Cong govt defects in Arunachal Except TUKI all CONG MLAs defect for second time to ppa

ITANAGAR, SEP 16 (AGENCIES): Congress suffered a major blow after it lost the Arunachal Pradesh government again on Friday when chief minister Pema Khandu and all its MLAs but one defected to the Peoples’ Party of Arunachal (PPA), a BJP ally.

Two independents, supporting the Khandu government, also joined the PPA-- a member of the BJP-led antiCongress grouping of North East Democratic Alliance (NEDA).

The Congress had 44 legislators in the house of 60.

Forty-three have defected and the only MLA to remain is former chief minister, Nabam Tuki.

Khandu told reporters that he had informed Speaker Wangki Lowang that “we are merging the Congress with the PPA”. The merger was decided at a Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting held on Friday morning.

PPA chairperson Kameng Ringu said the Congress MLAs joining his party was something waiting to happen.

“It is a homecoming after a temporary exile,” Ringu told IANS. After the mass exodus of Congress MLAs, the PPA now has a strength of 45 legislators. Besides, there are 11 BJP MLAs.

Khandu justifies

Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Pema Khandu today said that the decision of 43 Congress MLAs to join Peoples’ Party of Arunachal, the lone regional party of the state, was in the interest of the state and the people.

“It is an undeniable fact that for a resource-stressed state like Arunachal it has to depend on the Centre for all its needs. It is difficult to make things done at the Centre with political difference,” he told reporters during a press conference here today.

He said the decision to join the PPA was “conscious and unanimous” as most of the MLAs expressed their views in a meeting convened this morning that to get more development funds from the Centre it was imperative to go for a change.

“Keeping in view how to bring development to the state keeping the regional flavour and sentiments of the people and their aspirations, we have decided to join the PPA,” Khandu said. He said the state as on date had inherited a cumulative deficit of about Rs 3,700 crore out of which liabilities of about Rs 1,200 crore had been cleared out of the resources meant for 2016-17. “The present circumstances do not give us any space to overcome

the burden of finances we had inherited for which a decision in the larger interest of the state was compelling,” he said.

“PPA being an alliance partner of North East Democratic Alliance (NEDA), a conglomeration of BJP and other regional political parties of the North East, we will develop a mechanism on how to get more development funds from the Centre,” he said.

Cong slams BJP

Congress on Friday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP of “foul play” and committing a “fraud on democracy” after Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Pema Khandu along with 42 Congress MLAs quit the party and joined PPA. “Modi’s and BJP’s foul play and fraud on democracy has come to a full circle in Arunachal Pradesh today,” Con-

Massive landslide on NH-2

gress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala told reporters here.

“The PPA is the illegitimate child of the BJP’s diabolical design to decimate democracy,” he alleged. “Mandate of the people of the border state of Arunachal has been robbed in broad daylight,” Surjewala said. “The gross and rampant misuse of money power finally delivered an immoral government of opportunists and turncoats,” Surjewala alleged.

Meanwhile, BJP on Friday said it had no role in the dramatic political developments in Arunachal Pradesh where 43 Congress MLAs including the CM defected to the PPA, an ally of the BJP. “If elected MLAs don’t want to stay with Congress, what can the others do. The Supreme Court reinstated the Congress government but ultimately the MLAs’ decision is final. The Congress had tried to blame BJP unnecessarily,” said Kiren Rijiju, minister of state for Home and MP from Arunachal West parliamentary constituency. He suggested that as a local leader from the state he understands the agony of Congress state leaders, including incumbent chief minister Khandu, as the central leadership of Congress party continues to adopt “lukewarm response” to leaders from the North East.

KOHIMA, SEP 16 (NPN): North Eastern Development Finance Corporation Limited (NEDFi) in collaboration with the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) would set up a North East Venture fund, a dedicated venture capital fund for the region to encourage start-up ventures in the northeast region.

Informing this during the business meet organized

by NEDFi and Entrepreneurs Associates Nagaland here on Friday, NEDFi Chairman & Managing Director (CMD), B.P Muktieh, said the size of the fund would be Rs 100

crore. Out of the total amount, Rs. 45 crore will be contributed

by DoNER ministry, Rs. 30 crore by NEDFi and the balance amount of Rs. 25 crore would be raised from other financial institution(s).

For this, Muktieh said NEDFi has already set up two wholly-owned subsidiary companies viz. NEDFi Trustee Ltd and NEDFi Venture Capital Ltd to operationalise the venture fund, which was expected to be launched by October, 2016, after the same was registered with SEBI. Stressing the need to expand NEDFi network in the state, he urged EA to assist NEDFi, adding that many youngsters have many ideas

and plans to set up business but could not take off due to lack of fund.

CMD said NEDFi could be the partners in their business and advised them to start their projects by now instead of waiting for the schemes to be launched.

Besides agri, food processing, handloom and tourism, he suggested that priority be given in health sector because many people from NE region go outside for treatment. Muktieh said the amount for the scheme was huge as NEDFi wanted big projects in NE. He appealed to the entrepreneurs to take advantage of the scheme.

by T R Zeliang while filing his educational affidavit for 2013 state polls, holding that the petitioners were too late in filing the petition before the court.

MOKOKCHUNG, SEP 16 (NPN): Minister of school education and SCERT, Yitachu, on Friday said that education was not a thing to be held back or kept hidden, but to give back to the society and the humanity. “If we don’t give back to the society, then we are diverting the course of education,” Yitachu said while addressing the Platinum Jubilee celebration of Mayangnokcha Government Higher Secondary School Mokokchung.

The minister said that education in the state today has taken a different path, saying that education has been degraded to just merely achieving a degree for the sake of a ‘government job’. Yitachu lamented that this was not probably the vision of “our pioneers” who painfully took the trouble of establishing schools and educational institutions.

Pointing out that the literacy rate of the state stood at 80.11%, which is more than the national literacy rate, the minister said that the state has no

Governor greets PM on his birthday

DIMAPUR, SEP 16 (NPN): Nagaland Governor, P.B. Acharya, on his behalf, family and on behalf of the people of Nagaland has extended warm birthday greetings to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose birthday falls on September 17.

In his greetings, Acharya said “the entire Nagaland fondly remembers your visit to Nagaland. Your exemplary concern for North East in general and Nagaland in particular is deeply associated by one and all”.

He said people were overjoyed by Modi’s visit to Nagaland as a Prime Minister of India, after a gap of 15 years. “Your sincere determination to bring peace and having dialogue with the underground groups is valued very much by Naga people”, Acharya stated.

dearth of “educated persons”.

He, however, cautioned that if this trend of acquiring education just for the sake of a degree continued then this will never move the society forward. Education minister said that unless “we take a U turn” from the present education system, “we will be heading nowhere.”

Further, Yitachu stressed on the need to have quality education where the idea of innovation, research and development and all other useful aspects happened in such educational institutions.

Only through this, the

minister said can a society move ahead and develop a healthy competitive environment. The minster also said that the present system of checking corruption was in itself a very lucrative business, which according to him posed a dangerous trend in the society. “If this trend is not put to stop, we are heading nowhere”, he stated. Yitachu said there was therefore the need of educational institution that could imbibe the right kind of knowledge and education into the minds of the younger generations.

ANUDEA demands 40% quota in NPSC examination

DIMAPUR: All Nagaland Unemployed Diploma Engineers Association (ANUDEA) has appealed to the state government to reserve 40% (JE post) for diploma holders in the upcoming NPSC technical examination.

In a representation addressed to the state chief minister, the ANUDEA president Sentilo Magh and general secretary Aboka Awomi pointed out that the Nagaland Engineering Service Rule 2006 and 2012 was silent about the 40% reservation for Diploma holders. However, they said that as per the Nagaland Engineering Service Rule 1997 included in part III clearly states that 40% of the total vacancies being reserved for 3 years’ diploma certificate holders “as indicated in schedule VI of this rule.”

The association stated that was not been given to the

diploma holders, adding that a diploma holder competing with a degree holder was “quite questionable.”

ANUDEA further stated that it has been appealing to the responsible authorities over the issue, but they could not satisfy its appeal. It, therefore, urged the chief minister to reframe or review the service rule and include 40% reservation for diploma. The association maintained that students holding diploma in engineering were mostly from underprivileged section of society, who did not get opportunity to pursue further studies (B.Tech/B.E). But, ANUDEA said that the government did not seem to create opportunities for diploma holders and went to the extent of removing 40% reservation of JE post in NPSC (CTE), which, it described, was “a step motherly treatment”.

IMPHAL, Sep 16: Manipur chief minister O Ibobi Singh Friday voiced concern over state media inability to enjoy freedom of expression and freedom of press guaranteed by the Constitution of India.

“I am very concerned about the situation of freedom of expression and freedom of media people of the state,” the chief minister said while observing that media could not enjoy their rights fully owing to diktat from various circle.

Attending the 43rd foundation day of All Manipur Working Journalists Union (AMWJU) held Friday at Manipur Press Club, the chief minister lauded media persons for their commitment while working in a “complex” state like Manipur.

“Despite its small size, we have multiple numbers of ethnic communities and it is natural that each community work for the interest of their community,” said Ibobi.

“So, working as a journalist amidst such a complex society with commitment is a challenging task but it will be true service for people, if I am to say. The role being played by you (journalists) is worth praising”, Ibobi added.

While talking about the obstacles being faced by the journalists of the state and interference from various quarters, the chief minister expressed hope that someday media would get complete freedom of speech.

Reminding media as fourth pillar of democracy, the Ibobi said that without press the society would be in complete dark. Apart from being a fourth pillar of the society, media is leading the society in a right direction, he added.

For the welfare of journalists’ faculty, the chief minister said that he would help in establishing a corpus fund.

The statement claimed that the struggle for the protection of tribal land, rights and identity was a spontaneous reaction on the night of August 31, 2015 against the three infamous “anti-tribal bills”.

Mention may be made that the nine youths were killed in violent agitations which erupted after the state Assembly passed three ILPS related bills.

“With the sacrifices made by our nine tribal martyrs still fresh in our minds, our commitments to finish what our nine brave hearts have started become stronger with each passing day,” the statement added.

