Today @rajnathsingh made a statement on China on behalf of his govt. I have not seen a statement that is so weak & inadequate
This is a 'ghinona mazaak' in name of national security
I wasn't permitted to speak in the House following this statement. If I had, I would have asked:
Why does this statement not say that China is in control of 1000 sq. km of territory that previously we used to patrol? Who's held responsible for this illegal occupation?
Was @PMOIndia right in saying that no Indian territory is occupied & there have been no intrusions?
Remember @AmitShah's "will give life for Aksai Chin" statement in December last year? Have you backtracked from this position & decided to cede territory to China in Ladakh?
How did we lose 20 brave personnel in Galwan? What happened on that night?
Why is the govt not telling the truth about our captive soldiers?
Why didn't you tell Parliament that you demanded China for a status quo to the situation as it was before April 2020? Have you since demanded that the current situation be treated as status quo?
You are talking about talks led by militaries of both sides. Will these talks succeed when previous rounds have failed?
What political guidance has the govt given to the Armed Forces? Why has the political leadership not taken ownership of the process? Why make army the proxy?
Why is this process being pushed on the armed forces? It's not their job to engage in diplomacy - this is your job
Why did India accept Russian mediation on this bilateral issue? Since you've done it, will you do accept mediation for disputes with other neighbors also?
Why does Indian media have to depend only on leaks to get information regarding the situation with China? Why no daily briefings from any spokepersons?
Parliamentary rules allow for a discussion prohibiting media reportage. Why are you avoiding briefing us properly?
This govt is an expert in emotional blackmail. Minister's statement said that Parliament has always stood by our forces & it must do so now. There's no doubt that Parliament is with the forces
BUT WHERE ARE YOU?
Why're you putting onus of a solution on them? This is your job
