Become agents of change: Gov tells civil servants DIMAPUR, APR 20 (NPN): Nagaland governor, PB Acharya, congratulated the civil servants on the occasion of National Civil Servants Day and exhorted them to become “agents of change” in their respective organizations and departments.

In his message, Acharya said the Government of India had taken a decision to observe April 21 every year as “Civil Services Day” as an occasion for civil servants to rededicate themselves to the cause of citizens and renew their commitment to public service and excellence in work.

He said efficiency and effectiveness in the developmental administration was the major need of the hour.

In this regard, the governor reminded the civil servants that they were not just doing a job but a service to the common man individually and collectively. “People look upon the civil servants for resolution of their issues,” he added.

Further, describing civil servants as “pillars of development and the backbone of the government”, the governor encouraged them to be proactive and work for the cause without any discrimination.

Wishing civil servants the best in service of the people and nation, Acharya pointed out that they have to be loyal to the constitution of India. “This also means that our Civil Service has to take the ownership of the public action they are doing and the public assets they are creating,” he said.

well as the public to come together to coordinate and move forward to achieve the need of quality education, Dr. Liezietsu said that the right kind of education was an asset and a very gainful investment for the society.

NEW DELHI, APR 20 (IANS): Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Thursday met Congress president Sonia Gandhi here with the view to discuss larger opposition unity to take on the BJP in future elections, as well as the upcoming presidential polls.

Janata Dal-United leader K.C. Tyagi described the meeting as a “courtesy call” but also said that Gandhi should take a lead in forging opposition unity for the presidential elections in July.

“JD-U wants that for the presidential polls, Mrs Gandhi should take the lead in fielding a united candidate of the opposition,” Tyagi said.

The presidential elections are due in July when the term of President Pranab Mukherjee will end.

Tyagi said during the meeting, Kumar, who is also JD-U president, enquired

about Gandhi’s health as she had been unwell for some time. Asked about the possibility of a tie-up for the Gujarat assembly polls due later this year, Tyagi said there has been no proposal from the Congress so far.

He said the r uling grand alliance in Bihar will be strengthened further. The Congress is a partner in the ruling alliance in Bihar that includes JD-U and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD).

Kumar has in the past stressed on a grand alliance of opposition parties and said that Congress should take the initiative of bringing all major non-BJP parties on a single platform to defeat the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.

He had also said that lack of a Bihar-like grand alliance was mainly responsible for the BJP’s victory in Uttar Pradesh assembly polls.

CPI (M), CPI favour common oppn nominee

Top leaders of the CPI(M) and CPI met here today to discuss the possibility of “like-minded” opposition parties fielding a common candidate for the presidential poll. The term of President Pranab Mukherjee is coming to an end on July 24.

“We discussed the possibility of fielding a consensus candidate for the poll.

We don’t have any formal proposal before us right now, but we welcome this suggestion,” CPI general secretary S Sudhakar Reddy said.

Reddy said the CPI(M) and the CPI will discuss the idea with other left, secular and democratic opposition parties. CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury, his predecessor Prakash Karat, politburo members Brinda Karat and S R Pillai attended the meeting held at the CPI(M) headquarters here.

Centre likely to rename Teen Murti Spl. Correspondent

NEW DELHI, APR 20: A demand made by senior RSS functionary Indresh to acknowledge the role played by three regiments of the Indian army in the Battle of Haifa in Israel in 1918 is to be fulfilled by the government of India.

In response the culture ministry is seriously contemplating changing the name of the Teen Murti Chowk to the Teen Murti Haifa Mukti Chowk.

Teen Murti Chowk is not even a stone’s throw away from the entrance of the Nehru Memorial and that is where the next round of the culture minister’s battle against ‘Cultural Pollution’ is likely to be fough The house is named after the Teen Murti (literally “three statues”) Memorial

by British sculptor, Leonard Jennings, which stands on the road junction in front of its extensive grounds.

States oppose ‘imposition of Hindi’ in schools

NEW DELHI, APR 20 (IANS): The Central government on Thursday opposed any restrictions on public comments by politicians holding public offices, including ministers, other than those prescribed under the Constitution as the Supreme Court indicated that it may refer the issue to the larger Constitution bench.

“We don’t want to open new avenues of restrictions,” said lawyer Madhvi Divan as the bench of Justice Dipak Misra, Justice A.M. Khanwilkar and Justice Mohan M. Shantanagoudar asked amicus curiae Fali S. Nariman and Harish Salve to frame the questions that could be referred to the Constitution bench to decide.

The Centre reiterated its position in the course of the hearing wherein the court is examining the freedom of expression of a person in power vis-a-vis a rape victim’s fundamental right of protection of life, personal liberty and right to fair investigation and trial.

Addressing the court, Salve assailed the central government’s approach of reading the Constitution textually without giving it a philosophy.

The core issue being examined by the court is whether the right conferred under Article 19(1)(a) is to be controlled singularly by the restrictions under Article 19(2) or whether Article 21, too, would have any impact on it. Next hearing of the matter has been scheduled for May 2.

NEW DELHI, APR 20 (AGENCIES): The President’s approval to make Hindi compulsory in CBSE and Kendriya Vidyalya has ruffled feathers with most non-Hindi speaking states accusing the Centre of suppressing other native languages.

Deputy leader of Trinamool Congress Saugata Roy alleged the move is meant to implement the BJP’s majoritarian idea based on their slogan, ‘Hindi, Hindu, and Hindustan’.

“The Centre should have been more cautious before implementing the decision in non-Hindi speaking states.”

A presidential order dated March 31 had asked the HRD ministry to make serious efforts to make Hindi compulsory. “As a first step, Hindi should be made a compulsory subject up to standard X in all schools of

CBSE and Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan,” the order had said. As in February, CBSE had 18,546 schools in India and 210 in 25 other countries.

MK Stalin, working president of Tamil Nadu’s opposition party DMK, said on Tuesday, “The Centre has previously imposed Hindi on highway name-boards and newspaper advertisements. Even teachers’ day is called Guru P urnima. I warn the Centre not to sow the seeds for another antiHindi agitation.”

In Kerala, the move has posed a challenge as the state government had passed an ordinance on April 11, making Malayalam mandatory for all schools till Class X. With the new order, CBSE schools might have to overhaul their entire curriculum to accommodate three compulsory languages, including English.

NEFIS condemns centre’s move DIMAPUR, APR 20 (NPN): North-East Forum for International Solidarity (NEFIS) has condemned the move of the BJP government at the centre to make Hindi compulsory in CBSE schools, including Kendriya Vidyalayas run by the state. NEFIS convenor Chinglen Khumukcham in a statement said compulsory imposition of Hindi on people who come from non-Hindi linguistic backgrounds was discriminatory in nature.

Following approval by the President, the government has instructed HRD ministry has been instructed to form a policy in consultation with the state governments to make the language compulsory, the forum said.

However, NEFIS asserted that compulsory imposition of Hindi would create further discrimination against people from other linguistic backgrounds. It would also nullify the spirit of diversity upheld by the government of India to preserve the cultural and linguistic diversity of non-Hindi speaking regions. Therefore, NEFIS has decided to build a “big movement” to counter the discriminatory policies of the present government in the coming days.