However, it is evident that the opposition parties did not want to be embarrass themselves with the resolution as the members ruling Congress-led Meghalaya United Alliance government have decided to support Mondal in case if the resolution is put to vote.

In the 60-member assembly, the ruling Meghalaya United Alliance comprises 29 Congress members barring the Speaker, two of the Nationalist Congress Party and 11 Independents and one member of the North East Socialist Democratic Party.

Shillong, Sep 16: Meghalaya’s opposition parties on Friday withdrew the resolution seeking the removal of Speaker Abu Taher Mondal in the concluding day of autumn session.

The resolution against the removal of the Speaker was supposed to be taken up on Friday before the propagation of the assembly.

However, Mondal informed the legislators that he had received a letter from National People’s Party (NPP) legislator James Sangma informing that he has withdrew the resolution.

Sangma did not cite any reason for withdrawing the resolution.

The withdrawal of the resolution came a day after Hill State People’s Democratic Party legislator Ardent Miller Basaiawmoit withdrew a no-confidence motion without a vote on it, a first in the state assembly’s history.

The no-confidence motion against the Mukul Sangma-led Congress government was moved by Basaiawmoit and supported by United Democratic Party and Na-

tional People’s Party.

“We have brought a noconfidence motion against the government and withdrew it after raising various issues in the House. After a second thought, we decided to withdraw the resolution against the Speaker as the situation demands,” Opposition leader, Donkupar Roy said.

On September 9, the assembly had admitted a resolution brought by Sangma, accusing Mondal of having failed to carry out his duties and responsibilities as Speaker.

Chief Minister Mukul Sangma said that the opposition withdrew the resolution against the Speaker was after members of the House had an “effective debate” (no-confidence motion) on Thursday.

“It is obvious there was no further need to have any other debate (resolution to remove the Speaker) which would only negate the positive the outcome of Thursday’s debate,” Sangma told journalists.

Reacting to the withdrawal of the resolution, Speaker Mondal said, “I am looking forward to work towards fulfilling the aspirations

Aizawl, Sep 16 (PTI): Mizoram has 7,22,739 voters including 3,68,757 female voters, according to the final voters’ list published by the state election department.

Joint Chief Electoral Officer F J Liantluanga told PTI that female voters outnumbered their male counterparts by 14,775 votes.

Liantluanga said that the final publication of the state voters’ list was delayed as the Election Commission of India instructed the State Election Commission not to publish final electoral roll in three districts - Mamit, Lunglei and Lawngtlai. The Commission’s instruction came after NonGovernment Organisations in the state obstructed the election officials from conducting summary revision of electoral rolls in the six Bru relief camps in Tripura.

The NGO Coordination committee demanded that only those Brus who return to Mizoram from Tripura should be enrolled in the state voters’ list and no one in Tripura should be enlisted in Mizoram’s electoral roll. “We received the new instruction from the Election panel only recently to publish the Voters lists in Mamit, Lawngtlai and Lunglei districts, where the Bru voters are enrolled,” he said.

Indian, Nepalese security interests inter-linked: Modi

PM Modi claps as his Nepalese counterpart Pushpa Kamal Dahal speaks during a joint statement at Hyderabad house in New Delhi on Friday. (PTI) New Delhi, Sep 16 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said India and Nepal have a “time tested” and unique friendship and their security interests are inter-linked.

“Our friendship is timetested and unique. We share our burden during difficult times, just as we celebrate each other’s achievements.

As immediate neighbours and close friendly nations, peace, stability and economic prosperity of Nepal is our shared objective,” Prime Minister Modi said, in his media statement after holding talks with visiting Nepalese Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal “Prachanda” here.

Modi also commended Prachanda’s role in “strengthening democratic institutions in Nepal”. “Our security interests are inter-linked. We

agreed that securing our societies is essential for achieving shared objectives of development and growth. India stands ready and prepared to strengthen development partnership with Nepal. We will do so as per the priorities of the people and government of Nepal,” he said.

Modi also said that continued cooperation between the defence and security agencies is important to guard the open borders between the two countries that provide opportunities for interaction to their people.

Prachanda meanwhile said Nepal is eager to learn from India’s “success story”, and his government is focused on the agenda of development. The two leaders earlier held bilateral talks and signed a series of agreements at Hyderabad House. Prachanda

I-T dept mulls law change to crack down on evaders B E N G A LU RU, S e p 1 6 (Agencies): The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) is actively considering amending required legislature and allow the income tax (I-T) department to defer tax assessment in the coming year — enabling it to crack the whip on all those who refrained from coming clean on their undisclosed income even after the department sent them letters.

A senior I-T official, on Friday said on condition of anonymity that the Board will go after every individual or institution that has failed to respond and disclose income despite its letter under the new Income Declaration Scheme (IDS), reported TOI. “There are a little over 7 lakh letters written to individuals and institutions asking them to declare their undisclosed income under IDS. The last date is September 30 and no time will be given after that.

The fact that we’ve written the letter is revelation that we know that they have undisclosed income and nobody who fails to comply will be spared,” he said. “...If the taxpayer or tax professionals think the I-T department may not be able

to manage this task given the work overload, let me tell you that the board is actively considering even deferring the assessment for the coming year or two so that the officials can go after such defaulters,” he said, adding, if the department can defer assessment, then a majority of its workload is gone.

For example, he explained: “If we amend the law to allow us to complete all the assessments that need to be done by December 2017

by December 2019, you can imagine the kind of relief we will have. We’ll have both the manpower and other resources to go after such people.”

He said that all such people will not only be levied penalty and fines, but will also be prosecuted. “They will not be allowed to compound their cases by paying additional taxes,” he added.

In many cases of evasion or wrongful declaration, the I-T department doesn’t proceed up to prosecution.

“The general philosophy has been that we shouldn’t litigate with our own taxpayers. So in many cases they are allowed to pay additional taxes and avoid prosecution,” another officer pointed out.

SUMMON FOR SETTLEMENT OF ISSUE

arrived here on Thursday on a four-day visit to India. The new Maoist-led government in Nepal assumed power last month after the ouster of K.P. Sharma Oli as Prime Minister.

Earlier on Friday, Prachanda was accorded a ceremonial welcome at the Rashtrapati Bhavan here.

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj called on him at the Rashtrapati Bhavan.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Minister of State for Power Piyush Goyal are also slated to meet the Nepal Prime Minister later in the day. Prachanda is to also meet President Pranab Mukherjee.

In the evening, he will attend a joint business event organised

by Assocham.

In an interview with state broadcaster Doordarshan, Prachanda said that Nepal-India ties are unique and that his visit was aimed at building “trust and confidence” between the two sides.

Ties between both neighbours had soured during the 10month rule of K.P. Sharma Oli, with Kathmandu showing a marked pro-Beijing tilt.

India is hoping to bring ties back on track with the visit of Prachanda, who has chosen New Delhi for his first foreign outing after taking over.

China’s President Xi Jinping is expected to visit Kathmandu in October, while Indian President Pranab Mukherjee is visiting in early November.

national Centre to support states affected by chikungunya New Delhi, Sep 16 (IANS): Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda on Friday said the ministry will support the governments of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Delhi in tackling the rising cases of dengue and chikungunya.

“Have assured all support to the Delhi government and the governments of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana in tackling the rising cases of dengue and chikungunya. The issue of helping with the bed strength in the central government hospitals was also discussed,” said Nadda. The Minister said they have adequate strength of beds in central government hospitals and measures will be taken to enhance the numbers. He said there is no shortage of doctors, paramedical staff, drugs, testing kits or labs for treatment of the patients. Nadda, who met Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain and spoke to the health ministers of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh over phone, said that adequate number of fever clinics are operating in the central government hospitals for treating the patients.

“There is a need to maintain hygiene and cleanliness in the surroundings. It needs to be ensured that the environment is not collecting water which could be vector breeding grounds. Importance of community participation to prevent vector breeding needs to be emphasised,” said Nadda.

Delhi has so far witnessed deaths of 32 patients who were suffering from vector borne chikungunya and dengue.

Mulayam’s formula for peace between son, brother LUCKNOW, Sep 16 (Agencies): Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav on Friday said there are no differences between his brother Shivpal Yadav and son and chief minister Akhilesh Yadav as he attempted to end a feud that has shaken the party months before the crucial state assembly polls.

“It is election time, we should all come together and work. There is no fight between Akhilesh and Shivpal,” the SP chief said while addressing the party’s supporters. “Samajwadi Party is a family, there are no differences in the party... Akhilesh will not defy my word,” he added.

Sources said Mulayam rejected Shivpal’s resignation, who had stepped down from party posts and the state cabinet on Thursday, after meeting him in the morning. He held the meeting at his residence to thrash out a solution to the ongoing power struggle between Akhilesh and Shivpal.

Akhilesh had rejected Shivpal’s resignation from the cabinet after a brief meeting with him on Thursday night, reported The Hindustan Times.

Pointing out that workers and supporters of the party were worried about the unfolding events within the party, Mulayam said that Akhilesh would meet his uncle Shivpal.

As party workers raised slogans in favour of Shivpal, the SP chief shouted them down and said they should remain quiet while he was speaking.

He also reversed the decision of his chief minister son, announcing that former

Akhilesh Yadav

Mulayam Singh Yadav

Shivpal Yadav

minister Gayatri Prajapati, who is considered close to Shivpal, will be reinstated in the government. Prajapati was sacked

by Akhilesh on Monday over charges of alleged corruption.

On his part, Akhilesh said Mulayam’s decision on all issues will be the final one.

“If there is some issue, Netaji will find a solution and everyone will accept it.

Netaji is my father and also his (Shivpal’s) brother. He will settle the issue,” Akhilesh said while addressing a function organised by a private television channel.

The CM added that ‘Netaji’ and he had decided to keep an eye on outsiders an indication towards the party’s Rajya Sabha MP Amar Singh, whose alleged role in the crisis is also under the scanner.

“We will not allow any outsider to interfere in the affairs of the party and the family,” he said.

The chief minister also indicated he would accept Mulayam’s decision to reinstate

Prajapati but reiterated that action would be taken against SP leaders if they were found involved in land grabbing.

