Correspondents

KOHIMA, JUL 17 (NPN): All the 59 legislators of Nagaland on Monday cast their votes to elect the 14th President of India here at the Nagaland Legislative Assembly secretariat annexe conference room.

Security was tight in the NLA secretariat, not for any reason but to prevent legislators from being poached by rival groups in view of the current crisis. NPF legislators and Rajya Sabha MP, in support of chief minister Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu, were the first group to cast their votes during the first hour.

Later, after a gap of few hours, the dissident group of legislators (in favour of T.R. Zeliang) came in two hired buses to cast their votes.

However, former chief minister, T.R. Zeliang came in his official vehicle.

Interestingly, during the second part of the day, some legislators were also seen outside the polling booth to ensure that none of the flocks go astray to the other side.

Earlier, the dissident legislators camped at hotel Vivor, were greeted with jeers by hundreds of NPF party men including wom-

Some of the placards read-- “honourable MLAs don’t play with people’s mandate”, “stop teaching petty politics to younger generations”, “hon’ble MLAs stop playing divisive politics”, “ stop dividing Naga society for your political gain” etc.

accompanying his cabinet colleagues who were to vote, Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu was prevented from entering his office chamber at the NLA Secretariat as the connecting gates were closed by the NLA staff.

Interacting with media persons after the presidential poll concluded at his office chamber, chief minister Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsü informed that he had officially written to the NLA Speaker Dr. Imtiwapang on Sunday about his plan to visit the NLA on Monday.

However, when he arrived at the NLA premises, Dr. Shürhozelie said the entrance gate had closed. Even when attempts were made to contact NLA officials, there was no response said the chief minister who was

kept waiting outside for as long as 15 minutes. Later when attempting to walk through the NLA secretariat corridor, Dr. Shürhozelie said someone pulled him from behind. This infuriated his PRO and on coming to know of the incident, he said the NLA Speaker apologised to him. Later, the NLA Speaker blamed the commissioner and secretary for the confusion since he (Speaker) claimed he was himself not informed about the visit.

Dr. Liezietsü also pointed out that the Assembly secretariat appointed one of the dissident MLA as the election agent for the polling without consulting or even informing the government.

He said the assembly during such occasions ought to be above party politics. The

chief minister described the MLAs holed up in Hotel Vivor as NPF members but dissidents who are runaways.

He lamented that the dissidents have run away by forgetting their duties and responsibilities and want to claim power from a distance.

Dr. Shürhozelie said that as per the desire of public and Church, the suspensions on Neiphiu Rio, T.R. Zeliang and nine others were revoked for reconciliation but instead they have spurned it.

He said the party still recognizes the dissidents as NPF members. However, if they continue to reject reconciliation and unity then the party will have to search for new candidates for the next election, he said, adding “There is a limit to everything.”

IMPHAL, Jul 17: Manipur was cut off on Monday from the rest of the country after the crucial bailey bridge across the Barak river was damaged a day after heavy landslide washed away a portion of NH-2.

According to reports, the bridge located along the NH-37 in Tamenglong was damaged on Monday morning when a 10-wheeler goods-laden truck was cross-

ing it. The structure was in a fragile condition since last night. Owing to this, around 200 Imphal-bound goodsladen trucks from Jiribam side were stranded. Authorities have taken up repairing works on war-footing.

The highway, considered as the second lifeline of the border state, assumed greater importance after a massive landslide at Viswema in Nagaland cut off the major Imphal-Dimapur national highway.

NEW DELHI, JUL 17 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday congratulated Union Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu after he was named the NDA candidate for the Vice President’s election on August 5.

“I have known Venkaiah Naidu for years. I have always admired his hard work and tenacity. (He is) a fitting candidate for the office of Vice President,” Modi tweeted. He said Naidu’s experience as Parliamentary Affairs Minister will help him discharge the important role of the Rajya Sabha Chairperson when he is elected.

BJP leader and Information and Broadcasting Minister Naidu was unanimously picked as the National Democratic Alliance nominee for Vice President’s election. Naidu will file nomination at 11 a.m. on Tuesday.

Yitachu’s statement under fire DIMAPUR, JUL 17 (NPN): NPF Legislature Party of the T.R. Zeliang camp has slammed government’s spokesperson and school education & SCERT minister, Yitachu, a day after he defended the position of the chief minister Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu by categorically making it clear dissident MLAs led by Zeliang “cannot move a noconfidence motion” against the chief minister.

NPF Legislature Party through its media cell condemned what it called the “irresponsible statement” of Yitachu and said that Yitachu while siding with Dr. Shürhozelie and his son must remember that he had extended his support “in sound mind and out of his free will” reaffirming Zeliang as leader of the NPF Legislature Party and DAN Legislature Party.

It pointed out that Zeliang was elected as Leader

of NPF Legislature Party on May 14, 2014 and Chairman, DAN on February 22, 2017. NPF legislature party said Yitachu on both occasions had voted in favour of Zeliang. It added that once signatures of majority of the MLAs in a Legislature Party meet were appended to the resolutions, it becomes the final word of the majority.

Asserting that Zeliang has been functioning both as Chairman, DAN with Cabinet status and NPF legislature party leader since then and no new person has been elected in this regard till date, the legislature party said Zeliang therefore has all the legitimacy and mandate of NPF Legislature and DAN Legislature to lead and execute all delegated authority.

Further, the legislature party alleged that Yitachu’s motive to hoodwink the people of Nagaland “for his

shameless political gains” while exerting all kinds of threats and intimidations under his “so called legal expertise” could be considered as nothing but cheap publicity gimmicks.

It said Yitachu may have fooled his Constituency people “pretending to be a top notch lawyer” but the rest of the Nagas would never buy his misleading stories.

The legislature party said Yitachu was misleading Dr. Shürhozelie by making him file nomination for the upcoming by-election. It also said Yitachu exercising his persuasive dirty tricks to table before the Governor for dissolving the Assembly was the cheapest trick of them all.

“If the Assembly is dissolved like he had suggested then which Assembly Session was Dr. Shürhozelie going to attend?” it asked.

KOHIMA, JUL 17 (NPN): Close on the heels of the Cabinet’s decision to terminate the services of MKR Pillai as consultant to DGP Nagaland, Nagaland chief minister, Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu on Monday said that the government would ask the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to probe into the case if any evidence is found against Pillai.

Talking to media persons, Dr. Liezietsu said the state government has sought a report from the Income Tax department. “If evidences are found against Pillai, the government will ask for a CBI probe,” he said. It may be mentioned that the Cabinet on July 12 had directed the government to seek a report from the IT department on Pillai’s case.

Dr. Liezietsu also reiterated that “he will not protect the corrupted officials.” “This was one of the reasons why my friends had gone against me even in this crisis,” he said. Since CBI is the only agency to correct erring things, Dr. Shürhozelie said there was no reason to be afraid of “if they are not wrong”.

Kohima, Jul 17 (NPN): After hearing both counsels for Petitioner (chief minister of Nagaland Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsü) and the Respondent No.1( NLA Speaker) on July 17, the learned Judge Justice L.S. Jamir of the Gauhati High Court Kohima Bench, has reserved judgement and order till Tuesday, July 18 at 2 p.m. Sr.Counsel of Supreme Court of India, Meenakshi Arora, appeared for the Petitioner Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsü while S.S. Dey Sr. Advocate appeared for the Respondent NLA Speaker.

Chief Minister Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsü told Nagaland Post that he was confident that the court would pass judgment on the merit of the case and in favour of his contention(s) as raised in his pliant.

Meanwhile, leader of the rebel group and former chief minister T.R. Zeliang told media persons that they will approach the Supreme Court in case of an unfavourable verdict. Zeliang said Dr. Shürhozelie should seek confidence vote to prove majority as he had done during the 2015 dissident crisis. He

however maintained that the court verdict would favour holding of floor test. On the call for reconciliation, Zeliang said the party and the legislature were different but once his faction formed the next government then, they would consider it.

Asked to explain the flip flop of first supporting the CM for his by election then going against him; Zeliang said it was Dr. Shürhozelie’s plan and the party cannot stop him since he was party president.

