The COVID-19 pandemic across the globe and China in spot.
This Vedic astrology writer chanced upon reading a news report on 15 May , 2020 in a leading newspaper of India , which said :-
“ A top US Senator has unveiled an 18-point plan , including military ties with India , to hold the Chinese government accountable for its lies , deception , and cover-ups that ultimately led to the global Covid-19 pandemic. The prominent suggestions are moving manufacturing chain from China and deepening military –strategic ties with India , Vietnam and Taiwan”. A perception in Europe and America as well seems to be that China failed to share timely information about spread of coronavirus in their country. Some of Asian countries have also questions on delay in sharing the information by China. Sum and substance is that the US seems to be addressing a global concern in May 2020. In this context , it may be apt to refer readers to this Vedic astrology writer’s predictive alerts of 11 November 2019 , in article – “ Astrological probable alerts for 2020” – published at wisdom-magazine.com/Article.aspx/5176/ on 1 January 2020. The text of the predictive article which can be very well related to the issue brought out in the news report of 15 May , 2020 , reads like this :-
“ 4. The months of April to June , 2020 , particularly May-June in 2020 look to be trending into the scene serious worrisome landscapes. There could be some war or war-like conditions across the world , which the U.S. may be called upon to address”.
In short , it can be said that the predictive alert was precise and somewhere indicative.
Khan statement that India is responsible for spreading of TB is utter false and baseless first thing here is that TB is not that much contagious and virulent disease like covid-19 and doesn’t spread at mass level and it is not a pandemic disease.
Now it is curable
As far as politics as concerned it doesn’t need any substantial issue . India should be mature , diplomatic and vigilant as west wants to settle it’s own account with China and has its own embedded interest to raise such issues .
Amir Ullah seems to be exhibiting neurological manifestations of world-shutting chinese virus. covid 19. Tuberculosis did not originate in India nor does the rest of the world know how to even spell Kala Azar. And regardless ,the world was never shut down because of TB.
Amir should go and see a neurologist, if they refuse to entertain him he should seek a psychiatrist.
Ever since independence, China has been seeing India as a pushover, always ready to toe the line laid by China, ready to crawl when just asked to bend. As Prof.Rajesh Rajagopalan says, this is a watered down resolution which does not name China, or call for investigation in China. But, this is a heaven sent opportunity to stand up against China. India must not once again appease China.
Perhaps not the best time for such a forensic post mortem when energies should be focused on saving the patient’s life. The virus is on a rampage, nearing five million cases worldwide, close to one lac in India. 2. Any honest appraisal of how each country has dealt with the pandemic would show up missteps in many, if not most. 3. President Trump has decided on shifting serious blame to China as part of his reelection strategy. Australia seems willing to go along, although former foreign ministers from the Labour Party have expressed misgivings. India obviously cannot be part of such an enterprise.
