SC refuses to stay CAA, NPR Gives Centre four weeks to respond to petitions NEW DELHI, JAN 22 (PTI): Making clear it will not stay the Citizenship (Amendment) Act without hearing the Centre, the Supreme Court on Wednesday gave the government four weeks to respond to petitions challenging the CAA and said a five-judge Constitution bench will hear the matter. Hearing a batch of 143 petitions, an apex court bench headed by Chief Justice S A Bobde issued notice to the Centre and restrained all high courts from hearing pleas on the CAA till it decides on the pleas. The bench, also comprising Justices S Abdul Nazeer and Sanjiv Khanna, said it will hear the petitions pertaining to Assam and Tripura separately as the problem with the CAA in these two states is different from rest of the country. “The matter is uppermost in everybody’s mind. We will form a five-judge

NH-39 bypass: DC Dmu warns encroachers

DIMAPIIR, JAN 22 (NPN): The deputy commissioner (DC) Dimapur has taken note of some individuals illegally constructing temporary structures and concrete pillars over a land covered by Dag Nos 15, 16, 76, 307, 1154 and 1150 of Block No. 3 and 52, 61, 247, 72247 of Block No. 11, which has been acquired by state government for extension of NH-39 bypass from Amar Flour Mill to New Dhansiri Bridge. In a notice, DC Dimapur, Anoop Khinchi, has, therefore, directed the responsible individuals to restrain and refrain themselves from carrying out any further illegal developmental activities. The responsible individuals have also been directed to dismantle and remove any temporary structures on the same. Further, the response individuals have been directed to produce documents, if any, in support of their claim over the Public land within a period of 15 days from the date of publication of the notice. In the event of failure of the concerned parties to comply with the notice, DC said his office would be constrained to proceed for eviction.

bench and then list the case,” the court said. Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for some petitioners, said the issue be referred to a Constitution bench and the NPR exercise be postponed by a couple of months. He also urged the bench to put on hold the operationalisation of the CAA. The bench said, “Even we think that the matter should be heard by a Constitution bench.” Asserting that it will not grant any stay on the CAA without hearing the Centre on the matter, it said, “Will pass order on granting any interim relief to petitioner opposing CAA after four weeks.” The court also made it clear it will not pass any exparte order without hearing the Centre on staying the operation of the CAA and exercise of the National Population Register (NPR). It said the earlier cut off date for citizenship in Assam was March 24, 1971 and noted that it has been extended till December 31, 2014 under the CAA. The petitions concerning Tripura and Assam as well as the matters related

to Uttar Pradesh, which is going ahead with the implementation of CAA without framing any rules, can be dealt with separately, the bench said. The bench said it will decide in-chamber the modalities of hearing the batch of petitions on the CAA and may fix them for day-to-day hearing after four weeks. Attorney General K K Venugopal, appearing for the Centre, told the bench the government has been given copies of around 60 pleas out of the 143 petitions. He said it wanted time to respond to all the pleas. The CAA seeks to grant citizenship to migrants belonging to the Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Christian, Jain and Parsi communities who came to the country from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan on or before December 31, 2014. President Ram Nath Kovind gave his assent to the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2019 on December 12, turning it into an Act. Several petitions have been filed challenging the constitutional validity of the CAA. Among those who have filed pleas are the In-

dian Union Muslim League (IUML), Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, RJD leader Manoj Jha, Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra and AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi. The IUML said in its plea that the CAA violates the fundamental Right to Equality and intends to grant citizenship to a section of illegal immigrants by making an exclusion on the basis of religion. The petition had alleged that the government’s CAA was against the basic structure of the Constitution and intended to explicitly discriminate against Muslims as the Act extended benefits only to Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians. The plea filed by Ramesh said the Act is a “brazen attack” on core fundamental rights envisaged under the Constitution and treats “equals as unequal”. The other petitioners include the Jamiat Ulamai-Hind, the All Assam Students Union (AASU), the Peace Party, the CPI, NGOs Rihai Manch and Citizens Against Hate, advocate M L Sharma, and law students.

Colleges, university remain shut against CAA Correspondent/Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR/KOHIMA, JAN 22 (NPN): Along with other North Eastern States, colleges and universities across Nagaland remain closed on Wednesday in response to the call of All Nagaland College Students’ Union (ANCSU) for a total shutdown against the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). The entire programme passed of peacefully without report of any untoward incident anywhere. Over a thousand students from St Joseph’s College, Jakhama gathered outside Raj Bhavan at Kohima to protest against CAA, which was spearheaded by Students’ Council, the apex student body of the college. The students first gathered outside Kohima Law College and marched towards Raj Bhavan. However, the rally had to be shortly called off by the district administration as the student body failed to obtain prior permission from the authority concerned to hold the protest. Speaking to media persons after the protest was called off, Students’ Council president Chumtiba S Sangtam said “We organised this

peaceful rally because we are strongly against CAA. It is injustice. It is against the constitution and is religious injustice”. He alleged that the Act would only protect people from outside and suggested that it must protect the nation. “If the government does not follow the constitution, we must not follow the government. If the government is not for the people, the people should not support the government,” he declared, adding that Inner Line Permit (ILP) was not strong enough to protect Nagaland from CAA. Ghuvika Yeptho, a sixth semester student, told reporters, “We have a small railway line in Nagaland, but there are already so many illegal immigrants coming in.” Stating that the State could not be a dumping ground for illegal immigrants, he said “Slowly, our identity and our culture will be at stake and one day we might lose everything. And I know that I am standing for the right cause.” Later speaking to Nagaland Post, ANCSU president Vimeyiekho Vitso claimed the response to the call for total shutdown of colleges across the

NFR concerned over land encroachment PAC serves ultimatum to revoke DMC lease system

Sanjiv Roy with railway officials and NRCUN members in Dimapur, Wednesday.

Staff Reporter Dimapur, Jan 22 (NPN): Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) general manager, Sanjiv Roy has expressed regret that encroachment on railway land in Dimapur has hampered development of the NFR’s second highest revenue generating - Dimapur railway station. Roy said this Wednesday during his visit to Dimapur railway station to inspect various facilities and inaugurate various developmental projects. He however expressed the hope that through cooperation from government, civil society groups and general public towards betterment of Dimapur railway station, more development activities could be ushered to make the station among the

most developed in the region. It may be mentioned, that Dimapur railway station handles not less than around five thousand passengers a day. Passengers are in dire need of seats but instead, NFR provides hardly 600 seats for around 5000 passengers. Encroachment has restricted the width of Platform No.2 to just six meters while the required space is nine meters in order to construct a canopy over the platform. The narrow width causes severe constriction during rush hour made worse when cargo goods are dumped on the platform. During summer and winter, passengers are subjected to the mercy of the weather. The encroachment has also restricted development of passenger utility areas at the front where two mandirs have come up along with a guest house. The Nagaland Railway Contractors Union (NRCUN) also submitted a representation to the GM for upgradation and development of the railway station. NRCUN through its present Niuto Awomi and general secretary Mughaho Zhimomi, urged upon NFR to construct a new station building with bigger and better facilities for passengers. The Union also asked NFR to deal with encroachment issue with severity in order to clear that path for developmental activities and also strengthen security within the railway premises.

