Arunachal Gov’s sacking imminent; HM meets Pres NEW DELHI, SEP 7 (AGENCIES): Sacking of a defiant Arunachal Pradesh Governor Jyoti Prasad Rajkhowa seems imminent with union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, who met President Pranab Mukherjee on Wednesday, believed to have conveyed that his continuance in the post has become untenable. During the 20-minute meeting, the Home Minister is learnt to have told the President that the central government has lost confidence in Rajkhowa and the only way to remove him is to “withdraw the pleasure of the President”.

Rajnath’s meeting with the President came after Rajkhowa refused to step down despite a nudge by the Centre to put in his papers after the Supreme Court passed serious strictures against him over the dismissal of the Congress government last year. However, it is immediately not known what the President told the Home Minister.

Sources said Rajkhowa’s dismissal may come as early as next evening when the twoday special session of the Arunachal Pradesh Assembly, which has been convened to ratify the Goods and Services Tax (GST), gets over.

A defiant Rajkhowa had said he would not step down but was ready to be sacked. “I want the President to dismiss me. I will not resign. Let the President express his displeasure...” Rajkhowa said.

Upload FIRs online within 24 hrs: SC to states and UTs

NEW DELHI, SEP 7 (PTI): Supreme Court today directed all States and Union Territories to upload the FIRs on their websites within 24 hours of registration at police stations.

A bench comprising Justices Dipak Misra and C Nagappan, however, extended the time up to 72 hours for uploading of the FIRs for those states which are located in difficult terrains where internet connectivity is poor.

The apex court exempted the state police authorities from uploading the FIRs on sensitive cases pertaining to insurgency and sexual offences against women and children.

The bench also made it clear that the accused cannot take benefit before the courts of law of the fact that FIRs lodged against them have not been uploaded on the website.

Initially, it was suggested during the hearing that the states be allowed to upload FIRs on websites within 48 hours.

However, the court later fixed the time limit at 24 hours.

The direction came on a PIL filed by Youth Lawyers Association of India on the issue.

The PIL referred to a decision passed by the Delhi High Court in which the city police was directed to upload the FIRs on its website within 24 hours of being registered.

The apex court agreed to the directions of the HC with certain modifications.

This is it!

“No matter which party we vote to power, our condition only worsens.”

All party meet on J&K issue

SAYS No compromise on national sovereignty

Rajnath Singh chairing the All Party meeting in New Delhi on Wednesday. (PTI) NEW DELHI, SEP 7 (AGENCIES): The All Party Delegation (APD) that visited Jammu and Kashmir Wednesday pitched for dialogue with all stakeholders which the government reciprocated by saying it was prepared for discussions with all but made no reference to separatists Hurriyat Conference.

At the three-hour long meeting of the APD, which visited the state on September 4-5, demands were made for resumption of Indo-Pak dialogue, confidence building measures and a “dual track” approach for bringing peace in the restive Valley.

The meeting, chaired by Home Minister Rajnath Singh, who led the delegation, made it clear that there would be no compromise on national sovereignty. The political parties appealed to the people of the state

to shun the path of violence and resolve all issues through dialogue and discussion.

“The members of the delegation are of the opinion that there is no place for violence in a civilised society. There can be no compromise on issue of national sovereignty,” the resolution, read out by Minister of State in PMO Jitendra Singh, said. While the resolution requested the central and state governments to take steps for dialogue with all stake holders, Left Parties batted for resumption of Indo-Pak dialogue and announcement of confidence building measures like withdrawal of AFSPA from civilian areas.

Without making any reference to separatists including Hurriyat Conference, the APD statement asked the Central and state governments “to take steps for a dialogue with all

stake holders”. While some opposition leaders met Hurriyat Conference leaders lodged in various sub jails, hardliner Syed Ali Shah Geelani refused to meet them.

Asked whether separatists would also come under the purview of “stakeholders”, MoS in PMO said the Home Minister is open for dialogue with “all stake holders”.

To a similar question, Congress leader in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge said the separatist amalgamate is part of the “all stake holders”.

Yechury said there was no discussion on the performance of Mehbooba Mufti-led Jammu and Kashmir government but leader of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen leader Asaduddin Owaisi said personally he felt that the PDPBJP government has failed to handle the current situation,

which continued for too long, leading to “the present mess”.

“This is not the time to blame. This is the time to work unitedly for bringing peace in Kashmir,” Yechury said.

Yechury said government should follow up its Kashmir outreach initiative by taking concrete steps like former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who had declared a unilateral ceasefire and held talks with militant group Hizbul Mujahideen.

Expressing serious concern over the prevailing situation in the state, the APD statement said the members of the delegation were of the view that there is no place for violence in a civilised society.

“There can be no compromises on the issues of national sovereignty,” it added.

The meeting asked both the governments to take steps to ensure that education institutions, government offices and commercial establishment start functioning normally at the earliest.

They requested the government to take effective steps to ensure security for all citizens and provide medical treatment to citizens and security personnel injured in agitation.

Yechury and Owaisi said the Home Minister denied that there was a plan to curtail the security provided to separatist leaders.

Zeliang receives award for Environmental Devp

KOHIMA, SEP 7 (NPN): Minister of rural development and REPA, C.L John, on Wednesday stressed on the need to reform the educational system in the state by introducing Nagamese language into the curricula of schools, colleges and universities.

The minister asserted that Nagamese should be promoted as there would be “no nation without having common language”.

He said “ism” would continue among the Nagas as long as there was no common language. C.L. John said that even the Nagas in Myanmar have agreed to promote Nagamese language.

C.L John was speaking at the 37th fresher’s meet of Kohima Law College (KLC) at Red Cross Conference Hall, Kohima.

Congratulating the freshers, the minister said lawyers held a big responsibility in the society and advised them to be careful while arguing cases. He added misinterpretation or misjudgement would cost even human life and do more damage to the society.

John also urged the law students to be God fearing and to bring positive change in the society.

The minister reminded that in spite of all the judgments pronounced

in the courts, there was a final judgment for every individual by God. He said God’s judgement would be severe particularly for these who give false evidence.

Further, the minister encouraged the students to join Bar Associations in the neighbouring north east states as that would help them to grow bigger in the profession.

He urged law professionals to create legal awareness in the state as many were still unaware of their legal rights.

KLC principal, Visevonuo P. Pienyu, in her brief address, welcomed the freshers and emphasised on the need to create legal awareness among the citizens. She said ignorance of law cannot be excused but punishable.

She reminded that lawyer’s duty was to strive for the injustice as ‘we’ live in a world where justice was just a word.

KLCSU president, Laknyei Phom, in his presidential address, appealed to the state government to establish Government Law College in the state. He said students from poor economic background could also avail the opportunities to study law in the state if the government law college was set up.

The programme was chaired

by KLCSU vice president Hikavi H. Kinimi.

cooperation declaration

DIMAPUR, SEP 7 (NPN): Reacting to the noncooperation move by Aghunato public, NSCN (K) MIP in a press note stated that the “public did not just converged by itself and declared noncooperation to NSCN/GPRN for the latter’s attack on Indian occupational forces”.

MIP said some elements instead of focusing on the unresolved issue-- 70 years of Indo-NagaMyanmar political conflict and the sacrifices made by NSCN for sovereignty, took advantage of the public’s longing for peace and tranquility in the area and “manipulated the emotional situation and architectured the non-cooperation declaration”.

MIP said “security forces in an unprovoked attack gunned down one innocent civilian and injured another civilian at Aghunato Area last year in November 2 in which two NSCN workers were also killed”.

