The Congress party alleged that the government's response from the Galwan clash to the Sindoor issue reflects a calibrated capitulation before China. The accusation was made in a statement referencing both incidents.
The Congress party issued a statement criticising the government's handling of bilateral relations with China, saying its actions from the 2020 Galwan Valley clash to the recent Sindoor issue show a pattern of calibrated capitulation. The party argued that instead of a firm stance, the government's responses appear calibrated to avoid provoking Beijing, which it argues compromises national interests.
Congress leaders urged the government to adopt a clearer, more assertive policy toward China, warning that continued concessions could embolden further aggression. They called for a review of the current approach to ensure that territorial sovereignty and strategic interests are not undermined.
The statement did not provide specific details about the Sindoor reference but linked it to recent developments perceived as weak. The party maintained that the pattern from Galwan to Sindoor indicates a need for a stronger, more consistent posture in dealing with China.