Asked why he could not wait for by poll results for change in leadership, Zeliang said by-election was only for one constituency and the question was about of change of leader. He said majority of legislature wanted change of leader and formation of government.

He however said the change would depend on the Governor applying Article 147 of the Constitution of India. Asked why the frequent demand for change of leadership every six or seven months, he said legislators did not want to go to the 2018 assembly election under Dr. Shürhozelie’s leadership so the demand for change of leadership.

NPCC censures Gov for ‘partisan attitude’ DIMAPUR, JUL 17 (NPN): Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has criticized Nagaland Governor, P.B. Acharya for his “partisan attitude” by asking NPF legislators “not to break the NPF-BJP alliance” when the legislators met him recently to apprise him of the current political imbroglio .

NPCC media cell said it was unbe-

coming of a person holding the highest constitutional office in the state for making such an appeal.

NPCC said Acharya’s “RSS upbringing does not entail him to demean the office of the Governor since his partisan attitude to benefit BJP-RSS game plan in the state has been exposed more often (Cont’d on p-8) than once.”

Kiren Rijiju conveyed to the Chief Minister that Rajnath Singh had authorised him to talk to IPFT leaders staying in Delhi.

Rajnath Singh had assured Sarkar on phone on Sunday that he would look into the issue of ongoing road and rail blockade by the tribal party.

IPFT General Secretary Mevar Kumar Jamatia and the front’s youth wing President Dhananjoy Tripura have been camping in New Delhi since Thursday. The IPFT

has been agitating since 2009 for a separate state to be carved out by upgrading the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC), which has jurisdiction over two-thirds of Tripura’s 10,491 sq.km. area, housing 12,16,465 (mostly tribals) of the state’s 37-lakh population.

Most political parties, including the ruling Communist Party of IndiaMarxist, the Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party, and Indigenous Nationalist Party of Tripura have rejected the IPFT’s demand, saying it is not practical to divide the already small state.

State Congress President Birajit Sinha said on Monday that the IPFT’s separate state demand would create ethnic turmoil and communal riot in the otherwise peaceful state.

BJP leader Sunil Deodhar said on Monday that the

Shillong Jul 17: Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma on Monday hit out at the Narendra Modi-led NDA government for pursuing the agenda of the Hindu nationalist group – the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

“The Central Government was not pursuing the agenda of a political party but the agenda of the RSS. Therefore, it is the responsibility of citizens and society to understand their hidden agendas which is not acceptable to all,” he told journalists after casting his ballot in the presidential elections.

Attacking Prime Minister Modi for being bounded by RSS’ diktat, the veteran Congress legislator said, “The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh are putting their agendas in

framing the rules (Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act) and external forces are taking control of various authorities in different ministries.”

“Our personal liberty is under threat and their (RSS) agendas are being pursued by NDA Government one after another,” he said.

Terming the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh as “non-government actors”, the Meghalaya Chief Minister said, “they were not mandated to drag their agendas but now they were pulling the strings of governance from behind which is unconstitutional.”

On BJP’s is making inroads in the north-eastern states, Sangma said that the saffron party is also “piggy riding” on regional parties of the state to make inroads in Meghalaya as they want to rid the state of the Congress.

‘Black day’ protest greets Khandu on completing one year in power I tanag a r , J u l 1 7 (Agencies): The unnatural death of predecessor Kalikho Pul returned to haunt Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Pema Khandu on Monday as his government that changed three party colours completed a year in office amid a ‘black day’ protest.

The milestone is personal for Khandu, as his government wearing the Bharatiya Janata Party’s saffron has more than five months to go to complete a year. The chief minister had first headed a Congress government that switched over to the regional People’s Party of Arunachal (PPA) and then to BJP on December 31 last year.

The Mere Vichaar Andolan Committee (MVAC) on Monday observed ‘black day’ to mark Khandu’s one year in power and staged a demonstration in state capital Itanagar. The committee, named after Pul’s 60-page suicide note titled ‘Mere Vichaar’ that blamed Supreme Court judges and a few Arunachal Pradesh politicians for driving him to death, has been demanding

a probe into the events that made Pul “sacrifice” his life.

Pul was found hanging in the chief minister’s bungalow on August 9 last year.

“Even after the 2019 assembly election, July 17 will always be a Black Day and August 9 a Suicide Day for us unless Khandu and his deputy Chowna Mein quit,” MVAC convenor Kaling Tasingh said.

Khandu’s reign since July 17 last year, though, has been fairly uneventful compared to the preceding 12 months that saw power changing hands thrice with a dose of President’s Rule (PR) in between. The frontier state had been experiencing political turbulence since October 2015, when former chief minister Nabam Tuki removed Pul as finance minister. Pul mobilised the MLAs and revolted against Tuki, and the ensuing political drama led to the imposition of PR in the state on January 26 last year.

PR was lifted on February 19 to pave the way for Pul to head a rebel Congress government that wore the regional PPA colour a month later. But the Supreme Court

reinstated Tuki’s Congress government on July 13.

Tuki took over charge only to resign and make way for Khandu days later.

On Sunday, Khandu launched a campaign to root out corruption in the state by asking bureaucrats and police officers to “compulsorily sensitise people” against graft. But MVAC and another tribal organisation called Boh Ramo Bokar Elite Society said such a drive would be meaningless if Passang Dorjee Sona, an MLA in Khandu’s core group, does not clear his stand on an allegation that he had received Rs 4 crore from Pul. Sona, who is a parliamentary secretary for tourism, refuted the allegation.

“I have always maintained that I am open to investigation,” he said. Green Arunachal Foundation, another NGO, also said the Khandu government completed one year with a track record of failures, particularly in checking crimes, providing potable water and taking precautionary measures against natural disasters.

A group of Gorkha Janamukti Morcha (GJM) activists on Monday demonstrated outside the District Magistrate’s office in Darjeeling demanding access to internet, which has been banned in the region since the last one month.

“The pro-Gorkhaland rallies are being held in

Darjeeling, Kalimpong and various other places in the hills. We condemn these authoritarian steps (blocking internet) by the Bengal government,” GJM General Secretary Roshan Giri told IANS. The suspension of internet services, imposed on June 18, has been extended till July 25 by the district administration.

Giri also condemned the “extremely rude behaviour” of Trinamool Congress legislator Paresh Pal, who lashed out at GJM MLAs during the presidential polls in the state assembly.

LeT operative arrested from Mumbai Airport Mumbai/Lucknow, Jul 17 (IANS): A suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba operative, believed to be involved in the 2008 attack on a CRPF camp in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh, was nabbed from Mumbai Airport as he arrived from the UAE, an official said here on Monday.

Salim Mukim Khan was detained by the Maharashtra Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) as he arrived by an international flight at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, on Monday morning.

NEW DELHI, Jul 17 (AGENCIES): The US has not made any ‘comprehensive changes’ in its work visa programmes, including H-1B visas, so far despite India taking up the issue with the American government from time to time, Parliament was informed on Monday.

Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that the problems being faced by the IT industry have been raised by India with the US government from time to time at various levels.

India has also taken up the matter on US visa fee hike in the dispute settlement body of the World Trade Organization (WTO), she said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha.

“The US has not made any comprehensive changes to the work visa programmes including H-1B visas so far,” she said. The minister also said India has made continuous efforts to raise concerns pertaining to IT and ITeS industries in different bilateral meetings including in the Trade Policy Forum.

“They just went there to cast their votes. This is a very bad practice by Trinamool Congress. The behaviour of the leader has been extremely rude,” he alleged.

Meanwhile, incidents of violence continued in the hills as a traffic outpost in Darjeeling district’s Mirik was set ablaze allegedly by GJM supporters on Monday afternoon, police said.

A deserted office of the state electricity board in Bijanbari area was set on fire on Sunday night.

“The situation is under control so far. There have been sporadic incidents of destruction and vandalism of public property in the area.

Patrolling is on to avoid any untoward incidents,” said Darjeeling police superintendent Akhilesh Kumar Chaturvedi.

The GJM-sponsored i n d e f i n i t e s h u t d ow n , demanding a separate Gorkhaland, entered its 33rd day on Monday as the Army continued to patrol various points.