D I M A P UR , J A N 2 2 (NPN): Vehemently condemning the government for reintroducing the lease system 2019-2020, the Public Action Committee (PAC) of Naga Council Dimapur (NCD) has served a 10-day ultimatum (with effect from January 20, 2020) to revoke the lease system.

KU (B) Tobu refutes charges

DIMAPUR, JAN 22 (NPN): Konyak Union Tobu branch – KU (B) Tobu – claimed that apex NGO leaders, student leaders and village councils of Tobu-Mopong on January 20 unanimously resolved to boycott the Republic Day function and statement was issued in this regard with the consent of majority of people.

Reacting to a press release of Angjangyang Ad hoc Town Committee chairman H Wanme that accused KU (B) Tobu of interfering in the administrative set up of Angjangyang, the union explained that the demand of Tobu-Mopong public to retain Mopong EAC under Tobu ADC concerned the State government and not to any individual/organisa(Cont’d on p-7) tion.

collection of money under guise of lease system. PAC also said the excuse that lessees collect higher revenue than the DMC staff was not justifiable and unreasonable. PAC said it could justify that doing away the lease system have reduced the cost of commodities in the past when PAC conducted “Operation Check gate’ in 2019. Therefore, PAC said it cannot accept the lease system imposed on the people of Dimapur which directly and indirectly affects the whole state. Failure to comply with its demand, PAC, which comprises of all Naga Tribal Hohos and non-local communities, said it would take up any drastic action for which the municipal affairs department and DMC shall be held solely responsible.

NPCC slams state BJP chief’s stand on CAA DIMAPUR, JAN 22 (NPN): Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has criticized the statements of BJP Nagaland president Temjen Imna Along in supporting Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019. In a statement, Communications department of Congress reiterated that Along was wrong to assert that Nagaland was a Sixth Schedule state. Congress said it only exposed Along’s ignorance and also eagerness “indulge in talking without ascertaining facts” which was “unbecoming of a person holding high position in party as well as in the State government”. Congress said “half truths and whole lies had become the hallmark of BJP to force its divisive agenda on the people” and said the ruling party at the

dents’ Federation and North East Student’s Organisation in this regard. Reacting to Union home minister Amit Shah’s statement that despite protest the Act would not be scrapped, Vitso said “We are left clueless because when our leaders are not listening

Centre politicised CAA by making religion as the basis for citizenship and striking at the very idea of a liberal and pluralistic India. NPCC accused BJP of giving false assurances that ILP safeguarded Nagaland from CAA. It said the same assurance was made to J&K political leaders that Article 370 will not be touched. However, it said 48 hours prior to revocation on August 5, 2019 all these political leaders of J&K were placed under detention. Congress pointed out that despite ILP being in force in Nagaland for several decades, it has not been able to check influx of illegal immigrants. Thus, it said the fallout of CAA and NRC in neighbouring Assam and other parts of the country will surely (Cont’d on p-7)

NEW DELHI, JAN 22 (PTI): The Supreme Court on Wednesday said that Assam’s problem is different from rest of the country as the earlier cut off date for citizenship was March 24, 1971, which under the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) has been extended to December 31, 2014. The top court agreed to hear the petitions concerning issues of Assam and Tripura separately from the batch of petitions challenging constitutional validity of the CAA. A bench of Chief Justice S A Bobde and Justices S Abdul Nazeer and Sanjiv Khanna said, “The petitions concerning Assam and Tripura as well as the matters related to Uttar Pradesh, which is going ahead with the implementation of CAA without framing any rules, can be dealt with separately”. It observed that “Assam’s problem is different from rest of the country as the earlier cut off date for citizenship was March 24, 1971, which under the CAA has been extended to December 31, 2014”. During the hearing of total 143 petitions which had challenged constitu-

tional validity of CAA, senior advocate Vikas Singh, appearing for petitioners challenging the process of grant of citizenship under the CAA to 40 lakhs Bengali Hindus who had migrated from Bangladesh to Assam and Tripura, said the Act will create a peculiar situation as huge agitations are going on in these states. He said the operation of CAA be stayed as it even violated Assam Accord of 1985, which fixes cut of date for grant of citizenship as March 24, 1971. “Assam is facing a peculiar situation due to the migrants coming from Bangladesh as earlier cut off date for grant of citizenship was 1950, then cut of date

was extended to March 24, 1971. This extension has been challenged before the apex court and the matter is pending,” he said. Attorney General K K Venugopal, appearing for the Centre, intervened and urged the Court to hear petitions relating to Assam separately from a batch of antiCAA petitions and assured the court that the exercise of Assam National Register of Citizenship (NRC) will not be complete until the national list is published by the Registrar General of India. He said the recently concluded Assam NRC exercise, which was monitored by the apex court, will not be complete unless the final list is published.

AR dismisses Manipur Imphal JNIMS doctors on strike IPS officer’s allegation demanding removal of director

IMPHAL, JAN 22 (PTI): The Assam Rifles (AR) has termed a woman IPS officer’s allegations that she was assaulted and molested by a rifleman at a Manipur check post as “baseless, fabricated and malicious” and accused her of illegally entering Myanmar and purchasing unidentified goods there. However, AR assured to investigate the matter and ensure a “free and fair trial”. Based on a written complaint of the IPS officer, police has registered an FIR against rifleman P K Pandey for allegedly physically assaulting and molesting the woman at the Khudengtabi check post in Tengnoupal district while she was returning from the India-Myanmar border on January 19. The state women commission has summoned the rifleman to appear before it on or before January 27 and forwarded the woman’s complaint to the National Commission for Women and the Chief Minister’s Office. Chief Minister N Biren Singh has said that as an FIR has been lodged, Assam Rifles has been asked to hand over the rifleman as per law. “We will take legal actions,” he said. The paramilitary force,

in a statement issued on Tuesday evening, said, on January 19, the IPS officer’s car had bypassed vehicle scanning and jumped the queue at the check post. The vehicle was stopped by AR troops and the passengers were asked for their identification which is routine at the check post, the statement said. “The woman along with her armed male escorts, all in civil dress, started arguing in an ignoble and indecorous language. This was possibly with an aim to avoid checking of unidentified and suspicious stores loaded in the vehicle,” it said. The statement said that despite repeated requests, the woman refused to divulge her identification and told the troops, “Don’t you know me?”. She then started clicking pictures which was objected to by Rifleman P K Pandey as photographing such a sensitive check post is prohibited, it said. It said that two senior Assam Rifles officers had requested her to resolve the matter amicably to which she replied, “Jawan ko mere saamne jhukaake dus joote maaro toh main apology accept karungi (I will only accept the apology if the jawan is hit with shoes)”.

The police said they are now working to get Interpol to issue a Red Corner Notice, a global arrest warrant, against Nithyananda. The Gujarat Police had registered an FIR against Nithyananda after two girls went missing from his ashram in Ahmedabad. He was charged with kidnapping and wrongful confinement of children to make them collect donations from followers to run his ashram. Nithyananda was earlier declared wanted by the Gujarat Police. While police continue to look for him, reports emerged in December last year that he has created a Hindu nation, Kailaasa, with its own flag and political setup, on an island near Ecuador.

