets in view of their volatile nature and had been unanimous on the issue.

All India Trade Union Congress D L Sachdev told PTI: “We strongly oppose this unilateral notification by the government to double FPO investments in ETFs despite our reservations. We will would soon discuss the issue with other unions and launch a protest against this move.”

Indian Trade Union Congress Vice-President Ashok Singh said, “This is not the right approach. What was the emergency to do it and if it is done then what is the sanctity of the Central Board of Trustees headed by Labour Minister which is the apex decision making body for the EPFO.” Talking to reporters, Dattatreya said: “We decided to

The government is also pursuing strategic sales in some state-run hotels as well. It has decided to shut down 15 loss-making public sector units, of which at least six have now been cleared by the cabinet.

The CCEA also approved the proposal of Department of Heavy Industry for providing financial assistance amounting to Rs. 111.59 crore as non-plan loan to Bharat Pumps and Compressors Limited.

The statutory dues such as provident fund and gratuity of retired employees will be discharged and the outstanding dues of CISF will be cleared. “It will motivate the employees and improve the performance of the company.

several more are on the list of companies identified for shutting down as they are difficult to revive.

Along with this, the government has also revived the process of strategic sale with the last one being undertaken by the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government in 2003-04 when 72% equity in Jessop & Company was sold to IndoWagon Engineering for Rs 18.2 crore.

Since then successive governments have steered clear from strategic sales for fear of triggering controversy over valuation and political and trade union opposition to such sales.

The Narendra Modi government has vowed to push through strategic sales and expects to raise Rs 20,500 crore from this route in the current financial.

New Delhi, Sep 29 (PTI): Reversing its three-day losing momentum, gold price recovered by Rs 50 to Rs 31,350 per 10 grams today, with positive global cues doing the job amid scattered buying by jewellers at the domestic spot market.

Silver also surged by Rs 400 to Rs 45,550 per kg on increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers.

Traders said mild buying by jewellers at the domestic spot market, apart from a firm global trend on a weakening dollar, led to the recovery in the precious metal prices.

Globally, gold surged 0.26 per cent to USD 1,324.90 an ounce in Singapore.

In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purity were up Rs 50 each to Rs 31,350 and Rs 31,200 per 10 grams, respectively. The metal had lost Rs 300 in the previous three sessions.

Congress overrides Obama veto

Russia rejects ceasefire in Aleppo, offers 48 hours MOSCOW, SEP 29 (IANS): Russia would agree to a 48hour ceasefire in Syria’s Aleppo city, but would not allow it to be extended for a week, said a top official on Thursday.

Russian Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Sergei Ryabkov said they were proposing the ceasefire to guarantee civilian access to humanitarian aid but cited the US’ actions in Syria as the reason for its brevity, EFE news reported.

“With the aim of guaranteeing access to humanitarian aid, we are proposing a pause (in hostilities) of 48 hours,” the minister said at a press conference.

He added that “our American colleagues, for reasons only they know, are insisting on extending the ceasefire to seven days”.

Ryabkov said a week-long ceasefire would give “terrorist groups” time to rest, restock munitions and regroup, but insisted that the proposal for a two-day cessation in violence remained on the table.

He said putting an end to the Syrian conflict would require cooperation between Moscow and Washington but he insisted that Russia would not bow to ultimatums propounded by the US.

“Overriding a presidential veto is something we don’t take lightly, but it was important in this case that the families of the victims of 9/11 be allowed to pursue justice, even if that pursuit causes some diplomatic discomforts,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., a chief sponsor of the bill.

Speaking at a forum in Washington, CIA Director John Brennan said he was concerned about how Saudi Arabia, a key U.S. ally in the Middle East, would interpret the bill. He said the Saudis provide significant amounts of information to the U.S. to help foil extremist plots.

“It would be an absolute shame if this legislation, in any way, influenced the Saudi willingness to continue to be among our best counterterrorism partners,” Brennan said.

