The
congress party does not want to lose any chance to corner the Prime Minister
and in this endeavor, they have been looking for anything and everything. On
Tuesday, congress took out time to revisit the past and brought back an old
tweet to take a jibe over PM Narendra Modi on the ongoing tension between the
two neighboring countries – India and China. It has been reported that both
Indian and Chinese troops are mutually disengaging and withdrawing from the
contested areas along the LAC (Line of Actual Control) in eastern Ladakh.
Congress
leader Randeep Singh Surjewala asked PM Modi if he remember his words,
referring to a tweet that PM Modi made in 2013, when he was still the ChiefMinister of Gujarat.
"Respected
Prime Minister, do you remember your words? Do your words mean anything? Will
you tell us why our forces are retracting from our land? The country seeks
answers," he wrote.
In May
2013, Prime Minister Modi had tweeted: "China withdraws its forces but I
wonder why Indian forces are withdrawing from Indian Territory? Why did we
retreat?"
On Sunday,
china started dismantling camps at PP 14 (Patrol Point 14) in Galwan and
pulling back troops from the area. The move took one day to complete and now
the Chinese forces are two kilometers away from the Galwan Valley, Hot Springsand Gogra.
The Indian
army also moved back to a similar distance although they were already firmly on
the Indian Territory only. This was done to make a peaceful buffer zone between
both the armies.
Congress MP
Shashi Tharoor also retweeted the post and sarcastically wrote; "I stand
with Modiji on this. The PM must answer his question".