The TMC supremo also slammed the saffron party for making references to Pakistan, which she said is a ploy to divert public attention from issues like economic slowdown and growing unemployment. “Are you people (BJP) Indians or ambassadors of Pakistan? If someone protest against them, they will brand them Pakistani. If someone says we don’t have industries, they will say go to Pakistan,” she told a thundering crowd. Darjeeling Lok Sabha constituency, which encompasses both the hills and parts of the plains including Siliguri, has been with the BJP since 2009. Baner jee, who has been at the forefront of the anti-CAA agitations, led ten protest marches and addressed six rallies in various parts of the state since the issue snowballed into a major political firestorm last December. Her government has also decided to bring in a resolution against the CAA in the assembly on January 27, following such moves by Kerala and Punjab.

BEIJING, JAN 22 (PTI): A large number of Indian students in the Chinese city of Wuhan, the epicentre of the new SARS-like virus which rattled China and the world with its sheer virulence, kept an anxious watch on the situation as local officials on Wednesday asked people to stop travelling in and out of the city. The bustling central Chinese city of about 11.5 million people with beautiful parks and lakes has overnight turned into a city of nightmare as nine people died and over 440 people admitted to hospitals with quarantine facilities. Wu h a n b e c a m e a household name in India for being the venue of the historic first informal summit between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Xi Jinping in 2018. It is also home to about 700 Indians, mostly students. Over 500 Indian students are studying medicine while others were pursuing Ph.D and language programmes. China has become a major destination for Indian medical students with their numbers sharply increasing to 23,000 in the

last few years. While most of the Indian students left for home in the second week of this month after completion of the exams, others remained in the city to complete their academic work.“Basically, do not go to Wuhan. And those in Wuhan please do not leave the city,” National Health Commission ViceMinister Li Bin told journalists here on Wednesday. Fo r e i g n M i n i s t r y spokesman Geng Shuang said that there is no ban on people leaving and entering Wuhan, while the officials have stepped up monitoring measures like screening people at most of the crowded places. Curtailing the movement of people appears to be the main task for the Chinese officials as all the deaths and most of the cases reported in different Chinese cities and the world are linked to Wuhan. Local officials announced the suspension of Friday prayers in mosques, according to social media reports, in an apparent attempt to avoid close gathering of people as the coronavirus spreads human-to-human.

It is an anxious wait for the Indians who stayed put. Most of the students stayed indoors. Currently the city appeared normal with local metro trains, buses running and airport operational, one student told PTI over the phone. As of now there are no restrictions on movement, going in and out of the city, he said. So far, no Indian or foreign students have been affected, the student said. People are venturing out with masks and following instructions like washing hands and face whenever going out, he said. While the Indian Embassy kept a close watch through the social media WeChat and WhatsApp, the students remained in close contact keeping an eye on the evolving situation. India has already issued a travel warning to people travelling to China. The students will await a word from the Indian Embassy to decide about leaving the city, he said. Besides the students, the fast spreading virus has become a major worry for their parents back home, the student added.

India slips 10 places on Global Democracy Index NEW DELHI, JAN 22 (PTI/IANS): India slipped 10 places to 51st position in the 2019 Democracy Index’s global ranking, according to The Economist Intelligence Unit, which cited “erosion of civil liberties” in the country as the primary cause for the downtrend. India’s overall score fell from 7.23 in 2018 to 6.90 in the Index that provides a snapshot of the current state of democracy worldwide for 165 independent states and two territories. On India, the report said, the country dropped ten places in the Democracy Index’s global ranking to 51st. The primary cause of the democratic regression was an erosion of civil liberties in the country. The index is based on five categories -- electoral process and pluralism; the functioning of government; political participation; political cul-

ture; and civil liberties. The ranking report was most critical of the Indian government’s move to deploy large numbers of security personnel in J&K and placing local leaders under house arrest before it “stripped” J&K state of its special status by repealing two key constitutional provisions granting it powers of autonomy. “Meanwhile, a separate citizenship registration exercise in Assam, a state in north-eastern India, has excluded 1.9m from the final list of the National Register of Citizens (NRC). The vast majority of people excluded from the NRC are Muslims,” the report said. “The new citizenship law has enraged the large Muslim population, stoked communal tensions and generated large protests in major

cities,” the EIU added. Based on their total score, the countries are classified as one of four types of regime: “full democracy” (scores greater than 8); flawed democracy - scores greater than 6 and less than or equal to 8; hybrid regime - scores greater than 4 and less than or equal to 6; authoritarian regime - scores less than or equal to 4”. India was included in the “flawed democracy” category. Meanwhile, China’s score fell to 2.26 in the 2019 index, and the country is now ranked 153rd, close to the bottom of the global rankings. “Over the past year discrimination against minorities, especially in the north-western region of Xinjiang, has intensified. Digital surveillance of the population continued apace

in 2019, representing a further constraint on individual freedoms,” the report said. Among other emerging economies, Brazil was ranked 52nd with a score of 6.86, Russia stood at 134th with a score of 3.11. Meanwhile, Pakistan was ranked 108th on the overall list with a score of 4.25, while Sri Lanka was at 69th place with a score of 6.27, Bangladesh (at 80th with 5.88 score). The overall list was topped by Norway, followed by Iceland and Sweden. Other countries in the top 10 include New Zealand at the fourth place, Finland (5th), Ireland (6th), Denmark (7th), Canada (8th), Australia (9th) and Switzerland (10th). North Korea was at the bottom of the global ranking at 167th place.

DARJEELING (WB), JAN 22 (PTI): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who took her fight against the CAA and the proposed NRC to the Darjeeling hills on Wednesday, sought clarifications from Union home minister Amit Shah on clauses of the new law, even as she accused the Centre of spreading lies on the issue. Addressing a rally after leading a mega 4-km-long protest march through the serpentine roads of this Himalayan town, Banerjee said the Centre is trying to push the CAA only in nonBJP ruled states. She claimed that all states except West Bengal have attended the meeting on the National Population Register (NPR) in New Delhi due to fear of the BJP-led Union government. “Every day the Union home minister is giving new sermons. Yesterday, he said that we (opposition parties) are misleading people. I would like to ask him to clarify whether a person will be declared foreigner first and then allowed to apply for citizenship under the CAA,” Banerjee said, ad-

