Modi may lose if oppn unites: poll

NEW DELHI, JAN 24 (AGENCIES): Congress can turn the tide in its favour in the Lok Sabha election if Rahul Gandhi can convince Mamata Banerjee, Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav to join hands with him and fight collectively against the BJP. This is the finding of the India Today-Karvy Insights Mood of the Nation poll.

According to the India Today-Karvy Insights Mood of the Nation poll, the NDA would be nowhere close to the magic figure of 272 that a political party or alliance needs to form the government. According to the Mood of the Nation poll, the NDA would win 237 seats, a massive drop of 99 seats compared to the coalition’s 2014 tally. The staggering nature of NDA’s loss can be understood from the fact that the Bharatiya Janata Party crossed the figure of 272 on its own in 2014.

The Mood of the Nation poll predicts massive wins for Congress-led UPA. The UPA would win 166 seats while parties that are not part of either the NDA or the UPA would win 140 seats. For the UPA, this is an increase of 106 seats compared to its 2014 tally.

Power deptt bans stringing of wires on electric poles DIMAPUR, JAN 24 (NPN): Power department, chief engineer (D&R) Er. Khose Sale has directed all concerned parties to remove any type of cables, wires, pipes etc. strung between electric poles in all town jurisdiction/s within three months from the date of this notification.

Citing various sections of the Electricity Act 2003, Er. Sale said cables, wires, pipes etc. strung between poles pose as a hazard to persons involved in repair/ maintenance works, besides hindering line maintenance/ repair works and increasing the probability of accidents/ fatalities including public safety. In this regard, the department has notified that stringing of any type of cables, wires, pipes etc. between electric poles will not be permitted within town limits.

Traffic regulations for R-Day in Kohima

The only solace for the NDA in this Mood of the Nation poll is that its vote share would be higher than the UPA’s. But even that silver lining is not without a set of worry -- the Mood of the Nation poll forecasts a drop in vote share for the BJP-led NDA. The UPA would see a rise in its vote share.

In terms of vote share, the India Today-Karvy Insights Mood of the Nation poll shows that the NDA will get 35 per cent votes, the UPA plus TMC, SP and BSP is expected to get 44 per cent vote share. The others meanwhile will get 21 per cent votes, the poll shows.

These numbers, by the way, hold true only if the NDA and the UPA remain as they are right now. The numbers are based on the following

compositions: NDA: BJP, All India N Rangaswamy Congress, Apna Dal, Bodo People’s Front, DMDK, JD(U), LJP, PMK, National People’s Party, RPI (A), SAD, SDF and Shiv Sena UPA: Congress, DMK, JD(S), National Conference, JMM, Kerala Congress (Mani), IUML, NCP, RJD, RLD and TDP. Others: AAP, AGP, AIMIM, AIADMK, Forward Bloc, TMC, AIUDF, BJD, CPI, CPI(M), INLD, PDP, Kerala Congress (Joseph), MNS, NLP, RSP (RSP is with the Left alliance in West Bengal and with the UPA in Kerala), TRS, YSRC, Independents and SP-BSP-RLD alliance in Uttar Pradesh The Mood of the Na-

tion poll comes just months before the Lok Sabha elections are to be held. The predictions of the Mood of the Nation poll will be a cause of worry for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his top lieutenant, BJP chief Amit Shah.

A hung Parliament would mean that the NDA would need to scramble to get support from non-UPA parties. This could lead to demands that somebody other than Narendra Modi be prime minister.

On the other hand the poll by ABP News-CVoter Thursday projected that the NDA led by Modi will emerge as the largest group in the Lok Sabha polls in the next few months but will fall short of a majority required to rule. The ruling BJP-led alliance is forecast to win 233 parliament seats of the 543 at stake, the poll by ABP News-CVoter said, short of the half-way mark of 272.

On Wednesday, another survey showed the BJP facing a rout in the most populous Uttar Pradesh state which sends the largest number of representatives to parliament and holds the key to which party forms a government.

10% EWS quota in govt recruitment from Feb 1: Centre New Delhi, Jan 24 (PTI): Beginning next month, all central government posts will be filled after factoring in the recently approved 10 per cent reservation for economically weaker sections (EWS), according to an official order.

Ministry of Personnel in the order said that detailed instructions regarding the procedure for the implementation of the EWS quota will be issued separately. “It is hereby notified that 10 per cent reservation would be provided for economically weaker sections in central government posts and services and would be effective in respect of all direct recruitment vacancies to be notified on or after February 1, 2019,” it said.

“Persons who are not covered under the existing scheme of reservations for SC, STs and socially and educationally backward classes and whose family has gross annual income below Rs 8 lakh are to be identified as EWSs for the benefit of reservation,” according to an order by Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment.

More students’ bodies to boycott R-Day

DIMAPUR/KOHIMA, JAN 24 (NPN): Various students’ organizations in Nagaland have decided to respond to the call made by NSF to boycott the “Indian Republic Day” celebrations on January 26 across Nagaland and Naga inhibited areas of Manipur.

Speaking to Nagaland Post, NSF president Kesosul Christopher Ltu informed that the federation will deploy volunteers on January 26, to check whether students were adhering to the boycott call. NSF general secretary Imtiyapang Imsong said NSF, in protest against the CAB, has hoisted black flags in all areas under its jurisdiction since January 12.

ASU: Angami Students’ Union (ASU) president Visako Rino informed Nagaland Post that the union will show solidarity with NSF in boycotting the Republic Day celebrations.

ASU said it was appalled by the move of the Indian government and the lackadaisical attitude of not hearing the plea of the North Eastern people, which has threatened the very existence of the distinct cultural minority of India.

ASU appealed to every right thinking citizen to refrain from participating in the

R-Day celebration and also directed all the educational institutions and students within its jurisdiction to not participate in any of the government activities/events related to the celebrations.

ANCSU: All Nagaland College Students’ Union (ANCSU) president Katho P. Awomi confirmed its full support to the boycott call

by NSF, saying ANCSU strongly opposes the citizenship amendment bill.

ANSAM: All Naga Students’ Association Manipur (ANSAM) president Joseph Adani also informed Nagaland Post that the association has directed all its 14 units and two subordinate bodies to strictly implement the direction of NSF to boycott the Republic Day celebration in all the Naga inhibited areas of Manipur.

SKK: All Sumi Students Union(SKK) has informed that it will respond to the call by the NSF against the Citizenship Bill by boycotting the “Indian Republic Day” celebration, in protest against the CAB. SKK president Atokiho Sumi said SKK will boycott the R-Day celebrations in all Sumi inhabited areas to show their “deepest resentment” against the Government of India for passing the Citi-

zenship Bill. SKK appealed to all students, educational institutions, and concerned citizens, to not participate in any government activities/ events related to the R-Day celebrations.

ENSF: Eastern Nagaland Students’ Union (ENSF) along with its six federating units-- CCSU, USSC, KSU, PSC, YAA and KSU, have decided to independently boycott the forthcoming “Indian Republic Day” celebrations.

In a press note, ENSF president Sepili L Sangtam and general secretary Imtichoba Chang expressed dismay at the BJP-led NDA government for trying to legalise illegal migrants at a time when the people of the state was demanding detection and deportation of illegal migrants. Affirming the need to protect the cultural identity, ENSF warned that if the proposed amendments in the citizenship act were not withdrawn, “it will be a death knell for the indigenous people of Nagaland.”

ENSF also questioned the state government for not having the political will to oppose the CAB and warned this would have future ramifications in the region.

WC urges Nagas to isolate defectors ENPO, NH oppose CAB Tension along Nagaland-Assam border DIMAPUR, JAN 24 (NPN): Working Committee (WC) of Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) through the Media Cell has highlighted the issue of defections within various NNPGs while the focus of Naga people, tribal bodies and civil societies was on the “ongoing political dialogue” between NNPGs and government of India in Delhi.

