Himanta says Chhattisgarh CM Baghel opened the market of religious conversion to undermine Sanatana Dharma

-

Attacking Bhupesh Baghel, his counterpart from Chhattisgarh, as a “big market of religious conversion” in the state to undermine Sanatan Dharma, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma criticized Baghel on Thursday.

The senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party asked supporters to vote for the BJP in Chhattisgarh so that a double-engine administration could work for the state’s development while speaking at a public gathering in Mahasamund city, the state that is headed for elections.

He also took aim at Rahul Gandhi, claiming that the Congressman has never been to the Ayodhya Ram temple.

Prior to the BJP candidates’ nominations from four constituencies in the Mahasamund district—Mahasamund, Khallari, Basna, and Saraipali—a rally led by Sarma was organized.

“…We have to think about the situation to which the Bhupesh Baghel government has pushed Chhattisgarh. Religious conversions are taking place. A conspiracy is being played to convert tribals in every part of the state. Sanatan (Dharma) is being attacked,” he said.

“We should think about what Congress has given in (the last) five years. Has he (CM Baghel) opened any university in five years? In Assam, medical colleges have been set up in each district. There has been no basic transformation in the state (Chhattisgarh). Baghel does drama every time and he has opened a big market of religious conversion to weaken Sanatan Dharma,” Sarma said.

Targeting the Congress, he said 75 years passed since India got Independence, but it is PM Narendra Modi who finally constructed Ram temple (in Ayodhya). He asked why the Congress failed to build the temple all these years.

“Why didn’t the PMs under the Congress rule at the Centre build Ram temple and waited for PM Modi ji (to do so)? It is because the Congress has no devotion for Lord Ram and its leaders always worshipped Babar,” he said.

“I have never seen any Congress leader visiting the Ram temple in the last 3-4 years. Rahul Gandhi goes to temples during elections, but he doesn’t go to the Ram mandir (in Ayodhya) as he is scared that people of Babar will get annoyed and abuse him,” he added.

He hit out at the Congress government in Chhattisgarh over its promise of loan waiver to farmers, and said the Congress had made the same promise in the last election but did not fulfil it completely.

“Why did farmers in the state have to take loans? It is because their children do not have jobs. The Baghel government should have worked to generate employment,” he added.

Elections to the 90-member Chhattisgarh assembly will be held in two phases – on November 7 and 17.

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
