Congress MP Jairam Ramesh accused the central government of making concessions to China and remaining silent on border tensions. He alleged the loss of patrolling points in Arunachal Pradesh and raised concerns over China building a large dam.
Congress MP Jairam Ramesh on Friday accused the Centre of making concessions to China and remaining silent on border tensions, alleging the loss of patrolling points in Arunachal Pradesh. He mentioned that corps commander talks were held at Wacha and Damai in Arunachal Pradesh last month after the Taksing face-off. Locals had reported that patrolling points had been lost once again. China continues to rename towns in Arunachal Pradesh and is building a 60,000-MW dam that threatens water security.
India’s trade deficit with China zoomed even further to a record $112 billion in 2025–26, up from $99 billion the previous year. This has crushed MSMEs in many industries, and Make in India has become Import from China. This staggering trade deficit is a significant threat to economic security.
India has been paying the price for the Prime Minister clean chit to China on June 19, 2020. The retired Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Naravane, revealed that the only instructions received during Chinese incursions in Ladakh were to do what was deemed appropriate. Ramesh also referred to statements by Deputy Chief of Army Staff Lt. Gen. Rahul Singh regarding China's role in Pakistan's military campaign during Operation Sindoor, which was later contradicted by retired Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Anil Chauhan.
