‘Arrogance’ won’t be tolerated: Modi Comes Down hard against misbehaviour by party members he said. The MLA had defended his action and refused to apologise. He was arrested and later released on bail by a court in Madhya Pradesh. Party sources said Modi also disapproved of the fanfare with which BJP leaders received him after he was released from jail and suggested that the party will

take action.

The prime minister said BJP leaders have toiled hard for generations to bring the party success and such arrogance brings it a bad name.

The MLA’s father Kailash Vijayvargiya, a BJP national general secretary, was in the meeting when Modi deplored the incident.

Citing Modi’s message, Congress demands expulsion of BJP MLA

NEW DELHI/INDORE, JUL 2 (PTI): Arrogance and misbehaviour cannot be tolerated, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Tuesday in a stern message after senior BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya’s MLA son assaulted a government official.

According to sources, he told the BJP parliamentary party meeting that “whoever it may be, whoever’s son he may be... such arrogance, misbehaviour cannot be tolerated” and action should be

taken against them.

“Manmaani nahi chalegi,” he said in Hindi, meaning one cannot get away with doing whatever he or she wishes.

Speaking to reporters, BJP MP and spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy quoted Modi as saying that such conduct was “totally unacceptable”.

Asked if the prime minister also suggested disciplinary action, he answered in affirmative. “He said if somebody behaves in such

Citing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks that arrogance and misbehaviour cannot be tolerated in the BJP, the ruling Congress in Madhya Pradesh Tuesday demanded expulsion of BJP MLA Akash Vijayvargiya for assaulting a civic official with a cricket bat recently. Reacting to the Congress’ demand, the state BJP said they follow directives of the Central leadership.

“After this clear message by the prime minister, the BJP should not waste time in expelling Akash from the party. Hopefully, after the PM’s message, the

leaders of the state BJP will stop glorifying Akash,” said state Congress spokesman Neelabh Shukla.

Kailash Vijayvargiya had said on Monday that his son was a novice. When asked about the possibility of a disciplinary action against Akash, BJP’s Madhya Pradesh unit vice president Rameshwar Sharma appeared to evade a straight reply. “We follow whatever the Central leadership of the party decides,” he said.

Sharma alleged the state government has been working against Opposition leaders out of a political vendetta.

SC throws out PIL filed against ILP Spl. Correspondent/IANS

NEW DELHI, JUL 2 (NPN): In a significant development, the Supreme Court on Tuesday out rightly rejected entertaining a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by a BJP member and Supreme Court advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, challenging a law that empowers states like Nagaland to make it mandatory to have an Inner Line Permit for the entry of people from outside the state.

A bench headed by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, Justices Deepak Gupta and Aniruddha Bose said: “We are not inclined to entertain this matter.” Senior Supreme Court advocate and advocate general of Nagaland, K.N. Balgopal was also present at the hearing.

“The ILP matter during our presence the Bench presided by Chief Justice of India dismissed the petition. Now the controversy has been laid to rest and no outsider can tinker with the Rights of Naga People,” Balgopal tweeted on Tuesday.

Nagaland chief secretary, Temjen Toy also tweeted that the PIL filed on the ILP issue had been dismissed by the Supreme

Court. The PIL over ILP had drawn strong criticism from various quarters of the society in Nagaland including political parties, NNPGs, civil society organizations etc.

Ashwini in his PIL, contended that states were using ILP law to discriminate against movement of people within their boundaries, that was tantamount to infringing the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution.

He also contended that Nagaland has only eight per cent Hindu population and that the ILP allegedly discriminates against the minority. As Upadhyay persisted on a detailed hearing on the matter, the bench, which was rising after concluding the day’s proceedings, apparently got irked and refused to allow him to withdraw the petition, as he intended to present it before the ministry

NSF welcomes dismissal of PIL

Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) said it was pleased to learn that the PIL against the extension of ILP to Dimapur filed by one Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay before the Supreme Court was dismissed on Tuesday by a three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and comprising Justices Deepak Gupta and Aniruddha Bose.

While acknowledging the “visionary wisdom” of the SC judges n protecting the rights of the indigenous people and also for (Cont’d on p-7) uplifting their

concerned. The court took a sharp jibe at Upadhyay as he said that journalists are also supposed to acquire the permit to enter the state.

“You are trying to seek the support of the journalists in the courtroom,” Chief Justice Gogoi said.

Upadhyay, in his plea, equated the ILP to a quasivisa system imposed on Indian citizens, and sought it be gradually removed and eventually replaced by technology oriented measures like border patrolling, use of technology, strong land rights, financial devolution and increasing accountability in order to achieve cultural integration of these states with others in the country.

A report in The Indian Express on November 11, 2018, stated that Delhi BJP spokesperson Ashwini Upadhyay goes by the sobriquet ‘PIL man’ in the corridors of the Supreme Court. A practising advocate, he holds the unique distinction of filing 50 PILs in five years.

In another report by ANI on November 12, 2018, the apex court pulled up Upadhyay for filing a series of ‘meaningless’ PILs and warned that he might be banned from filing PILs in the future.

State BJP stated that the party unit joins the rest of the Nagas in rejoicing at the victory, and the subsequent dismissal of the PIL (Ashwini Kumar Upadhya vs Union of India in W. P.

CM, chief secretary solidarity message to KET Accurate EC litmus for future TASU cautions proxy teachers planning, says DC Wokha

DIMAPUR: The State government has sent a message of solidarity on behalf of Naga people to Kohima Educational Trust (KET), York in the UK. In a message to KET chairman David Shaw, chief minister Neiphiu Rio and chief secretary Temjen Toy said as the British people commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Kohima at York on July 4, they were sending the brief message to convey on behalf of the Naga people, in whose lands the terrible war was fought in 1944, that they were thinking of them in a special manner.

They said the State government was holding a yearlong commemoration of the Battle of Kohima, adding that many war veterans were present at the inaugural function held in Kohima on April 4, the day the Battle of Kohima began in 1944, with the theme “Remembrance, Reconciliation & Rebirth”. Mentioning that the commemoration was continuing with several programmes by engaging all sections of society, especially war veterans, students

and youth, the duo said the yearlong celebrations would conclude on April 4, 2020 and welcomed anyone wanting to join “us” at any of the events from now till April next year.

According to Rio and Toy, the World War II was horrible and the sufferings “our people” had to endure were very severe as two foreign armies fought over “our lands”. It had great consequences not just for “our people” but for all those involved in the war that re-shaped world history, they added. Pointing out that the Japanese Army suffered its greatest military defeat and Britain herself saw her empire beginning to crumble, the chief minister and chief secretary claimed that the Naga people suffered greatly and their traditional community-based society was spoilt forever.

They added that Kohima also rose to a place of prominence from being a sleepy little town in 1944. They recalled that British historians in 2013 had voted the Battle of Kohima-Imphal as most significant in their history, adding that Kohima today

was firmly on the world map.

Mentioning that British-Naga relations began in the early part of 19th century, Rio and Toy asserted that this relationship was tried and severely tested many times over the years, especially during the World War II when “our lands” became the battlefield. But through it all, “our relationship and friendship” have endured, they claimed.

The message read: “We are also grateful to the British veterans, particularly those who fought in Kohima, and Kohima Educational Trust that they set up in 2004, and now embraced by the larger British public, for all the good works they have been doing in Nagaland. Their scholarship programme alone has benefitted about 800 Naga students till date.”

“With much gratitude in our hearts, we stand in solidarity with you as you remember the events that occurred in our lands 75 years ago. And we look forward to strengthening our friendship even more across the seas,” the message added.

‘Syntu’ sanitary napkins being launched in Nongstoin in Meghalaya . ImageHighland Post I am working on installing an automatic machine to increase productivity,” she stated.

Rodonald Majaw, a senior official of the Meghalaya Basin Development Authority (MBDA), said it did not take Marbaniang long to come up with the new product after learning the basics at the workshop

organized by the Union Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises.

“She approached the Livelihood Business Incubator (a branch of the MBDA) for a sanitary napkin manufacturing machine and the authorities happily obliged. Marbaniang did not have to invest much as the raw materials for the pads

IMPHAL, Jul 2: The High Court of Manipur on Tuesday reserved the judgment on a petition seeking disqualification of state forest and environment minister Th Shyamkumar as MLA. While reserving the judgment for a week after the final hearing to the case was held today.

State MAHUD, forest& environment and horticulture minister Shyamkumar, who was elected on Congress ticket in the general elections to state Assembly in 2017, had defected to BJP even before taking oath as member of the Assembly.

He became a cabinet minister in the N Biren led BJP’s coalition government which come to power on March 15, 2017.

Alleging that Shyamkumar had violated the 10th Schedule of Indian Constitution, commonly referred to as the anti-defection law, two Congress MLAs – K Meghachandra and Md Fajur Rehmanhad filed petitions to the High Court of Manipur in the early part of 2018.

Responding to the petitions, the High Court of Manipur had issued notices to the Speaker of Manipur Legislative Assembly, its secretary and state forest and environment minister Th Shyamkumar, returnable

by February 28, 2018.

In the petitions, it was alleged that even as Congress members had filed 13 similar applications for disqualification of Th Shyamkumar, the Speaker failed to initiate any action.

In the petition submit-

ted before the High Court, Meghachandra mentioned that Speaker has failed to honour his plea for disqualification of minister Th Shyamkumar and 12 similar petitions filed by Congress members.

He stated that the Speaker was supposed to dispense charge as the presiding officer of tribunal constituted under the 10th Schedule of the Constitution of India for initiation of disqualification proceedings against the minister.

