The two leaders agreed that peace on the border was must for further development of bilateral ties GAURAV SHARMA, XIAMEN

ndia and China on Tuesday signalled they were ready to move on from their Doklam border row, with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreeing to avoid similar incidents in future.

After the over two-month long stand-off between their armies, Modi and Xi had their first “healthy” and “fruitful” bilateral meeting after the conclusion of the 9th BRICS Summit where they agreed that peace on the border was must for further development of bilateral ties.

“Met President Xi Jinping. We held fruitful talks on bilateral relations between India and China,” Modi tweeted later after the over hour-long meeting with Xi. The Indian leader thanked the Chinese government and the people for their “warm hospitality” during the three-day BRICS Summit and then left for Myanmar.

On his part, Xi said “healthy and stable relations” between China and India were in line with the fundamental interests of their people.

“China is willing to work with India on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence to improve political mutual trust, promote mutually beneficial cooperation and push Sino-Indian ties along a right track,” he told Modi.

In his opening remarks, Modi

der, hatching a criminal conspiracy to carry out the blasts, waging a war against the nation, supplying arms and ammunition, and other serious offenses, Salve told media persons after the ruling.

All the six accused, including Mustafa Dossa, were earlier pronounced guilty by the Special Court on June 16. However Dossa, 60, died of a heart attack on June 28.

They were convicted and sentenced under various laws including Indian Penal Code, TADA,, Explosives Act, Explosive Substances Act, Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act and others.

The 43-page declaration of the 9th BRICS Summit equated the LeT and JeM — which New Delhi has blamed for terror attacks in India — as well as TTP (Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan) with the Islamic State and Al Qaeda and deplored their acts.

Last year, at the 8th BRICS Summit in Goa, China had reportedly opposed the inclusion of the Pak-

istan-backed terrorist outfits in the declaration.

China has in the past shielded its “all-weather ally” Pakistan even after Islamabad was pilloried by India, the US and other countries for harboring terrorists.

“We express concern on the security situation in the region and violence caused by the Taliban, ISIL/DAISH, Al Qaeda and its affiliates including Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement, Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, the Haqqani network, Lashkar-e-Taiba(LeT), Jaish-eMohammad(JeM), TTP (Tehreek-iTaliban Pakistan) and Hizb ut-Tahrir,” said the Xiamen declaration.

Special TADA Court on Thursday sentenced two convicts to death, gangster Abu Salem Ansari and another to life terms and one more to 10 years jail in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case.

Special Judge G.A. Sanap pronounced the death verdict on Mohammed Taher Merchant, 55 and Feroze Abdul Rashid Khan, 47, for their role in the blasts, said Special Public Prosecutor Deepak Salve.

On a quiet afternoon of March 12, 1993, the country’s commercial capital was shattered by a series of 13 blasts in quick succession at various locations in the city and suburbs, creating the worst unprecedented mayhem in the country, killing 257 and injuring 700 others.

MIDWEST EDITION | EAST COAST EDITION | Volume 8 • Issue No. 427 , SEPTEMBER 9, 2017 | THE COMMUNITY FIRST congratulated Xi for the “very successful” execution of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) Summit.

Xi also told Modi that “healthy and stable bilateral ties (were) in line with fundamental interests of the two nations”.

Indian External Affairs Ministry Secretary S. Jaishankar described the Xi-Modi meet as “forward-looking” and “constructive”.

“Overall, the readout I will give you is really sort of forward-looking,

constructive,” he told the media here.

“I think one of the important points which was made in the meeting was that peace and tranquility in the border areas was a prerequisite for further development of the bilateral relationship.”

Jaishankar said both the leaders agreed that “more efforts should be made to really enhance and strengthen the mutual level of trust between the two sides.

“It is natural that between large

powers there would be areas of difference and it should be handled with mutual respect.

“Efforts should be made to find common ground in those areas...

The defense and security personnel must maintain strong contact and cooperation and ensure that the sort of situation which happened recently should not recur,” Jaishankar said.

The stand-off between Indian and Chinese troops began in June at Doklam, an area disputed by

Bhutan and China. India said the Chinese decision to build a road in the area impacted New Delhi’s strategic interests.

ith the issue of Rohingya Muslims stalking both the countries, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said India shared Myanmar’s concerns over the situation in Rakhine state and the loss of lives of security personnel and innocent people in the violence blamed on insurgents from the minority community.

After talks with Myanmar’s state Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, Modi hoped that whether in the peace process or resolving a “specific problem”, all the stakeholders can work together to find a solution that will ensure peace, justice and dignity for all by respecting the unity and territorial integrity of Myanmar.

The Prime Minister, however, did not mention anything about alleged human rights violations against the

BEIJING: China on Thursday played down the Indian Army Chief’s war remarks and wondered whether his comments represented the view of the Indian government.

Reacting to Indian Army Chief General Bipin Rawat’s remarks that India should be prepared for a twofront war, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang said:

“We don’t know if he was authorized to speak those words or if it was his spontaneous words and whether his remarks represented the position of the Indian government.”

Rawat’s comments on Wednesday came a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping had a meeting on the sidelines of the BRICS summit.

US, North Korea lock horns

Pyongyang has successfully trialed a hydrogen bomb that could be loaded on to a missile

US wants Kim’s assets to be frozen

Military action not first choice: Trump

WASHINGTON: The US has proposed a range of new UN sanctions against North Korea, including an oil ban and a freeze on the leader Kim Jong-un’s assets.

The draft resolution circulated to the Security Council members came after North Korea’s sixth nuclear test and repeated missile launches, BBC reported.

Pyongyang also claimed to have developed a hydrogen bomb and continues to threaten to strike the US. China and Russia were expected to oppose further sanctions.

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said that military action was not the “first choice” of his administration on the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue.

On his way to participate in a tax reform event, Trump told reporters that military action against North Korea was “not a first choice, but we will see what happens”, Xinhua news agency reported.

In a related development, the White House said that Trump spoke with British and Australian leaders by phone regarding the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.

The White House said that in his discussion with British Prime Minister Theresa May, Trump stressed that now is not the time to talk to North Korea, and made clear that all options remain open to defend the US.

P

entagon chief James Mattis said any threat to the US or its allies by North Korea will be met with a “massive military response”.

His comments this week came after a national security briefing with President Donald Trump about the secretive communist state’s latest nuclear test, BBC reported.

Pyongyang says it has successfully trialed a hydrogen bomb that could be loaded on to a long-range missile. The move has drawn international condemnation.

North Korea has defied UN sanctions and international pressure by developing nuclear weapons and test missiles that could potentially reach the US. But speaking to reporters outside the White House, Defense Secretary Mattis said the US had the ability to defend itself and its allies South Korea and Japan, adding that its commitments were “ironclad”.

US to sell arms to Japan, South Korea WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has announced that he will permit the sale of highly sophisticated military equipment to Japan and South Korea, two neighbors of North Korea threatened by its regime’s latest nuclear trials.

“I am allowing Japan & South Korea to buy a substantially increased amount of highly sophisticated military equipment from the United States,” Trump tweeted, reported Efe.

“Any threat to the US or its territories — including Guam — or our allies will be met with a massive military response, a response both effective and overwhelming.”

However, he said the hope was for denuclearization, “because we are not looking to the total annihi-

Meanwhile, President Trump has warned that America may stop trading with any country that does business with the North.

The first suggestion that this was

to be a far from normal Sunday in the region came when seismologists’ equipment started picking up readings of an earth tremor in the area where North Korea has conducted nuclear tests before.

The US Geological Survey put the tremor at 6.3 magnitude.

Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono said there was no doubt this was North Korea’s sixth nuclear test, calling it “unforgivable”.

Then North Korean state media confirmed this was no earthquake.

It claimed the country had conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test, detonating a hydrogen bomb that could be loaded onto a long-range missile.

Technology giants condemn DACA program repeal IANS, SAN FRANCISCO

T

ech giants, including Apple, Microsoft, Google and Facebook, have unanimously criticized the decision by Donald Trump’s administration to rescind the DACA program that had potentially put 800,000 illegal immigrants at danger of deportation.

