IBAPWO seeks Gov’s intervention

DIMAPUR, AUG 21 (NPN): Close on the heels of encounter between Army personnel and NSCN (K) on August 19, the International Border Area People’s Welfare Organisation (IBAPWO) on Sunday sought intervention of Nagaland Governor, P.B. Acharya to bring peace and development in the border areas.

In a press note, IBAPWO president Rhuletsu Whurr and general secretary Nokshom Konyak said that the Naga people living along the border in both side suffered untold miseries after the inception of Indian Independence and Nagaland statehood respectively due to ongoing conflict. Therefore, IBAPWO cautioned that the people living in border areas would not tolerate this burnt conflict.

At this stage, IBAPWO said people living in border areas needed peace and development such as “stability, basic amenities, road connectivity, education, health care but not War”. “Talk is important each in every issue, without peace there will be no solution. War is not an every solution”, the release stated.

IBAPWO also pointed out that four International trade centres identified by the government of India- Longwa, Chenmoho, Pangsha, Avangkhul and Mimi under Mon, Tuensang, Kiphire and Phek, have also become “war zone” instead of development. Due to too much of corruption and conflict, the land in border areas which were rich in natural resources could not be utilized economically, IBAPWO said.

Meanwhile, IBAPWO has also condemned the “emotional firing” at Chenmoho and urged the public not to panic since the situation was under control.

Acharya asks MLAs to adopt villages

Women ONLY SAVING GRACE; KEEPS INDIA’S FLAG ALOFT RIO DE JANEIRO, AUG 21 (AGENCIES): Three unassuming women became the redeemers for India at the Rio Olympics as the country concluded its campaign with some good, bad and ugly memories.

Defying all odds and showing killer instincts, PV Sindhu, Sakshi Malik and Dipa Karmakar became the unlikely heroines and saved the country’s pride from returning empty-handed for the first time since Barcelona 1992.

The trio notched a few firsts for India; Sindhu, at 21, became the youngest to win an Olympic medal, a silver which was never achieved in badminton; and Sakshi’s bronze was also a first for women’s wrestling. India’s first female gymnast Dipa went on to miss a bronze by 0.15 points but her clean finish in the highrisk Produnova vault won the hearts of a nation.

Lalita Babar became the second Indian woman to qualify for the final of a track event at the Olympics in 32 years (PT Usha being the previous one in Los Angeles 1984) and finished 10th in the 3000m steeplechase.

An 18-year-old golfer Aditi Ashok slipped away from being in top-10 at the end of second round to finish 41st with an overall score of sevenover 291.

But there were some ugly moments as well, when wrestler Narsingh Yadav was

PV Sindhu

Sakshi Malik

slapped with a four-year ban by the Court of Arbitration of Sports which overturned the clean chit given by the National Anti-Doping Agency.

The dope shame had returned to haunt India again, even as Narsingh claimed innocence. The grappler cried conspiracy but was evicted from the Games Village.

In more off-field controversy sports minister Vijay Goel’s entourage was called ‘rude’ by the Organising Committee, which threatened to cancel his accreditation for trying to bring non-accredited people at the accredited areas of venues.

Indian athletics contingent’s middle and long distance coach Nikolai Snesarev was “detained” at a local police station for half a day and later released by the police after a lady doctor at the Games Village made a complaint of misbehaviour. Far away from home, India’s Independence Day

celebration also made news for all the wrong reasons when the players were served merely peanuts in the programme hosted by the Embassy of India in Brazil and Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sport.

Competing in 15 disciplines with their biggest-ever contingent numbering 118, India hoped to go past their best ever tally of six medals in London 2012. But the country stumbled on a tricky road in Rio when shooters fired a blank for the first time since Athens 2004, and boxers lacked punch, also a first in eight years.

Tennis continued to have its share of controversies when Leander Paes, an 18-time Grand Slam doubles winner making a record seventh appearance, turned up late for the men’s doubles campaign with Rohan Bopanna.

Later, it was the mixed doubles pair of Sania and Bopanna who lifted India’s medal

hopes before losing to the Czech duo of Radek Stepanek and Lucie Hradecka in the bronze play-off. It was a flop show in archery as Deepika Kumari once again failed to live up to the hype and made some costly blunders as the much-fancied women’s team made a quarterfinal exit losing to Russia in a shoot-off.

The biggest disappointment was in shooting which had earned India two medals in London 2012, a historic individual gold by Abhinav Bindra in Beijing 2008, in their total count of four medals from the last three editions but they drew a blank in Rio. World No.3 Jitu Rai provided the biggest hope to open India’s medal tally in the 10m air pistol on the second day.

With the clock ticking away, a sensational Sakshi came from behind with a threepoint move to clinch the issue as her opponent challenged for a review and heartbeats started pounding. The decision went in India’s favour and it was an overflow of joy and emotions as Sakshi was lifted by her coach Kuldeep Malik and the duo took a victory lap.

The next day, Sindhu first ousted world number 8 Tzu Ying Tai in the pre-quarters and world number two Wang Yihan in the last eight but only to be halted by world number one Carolina Marina in a riveting women’s singles final lasting one hour and 24 minutes.

P.B. Acharya interacting with Neiphiu Rio.

DIMAPUR, AUG 21 (NPN): Nagaland governor, P.B. Acharya has appealed to all the elected MLAs to adopt a village or two in their own constituency. According to a press release from PRO to governor, the governor made this appeal when Lok Sabha MP, Neiphiu Rio met him at Raj Bhavan on August 19, and apprised him on the development projects taken up at Selouphe village,

Dimapur, which was adopted by the former under Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAJY) in November 2014.

Quoting the Indian President that “India is a country of villages,” Acharya stated that village development was the development of the whole country. In this regard, he urged all the MLAs to develop the villages and empower the villagers. The release also stat-

ed that Rio had adopted Longwa village in Mon district as his second village under SAJY as suggested by the governor.

Accordingly, the traditional Angh’s house had been renovated under SAJY and Rio invited governor to inaugurate in the month of October, 2016, the release stated.

It may be noted that SAGY was initiated to bring the Member of Parliament of all the political parties under the same umbrella while taking the responsibility of developing physical and institutional infrastructure in villages and turn them into model villages under this scheme. Each MP has choose one village each from the constituency that they represent, except their own village or their in-laws village and fix parameters and make it a model village.

ACAUT condemns assault; hits out at govt

DIMAPUR, AUG 21 (NPN): ACAUT Nagaland while condemning the “mindless” assault on a Naga trader on August 19, allegedly by a GPRN/NSCN member, has hit out at the state government for its failure to protect the citizens. ACAUT media cell in a press note accused that the government did not care for the life and security of its citizens; and that the citizens were left to fend for themselves by taking the law unto their own hands.

The media cell demanded the state government to immediately arrest the culprit(s) involved in the assault. It pointed further out that the incident was not the first time that members of business community had been assaulted.

Such incidents have taken place in the last several years, it added.

However, ACAUT said it was unfortunate that the state government failed to condemn or

offer condolence to the victims, media cell said.

Therefore, media cell said it expected condemnation from the home minister and the chief minister on the incident. ACAUT also asked the Naga business community under Naga Business Association Kohima (NBAK) to rally around the victim and ensured that under no circumstances the FIR filed against the three factional culprits be withdrawn.

Meanwhile, media cell said that the August 12 incident at Wokha should be a wake-up call for the state government and the district administration. It stated that “no self-respecting Deputy Commissioners can allow the existence of a parallel authority called town commanders”. Further, media cell said that it was unacceptable that the Deputy Commissioners instead of cracking the whip on these “parallel authorities” was giving space to the so-called town commanders.

‘Child bomber’ kills at least 51 in Turkey

No compromise over violence in Kashmir: Govt

J ammu / S rinagar , Aug 21 (Agencies): As unrest continues in Kashmir, the central government outlined its priorities on Sunday, asserting that there will be no compromise with those indulging in violence.

Acknowledging that the situation in Kashmir was “serious”, Union minister Arun Jaitley said those indulging in stone-pelting in Kashmir are “not satyagrahis but aggressors” who target police and security forces but some people with limited vision cannot see this. Jaitley also said the country’s unity was being challenged and Pakistan was again at war with India “using new methods” to incite violence in the Kashmir Valley, reported Hindustan Times.

“A new serious situation has arisen. Pakistan and various other forces are involved in it, and the country’s unity has been challenged once again,” Jaitley said, adding people of Jammu and Kashmir should jointly fight the aggression.

For more than a month, the Kashmir Valley has been rocked by protests that broke out after Hizbul Mujahideen militant Burhan Wani was killed in a gunfight with security forces on July 8.

People seen gathered at the bombing site.

GAZIANTEP (TURKEY), AUG 21 (AGENCIES): A suicide bomber aged between 12 and 14 carried out the attack on a wedding party in the Turkish city of Gaziantep on Saturday that killed at least 51 people, the president said.

The attack was the deadliest in a series of bombings in Turkey this year, and President Tayyip Erdogan said Islamic State was likely behind it.

“Initial evidence suggests it was a Daesh attack,” Erdogan said in Istanbul on Sunday, using an Arabic name for the hardline Sunni Islamist group.

He said 69 people were in hospital and 17 were “heavily injured”. A destroyed suicide vest was found at the blast site,

officials said. Islamic State has been blamed for other similar attacks in Turkey, often targeting Kurdish gatherings in an effort to inflame ethnic tensions.

The deadliest was last October, when suicide bombers killed more than 100 people at a rally of pro-Kurdish and labor activists in Ankara.

Saturday’s attack comes with Turkey still in shock just a month after Erdogan and the government survived an attempted coup by rogue military officers, which Ankara blames on U.S.-based Islamist preacher Fethullah Gulen. Gulen has denied the charge.

The pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) said the wedding party was for one

of its members. The groom was among those injured, but the bride was not hurt.

The bomb went off as guests spilled out into the streets of the city close to the Syrian border after the traditional henna night party, when guests have their hands and feet painted.

Women and children, including a three-month-old baby, were among the dead, witnesses said. Blood and burn marks stained the walls of the narrow lane where the blast hit. Women in white and checkered scarves wept outside the morgue waiting for word on missing relatives.

“The celebrations were coming to an end and there was a big explosion among people dancing,” said 25-yearold Veli Can. “There was blood and body parts everywhere.”

“We want to end these massacres,” witness Ibrahim Ozdemir said. “We are in pain, especially the women and children.”

Hundreds gathered for funerals on Sunday, with coffins draped in the green of Islam. But some ceremonies would have to wait because many victims were blown to pieces and DNA tests would be needed to identify them, security sources said.

SWD agrees to take NPRAAF’s demand DIMAPUR, AUG 21 (NPN): Social Welfare Department (SWD) at the joint meeting with Nagaland Public Rights Awareness and Action Forum (NPRAAF) on August 19, has “agreed” to seriously take up the issues raised by latter and “fix responsibilities”, claimed NPRAAF in a press statement on Sunday.

At the meeting, the department was represented by director including five senior officials while NPRAAF was represented by its president and six officials, the release stated.

The demand put up by the NPRAAF included -that those non-functioning NGOs should be identified and ceased from funding.

NGOs should be mandatory to submit annual activities report and funds received on any form from the department and that NGOs receiving grants should be informed through an official letter and media by the department giving them at least 45 days to collect the grant.

Department should also specify the reason on disproportionate funding of NGOs through notification and that funds should be disbursed strictly on guidelines set by the government of India and that no special committee should override the standard norms as in the past.

NPRAAF also wanted that all grant

should be disbursed through an account payee or direct transfer to the beneficiary NGOs current account by the department.

On the registration of NGO, the forum demanded that registration from the home department alone should not be the criteria to qualify for grants.

Instead, it asked the department to spell out other eligibility criteria so that fairness and optimum utilisation of the grants could be maintained.

Department has also been asked to maintain transparency on the eligibility criteria of NGOs receiving special funding.

The forum demanded that any NGOs ceasing to receive funds from the department should be notified the reason of its ineligibility or continuance of funding and not abruptly stop without assigning reason.

Further, for better coordination, the forum demanded that annual meeting of all the funded NGOs with the Social Welfare Department should be convened.

Meanwhile, NPRAAF appreciated the director social welfare, T. Merangtsuba Aier for taking action against one of its staff for deducting percentage from Grant -in- Aid (GIA) of the NGOs. K Y M C

NSA seminar on ‘alternative politics: new vision, new path’

Professor Yogendra Yadav with the scholars at the special talk.

DIMAPUR: Naga Scholara Organization (NSO) organized a special talk on the theme, “alternative politics: new vision, new path” at JNU, New Delhi on August 19, with professor Yogendra Yadav, an intellectual as invitee speaker.