Terming defections as “a menace degrading the Naga cause”, WC maintained that there was an urgent need for all NNPG leaders including Khango-led NSCN (K), tribal bodies and GBs to “jointly identify and isolate defectors, who are vying for high positions in various political groups.

WC insisted that all defectors “must be sent back to where they came from” adding, increase or decrease in membership would not impact outcome of ongoing negotiations. Further it said defectors do not deserve “respect or honour from any corner”.

Reiterating that in a “national struggle” thousands in both civil and military wings face hardships; WC pointed out the “true patriots do not defect or desert” since doing so was a “treachery accompanied by curse.”

WC cautioned that defectors cannot claim seniority nor contribution to Naga national service since their names would be erased form service records the day they defected. Defection was not only a crime but “makes a person cheap and untrustworthy” in the eye of public, tribe, clan, friends and that children of defectors “cannot escape shame and stigma attached” said WC. In view of the urgency and status of the ongoing talks, where Nagas were yearning for honourable and acceptable solution, WC urged all tribes, hohos, clans and families to reach out to their own as well as different political groups against defection. It described defectors as “rats gnawing away at the hard earned fabric of Naga unity” and who should not be “welcomed like heroes within NNPGs fold or outside.”

WC urged general public in towns and villages to understand the negative impact and social disharmony brought by defectors and therefore appealed to NNPG leadership, tribal bodies and GBs to “jointly identify these elements, de-affiliate them from Naga political arena and treat them as persona –non-grata.”

DIMAPUR, JAN 24 (NPN): Even as the Progressive Democratic Alliance (PDA) coalition government in Nagaland adopted a “wait and see” policy with regard to the BJP-sponsored controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB) 2016 which was passed by the Lok Sabha and awaits the nod of the Rajya Sabha; besides the opposition NPF various organisations in Nagaland such as NTC, CNTC have demanded a special session of the assembly to pass the resolution for opposing the Bill.

Eastern Nagaland Public Organisation (ENPO) and Naga Hoho have also demanded a special session of the assembly to adopt a resolution opposing the Bill.

ENPO, 6 federating units oppose: Eastern Nagaland Peoples’ Organization (ENPO) and its six federating tribal bodies on January 23 resolved to urge the state government to out rightly reject the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB) 2016 which was passed in the Lok Sabha, after considering the adverse effects of the bill on the future of the Nagas.

In this regard, ENPO president and general secy., presidents of Chang Khulei Setshang, (Cont’d on p-8)

aminations held every year, he pointed out that only students from private schools featured in the top 20 list and lamented that government schools had very little to show.

While speaking on the disparity in salaries of teachers in government and private schools vis-à-vis their output, Zehol said despite government schools appointing post graduate teachers for Mathematics, private schools had to con-

tend with graduate teachers.

Yet most of the government schools underperform.

Zehol further revealed that the felicitation programme held for toppers every year at Raj Bhavan in Kohima, where teachers and principals are invited, often opened the Pandora’s Box in relation to performance of private and government schools.

Speaking on the occasion, Ritse said, “I am proud (Cont’d on p-7) of the team work that the

Hotokhu Chishi, who released the ‘Special First Day Cover’, called upon Naga intellectuals to ask the pertinent question as to why 2000 Naga men had to leave their homes and travel to foreign shores in France on April 21, 1917 undertaking an arduous three-month journey on foot, train and ship? “Sumi history has to be retold and relayed for the next generation, least it be forgotten,” he emphasized.

Dr H.H. Chishi also took on the Naga Hoho of the latter’s indifference to the role of the Nagas in WW-I, questioning why it was not interested in the history of Naga Labour Corps and “only interested in who founded the Naga Club.”

“We expected the Naga Hoho to strike at the right time. They are only interested in who founded the Naga Club,” he said, while also categorically stating

protestors, Bhabananda assured that he as an MP and his party will not go against the wish of the people. “We are in politics to serve the people and safeguard the interest of the people of the state. I am also a son of the land. How can I go against the interest and desire of the people,” he said.

While stating that there was no change in party’s stand, he said that the chief minister had already declared his resolute stand against the Bill.

After meeting the MP, AMSU president Manjit Sarangthem said that they have put down a clear cut stand of the student bodies

spearheading the anti-CAB protest in the state.

While reiterating student bodies’ firm stand against the Bill, Manjit informed that around 200 members of the student bodies will be heading to New Delhi to highlight northeast people’s stand against the Bill.

He also informed that agitation against the Bill will be continued until and unless the demand of scrapping the Bill is fulfilled.

Tribunal reconstituted to adjudicate ban imposed on insurgent groups New Delhi, Jan 24 (PTI): The Centre on Thursday reconstituted a tribunal to adjudicate matters related to extension of ban imposed on eight insurgent groups in Manipur for five more years over continued involvement in unlawful and violent activities.

In a notification, the Home Ministry said the tribunal has been set up under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 and will be headed

by Delhi High Court judge Justice G S Sistani.

The tribunal will adjudicate whether or not there is sufficient cause for declaring the Meitei extremist organisations of Manipur as “Unlawful Associations”, the notification said.

On December 12, 2018, the central government had constituted the tribunal headed by Delhi High Court judge Justice Sangita Dhingra Sehgal.

However, due to certain reasons, Justice Sehgal

could not continue with the tribunal and hence the tribunal has been reconstituted with Justice Sistani.

The organisations which were banned in November 2018 include Peoples’ Liberation Army generally known as PLA and its political wing, Revolutionary Peoples’ Front (RPF), United National Liberation Front (UNLF) and its armed wing Manipur Peoples’ Army (MPA), Peoples’ Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK) and its armed wing ‘Red Army’.

The others are Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP) and its armed wing, also called Red Ar my; Kanglei Yaol Kanba Lup (KYKL); the Coordination Committee (CorCom) and Alliance for Socialist Unity Kangleipak (ASUK).

The home ministry said the eight Meitei extremist organisations of Manipur were involved in 756 violent incidents

NEW DELHI, Jan 24 (Agencies): After the final draft citizens’ list in Assam last year left out over 40 lakh people -who were then allowed to file claims and objections

by December 31 -- the Supreme Court has set a deadline for the final list.

The list has to be out by July 31 and no further extension will be allowed, the top court said today.

The final draft of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) was published on July 30 and included the names of 2.89 crore people out of the 3.29 crore who had applied for inclusion into the draft. Of the 40 lakh people who failed to make it to the draft list, over 36 lakh have already submitted claims to be included in the NRC, according to the NRC coordinator.

“Notices will be issued to claimants 15 days before the hearing that starts on February 15,” Assam NRC coordinator Prateek Hajela told the court.

The top court also said that the upcoming national election and the NRC process must go together without affecting each other, and directed the chief secretary of Assam government, secretary of Election Commission and the NRC coordinator in the state to sit together and decide how the staff has to be accommodated for the two exercises.

A bench comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Go-

goi and Justice RF Nariman said Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Assam government, will ensure that the meeting takes place within seven days and the court is informed by February 5, when it wil take up the case again.

The citizens’ list is being updated for the first time since 1951 to recognise Indian citizens living in Assam and identify those who entered the state from Bangladesh. The process was started in 2005 under the then UPA government, but it got a major push after the BJP, which had illegal immigration from Bangladesh as one of its poll planks, came to power in 2014.

“Adequate and ample scope will be given to people for making objections.

No genuine Indian citizen should have any fear,” the Registrar General of India had said.

The draft list of citizens had triggered huge protests. The opposition parties accused the government of targeting Muslims, using illegal migrants as a pretext.

