NSCN (R) condemns killing of 4 cadres

DIMAPUR, JUL 8 (NPN): NSCN (Reformation) said it vehemently condemned the killing of its cadres by 16 Assam Rifles at Kheti village under Tirap, Arunachal Pradesh.

In a press note, NSCN (R) MIP secretary said out of the four killed, one had recently deserted NSCN (K) and joined NSCN (R) “in the quest for peace” while the other two were civilians. MIP said that the AR troops first cordoned the area and captured all the men alive.

“After committing all atrocities, including parading them naked and beating them black and blue, they first killed two of them playfully making them as human target, later the other two civilians were also killed from point blank range mercilessly to hide their heinous crime”, MIP alleged.

It accused the jawans that in their quest for promotions and medals armed with AFSPA, “didn’t hesitate to commit the crimes in the Naga homeland”. MIP has asked AR to stop “cooking stories of always being fired upon by national workers and killing during the retaliatory action”.

While asking AR not to be naïve and innocent, MIP said “it may be easy for you to fool us but remember; the world is watching your action”.

IT deptt to pursue tax defaulters, undisclosed income: Addl. Commr

State BJP reacts to NPCC remarks

Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, JUL 8 (NPN): Income Tax (IT) department has “huge data on bogus long term capital gain (LTGC), banking transactions, benami transactions etc and would “vehemently” pursue tax defaulters and undisclosed income after expiry of the Income Declaration Scheme (IDS), 2016 time-window (September 30, 2016). Announcing this at the ‘awareness program on IDS 2016’ at Lions Club here on Friday, the additional commissioner of Income Tax Dimapur cum nodal officer for IDS 2016 in North East Region, I.K. Zhimomi, said that IDS 2016 was an opportunity given by the prime minister to the citizens to not only ‘Make in India’ but to ‘make India great again’ by contributing to the nation’s progress.

The awareness programme was organised by Office of the Additional Com-

into the killing of 1,528 persons by the Manipur Police and security forces since 1978.

Holding that armed forces should refrain from resorting to excessive fire power in counter-insurgency operations, Justice Lokur, speaking for the bench, said: “When the state uses such excessive or retaliatory force leading to death, it is referred to as an extra-judicial killing or an extra-judicial execution or as it is called ‘administrative liquidation’.”

“Society and the courts obviously cannot and do not accept such a death caused by the state since it is destructive of the rule of law and plainly unconstitutional,” the court said, adding “it is abundantly clear that the right of selfdefence or private defence falls in one basket and use of excessive force or retaliatory force falls in another basket”.

Reiterating an earlier view taken by the top court, the bench ruled that proceedings could be initiated before a criminal court in the event of the death of a person on account of excessive or retaliatory force by the armed forces.

Rejecting the government’s contention that Manipur was faced with “unconventional war” like situation, the judgment said: “Be that as it may, we need to be clear that the situation in Manipur has never been one of a war or

missioner of Income Tax, Range-Dimapur. Stressing on the ‘absolute immunity’ offered under IDS 2016, Zhimomi appealed to tax defaulters to come forward and declare their assets. Further, additional commissioner said his office was open to all and requested everyone to approach him for any advice or assistance with regards to the Scheme. At the programme, ‘IDS 2016’ was also highlighted through a PPT presentation by IT officer (ITO), Ward-2-Dimapur, Sanasam Sachidananda Singh.

Earlier, deputy commissioner of IT Circle-Dimapur, P. Lokho, who delivered welcome address, presented a brief introduction of the Scheme. Later, ITO Ward-1Dimapur, proposed the vote of thanks followed by interactive session and lunch. It may be mentioned that IDS 2016 is a one-time opportunity to persons, who have not paid full taxes in the past, to declare

their undisclosed incomes and assets voluntarily The scheme shall remain in force for four months, June 1 to September 30, for filing of declarations and payments towards taxes, surcharge and penalty must be made latest by November 30, 2016.

Declarations can be filed online (www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in) or with the jurisdictional Pr. Commissioners of Income-tax across the country. Under the scheme, such income as declared by the eligible persons, would be taxed @ 30% plus a ‘Krishi Kalyan Cess’ of 25% on the taxes payable and a penalty at the rate of 25% of the taxes payable, thereby totalling to 45% of the income declared under the scheme i.e. Rs. 45 will be taxed for Rs.100. Moreover, there will be no enquiry, scrutiny and prosecution in future against declarants in respect of income declared under the Scheme.

an external aggression or an armed rebellion that threatens the security of the country or a part thereof.”

“No such declaration (of war like situation) has been made by the Union of India - explicitly or even implicitly - and nothing has been shown to us that would warrant a conclusion that there is a war or an external aggression or an armed rebellion in Manipur. That is not anybody’s case at all nor has it even been suggested,” the court said.

Taking note of National Human Rights Commission’s submission that it was a “toothless body”, the court sought the government’s response as to whether it was bound by the recommendations of the rights body.

Reiterating that an allegation of excessive force resulting in the death of any person by police or the armed forces in Manipur must be thoroughly enquired into, the court said, that for the time being it was leaving open the decision as to which agency would probe the cases.

The decision on this, the court said, would be taken after amicus curiae Menaka Guruswamy along with EEVFAM representatives revisits all the 1,466 cases as it had already done in 62 cases.

The court said that Guruswamy will prepare a chart of the cases that would be taken up after four weeks.

NEW DELHI, JUL 8 (PTI): Supreme Court today said there would be no “blanket immunity” for the armed forces personnel for causing unjustified deaths until it is determined that the killings had occurred in genuine encounters or insurgency operations.

While dealing with the controversial Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, the apex court said that section 6, dealing with grant of immunity from prosecution, and section 49 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) giving protection for action taken in good faith, was not applicable to cases pertaining to alleged extra-judicial killings in Manipur.

“The use of excessive force or retaliatory force by the Manipur Police or the armed forces of the Union is not permissible,” said a bench of Justice Madan B. Lokur and Justice Uday Umesh Lalit in their judgment, adding that Manipur was not faced with an unconventional war-like situation.

The central government and the army had argued that the Army Act gives immunity to armed forces personnel from being prosecuted by criminal courts.

The court verdict came on the plea by the Extra Judicial Execution Victim Families Association (EEVFAM) which has sought a SIT probe

DIMAPUR, JUL 8 (NPN): Taking serious note of the statement made by NPCC president K.Therie that BJP would not be able to grow in North East region, Nagaland BJP state unit reminded that in the North East, after the 2014 parliamentary elections, the first assembly election was conducted in Assam where the people gave “huge mandate to BJP to run a transparent and corruption free government.”

In a press release, BJP unit spokesman M.Yanghose Sangtam said Assam was the most advanced among the NE states and that the “right thinking people of Assam” were therefore “showing the way to the other north east states by allowing the Lotus to be planted in their home soil.” BJP state unit claimed that now it was only a matter of time before other states like Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and so on to follow suit and allow the “Lotus to grow and flourish in the entire North East.”

(L) Micah X. Johnson, responsible for the killings and Police personnel retaliate.

DALLAS, JUL 8 (AGENCIES): At least one sniper killed five Dallas police officers and wounded another seven in a racially charged attack that ended when police used a robot carrying a bomb to kill him, the city’s shaken police chief said on Friday.

Thursday night killings, at the end of a protest over this week’s pair of fatal shootings of black men by police in Louisiana and Minnesota, added anxiety and fear to the national debate over excessive police force, racial disparities in the justice system and gun violence.

A long string of killings of black men by police in cities including Ferguson, Missouri, New York, Baltimore and Chicago have given rise to the Black Lives Matter movement against excessive police force. The killings have spurred almost two years of

largely peaceful street protests.

Thursday’s shooting sent protesters running in panic while swarms of police found themselves under attack by what they believed to be multiple gunmen using high-powered rifles at ground level and on rooftops.

The suspect was identified as Micah X. Johnson, who was a member of the U.S. Army Reserve, a U.S. government source told Reuters.

During lengthy negotiations with police, the gunman said “the end is coming,” according to Dallas Police Chief David Brown.

“The suspect said he was upset about Black Lives Matter,” said Brown, who is black.

“He said he was upset about the recent police shootings.

The suspect said he was upset at white people. The suspect stated that he wanted to kill

white people, especially white officers.”

Brown declined to say how many people took place in the attack. “We’re going to keep these suspects guessing,” he told reporters at City Hall.

Police said they were questioning two occupants of a Mercedes they had pulled over after seeing a man throwing a camouflage bag inside the back of the vehicle, which then sped off on a downtown street. A woman was also taken into custody near the garage where the standoff took place.

With Thursday’s attack, 26 police officers have been shot and killed in the United States so far this year, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. That is up 44 percent from the 18 officers slain in the same period in 2015, the group said.

SC hears disqualification case against ex-Cong MLAs DIMAPUR, JUL 8 (NPN): Supreme Court on Friday heard the disqualification case involving 8 former Congress MLAs in court no.2 by Justice Anil L. Dave and Justice L. Nageshwara Rao. In a press release, NPCC president K. Therie said the advocate for the defendants pleaded that the case should be sent to the Gauhati High Court, but the Justice replied that the Speaker of Nagaland has delivered his judgement based on Gauhati High Court. “Even if the matter is sent back to Gauhati High Court, they would

simply send back the matter to Supreme Court again. It would be a waste of time,” the Court observed. Senior Advocate Salman Khurshid, former union minister, foreign affairs and law, represented the petitioner. He said that “this is exactly what I have been pleading. It would be nothing more than a waste of time.” NPCC president said the Court rejected the prayer of the defendant and the case was now slated for hearing on July 18, 2016 to consider the merit of the case.

ACAUT questions SVC’s silence over scams DIMAPUR, JUL 8 (NPN): ACAUT Nagaland has questioned that silence of the State Vigilance Commission (SVC) over several scams raised by them including the recent one where six fuel adulteration units were busted jointly by the Dimapur police, district administration and the ACAUT on 27th In a press note, ACAUT media cell stated that such issues should have grabbed the immediate attention of SVC. Alleging that the past record of State Vigilance Commission in solving cases had been nothing short of discouraging, ACAUT said “it will be extreme dereliction of duty if SVC, instead of taking up the case suo moto should wait for the complainants, in this case (fuel adulteration) the ACAUT, to file FIR before it”.