The Congress MLAs, in the petitions, also referred to an earlier ruling by a Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court in the case of Rajendra Singh Rana and others versus Swami Prasad Maurya and others in 2007, to substantiate the charge against minister Shyamkumar.

S hya m k u m a r h a d joined the BJP without authorization from the Congress, the party he contested the election.

Even though Shyamkumar was sworn in a minister, he is technically remains as Congress legislator, Meghachandra maintained in his petition.

Induction of Shyamkumar as minister in the BJP-led coalition government was violation of para 2(1) (A) of 10th Schedule of Indian Constitution, the

petitioner alleged.

Responding to the petition submitted by the Congress legislator, Justice Kh Nobin of High Court of Manipur issued the notices to the Speaker of state Assembly, its secretary and minister Shyamkumar himself.

The court asked the respondents to retur n their reply within February 28.

The hearing of the case was going on since then in the court. The final hearing was held today and the judgment was kept reserved which it would be pronounced within a week.

M e n t i o n m ay b e made here that not only Shyamkumar’s case but cases seeking disqualification of seven other MLAs of Congress who had defected to BJP were also pending with the tribunal of the Speaker of Manipur Assembly.

The seven other Congress MLAs defected to BJP and currently supporting the BJP-led coalition government are Ginsuanhau, Ksh Biren, S Bira, Ngamthang Haokip, Paonam Brojen, O Lukhoi and Y Surchandra.

The Congress had already planned to file similar petitions against other seven defectors after the judgment to Th Shyamkumar’s case.

22 dogs seized by Assam Police GUWAHATI, JUL 2 (AGENCIES): At least 22 dogs were seized by the police which were being illegally transported to Nagaland in Assam’s Borpathar area of Golaghat district on Monday.

According to The North East Today, Golaghat, Additional superintendent of Police, Surjit Singh Paneswar informed that ten dogs were found dead and autopsies were conducted by the veterinarians to find out the cause of deaths. The twelve others are under due care and attention of the district veterinary department officials.

He disclosed that preliminary investigation suggested that the dogs were being carried from Dergaon to Nagaland to be sold in clandestine markets. Police have registered a case under Sec. 379 (punishment for theft) and 428 (mischief by killing or maiming animals) of the IPC read with Sec. 11 (treating animals with cruelty) of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960.

The vehicle carrying the dogs met with an accident at Borpathar and injured an youth at 1 pm on Monday. Locals raided the truck and found the dogs tied up inside.

An official, who is engaged in the investigation said that the mini-truck did not have a dog selling licence either from Assam or Nagaland. It was the handiwork of some smugglers who trapped the canines from different parts of upper Assam districts. It is a regular practice by some unscrupulous traders based in Assam and Nagaland. The vehicle has been seized by the police and the driver has also been arrested.

Tripura Cong leader slams police for defamation case Agartala, Jul 2 (PTI): Senior Congress leader Subal Bhowmik Tuesday slammed the Tripura Police for summoning him in connection with a defamation case filed by chief minister Biplab Deb and wife Niti.

Shillong, Jul 2 (PTI): In a first, a 30-year-old woman in Meghalaya has come up with eco-friendly sanitary napkins with an aim to check land and air pollution in the hill state, where access to hygiene still remains a distant dream for many.

Shaidalin Marbaniang, a member of a self-help group (SHG) at Riangdo village in West Khasi Hills, launched her own brand of sanitary pads ‘Syntu’ (flower in English) last month, after having attended a one-week workshop on menstrual hygiene organised by the Central government.

“I was concerned about the non-availability of hygienic pads for girls and women in my village. Add to that, non-compostable pads were making their way to the sewerage system and landfills in the state, posing threat to the environment,” Marbaniang told PTI. The new pads have been manufactured with 95 per cent biodegradable materials, she claimed.

“At the moment, 300 pads are produced every day.

A big task ahead

agaland is to have its own version of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) that seeks to prepare a comprehensive list of its indigenous citizens in order to check alleged ‘rampant’ issuance of indigenous certificates in the state. The state government has informed that it will soon be bringing out the proposed Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland (RIIN), to be ready in two months’ time.

Much had been written about the alleged questionable indigenous inhabitant certificates that were being issued by authorities and some of which have been in public domain. When indigenous certificates are issued to persons with doubtful antecedents, it can also mean depriving job and other opportunities to genuine indigenous citizens. Besides this concern, there is also a need to bring some clarity about how many indigenous inhabitants are there in the state. All Deputy Commissioners have been asked to compile the RIIN list within seven days after issuance of the government notification. There will be teams for each village and ward (urban area) with SDO (C)/EAC as its chairman along with the members comprising of BDO/UDO, headmaster of Government High School (to be nominated by DEO), two GBs (nominated by the deputy commissioner) and two GPS/GMS/GHS teachers (nominated by DEO). The provisional lists prepared by the teams will be published in the villages and wards as well as on the website of the district and the state government on September 11. Claims and objections can be filed for a period of 30 days i.e. on or before October 10.Officials said the RIIN process will be completed on or before December 10 and copies of the final list will be provided to every village and ward besides being placed at the district and State levels.The notification also stated that there will be a complete ban on issue of fresh indigenous inhabitant certificate and in case there is anyone who is left out from the RIIN, he/she will need to file an application before Home Commissioner who will get the matter verified and take necessary action The exercise will be a big task and could even result in a similar problem that Assam’s NRC faced. As in the case with NRC the proposed RIIN could also find its way in the court of law. Be that as it may, the issue could also meet with some difficult problems such as in the case with a section of a community whose parents were mentioned in the state electoral roll 1963. The second and third generation whose numbers have grown are finding themselves caught in between over an issue of revocation of recognition of members of the community as indigenous inhabitants of the state. There is also another issue of what would be the position of the children adopted

by Naga parents or children of Naga mothers married to non-Nagas. The draft list of the RIIN could either concur or differ with the Census 2011 when the state’s population of around 20 lakh came down by a negligible 11,000. The indigenous population includes communities as recognised by the state government besides or indigenous inhabitants. The RIIN is also expected to set in motion the demand for checking the growth of immigrants some of who managed to get indigenous certificates. Perhaps these issues need to be deliberated in consultations with tribe organisations for the primary purpose of making a clear list of indigenous inhabitants.

DailyDevotion The Conditions of Discipleship If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also….And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me….So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.

—Luke 14:26-27, 33 If the closest relationships of a disciple’s life conflict with the claims of Jesus Christ, then our Lord requires instant obedience to Himself. Discipleship means personal, passionate devotion to a Person— our Lord Jesus Christ.

There is a vast difference between devotion to a person and devotion to principles or to a cause. Our Lord never proclaimed a cause— He proclaimed personal devotion to Himself. To be a disciple is to be a devoted bondservant motivated by love for the Lord Jesus. Many of us who call ourselves Christians are not truly devoted to Jesus Christ.

No one on earth has this passionate love for the Lord Jesus unless the Holy Spirit has given it to him. We may admire, respect, and revere Him, but we cannot love Him on our own. The only One who truly loves the Lord Jesus is the Holy Spirit, and it is He who has “poured out in our hearts” the very “love of God” (Romans 5:5). Whenever the Holy Spirit sees an opportunity to glorify Jesus through you, He will take your entire being and set you ablaze with glowing devotion to Jesus Christ.

The Christian life is a life characterized by true and spontaneous creativity. Consequently, a disciple is subject to the same charge that was leveled against Jesus Christ, namely, the charge of inconsistency. But Jesus Christ was always consistent in His relationship to God, and a Christian must be consistent in his relationship to the life of the Son of God in him, not consistent to strict, unyielding doctrines. People pour themselves into their own doctrines, and God has to blast them out of their preconceived ideas before they can become devoted to Jesus Christ.

The Hill Tribes: ‘Divide that ye be not ruled’

outheast Asia, like any other place on earth, has been shaped by its great empires: the Han and Tang Dynasties in China, the Gupta Empire and the Nanda Dynasty in the Indian sub-continent, the Siamese kingdom in Thailand, the Bagan Dynasty in Myanmar, just to name a few.

These civilizations grew up along coasts or in fertile river valleys and plains, engulfing vast stretches of territories and leaving behind rich historical records in everything from tombs and temples to treatises and household goods. Their cultures still dominate the identities of the countries where their descendants live.

Perhaps one would wonder how certain dominant people groups in the valleys and plains were able to make such great strikes in all spheres of life and progress far ahead of others. Since they were, first of all, the ones who essentially controlled the state, they enjoyed more privileges and could focus on their own development. Second, they were able to get the weaker communities to work for them, whether through co-

ercion or willing cooperation, to do things such as: fighting for the ruling class, constructing their houses and roads, buildings their walls, paying taxes to their government or supplying agricultural products to feed those living in the cities.

Attempts to bring the weak minority communities to be part of the mainstream were always presented as providing literacy, progress and development. But this did not always grow out of a real concern for them.

“In practice,” according to James C. Scott, “it has meant something else. The objective has been less to make them productive than to ensure that their economic activity was legible, taxable, assessable, and confiscatable or, failing that, to replace it with [other] forms of production that were.”

What, then, was the resultant effect of the state’s coercive labor systems? The fleeing of the oppressed peoples to the hills! And this is where, according to Scott, statuses of “Ethnicity and ‘tribe’ begin exactly where taxes and sovereignty end.”

Indeed, the history of

flight is not only embedded the lowland states. In his in many hill legends but is book, The Art of Not Being now well documented by Governed, Scott extensivemost research scholars of ly argues that the ‘Zomia’ Southeast Asia.

