JCC to hold mass public rally Donald Trump is 45th US President on Jan 23 against ULB election

WASHINGton, JAN 20 (AGENCIES): Power belongs to the American people again, President Donald John Trump said after he was sworn in as US president. He took the oath of office on the steps of the US Capitol in Washington to become the country’s 45th president.

Under overcast skies and the U.S. Capitol, Trump took the oath of office from Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.

Thousands of Trump supporters travelled across the country to witness the occasion from the National Mall.

In his inaugural address, he promised to be the voice of the “forgotten people”, ignored by Washington politicians.

“This is your day. This is your celebration. And this, the United States of America, is your country,” Trump declared. “The oath of office I take today is an

He added: “Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength. I will fight for you with every breathe in my body and I will never ever let you down.”

Trump started his improbable presidential bid in 2015, beating out a former secretary of state and several senators and governors during his dizzying, chaotic rise to the White House. He becomes the first U.S. president with no prior government or military experience.

Trump, 70, was sworn in using two Bibles, the one used by Abraham Lincoln at his first inauguration and his own. Trump’s mother gave him his personal Bible shortly before his ninth birthday, according to the inaugural committee. Associate Justice Clarence Thomas swore in Vice President Mike Pence.

Wearing a red tie, Trump walked onto the dais, greeted his own family and Barack and Michelle Obama.

The crowd gathered for Trump’s inauguration filled out only parts of the National Mall, smaller than the overflowing audience seen at Obama’s first inauguration in 2009. An estimated 800,000 to 900,000 people

had travelled to Washington for the ceremony.

Mostly peaceful protests took place early on in Washington during Trump’s Inauguration Day. Some protesters, though, became unruly, smashing windows at a McDonald’s and a Bank of America.

Hillary Clinton, who lost to Trump in a dramatic upset in November’s election, was in attendance with her husband, former President Bill Clinton.

President Barack Obama shook hands with each member of the Trump family before the ceremony.

Former presidents and first ladies, including George W Bush and his wife Laura as well as Jimmy Carter, were in attendance.

Dozens of Democratic lawmakers said they would skip the inauguration, with some citing Trump’s divisive policies and others citing the intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.

The 45th president has vowed to roll back many of his predecessor’s policies, including repealing Obama’s signature health care law and building a wall along the US-Mexico border.

Assimilate NE people with mainland culture: Acharya

Civic body polls: For defying appeal, Senden excommunicates individuals for 30 years

Chumoukedima youth bodies warn residents

US President Donald Trump takes the oath of office as his wife Melania holds the bible, surrounded by his children at the West front of the US Capitol in Washington, DC.

MUMBAI, JAN 20 (PTI): People across India should assimilate their brothers and sisters from North-east states with the mainland culture to achieve national integration in true sense, Nagaland Governor P.B Acharya said.

The north-east states border with countries like China, Bangladesh and Myanmar but receive scant attention from mainland India, he said.

“These strategic areas need our concerted efforts to instil a sense of belonging among the people in northeastern states,” Acharya told reporters here yesterday.

Terming the eight N-E states as NAMASATE (Nagaland, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim and Tripura), he said 98 per cent of their borders are international and there is a need to reach out to people in these states. As many Indians as possible should visit these states and know their rich cultural heritage first hand, he said.

Universities across India should operate as institutions to build emotional and cultural bridges with these states by making arrangements to teach north-eastern dialects, which are more than 200, he said.

This is it!

“Hmm, you know, history repeats itself? Today, the siituation in 2017 is like the situation in 1998.”

Meanwhile, the Ao Senden has also thanked all those who had extended support through financial and material donations, morally and physical support.

DIMAPUR, JAN 20 (NPN): Three Chumoukedima youth bodies- Chumoukedima Town Youth Organization (CTYO), Chumoukedima Village Youth Society (CVYS) and New Chumokedima Village Youth Organization (CVYO), have issued a stern warning to residents of Chumoukedima not to shelter ex-communicated candidates of any tribe in its area.

In a joint press note, the youth bodies remained firm to stand by the directive of Angami Youth Organization, and that any defaulter found sheltering ex-communicated members would be dealt with as per customary law. They also warned that any person found going against the directive would be doing so at his/her own risk, and for any untoward incident, the youth organizations would not be held responsible.

D I M A P U R , JA N 2 0 (NPN): Joint Co-ordination Committee (JCC) comprising of Ao, Lotha, Sumi, Chakhro Angami and Chakhesang tribes on Friday upped the ante to reaffirm its stand against conduct of ULB elections by calling for a mass public rally “against the state government for conduct of ULB elections” on January 23 at 11 a.m at State Stadium Dimapur.

The decision to call for the mass rally was made during a consultative meeting Friday at Lotha Hoho Ki Dimapur, attended by the apex tribal bodies of JCC, Eastern Nagaland Peoples’ Organisation (ENPO), Angami Public Organisation (APO), Central Naga Tribes Council (CNTC), Naga Council Dimapur (NCD), GBs Union, Dimapur Urban Council Chairmen Federation (DUCCF), Church leaders, and those candidates who had withdrawn their nominations.

In this regard, the committee has requisitioned a minimum of 5000 members each from the Angami, Sumi, and Ao community, 3000 from Lotha tribe, 1000 from Chakhesang tribe, and 1000 from ENPO to assemble at the State Stadium on January 23 by 11 a.m in traditional attire.

JCC has also extended invitation to all non-Nagas and other public in support of the cause to attend the proposed rally. At the meeting, the JCC members came down heavily on candidates who were yet to withdraw the nomination papers and accused them of fighting the elections “for personal and political gain”.

The committee has once again fervently appealed to the candidates to back out from contesting the elections. JCC warned that “due course of action will be initiated against them” if they defy they appeal.

Meanwhile, JCC acknowledged and congratulated Independent candi-

date Temsulemla (DMC Ward 1) and NPF candidate Kereilhouvi Pfukha (DMC ward 23) for heeding to the call of the Nagas by deciding to withdraw from the elections.

Further, JCC also announced that DUCCF and Dimapur GBs Union had extended support and solidarity with the committee.

Earlier at the meeting, leaders and representatives from various organisations spoke on the issue, with many suggesting action plans towards thwarting the conduct of the ULB elections slated to be held on February 1. Candidates who had withdrawn nominations also spoke at the meeting wherein they maintained that they had listened to the people and the JCC’s call. The candidates also urged the JCC to deliver justice by taking action against those “erring” candidates.

Members also proposed demanding resignation of all 60 legislators in the present NLA. However, no resolution in this regard was adopted.

Conduct polls only after consultation: NSCF to govt KOHIMA, JAN 20 (NPN): Nagaland Senior Citizens’ Forum (NSCF) in its emergency meeting resolved to impress upon the state government to hold the Urban Local Bodies (ULB) election only after having wider consultations with the stakeholders.

In a release, NSCF president Dr. S.I Tushi Ao and general secretary S. Ghunakha Swu informed that the forum also deliberated on the issue of International boundary fencing between Nagaland and Myanmar and asserted that the work should be stopped and resumed only after getting

the consent of the inhabitants.

NSCF also lauded all the faith groups, hohos and others for opposing the observance of good governance day on December 25. The forum expressed gratitude to the state government for not observing the good governance day.

Further, the forum expressed appreciation to Nagaland Governor for taking up the fuel adulteration and PDS issue. NSCF also congratulated NTC for bringing the six Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) together under one platform.

Govt should reconsider decision on ULB polls: Imkong Correspondent

MOKOKCHUNG, JAN 20 (NPN): Considering the resentment against the ensuing Urban Local Bodies (ULB) elections in Nagaland by the civil society organisations (CSOs) and tribal bodies led

by Naga Hoho, former home minister, Imkong L Imchen, MLA, on Friday suggested that government reconsider its decision and try to work out an amicable solution.

He was addressing the media before gracing the valedictory programme of the Ao Students’ Conference (AKM) 67th general conference at Changtongya village. Imkong said, “Perhaps it is not too late on the part of the government of Nagaland to reconsider their decision and work out to find an amicable solution”.

He added that “personal ego should never be allowed to come into play while dealing with the peoples’ interest”.

Imkong L Imchen (NP)

Imkong pointed out that Nagas have been given an opportunity in the form of Article 371(A) that allowed them to interpret this constitutional provision according to their customs and traditions. Imchen said he was personally convinced by Abraham Lincoln’s definition of democracy “government of the people, by the people and for the people”, adding that this definition gave the fullest meaning of democracy.

Imchen said if anyone

spoke about mechanism of governance, their action should reflect the basic interest of the people. He said even in case of Nagaland Municipal and Town Council elections, which was notified by the government, it should also reflect the interest of the Naga people.

Further, Imchen pointed out that Naga CSOs led

by Naga Hoho, ENPO and almost all tribal hohos have voiced their opinion that this election in the present form would infringe upon the very tenet of Art 371 A of the Constitution of India.

Hitting out on the political party directives, he said many filed the nominations on the direction of “certain” political party and that they were also directed not to withdraw their nominations or else face party disciplinary action. Imchen said such directives were tantamount to negation of the basic democratic principles.

He said that if he was at the “helms of affair” he would not have allowed such agitation and that the door would have been opened for open discussion and sharing thereby discovering the consensus opinion reflecting the peoples’ interest.

