Nation awaits vote counting today

EC rejects Oppn’s demand for tallying of VVPATs

NEW DELHI, MAY 22 (AGENCIES): Counting of votes for the Lok Sabha elections 2019, in which over 8,000 candidates were in the fray for 542 seats, will begin at 8 a.m. on May 23 and results are expected only by late evening due to tallying of voter verified paper audit trail slips with EVM count for the first time. 67.11% of the 90.99 crore electors had cast their vote in the seven phase elections. This is the highest ever-voter turnout in Indian parliamentarian elections.

This is for the first time in a Lok Sabha election that results of voting machines will be matched with slips generated by paper trail machines.

The exercise will take place in five polling stations per assembly segment which effectively means that out of nearly 10.3 lakh polling stations, the EVM-VVPAT matching will take place in 20600 such stations. As per the procedure, first the

Terror funding case: NIA carries out search D I M A P U R , M AY 2 2 (NPN): National Investigation Agency (NIA) sleuths carried out search at the residence of Akaho Zhimomi @ Akaho Zhimo, ‘brig.’ of NSCN (K), here in connection with a NIA case (no.

RC-01/2017/NINGUW).

NIA in a press note said Rs 1,50,000 in cash was recovered from Zhimomi’s residence, along with items like SIM cards, hard disks, memory cards, mobile phones as well as other incriminating documents.

NIA had registered a case (no. 01/2017/NIAGUW, dated 26/05/2017) under section 17 of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act against Shelly N Sumi, wife of Niki Sumi of NSCN (K), and her associates on the basis of an FIR (no. 8(4)/2017, dated 07 /04/2017) registered at Senapati police station.

NIA said, Shelly N Sumi was arrested along with three of her associates on April 7, 2017 while she was proceeding to Moreh to allegedly transfer funds derived as proceeds to NSCN (K). The role of Akaho Zhimo also surfaced in illegal collection of funds for the proscribed organisation, it added. Investigation into the case is continuing.

slips will be counted and the EVM displays would be switched on later to match the results. In case of a mismatch, the results based in paper slip count will be considered as final.

EC rejects: Election Commission (EC) on Wednesday rejected demands of Opposition parties that VVPAT slips be matched with EVM data before counting begins tomorrow for the Lok Sabha elections. EC said there would be no change in procedure of matching Voterverified paper audit trail (VVPAT) slips. The decision was taken a day after the leaders of over 21 Opposition parties met the Election Commission on Tuesday and demanded verification of VVPAT slips of randomly-selected polling stations before the counting begins of the votes polled in the just-concluded Lok Sabha election on May 23.

The Opposition had also demanded that in case of any discrepancy during VVPAT verification, 100 per cent counting of the paper slips of VVPATs of all polling stations of that particular Assembly segment be compared with the

electronic voting machine (EVM) results.

EC is learnt to have stuck to its plan of counting the paper trail machines slips at the end of counts and not in the beginning as demanded by opposition parties. The Commission is also learnt to have decided to count postal ballots simultaneously with EVM count due to the “sheer size” of the ballots received this time from service voters.

Till now, the postal ballots were counted in the beginning followed by votes polled in voting machines.

The Commission on Wednesday is learnt to have decided to follow the established procedure of counting VVPAT slips for the mandatory five polling stations per assembly segment of each parliamentary constituency at the end of the entire counting process.

Though EC had made it clear to the parties on Tuesday that the old protocol would continue, its top officials met Wednesday and decided to continue with counting the slips at the end. The exact reasoning for sticking to the old protocol was not immediately clear.

Cong terms EC ‘Enfeebled Commission’: Con-

gress Wednesday dubbed Election Commission as “Enfeebled Commission” after the poll body was learnt to have rejected the opposition parties’ demand for preverification of VVPATs with EVMs while counting.

Party spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi asked on what basis the commission had arrived at the decision as the Supreme Court ruling on VVPAT counting did not come under Rule 56-D as cited by it. He also questioned whether EVMs were “electronic victory machines” for BJP and the Model Code of Conduct was “Modi’s Campaign Code”, alleging that EC had succumbed to the pressure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah.

“It is a black day for democracy and it is very sad and unfortunate for an institution like the Election Commission,” he told reporters. Addressing a press conference, Singhvi said though Congress or any other party had not received any reply or order from the EC on their complaints, the poll body has no logistical reason to reject the demand as it entails no extra time or burden on it.

Reconnaissance helicopters, quadcopters and tracker dogs are also being extensively used in the operations.

The army is working closely in synergy with the police, civil administration and intelligence agencies to identify the insurgents involved in the brutal killings. The Indian Army has assured of soon tracking

down and bringing to justice all perpetrators involved in the horrific act.

The Army, the Assam Rifles and the state police have launched the operation to nab the perpetrators involved in the crime, Tirap Deputy Commissioner P N Thungon said.

NDPP accuses NPF of ‘double standard’ DIMAPUR, MAY 22 (NPN): Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) has accused Naga People’s Front (NPF) of having double standards and indulging in doublespeak.

In a press note, NDPP media & communication committee said the real face of NPF has once again been exposed as its representatives participated in the meetings organised separately by the ruling coalition and the opposition.

NDPP said in the meeting of opposition parties in New Delhi on Tuesday, NPF was represented by its secretary general and Rajya Sabha member KG Kenye and his PRO Dr SR Nareshram. And in the meeting-cum-dinner organised by BJP national president Amit Shah for all NDA partners on the same day, NPF was represented by its Manipur unit chief, it added. NDPP said Prime

Minister Narendra Modi attended the meeting of NDA in which NDPP, a constituent of NEDA, was represented by chief minister Neiphiu Rio. But what came as a surprise was that in the list of NEDA partners who attended the meeting released by Himanta Biswa Sarma, convener of NEDA, NPF was mentioned to have been represented by its Manipur unit president, it added.

Coming at a time when NPF had publicly declared to withdraw support to BJP-led government in Manipur, NDPP said it is not only obnoxious but should be dubbed as the most shameful political gimmickry in recent times.

“Does the opposition party have not an iota of self-esteem that it has to demean itself so low? And with what audacity did it decide to face BJP, which it had not only hurled insult after insult over the last

more than one year, but with its recent decision?”

NDPP wondered.

Ridiculing the decision of NPF to pull out of the BJP-led alliance in Manipur after the counting of Lok Sabha polls, NDPP pointed out that the party’s double-speak has been exposed.

“How much more blatant can NPF become in openly declaring that it wants the cake and eat it too? Is this the kind politics that NPF is going to give the Naga people?” the ruling party asked.

Expressing its shock at the conduct of NPF, NDPP said words cannot describe the amount of lies and deceit the opposition party had been feeding the people, while urging the people to judge for themselves whether the politics of NPF is rife with doublespeak or not, “now that the documents are in the public domain for all too see”.

Condemnations on killing of Arunachal MLA, 10 others Rock blasting works on for 4-lane D I M A P U R , M AY 2 2 (NPN): Various organizations including Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) and Naga Peoples Movement for Human Rights (NPMHR), Naga Mothers’ Association (NMA), Council of Nagalim Churches (CNC) and JD(U) Nagaland have strongly condemned the killing of Arunachal MLA Tirong Aboh and 10 others in an ambush at Tirap district on May 20, 2019.

In a press note, FNR said that the “senseless violence and brutal killing of Tirong Aboh, his son and nine others was “outrageous and numbing.” FNR stated that such killings go against the very tenet of life. FNR expressed grief and sorrow and condoled the families of the victims.

It stated that use of violence was “short-sighted” and had no room in today’s context. FNR implored the

use of nonviolence and contemplative dialogue to address differences and disagreements. FNR also affirmed that it stood stands for a culture of peace and respect for human rights of all peoples.