“I’m here today to announce that the program known as DACA that was effectuated under the Obama administration is being rescinded,” Xinhua news agency quoted US Attorney General Jeff Sessions as saying.

Sessions said the Deferred Action

for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was “implemented in 2012 and essentially provided a

legal status for recipients or a renewable two-year term work authorization and other benefits”.

His announcement came after Trump called on the Congress to take action to address the issue.

While Apple and Microsoft have offered defense to their “Dreamers”, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, “This is a sad day for our country.” Google CEO Sunder Pichai asked the “Congress to act now”.

“On behalf of the hundreds of employees at Apple whose futures are at stake, on behalf of their colleagues and on behalf of the millions more across America who believe, as we do, in the power of dreams, we issue an urgent plea for our leaders in Washington to protect the Dreamers so their futures

can never be put at risk in this way again,” ReCode quoted Apple CEO Tim Cook as saying.

Microsoft President and Chief Legal Officer Brad Smith said the company was deeply disappointed by the administration’s decision and they believe this was a big step back for the country.

“If Congress fails to act, our company will exercise its legal rights properly to help protect our employees. If the government seeks to deport any one of them, we will provide and pay for their legal counsel,” Smith wrote, of the 39 Dreamers who work at Microsoft, in a blog post shortly after the decision was announced.

1993 Mumbai blasts case: 2 get death Mohammed Taher Merchant and Feroze Khan were awarded death penalty for their role in the blasts that left 257 dead IANS, MUMBAI

A

Special TADA Court on Thursday sentenced two convicts to death, gangster Abu Salem Ansari and another to life terms and one more to 10 years jail in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case.

Special Judge G.A. Sanap pronounced the death verdict on Mohammed Taher Merchant, 55 and Feroze Abdul Rashid Khan, 47, for their role in the blasts, said Special Public Prosecutor Deepak Salve.

Besides Salem, 50, the Special Court sent Karimullah Khan, 55,

to jail for life and fifth convict, Riyaz Siddiqui, 67, to 10 years rigorous imprisonment.

On a quiet afternoon of March 12, 1993, the country’s commercial capital was shattered by a series of 13 blasts in quick succession The Special Judge also slapped varying amounts of fines on the convicts after finding them guilty on various charges, including mur-

der, hatching a criminal conspiracy to carry out the blasts, waging a war against the nation, supplying arms and ammunition, and other serious offenses, Salve told media persons after the ruling.

All the six accused, including Mustafa Dossa, were earlier pronounced guilty by the Special Court on June 16. However Dossa, 60, died of a heart attack on June 28.

They were convicted and sentenced under various laws including Indian Penal Code, TADA,, Explosives Act, Explosive Substances Act, Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act and others.

For perpetrating their heinous

acts, the conspirators acquired and smuggled deadly arms and ammunition, detonators, hand grenades and nearly three tonnes of the deadly RDX. However, another accused Abdul Qayyum, 64, was acquitted from the case for lack of sufficient evidence.

On a quiet afternoon of March 12, 1993, the country’s commercial capital was shattered by a series of 13 blasts in quick succession at various locations in the city and suburbs, creating the worst unprecedented mayhem in the country, killing 257 and injuring 700 others.

India must be prepared for two-front war: Army chief IANS, NEW DELHI

China downplays Army Chief’s war remarks

I

ndia should be prepared for a two-front war, Army chief Bipin Rawat said on Wednesday, adding that the threat of conflict was real on both western and northern borders, and deterrence in form of nuclear bombs or military power may not actually stop it.

“To say that in the future there will be no war if you have deterrence may not always be true.

“Nuclear powers don’t go to war and that nuclear weapons are weapons of deterrence.... But to say that they can deter war, they will not allow nations to go to war, in our context that may also not be true,” Gen Rawat said at an event here.

Noting that in future, wars may start before forces come into contact, he cited the recent stand-off with China, where something simi-

Meanwhile, the Kashmir Bar Association has announced continuation of its strike on Friday against the summoning of its president Mian Qayoom by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

BEIJING: China on Thursday played down the Indian Army Chief’s war remarks and wondered whether his comments represented the view of the Indian government.

Reacting to Indian Army Chief General Bipin Rawat’s remarks that India should be prepared for a twofront war, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang said:

non contact warfare even before nations begin to understand that there is war.

“If you look at recent situation that happened at our northern border close to Sikkim, we did see

information, psychological, media and legal warfare being launched by the adversary. It did not however lead to kinetic warfare. But this kind of warfare will continue so we have to remain prepared for everything,” he said.

About Pakistan, Rawat said that propaganda was being used to make

“We don’t know if he was authorized to speak those words or if it was his spontaneous words and whether his remarks represented the position of the Indian government.”

For China, Rawat said they have “started salami slicing, taking over territory in a very gradual manner, testing our limits of threshold... it is something we have to be wary about and remain prepared for situations which could gradually emerge into conflict.

Cabinet reshuffle done with eye to 2019 Lok Sabha polls PRASHANT SOOD, NEW DELHI

T

he federal Cabinet’s reshuffle and expansion on Sunday saw elevation of those seen as performing while sending out a political message on BJP’s intention to expand its footprint in south and eastern India with an eye to the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

The reshuffle saw Dharmendra Pradhan, Piyush Goyal, Nirmala Sitharaman, and Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi being elevated to Cabinet rank apparently based on their respective performance as Ministers of State (Independent Charge).

While Sitharaman has got the

weighty portfolio of defense, Pradhan has got skill development in addition to petroleum and nat-

ural gas he was handling.

Piyush Goyal has been given the weighty portfolio of railways. Water resources, river development and Ganga rejuvenation have gone to Nitin Gadkari.

The sports portfolio has now been given to Col Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore (retd). The Labor Ministry has seen a change with Santosh Kumar Gangwar replacing Bandaru Dattatreya.

Former Home Secretary Raj Kumar Singh has been given independent charge of the power portfolio. Singh has also been allocated new and renewable energy and has the onerous task of meeting India’s

ambitious targets of developing renewable energy.

Housing and urban development portfolio has been assigned to experienced former diplomat Hardeep Singh Puri. Former bureaucrat K.J. Alphons Kannanthanam has been given independent charge of tourism.

The induction of Kannanthanam, elevation of Nirmala Sitharaman as Defense Minister, and appointment of Anant Kumar Hegde as Minister of State for Skill Development is being seen as a signal of the BJP reaching out to south India where the party is relatively weak.

Rohingya refugees

India must take humane view

As per Human Rights Watch Report 2017, the ethnic cleansing campaign in Myanmar has been on since June 2012, becoming the most serious and widespread form of violence against the Rohingyas BAWA SINGH, NEW DELHI

G

iven its rich mineral resources, historical and civilizational ties and strategic location, sharing maritime and land borders, Myanmar holds a pivotal position in India’s Act East policy. However, Rohingya refugees from Myanmar have become a serious security concern not only for Myanmar, India and Bangladesh, but for the entire region.

Rohingya refugees have serious security implications for Southeast and South Asia given their vulnerabilities, allowing many to be picked up by terrorist groups. According to the Human Rights Watch Report 2017, the ethnic cleansing campaign in Myanmar has been on since June 2012. It has become the most serious and widespread form of violence against the Rohingyas.

Operations carried out by government security forces against Rohingyas led to grave breaches of human rights, including mass killings, third-degree torture, arbitrary arrests, rapes and other sexual violence. Also, these people have

been facing restrictions like freedom of movement, marriage, education and employment.

The Rohingyas have been suffering from many diseases as the government does not allow humanitarian agencies to provide them necessities like food and medicines. Since

the violence began in 2012, approximately 120,000 Rohingyas have been displaced in the various Rakhine state camps and to neighboring countries.

After years of human rights violations against the Rohingyas, a militant group appeared under the

banner of the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) in October 2016 in the remote May Yu mountain range bordering Bangladesh.

On August 25, 2017, Rohingya militants attacked the border police, resulting in the deaths of 71 people, including 12 security personnel, in

What is causing so many changes to India’s monsoons?

