Correspondent

KOHIMA, MAY 24 (NPN): Parliamentary secretary for Lotteries and Music Task Force, Khriehu Liezietsu resigned from the membership of the 12th Nagaland Legislative Assembly on May 24, paving way for his father, chief minster Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu to contest the bye-election from the 10Northern Angami-I A/C. It may be mentioned that Dr. Liezietsu took over as the chief minister on February 22, 2017 after T.R. Zeliang stepped down as CM in the face of state wide agitation against the government decision to rush through the ULB polls.

Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsü did not contest the 2013 state elections in order to give his son Khriehu an opportunity to contest as NPF candidate. Dr. Liezietsü remained as chairman of the Democratic Alliance of Nagaland, with cabinet status.

Khriehu Liezietsu contested from the 10-Northern Angami-I A/ and after winning, was later inducted as parlia-

Prachanda steps down as Nepal PM KATHMANDU, MAY 24 (AGENCIES): Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’, the Maoist rebel-turnedpolitician, resigned as Nepal Prime Minister on Wednesday, paving the way for Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba to form the next government as per their agreement last year.

Prachanda, 62, who led a decade-long insurgency before entering politics, announced his resignation during a televised address, and will formally put in his papers to President Bidhya Devi Bhandari. “I announce my resignation from the post of the prime minister today, right now, with a pledge to continue being active for the upliftment of the country and the people as a politician, parliamentarian and a citizen,” Prachanda told his countrymen.

For the time being, Prachanda will lead a caretaker government till 70year-old Deuba gets parliament approval to form the new administration. On the other hand, Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist-Leninist leader K.P. Oli said that the Prime Minister cannot resign in the middle of local elections and should continue until the second phase of the polls on June 14 is completed.

When contacted, NLA Speaker Dr. Imtiwapang Aier confirmed to Nagaland Post that he had accepted the resignation of Khriehu, with effect from May 24 and declared the 10 Northern Angami I as vacant.

The Speaker said the six-month tenure of Dr. Liezietsu, who was sworn-in on February 22, would end

by August 21 after which he has to become a member of the house within the six month period. The by-election is slated to be held before August 21. Dr. Imtiwapang said the decision to hold by election will be intimated to State Election Commission

who would then intimate the Election Commission and after which the notification for the bye-poll would be issued.

Khriehu also confirmed to Nagaland Post that he had resigned as an MLA of 10Northern Angami-I A/C. Speculations were doing the rounds that there would be a candidate setup by some party to fight against Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu in the bye-polls.

On the other hand there were also indications that the outcome of the byepoll was more or less clear that Dr. Liezietsu would either be uncontested or have a cake walk in case his political rivals decide to foist a candidate.

5 more arrests Modi govt gets high approval rating at 3-year mark in Manchester bombing case BJP TO ORGANIZE COUNTRY-WIDE MODI FEST, JAN KI BAAT L O N D O N, M AY 2 4 (IANS): Five more men were arrested in Manchester today in connection with investigations into the suicide bombing at a concert in the city that killed 22 people as the government indicated that the Libyan-origin bomber may not have acted alone. The new arrests came as the injured toll doubled from 59 to 119.

“Three men have been arrested after police executed warrants in South Manchester in connection with the ongoing investigation into Monday night’s horrific attack at the Manchester Arena,” a Greater Manchester Police statement said. Another man was arrested in Wigan near Manchester, taking the total number of arrests to five.

A 23-year-old man arrested yesterday in the wake of the attack on Monday night, carried out by a bomber identified as 22-year-old Salman Abedi, has been confirmed as his brother Ismail Abedi. Greater Manchester Police today said that they are investigating a network in connection with the bombing.

NEW DELHI, MAY 24 (AGENCIES): Both India and Pakistan continue to maintain high operational military readiness along the volatile Line of Control (loC), with daily cross-border firing duels becoming the norm, even as the IAF on Wednesday rejected reports of Pakistani fighter jets flying “over” the Siachen GlacierSaltoro Ridge region.

“There has been no airspace violation by Pakistani aircraft in our territory, in Siachen or elsewhere,” said an IAF officer on Wednesday. Indian troops, incidentally, control almost all the dominating heights, ranging from 16,000 to 22,000-feet, in the Saltoro Ridge region, with Pakistani soldiers being far away from the actual Siachen Glacier.

A top Army officer, in turn, said though the “pre-emptive and punitive fire assaults” will continue to be conducted across the 778-km LoC to stem infiltration as part of the overall counterterrorism strategy, it was “not a

war-like situation” as of now. “Infiltration attempts, backed by the Pakistan Army-ISI combine, are increasing with the snow melting in the mountain passes. This calls for even more pro-active counterterror operations,” he added.

This came after Pakistani media reports on Wednesday claimed the country’s Mirage fighters had carried out high and low-altitude sorties in the Siachen as part of air combat exercises, while all forward operating airbases had also been activated for any eventuality.

On a visit to the Qadri forward airbase at Skardu on Wednesday, Pakistan Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman was quoted as saying: “The nation should not worry about the enemy’s statements... we are peace loving people but are ready to face all kinds of challenges. Our response to any aggression will be such that their future generations will also remember it.”

DIMAPUR, MAY 24 (NPN): Nagaland Medical Dealers Association (NMDA) on Wednesday informed that it would join the nationwide bandh call given by the All India Organization of Chemists and Druggists (AIOCD) for all wholesale/retail chemists on May 30, 2017 from morning 6am to 6pm. The bandh has been called to protest against introduction of E-Marketing/ online Pharmacy by the government of India.

In a press release, NMDA president, Ato Yepthomi, and general secretary, Basu Damani, stated that with the introduction of online pharmacies the restricted drugs would become easily accessible to anti social elements and drug addicts, who would approach different online outlets with same prescription. The association stated that even submission of duplicate prescription for procuring restricted drugs has come to its knowledge.

Further, NMDA stated that information of delivery of inferior quality of medicines has also come to its notice, saying this could result in death of patient also. More than 8.5 lakh chemists and 50 lakh families dependent on medicine trade would be directly affected by the giant online medicine traders established in cosmopolitan cities of the country, which affects especially remote state like Nagaland, stated NMDA. In this regard, NMDA has called upon chemists/pharmacies in different districts of Nagaland to keep their pharmacies closed in the larger interest of entire chemist fraternity.

At the venue of MODI Fest, the party will hold ‘Jan ki Baat’, where the people can speak out regarding their issues and grievances.

Those issues and grievances will directly be heard by the prime minister. Apart from this, ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas’ conference will also be organized throughout the country.

‘Governance, inclusive growth not Modi’s agenda’

IANS adds: A citizens’ collective on Wednesday said contrary to its claims, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance government no more has governance and inclusive growth on its agenda.

Presenting what it said was a report card on three years of the Narendra Modi government, ‘Wada Na Todo Abhiyan’ -- a platform claimed to have over 4,000 civil society organisations and individuals on board -expressed alarm over what it dubbed as the “onslaught of the right-wing polity and increasing incidents of lynching”. “Governance and inclusive development remain the NDA government’s unkept promises and there is

a sharp rise in inequity. A dichotomy exists between the government’s policies and implementation,” said a ‘Citizens’ Report’ on three years of the BJP rule.