ACAUT highlighted issues like anomalies in procedures of liquor destruction by Excise department in 2014. It said that the procedural lapses meant that above Rs. 30 lakhs

worth of IMFL was missing.

The ACAUT said it was of the strong opinion that “SVC recommended suspension of a few constables and lower ranked officers to cover-up the case of this magnitude by scapegoating lower cadres so as to protect the top fishes in the Excise department which was travesty of justice of the worst kind”.

It further went on to point out the complaint filed in 2015 with regard to alleged backdoor appointments of 36 BDOs. “Sons and daughters of top bureaucrats’ and politicians’ inserted as BDOs probably stopped the Commission from pursuing the issue”, ACAUT said.

In 2016, ACAUT said a case was filed regarding misappropriation of Rs. 402 crores in the Food & Civil Supply department as per CAG report.

Specific cases of siphoning of PDS items were mentioned, however the case seemed to have met its dead end without even starting,

ACAUT said.

“Therefore if one goes by precedence, and knowing that the under par Commission is not known to have solved high profile cases/issues involving powerful politicians and bigwig bureaucrats, and the issue of “fuel adulteration” being precisely this, the outcome and handling of the case by the SVC seems obvious”, ACAUT stated.

If such was the case, ACAUT questioned whether SVC should be declared defunct and powerless department? “Therefore, scrapped in the interest of the public on the grounds of it becoming a liability to the state finance and wasting public money?

It so far appears to be serving only as a decorative arm for the state”, it questioned.

ACAUT has demanded that the SVC live up to the expectation as a duly constituted statutory body and also to take suo moto cognizance of the fuel adulteration case and investigate the connection between the fuel adul-

teration kingpins and the F&CS department since the core issue involves siphoning off of SK OIL. Stating that the criminal aspect of the case was already under investigation

by Dimapur police, ACAUT opined that the SVC should aid the investigation by probing “why several lakh litres of SK oil meant for the poor people should be diverted into the adulteration business with the knowledge of the F&CS department”.

It further felt that “if SVC was unable to take up the case for whatever reasons, the staff and members should honorably resign instead of bringing this body into disrepute time and again”.

ACAUT clarifies

ACAUT in a clarification informed that Dinanath, the on the run kingpin of fuel adulteration racket is the SK Oil power of attorney holder of M/S Yanthan Agency, Wokha, and not M/S Lim Agency as previously rendered.

DIMAPUR: Sekrüzu Area Union (SAU) Phek district, Dimapur has condemned the tragic and mysterious death of sepoy late Vezota Vasa (ATA) on June 26, at Jat regimental centre, Bareilly army cantonment (UP).

In a condemnation, SAU chairman Vekhwutso Vasa termed that late Vasa joined the defense service in order to create the feeling of oneness of the people but he said it has now being presumed that his death within the sepoy barrack was out of “conspiracy and jealousy for tribal people”.

Saying such incidents breed “hatredness” and “diversity” rather than unity, the union while condemning the treacherous act has requested the authorities not to conceal the truth but to deliver justice at the earliest.

DIAMPUR: As announced earlier and part of its first phase of agitation, the forum of employees of HIV and AIDS programme working under Targeted Intervention (TI) in the state, have started wearing black ribbon since July 1 to protest against non release of their salaries for the last seven months (December 2015 till June 2016).

In a press release, Nagaland TI employee forum, said that the protest would continue for the next ten days and on the expiry of the first phase, it would be launching the second phase of agitation.

The employees protested against non-release of funds despite representation submitted to chairman Nagaland State AIDS Control Society (NSACS) on June

21. The representation signed by 495 employees from all the districts demanded that the fund be released before June 30.

However, the forum claimed that NSACS officials failed to respond to its demand. Therefore, the employees have started wearing black ribbons to signify that the HIV and AIDS programme in the state was “death”.

The forum also claimed that non-release of funds led to untold misery of the employees, whereby they were left unpaid and made to “beg and borrow to sustain their livelihood”.

Forum further questioned the leadership of NSACS/NACO authority and NGOs and sought support from the public on the issue.

AGARTALA, JUL 8 (IANS): A top Tripura Police official was on Friday suspended from service on charges of allegedly misappropriating Rs 88 lakh meant for training of tribal and scheduled caste students in Odisha, an official said here.

“The General Administration Department (Personnel and Training) issued a notification suspending senior IPS (Indian Police Service) officer Joydeep Nayak after Chief Minister Manik Sarkar gave his assent,” said a Tripura government official.

order situation in Assam and steps taken to ensure peace in the Northeastern state, official sources said.

Sonowal, who heads the first BJP government in Assam, assumed charge in May. Before becoming the Chief Minister, he was the Union Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs.

The state government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told IANS: “Nayak was suspended following a report and request of the Odisha government. The Tripura government following the request of the Odisha government last month asked Nayak to report to the director (vigilance) of the Odisha government but he went to New Delhi and got himself admitted to a private hospital.” Nayak, who is currently absconding, had gone on deputation to Odisha from Tripura in 2011 and served in several positions. He returned to Tripura in January this year.

According to the Odisha government report, the embezzlement had taken place during Nayak’s deputation with the Odisha Police. At that time, he was posted as Inspector General of the Scheduled Caste

ITANAGAR, JUL 8 (PTI): Arunachal Pradesh government is contemplating to provide internet connectivity and wireless telecom services across the state, an official release said on Friday.

“The state government has aimed at spreading the wireless telecom services, particularly in the remote areas,” Chief Minister Kalikho Pul said in a meeting with BSNL officials here yesterday.

Pul also discussed with the officials about building the required infrastructure for the service.

The Chief Minister emphasized on new GSM mobile connectivity for remote border places such as Anelih, Mipi, Vijaynagar, Pumao, Payum,

(SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) Protection Cell in Cuttack.”

An FIR under the Prevention of Corruption Act was recently lodged with the Odisha Police against Nayak and some other people and director (vigilance) of the Odisha government recently initiated a probe after the fraudulent act was detected by Nayak’s successor.

“The Odisha government sanctioned Rs 88 lakh last year for the skill development of 6,000 SC and ST students.

However, Nayak has been accused of awarding the contract to a Cuttack based private organisation without floating any tender,” the Odisha government report said.

“The money had been spent and fake utilisation certificate had also been submitted within one month of the allocation without providing train-

ing to SC and ST students,” it added. The Odisha Vigilance Department already arrested five people including the cell’s Additional Superintendent of Police Basanta Kumar Pradhan (who was then a deputy superintendent of police of the cell), for their involvement in the irregularities. The Tripura official said that Nayek was supposed to become an Additional Director General of Police, but the Tripura government held the promotion after receiving a preliminary report of the Odisha government on the scam.

Incidentally, Nayak’s innovation of registering police cases through I-click kiosks in Bhubaneswar exclusively for women had earned praise from Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the conference of Director Generals of Police in Guwahati in December 2014.

In a press statement, ZNP, led by former Lok Sabha member Lalduhawma, said that after being in power at the Centre for two years, BJP began to implement its hidden agenda - ‘Hindutva’, by prohibiting cow slaughter and “vandalising worship places of Christians” across the country. Saffronisation of education and imposition of Yoga Day across Mizoram had worried the Mizoram Kohhran Hruaitute Committee (MKHC), the conglomerate of major church leaders in the state, it said.

A senior Home Ministry official said an investigation has been ordered into the activities of IRF, which was registered under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA).

The Home Ministry probe will cover the allegations that foreign funding to IRF was used in political activities and allegations that the NGO’s funds were used to induce people towards Islam and “attracting� youths towards terror, the official said.

All such activities are contrary to the FCRA provisions and any violation invites punitive action.

IRF’s source of foreign funding will also be examined thoroughly by the Home Ministry, the official said.

An online petition has been filed with the Home Ministry listing all the allegations against IRF as well as Naik.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh Friday said CDs of his speeches are being examined for necessary action and asserted that the government will not compromise on the issue of terrorism. “We have taken cognisance of Zakir Naik’s speeches and have given necessary instructions for a probe. A thorough investigation will be done. “CDs of his speeches are being examined,� Singh told reporters on the sidelines of a function here.

The Home Minister said necessary action will be taken in this regard.

Fadnavis expands ministry; Sena settles for 2 more MoS berths

Shiv Sena leader Arjun Khotkar (L) who is inducted as a cabinet minister being greeted by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in Mumbai on Friday. (PTI) MUMBAI, JUL 8 (PTI): Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis Friday expanded his council of ministers by inducting 10 new faces and elevating BJP’s Ram Shinde to Cabinet rank, leaving the bickering ally Shiv Sena to settle for two additional Ministers of State.

Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray skipped the swearing-in ceremony.

The exercise, which re-

flected 45-year-old Fadnavis tightening his hold on the first ever BJP-led regime in the state, raised the strength of the ministry to 41, of which 27 are from the BJP, 12 from Shiv Sena and two from minor partners like Rashtriya Samaj Party and Swabhimani Party.

Six legislators were today sworn-in as Cabinet ministers, including Shinde who was earlier MoS (Home), while two from the Sena took oath

Spl Court denies bail to six suspected ISIS operatives NEW DELHI, JUL 8 (PTI): A special court Friday refused bail to six suspected ISIS operatives, arrested from different parts of the country, for allegedly promoting activities and ideologies of the banned terror outfit and luring the youths to join it.

During in-camera proceedings, District Judge Amarnath denied relief to accused Mohd Azeemusan, Mohd Osama, Akhlaq ur-Rehman, Meeraj, Mohsin Ibrahim Sayyed and Mudabbir Shaikh, and further extended their judicial custody, sources said.

The accused were arrested by the Special Cell of Delhi Police in the case for allegedly having links with ISIS. The Home Ministry had later transferred the case to National Investigation Agency (NIA).

These and other accused were nabbed from various cities including Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Aurangabad.

In the bail plea, advocate M S Khan, who appeared for the accused persons, said, “Period of investigation was extended by this court on June

10 till July 8 and the same has expired today. Neither the charge sheet has been filed nor the period of investigation been extended. Hence the indefeasible right to statutory bail arises and the applicantaccused have become entitled to be released on bail.�

The NIA, however, opposed the counsel’s contention and submitted that the period of probe was extended earlier.

The NIA had earlier taken custody of the accused, saying their custody was required in order to unearth larger conspiracy of the ISIS. It had earlier told the court that during the custodial probe conducted by the Delhi Police, certain names, codes and mobile numbers of some active members and motivator of ISIS, were disclosed by them.

