Ex-Navy chief, officers refute Modi

INS Viraat row after Modi accuses Rajiv of using Navy warship as ‘taxi’

NEW DELHI, MAY 9 (PTI): In a major embarrassment to the government, retired Navy chief, Admiral L. Ramdas, also the former commanding officer of INS Viraat, Thursday rejected Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s claim that the late Rajiv Gandhi and his family had enjoyed a family cruise on the aircraft carrier. A full-blown controversy broke out on Thursday over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s allegation that Rajiv Gandhi used INS Viraat as a “personal taxi”. While Congress alleged that Modi is a “serial liar” who has made Indian Air Force jets his “own taxi”, the BJP hit back with Finance Minister Arun Jaitley saying that the “kaamdars” used India’s naval fleet to strike at terror, “naamdars” used them for personal reasons. While addressing an election rally here on Wednesday, Modi cited an

Non-performing IPS officers under scanner

NEW DELHI, MAY 9 (NPN): Nearly 1,200 IPS officers across the country are on the radar of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) for ‘non-performance’. Without disclosing the names, an official said that the ministry has reviewed the service records of 1,181 IPS officers, out of the total sanctioned strength of 4940, in the past three years to check the deadwood from the government, adding the numbers could go up as review of officers was a continuous process. The review of service records is carried out under Rule 16 (3) of All India Services (Death-cumRetirement Benefits) Rules, 1958 during 2016 and 2018 to check non-performers. As per the rule, Central government in consultation with the state government concerned may ask an IAS officer to retire in public interest by giving at least three months previous notice in writing or three months’ pay and allowances in lieu of such notice. “The periodical review helps the government in assessing performers and checking non-performers. Based on this, performers are encouraged and nonperformers are asked either to improve or face expulsion from service in public interest,” the official said. (Spl. Correspondent/PTI)

Former Navy chief Admiral (retd) Ramdas shared a picture of Rajiv Gandhi during their meeting in December 1987.

old media report to allege that Gandhi used the INS Viraat to go on a holiday with his friends and in-laws as if it was his “personal taxi”. Contradicting Modi, Wajahat Habibullah, who was the then administrator of Lakshwadeep, said the late prime minister and his wife had come to attend a meeting of the Island Development Authority in Kavaratti which lasted for two days and after the official work got over, they left for Bangaram island to join the family and other guests. “His (Gandhi’s) holidays had nothing to do with the official function. The Prime Minister (Modi)

should check facts before making such statements,” he said. Vice Admiral (Retd) Vinod Pasricha, who was commanding the ship during the then prime minister’s visit, trashed reports that Gandhi’s friends and as well as his wife Sonia’s relatives were onboard the warship when he was enroute to Lakshadweep from Trivandrum. “All protocols were followed during Gandhi’s official visit in 1987. No foreigners or other guests were present onboard the ship. The claim was totally wrong,” Vice Admiral (Retd) Pasricha said. Ramdas, who was the Southern Navy Commander

then and was also onboard the INS Viraat, in a statement, said “no foreigners visited INS Viraat and that the prime minister and his wife were onboard the aircraft carrier” following all official protocol. “I would like to state unequivocally, that this was not the case,” he said referring to the media report which was cited by Modi. Ramdas said he issued the statement after getting written responses on the issue from Vice Admiral Pasricha, Admiral (retd) Arun Prakash, who was commanding INS Vindhyagiri and Vice Admiral (retd) Madanjit Singh, who was

the commanding officer of INS Ganga. H oweve r, a n o t h e r former Navy Commander (retd) V K Jaitly, in a tweet, said “Rajiv and Sonia Gandhi used INS Viraat for travel to celebrate their holidays at Bangaram island. Indian Navy resources were used extensively. I am a witness. I was posted on INS Viraat at that time.” Talking to reporters in Bhopal, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman described the former Congress Prime Minister as a martyr, but added it does not mean “we won’t talk about misrule, corruption and policies” of his government.

Cong says Prime Minister Modi a ‘serial liar’ Congress accused Modi of making Indian Air Force jets as his “own taxi” and paying “as low as” Rs. 744 for using IAF aircraft for election trips. Citing a media report, Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said, “You (PM Modi) have made Indian Air Force jets your own Taxi! You have paid as low as Rs. 744 for using IAF jets for election trips. Scared of your own sins haunting you, you are shamelessly pointing fingers on others”. Congress said Modi is a “serial liar” who does not have the courage to fight elections on issues such as unemployment and demonetisation. Reacting to Modi’s allegation, Priyanka Gandhi said on Thursday said that she has never seen “a more coward and weak” Prime Minister than him.

Lack of unity hurdle to solution: Rio D IMA P UR , MAY 9 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio has regretted that Nagas are unable to find a way forward in unified manner on the issues of permanent peace and solution to the Indo-Naga political issue. Speaking at the inaugural session of 28th General Conference of Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) at Bhandari town in Wokha on Thursday, Rio observed that tribal hohos, women bodies and tribal organizations do not have a unified platform to carry forward the Naga voice in a manner that transcends tribes, districts, States and countries. He asserted that resolution of the Indo-Naga political issue was on top of the PDA government’s agenda. He remarked, “Our people have suffered for too long and the political conflict has created challenges and hurdles for generations in realizing their ambitions.” He claimed that the government has taken significant steps in playing the role of an active facilitator in the ongoing peace process so that unity, reconciliation and a final “honourable,

inclusive and acceptable” settlement are reached at the earliest. Mentioning that Nagaland Legislative Assembly (NLA) had unanimously passed resolution recognizing sacrifices and sufferings of Nagas nationalists and their families, the chief minister emphasized that unity amongst all sections, over-ground and amongst national or ganizations is the need of the hour. He said Nagas are at a crucial juncture in history and “unless we live in peace and arrive at the political solution, our future may not be bright”. “We should not only support the peace process, but we have to make sac-

rifices by rising above individualism, clanism and tribalism and instead uphold Nagaism,” he stressed. Lauding the arrangements made for the conference, Rio called upon the student community to remember and honour all the pioneers who made untold sacrifices to enable the present generation to carry on the mantle with vision and commitment to continue to inspire into the future. He said pioneers of NSF had to struggle hard and faced obstacles during the most difficult times of Naga movement and established the federation for the future generations by braving the odds.

DIMAPUR, MAY 9 (NPN): The crisis within Naga People’s Front (NPF) appears to be only deepening with the party suspending 19 of its senior party functionaries from both active and primary membership with immediate effect. In a suspension order, NPF president Dr Shürhozelie Liezietsu stated that it has been confirmed through confidential source/report that they had supported Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) candidate in the last Parliamentary election for the State’s lone Parliamentary constituency, which is totally against the collective decision of the party. Accusing the leaders of threatening to lock Mon division NPF office during a joint meeting with central office bearers in charge of Mon along with the legislature wing in-charge of Mon division on May 2, Dr. Liezietsu said

it was unbecoming on their part as responsible party office bearers and a total breach of party discipline. He said it has been further ascertained through their utterances that they had an intention to destabilise the party. It has also been confirmed that they had an intention to carry out anti-party activities rather than strengthening the party, he added. The suspended party leaders include vice-presidents: CH Yanboh, Longshah, Menlei and Langphong, secretaries: Yati and Yeangshong, Youth Wing -- president Khongwang, vice president Temlei, press secretary Wangting, Women Wing-- president Minching, vice-presidents: Tangam and Yahoi, secretary Ngipsho, adviser Phengmet, Farmers’ Wing-- president Mennyai, vice-president Nahlem, general secretary Enyei and secretaries: Manji and Chingkap.

KOHIMA, MAY 9 (NPN): Nagaland Governor PB Acharya has regretted that despite having completed 50 years of Statehood, Nagaland was still lagging behind rest of the country in terms of economic progress. He attributed this to other parts of India not being aware of the contribution of Nagaland, along with other North-eastern States, to the country’s freedom struggle and overall economic development. Speaking during presentation of certificates to participants of an IT computer workshop, release of a book “4th year in Office” and felicitation programme for Konyak Nyuphu Sheko Khong (KNSK) for creating Guinness World Record at Raj Bhavan here on Wednesday evening, Acharya asserted to ensure a strong and developed nation, fruits of independence should reach all places and the empowered people must empower the un-empowered. According to him, all these years the tribal people were suffering and their present plight

was not their creation, “but because of the greed, deficiency and default of the empowered people from other States”. Acharya lamented that though government schools are spread out across the State, including ENPO areas, with minimum infrastructure, he has not seen anyone from these schools achieving 100% result during his last four years of stay in Nagaland. He said the IT computer workshop held during the last 15 days was to add value to the educational system. Complimenting workshop’s resource person from USM Shriram Mantir Vidyanidhi Info Tech Academy, sponsor Saraswat Co-operative Bank and Indian National Fellowship Centre for conducting the programme successfully, he appealed to Saraswat Co-operative Bank to sponsor more such events to strengthen and participate in the State’s overall development. To have continuity, the governor stressed that the IT computer workshop that was conducted on public-private partnership (PPP) mode must be made into

a project and towards this end, he suggested that the school education department consider purchasing mobile van to tour the State to spread IT knowledge. He exuded confidence that the programme will give birth to a project that will give real IT knowledge to students. Taking pride for creating Guinness World Record, Acharya congratulated KNSK for its effort, stating it was a matter of pride for Nagas and thanked the organization office-bearers for responding to his invitation.

A book on “4th year in Office” was released on the occasion by commissioner & secretary to governor and higher & technical education Dinesh Kumar.

Dimapur, May 9 (NPN): Reacting to the statement made by minister of higher education Imna Along that “Nagas are Indian and Nagas are proud to be part of this great country”, Bendang Aier, kilonser of NSCN (I-M) on behalf of Ao national workers, has asked the minister to clarify his stand “ to the satisfaction of the Nagas who value their national identity as Nagas” and demanded that Imna Along “ must clarify under what context he made the statement.” Slamming Imna Along for making “such outrageous and dishonourable statement”, the Kilonser said it was a bounden duty to “deplore such a despicable statement” which he said was also a “disservice to the Naga people and a ‘sell-out’ of Naga history and political identity.” The kilonser pointed out that even the government of India which signed the historic August 3, 2015 Framework Agreement, has recognised “ the sovereign right of the Naga people” and therefore Along’s statement was a “mockery of the Naga’s political struggle” which has travelled this far under the leadership of NSCN, in holding the ground firm “ to defend God given identity as a sovereign nation.” (Full text on p-6)

Civil Hospital Tsg in pathetic condition: CSUTT D IMA P UR , MAY 9 (NPN): Chang Students Union Tuensang Town (CSUTT) has reminded the state government and the health and family welfare (H&FW) department to take all necessary measures to address the pathetic condition of Tuensang district civil hospital within the stipulated period. In a press release, CSUTT president Thungti Kumba Chang and general secretary Hanso Chang stated that the union had organized a peaceful rally on August 24, 2017 concerning civil hospital Tuensang with a hope that the H&FW department and the state government would take initiative in making the life of Tuensang people easier. Besides, the signatories said that the union in collaboration with Eastern Nagaland Women Organization and Changsao Thangjam Set-

jang (Chang Women Tribal Organization) had from time to time reminded the government about the issue and also submitted representations to H&FW director. They said the union was given assurance that their chartered of demands would be fulfilled. They, however, expressed disappointment that the condition of Tuensang civil hospital was still the same. CSUTT said it “totally agree with the fact” that gazetted officers and doctors would not like to be posted in Tuensang district “one of the backward districts with horrible road condition.” The union, however, questioned “have we really lost humanity in search of our comfy life?” Stating that there are many loopholes and they were “really tired and exhausted of complaining”,

the union said they were not asking for any additional funds, schemes or even manpower. It claimed that 14 doctors were to be posted, but currently there were only 5-7 doctors. CSUTT said they were putting “every little effort but all our cries are left unheard and unnoticed.” The union said it would at no cost entertain the fake promises and assurances, adding that it was not its duty to deploy doctors or how to sort out the issue. The union affirmed that the state government and department should be solely held responsible if the life of a person was threatened due to lack of medical assistance. CSUTT said they were “very much disheartened to see the step motherly treatment” from the department and the state government. (Cont’d on p-7) K Y M C

