CWC rejects Rahul’s offers to resign NEW DELHI, MAY 25 (PTI): Taking total responsibility for the Lok Sabha poll debacle, Rahul Gandhi on Saturday offered to resign as Congress president, which the Congress Working Committee (CWC) unanimously rejected and authorised him to overhaul and restructure the party at all levels. The crucial meeting of Congress’s highest decision-making body deliberated for almost four hours upon reasons behind the party’s defeat with various leaders urging Rahul Gandhi to continue to provide leadership. Sources said Gandhi put forth his resignation before the committee, asking it to elect a new president. The sources added the Congress chief did not give any speech and asked the CWC to chose a new leader from outside his family. Top leaders asked him not to resign, with some even getting emotional while convincing him to continue. Congress stalwarts including party general secretaries, chief ministers and former ministers, unanimously rejected his offer to resign and reposed faith in his leadership.

to the President stated. President Kovind’s office also tweeted that PM Modi had been asked to indicate the date of the swearing in ceremony to be held at Rashtrapati Bhavan and list the names of his council of ministers. After staking claim, Modi told reporters that his government wouldn’t waste a moment to get down to work for the people. “President today gave me a letter designating me as the Prime Minister… The country has given me a huge mandate and the mandate comes with the expectations of the people,” PM Modi said. The Prime Minister is expected to take oath early next week after visiting his

home state Gujarat to seek his mother’s blessings and then fly down for a quick thanksgiving trip to his constituency Varanasi which sent him to Lok Sabha. Modi’s swearing-in ceremony as prime minister is likely to take place on May 30.

Staff Reporter

D I M A P U R , M AY 2 5 (NPN): Tenants’ Association Naga Shopping Arcade (TANSA), Dimapur has resolved not to pay the enhanced rent from April 2019 if the demands of the association were not met. In a representation addressed to the chairman of Development Authority of Nagaland (DAN), TANSA president, Pukhaho

Yepthomi, and the secretary, Yarmong stated that the association has been requesting the department to look into matters of hygiene, maintenance of complex building, drainage system etc. The tenants have been diligently abiding with DAN and paying the rent and maintaining basic restoration at their own cost, the association stated. However, they said it was unfair when monthly rent is enhanced

without fulfilling the plea of the tenants. What irked the tenants most was the imposition of 15% service charge besides the monthly rental without undertaking any maintenance work, the association president said. Therefore, TANSA has asked DAN to completely maintain the structures which has become insecure due to non-maintenance and to make the complex presentable by fixing windows, shutters, proper drainage system and clearance of water logging at the basement. “Unless and until DAN perform the requirements, TANSA will not comply with the office order and continue to pay the same rent (old rate),” the representation stated. It may be mentioned that the rent of Naga Shopping Arcade was enhanced from Rs.5 per square feet to Rs.9.50 per square feet for ground floor and for the first floor from Rs.4.50 psft to Rs.7.60 psft.

NH-29 LOU wants works stopped in objected areas D I M A P U R , M AY 2 5 (NPN): NH-29 Land Owner Union (LOU) claimed that individual land owners have requested them to stop road widening works from Purana Bazaar to Chumukidema until a consensus was reached with the government. In a press note, NH-29 LOU information &publicity secretary Kewetso Kenye stated that any untoward eventuality arising out of forceful approach would be unfortunate. LOU therefore, suggested that the government avoid areas where objections were raised for the time being or until the union next meeting with the DC Dimapur. NH-29 LOU reminded that DC Dimapur during May 8, 2019 meeting with the union along with GBs and chairman assured to convene a separate meeting after May 23, 2019.

two entities. It said that the Agreement was for the Nagas who inhabits 80% of the landmass of Manipur. “It will be a tragic travail to sabotage the peace initiative being endorsed and taken up with the support of United Nations’ Agencies, Unrepresented People’s Organization and other Democratic nations,” NH asserted. According to the Naga Hoho, there was nothing in the Agreement that would suppress the rights, history and territorial boundaries of Meiteis. The hoho said Meiteis should be aware that Nagas were a peace loving people, yearning to resolve the long drawn-out issue and assert their legitimate stand and rights without any bloodshed. “As good neighbors, we will share neighbourly relationship

in all generations to come and the Nagas understand that there are many respectable and learned Meitis with whom we enjoy brotherly rapport till-date,” NH added. NH, however, stated that a few organizations such as UCM “working with vested interests need pretentiously carry the sentiments of the majority residents of Manipur.” The hoho maintained that “an eye for an eye approach, if equally employed by Nagas” would result in “unmanageable proposition in the history of mankind.” Alleging that Manipur government was “arbitrarily represented by the Meiteis of Manipur”, NH said the voice of the tribal in hill districts was seldom upheld. “If the Meitei led government bows to the whims and fancies of

Meitei CSOs like UCM, the Nagas inhabiting the surrounding areas will be compelled to take up befitting measures in order to protect our rights,” the hoho asserted.

UCM relaxes ultimatum

Imphal Correspondent adds: A five-member delegation of UCM held talks with Manipur government over the 72-hour ultimatum pertaining to the controversy surrounding the extension of ceasefire between NSCN(I-M) and government of India in Manipur. On May 22, 2019, the UCM had served ultimatum on the Manipur government and Central government to clarify whether the ceasefire was extended to Manipur or not. With the deadline set by the pressure group due to expire on Saturday, the

Wanmai, who were among those who rushed to the spot stated that the 407 Truck and a pick-up truck carrying jawans were first targeted with IED blast followed by heavy firing. The IED however missed the target, avoiding heavy casualties, IRCSN members stated. Police, district administration and village leaders also rushed to the spot. Meanwhile, security forces have launched a combing operation in the area.

Rio, Patton condemn

Nagaland chief minister, Neiphiu Rio and deputy chief minister, Y. Patton have condemned the attack on Assam Rifles personnel by unidentified persons. Rio took to twitter to

condemn the incident, saying: “Reports of violence and attacks on security forces by unknown persons, in Mon district, is highly condemnable. I convey condolences to those who have been killed and wish speedy recovery for the injured. I further appeal for peace from all sections.” Patton: Deputy chief minister, Y Patton, who is also the in-charge of Home, vehemently condemned the incident. In this connection, Y Patton directed the state police for thorough investigation and deliver justice as per the law of the land. Meanwhile, Patton also expressed his condolence to the bereaved family and wished speedy recovery of the injured personnel.

CAB issue misconstrued: Tokheho

D I M A P U R , M AY 2 5 (NPN): Reacting to Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) president K. Therie’s statement, ridiculing Lok Sabah MP Tokheho Yepthomi’s recent views on the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, the latter maintained that the issue has been misconstrued and has become a propaganda tool. Tokheho clarified that the issue has also been wrongly put in the public domain that once CAB is passed, the entire North East region will be overrun by “crores” of immigrants waiting at the borders of neighboring countries. “This notion is totally false and has misled a lot of people. The CAB will only grant immediate citizenship to immigrants who have entered India prior to 31 December 2014. To know the facts about the CAB we need to only look at the report of the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on CAB,

NH objects to UCM ultimatum over extension of CF DIMAPUR, MAY 25 (NPN): Naga Hoho (NH) Saturday took “strong exception” to what it described the “unwarranted ultimatum” issued by United Committee of Manipur (UCM) on the ceasefire extension in all Naga areas. NH through its communication cell alleged that UCM had been provoking the Nagas from time to time on sensitive issues. The hoho said UCM statement came at a time when the peace-loving people were all eagerly waiting for the final solution to the “vexed IndoNaga political imbroglio at the highest level talks without territorial limits.” The Naga hoho reminded UCM that Naga people from Manipur state was a party to the ceasefire/Framework Agreement signed between the

five-member delegation of the UCM met state revenue minister Karam Shyam at the latter’s office chamber at New Secretariat, Imphal. The meeting was on an invitation from chief minister N Biren Singh, who is currently camping in New Delhi. After the meeting, UCM delegations told media that they agreed to relax the 72-hour deadline set by them till the chief minister returns from the national capital. They stated that during the meeting, they made a firm stand that the state government and Central government must clarify on NSCN (IM)’s claim. While assuring on behalf of the chief minister to take up the needful steps, the minister urged UCM to relax the deadline until chief minister retuned from New Delhi.

