Ravi on framework agreement
No NSCN-IM cadre to be recruited in BSF, says Govt SAYS PAN NAGA ENTITY NOT A ‘SUPER-GOVERNMENT’ NEW DELHI, JUL 14
Tinakali Sümi
NE W D E L HI, J U L 14 (NPN): Government of India Interlocutor for Naga Talks, R.N. Ravi in a exclusive interview with Nagaland Post has shed some light on the August 3, 2015 Framework Agreement, separate flag and passport for Nagas, Pan Naga Hoho, sharing sovereign power among other issues. On separate flag and passport for the Nagas, Ravi said “these are issues of sentiments”. While not fully rejecting the demands made by NSCN (I-M) or admitting that such demands were not possible, Ravi maintained that “the government of India respects the sentiments; however, these can only be addressed within the realm of the possible.” Putting to rest speculations that Pan Naga Hoho will govern the Naga areas, the Interlocutor said the interpretation of it as a “super-government” was “inconsistent” with government of India’s position.
Excerpts of the interview:
Nagaland Post (NP): Nearly a year into signing of August 3, 2015 “Framework Agreement” between government of India and NSCN (I-M), do you see a perceptible progress and a road ahead between the two negotiating parties?
KVYO cautions butchers; appeals to KMC
R.N. Ravi (NP)
R.N. Ravi: The Framework Agreement signed on August 3, 2015 lays down the fundamental principles of our relationship. It fully respects the Nagas’ aspirations of recognition of their uniqueness and commits both sides to a peaceful co-existence in an inseparably inclusive relationship on the basis of sharing the mutually agreed sovereign powers . Within this Framework, details are being worked out. NP: Many have been quoted saying that contents of the agreement are being deliberately kept a secret. This has created so much speculations amongst the Nagas and the country as a whole; don’t you think Nagas deserve to know the content of the agreement meant to bring lasting solution to the Naga issue? Ravi: To say that “contents of the agreement being

Agreement and responded to their queries till they had no more question to ask. All these are on record. How can it be said that the contents are secret? Yes, the Framework Agreement has not been published as yet. I have made it clear to all the stakeholders that the Framework Agreement is not the final settlement. Hence, it would be premature to release it in the public domain. I also said that it would be published along with the full agreement as and when reached. There is no question of keeping the public in dark. NP: There are reports that government of India and NSCN (I-M) have now agreed upon four points such as -Pan Naga Hoho, Regional Autonomous District Council for Nagas inhabiting Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam, special Naga Law to be incorporated in the Indian Constitution wherein all natural resources found in the Naga areas -below the ground and on the surface would belong to the Nagas. Is there any truth in all these talks doing the round? Ravi: I have seen some media reports. These are largely speculative. At times these are mischievous. People should not be misled by them. People should wait for an official statement. (Cont’d on p-7)
(PTI): Government of India on Thursday dismissed the suggestion that 5,000 cadres of Naga militant group NSCN (I-M) would be inducted into Border Security Force (BSF). A Home Ministry spokesperson said there have been reports that interlocutor for Naga talks R.N. Ravi had assured NSCN (I-M) general secretary Thuingaleng Muivah that about 5,000 cadres of the militant group would be drafted into BSF as part of the rehabilitation process. “It is clarified that these reports are false and have no basis,” the spokesperson said. Ravi is at present holding peace parleys with NSCN (I-M), led by Muivah. In August last year, the NSCN (I-M) signed a framework agreement with the government which Prime Minister Narendra Modi described as a “historic” step to usher in peace in the state. The pact was signed by Muivah and Ravi in the presence of the Prime Minister, Home Minister Rajnath Singh and National Security Adviser Ajit Doval at Modi’s residence here. The signing of the agreement came after over 80 rounds of negotiations that spanned 18 years with first breakthrough in 1997 when the cease-fire agreement was sealed.
ACAUT pickets fuel outlets, F&CS office Staff Reporter
DIMAPUR, JUL 14 (NPN): Following delay in arresting the alleged “kingpins” in the recently exposed fuel adulteration racket, Against Corruption and Unabated Taxation (ACAUT) has intensified its protest by picketing nine fuel outlets in Dimapur, Kohima and Wokah and also the Food & Civil Supplies (F&CS) department, Dimapur here on Thursday. Hundreds of volunteers including members of ACAUT held placards which read, “This station sells adulterated fuel,” “CM & State Govt, stop robbing people,” “Fill at your own risk,” “Srikanth, Nawal, Dinanath, Umesh, Ajay; de-facto rulers of Nagaland,” adorned the premises of the selected fuel outlets. A huge banner, “Food and Civil Supplies Department is now Fooling Consumers Service Department” was put up inside the F&CS office complex and similar banners were also seen in strategic locations around Dimapur. Later, the volunteers, including members of ACAUT, Concerned Citizens of Nagaland (CCN), Eastern Naga Peoples’ Organisation (ENPO) Dimapur Unit, senior citizens, NGOs, and supporters, congregated at the F&CS office complex where a “protest programme” was held while simultaneous picketing took place in Pherima, 7th Mile: Essar, 2 ½ Mile: NRL, Essar, near West Police Station, Es-

sar, Duncan Bosti. Various speakers addressed the gathering and echoed the same sentiment- desire for corruption free Nagaland. One of the speaker maintained the protest was “not violent nor aggressive neither does it target a particular department, but rather a spiritual warfare.” He added that ACAUT would go and pray in every department in days to come. Cautioning the government not to take the protest lightly, one of the speakers cautioned that “the protest will continue till the Government listens.” Meanwhile, ACAUT stated the picketing was mainly against the alleged kingpins who were reportedly proxy owners r unning business through Power of Attorney. ACAUT maintained the “protest programme” at F&CS was a “prayer appeal” to the conscience of the department. Reacting to the statement of F&CS, that a detailed inquiry had been initiated, ACAUT
dismissed the statement saying it had no faith in the internal inquiry nor will it accept the verdict. “We want the Police to investigate the racket as SIT will whitewash the issue and State Vigilance Commission (SVC) should also take cognizance of the case,” ACAUT stated. Further, ACAUT warned of tougher actions on the failure of the government to heed their demands.
Kma citizens picket
Notwithstanding the rain, concerned citizens of Kohima held a peaceful picketing of fuel outlets under the banner of ACAUT at K. Enterprise, Imphal road Thursday, while business of the fuel outlet ran smoothly. While extending support to ACAUT, the citizens voiced out that public can no more tolerate fuel adulteration and hoped that the picketing would create awareness.

Before passing the ‘St. Joseph Catholic University (Nagaland) Bill 2016’ in the assembly, Deo stated that establishing such university in Nagaland should be encouraged, adding that Nagaland has only three universities including two private universities.
Pointing out that many Naga students were spending huge amount studying outside the state, the parliamentary secretary said more universities were required to be established in other major towns of Nagaland to facilitate proper education to “our children.” Deo said the building construction of university, located at Ikishe village Dimapur, would be completed this year and the academic session would begin by next year. Taking part in the discussion, the state chief minister, T.R. Zeliang, said the university was private and the success and failure purely depended on them. He also said that any university coming up in the state should be welcomed and it would not affect the state exchequer. Minister of social security and welfare and parliamentary affairs, Kiyanilie Peseyie, moved the bill and passed the Nagaland salaries, allowances and other facilities of the chief minister, other ministers, speaker, leaders of opposition, deputy speaker, (Cont’d on p-7)

I have painstakingly explained the contents, bit by bit, to, by and large, every stakeholder. I am grateful to the Hon’ble Speaker, Nagaland Assembly and Hon’ble Chief Minister, Nagaland for acceding to my request for arranging a briefing of the legislators on the contents of the Framework Agreement soon after it was signed. I am also grateful to all the Nagaland legislators for actively participating in an about four hours long briefing session on August 27, 2015 at the Legislature’s Complex. I explained, at length, the contents of the Framework Agreement and clarified specific queries and doubts of the Legislators. The briefing session concluded only after there was no more questions from the Legislators. I also, separately, met several tribal hohos, tribal leaders and civil society entities and some Naga armed groups and explained them the contents of the Framework Agreement. I also collectively invited all the Naga Tribal Hohos and briefed them in an over four hours long session on December 8, 2015 at Kohima. There were over 70 delegates from various Naga tribes.

However, he said local contractors were not qualified for 10 kms and therefore the Centre has allowed two companies. He said Nagas should change the attitude and let any ‘anyone’ to work “if we want good roads.” On the alleged backdoor appointment scams, the CM said the cabinet on June 6 has made its decision very clear that there should be no more contract appointment except requisitioned by NPSC. He said those posts that were not requisitioned should be done by the department “select committee” but with the approval of the government. He said P&AR department would issue the notification soon. He said all those appointed prior to June 6, 2016 have to follow the system that on completion of three years, they could be regularized through NPSC while the posts against retirement, the departments should requisition the posts to NPSC ahead of time.

Doungel said two cases have been registered with Diphupar police station and west police station Dimapur in connection with the racket. He informed that samples have been collected, incrementing materials seized and fuel samples sent for analysis. However, DGP said test result would take some time. On picketing of fuel outlets by ACAUT, Doungel opined “one has to concede that they have an issue and since it has not led to any wrongful restrain or denial of entry for other people, we are not in a position to make out any case”. He, however, said it showed the issue has come to “public domain and people are also interested, that is why SIT has been upgraded”. DGP expressed hope that SIT would be able to deal with the larger issue and also address the issue of fuel adulteration not just in Dimapur but all over the state.

