The Congress on June 19 demanded a white paper on the border situation with China along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and asserted that it would press for a comprehensive discussion on the issue in the Monsoon Session of Parliament.
Addressing a press conference at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters, former Union Minister and senior Congress leader Manish Tewari said three years ago, on June 19, 2020, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had told an all-party meeting on the Galwan clashes that “neither has anyone entered our border, nor any post is in the possession of others”.
Mr. Tewari said the Prime Minister’s remarks were contrary to a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) a day before, where it had clearly stated that the Galwan incident took place because Chinese soldiers tried to intrude and set up tents on the Indian side of the border.