2016,” he added. The MP said that people who have twisted and propagated that the CAB will allow crores of refugees from neighboring countries into the Northeast India should try and comprehend the ramifications of their false notion on CAB. He asserted that the Parliament will only act within the proposed draft submitted by the empowered Committee. Tokheho reminded that the Joint Parliamentary Committee on CAB 2016 was constituted of both Houses consisting of 30 members, 20 from Lok Sabha and 10 from Rajya Sabha, including the Congress. He said the JPC undertook three study visits to Jodhpur from December 18 to 20, 2016, Ahmedabad and Rajkot (from April 18 to 20, 2017) and Guwahati, Silchar and Shillong (from May 7 to 11, 2018) where informal discussions were held with migrants/NGOs/

public representatives and other stakeholders to obtain firsthand knowledge. In the 14 sittings of the JPC, Tokheho said the committee took evidence of the representatives from Home ministry, Law & Justice ministry (department of Legal Affairs and Legislative department) and External Affairs ministry on the various provisions of the Bill. In response to the queries of the JPC-- about the number of persons belonging to minority communities, who would benefit from the proposed Amendment on the basis of religious persecution, Tokheho said the Intelligence Bureau (IB) had informed them as follows: “As per our records, there are 31, 313 persons belonging to minority communities (Hindus- 25447, Sikhs- 5807, Christians- 55, Buddhists- 2 and Parsis-2) who have been given Long Term Visa on the basis of (Cont’d on p-8)

Citizenship Bill threat to existence of Nagas: ANCSU DIMAPUR, MAY 25 (NPN): All Nagaland College Students’ Union (ANCSU) Saturday maintained that the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) 2016 has “immeasurable threat” to the existence of Nagas. In a press release, ANCSU president Katho P Awomi general secretary Vimeyiekho Vitso said various political leaders of the state have “unwisely spoken” in favour of CAB, but young minds of the state clearly know that “this bill is catastrophe to the integrity of Nagas.” ANCSU said it was “extensively disturbed by the treacherous” CAB 2016, which it claimed was “not only against the interest of the whole NorthEast tribal citizens, but also an infringement to the peaceful co-existence of the region.” The union stated that the youths of the state have posed unflinching faith upon the lead-

ers over the years. However, it stated that “some egoistical political leaders” have taken the advantage even to the extent of “betraying the mandate of the youths and perhaps, even in a situation to compromise the safety of the Nagas just to please its leaders in return for personal benefits.” The union recalled that soon after the CAB was proposed, the Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) voiced out its opposition to the bill and ANCSU also fervently supported the movement. ANCSU has therefore appealed to the leaders to be the mouthpiece of Naga aspirations and “not a demon to Nagas.” The union also appealed to political/social leaders to restraint from “misleading the Nagas which may favour the CAB in action or otherwise as it may invite ugly retaliations towards any such betrayal.” K Y M C

Delivering the jubilee sermon, Rev. Dr Hevukhu

while emphasising on the jubilee theme quoted Bible verses from the Book of Psalms 96:3 and Leviticus 25:9, where believers have been called to spread the mission. He said the jubilee theme was appropriate as jubilee was considered a time of forgiveness and liberation. Dr Hevukhu said jubilee was also a time to make a firm conviction to spread the word of God As liberated people of Christ, Dr Hevukhu said those who are liberated from their sins should not only experience the grace of Christ but also advocate it so that others could be liberated. The speaker said Lord Jesus has called upon each

believer to live out God’s forgiveness of sins and that it was their mission to spread the marvellous deeds of God throughout the nations. Dr Hevukhu said mission is at the heart of the message of the Bible and that it was the responsibility of every believer and church to follow the Bible and spread the gospel of Christ. The executive secretary also encouraged the members of SBCD to be messengers of Christ and urged the church to press on the vital mission of spreading the gospel to non-believers. As SBCD celebrates golden jubilee, Dr Hevukhu said the church

has experienced the miraculous work of Christ in various ways and that now it was their responsibility to share the blessings and fruits of jubilee by spreading the mission across the world. The jubilee service was chaired by SBCD Associate Pastor Benjamin Aye with Golden Jubilee Planning Board (GJPB) secretary, Tohovi Kinimi as the recorder. The ser vice began with hymn song “jubilee year” followed by welcome address and introduction by GJPB chairman, L Tokishe Chishi. SBCD jubilee choir presented a song titled, “paju küvü sheshuni” while WSBAK women secretary, Kakheli Inato Jimo released the jubilee souvenir and memento. The offertory prayer was said by WSBPF president and Valley View Sümi Baptist Church Pastor Nikhui Achumi and the scripture from the Book of Psalms 96:1-4 and Psalms 118:23-24 was read out by SCBD Associate Pastor (Children) Tonili V Kinimi. The service concluded with a benediction by Dimapur Sümi Baptist Church Associate Pastor (Women) Khetoni Shikhu. The jubilee celebration would conclude on May 26 with a devotional service scheduled at 10 a.m. and thanks giving service at 4:30 p.m. at SBCD.

Khandu thanks people for reposing faith in his govt

Itanagar, May 25 (PTI): Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu Saturday thanked the people of the state for reposing faith in the policies and performance of his government and electing 41 BJP MLAs in the recently held state polls. The BJP won 41 seats in the 60-member Assembly while the Janata Dal (United) bagged seven, the National People’s Party (NPP) five, the Congress four, the People’s Party of Arunachal one and Independents two. Khandu, in a statement here, also thanked the people for electing two BJP MPs from the state with massive margins, “strengthening the hands of Prime Minister Narendra Modi”. “It is Narendra Modi’s good governance and policies that ignited minds of our people and they openly voted for development and voted for ‘Phir Ek Baar Modi Sarkar’,” he said. He dedicated the people’s massive mandate to party leaders and workers. He said the BJP’s ideology of development and strong leadership under Modi and party chief Amit Shah resulted in the Lok Sabha successes. “I and my colleagues realise that we have

been given a sacred duty of working tirelessly towards turning the aspirations of the people of the state into reality. Taking the goals of development to each and every section of society and every nook and corner of the state remains a big responsibility, we are committed to achieve this goal and transform Arunachal Pradesh in all spheres,” Khandu said. He vowed to continue working for Arunachal Pradesh with more vigour and dedication. “Good governance, systematic governance reforms, strong policy decisions and people-centric development agenda ensuring that development fruits reach the last man standing, bore fruits and people in large number voted for us,” the chief minister said. Congratulating all the winning candidates, Khandu said a strong, stable and committed government is in place now which would leave no stone unturned to ensure that the state achieves unprecedented heights of all-round development. “People’s mandate for development shall be our guiding light in all the policies of the new government,” the chief minister said.