On CNN, Obama said that a few lawmakers who backed the bill weren’t aware of its potential impact. He didn’t name them. “And, frankly, I wish Congress here had done what’s hard,” he said. “It was, you know, basically a political vote.”

But Republicans and Democrats said the White House had been slow to re-

spond to the bill and miscalculated lawmakers’ intent to act on the legislation along with the 15th anniversary of the terror attacks. When Obama and senior national security officials such as Defense Secretary Ash Carter finally weighed in, it was too late.

The Senate passed the bill by voice vote in May. The Obama White House then made the mistake of thinking the bill would stall in the Republican-controlled House.

In August, 9/11 families pressured Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., while he was on a campaign swing in New York.

On Sept. 9, two days before the 15th anniversary of 9/11, the House passed the bill by voice vote with little debate.

Despite reversing Obama’s decision, a bipartisan group of 28 senators led by Bob Corker, R-Tenn., suggested that defects in the bill could open a legal Pandora’s box, triggering lawsuits from people in other countries seeking redress for injuries or deaths caused by military actions in which the U.S. may have had a role.

Corker, the chairman of Foreign Relations Committee, chided the White House for being outraged over the outcome when the administration did so

little to sustain the president’s veto.

“There was zero desire to sit down and talk about a way to get to a better outcome.

Zero,” Corker told The Associated Press. “To my knowledge, I don’t know of a call from Obama to a single senator over this.”

In a letter sent Tuesday to Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, Obama said the bill would erode sovereign immunity principles that prevent foreign litigants “from secondguessing our counterterrorism operations and other actions that we take every day.”

But proponents of the bill dismissed Obama’s concerns as unpersuasive. Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the Senate’s No. 2 Republican, and other supporters said the bill is narrowly tailored and applies only to acts of terrorism that occur on U.S. soil.

Families of the victims and their attorneys dismissed concerns over the legislation as fearmongering. “We rejoice in this triumph and look forward to our day in court and a time when we may finally get more answers regarding who was truly behind the attacks,” said Terry Strada, national chair of the 9/11 Families & Survivors United for Justice Against Terrorism.

Italian PM warns UK over EU rights LONDON, SEP 29 (IANS): Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi on Thursday said it would be “impossible” for Brexit talks to result in a deal that gave Britons more rights than others outside the European Union (EU).

Renzi told the BBC that he had been shocked and saddened by the referendum result, but repeated Prime Minister Theresa May’s vow that “Brexit is Brexit” saying democracy had to be respected.

But he said that a debate could only begin once the UK had triggered article 50 -- the official procedure for it to start leaving the EU -- and he warned: “It will be impossible to give to British people more rights than other people outside the EU.” “The people of the UK decided the way for the future,” Renzi said.

“Now the situation is that we can -- and we have to -- build the best alliance between the UK and the EU for the future because we will be the best friends for the next years.”

“And at the same time I think this decision could push European leaders to invest in a new way for Europe,” the Italian Premier added.

Thousands pay last respects to Peres JERUSALEM, SEP 29 (AP): Thousands of mourners today paid respects to the late Shimon Peres outside Israel’s parliament building in Jerusalem.

Thousands of people were visiting the site, where Peres’ casket lay in state ahead of his funeral in Jerusalem tomorrow.

Israeli police say 8,000 police officers have been deployed to maintain order during the mourning period.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said that officers will also monitor social media for potential attackers.

Scores of foreign leaders, including US President Barack Obama, are expected at the funeral at Israel’s national cemetery in Jerusalem.

N AT O S e c r e t a r y General Jens Stoltenberg, French President Francois Hollande and German President Joachim Gauck are also among scores of world leaders attending Peres’ funeral.

It is expected to be the largest such gathering in Israel since the funeral of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, assassinated by a Jewish nationalist in 1995.

Peres died yesterday from complications following a stroke. He was 93.