Gov asks Tuki to prove majority by July 16; CM seeks more time
ITANAGAR/GUWAHATI, JUL 14 (IANS): Arunachal Pradesh Governor Tathagata Roy on Thursday reinstated Nabam Tuki as Chief Minister and asked him to prove his majority on the floor of the assembly by July 16, an official said. “In obedience of the Supreme Court judgement of July 13, the Governor has informed Nabam Tuki that he stands reinstated as the Chief Minister of the state on and with effect from that date,” Raj Bhavan Spokesperson Atum Potom said in Itanagar. Tuki has also been asked to call the state assembly session immediately and to prove his majority in the house no later than July 16. Talking to reporters after attending office, Tuki said he would request the acting Governor Tathagata Roy to defer the proposed floor test as it is “not possible” within a short span of time. Speaker Nabam Rebia,
Govt to break deadlock over Subansiri dam NEW DELHI, JUL 14 (AGENCIES): In a fresh attempt to break the deadlock over the 2,000 MW Subansiri (Lower) Hydroelectric Project, Union Power and Coal Minister Piyush Goyal is going to convene a meeting of the Chief Ministers of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, reports Assam Tribune. Union Power Minister said that he wants the scenario to be a win-win situation for both Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. One positive aspect, he said, was that Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal is very keen to sort out the issue. “I am going to convene a meeting shortly with the Chief Ministers of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh,” he said. Construction work of the ambitious power project on Subansiri river at Gerukamukh along the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border has been stalled since December 2011 following protests by agitating groups like Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti, All Assam Students Union and Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuva Chatra Parishad. The minister said that he is not against the people who are opposing the project because their grievances are genuine. “When I became the minister, I went through the file and found that many issues were genuine like impact on agriculture, irrigation, flood control and downstream impact,” he said. Replying to questions, the minister further said that an estimated Rs 6,000 crore has already been invested in the project. It has now been five-six years since the work has been stalled, he remarked, adding that interest rates and other costs are piling up. “The project cost has gone up by two and a half times,” he added. Goyal, however, admitted that the Centre’s response to the issue was bit delayed. “The Centre had appointed a joint expert group that made certain recommendations on the power project, but by then Assam had gone into election mode. But now, the Government of Assam is keen to sort out the problem,” he said.
Nabam Tuki
who too attended office today, said the assembly needs at least 10 to 15 days to summon a session. “I have received the governor’s order asking the state government to go for floor test on July 16 which is practically impossible keeping in mind the uneven topography and inclement weather besides the communication bottlenecks in
the state,” he told reporters. The Speaker also appealed to all the Congress members to strengthen Tuki’s hands for overall development of the state. In order to ensure that the proceedings of the assembly may take place peacefully and otherwise appropriately, Roy, who is the acting Governor during the absence of Governor J.P. Rajkhowa, desired that proceedings be videographed throughout and the majority proved by division and not by voice vote, Potom said, adding that a note to this effect has also been sent to the assembly secretary. “The Governor emphasised that the conduct of the proceedings, including the videography, in the House shall strictly follow the principles laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in its order dated May 6, 2016 in the matter pertaining to the matter of imposition of President’s Rule in the State of Uttarakhand
(SLP C 11567/2016) Union of India Vs Harish Chandra Singh Rawat,” he said. Meanwhile, Kalikho Pul, who unseated Tuki in February this year, claimed that he is the Chief Minister of the state as he has got the numbers to prove majority in the house. “Even if the apex court has given a verdict, one needs to prove the majority in the floor of the house. As of now I have the support of 43 legislators (including he himself). The 43 includes 30 MLAs of the Peoples Party of Arunachal (PPA), 11 BJP legislators and two Independents. These 43 legislators are with me and we are united,” Pul said while addressing a press conference in Guwahati on Thursday. He said that Tuki has support of 15 Congress legislators only as of now. Tuki however claimed to have the support of the majority of the legislators and said that he would be able to prove his majority.

Tuliram’s memo to Shah on statehood
Correspondent
DIPHU, JUL 14: Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC) chief executive Member (CEM) Tuliram Ronghang has reiterated his demand for creation of separate state comprising two hill districts of Assam, Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao under Article 2 of the Constitution of India. Ronghang along with several EMs of the council called on BJP national president Amit Shah and submitted a memorandum on this demand in Guwahati on Wednesday night. Justifying his demand, Ronghang said the Centre is yet to give a positive response to the demand of the indigenous Karbi tribe on separate statehood. He argued that with limited political powers, it is it not possible for the autonomous council to develop culture, language and tradition of Karbi people. Moreover the problems of border, unemployment, insurgency, law and order needed to be addressed immediately, he said in the memorandum.

Cong names Sheila Dikshit as CM candidate for UP polls NEW DELHI, JUL 14 (PTI): Ending speculation, Sheila Dikshit was Thursday named by Congress as its chief ministerial candidate for next year’s Assembly polls in politically crucial Uttar Pradesh, citing her “experience and good work” in heading Delhi Government for 15 years. Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, who is in charge of party affairs in Uttar Pradesh, said Dikshit was chosen as party’s face for the polls considering her strong credentials as Chief Minister of Delhi for three consecutive terms. Election strategist Prashant Kishor had recommended that Dikshit should play a major role in the party’s poll campaign in the state projecting her as a prominent Brahmin face and could help Congress regain support of the electorally sizeable community. Born in a Punjabi Khatri family, Dikshit, 78, is the daughter-in-law of late Congress veteran from UP Uma Shankar Dikshit, a tall Brahmin leader who had served as a Union minister and governor for a long time. Her 15-year tenure in Delhi as CM ended with the emergence of AAP in 2013 polls in which Congress lost power. Announcement of Dikshit’s name as CM nominee came days after the party appointed actor-turned-politician Raj Babbar the chief of the Congress in UP. “Her experience and good work were considered as her big credentials by the party,” Azad told a joint media briefing with party leader Janardan Dwivedi. The party also announced coordination and campaign committees for Uttar Pradesh which will be headed by Sanjay Singh and Pramod Tiwari respectively.
Sheila Dikshit
On her part, Dikshit thanked the party leadership for entrusting her with such a “big responsibility”, adding she would like to have Priyanka Gandhi campaign with her across the state. “She (Priyanka) is a very popular leader. My plea would be that she campaign across the state,” Dikshit said. Acknowledging that it will be “major challenge” for her in UP, Dikshit said Congress will go to the polls with confidence and that the party will take on BJP, ruling Samajwadi Party and BSP equally. Announcement of Dikshit’s nomination came on a day the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) of Delhi sent a notice to her asking her to join the investigation in connection with the alleged Rs 400-crore water tanker scam. Dikshit called the allegation “politically motivated”. Asked why Dikshit who is facing corruption charges against her has been projected, Azad said corruption charges are there against chief ministers of Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, and many BJP ministers in Maharashtra. “If these three chief ministers are ready to resign, then we are ready to take back her name,” he said, adding BJP is not taking any action on the allegations against its chief
ministers. “First let us decide on these chief ministers,” he said. The Congress feels making Dikshit, a Brahmin, the face of campaign in Uttar Pradesh will help the party win back support of the community. The Brahmin community, a traditional vote bank of Congress, had shifted allegiance to BJP in the aftermath of the Mandir-Mandal politics. A large chunk of Brahmin votes had also gone to Mayawati’s BSP in the past when she gave tickets to many candidates belonging to the community. The community’s support determines the poll outcome in several seats in central and eastern UP. Dwivedi said Congress president Sonia Gandhi has also appointed former Union minister R P N Singh as the senior vice president of Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee, along with the four senior vice presidents announced two days ago. He said Zafar Ali Naqvi has been made the convener of the Campaign Committee to be headed by Sanjay Singh, and it will have four vice chairmen Jitin Prasad, Abdul Mannan Ansari, Gayadin Anuragi and Chaudhary Bijender Singh. The Coordination Committee headed by Rajya Sabha member Pramod Tiwari will have senior Congress leaders Mohsina Kidwai, Salman Khurshid, Shriprakash Jayaswal, Rajiv Shukla, Rita Bahuguna, Salim Sherwani, Pradeep Jain Aditya, P L Punia, Nirmal Khatri and Pradeep Mathur as its members. Asked if Dikshit would contest assembly polls in UP, Azad said it is not necessary that a chief ministerial face has to contest as he also became a chief minister without contesting and so are many others who became chief ministers without contesting polls.

No stay on ordinance allowing states to conduct MBBS tests
NEW DELHI, JUL 14 (PTI): Supreme Court Thursday said the validity of the Centre’s ordinance allowing states to conduct separate entrance tests for admission to MBBS and BDS courses for the 2016-17 academic year was “in doubt”, but rejected a plea seeking a stay on it saying half the states have already conducted their tests. “It is disturbing and not proper for the government to bring an ordinance allowing states to hold their own tests despite our orders... Prima facie, we find that the validity of the ordinance is in doubt,” a bench comprising Justices A R Dave, A K Goel and Shiv Kirti Singh said. It also dismissed the plea for centralised counselling of successful candidates of various entrance tests, saying “50 per cent states have conducted their tests.” The apex court was hearing pleas filed by Anand Rai, who claims to be a whistle blower in the Vyapam scam, and others challenging the ordinance saying the Centre was not competent to nullify the judicial order by promulgating the ordinance. Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi had earlier told the court that the ordinance, which
keeps state boards outside the purview of single medical entrance test NEET, is only for this academic year and the government was well within its right to come up with it. Rai in his plea had sought quashing of the ordinance, which got Presidential assent on May 24, and sought a stay on its operation as an interim relief. The apex court had on May 9 rejected the pleas of state governments and minority institutions to allow them to hold separate entrance exams for MBBS and BDS courses for 2016-17, saying only National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) provides for conducting test for admission to these courses. The top court had approved the schedule put before it by the Centre, CBSE and Medical Medical Council of India (MCI) for treating All India Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT) fixed for May one as NEET-1. It had said that those who have not applied for AIPMT will be given opportunity to appear in NEET-II on July 24 and the combined result would be declared on August 17, so that the admission process is completed by September 30.
Kejriwal’s ex-PS, six others sent to jail custody till July 27 NEW DELHI, JUL 14 (PTI): Delhi Chief Minister’s former Principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar and six others, arrested in an alleged corruption case, were Thursday sent to judicial custody till July 27 by a special court after CBI submitted that they were not required for further investigation. Kumar also moved a bail application before court, saying he is no more required for the investigation. The court sought reply from probe agency on his plea and fixed it for hearing on July 21. Special CBI Judge Arvind Kumar sent Kumar, a 1989 batch IAS officer of UT cadre, former Deputy Secretary in Kejriwal’s office Tarun Sharma, Kumar’s close aide Ashok Kumar and owners of a private firm, Sandeep Kumar and Dinesh Kumar Gupta, to the jail after they were produced from CBI custody. The court also sent R S Kaushik and his predecessor G K Nanda, present and the former Managing Directors of a PSU respectively, to judicial custody till July 27.

