NTC consultative meet on ‘Naga Peace Process’ DimapuR/KOHIMA, Jul 26 (NPN): Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) on Tuesday organised a day-long consultative meeting on ‘Naga Peace Process’ with special reference to Nagas of Nagaland with Nagaland Tribe Hohos, civil society organisations and intellectuals at APO Hall, Kohima.

In a press release, NTC president Lendinoktang Ao and general secretary Nribemo Ngullie said the house after threadbare discussion on crucial issue had unanimously decided to issue a statement as follows: “The Nagas of Nagaland had initiated and spear headed the Naga National Movement and integration and still remain the back bone of the struggle. Whereas, the present trends of Political negotiation tend to ignore the importance of the Nagas of Nagaland.

Whereas, the Nagas of Nagaland have no intention to unduly interfere in such negotiation which is found exclusive for Naga brethren outside the State of Nagaland. Nevertheless, the negotiation should be inclusive of other NNPGs and the Nagas of Nagaland be taken in to confidence prior to finalization of such agreement.”

Revive honesty, integrity: CM

T.R. Zeliang (NP) Correspondent

MON, JUL 26 (NPN): State chief minister, T.R. Zeliang, on Tuesday said Nagas have been known for their honesty and integrity, but “unfortunately” this quality was rapidly diminishing and stressed the need to “do something to re-establish

it in our society.” Speaking as chief guest at the 6th ENSF Fiesta cum general session, which began on Tuesday at Local ground here on the theme “Conscia Mens Recti -- A Mind Conscious of Integrity”, the chief minister said the ENSF had chosen the right theme at the right time and congratulated them for preserving the rich culture of the Eastern Nagas.

“Nagas have been proud of our unique history, culture and identity and it should be our endeavour to protect, preserve and promote this identity and culture,” said chief minister, adding that unless “we do this”, nobody would “respect us, or give us importance.”

Zeliang expressed his happiness that even among the different Naga tribes, the Eastern Nagas have done better in preserving the “originality of

our tribal dresses and dances” and encouraged them to continue doing that.

He said the ENSF has been working commendably not only for the student body but also for the entire people of the Eastern Nagaland.

Zelaing said they have been actively functioning as effective powerful pressure group to oversee the functioning of the government office and their officers and influence the government policies and decisions.

On the issue of backward tribe reservation policy, the chief minister said the ENSF has brought many shortcomings that need to be implemented compelling the government to issue many fresh directives for effective implementation of the backward reservation policy.

NEW DELHI, JUL 26 (AGENCIES): Clarifying that Special Category States status have been discarded, Minister of State for Planning Rao Inderjit Singh said that Union Government has decided to increase the share of net shareable taxes to the States from 32 per cent earlier to 42 per cent for the period 2015-20.

The Minister said in a Rajya Sabha reply that the Fourteenth Finance Commission (FFC) has not made any distinction between General Category States and Special Category States in the horizontal distribution of shareable taxes amongst the States.

Singh said that according to the recommendations of the FFC, the Union Government has decided to increase the share of net shareable taxes to the States. Singh’s reply sets at rest all speculation over the status of the Special Category States, as Sarbananda Sonowal Government has been facing attacks from the Opposition for its failure to get the Special Category Status restored.

Special Category Status for plan assistance has been granted in the past by the National Development Council to some States that are characterized by a number of features necessitating special consideration. These features include hilly and difficult terrain, low population density and sizeable share of tribal population, strategic location along borders.

Sharmila to end fast, get married and fight polls

Irom Sharmila Correspondent

IMPHAL, JUL 26: In a stunning decision, anti-AFSPA crusader Irom Chanu Sharmila on Tuesday declared to end her 16-year-old hunger-strike

by August and contest Assembly elections as an Independent candidate.

“Now I have taken a decision to change the course of my 16-year-old struggle. I am planning to end up the fasting by the second week of August and contest the 2017 elections as independent candidate,” Sharmila told reporters after coming out from the court of Imphal West chief judicial magistrate Laukhanpau Tonsin on Tuesday. She was produced before the court on Tuesday. The court will hear her case again on August 9.

She planned to end up the fasting stir by August 15, but she may end up the stir by August 9, she hinted.

The Iron Lady of Manipur has been on an in-

definite fast since November 2000 demanding repeal of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act. Sharmila repeatedly made it clear that she wished to contest the 2017 general elections to the state Assembly as independent candidate, preferably from her home constituency, Khurai Assembly constituency of Imphal East district.

“No changes can be brought in the system without making any change in administrative system. This is the reason behind my decision. I have no other agenda except campaign against AFSPA,” she said.

Shamila expressed her dissatisfaction over the failure of the politicians to listen to her demand also alleged lack of supports from the civil society. Sharmila said, “In my 16 years of struggle, I felt discouraged with no visible changes. I want to emerge victorious during my lifetime”.

She further said that her decision to contest the elections was purely related with her struggle to repeal AFSPA. “I want to fight this draconian law through political arena.

“Now I believe no change can be brought about without political power,” she felt. “Even if I am defeated in the election, I will not retreat from my struggle. I will continue to fight,” she said. She also expressed her desire to get married and lead a normal life.

SMSA stops sand export to Nagaland DIMAPUR, JUL 26 (NPN): Sand Mahaldars and Suppliers Association (SMSA), HQ Manja, Karbi Anglong has temporarily imposed ban on the export of sand to Nagaland along NH-36 and NH-39 with effect from July 27, 2016.

In a press release, SMSA president Jackson Kramsa said the decision was unanimously taken by all mahaldars during an emergency meeting of the association on July 26, 2016. Pointing out the reasons, SMSA said the sand laden truck drivers breached the April 6, 2016 agreement, by not paying the right price in “their notorious game” and thus creating misunderstanding between the mahaldars.

Also, alleging that one Nanda Singh alias Nito Sumi of Dimapur has been creating “constant misunderstanding between the mahaldars”, Kramsa claimed that Nanda has time and again interfered in the business of SMSA and the forest department of Kabri Anglong. Kramsa further alleged that Nanda was instigating mahaldars by promising them in bringing more number of trucks in a particular ghat at low rates.

“He has been instigating some local youth which might lead to communal misunderstanding,” Kramsa alleged.

In this regard, Kramsa has requested the Sand Stockist and Suppliers union Dimapur (SSSUD) to urge Nanda to “stop his irrelevant activities in interfering in others business” before the situation turned worse.

However, with the approval of the project under the new Civil Aviation Policy, Rio said “the entire State has welcomed the development.”

Disaster Response Force(NDRF) jawans rescue flood affected villagers , at Chirang district in Assam on Tuesday. (PTI) Guwahati, Jul 26 (IANS): Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday called up Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal to get first-hand information on the latest flood situation in the state.

Sonowal apprised the Home Minister about the latest flood situation and the slew of steps initiated by the Assam government for relief, rescue and rehabilitation of the flood affected people, a statement issued by the Chief Minister’s Office here said on Tuesday.

“The Home Minister assured the Chief Minister that the central government would provide all help and assistance to the state government and would bear the expenses involved in dealing with the flood situation in the state,” it said.

Singh also conveyed to

the Chief Minister that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been keeping a close tab on the flood situation in Assam and has directed the Ministry of Home Affairs to extend all possible help and support to the flood affected people in their hour of distress.

In view of the deterioration in the flood situation following incessant rainfall in the last few days, Chief Minister Sonowal has directed all the Deputy Commissioners to gear up relief and rescue operations on a war footing and to spare no efforts to reach out to the affected people.

“There should not be any grounds for complaint and succour must be provided to the affected people. Special care must be given to women and infants,” Sonowal said in the

course of his video-conferencing with the DCs of the flood affected districts.

The Chief Minister said that no irregularities would be tolerated during the distribution of foodstuff and relief material to the affected people, and asked the DCs to ensure ‘quality food’ to the flood victims in view of alleged reports that ‘substandard food’ were being distributed in some affected areas.

Sonowal also directed the DCs to provide pure drinking water, medicines, baby food and fodder for livestock.

The Chief Minister asked the district heads to ensure proper sanitation at the relief camps to keep diseases at bay.

He asked them to keep a sufficient number of country boats ready to meet any exigency.

35,000 people affected by flood in Meghalaya

Correspondent

Tura (Meghalaya), Jul 26: More than 35, 000 people were affected in Meghalaya on Tuesday after the swollen Brahmaputra and Jingiram rivers submerged several villages, an official said. No loss of life has been reported so far.

The Jingiram caused havoc due to the sudden back flow of the Brahmaputra, inundating the low-lying areas.

The surging waters of the Jingiram river washed away the Majhipara-Solartek embankment, thereby increasing the risk of nearby villages getting completely submerged.

“A total of 35, 002 people have been affected by the flash floods in 71 villages in the plain belt areas of Garo Hills,” Pravin Bakshi, the district magistrate of West Garo Hills, said.

DIMAPUR, Jul 26 (NPN): Office of the central administrative officer (CAO), Shepoumaramth region, NSCN (I-M) has dismissed the news reports on the raid carried out by 35 Assam Rifles on its office as fabricated and untrue.

According to the release, NSCN (I-M) has also strongly condemned the “barbaric act” of 35 Assam Rifles, Maram for the raid when the Government of India and NSCN/GPRN as two entities were engaged in political negotiation to find lasting solution to the protracted issue.

“At such crucial time the 35 Assam Rifles post, Maram are busy inventing cooked story to tarnish the image of the Shepoumaramth Region, GPRN”, CAO said.

IIM-Shillong students planted trees to pay respect to Kalam

Correspondent

Shillong, Jul 26: Over 200 students of the Indian Institute of ManagementShillong on Tuesday undertook a tree plantation drive, ‘Prakriti’ planting tree saplings in and around this mountainous state capital of Meghalaya to pay rich tributes to former President APJ Abdul Kalam, whose first death anniversary on Wednesday.

One year since the country lost its People’s President, the students with whom he spent his last moments remember him fondly and strive to achieve the vision he shared for creating a liveable planet by planting trees.

“Kalam’s legacy is to make the planet more liveable, not only for the present, but for future generations as well.

To pay our respects to the legend, we would name the auditorium in our new campus at Umsawli after Kalam with a life-size statue of him to be placed outside the new auditorium,” IIM-Shillong Director Amitabha De said.

Basav Roychoudhury, Chairperson PGPM stated “The plantation drive is our small initiative to making the planet more liveable focusing on aspects related to the environment as well as human life.”

Kalam who was known as People’s President collapsed while delivering a lecture to the management students of the IIM-Shillong here in Me-

ghalaya on July 27 last year.

About 15 minutes into his speech, while sharing his experiences, he suddenly fainted and fell down around 6.30 p.m. Kalam was then rushed to the Bethany hospital where he was declared dead due to a massive cardiac arrest by a team of doctors at 7.45 p.m.

On Wednesday, to commemorate the first death anniversary of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, the Institute will pay homage to remember the beloved President and his ideals.

The Institute will also launch the Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Lecture Series, a platform where eminent personalities from different spheres would share their experience to amalgamate knowledge for all.

The First Lecture of the Series would be delivered at the commemoration event

by Dr. Manas K. Mandal, Distinguished Scientist and Director General – Life Sciences, Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO).

The lecture series will be the latest initiative by the institute amongst others.

Eight months back, the students initiated Nurturing Minds, a teaching programme for local school children with a focus to teach them subjects such as science and mathematics. Inspired by the Missile Man’s impetus for education, the students at IIM Shillong have spent their weekends teaching their younger counterparts.