These members were involved in furtherance of activities of their ideologies using internetbased communications like Facebook, Skype and other platforms to lure youths to join the proscribed terrorist organisation, it had claimed.

as Ministers of State at the ceremony held at Vidhan Bhawan here. Governor C Vidyasagar Rao administered the oath of office and secrecy to the new ministers.

Besides Shinde, Pand u r a n g F u n d k a r, Jay k u mar Rawal, Sambhaji Patil Nilangekar and Subhash Deshmukh were inducted as Cabinet ministers BJP’s ally Rashtriya Samaj Party’s (RSP) Mahadev Jankar too was inducted as a Cabinet minister.

The BJP did not oblige the demand for an additional Cabinet berth from Sena.

Sena’s Arjun Khotkar and Gulabrao Patil, BJP’s Ravindra Chavan, Madan Yerawar and Swabhimani Party’s Sadabhau Khot were inducted as MoS. With today’s expansion 24 ministers are of Cabinet rank while 17 are Ministers of State.

Among the Cabinet ministers, 18 are from the BJP, 5 from Shiv Sena and one of Rashtriya Samaj Party. Out of the 17 MoS, BJP has 9, Sena-7 and Swabhimani Party-1.

The main opposition Congress kept away from the ceremony, saying that the state was not going to benefit from the exercise in any way.

Kejriwal gets bail in defamation case by Bidhuri NEW DELHI, JUL 8 (PTI): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was summoned as an accused in a criminal defamation complaint filed

by BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri, was on Friday granted bail by a court here.

Metropolitan Magistrate Harvinder Singh granted the relief to Kejriwal on furnishing of a personal bond of Rs 10,000 after he appeared before the court.

The court has now fixed the matter for further hearing on August 6.

Bidhuri had alleged that Kejriwal had defamed him during an interview to a news channel. He had claimed that during the interview, Kejriwal had falsely said that criminal cases were pending against Bidhuri and a Congress leader but the Delhi Police was not taking action against them.

Bidhuri claimed that no case was pending against him and Kejriwal had defamed him by giving such a statement.

“As far as government is concerned, we will not compromise on terrorism at any cost. Whatever is justified will be done,� he said. “I have asked the Mumbai Police Commissioner to conduct a probe (into Naik’s speeches) and submit a report,�

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had told PTI. Officials said according to an intelligence report the content of the “Peace TV�, in which Naik regularly appears and gives sermons, is “not conducive� to the security environment in the country and poses “security hazard�.

Naik yesterday released a statement, saying he “totally disagreed� that he inspired the act of killing innocent people in Dhaka. “There is not a single talk of mine where I encouraged one to kill another, whether Muslim or non-Muslim.�

Naik’s speeches are believed to have inspired some of the Bangladeshi militants, who killed 22 people, mostly foreigners, at an upscale restaurant in Dhaka last Friday.

Hitting back at BJP for targeting him over sharing dais with Naik, Congress leader Digvijay Singh raked up the issue of Rajnath Singh’s alleged meeting with 2008 Malegaon blast accused Pragya Thakur.

He also posed a question to the ruling BJP, wondering what it would say about Sri Sri Ravi Shankar sharing the stage with Naik. “I am being criticised for sharing stage with Zakir Naik but what about Rajnath Singh ji meeting bomb blast accused Pragya Thakur?�, Singh tweeted.

AAP MLA booked on charges of molesting woman NEW DELHI, JUL 8 (PTI): AAP MLA Prakash Jarwal has been booked for allegedly molesting a woman who had gone to lodge a complaint regarding water crisis at the DJB office in southeast Delhi’s Greater Kailash area, police said today.

The latest police action against the AAP legislator came close in heels of the arrest of Sangam Vihar MLA Dinesh Mohaniya, slapped with similar charges on the basis of complaint by two women who too suffered from severe water crisis in their colony. The FIR in connection with Jarwal’s matter was registered on Wednesday on the basis of the complaint by the married woman who lives in Sangam Vihar area, a police official said. The case has been registered under IPC Sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 505 (Statements conducing to public mischief) and 509 (Word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman), he said.

The woman told police that she had gone to DJB office in Greater Kailash on July 2 to meet a particular officer and complain about severe water crisis in Sangam Vihar L block, when she was confronted by Jarwal’s men, who were present there. They allegedly abused her verbally and threatened her too. She alleged the MLA arrived there in a while and touched her inappropriately.

She also alleged that Jarwal pushed her, following which she fell down, and abused her too before he left the spot.

On June 25, Mohaniya, was arrested on charges of molestation and sexual harassment amid high drama when he was addressing a press conference, triggering an angry reaction from Kejriwal who accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of declaring an “emergency� in Delhi.

HC grants bail to Hardik in 2 cases; asks to stay out of Gujarat for 6 months

AHMEDABAD, JUL 8 (PTI): Gujarat High Court Friday granted bail to Patel quota agitation leader Hardik Patel in two sedition cases with a rider that he will have to stay outside the state for the next six months.

However, Hardik cannot come out of jail for now as another case of mob violence at an MLA office is pending against him in Visnagar town of Mehsana district, in which his bail plea is scheduled to be heard on July 11.

Justice A J Desai granted bail to Hardik with strict conditions, one of them being that he will have to stay outside Gujarat for the next six months and directed his lawyer to give a fresh written undertaking on his client’s behalf that he would not indulge in any activities that would lead to law and order problem. The judge also listed other conditions as well in the written order. The 22-year-old Patel quota stir spearhead has been behind the bars since October 2015, in sedition cases that were filed against him in Ahmedabad and Surat.

During the earlier hearing of the case, Government Pleader Mitesh Amin had opposed Hardik’s plea saying that the state government is apprehensive that if he is let off on bail, he may repeat the offence and his presence outside the jail may create law and order problems in the state.

Hardik’s lawyer Zubin Bharda had told the court that his client is ready to stay out of the state for six months if the court grants bail in order to remove the apprehensions expressed by the state pleader.

During earlier hearings, the government had declined to accept Hardik’s offer of written undertaking for bail, in which he had stated that he would refrain from activities that may affect law and order situation but added he would

Hardik Patel “continue to agitate for grievances of the Patidar community in a peaceful and democratic manner.�

Hardik had approached the high court for bail in the sedition cases, after the lower courts in Surat and Ahmedabad (where there are separate sedition cases against Hardik) refused to grant bail.

Reacting to the HC order today, Hardik said he has faith in the judiciary and added that the future course of the agitation will be decided after he comes out of jail.

Talking to reporters outside the Lajpore jail in Surat, where he was being taken after the court hearing, Hardik said that “in a democracy, the judiciary is supreme. As far as the future agitation is concerned, we will decide on further strategy after coming out of jail.�

Patel community members in many parts of the state, including Hardik’s family members in Viramgam town in Ahmedabad district, welcomed the decision of the high court by bursting crackers and distributing sweets. Hardik, who heads the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS), and his three associates are facing charges under IPC sections 124(A)

(sedition), 121 (A) (conspiracy to wage war against government) and 120 (B) (criminal conspiracy) here.

They are accused of inciting violence to put pressure on the government to accept the demand of OBC reservation for Patels. Hardik’s rally on reservation held in Ahmedabad on August 25 last year had sparked violence, in which, ten people, including one policeman, were killed and public property and vehicles worth crores of rupees were damaged across Gujarat.

Meanwhile, the BJP-led state government said Hardik got bail as it did not oppose his conditional bail in the court.

Congress, however, said that Hardik’s bail was a “setback� to the government which tried to “suppress the voice of the state’s youths.�

The high court had granted bail to Hardik’s core group members Chirag Patel, Ketan Patel and Dinesh Bambhania, a couple of months back after they submitted a written undertaking stating that they would not indulge in any activity that may cause law and order problem. Government spokesperson Nitin Patel said Hardik and others got a conditional bail earlier as the government decided not to oppose them. “Hardik’s three friends were granted bail after government agreed to their written undertaking. Government had said it has no problem with conditional bail to Hardik and government pleader had conveyed this to the court by not opposing conditional bail.

Hardik got bail in two sedition cases, but in Visnagar case he is yet to get bail. I believe the court will consider the matter worth granting him bail,�

Patel said.

In the name of religion

C

ontroversial Indian-born Islamic televangelist Dr.Zakir Naik, a medical graduate by training, has become a hotly debated figure for inflaming hatred through his speeches and which were highlighted after Bangladeshi authorities alleged, that two of the bloody killers involved in the July 1 Dhaka bloodbath claimed they were inspired by Zakir. The issue has taken a political twist in India when the BJP and Congress locked horns over the issue. BJP condemned Congress leader Digvijay Singh for having shared a stage with Zakir sometime in 2012 and also for having described Zakir as a messenger of peace.

In return, Digvijay retorted by accusing home minister Rajnath Singh of having met Malegaon terror blast accused Sadhvi Pragya thakur in 2008. Zakir is a brilliant speaker and known Islam apologist who has toured many parts of the world.

He has challenged preachers of other religions to debate about Islam versus their religions, to convince audience that Islam is the true religion.

Besides being a strong believer of debates which serve the purpose of belittling other faiths, Zakir has also said a lot which have now landed him in trouble. He has been banned in the UK and Canada because of his speeches, which have blamed revealing clothes for rapes, and a defense of Osama bin Laden. He is also considered a threat in Bangladesh and India besides some other countries. Zakir’s views have shocked and angered many . To a muslim congregation he says things that have an unmistakable hard line message but which are also cleverly camouflaged to make the message as vague and left to the interpretation. Zakir’s Naik’s most controversial speech revolves around his defence of Osama bin Laden. “If he [Laden] is terrorising America the terrorist [then] I’m with him,” argues Naik. One example is when he said “Every Muslim should be a terrorist” and went on to add, if that Muslim was “terrorising terrorist” then he was following Islam. The words “terrorising terrorist” is open to interpretation. It could be used by ISIS to justify its actions “of terrorising” the “terrorist”( or the European or the Zionist).In another message, Zakir said wife beating in the Muslim world was not necessarily a bad thing. Exposing his deep intolerance, Zakir asked how could Muslims allow temples or churches to come up in an Islamic nation when they were wrong and their worshipping was also wrong. His sexist remarks expose his bent state of mind and remind people that in his vain attempt to be rational, he’s from the dark ages. He had made snide comments about Sania Mirza’s dressing; a shocker that girls shouldn’t be sent to schools where they lose their virginity by the time they pass. His other shocking statements include - “If women wear revealing clothes they have more chances of getting raped”; “Muslims have the right to have sex with their female slaves” and “Death by stoning for extra marital affairs is acceptable according to Sharia law.” Dr Zakir and Islamic apologists keep harping on their religion being a religion of peace. They also say that their religion preaches tolerance and gives equal rights to all including women. Unfortunately, Islam has become synonymous with jihad and all heinous killings and terrorism, fatwa against the infidel, harsh Sharia laws that are harsher than the old Mosiac laws; all of which certainly do not match what people like Zakir say.