Show of strength After spending most of the night outside the 7, Kalidas Marg residence of the former minister, supporters of Shivpal shouted anti-Akhilesh slogans on Friday demanding that Akhilesh should touch Shivpal’s feet as a nephew and apologise for the humiliation he heaped on their leader.

The protesting supporters also demanded Shivpal that should be retained as the state president and all departments be restored to him. Many leaders wept openly and also threatened to immolate themselves if their demands were not met.

Dileep Singh ‘Babloo’, 32, a zila panchayat member from Etawah, led a dharna outside Shivpal’s residence. His sup-

porters shouted slogans saying, “Ramgopal ko kinarey karo (Sideline Ramgopal Yadav) and “Netaji, gaddi sambhalo (Mulayam Singh Yadav, take over as CM)”.

Prajapati – whose sacking by Akhilesh and Shivpal’s nephew on Monday is said to have triggered the crisis – came to meet Shivpal at his residence.

The two later came out to greet the supporters. Addressing his supporters, Shivpal asked them to march to the party headquarters.

Several ministers, as well as MLAs who are considered as Shivpal loyalists, thronged to meet him. On Thursday night, state ministers Raghuraj Pratap Singh, Indrajit Kori, Shivendra Singh and Ranvijay Singh were spotted at Shivpal’s residence along with some party legislators.

Maoists fourth deadliest terror outfit after Taliban, IS, Boko Haram: Report

NEW DELHI, SEP 16 (AGENCIES): The world witnessed 11,774 terror attacks in 2015, in which 28,328 people were killed and 35,320 injured. India was the fourth worst-affected country after Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, with 43% of 791 attacks in the country carried out by Naxalites. A total of 289 Indians died in terror strikes.

Data collected by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism contracted with the US state department revealed that Taliban, Islamic State and Boko Haram were the three deadliest terror groups globally. They were followed by CPI(Maoist), a banned outfit.

The CPI(Maoist) was responsible for 343 terror attacks in 2015, killing 176 people.

Taliban were involved in 1,093 strikes in which 4,512 people lost their lives, IS launched 931 attacks which claimed the lives of 6,050 people and Boko Haram was involved in 491 attacks killing 5,450 people. Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which rounded off the top five in the list, was involved in 238 strikes, killing 287. Over half the terror attacks in India took place in four states - Chhattisgarh

(21%), Manipur (12%), J&K (11%) and Jharkhand (10%).

Chhattisgarh, which has been hit hard by Left-wing extremism, reported a doubling of terror attacks in 2015 - from 76 in 2014 to 167. The report said there was great diversity in the perpetrators/terrorist groups involved in attacks in the country, with 45 outfits active across the country. The Naxals alone accounted for 43% of terrorist attacks in India last year. The report said the number of people kidnapped/ taken hostage by terrorists and insurgent groups in India almost tripled in 2015, increasing to 862 from 305 in 2014. Of this, Naxals alone kidnapped/ took hostage 707 persons last year compared with 163 in 2014. In 2014, there were no attacks in which 50 or more people were kidnapped or taken hostage while in 2015, there were seven such attacks, all of them attributed to Maoists.

Home ministry data also said that between 2010 and 2015, 2,162 civilians and 802 security personnel were killed

by Naxals. Most of the dead were ‘tribals’, often branded as police informers. The report said that while India ranked high among countries witness-

SUMMON FOR SETTLEMENT OF ISSUE

ing terror attacks, the lethality of these attacks were relatively low. The number of perpetrators/terrorists killed in attacks in India doubled in 2015, accounting for 20% of all deaths compared with 7% in 2014. In all, 6,924 terrorists (24%) were killed in the attacks perpetrated by them worldwide.

Blame the Russians

t was a necessity which had to be met but the longer the Americans took to let reality sink into their heads, more civilians were being killed in the horrific civil war in Syria. When reality finally dawned and resulted into action on September 9, the Russians and Americans finally agreed to a cease fire in Syria (where both sides are backing rival sides) in order to provide much needed food and medicines to the battered civilians in the country and in hard hit places like Aleppo. The Americans don’t like to admit, but their legendary gunboat diplomacy and flawed analysis during crisis throughout the globe, have only added fuel to the fire with disastrous consequences in the regions and loss of hundreds and thousands of lives of American servicemen. While Russia and the U.S. agreed to cooperate in future airstrikes against ISIS, there is still very little military communication between the two sides and very little agreement about who should govern in Syria.

Unfortunately, there are many military and political reasons why this most recent ceasefire agreement seems unsustainable. Primarily, the Russian support for President Bashar al-Assad and the American support for the Syrian rebel opposition are in direct confrontation with each other. The American support for rebels has also directly benefitted pro-ISIL groups who have been also fighting alongside the latter.

Though the ceasefire is holding somehow, it lacks any enforcement mechanism and rely on the goodwill of rebel groups and the governments to follow the deal to prevent infighting. After the Cold War, and particularly in the early part of this century, the United States came to overestimate the extent to which its power- military power, especially- could produce strategic outcomes in its national interest. The pendulum has swung considerably in the intervening years.

Political analysts see a world in flames and fear that the United States is incapable of extinguishing them, let alone rejuvenating the liberal world order over which it has presided for the past seven decades.

American mindset against Russia appears to have remained despite the end of the cold war. With less than two months to go before the U.S. presidential election, rumours of Russian cyber hacks of the American election system are increasing in intensity.

This was the most widely reported speculated in the mainstream American media, controlled by big corporate houses who are funding and backing Hillary Clinton. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s comments at the commander-in-chief forum on NBC News, in which he praised Russian President Vladimir Putin and suggested that the U.S. might work with Russia to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and the Greater Syria (ISIS), have only attracted the ire of the liberal mainstream media but who mercifully are tolerant .In India, if any politician were to praise Nawaz Sharif then he better expect to be hauled over coals of fire by the “nationalistic and patriotic media”.

The US media has been accusing Russia of hacking into websites without any evidence and obliquely inferring that Trump is a Russian-backed candidate.

When confidential documents from the server of the Democratic National Convention were leaked, the US media obliquely pointed fingers at Russia but later the alleged hacker claimed he did it on his own. The cold war has gone with the demise of the USSR but perhaps McCarthyism in the US is still alive.

DailyDevotion Praying to God in Secret When you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place… —Matthew 6:6 The primary thought in the area of religion is— keep your eyes on God, not on people. Your motivation should not be the desire to be known as a praying person. Find an inner room in which to pray where no one even knows you are praying, shut the door, and talk to God in secret.

Have no motivation other than to know your Father in heaven. It is impossible to carry on your life as a disciple without definite times of secret prayer.

“When you pray, do not use vain repetitions…” (Matthew 6:7). God does not hear us because we pray earnestly— He hears us solely on the basis of redemption.

God is never impressed by our earnestness. Prayer is not simply getting things from God— that is only the most elementary kind of prayer. Prayer is coming into perfect fellowship and oneness with God. If the Son of God has been formed in us through regeneration (see Galatians 4:19), then He will continue to press on beyond our common sense and will change our attitude about the things for which we pray.

“Everyone who asks receives…” (Matthew 7:8). We pray religious nonsense without even involving our will, and then we say that God did not answer— but in reality we have never asked for anything. Jesus said, “…you will ask what you desire…” (John 15:7). Asking means that our will must be involved. Whenever Jesus talked about prayer, He spoke with wonderful childlike simplicity.

Then we respond with our critical attitude, saying, “Yes, but even Jesus said that we must ask.” But remember that we have to ask things of God that are in keeping with the God whom Jesus Christ revealed.

Post-mortem

with online submission Mother Teresa: The imperfect Issues of scholarship applications saint who struggled with doubt W O n Sunday, September 4, before 120,000 people gathered in St. Peter’s Square, Pope Francis declared Mother Teresa a saint. Née Agnes Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, she is now “St. Teresa of Kolkota” — though even Francis admitted she would probably still be simply called “Mother Teresa.”

Standing in the midst of this iconic moment was Rev. Brian Kolodiejchuk, the man who had been charged with gathering the evidence to prove Mother Teresa’s candidacy for sainthood. After 17 years of waiting, he was now enjoying the fruit of his labors.

Yet Rev. Kolodiejchuk is known for more than proving Mother Teresa’s saintliness — he also played a role in exposing her humanity.

In 2007, Rev. Kolodiejchuk edited Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light. The book, a compilation of private letters and writings of Mother Teresa, shocked the world with the revelation that for almost 50 years the woman whom in life the world considered a living saint experienced a crisis of faith.

“Lord, my God, who am I that You should forsake me? The Child of your Love — and now become as the most hated one — the one — You have thrown away as unwanted — unloved. I call, I cling, I want — and there is no One to answer — no One on Whom I can cling — no, No One,” wrote Mother Teresa in a personal prayer-confession to Jesus.

“When I try to raise my thoughts to Heaven — there is

S

enator Bernie Sanders’ call during the primaries for a new approach to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was on-point and necessary. However, his plea for the US to adopt a policy of even-handedness in dealing with Israel and the Palestinians will not suffice. In fact, even if the incoming administration changed its approach by coercing Israel to make important concessions and stop its settlement enterprise, this will not produce the necessary conditions to make peace at this particular juncture of the conflict.

Furthermore, any new approach by the EU during the current UN General Assembly meetings to restart the talks in the traditional way, either directly or through mediation, will not lead to an agreement regardless of the pressure or incentives that may be employed to persuade Israel and the Palestinians to resume negotiations in earnest.

A process of reconciliation must precede any formal negotiations for about two years, because the conditions on the ground have dramatically changed for the worse since the Oslo Accords. For the Palestinians, hopelessness has set in, mutual distrust has deepened, and extremists on both sides have gained significant traction. Perhaps

such convicting emptiness that those very thoughts return like sharp knives & hurt my very soul.

— I am told God loves me — and yet the reality of darkness & coldness & emptiness is so great that nothing touches my soul.”

Mother Teresa’s “dark night” of the soul was far more than a fleeting sense of doubt; it was a harrowing, and seemingly unending, sense of abandonment.

The “saint of the gutters,” while spending herself in the life of selfabnegation she became famous for, was herself living in the gutters of spiritual uncertainty.

