Flak on PIL against ILP in Dimapur

Correspondent/Staff Reporter

KOHIMA/DIMAPUR, JUN 24 (NPN): There has been strong reactions from various organisations against the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed in Supreme Court, seeking protection of non-Nagas residing in Dimapur; while the State government was likely to hold consultations with the advocate general before taking steps to address the matter.

It may be recalled that BJP leader Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay had filed the PIL in the apex court challenging certain sections of the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation Act 1873 that gives unbridled power to a State to implement Inner Line Permit (ILP).

When contacted, a senior government official from the Home department informed Nagaland Post that the government had not received any notice from the Supreme Court yet. He said the government would hold legal consultations when it receives the notice and will then act accordingly.

Khatkhati liquor baron shot dead

Mulsingh Rathore (File)

DIPHU, JUN 24: Unidentified miscreants shot dead a well-known liquor businessman Mulsingh Rathore at Khatkhati, Assam on June 23 at around 8.30 p.m.

Saturday.

According to a delayed report, police informed that, a gang of around six to seven masked men in camouflage and armed with AK 47 rifle and pistol stormed inside the residence of Rathore. They then held his wife, son and daughter-in-law at gunpoint to commit robbery.

Rathore rushed home on receiving a distress call from his son. The gang had robbed valuables including jewellery and cash from his residence.

As he entered his home, Rathore was shot several times from close range and later succumbed to injuries following excessive haemorrhage on reaching the hospital.

has condemned that Public Interest litigation (PIL) filed

by BJP leader, Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay in the Supreme Court, against certain sections of BEFR Act of 1873.

WSH president Dr. K. Zhimomi in a release , said the PIL has not only sent a wrong signal to outsiders, but that it was a “direct challenge to the people of Nagaland and our very own existence” that serve as a ploy to make the Supreme Court remove Article 371(A).

“If Updhayay says BEFR is a colonial era regulation, then he should also ask for scrapping for Cr.PC, Sedition etc. which are all archaic laws inherited from the British era,” Zhimomi pointed out. Zhimomi has therefore, appealed to all Nagas, to “rise up unitedly against such diabolic designs with sinister intention” to take away the inherent rights and privileges of Nagas.

He reminded that Nagas’ hospitability was exceptional and outstanding and also admired the world over. However, he warned that trying to take undue advantage of the Naga people’s “docile and generous

nature” may invite serious repercussions.

On the claims that Dimapur was never part of Nagaland when it attained statehood, Zhimomi described it as “a figment of imagination and complete distortion of historical facts”. He maintained that ILP was still very relevant in the present times as it was a tool to safeguard and protect tribals and Nagas from being reduced to a minority in their own land.

Zhimomi reminded that Nagaland state was created under the 16 Point Agreement Article, with a special and unique constitutional provision of Art. 371 (A), which was “ purchased by the blood, sweat and tears of our leaders.”

He reminded that under the purview of the statehood granted to Nagaland, non-Nagas except those who settled prior to 1963, have no right to possess immovable properties.

Zhimomi however lamented that Nagas’ hospitability and complacent nature has been taken for granted by some people.

No compromise on ILP, says NSF: Meanwhile, talking to this correspon-

dent, Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) president Ninoto Awomi said NSF had no idea on what ground the PIL was filed. He however reiterated that NSF’s stand was clear, that Dimapur district should be brought under the purview of the ILP. Awomi also said NSF has taken a serious note of the PIL and reaffirmed its demand that ILP should be extended to Dimapur district with firm determination not to compromise on the ILP issue at any cost.

Meanwhile, it was also learnt that top state BJP leaders are likely to meet on June 25 to discuss this issue as the petition was filed by a “BJP leader”.

NH questions intention of BJP leader: Naga Hoho has expressed “astonishment” over the report that one Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay of the BJP had filed the PIL in Supreme Court seeking protection of non-Nagas, particularly at Dimapur.

NH communication Cell, has questioned the motive of Upadhyay and what had actually prompted him to go to the extent of filing a petition in the apex court.

NH said if Upadhyay had

any apprehension on ILP, he could have addressed it to the State government “or any other appropriate forum” to clear his doubts, instead of going to the court of law.

NH said this clearly showed that Upadhyay had some mala fide intention to malign the Nagas and which could not be easily absolved.

NH said the petitioner had painted Nagas as racist which was something that it could not tolerate.

Further the NH reminded Upadhyay that unlike other States in India, Nagaland was created out of a political agreement and that Dimapur came within the purview of the new State created in 1963.

However, NH maintained that creation of Nagaland was not the final solution to the Naga political issue and therefore peace process and talks between the Government of India and Naga national workers were still going on to find an honourable solution to the vexed Indo-Naga political issue.

The hoho, therefore, urged Upadhyay to withdraw his PIL without de(Cont’d on p-7) lay.

TYNA disassociates from PPC Along assures timely disbursement of scholarship Centre to take call on new Governors for 12 states

DIMAPUR, JUN 24 (NPN): Tamlu, Yongnyah and Namsang Area (TYNA) public forum Monday declared dissociation from Phom Peoples’ Council (PPC) due to what it called “PPC failure to uphold and implement its resolution No. 3 adopted on 25th November 2015.”

In a press release, TYNA president Büphei Phom and general secretary V Longba Phom said the decision to disassociate form PPC was as per the resolution passed by 24 villages under the banner of TYNA on June 18, 2019.

On several occasion, the forum said TYNA people submitted representation to PPC to uphold and implement its resolution. It said TYNA even on June 18, 2019 wrote a letter to PPC, but it failed to uphold its resolution. The forum said declaration of dissociation was “not emotional based and hurried decision” but an outburst of “accumulated

displeasure” over the intentional non-implementation of apex tribal resolution.

Further, the forum said that a representation was submitted to the responsible minister and the state government not to go against the resolution. However, it alleged that the minister Temjen Imna Along “consciously” shrug off and disregarded the genuine appeal of the people.

TYNA forum also stated that on June 18, 2019 it requested the government not to create misunderstanding and disunity among the people, but the government failed to pay heed to the appeal. Denouncing the laying of two foundation stone for a single polytechnic institute, TYNA said the move has “only sown the seed of hatred and division.” TYNA public forum affirmed that it would not rest “until justice was delivered to the people by implementing PPC resolution No. 3 in letter and in spirit.”

Temjen Imna Along (NP)

Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, JUN 24 (NPN): State minister of higher and technical education (H&TE), Temjen Imna Along, has assured to disperse scholarship on time and ensure that students’ scholarship was not misappropriated by anyone.

Along was speaking as the special guest at a thanksgiving programme for Mewar University, organised by students under Eastern Naga Students Union Dimapur (ENSUD), Education Initiative Programme 2014 batch, at DBIDL Hall, Don Bosco campus, here Monday.

Recalling the incident that took place in Uttar Pradesh in 2015, wherein 150 Naga students were thrown out of their respective colleges for not receiving scholarship from government of Nagaland, Along assured that such situation would not happen again.

The minister, on behalf of the government and people of Nagaland, also apologised to those 150 students.

On the occasion, Along also affirmed to eradicate backdoor appointment in his department, saying that reserved seats would be allotted to the deserving candidates.

Breaking silence on the issue of polytechnic institute in Longleng district, Along clarified that the issue was not of politics but of the location. He maintained that an institute has to be in an accessible location, where scholars can travel from their respective homes, and not in the middle of a forest or an island. He said that

the same case was with the Wokha Polytechnic institute at Pangti village.

Along acknowledged the Mewar University for minimizing 50% of tuition fees for Nagas and also giving chance to 71 students out of the 150 students who were thrown out of their university in 2015. He also thanked the Mewar university chairman, Dr. Ashok Kumar Gadiya, and his colleagues for the good Samaritan work.

Also, speaking at the programme, Dr. Ashok Kumar acknowledged the ENSUD Education Initiative Programme 2014 batch for honouring the University and organizing a thanksgiving programme. He stated that it was the university’s aim to help and provide the best educational guidance to Nagas. Former president of ENSUD, Honiko Luklem and secretary, parents fraternity, Er. Caleb Kent also delivered short speeches at the programme.

NEW DELHI, JUN 24 (AGENCIES): As many as 12 states are likely to get a new Governor in the coming weeks, according to a report in The Economic Times.

The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and the Union Home Ministry are reportedly planning a shuffle that could see appointment of new faces.

