Fuel prices hike: Chambers tell govt to cut excise duties NEW DELHI, MAY 21 (IANS): With fuel prices touching an all-time high, industry chambers, Ficci and Assocham, on Monday called for the government to urgently reduce fuel excise duties. It also urged the government to bring automobile fuels under the purview of Goods and Services Tax (GST). “At a time when the Indian economy is on a recovery path, rising oil prices are again posing a high risk to India’s economic growth trajectory,” a Ficci statement said here. “While cut in excise duty on petrol and diesel may provide temporary relief, the sustainable solution lies in the automobile fuel coming under GST, which can happen only after the Centre and states together reduce their dependence on the fuel considerably,” said D.S Rawat, Assocham secretary general.

Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016, thousands of student activists on Monday staged demonstrations across the state capitals-- Kohima (Nagaland), Shillong (Meghalaya), Agartala (Tripura) Itanagar (Arunachal Pradesh) and Aizawl (Mizoram) led by the respective apex bodies under the aegis

of North East Students’ Organisation (NESO). The students’ unions are demanding the immediate scrapping of the proposed legislation by the Central government. In Nagaland, Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) volunteers staged a dharna at Raj Bhavan. Speaking on

the occasion, NSF general secretary Imtiyapang Imsong said that the move to provide citizenship to immigrants who had migrated to India due to religious persecution was not justified as there was no record of any such case in countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

Claiming that the Northeast already has a huge population of illegal immigrants, Imtiyapang asserted that region cannot be a dumping ground for the illegal immigrants. Meanwhile, NSF also submitted a memorandum to JPC chairman and MP, Rajendra Agarwal through Governor PB Acharya. The memorandum signed by its president Kesosul Christopher Ltu and general secretary Imsong appealed to the chairman and members of JPC to ensure that the proposed Bill is recommended as “anti-national and detrimental” to the very existence of good citizens of the country. NSF alleged that the Bill will make a mockery of the spirit of secularism enshrined in Preamble of the Indian constitution, besides violating Article 14 of the constitution that guarantees citizens right to equality. NSF informed that a delegation will be travelling to New Delhi along with leaders of NESO and other organisations to take up the matter with the Centre. Meghalaya: NESO members along with the Khasi Student’s Union

(KSU) jointly staged the protest in Shillong. During the protest campaign, members of NESO and KSU burnt the effigy of the amendment bill. Speaking to media persons, KSU president Lambokstar Marngar demanded that the State government should passed resolution in order to send a clear message to the Centre that it strongly opposed the amendment bill. “We would be forced to agitate if the Government failed to passed the resolution to register their strong opposition to the amendment bill brought by the BJP government,” the KSU president said. NESO chairman Samuel Jyrwa said “Meghalaya has been badly affected due to the unabated inflow of influx from Bangladesh even without the amendment bill.” Itanagar: Members of the All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU) said they would continue the stir till the time the government concedes to their demands. “The proposed bill is one among the many examples that show the lawmakers in our country have no or very little regard for the indigenous populace of Arunachal Pradesh

and the entire northeast region,” AAPSU president Hawa Bagang said. “We will soon serve notices to all the Bangladeshis, who have sneaked into our state, after the National Register of Citizens draft was released in Assam,” he added. Mizoram: Echoing similar sentiments, the Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP) urged the legislators of Mizoram to adopt a resolution to reject the Citizenship Amendment Bill, 2016. If the bill was passed by Parliament, it would mean that the lawmakers do not consider Mizoram an integral part of the country, MZP president L Ramdinliana Rent said while addressing the rally. Agartala: In Tripura, the Twipra Student’s Federation (TSF) also statged a protest demonstration despite the state government rejecting its application to hold a rally. Despite the rejection, TSF general secretary, Sunil Debbarma said the federation held the protest rally at a different venue. Assam: Activists of Brihatar Asomiya Yuva Manch shaved their heads as a mark of protest against the Bill, at Prasanti Udyan in Guwahati.

Will not undermine sentiments: Rijiju

With the NE states witnessing protests from different groups on the Citizenship Amendment Bill 2016, Union minister of state for home affairs, Kiren Rijiju stated that the government would not do anything which undermines the sentiments and identities of indigenous communities. Representatives of the North East Women Forum met the minister on Monday. “The interests and identities of indigenous people should not be undermined at any cost,” Rijiju said. “And the government of India will not take any decision which hampers indigenous people’s interests.” Various organizations across the North Eastern states are opposing the bill. The bill for making minority communities such as Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan eligible for applying for Indian citizenship is under the consideration of the JPC of both the Houses. JPC recently visited Assam and Meghalaya.

State BJP reacts to Zeliang Gov calls upon SGHs to strengthen society Kumaraswamy meets Sonia, D I M A P U R , M AY 2 1 (NPN): State BJP on Monday clarified that the suspension of two of its leaders – former minister and State executive member Kheto Sema and State vice-president Tsasepi Sangtam – was withdrawn in February this year. The clarification follows former chief minister TR Zeliang asking NDPP through a statement as to why it did not try and influence BJP to withdraw the suspension of the latter’s two leaders. It may be mentioned that Sema and Sangtam, who were signatories to a joint statement issued by several organisations on January 29 this year calling for solution to Naga issue before Assembly election, were suspended by BJP on disciplinary grounds. A statement issued by media cell of the party explained that BJP, being a national party, had to abide by directives of its central

leaders and the two leaders were suspended accordingly due to a communication gap. However, with due consultation with the central leaders later, the suspension order was revoked in the “larger interest” of the party during the second week of February, which was widely published in the print media, it added. BJP further pointed out that the issue took place during the DAN regime, when BJP was an alliance partner under the chief ministership of T.R. Zeliang and not with the NDPP. Meanwhile, BJP said it was amused at learning that Zeliang was concerned about its internal matters when NPF faced a bigger predicament of its own like the Manipur unit differing from its parent body’s stance. BJP reminded Zeliang that the party was competent enough to take care of its internal issue as it has its high command to guide it.

Lok Sabha by-poll campaign: NPF-Cong share platform Demand for clarification on Ravi’s

Therie appeals to secular forces to close ranks NPF committed to work for Nagas: Shürho DIMAPUR, MAY 21 (NPN): Politics make strange bedfellows and that’s how NPF after severing decades of ties with NPF forged new ties with its sworn foe- Congress as confirmed when leaders of both parties shared the dias at the electioneering to the Lok Sabha bypolls. Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) chief K.Therie, who spoke at the rally at Pfutsero on Monday issued a clarion call to all secular forces in Nagaland to come together to prevent communal forces from taking roots in the state. Therie spoke at the joint platform with NPF candidate C Apok Jamir along with a host of other NPF leaders at Pfutsero in Phek district. In his speech, Therie explained the reasons why Congress decided to support the NPF candidate. He said the basic justification was about the concern against allowing communal forces from making inroads into the state. In this regard he said Congress has agreed in principle to support Apok Jamir for the Lok Sabha by-election. He also

Recalling that NPF was formed during the turmoil in Naga society in the early 1960s with top priority on solution to the Naga political issue, party president Dr Shürhozelie Liezietsu asserted that even today his party’s priority remained the same. Addressing the public rally at Jalukie on Monday as part of NPF’s Lok Sabha by-poll campaign, Dr. Liezietsu wondered how Nagas could so easily forget how and why NPF was formed on the Naga soil, even as he called upon them to clearly understand the difference between the stand of his party regarding Nagas and other political parties. Dr. Liezietsu said his party was in no mood to criticise any leader or party, but was committed to work only for the welfare of Nagas. Pointing out that chief minister Neiphiu Rio was only criticising NPF and its legislative party leader TR Zeliang during his by-poll (Cont’d on p-8) rallies, Dr. Liezietsu said a “true

expressed the hope that Apok will also live up to the expectations to uphold the principles of secularism and liberal democracy. Therie maintained that all secular minded parties need to come together to defeat the imposition of Hindutva in Nagaland leaving aside all political differences. Therie said “BJP is never a political party that belonged to the Nagas, but is here to confuse the mindset of youngsters with their Hindutva policies”. He also claimed that hundreds of Naga youths were being sponsored by RSS in their schools with some already made ministers. He said, “NDPP, which came into existence just recently has entered an unholy matrimony with BJP” adding the NDPP was not different from the saffron party. Therie emphasised that Congress is a party that “upholds secularism and democratic norms” and is strictly against the policies of communal forces of BJP like uniform civil code.

visionary leader” should instead focus more on developmental programmes for the people. He alleged that, during the past four years of NPF government under Zeliang, Rio, who was then Lok Sabha member, did not give a single day of rest to the government and created one problem after another, even trying to break up the government as well as the NPF. “But it was due to God’s blessing that none of his plans succeeded,” he asserted. Dr. Liezietsu also called upon the people to be watchful of the present PDA government that comprises of various political parties, including BJP “whose stand towards minorities and others is known by the whole country.” He also termed NPF candidate for ensuing Lok Sabha by-poll C Apok Jamir as the most capable and rightful candidate for the Naga people and urged them to vote in favour of his candidature.