The report is an anthology of reviews from nearly 60 experts from various fields, and gives an account of how the government’s policies and initiatives, including the November 8 demonetisation, impacted society, including the Dalits, women, minorities, and tribals ever since the BJP-led NDA came to power in May 2014.

Rights activist John Dayal said the “perpetual election campaign mode of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the aggressive hate rhetoric of the Bharatiya Janata Party-Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh combine”, have kept religious minorities under deep stress across the country.

“Modi has never focussed on these during his radio talks ‘Mann ki Baat’,” Dayal said while referring to rise of cow vigilantism that has led to several killings.

Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal told PTI over phone from Guwahati that he has not received any report till now and his government will conduct an inquiry once it

gets it.

Rai has identified the two persons killed as Lucas Nazary alias N Langfa and David Islary alias Dayud as he alleged that they were “already” in the custody of the security forces and the entire encounter operation is “very likely to be a case of premeditated custodial killing”. The forces, the IG said, have mentioned in the FIR that the two were killed in an exchange of fire.

He said as multiple security forces are involved in the incident, “it is necessary to entrust the investigation of this matter to an external independent agency for an unbiased, impartial and thorough investigation.”

“The security forces i nvo l ve d i n t h e j o i n t operation must truly reflect how systems and processes have weakened over a period of time, resulting in commission of such unlawful acts in a planned and coordinated manner.

New Delhi, May 24 (Agencies): A CRPF Inspector General (IG), posted in the Northeast, has alleged that an encounter carried by a joint squad of security forces in Assam in March was fake and it killed two persons in cold blood claiming they were NDFB rebels.

Rajnish Rai, a 1992batch IPS officer of Gujarat cadre, said he has conducted a “discreet” inquir y on his own chronicling how a team of the Assam Police, the army, the CRPF, its jungle warfare unit COBRA and the border guarding force Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) conducted the encounter on March 29-30 in Simlaguri area of Chirang district and killed what they called were two insurgents of the banned group NDFB (S).

Rai, in his 13-page report, alleged that information about the incident and FIR filed by the joint squad of forces present a “fictitious account” of the operation to “conceal pre-planned murders of two persons in custody

Biren launches new IT system at Manipur HC

BJP govt at Centre ‘failed miserably’ to solve farmers’ issues: Congress

I M P HAL , M a y 2 4 (Agencies): Chief minister Nongthombam Biren Singh on Tuesday launched the Case Information System (CIS) national core version 1.0 for the state high court, an advanced IT system to maintain transparency and accountability of the judiciary. Stating that it is necessary that access to justice should reach all the hill districts of the state, the CM assured that the government would not interfere in the judiciary system.

“Today is a remarkable day in the history of administration of justice in the state as anyone from anywhere can access every detail of cases before the courts through the new version of CIS national core version 1.0,” Biren said while addressing the gathering at the launch programme. Condemning the increasing number of cases of mob justice, the CM said “If we continue to allow mob justice to happen, the rule of law has no meaning in the state. A collective effort is needed so that we can curb this evil practice of mob justice.”

G u wa h at i , M ay 24 (PTI): Claiming that nearly 39,000 farmers have committed suicide across the country during the last three years, Congress today said the BJP-led government at the Centre had “failed miserably” to solve problems of the agriculture sector.

“As per government data that were received during questions in Parliament, more than 38,000 farmers have committed suicides since 2014 when Narendra Modi came to power,” All India Congress Committee General Secretary C P Joshi told a press conference here.

“The NDA government is celebrating its third anniversary but the Narendra Modi-led government has failed miserably on all fronts, particularly in agriculture,” he said.

Joshi claimed that 12,360 farmers and agricultural labourers had committed suicide in 2014, while the figure was 12,602 and over 14,000 in 2015 and 2016 respectively. “At a time when India’s debt-ridden farm-

ers were denied farm loan waiver by the BJP government, we have seen that Rs 1,54,000 crore loans of business friends have been written off. The Bharat Mata’s soul is crying for the farmers,” the Congress leader said.

He said BJP had come to power promising 50 per cent profit on minimum support prices in addition to the cost of crops but it told the Supreme Court on February 20, 2015 that the farmers cannot be given 50 per cent profit on cost of production.

Joshi also claimed that BJP has a nexus with food grain mafia as it reduced import duty on wheat from 25 per cent to nil.

“On the other hand, the government procurement of wheat went down to 229.62 lakh tonnes in 2016-17 from 288.8 lakh tonnes in 2015-16. Rice procurement too dropped to 304.35 lakh tonnes in 2016-17 from 342.18 lakh tonnes a year ago,” he said. Joshi claimed that the agriculture exports were falling every year

and has plunged to USD 1,957 million in 2016-17 from USD 3,295 million in 2013-14.

He also charged the Centre of giving benefits to private empanelled companies and not the targeted farmers under the PM Fasal Bima Yojana, which started from April 2016.

“The premium paid to the companies is many times more than the compensation paid to farmers. During kharif season of 2016, Rs 17,184.79 crore was paid as premium against Rs 6,808.48 crore compensation paid to the farmers,” he added.

Joshi said despite successive droughts over the last three years across India, the BJP government had “willfully failed” in providing calamity reliefs to the states.

“Also, the anti-agriculture mindset of the BJP government has led to cuts in actual spending on schemes essential to farmers’ welfare. The BJP should actually apologise to the farmers, who are feeding us,” he added.

Fight against corruption at the top of achievement list: Sonowal

Guwahati, May 24 (PTI): Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, who completed one year in office today, said he put fight against corruption at the top of the list of achievements of his government.

Development and industrial sector initiatives, increasing revenue receipts, border security, transformation of the education sector were among the other major achievements of the BJP-led government, he told reporters here.

The gover nment’s “zero tolerance” of corruption has unleashed an “uncompromising war” to root out social evils from the administrative machinery of Assam.

He said it had resulted in the arrest of the chairman and two other members of Assam Public Service Commission on corruption charges, besides three Assam Civil Service officers in connection with the ‘cash for job’ scam in the APSC and 21 govern-

Civilisation under threat

A

majority of terror attacks in Europe since 2014 have been carried out by Islamic terrorists in which till the dastardly attack in Manchester City on May 23,2017 has caused the deaths of around 325 innocent civilians and injuries to around 1444.The terror attack in Manchester City has shattered Britain which has been churning over issues of jobs, Brexit and influx of illegal immigrants from other EU nations that has been facilitated by the open international borders. The attack in Manchester City took place at Manchester Arena after the conclusion of a concert by US pop singer Ariana Grande. The attack is believed to be the deadliest since the 7/7 bombing in London in 2005. In recent years, international migration has made its way to the forefront of the security agendas of several states, particularly in Europe and North America. The perception of immigration as a threat to security has developed alongside the rapid increase in the number of immigrants worldwide: while there were approximately 191 million persons living outside their countries of origin in 2005, by 2010 this number had increased to an estimated 214 million (IOM 2010). Europe is facing a serious threat from immigrants be it from middle east or Asia and their numbers have almost changed the social demography in some countries.

