Congress to corner Centre on China

Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi: As the first phase of the Budget Session of Parliament starts on Tuesday, the Congress will lead the charge with cornering the government on Chinese incursions. “No amount of obfuscation can hide the Modi government’s failed China policy and its attempt to cover up India’s biggest territorial setback in decades,” the Congress alleged on Monday, hitting out at external affairs minister S. Jaishankar. Communications chief of the Congress Jairam Ramesh said, “No amount of obfuscation can hide the fact that the Modi government has sought to cover up India’s biggest territorial setback in decades that followed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s naive wooing of President Xi.” “We suggest that Jaishankar and the government spend more time trying to get Chinese troops out of Depsang and Demchok, and less time on blaming the Opposition for their own incompetence,” he said. Congress President and Leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “clean chit” to China is costing the nation its territorial integrity. The Congress has been demanding the government take concrete steps over alleged Chinese incursions in various border areas, including Arunachal Pradesh.