Big Fight for Delhi

n a sample survey conducted among a few thousand voters in Delhi, 59.7 per cent voters said they would vote AAP, 24.1 per cent said the BJP and only 2.4 per cent favoured the Congress. Delhi has 70 assembly seats which will be up for grabs in the February 8,2020 election. As per present mood of voters, the Aam Aadmi Party(AAP) is ahead of the others. The AAP was the first to officially announce its list of candidates and also the first to arrive on the poll scene which indicates that it has been preparing for the elections for over a year. Delhi Assembly election is a closely contested three-dimensional political battle. The ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) led by Arvind Kejriwal, the Delhi chief minister, has much at stake in the Delhi Assembly election for this is the only place where it is in power. In the outgoing Assembly, the AAP had won 67 seats which came down to 62 after five of its legislators were disqualified. It lost one more seat in a bypoll after the sitting AAP legislator quit on getting elected to the Punjab Assembly.The BJP which is in power for the second consecutive term at the Centre, is more than desperate to retain Delhi from the AAP, a UT it last ruled in 1998.On the other hand, the vanquished and rudderless Congress, which has seen its workers and vote banks switching to the AAP, is also desperate for a comeback. The Congress, which formed three consecutive governments in Delhi under late Sheila Dikshit, can practically claim victory if it dampens BJP’s chances of return to power in Delhi. That is too tall an order despite the outward bravado. However, the reason why Congress leaders still think its possible is from the outcome of the 2019 Lok Sabha election in Delhi. The Congress finished second in five of seven constituencies pushing the AAP to distant third. However, in a state election, the voters will decide on local issues. However, recent surveys show that people have clear preferences for Delhi Assembly election with link to the Lok Sabha election trend. In five of seven constituencies, the AAP finished third behind the Congress. In three of these constituencies, the AAP candidates forfeited their deposits. In contrast, the BJP had won all seven seats with 57 per cent vote share. Kejriwal has struck first by announcing a host of freebies for the citizens of Delhi. His freebies include women travelling by metro, free power consumption up to 200 units and 50 per cent subsidy for those consumers using 201 to 400 units per month; complete waiver of water arrears for people under certain categories in colonies, free WiFi scheme under which Delhiites can avail 15 GB free data every month etc. However Kejriwal’s other unfulfilled promises -jan lokpal and Swaraj bill against corruption, which were the propellers to his AAP remains unmentioned. Kejriwal wants to play safe and has stopped short of taking Modi on like he did in previous elections. He has also made himself scarce and silent over the antiCAA protests by students at Jamia Milia Islamia and Jawaharlal Nehru University. In politics, even a day is a long time and it still remains to be seen if AAP can win majority or need some support or that the BJP could spring a big surprise.

DailyDevotion Am I Looking To God? Look to Me, and be saved… —Isaiah 45:22

Do we expect God to come to us with His blessings and save us? He says, “Look to Me, and be saved….” The greatest difficulty spiritually is to concentrate on God, and His blessings are what make it so difficult. Troubles almost always make us look to God, but His blessings tend to divert our attention elsewhere. The basic lesson of the Sermon on the Mount is to narrow all your interests until your mind, heart, and body are focused on Jesus Christ. “Look to Me….” Many of us have a mental picture of what a Christian should be, and looking at this image in other Christians’ lives becomes a hindrance to our focusing on God. This is not salvation— it is not simple enough. He says, in effect, “Look to Me and you are saved,” not “You will be saved someday.” We will find what we are looking for if we will concentrate on Him. We get distracted from God and irritable with Him while He continues to say to us, “Look to Me, and be saved….” Our difficulties, our trials, and our worries about tomorrow all vanish when we look to God. Wake yourself up and look to God. Build your hope on Him. No matter how many things seem to be pressing in on you, be determined to push them aside and look to Him. “Look to Me….” Salvation is yours the moment you look.

The return of agitational politics

olitical history of independent India amply illustrates how street agitations have been used as a potent instrument by the opposition to create an anti-incumbency environ against an otherwise well entrenched regime. Economic issues and failures of policy implementation have been the common cause for the politically disparate groups to come together for vote mobilisation. Students and workers were always the focal points of an agitational campaign -- the most pronounced in recent history was the episode of JP agitation that derived strength from the parallel Railways strike masterminded by George Fernandes in 1974 to oppose Indira Gandhi. The war cry of that agitation revolved round misgovernance and corruption. However, that particular all India stir -- as far as one can see -- never displayed a communal streak. The current protests in the country on the twin issues of Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) need to be analysed and evaluated considering that for the first time the opposition at the all-India level is stoking communal passions to whip up a public agitation on what it alleges are the

‘anti- Muslim’ measures of the Modi government. It began unsurprisingly with the protests by Jamia Millia University students of Delhi. CAA by itself did not touch the Muslims of India living as equal citizens of a sovereign nation but the idea of India declaring itself as the welcome home of minorities of Indian origin persecuted in the Islamic states in the neighbourhood, was apparently taken by the protesters as the indicator of a communal discrimination that might get into the implementation of the NRC project. The debate got linked to the age-long problem of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants that abound not only in the North-East and West Bengal but to an extent live in the rest of the country as well. Now broadly speaking, CAA could add to the BJP vote bank while NRC had the potential of adversely hitting the Congress and other opposition parties who distinctly banked heavily on the Minority support. Prime Minister intervened early to retrieve the CAA from the controversy created by the public mention of NRC, by announcing that the latter was still an idea that had not been discussed yet at any level in the government. However, the opposition

is in no mood to let go of a political weapon that could keep a national level agitation alive against the ruling party, particularly since the NRC link of CAA continued to find mention in the public narrative on citizenship. The opposition has tried to enlarge the agitation by expanding on one hand, the Jamia Millia protests into an anti-government stir of the students propelled by the disturbances in JNU and building on the other, a campaign to the effect that the Modi regime was being pro-Hindu and anti-Muslim in violation of the secular norms. The opposition was hoping to consolidate the Minority and liberals behind it. There is an obvious political risk the opposition runs here of acquiring an anti-Hindu and pro-Muslim image. The agitation is progressively becoming focussed on the opposition to the CAA on the single point that it did not enjoy Constitutional validity as it granted citizenship on the basis of religion but the Hindu majority of this country would be left wondering why the opposition was agitating when the Act did not take away anybody’s citizenship. There is an ongoing counter campaign of the BJP government in defence of CAA and this

could generate a Hindu backlash against those who projected the legislation as an anti-Muslim move. The opposition could be going against the Hindu sentiment that considered India as the home of Hindus. Beyond a point, the average Indian rooted in the soil does not understand the political ‘liberal’ thought that regarded ‘nationalism’ as an unhealthy idea in a Hindu majority India. What should cause concern, is that the antiCAA agitation is rooted in a communal divide and is prone to acquiring shades of militancy that can effect internal security if not moderated in time. Just as abrogation of Article 370 by Parliament on August 5 was opposed on the implicit ground that it was a ‘Muslim issue’ -- which was certainly not the case considering that the integral state of J&K was a multireligious entity under our secular Constitution -- the CAA on its own was being denounced as an anti-Muslim measure even though it did not touch Muslims at all. In both cases, the opposition is unwittingly putting Indian Muslims and Pakistan on the same side of the political fence. Some opposition leaders are deliberately bringing in Pakistan in what is a matter of internal debate in India.

