WATCH as Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar destroys Pakistan scribe!

-

New Delhi: External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar gave a befitting reply to a journalist from Pakistan who during a press meet at UN Security Council asked him, “How long will South Asia see terrorism disseminating from New Delhi, Kabul, Pakistan? How long they are going to be at war?”

Responding to the journalist from GEO TV Pakistan, Jaishankar said: “You are asking the wrong minister when you say how long will we do this because it is minister from Pakistan who will tell you how long Pakistan intends to practice terrorism.”

He went on to says, “At the end of the day, the world is not stupid. The world is not forgetful and the world does increasingly call out countries, organisations, people who indulge in terrorism and by taking the debate elsewhere, you are not going to hide it. You are not going to confuse anybody anymore.”

He further told the Pakistan journalist, “My advice is to please clean up your act. Please try to be a good neighbour. Please try and contribute to what the rest of the world is trying to do today, which is economic growth, progress, development.”

The remarks were made by the EAM while he was interacting with reporters at the UN Security Council stakeout after chairing a signature event held under India's presidency of the Council on 'Global Counterterrorism Approach: Challenges and Way Forward.

Jaishankar also said that the world sees Pakistan as the "epicentre" of terrorism and asserted that the international community has not forgotten where the menace stems from, despite the brain fog induced by over two years of Covid-19.

Responding to another question by a journalist on Pakistan Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Hina Rabbani Khar's recent allegation that "no country had used terrorism better than India", Jaishankar said: "I know we have been through two and a half years of Covid and a lot of us have brain fog as a result. But I assure you the world has not forgotten where terrorism emanates from, who has their fingerprints over a lot of activities in the region and beyond the region."

"So, I would say that it's something which they should remind themselves before indulging in the kind of fantasies which they do," he added.

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?

-

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