Political shifts

olitical permutation in Nagaland has not been static but has shown frequent shifts through mergers (another name for defection) since 2003 and there likelihood of the syndrome manifesting in the coming days ahead. Presently, the major partner NDPP with 20 legislators heads the PDA alliance comprising of an independent and JD (U) along with 12 BJP legislators. The opposition NPF has 26 legislators but seven of them have been suspended and face disqualification proceedings for defying the party by supporting the ruling NDPP candidates for both the Lok Sabha election and assembly by-election. In practise, it means NPF has effectively 19 MLAs. In the post election scenario after results were declared, NPF led by former chief minister T.R. Zeliang hoped to rope in BJP to form the government even though BJP walked out of the DAN alliance and forged a pre-poll alliance with the newly formed NDPP led by Neiphiu Rio. Despite being the NDPP partner, there are speculations that BJP at the Centre would not be adverse to BJP-heading a coalition government in Nagaland. Such an event would be like an icing to the BJP since it would be a huge psychological boost in the North East. BJP heads a coalition government in Manipur, rules Arunachal Pradesh on its own and is a minor partner in Meghalaya while it is an important ally of the NDPP in Nagaland. To bolster its rank and discourage any power bid, NDPP engineered the merger of two NPP legislators to raise its tally to 19 (one sitting NDPP legislator passed away and the by-election was held on April 11). In politics there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies, only permanent interests. Therefore, in case BJP would like to launch its mission Nagaland, it would have to consider its options. However, in theory, the BJP with 12 MLAs cannot replace NDPP and therefore, would have to look somewhere for support and that can only come from the NPF. In such a scenario, there are speculations that the party would have to woo at least 18 or all of 19 MLAs from the NPF out of 26. This is still speculative but nevertheless not far from reality. Political observers believe that the NPF is vulnerable to poaching from both NDPP and BJP. As of today, seven rebel NPF legislators have made it clear that they would join NDPP and to prevent that the party organisation has moved for their disqualification. On the other hand, the remaining 19 MLAs may not be averse to joining hands with BJP to edge out NDPP from power. No legislator would like to remain out of power especially after having to spend so much to get elected. According to observers, the fate of the seven rebel NPF legislators would depend on various factors unless they decide to resign from the house and face an early by-election. Either way, observers opine that NPF will be the favoured party to prey upon in the post-Lok Sabha poll scenario. The mandate in terms of numbers was won by NPF but in parliamentary democracy, the largest party or alliance gets to form the government and in this case, the NDPP with 18 MLAs tipped the scales with the support of 12 BJP and four MLAs (one JD-U, Independent and two NPP). The next few weeks will indicate what will be the permutation.

DailyDevotion The Good or The Best? If you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left. —Genesis 13:9 As soon as you begin to live the life of faith in God, fascinating and physically gratifying possibilities will open up before you. These things are yours by right, but if you are living the life of faith you will exercise your right to waive your rights, and let God make your choice for you. God sometimes allows you to get into a place of testing where your own welfare would be the appropriate thing to consider, if you were not living the life of faith. But if you are, you will joyfully waive your right and allow God to make your choice for you. This is the discipline God uses to transform the natural into the spiritual through obedience to His voice. Whenever our right becomes the guiding factor of our lives, it dulls our spiritual insight. The greatest enemy of the life of faith in God is not sin, but good choices which are not quite good enough. The good is always the enemy of the best. In this passage, it would seem that the wisest thing in the world for Abram to do would be to choose. It was his right, and the people around him would consider him to be a fool for not choosing. Many of us do not continue to grow spiritually because we prefer to choose on the basis of our rights, instead of relying on God to make the choice for us. We have to learn to walk according to the standard which has its eyes focused on God. And God says to us, as He did to Abram, “…walk before Me…” (Genesis 17:1).

Winning the most difficult election

A

n epic electoral battle, which is the longest and largest in any working democracy of the world, was finally culminated with the electorates, comprising of mostly common people, handing over a decisive and much bigger mandate to the BJP led ruling NDA to rule the world largest democracy for another five years period. This election result, in effect, turned into a watershed moment in the history of post independent India’s electoral politics as the saffron party become the first non-congress ruling party to be re-elected for second successive term at the centre possessing the required number on its own as the pre-poll survey of the poll pundits predicting the possible return of coalition politics with weak and unstable government all went horribly wrong. What makes winning this very election the most difficult one in the world is the task before its stakeholders of containing the mood of the diverse Indians already polarized by ever flourishing narrow identity politics on the ground of religion, ethnicity, regionalism, caste etc... Surprisingly the party that was regarded as the party of right wing, elite upper caste Hindus, under the leadership of an OBC, could find a common political chord that could drew the attention and eventually the support of all sections of people, converting it to votes in their favour and achieved a landslide victory in this election. The single biggest challenge that confronted the ruling party in this election is the factor that poses to any incumbent regime in any working democracy – Anti-incumbency factor. This was the key factor that had brought the BJP to power in New Delhi in 2014 after one decade of UPA rule, aside

hildhood diarrhoeal disease continues to be one of the major killers among under five children in many states contributing to 10 percent of under five deaths in the country. Almost all the deaths due to diarrhoea can be averted by preventing and treating dehydration by the use of ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution) and administration of zinc tablets along with adequate nutritional intake by the children during diarrhoea. IDCF(Intensified Diarrhoea Control Fortnight) is being implemented for the last five years, reaching out to millions of children, with the ultimate of Zero child deaths due to diarrhoea.

from the popular “Modi’s wave” that was highly attributed to as the reason for its success. But case like India where the magnitude of politics ran so high, where it has to deal with the largest number of electorates in the world, that makes even more difficult for the ruling party to retain power in the country. It means that the party in power will be monitor and assess by more than 900 million citizens that will have a wide ranging opinions about its performance. This 900 million Indians represent 900 million different opinions about the performance of the ruling government, and there cannot be more difficult task for the party than to containing the opinions of its citizens that was at such a massive scale. What the BJP achieved was converting this election from what is supposed to be an anti-incumbency wave against the government to pro-incumbency and winning the election with a bigger margin as it was vindicated by the nature of the verdict. Propaganda was at work in this election in its worst form. From the communalism narrative, to corruption, where BBC was even alleged to have declared BJP as the most corrupt political party in the world, Balakot conspiracy theory, hurling of abuses with a “Chowkidar chor hai” slogan and claiming this election as perhaps the last chance to save India, these were some of the many propagandas that were used by the opposition parties against the ruling party in the absence of a clear cut political agenda to be presented to the nation on its part in its desperate attempt to capture power. In fact, in the post poll survey when all the major national TV channels began to projects the imminent victory of the BJP, many private groups/organizations continues to create their own

polls survey projecting heavy defeat for the BJP, and circulated it through internet and social media networking sites simply to refuse to accept the impending return of the BJP to power. BJP’s triumph is nothing short of a victory over a negative and opportunistic politics devoid of any vital political narrative in the possession of the opposition parties. The most defining characteristic of this poll verdict is the triumph of the aspirational politics over dynastic politics. The verdict exhibited the fact that Indian democracy no longer accept or recognised the reign of one family raj and that the road to political power is no longer through dynasty or association with one ruling family but only through performance (the classic Amethi rematch indeed produces a classic electoral lesson for India). Politics of performance is what will define Indian politics and decide any future elections that are now under the control of new generations Indians. The key take away of this election, which saw the advent and triumph of the aspirational politics, is the absence of the Ram temple movement’s era politicians. LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Vinay Katiyar and Uma Bhrati who were all sitting MPs and who led the temple movement that had its major shared role in steering the saffron party to its present height were kept out of this election which is the first of its kind for the party, who otherwise should be actively involved in ensuring the party’s return to power. In fact, the result trend shows that the BJP retain all the Lok Sabha seats currently held by the party veterans and being replaced by much younger leaders by big margins. Their absence from this election, where the party could win massively even without them,

mark not only the beginning of a generational shift within the saffron party but perhaps also indicated that the party had accept the fact that the temple politics no longer appeals to Indian voters, especially of the younger generation Indians. Meeting the aspirations of the millions of young Indians, setting aside the entire temple’s rhetoric or communal divisive politics, should be the new political formula for winning elections in this new India. Overall, the success of this election once again vindicated the success of India’s great democratic institution and the faith of the people in it. This success can be attributed to the active participation and cooperation from the common people (never forget that India is a land of common people, middle and lower classes where two-third of its population belongs to this class). And the successful conduct and the nature of the verdict reflect the trust of the common people in the country’s democratic institution. This group of common people, which forms the major groups of voters in India, are not an elites or intellectuals or parts of the luytens world. They are simple, common and ordinary Indians who are simply reposing their faith in Indian democracy by actively participating in one India’s election after another. The most difficult election is won, it’s time the new dispensation of New Delhi recognise and deliver the dreams and aspirations of this people and convert their regime to a common people’s friendly regime. And if government can achieve this, then it will be the ultimate triumph for India as a nation, a nation where a common people, representing diversity, can find refuge.