Court orders FIR against Akhlaq’s family GREATER NOIDA, JUL 14 (PTI): In a new twist in the Dadri Akhlaq murder case, a court Thursday ordered registration of a case against his family for alleged cow slaughter. “Judicial Magistrate Vijay Kumar acting on application moved under 156(3) CrPC for registration of a case, has ordered investigation and lodging of an FIR of cow slaughter against Akhlaq’s family,” said DSR Tripathi, Senior Prosecution Officer. Residents of Bishada village in Dadri had met the Gautam Budh Nagar SSP on June 5 to press their demand for registration of an FIR against Mohammad Akhlaq’s family for alleged cow slaughter, following which he had ordered a probe into the charge. SSP Dharmendra Yadav had said a case will be registered against the family only if the charge that the meat found in Akhlaq’s home was beef was found to be true. Akhlaq was killed by a mob on September 29 last year on the suspicion that his family stored and consumed beef at their home. A foresic lab is reported to have said that the meat found in Akhlaq’s home was beef. “On October 8, 2015, we had sent the copy of the complaint to SSP, DIG and other senior officials requesting that an FIR be lodged for cow slaughter against Akhlaq’s family. Then we had moved an application before the judicial magistrate’s court under CrPC 156(3) for issuing directions to police to lodge the FIR,” said advocate B R Sharma. Sanjay Rana, the father of one of the accused, said, “The court has rightly ordered lodging of the FIR. The UP government was taking onesided action. Now the court order has provided justice to other side too.”
Promotion row: SC raps Army for ‘misinterpretation’ of order NEW DELHI, JUL 14 (PTI): Supreme Court Thursday found fault with the execution of its verdict by the Army in which it had asked the Centre to create 141 additional vacancies in the rank of Colonel to promote officers of ‘Combat Support’ streams who had joined the force between 1992 to 1997. Observing that the Centre had “misinterpreted” its verdict, a bench comprising Chief Justice T S Thakur and A M Khanwilkar said, “the spirit of judgement cannot be defeated ...You (Centre)
tell us who are the persons responsible for misinterpreting the judgement. We will hold them guilty.” The court, on February 15, this year had agreed to the plea of officers of ‘Combat Support’ corps like Engineering, signal and Medical that their counterparts in Infantry and Artillery were getting undue favour in promotions and asked the Centre to create 141 additional posts to be filled up by officers of support corps who had joined the force between 1992 and 1997.

Pyrrhic victory for Tuki
I
n a historic judgement, a five-member bench of Supreme Court on July 13,2016 restored status-quo in Arunachal Pradesh as of December 15, 2015 which effectively ensured restoration of the Nabam Tuki government in the state. In the process, not only did Supreme Court render another big legal blow to the BJP but brought the actions of Governor Jyoti Prasad Rajkhowa under close scrutiny when his advancing of the assembly session of the Assembly was deemed as constitutionally invalid besides putting down strict guidelines of when and how it is acceptable for the governor to intervene in the democratic process. In a unanimous verdict, a five-judge constitution bench headed by Justice J S Khehar held that when the Chief Minister and his council of Ministers have majority in the House, power vested with the Governor under Article 174 of the Constitution to summon, prorogue and dissolve the House must be exercised in consonance with their aid and advice and this was binding. In two successive states, the BJP led government at the centre had tried to stage a palace coup with a compliant governor in tow. Judicial activism may have saved the day for now, but the motives are very clear that BJP appears to be in haste to implement through any means, its vow of Congress-mukt Bharat (Congress-free India). In the Uttarakhand crisis , the Supreme Court had earlier on May 11 set aside the Centre’s imposition of President’s Rule which was recommended by the governor to facilitate a backdoor entry of BJP and nine disqualified Congress rebels headed by previous Congress chief minister Vijay Bahuguna. On March 27, the Congress government was defeated when nine rebels voted against it on March 27. The Supreme Court upheld the disqualification of the nine Congress rebels and in the court monitored trial test, Harish Rawat won by 33 votes from Congress, BSP and others, as against 28 by the BJP. The Supreme Court strongly censured Rajkhowa’s role in acting in gross violation of the constitution to facilitate installation of Kalikho Pul under highly questionable circumstances. It is due to the temptations of loaves and fishes of office, Kalikho Pul has won over 30 Congress MLAs. The BJP had more sense to turn down pleas for merger of the rebel group as it wanted to wait for the court ruling on the case. Kalikho Pul and his legislators merged with the People’s Party of Arunchal(PPA) pending formal entry to the BJP at a later time. The rebel Congress now PPA legislators have 30 as against 15 with Nabam Tuki. The Supreme Court could have saved the confusion if it had agreed to stay the swearing-in of Kalikho Pul government pending its final judgement on the case. Be that as it may, the issue is now less about what happens to Pul or Tuki but more on the imperative need for Governor Rajkhowa to tender his resignation after being censured by the Court. It is a massive face-loss for the Modi government which was still reeling from setback in the Uttarakhand case,where President’s rule was revoked and Harish Rawat government managed to scrape through despite internal rebellion. The fact of the matter is not only does it tarnish BJP’s claim as the party with a difference, it punctures bold claims of PM Modi of preaching cooperative federalism.
DailyDevotion Suffering Afflictions and Going the Second Mile I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. —Matthew 5:39 This verse reveals the humiliation of being a Christian. In the natural realm, if a person does not hit back, it is because he is a coward. But in the spiritual realm, it is the very evidence of the Son of God in him if he does not hit back. When you are insulted, you must not only not resent it, but you must make it an opportunity to exhibit the Son of God in your life. And you cannot imitate the nature of Jesus— it is either in you or it is not. A personal insult becomes an opportunity for a saint to reveal the incredible sweetness of the Lord Jesus. The teaching of the Sermon on the Mount is not, “Do your duty,” but is, in effect, “Do what is not your duty.” It is not your duty to go the second mile, or to turn the other cheek, but Jesus said that if we are His disciples, we will always do these things. We will not say, “Oh well, I just can’t do any more, and I’ve been so misrepresented and misunderstood.” Every time I insist on having my own rights, I hurt the Son of God, while in fact I can prevent Jesus from being hurt if I will take the blow myself. That is the real meaning of filling “up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ…” (Colossians 1:24). A disciple realizes that it is his Lord’s honor that is at stake in his life, not his own honor. Never look for righteousness in the other person, but never cease to be righteous yourself. We are always looking for justice, yet the essence of the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount is— Never look for justice, but never cease to give it.