NPP campaigns in Ampati

Conrad Sangma with his colleague and NPP members. Correspondent

Ampati (Meghalaya), May 21: Meghalaya Chief Minister and National President of National People’s Party (NPP), Conrad K. Sangma, on Monday said that the by-election to Ampati Constituency was important for the people, as this would recreate a roadmap for Ampati. Conrad was accompanied by Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong, C&RD Minister Sniawbhalang Dhar, Chief Advisor to the Chief Minister Thomas K. Sangma, CEM of Garo Hills Autonomous District Council Dipul Marak and a host of MLAs and other party functionaries from Nagaland. “People of Ampati constituency gave the mandate to Mukul Sangma but he did not respect the mandate and left Ampati for his political interests”, the NPP leader said addressing election rallies at Rongsang Abagre and Betasing. Terming as misinfor-

mation the Congress campaign assertion that post the by-election, Congress will form the Government, the Chief Minister said, “NPP candidate Clement G. Momin is the consensus candidate of the Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA). The Congress party has no other issue to raise so they are trying to lie and create confusion amongst the voters.” He ridiculed the Congress for their claims that former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Mukul Sangma had given NPP and its partners six months to run the Government. Conrad said, “NPP and its coalition partners will campaign in Ampati constituency for the next few days to demonstrate that Mukul and Congress party has nothing they can prove except create confusion.” He assured the rally gathering that NPP and its coalition will last the full term and emerge victorious in successive elections from

here onwards. “Congress does not have the numbers to form the Government. Whether they win or lose they have nothing to gain from this election. Mukul is trying to satisfy his ego by fielding his daughter Miami D. Shira,” Conrad stated. Urging the people to consciously vote for their chosen candidate, Conrad asked Mukul and the Congress party to respond as to what gave them a reason to believe that NPP and its coalition Government would not last. “Clement G. Momin is the consensus candidate of MDA and there should be no confusion to believe that this Government will not last. We are all united and we will be there for the people of Meghalaya for the next 25 years,” he added. Conrad said that Congress party believed in delivering welfare schemes based

on party affiliation, which was against the mandate of the people. He said that the activities of the Congress were unbecoming of leaders, which was a reason that the party was being reduced in successive elections. “There is no point in voting for Congress as they will sit in opposition”, he added. Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong called Mukul Sangma an ungrateful leader and sought the people’s support and choose the NPP candidate. “Ampati is a prestigious constituency, where Mukul Sangma started his political career but this leader of yours is ungrateful, as after winning both Ampati and Songsak he decided to leave Ampati. So friends give a befitting reply to him in the upcoming byelection,” Tynsong stated. “I and Sniawbhalang Dhar resigned from the Congress because of the infighting in the party right from Delhi to the State level committee,” he added. Top party functionaries from Nagaland, Manipur and Meghalaya are campaigning in different parts of Ampati constituency to garner support for the party candidate Clement G. Momin. Nagaland State President Ato Yeptomi and General Secretary Sashank Gataraj also spoke at length campaigning in favour of the leadership of Conrad K. Sangma and the NPP candidate.

IMPHAL, May 21: Former Manipur chief minister Okram Ibobi Singh Monday said that country’s democracy has been “rescued” while commenting on the recent political development in Karnataka. The former chief minister reacted after the resignation of BS Yeddyurappa before facing a trust vote in Karnataka Assembly, following which CongressJD(S) alliance has been invited to form the government in the state. Talking to reporters on the sidelines of AntiTerrorism Day to mark the 27th death anniversary of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in Imphal’s Congress Bhavan, Singh termed the recent political drama in Karnataka after Assembly elections as “very unfortunate for the country.” The former chief minister asserted that democracy was almost murdered in the country under the BJP rule. The intervention by Supreme Court has rescued democracy in the country, he added. He described the latest development in Karnataka as the victory of India’s democracy saying it was a defeat of BJP and all those undermining the democratic institutions. He claimed that de-

O Ibobi Singh (File) mocracy in the country was strengthened by the Congress party by defending it from BJP, and accused BJP “habit” of resorting unfair means and horse trading to form the government in some states including Manipur. Earlier, O Ibobi maintained that terrorism was against society and that it has no positive impact in any area. He called upon everyone to co-operate in eliminating terrorism and

fulfill the vision of the late Prime Minister and Congress leader. The opposition leader asserted that Congress party believed in peace and harmony and added that any differences can be resolved through dialogues. On the occasion, state Congress leaders and workers including MPCC president TN Haokip and former deputy CM Gaikhangam paid floral tributes to the portrait of late Rajiv Gandhi. Manipur government too observed the day with a state level function at 1st Manipur Rifles Banquet hall, Imphal. State agriculture minister V Hangkhanlian and education minister Th Radheshyam led the gathering in paying floral tributes to the former late Prime Minister.

First commercial flight in Arunachal Itanagar, May 21 (PTI): Arunachal Pradesh Monday found a place on the aviation map of the country as the state’s first commercial flight with Chief Minister Pema Khandu among 25 passengers on board, landed at Pasighat Advance Landing Ground in East Siang district. The 42-seater ATR aircraft of the Alliance Airlines touched down at Pasighat airport around 2.15 pm after 1.5-hour journey from the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi Airport in Guwahati. “Landed safely at Pasighat airport few minutes ago flying from Guwahati on Alliance Air. Proud to be part of this historic moment. I am extremely thankful to PM @narendramodi ji and @MoCA_GoI for connecting Arunachal with airways (sic),” the CM tweeted minutes after landing at the airport. He also shared pictures of the aircraft along with its crew on his Twitter handle. Addressing a gathering at Pasighat, Khandu said,

China calls mining report near Arunachal border ‘groundless’ Beijing, May 21 (IANS): China on Monday dismissed as “groundless” a report that it was mining gold on its side of the disputed border in Arunachal Pradesh. However, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said the area mentioned in the report by the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post was Chinese territory and Beijing was well within its rights to conduct scientific and geological survey. The report said that China began large-scale mining operations on its side of the disputed border with India in the Himalayas where a huge trove of gold,

silver and other precious minerals -- valued at nearly $60 billion by Chinese state geologists -- had been found. “The area mentioned in the report totally belongs to China’s territory. China conducts regular geological and scientific research on its territory,” said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang. “China always attaches great importance to protecting ecological environment. We hope the relevant media refrain from hyping up groundless reports,” he said. The report said the move was part of an ambitious

plan by Beijing to reclaim Arunachal Pradesh which it calls as “South Tibet”. “China’s move to lay claim to the region’s natural resources while rapidly building up infrastructure could turn it into ‘another South China Sea’,” the Post quoted people familiar with the development. Asked about this, Lu said: “China’s position on the Sino-India boundary is clear-cut. China never recognised the so-called Arunachal Pradesh... Beijing and New Delhi are engaging in negotiations to solve the boundary issue and seek a fair and justified solution.

Expressing hope that the new airport would also open avenues for economic development, the CM said if the decks were cleared for cargo aircraft in the near future, the indigenous products of the state could also be sold to other parts of the country. Khandu also said that another airport at Tezu in Lohit district will be made operational shortly. “Besides, Zoom Airlines is scheduled to introduce its services in the state soon,” he added. Arunachal Pradesh has about 120 helipads and 10 advanced landing grounds, built for defence as well as civil purposes.

Nagaland Post Vol. XXVIII NO. 164 Dimapur, TUESDAY, MAY 22, 2018

Easily spoken

oth the NDPP and the NPF have been going at each other’s throat literally, in the run up to the May 28 parliamentary by election, which is a follow up of the slamming match during the assembly election in February. To understand why both are becoming bitter rivals while claiming to be state regional parties; it will be appropriate to understand the genesis of their rivalry to the fact that both come from the same shoot. Both, while trying to proudly project their regional character, are also eager to forge some understanding with national parties. NPF came about after metamorphosing from several caterpillars and butterflies. That began as United Front then United Democratic Front (UDF) then Naga National Democratic Party (NDPP) then Naga People’s Council (NPC) then NPF. Events prior to the Assembly election in February led to parting of ways between Neiphiu Rio (who was among the founders of the NPF) with Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu and others. Rio ultimately joined the NDPP formed under his initiative and guidance. The issue that has come to the fore between the two is centred on alliance with BJP. NPF had alliance for several decades since 1977 with Janata Party -as part of anti- NNO/Congress (I) alliance at the national level and this was subsequently extended to BJP after the latter came to power. The NPF considered the BJP its “natural ally” in the words of its president Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu when there was a need to make such a statement. However, the issue arose after NPF virtually split when Dr. Shürhozelie, as chief minister was backstabbed by T.R. Zeliang and with the backing of Rio, forged an alliance within NPF factions to become chief minister. When the Governor sacked him (Dr. Shürhozelie) and installed T.R. Zeliang, the seed of distrust was sown. Later after both Dr. Shürhozelie and T.R. Zeliang again came together, Dr. Shürhozelie did not forget the “betrayal” and along with a significant section of his party legislators and party workers, heaped anger at BJP. All the while and even till today, T.R. Zeliang considered close with some national BJP leaders, does not appear to have any axe to grind against BJP. Instead, he has chosen to train his guns on Rio. The issue of BJP being communal or so has also brought the NPF closer in concurrence with the Congress, once its sworn enemy of several decades. From the NPF camp two issues are being raised against the NDPP. One by Dr. Shürhozelie for having alliance with BJP and allegedly giving in to the demands that were seen as total surrender and T.R. Zeliang blaming chief minister Neiphiu Rio for precipitating the byelection by resigning without completing his full term, a code which he (Rio) purportedly initiated as chief minister, that no MP should return to state politics before completing the full term. The verbal duel goes on but it is not certain if the voters are really impressed with the charges and counter-charges. There is a widespread disbelief in the system and loss of faith in those managing it especially the politicians. People know the facts and believe that the biggest problem is when the pot starts calling the kettle black and both not admitting what they are.

DailyDevotion Having God’s “Unreasonable” Faith Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. —Matthew 6:33 When we look at these words of Jesus, we immediately find them to be the most revolutionary that human ears have ever heard. “…seek first the kingdom of God….” Even the most spiritually-minded of us argue the exact opposite, saying, “But I must live; I must make a certain amount of money; I must be clothed; I must be fed.” The great concern of our lives is not the kingdom of God but how we are going to take care of ourselves to live. Jesus reversed the order by telling us to get the right relationship with God first, maintaining it as the primary concern of our lives, and never to place our concern on taking care of the other things of life. “…do not worry about your life…” (Matthew 6:25). Our Lord pointed out that from His standpoint it is absolutely unreasonable for us to be anxious, worrying about how we will live. Jesus did not say that the person who takes no thought for anything in his life is blessed— no, that person is a fool. But Jesus did teach that His disciple must make his relationship with God the dominating focus of his life, and to be cautiously carefree about everything else in comparison to that. In essence, Jesus was saying, “Don’t make food and drink the controlling factor of your life, but be focused absolutely on God.” Some people are careless about what they eat and drink, and they suffer for it; they are careless about what they wear, having no business looking the way they do; they are careless with their earthly matters, and God holds them responsible. Jesus is saying that the greatest concern of life is to place our relationship with God first, and everything else second. It is one of the most difficult, yet critical, disciplines of the Christian life to allow the Holy Spirit to bring us into absolute harmony with the teaching of Jesus in these verses.