E

lections in Nagaland are decided (in descending order of importance) by money, muscle power, village/clan influence and the incumbency factor. But Parliamentary Polls in Nagaland are usually a foregone conclusion, with the incumbency factor being the most important, and Tribalism playing a minor, supporting role; so, whichever party is in power at the State is guaranteed a cakewalk victory. But last year’s by-polls to our lone Lok Sabha seat and this year’s election to the same, saw new issues being added to the equation; namely the Citizenship Amendment Bill and the Uniform Civil Code. These laws proposed by the B.J.P. would change the population demographic of the North-Eastern States, including Nagaland (despite the head in the sand mentality of Naga ostriches), and destroy Naga Customs and Traditions. Topped with the proven track record of religious intolerance and Christian persecution practised by the R.S.S./V.H.P./Bajrang Dal, of which the B.J.P. is the political party, it was a time for all Nagas to stand together to thwart this clear and present danger to our land, laws, religion and way of life. The by-polls were shrugged off because the winner had only some six odd months in office; but the just concluded Parliamentary Polls saw all these factors come into play. The level of awareness of educated Nagas versus the Naga frogs in wells was tested. That the frogs won can’t be helped; but the educated Naga can take pride in the fact that never was a Lok Sabha election so hotly contested, nor so closely lost. If some people can boast that their tribe and district gave a 60,000 vote lead to the N.D.P.P./B.J.P. Why can’t I boast that the majority of the people of Atoizu Constituency (a 100% Sumi Constituency) overcoming Tribalism, voted against a Sumi Candidate and in favour of an Ao candidate (in the Lok Sabha by-election)? Why can’t I boast that the people of Atoizu Constituency rejected Mr. K.L. Chishi in the Assembly Elections because he contested under the B.J.P. Party, but gave him an overwhelming majority in the Parliamentary Elections because he saw the error of his ways and contested under the Congress Party? All Nagas who voted Congress can take pride in having voted for the cause of religious freedom, diversity and federalism. We overcame the temptation of easy money and power; we fought against the incumbent Governments, both at the State and Centre, we fought to protect our God, our People, our Rights, our Land, our Customs and our Traditions. For, as important as victory is, it is more important what you fight for. Keep in mind that a battle is over but the war still rages on. “To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late; And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds; For the ashes of his fathers, And the temples of his gods.” God save Nagaland Kahuto Chishi Sumi, (Kahuto107@gmail.com)

Diarrhoea: Management and prevention

decided to implement IDCF from 28th May to 8th June 2019 to intensify efforts towards reducing deaths due to diarrhoea among under 5 children. During IDCF, several activities will be carried out which includes intensification of advocacy and awareness generation activities for diarrhoea management, strengthening service provision for diarrhoea case management, establishment of ORS-Zinc corners at Health facilities, distribution of ORS by ASHA to household with under five children and awareness generation activities for sanitation and hygiene. Types of diarrhoea in children? A C U T E D I AR -

RHOEA:: Is an episode of diarrhoea that lasts less than 14 days. Acute watery diarrhoea causes dehydration and contributes to malnutrition. The death of a child with acute diarrhoea is usually due to dehydration PERSISTENT DIARRHOEA:: If an episode of diarrhoea that lasts for 14 days or more. [Up to 20% of episodes of diarrhoea become persistent, and this often causes nutritional problems and contributes to death in children DYSENTERY:: Diarrhoea with blood in the stool, with or without mucus. Themost common cause of dysentery is Shigella bacteria. Amoebic dysentery is not common in young

children. A child may have both watery diarrhoea and dysentery. 1. What is Dehydration? Diarrhoea can be a serious problem – and even lead to death – if child becomes dehydrated. Dehydration is when the child loses too much water and salt from the body. This causes a disturbance of electrolytes, which can affect vital organs. A child who is dehydrated must be treated to help restore the balance of water and salt. Many cases of diarrhoea can be treated with Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS), a mixture of glucose and several salts. ORS and extra fluids can be used as home treatment to prevent

dehydration. Low osmolarity ORS should be used to treat dehydration. How to assess Dehydration? 1. Restless or irritable. 2. The eyes may look sunken 3. Skin loses elasticity and 4. If dehydration continues, the child becomes lethargic or unconscious. Key steps in managing diarrhoea in children 4 key interventions: Manage a case of childhood diarrhoea 1. Rehydrate the child with ORS solution (in case of no-dehydration breast feed the child frequently, ORS and clear fluid at home, in case of some dehydration

Nagaland had the best finale episode

don’t think it would be an understatement to say that the whole of Nagaland was in a shock. The results of the Lok Sabha elections kept almost everyone, even the disinterested individuals on an unconscious alert. It was a neck to neck competition between the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) and Nagaland Pradesh Congress Party where the prediction was in favor of the veteran Congress candidate. There seemed to be a general hope among the public that the erstwhile ruling party Congress would win this seat and tip the balance of power, however small, towards themselves. In what may be called the unexpected twist of the decade, the candidate from the ruling alliance NDPP won the Lok Sabha seat by around 17000 votes. This is the least margin between the winning and opposing candidate as compared to the last two Lok Sabha elections where the

Atoizu, hats off!

margin was about four lakh votes. However, the voter turnout was the lowest for this LS election compared to the last LS elections. What does that speak of ? The closing of gap in the difference of votes between the two candidates despite the low voter turnout could be an indicator that there is no more tolerance for a party majoritarian in the state unlike the other two elections where the then ruling party, Nagaland People’s Front (NPF) was a one party force. The fact that the state ruling party NDPP is in alliance with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the ruling party at the centre shows how unguided and unprincipled the politics in our state is. What example is the NDPP showing in a state like ours when they join hands with a party that has created nothing but havoc in the last five years by emphasising on divisive policies of nationalism, patriotism and com-

munalism? Hopefully, this is not the kind of ideology the NDPP wants in the form of regionalism, tribalism and classism. Actually, by joining forces with BJP that has centered the development of the nation around religious ideology (Hindutva), the NDPP seems to be laughing on the state’s own double standards in revoking dirty politics with Christianity. Clean campaign elections? How far has that worked for the state? How do you teach or inculcate integrity among the Nagas when the ones who come to power has one that is close to zero or even minus. If you can compromise on your ideals and values for coming to power through a party that is the anti-thesis of what you stand for (Leaving aside differences in secular ideals, Citizen Amendment Bill, anyone?), I guess it speaks a lot about you and your integrity. The real question is who is really losing out on their integrity? The

NDPP for coming in power through BJP or the people who voted for the NDPP in the recent Lok Sabha election despite knowing who compromised on what. Or is it that the people of Nagaland has never even gave a thought to it? The disappointing results in the general elections and the state election could only mean one thing, and that too a logical one at that. The time has come for the voice of dissent to be louder not only in the country but more so in our own home state. There is no logical explanation for what has happened because there is no logic to it. Money speaks? Lack of better knowledge? Foresight? Hindsight?..... You can say it better. The time is now. One last thing, it is a good initiative to start from the church but first, start from your home. Suneptula Jamir, (suneptulasupong@gmail.com)

MP ‘Gau rakshaks’ violence: Two attacked, five arrested

Still from video of attack from Gau Rakshaks.

Seoni/Bhopal, May 25 (PTI): Suspected cow vigilantes thrashed two persons in Madhya Pradesh’s Seoni with sticks, accusing them of carrying beef, following which five accused have been arrested, police said Saturday. The group of five ‘gau rakshaks’ also allegedly forced one of the victims to beat up a woman accompanying them with chappals, a police officer said. Police said that the three persons who were beaten up were arrested on May 22 as possession, transportation or sale of beef is illegal in Madhya Pradesh. In a purported video clip of the incident, which has been widely circulated on social media, the five accused can be seen beating up the two men. Later, the assailants

also forced one of the men to beat up the woman accompanying them. The attackers also forced one of them to raise slogans of ‘Jai Sri Ram’, as seen in the video. According to police, the incident occurred on May 22 on Mandla Road under Dunda Seoni police station limits. Seoni Superintendent of Police Lalit Shakyawar said an FIR has been registered against the five persons at Dunda Seoni police station, and all of them have been arrested. Shakyawar said that police received information that some persons had uploaded a video of the attack on social media on May 23. “Police took cognisance immediately and got the video removed from these social media platforms. Later, a police

team arrested all the five attackers after identifying them,” he said. The accused have been booked under sections 341 (wrongful restraint), 294 (obscene act), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), and 34 (act done by several persons with common intention) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and under Arms Act. The SP said police seized 140 kg red meat, suspected to be beef, from the trio. Police also seized a three-wheeler and a scooter from them. The trio, who have been booked under the Madhya Pradesh Govansh Vadh Pratishedh Adhiniyam, were produced before a local court on May 23 which sent them to judicial custody. Meanwhile, the court of judicial magistrate in Seoni Saturday remanded the five suspected cow vigilantes in judicial remand, Shakyawar added. Dunda Seoni police station in-charge GS Uike said the three persons who were beaten up did not sustain any serious injuries in the attack. “The accused persons shot videos of the thrashing. Police reached the spot after the incident and brought the trio along with the meat they were carrying to the police station,” he said.