‘One government: one Women Arrogance VS Men Ego in Naga Society tax’, which government? G
T
he ‘ACAUT’ has brought considerable good Sense to Nagaland in the face of tremendous difficulties from the government systems and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (now Nagalim), the civil citizens of the state whole heartedly support the ACAUT -a non-profit organization- and thanks even to the ethnic none-Naga citizens of Nagaland for the help they give to ACAUT albeit indirect for the common good of all of us. The ACAUT’s role model is relevant to the Northeast. In comparison with the ACAUT, it is a sad story that the honorable members of the august house of the legislative body of Nagaland, with all the state powers and with all the legalities decisions the state has and with the powerful machine of the state under its control, do very precious little for quality governance of the state. What is the quality of life the leaders are set for Nagaland? Person to persona: the ministers, all the parliamentary secretaries and most bureaucrats, are all nice persons at face value, only a little less than angels, but collectively they constitute the government looting machine interested only in looting the public. The leaders show no leadership character, they show no character, only low common character, selfishness, no decency, no vision, appallingly no concern for the have-nots poor. It is unfathomable why they enter the contest for leadership of the people? People distrusts them but are helpless to remove them. Every citizen who have voted for the leaders have every right to rebuke them, from the chief minister to the last MLA if they have ears to hear! What is the corrective Way? It is very simple. If the chief ministers walk straight, then all her children will walk straight! Instead, children are hired to teach small children to walk like her! May such not develop into a Naga culture? The recent exposures by the ACAUT of the despicable siphoning off of the public fund for road construction in the Dimapur, the adulteration of petroleum and diesel with kerosene to siphon off millions of rupees to the personal pockets of the minister-in-charge and of the bureaucrats under him, has shown our elected representatives and the bureaucrats have no sense of honor; very thick skinned, and as Jeremiah the prophet has said: “they do not know how to blush” showing neither personal
W
nor collective shame. Why do the people pay tax to the government of Nagaland? The people pay tax to the state government because it is the people that have elected them: nothing more nothing less. And they have the freewill mandate of the people! But in the Naga political scene on the other side of the coin: the separate flag, separate passport, integration of all Naga areas in the Northeast states into a single territorial unit and sovereignty, according to the home ministry, is simply “Not True”. On 29 February (leap year) 2012 in a big consultative public meeting at Agri-Expo Ground convened by the FNR; the IM had openly stated integration and sovereignty are not possible, yet today even after 3rd August 2016 Indo-IM Accord, the IM again says ‘integration and sovereignty’ are still in the Talk. How can such contradictory statements come from a leader of the stature of Muivah, unimaginable? and, ‘If the sovereignty question is discarded, then why has there been so much violence, sufferings, bloodshed and killings of Nagas by Nagas’ ! And yet the 60 honorable MLAs of Nagaland assembly supports the Indo-NSCN (IM) Accord without knowing the terms & conditions of the accord in advance and promised resignation lock-stock & barrel for a future government of National Socialist Council of Nagalim?! The state government has no relevance to poke their short nose into the political negotiation between India and the NSCN (IM). It, the state government already had negotiated the state of Nagaland with the Government of Nehru and have sworn at least 2 times in their present position to be under the Constitution of India, whereas Muivah still claims the NSCN is outside the purview of the Indian Constitution. Though the much vaunted ‘unique history of Naga sovereignty’ now appears to be have been reduced to an unfathomable secret depth of ‘Shared Sovereignty’ -a normal system of governance common to all the States of Indian Union! This being the ‘Golmal’ in the affairs of all the governments in Nagaland, tax can be paid only to the legally constituted state authorities of Nagaland and to no others. The ball is in the court of the payers. Thepfulhouvi Solo.
ood morning ladies! We celebrate your International Day every year in March with gusto. It is time to assist the net result of such celebrations. On this day, many chivalrous Don Quixotes’ are thrown out with loud promises – never to sheath their swords till the last damsel in distress is restored to her rightful place with honour. These heroes are not visible the next day. This is called male chauvinism. The display of valor by these gender warriors should not be trusted fully. Better view their patriotism with limitations. They openly glorify you, but their inner hearts are singing, “Halleluiah, dispatch all females to Heaven, Glory to God in the Highest, And on earth peace.” They are spiritual by day but spirited by night. They pray by day and bray by night. In reality this so called martial race belongs to the partial race. A lot is discussed on rights of women. A lot is resolved on how men should respect women better and to realize that women are as talented and capable as men and very often even more so. Men have to respect women’s wishes – dresses they wear, outings, kitchen holiday, etc. Men should never resort to violence or intimidation against women. Men have to maintain boundaries in the work places and make sure of their comfort at home. However, the pampered Naga male ego is a tough nut to crack. Yes, for all the talk of women being denied their rightful place in society, ladies need to do some self reflection too. Let me attempt the unthinkable. Women need to correct the constant desire to judge other women. Women are by nature hard on themselves. They are harder on each other. An over-weight elderly woman struggle to cross the crowded street in a rush hour. Pedestrains on the street are mostly women. They are watching her struggle with disgust. “This fatso, how terrible,” is the only support from these women around. A working mother misses her Sunday church service due to an office dateline. Others think, “what a sloppy mother she is.” A young woman in a short skirt makes other women go slut in their heads. A pretty young woman makes other women wonder what she has been upto to get that promotion in her job. Women are ready to judge other women right from the ill fated
Aren’t We All Equally Responsible?
e cannot blame our 60 honorable MLAs for the 15 minutes death Silence Session alone. Why? When the state is facing innumerable issues in every sphere, the Law making body spending only 15 to 30 minutes to discuss the welfare of the people is ridiculous. An expensive car (NLA) without the braking system (Opposition) has become dodgy. They keep the car functional by starting the engine for 10 - 15 minutes once in every 6 months but they cannot go beyond that for obvious reasons. The usual platform sermons on peace and settlement are not able to quench the thirst or satisfy the hunger of the common Nagas. We say that we have no fund for development and therefore, Delhi is responsible. But when you go to Delhi with a bouquet and the infamous Naga Waistcoat - you don’t dare to utter a word about the pathetic condition of the State and instead, take a SELFIE with the concerned Ministers and post it in the local media! In the street, you cannot utter a word because of fear of NPGs and in the NLA Assembly session, you
do not dare to raise any issue for fear of “Show Cause Notice”. The public face multiple taxations and extortions in the street and in the government setup, we face only corruption, deduction and commission. With the election fever pitching up, I wonder what the Election manifesto of the political parties will be. Will it be the usual Honorable Naga Peace Settlement, Development, etc.? The usual boring issues of defection, resignation, declaration of support, etc., will fill the media again. Unfortunately, the same frustrated Nagas will eat their own vomit when the election comes. And that is why I say that we, the general public, are to be equally blamed. Today, the common expressions amongst the Naga intellectuals are ‘What is the point - better keep quiet’, ‘Wait for the right time’, etc. Like the story of the frog in the cauldron, we are all getting accustomed to tolerating the ever increasing temperature of the corrupt system. We may think that the safest way for us is to remain complacent in our comfort zone. Is this the better
option? The suffering and frustrations of the common Nagas have reached the boiling point and are in danger of rupturing anytime. Posterity will judge the stand that we take today - for better or for worse. Let us remember the famous quote of Napoleon - “The world suffers a lot. Not because of the violence of bad people. But because of the silence of good people”. Why can’t we bring a change before it is too late? Our silence is not bringing any positive change in our society. To start with, why can’t we come together and set up a few honest and courageous candidates with impeccable integrity? Let us bypass the usual electioneering system of money power, bogus voters, vote buying, etc. and elect a few lawmakers (MLAs) who are even willing to sit in the opposition bench and be the voice of conscience for the common Nagas. It is possible because we, the Nagas, have enough good people to make an impact; after all it is up to us to decide our own fate. Dr. Vetsutsoyi Swuro, Kohima.
coiffure to bluntly cooked food. Can a woman let another woman breathe? After all, all the women are not roses, some are regarded by others as thorns. A common female behavior is the easy adaptation to feed male ego. Praising of male vain glory is pure sycophancy and acceptance of raw deal in any assignment is reason enough of your weak-kneed personality. What is the point of collectively harping on equality when as individual you are happy to lapse into flattery. Do not turn the other cheek, you may end up losing both. This biblical novelty is old fashion now. After all, men would like to keep a girlfriend, though married. This is the modern art of the so called smart living. In terms of finance too a good number of women generously give away their lawful earnings to son, daughter, husband, brother, etc. Sorry if it sounds harsh, but women are emotional fools and need to be told so. So think seriously. You have your life too. It is only when a woman asserts herself she is taken seriously. The way the Naga society is structured, women are not encouraged to be as ambitious as men. This is wrong. Women should become more ambitious and dream big. For that matter all young people both men and women should have fire in their belly. They should aspire to do well in life. Success only will finally humble men to respect women. Another intriguing aspect of our women is the uncertainty of becoming a professional and the mild confusion over the thought of marriage and children. The first is easier said than done. The second is easier done than said. One need to work very hard to achieve a rewarding life as a professional, but to become a vibrant mother of a family one just need the goodwill of a loving husband. Both of these will contribute towards upward mobility. But some believe in temporary delay in marriage. Truly you are testing the water. But you are growing older too. Your indecisiveness on these two fronts will give you headache. One headache is bad enough but two can be unbearable. Presenting many facets of Naga women in their amazing diversities have not been easy. They have played many crucial roles towards nation building. Yet they are still considered not suitable to hold traditional and customary posts in
Petrol adulteration scam in Nagaland For the majority of honest and hard working citizen of Nagaland ACAUT came as a ray of hope against all sorts of corruption in socio-economic and political sphere of Nagas. It is of course, a matter of grave concern that our Naga society in general, has become immune and indifferent to the harm caused by gangs of criminal and thugs, who are depriving the citizen of this state an honest and progressive socioeconomic and political system. Sir, we belong to this same section of Naga society who are exasperated by the apathetic, law and order machinery in our state and as the last resort, decided to put our foot down and take our democratic fight against corruption at all levels. Sir, recently ACAUT exposed a multi crore petrol adulteration scam involving owners of many petro pumps and there is a strong possibility that few government officials may have colluded with these people in robbing poor Nagas of subsidized kerosene, not to speak of the immense damage they have done to motor
Salary through bank account & communitisation: need for review (From previous issue...) If anyone is in doubt and wants to confirm what are happening in state govt offices, especially in the district offices, one has to spend some time gathering information and casually visit offices to see the ground realities. Even in Directorates or Secretariat, the instances of going to the bank for drawing salary, is a usual frequent excuse for absence. It is also not illogical to say that any bulk robbery of staff salary is neither unique nor does it happen only in Nagaland; but has incidences everywhere, although not desired. Under normal circumstances any such robbery may be due to connivance or carelessness and those responsible have to be reprimanded or punished. An exhaustive or lengthy write up very often tends to be unfriendly to readers. Hence to make it more readerfriendly; this is only an appraisal with the intention to apprise the readers, specially the policy makers, that any policy, good or bad, needs to be reviewed periodically, to see its credibility or otherwise. If an adopted policy is found to be good, it may be continued. But if found not satisfactory or if any loophole or inadequacy is detected, the system may either be discontinued or be streamlined by supplementing with additional rules/ guidelines or by removing the loopholes/
lapses. However it is no wonder that in Nagaland, any policy or system, once adopted, is hardly reviewed or amended or improved, whether that system is defective or needed to be updated. Hence it is thought worthwhile to also highlight to the readers that under the state govt. policy of Communitisation of Public Utilities, several schemes namely Schools, Health Centres, Water Supply, Power, Tourist Amenities etc have been communitised, a decade or so ago. The concept and purpose of communitisation, in principle, is ideal and has worked satisfactorily in few cases; but not for many especially the schools, and the policy needs to be reviewed or may even discontinue. The concept and purpose of policy makers have not been perceived by those at the grass root, who are implementing the programme. Hence many nasty things are happening internally in the communitised schools and one of the indicative consequences is the poor HSLC & HSSLC Results of govt schools, since the foundation affects the superstructure, which is to say that poor Primary and Elementary schooling produces poor HSLC & HSSLC Results. For without the needed weapons and basic training the battle at the HSLC, HSSLC or Higher Ups cannot be won.
the clan or tribe. Unfortunately, the patriarchal mindset seems yet to outgrow a false chivalry and misplaced concern for the “weaker sex”. Be patient, even the hard icy mountain will melt when the heat is charged upon continuously. Here Sir Isaac Newton’s First Law of Motion will come handy for all of us. Ice is melting slowly. Earlier, “man proposes, God disposes.” Now, when man proposes, woman disposes. Nowadays, it is not fashionable among young women to enter kitchen. But they are happy to attend the state-of-the-art cooking classes with pen, pad and mobile phone along with men. This food classes is changing the game. Men are more innovative and deliver delicious cuisine that will transport you to instant thrill by mesmerizing your palates, not just for the stomach but for your heart too. Further, men are into big league venture to make your dreams come true and to relish your insatiable desire in life with endless diversion – special ship-shape slimming exercises with spa and beauty salon attached. Huge shopping malls have come up stocked with designer garments, cosmetics,etc. Men are into fashion technology. There are now great opportunities for ladies to indulge themselves. Gender issue is highly sensitive in every society. One cannot rule out a possible male backlash when pressed hard. Each is on the brink of insanity and each offer view on life strikingly different and alarmingly funny. Men too face harassment. They are bread earners for the family. However, in extreme cases just desert them all. Soon boredom will strike them to temporary insanity curable only by the loving care of women. Don’t worry, today we have many assertive women with modern spine. They are vocal, passionate and react appropriately even to ordinary situation like hailing an auto rickshaw or in fish market while the men are insecure, pessimistic and withdrawn. The tug-of-war over 33% of seats for women to contest among themselves in Urban Local Bodies too is gaining ground – though the destination is a little distant away. Still let us bring up the family first on gender neutrality. We shall fight the good fight and shall run the race. Arise, awake we shall overcome someday. Mapu Jamir (I.A.S. Retd.).
Many unmindfully say that no parent wants to send their children to govt schools and they compete in sending their children to private schools, only. But let it not be forgotten that there are many underprivileged parents who have no option but to send their children to the fee-less govt schools, only. No doubt the govt teachers are the best qualified and best paid too. Hence they are expected to perform better. But the ugly face of govt schools is shaped by the non performance by many of the govt teachers and involvement of too many hands of Communitisation. Surely too many cooks are spoiling the Education Curry and hence without much ado to expose the nasty things happening in communitised schools, it is necessary to discontinue the policy and instead empower the Controlling teachers so they are made accountable. This is the only viable option to improve the performance of govt schools. Like minded readers may kindly supplement, on “Salary through Bank Accounts” and “Communitisation of Public Utilities”, for the cause of common good. Er. Mhondamo Ovung, Retired Chief Engineer, PHED, Nagaland. Wokha, Nagaland.
vehicle owners of Nagaland who unsuspectingly purchased adulterated petrol from the petrol pumps. Sir, it baffles us beyond our imagination that well armed law enforcing agencies failed to protect the interest of the people of Nagaland and it is ACAUT which has regularly exposed so many scams in recent times. Sir, through the powerful medium of your esteemed newspaper, we would like to appeal our government to build a strong case against all the culprits and set a deterrent against such incidences in future. We also believe that it is a good opportunity for the government to restore the confidence of the people who voted them to power. Lastly, we fully support ACAUT who are putting their lives at risk by exposing corruption that is often backed by powerful forces. We also appeal all the right thinking citizen to come out in support of the ACAUT for a better Nagaland. Kudos to ACAUT. M. Panger Imchen, Ward-23 president Secretary, Mhashevikho Zao.
Reader’s Post
Letter to commissioner and secretary School Education & SCERT
Sir,
With the most honour and humble request to your competent authority the Eastern Sumi Students’ Union would like to furnish a few lines for the kind consideration and necessary action. Many official representations were forwarded to the school department regarding the grievances which is being faced by the Aghunato Higher Secondary School for the students and school. Aghunato school was upgraded to higher secondary school in the year 2012 and which is the only school within the Eastern Sumi jurisdiction. The school has enormously contributed in the academic session from the last many years back but still many requisite development are lagging behind for the smooth functioning of students environment and school atmosphere. One question is that still the school has no education lecturer and for this the school authority and union has made many appeals to the school department but so far no appointment has been made. Besides the students are facing lots of untold misery due to non specialised subject lecturer and has failed to produce good academic result. Also the school needs good infrastructure and new building for hygienic study. Sir, the ESSU request to look into the matter seriously at the earliest possible for the students benefit and to fulfil the genuine requirement for the future generations. ESSU president, Vihepu Yeputhomi and general secretary, Holo Yeptho.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur friday, July 15, 2016
Nagaland Post Interview with R.N. Ravi, Interlocutor for Naga Talks NP: Time and again you have made it clear that any solution will be a Naga solution and not NSCN (I-M) or any Naga Political Groups’ solution and that talk will be inclusive. However, so far you have not invited any other Naga Political Group for talk, why is it so? Ravi: I am aware of the fact that an enduring Naga solution will have to be inclusive. I have publicly invited all the stakeholders including other Naga armed groups. Some of them have responded positively. The stakeholders should also be aware of their obligation and come forward. NP: It is said that government of India had agreed not engage any other NPGs while it is in talk with NSCN (I-M). Is this preventing you from inviting other NPGs? Ravi: Nothing can stop the government of India from reaching out to all the stakeholders. The NSCN (I-M) leaders took the bold initiative in positively responding to the government of India’s proposal for a peaceful solution of the Naga issue. The engagement has created a climate of peace and restored somewhat normal life in Naga areas. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is determined to resolve the Naga issue. I have been reaching to all the stakeholders. I would welcome those coming forward with sincerity and determination to resolve the issue. NP: Are the government of India and NSCN (I-M) willing to sign the final
agreement without including the other NPGs? Ravi: I would welcome all the stakeholders to be on board in our common enterprise and would continue making my efforts in this regard. However, if someone chooses to be aloof, we cannot wait indefinitely. NP: On the one hand, government of India is negotiating with one Naga Political Group to settle Naga problem terming the issue as “unique” while on the other hand, is has banned one as a “terrorist” group. Does this not betray a dichotomy in addressing the issue? Ravi: NSCN (K) unilaterally abrogated the ceasefire in March 2015. I made public appeal to them to come back to the peace fold. Various Naga tribal bodies and civil societies made fervent appeals to the NSCN (K) leadership. Government of India restrained itself to the NSCN (K)’s provocative manoeuvres till, in successive ambushes, they killed some 30 Indian soldiers and formed an alliance with other armed militant groups of North East. When the appeal of the Naga people and utmost restraint by the government of India met with a series of provocative violent acts and manoeuvres, the government responded according to the established law. NP: You have met many Naga leaders--legislators, tribal leaders, GBs, civil society organisations-most of them have publicly requested you to include other NPGs into the talk. How receptive are you and NSCN (I-M) about the ap-
peal made so far? Ravi: I have clarified, time and again, that the ongoing negotiations are to resolve the Naga issue and not about the NSCN (I-M). For the last over 19 years the NSCN (I-M) leaders have shown maturity and foresight and provided leadership of the Naga people in the dialogue with the government of India. NP: Recently, Governor of Nagaland and Assam PB Acharya stated that solution to Naga problem will arrive this year-2016. Is there any timeframe? When is it likely for the negotiating parties to sign the final agreement? Ravi: While we are working hard for an early solution, laying down a definite timeline would be unrealistic. NP: Is there any possibility of the talks getting affected by the election of a new chairman of NSCN (I-M) at this juncture when it is assumed that final agreement between the two parties is to be inked soon? Ravi: Sir Isak Chishi Swu was a great visionary and one of the tallest Naga leaders who always had in his mind the best interest of Naga people. He believed in peace and peaceful settlement of the issue. People will remember his great contribution to the Naga cause for which he had dedicated his entire life. Future generations will also remember his role in bringing out the Framework Agreement. His departure is a huge loss to all of us but we need to move on as we have the
responsibility to resolve it. Talks will continue. NP: Do you have a message for the Nagas? Ravi: Nagas are a proud people with a strong sense of identity. It was this spirit that illuminated the Naga political movement. During the initial years it created a set of idioms, expressions and rhetoric needed for the political mobilisation. H oweve r, ove r t h e last half a century this has changed profoundly; so have the Nagas. The pace of change is getting ever faster. From single digit literacy then, they are among the most literate people today —over 80% literacy. Brilliance of Naga scholarship is manifest in the universities around the world. Naga administrators are among the best in India. Unfortunately, the dynamic of the protracted vicious armed conflict has taken a heavy toll on their moral, intellectual and emotional orientations. Nagas today are far more apprehensive of each other than of the government of India. They are watchful and labored to be seen politically correct in their public utterance. They seem afraid of facing the truth. Many of them talk about Naga political solution without willingness to take responsibilities. For some others talking about the Talk is the cynical politics of survival. It is unfair to the Naga people. They must seize the finest ever historic opportunity today for ushering a bright, prosperous and proud future for the Naga people.