Other immigrants who pose the most dangerous security threat are Islamic terrorists mingling with other immigrants. However, there are Muslims who have been born and brought up in Europe but have rejected the democracy and lifestyle of the country they have migrated to. The suicide bomber involved in the Manchester City blast –Salman Abedin- is such a case. Though born and brought up in Manchester City, Salman Abedin, whose parents are Libyans, got influenced by radical Islam. It is not known if Abedin joined ISIS but the terror group claimed responsibility for the murderous attack on May 23,2017. Most immigrants from Muslim countries, do not accept the lifestyles of their adopted countries and in the process, get indoctrinated by radical clerics. The Canadian experience is different because it is a traditional immigrant-receiving state. Canada, unlike other western nations, holds a different notion of national identity and thus may be more tolerant and accepting of different languages, cultures, and religions, supporting its policy of multiculturalism. Canada has embraced immigration as essential to its development, while Germany is forced to accept that Angela Merkel’s open door border has brought serious conflicts with the nation’s people. Most of Europe has seen rise in immigration population due to an unintended consequence of allowing guest worker immigration as well as a policy of allowing large inflow of asylum seekers and refugees. In countries like Sweden, immigrants have become a social menace and many crimes especially rapes have not been reported for fear of hyping ethnic tensions. The series of terror attacks in Europe since 2014 is due to spillover of the Syrian Civil War and linked to the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). It has also been linked to the rise of radical Islam among an unchecked and ever increasing number of Muslims in Europe, and to the European migrant crisis. The threat needs to be faced head-on but the question is whether liberal Europe does have the stomach to call a spade a spade?

DailyDevotion The Delight of Despair When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead.

—Revelation 1:17 It may be that, like the apostle John, you know Jesus Christ intimately. Yet when He suddenly appears to you with totally unfamiliar characteristics, the only thing you can do is fall “at His feet as dead.” There are times when God cannot reveal Himself in any other way than in His majesty, and it is the awesomeness of the vision which brings you to the delight of despair. You experience this joy in hopelessness, realizing that if you are ever to be raised up it must be by the hand of God. “He laid His right hand on me…” (Revelation 1:17).

In the midst of the awesomeness, a touch comes, and you know it is the right hand of Jesus Christ. You know it is not the hand of restraint, correction, nor chastisement, but the right hand of the Everlasting Father. Whenever His hand is laid upon you, it gives inexpressible peace and comfort, and the sense that “underneath are the everlasting arms” (Deuteronomy 33:27), full of support, provision, comfort, and strength. And once His touch comes, nothing at all can throw you into fear again. In the midst of all His ascended glory, the Lord Jesus comes to speak to an insignificant disciple, saying, “Do not be afraid” (Revelation 1:17). His tenderness is inexpressibly sweet.

Do I know Him like that?

Take a look at some of the things that cause despair.

There is despair which has no delight, no limits whatsoever, and no hope of anything brighter. But the delight of despair comes when “I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells…” (Romans 7:18). I delight in knowing that there is something in me which must fall prostrate before God when He reveals Himself to me, and also in knowing that if I am ever to be raised up it must be by the hand of God. God can do nothing for me until I recognize the limits of what is humanly possible, allowing Him to do the impossible.

rime is being politicized. This is a new trend in allegations made by the opposition, especially the Congress.

Some 39 raids carried out by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram and his son Karti Chidambaram are dubbed as political vendetta. It is very difficult to verify whether what the opposition says is correct or not. On the other hand, former chief minister of Bihar Lalu Prasad Yadav also says that he was being dragged into the cattle fodder scam because he is against the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP). Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has defended the charge on the plea that the new technology which digitalises everything will show the extent of the person or party’s criminality.

But the time taken to prove the guilt is so much that the taint stays in the minds of people whether or not it is subsequently proved.

Notice was also served on the foreign investors, seeking their response to allegations of multiple Foreign Exchange Management Act contraventions, according to the Directorate.

The ED is probing into foreign investments in the Chennai-based Vasan Health Care, both in the primary and secondary market.

party and family loyalists Motilal Vora, Oscar Fernandes, Suman Dubey and Sam Pitradoa. The original charge against them, as filed by BJP’s Subramanian Swamy, is that they used dubious means to acquire Associated Journalists Limited, which owned National Herald.

The crux of the charge is that National Herald may have been a defunct print media outlet but it had real estate assets worth over Rs 2,000 crore in prime areas of important cities across India and the Gandhis, with the allegiance of some other Congress leaders, allegedly gained control over all the properties illegally. The problem for the Congress is only increasing by the day. Take the timing of the Delhi High Court order. It could not have been worse for the Congress party.

The court, which upheld the trial court order, to allow the IT Department to investigate Sonia and Rahul in the National Herald is yet another setback to the Congress party’s first family. The family is faced with the ignominy of losing a case in higher court which concerns the Nehru-

Gandhi family. Now, as per court order, once the IT Department begins its investigation and starts scrutinizing the books, no one can be sure what it would lead to and what additional matters it could unearth, especially now when the Narendra Modi government is going strong.

Above all, the HC verdict has come at a time when Congress strategists are trying hard to put Sonia on the forefront, to stitch some kind of opposition unity for the coming presidential election, and since she was leading the consultation process with the regional opposition leaders, the Congress president is being positioned as the leader of a hypothetical UPA 3.

Parliament should intervene more often because here all parties can see the political crime committed by one amongst them.

And they should cooperate to spot out the guilty and punish the person and the party. Democracy will thereby thrive and assure the people that the system itself throws up the guilty and sees to that the individual or the party does not go scot-free.

Opinion on the Naga political issue and 2018 general election in Nagaland

A

fter coming across different write ups with their own share of suggestions, opinions and criticisms in the local dailies, as a concerned Naga citizen, I also want to share my personal opinion in the context of present scenario of Naga society.

With the ringing of 2018 General Election bell in Nagaland, the Naga people are anxiously waiting to welcome the ensuing election but nobody knows the people’s motive.

But to me, solution of Naga Political Issue is more important than that of the State General Election because we have experienced enough with State Elections and its functions, so long Naga Political Issue remains unsolved and the state affairs remains the same. I believe the Nagas will never give up self- determination at any cost.

Let there be State General Election in its scheduled time in the state of Nagaland but Nagas need to be more serious about the Solution because the BJP Party holding an absolute majority in the Lok Sabha, maybe a blessing in disguisefor the Naga Political Issue or it may be a curse for the Nagas in the future because they can pass the Bill for the Naga Political Issue easily provided a settlement arrives between the two entities, i.e. the Govt. of India and the NPG and they can also pass the Bill of Uniform Code of Conduct easily, as on when they will enjoy majority in the Rajya Sabha too. And therefore, we better avail the opportunity within these five years term of the present Union Govt. for final settlement of the Naga Political Issue and the need of the hour is a united Naga on the principle of “united we stand, divided we fall.”

Once Nagas are united, both the public and the NPGs, and move with one voice like that of the recent NGO movement against the Town Council and Municipal Election in the state

‘N

of Nagaland, I believe Almighty God will work with the great Indian leaders and the great Naga leaders, to arrive at an early settlement.