For decades, Mother Teresa has had her critics, including the late atheist Christopher Hitchens, who in 1994 released a highly critical documentary with the derisive name “Hell’s Angel.” The publishing of the personal letters nine years ago provided more ammunition to skeptics. The question cannot be denied: How can someone, held so highly, so pure and unblemished, in the world’s eye, struggle with doubt in the deepest way possible, yet sincerely maintain faith?

The truth is Mother Teresa’s story can only come in this set of colliding realities. She was a saint in life — and earned the official title in death — precisely because she held on to faith, in the most public way anyone has ever had to, even when it took everything within her to do so.

Faith, to Mother Teresa, and to many other saints in history as others have noted, did not mean absence of doubt, but rather ardent, loyal belief precisely in the

face of doubt.

Atheists and sceptics criticize Christians because they want a squeaky clean experience of God. Yet true faith dwells in the grime and the dirt, in the corners of Kolkota and Mogadishu, and in “dark nights” of our human souls.

It hangs on a cross, in a darkening day, as Son cries to Father, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?)

Mother Teresa once famously said, “If I ever become a saint, I will surely be one of ‘darkness.’

I will continually be absent from Heaven, to light the light of those in darkness on earth.”

Heaven, indeed, is not accessible if it doesn’t descend into our dark world.

Of all the saints to have lived, Mother Teresa might become better known for her imperfections than her impeccability. Yet if her story tells us one thing it is that we don’t have to be perfect to be a “saint.”

It was from India where Saint Theresa launched her world wide ministry of mercy. As a nation, we are proud of her.

‘Hell is truth seen too late’

most important, the political landscape has shifted to the right in both camps, making it highly unlikely to resume peace talks with any prospect of reaching an agreement.

There is no doubt that Palestinian acts of violence against Israelis are a direct result of 50 years of occupation that continues to frustrate and incite them. Consequently, the Palestinians feel they have been left with no option but to resort to violence in an effort to end the occupation and pave the way for the establishment of their own state in the West Bank and Gaza.

Conversely, the Israelis can also make a persuasive argument that the Palestinians cannot be trusted. The Second Intifada in particular was a turning point in the mind of most Israelis, which further deepened their distrust and heightened (albeit often to exaggeration) their national security concerns.

Unfortunately, successive right-of-center Israeli governments, especially those led by Netanyahu, exploited security concerns to expropriate more Palestinian territory and build new and expand existing settlements to create so-called “secure borders.”

To change the dynamic of the conflict, reconciliatory people-to-people measures becomes central to creating

fertile ground for negotiations to succeed.

Such measures of reconciliation should include but not be limited to: facilitating mutual visitation, joint women activism, sporting events, student interaction, travelling art exhibitions, encouraging public discourse, hosting forums to discuss conflicting issues, and imploring the media to promote such shared initiatives.

Additional steps can be taken by leadership on both sides, including: halting mutual acrimonious public narratives, modifying textbooks, taking no provocative actions (i.e. halting settlement expansion during the period of reconciliation), and maintaining security cooperation between the two sides.

These measures are central to changing the psychological dynamic of the conflict and sociopolitical environment between them by mitigating the problem of mutual distrust, national security, and the illusion that either can rule over all of mandated Palestine.

Only by adhering to such a process will they demonstrate their commitment to peace, which has been lacking but is essential to making the necessary concessions to reach an agreement.

As the process of reconciliation gets underway, the

NSCN (I-M) condemns; warns social media users

t was end of the day for a man whose entire life was dedicated for the cause of Naga Nation. Recalling his trustworthiness in believing that the Naga people are God’s chosen people, it was a moment of agony given the magnitude of loss and emptiness of our most dignified personality and the most decorated National Hero late Isak Chishi Swu, who left behind him a task that would be a big vacuum for the Nagas to fill in.

In times of our sorrow, where the entire Naga community as well as the people of North-East were in deep mourning when out of nowhere and without second thought a 19 years old young man by name CHINGKHIUNGAM H PAMEI, son of Mr. Hulungsung Pamei and Mrs. Rangkiusiliu of L-Pabram village, Tamenglong Dist.

Manipur, posted in his face book on 28th June 2016 with a derogatory comment without knowing anything about our most beloved leader.

Quote “ISAK SWU…..I’m so happy that you are death….See you in hell…Sala Nagaland karne ki kuri dise??? You can’t use your power to reshape Nagaland….Sala chooor ISAK….”

Defamatory comment from such a pervert and diseased mind frame makes manifest of those elements that are held

ith the Govt. of India making it mandatory to apply online for all types of central scholarships many parents, students and school authorities have tough time with the process of online submissions. It is strange that the higher level officials of the Govt. of India have taken such a decision without realizing the ground realities existing in many remote areas in the North Eastern states. Even at many District head quarters the net connectivity is very weak and sometimes it takes hours to submit one online application. One can imagine the plight of students from sub divisions and villages who have to depend on one or two net cafés that too use only 2G connectivity. Above all the national scholarships portal develops technical snags time to time and no one knows whom to contact for reporting such issues and seeking help. For example, from the first week of September, class XII students are unable to submit their applications as the option under the drop down menu ‘Present Course of Study’ does not show class XII. Many students who are in class XII submit their applications selecting the only available option of class XI and there are chances of their applications getting rejected due to different eligibility criteria issues.

The Help Desk contact number given at the portal never responds except auto playing a welcoming message and immediately saying ‘bye’. With the extended last date for the online submission of scholarship applications ending on 30/09/16, all concerned are confused and worried a lot.

Another issue is the making of possession of Aadhaar Number or Aadhaar Enrolment Number mandatory for applying all types of scholarships. Disregarding a Supreme Court order, which limited linking the Aadhaar card to six government

accountable for the miseries, humiliation and tears. This was the situation created, which could have flared up with very serious consequences.

The comment was intolerable and unpardonable when the entire nation was grieving for our leader’s last journey such kind of words is beyond human tolerance. He deserves the most severe punishment even to the extent of facing a firing squad. Therefore the NSCN leaders immediately ordered for an arrest of the culprit and with the intelligent inputs of Naga Army and under the supervision of Thungbo Brigade Commander he was arrested on 06.07.2016 and taken to custody for thorough interrogation. On his confession and admittance of mistake committed and thus seeking forgiveness the NSCN/GPRN in respect of our leader late Chairman Isak Chishi Swu and in honoring his final letter to the Naga people to usher in peace and reconciliation, this irresponsible young man’s life was spared and released safely on 12.08.2016 by undertaking not to repeat such thoughtless act again.

The NSCN would like to appeal to all the social media users to be cautious of what one post so that irresponsible write ups may not create unwanted situation in the society.

United States and the European Union should make a supreme effort to reinvigorate the Arab Peace Initiative (API) and pressure both Israel and Hamas to embrace it. The Arab Peace Initiative remains the only practical framework for peace, as it contains common denominators between Israel and the Palestinians (including Hamas) that will facilitate successful peace negotiations.

Moreover, the API is the only framework that will lead to an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement in the context of a comprehensive Israeli-Arab peace, which the vast majority of Israelis and Palestinians are seeking in order to achieve long-term stability and progress.

Finally, the turmoil in the Middle East indeed offers an opportunity to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, particularly now that the Arab world is keener than ever before to make peace with Israel because of the common Iranian threat and the violent rivalry between Sunnis and Shiites over regional hegemony.

The United States and the EU (the only powers that can bring an end to the conflict) and certainly moderate Israelis must exploit this window of opportunity and put an end to the longest and most debilitating violent conflict in

modern times.

Russian President Putin’s invitation to Netanyahu and Abbas to visit Moscow (which they have accepted) means little and will produce even less. For Putin, the invitation offers an opportunity to exploit the vacuum resulting from US disengagement; for Netanyahu, it will (falsely) demonstrate that he is committed to peace; and for Abbas, he simply doesn’t want to be perceived as an obstacle.

Given that the United States was and remains the main player, neither Abbas nor Netanyahu can dismiss it. The new administration must support France’s initiative, which seeks to convene an international conference to resume peace negotiations, and change its previous approach in the search for a peace agreement based on a two-state solution.

There is no doubt that the US must play a more assertive role toward Israel, especially because the US is genuinely concerned about Israel’s national security. Providing Israel with $38 billion in military aid over a period of 10 years is unprecedented and only attests to the US’ commitment.

The next administration must stop enabling Israel to pursue policies which are to its detriment and insist that Israel genuinely engage in

T

he recent allegations and counter allegations arising out of some problem within the NNC/GDRN (N/A) should be stopped by all concern, as this is not the time for such situation. There is limitation for all in aspect. The concerned leaders should try to reconcile between each other and should work together for the cause of the nation.

There is constitutional obligation above all and there are many platforms to address the problems whatever may be but the recent action taken upon the president is not mandatory since such cases should be taken up only by the Tatar Hoho with the speaker in chair. There is no time frame for the post of top level much as president nor tenureship in our national movement but subject to consored by the national Tatar Hoho when compelled by the circumstances.

Therefore it is once again appeal to all concerned that everyone should seek ways and means to patch up all differences. And in case of further complications, undersigned would have no option but to approach the NNPGS under the MOU between the groups.

schemes(Public Distribution Scheme, L.P.G Distribution Scheme, Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employement Guarantee Scheme, the National Social Assistance Programme, Prime Minister’s Jan Dhan Yojana and Employees’ Provident Fund Organization), the University Grants Commission had made Aadhaar mandatory for disbursement of all government subsidies, scholarships and fellowships” for the financial year 2016-2017 and the same was followed by other Central Govt.

Scholarship awarding agencies. Recently UGC has clarified that students shall not be denied benefits due to non availability of Aadhaar No./ Card. But the other agencies who had followed UGC in making Aadhaar mandatory has not yet modified their rules in this regard. It is to be remembered that students could not register in the National Scholarship Portal without Aadhar Number or Aadhar Enrolment Number.

The Aadhaar Bill, which allows the government to ask any citizen for Aadhaar to avail of government subsidies or schemes, was recently passed by Parliament, but the Aadhaar Act, 2016, is yet to come into force.