MIP said despite offensive combing operations continuing in the area, the architectures of non-cooperation seemed to have ignored the actual sustained provocative actions of the security forces responsible for NSCN’s retaliation.

It said over a dozen “NSCN workers were arrested, tortured, imprisoned and killed under Zunheboto district by security forces during the last 18 months”. However, MIP said NSCN had been maintaining maximum restraint and avoiding confrontation in the district to ensure public safety.

This, MIP said had emboldened the occupational forces to adopt more aggressive posture in the area.

Now, access driving licence on your mobile NEW DELHI, SEP 7 (PTI): Citizens will now be spared from the hassle of carrying physical driving licences and vehicle registration certificates (RCs), which can be accessed online or on their mobile phones using DigiLocker.

Launching the integration of DigiLocker with the Driving Licence and Vehicle Registration system of the ministry of road transport and highways today, Union minister Nitin Gadkari said citizens can use these as valid identification at airports too.

The digital driving licence and vehicle registration documents will be available on citizens’ cellphones via the DigiLocker mobile app and this will ensure authenticated on the spot verification by various law enforcement authorities like the traffic police.

“The system will not only eliminate corruption but is a mega step towards realising Prime Minister’s Digital India drive. The citizens can

use this at airports as valid identity document,” Road Transport and Highways Minister Gadkari said.

According to Gadkari, this move is vital for the transport sector where 19.5 crore vehicles are registered and there are 10 crore driving licences.

“If someone is stopped anywhere, he or she can show driving licence on mobile phone. This will benefit common masses and ensure a corruption free, transparent system devoid of red tapism.

Crores of people will benefit,” he said.

He said the proposed new motor vehicle legislation will have provisions for online driving licences.

The minister said the transport ministry is actively pursuing the digitisation of documents and this will help in enforcement of traffic laws and enhance citizen convenience.

He said DigiLocker integration with the ministry will

make available over 19 crore digital vehicle RCs and about 10 crore driving licences in citizens’ DigiLocker accounts and the digitally signed accounts will be at par with the physical certificates as per the IT Act, 2000.

IT and law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, who launched the system along with Gadkari, said there are 21 lakh registered users of DigiLocker.

“Technology is a big enabler. Digital India is designed to empower India and Indians,” Prasad said.

DigiLocker is a key initiative under Digital India and serves as a platform for issuance of documents and certificates in a digital way, thus eliminating the use of physical documents.

Citizens who sign up for the DigiLocker account get dedicated cloud storage space which can be used for storing key documents like voter ID, driving licences and vehicle registration certificates.

“The only fridge meant for preserving the vaccines and other medicines went out of order over four years back.

When we went seeking help, we saw that some rats were inside the fridge,” an agitated local resident said.

VIENTIANE, SEP 7 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi today met his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe after arriving here and discussed ways to strengthen strategic bilateral ties. “Discussing stronger ties with Japan...PM Narendra Modi meets Japan PM Shinzo Abe,� the Prime Minister’s Office tweeted as the almost 45 minutes-long bilateral talks began.

Modi will attend the 14th ASEAN India Summit and 11th East Asia summit tomorrow. He will also have bilaterals with leaders of Myanmar and South Korea. There could be more “pull aside� talks tomorrow with leaders, officials said.

This is Modi’s second meeting with Abe in less than six months. They had met on the sidelines of the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington in April.

Earlier, Japan’s Kyodo news agency reported that the two leaders are likely to discuss cooperation in the defence sector.

Japan’s maritime selfdefence force and the Indian and US navies conducted Malabar joint maritime security exercises in June and Japanese and Indian defence ministers agreed in July to repeat the joint drill next year.

The leaders are also expected to discuss investment and other economic cooperation, the report said.

PATNA, SEP 7 (AGENCIES): Bihar governor Ram Nath Kovind on Wednesday has given nod for the much-awaited Bihar excise and Prohibition Bill, 2016, which will pave way for the speedy implementation of the stringent law against the violators.

According to a press release issued from the Rajbhavan on Wednesday evening, the governor has given his nod after due consultation.

After unanimously passing the Bill in both the Houses of the state legislature in the recent concluded monsoon session, the government has sent to Rajbhavan for governor’s assent.

According to official sources, the government will soon issue a gazette notification after formal clearance from the cabinet. Under the law, all adult members of the family could be arrested if liquor was found stored in any household.

Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar has been repeatedly assuring that no innocent person will be harassed.

from the Central Water Commission.

As 11,000 cusecs is equivalent to 1 tmcft and 15,000 cusecs is 1.36 tmcft, the combined reservoirs’ live storage will decline to 33.2 tmcft after September 16 - from 46.8 tmcft on September 6 if 13.6 tmcft is released in 10 days.

A cusec, which is a measure of flow rate of water per second, is equivalent to a flow of 28.317 litres per second. “With the southwest monsoon retreating and prospects of more rains in the catchment areas of the reservoirs being bleak, the quantum of water (33.2 tmcft) will be barely sufficient for drinking water supply to Bengaluru, Mandya and Mysuru and very little for irrigation of agricultural fields,� admitted Siddaramaiah.

As per the tribunal’s final award, Karnataka has to release 192 tmcft of water to Tamil Nadu during a normal year, when the southwest monsoon rainfall is above normal. “Due to weak rainfall in the catchment areas in the river basin, the four reservoirs have received 114.66 tmcft of water up to August 31 as against a normal flow of 215.7 tmcft, resulting in a deficit of 47.27 per cent,� said Siddaramaiah.

Though the tribunal has provided for sharing of distress without giving the operational method or formula, the state released 33 tmcft of water till August on the basis of proportionality as specified by the tribunal. “Ignoring the distress conditions, Tamil Nadu has sought 50 tmcft at the Central Water Commission gauge station at Biligundlu, which is applicable in a normal year and not in a distress year,� a water resources department official told IANS.

Though the apex court on Monday directed the state to release 15,000 cusecs of water daily for 10 days to Tamil Nadu, 10,000 cusecs was let out from the Krishna Raja Sagar (KRS) reservoir as 5,000 cusecs is expected to flow to Biligundlu, the measuring point at the interstate border, by natural course

PUNE, SEP 7 (IANS): In a major development in the murder case of rationalist Narendra Dabholkar three years ago, the CBI on Wednesday named a right-wing medico as the alleged prime conspirator.

The CBI has claimed that the chief conspirator as ENT specialist Virendra Tawde - of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti and also linked with the Sanatan Sanstha. He was arrested on June 10 and is now in judicial custody.

It has also identified Vinay Pawar and Sarang Akolkar - both absconders - as Dabholkar’s killers in a 40-page chargesheet filed before a Pune court on Wednesday. “The motive for the murder of Dabholkar was allegedly the long enmity/hatred that existed between the two private organizations headed by Dabholkar in Satara and Tawde in Kolhapur,� the CBI said.

Dabholkar, a renowned rationalist and founder of the Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmoolan Samiti (MANS), was shot dead on August 20, 2013 while on a morning walk in Pune.

Special package to Andhra likely in a day or two NEW DELHI/VIJAYAWADA, SEP 7 (IANS): The Centre is expected to announce a special package for Andhra Pradesh in a day or two as hectic consultations were on in the national capital on Wednesday.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitely told reporters that they had not reached to a conclusion on making the announcement on Wednesday.

He said the special package would have all the benefits which a state gets under special category status.

Union Minister of State for Science and Technology Y.S. Chowdary met Jaitely in the evening for another round of talks on the commitments made to the state at the time of its bifurcation.

Jaitely assured him that efforts would be made to make the fund allocation at par with the special category status.