IMPHAL, May 9: A mass rally was staged in Manipur’s Kakching district on Thursday to protest against the location of designated camps of NSCN(I-M) beyond the territorial limit of the ceasefire agreement. NSCN (I-M), the largest Naga armed group, headquartered at Hebron in Nagaland engaging in peace talks with Union government signed a ceasefire agreement in 1997. Even though, the ceasefire is limited to Nagaland, cadres of the outfit are actively operating in Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh where they have set up camps, referred to as “TNO”, or “taken note of ”, by the Indian security establishment. Today’s mass rally at Kakching Bazar was to

Around 500 people, mostly students and women took part in the rally jointly organised by All Kakching Students’ Union and Joint Non-voluntary Organisation, Kakching. The rally carried out under the main banner “No to poisonous parochial disturbance” read ‘no designated NSCN(I-M) camps in Manipur against the ceasefire rule’. Placards that read “One Manipur one government one policy”, “Let Manipur live in peace and grow together,” “Leave aside poisonous whims,” “Don’t spew communal venom,” etc. were displayed during the protest. The rally kicked started from Irabot Park

and concluded at the same place after it snaked through the streets at Kakching, the largest town of the district curved out from Thoubal district. NSCN(I-M) opened various camps in Manipur and the ceasefire did not extend to Manipur, leaders of bodies that organized the rally alleged. They added that the locations of the camps were against the ceasefire agreement signed between government of India and the outfit. The camps should be removed at the earliest, they added. The protest rally was staged in the backdrop of recent stand-off between cadres of the outfit and troops of Assam Rifles after the later objected opening of an unauthorised camp of the outfit near Sihai village at the Indo-Myanmar border

She alleged that almost all the paddy fields, the main livelihood of the people of the area have been damaged by the waste products of the works. The concerned authority also did not compensated properly and delay in disbursement of the compensation was another problem facing by the people, she added. Most importantly, the water of the rivers running in the area is no more potable. The rivers were almost polluted by the waste products of the railway works that drained to the rivers, she added. Kamei alleged that various aquatic animals and also many habitats were also lost due to the project, adding that the project has affected both the hill and valley.

mitigate the harms done to the environment and affecting the people in their socio economic life by the project, she added. In his key note address, rights activist Kiran Thokchom, a member of the organising bodies highlighted the impact of the railway project and said that the railway project must be stopped as the implementing authority failed to address the plights of the people affected by the project. Kiran said that the railway project has affected the lives of the people and the surrounding villages drastically. “Not only the agricultural lands but water resources are also greatly affected,” he claimed. The available water bodies were polluted by cement used in the construction causing various diseases to the people living in and around the area. The organising bodies have a firm stand to fight against such environment degradation and the violation of right to water by the authorities.

He alleged a hidden agenda on the implementation of the railway project in the state , adding that the main objective of the railway project was to extract the resources from the state. Manipur has huge natural resources and is a virgin state. Currently, search for crude oil by companies at various places using bombs and many others explosives were on, he said. The main aim of hosting the public consultation was to create awareness to the people, highlighting the agenda of bringing the railway project in the state,

he added. Kiran alleged that the concerned implementing authority has violated the rights to free prior information. Social impact assessment and environmental impact assessment were done at their own wills by the authorities, he added. Highlighting the negligence of the government towards its people, Kiran

said that no proper rehabilitation or resettlement for the affected families have been provided till now. He warned that if appropriate steps were not taken up by the government, hosting bodies will be compelled to take up steps to stop the railway project and force the NF Railway along with coastal companies to leave the state.

However, the event happened to remind the controversy surrounding the locations of authorised camps of the NSCN(I-M) in the state. Even an armed group Kangleipak Communist Party – Military Council (KCP-MC) has accused the state government of being a mute spectator of location of authorised camps of NSCN(I-M) that is an open secret after the recent standoff. The outfit, in a statement, further questioned civil society organisations holding memorial observations on June 18 every year on why they chose to stay silent on the matter. “Have the leaders of these organisations turned the movement for protecting the territorial integrity of Manipur into an area for launching their political careers?” it questioned. The outfit also demanded that state government must disclose to the public regarding how many official camps of NSCN(I-M) are there in Manipur and also clarify on what grounds their cadres, who were kept surrounded by Assam Rifles at Ukhrul, were let to go freely.

‘BJP to lose unless it tampers EVMs’

Final Assam NRC being prepared at behest of RSS: Tarun Gogoi

The former chief minister of Assam, Tarun Gogoi, said that the final National Register of Citizens (NRC) is being prepared in Assam “at the behest of RSS”, Northeast Now News reports. Addressing media persons in Guwahati on Thursday, Gogoi fumed, “The final Assam NRC which will be out on July 30 next will not be a totally error-free one as the BJP government is trying its best to bring in the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill.” Gogoi further stated that the BJP government was not giving too much of stress on preparing a final NRC list “devoid of a single illegal migrant”. “Just because the NRC is being prepared at the behest of RSS, genuine Indian citizens are being harassed,” the former Assam CM further remarked. To buttress his statement, he further questioned, “How was 40 lakh people left out? Out of the 40 lakh who did not make it to final draft Assam NRC, a lot of genuine Indian citizens are also there.” Lambasting the BJP government, he said that the saffron party leaders make tall talks but their “actions speak otherwise – roads are in a dilapidated condition, prices of essential items are hitting the roof, unemployment is soaring, and everything is in a chaos”. He said with an air of confidence that the BJP stands no chance to win in this Lok Sabha polls “until and unless they tamper with the EVMs”. He prophesied that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s stars are not favouring him and once the election results are out on May 23 next, “bad days will befall BJP”. He affirmed, “The people of India will get a new government this time round and the Congress will play a pivotal role in it.” He promised that if the Congress government comes to power at the Centre, both Nagaon and Silchar paper mills will be reopened and Assam will get back its ‘special state category’ status. Gogoi finally said that he will no more utter the sentence – “‘Who is Badruddin?’ as the people of Assam did not give my party majority in the 2016 Assembly elections for saying so as a result of which I lost.”

up for no reason,” the Congress leader said. He wondered how Modi is claiming himself as the “most popular PM” of this country as his party had secured only 31 per cent votes in the 2014 Lok Sabha election. “Rajiv Gandhi had bagged 49 per cent vote and you say he was not popular! This is all about publicity and I accept that we are lagging behind in publicity. In politics, publicity is needed,” he added. On the National Register of Citizens (NRC), the former chief minister during whose tenure the exercise began, alleged that the BJP government is not interested in bringing out an error-free document for its own political benefits. “This final NRC will not be correct. It is going to be a wasteful exercise, because what the BJP wants is the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill.

Assam, which had faced influx of people from Bangladesh since the early 20th century, is the only state to have an NRC, first

if they do not possess any document. Gogoi said the BJP should have appealed to the Supreme Court to keep the NRC process on hold and implement the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill. “The Government of India is playing a double game. It says one thing, but does just the other,” he alleged.

Guwahati, May 9 (PTI/agencies): Veteran Congress leader Tarun Gogoi on Thursday claimed that the BJP has just one option to win this Lok Sabha election - that is tampering the EVMs, which the opposition parties are fearing. Claiming that the saffron party will lose in Uttar Pradesh and other states in north and south India, the former Assam chief minister said the next government at the Centre will be formed with the support of the Congress. “(Prime Minister) Narendra Modi’s days have come to an end. He is sure to go. They (the BJP) will lose unless they go for tampering of EVMs, that is what the opposition parties are suspecting,” Gogoi said at a press conference here. The BJP will lose badly in Uttar Pradesh along with other places in north and south India, while the Congress will improve its tally in many states, including Assam, he claimed. “Even (BJP national general secretary) Ram Madhav has also hinted that the BJP is losing,” Gogoi said. Gogoi was referring to Madhav’s recent interview in which he had said the BJP will need the support of its allies to form the government at the Centre. “We will get the highest number of seats among all the opposition parties. With our active support, a non-BJP government will be formed at the Centre,” he added. On Modi’s frequent reference to former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi during election campaigns in the past few days, Gogoi said it is being done unnecessarily. “The PM should have a level. What is the need to bring Rajiv Gandhi’s name here? He died 28 years ago and his name is being raked

Nagaland Post Vol. XXIX NO. 152 Dimapur, FRIDAY, MAY 10, 2019

Great expectations

n anticipation of a post-poll scenario where the NDA is expected to fall far short of the half-way mark and opening the opportunity for non-BJP/ NDA parties to explore government formation, the opposition has decided to strategise on meeting the president of India to stake claim after results are declared. Leaders of the opposition have decided to meet on May 21 and approach the President immediately with the request that the single largest party, which most opinion polls predicted would be the BJP, is not invited first in case of a hung house. The opposition believe that the BJP under Modi will not have the numbers and that the non-BJP conglomeration will have the numbers. However, the biggest question is whether the disparate groups can even stand together for a day?. This will be in the mind of the president of India when he weighs the facts before making a decision. The Constitution confers discretionary powers on the President of India in extending invite for the formation of the government in case of a fractured mandate. Twenty-one political parties, who together had also moved the Supreme Court over increasing verification of voter slips, are planning to also send a letter to the President that will say that once the result is out, they would present letters of support to form a government. If the BJP cannot get past 200 then it will have an uphill task in convincing other opposition leaders against whom Modi has said very harsh things as the ruling party had been over confident of another sweep. The main opposition parties such as Trinamool, Biju Janata Dal(BJD), YSRCP or Telengana Rashtra Samiti(TRS) or even TDP are more inclined in forging an all-party front minus both Congress and BJP. However, they may not finally hang on long enough, if ever they get the next invite from the President of India to form a government because they will start falling apart of the issue of who becomes the prime minister? As for the Congress, it should be extremely satisfied if it can cross the 100-mark to play a central role in backing a nonBJP government. For the BJP, sitting in the opposition will be a death blow and so it can be expected that the party will pull out all stops to ensure it gets back to power. The BJP is the richest ever political party in Indian history and its awesome resources can be used to lure many opposition leaders. The other is that if BJP wins hardly 200 seats, then Modi will certainly no longer be around to claim back the prime minister’s chair. If the BJP wants to retain power, in such a scenario, then other BJP leaders, such as Nitin Gadkari or Sushma Swaraj or even Rajnath Singh who are more acceptable to the other opposition parties, could be thrown up to form another NDA. Coalition dharma may also mean political instability when regional parties put the interests of their respective states over that of the entire nation. The two coalitions that have lasted their terms are the UPA and NDA while the Third Front or National Front of regional parties had cracked and fallen even before completing half their tenures. A school of thought that suggests a two-party system gains credence due to the dilemma of coalition dharma.

Reaching Beyond Our Grasp

Where there is no revelation [or prophetic vision], the people cast off restraint… —Proverbs 29:18 There is a difference between holding on to a principle and having a vision. A principle does not come from moral inspiration, but a vision does. People who are totally consumed with idealistic principles rarely do anything. A person’s own idea of God and His attributes may actually be used to justify and rationalize his deliberate neglect of his duty. Jonah tried to excuse his disobedience by saying to God, “…I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm” (Jonah 4:2). I too may have the right idea of God and His attributes, but that may be the very reason why I do not do my duty. But wherever there is vision, there is also a life of honesty and integrity, because the vision gives me the moral incentive. Our own idealistic principles may actually lull us into ruin. Examine yourself spiritually to see if you have vision, or only principles. Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, Or what’s a heaven for? “Where there is no revelation [or prophetic vision]….” Once we lose sight of God, we begin to be reckless. We cast off certain restraints from activities we know are wrong. We set prayer aside as well and cease having God’s vision in the little things of life. We simply begin to act on our own initiative. If we are eating only out of our own hand, and doing things solely on our own initiative without expecting God to come in, we are on a downward path. We have lost the vision. Is our attitude today an attitude that flows from our vision of God? Are we expecting God to do greater things than He has ever done before? Is there a freshness and a vitality in our spiritual outlook?

