Follow 'raj dharma', tell people about reality of Chinese incursions: Congress to PM

The Congress on Saturday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to follow his “raj dharma” and tell the country about the reality of the Chinese “incursions” in Ladakh. The party also invoked Jawaharlal Nehru to suggest that India’s first Prime Minister never accepted the Chinese claim line and Beijing had accepted during his tenure that Galwan Valley belongs to India.

Addressing a virtual press conference, Congress leader Kapil Sibal said satellite images of Pangong Tso from May and June showed Chinese structures in the area and asked the Prime Minister to at least speak the truth.

Referring to PM Modi’s visit to Ladakh, Sibal said former Prime Ministers Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri had visited forward locations to boost the morale of soldiers. Nehru, he said, visited soldiers in forward locations in NEFA in 1962 but “it appears that our Prime Minister stayed 230 kms away in Nimu, Leh”.
