Prime minister Narendra Modi convenes all party meeting on 19th June. Rahul Gandhi asks PM to speak out on the Galwan valley tragedy ?

Prime minister has convened the all party meeting on 19th June in Delhi. The Prime Minister’s Office has tweeted today that prime minister Narendra Modi has convened an All Party high level meeting of all the political parties in New Delhi on 19th June.

This significant all party meeting has been convened by prime minister Narendra Modi in view of the martydom of 20 Indian Army brave hearts including a Colonel Santosh Babu at Eastern Ladakh’s Galwan Valley yesterday in which about 40 Chinese soldiers have also been killed n grievously injured.

The situation at the LAC in Ladakh and at various border positions at Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Nepal side and Uttarakhand is extremely critical and the Indian Army has enhanced its troops, arms n amunitions as well as defence equipments to effectively counter Chinese misadventures in the near future, especially after the violent premeditated clashes in Galwan Valley.

The Congress party and its leader Rahul Gandhi and various opposition parties have been assuring PM Narendra Modi that the entire nation is with them but accusing him of not speaking a word on the prevailing situation despite arbitrary transgressions of the LAC by Chinese soldiers, entering several kilometres inside Indian territories and claiming the precious twenty Indian lives in Galwan valley.

Rahul Gandhi while assuring the PM of the opposition parties’ continued support on this issue also questioned him as to why he is not issuing any statement on this pivotal issue despite 20 deaths of our brave soldiers n why is he hiding. Why is the PM hiding n not speaking anything, questioned Rahul Gandhi ?

He catagorically asked : how can China grab the Indian territories ? Rahul Gandhi also tweeted : Why is the PM 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 lands?

According to the latest news reports, the decision of prime minister Narendra Modi to convene an all party meeting on 19th June to be perhaps deliberated through vedio conferencing or through physical attendence of all leaders at the PM office or his official residence , a very significant decision is expected be taken to effectively counter expansionist, erroneous, notorious and decietful China for killing our 20 Army troopers and always trying to bully India by transgressing our own lands, violating LAC.

Moreover, there is tremendous pressure on the prime minister Narendra Modi and the NDA government to strongly counter China’s every coward move by avenging the merciless deaths of 20 Indian troopers in Galwan Valley, Eastern Ladakh as almost in every state of the country mass demonstrations and burning of effigies demanding immediate attack on China are taking place.

The entire television news channels n social media are also exhibiting anguished and traumatic feelings of countrymen including the leaders of opposition parties against China demanding a strong retaliation by the government.

However while the Indian government is of the strong view of resolving the crisis / stand off with force and restraint as well, diplomatically, the recent statement of the Chinese foreign office has instead of resolving the issue peacefully has blamed and accused Indian army troopers of forcibly transgressing Chinese border and instigating n attacking the PLA troopers. It has also staked its arbitrary claim on Indian side of Galwan valley area saying that it’s already in China’s control since ages.

Meanwhile the Defence minister is holding meetings with all the three defence chiefs, CDS chief Vipin Rawat, NSA Ajit Doval n foreign minister Jai Shankar Prasad as well. Latest reports suggest that the infantary ( Army chief Narvane) has been given full discretionery authority to strongly retaliate the erroneous Chinese in case of any transgression n notoriety as was the case in Galwan Valley.

Kindly recall that the Galwan valley clash was the biggest confrontation between the two militaries after their 1967 clashes in Nathu La in 1967 when India lost around 80 soldiers while over 300 Chinese army personnel were killed in the confrontation.
