Sonia lashes out at government over silence on India-China border issue
Deccan ChronicleNew Delhi: Congress Parliamentary Party leader Sonia Gandhi lashed out at the government on Wednesday for “stubbornly” refusing to allow a discussion on the India-China border issue in Parliament, and said its silence on matters of serious concern has become its defining feature. Addressing party MPs at the general body meeting of the Congress Parliamentary Party in the Central Hall of Parliament, she also accused the government of delegitimising the judiciary and termed it as a “troubling new development”. On the contrary, by following divisive policies, by spreading hatred and targeting some sections of our society, the government makes it harder for the country to stand up as one against foreign threats.” She further added: “The government is also actively engaged in targeting the Opposition and any questioning voices, manipulating the media and undermining the institutions which stand in their way. This is happening not only in the Centre, but also in every state where the ruling party governs.” Mrs Sonia Gandhi also accused the government of making an effort to reduce the standing of the judiciary in the eyes of the public.