These 12 states include West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Tripura, Nagaland and Gujarat. Governors in these states will complete their tenures in July. “Since a Governor serves at the pleasure of the President of India, some of them may continue till the monsoon session of Parliament or even further.

Names of some senior BJP politicians are under consideration,” a senior Home Ministry told ET. Gujarat Governor OP Kohli’s tenure will conclude on July 16. Nagaland Governor PB Acharya’s tenure

will end on July 18. Tenures of Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik, West Bengal Governor KN Tripathi and Tripura Governor Kaptan Singh Solanki will end on July 21, 23 and 26, respectively.

Currently, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh and Telangana share a Governor.

This is likely to change. The government could discharge duties of one of the two states from Anandiben Patel and ESL Narasimhan, respectively. The Centre is also likely to appoint a Governor for Mizoram. The position had fallen vacant after BJP member K Rajasekharan contested the 2019 Lok Sabha election from Kerala.

Maharashtra Governor C Vidyasagar Rao, Goa Governor Mridula Sinha and Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Rudabhai Vala’s terms will end later in August.

such antisocial beings have no remorse stealing even utensils and undergarments of others,” he said.

Nakro pointed out that KPA is on the verge being upgraded to degree level, where the institute has to fulfil many criteria, infrastructure being one of them.

He said the government was tirelessly working

to fulfil those criteria, but time and again damaging of government properties, constant theft of laboratory equipment was so rampant that upgradation was far from being materialized practically.

In this regard, the principal said the authority has pursued for land settlement many times in order to pro-

vide proper security and boundary so as to thwart such antisocial elements and to provide a healthy educational environment, but to no avail.

KPA principal also said several appeals have been made to the government for police outpost in the institute, but so far nothing has been materialized.

DIMAPUR, JUN 24 (NPN): All Nagaland College Students’ Union (ANCSU) and Dimapur Chamber of Commerce & Industry (DCCI) are seemingly on a collision course following the latter’s objection to raising of funds by the former.

In a press release issued by its finance secretary Inato Y Chisho and education secretary Kruto Tetseo, the union termed DCCI’s resolution of June 22 as “misleading” and said it deserved to be condemned at the highest level.

ANCSU maintained that any form of fundraise was “purely anticipated on well wishers and not by force.” It demanded to know from DCCI on what grounds it termed “fundraise activities” by student bodies as illegal? It said DDCI had no authority to “dictate the manner in which the student bodies would sustain its

visionary activities.” It also stated that DCCI cannot “harass and boast over the innocent student unions” just because they were financially stable.

ANCSU reminded DCCI that it would oppose those business establishments that harass student community “by words or action” on any occasion.

Fur ther, slamming DCCI putting a ban on individuals and organizations to search for expiry goods and MRP, ANCSU questioned whether the business establishments have openly declared they had been and would continue to practice illegal sale of expiry goods and tempered MRP? ANCSU said that the union along with consumers and other concerned organisations would continue to check illegal sale of expiry goods and tempered MRPs. It stated that DCCI resolu-

tion “clearly” seemed to be resolution to oppress the students in particular and society in general.

A N C SU, howeve r, hoped that business establishments would continue to extend support to the student community “as an obligation.”

ANCSU pointed out that more than 90% of the total economy of Dimapur market has been occupied by outsiders. It contended that outsiders having been “much benefited” from Dimapur market owed responsibility to contribute towards the citizens in any form when solicited for.

Meanwhile, ACNSU has appealed all the right thinking citizens to come forward and fight against the “unwelcoming resolution” of DCCI. The union affirmed to “outrightly retaliate against “such kind of ill forces”.

IMPHAL, Jun 24: Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh on Monday suggested developing Behiang, a village in Manipur Churachandpur district, bordering with Myanmar as second corridor to South East Asian nations.

Addressing the public during the inauguration of a police station at the border village, Singh said, ImphalBehiang road (Tiddim road) must be developed as the second route which connects the state with South East Asian countries.

police station.

The chief minister said that the police station was set up understanding the need for security of the people residing at far-flung and interior areas like Behiang.

He said that a trade centre would also be developed at Behiang like Moreh to enhance trade activities with neighbouring Myanmar.

Asserting that Churachandpur-Singhat section road was already declared as a national highway, Singh said that he had requested the Centre to upgrade the remaining section from Singhat to Behiang to a national highway as well.

“And I am hopeful that the said section would also become a national highway very soon,” he added.

Assam to set up special group to protect rhinos Guwahati, Jun 24 (PTI): The authorities will set up special rhino protections groups following reports that poachers from other states are targeting Assam’s Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary that has the highest density of rhinos in the world. According to the intelligence reports, poachers from neighbouring Nagaland and Manipur in collusion with local miscreants have targeted the sanctuary where no poaching was reported during the past three years, Morigaon Superintendent of Police Swapnil Deka said. The special rhino protection groups will consist of villagers in vulnerable and sensitive areas near the famed rhino habitat and they will report any suspicious movement of people to the authorities to prevent poaching, he said.

“The success of no poaching during the last

three years in the sanctuary was possible only due to the efforts of the villagers and they must continue to cooperate with the forest and police departments in preventing such incidents,” Deka said.

The SP called upon villagers to share information about the presence of suspected persons in the area promptly to protect the rhinos of the sanctuary.

Po b i t o r a Wi l d l i f e

Sanctuary is a 38 square kilometre park with a core area of 16 sq kms. It has a rhino population of 102, the highest density of rhinos per square kilometre in the world. The 33 revenue villages surrounding the rhino habitat in Central Assam’s Morigaon district form the back bone of rhino protection mechanism in the area, Pobitora Wildlife Sanctaury ranger Mukul Tamuli said.

“The villagers have been playing a key role in preventing rhino hunting in Pobitora but their cooperation is more vital now as it has come to our notice miscreants are roaming in the area to kill rhinos,” he said. Villagers as a community have made Pobitora famous and it has provided various sources of livelihood to the people of the area, particularly through tourism ventures, Chief Executive Officer of bio-diversity conservation group ‘Aaranyak’ Dr Bibhab Talukdar said.

By protecting the rhino, they are protecting the wetland ecology which sustains them in the area, he said.

Talukdar lauded the authorities for formation of the special rhino protection groups from among the villagers from vulnerable areas on the fringe of the wildlife sanctuary.

Mizoram CM asks Puri to check high airfares Aizawl, Jun 24 (PTI): Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga has urged Union Civil Aviation minister Hardeep Singh Puri to rationalise the airfare between Kolkata-Aizawl and Imphal-Aizawl sectors.

In a letter to Puri on Friday, Zoramthanga said the north eastern state has extremely poor air-connectivity with only seven flights a week between Aizawl and Kolkata, as compared to 91 flights a week from Kolkata to Imphal and Agartala.

“The airfare between Kolkata and Aizawl in comparison to airfare in other parts of the country for the

Zoramthanga (File) same sector length and flying time is unrealistically high,” he lamented.

Careful comparison of the airfare between Kolkata - Aizawl with other parts of the country “clearly revealed

that the air flying time between the sector is neither governed by sector-length nor flying time,” he said, adding that it was “arbitrarily fixed”.

Such arbitrary fixation of air fare in the KolkataAizawl sector (only Air India flights operate) adversely affects the entire population of Mizoram.

“Such arbitrary fixation of airfare is not only discriminatory, but it also deliberately violates the law of the land as enshrined in Article 14 of the Indian Constitution,” the chief minister said.

Article 14 of the Con-

stitution of India provides for equality before the law.

The extremely large difference in the airfare between Kolkata-Aizawl (Rs 16,716) and Kolkata-Imphal (Rs 3,916) is Rs 12,800 while the sector length is 241 nautical miles (Kolkata Aizawl) and 325 nautical miles (Kolkata-Imphal).

The airfare between Imphal-Aizawl, which is barely 90 nautical miles (flying time of 20 minutes) is Rs 7,950 which is far higher than Imphal-Kolkata fare of Rs 3,845, a sector distance of 325 nautical miles, and a flying time of one hour and 20 minutes, he said.

BSP will fight all polls alone: Mayawati LU C K N OW / BA L L I A (UP), JUN 24 (PTI): BSP president Mayawati on Monday declared her party in the future will contest all elections “small and big” on its own, signalling the end of the much discussed Bahujan Samaj Party-Samajwadi Party alliance forged for the Lok Sabha polls.