FIR against Maliwal for naming raped teen in notice to police

NEW DELHI, JUL 26 (PTI): An FIR was on Tuesday registered against Delhi Commission for Women chief Swati Maliwal for allegedly mentioning in a notice to police the name of a 14-year-old Dalit girl, who died three days back after being raped repeatedly and forced to drink acid.

Maliwal, who was severely critical of police for not taking action against the the rape accused, has been booked for naming the girl in DCW’s notice in the case to the Station House Officer of Burari Police station. The FIR has been registered on a complaint by the SHO. The girl, who was allegedly kidnapped, raped and forced to drink corrosive material, died on Sunday after battling for life for over a month. She was first sexually assaulted in December. The accused Shivshankar, who was on bail in the first case, again allegedly kidnapped, tortured and raped the teenager in May. The victim’s parents are hospital sweepers. Maliwal dismissed the charge, saying she had not released the victim’s name and that she was not scared of the FIR. “DCW issues Notice to PS Burari for role in 14 year old girls case. 2 days later Delhi Police registers baseless FIR against me. Vendetta?

“My fault: Raised questions on failure of Delhi Police in protecting 14 year old girl. Will raise more issues.

Not scared of FIR. Jai Hind “Firstly, not released name of victim. Instead ensured proper medical care in Pvt Hospital.

Police arrested accused only after DCW Notice,” she said in a series of tweets. She also said why should the rape victim hide her identity? “Shouldn’t rapists be hiding? Is it the shame of a victim that she was subjected to cruelty?,” she said in another tweet. The DCW had issued a notice to police on July 22 ask-

ing how she was kidnapped and raped just before a court was scheduled to hear the case.

“A case was registered against Maliwal for revealing the name of the Burari rape victim under Section 228(a) (disclosure of identity of the victim of certain offences) of IPC at the Burari police station on a complaint by the concerned SHO,” said a senior police officer. The FIR against Maliwal came amidst outrage over the brutal assault and death of the teenager. After death of the girl, Maliwal had tweeted “How many Nirbhayas does Delhi want? We all simply wait for next Nirbhaya to die.” Slamming the police, she said she “never felt so helpless. The girl was fed a corrosive substance which completely destroyed her internal organs and she died a very painful death.” Maliwal had said it was only after the Commission issued notice to the DCP (North), the accused who was roaming free was arrested.

She had visited the victim the day the notice was issued by DCW to the SHO Burari.

tions,” the body said. Rajya Sabha on July 19 passed the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Amendment Bill which prohibits employment of children below 14 years in all occupations or processes except where the child helps his family, with the provision for imprisonment up to two years for any violation.

The bill makes employment of children below 14 years as cognizable offence for employers and provides for penalty for parents.

“Under the new Child Labour Act, some forms of child labour may become invisible and the most vulnerable and marginalised children may end up with irregular school attendance, lower levels of learning and could be forced to drop out of school. “Secondary enroll-

ment is still lagging behind, especially for the most vulnerable children, who are working,” said UNICEF India’s Chief of Education Euphrates Gobina.

The UN body said that there are approximately 10.2 million children working in India and there has been an overall decline in the number of boys and girls working, although child labour has increased in urban areas.

“This increase is mainly due to children migrating or being trafficked to work in hazardous small scale industries or construction sites. “Family or home-based work for children in India is often hazardous and includes working in cotton fields, making bangles and bidis, rolling tobacco, carpet weaving and metal work,” it said.

The incident took place around 3 AM when driver of the car lost control over the vehicle, apparently due to over-speeding near Baur village under Kamshet police station, inspector I S Patil said.

The deceased, believed to be students of various colleges in Pune, have been identified as Aditya Bhandarkar (17), Abhishek Roy (21), Yash Shirali (18), Rajaram Bhilare (20), Jokim Samuel (19) and Umesh Patil (24).

NEW DELHI, JUL 26 (AGENCIES): West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee pitched for an alternative front to take on the ruling BJP in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.

Banerjee, who is here for three days, met Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday and during an informal interaction in Central hall of Parliament, she said that she would support a coalition of parties or a front with “credible” leadership in 2019. She is also supposed to meet Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

“I am not against it (alternative or third front). But I do not want to be in the forefront, I want to remain in the background and provide support to a credible leadership in the interest of the people, in the interest of secular democracy,” she said, adding that she herself does not want to move out of Bengal, while replying to questions on whether she was working on the formation of a third front.

While the CM is slated to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and finance minister Arun Jaitley on Wednesday, she took a clear anti-BJP and anti-Centre line on Tuesday.

Mounting attack on the Centre, Banerjee said, “In the name of leakage, they (Centre) are depriving the poor, the downtrodden, the minorities, pension, scholarship and other funds.”

Interestingly, Banerjee did not sound too hostile

Mamata Banerjee even towards Congress, an erstwhile ally with whom relations had gone bitter, even as she avoided sounding too warm towards it, given that her arch rival Left, has joined hands with the Congress in her home state to counter TMC. Complaining about the Centre’s disregard towards the serious issue with debtstrapped states, like Bengal, Banerjee said even bigger states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan are part of it, apart from Kerala and Punjab.

“There are at least 10 to 12 states in this mess and unless the Centre does something about it, the states suffer. I had talked about it to the Prime Minister and suggested that a committee be set up look into it, but there has been no response,” she said. During her first visit to Parliament after her second term as chief minister, the TMC had leaders from across parties calling on her on Tuesday, including Darjeeling MP and Union minister S S Ahluwalia.

Will struggle to get Dalits their rights: Nitish

LUCKNOW, JUL 26 (PTI): Signalling new political equations in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar Tuesday said a lot of struggle is needed to ensure that Dalits get their rights and if required he will take it forward.

The JD(U) chief said his government has implemented a quota within quota in Bihar for ‘maha Dalits’, but still a lot needs to be achieved.

“At present Dalits are deprived of their rights in judicary and many other sectors.

A lot of work still needs to be done,” he said.

Over speculation of an alliance of JD(U) with smaller parties, Nitish said, “We are in favour of creating an organisation, which instead of working for itself, will work for the people.” Asking the leader of

Bahujan Samaj Swabhiman Sangharsh Samiti, popularly known as BS-4, RK Chaudhary to struggle till the time Dalits get justice, he assured support of his party.

BS-4 was formed by BSP founder Kanshiram Ram as an organisation of Dalit officers and employees.

“We will march ahead together and if got a chance, we will work together,” he said.

Nitish clarified that Chaudhary had invited him for today’s rally even before he had quit BSP. Raising the issue of a liquor ban in Uttar Pradesh, he said Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav should concentrate on his ‘samajwad’ ideologues -- Ram Manohar Lohia, Jai Prakash Narain, Bhim Rao Ambedkar, Sant Ravidas and Kabirdas and impose a complete ban on liquor.

Castes (SC) at 3.9 per cent, UNICEF India said that in both groups, children in rural areas are more likely to work than children from cities while many girls and boys working are forced to leave school.

“The provision, ‘where the child helps his family or family enterprises, which is other than any hazardous occupations or processes set forth in the Schedule, after his school hours or during vacations’ raises serious concerns, as it legitimizes family work and could further disadvantage children from poor families.

“The Committee should summon the PM along with me. If I am guilty, then the PM is 100 times more guilty,” Mann alleged.

A five-member Joint Investigation Team from Pakistan had visited Pathankot airbase in March to probe the attack carried out by Jaish-e-Mohammed terror group.

Alleging political vendetta, the AAP also claimed the Modi government is trying to arrest Mann in the case, “just like it has done with its other legislators”.

AAP leader Ashutosh said when the Speaker asked for an apology, Mann tendered it but she later said she will look into the matter.

“He gave an apology in writing. What happened after that and what kind of pressure was exerted that he is given a suspension notice saying now you don’t come to Parliament.

NEW DELHI, JUL 26 (PTI): A UN body Tuesday has expressed serious concern over the changes made in India’s child labour law which allows children to work in family enterprises and reduction of hazardous professions, saying it could lead to more children working in unregulated conditions.

Although UNICEF India welcomed the law which prohibits children under the age of 14 from working, it also expressed concern over the provision of children working in family enterprises as it could further “disadvantage” the most vulnerable children.

LUCKNOW, JUL 26 (PTI): The family of Mohammed Akhlaq, who was lynched by a mob in Dadri last year for alleged cow slaughter, Tuesday said it would move the Allahabad High Court against a recent court order directing a police case be filed against them for storing and consuming beef.

“The family will move a petition as soon as possible seeking stay on arrest,” counsel of Akhlaq’s family Asad Hayat told reporters here. National President of Rashtriya Ulama Council, Maulana Amir Rahsadi Madni alleged that evidences in the infamous Dadri lynching case were “tampered” and raised questions over reports of Dadri and Mathura lab reports on the sample of meat sent for examination. “First of all, the meat recovered was more than 150 metres away from Akhlaq’s house,” he said. The court order that a police case be filed against them came 10 days ago following a petition by a neighbour in their village Bisada. The petition was backed by those accused of Akhlaq’s murder. The neighbour has claimed that on September 26 last year, Akhlaq and his son Danish were seen beating the calf. Later, a villager saw Akhlaq holding down the calf while his brother killed it, the petition said.

Akhlaq’s son Sartaj, working with the Indian Air Force, told mediapersons here today there were many loopholes in the recent forensic report, after which the petition demanding legal action against the family was filed.

NEW DELHI, JUL 26 (PTI): AAP MP Bhagwant Mann Tuesday demanded suspension of Prime Minister from the House for “compromising” national security by “inviting ISI” to the Pathankot airbase and said the panel set to examine filming of Parliament complex by him should also summon Narendra Modi.

In a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan, Mann said the Prime Minister was “100 times more guilty” than him for “inviting ISI” to probe the January 2 terror attack on the airbase that had left seven security personnel dead.

“In 2001, ISI had attacked the Parliament Complex. And in 2016, it launched an attack on the Pathankot airbase. The PM invited the same ISI and took them around the airbase.

ISI made maps of the airbase and left,” Mann alleged.

“The way I have been suspended, even the Prime Minister, who is a member of the House, should be suspended for compromising the national security,” Mann told reporters.

Speaker Sumitra Mahajan has set up a panel to examine if Mann’s video compromised Parliament’s security. The panel had on Monday given the Sangrur MP time till July 28 to respond even as it decided to seek the views of experts on the issue.

Mann has been asked not to attend the House until the Committee gives its report.

One separate lab is designed and installed with integrated survey systems with modern scientific survey equipments like single and multi beam echo sounder for shallow and deep waters, sub bottom profiler, acoustic current profiler.

Parrikar also refuted claims of a senior Coast Guard official who said that the the Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) had not functioned during the Dornier crash also.

“I think the submarine finally located the Dornier with the same beeps. Initially sound might not have come due to depth of water but when the submarine went in there, they identified the location. Can’t say whether it is operating or not now but we have not been able to hear it,” he said.

Meanwhile, sources in the Air Force said the reason of the incident is too early to be ascertained but indicated that weather could have played a role.

“The weather was bad but the pilot had taken the required steps,” a senior source said.

Meanwhile, asked about Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti’s comment that process to revoke AFSPA must start on experimental basis, Parrikar said the call has to be taken by the Home Ministry.