Hence, their military forces Similarly, scholars like Jean had no other choice but to Michaud, Edward Stringwithdraw. ham and Caleb J. Miles Moreover, the hill peo- analyzed many historical ples were able to develop evidences from Southeast a defensive mechanism to Asia and concluded that evade invading forces from the hill peoples deliberately

adopted a survival-strategy to avoid the state -- that is, from its predatory appetites, its domination, and its exactions, using strategies of escape or dispersion rather than direct confrontation. When threatened, they would retreat and disperse as if their motto was, as Ernest Gellmer aptly puts it, “Divide that ye be not ruled.”

The hill peoples of Southeast Asia, over several millennia, had come to reject the way of the lowland peoples. Together these dissidents created an alternative way of life and freedom for their own, which was out of reach, both geographically and socially, from the control of the nation-states in the valleys and plains.

Their life was fluid and wild, free and independent. Their social organization was suited for quick and easy dispersal and reunification, allowing them to escape assaults and wage guerrilla warfare. As such, these hill peoples in Southeast Asia, even today, have earned a reputation for insurrection and independence.

So, what can we learn from our hill ancestors?

First, we must remind ourselves that government, particularly centralized government, is not always necessary for life. Our health, family, community, prosperity, trade, and faith can all do without it. Where strife and inequality may seem inevitable in the governed world, there can be equality and freedom without being governed by the state.

Second, our sense of ethnic identity and sovereignty of our village republic system must never be surrendered to any other sovereign nation-state no matter what kind of enticements the latter may offer.

The story of our ancestors’ resistance to nation-states has very deep roots. It goes thousands of years back, which means it is precolonial or, one may say, even pre-states. If, then, we are truly descendants of the hill ancestors, we ought to still defend our mountainous homeland and protect our own way of life.

Third, if we must opt to embrace the concept of nation-states, it must be organic, not externally imposed, and that must happen only on our own terms.

Register of indigenous inhabitant of Nagaland, RIIN

ccording to English diction, Indigenous is an adjective and when referred to a Human being, it describes a “person living naturally in a particular region”. This definition makes the white Americans in the United States of America non-Indigenous people of North America; white Australians nonIndigenous of Australia and the whites of New Zealander nonIndigenous of the State. In short, Indigenous means only person belonging naturally to the place.

A Naga girl married to a Non-Naga is ethnically an Indigenous Naga whether she lives with a Russian in the Tundra Region or with an American in Honolulu.

Indigenousness is a gift of nature to the earliest inhabitants and their descendants of the place; it is not malleable by human interests or wishes and desires.

A non-Naga bor n and brought up and living in the State of Nagaland, is not an Indigenous but a domiciled of Nagaland and the person has all the rights of a Citizen of Nagaland, except the privileges that an Indigenous has.

Every Nation has a priority for its own Citizens. Donald Trump has every right to seek the interest of the America first and he has every right to allow others into America without any regulations. A Naga girl married to a Non-Naga cannot lose her indigenous ethnicity of a Naga but she cannot have the indigenous ethnicity of her husband.

The Naga everywhere is a Naga, there is no question about it otherwise, but a Naga, -not Native of Cachar- can claim the privilege of the Indigenous of Cachar State: A Naga of Nagaland cannot be an Indigenous

W

person in any other place except Nagaland and vice versa.

The Kuki and the Kachari and the Garo, who had and have ancestral Village in Naga Hills from time immemorial in the ancient past before the whites colonized the Naga Hills, are Indigenous of Nagaland, even a Nepali born and brought up and living in Naga Hills prior to 31 December 1963, -not all Nepalis-, have been accepted by the Government as Indigenous of Nagaland.

The Nepalis of above should have been appropriately recognized as “Domiciled Citizens of Nagaland”, rather than irregularly as Indigenous after the State of Nagaland was formed. But whatever has been done, let Nagaland Government not rescind it now, however the State Government has bungled in the past in the case of the Rongmei. The Matter is now in the Court and let the Court decide.

But a bigger question is: Is the Government authorized to do this monumental Task of Social Classification with immense consequences just by a Cabinet Decision and an Executive Order bypassing formal Regulation through the Legislative Assembly of Nagaland? I am not a person with Legal training, let the people with Legal Expertise share their legal Minds.

First, the State must first of all clearly define what the government means by ‘INDIGENOUS’!

Surely, “original inhabitant of the house” of the Notification nowhere means ‘Indigenous inhabitants’.

Quite many new Villages have come up and are coming up in Nagaland with miscella-

neous transient populations without traditional cultural ropes of Family-Clan-Khel-Village-Tribe connections and Territory. So it is unconscionable to empower such emigrated miscellaneous population with the power to decide whether a person is Indigenous or non-Indigenous when they themselves are non-Indigenous.

In this collateral Issue, it is improper to give the Urban Colony/Wards to exercise the full fledged authoritative power of a traditional, Cultural and Tribal Village whereas the Government Notification seems to have treated the paramount, Authoritative Village Council only the semblance of an accompaniment In Nagaland, the appropriate authority to decide whether a person of ‘Indigenous’ or ‘NonIndigenous’ Status lay not with the Government but is with the native Gaunbura of the Village.

In Nagaland it is the Village who decides whether a person or even the Clan is Immigrant or Indigenous.

The Ward or Colony of a Town or City or an Urban Area in Nagaland State does not have the Authority of a native Village to decide Indigenous or not of the place.

Nagaland now should be very careful in the case of RIIN. Let it not rush things in haste.

The Government has not accomplished much since the Bengal Inner Line Regulation was promulgated 146 years ago in 1873.

If it is so, what can a Register of Indigenous Inhabitants do. Why register the Majority Nagas when the trouble is with the Minority illegal Immigrants?

Bad road is the mirror of Nagaland

I

n Kohima near Leo’s Club some beautiful words is rewritten on the retaining wall: “Kohima is the mirror of Nagaland.”

I wonder in what sense the writer has written these words, is it because Kohima is the capital of Nagaland or for having a memorial war cemetery or a museum or a beautiful landscape?

Here I want to reflect on the road condition of Dimpaur City where many roads connecting to this city from different directions.

As we know Dimapur is the only commercial hub of Nagaland linking Airline, Rail-line and National High way from neighbouring states. We are proud of this. Yes. The above statements are true.

But let me reflect on the present road conditions. A few roads in the middle of the City i.e Western side of Dimapur somewhat okay comparing with other roads. The rest of the roads in Dimapur are so horrible and pathetic condition.

I believe that road condition of other districts in our state must be the same too. Sometimes black-top work is carried on but it lasts hardly for 2.3 years (no maintenance and no repairing at all).

Ministers, MLAs, bureaucrats, public leaders who have their beautiful residences in different locations are also using the same road. I would like to know their view about the pathetic road condition. Do they have any public concern? They have thrown the public into dustbin forcing to inhale air pollution.

Govt. officials, VVIP, rich people and so on can escape from this bad road travelling by air, that is why Helicopter service is opened recently. This is for them not for common people. As mentioned earlier Dimapur is the only Metropolitan City where people from all walks of life are going and coming including foreigners

(tourists). They have witnessed the condition of bad roads. Public road is common property. Yet, it is under either Municipal Council or Town Council. They have enough funds through Tax collection. Moreover, state govt. fund is there for city and town development. What is wrong with the concerned leaders today?

There are so many pot-holes, water-logging in every part of the city plus bad smell. Why should public suffer because of these insincere and dishonest leaders?

The present scenario of our road condition is so bad, nobody care for it, no party or group come forward for repairing.

But here is a question, when we talk about road definitely it is under PWD department. What is wrong with this Deptt. We have a ruling govt. Then what about the respective members elected for their constituencies. When election comes they move out to every corner for votes. After election they forget everything and have the least concern. All these happenings are prevailing in our land.

We Nagas are not so sincere and honest only cheating is there in our mindset. Many years back, during British rule they have constructed bungalow (resting houses) which are still in good condition and are used by us even today. The roads constructed by them are still in good condition. Their engineers are efficient workers and were far superior to the present day engineers and workers.

Last but not the least, very often from different places sick persons, pregnant mothers, old men and women are taken to Hospital for treatment. They suffer immensely owing to the bad road condition. Let us therefore, unanimously declare to-day “bad road is the mirror of Nagaland.”

“not get a single drop”.

“Teesta is drying up.

If we share its water, then people of Siliguri, Jalpaiguri will suffer, the farmers will not be able to carry out agricultural activities... I am saying this because I have seen the situation,” she had said in 2017.

Back then, the CM had also referred to her proposal of sharing waters of Torsa, Manshai, Sankosh and Dhansai rivers.

Teesta is crucial for Bangladesh, especially in the leanest period -- from December to March -- when the flow of water comes down to less than 1,000 cusecs from 5,000 cusecs.

means. Conveying deepest regards and respect to the State BJP president, Temjen Imna Along, BJP said Along personally took the crux of the matter upon himself, and had even talked to Ashwini to withdraw the case immediately.

MO said it was worth mentioning that Along, as promised in his earlier statements, had gone all out of his way to see that the PIL was dismissed off at all cost, for the safety and welfare of the Nagas. “The victory that we have witnessed today is an attribution of his (Along) deep concern for the Nagas,” the media officer added.

Hilsa to West Bengal), thinking about the hilsa-loving Bengalis in our state, we opened up a research centre in Diamond Harbour (three years back). They are currently carrying out research work on Hilsa,” she said.

