New delhi date. 3 July 2020, Friday

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's sudden visit to Leh has provoked a backlash from the Congress. Congress leader Manish Tewari sarcastically wrote in the aftermath of Prime Minister Modi's visit, "When Indira Gandhi went to Leh, Pakistan was torn in two. Now that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reached Leh, let's see what happens now. '

The Congress leader posted a picture of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's visit to Leh in her tweet. In the picture, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi is seen addressing troops in Ladakh. According to a speculation, the Bharatiya Janata Party will also need a counterattack after Manish Tiwari's sarcasm.

Neemu is the front post
Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached the front outpost Nimu with the army in Leh. The site is located at an altitude of 11,000 feet above sea level. The Prime Minister has shocked everyone with this surprise visit. He was accompanied by CDS General Bipin Rawat and Army Chief MM Narwane.

Shiv Sena praised
In this regard, Shiv Sena has praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Leh. Shiv Sena spokesperson Priyanka Chaturvedi described Prime Minister Modi's visit to Leh-Ladakh as very important. According to him, the visit has sent a message of solidarity to the soldiers. On the one hand, Prime Minister Modi has arrived in Leh at a time when tensions are running high with China on the border. At the Nimu front in Leh, the Prime Minister met and listened to Army and Air Force officials. Army officials briefed the Prime Minister on the current status of the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

Defense Minister's visit postponed
CDS Rawat was scheduled to accompany Defense Minister Rajnath Singh to Leh but his visit was postponed on Thursday evening due to unavoidable reasons. The CDS was then reported to have reached Leh this morning but no one doubted that the Prime Minister himself would reach there. The prime minister's visit comes amid tensions on the border with China following the violence in the Galvan Valley.