A press note by NSO president, Dr. Zuchamo Yanthan stated that the speaker built his arguments on three points while espousing that the idea of India founded on the republic was under serious threat and needed renewal with new politics.

Prof. Yadav pointed out three points on what is this idea of India? Why is this idea of India facing a crisis? And the practice to renew the crisis.

He said that India was built on three pillars of democracy,

diversity and development and none of these three principles originated in India.

He was of the opinion that before India became democracy it was not common to think that democracy could be practiced in conditions of deep deprivation and lack of education. India is the first country in the world that made possible for “us” to think that democracy could be genuinely globalised. The speaker was of the view that India was the place where the idea of homogeneous nation was finally put to rest. The idea that the modern nation states can be built in the condition of diversity was India’s contribution to global world. The speaker said that there was now sharp erosion in the politics and vision of

India, with modern Indian political thought that constitute the living inspirational ideas having dried up. He observed that India needed energetic and imaginative politics that could bring together victims of growth.

The session was chaired

by Prof.Aditya Mukherjee from JNU who is a renowned historian and well known professor across Indian and abroad.

President of Naga Scholars’ Association Dr.Zuchamo Yanthan, started the session by welcoming the participants and resource persons. The rapporteur of the session was Dr. Rembemo Odyuo, an academic councillor, IGNOU. The special talk ended with a vote of thanks by Lovitoli Zimo, vice president of NSA.

Sahay had also said that the NDFB-S was desperately recruiting boys aged below 18 to replenish losses it has suffered due to ongoing counter-insurgency operations.

“We have identified several areas in these Bodo districts where the youths were being recruited by the NDFB-S. We have counselled these youths and sent them back to their parents. The police are taking special initiatives to control the recruitment drive by the NDFB-S,” he added.

“It is a matter of concern because youths being recruited for the militant group are even school-going students who get influenced due to various reasons, including poverty,” Sahay said.

N e w D e lhi , Au g 2 1 (IANS): Assam Police have suggested that skill development centres be created across the Bodoland Territorial Area District (BTAD) to keep youngsters away from militancy, a top police officer has said. The plan, which is in it’s initial stage, was conceived by the Assam Police after ideas were sought internally to tackle the recruitment of youths by the National Democratic Front of Bodoland-S (NDFB-S) faction in recent months.

“Stopping recruitment in NDFB area is not easy. We are trying to reach out to the people in far-flung villages of these areas. The challenges are many,” Assam’s ADG of Police L.R. Bishnoi told IANS. “On the request of the Special Branch of Assam Police, I have suggested the creation of skill development centres in the Bodo areas. Fifty different villages have been

identified for this. If this becomes successful then possibly we can stop the recruitment of youths by this NDFB-S,” Bishnoi added. Bishnoi, who is also in-charge of railways and the BTAD, said the list of 50 villages has been already submitted to the police department, which, after proper analysis, will take it forward with the government.

“Through these skill development centres the tribal youths in these (BTAD) areas can be engaged in various types of constructive work. If this initiative succeeds, we can also have local skilled workers from the state itself,” said Bishnoi.

“As per the plans, the youths will be trained in computer science, handicrafts and plumbing, among several other disciplines,” Bishnoi said.

The BTAD consists of four contiguous districts Kokrajhar, Baksa, Udalguri and Chirang. Kokrajhar was

“Therefore, active involvement of our women parliamentarians in the process will result in a greater responsiveness towards citizen’s needs and will lead to greater harmony, meaningful development and inclusive growth,” Ms Mahajan remarked at the valedictory session of BRICS Women Parliamentarians’ Forum.

She also stressed on inclusiveness in development to make it sustainable and effective while underlining the role of laws and legislations to achieve sustainable development. Noting that the members of parliament are a better interface between citizens and government, the Lok Sabha Speaker said, sustainable development can be brought about by this interface and also through laws and legislations.

“Development must be inclusive if it is to be equitable, sustainable and effective.

“Therefore mainstreaming equity is vital for ameliorating the socio-economic conditions of people within the framework of sustainable development,” she said, while pointing that women have natural instinct towards development and progress.

Talking about the Sustainable Development Goals, she said that the 17 goals and 169 associated targets have the potential to transform the future.

Sumitra Mahajan “It must be our endeavour to achieve these goals in our own interest and in the global interest as well. As law makers, it is our responsibility to oversee and monitor the implementation strategies and mechanisms of the SDGs put in place by our respective Governments,” she noted.

Ms Mahajan said climate change affects humanity as a whole but developing countries also have their own challenges to deal with.

India, China ‘spar’ over NSG seat at BRICS meet

Instead of focusing on sustainable development goals (SDGs), the two-day summit of women parliamentarians from BRICS nations, which began in the city on Saturday, witnessed a barely concealed war of words between India and China over membership in the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), and digressed into subjects such as combating global terrorism.

The Indian delegates reiterated the country’s demand for membership in the elite NSG as China pressed for a broader role in international forums. The strained relationship between the two nations, after China blocked India’s entry into NSG recently, was on display at the meeting held at Vidhan Sabha.

During her address on ‘Perspectives on implementation of

SDGs,’ Wen Ma, the head of Chinese delegation and chairperson of the International Judicial Affairs Committee, argued for China’s bigger role in international affairs, proportionate to the country’s clout in the world.

Her remarks didn’t go down well with the Indian side which said that the nation had enough clout and deserved NSG membership.

The two nations have been at loggerheads since India failed to book a seat in NSG. The summit meant to discuss the role of women parliamentarians in achieving SDGs also deviated into discussions on terrorism. A representative from Brazil raised the issue and said that BRICS should work towards countering terrorism.

I think it’s a brilliant idea and we should all work together,” said K Kavitha, MP from Telangana.

“We represent 43% of the global population.What happens in these five nations will be high on global agenda. So working to combat terrorism is very important,” she added.

Delegates also discussed issues such as gender equality , climate change, women empowerment and participation in politics along with topics of common concern for all five nations.

According to many Indian delegates, BRICS had lot to offer. “A total of 40% of the business in China is run by women entrepreneurs. In Brazilian parliament, women account for 45% of members while in India it is only about 11%.There are a lot of positive things to be picked up,” the MP said.

At the end of the summit, delegates will pass a resolution including the main points discussed over two days. This is will be part of the agenda at the BRICS summit scheduled in October.

Amit Shah on of freedom of expression Mangaluru, Aug 21 (PTI): BJP President Amit Shah said on Sunday nationalism was being questioned in the name of freedom of expression and “propaganda” against nationalism could not be considered as freedom of speech.

“It has become a fashion for some people nowadays to question nationalism. This is being done in different places and new theories are being planted.

“Nationalism is being questioned in the name of freedom of expression,” he said, addressing a gathering at Mangalore University auditorium as part of BJP’s ‘Tiranga Yatra’ and ‘Balidana Smarane’ (honouring martyrs) campaign.

Shah said: “Some people were also campaigning on social media on whether nationalism was necessary or not”. He said he would like to tell them that independence would not have taken place if there was no love for the national and patriotism.

“The propaganda against nationalism could not be considered as freedom of speech,” he said.

“The entire nation should unite to uphold patriotism.

Freedom fighters like Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev and many more sacrificed their lives for the country,” he said.

Shah appealed to the youth to read the history of the country and understand how many people sacrificed their lives for it.

The programmes were being organised to pay tribute to the freedom fighters, to inspire the youth to follow in their path and to remind the youth that the independence the country achieved was because of the sacrifice of lakhs of people, he said.

“This should be an inspiration to the youth to live their life for the country. To live for the nation was the message of this Yatra,” he said.

Dhaka attack Gulen outfit in India, must be mastermind was in removed: Mevlut Cavusoglu India: IS operative

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu seen here in this Friday picture with his Indian counterpart Sushma Swaraj in New Delhi.

New Delhi, Aug 21 (PTI): Fethullah Gulen Terrorist Organisation (FETO), blamed for last month’s failed coup to topple President Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey, has “infiltrated” India, according to Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.

Asserting that FETO “is a secretive transnational criminal network” with presence around the world, Mr. Cavusoglu said: “Unfortunately, FETO has also infiltrated India through associations and schools.”

‘Taken it up with Sushma’

In an interview to PTI after holding talks with his Indian counterpart Sushma Swaraj, the Turkish Foreign Minister also said, “I have already taken up this issue with my counterpart.”

The visiting Minister said, “In all countries where FETO has a presence, we ask them to take immediate actions to remove them from their territories.” Asked for a response to the

Gau Raksha chief arrested New Delhi, Aug 21 (PTI): Gau Raksha Dal chief Satish Kumar was arrested from Vrindavan after being booked on charges of sodomy, rioting and extortion among others.

SSP Gurmeet Chauhan on Sunday confirmed his arrest but did not provide any details.

Police sources said he was arrested last night from Vrindavan where he was hiding after he was booked on charges of abduction with intent to hurt, wrongful confinement and other sections of the IPC a fortnight earlier.

The case was lodged on August 6 two years after a video went viral showing Gau Raksha Dal members brutally thrashing people.

Satish was also booked under Section 377 of the IPC which criminalises unnatural sex after a youth from Saharanpur alleged that he was abducted and sodomised by Satish’s goons.

“Now another Uttar Pradesh resident has told investigators that he was sodomised

by Satish,” the sources said.

The victim from Saharanpur had told a judicial magistrate that Satish, Bablu and 10—15 others had forcibly taken him to a cow shelter in Rajpura where he was sodomised. “Also, some goons had urinated in my mouth,” he alleged. Another victim had told the police last week that he was detained by the self-styled cow vigilantes, robbed and tortured.

He also alleged that he was sodomised by Satish.

Minister’s comments, External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup said the Indian side “is sensitive” to Turkish concerns and Indian security agencies were “looking into” Ankara’s demand for closure of associations connected with FETO which were carrying out illegal activities. Asserting that terrorism, in all its forms and manifestations constitute a threat to India and Turkey, Mr. Cavusoglu said, “Therefore, exchange of information regarding these threats and bilateral and multilateral cooperation and solidarity against terrorism is crucial.”

“This is what both Turkey and India are focused on,” he said. Talking about last month’s coup attempt, the visiting dignitary said that a clandestine faction led by FETO within the Turkish Army attempted to stage a coup on July 15 to overthrow the democratically elected government.

Lauds Sushma’s “prompt support” “We appreciate the

prompt support to our democratically elected government by my Indian counterpart, External Affairs Minister Swaraj,” Mr. Cavusoglu added.

More than 240 people died and over 1,500 others were injured as a fallout of the failed coup. Mr. Erdogan had blamed U.S.-based cleric Fethullah Gulen for the attempted coup last month. Mr. Gulen currently lives in self-imposed exile in the U.S.

‘Syria of concern’

The Turkish Minister also expressed concern over the situation in Syria, maintaining that his country was directly impacted by every dynamic of the conflict there.

He also asked the international community to work together to bring about the much-needed political transition in Syria. “This is not only a prerequisite to end the conflict, it is also essential to effectively fight terrorism,” the Minister asserted.

NE W D E L H I , Au g 2 1 (Agencies): The mastermind behind the Holey Artisan attack in Dhaka and the murder of English professor Rezaul Karim at Rajshahi university is fugitive Jamaat-ul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) leader Mohammed Suleiman, a key Islamic State operative held in India has revealed.

Indian national Mohammad Masiuddin alias Abu Musa has told his interrogators that the April 23 killing of the professor and the July 1 attack on the upmarket cafe in Dhaka were linked to Suleiman, this is the first time such a claim has come to light, reported TOI. Musa also told investigators that Suleiman who had asked him to carry out ‘lone wolf ’ attacks on foreigners in India travelled to Kolkata two days after the professor’s murder and stayed at a hotel and was accompanied by another yet to be identified person associated with the jihadi outfit and IS. Agencies are trying to ascertain whether the person staying with Suleiman was Abu Ibrahim Al-Hanif alias Tamim Chowdhury, the emir (chief) of Islamic State (Bangladesh). Bangladesh has already expressed apprehension that Suleiman and CanadianBangladeshi Tamim could be hiding in India. Sources said Musa’s latest revelation gives credence to Bangladesh’s suspicion that Islamic State leaders associated with JMB used India as a “hideout”. The photographs and other details have already been shared by Bangladeshi authorities with their Indian counterparts. Top IB sources said according to Musa, the JMB leader works under a different name in Dhaka and was personally involved in the murder of the 61-yearold professor. The IS, through its media arm Amaq Agency, had claimed responsibility for the killing of the professor for “calling to atheism”.

