India needs to be as proactive as the US , Australia UK and now Brazil in demanding Chinese accountability. But first PM Modi needs to weed out snakes in India’s own backyard: there is a powerful pro China lobby in the corridors of Delhi of politicians bureaucrats & lawyers -- tweeted Mahesh Jethmalani. Candid indeed.
Dr Li-Meng Yan, a noted Chinese Virologist and whistleblower, said, "This bio-weapon is non-traditional and unrestricted by nature. I have presented in my previous reports that the virus is man-made. This is very good evidence to support my report and to verify that the Coronavirus is the Chinese government's homegrown project. I called it a non-restricted bio-weapon project."
She insists spreading Coronavirus in enemy land was a 2015 Chinese PLA project.
The document titled 'The Unnatural Origin of SARS and New Species of Man-Made Viruses as Genetic Bioweapons' reveals the Chinese military's plans with regards to bio-weapons. The Chinese language documents claim that a bio-weapon attack could cause the "enemy's medical system to collapse".

Of course, Prime Minister Narendra Modi needs to take actions. Here comes the relevance of Mahesh Jethmalani's tweet about snakes. The presence of 'Chinese lobby' is a known fact.
Dr Yan says Chinese Communists leadership is already running a massive propaganda campaign to counter its role in the pandemic. In fact, the silence on Chinese complexity in Indian media and among opposition leaders and intellectuals and tabloids and tabloid-like websites is sickening.
Here for some Indians the sole guiding factor is 'Modi must fail' !!
But global media and WHO also should answer some plain and simple
It all started in Wuhan, but the name is 'not Chinese or Wuhan virus'; it is Covid.... and see then what happened, they call it Brazil variant, South Africa variant, Indian variant and also UK variant.
The report shedding light on China's plans to weaponise the virus is said to have been obtained by US officials and was reportedly written by military scientists and senior Chinese public health officials in 2015.
The SARS coronaviruses can actually herald a “new era of genetic weapons”, which could be artificially manipulated into an emerging human disease virus, then weaponized and unleashed in a way "never seen before”.
In Indian context, the timing of the spread of the pandemic is also crucial. In 2020, it peaked up around October that is post-June Galwan 'misadventure'.
And in 2021, the emergence of Covid19 second wave coincided with the West Bengal elections and post-Kumbh. Were all these coincident?
Elaborating on the reasons why China allegedly created a bioweapon, Dr Yan told Indian television channels : "China govt have past materials and knowledge about this. This is a good material for non-traditional bioweapon which means the mortality does not need to be high and it can be low. The advantage is that it can target humans easily, it is invisible and also stable. The secondary damage will ruin the enemy society and the economics."

| Like Nehru, Is Modi also 'betrayed' ?? |
"In China, more people have died. Far more than you know. China's government is covering up. Especially in Wuhan, from where we say the virus has originated, many people are dead. But the government does not care about people's lives. If you know history, you will know the Chinese Communist Party has never cared about human lives. Based on that thinking, they let people die and then suppress information," Dr Yan said.

