Accusing the Narendra Modi government of a “very weak response” after China renamed 30 places in Arunachal Pradesh, the Congress on Tuesday asked why the Modi government cannot utter a word against China if it can display a “muscular” attitude on Katchatheevu.
Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters, senior leader and Lok Sabha member Manish Tewari slammed the BJP for its campaign against former Prime Minister late Indira Gandhi. Hitting out at the BJP for suggesting that Mrs Gandhi gifted Katchatheevu to Sri Lanka, Mr. Tewari said it was laughable to suggest this about a Prime Minister who divided Pakistan into two parts and did not care about threats from the United States.
“It is ridiculous to imagine that the Prime Minister who changed the geography of South Asia would give any territorial concessions to any other country,” Mr. Tewari said.