Kashmir trust asks govt ‘not to play politics’ over Amnesty event Bengaluru, Aug 21 (PTI): The Kashmiri Hindu Cultural Welfare Trust today asked the Karnataka government “not to play politics” over the incident in which anti-India and anti-Army slogans were raised at an event organised by Amnesty International.

Chairman of the Trust R K Mattoo said those who shouted ‘Azadi’ and antinational slogans should be identified and booked under the law to prevent such incidents in future. “I appeal to government of Karnataka not to play politics in this as the whole incident is of national security and anti-national forces raising their heads. Nip the evil in the bud please and do not allow this to spread to other parts of our dear nation ...Have a Heart and do not play politics,” he said.

“Interestingly, the Karnataka government has chosen to

give a clean chit to Amnesty International even as a probe into the sedition charges (following an FIR by the ABVP) is underway,” he added.

Yesterday, the state Home Minister G Parameshwara had said Amnesty International India has never involved itself in any kind of anti-national activities. “... I have not heard of Amnesty International being involved in any seditious activity so far,” he had said.

Mattoo said Amnesty International should come out openly and condemn the “slogan shouting at the function organised by them and own the responsibility for the same... It (Amnesty) cannot take shelter under freedom of speech and at the same time ignore the responsibilities under the Constitution.”

Mattoo, a Kashmiri Pandit, accused Amnesty International of being selective in its

protest against human rights violation and urged the NGO to publish a report on the “human rights violations and atrocities perpetrated by Lashkar-e- Taiba, Hijbul Mujahideen and its followers like Burhan Wani.”

“Their reports should focus on the Sikhs under threat by separatists in the Valley and the victims in Shopian incident, where more than 2,000 Kashmiri Pandit employees were tortured and forced to flee and their reports should reflect on the bloodbath and terror unleashed by separatists in the Valley,” he said.

He also demanded “imposition of ban on Amnesty International in India which has till date focused only on so called human rights violations by armed forces in Kashmir and totally ignoring killings of Kashmiri Pandits, security forces and role of terrorists in the valley.”

India’s loosening frabic

B

an on cow slaughter and beef consumption have become extremely contentious issue laws becoming stricter in many states across the country and what prime minister Narendra Modi described as “anti-social elements by night the cow vigilantes by day” is a hard-hitting statement. However, the fact is that after the BJP came to power with a massive mandate, anti-beef syndrome gravitated into a phenomenon. Just when anti-beef ban turned into a communally divisive and controversial issue in 2015, union minister of state Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi (himself a Muslim and married to a Hindu), had said those who wanted to eat beef “can go to Pakistan”. This highly provocative and communally divisive remark was taken head-on by his colleague union minister of state for home Kiren Rijiju, who asked , that as an Arunachalee and one who ate beef, could anybody stop him? Rijiju reiterated that eating habits were beyond other’s domain in a democratic country and such statements were not palatable. The Centre’s hawkish policy had not gone down well with North East BJP leaders who backed Riijiju and slammed Naqvi. These included then sports minister and present chief minister of Assam Sarbananda Sonowal, Meghalya state BJP unit president Khlur Singh Lyngdoh and then Nagaland state BJP chief Dr. M. Chuba Ao. After video clip of four Dalits in Una Gujarat were chained beaten and paraded to the Police station; a shocked parliament condemned the atrocity. With UP elections due next year and where Dalit votes play a crucial role, a visibly moved prime minister slammed the so-called cow protectors whom he described as “anti-socials”.

The focus re-strengthening ban on cow slaughter and consumption seem to have given these cow protectors (Gau rakshaks) legitimacy even to lynch a person in Dadri in 2015. Also some transporting cow for whatever reasons, were either killed or badly beaten up and even forced to eat cow dung.

Ironically right after Prime Minister Narendra Modi described cow protectors in Una as “anti-socials”, two BJP workers were brutally done to death allegedly by VHP and Bajrang Dal activists for transporting cows in a vehicle. These vigilante groups have mushroomed around the country. They are prone to taking over the role of law-enforcers, and meting out instant justice to whoever they apprehend ferrying cattle, regardless of whether these were sold and purchased legitimately. VHP leader Pravin Tagodia slammed Modi for describing Gau Rakshaks as “anti-socials” and accused the latter of making antiHindu remarks. The reaction from the VHP against the prime minister besides being a surprise also revealed how the inner working of the Sangh and BJP drive the vehicle of power. The prime minister, after being in power for two years has realised that India is totally different from Gujarat and the art of statecraft demands a balanced view. India is among the few countries where religion and caste are openly flaunted for political gain. With the statements of Sadhvis, Sakhis and Yogis the atmosphere of hate towards minorities saw a peak of communal hatred and divisiveness. The rise of anti-beef eating, love jihad or irrational thinking only damage and weaken the values of Indian democracy and principles of Indian Constitution and atmosphere of amity nurtured

by Indian ethos for centuries. If Modi wants to truly be one who will be remembered for decades, he will have to prove what he has been saying.

Chinese $ 46 b Pak corridor a bloody move

hunjerab means “Valley of Blood,” which locals, on the northern border of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in Gilgit-Baltistan, Hunza-Nagar areas that connect Kashgar in the southwest border of the Xinjiang region of China, attribute to the bandits who once preyed on caravans on what used to be one of the main crossing points on the Silk Road.

It is a high mountain pass in the Karakoram Mountains and is becoming bloody economic-strategic problem for the Indian sub-continent.

Even the Pentagon sees this as emergence of a new Sino-Pak strategy to destabilize the region. China aims at gradually becoming a dominant force to subjugate if not destabilize the economies of the region.

Sino-Pak bilateral trade has reached around $ 18.9 billion that indicates growing economic partnership between the two countries. China also proposes to invest $ 46 billion in port, Khunjerab-Rawalpindi highway, telecom, energy, infrastructure and industry as part of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). This sum

would be a good $15 billion more than the US has pumped into Pakistan since 2002.

It aims at expanding Chinese influence in the region through allowing access to the western markets through the Gwadar port being set up in the trouble torn, poverty stricken region of Balochistan. The Balochs are opposed to it and see at as a tool for increasing suppression and changing demography of this fragile region. It is said that the strategy is devised by China on the model of Tibetan autonomous region.

China is the largest investor for Pakistan and the Chinese government is encouraging its companies to invest in Pakistan, says Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan Sun Weidong.

India is aware of the problem. Prime minister Narendra Modi’s Independence Day speech virtually referred to this reality when he mentioned about Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Balochistan. India has not endorsed CPEC. China during its talks with Indian leaders has expressed its concern a number of times.

In reality, the geo-strategic mistakes committed by the first prime minister Jawaharlal

VK Singh stated that while India had raised its concerns regarding CPEC, that it was still awaiting a response from China.

Despite Indian objections, China and Pakistan initiated works on the $44 million Pakistan-China fibre optic project on May 19, 2016 which will pass through GilgitBaltistan.

The Balochs also are raising their voices. Political violence is threatening Chinese engineers and projects. They fear that these infrastructure projects would cause mass displacement of local populace.

Modi has raised the pitch of protest through the I-Day statement. The pitch in many ways have to be made shriller.

Modi speech is also being seen as tactics to leverage China pressurise Pakistan keep off J&K. India has to develop new strategies to jeopardise CPEC. If it is allowed to succeed, it might lead China to encircle India and hit the economic efforts. It would help boom Chinese exports and also give a boost to Pakistan economy.

India needs to act in many ways to stall it. It has already

ensured that Bhutan does not agree to resolve the 4500 km border dispute with China.

Bhutan has also not agreed to having diplomatic ties with China, which, however, is pursuing Bhutan to hold talks in Beijing.

The CPEC would hit India’s exports. Even now India has severely adverse balance of payment of $ 44.7 billion.

India’s exports are mere $ .7.56 billion in 2015-16. Imports are whopping $ 52 billion.

India needs to act economically, strategically and politically to stop CPEC. It is not easy to reclaim lost territory but it needs to be orchestrated diplomatically at all international fora. If India has to keep its supremacy in the region, it cannot allow new strategic alliance succeed. China wants now a cool Indo-Pak border so that it can send its products also through the western borders.

Modi has given a signal.

The region waits to see how it is turned into a reality to stop the Chinese long march and give a short shrift to Pakistan so that Khunjerab meets a natural death and it cannot prey neither on Indian economy nor its territory.

Post-mortem The politics of women reservation Do away with tribalism

phesians 4:13 ‘Till we all come to the unity of faith and the knowledge of the Son of God to a perfect man’. A perfect man..

Let us fforget about India.

It’s a long way run. But put a force, a focus in Nagaland. Because, before being and Indian, we are all Nagalimi.

A perfect Man.. We hardly see good. Our world is so materialized. Everybody is rushing for the money and the fame.

Sometimes, or maybe most tines I weep with Wordsworth, Blake, Whitman, Shelly and many more. I weep because sometimes I find myself a victim in our hustle and bustle code of life.

And sometimes I find myself going on with this leading corruption. Our life itself is being a politics. As we turn around, we see conflicts, fights and dramas on tribalism issue in Nagaland.

Nagaland is a land of festivals, of happiness, of great bonding and of great love. But at the same, a land of selfish people and selfish tribe for selfish fame.

James 1:5, (lacking wisdom) we are intellectuals. Yet we only study ourselves, for our future. But who cares to study for the family, for the society, for the world. As intellectuals, we often have debates on corruption. But my dad says “No man can promise to bring an end to this”. We just talk about tribalism, about corruption, its impacts and causes but we our-

selves are inviting it in our life, in our society. You know, with tribalism our society will crumble down but with unity, our society will prosper.

Our land Nagaland is a very small. People does’nt know where exactly is Nagaland. At least Manipur, people knows because Manipur is known for Mary Kom. But Nagaland people does’nt even know that it do exist in India. As England, Scotland, people may think Nagaland is another ‘Land’ country but unknown to the world.

This March 5 incident, it shock the whole world. In the past decades, our ‘Great ancestors’ have done many good deeds for the world, during these time struggles of the world, they have shed their tears and blood but nothing such was ever recognized. Forget about the world but our mother India, we were never ever pleased. But that our one move incident on March 5, 2015, broke the BBC record.

The world began regard us as barbaric But no, we can prove this wrong because we are no longer in our barbaric state. We are Christians, people of God and the past is history. We are on a revolution, being responsible for the future of Nagaland. For it lies in our hand, in your hands.

It is very painful, the most penetrating feeling when we realize that the people of Nagaland goes abroad, take degrees, be

extraordinary qualified, educated wow.. but what, they comes back home and still stays, “I will only marry my own tribe women to promote our (my) culture and heritage”. Oh people, what is the education for when you can’t get off from your conservative mindset. Why are you so brainwashed?

What is that education for when you yourself tribalism in Nagaland.

You are educate, we are suppose to educate our uneducated friends and society. They why this? We are Nagas, in us there flows of unity, of brotherhood.

We are all brother and sisters.

No tribe is superior or inferior.

Everyone is equal in God perfect eyes. Then who are you to bring this difference? We are suppose to be land of peace and love. We Nagas together fought against colonial powers and Indian armies in our history, And we still do it when circumstances applies, Our present is nothing to be compared to our Naga Sag. I have pain in my heart for my land. And it is so painful to realize that, yet I lay motionless; not moving. I have pain that, I don’t know.. that I could ever do something but I really, really want to. All now I do is write this message. As I believe, the word itself has its power. I hope the words have sword the ‘ism’ of society.

DailyDevotion Imagine if God sleep for a few seconds?

The Ministry of the I Unnoticed Blessed are the poor in spirit… —Matthew 5:3 The New Testament notices things that do not seem worthy of notice by our standards. “Blessed are the poor in spirit….” This literally means, “Blessed are the paupers.”

Paupers are remarkably commonplace! The preaching of today tends to point out a person’s strength of will or the beauty of his character— things that are easily noticed.

The statement we so often hear, “Make a decision for Jesus Christ,” places the emphasis on something our Lord never trusted. He never asks us to decide for Him, but to yield to Him— something very different. At the foundation of Jesus Christ’s kingdom is the genuine loveliness of those who are commonplace. I am truly blessed in my poverty. If I have no strength of will and a nature without worth or excellence, then Jesus says to me, “Blessed are you, because it is through your poverty that you can enter My kingdom.” I cannot enter His kingdom by virtue of my goodness— I can only enter it as an absolute pauper.

The true character of the loveliness that speaks for God is always unnoticed by the one possessing that quality. Conscious influence is prideful and unchristian. If I wonder if I am being of any use to God, I instantly lose the beauty and the freshness of the touch of the Lord. “He who believes in Me…out of his heart will flow rivers of living water” (John 7:38). And if I examine the outflow, I lose the touch of the Lord.

