In an X post by the Congress President Shri Mallikarjun Kharge on August 14, 2026, he said that disturbing reports suggest that China is attempting to push further into areas in Arunachal Pradesh, an inalienable part of our nation. This demands immediate answers from the Modi Govt.

• Has the PLA expanded its presence near Taksing and has India lost regular access to Shera-5, a designated Patrolling Point? • Why is Indian patrolling reportedly limited during winter in this sensitive sector while the PLA maintains a year-round presence? Why are traditional grazing and hunting grounds becoming inaccessible to local communities? • Has the pre-May 2020 status quo ante in Eastern Ladakh been fully restored? The BJP is culpable in hiding facts about situation on the ground and taking Parliament into confidence whether India retains full access to all areas and Patrolling Points it accessed prior to May 2020. • Let us not forget that after 20 of our brave soldiers made the supreme sacrifice in Galwan in 2020, none less than PM Modi gave China a “CLEAN CHIT”, emboldening their transgressions! That record inspires no confidence. • The Prime Minister, Defence Minister and Home Minister must answer the nation. • We have complete faith in the courage and capability of the Indian Armed Forces. India stands firmly behind our soldiers and united against any Chinese aggression.