He also opined that classroom teaching should have the corresponding effect with the prevailing situation and to transfer the classroom teaching into practical realities.

“We must have a specific strategy in our education system to impart quality and job-oriented education to our students,” he said.

While stating that the government had opened many schools and colleges in the past to cater to the needs of the public, Dr. Liezietsu however maintained that it was time now for the government to “concentrate more on giving quality education to students.”

at the silence of the department officials, saying their anticipation for a meeting did not happen till date.

NRMSATA president said while the teachers were carrying out poster campaign today, they came across the advisor to CM, Lalthara, who reportedly assured to convey the message to the chief minister.

Disbanded M’laya rebel group threatens to burn peace agreement publicly Correspondent

Shillong, Apr 20: The A’chik National Volunteers Council (ANVC-B), a disbanded rebel outfit, in Meghalaya on Thursday said the Agreed Text of Settlement signed with the government was a “total failure” and threatened to burn the document publicly However, a union home ministry official said a lot of progress has been made in the implementation of the Agreed Text of Settlement signed with the disbanded Garo rebels – the ANVC and its breakaway faction ANVC-B. “The agreement with the government is a total failure. Till today, the implementation of the agreement has not been monitored properly by the government,” former ANVC-B Chairman, Bernard Rimpu N. Marak said.

He said the Agreed Text of Settlement with the Government is in a “standstill” after it was signed on September 24, 2014 as the government did not take

any interest in the implementation of the Agreed Text of Settlement.

Slamming the Mukul Sangma-led government for the delay in providing the rehabilitation packages to ANVC-B, Marak threatened to burn the Agreed Text of Settlement publicly if the government fails to disburse the package within September 24, next.

“Fearing queries they did not even held meetings with us (ANVC-B) to review the progress of the Agreement. The State played with us by delaying and dishonoring the Agreement. Burning away the Agreement is what we have in our mind now,” Marak said.

Earlier, Union Joint Secretary Home in-charge North East, Satyendra Garg said a lot of progress has been made as far as rehabilitation is concerned and the central government is satisfied with whatever progress has made in this connection.

CBSE warns schools against selling books and uniforms

NEW DELHI, APR 20 (PTI): The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has told schools affiliated to it that educational institutions are not commercial establishments and sale of books, uniforms and stationery by them is a violation of norms.

An advisory has been issued following complaints from parents and stakeholders that schools are indulging in commercial activities by way of selling books and uniforms within the school premises or through selected vendors.

NIA court issues non-bailable warrant against Zakir Naik MUMBAI, APR 20 (PTI): The special NIA (National Investigation Agency) court here on Thursday issued a non-bailable warrant against the controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik, wanted by the agency for his alleged role in a terror case.

The National Investigation Agency had registered a case against Naik under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act last year.

It told the court that Naik didn’t appear before it even after three summonses were issued and it would need to take Interpol’s help to bring him back to India. Last week, another city court had issued an NBW against

Naik in a case of money laundering registered by the Enforcement Directorate against him. The ED lawyer had said Naik was believed to be in the United Arab Emirates. Naik, 51, left India last year, allegedly to evade arrest after some perpetrators of Dhaka terror attack+ claimed they were inspired by him.

Following the Dhaka attack, the NIA had registered a case against him and some officials of his organisation, Islamic Research Foundation, under section 153-A of IPC (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion) and the UAPA.

as community service and not as a business and that commercialisation does not take place in the school in any shape whatsoever. Educational institutions are not commercial establishments and their sole purpose is to

provide quality education,” it added. The CBSE also reiterated its directive to schools to stick to books published by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT).

“The Board receives reports and complaints regarding the pressure exercised by schools on children and their parents to buy textbooks other than [that of] NCERT,” it said.

Following complaints about shortage of NCERT books, the CBSE had asked schools to raise online indent for NCERT textbooks and more than 2,000 schools had participated in that.

HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar recently said that NCERT textbooks have been supplied to 2,000 private schools.

India demands details of trial against Jadhav NEW DELHI, APR 20 (PTI): India has officially sought from Pakistan details of the trial proceedings against Kulbhushan Jadhav as well as consular access and the appeal process in the case, the External Affairs Ministry said on Thursday.

Ministry spokesperson Gopal Baglay said India had asked for consular access to Jadhav for the 15th time and Pakistan had not responded.

“We don’t know anything about Jadhav’s location or condition in Pakistan,” he said, adding it is a matter of concern for India.

On Wednesday, India summoned the Pakistan Deputy High Commissioner and made a fresh demand for consular access to Jadhav, a retired Indian Navy officer. Earlier this week, Pakistan Army had ruled out access to him.

Virbhadra Singh appears before ED

New Delhi, April 20 (IANS): Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh, accused in a money laundering case, appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) here on Thursday.

“Singh appeared before the investigating officer at the ED Headquarters in New Delhi on Thursday afternoon,” ED spokesperson Anil Rawal told IANS. The ED had summoned Singh in the money laundering case on April 18 and had said that he must appear before it on April 20.

Earlier, the ED had summoned him on April 13, but he failed to turn up.

The senior Congress

leader had earlier allegedly avoided summons to get his statement recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

He is said to have excused himself by referring to his official commitments.

In the first week of April, the ED attached Singh’s Delhi farmhouse worth Rs 27.29 crore.

The agency’s move came after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed a chargesheet against Singh and others in March for allegedly amassing assets worth Rs 6.03 crore.

The ED had filed a criminal case under the PMLA against Virbhadra Singh, his wife Pratibha, Life Insurance Corporation

agent Anand Chauhan, his associate Chunni Lal, and others in 2015 following the CBI’s FIR dated September 23, that year.

The case was registered after a preliminary inquiry found that Singh as Union Minister from 2009 to 2012 allegedly accumulated assets worth Rs 6.03 crore, which were disproportionate to his known sources of income.

After his Delhi farmhouse was attached, the Chief Minister accused the Centre of harassing him and destabilising his government. He alleged that central agencies like the ED and CBI were being misused against political opponents by the Centre.

Govt will not reduce security given to VIPs: Venkaiah Naidu NEW DELHI, APR 20 (PTI): The government has no plans to cut back on security to VIPs, Union Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu on Thursday said, a day after the Centre banned the use of beacon lights atop all vehicles, except emergency vehicles like ambulances and fire brigade.

“With regard to security, it is necessary in the interest of the country because important people have to be protected. Otherwise, there is no preferential treatment,” Mr. Naidu, who holds the portfolio of Information and Broadcasting, told reporters here. About the Centre’s decision to put an end to the VIP culture, he said: “Everybody is a VIP and that is the philosophy of our government.”

Though it is a small initiative but it sends a message that every person should be treated equally, he added.

18 arrested for parading couple naked in Rajasthan J aipur , A pril 2 0 (IANS): Eighteen people were arrested on charges of beating a young couple and parading them naked in Rajasthan’s Banswara district, police said on Thursday.

“We arrested nine people on Wednesday and nine more on Thursday under various sections including attempt to murder and the Rajasthan Prevention of Witch Hunting Act,” a police official told IANS. The fathers of the young man and young woman have also been arrested. A young man in early 20s was in relationship with a girl in a village.

The two fled to Gujarat.