I m k o n g, a f o r m e r AKM president, also lauded the achievements and performances of the union terming it as the most vibrant student organization in the country.

Recollecting the initial stage of AKM, he said the then British tried to prevent its formation and even tried to prevent the publication of the Ao Milen. Imkong also lamented the creation of ranges in Ao areas by the British, adding that ranges defined by the British on geographical term was at all not necessary. MLA suggested that AKM should ponder on doing away with the range system.

ULB polls: Vote against note ban decision, Cong appeals

DIMAPUR: Reaffirming its conviction that ensuing Urban Local Bodies (ULB) election in the state would be a referendum on demonetisation decision announced by Prime Minister on November 8, 2016, the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has appealed to all urban voters to send the message of disapproval to the Prime Minister by voting for a few “brave-heart” Congress nominees and Independent candidates left in the fray.

In a press release, NPCC president, K. Therie, said that public vote was the strongest message, which was acknowledged amongst the democratic nations of the world.

Therie said what was important about the ensuing ULB election was to provide clean and decent councils and send a strong message of denouncement of demonetization to the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi.

“We also must tell him that we live in democracy and do not agree to diktats,” NPCC president said, adding that such a major policy (demonetisation) impacting the entire population of the nation must be routed through the House of Representatives.

Drawing attention to

the BJP president Amit Shah’s purported claim that Chandigarh ULB election verdict that went in favour of BJP was a verdict in favour of demonetization, NPCC president said Nagaland people cannot afford to do that.

He said that everybody was suffering from demonetisation except a few “corrupt politicians and bureaucrats.”

Meanwhile, the NPCC has stated when the ULB election was announced by the state government to be held with 33% women reservation, it had welcomed the decision.

However, NPCC said in view of the tribe organizations and village councils having differences with the Nagaland Municipal Act, it had urged the state government to postpone ULB election for wide consultation to develop consensus.

Congress said it has presumed that the ruling 60 members have resolved the past issues raised by the Ao Community and the NMA, and that they were in command.

But, it said more issues popped up just before filing of nominations with stiff opposition from various tribe organizations and village councils.

Within a week’s time,

NPCC said the situation went out of control and the government had to even extend the last date for filing nominations.

NPCC expressed pain that the state government chose the path of confrontation with civil society organisations (CSOs).

Observing the situation, NPCC said many of its workers fully co-operated with CSOs and did not search candidates.

NPCC said it was on January 7, 2017 a few Congress nominees filed nominations assuring the Tribe Hohos that if DAN nominees withdraw, they would also withdraw. NPCC said its intention was to give clean and corruption-free councils.

For a decade, Congress alleged that NPF nominees have corrupted all the resources and ruined urban habits.

It further claimed that many of Congress nominees were forced to withdraw, but NPF and BJP nominees could not be prevented and some councils and nominees would be elected unopposed.

NPCC underlined that voting for DAN nominees would mean voters were approving demonetization, adding that it would be a terrible mistake.

ZPCSU added that “step motherly” attitude would no longer be tolerated.

It pointed out that new academic building was inaugurated on May 6, 2016, but was yet to function due lack of necessary infrastructural facilities and bus service.

The union pointed out that Zisaji presidency college being a small government college internal

collection was very less and not sufficient to fulfil the minimum infrastructure maintenance activities of the college.

ZPCSU also stated that there was no special grant from the government to uplift the college and standard of higher education of the area.

It alleged that the state government has been ignoring the development of the college continuously by adopting “delaying techniques.”

(DIPR) DIMAPUR: Officials from department of social welfare led by director, T. Merangtsungba Aier are on a three-day tour programme in Mokokchung district so as to sensitize the public on various welfare schemes and activities of the department.

Guwahati, Jan 20 (IANS): Accusing Assam Governor Banwarilal Purohit of acting on behalf of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), former Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Friday said the Raj Bhavan here is gradually turning into an RSS office.

Addressing a press conference here, Gogoi said the Governor and the RSS have been hatching a conspiracy to divide the greater Assamese society into two factions -- Hindu and Muslim.

“The Governor had recently termed Ahom General Lachit Borphukan as ‘Saviour of Hindutva’, insulting all the people in Assam. Yesterday (Thursday) he had termed Jawaharlal Nehru as atheist.

“There is no logic behind such statements.

However, these are not isolated statements but a

calculated move to divide the society in Assam on religious lines,” Gogoi said.

“I believe the Governor should perform his constitutional duty only.

But the Governor is turning the Raj Bhavan into RSS headquarters.

“Earlier also there were Governors in Assam appointed by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government.

But we have not seen any Governor behaving like the present one,” Gogoi added.

The for mer Chief Minister also slammed Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and his government’s move to change the name of existing welfare schemes and branding them as new schemes.

“The Prime Minister’s Awas Yojana (PMAY) launched on Thursday is not a new scheme. The

Itanagar , Jan 20 (IANS): The Arunachal Pradesh government on Friday took the historic step to go cashless with the inauguration of ‘Digi Dhan Mela’ in tune with the central government’s programme of ‘100 cities 100 melas’ for a cashless economy.

The Digi Dhan Mela, a central government initiative, is aimed at incentivising digitally enabled transformation in the country following the November 8 demonetisation of Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 notes. Addressing a gathering, Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju called upon people to join the digitisation movement and strengthen Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s efforts in making India a front-runner in the world.

Emphasising on the need for a collective effort from all citizens, the minister said it was necessary for the country to move along with the government.

“Unless we work together, success cannot be achieved.

If everyone contributes to the nation, it cannot lag behind,” Raju said. He exuded confidence that the newly formed Bharatiya Janata Party-led government in the state would contribute towards nation building.

Appreciating the enthusiastic response of the people to go digital and contribute towards nation building, Union Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju called for organising the mela in districts and zillas (blocks) so that people from every corner are covered.

existing scheme was Indira Awas Yojana (IAY). Similarly, the existing Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) is converted into Atal Mission for Renovation and Urban Transportation (AMRUT),” Gogoi said, slamming the government.

“The new government (led by the BJP) often talks on security of Jati, Mati and Bheti (race, land and foundation). But, on the contrary, while the government shows seriousness towards updating the National Register of Citizens (NRC), it has also plans to amend the Citizenship Act to give citizenship to those who came from Bangladesh,” he said.

Also, since the ground level staff of the the Directorate of NRC are not getting their salaries, they have stopped work, Gogoi pointed out.

He also flayed the government’s move to forcefully implement the cashless system in the tea garden areas of Assam and said that people’s opinion and wishes must be taken into consideration in a democracy.

“There is no banking infrastructure in the tea gardens and no proper education, and the government is trying to forcefully implement the cashless system among them,” he said.

Myanmar envoy picture Owaisi: Jallikkatu case a lesson for India ED arrests son of financer India’s taken with declared terrorist Bhajiawala under PMLA

Surat, Jan 20 (PTI): The ED today said it has arrested the son of city-based financer Kishore Bhajiawala on money laundering charges and for allegedly using 1,000 fake IDs to illegally convert Rs 1 crore in old notes into new post demonetisation.

The agency said it has placed “Jignesh Kishorebhai Bhajiawala (41) under arrest as per provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) at about 11:45 PM last night” at is sub-zonal office here.

He will produced in court today. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had registered a criminal FIR against Kishore Bhajiawala and some of his family members based on a CBI FIR against him, which was registered after the Income Tax department first conducted searches and seized gold and cash from his premises as part of their operation in December last year to check blackmoney post the notes ban.

The case had gained prominence after investigating agencies detected the proverbial rags-to-riches

ascent of the ‘chaiwala’turned-financier based in the diamond city of Gujarat.

“The Bhajiawala family has converted a huge amount of their unaccounted money, post demonetisation, into new high denomination currency and other valuables through collusion with bank officials and private persons by impersonating, forgery and by using forged documents.

“An amount of over Rs 1.02 crore in new currency was seized by the I-T department from his premises during searches at his home, shop and bank lockers held by them. It was also found that the accused had hired several bank lockers in benami names to stash their unaccounted assets,” the ED alleged. Describing the alleged modus operandi deployed by Bhajiawala family to generate and stash black money, the ED said, “Bhajiawala family in collusion with P Bhatt, the then Senior Manager, Surat Peoples Cooperative Bank Limited, Udhna branch in Surat obtained KYC files and these files were taken

outside the bank to several xerox centres to obtain photocopies of IDs available in the said files.”

“This way Bhajiawala family collected more than 1,000 IDS. Around 200 of these IDs were used by him to obtain new currency in lieu of old currency of Rs 1,000/500 from the said bank,” it said.

The agency added that “it is believed that Bhajiawala has used the remaining IDs to obtain new currency through collusion, impersonation and forgery and laundered the same.

“Possibility of Bhajiawala family collecting IDs from other financial institutions and their misuse cannot be ruled out as the probe is ongoing,” it added.

The I-T sleuths had recovered Rs 1.45 crore cash, with about Rs 1.05 crore in new currency notes, bullion worth Rs 1.49 crore, gold jewellery valued at Rs 4.92 crore, other ornaments worth Rs 1.39 crore and silver ingots priced at Rs 1.28 crore. The total assets of Bhajiawala family detected by the IT were about Rs 10.50 crore.

