New Delhi : A fresh political storm has erupted over China’s claims on Indian territory after the Congress accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of sending mixed signals to Beijing. Congress leader Supriya Shrinate on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on the BJP following a meeting between senior party leaders and a delegation of the Chinese Communist Party in New Delhi.
China has claimed the Shaksgam Valley of Jammu and Kashmir as its own territory. For the past several days, construction is going on there in the name of CPEC. After Ladakh, how has China managed to intrude all the way here now?” Shrinate wrote on X. She added, “How is China showing such audacity? And meanwhile, BJP leaders are holding meetings with China’s Communist Party.”
A meeting is taking place between BJP leaders and leaders of China’s Communist Party. China supported Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. Our brave soldiers were martyred in Galwan. China is sitting there after encroaching in Ladakh. It is settling villages in Arunachal Pradesh. And here, hugs are being exchanged,” she said. She also accused sections of the media of remaining silent. “Why is no one questioning the BJP about this meeting? What is this relationship called? Why did the BJP commit treason against the country?
The BJP, however, defended the engagement, describing it as part of inter-party dialogue. Vijay Chauthaiwale, in charge of the BJP’s Foreign Affairs Department, confirmed that a CCP delegation had visited the party headquarters in the national capital. The controversy has revived memories of an earlier political clash over India-China ties. In 2020, BJP national president JP Nadda had accused the Congress of compromising national interest by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the Chinese Communist Party in 2008.