“If they are successful in the research work, we will be able to supply Hilsa to the entire world,” she claimed.

The chief minister also emphasised that there was “no scarcity of Hilsa fish in West Bengal” at the moment.

“During Hilsa season (July to September), we get enough fish from Diamond Harbour and Kolaghat,” she said while replying to a query by Deganga MLA Rahima Bibi.

Bibi had originally posed the question to state irrigation minister Suvendu Adhikari.

Banerjee said when her party came to power in the state, fish were mainly supplied from Raipur and Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh and parts of Andhra Pradesh.

It was then that the state started using 700 agricultural ponds for pisciculture, she added.

NEW DELHI, JUL 2 (PTI): Four out of the five terrorists involved in the Pulwama terror attack were killed, while one was arrested by security forces, Union Minister of State for Home G Kishan Reddy said on Tuesday.

He said in Lok Sabha that probe by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has revealed the links of terrorist module of the proscribed Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), which was responsible for planning and execution of the attack.

Forty CRPF personnel were killed on February 14 in an attack by a suicide bomber on their convoy in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district.

“Out of five accused, one was a suicide bomber.

One accused was arrested, while two others were neutralized during pro-active engagement by the security forces. One of the accused, Mudasir Ahmad Khan alias Mohammed Bhai, was neutralised during proactive engagement by the security forces,” he said replying to a written question.

The minister said a Court of Inquiry is ordered in such cases to look into

BJP not behind Cong MLAs’ resignation: Yeddyurappa BENGALURU, JUL 2 (PTI): Rejecting Congress’s charge that the BJP was behind the resignation of its two MLAs, saffron party’s Karnataka unit chief B S Yeddyurappa Tuesday said it was a ploy to hide “differences” within the ruling party.

A day after the two MLAs sent in their resignations, giving a jolt to the wobbly JD(S)-Congress government, Yeddyurappa also said the BJP have no plans yet to move a noconfidence motion in the Monsoon Session of the state assembly commencing July 12.

“We never said we will carry out any ‘operation’ against the Congress or the JD(S). We had said some disgruntled (MLAs) may come out,” he told reporters here.

He accused state Congress chief Dinesh Gundu Rao of trying to divert attention from the differences among his party leaders by seeking to blame the BJP for the resignations.

On Congress leaders threatening a “reverse operation” against the BJP, he said they had been saying this for the last three months and dared them to carry it out.

“Let them do it...have we said don’t do it? They have been saying this for the last three months, none of us will move. We are all together, 105 BJP MLAs are united,” Yeddyurappa said.

Congress MLAs Anand Singh and Ramesh Jarkiholi sent their resignations to the assembly speaker Monday, dealing a blow to the 13-month old H D Kumaraswamy government, which has been battling dissidence.

Rao had accused the BJP of misusing power and using central agencies to “pressure and blackmail” MLAs in a bid to destabilise the government.

He had said Congress too had the ability to con-

duct a “reverse operation” but had not done it.

“We will not sit silently. If they are involved in such a thing, we also have the opportunity to hit back. We are quite because we don’t want that kind of politics. If they continue, we will respond in the way we want,” Rao had said.

Replying to a question, Yeddyurappa denied being in contact with any disgruntled legislators of the Congress or the JD(S).

There is apprehension in the ruling coalition that a few more MLAs, suspected to be in touch with the BJP, may resign.

Asked whether the BJP had a plan to move a no confidence motion against the

CBI raids 50 locations over banking frauds NSF welcomes dismissal of PIL

NEW DELHI, JUL 2 (PTI): The CBI Tuesday launched a “special drive” against alleged bank fraudsters across the country registering 14 separate cases involving Rs 640 crore of siphoned funds and carrying out coordinated searches at 50 locations in 18 cities across the country, officials said.

The agency teams swooped down at different locations in 12 states across the country in a coordinated action against the promoters and directors of the companies made accused in the cases, they said.

The searches are be-

ing conducted in Delhi, Mumbai, Ludhiana, Thane, Valsad, Pune, Palani, Gaya, Gurugram, Chandigarh, Bhopal, Surat and Kolar among others, they said.

The companies facing action include Mumbai-based Winsome group linked to absconding diamond merchant Jatin Mehta and Tayal group’s Eskay Knit, Delhi-based Naftogaz and SL Consumer Products Limited and Punjab-based International Mega Food Park Ltd and Supreme Tex Mart, they said.

The amount involved in these banking scams is

around Rs 640 crore, they said.

“In a countrywide action relating to bank fraud scams/cases, CBI is conducting a special drive today and has begun searches at more than 50 places in 18 different cities in around 12 states/union territories,” a senior official said.

“A total of 14 cases have been registered against the accused including various companies/ firms, their promoters/directors and bank officials,” the official added.

The search operation is still on, they said.

cause by dismissing the PIL, the federation’s president Ninoto Awomi and general secretary Liremo R Kikon in a statement also commended the “outstanding contributions” made by deputy chief minister Y Patton and State government’s advocate general KN Balgopal towards ensuring that the PIL was quashed for its frivolous nature.

Mentioning that NSF was aware that Patton and others had been camping in New Delhi since the last few days in their sincere bid to uphold the cause of the indigenous Nagas of Nagaland, they said the federation applauded their leadership role in understanding the gravity of the

PIL and pursuing the same with all seriousness, thereby, bringing it to its logical conclusion.

The duo also expressed their displeasure against Upadhyay for trying to mislead Supreme Court through the “nonsensical PIL”, adding his “irresponsible action” had been the cause of unrest and uncertainty in the minds of the Naga people, which the federation would not easily condone.

They said NSF viewed the dismissal of the PIL as a reaffirmation that, despite attempts to create disharmony in the Naga society by external forces using dishonest means, the wishes of the common people would always prevail.

government in the state assembly, Yeddyurappa there was no such plan yet.

“There is no question of it. Our legislature party is yet to meet. Based on the political situation we will take a decision,” he said.

Reacting to the developments, Yeddyurappa had Monday said they only proved there was “large scale unease” in the ruling coalition and the government would collapse under its own weight.

He had also said the BJP would explore constitutional provisions to form a new government in case the Kumaraswamy dispensation falls.

The resignations of the MLAs came at a time when Kumaraswamy was away in the US on a private visit, shocking the Congress whose leaders held a meeting Monday to take stock of the situation.

Anand Singh, a former BJP member who joined the Congress ahead of the assembly elections last year, said he decided to resign over his demands, including creation of a separate Vijayangar district and cancellation of the nod for sale of 3,667 acres of land to JSW Steel in mine-rich Ballari district.

KOLKATA, JUL 2 (PTI): Contending that Bangladesh was “hurt” over the Teesta dispute, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday said she would have shared water from the river with the “friendly” neighbour had the situation been favourable.

“They (Bangladesis) are hurt because we could not share with them Teesta waters... If I had the ability, I would have definitely shared Teesta waters with them... I’ve no problem...

Bangladesh is our friend... no doubt about that.

“Jyoti Basu (when he was the CM) had also shared waters from the Farakka barrage with Bangladesh,” Banerjee said while speaking at the Assembly here.

The Teesta water-sharing deal was set to be signed during the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s visit to Bangladesh in September 2011, but was postponed at the last minute due to objections by Banerjee.

The chief minister had been opposed to Teesta water-sharing pact with Bangladesh, maintaining that people in her region would

New DelhI, Jul 2 (PTI): India still continues to be the fastest growing economy and demonetisation has had no effect on the Indian economy, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman told the Rajya Sabha on July 2. The minister, while responding to supplementaries during the Question Hour, said the manufacturing sector has had a certain fall, but it is not attributable to demonetisation.

She said economic growth is high on the agenda of the government and various reforms are being undertaken in many spheres to improve GDP growth.

Sitharaman said “the moderation in growth momentum in 2018-19 is primarily on account of lower growth in ‘Agriculture and allied’, ‘trade, hotel, transport, storage, communication and services related to broadcasting’ and ‘public administration and defence’ sectors.”

“If the impact of low growth in certain sectors has impacted growth rate, particularly in agriculture and allied activities as also in financial and real estate and professional services, there has been a fall, particularly in agriculture based on third advance estimates, it is believed that there has been a 0.6% decline in the output.”

The unclaimed deposits by life insurers stood at Rs 16,887.66 crore, as in September 2018 while that of non-life insurers was at Rs 989.62 crore, up from Rs 15,229.53 crore and Rs 847.54 crore respectively in March 2018, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman told the Lok Sabha in a written reply on Monday.

The unclaimed deposits rose to Rs 11,494 crore in 2017 from Rs 8,928 crore in 2016, she added.

Of the total unclaimed deposits, the country’s largest bank State Bank of India has the largest share of 2,156.33 crore at the end of 2018, Sitharaman said.

“As far as unclaimed deposits in banks are concerned, in pursuance of the amendment to the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, and insertion of Section 26A in the said Act, RBI has framed the Depositor Education and Awareness Fund (DEAF) Scheme, 2014,” she said.

Over 40 industry representatives, who mostly oppose the tariff measure, attended a public hearing of the initial list on May 15-16.

The US, the UK and the EU said the people of Hong Kong should have right to peaceful protests but urged them to refrain from violence and exercise restraint.

“We advise relevant countries to exercise caution in their words, deeds and stop interfering in Hong Kong’s internal affairs in any form and do not in any form support those engaged in violence and break the law. Do not send any misleading signals or make any wrong moves,” he said.

Asking how they would have reacted to such incidents if it happened in their countries, Geng said, “let us just think, if such violent behaviours happened in the US, the UK and the EU, what will they do with it. Will they just allow it to happen without doing anything”.