I

Opportunistic politics

f anything ,the principle of alliance as in Bihar where the Mahagathbandhan comprising of the Rashtriya Janata Dal(RJD) of Lalu, the Janata Dal United of Nitish Kumar and the Congress,had successfully combined their votes to prevent the Modi-Shah duo from taking the state. It was also a reflection of commitment to the alliance, that despite winning more seats -80 seats- the RJD backed NItish Kumar, whose party the JDU won 71 seats. Together with the Congress, which won 27 seats, the Mahagathbandan pooled 178 in a house of 243, well past the halfway mark of 122. However since November 2015 there has been a sea change today. The two “Bihari brothers”- Nitish and Lalu- who made a great show during their joint campaigns have become estranged. This came about in March 2017 when , the Supreme Court delivered a judgment, reviving criminal conspiracy charges against Lalu in pending cases in the fodder scam, rejecting his plea that he cannot be prosecuted twice for the same offence and ordering the trial court to conclude the case in a time-bound manner, in each of the five pending cases against him. Lalu has already been convicted in one case and had been sentenced to five years of imprisonment.

He is out on bail. To make matters worse, his alliance partner and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, ever since he broke ranks with the Opposition, has been urging the Centre to take action against benami properties and its holders.

The growing differences between them became evident while backing the presidential nomineeNitish extended support to NDA candidate Ram Nath Kovind, while Lalu went with UPA- backed opposition nominee for president, Meira Kumar.

By deciding to go separately Nitish Kumar has sent a very strong message about his decision to distance the JDU from the RJD. What has changed and why is Nitish Kumar edging towards BJP all of a sudden? The answer lies not only in the recent raids on the family of Lalu Prasad by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) regarding corruption and graft charges and it includes Tejashwi Yadav, Misa Bharti and Rabri Devi; but also his desire to get closer to Modi. It is around eighteen months after Nitish and Lalu buried their hatchet to form a coalition government to “save Bihar” from Modi and Shah. Nitish Kumar today feels he can dispense with the Mahagathbandhan since Lalu and family are politically embarrassing. Nitish did not find Lalu and his family an embarrassment in 2015 because he needed their help to retain power. Nitish cannot say he never heard of the fodder scam nor the alleged benami ownership of properties of the Lalu family.In that period in the run up to the November 2015 election, when he was desperately in need of a successful alliance with RJD and Congress, Nitish saw only opportunity in the alliance and could not recollect skeletons in the cupboard of the Lalu Yadav family. Nitish dumped Modi after being a close ally of the BJP for 17 long years(1996-2003).

Incidentally, Nitish did it when the UPA was on the upswing from 2004-2014). Clearly, by distancing himself from Lalu, Nitish has shown he is a shrewd opportunist who has been successful in swimming with the tide.

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).

Post-mortem

Ending Nagaland Constitutional but Undemocratic Never Political Imbroglio N W agaland has yet to, far from practicing core concept principles of democracy. The Indian Constitution through Article 371A, allow us to practice ‘Naga customary law and procedure’ and as such, certain section of village heads from certain constituency determines which among the individuals should contest in the elections. It is alleged that any aspiring candidate who fails to come to terms [Monetary/Allegiance arrangements] with the village heads, are bound to face consequences around the time of elections; allegedly vandalizing his/her [unarranged candidate’s] resources with mob power, to distort his/her movement to reach out to the voters.

Until now, the section of these alleged village heads, claiming the provision of Article 371A (1) (a) (ii), exercises this and other practices and justifies their act as constitutional, thus distorting the very fabric of our system to conduct Clean Election. However, they have to be aware of thisthat the Indian Constitution itself was framed under the principles of Secularism,

Democratic republic… to assure its people of justice, equality and liberty and to promote fraternity among them. Thus any provision to customary law, should itself have roots of democracy and other ideologies as inscribed in the Constitution.

It is also to be noted that every constitutional law exist only so to deliver the due natural justice to the people and not for sociopaths to salvage and surpass the law and justice.

Ergo, it is uncertain as to why the certain alleged village heads of a constituency choose to believe that the ‘Act’ provides them to practice illogical behaviors which could be considered as irrational and undemocratic in every sense of the term. As our democratic constitution states that any citizen who have attained the age of 25 years, is eligible to contest the election and could hold the offices.

Thus with this due clarification, it is made known to those authorities, who subscribes to the provision of Art371A (a) (ii), that as NJS chief judicial magistrate and secretary KDL-SA, Victo Sema has urged upon, during one

of the recent conduct of ‘workshop on legal activities’, to the DBs and GBs to implement customary law in uniformity, rationality and certainty- that failing to do so could invite counter on their authority as per the norms and principles of democracy, since Nagaland State itself is a creation of democratic ideology.

In the current politics of game of throne, where both faction seems to present a validate case in their pursuit for the post of CM, where one of the leader from the majority numbered legislators group have alleged that, …Dr. Shurhozelie was responsible for the present situation- if this was also to be one of the reason why the present CM has to abdicate… the question arises, since Dr. Shurhozelie was appointed as the 17th CM on 22nd Feb, 2017; whether the present situation of Nagaland started escalating since the day he was sworn in as the CM of Nagaland.

The opposing leader TR Zeliang should have to present a concrete reason as what have failed short of the present CM to continue his terms and also what makes

him the better candidate to hold the post of CM, since in a democratic nation, the people have to be assured that the mechanism of inner party conflict is also democratic. The appeal of Zeliang to direct the chief secretary not to issue appointments and payments besides (except) salaries, could be highly speculated as to what the motive is. Is it so that after he inevitably becomes the CM, he could control all the flow of the funds?

Their failure in governance should not be an obstacle to continue the flowing of central schemes, which are meant for the public. Also if the tussle seems to continue further without any bearing, then the Governor should also heed the voice of the public as what ought to be done for the state.

With the clearing of doubts about legal structures, we should aim to progress further by implementing the special provisions like the customary procedures in the right direction and even ULB, with accordance to the political climate.

WYSK to accommodate teeming youths

T

he designated occasion, “world youth skills day (WYSD)” on July 17 seemed to have passed off without much notice of the Nagaland youth, except ITIs trainees where I’ve expounded the ideal and its concept to the congregated at ITI Kohima Nagaland as per the directive of the Labor Ministry of India.

The WYSD was promulgated by the U.N. (United Nation) at its general assembly on the 18th Dec. 2014 coorganized by UNESCO & ILO (United Nations Educational, scientific & Cultural organization & International Labour Organization) Portugal and Sri Lanka as the permanent mission partner hosted the first WYSD on the designated date.

According to the latest International Labour Organization reports, there are 1.8 billion young people between the age of 10-24 years around the world mostly concentrated in underdeveloped and developing 48 countries of which 73.4 million of the world youth is unemployed because of the mismatch in the job market.

This is because despite of the huge youth population the gap of employability widen for the fact that they have no tool in their hands (Tech education) and ultimately led to stagnancy and poverty in most developing countries as to remain poorer and poorer without any gainful employment Similarly, India has its own share of 356 million youth age between 10-24 out of 1.34 billion as on 14th July 2017 as its total population, beating China whose youth population stands at 269 million in spite of the higher total population, when we have only 17.86% of the world geographical area.

Presently, 59.7 million Indians are employed under MSME (Micro, small, medium enterprises) in 26.1 million units of enterprises all over the country however sadly we Nagas could not find our foothold in this sector as well, as of today thus leading to huge armies of educated unemployed.

No wonder, industry is the backbone and growth engine of the country and uplift the socio economy but finding it unwholesomely distributed,

the Hon’ble Prime Minister has launched a project called “Make in India” in 2014 with windows for technical education and financial supports to the deserving technical and professional candidate with loan and subsidy components.

Invariably, it would be the golden opportunity for the tech savvy Nagas to avail the facilities but in the same breath, Nagas shouldn’t eat away the seeds as before then only we can prosper for all round of developments.

Therefore, in confluence with the industrial development policy for the North East India, our elected representatives should meticulously focus on planting industrial growth in our soil to live a life of self reliance through holistic efforts. In this way not only our GDP would be augmented but generate thousands of employment avenues to accommodate teeming youths in various disciplines of works.

