Owaisi questions Centre over China's claim on PLA disengagement in Ladakh

|HT|

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday questioned the Centre over its silence over the last two rounds of military talks between India and China on the border dispute in Ladakh and demanded a proper debate in Parliament over the issue. Chinese foreign ministry, said that soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) have disengaged in the Hot Spring area of Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh. In a series of tweets, Owaisi asked, "Will the Government please confirm whether this is true? If that is so, what were the last two rounds of border talks about?"

In another tweet, the AIMIM MP said the attitude and approach of the government on sensitive issues of national security, including our territorial integrity, is unacceptable. "I have personally been raising questions repeatedly about situation on the Ladakh border where our soldiers are being denied access to territories they patrolled earlier. But the Govt has refused to state the truth so far, even in Parliament, resorting to silence and misdirection... There should be a proper debate in Parliament about the Ladakh border crisis and on our strategy to deal with China," he wrote.