Rainfall has increased threefold over the last few years and now extend over all of central India — from Gujarat to Odisha RAGHU MURTUGUDDE, NEW DELHI

F

or the third year in a row, the monsoon season has produced floods in the northwest and the northeast, while south India has suffered from a rainfall deficit. Rainfall extremes have increased threefold over the last few years and now extend over all of central India — from Gujarat to Odisha.

The floods of 2017 are quite consistent with this pattern; the moisture derives from the northern Arabian Sea and not from depressions in the Bay of Bengal as one would usually expect.

Considering the total rainfall over the entire monsoon season from June to September, an early

The onset of the monsoon has been delayed almost every year since 1976, when there was a regime shift in climate around the world.

monsoon tends to bring bountiful rainfall whereas better-than-average rainfall is rarely seen when they are delayed.

The onset of the monsoon has been delayed almost every year since 1976, when there was a regime shift in climate around the

world — from a weak to a strong El Niño period. Since this time, monsoons have also been ending sooner — almost a week from the end of September; so the length of the rainy season has been compressed.

This is in addition to the approximately 10 per cent decrease in all-

India monsoon rainfall, and an increase in the spatial variability of monsoon rainfall since the 1950s.

During the monsoon season, there are usually random “break periods” when there is hardly any rainfall. These periods are associated with systems moving north-

Rakhine state. Rohingyas have accused the security forces of shooting “indiscriminately” and not sparing “even babies”.

Myanmar was included as a full member of ASEAN in 1997.

Despite this, the leadership of the country’s military junta did not attend ASEAN meetings or summits. After the transition to civilian rule in 2011, Myanmar hosted an ASEAN Summit in 2014.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) established the ASEAN Inter-governmental Commission on Human Rights in 2009 to focus on promoting human rights among member-countries.

The ASEAN Human Rights Declaration (AHRD) was drafted and unanimously adopted during the Phnom Penh ASEAN Summit in November 2012. It has 40 articles covering six categories: General principles; civil and political rights; economic, social and cultural rights; the right to development; the right to peace; and cooperation in the promotion and protection of human rights. Myanmar has committed to the protection of human rights and yet, the Rohingya issue festers. wards from the equatorial region.

All available data and modelsblended-with-data (known as reanalysis) indicate that global warming is shortening the length of the “active periods” when it does rain, while lengthening the break periods. They also indicate that climate change is decreasing the extremes in the active periods while increasing them in the break periods.

So, almost everything about the monsoon is changing — rainfall intensity, duration, frequency and spatial distribution.

We cannot be entirely sure if all this is in response to global warming — in which case it could be permanent and accelerate — or if the monsoon system will revert to a more “normal” state. We need many more years of data and reanalysis to be sure.

Analyzing the South Asian monsoon has been difficult. A rich vein of long-term data yields great insights but also raises new questions and poses serious challenges to climate models old and new. However, now we do know that rainfall extremes during the monsoon are unrelated to local warming.

American ‘dream-er’ over Trump eliminates the DACA programme that has shielded nearly 800,000 young people including Indians from deportation IANS, WASHINGTON

S

ticking to his election promise, US President Donald Trump this week decided to repeal the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) programme — putting thousands of people, including Indians, who illegally immigrated to the US as children, at deportation risk.

According to Suman Raghunathan of South Asian Americans Leading Together (SAALT), a leading advocacy organization headquartered in New York, 27,000 Asian Americans ( which includes 5,500 Indians and Pakistanis) are covered under DACA and an additional 17,000 from India are eligible for DACA. Meanwhile, New York Attorney

According to the report, when the office of President is vacant, the first in line to exercise its powers is the CPA Chairman, followed by the Speaker of Parliament. This is the first time the office has fallen vacant since the elected presidency was introduced in 1991.

Pillay is no stranger to exercising the powers of the President. As CPA Chairman since 2005, he has been acting President each time the President goes on an overseas trip. He acted as President in May,

The announcement came one day after US Attorney General Jeff Sessions said the program was rescinded, which potentially put about 800,000 illegal immigrants at the danger of deportation.

The program, named the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), was implemented by Barack Obama in 2012 to essentially provide a legal status for recipients or renewable two-year term work authorization.

In a written statement, Trump said he is looking forward to working with the Congress to finally address all of these issues “in a manner that puts the hardworking citizens of our country first”.

Protesters gathered outside the White House to voice their anger this week. There were similar protests in other major US cities.

The National Sikh Campaign (NSC), which launched the “We Are Sikhs” campaign on Baisakhi Day in April, said that a survey conducted in mid-July in Fresno, California, showed that 78 per cent of those who had seen the TV commercials said they know something about Sikhism, against only 40 per cent of those had no exposure to the community.

Overall now, “59 per cent of

Fresno residents - a clear majority say they know at least something about Sikhs who live in America”, the survey said, adding “68 per

cent saw Sikhs as good neighbors and 64 per cent saw Sikhs as generous and kind”. Fresno has the highest concentration of Sikhs in

the US. According to American stereotypes, people with beards and turbans are associated with terrorism or involving in hostile against the US, and as a result Sikhs, who wear these as religious symbols, have been subjected to attacks and harassment.

It started with the Iran crisis in 1979 and intensified after the September 2001 terror attacks and continued through the presidency of Barack Obama when six Sikhs were massacred inside a temple in Wisconsin state in 2012.

NSC co-founder Rajwant Singh, told IANS: “We have seen an unprecedented polarization in American politics and societal division and this story is positive.”

Modi and Xi meet, discuss Doklam The two leaders agreed that peace on the border was must for further development of bilateral ties GAURAV SHARMA, XIAMEN

I

ndia and China on Tuesday signalled they were ready to move on from their Doklam border row, with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreeing to avoid similar incidents in future.

After the over two-month long stand-off between their armies, Modi and Xi had their first “healthy” and “fruitful” bilateral meeting after the conclusion of the 9th BRICS Summit where they agreed that peace on the border was must for further development of bilateral ties.

“Met President Xi Jinping. We held fruitful talks on bilateral relations between India and China,” Modi tweeted later after the over hour-long meeting with Xi. The Indian leader thanked the Chinese government and the people for their “warm hospitality” during the three-day BRICS Summit and then left for Myanmar.

On his part, Xi said “healthy and stable relations” between China and India were in line with the fundamental interests of their people.

“China is willing to work with India on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence to improve political mutual trust, promote mutually beneficial cooperation and push Sino-Indian ties along a right track,” he told Modi.

In his opening remarks, Modi

BRICS declaration names Pakistan-based terror groups XIAMEN: In a big win for India’s campaign against terrorism emanating from Pakistan, BRICS countries on Monday named Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-eMohammad (JeM) in their joint declaration while calling for a comprehensive approach to combat terrorism.

The 43-page declaration of the 9th BRICS Summit equated the LeT and JeM — which New Delhi has blamed for terror attacks in India — as well as TTP (Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan) with the Islamic State and Al Qaeda and deplored their acts.

Last year, at the 8th BRICS Summit in Goa, China had reportedly opposed the inclusion of the Pak-

congratulated Xi for the “very successful” execution of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) Summit.

Xi also told Modi that “healthy and stable bilateral ties (were) in line with fundamental interests of the two nations”.

Indian External Affairs Ministry Secretary S. Jaishankar described the Xi-Modi meet as “forward-looking” and “constructive”.

“Overall, the readout I will give you is really sort of forward-looking,

istan-backed terrorist outfits in the declaration.

China has in the past shielded its “all-weather ally” Pakistan even after Islamabad was pilloried by India, the US and other countries for harboring terrorists.

“We express concern on the security situation in the region and violence caused by the Taliban, ISIL/DAISH, Al Qaeda and its affiliates including Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement, Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, the Haqqani network, Lashkar-e-Taiba(LeT), Jaish-eMohammad(JeM), TTP (Tehreek-iTaliban Pakistan) and Hizb ut-Tahrir,” said the Xiamen declaration.

constructive,” he told the media here.

“I think one of the important points which was made in the meeting was that peace and tranquility in the border areas was a prerequisite for further development of the bilateral relationship.”