O

ith the ongoing tussle for the CM post amidst climatic payback conditions; deteriorating roads with no signs or hope of improvement; the quarterly visits by our so-called mandated representatives to Kaziranga resorts who have no real sense of politics with principles; I refuse to sit back and do nothing by the mere fact that I was born a human being. I refuse to be trifled with for the reason that the people who should be at the helm of affairs are busy camping in resorts and hotels at the expense of the state exchequer. I’m forced to thinking- Are these never ending political unrest some kind of mechanism to keep the public ignorant of what is really going on? To distract and deceive us so that they can run to the banks with every penny they could get their hands on? If that’s the case, their plan has worked flawlessly. The world may not be fair, but it is supposed to be fairer within my own state- the land I loved most.

There has been growing political unrest which

could turn violent, may in turn lead to the imposition of President’s rule. Who else is embarrassed by your lack of shame sans sense of responsibility? “WE” the general public- your electorates are. Perhaps it is our fault coz we elected them in the first place. Having said that, we must set our house in order. What sense will it make if we get a CM (new or incumbent) and we still have these bunch of shaky legislators who will run away to anywhere anytime regardless of planning or principle. Ironically, there are parts of it that some legislators will really love even though they are prisoners in their own land- All for the love of money. The only option that someone is really left with if they want real change is to execrate these debauched politicians in the forthcoming general election.

S p r e a d t h e wo r d Down with leaders who have no real sense of politics with principles- That is our insurance policy. Make the government listen to you.

A pioneer passes away

ne of the pioneers of education in Nagaland passed away.

Fr. Joseph James Felix, who was simply known as Fr. Felix to his friends, left us for his eternal reward on 15.07.2017 at 10.pm. He was leading a retired life for the past two decades.

Fr. Felix was born on 10th December 1927 at Jamshedpur as the eldest son of Late Mr and Mrs George and Harriet Felix. He had 12 siblings. Fr. Felix was ordained a priest on 05.12.1954.

In 1957 he worked as a catholic priest and educator in Hundung of Tankhul area of Manipur, and came to Kohima in 1962 and ministered in the Christ King parish till 1965. These were blessed years for Nagaland. Fr. Felix realized that the Good News of Jesus Christ will become more meaningful and effective for the people of Nagaland, if they are able to get quality and affordable education at their own locality. To achieve this goal, he established 7 English medium schools in different parts of Nagaland. Holy Cross School Dimapur, St. John School Tuensang, All saints School, Peren, and Don Bosco School, Khonoma have grown into centres of excellance.3 others schools were closed down due to opposition from certain ill informed church leaders of Zunheboto, Chumukedima and Porba. Fr Felix will always be remembered as a great visionary who saw the possibility of

education to mould the future of a state.

He realized in his life that the Good News becomes a liberating grace only when people are redeemed from their ignorance by good education.

His funeral was held at Good shepherd seminary, Thahekhu Village, Dimapur on 16.07.2017 at 2.pm.

Clean election campaign vis-à-vis its objectives ...

(From Previous issue...)

T

he bureaucrats, technocrats and intellectuals play a crucial role in the governance and all-round development of the nation .Together they play the role of knowledge managers in the government and society. Being the pillars of governance, developmental activities and societal transformation, the basic qualities, needed by them are – efficiency, integrity, responsiveness, predictability, impersonality, rationality, sincerity and dedication. Most of the problems in the society exists either due to the absence of these qualities exhibited in them or they chose to ignore the situation due to fear of transfer, favouritism, or to hide up skeletons in their cupboard lest others opened up the Pandora box or other favour upon for himself from the political bosses( or silenced by the gun) .

Corruption in the society is maximum when these influential groups of people are hand in gloves with the politicians and choose to remain silent thus creating win-win situation for both the parties. Ultimately it is the society for which they serve suffers. It must be remembered that ‘With

Great Power Comes Great Responsibility ‘ and vice versa. The influential groups of people must therefore understand that since God has shown his mercy by allowing them to attained higher position in the society they must now fight to attain for Dignity, respect, love and more blessings from God and their fellow brethrens by stopping from becoming the “Chamchas/ king makers/manipulators or jola bag kupüwu (a person who carries the bag of someone - in sumi dialect) of the politicians and other Bosses. Standing up to fight for justice; to say no when necessary to the political bosses or others, guide and direct the society towards the light from darkness will serve this purpose.

5) Economic self reliance is achieve. ‘Vote for money’ or ‘purchased mandate’ is a direct result of economic dependency, inequality, lack of economic opportunities and poverty.

There is a strong link between poverty and corruption. Corruption is pervasive and entrenched in our society as our society has failed to promote economic self reliance. The story of voters taking money from the politicians for his vote and politicians buying the

votes is like a hen and egg story of which comes first between the two. The common people usually vote for money since they were compelled by their economic circumstances and have little faith with the politicians that they will do any good for them after elections. For him, election is once in five years opportunity to earn some money for his family expenses. For a hungry man election mean earning some cash for his next meal. On the other hand the politicians buy the vote because they knew they will not win the elections if they don’t purchase it. So he must adopt both fair and unfair means to win the election.

The Rich and influential groups of people take this opportunity to invest into ‘political business’ with the promise from the candidate to return the money into double either in cash or in kind. Pork barrelling projects, ballooning of the total outlay of the budget allotted to any projects, manipulation of the systems, favouritism, nepotism, bribery, faulty government policies and fiscal deficit is thus a direct result of this action. As a result Economic development is compromised and thereby corruption, economic inequality and poverty. Inorder

to escape from this vicious cycle it is essential for all the stakeholders mentioned above to play constructive role in the economic building initiatives by promoting conducive environment for the economic growth and development. Since Nagaland has being blessed with good fertile soil and favourable climate conditions for Agriculture and most of the Naga population depends on agriculture, Agriculture must be promoted especially Organic farming. Initiatives must be taken up for setting up of cold storage facilities, cheap transportation, market outlet to sell off agriculture product etc. Bank and other financial institutions must come forward to provide either interest free loans or meager interest percentage to the farmers and entrepreneurs. The Naga political groups should also identify certain sectors friendly for Economic growth and development and exempt taxation of the same. Above all good roads conditions, availability of power and stable Government is must condition for the economic growth.

Bottom-up approach of economic planning must be adopted. It should understand that if individuals are able to stand on their own feet he/she can make

his own decisions correctly without any compulsion by his needs. Meanwhile, clean election campaign must be strengthened and enforced strictly by not only the churches and government but Various organizations and Unions, NGOs, Village chiefs and all right thinking citizens. The election commission must also find some ingenious solution

like linking of Aadhar card with voter’s identity card to check the menace of Proxy voting etc. In conclusion, all the kings and kingmakers should be reminded by the wise words of Kautilya that, “In the happiness of his subjects lies the King’s happiness; In their welfare his welfare”.

Reader’s Post

You are not alone: someone cares

Sir,

The Dimapur district administration has done a commendable job after the collapse of bridge at Naga United Village. It has banned the enthusiatic innovation of rubber-tube-boat to ferry helpless commuters across the river citing risk factors. On 17/07/2017, two NST buses with poster on the left wind sheild written- city service have been plunged into service to ply ‘to and fro’ at Chumukedima to Showuba for a nominal fare of rupees twenty per passenger. This thoughtful and unseemingly signicant job, with the objective to alleviate the burdens of many who depend on the fallen bridge for their survival will surely bridge the gap between the common people and the government . The gesture of the district administration can revive the morals of the disheartened many. Also to many an encouragement to move on even though they have been crippled momentarily. An assurance to many that: “you are not alone: someone cares”. May the good Lord bless all through the deeds of love, help and care for people in need.

Lolly Bashu, Naga United Village, Dimapur.

KOHIMA, JUL 17 (NPN): National Highway (NH) 29 – a lifeline between Kohima and Dimapur –which remained cut off since July 9 due to massive landslide at Kiruphem-Peducha area, could reopen soon. According to sources from Kiruphema village, the highway was likely to re-open within a day or two if the weather remained dry. Following the landslide, the movement of vehicles has been adversely affected causing untold misery to the travellers. Kohima-bound light vehicles have been directed to ply the alternate route via Peducha to Tsiesema and Dimapur-bound vehicles via Sechü Zubza, Kiruphema and Peducha. The four lane construction company in tandem with Kiruphema Youth Organisation (KYO) are continuing their effort to restore the highway at earliest.

