India’s youngest chief minister

I T A NA G A R , J U L 1 7 (AGENCIES): Pema Khandu was on Sunday sworn in as the new Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh heading a Congress government, a day after the party pulled off a dramatic success winning back all its rebels by choosing a new leader, marking the culmination of fast-paced political developments.

C h ow n a M e i n wa s sworn in as the Deputy Chief Minister. Son of late Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu, 37year-old Pema, who became the youngest chief minister in the country and the ninth CM of state, and Mein were administered the oath of office and secrecy by Governor Tathagata Roy at the Rajbhavan here. Dorjee Khandu had died in an air crash in 2011.

Addressing a press conference shortly after he was sworn in, Pema said an expansion of his ministry would take place only after the Governor returned to the state.

Pema said he would inculcate a ‘Team Arunachal’ spirit among elected leaders irrespective of party affiliations for overall development of his state.

Participate in ‘Skill India’: Gov appeals DIMAPUR, JUL 17 (NPN): Nagaland governor, P.B. Acharya Sunday asked the people of Nagaland to participate in the “Skill India” campaign initiated by Prime Minister, Narendra Modi and avail the benefits. Acharya made this appeal on the occasion of “World Youth Skills Day”, which was observed on July 15. He reminded the youth that the Central government has allocated Rs 12,000 crore outlay for Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana to impart skills to one crore people over the next four years (2016-2020). The scheme will cover imparting fresh training to 60 lakh youth and certify 40 lakh people who have acquired skills non-formally under the Recognition of Prior Learning.

Under ‘Skill India’, vocational training would also be provided to youth so that they could stand on their own legs, Acharya said. According to governor, 2015-16 was quite remarkable for India as over 1.04 crore youth trained under various initiatives of ‘Skill India’, and 36.8% growth achieved as compared to last year.

Since the Central government has regarded skill development as a national priority, separate Ministry for Skills, Vocational Training and Livelihoods as an important means of nation-building to the forefront has been created, Acharya said. He said apart from government, many private institutions were training the youth on various skills while many centres and colleges set up to generate employment and trained youths for jobs.

This is it!

“All elected leaders of the state would be made a part of the development process cutting across political lines.”

From assisting his father in politics to working for social transformation, Pema has come a long way to occupy the coveted post.

Hours ahead of the scheduled floor test in the Assembly yesterday which Chief Minister Nabam Tuki was directed by the governor to take, the Congress Legislature Party had elected Pema, in place of Tuki, in a dramatic turnaround. Tuki was restored to the Chief Minister’s post on Wednesday by the Supreme Court.

Pema then staked claim to power on the basis of the support of 45 party MLAs along with two independents.

In a volte-face, ousted chief minister Khaliko Pul also returned to the party fold with 30 dissident MLAs, a move that stunned the BJP which had supported his government.

In the 60-member House with an effective strength of 58, Congress now claims the support of 47 MLAs, including two independents.

UGC asks varsities to offer IPR as elective subject NE W D E L HI, J U L 17 (AGENCIES): Emphasizing on importance of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), the University Grants Commission (UGC) has asked varsities to offer it as a generic elective subject under the Choice Based Credit System.

In a letter to universities, UGC secretary Jaspal S Sandhu said that creations of mind such as inventions, designs for industrial articles, literary, artistic work, symbols, names and images etc are protected by lntellectual Property rights.

The importance of IPR was first recognized in Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property (1883) and the Berne Convention for Protection of Literary and Artistic Work (1886), the UGC official’s letter said.

IPRs should be protected to encourage the creator and also striking a balance between the innovators and public interest by creating an awareness where creativity can flourish, the letter added.

“Keeping in view the importance of IPR which recognizes the work of the creator, you are requested to devise, through academic council, inclusion of the IPR as a generic elective subject under the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) in your esteemed university and the affiliated colleges,” the UGC secretary said in his letter.

ITANAGAR, JUL 17: After the Supreme Court on July 13, reinstated Nabam Tuki as chief minister, the apex court however, did not mention or specify when he should face the trial of strength in the house.

This lacunae in the Supreme Court order may have given the BJP another opportunity to derail Nabam Tuki when caretaker Governor Tathagata Roy on July 14, gave Nabam Tuki only 48 hours i.e., July 16 to face the floor test. Roy also rejected Tuki’s plea for allowing him ten days to prove he has majority in the house.

Normally, during such political crisis, a reasonable time of around one week or ten days or even more is given for a trial of strength between the contesting rivals.

On July 15, it became clear, that Tuki would certainly lose the tr ust vote and that Khaliko Pul who formed the People’s Party of Arunachal(PPA) with 30 rebel congress MLAs would win with majority backing.

What happened in the eleventh hour surprised everybody and even many top politicians such as NEDA Convenor and former Congress and present Assam BJP minister Himanta Biswa Sharma totally by surprise.

Nabam Tuki had only 15 Congress MLAs while Congress rebel leader Khaliko

Addl. AG reacts to ACAUT, says Govt austerity NH lauds govt for SIT probe criticism should not be hostile comes to nought DIMAPUR, JUL 17 (NPN): Senior Advocate & Addl. Advocate General of Nagaland, K. Sema has reacted to the remark made on the state judiciary by ACAUT, which was published in all the local media.

In a rejoinder, the Addl.

AG while welcoming “honest criticism of the judiciary in the state”, however said that “fair and temperate criticism of the judiciary and its institution must be healthy, constructive and in a dignified and respectful language, but should not be hostile, undermining or tending to undermine the public confidence in the administration of justice”.

“Justice is not a cloistered virtue and is entitled to respectful scrutiny,” it added.

While acknowledging that a citizen was entitled to speak out or express the infirmities from which any institution including the judiciary suffers, the advocate however said such rights of a citizen

must be left unimpaired.

The advocate at the same time said “no citizen has an absolute and unfettered right to freedom of speech and expression to scandalize and degrade the judiciary bringing it to disrespect and impeding public confidence in the administration of justice and creating disbelief in the efficacy of judicial administration by the courts”.

The scurrilous attack on the entire judiciary of the state, which has within its ambit the High Court, was uncalled for in the context of the ACAUT rejecting the constitution of SIT, the addl. advocate general said.

The accusation made by ACAUT that the “judiciary in the state is under the spell of politician and corruptive influences and the constitution of a judicial inquiry would be “a spit on public face” since the public has lost faith in the state judiciary”, was nothing short of degrading (Cont’d on p-7)

KOHIMA, JUL 17 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister T.R. Zeliang who also holds the Finance portfolio had four months ago, announced an austerity drive during the 11th session of the 12th Nagaland Legislative Assembly where the entire elected members had voluntary decided to forego allowances for refreshment, newspapers, magazines and other allowances.

However, the austerity measure became futile as there was a volte face when the government increased allowances and salaries, allowances and other facilities of chief minister, speaker, ministers, deputy speaker, parliamentary secretaries and MLAs which was passed in the 12th session of the 12th NLA. The house on July 14, passed the bill, titled the “Nagaland salaries, allowances and other facilities of the chief minister, other ministers, speaker, leaders of opposition, deputy speaker, other members of the Nagaland legislative assembly / parliamentary secretaries and pension for ex-members Act 2005 (fifth amendment) Bill ,2016”.

DIMAPUR, JUL 17 (NPN): Appreciating state government for its decision for an SIT probe into fuel adulteration racket in the state, Naga Hoho (NH) has appealed SIT to deliver “acceptable testimony” to the people without delay. “Since the fuel adulteration racket at Dimapur is just an iceberg and therefore it has become imperative to check thoroughly in the entire districts of Nagaland”, said NH president P. Chuba Ozukum and secretary information and publicity, C. Daipao in a press statement.

NH expressed surprise as to why district administration always waited for public to find out the adulteration, when the state machineries were supposed to check the adulteration rackets from time to time.

According to NH, fuel adulteration racket has become a regular phenomenon in the state, and was a grave concern for every citizen, organization and association.

The hoho said there has been a mushrooming growth of oil business in various parts of the state, especially along national highways, run by a section of “rich” and “influential” people. In such a situation, every car owner was puzzled on availability of unadulterated fuel in fuel pumps, NH observed. However, the Hoho has lauded the initiative of individuals/organizations on the discovery of fuel rackets that led to the arrest of few kingpins involved. NH also expressed concern over food adulterations in shops and market.

“Over the years, many people must have died in the state owing to various food related ailments though many cases have been kept in the dark”, NH said.

In this regard, the hoho appealed to the state government/concerned authority to perform their duties not only for the sake of salaries and facilities but to monitor timely as per the established Acts of all Food Business Operators and whosoever associated with any food business for the benefit of the common people.

ACAUT responds to NPF, PHQ statement DIMAPUR, JUL 17 (NPN): ACAUT has issued a rejoinder reacting to the press statements made by the Police Headquarters (PHQ) and the NPF press bureau pertaining to fuel adulteration issue. Maintaining that the PHQ had “broken every protocol and propriety by donning the role of government spokesperson”, ACUAT media cell noted that the government should have defended itself and not the police or NPF Central. It further said that the government’s spokesperson should be defending the CM or conveying the cabinet’s decision instead of a PRO of Nagaland Police.

Asserting that the PHQ cannot term ACAUT’s apprehension as baseless, it rather posed a challenge to the PHQ to make public all cases where SITs instituted by PHQ have settled cases and individuals imprisoned. If not, ACAUT said that the press release by PRO, Nagaland Police stands ridiculed. ACAUT said it could give the benefit of doubt provided the PHQ guarantees that the SIT would be free from

bias and political interference However, as thing stands, ACAUT alleged that the PHQ had already revealed its biasness by defending the government even before the SIT began its probe. In this regard, ACAUT said it “cannot believe that the SIT would be free from undue influence”.

Reacting to NPF Central, ACAUT said the chronic habit of political parties and NPGs accusing it as acting on behalf of some agency was deliberately made up propaganda to mislead the people. It further said that the public were not fools to believe busy-bodies which have lost all credibility.

It also reminded NPF that “ACAUT was not an NGO nor would like to behave like one since acting like one would mean that it has been “bought” by the government”.

“The apprehension of repercussion by NPF Central for its Govt. failure is well understood but twisting the fact which in black and white is desperate attempt to pre-empt Govt. failure upon ACAUT in the event that public choose to

come to the street”, ACUAT said. With regard to the statement that “the silence of the Chief Minister and the Government for such long periods on such grave issues would have in any other states led to massive street protests and unwarranted situations, even death”, ACAUT accused NPF of reconstructing the statement with an “evil design as suggesting that riots, violence and deaths could take place in itself, would indicate that criminal intentions are being harbored”.

ACAUT instead accused NPF central of trying to incite public to be on the street.

It alleged “NPF Central issuing a statement instead of the state government reveals that the state government was unable to defend itself on the fuel adulteration issue, as the department F&CS responsible of siphoning kerosene is under the chief minister”.