Post-mortem

Ao national workers Make the right choice while NSCN/GPRN react to Imna’s statement selecting your campus W

veryone have dream to study in good and reputed colleges or in good campuses. Institutes of repute are in demand as many students apply for admission but every one cannot make into those reputed institutes. Now, it’s time to take admission for higher studies as results are out. As government institutes are limited, so, students have to get admitted in different private colleges or similar institutes. Admission may be for senior secondary, graduation, post graduation or special professional courses, etc. All aspirants must be aware of certain things and they must look at the institutes carefully before taking admission. An institute means not about government institutes but I am appealing students to be aware when they choose private institutes or campuses. The following points must be remembered by all aspirants Look at the proper affiliation of the institute.  Look at the campus placement and records of the previous placements.  Try to connect to alumni of the institutes. This is not easy but can be done with the help of internet and other social media.  Search in the website properly about the institution. You can read about the review in different magazines

or websites.  Take proper counselling from career counsellor. A career counsellor is different and admission agent/representatives from a particular institute are different. Some colleges might advertise that they are offering free education to students belonging to Scheduled Tribe or Scheduled Caste. In this regard I would like to appeal to students and guardians to be vigilant. There are scholarships for the students of North Eastern region but that does not mean that everyone will get scholarships. We must check the proper documentation of the colleges whether they have proper papers in connection with scholarships or not. Apart from students and guardian, I would appeal civil society to be alert and aware so that no institute can cheat any students from north eastern region. Success does not mean only getting good marks in board exams. It depends upon your skill too to be successful. Students not getting good marks should not be upset but they should plan and move ahead in life. Proper planning with authentic information would take us nearer to success academically or from other perspectives. Students may try for some technical lines like taking admission in ITI after passing secondary or senior secondary ex-

amination. There are many skills training programme available around the state and one may choose and select the trade and get training accordingly. Our career is on our hand we can make it bright and vibrant or we can spoil it. Students must remember that no one else can change their life or make good careers. Others may suggest advice or provide information but it is up to the students how they take it in life and move ahead. Let us congratulate all those who have done well in board exams and we wish best wishes in life. At the same time we would like to appeal to those who could not do well or did not get good marks to make proper planning now and move ahead in life to be successful in life. Update:  HDFC Bank Educational Crisis Scholarship Support 2019: HDFC Bank Educational Crisis Scholarship Support 2019 invites applications from students who are unable to bear the cost of education and are at a risk of dropping out due to a personal or family crisis. The key objective of the scholarship is to provide assistance to these students, to tide over a difficult situation without adverse impact on their education. Aspirants may apply before 15th June.

e, the Ao national workers of NSCN/GPRN are abashed at the statement made by Minister and Nagaland BJP President, Mr. Imna Along that ‘Nagas are Indians and Nagas are proud to be a part of this great country’. For daring to make such outrageous and dishonorable statement, we have to exercise our duty to deplore such a despicable statement. This is disservice to the Naga people and a ‘sellout’ of Naga’s historical and political identity. Mr. Along, who is holding such a responsible position as a representative of his constituency in Mokokchung district and given such a high status in the Nagaland Cabinet, has made a mockery of the Naga’s political struggle which has travelled this far under the leadership of NSCN holding the ground firm to defend God given identity as a sovereign nation. The Government of India also have taken cognizance of the unique history and situation of the Nagas that eventually led to the signing of the historic August 3, 2015 Framework Agreement. This agreement recognized the sovereign right of the Naga people. Was Mr. Along not aware of the stand taken by all the political parties in Nagaland through their manifesto to stand for Naga political solution that is honorable and acceptable? What is he trying to show with his misleading statement? But for us - Ao national workers, Mr. Along’s statement is obnoxious as it brings shame to us in particular and to all the Nagas in general. Mr. Along cannot play damn with the Naga political history that has brought us this far. How can he forget the inhuman treatment the Nagas went through at the hands of the Indian

Army? Human groupings, killings, tortures, rapes and arson etc are all what the Nagas met at the hands of the Indian Army. We cannot tolerate such a person who wants to forget all this just because he wants to please his political master at the cost of Nagas who have given blood to defend their sovereign right. For the Nagas, the political struggle for the past 70 years has been a trail of blood, tears and sweat and our mighty God never forsake us. Thousands of Nagas have sacrificed their lives defending the Naga’s sovereign nation under the banner of Nagalim for Christ. The God given rainbow flag is our identity as a nation. It is a Covenant between God and Nagas. And we shall uphold it at all costs. Disparaging as it is, Mr. Along has undermined his own identity as a Naga just to please his political master in New Delhi. But, it will be nothing less than damnation for Mr. Along if he prefers to treat the lotus flag of BJP to be placed above the rainbow flag of the Nagas. He cannot feign ignorance of the ongoing Indo-Naga political negotiation to take such liberty to make a statement which is not in tune with the Naga aspiration. He should be aware that in this final stage of negotiation only a few issues like Naga flag and Constitution remains to be agreed upon. But, this is sensitive as it matters our identity. Therefore, any nonsensical statement made at this crucial stage is to be condemned out rightly. However, Mr. Along is given the privilege to clarify his stand to the satisfaction of the Nagas who value their national identity as Nagas. He must clarify under what context he made the statement. Bendang Aier (Kilonser) on behalf of Ao national workers

Has there been Peace in Nagaland? (From previous issue) (c) Do they believe in political negotiation? Let us learn from what AZ Phizo, the father of Naga Nation had planned to do for the Nagas. Quoting from his Interview by M J Akbar which was published by Sunday Magazine on 20th November, 1977 “But whether it is Mrs. Gandhi or anyone else, a settlement will have to be made and that is possible only when both parties sit down together and go into the matter deeply”. Unquote. From the book ‘Phizo and Media, the 2nd Edition by Zapuvisie Lhousa at page 18. Or do they believe that Naga sovereignty will rain down from heaven like Manna? How to bring peace into Nagaland? The peace I am talking about is the oxygen for progress and

prosperity. Till we get the real peace, the economic growth will remain slow. Rather its growth will remain redundant or will be retrogressing. To me, there are no alternative options available with the Nagas to have genuine peace either here in Nagaland or elsewhere. The only option is political solution to ongoing political negotiations. Reiterating that the adverse impacts on peace in Nagaland can be greatly mitigated only by reducing the number of governments. When, by any means, we reduce 10 governments to a single government, the tax burden on the common man will be definitely lifted which will consequently have positive ramifications on the living condition of the people. The orders and directives for most of the issues from

Storm in a teacup

multiple authorities will be drastically reduced to minimum confusion resulting to clarity. I strongly believe that by that solution there can be immense transformation from the position of uncertainties to a future of hope and reassurance. I am confident that the very solution can bridge the existing chasms of mistrust and egocentrics by which the Nagas can make the erstwhile Naga solidarity revisit. The genuine peace can therefore be born by solution alone. The NSCN(IM) entered into political negotiation with GOI 21 years ago with pre-conditions that the dialogue would be at the highest political level, that the dialogue would be in the third country and that the GOI would not engage any other NNPG for simultaneous dialogue till their

negotiation is finalised. I believed that NSCN(IM) had determination to bring its negotiation to a logical conclusion on time for the purpose of which its entered into the dialogue. However, I am to question why NSCN(IM) has adopted this strategy of indefinite process of negotiation? Whatever justifications the NSCN(IM) has, the 2 decades negotiation cannot be convincing no matter how intricate the issues may be. I am made to believe now that NSCN(IM) is apprehensive about solution out of its negotiation. In other words, I tend to observe that NSCN(IM) is not willing to have solution. Is NSCN(IM) satisfied with negotiation only? Does NSCN(IM) accept negotiation to be the logical conclusion? If not, what is not resolvable when the

Framework was signed in 2015 under the Constitution of India? The way the chief negotiator of NSCN(IM) manoeuvres the negotiation tilts more towards opening of Pandora’s box which is not pragmatic. Secondly, what I talk about those utopians are using negative parlance against solution. These utopians never identify themselves to be proNSCN(IM), and yet what justifications they uphold and the delaying strategy of NSCN(IM) are of the two sides of a coin. The Working Committee comprising 7 NNPGs are reported to have resolved all the contentious issues and are now ready for signing the solution under the Constitution of India. Thus, both the Naga negotiating groups have agreed to have solution within the ambit of Indian

Within one year, the roads everywhere in this branded…. “The most unliveable city…” during the decade preceding 2018 when the PDA took over including Bayavü are taking shape and looking like roads which are the most important step to change. There is clearly a spirit of healthy competition among makers which will benefit common people in the long run. With good roads now the danger of speeding vehicles is noticed which may need Police attention! There was a visible improvement of roads during the tenure of Neiphiu Rio as the PWD Minister… then came a period of decadence and roads began to look like rivers in the rain due to blocked drains.

Practice civic sense

People travelling in vehicles and constantly opening their door to spit out paan juice are really annoying as it sometimes lands on pedestrians or others on two wheelers. Most of these people travel in SUVs and one would expect them to carry their own spittoons instead of inflicting the vile juice on people. Civic sense is not only about throwing waste in the garbage bins or keeping one’s house clean and vehicle gleaming. The most important civic sense is to respect those pedestrians who should not be drenched because somebody spat out of their vehicle. Practice civic sense.

SC rejects plea on Rahul’s citizenship

New Delhi May 9 (Agencies):The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed a plea seeking direction to the Centre and the Election Commission to debar Congress President Rahul Gandhi from contesting Lok Sabha elections till the issue of his citizenship is decided, reports india today. A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi rejected the contention of the petitioners, who said in a form along with the annual data of a UK-based company in 2005-06, it was allegedly mentioned that Rahul Gandhi is a British citizen. “If some company in some form mentions his nationality as British, does he become a British citizen,” the bench also comprising Justices Deepak Gupta and Sanjiv Khanna

Rahul Gandhi (File)

told the petitioners. Rahul Gandhi’s citizenship triggered a massive row in the middle of the Lok Sabha elections. The home ministry had recently served a notice to Rahul Gandhi, asking him to clarify within a fortnight his “factual position” on a complaint questioning his

citizenship status. Petitioners Jai Bhagwan Goyal and C P Tyagi alleged that Rahul should not have been allowed to contest the ongoing Lok Sabha elections from Amethi in Uttar Pradesh and Wayanad in Kerala. The plea, filed by advocate Barun Kumar

Sinha, also sought a direction to the Election Commission to remove Rahul’s name from the “electoral roll till the decision of the question of acquisition of his British citizenship”. In a recent letter to Rahul, the ministry had said it has received a representation from Subramanian Swamy in which it has been brought out that a company named Backops Limited was registered in the UK in 2003 with Rahul Gandhi as one of its directors. The ministry had said Swamy’s letter mentioned that in the British company’s annual returns filed on October 10, 2005, and October 31, 2006, Rahul’s date of birth was given as June 19, 1970, and his nationality as British.

