The Congress has launched a scathing attack on the central government over the way of dealing with the situation on the border with China. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Monday accused the government of adopting the ‘DDLJ’ policy – “refuse, distracting, lying and justifying”. The Congress leader raised many sharp questions and alleged that the government’s attitude focuses on accountability and avoiding investigation.
He wrote in a social media post, “Since the martyrdom of 20 brave soldiers in Galwan on 15 June 2020, every patriot Indian has been seeking answers to some questions. Nevertheless, instead of answering, the Modi government has been choosing its DDLJ – denying, distracting, lying and justifying the truth for the last five years.” The statement came after the Supreme Court reprimanded Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his claim that China has captured more than 2,000 kilometers of Indian land. After Rahul’s statement, BJP leaders launched a scathing attack.
Jairam Ramesh has asked eight sharp questions to the BJP government, in which the Prime Minister’s 2020 statement exposed the alleged contradictions. These questions also point to the continuous economic dependence on China, despite the ongoing tension on the border and the alleged support of Beijing to the Pakistani Army during the vermilion. Jairam Ramesh questioned, “Why did the Prime Minister give a clean chit to China on 19 June 2020, only four days after our soldiers in the Galwan, only four days after our soldiers sacrificed their lives for the country.
He asked if the military withdrawal agreement signed on October 21, 2024 really restore the status quo of April 2020, as the Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi said. The Congress leader further sought clarification whether the Indian patrol team now needed China’s consent to reach patrol posts in the border areas, where they could first reach independently under India’s regional rights.
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh also cited the 2020 reports that claimed that about 1,000 square kilometers of land in East Ladakh had come under China’s occupation, and demanded accountability for it. This land includes 900 square kilometers of depsang.
While further attacking the government, he questioned, “Is it not true that the Modi government is trying to ‘normalization’ with the country which played an important role in the military operations of Pakistan during Operation Sindoor and provided it to J-10C fighter aircraft and PL-15 The air-like missiles that were provided? Singh had said that India had given ‘live input’ in military operations.
Supreme Court reprimanded Rahul Gandhi …
The Supreme Court reprimanded Rahul Gandhi to claim that China had taken over more than 2,000 km of Indian land. The court said that a ‘true Indian’ would not make such a statement. However, the court stayed the defamation trial filed against him for this statement. Hearing the defamation petition filed on his statement, the court questioned, “How did you find out that China has captured the 2,000 km of land? If you were a true Indian, he would not say that.”
What did the Supreme Court say?
During a press conference in Rajasthan in 2022, Rahul Gandhi questioned the BJP’s silence on the alleged capture of 2,000 square kilometers of Indian land by China and the BJP’s silence on its invasion of the Indian Army. “People said,” People will ask about India’s journey, here and there, Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot etc., but they will capture 2000 square kilometers and capture 2000 sq km Indian land, we will capture 2000 square kilometers and our Arunchal state The Indian media will not ask them a single question about beating the soldiers?