You have no sense of MOUNT MARY COLLEGE Chumukedima : Nagaland responsibility, NGT tells Sri Sri New Delhi, April 20 (IANS): The National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Thursday slammed Art of Living (AoL) founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar for blaming the central government and the green panel for the Yamuna damage.

“Just because you have filed an application, who gives you the liberty to say what you want. You have no sense of responsibility,” NGT Chairperson Swatantra Kumar said. The comments came after advocate Sanjay Parikh, appearing for petitioner Manoj Misra, told the bench about Ravi Shankar’s statement blaming the government and the NGT for permitting the AoL to hold the World Culture Festival on Yamuna floodplains last year.

A seven-member expert committee, headed by former Secretary of Water Resources Ministry Shashi Shekhar, says the festival has caused ecological damage caused to over 300 acres of floodplains. Ravi Shankar hit back, saying the authorities should have never given permission to hold the Festival if the Yamuna was “so fragile and pure”. He said the fine should be levied on the NGT as well as the central and Delhi governments for giving permission to hold the event. NGT has told Ravi Shankar to reply to the quantification of the reports within a week. He has two weeks to file objections. The next hearing is on May 9.

Good riddance

fter the central cabinet gave the nod, from May 1, 2017 none including President, VicePresident, PM, Chief Justice of India, Union ministers, chief ministers, state cabinet ministers and judges of the high court and Supreme Court can use red beacons. Those vehicles responsible for emergency duties like ambulances, fire brigade and police cars will use blue beacons. To implement it, Centre will amend Section 108 sub-rule (I) and (III) of the Central Motor Vehicle Rule, 1989. Section 108 deals with red, white and blue beacons while two sub-rules provides authority to Centre and States to nominate dignitaries to carry red beacons. The red-beacon lights and flashers that are mounted atop vehicles of VVIPs, VIPs and SIPs (self important persons) will no longer be seen and will gradually become extinct.

The decision comes in the wake of critical observations of the Supreme Court on unfettered use of red beacons and the inconvenience caused to the public.

The Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi was the first to withdraw the use of red beacons by ministers.

More recently, the Amarinder Singh government in Punjab has done away with red beacons, followed by the Uttar Pradesh government led by Yogi Adityanath, which banned hooters on ministerial vehicles. In India there are around 13,319 VIPs for whom that 45,846 policeman are deployed for protection and costing the nation a staggering Rs.825 crore annually. In comparison, Britain reportedly has a total of 84 officially designated VIPs. France boasts 109 such personages, Japan 125, Germany 142, Australia 205, the United States 252, South Korea 282, Russia 312, and our neighbour China has a total of 435 designated VIPs. In India, where the VIP culture is so blatant, there are 17 policemen for every one VIP whereas there is only one policeman for 253 Indians.

This figure shows how secure are ordinary Indian citizens. Even in a small state like Nagaland, it is presumed that approximately around two battalionstrong police force are saddled with secondary and tertiary duties as personal security officers, security convoy and static duties as house guards of myriad of VIPs. As per rule, VIPs can use escorts only when on bona fide duty and not when not on tours and in station. Prolonged attachment with VVIPs and VIPs has also caused much damage to the discipline and training of the uniformed personnel. The focus on the primary duty-to prevent crime-appears to have been diluted in the process. The VIP culture in Nagaland has overgrown into menacing proportions and fitting red beacons atop vehicle bodies is as teeming as the tribe that continues to rise in geometric proportions. In addition to all legislators, top bureaucrats, heads of government departments and almost all senior government employees who speed past with red beacons, there are the PS to ministers, parliamentary secretaries, government and ruling party media contingents, NGOs, unions and even church functionaries who have gotten into the habit.VIP duties are a huge drain on the police force which often faces acute shortage at crisis times. The VIP culture in the state has also infected security forces whose officers also move with the times. The VIP culture has become a menace with VIPs and their escorts violating every traffic rule as they speed past or force their way through heavy traffic at breakneck speed.

Hopefully, the Modi government’s bold decision will change all that in India.

DailyDevotion Can a Saint Falsely Accuse God? All the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen… —2 Corinthians 1:20 Jesus’ parable of the talents recorded in Matthew 25:14-30 was a warning that it is possible for us to misjudge our capacities. This parable has nothing to do with natural gifts and abilities, but relates to the gift of the Holy Spirit as He was first given at Pentecost. We must never measure our spiritual capacity on the basis of our education or our intellect; our capacity in spiritual things is measured on the basis of the promises of God. If we get less than God wants us to have, we will falsely accuse Him as the servant falsely accused his master when he said, “You expect more of me than you gave me the power to do. You demand too much of me, and I cannot stand true to you here where you have placed me.” When it is a question of God’s Almighty Spirit, never say, “I can’t.” Never allow the limitation of your own natural ability to enter into the matter. If we have received the Holy Spirit, God expects the work of the Holy Spirit to be exhibited in us.

The servant justified himself, while condemning his lord on every point, as if to say, “Your demand on me is way out of proportion to what you gave to me.” Have we been falsely accusing God by daring to worry after He has said, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you”? (Matthew 6:33). Worrying means exactly what this servant implied— “I know your intent is to leave me unprotected and vulnerable.” A person who is lazy in the natural realm is always critical, saying, “I haven’t had a decent chance,” and someone who is lazy in the spiritual realm is critical of God. Lazy people always strike out at others in an independent way.

Never forget that our capacity and capability in spiritual matters is measured by, and based on, the promises of God. Is God able to fulfill His promises? Our answer depends on whether or not we have received the Holy Spirit.

Post-mortem BCA as a Can Naga society survive without proper government lucrative career

A

society with a background of a village republic having its total trust on its villagers alone and never bow down to any outside force whether mighty or unmatched power to control over the village never ever surrender and still survived till the time immemorial period of its barbaric existence is the NAGA SOCIETY. The change wave for a better to modernization and civilization plus Christianity step into this unwavered primitive society to main stream of unblocked window of fast global village; having accessibilities to all our wants through a rapid progress of school and college education acquired within a period of less than one century, the people are puzzled in choosing the right path based on the truth because the influence of outside world and its prevalent practices (day to day way of life) are too much contrary to its mental attitude of the past equality of life. The land of classless society having equal opportunity of life based on hard labour with God gifted varied talents was shaken very badly in the consequences of years after years. The social status in the past society was insignificant but the present society is very much right conscious of its status and recognition in the present day to day life.

The society on equal opportunity and respect to all human beings across the length and breadth of its God’s gifted soil has diluted with lots of social bearers which were created and dominated by few so called leaders of the society just for the maintenance of their superior status in the social strata. The emergence of class society is very near unless the society realizes the impact of the future consequences right now.

The have & have not discrepancy is widened year by year and the living condition of the Naga society also widen day by day. It is feared that the elite society as the cream of society might dominate the whole society and control over the whole system if we don’t realize and bear in mind the spirit of oneness and togetherness in Naga society. Beyond the limitation bar

n a world where rationality is hailed and Christian ideals are hoisted across the length and breadth, a group of people still worship lies.They are not scared because they are walled by the goons who stink and are rotting before their death; a great tragedy!Worshippers of lies queue our vicinity under the unsafe patronage of their unreliable goons. Anything done without truth will definitely see its downfall and will lead the society to turmoil and confusion.Experiences of people down the history had proved enough and more to us about the tragedy that people undergo for their insincerity. Knowing well the consequences, some people still keep doing the things that they know is wrong.