I t wa s n o t c l e a r i f Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu would agree to the special package being offered by the Centre instead of special category status.

Naidu went into a huddle with some of his cabinet colleagues and party leaders in Vijayawada to discuss the proposed package.

Though the Centre is keen to announce the special package in the presence of Chandrababu Naidu and reportedly invited him to the national capital, the latter has not made up his mind.

Dis-connectivity

s commented on numerous occasions in this column, the need for improved connectivity by rail and air to and from Dimapur remains largely unfulfilled because of various reasons and chief among which has been a casual approach. The recent statement issued by the Aoyimti Village Council over the issue of providing land for extension of the Dimapur airport at approved rate of compensation again brings to focus the vested interest groups at play. It is yet to be confirmed, but the village council’s claim (or allegation) that the project got stalled because of the highly questionable decision made by the committee on November 28,2009 in rejecting the rate of Rs.450 per square feet that was proposed by the authorities and accepted by the landowners. The AVC further claimed, that when the Deputy Commissioner Dimapur had invited the villagers for a meeting to initiate process for land acquisition and other aspects, the council insisted that the November 28,2009 decision be revoked.

When the DC agreed to look into the matter, he directed that the meeting minutes of the SLAA be endorsed to all members. However, according to the AVC, the meeting minutes were untraceable in the office. Thus, there were two issues that had literally sabotaged the airport extension projectthe controversial decision vide letter dated November 28,2009 issued by the Airports Authority of India(AAI) and chief secretary in presence of the chief minister and the parliamentary secretary in-charge tourism and transport. The question that comes to mind, is why did the committee(SLAA) which proposed Rs.450 per square feet make a U-turn on November 28,2009 to come to a decision, that the rate (Rs.450) was too exorbitant?

Further, the AVC claimed that they were not given any opportunity to be heard when the committee made the decision. If the allegation made by the AVC is true, then it is indeed very unfortunate that the committee in presence of the chief minister and parliamentary secretary tourism and transport dealt a severe blow against the interest of the public of Nagaland. Dimapur airport is among the oldest in the region and once had a high volume of passengers. Due to step-motherly treatment by the erstwhile Indian Airlines Regional Office Calcutta(now Kolkata), Dimapur airport began to suffer from decreased flights which at one time was reduced from six a week to only thrice a week.

The issue of not giving land for development in Nagaland is also an old problem which has to be deliberated. Most of the tribal lands except Dimapur cadastral area are deemed to belong to respective tribes and ownership of land and resources protected by Article 371(A). However, the interpretation or otherwise of Article 371(A), has been used in a negative way and it is time that the government send a strong signal that this clause cannot be misinterpreted in a subjective manner to block all development works which are meant to benefit all the people. The expansion of Dimapur airport should be taken as crucial for economic development and it is time that the state government identifies certain priorities. The state has missed many opportunities in the past due to the short sightedness of its leaders.

DailyDevotion Fountains of Blessings The water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.

—John 4:14 The picture our Lord described here is not that of a simple stream of water, but an overflowing fountain. Continue to “be filled” (Ephesians5:18) and the sweetness of your vital relationship to Jesus will flow as generously out of you as it has been given to you. If you find that His life is not springing up as it should, you are to blame— something is obstructing the flow. Was Jesus saying to stay focused on the Source so that you may be blessed personally? No, you are to focus on the Source so that out of you “will flow rivers of living water”— irrepressible life (John 7:38).

We are to be fountains through which Jesus can flow as “rivers of living water” in blessing to everyone. Yet some of us are like the Dead Sea, always receiving but never giving, because our relationship is not right with the Lord Jesus. As surely as we receive blessings from Him, He will pour out blessings through us. But whenever the blessings are not being poured out in the same measure they are received, there is a defect in our relationship with Him. Is there anything between you and Jesus Christ? Is there anything hindering your faith in Him? If not, then Jesus says that out of you “will flow rivers of living water.” It is not a blessing that you pass on, or an experience that you share with others, but a river that continually flows through you. Stay at the Source, closely guarding your faith in Jesus Christ and your relationship to Him, and there will be a steady flow into the lives of others with no dryness or deadness whatsoever.

Is it excessive to say that rivers will flow out of one individual believer? Do you look at yourself and say, “But I don’t see the rivers”? Through the history of God’s work you will usually find that He has started with the obscure, the unknown, the ignored, but those who have been steadfastly true to Jesus Christ.

ome Minister Rajnath Singh has met around 300 people at Srinagar.

Pakistan, too, has offered to have talks on Kashmir. Both steps, however laudable, are late by two to three years.

The Kashmiris then wanted a settlement through a dialogue.

Leaders like Yasin Malik and Shabbir Shah did take part in the conclaves held at Srinagar and New Delhi.The topic at that time was to make New Delhi realize that the state had acceded to the Union of India only three subjects: Defence, Foreign Affairs and Communications. But overzealous Jagmohan and governors like N.N. Vohra and his predecessors spread themselves all over.

They did not keep in mind that accession was limited to only three subjects.

The Kashmiri leaders were unhappy but felt helpless.

To call them fundamentalists or anti-India will not be fair.

True, they want Srinagar to be like Washington or London and they do no links with Islamabad. They argue that their foreign policy will be decided by the elected members of the State assembly and not dictated

by New Delhi or, for that matter, Islamabad. I told them that I believed their demand was understandable but how could India create another Islamic country on its border when it already has a bad experience of having one Islamic state, Pakistan.

Urra Uvie: The Nagas’ Legal Rights Versus the British Claims (Part I)

efore the year 1832, the Nagas were never disturbed by any foreign power, except the Thai invasion in 1228. It appeared that they crossed the Naga territory to enter Assam. While the Ahoms, the descendants of the ethnic Thai people, settled in most part of present-day Assam, portions of it had always belonged to the Naga people. This fact is undeniable: the existence of the Naga traditional boundary within Assam can be materially supported, in addition to the fact that there was the payment of a Naga Khat money to the Naga chiefs until 1962 by the Assam Government.

When the British first appeared and intruded into the Naga homeland in 1832, it was, first of all, because they felt the need to open up a direct passage of communication between Assam and Manipur. According to Alexander Mackenzie, a British administrator and historian, majority of their expeditions were designed to bring their officers safely in and out of the Angami country. In other words, their primary intent did not seem to be one of conquering the Naga people or annexing their lands.

The second reason of their entry into Naga-land was to persuade the Naga chiefs and their tribes to stop the periodic raids and plunders on the British subjects in Assam. With this in mind, the British government directed E.R. Crange, the Sub-Commissioner at Nagaon, to make survey. But since he could not successfully stop the raids, the British government sent its Military expeditions to the southern part of the Naga Hills from 1839-1850 with a goal of establishing their control over certain Naga areas.

As a result, there were intermittent warfare between the British and the Naga people, which lasted for 48 years.

Wherever the British conducted their expeditions and made uninvited explorations into the Naga areas, they were met with strong resistance. In 1847, for ex-

ample, Dr. Brown carried out an extensive tour of exploration in the Rengma area, which resulted in a battle between the Rengmas and the British troops. As for the Lothas, they were brought under the control of the British fairly easily, but not without the death of Captain Butler and some British subjects between 1841 and 1878.

Among the many Naga battles with the British, perhaps the one that occurred in the eastern Angami area (now renamed as Chakhesang area) stands out as a glaring example. The Kikrüma people challenged the British army to a fight when the latter entered into their territory on February 8, 1851. Not to be cowed down, the British army led by Captain Vincent accepted the challenge and both the parties fought valiantly with each other into the latter part of March.

