Hyderabad, Oct 23 AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday said the “serious” situation on the China border needs a comprehensive and independent report that should be presented before the country and demanded that a special session of Parliament be convened to discuss the situation.
Reacting to comments by ITBP Director General Shatrujeet Kapur that confrontations with Chinese troops continue to take place at a number of areas along the border in Arunachal Pradesh, Owaisi in a series of posts on ‘X’ attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi alleging there has been a pattern in the Modi government to keep the people in the dark about the real situation on the border.
“No discussion takes place in the Parliament, no questions are allowed, PM Modi doesn’t hold a press conference and even when he has spoken, as in June 2020, he has claimed that there were no Chinese on the Indian territory. That was obviously not true or factual,” the Hyderabad MP said in a post.
In another post, he said “the confirmation by the DG ITBP of the situation on the Arunachal border with China is extremely concerning, particularly because of the concerted effort by the @narendramodi government to keep the country in the dark about what has gone on. I have raised this issue even earlier and have not got any answers from the government. Now we know why.”
He said after the ITBP chief’s statement, there is a need for a complete clarification on the number of places in Arunachal where the “Chinese troops have intruded, stopped our patrols and citizens and are refusing to leave”.
The AIMIM chief said the country also needs to know for how many months has this gone on, and why has the government was friendly with China during this period.
He further asked was the Narendra Modi government even capable of defending and securing Indian territory.
“The serious situation on the China border needs a comprehensive and independent report that should be presented before the country. Even a special session of Parliament be convened to discuss the situation and the current government’s policy towards China,” he said.
“The least that this country deserves is the truth, honesty and political accountability, when it comes to such core issues that affect the territorial integrity of India,” Owaisi said.