Clinton and his wife, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, have said they lost “a true and treasured friend” in Peres.

The son-in-law and personal physician of Shimon Peres said the former Israeli president left behind detailed plans for his funeral.

Dr. Rafi Walden says Peres requested that his three children speak, along with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Reuven Rivlin, a foreign dignitary and an Israeli cultural figure.

Walden said Peres also requested local singer David D’or sing at his funeral.

Walden predicted the song would be the prayer “Avinu Malkeinu,” or “Our Father Our King.”

Jews sing the prayer on the Day of Atonement, which falls this year in mid-October.

European Council President Donald Tusk and European Commission President Jean Claude-Juncker have sent a letter of condolence to Israel’s President Reuven Rivlin following the death of the country’s ninth President Shimon Peres.

Pakistan must combat UN- Pak flays LoC firing, denies ‘surgical strikes’ by India designated terrorists: US NSA WASHINGTON, SEP 29 (IANS): US National Security Advisor Susan Rice spoke to her Indian counterpart Ajit Doval and said that the US has reiterated that Pakistan must “take effective action to combat and delegitimise” UN-designated terrorists and terror groups.

Rice spoke to Doval just ahead of the Indian Army’s surgical strikes on terror launch pads across the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday night.

On September 18, in a cross-border terror attack on an Indian Army garrison at Uri in Jammu and Kashmir,

18 soldiers lost their lives.

In a press statement on Wednesday, US National Security Council spokesperson Ned Price said that Rice “strongly condemned the September 18 cross-border attack on the Indian Army Brigade headquarters in Uri and offered condolences to the victims and their families”.

“Ambassador Rice affirmed President (Barack) Obama’s commitment to redouble our efforts to bring to justice the perpetrators of terrorism throughout the world,” Price said.

“Highlighting the danger that cross-border terrorism

poses to the region, Ambassador Rice reiterated our expectation that Pakistan take effective action to combat and delegitimise United Nationsdesignated terrorist individuals and entities, including Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, Jaish-eMuhammad, and their affiliates,” he said.

India has blamed the Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed for the Uri attack.

The attack came amid large-scale violence in Jammu and Kashmir that has claimed around 90 lives following the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Burhan Wani in July.

“Such falsified, concocted and irresponsible statements can only escalate the already fragile security situation in the region, especially in the wake of the Indian brutalities and war crimes in the Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir,” the statement said.

WASHINGTON, SEP 29 (AGENCIES): In a resounding rebuke, Democrats joined with Republicans Wednesday to hand Barack Obama the first veto override of his presidency, voting overwhelmingly to allow families of Sept. 11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia in U.S. courts for its alleged backing of the attackers.

Both the House and Senate voted decisively to reverse Obama’s decision to scuttle the legislation. Democrats in both chambers abandoned the president in large numbers despite warnings from Obama and top national security officials that flaws in the bill could put U.S. interests, troops, and intelligence personnel at risk.

The Senate vote was 97-1, with only Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., backing the president. The House vote a few hours later was 348-77, with 123 Democrats rebuffing the president and voting to override. Obama said during a CNN interview that overriding his veto was a mistake that may set a “dangerous precedent.”

Lawmakers said their priority wasn’t Saudi Arabia, but the 9/11 victims and their families who continue to demand justice 15 years after attackers killed nearly 3,000 people in New York, the Washington,

Infotainment Cliff Richard says ‘cloud has lifted’

Tannishtha slams comedy show for ‘roasting’ her dark skin S

A

c t r e s s Ta n n i s h t h a Chatter jee, star of the acclaimed film ‘Parched’, has revealed in a strongly-worded Facebook post that she walked out of TV show ‘Comedy Nights Bachao’ because she was trolled for her dark skin.

Ms Chatterjee, 35, appeared on the show to promoteParched, which released in India some days ago. In her post, she writes that she was told in advance thatComedy Nights Bachao follows the ‘roast’ or insult comedy format but that she was unprepared for what she terms ‘bullying’ about her skin tone.