As and when the NRC is announced, Indians as a collective will certainly favour a humane process of identification of migrants and some consideration for families that had children born here and did not invite any suspicion from security angle. The launch of National Population Register (NPR) in the meanwhile -- this is a form of census -- is no doubt adding fuel to the fire and it should not therefore go beyond counting people as and where they are. Large number of poor Indians have no permanent address or even an authorised identification and NPR should not start looking like the NRC in another form. The fear and mistrust on this count can easily engulf vast sections of population and give the opposition a cause for converting anti-CAA agitation into a movement of the poor and the weak. A festering public unrest created by the antiCAA agitation is being sustained by the centre-state conflict raked up by opposition-ruled governments. Even without bringing up questions of performance of Modi government in economic and other people-related spheres on the table, the stir is managing to create an impasse and a feeling of stagnation around and thus draw-

ing attention to the issue of ‘governance’ as such. While the world opinion on Kashmir is showing an understanding of India’s position on the lockdown there, the Hindu-Muslim divide in the country on the issue of CAA is finding an echo outside of India. Our diplomacy must have a considered common ‘brief ’ on the issue for explaining India’s stand on the persecuted minorities in Islamic regimes. The democratic world will be willing to grasp India’s sensitive approach to non-Muslims of Indian origin who were suffering because of the rise of radical Islam in the Muslim world -- with Pakistan becoming the epicentre of its growth. This has to be done in a knowledgeable way and in a manner that brings out India as a non-communal country that was only protecting all its citizens against Islamic fundamentalists. The Centre should not allow the citizenship debate to cloud its work on the development front. Prime Minister Modi’s image of personal integrity and devotion to national advancement holds and this should help it to reactivate the narrative of ‘development for all’ amidst the distractions caused by the current agitation.

India is secular country: Rajnath Singh J&K kids nationalists

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh inspects the guard of honour during his visit to NCC Republic Day Camp, in New Delhi, Wednesday. (PTI)

DIMAPUR, JAN 22 (NPN): Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang (ABAM) has expressed concern over rise in persecution of Christians in various parts of India, stating that it has become a serious threat to Christians. Pointing out that the rate of persecution has been doubling every year since 2014, ABAM executive secretary Rev. Dr. Mar Atsongchanger lamented that Christians were being persecuted on regular basis and some even to the extent of forfeiting from all communal facilities. Atsongchanger, while addressing the ABAM staff Seminar on “awareness on Christian persecution in India” held on January 21

and 22 at Impur, further said that the random rule and misinterpretation of the Constitution every now and then by the present government at the Centre was alarming as it has made it difficult for Christians, Muslims and Sikhs. “It is time that Christians in particular, in unison voice out our rights so as to safe our country from this anti human government,” Atsongchanger stated. ABAM therefore appealed to every good citizen of India and every Christian in the country to seriously ponder about the future and make serious appeal to the Government to maintain the rights as enshrined in the Indian constitution.

Anti-CAA protesters ‘lathicharged’ by police in UP LU C K N OW, JA N 2 2 (PTI): People protesting against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act were allegedly lathicharged by police in a Muslim-dominated area in Uttar Pradesh’s Etawah district even as demonstrations continued against the legislation in Lucknow and Aligarh. A video of the Etawah incident, where policemen can be seen using batons and chasing away protesters in the area on late Tuesday night, has also gone viral on social media. Violence broke out when police tried to disperse the protesters who were observing a sit-in since Tuesday morning in Pachraha area, defying prohibitory orders imposed there. “Police used force against us while we were holding a peaceful protest. Our brothers and cousins were beaten up and we were abused. We were physically tortured. We have a right to protest,” one of the women protesters said. Responding to the allegations, police said the protesters had staged a dharna defying prohibitory order imposed in the area and pelted them with stones. Police said they had to use mild force to chase the protesters away. In the video, policemen can be seen entering houses and shops. The sit-in was organised in solidarity with the women protesting at Shaheen Bagh in Delhi against the new legislation. “Police are citing prohibitory orders to end our protest. What about the large public meetings being held by ministers,” another protester said. In Lucknow, protesters at the

Clock Tower (Ghantaghar) in old city area of Lucknow held a symbolic ‘havan’ with Hindu women joining them. With the Tricolour painted on their cheeks and bands on their wrists, they took part in the ‘havan’ carrying banners with “CAA wapas lo” (take back CAA) written on them. Women also observed a ‘roza’ for the withdrawal of the act.

“Whatever I have seen today, I was trying to compare when I was the NCC cadet myself. I have come to the conclusion that times have changed. At my time, we couldn’t even imagine such cultural performances,” the minister said. All boys and girls must be proud of being part of the world’s largest youth organisation that NCC is, he said.

(From p-1) open the floodgates for these immigrants-turned citizens to quietly settle among the tribal population. Congress said Article 371A places Nagaland as the most safeguarded state in the Indian union after Article 370 was abrogated in J&K. It said Article 371A cannot be BJP’s exclusive commitment to people of Nagaland since the Article was inserted in the Indian constitution long before BJP was formed. Therefore, the attempt of the BJP to “twist facts” spoke about their desperation to appropriate the achievements of others as they(BJP) did not exist to contribute towards nation building. Congress said the participation of college and university students who came to the forefront against CAA was heartening. The party said it augured well that the young generation were well informed and were not going to tolerate the complicity of those in power who are ready to sacrifice the interest of the people of Nagaland “just to hold on to their chairs.” Further, Congress said “The silence of different Naga groups and Civil Society organizations on CAA is indeed baffling and shocking” and termed it unfortunate that Nagas were being “led up the garden path” by BJP to prevent anti-CAA protests. Congress said Nagas needed to be reminded that CAA would be followed by Uniform Civil Code(UCC) which would bring a majoritarian agenda for conformity and uniformity and which could “act as the final solution to the Naga political aspirations.” The party said unless people raise their voices at this juncture, their silence would only embolden BJP and RSS to keep Nagas divided and impose their way of life on the people and which would sound the “death knell for our much proclaimed ‘unique Naga history.”

Rajini’s Periyar remark assumes pol overtones, Dravidian camp ups the ante CHENNAI, JAN 22 (PTI): The row over Rajinikanth’s comment about a rally led by reformist leader E V Ramasamy “Periyar” decades ago is appearing to assume political overtones with Dravidian ideologists upping the ante and a senior BJP leader throwing his weight behind him on Wednesday. A day after the actor rejected demands for an apology by Dravidian outfits, the chorus against him has grown louder with Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam backed the rationalist leader, popularly called Periyar by his followers. K Veeramani, President of the Dravidar

Kazhagam, founded by Periyar, said the actor will have to “answer the court,” for his remark. The state unit of the Congress came down heavily on Rajinikanth and asked him not to fall prey to “evil, communal elements.” Rallying behind Rajinikanth, BJP national secretary H Raja said the Dravidian outfits were trying to intimidate him. The Dravidar Viduthalai Katchi (DVK), which was the first to condemn the actor for his remarks, on Wednesday staged a protest demonstration a short distance away from his Poes Garden residence, demanding that he

The children of Jammu and Kashmir are nationalists, but they are sometimes being motivated in the wrong direction, Rajnath Singh said. The comments come days after Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat said girls and boys, as young as 10 and 12, were being radicalised in Kashmir, adding that it was a matter of concern. “The kids of Jammu Kashmir are nationalists. They shouldn’t be seen in any other way,” Singh said when asked about his opinion on kids in the state who are being motivated to join the National Cadet Corps. “Youngsters are youngsters only. Sometimes, the way they should be motivated, people do not motivate them. In fact, they are motivated in the wrong direction. “That is why the kids should not be blamed for this. The ones who are wrongly motivating them should be blamed. The ones who are motivating them in wrong direction are the culprits,” the defence minister added.

