BSY to face floor test today

SC REJECTS BJP’s PLEAS FOR WEEK TIME, SECRET BALLOT NEW DELHI/BENGALURU, MAY 18: After being sworn-in as chief minister under highly controversial circumstances, BS Yeddyurappa will face the litmus test on Saturday at 4 p.m. when the floor test will be held as per the directives of the Supreme Court on Friday. The Supreme Court order has given a massive boost to the Congress-JDS post-poll alliance who claim to have 116 MLAs in a house with an effective strength of 222 after elections to two constituencies were halted. SC also rejected Yeddyurappa’s plea, made through senior counsel Mukul Rohatgi, asking for at least a week’s time to face the floor test, and directed it to be conducted on Saturday instead. A bench of Justice A.K. Sikri, Justice S.A. Bobde and Justice Ashok Bhushan on Friday said the pro-tem Speaker, conventionally the senior-most member of the assembly, would administer the newly-elected members their oath and then conduct the floor test. The court also junked Attorney General K.K. Venugopal’s suggestion that the floor test be conducted through secret ballot and barred Yeddyurappa from taking any policy decisions till the floor test. On Friday evening, the

SHOW OF STRENGTH No secret ballot for the floor test

Court restricts BJP from nominating an Anglo-Indian MLA until floor test is conducted

Karnataka CM B.S. Yeddyuruppa cannot take any policy decision before the floor test

Karnataka’s DGP has been asked to ensure security of MLAs Pro tem speaker will preside over the floor test

Karnataka governor Vajubhai Vala has K.G. Bopaiah appointed BJP MLA K.G. Bopaiah as pro tem speaker B.S. Yeddyuruppa

confrontation between the two sides once again reached the Supreme Court, with the Congress claiming that the appointment of BJP legislator K.G. Bopaiah as pro-tem Speaker by the Governor “violates every single constitutional norm” of senior-most member being appointed to the post. Meanwhile, Congress sources disclosed that the only unforeseen probability in the trial of strength could come from some Congress and JDS MLAs who have either been warned of criminal investigations or allegedly offered large sums of money not to vote on Saturday. Whether this will play out remains

to be seen.

DIMAPUR, MAY 18 (NPN): Political developments in Karnataka have found reverberations in Nagaland too as the NPF has now demanded that the governor invite 26 NPF MLAs to form the government as was done in the case BJP in Karnataka, which emerged as the single largest party. NPF legislature party leader and former chief minister, TR Zeliang, Friday said that NPF party would stake claim to form the government. While inviting Yeddyurappa, Karnataka governor also gave him 15 days to prove majority on the floor of the house. In a series of tweets, Zeliang said the NPF alone secured 26 seats in the 2018 State Assembly Elections. “The NPF party will stake claim before the Governor to form the Government on the merit of our case as being the single largest party. Why should different laws be applied in different states on a same matter?” questioned the NPF leader. Further, he asked why the NPF was not accorded the same privilege and sworn in to form government and given 15 days time to prove majority in the floor of the House? “With the recent development in Karnataka and subsequent logical questions raised by the single largest party in the States of Bihar, Goa and Manipur, it is indeed time to query on the integrity of The Raj Bhavan in the states,” Zeliang tweeted.

D I M A P U R , M AY 1 8 (NPN): Nagaland Board of School Education (NBSE) Friday declared the results of HSLC & HSSLC Examinations 2018 with girls continuing to fare better than boys.

Illogical for NPF Manipur to be with BJP: Shürho Karnataka Gov’s action has Emilo K. Konyak

KOHIMA, MAY 18 (NPN): Confirming that the ties with former ally –BJP- has reached a point of ‘No Return’ NPF president Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu on Friday categorically stated that the four NPF legislators in Manipur now have no reason to be part of the BJP-led government in Manipur since NPF as a party organization has completely severed ties BJP. Taking note of the cascading effect of the Karnataka crisis in several states and particularly in Manipur where CLP leader and former chief minister O. Ibobi has staked claim to form the government, Dr. Liezietsu said NPF was yet to decide on supporting Congress, should the latter decide to stake claim to form government in Manipur on account of it being the single largest party there.

Speaking to Nagaland Post at his residence here on Friday, Liezietsu said NPF was working on “something”, and that until such time the issue was decided, he cannot comment further. He however maintained that there was no consideration in jumping into the Congress bandwagon in Manipur, as NPF will act consciously on the matter. Dr. Liezietsu also opined that the demand in principle by the Congress in Manipur was somewhat practically difficult as one of its MLA joined the BJP-led N Biren Singh government immediately after swearingin and that eight other MLAs have defected to BJP. He said Congress filed a case against the Congress defector who has become minister and the first to defect. He pointed out that despite the MLAs having fallen under the Anti Defection Law, no action has

been taken by the Congress in Manipur. Liezietsu stated that in principle since NPF in Nagaland severed ties with BJP, there was no logic for the four NPF legislators to continue in the ruling coalition in Manipur. He, however, said the party will not take any hasty decision. In a scenario where NPF staked claim to form the government in Nagaland, Dr. Liezietsu said that the party will discuss the issue as most of its MLAs were currently busy campaigning for the Lok Sabha by-poll. On the current political scenario in Karnataka, Dr. Liezietsu accused BJP of trying to do everything as per its own sweet will and warned it will prove disastrous for the people of this country and the BJP itself. He cautioned that India will break up if BJP attempts to enforce its Hindutva agenda.

murdered democracy: Therie

Staff Reporter

D I M A P U R , M AY 1 8 (NPN): Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) on Friday condemned the actions of Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Rudabhai Vala in inviting the BJP to form the government disregarding the claims of the CongressJD(S) alliance which enjoyed majority support. Addressing media persons here, NPCC president K. Therie termed Vala’s action as “murder of democracy” and accused BJP of disregarding the Constitutional provisions. “Today no Indian citizen can rely on BJP that they would follow the acts and rules listed in the Constitution, this action will go a long way in the history,” Therie stated. (Cont’d on p-11) He added that if a mi-

nority party or the single largest political party could be invited to form the government then Congress should have been given the same opportunity in Manipur, Meghalaya, Goa and even NPF here in Nagaland. Without have the required numbers BJP in Manipur, Goa and Meghalaya was allowed to form the government, Therie said. To this, he reiterated saying BJP could not be trusted since it was unsure as to which rule, law or constitution they would apply at a given situation. Therie reminded that the role of a Governor was clear, as mentioned in chapter four of the Constitution of India, that the Governor can determine its action by way of physical assessment or studying the situation.

Tura, May 18 (PTI): A team of Election Commission officials has seized Rs 5 lakh in cash from a vehicle in bypoll-bound Ampati constituency, the second such instance in 12 days, a senior police officer said. The bypoll, scheduled on May 28, was necessitated after Mukul Sangma, the leader of the opposition in the Meghalaya Assembly, vacated the seat. Sangma, who contested the February 27 Assembly polls from two seats, chose to retain Songsak constituency. “A vehicle was intercepted yesterday near Monabari village of the constituency, close to Assam border, by a team of flying squad and surveillance of-

ficers and cash amounting to Rs 4.95 lakh was seized from its occupant, the additional deputy commissioner of South West Garo Hills district, DD Shira, said. The man in the vehicle identified himself as Abu Jiyat Shah and said the

money was meant for business purposes, Shira said. The model code of conduct that came into force in the bypoll-bound constituency on April 26 does not allow anybody to carry more than Rs 50,000 in cash, he added.

Urging the people of the state to maintain calm, he appealed them not to indulge in any activity which may hurt sentiments of other communities though every citizen is free to stage demonstrations democratically. Informing that he had met with the leaders of the CSOs who came to submit a memorandum to the Prime Minister through him, Singh said that he made it clear the firm stand of the state government. He further informed that the memorandum submitted by the CSOs was immediately forwarded to the PMO through fax and Manipur Bhavan at New Dehli has been instructed to submit a hard copy of the same to the PMO to ensure reaching the Prime Minister.

Tripura Cong seeks zero line fencing along Bangla border AGARTALA, May 18 (Agencies): Normal life was affected in the bordering villages of Sonamura on Thursday following a dawn-to-dusk general strike called by the opposition Congress in protest against the police action on villagers on Wednesday in Durganagar and to ensure zero line fencing along a 9-km stretch running through five villages. Though government offices and schools functioned normally, most of the markets were closed and private vehicles were off the road. Among other demands was the roll-back of the decision of demolishing party offices on government land without following rules. Congress also cried foul over the Karnataka governor’s decision not to invite the Congress-JD (S) alliance to form the government. The police arrested more than 500 demonstrators. Party spokesperson Tapas De alleged that as many as 15 people, including 10 women, belonging to the minority community, were injured when police resorted to lathicharge to clear the blockade. The villagers had sought zero line fencing along the India-Bangladesh border instead of erection of

wire fences across 150 yards. The director general of border management, during his recent visit to the area, had committed himself to wirefencing within 20 yards. The villagers demanded compliance with this direction if the zero line fencing was not feasible. BSF officials and the border management wing of the Union home ministry had interacted with the villagers when they had visited Sonamura villages. They were convinced that the villagers would face difficulties if the fencing was done across 150 yards of the international border and told villagers fences would be erected up to 20 yards, De said. However, two days ago, the chief minister visited the villages and directed the administration to finish the fencing work within three months.