Cheaters in sports

A

midst mounting reports of doping in sports, the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, could likely see the entire Russian contingent barred from contesting or if not, in a number of sports disciplines. Whatever way, such a decision will certainly rob or deprive Russia of its greatest pride – its consistent world record achievements in sports. Today, Russia could face more problems when the world sports bodies decide the fate(s) of either the sportspersons or the nation as a whole. What has shamed sports is the probe report which exposed how 15 Russian medal winners in the Winter Olympics in 2014 “cheated” by using performance enhancement drugs. The doping was said to be part of a state-run doping program, meticulously planned for years to ensure dominance at the Games, according to the director of the country’s antidoping laboratory at the time.

Due to the involvement of state , none of the Russian athletes were caught doping. More important, Russia won the most medals of the Games, easily surpassing its main rival, the United States, and undermining the integrity of one of the world’s most prestigious sporting events. The entire dark secret about the superb record breaking performance by Russian sportspersons was exposed by an insider and former Russian sports director, Grigory Rodchenkov, who ran the laboratory that handled testing for thousands of Olympians.

Grigory had fled to the US and gave a detailed account of how the Russian government sponsored and abetted doping in order to win laurels for the nation and to score political scores with the USA. Grigory said he developed a three-drug cocktail of banned substances that he mixed with liquor and provided to dozens of Russian athletes, helping to facilitate one of the most elaborate — and successful — doping ploys in sports history. The world of international sport is big business, driven by an increasing pressure to be the fastest and biggest in any field. Like the Olympic motto “Faster, Higher, Stronger” and as the stakes go up, so do the number of allegations of doping. The human body has its limitations to endurance and when the peak has been reached, the highest has been reached. Even runners who break world records have clocked their fastest. The weight lifters have also breached world records and have reached the maximum. This is when dope is administered to even do better to literally become supermen or superwomen of sports. A British doctor who allegedly prescribed performance-enhancing drugs to more than 150 athletes had revealed that doping is common among Premier League footballers, Tour de France cyclists, and international tennis players through several have denied the report.

Indian sports has also its share of dopers and this was exposed during the last Common Wealth Games 2010 in New Delhi. On the eve of the Rio Olympics and even as Russia faces a likely ban on its athletes, two Indians 74-m kg category Wrestler Narsingh Yadav and hot-putter Inderjeet Singh failed dope tests and would most unlikely be able to participate. They said they were not knowing about what was given to them and indicated, that their coaches fed them with diet supplements.

With so many scams tumbling out, it appears that there is definitely many things wrong in sports today-not only politicians but among the much venerated sportspersons.

DailyDevotion The Way to Purity

Those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart….For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things which defile a man… —Matthew 15:18-20 Initially we trust in our ignorance, calling it innocence, and next we trust our innocence, calling it purity. Then when we hear these strong statements from our Lord, we shrink back, saying, “But I never felt any of those awful things in my heart.” We resent what He reveals. Either Jesus Christ is the supreme authority on the human heart, or He is not worth paying any attention to. Am I prepared to trust the penetration of His Word into my heart, or would I prefer to trust my own “innocent ignorance”? If I will take an honest look at myself, becoming fully aware of my so-called innocence and putting it to the test, I am very likely to have a rude awakening that what Jesus Christ said is true, and I will be appalled at the possibilities of the evil and the wrong within me. But as long as I remain under the false security of my own “innocence,” I am living in a fool’s paradise. If I have never been an openly rude and abusive person, the only reason is my own cowardice coupled with the sense of protection I receive from living a civilized life. But when I am open and completely exposed before God, I find that Jesus Christ is right in His diagnosis of me.

The only thing that truly provides protection is the redemption of Jesus Christ. If I will simply hand myself over to Him, I will never have to experience the terrible possibilities that lie within my heart. Purity is something far too deep for me to arrive at naturally. But when the Holy Spirit comes into me, He brings into the center of my personal life the very Spirit that was exhibited in the life of Jesus Christ, namely, the Holy Spirit, which is absolute unblemished purity.

(Ajikali Nagaland te politics to kineka ase.)

ladimir Putin, when asked to comment on the behavior of his countrymen in the recent riot of Soccer fans in the European Football Championship in France, is reported to have said: “I truly don’t understand how 200 of our (Russian) fans could beat up several thousands of English”, When they heard the comment, Russians laughed aloud and chanted –“Russkie Vperyod” (Forward Russians); and even Russian Soccer Federation Deputy Chairman Lebedev joined!

Indeed, with forethought and experience; a few hooligans can rout a much bigger group in a militarized brawl.

A little treachery is useful in outwitting a powerful rival and, if you don’t get caught, you are not a thief!

Putin’s moral bearing appears off the Mark for a permanent UN Security Council Member responsible for maintaining Peace in the World.

NSCN (IM) politics and political principles: The NSCN (IM) completely dominates Political Atmosphere in Nagaland today 2016 and have sometimes appeared a little like Vladimir Putin!

The 3rd August 2015 Indo-IM Accord is said to be of Principles of the Talk, and the details of the Talk may not be disclosed prematurely but keeping the Principles of the Talk in Secret, is to seriously de-humanize the encourageable Talk.

In the political horizon of the Naga, two issues are of paramount importance and the Naga jealously guards them almost sacrosanct. These 2 Issues are -Sovereignty and IntegrationSovereignty is normally considered an absolute indivisible Right of a Nation or of a State. It is the sovereign Right of an Independent State. In personal term, this absolute Right and Independence of the State is like Wife and Husband that can not be shared with any others.

The IM interprets Sovereignty as something that can be ‘Shared between two Nation States’ and enigmatically defined it as being ‘in the mind of the people’.

Sovereignty of an Independent State is not divisible; it cannot be shared with any others, neither with neighbor States nor with other friendly States. And Sovereignty is not something that exist only in the mind of the people only as if it is not necessary in Reality. Sovereignty is not like Peace of Mind in Mahatma Gandhi even while in Jail. Sovereignty in the People without Political Sovereignty of the State, has no meaning. It is a fallacy to say Sovereignty is in the People as if it is not necessary in the State.

If ‘Sovereignty in the people’

(From previous issue) To many, the state government run by sixty publicly elected representatives seems to be the ideal and legitimate people’s authority, yet, the same state government becomes a self-seeking authority to aggrandise only the privileged ruling members siphoning the public exchequer with no or less sense of responsibility towards the subject.

The public franchise more or less is a fraud with money and muscle clearly dictating the process over and over again every five year or sometimes mid-term poll. The public office only becomes a post-box where letters of public grievances fills to the brim with no action taken or the letters hardly read. Every official business is conducted under hand in silence which is deafening.

The sixty elected members in reality becomes a representative of money manipulated bogus electorate tottering to the dictates of more powerful GoI, the Naga UGs and few powerful lobby groups like the apex tribal organisations and finally at the mercy of the shrewd and greedy bureaucracy.

Public welfare occupies the last of neglected priority which remains a mere unfulfilled slogan from the time of election to the next election and goes on and on like chasing the wind endlessly.

The pathetic infrastructures, roads and other poor civic amenities speaks volumes of the state of affairs. Caught in such whirlwind, where do the common Nagas stand today?

From the illiterate, leastliterate to highly educated, government jobs stands out as the only and the most covetous prize which every Nagas zealously pursues their whole life as if the whole purpose of life in Nagaland is to only acquire a government job so as to not work and eat like their elected representatives whose sole purpose is none but money and only money. Yet, justifiable it is! so why ask for quality and honest public leadership when you elect them only for money

suffices ‘Sovereignty of the Nation’, then: India has would have no political Problem in Kashmere, Hyderabad need not have been militarily captured from the Nizam, Manipur is still a semi-Independent State.

Dalai Lama would have no dispute with China, All the other States of India would have made a beeline to RN. Ravi and Modi for similar Accord!

If Sovereignty is in the People, then the Naga Club Petition to the Simon Commission in 1929 has no historical value and the Naga Political Movement for Freedom no meaning.

The Naga is fighting neither for Shared Sovereignty nor for Sovereignty in the People. Sovereignty is not divisible; it is Real and Sovereign, nothing can replace it.

If India says Naga Sovereignty is not in ‘the Realms of possibilities’ and outside the framework of the Constitution; then let Muivah and Raising tell the Truth to the Naga Public.

The Public would then sympathize with them and feel drawn to them.

Otherwise the Public of Nagaland would ask: ‘Is the Government of India fooling the IM or the IM is fooling the GoI? Who is fooling whom?’

But none can fool the Constitution of India because: A part of a Constitution cannot contradict the other part of the same Constitution.

Nagaland is safeguarded by Art. 371A of the Constitution of India and cannot be put under Pan Naga Hoho. The State can not come under a District Autonomy of the Pan Naga Hoho.

Autonomy for Naga inhabited Areas of the other States is a very welcome proposition, but the State concerned must consents. That Autonomy must be done with the consent of all Communities concerned in the area of the States and the Autonomy must have wide range of Freedom..

Position of Nagaland state in the indo-im accord: Because of the GoI inability to Integrate all the Naga inhabited Areas, saying it is “OUTSIDE THE REALMS OF POSSIBILITIES” and because of the Special Constitutional Provision already in the State of Nagaland, the later has nothing much to do with the 3rd August 2015 Indo-IM Accord, until all the Naga Areas of the other States are integrated with Nagaland.

Till then Nagaland must exist a separate entity from the Accord like Britain exited from the European Union. This should be the Stand of the State of Nagaland but the State decision makers have all exited from the

and government job which they provide you during election and during their time in elected office?

Also why denounce the Naga national workers, when you yourself do not want to commit or sacrifice for the cause but instead seek white collared jobs, government jobs and other comfortable means and ways of making a living, instead only the outcasts, illiterate or ill educated and desperados are sent to keep up the Naga struggle while you continue to live safe and comfortable in you homes?

Why blame the divisions among NPGs when you only love yourself and do not tolerate even your close neighbour, friends and colleagues or other tribes or communities?

Don’t you see that it’s hilarious that NPGs are mostly (not all) run by your own kit and kin who failed to make an impression in other public leaderships that they as a last resort go for national leaderships?

Need not even blame the Churches entirely, for the Church leaderships are manned mostly by School and college drop outs or academically weak and failing to make a dent in other competitive avenues that they finally go for theology and return to assume the Church stewardships. The Naga Churches in a way or the other condone public corruption for their open act of soliciting donations and grants to the church treasury from the rich and corrupt public officials and the dirty national workers.

The bureaucracy that drives the government are the most learned and enlightened section of people, the elites who monopolises and manipulates the seats of powers and various intricacies within the corridors of power which can never be made transparent to the people, the people are thus naturally kept aloof from the corrupt labyrinthine as a way of bureaucratic privilege and thus thrive at the expense of public exchequer and the ignorant but collaborating and ever complying political bosses.

The apex Naga tribal bodies, students, youth etc cannot

Responsibility. This can be proposed by an Organization exclusively dealing with Nagaland State.

The Naga Club was only a Club of Government Servants and in its present disposition, it may better not deal in Politics. The Naga Hoho is a Pan Naga Organization, not exclusively of Nagaland alone. Under the circumstances, the Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) is the Organization the most appropriate exclusively for Nagaland. The Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) must function for what Nagaland should do. The NTC must function for taking Nagaland out of the 3rd August Accord. No outsider can decide for Nagaland.

To do that, however, the NTC must first have the Mandate of the People from each and every Village Councils of Nagaland. Nagaland must decide for itself.