Hours after Mayawati announced her plans of going solo in future elections in a series of tweets, a senior SP leader accused her of “weakening” the fight for social justice. Her announcement came a day after she held a meeting with party workers to review the BSP’s performance in the recent Lok Sabha polls.

“Everyone is aware that forgetting everything of the past as also the anti-BSP and anti-Dalit decisions like reservation in promotions and bad law and order during the SP rule in 20122017, BSP adhered to the ‘gathbandhan dharma’ with the Samajwadi Party in the interest of the country,” she tweeted in Hindi.

“But the SP’s attitude after the elections has forced the BSP to think, will it be possible to defeat the BJP in the future? This is not possible,” she said.

“Therefore, in the interest of the party and the movement, the party will contest all small and big elections on its own strength,” Mayawati added.

BJD MLA arrested for forcing engineer to do sit-ups

MEA proposed manufacture of e-passports on priority: Jaishankar

BHUBANESWAR, JUN 24 (PTI): Odisha Police on Monday arrested newly elected BJD MLA Saroj Kumar Meher for allegedly forcing a junior engineer from a tribal community to do sit-ups in public.

The incident came to light in the beginning of the month when a purported video went viral showing the MLA asking the PWD engineer to do sit-ups in public. The incident took place in Patnagarh assembly segment on June 5.

After statewide furore, Bolangir Collector Arindam Dakua had ordered an enquiry by the sub-collector to verify the allegations.

The enquiry report stated that due to substandard road construction work, the Patnagarh MLA “punished” Jayakanta Sabar in public and also asked the engineer-in-charge to slap him. Meher was booked under different sections of the IPC based on the FIR filed by the engineer’s wife.

Earlier in the day, the police picked up the MLA from a hotel in Nuapada and brought him to Bolangir for questioning.

The MLA had apologised for his action, contending that he was compelled to ask the engineer to do sit-ups to assuage public anger.

NEW DELHI, JUN 24 (PTI): External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar Monday said his ministry has proposed manufacture of e-passports on priority so that the travel document with advanced security features can be rolled out in the near future.

Speaking at the seventh Passport Seva Divas, Jaishankar said the ministry has initiated discussions with the ‘India Security Press’ regarding the project for issuing chip-enabled epassports to the citizens.

“We propose to pursue the manufacture of epassports on priority so that a new passport booklet with advanced security features can be rolled out in the near future,” the minister said.

He said that in line with the commitment made by the government in its previous tenure, the ministry shall continue with the process of opening new Post Office Passport Seva Kendras (POPSK) in every Lok Sabha Constituency where no seva kendras exist today.

“Both our ministries (MEA and Ministry of Communications) are completing the necessary formalities for early inauguration of the POPSK already announced. We would also be announcing more locations for setting-up POPSK after completing the feasibility studies,” he said.

Toll in Barmer tragedy reaches 15, 71 injured BARMER (RAJ), JUN 24 (PTI): The death toll in the Barmer ‘pandal’ collapse tragedy in Rajasthan has climbed to 15, whereas the number of people injured in the incident stood at 71, officials said Monday. The incident took place on Sunday when a pandal fell on the people due to strong winds and heavy rains during a religious programme here.

A ‘Ram Katha’ was organised at a school ground near Rani Bhatiyani temple in Jasol village of the district on Sunday. The pandal was uprooted by strong winds, trapping the people sitting under it.

S Jaishankar (File) “Last five years of passport services delivered by the ministry constituted a passport revolution. The mandate of the MEA is to ensure good governance and a transparent, efficient, timely, effective, reliable, assured and accountable public service delivery system,” he said.

Noting that on average, more than one crore passports are issued every year, Jaishankar thanked Communications Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad for enabling opening of 412 POPSKs since January 2017.

“Together with the 93 Passport Seva Kendras which are already functional, this has taken the total number of PSKs in

Plea for ILP

hile most laws framed by the British colonial rulers have either been done away with or drastically changed or even revoked, the Inner Line Permit (ILP) appears to be the sacred cow in the north east. Inner Line Regulation (ILR) was introduced by Britishers in Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation (BEFR) of 1873 titled as -a regulation for the peace and government of certain districts on the Eastern frontier of Bengal. The ILP is obligatory for Indian citizens from outside those states to obtain a permit for entering into the protected state. The document is an effort by the government to regulate movement to certain areas located near the international border of India. ILP is an offshoot of the BEFR 1873, which protected Crown’s interest in the tea, oil and elephant trade by prohibiting “British subjects” from entering into these “Protected Areas” (to prevent them from establishing any commercial venture that could rival the Crown’s agents). Though the ILP was borne out of the BEFR Act of 1873, the former was mainly to restrict the ingress of outsiders into a state or area.

Be it Nagaland, Mizoram or Arunachal Pradesh, the people of these states want the ILP. There are also ongoing demands for the introduction of ILP in Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur and Andaman & Nicobar Islands to regulate entry of outsiders into the state.

With regard to inclusion of Dimapur under the ILP system, the committee set up has in its recommendation stated that “a proper decision needs to be taken by the state government as per the Pros and Cons” mentioned in the report. As per the view of the Law & Justice department in the report, the state government can issue a notification under sub clause 2 of the BEFR, 1873. The department further stated that there is no legal impediment to the extension of ILP system in Dimapur. In its report to the State cabinet on February 15 this year, the committee stressed that while the ILP system should facilitate visits of genuine tourists and legal migrants coming for work, it should be foolproof to ensure that no illegal migrants can enter. This demand for inclusion of Dimapur district (which does not fall under the purview of ILP) has been challenged in the Supreme Court by BJP leader Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay through a Public Interest Litigation (PIL). The litigant stated that Dimapur is home to many other communities from various parts of India and any move to place Dimapur district under ILP amounted to “racial discrimination.” Perhaps it needs to be mentioned, that ILP does not mean that all non-Nagas, many of who are permanent residents and domiciled citizens of Dimapur, will be reduced to the status of aliens. Even in most parts of the state, many domiciled non-Naga citizens continue to carry on with their professions and many in Dimapur, who were born and brought up over decades, own lands and buildings. The main purpose of demand to include Dimapur district under ILP is primarily to check inflow of illegal migrants and nonresident communities from other states. People of the north east, especially the tribals and indigenous people are economically vulnerable and therefore, they want safeguard against being swamped (like in the case of Tripura) through the ILP.

DailyDevotion Reconciling Yourself to the Fact of Sin This is your hour, and the power of darkness.

—Luke 22:53 Not being reconciled to the fact of sin— not recognizing it and refusing to deal with it— produces all the disasters in life. You may talk about the lofty virtues of human nature, but there is something in human nature that will mockingly laugh in the face of every principle you have. If you refuse to agree with the fact that there is wickedness and selfishness, something downright hateful and wrong, in human beings, when it attacks your life, instead of reconciling yourself to it, you will compromise with it and say that it is of no use to battle against it. Have you taken this “hour, and the power of darkness” into account, or do you have a view of yourself which includes no recognition of sin whatsoever? In your human relationships and friendships, have you reconciled yourself to the fact of sin? If not, just around the next corner you will find yourself trapped and you will compromise with it. But if you will reconcile yourself to the fact of sin, you will realize the danger immediately and say, “Yes, I see what this sin would mean.” The recognition of sin does not destroy the basis of friendship— it simply establishes a mutual respect for the fact that the basis of sinful life is disastrous. Always beware of any assessment of life which does not recognize the fact that there is sin.

Jesus Christ never trusted human nature, yet He was never cynical nor suspicious, because He had absolute trust in what He could do for human nature. The pure man or woman is the one who is shielded from harm, not the innocent person. The so-called innocent man or woman is never safe. Men and women have no business trying to be innocent; God demands that they be pure and virtuous. Innocence is the characteristic of a child. Any person is deserving of blame if he is unwilling to reconcile himself to the fact of sin.

ost people who choose dogs seem to have some physical similarity with them.

High heeled coiffured ladies with long legged, high stepping dogs, overweight people with plumper dogs, shaggy haired master and dog. Sadahiko Nakajima is a psychologist at Japan’s Kwansei Gakuin University who has researched not just the notion that humans and their pet dogs look alike, but also why that is so.

In 2009 Nakajima showed how people were able to match dogs and their owners simply by looking at photographs of their faces.

This is one of the many experiments done that reinforce the popular belief that dog and owner have a physical resemblance to each other. The next step was to understand why. Nakajima conducted another experiment, the results of which were published in the journal Anthrozoos.

He found that the reason lay in the eyes.