Who are the people who have influenced us most? Certainly not the ones who thought they did, but those who did not have even the slightest idea that they were influencing us. In the Christian life, godly influence is never conscious of itself. If we are conscious of our influence, it ceases to have the genuine loveliness which is characteristic of the touch of Jesus. We always know when Jesus is at work because He produces in the commonplace something that is inspiring.

t is absolutely obvious that God will never sleep even a single second. Since God is the creator, He is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient. Twenty four hours day and night He is working and looking after His creation. The earth never exists without the knowledge of God. God is everywhere, his grace and love is present in every human heart. Yes, the question if God sleeps for few a seconds seem to be ridiculous but I personally ask this question to know the busiest works of God. This is a philosophical question that no one can answer precisely about what things will exactly happen.

Whereby, when I asked this question to my lecturers and my fellow friends they gave different opinions. Some says that when God sleeps for a few seconds the earth will change upside and down (Ulta Puta) in the sense the wicked people will turn down the world. Some says God give us the human will power so human being can look after the earth even though God sleeps for a few seconds. While other says the earth will remain and function as it is, since the universal law of God will remain constant.

It is a debatable question asking is God the controller of this universe?

Many people said yes He is, on the other hand some said He is not.

Therein, no one knows the realistic works of God. In spite of controversy, I strongly believe that he is the controller of this universe.

In the Oxford Dictionary the word sleep is defined as “To rest with the eyes closed and the mind and the body not active”. The God that refers is the “God of the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit”. Yes it is absolute that God is an infinite being and He cannot be described like human being having eyes, mind and body. But this is the perception that assumes if God is like human being. For the assumption if God is like human being and fell asleep for a few seconds then imagine the active works of God will

be completely put to rest. His presence will be totally stopped. The powerful work will become powerless because sleeping person doesn’t have strength to defeat the awakening one. The cognition will absolutely stop from discerning what is right and wrong.

In this way the forces of evil power can intervene and conquer the whole world. Everything will be completely under control by his power since Satan is the prince of this world. As the Bible said human beings are powerless without the spirit of God therefore one cannot defeat the enemy without His spirit.

The authority over the Satan will be diminished. The human will power will be rheostat by the devil. The humans mind can be directed under the guidance of the devil, therein, the despicableworks can happen all around the world. Million and millions of life will be taken away. The entire world can be full of destruction since the works of Satan is only for destruction, killing, hatred, war and so on. The wicked will overpower the righteous. There can be a massive blast around the entire world. Astonishing works can happen without any consciousness.

This is transcendental question trying to guess and perceive about God nature with limited knowledge.

Realizing that God’s grace and love is present for everyone even though people are so ignorant about His presence. The spirit of God is working spontaneously without any rest. Thereby every Human being should realize that God’s presence and guidance is on for twenty four hours extending help to the one who needs help and sees every abomination works of human beings but passionate to forgive and forget. His love never fails to anybody. Thus, He is a busy God and hence human being must wake up and start working with Him in full swing for the common good.

ooking at the recent development and debate on the 33% for women reservation in urban local bodies in Nagaland we are witnessing a turbulence whether reservation is justify for women or as some have argued not the right time for implementation to empower women.

Despite amid obstructive theatrics from various corners against the bill, the Government of Nagaland decided to implement 33% reservation for women.

A French Philosopher by the name Jean-Jacques Rousseau quotes “Man is born free; and everywhere he is in chains”.

In this quotation Rousseau explain that people deserve to be free but that they are chained by the societies in which they live.

For Rousseau, a society may legitimately coerce its people only when they agree to be ruled by that society and increased their safety and cooperation. The governance of our Naga tribes is the society and is it the legitimacy for society the end in itself justifies the denial of individual freedom for personal development. I should say, to be a part of the society and be within its whole is needed for an individual but it should not restrict any individual progress and development for a better society as society is an association of association.

History has shown men denying women the so called Equality. Our religion, our organisations and all countries at certain point of time have deprived women of their due. Women are suppressed and ill-treated. Even the urban elite women too feel they are discriminated as they are not allowed to play a significant role in the decision making in public affairs. Women reservation quota is one aspects of women voice calling for equality not to make them equally with men per se but venturing out what is due to be given.

It is no doubt that women possess exceptional qualities that men don’t possess. These qualities are crucial for bringing progress and wellness not only in our family but also in any society. And if the society lacks progress and wellness, it is because women have not been allowed to play the role they are created for.

Our Naga society is generally regarded as liberal but behind the veil women are suppress through various form of discrimination. It is the uniformly and strongly chauvinistic mindset that has provided a resistance for women participation in the political process. It is high time that we give opportunity for women to participate in the politics of Nagaland and consider as a tool to improve representation of the marginalised society. Moreover, to empower women it can be achieve only through their active participation in the political process and not making them an outsider and observer of the politics. It is only then a vibrant Naga society will exist where gender equality is expressed and it is extremely vital as it will know the views of both the sexes to develop an egalitarian society.

We need to overcome gender prejudice and it is only through such kind of affirmative action the best way to usher social and gender justice. Moreover, it is time for women to be more vocal and to take ownership of their own destiny. In the end, I would like to rephrase Shri.

C.K. Prahalad views on ‘perception on the poor’ with respect to women “If we stop thinking of Naga women as inferior or as obstacle and start recognising them as resilient and creative women and value conscious humans, a whole new world of opportunity will open up”.

Why Indo-Naga political issue must be settled at the earliest

(From previous issue) NE is the gate way for the India to look east. The major hurdles that India faces to take forward the East and Far-East nations mobilisation is buried in NE. Once India succeeds to clear this way successfully with the confrontations faced at the region, it will not only serve the east ward policy and the internal security problems, but also signal a clear message to the neighbouring nation’s perception on the claim over some part of the NE region. India capabilities to take the global stage will have to go these tests.

But to prove this, some of the state interests have to be sacrificed for the greater cause of the country. For many decades, so far, no political party have dared to cross the line of party interest on this ground.

Indian Further Growth Potentials North East India is also one of the most richly deposited natural resources in India, yet the region continue to be one of the most undiscovered land till today. Crore of rupees are poured into the region for various development works. But as the state government management to take control of the state administration, has to go with the parallel government of the regional insurgencies. Thus, the growing progresses of most part of the region are at stagnant. The development prospects of the NE were always derailed with the fund diversion to many unknown allocations apart from the interference of developmental projects at every junction. This has led to rampant corruption among the government personnel as well. Therefore it is an urgent call that the GoI settle the hurdles of these regional problems. NE India can be a wonderful tourist destination domestically as well internationally once the situations are settled to normalcy. The unbound natural beautifies, different tribals traditional practices which are

still intact in many places in these areas which have attracted many European anthropologists in the 19th centuries. This is also the meeting point where the South East Asian meets the Far-East countries. But the prevailing situations has silence any investment from both the public and private sectors.

India’s strength to demonstrate in tackling the internal issues and its capabilities to commend the global political leadership, the issues of the NE India has much to be measured in which Central government has not shown much interest for many decades. Of course, questions such as how Naga’s insurgencies have served as the mother sources of the regional insurgents resuscitation? Can the GoI content or do away the other regional rebellion groups with the settlement of the Naga’s political issue? Among many others, these are some apprehensions that people with knowledge of NE Indian problems are very sceptic about. NE insurgents groups are interlinked at a point or the other

in spite of their different claims from each state government to which no one can deny. Yet Naga’s issue has its genuineness which the GoI have even recognised as ‘unique’ in 1998.

Also at the global support point, the Naga’s right for self-determination have gone internationally. To make an amicable solution with the Nagas may not be the immediate answer to content the other insurgents operating groups of the region. But if, given the willingness on the part of the GoI, the NE regional problems with arms conflict will be weaken of its own.

To arrive at the Naga’s long standing problem, is therefore not the question of ‘should’ or even ‘needs’, but it is the matter of MUST for the India as well as for the North East region from the internal necessities and at the global political forums.

Reader’s Post Sir,

Summer woes

Electricity is the most essential component to sustain the life of a state and people residing therein. The current power fluctuations and erratic supply of power in Dimapur in the recent months has send the temperature of the citizens soaring high with no respite from the escalating heat and the current de-escalation of power supply in Dimapur is creating havoc both in the lives of the people as well as the business community, which is largely hard hit. Power in Dimapur has become like a person attending to a sick patient not knowing what will follow next. The apathy of the department towards power restoration may only add Power Woes ! and the restrained mood of the public, if triggered may add more Power woes to the Power department!

Venkaiah Naidu

on oneness in nation. “The remarks are like the pot calling the kettle black. It is the Congress party which has preached, practiced divisive politics in the country in last 50 years and it has always encouraged fundamentalist forces and communal elements. It has thrived its politics on caste, region and religion,” he alleged.

“It is divisive politics coupled with vote bank politics practiced by Congress that has brought our country to the present situation,” Naidu alleged.

“It is the appeasement politics of Congress that has widened the divide between majority and minority, though nothing worthwhile has been done to minorities...and it is the legacy of the Congress regime that has complicated the Kashmir issue,” he said.

“Don’t raise an accusing finger against the BJP, it will

boomerang on you. You have played vote bank politics; you never bothered to bring unity in the minds of the people; you have ruled the country for more than 50 years and ruined the country. How dare you criticise our ideology, you have no moral right to do that,” Naidu said.

Questioning Congress on what social harmony that the party has brought in all these years, Naidu asked who is responsible for the present state of affairs right from the practice of untouchability, to social disharmony amongst the people. “It is your politics, it is your divisive agenda which is responsible for the present situation,” he said.

“Our government came to power only two years back, we are steadfast working hard. The Prime Minister has brought in social security and we are trying to bring social harmony. We are focusing on oneness in nation and we are focusing on development and good governance by uplifting the poorest of poor, which is out priority,” Naidu added.

Alleging that Congress is silent on ISI, but violent on RSS, the former BJP president said, “You are hard on nationalists and soft on terrorists...that has been your line and now you try to criticise us forgetting what has been said by your leader.”

He further said, “On is-

sues relating to foreign affairs, we should all be extra careful, that means the country has to speak in one voice. But Congress itself is speaking in many voices.”

“I expect the Congress party to be more mature in responding to such situations where the unity and integrity of the country is involved and particularly dealing with terrorists and their sponsors,” he said. “We should not fall prey to the tactics of our neighbour. Some of the statements made by Congress leaders may be music to Pakistan’s ears, but people of India are not willing to tolerate,” he said accusing Congress of being “consistently inconsistent” on critical national and international issues.

Accusing the Congress of sympathising with forces that celebrate and try to make icons of Kashmiri separatists, Naidu said, “You (Rahul) went to JNU to express solidarity with sympathisers of terrorists Yakub Memon, Makbul Bhat and Afzal Guru and others who always tried to wreck the country and its constitution, challenge the unity and integrity of the country.”

“Now you are sympathising with Amnesty International, who has provided a platform where divisive slogans and anti Indian slogans were raised.

Mishap averted after SpiceJet Those who held power in Kashmir aircraft comes close to Emirates now adding fuel to fire: BJP NEW DELHI, Aug 21 (PTI): A mid-air mishap was averted due to an auto generated warning after a SpiceJet aircraft came in close proximity of an overflying Emirates plane in the Indian airspace.

The incident which occurred on August 11, involving SpiceJet Hyderabad flight from Chennai (SG 511) and Emirates’ Dubai-bound Brisbane flight (EK 433), is currently being investigated by the aviation regulator, DGCA sources said.

Earlier this month, a mid-air collision between two IndiGo planes, carrying over 225 passengers and crew, was averted over Dhaka airspace after the pilot of one of the flights steered away his aircraft to a safe distance when they came perilously close to each other.

According to sources, SpiceJet flight SG 511 was cleared for 34,000 ft and advised to standby to climb further. “ H oweve r, S G 5 1 1 climbed above the permitted

level without clearance. It was then asked to maintain 35,000 ft but the aircraft overshot by a 1,000 ft, a level that EK 433 was maintaining,” they said.

This forced the Emirates flight to climb further and increase separation, with both the aircraft receiving TCAS alert, sources said.

TCAS monitors the airspace around an aircraft for other aircraft equipped with a corresponding active transponder, independent of air-traffic control, and warns pilots of the presence of other transponder-equipped aircraft which may present a threat of mid-air collision (MAC).

“Emirates can confirm that flight EK433 Brisbane to Dubai on August 11, whilst in Indian airspace, received indications of proximity traffic. The flight crew correctly followed the on board system guidance to remain clear, following which they reported the occurrence to Air Traffic Control. “At no time were passengers in any danger.

The safety of our passengers

and crew as always is our top priority,” Emirates said in a statement.