Nukhu on demand for govt law colleges
On the demand for government Law College in the state by law students, Deo Nukhu told Nagaland Post on Wednesday that it was not possible to take up all three law colleges (Kohima, Dimapur and Mokokchung) together. He, however, said the H&TE department wanted to take up Law College in a phased manner. Lamenting the “silence” of Nagaland University despite being asked to introduce law department, Nukhu, however, said the state government could expect to take up Law College next year if “resource position is good”. He also said that the matter on Law College would be taken up in the next “state higher education committee” meeting.

NP: In a recent interview with a national daily, NSCN (I-M) Ato Kilonser Th. Muivah has been quoted saying that the group has not given up on its demand on sovereignty. What is “sharing sovereign power” according to you or to both the negotiating parties? R av i : ‘ Pe o p l e a r e sovereign’ is the universal principle of democracy. It is also the core of Indian democracy. There is no question of Nagas giving up sovereignty. Nagas are not colonized people. Sovereign power is an abstract noun. In reality it is a spectrum of powers. Sharing sovereign power means sharing the spectrum of powers between the government of India and the Nagas. NP: NSCN (I-M) Ato Kilonser was also quoted on separate Naga flag and passport for Nagas saying that it was not just a “demand” but a right as the “Nagas were never under Indian rule.” What do you have to say on this? Ravi: I have seen media report about NSCN (I-M)’s position on flag and passport. These are issues of sentiments. The government of India respects the sentiments; however, these can only be addressed within the realm of the possible. NP: Can you please shed some light on Pan Naga Hoho--its functions, limitations and whether it will eventually govern over the Nagas or not? Ravi: A Pan Naga entity as a concept of a common platform for the Nagas to strengthen their identity is under discussion. However, an interpretation of this entity as a supergovernment is inconsistent with government of India’s position. We are trying to reach a convergence. NP: Nagas of Nagaland and their land and resources are protected under Article 371 A of the Indian Constitution. However, the same does not cover Nagas of Manipur, Arunachal and Assam. Will Article 371A now cover Nagas living in these areas? Ravi: Article 371A of the Constitution of India is specific to Nagaland. We are trying to evolve a system for the Nagas outside Nagaland to be self-governing in their
everyday affairs. NP: If Naga inhabited areas in Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam are created into Autonomous District Councils, how are they going to function? Will it be under their respective state governments or Pan Naga Hoho or will it function independently? Ravi: Naga areas outside Nagaland should have genuine democratic self-governance. Their architecture is to be worked out. Nothing should be done to negate the democratic principle of peoples’ empowerment. It would be pre-mature to talk about the details at this stage. NP: In our first interview in 2015, you have ruled out existence of any private militia but there have been speculations that Indian government and Nagas would have a mechanism on “shared defense”. Is there some truth in it? Ravi: The question of any non-state militia after the final agreement does not arise. The territorial defence is the primary responsibility of the government of India; however, Nagas have an important role in it. Settlement of armed cadres will be done on the basis of a mutually agreed formula. NP: A report is being largely circulated stating that you have promised 5000 BSF jobs to rehabilitate NSCN (I-M) cadres. What do you have to say on this? Ravi: Report is totally false, mischievous and malicious. It is planted by some vested interest through some ill informed and irresponsible person.