Jaishankar said both the leaders agreed that “more efforts should be made to really enhance and strengthen the mutual level of trust between the two sides.

“It is natural that between large

powers there would be areas of difference and it should be handled with mutual respect.

“Efforts should be made to find common ground in those areas...

The defense and security personnel must maintain strong contact and cooperation and ensure that the sort of situation which happened recently should not recur,” Jaishankar said.

The stand-off between Indian and Chinese troops began in June at Doklam, an area disputed by

Bhutan and China. India said the Chinese decision to build a road in the area impacted New Delhi’s strategic interests.

Indian troops entered the area and stopped the Chinese road work, angering Beijing. The border row seriously affected Sino-Indian relations until the two countries settled the issue by recalling their troops from Doklam last month.

Jaishankar said: “This was no backward-looking conversation, this was forward- looking conversation.”

India shares concerns over situation in Myanmar’s Rakhine: Modi IANS, NAY PYI TAW

W

ith the issue of Rohingya Muslims stalking both the countries, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said India shared Myanmar’s concerns over the situation in Rakhine state and the loss of lives of security personnel and innocent people in the violence blamed on insurgents from the minority community.

After talks with Myanmar’s state Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, Modi hoped that whether in the peace process or resolving a “specific problem”, all the stakeholders can work together to find a solution that will ensure peace, justice and dignity for all by respecting the unity and territorial integrity of Myanmar.

The Prime Minister, however, did not mention anything about alleged human rights violations against the

Rohingyas, tens of thousands of who have fled to neighboring Bangladesh, with many thousands spilling over to India.

“We are partners in your concerns over the loss of lives of security forces and innocent people due to the extremist violence in

Rakhine state,” Modi said in a joint address to the media with Suu Kyi following the delegation-level talks between the two sides here.

“Be it the large peace process or be it to resolve a specific problem, we hope that all the stakeholders can work together in the direction

to find such a solution that will ensure peace, justice and dignity for all by respecting the unity and territorial integrity of Myanmar,” he said.

Suu Kyi is under mounting international pressure to stop the alleged atrocities against the

Rohingyas, who are even denied citizenship in Myanmar.

Thousands of Rohingyas are crossing over into Bangladesh — where they are sparingly given refugee status — to escape from the violence in Rakhine state.

Media reports quoted the UNHCR spokesperson in Bangladesh as saying that at least 123,000 Rohingyas have crossed over in the past few days.

The latest exodus began on August 25, after Rohingya insurgents attacked police posts in Rakhine, leading to a violent offensive by the Myanmar Army.

India also faces the problem of Rohingyas fleeing into the states bordering Myanmar.

Modi also lauded Suu Kyi for her courageous leadership in the Myanmar peace process and said India fully understood the challenges she was faced with.

India thrash Sri Lanka in T20I With this, India made a clean sweep on its tour of Sri Lanka winning all three tests, five ODIs and one T20 international.

IANS, COLOMBO

V

irat Kohli led from the front with some explosive batting as India thrashed Sri Lanka by seven wickets in the one-off Twenty20 International at the R. Premadasa Stadium here this week.

Kohli plundered 82 runs off just 54 deliveries, smashing seven boundaries and a six as the visitors chased down the 171-run target with four balls and seven wickets to spare.

Manish Pandey gave Kohli excellent support from the other end. The right-hander from Kar-

Depends on Kohli to use Dhoni’s advice MUMBAI: India’s first World Cupwinning skipper Kapil Dev this week said it all depends on current captain Virat Kohli to use and utilise his predecessor Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s sharp cricketing acumen when the 28-year-old leads India for the first time in a global event — the ICC Champions Trophy — starting June 1 in England.

Earlier this year, Kohli took over as the full-time skipper after Dhoni had surprisingly announced he was stepping down ahead of the three-match One-day International (ODI) series against England.

Despite India winning the series 2-1 in January, Kohli did not have any more matches to prove his leadership credentials in the 50-over format as the team was engaged in a four-match gruelling Test rubber against Australia before the Indian Premier League (IPL) set in.

As India head to England to defend their Champions Trophy crown with Kohli at the helm, Kapil feels it is up to the Delhi batsman to get the best out of Dhoni, who led the men-in-blue to the title four years ago in the same country.

“It all depends on Kohli on how he wants to use his former captain’s experience. I don’t think Dhoni will be the one who will keep on jumping and keep on advising Kohli. It’s upto Kohli to get the best out of Dhoni and take his advice whenever its required,” Kapil said.

—IANS

Brief scores:

INDIA: 174/3 (Virat Kohli 82, Manish Pandey 51 not out) vs Sri Lanka: 170/7 (Dilshan Munaweera 53, Ashan Priyanjan 40 not out, Isuru Udana 19 not out, Yuzvendra Chahal 3/43, Kuldeep Yadav 2/20).

nataka brought up his maiden half-century in T20Is and remained unbeaten on 51 with four boundaries and a six studding his 36-ball innings.

The duo put together 119 runs between them off 77 deliveries after the early departure of Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Lokesh Rahul.

By the time Kohli fell to young pacer Isuru Udana — caught by Dasun Shanaka while trying to clear the mid-wicket fence — the Indians were on the threshold of victory, with 10 runs needed off nine balls.

For Sri Lanka, veteran fast bowler Lasith Malinga, Seekkuge Prasanna and Isuru Udana took a wicket each.

Rohit and Rahul had put the visitors off to a promising start.

But Rohit virtually threw away his wicket with a poorly attempted slog off Malinga, which saw Thisara Perera running in from mid-on to latch onto the skier.

Rahul departed exactly three

overs later thanks to a brilliant diving catch by Dasun Shanaka at cover off Seekkuge Prasanna’s bowling.

But that was the last bit of celebration that the Lankans will manage for a long time as Kohli and Pandey came together to ensure a comfortable victory for India.

Pandey hit the winning runs in style, hitting Thisara Perera for a boundary to the mid-off fence which also brought up his halfcentury.

Earlier, Sri Lanka rode on Dilshan Munaweera’s 29-ball brisk half century to post 170/7.

Star India wins global media rights for IPL IANS, MUMBAI

S

tar India this week bagged the Indian Premier League (IPL) media rights for TV and digital broadcast worth Rs 16,347.50 crore with a single consolidated bid worldwide during the auctions here.

Star India edged out Sony to acquire the rights from 2018 to 2022.

Initially, 24 companies picked up rights papers to contest for the several rights up for grabs in the auction organized by the BCCI. Several bigwigs of the ilk of Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, Yahoo, Reliance Jio, STAR India, Sony Pictures, Discovery, Sky, British Telecom and ESPN Digital

Media purchased the bid rights papers.

The BCCI will now earn nearly double that amount in half the duration (five years) with earnings of Rs 3,270 crore from IPL media rights per year.

The amount the BCCI will earn from an IPL match would be around Rs 55 crore compared to

Rs 43 crore for each international match that India play.

“India, cricket and IPL have changed dramatically since its inception (in 2008) and this bid is a reflection of that,” Star CEO Uday Shankar told reporters here.

The media rights include broadcast (TV) and digital (mobile and internet) for a host of segments

Venus Williams becomes oldest semi-finalist IANS, NEW YORK

S

even-time tennis Grand Slam champion Venus Williams became the oldest semifinalist in US Open history at age 37 with a 6-3, 3-6, 7-6(2) win over Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic.

Coming up next for the US ninth seed will be the clash against her 83rd-ranked compatriot Sloane Stephens, who edged past Latvian 16th seed Anastasija Sevastova 6-3, 3-6, 7-6(4), reports Xinhua news agency.

Williams, who improved to 2-4 all-time against the Czech 13th seed, will return to the world top

five for the first time since January 2011. All six of the matches between Williams and Kvitova have gone to a third set.

“I’m so fortunate to have won that match. It came down to the

wire,” Williams said. “I try to tell myself to enjoy the competition, enjoy the battle and I think I was able to do that.”

Williams gave up the first break of serve trailing at 3-1 with three double faults, but was able to reel off five straight games as Kvitova racked up too many errors.

A loose Williams game early in the second offered Kvitova the lifeline she needed and she clawed back to take the second set.