However, according to SpiceJet sources, the ATC instructed it to climb and maintain 36,000 ft due to traffic at 37,000 level but “while passing flight level 35,000, ATC instructed the pilot to stop climb. By that time the aircraft had climbed to 35,400 feet. Our flight descended back to 35,000, and during which SpiceJet aircraft got descend resolution advisory.”

Sources at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation said that the incident is being investigated and would soon be handed over to the Airprox Investigation Board (AIB).

Pakistan challenging India’s unity, says Jaitley Jammu, Aug 21 (IANS): Holding Pakistan responsible for ongoing unrest in the Kashmir Valley, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Sunday said India’s unity has been challenged and the forces behind it need to be defeated.

NEW DELHI, Aug 21 (Agencies): Accusing opposition parties of Jammu and Kashmir of trying to stoke the ongoing unrest in the Valley, BJP on Sunday said it was “unfortunate” that those who held power for long and are responsible for the problems in Kashmir, are now “adding fuel to the fire”.

A day after a delegation of parties, including National Conference and Congress, led by former chief minister Omar Abdullah met President Pranab Mukherjee and hit out at the Centre for not acknowledging that the Kashmir problem was “political” in nature, BJP said the meeting was nothing but a “photo-op exercise”.

“It is very unfortunate that those parties who were long in power and due to whom the Kashmir problem persists, are now adding fuel to the fire there. Their meeting with the President was nothing but a photo-op exercise,” its national secretary Shrikant Sharma said. Congress had boycotted a meeting called by home minister Rajnath Singh during his visit to Kashmir.

Both NC and Congress did not attend the August 15 ceremony in Srinagar in which chief minister Mehbooba Mufti hoisted the national flag, he noted.

“There is a need for all political parties to speak in one voice to foil the conspiracy of Pakistan which is primarily responsible for the unrest,” he said as he urged them to cooperate with the official efforts to restore peace in the Valley.

“People know that it is mistakes of first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru which are behind the Kashmir problem,” he claimed. Sharma also targeted separatists and their sympathisers, saying they send their children abroad while encourage strife in the Valley which has destroyed the tourist season and hit the common man hard. “There is anger among people against them,” he claimed.

Leaders of opposition parties from Jammu and Kashmir led by Omar Abdullah on Saturday knocked at the doors of President Pranab Mukherjee, requesting him to urge the Centre in finding a solution “politically”.

Singh said he was “victimised” by Singh “with the sole purpose of denying promotion to the appointment of Army Commander”.

The affidavit had been filed by Dalbir Singh in his “personal capacity” when he was not the army chief, nor was Singh a minister.

The old affidavit was resubmitted by the present army chief after the matter came before the Supreme Court.

V.K. Singh slapped a discipline and vigilance ban on Dalbir Singh between April and May 2012 for alleged “failure of command and control” in an operation in Assam’s Jorhat in 2011.

The ban was lifted in June 2012 after General Bikram Singh succeeded V.K. Singh as the army chief.

Dalbir Singh was then appointed commander of the army’s Eastern Command.

Sushma to visit Myanmar today

New Delhi, Aug 21 (IANS): In the first high-level visit from India after Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) assumed power in Myanmar earlier this year, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj will visit the eastern neighbour on Monday. Sushma Swaraj will be calling on Myanmar President U Htin Kyaw and hold discussions with Aung San Suu Kyi, State Counsellor and Foreign Minister of Myanmar. The discussions are expected to focus on the bilateral content of the relationship as well as plans for the upcoming outreach summit of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) and the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (Bimstec) in India. According to the External Affairs Ministry, the day-long visit reaffirms India’s commitment to heightened

Five held after shootout with police in Delhi New Delhi, Aug 21 (IANS): At least five persons, who were wanted in several criminal cases, were arrested here on Sunday morning following a shootout with the police, an official said.

A Delhi Police constable and two of those arrested received bullet injuries in the gun fight that took place around 10.15 a.m. in west Delhi’s Rohini Sector-24 area.

“Two of those arrested -- Sudhir and Vijay -- and one policeman Pradip received bullet injuries,” Deputy Commissioner of Police Vikramjit Singh told IANS. Pradip sustained injury in his thigh, the official said.

Another police official close to the investigating team told IANS that the other three accused were identified as Sanjay, Farman and Sunny.

The officer said the police laid a trap and intercepted the criminals when they were moving in their vehicle near Begumpur check post -- a few metres away from the shootout spot.

partnership with Myanmar in areas accorded priority by the new government of Myanmar.

India and Myanmar share close relations with a development cooperation programme in areas such as agriculture, information technology, human resource development, infrastructure development and culture. During the visit, Sushma Swaraj will be accompanied by Foreign Secretary S. Jaishankar and other senior officials of the Ministry of External Affairs.

India and Myanmar reviewed the entire gamut of bilateral issues during the 15th round of Foreign Office Consultations here earlier this month including high-level visits, security and defence-related issues, boundary matters and border management, trade and commerce, development cooperation, connectivity, cultural and consular matters.

Javadekar for giving IITs, IIMs accreditation body status PUNE, Aug 21 (PTI): Union Human Resource Development Minister Prakash Javadekar on Saturday said the government will float an idea to enable IITs and IIMs become accreditation bodies so that burden of the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) will be eased.

“Currently we have only NAAC as an accreditation agency and there are over 38,000 colleges and 700 universities in the country and on yearly basis 800 to 100 educational institutes are being assessed by NAAC,” Mr Javadekar said while interacting with students at the Indira Group of Institutes in Pune. “Thus, we are going to float an idea in which Indian Institute of Technologies (IITs) and Indian Institute of Managements (IIMs) will be

asked to become accreditation bodies so that there will be multiple choices in front of the institutes and accreditation will be completed in limited time and we can go for more quality education,” said the Minister.

Asked despite having quality institutes, Indian institutes lag behind in global ranking, he said at the global level while ranking the institute, 40 per cent weightage is given to perception.

“We have to fight a perception battle as there are two major rankings - Time and QS and in both the rankings, 40 per cent weightage is given to perception ... how your institute is perceived world over, so we have decided to use our alumni, Indian diasporas, we will use many things to build up that perception,” the senior BJP leader added.

Agra, Aug 21 (IANS): Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati, launching her party’s election campaign from Agra -- considered the Dalit capital of north India -- lashed out at the Narendra Modi-led BJP government for “atrocities” on Dalits and failing to fulfill promises made before the Lok Sabha elections.

The Uttar Pradesh assembly elections are expected to be held some time in February 2017.

Addressing a mammoth rally at the Kothi Meena Bazar ground, Mayawati targeted Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat for asking Hindus to produce more than two children. The Centre can not take care of two children, who will provide for more, she wondered.

Mayawati said the Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government was soft towards capitalists. It had failed to bring back black money from foreign countries as promised.

The BJP-led government, she said, was deliberately expanding the private sector to hit the Dalits who were being denied benefits of reservation. She was particularly harsh on the issue of cow slaughter and so-called “love jehad”. Mayawati said the BJP was trying to capture power in Uttar Pradesh by circulating lies.

Only after these three bodies recommend the DV Ban can the process be initiated,” Swamy said in a statement here.

“The most recent attempt to slander General Singh (retd) is for the vigilance inquiry ordered against Lt. General D.S. Suhag in May 2012,” the Bharatiya Janata Party leader said.

Hyderabad, Aug 21 (PTI): A day after Rahul Gandhi’s veiled attack on the BJP and Sangh Parivar, Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu today blasted him saying one who expresses solidarity with extremists, fundamentalists and communalists was trying to preach about the unity of the country despite having “no moral right” to do so.

Terming Rahul’s remarks as “the pot calling the kettle black”, Naidu also lashed out at the Congress and said its politics of appeasement and vote bank has widened the divide between majority and minority. He also asked why the party has encouraged fundamentalist and communal forces.

Holding Congress responsible for complicating the Kashmir issue, the senior BJP leader accused it of being hard on nationalists, while going soft on terrorists.

Yesterday, while addressing a function in New Delhi, Rahul had made a veiled attack on the BJP and the Sangh Parivar, saying there are forces which are “promoting” disharmony and are seeking a “divided and divisive” India. Taking a strong exception to the remarks, Naidu said the Narendra Modi-led government was trying to bring social harmony and focusing

New Delhi, Aug 21 (PTI): As a growing power, India has a role to play in meeting the challenge of terrorism, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has said as the two countries agreed to upgrade their security consultations.

Assad made the assertion during a meeting with Minister of State for External Affairs M J Akbar when the latter called on him yesterday during his Syria visit.

“There was an agreement between both sides for further upgrading security consultations,” the sources said. However, the sources did not mention the level to which they have been upgraded to.

During the meeting, Assad also welcomed India’s objective position on the conflict in Syria and both leaders acknowledged that terrorism was a global problem, sources said.

“As a growing power, India has a role to play in meeting the challenge of terrorism,” sources quoted Assad as saying.

On his part, Akbar, during their meeting, said the age of destruction should give way to the age of reconstruction in Syria.

Assad also invited India to play an active role in the reconstruction of the Syrian economy.

Both leaders agreed that as secular nations, India and Syria believe in faith equality.

New Delhi, Aug 21 (Agencies): Amid row over an affidavit filed by Army Chief General Dalbir Singh, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Saturday came out in support of Union minister VK Singh.

BJP leader Subramanian Swamy has claimed that the minister was “continuously being targeted by certain corrupt forces” unhappy over his role in preventing illegal kickbacks in weapons purchase.

The Rajya Sabha MP also urged the government to take steps to protect V.K. Singh, a former army chief, from “this paid slander campaign, since being a minister he cannot defend himself in a slugfest with the present Chief of Army Staff ”.

NEW DELHI, Aug 21 (PTI): In a customerfriendly move, public sector lender Punjab National Bank (PNB) has made locker visiting facility free for its customers.

Earlier, the customers were allowed 12 free visits at lockers in an year.

Now, the PNB locker holders can make any number of visits in an year without paying any additional cost. The new rule has been put in place since August 1, 2016. “It is a customer-friendly move. The new rule has been put in place so as to encourage customers,� a bank official said. “With this, PNB has become the first public sector bank to make locker visiting facility free for its customers,� the official added.

PNB used to charge customers Rs 50 per visit after the limit of 12 free visits in an year.

Banks in general charge customers to visit lockers beyond a permitted level in an year. “We are getting a very good and positive response from our customers. Particularly, the women customers are really happy with the free locker visit service,� the bank official said.

As per PNB locker operational guidelines, a high risk lessee is required to operate the locker at least once in an year while medium risk lessee at least once in three years. “Non-operation of locker within the stipulated period may lead to breaking open of locker, irrespective of the fact that rent is paid by locker hirer regularly,� PNB said.

dition of five such aircraft would mean the need for about 70 pilots.

In June 2011, the Mumbai-based airline had placed an order with European aviation major Airbus for 72 new A320 neo aircraft valued at about Rs 32,400 crore on list price.

Besides, the carrier inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Airbus for another 72 A320neo aircraft at Farnborough International Airshow in June.

Earlier this month, GoAir received approval of the government to fly to nine countries including Iran, Uzbekistan and Kazakhastan. It expects to start international operations from the next summer schedule which generally spans from the last Sunday of March and extends to the last Saturday of October.

GoAir would be the first Indian private carrier to fly to any CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States). CIS countries for which the carrier has got flying nod include Uzbekistan, Kazakhastan and Azerbaijan.

New Delhi, Aug 21 (PTI): GoAir plans to hire 500 personnel, including pilots, in the coming months as the budget carrier prepares to expand its aircraft fleet and fly overseas next year.

Gearing up to implement its ambitious expansion plans, the Wadia group carrier is looking to have 26 aircraft by end of March next year from the current fleet strength of 21, a senior official said.

The airline’s CEO Wolfgang Prock-Schauer said plans are on for listing and it would happen at the “right time�. “We will expand our fleet by up to 26 aircraft by the end of March next year. We need to build up for the expansion that we are going for. Every aircraft (inducted) needs 100 increase (in manpower) approximately.

So we will naturally hire,� he told PTI. This would translate to hiring requirement of at least 500 personnel, including a significant number of pilots.

At present, GoAir’s head count is around 2,300, Mr Prock-Schauer said.

GoAir has 21 Airbus A320 aircraft, including A320neos which are more fuel-efficient.

Generally, an Airbus 320 plane needs maximum 14 pilots for its operation, with seven commanders and an equal number of first officers.

Syrian wounded boy’s brother dies

Beirut, Aug 21 (AFP): The older brother of the little Syrian boy, who was pictured sitting in an ambulance dazed and covered in blood after an air strike, died from wounds sustained in the attack on the family’s apartment, a monitoring group has said.