Vikram Misri Zone in Sagaing region of Myanmar. This festival was organised with the assistance of the Government of Myanmar on the occasion of celebrations of the Naga new year festival, which traditionally falls on January 15, after the harvest.”

He said that “very high ranking dignitaries of the Myanmar government, including the President and many Union Ministers, Sagaing Region Government Ministers, and Ambassadors of several countries to Myanmar were present on the occasion. “Various Naga leaders were naturally also present on the occasion and some casual pictures were taken with the visiting Ambassadors. It would not be appropriate to attach any significance to them,” Swarup said.

The “Naga leaders” mentioned by Swarup belong to a terrorist association. On November 17, 2015, the NSCN-Khaplang faction was declared a terrorist organisation by the Central government, several months after it was held responsible for the ambush of an Indian Army convoy in Chandel district of Manipur, killing 20 of the soldiers in June of that year.

Navjot Singh Sidhu Chandigarh, Jan 20 (IANS): On a day when cricketer-turned- politician Navjot Singh Sidhu said the assets of the Badal family had increased exponentially in the past decade, the AAP on Friday said Sidhu was complicit in the “massive corruption” in Punjab during the period.

In a hard hitting statement issued here, AAP state convener Gurpreet Singh Waraich dubbed Sidhu an “opportunist, self-centered and directionless man who is not better than a rolling stone”.

Rohtak, Jan 20 (Agencies): A fast-track court in Narnaul gave three men the death penalty and acquitted one in the brutal gangrape and murder of a nine-yearold girl in 2014.

The court of RK Dogra announced death penalty for Ateli residents Deepak, Arun and Rajesh, while acquitted railway engineer Sanjay.

The case dates back to October 31, 2014, when the nine-year-old girl had gone out to dump a rat from her house in the open, and never returned.

Her mother informed the police, which then launched a search operation.

On the morning of November 1, the police found her body in the bushes.

The postmortem confirmed she was gangraped before being murdered.

“If Sidhu is now targeting the Badals for corruption, it does not absolve him of complicity with the SAD-BJP’s corrupt regime for 10 years. His wife was a Chief Parliamentary Secretary in the state government and didn’t leave it...,” Waraich said. “...Navjot Singh Sidhu too turned a blind eye by staying away from Punjab for about seven years. Sidhu has been a partner in the Badals’ corruption and their other crimes.”

The AAP leader said the former cricketer had merely “shifted from one corrupt party to another”.

Waraich questioned why Sidhu targeted the Badal family for corruption and amassing huge wealth but kept silent on the alleged corruption of Amarinder Singh and the Congress.

sevak Sangh (RSS) and its affiliated organisation, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), have backed the demand for lifting the ban on Jallikattu, a popular bulltaming of in Tamil Nadu.

Owaisi, who heads the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), has been at loggerheads with the RSS over its campaign for an uniform civil code.

The RSS is the ideological mentor of the ruling party at the Centre, the BJP.

Owaisi’s party is also contesting several seats in Uttar Pradesh where assembly polls will be held in seven phases from next month.

He is also highly critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his alleged anti-Muslim policies.

On Thursday, Owaisi said Modi “would have claimed credit” for construction of the Red Fort and the Taj Mahal “had they not been built long ago”.

Tension gripped Ateli, as hundreds of residents came out on roads, demanding arrest of the accused and accusing the police of inaction.

Few days later, the police rounded up four men in the case and booked them under charges of murder, kidnap and gangrape.

A fast-track court was set up that held three out of four men guilty of the charges after hearing 35 witnesses.

This is for the second time in the last one year that a court in Haryana has pronounced the death penalty in a gangrape case.

Earlier in December 2015, a Rohtak court had announced death penalty for seven convicts, accused of gangraping and killing a mentally-challenged woman from Nepal in the district.

New Delhi, Jan 20 (IANS): In an obvious diplomatic faux pas, the Indian envoy to Myanmar, Vikram Misri, has been pictured along with top members of the banned NSCN-Khaplang faction, including its “military commander” Niki Sumi, who has a bounty of Rs 10 lakh on his head.

In the picture, posted by a cadre of the banned Khaplang faction on his Facebook page, Misri is seen smiling alongwith Niki Sumi and senior Khaplang member Isak Sumi, and European Union envoy to Myanmar, Roland Kobia.

The picture was put on his Facebook page by Isak Sumi. The picture was said to have been taken earlier this month in Lahe, in the so-called Naga Self Administered Zone in Sagaing region of Myanmar.

The Indian government banned the NSCN-Khaplang faction in November, 2015. Its leaders, including chief S.S. Khaplang and “military commander” Niki Sumi, were proscribed with bounties of Rs 7 lakh and Rs 10 lakh on their heads, respectively. The Ministry of External affairs, however, sought to downplay what it said were “some casual pictures” taken on the occasion of Naga New Year.

“It would not be appropriate to attach any significance to them,” MEA spokesperson Vikas Swarup told IANS. Ambassador Misri did not respond to an email sent to him by IANS. Swarup said in response to a query that “the Indian Ambassador to Myanmar was present at a state level festival organised on January 13-15, 2017 in Lahe, in the Naga Self Administered

New Delhi, Jan 20 (Agencies): A Muslim party leader, Asaduddin Owaisi, on Friday described an ongoing agitation over the ban on Jallikattu as a “lesson for Hindutva forces”, linking the protests in Tamil Nadu to the Centre’s efforts to introduce a common civil code in the country.

His comment is likely to fuel the debate over the proposed Uniform Civil Code which aims to review the Muslim community’s personal laws on divorce and polygamy, said to heavily loaded against women.

“Jallikattu protests, lesson for Hindutva forces,” Owaisi tweeted, adding that “Uniform Civil Code cannot be imposed”.

“This nation cannot have one culture, we celebrate all,” he said.

He, however, did not explain the link between the protests and the Hindu right-wing.

Culture over court

amilians from the state of Tamil Nadu rose up against the ban on their traditional festival ‘Jallikattu’ by the Supreme Court practiced in Tamil Nadu as a part of Pongal celebrations on Mattu Pongal day. In Jallikattu, multiple human participants attempt to grab and tightly “hug” the large hump of the bull and hang on to it while the bull attempts to escape. Whoever manages to hold onto the bull’s hump for at least three jumps wins.

Animal activists, the Federation of Indian Animal Protection Organisations(FIAPO) and PETA India have protested against the practice since 2004.

The animal rights activists allege that the activity( also being dubbed as sport) perpetrated extreme cruelty on the animal(bull) to the extent that in many instances they become maimed or die. Even human participants also get fatally injured. Other animal welfare concerns surround the handling before the bulls are released. Practices include prodding the bull with sticks or scythes, and extreme bending and biting of the bull’s tail. The massive uprising against the ban on “Jallikattu” in Tamil Nadu was unprecedented by any standards. It came before the Pongal began and which created strong emotions to hold ‘Jallikattu” despite the current ban by the Supreme Court. Thousands of youngsters thronging the Marina beach in Chennai sent a strong message to the nation, that come what may, they will not relent till the ban is lifted. The massive outpouring of emotions was not lost on Prime Minister Narendra Modi who also acknowledged its cultural significance . However when the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister urged him to issue an ordinance to override the Supreme Court’s judgment, Modi was correct to say it was sub-judice. The ban on such events by the Supreme Court is not exclusively against jallikattu.

The apex court had banned similar sports in Punjab, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Goa as well. However, sensing the mood in Tamil Nadu, the prime minister and the government had assured they would do everything within their means to ensure that demand of the Tamil Nadu government and its people will be taken care of. The people want to have their Jallikattu insisting that it is part of their cultural heritage and are determined that no ban from any court will be acceptable and therefore, as a people the court ban must recognise their culture and lift it. They have also demanded a ban on animal rights organisation PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), which has lobbied hard to ensure the ban on Jallikattu. Animal rights activists allege that the organisers of Jallikattu drug the bulls to make them unsteady and throw chilli powder in their faces to agitate them as they are released from a holding pen. Bowing to the people’s wishes the Supreme Court has also agreed to postpone or delay its ruling on the petition filed by animal rights activists against lifting the ban.Scores of Tamil luminaries from various fields have also thrown their weight behind Jallikattu and made it clear they will go all the way till the ban is lifted.The issue they raised was that culture far outweighs the interpretation of the courts.

Perhaps that is the essence that has won the day for the people of Tamil Nadu.

DailyDevotion Are You Fresh for Everything?

Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” —John 3:3 Sometimes we are fresh and eager to attend a prayer meeting, but do we feel that same freshness for such mundane tasks as polishing shoes?

Being born again by the Spirit is an unmistakable work of God, as mysterious as the wind, and as surprising as God Himself. We don’t know where it begins— it is hidden away in the depths of our soul. Being born again from above is an enduring, perpetual, and eternal beginning. It provides a freshness all the time in thinking, talking, and living— a continual surprise of the life of God. Staleness is an indication that something in our lives is out of step with God. We say to ourselves, “I have to do this thing or it will never get done.” That is the first sign of staleness. Do we feel fresh this very moment or are we stale, frantically searching our minds for something to do? Freshness is not the result of obedience; it comes from the Holy Spirit. Obedience keeps us “in the light as He is in the light…” (1 John 1:7).