500 people were shown two sets of photographs.

One set showed pictures of real dog-owner pairs, while the other set had random pairings of people and dogs. The participants were shown 5 sets of pictures where different organs were masked : no-mask (in which the human’s and the dog’s faces were unobstructed), eye-mask (the human’s eyes were blacked out), mouthmask (the human’s mouth was blacked out), dog-eyemask (the dog’s eyes were blacked out), and eye-only (where just the eyes of the human and the dog could

be seen).

The participants were then asked to select the dog-owner pairs that physically resembled each other.

As in Nakajima’s 2009 experiment, 80 % participants who were shown the unobstructed photos correctly identified the dog-owner pairs . When the owners’ mouths were concealed, participants were correct 73 % of the time. But when the eyes of either humans or the dogs were blacked out, there was no accuracy at all – simply random guesses. When participants were shown only the eyes of the dog and the human, their accuracy rose to 74 percent.

The conclusion reached was that people choose to get dogs that look similar to themselves – but mainly in the eye region.

The psyc holog ic a l mechanism, that explains why a person might choose a dog who looks similar to themselves, is”familiarity”, known in technical terms as the “ mere exposure effect”.

That is why we like the same authors, the same “oldie” songs. That is why we vote for actors, and the wives/ children of well known people, without caring about their competence. It is also the reason why fake news has so much strength - repeated every few weeks , it takes on a life in our imagination simply because we are familiar with it.

We are familiar with our own faces. So, anything that looks like us arouses a warm response. In a test done by Dr Stanley Coren, 104 women were asked to look at the heads of four dog

Nagaland Post, Dimapur TUESDAY, JUNE 25, 2019

Power to change it breeds: an English Springer Spaniel, a Beagle, a Siberian Husky and a Basenji. The women rated them on looks, friendliness, loyalty and intelligence. The women were divided into those with longer hair styles that covered the ears and those with shorter or pulled back hair that exposed the ears.

The results ? Women with longer ear covered hair preferred beagles and spaniels with longer ears that framed the face. Women with shorter hair and visible ears chose the Siberian Husky and the Basenji with pricked ears.

Now a new study done by social psychologists at Michigan State University says that dog and owner personalities also tend to be similar.

The study had 1681 owners of dogs evaluate their own personalities and the personalities of their dogs. Researchers found that most of them shared personality traits. An agreeable person was twice as likely to have a dog that is happy and less aggressive than one who was moodier.

Loving responsible owners rated their dogs as amenable to training. Neurotic owners rated their dogs as fearful.

Obviously the study

could not rely on just the observation of the owner, as it might be biased. But acquaintances rated the dog in the same way as the owner did.

This is the standard personality guidelines for personality comparison: Neuroticism or emotional stability – is a person oversensitive and nervous, or secure and confident.

Extraversion – is the person outgoing, sociable and energetic, or solitary and reserved.

Agreeableness –is a person friendly and compassionate, or cold and unkind.

Conscientiousness – is the person hard-working, efficient and organized, or easy-going, lazy or careless.

Openness – Intelligence levels – is the person inventive and curious, or consistent and cautious When the owners rate the personality of their dogs, using a test developed by the University of Texas to measure a dog’s personality, the owners rated their dogs as similar to themselves in all five of the personality traits. Family members rated the dog as well and the results showed, that in four out of the five person-

ality characteristics, these family members saw the same traits in the dog as in the dog’s owner. However, both these studies apply to one dog households. If there are more than one, the similarities become less consistent.

A study by the University of Vienna, published in the journal PLOS, recruited 132 dogs and their owners, monitoring the stress of each member of the pair using both behavioural tests (how they reacted to perceived threats in the lab) and physical markers (heart rate and saliva samples to detect the stress hormone cortisol).

The scientists found that the more anxious the owner, the more neurotic the dog. If the owner was relaxed, so was the dog.

Why do these similarities exist. Maybe because the owners tend to pick dogs who are similar to themselves. But even more, through our daily interactions with them we shape their personality. Of course this is a complicated issue.

Do friendly people choose friendly dogs. Or do friendly people take their dogs out more so that the dog becomes better socialized? Dr Stanley Coren, professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia, researched 6000 people’s personalities in 1996 to bring out a chart that predicted the breed of dog that they were likely to choose. The data from that study, which resulted in the book Why We Love the Dogs We Do, was not a comparison of the personality traits of the dog and its owner, but on

how the personality of the human affected his attitude toward certain types of dogs. For instance, the study found that individuals who owned aggressive breed dogs had life histories associated with aggression.

When Lambu came to me he had been thrown out of three homes for bad behaviour. Alpha male, he needed attention and would not tolerate any other dogs.

For the first few months he drove away all the other 24 that live with me, and took the entire front of the house for himself. As time went on, he has become far less aggressive, gets on with the dogs and is a mature well balanced personality whom one can talk to. All my dogs are throwaways, or crippled in some fashion. When they settle down, none of them are competitive, all of them are curious and they tolerate people while wandering through the world with their own personal agendas. We share many traits. They came in having suffered through contact with the world. In my no-demand house they relax, as do the insects, birds, monkeys and the occasional snake Dog personalities aren’t set in stone. They change as they grow and are influenced by their lifestyles and experiences. The dog you take home from the shelter isn’t the same dog you’ll have a year from now. You have the power to change it.

Horrible condition of Dimapur-Kohima four lane road

Water crisis: DMK warns of ‘jail bharo’ stir across TN

CHENNAI, JUN 24 (PTI): Upping the ante against the AIADMK government in Tamil Nadu for “inefficient handling” of the water scarcity in the state, DMK president M K Stalin Monday led a massive protest here and lambasted Chief Minister K Palaniswami for attempting to downplay the crisis.

‘Yagams’ (elaborate ritualistic worships) that AIADMK leaders are conducting are to save their positions in the government and not to please the rain gods, said Stalin, while also warning of a massive ‘jail bharo’ stir if the government failed to solve the state-wide water crisis.

AIADMK leader D Jayakumar, however, asserted that the protest would get no support from the people.

Joining the DMK workers at the protest, Stalin dramatically raised an empty pot and asked, “Kudam Inge Kudineer Enge?” (Pot is here, where is the drinking water)?”

“The government has scarcity of funds, schemes, jobs, industries, justice, law and order, now include wa-

“This is the situation in Tamil Nadu. The state government, which is on the Centre’s clutches, has not taken any initiative to avert such a situation,” he alleged. Terming the crisis as avoidable, Stalin said, “I am not ready to argue that ‘yagams’ are wrong. This is not something which occurred all of a sudden. I

NH wondered whether Along really meant it and whether he knew the Naga political history and struggle or was his speech

just to please his political bosses in Delhi.

NH noted that Along of late, had been making remarks having far-reaching consequences for the future Naga generations and warned that he alone would be solely held responsible in such turn of events.

Fur ther, NH also asked if Nagas got opportunity to be in state assemblies in UP or Bihar or any other State and asked Along not to finish the Naga political history and the young generation in lieu of his chair and power.

have been raising the issue of plummeting water levels in lakes in the assembly for the last one year. But no efforts were made.”

He referred to the party moving a resolution earlier seeking the removal of assembly Speaker P Dhanapal and said the rituals were aimed at saving positions held by AIADMK leaders in the government.

“Because, on June 28, the assembly would meet and there is no need to wait for elections for a change of government. There is a possibility even before that,” Stalin said.

Cong dissolves UP, K’taka committees as Rahul’s resolve to quit brings major churn

Beaten, forced to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’, J’khand man dies; 3 arrested

New Delhi, JUN 24 (AGENCIES): The Congress party on Monday dissolved its Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka committees in the wake of the recent electoral debacle. The party’s working committee is likely to meet next week to decide on the post of the party president as Rahul Gandhi is “adamant on resignation”.

The party has also decided to set up a three-member panel to look into complaints of gross indiscipline during the election.

According to party sources, the committee will meet next week and request Rahul Gandhi to continue holding the position of president. The working

committees being helmed

by Priyanka Gandhi and Jyotiraditya Scindia in Uttar Pradesh have effectively been dissolved. According to a statement issued by Congress general secretary organisation KC Venugopal, a two-member team will now oversee election preparations for the Assembly polls in the state. Bypolls are due for 11 Assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh after the respective MLAs were elected to Parliament.

Ajay Kumar Lallu, leader of the Congress Legislative Party, has been appointed in-charge for making organisational changes in UP East for a defined period, the party said.