Quotes

Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war. ~ Donald Trump

hen you buy German cars you have given your consent to them for all the monkeys and humans they have maimed and killed. It has now been discovered that German automakers funded studies that had humans and monkeys inhaling diesel fumes. Volkswagen, BMW and Daimler have been exposed in a report published by the New York Times, and various German papers, about a 2014 study carried out by the European Research Group on Environment and Health in the Transport Sector (EUGT)- a group owned by the car industries - with the aim of defending the use of diesel which had been classified in 2012 as carcinogenic. The animal experiments were done at the Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute (LRRI) in New Mexico, and the human ones in Aachen University Hospital, Germany, where the health effects of toxic “short-term nitrogen dioxide inhalation by healthy people” were studied. Nitrogen dioxide is a gas found in diesel fumes. The University Hospital has apologized saying that the experiments were done “to optimize safety for truck drivers, mechanics and welders.” Monkeys were put into airtight chambers and they

had to inhale the exhaust of the cars, for hours, till they died. German Environment Minister, Barbara Hendricks, said later, she was “horrified” by the news. Volkswagen has promised an inquiry into the scandal and has asked for “forgiveness for this bad behavior and for poor judgment.” BMW and Daimler, which owns Mercedes Benz, while agreeing that they commissioned the studies, claim they did not know animals had been used.” Daimler said it was “shocked by the extent of those studies and the way they were carried out.” Such an experiment was abhorrent and superfluous. “We are convinced that the scientific methods chosen at the time were wrong. Germany’s Green party has promised to take up this matter with the administration of Chancellor Angela Merkel. When tests on animals and people showed the opposite of what they wanted, these car industries put a software device to cheat pollution tests about their emissions. The Dutch are probably the only people not scandalized. Dutch researchers have been performing tests “for years” on humans and animals to study the effects of diesel fumes. The Dutch National Institute for Public Health (RIVM) “is involved in

Nagaland Post, Dimapur TUESDAY, MAY 22, 2018

Animal testing research in which volunteers are exposed to diluted emissions from a diesel engine” for hours and this includes people who are sick and those with heart problems. Dutch researcher Nicole Janssen told the Dutch daily NRC that between 2010 and 2015 a large research project into air pollution was carried out. “I myself have carried out tests for the RIVM. With mice, rats, and occasionally with people,” says toxicology professor, Paul Borm. Practically every industry has experimented with animals – even when it is not necessary. The sugar industry used a trade group called the Sugar Research Foundation in the 1960s, funded a research project on animals to disprove the allegation that there was a connection between sugar and heart health. Thousands of animals were fed only sugar and then dissected to see what the impact was on their hearts. But when the research

indicated that sugar might promote not only heart disease but also bladder cancer, the industry group ended the study and never published the results. So the animals suffered and died needlessly. The same sugar industry then employed scientists to prove that artificial sweeteners were carcinogenic, and these were banned on shaky evidence. Again hundreds of animals were killed. The tobacco industry did the same, making thousands of animals smoke cigarettes, or be exposed to cigarette fumes, in order to try and prove that cigarette smoking was not injurious to health. Industries that make a fool of people into buying what they do not need, or what is bad for their health, use animal suffering to manipulate science. The industry that uses animals the most is the cosmetic / beauty industry. And the biggest experimenters on animals are L’Oreal, Estee Lauder, Procter & Gamble,

Clorox, Johnson & Johnson, S.C.Johnson, ColgatePalmolive, Reckitt Benckiser, Church & Dwight, Unilever, and Dial/Henkel. What is even more frightening is that companies that experiment on animals buy small niche companies that don’t experiment on animals, and then use those as a cover to hide their own malevolence. For instance, The Body Shop is frequented by customers who want to make an anti – animal testing statement. But The Body Shop is owned by L’Oreal which has the worst ethics when it comes to animal testing, and is making no effort to change its policies. Tiny brands, like Burt’s Bees (owned by Clorox) and Tom’s of Maine (owner: Colgate-Palmolive), are touted as cruelty free. These are some of the face and hair brands that test on animals: Almay, Artistry (Amway), Avon, Bobbi Brown, Burberry, Calvin Klein, Chanel, Clinique, CoverGirl, Dior, Estee Lauder, Flirt, Givenchy, Guerlain, Helena Rubinstein, L’Oreal, Lancôme, MAC, Mary Kay, Max Factor, Maybelline, Rimmel, Revlon, Shiseido, Tom Ford, Yves Saint Laurent, Avene, Bain de Soleil, Bioderma, Biotherm, Bliss, Clarins, Clean & Clear, Clearasil, Garnier, Kiehl’s, L’Occitane, La

Mer, Mederma, Neutrogena, Nivea, Noxzema, Oriflame, Ponds, Vaseline, Vichy, Walgreens, Yves Rocher, Clairol, Fekkai, Head & Shoulders, Herbal Essences, Kerastase, Natural Instincts, Nexxus, Nice ‘n Easy, Pantene, Sunsilk, TRESemmé, Vidal Sasson, Dial, Dove, Ivory, Johnson’s, Lux, Wella. O n e w o u l d h av e thought that razors and hair remover companies would not need to experiment on animals, but these companies still slice and dice animals to see whether their razors are sharp enough: Bic Corporation, Braun, Gillette Co., Nair, Schiek, Veet. So do these brands: Band-Aid, Pampers, Savlon, Vaseline, Vicks. And so do these sanitary napkin companies. Which towel absorbs the most blood. Test on cutting an animal and then seeing the blood: Always, Carefree, Femfresh, Stayfree. These are only a few. None of them needs to test on animals, as none of the animal tests are reliable. In fact, statistics show that 90% of all animal tests are rejected. So why do companies test on animals? I will tell you next time. But first, why do you buy products that are tested on animals? Stop any that are on this list – including your next foreign luxury car .

Post-mortem

Simple, innocent humbuggery

nnocently and ignorantly, the Naga often engages in pure humbuggery. Someone wrote a Book on the Naga Club which contain the following– “In 1917 during the Ist World War between France and Germany about 4000 Nagas joined the Allied Force and won the battle. They earned good reputation and returned to Nagaland in 1918. They decided that all the Nagas should come together under one political umbrella. So they formed a Naga Elders Union”. “In the meantime there was a British Club at Dimapur. Naga Elders’ asked the British Club, so British Club was given to them. So they shifted this building to Kohima Chotobosty under present Mission compound and called Naga Club. From the Naga Club yard a Naga shawl was hoisted as a Naga Club Flag with prayer, witnesses by C.R Pawsey D.C, Rev. George Supplee Chaha and A. Kevichüsa was with Naga Club members.” “Just after prayer the hosting of the Flag, a Rainbow appeared over the Naga Club building. Therefore the Naga Club Flag was enshrined with Rainbow shape and colours”. The story contains irrelevant, inaccurate information, at best imaginary humbug, and falsehood at worst. The story above is embarrassingly not worth for Naga History. In order to allay inaccuracies and to strengthen facts about Naga Club, this writer essays into the public domain here. I have directly obtained from -living responsible 90+yr-elder Eyewitnesses, personally from late author of the letter Naga Club gave to the Simon Commission, including personally and directly from late son of the most important person of the Naga Hills Labor Corp- the information I am presenting here. Beautiful or ugly, historical account of a people has to be of facts and truths alone, nothing more nothing less. Firstly, the Labor Corp of Naga Hills in 1917 numbered only 2000, not 4000. The Princely State of Manipur and Lushai Hills also sent 2000 each. After that, the Raja of Manipur asked for additional 2000 more from the Villages and 10 Kuki Chiefs of Manipur complained against the Raja’s indent. This caused the 1917 Kuki rebellion of Manipur. The Elder generation, the generation of the labor Corp, never mentioned the labor corp. members on their return from Europe ever formed a ‘Naga Elders Union’ that morphed into ‘Naga Club’ afterwards. The author of the book claimed the British Club at Dimapur was given to Naga Club and shifted to Chotobosti Kohima. The Naga Club building at Chotobosti was not in existence when the gifted materials were taken up to Kohima in 1946. CR. Pawsey arrived in the Naga Hills only in 1929 and George W. Supplee only in 1922, so both of them could not have witnessed the imagined rainbow hued flag hoisting of the Naga shawl flag of the Club with prayer. (In honor of humanity, please do not ask me for the name of the Author of the book). Such humbug bits of information creates wrong impression in a credulous population Nagaland abounds, and is very dangerous. They often create evil and anything that creates evil is evil. It was Mr. A. Kevichüsa who first coined the terms ‘Naga National Council’ and the ‘NAGA NATION’ in the Wokha