Cong seeks judicial probe into Kerala bogus voting Thiruvananthapuram, May 9 (IANS): With a preliminary probe revealing bogus voting in the postal ballots of police officials in Kerala, the Congress party on Thursday demanded a judicial inquiry into the matter while the state police chief ordered a full fledged investigation by the Crime Branch. Kerala’s Chief Electoral Officer Teeka Ram Meena, after going through the preliminary report filed by intelligence chief T. K. Vinodkumar, asked Kerala Police chief Loknath Behra to give directions for a detailed probe. “Prima facie what has come up

is that there are issues in the postal ballots and the role of the Police Association also has to be probed,” Meena told the media on Thursday. Meanwhile, Kerala Congress chief Mullapally Ramachandran alleged foul play with the knowledge of the top brass of the CPI-M and top police officials and said only a judicial probe would find out the truth and not one by the police. Kerala voted on April 23 to pick 20 Lok Sabha members. Following an audio clip of two police officials speaking on postal ballots surfacing in the media, Behra ordered a probe by the intelligence

wing into allegations of irregularities by CPM-backed office-bearers of the Kerala Police Association. A four-page report submitted to Behra points at foul play and has recommended action against two police officials besides calling for a comprehensive probe. The association consists of 58,000 police officials and is led by those said to be close to the CPI-M. About five police officials have been identified and once the FIR to this effect is registered by the Crime Branch, these five officials would be suspended from service, according to sources in the know of things.

SC must take steps to come out of crises: CPI-M

New Delhi, May 9 (IANS): The CPI-M on Thursday asked Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and the Supreme Court to “take the court out of the crises in which it is currently mired”. An editorial in the CPI-M organ “People’s Democracy” said the crises in the Supreme Court had been aggravated by the way in which Gogoi and the court had handled the accusation of sexual harassment levelled against the Chief Justice by a former court employee. It said that instead of ensuring complete transparency in the matter, the Chief Justice himself sat on judgment in the matter in a special bench along with two brother judges, thereby flouting every principle of natural justice.

vide the people of Punjab through desecration of the holy scriptures of various religions, the Chief Minister said they would have to pay for their sins, including the firing on people protesting against sacrilege cases. Paying his tributes to Shaheed Udham Singh, whose picture he was presented, Amarinder Singh said the freedom fighter’s

selfless sacrifice remains an inspiration for Indians even today. He recalled the incident of Udham Singh keeping a bottle of bloodsoaked Jallianwala Bagh soil next to his pillow, for years, out of sheer grief at the tragic killings of innocent Indians. Those people were of a different mettle, he said, exhorting people to ensure that the India of their dreams was not destroyed by communal forces. The nation was passing through difficult times and these Lok Sabha elections would decide its future by choosing between those engaged in communalising politics and those desirous of building a secular India, said the Chief Minister.

Lack of unity hurdle to solution: Rio backbone and foundation of all societies, Rio said nothing should be out of reach for any individual and the single factor of merit should be the determining reason for a person to succeed. He encouraged the students to have the right skills and attitude along with education to be able to find jobs – “be it in private sector, government sector or for self-employment”. Rio said, “Being the strongest pillar of the society, how you play your role will be the determinant of how the future spans out and, therefore, it is imperative to identify, understand and address the real issues and challenges we face today.” In his speech as a special guest, Manipur’s public health engineering minister L Dikho remarked that NSF is the most important platform for Naga people and can

Mentioning that their vision to bring the Nagas together, uphold oneness and unity by preserving and promoting Naga culture and tradition, fighting for the welfare of student community and their concern for social issues throughout is laudable, the chief minister acknowledged and appreciated all their sacrifices and contributions. According to him, NSF being the apex body of the student community, is one of the most respected civil society organizations and, apart from working for welfare of the students and youth, the federation has made significant contributions to the Naga society in multiple aspects and greatly contributed towards the unification of Naga people beyond manmade boundaries. Stating that the students and youth are the

And student unity is most important for helping to achieve a better future for the Nagas,” he emphasised. Earlier in the day, the chief minister also unveiled the 28th NSF Conference Monolith, which was dedicated by Rev Nyanchumo Lotha, executive secretary of Lotha Baptist Churches Association. Rio was accompanied by agriculture & co-operative minister G Kaito, medical minister Pangyu Phom, horticulture adviser Mhathung Yanthan, former NSF president and R&B minister Tongpang Ozukum, IT, S&T and NRE adviser Mmhonlumo Kikon and a host of other dignitaries.

“The uncertainty related to election outcome and US-China trade deal have been weighing on the rupee. Overseas investors have turned cautious for the domestic equity and debt market and started reducing their position ahead of the election outcome scheduled on 23rd May 2019,” said V K Sharma, Head PCG and Capital Markets Strategy, HDFC Securities. The dollar has hit fourmonth highs against the yuan and the Australian dollar on trade tensions, he added.

However, for last four sessions, it has been holding a level above USD 69 in futures. Breaking USD 69 in Brent crude would help domestic currency to recover recent losses against dollar,” Sharma added.

Mumbai, May 9 (PTI): Falling for the four th straight session, the rupee depreciated by 23 paise to 69.94 against the US dollar Thursday on unabated foreign fund outflows amid simmering US-China trade tensions. Firming oil prices and a prolonged spell of weakness in the equity markets also weighed on the domestic unit, dealers said. At the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened marginally lower at 69.70 and slipped further to breach the 70mark, touching a low of 70.03, before finally settling at 69.94, down by 23 paise over its previous close. The rupee has now lost a hefty 72 paise in four sessions. Globally, the Japanese yen rallied to three-month highs against the dollar as investors retreated to safe haven assets following the fresh flare-up in tensions between the US and China. Ahead of the next round of talks aimed at ending the trade conflict between the world’s two largest economies, China said it will retaliate if US raises tariffs on Chinese products.

China broke the deal in trade talks: Trump

Washington, May 9 (IANS): US President Donald Trump has said that China “broke the deal” in trade talks, ramping up hostilities ahead of negotiations between the two sides to end a tit-for-tat trade war. On Twitter, Trump on Wednesday accused Beijing of attempting to run out the clock on his administration in the assumption it will be dealing with a Democratic administration after 2020, CNN reported. Speaking at a rally in Florida later Wednesday, Trump said the new tariffs were because China “broke the deal”. “You see the tariffs we’re doing?” the President asked his supporters. “Because they broke the deal.” “The (Chinese) Vice Premier is flying in tomorrow (Thursday), good man, but they broke the deal. They can’t do that,” he added. “If we don’t make the deal, nothing wrong with taking in over 100 billion a year. We never did

that before.” His remarks came afterthe Chinese government also on Wednesday threatened to retaliate, as its top trade negotiator, He was heading to Washington for what was supposed to be among the last rounds of discussions with US tradenegotiator Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. In a tweet on Sunday, Trump promised to raise tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods, sending markets plummeting. The tariffs are to come into force on Friday. Trump has also said the US

could hit another $325 billion of Chinese goods with a 25 per cent tariff “shortly”. Despite that, the two sides are due to hold trade talks in the US on Thursday. Tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods were supposed to rise to 25 per cent from 10 per cent at the start of the year but that was postponed as negotiations advanced. The two sides have already imposed tariffs on billions of dollars worth of one another’s goods, creating uncertainty for businesses and weighing on the global economy, said the BBC.

14 dead in Taliban attack on aid group in Kabul Kabul, May 9 (IANS): The death toll of a Taliban attack targeting an international aid group in the Afghan capital jumped to 14 on Thursday, with the militant group warning it would conduct more such strikes to avenge the civilian casualties of counterinsurgency military operations by Afghan and foreign forces. A group of Taliban attackers on Wednesday triggered a car bomb and then stormed the compound of the building housing the office of the charity, Counterpart International, in the Shahr-e-Naw area of Kabul. Afghan forces engaged the assailants in a nearly six-hour-long battle before all the attackers were gunned down. The government had initially said 10 people, including the five bombers, were killed in the clash. However, the Interior Ministry on Thursday said a total of 14 people had died in the gun battle, Efe news reported.

from fake news that harms public interest. At around 10.20 p.m., the Bill was passed with 72 MPs saying “yes”, nine WP MPs saying “no”, and three Nominated MPs abstaining. The legislation will allow the government to decide what information is listed as false based on two criteria: when a false statement or announcement is issued, and when this action is considered to be of public interest. The law, which according to the authorities will not apply to opinion, criticism, satire or parody, provides for a maximum penalty of 10 years’ imprisonment and fines of up to $733,000. Pritam Singh, leader of the Workers’ Party -- Singapore’s lone opposition party in parliament -- who had

strenuously objected to the new law for giving ministers too much power, had called for a division in which each MP’s vote is recorded. The bill was also criticised by the Amnesty International’s East and South East Asia Regional Director Nicholas Bequelin, saying that it will give the authorities more power to repress their critics, reports Efe news. Asia Internet Coalition said it was “deeply disappointed” by the lack of public consultation during the drafting process. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong last week defended the measures by describing them as necessary to protect Singapore with the aim of avoiding “hostile” interference intended to “cause disorder in our society”.

‘Maduro govt too afraid to arrest me’ C a r a c a s, M ay 9 (IANS): Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido has said that he remains a free man because the government of incumbent President Nicolas Maduro is “too afraid” of the consequences of arresting him. “Because they’re scared. Those that try to spread or generate a perception of control are the ones that don’t have it,” Guaido told CNN in an interview on Wednesday. The Maduro government has accused Guaido, the opposition controlled National Assembly president, and several other opposition leaders of planning a failed coup on April 30. Guaido has been recognised by more than 50 countries, including the US, as Venezuela’s interim president after he self-proclaimed it on January 23. In the interview, Guaido was at times vague and evasive when trying to explain why his political uprising failed. “We have offered amnesty, perhaps not enough. We have to insist. Now there is a fundamental ele-

Juan Guaido

ment -- the armed forces -they will have an important role not only in the transition but the reconstruction of Venezuela,” he said. Asked if US military intervention was still an option, Guaido indicated it would be one of the final options and clarified that military action did not have to come from Washington. Guaido told CNN that he has remained in close touch with the US President Donald Trump’s administration and was in contact with American officials earlier this week. He however, would not elaborate on his next

moves or offer a time line on what happens next for him and his supporters. Guaido’s comments came just hours before one of his closest allies and Vice President of the National Assembly, Edgar Zambrano was arrested by security forces with Venezuela’s intelligence agency, SEBIN. Guaido tweeted later on Wednesday night that the Maduro government had “kidnapped” Zambrano. “They are trying to break up the body that represents all Venezuelans, but they will not achieve it,” he said in his tweet.

The attack, which occurred during the Muslim holy month of Ramazan, was carried out by a teenage Taliban suicide bomber who blew himself up outside the densely-populated 11th century shrine on Wednesday. So far, 11 people, including six police commandos, have lost their lives, Geo News reported, adding that as many as 26 others have been injured. The powerful blast took place outside the Data Darbar shrine, the largest

Sufi shrine in South Asia, where the elite police personnel were deployed for security. A CCTV footage showed that a teenage boy

wearing black ‘shalwar kameez’ and a suicide vest came closer to the vehicle of elite force and blew himself up. “The suicide bomber is

about 15 years old and made no suspected movement before blowing himself up,” Lahore police spokesperson Syed Mubashir told PTI on Wednesday.

He said that two suspects have been taken into custody. The Jamaat-ul-Ahrar (JeA), a breakaway faction of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), claimed responsibility for the attack. Punjab Inspector General Police Arif Nawaz told reporters that it was a suicide attack and the target was the vehicle of the elite force that was stationed outside the shrine of Sufi saint Ali Hajvari popularly known as Data Darbar. The blast shattered the windows in nearby vehicles and buildings. Wednesday was the second day of Muslim holy month of Ramazan. The Data Darbar area is thickly populated and the shrine attracts thousands of visitors every day.