Jealously guard your relationship with God. Jesus prayed “that they may be one just as We are one” — with nothing in between (John 17:22). Keep your whole life continually open to Jesus Christ. Don’t pretend to be open with Him. Are you drawing your life from any source other than God Himself? If you are depending on something else as your source of freshness and strength, you will not realize when His power is gone.

Being born of the Spirit means much more than we usually think. It gives us new vision and keeps us absolutely fresh for everything through the never-ending supply of the life of God.

Quotes The person who makes a success of living is the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. That is dedication. ~ Cecil B. DeMille

Post-mortem

view to NPF Was Luke the Gospel writer Christian? Laymen’s on Kheto’s remarks L T uke the Gospel Writer was not heard baptized anywhere, he was not heard a Member of any Church in Judea or elsewhere.

The name recorded as Lucius among the first Christians at Antioch Syria in the Gospel of Acts 11:26, could not be the Gospel Writer because by then Luke was not seen in contact with any of the followers of Jesus.

We heard him first only in Troas when Paul reached that City in his Second Missionary Journey Luke himself wrote in ACTS of the New Testament.

Scholars have remarked Luke more likely is a Macedonian of Philippi than his namesake Lucius from Cyrene in the ACTS. If so Luke is the only non-Jew and gentile Gospel Writer.

Luke more likely a Gentile was not reported or seen enter any Jewish Synagogues in any of the Cities Paul preached. We have not heard him enter the Temple at Jerusalem.

However, the most important information that Luke a Gentile is found in Paul’s letter to the Colossians (4:11) in which Paul mentioned the names of the Circumcised who were with him in his last days, and in the list he did not include Luke; he included Luke in the list of the non-Jews.

In his well-educated Writings, Luke more often used Greek term ‘Master’ for the Jewish ‘Rabi’. His independent quotations of Old Testament passages are fewer in number than that of Mathew who has 28; perhaps the most except that of Paul’s.

This perhaps supports the view that Luke a Gentile had not much Old Testament background.

Luke wrote Paul’s Second Missionary Journey (Act. 15:38-40) and described Paul’s Tour Group in Pronouns of ‘We’, ‘Us’ and ‘Our’.

Before that he used ‘They’, ‘Them’ and ‘Their’ for the Group. His Grammar indicates He accompanied Paul from Troas to Philippi and then to other Cities until Paul returned to Jerusalem from Philippi, and Luke stayed back at Philippi.

Luke was a Physician Doctor, says Scholars, because Luke in his writings used universal medical phrases like ‘thrown down to the Ground’ for Epileptic seizure. When quoting Jesus, describing the difficulty of Rich Men entering the Kingdom of God, Luke used the word ‘balone’, -Greek- for Needle- than ‘raphis’ the Tailor’s Needle, says Scholars. Luke instinctively used the Doctor’s term of Balone for Needle because he was a medical Doctor. Luke was an educated person too and those who know

Greek say his Greek is good.

When Paul was in Asia near the border of Macedonia, he saw a Vision of a Macedonian inviting him to Macedonia. Immediately, leaving Asia Minor, Paul crossed over to the Roman Colony of Philippi in Macedonia and to other Gentile Cities. All along, Luke was with Paul until Paul returned to Philippi and started for return Journey back to Jerusalem.

Sometime after his Second Journey, Paul made a 3rd Visit Journey apparently alone (Act 18: 23) to the West. At Philippi, (Act. 20: 6) Luke again joined him; possibly Luke is a native of Philippi (the Writer’s own view). From then on, Luke faithfully was with Paul up to Paul’s final farewell departure for Jerusalem.

At Jerusalem, Paul was promptly arrested near the Temple on allegation of defaming the Jewish Scripture and the Sacred Temple. The Jews plotted to kill Paul and Luke was with him; however, strict Law & Order abiding Roman Centurion plucked out Paul from the Mob and the Commander secretly at night sent him under strong Guard of 400 Soldiers and 70 Horseman to the Mediterranean Port of Roman Government Head Quarter City Caesarea 60 miles away. Paul remained there in detention for 2 years. In all these years, Luke faithfully stayed with Paul, then finally accompanied Paul to Rome, and stayed with him there until the last.

Why did an unknown Gentile stuck to the company of an unknown Jew preaching a strange new Creed call THE WAY? Scholars say Luke must have written the ‘Gospel of Luke’ during his 2 years in Caesarea. From dates of Transfers and Postings of the Governors of Judea in the Records of the Roman Empire, we know Governor Festus of Judea handed over the Charge to Felix during 5658, it is generally taken Luke could have written the Gospel of Luke from Caesarea during 56 – 58 AD. Luke was not an Eyewitness of Jesus; he wanted to thoroughly know the life of Jesus who Paul preached the Son of God, the Savior of All Man; at Caesarea, Luke had great opportunities of meeting Christians from Jerusalem and Antioch Churches who had Eyewitness account of Jesus. He gathered his information of Jesus from other Eyewitnesses and contemporaries too. People talked about the wonderful story of ONE JESUS whom Paul vouched prepared to give his own life!

Luke gathered the information of not only from his Mentor Paul

but also from the Apostles of Jesus, Peter, John, Jakob and even from the brothers of Jesus of Nazareth, Mary the mother of Jesus had stories of Jesus stored in her Heart, and very carefully so. Luke’s accounts are a meticulous compilation from the accounts from those who have been Eyewitness and contemporaries of Jesus.

Mathew’s list of ancestors of Jesus surprisingly included Women like former prostitute Rahab and non-Jew Ruth. Mathew starts the list from Joseph and ends in Patriarch Abraham. However, Luke starts the list from Joseph and ends in Adam then God. Luke’s account of the Gospel of Christ is very exhaustive.

Luke’s Story of the life of Jesus changed an uncircumcised like he into a circumcised of Heart for Jesus and Luke wanted to tell the whole story to Theophilus.

Who is this Theophilus?

Theophilus, as the name suggest must have been likely a high Gentile Roman Government Official. The Gospels records several Roman Officials become ‘Worshiper of God’ and followers of Jesus. To this Writer however, whom could the one Roman Official nearer to Luke be than the one at ACTS 16: 25– 34, very sincere in his duty, very compassionate at heart and humble, the Jailer of Prison at Philippi.

After the sudden Earthquake, the Jailer found Paul and Silas with the other Prisoners free of the Chains that bound them, inside Paul’s open door Cell with no intension of running away; the Jailer “fell trembling before Paul and Silas and asked Paul”: “Sirs what shall I do to be saved”?

Paul and Silas replied: “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved –you and your household. Then they spoke the Word of the Lord to him and all the others in his house” To whom would Luke want to write to, as soon as possible, than to this Jailer who fell trembling before his Prisoners, washed them of their wounds, dressed them, take them to his own Residence and fed them at 12 O’clock at Night and recommend them to be released from the Jail?

A decade or so after the incident, Luke longed now, to let the Jailer know the whole story of “the Lord in an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus”!

he NPF party of the Government of the day seems to be so blinded as a blind follower that it was so ignorant and blind to look into the facts of various issues of misgovernance pointed out by BJP member Mr. Kheto Sema ex-minister. What needs to be seen and acknowledged is that the person and party in picture took real courage to spell out its own Alliance, an NPF led DAN Alliance government’s failure to perform its duties as a responsible mandated Government.

The NPF party which off late has inculcated the habit of giving out counter statement in support of the government on all issues that is raised by the concerned members or organizations of our society, should instead pull up its Government on the various issues that is confronting us in the best interest and in the welfare of the people which is its top priority.

One need not lecture on the responsibilities that is expected of a responsible political party or for that matter, any other organizations yet in the best interest of our society the NPF party is prayed upon to instead address the core issues in the betterment of our society.

Kindly address the issues of 15 minutes Assembly where the Chief Minister stated that there was no issues to be discussed.

It was an insult to the Naga society to only sit for 15 minutes by your government at the time when our society is diseased by various issues that is confronting us.

I would also want the NPF to look into the alleged corruptions of its government in various government departments. The rice scam, fuel adulteration racket busted by ACAUT, the issues of alleged backdoor appointments, Stalled Development activities, are some genuine core issues that need the serious attention of the party in power. Please be mindful that your government instead of trying to sort out issues choose to use all the machineries to suppress the agitation against its misgovernance.

I would also want the party not to go blind on issues of the Government Teachers salary that is never ending. Instead of giving out the teachers their due salaries, your government chooses to baptize the protesting teachers who are responsible for shaping our society’s tomorrow.

The NPF party if wish to remain in power should also not be so ignorant, can also look into the issues of pond-like potholes in the roads of your government and not to forget the erratic irregular electricity supply. These are the basic necessities of our society which your government has failed to provide.

May I also bring to your notice that the government is running on deficit to the tone of thousand crores. Instead of putting out rejoinders, please use that amount of time and knowledge used to write-up a rejoinder to find solutions to the financial strain instead of banking on the Indian government to come to our aide.

May I also point out that the school infrastructure needs immediate attention of the government? Some school infrastructure is almost in the form of cow-shed, the books are not distributed in time, Students scholarship issues etc.. Kindly look into the problems and plights of our society’s tomorrow instead of always siding with your government.

Needless to say, yet all problems and issues cannot be addressed and solved at one go or neither it is expected of the government to address and satisfy all the issues that is concerns us yet it is expected of the government to work out and bring about a little reformations on the issues.