She was looking forward to being ‘roasted, which she describes as being ‘a mock counter to a toast.’ It didn’t quite turn out the way she’d expected.

“To my utmost horror, I soon realized that the only quality they found worth roasting about in me was my skin tone. It began with “aap ko jamun bahut pasand hoga zaroor, kitna jamun khaya aapne bachpan se?” And went on in that direction. I could not believe I was sitting in a nationally televised comedy

show in 2016 in Mumbai amid such regressive (I can’t call it humor), and blatantly racist content,” Ms Chatterjee writes.

Chatterjee explains how prejudice against skin colour is deeply-rooted in caste bias and that casteism is one of the several notions that her film Parched challenges.

Comedy Nights Bachao, which is in its second season, is fronted by comedians Krushna Abhishek and Bharti Singh. Tannishtha Chatterjee says she sat through two ‘offensive’ segments of the

episode and then left.

Parched, which co-stars Radhika Apte and Surveen Chawla, examines the lives of rural women and has been warmly received by critics.

The Rabari community of West India have objected to what they see as the portrayal of their tribe in the character played by Ms Chatterjee, a young widow looking for a bride for her son.

Tannishtha Chatterjee is known for her work in Brick Lane and co-starred with cricketer Brett Lee in the film UNIndian.

ir Cliff Richard says “a cloud lifted” when he was informed he would not be prosecuted over claims of historical sex offences.

“It’s not been the best two years of my life but it’s all gone,” he told Ken Bruce on BBC Radio 2.

“Even though I knew it couldn’t go anywhere [because] these things never happened, there is always the fear and the embarrassment of being talked about in those terms.

“I’m moving on with my life.”

The singer was the subject of a long-running investigation by South Yorkshire police, which centred on accusations made by four men.

He was never arrested or charged, and always maintained his innocence.

The claims against the singer were dropped on 16 June on the grounds of insufficient evidence. The CPS reviewed the case following an application by one of his accusers but concluded this week that their decision has been correct.

New album Sir Cliff was speaking to BBC Radio 2 after announcing the release of a new album, Just... Fabulous Rock ‘n’ Roll which will feature a duet with Elvis Presley.

Chicago man pleads guilty to ‘Celebgate’ photo hacking

A

n Illinois man has pleaded guilty to hacking the e-mail accounts of high-profile female celebrities to gain access to nude photos of women including Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence, model Kate Upton, and soccer player Hope Solo.

Edward Majerczyk, 29, pleaded guilty on Tuesday in District Court in Chicago to one felony change of unauthorized access to a protected computer to obtain information, charging documents showed.

While no victims were named in court documents, Lawrence, actress Kirsten Dunst, and Upton have addressed the leak and online dissemination of their nude photos in interviews. The Chicago Tribune named those celebrities as among the victims, as well as Solo.

The Tribune reported that Majerczyk told District

Judge Charles Kocoras on Tuesday that he targeted celebrities, going through personal information and downloading “sensitive images.”

His lawyer, Thomas Needham, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The newspaper quoted Needham as telling the judge there was no evidence “of any effort by my client to sell or disseminate” any images.

“So essentially it was for his own personal satisfaction and enjoyment?” Kocoras

said, according to the newspaper.

“Yes, your honor,” Needham was quoted as saying.

Representatives for Lawrence, Dunst, Solo, and Upton did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Fitzpatrick for the Northern District of Illinois said by e-mail that his office agreed to seek a nine-month prison sentence for Majerczyk, who lives near Chicago.

He declined to comment further.

Prosecutors said Majerczyk used a phishing scheme to illegally access more than 300 Apple iCloud and Google Gmail accounts to obtain photographs and other private information from more than 300 victims including high-profile female celebrities from November 2013 to August 2014.

In March, a Pennsylvania man agreed to plead guilty to a felony computer hacking charge linked to the scandal.

