China has occupied Y junction in Ladakh: Congress leader Kapil Sibal

The Congress on Saturday sharpened its attack on Key Minister Narendra Modi in excess of the India-China face-off, accusing him of offering inconsistent statements on the concern. It stated the Chinese troopers have occupied ‘Y’ junction in Ladakh and are pretty close to Burtse city.

Addressing a digital push meeting, previous Union Minister and senior Congress chief Kapil Sibal gave the reference of historic Chinese armed forces strategist Sunlight Tzu who gave four ideas of warfare — subdue enemy without the need of fight, exploit opponent’s weaknesses, camouflage offence as defence and all warfare is dependent on deception.

“The Chinese are now applying the identical methods with us. They have occupied the bottleneck ‘Y’ junction in Ladakh’s Depsang plains, which is 18 km inside of the Indian territory in Ladakh,” Sibal reported.

He stated Indian troopers used to patrol the space from the Burtse OP that went on until bottleneck ‘Y’ junction. “And as the bottleneck Y is occupied by Chinese, now we are not able to arrive at our patrol stage variety 14 and there is no entry to that today,” Sibal claimed.

“I want to question the Primary Minister, how did this materialize?”

“China is now intruding and obstructing Indian patrolling at patrol point figures 10, 11, 11A, 12, 13,” Sibal claimed demonstrating the map.

He extra that the Chinese forces are now 7 km from Ladakhi city Burtse on the Daulat Beg Oldi (DBO) road. The Congress leader mentioned that the Y junction is incidentally just 25 km absent from the Indian airstrip in Daulat Beg Oldi (DBO), consequently placing it inside of artillery array.

Stating that the Daulat Beg Oldi airstrip was the lifeline for Indian forces in Siachen and Karakoram go, Sibal mentioned, “If the Chinese are so shut then it is harmful for India as in situation of artillery firing our aircrafts are not able to land at the DBO air strip.”

Sibal highlighted that the DBO airstrip was designed operational throughout the UPA govt in 2013. A overall of 230 plane landed there because of to which Indian troopers had been in a position to get supplies in Siachen and make the establishment at the LAC much better.

Attacking Modi, Sibal claimed, “For the duration of the all-celebration meeting, the Key Minister reported that no a person intruded in our country and no Chinese intrusion has transpired. But yesterday Indian Ambassador to China in an job interview stated that India hopes China will realise its obligation in de-escalation and disengagement by transferring again to its aspect of the LAC.”

“What does this necessarily mean. It means that they are nevertheless sitting down there and the invasion is nevertheless there,” Sibal explained.

He mentioned that there is inconsistency in the assertion of the Prime Minister and the statements by External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and two other statements issued by the Exterior Affairs Ministry in the final one month.

Sibal reported the Chinese have established up tents and constructions at patrol stage range 14 in Galwan Valley where 20 Indian Military personnel like a colonel ended up killed. He claimed that through the UPA rule there was no Chinese incursion from Finger points amount 2 to 8.

“And now on finger point 4 China is creating an airstrip. They want us go to finger stage 2,” he added.

Taking a potshot at the RSS, the Congress chief reported, “The RSS individuals have mentioned that we are all set to go to the border to safeguard our land. I want to inquire the RSS, when they are going to border and now it is time to demonstrate their bravery.”

To a concern on the interrogation of bash treasurer Ahmed Patel by the ED, Sibal claimed that the federal government is using diversionary tactics to mislead the men and women. They are boosting the situation of the Rajiv Gandhi Basis. These are all diversionary practices of the BJP. The Primary MInister must consider care of China 1st.
