VHP launches helpline for Hindus being victimised by Islamic fundamentalists

-

New Delhi: Vishva Hindu Parishad has released helpline numbers for Hindus being threatened or victimised by Islamic fundamentalists over their posts on social media.

Taking to Twitter, VHP said, "Hindus under threat or victimized by jihadist forces may approach our Bajrang dal Helpline numbers or their respective areas.. Numbers for rest of the states will be released soon."

The list comprises around 20 phone numbers from different regions across states with names and contact numbers of in-charges in these areas.

In a video message released earlier, VHP joint general secretary Surendra Jain claimed efforts are being made to create an atmosphere of terror in the country since the brutal killing of Umesh Kolhe in Maharashtra’s Amravati and Kanhaiya Lal at Udaipur in Rajasthan.

"People are being threatened for their social media posts," he alleged.

“The entire world is fed up with Islamic fundamentalism, but for the last few days, their poison is spreading fast. In the manner Amravati’s Umesh Kolhe and Udaipur’s Kanhaiya Lal were killed, the entire world is shaken.

“After these two incidents, the way efforts are being made to spread violence and create an atmosphere of terror in the country is a matter of grave concern,” he said.

“If a post is not liked, death threat be given? Hindu society will not tolerate it,” he said.

On behalf of the VHP, Jain appealed to members of the “Hindu society” to immediately lodge a complaint with police whenever such threats are made to them.

“If police does not take action, the activists of VHP’s youth wing Bajrang Dal will always be ready to help you,” he said.

Kanhaiyya Lal was hacked to death by two Muslim men in Rajasthan’s Udaipur over his post in support of suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma. In the videos that were recorded by the killers themselves, one could see the two men enter the tailor’s shop posing as customers and attacked him with a knife.

In the latter part of the video, the victim could be heard crying and screaming while he was beheaded with a raw knife by the men. The tailor’s body covered in plastic was seen lying outside his shop with blood overflowing on the streets.

Kolhe, a chemist living in Maharashtra’s Amravati, was murdered by four Muslim assailants while he was returning from his pharmacy one night. After initial reports said the murder was committed with the intention of robbery, police later revealed that the killing was linked to a social media post from Kolhe in support of Nupur Sharma. The case is now being investigated by the NIA.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-
Image
After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
