"Break Silence On China": Congress To PM Modi On Border Clash In Arunachal

The opposition party also posed questions to the government on the Sino-India border issue, saying the nation demands and deserves answers to them.

The Congress on Sunday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of "running away" from a debate in Parliament on the situation along the border with China and said he and not the defence minister must answer on this issue.

The opposition party also posed questions to the government on the Sino-India border issue, saying the nation demands and deserves answers to them.

In a statement, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh asked after two years of a protracted "disengagement", what emboldened the Chinese to try taking over the Indian post in the Yangtse area of Tawang.

India has dominated Yangtse since PM Rajiv Gandhi deployed forces there in 1986 during the Sumdorong Chu confrontation, Mr Ramesh said and asked how the Chinese dared to open a new front.
