China's objection to Amit Shah's visit won't change reality, Arunachal 'will always remain integral part of India': MEA

-

New Delhi: India on Tuesday gave a befitting reply to China “objection” to Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit to Arunachal Pradesh, saying that the state “was, is and will always remain an integral and inalienable part of India”.

“Rejecting completely” the comments made by Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin on Shah’s visit to Arunachal, spokesperson of India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Arindam Bagchi said, “India leaders routinely travel to the state of Arunachal Pradesh as they do to any other state of India.”

“Objecting to such visits does not stand to reason and will change the above reality,” the MEA spokesperson said.

China objects Amit Shah's Arunachal Pradesh visit

Ahead on Shah's visit to Arunachal Pradesh on Monday, Wenbin said that the visit of the India's Home Minister "violated China's territorial sovereignty and is not conducive to the peace and tranquillity of the border situation.”

He further claimed that “Zangnan is China’s territory." Beijing claims some 90,000 sq km of Arunachal Pradesh as its territory. It calls the area “Zangnan” in the Chinese language and makes repeated references to “South Tibet”.

Also, the Chinese maps show Arunachal Pradesh as part of China.

'No one can dare encroach even an inch of India's land'

Shah in a strong message to China from the border village of Kibithoo in Arunachal, on Monday, had said no one can dare cast an evil eye on India's territorial integrity and encroach even an "inch of our land."

He said the era when anyone could encroach the borderlands of India was over.

"The land on which the first ray of the Sun falls in India was named Arunachal Pradesh by Lord Parshuram. Since then this earth is known as the Land of the Rising Sun. It is a resplendent jewel in the crown of Mother India," India's Home Minister had said.

Intensifying his attack on China, Shah went on to say, "Due to the bravery of our soldiers in the Army and ITBP, no one can cast an evil eye on our border. The times are gone when anyone could encroach on India's land. Today, no one can even occupy land equal to a needle point."

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