NPMHR: Expressing deep shock over the incident, NPMHR stated that “this tragic incident happened in the midst of Burmese military operations against Nagas in Hoyat, Throilu and Nyanching under the Naga Self Administered Zones of Myanmar since May 16, “which is still continuing.”

Condemning the killing, NPMHR asserted that no matter how divided people were on issues confronting them, or whatever disagreements individuals or leaders have, killing was never the option as it was against the very basic human rights concerns.

Meanwhile, NPMHR

has also condemned the “atrocious military operations” against Nagas of Burma (Myanmar). It said the entire civil population was reeling under gunfire, bombardments and reign of terrors. NPMHR said many Naga leaders and villagers have been arrested and detained by both Burmese and Indian military.

NPMHR has urged both the Government of Myanmar and Government of India to release the Naga leaders and villagers and drew the attention of the Indian civil and democratic organizations and institutions besides international communities and the United Nations.

NMA: Naga Mothers’ Association expressed deep pain over the incident and said that Naga mothers share grief and deep loss of the families and the people of Arunachal Pradesh. In a

statement, NMA reiterated that violence and bloodshed can never be justified in any way. Appealing for justice, NMA demanded that appropriate authorities take cognizance for action against such dastardly attacks on a Naga leader and unarmed civilians. NMA also appealed to law enforcing agencies to bring out the truth in the public domain at the earliest. “At a time in our history, when there have been great efforts of Nagas across boundaries reaching out in peace and brotherhood, it is most unfortunate that such brutal attacks will trigger immense loss of faith in our age old relationships,” NMA stated.

CNC: Council of Nagalim Churches (CNC) has expressed shock and grief over the incident and maintained that such act was “diabolic in the eyes of God and humankind”, adding

the act deserves condemnation at the highest degree from all circles.

In a press release, CNC general secretary, Rev. Seksim Kasar, demanded that the perpetrators be brought to justice. CNC also conveyed condolences to the families of the bereaved and prayed for a speedy healings of the injured.

JD(U): Janata Dal (United) Nagaland condemning the killing demanded that the responsible state government and competent central agencies probe the unfortunate incident at an earliest and bring the culprit(s) to book.

JD-U through its media cell also demanded that befitting punishment for the perpetrator(s). Condoling the death of deceased MLA and innocent victims, the JD(U) Nagaland urged upon every sensible citizen to condemn such heinous crime.

Office Superintendent, DMC, Ganesh Sharma, in his address recorded appreciation to CAN Youth for coming up with innovative idea to make Dimapur a cleaner place to live in. He expressed the hope that with the small step of placing dustbins in autorickshaws, it will not only make Dimapur cleaner but also change the mindset of the people in general. He also said such innovative idea will be seen in many parts of the country

in the near future.

He also urged auto drivers to dump the garbage collected at DMC dumping site or dustbins and contribute towards a cleaner Dimapur.

President, DDADU, I.Vitoshe Sema, in his address acknowledged CAN Youth for reaching out to the union in initiating the project, which was beneficial not only for the drivers and the passengers but for a better and cleaner Dimapur.

He also mentioned that though the drivers have never been acknowledged for their noble deeds, they will continue to sacrifice for a better Dimapur with assistance and further urged upon CAN Youth to continue assisting the union.

they belong to make the city cleaner and healthier place Chief Functionary, CAN Youth, Jenpu Rongmei, described autorickshaw drivers like the face of Dimapur and they can be the best example to the commuters to keep the city clean.

Impact of 61 yrs of AFSPA deliberated in Imphal

Correspondent

IMPHAL, May 22: The impact of Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act 1958 was discussed in a public discourse hosted by Apunba Manipur Kanba Ima Lup(AMKIL) in Imphal on Wednesday to mark 61 years of imposition of draconian act in the state.

Resource persons who took part in the public discourse questioned whether the objective of the Act was achieved even after it was imposed for such a long 61 years.

They alleged AFSPA 1958 is one of the most draconian legislations that the Indian Parliament has passed during its sixty-four years of existence as an independent country.

In the discussion, it was observed that the objective of AFSPA is to provide law and order in the places where the normal order has been disturbed but quite on the contrary, the Act provides security personnel with absolute powers without accountability. This leads to various atrocities and human rights violation by the security agencies, they added.

AMKIL advisor Khangenbam Anandi, alleged that imposition of the draconian law means 61

years of suspension of right to life in Manipur.

Despite knowing that contrary to the objective of the enforcement of the Act, activities of the insurgency has increased in the state, Anandi said, adding that the state government had so far not taken up any positive step to repeal the Act. Manipur had witnessed a series of people’s uprising demanding removal of the Act. The central government however is was yet to hear the hue and cry of the people of the state, she added.

She said, in Assam where the Act is in force, the state government has at least taken up some steps forward to remove disturbed area status that paved the path for extension of the Act. She also questioned of what steps have been taken up by the incumbent government regarding review of the disturbed area status in the the state.

Not a single step has been taken to repeal the draconian law by the present government, she alleged.

The AMKIL advisor said that people of the state have been suffering for the last 60 years due to the atrocities meted out to them by the security forces under the shadow of AFSPA.

She alleged, not only many people were tortured by the security forces under the shadow of the draconian law, but many women have been raped and murdered in the name of countering insurgency.

The security forces had even raped women in front of their husbands and family members, she added.

Taking part in the discourse, chairman of Committee on Human Rights (COHR) Phulindro Konsam alleged that AFSPA has been using the act as an instrument to suppress and oppress the people of Manipur by government of India and its security forces.

Asserting that right to life was the most important right, Phulindro said that other rights have little meaning if right to life was not respected or protected.

There would be no meaning of development if right to life of the people was curtailed, he added, alleging that AFSPA is an Act that curtails the right to life for the people of the state.

Director of Peace Building Action, Ningthemcha Bobichand alleged that AFPSA has been a problem in creating an environment to maintain peace in the region.

Peace and tranquillity was needed for upliftment of every society and its survival and to get the people the taste of freedom, he asserted. He suggested that while pressing the state government, people of the state should demand repeal of the draconian law by the Centre.

All the participants of the public discourse wore black batch to mark a protest against the imposition of draconian law in the state.

On the occasion, a report compiled by Civil Society Coalition for Human Right on human right condition in the state recently submitted to United Nation Human Rights Committee was released.

After releasing the report, director of Human Rights Alert, Babloo Loitoingbam said that the report presented a gist of the major human rights challenges faced by the people of Manipur and Northeast states of India.

He added that the report primarily focuses on the suspension of right to life, the lack of effective remedy, the non-recognition of ethnic minorities, the plundering of natural resources of the land and political right to self-determination.

New Delhi, May 22 (IANS): Hours after the Election Commission on Wednesday rejected demand of 23 opposition parties to count the VVPAT slips, the Congress hit back saying the poll panel had become enfeebled and dubbed the electronic voting machines (EVMs) as “election victory machines”.

Addressing the media at the party headquarters here, Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi said, “The Election Commission (EC) has rejected our request to check the VVPAT slips, which we came to know through the media reports. The interesting thing is we have not received any formal orders yet.”

Singhvi said earlier the poll panel had declined 15-20 requests of the party without giving any reason.

Sabha MP said, “The Supreme Court has made it clear that votes recorded in the EVMs and the VVPATs (voter verified paper audit trail) slips of one polling stations in each Assembly are needed to be verified.”

Singhvi said the EC for “confidence building” should have accepted the request by 23 opposition parties that “represent 75 per cent of the population”.