I have been a positive critic of your governments day to day functionings, we are the base on which the government of the day has been formed and as a concerned citizen it is our bounden duty to pull up the government to perform the duties that is expected of it. The government of the day is the seed of NPF party and as such instead of making a mockery of itself by defending and giving counter statement on issues to which the citizens are not blind to, the parties in pictures are requested to be far sighted and be mindful of the responsibilities it have in hand.

Steve chophy, concerned citizen.

Connecting Naga customary law with 33% reservation for Naga women (From Previous issue...)

The advocates of the women reservation argues that Naga women are discriminated and subjugated by the Naga menfolk. The premise of their argument is built on the denial of ‘inheritance rights’ to women and noninclusion of women in the apex decision-making bodies of a given tribe. Which are all true as far as the customs of our fore-fathers are concerned but for reasons which are meant to protect and preserve our ancestral land and which in turn shall protect and preserve our identity and our cultural roots.

Apart from these two areas where our women-folks face “discriminations” no one can deny the fact that a Naga father or brother or for that matter a Naga man will never discriminate their daughters or sisters or women-folk just because they are women. We all know that if our ancestral properties were to be open for inheritance even by daughters, then their sons and daughters too shall inherit the same properties which may not be a problem if the husband were to be from the same village, tribe and khel.

However, if the husband were to be from a different tribe or a non-Naga then the possession of a property in a Naga village is transferred to an outsider or a non-Naga.

If a large number of the women of that hypothetical village were to own ancestral property and marries nonNaga men, then that Naga village will no longer have the natural feature of a Naga village. At this point we need to remember that we are who we are for the simple reason that we trace our root to our ancestral land.

In other words our identity is tied to our ancestral land, that is, our native village and if our native village is socially extinct our roots also disappears thereby making us a non-entity.Another politi-

cal situation often quoted to reinforce the claim that Naga society suffers from gender biasness is the absence of women legislators in the State Assembly. Naga customary law does not prohibit Naga women from contesting for any elective posts under the modern democratic system.

Some women have contested in the past but they were unable to secure the support of the majority of the electorate.

The reason for this failure could be unqualified candidature or inability to convince the voters or lack of financial capability and therefore could not develop “muscle” power, etc. In fact the existing political environment of our state is not conducive for any honest and capable leader to contest for the elective post – both man and woman. Come to think of it, I guess there should also be some percentage of reservation for man who is making an honest living and therefore do not possess hundreds of crores of rupees in his account but has the heart to serve the people through leadership and representation.

There’s a big confusion concerning 33% reservation of elective seats in Urban Local Bodies for Naga women and Naga customary law.

There’s no explicit connection between the two for the simple reason that reservation is a modern concept for amelioration of the under-developed and under-privileged societies based on the principle of equity or parity.

The adoption of this reservation policy has more long term impact on our customs than what we can perceive today. In the first instance as mentioned by several other writers and above, Naga men do not discriminate Naga women in the manner that our women-folks are living a subjugated life with no opportunities for their selfdevelopment. In fact I am not

critical of the amelioration of women per se, but the manner of its implementation is what I am critical about.

The policy of reservation either for a social group or for women will only promote mediocrity within the affected society.

No doubt we have greatly benefited from this policy of reservation for ST, but let us look back and study the quality of achievements we have made. The present pathetic scenario of our state covering every realm of our lives speaks volumes about the depth of depravity we Nagas have fallen into.

I believe there is no further need to say anything in this regard. Many of our intellectuals have said in the print media as well as in the social media that the reservation policy is only going to benefit those who are already in the position of power and influence. On the other hand the women from the lower strata will not benefit even one grain of ‘empowerment’.

The policy of reservation is a modern concept originating from the bounds of the Indian society, a highly stratified society and when we accept and adopt this policy we are acknowledging that Naga customary laws requires external forces to make it relevant to the contemporary changing conditions.

It ultimately implies that Naga customary law is never sacrosanct but open to change through forces from outside.

Change per se is inevitable and necessary but it must originate from within so as to prevent undesirable changes detrimental to the existence of small ethnic social groups emanating from other societies. Under Art 243 T of the Indian constitution the State Assembly must provide reservation by law for women which if implemented open our customs to changes by non-Nagas without understanding the ground reality

of the stage of evolution of our Naga society towards civilization.

Under Section 4(b) of the VDB Model Rules 1980 1/4th or 25% of the posts in the Management Committee are reserved for women.

Now this provision which was incorporated within the rural local self-government system in our state without any overt signs of opposition from any quarter of our Naga society has been used as “Precedence” to buttress the claim that the policy of reservation for Naga women has already been practiced and as such accepted.

Now when this section of the VDB Model Rules can be quoted as precedence today for justification of adopting the reservation for women in the ULBs, the Reservation for elective posts for Naga women in the ULBs can be cited as precedence for future changes within the Naga society under the ambit of

Naga customary laws and practices.

In other words, we are setting the stage for the chain reaction to take place in the near future which might expose our Naga way of living to socio-cultural extinction through gradual erosion of the Naga customs and practices which distinguishes us as a Naga.

Regarding the non-inclusion of Naga women in the apex tribal bodies, the time and need has arisen for their inclusion but not on the basis of the method prescribed by external forces.

Let the process for change concerning Naga women emerge from within the bounds of our Naga customary law and practices.

Our fore-fathers have taught us to equally respect man and woman, and as we amend the Naga customs and practices for the amelioration of the lives of our womenfolks there is a need to develop

mutual trust and respect.

When we make necessary changes by ourselves in this context we adapt to the new situation without jeopardizing our roots and identity.

In brief, Naga women need the measure of equity but through a mutual consensus of discarding irrelevant ideas and adopting new measures.

Art 371A of the Indian constitution prevents any outside interference to our culture and change can be brought in only with the consent of the Naga people through their elected representatives.

Let us not act in such a foolish manner that in a hurry to eat meat we ended up killing the only boar which sows the seeds for more piglets (meat) in the days to come.

Reader’s Post

Lest the future generation should blame us Sir,

The recent fiasco of the ULB election nominations and withdrawal has really brought our Naga society into the limelight. While some section opposed the 33% reservation in the ULB, the other section has been most adamant to carry out the same. Well, at the end of the day the election will be conducted albeit with a few candidates, mostly political parties that will go to the fray. Funding for urban development would come from the centre and for any state to develop, it is indeed necessary to have civic bodies. However, in our Naga context as very vividly pointed out by some learned scholars, advocates have already pinpointed out the reasons as to why 33% reservation for women is not advisable in our society. Many common people have no idea about the implications of article 371 A and its clauses. People parrot that 33% reservation is against Naga customs and traditions while some sing the other side. Nonetheless, it is better if the government of the day take time to study the matter seriously before taking any further decision. It is imperative that people understand what 33% reservation is actually about and whether it is applicable for Nagas or not. History may have been made by some but history will not forgive if wrong step is taken against all odds at this stage. This ULB election fiasco needs to be carefully reviewed by the powers that be so that the future generation does not blame or curse us.

While protecting the rights of women, it is also important that any decision taken now does not thwart them in future. There are so many capable Naga women who can still stand for open election rather than resort to the reservation.

A girl child holding a placard against the verdict banning Jallikattu.

stayed back in the national capital yesterday after his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, announced in the morning that the state government would issue an ordinance in a day or two to allow Jallikattu.

A draft of the ordinance has already been given to the Union Home Ministry for getting President’s consent after which the Governor would issue it. “After getting the assent of President Pranab Mukherjee tomorrow, an ordinance will be promulgated by our Governor to amend the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act,” he said on his arrival in Chennai. He said legal steps would be taken to remove “all obstacles” in the way of holding the sport.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh, on whom a large delegation of AIADMK MPs called, Environment Minister Anil Dave and Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad gave assurances of early steps by the Centre to resolve the issue soon.

Parallely, Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi

told the Supreme Court that the Centre was in talks with Tamil Nadu to find a way out in the matter after which the court agreed not to pass judgement for a week on the Jallikattu issue.

SC delays verdict on Jallikattu by another week

The Supreme Court on Friday agreed not to pass judgement for a week on the Jallikattu issue, while taking into account the Centre’s submission that they were in talks with Tamil Nadu to find a way out in the matter.

Attor ney General Mukul Rohatgi mentioned the matter before a bench comprising Justices Dipak Misra and R Banumati that people of Tamil Nadu are “passionate” about Jallikattu and the Central government and the state are trying to resolve the issue.

“The Centre and the state are in talks to find a way out in the matter and our request is that the court should not deliver the judgement for at least a week,” Rohatgi told the bench. Hearing the AG’s

brief submission, the bench said “Okay”. On Thursday, the apex court said the issue of protecting the agitating supporters of the bulltaming sport can be raised before the Madras High Court. The apex court had reserved its verdict on 7 December last year on a batch of petitions challenging the Centre’s notification allowing the sport.

On the next day, the Centre had issued a notification lifting the ban on Jallikattu in Tamil Nadu with certain restrictions, which was challenged in the apex court by Animal Welfare Board of India, People for Ethical Treatment of Animals India, a Bangalore-based NGO and others.

The Supreme Court had on 21 January last year refused to re-examine its 2014 judgement banning use of bulls for Jallikattu events or bullock-cart races across the country.