Because of the warlike situation all over the Angami-inhabited areas at that time, the British were unable to set up even a single outpost in the heart of the Angami territory from 1832 to 1879 (Sir Robert Reid).

Of course, there is no denying the fact that the Naga villages in the western Nagaland were brought under the administrative control of the British, with its headquarter in Kohima. But strictly speaking, even the Angami territory had never been really conquered by the British, let alone other Naga-inhabited areas of present-day Nagaland.

Only the Nagas’ periodic raids on the British subjects in the plains were stopped and certain villages were forced to surrender. But as a people, the Nagas had never surrendered, whether officially or unofficially, to the British people at any point in history. The sovereign republic system of every Naga village, which was somewhat like the city-states of ancient Greece, made that impossible. Put it another way, there was never an en masse surrender or a written record of it to prove otherwise. Although our Naga country was not a nation in the sense the Europeans would

understand nation-state, the Nagas continued to govern themselves according to their own customary laws, and every village continued to remain free and independent as in ancient times.

Knowing the wild nature of the Nagas very well, the British also chose to adopt a Non-Interference Policy in the Naga Hills from February 20, 1852 to 1865. Regarding this issue, Lord Dalhousie, Governor General, stated: “This policy was entirely discussed … to take their hills and establish our sovereignty over the savage inhabitants, but possession could bring no profit to us and would be as costly as it would be unproductive.” The British government, therefore, ordered for the withdrawal of their troops from the Naga Hills on political and economic reasons.

It was only after 1865 when the Naga hostilities intensified that the British became more militarily aggressive again. To be fair, the unabated Naga raids on British subjects in Assam might have caused the British government to come up with a new policy at this time, since they seemed clearly intent to subdue the Naga Hills by establishing a new administration zone in 1866 at Chumukedima, with John Gregory as the Deputy Commissioner. In other words, sometime between 1866 and 1918, the Colonial Power seemed to have adopted a policy of dividing the western half of the Naga homeland, just as they did to the eastern half as evident in the Treaty of Yandabo, which was signed between the British and the Burmese on February 24, 1862.

But the fact that the British started to arbitrarily draw demarcations, or boundary lines by setting up wooden or stone pillars on mounds of soil, within our contiguous homeland without our consent as land-owners speaks loudly of their deceptive mind and illegal action. Yet, they would justify their actions saying that they were only doing these demarcations for the purpose of their own “administra-

I

n my colony there is a man who is well-qualified in every sense. He is sincere and honest, humble and hardworking. He is benevolent and compassionate, intelligent and talented with great innovative ideas and has a mass following not only in my colony but from all over the town because they see in him the right leadership quality. But if my Ward is taken away by the coming 33% of Women’s Reservation he cannot contest the municipal elections.

Whose loss will it be at the end of the day! Think it over.

I can also foresee some uneasy consequences in the near future. For example, Mr T R Zeliang is a popular public leader and his supporters wants him to get re-elected again by any means. But if Peren Constituency is allotted next time to 33% Women’s Reservation what would they do. Will he contest next from Aboi or Meluri or from somewhere else? I am sure he wouldn’t like it one bit.

Yes, women have come up brilliantly and are at par with men in every which way. Be it civil administration, education, medicine, science and technology and even in security forces.

these are very encouraging signs. Given a chance, I am sure they will be equally capable and may even outdo men in certain areas in bringing changes and new developments with more innovative ideas and even cutting down the cancer of corruptions.

For this they deserve to be i the law-making bodies. The only problem is how to get them into it through a right channel without deprivation of men’s democratic rights.

Earlier MLAs from Tuensang and Mon were simply nominated and not elected but they were also conferred the same powers as the rest of the elected MLAs. Is there any chance the state Assembly can work out and formulate a channel so that the womenfolk could enter enter the legislature/ municipality legally without the ‘hassle’ (to put it lightly) of an election so that men will also not be deprived of their rights and opportunity?

Another problem; the power of increasing and reducing the assembly seat is not vested with the state. As a layman I can give no solution under the prevailing situation.

However, what I fail to understand is their (women’s) self-contradictory demands. In the first place, they want that men and women should be in

equal terms (which is what it is now).Yet, they insist to be recognized as inferiors by 33%.

Is it not a backward step? If you (women) really want to be at par with men why not avail this 100% opportunity which is open to all of us. In schools, in universities and in competitive exams you are doing equally and more often better than men without availing a 33% extra advantage.

Think it over again.

Which means that there is no reason why you can’t do better than the menfolk at the hustings. Elsewhere they are doing it. Are you any different from them? Don’t say you are inferior again! You still have the 100% right to join the fray.

That is what democracy is all about, - equal opportunity (to prove unequal talents).

In the days of yore, the emergence of Naga women leaders were seldom and very rare due to its prevailing traditions and customary restrictions though the laws were never totally rigid. but today we are living in a completely new civilization. Global village and gender equality will remove all other related issues. Time is ripe. Take the plunge before your personal robot take your place.

tive convenience,” when in reality they seemed to be operating with a hidden intent to claim our land as part of their extended territory.

Obviously, the Nagas had never given up the ownership right of their homeland to the British.

That this was true can be illustrated from a real incident. When a British officer once asked Lhurükhrie of Dapfütsuma Khel as to how big the land of the Kewhima people was, he pointed to the west, the north, and the east. Next, pointing to a thickly forested area on the southwest, adjoining Puliebadze, he said as if that was a “no man’s land” (in Angami language, “Terhuomiara, tekhu-thengoba,” meaning, ghosts’ territory, habitat of tigers and monkeys). So, it was as if the British could have that “no man’s land” for themselves if they wanted to. Thus, both the Nagas and the British had no doubt as to who was the real owner of the land.

Now then, let’s ask ourselves some unresolved questions: On what basis could the British government claim that the Naga homeland legally became theirs, which they could give away to anyone they wanted? Or, why have the political and bureaucratic class of the Nagas failed to raise any voice against the arbitrary and illegal actions of the British government till today? If we Nagas have known for a fact that our land has always been ours, why do we stop short of asserting our rights through a proper legal channel? Why do we continue to remain quiet as if we have even lost all our rights to fight in the International Court of Justice and therefore we must learn to accept the arbitrary drawing of demarcations of our homeland by foreigners?

Even if the British government cannot undo her mistakes, a legal victory at the highest level will affirm the fact that the rights of the Nagas had been infringed upon and left unresolved.

earn money from visitors of different lands. They would not have a standing army, the upkeep of which costs a huge amount. They would still have the problem of finding a market for their men and material but they are oblivious to this fact at present. New Delhi is quite right in demanding a discussion on terrorism before discussing Kashmir. The dialogue which Pakistan has offered can start with terrorism and also embrace Kashmir because they are the two sides of the same coin.

The army which calls the shot in Pakistan may have its own agenda but cannot be opposed to a dialogue for normalizing the border bristling with armies of the two countries. India should sort out the problem in Kashmir first before sitting with Pakistan.

This can be done by accepting what Sheikh Abdullah, friend of Jawaharlal Nehru, demands. The Sheikh said that India should withdraw all laws that went beyond the scope of the three subjects originally acceded to the Union of India.

NSSE II Exam and backward quota

T

he ongoing tussle between various tribal student unions with regard to NSSE II exam for MBBS, Engineering and others courses is a matter of serious concern and may lead to unprecedented divide within the Naga family if not tackled firmly and at the earliest.

While students in other states are busy with admission in their respective allotted institutions, selected/aspiring medical and technical students in Nagaland are still uncertain of the fate and seat allocations, causing heartburns and tensions both for parents and students alike.

