Amid opposition parties Asking questions about developments on the Current Line of Control, the BJP spoke Saturday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s comments at the all-party meeting and attacked Congress for “asking questions.”

BJP President JP Nadda, who addressed party cadres in Rajasthan and Telangana on virtual platforms, accused Congress of being an “irresponsible” opposition and said its leaders are trying to “demoralize” the nation and the soldiers.

“At the meeting of all the parties, all unanimously supported the Prime Minister. But Congress wanted to know how it happened, why it happened … where it happened … You have been in power, don’t you know how it makes government statements on these issues? Nadda said while on her way to the BJP Rajasthan unit.

“The Prime Minister has made it clear that no one has entered and that no one is there. Indian forces pledge to protect borders. But the irresponsible opposition is trying to find fault, “he said.

Nadda’s comments came after leaders of all party lines sought answers about the murder of 20 soldiers of Prime Minister Modi, who said at the all-party meeting on Friday that there was no intrusion into Indian soil or capture. of any military post.

The Prime Minister’s Office issued a clarification on Saturday saying the violence took place on June 15 because China was trying to erect structures “just on the other side of LAC” and did not desist from such actions.

Citing comments from the father of a wounded soldier who criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Interior Minister Amit Shah tweeted: “The father of a brave military man speaks and has a very clear message for Mr. Rahul Gandhi.” At a time when the entire nation is united, Mr. Rahul Gandhi must also rise above petty politics and stand in solidarity with the national interest. ”

Nadda ridiculed Rahul Gandhi for asking who sent the unarmed soldiers into danger. “Why does the Congress party show its intelligence? He asked why the soldiers went there unarmed? Don’t you know the international laws? Why are you exposing the limits of your knowledge? You have become aware of a problem that could demoralize the soldiers, ”said Nadda.

Meanwhile, some non-BJP CMs spoke out against the “manufactured controversy” and the “comment” surrounding the gathering of all parties.

YSRCP chief and Andhra Pradesh Prime Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said he was “concerned about the fabricated controversy” surrounding the gathering of all parties. “This is the time to show our unity and solidarity with our armed forces and not the time to point the finger … The Honorable Prime Minister and other ministers gave very convincing responses at the APM …” he tweeted.

Telangana Prime Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao tweeted: “The time is not for politics … We may have our differences in politics, but we are united by our patriotism … we are very happy with the meeting of all parties”.

SKM leader and Sikkim Prime Minister Prem Singh Tamang said the prime minister’s statements at the all-party meeting were “crystal clear in reaffirming India’s position on the China issue.”

PNP and Meghalaya leader CM Conrad Sangma said “the prime minister’s responses clearly reflected India’s strong position when it comes to safeguarding our sovereignty.” All other “comments” can be better ignored. ”