When we carefully analyze the problems in our society, to the dismay of all, truth which is the highest of ideals in any successful society is just in the waste box for majority of the people.

Many people of today have no love for truth deep within.

They speak about truth but they do not practice because of which problems are piling and heaping like garbage in our towns which stinks.

Our streets and villages are queued with problems.

People cry for want of free-

G

of oneness and togetherness there would be no government in the Naga society as practiced for long period in the primitive stage and decorum of the past Naga society of oneness and togetherness in the Naga republican village is not applicable in this era of fast communication world.

Always blowing our own trumpet and criticize other fellow human beings of the same feather is nothing less than what is called echoing our own name in the society. The appreciation of oneself in the society and never ever admit our shortcoming is a self destruction theory. We can be clever enough to cover our false or misdeeds but others will take for granted that we are a total liar in the society. The best game played among the top leader’s levels that control the society is nothing but equivalent to following a conspiracy theory to knock down each other of the same standard. The leaders in the society are God’s chosen people to lead others by comforting and guide them to have a good future vision for the better society. Such leaders are God gifted & talented person in the society. Such leaders cannot be swept away by mere criticism or mispropoganda. In doing so, it will surely sharpen his/her mind to fight against evils or ill motive human arrogance. Such situation of indecisive attitude of the Naga population is prevalent right now.

The trust and confidence on various leaders in Naga society is diminishing year by year. Even in the church level, the fear of Pastor and church workers are losing its credibility in the eyes of the public year by year. Finding fault of church workers and pastors are greater and greater and even to the most revered persons like Rev., Dr. and Father Bishops etc are having ugly spots in the eyes of the Naga society. Who is ‘PERFECT’ in this world?. No one is perfect except the living God who is our redeemer and sustainer of human life. Beyond that human beings; though created in HIS OWN IMAGE, are all sinful creature; who have all fallen short of perfectness. Therefore, let

dom and justice everywhere!

Who then is responsible for all these miseries? Sad to say but the educated people at the head level create misery.

From a very simple ordinary clerk to the police to the highest official is looking for ways of gaining through lies. An officer who is paid by the government to cater to the needs of the common people expects tipall the time for a simple signature.

Children whose parents are bureaucrats and politicians fill their scholarship forms with their parents’ occupations as farmers; a terrible lie! The police whose duty is to cater to the smooth functioning of the society is terribly infested with the epidemic of looting and stealing. How then shall we move forward as a society?

Some people come up with mighty structures within no time after joining the service. There are a great lot of questions that arises in such instances. How did this people manage to put up structures? Carefully look at them, they will have terrible misery in their lives. They are dwelling in unsafe structures. They should not think that others are unaware. It is very much known to people.

The people of today are not mere fools. The curse of the society is the beginning of

us positioned ourselves as sinners who fall short of ‘PERFECTNESS’ but trust each other and rely on the leaders of the society, for they are the one to lead us in the right direction. Falling short of leading the people out of their sheer ill motive or selfishness to retain their living standard will surely be pulled down by own self identity. Therefore, cursing the leaders will lead the society into an everlasting doom of the society. A leaderless society cannot compete with other advances society having vision leaders in this global village scenario.

Back to the government, the meaning of governing the society is not just a mere administering of rules & laws. The administration and the government cannot be treated the same. The meanings of these two words had a vast difference in dealing with the people.

According to Abraham Lincoln, my government is for the people, by the people and of the people.

The government Abraham Lincoln emphasized on the welfare of the society by applying the minds of the leaders and the officers to supply the need and aspirations of the people for a better society.

In no where the govt. emphasized by him is to dictate the people to follow his footsteps out of forces.

Convincing the people for a better living is the sole object of the govt. when stick to the democratic norms. It is far from reality of the real govt. when the rulers under the aegis of the govt. vehemently imposed their mentality towards the society. By hook or by crock if the govt. rules the society applying the rules of law in matter of common interest of the society is equivalent to dictatorship. The Naga society right from time immemorial, never bow down to such forces and will never want to do so for maintenance of unique history and distinctive identity. Therefore, the govt. when opposed the mindset of the people cannot stand before the Naga society. This peculiarity of Naga society has been tested long before in one’s own life time.

For that matter brain washed Naga people are never afraid of external forces when applied in

Truth in the dustbin

the downfall of the victim.

They may do things hidingly but it will be manifested in their real lives’ situations.

We are in the 21st century, a century of reason. But this reasoning has the potentiality to divert people from the ideal that is hailed. Today, the confusions around us are all due to the lack of the ideal that is sidelined from the path which is very difficult to retrieve by people of this generation: A generation of shameless people who can sell off the other at the expense of the entire society. What a fool to have spent this short sojourn when one’s hours and days are counted and numbered?

Accumulating and earning names that will rot still seem to race through violent acts.

Some people still do not realize that they are cursed behind their back by the same people who smile at them to squeeze of their wealth: a generation of idiots!

General elections are once again round the corner, let’s all see what tricks are to be used by the baptized Christians who publicly make confession to do away with the evil ways. Clean election campaigns will do the round once again. They should not be for the external show. Every pastor of the church must tell the

congregation about the evil that the society of ours is confronting. Pastors should not fear the person who is contributing handsomely from stolen wealth. Pastors are the right people to tell their congregations. Clean election campaign must start from the grass root. It need not be by the people from the top hierarchy alone who had to tour round the state and waste time, money and energy for which the poor villagers will have to bear the expenses through collections.

People are already fed-up with collections and receiving empty envelopes!One of the reasons is due to their poor economic conditions.

Travelling in the cozy vehicle from village to village telling the people about the clean election campaign and accepting dishonest wealth from politicians will plague the society with even more terrible consequence. Every individual must be convinced that selling of one’s vote for the interest of the other is really a serious error. Pastors must not be too excited to receive donations by hook or crook from unaccounted wealth. This will be a very serious social evil!

With the fast competitive arena that has dawn, both in the religious and secular, the sense of sin is soon evapo-

Improvisation for better roads

oods roads is the life line for development and progress; the level and growth of any state starts with better road and better health facilities by their respective government, but this is not happening in our home state of Nagaland, it has become a wild and unfulfilled dream for we Nagas. Citizens had suffered, is suffering and will suffer untold hardship as long as the mindset of we Nagas in general the government and

the local contractors does not change their intransigent mentality like “who cares” attitude. And the master of all this misery starts with the government pick and choose policy (nepotism), it is the bonafide duty of a government to provide better road so as to have a vibrant economy as the road is the only way for effective transportation. The NCSU may find this article presume that their profession is being vilified, but this is one honest and simple truth

the society. Right now the division of social fabrics among the Naga population is being badly divided in choosing what is right and what is wrong. This resulted in many ‘isms’ from among the Naga communities. This is the reason why many factions even among the Naga national parties have been formed and fight for our own wishful thinking of Naga society betterment. Proper govt. is not formed till now to pay our allegiance to the controlling authority of the Naga society.