Two brilliant cross-court backhands gave Kvitova an early break in the third but Williams recovered from 3-1 down, leveling it when the Czech double-faulted.

including India, Middle East, Africa, Europe and America.

With Star India winning the rights, it is expected its digital vertical HotStar would be used for live streaming of IPL matches in India.

“Even if it was slightly less, we would not have got the rights. In every category, it was so competitive,” Shankar added.

On the popularity of the game, Shankar said: “Despite the off-field issues of BCCI, watching a cricket match in India remains an amazing experience.”

BCCI CEO Rahul Johri added: “Our main endeavour to the stakeholders was to provide a transparent process where there should not be any iota of doubt.”

Would Sharapova be booed like Gatlin?

NEW YORK: Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova’s Grand Slam return after a 15-month doping ban ended in defeat. But if the former World No.1 had the chance to win the US Open at the weekend, would she be booed when she received the trophy?

So give French Tennis Federation President Bernard Giudicelli credit for daring to say no to Sharapova at French Open.

“While there can be a wild card for return from injury, there can’t be a wild card for return from doping,” he said.

Nation mourns Lankesh’s death

A total of seven bullets were fired out of which four missed the target and hit the wall of the house. Three bullets had hit her — two in her chest area and one in the forehead

Karnataka CM orders SIT probe

S

enior Kannada journalist and social activist Gauri Lankesh was shot dead this week by unidentified men at her residence, police said. She was 55.

“She was shot dead from a close range at her house in Rajarajeshwari Nagar (in the suburbs) around 8 p.m. as she was entering the house,” Bengaluru Police Commissioner T. Suneel Kumar told reporters here.

“A total of seven bullets were fired out of which four missed the target and hit the wall of the house.

Three bullets had hit her — two in her chest area and one in the forehead,” he said.

Her brother Indrajit Lankesh demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the death.

“I don't have any words to say. It is shocking that my sister, a journalist and activist, was targeted this way,” he told reporters.

“There must be a CBI investigation into the death and there must be severe punishment for the killers,” he said.

The Commissioner meanwhile said that police have “extracted the footage from CCTVs around the house and will examine it closely”.

“We will register a case of murder under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code and set up a special team to nab her killers,” a police official told IANS. Lankesh was Editor of the weekly Kannada tabloid “Lankesh Patrika”. Karnataka's new Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy, who

BENGALURU: A Special Investigation Team will probe the killing of journalist-activist Gauri Lankesh, who was shot dead here, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said this week.

“A SIT has been formed, headed by an Inspector-General-level officer, to investigate the journalist killing,” the Chief Minister said.

Demonstrations across state

‘BJP not linked to scribe's murder’

‘Cannot tolerate Lankesh’s murder’

NEW DELHI: Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said the BJP, or any organization linked to the party were not involved in the killing of journalist Gauri Lankesh.

He also slammed the opposition and added that it was irresponsible on the part of the 'President' of another political party to blame the BJP for the crime. Gadkari also defended Prime Minister Narendra Modi against criticism on his silence over the killing.

NEW DELHI: Congress President Sonia Gandhi expressed shock and distress over the murder of senior Kannada journalist and activist Gauri Lankesh, saying “this can't and should not be tolerated”.

“Known for her fearless and independent views, Gauri Lankesh had extraordinary grit and determination to take on the system,” an All India Congress Committee (AICC) statement said quoting Gandhi.

BENGALURU: Protests erupted across Karnataka this week morning condemning the dastardly killing of senior Kannada journalist Gauri Lankesh, who was shot dead at her residence here by three unidentified men.

Journalists, activists, writers, thinkers and women organizations were seen among the crowds that gathered in the city and across the

rushed to the spot with the Police Commissioner, told reporters that the assailants probably fired seven rounds. “Within minutes, seven rounds were fired at close range.

She was attacked outside her residence. As she had not sought police protection, no security was provid-

ed to her,” Reddy said.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah condemned the crime. “Absolutely shocked to learn about the murder of renowned journalist Gauri Lankesh. I have no words to condemn this heinous crime,” he tweeted.

“Gauri was an advocate of secularism. She fought against injustice,” he told the media here.

“Police has formed three teams and begun investigations,” Siddaramaiah said, adding that he had directed police to nab the killers at the earliest.

Congress state unit chief G. Parameshwara called her death a “great loss to the community of independent journalism”. “Lost a dear friend, an accomplished journalist and a wonderful human being,” he said.

BRIEFS: Audio teaser of Pawan Kalyan’s next released CHENNAI: The audio teaser of actor Pawan Kalyan’s next yet-untitled Telugu film, being directed by Trivikram, was released recently on the occasion of the star’s 45th Pawan Kalyan birthday.

The minute-long teaser is from the recording session of a song and it features composer Anirudh Ravichander and director Trivikram.

A peppy track, it’s sung by Anirudh, marking his Telugu debut.

Also starring Keerthy Suresh and Anu Emmanuel, the film is tipped to be a romantic entertainer.

‘Spyder’ makers deny reports of footage leak CHENNAI: The makers of superstar Mahesh Babu’s upcoming TamilTelugu bilingual Spyder, gearing up for grand release this Dussehra, have Mahesh Babu rubbished reports about the leak of film’s footage.

“There’s been no footage leak.

We have ensured no such thing happens. Everything that you’re reading online or in papers is absolutely baseless,” a source from the film’s unit told IANS. Earlier this week, reports emerged that some footage including a few minutes of a song had leaked out.

ilmmaker Soundarya Rajinikanth is not sure if she will work with her father superstar Rajinikanth once again, but she considers herself extremely blessed to have directed him in her film Kochadaiiyaan.

She made her directorial debut with Kochadaiiyaan, a motioncapture animated film, in 2014.

“I consider myself blessed to have directed him once. How many people would get the opportunity to say camera, action and cut to him?

Working with him once will be a

life-long memory,” Soundarya told IANS in an interview.

Even though she doesn’t deny the possibility of working with her father again, she clarified nothing is planned as of now.

“Dad wants me to write my next film. The two films I have directed so far were written by someone else. He is encouraging me to write. I’m working on a couple of ideas but haven’t quite started writing yet,” she said.

Soundarya is basking in the success of VIP 2, which stars her brother-in-law Dhanush.

“A sequel comes with a lot of responsibility. The comparison

with the first part was inevitable but what worried us the most was that the film could bring extreme reactions — positive or negative.

Luckily, we received mostly positive feedback,” she said, extending gratitude to Dhanush for the faith he had in her.

Asked if she was intimated to work with two big stars in succession, she said: “They were not strangers to me. However, I was quite aware of their star image and respected that when I worked with them. But I was never intimated.”

She said she enjoyed working with the bigger stars because, “It gave me the opportunity to learn.”

hours before being dumped near actor-director Lal’s home, from where the police was informed.

Two of the key accused — Pulsar Suni and his accomplice

involved in the actual abduction — were arrested a week later.

The Kerala Police team while probing the conspiracy angle asked Shah and actor Dileep to appear before them.

On June 29, after a marathon 13-hour questioning, the two were let off but Dileep after another round of questioning was arrested again on July 10.

Dileep has been languishing in a sub jail near here, with three bail pleas rejected.

Both Nadir Shah and Dileep have been closely associated with each other for over thirty years.

Apart from that, Shah had been a vocal supporter of Dileep at the time he was accused of having a role in kidnapping actress.

Produced by AGS Entertainment, the film also stars Amala Paul and Prasanna as the antagonists.

‘Shubh Mangal Saavdhaan’: Get It Up With Ayushmann

I

t’s okay if you can’t get it up.

There. I said it. It’s taken Hindi cinema years and years to be liberated from the shackles of libidinous machismo. An actor called Ayushmann Khurrana has done.

He plays an ordinary guy with a routine problem with such conviction.

Ayushmann’s Mudit in Shubh Mangal Saavdhan suffers from performance anxiety whenever he tries to make out with his bride-to-be, played with spunk and spontaneity

by Bhumi Pednekar who is rapidly emerging as the voice of the mofussil woman.

