TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today alleged that the government is betraying the country by ignoring the infrastructure build-up by China at the Line of Actual Control. His remarks came after a top US general termed as “alarming” the Chinese infra development near Ladakh.
“China is building the foundations for hostile action in the future. By ignoring it, the Government is betraying India,” Rahul Gandhi said on Twitter. India on Thursday said it expects China to work with it to reach a mutually-acceptable solution for the remaining issues in eastern Ladakh in the next round of military talks as both sides agreed that prolongation of the existing situation is not in the interest of either side or overall relations.
External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi also said that India carefully monitors developments along its border areas including the construction of infrastructure by China in eastern Ladakh as well as in depth areas. His comments came when asked about comments by US Army’s Pacific Commanding General Charles A.Flynn that the Chinese activities across Ladakh are “eye-opening”.