In consonance with this, the district administration had gone to the village to conduct their work when they were opposed by villagers. Finally, the police assaulted them and cleared the blockade. The work of fencing was initiated forcefully, alleged former minister and senior Congress leader Billal Mia. He also stated that the livelihood of more than 500 families in the five villages of Sonamura would be affected if the fencing work is executed within 150 yards of the Indian territory. The government has not agreed to a rehabilitation package for the affected families, he added. He further alleged that the border guards of Bangladesh would torture them whenever they found them on Bangladesh territory but the state government did not help them.

BJP MLA asked to prove citizenship

GUWAHATI, May 18 (Agencies/ IANS): A BJP MLA in Assam has been served a notice by a court of foreigners’ tribunal that asked him to prove he is an Indian. Kishor Nath, who represents the Barkhola constituency in southern Assam’s Barak Valley, his wife Nilima Nath and his four brothers Matilal Nath, Pradip Nath, Jagadish Nath and Manik Nath besides sister-in-law Rakhi Nath were served the notices by the court of Foreigners’ Tribunal No 1 of Cachar district two days ago. They will have to depose before the court on different days and prove with documentary evidence that they are Indian citizens. The MLA told The New Indian Express he was surprised that he and his family members had been served the notices on the suspicion that they were illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. “I am surprised that a people’s representative has been served the notice. I am a son of the soil and we have been living here (Barak Valley) for three generations. We all will depose before the court respecting its order and submit documents to prove that we are genuine Indian citizens,” Nath, who has been asked to depose before the court

next month, said. He said during a survey carried out between 2008 and 2012 for the verification of documents of people, a section of officials did not carry out the exercise properly. He said had they done it properly, people would not have been harassed. “I am trying to find out the official based on whose

report the court of foreigners’ tribunal served the notice to me. I had always heard about allegations of harassment by officials, engaged in the detection of illegal immigrants. Now that I have received a notice, I have no doubt that genuine Indians are harassed on the suspicion of being illegal immigrants,” the MLA said.

ASSU working for consensus on Citizenship Bill

Continuing its fight against the Citizenship Amendment Bill, 2016, the All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) has now decided to create awareness against the Bill at the national level so that pressure can be mounted on the Central government to drop the measure. The powerful students’ body is continuously protesting against the Constitutional amendment Bill and has also met leaders of regional political parties to have a consensus at national level over the Bill. “We have already met leaders of 11 political pasties across the state over the Bill. We are going to meet more leaders at national level to have a consensus over the issue,” union adviser Samujjal Bhattacharyya said on Friday. A delegation, led by Bhattacharyya, met Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar recently over the issue. Nitish Kumar assured the delegation that he would write to the Prime Minister against the Central government’s move to give citizenship on the basis of religion. “We are going to meet (West Bengal Chief Minister) Mamata Banerjee, (Odisha Chief Minister) Navin Patnaik and other strong regional party leaders across the country soon,” he said. Student union President Dipank Kumar Nath said, “Assam is a small state and had already taken the burden of illegal Bangladeshis, who entered the state till midnight of March 24, 1971. The illegal infiltration from Bangladesh had already changed the demography of the state.” “The historical Assam Accord is a national commitment which had categorically said that those who had entered the state after midnight of March 24, 1971 will have to be detected and deported.” He said the student body will have its central executive meeting on Saturday followed by a delegates’ meeting on Sunday.

AIZAWL, May 18 (agencies): Mizoram Underground Returnees’ Association (MURA) has slammed the Mizoram PCC for failing to meet the demands of the association. MURA president P.C. Lalthuama said they had reached a 10-point agreement with the Congress before the 2013 Assembly polls but none of them were fulfilled by the party, with exception of the housing scheme. “The Congress has failed to fulfill its promises and rehabilitate Mura members though it had allotted plots of lands to 45 members and gave new land use policy assistance to 35 members,” he alleged. According to the agreement, MURA members and their next of kin are to be offered government jobs and the PCC was to also accord any suitable contract work to the members and to make them avail of any possible developments and economic benefits. However, none of the agreements were fulfilled.

The veteran Congress leader, who is among the few Congress chief ministers left in the country said he has no apprehension over the growing powers of the BJP in the rest of the country. “The dirty politics of the BJP can be seen everywhere, demonetisation has nothing to do with the economy, the main reason was the UP election, the BJP knew beforehand and while the opposition parties were facing cash crunch, the BJP leadership flew in with Rs 4500 crore to make sure that votes were bought,” Lal Thanhawla alleged.

Agents of the centre

G

overnors are appointed by the President under the advice of the council of ministers and are supposed to be the custodians of the constitution. They are essentially representatives of the President of India and sign executive orders of the states. However, since decades, the offices of the governors have been embroiled in serious controversies. It happened in 1959 when Kerala governor Burgula Ramakrishna Rao sacked the first communist ministry under EMS Namboodiripad, which had a slender majority of two members. Everybody blamed then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of being intolerant to the communists. There were so many other controversies involving Governors who seriously acted as agents of the central government by taking biased and sometimes totally unconstitutional decisions. The latest involving Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala, who invited BJP leader and former chief minister Yeddyurappa to be sworn-in as chief minister is not the only one during the four years under the Modi government. Vala was president of Gujarat BJP, when Narendra Modi was chief minister of the state, and who had vacated his assembly seat for facilitate the election of Modi. The Seventies and Eighties saw the en-masse sackings of state governments, particularly by the Indira Gandhi regime and this was followed by the Janata Party in 1977 in retaliation. The growth of regional parties and coalition politics after this made the Centre quite careful about the exercise of Article 356, but it did not stop the abuse of the governor’s office for political purposes. It is a practice to have persons close to the centre as governors to be used as agents for political objectives by Centre. The most important event was in 1994 landmark Bommai judgment— on a petition by the dismissed Janata Party chief minister in Karnataka S R Bommai— when the court laid down the limitations for gubernatorial authority and also made the decision of dismissing an elected government open to judicial scrutiny. However governors continued to cross the line to please their political masters. In 2002, Uttar Pradesh was kept under suspended animation for months on end as the result had thrown up a fractured verdict. In 2006, Buta Singh was ticked off by the Supreme Court for his dissolution of the Assembly as governor in Bihar. Jagmohan, in 1984, dismissed the elected J&K legislators, that set the state on a course from which it took years to recover. After the Narendra Modi government assumed power in 2014, five governors were made to resign. These included MK Narayanan of West Bengal, Ashwani Kumar of Nagaland, BL Joshi of Uttar Pradesh and Shekhar Dutta of Chhattisgarh. 85-year-old Gujarat governor Kamla Beniwal was first transferred to Mizoram and later sacked from the position, two months before she was to complete her term. It was expected that the party with a difference would usher in a new culture. Alas it did not happen. However, it subverted the constitution in Uttarakhand by sacking the Harish Rawat government in 2016 who was reinstated by the Supreme Court. The same year Nabam Tuki government in Arunachal was sacked by the governor but he also was reinstated by Supreme Court. The office of governor was misused in Manipur, Meghalaya and Goa to put governments of choice. Those out of power clamour for change. But politically nobody is interested in a real change of functioning despite a broad consensus. It calls for a national debate as to how independently the governor can function. Or does really anyone want that?

DailyDevotion Living Simply— Yet Focused Look at the birds of the air….Consider the lilies of the field… —Matthew 6:26, 28 “Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin”— they simply are! Think of the sea, the air, the sun, the stars, and the moon— all of these simply are as well— yet what a ministry and service they render on our behalf! So often we impair God’s designed influence, which He desires to exhibit through us, because of our own conscious efforts to be consistent and useful. Jesus said there is only one way to develop and grow spiritually, and that is through focusing and concentrating on God. In essence, Jesus was saying, “Do not worry about being of use to others; simply believe on Me.” In other words, pay attention to the Source, and out of you “will flow rivers of living water” (John 7:38). We cannot discover the source of our natural life through common sense and reasoning, and Jesus is teaching here that growth in our spiritual life comes not from focusing directly on it, but from concentrating on our Father in heaven. Our heavenly Father knows our circumstances, and if we will stay focused on Him, instead of our circumstances, we will grow spiritually— just as “the lilies of the field.” The people who influence us the most are not those who detain us with their continual talk, but those who live their lives like the stars in the sky and “the lilies of the field”— simply and unaffectedly. Those are the lives that mold and shape us. If you want to be of use to God, maintain the proper relationship with Jesus Christ by staying focused on Him, and He will make use of you every minute you live— yet you will be unaware, on the conscious level of your life, that you are being used of Him.