Despite home minister Rajnath Singh’s assurance that the list was a draft and there was no need panic, people in Assam remained apprehensive. The centre as well as the BJP-led government in Assam promised that there would be no arrests or deportations until all the claims in the NRC draft were verified.

Shillong, Jan 24: A Navy team on Thursday pulled out a body from a 370 deep feet flooded coal mine in Meghalaya’s East Jaintia Hills district where 14 miners still remain trapped since December 13. A 15-member Naval team from Visakhapatnam will continue to search for the other remaining miners trapped inside the “rat- hole” coal mine usually only 3-4 feet high with the help of the underwater remotely operated vehicle, one of the senior rescue official said. The highly decomposed body of an unidentified miner was pulled to the water surface by an underwater remotely operated vehicle and then taken out by a bucket crane. The body was retrieved 42 days after the miners were trapped inside “rat-hole” mines.

Soon after the body was brought to the top, a magistrate conducted an inquest and medical official conducted the autopsy at the spot in presence of DC F.M.Dopth and District Health and Medical Officer, Dr. Mitul Sangma, Rescue Operation Spokesperson, Reginald Susngi said. He said the body is now kept at a cold storage in the Community Health Centre at Khliehriat, the district headquarters of East Jaiñtia Hills. Khloo Ryngksan, known as Ksan village, is about 130 km from Meghalaya’s capital Shillong. With none of the relatives of the trapped miners were present at the tragedy site, additional chief secretary Peter Ingty said that he has instructed Dopth to inform the families of the miners about the recovery of the body.

Dearest Ayo, Happy Birthday Ayo.We are so happy and thrill to wish you today.We know that you grow older today,but we also know that as you grow older you will definiely become wiser.

Cong may go solo in Andhra, Bengal

Congress workers burn fire-crackers to celebrate the appointment of Priyanka Gandhi as All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary of Uttar Pradesh East, in Jammu, Thursday. (PTI)

NEW DELHI, Jan 24 (Agencies): The Congress, which has often pitched for a grand opposition coalition to defeat the BJP in the national election due by May, is believed to have remodeled its strategy and decided to fly solo in more than one state. Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal are among them.

According to NDTV, the party made it official in Andhra Pradesh on Wednes-

day, a day after Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu’s meeting with Congress chief Rahul Gandhi. The Congress will contest all 25 parliamentary seats in the national polls and all 175 assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, announced the party’s Oommen Chandy.

This means no Grand Alliance between the Congress and Mr Naidu’s ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in Andhra Pradesh. The two

CBI books Kochhar, husband in ICICI Bank-Videocon case NEW DELHI, JAN 24 (PTI): The CBI has booked former ICICI Bank CEO and MD Chanda Kochhar, her husband Deepak Kochhar and Videocon group MD Venugopal Dhoot in connection with alleged cheating and irregularities in loans sanctioned by the bank to the group in 2012, officials said on Thursday.

The agency Thursday carried out searches at multiple locations, including the offices of Videocon group in Mumbai and Aurangabad, offices of Nupower Renewables Pvt Limited, which is operated by Deepak Kochhar, and Supreme Energy after registering a case.

“It was alleged that the accused sanctioned certain loans to private companies in a criminal conspiracy with others to cheat the ICICI Bank,” the CBI spokesperson said. In addition to Chanda, her husband Deepak and Dhoot, the agency has also named companies Nupower Renewables, Supreme Energy, Videocon International Electronics Ltd and Videocon Industries limited as accused in the

K’taka minister compares media with terrorists Bengaluru, Jan 24 (PTI): Karnataka social welfare minister Priyank Kharge Thursday caused a stir after seeking to compare media with terrorists claiming incidents of “partial truth” in reporting, but later clarified he meant no offence.

“Nobody should take offensive. My personal opinion is that the terrorists kill with a single bullet but the media keeps killing, he told a group of students of mass communication here, adding he himself was a victim. Media does not listen completely and presents only partial truth without thinking of the consequences, he alleged. In this era of breaking news, in this era of TRP, only partial is heard and partial truth is made public. Nobody is bothered to check whether that is true or false, or good or bad. I am also a victim of it, the minister said. Kharge sermoned students that he was saying so to make them understand their responsibilities as journalists. You too have as much responsibility as we (policymakers) have because you are opinion creators, Kharge said.

Chanda Kochhar (PTI) FIR registered under IPC sections related to criminal conspiracy and provisions of prevention of corruption Act, they said.

It is alleged that Videocon promoter Venugopal Dhoot allegedly invested crores of rupees in Nupower months after the Videocon group got Rs 3,250 crore as loan from the ICICI Bank in 2012, they said. The move comes 10 months after the CBI registered a preliminary enquiry (PE) against Videocon promoter Venugopal Dhoot, Deepak Kochhar and unidentified others in March last year, they said. A PE is a precursor before the agency lodges an FIR to probe criminal charges on the basis of evidence collected during the former exercise.

parties had tied up for the recent Telangana election but the results were disastrous.

There was no chemistry and the two consider each other as liabilities.

For the Congress, the TDP was a dead weight in Telangana; for Mr Naidu, the Congress is of no use in Andhra, where there is immense public anger against the party seen to have bifurcated Andhra Pradesh and presided over

the birth of Telangana. Also, Jagan Mohan Reddy of the opposition YSR Congress is striding across Andhra Pradesh like a mini-colossus with multiple roadshows.

In 2014, the Congress had drawn a blank in both the state and Lok Sabha polls in Andhra Pradesh. The party, however, calculates that it can only improve its score from there, especially if it can pitch itself as an alternative to Jagan Mohan Reddy’s party and split the anti-TDP votes.

In West Bengal, any alliance between the Congress and Mamata Banerjee is virtually ruled out. The Bengal Congress wants no truck with “Mamata-di” - as Rahul Gandhi had addressed her in his message of support for her mega opposition unity show on Saturday in Kolkata. Mr Gandhi didn’t attend the event but sent two representatives, Abhishek Manu Singhvi and Mallikarjun Kharge.

For the Trinamool, an alliance with the Congress is a burden as it will mean having to share seats with it, seats it would possibly win on its own. Trinamool does not need the Congress, which has withered in

Bengal over the years with many lawmakers crossing over to the Trinamool.

With Rahul Gandhi’s sister Priyanka Gandhi in the picture - even if her formal debut takes place far away in Uttar Pradesh - the Congress rank and file have found confidence.

“The Congress will not play on the back foot anywhere. We will play on the front foot,” Rahul Gandhi said moments after announcing his sister’s plunge into politics.

That may be true not just for Uttar Pradesh, where the Congress was dumped by Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav.

In Delhi too, new state Congress chief Sheila Dikshit indicated that any alliance with Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is a remote possibility though Mr Kejriwal himself has even today not entirely ruled it out.

Party leaders, however, say the Congress is still planning on alliances with Sharad Pawar’s NCP in Maharashtra, the UDF in Kerala, MK Stalin’s DMK in Tamil Nadu, the Janata Dal Secular in Karnataka, RJD in Bihar and JMM in Jharkhand.

MP govt withdraw cases on conversions

B h o p a l , J a n 24(AGENCIES): The false cases filed by the previous BJP government in Madhya Pradesh against Muslims and Christians in charge of religious conversions will be withdrawn, said the Madhya Pradesh Law Minister PC Sharma on Tuesday.

“We will review only false cases of conversion and cases in which Christian and Muslim community members were booked for taking part in protests,” He further said that the process is meant for all, and includes Congress workers, farmers, Muslims and Christians. We will review only false cases of forced conversion.

The Congress government’s new move has stirred a major controversy in the state. The BJP has dubbed it “politics of appeasement”, and a bid to promote conversions in the state The Madhya Pradesh CM Kamal Nath government has already announced amnesty in “politically-motivated cases” filed in the BJP rule against political workers and activists, and cases filed against

farmers during kisan agitations including the cases filed against members of Dalit community during April 2, 2018 Bharat Bandh which followed the Supreme Court ruling on SC/ ST atrocities act 1989.