Gov, CM, others condole demise of ex-MLA Oditenba

Landowners serve NAYO condemns burning of vehicles Northern Angami Youth Organisation ultimatum on govt DIMAPUR: (NAYO) in support to the Angami Youth Organisation has condemned the act of “hooliganism and gooon rail project (AYO) daism” perpetrated by unknown miscreants in Kohima by

(From p-1) In a condolence message to Mrs. C. Akokla Odi, Dr. Liezietsu described Late Oditenba as a straight-forward elderly man who never failed to express his honest and unbiased opinions on issues facing the State and his people.

Dr. Liezietsu said he was one of those pioneer Naga politicians who became members of the Assembly, swearing their allegiance to the Constitution of India when the movement for self-determination of the Nagas was at its height, and threats and intimidations to elected representatives were regularly issued to elected members.

He said it would be difficult for the present Naga generations to imagine the hardship Naga leaders went through in the 1960s. But it must be understood by all that these leaders made tremendous sacrifices to take up the cause of the Naga people with the Government of India, he added.

“We have come thus far because of the efforts of our past leaders who gave their best to take the Naga people forward in the national mainstream of the nation, like Oditenba,’ he said. He said the passing away of Oditenba, not

only the Phom people, but the Nagas have lost a leader who wanted people to see a better tomorrow.

On behalf of the Government and the people of Nagaland, Dr. Liezietsu conveyed his heart-felt condolence to the bereaved family members and prayed to the Almighty to grant them solace and comfort at this hour of grief and also prayed for the departed soul to rest in eternal peace.

ENPO: Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation (ENPO) has expressed pain to learn the sudden demise of Otitenba Phom, ex-MLA and a senior leader of Eastern Nagaland.

ENPO president Khoiwang Konyak and general secretary Manlang Phom said late Otitenba, who was one of the signatories of ENPO state demand memorandum in the 2010, had a deep love and concern for the people of Eastern Nagaland.

All those who knew him, greatly respected him, and for which, the ENPO shall always cherish the memory of his sincere dedication for his people, they said.

Further, ENPO conveyed sincere sympathy to the bereaved family members and prayed for the departed leader to rest in eternal peace.

DIMAPUR, JUL 17 (NPN): Consequent upon state government failure to respond on the demand to review the rate of compensation paid to the villagers, the landowners of six villages affected by rail project have served 15 days ultimatum on the government with effect from August 1, 2017.

The signatories on behalf of the six villagesGB Pimla Dohoi Sema, GB Dhansiripar Dehiraj Girisa, chairman Razaphe Basa K.K. Rio, GB Zutovi Victo Sema, GB Sokhuvi Vekuto and GB Khemnok P. Shingnyu alleged that rate of compensation of Rs. 28.75 per square feet against Rs. 60 per square feet in Chumukedima area was discriminatory when major portion of the land acquired were paddy fields.

They also claimed that the cabinet decision to give Rs. 60 per square feet in Chumukedima area up to 18.400 km covers the lands of the six villages.

In view of the above, the affected landowners have decided to impose “complete stoppage of work” till matter is resolved and also warned that the government would be held responsible for any untoward incident.

power hungry NPF leaders and a partisan Governor to continually take people for granted,” NPCC said.

The only recourse for the people to set things right would be to reject these so called leaders who are actually power mongers without any sense of political principles or morality, NPCC added.

The Congress party reminded the Governor that “his blatant way of functioning to protect the interest of NPF-BJP alliance has brought disrepute to the office he occupies.”

NPCC said the past occupants of Raj Bhavan, many of whom were eminent personalities, intellectuals and seasoned politicians, had maintained the sanctity of the office despite their political affiliations which were shelved during their tenure.

Meanwhile, it urged Dr. Shürhozelie to own moral responsibility on NPF party crisis since the day the MP, Neiphiu Rio left for Delhi. The legislature party stated that Dr. Shürhozelie has not been honest to himself and party legislators and became the chief minister out of the way. “Let the Naga people judge who is representing their voice and mandate of the people,” the legislature party added.

DP-7302

(From p-1) NPCC further said that the “spineless legislators”, particularly the NPF, had been giving undue advantage to the Governor by their constant power struggle, which has allowed the Governor and BJP-RSS to keep fishing in troubled waters.

The elected legislators, who have been in the news more for wrong reasons than any achievements, have lowered our dignity in the eyes of the people across the country through their insatiable hunger for power, it stated.

Lamenting that the people of Nagaland were living in one of the worst eras of governance under NPF, NPCC said: “The deafening silence of our people, except some few noble souls during the past 15 years, has emboldened the pack of

machineries and completely tarnishing the image of NPF party’s office as well as the CMO. The legislature party said it was for the Naga people to realize that the “minority chief minister” Shürhozelie and his 11 MLAS were turning out to be “nothing more than imposters throttling the voice of Nagaland while turning the State into a laughing stock before the outside world.”

It reiterated that “gratefulness” was a quality that an erudite person like Dr. Shürhozelie should be able to display when confronted with hard facts and reality given the fact that Zeliang had initiated a smooth transition over to him. It said Dr. Shürhozelie should have reciprocated resisting the “evil designs of his cronies and his personal greed for power.”

The legislature party said it was the 43 elected MLAs under Zeliang’s leadership who have the mandate to run the affairs of the State and not the 11 MLAs out of the present effective strength in the 59-member house.

DP-7298(A)

NPCC censures Gov for ‘partisan attitude’

the minority group in the NPF Party, adding that 10 MLAs cannot seek to control the 37 MLAs while the inference that 37 could control 10 was completely reasonable.

Stating that Yitachu’s claim on disqualification of NPF MLAs who vote against the party whip was true, the legislature party said if Yitachu and his “misguided colleagues” understand the logic, it must not be difficult to figure out who and which group stood at the brink of disqualification.

It said that the truth about appointment of Whip, by whom and in what Forum, would be made known at the time of voting or after voting on the floor of the House.

Also, the legislature party asked Yitachu to recollect how on the evening of February 16, 2017, legislators were summoned to NPF president Dr. Shürhozelie’s residence by KG Kenye, MP (RS), and took the decision to ask Zeliang to step down from his chair immediately, wherein he succumbed to pressure tactics of Dr. Shürhozelie and KG Kenye.

It stated that party functionaries in any political party had no authority to summon elected members and take decisions of the legislature party where there was incumbent chief minister and leader of the legislature party.

It said Yitachu was against such dictatorial action earlier, but today he has become a different person just for the fear of losing his chair.

The legislature party said it was Yitachu who had told Dr. Shürhozelie that a non-elected member could not be the Leader of the House (NPF Legislature Party). However, it said today Yitachu has changed his colour by stating that “the Leader of the House is Dr. Shürhozelie by virtue of being the CM” contradicting every bit of his previous statement. It warned that more details would be divulged unless Yitachu stopped “his baloney at the earliest.”

Meanwhile, the legislature party also accused what it called ‘One mantwo posts’ Shürhozelie and his 10 MLAs of misusing all available government

galand Post that on receipt of letter on Sunday from CMO informing about the chief minister’s planned visit to the NLA premise, he had forwarded the same to his subordinate officer to make necessary arrangements.

On Monday, Newmai said he along with polling officers were busy making arrangements for the polling. He also the CEO and the central observer were also doing their rounds for sanitising the premises for the polling.

During that period, he said some staff had closed the entry and rear gates without knowing that the CM was to arrive as informed, Benjamin however said he took full responsibility for the incident which occurred due to unforeseen communication gap.

(From p-1) NPF legislature party also stated that Yitachu acknowledging both Shürhozelie and TR Zeliang as NPF legislature party leaders itself displayed how confused he was as a politician. It said in a democratic party system there could be only one legislature party leader, which in this case was TR Zeliang.

NPF legislature party also asked Yitachu to learn how the Constitution allowed the formation of a popular government, saying government was never formed by majority of cabinet ministers and that too under the leadership of a non-elected member. It said government was always formed by the voice of the majority elected members in the House mandated by the people.