Citing the recent disclosure in the Panama Papers Investigation, the panel was of the opinion that unless there is the deterrent provision, it would be difficult to get back the stashed money outside the country. Stating that in some of the Panama cases it is contended by the assessees that they have obtained the permission from RBI before depositing the amount in foreign countries, SIT said such information is not given by the assessees to the Income Tax authority. “Hence, it is suggested that before investing any amount or purchasing any property outside the country, the assessee must inform the concerned jurisdictional Commissioner of Income Tax Department of the State. “It should be made clear that even if the permission of RBI is not required for investing or purchasing the assets outside the country, the assessee must inform the concerned jurisdictional Commissioner of Income Tax Department of the State, before investing or purchasing the assets outside the country,� it said.

cash recoveries in numerous enforcement actions by law enforcement agencies from time to time, the cash transaction limit can only succeed if there is a limitation on cash holding. “SIT has suggested an upper limit of Rs 15 lakh on cash holding,� the statement said. In case any person or industry required holding more cash, it may obtain necessary permission from the Commissioner of Income Tax of the area, the panel opined. SIT suggested amending the Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) and Imposition of Tax Act, 2015, by incorporating the provision that “undisclosed foreign income and assets would vest in the Union of India�. “Once it is held that under the law, property vests in Union of India, the person who is holding the said property outside the country shall have to prove that it was acquired legally and/or held after obtaining necessary permission from the RBI,� it said.
Mumbai, Jul 14 (PTI): The rupee today firmed up by another 14 paise to close at a fresh one-month high of 66.91 on persistent selling of the American currency by banks and exporters in view of firm equities amid weakness of dollar in the overseas market. Good foreign capital inflow also boosted the rupee value against the dollar, a forex dealer said. Foreign portfolio investors and foreign institutional investors bought shares worth a net Rs 290.53 crore yesterday, as per provisional data of the stock exchanges. The rupee opened higher at 67.00 as against the last closing level of 67.05 at the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) market and firmed up further to 66.87 before closing at over one-month high of 66.91 per dollar, showing a gain of 14 paise or 0.21 per cent.

New Delhi, Jul 14 (PTI): The Special Investigation Team (SIT) on blackmoney has recommended ban on cash transactions of above Rs 3 lakh and restricting cash holding with individuals to not more than Rs 15 lakh to curb illegal wealth in the economy. The SIT headed by Justice M B Shah (retd), submitted its fifth report to the Supreme Court on methods to curb black money in the economy. The panel felt that large amount of unaccounted wealth is stored and used in form of cash. “Having considered the provisions which exist in this regard in various countries and also having considered various reports and observations of courts regarding cash transactions the SIT felt that there is a need to put an upper limit to cash transactions,� an official statement said. SIT recommended a total ban on cash transactions above Rs 3 lakh and “an Act be framed to declare such transactions as illegal and punishable under law.� It also felt that, given the fact of unaccounted wealth being held in cash which are further confirmed by huge

Peshawar school massacre leader ‘killed in US-led air strike’: Officials they added. Naray “orchestrated multiple terrorist operations in Pakistan to include the January 2016 attack on Bacha Khan University, the September 2015 Badaber Air Force Base attack, and the December 2014 Peshawar school attack that resulted in the deaths of more than 130 children,” US defence department spokesman Peter Cook said. Naray led the Tariq Gidar Group, which was a militant faction with ties to the Pakistani Taliban, Mr Cook said. He was killed “along with four other enemy combatants
Nepal PM sees India’s hand behind toppling his govt. Kathmandu, Jul 14 (IANS): In a blunt statement, Nepal Prime Minister K.P. Oli has blamed India for being behind the CPN (Maoist Centre) pulling out support to his government. “India’s role was primarily behind” the pulling out of support by the Maoists, Oli said on Thursday in a conference on National Security in Kathmandu, adding that the process of government change was “not an automatic process but conducted by remote control”. Nepal-India ties took a dip after Oli came into power last October, which was followed by the five-month-long economic blockage on the Nepal-India border by the Madhesi protesters. Oli since the very beginning has been a critic of Indian “high-handedness” in Nepal’s internal political affairs. Nepal’s Maoists pulled out support from the government on Tuesday and a notrust motion was registered by the CPN (Maoist Centre)
and Nepali Congress in Parliament against Oli after the latter refused to resign. Oli said “there was a feast in a five-star hotel” after the Maoist Centre pulled out support. It was widely reported in Nepali media that Indian Ambassador to Nepal Ranjit Rae “threw a feast” after the Maoist Centre pulled out support to the government on Tuesday evening. Oli, who now faces a no-confidence motion in Parliament, said he “cannot compromise on national security” in the name of maintaining cordial relationship with neighbours. “I had never compromised on national interest in any difficult situation; so India used the Nepali Congress and Maoists against my government and are trying to topple it,” he said. Earlier in May, when the Maoists attempted government change, Oli had accused India and recalled Nepal’s Ambassador from New Delhi and cancelled the visit of the President to India.
China to respond decisively if provoked in SCS Beijing, Jul 14 (IANS): China on Thursday said there will be a “decisive response” if it was provoked in the disputed South China Sea (SCS) over which its claims have been rejected by a UN-backed court. “If anyone wants to take any provocative action against China’s security interests based on the award, China will make a decisive response,” foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang said at a press conference. Beijing has rejected the ruling of the Permanent Court of Arbitration that China had no historical claims over the South China Sea. Lu reiterated China’s stance on the tribunal, calling it “unlawful”. Beijing has boycotted the tribunal’s proceeding and accused it of being funded by the former Philippines government that had approached court in 2013. Earlier on Wednesday, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Liu Zhenmin said Beijing had the right to set up an air defence zone over the disputed waters. The South China Sea is a marginal sea that is part of the Pacific Ocean, encompassing an area from the Karimata and Malacca Straits to the Straits of Taiwan, of around 3.5 million sq km. K

The US had informed Pakistani army chief Gen Raheel Sharif of the death, a Pakistani army spokesman said. There was no official comment from the Pakistani Taliban. However, one commander confirmed the death to Reuters, calling it “a huge loss to the small but most effective Taliban faction”.
‘I don’t want any more bloodshed in South Sudan’, says President JUBA, Jul 14 (Agencies): South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir called on arch-rival Riek Machar Thursday to meet for talks to salvage peace after days of intense gun battles in the capital Juba. “I don’t want any more bloodshed in South Sudan,” Kiir said, speaking in public for the first time since fighting erupted on Friday. “I want Dr Riek Machar, the first vice president of the republic, to be near me, so we can chart the way forward.” Kiir spoke at the bullet-scarred presidential palace, standing alongside ceasefire monitoring chief Festus Mogae, a former Botswanan president, and African Union special
envoy Alpha Oumar Konare, a former president of Mali. He called for Machar to meet him for talks to save the peace deal but acknowledged the deep mistrust that led to days of intense fighting that has left hundreds dead. “I talked with Dr Machar today, in the morning, and I asked him to come, but it was difficult for him to accept,” Kiir said, adding that he did not know Machar’s exact whereabouts but that neither he nor his allies were in any danger.
Hillary Clinton in Atlantic City, N.J., last week. Washington, Jul 14 (Agencies): Hillary Clinton has emerged from the F.B.I. investigation into her email practices as secretary of state a wounded candidate with a large and growing majority of voters saying she cannot be trusted, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll. As Mrs. Clinton prepares to accept the Democratic Party’s nomination at the convention in Philadelphia this month, she will confront an electorate in which 67 percent of voters say she is not honest and trustworthy. That number is up five percentage points from a CBS News poll conducted last month, before the F.B.I. released its findings. Mrs. Clinton’s six-percentage-point lead over the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald J. Trump, in a CBS News poll last month has evaporated. The two candidates are now tied in a general election matchup, the new poll indicates, with each receiving
2ND DEATH ANNIVERSARY LATE W. MANTHRON KONYAK
the support of 40 percent of voters. Any single poll is but a snapshot, and many other polls show Mrs. Clinton with a narrow but consistent lead over Mr. Trump. The Times/CBS News survey was conducted shortly after the release of the F.B.I. report on her email practices that suggested they were imprudent but not illegal. The damage from those revelations may or may not prove lasting. Mr. Trump is also distrusted by a large number of voters — 62 percent — but that number has stayed constant despite increased scrutiny on his business record and falsehoods in his public statements and Twitter messages. But Mrs. Clinton’s shifting and inaccurate explanations of her email practices at the State Department appear to have resonated more deeply with the electorate. Last week, the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, recom-
mended no criminal charges be filed against Mrs. Clinton over her handling of classified information on a private email server, but he called her actions “extremely careless.” The investigation undercut many of Mrs. Clinton’s statements over the past 18 months to explain and defend her decision to rely on the private server at her home in Chappaqua, N.Y. Mrs. Clinton and her campaign celebrated the Justice Department’s decision not to indict her as a legal victory, but the political fallout appears significant, at least for now. She and her aides have vowed to win back the public’s trust, while acknowledging that this will be tough. Voters still view Mrs. Clinton as vastly more prepared for the job — with 50 percent saying she is prepared, compared with the 30 percent who say the same about Mr. Trump. Voters’ views of Mrs. Clinton’s preparedness have also declined, by nine percentage points since last month. As the candidates head to their respective party conventions, they will confront voters who range from disappointed to disgruntled about their choices. Just 28 percent of voters said they had a positive view of Mrs. Clinton, compared with 33 percent last month. Asked if her email practices were illegal, 46 percent of voters said yes, compared with 23 percent who said using a private server was improper but not illegal. Twenty-four percent said she did nothing wrong.