DailyDevotion Will To Be Faithful …choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve… —Joshua 24:15 A person’s will is embodied in the actions of the whole person. I cannot give up my will— I must exercise it, putting it into action. I must will to obey, and I must will to receive God’s Spirit. When God gives me a vision of truth, there is never a question of what He will do, but only of what I will do. The Lord has been placing in front of each of us some big proposals and plans. The best thing to do is to remember what you did before when you were touched

by God. Recall the moment when you were saved, or first recognized Jesus, or realized some truth. It was easy then to yield your allegiance to God. Immediately recall those moments each time the Spirit of God brings some new proposal before you. “…choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve….” Your choice must be a deliberate determination— it is not something into which you will automatically drift. And everything else in your life will be held in temporary suspension until you make a decision. The proposal is between you and God— do not “confer with flesh and blood” about it (Galatians 1:16). With every new proposal, the people around us seem to become more and more isolated, and that is where the tension develops. God allows the opinion of His other saints to matter to you, and yet you become less and less certain that others really understand the step you are taking. You have no business trying to find out where God is leading— the only thing God will explain to you is Himself.

Openly declare to Him, “I will be faithful.” But remember that as soon as you choose to be faithful to Jesus Christ, “You are witnesses against yourselves…” (Joshua 24:22).

Don’t consult with other Christians, but simply and freely declare before Him, “I will serve You.” Will to be faithful— and give other people credit for being faithful too.

Post-mortem

Need to promote values in politics VCU Peren clarify on ZPO controversy V

alues play a very important in our lives. From the earlier stage of our life we are bombarded with moral values and the state of the society can be understood by the values it pomotes and upholds just like in a family where the values and principles uphold by our parents greatly influences the conducts of the children’s.

Our stalwart political leaders like Gandhi, Nehru, Ambedkar and others had greatly advocates for values in politics to be followed to bring self-rule and self- discipline.

For Nehru democracy was not just a form of government but it’s a way of life. For him democracy without self-discipline and moral standard is not real democracy. For the Indians no doubt democracy is the best thing happens after independence, it’s like a match made in heaven and at present we boost ourselves as one of the largest democracy of the world but what is the fate of the democratic values becoming of.

In a democracy we elects the representatives to redress the grievances of the people, state and the nations. Earlier our leaders sacrifice themselves for the welfare of the people and the nation but at present they sacrifice the people and the nation for their benefits. Instead of redressal of our grievances they are becoming the reason for our problems in the form of hartal, bandh, communal tensions, nepotism etc .The lust for power for their benefits has made our political leaders and political parties completely erase the word self-discipline and moral values from their dictionaries. The moral yardsticks among our leaders changes with the change of hand in power.

For instance the Bjp led NDA government which cleared 100% FDI investment in most of the major sectors with the intention to create jobs and generate income was the one which vehemently opposed the same move by congress led UPA government with the argument that

T

his is just my layman’s perspective. I never did any hard and fast rule of research for this write-up. In fact I write this because it has been for long in my thoughts and I wished to pour it out on my on behalf and on behalf of so many other Nagas who has had the same thoughts running in their minds. For the highly intellects, my headlines, “Where Does The Road Leads” might give you the gist of ideas the writer is trying to best put forward and by the way I regret in advance, as you may also want to regret at the concluding end as it may not prove your expectations. I beg an apology as I have just mentioned, it’s just my layman perspective. Where Will The Road Lead?

And as I try to go back to the hands of time. In fact to the times where my grandparents and parents where in their worst life struggle, not for the daily bread alone but for the fear of Cold War Politics between the Naga Freedom Fighters, The Civilians and the Cruel Indian Army at that time and day. I may put it as a “Triangle Cold War” back then. I read them in books and of stories narrated down the line of the Struggles and Atrocities our ancestors went through which I believe is in the case of many contempories of mine. In fact reading the books of Nagas and outside writers, it gets to my nerves like I was also part of the struggle my ancestors went through. It was such a pain. Nagas went through the hardest of time; of thick and thin, it was a Do or Die situation many decades back.

With the passage of time, everything had changed. New political developments and ideological warfare leading to defection and

Congress is selling India to foreigners. Similarly the BJP which is trying so hard to pass the GST bill was the one who strongly opposed the move and at present it’s the congress who is opposing the bill it once tried hard to pass. This petty politics to pass popular bills during their tenure and prevent other political parties from passing similar popular bill when they are in power for political gains halts the development phase and drag the nations to underdevelopment for few years.

Some of our politicians and political parties are becoming so insensitive, heartless and shameless that they don’t even leave God, religion, scholars who committed suicide, rape victims, farmers who committed suicide, martyr policemen and soldiers for their political gains. Most of them thump their chest as protector of women, religion caste, nation etc just to gain publicity and for their political benefits. They talk about bullet train, smart city and make all the noise for the celebration of yoga day but they look powerless, clueless for all those poor farmers who are suffering looses because of droughts and constant brutal attack on women.

Better skip the celebration of yoga day next year and use the money for the welfare of the poor helpless farmers who need food and water to survived and not yoga.

Some may argue why bother about it, politics is a dirty game.

But it has its negative impact on the society. MP and MLAs are the representatives of the people. They are the law makers, upholders of truth and deterrent for the wrongdoers.

But as the moral standard among our representatives depletes and the upholders of the law becomes the law breakers they are fast becoming the shield for the corrupt and a harasser for the honest person. This makes the common people helpless and hopeless to get justice. This lack of moral standards and accountability is reflected in our system where the

menace of backdoor appointment, misuse of funds is going on for years without any fear and consequences for the wrong doers.

Therefore values in politics need to be promoted. A political system which starts ignoring values is sure to be doomed. If we start ignoring morality in politics in the name of religion, tribe, nations etc we are inviting virus in our system which will slowly shut down our system. In this matter NBCC along with the support from various church organisation and NGOs are playing an active for the promotions of clean and fair elections.

One of the best examples of an act of honesty by a politicians was shown by Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama who resign after in power for just eight months because he was not able to kept his election promise. Can we expects such an act of commitment from our representatives ?.

Football is known as “the beautiful game” for its grace, athleticism and traditions of fair play, but with the cloud of multi-billion dollar web of match-fixing it’s fast making the beautiful game into a dirty game.

Similarly “Politics” is one of the best thing happen to humanity let’s prevent it from eroding by promoting values in politics for which citizens needs to play a positive role because ultimately we break and make the government.

If we stop selling ourselves during elections we will not lose our voice to seek accountability from our representatives. But if we continue the trend of asking jobs ,money, vehicles for votes then after every election our representatives has no option but to first recovery the money they spend to feed the greedy mouth of the voters and at the end of the day its the state of Nagaland and its people who are the ultimate losers.

n the light of the recent rejoinder and counter rejoinder between the two Zeliang Peoples’s Organization (ZPO), the Village Chairman Union (VCU) of Peren district would like to reveal the history of the formation of ZPO and clear the confusion once and for all. The VCU which comprises of all the village chairman of villages under Peren district would like to set the record straight that ‘Zeliang Peoples’ Organization (Nagaland)’ was formed on 21st June, 2013 at Baudi Hall Jalukie town which was mandated by Village Councils and GBs of Peren district, and other frontal organizations of the Zeliangs, and elected Kiezen Zeliang as its president and Kerang Domta as General Secretary.

It is to be noted that, prior to the formation of this ZPO, few individuals have claimed to have formed ZPO under the leadership of Late. Azu Newmai as president and Kiesamying Iranggaung as general secretary.

However, it was found that neither were they formed with the mandate of the Zeliang people nor with support from any frontal Zeliangs organizations.

Therefore, the general opinion was to dissolve this organization and form a new organization under the same nomenclature with the mandate of the masses.

Accordingly, on 15th June 2013, a joint meeting of Zeme Council and Liangmai Council was convened at Peren town where Late. Azu Newmai and Shri. Kiesamying Iranggaung were also present. It was decided in the meeting that 21st June, 2013 be fixed for election of ZPO’s office bearers. An Elec-

Where does the road lead? mushrooming of ever growing new movements. The younger generation never appreciate. My fellow Naga comrades at War, referring to every factions irrespective. As I sit back and ponder of the thousand precious lives lost at the hands of the Brutish Indian Armed Forces and for that matter amongst us Nagas, it gives me no visible or concrete conclusion. It only tells me of the power struggle amongst us. The present generation is not about weapons we literally handle, it’s about weapons of heads and minds that matter. We have lost many freedom fighters who stood for the Naga cause. They fought their last breathe for Nagas, to free Nagas in our own land. It haunts me to think who will bear the innocent blood shed? Of recent, Nagas and the globe mourned the demise of a very humble God fearing visionary Naga Nationalist Leader, Asu Isak Chishi Swu. On the process, Nagas have lost countable leaders who laid down their lives for the Land - Nagalim with their Comrades. I don’t think they struggled to see fragments and divisions we are ‘IN’ today. Some have breathed their last with a notion in head, ‘My People and My Land Shall Be Free Sooner’ But NO!!! It is blowing in the wind. We Nagas are destroying each other. Here I refer to every Nagas, those with Guns and Bullets, The Legislatures, The Civil Societies, The Churches, The Tribes and Isms, all of us need a lot more pondering. Let us come out of the Cocoon of Tribes, of Village, of clan, of Hohos and so forth. Let us be a ‘Naga First’ We talk of changes but our actions manifests so less. Let Nagas be action oriented people.

We preach Love in the church,

the next moment we bother less to share a Smile like somebody is suppose to beg you for Alms. You preach of Reconciliation, the next hour, Your man guns another man down. You preach ism free society, the next day you fail to voice for that innocent victim of fear you’ll be outnumbered to defend the Truth.