Singapore, May 9 (IANS): Singapore parliament has passed a comprehensive piece of legislation to combat fake news, after a marathon two-day debate, amid criticism from opponents and activists who consider it an attack on freedom of expression, the media reported on Thursday. The legislation titled, “Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Bill”, is not a political tool for the ruling party to wield power, said Home Affairs and Law Minister K. Shanmugam after it was passed late Wednesday night, but is about shaping the kind of society that Singapore should be, The Straits Times reported. “(Debates) should be based on a foundation of truth, foundation of honour, and foundation where we keep out the lies, that’s what this is about. “It’s not about the Workers’ Party or the PAP (People’s Action Party) or today, it’s about Singapore,” Shanmugam said responding to the 31 MPs who spoke during the debate on the draft law aimed at protecting society

“In addition to the five attackers, the death toll from the attack on Counterpart International increased to nine,” Ministry spokesperson Nasrat Rahimi said. The dead included five security personnel, a security guard employed by Counterpart and three civilians who worked with Care International, another humanitarian aid group that has its office near the building that was attacked. “The offices are too close to each other. It was initially unclear whether the target was Care or Counterpart,” the spokesperson said. The police said the militants had chosen a soft target to attack Counterpart office located in a relatively high security zone in the centre of Kabul. The US government-funded nonprofit has been operating in Afghanistan since 2005 and is headquartered in the US city of Arlington, Virginia. The Taliban in a statement on their official webpage warned that there would be more strikes in future.

BORLENGRI AO TRIBAL COUNCIL

KOHIMA : NAGALAND REJOINDER TO CHANGE OF NOMENCLATURE

Karbi Anglong, Assam

The Mezomia Mechü Kehou (MMK) is surprised to note the news item "Change of Nomenclature" published in Nagaland Post dated the 2nd May 2019 at Page no -15, wherein Sirhi Angami village being changed to Medziphema A village; and wonder as to how a village name can be abruptly changed and a monolith erected to that effect without the approval of the landowner (Mezoma) and the concerned area (Western Angami Public Organization). MMK informs all concerned and the Administration that Sirhi Angami village was established with the permission from Mezoma village elders in 1965. The name “Sirhi” was derived after a particular episode experienced by the then villagers. So, the said illicit change of nomenclature is an outright breach of the village history and peaceful coexistence. Hence, MMK condemned the act and expressed its objection to the stand of the monolith. (VINGULIE KUOTSU) (KEZHASELIE K. KUOTSU) President Gen. Secy Ph.No 8787897812 K-1227

Modi warns first time voters against ‘khichdi’ government

BJP is ‘Bahut Jhoot Party’: Singhvi

Azamgarh (Uttar P r a d e s h ) , May 9 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday addressed first time voters and said they must beware of ‘khichdi’ (read coalition) governments that bring anarchy and instability. The Prime Minister was addressing an election rally in Azamgarh that has over 40,000 first time voters. He said: “Twenty years ago, the United Front government brought instability and mid-term elections. The UPA governments made India hang its head in shame with a slew of scams. Such governments cannot face challenges.” The Prime Minister said that parties like the SP-BSP and Congress had promoted vote bank politics which had put the nation in trouble. “In the past five years, Azamgarh has not been blamed for any terror link. We have checked terror activities that have now been restricted to Kashmir and a few border areas. The ‘mahamilavati’ governments allowed Pakistan to dominate over us but the BJP government succeeded in getting global support against terrorist Masood Azhar,” he pointed out.

Karnataka gives Rs 10 cr aid to cyclone-hit Odisha Bengaluru, May 9 (IANS): The Karnataka government has contributed Rs 10 crore to the cyclone-hit Odisha for relief assistance to the affected people, an official statement said on Thursday. “The amount (Rs 10 crore) is being credited to the bank account of the Odisha Chief Minister’s Relief Fund in Bhubaneshwar,” said the statement from the Chief Minister’s Office in Bengaluru. Fo r t y - o n e p e o p l e h ave b e e n c o n f i r m e d killed due to cyclone Fani in Odisha. It made landfall in the state on May 3 as a Category 4 storm, leaving behind a trail of devastation in the coastal areas. Karnataka Chief Minister Hardanahalli Deve Gowda Kumaraswamy condoled the deaths and wished the speedy restoration of normal life.

Narendra Modi (File)

The Prime Minister said that his government had kept national interests above self interests. “Yeh naya Hindustan hai- yeh ghar mein ghus kar marega,” he said. The Prime Minister said that his government had not differentiated between castes while drawing up various welfare schemes and electricity was not given on caste basis in his regime. Referring to the Azamgarh BJP candidate Dinesh Lal Yadav Nirahua, the Prime Minister said that Bhojpuri cinema had attained global recognition due to artists like Nirahua, Ravi Kishan and Manoj Tiwari. The Prime Minister concluded his speech with ‘Abki baar’ and the people responded with ‘Modi sarkar’.

NEW DELHI, MAY 9 (IANS): Attacking the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi on Thursday dubbed BJP as the “Bahut Jhoot Party”. He accused Modi of speaking so many lies that “the BJP and the Prime Minister can find a mention in the Guinness World Records for lies and propaganda”. “Lies, propaganda and canards can never succeed beyond a very short shelflife. Truth has to triumph. Howsoever much the ‘Bahut Jhoot Party’ tries to spread disinformation, the people of India know the truth,” the senior Congress leader said. The statements came at a press conference after Modi accused former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi of using an Indian naval ship for a holiday. Singhvi said the BJP had realised that they have lost the elections and their internal survey had also hinted they were losing. “Modi and BJP are trying to hide their failures. It is an abject acceptance and surrender to defeat, knowing the internal reports and the booth reports of the five phases,” he said.

her husband, took them to an isolated place and gangraped her in front of her husband. The accused also recorded the crime and uploaded the video on social media, which went viral. The crime sparked off controversy after the victim’s husband on Wednesday accused police of delaying action, allegedly in wake of the second round of Lok Sabha elections in the state on May 6. Soon after his allegations came out, there were protests with people from all sections demanding justice for the couple and accusing the state government of intentionally delaying action in the case for political gain. Bharatiya Janata Party had staged a march to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s residence on We d n e s d ay b u t we r e stopped on the way by police. On Thursday, the

nerjee on Tuesday. “I heard that Mamata didi wants to slap Modi; I respect you, call you didi (elder sister). Your slap will be like blessing to me,” Modi said with a hint of sarcasm. Furious at being repeatedly termed as a party of ‘tolabaj’ (extortionists) by the prime minister, the TMC supremo had said, “Narendra Modi should get a tight slap of democracy.” Baner jee Thursday insisted she never said she will slap Modi. “He is saying that I have said I will slap him. Arre, I spoke about the slap of democracy. Try to understand the language. “Why should I slap you? I am not that kind of a person. What I understand is democracy. Slap of democracy means the mandate people will give by casting their votes,” the Trinamool Congress supremo said. Responding to Modi’s coal mafia jibe at TMC leaders, Banerjee said the coal ministry that controls the mines functions under the central government and the mines are guarded by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). “People belonging to the BJP are involved in the illegal business of coal,”

she shot back. Banerjee claimed she is in possession of a pen drive, and that if she makes it public, “many secrets about cattle smuggling and coal mafia will tumble out of the closet”. She claimed the pen drive contains information about a central minister and a BJP MP “dealing in cattle smuggling”. The West Bengal chief minister said the allegations about involvement of TMC leaders in chit fund scams have not been proved. She also warned Modi against speaking about her family. “Don’t talk about my family, I am alone and the peopleare my family,” she said. Speaking in Bankura, Modi had said, “She (Banerjee) is not interested in the betterment of the state, but in that of her family, nephew and tolabaj (extortionists) of her party.” Banerjee’s nephew Abhishek is a sitting Lok Sabha MP and TMC candidate for the Diamond Harbour seat. Baner jee, without naming the prime minister or BJP president Amit Shah, said the country is being run by-- Duryodhan and Dushshasan--the ignoble characters of epic ‘Mahabharata’.

Atishi breaks down over pamphlet; Gambhir denies charge New Delhi, May 9 (IANS): AAP East Delhi candidate Atishi on Thursday broke down at a press conference where she and her party accused her BJP rival Gautam Gambhir of circulating derogatory pamphlets about her. The former cricketer denied the charge. “I feel very sad as I speak to the media. I feel sad that politics has stooped so low in the country,” the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) spokesperson said. “When Gambhir joined politics, I told him that good people are important for politics. But he and his party have shown how low they can go,” she said, referring to pamphlets circulated with newspapers across the constituency. “I am not in politics for money or fame,” said Atishi, who has played a key role in reshaping the school education system in the capital. Atishi became emotional and broke down. “If Gambhir can stoop so low to defeat a strong woman like me, how can he ensure security for women as an MP?” she asked. Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who was present at the presser, added: “Gambhir circu-

Alwar gangrape: prime accused arrested; BJP protests

Jaipur, May 9 (IANS): The prime accused in the Alwar gangrape case was picked up from Uttar Pradesh’s Mathura on Thursday, taking the number of those arrested to five even as Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) held protests accusing the government of “deliberately suppressing” the case in view of the Lok Sabha elections. Prime accused Hansraj has been arrested from Mathura on Thursday morning, while another Mahesh was arrested from Shahpura on late Wednesday night, police said. Ashok Gujjar, Inderaj Gujjar and Mukesh were arrested earlier and police now say that only one more accused, Chhotelal, is absconding and a hunt is on to trace him. According to the FIR filed by the victim, the incident took place on April 26 when the accused allegedly waylaid her and

Bankura/Purulia (WB) May 9 (PTI): TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee’s “slap” remark against Narendra Modi resonated in battleground West Bengal Thursday, while she shot another barb at the prime minister, saying he will have to do a “100 squats holding his ears” if he failed to prove that her candidates were coal mafia. The West Bengal chief minister bristled with anger at Modi’s allegation at an election rally where he said TMC leaders were involved in illegal coal mining. She said she will withdraw party nominees from all the 42 Lok Sabha seats if even one was found involved in such activity. “And if you (Modi) have lied, you will have to do 100 squats holding your ears,” she told a rally in Bankura, a couple of hours after the prime minister addressed an election meeting in the same Lok Sabha constituency. She was responding to Modi’s allegation that TMC leaders are making money from illegal open cast coal mines, while labourers are not getting their wages. At his rally, the prime minister raked up the “tight slap” remark made by Ba-

lated derogatory pamphlets about Atishi. The language in this pamphlet is so abusive that anybody who reads it will feel ashamed.” He said when Gambhir played cricket for India, the nation clapped for him. “But we never in our worst dream thought that this man would stoop this low to win an election.” Gambhir denied the charge, saying he will withdraw his nomination if Atishi’s accusations were proven true. In a series of tweets, he said: “My Challenge number 2 (Delhi Chief Minister) Arvind Kejriwal and Atishi. I declare that if its proven that I did it, I will withdraw my candidature right now. If not, will you quit politics?” Sisodia said: “The people will give an answer

to this on May 12 (polling day).” Kejriwal tweeted: “How can women expect safety if people with such mentality are voted in? Atishi, stay strong. I can imagine how difficult it must be for u. It is precisely this kind of forces we have to fight against.” Gambhir, 37, is contesting in East Delhi against AAP’s Atishi, also 37, who holds a Masters in Science from Oxford University. The Congress candidate is Arvinder Singh Lovely. Atishi, who joined AAP when it was founded in 2012, is a member of its Political Affairs Committee and National Executive.

Thursday launched a scathing attack on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for accusing him of distributing pamphlet containing “obscene and derogatory” remarks against East Delhi AAP candidate Atishi, News Nation reports. In a series of tweets, Gambhir said: “I abhor your act of outraging a woman’s modesty @ ArvindKejriwal and that too your own colleague. And all this for winning elections? U r filth Mr CM and someone needs ur very own झाड़ू to clean ur dirty mind.” “My Challenge no.2 @ A r v i n d Ke j r i w a l @ AtishiAAP I declare that if its proven that I did it, I will withdraw my candidature right now. If not, will u quit politics?” he asked, adding that he felt “ashamed to have a CM like @ArvindKejriwal.” Gambhir’s strong reaction came after Kejriwal took to Twitter to attack the former Atishi’s allegation, saying that he “never

imagined Gautam gambhir to stoop so low”. “ N eve r i m a g i n e d Gautam Gambhir to stoop so low. How can women expect safety if people wid such mentality are voted in? Atishi, stay strong. I can imagine how difficult it must be for u. It is precisely this kind of forces we have to fight against,” he tweeted. Earlier in the day, Atishi broke down while reading a pamphlet containing “obscene and derogatory” remarks against her that she claimed has been distributed in the constituency by her BJP rival Gautam Gambhir. Atishi, who was accompanied by Deputy Delhi Chief Minister Manish Sisodia during a press conference, broke down as she read out the pamplet in front of reporters. She said she had welcomed Gambhir, a former cricketer, when he entered politics but now the BJP has stooped to an unexpected level.