London, Jul 14 (Agencies): A militant who masterminded a deadly attack on a Pakistani school in 2014 has been killed in a US-led air strike, US and Pakistani officials say. Umar Naray allegedly planned the attack on an army public school in Peshawar that left 150 people dead - mostly children and female teachers. He led a group linked to the Pakistani Taliban, US defence officials said. According to BBC, he was killed over the weekend in Nangarhar province, in Afghanistan near the border with Pakistan,
hopes of running. His replacement at the Ministry of Justice, Ms Truss, was previously secretary of state for environment, food and rural affairs. Meanwhile, new Education Secretary Ms Greening’s department is to also take on higher and further education, skills and apprenticeships. Ms Greening said she “absolutely delighted” at her appointment. Earlier, the new chancellor, Mr Hammond, said there would be “no emergency Budget” when asked about his first priorities as chancellor. His predecessor George Osborne warned during the EU referendum campaign that he would have to cut public spending and increase taxes in an emergency Budget if there was a vote for Brexit. Mr Hammond said he would make “carefully considered decisions over the summer”, followed by an Autumn Statement “in the normal way”.

Third thought and a challenge for young women - Imlibenla Wati, Miss World Beauty India.

ou shall raise and teach your kids with the heart you live and not with the physical beauty alone’ is one of the inspiring lines that keeps on ringing in my mind always and it makes me think as to how I’ll be as a mother and how my kids would grow up to be in the years ahead. I cannot proclaim myself as “ the perfect woman “ but I was raised by one good woman who established so many things and positive bases in my life and it’s entirely her teachings after God’s mercy that has really led me to a graceful growth, My mother. Just like the notions of life, The process in developing as a decent human being cannot be very smooth but under healthy beliefs and teachings,
One can definitely evolve to be a rational human. It is in fact all dependent on any individual’s understanding as to whether that being can be good or bad. But with so many things happening in the world and even in our society, I feel very strongly about dignity of women and empowering the class of womanhood especially amongst the young girls that are growing up today and who are vulnerable to just so many ugly directions of the world’s gluttony. Honest morale character and humility are two of the vital assets in a woman that can lead her on becoming the person she dreams of. It is in fact not a very easy task to be someone with high perseverance and always
drawing a scale of conduct spiritually as well as in the social field and just trying to be a good human being. But I believe that without the accomplishment of making oneself to be rational and poise from the inside, To simply become a dominant figure in the world would be far fetched. And coming to the most significant part about being a true woman, I feel that we are incredibly all different individuals but simultaneously blessed with different talents to soar high and flourish in life. There need to exist this understanding about self respect as women and also about the respect we get from the people living around us. It should be a major goal that with the talents and brains that God has given us, We should make use of it in the right way always and the most of it all. Despite trials, We should always try to hold on to our principles and be that woman who wears Prada or Gucci because of her dedication and honest sweat. I’m also in a industry where the social media is all over when it comes to my presence in events and other projects. I’ve always been asked a number of times why I don’t carry an eminent designer’s bag or just about why I use the same phone for a very long time and not an iPhone! But I don’t do all that because I

Acaut :anti-adulderation banners
do not have the resources to be living like a princess and cannot allow myself to be seen as a rich woman when I do not have anything in reality. Perhaps, In time I can be an all designer’s girl from head to toe but for that I need to work hard and earn it. Thus, The statements of my dad always fills me up because since I was a little kid, He told me “ never to forget your roots and live accordingly “. Bringing this fact into a conclusion, I want myself and all the other young women to be dominant in any field because of our hard work alone. We should and shall carry ourselves in the name and dignity we earn and come up with. Deteriorating one’s self esteem and going with the wind by being disloyal to oneself through selling of flesh and involving in activities that would shatter ourselves and our lives would be a very false step. Also, Going about a glamorous life bragging in someone’s glory would set one’s profile to bitter embarrassment and melancholic respect. Thereafter, Let’s be girls that mature into women who can definitely rule the world and bring about diverse changes and set the existing negative realms about women to stronger and positive heights.

Despite lacking world-renowned stars, Brazil’s swimming team could eclipse the six finals appearances achieved at the 2008 Games in Beijing, CBDA superintendent Ricardo de Moura said. “Our objective is to have the best campaign ever by a Brazilian swimming team,” Moura told the Globo newspaper.

Rohan Bopanna said he is professional enough to deal with the situation. “On the circuit we change partners very often. So we are used to that. In 2013, I played with Roger Vasselin and made semis in Wimbledon. It’s a matter of getting good practice and it could work out. We just have to get right practice and some good communication going on. Understand each other. It will definitely benefit us. “The only thing we can do is practice a lot and get used to conditions. Five days is a lot. I am a person who can move on. Certain things happen but you keep moving on. The wins and loses also help that. Sometimes you lose a close match but next week it’s a fresh tournament. Everyday is a new day. We have to overcome these challenges. “We have to find a way, communicate well. Like talking on the court, discussing what we have to do, how we have to plan strategy. How we have to combine as a team and gel together,” he said.
GENEVA, Jul 14 (Agencies): An IOC disciplinary commission stripped Ukrainian weightlifter Yulia Kalina of her 2012 Olympic bronze on Wednesday over a doping offence, ordering her to immediately return the medal. Additional analysis of blood tests taken from the 27year-old during the London Games had tested positive for a prohibited substance, according to IOC, which said Kalina had been disqualified from the 58-kilo category event. It ordered her to return “the bronze medal, the diploma and the medallist pin” she took home from the 2012 Olympics. Kalina tested positive for Dehydrochlormethyltestosterone, also called Turinabol, the IOC said, and comes as the Olympic body seeks to tame a series of raging doping scandals ahead of the Rio Games next month. The IOC said the ruling would enter into force “immediately” and ordered the Ukrainian Olympic Committee to “ensure full implementation of this decision.” The IOC has been carrying out additional tests of samples taken at the 2008 Beijing and the London 2012 Games using “improved analytical methods, in order to possibly detect prohibited substances that could not be identified by the analysis performed at the time of these editions of the Olympic Games.”

Chandigarh, Jul 14 (PTI): Forget the past and communicate as much as possible -- that’s how Rohan Bopanna plans to make his partnership with Leander Paes click in next month’s Olympics as he feels there is no point in holding on to the bitterness which has marred Indian tennis. Bopanna, who wanted to play with Saketh Myneni but was teamed with Paes by AITA for Rio, says it’s better to forget a few episodes. And he credits the tough and lonely life on the ATP tour for helping him overcome such setbacks. Bopanna and Paes are here for the Davis Cup tie against Korea. They will play on Saturday against Hong Chung and Yunseong Chung. “You can’t keep dwelling on the past. If you keep dwelling on past, you never get positives.

I am going straight to Rio after Toronto, Leander will also be there. Those few days we will try to get practice as much as we can. And get prepared,” Bopanna told PTI in an interaction.

AN APPEAL
NRL Energy Station 2½ Mile NH 39 Dimapur, at the very outset appreciates the noble task initiated by ACAUT in bringing awareness to the public regarding the nefarious activities of a few individuals with vested interests who have been indulging in illegal activities of fuel adulteration at the cost of the general public. In the process, many innocent people are affected and victimized causing anxiety and loss of reputation to some innocent individuals while the public remain passive observers to the onslaught perpetuated upon them. In order to avoid such undue exploitation to the innocent public, NRL Energy Station fervently appeals to the State Government to wake up and constitute an SIT without any bias before it is too late to investigate the prevalent situation of rampant adulteration of petrol under the nose of the law enforcing agency, which has been detected by an NGO and punish the perpetrators.