The ENPO may move to get Special Treatment from Nagaland just like Nagaland has special consideration from India. To move for a separate State, it may be too long a shot for the muzzle loading Gun and the Prey may be beyond the Range.

The ENPO may continue as an NGO sans Politics for the economic wellbeing of the Area.

The 3rd August 2015 Accord requires some clarifications: I. What is not in India’s ‘the Realms of possibilities’?

II. What are the Naga Sentiments India understand?

III. What is the Unique Naga History India understands?

IV. What in the Talk, is ‘Within the framework and what is outside the framework of the Constitution’?

The IM alone however can not be blamed for everything gone awry in Naga Politics. The Naga Politics had Weaknesses of Ignorance and of Incompetence’s, even Treachery. Anyway, this is not the Time to dwell on all of those things in detail, unless the Writer is interested to write a Thesis on the Subject to get a prefix ‘Dr’ to his name like some nice Theologians in Nagaland.

Foundation of Naga political movement: Firstly, Had the British Colonial Power come to Naga Hills 10 years late, the Hindu Civilization would have swamped the Naga traditional Customary Practices with their Caste System. The Caste System is completely alien to Naga life and the casteless colonial Power delaying a little in their coming to the Northeast, would have the Hillman overwhelmed by the Caste System of India.

Christianity protected the whole Hillman of the Northeast from the hegemony of a despicable Caste System, and the Dobashi Petition of 1929 to the Simon Commission for a

separate life of the Naga from India, sowed the seed of the Naga’s forward Movement for Freedom.

The Naga must thank the NSCN (IM) also, for taking Christianity to Pagan Nagas of Myanmar, albeit with a little of the weight of the barrel of the Gun. This is a historical contribution the NSCN made for the Naga, it will be remembered for many, many centuries into the future.

The Rongmei Naga would be making a historic blunder if they take the BJP bait of Gaidinliu into the cursed Hindu Caste System!

The abhorrent Caste discrimination and inequality in the Hindu Society is completely incompatible to Equity in the Naga Culture.

The Foundation of Socialism is in oddity to the individual freedom of life in the Naga Society. Socialism is tangent to personal freedom, the Colonial Officers observed in the Naga as the Purest Form of Democracy imaginable. The Naga Ethos is Freewill Democratic Equity, not Socialism.

One of the most poignant thing seen for the first time in Nagaland politics for the last 15years since the creation of the State of Nagaland on 1st December 1963, is the appropriation of theState Decisionmaking Body from Nagaland by people from Outside Nagaland. People from outside Nagaland has become the decisionmakers for Nagaland. Outsiders are making decisions for Nagaland in; - Selection of Assembly Candidates, Elections, Projects formulations, Awards of Contracts, Appointments, Transfer & Posting of Government Servants; even Legislation of Land Laws in Nagaland Assembly have been influenced by people from outside the State. The 60 MLAs of Nagaland have abdicated their Responsibilities to the State!

The partisan dominance in the decision making Body in the IM Organization, by people from Manipur, -10 out of 13 in Cabinet Rank, -Muivah, Atem, Raising, Ramkathing, Shimrah, Luingam, Horam, Phungthing, Puni, Chawang from Manipur; Toqu, Tongmet, Jami from Nagaland- is the Finger on the Wall of what may befall a Socialist State of Nagalim under the Government of the National Socialist Council of Nagalim. Socialism principally is a Dictatorship of the Majority; the Individual is the property of the State, unfortunately compulsorily.

Such partisan dealings generate tendency to downgrade the universal dependence on length of Service for good Governance leading to a decrease in the quality of the Government by giving out-of-the-way preferences arbitrarily by a Pick & Choose Practice. Socialism is at odd

National ideology

but become pro-government for the slice of Judas treasury.

And the national workers spare no efforts to make themselves richer every day without bothering to introspect the vacillating mass support thus jeopardising the inherent historical and political legacy of the Nagas nurtured by the sacrificial lives, blood and resources of our pioneers who gave everything of theirs for our today. Now what ours of today are we sacrificing for the Nagas of tomorrow?

Every day we hear every leader talk of Naga unity but every day we see the birth of new breakaway organisations, NNC/FGN now have at the least five-six NNC/FGN, four NSCNs, NNG, SRF etc and the apex Naga Hoho is on the verge of getting itself dismantled into various regional and exclusive narrow tribal based cliques such as the UNC, Tenyimi Union, ENPO, NTC, CNTC etc all in quest of self-fulfilment at the expense of Naga unity, it happens because the voting matters and majority votes lobbied by certain divisive groups always rules the roost. Division is thus perpetuated equally at every level both over ground or underground. The blame game goes on and on with every concerned sticking to one’s own right but seldom admits that own-self is responsible for the mess.

Few intellectual expositions to steer the Nagas towards the right direction is lost in the “crowd of commotion” and becomes often a lone voice in the wilderness of materialism, unethical and unjust socio-politico-eco and religious quagmire in the daily quest of the Nagas at large today.

The often misunderstood ACAUT’s “one government one tax” and anti-corruption movement, the NBCC backed NLTP Act and clean election campaign are the few notable genuine pursuits genuinely failing due to overall indifference of the Nagas in practice.

To many it may sound theocratic or religiously extreme, but if the Nagas makes an in-depth examination of ourselves and the consequences

of mangled society we tolerate and adjusts ourselves to though uncomfortably. The answer i believe lies in each one of us and our nominal Christian way of life.

Our failure to faithfully adhere to the covenant “Nagaland for Christ” is the root of all our sufferings. The covenant is not only meant for the Naga national workers and the NBCC or other churches but for each Naga to live up to it. The land and the people will remain accursed until we fulfil our part of the bargain of the covenant. Our everyday life must reflect the spirit of covenant. Whereas the major bulk of the Nagas have chosen to live a life equally or worse than idol worshippers.

From Church, public office, national workers, civil bodies to a mere commoner, material prosperity, pleasures and comforts, privileges and opportunities, physical and mortal well beings has become the priorities of life and the means to achieve these goals are sought after with every conceivable immoral and illegal tools that comes handy.

We question the illegalities and immoralities only when we are deprived of or find ourselves compromised by the very unethical practices which we practice every day. Hardly do we question ourselves. Also the neutrality of our moral institutions and spiritual abodes like the churches, the nexus of the rich-politician-mafiaspolice-NPGs silencing thus the voice of the oppressed etc has become so gross that the Nagas are getting ourselves choked to death and poverty of spirituality, righteousness and justness has become so glaring.

When a nation and the people embracing Christianity religiously without spirituality and promotes and practices every vice contrary to the teachings of Christ to whom we dedicates our land, the predicament we are placed at is no alien but the creation of our own choice of living.

Nation building and national deliverance applies not only to political freedom from

with freewill democratic equity of the Naga.

The 4th Article of the 3rd August 2015 Indo-IM Accord has: “all natural resources found in the Naga area below the ground and on the surface will belong to the Nagas”.This lends credence to what this Writer has described above the Agenda of a Socialist Government. The 4th Item of the Accord grievously deviates from the traditional customary practices the Naga followed from time immemorial and even Indian Parliament honors the practice unless desired otherwise and voted so by the legislative Assembly of Nagaland.

The Naga is co-operative and does not like Socialist compulsion of co-operation in which the Individual Freedom is caged. Britain exercised its Sovereignty and exited from the European Union on 23 June 2016 after many years of association with the EU. Many in Britain felt the EU Parliament has encroached on Britain’s Sovereignty. There is nothing such as ‘Shared Sovereignty’.

The inability of the GoI for agreeing to Naga Passport is a clear example of the impossibility of Shared Sovereignty. The non-recognition of the IM Flag by the GoI as equal and separate from that of the Indian Tricolor is based on Universal practice of One Nation: One Flag. The IM Flag is a replica of earlier and original NNC (Naga National Council) flag adopted long before the NSCN was born.

One mark of lack of depth and Reality in the present Naga generation is the unmanageable desire of the various nongovernmental Civil Organizations (NGO) of every persuasion, meddling in every political affair in Nagaland today. The APO, the Ao Senden, the Lotha Hoho, the Sümi Kaghakulu, the ENPO, the CNTC, the NTC, the Naga Hoho, Naga Mother Association, the NSF, the ANTABA....; so and so forth; talking, discussing, negotiating, threatening, issuing ultimatums, warning, banning, blockading, agreements made with and to everybody in the World; has cheapened Naga Politics.

At this rate, People may become tired of Naga Politics and become disinterested in the NAGA. Leave the profitable Political Affairs to the uncontrollable mushrooming Political Groups germinating in the blessed land of the Naga and have a good night’s sleep!

By the way: Nagaland State had 15 minutes (fifteen Minutes, not 1115 minutes and not even One and Half Day) for discussions in their Summer Session of the Assembly!!?

Thepfulhouvi solo, (ANGAMI_T@YAHOO.CO.IN)

the occupation of India and Myanmar but cleansing ourselves from the very bondage of sins that binds us and to rededicate ourselves to the solemn covenant “Nagaland for Christ” for which and only through which can we attain our cherished destiny as “free people and nation” once again.

India and Myanmar comparatively the massive, strong and rich opponents wielding high prominence in global and regional politics can only be defeated through Christ and Christ alone.

With the present trend of immoralities in almost every aspects of life be it public leadership, public office, national struggle for independence or individual life, decay is setting in progressively and besides the destruction of bodies/institution that preserves ourselves as Nagas, the deathless ideology and indestructible principle-

the sovereign, independent aspiration is critically on the verge of virtual destruction unless we realise and salvage ourselves from the impending total doom.

The ideology once defeated will be beyond redemption, therefore before the Nagas are completely routed of this cherished ideology and gets consigned to perennial slavery, may we ask ourselves what roles can each of us play in restoring sanctity in the land and rekindle the hope of our people so that a day may dawn when each of us may truly bask in the glory and providence of “Nagaland for Christ”. With bodies and institutions divided and destroyed, the national ideology now has become the target of the enemy...

Appeal to CM on road condition of Zunheboto

Sir,

I on behalf of the citizens of Zunheboto and people living around the Eastern Sumi area would like to furnish a few lines to the chief minister of Nagaland for the kind consideration and necessary action.

The roads condition plying Zunheboto to Kohima and Dimapur are totally broken down by incessant rain and non maintenance by the concerned department. The roads connecting to Zunheboto namely Kohima via Chozuba-Satakha, Kohima via Pughoboto-Satakha and Kohima via WokhaAsukhuto Polytechnic etc are all deserted and it takes hurdles journey with stuck mud and half swept landslide in almost every nook and corner. People are now helpless whom to seek help to repair the unattended roads and commuters are also wondering which roads to travel. The daily taxi carrier and other public service transport are endangered to route away the passengers for the safe destination.

Sir, therefore it is my earnest request that the people of Zunheboto need good roads for safe journey and also beseech your benign intervention at the earliest to repair the roads for the interest of citizens of Zunheboto and also for the benefit of other districts.

Vihepu Yeputhomi, Zunheboto

Protesters shout slogans during a protest rally against the killing of civilians after the state authorities lifted 17 days curfew, in Srinagar on Tuesday. (PTI) SRINAGAR, JUL 26 (PTI): A 61-year-old man died in a road accident during clashes in the city and 14 others were injured in action by security forces across Kashmir on Tuesday even as protests erupted again in some areas after authorities lifted curfew from the entire Valley except Anantnag town.