The Naga society is dwelled in a land full of Organizations, Associations, Councils and Hohos in the greater circle. Even a small matter when differences occurred; a parallel bodies is formed immediately to counter the parental bodies. The Naga Hoho, NTC, CNTC, NTAC, JCC, ACAUT, ENPO and GB’s Federation in apex body levels are actively functioning for the smooth conduct of the govt. but all these bodies turned into a staunch enemy of the Nagaland Govt. The NSF and ENSF are also working actively to check the govt. in their own line of interest in the student’s level too. The land of many unions and affiliations, setting aside recognized regional and National political parties also have less voice unless it comes to a common platform of understanding.

The more we have an understanding of each other’s points, the closer we are to have a feeling of oneness and togetherness but in the case of Naga society, the ego and pride problem is spear heading in controlling the society right from the village level to tribal level and extended to Nagas as a whole. We face such enumerable differences; fighting for the best game of individual.

The decoration of feathers on one’s own head is not lasted for a long period. Recognition and fighting for pioneership is also just a momentary period because of the fast changing society. But the worriness is the Naga society having love and concern for each other in the long run so as to pass the flaming torch.

so any work matters should not be given to the local contractor as we have seen enough horrible execution of works carry out by our local contractors. So an earnest appeal to the governor to kindly look into the matter for construction of four lane and to see that the contractor from centre should be given a chance so as to have a viable and long lasting road. Long live Nagaland road.

oday, at the age of postmodern technology, children’s are being raised in a society where computer based technology provides a faster and quicker means of communication, learning, links to commerce, as well as culture. If we see the present scenario here in our state Nagaland, most of the parents, children, students are unaware of computer education and its relevant fields. Computer has become a must in all educational institutions as the digital age has transformed the mind set of people and its work. As Kent Conrad said, “Access to computer and the internet has become a basic need for education in our society”.

So, to provide a deep and clear picture of how a computer is being programmed, how computer hardware’s are being maintained, how to apply computer to solve problems of real life situations with ease, Indian Universities has started providing a particular Computer Application Degree course .i.e. Bachelor Of Computer Application (BCA), and here in our state Nagaland, we are privileged to have this course in some institutions/university like Patkai Christian College.

BCA is a 3 years Under-Graduate course in the field of Computer Application. It is one of the most potential options to make a career in Computer Science & Information Technology (Csc&IT). After successfully completing BCA, a student can start his/her career as programmers, web developers/designers, System administrator, Junior Managers, entrepreneur and so on. The Government agencies such as Department of IT, NIC, schools etc. also recruit BCAs in good numbers. At the same time, one is equally competent for all competitive government exams such as UPSC, NPSC, SSC, defence, banking etc. Anybody, passing 10+2 with good academics and having sound mental aptitude is eligible for BCA. So, the aspiring students are challenged to take up this BCA course to experience, explore and to face the real world; for the future success is yours.

rating. The act of downing the other is already unfolding right before our eyes.

No prick of conscience is a matter of normal experience.

Survival is taking the lead and competition is the order of the day. Survivalists are mushrooming following the conventions not approved by the society. Religious leaders are not scared to utter lies in order to survive. Politicians can tell lies without a prick of conscience. Lay people accept cash and kind from politicians and complain about their own fate: A generation of senseless people indeed!

Many of the leaders of today do not like to serve but prefer to be served. Lust for honour and power cause a hell lots of problem. “I” becomes so very important that the other is almost nonexistent! False prophecies continue to skyrocket bringing in confusions and divisions for want of recognition and to get their agendas accomplished. A land where some people use the name of God and give instant answer to every problem as though they are suspended in the air above themand it continues solemnly. Well-educated people continue to fall prey.

Why? A desire for monetary gain and popularity!God is made a puppet to dance

according to one’s tune: A fearless generation indeed!

A person occupying the chair is with moral and social responsibility. It is not just power and recognition.

Unfortunately, even in the traffic congestion of our roads, people still love to use red beacon to tell the world that they are too special.

It’s all useless! A new law is soon coming where the use of beacons will be ineffective from first of May. What then will your identity be? Do you want to be honoured just because of your light or your personality?

Dear fellow citizens, let us rise up above the realities of the social evil plaguing us.

We are not the end of the generation. We are building the foundation of the world ahead of us. Let us learn to speak the truth. Let the desire for a brief recognition vanish. Appreciation and honour is given to the persons who deserve. It is given at the appropriate time.

Time itself will tell us. Let us learn to work behind the stage of life. Appearance and show-off is just momentary.

Let us not forget that there are so many people working behind the stage for our success:most of them are the throw away of the society.

Sir,

For the common welfare of all

Akhegwo is anguished towards the government for its failure and fully support the aggrieved teachers appointed under RMSA, who are denied of their rights by the department, despite their sincere service rendered towards the school. Without which, the smooth functioning of the school is impossible. The school becomes paralysed without these teachers (RMSA) and being the only high school in and around this area (Apoksha) the life of many students are at stake with this system.. Therefore, it appeals the concern authority to seriously ponder over the issues stated by the NRMSATA, for the common welfare of the people and students in particular.

NVCO alleges illegal taxation at check-gates DIMAPUR: Nagaland Voluntary Consumers’ Organization (NVCO) has alleged that several groups including Nagaland Police still collect cash/illegal taxation at Highway check-gates in the State.

Terming the illegal activity as a “nuisance” that causes long queues, NVCO Media Cell claimed that its president Kezhokhoto Savi had a firsthand experience on April 19 at Phesama check-gate where several handyman/drivers were reportedly seen giving cash to policemen.

According to NVCO, upon confrontation by Savi on the illegality of the act, the police was stated to have defended the action saying police don’t collect tax but the drivers/handyman gives it to them.

In its press note, NVCO highlighted that it had submitted a representation with detailed information to the State Government in 2006 to stop illegal collection of cash on highways especially at the check-gates.

NVCO went on to point out the nexus between various entities that makes illegal taxation a thriving business and a lucrative earning opportunity even for policemen.

The lapse that exists between passing orders and implementation was another concern voiced by the NVCO. Despite several deterrents like lifting up checkgates, issuing several or-

ders, calling Chakka Jam, bandh and dismantling of check-gates in Kohima district, NVCO lamented that such actions haven’t been effective in addressing the issue and the illegal activity thrives throughout the State.

NVCO said it had on several occasion requested the State Government to effectively execute the 2009 order issued by the Chief Secretary, Govt. of Nagaland whereby it stated that no collection of cash will be allowed in the check-gates or in any part of the highway including any organization or individual, government departments such as Police, Excise, Forest and Taxes departments, etc.

The Gauhati High Court, Kohima Bench had in 2014 dismissed 11 Writ Petitions and several unions/associations/federation including the Petroleum and Land Transport Workers Federation of India, Dimapur Land Transport Workers Union, Dimapur District Autoriskshaw Drivers’ Union, Dimapur Motor Workers Trade Union, Dimapur Auto Riskshaw Owners’ Union, Dimapur Truck Drivers’ Union, Dimapur Truck Owners’ Associations and The Motor Workers Association, Dimapur, were disallowed to collect cash on highways.