“We are only demanding that the VVPAT slips of one random Assembly

should be counted to build confidence in the people.

During our talks with the Election Commission, they cited rule 56(B). But the rule 56(D) says for mandatory sample check of the VVPAT slips,” he said.

“Rule 56(B) and 56(D) are complete different things,” he said.

Taking a pot shot at the EC, the Congress leader said the model code of conduct had become ‘Modi prachar sanhita’. Dubbing the EVMs as electronic victory machines, he said the Election Commission had become an enfeebled commission.

“We are not demanding re-poll. We are only demanding sample counting of the VVPAT slips,” he said and added, “They (EC) are not sharing the dissent notes, delaying the requests and are applying biased approach. It’s a black day for democracy.”

Rengma Hoho reminds govt of its district demand

D I M A P U R , M AY 2 2 (NPN): Rengma Hoho (RH) has reminded the state government to consider the demand for Tseminyu district at the earliest.

In a press release, RH president Kenyuseng Tep and general secretary Thonchilo Kath stated that the Rengmas have given enough justification to the government on its demand for district and it was up to the government to do justice to the Rengmas.

Stating that it stood firm on the demand, RH said it sees no reason as to why a district should not be given to Rengmas.

The hoho maintained that Rengma have contributed for the Nagas and would continue to uphold its commitment towards the development and welfare of the Nagas and its interest. RH, however, asserted that it expected the government to reciprocate to their sacrifices. “We believe our rights will not be subject to

suppression by natty gritty norms and add casualty to our rightful demand”.

It said that Rengmas as a community were also equal to any other community of the Nagas and deserved recognition.

Asserting that Rengmas demand for equal opportunities and rights, the hoho said there was not an iota intension of antagonising and polarisation on their issue as their demand was of equality and justice.

RH expressed confidence that the present government under the leadership of Neiphiu Rio would grant their demand “without a second thought.” The hoho said it expected every leader across the party line to “sensitively support our demand.”

RH appealed to the government to expedite the district for Tseminyu and not to delay the issue as their rights have been deprived for long.

Myanmar military continues operation: EKU D I M A P U R , M AY 2 2 (NPN): Eastern Konyak Union (EKU) Myanmar Wednesday claimed that Tatmadaw (Myanmar military) continued to launch operation in Chen Hoyat forest and paddy fields after bombing and firing at public huts on May 21, 2019.

In a press release, EKU Myanmar general secretary, K Honwang, stated that Myanmar military troops arrived at Hoyat village and sent villagers for carrying their food items and other vegetables from the junction of Monyakshu and Chen Hoyat. However, when some 20 Hoyat villagers were returning, the Indian Army at the border accused them of crossing the border without taking the permission from Indian authority.

EKU said 20 villagers were detained from 1pm of May 21 to 4pm of May 22 with-

out any reason.

Due to the presence of Indian army and Tatmadaw, EKU said the villagers were unable to move freely. The union said that the villagers cannot even go to field for cultivation and move out of the village for their livelihoods.

EKU said while Myanmar military were present at the village of Chen Hoyat and Indian military were stationed along border.

In this regard, the union has urged both the militaries to allow public to move freely and let them live peacefully in their own place instead of disturbing and creating unwanted condition. Meanwhile, EKU has expressed gratitude to Naga People’s Movement for Human Rights, NSF, Naga Hoho and other organisations for extending support and voicing out for Eastern Nagas.

It further requested all Naga organisations to pray for the innocent villagers in border area who were in horrible situation. EKU has also appealed to the armed forces to restrain from firing, bombing and torturing innocent people and allow free movement of public without any prohibition.

NWHD expresses concern

Naga Women Hoho Dimapur (NWHD) has expressed serious concern over the ongoing military operation by the Myanmar army “targeting the civilians under the pretext of proxy war against the NSCN K”. In a press release, NWHD publicity & info secretary, Keninguno Kath, said that the victims were mostly innocent children and women. It said that the action perpetrates and intends to subjugate the minor community, adding that waging war without respecting the human values was a violation of human rights. NWHD has appealed to both the conflicting parties to enter into a negotiation through mutual trust and understanding.

Nagaland Post Vol. XXIX NO. 165 Dimapur, THURSDAY, MAY 23, 2019

ECI’s obstinate stand

R

esults of the Lok Sabha elections will be declared from May 23 onwards and that will prove whether the contentions of the opposition parties over EVMs were based on facts or were simply baseless allegations. Leaders of 22 Opposition parties have been making hue and cry about their misapprehensions that Electronic Voting Machines(EVMs) are being manipulated to favour the BJP in the recently held Lok Sabha polls. They had approached the Supreme court for Voter Verification Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) slips. The court had on May 7 dismissed a plea of 21 Opposition parties, led by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, to review its judgment rejecting 50% random physical verification of EVMs using VVPAT. The biggest issue over the concerns is not whether the EVMs have been tampered through some sophisticated gadgetry as alleged but why is the ECI continuously shying away from taking the challenge to disprove the allegations or even accept the demand to count at least 50% of the EVMs along with VVPAT?.If there are genuine concerns that appear to be supported by convincing technical argument, then the ECI must take up the challenge.

There’s no doubt that conducting elections in India is a mammoth, constantly evolving process. While there’s no denying that any system is flawed and can be exploited, the question is – are the loopholes big enough to impact election outcomes? So far, unlike in the past where ballot papers in sacks were either lost in transit or exchanged, it is difficult to do the same with EVMs. Also complaints against EVMs need to be looked without delay in order to preserve the sanctity of the elections and the reliability of the EVMs. The opposition parties again approached the ECI to conduct at least 50% of the EVM counting with VVPAT but that too was shot down. According to information provided by media, the EVMs are supposed to have a firmware for tamper proof. However as per RTI, this software was found not to be tamper proof as it did not have OTP. When the demand was made to ECI to reveal the particular software used, the manufacturer, ECIL refused outright on the specious plea that it involved national security. The apprehensions felt by the opposition parties may be about fear of losing or actually, fear of losing to unfair means but that is not the issue for the nation. If the EVMs are 100% tamper proof as claimed by the ECI but when all opposition parties demand clear answers, then there is something wrong somewhere.

The ECI exists to conduct free and fair elections and it must be seen to be doing just that. The opposition parties have every right to demand clear answers and expect a greater transparency from the ECI. Their demands are not unconstitutional nor irrational. They insist that their demand for counting of 50% of EVMs through VVPAT is more than justified.

It would have helped assuage apprehensions if the ECI had been responsive and sought to clear misgivings but by rejecting the demands, it only fuelled more misapprehensions that something was amiss.

However, the issue is not about EVMs alone but the ECI under its present CEC Sunil Arora, which has consistently failed to live up to expectations and that is indeed the biggest tragedy.

DailyDevotion The Explanation For Our Difficulties …that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us… —John 17:21 If you are going through a time of isolation, seemingly all alone, read John 17 . It will explain exactly why you are where you are— because Jesus has prayed that you “may be one” with the Father as He is. Are you helping God to answer that prayer, or do you have some other goal for your life? Since you became a disciple, you cannot be as independent as you used to be.

God reveals in John 17 that His purpose is not just to answer our prayers, but that through prayer we might come to discern His mind. Yet there is one prayer which God must answer, and that is the prayer of Jesus— “…that they may be one just as We are one…” (John 17:22). Are we as close to Jesus Christ as that?