Meeting of June 19-20, 1946 to replace the then ‘Naga Hills Tribal Council’ of CR. Pawsey and the monthly Paper the ‘KOHIMA TIMES’. So, from the Wokha meeting onwards, Naga Hills Tribal Council became NAGA NATIONAL COUNCIL –NNC- and ‘Kohima Times’ became the “NAGA NATION” from the October 1946 Issue. My father and education missionary at Kohima, George W. Supplee use to publish the Monthly for the NNC. This Writer has a bound copy of the monthly issues of 1946 – 1947, now very fragile and the only surviving copy in Nagaland today. In the early 20th Century, the white Officers had a Club at Kohima Town exclusively for the White Officers only, they gathered, danced, drank, sang, and spent their leisure there every night. The indigenous government Servants of the DC Kohima, on cue of the white man Club, formed a Naga Club (exact date of formation not known) and it was not a political Organization. The Club Members were mostly staff of the DC Office Kohima. Naga Elders would gather at the Chotobosti Naga Club in the evenings to talk, maintain contacts with their colleagues and share stories or to while away their afteroffice time with their other members. The youths also gathered in the Club’s courtyard to play Games and Sports like Badminton, Long jump, Shot put. The Club kept Boxing Gloves in the building and the boys would try their sinews with it. There are stories of the boys sometimes getting a bit too sanguine and too serious with each other to the great enjoyment of the crowd of people standing on the roadside of the road above to and from the Kohima Village. The first quarter of the twentieth century, 1900-1925 was perhaps the most peaceful period of the Naga Hills. People no longer dreaded unknown enemy lurking in every unsuspecting places to take the Head every Naga coveted, the awesome colonial Sarkar had strictly stopped it, and womenfolk went to their cultivation and returned home without armed male escorts. They no longer feared Tiger-attack in the jungle, powerful Guns now could deal with ferocious wild animals and Tigers in the jungles. There were no Soldiers to fear; political troubles were unheard of, Quit-India Movement of Mahatma Gandhi had not started. The only challenge to life was a new Religion the white man brought and already it was changing the secure traditional customs and feasts of the people, with blouse, skirts, pantaloons, and sola hats. These are personal matters and the Naga had no King or Emperor to force their will on the people. The only fear was of Ghosts, Spirits, and dirt getting into the eyes. It was the zenith of the British Empire, the Sun never set there, and the Naga carried on his subsistence cultivation blissfully ignorant of the World. There were no political troubles and there was no need of a political Organization of the Naga during the first quarter of the nineteenth century. The Naga Club remained dormant after the destructions of the WW II, but any property of a Nation or of an Institution or even of an Individual, lost and found again, belongs to the original owner or its descendants even after several centuries but to no others.

Lessons from the Karnataka episode

he largest democratic country in the world was put to test following the Karnataka Governor’s abrupt decision to allow the BJP which emerged as the single largest party in the Karnataka election to form the Government when the Governor clearly knew that the BJP did not have the requisite number to stake claim to form the Government. Karnataka went to polls on 12 May 2018 in 222 constituencies of the total 224 constituency of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly. The counting took place on 15th May 2018 and amidst much fanfare, the BJP easily secured 104 seats to its kitty with a vote shareof 36.2%. The incumbent Congress was reduced to just 78 seats though it secured a higher percentage of vote share with 38 %. The third and the key player was the JD(S) which secured 38 seats in addition to one seat of BSP with which it had pre-poll alliance. Immediately, after the final counting was over. The Congress extended its support to the JD(S) to form the government in its bid to end the unprecedented rise of the BJP growth in India. In fact, both the Congress and the JD(S) were keen to oust the Saffron Party from forming the Government in Karnataka. The people were gripped with fear that the Governor might act unconstitutionally given his soft corner for the RSS and the BJP. This speculation eventually came true when the Governor invited Yedyurrapa(the leader of BJP) to form the Government despite the fact that the Congress and the JD(S) which had struck a deal post-election result had requested the Governor to form the Government since they have the numbers. This plea was out rightly rejected and the Governor defied all sorts of constitutional norms by appointing Yedyurappa as the Chief Minister of Karnataka and gave him 15 days to prove majority on the ‘Floor of the House’. Fifteen days was enough time for the BJP to use all sort of tactics and

involve in horse-trading to try to woo the Congress and the JD(S) MLAs. In fact, Congress and JD(S) MLAs were offered a whooping amount of 100 Crore and plump Portfolio to side with the BJP. It also gave them ample time to formulate and scheme devious plans for the Big Day i.e. ‘The Floor Test’. The Congress-JD(S) alliance took no time to file a writ petition at the Supreme Court demanding a stay on the governor’s invitation to the BJP to form the government. Democracy was at stake! Minority had become the new majority going by the Karnataka Governor’s decision. It was the prerogative of the Governor to invite the leader of the majority party to form the Government and the Karnataka case was not exceptional. The Congress and the JD(S) had the numbers to form the Government. But the Governor acted on the contrary. The Supreme Court’s verdict came as a huge relief for many who had high hopes on the Nation’s highest judiciary; often considered as the last resort by every section of the society.The Supreme Court had quashed the Governor’s decision cutting short the period for floor test from 15 days to 2 days. The apex court also directed the Yeddyurappa government not to take any major decision till its majority was proven. The debacle which was seemingly evident from the start came to reality on the 19th May 2018. The stage was set. All eyes were on Karnataka. The whole nation was glued to the Television sets for the Karnataka Floor test which was scheduled at 4 PM. The BJP didn’t had the numbers yet they entered the Assembly defiantly. After an emotional speech by Yedyurrapaat the Karnataka Assembly, BJP skipped the floor test and later Yedyurrapasubmitted his resignation as the Chief Minister of Karnataka (The Chief Minister who broke his own record as the shortest serving Chief Minister of Karnataka). The Karnataka episode

which unfolded every two days starting from the 15th May has taught us some lesson which unwinds as follows: 1. The Governor who is considered as the Constitutional head should be appointed on the basis of merit and not because of his/her affiliation with a particular party. The fact that the Governor should act according to the constitution and not on the party lines should be seriously viewed at. 2.BasanagoudaDaddal of the INC who is elected from the Raichur Rural constituency of Karnataka flatly refused the bribe which was offered to him. He had set a precedent for other politicians to emulate; that the moral and principle of an individual should not be compromised just because one is a politician. 3. Following the Supreme Court crisis in the earlier part of this year wherein four of the five senior-most judges of the Supreme Court openly spoke against the Chief Justice of India. The people became sceptical of the apex court because the government of the day had unscrupulously misused every institution of the country. The Karnataka incident has instilled hope in the minds of the people that the highest judiciary of the country cannot be subverted. 4. The Nagaland State BJP joined the bandwagon in the celebration of the victory in Karnataka a little too early by bursting crackers and shouting indiscriminately only to realize later that they had been jokers in the eyes of the people. The State BJP started to count the chickens even before they were hatched which proved to be very miserable. The dust has finally settled down in Karnataka. The swearing-in ceremony of Kumaraswamy is scheduled on 23rd May, 2018. With great hope and expectation we look forward that the JD(S)-Congress Government will sail smoothly and in due course will teach us many great lessons like it did this time.

Lawyers’ body moves SC for recall of Judge Loya case

Supreme Court of India and Judge B.H. Loya.

New Delhi, May 21 (IANS): The Bombay Lawyers Association on Monday moved the Supreme Court to seek a review and recall its judgment that held that Special CBI Court Judge B.H. Loya had met with natural death and that a PIL was misused for advancing political agenda and to scandalise the judiciary. Rejecting the plea for a SIT probe into the judge’s death, the top court in its April 19 judgment said: “It gives a sense of anguish that the proceedings were converted to scandalise the judiciary bordering on contempt.” The Bombay Lawyers Association was one of the petitioners who pleaded for a Special Investigation Team probe into the death, which the Supreme Court declined. When Judge Loya died of a cardiac failure on December 1, 2014, he was conducting a trial in a case related to the alleged staged shootout killing of Sohrabuddin Sheikh in November 2005. The now Bharatiya Janata Party President Amit Shah was one of the accused in the case but was later discharged. The recall plea filed by senior counsel Dushyant Dave said that the “judgment and order passed by

this court requires serious reconsideration and upon such reconsideration deserve to be recalled in the interest of justice and in larger public interest”. Contending that the top court committed an error by relying on the report of Commissioner Intelligence -- a police officer -- who had conducted an enquiry and reached the conclusion that Judge Loya died of natural causes and that the case did not require an independent investigation. “It is submitted that in this country, statements made before police officers are not admissible in the eyes of law. Therefore, the inquiry report could not have been placed on a higher pedestal than what law permits and demands,” said the plea. Holding as “erroneous” the finding that the Maharashtra government was authorised to hold an inquiry, the review plea contended that it was a “purely internal administrative inquiry” which was “secretive” and without any legal footing. The death of Judge Loya demands an “independent inquiry” under the Commission of Enquiry Act, 1952, or ordered by the High Court or Supreme Court in exercise of its extraordinary powers.

Such an “open and transparent” inquiry, the review plea said, should be in accordance with the principles of natural justice, involving the summoning of witnesses, cross-examining them, recording evidence and permitting parties to adduce evidence. This point was advanced before the top court in the course of the hearing of PILs that sought SIT probe into Judge Loya’s death but were rejected. That the judgment needs to be recalled, the review plea says “in as much as it proceeds on the premise that once statements of the judges are recorded by the Commissioner Intelligence, the same must be accepted and cannot be questioned by anybody”. Questioning the veracity of the statements of the judges in the Judge Loya death case, the plea maintained that “such questioning does not amount to either disrespect of the judges, much less a wanton attack on the independence of judiciary”. The inquiry report prepared by the Commissioner Intelligence, the review plea said, “when viewed in the light of freely recorded video interviews of Judge Loya’s father and sisters, appears to be a sham and a clear attempt to obstruct justice. “The father and the sisters had spoken about the pressure on late Judge Loya (and) the offers of bribe to him,” said the review petition.

Aircraft can’t empty toilet tank mid-air: DGCA

New Delhi, May 21 (IANS): There is no way an aircraft can empty toilets mid-air and dump human waste, the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) told the NGT on Monday. The DGCA made the statement while asking the green court to stay and review its previous order directing the regulator to ensure that airlines do not dump human waste while in the air. In October 2016, Lt Gen Satwant Singh Dahiya (retd) complained that the terrace of his house in south Delhi’s Vasant Enclave was being repeatedly spattered with excreta falling from aircraft. The DGCA on Monday said it was impossible to dump human waste midair. Following Dahiya’s plea, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) also asked the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to examine the sample which confirmed that it was excreta but its source -- bird or

human -- was not known. Later, the NGT directed the DGCA to issue a circular to all airlines operating at the IGI Airport here to ensure that they do not empty toilet tanks midair. Airlines found violating the order were to be fined Rs 50,000. The court also set up an expert committee and sought details by May 23. The committee said there was no system available in the aircraft to dispose waste mid-air. The DGCA on Monday said that modern day airline toilets are sealed and cannot be emptied during flight. “The aircraft system has three levels of in-built external protection for disposing the waste and under no circumstance release of waste during flight is possible and there has been no such resort ever by the operators,” the DGCA plea said. It added that the toilet waste can only be disposed of by manual operation on ground.