And until that happens, the Supreme Court order reigns supreme. Last week a West Bengal-based educational and charitable trust challenged the constitutional validity of the need for Aadhaar card and applying online for the scholarships at the High Court of Delhi and the Court has issued notice to the Centre asking it to file a reply

by September 23. With litigations in this regard pending at the Delhi High Court and also at the Supreme Court of India, we are left with no option other than developing patience with the help of the available 2G networks.

the process of reconciliation, which Netanyahu and Abbas, who profess to seek a two-state solution, will be hard-pressed to reject.

In this regard, the EU is well-placed to push the peace process forward by focusing first on reconciliation and giving time to the new administration to join the French initiative, which is largely consistent with the US’ traditional position.

The new administration, jointly with the EU, must also make it abundantly clear that a two-state solution provides, more than any other security measure, the ultimate guarantee of Israel’s national security while allowing the Palestinians to live in dignity in an independent state.

After seventy years of continuing violent conflict, the time has come to end the hellish conditions that the Israelis and Palestinians have created for themselves before they are ultimately consumed by it. As Thomas Hobbes is purported to have said, “hell is truth seen too late.”

Reader’s Post

Raise voice against corruption: All talk no action Sir,

It is really heartening to note that our honourable governor, Mr. Acharya has publicly spoken against corruption that is prevalent in our society. He has described corruption as the “biggest disease in our society” (Nagaland Post dated Sep 14, 2016 “raise voices against corruption: Acharya).” After his assuming of the gubernatorial post, so many cases of corruption in Nagaland have been unearthed.

While we highly appreciate his vocal condemnation of well entrenched malpractices, the public is yet to see any enquiries made and actions taken whenever such cases are highlighted. There seems to be no follow up on the remedial part and no recommendations either, to prevent such corruption in future.

Also, Acharya should perhaps, consider touring the state by car to see the pathetic road conditions to experience and to be able to grasp the hardships faced by an ordinary traveller while travelling in the state.

It will also enable him to see the actual neglected conditions of government establishments and other government service delivery centres in the districts. They are all victims and will bear testimonies of years of corruptions. As the highest, nonpartisan custodian of the state, the governor is expected to put in some check and balances mechanisms in the system. Dear honourable governor, will you walk the talk, please? Please, lead us by setting examples.

NEW DELHI, Sep 16 (AGENCIES): P Chidambaram has been named the new head of the Parliament standing committee on home affairs, while Anand Sharma will chair the panel on personnel, grievances, law and justice in mid-term replacements that give charge of two critical oversight forums to senior members in Congress party .

Both panels were headed by Rajya Sabha members from Congress, but the choice of replacements in the form of experienced hands has triggered a buzz about a strategy in changed political circumstances.

While Chidambaram has been put in charge of the home affairs panel by removing Pradeep Bhattacharya, Sharma, the deputy leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha, replaced E M S Natchiappan who has retired from the Upper House.

According to par ty members, the decision indicates Congress is keen to put government policies and important developments

under scrutiny .

The internal security situation has flared up amid disturbances in J&K, besides assaults on Dalits and Muslims by gau rakshaks.

At the same time, the CBI, judicial appointments and the Union law ministry are crucial mandates overseen by the parliamentary panel.

They have come under fire from the opposition in recent weeks.

The changes were made during the annual reshuffle of panels.

Given that the lead opposition party is passing through its worst political crisis after the 2014 decimation, the strategists have been mulling steps to sharpen its edge in Parliament and oversight panels.

It was the same plan which saw the recent return of experienced hands and ace lawyers Chidambaram and Kapil Sibal to Rajya Sabha, besides the appointment of another legal brain in Vivek Tankha to the Upper House.

He further lauded Modi for his dynamic leadership by setting the right direction for India’s internal peace by having close ties with bordering inter national countries-- Myanmar, Bangladesh, China, Nepal and Bhutan.

He further said that the people pray that Almighty God grant long and healthy life and to continue to lead the Nation “to achieve peace, all round development and prosperity and take Bharat to the World stage”.

In his concluding message, Acharya said: “You have made India proud in the International Committee of Nations.

We are proud of your leadership”.

HC seeks Centre’s response on plea for electoral reforms

(From p-1) Yitachu called upon the teachers to impart quality education to students so they become employable. He also urged the students to acquire education so they could be able to give back to the society.

As the school prepares itself to march towards the next milestone, to attain 100 years in the next 25 years, the minister called upon all responsible to look forward with the focus of imparting true education.

Earlier, the minister upon his arrival unfurled the jubilee flag and inaugurated the e-library and science laboratory. The chief guest gave away jubilee citations and also released the jubilee souvenir.

Also, at the program, short speeches were delivered

by Dr. Kilemla, guest of honour and alumna and Mrs. Asano Sekhose, chairman NBSE. Former headmaster of the school, Kiremwati, also delivered a speech. The jubilee choir presented special songs. After the programme, there was jubilee feast and Alumni meet.

New Delhi, sept 16 (Agencies): Delhi High Court today sought the Centre’s reply on a plea seeking a slew of electoral reform measures, including setting aside of the six-year cap on the period of disqualification from contesting polls on being convicted and sentenced to two years or more.

A bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Sangita Dhingra Sehgal asked the Centre to file its response within four weeks and posted the matter for hearing on December 14.

The plea claimed that the restriction of six years on the period of disqualification of a legislator was ultra vires of the Constitution.

It sought that two sections of Representation of the People Act (RPA) be declared “void, as they restrict disqualification period

tutes of Technology (NITs) and central universities. I am conducting a review of all institutes and existing system (for faculty reservation), and government rules pertaining to reservation and related provisions under Constitution.”

Javadekar earlier visited IIM here to interact with faculty members and students.

Currently, there is no reservation for SCs, STs and OBCs in teaching jobs at IIMs, all set up by the government.

All IIMs are registered societies governed by their respective Board of Governors.

He said a Bill, which aims to provide IIMs more autonomy in their governance and allow them to offer degree courses, is currently at “proposal” stage.

“The IIM Bill will provide more autonomy to the IIMs, and allow them to offer degree courses, which they cannot do now because of their status as a society. We

will amend existing laws like we did for IITs and NITs to allow them to offer degree courses,” he said.

“The new Bill is at proposal stage. It will be taken up by different ministries which will offer their recommendations.

It will then go to the Cabinet, and then to Parliament,” the Minister said.

“What our government intends is to allow more autonomy to the IIMs and other higher educational institutes so that they grow on the basis of their quality,” he said.

Javadekar said the Modi government is working in the direction of “improving the quality of education.

“Our aim is to promote education and make it accessible to all. From KG to PG, 27 crore students are taking education. Our aim is to improve the quality of education.”

The government is in dialogue with stakeholders to frame an “effective (education) policy”, he said.

DMK members stage a rail blockade to protest against Tamil Nadu and Karnataka Cauvery dispute in railway station, Coimbatore on Friday. (PTI) Chennai/ Bengaluru, Sep 16 (IANS): The dawn-todusk shut down strike called in Tamil Nadu by various organisations representing farmers, traders, transporters and others evoked a good response and ended peacefully on Friday.

Meanwhile, a man who had set himself on fire on Tursday to protest Karnataka’s attitude to water-sharing succumbed to his injuries on Friday.

A majority of the shops, private schools, transport services like auto-rickshaws and private buses, and fuel outlets did not function in support of the shutdown, called to demand Cauvery river water and protest against attacks on Tamils and their property in Karnataka.

Several buses and trucks from Tamil Nadu were burnt to ashes by the hooligans in Karnataka over Supreme Court’s order to release Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu couple of days back. There were also incidents of Tamil

Nadu truck drivers humiliated and assaulted by the demonstrators in Karnataka.

Police took into custody leaders and cadres of DMK, MDMK and other parties who tried to stage demonstrations onrailway tracks and roads.

Across the state, police took into custody several thousands belonging different organisations.

Normally-crowded places like bus stands, commercial centres and roads wore a deserted look across the state even as a large number of policemen were deployed outside the stands, railway stations and other places.

While public transports, government offices, schools, colleges, banks and others carried on with their routine, a majority of shops remained closed across the state.

Many private schools also declared holiday while majority of auto-rickshaws, taxis and private buses remained off the roads.

However, essentials like milk delivery by the state government undertaking Aavin was not affected, though supplies by private dairies were affected.

Privately-owned fuel outlets remained shut but those owned by the oil marketing companies were functioning.

Barring the ruling AIADMK party that remained silent on the issue of shutdown, all other major political parties had extended their support.

The BJP, while supporting the strike cause, condemned those organisations that planned demonstrations outside the central government offices.

In Trichy, MDMK leader Vaiko was prevented by police from holding protest blocking

the rail traffic.

Karnataka: Amid tight security, pro-Kannada activists, farmers and traders continued peaceful protests on Friday in Bengaluru, Mandya and Mysuru against Karnataka releasing Cauvery river water to Tamil Nadu.

Defying prohibitory orders, about 100 members of the Kannada Okkuta (federation) staged a protest march from Town Hall to Mysore Bank circle and demonstrated at Freedom Park in Bengaluru urging the state government to stop releasing the river water to the neighbouring state.

Police, however, took the protesters, including federation president Vatal Nagaraj, Kannada Rakshane Vedike convener Praveen Shetty and Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce president Sa Ra Govindu into custody and whisked away from the venue. The prohibitory orders, imposed on September 12 after violence broke out in parts of the city and extended to September 25, prevent assembling of more than five persons in public places to maintain law and order and prevent any untoward incidents.

Air pollution claims a life in every 23 seconds in India

NEW DELHI, Sep 16 (AGENCIES): 1.4 million people in India die pre-maturely due to air pollution, which is one life lost every 23 seconds, says a report of the World Health Organisation.

Come 2030 and the fuels we use today would have made the air so toxic with pollutants that it would be close to impossible to live and move without oxygen kit as a permanent burden and part of lifestyle, says the report.

upto six years only and allow convicted person to contest Parliament and state assembly elections.”

The plea, filed by advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, has also suggested implementation of electoral reforms proposed by the Election Commission and Law Commission which also favour disqualifying a lawmaker even prior to his conviction, at the stage when charges are framed against him for offences which carry a punishment of imprisonment for five or more years.