God is not concerned about our plans; He doesn’t ask, “Do you want to go through this loss of a loved one, this difficulty, or this defeat?” No, He allows these things for His own purpose. The things we are going through are either making us sweeter, better, and nobler men and women, or they are making us more critical and fault-finding, and more insistent on our own way. The things that happen either make us evil, or they make us more saintly, depending entirely on our relationship with God and its level of intimacy. If we will pray, regarding our own lives, “Your will be done” (Matthew 26:42), then we will be encouraged and comforted by John 17, knowing that our Father is working according to His own wisdom, accomplishing what is best. When we understand God’s purpose, we will not become small-minded and cynical. Jesus prayed nothing less for us than absolute oneness with Himself, just as He was one with the Father. Some of us are far from this oneness; yet God will not leave us alone until we are one with Him— because Jesus prayed, “…that they all may be one….”

Post-mortem

be confronted Culture of free thinking and positive behavior Is evil ortoevaded?

‘F

ree Thinking’ simply put is the act of processing thoughts in the mind, independent of conjecture, prejudice, doctrine and popular belief. It is an integral part of cognitive process and learning experience of human beings. This process sources new ideas, innovations, inventions, discoveries, solutions and sustainable alternatives to otherwise redundant traditions.

Individuals who exercise free thinking are driven by higher convictions and rise above petty issues and narrow minded concerns. Such minds make independent decisions, which are free from racial, tribal, sectarian and partisan allegiances. They form independent opinions instead of uncritically registering and accepting other’s opinions. Such people tend to have strong disbelief in supernatural and conventional and conformist beliefs. This is not to say that free thinking individuals reject conventional opinions and societal beliefs, but that they rationalize everything before accepting and practicing them. A sound and open mind is an agent of doubting, critical judgement and creativity.

A free thinking person produces tangible ideas and practices. Persons with such minds are catalysts of change in human society.

The popular dictum, ‘simple living, high thinking’ is an apt example of people with free thinking and positive behavior. Open mindedness, creativity and originality are the hallmarks of free thinking individuals and they in turn gives raise to positive behavior. In fact, free thinking and positive behavior are complimentarily interrelated.

For one thing, free thinking individuals behave in posi-

tive manner and reversely, a person with positive behavior tends to be broad minded.

Such individuals develop value system in lines with the best societal values. Such value system stems from the best of culture in relation with one’s independent thinking process. Individuals with positive behaviors move along the goal of becoming well-adjusted, fully functioning individuals.

In some advanced societies, Positive Behavioral Supports Management Systems are run to regulate individual’s behavior in society. One agreement of individual’s inappropriate behavior is the functional nature of a given behavior – it serves a purpose. Some people often reinforce their socially undesired behaviors because they receive others’ attention out of a given behavior. In this case it becomes a societal responsibility to give due recognition to individuals on even the slightest positive behavior of individual.

Thinking process of narrow minded individuals are seldom conditioned, if not, influenced by religious dogmatism, political ideologies and popular practices and beliefs, which oftentimes are utopian, redundant or impractical. Besides, shallow minds are best breeding grounds of pride, intolerance, dogmatism, imitation, extravagance and superficiality.

Another symptom of shallow mindedness is desire for materiality – a death-trap to free and progressive thinking.

It contains the mind in the narrow circuit of transient material conditions of life – status, fashionable clothes, trendy accessories, jazzy cars and luxurious house. The danger lurking beneath such pursuit is location of honour

and prestige in ephemeral aspects of life. Such is the characteristic of a baser mind which finds contentment in transient material things.

Besides, narrow minded societies are infested with blind imitation of outward foreign culture - extravagant weddings; extravagant Jubilee celebrations of churches and civil society organizations, etc - indication of lack of reason and judgement amongst masses.

Cultured societies are free from social prejudice, sectarian differences, class consciousness, dogmatic beliefs and mimicry. Tolerance and self-reliance are chief traits of a free thinking society. Other desirable social behavior of advanced society includes high level of social interdependence, unrestrained social mobility.

Positive societal behavior manifests in the form of inclusive, humane, universal and sustainable decisions and practices. Such societies believe in universal brotherhood, liberty, gender equality and social justice.

The onus of inculcating free thinking and positive behavior first lies in the hands of parents and teachers. Till the 1990s, there was a subject in many school curriculums, called ‘Moral Science’. Such a subject does not find relevance in this globalized materialistic world. Nearly two decades into the new millennium, global trends have changed in terms of school and university education and curriculum. Schools and colleges need to get back to ‘moral science’ and personality development. Parental guidance based on popular practices seldom come into direct opposition with aspirations and attitudes of their children. This is also one rea-

son why schools hold regular teacher Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTM).

Social and religious institutions should claim responsibility of inculcating desirable attitude, habit and behavior amongst the members of society. What remains still is internalization of these traits by the target learners, for it requires a transformation of heart and mind. At the initial stage, it will involve effort on individual as well as institutional levels. However, in the long run, these traits will become integral part of society - a normal way of life of a given group of people.

Civilizations are gauged not only by material progress but majorly by ideas, cultural refinement and values. The depth of ideas and level of refinement are reflected in human behavior, which are the chief indicators of a civilized society. Such traits are acquired and transmitted through a prolonged and continued process of social interaction and learning. The question is, how long will it take for our townspeople to imbibe free thinking and refined behavior? When will ‘free thinking’ and ‘positive behavior’ become characteristic identity traits of our society? If parents instill good behavior in their children; if teachers implant passion for knowledge and trigger creative streak amongst students; if politicians give truth and able youth a chance; if bureaucrats work out development on the ground; if public become aware of their individual and political rights; if the youth become free thinking and responsible citizens, we would be a sensible and creatively progressive society.

T

he Bible says: “To fear the Lord is to hate evil” (Prov.8:13). It further states: “Hate the evil and love the good and establish justice in the gate...” (Amos 5:15). Now the word “hate” is not a passive word but an active verb which denotes action and activity. Further, the word of God in this context is not a neutral statement but a definite commandment, commanding us to fight against evil for the establishment of justice within our community gates.

However, one very wrong conception about evil among Christians seems to be that –As long as we are not indulging in evil, we have done our duties to God. But such an attitude amounts to an evasion of our duties to God rather than obedience to God. And if we evade our duties against evil, what will the end result be? The answer is simple: Good and justice will disappear and evil will reign within the gates of our cities. This is how the word of God describes such a condition: “Whoever shuns evil becomes a prey to evil” (Is. 59:15). To shun evil is to see evil, but do nothing about it.

Because of our evasion and indifference to evil, we are today under the suffocating grip of evil and corruption. We are in short, allowing the Devil and evil to rule over us because we have given up our hatred and fight against evil. Our present condition is so similar to the condition in Israel in the context of which Isaiah was speaking in Isaiah 59. “Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood.. The way of peace, they do not know; there is no justice in their paths. So justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We look for light, but all is darkness...at midday we stumble as it were twilight...truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter... Truth is nowhere to be found and whosoever shuns evil becomes a prey” (Is. 59::7, 9, 10, 14, 15).

In the true Christian experience, when we are born again in the spirit, we are freed from slavery to sin and evil (Rom. 8:2). The born again experience is however not an experience where we are transformed into spiritual beings and then transferred into a spiritual realm in the heavens. Far from it, our spiritual beings continue to live under our material bodies in a material world. And here, if we are not careful and continue to oppose evil, we can end up in a material world where both our spirits as well as our bodies become captives to the material world and its evil ways. After all, when evil man takes over political powers, even Reverends and Saints go to prisons.