ACAUT opined that if they (state government and NPF) were serious on the issue, then it must demonstrated by calling in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

Though the fuel adulteration business had been going on for quite some time and an open secret to all, ACAUT said it was only recently that the matter had come to the public domain. “ACAUT would like to remind that the credibility of the government, the integrity of the police department and the judiciary depends on it, thus any shortage in delivery of justice would be a direct affront to the public who know all too well now”, the media cell said.

On July16, PRO Nagaland Police stated the allegation on chief minister remaining silent and the SIT being a mere ‘eye-wash’ to give a ‘clean-chit’ to the higher-ups, was not only erroneous but baseless and pre-judgmental.

On the other hand NPF in a press note said: “If ACAUT sincerely wants the Government to get to the bottom of the matter to uproot evil practices which affect all sections of the society, it should not hamper the Government to go ahead with the investigations as per laid down rules and regulations”.

Pul had 30 rebel MLAs and the support of 11 BJP and two independents taking the total to 43 in a house of 58(after two resigned earlier).

Khaliko Pul, on the pretext of attending the launch of the North East Democratic Alliance(NEDA) in Guwahati, had taken all supporting MLAs- 30 rebel Congress, 11 BJP and two independents along and housed in safety in hotels. There were many speculations on why all 30 rebel Congress MLAs returned back to the party before the trial vote. While the majority believed and expected Nabam Tuki’s imminent defeat, Congress general secretary in-charge North East, Dr. Jayakumar worked out his plan. He disclosed he had been working since July 13 till July 15 on the eve of the July 16 vote to work out a plan.

Dr. Jayakumar said he knew Nabam Tuki held the key to the continuance of a Congress government. On July 15 night, Dr. Jayakumar made Nabam Tuki understand the equation , that the only option was to make Pema Khandu as the new chief minister, as he (Khandu) had the support of 20 rebel MLAs. Dr. Jayakumar calculated that with 15 on Tuki’s side and 20 on Khandu’s side the total will be 35 MLAs supporting Khandu as chief minister. Dr. Jayakumar’s plan clicked as Tuki was okay with Khandu as CM since it would

deprive Khaliko Pul and likewise, Khaliko was willing to go along as Tuki would also not be the CM. Dr. Jayakumar then convened a meeting with Nabam Tuki and Pema Khandu the 37-year old son of late Dorje Khandu (then chief minister who died in a helicopter crash in 2011),on July 15 where Tuki proposed Khandu as the new CLP leader. This had a cascading effect when ten from Khaliko Pul’s side also returned to the Congress.

The next day, the reinstated chief minster Nabam Tuki submitted his resignation to the Governor and Pema Khandu staked claim to form the government with the support of 47 MLA that also included two independent MLAs. Summing up the events, Dr. Jayakumar said the BJP’s two Governors in Arunachal Pradesh had tried to derail democracy but the BJP’s conspiracy was defeated when Congress legislators came together. He also took a jibe at the boast made the former Congress and now BJP minister Himanta Biswa Sharma that he would make Arunachal a Congress-free state.

Citing the Arunachal Pradesh episode, the AICC general secretary said when Congress members unite and those who have left it return, the unity can stop the BJP from damaging India’s secular and democratic principles.

Mon district MLAs condole Shangyu’s demise

DIMAPUR, JUL 17 (NPN): Mon district MLAs have expressed shock and pain over the sudden demise of Shangyu Konyak, exMLA of Wakching A/c on July 15.

The MLAs described late Shangyu as a pioneer leader amongst the Konyak community, who was sincere, hardworking and a competent public leader.

He has contributed and delivered untiring service to the Konyak community and the Nagas in general, they said.

Though everyone would remember his tireless voluntary services to the society, the MLAs felt that the vacuum created by his death would be very difficult to be filled. The MLAs however said “no human being can go against the will and wisdom of Almighty, since life and death is in the hand of the Almighty God”.

The MLAs said they share deep sorrow and sympathy with the bereaved family and prayed to Almighty God to grant peace and solace to the departed soul.

One killed when mob tries to storm army camp; more forces rush to J&K

Security Jawans petrolling on a street during curfew on 9th consecutive day in Srinagar on Sunday. (PTI) SRINAGAR, JUL 17 (PTI): A mob tried to storm an army camp on Sunday in Bandipora district, shattering the day-long fragile peace in curfew-bound Kashmir even as the Centre rushed about two thousand additional CRPF personnel to shore up security in the Valley where violence since July 9 has claimed 39 lives.

Protesters attacked the army camp at Ajas in Bandipora district, forcing the security forces to open fire.

Three persons were injured in the incident, police said.

Earlier, MLA Bandipora Usman Abdul Majid had claimed that one person was killed and three others were injured in the clash.

Curfew was in force for the third consecutive day while normal life remained paralysed in the wake of deadly clashes that have rocked the Valley following the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani nine days ago, leaving 39 dead and over 3,160

injured. Two persons were also injured in security forces action when a mob pelted stones in Eidgah area of the city.

The fresh violence came even as the situation in curfewbound Kashmir was by and large peaceful during the day.

After restricting mobile telephone services, authorities have now snapped the landline connections to curb the violent protests. “All 10 districts of Kashmir Valley continue to remain under curfew today as a precautionary measure for maintaining law and order,” a police official said.

He said the decision to continue the curfew was taken to maintain law and order as one person was killed in fresh violence in Kupwara district yesterday. Police and paramilitary personnel were deployed in strength across the Valley for strict implementation of the prohibitory orders, the official said.

Official said that a total of 20 fresh companies (100

90 days paid leave for victims of sexual harassment

NEW DELHI, JUL 17 (PTI): Women central government employees who have filed complaints of sexual harassment can now get a paid leave of three months during the pendency of inquiry, the government has said.

The leave will be in addition to those already given to central government employees.

The move assumes significance as there have been complaints of accused trying to influence or threaten victims of sexual harassment in a few cases.

Leave up to a maximum of 90 days may be granted to an aggrieved female government servant during the pendency of inquiry, an order issued by Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) said.

“The leave so granted to the aggrieved woman under this rule shall not be debited against the leave account,” it said. This provision has been framed under the ‘Sexual Harassment of Women at Work-

place (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013--a legislation mandated to provide protection to women against sexual harassment at work place. Though the Act has the provision for grant of leave to the aggrieved woman up to a period of three months, the Union government had not yet incorporated it in the service rules that govern leave of its employees. The DoPT has now incorporated this provision in the Central Civil Services (leave) Rules, 1972.

“It will come as a relief to the victims who undergo a lot of trauma while working in the office that too in the presence of the accused,” a senior DoPT official said. Sexual harassment includes physical contact and advances, demand or request for sexual favours, sexually coloured remarks, showing any pornography and any other unwelcome physical, verbal and non-verbal conduct of a sexual nature.

personnel in each) are being rushed to the Valley which will be in addition to 2,800 Central Reserve Police Force personnel which were sent to assist the state police last week.

“Some of the fresh units will exclusively render the task of road opening parties in order to secure the movement of security forces convoys,” a senior official said.

About 60 battalions (about 1,000 in personnel each) are already stationed in the state as part of counter insurgency grid. A youth suffered pellet injury during a protest this evening in Rainawari area here.

While landline telephone connections in three north Kashmir districts of Baramulla, Bandipora and Kupwara were snapped yesterday, the interexchange calls for all landline connections in the Valley were snapped. Customers are not able to make calls to any phone outside their district.

While mobile telephony,

except BSNL mobiles, is suspended across Kashmir for the past eight days, the broadband internet services have been curtailed across the Valley.

No police or civil administration official was willing to reply to queries related to restrictions on telephone services. However, government sources said the step has been taken to contain the violent protests.

“The protests and mob attacks are being mobilised using telephones. Very reluctantly we have decided to take this step in order to prevent any further loss of life or property,” a government source said.

Mobile Internet services continued to remain suspended for the seventh day today while trains are also off the tracks in the Valley as a precautionary measure. The fresh curbs come as the local newspapers failed to hit stand for the second day after authorities raided the printing presses of media houses on Friday night.

The state government today also extended the summer vacations for schools and colleges in the Valley by another week. The educational institutions, which were scheduled to reopen tomorrow after 17-day break, will now reopen on July 25. Violent protests have rocked Kashmir since July 9 following killing of Burhan Wani and two of his associated in an encounter with security forces a day earlier in Kokernag area of Anantnag district.

In the ensuing clashes with security forces, 39 persons including a cop have been killed while 3164 persons including 1500 security force personnel have been injured.

The separatists groups -- both factions of Hurriyat Conference and JKLF -- have been issuing strike calls, a practice reminiscent of 2010 summer agitation.

CIC notice to Rajnath, Mayawati, Karat, Pawar, Sonia NEW DELHI, JUL 17 (PTI): Central Information Commission has issued fresh notices naming top leaders of six national parties -- Rajnath Singh, Mayawati, Sonia Gandhi, Prakash Karat, Sharad Pawar and Sudhakar Reddy -- asking them to appear before it in cases filed by activists for not responding to RTI queries.

The named notices were issued after one of the complainants R K Jain alleged that Registrar of CIC had adopted double standards in handling his complaints against the six national political parties - BJP, Congress, BSP, NCP, CPI(M) and CPI, by only naming Gandhi while the notices to others were sent to the party chiefs.

After the CIC declared these parties answerable under RTI Act in 2013, Jain had filed RTI applications with Congress and other political parties seeking details of donations, funding, internal elections of the parties, in February, 2014 and after getting no response from them, moved the CIC with a complaint.

The leaders have been asked to present their case on July 22 before full bench of the Commission comprising Information Commissioners Bimal Julka, Sridhar Acharyulu and Sudhir Bhargava which will hear the plea of Jain.

“Take notice that if you fail to furnish your comments/ reply by 20th July, 2016 and fail to appear on the aforesaid date and time, it will be presumed that you have nothing to say in your defence and the matter will be processed further as per law,” the notice said.

Earlier, a notice was issued to Gandhi by name while notices to rest of the parties were issued in the name of their Presidents/General Secretaries to which Jain had objected and complained to Chief Information Commissioner.

Kejriwal attacks PM Modi, Shah, blames Centre for confrontation NEW DELHI, JUL 17 (PTI): In the midst of his bitter fight with the Centre on a range of issues, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today accused the Modi dispensation of turning its relationship with Delhi government into an “IndiaPakistan” type situation and alleged that BJP President Amit Shah was “micromanaging” functioning of central probe agency CBI. In the first edition of his ‘Talk to AK’ show, seen as his answer to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Maan Ki Baat’ and an attempt to increase Aam Aadmi Party’s national connect, the Delhi Chief Minister said his government would have achieved four times of what has been done for the city in the last 17 months had “obstacles” not been put by the Centre.