It had also stayed the 8 January notification of Centre and questioned the Centre over the notification allowing use of bulls in events like Jallikattu, saying that its 2014 verdict banning the use of the animals cannot be “negated”.

The court in its 2014 judgement had said that bulls cannot be used as performing animals, either for Jallikattu events or bullockcart races in the states of Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra or elsewhere in the country, and had banned their use across the country.

The apex court had also earlier declared Tamil Nadu Regulation of Jallikattu Act, 2009 as constitutionally void, being violative of Article 254(1) of the Constitution.

HC raps SIT report on Murthal gangrapes

Damaged cars on national highway 1, at Murthal town near Sonipat in Haryana on February 23, 2016. 4

Chandigarh, Jan 20 (AGENCIES): The Punjab and Haryana high court on Thursday criticised the special investigation team (SIT) constituted by the Haryana government to probe the alleged Murthal gangrapes during the Jat quota agitation last February, saying there was enough evidence to indicate that the incident did occur.

The court also stayed the framing of charges against five people, who were accused of offences such as rioting, looting and molestation in a chargesheet filed by the SIT in August.

The gangrape charges were dropped in a supplementary chargesheet filed the next month.

The bench, comprising justices SS Saron and Darshan Singh, said two different statements provided by witnesses and various pieces of evidence – such as semensplattered clothes found at the scene – went to disprove the probe team’s claim that no gangrapes occurred on that day. It then asked the SIT to find the offenders, so as to “instil confidence in the public”.

JAIPUR, JAN 20 (IANS): Manmohan Vaidya, head of the RSS’ communications department, sparked a row here on Friday, saying that no reservations should continue for a long time and that the reason behind the poor socioeconomic status of the Muslims is because a vast majority of them belong to economically backward states.

In the closing session on the second day of the lit fest, “Of Saffron and the Sangha”, Manmohan Vaidya and RSS joint general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale were participating in a discussion with journalist Pragya Tiwari, attended by Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje among others.

“It has been widely held that no reservations should continue for too long as it begins to be taken for granted. On Muslims, we have seen that 68-70 per cent of the Muslims live in Bengal, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, which in themselves are very ‘pichre’ (backward) regions. So their poor socio-economic status is well understood.

“These issues are to be addressed within the community. What is keeping them behind. This should be done for all communities, not just for one,” Vaidya said.

Elaborating further, he said: “The subject of reservation has been there for SCs/STs in a very different context.

resident of Delhi, and Raj Kumar, a taxi driver.

As the hearing began, amicus curiae (an impartial advisor to a court of law) Anupam Gupta said records showed that the SIT – without keeping the high court in the loop – informed the trial court of gangrape charges being deleted from the FIR last September. The same was then reiterated before another high court bench, which was hearing the bail pleas of the accused.

This casts serious doubts on the investigation being carried out by the SIT, Gupta said.

The amicus curiae then said it was highly improper of the SIT to make taxi driver Raj Kumar – who claimed to have seen a woman being dragged out of her car – record his statement before a magistrate only in October 2016, two months after a challan was submitted to a trial court.

Gupta dubbed it as an attempt to “sanitise” the investigation, adding that the SIT head – inspector general of police (IGP) Mamta Singh – had committed “professional impropriety”.

New Delhi, Jan 20 (Agencies): The BJP has chosen to highlight the Rs 5 crore Lamborghini of Prateek Yadav, Mulayam Singh Yadav’s younger son, in its attack on the ruling Samajwadi Party ahead of the assembly elections in the politically crucial Uttar Pradesh.

Prateek grabbed media attention last week when he was seen in the blue Lamborghini Huracan in Lucknow as his father and uncle Shivpal Yadav were locked in a bitter power tussle with his brother and chief minister Akhilesh Yadav till a few days ago.

The Bharatiya Janata Party has released a video on Facebook claiming that Prateek is not interested in politics but assured a ticket for his wife Aparna to contest the upcoming elections.

The 2-minute video begins as Prateek is shown revving the Lamborghini and then speeding away on the streets of Lucknow, the state capital. “Rs 5 crore ki Lamborghini par sawaar samajwad (The Samajwadi ideology riding on a Rs 5-crore Lamborghini),” the caption describes the scene.

The party says that although Prateek claims that he has no interest in politics, he managed a ticket for his wife Aparna Yadav to contest the state polls. She will contest from the Lucknow Cantonment (Cantt) area.

The saffron party has also claimed that controversial UP minister Gayatri Prajapati is his business partner and that it was Prateek who facilitated Parajapati’s return to the party.

SS Chauhan, who was a second lieutenant in Indian Army’s Sixth Rajput Battalion, was posted in Srinagar when he was court-martialled on various charges and also declared a deserter and mentally unstable.

The rank of a second lieutenant is no longer in use in the army and all new officers are commissioned as lieutenants.

Passing the judgment on Thursday, justice DP Singh and air marshal Anil Chopra quashed Chauhan’s court-martial and ordered the defence ministry to reinstate the officer as well as

Jallikattu: Centre clears Ordinance

CHENNAI/NEW DELHI, JAN 20 (PTI): Decks were cleared tonight for an ordinance on Jallikattu after Tamil Nadu and the Centre worked feverishly even as the state stood on the edge and protesters on Marina beach and elsewhere refused to relent until the sport is held.

They said they welcome the efforts to promulgate an ordinance for allowing the sport but they would not withdraw the agitation until the event is held.

A draft ordinance prepared by the Tamil Nadu government was vetted by the Home Ministry. It was late in the night approved by the Ministries of Law and Environment for President’s assent. Earlier, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam, who

However, as they failed to do so in the stipulated time, they have been taken off from flying duties last month and given ground jobs,” a source said.

This is the second time in last over a year-and-half that the national carrier has taken such an action against its bulky cabin crew members as in September 2015 also, it had taken off 125 such employees from flying duty after they failed to maintain weight as per the mandatory norms.

A BMI of 25-29.9 for male crew is considered overweight and 30 and above is obese, while for females BMI of 22-27 is overweight and 27 and above obese. The BMI is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women.

They said Patel told the committee that demonetisation has short-term impact on the economy but would be beneficial in the medium and long-term.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had on November 8 last year announced demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes.

Under the scheme, holders of unaccounted cash willing to avail the offer will have to first pay the tax amount and then fill up a challan form provided by the bank for availing the four-year deposit scheme.

The authorised banks have to electronically furnish the details of deposit to the Revenue Department on the next working day to enable information verification of the deposit before accepting the declaration under the PMGKY. Full confidentiality of the data would be ensured by the RBI and authorised banks.

The amendment to the notification comes after the I-T department spotted irregularities in deposits of cooperative banks following demonetisation.

trying to come out with a new mechanism to bring down online transaction costs and was in talks with all stakeholders including banks.

Asked by the members about several-fold increase in deposits in cooperative banks following demonetisation, Patel is learnt to have said the matter was being probed by Financial Intelligence Unit-India (FIU-IND).

Earlier this week, the RBI Governor had told the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance the new currency notes, worth Rs 9.2 lakh crore, were introduced into the financial system post demonetisation.

One of the PAC members told Patel there was a huge mismatch between the cash deposited and the actual cash in the cooperative banks.

New Delhi, Jan 20 (PTI): The government has barred cooperative banks from accepting deposits under the new tax amnesty scheme PMGKY, a move that comes amidst the Income Tax department uncovering anomalies post demonetisation.

After junking old 500 and 1,000 rupee notes, the Centre had come up with an amnesty scheme for holders of unaccounted cash by asking them to pay 50 per cent tax and parking one-fourth of it in a no-interest bearing four-year deposit.

This deposit could be made with any banks.

But now cooperative banks have been barred from accepting such deposits. The PMGKY scheme is open till March 31.

NEW DELHI, Jan 20 (IANS): Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Urjit Patel on Friday is learnt to have told a parliamentary committee that cash flow post-demonetisation will normalise soon but might take longer in rural and remote areas.

He also said demonetisation would be beneficial for the economy in medium and long term.

Patel, according to informed sources, told the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament the situation of cash flow in the country was “almost normal” in urban areas.

He added that efforts were on to improve the cash flow to rural and remote areas in the country.

“It will take a few more weeks for the situation to improve in rural and remote areas,” the sources quoted him as saying.

IS destroys Roman Theatre in Palmyra

BEIRUT/PARIS, JAN 20 (AGENCIES): Islamic State group militants destroyed a landmark ancient Roman monument and parts of the theatre in Syria’s historic town of Palmyra, the government and opposition monitoring groups said Friday.

Maamoun Abdulkarim, the head of Syria’s antiquities department, said the militants destroyed the facade of the second-century theatre along with the Tetrapylon, a cubic-shaped ancient Roman monument that sits in the middle of the colonnade road that leads to the theatre.

Abdulkarim told The Associated Press that reports of the destruction first trickled out of the IS-held town late in December. But satellite images of the damage were only available late Thursday, confirming the destruction. The imagery, provided by the US-based American Schools of Oriental Research, show significant damage to the Tetrapylon and the theatre. The ASOR said the damage is likely caused by intentional destruction from IS but they were unable to verify the exact cause. Abdulkarim said only two of the 16 columns of the Tetrapylon remain standing. The stage backdrop has sustained damage, according to ASOR. State-run news agency SANA reported the damage Friday and Syrian opposi-

tion monitors also confirmed but gave no immediate details. The extremists recaptured the ancient town in December from government troops — nine months after IS was expelled in a Russia-backed offensive.