Open letter to R N Ravi In Re: “They have no option but either to keep fighting or surrender” Dear Sir, We, the undersigned for and on behalf of Naga National Council (NNC), under the leadership of NNC President, Gen. (Retd) Thinoselie M. Keyho wish to state that we are extremely grateful for your honest public declaration of India’s position on behalf of Govt. of India on “Naga politics” at Pune as Chief Guest at the General Lachit Barphukan Memoral Lecture, as published in the Nagaland Posts on 21st December, 2018 quoting from “Times of Assam”. The same is hereby quoted as under (quote) “the Naga Framework Agreement signed between the Government of India and NSCN (IM) was within the Constitution of India and the final settlement would be done considering all groups and neighbouring states, not just the Naga group alone…. . they have no option but either to keep fighting or surrender.. … the message was clear to those groups ……” (unquote). Mr.Ravi, your often repeated offer on behalf of Govt. of India for “sharing of sovereignty” with a provision for the “Naga Yehzabo” (constitution) and “Naga flag” under the Indian Constitution treating the Naga Nation as just an NGO is crystal clear, so we are to state that those offers and the threat to surrender along with the offer of lucrative rehabilitations are unacceptable insults absolutely irrelevant for the NNC, the only mandated Political Institution of the Naga Nation, hence we flatly reject it. We hereby apprise you of our irrefutable stance for your information.

1. We can understand your position as the Representative and Interlocutor for the Govt. of India. In your statement as quoted above, you have honestly and faithfully made India’s position clear without any ambiguity for the Naga people to understand, which we assumed was made for the welfare of the Naga people to avoid further miscommunication with the Govt. of India that Nagas may not be deceived repeatedly is highly appreciated.

2. Nagas are aware that from your long years of dedicated and intelligent study, which was part of your professional responsibility, you have a thorough grasp of the facts of Naga history which needs no further elaboration in this open letter.

3. If we put ourselves in the shoes of the Govt. of India we, the Nagas can see that India cannot be blatantly blamed in the first place for defending the disputed map of the new independent India which was made by the then British India without the consent of the Nagas. It may be noted that a small portion of Naga homeland was unilaterally made by taking undue advantage of our hospitality and simplicity as a District of Assam in British India which was passed on to India’s new rulers when Great Britain terminated her Empire in the Indian Sub-Continent.

4. And if India were to put herself in the shoes of the Naga pioneers - defenders of their history, India should see that India cannot blame the Nagas in any case for taking the position they took in 1929 and 1947 before India became an independent nation, which they defended resolutely unwaveringly up to this day by making huge sacrifices due to the declared India’s wrong stand mentioned above as “either keep fighting or surrender’. Delhi has maintained this wrong stand for over 70 years. Without recognising the historical facts and use of military power by the Govt. of India on the innocent Naga people as it is in the present case, we can clearly see that there can be no honourable, sustainable and acceptable solution to the Naga issue.

5. The Nagas were not and are not against India or being “anti-India” when they declared themselves to be a sovereign, independent people and a nation, because the position was justified by the facts of their history. The people of India should know this that the Naga people simply chose to be true to themselves and to dare to claim the right and privilege their history entitle them

to claim and their defence of the stated status at immense sacrifices till date clearly shows what their struggle means to them.

6. India has no justification for treating the Nagas as if their struggle is “secessionist”, “hostile” or “anti-national” because Nagas chose to reclaim their pre-British status before the British left India.

The Nagas were never a part of India or any other neighbouring nations or even the then British India before they made a “no more fight agreement” in their own terms and practices in their favour to restore peaceful co-existence with the British in 1880 after 50 years of battle to defend their honour, dignity and land. However, many years later, this agreement was unilaterally interpreted by the British by making a small portion of western Naga areas as a part of the eastern edge of the then British Empire in India and making the small portion of that Naga homeland as a District of Assam of British India without our consent.

As such, the Nagas by absolutely non- violence and democratic means re-affirmed their stance in writing in form of a Memorandum and declared on behalf of all the Naga people to “ Leave us Alone to Determine for Ourselves” before the British Statutory Commission headed by John Simon in 1929. It undoubtedly means to say that the British were to “leave us alone for Sovereignty” as and when their departure from their South Asian colonies took place.

7. Therefore, under these premises, it is clear that Nagas demanding anything that is not theirs from India does not arise.

We are not asking India to give sovereignty or anything to us.

We only expect and humbly ask India to recognise the true facts of our unique history and leave us alone to determine our future by ourselves. In doing so India will not be losing anything that was part of the new India created by the British. We earnestly urge India not to unwisely use force to treat us as a people who “have no option but either to keep fighting or surrender”. You must mark our

words today that we definitely have an option not to fight militarily but shall never-never surrender as threatened. Do not treat us as a part of the new India in any way which is terribly wrong on your part because we are not Indian and our territory was and is not a part of the new Indian Union as aforesaid. We had to resist mighty India just in self-defence because we were compelled to protect our history, land, culture, dignity and identity not because we thought we could match India’s vastly superior force. Moreover, Nagas cannot throw away what is most important for their proper growth in all dimensions of life just because it is too difficult for India to discuss the matter today. We can understand India’s problem who fail to understand the facts of

our political history made before God. But that does not mean we are to treat our history as if it is not true or not important for our proper development in our own unique culture “the purest form of democracy” without any class system or caste system, as a people and a nation.

Reader’s Post Sir,

By only one life

The heaven and the earth are existing by ONE LIFE only and unknowing the LIFE is the greatest loss to mankind and knowing Him is the greatest asset and happiest life for mankind. To the men and women who really know God, the world is beautiful and His creations are beautiful. All human races are beautiful and worthy of compassion.

How beautiful the sun rise and sun set, moon rise and moon set, cycles of day and night and yearly seasons; Oceans and seas are roaring every day and night with waves of water keep on rising up and down and beating the shores are natural greetings to the ONE LIFE the Creator of the heavens and the earth.

Do men and women who are created after the image of God really know God? The different peoples and nations are proud of their different entities and sovereignty, their economic power, defense power, nuclear power even at the risk of economic crisis, technological achievements and racial power. But nothing is heard about praising of the only ONE LIFE by whom only the nations are existing.

The world is inevitable to face natural calamities and climatic changes. But all these are not beyond the control of God but all creations are existing according to the wisdom and power of God. If the inhabitants of the world really know that He is the Creator, their God and Lord, they will believe in Him, praise Him, love him, fear Him and honour Him and at any time of need they will look up unto Him and pray to Him as their beloved Father. If it is the will of God, He will hear the prayer of His children and their prayer can be answered and the predicted catastrophe can be averted.

Opposition raising EVM issue unnecessarily: NDA

New Delhi, May 22 (IANS): Opposition parties had raised doubts on the EVMS “unnecesarily” and the act was out of “desperation” of losing the election, NDA leaders said on Tuesday after their meeting ahead of counting of votes on May 23.

“We expressed concern over the opposition raising unnecessary doubts on the EVMs and the integrity of the Election Commission.

Especially, when the Supreme Court has given its judgements,” Union Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Rajnath Singh told reporters.

He said the Opposition was trying to create hurdles in the Indian election system, which can be “a global brand”.

Union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party chief Ram Vilas Paswan said the

Rajnath Singh (File)

opposition knew that they were losing the elections.

“They want an excuse.

Why did they not blame EVMs when they won three states. Why not when they won Punjab,” he said.

Paswan also said that the official results would be better than the exit polls, which showed the the NDA winning over 300 seats.

A total of 36 constituent parties of the National Democratic Alliance had participated in the meeting

while three could not.

Besides the BJP, the AIADMK, the Shiv Sena, the Janata Dal-United), the Lok Janshakti Party, the Shiromani Akali Dal, the Apna Dal (Sonelal), and the PMK were among the parties that attended the meeting.