Besides, it seeks directions to the government to set minimum educational qualifications and maximum age limit for contesting candidates. It suggests that political parties should have the responsibility to maintain proper accounts of their income and expenditure and

The petitioner has also said in his plea that “candidates violating provisions of the Act should be disqualified and political parties putting up such a candidate should be derecognised and deregistered”.

The other issues raised in the plea include, proliferation of non-serious parties, process of recognition and de-recognition of political parties, as well as disclosure of assets and liabilities of parties.

The lender is moving towards cash flow based financing instead of balance sheet based financing for SMEs. “To begin with, we are moving towards cash flow based financing instead of balance sheet financing, particularly, for loans up to Rs 50 crore to these enterprises,” he said.

In terms of corporate lending, the “demand for loans” has been much less.

“There are no major projects which consume huge capital. There are shifts in the sectors’ contribution to GDP. Services sector contributes more to GDP as compared to manufacturing. Thus, the composition of credits is also shifting,” he said.

On the merger of SBI associate banks with SBI, he said there would be no closure of branches but they would be re-allocated after merger.

NEW DELHI, Sep 16 (PTI): Gold prices fell by Rs 70 to trade at nearly two-week low of Rs 31,000 per ten grams at the bullion market on Friday, tracking a weak trend overseas amid slackened demand from jewellers at domestic spot market.

Silver also dropped by Rs 350 to Rs 45,100 per kg on reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers.

Traders said besides a weak trend overseas, easing demand from jewellers and retailers at domestic spot market led to decline in gold prices.

Chinese vice minister for finance Shi Yaobin said during India-China Financial Dialogue last month that Chinese investments in India amounted to US $4.07 billion till last year.

For its part the Indian government in coordination with the various state governments is also conducting campaigns to attract Chinese investments.

Kolkata, Sep 16 (IANS): Country’s largest lender State Bank of India (SBI) hopes to achieve a 12 per cent credit growth for financing Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the current fiscal, a bank official said on Friday.

“Last year, growth of credit of SMEs was flat and literally there was no growth.

This year, we have been optimistic with SME credits as order book and cash flow (of SMEs) are increasing. Credit growth to them is expected to be 10-12 per cent in the current fiscal,” said SBI’s Managing Director (National Banking Group) Rajnish Kumar.

He said the bank internally would like to achieve 1415 per cent SME credit growth but 12 per cent growth seemed to be most feasible.

In case of SME credits, he said the bank has been active with products such as loans against property, supply chain financing, etc.

The council was set up by China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) and will be based in China’s Hunan province.

CCPIT has approved the formation of the Council under its Hunan provincial unit for a period of two years.

Announcing formation of the council, He Jian, Chairman of Hunan Sub-Council of CCPIT in a communication to the media said “My first important job on arriving at my new post is to establish China India Business Council”.

The Council will be based in the office of the CCPIT in Changsha, provincial capital of the Hunan province, he said.

revenue will increase.

“The more healthy competition there is, the better it will be,” he said adding there is no need to get concerned over the low tariff structures.

“Telecom operators have been preparing for 4G” and if one “operator has come with full preparation, others will also follow suit,” he added.

Early this month, Reliance Jio announced free voice calls and free national roaming along with rock-bottom data prices on the new Reliance Jio network.

Sinha told the gathering at the Consulate that India’s telecom sector has implemented significant reforms over the last two years, since the Narendra Modi government took office.

Most significant among them will be the mega auction of spectrum in a transparent manner next month.

“Many reforms have been implemented in the telecom sector over the last two years.

Before the Modi government came into power, there was an environment of trust deficit in the country, particularly in the telecom sector.”

But now the sector has emerged from the atmosphere of trust deficit and domestic as well as foreign investors are keen to invest in the sector.

He said in the spectrum auction, which “will be completely transparent”, the government will put up for auction 2350 MH spectrum in seven bands.

either static or permanent,” he said.

Gross NPAs of the PSBs have surged from 5.43 per cent (Rs 2.67 lakh crore) in 2014-15 to 9.32 per cent (Rs 4.76 lakh crore) in 2015-16 of the total advances.

With regards to challenges in finding alternate investors for bad assets, Jaitley said: “I think one of the points which was emphasised was that in some cases it has to be done with a greater initiative and if necessary...the lead bankers with the support of the department of financial services would also do the coordination for that purpose (selling of NPA).”

Banks should also keep in their mind the larger interest of the economy while selling assets, he said, adding that asset sale should not stop or paralyse

New York, Sep 16 (PTI): With Reliance Jio launching aggressive 4G plans in India, Telecom Minister Manoj Sinha said the consumer has always benefitted whenever a tariff war has been unleashed in the country and dismissed concerns that such a pricing structure will impact the government’s revenue.

“If you look at the history of the telecom sector over the last 18-20 years, whenever a tariff war has been unleashed, it has benefited the consumer.

“I believe that consumer is the king and any government that works for the people will agree to this,” Sinha said.

He was responding to a question here on the tariff war unleashed by Reliance Jio, the telecom venture of Reliance Industries, which is offering free voice calls and data at low price.

Sinha, who addressed the Indian community at the Indian Consulate yesterday, said the telecom sector in India is competitive and if Reliance Jio will make voice calls available at cheap rates, other companies will have to compete to give better quality and rates.

“I feel this will be beneficial for the country,” he said.

Sinha, 55, sought to allay concerns expressed in some quarters that such a tariff structure will impact the government’s revenue.

He said statistics show that may be for the first 3-4 months the revenue will be less but ultimately the government

the running establishments because that may itself lead to waste of the investment and also result in job losses.

Jaitley said there are mechanisms for buying stressed assets and if there are companies within the country, whether public or private sector, which think it is right time to buy at right value, they obviously will make commercial judgement.

“And then, some banks themselves have been considering a stressed fund (asset reconstruction company). But, I think, one of the hopes that the banks have is that two major sectors (steel and infra) over the next few months will see a certain positive direction,” he said.

Obser ving that NPA situation is not either static or permanent, he said: “I think, the current phase which has been reached, at least tells us where the problem is, tells us the magnitude of the problem, it doesn’t put anything below the carpet.”

Therefore, Jaitley said, “it gets into a position of readiness to brace up for the challenge and I think the silver lining is the two principle sectors which are contributing to it, namely infra and steel -- proactive steps taken with regard to the sector do indicate that probably at some stage this problem could itself start seeing a reversal”.

New Delhi, Sep 16 (PTI): Describing the NPA situation of public sector banks as still challenging, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today said “greater initiative” is needed by them in cases where it is difficult to find buyers or “alternative promoters” for assets that have accumulated bad loans.

“One of the challenges which the banks did mention that they are facing...to find alternative promoters or buyers. They have been making efforts to do that,” he said after meeting the heads of PSU banks here.

The minister also expressed the hope that once situation improves, banks will be able to pass on full benefits of RBI’s rate cuts to the customers.

He further said that the Reserve Bank will take into the account the decline in retail inflation while deciding on interest rates at its policy review meeting on October 4.

Elaborating on the nonperforming assets (NPAs) of public sector banks (PSBs), Jaitley said both the government and RBI have taken several initiatives and legislative measures including enactment of the Bankruptcy law, changes in the Sarfaesi Act and DRT. “Therefore with these effective steps, the banks will now have to take the intivative...the NPA situation is certainly not

KSE Condemns Character Assasination of Naga Leader

The Kikon Shentsüta Ekhüng (KSE), the apex body of Lotha Naga Kikon Clan, unequivocally and vehemently condemns part-contents of the advertisement which appeared on August 26, 2016 in Page 4 of news daily Nagaland Post wherein the name and image of KSE member and Honorable Parliamentary Secretary for Labour and Employment, Skill Development, and Border Affairs Mmhonlumo Kikon was sought to be be tarnished by people of dubious characters.

The said advertisement, purportedly brought out by some individuals in the name of Lotha Lower Range Public Organization (LLRPO) without any names and signatures, alleged that a conspiracy was “hatched between Lotha Hoho and Mmhonlumo Kikon to annihilate LLRPO to ensure that PIL filed in the GHC Kohima Bench is not hampered; Lotha community and Nagas must understand the truth behind the scene and condemn the treacherous act for clean and peaceful co-existence.”

The unwarranted statements reproduced above issued by dubious people with vested interests without any evidence whatsoever is not only proof of ill-intention, but also a clear case of character assasination and tarnishing of image of a respected and honorable Naga leader.

The KSE, while condemning this present instance of the highest order of character assasination of a Naga leader, further demands that the persons concerned come forward and tender unconditional apology to both the Honorable Parliamentary Secretary and the KSE office failing which a defamation case may be filed against them and they should treat this as notice for such.

PoK ‘President’ Sardar Masood Khan and ‘Prime Minister’ Raja Farooq Haider were also present at the meeting.

“Pakistan will continue to extend moral, diplomatic and political support to Kashmiris,” Sharif said, alleging that atrocities in Kashmir had touched extremes.

“Oppression is destined to end, and truth will prevail,” he said in reference to the ongoing violence in Kashmir.

He said the Kashmiris’ demand for their right to selfdetermination was just, which had also been acknowledged by international community.

London, Sep 16 (PTI) :India has emerged as one of the world’s fastest growing Scotch whisky import markets with value up 28 per cent to 43 million pounds.

The Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) released the amount of Scotch whisky sold overseas increased for the first time since 2013, largely thanks to India for registering a massive jump in shipment value.

India has established itself as the third-biggest export market for Scotch at 41 million bottles, marking a 41 per cent increase in sales volumes, after France (90.9 million bottles) and the US (53.1 million bottles).

“The growth of exports to India stood out, with value up 28 per cent to 43 million pounds,” the SWA said.

The industry body also called on urgent action from the UK government to help realise the full potential of the Indian market.

“The full potential of the Indian market would only be delivered through liberalisation of the exorbitant 150 per cent basic customs duty. We urge the UK government to prioritise discussions with India as it develops its post-Brexit pirorities,” it added.

M a rg a r ita I s l a n d (Venezuela), Sep 16 (PTI): Pakistan has scuttled an India-sponsored proposal on setting up of a working group on counter-terrorism during the deliberations at the senior official-level 17th summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) here.

