After passage of J-K Bills in RS, more important businesses lined up in both Houses

The Rajya Sabha has more business lined up for Tuesday as the Parliament reconvenes for the ongoing Winter Session, following the passage of the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Bill, 2023 and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill 2023 by the Upper House, which followed the Supreme Court upholding the revocation of Article 370 from the erstwhile state.

The Rajya Sabha has more business lined up for Tuesday as the Parliament reconvenes for the ongoing Winter Session, following the passage of the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Bill, 2023 and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill 2023 by the Upper House, which followed the Supreme Court upholding the revocation of Article 370 from the erstwhile state.

In its decision on Article 370, the Supreme Court dismissed the petitioners’ arguments and maintained the Presidential decree. The five-judge panel further requested that elections be held in Jammu and Kashmir by September 30, 2024.

Meanwhile, suspended Lok Sabha MP Mahua Moitra has opted to appeal her suspension in the cash for questioning case involving billionaire Darshan Hiranandani to the Supreme Court. Moitra was expelled from Parliament for ‘unethical conduct’ after being suspected of accepting money from Hiranandani in exchange for asking questions in Parliament.

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
