The Story in Brief
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged on Thursday that China has stopped Indian troops from patrolling in certain areas along the Line of Actual Control in Arunachal Pradesh. Speaking at the 'Rachnatmak Congress' national convention, Gandhi claimed he had information from inside the PMO that the government was trying to hide the development. He accused Prime Minister Modi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Home Minister Amit Shah of inaction.
The government has not officially commented on the allegation. The MEA said on Tuesday it considers border matters 'most serious' and stressed maintaining peace along the LAC. China on Wednesday called the border situation 'generally stable' but declined to comment on reports of increased Chinese military activity near Arunachal. The Congress has demanded a multi-party delegation to assess the ground situation and that Modi raise the issue directly with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The Indian Opinion
Opposition allegations of Chinese incursions are too often waved away as political mischief, yet the MEA's own statement speaks of 'most serious' border matters. Rahul Gandhi cites inside sources; the government offers no denial. Either China has indeed blocked patrols in Taksing, or this is sabre-rattling for domestic gain. The public deserves a clear timeline of patrol access from the Army. Until Modi addresses the charge directly, every denial rings hollow.