In many ways, Bhumi is the hero of this remarkable film that’s even-

Their first (aborted) sexual encounter in a cramped MIG flat in Delhi with sounds of songs and everyday conversation seeping subtly into their activity is done in a lengthy flurry of furious foreplay signifying nothing. It’s a sequence filled with clumsy groping and slurply smooching played out with endearing honesty.

Another brilliantly written sequence of foiled passion has Sugandha trying to seduce Mudit at a picnic with a plunging neckline and groaning tips from an orgiastic song that goes “Come to me, Danny Boy”.

EntErtainmEnt ENTERTAINMENT Ileana Kangana have answers When scared Ajay to Hrithik queries A

K

angana Ranaut is back in the news for making comments on the legal battle with actor Hrithik Roshan last year, and demanding an apology from him and his father Rakesh Roshan. The actress says it has nothing to do with publicity stunts and she has answers to all the queries.

Kangana opened up on the controversy once again during several TV interviews.

Asked if she is talking about the controversy to grab more eyeballs before the release of her film Simran, Kangana said: “I have answers to all questions, if you ask me, I will answer them. People also asked me about Aditya Pancholi, regarding an incident that happened when I was just 16, now I am 30! If my answers trouble so many people, then don’t invite me for an interview, don’t ask me such questions,” she added.

ctress Ileana D’Cruz says she got extremely emotional and was “crying like a baby” on the last day of Baadshaho, leaving her co-star Ajay Devgn scared.

“I had put up a bunch of pictures of the last day (over social media) because I was incredibly emotional.

I think I scared the hell out of Ajay because I was crying so much. And they were just like, ‘What’s wrong with you?’ I was crying like a baby. I have never cried that much in my entire life on a set,” Ileana said on TV show Yaar Mere Superstar Season 2.

She was joined by Ajay, Esha Gupta and Emraan Hashmi on the show.

“Like on other sets, one or two tears come out, but this was like sobbing like ‘I don’t wanna go’. Yeah, I had palpitations two days before. I was like s**t,” Ileana added.

Bhumi says no to TV as of now

A

ctress Bhumi Pednekar, who has featured in a short film themed love and lust helmed by Zoya Akhtar, doesn’t want to work on the small screen right now as she wanted to be a part of Hindi filmdom all her life.

When asked would she like to work on the small screen after working in a short film in a digital medium, she told IANS over phone from Mumbai, “I think eventually. Not right now. It’s just films for me right now. This is what I wanted to do all my life and I am very happy with the kind of work I am getting.”

The actress, 27, is currently seen on the big screen in R.S. Prassana’s Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, which deals with the topic of erectile dysfunction.

Migraine is a serious and debilitating neurological disease affecting one billion people worldwide.

The findings showed that the genetics of circadian rhythms has an effect on migraine and that people with the CLOCK gene variant

have more migraines under financial stress. The CLOCK gene has an important role in regulating many rhythmic patterns of the body, including body temperature or level of cortisol — the primary stress hormone.

Though the researchers did not find a significant direct connection between the gene and migraine when they factored in financial stress, they found that the investigated gene variants increased the odds of having migraine type

ver wondered why even if we are not tired, we yawn if someone else does?

It is because the human propensity for contagious yawning is triggered automatically by primitive reflexes in a brain area responsible for motor function, a research suggests. Contagious yawning is triggered involuntarily when we observe another person yawn — it is a common form of echophenomena — the automatic imitation of another’s words (echolalia) or actions (echopraxia).

The findings showed that our

urge to yawn is increased if we are instructed to resist yawning. And no matter how hard we try to stifle a yawn, it might change how we yawn but it won’t alter our propensity to yawn. “This research has shown that the ‘urge’ is increased

by trying to stop yourself. Using electrical stimulation we were able to increase excitability and in doing so increase the propensity for contagious yawning,” said Georgina Jackson, a Professor at the University of Nottingham.

“The findings may be important in understanding association between motor excitability and the occurrence of echophenomena in a wide range of conditions linked to increased cortical excitability and/or decreased physiological inhibition such as epilepsy, dementia, autism, and Tourette syndrome,” added Stephen Jackson, a Professor at the varsity.

For the study, the researchers examined more than 100 million Norwegian prescriptions registered since 2004.

“Our analysis of data from the whole Norwegian population has been decisive for the conclusion in this study,” Riise said.

In the study, the treatment of Parkinson’s was linked to prescriptions of asthma medicine and the medicine for high blood pressure.

The Norwegian analysis was done after researchers at Harvard University found these effects of the medicines in animal tests and in experiments with brain cells in the lab.

To find out if these medicines had the same effect on humans, the researchers at Harvard University started to collaborate with the Norwegian research team.

Lack of circadian sleep leads to ADHD: Study IANS, LONDON

L

ADHD, which is associated with many sleep-related disorders, including restless-leg syndrome, sleep apnea, circadian rhythm dis-

turbance and delayed sleep phase syndrome, was until now thought to be separate issues.

“There is extensive research showing that people with ADHD also tend to exhibit sleep problems,” said Sandra Kooij, Associate Professor at VU University Medical Centre in Netherlands.

NEW YORK: An existing drug may one day protect premenopausal women from infertility that commonly follows cancer treatments, new research has found.

Women who are treated for cancer with radiation or certain chemotherapy drugs are commonly rendered sterile.

Women are born with a lifetime reserve of oocytes, or immature eggs, but those oocytes are among the most sensitive cells in the body and may be wiped out by such cancer treatments.

The new findings, published in the journal Genetics, raises hope of curbing infertility from cancer treatment.

The study builds on his 2014 research that identified a so-called checkpoint protein (CHK2) that becomes activated when oocytes are damaged by radiation.

Checkpoint protein functions in a pathway that eliminates oocytes with DNA damage, a natural function to protect against giving birth to offspring bearing new mutations.

When the researchers irradiated mice lacking the CHK2 gene, the oocytes survived, eventually repaired the DNA damage, and the mice gave birth to healthy pups.

The new study explored whether the checkpoint 2 pathway could be chemically inhibited.

E-cigarette ban harmful for smokers RACHEL V. THOMAS, NEW DELHI

B

anning e-cigarettes may deprive Indian smokers of a substantially less harmful alternative, which can be against public health and can result in adverse consequences, experts have warned. Some states in India, including Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, Punjab, Maharashtra and Kerala, have prohibited sales of e-cigarettes, while tobacco cigarettes remain legal.

According to media reports, the Union Health Ministry has recently ruled out acceptability of e-cigarettes in the light of research findings by experts who concluded that they have cancer-causing properties, are highly addictive, and do not offer a safer alternative to

tobacco-based smoking products.

However, health experts argued that such decision creates a paradox.

The government is allowing the sales of lethal nicotine-containing products — tobacco cigarettes — while banning a substantially less harmful alternative.

“In my opinion, banning e-ciga-

rettes is against public health. I think it’s going to have an impending adverse consequence, because the ban will deprive Indian smokers of a substantially less harmful alternative,” Konstantinos E. Farsalinos a research fellow at the Onassis Cardiac Surgery Centre in Athens, Greece, told IANS in an interview.

“Banning is a hasty decision and can be counter-productive, because we are not aware of the extent of ecigarette use or its harm in India,” added R.N. Sharan, Professor at North-Eastern Hill University in Shillong, Meghalaya.

An e-cigarette is a battery-operated device with a liquid "e-liquid" that may contain nicotine, as well as varying compositions of flavorings, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, and other ingredients.

Nightmare for Dreamers as Trump ends DACA

BY A STAFF WRITER ASHINGTON, DC -- President Trump on September 5 ordered an end to the Obama-era executive action that shields young undocumented immigrants from deportation and called on Congress to replace the policy with legislation before it fully expires on March 5, 2018.

The government will no longer accept new applications from undocumented immigrants to shield them from deportation under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), administration officials announced.

But they said that about 800,000 current beneficiaries of the program will not be immediately affected by what they called an “orderly wind down” of former President Barack Obama’s policy.

President Trump signaled the move in a tweet, then Attorney General Jeff Sessions formally announced the move to shift the responsibility for the immigration issue to lawmakers.