The bench was told earlier by Hindu bodies, except for Nirmohi Akhara, and Uttar Pradesh government that they oppose the court's suggestion for mediation. The Muslim bodies supported the proposal. While opposing the suggestion of mediation, Hindu bodies had argued that earlier attempts of reaching a compromise have failed and provisions of Civil Procedure Code (CPC) require public notice to be issued before the start of process. The top court had directed that the mediation proceedings should be conducted with "utmost confidentiality" for ensuring its success and the views expressed by any of the par-

Bina (MP), May 9 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi is unable to speak on his government’s performance and hence keeps talking about what happened in the past, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi said Thursday. Addressing a poll rally here, Gandhi also said that time had come for bidding good bye to ruling the BJP. The Congress chief did not refer to any specific remark made by the prime minister, but his comments come in the wake of Modi’s constant criticism of the Gandhis during the ongoing Lok Sabha poll campaign. “He (Modi) cannot talk about (the promises made about) employment, farmers, Rs 15 lakh (to be deposited in bank account of each Indian) and achche din (good days). He can only talk about the past,” Gandhi said. “Modi ji, India chose you as prime minister five years ago. India does not want to understand from you what others did. India wants to understand what you did and will do,” Gandhi said. He reiterated that Modi ensured industrialist Anil Ambani got contract worth Rs 30,000 crore in the Rafale jet purchase deal and termed the same as a scam.

Spiritual gur u and founder of Art of Living foundation Sri Sri Ravishankar and senior advocate Sriram Panchu, a renowned mediator, are the other two members of the panel of mediators. The panel was asked by the apex court to hold an in-camera proceedings and complete it within eight weeks. The Constitution bench had said that it does not find any "legal impediment" to make a reference to mediation for a possible settlement of the dispute.

ties including the mediators should be kept confidential and not be revealed to any other person. However, it had refrained from passing any specific restrain order at this stage and instead empowered the mediators to pass necessary orders in writing, if so required, to restrain publication of the details of the mediation proceedings. The top court had fixed the seat for mediation process in Faizabad of Uttar Pradesh, around 7 km from Ayodhya, and said that the adequate arrangements including the venue of the mediation, place of stay of the mediators, their security, travel should be forthwith arranged by the state government so that proceedings could commence immediately. It had also directed that the mediation proceedings be held in-camera as per the norms applicable to conduct the mediation proceedings. Fourteen appeals have been filed in the apex court against the 2010 Allahabad High Court judgment, delivered in four civil suits, that the 2.77-acre land in Ayodhya be partitioned equally among the three parties -- the Sunni Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lalla.

(iii) because the C&AG has given its final report after considering all records and not found any wrongdoing with this contract. These contentions are untenable,” it said. The petitioners said they have brought materials which showed that the procurement “suffered from various problems”. “Even now the government is not disclosing that contrary to what was submitted in the sealed covers, the Cabinet Committee on Security met once again in the month of September 2016 to inter alia drop standard clauses which are meant to ensure probity, transparency and check corruption,” the affidavit said. “The clauses pertain to

the use of undue influence, agents/agency commission and access to books of accounts of the individual suppliers. No basis has been given as to why these basic measures of prudence were dropped,” it said. The petitioners further said that, “continued suppression of relevant and material information by the government is the reason for the petitioners to seek production of relevant and material documents before the court which cannot be considered as seeking a ‘fishing and roving inquiry’.” They said their prayer for direction to the CBI to take action on their complaint in Rafale deal was made on October 4 last year and it was required to be assessed in terms of law laid down by a Constitution bench judgement of the apex court. The affidavit said the Constitution bench verdict states that if a complaint prima facie discloses commission of cognisable offence, an FIR has to be mandatorily lodged and investigated. “The petitioners’ prayers were not considered and the petition was dismissed as if the petitioners were seeking a cancellation of the contract or review of the contract,” the affidavit said.

New Delhi, May 9 (IANS): A boxer has to both receive and return punches to the person opposite him inside the ring, and ace pugilist Vijender Singh is facing similar challenges in his debut bout in the political arena. Contesting the Lok Sabha elections from the South Delhi parliamentary constituency on a Congress ticket, the Olympic medal winning boxer shared his experiences of campaigning for the five-yearly grand political confrontation. Enjoying his stint in the heat and dust of electoral politics so far, Singh expressed his confidence of knocking out his political rivals from the BJP and the AAP. “After entering politics, I am ready to receive the punches of my political opponents, and to give them back too,” said Singh, who is tied in a triangular contest against BJP’s sitting MP Ramesh Bidhuri and AAP’s Raghav Chadha. All the seven Lok Sabha constituencies in the national capital go to the polls in the sixth phase of polling on May 12. Asked if he would land his famous knockout punch on May 23 -- the day the results of the Lok Sabha elections will be out -- the boxer from Bhiwani said, “Wait and see what happens. And wish for me.”

How much gold do Kerala temples have?

Thiruvananthapuram, May 9 (IANS): In 2011, former IPS officer-turned-lawyer T.P. Soundarajan filed a plea in the Supreme Court seeking to know the stock of gold in the famed Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple here. Since then, speculation has pegged the value of the gold stored in the temple at over Rs 1 lakh crore. Sree Padmanabhaswamy is the tutelary deity of the royal family of Travancore but its scion Prince Aditya Varma has always declined to comment on the estimated value of the gold stored in the temple. Varma, however, said that as the legend goes, a portion of the temple’s treasures was meant to be used by the erstwhile kingdom at times of famine or other such natural tragedies. He said that elders in the family had told him that close to 1,000 kg of gold was still kept in temple in the form of paddy grains. “This was kept by our forefathers for use in times of need,” said Varma. In 2011, the apex court had formed a committee to assess the value of the treasures kept in the temple. But due to legal hurdles, a detailed assessment report of the treasures stacked in several vaults is yet to be released. Another temple in Kerala known for its large

devotee base is the Guruvayoor Sri Krishna Temple near Thrissur. Veteran Congress leader and former Lok Sabha member Peethambara Kurup, who’s the ex-President of the Guruvayoor Devasom Board which oversees the functioning of the temple, told IANS that when he was the head of the board till two years back, the total gold kept in the temple reserves was in excess of 3,000 kg. “This came from the devotees who contribute to the temple both in cash and kind. According to the rules of the temple, a good portion of the gold is kept in safe custody in Mumbai. The remaining gold stock is kept in banks in and around Thrissur,” said Kurup. He added that as per rough estimates, every year the temple receives 15 to 20 kg of gold by way of donation. “In normal circumstances, this gold is left untouched out of respect and fear of the deity. However,

according to the rules, if the temple administration wishes to pledge some of the gold, it can be done only with the concurrence of the Kerala government. According to my knowledge, such a thing has not happened so far and is unlikely to happen in the future,” said Kurup. Prayar Gopalakrishnan, a former Congress legislator and ex-President of the Travancore Devasom Board under which comes the famed Sabarimala Temple, said that 1,500 temples fell under the jurisdiction of the board. “Of this, only 25 have gold in their custody, out of which just six, including the Sabarimala Temple, have a substantial quantity of the yellow metal. I stepped down as the President about two years back and to my surprise even though a ledger is maintained about the quantity of gold kept in each of these six temples, it has not been physically verified,” he said.

Bengal marks Tagore’s 158th birth anniversary BJP in Bengal demands Ko l k ata , M ay 9 (IANS): People in West Bengal on Thursday paid homage to Asia’s first Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore on his 158th birth anniversary, with his songs, poems and plays reverberating across the state.

It has been an age-old custom to celebrate Tagore’s birthday as per the Bengali calendar. Tagore, who holds the unique distinction of having composed the national

N Korea fires two short-range missiles

SEOUL, May 9 (Agencies): North Korea fired what appeared to be two short-range missiles on Thursday, the South’s military said, less than a week after its leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the test-firing of multiple rockets and a missile. The launches came as U.S. special envoy for North Korea Stephen Biegun was in the South Korean capital for talks with Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha and his counterpart, nuclear envoy Lee Do-hoon. South Korea’s presidential Blue House called the missile launches “very worrisome” and unhelpful for efforts to reduce tensions on the peninsula and improve inter-Korean relations amid protracted talks on denuclearisation. The two missiles were fired from the northwest area of Kusong, in an easterly direction, the South’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. They covered distances of 420 km (260 miles) and 270 km (168 miles) and reached an altitude of about 50 km (31 miles) before falling into the sea, they said. Analysts said it was too soon to say exactly what kind of missiles they were. “You don’t know what missile it is just from how far it flew,” said Yang Uk, a senior research fellow at the Korea Defence and Security

Forum. Such a range would probably exceed that of most of the rockets North Korea fired on Saturday from its east coast into the ocean, sharply raising tension at a time of stalemate in its talks with the United States. “North Korea has returned to its classic escalation tactics from before,” Yang added. “I believe they will keep escalating by using what appear to be shortrange missiles, something that will not cause the U.S. to react right away.” A f t e r T h u r s d a y ’s launch, South Korea’s military said it had stepped up monitoring and security in case of another launch, and was working with the United States to get additional information on the

missiles involved. A spokeswoman for the Blue House said President Moon Jae-in’s national security adviser, Chung Euiyong, was closely monitoring the situation through a video conference with the military. Japan’s defence ministry said it had not detected any ballistic missile in its territorial waters or exclusive economic zone and saw no direct impact on security. North Korea has test-fired rockets over Japanese territory in the past. Kusong is about 40 km (25 miles) north of the site of a medium-range Rodong missile base on North Korea’s west coast, said the Center for Strategic International Studies,

a Washington-based think tank. On Saturday, North Korea also launched at least one short-range ballistic missile, which analysts said could travel up to 500 km (311 miles). The launch, from an east coast area, was the North’s first test of a ballistic missile since launching an intercontinental ballistic missile in November 2017. This week, North Korea lashed out at the United States and South Korea, saying Saturday’s tests were “regular and self-defensive” and rejecting the notion that they were provocative. South Korea had responded to those tests by calling for an end to acts that escalate military tension.

Pope makes it mandatory for clergy to report sex abuse Rome, May 9 (IANS): Pope Francis on Thursday issued new global rules for reporting sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, making it mandatory for the first time for all dioceses to set up systems for reporting abuse and cover-ups. In an Apostolic letter, which is set to become Church law, he made clear that any sexual advance involving the use of power will now be considered abusive, CNN reported. The new rules require all Catholic dioceses around the world to have a “public and accessible” system in place for reporting abuse by June 1, 2020. “The crimes of sexual abuse offend Our Lord, cause physical, psychological and spiritual damage to

to offices within Church dioceses. The decree also defined the covering-up of abuse as a specific category. For decades the Catholic Church has been plagued by a series of sex abuse scandals in different countries around the world. The new rules come after a global meeting on sexual abuse at the Vatican in February and represent the Pope’s pledge to offer “concrete measures” to combat sexual abuse. There has not previously been a uniform, universal system in the Catholic Church for reporting and investigating allegations of abuse.