“We have recovered one abandoned vehicle at the vicinity of the place of incident and some other clues.

Investigation is continuing based on evidence and intelligence input,” SP Karbi Anglong Gaurav Upadhya said.

Police also recovered empty cases of AK ammunition and several cartridges of other calibre ammunition from the spot. The gang also reportedly took away the licensed pistol of the businessman. Police are probing on what appears to be a carefully planned robbery and possible involvement of some insider who may have provided crucial inputs to the gang. Two of the businessman’s employees were also seriously injured in the shooting.

SERAIKELA-KHARSAWA N ( J ’ K H AN D ) , JUN 24 (PTI): Three persons were arrested on Monday in connection with the death of a 24-year-old man, who was thrashed by a mob for alleged theft and seen in a purported video being forced to chant “Jai Shri Ram” and “Jai Hanuman”, police said.

A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been set up to look into the death of Tabrez Ansari, who was declared “brought dead” by doctors at the Tata Main Hospital in Jamshedpur on June 22, they added.

Seraikela-Kharsawan Superintendent of Police (SP) Karthik S said on June 17, Ansari and two others had entered a house in Seraikela village at night allegedly with an intention to commit theft.

However, the occupants of the house woke up and raised an alarm, following which villagers caught hold of Ansari and “manhandled” him, while his accomplices managed to flee, the SP told reporters.

Ansari was found to be in possession of valuables, which he and and his as-

‘PM very big salesman, Cong failed to market product’

NEW DELHI, JUN 24 (PTI): The BJP came back to power as Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a “very big salesman” while the Congress failed to market its product in the Lok Sabha polls, Congress leader in the Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said Monday.

Speaking in the Lok Sabha on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s Address, Chowdhury launched a scathing attack on the government and Prime Minister Modi, with the Chair ordering expunging of some of his comments, considered unparliamentary.

“Our Prime Minister is a very big salesman.We (Congress) have been unable to sell our product, that is why we lost(Lok Sabha

sociates had allegedly stolen from other villages, the officer said. Police reached the spot in the morning and took Ansari to jail on the basis of a complaint from villagers, after administering first aid to him.

However, when his condition deteriorated in jail on the same day, he was taken to the Sadar Hospital, where he was diagnosed with multiple injuries, the SP said.

Ansari was subsequently referred to the Tata Main Hospital in Jamshedpur.

Earlier, the police had said Ansari was tied to a pole and beaten up with sticks through the night.

Apologises for insulting PM Modi

The video in question, circulated widely on social media platforms, was handed over to the police by Ansari’s family members and it was being investigated, the SP said.

“We are looking into all angles. Ansari’s family members mentioned about some unidentified miscreants in their complaint.

Based on that, we have already arrested three persons, including a man named Papu Mandal,” he added.

Ansari’s wife, Shaista Praveen, has accused the police of taking the deceased to jail first, instead of a hospital.

“The police should have taken him to a hospital, instead of arresting him and sending him to jail,” Praveen, who recently got married to Ansari, has said in her complaint.

Meanwhile, the opposition Congress said it had formed a seven-member team to probe the incident.

“We demand Rs 25 lakh as compensation to the family of the victim and a job for his wife,” a Jharkhand Pradesh Congress Committee (JPCC) member said.

Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury apologised for making an insulting remark on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Lok Sabha. Chowdhury made the controversial statement while replying to the motion of thanks moved by BJP MP Pratap Singh Sarangi. Chowdhury later said that he has full respect for PM Modi and added that Modi is his prime minister too. The Congress MP from West Bengal tried to defend himself by saying that his Hindi is not good and his remarks was not aimed to insult the prime minister.

He also highlighted on how the DMC collaborated with the NGOs to come up with an alternative by giving training to certain groups on paper making. In a place like Dimapur, it has become insufficient to meet the ends,

The minister said that the primary reasons for spurt in stressed assets in banks have been due to aggressive lending practices, wilful default/loan frauds/ corruption in some cases and economic slowdown.

The RBI initiated the Asset quality review (AQR) in 2015 for clean up of bank balance sheet by gauging the right amount of bad loans and making appropriate provisions towards that, Sitharaman said.

New Delhi, Jun 24 (PTI): Recovery of bad loans at Rs 45,593 crore in PSBs was much faster than the total write-offs during 2018-19, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in Parliament Monday.

The write-offs stood at Rs 36,377 crore during the year, the minister said.

The year-on-year rise in recoveries and recapitatlisation in public sector banks (PSBs) during financial year 2018-19 was much faster than the rise in write-off figures on bank loans, Sitharaman said in a written reply in the Lok Sabha.

“Recoveries and recapitalisation rose by Rs 61,593 crore (comprising of a rise of Rs 45,593 crore in recoveries, as per RBI data, and Rs 16,000 crore in recapitalisation), whereas write-off figures grew by Rs 36,377 crore (as per RBI data),” she said.

Turkey’s opposition strikes blow to Pompeo on mid-east trip over Iran sanctions Erdogan with Istanbul mayoral win

may be aimed at reassuring Washington’s Sunni Gulf Arab allies that the White House remains committed to maintaining pressure on Shiite Iran following Trump’s last-minute about face, which likely raised questions about US willingness to use force against the Islamic Republic.

In what it says are defensive moves, the US has built up its military presence around the Persian Gulf in recent weeks.

Iran’s naval commander, Rear Admiral Hossein Khanzadi issued a warning to Washington that Tehran is capable of shooting down other American spy drones that violate Iranian airspace.

Khanzadi spoke Monday during a meeting with

Train accident kills 5, injures at least 67 in Bangladesh

a group of defense officials in Iran.

“We confidently say that the crushing response can always be repeated, and the enemy knows it,” Khanzadi was quoted as saying by the semi-official Tasnim news agency.

Tensions have been escalating since Trump last year withdrew the US from a global nuclear deal with Iran and re-imposed economic sanctions on Iran.

A fresh round of US sanctions is to be announced later on Monday in a bid to force the Iranian leadership into talks.

Iran has decried the US sanctions, which essentially bar Iran from selling its oil internationally, as “economic terrorism”.

Before boarding his

flight to Saudi Arabia, Pompeo described the sanctions as a way to deny Iran “the resources to foment terror, to build out their nuclear weapon system, to build out their missile programme.”

The hastily arranged Saudi visit by Pompeo, considered a hard-liner in the Trump administration, and the upcoming stop in the UAE come as both countries have expressed alarm over Iran’s military reach.

Saudi Arabia and the US have accused Iran of being behind attacks on oil tankers near the Persian Gulf over the past several weeks, while the UAE has been urging diplomacy to avert a wider conflict.

B eijing, J une 2 4 (IANS): The leaders of China, India and Russia will meet on the sidelines of the G20 summit later this week in Japan to discuss ways to counter US President Donald Trump’s “protectionist” trade policy and bullying practices.

Ahead of President Xi Jinping’s visit to Osaka to

attend the summit on June 28-29, Chinese Assistant Foreign Minister Zhang Jun on Monday said the leader will have a sit-down with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the meet.

I S TA N B U L , J U N 2 4 (AGENCIES): Turkey’s opposition has dealt President Tayyip Erdogan a stinging blow by winning control of Istanbul in a re-run mayoral election, breaking his aura of invincibility and delivering a message from voters unhappy over his ever tighter grip on power.

Ekrem Imamoglu of the secularist Republican People’s Party (CHP) secured 54.21% of votes, the head of the High Election Board announced on Monday - a far wider victory margin than his narrow win three months ago.

The previous result was annulled after protests from Erdogan’s Islamist-rooted AK Party, which said there had been widespread voting irregularities. The decision to re-run the vote was criticised by Western allies and caused uproar among domestic opponents who said Turkey’s democracy was under threat.

On Sunday and in the early hours Monday, tens of thousands of Imamoglu supporters celebrated in the streets of Istanbul after the mainland, including the former businessman freedom to protest and a triumphed over Erdogan’s much-cherished independent judiciary.

The bill has seen millions of people, fearing a continual, drip-drip erosion of those freedoms, clog the streets in protest and plunge the city into political crisis, with many questioning the ability of Lam to govern.

The protesters plan another demonstration on Wednesday to raise awareness among world leaders attending the Group of 20 nations summit in the Japanese city of Osaka this week. Chinese Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs Zhang Jun said on Monday that China would not allow the G20 nations to discuss Hong Kong at the summit.

