Cong questions PM Modi over stand on China

All are blow hards in NDA/BJP talk about taking PoK & Gilgit-Baltistan back from Pak but none of them have gumption to say that we will take Askai Chin back from the Chinese that was illegally ceded to it by Pakistan in 1963 — Manish Tewari, Cong leader

The Congress Party on Thursday questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his China stand and asked why doesn’t India say that it was watching the muzzling of pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong, when Chinese President Xi Jingping said he was watching Kashmir.

“Xi Jingping says he is watching Kashmir but why does @PMOIndia/MEA not say 1) We are watching pro-democracy protests muzzled in Hong Kong. 2) We are watching human rights violations in Xinjiang 3) We are watching continued oppression in Tibet 4) We are watching South China Sea,” Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari tweeted.

“All are blow hards in NDA/BJP talk about taking PoK & Gilgit-Baltistan back from Pak but none of them have gumption to say that we will take Askai Chin back from the Chinese that was illegally ceded to it by Pakistan in 1963. Will @PMOIndia raise return of Askai Chin with Xi,” he further tweeted. Mr Tewari dared India to also ask China about Aksai Chin, which he claimed has been illegally ceded by Pakistan to the country. The Punjab MP also asked as to why India does not raise the issue of human rights violations in Xinjiang, the way China keeps raising the Kashmir issue.

The Chinese President, who is scheduled to visit India on Friday to hold 2nd informal summit with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, had assured Imran Khan during a meeting about the friendship between China and Pakistan.

A release said the Chinese side reiterated that the Kashmir issue is a dispute left from history, and should be properly and peacefully resolved based on the UN charter.