Majerczyk’s sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 10, the Tribune reported.

The newspaper cited a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles as saying that the investigation was still ongoing into who leaked the private information online. Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles, where a number of the victims live, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

‘Amanda Knox’ doc sets record straight on infamous 2007 murder

O

riginal interviews and sober discussion of evidence make new Netflix documentary a mustsee Imagine someone digging through your old Myspace accounts looking for evidence to take completely out of context and defame your character. Terrified yet?

You should be, because that’s how the press came up with “Foxy Knoxy,” the tabloid headline used in the internationally covered case against Amanda Knox for the murder of her roommate in 2007.

While studying linguistics in Italy, 20-year-old Knox became the public target of an eight-year investigation that wrongfully convicted her for murder – twice.

The media took hold of

the information as it leaked, resulting in an overblown media fiasco that destroyed Knox’s reputation along with any possibility of a normal life.

“Google the name Amanda Knox and you get 7.1 million hits,” says the nowexonerated Knox in Amanda Knox, a riveting new Netflix documentary that uses exclu-

sive interviews with the key players involved to illustrate the chain of events that led a seemingly normal girl from Seattle to becoming one of the most hated women in the world.

In 2008 Rudy Guede, reportedly a small-time drug dealer in the area, was convicted for the murder and sexual assault of Meredith Kercher after the police linked his DNA to the crime scene as well as the feces left behind. Still, the media hounded Amanda for years after, refusing to let up on the notion that she had been involved.

The Supreme Court of Italy definitively acquitted Knox in 2015 – her reaction poignantly captured by the filmmakers in a closing scene from Amanda Knox.

The film has been released in various countries including Taiwan, however the release dates in India hasn’t been confirmed yet.

ooks like Jennifer Aniston had known all along that the truth would catch up with her former husband, Brad Pitt, who allegedly left her for Angelina Jolie in 2005.

An insider is reported to have told that the 47-year-old actress commented “Yeah, that’s karma for you!” after it was announced that Jolie had filed for divorce, reports

Us Weekly.

Aniston married the ‘Mr And Mrs Smith’ actor in 2000 and publicly split in 2005 following complications, which started while filming the movie with the 41-year-old actress.

“T

here are a lot of things this country needs more of, but guns aren’t one of them,” says singer-songwriter Singer-songwriter Ray LaMontagne has canceled his concert at the University of Texas in Austin due to concerns over a new state law that allows licensed gun owners to carry concealed weapons on public university campuses. The show was scheduled to take place on September 22 at Bass Concert Hall at UT’s Performing Arts Center. All tickets for the concert would be refunded at the point of purchase.

“I consider myself to be a very open minded human being, and I always try and see things from another’s point of view,” LaMontagne wrote on Facebook. “I realize this is a controversial issue and there are strong feelings on both sides of it. But no matter how hard I try to understand the rationale for allowing guns on campus or more broadly, the ‘concealed carry’ law in general, I just cannot in any way support that ideology. There are a lot of things this country needs more of, but guns aren’t one of them.”

LaMontagne also noted that he had attempted to work around the new campus gun law, which went into effect August 1st. However, the musician’s petition that the event be given special exemption from the law was denied by UT president Gregory Fenves’ office over the weekend.

Midfield-heavy NUFC eye better show los Queiroz to two more U-20 titles. “(Team owner) John Abraham and I have the same outlook on the game and the team. We want to bring in more talent that will be professional and willing to learn and evolve into better players,” Vingada had said when he was roped in.

Coming to the team, Vingada has inherited only five players from his predecessor Cesar Farias, with the rest of the crew being fresh imports.

Ivory Coast’s most capped international Didier Zokora, NEUFC’s marquee buy, is expected to shore up the midfield, which has always been the side’s mainstay, and the coming edition seems to be no different.