Mushtaq Ahmad, a resident of Rajouri Kadal in the city, lost control of his scooty when he was caught in clashes between protesters and security forces in Eidgah area of the city, a police official said. He said the retired government employee suffered head injuries after falling from the two-wheeler.

He was rushed to SKIMS hospital Soura where he succumbed to his injuries.

Elsewhere in the city, people staged protest rallies in Jehnagir Chowk, Batamaloo,

Gojwara and Eidgah against the recent civilian killings in action by security forces.

Police and CRPF personnel fired tearsmoke shells and crowd control weapons to break the rallies, resulting in injuries to eight persons, the official said.

He said stone-pelting incidents took place in Chanapora and Natipora areas in the civil lines areas of the city but no injuries were reported.

In Anantnag district’s Malaknag area, protesters took to streets, leading to clashes with the law enforcing agencies, the official said.

He said six persons were injured in the clashes.

Authorities today lifted curfew from all parts of Kashmir, except Anantnag town, after 17 days of unrest in the valley in which 47 persons were killed and 5,500 others

injured in violent clashes following killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani in an encounter with security forces.

Although the lifting of curfew coincided with the separatist camp suspending the strike after 2.00 pm today till tomorrow morning, most parts of the Valley continue to observe shutdown.

The commercial hub of Lal Chowk and adjoining areas remained closed even after 2.00 pm while only groceries and shops selling essentials were opened in other parts of the Valley, the official said.

Mobile telephony, mobile internet services and train services remained suspended for 18th day while schools, colleges and other educational institutions were closed due to a strike called by the separatist groups.

NTC consultative meet on ‘Naga Peace Process’ (From p-1) Meanwhile, NTC media cell and secretary, I&P, Theja Therieh, told Nagaland Post that the meeting also discussed elaborately on the 4-point agreement made by Bharat Bhushan on the framework agreement between Government of India and NSCN (I-M). Pointing out that since Government of India and NSCN (I-M) have not come forward and denied the points made by Bharat Bhushan, he said that the people were voicing out “that it maybe the nearest to the truth”. Therieh said “since content was not made known to any of us we have to go on speculative way”.

He said that if Bharat Bhushan’s statement was true then there were “so many things to be apprehensive about.” Asked on R.N Ravi’s statement that he had explained the contents of the framework agreement to tribal hohos and civil society organizations, Therieh said that Ravi cannot claim that framework content was made known to the civil bodies. He said that at no point in time Ravi had given a clear framework agreement point.

Therieh said “we have asked him to clarify on Bhushan’s statement but he declined to give any statement. So, from there we gathered that the Bhusan statement maybe very true in reality”. He said resource persons at the meeting included KK Sema, Thepfulhouvi Solo and Z. Lohe, while ENPO vice president, Sumi Hoho president, Lotha hoho president, senior advocate Taka Masa on behalf of Ao Senden and representatives from various tribes also spoke on the meeting.

Graft case: Court grants bail to Kejriwal’s ex-Principal Secy the sum of Rs 1,00,000 with one surety of the like amount,” the court said.

“The present case is admittedly based on documents.

The accused had joined investigation as and when called by CBI and has also been interrogated in custody. Accused is a senior government servant.

“The allegation as to whether the company M/s Endeavour Systems Pvt Ltd was promoted at his behest or in what manner he was concerned with the same can only be analysed during the course of the trial.

“The CBI has also admittedly collected documents showing the impugned money trail. Once again, in what manner the present accused is connected with the same can only be analysed during the course of the trial,” the judge observed.

ISIS terror module: Judicial custody of 7 accused extended fund-raiser. He also participated in key conspiracy meetings, according to NIA. Following some prior probe, the NIA had on June 22 lodged an FIR for criminal conspiracy to wage war against the Government of India and made the arrests.

In its remand application submitted to the court earlier, the agency had said the five accused (arrested on June 29) procured weapons and explosive material to carry out terrorist attacks at public places, religious sites and sensitive government buildings in various parts of India and was in touch with ISIS members in Syria.

government contracts worth over Rs 50 crore.

CBI had registered a case against Kumar and others in December last year alleging that the officer had abused his official position by “favouring a particular firm in the last few years in getting tenders of Delhi government departments”.

The accused have been charged under section 120-B of IPC (criminal conspiracy) and provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act relating to criminal misconduct for allegedly favouring ESPL in bagging of five contracts.

CBI has alleged that the accused persons had entered into a criminal conspiracy and caused a loss of Rs 12 crore to the Delhi government in award of contracts between 2007 and 2015, and claimed that the officials had taken “undue benefit” of over Rs three crore while awarding the contracts.

NEW DELHI, JUL 26 (IANS): Supreme Court on Tuesday stressed that customs and traditions have to pass a legal and constitutional test, telling Tamil Nadu which held ‘Jallikattu’ (bull fighting) was a 5,000-year-old sport and should not be stopped for being allegedly cruel to the bull, that child marriage was also an age-old tradition before it was outlawed.

As senior counsel Shekhar Naphade, appearing for Tamil Nadu, said that Jallikattu was 5,000-year-old tradition, the bench of Justice Dipak Misra and Justice Rohinton Fali Nariman said that in 1999 about 12,000 child marriages took place in which the girls were under 12 years of age.

As the court indicated that not everything in the name of age-old tradition or ancient practices would be allowed to

RJD not to field candidates in UP poll: Lalu GOPALGANJ (BIHAR), JUL 26 (PTI): RJD President Lalu Prasad On Tuesday said his party would not field any candidate in the 2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly election and would work in favour of “secular” forces.

“RJD will not field any candidate in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh election,” he told reporters in his native district here.

The RJD chief said his party’s prime objective was to defeat communal forces led by BJP and RSS. “The party would work in favour of secular forces in the UP polls,” he said.

Asked if he would extend assistance to the ruling Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh, Prasad said, “SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav is my ‘samdhi’ and I will definitely take special care of him.”

While Prasad has announced that his party would keep away from UP polls, his major ally in the grand secular alliance in Bihar, JD(U) is active in the northern state.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar who is also national President of JD(U) went to Lucknow today in connection with celebration of Chhatrapati Sahu Jee Maharaj’s birth anniversary, organised by Bahujan Samaj Swabhiman Sanghrash Samiti of R K Chaudhary, aide-turned foe of BSP chief Mayawati.

continue without being tested on the touchstone of prevailing laws, Naphade said: “Custom has to be reasonable.”

“Whether these kind (Jallikattu) of sports are permitted under the law or not,” said the bench, pointing out that first they have to pass statutory test and ultimately the constitutional tests.

“You convince that judgment (of May 7, 2014) is wrong. If my learned brother (Justice Nariman) agrees and I am bit convinced we will refer it to a larger bench,” Justice Misra told Naphade.

The top court by its May 7, 2014 order had banned Jallikattu, saying that bulls could not be used as performing animals, either for Jallikattu events or bullock-cart races.

Holding that all these events per se violated the Prevention of Cruelty against Animals Act, the apex court

(From p-1) Because of ENSF’s strong demand, Zeliang said the Backward Tribe Commission has been passed and waiting for final approval. On the demand of the ENSF, he said many local teachers have been appointed recently and urged the teachers to make a difference by performing their duty sincerely.

Informing that the government was in the process of bringing out the Nagaland Vision Document, the chief minister appealed to each and everyone to contribute to the Vision Document for effective strategy and planning.

He also informed that the student bodies have been requested to carry out survey and find the detail educational statistics of their respective tribe and submit

the report within 10 days so as to include them in the vision document and allow the government of India and Nagaland to know the unemployment problem in Nagaland.

Pointing out that approximately 1,40,000 out of 20 lakh population of the state were government employee, which constituted about 7% of the total population, the chief minister appealed to the student community not to expect resolving unemployment problem in the state through government job/services.

On Naga political issue, Zeliang reiterated that an opposition-less government, comprising of all 60 legislators was formed under his leadership in order to pave way for inclusive and lasting solution.

No work, all compensation...

(From p-1) On the existence of uncountable unions and organisations in the state, Vikheho lamented that, despite their (unions) noble intentions, the trend has resulted in further fragmentation of the Naga society.

“Who do we blame for all this? Instead of blaming someone, can we look for restoring a united Naga society?” he appealed.

For the society to truly progress to its fullness, Vikheho said every person should start thinking of themselves as a Naga first and tribe later.

“The affinity only towards ones tribe and blind towards others have really hampered the growth of our society,” he rued.

Further, Vikheho reminded the students that mere strength and ability were useless without wisdom and that wisdom comes from God alone. He therefore urged them to seek wisdom from God in their life journey.

Seeking the restoration of January 7, 2016 notification by the Ministry of Environment and Forest which was put on hold by the top court on January 12, it referred to another chapter of Mahabharata linking Lord Krishna with a bullfight to marry Princess Naganajiti. Lord Krishna, the affidavit, says tamed “seven bulls to merry Princess Naganajiti, daughter of King Nagnajit of Kosala Kingdom which latter prospered into a tradition in the Velir Kingdom of Tamil Nadu”.

The tradition of taming a bull to marry “was observed as a Yadava festival where a Yadava boy had to prove his mettle by fighting a bull to marry a Yadava girl”, the affidavit said.

He, however, lamented that such opportunity has been delayed due to lack of unity and integrity amongst the Nagas.

Zeliang also emphasized on improvement and development of road, which was essential for all round development. He highlighted new highways approved by the central government.

Opening session was attended by home minister Y.Patton, minister of PHED Tokheho, minister of RD&REPA CL John, minister of H& FW P. Longon, advisors, parliamentary secretaries, and MLAs. Minister of H&FW and ENLU chairman, P .Longon, who was guest of honour, and ENPO president Khoiwang, who was as special guest, also exhorted the gathering.

AAP to release ‘Dalit Manifestos’ NEW DELHI, JUL 26 (PTI): At a time assaults on Dalits have turned into a political hot potato, the Aam Aadmi Party has decided to launch ‘Dalit Manifestos’ in poll-bound Punjab, Goa and Gujarat to “expose the anti-Dalit and Manuwadi” side of BJP. Party sources said that the manifestos, which would be specifically targeted at the Dalit community, will deliberate extensively on the “systemic oppression” against them in the states and the highlight the lack of an agenda to include them in the societal development.

H Y D E R A BA D, J U L 2 6 (PTI): A local court on Tuesday extended till August 24 the judicial custody of seven city-based persons, who were arrested by NIA in connection with a suspected ISIS terror module busted by the agency here. The seven accused, including two key members Naimathullah Hussaini alias Yasir and Mohammed Ataullah Rehman, who are currently lodged in Chanchalguda Central Prison here, were produced before Metropolitan Sessions Judge K Rajkumar through video linkage as their judicial custody ended today.

The court further remanded all of them in judicial custody till August 24.

The NIA had initially arrested five members of the module - Mohammed Ibrahim Yazdani alias Ibbu, Habeeb Mohammed alias Sir, Mohammed Ilyas Yazdani, Abdullah Bin Ahmed Al Amoodi and Muzaffar Hussain Rizwan on June 29 after a series of searches at 10 locations in Old City here.

Subsequently, Rehman, who was claimed to have played a key role in plotting terror strikes and also involved in radicalising others, was arrested along with Yasir on July 12.

