World Current Affairs MCQs February 2022

Which country won the most Bronze medals in the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022?

US President Joe Biden signed into law a bill titled, “Ghost Army Congressional Gold Medal Act”, to provide recognition to the ‘Ghost Army’. It is a tactical deception unit deployed by the US during World War II. There are just nine surviving veterans of the Ghost Army across the US. The Congressional Gold Medal is the Congress’s highest award of national appreciation for distinguished contributions.

The Statue of Equality, the mega 216-foot structure in Telangana which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi 12 February 2022, was actually made in China. The fact that such a prestigious project was awarded to a Chinese firm — at a time when the Narendra Modi government, the BJP and its ideological family, the Sangh Parivar, has talked of cutting down India’s dependence on Chinese goods — has raised eyebrows. But the BJP says it’s “irrelevant” where the statue was made, with Telangana party leader N.V. Subhash adding that the greater cause behind the statue is to preach humanity. The statue, built on the outskirts of Hyderabad, commemorates the 11th-century Bhakti saint Sri Ramanujacharya on his 1,000th birth anniversary.
