The Indian National Congress has accused the Modi administration of remaining silent on escalating China face-offs, warning that such silence could jeopardise national security and trade.
On Thursday, the Indian National Congress issued a sharp critique of the Modi government, alleging that it has been silent amid growing tensions with China along the disputed border. The party’s spokesperson highlighted that the administration’s lack of transparency on the situation could undermine India’s security posture.
The Congress warned that prolonged silence might embolden China’s aggressive posturing and could lead to a deterioration of trade relations, citing recent disruptions in cross‑border commerce. It urged the government to adopt a more proactive stance and engage in open dialogue with international partners.
In a statement released after a press conference in New Delhi, Congress leaders called for a comprehensive review of India’s border defence strategy and urged the government to communicate its plans to the public. They also demanded accountability for any perceived inaction.
The Modi administration has been involved in diplomatic talks with Beijing, but Congress argues that these efforts have been insufficient and that the government’s communication strategy has left the public uninformed.
