The Congress on Saturday demanded clarity from the central government over the border tension with China in Ladakh. The party urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to inform the citizens of the country about the outcomes of the repeated dialogue with the Chinese side.
Congress’ chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said it was the prime minister and the defence minister’s “rajdharma” (duty of the rulers) to take the nation into confidence on the important matter. “What is the conversation about, what is happening,” he asked while listing the various talks held with the Chinese side. “Will Prime Minister Modi and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh take the country into confidence?”
In a video posted on Twitter, Surjewala said people wanted answers to questions such as how the Chinese will be repulsed to “reclaim our motherland”. “We hope Prime Minister Modi and the defence minister will come forward and take the nation into confidence,” he added. “That is the true Rajdharma.