We are all hypocrites, aren’t we?

We preach about a pharasee not knowing that am preaching about my own self! We are so filled with pride and ego not knowing the fact that the president of United States and his first lady with kids served Thanksgiving dinner to homeless veterans in spite of being the most powerful main the world. I think we all need a holistic change in our approaches to life. Our pride has to go off. Yes it has to go.

As we paid our last homage to our great leader, Asu Isak Chishi Swu and though personally I could not be part of any ceremony which was nature denied for me. But I happened to read and listen the speeches delivered by both over the ground and under the ground leaders of Nagaland. Everybody spoke of Reconciliation, Unity and Love with their last fare de well to the Grand Old Man. That was emotional for that moment and time. I doubt if that was on a serious note or just another drama. Nagas are used to shedding crocodile tear and speech. Maybe I am sounding a little harsh and rude but they say truth is bitter and harsh to digest.

But if you and I can shed Crocodile tears, they also say, crocodiles digestive juices are so strong that they can digest steel nails too, let’s digest bitter truth as well. Let us accept the fact that we hardly click to the leadership of somebody else

and that somebody can’t accept my leadership either. This surely has to End or where will the road lead?

We have heard and seen revolution across the globe, it was not the minority Few or that charismatic Leader, it was the collective effort that every revolution had its glorious end. And for us Nagas, No matter, how many A. Z. Phizo or Asu Isak Chishi Swu, to name them.... We may produce as leaders, it will all be a “Wild Goose Chase” or “Chasing for the Winds”... Unless we change our mindset towards another Naga brother. In the name of the famous,” Nagaland For Christ “ let every Naga leader and commoner like me, have the guts to say, ‘I am Sorry ‘ and ‘I Forgive You’. If our Savior Christ can forgive us our sins for crucifying Him literally 2000 years ago for no Sin of His! And of whom we crucify daily for living life of hypocrisy. Who are we individually to keep pointing fingers at the other when we have our shares of mistakes and wrongdoings. I urge all Nagas, in the name of Christian Faith, let us forgive one another, embrace each other and let us UNITE. Nothing can be achieved until and unless we shed off our old skin and Come under one umbrella and that is an “Umbrella of Unity”.

Else I fear, the monotonous rebellious routine will continue. Leaders will go with the lights, we are mortal being and Government of the day will keep changing but our fate will remain Still. To me personally, the greatest Freedom is Freedom from Hatred, Killing, Mistrust, Extortion, Ism..

And You name....... LET NAGAS UNITE IS THE CONCLUSION OF THE WHOLE MATTER or WE WON’T KNOW? , “WHERE THE ROAD LEADS” Vikavi K Assumi

Certain facts the UGs must understand

W

henever any NPG groups, brand the people of Nagaland be it in groups or an individual as anti social the NPGs should also understand that each and every Naga individual dreams of being free from Indian clutch one day and that every single person is a patriot at heart even though we may not be registered in any NPG groups and has been in connection with the freedom struggle one way or the other. Though if the present trend continues that patriotic feeling might diminish.

Another factor the NPGs must understand is that whenever people voice out their resentment it is not an opposition to the Naga sovereignty movement nor against them but it is a cry for want of a better Nagaland. It is in fact pointing out what is and has gone wrong so that corrective measures can be taken accordingly and is it not the duty of a leader to listen and find out the reason why people are crying and bridge the gap, but instead any question raised is branded as anti national which I find very irrational.

NPGs claim that they have the mandate of the people. Mandate for what?

Mandate to fight for sovereignty or mandate to collect multiple tax. Ok, I presume that since you have the mandate to carry the fight for sovereignty you have the legitimacy to collect tax is what you the NPGs claim, but while doing so please remember that you also have the responsibility to built and develop our state as well, if you say you have the legitimacy to collect tax.

And also please recollect that government taxes are collected to provide public amenities such as roads, water supply, educational institutes to cite a few. Here I would like to ask the UGs along with the talk with GoI please start building and developing our state as well, so that by the time we get freedom we will also be economically independent. This I say for you have collected tax for last 60 odd years and I have not seen a single effort taken by any UG groups to develop Nagaland.

Why don’t you create a conducive atmosphere and invite MNCs( Multinational Corporations) to invest in Nagaland, by promising them hassle free ventures. Why don’t you encourage the few rich people of Nagaland to take bold steps in setting

up industries. Why don’t you financially assist young entrepreneurs who have a vision. In this way don’t you think we can boast our economy and be sound in all aspects of life.

ACAUT is the voice people and that one government one tax is the cry of the people for one strong Naga national movement. why is it that any objection or resentment is branded as anti national if the UG,S are not to hear the cries of the people than who are you fighting for.

Are we to carry forward the future of our land by tyranny and dictatorship, remember that with great power comes responsibility. And it is your responsibilities to heed the cry of the people and to built a prosperous Nagaland and not create a Nagaland filled with discontented people and Mafias and multiple taxations and syndicates. It is high time that the UGs start retrospection rather than branding the cries of the people as anti national.

tion Commission headed by D. Abraham was also constituted to conduct election for the same.

Subsequently, in the said general meeting on 21st June, 2013 which was represented by all the Village Councils, GBs and other frontal organization of Peren district, Kiezen Zeliang and Kerang Domta were unanimously elected as its president and general secretary respectively.

Therefore, apropos “Clarification on wrong impression created” which was published in local dailies dated 30th June, 2016 signed by Ramdi Meru and Kiesamyi Iranggaung is totally false, misleading and baseless.

There can be no ZPO other than the one headed by Kiezen Zeliang which was formed and mandated by the Zeliangs. The allegation that ZPO (N) headed

by Kiezen Zeliang was handpicked and created by T. R Zeliang holds no water since he too, being a Zeliang, is just another member under the banner of ZPO. This accusation is politically motivated and an attempt to tarnish the image of the honourable Chief Minister of Nagaland.

T h e r e f o r e, t h e Vi l l a g e Chairman Union Peren would like to clarify for the information of everyone that ZPO headed by Kiezen Zeliang is the real ZPO mandated by the Village Councils and GBs of Peren district and that any individuals claiming themselves as leaders of another ZPO are self styled and doing so for their vested self interest.

Kudos to KABA: CARE team

Y

. Junction Traders Union lauds Kohima Ao Baptist Arogo (KABA) for their commendable initiative in giving the much needed facelift to all the Footbridges located at different junctions within Kohima.

Many citizens of Kohima may still not be aware about these group of enthusiastic youngsters from Kohima Ao Baptist Arogo (KABA) equipped with their paint brushes, buckets and their skills; painstakingly creating beautiful works of Art with such finesse that it appears so effortless at the end of the day!

Not to talk of financial resources, even the skills, effort and time they concentrate towards the undertaking is laudable and worth emulating. Indeed a breed of new generation in an age of gadgets, smart phones and Apps!

Previously a place frequented by not -so-pleasant people, they are now truly public and traffic utility footbridges, apart from the added aestheticism The Y junction traders union further appeal to every citizen to cooperate with the team towards these endeavors by being mindful during the project period.

Having read about the team’s appeal in the local dailies, when few weeks back some reckless miscreants defaced and have thrown away their wares, the Y-Junction Trades Union reiterate the same. It further states that such act is unbecoming of in a civilized society.

Once again congratulation to the KABA: CARE Team for not only upholding the adage “Dignity of Labour” while fulfilling their environmental concerns, but also for “Walking the talk” Good job! God bless!

Reader’s Post

Fuel adulteration exposed Sir,

Through this column, I would like to congratulate the ACAUT for exposing the adulteration of fuel (petrol and diesel). I would liked to request the ACAUT to also expose the adulteration of liquor in Nagaland, which is causing havoc to the lives of people, who drinks it. Adulteration of liquor is more dangerous than adulteration of fuel, since adulteration of fuel only causes wear and tear to the vehicles, which can be repaired or replaced with new one, but adulteration of liquor directly affect our physical, mental and emotional well being and once a human life is lost through adulteration of liquor it cannot be repaired or replaced with a new one. As a lay man, I would also like to request the Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) to share their expert opinion on the opening of liquor shop in hundreds on Sunday.

Imti, Dimapur

NEW DELHI, JUL 8 (PTI): Supreme Court Friday refused to entertain a Delhi government plea that the High Court be asked to first decide the preliminary issue as to whether it has the jurisdiction over disputes between the Centre and the state or is it “exclusively” triable by the apex court.

The apex court also asked the Delhi government, which had moved the High Court seeking judgment on a acope of its powers under Article 239 AA of the Constitution, to approach it only after the Delhi High Court decides all the issues including the preliminary issue as to whether it has the jurisdiction over the dispute.

A bench of Justices Dipak Misra and U U Lalit said when the High Court has heard the matter and reserved the judgment on all the issues including the preliminary issue of jurisdiction, it will be open to the Delhi government to approach it after the High Court verdict on the entire issue. Disposing of the AAP government appeal, the

bench said the High Court was a “constitutional court” and had the power to decide and interpret constitutional matters like this.

Senior advocate Indira Jaising, appearing for Delhi government, referred to constitutional provisions dealing with the powers of Delhi as a union territory.

“Delhi has an elected and responsible government and judgment of this court applies in this case that the Lt Governor has to run the administration on the aid and advice of the Chief Minister and Council of ministers,” Jaising said, adding that this dispute was exclusively triable by the apex court.

“Tell me why you (Delhi government) knocked the door of the Delhi High Court first. You knocked the doors of the Delhi High Court under Article 226. Now High Court has reserved the judgment and every court has the power to determine its jurisdiction. Whether it is adjudicable under Article 226 or under Article 131, the High Court can very well decide

the jurisdiction,” the bench said. Jaising in her brief arguments said the High Court has no power to decide the dispute of this nature between the Centre and the state and hence it be asked to decide the jurisdictional aspect as the preliminary issue.

The Supreme Court then asked the senior lawyer as to why the Delhi government did not withdraw its plea from the High Court.

However, SC agreed with the submission of the Delhi government that the dispute of the Constitutional nature between two federal entities should be decided expeditiously.

“You have come with the Special Leave Petition (SLP) in the matter when the High Court has already reserved the judgment,” the bench said, adding that High Court is entitled to its views on Constitutional matters as they are “independent”.

“Had it been a (civil) suit or a writ petition, we will have issued notice instantly. What order can we pass today in this case. Why should we tell the High Court that decide this issue or don’t decide it on merits”, the bench said.

Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for the Centre, referred to an earlier order of the apex court asking the Delhi High Court to finalise the matter by the end of July this year.

“High Court had reserved the verdict pursuant to Supreme Court’s order. This is a misconceived SLP,” Rohatgi said. The bench also said “constitutional issues cannot be compromised. Once the matter is pending in the High Court, then it shall decide the issue rightly or wrongly.”

NSCN (R) condemns killing of 4 cadres now ‘cow cess’ Nagas…” While reminding (From p-1) proposed in Terming the incident that the attempt to demoralas not less than the act of ize their cadres would never Haryana a terror outfit, MIP said it bear fruits, MIP said “the had “displayed and proved beyond doubt, the hatred nurtured towards the Nagas and to suppress the Naga people through brutal force in spite of all our good will and efforts to understand each other’s political situation.”

Stating that it was another glaring example of GoI’s dual policy towards Nagas, MIP said “on one had they talk about peace and resolving the issue through negotiations and on the other hand engage in killing the

sacrifices of our youths are a source of inspiration and encouragement.”

Meanwhile, MIP said that the collective leadership has deeply mourned the death of its cadres from Arunachal unit and prayed to God to grant peace and solace to the departed souls and strength to the bereaved family members.

It further said that the sacrifices made by them would go into the annals of Naga history.

State BJP reacts to NPCC remarks

(From p-1) Further, BJP state unit also sought clarify the claim of NPCC working president Ayang Aonok that NDA government allocated only Rs.350 crore as a yearly budget for the state of Nagaland during 2003.

It asserted that it was in fact the BJP-led NDA government under prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee that not only waived off the state deficit of Rs. 350 crore but also allocated additional package of Rs.1050 crores for Nagaland. “This clearly proves that BJP is pro Nagaland and is concerned for the welfare and the future of Naga People,” the state unit claimed.

Govt takes note on suggestions...

(From p-1) Ramola also urged the participants to create awareness and translate their commitment to action. He further advised the responsible officials to seek cooperation of the local community and become a leader in their respective areas.

Amba Jamir from SDFN shared his suggestions needed to be implemented at block and village level, sharing data amongst department and mainstreaming climate/ weather monitoring into DRR strategy, introduction of DRR in school syllabus and various assessment and risk reduction. Later, there was thematic group discussion on various topics- opportunities for community

centred DRR strategies in Nagaland, towards urban risk reduction in Nagaland, data/ information and knowledge information for DRR and emergency mass disaster response strategy and standard operation procedures (SOP) for department and agencies vis-à-vis DRR. Various group leaders also shared their opinions and suggestions. The workshop was organized

by Nagaland State Disaster Management Authority (NSDMA), home department government of Nagaland in collaboration with the sustainable development Forum Nagaland (SDFN), Integrated Mountain Initiative (IMI) and North East centre for technology Application & Research (NECTAR).

CHANDIGARH, JUL 8 (PTI): After Punjab, a proposal has been made to the BJP government in Haryana to levy ‘cow cess’ to generate funds for the welfare of cows in the state.

Haryana Gau Sewa Ayog has proposed the government to levy Rs 2,100 on booking of banquet hall, 5 per cent cess on collection of entertainment tax, Re 1 per bag of foodgrain and sought 50 per cent collections of donations from statemanaged temples for creation of funds for the upkeep of cows in the state.

“We have made proposals to the Haryana government for raising funds for welfare of cows in the state,” Bhani Ram Mangla, Chairman, Haryana Gau Sewa Ayog said today.

“The funds so generated will be spent for the welfare of cows,” he said, adding, “The proposals are under the government’s consideration”.

In Haryana, there are 3.20 lakh cows in gaushalas and 1.17 lakh are stray cows, he said.

In Punjab, the Local Bodies Department had already proposed ‘cow cess’ which included levying cess on the purchase of four wheeler, two wheeler, oil tanker, electricity consumption, AC hall of marriage palace, non-AC hall, cement bag, Indian Made Foreign Liquor and on Punjab Medium Liquor.

Mangla said the state government has decided to set up five cow shelters at Panipat, Bhiwani, Hisar, Sirsa and Yamunanagar to protect and promote “desi” cows in the state.

U n d e r t h e H a r ya n a Gauvansh Sanrakshan and Gausamvardhan Act, cow slaughter would be punishable with rigorous punishment of between three and 10 years, and a fine up to Rs one lakh, he said.

raising hopes that Burhan may also be present as earlier intelligence inputs suggested that both used to move together.

At around 6.15 PM, the encounter ended and scenes of jubilation among the security forces were witnessed after it was found that Burhan, who shot to fame with series of videos and pictures on social networking sites asking youths to join militancy, was among the three dead, the sources said.

A resident of Tral, in the outskirts of Srinagar city, Burhan carried a cash reward of Rs 10 lakh on his head while Sartaz, who was a re-cycled terrorist, was involved in many terror related incidents.

The identity of the third militant was yet to be established.

Burhan’s last video had appeared on the social network after the killing of three policemen at Anantnag in South Kashmir last month in which he had threatened to carry out more attacks.

Burhan is believed to have taken to the gun to avenge his elder brother’s humiliation by the security forces who made him do squats after picking him up apparently without any basis.

S e ve r a l i m a g e s o f Burhan and posts extolling him were uploaded on social networking sites like Facebook which the security agencies had got removed but that did not dent his popularity.

Considered as a ‘Poster Boy’ of Hizbul Mujahideen terror group for wooing Kashmiri youths to militancy, Burhan had joined the militant outfit in 2010 when he was just 15 years of age.

The Chief Minister will be accompanied by party colleague Kumar Vishwas, said Gujarat AAP media convener Harshil Nayak.

As per the schedule released by the party, Kejriwal and Vishwas would arrive at Rajkot Airport by an early morning flight.

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia would also join them during the visit, party sources said. The sources said all the three leaders of AAP would come here with their family members.

SRINAGAR, JUL 8 (PTI): In a big blow to militancy in Jammu and Kashmir, Hizbul Mujahideen’s 21-year-old poster boy Burhan Muzzafar Wani was shot dead on Friday by security forces along with two of his accomplices in Kokernag area, 83 km from here.

The killing of Burhan, son of a headmaster and a school dropout, was described by Director General of J and K Police K Rajendra as a major success for the security forces because he was allegedly instrumental in brainwashing many local boys to take up the gun.

“Yes,” was Rajendra’s cryptic reply to a question whether Burhan was killed in an encounter with security personnel.

Immediately after the news of Burhan’s death spread, pro-Pakistan slogans were heard in downtown Srinagar with people coming out on the roads and burning tyres. Curfew like restrictions were imposed in the area tonight.

Giving details, highlyplaced sources in the state government said the encounter followed a pinpointed information received about the presence of three highlytrained militants in Bumdoora village at Kokernag in South Kashmir.

Police parties swung into action and laid an outer cordon along with army and moved into the village after sealing every exit point, they said, adding after a brief resistance by locals who resorted to stone pelting, the security forces moved in at 3 PM. The security forces had gathered information about the presence of one Hizbul Mujahideen militant Sartaz

New Delhi, Jul 8 (PTI): Income Tax Department has asked its top officers to closely scrutinise high-value transactions and investments in penny stocks to identify potential black money holders who can avail the four-month compliance window ending September 30 to come clean.

In a communication to Principal Chief Commissioners in 18 regions across the country, the department has asked officers to look into Annual Information Returns (AIR), which do not contain valid PANs. The database for ‘NonPAN AIR transactions’ has already been disseminated to Principal Chief Commissioners based on the regions.

It has also made available list of cases related to penny stock transactions for Assessment Year 2009-10 to 2013-14 for identifying potential black money holders. The department has also asked the officials to share data on penny stock transactions with field formations. Principal Chief Commissioners have also been asked to scrutinise “non-filers” and those who have not submitted their response to the tax authorities about non-filing of returns.

In his remarks, President Zuma said that over 100 Indian companies were operating in South Africa and they were playing a “significant role” in the country’s economy and job creation. “We are looking to diversify South Africa’s exports to India,” he said.

Zuma cited defence sectors, deep mining and renewable energy as areas of bilateral cooperation.

According to him, water management, pharmaceuticals and infrastructure development are areas that hold potential in the future.

New Delhi, Jul 8 (IANS): CPI-M General Secretary Sitaram Yechury has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to act to recover huge loans advanced by state-run banks to corporates by naming the top 100 defaulters.

“I urge you as Prime Minister to put into practice an urgent action plan to start recovery of pending loans from the Top 100 borrowers,” Yechury said in an open letter to Modi released to the media on Friday.

“You must begin by making public their names with the due amount; the list is already available with the RBI, your government and the Supreme Court.”

The Marxist leader said no further public money must be given to the public sector banks (PSBs) till all the assets of the defaulters have been monetised. “The failure to do so would mean that your government is making the poor Indians pay for the profligacy of these crony capitalists.”

Yechury said the plan to

“In addition, the restructured standard advances are at Rs 294,729 crore, 4.05 per cent of the gross advances. This means that Rs 855,551 crore of the loans given by our banks have not been returned by the borrowers.”

“Going by their response and the action taken by your government so far, it is highly unlikely that these monies will be returned any time soon.

“Needless to add, this is every single Indian’s money which has been misappropriated by these borrowers, which are mainly big corporates.”

ternational investigation with foreign judges prosecutors and investigators.

Both Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe have said that the Lankan constitution does not permit foreign judges to operate in the country.

Tamil groups and international rights groups demand an international investigation claiming the Sri Lankan judicial system is incapable of delivering justice to the victims of rights abuses blamed on both government and the LTTE. The UN has estimated that 40,000 people died, many of them civilians, during Sri Lanka’s civil war that lasted nearly three decades.

It was under Mahinda Rajapaksa’s tenure that the Lankan forces defeated the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, the separatist group that waged armed insurgency against the government.

US to deploy anti-missile system on Korean peninsula: Pentagon Washington, Jul 8 (PTI): The US and South Korea will deploy the advanced THAAD missile defence system on the volatile Korean peninsula as a “defensive measure” to counter the growing security threat from North Korea’s weapons of mass destruction, the Pentagon said.

The deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) anti-missile system was taken jointly by the US and South Korea, the Pentagon said in a late night statement.