step towards Infuse ethics into the education AMental Health system: revolutionize the minds M I n all the facets of human life there has been total degradation of basic values such as transparency, integrity, honesty, temperance/moderation and contentment. Currently, in all spheres of our interaction-social, economic, political and religious we have been experiencing breakdown of ethics. In recently held elections in one of the constituencies in Bangalore some thousands of voters’ ID Cards (genuine ones) were confiscated. Freebees such as cookers, gas stoves and others articles were found and so polling in that constituency were countermanded. It has been reported that distribution of cash to the prospective voters. Similar situations and also other incentives to lure voters prevails in other parts of India at the time of elections-panchayat, assembly and parliamentary elections. Even in other areas when it comes to secure licenses, employment, admissions or works to be done in the government sectors if we pay money the jobs we want are done. Corruption in all facets of life is widely prevalent including judiciary and ecclesial/ religious bodies. Each and every segment of human activity in India is tainted with something which is not proper and right. Those who are concerned about integrity and good governance in private and public life expect transparency and accountability. There are many ways of making money. People want to make money by hook or crook. Adam Smith, the father of economics, who was also a moral theologian very clearly pointed out that ‘the ways’ and ‘the means’ ought to be clearly delineated. Economics also reiterates moral investments, social responsibility and morality in economic dealings such as buying and sellingwill have to be looked into. All aspects of life will have to encompass with certain value premises, so that human activities

would by and large reflect certain moral standards. It is unfortunate the current scenario fails to reflect minimal ethical standards both in public and private life. In such appalling scenario what then is the way out? Under these circumstances the best possible option would perhaps be: imbuing ethics within the system of education. Currently, those who are concerned about values and fairness across the world have become pessimistic and lost their hope because of the fact that the things they face and the episodes that are happening around and the ways the people respond to those shows total callousness. This is why people have increasingly become pessimistic. Those who are serious about governance, transparency and accountability have come to a point that the institutions of governance as well as those individuals, communities and others have failed to a large extent to set the wrong right. And those involved in diverse ways in the societal spheres are of the opinion that something should drastically be done to set the wrongs right. For this, there is a need for value-oriented education which should be part of educational system. The need of the hour is to infuse ethics into education. This is of course is the dire need which is supposed to build-in ethics into the system of education. This is the only hope of the present and the future which would take the whole process to a transformative phase in the value orientations of the learners. This would certainly and eventually nur ture hope amongst the humanity. Decisions that we make and the behavior we follow-through revolve around the ethical decisions we make in each and every situation. Since ethics is absent in the educational process people by and large have forgotten the basic ethical principles that trigger and influences human behavior. Infusing ethicalities on

The view on Sumih dialect

A

bout the banning of book written by Mr. Khetoshe Sumih, out of the two books written by me, one is the Sumih Tsayeh (grammar) book and the other one is Apuh Assu Leshe and Kichihtssathoh is a key book or notes. So in this pretext the banning is not appropriate. The Sumih Literature Board (SLB) should go in depth for brining this kind of books. As the need of this hour is many pupils want to take up Sumih instead of Alternative English but lack of helping books they are compelled to go with Alternative English, so it came into existence. It is known fact that for text book, the SLB’s permission has to be obtained. It is a help book the matter was not thought in that manner. On other thing, book marketing was not done at all. On personal request, the book is given to a student on nominal price in-spite of great labor exerted by Mr. Khetoshe Sumih. One of the good things about two books is these books came in existence in the year 2017 for our own students who were to take HSLC Exam in 2017. The output was a great success as who appeared in Sumih subject came out 100% with flying color. These books are in accordance to help our own students to clear HSLC Exams as well as future academic use. In this manner it is only in connection with NBSE syllabus. So, SLB is requested to relook and rethink on banning issue. I do apologize for this act of writing the Sumih Tsayeh (Grammar) book and Apuh Assu Leshe and Kichihtsaathoh in compliance with NBSE syllabus. I hope once again SLB to rethink by relook if the books are in the appropriation, then they should be included in SLB manner which bring my hard labor as a reward.

the principles of ‘what is good life’ and how to lead and live good life’ into the curricula of education will certainly mould each and every pupil to ethical human being leading to all-embracing and allinclusive humanity. We live in a world of unethical practices and behavior such as avariciousness, consumerism, cut-throat competition, accumulation, individualism, humanity and greed that goes against caring, sharing, equality, and community. Education without ethics results in total degradation of value applications and manifestations in individual, communal and societal levels. It would further lead to total bankruptcy of non-valuebased life in the very lifemilieu of society. Ethics depicts value-based society wherein the individual and communities live in line with the prescribed ethical standards based on normative principles. Ethics if imbued into the system of education the total personality of an individual is transformed right from disciplining to good gestures and positive characteristics that enhances the corporate living of people. The whole personality gets transformed if ethics is instilled within the curricula such as telling the truth, standing for honesty, being punctual, not involving in gossiping, being punctual and disciplined, abstaining from looting and thieving, not indulging in bribery and corruption, and being inclusive. Education with applied ethics can address the issues that the people face strongly and boldly because of the moral rootedness. Moral principles will have to be nurtured consciously and once they are instilled the students would stand strong with courage and will power and not be swayed by other considerations. Introducing ethics and moral in education would certainly raise hope for a better human society thereby leading to humanism and inclusivity. We need to

build-in ethical muscle power which means persons rooted in strong moral principles that asks and raises critical questions when confronted with luring situations. We are pushed into a situation where in our social, economic, professional, banks, business houses and political settings needs complete overhauling because of the fact that they are soaked with corruption. Ethics is universal and pre-eminent concepts which is timeless and go beyond boundaries and domains. If there is not ethics it becomes chaotic and malfunctioned. In a world of fakes news, lies and post-truth, more and more ethical systems need to be evolved and positioned so that the issues that emanates from varied field be adequately and appropriately responded and dealt with. Education in order to authentic, integral and complete, students should be committed and thus develop high moral standards that ought to reflect in words and action. This is how responsible behavioral life be built for the present and future generations. We at this point of juncture need ethics and value-based education so that the pupils will be geared towards ethical compass. The knowledge power will have to be by all means couched with ethical power-the most countervailing power than all the powers and principalities. Ethics and education should go hand in hand because they are supportive to each other and complimentary. For complete and integral life, ethics is the most crucial factor and by all means should be incorporated at the schooling, collegiate and post-graduate levels. Ethics should go along with education and also in other areas so that it becomes an integral component of education and human behavior and more importantly in the “Operating Systems” of humans. Dr. John Mohan Razu

ental issues are inevitable and it is not limited to a certain age, it affects everyone equally but no one is ready to talk about it. Society has its own set of norms that are expected to be followed but these norms can push you to the edge and you would find yourself in a mess, not knowing what to do. Talking about mental health does not seem interesting to some but it is important and necessary. Knowledge about mental health should be imparted universally and a lifestyle to enhance one’s healthy mind should be practiced. We see a lot of teenagers struggling with a lot of problems such as depression, stress and anxiety but their problems are not acknowledged. They don’t open up for help because their issues are usually pushed aside, often they are blocked out by this one statement- “You are too young to be stressed”. This one sentence might not sound harmful but it shatters the person internally. Teenagers are prone to many mental disorders such as Depression, ADHD, Anxiety disorders, Bipolar Disorder and other psychotic disorders. These are caused because of peer pressure, academic environment, societal pressure, economic and financial pressure, technology and various factors that influence the individual mentally. Mental issues/ disorders are threatening because they don’t just affect our regular lives but may also result in other horrifying consequences such as eating disorder, addiction, self harm or even suicide. The suicide rates among teenagers are increasing year after year and there a lot of them who are stuck in harming themselves every day. It is okay to say that you are not doing fine, but it is not okay to hide the struggle you are going through. Open up with the fact that you need help and there is nothing to be ashamed about dealing with stress, anxiety or any other mental illness. Records have it that boys are less likely to seek help or talk about their mental health but that needs to stop, everyone needs to voice out their opinion or issues. A platform needs to be created for individuals to come out and discuss what they feel and to find out ways to overcome their hardships. The attitude towards mental health should be accepting and positive. Recognise the signs and symptoms and necessary guidance should be received or given. According to the survey conducted by National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), 40% of the teenagers do not seek help, 80% feel overwhelmed by their responsibilities, and 50% have become so anxious that they struggled in school. Acceptance can heal and it can only start by taking the first the step- Talking about Mental Health. Parents, teachers and elders should be aware of what their teens are going through and should be there for them when they are in need. Schools and colleges should appoint therapists and counsellors, workshops, rejuvenation camps for the well being of the students and also presenting alternate ways to channel one’s emotions and feelings. But most importantly SUPPORT should be provided with a lot of care and patience. Understanding what they go through and viewing situations according to their perspective may result in an easier way to approach them and fixing their problems. Hence, utmost value should be given to the smallest signs or problems that people tend to face because it may lead to a bigger and more complicated issue if not dealt with immediately.

Centre slams states over govt jobs interviews New Delhi, May 18 (PTI): The Centre has slammed nine states including Jammu and Kashmir and West Bengal over “slow progress” made by them in abolishing interviews from selection process for junior level government jobs. In a letter to chief ministers of Haryana, Nagaland, Odisha, Tripura, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Sikkim, Jammu and Kashmir, West Bengal, Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh said they were yet to effectively initiate the process of discontinuation of interview, whereas the other 20 states have already made a significant headway in this direction. He also cited the Independence Day speech of Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered on August 15, 2015 in his communication, saying that Modi had then called for the discontinuation of the practice of

interview in order to bring in transparency and ensure level-playing field for aspirants from all sections and backgrounds. Singh pointed out that within five months of the announcement made by the prime minister, his ministry had, with effect from January 1, 2016, discontinued interview for recruitment to all Group ‘C’, Group ‘D’, Group ‘B’ (Non-Gazetted) and equivalent posts under all the ministries, departments, attached offices, subordinate offices, autonomous bodies, public sector undertakings etc. falling under the government of India. He also cited the address by President Ram Nath Kovind on January 31, 2017, wherein the president had indicated that the process of recruitment to government jobs has been made simpler and transparent by dispensing with interview for recruitment

to non-gazetted posts. Expressing disappointment over slow response by some states, Singh stated that the Personnel Ministry has taken up the matter with the state governments from time to time, according to the communiqué. The issue of discontinuation of interview was also discussed with the Principal Secretaries/Secretaries of General Administration Departments (GAD) of all states at a meeting held on April 22, 2016. However, the details or the follow-up or the decision taken by these nine states is still awaited. Besides transparency and fair selection, Singh also noted that the abolition of interviews will make the selection process much more cost-effective. He has urged upon the states to take a led in this initiative and also communicate to the Centre about the progress made.