Any peace overture from Pak is taken seriously: India

New Delhi, May 21 (IANS): India takes seriously any comment that calls for peace with it, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Monday, days after Pakistan Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa favoured talks to resolve all disputes, including Kashmir, between the two countries. “Any comment on wanting peace will definitely be taken seriously,” Sitharaman said in reply to a query about Bajwa’s comments indicating that the Pakistan Army would supporting peace talks to resolve India-Pakistan disputes. She was speaking to reporters after inaugurating a workshop on artificial intelligence in national security and defence of India. According to Pakistan media reports, Bajwa last month said a peaceful resolution of disputes, including Kashmir, would be possible through talks between the two countries. Bajwa last month was

reported to have said it was Pakistan Army’s “sincere belief ” that all issues between Pakistan and India, “including the core issue of Kashmir”, could be solved peacefully by “comprehensive and meaningful dialogue”. “While such dialogue is no favour to any party, it remains the inevitable precursor to peace across the region. Pakistan remains committed to such a dialogue, but only on the basis of sovereign equality, dignity and honour,” the Pakistan Army chief said in one of the rarest com-

ments talking peace with India. Sitharaman also said that the armed forces would honour the government’s Ramadan ceasefire decision in Jammu and Kashmir. “We shall fully honour the policy which the Home Ministry on behalf of the government of India announced. The policy has clearly laid out how it is going to pan out and we shall abide by everything that was announced,” she said. In her address at the workshop, the Defence Minister said the India Army, Navy and the Air Force needed to incorporate the concept of artificial intelligence which can also be used to check chemical, biological and nuclear weapons and also to keep vigil on outer space. The Defence Ministry has approved the future roadmap on using Artificial Intelligence as tactical deterrent and its peaceful and commercial use.

Housemaid’s murder: Amnesty asks government to act New Delhi, May 21 (IANS): Rights group Amnesty International India on Monday asked the government to investigate and prosecute the accused in the gruesome murder case of the 16-year-old maid by her employer here, while calling for “progressive legislation” to protect rights of workers in the unorganised sector. The maid was killed, over two weeks back, after she demanded her salary from the person who brought her from

Jharkhand to get her employed as a domestic help in Delhi. Later, her body was chopped into three parts and dumped into a drain, from where they were found. “This individual case points to an endemic problem of girls, particularly underage girls from rural areas being brought to cities for domestic work, and kept in inhuman condi-

tions. “Human trafficking for domestic work can only be stopped when the government investigates and prosecutes traffickers, who pose as placement agencies to lure young girls and boys from poverty to a promised better life,” Asmita Basu, Programmes Director, Amnesty International India said in a statement. She added that the government must undertake

measures to protect domestic workers from all forms of abuse, harassment and violence, “by adopting progressive legislation that protects the rights of workers in unorganised sectors”. “An essential step to safeguarding the rights of domestic workers is recognising them as labourers and ensuring they have a safe working environment,” she said.

Speaking on the occasion, NPF spokesperson Achumbemo Kikon blamed Rio for the “abnormal situation facing the Naga people due to his greed for power and not for his love of the people.” Nagas would not have faced this by-election if Rio had true concern for the people by not returning to State politics even before his term ended, he added. By returning to State politics, Rio sacrificed 20 constituencies to BJP for his greed for power, Kikon stated, and added that the current campaign led by the incumbent chief minister was meant to fool the Naga public with blatant lies. NPF MLA Moatoshi, former MLA Hukavi and former BJP leader Zandi Domta also spoke on the occasion. The programme was chaired by NPF treasurer

On the PDA government’s release of VDB funds recently to villages, Zeliang remarked that the entire fund released so far by the present government was brought by the NPF government in the last tenure. He also alleged that the PDA government’s announcement to repair all district headquarters roads within 60 days and do away with VIP culture was nothing but to fool the public and gain public support.

(From p-1) Speaking on the occasion, Zeliang also gave clarification to accusation made by Rio, who, during one of his public speeches, alleged that NPF was divided into three groups. He said this was nothing informative, but “cheap political propaganda to confuse the people”. “In fact, Rio stated this to break up NPF and increase the number of NDPP MLAs so that he can ditch coalition partner BJP as he can see the aggressiveness and domination of BJP,” he alleged. Zeliang recalled how Rio during his tenure as MP tried every means to finish NPF while he was still the party’s Lok Sabha member and expressed gratefulness to God that Rio could not dismantle NPF.

Mincing no words in attacking the BJP, the NPFF chief alleged that fanaticism was at its peak in India where a “cow is placed above men and women in the country.” He declared that secular parties across India will come together in 2019 to wipe BJP out of India. Therie also warned Nagas not to take the BJP-RSS and its alliance parties very lightly since it could have “serious ramifications on Naga society in particular and the whole nation in general in the coming years.” Speaking on the occasion, NPF legislator Yitachu questioned why the PDA government headed by Neiphiu Rio over its slogan “Change is coming” which is not being matched with action. He also said NDPP contradicted its own slogan and also only engaged only in exercises concerning finding fault with its opponents. He termed the PDA government as a “gossip-mill government” to escape its own glaring weaknesses. He also accused Rio of having purchased leadership including his assembly seat from two persons who had intended to contest from 11

Northern Angami-II A/C and preventing a female candidate from filing nomination. Yitachu asked, “Is this how a true leader behaves? Since when has leadership become a purchase-able commodity? Can leadership be bought in this way? Is this how a true leader leads people?” Referring to BJP’s slogan “Election for solution”, the NPF MLA asked why the present government was silent on Naga solution issue and engaging only in lip servicing. He appealed to the electorate to vote for Apok , who, was the right person to represent the Nagas in Parliament. On his part, the NPF candidate appealed to the electorate to vote for him, saying “Your one precious vote will determine our future – that one vote to show we are Nagas. Are you ready to do it for the Nagas?” Others who spoke on the occasion included former NLA speaker Thenucho, NPF MLA and campaign committee convener Dr Chotisuh Sazo and NPF working president Apong Pongener.

However, the outlook to the rating has been retained as stable which reflects Moody’s expectation that the negative impact of the fraudulent transactions is largely known. The agency downgraded PNB’s foreign currency issuer rating by a notch to ‘ba1’, which is non-investment grade, from ‘Baa3’meaning below investment grade. “Moody’s Investors Service has downgraded the local and foreign currency deposit rating of Punjab National Bank (PNB) to Ba1/ NP from Baa3/P-3.

The CBDT believes that the appeals for “restoration” of these firms are required to recover tax dues and “protect the legitimate interests of revenue”. A standard operating procedure (SOP) has been issued by the CBDT last year for the tax department for filing such appeals that stated that shell firms against whom the department has pending cases of departmental appeal, penalty and prosecution among others will be petitioned before the NCLT.

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has directed the I-T Department to form a special team of officers to complete the task of filing these petitions in various NCLT benches across the country by this month-end, and has written to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs seeking its help.

Ebola preparedness much better now than for 2014 outbreak: WHO

Syria says capital is free of militants after defeat of IS

Syrian forces say they are clearing the area of militants.

Beirut, May 21 (Agencies): Syria’s military said Monday it has retaken the last neighborhoods in southern Damascus held by the Islamic State group and declared the Syrian capital and its surroundings “completely safe” from militants for the first time in nearly seven years, Chicago Tribune reported. Reading an army statement on Syrian TV, Gen. Ali Mayhoub said the army captured the former IS strongholds in the Palestinian Yarmouk camp and Hajar al-Aswad after a monthlong campaign. He said the army operations were “concen-

trated and successive,” leading to the extremists’ defeat in the city. The gains by President Bashar Assad’s troops bring greater Damascus — including the capital’s far-flung suburbs — fully under government control for the first time since the civil war began in 2011. “Damascus and its surroundings are completely secure,” Mayhoub said. State TV earlier said that government forces resumed an offensive at noon after a group of civilians was evacuated from the area overnight. Two hours later, the TV said troops captured

IS’ former stronghold of Hajar al-Aswad and broadcast images showing troops waving the Syrian national flag in the heavily destroyed neighborhood. A war monitoring group said some 1,600 people, including hundreds of IS gunmen, left the area on Saturday and Sunday, heading toward the desert east of the country following a deal with the government. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said government forces are now clearing the nearby Palestinian refugee camp of Yarmouk, a builtup residential area, of the

last remaining IS fighters. It said the month of fighting left scores of dead on both sides. The TV earlier quoted an unnamed Syrian military official as saying the two-day truce had been in place to evacuate women, children and the elderly on Sunday night from Hajar al-Aswad. Syrian state media denied a deal was reached to evacuate fighters. The push into Hajar alAswad and Yarmouk came after government forces captured the last rebel-held southern and eastern suburbs of Damascus, boosting security in Assad’s seat of power. “The Daesh terrorist organization was wiped out in Hajar al-Aswad,” an unnamed Syrian soldier told state TV, using an Arabic acronym to refer to IS. “We will keep marching until we liberate all parts of Syria.” Assad’s forces have been making steady gains since 2015, when Russian launched an air campaign on behalf of his forces. In December 2016, government forces captured rebel-held eastern neighborhoods of the northern city of Aleppo, marking Assad’s biggest victory since the conflict began.

Colombo, May 21 (PTI): Heavy monsoon rains and strong winds across Sri Lanka have killed at least seven persons and displaced more than 1,000, prompting authorities to deploy the military for rescue and relief operations. The Disaster Management Center (DMC) said that 1024 people have been displaced so far and have been sheltered at temporary locations. Seven people have been killed so far and hundreds have been affected by the adverse weather experienced in most parts of the country, Colombo Gazette reported. The most number of displaced have been reported from Badulla, Kegalle and Kalutara, the DMC said. Over 170 houses have been damaged as a result of the adverse weather affecting the country over the past few days. Landslide warnings were issued for several areas while people living along major rivers were cautioned over the possibility of floods, the report said. The Army, Navy and Air Force were deployed to the most affected areas to provide relief and join the rescue operations. President Maithripala Sirisena directed the relevant authorities to provide immediate relief to those affected.