NEW DELHI, JAN 22 (PTI): Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday said Indian values consider all religions equal, and that is why the country is secular and never became a theocratic state like Pakistan. Speaking at the NCC Republic Day Camp in Delhi, Singh said: “We (India) said we would not discriminate among religions. Why did we do that? Our neighbouring country has declared that their state has a religion. They have declared themselves a theocratic state. We didn’t declare so.” “Even America is a theocratic country. India is not a theocratic country. Why? Because our saints and seers did not just consider the people living within our borders as part of the family, but called everyone living in the world as one family,” the minister said. Singh underlined that India had never declared its religion would be Hindu, Sikh or Buddhist and people of all religions could live here. “They (saints and seers) gave the slogan of ‘Vasudev Kutumbakam’ -the whole world is one fam-

DC Kiphire on January 10, 2020 had forwarded to the government the verification report received from the GBs and council of Yangzitong village A &B clarifying that Levi Sumi was daughter of Hotoshe Sumi, a bona fide citizen of Yangzitong village. Stating that the commission always welcome complaints and suggestions from all citizens, the secretary said it also expected that in the present case it would have been better had the SKK discussed the issue with the commission before going public in order not to be misled or be carried away with only one sided version of the matter. NPSC stated that drawing one’s own conclusion such as “defied all the norms and procedure set by the government of Nagaland” as alleged by SKK was uncalled for and may amount to vilification of the commission. The NPSC has, therefore, appealed to all responsible to come forward and discuss issues with the commission in the interest of all concerned rather than going public through the media.

NEW DELHI, JAN 22 (IANS): India Ratings and Research on Wednesday said that it expects gross domestic product (GDP) to grow at 5.5 per cent in FY21. The agency’s forecast is marginal higher than the GDP growth of 5 per cent estimated by National Statistical Office for FY20. The cur rent slowdown in economic activity, according to the agency is primarily owing to the abrupt and significant fall in lending by non-banking financial companies. Among other reasons, were the reduced income growth of households

announced a slew of measures recently to prop-up the economy, but Ind-Ra believes they will come to aid only in the medium term. Therefore, all eyes are on the forthcoming union budget, to be presented on February 1, 2020. Ind-Ra expects the shortfall in the tax plus non-tax revenue to result in the fiscal deficit slipping to 3.6 per cent of GDP (budgeted 3.3 per cent) in FY20, even after accounting for the surplus transferred by the RBI. External environment continues to be challenging for exports due to the trade friction and protectionist policy pursued by many developed economies, the agency said. “As a result, India’s exports of goods and services are likely to witness negative growth of 2.0 per cent in FY20. With some breakthrough in the US-China trade talks, Ind-Ra expects external environment to improve somewhat in FY21,” India Ratings said. Ind-Ra expects the Indian rupee to average 73 against the dollar in FY21.

Trump again offers to resolve Kashmir issue Death toll in China’s coronavirus rises to 17 Meets Pak PM Imran in Davos

DAVOS, JAN 22 (PTI): President Donald Trump has said that the US is watching the developments between India and Pakistan over Kashmir “very closely” and repeated his offer to “help” resolve the longstanding dispute between the two neighbours as he met Prime Minister Imran Khan on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum here in the Swiss ski resort. Addressing the media with the Pakistan Prime Minister prior to their private meeting on Tuesday, President Trump asserted that trade and borders were both critical points for discussion, while Khan said that for him Afghanistan was the top priority. Tr ump told Khan, whom he referred to as “my friend” that he would speak to Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the ongoing Kashmir issue. The US

Greece elects first woman president ATHENS, JAN 22 (AFP): Greece’s parliament on Wednesday elected the first woman president in the country’s history, a senior judge with an expertise in environmental and constitutional law. A cross-party majority of 261 MPs voted in favour of 63-year-old Ekaterini Sakellaropoulou, parliament chief Costas Tassoulas said. “Ekaterini Sakellaropoulou has been elected president of the republic,” Tassoulas said. The new president, until now the head of Greece’s top administrative court, the Council of State, will take her oath of office on March 13, he added. The daughter of a Supreme Court judge, Sakellaropoulou completed postgraduate studies at Paris’s Sorbonne university. She was also the first woman to head the Council of State. Although the president is nominally the head of the Greek state and commander-in-chief, the post is largely ceremonial. Greek presidents confirm governments and laws and technically have the power to declare war, but only in conjunction with the government.

President is expected to visit India in the coming weeks, marking his first visit after taking up his post in the White House. “What’s going on between Pakistan and India… if we can help, we certainly will be willing to. We have been watching it very closely and it’s an honour to be here with my friend,” Trump said. “The Pakistan-India conflict is a very big issue for us in Pakistan and we expect the US to always play its part in deescalating the

tensions, because no other country can,” Khan said. Trump has repeatedly offered to mediate following India’s August 5 decision to revoke the special status to Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcate the state into Union Territories, evoking strong reactions from Pakistan which has been trying to internationalise the issue. New Delhi has defended its move, saying Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and the issue was strictly internal to the

meeting between Trump and Khan since the Pakistan premier assumed office in 2018, and it came against the backdrop of Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi’s recent trip to the US, amid reports that the US and Afghan Taliban were close to striking a peace deal. “There are issues we want to talk about. The main issue is Afghanistan because it concerns the US and Pakistan. Fortunately, we are on the same page. Both of us are interested in peace there and an orderly transition in Afghanistan with talks with Taliban and the government,” Khan said. When a reporter asked Trump if he would visit Pakistan considering he was already set to visit India, the US President said he was meeting the Pakistan premier in Davos. “Well, we’re visiting right now. So we don’t really have to. I wanted to say that from a relationship standpoint, we got a great relationship.

BEIJING, JAN 22 (PTI): The death toll from the new coronavirus outbreak in China nearly doubled to 17 with the confirmed infection cases sharply rising to 444 on Wednesday, even as the cases of the deadly pneumonia were reported from the US, Hong Kong, Macao and Mexico. Chinese authorities have warned that the disease could spread further in the ongoing holiday season during which millions travel at home and abroad amid

official advisories to people of Wuhan, the epicentre of illness, not to leave the city. Seventeen people have died due to the virus, staterun China Daily reported on Wednesday. The coronavirus is a large family of viruses that causes illnesses ranging from the common cold to acute respiratory syndromes, but the virus that has killed people in China is a novel strain and not seen before. Common symptoms of the novel coronavirus

strain include respiratory symptoms such as fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties, according to the WHO. The Chinese health authorities announced that 444 confirmed cases of pneumonia caused by a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) had been reported in 13 provincial-level regions in the country by the end of Tuesday. Considering its potential to spread to different countries, the World Health Organisation (WHO) is holding a rare emergency meeting Geneva on Wednesday to consider declaring Wuhan virus as an international public health emergency, as it did with swine flu and Ebola. Such a declaration, if made, will be seen as an urgent call for a coordinated international response in view of fears that millions of Chinese are travelling at home and abroad for the Chinese New Year and Spring Festival holidays starting from January 24.

