Modi Government’s unpardonable, blatant and brazen compromise of ‘National Security’ & India’s ‘Territorial Integrity’ stand exposed once again. Prime Minister and Defence Minister have undermined the astounding valor and insurmountable grit of our Armed Forces, who faced Chinese incursions and aggressions with indomitable courage and sacrifice.

China claims 90,000 sq km of areas in Arunachal Pradesh as part of the territory of China and calls it Zangnan or south Tibet. China has renamed 15 places in Arunachal Pradesh. The 15 places of Arunachal Pradesh, which were renamed, included eight residential places, four mountains, two rivers and a mountain pass in Arunachal Pradesh.

China introduced a new Land Border Law, which will come into force on January 1, 2022.The new law apparently seeks to legitimize China’s use of the civilian settlement along its disputed boundaries with India and Bhutan.

In last 19 months –

1. Modi Government committed unpardonable compromise with our National Security vis-a-vis our dominant positions in Kailash Ranges.
2. Modi Government undermines India’s Territorial Integrity by withdrawing from Finger 4 to Finger 3 on the Northern Bank of Pangong Tso Lake Area.
3. Why had China occupied India’s territory inside the LAC upto Y-Junction in Depsang Plains? Why had China occupied India’s territory inside the LAC upto Y-Junction in Gogra & Hot Springs?
4. How come China entered into our territory, Arunachal Pradesh and constructed a village, a dual use village? Not just a residential village, it is also a military cantonment.
5. When the GOC in Chief of the Eastern Army Command has said that China is getting active and building infrastructure and roads and highways in the Chumbi valley. Chumbi valley directly affects and threatens the Siliguri corridor, the chicken’s neck, which connects our 7 north eastern states with rest of India. That is the strategic importance of the Siliguri corridor.

Our Demand/Questions –

1. Why is the PM Mum?
2. Why does the Modi Government compromise on our Territorial Integrity?
3. Our Forces have taken on the illegal Chinese incursions into our territory. Why does Modi Government disrespect and dishonour the sacrifice of our brave soldiers?
4. When will Modi Government respond to this verbal, geographic, military and strategic aggression of China?
5. Why are we tolerating all-round aggression from China and doing absolutely nothing about it?
6. Despite a tense military stand-off, why India-China trade crossed the $100 billion Rs. 7.42 Lakh Crore in year 2021?

We urge the Prime Minister to not hide behind smokescreens and answer to the people.
