Mumbai:  Maharashtra Government on Tuesday told the Supreme Court that it has no objection on transferring the 2020 Palghar mob lynching case of two Hindu sadhus to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

The Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government in an affidavit said that it is ready and willing to hand over the investigation to the CBI and would have no objection to the same. Maharastra State filed the affidavit on the petitions arising out of the unfortunate attack and lynching of two sadhus and seeking the transfer of the investigation into the matter to CBI in order to conduct an independent and impartial investigation.

The pleas sought a CBI or a court-monitored Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe in the incident that took place in the Palghar district in April 2020.

Earlier, the Maharashtra government had told the apex court that an investigation has been completed in the Palghar lynching case.

The pleas have also sought a probe by the CBI and the registration of an FIR against police officials for their alleged failure to prevent the mob from gathering in violation of the lockdown norms.

On the night of April 16, 2020, two sadhus and their driver were travelling from Kandivali in Mumbai to attend a funeral in Gujarat’s Surat amid the nationwide lockdown when their vehicle was stopped and they were attacked and killed by a mob in Gadchinchile village of Palghar in the presence of police officers.

China’s Economy Gives Very Little For Xi To Display At 20th CPC Congress

The China economy is facing severe downward pressure and a plethora of problems which do not appear to be surmountable in the near and short terms, Financial Post

Beijing: At the 20th Party Congress set for this Sunday, Chinese President Xi Jinping is not likely to flaunt his party’s development in terms of economy as the country struggles with a continuous financial slump, according to media reports.

The Chinese economy is facing severe downward pressure and a plethora of problems which do not appear to be surmountable in the near and short terms, Financial Post reported. According to several observers, this situation came to exist “as a result of lockdowns due to the Coronavirus, the zealous fight of the authorities against corruption and crisis in the real estate market, the economy of the Middle Kingdom may collapse.”
Financial Post reported that the conclusion has been made by the western media on the basis of assessments given by the World Bank.

As per reports, it is widely anticipated that Xi Jinping, during his speech in the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) would claim that the Chinese economy has not only weathered the western sanctions but also the COVID-19 pandemic and successfully managed a reasonable growth.
However, unlike the previous congress, this time around he has little to flaunt on the front of the economy, Financial Post reported.

Notably, in the first half of the year, China recorded only 2.5 per cent growth over the past year, one of the lowest in three decades. Retail sales were 0.7 per cent less in the first half than the previous year after plunging 11 per cent in April.

China’s slowdown has been worse than anticipated amid Covid-19 outbreaks and lockdowns, and there have been further negative spillovers from the war in Ukraine.

Meanwhile, European corporate investment in China is slackening as the country’s real estate market is slumping, consumer spending drying up because of stringent “Covid zero” policies, as well as American investment is also faltering because of geopolitical tensions.

The signs are ominous for the Chinese economy as foreign investments are limited to a handful of multinationals, reported The Straits Times.

China’s published statistics for foreign direct investment show that it is gradually rising overall. But the bulk of what China counts as foreign investment is money arriving from Hong Kong, which tends to be composed of mainland money that has been briefly routed through Hong Kong as a tax-minimisation measure.

Wang Huiyao, President of the Center for China and Globalization and a Counselor with the State Council pertinently remarked: “The upcoming 20th Party Congress is set to attract global attention, as the world is eager to know how the world’s second-largest economy will navigate through risks and challenges amid the lingering pandemic and geo-political tensions.”
