NEW DELHI: Terming Narendra Modi‘s remark on China as cowardice, Congress Thursday accused the Prime Minister of disrespecting the martyrs of Galwan clashes, and demanded that he apologise to the country for his clean chit to China on its invasion of Indian territory in 2020. AICC spokesman Jairam Ramesh also accused UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath of giving a clean chit to Pakistan for promoting terrorism in India.
Ramesh slammed Modi’s interview to the Newsweek where he called the relationship with China as significant and said “it is my belief that we need to urgently address the prolonged situation on our borders so that the abnormality in our bilateral interactions can be put behind us.”
Ramesh said Modi’s “ineffective and feeble” response to China was an insult to the country, and that he should apologise to 140 crore Indians for his June 2020 statement that “no one has entered India nor has anyone occupied any post”. “The PM had a chance to send a powerful message to China. However, his ineffective and feeble response is likely to only encourage China further in asserting its claim on Indian territory,” he said.
“The PM’s reaction to the China issue is not only disgraceful but also disrespectful to our martyrs who made the supreme sacrifice in defending our borders,” he added. He also accused the PM of keeping the nation in the dark about his failures in protecting the borders with China.
Meanwhile, Ramesh accused UP CM Adityanath of giving a clean chit to Pakistan on the issue of terrorism. Reacting to the Adityanath’s statement in Kathua that Article 370 was the root cause of terror, he said, “One is compelled to ask: what about the LeT, ISI, JeM, or any other militant groups? Why link terrorism to a domestic Constitutional provision, one which was introduced when Sardar Patel and Syama Prasad Mukherjee – and even Dr Ambedkar – were in the Union Cabinet? Why give a clean chit to the cross-border sponsors and patrons of terror?”