However, he said Vala failed to understand the scenario, despite knowing the fact that BJP did not have the requisite numbers to form the government. Therie said such action has made it clear that BJP has destroyed the democratic system in which the people of this country believes in. This has only shown their frustration and hunger for power, said Therie, adding “things are going beyond control because of Modi and Amit Shah.” In regard to the Lok Sabha by-election, Therie informed that Congress had proposed to setup a consensus candidate with other parties like NPF to fight against communal forces. And for this, he said NPCC held a meeting with the NPF, after which both the parties agreed in principle to setup a consensus candidate. However, Therie said NPF went ahead and chose former Congressman,

C. Apok Jamir as their candidate for the by-election. This stunned the NPPC and the All India Congress Committee (AICC) as Apok Jamir, along with few other former Congress members, has a case pending before the court in connection with anti-defection, Therie said. Though Congress was unhappy with the decision of the NPF, Therie however said that the party, taking into consideration the dangers posed by social transformation, communal threat and hindutva forces, was willing to lend out its support to NPF in the interest of the people and to safeguard the special provisions of Article 371 A. On being asked whether Congress was planning to forge an alliance with NPF in Manipur, Therie said NPF had already decided to withdraw its four members from the Manipur government and if the Congress is ready then a new government could be formed anytime.

AAP impeaches party convenor (From p-1) the AAP Nagaland Friday summoned Dr. Lemwang in person to clarify his press statement within five days failing which the party would initiate stern action against him. Stating that AAP Nagaland was currently restructuring the party ‘state executive council’ post general election, the press and media in-charge said the statement issued by

“self-styled AAP spokesperson” did not hold water. It also treated the statement “null and void”, saying the said meeting was attended by only five state executive members without even intimating the supposed meeting to the other state executive members. Further, press and media in-charge said AAP Nagaland volunteers have vehemently condemned the “heinous act” of Dr. Lemwang, who for his “personal benefit” tar-

nished the image of Akavi N. Zhimomi, senior AAP Volunteer and founding member of AAP Nagaland and Sushil Kumar, Advisor AAP Nagaland, and also the office of AAP Nagaland.

letter that gone viral on social media was addressed to Akavi and not the office of AAP Nagaland. It maintained that the letter leaked on the social media even before reaching Akavi clearly reflected the “malicious intention of some outside element” to tarnish and defame the image of Akavi and Sushil. “The above mentioned letter is personal letter and not official letter as claimed by Dr. Lemwang, self-styled spokesperson,” it stated.

From 2018-19 fiscal year that began last month, the government has shifted to a cash basis of accounting where revenues accrued at the completion of a month would be taken on record immediately at the end of the month. Accordingly the Rs 1.03 lakh crore GST collected in April reflects the central GST and state GST which accrued in March. The GST collections which accrue in April and collected in May will be released on June 1.

Mumbai, May 18 (PTI): After a brief respite, the rupee once again turned shaky and plunged by 30 paise to end at a fresh 16-month low of 68 against the US currency on renewed dollar buying interest amid global macro challenges. The forex sentiment wobbled after the crude prices broke the psychological threshold of USD 80 a barrel - spurring a fresh wave of dollar demand from staterun oil marketing companies fearing a further depreciation in rupee value. Traders also reported hedging-related demand as importers rushed to pay forward premium, putting additional pressure on the local currency. The rupee selloffs accelerated last week against the grim backdrop of surging global crude prices and growing concerns over widening twin deficits even as foreign investors reduced their rupee-dominated exposures. The home currency had recovered 37 paise in the last two days after hitting a

Mumbai, May 18 (PTI): The country’s foreign exchange reserves decreased by USD 1.237 billion to USD 417.702 billion in the week to May 11, on account of a fall in foreign currency assets, the Reserve Bank data showed Friday. In the previous week, the country’s foreign exchange reserves had fallen by USD 1.426 billion to USD 418.940 billion. T h e r e s e r ve s h a d touched a record high of USD 426.028 billion in the week to April 13, 2018. It had crossed the USD 400billion mark for the first time in the week to September 8, but has since been fluctuating. In the reporting week, the foreign currency assets, a major component of the overall reserves, declined by USD 1.262 billion to USD 392.453 billion. Expressed in US dollar terms, the foreign currency assets include the effect of appreciation or depreciation of the non-US currencies such as the euro, the pound and the yen held in the reserves.

crore. Ericsson had signed a seven-year deal in 2014 to operate and manage RCom’s nationwide telecom network but has not been paid for the service. Last September, the telecom gear maker had filed a petition in the NCLT Mumbai bench seeking liquidation of the telecom operator to recover Rs 1,150 crore that RCom owes it. NCLT proceedings can potentially delay RCom’s plans to sell assets to lighten its debt load. RCom owes around Rs 45,000 crore to as many as 31 domestic and international banks, including over Rs 10,000 crore to a Chinese lender. Due to mounting losses, the company began to wind down its mobile operations from last November. It was also not servicing the debt for many quarters before that as it was looking to recast the loans but did not materialise and since then many of its creditors had taken RCom to bankruptcy court.

New Delhi, May 18 (PTI): Reversing a two-day slide, gold prices climbed Rs 210 to Rs 31,990 per 10 grams at the bullion market Friday on pick up in buying by local jewellers despite a weak trend overseas. Silver also rebounded by Rs 120 to Rs 40,870 per kg on increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers. Traders said fresh buying by local jewellers to meet seasonal demand at domestic spot market led to the recovery in gold prices but a a weak trend overseas capped the gains. Globally, gold fell 0.12% to USD 1,288.70 an ounce in Singapore. Depreciating rupee against the dollar also fuelled the uptrend in gold, they said. In the national capital, gold of 99.9% and 99.5% purity went up by Rs 210 each to Rs 31,990 and Rs 31,840 per 10 grams, respectively.

This will enable Reliance Communications to exit the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) process,” an RCom spokesperson said in a statement. The spokesperson added that the company is confident to “expeditiously proceed with its monetisation plan with Reliance Jio and overall resolution plan with the lenders, keeping in mind the interests of all stakeholders”.

council, which can help the workers find jobs in newer places, the secretary said. The objective, Sundararajan explained, “is to see how people can be, if not retrained, how they can try and be redeployed gainfully”. Voice revenues constituted over 70 per cent of the revenues in the industry before the launch of RJio, which made calls free and concentrated on data for revenues. All the entrenched companies have been hit by the aggressive play by Reliance Jio, with the financials getting wrecked, which has an impact on the staffing. Some operators like Vodafone and Idea Celllular, the second and third biggest in the country, decided to merge in the face of the competition, many folded up or exited painful verticals, at least one went bankrupt, while many others have part-sold assets like spectrum holdings.

Mumbai, May 18 (PTI): Concerned at the job losses in the telecom sector, the government has begun helping the affected employees get alternative employment, and retrain and redeploy them, a top bureaucrat has said. Some estimates peg the number of job losses in the sector, which has been passing through choppy waters after the launch of the aggressive offerings by the deep-pocketed Reliance Jio, at over 90,000. “The efforts are on at three levels. First of all, we have to ensure that people at the lower levels, who are working at the retail outlets...we have to ensure that their futures are sustained,” telecom secretary Aruna Sundararajan told reporters on the sidelines of an event here late last evening. The first focus is to stabilise the sector, she said, adding that this work is being done primarily through the new telecom policy,

Israel’s Gaza response ‘wholly disproportionate,’ says Al Hussein

A wounded Palestinian is rushed to an ambulance at the border fence with Israel as mass demonstrations continue on May 14 in Gaza City, Gaza.

G e n e va , M ay 1 8 (IANS): UN rights chief Zeid Raad Al Hussein on Friday said that Israel used “wholly disproportionate” force against Palestinian border protests which left over 100 people dead. Al Hussein told a meeting in Geneva that Gazans were effectively “caged in a toxic slum” and Gaza’s occupation by Israel had to end, the BBC reported. He told the emergency session on Gaza that the “stark contrast in casualties on both sides was ... suggestive of a wholly disproportionate response” by

Israel. The UN meeting was considering calling for an independent investigation. Israel’s Ambassador said Gaza’s militant Islamist rulers had deliberately put people in harm’s way. Over 60 Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces on Monday in the seventh consecutive week of border protests, largely orchestrated by Hamas, which politically controls the Gaza Strip. They were also protesting the US embassy opening in Jerusalem. “An Israeli soldier was ‘reportedly wounded, slightly, by a stone’ on Mon-

day, Al Hussein said, while 43 Palestinians were killed at the site of the protests. Seventeen more Palestinians were killed away from what he called the “hot spots”. He said there had been “little evidence of any (Israeli) attempt to minimise casualties”. Israel’s actions might, he said, “constitute ‘wilful killings’ -- a grave breach of the Fourth Geneva Convention”, an international law designed to protect civilians under occupation. Al Hussein said he supported a call for an “in-

ternational, independent and impartial” investigation into the violence in Gaza, adding that “those responsible for violations must in the end be held accountable”. H owe ve r, I s r a e l ’s Ambassador Aviva Raz Shechter rejected the blame, saying Israel had done everything possible to avoid harming civilians. She said the UN Human Rights Council had returned to its “worst form of anti-Israel obsession”. “This special session, the resolution before you, and its call for a commission of inquiry are yet again politically motivated and won’t change the situation on the ground by even one iota,” Shechter said. Tens of thousands of Palestinians have held weekly protests at the border in the lead-up to the May 15 anniversary of the mass displacement of Palestinians amid the creation of Israel in 1948. While most Palestinians have demonstrated at a distance from the heavily guarded fence, Israel said its soldiers only used lethal force against people carrying out “terrorist activity and not on demonstrators”.

