'The whole nation should unite and respond to China': Manmohan Singh

New delhi date. Monday, June 22, 2020

Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has urged the Modi government to respond to China. While paying tributes to the soldiers who were martyred in the Ladakh border dispute, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh expressed the feeling that the sacrifices of the soldiers should not go in vain. "This is the time for the whole nation to unite and we must unite and respond to this misfortune," he said.

Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said, "On June 15-16, 20 Indian soldiers made the supreme sacrifice in the Galvan Valley. These grandchildren of the country defended the country till their last breath. We are grateful to these brave soldiers and their families for this supreme sacrifice, but this sacrifice should not go in vain. '

"We are standing at a critical juncture in history," Manmohan Singh said. The decisions of our government and the actions of the government will determine how future generations will assess us. There is a serious responsibility of duty on the shoulders of those who lead the country. In our democracy, this is the responsibility of the Prime Minister.

The former prime minister said, "The prime minister should always be very careful about the impact of his words and advertisements on the security of the country and the interests of the world and the region." China has forcibly infiltrated the Galvan Valley and Pangong Tso Lake area several times since April.

On the issue of Chinese infiltration, Manmohan Singh said, "We will not bow to the pressure of their threats and will not accept any compromise with the integrity of our territory." The prime minister should not reinforce his (China's) conspiracy with his statements and ensure that all organs of government work in concert to counter the threat and prevent the situation from escalating.

Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said that it was time for the entire nation to unite and respond to the misfortune by uniting. We warn the government that misleading propaganda can never be a substitute for diplomacy and strong leadership. The truth cannot be suppressed by the pretense of lies spread by one's own associates.