Kejriwal touched upon a number of contentious issue including appointment of 21 Parliamentary Secretaries, arrest of a top bureaucrat by CBI and transfer of officers even as he taunted the Prime Minister saying, he was the “only corrupt Chief Minister in the country in the eyes of ” Modi. The Delhi Chief Minister, in the nearly two-hour-long programme that began with a monologue followed by a question and answer session, alleged that the Centre was trying to “break” the AAP government and that Shah was micromanaging CBI, adding, “but every dog has his day and all these will soon come to an end.”

Kejriwal, the AAP national convenor, indicated that the party may contest the next assembly polls in Gujarat, alleging that an “atmosphere of suppression” was prevailing there and people wanted to overthrow the BJP regime.

He said the Delhi government will conduct an “opnion poll” and not a “referendum” on the issue of full statehood for the city and bringing subjects such as police and land under

MUMBAI/AHMEDNAGAR, JUL 17 (PTI): A 15-year-old girl was brutally raped allegedly by three men who inflicted injuries all over her body and broke her limbs before throttling her in Kopardi village in Ahmednagar district, sparking outrage as well as political slugfest with the Congress demanding Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’ resignation on “moral grounds”.

Giving details about the incident, another police officer said in Ahmednagar that the trio (Shinde and two others) were consuming liquor under a tree to celebrate purchase of new motorcycle

“We have a chief minister who also holds Home portfolio. He refuses to acknowledge that the law and order situation in the state is deteriorating under his tenure. He did not even have time to go and visit the bereaved family. He should immediately take moral responsibility and resign,” the Congress leader said.

Leader Of Opposition in the Legislative Council Dhananjay Munde demanded capital punishment for the accused besides a high-level inquiry into the matter.

He alleged that photos of Ahmednagar district Guardian Minister Ram Shinde with the “prime accused” in the case are doing rounds in media.

“There was laxity on the part of police officials in arresting the accused. Photos of Guardian minister (of Ahmednagar district) Ram Shinde with the prime accused are going around in media.

Thus, there needs to be a high-level inquiry into the incident. Also, we demand fast track hearing of this case and capital punishment for the accused,” the NCP leader said.

When contacted, Shinde, who was recently elevated to the post of cabinet minister, said he had no relation with the accused and that the guilty will be dealt with an iron hand.

Soon after the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union, he had tweeted, “After UK referendum, Delhi will soon have a referendum on full statehood.”

Justifying his government’s spendings on advertisement, he insisted that it spent only Rs 75 crore not 526 crore in the last fiscal and accused the RSS of spreading rumours on the issue, saying it has no parallel in the world in spreading rumours.

“If they would not have made this India-Pakistan situation, then work done by us would have been four times.

I had told him (PM), forgive me if I have committed any mistake, but please end this irritants. A lot of work has been done. If not for obstacles, the amount of work done would have been four times more.

“Our Assembly passed 14 bills, including on time-bound services delivery, which had the clause of automatic compensation. It’s been eight months since this passage of this bill,” Kejriwal said.

Flanked by his deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and music composer Vishal Dadlani - the moderator for the programme, Kejriwal alleged that Delhi has become the “victim” of Centre’s con-

frontational attitude as AAP MLAs are being arrested on “false charges”.

“In PM’s eyes there is only one corrupt CM in the country. They want to break us. They enter into settings with other parties.

“Have FIRs been filed against Robert Vadra or Sonia Gandhi or Shivraj Singh Chouhan? They are not scared of me, they are scared of my honesty. The full police force is after us,” he said.

Alleging that Centre was trying to paralise Delhi administration, Kejriwal said his government will soon bring out ads to recruit experts from across for various departments.

“The Centre is working like the British used to treat the freedom fighters. I have told MLAs this is the second freedom struggle,” Kejriwal said “They are not probing the CWG scam. I have told my MLAs to be ready to go to jail.

If Rajendra Kumar was not in my office then I can challenge that he would not have been arrested. “The message to officers is do not work for us.

Amit Shah is micromanaging CBI. But every dog has his day.

All these will soon come to an end,” he said.

Warning the Centre not to “mess” with the student community, he said if the current “trend” continues then there may be a “danger” for the country in the future.

“The Centre led by BJP reduced the education budget by 25 per cent. From 82,000 crore to 68,000 crore. The country will be ruined if youth don’t study,” he said.

Referring to a letter to him by former Gujarat BJP MLA Yatin Oza in which the latter alleged that Amit Shah had struck a deal with AIMIM MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi ahead of the 2015 Bihar elections, the Delhi Chief Minister said if the claims are true, then it was very dangerous.

A scammed scheme

R

eplies to RTI provided by the Department of School Education(DoSE) to queries sought by three former presidents of the All Sumi Students Union on the amount of money sanctioned for Mid Day Meal Scheme (MDMS) under the Ministry of Human Resources Development(MHRD), has revealed a staggering amount of money to the tune of Rs. 73,98,73,164 is unaccounted and an amount of Rs. 3,44,59,000 missing while on transit between the offices of the finance department and DoSE. According to the table provided to media by the three former students leaders-Aheto V.Yeputhomi, Hukavi T.Yeputhomi, L.Khevishe Achumi and S. Zhevihe Sumi- the MHRD had released a total of Rs.150,49,90,000 for MDM scheme during the period 2010-16. That means, each year, Nagaland received around Rs.30,09,98,000 from the MHRD towards the MMS scheme. Another amount of Rs.3,44,59,000 was said to be “missing” while on transit from the MHRD to the Department of Finance (DoF) Nagaland. The three, in their joint statement, also claimed that another amount of Rs.1,32,00,000 was drawn as honorarium towards appointment of cooks during 2011-12. The signatories claimed, that in total an amount of Rs. 73,98,73,164 is “missing” or not accounted for under the MM Scheme for the period 2010-16. Under the MDMS, the central government provides funds to states on food items while the states are to bear the cost of transportation etc. Government schemes are funded out of tax payers’ money in order to promote an inclusive socio-economic growth and also to care for the economically weaker sections of society. The government of India had launched numerous pro-people schemes during the decades involving a few lakh crore rupees. The central and state governments share the cost of the Midday Meal Scheme, with the centre providing 75 percent and the states 25 percent. The central government provides grains and financing for other food. Costs for facilities, transportation, and labour is shared by the central and state governments. In Nagaland, the scheme has not been implemented in a proper manner.

In some schools, students are provided mid-day meal scheme only sometime during the month. In some schools, students get cooked food once or twice a month. In other schools, students are given uncooked rice and some lintels once a month. The MDMS aims to attract children from disadvantaged sections (especially girls, Dalits and Adivasis) to school, improving regularity, nutritional benefits, socialisation benefits and benefits to women are some that have been highlighted. The programme supplies free lunches on working days for children in primary and upper primary classes in government, government aided, local body, Education Guarantee Scheme, and alternate innovative education centres, Madarsa and Maqtabs supported under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, and National Child Labour Project schools run by the ministry of labour.

There is no doubt that there are issues being raised about the MDMS. First and as pointed by the three former student leaders, is the issue of corruption and misuse of funds. The second appears to be that even in the implementation part, the DoSE has a lot to answer about. This issue was also raised by none other than the Governor of Nagaland recently.

Any hope that an investigation by the state on itself, will bring out facts or hold those involved accountable, is misplaced.

DailyDevotion The Miracle of Belief My speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom… —1 Corinthians 2:4

Paul was a scholar and an orator of the highest degree; he was not speaking here out of a deep sense of humility, but was saying that when he preached the gospel, he would veil the power of God if he impressed people with the excellency of his speech.

Belief in Jesus is a miracle produced only by the effectiveness of redemption, not by impressive speech, nor by wooing and persuading, but only by the sheer unaided power of God. The creative power of redemption comes through the preaching of the gospel, but never because of the personality of the preacher.

Real and effective fasting by a preacher is not fasting from food, but fasting from eloquence, from impressive diction, and from everything else that might hinder the gospel of God being presented. The preacher is there as the representative of God— “… as though God were pleading through us…” (2 Corinthians 5:20). He is there to present the gospel of God. If it is only because of my preaching that people desire to be better, they will never get close to Jesus Christ. Anything that flatters me in my preaching of the gospel will result in making me a traitor to Jesus, and I prevent the creative power of His redemption from doing its work.

“And I, if I am lifted up…, will draw all peoples to Myself” (John 12:32).

Nagaland salaries bill 2016: A bill of betrayal

T

he 12th Session of NLA (Nagaland Legislative assembly) which was held from 12-14 July 2016 in Kohima will forever go down in history of Nagaland as the most unethical, painful and ugly act of betrayal for the surviving Ex Interim body members(ExIBM’s) by the current NFP government under the leadership of T.R Zeliang. The Bill known as the Nagaland salaries, allowances and other facilities of the Chief Minister, other ministers, speakers, leader of opposition, deputy speaker, other members of NLA, parliamentary secretaries and pension for the ex-MLAs, Fifth Amendment Bill 2016, in short known as the Nagaland salaries Bill 2016, which was passed in 14th July 2016, increased the salaries and pension of chief minister, other ministers, speakers, leader of opposition, deputy speaker, their members of the Nagaland legislative assembly/parliamentary secretaries and ex-members but the pension of Eight surviving IBM’s who also come under ex-members were withheld from increment. The Nagaland salaries Bill 2016 has clearly isolated the surviving interim body members and made them forfeit the right due to them. Truly the Nagaland Salary Bill 2016 is a bill of Betrayal.

It must have been a heart breaking news for the surviving Interim body members to learn that all surviving Ex MLA’s pension were to be increased from 25,000 to 50,000 but the ExIBM’s pension amount were to remained the same without any increment.

The reason for the non increment of the surviving Ex IBMS Pension appeared on Nagaland post dated Thursday the 14th July on page 5, under the heading “Two bills likely to be passed Today”, where the NLA speaker Chotissuh Sazo Causally mentioned that the ex IBMs pension would not be raised because it was raised two years ago. He is not even sure if there are six or seven IBM’s alive.

First there are seven surviving Interim body member. For the kind information of the public and the NLA speaker the Name of the seven surviving Interim body member in alphaphtecal order are Hepong Phom, Lothi Rengma (apologies if spelled wrong), Dr.S.C.Jamir, Tokheho Sema, T.Kikon, Kophen Yimchunger((apologies if spelled wrong), Louchakai Kuki (apologies if spelled wrong). Secondly, our NLA speaker must know that the pension of the surviving Ex IBM’s which was raised two years in Dec 2013 from 25,000 to 50,000 was done on special case in commemoration of 50 Years of Statehood. Truth be told the Surviving Ex IBM’s (Excluding Dr.S.C.Jamir) had to laterally beg the State government to the rise their pension from Rs25000 toRs50000 during the 50th Anniversary of Nagaland statehood through a memorandum Submitted to former Chief minister and the Governor of Nagaland.