“What I can tell you for sure is that G20 will not discuss the Hong Kong issue. We will not allow G20 to discuss the Hong Kong issue,” Zhang said.

The Civil Human Rights Front, organiser of the mass protests, is gearing up for an annual prodemocracy march on July 1, the 22nd anniversary of Hong Kong’s handover to Beijing.

“We came to embrace everyone,” he said. “We will build democracy in this city, we will build justice. In this beautiful city, I promise, we will build the future.”

Erdogan congratulated him for the victory and Imamoglu’s rival, Binali Yildirim of the ruling AK Party (AKP), wished him luck as mayor barely two hours after polls closed.

Erdogan has r uled Turkey since 2003, first as prime minister and then as president, becoming the country’s most dominant politician since its founder, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, nearly a century ago.

His AKP has strong support among pious and conservative Turks and its stewardship of Turkey’s economy through a decade and a half of constructionfuelled growth helped Er-

dogan win more than a dozen national and local elections.

But economic recession and a financial crisis have eroded that support and Erdogan’s ever-tighter control over government has alarmed some voters.

Turkey’s lira tumbled after the decision to annul the March vote and is down 8% this year, in part on election jitters.

But assets rallied on Monday as investors welcomed the removal of one source of political uncertainty. The lira firmed 1% against the dollar, shares rose nearly 2% and bond yields fell. Imamoglu won support even in traditionally pious Istanbul districts, once known as AK Party strongholds, ending the 25year-long Islamist rule in the country’s largest city.

“This re-run (election) was one to put an end to the dictatorship,” said Gulcan Demirkaya, a 48-yearold housewife in Istanbul’s AKP-leaning Kagithane district. “God willing, I would like to see him as the president in five years’ time.

The one-man rule should come to an end.”

attacked a Saudi airport near the Saudi-Yemen border, killing a Syrian resident and wounding 21 other civilians, the Saudi military said.

The Houthi rebels claimed they used bombladen drones in the attack on the Abha airport, the second in less than two weeks.

Drones were also used to attack a Saudi oil pipeline last month.

Saudi Arabia has been at war with the rebel Houthis in Yemen for more than four years. The Houthis say the attacks targeting the kingdom are a response to relentless Saudi airstrikes on Yemen that have killed thousands.

Before his departure to Saudi Arabia, Pompeo said talks will include discussion on “how we can build out a global coalition, a coalition not only throughout the Gulf states, but in Asia and in Europe... to push back against the world’s largest state sponsor of terror,” referring to Iran.

But even as Pompeo delivered his tough talk, he echoed Trump in saying the US is prepared to negotiate with Iran, without preconditions, in a bid to ease tensions.

“They know precisely how to find us,” Pompeo said.

Throughout the recent crisis, Trump has wavered between bellicose language and actions toward Iran and a more accommodating tone, including an offer for negotiations.

DUBAI, JUN 24 (AP): US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo held talks Monday with the Saudi king and crown prince after days of mounting tensions following the downing of a US drone last week and after President Donald Trump pulled back from the brink of retaliatory military strikes on Iran.

Iran’s naval commander, meanwhile, warned that Iranian forces would not hesitate to act again and shoot down more US surveillance drones that violate Iranian airspace.

The US denies the drone, valued at more than USD 100 million, violated Iranian airspace. Trump said he backed away from planned strikes after learning that 150 people would be killed but that military action remained an option.

On Monday, Pompeo held separate talks with King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the Saudi port city of Jiddah to discuss the escalation with Iran.

Pompeo wrote on Twitter that he had a “productive meeting” with King Salman and discussed “heightened tensions in the region and the need to promote maritime security” in the Strait of Hormuz near the Persian Gulf, through which roughly a fifth of the world’s traded oil passes.

From the kingdom, Pompeo will travel to neighbouring United Arab Emirates, another close US ally.

Airbus’ flying taxi complete its ‘most exciting’ test

A

radical electric passenger drone developed by Airbus has completed its first full transition flight, proving its ability to take off vertically and accelerate to over 100 miles per hour before slowing down for a soft landing.

Vahana, the project working to bring the craft to life under Airbus’s innovation arm, shared incredible footage of the accomplishment this week.

The test marked Vahana’s 66th flight, a number it has since surpassed by more than a dozen.

In a blog post announcing the milestone, Vahana’s Zach Lovering said the test ‘represents everything we set out to achieve when we began our flight test

campaign.’

The successful full transition flight was performed on May 3 in Oregon.

‘In the video, you’ll see Vahana take off vertically and then accelerate forward, much like in other videos we’ve shared,’ Lovering explains.

‘This time, however, Vahana’s wing and canard rotate to the full cruise configuration as the aircraft speeds up to 90 knots (over 100 mph). ‘ O n c e t h e ve h i c l e reaches cruising speed, the transition is complete and the vehicle begins to decelerate preparing for its descent and skids down!’

The craft took its first flight in February 2018 after just two years of develop-

ment. During that test, it climbed to a height of 16 feet (five metres) before successfully returning to the ground at 8:52am PT (11.52am ET / 4.52pm GMT).

Since then, it’s lifted off dozens of times.

Vahana’s single-seater air taxi is a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) craft, meaning it doesn’t need a runway to get into the air.

The company has been working toward a 2020 goal for a production-ready version of the craft.

Project Vahana began early in 2016 and is one of the first projects at A³, the advanced projects and partnerships outpost of Airbus Group in Silicon Valley.

It’s hoped that this form of transportation will make personal flight more accessible, the company has said previously.

Following the first successful test flight, Lovering said in a past blog post: ‘Our aim has long been to design and build a single passenger electric VTOL self-piloted aircraft that will answer the growing need for urban mobility.

‘Our first flights mark a huge milestone for Vahana as well as the global pursuit of urban air mobility.’

Danny Boyle confirms third ’28 Days Later’ movie is in the works

D

anny Boyle has confirmed that a third instalment in the 28 Days Later franchise is in the works, sixteen years after the influential horror film hit cinemas.

Released in 2003, the apocalyptic horror starred Cillian Murphy as Jim, a courier who awakes from a coma 28 days after a zombie invasion has destroyed modern society. The film is widely considered to be the turning point for the revival of the big screen zombie genre and spawned the 2007 sequel 28 Weeks Later – which starred Robert Carlyle.

Now, Boyle has confirmed that a third film in the series is in development, some 12 years after the sequel arrived. Speaking to The Independent, the Trainspotting director said that he’s teaming up once more with screenwriter Alex Garland – who penned the script for the original movie.

While details on a third project remain scarce, it’s believed that it could take a jump forward – tak-

ing place some 28 months after the events of the original.

Discussing the prospect of a new sequel, Garland told IGN in 2015: “We’ve just started talking about it seriously.

“We’ve got an idea.

Danny [Boyle] and [producer] Andrew [Macdonald] and I have been having quite serious conversations about it so it is a possibility.

It’s complicated. There’s a whole bunch of reasons why it’s complicated, which are boring so I won’t go into, but there’s a possibility.”

He added: “It’s more likely to be 28 Months than 28 Years. 28 Years gives you one more place to go.

28 Decades is probably taking the piss.”

Meanwhile, Boyle returns to cinemas this week with Yesterday – his first film since departing as director of Bond 25 last summer. Discussing Bond, Boyle said he believes that Robert Pattinson should take over from Daniel Craig in the role.

Emily Eavis denies Cooper and Gaga surprise appearance at Glastonbury 2019

G

lastonbur y boss Emily Eavis has denied rumours that Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper could be making a surprise appearance this weekend to perform the A Star Is Born soundtrack.

Cooper took to the Pyramid Stage as his character Jackson Maine in 2017 to shoot a performance scene for the film.

Following his Worthy Farm visit, he discussed the “surreal” experience and told NME that he attends the festival “every year”.

This weekend, r umours arose that Cooper and Gaga could pop up as musical guests at the festival. Speaking on yesterday’s (June 23) Sunday Brunch, DJ and presenter Edith Bowman hinted at the potential special show.

During a chat with presenters Simon Rimmer and Tim Lovejoy, Bowman was asked if she had any inside info on any secret Glasto gigs. “Well… I may know one, I can’t possibly say,” she replied.

“On my podcast [Soundtracking] I had Bradley Cooper, talking about A Star Is Born. And when I spoke to him I was like, ‘I just wanna see you

guys do a gig, play it live’.

And he was like, ‘Jackson’s dead!’