At this critical juncture the lackadaisical attitude and response of the State government to the serious issue is jeopardizing the career of hundreds of students. I would also like to share my opinion with regard to reservation of seats for backward tribes (BTs) in technical courses. It has been observed that some so-called backward tribes are availing the backward quota seats as well as encroaching on the seats of other tribes through merit basis. This is depriving majority of the other Naga tribes who do not enjoy ‘reservation within reservation’. The state government should make the backward quota reservation policy clear so that no student enjoys double benefit at the cost of thousands of other students. It is also ridiculous to insist on BTs reservation even if the students failed to score minimum marks in the all India level exams for technical courses.

Is it justice that those students who qualified through sheer hard work should sacrifice their seats for the sake of backward quota?

I would also request the Angami Students’ Union and other student unions to make a comparative study of the population of each Naga tribe and number of state government employees of that particular tribe as against the total population of all Naga tribes and total number of state government employees. If for any backward tribe, the population vis a vis government employees is more or less uniform with other tribes, then the backward tag should be removed.

We as concerned parents will not remain mute spectators to the ugly drama being enacted time and again in the name of BT reservation or quota. We are ready to go to court for the sake of justice of our children. The line should be drawn – only BT quota or open competition for all. No more BT quota plus merit quota.

Lastly, the verification process being conducted by NSF is pointless and should be stopped as the latter has so far not taken any initiative to address the genuine grievances of the student community at large.

Appeal to chief minister/chairman SLAA (Request for enhancement of rent for hired land at Zakham/Kigwema under occupation of army.)

Sir,

With utmost respect to your esteem office, the below mentioned land owners of Zakhama/ Kigwema military camp land owners would like to draw your kind attention, that the present located army camp area measuring 527.091 acres was forcibly requisitioned despite refusal by the villagers to give away their prime land for army occupation, vide deputy commissioner, Kohima notice. NO. REQ/Z/50/64/32277, dated April 1965. In this regard, it is to be mentioned that in due course of time Rs 60/- per acre per annum was agreed to be paid to the affected land owners on the basis to review the existing land rate and extension of lease agreement after every five years. The government of Nagaland recommended to the ministry and the land rent was enhanced from Rs. 60/- to Rs. 200/- per acre per annum with effect from September 1989, thereafter the land rent was not revised till date for more than twenty five years despite repeated request/proposed by the affected land owners which is against as per the existing procedures/ rules for hired land rent to be revised at every intervals of five years.

Therefore, the chief minister (chairman of SLAA) is requested to look into the matter at the earliest, thus prevent the possible confrontation between the military authority and the villagers.

Landowners, Khomeze Jacob, Beto Sale and Leso Phira

New Delhi, Sep 7 (PTI): Attaching highest priority to the health of public sector banks, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Tuesday said India is not ready for their privatisation and the present characteristics of PSU banks will continue except for IDBI Bank.

“We are trying to consolidate some of the banks, which may otherwise find it difficult in a competitive environment...

In one case we are thinking of reducing the government stake to 49 percent in IDBI Bank,” the minister said here at the Economist India Summit.

Jaitley added that in a consolidated manner they would probably continue to be in the present state.

“But I think India still realises that there has been a very important role that some of these banks have performed,” he said. Asked why privatisation in financial space is not taking place, he said, “In order to reach a particular level of reform you have to evolve into that stage of public opinion... In funding large part of social sector in India, public sector banks, despite competition had a far larger contribution.”

According to Jaitley, the public or political opinion is still to converge to a point where one can start thinking in terms of any form of privatisation in the sector.

spending.

“There may be some increase in expenditure because of the payment of arrears, but you will have to see how much is the income. Then you can determine. It would also depend on other spending that takes place. During July, August, September because of rains there is some slowdown in expenditure,” he said.

The fiscal deficit, which is the gap between expenditure and revenue for the entire fiscal, has touched 73 percent of Budget estimates at the end of July. For full 2016-17 fiscal, fiscal deficit is targeted at Rs 5.33 lakh crore or 3.5 percent of GDP. Lavasa said the fiscal situation on the whole is showing improvement compared to last financial year.

“If you look at the revenue receipts, they are showing good bouyancy. So compared to last year, the gross revenue receipts have gone up from Rs 2.15 lakh crore to Rs 2.63 lakh crore that is an increase of Rs 48,000 crore,” he said.

Tax revenues have already touched 21 percent of budget estimates, compared to 16.7 percent last year. “Nontax revenues, yes (there is lag) as we had some spectrum user charges last year during first quarter. On the whole, situation is better than last year,” Lavasa said.

New Delhi, Sep 7 (PTI): Gold price zoomed to Rs 31,550 per 10 grams -- a 30month high -- by soaring Rs 450 Wednesday, tracking a solid trend overseas amid increased buying by jewellers to meet rising demand at the domestic spot market.

Silver weekly-based delivery went past the Rs 47,000mark by jumping Rs 1,016 to Rs 47,425 per kg on speculative buying while silver ready rallied

by Rs 750 to Rs 46,950 per kg.

Traders said sentiment perked up after gold built on its biggest daily increase since June and traded near the highest in almost three weeks as the dollar weakened amid diminishing chances of a US interest rate rise in September, boosting demand for safe haven assets.

Globally, gold rose 0.2 percent to USD 1,352.16 an ounce in Singapore today after surging 1.7 percent yesterday.

Besides, persistent buying by jewellers following pick-up in demand for ornaments at the domestic spot market propped up the upside, they said.

In the national capital, gold of 99.9 percent and 99.5 percent purity soared Rs 450 each to Rs 31,550 and Rs 31,400 per 10 grams, respectively, a level last seen on February 26, 2014, when it had stood at Rs 31,500. The precious metal had gained Rs 150 in the previous four days.

The Rs 56,000 crore payout last month for wage arrears to government employees will not upset the fiscal deficit numbers for the April-August period of the current financial year as plan expenditure will shrink during monsoon, Finance Secretary Ashok Lavasa said Wednesday.

The government had in July announced that it will pay its employees arrears arising out of implementation of the 7th Pay Commission award at one go in August salary.

“Rs 84,000 crore is the liability of 14 months. The bill of Pay Commission recommendations is Rs 7,000 (crore) per month including arrears,” Lavasa told PTI. A Rs 7,000 crore per month outgo towards Pay Commission would translate to Rs 56,000 crore for January-August period.

The government has notified a 2.57-time hike in basic salary for 1 crore government employees and pensioners as per the 7th Pay Commission recommendations. The pay hike has been made effective January 1, 2016.

Asked if the higher onetime outgo on account of arrears would lead to sudden spurt in fiscal deficit, which has already touched 73 per cent of Budget Estimated in April-July, Lavasa said it

The railways pointed out that flexi fare will be displayed to the passenger during the booking in case the fare of lower class becomes more than that of higher class to give more travel options.

“The last price for every class of tickets for the particular train should be printed in the reservation chart for the purpose of charging of difference of fare in the train or charging the passengers of the train without ticket etc.,” the release said.

The railways said that the present limit of berths set aside for “Tatkal” quota in these trains shall be operated as per the existing guidelines.

“No additional charges as “Tatkal charges” will be levied,” it said.

New Delhi, Sep 7 (IANS): Indian Railways on Wednesday said that it will introduce flexi fare pricing in its Rajdhani, Duranto and Shatabdi trains from September 9.

Arundhati Bhattacharya will have a network of more than 24,000 branches, will continue to have the same number of branches. The idea is to leverage the synergies, she added.