‘Rocket attack on US embassy unacceptable’ BAG H DA D, JA N 2 2 (IANS): Iraq’s caretaker Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi has condemned the rocket attack on the US embassy in the Iraqi capital, calling it “unacceptable”. “Yesterday, Katyusha rockets were fired at the US embassy, and this is painful and incorrect ... Who authorises those parties to attack the embassy in Iraq?,” Xinhua news agency quoted Mahdi’s office as stating after the weekly cabinet meeting on Tuesday. “This act offends Iraq and is unacceptable regardless of their intentions,” Abdul Mahdi said without naming the attackers. Late on Monday, an Iraqi Interior Ministry’s official told Xinhua that three Katyusha rockets landed near the US embassy in the heavily fortified Green Zone in central Baghdad without causing casualties. The heavily fortified Green Zone has been frequently targeted by insurgents’ mortar and rocket attacks. The roughly 10square-km zone is located on the west bank of the Tigris River, which bisects the Iraqi capital.

country, and the special status provisions only gave rise to terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. “The country took the decision of abrogation of Article 370, which had only given separatism and terrorism to that state,” Prime Minister Modi had said in October. Although President Trump has offered to mediate on the Kashmir issue in the past, New Delhi has told Washington that it is a bilateral matter between India and Pakistan and there is no scope for any third-party mediation. On the sidelines of the G7 summit in the French town of Biarritz in August last year, Modi, while interacting with the media alongside President Trump, categorically rejected any scope for third-party mediation between India and Pakistan on Kashmir, saying the two countries could discuss and resolve all issues bilaterally and “we don’t want to trouble any third country”.

London show ‘The Witcher’ season 1 asBTStheyannounce unveil world tour dates breaks Netflix viewing records

T

he Witcher has officially broken Netflix records for the viewing numbers on the first season. The streaming service has revealed that 76 million accounts watched the show within the first four weeks of debuting, making it Netflix’s biggest opening season for a TV series so far. The way Netflix calculates its viewing statistics has recently changed, now considering accounts that have watched at least two minutes of either an episode of a series or a film.

Previously, the platform counted accounts having watched 70% of an episode of a series or a feature film. Explaining the new strategy to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix said: “Our new methodology is similar to the BBC iPlayer in their rankings based on ‘requests’ for the title, ‘most popular’ articles on The New York Times, which include those who opened the articles, and YouTube view counts. “This way, short and long titles are treated equally, levelling the playing field

for all types of our content including interactive content, which has no fixed length.” Another popular show on the platform was stalker drama You, which reached over 54 million accounts during its first four weeks of release. The Witcher was renewed for a second season before the first one had premiered, with the central trio of actors – Henry Cavill, Freya Allan and Anya Chalotra – all confirmed to return. A release date is yet to be announced. (NME)

TS have announced a huge show at London’s Twickenham Stadium as part of their 2020 Map of the Soul world tour. After Big Hit Entertainment previously teased that the K-Pop group would hit the road once more, it’s been confirmed that they will play London’s Twickenham Stadium between July 3-4. They’ll then continue the European leg of the tour with dates in Berlin and Barcelona. The tour will kick off at Seoul’s Olympic Stadium on 11-12 April, before two further dates on April 18-19. Tickets will go on sale here from 3PM on Friday February 7, while a selection of pre-sales for the group’s

official ARMY fanclub will take place prior to this. Last week, BTS shared their new single ‘Black Swan’, the second taste of new album ‘Map Of the Soul: 7’. NME’s Rhian Daly called the song a “haunting, melancholy curveball” that “puts artistry ahead of mass appeal.” They also released an accompanying art film, which sees an elaborate dance perfor mance by Michal Rynia and Nastja Bremec Rynia of the MN Dance Company from Slovenia. In an official press release, BTS said the track sees them “dive deep into their inner selves as artists and faces the shadows they had once hidden”. (NME)

o r m e r G r a m my s boss Deborah Dugan has filed a lawsuit against the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, alleging she was sacked as Grammys boss after raising allegations of sexual harassment. The lawsuit, which has been filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), comes less than a week after Dugan was put on leave for apparent “misconduct.” According to the EEOC complaint, Dugan says she was instead put on administrative leave some three weeks after sending an email to the Academy’s managing director of human resources, which detailed serious allegations against the Recording Academy and its “historically male dominated leadership”. T h e l aw s u i t a l s o claims that Ms Dugan’s administrative leave was in direct retaliation to her complaint, and also alleges that she was subjected to sexual harassment. “The decision to put Ms. Dugan on leave was clearly made in retaliation for her complaint, and came with thinly veiled threats of termination in the event that Ms. Dugan persisted in pursuing claims against the Acad-

emy,” it states. In her series of bombshell claims against the organisation, Dugan also says she was informed that former Grammys CEO Neil Portnow is facing an allegation of rape from a female recording artist. Portnow is yet to respond to the claim. Portnow, her predecessor, famously faced major backlash in 2018 when he suggested that female artists should “step up” if they wanted to achieve access. Elsewhere, the complaint details the “historic” under-representation of women and minority groups within the Grammys Awards and notes that the Academy has “routinely faced criticism for failing to honour Black artists”. In their response to CNN, the Recording Academy denied the claims and said it was “curious” that Dugan had only decided

to pursue action once she was facing separate allegations that she “created a ‘toxic and intolerable’ work environment and engaged in ‘abusive and bullying conduct’”. Their statement added: “Ms. Dugan was placed on administrative leave only after offering to step down and demanding $22 million from the Academy, which is a not-for-profit organisation.” Responding to the academy in turn, lawyers for Ms. Dugan said she “repeatedly raised concerns throughout her entire tenure at the Academy, and even gave large presentations focused on diversity and inclusion at Board meetings”. Before becoming president of the Recording Academy, Dugan had been the chief executive at (Red), the AIDS nonprofit founded in 2006 by U2 singer Bono. (NME)

In men’s singles, Kidambi Srikanth, Sameer Verma and H.S. Prannoy faced crushing defeats in their opening rounds, while Saina Nehwal, India’s lone contender in women’s singles, also failed to advance

Singh also reclaimed his spot. Daniel Lalhlimpuia and Martin Perez Guedes started for the visitors, with Arshdeep Singh starting in front of goal ahead of Francisco Dorronsoro. Josep Gombau’s men dominated proceedings in

in the $ 170,000 tournament. Srikanth, the fifthseeded player, lost 21-12, 14-21, 11-21 to Shesar Hiren Rhustavito of Indonesia in 48 minutes to make it his third straight first round loss of the year. Srikanth was knocked out of the Indonesia Masters 500 tournament after suffering a first-round defeat to Rhustavito. Before that, he had also made a first-round exit from the Malaysia Masters. Sameer had to face

the opening moments and for the majority of the first half. The first chance arrived as early in the third minute when Xisco Hernandez’s delivery from a free-kick on the left flank found Gaurav Bora’s head in the Bengaluru box. But the centre-back

could not keep it down and hit it over the bar. Udanta was the architect of the hosts’ first big chance of the game when he pressed Narayan Das into losing the ball and delivered a low-cross into the box from the right flank. Brown missed a sitter from close range, sending it wide of the near-post. But the Jamaican made up for his miss within minutes. Dimas Delgado sent in a looping delivery from the dead ball on the right side of the pitch. Erik Paartalu got his head to it and directed the ball goalwards. Brown got a touch to it and claimed his debut goal. Just two minutes later, Dimas Delgado and Udanta Singh combined at the corner before the Indian international sent in a promising cross aimed at an unmarked Paartalu at the far end of the Odisha box. The Australian’s volley took a deflection off Aridane Santana before falling to Bheke in front of goal. The full-back tapped it in to make it 2-0.