A health worker sprays a visitor with chlorine at the Mbandaka General Hospital, in Mandaka, Democratic Republic of Congo on May 20. (Reuters)

GENE VA , M ay 2 1 (Agencies): The spread of Ebola to a major city in Democratic Republic of Congo is worrying but the outlook is much more optimistic than when a major outbreak was reported in West Africa in 2014, the head of the World Health Organization said on Monday, Reuters reported. Cases of the deadly virus have been confirmed in Mbandaka, a port city on the Congo river, raising concerns that Ebola could spread downstream to the capital Kinshasa, which has a population of 10 million. “It’s concerning that we now have cases of Ebola in an urban center, but we are much better placed to deal with this outbreak than

we were in 2014,” WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom told health ministers at the start of the WHO’s annual assembly. The WHO’s previous leadership was heavily criticized for its slow response to the outbreak that was declared in March 2014 and continued until January 2016, killing over 11,300 people. It was later found to have begun in late 2013, but WHO did not call an emergency meeting until August 2014. This time the WHO has moved rapidly to mobilize the response, convening an Emergency Committee and sending a vaccine to ring-fence the outbreak and stop it spreading further. “I’m pleased to say that

vaccination is starting as we speak today,” Tedros said. WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic said the vaccination of health workers would start on Monday, and people who had contact with Ebola victims would come later. The latest outbreak is Congo’s ninth since the disease made its first known appearance near the vast central African country’s northern Ebola river in the 1970s. Tedros said WHO staff and health workers were working around the clock to stop the outbreak, and said he had been impressed by seeing health workers “risking their own lives” in the remote town of Bikoro a week ago, just after the outbreak was declared. “The outbreak in Bikoro illustrates again that health security and universal health coverage are two sides of the same coin. The best thing we can do to prevent future outbreaks is to strengthen health systems everywhere,” Tedros said. The outbreak has so far killed 26 of the 46 people thought to have been infected, Jasarevic said. Of that caseload, 21 have been confirmed in a laboratory, 21 are regarded as probable Ebola cases, and four patients are suspected of having Ebola.

High-level team of doctors in Kerala to probe Nipah virus deaths

New Delhi, May 21 (PTI): The Union Health Ministry has sent a high-level multi-disciplinary team to Kerala’s Kozhikode district to probe the rising number of cases and reported deaths due to the Nipah virus. The high-level team from the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has been asked to assist the Kerala government and closely monitor the situation. “We are closely monitoring the situation. I have spoken to Tourism Minister K J Alphons and Kerala Health Minister K K Shailaja , and assured them all support of the central government. “I have also dispatched a central team to assist the state government and initiate required steps,” Union Health Minister J P Nadda said in a statement from Geneva. Union Minister K J Alphons hails from the southern state. The multi-disciplinary team constituted by the ministry reached Kerala today. It is being headed by the NCDC’s director.

Animal Husbandry department and forest officials collect bats from a well of a house after the outbreak of ‘Nipah’ virus, near Perambra in Kozhikode on Monday.

Nadda, Union Health Secretary Preeti Sudan has also spoken to the Principal Secretary for Health, Kerala, and reviewed the situation in the state. The central team includes Dr Sujeet K Singh, Director, NCDC; Dr S K Jain, Head of Epidemiology at NCDC; Dr P Ravindran, Director, Emergency Medical Relief (EMR); and Dr Naveen Gupta, Head of Zoonosis, NCDC, along with two clinicians and one expert from the Ministry of Animal Husbandry. The Nipah virus (NiV) infection in humans has a range of

clinical presentations, from asymptomatic infection to acute respiratory syndrome and fatal encephalitis, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). The Kozhikode health department is maintaining vigilance in the wake of three deaths. The condition of two more people, who were allegedly in contact with the deceased, is believed to be serious. NiV is also capable of causing disease in pigs and other domestic animals. There is no vaccine for either humans or animals. The primary treatment for human

cases is intensive supportive care, according to the WHO website. “The Union Health Minister has directed constitution of a high-level team of doctors and the selected team has reached Kerala. It is being suspected that the virus is being spread by bats,” a health ministry official said. “The team comprises officials from the department of animal husbandry, the National Institute of Immunology and the Indian Council of Medical Research, among others. The ministry is in close touch with the Kerala health department to monitor the situation,” the official added. The Kerala health department has been put on high alert in the wake of the death of three members of a family here in the past fortnight due to the Nipah virus. While a 50-year-old woman died at a private hospital in Changarothu in the district on May 19, her male relatives, aged 25 and 23, died on May 18 and May 5.

SC seeks Centre, Kerala reply on plea against nativity criterion

New Delhi, May 21 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Monday sought the response from the Centre, Kerala and the MCI on a medical college plea seeking direction to provide for the option of filling up seats through central counselling. It also asked to quash a Kerala government decision fixing a nativity criterion for admission. A bench, headed by Justice A.M. Khanwilkar, asked the Central and state governments, the Medical Council of India and the Commissioner of Entrance Examinations to file their response and posted the matter for May 28. The plea, filed by Kunhitharuvai Memorial Charitable Trust Medical College, sought that private self-financing institutions be enabled to access central counselling and fill up seats from an all-India pool of students from this academic year. It also asked to strike down the Kerala government decision fixing a nativity criterion for admission in Under Graduate and Post Graduate courses,

Justice A.M. Khanwilkar

which it said is “discriminatory”. The institution also said that due to the nativity criteria, it has to “fill its seats through state counselling and is unable to access central counselling which hinges on accessing and admitting an all-India pool of students”. “This nativity criterion is violative of the Constitution’s Article 14 as it is manifestly arbitrary, unreasonable, irrational, discriminatory, and classifies unreasonably,” argued senior advocate Jayant Bhushan and advocate Y. Shiva Santosh, appearing for the medical college, which is an unaided minor-

ity institute. “The reach of private unaided self-financing institutions some of which additionally enjoy the status of a minority institution under Article 30(1) of the Constitution suffers on account of being unable to take the option of centralised counselling and thereby admit students from an all-India pool, on account of the nativity criterion imposed by the state,” added the plea. Kerala does not financially support the private self-financing institutions in any manner whatsoever and this sort of “nationalising” the seats by restricting the eligible candidates to a state quota and not allowing the colleges to access an all-India pool of students is “unreasonable state action”, it added. It submitted that every private self-financing institution must have the right to choose its intake from an all-India pool of applications as they function from funds generated from fees alone and do not rely on state funding in any manner.

Pakistan Rangers violate ceasefire Punjab govt patronising environmental massacre: Sukhbir

Jammu, May 21 (PTI): The Pakistan Rangers again started unprovoked firing and shelling along the International Border (IB) in Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir tonight, hours after “pleading” with the BSF to stop firing, after being pounded with heavy artillery that left a trooper dead across the border. Small-arms firing

from the Pakistani side started around 10.30 pm at Narayanpur in the Ramgarh sector and was followed by mortar firing, aimed at the forward posts of the BSF and villages along the border, a officer of the borderguarding force told PTI. The officer, who requested not to be named, said the BSF troops guarding the border retaliated to silence the Paki-

stani guns and the exchange of fire between the two sides was going on when the last reports came in. However, there was no report of any casualty, he added. Earlier in the day, the BSF said the Pakistan Rangers “pleaded” with them to stop firing along the IB, after being pounded with heavy artillery that left a Pakistani trooper dead.

Meanwhile, Congress MLA Shivaram Hebbar that audio clip released by his party to allege that the BJP reached out to him for cross-voting during the floor test in the Karnataka assembly was “fake”. Hebbar questioned the authenticity of the audio clip in a Facebook post in Kannada, saying his wife did not receive any call from the Bharatiya Janata Party. “This is not my wife’s voice and she has not received any such calls. The audio tape is fake. I condemn it,” he wrote. The May 12 Karnataka assembly elections threw up a hung assembly and the BJP emerged as the single largest party with 104 seats but eight short

of a majority. Governor Vajubhai Vala invited BJP leader BS Yeddyurappa to form the government and gave him 15 days to prove his majority. After the Supreme Court curtailed that period to two days, Yeddyurappa resigned without facing the floor test on May 19 as he did not have the numbers. The Congress had released three audio tapes in the run-up to the floor test, claiming BJP leaders were trying to “poach” the party’s MLAs by offering “blandishments” so that the BS Yeddyurappa government is saved. “Facebook post of Congress MLA Shivram Hebbar from Yellapur, in which he denies his wife ever getting a call from BJP, calls it a fake audio clip... Shame on Congress for brazenly lying, spreading mis-information and media channels for lapping it up. It is all over regional paper,” BJP’s national information and technology cell head Amit Malviya tweeted.

MUMBAI/New Delh i / C h andi g a r h , May 21 (Agencies): With the mercury rising above 40 degrees Celsius in many parts of Maharashtra and even 48 degrees at one place on Monday, people took for the cooler climes of hill stations or sea resorts to escape the heat. Temperatures touched 48 degrees in Chandrapur, which became the hottest in the state, while many parts of Vidarbha like Gadchiroli was 47 degrees, Nagpur and Wardha were at 46 degrees, and Akola, Yavatmal and Amravati were 45 degrees.

Mumbai and adjoining coastal belt districts were a sweltering 34-36 degrees with the high humidity making life miserable for the people. Skymet Weather has attributed the high temperatures in most parts of the state due to the prevalence of dry and hot northwesterly winds sweeping over the region from the hotter areas of Sindh and Baluchistan. However, it expects a brief respite from hot weather conditions in Vidarbha, which are likely to be hit by rains and thundershowers over the next couple of days.

Haspel described her life at CIA and that of other U.S. intelligence workers as “more than a career,” but rather “a calling” to protect the country against terrorist attacks. “We are the best and our challenge is always to be the best,” she told CIA workers in the agency’s lobby. The U.S. Senate confirmed Haspel last Thursday by a vote of 54-45, ending a tumultuous nomination process in which lawmakers revisited the CIA’s past interrogation practices.