“Ali, aged 10, succumbed to his injuries. He was badly wounded in the same bombardment as Omran on August 17 in Aleppo,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said yesterday.

The haunting images of four-year-old Omran, sitting in an ambulance after the attack, his face, arms and legs caked in blood and dust, have reverberated around the world, becoming a symbol for the suffering of children in Syria’s brutal five-year conflict.

In video footage from the incident, Omran is seen quietly staring into space before raising his arms to touch his bloodied forehead, then looking at his hand and wiping it on the orange seat.

Omran, his siblings

5-year-old wounded Syrian child Omran Daqneesh sits alone in the back of the ambulance after he was injured during air strikes targeting Aleppo. and parents were all plucked from the rubble wounded, but alive, following Wednesday’s bombing on the Qaterji neighbourhood in rebel-held east Aleppo.

The Aleppo Media Centre, a network of activists in the divided northern city, confirmed Ali’s death in a video yesterday.

The images of Omran have sparked a global outcry, much like the photo last Sep-

tember of three-year-old Syrian boy Aylan Kurdi, whose body washed ashore on a Turkish beach as his family tried to reach Europe.

More than 290,000 people have been killed since Syria’s conflict broke out, including nearly 15,000 children.

Omran’s home city Aleppo has been divided by government control in the west and opposition fighters in the east since 2012.

South Korea warns of possible N Korean assassination squads SEOUL, Aug 21 (Agencies): With tensions also high before a large-scale South Korea-US military exercise starting Monday, the Unification Ministry in Seoul said Pyongyang was bent on provocation. (AFP File Photo) South Korea warned Sunday of possible North Korean assassinations and kidnappings in revenge for recent high-profile defections to the South.

With tensions also high before a large-scale South Korea-US military exercise starting Monday, the Unification Ministry in Seoul said Pyongyang was bent on provocation.

A ministry official told reporters the defection to Seoul of North Korea’s deputy ambassador to Britain and his family had put the North in “a very difficult situation”.

“Considering (North Korean leader) Kim JongUn’s character, it is very dangerous,” the official said on condition of anonymity.

“It’s highly likely that North Korea will make various attempts to prevent further defections and unrest among its people.”

The official cited assassination attempts and terror attacks against defectors in the

South as well as the abduction of South Koreans abroad as possible provocations.

He noted attempts to assassinate Hwang Jang-Yop, the North’s chief ideologue and former tutor to previous leader Kim Jong-Il, who defected to the South in 1997 and died of natural causes in 2010.

The official also said Kim Jong-Un had dispatched squads to the Chinese border “to harm South Koreans” following the defection in April of a group of North Korean overseas restaurant workers.

De puty ambassador Thae Yong-Ho was believed to have worked at the embassy in London for 10 years before his defection announced last week.

The South said he was driven by disgust for the Pyongyang regime, admiration for South Korea’s free and democratic system and concerns for his family’s future.

North Korea, in a vitriolic response Saturday, claimed that the “human scum” had embezzled state funds, raped a minor and spied for the South and had fled “for fear of legal punishment for his crimes”.

The 12 waitresses and

their manager had been working at a North Korea-themed restaurant in China. They made headlines when they arrived in the South in April as the largest group defection for years.

While Seoul said they fled voluntarily, Pyongyang claimed they were kidnapped

by South Korea’s National Intelligence Service and waged a vocal campaign through its state media -- including interviews with family members -- for their return.

Seoul said last week the 13-strong group was now free to settle in South Korean society after the intelligence service completed investigations into their case and allowed them to leave custody.

A spokesperson for the North’s emergency committee set up for “rescuing” abductees described that announcement as a “mean plot” aimed at “covering up the truth behind the group abduction”.

“Keeping them hidden from the public... citing ‘safety reasons’ shows that the puppet government’s announcement is a complete fabrication,” he said.

“We will continue fighting until we can rescue and bring back our female citizens.”

Philippines Prez threatens to leave UN Manila, Aug 21 (Agencies): Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has threatened to “separate” from the UN after it criticised his war on drugs as a crime under international law.

Duterte said he might ask China and African nations to form another body. He also accused the UN of failing on terrorism, hunger and ending conflicts. Duterte, elected in May, has sanctioned the killing of traffickers to try to wipe out the drugs trade.

The UN has repeatedly condemned the drive as a violation of human rights.

Some 900 suspected drug traffickers have been killed since Duterte was elected on 9 May. Last week, two UN human rights experts said Duterte’s directive for police and the public to kill suspected drug traffickers amounted to “incitement to violence and killing, a crime under international law”.

In an expletives-laden tirade against the UN on Sunday, Duterte branded the experts “stupid”, saying they should count the number of innocent lives lost to drugs.

Tehran, Aug 21 (AFP): Iran released images of its first domestically built longrange missile defence system today, a project started when the country was under international sanctions.

Images on multiple state news agencies showed President Hassan Rouhani and Minister of Defence Hossein Dehghan standing in front of the new Bavar 373 missile defence system.

The system was designed to intercept cruise missiles, drones, combat aircraft and ballistic missiles, according to earlier statements by Dehghan.

The project was launched as an alternative to the Russian S-300 system, the delivery of which was suspended in 2010 due to sanctions imposed over Iran’s nuclear programme.

“We did not intend to make an Iranian version of the S-300 -- we wanted to build an Iranian system, and we built it,” Dehghan told the IRNA news agency over the weekend.

In an earlier speech at Friday prayers, he said: “Our missile power is at such a level

that we are able to destroy all our targets at any operational range.”

Rouhani said in a televised speech today that Iran’s military budget had more than doubled compared with last year.

“If we are able to discuss with world powers around the negotiating table, it is because of our national strength, because of our national unity,” he said.

Rouhani also unveiled the first Iranian-made turbojet engine today, saying it was capable of flight at 50,000 feet.

“The Islamic republic is one of eight countries in the world who have mastered the technology to build these engines,” the president said.

Dehghan added that Iran was now looking to develop seaborne cruise missiles capable of supersonic speed.

In 2015, shortly before the conclusion of an international agreement on Iran’s nuclear programme, Moscow re-authorised the delivery of the S-300 system in a move criticised by the United States and Israel.

to decide to separate from the United Nations,” he said.

“If you are that rude, we might just as well leave,” he said. “So take us out of your organisation. You have done nothing. Where were you here the last time? Never. Except to criticise,” he said.

Mr Duterte said the UN should refund its contribution “so we can go out”.

Mr Duterte said the UN had been unable to combat hunger and terrorism and had failed to end the killing of civilians in Iraq and Syria.

“You now, United Nations, if you can say one bad thing about me, I can give 10 [about you]. I tell you, you are [useless]. Because if you are re-

ally true to your mandate, you could have stopped all these wars and killings.”

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and the UN’s Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) have both condemned Duterte’s “apparent endorsement of extrajudicial killings, which is illegal and a breach of fundamental rights and freedoms”. Duterte was sworn in as president in June, after winning a landslide election victory.

He had previously been mayor of the country’s third biggest city, Davao, for 22 years where his tough approach and controversial comments earned him the nickname “The Punisher”.

Japan protests as China ships sail near disputed isles

Nasiriyah (Iraq), Aug 21 (AFP): Iraq today hanged 36 men convicted over the 2014 massacre by Sunni jihadists and allied militants of hundreds of military recruits, officials said.

They had been found guilty of involvement in the “Speicher” massacre, named after a base near Tikrit where up to 1,700 recruits were kidnapped before being executed in a massacre claimed by the Islamic State group. “The executions of 36 convicted over the Speicher crime were carried out this morning in Nasiriyah prison,” a spokesman for the governor’s office in Dhiqar, the province of which Nasiriyah is the capital, told AFP. “The governor of Dhiqar, Yahya al-Nasseri and Justice Minister Haidar al-Zamili were present to oversee the executions,” Abdelhassan Dawood said. “They were transferred to Nasiriyah last week after the president approved the executions,” he said, referring to the necessary green light from Fuad Masum. Following the death of more than 300 people in the worst ever single bomb attack to strike Baghdad last month, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi had said he wanted to expedite the execution of inmates sentenced to death in terrorism cases.

US election: Trump campaign Nepal’s PM Prachanda to spending lags behind Clinton visit India on September 15 Wa s h i n g t o n, Au g 21 (Agencies): Donald Trump’s election campaign doubled its spending last month but still lagged far behind US presidential rival Hillary Clinton, figures show.

The Trump campaign spent $18.5m (£14.1m) in July, compared to his Democratic rival’s $38m. Trump spent more than $420,000 on hats, but only started major TV adverts this month.

Separately, the New York Times said an investigation had revealed Mr Trump’s firms were at least $650m in debt. Trump’s campaign spending remains remarkably low at this point compared to previous campaigns, including those of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney in 2012.

The Trump campaign’s $18.5m in July was up from $7.8m in June, according to a Federal Election Commission report released on Saturday.

In terms of fundraising, the Trump campaign brought in $37m for the month, compared to the $52m raised by Mrs Clinton.

August will see a spike in Trump spending, however, as last week $5m was spent on the first TV adverts. The Clinton campaign began TV advertising two months ago and has spent more than $60m so far.

Her campaign staff is around 700, about 10 times more than those on Mr Trump’s payroll.

Kathmandu, Aug 21 (PTI): Nepal’s new Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ will embark on a three-day official visit to India on September 15, his maiden foreign trip, official sources here said today. Highly-placed sources confirmed the date for Prachanda’s India visit though it is yet to be officially announced. This will be Prachanda’s first foreign visit after assuming office earlier this month. Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Bimalendra Nidhi, who was on a visit to India as Prachanda’s special envoy, had discussed with Indian officials regarding the visit, according to Indian embassy sources here. Today’s confirmation of the date comes a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended an invitation to Prachanda to visit India at the earliest when Nidhi called on him. He also conveyed his greetings and best wishes to the new government of Nepal led by Prachanda.

Washington, Aug 21 (CNN): In the most direct public warning to Moscow and Damascus to date, the new US commander of American troops in Iraq and Syria is vowing to defend US special operations forces in northern Syria if regime warplanes and artillery again attack in areas where troops are located.

“We’ve informed the Russians where we’re at ... (they) tell us they’ve informed the Syrians, and I’d just say that we will defend ourselves if we feel threatened,” Lt. Gen. Stephen Townsend told CNN in a telephone interview Saturday from his Baghdad headquarters.

Lt. Gen. Stephen Townsend, commander of US forces in Iraq and Syria, tells CNN he hopes ISIS will be defeated next year and its top leader is being “hunted.”

Townsend is the first senior military commander to speak on the record about the US possibly challenging the Syrian Air Force in the wake of an incident just days ago.

Townsend, who took command this week, made the remarks following what defense officials described as an “unusual” incident Thursday in northern Syria in which the regime of President Bashar al-Assad used warplanes to attack an area near where US special operations forces were operating in support of Kurdish

Lt. Gen. Stephen Townsend forces, which are the Americans’ key ally in the conflict.

Several US troops had to be quickly moved, and US jet patrols over northern Syria have been beefed up.

Townsend also said in the interview that he plans to keep up the pressure on ISIS and laid out an ambitious military goal: He told CNN he hopes the US-led coalition can “defeat ISIL in Iraq and Syria in this next year.”

Townsend emphasized he is aware that may be ambitious, but he added, “That’s my goal.

I am intent to do that.”

When asked how he would define the defeat of ISIS, the general said it would be when the so-called caliphate no longer exists and does not control significant population centers. “Do I think ISIL will be gone from Iraq and Syria?” he asked, using another acronym

Townsend was blunt in discussing the senior leaders of ISIS. “I want them dead or on the run in a hole somewhere in the desert, and significantly less of a threat,” he said.

M e a n w h i l e, I S I S i s still planning global attacks, Townsend said, adding that the group’s leader, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, remains in charge and continues to issue orders that are communicated and followed. Baghdadi and other ISIS leaders are being “actively hunted,” Townsend said.

The US has long believed senior leaders are in and around the city of Raqqa in Syria, the ISIS-proclaimed capital of its caliphate. Townsend said local Arab and Kurdish fighters, trained by the US, could start moving into areas outside Raqqa in coming weeks.

Tokyo, Aug 21 (Agencies): In this August 11 photo released by the 11th Regional Coast Guard Headquarters of Japan, the Greek-flagged cargo ship Anangel Courage sails in the water off the Japancontrolled Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea. (AP) Tokyo protested to Beijing Sunday after Chinese coast guard ships sailed into territorial waters surrounding disputed islands in the East China Sea, Japan said.