“He said, ‘Well we have been talking to Nick [Dewey, Glastonbury booker] and Emily [Eavis, coorganiser] about it – we’d do The Park Stage.’”

During the aforementioned podcast, Cooper said that he and Gaga would “maybe just do six songs” at The Park, which could point towards the vacant 40-minute slot on Saturday morning (June 29). What’s more, Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real – Cooper’s backing band in A Star Is Born – are playing the same stage on the previous day.

However, Eavis has since taken to Twitter to shoot down the reports.

“Before this one gets out of control the answer

is no, that isn’t happening,” she wrote on Twitter. “(Although you can watch the amazing A Star Is Born in our Pilton Palais cinema tent at 4.30pm on Friday.)”

Lady Gaga performed at Glastonbury back in 2009, taking on a slot on The Other Stage following the release of her debut album, ‘The Fame’.

Meanwhile, Foals are also rumoured to appear on The Park Stage next Saturday. The Oxford group will likely take the evening TBA slot, which begins at 6:15 pm.

Glastonbury Festival 2019 opens its gates on Wednesday (June 26), with Stormzy, The Killers, and The Cure set to headline.

England through to Women’s WC quarters Du Plessis blasts SA after WC exit

Valenciennes, Jun 24 (Agencies): England beat Cameroon 3-0 to advance to the women’s World Cup quarter-finals on Sunday in a match marked by remarkable scenes as the African side twice reacted furiously to video assistant referee (VAR) decisions that went against them, initially refusing to restart the game.

After England’s second goal by Ellen White at the end of the first half was initially ruled out for offside then, rightly, allowed via VAR, several Cameroon players remonstrated with the referee, furiously pointed to the screen in stadium which showed the replay and for a long time refused to restart the match.

VAR replays are not shown on big screens inside the stadium though “normal” replays were, some of which clearly seemed to indicate to the Cameroon players that they were being treated unjustly.

At halftime they refused to go off and join their coach, instead staying in the centre circle in a huddle.

They thought they had pulled a goal back early in the second half, only for VAR to again rule against them for a marginal offside - sparking more chaotic scenes. Players were shout-

England will need to quickly get over the less savoury aspect of the match and turn their attention to what will be a far stiffer test when they face Norway in Le Havre in the last-eight.

ing at the referee, pointing again to the big screens, substitutes were berating the fourth official and one player stood alone on the pitch jumping up and down in a furious rage.

Instead of taking firm action to force the players to restart, Chinese referee Qin Liang took an age, speaking gently to them before their coach persuaded them to kick off. The game then turned ugly with strong challenges, elbowing, an accusation of spitting and, in the final act, an horrific tackle on England’s Steph

Houghton that, belatedly and again via VAR, earned Alexandra Takounda a yellow card when it looked a clear red card offence.

England took the lead in the 14th minute when Houghton drilled the ball low from an indirect free kick inside the penalty area, after Cameroon goalkeeper Annette Ngo Ndom collected a backpass from defender Augustine Ejangue.

White then scored her fourth goal of the tournament as she collected a clever pass from Lucy Bronze to fire home - sparking the first

of the protests.

Ajara Nchout then pulled one back, only to be denied by VAR on what looked another, albeit very tight, correct decision, leaving her appearing distraught and fuming and her team mates in a huddle and refusing to restart.

A then-dominant England added a third through Alex Greenwood following a well worked corner in the 58th minute.

Alongside the VAR fallout, the game was marked by indiscipline and rash challenges throughout.

France captain Amandine Henry came to the rescue as the hosts scraped into the Women’s World Cup quarter-finals with a 2-1 win against Brazil after extra-time.

Henry found the back of the net in the 107th minute of a tense game at the Stade Oceane after Thaisa had cancelled out Valerie Gauvin’s second-half opener, with both opening goals going down to a VAR review. Les Bleues struggled to make their early domination count due to the lack of a killer instinct that prevented them wrapping up victory inside 90 minutes. The win sets up a clash with either holders USA or Spain on Friday.

France have reached the quarter-final stages of the Women’s World Cup in each of their last three appearances at the competition (2011, 2015 and 2019).

Lo n d o n, J u n 2 4 (Agencies): Faf du Plessis admitted South Africa’s limp World Cup exit was embarrassing as the furious captain branded his underperforming team “mediocre” and challenged them to take responsibility for their disastrous showing.

The Proteas cannot qualify for the semi-finals after slumping to a 49-run defeat against fellow strugglers Pakistan at Lord’s on Sunday.

With two games to play, South Africa have failed to make the knockout stages for only the second time. The tame manner of their elimination was tough for Du Plessis to swallow as he watched his side struggle to 259-9 in response to Pakistan’s 308-7.

“The results we are dishing out at the moment, it’s tough. The way we played today is borderline embarrassing,” Du Plessis said.

“It started with our bowling. There were a lot of bad balls on a wicket where if you just bowled line and length it was going to be hard for them. It was a five out of 10 performance with the ball, then the same batting. We started nicely, got a partnership going, then wickets fall.”

“We are a mediocre

South Africa’s Faf du Plessis reacts during their ICC World Cup match against Pakistan.

team at the moment because we are making the same mistakes. One step forward and two steps back is not a good team.”

Du Plessis said his players were suffering from a chronic lack of confidence.

The skipper top-scored for his team on Sunday with 63, but received little support as the Proteas played too cautiously, then threw their wickets away in a desperate bid to get back into the match.

“The guys are playing with low confidence and making the same mistakes.

It just rolls on, it’s such a snowball effect,” he said.

“The real, honest answer is it chips away at you.

You try really hard, then

come back the next game and make the same mistakes. It chips away at your confidence and your ego as a player.”

Frustrated that South Africa, defeated in five of their seven World Cup matches, have only beaten minnows Afghanistan in the tournament, Du Plessis demanded his players show more desire to sort out their problems.

“As much as I can say, or the coach can say, the responsibility lies with the player to sort it out yourself if you are low on confidence,” he said.

“Everyone has played the game long enough to understand you go through highs and lows.”

Lo n d o n, J u n 2 4 (Agencies): Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk is confident of a bright future for the club following their sixth Champions League success.

Van Dijk was instrumental to Liverpool’s European conquest last season, as he started every league game and appeared in all but one game on the way to the Champions League final. “I think the future looks pretty bright,” said Van Dijk.

“We have a fantastic team with players that want to develop, that want to give everything for the team and for the club. [There is] so much quality in the team; sometimes you don’t even realise how good [a group of] players we have - and also on the bench that want to play and be part of the team. So we have a fantastic future coming up.”

New Delhi, Jun 24 (PTI): Putting up a united front, seven I-League clubs Monday said they are ready to approach “appropriate courts for relief ” if the All India Football Federation makes the ISL the country’s top league.

Miffed at All India Football Federation general secretary Kushal Das’s public acknowledgement of Indian Super League as the country’s main league, representatives of Mohun Bagan, East Bengal, Churchill Brothers, Minerva Punjab FC, Aizawl FC, NEROCA and Gokulam Kerala FC held a meeting in New Delhi, where they decided to move courts.

Das’ acknowledgement is expected to be rubber-stamped in the All India Football Federation

’s executive committee meeting on July 3.

“With media reports indicating that the ISL being announced as the top division league post an Executive committee meeting scheduled for July 3rd, the I-League clubs are standing united stronger than ever,” the clubs said in a joint statement.

“The refusal of the President of All India Football Federation to meet the I-League clubs in spite of several requests and the subsequent vindic-

tive actions specifically towards the I-League clubs, combined with the coercive and blackmailing attitude of FSDL towards AIFF by refusing to make payments pushes the game to an uncertain future.”

Recently, six aggrieved I-League clubs hit out at the AIFF disciplinary committee’s decision to impose a hefty fine of Rs 27.5 lakh fine on them for boycotting the Super Cup citing unfair “step-motherly” treatment by the federation.

Bangladesh keep semi hopes alive

Southampton, Jun 24 (PTI): Shakib Al Hasan came up with a special allround performance, steering Bangladesh to a 62-run win over Afghanistan here on Monday and keeping their semifinal hopes alive in the World Cup. Mushfiqur Rahim (83 off 87 balls) and Shakib (51 off 69) showed their class on a difficult surface to help Bangladesh post a competitive 262 for seven after Afghanistan opted to field at the Hampshire Bowl.

Shakib, who also became the tournament’s leading run getter on way to his half-century, was also exceptional with the ball.

