'Modi ki Chinese guarantee', Kharge taunts PM amid agitation in Ladakh
New Indian ExpressWangchuk, a renowned education reformist, has been on ‘climate fast' in Leh since March 6, a day after talks between the joint representatives of Leh-based Apex body and Kargil Democratic Alliance heading an agitation in support of four-point demands and the central government hit a deadlock. On the eastern Ladakh standoff, he said despite "at least 19 rounds of one-on-one talks between PM Modi and his Chinese counterpart since 2014, Modi government has failed to ensure status quo ante before 2020". "On June 19, 2020, at the all-party meet on China, the prime minister declared that not a single Chinese soldier had crossed over into Indian territory. "By giving a public clean chit to China, the prime minister has tied his own hands and failed to take action and restore the status quo after Chinese aggression. "This decimation of a crucial domestic industry like steel is not just an economic challenge amidst the unemployment crisis of Modi's Anyay-kaal, it is also a national security threat," Ramesh claimed.