Four Chinese vessels entered the waters surrounding islets, called the Senkaku in Japan and the Diaoyu in China, around 10.00 am local time (0100 GMT), according to Japan Coast Guard. They left the territorial waters within an hour, the coast guard said.

The two countries are locked in a long-running dispute over the uninhabited islets. Tokyo has lodged at least 32 protests through diplomatic channels since August 5 over what it says have been about 30 intrusions by Chinese vessels in the territorial waters. The director general of the Japanese foreign ministry’s Asian and Oceanian affairs bureau, Kenji Kanasugi, issued a protest Sunday to the Chinese embassy in Tokyo, saying that the ships’ “incursion” violated Japan’s sovereignty, the ministry said in a statement.

Pearlman swindled family, friends, investors and banks by enticing them to put money into two fake companies for 20 years. Prosecutors counted at least 250 individual victims who lost a total of $200m plus 10 financial institutions that lost $100m.

The judge at his trial said victims included “his family, his close friends and people in their 70s and 80s who have lost their life savings”.

“So the sympathy factor doesn’t run high with the court,” the judge said.

In a statement, Pearlman had said: “Since my arrest, I’ve come to realise the harm that’s been done. I’m truly sorry and I apologise for what’s happened.”

Sammy Hagar offers apology to Van Halen

S

ammy Hagar offers what may well be his first-ever public apology to Van Halen in a video preview to his appearance on this week’s episode of “Oprah: Where Are They Now?” Hagar, who split from Van Halen in 1996 and reunited with them to support a greatest hits album on a 2004 tour that ended poorly, has repeatedly bashed the band at every turn since - including recent slams over the group’s 2015 live album and claims that brothers Alex and Eddie Van Halen have been trying to shut down his ability to perform material from his time in the lineup.

Following the late 2015/ early 2016 deaths of fellow rockers Scott Weiland, Lemmy, David Bowie and Glenn Frey, Hagar tells Oprah that he has found himself in a new place.

“The whole Van Halen issue, I really put that behind me, and I’m proud of what we did. So I’ve decided, forgive and forget,” explains the Red Rocker. “I ain’t looking for nothing from nobody. I don’t wanna… I ain’t asking to be, you know… get back in the band and do all that again; that’s work! I don’t wanna do that. No, no, no. I just wanna be friends.” He adds: “I wanna

say I’m sorry of anything I said bad about you.”

Hagar’s comments to Oprah mirror much of what he told Rolling Stone in March, just weeks after the singer reached out to Eddie Van Halen for the first time in more than a decade in an effort to re-establish a friendship with his former bandmate on the occasion of his 61st birthday in late January.

Hagar made headlines with a tweet to the guitar icon, writing “Happy Birthday Eddie - hope you’re doing good”, which prompted the reply, “Thanks Sammy. Hope you’re well too.”

merican boy band mogul Lou Pearlman has died in prison at the age of 62.

Pearlman launched the careers of the Backstreet Boys, the best-selling boy band of all time, and NSync, among others. He was jailed for 25 years in 2008 over a massive $300m (£153m) Ponzi fraud scheme.

NSync singer Lance Bass tweeted that Pearlman was not the best businessman but that he would not be where he was without his influence.

The cause of death has not yet been revealed.

Pearlman was inspired by the success of New Kids on the Block and formed his own record label, launching a $3m talent sweep that in 1993 selected five unknowns to be the Backstreet Boys. They went on to sell 130 million records.

NSync were also a huge success, selling more than 55 million. Pearlman later managed other boy bands such as LFO, Take 5, Natural and O-Town, and the girl group Innosense, which initially featured Britney Spears.

Lance Bass wrote on Twitter: “Word is that #LouPearlman has passed away. He might not have been a stand up businessman, but I wouldn’t be doing what I love today wthout his influence. RIP Lou.” O-Town’s Ashley Parker

he sixth Mission: Impossible film is reportedly being delayed because Tom Cruise and Paramount Pictures cannot agree on the actor’s salary.

The follow-up to last year’s Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, which grossed over $680 million (£520 million) at cinemas globally, had been due to start shooting in the New Year. Rogue Nation writer-director Christopher McQuarrie is on board to direct again from a self-penned script, with JJ Abrams due to serve as a producer.

However, sources have apparently told The Hollywood Reporter that Cruise

and the studio are still at loggerheads over what cut of the film’s eventual profits the actor will receive.

Cruise is said to want a

payment package that matches his lucrative deal for the upcoming big-budget reboot of The Mummy, which is due to hit cinemas in June 2017.

Neither Cruise’s camp nor the studio have commented on this report.

Paramount was originally eyeing a late 2017 release for Mission: Impossible 6, whose full title has yet to be announced. At the moment, however, the film has no specified release date. Alongside Cruise, Jeremy Renner and Rebecca Ferguson are expected to reprise their roles from Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, which narrowly failed to match the box office takings of the franchise’s most successful outing, 2011’s Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, which grossed $694 million (£530 million globally).

att Roberts, former guitarist in 3 Doors Down, has died at the age of 38. The musician, who was a member of the US post-grunge band from 1996 to 2012, was found dead in his hotel room in West Bend, Wisconsin, where he was due to perform at a charity event for war veterans. The cause of death has yet to be determined, CNN reports, and an autopsy has been scheduled.

Roberts was travelling with his father, Darrell, who was in an adjoining hotel room at the time of his son’s death.

Darrell Roberts told CNN that his son had struggled with anxiety and prescription drug problems in recent years.

“I know he had prescription drug addiction. He suffered greatly from anxiety,” he said.

“It’s crazy as a performer; he never liked crowds or liked places he didn’t know about as a baby, as a child, and this was his way of dealing with it and me and him talked about it often.”

“I thought he had beaten it all,” he added in reference to his son’s prescription drug addiction.

Jasin ‘O’Neil Todd, a member of US band Shinedown, is among those to have paid tribute to Roberts. “Some of my fondest touring memories are with Matt Roberts and the @3doorsdown guys,” he wrote on Instagram.

Brazil claim first ever Olympic football gold

The victorious Brazilian players show off their gold medals after they overcame a stubborn Germany on penalties.

Rio de Janeiro, Aug 21 (Agencies): Neymar struck the winning penalty as Brazil claimed a first ever Olympic football gold medal with victory over Germany on penalties at Rio’s Maracana on Saturday.

The 5-4 shoot-out win exacted revenge for a humiliating 7-1 World Cup semi-final defeat to Germany two years ago.

Olympic gold was the only major title to have es-

caped five-time world champions Brazil in their history.

But Barcelona star Neymar righted that historical wrong as he fired the winning penalty into the top corner before breaking into tears.

In front of the biggest crowd of Rio’s Games, including nine-time Jamaican gold medallist Usain Bolt, Neymar’s brilliant free-kick handed Brazil a first-half lead.

In honour of the retiring sprinting great, Neymar even

adopted the “lightning bolt” celebration, whilst chants of “ole, ole, ole, Neymar” rang around Rio’s most iconic arena.

However, Germany captain Max Meyer enjoyed a special celebration of his own as he taunted the raucous 78,000 crowd at the Maracana by kissing the number seven on his shirt when he swept home Jeremy Toljan’s cross just before the hour mark.

The first eight penal-

Lochte takes responsibility for Rio scandal

Ryan Lochte NE W YO R K , Au g 2 1 (Agencies): Star American swimmer Ryan Lochte said Saturday he took “full responsibility” for vandalizing a gas station bathroom and then telling police an “overexaggerated” story about it during the Rio Olympics.

The episode, which has embarrassed the US sporting superpower, saw Lochte and three other gold-winning US swimmers embroiled in a controversy after he gave a shocking -- and false -- account of how they had been robbed at gunpoint.

“That’s why I’m taking full responsibility for it, is because I overexaggerated that story and if I had never done that, we wouldn’t be in this mess,” said Lochte in an interview.

Lochte had already apologized on Friday for saying that the swimmers had been

US win sixth women’s 4x400m gold Rio de Janeiro, Aug 21 (Agencies): The United States maintained their iron grip on the Olympic women’s 4x400 metres relay on Saturday when they held off Jamaica for their sixth straight victory in the event to give anchor Allyson Felix her sixth career gold.

The US finished in 3 minutes 19.06 seconds. Jamaica took silver in 3:20.34 and Britain the bronze in 3:25.88.

“It’s really special,” said four-time Olympian Felix who had started the Games somewhat frustrated after missing out on qualification for the 200m.

“I can look back on the things that I’ve accomplished and really be proud and really grateful for what track and field has brought to my life” Her team mate Courtney Okolo set the stage for the win by grabbing the lead in the opening stage and the U.S. never relinquished it, pushed

by Jamaica but well clear of the rest of the field by the halfway point.

Felix held off a late challenge by Jamaica’s Novlene Wiliams-Mills to claim her third medal of the Rio Olympics having won gold in the 4x100m relay and silver in the individual 400m.

The US gold streak in the event started at the 1996 Atlanta Games.

“It’s amazing to come together with these women tonight and be able to finish it off,” Felix said. “It was a good night.”

mugged by robbers pretending to be police on their way back from an all-night party.

It was only after police declared the story bogus -- saying that the four had only been detained by security and made to pay compensation for their drunken vandalization of a gas station bathroom -- that Lochte finally came clean.

“I left details out... I left certain things out, and I overexaggerated some parts of the story,” he said in the interview.

Following the incident, Lochte flew back to the United States, while the other -- Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and Jimmy Feigen -- three stayed in Brazil.

On Wednesday, a Rio judge ordered that their passports be confiscated so that they could not leave the country, with all three questioned by police.

“I let my team down,” Lochte said when asked how he felt being home while his teammates were detained in Brazil.

“I wanted to be there, like, I don’t want them to think that I left, and left them dry because they were my teammates.

“I just wanted to make sure that they were at home safe before I came out and talked,” he added.

Lochte had similar words of contrition when interviewed by Brazil’s Globo TV. “I am sorry, it won’t happen again,” he said.

“It was my fault.. I was immature.”

On Thursday, police released closed-circuit TV footage and other evidence about the events at the gas station.

The athletes, who appeared intoxicated, stopped in a taxi at the gas station to use the bathroom during the early hours of the morning.

Lochte and the others then vandalized the area near the bathroom and, according to the manager, urinated on the walls.

Back home, Lochte has come in for scathing criticism over the incident, with media coverage and online comments almost universally damning.

ties in the shootout were all successful before Brazil goalkeeper Weverton stopped Nils Petersen’s effort to set the stage for Neymar.

And he didn’t disappoint as, with the weight of a nation on his shoulders, he rifled the ball into the top corner.

In stark contrast to the empty seats on show across the Games, even at times when Bolt has been running, there wasn’t a seat to be had at the Maracana -- where Germany won the World Cup against Lionel Messi’s Argentina two years ago.

However, it was for the 7-1 mauling in Belo Horizonte five days previously that Brazil were seeking revenge.

None of the players that took to the field that day started on Saturday.

Neymar missed the darkest day in Brazil’s football history due to two broken bones in his back suffered during a bruising quarter-final win over Colombia.

Yet, the good fortune that escaped Brazil on home soil two years ago was certainly with them in the first-half as Germany were desperately unlucky to go in behind at the break.

Julian Brandt’s fine curling effort came back off the bar, whilst Sven Bender also

hit the woodwork from close range. In between times, Neymar had opened the scoring via the bar with a sumptuous dipping effort from 25 yards for his third goal of the tournament.

Weverton made a fine save from Meyer and Paris Saint-Germain defender Marquinhos was fortunate when his mishit clearance flew inches over his own crossbar.

However, Weverton was beaten for the first time in the competition just before the hour mark when Meyer swept home Toljan’s low cross.

Brazil piled on the pressure in the final half hour of normal time as Gabriel Jesus turned Renato Augusto’s dangerous cross just wide, substitute Felipe Anderson fluffed his lines and Neymar’s effort from distance flew just off target.

The hosts had the better chances in extra-time too as Luan burst clear only to see his shot blocked before Anderson was denied when one-on-one with Horn.

Thankfully for Rogerio Micale’s men they were far more clinical from the spot as Augusto, Marquinhos, Rafinha and Luan all netted to hand Neymar the chance to live up to his billing as the host’s poster boy for the Games.

Mo Farah wins 5,000m gold to complete ‘double double’ Rio de Janeiro, Aug 21 (Agencies): Mo Farah completed the ‘double double’ by winning the Olympic Games 5,000m title in Rio with a dominant display of distance running.

Farah sat off the pace set by two Ethiopian rivals in the early stages before controlling the last half of the race and winning with a handful of metres to spare.

Victory followed up his gold medal in the 10,000m final last weekend and added to the double gold he was able to celebrate on home turf in London four years ago.