Other parties present included the Sikkim Democratic Front, the Republican Party of India-A, the Bodoland People’s Front, the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party, the All India N.R. Congress, the National People’s Party, the Goa Forward Party, the All Jharkhand Students Union, the Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura, the DMDK, the Bharath Dharmajana Sena, the Kerala Congress-Thomas, the Asom Gana Parishad, the Nishad Party, the Naga People’s Front and the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha.

Why blame EVMs, asks BJP candidate Puri

Is SC also Chandrababu Naidu meets Gowda, involved in EVM Kumaraswamy for post-poll alliance rigging: Udit Raj

Chandigarh, May 22 (IANS): Union Minister and BJP candidate from Amritsar Hardeep Singh Puri on Wednesday expressed concerns over the Opposition questioning the credibility of Electronic Voting Machines (EVM), saying this was for the first time that a government has gone to the people on a positive agenda.

“Why blame the EVMs,” Puri said in a tweet. “I have all along said that it is for the first time that a government has gone to the people on a positive agenda. It asked for votes for what it has done for the people. This is a resounding pro incumbency vote,” he added.

Taking a jibe at the Opposition, mainly the Congress, he said: “However, EVMs were first used in an Indian General Election in 2004. We all know who won.”

Bengaluru, May 22 (IANS): Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) supremo N. Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday discussed forging a non-BJP alliance after the results of the Lok Sabha elections on Thursday with Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) supremo H.D. Deve Gowda and Karnataka Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy here, a party official said.

“Naidu met Gowda and Kumaraswamy at the latter’s residence in the city’s southern suburb and sought their party’s support for forming a non-BJP alliance and staking claim to power in the event of a fractured verdict and a hung Parliament,” JD-S official Ramesh Babu told IANS here.

The JD-S, which is in power in the southern state with the Congress, has agreed to being a part of such an alliance and

Hema is also spearheading a healthcare initiative for the overall well-being of women, with affordable and quality treatment.

“To be recognised with other achievers of Asia thrusts on me a greater responsibility and ownership to reform the women’s healthcare ecosystem in an innovative and impactful manner,” said Hema on the occasion.

even endorsed Congress President Rahul Gandhi for the Prime Minister’s post. “Naidu also apprised Gowda and Kumaraswamy of his discussions with Gandhi, TMC President Mamata Banerjee, BSP President Mayawati, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav and other allies for a post-poll alliance to prevent the BJP from returning to power in a hung Parliament,” said Babu. The JD-S has contested in only 7 of the 28

Lok Sabha seats across the state, allowing the Congress in the remaining 21 seats as part of a pre-poll seat sharing arrangement for fielding joint candidates against the Bharatiya Janata Party.

“Naidu has agreed to call on both the JD-S leaders on Thursday after all the Lok Sabha results are declared and requested them to be in New Delhi on Friday for a meeting of the non-BJP alliance leaders, Babu added.

LS, by-poll result updates on CEO’s social media sites D I M A P UR , M AY 2 2 (NPN): Chief Election Officer (CEO) Nagaland, Abhijit Sinha, has informed that all arrangements were in place for the counting day. CEO stated that regular updates of the counting trends would also be available on all social media handles of CEO Nagaland facebook (nagalandceo), instagram (ceonagaland. itcell), twitter (ceonagaland) and youtube (CEO election

Nagaland) besides website (ceonagaland.nic.in). All the districts were fully geared up and ready counting of votes, which would commence at 8 a.m. at 13 centres across the state.

CEO said that all the 21 observers, deployed by the commission, have reached their respective locations and reviewed the counting arrangements. Further, CEO informed that counting of the results will be displayed

live on Election Commission site-- https://results.eci.gov. in, adding it could also be seen in the Voter Helpline Mobile App available on Google Play Store.

CEO said media cells have been set up for media persons for updates on the counting trends. Further, he also said that result of live counting of the trends will also be shown through a projector at Old NST area in Kohima.

New Delhi, May 22 (IANS): Congress leader Udit Raj on Wednesday in a serious development raised questions over the way the Supreme Court has dealt with complaints of EVM rigging and with petitions seeking review of 100 per cent VVPAT slips along with electronic voting machines on vote counting day.

“Why does the Supreme Court not want all the VVPAT slots to be counted?

Is it also involved in rigging?

In the process of selection, when the government work has been slow for almost three months, then it takes two to three days to count,” Raj tweeted. The Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to hear a PIL which sought 100 per cent verification of Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) slips with the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) during the counting of votes on May 23 for the recently held Lok Sabha elections. The plea was filed

by Tech for All, a Chennaibased organisation. Before this on May 7, the top court dismissed a petition filed by 21 Opposition parties to review its April judgment.

Earlier on April 8, an apex court bench headed by the CJI, directed the Election Commission (EC) to increase random matching of VVPAT slips with EVMs from one to five machines at polling booths per Assembly segment in the general elections. The court observed that the increase in the number would provide greater satisfaction to the electorate as well as the political parties.

6 killed in Indonesia post election riot Iranian threats put on hold: Shanahan

J a k a rta , M ay 2 2 (IANS): At least six people were killed and 200 others injured during protests in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta against the re-election of President Joko Widodo for a second five-year term, authorities confirmed on Wednesday.

The police confirmed the death toll based on reports from hospitals. They said the cause of the deaths was being investigated, the BBC reported.

In the protests that began peacefully on Tuesday night after election results showed that the incumbent President had beaten his long-time rival Prabowo Subianto, soon turned violent after demonstrators who had gathered outside the headquarters of the Elections Supervisory Agency and the General Election Commission burned several vehicles after the police tried to disperse

Theresa May under fire over new Brexit plan

Theresa May (AP/PTI)

L o n d o n, M ay 2 2 (Agencies): Theresa May will make the case for her new Brexit plan in Parliament later, amid signs that Conservative opposition to her leadership is hardening. According to BBC, the prime minister will outline changes to the Withdrawal Agreement Bill - including a promise to give MPs a vote on holding another referendum.

But shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer said the offer was “too weak”.

Some senior Tories will today ask party bosses for a rule change to allow a no-confidence vote in her leadership. Environment Secretary Michael Gove defended the PM’s plan,

urging MPs to “take a little bit of time and step back” to “reflect” on the detail of the bill - due to be published later today.

Fellow cabinet minister and prominent Brexiteer Andrea Leadsom said she was “looking very carefully at the legislation” and “making sure that it delivers Brexit”.

MPs have rejected the withdrawal agreement negotiated with the EU three times, and attempts to find a formal compromise with Labour have failed.

On Tuesday, the prime minister asked MPs to take “one last chance” to deliver a negotiated exit - or risk Brexit not happening at all.

But several Tory MPs have criticised her plan.

Among them, Nigel Evans will today urge party bosses on the 1922 committee to change party rules to allow for an immediate vote of noconfidence in Mrs May. Because the PM survived such a vote in December, the current rules say she cannot face another for 12 months. The committee has said ‘no’ to such a change before.

who are believed to have been killed overnight on Tuesday.

Authorities have said the protests were planned and “not spontaneous”.

They have suggested that a group of provocateurs may have been responsible for the violence.

“A majority of the protesters came from outside of Jakarta,” said Muhammed Iqbal, a police spokesman.

The General Election Commission confirmed earlier on Tuesday that Joko had won the presidency, taking 55.5 per cent of votes that were cast during the April 14 polls.

Prabowo has rejected the results, alleging cheating, but the election commission has dismissed his claims, reports the BBC. The former general also lost against Joko at the last election in 2014, and went on to unsuccessfully challenge the results.

National police chief Tito Karnavian denied that his officers had used live ammunition and called for

calm.