Maduro re-elected Venezuela President amid outcry

CARACAS, May 21 (Agencies): Venezuela’s leftist leader Nicolas Maduro won a new six-year term on Sunday, but his main rivals disavowed the election alleging massive irregularities in a process critics decried as a farce propping up a dictatorship, Reuters reported. Victory for the 55year-old former bus driver, who replaced Hugo Chavez after his death from cancer in 2013, may trigger a new round of western sanctions against the socialist government as it grapples with a ruinous economic crisis. U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is threatening moves against Venezuela’s already reeling

oil sector. Venezuela’s election board, run by Maduro loyalists, said he took 5.8 million votes, versus 1.8 million for his closest challenger Henri Falcon, a former governor who broke with an opposition boycott to stand. “They underestimated me,” Mr. Maduro told cheering supporters on a stage outside his Miraflores presidential palace in downtown Caracas as fireworks sounded and confetti fell on the crowd. Turnout at the election was just 46.1 percent, the election board said, way down from the 80 percent registered at the last presidential vote in 2013.

The opposition said that figure was inflated, putting participation at nearer 30 percent. “The process undoubtedly lacks legitimacy and as such we do not recognize it,” said Mr. Falcon, a 56year-old former State governor, looking downcast. Mr. Maduro had welcomed Mr. Falcon’s candidacy, which gave some legitimacy to a process critics at home and around the world had condemned in advance as the “coronation” of a dictator. Mr. Falcon’s quick rejection of Sunday’s election, and call for a new vote, was therefore a blow to the government’s strategy.

2 climbers found dead on Mount Everest: Officials

Sharif also expressed serious reservations about the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) which was set up by the Supreme Court last year and its report led to Sharif ’s disqualification and start of corruption cases. “There are and always have been reservations against the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) members,” he said. He especially mentioned representatives of Inter-Services Intelligence and Military Intelligence in the JIT and said their inclusion was “unnecessary”. He also said that other four members of the JIT were not neutral as some of them had political affiliations while others had a track record of anti-Sharif bias. The court adjourned the hearing until tomorrow. The three cases include Avenfield properties, Al-Azizia Steel Mills and Flagship Investment. Sharif is accused in all three with his two sons while his daughter and sonin-law are co-accused only in Avenfiled case.

Washington, May 21 (Agencies): Two foreign climbers attempting to scale Mount Everest have died on the world’s highest peak, a Nepal mountaineering official said Monday. Members of their expedition teams reported a Japanese climber died Monday and a Macedonian died on Sunday, said Gyanendra Shrestha, who is stationed at Everest’s base camp during the climbing season and received the reports of the deaths, Foxnews reported. The Japanese climber was identified as 35-yearold Nobukazu Kuriki and the Macedonian was 63year-old Gjeorgi Petkov. Kuriki was a known mountaineer who climbed many mountains and made several attempts on Everest. He was not successful in climbing Everest and lost most of his fingers due to frostbite during an attempt in 2012. Reuters reported that it was Kuriki’s eighth attempt at climbing the mountain. He was found dead while sleeping in a tent at camp 2, which is at 24,278 feet.

Islamabad, May 21 (PTI): Pakistan’s ousted premier Nawaz Sharif Monday denied ownership or any link with the purchase of properties in London as he recorded his statement before the accountability court here in a corruption case spiralling from the Panama Papers scandal. The Avenfield case is one of the three cases filed against Sharif, 68, and his family following the July 28 verdict of the Supreme Court, which had disqualified him and ordered institution of cases. Sharif, his daughter Maryam, sons Hassan and Hussain and son-in-law Muhammad Safdar are accused in the case that is based on allegation that the properties in London were bought in 1990s with the corruption money when Sharif twice served as premier. The court last week ordered Sharif, Maryam and Safdar to record final statements in their defense after a 19 prosecution witness testified in the case. Hassan and Hussain were not called as they were

already declared as absconders. Accountability Court Judge Muhammad Bashir had prepared a questionnaire of around 127 questions and handed it over to the counsel representing the Sharif family. The former prime minister read the written answers while elaborating his positions in the case. He firmly denied that he was direct or indirect owner of properties located in London. “I was never involved in or associated with the acquisition of the London properties through any real or beneficial title,” he said.

Opposition abstainers saw it as vindicating their decision.

Mainly poor Venezuelans were asked to scan State-issued ”fatherland cards” at red tents after voting in hope of receiving a “prize” promised by Mr. Maduro, which opponents said was akin to vote-buying.

Gina Haspel (PTI)

Six Democrats voted in favor of Haspel, while two Republicans opposed her nomination to replace Mike Pompeo, who was confirmed last month as secretary of state. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, praised Haspel, a career CIA employee, as “uniquely qualified to face America’s biggest national security challenges,” adding that she has “earned the respect and admiration of the men and women of the CIA.” President Donald Trump’s selection of Haspel sparked controversy, given her oversight of harsh detainee interrogations after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on America. She also wrote a memo authorizing the spy agency’s destruction of videotapes showing what many legal scholars said was the torture of terror suspects. Democrat Patrick Leahy of Vermont announced his opposition to Haspel shortly before the vote, calling some of her known record “disturbing.”

Lon d on, M ay 2 1 (Agencies): Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said the US is imposing the “strongest sanctions in history” on Iran, BBC reported. In a speech in Washington, America’s top diplomat said Iran would be “battling to keep its economy alive” after the sanctions took effect. He said he would work closely with the Pentagon and regional allies “to deter any Iranian aggression”. Earlier this month, President Donald Trump took the US out of the landmark 2015 Iran nuclear deal. In his first major foreign policy speech as secretary of state, Mr Pompeo unveiled the administration’s “Plan B” for countering the Islamic republic on Monday. He laid out 12 conditions that Washington would need to be met for any “new deal” with Tehran, including pulling all its forces out of Syria and ending support for rebels in Yemen America’s top diplomat said relief from sanctions would only come when Washington had seen a real change in Iran’s policies.

wedding dress gets Beyonce bought a church in New Orleans, report says Kelly Clarkson’s plea Markle’s criticized by Katy Perry B over Texas school shooting K elly Clarkson made an emotional plea ove r t h e s c h o o l shooting in Texas, while hosting the Billboard Awards in Las Vegas. Ten people died on Friday at Santa Fe High School after 17-year-old Dimitrios Pagourtzis allegedly opened fire on classmates. “I’m so sick of moments of silence. It’s not working,” she said. “Why don’t we not do a moment of silence? Why don’t we do a moment of action? A moment of change?” Having to compose herself on multiple occasions, she continued: “Once again we are grieving for more kids that have died for just absolutely no reason at all.” It wasn’t the only time that American school shootings were referenced during the show. The Marjory Stone-

man Douglas High School show choir later joined Shawn Mendes and Khalid on stage. They’re from the school in Parkland, Florida, where 17 people were killed in February. They performed the song Youth, which has the chorus: “You can’t take my youth away.” When it came to the actual awards, Ed Sheeran was the big winner. The singer took home four awards - top artist, top radio songs artist, top song sales artist and top hot 100. Other artists used the ceremony to pay tribute to

Avicii, who died last month aged 28. Andrew Taggart from The Chainsmokers said the DJ’s death was “a great loss for the music world and for us”. “He was an artist who inspired so many in so many ways and simply put he meant so much to us and so many in the EDM community.” Halsey added: “Everyone who worked with him would agree he was such a joy and it makes this tragedy all the more painful. “And it’s a reminder to all of us to be there and to support and love all of our friends and family members who may be struggling with mental health issues.” The annual awards show, which celebrates artists’ achievements on the Billboard charts in the US, had a performance from Ariana Grande.

aty Perry’s going to tell it like it is! The 33-yearold pop star opened up to ET’s Lauren Zima about this weekend’s biggest event – the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle – during Sunday’s night one of the “American Idol” finale. “I would have done one more fitting,” Perry quipped of Markle’s stunning Givenchy gown. “I’m never not going to tell the truth! One more fitting, but I love you.” She added that she preferred Kate Middleton’s 2011 Alexander McQueen bridal look, adding,

“Kate, Kate, Kate won, Kate won!” Despite her slight criticism of Markle’s dress, Perry added, “I’m so happy for them, and, you know, I don’t know them from Adam, but it’s amazing what she’s doing with all this, her humanitarian efforts. You know, the fact that she’s a proud feminist, I love all that, so I support her as another woman and love her and wish them both well.” Perry’s fellow Idol judge, Lionel Richie, also gave some insight into what this wedding meant to him.

Stars urge Indonesia’s president to ban ‘brutal’ trade in dog meat

nternational stars of acting, music and sports have urged Indonesia’s president to ban what they say is a “brutal” trade in dog and cat meat for human consumption. The appeal comes after Indonesian campaigners against animal cruelty and Humane Society International in January exposed markets on the island of Sulawesi where dogs were bludgeoned by the thousands and blowtorched alive to remove their hair before onlookers, including children. The letter to President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo released Monday said if Indonesia joined other Asian

nations that have already banned the cruel trade, it would be “celebrated globally” and end a stain on the country’s reputation. The coalition of campaigners, calling itself Dog Meat-Free Indonesia, also warned of health risks posed by the trade due to its potential to spread rabies. “These animals, many of them stolen pets, are subjected to crude and brutal methods of capture, transport and slaughter, and the immense suffering and fear they must endure is heartbreaking and absolutely shocking,” the letter said. Actress Cameron

Diaz, talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, talent spotter Simon Cowell, comedian Ricky Gervais, Indonesian pop singer Anggun and

musician Moby are among the more than 90 celebrities listed in the letter. Dog meat is eaten by only a small percentage

of Indonesians, but in a country of more than 250 million people it still represents a significant trade. (FoxNews)

The Four Weddings and a Funeral and Paddington star is set to wed the mother of three of his children, Swedish TV producer, Anna Eberstein. A photograph of the wedding banns has been posted in several newspapers. Grant, 57, has five children in total, including two - Tabitha and Felix with former partner Tinglan Hong. Eberstein, 39, gave birth to her first child with Grant, a son, in 2012. The couple then had a daughter, whose name has not been revealed, in December 2015. In March this year, Grant’s ex-girlfriend Liz Hurley revealed that Grant and Eberstein had recently welcomed a third child but the sex is unknown. Grant’s previous girlfriends include Jemima Khan.He was famously arrested in Los Angeles in June 1995 for lewd conduct with prostitute Divine Brown, and fined £800 after pleading no contest to the charge. Police officers in an unmarked vehicle trailed the actor’s car after spotting him picking up Brown in an area notorious for prostitutes. Grant later apologised for his “insane” act. The actor has starred in films including Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and Paddington 2. (BBC)

35-minute opening match to give India a 1-0 lead. However, Meghana Jakkampudi and Poorvisha S Ram suffered a 13-21, 1621 loss to Australia’s Gronya Somerville and Renuga Veeran within half an hour to concede the advantage. Vaishnavi Reddy Jakka, 16, then dumped Jennifer Tam 21-17, 21-13 to once again bring India back in the contest. India’s qualification for the knockout stage will depend on their next match against top seeds Japan on Wednesday.

