Statement made on Twitter by Mallikarjun Kharge, President, Indian National Congress
New developments at India’s two-front security paradigm has yet again exposed Modi Govt’s rank apathy.
China
▪️ Is it not true that China has built and operationalised a bridge connecting the north and south banks of Pangong Lake, which allows it to have a strategic dominance in the sector, close to our LAC?
▪️ Is it not a fact that China has started constructing a new village along the LAC in the Demchok sector, which along with Depsang, is a point of standoff, post-Galwan?
Pakistan
▪️ Is it not true, that since PM @narendramodi took oath, there have been 25 terror attacks in Jammu & Kashmir, particularly in Jammu region, where 15 soldiers/security personnel have been martyred and 27 have been injured?
▪️ Is it not a fact that Pak-sponsored terrorism has now spread to 3 new districts of Jammu & Kashmir – Doda, Kathua, and Reasi and the share of civilian deaths in such incidents across Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) has been disproportionately high — in fact, the highest in about two decades?
These are extremely serious and sensitive issues of National Security, and needs a united & collective approach.
Parliament must be taken into confidence by the Modi Govt, but in its false bravado & hollow propaganda, it has forgotten that it also has the responsibility to protect India’s strategic interests.