T h e d e ve l o p m e n t came a day after Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) warned of withdrawing its support to the Congress party in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan if Bharat Bandh cases filed against Dalits are not withdrawn.

According to the 2011 Census, Muslims constitute 6.6 per cent of MP’s population and Christians 0.3 per cent. Recently, a delegation of National coordinator of Rashtriya Isai Mahasangh, led by Father Anand Muttungal, met Sharma, and demanded withdrawal of ‘fake cases of conversions’ filed against members of the Christian community in the BJP tenure.

“More than 400 cases were lodged against Christians without any basis. We met the law minister and submitted that the BJP-led government in Madhya Pradesh had persecuted Christians in the name of

conversion to take revenge because they believe that Christians are supporters of Congress. Of the 264 select cases registered against Christians from 2003 to 2018, not even one has been proved so far,” father Muttungal said.

On Monday, Sharma said that Congress government will withdraw all “politically motivated cases”, irrespective of caste. And the very next day, Sharma announced that cases registered by previous BJP government against Muslims and Christians will also be withdrawn. The move has miffed the BJP. The party’s state spokesperson Rajneesh Agrawal alleged that the Congress government’s stand to review and withdraw cases related to conversion is mere vote bank politics, and goes against the Constitution.

“The Congress government’s move will embolden missionaries to engage in conversion. If the Congress government withdraws cases, the BJP will oppose it tooth and nail,’’ he said, adding that even the Father of the Nation [M K Gandhi] was against conversion.

Priyanka’s entry a game changer: Pilot; BJP says no impact in Lok Sabha polls Jaipur/New Delhi, Jan 24 (PTI): Priyanka Gandhi’s formal entry into politics was Thursday described as a gamechanger in the next three months

by Rajasthan’s deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot, as the surprise move was dismissed by the BJP as having no impact on the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

As Priyanka’s political plunge generated enthusiastic support from more Congress leaders, posters urging her to contest the coming general elections from Varanasi-- Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Lok Sabha constituency-- came up in the holy city.

“The move is going to be the game change in the next three months,” Pilot said, amid speculation that Priyanka will stage a road show in UP next month.

The elections to the Lok Sabha are due in April-May this year.

Pilot was speaking at a session titled ‘Democracy, Freedom and the Political Process: Looking to the Future’ on the first day of Jaipur Literature Festival in Rajasthan. “Everyone in the Congress party works as a team and as far as Priyanka is concerned has been handling (the Congress) war room for long and hence we should not prejudge her qualities and ability,” he said, adding that both Rahul and Priyanka complement each other.

Pilot was replying to a question on what qualities did Priyanka Gandhi have

Sachin Pilot

Manoj Sinha

which Rahul Gandhi does not possess.

Addressing a public meeting in Salon area in Amethi on the second day of his visit to his parliamentary constituency, Gandhi said the Congress will fight the coming Lok Sabha polls with “full strength”.

Rahul Gandhi termed himself, his sister and mother Sonia Gandhi as “soldiers” for the people of the constituency.

Former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat, a senior Congress leader, said Priyanka Gandhi’s entry into active politics is full of possibilities and bound to pave the way for UPA’s return to power at the Centre. “Priyanka Gandhi’s entry into active politics is full of possibilities. I am sure it will revive the party in UP with people from all sections rallying behind the Congress the way they did in 2009 at the call of Rahul Gandhi paving the way for UPA-II,” the AICC general secretary in-charge of Assam said.

Claiming that Priyanka Gandhi’s political plunge will have no impact on the

Lok Sabha polls, Union Minister Manoj Sinha, who is BJP’s Lok Sabha MP from Ghazipur in eastern UP, said her appointment may have generated a buzz in Delhi but claimed it has drawn no response from the region of which she has been made in-charge by her party.

Sinha said the appointment is an attempt by the Congress to gain some importance in Uttar Pradesh as it was left in a “bad shape” after being left out of the opposition SP-BSP alliance.

At a BJP press conference in Delhi, he also played down ally Shiv Sena’s praise for Priyanka Gandhi, saying it is the party’s “personal opinion”. “Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was made a general secretary in Delhi and you people have been discussing it here. But it seems that people of the region of which she has been made in-charge are not noticing it,” Sinha said.

He said the Lok Sabha elections will be fought on a “different plane”, stressing that the Modi government has “changed the lives of 22 crore families with its development policies”.

Registration will comprise of three stages / steps : Basic Registration, Generation of Code for Final Registration and Final Registration (Payment of fee and City Choice).

From past experience it has been found that a majority of rejections are due to improper filling of details other than educational qualifications and improper images. In the first stage applicants desirous of appearing in the AIIMS – M.Sc. Nursing / M.Sc. Courses / M. Biotechnology -2019 Entrance Examination in future will be able to initially register by filling basic details and uploading images almost six month in advance (Basic Registration). These particulars and images will be screened and there would be adequate time to correct errors and deficiencies.

Candidates will be informed whether their registration is accepted, and their details will be stored with a unique identification number. Thus, candidates will not be subjected to pressures of last minute rush and fear of rejection of applications without any time left to make amends. Basic Registration process is free of any charges and thus no payment shall be collected at this stage.

Since applicants may not have completed their eligibility of examinations etc, certain details may not be collected at the time of Basic Registration.

Currently only one time Basic Registration is required for all Postgraduate Courses [AIIMS PG, M.Sc. Nursing / M.Sc. Courses / M. Biotechnology etc.]. Therefore, following accepted Basic Registration for PG Courses, one can complete Generation of Code, Final Registration for any of the Postgraduate Courses subsequently.

At a specified time prior to the entrance examination [M.Sc. Nursing / M.Sc. Courses / M. Biotechnology] for the year 2019, the Basic Registration will be closed and no further applications for that particular year will be allowed. The Prospectus with Examination city will be uploaded before start of Generation of Code for Final Registration. Applicants who have completed Basic Registration that have been accepted can thus decide to either appear for the examination of this year or subsequently. In case any applicant does not wish to appear this year, he/she need not proceed to Generation of Code for Final Registration and Final Registration (Payment of fee and City Choice). His/her Basic Registration details will be stored and will be valid for the subsequent years. In case the applicant desires to take the examination as announced, he/she can proceed for Generation of Code for Final Registration and Final Registration (Payment of fee and City Choice).

Those who have already completed Basic Registration once need not fill these details again whether or not they appear for AIIMSM.Sc. Nursing / M.Sc. Courses / M. Biotechnology -2019 Entrance Examination. However, every time the dates for Final Registration for subsequent Entrance Examinations are made, the steps of Generation of Code & Final Registration will have to be completed. While Basic Registration is enduring, Generation of Code for Final Registration and Final Registration (Payment of fee and City Choice) is examination specific.

All prospective candidates will have the facility of ensuring their Basic Registration details are completed and accepted in all respects, well in advance. It would also ensure that only those applications that are complete in all respects and accepted at the Basic Registration stage are permitted to Generate Code for Final Registration and complete Final Registration (Payment of fee and City Choice).

Members of AIFNN after their first convention on January 22 in Dimapur.

DIMAPUR: Association of ICPS Funded NGOS of Nagaland (AIFNN) held its first convention on January 22 at Prodigal’s Home

(From p-1) that “the Sumi Labour Corp is not interested in who formed the Naga Club and believes whoever formed it should be honoured.”

Also dwelling on the subject of Naga nationalism, Dr Chishi opined that the seeds were first sown in 1918 through the Naga Club (NC) as members of the corps were also members of the club. It was during this period that Nagas forged an emotional and sentimental bonding and realized that they had a separate political identity.

