Bengaluru, September 5: “BJP people have been trying to expose the 2019 Lok Sabha election as the election between Hindus and Muslims and Rahul and Modi. But in reality, it would be the fight between truth and false, justice and injustice, Constitution and Manusmriti”, said JNU students leader Umar Khalid.

Speaking at the Freedom of Expression convention here on Wednesday, he said that he hoped that the people of the country would elect the truth, justice and the Constitution in the election. Their fight was not against Narendra Modi and BJP. But it was against the anti-human Manuvadi organization. Before her murder, Gauri Lankesh was called as anti-Hindus. For the last two and half years, he was being treated as traitor. Prove the charges leveled against him in any court of law in the country. He had  never shouted anti-India slogans. “For attack on me, those two persons who brought guns were not responsible. Instead, the Central governments, spokespersons of the government and news anchors of some television media were directly responsible for it. I am not a traitor. Those who banned the old notes overnight and failed to bring the black money back to the country, are real traitors. Those who cheat the farmers and labourers and make benefit to Ambani and Adani were real traitors. Those who had promised of creating 2 crore job opportunities in 2014 election were real traitors”, he alleged.

The central government has sufficient money to write off the loans of corporate companies. But it does not have money to waive of the farmers loans and thus forcing the farmers to commit suicide. They were the real traitors. Those who attack on dalits, tribals, brand people who raise voice against the suppressed people as urban naxals, and taking the rape and murder accused in a procession were real traitors, he alleged.

When someone asked Narendra Modi about Gujarat massacre, Modi said that he would be pained even if a puppy was died. The dog has loyalty. But the Sanghis had no loyalty towards the country. In the beginning, they were the agents of Britishers. Now, they were the agents of big corporate companies. They were dividing the country in the name of religion, and caste, he said.

Barcelona (AP): Real Madrid slapped players Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni with half-a-million-euro ($588,000) fines on Friday for their altercation during practice.

The massive fines came a day after the midfielders tussled when the team trained. Valverde said in a post on social media on Thursday that no punches were thrown. But Valverde knocked his head on a table and he suffered a small cut that required a brief hospital visit.

On social media, Valverde initially called it a “meaningless fight” with a teammate and said “everything has been blown out of proportion."

His employers, however, considered it a significant enough breach of team discipline to nail both Valverde and Tchouaméni with fines that bite even the bank account of a top soccer player. The half-a-million euro penalties reflect the reputational damage the club was enduring in a chaotic end to a disappointing season.

In a statement, the 15-time European champion said its disciplinary action was concluded after both players expressed to the club “their complete remorse for what happened and apologized to one another.”

Madrid added they also apologized to their teammates, the coaching staff and club supporters, as well as showing their willingness to accept whatever disciplinary action the club deemed “opportune.”

Tchouaméni was back training with Madrid on Friday, two days before they play at Barcelona in a clasico. Madrid has to win otherwise Barcelona will be crowned La Liga champion.

After being notified of the fine, he posted a public apology to the club and its fans on social media.

“What happened this week in training is unacceptable,” Tchouaméni wrote. "I say this while thinking about the example we are expected to set for young people, whether in football or at school.

“Above all, I am sorry for the image we projected of the club.”

Valverde was not at practice due to the head knock.

Both players are set to play in the World Cup next month, with Tchouaméni playing for France and Valverde for Uruguay. 

Chaotic end to a poor season

===================

The run-in between the players, who for seasons have played side by side in Madrid's midfield, came after they argued this week in previous training sessions. But tempers boiled over on Thursday. Spanish media was rife with reports that the players previously disagreed over the club's decision to let coach Xabi Alonso go after just months on the job.

It was not the only altercation involving Madrid players during training this week. Álvaro Carreras confirmed he was in a “minor” incident with a teammate. Spanish media said he and fellow defender Antonio Rüdiger got into a scuffle.

Álvaro Arbeloa, the coach who was promoted from Madrid's reserve team when Alonso was fired in January, will face tough questions on what went wrong inside the changing room when he gives a press conference on Saturday ahead of the clasico at Camp Nou.

Madrid is facing a second consecutive campaign without a major trophy amid rumors in the Spanish media that club president Florentino Pérez is considering bringing back Jose Mourinho to straighten out his underperforming team.
