No wonder Chinese state media has only words of praise for Modi: Congress

The Hindu  

Reacting to China’s Global Times article lauding the Narendra Modi government, the Congress said it was no wonder that the Chinese state media has praised him since “the Prime Minister stuck his neck in the sand as a response to China’s intrusions” and has been accommodative of interests of India’s neighbour. After all it was he, and he alone, who — gave a clean chit to the Chinese on 19 June, 2020 with his public statement ‘Na koi hamari seema mein ghus aaya hai, na hi koi ghusa hua hai, na hi hamari koi post kisi dusre ke kabze mein hain’.” The comment, he said, was a “grave insult” to our soldiers and the Prime Minister’s remarks greatly damaged our stance in 18 rounds of Corps Commander-level negotiations and has contributed to continuing Chinese control of 2,000 square km of fresh Indian territory since May 2020. Meanwhile, Bhutan’s Prime Minister stated that “there is no intrusion” by China into Bhutan despite continuing Indian concerns, Mr. Ramesh added. “The Prime Minister stuck his neck in the sand as a response to China’s intrusions, cooperated with its military, allowed it to gain influence in India’s neighbourhood, increased India’s economic dependence on China and permitted the RSS to felicitate its diplomats,” Mr. Ramesh alleged.