“Now similar things happen in Hong Kong, they don’t condemn violence but instead they only want to make criticism and lecture all about peaceful protests and prevention of violence.

The WTO has found wrongdoing on both sides, with the US targeting Airbus and the EU against Boeing.

Airbus Chief Commercial Officer Christian Scherer had said in June that the US-proposed tariffs “defy economic logic” and will pass higher costs onto the consumer. Washington’s move is the latest in a series of trade clashes between US President Donald Trump’s White House and the European Union.

Washington, Jul 2 (PTI): Kamala Harris, the first Indian-origin US Senator and Elizabeth Warren, the Senator from Massachusetts have made steep gains after the first Democratic presidential debate, according to a new opinion poll.

The results of the CNN poll conducted by SSRS indicate a significant tightening in the race among a pack of 23 candidates vying for the Democratic Party nomination. The winner will take on President Donald Trump, a Republican in the November, 2020 presidential election. A rising Democratic Party star and vocal critic of Trump, 54-year-old Harris, if elected, would be the first woman and woman of colour to be the President of the United States.

The Indian-origin Senator, whose mother was born in Tamil Nadu and father was an African-American from Jamaica, in January launched her campaign for the presidential election.

The opinion poll, conducted after the two-night debate last week, found that former US Vice President Joe Biden’s lead over the crowded field has shrunk to a narrow 5 points.

The poll found that 22 per cent of registered voters who are Democrats or Democratic-leaning independents backing Biden, 76, for the party’s presidential nomination, 17 per cent Harris, 15 per cent Warren and 14 per cent Senator Bernie Sanders.

That represents a 10point decline in support for Biden since the last CNN poll in May, while Harris, the Senator from California, has posted a 9-point increase, and Warren, 70, of Massachusetts, has boosted her support by 8 points. No

Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren

other candidates have seen significant movement since the last poll. Harris’ numbers follow a strong showing on the second night of the debates. Among those who watched or followed news coverage about them, 41 per cent say Harris did the best job in the debates, well ahead of the 13 per cent who say Warren had the best performance and 10 per cent who said Biden did.

Among those who say they watched all or most of at least one night of debates, Harris’ showing is even stronger: 46 per cent say she did the best job, 19 per cent Warren, 8 per cent Biden and 5 per cent each named South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and former secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julian Castro, CNN reported.

And 30 per cent of potential Democratic voters now say Harris is the candidate they most want to hear more about, up from 23 per cent who said the same in April. That figure does not include those who say she is their top choice for nominee, the report said. Warren was the lone polling heavyweight on the stage in the first night of the Democratic debates on Wednesday.

On Thursday night, Harris and Biden shared the debate stage and faced off in

one of the most memorable moments of either night.

Harris asked Biden directly about his opposition to federally mandated busing as a means to integrate public schools in the 1970s, and about his comments on working with segregationist politicians during his time in the Senate. The move appears to have worked in her favour, the report said.

Harris and Biden are now about even in support among self-identified Democrats, white voters, younger voters, nonwhite women and those who tuned in to watch the debates.

Harris outpaced him significantly among liberals and whites with college degrees. Warren challenges Biden and Sanders among independents, tops Biden and runs even with Harris and Sanders among liberals, and earns similar numbers to Harris among younger voters, whites and whites with college degrees, the report said.

Biden’s strongest support continues to come among black voters (36 per cent back Biden, 24 per cent Harris, 12 per cent Warren and 9 per cent Sanders) and older voters (34 per cent of seniors back Biden vs. 14 per cent for Harris, 12 per cent for Warren and just 7 per cent for Sanders).

Hanoi, Jul 2 (IANS): African swine fever (ASF) has struck 61 localities across Vietnam, leading to the culling of over 2.84 million pigs or 10.3 per cent of the country’s total pig population.

The country’s Tra Vinh province has become the latest locality to be hit by ASF, the provincial authorities said, noting that a herd of 54 pigs raised by a household in Giong Trom district was affected by the animal disease, Vietnam News Agency reported on Tuesday. Vietnam will focus on developing cattle, poultry and aquatic breeding to compensate for a shortage of pork which is expected to hit the country this year due to ASF, its Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development said late last month. Vietnam reported the first ASF outbreak in February in northern Hung Yen province.

Washington, Jul 2 (IANS): The US government has proposed punitive tariffs on EU goods worth $4 billion, intensifying its trade fight with the European Union over aircraft subsidies. The US Trade Representative’s Office (USTR) on Monday released a supplemental list of 89 tariff sub-categories which includes cheese, pork, pasta, fruits, coffee, whiskey and chemicals as well as metals, among others. The duties will be added to the tariffs on EU exports worth $21 billion announced in April.

“Seriously violating the law, the act tramples the rule of law in Hong Kong, undermines social order and the fundamental interests of Hong Kong, and is a blatant challenge to the bottom line of ‘one country, two systems’,” the spokesperson said, adding that “we strongly condemn this act”.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry meanwhile spoke strongly against the US, the UK and the EU, issuing statement backing peaceful protests in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam, who came under intense criticism at home and abroad, had put off plans to pass the controversial legislation and apologised but the protests continued, calling for its complete withdrawal and her resignation.

July 1 marks the 22nd anniversary of the handing over of Hong Kong to China by the UK in 1997.

China is in quandary over the continued prodemocracy mass protests which at time drew over two million people onto the streets.

Beijing has blocked all references to Hong Kong protests in the vast social media networks to minimise the political impact of such protests in the mainland.

Beijing, Jul 2 (PTI): China on Tuesday warned the US, the UK and the EU against sending any “misleading signals” to the “ultra-radicals” who violently attacked the legislature in Hong Kong, saying Beijing strongly opposes their “gross interference” in the country’s internal affairs.

A group of protestors on Monday broke through the Legislative Council (LegCo) building in Hong Kong and occupied it for several hours. They damaged the building and the furniture inside.

The violence followed weeks of mass protests over a controversial extradition law, which the locals apprehend could be used to send political dissidents from Hong Kong to mainland China for prosecution.

Hong Kong, a former British colony, became a Special Administrative Region of China in 1997, when Britain’s 99-year lease expired.

Sonia opposes move on Rae Bareli railway factory

NEW DELHI, JUL 2 (PTI): UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday opposed in Lok Sabha a railway ministry proposal to corporatize its production units, including the Modern Coach Factory in her Lok Sabha constituency of Rae Bareli, alleging that it was the “first step” towards their privatisation.

Soon after the Congress leader raised the issue during the Zero Hour, the Railways rejected her charge and said the factory will remain under government control.

Slamming the move to corporatize railways’ production units, Gandhi accused the government of selling the country’s assets to private players at a throwaway price. It was a rare instance when Gandhi raised an issue during the Zero Hour in Lok Sabha.

“Those who don’t understand the real meaning of corporatization.... It is actually the first step towards privatisation. They are selling the country’s assets to a handful of private players at a throwaway price. This will leave thousands unemployed,” she said. But, the Railways maintained that “corporatization was not privatisation”.

“What railways means by corporatization is making a government PSU - the Indian Railway Rolling Stock Company- under the Ministry of Railways and shifting the production units including MCF, Rae Bareli to it,” an official said. “This means they will remain under government control but will be better managed as these production will become fully functional PSUs. This will help drive

Sonia Gandhi speaks at parliament in New Delhi.

technology partnership and modernisation,” the official said.

Gandhi, the leader of Congress Parliamentary Party, was the first one to speak during the Zero Hour.

As she rose from her seat, the entire opposition was seen thumping the desks.

Taking a dig at the government, she said the unit was started during the UPA regime to promote “make in India”, which has been taken up by the Modi government.

She said that the MCF is the most modern factory of the Indian Railways and manufactures best coaches at cheapest rates.

“The government has invested heavily in it (MCF).

It is difficult to understand why the government wants to resort to corporatization,” she said.

She said the future of 2,000 workers remains uncertain due to the government’s move.The primary job of the PSU is welfare of the people and not to benefit capitalists, she said.

Gandhi also criticised the government for stopping the practise of having a separate railway budget.

“Can we not expect parliamentary scrutiny for such types of decisions,”

she said.

She also highlighted the condition of Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd, Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd and Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. “Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru had termed Public Sector Undertakings as temples of modern India.

Today, it is sad to see that these temples are under threat,” she said.

An official source pointed out that while the foundation stone of the MCF was laid by the Congress led UPA government in February 2007, construction started only in May 2010. “ T h e f a c t o r y wa s slated to produce 1,000 coaches. However, it was far from achieving its full potential.

“Between 2011-14, it only did minor work on some coaches brought from Kapurthala. Only 375 coaches were ‘refurbished’ between 2011 to 2014 whereas it should have been fully manufacturing coaches. In July 2014, MCF was declared a Production Unit of Indian Railways and now its production capacity has grown by leaps and bounds,” said the source.

Modi pulls up BJP MPs for poor attendance in Parliament

NEW DELHI, JUL 2 (PTI): In the first BJP parliamentary party meeting after he came back to power, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday pulled up party MPs for their poor attendance in Parliament, and asked them to be present during legislative proceedings.

According to sources, the Prime Minister expressed displeasure over the absence of party MPs from Parliament and gave examples to drive his message home.

“How will you feel if you win your election by 2 lakh votes but come to know that your best friend did not vote? How will you feel if a rally by party president Amit Shah in your constituency is cancelled at the last minute?” he asked party MPs, adding that this is how the leadership felt at their absence from Parliament.

