China has decided to ban the entry of Indians holding valid visas into the country in view of the coronavirus pandemic. According to news agency PTI, the Chinese embassy in New Delhi on Thursday said that the ‘suspension’ was a temporary measure that China had to adopt to deal with the current pandemic. In other news, a Bench led by Chief Justice of India, SA Bobde, will hear Arnab Goswami’s petition against the breach of privilege notice issued by the Maharashtra Assembly against him.
“China will make further adjustment and announcement in accordance with the ongoing pandemic situation in a timely manner,” the statement read. The Indian government was planning to operate flights between India and China under Vande Bharat Mission scheme on 13, 20, 27 November and 4 December 4. But the government has not decided to cancel these flights in view of the ban imposed by China.
As for Goswami’s petition, Chief Justice of India SA Bobde last week had expressed his disgust on Arnab Goswami’s style of news coverage as he told Goswami’s lawyer Harish Salve that even he could not ‘stand’ the TV coverage designed to cause communal disharmony in the society. This was after the Maharashtra government filed an appeal against the Bombay High Court’s order staying a police investigation against the Republic TV founder.