“Not only the productivity can improve, with the same number of people, we can also ensure better footprints. We can move apart branches, send out sales teams. The customer will also have access to a lot of cuttingedge products,” she said.

The country’s largest lender is looking to add $120 billion (Rs 8 lakh crore) in assets after the merger of State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur, State bank of Travancore, State Bank of Patiala, State Bank of Hyderabad and State Bank of Maharashtra, besides the Bharatiya Mahila Bank.

This will catapult SBI into the top 50 banks globally, Bhattacharya said, expecting the process to get completed by March 2017. “There are some timelines and processes to follow. We’ll make a good effort that it gets completed by March 2017. As of now, it is a realistic enough deadline.”

The bank is already a ‘Fortune 500’ company.

As an outcome of the merger, the size of NPAs (nonperforming assets) will obviously swell up, she said, adding that she did not have the numbers ready on that account.

New Delhi, Sep 7 (Agencies): Domestic carrier Vistara has announced discounted fares, with all-inclusive tickets on economy class starting Rs 949.

Vistara, which is 51 per cent owned by the Tata Group, did not did not disclose the number of seats available under the offer. Vistara’s offer comes in the wake of a another discount offer from rival AirAsia India, which has announced discount offers on advanced fares, with all-inclusive tickets starting Rs 599.

New Delhi, Sep 7 (IANS): The State Bank of India (SBI) may relocate some branches after the merger of its associate banks into its fold, but none of them will be shut down, Chairperson Arundhati Bhattacharya has said in a bid to put rumours to rest and assuage the staff.

“I don’t believe we will be closing down any branches.

This is one area that is getting a lot of adverse publicity. We will be working with the synergies,” Bhattacharya told IANS, referring to the plans to merge five associates and Bharatiya Mahila Bank.

“Obviously, if the same building has branches of three associate banks, it doesn’t make sense to keep them open. If that branch is moved away 60 km, it will have a better reach.

We will be relocating a few of them,” the Chairperson told IANS over the phone.

MAGISTRATE / NOTARY K-3380

Beijing, Sep 7 (PTI): China today vowed to work with other countries in the region to fight terrorism after Kyrgyzstan said a recent suicide bomb attack on the Chinese embassy in the Kyrgyz capital was planned by Uighur militants active in Syria and carried out by the East Turkistan Islamic Movement.

“The East Turkistan forces represented by ETIM conducted multiple terrorist activities in and outside China. They have blood all over their hands,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying told reporters here.

“We will firmly strike against them and safeguard the safety of Chinese people in foreign countries. We will work together with other countries to fight against terrorism and safeguard stability of the world,” she said.

Hua’s remarks came after the Kyrgyz government identified the al-Qaeda linked ETIM militants -- active in China’s Muslim-majority Xinjiang province -- as the perpetrators of the August 30 attack on the Chinese mission in Bishkek that killed one person

and wounded five others.

The Kyrgyz authorities said the attack was organised

by Uyghur terrorists active in Syria and affiliated with Jabhat al-Nusra, an Islamist militant group fighting in Syria.

Terming ETIM as a well recognised terrorist force, Hua said it has been active in central Asia and Syria posing grave threat to not only to the China but also to other countries.

“To fight against ETIM is a core concern of China in the anti-terrorism cooperation with the rest of the world. We will strengthen corporation with other countries to fight against terrorism and safeguard the stability of China, Kyrgyzstan as well as other counters in the region,” she said.

Militancy-hit Xinjiang is the home of Uyghur Muslims and has witnessed unrest over the increasing settlements of Hans in the province.

Many members of ETIM, who are drawn from Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang province bordering Pakistanoccupied Kashmir (POK) and Afghanistan, have joined

the Islamic State (IS) to fight in Syria, according to recent reports.

China apprehends that many of them may return to carry out attacks in Xinjiang and other parts of the country.

While China blamed it for the attack, the ETIM, a shadowy organisation has never claimed responsibility for the attacks.

In bid to curtail infiltration, China recently formed Quadrilateral Cooperation and Coordination Mechanism involving Afghanistan-ChinaPakistan-Tajikistan Armed Forces to step up security along the borders. It is not clear why China omitted Kyrgyzstan from the border security mechanism.

Besides this the ChinaPakistan border police also launched border patrols along the PoK-Xinjiang borders.

China has close security cooperation with Kyrgyzstan which is a member of the Beijing-led Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO).

Besides China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan are its members.

Gen Raheel calls Kashmir as Pak’s ‘jugular veins’

General Raheel Sharif Islamabad, Sep 7 (PTI): Pakistan army chief General Raheel Sharif today described Kashmir as Pakistan’s “jugular vein” and said Islamabad will continue to support the people of the Valley on the “diplomatic and ethical” fronts. “We salute the great sacrifices of

the people of Kashmir for their right of self-determination. The solution of the problem lies in the implementation of the resolutions of United Nations in this regard. Pakistan will continue to support Kashmir on the diplomatic and ethical fronts,” said the chief of army staff, addressing a ceremony held at General Headquarters in Rawalpindi to mark the country’s Defence Day. General Raheel said Kashmir was Pakistan’s “jugular vein” and praised people of the Valley for rendering “innumerable sacrifices”.

The army chief asserted that “the defence of Pakistan is invincible”. “I want to make it clear to all the enemies that the defence of Pakistan already strong but now it has become invincible,” he was quoted as

US seeks progress of Mumbai attack trail Washington, Sep 7 (PTI) :The US has sought more progress in the trial of 2008 Mumbai terror attacks being held in Pakistan and said it wants to see “accountability and justice” for the 166 people, including six Americans, killed in the incident.

“We’ve been very clear that we want to see accountability and justice in the case,” State Department Deputy Spokesman Mark Toner told reporters yesterday.

“There were American citizens who lost their lives in those terrible attacks.

We’ve long encouraged and pushed for greater counterterrorism cooperation, and that includes the sharing of intelligence between India and Pakistan in that regard,” Toner said in response to a question.

“We’re making our concerns clear that they need to go after all the terrorist groups that are operating or seeking (safe) haven on their soil. And that’s been our clear objective for a long time now.

We’ve seen progress but we need to see more,” he added.

The trial has been underway in Pakistan for more than six years.

Hollywood inequality is ‘entrenched’, study suggests

for less than 1% of speaking parts - or 32 out of 35,205 characters.

Researchers described Hollywood as “an epicentre of cultural inequality”.

They said little progress had been made in increasing diversity.

Between 2007, when the study was first carried out, and 2015, the authors said there has been no marked change in the

proportion of black, Latino or Asian characters - at 12.2%, 5.3% and 3.9% respectively.

“We are more assured now that we can continue to stay true to ourselves as Babymetal.”

The trio broke two records in the UK this year. Their second album Metal Resistance achieved the highest-ever chart entry for a Japanese band, while merchandise sales at the Wembley show were the most for a one-day production in the venue’s history.

Metal Hammer readers also recently voted Babymetal’s self-titled debut album the best record of the 21st century.

ollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has been out championing the cause of women empowerment while simultaneously promoting his upcoming film ‘Pink’.

During an inter view with an online portal, the actor was questioned about the perceptions and prejudices prevalent in the Hindi film industry. Much to everyone’s surprise, the actor said that he didn’t know if it was relevant or not. He went on to explain a circumstance and revealed that Deepika Padukone was paid more than him in their 2015 drama ‘Piku’.

He reasoned that her pay hike was probably because she was ‘more important’ than him or that his price tag has receded because he has been in the industry for this long. He went on to state that maybe he was not ‘so important’.

nequality is “entrenched” in Hollywood, with women, minorities and LGBT people among those excluded, a new study has suggested.