If we miss this opportunity, there is a chance that once the Uniform Code of Conduct Bill is passed, RSS Prajaraks may penetrate our land to start charity schemes in the pretext of freedom of religion enshrined in the Indian Constitution and Naga people will not be able to stop them legally. And since we Nagas are very fond of money, many Naga people will be carried away by the money power offered in the guise of charities. Then Naga Christians may not be able to worship our God as we do now. Also, when the Uniform Code of Conduct will be enforced, the special rights that we are enjoying now under Article 371(A) may also be amended or deleted. Then what about Nagaland for Christ? Is it not that the Nagas will provoke the anger and wrath of our God? Ultimately, Nagas will fall and perish.

Therefore my dear Naga people, let us surrender ourselves to our Almighty God and pray for forgiveness of our sins, both young and old, men and women. Let us also pray to God for a clean election in Nagaland and for the great Indian leaders and the great Naga leaders, to grant wisdom and understanding to them so that we will have an amicable settlement of the Naga political Issue and peace talks as early as possible so that Nagas will be on the save side from impending many dangers, for the Christians in particular, in the days to come.

This write-up is purely my personal opinion as a concerned Naga citizen and hope that it will not hurt the sentiments of any individual or organization. May God bless the Nagas as God blessed South Korea and Israel in the past.

On good governance

ood governance is true implementation of government programs with efficiency, transparency, accountability, participatory, responsiveness and political will. Good governance is intended promote the welfare and betterment of the common citizens and deprived sections of people who genuinely deserve opportunity to rise in life. India is a rich country inhabited by majority of the poor people. Good governance day was established in 2014 and is annually celebrated on the 25thDecember, the birth anniversary of Atal Behari Vajpayi, the former prime minister of India and the recipient of Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian award, to honor his valuable service to the people of India as a visionary and prominent leader.

And make people aware about the government commitment for providing transparent and accountable administration in the country. However, it’s not because Christians celebrate Christmas, the birthday of Jesus, on the same day. Atal Behari Vajpayi emphasized on the significance of installing good governance to initiate all round development of people as corruption was already at the zenith when he occupied the office as the PM of India. Tackling prevalent rampant corruption and extreme poverty have been the major challenges since then. Good governance is essential to deliver the best to the people and Narendra Modi, the PM of India, is doing his best to install good governance to truly promote common people. It is a new system to rescue the innocent populace from thoroughly

corrupt system controlled by filthy politicians and officials.

Good governance will change the corrupt mindset of people towards realization of the value of diligence, honesty and dignity of labor and eradicate poverty and transform India into a rich and prosperous nation where everyone will be self-sufficient. In brief, good governance is all about selflessly and openly serving people with clean attitude maintaining low profile to promote their welfare.

The 25th December, the birthday of Lord Jesus Christ who was born nearly 2000 years ago has been celebrated as Christmas by the Christians all over the world for centuries. In the Bible Good governance is indicated based on the principle of justice, righteousness and compassion, defending the rights of the poor and marginalized and protecting the people from conflict. The manifesto of Jesus Christ’s leadership was to bring good news to the poor; to proclaim release of the captives and recovery of eyesight to the blind and to let the oppressed go free. Jesus preached mankind to worship the only true God, to love each other, to tell the truth and not lie, to love enemy, to help the poor and the fatherless, to obey the commandments and law and to repent and receive forgiveness. He himself fulfilled what he taught and the law of God his father. Jesus was absolutely transparent and accountable and he never concealed anything. He was and is the most brilliant and the most powerful teacher. He is called the prince of peace for he preached love and truth in the troubled world filled

Everyone’s responsibility

othing gets done and nobody is accountable for that’, is indeed a true reality of our society today.

There are heaps of responsibilities unfulfilled which each one of us is equally responsible. ‘Good roads are citizens’ right’, but do we have good roads? In fact, the roads are far from good and if truth be said, they are not worth saying roads.

With monsoon the roadways shall soon become waterways. My Nagaland!

It is ironic to see volume of waste where it says, “don’t dumb waste here”. The government institutions which should be a code of standard have failed to lift up to that standard. The poor drainage system, backdoor appointments,

unpaid teachers, and many more if to mention are the responsibilities and duties of ‘public department’ or in other word ‘everyone’s responsibility’. We cannot afford to sit and wait for a miracle, we have to take steps to let miracle happen: to bring change in our capacity.

Change is the need of the hour.

We must stop the blame culture; we ought to feel the responsibility. The saying reminds me of the ‘parable of responsibility’. Parable of responsibility. Everybody, somebody, anybody and nobody were members of a group. There was an important job to do and everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure that somebody would do it. Anybody would have done it, but nobody did it.

Somebody got angry because it was everybody’s job.

Everybody thought anybody would do it, but nobody realized that anybody wouldn’t do it. it ended up everybody, blamed, somebody, when nobody did, what anybody could have done.

We need to stop referring to, we need to encourage the participation and be the participants.

Let’s give up the slogan ‘everyone’s responsibility is not my responsibility’, and bring forth the right attitude, ‘everybody’s responsibility is also my responsibility’.

To achieve total responsibility is rather a distant dream but surely a possible dream.

Tiven Tikhir, St. Joseph’s College, Jakhama

with wars and violence. He is called the ‘Messiah’ or the savior because he gave all his best and His own life to save mankind from the evils and gifted grace to the world. Jesus is also called the wonderful counselor and His era commenced the end of confusion and chaos. Installing good governance in India implies that a modern nation is upon its shoulder and implementing some good things that Jesus has taught and wanted mankind to practice and make the world a better living place.

Jesus Christ stands incomparable with extra-ordinary wisdom, miraculous power and for the fact that he was an incarnate in the form of human flesh who resurrected from death on the third day.

There would be good governance everywhere and corruption would never appear if ever the teachings of Jesus Christ are practiced by the nations of the world. The virtues taught by Jesus are the requisites to affect good governance and just government.

It is obvious that the Bible has provided mankind a clear pattern for good governance and that thepoor, vulnerable, needy and oppressed should be the priority concern for leadership. As Christians it is our obligation to defend the cause of the poor and vulnerable and help them transform their life and promote Biblical understanding of good governance and make ourselves and our leaders accountable.

How appropriate it would be if Lord Jesus Christ is or can be accorded honor this way considering his great and unmatchable deed and sacrifice to the world.

Reader’s Post

Sir,

Twenty years talk is to be concluded

Under the Framework Agreement, the separate entity of the Nagas is recognized which should be understood by the Naga people. Shared sovereignty is to be understood by the public of the GoI. It is enough to be understood by the people both sides. If some ones are opposed to it, it is only opposition for the sake of opposition because nobody or group can be expected to do better at this stage.

If there is any problem over mineral resources in Nagaland, it is to be settled among the Nagas because it is under Article 371(A). So it is the hope that we may rest assured that signing of the settlement may be made before August 3, 2017 for the best of all. May God help the leaders of both sides.

Surrendered Maoist cadre makes startling confession

Kolkata, May 24 (IANS): A day after journalists protested against “police barbarism” on their fraternity members during a political event here, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday said a section of the media should not politicise the matter.

“I will not answer the question,” Banerjee said when asked if action will be taken against police officers who beat up journalists covering the ‘March to Nabanna’ (state Secretariat), organised by 11 Left-aligned peasant organisations on Monday.

Referring to a Bengali daily, a visibly annoyed Trinamool Congress supremo said here: “First ask your people (journalists) to behave properly. Tell them not to do politics.”

