New Delhi, Jan 11: Expressing serious concern over the Chinese making a 1.3 km of road inside
Arunachal Pradesh , the Congress on Thursday cautioned the Government to remain
more proactive to such transgressions.
Addressing reporters here, AICC spokesperson Tom Vadakkan
said, ' The Congress party has unequivocally supported our Armed Forces and the
Government on issues of National Security; however the recent attempt by China
to foster a Doklam 2.0, this time in Arunachal Pradesh has raised serious
concerns. Even though we commend our security forces that have timely prevented
further road construction in the Upper Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh,
last month; yet we want to caution the Government so that it remains more
proactive to such transgressions. '
Charging the Modi government of compromising National security, Mr Vadakkan said, ' False Bravado, Chest Thumping and TV Studio Warfare are the tools employed by the Modi Government to manage the headlines when it comes to critical issues of National Security. But the reality and actuality of their tall claims are getting unraveled day by day. As the Modi Government completes 43 months in office, it has become increasingly evident that its directionless policies are harming India’s strategic interests and compromising National Security.'
In this context, he said that there has been a 48 per cent increase in the number of face-offs on the LAC along the border with China last year.
'There was a marked increase in the number of Chinese transgressions into the Indian side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in 2017- the Indian and Chinese armies were involved in a 73-day face-off at Doklam on the Sikkim-Bhutan border. The number of face-offs on the LAC also shot up by 48 per cent last year. There were 415 transgressions by Chinese soldiers into the Indian side of the LAC in 2017 — as against 271 in 2016. In fact, more than 120 Chinese intrusions took place in the month of May-June (2017) itself,' he said.
He also attacked the Modi Government on the reports of the scrapping of the Minesweeper project and India’s Indigenous nuclear submarine INS Arihant having suffered major damage due to 'human error'. UNI