The University of Southern California’s report showed that women had just 31.4% of spoken roles in 2015’s top 100 films, compared with 32.8% in 2008.

Lesbian, gay or transgender characters accounted

able-bodied man.

“Despite all the chatter and all the activism and all the press attention, it’s another year where the status quo has been maintained.’’

The report also showed: There were 2.2 men for every woman in a speaking role in the top 100 films of 2015 Just one character identifying as transgender was portrayed - there had been none in 2014 Out of 107 directors, four were black or African American and six were Asian or Asian American. Eight were women the highest figure since 2008 The number of LGBT characters increased in 2015 - but only two were shown as parents Women are more than three times as likely as men to be shown in sexually revealing clothing or nude - 30.2% to 7.7% Characters with a disability made up 2.4% of all speaking roles, despite 18.7% of the US population reporting having a disability in the 2010 census

Mohun Bagan give walkover to East Bengal in CFL derby Kolkata, Sep 7 (IANS): City football giants East Bengal are all set to get three points as arch-rivals Mohun Bagan decided to give a walkover on Wednesday in the seasons first Kolkata derby.

The Richard Drydencoached side are on the brink of history as a win against Mohammedan Sporting would secure their unprecedented seventh Calcutta Football League title. The marquee tie was scheduled to take place at the Kalyani Stadium on Wednesday but Mohun Bagan stuck to their guns of not taking the field due to inadequate number of tickets provided to them and not enough preparation time given to

players. “Until the referee and match commissioner submit their report and the matter goes to CFL sub-committee, I cannot say anything,” IFA secretary Utpal Ganguli told IANS. According to an East Bengal official who was with the team in Kalyani, the red and gold brigade took the field as per schedule and all the formalities were adhered to.

“Everything was done in accordance with the rules. We reached the field before ninety minutes. The players warmed up. The officials were there for half an hour with our players.

After 30 minutes, the match commissioner decided to call off the tie,” an East Bengal official said.

WC qualifier: Argentina draw, Brazil win er Marquinhos headed the ball into his own net. Neymar took a pass just inside the box with 73 minutes gone and his angled drive was well placed into the far corner to beat Colombian goalkeeper David Ospina.

It was his 48th goal in 72 international games and takes the Barcelona striker equal to Zico on Brazil’s all-time goalscoring list. The result lifts Brazil to 15 points, ahead of Argentina. Colombia sit two points behind them in fourth place and Uruguay topped the table with 16 points.

(L) Argentina celebrate Nicolas Otamendi’s late equaliser in their 2-2 draw with Venezuela. (R) The Barcelona forward wheels away in celebration

after scoring Brazil’s crucial goal.

London/basel, Sep 7 (Agencies/ians): Defender Nicolas Otamendi sneaked a late equaliser as Argentina, without injured captain Lionel Messi, came back from two goals down for a 2-2 draw away to Venezuela on Tuesday. The Venezuelans were deserving of their second point in eight qualifiers after goals by young forward Juanpi Anor and striker Josef Martinez had their opponents on the ropes.

But striker Lucas Pratto pulled one back with his maiden goal in his second match for Argentina, putting the visitors’ tails up after a sluggish first hour in the wet in Merida.

Uruguay had no such problems with equally damp conditions at home in Montevideo where they crushed Paraguay 4-0 with a Luis Suarez masterclass and an Edinson Cavani brace.

Suarez laid on both goals for Cavani and also converted a penalty on the stroke of halftime after midfielder Cristian Rodriguez had scored Uruguay’s second.

Cavani went top of the group’s scorers with five goals in eight matches. Uruguay snatched the lead in the South American group back from Argentina, who went top on Thursday after beating them 1-0

at home thanks to a Messi goal.

Argentina were stunned when 22-year-old Juanpi skipped between two defenders on the right of the box and curled a superb left-foot shot into the top far corner in the 34th minute.

The best Argentina could muster in the first half was a shot from outside the box that skimmed the post by Ever Banega, who was wearing Messi’s number 10 shirt. Martinez doubled Venezuela’s lead seven minutes after the break when he scored from a low cross by the ever busy and dangerous Salomon Rondon, who skipped past Otamendi. Pratto struck

registered their second consecutive win to take the second place in the South American qualifying group for Russia 2018.

The home side got the perfect start when Miranda rose after just 80 seconds to head home a corner and score his first goal in 33 appearances for the national side. Brazil, playing just their second game under new coach Tite, dominated the first half with a high-pace pressing game but struggled to make clear cut chances and paid the price in 35 minutes when CoNeymar’s second-half lombia equalised against the goal gave Brazil a 2-1 victory run of play. James Rodriguez over Colombia on Tuesday as floated in a free kick from 35 the five-times world champions yards out and Brazilian defendsix minutes later and Argentina piled on the pressure in the final stages with Venezuela’s goalkeeper Daniel Hernandez forced into a fine save to deny Angel Di Maria and keep his side ahead. However, Otamendi made amends in the 83rd minute for his poor performance at the back by steering in a corner from the right at the near post to save Argentina’s blushes.

Reigning Euro champion Portugal and runner-up France endured disappointing starts to their 2018 World Cup football qualifying campaigns while Belgium and Bulgaria won their respective matches. Playing without superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal lost 0-2 away to Switzerland through goals from Breel Embolo and Ahmed Mehmedi here on Tuesday, reports Efe. The French had to settle for a 0-0 draw in Belarus thanks to a fine performance from the home team goalkeeper Andrei Gorbunov.

Belgium, in the first competitive match under new coach Roberto Martinez, cruised to a 3-0 away victory over Cyprus on a pair of goals by Romelu Lukaku and one from Yannick Carrasco. Sweden took a 1-0 lead at home over the Netherlands, but midfielder Wesley Sneijder equalised to salvage a 1-1 draw for the visitors.

Awards come with responsibility: Sushil on Padma Bhushan award

Sushil Kumar

New Delhi, Sep 7 (Agencies): Celebrated Indian wrestler Sushil Kumar, who was nominated for the prestigious Padma Bhushan award, on Wednesday said that awards come with responsibility.

“If I get Padma Bhushan, I’ll feel proud that the nation loves me. Awards come with responsibilities,” he told ANI. The Wrestling Federation of India recently nominated the

33-year-old for India’s thirdhighest civillian honour. Sushil is the only Indian athlete to have won two individual Olympic medals — a bronze in the 2008 Beijing Games and a silver in the 2012 London Games.

Besides, he is also a World Championships gold-medallist, a two-time Commonwealth Games gold-medallist and four-time Commonwealth champion. But he missed the Rio Olympics 2016 as Narsingh Yadav was sent for the Games to represent India in men’s 74kg freestyle category.

His name was previously recommended for Padma Bhushan two years ago but was rejected. He has already been awarded with the Khel Ratna award — the country’s highest sporting honour.

Para sports activist demands TV broadcast of Rio Paralympics New Delhi, Sep 7 (IANS): Para Sports Foundation general secretary and former international athlete Pradeep Raj has demanded that the 2016 Paralympics, which start in Rio de Janeiro from Wednesday, be broadcast over television.

Addressing a press conference to demand television broadcast of Rio Paralympics, Raj launched a scathing attack on officials travelling to the Paralympics, saying most of them either spend their time shopping or vacationing during such sporting events. “Most officials, who couldn’t go for the

Rio Olympics have been sent this time to Rio. These are powerful people and they force the athletes to take them as coaches,” Raj said. “These officials obviously know nothing about sports or Para sports. They go their on taxpayers’ money just for vacation. On most occasions, these officials don’t even visit the stadium, leave aside helping the athletes in their performance,” he added.