“Some had gunshot wounds, some had blunt force wounds but we still need to clarify this,” he said, referring to the six dead,

Lanka Prez Sirisena extends emergency

EU police bust dangerous crime gang; 22 arrested

Colombo, May 22 (PTI): Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena Wednesday extended by a month the state of emergency imposed in the wake of the deadly Easter Sunday bombings that killed nearly 260 people. The president issued a special gazette notification extending the state of emergency by a month, citing “public security”.

The emergency law gives police and the military extensive powers to arrest, detain and interrogate suspects without court orders.

Sri Lanka initially imposed the emergency on April 23 to crack down on the nine suicide bombers who attacked three churches and as many luxury hotels April 21, killing more than 258 people and injuring 500 others. The ISIS terror group claimed the attacks, but the government blamed the local Islamist extremist group National Thawheed Jammath (NTJ) for the Ester Sunday bombings.

Following the deadly blasts, anti-Muslim riots broke out in the north of the capital as a backlash against the attacks.

M a d r i d, M ay 2 2 (IANS): The police have busted a highly professional and dangerous international crime gang, raiding 40 properties and arresting 22 suspected members including the ringleader in a massive operation spanning five countries, the EU’s police agency said on Wednesday.

The operation “Icebreaker” broke up the gang, which is thought to have amassed an estimated 680 million euros ($760 million) in ill-gotten gains through assassinations, money laundering as well as drug and cigarette trafficking between 2016-2019, Europol said.

“Searches took place, resulting in the seizure of 8 million euros in cash, diamonds, gold bars, jewellery, luxury vehicles as well as the discovery of hidden compartments used to smuggle drugs and psychotropic substances,” according to a statement cited

by Efe news.

The raids took place in the early hours of May 1516 during which the police supported by Europol and Eurojust arrested the al-

leged gang leader, a 48-yearold Lithuanian national, in Huelva, southwest Spain.

Police officials described the operation as the largest of its kind to date in Europe -- with over 450 police and customs officers deployed in Poland, Lithuania, the United Kingdom and Spain.

A substantial quantity of illicit cigarettes was also seized.

“This criminal group would traffic drugs and cigarettes into the UK, before smuggling the illegally obtained cash to Poland by different means,” the police statement said.

“The money was then laundered via currency exchange offices and subsequently invested in real estate in Spain and other countries.”

The suspected criminals also employed counter-intelligence technology to evade law enforcement organizations.

Washington, May 22 (IANS): The prospects of Iranian attacks on US forces in the Middle East have been put “on hold”, acting US Defence Secretary Patrick Shanahan has said after the Donald Trump administration deployed an aircraft carrier strike group and B-52 bombers in the region.

“I think our steps were very prudent and we’ve put on hold the potential for attacks on Americans by Iran or its allies,” Shanahan told reporters at the Pentagon on Tuesday. “And that’s what’s extremely important.”

“I just hope Iran is listening. We’re in the region to address many things but it is not to go to a war with Iran.”

The administration sought to assure lawmakers in classified briefings that a war wasn’t imminent.

The briefings were the first for all members of

Congress since the Trump administration more than two weeks ago declared a threat of an imminent Iranian attack and deployed several warships and bombers in the region.

But Shanahan, who a d d r e s s e d l aw m a k e r s

alongside Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford, cautioned that threats by Tehran or Iranian-backed militias haven’t been eradicated, the New York Post reported.

The most unusual museums in the World

Museum of Toilets in New Delhi

T

he Friet Museum in Bruges, and the Museum of Toilets in New Delhi are among the most unusual and bizarre museums in the world.

The Creation Museum is located near Petersburg, Kentucky, and presents an account of the origins of the universe, all life within, and man’s early history according to a young earth creationist’s perspective to the book of Genesis.

According to their website, the Creation Museum “brings the pages of the Bible to live, casting its characters and animals in dynamic form and plac-

ing them in familiar settings“.

Since opening to the public on the 28th May 2007, it has been on the receiving end of much criticism by many members of the scientific, educational and Christian community.

Its exhibits reject biological evolution, and states that the world, and all living things upon it were created just 6,000 years ago over a 6 day period. Rejecting scientific evidence, many of their exhibits promote the young earth creationists claims of humans and dinosaurs

coexisting, and even show that dinosaurs were on Noah’s Ark! Belgium is wellknown across the word for its chocolate, however, did you know that many believe Potato Fries (Or French fries as they are also known as) originally started in Belgium?

It may come to no surprise that Belgium is home to the words only potato fry museum!

The Friet Museum was created by the Cédric and Eddy Van Belle families, who also started the Belgian Chocolate Museum, Choco-Story, and

Web series on Modi returns after elections

‘M

odi: Journey Of A Comm o n M a n’ , the web series on Prime Minister Narendra Modi is live again, a month after the Election Commission banned its streaming in favour of a level-playing field during the Lok Sabha elections.

Directed by Umesh Shukla of ‘OMG - Oh My God’ fame, the web series was launched just days ahead of the polls, and was playing on even though the EC had stopped the release of Bollywood biopic ‘PM Narendra Modi’ from releasing on April 11 when the seven-phase polls began.

Five episodes, which were launched earlier, were made available again on OTT platform Eros Now

on Tuesday. The remaining five are yet to be out.

“Our plan is to release episodes 6 and 7 on Thursday (May 23) in five different languages - Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Gujarati.

The remaining episodes of the 10-part original series will be streamed shortly,” Ridhima Lulla, Chief Content Officer, Eros Group, told IANS. “Our attempt through this series is to tell the story of Narendra Modi’s struggle, will power, vision and victory. His journey is truly inspiring,” Lulla added.

Shukla, the director of the web series, had earlier said the release of the show was not planned in a way to coincide with the elections.

“I was working on it for almost a year. It could have come out a month earlier as well, but it got delayed owing to some technical glitches... My web series is not about politics. It is more about a character and his journey,” Shukla had told IANS. The trajectory of the web series and the film ‘PM Narendra Modi’ is similar as they trace Modi’s journey from his humble beginnings to become the Prime Minister.

Wr i t t e n b y M i h i r Bhuta and Radhika Anand and based on Kishor Makwana’s ‘Modi: Common Man’s PM’, the show stars Faisal Khan, Ashish Sharma and Mahesh Thakur depicting different phases of Modi’s life.

M e a n w h i l e, B J P sponsored channel NaMo TV went off air on May 17 soon after the conclusion of campaigning across the country. It began on March 31, BJP sources said.

“The channel was brought as a medium of election campaign of BJP. As the campaign ended, there was no need of it. So it went off air on May 17 after the campaign concluded,” a BJP leader said on condition of anonymity.

the Domestic Lighting Museum.

This museum is housed in a building known as the “Saaihalle”, which dates back from the year 1399, and is the oldest surviving building in Bruges!

The Museum is very educational, teaching its visitors all the secrets of making good fries. The ground floor provides great information about the history of the potatoes, dating back 10,000 years ago in Peru.

On the first floor you can find out about the history of fries, and how they came to Belgium.

And of course, no visit to a food museum would be complete without sampling the goods.

The basement is full of different fries that you can try out. Don’t forget your tomato ketchup!

This unique museum is home to hundreds of toilet-related paraphernalia, dating from the year 2500 BC! Not only are there a number of old and unique toilets available, but the walls are covered in pictures and crazy facts about the history of toilets!

Documentary on Lok Sabha polls announced

A

documentary encapsulating the story of the Indian elections will soon make way to the Indian small screen.

National Geographic announced the project on Tuesday. The multi-crew production is shot at 37 locations across the length and breadth of the country. Several facets of the elections have been captured -- from several booth level officers, political leaders to ground level party workers, from first-time voters to 100-yearold voters, said a statement from the channel.