I am sure the speaker and the present chief minster know this fact well. The state Government never came forward with the offer to raise their pension of

ExIBM’s, the ExIBM’s went asking and begging for it. Therefore the increment of Rs25,000 done two years ago for the surviving Interim body members do not in any way disqualify them from receiving the Rs 25000 increment as per the Nagaland salaries Bill 2016. Therefore the Speaker’s lame excuse that the Surviving Interim body members do not qualify for the Rs.25,000 pension increment as per the Nagaland salary Bill 2016 is absolute nonsense. The Surviving Interim body members have the full right to Rs.25000 increments. It’s a shame to know that Nagaland Sate could be the only state in the whole world where the state founders have to beg for their pension increment. What a great example of Christian State. Bravo NPF government. The Nagaland Legislative assembly deciding not to raise the pension the pension of the ExIBM is liken to a group of villager’s butchering a pig.

When distributing the meat the village youths tells the village founders that they won’t get their share of meat because two year back they received their share of meat. If we cannot imagine such thing happening In a village. How can such thing happen in a Christian State Assembly where the all legislators are educated?

The Interim body members (IBM) were the founders of Nagaland State.

There were more than 40 IBM’s before the Nagaland became a State.

Some were elected in 1961 some in 1962. P.Shilu Ao, Kheloshe Sema and Dr.Imkongleba Ao are few of the popularly know IBMs. The Interim body members suffered untold persecution from the undergrounds. Some were even shot death like Dr.Imkongleba Ao and Buthing Phom. Out of more than 40 IBM’s today there are only seven alive. Ex IBM’s are also considered as Ex MLA. It is because of the Scarifies made by the IBM’s today we have a State called Nagaland. There would have been no Governor/Chief Minster/ speaker/MLA/Minister/Chief Secretary/Secretary/Deputy speaker, not even single Govt departments. All the Government employees from the highest position to the work charge employees owe their regard to God for the sacrifices of Interim body members. Some of the master piece work of the ExIBms are the enactment of Article 371 A, the practice of Naga costumery rights and Nagaland being under external affairs.

One cannot even imagine that today these surviving Ex IBMs are denied the right for their pension enhancement after sacrificing so much for Statehood. The same Legislative assembly which the Ex IBMs scarified their lives to establish betrays them in the most inhuman way as possible.

The Nagaland salary Bill 2016 which was passed clearly shows that the current NPF government and its legislators have no regards for the surviving seven Ex IBM’s. The NPF government has shown its true color.

If the current NFP government has no regard and treats their fellow senior colleges ( ExIBM’s) with no respect who

Not paying tax to IM ‘a great sin’

I

t pricked my conscience to read the assertion of Qhevihe Chishi Swu, Convenor, Steering Committee, IM, that “it is a great sin to not pay tax to IM”.

Well to begin with, let us be reminded of the scripture when Jesus explained, give to Caeser what is Caeser’s and to God what belongs to God. Does Q. Chishi intend to say that IM is either Caeser or God that Naga people must pay them tax obligingly without question or else a great sin is being committed?

The present Naga society reeling under the burden of excessive taxations by various Naga underground groups alongside every day corruptions in public office especially in Nagaland state which is considered as one of the most corrupted state in India.

At the juncture where the mass revolt is churning against Naga UGs and the genuine Naga struggle for sovereignty is on the verge of getting repudiated by our own people solely for reasons of coercive taxations, materialistic pursuits, greed and highhandedness of the Naga armed groups, the statement of Q.Chishi rather comes as another self-righteous authoritarian imposition on the people instead of finding appropriate means and ways to alleviate the mass sufferings and to co-relate with the people.

Multiple Taxation by Underground groupsBesides using Gun barrel to enforce taxation, the manipulative modus-operandi of imposing multiple taxes on a particular commodity do causes unprecedented market inflation. Monopoly of market by owning wholesales and dealerships, fixing and re-fixing of prices at their conveniences, imposition of entry and exit taxations on every goods carriages all over the state apart from taxing goods in the carriage, levying go-down (ware house) tax and finally taxing the retail shops.

A single commodity is thus taxed five to six times before it finally reaches the consumers. Tampering of price tags, adulteration of qualities and reduction of quantities (re-packing) etc all of these illicit activities are done with active collaboration of UGs who are either business partners or commissions agents of these market mafias.

Dimapur has become the breed-

ing ground of these anti-people practices where almost all the supplies of the state are brought in, stocked and distributed to various districts.

Similarly it must be revealed that while other groups reasonably accepts whatever bargain the contractors/ suppliers and State Government offices offers, however, it is the standing Ahza of IM that their share is always rigidly non-negotiable as per the higher directive. Is that how you work for your own people always enforcing your own group’s interest without bothering to understand the plight of the innocent Naga victims?. Can’t you read the clear writings in the walls, the seething anger of the Nagas against your set-up?

Whose sin is greater, the sinner or the one resisting the sin? Even greater is the sin to force the people to partake in the acts of sinning along with the sinner.

The ACAUT campaign for “One Government one Tax” primarily sprang up because of the entire market monopoly and multiple taxation

by IM especially in Dimapur and it’s adverse affects on the common people, thereby affecting even the Naga government genuinely fighting the aggressor India and Myanmar for people’s sovereignty.

On the self-proclamation of IM as the only authentic political organisation of the people, let it be known that, the then undivided Nagas under NNC concurred in 1951 Plebiscite affirming the Sovereign, Independence of the Nagas as “people and nation”, hence any successive off shots that do not subscribe to this basic national principle may never claim authenticity or legitimacy over all or any section of the people.

Qhevihe Chishi must in all his sanity recall his own Ato Kilonser Th.Muivah’s declaration before the Nagas that Sovereignty and Integration is impossible in the present scheme of things. Therefore, rather than hypocritically attempting to impose self-acclaimed legitimacy devoid of popular mass mandate and to autocratically enforce it’s tax regime on the Nagas, it must be incumbent of them to seek people’s support to bring about logical conclusion to their festering secretive peace talks with GOI although without Sovereignty.

I

gave everything for the founding of statehood, how do you think the current NPF government will treat the ordinary public like us? The Nagaland salaries Bill 2016 is pregnant with a cursed. Whoever benefits from this bill is cursed too. The amount of pain and disrespect mended to the IBM’s will translated to curse. The surviving ExIBM’s are very old and may not be in position (Physically incapable) to fight for their right. But the Lord will avenge on their behalf. No Bill should treat people unequally. Nagaland State a Christian Sate should know best.

The Governor of Nagaland should not give his assent to the Nagaland salaries Bill 2016 even if passed by the State legislative Assembly. I believe the Governor being a senior and a wise citizen would understand and see the injustice done to the seven Ex IBMs. The Governor should send the Bill back for reconsideration and include the Eight Surviving Interim body members as benifisheris too. If our Nagaland State legislators has even an ounce of respect for the surviving and non-surviving Interim Body members and If Nagaland state would hate to be referred by the world as the only state which has no regard for their state founder. It must reconsider the Nagaland salaries Bill 2016. A new amendment should be added where the Surviving ExIBM’s Pension is increased by Rs 25,000/- just as the other Ex MLA’s been increased

by Rs 25,000/.

There are “only seven” not “seven hundred” Surviving Interim body member. Why can’t Nagaland state provide the pension enchainment for just seven Surviving Interim Body Members? What has the State government given the ExIBM’s other than their pension? Now even this pension enhancement is been denied to them. This is unbelievable. It is sad to see that the Ex IBM’s had to live to see this day of betrayal.

The curse of sending the seven surviving Interim body members to grave in sorrow and betrayal will be unbearable.

I pray the Governor and the state legislators would reconsider the Nagaland salaries Bill Fifth Amendment 2016. I hope the State government would restore the smiles on the old wrinkled faces of the surviving ExIBM’s. The legislators of NAGALAND should never forget the Ex IBM’s (living and the dead) who planted the tree (Nagaland Statehood) from which today were all enjoying its fruits in abundance. Refusing to increase their pension would be like eating the fruit planted by Ex IBMS’s and spiting on their faces with the waste.

Today while hundreds of surviving Ex MLA’s will be raising their glasses to celebrate their pension enhancement, the eight surviving ExIBMs will be going to bed with a knife stabbed to their heart, hoping and praying to God that someone somewhere might understand their pain and make things right. What is becoming of my beloved Nagaland?

Is there no decency left in our Naga Legislators?

Imlisanen Phom, Dimapur

My personal observations on two issues raised by R.N. Ravi

I

t is neither necessary nor am I interested to react to every point of responses to questions by the Interlocutor Sri. R. N. Ravi which was published by Nagalabd Post dated 15.7.2016. Yet, just for academic interest, I am reacting to few issues which I considered to be contentious in nature.

The first is about ‘separate Passport’ or Naga Passport. My personal knowledge on the Identity Card (ID) called Passport and its implications are limited. What I know about the Passport is that the National Identity Card of a person belonging to that Nation.

A citizen of a Nation possesses other indigenous ID cards like PAN Card, Voter Card, Adhar Card or Driving Licence issued by any competent authority is for validation of his/her identity as the bona fide inhabitant of a State in India. These ID cards are for the exclusive use within one’s own State or in the country. Any of these ID cards are not legal enough for identification of one’s nationality outside the country, India. Whereas, the Passport is the nationality identification card exclusively for International purposes. The Passport is the only international legal ID of a person.

And only a sovereign Nation has the legal authority to issue Passport to its citizens. And each sovereign Nation recognizes the Passport of a citizen from another sovereign Nation. On the basis of the validity of Passport of a visitor, the permission of a country to which the visitor intends to visit called Visa is issued. An Indian cannot use the Passport of Pakistan or Bangladesh for the purpose of foreign visits which is a very serious international offense punishable under law.

I heard about people being imprisoned for abuse of Passport.

The ‘separate passport’ meaning Naga Passport used to figure as one of the supposed demands of NSCN(M) in local media. My understanding of Naga Passport is this: Sovereignty has been the aspiration of the Nagas over the last 87 years since representation to Simon Commission in 1929.

Nevertheless, Nagas have been subjugated to Indian sovereignty all these years. The Naga nation is yet to be a sovereign nation no matter whatever rights we have.

Reiterating what I have written earlier, an aspirant nation becomes sovereign only when some other sovereign nations do publicly recognize that nation as sovereign.

Under the given circumstances, the Naga passport, if at all granted

by India, will become controversial for the fact that other nations will not entertain Naga passport.

In other words, no country will

grant Visa in favour of the Naga Passport holder. If my understanding of the matter is valid, what is the point for anybody to give so much importance to what is not practical. The second is the equally much talked about ‘shared sovereignty’. When Nagaland Post correspondent questioned Ravi on this aspect, the Interlocutor said ‘There is no question of Nagas giving up sovereignty. Nagas are not colonized people’. Is Ravi encouraging the aspiration of the Nagas for sovereignty? If so, thank you. Or does it mean that Nagas cannot be prevented from having the aspiration for sovereignty? Or does it mean Nagas should feel satisfied in sharing the sovereign power of India? ‘Sharing sovereign power means sharing the spectrum of powers between the government of India and the Nagas’ as quoted from Post dated 15.7.2016. To my understanding of the comment, it is farcically evasive. As for a highly intelligent, shrewd and experienced retired officer like Ravi, how and why could he coined the answer ambiguously? An ordinary man like myself understand that two sovereign nations do not share one sovereignty. Also, a community of people under a sovereign nation never becomes a sovereign entity nor can it become equals.