According to top government sources, as NAM diplomats strove to set up a working group on terrorism to coordinate their positions in international fora, Pakistani representative Tasneem Aslam alone spoke against it and opposed the consensus that had built around the proposal which had the support of a very large number of NAM delegations.

“Despite being isolated, Pakistan continued with its objections to stall the proposal emphasising that there could not be a consensus on terrorism,” the sources said.

The proposal by India, whose ministerial delegation is led by Minister of State for External Affairs M J Akbar, gathered a lot of steam following the minister’s strong pitch against terrorism at the ministerial segment.

Interestingly, there was no meeting so far between Akbar and Pakistan’s adviser to the prime minister on foreign affairs Sartaj Aziz who is also here for the conference.

migrant crisis and issues with the euro currency. But European leaders are divided, their voters sceptical.

Central and Eastern Europe want powers back from Brussels. Northern nations view the south as a eurozone liability. Mediterranean countries balk at German austerity edicts.

So on Friday they will stick to subjects they agree on and those they feel are relevant to voters’ concerns: migration, security and globalisation.

The hard stuff, such as a future trade deal with Britain and how to save the single currency, will be left for another day.

Mr Tusk called on EU leaders to assure citizens they had learned lessons from Brexit and were able to “bring back stability and a sense of security”.

The EU response to the influx of migrants is one of the thorniest issues among members.

Pak scuttles India-sponsored proposal on terror

French President Francois Hollande said: “Either we move in the direction of disintegration, of dilution, or we work together to inject new momentum, we relaunch the European project.” An official close to European Council President Donald Tusk said the first session of talks had been “honest” and “frank”. “But there were no attacks, so it was not about recriminating,” he added. “There are underlying tensions and problems where the EU is not delivering solutions... We hope that the Bratislava roadmap can set a new direction for the next six months.”

The one-day Bratislava meeting is to be the first of several confidence-building meetings, where a new EU “roadmap” should be worked out. They will culminate in a Rome summit in March, when the 60th anniversary of the EU’s founding Treaty of Rome will be celebrated.

Donald Tusk is hoping for a public show of unity among the 27 nations of the EU following Britain’s vote to leave in June.

Slovakia, Sep 16 (Agencies): The European Union is in a “critical situation”, the German chancellor has said, as leaders meet in Slovakia to discuss ways to regain trust after the UK’s vote to leave the bloc.

Angela Merkel said they needed to show they could improve on security, defence co-operation and the economy.

But EU countries are deeply divided over how to bolster growth and respond to the influx of migrants.

Meeting in Bratislava without the UK, they will not discuss Brexit talks.

“We need solutions for Europe and we are in a critical situation,” Mrs Merkel said as she arrived at the gathering.

“You can’t solve all Europe’s problems in one summit.

What we have to do is show in our deeds we can do things better in the realms of security and fighting terrorism, and in the field of defence.”

Even though the UK’s referendum result is not on the agenda, and British Prime Minister Theresa May is not attending the summit, there is little doubt that Brexit will overshadow the meeting.

Following the broadcast, Fallon has been roundly criticised for “selling his soul to the devil for ratings,” as one Twitter user put it. Another claimed that giving Trump airtime “humanises a monster”.

Trump’s election campaign has proved a controversial one to date. In June 2015, he accused Mexican immigrants of being rapists and promised to build a wall between the US and Mexico border to keep immigrants out.

Trump has also called for a ban on all Muslims entering the United States and claimed that Obama was the founder of ISIS.

apper Jay Z says the war on drugs has been an “epic fail” in a new animation.

The rapper’s teamed up with the artist Molly Crabapple to make the film, which traces the history of the socalled war.

In just under four minutes, he explains over four decades of American drug policy and incarceration.

The video could be signs of him getting increasingly political, after he recently spoke out against the killing of black men by police officers.

The film speeds up Molly Crabapple’s drawings, to whizz through the key points in history.

Jay Z says the war on drugs was started by President Nixon in 1971 and says that at the time the message was: “Drugs were bad, fried your brain.”

He also claims people ignored the failures of politicians for society’s problems.

Instead, “drug dealers were monsters - the sole reason neighbourhoods and major cities were failing”.

In the video for the New York Times, Jay Z says “rates of drug use are as high as they were when Nixon declared this so-called war in 1971.”

He also claims black and Latino people are disproportionately far more likely to be given sentences for drugs offences than others.

“Forty-five years later, it’s time to rethink our policies and laws. The war on drugs is an epic fail,” he says.

In the past, Jay Z has seemed reluctant to get involved in politics or social responsibility, saying his “presence is charity enough”.

FIFA president Infantino backs doping-tainted Russia, Mutko

ZURICH, Sep 16 (Agencies): FIFA president Gianni Infantino hit out on Friday at attempts to “undermine’’ the World Cup in Russia, saying he will not judge the country on the investigation which documented a state-sponsored doping program that included soccer.

Infantino told The Associated Press it is still “very good’’ working with Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko, who has been accused of personally intervening to cover up a doping case of at least one foreign footballer in the Russian Premier League.

The details emerged in a report authored by Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren, who was attending an ethics conference at FIFA HQ as Infantino conducted a 30-minute interview with the AP. McLaren’s report cast doubt on Russia’s suitability to host sporting events, with the International Olympic Committee temporarily withdraw-

ing its backing for competitions in the country. “It’s not my job to judge this report,’’ Infantino told the AP. “As president of football my concern has to be on football matters, has to be on doping in football. “If there are elements on doping and football, then FIFA’s bodies will deal with that.’’ There appears no risk of Russia losing the 2018 World Cup, with only nine months until the doping-tainted nation hosts the Confederations Cup, which serves as the warmup event. “We should see this as a chance rather than trying to be negative,’’ Infantino said. “We should see the World Cup in Russia as a chance for FIFA but also for Russia to show itself in a positive light as an organizer and a welcoming country. “Let’s work in a positive sense in this direction rather than trying to undermine this event.’’ McLaren also found that

11 positive doping cases of Russian footballers were made to disappear.

Mutko, as well as being sports minister, leads the country’s soccer federation, and sits on FIFA’s ruling council. He was banned by the IOC from attending the Rio de Janeiro Olympics last month based on McLaren’s findings, but he retains Infantino’s backing. “We have committees in place. Whatever evidence Prof. McLaren has, he will send it to the ethics committee of FIFA, and they will instruct or not a case,’’ Infantino said. “As long as this doesn’t happen I will certainly not participate in any speculation or any problems. “I am working with the people who are there, who are legitimately elected... he has been working in terms of the organization of the world as far as I can judge in an excellent way so far. So, for me and for us, it is certainly very good to continue working with him.’’

Man United suffer shock Europa defeat

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford fights for the ball with Feyenoord’s defender Eric Botteghin.

Rotterdam, Sep 16 (Agencies): Manchester United suffered their second defeat in five days as Feyenoord ran out 1-0 winners in the Europa League.

Jose Mourinho made eight changes to the team that were beaten 2-1 by Manchester City on Saturday, but he failed to get the desired response as Tonny Vilhena scored with 12 minutes remaining.

United failed to test Feyenoord goalkeeper Brad Jones

with any meaningful efforts, although Anthony Martial went close in the first-half with a sliced effort.

The result means Manchester United have now lost four European away games on the spin for the first time in their history.

Mourinho spoke in the build-up about how the Europa League may hamper his team’s Premier League ambitions this season, and he was true to his word by ringing the changes.

Paul Pogba, David de Gea and Eric Bailly were the only United players to keep their place from Saturday’s Manchester derby defeat.

Feyenoord, who are top of the Eredivisie after an unbeaten start to the league season, started with plenty of energy with Steven Berghuis testing De Gea from range on 12 minutes.

Marcus Rashford was handed his first start under Mourinho and linked the play well on 25 minutes to release

Narsingh’s dope case referred to CBI New Delhi, Sep 16 (PTI): The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) today said that the CBI has started its probe into the doping scandal of tainted wrestler Narsingh Yadav after the PMO referred his case to the investigation agency.

WFI president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and requested him to forward Narsingh’s case to the Central Bureau Investigation for further investigation. “Prime Minister’s Office has referred Narsingh’s case to CBI for further investigation and proceedings are learnt to have started into the wrestler’s doping scandal,” Brij Bhushan told PTI. Narsingh was imposed a four-year ban last month by the Court of Arbitration (CAS), which barred him from taking part at Olympic Games and also threatened to jeopardise his entire career.

Since then WFI had been demanding for a CBI probe.

Narsingh had tested posi-

We are keen to tap US market: Anurag WASHINGTON, Sep 16 (PTI): The sell-out crowd at the recently concluded two T20 International matches between India and West Indies in Florida has encouraged the BCCI to mull on a long-term plan of tapping the potential cricket market in the United States, said its president Anurag Thakur.

“We are coming out with a five-10 years program. I will be sending a team soon to the United States to look at the potential venues where we can have international matches,” Thakur said while speaking to reporters. Thakur is part of a delegation of Indian MPs, who are in the US to meet their American counterparts and administration officials.

“We are very serious about this (American) market.

Cricket fans, which are in large numbers in the United States, have been deprived of live matches in the past several years,” Thakur said in response to a question.

Referring to the recently held T20 matches between India and West Indies in Florida, Thakur said the experiment was very successful.

“It was decided just three weeks in advance. Anyone who visited the Fort Laurderdale matches, could see the atmosphere. It was very lively, thanks to the Indian cricket fans,” he added. “I think, if you could engage more countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, England and others, we have a large population in this area, but Indians have to play a very important role.”

Narsingh Yadav

tive for banned substance about 20 days ahead of the start of the Olympic Games and the wrestler had alleged conspiracy against him, saying that either his food or drinks were spiked.

But with Narsingh failing to produce any “real evidence” regarding the sabotage theory, the grappler from Maharashtra was debarred from representing India at the Rio Games in 74kg freestyle wrestling event. During the course of the Games, the CAS slapped a ban on him

for flunking a dope test following WADA’s challenge to the clean chit given to him by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) just three days ahead of his scheduled opening bout at the Olympics. However, during the hearing at Rio de Janeiro, (WADA) had said that if any decision was rendered at a later stage by a criminal court in India which confirmed the alleged sabotage, then any award made by the ad-hoc panel could be reviewed by the Supreme Court in Switzerland, where the CAS is based.

