The Congress on May 22 accused the Narendra Modi government of failing to restore the status quo in Depsang in eastern Ladakh in the last three years and said it would be “unforgivable” to allow the situation to worsen.
Congress general secretary (communications) Jairam Ramesh said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “clean chit” to China on June 19, 2020 has immeasurably weakened India’s negotiating position and it is paying a heavy price for it.
Expressing concern over the “very worrisome” situation at the border as highlighted in a news report, he said access to the strategic sector of Depsang has been denied to Indian patrols for more than three years now, with no signs of a return to the status quo.