The left-arm spinner ended

with figures of five for 29 for in 10 overs.

Chasing 263 was always going to be tough for a fragile Afghanistan batting line-up but 48 for no loss in 10 overs raised hopes that the Gulbadin Naib-led side might just get its first win of the tournament after six losses in a row.

However, the batting fell apart after Shakib removed Rahmat Shah (24) and from 49 for no loss, Afghanistan were reeling at 132 for six. The seventh wicket stand for 56 runs between Samiullah Shinwari (49 not out) and Najibullah Zadran (23) saved them the blushes. Afghanistan were eventually all out for 200 in

47 overs. Bangladesh’s third win in seven games took them to seven points and if they win their remaining fixtures against India and Pakistan, the Mashrafe Mortazaled unit will end the league stage with 11 points.

Earlier, Rahim and Shakib shared a 61-run partnership laying the foundation for a decent score on a slow surface. The IndiaAfghanistan game here on Saturday also saw batsmen struggle to score freely.

Mosaddek Hossain (35 off 24) provided the much-needed fireworks in the death overs, taking the total past 250. The stand-out bowler for Afghanistan was spinner Mujeeb Ur-Rahman

Rafael Benitez to leave Newcastle Lo n d o n, J u n 2 4 (Agencies): Rafael Benitez will leave Newcastle United after three years as manager when his contract expires next week, the Premier League club confirmed on Monday. “It is with disappointment that we announce manager Rafael Benitez will leave Newcastle United upon the expiry of his contract on 30th June 2019,” Newcastle said in a statement.

was afforded by Newcastle owner Mike Ashley. “We have worked hard to extend Rafa’s contract over a significant period of time, however it has not been - and will not be - possible to reach an agreement with Rafa and his representatives,” continued Newcatle’s statement.

“We would like to thank Rafa and his coaching team for their efforts over the last three years.”

Benitez, who won the Champions League when in charge of Liverpool in 2005, has been reportedly offered a contract worth £12 million-a-year at Chinese club Dalian Yifang.

(3/39), troubling the batsmen with his variations.

Liton Das (16) was promoted to open the innings alongside Tamim Iqbal (36) with Soumya Sarkar pushed down the order. Das could not make the opportunity count and was caught at cover off Mujeeb.

Iqbal and star all-rounder Shakib then shared a 59run stand before Mohammad Nabi hit the former’s stumps, leaving Bangladesh at 82 for two in 17 overs.

Shakib, who surpassed David Warner to become the tournament’s leading run-getter, played a gritty knock that included just one four. The world’s premier all-rounder has so far scored two hundreds and three half-centuries in the competition.

Rahim played another valuable knock for his team.

Had he not fired, Bangladesh would have struggled to go beyond 225. His innings comprised four boundaries and a six.

Brief scores Bangladesh: 262/7 (Mushfiqur Rahim 83, Shakib Al Hasan 51; Mujeeb Ur Rahman 3/39) Afghanistan: 200 all out (Gulbadin Naib 47, Samiullah Shinwari 49 not out; Shakib Al Hasan 5/29)

Kening clinches Mallorca Open title Mallorca, Jun 24 (Agencies): Sofia Kenin captured her second WTA singles title of the season on Sunday, saving three championship points before overcoming Belinda Bencic, 6-7 (2), 7-6 (5), 6-4, in the Mallorca Open final.

“This was such a tough match. I’m so happy we got to share the court together. I hope we’ll have many more finals to come,” Kenin said to Bencic in her on-court speech.

Kenin was appearing in her third final this year, following a title run in Hobart and runner-up effort in Acapulco. She reached the round of 16 at a major for the first time at Roland Garros, where she stunned 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams in the third round. She later fell in three sets to eventual French Open winner Ashleigh Barty.

Having denied Bencic the Mallorca trophy three times in the second set, with the Swiss serving at 5-4, Kenin battled back to level the title match at one-set all. The 20-year-old stepped up on her serve in a clinical third-set display, winning 20 of 24 points. She broke Bencic in the ninth game to give herself a chance to serve out the match, which she did to wrap up the victory in two hours and 42 minutes.

Bencic was seeking her first grass-court crown since 2015, when she triumphed in Eastbourne.

Jason Roy ruled out of Australia clash at Lord’s Lo n d o n, J u n 2 4 (Agencies): England opener Jason Roy has been r uled out of Tuesday’s World Cup match against Australia at Lord’s after failing to recover from an hamstring injury in time.

Roy, who smashed 153 against Bangladesh earlier in the tournament, was injured in the win over West Indies 10 days ago and has missed games against Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.

A second scan on Monday morning showed Roy’s injury was much improved, boosting hopes he will be fit to play in the match against India at Edgbaston on Sunday.

“It’s all positive news, he won’t be fit tomorrow but we will monitor his progress this week. We will see how it goes,” England captain Eoin Morgan told a news conference on Monday.

“Of course he’s a big loss, it’s Jason Roy. He’s an outstanding performer who epitomises the way we play as a group.”

James Vince is likely to continue to deputise but has struggled to deliver solid starts at the top of the order with scores of 26 and 14 in England’s previous two matches.

Murray marks return with doubles title

Lo n d o n, J u n 2 4 (Agencies): Andy Murray capped a dream return to action after five months out by winning the Queen’s Club championships doubles title with Feliciano Lopez on Sunday.

The 32-year-old, a five times a singles champion at the grasscourt event, looked overjoyed as he and Spaniard Lopez claimed a 7-6(6) 5-7 10-5 over Briton Joe Salisbury and American Rajeev Ram. For Lopez it completed

an unlikely double after the 37-year-old wildcard had earlier taken the singles title for the second time, outlasting Frenchman Gilles Simon in nearly three hours.

The Spaniard belted a forehand winner to give the duo match points and when Salisbury mistimed a forehand wide off a Murray serve, the Briton jumped for joy. Three-time Grand Slam champion Murray had hip resurfacing surgery in February in a bid to salvage a career that appeared to be

over when he lost an emotional first round match at this year’s Australian Open.

The former world number one has reported being “pain free” as he takes his first steps back on Tour in doubles before hopefully resuming his singles career later this year.

He has been moving freely alongside Lopez this week and was clearly firedup on Sunday as he won his first doubles title since 2011 when he partnered brother Jamie in Tokyo.

Argentina book Copa America last 8 spot Porto Alegre, Jun 24 (IANS): Argentina downed Qatar 2-0 courtesy goals by Lautaro Martinez and Sergio “Kun” Aguero, thus moving to the quarterfinals for Group B in Copa America.

On Sunday, the Argentine squad played acceptably, without any real flashes of brilliance although they controlled the game all the way through and Qatar never really threatened, before 39,100 fans at Arena do Gremio in Porto Alegre, reports Efe news.

Argentina had been in last place in Group B, having lost to Colombia 2-0 and battled Paraguay to a 1-1 draw, and the so far rather disorganized squad was desperate for the win on Sunday to get them through to the elimination stage.

Prior to the match, Qatar had an identical 0-1-1 record, although they were one spot in front of Argentina on goal differential. They had fought back to a draw from a two-goal deficit in the second half against Paraguay but then had gone down to a 1-0 defeat against Colombia.

On Sunday, Lautaro took advantage of a Qatari gift in the 4th minute to open the scoring and Aguero made a great individual effort on a powerful shot in the 82nd minute for the second tally.

The first goal came when a Qatari defender

mistakenly tapped the ball to Inter Milan’s Martinez right at the edge of the penalty area and the striker beat goaltender Saad Al-Sheeb to put the squad up 1-0 almost before anyone knew what had happened.

Later during the first half, Aguero had a fabulous opportunity to put Argentina another goal ahead but he fired low and wide of the goal from about 12 meters.

After the break, Argentina seemed to get its act together and started manufacturing much better chances for themselves, but Al-Sheeb still managed to defend well against the driving Aguero, saving two shots on goal from the Man City striker.

Lionel Messi - who otherwise didn’t seem to factor in the match much at all - tried a close-range shot about 30 minutes into the second half but it sailed over the crossbar.

The second goal came as the ever-present Aguero was on the scene again eight minutes before regulation time expired, firing

a powerful low shot that finally got by Al-Sheeb for the 2-0.

With the result, and Paraguay’s 1-0 loss to firstplace Colombia in Group B, Argentina now sits in second place in the group and will go up against Venezuela in the quarterfinals in Rio de Janeiro on June 28.