Further expounding on the journey of 2000 brave Naga men led by Kuhoi Sema Naga and Hekikhe Awomi to France in 1917, Dr Chishi revealed that the British had three primary reasons to induct the Nagas-to incite fear among the German forces by displaying the traditional Naga paraphernalia wielding machetes and spears, to undertake manual works like repairing roads and bridges, supplying ammunition in trenches where they were also killed, and

they were also ordered to act in a traditional warfare manner at a given opportunity, thereby “exploiting their savagery.”

Dr Chishi narrated that two main groups travelled to France; 688 men on June 21, 1917 and 922 men on July 22, 1917. Of the 2000 men that set sail to France, 1000 were Semas, the remaining 1000 consisted of 400 Lothas, 200 Aos, 200 Rengmas, 200 Changs including the frontier tribes-Konyak and Sangtam etc.

These men undertook their journey on foot. While the Mokokchung batch travelled to Mariani, the Kohima batch travelled to Dimapur and the two groups met at Jalpaiguri.

It is believed that more than 300 men were perhaps not fit to sail to France from Mumbai. The hardships were however far from over as of these men not exposed to modern warfare died of sea sickness and due to drinking saline water.

They also lost their lives in bombardment from enemy forces, and on the line of duty, Dr Chishi added.

Though they were primarily employed for manual labour, they were asked to bring along their machetes and spears.

In his welcome address, Superintendent of Post, Nagaland, Lalramzauva informed those present of the Philatelic Deposit Account (PDA) where account holders can order for new stamps, First Day Cover, brochures as well as new postal stationery from the Philatelic Bureau by paying a nominal fee of Rs. 200.

Another facility revealed

by Lalramzauva was the “My Stamp” facility where one can get his or her photo printed in the form of a postage stamp.

LFHSS chairman and principal, Andrew Ahoto elaborated on the importance of philately as a hobby while also calling for the government to acknowledge

NH said the plea of the PDA to link Bengal Eastern Regulation Act of 1873 also called Inner line Permit (ILP) with CAB was either total ignorance or a political game. Referring to the claims of the PDA government that CAB did not infringe upon Art 371(A), NH said that if it was so, the government should call for a special assembly session to pass the resolution against CAB before passage of the Bill in the Rajya Sabha. Apart from NDPP and BJP, NH has also asked other coalition partners like JD (U), Independent and NPP to spell out their position to the Nagas.

NH also cited the promise made by BJP president Amit Shah in Kolkata on January 21- to grant Indian citizenship to all Bengali refugees with the passage of CAB adding the concern for Nagaland state was justified. NH alleged that BJP-led NDA government’s policy was to enslave the indigenous people of the North East considering the strategic location of the region. NH also cautioned that Nagaland was also not far from Assam to be over populated with migrants. Further NH also backed Republic Day boycott call by the NSF and all other organisations opposed to CAB. NH said the decision to boycott R-Day was “most befitting to show our resentment to the Centre.”

NH: Naga Hoho through its communication cell, has vehemently rejected the Bill terming it as a “sinister design of BJP-led NDA” to curb the inherent rights of indigenous peoples from living freely in their own land through “demographic politics” to undermine their sentiments.

Naga Hoho has therefore asked the PDA government to convene a special session of the assembly to pass a resolution against CAB before the bill was passed in the Rajya Sabha. NH termed is a “ridiculous” the decision of the PDA government in not taking a strong stand against CAB.

The government has also barred online marketplaces like Flipkart and Amazon from selling products of companies where they hold stakes and banned exclusive marketing arrangements that could influence product prices.

The revised policy on foreign direct investment in online retail also requires these firms to offer equal services and facilities to all its vendors without discrimination. The policy would be effective from February 2019.

In India, the policy as such does not permit FDI in inventory-based model of e-commerce.

Companies have been seeking more time to implement the changes even as some of them have warned that these substantial modifications in the way they do business pose risks of derailing the e-commerce sector that has been a big job creator.

Executives from another global retail major said the impact could also be felt by several connected sectors such as advertising, logistics, warehousing and manufacturing.

“All politicians should refrain from playing ‘vote bank Poly tricks’ on such sensitive issues. They shouldn’t be splitting the strength of the people to conceal their misrule and in capabilities,” it said.

ENSF reaffirmed its commitment to safeguard the rights of the indigenous people of the region and will not hesitate to oppose the “nefarious bill” tooth and nail.

In this regard, ENSF has directed and empowered all its federating units to boycott the R-Day in their respective jurisdiction while also seeking the cooperation of the public. It further asked all educational institutions, schools and colleges to refrain from taking part in any events pertaining to R-Day celebrations. ENSF warned of stern action against those failing to comply with the directive. RSU: In adherence to the NSF directive, the Rengma Students’ Union (RSU) has also decided to boycott the R-Day celebration under Tseminyu sub-division. In this regard, RSU president Kisheto Kent Rengma and general secretary Andrew Kent appealed to all federating units, subordinate bodies, educational institutions, students and concern citizens of the community not to participate in any government event in connection with the R-Day celebration. LSU: Lotha Students’ Union president, Lipemo M Tsopoe and general secretary Ashanthung Humtsoe informed that the union, in support of the NSF directive, has decided to boycott the R-Day celebrations on January 26.

India’s FDI policy allows 100 per cent foreign direct investment in marketplace model, but investors also want a stable policy and regulatory regime, a senior official of a leading online retailer said.

An industr y lobby group official said there is a fear that certain new rules proposed by the government could lead to discrimination against investors as this policy is only for foreign players and not for domestic ones in the ecommerce sector.

Another executive claimed it is being seen as a non-consultative approach even with investors who bring in huge foreign direct investment.

However, government officials rejected these allegations and said the new changes seek to safeguard competition and the interest of domestic players. The rules have been made after due consideration and consultations with concerned stakeholders, they added.

The Commerce and Industry Ministry brought certain changes to Press Note 2 on December 26, 2018 which prohibited ecommerce companies from entering into an agreement for exclusive sale of prod-

Davos, Jan 24 (PTI): Several global business leaders have raised concerns over the evolving regulatory challenges concerning the e-commerce sector in India and said they want a stable policy regime to help this space achieve its robust growth and investment potential.

Multiple business leaders attending the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting here said there are confusions in their mind in the backdrop of recent policy changes for e-commerce players having FDI in India.

They did not want to be named, given the sensitivity of the subject and the evolving nature of the proposed rules, but said they have directly, or through their representatives, raised their concerns with the government.

They wanted to raise the issue directly with Commerce and Industry Minister Suresh Prabhu in Davos, but his plan to come here got changed at the last moment.

At a session here at the WEF meeting, WTO chief Roberto Azevedo also said there was a need for a global multilateral framework on e-commerce business.

Trump delays State of the Union address 13 dead in two days of Venezuela unrest Washington, Jan 24 (PTI): President Donald Trump Thursday announced that he would delay his State of the Union address until a crippling government shutdown ends, backing down in a major spat with the Democrats over his plan to build a controversial border wall along the US-Mexico border.

His announcement came after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rescinded an invitation for him to deliver the speech in the House Chamber.

A row between Trump and the Democrats over border security has led to the longest government shutdown in US history.

Trump is demanding USD 5.7 billion of congressional funding to build a wall on the US-Mexico border, but newly empowered Democrats have refused.

Some 800,000 federal employees have been going unpaid since December 22 due to the shutdown.

Donald Trump reacts as he is told by a reporter that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House won’t pass the required measure for him to make the State of the Union address until the government is fully opened.

Trump announcing his decision said it was Pelosi’s “prerogative” to suggest a later date.

“As the Shutdown was going on, Nancy Pelosi asked me to give the State of the Union Address. I agreed.