While police claimed only three media persons were injured, journalists present at the Monday event put the figure at over 20. Some journalists were taken to hospital after the incident.

fession before police.

“I was there with them (Maoists) at the time of attack. They celebrated the cruel killings of CRPF Jawans for three days with Drums and Nagadas,” Panda says in the video.

Panda said: “Maoists were preparing for Burakapal Attack (Sukma) for one month for over a month.

There camp situated in the forests between Fadiguda and Burakapal. Commander Hidma is the mastermind of the attack and Commander

“After martyring 25 CRPF personnel, Maoists celebrated their victory in a camp located in between Kedwa and Tundamarka forests. They danced on drums and nagadas. Hidma, Arjun and Nagesh also gave a speech to the members.

And also villagers from Istaram, Konta, Gullapalli, Polampalli, Pamel, Jagargunda, Keralapal attended the celebration party,” Panda claims in the video.

I along with some other people were released after exhibition of arms and ammunitions recovered from jawans was done on April 28.

On April 24, Maoists attacked Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troops in Sukma district in south Chhattisgarh’s Bastar region, martyring 25 jawans and leaving six others injured.

Omar Abdullah SRINAGAR, MAY 24 (AGENCIES): Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah has denounced as “farce” the Army’s court of inquiry against Major Leetul Gogoi for strapping a man to a jeep’s bonnet purportedly as a shield against stone pelters in Kashmir.

His remarks came after the Major was honoured by Army chief General Bipin Rawat recently with a ‘Commendation Card’ “for his sustained efforts in counter-insurgency operations”.

“In future, please don’t bother with the farce of a

military court of inquiry.

Clearly the only court that matters is the court of public opinion,” Abdullah wrote on Twitter.

A video, showing the man tied to the army vehicle during polling in the Srinagar Lok Sabha by-election on April 9, had triggered a public outcry, prompting the Army to institute a probe and the police to register a case against the officer. Abdullah suggested that the governemt was adopting double standards on issues of human rights violations.

“And international conventions like the Geneva/Vienna ones only count when India can accuse others of violations. Do as we say, not as we do,” the National Conference working president said.

Making an appearance on national TV, Major Gogoi had yesterday explained the circumstances that led to tying the man to the jeep, which he said saved at least 12 lives.

Sugar prices may rise as Cabinet hikes cane price N e w D elhi , M AY 24 (AGENCIES): Sugar prices may rise as the government on Wednesday increased the purchase price of sugarcane from farmers.

The Union Cabinet approved a Rs 25 per quintal, or 10.6%, hike in the fair and remunerative price (FRP) for sugarcane to Rs 255 for 2017-18 season beginning October, finance minister Arun Jaitley said on Wednesday.

While the government had kept sugarcane FRP for 2016-17 season unchanged at Rs 230 per quintal, Jaitley said the situation has improved now and hence the hike in the purchase price.

The FRP is the minimum price that sugarcane farmers are legally guaranteed.

State governments are free to fix their own state advised price (SAP) and millers can offer any price above the FRP.

Arrested IM man could spill Centre appoints five member to NCM the beans on terror network

KOZHIKODE, MAY 24 (AGENCIES): The arrest of Shuhiab Pottanikkal, a key figure in the terror network of the Indian Mujahideen, is a major breakthrough for the investigating agencies as he could spill the beans on other fugitive terrorists.

Shuhiab was arrested from Karipur International Airport on Tuesday night after he was deported from Dubai where he has been living for the past nine years.

Shuhaib hails from Kodinhi

in Malappuram district and was a SIMI activist at the PSMO College, Thirurangadi.

His name first figured in the confession of E T Sainudheen alias Sathar Bhai, who was arrested in 2009 for his alleged connection with bomb blasts at various places in India. “We have issued look out circular on Shuhaib, who is the eighth accused in the case related to the recovery of pipe bombs from Koomankallu

in Malappuram district in 1995,” said a police officer.

Sainudheen is the co-accused in the case.

Sainudheen had told the police that Shuhaib, who was in Dubai, used give financial help to him. It was Shuhaib who provided money to Sainudheen to set an electrical shop at Kondotty. In December 2007, Shuhaib called Sainudheen from Dubai and told that a person will come to meet him at Kuttippuram.

New Delhi, May 24 ( AG E N C I E S ) : Fa c i n g flak from Opposition over vacancies in the National Commission for Minorities (NCM), the Centre has appointed five members to the panel.

The NCM, which has the responsibility of protecting interests of the minority communities, was left with no member in March this year. All its seven members, appointed by previous Congress-led UPA-II government, had retired between September 9, 2015 and March 9 this year.

According to sources in the Union Minority Affairs Ministry, social activist from Uttar Pradesh Gayarul Hasan will be the chairperson of the Commission.

BJP leader from Kerala George Kurian, former Maharashtra minister Sulekha Kumbhare, Jain representative from Gujarat Sunil Singhi and Vada Dasturji Khurshed, chief priest of Udvada Athornan Anjuman, are the other members of the panel.

The process to appoint two more members of the panel, which is expected to be functional in a day or two, “is

on”, the sources added. This is for the first time that a Jain member will be part of the panel after the community was notified as ‘minority’ in January 2014.

The tenure of the panel members is of three years (if not extended).

“So far the tradition was that the Commission had a retired judge or bureaucrat as its chairperson or member. “It is perhaps for the first time that all the members are social activists who know the ground realities,” sources said.

When asked, Minister

of State for Minority Affairs (Independent Charge) Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi confirmed the development.

“These are very capable people. We hope they will do justice to the issues relating to minorities,” Naqvi added. Former NCM member Captain Praveen Davar, who demitted office in January this year, welcomed the development, but rued that the government could have filled vacancies “much earlier” after the Commission members started retiring in phases from September 2015.

Lucknow, MAY 24 (AGENCIES): The Uttar Pradesh government removed two senior Saharanpur officials on Wednesday because of their inability to control caste clashes in the western UP town that has killed two people and injured scores.

Saharanpur senior superintendent of police Subhash Chandra Dubey and district magistrate NP Singh were removed. It wasn’t immediately clear when and where they would be posted.

Orders for posting new officers to Saharanpur was also being issued. This comes after fresh clashes between Dalits and Thakurs in Saharanpur on Tuesday evening that left one dead and eight injured. The violence began on May 5 over a rally to commemorate 16th century king Maharana Pratap. Thakurs torched scores of Dalit houses in Shabeerpur village near Saharanpur. Days later, angry Dalits damaged several houses and vehicles.

Jaitley further said that proposals in sensitive sectors will require the home ministry’s approval.

On the proposals pending with FIPB, he said they will go back to the ministries concerned.

FIPB was constituted under the Prime Minister’s Office following economic liberalisation in the early 1990s.

Currently, only 11 sectors, including defence and retail trading, require government approval for foreign direct investment (FDI).

Jaitley said that about 91-95 per cent of FDI proposals are under the automatic route. There could also be a provision for quarterly review of pending proposals by the economic affairs secretary and annual review by the finance minister.

TNSA president, J. Mutu Muniak, stated that the association would also conduct similar campaign in Pangsau Township and Donghe Township. Thereafter, TNSA said it would issue letters to all merchants and dealers not to sell expired items.

