New delhi date. 2 January 2020, Saturday

A bill condemning China's aggressive stance against India has been passed in the US Congress. The bill has now become law.

Congress has approved the 7 740 billion defense policy bill, as well as rejected President Donald Trump's veto. The bill includes, among other things, a proposal by China criticizing India's aggressive stance on the Ladakh front.

The bill has now become law as the National Defense Authorization Act. It also proposes that China end its aggressive stance against India on the Line of Actual Control. In Congress, lawmakers from both the Democratic and Republican parties have backed the bill.

Trump, however, was opposed to the bill. He says there are some provisions that could jeopardize US national security. However, Trump's objection has been rejected by Congress.

Raja Krishnamurthy, an Indian-origin MP, proposed to include in the bill a proposal criticizing China's attitude towards India. He said the attitude of China towards India was unacceptable and the inclusion of the issue in the bill conveyed the message that the US would continue to support India in the new year.