She then changed her mind because of the shutdown, suggesting a later date. This is her prerogative - I will do the Address when the Shutdown is over,” Trump said.

“I am not looking for

an ... alternative venue for the SOTU Address because there is no venue that can compete with the history, tradition and importance of the House Chamber. I look forward to giving a ‘great’ State of the Union Address in the near future!”

On Wednesday House Speaker Nancy Pelosi withdrew an invitation for him to address Congress, saying government services should fully reopen first.

Trump initially said the speech should be “on time, on schedule, and very importantly, on location.”

Trump in a letter to Pelosi on Wednesday had asserted that there are no security concerns as claimed by her in a January 3 letter, and as such he looks forward to seeing her at the Congress on January 29 to deliver his annual State of the Union Address.

On Thursday, Pelosi

fired back, telling Trump that “the House of Representatives will not consider a concurrent resolution authorising the President’s State of the Union Address in the House Chamber until government has opened”.

“Again, I look forward to welcoming you to the House on a mutually agreeable date for this address when government has been opened,” she wrote.

Pe l o s i r e a c t e d t o Trump’s decision by hoping he would back a Housepassed bill to reopen the parts of the government shuttered for more than a month.

“Mr President, I hope by saying ‘near future’ you mean you will support the House-passed package to #EndTheShutdown that the Senate will vote on tomorrow,” Pelosi said on Twitter.

“Please accept this proposal so we can re-open government, repay our federal workers and then negotiate our differences.”

C a r a c a s, J a n 2 4 (AFP): Thirteen people have died during two days of unrest in Venezuela amid protests against leftist leader Nicolas Maduro, a Caracasbased rights group reported Thursday.

The deaths, mostly from gunshot wounds, were recorded in the capital and across the country, along with reports of looting in Brazilian border state Bolivar, the Venezuelan Observatory of Social Conflict told AFP. Unrest first kicked off on Monday when 27 soldiers rose up against Maduro at a command post in Caracas, calling upon people to “take to the streets” in a video circulated on social media.

But the most fierce began Tuesday night in Caracas and Bolivar -- continuing Wednesday throughout Venezuela on a day of huge opposition-backed demonstrations against Maduro.

The head of the Pahang royal family was next in line in take over from the former king, Sultan Muhammad V, who is the head of the state of Kelantan. Sultan Muhammad abdicated this month after just two years on the throne, the first time a monarch had stepped down before completing their tenure.

His ascent to the Pahang throne, was seen as a sign that he would take over as the new monarch.

Washington, Jan 24 (IANS): A 21-year-old gunman opened fire in a bank in the US state of Florida and killed five people before surrendering himself to a SWAT team, the police said.

The suspect called authorities to say he had opened fire in SunTrust Bank branch in Florida’s small city of Sebring on Wednesday. Authorities identified the suspect as Sebring resident Zephen Xaver, CNN reported.

Negotiations to try to get the barricaded suspect to leave the bank were not successful. What followed was a tense standoff with police negotiators that ended when an armoured police vehicle rammed into the bank doors, shattering their glass, according to a video footage.

The police said in a statement that the suspect eventually surrendered to the SWAT team at the bank. Video from the scene showed officers inching towards the broken glass with their firearms drawn. They soon

Chaos erupted when dozens of young people, some hooded, blocked a key route through the wealthy Altamira neighborhood -only for military personnel to fire tear gasses and rub-

Apart from the capital Caracas, deaths were reported in Tachira, Barinas, Portuguesa, Amazonas and Bolivar states.

Wednesday’s demonstration, meanwhile, marked the first significant clash between the government and the opposition in the streets after violent protests left 125 people dead between April and July 2017.

head of India’s 70th Republic Day on January 26 and Lok Sabha elections in AprilMay, TV actors like Mohit Malik, Rohitashv Gour and Sara Khan have pinned hopes on the new government to fight corruption and crimes against women. “I hope to see better infrastructure and employment for the under-privileged and more opportunities for everyone.

I would love to have different coastal ports for internal travel. For example, ferries from Versova to Bandra to cut traffic. I love this city (Mumbai), but the traffic is the only thing that is not in our control and I know it will keep increasing. “So maybe, using another mode of transport like water can help,� “Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala� actor Mohit Malik told IANS. Actress Sara Khan feels that election is the most important time for citizens in a country and its politicians. “We vote for someone with a lot of hope and expectations. I understand that there is a need for time and process to settle down everything. We citizens need to have passion,� she said.

She sees a connection between education and respect for women. Sara of

“Sapna Babul Ka...Bidaai� fame also wants action to be taken against the “ongoing violence against women�.

Actor Rohitashv Gour, currently seen as Manmohan Tiwariji in the show “Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai�, believes that although the “nation’s judicial system has evolved over the years, we have somewhere failed to provide justice to women in general�. “The one alteration to an Indian law that could change the way India sees its women is extreme penalty against minors held for a rape case. If we believe in taking stringent action against those who are responsible for victimising women, the age of the man

should not determine the level of action to be taken against him.�

Talking about women’s empowerment, actress Ashnoor Kaur said: “In the show ‘Patiala Babes’, we talk a lot about women’s empowerment, and the government is undoubtedly working on it, but I feel they should put in more effort.�

She also wants the new government to work on traffic problems, condition of roads and noise pollution.

On this Republic Day, “Main Bhi Ardhangini� actor Avinash Sachdev prays for a better India where “human beings and moral rights will not just be a part of the constitution, but also a part of every Indian’s right�.

Man City ease into Carabao Cup final

Sergio Aguero of Manchester City celebrates with team mates after scoring their side’s first goal.

Lo n d o n, Ja n 2 4 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : M a n chester City saw off Burton 1-0 at the Pirelli Stadium to reach the Carabao Cup final with a 10-0 aggregate victory.

Leading the 9-0 from the first leg, Sergio Aguero’s 26th-minute strike proved enough as a muchchanged City overcame a Burton side keen to avoid a repeat of their trip to the Etihad two weeks prior.

City’s 10-goal winning margin was the biggest in League Cup semi-final history, but battling Burton and freezing conditions left the holders two goals shy of new record for the largest winning margin in the

competition outright. The victory means Pep Guardiola’s side can become the first Manchester City team to defend a major honour when they take on either Chelsea or Tottenham at Wembley on February 24.

Trailing by nine goals from the first leg and needing to inflict a club-record defeat on City to progress, pride was all that was at stake for Burton.

City had all of the ball but a combination of Burton’s battling defensive display and testing conditions limited the holders to few clear-cut chances, though Riyad Mahrez should have done better when he flashed wide after getting in behind

Nagaland Post, Dimapur FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 2019

Damien McCrory. Burton were a fingertip away from reducing the deficit to eight when Liam Boyce won and then got on the end of a free-kick, but Arijanet Muric got down just in time to keep his near-post flick out.

City were soon back on the attack but Mahrez failed to find the target with another left-footed shot from distance but Burton’s resistance was soon broken on 26 minutes.

Kev i n d e B r u y n e showed great feet to get away from two players in midfield before releasing Mahrez down the right, from where the Algerian squared for Aguero to dis-

patch from 12 yards.

Fabian Delph should have doubled City’s lead with eight minutes of the restart, but his two scuffed efforts were kept out by Bradley Collins. Burton then went straight up the other end where they had an appeal for a penalty, but referee Kevin Friend was unmoved by David Templeton’s coming together with Danilo.

Aguero submitted a contender for miss of the season on the hour when he sliced a shot wide after great work from Phil Foden presented the Argentine with a gilt-edged chance to double his and City’s tally.

Gabriel Jesus was brought on as City looked for the two extra goals needed to set a new winning margin record in the competition, but the action came at the other end as Eric Garcia denied Burton what would have been a deserved goal, clearing Miller’s attempted rebound off the line 20 minutes from time.