The two countries made an alliance decision to deploy THAAD to US Forces Korea (USFK) as a “defensive measure to ensure the security” of South Korea and its people, and to protect alliance military forces from North Korea’s weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile threats, it said. They began talks in February when North Korea launched a long-range rocket after a fourth nuclear test in January. The two allies are

US asks China to follow India Attack on Shiite on SCS dispute resolution shrine in Iraq kills

Dhaka, Jul 8 (PTI): A missing university student has been identified as the suspected terrorist who was killed during an encounter with police after an attack on one of Bangladesh’s biggest Eid gatherings in Sholakia, killing four persons.

Islamist militants carrying bombs and machetes yesterday launched the deadly attack near the Eid prayer gathering in Sholakia in northern Kishoreganj district where at least 200,000 people had gathered to perform prayers.

Several acquaintances said that the young attacker was Abir Rahman, a North South University student who had been missing for the past eight months, Dhaka Tribune reported.

“These acquaintances identified Abir from photos and videos released in the media after the attack that killed two policemen and injured six others,” it said.

Abir, a resident of Boshundhora Residential area, passed his A’ Levels from Bangladesh International Tutorial in 2010 and was pursuing BBA at NSU, the paper said.

Washington, Jul 8 (PTI): The US has asked China to learn from India’s handling of its maritime disputes with its neighbours, ahead of a key ruling by an international arbitral tribunal on rival claims over the strategic South China Sea. China has taken a position of non-acceptance and non-participation on the jurisdiction by the International Court of Arbitration in a case the Philippines has brought against China’s claims to nearly all of the South China Sea (SCS), Abraham Denmark, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defence for East Asia, told lawmakers at a Congressional hearing. “In 2014, the Permanent Court of Arbitration — the same court that will issue a ruling on the South China Sea next week — ruled against India in favour of Bangladesh in a three-decade-old maritime dispute,” he said yesterday.

“To India’s great credit, it accepted the decision and has abided by it, noting at the time that settlement of the issue would enhance mutual understanding and goodwill between the two countries.

This is an example we would encourage China to follow,” the

top Pentagon official said.

The court, based in The Hague, is due to give its ruling next week, raising fears of confrontation in the region. The Philippines has sought a decision from the tribunal regarding the validity of China’s ninedash line as a maritime claim under the Convention, as well as the clarification of maritime entitlements under the Convention of South China Sea islands and other geographic features. “The arbitral tribunal’s upcoming ruling will present an opportunity for those in the region to determine whether the Asia-Pacific’s future will be defined by adherence to international laws and norms that have helped keep the peace and enabled it to prosper, or whether the region’s future will be determined by raw calculations of power,” Denmark said.

“China, in particular, will face an opportunity to stand within an open and principled regional architecture,” he said, adding that the path of pursuing the peaceful resolution of disputes and the adherence to international law has been chosen in the past by those in China’s position.

Baghdad, Jul 8 (AP): The death toll from an attack on a Shiite shrine north of Baghdad has risen to 37, with 62 people wounded, Iraqi officials said today.

The assault on the revered shrine comes less than a week after a bombing in central Baghdad claimed by the Islamic State group killed at least 186 people, fuelling anger at the Iraqi government’s security failings.

The attack began with a volley of mortar fire on Sayyid Mohammed shrine and a nearby market in Balad, 80 kilometres north of the Iraqi capital, late last night.

A suicide bomber first targeted policemen guarding the shrine’s entrance, allowing a second bomber to push into the courtyard with nine gunmen, who targeted security forces and civilians who had gathered inside to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the holiday marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan. A third bomber was killed before he detonated his explosives, police officials said.

working closely to ensure its swift deployment.

The THAAD deployment will contribute to a layered missile defence that will enhance the alliance’s existing missile defence capabilities against the North’s missile threats.

“When the THAAD system is deployed to the Korean Peninsula, it will be focused solely on North Korean nuclear and missile threats and would not be directed towards any third party nations,” the Pentagon said.

“North Korea’s nuclear test and multiple ballistic missile tests, including the recent intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) launches, highlight the grave threat that North Korea poses to the security and stability of the Republic of Korea (RoK) and the entire Asia-Pacific region, it said. Th Pentagon said that following the review that began in February, a joint working group confirmed the military effectiveness of THAAD on the Korean peninsula.

Modi, who arrived from Mozambique, will head on to Tanzania and Kenya on an itinerary aimed at demonstrating India’s engagement in the continent.

India extends support to Bangladesh to fight terrorism Dhaka, Jul 8 (PTI): India today said it will work shoulder-to-shoulder with Bangladesh to protect societies from the threat of “ideologies of hate, violence and terror” in the aftermath of a series of Islamist attacks in the country.

She also offered a “comprehensive approach” to fight the menace. “India stands firmly with Bangladesh in this hour of grief and will work shoulder-to-shoulder with government of Bangladesh against terrorism and to protect our societies from the threat of ideologies of hate, violence and terror.”

“We need to adopt zero tolerance policy and a comprehensive approach in fighting terrorism at all levels,” Bdnews quoted Swaraj as

Serena targets Grand Slam history again

Serena Williams

LONDON, Jul 8 (Agencies): Serena Williams has history in her sights as the defending champion plots to avenge one of the most painful defeats of her career by beating Angelique Kerber in Saturday’s Wimbledon final.

Williams suffered a stunning loss against Kerber in the Australian Open final in January and the rivals will face off for the first time since then when they slug it out for the Wimbledon title.

There was further frustration for Serena when she lost the French Open final to Garbine Muguruza last month. But the 34-year-old has been revitalised at the All England Club and, after taking just over 48 minutes to crush Elena Vesnina in Wimbledon’s quickest ever semi-final, she has the chance to finally equal Steffi Graf ’s Open era record of 22 major titles by lifting the Venus Rosewater Dish for a seventh time.

Making history at Kerber’s expense would be especially sweet, even more so after the fourth seed defeated

Serena’s sister Venus in the semi-finals, and Williams says she has learnt the lessons of Australia. Since failing to complete a calendar Grand Slam last year, Serena has repeatedly had her hunger for more success questioned.

But, having reached a ninth Wimbledon final and 28th in Grand Slams, Williams insists she is still motivated. “Yeah, I have no hunger anymore. Yeah, right,” Serena said in a defiant press conference after her demolition of Vesnina.

“I mean, I think for anyone else in this whole planet, reaching the final would be a wonderful accomplishment.

For me, it’s not enough. But I think that’s what makes me different. That’s what makes me Serena.”

“For me, it’s about obviously holding the trophy and winning, which would make it a better accomplishment for me.”

In combative mood with the media, Serena was quick to quash suggestions the pressure of trying to make history had

been responsible for her failure to win a Grand Slam since last year’s Wimbledon.

“My goal has never been 22. I don’t talk about that anymore,” she snapped. “I love what I do. I work hard at what I do. I’m extremely passionate.

That’s just kind of something that keeps me going.”

Asked where she ranked among the g reat female athletes, Williams took the chance to aim another barb at her detractors. “I prefer ‘one of the greatest athletes of all time’,” she said with not a trace of a smile.

Fortunately for fans hoping for a drama-filled final, Kerber isn’t the type to back down in the face of Serena’s aggression.

The 28-year-old, in her first Wimbledon final and second major title match, couldn’t be in better form as she tries to become the first German woman to win Wimbledon since her idol Graf in 1996.

“I told myself that I would like to play better in the big tournaments. I just believe much more in myself, especially after Australia,” Kerber said. “I’m a little bit more relaxed when I’m going to the tournaments. I know I can trust my tennis.”

After sweeping to the final without dropping a set, Kerber is guaranteed to reach a career-high second in the rankings next week.

But in a warning to Serena, she made it clear that will mean nothing unless she finishes as the champion. “I will go out there with a lot of confidence. I’ll show her I’m there to win. I have to play one of my best matches,” Kerber said.

Klopp signs new MDBA badminton tourney underway Liverpool deal until 2022 London, Jul 8 (Agencies): Jurgen Klopp has signed a new six-year deal with Liverpool exactly nine months after being appointed as manager of the Merseyside club.

The German, who was announced as Brendan Rodgers’s successor on October 8 last year, has committed his future to the Reds until 2022.

His trusted assistants, Zeljko Buvac and Peter Krawietz, have also extended their contracts.

The club’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, initiated the negotiations after seeing enough evidence that Klopp can turn around Liverpool’s fortunes.

He led the side to two finals during his debut season in English football, while resuscitating their famous atmosphere and restoring belief on the pitch, as well as in the stands. FSG appreciate that the 49-year-old’s framework for success dovetails with their strategy, and have no doubt his commitment to fine-tuning Liverpool into a great team rather than a team of great players will be rewarding.

Klopp’s previous contract was up in 2018, with the

option of a further year, but the Reds can now count on a period of prolonged stability as the manager implements his long-term vision.

Having spent seven years in charge of Mainz, before replicating that period of service with Borussia Dortmund, Klopp is set to repeat his longevity at Anfield.

In May, he revealed he would love to become part of the furniture at Liverpool, as was the case at the Opel Arena and Westfalenstadion.

“Seven years at Liverpool hopefully. For me it’s the only way to work to be honest,” he said.

“I don’t feel the pressure.

I cannot change. I feel opportunity. I don’t think I have all the time in the world but I don’t think I’ve ever felt doubt around me. If that’s right I don’t know, maybe I’m not sensitive, but it leaves me completely free to make decisions and completely free to get us all together.”

Klopp is overseeing his first pre-season on Merseyside, which began on July 2, as the backroom team works on getting the squad in prime physical condition ahead of the 2016-17 campaign.

Weightlifters caught doping at 2008 Olympics in retests BUDAPEST, Jul 8 (Agencies): The International Weightlifting Federation says three more weightlifters have tested positive for anabolic steroids at the 2008 Beijing Olympics in retests of their doping samples.

The IWF said the retests of 2008 samples from Sardar Hasanov of Azerbaijan, Tigran Martirosyan of Armenia and Sibel Ozkan of Turkey came back positive.

Hasanov is the third Azeri weightlifter whose retest from the Olympics is positive, following reigning world champion Boyanka Kostova and Intigam Zairov, which could prevent the team from competing at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. Three or more positive results from sample retesting can lead to an Olympics ban.

