       Haryana Govt Crisis: Congress seeks dismissal of BJP


       govt, as 3 MLAs switch sides


       The Congress on Wednesday demanded President’s Rule and
       fresh elections in Haryana as three Independent MLAs withdrew
       support from the BJP government and extended it to their party.
       The  Nayab  Singh  Saini-led  BJP  government  currently  has  40
       MLAs in the Assembly, shy of the majority mark of 45 in the now
       88-member House.
       “We are going to write to the Governor that three Independent
       MLAs have withdrawn support and they have extended support to
       our party, the government is in the minority and they have no right
       to stay in power. We will demand that the government be dismissed, President’s Rule be imposed and fresh
       elections be held,” Haryana Congress chief Udai Bhan said.
       The BJP government has the support of 43 MLAs (including the support of 2 other Independent MLAs) now,
       though it claimed on Tuesday that four Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) MLAs too may offer “tactical assistance
       to the government if needed”, taking its strength to 47. Meanwhile, JJP leader Dushyant Chautala today
       announced that he would “support Leader of Opposition, Bhupinder Singh Hooda” if the latter initiates a
       move to topple the BJP government in the State. JJP had pulled out of the BJP coalition government in
       March.
       Astrazeneca  withdraws  Covid  vaccine,  weeks  a er


       report on rare side effects


       Weeks after admitting that its Covid vaccine can cause rare
       side  effects,  AstraZeneca  Tuesday  announced  that  it  is
       withdrawing the Oxford-AstraZeneca novel coronavirus shot
       worldwide.

       According to a report by The Telegraph, AstraZeneca said the
       vaccine was being removed from markets for commercial
       reasons. The vaccine was no longer being manufactured or
       supplied, after being superseded by updated vaccines which
       have the capability to tackle new variants.

       According to the report, the vaccine can no longer be used in the European Union after the company
       voluntarily withdrew its “marketing authorisation”.