NEW DELHI, May 24 (PTI): The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved winding up of the 25-year-old Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB), which has been vetting FDI proposals requiring government approval.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in his Budget speech on February 1 had announced the scrapping of the interministerial body, which comes under the ministry’s Department of Economic Affairs. The decision to abolish FIPB was taken by the Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Jaitley said while briefing the media after the meeting.

FIPB will be replaced by a new mechanism under which the proposals will be approved by the ministries concerned as per the standard operating procedure approved by the Cabinet, he

“We are also launching a new three-wheeler unit in the next two months at our Haridwar plant, which will be widely used in metro cities. With increasing concerns over clean air, urban congestion and rising fuel import bills, electric mobility is set to become mainstream,” he added.

Mumbai, May 24 (PTI): Mahindra Electric Mobility today unveiled a comprehensive technology and product roadmap that aims to produce 60,000 units of electric vehicles (EVs) per annum over the next two years period.

The company is a pioneer in the development and manufacture of EVs. “We are investing in next generation EV technology solutions which will deliver longer range and higher speeds. We now plan to expand our production capacity of e-vehicles, looking to ramp it up from a mere 400 units monthly to over 1,000 units in next few months and 5,000 units a month over the next two years period,” Mahindra Electric Chairman Pawan Goenka told reporters here.

“We are ramping up our investments towards developing the next generation of EV technologies and products that will cater to the smart cities. Mahindra Electric already sells E20 plus, e-Verito and e-Supro vehicles in the domestic market,” Goenka said.

They can lynch people in the name of cows and no one will say anything,” said Ramon Magsaysay Award winner Bezwada Wilson. Abhiyan convener Thomas Pallithanam said he was alarmed over the government’s hate rhetoric and undermining of constitutional bodies, and called for the civil society to play a proactive role to protect democracy. “When you don’t field a single Muslim candidate in the (Uttar Pradesh assembly) polls and still declare ‘Sabka saath sabka vikas’, when investigative agencies give clean chit to saffron terrorists, amply displays the government intent,” said Pallithanam. Right To Information activist Anjali Bhardwaj questioned the Modi government’s commitment to fight corruption. “The status of anti-corruption institutions and legislation is a clear indication that the BJP is reneging with impunity on its poll promise of fighting corruption,” said Bhardwaj.

She accused the Modi government of intentionally not implementing the WhistleBlowers Protection Act and the Lokpal law.

It said that the real estate sector is exceptional because GST regime does not eliminate multiple taxation. “Stamp duty levied by the states on all immovable property would continue to remain in force even after implementation of Goods and Services Tax .”

The additional burden on real estate on account of stamp duty averages between 5 per cent to 8 cent of the value of the immovable property.

Secondly, the duty is payable on every transaction and is levied by the state governments on circle rates or guideline values of

Giving details, the department said in one case in Jabalpur, the “benamidar”, a driver, was found to be owner of land worth Rs 7.7 crore. The beneficial owner was a Madhya Pradesh based listed company, his employer.

In Mumbai, a professional was found to be holding several immovable properties in the name of shell companies which exist only on paper. In another case in Sanganer, Rajasthan, a jeweller was found to be the beneficial owner of nine immovable properties in the name of his former employee, a man of no means.

IT to grill Misa Bharti and her husband

The Income Tax De-

partment on Wednesday summoned Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav’s daughter Misa Bharti and her husband in connection with a “benami” property case.

An IT official requesting anonymity told IANS: “We have summoned Misa and her husband Shailesh Kumar for questioning on June 6 and 7.” On May 16, the IT Department raided 22 places in and around Delhi in connection with the alleged benami property deals involving Lalu Prasad and his children -- Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav, Health Minister Tej Pratap Yadav and Misa Bharti, who is a Rajya Sabha member.

Besides the RJD supremo, the IT raids were also conducted at the residence of party MP P.C. Gup ta as well as several businessmen and real estate agents in Delhi and Haryana’s Gurugram and Rewari.

The IT Department’s action comes in the wake of allegations made by former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Sushil Kumar Modi.

Modi has alleged involvement of Lalu Prasad and his three children -Tejashwi Yadav, Tej Pratap Yadav and Misa Bharti -- in corrupt land deals.

Prakash Javadekar supports CBSE moderation policy

Prakash Javadekar New Delhi, May 24 (IANS): Union Human Resource Development Minister Prakash Javadekar has supported the CBSE’s moderation policy and said it will stay in effect for now.

“Equalisation of marks for different question papers is OK. But spiking is absolutely unacceptable,” Javadekar told news channel CNN News18 in an interview broadcast on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, the Delhi High Court had asked the Central Board of Secondary Education to not go ahead with its decision to scrap the moderation policy.

The court said that scrapping will “completely change the course of academic future of students” and that “a rule can’t be changed after the game has begun”.

The moderation policy was devised to make up for difficult question papers or confusing, inarticulate questions, which put students at a disadvantage.

But he added: “I don’t take it as a closed issue, and I will continue to engage and use that bipartisan position that I have already experienced while working as minister of health in my own country, but also when I was chairing the Global Fund (to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria).”

The United States currently provides nearly $835 million to WHO’s budget of $5.8 billion for 2016-2017, WHO figures show, combining both U.S. assessed and voluntary contributions.

Tedros said he preferred

to see global agencies including WHO, the World Bank, GAVI vaccine alliance and Global Fund as part of one “big envelope”.

“We need to expand the donor base ... If we have as many countries as possible who can contribute, it could be any amount, I think that will help,” he said.

“By expanding the donor base, we help the health financing to have a kind of shock absorber.”

Thirteen militants and seven members of the security forces have so far been killed and 33 troops wounded in the fighting, according to the military.

Duterte said martial law would mean checkpoints, arrests and searches without warrant, and it would go on for as long as it took to restore order, but he would not tolerate abuses of power by police or soldiers.

He said he would consider some legal measures in the central Visayas region next to Mindanao to facilitate arrests, and might even declare martial law nationwide if he felt extremists had proliferated.

He was also furious that the Maute group had hoisted the flag of Islamic State.

G E N E VA , M AY 2 4 (AGENCIES): The new head of the World Health Organization (WHO) voiced hope on Wednesday that bipartisan support would prevail in the U.S. Congress to fund global health initiatives, despite deep budget cuts proposed by the Trump administration.

But Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, a former Ethiopian health and foreign minister elected as the first African WHO directorgeneral on Tuesday, also said the United Nations agency would be seeking new donors.

U.S. President Donald Trump proposed cuts on Tuesday of about 32 percent from U.S. diplomacy and aid budgets, or nearly $19 billion. His fellow Republicans in Congress assailed his plan, making it unlikely the cutbacks will take effect.

“Anyone now holding a gun, confronting government with violence, my orders are spare no one, let us solve the problems of Mindanao once and for all. Do not force my hands into it,” said Duterte, who cut short his visit to Russia to return to Manila.

“If I think you should die, you will die. If you fight us you will die. If there’s an open defiance you will die and if it means many people dying, so be it. That’s how it is.”

Soldiers and rebels set up checkpoints and roadblocks on routes in and out of Marawi as a stream of men, women and children fled. Long queues of pickup trucks and jeeps crammed full of people and loaded with belongings snaked on roads leading into nearby towns.