After sacking NPF as well as Independent MLAs from their offices as ministers and parliamentary secretaries under DAN government, the legislature party sad Yitachu termed such actions as purely internal affairs of the NPF party. It said this made one wonder what sort of a legal background he comes from as this action itself proved that the present crisis involves DAN government.

“By all means, if it was simply an internal Party affair, why did Shürhozelie and his 11 legislators approach the Court of Law instead of resigning from the Chair to settle the differences internally?” it questioned.

The legislature party also termed as “nothing but pure hogwash” the assertion of Yitachu that Dr. Shürhozelie still enjoyed absolute majority constitutionally and legally.

It pointed out that on April 4, 2017, TR Zeliang was declared as the undisputed leader by a majority of 34 MLAs, which was further supported by three more NPF MLAs. As such, it said 37 out of 47 recognised and sanctioned the leadership of TR Zeliang.

“Such a sanction does not exist either with Yitachu or NPF party president whereas true to democracy, more than 2/3 majority is in support of TR Zeliang,” it asserted.

It maintained that 37 MLAs form the majority group while 10 MLAs form

polling and not for any other purposes.

He said the CMO had informed the NLA Speaker and the Secretariat on Sunday about the chief minister’s planned visit on Monday.

Yitachu said though Dr. Shürhozelie was yet to be a member of the house, yet by virtue of being the chief minister and as per the rules, he could enter the assembly.

Yitachu also wondered why the dissident MLAs were in a hurry to grab the chair. “They could wait for the bye-poll results. If Dr. Liezietsu loses the election his term will end by August 21 and a new CM can be selected,” he said.

He also replied in the negative when asked if PR was in the offing.

Government Spokesperson Yitachu told media persons after casting his vote, that the chief minister was not at all planning to enter the voting chamber since he was still not a member of the house and so did not have voting right.

South Korea seeks rare talks with North

FILE -- In this Oct. 22, 2015 photo, North Korean Son Kwon Geun (C) weeps with his South Korean relatives as he bids farewell after the Separated Family Reunion Meeting at Diamond Mountain resort in North Korea.

the South’s Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon told a news briefing.

The South Korean defense ministry proposed talks with the North on July 21 at Tongilgak to stop all activities that fuel tension at the military demarcation line.

Tongilgak is a North Korean building at the Panmunjom truce village on the border used for previous inter-Korea talks. The last such talks were held in December 2015.

Cho also urged the restoration of military and government hotlines across the border, which had been cut by the North last year in

response to the South imposing economic sanctions after a nuclear test by Pyongyang. In all, the North has conducted five nuclear tests and numerous missile tests.

The South also proposed separate talks by the rival states’ Red Cross organizations to resume a humanitarian project to reunite families separated during the 1950-53 Korean War in closely supervised events held over a few days.

The South Korean Red Cross suggested talks be held on Aug. 1, with possible reunions over the Korean thanksgiving Chuseok holiday, which falls in October this year.

Panamagate: Pakistan SC resumes hearing against Sharif

ISLAMABAD, JUL 17 (PTI): Pakistan’s Supreme Court today resumed the hearing of high-profile Panamagate graft case against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his family, a week after a probe panel in its final report recommended filing of a graft case against him and his children.

Strict security measures are in place in and around the Supreme Court.

Around 700 policemen, along with Rangers personnel and officials of the local administration, have been deployed for the hearing.

The six-member Joint Investigation Team (JIT), set up by the apex court to investigate charges of money laundering against 67year-old Sharif, submitted its 60-day investigation report to the court on July 10.

It recommended filing of a corruption case against him and his children after finding “significant” disparities in their income and actual wealth.

The JIT report recommended that a corruption case should be filed against Sharif and his sons Hassan Nawaz and Hussain Nawaz, as well as daughter Maryam Nawaz, under the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) ordinance 1999.

The court after receiving the report had ordered that its copies should be provide to the parties and adjourned with directives

that the rival lawyers come prepared for the hearing about the JIT report.

The report, however, was slammed by the Nawaz Sharif gover nment as “trash”.

Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has said that government will challenge the JIT report in the court and will contest its every clause.

S h a r i f ’s d a u g h t e r Maryam also rejected the report, saying, “JIT report REJECTED. Every contradiction will not only be contested but decimated in SC. NOT a penny of public exchequer involved.”

Afghan civilian deaths hit new high, says UN KABUL, JUL 17 (AFP): Civilian deaths in Afghanistan hit a new high in the first half of 2017 with 1,662 killed and more than 3,500 injured, the United Nations said today.

Deaths in the capital Kabul accounted for nearly 20 per cent of the toll, according to the report by the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), which has been documenting civilian casualties in the war-torn country since 2009. The majority of the victims were killed by antigovernment forces -- including the Taliban and in attacks claimed by the Islamic State, the report said.

The first six months of the year has seen a significant rise in the number of civilian lives lost in highly coordinated attacks involving more than one perpetrator, with 259 killed and 892 injured -- a 15 per cent increase on the same period last year. Many of those deaths happened in a single attack in Kabul in late May when a truck bomb exploded during the morning rush hour, killing more than 150 people and injuring hundreds.

UNAMA put the civilian death toll at 92, saying it was the deadliest incident to hit the country since 2001.

Venezuela opposition ups ante on Prez Maduro CA R ACA S, J U L 1 7 (AGENCIES): Energized by a massive vote against President Nicolas Maduro in an unofficial plebiscite, Venezuela’s opposition mulled on Monday how to escalate protests and block a new congress it fears may enshrine Socialist Party hegemony.

After months of demonstrations that have led to nearly 100 deaths, the Democratic Unity coalition brought millions onto the streets on Sunday for an informal referendum intended to de-legitimize a leader they call a dictator.

Now, opposition leaders are promising “Zero Hour” in Venezuela to demand a general election and stop the leftist Maduro’s plan to create a controversial new legislative super-body called a Constituent Assembly in a July 30 vote.

Opposition tactics may include lengthy road blockades and sit-ins, a national strike, or possibly even a march on the Miraflores presidential palace, similar to events before a short-lived coup against Maduro’s predecessor Hugo Chavez in 2002.

“Today, Venezuela stood up with dignity to say freedom does not go backwards, democracy is not negotiated,” Julio Borges, who leads the oppositioncontrolled legislature, said shortly after midnight when

- to reject the proposed new assembly, urge the military to defend the existing constitution, and support elections before Maduro’s term ends, according to academics monitoring the vote for the opposition. Sunday’s nearly 7.2 million participation compared with 7.7 million opposition votes in the 2015 legislative elections that it won by a landslide and 7.3 million votes Julio Borges addresses the media after an unofficial for the opposition in a 2013 plebiscite against President Nicolas Maduro’s presidential poll narrowly government and his plan to rewrite the constitution, won by Maduro. in Caracas, Venezuela July 16, 2017.

the referendum results were announced.

“We don’t want a fraudulent Constituent Assembly imposed on us. We don’t want to be Cuba. We don’t want to be a country without freedom,” he added, promising further announcements on opposition strategy on Monday.

‘Internal Exercise’

Maduro, whose term is due to end in early 2019, dismissed Sunday’s event as an internal exercise by the opposition with no bearing on his government.

“Don’t go crazy, calm down,” he said on Sunday in a message to the opposition, vowing his Constituent Assembly would bring peace to the volatile nation of 30 million people.

Maduro, 54, a former bus driver and long-serving foreign minister for Chavez, narrowly won election in

2013 but has seen his ratings plunge to just over 20 percent during a brutal economic crisis in the South American OPEC member.

Though polls show the opposition has majority support and his foes repeatedly call for a free and fair election as their top demand, Maduro insists they are U.S. pawns intent on sabotaging the economy and bringing him down through violence.

Most Venezuelans oppose the Constituent Assembly, which will have power to rewrite the constitution and annul the current opposition-led legislature, but Maduro is pressing on anyway for the vote in two weeks’ time.