Demanding telecast of the Paralympics in India, Raj said that despite repeated requests, there has been no reply from the authorities.

Fury rematch with Klitschko set in Oct Wozniacki, Kerber to clash for US Open final spot

Fury outpointed Wladimir Klitschko last November to win his heavyweight world titles.

London, Sep 7 (Agencies): Tyson Fury will defend his multiple heavyweight world titles in a rematch with Wladimir Klitschko on October 29.

Almost a year after he dethroned the long-reigning champion in Dusseldorf, Fury will enjoy home advantage at the Manchester Arena for the much-delayed second meeting.

The pair were due to meet in July but Fury pulled out with an ankle injury. The fight was plunged into further doubt with

reports that Fury had tested positive for a banned substance before their first fight. That threatened to bury the rematch in legal red tape before UK Anti-Doping lifted their suspension pending a full investigation.

Fury’s coach and uncle Peter said: ‘I’m delighted that we can finally get the fight back on and in Manchester on Oct 29. After hard discussions we can now focus on giving the fans what they deserve; another barnburner of a fight. ‘Team Fury will ensure

Tyson is in the shape of his life to successfully retain his world titles.’ Fury was far from in shape when he appeared at a press conference in April to promote their ill-fated summer showdown. But he locked himself away in his Dutch training camp and appeared to be on track before suffering an injury.

He then travelled to France where he partied with England fans during Euro 2016, buying 200 jagerbombs for the revellers.

NEW YORK, Sep 7 (Agencies): Caroline Wozniacki’s dramatic resurgence continued Tuesday when the former world number one defeated a hobbling Anastasija Sevastova to reach a fourth US Open semi-final.

The two-time runner-up, ranked at a lowly 74 after an injury-hit campaign, eased to a 6-0, 6-2 win and will face second seed Angelique Kerber for a place in Saturday’s championship match.

Sevastova, playing in her first Grand Slam quarter-final, never recovered from falling and turning her right ankle in the second game of the opening set.

The 26-year-old was hobbled from that point on and the contest was over in just over an hour with the world number 48 having committed 30 unforced errors to the Dane’s five.

Wozniacki, the finalist in 2009 and 2014 and semi-finalist also in 2010 and 2011, sympathised with Sevastova after she spent almost three months out of the sport with a right ankle injury earlier this year.

ICC withdraws two-tier test proposal

New Delhi, Sep 7 (PTI): The International Cricket Council on Wednesday withdrew its contentious proposal of having a ‘Two-Tier’ Test system following “vehement opposition” from world’s richest cricketing body BCCI with the support of Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh.

“The two-tier Test system proposal, which was supposed to come up for discussion during the two-day Chief Executives Committee (CEC) meeting in Dubai has been taken off the table keeping in mind the objections raised by four members.

The ICC will now look afresh at the whole aspect,” a source in the ICC told PTI today.

BCCI president Anurag

Thakur, who has been a vocal critic of this move terming it a detrimental and retrograde step for the financially weaker nations, welcomed the move.

“I am thankful to the members of the ICC who understood our viewpoint and agreed to take this proposal off the table. As one of the key stakeholders in world cricket, BCCI would continue to have an inclusive approach and ensure that everyone’s interest and the growth of cricket isn’t compromised,” Thakur, who was at the forefront of the anti Two-Tier format, told PTI today.

The Indian Board president said the growth and popularity of the game won’t suffer because of the existing format. “We want to grow

the game and take it to new pastures and will not allow any step which can shrink the popularity and development of the game,” said Thakur.

It was learnt that BCCI CEO Rahul Johri thanked the ICC for understanding their point of view. “BCCI CEO Rahul Johri thanked International Cricket Council for understanding the sentiment of all the boards opposing the two-tier system and also ensured its fullest co-operation in the interest of the game to popularise Test cricket worldwide,” a source in the know of things told PTI today.

Any structural change to be passed by the ICC needs a clear 2/3rd majority and it would have been difficult to pass this proposal as it required 7 out of 10 votes.

Even the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) would have joined hands with BCCI to stop the move even though they have traditionally sided with the English and Australian boards. The BCCI recently played four Tests in West Indies as a part of the Caribbean team’s aborted 2014 tour of India.

“Contrary to reports that West Indies were in support of two-Tier system, it was exactly the opposite. West Indies were never in favour of a twotier Test system. Yes, they are in favour of four-day format

for Tests and all for day-night but they never supported bifurcation into two division,” a source informed.

The ICC CEO Dave Richardson in a press statement from Dubai accepted that a lot of deliberation is still needed on the subject.

“There are some complexities, not least because of scheduling and existing structures, but we envisage the changes being implemented for 2019,” Richardson said.

“Encouragingly, there is an appetite from the 10 full members for more context around all three formats of the game and we have consensus on a range of areas.

This includes the details of ODI and T20 structures and principles around Test cricket schedules, which include the concept of a Test Champion play-off every two years, and the opportunity for more nations to be involved,” the CEO further stated.

“Members will now revert to their boards to share the details of the proposed revised structures and principles. Work will continue to develop a clear structure and position for each format over the coming months as the International Cricket Council collectively focuses on improving bi-lateral cricket for fans and players in the long run,” he concluded.

her second semi-final in New York having also made the last four in 2011. Kerber holds a 7-5 career record over Wozniacki.

Djokovic through to semis as Tsonga retires

Defending champion Novak Djokovic reached his 10th successive US Open semifinal on Tuesday when Jo-Wilfried Tsonga retired from their quarterfinal match with a left knee injury while trailing 3-6, 2-6.

It was the third time in five matches that an opponent’s injury has worked to Djokovic’s advantage, after his walkover into the third round where Mikhail Youzhny retired after just six games. Ninth-seeded Tsonga gave him more of a workout, but even before an apparent left knee injury began to trouble the Frenchman in the second set Djokovic had the match well in hand.

The Serbian world number one will face another Frenchman, Gael Monfils, for a place in Sunday’s championship match after the 10th seed pummelled compatriot Lucas Pouille 6-4, 6-3, 6-3.

It was the first time in 89 years that three French men

Caroline Wozniacki

had reached the quarterfinals of the US championships. Tsonga was the highest seed among them, but his challenge ended with a whimper.

Down two breaks at 2-5 in the second, he called for the trainer, wincing as his knee was manipulated. A merciless Djokovic then served out the set at love, firing a 118 mph (189.9 km/h) ace -- his first of the contest -- on set point. After Tsonga opened the third set with a double fault he called a halt.

BCCI threatens to pull out of CT 2017

NE W DE L HI , S e p 7 (Agencies): The tussle between the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has taken a new turn with the Indian cricket board is now mulling to pull out of the next year’s Champions Trophy, scheduled to be held in England after being excluded from the ICC’s finance committee meeting held few days ago in Dubai.

BCCI secretary Ajay Shirke reacted angrily to the latest ICC snub and termed it as ‘humiliating’. “These are the committees where all the important decisions are taken - finance, commerce and chief executives committee; India not having a representative (in those committees) is a humiliation for us. We will tell the ICC, ‘either you amend this or we will decide what to do to protect India’s cricket interests globally’. It could be anything.

We may even not play the Champions Trophy. Better sense may prevail, and we may not reach that stage at all. But there are so many options,” he told Indian Express. The BCCI has reportedly been angry with several latest developments, including ICC’s proposal of a two-tier Test structure and the decision to disband the ‘Big Three’ reforms. However, the ICC gave in to the pressure from the world’s richest cricket body and withdrew the two-tier Test system.