Assad meets Putin in Sochi on future peace talks Damascus, May 18 (IANS): Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has met his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, in Russia’s city of Sochi, saying it’s an opportunity for future peace talks, the Syrian presidential media office said. Assad said the meeting at the opening of the Sochi Summit is an “opportunity to put forward a mutual vision for the next stage for the peace talks either in Astana or Sochi.” According to the report, Putin has congratulated Assad on the “big achievements” made by the Syrian army in the war against terrorism. Putin said the mutual goal is the rebuilding of the Syrian economy and providing humanitarian help, noting that his administration is in contact with all concerned sides for the political “complicated process,” including the UN. For his side, Assad said that many positive changes have taken place as the terrorists’ arena in Syria has become much smaller and hundreds of thousands of Syrians have returned to their homes. “This stability is a wide door opened for the political process,” Assad told Putin, according to the report.

Ex-Malaysia PM to face graft probe

Najib Razak

KUALA LUMPUR, May 18 (Agencies): Ousted Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has been summoned by the anti-graft agency amid a probe into troubled state fund 1MDB, sources said on Friday, after police launched pre-dawn raids on premises linked to Najib and confiscated jewellery, luxury handbags and cash, Reuters reported. Po l i c e h ave b e e n searching Najib’s home and other places as part of an investigation into scandalplagued 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), an extraordinary turn of events that few would have predicted before his shock defeat in the May 9 general election. The embattled former premier is to meet Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers

on Tuesday. Three commission sources confirmed that a notice had been served on Najib to give his statement in relation to their probe on SRC International, a former unit of 1MDB. A member of a panel that reviewed the MACC’s files on 1MDB found that the commission had evidence that Najib received $10.5 million from SRC International. Najib’s lawyer declined to comment on the MACC summons. Najib has denied wrongdoing. The investigations started barely a week after Najib’s ruling coalition suffered a spectacular loss to an opposition bloc led by his former mentor, Mahathir Mohamad, 92, the first change of government since Malaysia gained independence from Britain in 1957.

Mahathir on Friday announced his cabinet of 15 senior ministers who will take their oath of office on Monday. Police seized 284 boxes of designer handbags and dozens of bags filled with cash and jewellery in the raid on a luxury condominium in the centre of Kuala Lumpur linked to Najib. Items such as Birkin handbags from Hermes, watches and other valuables were carted out of the condominium at the upmarket Pavilion Residences, police said. “Exactly how much jewellery, I would not be able to say, because we know that we confiscated bags containing jewellery and the number of jewellery is rather big,” Amar Singh, director of police commercial crime investigations, told reporters. Mahathir has barred Najib and his wife, Rosmah Mansor, from leaving the country. Mahathir says there is sufficient evidence to investigate the multi-billiondollar scandal at the 1MDB fund that Najib founded. Authorities in six countries, including the United States, are also investigating the fund. Najib’s lawyer on Thursday denounced the search of Najib’s home as “harassment”.

Britain may send more troops to Afghanistan Pak restores security of Mumbai attack mastermind Saeed L o n d o n , M ay 1 8 (IANS): The British government is considering sending more troops to Afghanistan, the media reported on Friday. The British military had written to Prime Minister Theresa May recommending the country boost its presence in Afghanistan, but no decision has been made yet, the BBC reported. According to the report, Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson recommended sending up to 400 more Army personnel into Afghanistan, joining the

600 already there training Afghan soldiers. The move followed calls by US President Donald Trump to the members of NATO to join him in sending more troops to the country. In 2017, the US announced a plan to send in 3,500 more troops, which brings the US total to about 15,000. It is part of a strategy to help fight the Taliban and deal with the rising threat from the Islamic State terror group. The last UK combat troops left Afghanistan in 2014 after being involved in

the conflict since 2001. General Sir Richard Barrons, a former commander of joint forces command who led campaigns in Afghanistan, said the UK “has to recognise that the decision to leave in 2014... hasn’t worked”. He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that the Army and Air Force in Afghanistan were “not strong enough” to defeat the Taliban alone. “The decision to increase troops would send an important message to our allies, and the Taliban”, he said.

Lahore, May 18 (PTI): The government of Pakistan’s Punjab province has restored the security of Mumbai attack mastermind and Jamaat-ud Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed citing threats to his life, almost a month after it was withdrawn on the order of the Supreme Court. “The policemen have been deployed again for the security of Hafiz Saeed on

the order of (chief minister) Shahbaz Sharif ’s Punjab government,” a senior official of the provincial government told PTI Friday. He said the decision was taken in the light of threats to the life of Saeed. As the government restored Saeed’s security, he has withdrawn a petition he had filed in the Lahore High Court to challenge the Punjab government’s earlier

decision to withdraw his security. The Punjab government last month had withdrawn policemen deployed for the security of Saeed after the Supreme Court directed inspector-generals of Islamabad and all four provinces to take back security escorts from people who are not entitled to it. The chief justice, however, later directed the top provincial police officials

to ensure the provision of security to all those who face genuine security threats. In the light of the Supreme Court order, the Punjab police have withdrawn as many as 4,610 personnel deployed for the security of influential persons not entitled to official security in the province. The founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba, who carries a USD 10 million American

bounty for his role in terror activities, accused the government of discrimination in his case. The JuD usually makes elaborate arrangements for the security of Saeed wherever he goes. Saeed is accused of masterminding the 2008 Mumbai terror attack in which 166 people were killed. JuD was declared as a foreign terrorist organisation by the US in June, 2014.

Mamata Banerjee

The Trinamool Congress also won 20 Zila Parishads by registering victory in 589 seats out of the total 622. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday night had congratulated party workers for the massive win and dedicated the victory to the people. She said many winning independent and BJP candidates had got in touch with her party to switch sides. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which managed to bag 5,747 seats in Gram Panchayats, 756 in Panchayat Samitis and 23 in Zila Parishads, gave a tough

fight to the Trinamool in the western districts of Purulia and Jhargram. Interestingly, independents bagged more seats than the Left Front candidates. The Panchayat Samiti was, however, won by ruling party strongman Arabul Islam, who was arrested a day before the election for his alleged involvement in the murder of a youth. After sporadic violence on Thursday, counting on Friday remained largely peaceful. Statistics reveal that of the total 58,692 seats in the three tiers, 20,076 seats, or 34.2 per cent, have been decided uncontested, with the Trinamool bagging a whopping proportion of these seats. These include 16,814 of the total 48,650 Gram Panchayats seats, 3,059 of the 9,217 Panchayat Samiti seats and 203 of the 825 Zila Parishad seats. The Supreme Court asked the SEC not to issue winning certificates in these seats.

Compensation for 14 killed in polls

The West Bengal government will give compensation of Rs 2 lakh to families of each of the 14 people killed in political violence during the Panchayat polls, Secretariat sources said quoting Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. The sources said Rs 5 lakh compensation will be given to the family of late Rajkumar Roy, a presiding officer during the May 14 polls. While Roy’s family has lodged a police complaint claiming he was killed and did not commit suicide, Banerjee on Thursday said the officer was run over by a train. The government would also provide a job to Roy’s widow, the sources said. Chief Minister had on Thursday said her government would provide compensation to the families of all those who were “martyred” during the polls. The chief minister has claimed that 10 of those killed belonged to her Trinamool Congress.

to the apex court after it was returned by the central government. But, as no decision could be taken on the elevation of other Judges to the apex court, the two-hour meeting had also deferred the decision to reiterate the elevation of Justice Joseph to the Supreme Court, the sources said. The collegium comprises Chief Justice Dipak Misra and four senior most Judges -- Justice J. Chelameswar, Justice Ranjan Gogoi, Justice Madan Lokur and Justice Kurian Joseph. Friday was the last working day for Justice Chelameswar since the court’s summer vacations start from May 19. He is set to retire on June 22.

Besides reiterating the elevation of Justice Joseph, the collegium had earlier recommended the elevation of Chief Justices of the High Courts in Rajasthan, Calcutta and Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. The collegium, during its May 11 meeting, had taken an “in-principle” decision to reiterate its recommendation for the elevation of Justice Joseph. The collegium reiterated its January 10 recommendation, after the Centre on April 26 returned it for reconsideration. Besides Justice Joseph, the collegium had on January 10 also recommended the appointment of Senior Counsel (now Judge) Indu Malhotra to the Supreme Court. While returning the name of Justice Joseph, the government cleared (now Justice) Malhotra’s appointment. The collegiums on January 10 said: “The collegium considers that at present Justice K.M. Joseph is more deserving and suitable in all respects than other Chief Justices and senior puisne Judges of the High Courts for being appointed as Judges of the Supreme Court.”