During their first stay, from May 2015 until May 2016, IS destroyed ancient temples including the Temple of Bel, which dated back to A.D. 32, and the Temple of Baalshamin, a structure of stone blocks several stories high fronted by six towering columns.

The militants also blew up the Arch of Triumph, which had been built under Roman emperor Septimius Severus between A.D. 193 and A.D. 211. The extremists have destroyed ancient

sites across their self-styled Islamic caliphate in Syria and Iraq, viewing them as monuments to idolatry. A desert oasis surrounded by palm trees in central Syria, Palmyra is also a strategic crossroads linking the Syrian capital, Damascus, with the country’s east and neighbouring Iraq. Located 155 miles (215 kilometres) east of Damascus, the city was once home to 65,000 people before the Syrian civil war began.

However, most Palmyra residents did not return after it was retaken by the government. Activists estimated the city is now home to a few hundred families.

Many of them tried to flee as IS recaptured the city in December. On Thursday,

reports emerged the militant group killed 12 captives it held in Palmyra, some of them beheaded in the Roman theatre.

Mexico extradites drug lord Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman to US

Five found alive under avalanche hit Italain hotel

Sinaloa following his second daring jailbreak.

President Enrique Pena Nieto previously refused to extradite Guzman, but he changed tack after his latest escape in July 2015.

He had been held most recently in prison in Ciudad Juarez, which borders Texas, after being abruptly transferred from a penitentiary near Mexico City last May. The Mexican foreign ministry said he was handed over to US authorities after the Supreme Court and a court of appeals rejected his latest bids to avoid extradition. The appeals court ruled that the extradition conformed with a bilateral treaty and that Guzman’s rights had not been violated, the statement said.

The US Justice Department extended “its gratitude to the government of Mexico for their extensive cooperation and assistance.”

But one of Guzman’s lawyers, Silvia Delgado, told Milenio television that she was surprised by the extradition, calling it “illegal” because another legal petition was pending.

In May, the Mexican foreign ministry approved extradition bids from California, where he is wanted for drug distribution, and Texas, where he faces a slew of charges including murder and money laundering.

FARINDOLA, JAN 20 (AGENCIES): Rescuers said five people were found alive in the rubble of an Italian hotel Friday, two days after an avalanche tore through the ski resort.

“We found five people alive. We’re pulling them out. Send us a helicopter,” a rescuer said over firefighters’ radio, overheard by AP photographer Gregorio Borgia who was making his way toward the remote hotel on foot before being turned away by authorities. About 30 people were trapped inside the luxury Hotel Rigopiano when the avalanche hit on Wednesday afternoon, with two people initially surviving the devastation and reporting the emergency. The ANSA news agency said the number of possible new survivors was six and that firefighting crews were in touch with them, but that they were still under the rubble.

Helicopters reportedly were on the way to the site to aid the evacuation. Search and rescue teams maintained the hope of finding survivors of an avalanche that buried a hotel under up to five meters (15 feet) of snow, even two days after the disaster. “We are hoping that the ceiling collapsed partially in some places and that someone remained underneath,” rescuer Lorenzo Gagliardi told SKY TG24.

NEW YORK, JAN 20 (AFP): Mexican drug baron Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, one of the world’s most notorious criminals, was extradited to the US to face charges on the eve of Donald Trump’s inauguration. Guzman heads the Sinaloa cartel, which is accused of generating much of the deadly violence in Mexico’s decades-long drug war and providing tons of narcotics to the United States.

The drug kingpin landed at MacArthur Airport on Long Island, the US Justice Department said. US television broadcast footage of what appeared to be his convoy arriving outside a New York jail, the street outside bristling with heavily armed US Marshalls.

His extradition caps a Hollywood-worthy catand-mouse game between

Mexican authorities and the slippery 59-year-old drug lord, who escaped from prison twice.

His feats turned him into a legend of Mexico’s underworld, with musicians singing his praises in folk ballads known as “narcocorridos” -- tributes to drug capos.

US prosecutors said Brooklyn federal attorney Robert Capers will hold a news conference at 10:00 am (1500 GMT) -- less than two hours before Trump’s inauguration -- to announce his extradition and arraignment. Guzman is charged in six separate indictments throughout the United States, one of which is in New York.

The drug baron had fought desperately against extradition since being recaptured almost exactly a year ago in his home state of

N Koreans forced to memorise Kim’s New Year’s speech SEOUL, JAN 20 (IANS): North Korea is urging its people to memorise its leader Kim Jong-un’s New Year’s address by offering giveaways, a US broadcaster reported on Friday.

“Local parties and labour organisations are pushing for various events, including contests to learn the address by heart as well as oratorical ones,” Radio Free Asia said, citing a source in North Korea’s Ryanggang Province. N. Korean authorities have ordered organisations to complete the contests by Friday, and will give winners N.Koreanmade tablet PCs and goosedown winter clothing.

IS destruction at Palmyra a ‘war crime’: UNESCO

The destruction by Islamic State jihadists of two key cultural sites in Syria’s ancient city of Palmyra is a “war crime”, UNESCO said today. “This destruction is a new war crime and an immense loss for the Syrian people and for humanity,” Irina Bokova, director general of the UN cultural agency, said in a statement following reports that IS destroyed Palmyra’s tetrapylon monument and the facade of the city’s Roman amphitheatre.

Japan for inclusion of Christian sites in World Heritage TOKYO, JAN 20 (IANS): Ja p a n o n Fr i d ay a n nounced it will ask the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) to include 12 Christian sites in its list of World Heritage Sites.

The 12 sites, which tell of the country’s unique Christian history and have been chosen for their cultural importance, are located in the Nagasaki and Kumamoto prefectures, the cradle of Christianity in Japan, Efe news reported.

They include the Oura Church, the country’s oldest church, designated a national treasure, and the Sakitsu village, where Kakure Kirishitan or “Hidden Christians” lived during the persecution of Christians in Japan in the 18th century.

In addition to the two sites, Japan will also ask Unesco to include some of the islands of the Kagoshima and Okinawa prefectures, known for their rich biodiversity.

The proposal will be sent to the UN agency before February, the Japanese Foreign Ministry said.

After an inspection of the sites, the international body will decide if these places will finally be designated as World Heritage Sites in the year 2018. There are currently 20 world heritage sites in Japan.

France’s Marine Le Pen leads U.S. strikes in in fresh survey by Le Monde Libya kill more PARIS, JAN 20 (AGENCIES): French far-right National Front party leader Marine Le Pen has gained popularity among French voters as per a freshly conducted survey by Le Monde. For the first round of the presidential elections, Marine Le Pen has gained favor of French voters. The Le Monde survey shows Le Pen having support from 25-26 percent of voters compared to Republican candidate Francois Fillon. For the current survey, 15,921 people were interviewed.

During survey conducted in mid-December last year, Fillon was leading with 28 percent support from voters. Le Pen was trailing at 25 percent of support from French voters. Le Pen has claimed that Trump winning the U.S. Presidential Elections has given support to ideas of her party. European leadership is closely watching the French elections.

The first two candidates during the first round of elections will face each other during the second round. The second-round voting will be conducted on May 7. European Commissioner Pierre Moscovici said that Le Pen has little chance of winning the presidential elections.

Moscovici said, “I’m not worried about Madame Le Pen being president. I don’t want Madame Le

Le Pen urges end to ‘Superpower’ of EU

Marine Le Pen said Friday that it was high time to put an end to the superpower of the European Union and give French citizens back the control of their country.

She added that she intended to take control over the French borders, return monetary Paris its independence and “give back the floor to the people of France.”

Le Pen, who is one of the most vocal critics of the European Union, has been blaming the bloc for stripping France of its sovereignty. The National Front leader, a presidential candidate, pledged to hold a referendum on the country’s exit from the European Union.

WASHINGTON, JAN 20 (AGENCIES): More than 80 Islamic State militants, some of whom were believed to be plotting attacks in Europe, died in U.S. air strikes on camps outside the group’s former North African stronghold of Sirte in Libya, the United States said on Thursday.

“These strikes were directed against some of ISIL’s external plotters,” U.S Defense Secretary Ash Carter told a Pentagon briefing, using an acronym for Islamic State, the Syria- and Iraq-based militant group.

“They certainly are people who ... were actively plotting operations in Europe, and may also have been connected with some attacks that have already occurred in Europe,” Carter said.

The U.S. attack on Wednesday night was led by two B-2 bombers, which took off from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri to carry out a 30-hour roundtrip bombing run. They dropped about 100 precision-guided munitions on the camps.

The attack took place 28 miles (45 km) southwest of Sirte, targeting fighters fleeing Libyan forces clearing them from Sirte with support from U.S. air strikes.

Libyan forces finished retaking the city in early December after a nearly sevenmonth battle.

India Edition of the Handshake Concert to be launched in Bengaluru

T

he Rattle & Hum Music Society is launching the India Edition of the Handshake Concert to commemorate the 10th Year Anniversary at Bengaluru on January 21. The event is being organised in collaboration with the Naga Students Union of Bangalore and the event will be attended

Woody Harrelson shoots live movie

W

oody Harrelson said directing his ground-breaking live film project was like “walking on a high wire”.

