New Delhi: On one hand, there is going to be a bilateral meeting between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia, while on the other hand, Congress has made a scathing attack on PM Modi before this meeting. Not only this, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has also asked 6 sharp questions to the PM.
Days after announcing the agreement with China in eastern Ladakh, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Wednesday hit out at the two countries and termed the more than four-year-long standoff between the two countries as “the stupidity and naivety of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.” Total fault”.
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh asked six direct questions to the BJP-led central government on India's ceasefire with China in eastern Ladakh and said he hoped New Delhi's “worst foreign policy in decades” would be resolved in an honorable manner. Will be done. Congress has asked these questions to the Central Government before the meeting of PM Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping in BRICS.
Jairam Ramesh said, “This tragic incident is a complete indictment of the stupidity and naivety of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the matter of China. Modi was welcomed thrice in a grand manner by China as the Chief Minister of Gujarat. “As Prime Minister, he made five official visits to China and held 18 meetings with Chinese Premier Xi Jinping, including a friendly swing session on the banks of Sabarmati on his 64th birthday.”
The Congress leader further said, “India's situation reached an all-time low on June 19, 2020, when the Prime Minister gave his infamous clean chit to China, saying, “No one has entered our territory, nor has anyone Is infiltrating it.” This statement was made just four days after the Galwan clash, in which 20 of our brave soldiers made the supreme sacrifice.
Jairam Ramesh said this was a gross insult to our martyred soldiers, it also legitimized Chinese aggression and thus hindered the timely resolution of the standoff at the LAC. The Modi government's approach towards the entire crisis can be best described as DDLJ. Deny, distract, lie and justify.
Jairam Ramesh alleged, “Meanwhile, Parliament has been given no opportunity for debate and discussion to reflect our collective resolve to deal with the border challenges for more than four years, as has been the case under previous governments “
He further said, “The cowardly approach of the Modi government was underlined by the statement made by the External Affairs Minister in response to a question on the government's approach towards Chinese intrusion that “Look, they are a big economy. What am I going to do? As a small economy, am I going to fight a big economy?”
“Meanwhile, India’s economic dependence on the “big economy” has increased under the shadow of Chinese aggression,” the Congress general secretary said. Chinese exports to India are projected to grow from $70 billion in 2018-19 to a record $101 billion in 2023-24, while Indian exports to China remained stable at $16 billion. During this, he also asked 6 questions to the Modi government.
