Military veterans write to PM Modi condemning attacks on Muslims, Dalits

More than 100 military veterans have in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned targeting of Muslims and Dalits by “self-appointed protectors of Hinduism”, saying India’s strength is its diversity, media reports said on Monday.

The letter also expressed concern over alleged climate of fear and suppression of dissent, as it backed the ‘Not In My Name’ campaign that saw people across the country holding protest demonstrations against mob violence and cow vigilantism.

“We are witness to unprecedented attacks on society at large by the relentless vigilantism of self-appointed protectors of Hinduism. We condemn the targeting of Muslims and Dalits,” the letter said.

The armed forces stood for unity in diversity and differences in religion, language, caste or culture had never come in the way of servicemen performing their duty, the veteran said.

India has recently seen a rise in violence in the name of cow, held sacred by many Hindus. Several states have enacted laws and prescribed stringent punishment for smuggling and slaughtering of the animal, which is banned in most parts of the country. Muslims and Dalits have been the worst hit by cow vigilantism, which has also been condemned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Decoding human genome: Scientists creating yeast DNA from scratch

New Delhi: Scientists say they are building yeast DNA from scratch, paving the way towards creating new organisms in the lab, amid huge scientific hurdles and public scrutiny.

The initiative being discussed at the New York City meeting in May - Genome Project-write (GP-write) - has been surrounded by worries over creating unnatural beings in the labs.

The GP-write consortium members believe that turning to human genome synthesis will also enable new cell therapies and other medical advances.

The overall project is still under development, and scientists are also unclear where funding will come from.

The synthetic genomes and chromosomes already constructed by scientists are by no means simple, but to synthesize the human genome, scientists will have to address a whole other level of complexity.

Our genome is composed of more than 3 billion bases across 23 paired chromosomes. And to synthesize the human genome could mean scientists will have to address a whole other level of complexity.

The GP-Write project is being managed by the Center of Excellence for Engineering Biology, a new non-profit organisation.

चीन पर आक्रामक हुए अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति ट्रंप, नेवी को दी खुली छूट

बीजिंग (एजेंसी)। डोकलाम सीमा विवाद को लेकर भारत पर आक्रामक हुए चीन के लिए अमेरिका ने चिंता बढ़ा दी हैं। अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति डोनाल्ड ट्रंप के एक आक्रामक कदम से चीन की बैचेनी बढ़ गई है। ट्रंप ने अपनी नौसेना (यूएस नेवी) को दक्षिण चीन सागर में खूली छुट दे दी है जिसे यहां अपनी सैन्य मौजूदगी बढ़ा रहे चीन पूरी तरह से दवाब की स्थिति में आ गया है।

ट्रंप के इस फैसले से ड्रैगन के दक्षिण चीन सागर पर दावेदारी पेश करने को बड़ी चुनौती मिली है। आपको बता दें कि चीन के अलावा पांच अन्य देश वियतनाम, मलयेशिया, इंडोनेशिया, ब्रुनेई और फिलीपींस दक्षिण चीन सागर पर अपना दावा जताते हैं।

चीन की सत्ताधारी कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी फिलहाल अपने कॉन्क्लेव की तैयारी कर रही है जिसमें कई बड़े राजनैतिक बदलाव होने वाले हैं और ऐसे समय में अमेरिका द्वारा उठाए गए इस कदम से चीन की बढ़ती नौसेना दक्षिण चीन सागर में ही उलझी रहेगी और चीन पर भारत और जापान जैसे दूसरे देशों के साथ सीमा विवाद के मसले पर दवाब पड़ेगा।

ग्लोबल टाइम्स से बात करते हुए चीनी नौसेना के एक अधिकारी ने बताया कि चीन ने अपने आधुनिक गाइडेड मिसाइल विध्वंसक भेजकर रूस के प्रति अपनी गहरी दोस्ती की ओर इशारा किया है। इसके साथ ही हमें उकसाने वाले देशों के लिए यह एक चुनौतीपूर्ण संदेश है। आपको यह भी बता दें कि चीन अंतर्राष्ट्रीय अदालत में चीन पहले मात खा चुका है। हेग स्थित अंतर्राष्ट्रीय अदालत ने चीन द्वारा साउथ चाइना सी पर जताए गए दावे को खारिज कर उसे गैरकानूनी और अतिक्रमण वाला बताया था। लेकिन चीन ने कोर्ट के फैसले को नकार दिया।

5.6 magnitude earthquake strikes Japan

Tokyo: An earthquake measuring 5.6 on the Richter scale shook the Fukushima Prefecture and northeast Japan on Thursday, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.

However, no tsunami alerts or damage to the nuclear power plant were reported, Efe news said.

The quake was registered at 9.11 am at a depth of 40 km with an epicentre located off the coast of Fukushima.

The owner of the Fukushima nuclear power plant, Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO), said no abnormalities were observed at the plant after the quake.

The earthquake was also felt with less intensity across eastern Japan, including in the capital here.

Japan is situated on the so-called Ring of Fire, one of the world's most active seismic zones.

The country has previously suffered several earthquakes, and so its infrastructure is designed to withstand the tremors.

Beat UN court collectively remains Jadhav's execution till definite decision

NEW DELHI: Former Indian Navy officer Kulbhushan Jadhav, sentenced to death in Pakistan, got a respite as the International Court of Justice (ICJ), in a request observed acutely in both nations, collectively remained his execution.

"Pakistan might take all measures available to its to guarantee that Mr Jadhav is not executed pending a ultimate choice... what's more, might advise the court of all measures taken in execution of the present request," court president Ronny Abraham said.

India had hurried to the ICJ on May 8 expecting that Jadhav may be executed at whatever time, and had looked for a legitimate limitation on Pakistan. It contended that the matter went under the domain of the ICJ in light of the fact that Pakistan had abused India's privilege, given under the Vienna Convention, to have consular access to Jadhav. It had additionally looked for a critical hearing by highlighting the danger of Jadhav's up and coming hanging. In its temporary request, the ICJ said it had ward in the matter, and rejected Pakistan's contention that India had consented to keep matters concerning national security out of the domain of the Vienna Convention.