“The DACA that was effectuated under the Obama administration is being rescinded,” Sessions told reporters, adding that “The policy was implemented unilaterally, to great controversy and legal concern.”

Sessions called the Obama-era policy an “open-ended circumvention of immigration laws” and an unconstitutional use of executive authority. “The executive branch through DACA deliberately sought to achieve what the legislative branch specifically refused to authorize on multiple occasions,” he said.

Elaine Duke, the acting Homeland Security secretary, said in a statement that Trump chose to “wind the program down in an orderly fashion that protects beneficiaries in the near-term while working with Congress to pass legislation.”

The announcement was an effort by Trump to honor his campaign pledge to end Obama’s immigration policy, while avoiding an immediate termination of protections and work permits for the so-called “dreamers,” many of whom have lived in the US since they were small children.

Referring to Trump’s campaign promise to immediately terminate DACA, Sessions said the latest action was what “the President had promised to do,” adding that Trump “has delivered to the American people.”

But the announcement formally started the clock on revoking legal status from those

protected under the five-year-old program.

Officials said some of the current immigrants already receiving protection under the Obamaera plan will be able to renew their two-year period of legal status until October 5. But the announcement means that if Congress fails to act, undocumented immigrants who were brought to the US as children could face deportation as early as March to countries where many of them have never lived.

Immigration officials said that they do not intend to actively target the young immigrants as priorities for deportation, though without the program’s protection, the immigrants are considered subject to removal from the United States and would no longer be able to work legally.

Homeland Security officials said no specific guidance would be issued to agents to shield the young undocumented immigrants from deportation. It would be up to Congress to extend such protection, they said.

Still, the President was conflicted until the end about how to address the plight of dreamers, waffling repeatedly in recent days about how to phase out the program.

As late as one hour before the decision was to be announced, administration officials privately expressed concern that Trump might not fully grasp the details of the steps he was about to take, and when he discovered their full impact, would change his mind, according to sources.

Trump’s action is certain to be met with condemnation from immigration advocacy groups, who have characterized it as a coldhearted move that would yield no benefit to the nation

while endangering nearly a million young people raised in the US who are seeking to work and pay taxes.

One such group, United We Dream, tweeted back at Trump, urging him not to take action against DACA. The President’s move is also likely to be greeted with skepticism and frustration by many of his most conservative supporters, who had expected that Trump would put a permanent end to what they view as an illegal abuse of executive authority by former President Barack Obama to grant amnesty to undocumented immigrants.

And it is unclear whether the Republicancontrolled Congress will be willing to pass legislative protections for the young, undocumented immigrants. Republicans have repeatedly blocked similar legislation from passage for more than a decade.

Speaker Paul Ryan recently suggested that he believes Congress should handle the issue, saying that “this is something that Congress has to fix.”

But more conservative members of Ryan’s caucus are certain to oppose such moves, supported by loud, anti-immigrant hawks who dominate talk radio and conservative news programs.

Even in the bitter immigration debates of the past decade, children who were illegally brought to the US at young ages by their parents, and who graduated from high school or sought to enter the military, have held a sympathetic place in the conversation.

They were branded as Dreamers for their inspiring personal stories and regarded by

members of both parties as deserving of a special status. Opinion polls have found the public overwhelmingly supports granting them some form of legal standing that allows them to stay and work in the country where they were raised.

Trump, who made his hard-line immigration stance a calling card of his presidential campaign, savaged Obama for taking executive action in 2012 to protect Dreamers, calling his action unconstitutional and illegal, and vowing to immediately terminate the program if he won the White House.

But Obama made a personal appeal to his successor about the program and said it was one of the few initiatives he would speak out to defend after leaving office. And after being sworn in, Trump began to equivocate, musing aloud about the fate of “these incredible kids,” and promising to deal with them with “great heart” even as his core supporters complained that he was betraying an important campaign promise.

In recent weeks, his dilemma has grown more dramatic, after 10 state attorneys general wrote to Sessions, threatening to mount a legal challenge to DACA unless the administration phased out the program by September 5.

In a recent meeting at the White House, Sessions informed Trump he would not defend what he considered an unconstitutional order in court, and numerous officials at the White House and the Department of Homeland Security made the case to the President that his administration would look foolish if it argued in favor of preserving it.

In June, the administration ended a similar program Obama created in 2014 to expand eligibility for DACA and give legal status to as many as five million parents of citizens and legal permanent residents. That order was blocked by a legal challenge by the State of Texas, and the Supreme Court announced last year that it had deadlocked on the case, 4 to 4.

The attorneys general said if Trump did not take similar action to terminate DACA, they would amend the Texas lawsuit to include it and work to have a court overturn the program along with the other two.

As rumors about Trump’s impending move to end DACA ran rampant in recent days, advocacy groups and progressive activists agitated strongly against the decision, warning that it would be particularly divisive in the wake of the racially charged violence in Charlottesville, Va., last month.

Statement by Treasurer Summers on DACA Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi on DACA

BY A STAFF WRITER ASHINGTON, DC- The President Has Refused To Protect Dreamers So Now Congress Must Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi released the following statement in response to the Trump administration’s decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program: “Through this announcement, the President has made clear that he refuses to protect Dreamers and so now Congress must.

The Administration’s cruel policy includes a six-month phase-out of the DACA program, and Congress must pass legislation to extend this program and protect Dreamers.

This issue is personal for me because I too was brought to the United States by my parents as a child. The hope for a better a life which carried my parents here was no different from that of the parents of Dreamers, and generations of immigrants before.

In Illinois, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program has allowed thousands of young people to live, work, and serve our country without fear of deportation. They have built businesses,

CHICAGO,IL – “President Trump’s repugnant decision to end DACA threatens the immigrant tradition that makes America exceptional and betrays more than 800,000 young adults and children who are essential to the economic and social fabric of our communities.

By forcing hundreds of thousands of young people to fear removal from their homes, President Trump has again shown his willingness to treat our most vulnerable populations with cruelty.

We can and must do better. In Chicago, we will redouble our efforts and continue to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with young Dreamers – and with all communities under the threat by the Trump Administration’s agenda. Further, I call on Congress to pass the Dream Act of 2017, spearheaded by Senators Dick Durbin and Lindsey Graham, so dreamers have the safety and security they deserve in the only country they have ever known as home.”

Through this action, the Administration is turning its back on some of our country’s best and brightest. Stripping 780,000 Dreamers of their DACA status will cost our economy nearly half a trillion dollars over 10 years while robbing our country of thousands of entrepreneurs and contributors at leading companies.

I urge the President and Speaker Ryan to stand with Dreamers and work with Democrats and Republicans in Congress to pass commonsense, compassionate, and comprehensive immigration reform. The Dreamers deserve to stay.

Dr Arun Aggarwal

BY A STAFF WRITER AYTON, OH -- An Indian American physician has been arrested on charges of gross sexual imposition for allegedly groping the breasts of two teenagers during examinations.

Pediatric gastroenterologist Arun Aggarwal, who practised at the Dayton Children’s Hospital in Dayton, Ohio, pleaded not guilty to the charges at his arraignment on August 31, which was conducted via video from Montgomery County, Ohio jail.

He is being held on $500,000 bail, and has been ordered to surrender his passport.

Aggarwal was arrested when he flew from Cleveland, Ohio, to Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C., to catch a connecting flight to India. He was held at Loudon County Jail in Virginia without bail before being extradited back to Ohio.

Aggarwal has been charged with four felony counts of gross sexual imposition. He has told the Ohio State Medical Examiners Board that he touched the breasts of the girls as part of his examinations.

Nightmare for Dreamers as Trump ends DACA

BY A STAFF WRITER ASHINGTON, DC -- President Trump on September 5 ordered an end to the Obama-era executive action that shields young undocumented immigrants from deportation and called on Congress to replace the policy with legislation before it fully expires on March 5, 2018.

The government will no longer accept new applications from undocumented immigrants to shield them from deportation under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), administration officials announced.

But they said that about 800,000 current beneficiaries of the program will not be immediately affected by what they called an “orderly wind down” of former President Barack Obama’s policy.