“Currently, we are focused on creating a strong midfield for the club and Didier Zokora’s presence adds to the already formidable midfield,” said the Portuguese.

Besides the former Tottenham man, the inclusion of Yusa Katsumi is another hint

Guwahati, Sep 29 (IANS): A continuous exhibition of good free-flowing football, but without the desired outcome that is the story of NorthEast United FC (NEUFC) in the previous two editions of the Indian Super League (ISL).

This year, the Highlanders look determined to script a different tale by making it to the play-offs as they gear up for season three of the cash-rich league that begins on October 1.

Known for their riveting brand of football involving slick passing and fast counterattacks, the Guwahati-based side will again go into the tournament with high expectations. And under new but vastly experienced Portuguese coach Nelo Vingada, the young side with an average age of 26 seems to be in good hands.

the side will rely on the middle of the park to win games. A vital cog in Mohun Bagan’s wheel in recent years, the fleetfooted Japanese will add zip to the midfield and his partnership with Didier will be crucial.

Seityasen Singh, who created a flutter with his raw pace down the flanks under Santosh Kashyap at Royal Wahingdoh, is another midfield weapon that can turn the tide in favour of NUEFC. The Manipur lad won a national team call-up for his sterling performances in the NEUFC shirt last season and was also signed by Salgaocar for the I-League last season.

In the forward line, NEUFC’s weak link in the past, Nicolas Velez will have the responsibility of scoring more goals. The Argentina striker, who has been retained this season, is already the highest scorer of the team with five goals in 14 matches and going by his social media posts, is primed to do one better this time around.

In-form India striker Sumeet Passi and 18-year old Lallianzuala Chhangte, who grabbed headlines last year in the SAFF Championship tie against Nepal with two superb goals, will be the ones to look out for as well. Under the bar, the addition of veteran India goalkeeper Subrata Paul has thrown a challenge to T.P. Rehenesh, who made his name with NEUFC in the first season.

In 2015, one saw a much improved performance from NEUFC compared to their inaugural season. They finished fifth and missed the knockout stages by only two points.

What remains to be seen is whether the boys manage to convert all their good work in the midfield into goals, which they singularly failed to do in the past editions. Last term, NEUFC found the back of the net only 18 times despite finishing fifth, while wooden spooners Kerala Blasters pumped in four more than them.

Dhaka, Sep 29 (IANS): India outplayed Pakistan 3-1 to set up a title showdown with hosts Bangladesh in the Under18 Asia Cup hockey tournament here on Thursday.

Forward Shivam Anand (7th minute), striker Dilpreet Singh (32nd) and captain Nilam Sanjeep Xess (46th) scored for India to make it 3-0 before Amjad Ali Khan pulled one back for Pakistan.

Both teams had scored a high number of goals in the group stage so an attacking encounter was expected. Both the team showcased their traditional counter-attacking game but India’s attack was more accurate, as was its timing. India’s link-up play between the midfield and attack proved to be the difference in their strong start to the match. India drew first blood when Shivam Anand scored a field goal in the seventh minute.

Throughout the first half India and Pakistan attacked each other furiously, making several circle incursions. It was India who were more clinical in

front of the goal, and three minutes from the end of the half they doubled their lead with a penalty corner goal by Dilpreet.

The second half had a similar start to the first, India on the ascendancy, controlling possession and applying the pressure. Soon enough they won a penalty corner, and from the flick, a foul gave them a stroke.

Waqar in Pakistan’s goal saved the stroke to keep his side in the game. Within minutes though, the third goal arrived, Sanjeep converting another penalty corner to give India a comfortable 3-0 lead.

At this point, it was a stroll in the park for the Indians who enjoyed their 3-0 lead. And Pakistan soon started capitulating under pressure, and two of their players were penalised for technical fouls in the latter stages of the game. They managed to grab a goal back in the 63rd minute via Amjad.

Man City held by Celtic, Arsenal win

Gordon (right) dives desperately at the feet of Sterling but he is perilous to stop the England winger’s goalbound effort.