tions, resolutions were adopted to protect the people and the state. Despite both Nagaland Congress and NPF choosing to stay away from the meeting, Thokeho said they now continue to speak about CAB to confuse the people. Rejecting NPCC president’s presumptions once CAB is passed, Thokeho reiterated that there is no way ‘crores’ of people will be given Indian citizenship. In this regard, Thokeho urged NPCC president to not speculate and misguide the Nagas as to what will happen in a decade without ascertaining the facts. “As long as Nagaland state has Article 371A, no outsiders can come and stay in our houses and lands without giving them the right to do so,” he stated.

Hence, these persons will be immediate beneficiaries.” On the query of those people belonging to minority communities who have come to India from the three countries under reference due to religious persecution but have not declared so at the time of their arrival in India, the IB stated that: “For other to apply for Indian Citizenship under this category, they will have to prove that they came to India due to religious persecution. If they have not declared so at the time of their arrival in India, it would be difficult for them to make such a claim now.

Any future claim will be enquired into, including through R&AW before a decision is taken.” Tokheho pointed out that the Citizenship issue was brought to the house in 2016, however the matter was referred back to the committee for further amendment. As two Congress MPs from Assam-Bhubaneswar Kalita (Rajya Sabha) and Sushmita Dev (Lok Sabha) were also part of the JPC, Thokeho asked the NPCC president to seek the details of CAB drafts presented by his party colleagues.

dation in the public-sector banking space, which was put off due to general election, is back for evaluation. The government has been weighing the possibility of amalgamating Punjab National Bank (PNB) with Oriental Bank of Commerce (OBC) and some other small lenders. Proposals to help boost the flow of funds into the start-up space and also set up a fund for startups, with an initial corpus of `1,000 crore, will be considered. The agriculture export policy will be further fine-tuned to address farm distress by raising incentives for exports. Even the export regime for some of the key commodities (ranging from grains to cotton) that still face risks of curbs will be re-evaluated. Also, the procurement policies for various crops, including PM-Aasha, will be reviewed, as the government intends to walk the talk on ensuring farmers a 50% profit over their costs. Even the crop insurance scheme could be appropriately tweaked to address farmers’ concern better, although it’s not an immediately priority. “The idea is to boost farm income and help the unorganised component of the economy create jobs,” said a senior government official.

There were specific discussions on what parts of the BJP manifesto the finance ministry is expected to roll out and implement,” he added.

NEW DELHI, MAY 25 (AGENCIES): Finance Minister Arun Jaitley held a meeting on Friday with top bureaucrats of the finance ministry, asking them to expedite plans for the first Budget of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government’s second tenure, scotching rumours of his ill health.

NEW DELHI, MAY 25 (AGENCIES): As Narendra Modi braces for a second term, his government will likely consider a clutch of proposals over the next 100 days to complete unfinished goals of fine-tuning reforms like the IBC, spurring private investments, reversing a slowdown in consumption, creating jobs and fixing farm policies. Sources told Financial Express (FE) that immediately after assuming office, the new Modi-led Cabinet will weigh a proposal to amend the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) to bring in a “cross-border insolvency” framework and enable lenders to access foreign assets of a stressed firm. The insolvency regulator will also come up with “individual insolvency” regulations to facilitate a debt relief up to `35,000 to the poorest of the poor. The government could also use its clout to impress on adjudicating or appellate authorities to speed up the disposal of insolvency cases and spare the lenders of the cost of delays, said one of the sources. The Essar Steel case, for instance, has been dragging on for more than two years now, even though the IBC stipulates resolution within a maximum of nine months.

Race to replace May as UK PM begins

Health Secretary Matt Hancock confirms he’s standing to replace Theresa May.

L o n d o n, M ay 2 5 (IANS): The race to succeed Theresa May as the new British Prime Minister has begun with Tory leadership contenders clashing over Brexit. UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock, 40, become the latest Cabinet minister on Saturday to declare his intentions to stand for the Conservative leadership after May’s resignation. Hancock joins a long list of prominent Conservatives vying for the party leadership -- and, by default, the country --

including former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, International Development Secretary Rory Stewart, party leader Andrea Leadsom and former Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab. Foreign Secretar y Jeremy Hunt and former Work and Pensions Secretary Esther McVey have also confirmed their intentions to stand, the BBC reported. Despite May’s troubles in winning over enough MPs for her Brexit deal, Hancock told Radio 4’s Today programme that a

Pakistan PM warns against war in the region ISLAMABAD, May 25 (Agencies): Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan warned against the risk of conflict in the region, following a visit to Islamabad by Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif as tensions between Washington and Tehran escalated. Strains have increased between Iran and the United States, which is a firm backer of Tehran’s regional rival Saudi Arabia, in the wake of this month’s attack on oil tankers in the Gulf region that Washington has blamed on Iran. Tehran has distanced itself from the bombings, but the United States has sent a aircraft carrier and an extra 1,500 troops to the Gulf,

sparking concerns about the risks of conflict in a volatile region. Khan, who has been seeking to improve Pakistan’s strained relations with neighbour Iran, said he was concerned about the “rising tensions in the Gulf ”, but did not specifically name the United States or Saudi Arabia. “He underscored that war was not a solution to any problem,” Khan’s office said in a statement late on Friday, citing the premier. “Further escalation in tensions in the already volatile region was not in anyone’s interest. All sides needed to exercise maximum restraint in the current situation.”

majority of the Commons wanted to leave the European Union, but there had been “disagreements on how”. He said May’s successor must be “brutally honest” about the “tradeoffs” required to get a deal through Parliament. Rejecting the suggestions for general elections, he said it would be “a disaster for the country” and would risk “Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn by Christmas”. Hancock also said the party needed a “leader for the future, not just for now”, capable of appealing to younger voters. “We need to move on from the horrible politics of the last three years. We need a fresh start and a fresh face to ensure that this country wins the battles of the 2020s and remains prosperous for many years to come.” T h e C o n s e r va t ive Party bosses expect a new leader to be chosen by the end of July. May said on Friday she would resign as the party leader on June 7, but will continue as the

Prime Minister while the leadership contest takes place. Stewart urged politicians to tell the truth about where they stood on Brexit and suggested, for that reason, he could not serve in a Cabinet under Johnson. Johnson told an economic conference in Switzerland on Friday a new leader would have “the opportunity to do things differently”. “We will leave the EU on October 31, deal or no deal. The way to get a good deal is to prepare for a no deal.” Most bookmakers have Johnson as favourite against Dominic Raab and Michael Gove, who are yet to declare their plans. Work and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd has ruled herself out, saying the party and the country wants “someone who is more enthusiastic about Brexit than I am”. Tory MPs have until the week, starting June 10, to put their names forward and any of them can stand -- as long as they have the backing of two parliamentary colleagues.

8 injured in explosion in French city Paris, May 25 (IANS): An explosion of a parcel bomb wounded at least eight people in the central French city of Lyon on Friday afternoon, regional authorities said. “Explosion in Lyon.... Perimeter of security put in place. For your safety avoid the area,” prefecture of Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes et du Rhone said in a Twitter message. “First casualties: eight slightly wounded,” it added. The explosion took place at around 5:40 p.m. local time on a pedestrian street in the second district of Lyon, state-run France info radio reported. Citing the Interior Ministry, it added the blast was due to suspected package bomb. President Emmanuel Macron called the incident as “an attack”. “There was an attack in Lyon, everyone knows ... At this stage, there is no victim. There are wounded (people), so I want to have a thought for the wounded and their families, of course,” he was quoted as saying by local media.

