RSS slams Congress leader Digvijay Singh for Gowalkar comment

-

The RSS has hit out at senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh for his tweet regarding Hindutva icon Guru Gowalkar.

In his reply to Digvijay Singh on social media platform Twitter, senior RSS official Sunil Ambekar said, “In the context of Shri Golwalkar Guruji, this tweet is factless and is going to create social disharmony. This false photoshopped picture has been put up with the aim of tarnishing the image of the Sangh. Shri Guruji never said such a thing. His whole life was engaged in ending social discrimination.”

Earlier, former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Digvijay Singh had tweeted a poster, in which he wrote, “Do know what Guru Golwalkar ji’s thoughts were for the Dalits, backward and Muslims and on the right on national water, forest and land.”

Digvijay Singh has been targeting the RSS and the BJP at regular intervals.

Earlier in March, he had said, “I have no objection to the Sangh, provided they answer some of their questions.”

Digvijay Singh had asked questions to the Sangh when the Sangh meeting was going on in Panipat to celebrate the centenary year in 2025. Prior to this meeting, big leaders of the Sangh had indicated that a decision related to the entry of women in the Sangh could be taken.

Apart from Durga Vahini, it was said to discuss in the meeting on giving entry to women in the branches of the Sangh.

In the midst of this debate, Digvijay Singh had asked, "Is the Sangh changing? Will the Sangh allow women and non-Hindus to enter the Sangh? Will the Sangh be registered? Will the Sangh have a bank account? Will there be women in the post of Sarsanghchalak in the Sangh? Can a non-Hindu be selected/nominated? Will the Sangh stick to the demand of "Hindu Rashtra"? Does the Sangh have faith in the Indian Constitution? If they answer these questions in the affirmative, I will have no objection to the Sangh.”

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
