According to the data released for the year 2023-2024, India has exported goods worth 16 billion U.S. dollars to China and imported goods worth 101 billion U.S. dollars, resulting in a trade deficit of 85 billion U.S. dollars with China.

As two FIRs are registered against Sandeep Pathak in Punjab soon after his reported political shift towards the Bharatiya Janata Party, and with indications of possible arrest emerging almost immediately, does the timing of these developments raise larger questions about whether such legal actions are purely driven by evidence and due process, or whether they risk being perceived as closely linked to political realignments, thereby blurring the line between enforcement of law and the optics of political pressure ?