All these unions/associations were registered with the State government and their area of operation was within Dimapur

mostly lying on national/ state highways such as New Field Check Gate, Golaghat Road, Burma Camp, Dillai Gate, Old Khatkati Road, it stated.

However, the Petroleum & Land Transport Workers Federation of India having a Pay-Counter at Jakhama village above Loyola Higher Secondary School, Jakhama lying on NH – 29 is collecting cash till date, NVCO claimed, adding that few Manipuri Truck Owner’s Pay-Counters exists on NH-29 in Southern Angami area maintained by the local people.

“Nagaland is a state mushrooming with illegal collections of cash by unions/associations/ federations/police/public organizations/groups/ government agencies at the check gates and on highways which contribute to price-rise in the state and Dimapur, the so called commercial hub of the state is considered to be the most affected place,” NVCO maintained.

In this regard, NVCO informed had submitted representation to the State government including almost all the DCs to implement and effectively enforce the 2014 Gauhati High Court order so as to completely remove the illegal activity at checkgates and on highways by Nagaland Police, unions, associations, federations, public organization, government departments and several groups throughout the state.

New Delhi, Apr 20 (PTI): Labour Minister Bandaru Dattatreya Thursday said that the Finance Ministry has approved 8.65 per cent interest rate on EPF deposits for 2016-17.

The minister’s statement has laid to rest apprehensions among formal sector workers that they would get lower rate of interest than the 8.65 per cent approved by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation’s (EPFO) trustees in December last year.

The ratification of the 8.65 per cent interest on EPF will enable the retirement fund body EPFO to credit this rate of return into the accounts of four crore subscribers.

“Finance Ministry has agreed to 8.65 per cent rate of interest. Now, the communication will come. The formal discussions are over,” the minister said on the sidelines of National Safety Awards function. “We will immediately issue the notification and credit the rate of interest to over four crore subscribers,” he added.

“IT stocks’ recovery amid rupee giving away some of its gains, lent market support, while European markets’ rally ahead of French presidential elections also boosted sentiments,” said Anand James, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit Financial Services.

The BSE Mid-Cap index provisionally rose 0.66 per cent, while the SmallCap index gained 1.14 per cent. IT stocks, that had lost ground on disappointing quarterly earnings, recovered on value-buying at existing lower levels.

Infosys, which lost about 5 per cent since the company announced a lower-than-expected revenue guidance, recovered by 0.96 per cent to Rs 927.65, while TCS rose 1.16 per cent to Rs 2,328.35. Wipro too rose 0.36 per cent to Rs 500.

The memorial comprises life-size statues of three soldiers, and was built in 1922 in the memory of the Indian soldiers from three Indian princely states, namely; Jodhpur State, Hyderabad State and Mysore State who served present day Gaza Strip, Israel, Palestine during the World War I under British India Army.

The Bhavan was originally known as ‘Flagstaff House’ and was the residence of the Commander-in-Chief of the British Forces in India.

Teen Murti is actually a First World War memorial raised in the memory of those cavalry troopers of the princely states who fell in the line of duty. The three bronze statues on the memorial represent the Hyderabad, Jodhpur and Mysore lancers who were part of the 15 Imperial Service Cavalry Brigade during the Great War and who were later amalgamated into the 61st Cavalry after Independence.

New Delhi, Apr 20 (PTI): The oil ministry has denounced the decision of a section of petrol pump operators, mostly in South India, to keep outlets shut on Sundays, saying such a move will inconvenience the general public.

It took umbrage at the Consortium of Indian Petroleum Dealers using Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal of not using fuel for a day to help cut India’s import dependence, saying it was aimed at conserving fuel and not for petrol pump owners to remain shut.

Already, the All India Petroleum Dealers Association, which claims to represent 80 per cent of the 53,224 petrol pumps of public sector oil firms, has said it is not participating in the closure exercise.

Brokers said a mixed trend at other Asian markets after crude oil prices rebounded from an overnight sell-off and Japan reported stronger-than-expected exports in March bolstered sentiments.

Back home, mid and small-cap stocks attracted value buying after a weeklong consolidation, which added to the momentum.

The Sensex opened strong and shuttled between 29,453.06 and 29,341.68, before ending at 29,422.39, a gain of 85.82 points, or 0.29 per cent.

The barometer had gained 17.47 points in yesterday’s trade.

On similar lines, the 50-share NSE Nifty stayed in the green throughout the session and hit a high of 9,143.90, before closing at 9,136.40, up 32.90 points or 0.36 per cent.

All India Petroleum Dealers Association President Ajay Bansal told PTI that the association, which has nearly 46,000 petrol pump owners as members, are not participating in the closure.“Our members in 22 states are not going on any protests,” he clarified, adding that the association has called a meeting of the general body in the next few weeks to discuss the agreement PSU oil companies had signed with it in November last year to consider their demand for raising fuel margins.

Panamagate: Sharif gets reprieve from Pakistan SC

ISLAMABAD, APR 20 (PTI): Embattled Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif today got a temporary breather from the Supreme Court which said there was “insufficient evidence” to remove him from office but ordered setting up of a joint team to investigate the graft allegations against his family.

The high-profile graft case is about alleged money laundering by Sharif in 1990s when he twice served as the Prime Minister to purchase assets in London.

The assets surfaced when Panama papers last year showed that they were managed through offshore companies owned by Sharif ’s children.

A five-judge Supreme Court bench issued a landmark 540-page split judgement ordering setting up of a Joint Investigation Team comprising officials from different agencies including those from powerful spy agencies the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and the Military Intelligence.

The other agencies in the JIT include the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), and the Security and Exchange Commission of Pakistan.

The bench comprising Justice Asif Saeed Khosa, Justice Gulzar Ahmed, Jus-

international

Nagaland Post, Dimapur Friday, april 21, 2017

Nawaz Sharif tice Ejaz Afzal Khan, Justice Azmat Saeed and Justice Ijazul Ahsan also ordered 67-year-old Sharif and his two sons - Hasan and Hussain - to appear before the JIT. There is “insufficient evidence to remove Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif,” said the verdict.

“A thorough investigation is required,” Justice Khosa said, reading out from the highly anticipated ruling.

The JIT would be set up within a week. It will present its report before the bench after every two weeks and will complete its investigation in 60 days.

Justice Ejaz, Justice Azmat and Justice Ahsan wrote the majority judgment, whereas Justice Gulzar and Justice Khosa in their dissenting note branded Sharif “dishonest” and wanted to remove the Prime Minister as sought by the

petitioners.

Upon receipt of the JIT report, “issues relating to the disqualification of the PM may be taken up,” says the verdict.

The case filed by various petitioners — Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chief Imran Khan, Jamaat-i-Islami emir Sirajul Haq and Sheikh Rashid Ahmed — sought disqualification of Prime Minister Sharif over his alleged misstatement in his address to the nation on April 5, 2016 and his speech before the National Assembly on May 16, 2016.

The petitioners had claimed that the prime minister lied about the investments made by his children in offshore companies, which led to the acquisition of four apartments in London’s upscale Park Lane neighbourhood.

The case was launched on November 3 and the court held 35 hearings before concluding the proceedings on February 23.

The court also ordered that it was important to probe how money was transferred to Qatar.

Sharif had took the plea that London property was bought from the money earned after selling share in a company in Qatar and produced a letter by a Qatari prince.