MELBOURNE, JAN 22 (IANS): Defending champion Novak Djokovic on Wednesday entered the third round of the Australian Open after cruising past Japanese wildcard Tatsuma Ito. Djokovic needed just 95 minutes to advance as he defeated Ito 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 at Rod Laver Arena. He will next face another Japanese player Yoshihito Nishioka. The Serbian won his 901st tour-level win to reach the Australian Open third round for the 13th time in the past 14 years. His 900th victory came two days ago, against Jan-Lennard Struff. The World No.2 raced to a 5-0 lead against Ito who had ousted lucky loser Prajnesh Gunneswaran of India in the first round. After losing the first set in just 22 minutes, the 146th-ranked Japanese showed in the second set he could give the ball a fair thump, and went game-forgame with Djokovic. However, the Serbian turned out to be too good for Ito as Djokovic improved his Australian Open win-loss record to a sparkling 70-8 and kept his campaign for a recordextending eighth title firmly on track.

3rd Khelo India Youth Games: Maharashtra crowned champion

GUWAHATI, JAN 22 (AGENCIES): The 3rd Khelo India Youth Games ended on a positive note on Wednesday with Maharashtra topping the medals tally with 256 medals in total. The Maharashtra team won 78 gold, 77 silver, and 101 bronze medals in the competition which began on January 10. Assam chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal, Union Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju and MoS Food and processing industries Rameshwar Teli were present on the occasion. They handed over the champions trophy to Maharashtra, first runner

up trophy to Haryana and second runner up trophy to Delhi. Speaking on the occasion, Rijiu remarked that the moto of the games was to promote sports culture in country. He thanked Assam Government for hosting the biggest games of country. Assam chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal said the games generated a ray of hope in the broader landscape of sports in the country. “Youths who participated in the games proved that through devotion, dedication and diligence one can reach the zenith of success,” Sonowal said. “From

now on, everybody should aim for winning a medal at the Olympics,” Sonowal stressed. He also thanked the participants including the support and technical staff, sports organisers, various sports bodies and journalists for making games a grand success. Assam showcased their rich cultural heritage in a crisp and beautiful show, led by a Modern Creative Dance performance by Aimee Baruah. Chinese Martial Artists wowed the audience with their speed and power. They were specially flown in to mark the 70th year of the India-China friendship.

Serena into 3rd round as Osaka sets up Coco crunch MELBOURNE, JAN 22 (AFP): Fifteen-yearold prodigy Coco Gauff set up an Australian Open blockbuster with defending champion Naomi Osaka on Wednesday, as Serena Williams screamed and shouted her way into the third round. On a day when men’s seeds tumbled, Serbia’s Novak Djokovic strode towards his eighth Melbourne title and soon-to-retire Caroline Wozniacki lived to fight another day. American teenager Gauff, showing a tenacity which is becoming her trademark, clawed her way back from a set down to beat the experienced Sorana Cirstea 4-6, 6-3, 7-5. Gauff, who bellowed and pumped her fists as she completed her victory, said her “will to win” had got her through the tough secondround match at a windswept Melbourne Park. “My parents always told me you can always come back -- no matter what the score is,” said Gauff, who beat seven-time Grand

Serena Williams Slam champion Venus Williams in round one. Gauff also beat Williams on her Grand Slam debut last year at Wimbledon, and in another quirk, she faced Osaka in the US Open third round, going down meekly in straight sets. Japan’s Osaka, 22, beat China’s Zheng Saisai 6-2, 6-4 but briefly lost her cool mid-match, hurling and kicking her racquet when she gave up a break in the second set. “I was thinking that I really don’t want to play a third set this time,” explained Osaka, who is de-

fending a Grand Slam title for the second time. Former world number one Wozniacki, playing her final tournament before retiring, came from behind in both sets for a 7-5, 7-5 win over Dayana Yastremska of Ukraine. Serena Williams shouted at the top of her voice during a testing second set against 70th-ranked Tamara Zidansek, before seeing off break points to win 6-2, 6-3. “She was a really good fighter -- she did not just let me win,” said Williams, who can equal Margaret Court’s record of 24 Grand Slams if she lifts the trophy.

Earlier, Australia’s world number one Ashleigh Barty raced through 6-1, 6-4 against Polona Hercog, buoying hopes of a first home winner since 1978. “It was very different end to end, I think the wind was a massive factor particularly with the new ball,” she said. Djokovic also weathered the breeze -- which followed heavy rain on Monday, and smog from bushfires last week -- to beat Japanese wildcard Tatsuma Ito 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 in 95 minutes. “They were tough conditions, pretty windy and it was hard to know where the balls were going. My serve helped a lot to get me out of trouble,” said the Serb. Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas was handed a slice of fortune when Philipp Kohlschreiber withdrew injured. In other results, Petra Kvitova, last year’s runnerup, came through 7-5, 7-5 against Paula Badosa of Spain, and China’s Zhang Shuai ousted American Caty McNally 6-2, 6-4.

Zareen enters qtrs of Strandja Memorial Boxing Tournament

Nikhat Zareen NEW DELHI, JAN 22 (PTI): Defending champion Nikhat Zareen (51kg) on Wednesday sailed into the quarterfinals of the Strandja Memorial Boxing Tournament after her rival Sevda Asenova abandoned their second-round bout in Sofia, Bulgaria. The Indian was declared the winner after Asenova forfeited during the opening round of the bout. Local favourite Asenova was a former gold-medallist at the event, which is into its 71st edition this year. In the men’s competition, Duryodhan Singh Negi (69kg) and Mohammed Hussamuddin (57kg) advanced after winning

their respective opening bouts. Singh defeated Poland’s Mateusz Polski, while Hussamuddin defeated France’s Enzo Grau. Both the results were split 1-4 verdicts. There was disappointment elsewhere as India endured six opening-round defeats on Tuesday evening. Among the men, South Asian Games gold-medallist Ankit Khatana (75kg), Asian silver-medallist Deepak Kumar (52kg), Narender (+91kg), and Naveen Kumar (91kg) made early exits. Nupur (75kg) and Lalita (69kg) were the ones to bow out in the women’s draw. Nupur was outpunched 0-5 by France’s Davina Michel, while Lalita lost 1-4 to Poland’s Karolina Koszewska. Khatana was beaten 0-5 by the USA’s Javier Martinez. Narender also lost by a similar margin to another American -- Richard Torrez Jr. Deepak went down 1-4 to Spain’s Gabriel Escobar. Naveen lost 0-5 to Italy’s Abbes Mouhiidine.
