Congress Criticises BRICS Declaration for Omitting Galwan Clash and Arunachal Dispute

The Indian National Congress has publicly denounced the recent BRICS declaration for failing to mention the 2020 Galwan River clash between Indian and Chinese forces. The party argued that the omission undermines India's security concerns and the broader context of the Sino-Indian border dispute. In a statement released by the party, leaders highlighted the significance of the Galwan incident as a turning point in Indo‑Chinese relations. They called on BRICS members to acknowledge the clash and the ongoing Arunachal Pradesh dispute in future communiqués. The criticism comes as India seeks to strengthen its diplomatic stance amid rising tensions along the Line of Actual Control.