Without a separate constitution of its own, without an Independent government of its own and without a definite territory of its own no community becomes sovereign.

Instead of soft peddling with the issue, Ravi should have said that granting sovereignty to Nagas is not negotiable, and yet as it is Nagas have been sharing Indian sovereignty under the arrangement of Statehood as for the Nagas of Nagaland, and other Nagas in others States can be given the status of Autonomous District Council would have been more transparent. Nevertheless, in the first place I do not blame Ravi for being evasive. The internal discord of the Nagas is the opportunity for Ravi to ill-treat and undermine the Nagas. See the double talk of India’s representatives in handling the Naga cause. When they go to visit Manipur, Assam or Arunachal they used to assure each of them that their territorial integrity will be protected. Whereas, when they come to Nagaland they prefer to remain silent as though giving hope to Nagas for integration.

The 18 months was the initial time frame given by BJP Govt. in Delhi, and now Ravi backtracked saying ‘laying down a definite time frame would be unrealistic’. This being the attitude of the GOI towards us, it is time for the Nagas to realize the peril of our differences.

n search for world peace, prosperity, better international ties and relations with a mashing up of uncontrolled human strife and wartime-like milieu; terrorists and anti-human agents playing their dirty role with the breakdown of political instability all around the globe, people are confused where humanity is headed. Death, poverty and other poignant issues are not anymore new to our ears or eyes as it very less pricks our consciences. We callously ignore them with unsympathetic heart that all these things will go on as it is. In greed, lust, hate and wantonness, humanity has lost the capacity to love. The blindness of ignorance and indifference toward our fellow humans reveals the total depraved state of the fallen adamic race.

There is a bankruptcy of love in this world and the question remains whether humans can do anything to recover from the fate we’ve built with our own hands. Do we pessimistically live the here and now waiting for that final glorious redemption? Or do we roll up our sleeves and do something about it? Is there a thing that the world is crying out to? The world is crying out for something greater, better and transcendent virtues. It is something that is otherworldly and can only be unpacked in the realm of deeper spiritual entity.

The world is not in need of more riches, wisdom, skills, resources or power. Wealth has corroded human to imbecility, wisdom has puffed up pride in humans resulting in his own destruction, powers and resources have only built walls between human. Even after all these millennia of searching and groping, humans still doesn’t come to grip with the simple fact that love is all we hunger for. As Benjamin Disraeli observed, “We are all born for love. It is the principle of existence, and its only end.” Without love, the obliteration of human race is right at the door. The feelings of insecurity, fear, distrust, temperaments, anger, revenge and un-forgiveness is wheeling the whole world into an abyss of doom and gloom. Only love can come to the rescue. Love the supreme ethic of all morality. The world is dying for love. What love are we talking here? It’s the celestial love! Human love most of times is purely selfish and i-focused. It seeks

one’s own good but the divine love is what the world yearns for. The kind of love that is willing to give up and sacrifice uncompromisingly. The love that is less natural and that surpasses knowledge and faith, pure and holy blazing with the heavenly flame of doing the will of God. The world indeed exists on love.

Look at a mother caring for her young ones, feeding and nurturing them to grow up to adulthood. What compels them to do that? Is that naturally inherent bequeathed by the process of time plus matter plus chance? No, it’s that of divine love.

A prayer made for needy and broken world, a visit to a lonely patient, a helping hand rendered to someone in need, a word of encouragement to someone depressed and so forth. All these acts make the world a more beautiful place. And that’s what make human different from animals.

Once we fail to love, we reduce ourselves down to a baser lower primate instinct animal.

Love looks through colors, race, ethnicity, tribes, languages, groups and is not limited by walls of insincerity and uncouth mindset. It always travels beyond its intent destinations. It walks the second mile of rendering service. Love gives without setting boundaries. It is always cheerful in the happiness of others. Philosopher

Erich Fromm writes, “Love is the most powerful striving in man. It is the most fundamental passion, it is the force which keeps the human race together, the clan, the family, society.

The failure to achieve it means insanity or destruction-self-destruction or the destruction of others. Without love, humanity could not exist for a day.” What a statement in the context of all the looming dangers of unending conflicts and battle in and around us!

The vacuum devoid of love within human hearts points to the fact that love is what human most need. Even the famed atheist writer Bertrand Russell confessed, “In the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined.”

The world today is in dire need of divine love. The world reconciling itself with the God of heaven through the person of Love will release the oil of healing in this world. The touch from heaven upon the earth will be felt once the God-incarnate Son inhabits the populaces with his supernatural glory and grace. So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love (1 Corinthians 13:13). Shalom to all the world!

Fuel racket; more needed to be exposed

Sir,

I want to draw your attention to the issue of fuel adulteration racket being exposed by volunteers of Against Corruption and Unabated Taxation (ACAUT) Nagaland and subsequent formation of Special Investigation Team (SIT) by the state government to probe into the whole affairs.

Whatever revelation may be found out by the SIT or any other investigation agency, it is true that the state government is solely responsible for the racket being run by a gang of unscrupulous traders at the very nose of some officials of Food and Civil Supply Department and police.

I have also doubt on the performance of SIT set-up by the government. Will SIT act as an independent authority without any outside interference in the course of its investigation to unearth the racket? Will the individuals and agencies involved in the racket will be arrested and punished according to law without manipulation of the fact findings?

Oppn to corner govt on Arunachal, Kashmir 21 killed in rain-related incidents Sparks set to fly during Monsoon Session beginning today

Narendra Modi with NCP Leader DP Tripathi and CPI leader D Raja after the all-party meeting on Sunday. (PTI)

above everything else, sources said. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar told reporters after the two-hour meeting that Parliament was a “mahapanchayat” where all issues could be raised. He said the government will talk to all parties to evolve a consensus on the GST. “Our legislative business, including GST, is a priority.

We want to see to that we pass the GST bill with consensus.

We are going to take every party on board,” he said.

Kumar downplayed the attacks of Congress, the Left and some other parties on the government over the Arunachal issue, saying different issues can be debated.

“We have assured all parties that there will be openmindedness and we are ready to discuss all issues,” he said.

Speaking to reporters, Azad accused the government of “using all tricks” to destabilise opposition-ruled governments and took potshots at Modi over his talk of cooperation between the

Centre and states by pointing out that even a BJP ally like Akali Dal has attacked it over “undermining” states.

Though he did not refer to GST directly, he said the Congress will offer support to bills on merit. “We have not taken any decision that we have to stop a bill. We will support on merit. We will support any bill which is in support of people, progress and growth,” he said.

Addressing the meeting, Modi said important bills, including the GST, are to be taken up during the session and expressed the hope that there would be meaningful discussions and outcomes, officials said.

Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia played down the talks between his party and the government to break the impasse over the long-pending GST bill and said they wanted the government to share with them a written draft over the demands made by the party.

“We can give a response only after we receive a written draft from the government,” he said as he rejected the contention that the Congress was blocking the bill, saying GST was “a baby given birth” by

his party. He also referred to the Kairana issue, suggesting that it was aimed at stoking communal tension and said his party will take it up during the session.

CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury said BJP and Congress were indulging in “match-fixing” on the GST issue and asked the government to follow the parliamentary spirit as Atal Bihari Vajpayee dispensation did and consult all parties.

He and Naresh Agrawal of Samajwadi Party demanded an all- party meeting over the GST bill with the SP leader saying his party may oppose the bill if it is not consulted.

Union ministers Rajnath Singh, Arun Jaitely besides Kumar were among 45 leaders from 30 parties who attended the meeting. Taking a dig at Modi over his call for cooperation between the Centre and states at the Inter-State Council meeting yesterday, Ghulam Nabi Azad accused the government of using its “power” to engineer “defections” to topple Congress governments in two states and how the Supreme Court orders nullified them.

COUNTRY WIDE REPORT

NEW DELHI, JUL 17 (PTI): The Opposition would seek to corner the government for its “attempts to destabilise” states ruled by it and the Kashmir unrest in Parliament, but also offer “merit-based” support to measures like the GST Bill which Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said was of “national importance”.

At an all-party meeting here a day ahead of the Monsoon Session from tomorrow, leaders of several opposition parties spoke of developments in Arunachal Pradesh and

Uttarakhand signalling their intent to train guns on the government, with Leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad saying the states no longer trusted the BJP-led government at the Centre.

Modi, who joined the meeting later, thanked all parties for “speaking in one voice” on the developments in Kashmir and sought their support in the passage of the GST bill, saying it was of “national importance” and urging them to keep national interests

Govt reworks bill on judges’ accountability

Visitors to Rome for Teresa No leniency for the unprofessional First e-court in Hyderabad HC sainthood to get taste of Kolkata conduct of lawyers: Chief Justice

NEW DELHI, JUL 17 (PTI): Narendra Modi government is planning to revive a UPA bill, which sought to put in place a system to probe complaints against judges of the Supreme Court and the high courts, after adding a new clause to assess the performance of members of the higher judiciary.

The Judicial Standards and Accountability Bill was brought by the previous UPA government but had lapsed following the dissolution of the 15th Lok Sabha in 2014. Now the government wants to bring afresh the legislation with certain changes. The framework of the new bill had come up for discussion at a meeting of the Advisory Council of the National Mission for Justice Delivery and Legal Reforms here in February. It was felt that the scope of judicial accountability in the country was being confined to the issues relating to judicial ethics and judicial misconduct. If India follows the framework of court excellence, it may widen the scope and bring in the issues of “efficiency and transparency” in the country’s legal processes, officials had said at the meeting.

The Law Ministry has now referred the issue of ‘development and enforcement of performance standards to enhance accountability of higher judiciary in India’ to a Delhi-based think tank on legal research for examination. The report of the think tank will be used while discussing the issue of “performance indicator” in the higher judiciary when the bill comes up for wider consultations, sources in the government said.

KOLKATA, JUL 17 (PTI): When lakhs of people will gather in Vatican City this September to watch the historic ceremony of granting sainthood to Mother Teresa, a group of Kolkatans will hold photo exhibitions in Rome inviting visitors to the city where the late nun worked.

Using the power of images, music and verbal discussions, internationally acclaimed photographer Kounteya Sinha and his team of volunteers will hold exhibits at 11 places in Rome and the Vatican City, as part of their two week-long civilian movement called ‘The Sainthood Project’. “The Mother used to work in slums of Kolkata.