Jesus weaved his way into the area on 88 minutes only to see a shot blocked behind by Collins, before the Burton goalkeeper tipped a 25-yard Danilo free-kick over as the Brewers limited City to just the single goal.

Indonesia Masters: Sindhu, Saina reach quarter finals

PV Sindhu

J a k a rta , J a n 2 4 (PTI): Indian trio of P V Sindhu, Saina Nehwal and Kidambi Srikanth eased into Indonesia Masters’ quarterfinal with straightgame victories over their respective opponents, here Thursday.

Second seed Sindhu defeated local favourite Gregoria Mariska Tunjung 23-21 21-7 in 37 minutes to make the last-eight stage of her season-opener.

The 23-year-old from Hyderabad, who had won silver medals at the Commonwealth Games, World Championship and Asian Games before clinching the World Tour Final title last year, is expected to take on Spain’s Carolina Marin next.

London bronze medallist Saina too stormed

Saina Nehwal

into the last eight with a 21-17 21-15 win over Indonesia’s Fitriani Fitriani, her fifth overall.

Eighth seed Srikanth recorded a clinical 21-14 21-9 win over Japan’s Asian Games bronze medallist Kenta Nishimoto.

Srikanth, who had reached the quarterfinals at Malaysia Masters last week, will face either Indonesia’s Asian Games champion Jonatan Christie or China’s reigning All England champion Shi Yuqi.

However, men’s doubles pair of Manu Attri and B Sumeeth Reddy went down fighting 14-21 21-17 10-21 to fifth seeded Kim Astrup and Anders Skaarup Rasmussen of Denmark. Sindhu, who had to pull out all stops

against former Olympic champion Li Xuerui in the opening match, faced stiff competition in the extended opening game against Tunjung.

However, she completely dominated the second to wrap up the match in 37 minutes and extend her unbeaten record against Tunjung to 5-0.

Srikanth, who had lost to the Japanese in their last meeting but held a 3-1 overall edge, quickly erased a 2-5 deficit early on and never looked back after grabbing a 11-8 lead at the break in the opening game.

The Indian dominated the second game with an initial 6-0 lead which he swelled to 18-8 after the break to eventually wrap up lop-sided contest in half an hour.

PSG reach French Cup last 16

New Delhi, Jan 24 (PTI): The suspensions on Indian cricketers Hardik Pandya and K L Rahul were Thursday lifted by the Committee of Administrators (CoA), two weeks after they were sent home from the tour of Australia due to their sexist comments on a TV show.

The CoA, after consulting new amicus curiae P S Narsimha, decided to lift the suspension pending an inquiry, for which an ombudsman is to be appointed by the Supreme Court. The apex court has listed the matter tentatively for February 5.

“The above matter and decision has been taken with the concurrence of the Learned Amicus Curiae, Mr. P.S. Narasimha. In view of the above, the suspension

orders dated 11.01.2019 is immediately lifted pending appointment and adjudication of the allegations by the BCCI Ombudsman,” read a statement of CoA, issued by the BCCI. Pandya is now expected to join the team in New Zealand while Rahul might play in either domestic circuit or show up for India A in an ongoing home series against England Lions.

While Diana Edulji wanted the BCCI officebearers to be involved in deciding the fate of the two cricketers, CoA chief Vinod Rai had dismissed the suggestion as it would have been in violation of the Board constitution.

The CoA said the decision to suspend the two players was taken under “Rule 46 of the approved

PSG’s Neymar challenge for the ball with Strasbourg’s Dimitri Lienard and Nuno Da Costa during the French Cup match in Paris on Wednesday. (AP/PTI)

Paris, Jan 24 (Agencies): Holders Paris SaintGermain advanced to the last 16 of the French Cup with a 2-0 win over Strasbourg on Wednesday, but their evening was marred by the sight of Neymar going off injured.

Edinson Cavani and Angel di Maria got the goals on a bitterly cold night at the Parc des Princes, while in between Neymar limped off having hurt his right foot.

The Brazilian covered his eyes as he went off to be replaced by Moussa Diaby just after the hour mark, a worrying sign for the PSG camp with the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Manchester United less than K Y M C

three weeks away. “He is at the hospital and I must wait for the doctor to give me news,” said PSG coach Thomas Tuchel after the game.

The world’s most expensive player broke a bone in the same foot in February last year and missed the final three months of last season as a result. Tuchel added, “The doctor is worried, ‘Ney’ is worried, because it is the same foot, the same place.”

Tuchel had left out the ill Kylian Mbappe for this game, with Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting handed a rare start in place of the superstar France forward.

The Cameroon international set up Cavani for the fourth-minute opener,

before Di Maria -- who had earlier hit the post -finished into the roof of the net 10 minutes from time as PSG stay on track to win the French Cup for the fifth season running.

Before kick-off, fans applauded and chanted the name of Emiliano Sala, the former Nantes striker who is feared dead after the plane he was travelling in disappeared over the Channel Islands on Monday as he was on his way to join his new club Cardiff City.

Nantes’ own Cup tie away at third-tier Entente Sannois Saint-Gratien has been postponed until Sunday, with their players still in shock over Sala’s disappearance.

Kvitova, Osaka in Aus Open final

the 21-year-old made it to her second straight Grand Slam final with her 15th ace to seal the match in an hour and 53 minutes.

Nadal powers into final

Petra Kvitova

MELBOURNE, Jan 24 (Agencies): Petra Kvitova will compete in her first Grand Slam final in five years after ending the fairytale run of unseeded American Danielle Collins with a decisive 7-6(2) 6-0 victory and will meet Japan’s Naomi Osaka who overcame Czech Republic’s Karolina Pliskova by 2-1 sets.

The match between Kvitova and Collins was riven with tension, with a delay to close the roof during the first set due to the stifling conditions and a malfunction of the net cord sensor at the start of the second that left server Collins fuming.

Kvitova capitalised on the American’s distraction to break her three times in succession on the way to an emphatic victory that made her the first Czech woman to reach the Melbourne final since Jana Novotna lost the 1991 decider to Monica Seles.

Naomi Osaka

Collins was angered when the net cord technology failed at 15-30 when she was on serve during the opening game of the second set.

Having won the point, she was made to replay it and remonstrated with chair umpire Carlos Ramos.

The technology gave up another phantom beep on Collins’s replayed serve and Ramos told both players there had been a malfunction.

Re-starting with a second serve, Collins gave up a backhand unforced error to concede two break points.

She saved one with a big backhand winner but netted on the second.

From there, things quickly went downhill for the American as the Czech ramped up her power game and roared to 5-0.

Collins conceded another unforced error on her forehand to give Kvitova match point and the Czech

fired her 30th winner to claim a clinical win.

U.S. Open champion Naomi Osaka staved off a fightback from Karolina Pliskova to reach her maiden Australian Open final with a 6-2 4-6 6-4 win on Thursday and set up a title clash with double Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova.

Osaka hit winners almost at will from both her forehand and backhand and broke Pliskova’s service games twice while facing not a single breakpoint to canter through the first set.

Pliskova, who had stunned Serena Williams in the quarter-finals, failed to live up to her reputation as a big server but showed a lot of pluck to level the match with a second break at 5-4 after the players had an early trade of breaks.

Osaka converted her only breakpoint opportunity in the decider while her opponent wasted four and

Higuain completes Chelsea loan deal

Higuain signed a six-month loan deal just a few hours after arriving in London on Wednesday.

LO N D O N, Ja n 2 4 (Agencies): Chelsea have completed the signing of Argentina striker Gonzalo Higuain, who will join the club on loan from Juventus until the end of the season, the Premier League club said on Wednesday.

Higuain joins Chelsea after his year-long loan spell with AC Milan was cut to less than six months. The deal reunites the striker with Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri, who was manager of Napoli when Higuain was

at the club.

