Opposition slams BJP for endorsing 'Adipurush' demands apology from filmmakers for 'insulting Hindu Gods'

-

The release of Om Raut’s epic drama ‘Adipurush’ has caused a stir among the Opposition who say that the film which is based on Ramayana “insults” the Hindu religion.

Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh on Saturday slammed BJP for endorsing a film that “portrays Lord Shri Ram, Mata Sita and Lord Shri Hanuman in a negative light” through its derogatory dialogues.

“Every Hindu holds Lord Shri Ram, Mata Sita and Lord Shri Hanuman in utmost reverence and their heads bow down with respect as soon as their names are mentioned. And yet, the BJP has resorted to depicting them in a film that paints them in a negative light. These BJP leaders are partners in this grave insult of Lord Shri Ram, Mata Sita and Lord Shri Hanuman by making and supporting this film,” Singh said.

Demanding an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Party President JP Nadda, Singh added, “You will feel ashamed if you listen to the dialogues of this movie.”

He further said, “Those associated with this film had likely written what the party leaders had requested. It is imperative that the leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party apologize before the entire Hindu community and the nation of India with folded hands.”

He also accused the filmmakers of changing facts in the film by using their imagination.

“In this film, Mother Sita was stabbed on the basis of imagination. Will ‘Ramayana’ also be changed on the basis of imagination? BJP people are not the ones who believe in the Hindu religion, they are the ones who destroy it,” he said.

Congress also joined AAP in its criticism of Adipurush by describing the language used as “tapori.”

Congress’ social media head Supriya Shrinate that while the author of Ramayana left a sweet, gentle and charming image of Lord Ram in the minds of people, Adipurush has “made a business of religion.”

“You will get cheap popularity on the strength of your sycophancy, big shows are also available, but lack of talent definitely comes in the way,” she said.

“The writer who calls Hanuman ‘Tere Baap ki Jali’ is not only a squid, but the Hindu is also a very vulgar type,” she added.

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi also joined the chorus asking the filmmakers to apologise to the entire nation.

“The dialogue writer of Adipurush @manojmuntashir, as well as the director, should apologise to the nation for the pedestrian dialogues written for the movie, especially for Lord Hanuman,” she tweeted.

The dialogue that has gained a lot of criticism in the movie includes one delivered by the character playing Lord Hanuman. In the film, he can be heard saying, “Kapda tere baap ka. Tel tere baap ka. Aag bhi tere baap ki. Toh jalegi bhi tere baap ki.”

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