Hyderabad, MAY18 (AGENCIES): A midnight diktat from the party’s All India Congress Committee (AICC) central leadership, to arrange on a war footing accommodation for the newly elected party legislators of Karnataka, put the managerial skills of the top functionaries of the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) to ultimate test. With clear instructions that the entire exercise should be a closely guarded affair, the TPCC leaders, led by president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy, had to liter-

ally get their act together to accomplish the biggest task of their careers. Top sources in the TPCC said a call from the AICC around midnight asking Mr. Reddy to be ready to host over 100 MLAs for a couple of days literally caught them off guard. “We are planning to bring the MLAs to Hyderabad, be prepared to make all arrangements without any difficulty,” is what the AICC told the TPCC leaders.

to do what the Karnataka Governor has done recently and invite the Congress as the single largest party to form the government in Goa. This current government has to be dismissed,” said Kavlekar. He asserted that the Congress in Goa was capable of forming a government and prove its majority in the 40-member Assembly, if it was invited to do so by Sinha. “She has told us that she will respond to our letter in two days,” Kavlekar said. The BJP won 13 seats in the February 2017 elections, against 17 bagged by the Congress. The BJP staked its claim to power with two regional outfits and independent MLAs, and formed a coalition government after getting a prompt nod from Sinha. Subsequently, Cong ress MLA Vishwajit Rane quit the party after he remained absent on the floor of the House defying the party whip when Parrikar took a vote of confidence and joined the BJP to become a Minister, taking the BJP’s strength to 14.

RBI slaps Rs 5 cr fine on South Indian Bank

New Delhi, May 18 (IANS): The Congress moved the Supreme Court on Friday challenging the appointment of BJP legislator K.G. Bopaiah as Pro-Term Speaker of the Karnataka Assembly. Bopaiah will be presiding over the floor test on Saturday to ascertain whether newly-appointed Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa enjoys a majority support in the Assembly or not. A team of Congress leaders arrived at the Supreme Court on Friday evening to file the petition. Once the plea is accepted by the Registry, they will approach the registrar (vacation) for an early hearing late on Friday. The Congress has contended that Bopaiah is not the senior-most member of the newly-elected House and as per the Parliamentary convention, it is only the senior-most member in terms of number of times he has been elected to the Assembly who can be a Pro-Term Speaker. Earlier in the day, the party said Bopaiah’s appointment was made “with the sole intent of manufacturing a majority out of minority for Yeddyurappa”.

Pana j i , M ay 1 8 (AGENCIES): Goa Congress leaders, including leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly Chandrakant Kavlekar, and party MLAs on Friday called on Governor Mridula Sinha and urged her to follow the immediate precedent set by Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala and invite the Congress in Goa, as the largest party to form government. The Goa Congress Legislative Party (CLP) has 16 MLAs in the Assembly. Kavlekar was accompanied by 13 MLAs as two MLAs are not in the state and one MLA is in hospital at the moment, said party spokesperson Siddnath Buyao. Coming out of the meeting with the Governor at Raj Bhavan, Kavlekar told presspersons that a representation had been submitted to the Governor, requesting her to “right the past wrong” of inviting the BJP to form the government in Goa in March 2017, and now invite the 16-member Congress party to form the government instead. “We have asked her

CJI bench which sits till 4 PM but the list was truncated on Friday and only transfer petitions in matrimonial disputes were on the board and the bench decided the cases within half-an-hour. The CJI, who is the mater of roster, perhaps not assigned sensitive cases to ensure that difference of opinion between him and Justice Chelameswar does not crop up during the hearing. Although it is also a convention that the president SC bar association to be present in court to bid farewell to a retiring judge, the office bearer of association was conspicuously absent and that task was performed by advocate Prashant Bhushan and Rajiv Dutta. Justice Chelameswar had earlier refused to participate in farewell function organised by the Bar in

SC premises. Praising Justice Chelameswar, Bhushan said that future generations would remember him for his role in upholding the rule of law and protecting the judiciary. Echoing Bhushan’s sentiments, Dutta said that the judge had been instrumental in upholding some of the most cherished principles and the bar would be always grateful to him. With CJI smiling by his side, Justice Chelameswar said with folded hands “This can be my only response” and left the courtroom with CJI, with whom he had jointly entered SC premises as judge with both of them were elevated on the same day on October 11, 2011. Although Justice Chelameswar had delivered many landmark verdicts, including his dissent judgement in NJAC case for favouring scrapping of collegium system, he, however, will go down in the history as a judge who dared to revolt against CJI. Paying tributes to Justice Chelameswar, senior advocate Shanti Bhushan and Dushyant Dave had earlier said that he was one of the greatest judges produced by SC and equated him with legendary Justice H R Khanna.

NEW DELHI, MAY 18 (AGENCIES): After fighting bitterly for over more than six months during which they refrained from coming together in public, Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justice J Chelameswar finally shared dais in court on the last working day of the senior most judge and were seen in agreement at least while deciding 11 cases listed before them. As per the convention, a Supreme Court judge sits with Chief Justice on his last working day but speculation was rife that Justice Chelameswar may not share the bench with CJI due to bitter relationship, which became public when the senior most judge, along with three other senior judges, revolted against Justice Misra in January and accused the CJI for allocating sensitive cases to bench of his preferences. The controversial press conference by the four judges had sparked the debate on CJI’s impeachment. Simmering tension between them continued since then and Justice Chelameswar made no bones about his displeasure on the conduct of CJI while raising question some of his administrative and judicial decision.

Brazil arrests 251 in crackdown on child pornography

Donald Trump threatens Kim Jong-un with ‘decimation’

Brasilia, May 18 (IANS): In just one day, the Brazilian authorities went after 579 people on warrants for crimes of child pornography and sexual exploitation of minors. The massive raid, the largest ever in Brazil, led to the arrest of 251 people on Thursday in the second phase of a nationwide Federal Police operation, Xinhua news agency reported. The Operation Childhood Light which was first launched in October 2017, might see a furher rise in the number of arrests, as not even half of the 579 arrest warrants had been executed by the end of the day. According to the police, the operation took place in 24 states and the capital city Brasilia. A total of 2,600 officers joined the operation. Most arrests were made in Sao Paulo and Rio areas. The main target of the operation was arrested. He was in possession of 780,000 files containing child pornography. In 2017, 112 people were arrested.

Washington, May 18 (IANS): US President Donald Trump has threatened North Korean leader Kim Jong-un with “decimation,� unless he agrees to denuclearise the Korean peninsula. With the June 12 USNorth Korea summit at stake, Trump on Thursday gave Kim two options -- reach an agreement to denuclearize and remain in power or suffer the fate of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, who was overthrown and murdered by rebels who were supported by a NATO bombing campaign in 2011, Efe news reported. “If you look at that model with Gaddafi, that was a total decimation. We went in there to beat him. Now that model would take place if we don’t make a deal, most likely,� Trump told reporters prior to his meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the White House. “But if we make a deal, I think Kim Jongun is going to be very, very happy,� the president added.

China’s first home-built aircraft carrier completes maiden sea trial Beijing, May 18 (PTI): China’s first indigenouslybuilt aircraft carrier Friday successfully completed its maiden sea trial and returned to its home port in Dalian, a major step in the country’s quest to modernise its military and bolster its naval presence in the disputed South China sea and in the Indian Ocean. China currently has two aircraft carriers. The first aircraft carrier named Liaoning, which was launched in 2012, was a refit of the former Soviet vessel bought from Ukraine. The People’s Liberation Army Navy said that the aircraft carrier, built at the Dalian Shipbuilding Industry, underwent a fiveday sea trial starting from May 13. Its sea trial tested multiple facilities and attained the anticipated objectives, state-run China Daily reported. The completely home-grown aircraft carrier, named Type 001A for now, weighs 50,000 metric tonnes. Earlier, the Chinese Navy said the sea trial aimed to demonstrate the reliability

and capability of the ship’s propulsion systems. Though Liaoning became operational in 2012, it is being mostly used for research and improvements for the new aircraft carriers China plans to build. China is already building its third aircraft carrier in Shanghai. According to reports, plans are afoot to build a nuclear aircraft carrier.

China reportedly plans to have four aircraft carriers by 2030 to operate from the disputed South China Sea as well as the Indian Ocean. The aircraft carriers are being built at feverish pace by China as it enhanced the role of its navy to increase its global influence. With the advent of carriers, China’s power projection is expected grow in the disputed South China Sea

Trudeau positive on reaching new NAFTA deal with US, Mexico New York, May 18 (IANS): Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has expressed his confidence that Canada, the US and Mexico could reach a new North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Speaking at an event organised by the Economic Club of New York, Trudeau on Thursday said the three countries are close to strike a renegotiated NAFTA and there is “a good deal on the table� right now, Xinhua news agency reported. “I’m confident in saying that we have found a proposal that is broadly acceptable to the three partners and our industries on the auto side of things,� he said. Trudeau said the three

Justin Trudeau

countries have not signed off on a new agreement because of one significant sticking point: the Americans’ demand for a sunset clause that would allow the deal to automatically expire every five years, pending renewal. “We don’t feel a deal

with a sunset clause is much of a deal at all,� Trudeau said. The Prime Minister explained Canada’s opposition in real estate terms. “To put it in a frame that maybe someone who ... did a lot of real estate deals might understand,� he said. “If you agree to build a building on a particular parcel of land, but only hold the lease for five years, and after five years you actually lose the lease, you might not be interested in investing in the building that’s going on that land.� “We remain confident that we can achieve an agreement that is a winwin-win,� said Trudeau at a press conference after his luncheon Q&A.

