Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge criticized the Modi Government's approach to China, alleging that it has endangered India's territorial integrity and national security while neglecting Ladakh's Constitutional rights.

 

He said, "Modi Ki Guarantee! In Ladakh, there is a strong wave of public support, with unified calls for protection for tribal communities under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution."

 

Kharge's comments came amidst climate activist Sonam Wangchuk's hunger strike advocating for Ladakh's Statehood and Constitutional safeguard

Kharge's concern highlights Ladakh's political autonomy and the broader implications for India-China relations.

 

He voiced the need for the government to address the aspirations of Ladakhi people and safeguard India's strategic interests.

 

Meanwhile, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh echoed Kharge's sentiments, questioning the Prime Minister's response to Chinese aggression.

 

Ramesh alleged, "PM Modi’s CLEAN CHIT to China after Galwan Valley has emboldened the expansionist nature of China at our strategic borders."

 

He raised concerns about Chinese influence in India's neighbourhood and its impact on India's strategic position. Ramesh also criticized the government's economic policies, attributing rising imports from China to its failures.

 

He highlighted the plight of domestic industries, particularly in Gujarat, where many MSMEs have closed due to competition from Chinese imports.

 

The Congress leaders' statements reflect broader criticisms of the Modi Government's handling of China and its economic policies.

 

 As India faces security challenges and economic vulnerabilities, questions persist about the government's response and long-term strategy.

 

Additionally, China has become Maldives’s largest external creditor, with an outstanding debt of about USD 1.37 billion, he pointed out.

 

“Maldives has also deployed Turkish-made military drones with attack capabilities to replace the Indian aerial watch,” he said.

 

The upcoming Lok Sabha elections provide an opportunity for political parties to address these concerns and articulate their vision for Ladakh's future and India's security interests.

 

With Ladakh emerging as a focal point for regional and national politics, the electoral outcomes could shape India's geopolitical landscape.