M os c o w, M a y 9 (Agencies): Russian President Vladimir Putin told the annual military Victory Day parade in Red Square on Thursday that the country will continue to strengthen its armed forces. The parade marked the 74th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany. It included about 13,000 servicemen and 130 pieces of military equipment, ranging from a T-34 tank -- renowned for its effectiveness in World War II -- to lumbering Yars ICBM launch units. Putin said in his speech that “we have done and will do everything necessary to ensure the high combat capability of our armed forces.” He added: “At the same time, Russia is open for cooperation with all who are ready to resist terrorism, neo-Nazism and extremism.” Dozens of other cities also held parades for Russia’s most significant secular holiday. In Ukraine, which also observes the holiday, outgoing President Petro Poroshenko struck out at Russia. “For five years, the descendants of the glorious victors over Nazism have defended with arms the freedom of the Ukrainian people and their civilization choice from Russian aggression,” Poroshenko said in a statement.

Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) personnel served a search warrant on Wednesday in an investigation of someone suspected of manufacturing and selling illegal firearms, LAPD Officer Jeff Lee said. In aerial footage from the scene, hundreds of guns are seen scattered out in the driveway of the house in Holmby Hills, CNN reported.

The weapons range from handguns to rifles. Bureau spokeswoman Ginger Colbrun said in a written statement that authorities were anonymously tipped off that someone was “conducting illegal firearms transaction outside the scope of the federal firearm

license that the individual possess”. Along with the weapons, firearm manufacturing equipment and tools were also found at the home. Officers from both agencies remained on the scene and continued the investigation.

UK’s answer to Tutankhamun’s tomb T

Rape-accused Karan Oberoi gets 14 days judicial custody

royal burial site found beneath a roadside verge in Essex has been dubbed one of the most significant archaeological finds ever made in England. Discovered between a pub and an Aldi supermarket, it is thought to be the burial chamber of the brother of Anglo-Saxon King Saebert. Researchers behind the find have hailed it as the 'British equivalent of Tutankhamun's tomb' - despite little similarities in appearance. Belying its unglamorous location,

inside the chamber are 40 artefacts thought to have belonged to the ancient Essex prince Saexa. The Anglo-Saxons were Pagans, but the Christian items found in the chamber suggest the religion was still important in England 1,400 years ago. It is the earliest Christian Anglo-Saxon princely burial found in the UK, according to experts from the Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA). Royal families emerged in Anglo-Saxon times in Kent, Essex and

across south-east England. Saebert and Seaxa's mother was from the Kentish royal family, but their maternal aunt, Bertha, was a French princess who married into their royal family and brought her Christian beliefs with her. That may explain the gold crosses on the prince's eyes and the coins in the chamber, which are clearly Christian, while the very idea of a burial chamber is Pagan. The researchers say the site represents a 'transitional moment' in this country's history before Christianity took over. Experts are fascinated by this time in English history as Anglo-Saxon kingdoms were emerging, with separate royal families in different parts of the country. The name Essex comes from the East Saxon families which ruled over this part of England. Just like Tutankhamun's famous tomb in Egypt, it is completely intact, with looters and 19th Century amateur archaeologists having been unable to find it as the mound on top of it collapsed.

elevision actor and singer Karan Oberoi, arrested on charges of raping and blackmailing a woman, has been sent to 14 days judicial custody by a Magistrate Court here. He was nabbed on May 6 after the victim, an astrologer, registered a complaint with the police on Sunday accusing him of rape and blackmail on the pretext of marriage. Karan was remanded to police custody till Wednesday and was produced before the court on Thursday afternoon. His lawyer Dinesh Tiwari told IANS that he would apply for bail for Karan on Friday at a Sessions Court. According to the First Information Report lodged by the victim, the accused raped her on the promise of marriage, filmed the act and tried to extort money from her under the threat of making the video public. The 34-year old victim said she had met the accused through a dating app in 2016. A year later, Karan offered her spiked coconut water and then sexually assaulted her. Karan has been a model, singer and actor

F since over 25 years now and has acted in several television serials including “Swabhimaan”, “Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin” and “Saaya”. He was one of the vocalists of A Band of Boys. His friends and colleagues have defended him. Actress Pooja Bedi said the laws that exist to protect the voice of rape victims should be used in a responsible manner by women. “We need to think about how to protect the right of a man as well,” she told the media. Sudhanshu Pandey, a former member of A Band of Boys, also stood up for the accused, saying he does not believe in the allegations against Karan as he was “the most chivalrous” among their five-member team.

They’re disappointed, but it just didn’t work out.” Adele hinted on Instagram on May 5 that the split inspired her to return to the recording studio. (IANS)

Novak Djokovic celebrates winning at the end of his match against Jeremy Chardy on Thursday. (AP/PTI)

M a d r i d, M a y 9 (Agencies): Novak Djokovic defeated Jeremy Chardy 6-1, 7-6 (7/2) on Thursday at the Madrid Open to extend his domination of French opponents. The Serb top seed needed less than 90 minutes to reach the quarter-finals at the Caja Magica, beating Chardy for the 13th time in as many attempts. Djokovic holds an ove r w h e l m i n g r e c o r d against the French, standing 66-2 against them since leading Serbia to the 2010 Davis Cup title over

France. Djokovic, the Madrid champion in 2011 and 2016, is searching for his top clay form as he begins the chase a fourth straight Grand Slam title when Roland Garros starts in little over two weeks. He secured the opening set in less than half an hour, but was forced to a tiebreaker as Chardy’s resistance stiffened in the second. He will face ninth seed Marin Cilic next after the Croatian put out Laslo Djere 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, winning

Australia’s Richardson ruled out of World Cup

Sydney, May 9 (Agencies): Fast bowler Jhye Richardson has been ruled out of the Cricket World Cup after failing to recover from a shoulder injury in time to be ready for Australia’s opening game on June 1. Cricket Australia on Wednesday confirmed scans showed the right shoulder Richardson dislocated while fielding during a limitedovers international against Pakistan in March would not be repaired adequately to bowl at the level required for the World Cup. “This is obviously very disappointing news for the team and for Jhye, who has been exceptional throughout his rehabilitation process,” Australia’s team physiotherapist David Beakley said in a statement.

Jhye Richardson

“After his most recent assessment and attempting to bowl in the nets, it was clear that Jhye was not progressing as fast as required and therefore, in consultation with selectors, we made the decision to withdraw him from the squad.” Kane Richardson has been drafted into the Australia squad to join a pace bowling group that includes Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Nathan Coulter-Nile and Jason Behrendorff.

Halep, who has been struggling with injury, took the opening set and went up a break in the second before losing it against the ninth-seeded Australian who won the Miami title in March. Halep regained control with a break of serve for 6-5 as her opponent returned wide. She wrapped up victory with an untouchable forehand to the corner. “For me, it’s a huge victory, it’s a huge match I played today,” Halep said. “It means a lot that to win. It was on clay so I liked my chances, but still, it was very difficult and every point was important. I’m very motivated after reaching the semi-finals again. I will have another challenge tomorrow (Friday), so I’m not looking any further ahead than that.” “If I can play my best tennis, then we will see,” added the player who advanced through her thirdround match on Wednesday without the loss of a game.

Conte close to Inter agreement

Milan, May 9 (Agencies): Antonio Conte is close to agreeing a deal to become the new manager of Inter Milan. The Serie A side will only sack their current boss Luciano Spalletti if they can secure the former Chelsea manager. Conte has been without a club since being sacked by Chelsea in July 2018. Any potential deal which would see Conte take over at the San Siro side cannot be announced before June 30 due to regulatory issues. Conte and Chelsea have been involved in a Premier League arbitration tribunal over the terms of his departure from Stamford Bridge. Inter are currently third in Serie A, 26 points behind champions Juventus.

Rain washes out first ODI between England, Pakistan

L o n d o n , M ay 9 (Agencies): England’s opening one-day international against Pakistan was abandoned due to persistent rain after 19 overs at The Oval on Wednesday. England captain Eoin Morgan won the toss and sent Pakistan in to bat after early morning showers delayed the start and reduced the game to 47 overs per side. Opener Imam-ul-Haq and Haris Sohail were at the crease when another rain delay further shortened the match, before it was eventually called off with the outfield too soggy for play to continue. Pakistan reached 80 for the loss two wickets in 19 overs. Earlier, England allrounder Jofra Archer started with a superb maiden over to Ul-Haq, swinging the ball at sharp pace in bowler-friendly conditions. It was not long before Archer got England a breakthrough as Fakhar Zaman was caught by Joe Root in the slips. Barbados-born Archer is among a number of players who, despite being left out of England’s preliminary World Cup squad, remain hopeful of being picked as a late replacement for the tournament starting May 30. The second ODI of the five-match series will be played in Southampton on Saturday.

Stimac set to be appointed Indian football coach New Delhi, May 9 (PTI): Croatia’s World Cupper and former manager Igor Stimac is set to become Indian football team’s head coach after the AIFF’s Technical Committee Thursday recommended his name for the top job. The 51-year-old Stimac, a member of the Croatian team that finished third in the 1998 World Cup, got the nod from the Technical Committee which interviewed four shortlisted candidates on Thursday. “We have recommended Igor Stimac’s name to the All India Football Federation’s Executive Committee after interviewing all the four candidates. We found him as best suited to become India coach,” Technical Committee Chairman Shyam Thapa told PTI. The AIFF is likely to officially announce Stimac’s appointment as India coach on Friday. Stimac’s contract is likely to be for three years initially and his first assignment will be the Kings Cup international tournament in Thailand. Stimac’s first match as India coach will be against Caribbean nation Curacao in the Kings Cup at Buriram in Thailand on June 5. A national camp is expected to begin here from May 20. The India head coach’s position has been lying vacant after Stephen Constantine quit the post following India’s AFC Asian Cup campaign earlier this year. Stimac was the only candidate who turned up

Igor Stimac

in person for the interview while the other three -South Korean Lee Minsung, Spaniard Albert Roca and Hakan Ericson of Sweden -- were interviewed via skype. The newly-appointed Technical Director Doru Isac was also present during the interview process. After the interview process, the Technical Committee had a long meeting of nearly four hours in which the members debated at length about the suitability of the candidates. The discussion was basically about choosing between Stimac and Roca, who had a successful two-year stint as Bengaluru FC head coach in 2016-18. Stimac’s impressive credentials as former player and manager clinched the issue in his favour. “His (Stimac’s) experience as former player and manager is huge, so the Committee was unanimous

Sarri fears Chelsea ban will ruin title hopes L o n d o n , M ay 9 (Agencies): Maurizio Sarri said Chelsea have no chance of competing with Manchester City and Liverpool next season unless their two-window transfer ban is overturned. Chelsea were hit with the ban for breaches of the international transfer rules on minors and Fifa threw out their appeal against the decision on Wednesday. The Blues will take their fight against the transfer embargo to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), but it was the worst possible news for Sarri ahead of Thursday’s Europa League semi-final second leg against Eintracht Frankfurt. Having booked a place in next season’s Champions League after securing a top four finish in the Premier

League, Chelsea are bidding to win the first trophy of Sarri’s reign in the Europa League. They are favoured to reach the final after drawing 1-1 in Frankfurt in the first leg last week. But Sarri is concerned that a potentially uplifting end to hs troubled first season would be erased if Chelsea are unable to sign the players he believes are needed to fight City and Liverpool in the Premier League. “It’s very difficult to cover the gap at the moment; we need to work, probably we need to do something from the market,” said Sarri, whose third-placed team are 24 points behind leaders City. “So it’s not easy, because the level of the top two is very, very high. As

Maurizio Sarri

we can see in Europe so it’s not easy. “Of course, we have to work and we have to try. In my opinion we can reduce the gap. “I think that we have to buy only one, two players, otherwise it’s very difficult to improve immediately. “I think we are a very good team, so we need only one, two players, no more.” Fifa confirmed it has “partially upheld” Chelsea’s ap-

Veteran Football Delhi Capitals to fight for final berth against CSK C’ship: Dimapur,