It has acquired the Hambantota Port in Sri Lanka through a debt swap deal for a 99-year lease and is building a strategic port at Pakistan’s Gwadar in the Arabian Sea.

France foils new attack Paris, May 18 (IANS): A new attack has been foiled in France and two brothers of Egyptian origin, suspected of committing the attack, have been arrested, French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said on Friday. “There were two young people of Egyptian origin who were preparing to carry out an attack, with either explosives or ricin, which is a very strong poison. They had tutorials that showed how to make poisons from ricin,� said. “We follow a certain number of people on social media, in this case it was on Telegram. We were able to detect this project of attack and we were able to stop them�, he said. The announcement came the day after the arrest of a close friend of Khamzat Azimov, who committed the knife attack on May 12 in Paris.

Donald Trump

Trump, however, said that the United States is not using “the Libyan model� in its negotiations with North Korea, distancing himself from National Security Adviser John Bolton, who had explicitly mentioned “the Libya model of 2003-2004� as a basis for talks with Pyongyang. In 2003, Muammar Gaddafi agreed to eliminate his country’s weapons of mass destruction in exchange for US economic incentives, although the agreement purportedly did not give Gaddafi any security guarantees. By “Libyan model,� Trump seemed to be refer-

ring to the 2011 NATO bombing campaign against the Libyan government, which helped rebels overthrow Gaddafi, who was soon brutally murdered by these groups. “The Libyan model isn’t the model we have at all when we are thinking of North Korea. In Libya, we decimated that country ... There was no deal to keep Gaddafi,� Trump said. “This with Kim Jongun would be something where he would be there. He would be running his country. His country would be very rich,� the president added. Trump said that if Kim Jong-un agreed to denuclearize, “he’ll get protections that would be very strong,� referring to guarantees for Kim to remain in power. Trump also downplayed Pyongyang’s threats to pull out of the US-North Korea summit planned for June 12 in Singapore, saying “North Korea’s actually talking to us about times and everything else as though nothing happened.�

8 killed in Texas school shooting; gunman arrested H o u s to n, M ay 1 8 (PTI): A gunman opened fire at a high school in the US state of Texas Friday, killing at least eight persons. The incident took place at Santa Fe High School in the city of the same name, located about 50 kilometres southeast of Houston. An unidentified law enforcement officer was shot, but sources said he was “clipped� and was not seriously injured. At least eight persons were killed in the gunfire, Houston Chronicle

quoted federal and county law enforcement officials have confirmed. One source said the gunman was a male, but could provide no further information. The shooter has been “arrested and secured,� said Santa Fe HS Assistant Principal Cris Richardson. Several other students as well as an officer was injured in the shooting. This is the third school shooting in the past seven days, and the 22nd since the beginning of the year in the

US. Junior Liberty Wheeler, 14, was in class when she heard five shots ring out near the art room. Her teacher told them to run toward the theatre department’s storage room, where they hid for 45 minutes before being escorted outside by the SWAT team. “You could small the gunpowder that came from the gun,� Wheeler recalled as she was escorted out of the building. “We were all scared because it was near us.� The University

of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston is treating two patients, their conditions not yet being disclosed, said spokesman Raul Reyes. He said more patients are expected, including one currently being transported from the branch’s League City hospital. He said a helicopter with at least one patient is on the way and more ambulances are expected. President Donald Trump expressed concern over the incident.

Dave Grohl tells the story of how he New BMFV song ‘Letting You Go’ ‘Deadpool 2’ fan sparks got his revenge after being dumped W police alert at movie screening D ‘D eadpool 2’ fan sparks police alert after turning up to screening in full costume A pair of Deadpool fans were arrested at gun point in southern Switzerland this week after one of the pair sparked a police alert by turning up to a screening of Deadpool 2 in full costume. The sequel to the Ryan Reynolds-starring 2016 film, based on the Marvel character of the same name, is out in the UK today, and hit US cinemas on May 18. One fan in the Swiss city of Lugano got more than he bargained for, however, when he turned up to a screening of Deadpool 2 in full costume as the titular character. According to local news website Tio, Alessandro Botto and his friend Christian both attended the screening in costume – although Botto opted to keep his costume underneath his regular clothes so he could change once they arrived at

the cinema. However, as Botto explained, Christian decided to turn up to the cinema in full costume – and therefore broke local laws, which prohibit hiding one’s face in public. “Neither of us feared it could be a problem,” Botto told reporters. However, both Christian and Botto were arrested at gun point by police and spent an hour at a police station Officers later became satisfied that there had been a misunderstanding, and both of the men were released without charge – although Christian apparently

had to pay a fine for breaking the law about face coverings in public. “I must say that after the initial tension, even the police understood very well what we were doing,” Botto added. “The agents had a good laugh. However, my friend will still have to pay a fine. The law provides for it.” Local police explained that they had been on the look-out following reports that a suspect had been spotted in the area with two guns – although this turned out to just be a description of Christian’s Deadpool costume. (NME)

ave Grohl has revealed how he got his own back on an ex-girlfriend after being dumped. In a recent interview with GQ, the Foo Fighters frontman told the story of having his heart broken by his childhood sweetheart Sandy, who broke up with him after four days when he was eleven. “When I was 11 or 12, I fell for this new girl in my school, Sandy Moran …” he says. “Eventually, we got it together. I asked her out, she said yes and we were going steady. It was for like four days or something – ridiculous.” Sandy then dumped Grohl, and he wasn’t happy about it. “The very same night I had this dream. I was in an arena full of people and I’m at the front, shredding some guitar lead, the audience is going nuts, totally loving it,” he explains. “Then at the front down, I look down and there she is, Sandy, right in the front row. Crying her eyes out. She looks up to me and mouths, ‘Dave, why did I break up with you?’”

It turns out that years later, Sandy actually did come to a Foo Fighters show, though no tears were shed. “We played a show in Washington, D.C, a couple years back. It was like a school reunion, about 400 of my old pals were there on the guest list,” he says. “I hear from someone that Sandy wants to come down … Sure as hell, I am on stage in my hometown, same as the dream I had 35 years ago, ripping a guitar lead and I look out into the crowd and there she is, front row. “Sandy f------ Moran,” the frontman adds. “She’s not crying this time though, she’s just looking at me, shaking her head like, ‘You a------.’” (NME)

elsh metallers Bullet For My Valentine have released a new single, “Letting You Go”.

The follow-up to 2015’s “Venom” marks Bullet For My Valentine’s full-length recording debut with new drummer Jason Bowld (Pitchshifter, Axewound), who has been touring with the group for the past two years, and bassist Jamie Mathias (formerly of Revoker), who joined the band after the last disc was completed. “Over the last 12 months, I’ve been thinking about the word ‘contemporary’ a lot,” singer/ guitarist Matt Tuck says. “And I feel this is a con-

temporary record. It’s not an old-school, hearton-your-sleeve influences thing. We’ve done that so let’s move forward and make the band more interesting. We don’t want to alienate anyone… but we don’t want to write the same s--- anymore. Metalheads will enjoy this. I actually feel the softer electronic par ts make the heavy moments even more crushing. It’s about engaging the listener and taking them on a journey, messing with their heads

a bit…” The three years since “Venom” haven’t been easy for BFMV’s commander-in-chief. But instead of falling deeper down a tunnel of selfdespair, he channelled his life experiences into art like never before. It would be one of the most introspective and revelatory processes of his life — by his own admission, a personal and creative evolution that simply needed to happen… (Blabbermouth)

Georgia seeks to put itself on movie map Camila Cabello & Pharrell Williams team up on ‘Sangria Wine’ in Georgia in 2014. One of the most recent films to have been shot there is How to Sell a War, starring Katherine Parkinson and Lily Newmark. Directed by Rudolph Herzog, it’s a comedy about fake news, where a PR consultant (Parkinson) has to invent a war so that a global charity concert can go ahead.

Other prominent filmmakers have also been attracted by exotic locales in the country, as well as the government’s incentives. While the country still lags behind Croatia and other Eastern European film locations, its proximity to major EU cities, comparatively low prices, and bounty of filming locations are drawing directors from around the world. For instance, Michel Hazanavicius, director of the Oscar-winning The Artist, opted to film in Georgia when shooting The Search in 2014. In addition to Western film makers, several Bollywood films and music videos have been shot in Georgia in recent years. Prominent Iranian director Mohsen Makhmalbaf shot an entire feature film

amila Cabello and Pharrell Williams have teamed up for new track ‘Sangria Wine’, and it’s a slow-burning slice of summery pop. The sultry jam is heavily influenced by Latino rhythms, and features an extended section that sees Cabello rapping in Spanish. It’s also anchored by a chorus that sees both Cabello and Williams’ vocals

coming together to belt out the title phrase. Although the pair debuted the track in Vancouver last month, it’s the first time that they’ve officially released it. Meanwhile, Cabello’s

‘Never Be The Same’ received an unlikely cover from Wolf Alice earlier this week, after the Indie titans covered it during an appearance on BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge. Cabello is also cur-

rently supporting Taylor Swift on her ‘Reputation’ stadium tour, and joined forces with Swift and fellow support Charli XCX to perform ‘Shake It Off ’ on the tour’s opening night. (NME)

nce famous as a powerhouse of Soviet films, the Black Sea country of Georgia is working hard to promote itself in the lucrative world of international film locations. Girls of the Sun (Les Filles du Soleil) by Eva Husson, a French drama about female fighters in Kurdistan, is in competition at the 2018 Cannes Festival and is helping elevate Georgia’s reputation as an up-and-coming film destination. The Black Sea country, famed for its mountains and beaches, has been actively courting foreign film makers to use Georgia as a backdrop in movies and commercials. Girls of the Sun may be the highest profile film made in Georgia to date.