If she could, then why can’t we walk around potholes and slum areas where there is gutter? We want people from all over the world to come and see Kolkata where the Mother worked all her life,” Sinha told PTI. The Kolkata-born ace lensman, who has lived in London for many years, said hardly one per cent of those who will be coming to see the canonisation ceremony know about Kolkata where the Roman Catholic nun spent 45 years serving the poor and sick on the streets. He plans to present a collection of 50 shots of the city by hanging

it using clips on a rope and display it in roadsides where volunteers will hold the two ends of the rope. “The idea is also to break all stereotypes about the city. So we are not keeping the Victoria Memorial, Howrah Bridge or the British architectural beauty of the city,” he said. They are promoting small localities like Kumartoli, where potters make clay idols of Goddesses Durga and Kali, the flower market, Sonagachi (Asia’s largest red-light area), the numerous lanes and and slums of the city in which Mother Teresa and her Missionaries of Charity worked.

During the open-air roadside exhibition, young lawyer Amlan Guha, also an amateur musician, will play 15 new tracks on the streets of Rome to glorify Kolkata.

Surasree Seal, a young photographer from Government Art College here, will document the whole journey.

“We want the world to come to Kolkata and see it, feel its pulse, embrace its warmth, communicate with its ever so charming people, eat its finger licking food, walk through its clean and dirty streets, sit and have a meal with those who live in the slums and above all walk the same roads that Mother Teresa once did,” the young team said.

TNWF backs August 3 framework ...

(From p-1) While acknowledge and appreciating the Naga people’s support to the cause and the mandate given to the NSCN on the 4th Naga People’s Consultative meeting 2005 at Hebron and several other Consultative Meets, the forum has resolved to “mobilize and counter effectively those anti-solution, self destructive and self defeating elements and get prepare for safe landing of the final solution”.

In this regard, TNWF has appealed to all the beloved citizens to give concerted effort in reconciliation and healing process and get on board for solution. “We pledge not to fail in our time”, TNWF said.

RANCHI, JUL 17 (PTI): Chief Justice of India (CJI) Justice TS Thakur Sunday said that there should be no room for leniency for unprofessional conduct in legal profession.

Delivering the key note address at a national seminar on continuing legal education and its benefits at the Jharkhand Judicial Academy, here, he called upon the lawyers’ fraternity to take stern action against those involved in unprofessional conduct in the profession.

Justice Thakur said “what do we do in such cases? Suspend them for six months or one year. But we have to be ruthless, throw them out, don’t allow them to practice. One such black sheep brings disrepute to the entire profession.”

He said while quality legal education was required, it was also equally important to see how strict the system was with those involved in unprofessional conduct.

Besides, he also asked the lawyers to remain updated through constant education

and training in the wake of the possibility of foreign law firms likely to be allowed entry into the country.

Advocating the need for regulated entry into the profession of lawyers, Justice Thakur said “there could well be around 20 million lawyers in the country. The question is how many do we really need.

“Can we accommodate them all? Lack of jobs and engagement for so many people entering the profession lead to malpractice.

“Some depend on becoming oath commissioners, others try to sustain themselves by becoming notaries.

Some look for bail matters.

“And still others indulge in all sorts of brokering and other malpractice. Being a law graduate is one thing.

But there needs to be some regulation and training before one could make entry as a professional lawyer.”

On a lighter note, the CJI asked as to why lawyers fared poorly in the ‘marriage market’.

“Engineers, doctors and

The toll in the spurious liquor tragedy here today climbed to 24, even as the main accused was arrested and 11 officials from excise department and police have been suspended.

While 14 persons died yesterday, the fresh casualties were reported overnight from Etah and Farukhabad, officials said. “Twenty one persons have died so far in the liquor tragedy in Etah,” District Magistrate Ajay Yadav said. In Farukhabad, Sub Divisional Magistrate of

three persons, who had consumed liquor in Etah, died in the district. The main accused Sripal was arrested from Nayagaon area in Etah last night, SP Ajay Shankar Rai said. The incident occurred late on Friday, when several people from Luhari Darwaja and adjacent Laukhera village consumed the spurious liquor and were taken ill.

Five government employees, including three from the excise department, have been suspended following the

Singhal directed Principal Secretary (Excise) and Principal Secretary (Home) to take action against officials found guilty of dereliction of duty.

“Such vituperative attack which has in effect the hostile undermining or tending to undermine the public confidence in the judiciary of the state should not be allowed to recklessly travel beyond the contours of a dignified and constructive criticism of judicial institutions and its functioning”, the advocate said.

While appreciating and supporting the good cause taken up by ACAUT, the advocate urged individuals and organizations to conduct themselves diligently within the permissible bounds of law and to detest from circulating news items which are not only contumacious but demeaning to the state judiciary as a whole.

are also probing as what prompted and incited him to raise pro-Pakistan slogans, Hussain said.

Police in its probe have so far not found any evidence vis-a-vis his (Tausif ’s) involvement in any terrorrelated activities, he said.

Tausif ’s bank account is being scrutinised to ascertain whether or not he received any funds from foreign or criminal organisations.

Tausif, who is a resident of Makya village under Benipatti police station area of the district, is a student of BA in a Darbhanga College and has seven brothers, the SP said, adding that he is associated with a religious outfit ‘Popular Front of India’.

The march was taken out from Science College, Patna and some people present in the rally raised pro-Pakistan slogans, police said.

The footage of the march telecast by a few TV news channels showed protestors under the banner of ‘Popular Front of India’ demanding Bihar government to intervene and speak to the Centre on Zakir Naik issue.

Patna police swung into action immediately after the developments and made the arrest.

It’s extremely user friendly. I will encourage all judges to try it,” he said “During this coming week I am going to try and introduce this in Supreme Court as well. If it happens in the Supreme Court, you (Telangana and Andhra Pradesh high court) can take all credit for it,” he said.

Stating that technology today is much better, he exuded confidence that all judges will be able to use it easily. He hoped that there will be more e-courts in near future. Justice Lokur said a huge amount of progress has been made in this high court over couple of years due to the keen interest taken by the chief justice.

“Things dramatically changed over last 3 or 4 years.

The team effort led to this change. The e-committee trying to supplement this team effort,” he added. He said the purpose of e-courts was to ensure speedy justice for the litigants. He stressed the need to appoint staff for paperless courts and advised judges to focus on online data entry.

High court incharge Chief Justice Dilip B. Bhosale, judges of the high court and senior officials were present.

Police ascertaining Tausif’s antecedents: SP MADHUBANI (BIHAR), JUL 17 (PTI): CID and Bihar police are investigating the antecedents of Mohammad Tausif who was arrested from the state capital for allegedly raising pro-Pakistan slogans.

Tausif was arrested on Saturday for allegedly raising pro-Pakistan slogans during a protest march, on Friday in Patna, in support of AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi and controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik.

Superintendent of Police Akhtar Hussain said a police team has gone to Tausif ’s native village Makya yesterday evening to inquire about him, his family and his activities.

A police team headed by Benipatti SHO Mohammad Anish had gone to the area.

Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Manu Maharaj had yesterday SAID that one person identified as Tausif was arrested in connection with the rally.

Police and CID are examining who all are visiting his house and from where they belong, the SP said, adding that it is also being probed whether any of Tausif ’s relatives lived in foreign countries or not.

Besides, the police team

IAS are in great demand because it is not easy become one. But anybody can become a lawyer... that is why they don’t get good market,” he said.

He also called upon the young lawyers to be prepared for the times to come.

“We are in a globalised world. If you are not update, if your service is poor, you will simply disappear.

“What happened to the small shopkeepers in the face of malls? They disappeared.

Therefore, you have to constantly upgrade yourself,” he said.

The CJI also said that today’s litigants have higher expectations from the lawyers on several counts.

“Gone are the times, when the lawyer would argue in English and the litigant only knew whether he won or lost the case.

“Today, they are aware of how you present the facts, how you are arguing, they will know whether the judge respects you. And, they are not willing to wait for 20 years,” said the CJI.

H Y D E R A BA D, J U L 1 7 (IANS): India’s first e-court was Sunday opened at High Court of Judicature at Hyderabad, which is the common high court for the states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Inaugurating the e-court, Supreme Court judge Justice Madan B. Lokur said Telangana and Andhra Pradesh were first two states in the country to be chosen for Integrated Criminal Justice System (ICJS) project.

While noting that the two states made lot of progress in technology, he said it was one of the reasons for the decision to launch the ICJS, a “system which is going to integrate police stations with the courts, with jails, with the prosecution and with the forensic science laboratories”.

Justice Lokur, who heads the e-Committee of the Supreme Court, said modalities of the system will be worked out at a meeting scheduled on July 28, and he was impressed with the e-court at Hyderabad High Court. “It is not only the e-court in the sense it is fully computerised but it also a paperless court. We spent few minutes understanding the system and I tried my hand at using the technology.

Through this portal all the government departments and ministries can procure goods, she said adding “the prices are going to be there, it is for you to say how many units you want”.

The minister said this is just a beginning and many more things are in the offing.

“It will get expanded in the longer term. By March next year, we want it to make it comprehensive. So this is one way to make government procurement absolutely transparent,” she added.

The DGS&D has asked the departments that for the success of the marketplace, it is necessary to upload the demands of common user goods and services required by government buyers.

This would help aggregate demand which will lead to lower prices, better choices and faster procurement.

E-commerce is a fast growing industry in the country. According to a study, ecommerce market is likely to grow ten-fold in next five years to reach $100 billion on the back of increasing penetration of internet, smartphones and spread of digital network in rural areas.

New Delhi, Jul 17 (PTI): The Commerce Ministry has launched an e-marketplace for online purchase of goods and services by various central government ministries and departments.

The move is aimed at bringing in more transparency and streamlining the government procurement of goods and services.

The Directorate General of Supplies and Disposals (DGS&D) has developed the portal for the purpose. The department, which is under the Commerce Ministry, carries out the procurement.

“To bring in transparency, the DGS&D has worked on it very hard. The Department of Electronics and IT has also played a very big role in this.

What they have done is to start with on those regularly purchasable items which the various government departments will need. They are just putting it on their portal,” Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman told PTI. Citing an example, she said if one wants a particular specification of a computer, various brands and specifications are available at the portal with cost.

Leaders vowed to enhance inter-regional trade and investment flows as an engine of sustainable growth and deeper economic integration connectivity between Asia and Europe. In this context, they reiterated the importance of ensuring predictable and stable business environment.

The ASEM summit was the first major multilateral diplomatic gathering since the July 12 ruling by a UN-backed tribunal that struck down China’s claims of “historical rights” in the SCS on a case brought by the Philippines.

ASEM comprises of 53 entities - 51 countries from Asia and Europe and two regional bodies - the European Union and the ASEAN Secretariat.

It represents around 62.3 per cent of the world’s population, 57.2 per cent of the global GDP and almost 60 per cent of the world’s trade.

“We are encouraged that ASEM has enlarged from 26 partners to 53 over the last 20 years, and it has proven both its vitality and relevance as an important and unique platform for dialogue and cooperation between Asia and Europe.

The Indian delegation to the ASEM Summit was led by Vice President Hamid Ansari.