In three questions at Sunday’s event, opposition supporters voted overwhelmingly - by 98 percent

Show of force

Opposition organizers pointed out Sunday’s turnout follows just two weeks of organization, with voting at just 2,000 polling stations, compared to 14,000 at the 2015 vote.

“The result is a remarkable show of force for Venezuela’s opposition,” New York-based Torino Capital said, noting participation also meant openly defying the government.

“We can assume that the number of people voting was less than that which would turn out to vote in a regular election ..

The results seem to confirm that the opposition would easily defeat the government in any election.” State media largely ignored the event, concentrating instead on a trial run on Sunday for the July 30 vote, while Maduro allies accused the opposition of inflating vote numbers.

SEOUL, JUL 17 (agencies): South Korea on Monday proposed military talks with North Korea, the first formal overture to Pyongyang by the government of President Moon Jae-in, to discuss ways to avoid hostile acts near the heavily militarized border.

There was no immediate response by the North to the proposal for talks later this week. The two sides technically remain at war but Moon, who came to power in May, has pledged to engage the North in dialogue as well as bring pressure to impede its nuclear and missile programs.

The offer comes after the North claimed to have conducted the first test of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) earlier this month, and said it had mastered the technology to mount a nuclear warhead on the missile. South Korea and the United States, its main ally, dispute the claim.

“Talks and cooperation between the two Koreas to ease tension and bring about peace on the Korean peninsula will be instrumental for pushing forth a mutual, virtuous cycle for interKorea relations and North Korea’s nuclear problem,”

G

ame of Thrones has returned for its seventh season and the critics are generally quite happy about it.

“It was a thrill to have the show back and it looked more stunning than ever,” wrote The Independent’s reviewer.

“By the end of the episode it is clear that the stage is now set for a war of truly epic proportions,” wrote Jess Kelham-Hohler of the Evening Standard.

Yet Digital Spy’s Alex Mullane did feel the episode - entitled Dragonstone - was “a little underwhelming in places”.

The first episode of the show’s seventh series was broadcast in the US on Sunday evening and in the early hours of Monday morning in the UK. Only one more season of the epic fantasy saga, inspired by the works of author George RR Martin, is planned after this one.

WARNING: the following article may contain spoilers.

Dragonstone opened in typically gory fashion with members of the late Walder Frey’s house dying in numbers after imbibing poisoned wine.

It also featured the in-

troduction of a new character, played by the Oscarwinning Jim Broadbent, as well as a cameo from pop star Ed Sheeran.

Reviews of the episode welcomed Broadbent’s performance as Archmaester Marwyn, with the Hollywood Reporter saying he “fits into this ensemble flawlessly”.

Yet critics were far less complimentary about Sheeran, whose appearance as a soldier was dubbed “jarring” and “unsubtle” by The Independent’s Christopher Hooton. In his role as an unnamed singing soldier, the

Twitterati slam Karan, Varun, Saif for Nepotism chant

A

fter sparking off a controversy with his nepotism debate at the IIFA Awards in New Jersey over the weekend, filmmaker Karan Johar, actors Saif Ali Khan and Varun Dhawan received flak on social media with Twitteraties calling their act “disappointing”.

Karan and Saif, who were hosting the gala, revisited the much-talked about issue that started in Bollywood when “Queen” star Kangana Ranaut branded Karan as a “flagbearer of nepotism” on his chat show.

When Varun joined the two actors on the stage at the Metlife Stadium to receive the Best Performance in a Comic Role for “Dishoom”, Saif joked that the actor had made it big in the industry because

of his father, director David Dhawan.

“You are here because of your papa,” Saif quipped.

Var un said: “And you’re here because of your mummy (veteran actress Sharmila Tagore).”

Karan then promptly added: “I am here because of my papa (late filmmaker Yash Johar).”

They then said in unison: “Nepotism rocks”.

On Twitter, a string of criticism followed, describing what the personalities said as unfunny and joking about actress Kangana Ranaut in her absence. Those tweeting included Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi and AIB member Tanmay Bhatt.

Abhishek Singhvi: I’d like to see the likes of

Karan Johar, Saif and Varun Dhawan try their nepotism humour when Kangana is in their presence. IIFA. Tanmay Bhat: I just realised they legit yelled Nepotism Rocks at the end of it and I cannot stop face palming.

“How is it an “insult” to Kangana If anything it’s a crass/tacky display of how shamelessly nepotistic Bollywood,” one of the users posted.

Added another user, “Last night Karan Johar was shamelessly chanting nepotism rocks. So it means he admits that he has no talent and he’s just a piece of shit.”

“Totally not expected from you Varun Dhawan, seriously you said ‘nepotism rocks’. Insulting a lady in such a big stage simply not acceptible.

I’m disappointed,” said a user.

Another fan wrote: I don’t know what kind of entitlement you need to actually find ‘nepotism rocks’ funny. Like yeah it did for you and that makes you a loser.

In February this year, Kangana had called Karan Johar ‘intolerant’ towards outsiders and a ‘flag bearer of nepotism’ on his popular talk show “Koffee With Karan”.

chart-topping performer is seen telling Maisie Williams’ Anya Stark that the song he is singing is “a new one”.

According to the Daily Mirror, the exchange “could only have been more awkward if he’d winked at the camera after and said ‘Available at all good record stores’.”

Many reviewers felt the episode’s main function was to set the scene for the rest of the season, with Empire’s James White calling it “a fairly standard kick-off ”.

Yet this did not stop Forbes’ Erik Kain proclaiming it to be “one of the best, most engaging season openers... filled with brilliant scene after brilliant scene.”

Fans too have been in raptures, with Chris Gutierrez claiming the episode showed Game of Thrones to be “quite possibly the best show ever made”.

“Arya madness. Ed Sheeran cameo. Sansa looking phenomenal.

Dany finally touching Westeros. Dragons. Game of Thrones well & truly back,” raved fellow Twitter user Luna.

S

inger Ed Sheeran has hit back at touts by cancelling 10,000 tickets being sold online at ripoff prices.

Hundreds of seats for next year’s gigs at Wembley were being listed on resale websites within minutes of release. Most were asking for up to eight times the 49 pounds to 88 pounds face value, but one wanted 174,000 pounds for a pair of tickets.

Such tickets are no longer valid and are being put back on official sale, reports mirror.co.uk.

Sheeran’s spokesman said, “Most ­p rofiteering companies heeded promoters’ warnings not to trade and resell tickets that would instantly be cancelled. This resulted in 90 per cent of tickets being delivered into fans’ hands at the face value.”

“The process of analysing sales and cancelling tickets purchased for purposes for resale will continue until the tour takes place.”

Filmmaker moves court against ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’

A

Jaipur-based filmmaker, Praatik Sharma, has moved the court against the makers of Akshay Kumar-starrer “Toilet: Ek Prem Katha” for allegedly lifting the punchline and the subject from his film “Gutrun Gutar Gun”.

A copyright infringement case was filed by Sharma against Plan C Studios, an alliance between Reliance Entertainment and Friday Filmworks helmed

by Neeraj Pandey and Shital Bhatia, and Viacom18 on July 7 in a Jaipur Metropolitan Court. The court has issued a notice returnable on July 22. When IANS contacted the makers of “Toilet: Ek Prem Katha” about the allegation, they refused to comment.

“Plan C is producing it and Viacom18 is serving as a producer and presenter.

There is one line in my movie - ‘aurat shadi karke ghar mai aati hai, usko toilet nahi milta, bawal hota hai, ant mai pati usko toilet bana kar deta hai.’ (a woman gets married and then doesn’t find a toilet at home, creates a scene and ultimately a toilet is constructed).

“Because of this line the distributors are telling me my film is the same film as ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha,’ Sharma, who had finished making “Gutrun Gutar Gun” in 2015, told IANS. His film, he says, had got a certificate from the Central Board of Film Cer-

ccording to The Pulse Of Radio, Green Day singer/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong has teamed up with Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong — no relation — to launch a new punk supergroup called Armstrongs. Billie Joe’s son Joey Armstrong, who played in the punk band Swmrs, and Tim’s nephew Rey Armstrong round out the quartet, which has released its first song, called “If There Was Ever A Time”.

Arstrongs recorded the track for the documentary “Turn It Around: The Story Of East Bay Punk”, which the members of Green Day helped produce.