The Prime Minister also cited the example of LJP MP Chirag Paswan for his good attendance in Parliament and told BJP MPs to learn from him as to how to come prepared for an issue to participate in parliamentary debates.

Narendra Modi (File)

Modi’s message came in the backdrop of low attendance of BJP MPs during the division of votes on the introduction of triple talaq bill in Lok Sabha on June 21.

There were 186 votes in its suppor t and 74 against, even though the BJP has 303 members in the House and its allies have 50. AIMIM member Asaduddin Owaisi had sought a division of votes when Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad had introduced the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2019, also known as the triple talaq Bill. This is the first legislation tabled by the government in the 17th Lok Sabha.

SC seeks EC response on EVM malfunction complaint

NEW DELHI, JUL 2 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked the Election Commission to respond on a plea seeking to remove the provision which criminalizes the reporting of malfunctioning of the electronic voting machines, if proven false. A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gagoi asked the poll panel to file its reply within two weeks. The court was hearing a plea filed by advocate Sunil Ahya which has sought liberty to register complaint related with EVM malfunctioning.

Ahya said that on August 14 2013, the Conduct of Elections Rules, was amended to insert a new rule 49MA to prescribe a procedure to be followed in case of a complaint realted to the EVM. Ahya told the court that Rule 49MA of the Conduct of Election Rules with Section 177 of Indian Penal Code criminalizes the reporting of malfunctioning of EVM and voter-verified paper audit trail (VVPAT), which may not be fair and just to charge a voter reporting such a complaint.

Vacant reserved category posts at govt depts show BJP’s ‘casteist mindset’

LUCKNOW, JUL 2 (PTI): BSP supremo Mayawati Tuesday accused the BJPled governments at the Centre and in the state of taking scant interest in filling reserved category posts at government departments, saying it was indicative of the party’s “narrow and casteist mindset”.

“Had the BJP governments shown same seriousness in filling the vacant posts meant for the SCs/ STs and OBCs that they had shown in giving reservation on economic basis to the Marathas, members of these deprived sections would have benefitted a little,” the BSP chief said.

Addressing her party leaders here, the BSP president said people belonging to the deprived sections of

Vandalisation of temple, violence in Old Delhi condemnable: Congress

NEW DELHI, JUL 2 (PTI): The Congress on Tuesday termed the vandalisation of a temple and violence in Old Delhi area as “condemnable”, while underlining that the national capital’s law and order is the responsibility of the Modi government.

The agency had attached this bank account in Singapore as part of a provisional order issued under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) last year in September, along with the four Swiss bank accounts, and that order was confirmed by the Adjudicating Authority of the law in March this year.

Centre moves SC over Mehul Choksi’s medical report

The Centre Tuesday moved the Supreme Court challenging a Bombay High Court order which sought fugitive Mehul Choksi’s medical report to ascertain if he was fit to be extradited to India to face trial in various cases, including the USD 2 billion PNB scam.

A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi was told by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, that the high court order may have an adverse impact on the government’s effort to extradite Choksi to India.

The apex court said that it will consider the government’s submission and pass an order on listing of the plea.

The high court had taken note of the submission that Choksi was not keeping well and had sought his medical report to ascertain whether he was fit to travel to India from Antigua.

DP-5141

NEW DELHI, JUL 2 (PTI): The Singapore High Court has ordered freezing of bank deposits worth Rs 44.41 crore, kept in that country by PNB fraud accused Nirav Modi’s sister and brother-in-law, as part of a money laundering probe in India, the ED said Tuesday.

The agency said the bank account is in the name of Pavillion Point Corporation based in the British Virgin Islands, a company that is “beneficially owned”

by Purvi Modi and Maiank Mehta.

The couple are the sister and brother-in-law of Nirav Modi, who is currently under arrest in this alleged bank fraud case in London from where India is seeking his extradition.

The high court has put a freeze on deposits of USD 6.122 million (Rs 44.41 crore) following Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) request on the ground that the money was “proceeds of crime” illegally siphoned off by Nirav Modi from the Punjab National Bank (PNB), it said in a statement.

It was, however, not known immediately when the order was given by the court. The latest order comes a week after four Swiss bank accounts, holding deposits of Rs 283.16 crore, of Nirav Modi and Purvi Modi were similarly “frozen” by authorities in Switzerland as part of this

The trouble began late Sunday night when Aas Mohammad (20) was parking his scooter outside a building. Sanjeev Gupta, a resident of the building, who runs an eatery stall there, objected to it, witnesses said.

A video surfaced online which purportedly showed a man allegedly being beaten up by some people, who were suspected to be drunk, over a parking issue. Senior police officials said three separate cases have been registered in connection with the incident.

“This only goes on to prove the narrow thinking and casteist mindset of the BJP governments,” she stressed.

Referring to the Uttar Pradesh government’s move of bringing 17 OBC castes under the SC list,

the BSP president said this would only increase people’s woes.

Earlier, a similar move was made by the SP government to gain political mileage, she said.

The BSP chief said the manner in which the quota limit was being hiked above 50 per cent in some states, the demand for increasing the quota for SCs/STs and other backward sections in proportion to their population would gain ground.

The BSP president also reviewed organisational matters of Bundelkhand and western UP and asked her partymen to visit those belonging to the “sarv samaj” to take stock of their problems.

Authorities to promote beer cans as shards of beer bottles pose threat to animals in Mt Abu MOUNT ABU (RAJ), JUL 2 (PTI): With shards of beer bottles posing a threat to wild animals in Mount Abu, the district administration has launched an initiative to promote beer cans instead of bottles.

Sub Divisional Officer (Mount Abu) Ravindra Goswami told PTI that empty beer bottles were usually dumped in forest areas and water bodies in large numbers.

When Nakki Lake was cleaned sometime back, thousands of empty beer bottles were recovered from it and three tractors had to be used to shift the bottles, he added.

Glass shards from broken bottles are also found scattered in the Mount Abu wildlife sanctuary area, which harms wild animals like sloth bears and causes problems for tourists.

The officer said a meeting was held with liquor shop licensees recently where they agreed upon the new arrangement which was taken in the interest of ecology and tourism.

There are five licensees in Mount Abu and on an average, 40,000-50,000 bottles

make recommendations which may or may not be accepted by the Lower House.

Chidambaram told the apex court that Ramesh was also one of the petitioners in the Aadhaar case and had challenged the passing of the Aadhaar Act as a money bill.

On September 26 last year, a five-judge Constitution bench of the apex court declared the Centre’s flagship Aadhaar scheme as constitutionally valid but had struck down some of its provisions including its linking with bank accounts, mobile phones and school admissions.

The court had however upheld the passage of the Aadhaar Bill as a money bill by the Lok Sabha.

While one of the judg-

es of the constitution bench had said that Lok Sabha Speaker’s decision to certify the Aadhaar Bill 2016 as a money bill was not immune from judicial review, another judge had said that Aadhaar Act “could not have been passed as money bill”.

The high court had rejected Ramesh’s plea on PMLA amendments saying he has not been able to justify the delay in filing the petition.

The Congress leader said he had come to know about the amendments being through money bills only recently.

The plea had alleged that the amendments made to PMLA were “unconstitutional” and “illegal” as they have no relation to the money bill provisions enumerated in Article 110 of the Constitution.

“Passing the impugned amendments by way of a Money Bill is grossly illegal and is expressly ultra vires the Constitution of India.

Such action bypasses the authority of the Upper House and is a desecration of bicameralism which forms an invaluable part of the basic structure of the Constitution,” he had said in his petition in the high court.

last week, an IAF Jaguar was forced to jettison fuel tanks and small-sized practice bombs over part of a residential neighbourhood in Ambala in Haryana, after it was hit mid-flight by a bird.

News agency ANI, quoting IAF sources, said only one engine was hit and the pilot managed to land the plane safely at the Air Force base in the city.

There were no reports of any casualties.

In January, a Jaguar, which is a deep penetration strike aircraft imported from Europe in the 1970s, crashed in Kushinagar in Uttar Pradesh, after developing technical problems during a routine mission from Gorakhpur. The pilot, Wing Commander Rohit Katoch managed to eject safely from the plane.

NEW DELHI, JUL 2 (PTI): The Supreme Court Tuesday sought response from the Centre on a plea

by Congress MP Jairam Ramesh challenging the amendments made to the money laundering law, PMLA, through money bills since 2015 on the ground that they violated the Constitution.

A bench comprising Justices S A Bobde and B R Gavai issued notice to the Centre on the appeal filed by Ramesh who has challenged the Delhi High Court’s February 28 order dismissing his similar plea.

Senior advocate P Chidambaram, appearing for Ramesh, told the bench that amendments to the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) have been passed through money bills since 2015.

Amendments PMLA were passed through ordinary bills till 2013 but from 2015 to 2018, they were passed as money bills in violation of the Constitution, said the plea.

A money bill is a piece of legislation which can be introduced only in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha cannot amend or reject it.

A senior official of the Western Railway said its suburban services are running between Churchgate and Virar even if the frequency was less.

“Frequency may be less between Vasai Road and Virar due to receipt of outstation trains,” he said.

“Suburban local train service is also badly affected as low lying areas were submerged. The signalling system became dysfunctional, forcing railway administration to suspend local as well as long distance train movement,” said an official from Central Railways.

