Bajrang Dal stages protest against Congress manifesto to ban organisation

Workers from the Bajrang Dal protested in front of the Congress building and set fire to the party platform for the forthcoming elections in Karnataka. 

This comes after the Congress pledged on Tuesday to take "decisive action" in accordance with the law, including outlawing groups like the Bajrang Dal, the Popular Front of India, and others.

BJP programs are part of Congress' manifesto, says CM Bommai

Calling the Congress’ manifesto “cheating”, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai claimed that most of the programs were announced by the incumbent BJP government.

The CM while campaigning BJP candidate MR Patil, said, “He has an emotional bond with this taluk as he spent most of his childhood days here in Kamadolli, Saunshi, and Gudageri. His father, former CM, SR Bommai had got released nearly 30,000 acres of land to farmers of this taluk, and he had won from the constituency as an independent candidate.

The Congress party received harsh criticism on Tuesday from the in-power Bharatiya Janata Party after its election platform in Karnataka said that it would outlaw Bajrang Dal if it were to win. This pledge even prompted the BJP to refer to the Congress election platform as a PFI manifesto.

By starting an internet campaign on the issue, the BJP increased the stakes in its battle with the established party. BJP politicians changed their display images on Twitter by adding an image of Lord Hanuman with the message “I am Bajarangi.”

Numerous pro-Hindu organisations criticised this promise made by Congress, which gave them the motivation to cooperate with the BJP. These groups will probably demonstrate in front of the Congress headquarters today, along with Bajrang Dal.

At a campaign rally in the Vijayanagara district, Prime Minister Modi said he was fortunate to have had the chance to pay respects to the Hanuman-inhabited region.

The Congress responded by claiming that it was Prime Minister Modi who had offended religious sentiments and insulted the deity by “equating” him with the Bajrang Dal and demanded an apology from him. The BJP claimed that Congress had insulted Lord Hanuman with its “audacious” statement, and the people of Karnataka will respond appropriately in the polls.

In its electoral campaign for the May 10 Karnataka Assembly elections, the Congress pledged to take strong action in accordance with the law, including banning organisations like the Bajrang Dal and PFI on the grounds that they fostered animosity amongst communities.

Amit Shah, JP Nadda, and Yogi Adityanath, three prominent BJP figures, were also charged with making divisive comments by the party, and they were called upon to stop campaigning as they were poisoning the atmosphere.

The Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge and his son Priyank Kharge were not allowed to campaign, according to the BJP, who also requested an FIR.

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
