The Congress has said every patriotic Indian has sought answers on China since the 2020 Galwan incident but the Modi government has chosen to obfuscate and hide the truth with its policy of “DDLJ — deny, distract, lie, and justify”.
According to PTI, The Opposition party also alleged that the Modi government is responsible for the biggest territorial setback India has faced since 1962, and accused it of pursuing “normalisation” with a hostile China because of its cowardice and misplaced economic priorities.
The Congress’ attack on the government came on a day the Supreme Court censured Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi over his alleged derogatory remarks about the Indian Army during his Bharat Jodo Yatra.
The apex court, however, stayed the proceedings initiated in the matter against Gandhi before a Lucknow court.
The top court told Gandhi, “How do you get to know that 2,000 sq km of Indian territory has been occupied by Chinese? Were you there? Do you have any credible material?”
Congress general secretary in-charge of communications Jairam Ramesh said ever since 20 brave soldiers were martyred in Galwan on June 15, 2020, every patriotic Indian has sought answers.
“Yet instead of providing answers, the Modi government for the past five years has chosen to obfuscate and hide the truth with its policy of ‘DDLJ — deny, distract, lie, and justify’,” he said.
In a post on X, Ramesh went on to ask a series of questions.
“Why did the prime pinister give a clean chit to China saying Na koi hamari seema mein ghus aaya hai, na hi koi ghusa hua hai‘ on 19 June 2020, only four days after our soldiers heroically sacrificed their lives for the country in Galwan?” Ramesh said.