President Trump signaled the move in a tweet, then Attorney General Jeff Sessions formally announced the move to shift the responsibility for the immigration issue to lawmakers.

“The DACA that was effectuated under the Obama administration is being rescinded,” Sessions told reporters, adding that “The policy was implemented unilaterally, to great controversy and legal concern.”

Sessions called the Obama-era policy an “open-ended circumvention of immigration laws” and an unconstitutional use of executive authority. “The executive branch through DACA deliberately sought to achieve what the legislative branch specifically refused to authorize on multiple occasions,” he said.

Elaine Duke, the acting Homeland Security secretary, said in a statement that Trump chose to “wind the program down in an orderly fashion that protects beneficiaries in the near-term while working with Congress to pass legislation.”

The announcement was an effort by Trump to honor his campaign pledge to end Obama’s immigration policy, while avoiding an immediate termination of protections and work permits for the so-called “dreamers,” many of whom have lived in the US since they were small children.

Referring to Trump’s campaign promise to immediately terminate DACA, Sessions said the latest action was what “the President had promised to do,” adding that Trump “has delivered to the American people.”

But the announcement formally started the clock on revoking legal status from those

protected under the five-year-old program.

Officials said some of the current immigrants already receiving protection under the Obamaera plan will be able to renew their two-year period of legal status until October 5. But the announcement means that if Congress fails to act, undocumented immigrants who were brought to the US as children could face deportation as early as March to countries where many of them have never lived.

Immigration officials said that they do not intend to actively target the young immigrants as priorities for deportation, though without the program’s protection, the immigrants are considered subject to removal from the United States and would no longer be able to work legally.

Indian cab driver knifed to death

Man illegally hires immigrants, jailed

K

Coleman.

A teenager from Puyallup was arrested on August 29 in connection with the killing of the Spokane cab driver in North Idaho.

Coleman, 19, has been identified as the only suspect in a bizarre series of events that led to the young cabbie being stabbed to death in the small town of Kootenai, Idaho. Coleman has been arrested and is facing charges of firstdegree murder.

Coleman flew from Seattle to Spokane with the intention of starting a new semester at Gonzaga University but was denied entry.

He became angry and began to have homicidal thoughts following the interaction with Gonzaga staff.

Gagandeep Singh

Sanjay Gupta

He hailed a cab from Spokane International Airport and asked to be driven to a fictitious friend’s house in eastern Bonner County, Idaho. During the drive, Coleman’s thoughts became increasingly homicidal.

In Ponderay, Idaho, Coleman asked Singh to stop at a local store, where he purchased a knife and then re-entered the cab. He directed the driver farther east to look for the nonexistent destination.

BY A STAFF WRITER ORDS, NJ — A 51-year-old Indian American man in New Jersey is going to federal prison for six months for his conviction on a charge he illegally hired 12 immigrants to work at his technology company.

The Vermont office of the United States Attorney said that Sanjay Gupta, of Fords, N.J., was sentenced on August 29. He pleaded guilty to the charge last year.

Prosecutors say Gupta filed documents to bring the workers to the US so they could work at his company, Iselin, N.J.-based Doon Technologies, promising to pay them within 30 days.

But prosecutors say the immigrants worked outside New Jersey and they were only paid when work was available.

Additionally, court documents reflect that Gupta submitted fraudulent documentation to USCIS to obtain H-1B visas, specifically by forging fictitious contracts with purported customers in an effort to demonstrate that work would be available for foreign workers when they began work for Doon Technologies, the attorney’s office said.

Court documents also reflect that Gupta demanded that prospective H-1B visa beneficiaries pay Gupta an illegal fee for submitting the H-1B visa applications to USCIS. Gupta also demanded that H-1B visa beneficiaries pay him hundreds of dollars to retain their visas, or risk deportation.

Gupta must also reimburse the $14,200 he was paid by some of the workers, as well as a $10,000 fine.

Suspect Jacob Coleman

Deputies said that when it became apparent Coleman did not have a real location in mind, Singh stopped the cab near the intersection of Spokane Street and East Railroad Avenue in Kootenai, where he was stabbed to death using the knife Coleman purchased earlier.

‘Disobedient’ Indian wife is tortured

BY A STAFF WRITER IVERVIEWS, FL -- An elderly couple who flew from India to “counsel and discipline” their daughterin-law at their son’s request, were arrested September 1 for allegedly abusing the young woman and holding her hostage in her Riverview, Florida, home.

Jasbinder Kalsi, 67, and Bhupinder Kalsi, 61, along with their son, 33-year-old Devbir Kalsi, were arrested by deputies from Hillsboro County Sheriff’s Department, and are currently being held in Hillsboro County Jail without bail.

Deputies described the victim, 33-yearold Silky Gaind, as “badly beaten and bruised over her entire body” from alleged beatings by her husband and his parents. They said the beatings had “been ongoing for an extended period of time.”

The sheriff ’s department was alerted to the alleged ongoing battery after Gaind called her parents in India to tell them she was being abused. Her parents called law enforcement authorities in Florida to report the alleged abuse.

The son’s parents had traveled from India to “counsel and discipline” Gaind at their son’s request. Devbir Kalsi had told his parents that his wife was being disobedient. While the alleged beatings by her husband continued, Gaind was held against her will by his parents.

According to an arrest report, Devbir Kalsi and his wife got into an argument on the night of September 1, during which he reportedly struck her repeatedly. When Gaind, who gave

R

(L-R) Devbir Kalsi, Jasbinder Kalsi & Bhupinder Kalsi

birth just months earlier, tried to defend herself, Devbir Kalsi’s parents allegedly began hitting her, too, causing bruises on her face, neck and torso before Jasbir Kalsi threatened to stab her with a kitchen knife.

Gaind was holding the couple’s infant girl, who was hit in the face before being put in a separate room. Deputies said Devbir Kalsi later dragged his wife into another room after taking her phone, and his parents locked her inside.

Sheriff’s deputies arrived early September 2 to the home and repeatedly knocked on the door, but received no answer. Finally, Gaind opened the door and screamed for help for herself and her young child. A deputy pushed

the door open, as Devbir Kalsi tried to push it closed.

Deputies attempted to arrest Devbir, but Jasbir intervened, followed by Bhupinder.

Devbir and Jasbir Kalsi face charges of false imprisonment, child abuse and denying access to 911. Devbir Kalsi faces an additional charge of felony battery, and Jasbir Kalsi is accused of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

Bhupinder Kalsi faces charges of battery domestic violence and failure to report child abuse.

Gaind and her 1-year-old child, who was found unharmed, have been moved to a safe place.

Seventh grader wins table tennis tourney

BY A STAFF WRITER AN RAMON, CA -- Windemere Ranch Middle School seventh grader Rudra Shikhare on August 19 emerged as the champion at the USA Table Tennissanctioned Sacramento Summer Fun Open table tennis tournament.

Shikhare won the tournament’s level 650 Round Robin, winning the championship match 3 games to 2.

The Indian American youngster also played the Under-500 Round Robin and took second place.

The middle schooler began playing table tennis in league play only a year ago. The Sacramento tournament, held at Inderkum High School, was his first competitive experience.

Indian motel owner lies to Labor Dept

BY A STAFF WRITER ATTLE CREEK, MI -- Mehul Patel, 31, a motel owner in Battle Creek, Michigan has been ordered to pay $150,500 in restitution Mehul ‘Mike’ Chandubhai Patel to 20 former employees as the last portion of his sentence for lying to Labor Department investigators during a probe of his alleged violation of minimum wage laws.

Patel and the government has reached an agreement on the amount, according to US Attorney Andrew Birge who called for an immediate payment by Patel and no further action by the government to seek back wages from Patel either in criminal or civil court.

Patel was arrested on November 5, 2015, following a raid at his Rodeway Inn by officers of the Battle Creek Police Department and other officials who searched his another property, Super 8 Motel in Coldwater, as well as at the banks where Patel had accounts.

He was then charged with fraud along with operating a prostitution house after the police suspected that sex workers were using his motel for their business and he was taking money from them in return.