Rehman allegedly administered them (group members of the Hyderabad module) ‘Bayáh’ - oath of allegiance to the ISIS chief Abu Baghdadi. Yasir was appointed the “amir” (chief) of the Hyderabad module and was its main

“The best way central banks can support growth over the medium term is by keeping inflation low and stable. It is necessary to build institutions to ensure macroeconomic stability. This is why successive governments, in their wisdom, have given the RBI a measure of independence,” Rajan said.

He said the Narendra Modi government had shown commitment to low inflation through a formal inflation target and the creation of a monetary policy committee.

He said the slowdown in the growth of non-food credit by public sector banks was not because of lack of demand or capital, nor was it because of high interest rates but largely due to stress in public sector banks, stemming from past mistakes in lending.

Mumbai, Jul 26 (PTI): The rupee recouped by 8 paise to end at 67.27 against the American currency on fag-end selling of dollars by banks and exporters in view of sustained foreign capital inflows into domestic equities.

The Committee will submit its report within a period of four months. In a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said that while making its recommendations the 7th Pay Commission has duly taken into account the likely financial impact of its recommendations on the ratio of expenditure on Pay, Allowances and Pension (PAP) to GDP and the fiscal deficit target.

The Commission estimated 0.65 per cent increase in PAP as percentage of GDP in 2016-17 as a result of implementation of its recommendations and the total impact of its award is less than that of the 6th Pay Commission, he said.

“The Commission has, therefore expressed the view that this represents an extremely reasonable increase in PAPGDP ratio in the initial year of the award and has felt that the macroeconomic impact of its recommendations is in conformity with the need for fiscal prudence and macro economic stability,” Jaitley said.

The Union Cabinet had last month accepted the recommendation of Justice A K Mathur headed panel in respect of the hike in basic pay and pension but a decision on its suggestions relating to allowances has been referred to a Committee headed by Finance Secretary.

The Pay Commission had recommended abolition of 53 out of 196 allowances that the government employees currently get and moderation in several others.

“Till a final decision on allowances is taken based on the recommendations of this Committee, all allowances will continue to be paid at existing rates in existing pay structure, as if the pay had not been revised with effect from January 1, 2016,” it said The recommendations cover 47 lakh central government employees and 53 lakh pensioners. This include 14 lakh serving employees and 18 lakh pensioners in defence forces.

Mumbai, Jul 26 (IANS): Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Raghuram Rajan on Tuesday said that governments must protect the independence of their central banks for a stable sustainable growth.

“It is important that governments around the world look beyond sometimes uninformed and motivated public criticism and protect the independence of their central bank to act. That is essential for stable sustainable growth,” Rajan told the 10th Statistics Day Conference here.

Criticism of the central bank using arguments unsupported by evidence was widespread, he said.

hostage-taking were not yet clear, but the Paris prosecutor’s office said the case was being handled by anti-terrorism prosecutors.

Five people were inside the church when it came under attack, interior ministry spokesman Pierre Henry Brandet said.

He said the church was surrounded by France’s antigang brigade the BRI, which specialises in kidnappings, and that “the two assailants came out and were killed by police”.

The priest died after having his throat slit, sources close to the investigation told AFP. The archbishop of the nearby city of Rouen, Dominique Lebrun, named him as 84-year-old Jacques Hamel.

Three of the hostages were freed unharmed, and another was fighting for their life, said Brandet.

Pope Francis voiced his

“pain and horror” at the “barbaric killing” of the priest.

France remains on high alert nearly two weeks after Tunisian Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel ploughed a truck into a crowd of people celebrating Bastille Day in Nice, killing 84 people and injuring over 300.

President Francois Hollande, who is from Rouen, and Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve were on their way to the scene, their offices said.

An AFP journalist said the scene of the attack was crawling with emergency vehicles and police.

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls expressed his horror at what he called “a barbaric attack on a church”.

“The whole of France and all Catholics are wounded.

We will stand together,” he wrote on Twitter.

Lebrun urged all nonbelievers to join those of the church in “calling to God”.

Ankara, Jul 26 (AFP): Turkey today detained prominent journalists and two top generals serving abroad in a widening of the relentless legal crackdown after the July 15 coup that has caused growing alarm in the West.

The coup, which tried to unseat President Recep Tayyip Erdogan but lost momentum within hours, has sent shockwaves through all aspects of life in Turkey which are still being felt almost two weeks on.

Over 13,000 people have been detained and tens of thousands more have lost their jobs over the coup, which the Turkish authorities blame on the reclusive Pennsylvania-based Islamic preacher Fethullah Gulen. The crackdown and announcement of a threemonth state of emergency has prompted sharp exchanges with the European Union, which Turkey has for years sought to join but which has sternly warned Ankara to obey the rule of law.

Bernie Sanders endorses Hillary Clinton Philadelphia, Jul 26 (PTI): Ending months of animosity, US senator Bernie Sanders today “proudly” endorsed former rival Hillary Clinton who he said will make an “outstanding” president as the choice between her and Republican nominee Donald Trump is “not even close”.

“Based on her ideas and her leadership – Hillary Clinton must become the next president of the United States.

The choice is not even close,” 71-year-old Sanders said in his address to the Democratic National Convention which kicked off here.

“Hillary Clinton will make an outstanding president and I am proud to stand with her here tonight,” said the Senator from Vermont who during the primary election season gave some sleepless nights to the former Secretary of State by winning as many as 23 primaries. During the

Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton primaries, 13 million Americans voted for him, giving him the 1,846 pledged delegates here tonight – 46 percent of the total.

Sanders who, to the surprise of many, attracted millions of supporters during

the primary season espousing his “political revolution” that would provide free health care, free education, increase minimum wage and impose taxes on the rich, asserted that the other option before Americans this presidential election is not

CONDOLENCE MESSAGE

worth it.

The endorsement by Sanders who has been a thorn in Clinton’s side over the last year ends a lengthy and awkward — period in which many were wondering if and how he would back Clinton.

“In these stressful times for our country, this election must be about bringing our people together, not dividing us up. While Donald Trump is busy insulting one group after another, Hillary Clinton understands that our diversity is one of our greatest strengths,” he told his cheering supporters.

“Yes. We become stronger when black and white, Latino, Asian-American, Native American – all of us – stand together. Yes. We become stronger when men and women, young and old, gay and straight, native-born and immigrant fight to create the kind of country we all know we can become,” he said.

after the coup, Erdogan will visit Russia in August to repair ties harmed by a row over the shooting down of a Russian warplane, officials said. Turkish authorities detained veteran female journalist Nazli Ilicak as part of the investigation into the coup after issuing arrest warrants for over 42 reporters a day earlier in a move that caused international concern.

She was detained early today during a traffic check in the southwestern Bodrum region, the state-run Anadolu news agency said. Ilicak is now being taken to Istanbul where she will later appear in court to learn if she will be remanded in custody.

According to the Dogan news agency, eight of the 42 journalists have now been detained including Ilicak and the former pro-Gulen Zaman newspaper writer Hanim Busra Erdal who was picked up in the western city of Manisa.

Meanwhile, two Turkish generals serving in Afghanistan were detained in Dubai on suspicion of links to the failed coup, an official said. Major General Mehmet Cahit Bakir, the commander of Turkey’s task force in Afghanistan, and Brigadier General Sener Topuc were detained at Dubai airport, said the official, who asked not to be named. The detentions followed cooperation between the Turkish National Intelligence Organisation (MIT) and the UAE authorities, the state-run Anadolu news agency added, saying the pair were now being brought to Turkey.

The Islamist gunmen wearing black tunics, turbans and carrying backpacks exchanged fire and shouted “Allahu Akbar” (God is the Greatest).

But the police chief said police found no evidence of ISIS link. Security analyst believe that JMB is ideologically inclined to the Syria-based outfit. The police chief said the raid was carried out as part of a nationwide anti-militant clampdown following the two back-to back terrorist attacks earlier this month.

Around 30 people were injured in the attack for which dreaded Islamic State group claimed responsibility through its Amaq news agency, nearly four hours after the hostage crisis unfolded.

Dhaka, Jul 26 (PTI): Another ‘mass terror attack’ bid was foiled today in Bangladesh, reeling under a number of Islamist assaults, as security forces killed nine members of a homegrown militant group during a fierce gun-battle that erupted after a pre-dawn raid at their hideout here.

Police said the nine terrorists were killed while one was captured alive during the operation codenamed ‘Storm 26’ to flush out militants holed up in an apartment at a sixstorey building in Kalyanpur area.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said Bangladesh averted a major terror attack.

“The country averted a fearful situation because of the (security) raid,” she said.

The Prime Minister said that the raid was carried out on intelligence reports that the terrorists were preparing for an attack and security forces took immediate action.

Police’s special SWAT unit, elite anti-crime Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) and detectives jointly raided ‘Jahaz Building’ around 5:51 AM local time, sparking a gunfight that last for an hour.

“From police intelligence sources we learnt that they were planning to carry out a major incident. We conducted the operation to foil any such incident,” national police chief A K M Shahidul Hoque told reporters.

Dhaka’s joint police commissioner Sheikh Maruf Hassan said the security forces arrested one militant with bullet wounds from the scene

The attack in the Normandy town of Saint-Etiennedu-Rouvray came as France was still reeling from a massacre in the French Riviera city of Nice claimed by the Islamic State group.

French President Francois Hollande condemned the “cowardly murder of the parish priest by two terrorists claiming to be from Daesh”, using an Arabic term for the Islamic State group. Hollande appealed for “unity” in France, where political blame trading has poisoned the aftermath of the truck attack, the third major strike in the country in 18 months. “The threat remains very high,” said Hollande.

note from Andy Dufresne (Robbins) instructing to meet him in Mexico, where they are later reunited.

In the movie, Robbins’ character describes the area as being “like something out of a Robert Frost poem.”

The New York Times reports that the tree was knocked over by heavy winds last Friday (July 22).

The previous box office record for a concert screened in UK cinemas was set by Rieu himself last year.

The Dutch violinist’s 2015 concert made £1.1m from 460 cinemas - more than 100 fewer than screened this year’s event. This week’s top five was rounded out by The Secret Life of Pets, which took £1.2m on its fifth weekend on release.

Sia’s “Cheap Thrills,” featuring Sean Paul, crowns the Billboard Hot 100 (dated Aug. 6), rising 3-1 to become Sia’s first Hot 100 No. 1 as an artist, while Paul earns his fourth topper and first in more than 10 years. The song unseats Drake’s “One Dance,” featuring WizKid and Kyla, which led the Hot 100 for 10 weeks, marking both the longest-leading No. 1 of 2016 and of Drake’s career.

s Pokémon Go already on the decline? A new report has shown how usage is falling just weeks after its meteoric launch.

The hugely popular game, which launched earlier this month, is an app-based augmented-reality edition of the long-running video game franchise and sees the fictional creatures superimposed into real life settings. Users can roam the real world to search for Pokémon.

Pokémon Go’s astonishing success has been highlighted after it recently became the most successful mobile game in US history. That was after new statistics suggested that in the US, Pokémon Go has become as popular as Twitter and more popular than Tinder.

However, Survey Monkey now reports that the game usage peaked in the US on July 14, a week after its initial release in the country. Daily active users were estimated at just over 25 million on that day, with figures declining since. On July 20, Pokémon Go had around 20 million daily users.

Meanwhile, US downloads of the app peaked on the day it was released (July 7), with nearly six million downloads on its launch date alone.

On July 20, only around one million US users downloaded the app.

Me A Leader is a reflection of how polarised and fractured things are in our society.