More than 20 long distance trains in central and western railways have either been cancelled or short terminated at a station near Mumbai due to heavy rainfall, the official said.

arrests ex-police chief Australian police arrest three Mallya arrives at UK high andSLformer defence secretary in counter-terrorism raids court for extradition appeal

London, Jul 2 (PTI): Embattled liquor tycoon Vijay Mallya arrived at the UK High Court on Tuesday as he seeks permission to appeal against an extradition order signed off by UK home secretary Sajid Javid for him to be extradited to India to face alleged fraud and money laundering charges amounting to Rs 9,000 crores. The 63-year-old former Kingfisher Airlines boss said he was feeling “positive” as he entered the Royal Courts of Justice here.

He has already lost a UK High Court “leave to appeal” on paper, leading to an oral hearing of his renewal application this week.

A two-judge bench of the Administrative Court division of the Royal Courts of Justice in London will hear the application, filed in April. During the daylong hearing, listed before Justices George Leggatt and Andrew Popplewell, Mallya’s legal team and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) – arguing on behalf of the Indian government – will go head to head to reiterate factors for and against the businessman’s extradition to Arthur Road Jail in Mumbai.

The judges are likely to reserve their judgment in the case and hand down their ruling in the coming weeks.

In the scenario that Mallya is unsuccessful in his appeal, he must be extradited within 28 days from the appeal decision becoming final.

However, if he is granted permission to appeal, the case will then proceed to a full hearing stage at the UK High Court. The appeal will mark one of the final stages of the appeals process, as

the chances of permission to appeal to the Supreme Court are unlikely if such a permission is already denied at the High Court stage.

“It is not for me to prejudge the outcome of the appeal, but he [Mallya] does face serious challenges in overturning the order for extradition,” said Toby Cadman, co-founder of Guernica 37 International Justice Chambers.

“The right to appeal against an extradition order is not straightforward. His defence will have to prove fairly strong grounds to convince the judges to grant an appeal,” explained Cadman, a UK-based barrister who handles high-profile extradition cases. An appeal to the UK’s Supreme Court is quite a rare prospect in extradition cases such as this one, as Mallya’s defence team would need to have a “point of law of general public importance” certified by the Administrative Court of the High Court.

There is a final recourse for Mallya to approach the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) based in Strasbourg, France, to argue against his extradition to India on human rights grounds by trying to prove a real threat of harm or torture or that he would not receive

a fair trial. “The likelihood of the ECHR intervening in a case such as this is slim indeed as the threshold is very high,” said Cadman, who explained that the European court would take into account that the human rights related arguments had already been taken into account at different levels during the UK court process and that India is democratic country with an established rule of law. Meanwhile, Mallya has continued to make a series of interventions on social media to offer “100 per cent payback” to stateowned Indian banks to cover his now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines’ debt. He remains on bail on an extradition warrant executed by Scotland Yard in April 2017, involving a bail bond worth 650,000 pounds and other restrictions on his travel.

At the end of a yearlong extradition trial at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London last December, Chief Magistrate Emma Arbuthnot had found “clear evidence of dispersal and misapplication of the loan funds” and accepted a prima facie case of fraud and a conspiracy to launder money against Mallya, as presented by the CPS on behalf of the Indian government.

Colombo, Jul 2 (PTI): Sri Lanka’s former defence secretary Hemasiri Fernando and suspended police chief Pujith Jayasundera were arrested on Tuesday, a day after the Attorney General instructed the authorities to charge them for their failure to prevent the Easter terror attacks that claimed 258 lives.

Jayasundera and Fernando were suspended

by President Maithripala Sirisena for their alleged inaction on the intelligence shared by India, which warned of an impending attack by Islamic militants, and thereby, failing to prevent the serial blasts on April 21.

Police Spokesperson SP Ruwan Gunasekara said a group of CID officials arrested Fernando, who was earlier admitted to the National Hospital.

Jayasundara was arrested at the Police Hospital by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), the Colombo Gazette reported.

He was issued notice on Tuesday to appear before the CID to record a statement over the Easter Sunday attacks. However, he fell ill and was admitted to the Police Hospital.

The CID officers visited the hospital and questioned him and later arrested him, the paper said.

In a letter to acting police chief Chandana Wickremaratne, Attorney General Dappula de Livera on Monday said the duo should be tried for “grave crimes against humanity” for their failure to prevent the Easter Sunday bombings.

De Livera also slammed Wickremeratne for not taking any action

Pujith Jayasundera (File)

against the two as directed earlier on June 27. Wickremaratne’s inaction was of a serious nature, he said.

Sirisena had appointed a three-member panel to probe the negligence by the top officials despite the availability of intelligence inputs on the impending attacks.

Both Jayasundera and Fernando have testified before an ongoing parliamentary probe panel on the attacks. Both of them claimed that there was discounting of the seriousness of the threat at the very highest level. Sirisena is the minister-in-charge of defence.

More than 250 people were killed in eight coordinated suicide attacks carried out by local Jihadi group National Thowheed Jammath (NTJ) linked to the ISIS on April 21.

Sirisena has slammed the parliamentary probe as one to pin blame on him and accused Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe of being the mover behind the panel.

The opposition blames the government’s inability to prevent the suicide bombings due to the ongoing power struggle between Sirisena and Wickremesinghe.

Sydney, Jul 2 (IANS): Three men were arrested in Australia on Tuesday during an operation by the New South Wales Joint Counter Terrorism Team targeting a group of people linked to the Islamic State (IS) terror group.

The New South Wales police alleged that the men -- aged 20, 23 and 30 -were planning to carry out a terror attack at one of several prominent Sydney landmarks, media reports said. Later in the day, the men will be transferred to a court where they will be charged with various criminal offences, Efe news reported.

The 20-year-old is expected to be charged with offences including “one count of acts in preparation for a terrorist act” and “one count of engage in preparations for incursions into foreign countries for the purpose of engaging in hostile activities”, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) said in a statement.

New South Walles Police raid a home in Greenacre, Sydney on Tuesday.

The maximum penalty for these is life imprisonment. “It will be alleged in court that the man had made early-stage preparations and had expressed an intention to carry out a terrorist attack in Australia,” the AFP said.

“The man allegedly indicated a range of targets, which included prominent Sydney landmarks and locations, but had not selected a specific target or time to do so,” it said, adding that it will also be alleged that

the man “had indicated a willingness to travel to Afghanistan to fight” with the IS. The 20-year-old and the 23-year-old are expected to be charged with being members of IS, facing 10-year jail sentences.

“It will be alleged in court that both men identified as members of Islamic State to other like-minded people. It will also be alleged the (23-year-old) man was prominent in the global online extremist community,” the statement said.

Taliban overruns area in Afghanistan Pul-e-Khumri (Afghanistan), Jul 2 (IANS): Taliban militants have captured the strategically important Kayan valley in Dushi district of Afghanistan’s northern Baghlan province, District Governor Sahib Dad Ghafoori said on Tuesday.

“Taliban have overrun Kayan valley,” Ghafoori told Xinhua without providing more details. Locals have said that the Taliban fighters captured the area on Monday night after fierce fighting that left a dozen dead and injured from both sides. Observers in Baghlan province believe if the Taliban militants were able to keep control over Kayan valley, they could attack the main highway linking the national capital Kabul to northern Mazar-eSharif and central Bamian cities. Taliban militants have yet to make comment.

inger Celine Dion risked both a wardrobe malfunction and a nasty fall in the name of fashion while in Paris on Monday.

The 51-year-old “Ashes” songstress is currently on the European leg of a tour, with shows in London, Berlin, Manchester and more. She stepped out in Paris over the weekend in a head-turning gown from designer Iris van Herpen that left little to the imagination.

However, the star almost took a tumble to sport a high-fashion look while rushing to her car to avoid a crowd. Her high heel got caught on the bottom of the

mesh dress leading to neardisaster.

The gown sports some wavy lines that play tricks on the eyes, but would have likely come right off had she continued to walk with it pinned to the pavement.

Underneath she appears to be wearing a very low-cut black romper that would have left her mostly exposed in public.

Fortunately for the “My Heart Will Go On” singer, she had someone there to give her a hand and walk her safely to the vehicle. The star has been talking a lot in the past few days about her fashion both on and off the stage.

he troubled James Bond film has suffered another blow after Grace Jones quit her much-hyped role moments after arriving on set.

The diva, 70, who played iconic villain May Day in 1985’s “A View to A Kill,” walked away from the movie after discovering how few lines she’d been given.

Bosses were left frustrated after wasting precious time and money securing a luxury residence for her to stay in near Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire.

It’s the latest setback to befall “Bond 25,” which earlier this month was rocked by three huge explosions on set.

The film was delayed after Bond actor Craig, 51, tweaked ankle ligaments last month, forcing filming to be cancelled.

It had already been thrown off course by the departure of original director Danny Boyle, who quit over a script dispute, in August 2018.

And earlier this month a mutiny erupted on set after his replacement Cary Fukunaga, 40, skipped filming to play on his PlayStation.

Despite its chaotic production, Bond 25 is still scheduled for release on April 3 next year. A spokesman for the film declined to comment.

However, she had too much in the locker for her opponent and easily took the second set to extend her unbeaten record to 13 matches.

Arsenal launch £40m Zaha bid

Lo n d o n, J u l 2 (Agencies): Arsenal have launched a £40m bid for Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha.

The 26-year-old has been heavily linked with the Gunners this summer with it understood the player wants to stay in London and play European football.

However, with Palace already losing Aaron WanBissaka to Manchester United for £50m, the club do not want to sell Zaha and value him at £80m double what Arsenal have initially tabled.

Another factor to consider is that United have a 25 per cent sell on clause after he rejoined Palace from Old Trafford back in 2015.

