Show up Modiji, it's time to stand up to China: Priyanka


New Delhi, Jun 17 (IANS): Questioning the Narendra Modi-led government's silence over the killing of 20 Indian Army soldiers in Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh on Monday night by the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) troops, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi has slammed the government, saying India deserved a leadership that is willing to do anything before allowing its land to be taken.

"Our land, our sovereignty is being threatened, our soldiers and officers have been martyred, are we just going to remain silent? India deserves the truth. It deserves a leadership that is willing to do anything before allowing its land to be taken," Priyanka Gandhi said in a series of tweets.

"Show up Narendra Modiji, it's time to stand up to China," the Congress in-charge for eastern Uttar Pradesh said.

Her remarks came a day after Indian Army said that 20 army men, including officers, were killed in an unprecedented violent clash with PLA troops in Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh on Monday night.

Indian Army issued a statement on Tuesday night wherein it said, "17 Indian troops who were critically injured in the line of duty at the standoff location and exposed to sub-zero temperatures in the high altitude terrain have succumbed to their injuries, taking the total that were killed in action to 20."

Congress spokesperson and Lok Sabha MP from Punjab, Manish Tewari, also slammed the government, saying this was a national humiliation.

"20 Indian soldiers including officers dead -- maybe more missing without a shot being fired. Number of casualties on Chinese side yet unknown. India must respond at a time and place of it's choosing. This is a National Humiliation. The Prime Minister must speak up," Tewari said in a tweet.

Former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi has also demanded Modi to break his silence and tell the reality to the nation.

Rahul Gandhi said in a tweet, "Why is the Prime Minister silent? Why is he hiding? Enough is enough. We need to know what has happened. How dare China kill our soldiers? How dare they take our land?"

    Don't bring any political views in Army matters, Support the government to encourage our soldiers...

    Army is trained NOT to be swayed by any politics.

    Army is trained to receive orders from the elected Government.

    But the elected Government is nowhere to be seen or heard. That is the problem right now.

    The Indians who followed RSS' history have been woken up by the disciplined Chinese.

    RSS did not join the 1942 Quit India movement. Congress fought and won the freedom.

    But the maps were all haphazard.

    So there will be plenty of pain ahead. RSS is very quiet.

    This should be another oppurtunity for the DK and Mangaluru Congress to state a massive protest. COVID19 and China issue should be taken up by the local Cong leaders and supporters. ONly then the party can revive. Too much dependence on Raga and Priyanka may take a toll at regional levels.

    Now Modiji will not address the nation
    It will be Shah or Defense Minister as per my opinion.

    None of the politicians are dying for India, It is our front line warriors. But politicians will think twice how to use the situation for the upcoming election of any state or central and will address nation accordingly.

    After Rafael debacle CONgis woke up with another issue. Nowadays no 2G, 3G, Jijaji like corruption only CONgis start barking for something they smell danger for their future vote share. Very soon all these barking CONgis will say Modi created this mess just for vote & asked Chinese to fire & killl Indian soldiers. CONgies never bother about lives of soldier they just want credit should not go to Modi.

    Ms. Ganhdi have a patience. Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi meditating in a holy cave near Kedarnath Temple. He is in deep 'Thapsya' for divine intervention to use his 'Rafale Jet' to crush 'Limboo' and Apache and Chinook purchased from Americans thrice price to shower 'flower petals'.

    Until that countries command is taken over by 'Boycott China' by Whatsapp graduated from its party IT cell using Chinese 'Made for US' Iphone.

    Let's wait for Sambit Patra to address the nation. Ministry of Defense on leave due to 'Covid-19' outbreak. So wait for Ministry of culture to address the statement.

    Hope RSS Chief may have already prepared is 10 crores for full combat in front-line to face off China and get the trophy 'Akshai-Chin' back to India.