“This song doesn’t push an agenda – it simply expresses a very common sense of disillusionment people seem to be feeling at this point in time.”

The band recently announced a tour of Europe with Volbeat and Gojira, which begins on November 4 and includes seven UK dates.

My dearest and sweetest Mami, We give thanks to our Almighty God for giving us such a wonderful gift in the form of you on this day.

he BFG beat fellow new release Star Trek Beyond at the UK and Ireland box office in a weekend that also saw screenings of a classical concert make more money than Ghostbusters.

Steven Spielberg’s film adaptation of Roald Dahl’s family favourite took £5.2m between Friday and Sunday, while the latest Star Trek film took £4.7m.

Third place, meanwhile, was taken by Andre Rieu’s 2016 Maastricht Concert.

Screenings of the event made £1.4m, topping the new Ghostbusters’ £1.3m.

The female-led “reboot” of the 1984 fantasy comedy topped the UK and Ireland box office last week.

Star Trek Beyond, the 13th film in the Trek series and the third to feature younger versions of the original show’s characters, was the top film in the US and

previously unheard and unreleased Lana Del Rey song has surfaced online.

The track has been uploaded to Youtube and is reportedly called ‘Super Movie’.

The song contains the lyrics: “Drop me off at the Copacabana / You my one true love, aren’t you man, ah? / I’m your little super 8 movie / You know I’m in love with ya truly”.

‘Super Movie’ appears to be a reworking of the previously leaked demo ‘On Our Way’, which was recorded in 2010 and leaked in 2012. Hear that beneath.

The two songs share the chorus: “Spin me round kiss me in your Chevrolet / I love you more with each and everyday”.

Lana Del Rey is thought to be working on the follow-up to her 2015 album ‘Honeymoon’. In March, she shared a picture of herself back in the recording studio.

Speaking to NME last December, she explained that she had “early” ideas of what she wants her next album to sound like. “I do have early thoughts about what I’d like to do with [the album],” the singer said.

Senior cricketers should promote Tests: Steve Waugh

Melbourne, Jul 26 (IANS): Former Australia skipper Steve Waugh on Tuesday said he wants the world’s leading cricketers to promote Test cricket first rather than the Twenty20 format of the game.

Waugh believes the popularity of T20 and the financial windfall for players that comes with it is affecting the longest format of the game.

“We have to hope senior cricketers in each country keep promoting Test cricket,” Waugh was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au on Tuesday.

Moscow, Jul 26 (IANS): The new Russian anti-doping commission will include members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), as well as senior representatives of international sports federations and media, the newly-named head of the commission Vitaly Smirnov has said.

The Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) on Monday appointed Smirnov, honorary president of the ROC and member of the IOC since 1971, to chair the anti-doping commission, following a recommendation by Russian

President Vladimir Putin, reports Xinhua. Smirnov was quoted as saying by Russian media after his appointment that the commission planned to closely collaborate with the IOC, its disciplinary commission, WADA, and all parties interested in fighting doping in sports.

“We will soon take off to attend the executive board meeting at the session of the Olympic Committee and I will meet with (IOC President) Thomas Bach. We are open for cooperation,” the Interfax news agency quoted Smirnov as saying.

their country and the responsibility rests with senior players in every country (to do the same.)” The World Cup winning skipper also used the decline of West Indies as an example of how prioritising T20s can have a negative effect on Test matches.

What concerns Waugh is the fact that the West Indies are current World T20 champions but in Tests they are struggling to fight it out against top quality sides.

Waugh also said kids who grow up watching the likes of Chris Gayle and Dwayne Bravo endorsing T20 will obviously take to the format.

“There is a danger there because obviously the Windies are fantastic at T20 and young kids see that. They see they can make a lot of money,” he said.

“The West Indies got into a bit of trouble when Chris Gayle, who was a great Test player, said his priority was T20, then other senior players say the same thing, young kids hear it and all of a sudden the focus is on T20.”

Barce lona, J u l 26 (Agencies): Barcelona announced record revenues of €679m (£571m) for the 2015/16 season, according to the club’s financial results for the season.

The reigning La Liga champions released the figures on Monday, with the overall revenue mark “representing a substantial increase of the figure originally budgeted for this area”.

Barca recorded a net profit of €29m (£24m) after tax and the club’s board believe they are on course to hit the marks of a strategic plan that targets revenue of €1billion in 2021.

The strategic plan includes the ambitious “Espai Barca” project which will see the Camp Nou completely renovated and increase its capacity to 105,000 as well as redeveloping the surrounding area.

The club also announced a one-year extension to its agreement with Qatar Airways, who are Barcelona’s main shirt sponsor.

Mumbai, Jul 26 (Agencies): India need to dominate Test matches and players cannot be content with just looking to improve, captain Virat Kohli said after the tourists thrashed West Indies by an innings and 92 runs in the first Test in Antigua.

The margin of the victory, secured within four days, was India’s largest outside Asia and gave the side a 1-0 lead in the four-match series.

“We are not at a stage now where we need to come and improve,” Kohli, who scored his first double hundred during the test, told reporters.

“We should be ready enough in international cricket to start dominating test matches and win those crucial situations and sessions. That’s how we become a better team.

“If you think we are going to keep learning every series, learning every game, we will never get that hunger and that mindset to win games from difficult situations.

“We need to challenge ourselves a little bit, which this team has been willing to do and which is a wonderful sign.

The way we finished the test, it all panned out pretty nicely.”

While Kohli has led India to a test series win in Sri Lanka and beat South Africa 3-0 at home, their record outside South Asia in the longest format has been poor.

They have lost series in South Africa, New Zealand, England and Australia on tours since late 2013, something new coach Anil Kumble has said he wants to rectify.

The 27-year-old Kohli replaced Mahendra Singh Dhoni as India’s test captain after the wicketkeeper-batsman retired from that form of cricket during the tour of

The 17-year-old Canadian set up match point with his 12th ace before closing out the upset in style as his Australian opponent struggled for consistency.

Kyrgios’ 13 aces - one of which saw the racquet fly out of his hand - were outnumbered by 18 double-faults and his frustration led to him sitting in the corner of the court

However, it said athletes who have been sanctioned in the past for doping would not be eligible for Rio. “My personal view, from the communications we had with people from the IOC, those people had no interest in clean sport,” Stepanov said in a telephone interview.

“I got the impression the only thing they cared about, even the person from the ethics department, is protecting

The IOC recognized Stepanova’s testimony and public statements as having “made a contribution to the protection and promotion of clean athletes, fair play and the integrity and authenticity of sport, the Rules of the Olympic Charter related to the organisation of the Olympic Games run counter to the recognition of the status of neutral athlete.”.

However, it also said neither she nor any Russian athlete with a doping past would be eligible for the Games.

Stepanov said he had never talked to IOC President Thomas Bach about the case.

“Just one email exchange,” he said.

There also had been “just one, one-hour conversation with one person from IOC Ethics Commission,” he added.

“They write things like zero tolerance in doping but you don’t get that impression when you talk to people from IOC.” Doping would never be brought under control “until IOC members start caring about clean athletes and about clean sport and competition,” Stepanov said.

He cautioned that the IOC’s stance on Russia was a green light to others engaged in doping.

“If you are doping in a system that is similar to Russia, continue doing so because there is no reason to fight it because in the end the IOC will say they will not punish the system, but we will punish the whistleblower,” he said.

Stepanov, who previously worked for Russia’s anti-doping agency, and his wife helped expose the doping scandal which threatened to exclude Russia from the Olympics.

The couple now live in an undisclosed location in the United States, fearful for their lives.

Stepanov said the invitation to travel to Rio to watch the Games left them cold.

Shot putter Inderjeet fails dope test; cries conspiracy

Inderjeet Singh

New Delhi, Jul 26 (PTI): Still rattled by the Narsingh Yadav dope scandal, India’s Olympic build-up was rocked by another doping fiasco as shot-putter Inderjeet Singh also tested positive for a banned substance but alleged that his sample had been tampered with.

The 28-year-old Inderjeet’s ‘A’ sample has returned positive for steroids androsterone and etiocholanolone barely 10 days ahead of the mega-event in Rio de Janeiro.

The reigning Asian Champion has been informed by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA). His out-ofcompetition test was done on June 22, sources told PTI. NADA Director Gen-

Evergreen society angling competition Dimapur, Jul 26 (NPN): The Evergreen Society Angling Club would be organising an open angling competition on July 30 at society’s angling club from 7 am to 5 pm. The competition would be judged in the category of single biggest catch. The winner of the competition would receive a sum of Rs.10,000 while the first runner and second runner would receive Rs. 5000 and Rs. 2000 respectively.

The organisers has informed the participants to reach the venue by 5 am for registration.

A sum of Rs. 2500 would be charged from each participant as competition fee.

The organisers have further informed that fishes below six inches and turtles would have to be released back.

eral Naveen Agarwal refused to confirm Inderjeet’s name given that his ‘B’ sample was yet to tested but he did reveal that the shot-putter had recorded a whereabouts failure last month.

“Inder jeet Singh did have a whereabouts failure in the month of June, he did avoid it (the test). As for the dope tests, I cannot say about Inderjeet but two athletes have tested positive so far, including Narsingh,” Agarwal said.

“It is the disciplinary panel before which the hearing will be held. If he (Inderjeet) is not satisfied, he can appeal with the appeals panel of NADA. If the athletes cooperate with the panel then it doesn’t take much time for

the process to be completed,” he added.

The NADA has asked the Punjab-born athlete, who had won a bronze in the 2014 Asian Games, if he wants to get his ‘B’ sample tested. Inderjeet has seven days in hand to get the process completed.

If the ‘B’ sample also tests positive, he will have to miss Rio Games beginning August 5, besides facing the prospect of being banned for four years under the new WADA Code.

Inderjeet’s positive dope test comes barely two days after the high-profile scandal involving Narsingh that engulfed wrestling. Narsingh has alleged that he was framed by rivals, who spiked his food and

supplements. Inderjeet also claimed it was a conspiracy against him and his sample has been tampered with.

“This is a conspiracy and there is something wrong in it. This will be checked by the doctors though. I don’t want to comment on it but whoever has tried to raise their voice in this country, they are forced to shut up,” said Inderjeet.

“My sample has been tampered with. Why would a player take something which is not good for his health?” he added. Interestingly, Inderjeet is not a regular in the national camp and prefers to train on his own with his personal coach.

Inderjeet said it was too early to say on what would be his next move but there was a campaign to shut his mouth.

“I am not in a situation to say anything right now but this is one thing which destroys a player in our country.

I will defend it,” he said.

“I have given dope test at least 50 times last year and this year too I am giving it everywhere. Even after that a campaigning is done to shut my mouth. I used to speak straight for the Indian athletes. There are many things happening with me for past one year. It disturbs a player,” Inderjeet said. Inderjeet was one of the first track and field athletes who qualified for the Rio Olympics as he made the cut last year itself. He had a training stint earlier this year in the United States under funding of the Sports Ministry’s Target Olympic Podium (TOP) Scheme.

Argentina equal their largest Olympic delegation Rio de Janeiro, Jul 26 (IANS): With the qualification of gymnast Nicolas Cordoba, Argentina will go to the Rio Olympics with 213 athletes, the same number as for London 1948, the largest delegation in their history.

Cordoba, a specialist in the horizontal bar, will go to the Olympics after Portugal’s Gustavo Simoes dropped out, having broken his left foot in training, reports Xinhua.