Glasgow, Sep 29 (Agencies): Celtic and Manchester City shared six goals in a thrilling 3-3 draw in Glasgow.

The home side got off to a dream start in the Group C clash when, with three minutes gone, Scott Sinclair’s free kick was played back across goal and Erik Sviatchenko’s header flew in off Moussa Dembele.

City levelled when a deflected shot by Kolarov broke for Fernandinho and his control and low finish put the visitors on terms with only 12 minutes gone.

But Celtic were back in front again when Kieran Tierney, overlapping on the left, smashed a low effort in off Sterling as he tried to get back and cover -- only for Sterling to grab an equaliser at the other end.

Within moments of the start of the second half, the Scottish champions led for the third time as Dembele steered

an overhead kick past Bravo -- but City were unbowed and Nolito tied the game up for a third time after a flowing move.

Arsenal, fresh from the weekend’s 3-0 win at home to Chelsea, won 2-0 against Basel in Group A with a dominant display at the Emirates.

The Gunners started brightly and were rewarded after six minutes when a ball down the left freed Alexis Sanchez, whose fine cross was headed in by Theo Walcott.

And Walcott str uck again as a lovely move involving Mesut Ozil and Sanchez freed him to arrow a low finish in at the far post, with the Gunners -- and particularly Sanchez -- spurning numerous chances to add to their tally.

Last season’s runners-up Atletico Madrid beat Bayern Munich 1-0 in Spain, but Antoine Griezmann suffered a repeat of his missed penalty in the final.

Bayern had the first real chance of the Group D clash when a superb dinked Thiago pass was chested down and volleyed by Thomas Muller, who saw his effort well saved.

Fernando Torres then hit the post from close range -- but the home side broke through when Yannick Carrasco broke through the defence to fire past Manuel Neuer and in off the post. Griezmann could have doubled their lead but saw his penalty crash back off the woodwork.

before substitutes Turan and Pique smoothed the way for the victory on the road in front of 46,283 spectators at Borussia Park on Wednesday, reports Xinhua.

Barcelona took the reins from the kick off, but the Catalans were unable to break the deadlock despite two promising opportunities in the opening period.

Neymar unleashed an effort from 11 meters into the arms of Monchengladbach goalkeeper Yann Sommer before Luis Suarez pulled wide from central position.

As the match progressed, Monchengladbach opened the scoring against the run of the game. Mahmoud Dahoud forced a turnover in the midfield and passed into the path of Hazard, who poked home the square pass in the 34th minute.

After the restart, Barcelona pressed for the equalizer, yet the “Blaugrana” had to wait until the 65th minute before Neymar’s lob into the box allowed Turan to restore parity into the roof of the net five minutes after his fielding.

The hosts were unable to respond, as Barcelona turned up the pace after the equalizer.

The Catalans then sealed the deal with the 2-1 through Pique, who tapped in a rebound from close range as keeper Sommer spilled a Suarez shot on target in the 74th minute.

With the result, Barcelona top Group C after reaping their second straight win, whereas Borussia Monchengladbach sit on fourth and last place after suffering their second loss in a row.

Kolkata, Sep 29 (PTI): In the middle of a 12-match unbeaten streak at home, India’s marauding cricket team will be aiming to reclaim the No.1 spot in ICC rankings when it takes on an unsettled New Zealand in the second Test starting here tomorrow.

With 10 wins and two draws in their last 12 matches, India have been unstoppable on home turf in a journey that began with the 1-2 series loss against England in December

2012.

The y have be g un a packed 13-Test home calendar by inflicting a massive 197-run defeat over the visiting Black Caps in their 500th Test.

Having entered the threematch series one lower than Pakistan, India will also look to reclaim the number one rankings in the ICC Test rankings with a victory at the Eden Test.