As a boyhood Arsenal fan, signing for the club would be seen as a dream move with Zaha’s brother Judicael saying, “Wilfried will always hold Crystal Palace and their fans in the highest regard and all the support they have given means the world to him.”

“It’s my brother’s dream though, to play for Arsenal. Given all that Wilfried has given to Crystal Palace to help them remain a Premier League club, I hope Palace will be able to see their way to agreeing a deal with Arsenal that allows Wilfried to realise his dream of playing European Football for the club he’s supported since childhood.”

Lo n d o n, J u l 2 (Agencies): Alberto Moreno has bid farewell to Liverpool after the left back’s five-year spell at the club came to an end.

“Life goes in cycles, and mine at my beloved Liverpool FC has drawn to an end,” he posted on his Twitter account.

“Thank you for making me a better footballer and, above all, a better person ... Finally, a very special thank you to the club’s superb fans, who always supported me.”

The defender is reported to be returning to Spain to play for Villarreal next season.

Mane atoned for his penalty blunder by adding a second on 71 minutes, taking advantage of poor defending from Mohamed Musa off a long ball to run through and score. Given a second penalty chance, Mane made no mistake, tucking the ball into the corner despite a brave attempt by the outstanding Matasi to reach it.

Lo n d o n, J u l 2 (Agencies): Leicester have turned down Manchester United’s £70m bid for Harry Maguire.

United moved ahead of rivals Manchester City in the chase for the England defender by increasing their offer from the initial £65m that both clubs had indicated they would be happy to pay a fortnight ago.

But Leicester have made it clear they are not interested in selling at that price, especially after seeing United pay £50m for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who they feel cannot compare to Maguire in proven international quality and experience.

But to do so, the Roja must first overcome a Peru outfit that has exceeded expectations in Brazil.

Argentina achieved a hat-trick of Copa America titles from 1945 to 1947, when the competition was held annually.

Chile won their maiden Copa America as hosts in 2015 before defending their title a year later at the centenary edition in the US. Managed by Colombian Reinaldo Rueda, the Roja advanced to the semifinals here by overcoming Colombia on penalties in Sao Paulo last Friday.

Vidal said his team would afford great respect to Peru, who clinched a semifinal berth with a penalty shootout win over Uruguay on Saturday. “We will need a perfect match, with great quality because Peru is a very united team, similar to Colombia,” the Barcelona player said. “It will be a very interesting match.”

Cairo, Jul 2 (Agencies): Liverpool star Sadio Mane scored twice after having a penalty saved as Senegal defeated Kenya 3-0 on Monday to book an Africa Cup of Nations last-16 place. The Champions League-winning forward had a timidly-struck first-half penalty saved by Patrick Matasi before making amends with a brace after a goalless opening 45 minutes.

Ismaila Sarr put Senegal ahead on 63 minutes and Mane netted on 71 and 78 minutes, his second goal coming from another penalty. Kenya were reduced to 10 men just before the second penalty was taken with Philemon Otieno sent off for a second yellow card.

A war of words between the coaches preceded the game with France-born Kenya handler Sebastien Migne suggesting Senegal lacked the mental strength to become African champions. Senegal coach Aliou Cisse responded by reminding Migne that his side were ranked 82 places higher in the world and the loss to Algeria was their first in four years in Africa.

The Japanese eighth seed took 2 hours, 10 minutes to complete the 6-4, 7-6(3), 6-4 win over his 113th-ranked opponent on Court 12 at the All England Club.

Nishikori, who reached the French Open quarterfinals last month, started the match aggressively.

He held serve throughout the opening set but allowed Monteiro to force his way to a tie-breaker in the second.

The 29-year-old world No. 7 saved a break point in the third before closing out a comfortable win.

“It’s been a while since my last tournament on grass, but I made a good start and played confidently,” Nishikori said.

“I want to play with this kind of rhythm as much as possible. There are a few things I’ll try to fix for my next match.”

Lo n d o n, J u l 2 (Agencies): Angelique Kerber solved the problem of the Tatjana Maria forehand slice as she began her Wimbledon title defence with a straight-sets win on Centre Court.

An all-German battle juxtaposed the conventional game of left-hander Kerber with the peculiar sight of Maria repeatedly swishing squash shots across the net, often drawing unusual spin and swerve.

Kerber broke serve seven times, but the 31year-old was outfoxed on her own delivery four times while battling to a 6-4 6-3 first-round victory.

India seal WC semi spot

Birmingham, Jul 2 (Agencies): India defeated Bangladesh by 28 runs at Edgbaston on Tuesday to enter the semi-finals of the 2019 Cricket World Cup. Rohit Sharma did the star turn for India yet again.

He became only the 2nd batsman after Kumar Sangakkara to hit 4 hundreds in a single World Cup and in the process became the leading run-scorer in this World Cup. KL Rahul hit 66 while Rishabh Pant smashed an enterprising 48 before Hardik Pandya starred with the ball to ensure India reached the last-four with one game still left to play.

Chasing 315, Bangladesh were in the hunt till the 34th over but all their hopes were dashed when Shakib Al Hasan (66) fell to Hardik Pandya. Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Mushfiqur Rahim and Liton Das failed to make useful contributions.

Bangladesh made a promising enough start but Mohammed Shami made the first breakthrough to remove the dangerous Tamim Iqbal. Yuzvendra Chahal and Jasprit Bumrah picked key wickets at key moments as well but Hardik Pandya’s variations and clever change in pace worked wonders for India.

Sabbir Rahman played a few sterling shots to give his team a ray of hope.

Sabbir found good support in Mohammad Saifuddin (51) and the duo brought up a 50-run stand off 43 balls in the 41st over. Bangladesh needed 86 off the last 9 overs but it was always going to be difficult from thereon with 3 overs left for each of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami.

Sabbir Rahman kept Bangladesh on course but Jasprit Bumrah returned for his final spell and removed him with his first ball.

Earlier after winning the toss, India opted to bat and showed much better intent. Rohit Sharma has been one of the most dangerous batsmen in the World Cup so far and on Tuesday, he showed exactly why he has scored so many runs at the top over the last 4 years.

Rohit and Rahul added 180 for the first wicket - India’s highest opening stand in World Cup history. KL Rahul fell for 77 in the 33rd over while Virat Kohli perished to Mustafizur Rahman in the 39th over. Rishabh Pant raced away to 48 but fell within touching distance of his maiden ODI fifty.

MS Dhoni scored only 35 off 33 balls on a pitch where batsmen have thrived Brief Scores India: 314/9 (Rohit Sharma 104, KL Rahul 77; Mustafizur Rahman 5/59) Bangladesh: 286 all out (Shakib Al Hasan 66; Jasprit Bumrah 4/55, Hardik Pandya 3/60)

Mayank to join Team India today

London, Jul 2 (IANS): Right-handed batsman Mayank Agarwal, who has been named as replacement for Vijay Shankar for the ongoing World Cup, will join Team India in Leeds on Wednesday, BCCI confirmed this development in a statement on Tuesday.

Shankar was on Monday ruled out of the World Cup as he sustained a toe injury in the nets while batting against Jasprit Bumrah. Mayank was named as his replacement and it was approved by ICC’s technical committee.

Mayank made his Test debut last December against Australia, but is yet to make his bow in the 50-over format. In List-A cricket for Karnataka, the 28-year-old has played 75 games since making his debut in 2012, scoring 3,605 runs at an average of 48.71.

India will play their final group stage match against Sri Lanka at Headingley, Leeds on Saturday.

Pat Cummins issues warning to World Cup rivals

London, Jul 2 (Agencies): Australia paceman Pat Cummins has fired a warning at the nation’s Cricket World Cup rivals, saying the champions may have “clicked” but are yet to put in a complete performance at the global showpiece.

Aaron Finch’s Australia booked their place in the semi-finals early with a comprehensive win over England and carried on the form with another convincing victory over New Zealand at Lord’s on Saturday.

A relaxed Australia will head into their final

round robin match against already eliminated South Africa in Manchester on Saturday with the benefit of a week’s rest before bigger tests await.

“I think just everything’s clicked, the batting, the bowling, our game plan is the way we’ve wanted to play,” Cummins told reporters.

“Even just everyone being comfortable in their roles and comfortable around each other. I think it takes time but everyone’s in a really good place. The thing we have spoken about, we have managed to scrape home wins without really putting

through a complete performance,” Cummins added.

“With each game, we have got a little bit better.”

Led by pace spearhead Mitchell Starc, Australia’s quicks have bowled superbly throughout the tournament but have gone up a level in recent matches, skittling England’s vaunted batting lineup for 221 before routing New Zealand for 157.

Jason Behrendorff ’s promotion to open the bowling with Starc, with Cummins switched to first change bowler, has been key to the improvement.

Cummins has only

nabbed one wicket from the last two matches but has proved highly effective at keeping the batsmen pinned down during the middle overs. He captured veteran Ross Taylor’s wicket and conceded a miserly 14 runs from his six overs’ work against New Zealand.

The match against South Africa will be a dead rubber but also the first that opener David Warner and former skipper Steve Smith have had against Faf du Plessis’s side since they were suspended for ball-tampering during the Cape Town test in March, 2018.

Warner and Smith, whose one-year ban expired at the end of March, have been jeered at stadiums throughout the tournament but have not let it affect them, with the former leading the tournament’s runs list with 516 and the latter chipping in 287.

Cummins did not feel the ball-tampering history would add much significance to the Proteas game.

“I know Dave and Smithy have played quite a bit with (South Africa’s players) in IPL and played heaps of times before so I wouldn’t have thought so,” he said.