PA N T A R ( P H I L I P PINES), MAY 24 (AGENCIES): Thousands of civilians fled fighting in the Philippines on Wednesday as troops sought to contain Islamic State-linked militants who took over large parts of a city, set building ablaze and captured a Catholic priest and other Christians.

President Rodrigo Duterte said he had no choice but to declare martial law on his native island of Mindanao following a failed raid by soldiers on Tuesday on a hideout of the Maute militant group, which triggered clashes and chaos across the largely Muslim city of Marawi.

Duterte said Islamic State could not be allowed to gain a foothold in the Christian-majority Philippines and he would do whatever it took to rebuff extremists from the Maute group and the allied Abu Sayyaf, even if it meant many would die.

“I made a projection, not a prediction, that one of these days the hardest things to deal with would be the arrival of ISIS in our country,” Duterte said, referring to Islamic State.

“The gover nment must put an end to this. I cannot gamble with ISIS because they are everywhere.”

The military has not explained how the raid on an apartment hideout went so badly wrong and resulted in Maute gunmen going on the rampage and taking over roads, bridges, buildings and a hospital.

Duterte said he had heard reports that a police chief in Marawi may have been beheaded by the Maute.

The armed forces said it was on top of the situation but residents who fled told a different story.

“The city is still under the control of the armed group. They are all over the main roads and two bridges leading to Marawi,” student Rabani Mautum told Reuters in Pantar town, about 16 km (10 miles) from Marawi.

Duterte said martial law in Mindanao, which would apply for 60 days initially, would be like that of the 1970s rule of late dictator Ferdinand Marcos, remembered by many Filipinos as one of the darkest chapters of recent history. He said Marcos’ use of martial law was “very good”.

The Catholic church said rebels had taken hostage Father Chito Suganob, a priest at Marawi’s Cathedral of Our Lady Help of Christians, and several churchgoers.

PARIS, MAY 24 (IANS): French President Emmanuel Macron will ask parliament to extend the state of emergency, in place since the 2015 attacks by Islamic State (IS) group, till November, the media reported on Wednesday.

The new President said in a statement that he will ask lawmakers to prolong the measure from July 15, its current expiration date, until November 1, Xinhua news agency reported.

It would be the sixth extension of the state of emergency, which gives police exceptional powers.

It comes after the Monday night suicide bombing at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, northern England, that left 22 persons dead.

The decision was made in a security meeting on Wednesday in which top officials “studied the implications of this new terrorist attack on measures of protection to ensure the security of our compatriots”.

The Indian Air Force in New Delhi denied that the Pakistani fighter jets violated the Indian air space.

Tensions between India and Pakistan have run high since the attack on an Indian army base in Uri in September last year in which 18 Indian soldiers were killed by militants based in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Ten days after the attack India launched

“surgical strikes” there to destroy “terrorist launchpads”.

More recently, the Indian Army yesterday announced that it launched “punitive fire assaults” on Pakistani positions across the Line of Control earlier this month, inflicting some damage. The action was taken in response to the beheading of two Indian soldiers in Kashmir by Pakistani special forces.

Four bodies found on Mt. Everest KATHMANDU, MAY 24 (PTI): Bodies of four climbers, including two foreigners and a woman, have been found at a high altitude camp on Mount Everest, taking the total number of fatalities on the world’s tallest peak to 10 this season.

The four bodies – two foreigners and two Nepalis – were spotted by mountain guides inside a tent at camp IV at 7,950 metres yesterday while they were searching for the body of a Slovak mountaineer.

“Sherpa climbers from Seven Summit Treks who reached there to recover the body of a Slovak mountaineer spotted the four dead

bodies inside a tent,” said Mingma Sherpa, Managing Director Seven Summit Treks, a Kathmandu-based agency that runs expeditions and rescue operations on the 8,848 meters high Everest.

“Six Sherpa climbers were there to recover the body of 49-year-old Slovakian solo climber Vladimir Strba who died at Camp IV on Sunday afternoon,” he said, adding that Slovak’s body was being brought to Camp II. Earlier, an American climber Ronald Yearwood died of altitude sickness near South COl on Sunday.

Pak hangs 2 terrorists involved in Peshawar school massacre ISLAMABAD, MAY 24 (PTI): Pakistan today hanged two hard core Taliban terrorists convicted by the military courts of their involvement in the 2014 Peshawar school massacre which left over 150 people dead, mostly students.

Pakistan Army said Atta Ullah and Taj Muhammad were active members of the proscribed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and had facilitated the terrorists who attacked the Army-run school in Peshawar in December 2014.

“These terrorists were involved in committing heinous offences relating to terrorism, including attack on Army Public School Peshawar, killing of innocent civilians, attacking Armed Forces of Pakistan and Law Enforcement Agencies,” army said.

The terrorists had been tried by military courts and had confessed to their crimes before a magistrate and trial court,

it said.

Earlier in December 2015, four terrorists involved in the Peshawar school attack were executed in Kohat jail in the restive Khyber-Pakhtunkwa province.

Military courts, which were restored in March for another two years after their initial two-year term expired in January, work in secrecy due to fear of attacks by militants.

The courts were set up after a constitutional amendment following the Peshawar terror attack.

Human rights group Justice Project Pakistan says over 440 people have been executed since the Peshawar attack.

Pakistan has been fighting various extremist groups for over a decade. Militant attacks have killed tens of thousands of people. The military courts have handed down the death penalty to more than 170 militants.

Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang told reporters in Beijing that China supported all efforts to bring about peace and ethnic reconciliation in Myanmar and called for all sides to resolve their differences peacefully via talks.

Several large rebel groups operate on the rugged Myanmar-China border and Beijing’s special envoy, Sun Guoxiang, has quietly urged them to attend the conference, amid a warming of relations between the two countries.

Myanmar army chief Senior General Min Aung Hlaing told the conference that signing up to the NCA did not amount to surrender by armed groups, and pledged the military would play its part in seeking solutions to end conflicts.

But he also warned the groups against pushing for too much autonomy and going beyond the contours of the federal state.

YA N G O N, M AY 2 4 (AGENCIES): Myanmar’s leader Aung San Suu Kyi opened a new round of talks with some of the country’s myriad ethnic groups on Wednesday, looking to revive a stuttering peace process after a tough first year in power that saw the worst fighting with rebels in years.

The conference comes amid continued tensions between ethnic armed groups, the military and Nobel Peace Prize winner Suu Kyi, and analysts said it was unlikely to see any new groups join a landmark ceasefire accord negotiated by the previous administration.

Ending decades of near-perpetual civil war is Suu Kyi’s stated No. 1 priority - a goal she sees as key to unlocking the resourcerich country’s potential and guaranteeing basic development for its more than 50 million people.

In an opening speech, Suu Kyi urged the gathered rebel representatives to join the National Ceasefire Agreement (NCA) negotiated by a quasi-civilian transitional government that took office after the end of junta-rule in 2011.

ROME, MAY 24 (AFP): At least 20 migrants including young children drowned today when they fell off an overloaded vessel in the Mediterranean, the Italian coastguard and a humanitarian worker said.

