Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said the Chinese are still inside Indian territory and that China isn\u2019t ready to return to the pre-May 2020 position. (ANI)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Congress used Defence Minister\u00a0Rajnath Singh\u2019s recent statement\u00a0that he cannot guarantee to what extent the border standoff with China in Ladakh would be resolved, to launch another attack on the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat does this statement of the country\u2019s Defense Minister mean that there is no guarantee of a solution through talks with China? Has the Modi government accepted the Chinese occupation that they cannot solve it?\u201d Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala asked at a briefing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rajnath Singh had made the comment in Lukung near Pangong Tso lake on Friday while addressing troops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surjewala also said the Chinese are still inside Indian territory and that China isn\u2019t ready to return to the pre-May 2020 position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cChina isn\u2019t permitting Indian Armed Forces to patrol from patrolling point 10 to patrolling point 13. Third, China has occupied Indian territory up to 8 km between finger 4 to finger 8 and has 3,000 soldiers in our territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChina isn\u2019t ready to restore the status quo ante and to return to the pre-May 2020 position. China has converted Ngari Gunsa civil airstrip on our border into military airstrip causing threat to our territorial integrity and placed over 20,000 Chinese soldiers on our border,\u201d Surjewala said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

India and China have been in talks to reach consensus on easing tensions between the two armies in the Finger Area near Pangong Tso and Depsang plains, as well as pulling back weapons and equipment from \u201cfriction points\u201d in other sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday,\u00a0former Congress president Rahul Gandhi\u00a0had attacked the government over its handling of the standoff in Ladakh saying India will pay a huge price because of the government\u2019s \u201ccowardly actions\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