India did not put a foot wrong at the Green Park stadi-

um even as Kohli’s bold move to go with a four-strong bowling attack surprised many.

The two Indian spinners -- Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja -- got fine support from the deteriorating Green Park wicket and they both accounted for 16 wickets.

The spin-mantra to get success at home has not changed even with the new set up under coach Anil Kumble and Kohli.

It will be no different

Mumbai, Sep 29 (PTI): BCCI has refunded 30 percent of franchise fees paid for IPL 2016 by suspended franchises, Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals, amounting to Rs 11.4 crore and 8.4 crore respectively.

Chennai Super Kings Cricket Ltd, that owns and operates the southern franchise, was last month refunded the first instalment of Rs 1,141,14,000 - that amounts to 30 per cent of the franchise fees paid to BCCI, according to information put up on the BCCI website.

Similarly, Jaipur IPL Cricket Pvt Ltd, that owns and operates Rajasthan Royals, had been paid Rs 8,40,18,000, constituting 30 per cent of the franchise fees paid by it to BCCI. Both these franchises, which have been suspended for two years from playing in IPL by the Justice Lodha committee as punishment for their owners indulging in betting, had paid the franchise fees under protest.

CSK and RR had moved the Bombay High Court in April, against the levying of franchise fees by the BCCI. The BCCI had decided for an out of court settlement by waiving the annual franchise fees to these two teams during their suspensions at its working committee meeting held in New Delhi last month.

The BCCI also rewarded the Hyderabad Cricket Association with a cash prize of Rs 28.75 lakh for providing good wickets and outfield for IPL 2016.

Lodha panel moves SC seeking removal of BCCI top NEW DELHI, Sep 29 (Agencies): The Supreme Court today pulled up the BCCI, asking it to “fall in line” after the Justice R M Lodha panel sought removal of the top brass of BCCI, including its President Anurag Thakur and Secretary Ajay Shirke, for non-compliance of the apex court directions.

The Lodha panel, in its status report filed before the apex court, had sought the replacement of top brass of the cricket body with cricket administrators.

It said that the BCCI and its office bearers are not complying with directions and repeatedly issuing statements to undermine the authority of the court and the members of the Lodha panel, which had recommended structural reforms in BCCI. The counsel appearing

at the Eden track, though the team think tank seems to be wary of the relaid wicket which will be used for the first time.

That means Kohli cannot afford to go with four bowlers on the Eden track which promises to offer spin only after a bit of wear and tear and leg-spinner Amit Mishra would certainly fancy his chances.

That India’s ace spinner Ashwin has a niggle -- corn or thickened skin -- on the middle finger of his bowling hand can be a worry for Kohli.

“I have a corn on my finger and I haven’t bowled a lot in the last 25 days,” Ashwin had said after the third day in Kanpur.

The 30-year-old offspinner, playing just his 37th match, finished with match figures of 10-225, his fifth 10-wicket haul and joined the 200-club of Test wickets.

Ashwin, in fact stayed away from bowling at the nets and was seen chatting with the coach before trying out his hand briefly at batting.

Uncapped Haryana offspinner Jayant Yadav, who was brought in as replacement for Ishant Sharma, is on standby if it becomes too painful for Ashwin to play here, something that may upset India’s plans.

The Haryana lad made his way through an impressive show in India A’s recent tour of Australia, picking up seven wickets in the unofficial Tests at 22.57 apiece.

for the panel said BCCI is not replying to emails and other communications sent to them and repeatedly defying the orders of the court.

The bench headed by Chief Justice T S Thakur took note of the submissions and said these are serious allegations and BCCI has to follow the directions of the court.

“If the BCCI thinks that they are law unto themselves, then they are wrong. They have to comply with the directions of the court,” the bench also comprising Justice A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud said.

“You (BCCI) are behaving like Lords. Fall in line otherwise we will make you fall in line,” the bench said, adding that, “BCCI is bringing the system to disrepute by not following the directions”.
