‘PM Modi must agree now': Congress seeks debate on China ties; cites Army report on China giving live intel to Pakistan
Jairam Ramesh (File photo) NEW DELHI: The Congress party on Friday asked the Modi government to allow a full debate in parliament on India's relations with China. Senior party leader Jairam Ramesh made the demand concerning the latest confirmation by the army that China supported Pakistan during India's Operation Sindoor . 'This is the same China that changed the status quo in Ladakh five years ago. Yet, on 19 June 2020, Prime Minister Modi publicly gave them a clean chit,' Ramesh said in a post on X. He further said: 'The Modi Govt must agree at least now so that a consensus can be built for a collective response to the geopolitical and economic challenges that China poses to India - directly and through Pakistan." Ramesh also said that Congress had been asking for a detailed debate on India-China relations for five years, but the government had refused. With the monsoon session of parliament set to begin on 21 July, the party plans to raise this issue again. The Congress leader pointed out that China recently held a trilateral meeting with Pakistan and Bangladesh in Kunming, and India's trade deficit with China remained at record levels. He added that the border agreement reached with China had not restored the earlier status quo. Deputy Chief of Army Staff (Capability development and sustenance), Lieutenant General Rahul R Singh on Friday said that China was providing live inputs to Pakistan during India's 'Operation Sindoor'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Speaking at the 'New age military technologies' event organised by FICCI, Lt Gen Singh said, "When the DGMO level talks were going on, Pakistan was getting live inputs of our deployment from China.