Argentina are celebrating a stellar qualification process, having exponentially increased their delegation from just 137 in London 2012.

Back then, the country won just four medals, a gold in taekwondo, a silver in hockey, and two bronze in tennis and sailing.

Some of those who will compete at the 2016 Olympics already know how to climb the podium, especially Argentina’s female hockey team, who have taken two silver medals and two bronze since Sydney 2000.

Surviving members of Argentina’s golden generation of basketball, Emanuel Ginobili, Luis Scola, Andres Nocioni, Carlos Delfino will seek to make their last stand count, after seeing gold in Athens 2004 and bronze in Beijing 2008.

Juan Martin del Potro will seek to build on his bronze for tennis in London and Paula Pareto will want to reclaim the bronze medal she took in Beijing for judo.

London 1948 is also Argentina’s most successful Olympiad to date, having won seven medals with three gold, three silver and one bronze, finishing 14th out of 59 countries.

Ashwin reclaims top spot in ICC Test rankings

Dubai, Jul 26 (IANS): Star Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin’s matchwinning seven-wicket haul in the first Test against the West Indies helped him regain the No.1 spot among bowlers in the latest International Cricket Council (ICC) Test rankings released here on Tuesday.

The Chennai born tweaker not only regained the top spot in the bowler rankings but also consolidated his position as the best allrounder with a knock of 113 in the first innings of the Antigua Test, which India won by an innings and 92 runs at the Sir Viv Richards stadium on Monday.

Ashwin has replaced Pakistan leg-spinner Yasir Shah, who had grabbed the

number one ranking for bowlers only last week with a 10-wicket haul in the opening Test against England at Lord’s.

Yasir, who could take only one wicket in the second Test at Old Trafford, has dropped to fifth place below James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Dale Steyn.

The 29-year-old Ashwin has gained five points following his performance in the first Test, while Anderson has earned seven points.

This means the pre-Test gap between the two bowlers has been trimmed from three points to just one point only.

In contrast, Yasir has conceded 46 points and now trails number one ranked Ashwin by 44 points.

In the batting chart, India captain Virat Kohli’s maiden double hundred at Antigua, which set the base for his country’s biggest win outside Asia, has helped him move up two places to No.12 while opener Shikhar Dhawan has gained four places after a knock of 84.

England’s Joe Root and Alastair Cook have reaped the benefits of solid knocks to gain two and four places, respectively.

Root’s 254 and 71 not out has taken him to second position while Cook’s 105 and 76 not out have helped him return to the top-10, in ninth position.

England seamer Chris Woakes has jumped up 10 places to 23rd rank after his

match-haul of seven for 108 at Old Trafford, which contributed to England’s 330-run victory that levelled the fourmatch series against Pakistan at 1-1.

Indian pacer Umesh Yadav has gained six places to be positioned 24th with five wickets in Antigua while his new-ball partner Mohammed Shami has returned to the rankings at 28th place.

Ashwin, only the third Indian to be top-ranked among all-rounders after Vinoo Mankad and Kapil Dev, has increased the gap with second-placed Shakib Al Hasan of Bangladesh.

Ashwin has moved up from 406 points to a career-best 427 points and created a 43-point gap with Shakib.

NE United FC appoint Vingada as head coach Mumbai, Jul 26 (IANS): Indian Super League (ISL) franchise NorthEast United Football Club (NEUFC) on Tuesday announced the appointment of Eduardo Manuel Martinho Braganza de Vingada, commonly known as Nelo Vingada as the new head coach for the forthcoming third edition of the tournament.

Coaching the Portugal Under-20 team to finish third in the FIFA U-20 World Cup and earlier winning it twice along with acclaimed manager Carlos Queiroz, Vingada is the best match for the young and energetic NEUFC. His international experience and tutelage will help the team to best claim their stake on ISL-2016.

Vingada has also managed the Saudi Arabia national team, guiding them in the 1996 AFC Asian Cup title and helped them qualify for the 1998 World Cup. In his extensive coaching career of 35 years and beyond, Vingada has managed the Iran Olympic Side, served as the technical director of Benfica and helped FC Seoul emerge victorious in the 2010 K League, also coaching the teams in Jordan, Morocco, Egypt and China.

The 63-year-old Vingada, was equally thrilled with proceedings and expressed his approval.

“John Abraham and I have the same outlook on the game and the team. We want to bring in more talent that will be professional and willing to learn and evolve into better players,” he said.

United in the Thai Premier League, where he won both league and cup with the side.

Bikey represented Cameroon in the Beijing Olympics in 2008. The centre-half, who can also play in midfield, started his career with Spanish side Espanyol, moved to Shinnik Yaroslavl in Russia before signing for Lokomotiv Moscow in 2005.

Bouchard confirms she’ll play in Rio UN urges Olympic M O N T REAL , J u l 2 6 (Agencies): Canadian tennis player Eugenie Bouchard will play at the Rio Olympics next month, after weighing the risks posed by the Zika virus and security concerns in Brazil.

“It was a hard decision for me and I definitely thought about all the pros and cons,” Bouchard told the media at the weekend as she prepared to play in the WTA hardcourt tournament in Montreal.

“But at the end of the day, I knew in my heart I didn’t want to be sitting at home watching the Olympics on TV. Also knowing I might have two or three Olympics in my career, I felt that the decision to go was the right one.”

Bouchard is currently ranked 42nd in the world.

Her compatriot Milos Raonic, Romania’s Simona Halep and Czechs Tomas Berdych and Karolina Pliskova have all decided not to play in Rio, with Zika among the biggest concerns.

The mosquito-borne virus has been leaked to birth defects and, more rarely, neurological problems.

The men’s golf competition in Rio has been even harder hit than tennis by the withdrawal of the world’s top players.

Top-ranked Australian Jason Day, Americans Jordan Spieth and Dustin Johnson, and Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy have all elected to miss golf ’s return to the Summer Games after 112 years.

Juventus edge out youthful Spurs 2-1 Rooney still key to England plans: Allardyce

Juventus midfielder Mario Lemina races away from Tottenham’s Will Miller who makes a grab for the Frenchman’s shirt.

Melbourne, Jul 26 (Agencies): Medhi Benatia scored his first goal for Juventus as the Serie A champions ran out 2-1 winners against Tottenham in the International Champions Cup in Melbourne.

The centre-back looped home a header after Paulo Dybala had put Juve in front with just six minutes played against a youthful Spurs side at the MCG. Mauricio Pochettino’s team enjoyed plenty of possession, particularly in the second half, but struggled to make any headway against an inexperienced Juve defence who did well to keep debutant Vincent Janssen quiet.

Miralem Pjanic impressed for Massimiliano Allegri’s side but missed a superb chance for a third goal, and Erik Lamela gave Spurs hope of a comeback

when he halved the deficit with 23 minutes left.

But Juve held on and looked largely in good shape, despite still missing the players involved at Euro 2016, including reported Manchester United target Paul Pogba.

The Old Lady broke the deadlock early on as errors in the Tottenham rearguard undid their promising early work.

Dominic Ball lost possession to Roberto Pereyra, and after Cameron Carter-Vickers failed to win the ball back with a slide tackle, the Argentinian picked out Dybala in space in the area, who lashed home into the bottom corner.

Dybala came close to a second on 13 minutes, latching onto a loose ball before letting fly from 25 yards, forcing Michel Vorm to tip the ball over

the bar. But when the resulting corner was cleared only as far as Pjanic, the midfielder clipped a fine cross towards former Roma team-mate Benatia, who rose highest to loop a header back across goal and into the right-hand corner of Vorm’s net.

Lamela snatched a lifeline for Spurs, drilling low into the bottom-right corner after Victor Wanyama had done well to win back possession in Juve’s half, and the Argentinian stung the palms of Neto when he side-footed straight at the Juve goalkeeper from the edge of the area.

Shayon Harrison was denied a stoppage-time equaliser when Neto saved well low to his right after good work from Lamela, allowing Juve to hold on for the win.

LONDON, Jul 26 (Agencies): New England manager Sam Allardyce admitted Wayne Rooney has a significant part to play in his plans but refused to give assurances about the player’s future as captain.

Rooney recently expressed a desire to continue as skipper, despite criticism following England’s disastrous campaign at the 2016 European Championship in France.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho last week promised the 30-year-old that he would keep the armband at club level. But Allardyce, speaking at his first press conference since taking over from Roy Hodgson, did not follow suit.

Instead England’s record goal scorer will have a nervous wait until September when Allardyce will meet his players for the first time ahead of their World Cup qualifier with Slovakia. “I don’t want to put myself out in the open just yet.

It’s a decision that I’ll make once I’ve got my feet under the table,” Allardyce said, when asked if Rooney would retain the captaincy.

“I have got to leave that until we reach all the players and get the coaching staff together and plan for the internationals in September.

“Will I wait until I meet the players? I think so. Put it this way - I still think Wayne Rooney still has a massive place to play in the England side. I don’t think there is any doubt about that.”

Allardyce would not be drawn on whether he thinks Rooney is more suited to a midfield or striking role, and plans to follow Mourinho’s lead on where to deploy the player.

“What’s Rooney’s best position? I’m not saying! I think Jose will determine that,” added Allardyce. “Because if Jose says he is not going to play him in centre midfield and he is playing up front and scoring goals for Manchester United then it would be pointless me bringing him into England and playing him in centre midfield.”

Allardyce, 61, acknowledged it is inevitable there will be occasions when he clashes with Premier League managers now he has crossed over into international management.

He said: “The demands on Premier League managers and demand on me as England manager is bound to cause some conflict down the line because the pressures are far greater than ever before.

“I think we suffered more sackings than ever before. So they are bound to want to protect their players and that is what I have to try and overcome with a little bit of give and take, hopefully.”

Allardyce, who signed a two-year contract to manage England, has promised his players that they will work in a “fun” environment while he is in charge. “We don’t have to make it too monotonous when we are actually together,” he explained. “My style is very much in terms of man-management having a good relationship with the players. Not being distant.

That’s not my style. I like to be in amongst the banter.”

Martin Glenn, the Football Association’s chief executive, claimed that Allardyce was the only candidate that was offered the England job.

Truce ahead of Rio Games

United Nations, Jul 26 (IANS): UN General Assembly President Mogens Lykketoft urged the member states to observe the Olympic Truce ahead of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games and Paralympics, the media reported.

The Olympic Truce -ceasing all conflicts between countries participating in the games from 7 days before the Olympics start until 7 days after they finish -- has been passed on from Ancient Greece to current times to advance international understanding and promote world peace, Xinhua news agency reported.

Lykketoft on Monday called upon all warring parties of current armed conflicts around the world to boldly agree to true mutual ceasefires for the duration of the Olympic Truce, thus providing an opportunity to settle disputes peacefully.

The Rio Olympics will be held from August 5 to 21 and the Paralympics from September 7 to 18.

Over 10,000 athletes from a record number of countries will participate in the 2016 summer Olympics.

Wayne Rooney

Sunderland boss received a positive endorsement from legendary Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, who was consulted over the appointment.

“The single biggest thing (Ferguson said) was he’s a winner. He’s got the edge. Winners can sometimes be a bit awk-

ward. That was his phrase. He’s a winner,” Glenn said.

Sammy Lee, Allardyce’s former assistant at Bolton Wanderers, will be part of England’s backroom staff while Glenn also confirmed that the FA are holding talks with Bayern Munich assistant coach Paul Clement over a part-time role.