Nainggolan announces international retirement B ru s s e l s, M ay 2 1 (Agencies): Radja Nainggolan has retired from international football, following his omission from Roberto Martinez’s initial 28-man Belgium squad. The Roma midfielder announced the news on social media: “Very reluctantly my international career comes to an end. I’ve always done everything I could to represent my country.” Martinez explained the decision to leave Nainggolan out of the team as purely tactical. The 30-year-old is hugely popular with fans and his team-mates but his relationship with Martinez has often been strained leading to him being dropped twice in recent months. “It was a sad and difficult decision,” said Martinez. “He is a player with a lot of class and he was voted Roma’s best player, but I’ve made my decision

for purely tactical reasons. I have put in place a specific system that works. I can’t use Radja in a secondary role.” Martinez said he had travelled to Rome to explain his choice to the player. The decision to omit Nainggolan was criticised by former Belgium and Newcastle defender Philippe Albert. “We must be the only country in the world to be making the trip without one of the best players in the world,” he said. “This is not the way to become world champions.”

Morata left out of Spain WC squad M adrid, M ay 2 1 (Agencies): Alvaro Morata has missed out on a place in Spain’s squad for the World Cup in Russia, with Cesc Fabregas, Marcos Alonso, Ander Herrera and Hector Bellerin also omitted by Julen Lopetegui. Lopetegui named his 23-man squad for the tournament on Monday, with four Premier League players included - David de Gea, Cesar Azpilicueta, Nacho Monreal and David Silva. However, there was no place for Chelsea striker Morata, with Isco, Sergio Asensio, Lucas Vazquez, Rodrigo and Diego Costa preferred in attack. Morata has struggled for fitness and form since joining the Blues from Real Madrid last summer,

Raonic pulls out of French Open M adrid, M ay 2 1 (IANS): Canadian tennis player Milos Raonic has withdrawn from the French Open, the second Grand Slam event of the season, in a statement on Twitter. Raonic did not reveal why he pulled out of Roland Garros, which begins May 27, but said he plans to resume competitive tennis in the grass season in June, reports Efe. “It is with a heavy heart that I am withdrawing from Roland Garros. I have many great memories there, but I know I need to continue working hard to put myself in the best position when I step out on the court,” Raonic tweeted. “Thank you all for your support and see you soon on the grass,” Raonic, a former top 10 player, added. Although right knee issues forced Raonic, currently world No. 22, to withdraw from his Monte Carlo Masters round-of16 clash against Croatia’s Marin Cilic, he competed at the Madrid Open.

We showed we could compete with anyone, we beat Juventus twice.” Meanwhile, Lazio’s fierce rivals Roma ended their campaign with a narrow 1-0 win at Sassuolo. The only goal of the game came in the closing seconds of the first half when defender Kostas Manolas’ attempted cross somehow crept in. SPAL and Cagliari saved themselves from the possibility of relegation with final-day victories, meaning a return to Serie B for Crotone. Crotone had to win to have any chance of survival and then hope other results went their way, but neither permutation materialised.

playing his final game for Barcelona. “We’ve taken the players we feel are the best and feel that we have the ingredients to challenge for the title and are just anxious for things to start now,” said Lopetegui. “We feel that each one will bring his style and personality to the team and this is important for each game and each situation.” Spain open their tournament against neighbours Portugal on June 15 before they face Iran and Morocco in their remaining Group B fixtures. Lopetegui added, “This is the best and most beautiful competition in the world but at the same time the most difficult as you only have three initial games to prove oneself.”

Nadal back at number one ahead of French Open

Rome, May 21 (Agencies): Rafael Nadal returned to the top of the world rankings on Monday after winning his eighth Italian Open title at the weekend to confirm once more his status as the king of the clay court. Sunday’s 6-1 1-6 6-3 victory over German Alexander Zverev on the Rome dirt ensured the 31-yearold would leapfrog Roger Federer and become world number one for a sixth time ahead of the French Open. If the rankings were based solely on claycourt play, however, the Spaniard would rarely have left the pinnacle in the 13 years since he won the first of his 10 Roland Garros crowns. With Federer skipping the claycourt season and top seeding long assured, Nadal will head to Paris next week a strong favourite to get his hands on the Coupe des Mousquetaires for a recordextending 11th time. “Everything will be different in Paris,” Nadal said somewhat disingenuously after his victory at the Foro Italico. “Of course a win like this helps but in Paris the conditions will be different in every respect. Today is the time to enjoy this victory, not for thinking about Roland Garros.” Despite losing his first service game on Sunday, Nadal removed any doubts over his fitness and form for the year’s second major in the opening set. “I played one of the best sets that I played on

clay this year. First set was fantastic, in my opinion, in terms of everything,” he added. “Feeling, good shots, tactically - everything was, in my opinion great in the first set, no. Returning great. All the things that I wanted to do happened. So, it was a great set.” Zverev, who had won back-to-back claycourt titles over the previous two weeks in Munich and Madrid, hit back to win the second set but a rain delay disrupted his rhythm and Nadal reeled off the last five games to seal his 78th career title. The 21-year-old German will be second seed at Roland Garros and he took some positives from his performance in Rome. “I was not far away from beating Rafa on a clay court in a Masters final,” he said. “So I guess I can take that to Paris.”

Sharapova on the rise in Rankings

Maria Sharapova’s run to the Italian Open semi-finals has earned her an 11-place jump to 29th in the latest WTA rankings on Monday. While Sharapova was moving up the charts Elina Svitolina remained at number four despite her successful title defence in Rome. Beaten finalist Simona Halep retains her number one spot with Caroline Wozniacki in second and Garbine Muguruza in third. For Sharapova, this latest jump came after her 12-rung climb following her progress to the quarterfinals in Madrid the week before. The Russian former world number one and five time Grand Slam champion is hitting her stride just at the right time with the French Open starting next Monday.

Inter had to win in order to take third place from Lazio who had a superior head-to-head record and needed just to draw. Late goals from captain Mauro Icardi and Matias Vecino ensured Inter return to Europe for the first time since the 2011-2012 season, along with Juventus, Napoli and Roma. “The target was the Champions League.

Iniesta ends Barca career with win

Andres Iniesta is thrown in the air by team-mates after his final game for Barcelona.

Barcelona, May 21 (Agencies): Andres Iniesta ended his Barcelona career with a 1-0 win against Real Sociedad on Sunday, as the hosts lifted the La Liga trophy. The midfielder announced earlier in the season that he would be leaving the club after 22 years and played 81 minutes at the Nou Camp before leaving the field to an emotional reception. It was a stunning strike from Phillipe Coutinho in the 57th minute that sealed the victory for Barcelona and they were presented with the league trophy in front of their fans after the game. It caps off a successful domestic season for Barcelona, who also won the Copa del Rey a few weeks ago, while Real Sociedad will end the season in 12th place. Real Sociedad did well in the opening exchanges and forced the first save of the game as Adnan Januzaj tried his luck from 20 yards, but his fizzing effort was pushed behind by MarcAndre ter Stegen. On the

receive a red card despite the protests of the home players, although he did go into the referee’s book. Barcelona opened the scoring 12 minutes after the restart, and it was a brilliant goal from Coutinho. He picked up the ball in the middle of the park before finding a sliver of space with Real Sociedad defenders around him. He then hit a thunderous effort from 20 yards that powered into the back of the net. He was replaced by Lionel Messi in the 67th minute, and Barcelona had two good chances not long after. Gerard Pique’s shot from a delivered free-kick was saved by Miguel Angel Moya before Messi was set away down the pitch, picking out Denis Suarez to his right, but the eventual cross from the latter went wide. Iniesta left the Nou Camp pitch for the final time in the 81st minute to a rousing reception from every corner of the stadium, hugging each player before taking his spot on the bench with tears in his eyes as the fans sung his name for the remainder of the match.

10-minute mark, Iniesta nearly capped his final appearance with a goal but his shot skimmed the outside of the net. The best chance of the half came in the 26th minute for Barcelona. Coutinho left two Real Sociedad players in his wake before picking out Ousmane Dembele on the right flank, who then

lofted a cross into the area which met the head of Ivan Rakitic in the middle but he could only direct the effort over the crossbar. Real Sociedad should have gone down to 10 men just before the break as Raul Navas launched into a horrible tackle on Dembele, catching him on the ankle with his studs, but did not

Lionel Messi picked up a record fifth European Golden Shoe after finishing the domestic league campaign with 34 goals. The Barcelona forward was trailing Mohamed Salah in April, but eight goals in the Argentine’s last six La Liga games - including hat-tricks against Leganes and Deportivo - saw Messi finish two clear of the Liverpool winger. It is the fifth time Messi has claimed the award (2009-10, 2010-11, 201213, 2016-17), moving the 30-year-old one clear of Cristiano Ronaldo. After hitting 30 Premier League goals for the