Liverpool beat Fleetwood
Liverpool celebrate with Marko Grujic after he gave them the lead against Fleetwood. London, Jul 14 (Agencies): Marko Grujic scored on his debut for Liverpool as they sealed a 5-0 victory over Fleetwood in a pre-season friendly on Wednesday evening. Ben Woodbur n, 16, doubled the lead just after half-time, before Lucas and a Roberto Firmino double gave the Reds a solid win. Danny Ings also missed a first-half penalty with Saido Mane once again impressing alongside youngster Ryan Kent. Liverpool face Wigan next on Sunday before travelling to Huddersfield, then heading to California to take part in the Inter national Champions Cup.
Fleetwood started well and had the first attack as Akil Wright crossed in for David Ball, but Dejan Lovren cleared the danger before the striker could sort out his feet. Grujic then showed his talent as Jon Flanagan played in a cross from the left that he just headed wide of the post. Liverpool were awarded the penalty just after the tenminute mark and it was Grujic, on debut, who won it, barging Jimmy Ryan off the ball before being fouled by Wright in the box. After a hesitant run-up, Ings had his effort saved by Chris Neal, who went the right way to keep the scores level. But it only took five minutes for the Reds to take
the lead. Mane and Alberto Moreno linked up brilliantly throughout the first half and it lead to the goal as the new signing fed in his team-mate, whose ball across the face of goal found an unmarked Grujic in the right corner and he fired home to scenes of wild celebration. Liverpool began to turn the screw after going ahead with Mane and Grujic both hitting the woodwork in quick succession, before Lovren had a back-post header saved by Neal, while Ryan fired a shot high over the bar for Fleetwood. Grujic nearly nabbed a second just before the break as Trent Alex-Arnold’s cross found him at the top of the
box. But his effort was saved. Bobby Grant nearly slid a David Ball cross past Loris Karius at the back post but couldn’t quite connect. Both sides made 11 changes at half-time, and it was Liverpool who added a second goal seven minutes after the break. Lucas played a delightful ball into Kent on the right of the box, who crossed to Woodburn at the back post as the teenager home to double the visitors’ lead. The duo could both have added a third not long after, with Kent firing with aplomb from the right before he played in Woodburn in acres of space on the left of the box but both shots were well saved by second-half goalkeeper Alex Cairns. The remaining goals didn’t take long to come to fruition, and it was Lucas who netted the third as Firmino played in Kent on the right of the box and his cross found the long-serving midfielder who coolly put the ball into the back of the net. And the Brazilian playmaker wasn’t far behind with around a minute between each goal, as Oviemuno Ejaria fired a ball to Woodburn in the box and with Cairns off his line to smother his shot, the ball fell into the path of Firmino who fired home the fourth. A fifth looked on the cards before full-time and almost on the strike of the whistle, Woodburn took a great touch to control the ball on the left of the box and passed into the path of the oncoming Firmino who bundled it past Cairns to complete the Reds’ victory.
India jumps to 152nd in FIFA rankings New Delhi, Jul 14 (PTI): Riding on their back-to-back wins over Laos last month, India made a big leap of 11 places to occupy 152nd spot in the latest world football rankings issued by FIFA. India beat Laos 6-1 and 1-0 in the home and away play-off matches to make it to the 2019 Asian Cup qualifying tournament. Stephen Constantine’s side gained 49 points from previous month and is now ranked highest in South Asia and 27th in Asia. In fact, India is the fourth best positive mover among the Asian countries this month after Tajikistan (up 19 places to 145th), Yemen (up 16 places to 160th) and Turkmenistan (up 14 places to 120th). Iran (39th) remain Asia’s number one ranked team, followed by Korea Republic (48th), Uzbekistan (56th), Japan (57th) and Australia (59th). Overall, Argentina remain on top, despite losing to Chile in the Copa America Centenario summit clash. Belgium, Colombia, Germany and Chile retained their places at second, third, fourth and fifth while UEFA Euro 2016 champions Portugal moved up two places to be at sixth. Euro losing finalists France are at seven, followed by former world champions Spain, Brazil and Italy in the top 10. New Zealand emerged as the month’s biggest climbers, moving up a whopping 54 places to 93rd on the back of an OFC Nations Cup victory that saw the the All Whites qualify for the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup and furthered their FIFA World Cup qualifying ambitions.
appealed the decision of the ISL Disciplinary Commission to dock FC Goa 15 points for the 2016 season of Hero ISL. FSDL in its appeal had represented that the larger interest of the fans of FC Goa and the level playing field for all teams will be affected because of this and had requested the Appeals commission for a lenient view on the docking of points.” FC Goa had filed their appeal before the ISL Appeals Panel comprising Vyas in May. “FC Goa, on their part, had appealed to the Appeals commissioner on the ban on their co-owners, the financial penalty in addition to the docking of points,” the ISL said in the statement. The ISL Regulatory Commission slapped the Goan franchise with a Rs 11 crore fine, docked 15 points
and banned co-owners Dattaraj Salgaocar and Shrinivas Dempo for three and two years respectively for boycotting the ISL final prize distribution ceremony and “bringing the league into disrepute”. The FC Goa co-owners were adjudged to have decided to boycott the prize distribution ceremony even before the alleged assault of Chennaiyin FC captain Elano Blumer on Dattaraj. The ISL Regulator y Commission took the decisions after the conclusion of the hearings in Mumbai relating to the controversy surrounding the scuffle between Chennaiyin FC’s Brazillian marquee player Elano Blumer and FC Goa officials after the ISL second season final in Margao in December last.

Murray was instrumental in helping Britain to their first Davis Cup victory for 79 years last November, but had suggested it was unlikely he would feature against Serbia, who are also missing their talisman Novak Djokovic.

Chandigarh, Jul 14 (PTI): Beset by injuries to singles players and ‘mistrust’ between the Rio-bound doubles players, India would expect young Ramkumar Ramanathan and Saketh Myneni to rise to the occasion when they face Korea in the Asia/Oceania Group I Davis Cup tie, starting here tomorrow. The 21-year-old Ramkumar will make his Davis Cup debut for the country as Yuki Bhambri and Somdev Devvarman are nursing their respective injuries. The Chennai lad’s game is full of energy, passion and sharp strokes, especially his forehand, but lack of consistency has not taken him far on the Tour. This is the moment for him to enhance his reputation by winning Davis Cup matches for the country. He has won a few tough for him (Andy Murray), be- matches, lost a few close concause it’s not easy to change surface again,” Smith told reporters. “I was hopeful last week that he would play but then he goes and wins Wimbledon and has Olympics and U.S. Open coming up and I hope he does well there also. As a team we are all delighted for him. “I hope he comes out Thursday or Friday to support the team.” World number 73 Daniel Evans, who was named in the initial squad, also missed out due to personal issues and a shoulder injury. Murray has committed to playing at the 2016 Rio Olympics, where he will look to defend his title.
Verdict on FC Goa ISL fiasco next week Murray to miss Britain’s
New Delhi, Jul 14 (PTI): Former Chief Justice of Bombay High Court, Kshitij Vyas, will pronounce his verdict next week on FSDL and FC Goa’s appeal against sanctions imposed on them by ISL’s Regulatory Commission for boycotting the prize distribution ceremony following last edition’s final. Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL) is a joint venture between IMGReliance and Star India. “Honourable former Chief Justice of Bombay High Court Mr Kshitij Vyas, acting as the independent jury member of the ISL Appeals Panel will pronounce the decision on the appeals made by FSDL & FC Goa next week,” the Indian Super League said in a statement. It added, “FSDL had

tests and is good enough to pull it off together with Myneni against the Koreans, who have landed without their best player, Hyeon Chung, ranked 107 now but was career-best 51 last year. In his absence the bestranked player in Korean camp is Seong-chan Hong, who is placed as low as 427 in the ATP singles list. Yong-Kyu Lim (626), Yunseong Chung (628) and Hong Chung (655) are the other players in the side. This line-up is not likely to trouble India who have far more experienced players in the squad. Myneni now has played three ties and has lost only one doubles match. Myneni, though, has been troubled by a shoulder injury recently and it is crucial for the hosts that he remains physically fit. He has the game required to win matches in this tie. Expectations while representing the nation can create a
lot of pressure in the head but both Ramkumar and Myneni have the chance to deliver now. They are not up against a formidable rival and have home advantage plus the fan support. Grass is not the surface players from either side prefer but India chose to host this tie on grass as it is akin to an alien turf for the Koreans. It gives advantage to the Indians, who are more experienced as far as the surface is concerned. But it is not a good advertisement for the game in the country as India have not chosen hard courts to play despite the fact that their own players are more comfortable on that. And also that they are up against a side which has come with players who are either in 400s or 600s in the ATP ranking list. It’s true that India must have had Hyeon Chung in mind when it made the choice, but it still is a strange selection.
No female Mo Farah, Schippers to hone Rio readiness in Monaco physiotherapist for women wrestlers
Mo Farah
Dafne Schippers
MONACO, Jul 14 (Agencies): Mo Farah and Dafne Schippers, arguably Europe’s two biggest track stars, will hone their Olympic preparations with what promises to be two testing outings at Friday’s Monaco Diamond League. Farah, reigning Olympic gold medallist in the 5000m and 10,000m and defending two-time world champion in both events, will warm up for Rio, just three weeks away, with some speed work over 1500m. It is an event he has run before, famously setting a European record of 3:28.81 in 2013. Farah clocked 3:28.93 to finish fourth in the event at last year’s meeting and another fast time looks a certainty as he goes up against the top Kenyan trio of three-time world 1500m champion Asbel Kiprop, world silver medallist Elijah Manangoi and Ronald Kwemoi. Kiprop’s winning time last season made him the third fastest man over the distance, with just Morocco’s Hicham El Guerrouj and American Bernard Lagat, then running for Kenya, having gone faster. Also in the field at the
Stade Louis II this Friday are Algeria’s Olympic champion Taoufik Makhloufi, Morocco’s Olympic and world bronze medallist Abdalaati Iguider (respectively seventh and eighth fastest ever) and Norway’s Ingebrigtsen brothers Filip, who recently won the European title, and Henrik, who claimed European bronze in Amsterdam last week. Schippers claimed two golds on her home track in the Netherlands as she wowed her Dutch fans by scorching to the 100m title and running a second leg that ensured victory for the 4x100m relay team. “It’s a very good time and a national record. Now we are ready for more, for Rio. We always want more,” Schippers said after the Dutch team won the relay in 42.04 seconds. She did not race the 200m, the event she won at last year’s Beijing world championships in a third-fastest time ever of 21.63sec. Schippers will compete in the 100m in Monaco and will face stiff opposition from American Tianna Bartoletta, the reigning world long jump champion who will also compete in the 100m at Rio.
New Delhi, Jul 14 (Agencies): In a strange move by the Sports Authority of India (SAI), provision for just one physio was made for India’s Rio-bound male and female wrestlers. According to a report in the Times of India, all of India’s eight wrestlers - 5 men and 3 women - will be taken care of by Brajesh Kumar. At the moment, three physios are present at Indian contingent’s training sessions. Kumar and Dhirendra Pratap are the physio’s for the men’s team, while Rucha Kashalkar looks after the women. “We girls would be more comfortable having a female physiotherapist with us in Rio. The current physio -Rucha -has been with us for a significant period of time and the best part is that she devotes all her time to the women wrestlers. In a tournament of the stature of Olympics, it’s important that the women wrestlers have a dedicated physio for them,” Vinesh Phogat told the newspaper. Vinesh, her cousin Babita Kumari and Sakshi Malik are part of the Indian women’s team for Rio. Never before have three women wrestlers represented India at the Olympics. The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has now written to SAI and Union sports ministry for a female physiotherapist for the team. “A separate physio is always dedicated to the women’s wrestling team for various other tournaments we go to. Considering the significance of Olympics, the women’s team having its own physio is essential,’’ said Kuldeep Malik, the national women’s wrestling coach.