The London properties

owned by Sharif ’s children are at the center of controversy.

In the verdict, the bench said that the NAB Chairman has failed to cooperate with the investigation, and the Director General FIA has failed to curb white collar crimes, necessitating the formulation of the JIT. Sharif ’s supporters hailed the court’s decision as a victory of justice.

“We have been vindicated as Prime Minister had last year asked to set up a probe commission to investigate Panama leaks scandal,” said Khawaja Asif, defence minister and close ally of Sharif.

TV footage showed Sharif embracing his younger brother Shahbaz Sharif who is chief minister of Punjab province.

His daughter, Maryam Nawaz, tweeted a photo of Sharif, his family and PML-N leaders celebrating the verdict with smiles and embraces.

Sharif is the only Pakistani politician who has the distinction of being the prime minister of the coupprone country for a record three times.

He had served as the Prime Minister from 1990 to 1993 and from 1997 to 1999.

Both of Sharif ’s first two stints had ended in the third year of his tenure.

Iraq forces retake more areas in west Mosul MOSUL (IRAQ), APR 20 (AGENCIES): Iraqi forces retook two more neighbourhoods in west Mosul Thursday, tightening the noose around jihadists holed up in the Old City, commanders said.

“The forces completed the liberation of Al-Thawra neighbourhood,” Sabah alNoman, spokesman for the elite Counter-Terrorism Service, told AFP. An officer with the federal police forces also deployed in west Mosul confirmed that the neighbourhood, which lies just west of the Old City, had been retaken from the Islamic State group.

The Joint Operations Command coordinating the fight against the jihadists nationwide said the Nasr neighbourhood was also retaken on Thursday.

Iraqi forces launched a huge operation, their largest in years, to retake second city Mosul, in mid October last year. They retook the side of the city that lies east of the Tigris river in January and launched a push on remaining IS fighters in wester n Mosul, which is more densely populated and has seen fierce fighting.On the west bank, Iraqi forces control southern neighbourhoods and are slowly surrounding the Old City, whose narrow streets are expected to make federal operations very difficult.

Russian, American twoman crew blasts off to ISS BAIKONUR (KAZAKHSTAN), APR 20 (AFP): A Russian and an American blasted off from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan today, the first two-person launch to the International Space Station in over a decade.

The Soyuz MS-04 spacecraft carrying veteran Russian cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin and NASA rookie Jack Fischer shot into the sky in bright conditions at 0713 GMT. Russian space agency Roscosmos said the launch had been successful and that the crew was expected to arrive at the ISS at 1323 GMT. Manned launches to the ISS usually involve three crew members. But Russian space agency Roscosmos announced last year that in the near future only two cosmonauts would be on board the ISS rather than three as has been the case in recent times. The agency explained it is seeking to cut costs on supply missions prior to the installation of a new module to expand the Russian section of the orbital lab at the end of 2017 or in early 2018.

Another Russian-American duo, Yuri Malenchenko and Edward Lu, undertook the last two-man mission to the ISS, in April 2003. Yurchikhin and Fischer are set to complete a five-month mission at the station and should join three astronauts, including NASA’s Peggy Whitson, on the orbital laboratory.

In an emotional interview with NASA TV, Fischer, a 43-year-old former US air force pilot, said he would be “thinking about Dad” as he enters orbit.

When dying from cancer, Fischer said, his father encouraged him to pursue his dream of becoming an astronaut.

Yurchikhin, 58, has racked up 537 days in space over the course of four missions to the ISS, more than any US astronaut but some way short of the 879 days logged by record-holding compatriot Gennady Padalka. Fischer and Yurchikhin will be on board the ISS to witness Whitson break the 534-

US President Donald Trump and daughter Ivanka Trump are expected to congratulate Whitson on her achievement in an Earth-to space call on Monday, according to NASA. Whitson also became the first woman to take charge of the ISS twice, having inherited command of the lab for the first time from Yurchikhin in 2007.

She will return to earth in early September with both Fischer and Yurchikhin after NASA decided to extend her stay in space by three months.

France’s Thomas Pesquet and Oleg Novitsky of Roscosmos will be the next members of the ISS crew to return to Earth, with a landing scheduled for early June.

BEIJING, APR 20 (PTI): China today successfully launched its first unmanned cargo spacecraft, taking another crucial step towards realising the Communist giant’s ambition to have a permanently manned space station in the next few years. Powered by a Long March-7 Y2 carrier rocket, Tianzhou-1 roared into the air from the Wenchang Space Launch Centre in the southern Hainan Province, state-run Xinhua news agency reported. Hours later, space department officials declared the launch a success, as it entered the designated orbit. In space, the cargo ship will dock with the orbiting Tiangong-2 space station, provide fuel and other supplies, and conduct space experiments before falling back to Earth.

C A R AC A S, A P R 2 0 (AGENCIES): Venezuela’s opposition called for renewed nationwide protests on Thursday to pressure the government of President Nicolas Maduro to hold elections and improve a collapsing economy, a day after three people were killed in similar demonstrations.

Hundreds of thousands of people flooded the streets of Caracas and provincial cities on Wednesday, the latest and largest in several weeks of protests against what Maduro’s opponents condemn as a lurch toward dictatorship.

Government officials dismiss the protests, characterized by street barricades and clashes with security forces, as violent and lawless efforts to overthrow Maduro’s leftist government with the backing of ideological adversaries in Washington.

The opposition counters that Maduro, deeply unpopular as Venezuelans grapple with triple-digit inflation and shortages of food and basic consumer goods, is seeking to stay in power indefinitely by barring opposition leaders from

Hindi retro music twist for ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ D isney India has acquired the rights of Bappi Lahiri’s popular song “Jhoom jhoom jhoom baba” to rehash it for a promotional video of forthcoming Hollywood film “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2”.

“Guardians of the Galaxy” brought classic songs back in style, and the second part of the 2014 film promises to live up to the expectations. The studio decided to pick the song from 1980’s film “Kasam Paida Karne Wale Ki” to be in sync with the film’s spirit. “’Guardians of the Galaxy’ are a super cool set of superheroes who believe in having a ball as they save the galaxy. As music is a dominant aspect of the movie, we thought it would be a great idea to revive a retro hit dance for the Hindi version,” Amrita Pandey, Vice President-Studios, Disney India, said in a statement.

She added: “After listening to some popular songs from 1980s, the team unanimously felt ‘Jhoom jhoom jhoom baba’ echoes the fun spirit associated with the Guardians. The song is about making the best of the moment and enjoying it,

just like these superheroes.

We hope the mash-up for ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2’ will be enjoyed by existing and innumerable new fans in India.” The song was released on Thursday.

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” is written and directed by James Gunn, and stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista.

It also features the voices of actors like Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper. It is releas-

ing on May 5 in India, in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

With the backdrop titled ‘Awesome Mixtape #2’,the second part of the 2014 film “Guardians of the Galaxy” will take further the team’s adventures as they traverse different cosmos to protect their world. This time, the storyline will explore family values and also unravel many family truths and mysteries.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur Friday, April 21, 2017

ruce Springsteen and long-time pal and collaborator Joe Grushecky are at it again, this time with a new passionate Donald Trump protest song called “That’s What Makes Us Great.”