US will send 1,500 more troops to Middle East: Donald Trump

Washington, May 25 (AFP): The United States said it was deploying 1,500 additional troops to the Middle East to counter “credible threats” from Iran in a move denounced by Tehran on Saturday as “a threat to international peace”. The escalation of the US military presence follows a decision in early May to send an aircraft carrier strike force and B-52 bombers in a show of force against what Washington’s leaders believed was an imminent Iranian plan to attack US assets. And it comes as the Trump administration is planning to bypass congressional restrictions to sell arms to Saudi Arabia, a close US ally and Iran’s arch-enemy in the region. “This is a prudent response to credible threats from Iran,” acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan said Friday. President Donald Tr ump, who approved the deployment, called it “protective.” “We want

Donald Trump (File)

to have protection in the Middle East,” Trump told reporters. “We’re going to be sending a relatively small number of troops, mostly protective,” Trump added. “It’ll be about 1,500 people.” The new deployment includes reconnaissance aircraft, fighter jets and engineers. Six hundred of the personnel belong to a Patriot missile defense battalion that had its deployment in the region extended. Pentagon officials said the move was necessary after multiple threatening actions and several small-in-scope attacks in May by Iranian forces, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, and “proxy” forces. Iran has denied in-

volvement in any of the attacks. “A m e r i c a n s m a k e such claims to justify their hostile policies and to create tension in the Persian Gulf,” Zarif said. The initial threat came at the beginning of May, according to Rear Admiral Michael Gilday, director of the Pentagon’s Joint Staff. The US caught the IRGC attempting to covertly deploy “modified dhows capable of launching cruise missiles,” he said, referring to small traditional boats. “We view this as a campaign,” Gilday told reporters. The moves “are all part of a dangerous and escalatory strategy by Iran to threaten global trade and to destabilize the region.” “We believe with a high degree of confidence that this stems back to the leadership of Iran at the highest levels, and that all of the attacks... have been attributed to Iran through their proxies or their forces,” Gilday said, citing stillsecret US intelligence.

Venezuelan prison clashes leave at least 29 inmates dead

C a r ac a s, M ay 2 5 (AFP): At least 29 prisoners were killed and 19 police wounded in clashes at a jail in western Venezuela Friday, authorities said. The incident at the police station jail in the town of Acarigua, in Portuguesa state, occurred when police special forces (FAES) tried to stop a “massive prison break” which resulted in the deaths of 29 inmates, according to Portuguesa public security secretary Oscar Valero. The prisoners received

the officers with “a hail of gunfire” while detonating three grenades, which injured 19 police, Valero told reporters. The Una Ventana a la Libertad NGO, which defends prisoner rights, gave a preliminary toll of 25 dead. NGO director Carlos Nieto said the clashes broke out when the FAES attempted to rescue visitors who had been taken hostage Thursday by the “pran” -- the leader of the inmates -- at the jail.

“This morning (authorities) sent the FAES and there was a clash. The detainees had weapons, they shot at the police. Apparently they also detonated two grenades,” Nieto told AFP. The inmates’ leader, Wilfredo Ramos, was one of those killed, according to an internal police report. The report, quoted by the NGO, said several officers were wounded by “shrapnel and explosives.” The prisons ministry did not comment on the in-

cident, saying police station jails are not under its control. A video shared on social media shows an inmate -- believed to be Ramos -with his face partly covered while brandishing a pistol and what appears to be grenades, and threatening two women. “It’s our lives (on the line) and those of the visitors here,” he says, as a woman pleads for help, while warning the police to stay out because “I’m prepared to die.” Nieto said

the inmates were demanding “food and to be transferred to prisons,” and had denounced police “abuses.” No information was given about the fate of the hostages. Violence is a problem in such detention facilities, where inmates are supposed to be held for a maximum of 48 hours, Una Ventana a la Libertad said. There are around 500 of them in the country, holding 55,000 people even though their total capacity is just 8,000, the NGO

added. The Acarigua jail has capacity for 60 inmates but was holding 500, according to the police report. These provisional detention centers “are not suitable to hold inmates for more than 48 hours,” said Nieto. He said the prison system as a whole is “chaotic” and blamed the prisons ministry for “not fulfilling its functions.” Venezuela has one of the worst records for prison violence in the region.

The world’s most expensive fruits

W

e don’t usually think about fruit being that expensive. In fact, I can typically find a banana for less than a dollar in most places! Fruit is meant to be a good part of a balanced diet, so even if you do end up spending a few bucks more on your favorite fruit, at least it’s for a worthy cause. Even something like pineapples, a tropical fruit which can only be grown in certain climates, are still easy to find almost anywhere. Thanks to mass production, even after shipping costs they still won’t end up being too costly. But what if I told you there was a certain type of pineapple that is worth thousands of dollars? To b e f a i r, t h a t wouldn’t be too far off from how things were a few centuries ago. To put things into perspective, let’s take a step back in time! In the 1700’s, pineapples used to be a status symbol of wealth. This was because they weren’t grown

in Europe, so when world explorers brought back this rare and exotic new fruit, supply was low and demand was high. In those days, one pineapple would cost today’s equivalent to $8,000 dollars! Of course, pineapples are now easily acquired, even by us average folks, and the symbol is gone. However, there are still a few pineapples with a hefty price tag on them. At the Lost Gardens of Heligan in the United Kingdom, you’ll find pineapples grown in mud structures heated with rotting manure. But don’t worry – the pineapples never actually come into contact with the manure.

The odd strategies used here are reflective of older techniques in order to grow this tropical fruit in a colder climate. In fact, the structure these rare pineapples are grown in was unearthed in 1991 and renovated just two years later to a working state. Well technically, these special pineapples aren’t even on the market – so they’re priceless. However with the manpower over the course of the 2 years it takes to grow a pineapple, the cost to make each pineapple is $1,300. So if they’re not for sale, where do they go? The successfully grown pineapples go right back to the staff who grew them as

an appreciation for growing them in the first place. But, one of the pineapples has been given away. The second pineapple ever grown in the Lost Gardens was gifted to Queen Elizabeth II in honor of her 50th wedding anniversary. If that’s what it takes to get your hand on one of these Victorian-grown pineapples, I wouldn’t hold your breath! If one of these elusive pineapples were to go up for auction or sale, due to the rarity, ancient technique, time spent growing, and manual labor, these pineapples are worth $16,000! Although you’ll probably never be able to taste one for yourself, staff describes the taste as “deliciously sweet, not stringy, and with an explosive flavor.” On the plus side, at least the legacy of these pineapples will make us appreciate the lowly cost of our standard Dole pineapples at the grocery store!

The iconic band took to the stage for their first performance here on Friday. The band, consisting of Emma Bunton, 43, Geri Horner, 46, Mel B, 43, and Mel C, 45, delighted the crowd of around 58,000 fans with a medley of their greatest hits, and Geri even paid homage to her iconic Union Jack dress with a red and blue renaissance-style gown. While many fans took to Twitter to share their excitement about attending the concert, others were quick to share their disappointment as sound problems inside the stadium meant they were unable to hear the show, and one fan even claimed they saw “huge numbers” walking out of the show, reports dailymail.co.uk.

Afghanistan players celebrate after taking a wicket during their warm-up match.

England this month, continued his excellent form with the bat ahead of the World Cup by scoring 112 off 108 balls but his team were restricted to a below-par 262 in 47.5 overs. Afghanistan spinners Mohammad Nabi (3-46) and Rashid Khan (2-27) then choked the Pakistan batsmen to lay the foundation for a famous win while pacer DawlatZadran claimed two wickets, including that of the dangerous Azam. “Not enough runs on the board. (We were) 15-20 runs short and we didn’t start well with the ball, that’s why we lost,” Pakistan skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed said. “It’s very tough if we’re losing matches. I tell my boys to back themselves... we’ll do well soon. Our batsmen are in good nick... but we need to work on our bowling.” Zazai attacked the Pakistan bowlers after opening

partner Shahzad retired hurt on 23 with a left knee problem. The 21-year-old smashed eight fours and two sixes in his 28-ball 49 before being caught at mid-wicket off Shadab Khan’s bowling. Shahidi then anchorws the innings to perfection with a patient knock that included seven boundaries to secure a famous victory.