“When the opportunity to join Chelsea presented itself I had to take it.

It’s a team I’ve always liked that has a lot of history, a wonderful stadium and they play in the Premier League, a league I’ve always wanted to play in,” Higuain said in a statement on the Chelsea website.

“I now hope I can give back that trust Chelsea have shown me out on the pitch.

I can’t wait to start and I hope to adapt as soon as

possible.”

Higuain’s spell at Milan started with six goals in seven games but he has only scored once in his last 12 appearances.

Sarri hopes he will rediscover the form that saw him score 38 times in their final season together at Napoli in 2015-16.

“He has had some difficulties recently, but we’re hoping we can raise him back to his best form,” Sarri told reporters on Wednesday.

“He’s still scored eight goals in a team that isn’t at the same level as Juventus.

He’s a very strong striker.

Especially in my first season in Naples. He scored 36 goals in 35 matches in Serie A. For sure, he is one of the best strikers in my career.”

Chelsea are in the fourth and final Champions League qualifying spot in the Premier League standings, three points ahead of Arsenal.

Rafael Nadal powered into his fifth Australian Open final by ending Stefanos Tsitsipas’ run in their semi-final meeting.

World No 2 Nadal won 6-2 6-4 6-0 and will vie for the Grand Slam title against either Novak Djokovic or Lucas Pouille.

Twenty-year-old Tsitsipas created headlines by eliminating Roger Federer earlier this week but his memorable streak came to an emphatic halt against Nadal.

The 2009 Australian Open champion Nadal still has not dropped a set at this year’s tournament.

He needed just 31 minutes against Tsitsipas to win the opening set, dropping three points on his first serve in the process.

Tsitsipas displayed some mettle in the second set but, when Nadal eventually broke his serve, it became one-way traffic.

Seventeen-time Grand Slam champion Nadal coasted through the final set, with Tsitsipas’ spark finally gone, without losing a game.

Nadal will next play his 25th Grand Slam final.

If he wins, Nadal would have two titles at each Grand Slam which neither Djokovic nor Federer has managed. Djokovic and Pouille play their semi-final on Friday morning.

Real, Barca replace Man Utd as top earning clubs L ondon , J a n 2 4 (Agencies): Real Madrid and Barcelona were the highest earning clubs in European football last season, knocking Manchester United off top spot, according to the latest Deloitte ‘Football Money League’ published on Thursday.

Deloitte based their survey of the top 20 earning clubs in Europe on the annual financial statements of the company or group running each club, or other direct sources, covering the 2017/18 season.

Real returned to top spot for the first time since 2014/15 with revenues of 750.9 million euros ($854.6 million). Their revenue increased by more than 75 million euros year-on-year as they secured their third successive Champions League title.

Deloitte said the rise was “primarily due to commercial growth of 54.8million euros including an uplift in sponsorship, merchandising and exploitation of increasingly lucrative pre-season fixtures.”

Barcelona had earnings of 690.4 million euros, a rise from 648.3 million in the previous year.

Manchester United, who topped last year’s table, saw their revenue calculation fall slightly to 666 million euros from 676.3 million but they are one of a record six Premier League teams in top 10.

There are no Italian clubs in the top 10 with Juventus slipping to 11th place, while Bayern Munich are the sole German club.

Sevilla stun Barca in Copa del Rey

SEVILLE, Jan 24 (Agencies): Sevilla produced a brilliant secondhalf display to beat Barcelona 2-0 in their Copa del Rey quarter-final, first leg on Wednesday, leaving the holders with an uphill task to reach the last four.

After an even first 45 minutes, strikes from Pablo Sarabia and Wissam Ben Yedder stunned the Catalans and left them needing a second-leg comeback at the Nou Camp for the second consecutive round in the competition.

A much-changed Barca, who earlier in the day announced the signing of Frenkie de Jong from Ajax Amsterdam, handed a debut to loan signing KevinPrince Boateng.

Yet star forward Lionel Messi was left at home while forward Luis Suarez and club-record signing Philippe Coutinho were only named on the bench as they struggled.

“We were in the game in the first half and there were chances, but they pressured us more after the break,” said Barca coach

Ernesto Valverde, who said he had “no regrets” over resting Messi. “ W h e n yo u m a k e changes, you take risks. If you win, then it’s all good.

If not, then it isn’t. Last season we paid the price for going far in the cup and this year we’re rotating more because we think it’s the best thing to do. We want to keep our lead at the top of the league and use our squad members to help us.”

Unsurprisingly it was Sevilla, spurred on by a raucous home crowd, who looked the more threatening throughout.

The Andalusian side were incensed when a Video Assistant Referee review deemed Barca’s Arturo Vidal had not handled Ever Banega’s cross after half an hour, with replays indicating the ball had struck the upper part of the Chilean’s arm.

A persistent threat throughout, Ben Yedder fired narrowly wide after a mesmeric solo run, before being denied by a smart save from Barca keeper

Jasper Cillessen.

At the other end, Malcom fired wide after rounding Sevilla keeper Juan Soriano against the run of play on the stroke of halftime.

It was all Sevilla after the break, and Pablo Machin’s side took a deserved lead just before the hour. Quincy Promes drove down the left before crossing for Sarabia, who fired in a half-volley from six metres out.

French forward Ben Yedder then doubled their lead from close range with quarter of an hour to go.

He celebrated by lifting his shirt to reveal the message “For my brother Sala”, in reference to Argentine striker Emiliano Sala, who is currently missing after the plane he was travelling on disappeared over the English channel.

The second leg takes place next Wednesday, while Espanyol take on Real Betis and Real Madrid host Girona on Thursday in the remaining quarterfinal, first legs after Getafe defeated Valencia 1-0 on Tuesday.

Indian eves beat New Zealand in first ODI

Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues stitched a 190-run opening partnership to help India beat New Zealand in first ODI on Thursday.

Napier, Jan 24 (PTI): The in-form Smriti Mandhana and teen sensation Jemimah Rodrigues hammered New Zealand’s clueless bowling attack to steer India to an emphatic ninewicket triumph in the opening ODI of a three-match series here Thursday.

The 22-year-old Mandhana (105) and the 18-yearold Rodrigues (81 not out) put together a batting masterclass after the bowlers did the job for India by

bundling out New Zealand for a below-par 192.

Competing in their first series after the T20 World Cup exit last year, the Indians produced a thoroughly clinical performance to eke out the comfortable victory in 33 overs. Mandhana slammed her fourth ODI hundred, Rodrigues notched up her maiden international half century.

Mandhana and Rodrigues stitched together the highest ever opening wicket

stand against New Zealand, a 190-run partnership that stood for 32.2 overs. Rodrigues was making just her fifth appearance in national colours.

Mandhana’s 104-ball knock included nine fours and three sixes, while Rodrigues managed nine hits to the fence. An overcast sky meant that the two teams did not face the sun-strike that halted play for nearly half an hour in the men’s game on Wednesday.

Earlier, put in to bat, New Zealand let slip a good start and crumbled in the face of India’s relentless spin combination of Poonam Yadav and Ekta Bisht.

Both Bisht and Yadav snared three wickets each to put the visiting side on top.

Yadav, in fact, ripped through the White Ferns’ middle order, claiming the scalps of skipper Amy Satterthwaite (31), Lauren Down (0) and Amelia Kerr (28) in her quota of 10 overs.

This was after Susie Bates (38) and Sophie Devine (28) gave New Zealand a solid start.

But Devine’s run out

by Deepti Sharma triggered a collapse and New Zealand folded in 48.4 overs. Bates’ 38 off 54 balls, including a couple of fours, was the best that any home batsman could manage.

The next match of the series will be played in Mount Maunganui on January 29.
