EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, June 21: Former Minister & President DCC Kathua Dr Manohar Lal Sharma paid tributes the martyred soldiers in Galwan valley and said that their martyrdom should not go in vain and said GOI should not sit back quietly and also lambasted PM and other Minister for giving contradictory statements.
A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted that Chinese troops did not intrude into Indian territory, Congress leader slammed the government saying that his remarks have left everyone baffled and bewildered. He said that the statement of the Prime Minister contradicts earlier statements made by Chief of Army Staff General M.M. Naravane, Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar. Lambasting the Prime Minister, Manohar said, "It is quite obvious that the Prime Minister’s statement contradicts the earlier statements made by the Chief of Army Staff, the Defence Minister and the Foreign Minister. “The Congress leader said that if the Prime Minister’s statement reflects the correct position, we would like to ask the government a few questions. "If no Chinese troops had crossed the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and are in Indian territory, what was the face-off on May 5-6, 2020? Between May 5 and June 6, what was the issue on which local Indian commanders were talking to their Chinese counterparts? What was the subject matter of the negotiations between the Corps Commanders of the two countries on June 6?"
Referring to the martyrdom of 20 Indian soldiers in Ladakh''s Galwan valley by the Chinese People Liberation Army (PLA) troops in an unprecedented attack, Manohar said, "We would also like to ask, if no Chinese troops were inside Indian territory, where did the clashes take place on June 15-16? Where were 20 Indian soldiers martyred and 85 injured?" His remarks came after PM Modi categorically stated at the all-party meeting on the Chinese intrusion in the Galwan Valley and the killing of Indian soldiers that "no Indian post or territory is occupied by anyone."
He said Congress party and every person of India is standing in support of our defense forces but government should clear air on the contradictory statements made and china should learn lessons so that in near future it will not raise his eyes towards INDIA again and India’s Foreign policy towards china need to be reviewed. |