The documentary further spans high power corridors of the Election Commission’s offices in Delhi, remote locations on the India-China border, densely populated by-lanes of Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu and areas of Chhattisgarh.

The documentary promises to take audience behind the scenes of political party’s rooms, to the ringside view of political rallies, examine the role of social media and cover new technology in wooing the voters and unravel the trail that leads to Parliament.

Rooney’s fury as younger brother, 31, is filmed

W

ayne Rooney’s brother has been filmed beaming with his arm around Tommy Robinson on a night out.

Sources said the football star, 33, would be ‘furious’ after a video emerged of his younger brother Graham, 31, with the far-right activist in a Liverpool pub’s toilets.

The footage shows Graham, who started out at the same youth team as his brother but never turned professional, grinning with the former EDL leader.

A third unidentified man appears on the other side of Robinson and shouts: ‘Tommy Robinson’s our new sponsor.’

Robinson, whose real name is Stephen YaxleyLennon, replies: ‘Go on Rooney’, but Graham seems unable to speak and just smiles at the camera.

It came after Robinson held a rally speaking to thousands of supporters in a venue in the city which was attended by a heavy police presence.

Wayne Rooney has never explicitly stated his political views, but sources have told The Sun the striker is hugely embarrassed.

A friend told the newspaper: ‘Wayne has spent the last 17 years sharing dressing

rooms with players from every creed, colour and race.

‘He will be furious about what Graham has done. He has brought shame on the family name.’

The unknown man in the clip, which was filmed inside the Slaughter House pub in Liverpool following Robinson’s appearance at a rally in Merseyside, says to

him: ‘Tell em what you’re having now’.

Robinson replies: ‘No, I can’t That’s going to be in a newspaper,’ before the pair burst out laughing.

Graham, who still lives with his parents in the West Derby area of Liverpool, remains silent throughout the clip. Robinson has been on a tour of the country after he announced his candidacy in tomorrow’s European elections. He is running as an independent in the north west of England and has been slammed for his antiIslam rhetoric by local faith leaders.

Shiva, Panghal enter India Open semis

(L) Shiva Thapa being declared winner against Hellene Damien. (R) Amit Panghal being declared winner against Chakapong Chanpirom in Guwahati, Wednesday. (PTI)

Guwahati, May 22 (PTI): It was a spectacular homecoming for World championship bronze medallist Shiva Thapa, while Asian Games gold medallist Amit Panghal also lived upto his billing reaching the semifinals in 52kg category at the second India Open boxing tournament here Wednesday.

Five other Indians also progressed to the semifinals at the Karmabir Nabin Chandra Bordoloi Indoor Stadium.

Three years after he was crowned national champion at the same venue, a matured Thapa returned stronger as

he clinically executed his plans to outwork his taller Mauritius opponent Hellene Damien 5-0 and set up a semifinal clash against D Krystian Sczepanski of Poland in the 60kg category.

“I was facing a taller opponent like him for the first time in my category,” said Thapa, who will switch to 63kg after the tournament keeping in mind of the approved weight categories for Olympic qualification.

“He had a better reach so my strategy was to hit him from the close range and then quickly go out of his reach. It worked out perfectly.”

All the buzz of the day was about the 13th bout of the day as hordes of school children, Shiva’s family members including his father Padam Thapa waited anxiously for the local favourite to come inside the ring. “I can’t express in words the amazing feeling.

The crowd was all at their toes and it was about living up to their expectation,” said Thapa, who last month became the first Indian male boxer to claim four consecutive Asian medals with his bronze at the Asian Championship in Bangkok.

Ankit and Manish Kaushik also had 5-0 wins

over their respective opponents making it a threeIndian lineup in the 60kg category.

In the 52kg category, Indians ruled the roost with Panghal, national champion P L Prasad, former world youth champion Sachin Siwach and reigning Commonwealth Games champion Gaurav Solanki making it an all-Indian lineup.

Panghal, who claimed the 49kg gold after defeating reigning Olympic champion Hasanboy Dusmatov of Uzbekistan in the Asiad final in Jakarta last year, opted to play a waiting game against Thailand Chakapong Chan-

pirom in the first round.

Having moved up to Olympic category 52kg after winning gold at the Strandja meet in Bulgaria earlier this year, Panghal then stepped up his pace to win 5-0.

Panghal will take on reigning national champion Prasad in the semifinal, while the other half will see Siwach face-off against Bidhuri.

Fresh from a bronze at the GeeBee Boxing tournament Finland, Siwach did his homework well to exact revenge on world championship bronze medalist Rogen Ladon of Philippines.

The two-time former Olympian had defeated Siwach by a split-decision in the President’s Cup quarterfinals in Astana last year.

Siwach rectified his mistake and waited to capitalise on the Filipino’s mistakes to go for the kill as he won 4-1 via split decision.

“Last time I went for an allout attack that did not pay off. I watched videos of the bout and this time I could rectify my mistakes,” Siwach said as he also got the support of his father and uncle who had come all the way from Haryana to support him. He will next face Solanki, who had it easy against Louis Fleurot of Mauritius to seal a 5-0 win.

Indian eves beat South Korea 2-1, lead series 2-0 Jincheon (Korea), May 22 (IANS): The Indian Women’s Hockey team pipped South Korea 2-1 in the second match of their tour and took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series here on Wednesday.

The Indian eves overcame a 0-1 deficit to beat the hosts. In the first quarter, both teams traded penalty corners while the goalkeepers on both ends were up to the task to make good saves.

In the second quarter, the hosts beat the Indian defence to set up Lee Seungju to score a field goal in the 19th minute. The setback did not affect the Indian team’s rhythm as they made a strong comeback in the third quarter, thanks to skipper Rani, who scored a sensational goal in the 37th minute to equalise while Navjot Kaur scored the second goal in the 50th minute to take the team’s score to 2-1.

Speaking about the win, Chief Coach Sjoerd Marijne said: “Our performance was much better than the first match. Our skill control in today’s game was much better and the quality was good and consistent”.

11 Sudirman Cup: China overwhelms India 5-0

Nanning (China), May 22 (IANS): Host China swept India 5-0 for its second straight victory, making it to the last eight in the Sudirman Cup 2019 as group 1D leader, here on Wednesday.

Among the five matches, only the men’s doubles was stretched to three full games. On Sunday, China had won its opener against Malaysia 5-0.

China’s victory over India also ensured Malaysia’s advance as runner-up after it beat India 3-2 on Tuesday, reports Xinhua news agency. The opening mixed doubles became a lop-sided match as No. 2 Chinese pair Huang Dongping and Wang Yilyu breezed through 23rdranked Pranaav Jerry Chopra and Reddy N. Sikki 21-5, 21-11 in 28 minutes.

However, the following men’s singles was rather a tough battle for Chen Long, Rio Olympic champion, who lagged behind all the way until 16-15. The world’s No. 5 Chinese managed a

hard-fought win over the 15th-ranked Sameer Verma 21-17, 22-20 in 71 minutes, the longest of all five matches.

“He is a tough opponent and I didn’t get into the match quick enough,” Chen said, adding he was still suffering injuries to his right hand.

China sealed the victory in the men’s doubles when Han Chengkai and Zhou Haodong rallied from one game down to beat Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty 18-21, 2115, 21-17 in 62 minutes.

Later China took the women’s singles as thirdranked Chen Yufei, winner of All England Open 2019, scored a straight-game win over 9th ranked Saina Nehwal 21-12, 21-15 in 34 minutes. The women’s doubles also became an easy task when Asian Games champions and world No. 3 Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan defeated Ashwini Ponnapp and Reddy N. Sikki 21-12, 21-15.