Other world leaders who took part in the two-day meeting included German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and European Council President Donald Tusk.

The leaders recognised that “downside risks to the global outlook persist in the context of economic and geopolitical uncertainty, continued financial volatility, global excess capacity in industrial sectors, challenges faced by commodity exporters and persistent low inflation.

Against such backdrops, the leaders reaffirmed that they stand ready to use all policy tools - monetary, fiscal and structural - individually and collectively, as necessary, to foster confidence and achieve strong, sustainable and balanced economic growth.

The leaders agreed that increased focus in ASEM activities on connectivity will contribute to the relevance of ASEM, established in 1996.

New Delhi, Jul 17 (PTI): Government today fixed Rs 3,119 per gram as the issue price for the 4th tranche of Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGB) scheme which opens for subscription tomorrow.

The government has reduced the minimum subscription denomination to 1 gm in the 4th tranche, which would be open for investment by individuals and institutional investors from July 18-22.

“To attract small investors, the minimum subscription has been reduced to 1 gm, although the maximum remains at 500 gm per person/institution,” the finance minister said in a statement.

Earlier, the minimum denomination was 5 gm.

“SGB can now be purchased from NSE and BSE, besides all Bank branches, select Post Offices and the Stock Holding Corporation of India Limited (SHCIL),” the ministry said.

The first 3 tranches had attracted an investment of Rs 1,318 crore, equivalent to 4.9 tons of gold at the then prevailing prices. With the added features, it is expected that the 4th tranche of SGB would garner much higher investment.

“This discussion (on being behind the curve) keeps going on without any economic basis. You saw the CPI numbers just last week — 5.8 per cent is the CPI inflation, our policy rate is 6.5 per cent,” he said.

Asserting that he does not “really pay attention to this kind of dialogues”, Mr. Rajan said those calling him behind the curve should explain how inflation is very low to warrant lower interest rates.

One of the biggest criticisms of Mr. Rajan’s monetary policy has been by BJP MP Subramanian Swamy, who accused him of being “mentally not fully Indian” and had sought his dismissal.

Amid unrelenting personal attacks, Mr. Rajan last month announced that he would step down at the end of his three-year tenure on September 4 and return to academia. Asked what message he would like to give to his successor, Mr. Rajan said, “Wait for monetary policy.”

New Delhi, Jul 17 (PTI): Taking his critics head-on, RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan has challenged them to show how inflation is “very low” before accusing him of “being behind the curve” in his focus on containing price rise than on growth and debunked such criticism as mere ‘dialogues’.

Mr. Rajan, who has often been seen as being critical of the government and its policies, also said there is “lot of frustration” about the pace of economic recovery, but attributed it to the two successive droughts, weak global economy and external shocks like Brexit.

Given these constraints, performance of Indian economy has been “quite creditable” and prospects of good monsoon as well as structural reforms and macroeconomic stability will accelerate the growth going forward, he added. On GDP growth figures, the outgoing Governor said he has refrained from “thumping on the table” to put a number on GDP growth, adding people sometimes get “overly fixated with a particular growth num-

Turkey rounds up plotters after thwarting anti-Erdogan coup pursued by angry mobs.

NTV television said that 34 generals of various grades had been detained so far. They include senior figures like Erdal Ozturk, commander of the third army and the commander of the Malatya-based second army, Adem Huduti.

In an operation early Sunday, authorities detained the commander of the garrison in the western town of Denizli, Ozhan Ozbakir, along with 51 other soldiers, according to the state-run Anatolia news agency. Turkey also detained a senior air force general and other officers accused of backing the failed coup at a key air base used by US forces for raids in Syria.

Brigadier air force general Bekir Ercan Van was detained along with over a dozen lower ranking officers on Saturday at the Incirlik air force base in Turkey’s southern Adana province, newspapers including the Hurriyet daily said.

The base has become a key hub for US forces after Turkey last year agreed to allow the United States to use Incirlik to carry out lethal raids against jihadists in Syria.

The entire investigation is being led by Ankara prosecutors and those arrested are suspected of belonging to Gulen’s group, which Turkey dubs the “Fethullahci Terror Organisation (FETO)”.

Istanbul, Jul 17 (AFP): Turkish authorities rounded up dozens of senior military personnel and judges in a ruthless crackdown today, after thousands massed in the streets nationwide overnight to denounce a coup aimed at ousting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

World leaders including US President Barack Obama have strongly condemned the attempted putsch but also urged Turkey to respect the “rule of law” in its aftermath; especially after pictures emerged showing the rough treatment of some coup plotters when arrested.

According to the government, 161 civilians and regular

troops lost their lives when a group within the army sought to overthrow the authorities by seizing key strategic points in Istanbul and Ankara.

Over 100 coup plotters were also killed, the military has said.

The government has already said that almost 3,000 soldiers had been detained on suspicion of involvement in the putsch which raised fears of chaos in the strategic NATO member state of almost 80 million.

Turkish television has shown images of captured coup plotters forced to lie face down on the tarmac after arrest while AFP photographers have seen suspects roughly led away

Transgender kids in UK to be addressed as ‘zie’

Paris calls citizens to become reservists

London, Jul 17 (PTI): Britain’s boarding school teachers have been ordered to address transgender children as ‘zie’ rather than ‘he’ or ‘she’ to avoid offending them.

The official guidance issued by the UK Boarding Schools Association calls on teachers to address transgender pupils as “zie” to avoid offence, The Sunday Telegraph reported.

Paris, Jul 17 (AFP): French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve today called on citizens to become reservists and help boost security forces in the wake of the country’s latest terror attack. France’s “operational reservists” include French citizens with or without military experience as well as former soldiers.

“I want to call on all French patriots who wish to do so, to join this operational reserve,” said Cazeneuve.

His call comes after the government has been criticised for not doing more to stop attacks.

French President Francois Hollande said yesterday that reservists would be called upon to boost the ranks of police and gendarmes.

The operational reserve is currently made up of 12,000 volunteers, 9,000 of whom are within the para-

Chelsea beaten in Conte’s first game

John Obi Mikel gets physical in the battle for midfield dominance as he tries to impress new manager Conte during pre-season.

London, Jul 17 (Agencies): New head coach Antonio Conte was beaten in his first game in charge as Chelsea lost their opening pre-season friendly 2-0 against Rapid Vienna.

The Blues had completed the signing of N’Golo Kante earlier in the day, but the arrival failed to inspire anything

other than a disappointing display from his new side, who were thoroughly outplayed by their hosts.

Joelinton netted early on and substitute Tomi sealed the win to give the Austrian side a perfect lift ahead of their league opener next week.

Anti-doping bodies to seek Russia’s ban from Rio

Rio de Janeiro, Jul 17 (IANS): Brazil’s top Olympic official Carlos Nuzman has said there was no way to completely guarantee public safety during next month’s Rio Games.

But Nuzman vowed on Saturday that organisers would provide the best possible security to athletes, officials, local residents and an estimated 500,000 visitors. “We are going to have the largest Olympic security contingent ever, but we are also going to be hoping because nobody can control what is happening in the world today,” said Rio 2016 chief.

Nuzman’s comments came less than two days after 84 people were killed, including at least 10 children, when a truck ploughed through a crowd celebrating Bastille Day in the southern French city of Nice.

On Friday Brazil’s interim president Michel Temer convened an emergency meeting of his top security staff to discuss stepping up counter-terror efforts during the August 5-21 Olympics. South America’s largest country plans to deploy 85,000 soldiers and police during the Games, about double the number used in London four years ago.

Moscow, Jul 17 (IANS): At least 10 national anti-doping organisations will demand from head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach that Russia be banned from next month’s Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, according to the New York Times.

On Monday, the WADA Independent Commission led

by Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren is expected to release a report on doping manipulations at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi.

“On Saturday, at least 10 national antidoping organisations -- including those in the United States, Germany, Spain, Japan, Switzerland and Canada -- and more than 20 athlete groups representing Olympians from around the world made clear that they were preparing to request that the IOC ban Russia’s entire delegation from the Rio Olympics, if the report on Monday validates Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov’s allegations,” the newspaper wrote.

TASS learned on Saturday that US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) head Travis Tygart is set to demand from IOC President Bach that the

Conte was without a host of his star players that were involved at Euro 2016, and gave the likes of Victor Moses, Papy Djilobodji and Ruben Loftus-Cheek the chance to impress in the first 45 minutes.

Russian Olympic and Paralympic teams be suspended from taking part in the 2016 Summer Olympics starting on August 5.

The decision should be taken not later than July 26, Tygart says in his draft letter, obtained by TASS. In the meantime, Tygart says in his draft letter that McLaren’s probe has confirmed that the state has been patronising the system of doping in Russia.

The track and field athletes are currently suspended by the world athletics body from competing in global competitions.

The Russian Olympic Committee and 68 track and field athletes (including Darya Klishina) appealed to the Lausanne-based Court of Arbitration for Sport on July 3 for the cancellation of some of the criteria, which the IAAF uses to test Russian athletes.

The Court will hear the case on July 19 and will announce its decision before July 21.

However, Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko believes that about 390 athletes, including track-and-field athletes, will represent the country at the Olympics.

Hazard can reach Messi’s level: Conte

London, Jul 17 (Agencies): Antonio Conte says he can turn Chelsea’s top players into Ballon d’Or contenders if they buy into his work ethic.

Conte is determined to restore Eden Hazard to the kind of form which carried Chelsea to the Premier League title in 2015 and earned the Belgium international both big player-of-the-year awards.

And Conte’s message to Hazard and his team-mates is clear: ‘Follow me, and I can take you to Lionel Messi’s level’.

“I think Chelsea have players who can become top, top, top players,” said Conte, quoted in several Sunday newspapers. “I think that these players can still improve a lot with work. We have players, fantastic players, who have great talent but in this moment the world doesn’t think they are the same level as Messi, Luis Suarez, Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo or Paul Pogba.”

“But I think that in our squad there are players who, with work, can improve a lot and reach this level. I’m sure about this. It’s important the players understand this. There is the ability to work, to prove and to show that, now I am a top player, but I want to become top, top, top player and I want to stay there.”

“This is important. The

They were soon behind, however, thanks to a lovely team goal by Rapid Vienna who were playing in their new stadium for the first time.

Brazilian striker Joelinton found the back of the net after eight minutes, playing a one-two before rounding Asmir Begovic and slotting home.

The goal did little to wake up Chelsea, despite the animated presence of Conte on the touchline, and it was the home side who had the better of the chances to double their lead.

Captain Maximilian Hofmann went closest after 36 minutes, but he could only poke wide from close range after being played into the box

by Louis Schaub.

Chelsea brightened up after the break, as Conte threw on Oscar and Ola Aina in place of Loftus-Cheek and Baba Rahman, but they failed to create any clear-cut chances until Diego Costa nodded over from Djilobodji’s ball in after 65 minutes.