Summer penalty shootout held Dimapur, Jul 8 (NPN): ACME Club Kuhuboto town organised the 1st Summer Challenger Penalty Shootout on July 2 at DDSC stadium, Dimapur with Kuldeep Jain, 1st Class Contractor as chief guest. The event kicked off with invocation prayer by Kaniho Khuju followed by followed by declaration of the event by the chief guest.

Altogether 28 teams from around Dimapur participated wherein Dr. Chumben Kikon FC emerged as champions while Kupu 5 FC bagged the runners up. Vijay Sharma who was the guest of honour of the event gave away the cash prize of Rs. 50,000 to the winners and Rs. 25,000 to runners up team.

LONDON, Jul 8 (Agencies): Controversial British world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury claimed Thursday his postponed rematch against Wladimir Klitschko, who he sensationally beat last November, will take place on October 29.

The 27-year-old -- who has regularly sparked a furore over his comments on women, paedophiles and homosexuality -- tweeted that his WBA, WBO and IBO belts, which previously belonged to Klitschko, will be on the line when he faces up to the veteran Ukrainian in Manchester.

“Sixteen weeks Saturday ‘till I blast Klitschko spark out,” Fury tweeted. “#Andstill! Can’t wait #manchesteroctober29 #letshaveit.” Fury had originally been due to defend his titles -- he relinquished the IBF belt when he declined to fight the mandatory challenger Vyacheslav Glazkov -- this month, but an ankle injury he suffered while out running in June ruled him out.

Only two days after he made that announcement, the Sunday Mirror alleged he had failed a drugs test last year -he strenuously denied it.

Klitschko, 40, who along with brother Vitali dominated the division for years, admitted earlier this year he had suffered ‘like a dog’ since losing to Fury.

Klitschko, who had not lost in 11 years before his defeat to the British pugilist, also made no secret of his disdain for Fury and his habit of making disparaging remarks.

France sink Germany to enter final Raonic stuns Federer to enter final

many’s relentless pressing meant gaps opened at the back and France took deadly advantage when Neuer flapped a Paul Pogba cross straight to Griezmann, who poked it back past him into the net.

Joshua Kimmich clipped a post with a superb curler, Benedikt Hoewedes headed just over and Lloris produced a brilliant save in stoppage time to deny Kimmich as Germany tried to find a way back.

But for once it was not to be.

It was the same result as when the teams met in a Paris friendly last November but that night will be remembered for the death and destruction caused when Islamist militants struck at the stadium and other locations in the city.

Euro 2016 two years ago.

The hosts will go into the final as strong favourites to emulate the teams of 1984 and 1998, who won the European and world titles on home soil.

Germany will wonder how they failed to score in a game they controlled for long periods but, after Jerome Boateng’s handball gave Italy a lifeline in the quarter-finals, their captain’s similarly inexplicable high hand swung the game France’s way when they most needed it.

France, roared on in a fantastic atmosphere, had torn forward in the opening exchanges and looked full of adventure.

Poorvisha Ram on London, Jul 8 (Agen- Thursday. However, 2010 Comcies): Arsenal and Czech monwealth Games women’s Republic goalkeeper Petr champions duo of Jwala Gutta Cech has announced his international retirement.

The 34-year-old holds a record 121 caps for his country and played all three games as Pavel Vbra’s side exited Euro 2016 at the group stage with just one point.

Cech made his senior international debut in 2002 and went on to represent the Czech Republic at Euro 2004 where they finished third - and the 2006 World Cup before captaining the side at Euro 2008.

While 2006 proved to be his only chance to appear in the World Cup finals, Cech would go on to play for his country at Euro 2012 and Euro 2016 - but has now called time on his international career. “Petr Cech has announced his international retirement - congratulations on a record-breaking career,” Arsenal tweeted.

Cech himself posted a message accompanied by a picture of him in the dressing room with his Czech teammates.

“We lived some amazing moments together - Wishing the team all the best for the future #CZE,” he wrote.

Cech moved to Arsenal last summer from London rivals Chelsea but ended his first season with the Gunners empty-handed as they finished a distant second to surprise Premier League champions Leicester.

During the season, Cech did take the record for the most clean sheets in Premier League history and now, having won four league titles, four FA Cups and the Champions League across town at Chelsea - he is setting his eyes on lifting trophies once again.

midfield and with their full backs hugging the touchlines, constantly probing.

Despite the overwhelming dominance of possession, however, clear chances were few and far between, with Hugo Lloris saving comfortably from Emre Can and Thomas Mueller and Schweinsteiger off target when well-placed.

France showed glimpses of their sharpness in attack towards the end of the half but were gifted the opener when Schweinsteiger palmed the ball as he challenged Patrice Evra from a corner.

Few in the stadium saw it but replays appeared to validate Italian referee Nicola Rizzoli’s decision and Griezmann calmly sent Neuer the wrong way from the spot with the last kick of the half.

It did not take long for the second half to settle into the same pattern with almost all the action taking place in French territory.

Mark Clattenburg to referee final

MARSEILLE, Jul 8 (Agencies): Two-goal Antoine Griezmann fired France into the Euro 2016 final on Thursday when a smash and grab 2-0 victory over a territorially dominant Germany ended 58 years of tournament suffering at the hands of their neighbours.

As it happened: France vs Germany Griezmann drove in a penalty at the end of the first half after a needless handball

by German captain Bastian Schweinsteiger and poked home in the 72nd minute following a blunder by goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to set up a final against Portugal in Paris on Sunday.

World champions Germany dominated the match in terms of possession but their lack of a deadly finisher cost them and razor-sharp Griezmann, whose double took his tournament-leading tally to six, was the difference.

It was the first time France had beaten Germany

and Ashwini Ponnappa gave a walkover to bow out of the tournament. In men’s singles, fourth seeded Jayaram took just 31 minutes to beat Portugal’s Pedro Martins 21-11, 21-15 in straight games as did Pawar, who too won his game convincingly, beating fellow countryman Joshi 21-11, 21-13 in just 35 minutes. Jayaram will now take on Pawar in the quarters.

It was, however, the end of the road for Prannoy, who went down 23-25, 21-23 to South Korea’s Lee Hyun II in a 49-minute contest. Sixth seeded Praneeth went down fighting 21-13, 17-21, 20-22 to Japan’s Kazumasa Sakai in an hourlong battle. In women’s singles,

Mark Clattenburg has been selected as the referee for Sunday’s Euro 2016 final.

The Premier League official will take charge of France-Portugal at the Stade de France six weeks after he was chosen to referee the Champions League final.

He was also the ref for the FA Cup final between Manchester United and Crystal Palace in May. Clattenburg has officiated in three games at the finals to date, including a 2-2 draw between Croatia and the Czech Republic which he briefly halted due to trouble in the stands.

He was also in charge for Belgium’s group-stage defeat to Italy and Poland’s penalty shoot-out win over Switzerland in the last 16.

The 41-year-old has shown 12 yellow cards and is yet to send off a player.

London, Jul 8 (Agencies): Canada’s Milos Raonic won a thrilling five-set contest to reach his first Grand Slam final and end Roger Federer’s hopes of an eighth Wimbledon title for another year.

Federer, 34, was beaten for the first time in 11 Wimbledon semi-finals.

Federer appeared to have nullified the Raonic threat and had victory in sight before the Canadian found another level to clinch the biggest win of his career.

He played superbly in the final set, while Federer - playing his second five-set match in three days - required treatment from the trainer twice in the closing stages.

Raonic recently added John McEnroe to his coaching team of Carlos Moya and Ricardo Piatta, and said the American’s influence had been significant.

Milos Raonic celebrates after defeating Roger Federer.

Raonic came into the semi-final with the most aces and the fastest serve in the tournament, but Federer appeared to have done the hard work as he pushed for a decisive break in the fourth set.

The Swiss had offered up the first set thanks to only his third double fault of the tournament but took the second with four straight points in the tie-break, and then clinched the third as Raonic’s serve started

to misfire.

With a tie-break looming in the fourth, the Centre Court crowd was stunned to see seventime champion Federer double fault twice in succession on his way to letting a 40-0 lead slip, and then steer a forehand into the perfect place for Raonic to fire a backhand past him.

That gave the Canadian the fourth set and, adrenaline now flowing, he took control of the semi-final.

Federer has struggled with injuries this year and came into Wimbledon with a relative lack of matches, and after having treatment to his thigh ahead of the final set, the Swiss needed another visit from the train before dropping serve. Raonic fired a forehand winner to break for 3-1 as Federer tried desperately to stay alive at the net, but once ahead in the set the Canadian was not about to falter, serving his way to a stunning victory.

Leander-Martina crash out

London, Jul 8 (Agencies): A bad day for Indians at Wimbledon worsened as the last remaining Indian hope Leander Paes and his partner Martina Hingis, the defending champions, crashed out at the third round of the mixed doubles event to home player Heather Watson and Finland’s Henri Kontinen 6-3, 3-6, 2-6 in an hour and 31 minutes.

After facing an early breakpoint, the Indo-Swiss pairing rushed to a 4-1 lead and then were pegged back to 4-3 but Hingis produced a glorious return winner to break Watson’s serve. Paes then held serve authoritatively to close out the opening set 6-3.

The second set started on level terms but buoyed by the home crowd support, the British-Finnish pair broke through to lead 4-2.

That single break was sufficient to decide the second set and Kontinen came up with the big serves when needed to level the match at one set apiece.

The weather turned overcast in the third set and a rain shower interrupted the match for about 10 minutes.

On resumption, Paes lost his serve after missing a volley wide after an entertaining rally had brought up break point despite some good retrieving

by Hingis and Paes off some offensive smashes by their opponents.

Watson and Kontinen then utilized the momentum to get a second break as Hingis double faulted at breakpoint.

It was soon over as Watson served out the match with ease to complete the upset win over the sixteenth seeded pairing.

Tanvi lost in straight games 17-21, 15-21 to fifth seeded Beiwen Zhang to bow out of the competition.

The doubles combo of Attri and Reddy continued their fine run, beating Japan’s Yuta Watanabe and Kenya Mitsuhashi in straight games 23-21, 21-13 to set up a clash with another Japanese pair of Takuro Hoki and Yugo Kobayashi in the quarters.

Women’s doubles pair of Meghana Jakkampudi and S. Poorvisha Ram beat local girls Ariel Lee and Sydney Lee 2116, 21-6 in just 18 minutes to set up a clash with another second seeded local pair of Eva Lee and Paula Lynn Obanana.
