Congress Criticizes PM Modi’s Response to China

The Congress launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, criticizing his response to alleged border incursions by China as “ineffective and feeble.” Congress leader Jairam Ramesh condemned Modi’s remarks in an interview with Newsweek, accusing him of missing an opportunity to send a strong message to China.

Ramesh asserted that Modi’s response may embolden China further in asserting its claim on Indian territory. He demanded an apology from Modi for allegedly deceiving the nation regarding border protection failures. The Congress has consistently targeted the Modi government for its handling of the China border issue, particularly after Home Minister Amit Shah’s recent claim that China hadn’t occupied any Indian territory. Ramesh cited evidence suggesting Chinese encroachments on Indian soil, criticizing the BJP’s approach for complicating India’s stance against China’s actions.