Net decline of 30,016 cases in 61 days: Govt denies 'delay' in disbursement of Foreign aids
New Delhi: A net decline of 30,016 cases recorded from the total active caseload between May 10 and May 11 for the first time after two months, precisely 61 days.
"Also, after 61 days, the new recoveries outnumber the new cases seen in 24 hours," a statement from the Health Ministry said.
Foreign aids are helping India's fight in a big way. "Foreign friendships matter. Every life counts; and every gesture makes a difference. 19 hospitals across India see that through their new oxygen generating plants. A global challenge meets a global response," External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar tweeted.
At least 8,900 Oxygen Concentrators, 5,043 Oxygen Cylinders, 18 Oxygen Generation Plants, 5,698 ventilators/ Bi PAP and more than 3.4 Lakh Remdesivir vials received as part of global aid to India have been delivered or dispatched to states and union territories to strengthen and supplement their COVID response, so far.
The Union government is ensuring a streamlined and fast delivery of the global aid to States and UTs through faster custom clearances, and use of air and road, the Health ministry said.
The cumulative number of COVID19 vaccine doses administered in the country has exceeded 17.27 Cr as on May 11 as the Phase-3 of the nationwide Vaccination Drive expands further.
A trail of volunteers in distress run racing behind doctors and other staff. The conditions in some hospitals in India's capital have improved following supply of medical equipment, medicines and oxygen from various countries.
Over 40 countries from large to smaller ones - the US to Singapore have responded to the massive pandemic crisis, the world's largest democracy finds itself in.
Even Finland has come forward generously.
"India’s COVID19 crisis is among the world’s worst. Finland supports India with EUR 1 million to fight the pandemic," the Finland foreign ministry said.
Finland has previously promised oxygen cylinders to India.
Each individual story of suffering and loss has its own poignancy. But in some cases, patients and even health workers are alleging 'delay' in getting the disbursement from the federal agencies once the aid sent for humanitarian support land in Delhi airports.
"We have heard oxygen generating plants from France have reached Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital. But what about others? Why the delay"? commented one medical staff on the condition of anonymity.
He says apparently the central agencies and India Red Cross Society are distributing the aid materials first to federal-government run hospitals only.
Similar complaints came from some opposition ruled states.
Around 50 lakh items, comprising medicines, oxygen cylinders and masks, received in foreign aid have been distributed to 38 institutions and hospitals across 29 states and two centrally-administered provinces.
"There is no delay or discrepancy. Things are being done in very transparent manner. We are following a system and standard procedures. You cannot pick up or name a city and hospital and say no foreign aids reached here," an Health ministry official said.
The issue of 3000 oxygen concentrators pending with Customs also had figured in a Delhi High Count proceedings.
The allegation has been denied by the government. The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs has clarified that there is no such pendency with Indian Customs.
Mauritius has sent 200 oxygen concentrators, Russia (20), UK has sent in four consignments, 80 from Romania, 700 from Ireland, Thailand (30), China (1000) and Uzbekistan (151).
The relief material has been dispatched through road and air too, officials say.
"The Indian Customs is sensitive to the need for availability of COVID related imports including Oxygen & Oxygen related equipment etc., and are working 24 x 7 to fast track and clear the goods on arrival," a statement said.
Aid materials are being sent even to central government medical institutes far off places in northeast India like Imphal in Manipur or Shillong in Christian-stronghold state of Meghalaya, the Health ministry official said.
"In the first few days, the assistance went to states via the All Indian Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) where the critical care patients load is high and where the need is also more. It has been seen that tertiary health care facilities normally have a higher number of cases with severe symptoms of Covid and are often the only succour to people," he said.
"We need cooperation from the media also. Please stop looking at darker sides only. This is war time," he made a request.
The ruling BJP leaders say at this time of crisis, the country should be united.
"Pandemic created these crises in the families of government servants and health workers also. We BJP workers are also suffering, so are from other parties. So political mudslinging must stop," says BJP leader Virendra Sachdeva in Good Governance cell.
"We are happy that Indian High Commissions have been able to coordinate dispatch of cryogenic oxygen tanks and other requirements. These are reaching the designating target hospitals and towns," he said.
Of course, the BJP leaders' complaint is against a section of media and opposition Congress leaders.
Officials also say it is not the time to find fault with. Ventilators from Thailand have gone to Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi and six other hospitals have received oxygen generating plants, sources said.
An Information ministry source said: "The work for receipt, allocation and distribution to the States through the Central and other Health Institutions started immediately as the global community started to support. A Coordination Committee meets every morning.
Media, especially a section of those, will be advised that they may refrain from selective use of matters available in public domain and social media, and not misinterpret facts to suit their own narrative".
The BJP leaders say - Oxygen cylinders from Singapore had been sent to All India Institutes of Medical Sciences in opposition ruled states of Chattisgarh (Congress), Jharkhand (a government run by Congress alliance) and Odisha capital Bhubaneswar - where too a regional party is in power.
Red Cross staffers working in Delhi say, of course there are different administrative layers. But one of them added: "You cannot have a situation that aid materials arrive at airports and then would reach hospitals at random. Custom clearance is crucial at these junctures. The members of the embassies are present at airports to help in segregation along with India's foreign ministry officials for speeding up the paper works."
Other measures are also being taken, say officials. The Integrated Goods and Services Tax on all aid from private donors was waived on May 3.
Meanwhile, the government says 5,24,731 beneficiaries of the age group 18-44 years received their first dose of COVID vaccine between May 10 and 11 and cumulatively 25,59,339 across 30 States/UTs since the start of phase-3 of vaccination drive.
95 unidentified bodies, many of them suspected to be Covid victims, recovered from river Ganga
The bodies of Covid victims have been allegedly dumped in river Ganga after an overwhelmed government system neglected or delayed their dignified disposal.
Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state of some 200 million, issued instructions prohibiting Jal Samadhi or water cremation, a ritual followed by some communities in which bodies are dumped in bodies of water such as the Ganges, considered holy by Hindus.
Corpses float in holy river
Pandemic-hit India is witnessing an unprecedented crisis as some 95 unidentified bodies — many of them suspected to be Covid-19 victims — were recovered from the River Ganges in northern India.
Officials said 25 bodies were found in Uttar Pradesh, where Hindu monk-turned politician Yogi Adityanath serves as chief minister, heading the government led by the pro-Hindu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
At least 70 bodies were found in poverty-stricken Bihar, where the BJP shares power with regional socialist party Janata Dal United.
"We have taken serious note of the issue of dumping dead bodies in the River Ganga and instituted measures” to stop it, tweeted federal water affairs minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat.
Uttar Pradesh officials have been cautious not to confirm if the bodies were of Covid-19 victims.
“Most bodies have been found in Bihar, and thus the Bihar government should investigate,” said senior Uttar Pradesh police officer P. Kumar.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s parliamentary constituency of Varanasi is on the banks of the Ganges, which flows through 11 states. It starts in the Himalayas and runs through the plains before entering Bangladesh to empty itself in the Bay of Bengal.
India has been struggling with a second wave of Covid-19 since April as hundreds of thousands of new cases are reported each day, with thousands dying. Each day of the past week India saw more than 400,000 new cases and more than 4,000 deaths from the contagion.
The toll decreased slightly this week, with 3,800 deaths and 329,000 new cases reported on May 10. India has so far recorded a total of 23 million cases and about 250,000 deaths.
Opposition leaders such as Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and experts allege that the actual death toll could be far higher than what is being shown in the official data.
Hospitals across India continue to report a lack of essential medicines and oxygen to treat pandemic-affected people.
While there is an "uncountable number of bodies" flowing in rivers, the prime minister is busy elsewhere, Gandhi said in a tweet.
India, reeling under the Indian variant of the coronavirus, is now the epicenter of the viral spread in the region that is also affecting nearby countries like Nepal and Indonesia. (UCA News)