“There’s a critical situation today. About 200 people fell into the water and for the moment we have 20 bodies,” a coastguard spokesman told AFP. The migrants were on a wooden boat carrying between 500 and 700 people and were just 20 nautical miles off the Libyan coast when the accident happened. The crew of the Phoenix aid boat, chartered by the Maltese NGO Moas, had begun the rescue and were distributing lifejackets when many of those on deck fell into the water, perhaps knocked off balance by a wave.

“It’s not a scene from a horror movie, it’s a reallife tragedy that is taking place today at the gates of Europe,” said Chris Catrambone, Moas cofounder, who was aboard the Phoenix and published photos showing dozens of migrants in the water.

With the help of an Italian coast guard ship and several commercial ships, rescuers raced to drag as many people as possible from the water, while a helicopter and military aircraft dropped lifeboats.

“There are still about 30 corpses floating in the area, many are young children,” Catrambone added.

In total, about 15 relief operations were underway Wednesday off Libya, the coast guard said without being able to give a total for the number of migrants involved.

Guitar riffs, hard-hitting drums, earsplitting vocals from this newly assembled band of exceptionally skilled and talented musicians proved that they are truly the embodiment of the spirit of a generation who just wants to rock!

As a debut gig, the band and managing team had arranged for a modest show. However, supported by professionals from the Nagaland music industry,

With so much positive energy and feedback from fans, the band decided to embark on an adventure and share their passion for Rock N’ Roll. Immediately, it was suggested that the next destination had to be the original town of Rock N’ Roll in NagalandMokokchung.

After an intense

month of jamming, the Lords of Rock are ready to go Live! So, don’t miss out and be there at Town Hall, Mokokchung on May 27 from 6:00 PM onwards.

We won’t let the attack beat us: Manchester unites against terror at vigil

L

ess than 24 hours after the terror attack at Ariana Grande’s Manchester gig, thousands joined together at a vigil in the city last night (23 May) to honour the 22 people who were killed and 59 who were injured.

Waving ‘I Heart Manchester’ placards, many sought to send a defiant message that they would not be cowed by fear, nor exploited by those who seek to divide them.

Held in Albert Square outside the Town Hall, crowds spilled into nearby streets. At 6pm, a respectful silence descended, before the Lord Mayor of Manchester, Eddy Newman, began the vigil by thanking the emergency services.

“The people of Manchester will remember the victims forever and we will defy the terrorists by working together to create cohesive, diverse communities that are

stronger together,” he said.

“We are the many, they are the few,” he added.

The Bishop of Manchester, the Rt Rev David Walker, who lit a candle to remember the victims, said that “whether they are local people or from farther away, from now on, they are Manchester too.”

Senior political figures – including Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, Liberal Democrats leader Tim Farron, and Home Secretary Amber Rudd and newlyelected mayor Andy Burnham – congregated onstage, yet did not speak.

Following a day in the city where armed-police were visible on the streets, there was a sense of those in attendance finding catharsis through unity. Many found comfort and pride in the way Manchester had reacted to the tragedy and the acts of kindness happening in its wake.

Encouraging the players, Khekaho said that sports not only keep one fit and healthy but also help sportspersons earn a comfortable life.

Also highlighting on the various schemes and projects under Khelo India, the chief guest said that the department is working so hard to bring sports facilities in the state.

M a d r i d, M ay 2 4 (IANS) : The Spanish Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the 21-month prison sentence handed down by a Barcelona court to FC Barcelona's Argentinian star forward Lionel Messi for tax fraud.

Spain's highest court also upheld the conviction of Lionel Messi's father, although it reduced his prison term from 21 to 15 months, reports Efe. Lionel Messi, a contemporary soccer legend, had been found guilty on three tax fraud counts after he evaded a total of 4.1 million euros ($4.59 million) in taxes accrued from the exploitation of his image rights.

Jorge Messi's reduced sentence came as a result of having returned part of the money owed to the Spanish tax authorities.

This mitigating circumstance was already applied to Lionel Messi by the Barcelona court in July; now the Supreme Court has dictated that the same measure must be applied to his father, who was accused of aiding and abet-

Lionel Messi and father (R) Jorge Messi sentenced to jail over tax fraud charges. ting his son's tax fraud.

The court's verdict also included a fine of two million euros ($2.23 million) for the soccer player and another 1.3 million euro ($1.45 million) fine for his father.

However, their sentencing does not imply that both Messis end up physically serving time in prison, as it is standard policy in Spain that any

prison sentence under two years is suspended by the court handing the verdict, as long as the defendant does not indulge in any additional criminal malfeasance.

The final word regarding their fate remains in the hands of the Barcelona court that signed the sentence which has now been ratified by the Supreme Court.

After visiting a new stadium, Gianni Infantino spoke highly of Russia's football facilities, saying he believes Russia can deliver on its promises.

Moscow, May 24 (IANS): London will be among the bidders for hosting the 2018 FIDE World Chess Championship, FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov said.

The 12-game match will be held under the auspices of the world chess federation FIDE and is planned to take place between November 7-28, 2018.

Alonso spurred to race in the Indy 500

Fernando Alonso qualified in 7th place for the Indy 500, which takes place this Sunday.

Indianapolis, May 24 (agencies) : Twotimes Formula One world champion Fernando Alonso says he has spurred great interest in Spain by racing in the Indy 500, and other drivers crossing over would benefit both sports.

Alonso said he understood that interest back

home in the Indy 500 had spiked by 800 percent. 'For the fans, from what I see now in Spain and Europe, it is amazing the interest in the Indy 500 this year compared to any other year,' he said.

Alonso also believes U.S. fans will become more intrigued by F1 as they get to know those drivers.

'Hopefully from now on the interest in F1 in the U.S. will be growing,' he said.

'We have new owners of F1, (U.S.-based) Liberty Media, and I think they have some good plans to build interest here.'

Alonso decided to skip this week's Monaco Grand Prix, which he has won twice, to try and add the Indy 500 as the second leg of the rare Triple Crown of

Motorsport. The Spaniard hopes to emulate Graham Hill, who in 1972 became the first to complete the F1 championship, Indy and Le Mans 24 Hours collection of titles.

Alonso said he expects no problem adjusting back to F1 after his Indy sojourn, and said: 'My skills, and my driving techniques are developed in F1 cars. I think when I get back there it will be an immediate adaptation.'

With his contract up after this season with the poorly performing McLaren-Honda team, Alonso remained tight-lipped about his future. 'After the summer I will consider what are the options out there,' he said.

New York, May 24 (agencies): Kyrie Irving gritted his teeth, tightened up his left sneaker and hopped to his feet. The pain couldn't stop him. The Celtics couldn't either.

Irving took over in the second half and finished with 42 points despite playing on a tender ankle, LeBron James added 34 and the Cleveland Cavaliers moved within one win of an almost inevitable third date in the NBA Finals with Golden State by rallying to beat Boston 112-99 on Tuesday night in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals.

With James in foul trouble, Irving was forced to do more than ever and he delivered, scoring 19 in less than five minutes and 33 in a 19-minute stretch.

'The kid is special,' James said. 'I was happy to sit back and watch him.

He was born for these moments.'

The defending NBA champions, who shot 71 per cent in the second half, opened a 3-1 lead in the series and can wrap up their third straight conference title - and a 'three-match' against the Warriors - with a win in Game 5 on Thursday night in Boston.

But if Games 3 and 4 are any indication, it won't be easy.