In the end, it was Rapid who scored again as Branislav Ivanovic’s error allowed them in before Tomi poked home from close range after Begovic had palmed the ball into his path.

New Delhi, Jul 17 (PTI): Indian boxing’s administrative logjam is likely to end only after next month’s Olympics with the stakeholders pushing back the much-awaited elections for the Boxing Federation of India to September, a move that has been cleared by the world body as well. “It has been decided that it would be better to for the elections after the Olympics and this has been intimated to the International Boxing Association (AIBA), which is fine with the decision,” Asit Banerjee, who will now head the proposed Boxing Federation of India’s Executive Board assigned the task of conducting the elections, told PTI today.

Headed by Banerjee, the Board has Jay Kowli as vice-President and 23 representatives from various state units.

“We are targetting elections in the third week of September and the AIBA has said it is fine with any date after the second week of September.

The venue could be any big city like Delhi, Mumbai or even Kolkata and the election would be followed by the National Youth Championships in,” he added. India have been without a national federation for more than a year now after Boxing India was terminated following a rebellion by the state units.

Wilder retains WBC heavyweight title

The Great India 4th KSC football tourney underway Run flagged off

BIRMINGHAM, Jul 17 (Agencies): Despite fighting mostly one-armed for half the fight, Deontay Wilder remained in control in the ring before quickly heading to the hospital. Wilder retained his WBC heavyweight title with a technical knockout when Chris Arreola’s corner stopped the fight after the eighth round.

Arreola’s left eye appeared swollen shut. An injured Wilder knocked down Arreola in the fourth and peppered him with left jabs and hooks after landing hard rights early.

Promoter Lou DiBella said Wilder was taken to nearby UAB Hospital after a doctor confirmed he had a broken right hand and a probable distal tear in that biceps. Even hurting, Wilder didn’t lose his bravado. Before leaving the ring, he was talking about wanting to fight the winner of the upcoming Wladimir KlitschkoTyson Fury fight or Anthony Joshua. “My goal is to unify the division,” said Wilder. I came a long way. So whoever’s got those belts, that’s who I want.

It don’t matter if I got a broke hand, got a torn muscle, I’m going to fight like heavyweight champions do. Of course I want the Furys, of course I want the Joshuas but the question is, do they want me?”

Eden Hazard mentality is important. The heart is important, patience and the will to improve is very important and in this case it’s important for the manager to take the best players and try to improve them.”

Hazard did not score a league goal last season until April 23, his slump in form the most dramatic individual expression of a decline which saw Chelsea finish 10th - 31 points behind Leicester - and cost Jose Mourinho his job.

Also, when the season before you have won the title and Hazard has been named the best player in the league. It’s important for us to recover Hazard in the best condition: technique, tactical, physical, overall and with the good mentality.”

Davis Cup: India beat South Korea 4-1

Indian tennis team celebrates after beating Korea by 4-1 in Asia/ Oceania Group I 2nd Round of Davis Cup in Chandigarh on Sunday. (PTI) Chandigarh, Jul 17 (PTI): Not used to playing singles anymore, India’s Rohan Bopanna found rhythm in nick of time to edge past Hong Chung before Yong-Kyu Lim prevented a Korean whitewash with a gritty win over Ramkumar Ramanathan in the Davis Cup Asia\Oceania Group I tie here today.

Asked to take court in place of Saketh Myneni, who is still recovering from his gruelling match on Friday, Bopanna laboured to a 3-6 6-4 6-4 win against Chung, who

is ranked as low as 655 in the ATP rankings.

Bopanna last played a singles match in the Davis Cup in 2012 when he won the dead fifth rubber against Uzbekistan’s Sarvar Ikramov.

It was 10th singles win for Bopanna in Davis Cup today and thankfully it was a dead rubber since India had sealed tie on Saturday itself by wining the doubles.

Playing the dead fifth rubber, 217-ranked Ramkumar lost the close contest 3-6 6-4 6-7(2) in little over two

hours to Lim, who is placed 409 rungs below the Indian.

Despite losing the tie 1-4 , the Koreans have to be credited for making life tough for the Indians. They were playing on an alien surface but fought their hearts out in the tie.

All Indian players performed a popular Bollywood number ‘Bayee Wah’, immediately after Lim closed the tie, much to the surprise and delight of the fans.

India will now make its third attempt to qualify for the elite 16-nation World Group.

They await the results of the World Group matches to know the rival in the play-offs to be held in September.

India last played in World Group in 2011 when it lost the first round against Serbia. After that, they have lost play-offs twice – against Serbia (in 2014, Bangalore) and Czech Republic (in 2015, New Delhi).

Army man Lim, who lost to Myneni, recovered remarkably from the spasm he suffered on Friday, and played clean tennis to beat Ramkumar.

Lim broke Ramkumar in the fourth game and served out the opening set in the ninth game in which he also saved a break chance after the Indian had saved three set points.

In the second set, Lim again had a chance to go up but the Indian saved a break chance in the seventh game to hold. The 21-year-old lad from Chennai kept fighting and finally broke Lim in the 12th to make it one-all.

Ramkumar grew in confidence and started to play much better. He broke Lim in the sixth game for a 4-2 lead but was broken while serving for the match in the ninth as he served a double fault.

That proved costly as Lim stretched it to tie-breaker in which he prevailed.

Marquez stretches lead with German MotoGP win

SACHSENRING, Jul 17 (Agencies): Spain’s Marc Marquez stretched his lead at the top of the MotoGP championship after the Honda rider roared back from a slow start off pole position to win the German Grand Prix on Sunday.

Second in testing conditions at the Sachsenring circuit, which was pounded with rain for much of the day, was Britain’s Cal Crutchlow and third Andrea Dovizioso of Italy. It was a miserable day though for Marquez’s championship rivals with Jorge Lorenzo, the reigning champ, finishing down in a lowly 15th for just a single point and Valentino Rossi eighth.

Marquez almost doubled his lead on Lorenzo as he closes in on a third title. He jumped up to 170 points overall, with his fellow Spaniard now lagging in second on 122 points. Rossi, the Italian legend, is third on 111 points, with half the races in the season now gone.

Marquez, for whom this was a seventh victory at Sachsenring, gambled with his tyres - and it paid off handsomely in the end. He came off the track at Turn 8 but was able just about to stay upright and on lap 17 he entered the pits for slicks - it was a move that would take him to the race win.

Henin, Safin ushered into Hall of Fame Mini-IPL hits major roadblock

Justine Henin

little girl of six years old that was not that big. “Being part of the history of the game, it’s much more than I could expect for as a little girl. I’m really proud, happy.”

Safin burst to prominence with a stunning straight-sets rout of Pete Sampras in the 2000 U.S. Open final and added the 2005 Australian Open crown over Lleyton Hewitt in addition to helping Russia win two Davis Cup championships.

The big Russian, known for taking his frustrations out on his rackets and tennis balls, said he felt like a kid in Disneyland in visiting the Hall of Fame museum. “This is an amazing place. You feel the power, the energy. You can see what kind of people are living here before.

You have a museum, a beautiful place,” said Safin.

“We had ups and downs, we cried, we broke the rackets, we shouted some words, we throwed the balls out of the court, we insulted the referees, only sometimes,” he continued to laughter, bringing back

memories of his fiery on-court temperament. “I’m just so pleased to be part of it. It’s a huge honour to be inducted and be part of the history.”

Mauresmo, an Australian and Wimbledon champion and first French woman to reach world number one, said joining the Hall of Fame community was a thrill.

“You feel part of a special family that have achieved special things,” she said. “It’s such a great honor, privilege.”

Henin, remembered for her all-round game and devastating one-handed backhand, said her fate was sealed at an early age. “At 10 years old I went to the French Open. It was the final between Steffi (Graf) and Monica (Seles),” recalled Henin. “I said to my mum, ‘One day I will be on this court and I will win.’ I was getting to my bedroom, I was jumping like I was winning the French Open. For me, it was clear I was going to do that. French Open and number one,” she added.

“At 21 it became real.”

no for an answer and is known for punishing member boards in the past for going against its wishes by threatening to pull out of tours and hence heaping financial loss on its counter-parts.

Hence, the opposition to a lucrative mini-IPL, one that would cater to the Indian diaspora worldwide, comes as a shock and blow to BCCI’s might.

“If true, it’s a telling sign of the reduced clout the current set of administrators (in the board) wield, unlike their predecessors.It’s also a personal embarrassment for the men running the BCCI right now,” the report quoted a source as saying.

Earlier, the September slot was occupied by the Champions League T20, a super-tournament ideologically in line with Uefa Champions League, where domestic T20 champions from different countries competed.

Berdych withdraws from Rio Olympics

Prague, Jul 17 (Agencies): Tomas Berdych is the latest high-profile tennis player to rule himself out of next month’s Olympic Games.

The world No 8, who was beaten by Andy Murray in the Wimbledon semi-finals, joins Milos Raonic and Simona Halep in withdrawing over concerns about the Zika virus. Berdych said in a statement on Twitter: “I am very sorry to announce that I will not take part in this year’s Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.”

“It was a hard decision for me to take after a long and painstaking discussion with my dearest. It’s purely my personal decision but I still

feel a need to give at least one of the serious reasons leading to this step to my supporters and fans.”

“It is because of the Zika virus spread in the country of the Olympics. As I have founded a family recently, to limit health risks towards my nearest is the utmost priority.

I apologise to all of you who are disappointed. I do believe that if you take a deeper account of my reasons you will understand that I have done it out of the responsibility for my family.”

“I wish the Czech team a big success and I hope that I will soon be honoured to defend the Czech national colours again.”

Newport, Jul 17 (Agencies): Justine Henin, a shy, petite Belgian with a fierce desire to win, and big-serving Russian Marat Safin were honored as the new inductees into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island on Saturday.

Seven-times grand slam singles winner Henin and twice grand slam champion Safin were joined in the festivities by France’s Amelie Mauresmo, who won election last year but was unable to attend induction ceremonies due to the birth of her son.

Henin, 34, the first Belgian elected to the shrine, said standing in the spotlight was difficult for her but very much appreciated as the culmination of a dream that began at age six. “Being the centre of the attention is not always the best for me,” she told reporters.

“Today is also quite emotional, not only get this honor, but also need to remember how hard was the way, but how beautiful was the way from the

New Delhi, Jul 17 (Agencies): Newly-appointed Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Anurag Thakur has stumbled upon first hurdles in his job after International Cricket Council (ICC) refused to get on board with the proposal of an overseas miniIPL, a brainchild of Thakur himself.

According to a report in Cricbuzz, BCCI’s proposal for a short version of the T20 extravaganza abroad has been opposed by Cricket Australia, West Indies Cricket Board, England Cricket Board and Cricket South Africa. The proposed mini-IPL was being planned for the empty calendar slot in September.

The ICC is currently being chaired by former BCCI president Shashank Manohar.

BCCI, known for its big brother-esque high-handedness and influence in international cricket, is not used to taking