The anti-Trump track

by Gr ushecky and the House rockers premiered on Sirius XM’s E Street Radio, and is now available for purchase on Grushecky’s website and streaming services.

Grushecky wrote the song around the time President Trump took office in January, he told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “[Trump] lost me the moment he started making fun of special needs people. How could a person like that be president of the United States?,” asked Grushecky, who has long worked with special needs children, calling Trump’s actions “appalling.”

Grushecky sent the song to Springsteen, who liked it, and then asked him if he wanted to sing on it.

Springsteen then “gave it the Bruce treatment,” Grushecky said.

During the Women’s March in January, Springsteen proclaimed himself and the E Street Band to be the “new American resistance” to a crowd in Australia, where they were performing. In 2016, he told Rolling Stone that “the republic is under siege by a moron.”

“That’s What Makes Us Great” targets various aspects of the Trump administration, including immigration and alternative facts. At one point, Springsteen sings, “Don’t tell me a lie / And sell it as a fact / I’ve been down that road before / And I ain’t goin’ back.”

Fans thought first ‘Star Wars’ was a joke: Mark Hamill

A

ctor Mark Hamill remembers when fans thought the first “Star Wars” film was a joke and says the audience laughed during the cinematic debut.

The 65-year-old actor, who starred as Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker in the three original sci-fi films, says fans made fun of the project when “A New Hope” hit screens back in 1977. “At the end of the trailer it said: ‘a billion light years in the making.

And it’s coming to your galaxy this summer.’ Somebody in the balcony yelled out: ‘yeah and it’s coming to the Late Show two weeks after that’,” he says.

“At the end of the trailer it said: ‘a billion light years in the making. And it’s coming to your galaxy this summer.’ Somebody in the balcony yelled out: ‘yeah and it’s coming to the Late Show two weeks after that’,” he says. The actor, who was at the screening with his now-late co-star Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia, says they both giggled with the crowd but adds that they were horrified.

Hamill recently returned to the ‘Star Wars’ franchise for the 2015 “The Force Awakens” and will be starring in the upcoming “The Last Jedi”.

apil Sharma and Sunil Grover, two actors, divided by their own show, but reunited by Sabse Bada Kalakar. The duo might not be seen together on The Kapil Sharma Show due to a rift after the mid-air fight between the two but they shot for Sony’s another reality show, albeit on different days and sets.

While one of the judges on Sabse Bada Kalakar, Boman Irani, went as a guest to The Kapil Sharma Show along with the kids from his show, the actor and his team turned hosts for Sunil for another episode. As a bonus, they also get Ali Asgar another actor who has been missing from Kapil’s show after the face-off. Ali will be playing nurse Laila to Sunil’s Dr. Mashoor Gulati on Sabse Bada Kalakar.

Comedian Sunil Grover, it seems, won’t stop teasing his fans, who were waiting for his return on The Kapil Sharma Show.

First turning up on Indian Idol 9 as Dr. Mashoor Gulati, and now taking his much-loved character to the set of Sabse Bada Kalakar, the actor is making sure that people don’t move on and forget him. This time, he has been joined by Ali, who has gone incommunicado ever since Kapil allegedly misbehaved with his entire cast and is said to have thrown a shoe at Sunil.

Ali, known as nani on The Kapil Sharma Show, will play nurse Laila on Sabse Bada Kalakar. The duo shot for the episode, which will air on May

French Open decision on Sharapova on May 15

Maria Sharapova

PARIS, Apr 20 (Agencies): Maria Sharapova will learn on May 15 whether she can compete at the French Open after her drugs ban, French tennis officials said Thursday, insisting the absence of pregnant Serena Williams would have no bearing on their decision.

Two - t i m e Ro l a n d Garros champion Sharapova controversially returns next week from a 15-month drugs ban at the WTA Stuttgart Grand Prix.

Stuttgart offered the 30-year-old Russian a wildcard entry because she no longer has a world ranking -- a move that angered

some players. Sharapova has also been invited to clay-court events in Madrid and Rome.

Whether she receives a wildcard for Roland Garros will be revealed just a week before qualifying begins for the May 28-June 11 Grand Slam.

French Tennis Federation (FTF) president Bernard Giudicelli said last month they faced a moral dilemma and hinted he was against it.

If Sharapova misses out the French Open will go ahead in the absence of the two biggest drawcards in the women’s game, with Williams announcing

Murray dumped out of Monte Carlo Masters Monte Carlo, ApR 20 (Agencies): Andy Murray has been eliminated from the Monte Carlo Masters at the third-round stage

by Albert Ramos-Vinolas.

The world No 1 has endured a difficult return to action in the Principality this week which ended with Ramos-Vinolas’ 2-6 6-7 7-5 victory.

An elbow injury had sidelined Murray since early March and, after missing Great Britain’s Davis Cup defeat to France, he debuted this year on the clay courts with an arduous win over Gilles Muller on Wednesday. But his progress would be scuppered just 24 hours later after defeat to the 15th seed in the first Masters 1000 of the year on clay.

Murray was broken seven times during a see-saw encounter with the claycourt specialist and was leading 4-0 in the final set before he suffered a spectacular collapse.

K Y M C

Wednesday the end of her season due to pregnancy.

“Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova are two unconnected cases,” said Giudicelli. “We’re staging a Grand Slam, not a casting.” If the FTF decides not to offer Sharapova a wildcard she still has a chance of making Roland Garros via the qualifiers, but for that route she must pick up enough points by winning or possibly even making the final in Stuttgart.

Sharapova, a five-time Grand Slam champion, had an initial two-year suspension by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) reduced to 15 months after she tested positive at the 2016 Australian Open for meldonium.

This was a medication the Russian had been taking when it was within the rules but which was later reclassified as a prohibited drug. The Russian takes to the tennis court next Wednesday -- the first day she is eligible to play, with some rivals disapproving of the Stuttgart decision.

“It’s a German tournament and we have so many good German players so this is a little strange,” said Germany’s world number one Angelique Kerber.

L o nd o n, A p r 2 0 (Agencies): Premier League clubs saw revenues rise to a record £3.6bn in 2015-16, according to Deloitte, but posted pre-tax losses overall. The revenues generated represent a £0.2bn increase from 201415 (£3.4bn), the business advisory firm states, with Manchester United and Manchester City responsible for more than half of the rise. United’s revenue grew to £515m, which saw them top the Deloitte Football Money League for the first time since 200304 as the world’s highest revenue-generating club.

The 20 English topflight clubs’ combined operating profits (excluding player transfers, net interest charges and the value of player contracts) remain at £0.5bn after wage costs increased by 12% to £2.3bn.

But after two consecutive seasons of pre-tax profits, the clubs were back in the red with pre-tax losses of £110m.

Dan Jones, partner and head of the Sports Business Group at Deloitte, said: “Our analysis reveals a return to pre-tax losses, following two consecutive years of pre-tax profits.”

Earlier, Hashim Amla’s classy hundred powered Kings XI Punjab to a competitive 198/4.

Playing shots that would delight the purists, Amla spanked all the Mumbai Indians bowlers en route his unbeaten 104 off 60 balls, which included as many as six sixes apart from eight boundaries.