The 33-year-old becomes only the second man after ‘Flying Finn’ Lasse Viren to win both titles at two Games.

Silver medallist Paul Chelimo of the United States and Ethiopia’s Muktar Edris, who finished in bronze medal position, were both disqualified after the contest, which concluded with a rough and tumble final lap, albeit one not affecting Farah at all.

Chelimo was eventually restored to the silver medal placing and Ethiopia’s Hagos Gebrhiwet took bronze ahead of Bernard Lagat of the USA, with the second British runner Andrew Butchart finishing

Murray powers past Raonic Cincinnati, Aug 21 (Agencies): Andy Murray eased into the final of the ATP Tour Cincinnati Open with a 6-3 6-3 win over Canada’s Milos Raonic.

Wimbledon and Olympic Games champion Murray clinched his 22nd straight win, and 50th of the year, against the man he beat to lift his third Grand Slam title last month.

Much like the rest of the week in the Ohio city, rain played a part in the early stages as play was called after only four points had been possible.

But Murray returned in hungry mood and broke to lead 3-1, with a second break enough to secure the opening set as there were no obvious signs of the shoulder and back issues that have affected him this week.

Raonic failed to improve

in the second set and a single break, won from the only break point he secured, was enough to see Murray through to the final, where he will face either Grigor Dimitrov or Marin Cilic.

“I didn’t get broken the last couple of matches and when I was in difficult situations I made good choices.” said Murray, twice a champion in Cincinnati and now unbeaten since defeat to Novak Djokovic in the French Open final in May. “That’s helped keep the matches shorter. If you’re a bit lower on confidence, regardless of how fresh you are, if you haven’t played loads of matches you make bad decisions in those moments. And because I’ve won a lot the last few months, that’s something that has been good, especially this week for sure.”

Rio de Janeiro, Aug 21 (IANS): Reinstatement of the Russian athletics federation in the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) is a priority, President Sebastian Coe said on Sunday.

“The reinstatement of the Russian athletics federation is a priority. The IAAF Taskforce met in Rio (16) during the Games and hopes to resume discussions with the Russian Olympic Committee’s Interim Coordination Committee to establish a clean, safe environment for its athletes so that its federation and team can return to international competition,” Coe said at a press conference.

The reinstatement process will continue after receiving the response of the IAAF Commission’s report, Coe said.

He added that the IAAF intends to continue working with Russia’s Interim Coordination Committee and it is important not to lose time.

Russian track and field athletes were banned from the 2016 Rio Olympics because of the disqualification of the All-Russian Athletics Federation (RAF).

Farah adopted his traditional ‘Mobot’ celebration pose after completing the 5,000m race.

in a superb sixth place. Farah started in typical fashion, sitting at the back of the field, but he moved through to the front with less than 2,000m remaining and controlled the pace from that point.

Suarez, Messi guide Barca to comfortable win Barcelona confirm Bravo agreement Madrid, Aug 21 (Agencies): Barcelona technical secretary Robert Fernandez has confirmed Manchester City have “a beginning of an agreement” to buy Claudio Bravo. The Chilean is a target of City manager Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium, as the former Catalans’ boss looks to replace Joe Hart.

Barcelona are thought to be very close to securing a replacement for the departing Bravo, with a deal to bring in Ajax’s Jasper Cillessen on a five-year deal thought to be close.

Bravo turned out for his current side as they began their La Liga title defence with a 6-2 win over Real Betis

Barcelona’s star forwards Lionel Messi (right) and Luis Suarez celebrate after the former scored his side’s fifth goal.

Barcelona, Aug 21 (IANS): Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez led Barcelona to a comfortable 6-2 victory at home over Real Betis as the reigning La Liga champions opened their title defence with a convincing display of passing football and devastating finishing on Saturday.

Messi scored twice and Suarez netted a hat-trick as Barcelona started the new season.

Before the game kicked off the Barcelona footballers received the trophy for winning last season’s title and they started the game as if they were in a hurry to add this season’s crown to it. Turkish midfielder Arda Turan’s positive start to the campaign continued when he put Barcelona ahead from a

Messi pass after just six minutes and it looked as if the Catalans were going to add a second as they pegged Betis back.

However, the visitors were level after 21 minutes when Ruben Castro scored a powerful free kick, although Claudio Bravo, perhaps playing his last game for the club, should have done better with his attempt to keep it out.

For a short while Barcelona looked vulnerable on the break, but Messi took control and was unlucky to see one shot hit the bar after half an hour before a stunning left foot shot re-established their lead after 37 minutes. And Suarez made it 3-1 with a shot that went in close to the post after a pass from Sergi Roberto. With Messi

pulling the strings, Barcelona overran Betis at the start of the second half and after Turan had a goal ruled out for offside he and Messi combined to set up Suarez for Barca’s fourth.

Two minutes later another shot from outside of the area gave Messi his 2nd of the evening and Barcelona their fifth goal of the game. There was over half an hour left to play, but with Barca having played the return leg of the Supercup and with Betis knowing the game was lost, the rhythm dropped considerably.

After a 20-minute truce Suarez made it 6-1 with a wonderful free kick, before Castro’s second of the game made it 6-2, although that was scant consolation for a well-beaten Betis.

on Saturday, but Fernandez’s words appear to confirm that was the 33-year-old’s final match in Blaugrana colours.

“We have the beginning of an agreement with Manchester City for Claudio Bravo,” the club official told reporters after the match.

Guardiola has been pushing all summer for a custodian comfortable with building play from the back using his feet, ousting Hart from City’s starting XI this term.

Willy Caballero has started all three of the club’s competitive fixtures this season, with Bravo’s impending arrival only likely to plunge the England No.1’s future into further doubt.

He had soon broken his toiling rivals and managed to build a couple of metres advantage which he held all the way to the line. “Oh my God I can’t believe it!” said Farah.

“My legs were tired after the 10,000m and people had to bring me food in my room.”

Leicester, Arsenal play out 0-0 draw

Leicester attacker Okazaki controls the ball as Arsenal duo Granit Zhaka and Koscielny watch on.

London, Aug 21 (Agencies): Champions Leicester City are off the mark for the new Premier League season after playing out a goalless draw with last season’s runners-up Arsenal at the King Power Stadium.

The stalemate sees Leicester’s winless Premier League run against the Gunners extend to 20 matches, but Foxes’ boss Claudio Ranieri will be

delighted with his side’s performance and the way his players responded to last week’s setback at Hull.

Leicester goalkeeper Kaspar Schmeichel was called into action just once in the first half, to beat out an angled Santi Cazorla free-kick that was creeping in at the far post.

Arsenal’s lack of goal threat perhaps showed just how important Robert Huth is

to Leicester’s defensive unit without the German alongside him at the KCOM Stadium last week, Wes Morgan looked nervy and off the boil as the Foxes shipped two goals to the ante-post relegation favourites.

The champions took time to settle, but improved as the half went on, and Ranieri will feel his side should have been awarded a penalty just before the break.

US win 6th straight women’s basketball gold

United States team members pose for a photo after the gold medal basketball game against Spain at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Saturday. (AP/PTI) Rio de Janeiro, Aug 21 (IANS): The powerhouse United States women’s basketball team was nearly as dominant in the final as it was in every other contest at the Rio Games, winning its sixth straight Olympic gold with a 101-72 victory on Saturday.

Spain, which secured its first every medal in this competition with a convincing 68-54 win over Serbia in Thursday semi-finals, was competitive with the Americans in the early going and only trailed 21-17 after the first quarter, Efe news reported.

But the US team switched to a higher gear and took a 49-32 lead at the intermission against Lucas Mondelo’s squad, which not only found itself far behind on the scoreboard but had two of its best inside players -- Astou Ndour and Laura Nicholls -- in foul trouble.

Diana Taurasi made a pair of 3-pointers to give the Americans a double-digit lead in the second quarter before Maya Moore took over shortly before halftime to essentially put the contest out of reach.

The second half was just a formality as the Americans

steadily stretched their lead against an inferior Spanish squad that had already achieved more than expected by defeating Serbia, China, Senegal and Canada in the round-robin phase before taking out Turkey and Serbia in the quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively.

Taurasi and Lindsay Whalen led the US with 17 points apiece, while Torrens had a game-high 18 points for Spain. With the victory, the US won its eighth gold overall in the Summer Games and its 49th consecutive game in Olympic competition.

Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech was out smartly to block Jamie Vardy’s first-time shot on the run from Riyad Mahrez’s sublime angled pass, but, as the ball ran loose, Laurent Koscielny seemed to clip Danny Drinkwater on the right-hand edge of the area.

However, referee Mark Clattenburg ruled that the French defender got a touch on the ball and waved play on.

T h e o Wa l c o t t t h e n spurned a good opportunity on 81 minutes when he hesitated in front of goal, allowing Morgan the opportunity to race back and nick the ball off him with a brilliant last-gasp tackle. And, then, in the final minute, Clattenburg again kept his whistle dry by not awarding Leicester a penalty after Hector Bellerin clumsily caught Foxes’ substitute Ahmed Musa in the area.

Mahrez, who turned down a move to Arsenal over the summer to the delight of the home fans, who chanted “Mahrez thinks you’re s**t” to the away supporters, almost nicked all three points deep into injury-time following a mazy run, but the reigning PFA Player of the Year ended up shooting straight at Cech.

Aisen wins China’s 7th diving gold Rio de Janeiro, Aug 21 (Agencies): China won its seventh gold in eight diving events at the Rio Olympics, showing off the superpower’s depth with a less heralded champion in men’s 10-meter platform.

Chen Aisen claimed the title with 585.30 points Saturday night, displaying the greatest consistency throughout the six-round contest. Three times he topped 100 points on his dives, closing the contest with one that earned perfect scores of 10.

“I never thought I would get this medal for diving and I am still in a state of shock,” he said through a translator.

Chen hit a back 2 1/2 somersaults with 2 + twists, barely making a splash as he sliced the water for 108.00 points -- the highest score of anyone in the final.

“There’s a lot of young guns in this sport now,” defending champion David Boudia said, “and it’s cool to see them step up their game.”

Chen had never won a major international 10-meter individual title, having more success in synchronized platform, winning gold in Rio and at last year’s world championships. The 20-year-old diver gave China its first win in the event since 2004.

Yogeshwar crashes out with first-round loss

India’s Yogeshwar Dutt fights with Mongolia’s wrestler Mandakhnaran Ganzorig during the Men’s 65kg Freestyle wrestling match at Summer Olympics 2016 in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil on Sunday. (PTI) Rio de Janeiro, Aug 21 (PTI): Celebrated wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt failed to sign off his Olympic career with a medal, losing in the opening round to Mongolian Ganzorigiina Mandakhnaran whose quarterfinal defeat dashed the Indian’s hopes of a repechage at the Rio Games here today.

Expectations were high from Yogeshwar, a London Olympics bronze-medallist, and he was touted as a strong medal prospect. But he looked

a pale shadow of his previous gritty self in the 0-3 loss to Mandakhnaran in the qualification round bout.

After his loss in the qualification, Yogeshwar’s only hope of making the medal round depended on his Mongolian opponent reaching the gold medal bout.

However, Mandakhnaran went down 0-6 to Russia’s Soslan Lyudvikovich Ramonov, the gold medallist at the 2014 World Champi-

onship in Tashkent, in the quarterfinals to end the Indian grappler’s dream of signing off with a medal.

The five-member Indian wrestling team thus finished its campaign with just a solitary bronze won by Sakshi Malik in the women’s 58kg category. The squad was originally six-strong but Narsingh Yadav was ousted after being slapped with a doping ban by the Court of Arbitration for Sports.

Golfer Aditi ends Rio campaign at 41st spot Rio de Janeiro, Aug 21 (IANS): Indian woman golfer Aditi Ashok finished her maiden appearance at the Olympics at the 41st spot after a five-over 76 that took her cumulative score to seven-over 291 here.

The 18-year-old, who scored a 79 in the third round, continued to struggle on Saturday as she started off with three bogeys and a double bogey that gave her a 76. She failed to earn a single birdie throughout the day. With two consecutive over-par rounds, she undid her good work of first two rounds that yielded three-under 68s.

She got off to a poor start after getting a bogey on the first hole and a double bogey on the par-four third meant that it was going to a difficult day on the course for the youngest golfer at Rio. Meanwhile, South Korean Inbee Park clinched the gold with a total score of 16-under 268 (66-66-70-66), while New Zealand teenage sensation Lydia Ko scored 11-under 273 (69-70-65-69) for the silver. China’s Shanshan Feng, with a cumulative score of 274 (70-67-68-69), settled for the bronze.