The film focuses on Berkeley, California’s legendary all-ages, non-profit punk venue 924 Gilman, where acts like Green Day and Racid got their start.

“If There Was Ever A Time” will be released on flexi-disc through Pirates Press, limited to 1,000 copies, with all proceeds from the sale of the single benefiting 924 Gilman. The song will also available on streaming services and digital music stores.

“Anything that has to do with working with Gilman and Tim and Joey Armstrong, consider me in,” says Billie Joe. “This is about our home and family. Viva Armstrong!” “It was exciting to work on this song with Billie and crew for the film,” says Tim. “Stoked to share the tune with everyone out there and to be donating all the proceeds to Gilman, which is a place so near, dear, and important to us.”

Green Day just wrapped up a European tour in support of its latest album, “Revolution Radio”, and will begin a North American trek on August 1 in Auburn, Washington.

After struggling for two years, his team was ready to release it on July 28 this year. “But distributors have backed out saying our film is similar to ‘Toilet...’. They said even if they put it up, they would remove it from screens if asked to. This is unfair,” Sharma said.

The results indicated that the more regularly people engaged with word puzzles, the better they performed on cognitive tasks assessing attention, reasoning and memory -- decline of which may lead to the development of dementia.

Further, such people also have brain function equivalent to ten years younger than their age on tests of grammatical reasoning speed and short-term memory accuracy.

“We found direct relationships between the frequency of word puzzle use and the speed and accuracy of performance on nine cognitive tasks assessing a range of aspects of function, including attention, reasoning and memory,” said Keith Wesnes, Professor at the University of Exeter in Britain. “Performance was consistently better in

those who reported engaging in puzzles and generally improved incrementally with the frequency of puzzle use,” Wesnes added.

For the study, presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) 2017 held in London, the team analysed

data from more than 17,000 healthy people aged 50 and over, submitted in an online trial. Along with keeping the mind active, exercising, avoiding smoking and eating a healthy balanced diet may also help reduce the risk of developing dementia, the researchers suggested.

Mexico blanks Curacao to reach Gold Cup quarters

Curacao’s Ayrton Statie (21) and Mexico’s Raul Lopez (17) leap for a header during a CONCACAF Gold Cup match in San Antonio.

LOS ANGELES, Jul 17 (Agencies): Defending champion Mexico booked their spot in the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup Sunday by blanking Curacao 2-0 and stretching their tournament win streak to eight straight games.

Mexico finished first in Group C with two wins and a draw for seven points.

Jamaica was second with five points and El Salvador finished third with four points.

after playing to a 1-1 draw earlier Sunday.

Mexico will next face Honduras on Thursday in Phoenix, Arizona with the winner advancing to the semi-finals. Jamaica square off against tournament surprise Canada in the other quarter-final on Thursday.

The United States, who won Group B, will battle El Salvador on Wednesday while Costa Rica faces Panama.

There was little riding on Sunday night’s match as Curacao had been eliminated before the game when El Salvador tied Jamaica.

A n g e l S e p u l ve d a and teenager Edson Alvarez scored for Mexico who fielded a team that featured just one player from their 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup squad.

Sepulveda scored halfway through the first half in front of a crowd of 44,000 at the Alamodome Arena.

Mexico then held on until 19-year-old Alvarez scored his first international goal in the 91st minute to seal the victory.

Mexico is seeking its eighth Gold Cup title having won previously in 1993, 1996, 1998, 2003, 2009, 2011 and 2015.

Jamaica finished the knockout round with one win and two draws.

Nelson Bonilla opened the scoring in the 15th minute for El Salvador, who avoided a defeat which would have seen them playing Group B’s Martinique in an elimination round tiebreaker.

Bonilla scored on a left footed shot to the far post at the Alamodome arena. It was the first goal given up by the Jamaican defence in the tournament.

Darren Mattocks tied it up in the 64th minute for the Reggae Boyz with a perfectly-placed low, hard shot that beat El Salvador goalkeeper Derby Carrillo. It was Mattocks’ fifth goal in six Gold Cup contests.

El Salvador returns to the quarter-finals for the first time since 2013 as they failed to advance out of the knockout round in 2015.

Elsewhere, the USA brought in added reinforcements for Wednesday’s quarter-final match.

The Americans are one of the pre-tournament favourites and they hope to take advantage of reigning champs Mexico fielding an inexperienced B squad.

US coach Bruce Arena called up forwards Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore, midfielders Michael Bradley and Darlington Nagbe, and goalie Tim Howard.

SAI coaches undergo assessment; to be sacked upon failure New Delhi, Jul 17 (PTI): Close to 1000 SAI coaches over the age of 40 are being subjected to strenuous medical and physical tests for assessment of their endurance, flexibility and strength and those who fail will be asked to quit by the Sports Ministry.

The assessment exercises - to be carried out in three phases across the country - has begun with the North Zone and will be completed by the end of September. To evaluate their

endurance, the coaches are being asked to take a 800m run and to assess their flexibility, Forward Bend and Reach is being used as a parameter. Their heart rate, in response to exercise, is also being examined apart from blood pressure and aerobic fitness. Height, weight, Body Mass Index (BMI) are also being tested to evaluate their fitness. A four skin-fold test, which includes biceps, triceps, subscarpular (a triangular muscle below the neck) and suprailliac (loca-

tion above right hip bone to check fat), also forms a part of the assessment to check their body fat.

A committee, consisting of experts in scientific department, including GTMT (General Theory and Methods of sports Training), Physiology and Anthropometry is conducting the evaluation. “To ensure that no sub-standard coach gets a favourable result, the coaches will be assessed by a separate committee as well. This will

ensure an unbiased and true report on SAI coaches,” a Sports Ministry official told PTI. It has been learnt that BVP Rao, a member of the SAI Governing body, will head a five-member committee which will set up a system for a final evaluation but will not be a part of the examination. “The committee under Rao will only put in place a system. Those who will be found unfit for the job, will be asked to leave,” said the official.

Rao, a retired IAS officer, was made Chairman of the Committee last week at the SAI’s Governing Body meeting and will start work once the official notification comes.

It has also been learnt that in the final evaluation, feedback of the athletes will also be taken. “You are not going to be assessed by just your superior or boss now.

The ministry is very keen to have only deserving candidates in the jobs,” said an official.

South Africa thrash England to level series

sports

South Africa have levelled the Test series against England at 1-1 after crushing the hosts.

Nottingham, Jul 17 (Agencies): The Proteas have thrashed England in the second Test at Trent Bridge winning by 340 runs midway through the fourth day.

England started the day on 1 without loss facing the uphill battle of having to face 180 overs or score a massive 474 to win.

The Proteas soon had the hosts under pressure when Keaton Jennings (0) saw his off stump knocked back

by Vernon Philander in the second over of the day.

Gar y Ballance (4) soon followed after a review from South Africa.

He was another victim of Philander who removed England’s under-fire No 3 by trapping him leg before wicket. That brought Joe Root to the wicket

although he too didn’t last long with Chris Morris producing a superb yorker that struck off-stump and sent the England captain back to the pavilion for just 8.

Six overs later, Morris had another when he induced Alastair Cook (42) into an attempted hook only for the resolute opener to glove it behind for Quinton de Kock to take an excellent catch down the leg side.

Keshav Maharaj was next into the action for a now rampant Proteas and he managed to remove the dangerous Jonny Bairstow who miscued an attempted hit down the ground, only to be caught at mid-on for 16.

Moeen Ali (27) and Ben Stokes (18) produced some resistance by putting

on 38 for the sixth wicket before Marharaj had Ali caught at square leg by Heino Khun and Philander caught and bowled Stokes.

Stuart Broad (5) then holed out to Maharaj with Morne Morkel taking an easy catch on the midwicket boundary to the groans of a bewildered English crowd.

Mark Wood followed in the next over for a first ball duck giving Duane Olivier his first wicket in the match. Olivier then removed James Anderson with the very next ball to give the Proteas an emphatic victory.

Philander (3/24) and Maharaj (3/42) were the stand out bowlers for the visitors.

The third Test starts on at the Oval on July 27.