V i s a k h a pat n a m , May 9 (PTI): Delhi Capitals, who have finally come together to play like ‘Daredevils’, will have to produce another special effort to beat the consistent Chennai Super Kings for the first time this season and make their maiden IPL final here on Friday. It was CSK who denied Delhi a top-two spot in the league standings with a crushing 80-run win at Chepauk and the Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led side stands in their way again, only stakes are much higher in the Qualifier 2. The tense win in the Eliminator, set up by their star player Rishabh Pant, here on Wednesday night is bound to provide an extra dose of motivation going into the knock-out game at Vizag. Pant’s 21-ball 49 in a high-pressure game reignited the debate on social media over his non-selection in India’s World Cup squad with former England captain Michael Vaughan saying it was “bonkers” to not have the young-wicketkeeper batsman in the mega event starting May 30. His sensational effort K Y M C

made all the difference in the run-chase but he got out when his team was very close to the finishing line. Not being able to finish games is one criticism that he has had to deal with repeatedly and there would be no better stage than Qualifier 2 to come up with another match-wining knock and carry his bat through. Another young gun Prithvi Shaw too played an important innings of 56

and was happy to be back among the runs after lowscores in the previous three innings. Delhi, having already played a game here, will have the advantage of knowing the the conditions better. Their fast bowlers, Trent Boult and Ishant Sharma, did a decent job in the absence of Kagiso Rabada and were well supported by Keemo Paul, who picked up three wickets.

in the decision to pick him. Salary-wise and in every aspect I feel he is best suited. Indian football will be in safe hands under him,” Thapa, a former India player himself, added. Roca is basically a club coach and except for a short stint as El Salvador manager (2014-15), he had never been at the helm of affairs of a national team. His demand for a higher salary, which was above the affordable limit of the AIFF, also did not help his cause. Besides Thapa and Isac, other members of the Technical Committee who attended the meeting were Henry Menezes, Prasanta Banerjee, Pradip Datta, G P Palguna and Sundar Raman. Ishfaq Ahmed was granted leave of absence. AIFF General Secretary Kushal Das and national team director Abhishek Yadav were also present as ex-officio members. Born in the small town

of Metkovic in the then Yugoslavia, Stimac has played in 53 international matches for Croatia as center-back between 1990 and 2002. He played at Euro 1996 and at the 1998 World Cup, when Croatia finished third. Before that he played in 14 matches for Yugoslavia Under-20 team in 1987. In club football, he played in 322 matches in all from 1985 to 2002. He had three spells with Croatian side Hajduk Split and also played for for Cadiz in Spain and for Derby County and West Ham United in England. As coach, he was in charge of the Croatian national team from 2012 to 2013 and also guided the team to 2014 World Cup Finals. He had brief spells in charge of Croatian teams like Hajduk Split, Cibalia, NK Zagreb and Zadar before trying his hand at Iranian club Sepahan and Qatari side Al-Shahania. Owing to the Indian team’s spirited showing in the AFC Asian Cup and a run of 13-match unbeaten streak prior to that, more than 250 candidates, including some top names from Europe, have applied for the job. The list included the likes of France’s World Cup winning coach Raymond Domenech, former England managers Sven-Goran Eriksson and Sam Allardyce. The list was pruned down to 40 and finally only four candidates were shortlisted for interview.

Veteran spinner Amit Mishra was frugal again and also picked up an important wicket. The batsmen would be rather relieved that they would not have to face the spin threat of Imran Tahir and Harbhajan Singh on a turner in Chennai but it would be a challenge nonetheless. Another thing Delhi would have to be wary of is stage fright though the Eliminator surely prepared

them for the tougher battles ahead. CSK, on the other hand, are used to playing the big matches, having won three titles besides being runners-up four times. They were hammered by Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 1 but expect CSK to bounce back in style. Dhoni will be expecting an improved performance from his batsmen after the disappointment against Mumbai Indians. Opener Shane Watson has not been among the runs ever since smashing a 53-ball 96 against Sunrisers on April 23. The talismanic skipper admitted that they could have read the conditions better against Mumbai at home and asked his batsmen to be careful with shot selection going forward. “These are the best batsmen we have got, it looks like we are are batting well, but at times, they pull off shots that shouldn’t be played. These are the players who we have banked on, they have the experience and they should know to assess the conditions better,” said Dhoni after the six-wicket loss to Mumbai.

Playing the first semifinal match on Thursday, Dimapur district veteran football team beat Phek team by 2-0 to enter the final. While host Kohima team overpowered defending champions Mokokchung via tie-breaker 3-2 after the match ended in 1-1 draw. The closing ceremony will be held from 2:30 pm on Friday.

peal, but only in allowing the club to sign European players aged under 16. The ban on signing over-16s remains in place, leaving Chelsea unable to make changes to Sarri’s squad unless they win the CAS appeal. With Real Madrid expected to make a move for Blues star Eden Hazard, who is out of contract next year, Sarri could be forced to sell a player he would prefer to keep rather than risk losing him for nothing when his deal expires. That would further weaken his options, but the Italian remains intent on staying with Chelsea next term. The former Napoli manager insists he would be able to survive without new signings at Chelsea next term, despite the ob-

vious impact on his team’s development. Asked if he would be ready to promote youth talents to the senior squad next term, Sarri said: “I like to play with young players, so for me it’s not a big problem. “At the moment, we spoke one month ago about the pre-season, the program of the next season. “But we didn’t speak about the market, also because at the moment we don’t know if we’ll be able to go into the market. “Every month I have a report, about the players on loan, we have 45 or 46 players on loan. Of course, we need to consider who is ready. “Two or three of those players are very interesting of course. But we need to consider the level.”

Spurs overturn Ajax to CL finals ALL ENGLISH CLUB FINALS WHEN SPURS CLASH WITH LIVERPOOL

Tottenham’s Lucas Moura celebrates with team-mates after scoring a goal during their Champions League semi-final second leg match against Ajax.

Amsterdam, May 9 (Agencies): Lucas Moura conjured the second Champions League miracle in 24 hours with a last-gasp winner to complete his hattrick and a 3-2 win to send Tottenham Hotspur past a shattered Ajax Amsterdam into the final on away goals on Wednesday. A day after Liverpool beat Barcelona 4-0 to overturn a 3-0 first-leg deficit, Tottenham came back from the dead after Ajax had looked certain to reach their first final for 23 years. Ajax skipper Matthijs de Ligt’s fifth-minute header and a superb 35th minute effort by Hakim Ziyech put Ajax 3-0 ahead on aggregate by halftime at a raucous Johan Cruyff Arena. But Tottenham were

transformed after the break as they became the eighth English club to reach the European Cup final, where they will face Liverpool in Madrid on June 1. With veteran Spanish striker Fernando Llorente on as a second-half substitute, Tottenham refused to lay down and when Moura scored in the 55th minute the impossible began to seem possible for the north London club. Four minutes later he fired through a crowd to equalise on the night and after both sides hit the woodwork in the heartpumping finale, Moura drilled into the corner in the sixth minute of stoppage time to leave Ajax crestfallen. Tottenham’s only other European Cup semi-final came 57 years ago when

they lost to Benfica and their improbable victory left the away fans in a state of delirium and Argentine manager Mauricio Pochettino in tears at the end. Tottenham had suffered three consecutive defeats in all competitions before Wednesday’s second leg and when Ajax led 2-0 at halftime, there was a celebratory mood inside the jam-packed Johan Cruyff Arena as their fans’ thoughts turned to Madrid. But their joy turned into a nightmare as they were overwhelmed by a Tottenham side who dispensed with complicated tactics and simply threw the kitchen sink at their hosts. Ajax got off to a dream start as captain De Ligt took advantage of

poor marking to head past Hugo Lloris. Tottenham responded in spirited fashion with Son Heung-min deceiving keeper Onana with a cross that hit the post. But Ajax were cool, calm and collected and bided their time before striking again in devastating fashion. Tadic, who moments earlier had dragged a shot just wide, was released down the left and he cut the ball back perfectly for Ziyech to whip a left-footed shot inside the far post. Only one of the 17 teams to lose the first leg of a Champions League semi-final at home had ever come back to win. But with Llorente on for Victor Wanyama, Tottenham went for the direct approach after the break and Ajax were rattled. Moura converted in the 55th minute, sliding home after running on to Dele Alli’s pass and four minutes later, after Onana had made a remarkable save to dent Llorente, the Brazilian showed great footwork to thread a shot through a crowd. It set up a rip-roaring finale with Tottenham pressing for the winning goal and Ajax looking to counter-attack. Ziyech shot against the post, then Tottenham’s former Ajax defender Jan Vertonghen headed against the crossbar with the goal gaping before Lloris’s save kept Spurs alive. Lloris went up for a corner in stoppage time but it was Moura who proved Tottenham’s hero, producing a clinical finish from Alli’s flick.

Bairstow picks WC glory over Ashes L o n d o n , Ma y 9 (Agencies): England batsman Jonny Bairstow said he would rather win the 50-overs World Cup than the Ashes series against Australia if he was given the chance to claim only one. World Cup returns to England and Wales after 20 years and Bairstow said England deserved to win their maiden title after all the hard work they had put in over the past two years to become the number one ranked one-day team.

“I am going (to pick the) World Cup because it’s been so long since we’ve had an opportunity to win one,” Bairstow told Sky Sports. “I think that the

amount of work that has gone into this group of players over the last couple of years, building and building, I firmly believe we’ve put an amount of effort in that gives us the best chance. “Guys have worked day in, day out, taking their games to places that they weren’t at 18 months, two years ago. That’s from the vision Morgs (England captain Eoin Morgan) has had and the way we are playing our one-day cricket.” Bair-

stow also credited the Indian Premier League (IPL) for sharpening his skills and improving his form ahead of the World Cup. The 29-year-old scored 445 runs in 10 matches at an average of over 55 for the Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise, forming a formidable opening partnership with Australia’s David Warner. England begin their World Cup campaign on May 30 when they take on South Africa at The Oval in London.

Ma d r i d , Ma y 9 (Agencies): The curtain came down on David Ferrer’s career after defeat by reigning champion Alexander Zverev at the Madrid Open. The 37-year-old Spaniard, a former world No 3 who won 27 career titles and reached the French Open final in 2013, wanted to retire after his home tournament. Ferrer had beaten compatriot Roberto Bautista

Agut on Tuesday to prolong his career by 24 hours, and threatened to extend it further after racing into a 4-1 lead in the first set against Zverev. But that was as good as it got for the veteran as 22-year-old German Zverev, the third seed, dropped just one more game on his way to a 6-4 6-1 victory. “I’ll never forget this day,” he said, with his wife and son by his side. “I’ve

been very lucky. I’ve always wanted to end my career like this. I couldn’t keep playing at the level that I wanted, but I’m very happy and very proud of my career.” “All the players are very sad he is retiring,” Zverev said. “You always left everything on the court, in every single match. It’s a privilege for me to be here playing against you in your last match.”

La Liga posts revenue of € 4.479 bn New Delhi, May 9 (IANS): According to the latest financial report of Spanish professional football corresponding to the most recent completed season (2017-18), La Liga clubs posted a revenue of 4.479 billion euro, recording a growth of 20.6 per cent over the previous season, the best in the competition’s history. The results fall at the midway point of the threeyear audiovisual cycle for the national market, so they are not affected by

a sudden increase in revenues that is inconsistent with previous years. LaLiga’s gross operating profit was 945 million euro (+20.7 per cent), operating profit 325 million euro (+11.4 per cent) and the net profit for the year was 189 million euro (+6.7 per cent). In short, La Liga produced a solid, positive and growing set of results across the board, achieving the best figures in the competition’s history. The 2017-18 season saw two new factors driv-

ing La Liga’s growth: Commercial revenues and revenues from transfers. These have seized the central role held by broadcasting revenues as the driver of annual growth. In the case of commercial revenues (without including turnover from advertising), the annual increase was 34.1 per cent, amounting to turnover of 838 million euro, which is indicative of the fact that Spanish clubs are becoming an increasingly attractive medium for sponsors.