Lost in London was filmed in multiple locations in the capital in the early hours of Friday.

In a cinematic first, the film was shot in a 100minute single take and broadcast live to 550 US

cinemas - and one in the UK. But the project was almost derailed by the discovery of a suspected World War Two bomb just hours before the shoot.

Waterloo Bridge where the closing scene of the film takes place - was closed for a few hours but reopened just in time for the live shoot to go ahead as planned.

Speaking after the filming ended around 03:40 GMT, Harrelson was incredulous at the timing of the “bomb” discovery.

“That thing has been there for 70 years and they discover it tonight? That’s impossible!”

Lost In London was shot on a single camera, involved a crew of 325 and more than 300 extras who had been rehearsing for four weeks.

“I would never do this again. No way. It felt like walking on a high wire,” said Harrelson afterwards.

There were no major gaffes - although one actor walked out of a scene, forcing Harrelson to ad lib during a phone call until the character returned.

“It felt like five minutes,” Harrelson said. “It was only a matter of seconds. But, boy, those were some painful seconds.”

and South Korea. While providing an international platform for artists, musicians and cultural ambassadors, the event also creates a better appreciation of the country’s people, culture and heritage to the global community. The India Edition aspires to strive towards the same vision by bringing artists and cultural ambassadors from different regions and corners of the country under the Handshake umbrella and not only promote the performers and our more than 3000 year old heritage but also contribute towards understanding, mutual appreciation and unity.

A team of artists, officials and technical organisers have arrived in Bengaluru led by the President of the Society, Theja Meru, who is himself a renowned musician, activist-promoter and a recipient of the Governor’s Award. Air Asia is the travel partner of the event and Rolling Stones is the official magazine partner. Other sponsors include Myntra.com, Rapsri and Royal Enfield.

Arnab decides to troll the dreaded Dawood Ibrahim, through his show and on social media, running fake stories, about how the Mafia don used to steal vegetables, harass women etc... just so that D, as it were, can invite him over for an exclusive interview. Really? But hey, that’s not what’s interesting. I’m still fixated on Arnab. As is this film.

New Delhi, Jan 20 (IANS): The Indian U-17 football team lost 0-1 to tenman Tajikistan in a 15-16th position play-off match in the Granatkin Memorial Cup in Moscow on Friday.

The Granatkin Memorial Cup featured 16 teams from across the world. India finished last with only one win from five outings, according to an All India Football Federation (AIFF) release.

King’s Cup: Barca end Sociedad hoodoo

Brazilian superstar Neymar tucks away a penalty to give Barcelona a slender lead in the Copa Del Rey quarter-finals.

M A D R I D, J a n 2 0 (Agencies): Barcelona ended a decade-long drought without winning away to Real Sociedad on Thursday as Neymar’s first-half penalty handed the Spanish champions a 1-0 Copa del Rey quarterfinal, first leg lead.

Atletico Madrid also took a huge step towards the semi-finals as goals from Antoine Griezmann, Angel Correa and Kevin Gameiro downed an understrength Eibar 3-0 at the Vicente Calderon.

Barca hadn’t won in their last eight meetings at Anoeta with coach Luis Enrique describing their

1-1 draw back in November as “almost a miracle” given how his side had been outplayed.

However, the Catalans continued signs of their return to form in a bright start that was rewarded when Neymar was clearly upended by Aritz Elustondo 20 minutes in.

Just as in the last round, Lionel Messi handed over responsibility from the spot to the Brazilian and he sent Geronimo Rulli the wrong way. Neymar should have added to Barca’s lead early in the second-half when he took a poor touch with just Rulli to beat.

And Neymar came

close again moments later when he curled just wide of the far post from a lovely Messi backheel.

S o c i e d a d e n j o ye d plenty of possession, but failed to break down the Barca defence as a dangerous cross from Yuri that just had too much pace for Mikel Oyarzabal at the far post was the closest they came.

Indeed, the hosts were fortunate not to concede a second penalty when Neymar was booked for diving 25 minutes from time despite Rulli appearing to clip his heels as the Barca forward rounded the ‘keeper. The two sides meet again for the second

In the men’s singles, Wo r l d N o. 1 9 A j a y Jayaram found the going tough against Indonesia’s Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, who beat the sixth seeded Indian 21-13 21-8 in just 28 minutes.

This was Jayaram’s third defeat to the Indonesian, having lost to him at Hyderabad Asia Team Championship and French Open as well.

Saina took her own time to get her bearing against Fitriani, who quickly opened up a 4-0

lead and consolidated her position to reach 11-6 lead at the interval.

However, the Indian soon started gathering points after the break and caught up with Fitriani at 12-12. Saina soon jumped to a 16-14 lead and then reeled off five straight points to pocket the opening game.

In the second game, Saina continued with her dominating show as she opened a 4-2 lead early on and then jumped to a 9-5 advantage before entering the breather at 11-6. Fitriani gave a fightback after the inter val and narrowed down the gap to 12-13 but Saina soon marched ahead and sealed the match.

leg at Barca’s Camp Nou on January 26.

Despite largely empty stands amidst freezing temperatures in the Spanish capital, Atletico made light work of an Eibar side shorn of many of their usual starting line-up to ensure the return leg should be a mere formality.

“It was difficult in the first-half but you could see the chances would come if we were a bit more precise and that happened in the second-half,” said Atletico boss Diego Simeone.

The hosts had the ball in the net on 25 minutes, but Stefan Savic was harshly adjudged to have been offside as he slotted home from close range.

However, Atletico had to wait only three minutes more to open the scoring when Jose Maria Gimenez beat Rodriguez to a freekick lofted into the area and Griezmann headed the Uruguayan’s knockdown into an empty net.

Ro d r i g u e z n e a r ly redeemed himself in the second-half when Yannick Carrasco bore down on goal, but despite saving the Belgian’s effort, the ball fell kindly for Correa to tap home the rebound.

Seven minutes later Atletico killed the tie off when Griezmann headed across goal from Koke’s corner and the grateful Gameiro was left unmarked to nod home.

Hales in doubt for third ODI against India Ko l kata , J a n 2 0 (Agencies): England batsman Alex Hales will undergo an X-ray on arrival in Kolkata after injuring the little finger on his right hand.

Hales sustained the injury in the field during Thursday’s defeat in the second oneday international, diving to attempt to catch a shot from centurion, Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

England lost that game in Cuttack by 15 runs and handed India victory in the series.

The opener wore a sling on his right arm as he arrived with the team at Bhubaneswar airport and will be assessed when England land at their next destination.

Should he be ruled out of Sunday’s third and final ODI, England have Sam Billings and Jonny Bairstow in reserve.

Meanwhile, England have been fined by the International Cricket Council for a slow over-rate during the second ODI. Skipper Eoin Morgan pleaded guilty to the offence after his side were found to be one over short of their target and he was fined 20 per cent of his match fee.

BCCI officials welcome SC verdict

New Delhi, Dec 20 (PTI): Some of the former officials welcomed SC’s move as it gives them an opportunity to be in the BCCI once they are through with cooling off period.

The Supreme Court verdict which stated that persons who have a cumulative tenure of 18 years in the BCCI and state units are eligible to be elected as office bearers subject to a cooling off period.

While some of the veterans like Niranjan Shah are happy, the likes of Dilip Vengsarkar welcomed the move as it gives him an opportunity to be in the BCCI. For TNCA veteran Kashi Viswanathan, his administrative career in cricket is “over” but former India team manager Biswarup Dey is “happy” as he has some breathing space.

The three-member Supreme Court bench said that the July 18 order of the Apex Court based on the Lodha C o m m i t t e e s u g ge s t i o n about the cumulative period will be 18. “Obviously, the rectification of the cumulative period to earlier 18 years is a welcome move.

The BCCI has never opposed to the Lodha reforms. We only had issues regarding age cap of 70 years, one state one vote and the cooling off period. How can you give Nagaland voting right and not have 41-time Ranji champions Mumbai as a voter,” Shah told PTI.

India can be the next big football market: Wenger London, Jan 20 (PTI): Long-serving Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes that India has the potential to become the next big football transfer powerhouse after China, with the hugely successful India Super League becoming the likely destination for some of the world’s big players.

China’s Super League clubs have been grabbing headlines in the transfer market by splurging huge fees on overseas players but with ISL gaining popularity, Wenger said India could be the next country to lure major European football

stars. “It takes years of culture and work. You don’t create a top league just like that. In England it was created 150 years ago and we still struggle,” the 67year-old Wenger said when asked about China’s Super League clubs poaching some of the world’s top players with huge salaries.

“But China has moved forward. It tries to promote football and I’m happy that football has become popular in China. I also expect India to come to the game too you know. I hope it will happen,” the Frenchman was quoted as saying by British media.

Arsene Wenger

Indian Super League already has some big names like Diego Forlan, Florent Malouda, Luis Garcia and John Arne Riise.

Wenger, however, said

that India and China should n o t ex p e c t i m m e d i a t e success.

“It’s a slow process of creating a football culture. You are educated as a little boy by your parents about football and that goes through the next generations. And that takes time to be a really big part of the population,” said Wenger, one of the the most recognisable managers in the English Premier League.

“We don’t know in 10 years’ time that China will still do it. Sometimes it’s a political decision that can change.”