L o n d o n, M ay 2 5 (Agencies): Test captain Joe Root says Eoin Morgan’s success as England’s one-day skipper is built on the trust and responsibility he’s invested in his players. Morgan was handed the one-day captaincy a matter of months before England’s disastrous 2015 Cricket World Cup campaign but since then has steered the side to top spot in the rankings, making them favourites ahead of this summer’s tournament which begins on Thursday. Speaking to Ian Ward for our show ‘Joe Root: The Summer Ahead’ Morgan sustained a finger injury in training on Friday - Root described the Dubliner as “brilliant”. “He’s never wavered from how he wants us to go about things. When we’ve got it wrong he’s made sure that we’ve learnt but we’ve stuck to our mantra and how we want to approach one-day cricket,” Root said. “He and Trevor [Bayliss] have a brilliant dynam-

ic that works very well and he’s very good at getting the best out of his players. He’s put a lot of trust in guys and given them a lot of responsibility and that has been paid back in kind.” “Look at someone like Jason [Roy] who really struggled throughout the Champions Trophy tournament; he’s now probably playing the best cricket that we’ve seen in an England shirt. At no point was he put to one side. We know this guy is going to be a serious England player and, similarly, someone like Jonny [Bairstow] as well; he had to wait for his opportunity and now you are seeing us reap the rewards so it’s great that he’s put that much trust in the group and in the players around him.” “I think the guys are really grateful and the reason we’ve had so much success is because we’ve had the same group there for a long time; we know how each other works and how to get the best out of each other.”

Boulter withdraws from French Open

Paris, May 25 (Agencies): British No 3 Katie Boulter has withdrawn from the French Open after aggravating a back injury. The 22-year-old suffered the problem whilst playing for Great Britain in their historic Fed Cup victory against Kazakhstan in April. Boulter was drawn against 23rd seed Donna Vekic from Croatia but arrived in Paris on Friday to pull out of the tournament. Her inclusion raised eyebrows due to previously being ruled out for the whole clay season but a social media video of herself on Thursday at the National

Katie Boulter

Tennis Centre hinted that she could return. By withdrawing on site, Boulter was able to collect half the prize money she would have earned for a first-round defeat, approximately £20,000. This rule was introduced at grand slams last year to prevent players with an injury retiring during their first-round match in order to collect their appear-

ance fee. She was due to make her first appearance at Roland Garros after her fine form in the past year allowed her to gain automatic qualification to the tournament. Boulter wrote on Twitter: “So disappointed to have to pull out of the French Open. I was still hoping to have a chance of competing but doctors have advised me not to take a risk with my back. Can’t wait to get back on court soon.” Johanna Konta will be the only British female in the main draw at Roland Garros after both Katie Swan and Heather Watson crashed out in qualifying.

PSG finish season on sour note Monaco salvage Ligue 1 status

PSG’s Kylian Mbappe in action during their Ligue 1 match against Reims.

Paris, May 25 (Agencies): Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain ended the season on a disappointing note as they were beaten 3-1 at Reims on Friday. PSG wrapped up the league title over a month ago, but a run of three wins in nine in all competitions – a stretch that included a Coupe de France final loss to Rennes – had put a slight dampener on their campaign even before they arrived at a raucous Stade Auguste-Delaune. Reims were good value for their two-goal lead with strikes from Baba Rahman and Mathieu Cafaro either side of half-time, although Kylian Mbappe brought the visitors back into contention in the 59th minute. But PSG mustered little more without the suspended Neymar and substi-

tute Pablo Chavarria scored an opportunistic third in second-half stoppage time to compound their misery. Reims seized control midway through the first half and superb work from Cafaro teed up Remi Oudin to thunder straight at Gianluigi Buffon, before a first-time Moussa Doumbia curler clipped the crossbar. The opener deservedly followed in the 36th minute when lax defending from Thomas Meunier allowed Rahman in to slide a finish through Buffon’s legs from a tight angle. PSG were initially much improved after the break and Thilo Kehrer glanced a header wide, but Reims retained a threat on the break and doubled their lead when Cafaro drove a fierce strike past Buffon’s flimsy right hand in the 56th

minute. Although Mbappe responded quickly by turning Edinson Cavani’s header across the line at close range, the champions could not build any momentum and were picked off in the fourth minute of added time. Chavarria, who had been sent on for Cafaro, was given the freedom of the PSG half after chasing down Rahman’s long ball and calmly slotted past a stranded Buffon. PSG have made a habit of dominating in France while faltering in Europe, but even their domestic form tailed off in 2018-19. The champions looked to have stopped the rot with back-to-back wins against Angers and Dijon, yet they were completely outplayed on Friday

M o n a c o s a l va ge d their Ligue 1 place despite losing 2-0 at Nice on Friday in the final game of a season in which they were always in danger of going down, while Caen were relegated. The result left Monaco in 17th place with 36 points, two ahead of Dijon, who will play RC Lens in a promotion/relegation playoff after beating Toulouse 2-1 at home. Caen will join alreadyrelegated basement side En Avant Guingamp in Ligue 2 next season after a 1-0 home loss to Girondins de Bordeaux left them second from bottom on 33 points. Monaco started against Nice at the Allianz Riviera with a better goal difference (-17 to -24) than Caen, the only team who could catch them, but fell behind against the run of play. Monaco’s Benoit Badiashile deflected a Youcef Atal cross into his own net in the 36th minute to give Nice the lead and Mickael Le Bihan made it 2-0 after the break with a penalty. With all the Champions League and Europa League qualifying spots having already been decided last weekend, secondplaced Lille lost 3-1 at Stade Rennes and Olympique Lyonnais, who are third, grabbed a 3-2 comeback victory at Nimes.

Man City hopeful on Sane deal Lo n do n, M ay 2 5 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : M a n chester City are planning to hold talks with the representatives of winger Leroy Sane in the coming days in the hope of securing him to a new contract. The Germany international has two years remaining on his current deal at the Etihad Stadium and has recently attracted interest from Bayern Munich. City remain hopeful of convincing Sane to sign an extension and will attempt to reach an agreement during the talks. Bayern are looking for replacements for Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, both of whom are leaving the club after Saturday’s German Cup final against RB Leipzig. When asked if Bayern were interested in signing Sane, the Bundesliga club’s president Uli Hoeness said: “Yes, we are dealing with that name at the moment.” The 23-year-old joined City from Schalke for £37m in 2016 and has helped Pep Guardiola’s side win back-to-back Premier League titles over the past two seasons. Sane scored 16 goals in 47 matches during the 2018/19 campaign as City became the first English club to complete the domestic treble after winning the League Cup and FA Cup as well as the Premier League.