The verdict marked a painful end to the controversy which began with the wrestler failing a dope test taken on June 25 and July 5. Despite grabbing the Olympic quota by virtue of his World Championships bronze in Las Vegas last year, Narsingh’s road to Rio was fraught with obstacles after he was named to represent India ahead of double Olympicmedallist Sushil Kumar.

Matteo Darmain down the right flank. The Italian’s cross was met by Martial but he skewed a presentable chance wide from 15 yards.

Feyenoord centre-half Eric Botteghin was denying Rashford with some meaty challenges and the England international struggled to have an impact on the game.

Pogba cut a frustrated figure in midfield and showed his irritation with some snatched long shots just after half-time that Jones watched sail behind.

Karim El Ahmadi swept an effort wide of De Gea’s post on 56 minutes as both teams huffed and puffed but lacked the required quality in the final third.

Mourinho had seen enough by this point and made three changes, bringing on Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ashley Young and Memphis Depay but it had little impact on the game, although Ibrahimovic flicked a Young setpiece wide from close range on 76 minutes.

With the game seemingly petering out, the Dutch side countered with devastating effect to take the lead.

Despite looking offside, Nicolai Jorgensen broke down the right and crossed for Vilhena to slide the ball home from 12 yards for his second goal of the season.

Mourinho threw Chris Smalling up front to join Ibrahimovic in the closing stages, but it was desperate stuff, which the brilliant Botteghin and his defensive compatriots snuffed out with relative ease.

Davis Cup: Spain take 2-0 lead vs India New Delhi, Sep 16 (PTI): A gritty Ramkumar Ramanathan showed stomach for fight before Saketh Myneni had a taste of world class tennis as India trailed 0-2 after losing both the singles matches on the opening day of Davis Cup World Group Play-off tie against mighty Spain here today.

Ramkumar, despite his limitations against a muchsuperior rival, fought his heart out in a 4-6 4-6 6-3 1-6 defeat to world number 26 Feliciano Lopez in the first match.

Lopez played in place of originally nominated Rafael Nadal, who had a wrist injury problem. The whole build up to the tie was focused on Nadal as tennis fans hoped to see the 14-time Grand Slam champion in action.

While Ramkumar’s spirited response to the challenge kept the 4000-strong fans excited, Myneni was blown away by world number 13 David Ferrer, the 2013 French Open finalist.

A big serve, his biggest weapon, was nowhere to be seen as Myneni, who qualified for the US Open, melted in a 1-6 2-6 1–6 defeat against his Spanish rival.

Ferrer returned the ball like a machine, literally toying with the Indian, ranked 137, in the one-hour 27-minute match. As Myneni struggled to cope with a super-fit Ferrer, getting on board became a mountainous task for the Indian. He managed to take just four games in the match. He committed as many as 28 unforced errors to 11 of Ferrer.

The Spaniard won a total of 84 points to 46 of Myneni.

Spain’s Feliciano Lopez in action aganist India’s Ramkumar Ramanathan during the Davis Cup World Group Play off match , in New Delhi on Friday.(PTI) India need to win tomorrow’s doubles match to keep the tie alive against the five-time world champions Spain. It remains to be seen who Leander Paes plays with tomorrow. At the draw, Paes and Myneni were nominated to play against Feliciano and Marc Lopez, the reigning French Open champions.

If India win the doubles, 43-year-old Paes will become the most successful doubles player in Davis Cup history.

He is tied on 42 wins with Italian great Nicola Pietrangeli, who also holds the record

for most singles wins (78) in Davis Cup. Ramkumar, egged on by the capacity crowd, gave his all but it was not enough to worry his mighty opponent.

The packed stadium backed 203-ranked Ramkumar with the tunes of a band team and he certainly gave them a few moments to cheer and celebrate.

There was no doubt about the superiority of lefthanded Lopez as he controlled the proceedings with ease.

Ramkumar did try to fight it out but the Spaniard always had the match in his iron grip.

It was Feyenoord’s first win against an English opponent since a 1-0 victory against Newcastle in the 2002/03 Champions League.

Work to do for Mourinho in Manchester.

Southampton ease past Sparta Prague

Charlie Austin netted twice on his European debut, as Southampton beat Sparta Prague 3-0 in their Europa League Group K opener at St Mary’s.

The former QPR striker opened the scoring from the penalty spot after five minutes after referee Manuel Grafe had, rather harshly, blown up for a handball by Costa Nhamoinesu.

Austin held his nerve, after a brief tussle for the ball with team-mate Dusan Tadic, to sweep the spot-kick past Sparta Prague goalkeeper Tomas Koubek.

The 27-year-old netted his second against last season’s Europa League quarterfinalists on 27 minutes, with an inch-perfect angled header from the impressive Martina’s cross.

And substitute Jay Rodriguez wrapped up the scoring in injury-time with a sharp first-time finish from Shane Long’s cross from the left.

Claude Puel’s side next Europa League date is a meeting with Israeli side Hapoel Be’er Sheva, 2-0 conquerors of Inter Milan at the San Siro tonight, in the Turner Stadium on 29 September.

Sania ‘verbally’ sought intervention in Venus doping claim, says AITA New Delhi, Sep 16 (PTI): AITA on Friday said they were indeed approached by Sania Mirza’s family to pursue the WADA hacking issue, which revealed that several international athletes were allegedly allowed to take banned substance under TUE exemptions, but the tennis body did not receive a request in writing.

AITA Secretary General Hironmoy Chatterjee told PTI they have issued a press release, stating that they did not receive any communication

from anyone, to make it clear to the media that the request was not made in writing but only verbally. It was reported that Sania’s mother Naseema had approached AITA Life President and ITF Vice President Anil Khanna to take up the matter with IOA as papers leaked by Fancy Bears, a Russian hacker group, revealed that tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams were among a few athletes who were allowed to take banned substance under Therapeutic Use Exemptions.

Chatterjee said it was Sania’s father Imran who had approached them and not her mother. Asked specifically if the report that AITA was approached by the Mirza family, seeking IOA and IOC intervention in the matter, stands, Chatterjee replied, “Of course it stands.”

The Indian pair of Sania and Rohan Bopanna had lost to American team of Venus and Rajeev Ram in the semifinals of the mixed doubles event of the Rio Olympics Games.

WICB mulling legal action over ‘allegations of wrongdoing’

Centre to set up online talent scout portal

St. John’s, Sep 16 (IANS): The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) is contemplating legal action in the face of what it considered to be allegations of “wrongdoing and misappropriation of WICB funds by present members” by former board officials. Pointing to calls for a forensic audit of the WICB’s finances in a media report, the board said these were “without any basis in fact” and “completely false, and seriously damaging” to the board’s members and auditors, reports CMC. Further, WICB slammed the calls by former officials as an “emotional reaction” to its decision to snub a recent governance report, which had recommended the immediate dissolution of the board.

“The WICB notes that these allegations appear triggered not by fact or evidence,

but an emotional reaction to the WICB’s response to the report and other matters. These officials have completely ignored the written responses of the WICB,” the board said in a release on Thursday.

“The board has been advised that in a number of instances, the call for a forensic audit carries the suggestion of wrongdoing and misappropriation of WICB funds by present members of the WICB.” The release continued: “Additionally, it suggests the auditors are either incompetent or complicit. These allegations are completely false and seriously damaging to the reputation of the WICB, its members, and auditors.” “The WICB has, therefore, decided that these are serious allegations and has referred the matter to Senior Counsel Anthony Astaphan of Dominica for his advice

New Delhi, Sep 16 (IANS): Riding on half centuries from skipper Kane Williamson (50 not out) and opener Tom Latham (55), New Zealand declared their first innings at 324/7 as most of the other batsmen got decent starts on the opening day of the three-day practice game against Ranji Trophy champions Mumbai here on Friday.

I n r e p l y, M u m b a i reached 29/1 after batting for 13 overs when stumps were drawn for the day.

New Zealand’s main headache was again the form of swashbuckling opening batsman Martin Guptill, whose poor run with the willow continued after the visitors were sent in to bat on a grassy Ferozeshah Kotla wicket.

The 29-year-old seemed to be in a hurry after scoring a brisk 19-ball 15 with a four and a six before giving a simple catch to stumper Aditya Tare off pacer Balwinder Sandhu.

G u p t i l l ’s d e p a r t u r e brought in Williamson and Latham together as the rightleft combo stitched a 85-run stand for the second wicket, with both reaching their respective half centuries before Sandhu separated them with Williamson’s scalp.

While Latham’s 55 came off 97 deliveries, including 10 fours and a six, Williamson consumed just 56 balls with six hits to the fence and two over it.

After getting to his half century, Latham also retired making way for veteran Ross Taylor and Henry Nicholls to get some match practice.

Taylor looked his usual self hitting a 57-ball 41 with

and recommendations.” In its push back against the former officials, the WICB said on Thursday that audits had been conducted by independent companies Price Waterhouse and KPMG, and reports had been made available to the public.

“These calls for a forensic audit by the former officials are without any basis in fact, and importantly, notwithstanding that these former officials are aware that the WICB has for many years retained internal and external auditors,” the board argued.

“The board’s internal and external audits are done and authorised by Price Waterhouse and KPMG, respectively, and accounts are published by or available from the WICB on all its platforms, including the website, where the reports are available.”

Stumper Bradley Watling (21), Michael Santner (45), Mark Craig (33 not out) and Ish Sohi (29) then gained some valuable batting practice in the middle as the visitors declared their innings at 324/7 and allowed their bowlers to test the conditions towards the

fag end of the day.

Mumbai used as many as nine bowlers with Sandhu emerging the most successful with two wickets while Vishal Dabholkar, Gohil and Lad chipped in with one wicket apiece.

In reply, Mumbai got off to a poor start losing opener Jay Bista for a duck before Kaustubh Pawar (5 not out) and Armaan Jaffer (24 not out) saw the day off to reach 29/1 at stumps.