Filming for the IrishGeorgian co-production has been taking place in Georgia in April and May. How to Sell a War producer Sam Taylor, who has now worked on four films partly or completely filmed in Georgia, says that, initially, filming in Georgia was a pragmatic move. (BBC)

Payet left out of France WC squad

PARIS, May 18 (Agencies): Marseille star Dimitri Payet was left out of France’s World Cup squad announced by coach Didier Deschamps on Thursday, completing a miserable 24 hours for the playmaker. The former West Ham United player was forced off with a hamstring injury in the first half of Marseille’s Europa League final defeat against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, and that fitness doubt persuaded Deschamps to leave him out of the squad of 23. “Dimitri Payet was a serious candidate for a place in the squad. He played the first half-hour (against Atletico), but he aggravated his injury, and the recovery time needed for that type of injury is three weeks,” Deschamps said after revealing his squad live on television station TF1’s evening news programme. “But as it is a muscle

Pietersen selected to deliver Pataudi lecture

NEW DELHI, May 18 (Agencies): The friction between the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) and the BCCI office-bearers has come to the fore again. This time it’s over Kevin Pietersen being selected to deliver the MAK Pataudi lecture after Kumar Sangakkara was unavailable. In a letter to the CoA and BCCI officials, acting secretary Amitabh Choudhary has alleged that the three office-bearers were kept in the dark while selecting a foreigner to deliver the speech.

“When the matter was discussed with me at Bangalore a couple of days ago (May 8), I had suggested we also look for probable speakers amongst distinguished cricketers of yesteryears such as Nari Contractor, Chandu Borde, Erapalli Prasanna and Abbas Ali Baig. These cricketers have even the distinction of having played alongside Tiger Pataudi and if any of them agrees it could provide the much needed perspective on how cricket has evolved from those years of challenge,” the letter said. Amitabh added in the letter: “Un-

fortunately, when the proposal came there was no mention of any of these past cricketers. As I understand Tiger Memorial Lecture is not an elocution contest and reasonable communication skills are all that we should look for. It is meant to bring to the fore the evolution of the game, what it meant to play for the country in the old days, the hardships of the time, challenges of the future and the like. If that be the case, certainly once every few years an iconic cricketer of yore should find a place as the keynote speaker in the Memorial Lecture.”

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Pep Guardiola pens the new contract alongside Ferran Soriano (L) and Txiki Begiristain (R)

L O N D O N, M ay 1 8 (Agencies): Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola signed a contract extension with the Premier League champions on Thursday that will keep him in the job until 2021. Spaniard Guardiola joined City in 2016 on a three-year contract and led them to the Premier League title this year, 19 points ahead of second-placed Manchester United. City became the first top-flight club to collect 100 points in a season and broke records for goals scored in a Premier League campaign (106), the most victories and best goal difference. “We are delighted to announce the extension of Pep’s contract through to 2021,” club chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said

in a statement on City’s website. “In his two seasons with us, he has fostered an incredible spirit within the squad and significantly contributed to our progress both on and off the field. In doing so he has embodied the passion and commitment we all have for the club.” If Guardiola sees out the deal, it will represent his longest spell in charge of one club. The 47-yearold managed Barcelona from 2008-12 and spent three years in charge of Germany’s Bayern Munich before joining City. “I am so happy and excited. It’s a pleasure to be able to work here,” said Guardiola, who was named Manager of the Year by League Managers Association on Tuesday.

Ronaldo fit for CL final, says Zidane M A D R I D, M ay 1 8 (Agencies): Zinedine Zidane has declared Cristiano Ronaldo “120 percent” fit ahead of the Champions League final and says Real Madrid’s star player is available to face Villarreal in La Liga on Saturday. Ronaldo sprained his ankle against Barcelona earlier this month, prompting fears the Portugese might not make the clash against Liverpool on May 26. But Zidane insisted Ronaldo would be “150 percent” fit for the game in Kiev and he delivered another positive update on Friday. “Maybe right now he is 120 percent,” Zidane said with a smile. “He is fine. If Cristiano is 120 percent that’s fine with me.” Ronaldo has trained with the first team squad as normal this week and could be given the chance to hone his sharpness against Villarreal, in Real’s final league game of the season. Real can still snatch second place from Atletico Madrid if they win and Atletico lose at home to Eibar on Sunday but Zidane’s players will be keener to make their case for a starting spot against Liverpool.

Rome, May 18 (Agencies): Rafael Nadal continued his surge towards an eighth Rome Masters title as he battled back to silence Fabio Fognini and the partisan home crowd to reach the semi-finals. Nadal dropped the opening set before recovering to canter to a 4-6 6-1 6-2 victory and move through to the final four in the Italian capital for the 10th time and his first since 2014. “He played well. I

made a couple of mistakes in the first set, but he played so quick and was going for the shots without missing much. He put me under pressure and I made some mistakes,” said Nadal. “I should not lose two serves in a row but it happened. The only thing I can do when this happens is accept it and keep working for the next set. It was great. A full crowd, a great atmosphere. I enjoyed [it]. It was a great day to play

ICC to discuss removing Test coin toss D u b a i , M ay 1 8 (Agencies): Removing the coin toss from Test Championship matches will be one of the issues up for discussion at an ICC cricket committee meeting later this month. The meeting in Mumbai on May 28 and 29, which has 12 items on the agenda, could see an official proposal put forward to ICC chief executives, most likely to be rubberstamped at their annual general meeting in Dublin in June. Briefing notes revealed significant concerns

at the level of home advantage in Test cricket. Any move to remove the toss, which would reportedly see the away team simply given the choice to bat or bowl first, would not quite follow the change made in County Championship games two summers ago, where visiting teams are given the chance

to bowl first or opt for a traditional toss. The ICC briefing note read, “There is serious concern about the current level of home team interference in Test pitch preparation.” “More than one committee member believes that the toss should be automatically awarded to the visiting team in each match - although there are some others on the committee who do not share that view.” Former India spinner Anil Kumble heads up the ICC cricket committee.

The men will be visiting the Mayo County in Ireland for a training camp from May 20 to 27. The camp will be organised by the Irish Athletic Boxing Association (IABA). The group of 1012 members will comprise of No. 1 and No. 2 boxers in each weight category,” a BFI official informed. “The women’s team will travel to Assisi in Italy. The training camp will be organised from May 19 to June 4 and leading boxers like Mary Kom and Sarita Devi will be part of the group. This camp is also important since India will be hosting the women’s World Championships in November. After these camps, both the men and women teams will travel to Russia and Kazakhstan,” the official added. It has been learnt that Vikas Krishan, Manoj Kumar, Satish Kumar and Shiva Thapa will straightaway participate in Russia and Kazakhstan tournaments.

SWANSEA, May 18 (Agencies): Manager Carlos Carvalhal left Swansea after the English Premier League club decided not to renew his contract on Friday. Swansea was relegated last Sunday after seven years in the topflight. Carvalhal succeeded Paul Clement in December, three days after leaving Sheffield Wednesday. Carvalhal won five of his first nine league games as Swansea climbed to 13th place, but they were relegated after picking up only three points from the last 27 on offer. They finished 18th, confirmed after losing to Stoke 2-1 at home. “The Swans will start the search for a new boss after opting to make a change following their relegation from the Premier League,” the club said on its website.

tennis and a good match.” The top-seeded Spaniard appeared to take a firm stranglehold on the opening set as the Italian’s dropshot tactics failed to trouble his opponent early on. Nadal opened up a 4-1 lead before Fognini was spurred on by the home crowd to make a breakthrough of his own in the seventh game to bring it back on serve before winning a fifth game in a row to win the set and send the

crowd into raptures. Nadal has already won his 11th titles in Monte Carlo and Barcelona during the current clay-court season, but has lost in the quarter-finals in each of the last three years in Italy. The 31-year-old Nadal came out the aggressor in the second set and in a replica of the first set he once again opened up a 4-1 lead, which he was determined not to relinquish this time. A further break in the sixth game before a successful quick-fire service game enabled him to restore parity in 33 minutes. Nadal took advantage of a fatigued Fognini to rally with 12-straight points to lead 3-1. Fognini, the world No 21, was doing everything he could to keep the final set competitive. He kept the scoreboard to one break before calling for his trainer to get his knee strapped up. The Italian hit one too many unforced errors thereafter as Nadal motored into a 5-2 lead before successfully serving out the contest in two hours and 14 minutes.