Hamilton snatches Monaco GP pole

Lewis Hamilton

M o n a c o, M ay 2 5 (Agencies): Lewis Hamilton has edged Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas to pole position for the Monaco Grand Prix as Daniel Ricciardo qualified seventh. Hamilton got the job done by 0.086s while Max Verstappen was the best of the rest for Red Bull Racing at 0.475s off the pace. Sebastian Vettel twice bumped the fence on his way to qualifying fourth, but his last-ditch effort to get out of Q1 came at the expense of Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc, who is due to start 16th in his home town. Pierre Gasly is fifth in the second of the Red Bulls but faces an investigation after an incident with Romain Grosjean during Q2. The latter’s Haas teammate, Kevin Magnussen, gained a position after the chequered flag to push Ricciardo back to the fourth row in the only Renault to make the final stanza of

qualifying. Bottas reeled out a 1:10.252s on his first flyer in Q3 and almost matched that next time around, as Hamilton moved to second position at 0.231s off the pace with his second timed lap after a messy run on his first. Verstappen sat third with a 1:10.641s, from Vettel, Gasly, and Magnussen, with Ricciardo 10th having not set a time at that point. Vettel touched the barrier at Tabac in the final minute and while he pressed on for another lap, there was no improvement from the German. Neither Bottas nor Verstappen could find more time either, but Hamilton did when he clocked a 1:10.166s just before the chequers for his first pole position since the season-opener at Albert Park. “This is a race that every driver dreams of, from being a kid,” said the

Briton. “It doesn’t matter how many times you come here, it’s still a dream, you still put absolutely everything you’ve got.” Bottas felt that he could have been on pole having not been satisfied with his first flyer before encountering traffic on his second run. “I’m disappointed,” he declared. Ricciardo’s deficit to pole at the end was 1.052s, with the top 10 rounded out by Daniil Kvyat (Scuderia Toro Rosso), Carlos Sainz (McLaren), and Alexander Albon (Toro Rosso). Renault’s Nico Hulkenberg was first on the outside in Q2 after Magnussen elevated himself from the drop at the end. Also knocked out were Lando Norris (McLaren), Romain Grosjean (Haas), and the Alfa Romeos of Kimi Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinazzi.

on Police Chelsea want £130m for Hazard Djokovic confident of historic second Slam sweep Meeting Games 2019 held

Paris, May 25 (Agencies): Novak Djokovic believes that his 2016 achievement of holding all four Grand Slam titles at the same time is the perfect playbook for a repeat performance at Roland Garros as he tries to become just the second man to complete the feat. The world number one heads into the French Open with Wimbledon, the US Open and Australian Open titles already under his belt. Victory in the June 9 final in Paris would allow him to join Rod Laver as the only other man to hold all the four majors at the same time twice. “There is an extra motivation and incentive to win Roland Garros because of the opportunity to hold all four Slams, something I did three years ago,” said the 32year-old on Friday. “That gives me obviously enough reason to believe I can do it again.” Old rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal may have more career majors

Lionel Messi is Europe’s top scorer

Lionel Messi

BARCELONA, May 25 (Agencies): Lionel Messi has become the first player to win Europe’s Golden Shoe award for three straight years after his nearest challenger Kylian Mbappe failed to score the four goals he needed in Paris St Germain’s final league match of the season on Friday. Messi earned the honour, which goes to the leading scorer in league matches

in Europe’s top divisions, for a record-extending sixth time after finding the net 36 times for Barcelona, while Mbappe ended the campaign on 33 goals after scoring PSG’s only goal in a 3-1 loss at Stade de Reims. While Messi’s goal haul helped his side clinch the La Liga title last month the 31-year-old Argentine said earlier on Friday that he was not giving the Golden

Shoe race much thought with the side still coming to terms with their Champions League semi-final elimination to Liverpool. “I haven’t been thinking about that prize at all, we are still coping with what happened against Liverpool and I’m not thinking about personal awards,” Messi told a news conference ahead of Saturday’s Copa del Rey final against Valencia.

- 20 and 17 respectively to Djokovic’s 15 - but neither of them have managed even one private sweep, let alone two. However, Djokovic’s potential date with destiny would have appeared to be fantasy 12 months ago. In Paris in 2018, Djokovic, still recovering from elbow surgery, crashed to a shock quarter-final loss to world number 72 Marco Cecchinato from Italy. The defeat saw him slip out of the top 20 for the first time in over a decade and briefly had him contemplating skipping Wimbledon. That threat was soon retracted and he went on to win the next three majors, a performance which has put him on the brink of history. Victory in two weeks’ time would also move him halfway to emulating Laver’s feat of calendar Grand Slams in 1962 and 1969. “I hold three Slams, am world number one. Obviously it’s quite a different feeling approaching the tournament, with more confidence,

DDCA U-19 cricket tournament Dimapur, May 25 (NPN): Dimapur District Cricket Association (DDCA) will be conducting under 19 cricket tournament for selection of district team at NCA Stadium, Sovima by first week of June. Therefore interested higher secondary schools, collages, clubs have been informed to contact DDCA official Choba Lotha. Application for participation, addressed to DDCA president, can be sent to 7005204405 on whatsapp before May 30. All players should produce original birth certificate, Adhar Card and two passport size photos, informed NCA. Players should be born between 1/9/2000 and 31/8/2003 and should have birth certificates issued before being admitted to school. All matches will be played in white cricket dress.

and hopefully I can have a good two weeks,” he said. Despite his optimism, however, Djokovic prefers to pile the pressure of expectation onto the shoulders of 11-time Roland Garros champion Nadal. Nadal defeated the Serb in the Italian Open final last weekend, a performance which led Djokovic to anoint the Spaniard as the man to beat in Paris. “He’s the main favourite to win the title,” said Djokovic who remains just one of two men to have beaten the Spaniard on the Roland Garros clay in 14 years. “It wouldn’t be fair to pick anybody else but him as the main favourite, because he has won this tournament so many times. “He has lost two times in his career on Parisian clay. So lots of respect for him, obviously, as always.” Djokovic starts his bid for a second Roland Garros title and 16th major against Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz, the world number 43.

D i m a p u r , M ay 2 5 (NPN): As a prelude to 38th Nagaland Police Games and Duty Meet 2019, a meeting of senior officers and unit commanders was held at the Rhododendron Hall, Police Complex, Chumukedima. The meeting was convened by TJ Longkumer, IPS, DGP Nagaland Police wherein, all present were encouraged to live up to the reputation of being excellent hosts and outstanding event managers. The DGP also urged all present to think out of the box and explore leadership qualities. The meet should be a platform to hone skills and techniques, and also be a stage to set excellent benchmarks, said the DGP. The afternoon session was convened by Mesangla Longkumer, president, Nagaland Police Family Welfare wherein issues pertaining to involvement and participation in the Nagaland Police Meet 2019 and other family welfare activities was deliberated in detail.

Eden Hazard

L o n do n, M ay 2 5 (Agencies): Chelsea want £130m for Eden Hazard, it is understood. Real Madrid value the Belgium international at no more than €100m (£88m) due to the fact that he is entering the final 12 months of his contract at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea are under no pressure to sell and negotiations over a proposed deal are being handled by Blues director Marina Granovskaia. Hazard revealed earlier this month that he had made a decision on his future and expected it to be resolved following the Europa League final against Arsenal on

Wednesday. Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri, who will also have talks over his future following the game in Baku, insisted the club needed to “respect” the decision Hazard has made about his future. Hazard, who turned 28 in January, signed for Chelsea from French side Lille in 2012 for £32m and has since scored 108 goals in 351 appearances. During his seven years with the west London club, Hazard has won the Premier League twice (2015 & 2017) as well as enjoying success in the Europa League (2013), the League Cup (2015) and FA Cup (2018).

Mourinho undecided on next managerial role

M o nac o, M ay 2 5 (Agencies): Jose Mourinho is yet to decide where to continue his managerial career but admits he “cannot be emotional” when choosing his next destination. Mourinho is at the Monaco Grand Prix this we e k e n d , w h e r e S k y Sports F1 reporter Natalie Pinkham asked him what the future holds for him and what his next move will be. The 56-year-old was relieved of his duties as Manchester United manager in December and has since been linked with a return to Inter Milan, where he famously won the treble in 2010. Juventus, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain were also mooted as potential destinations, but the French champions have since extended Thomas Tuchel’s contract while Real opted to appoint Zinedine Zidane in March.

Jose Mourinho

When asked about his future on Saturday, Mourinho told Sky Sports, “I don’t know, honestly I don’t know. The only thing

that I know is that I cannot be emotional.” “I have to be rational. I have not to choose just because I want to work

and I am desperate to work - I have to choose because it is the right project for me, the right motivation for me.” “I want to become stronger than ever. I’m studying a lot, I am working a lot with my staff to be a great team as a coaching staff and to be ready to do it again big. So, I have to think. We will think and analyse and make the right decision.” Mourinho was also asked who he thought would win next weekend’s all-English semi-final between Liverpool and Tottenham. “I will be very happy for one of my colleagues and I will be very sad for one of them. I like them both,” he added “I think they both deserve something big in their career. I will love it if Jurgen on Mauricio win it but I will be very, very sorry to think that one of them is going to lose.”
