Can’t Let China Use PM’s Words as Vindication: Manmohan Slams Modi

Singh said that PM Modi needs to be mindful of his words so China doesn’t take them as a vindication of their stand.

Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday, 22 June asked the Modi government to ‘rise up to the occasion’ and honour the martyrs of the Galwan Valley clash.

Slamming the government for ‘comforting but false statements,’ Singh said that the Prime Minister needs to be mindful of his words so that China doesn’t misuse the government's statements, referring to PM Modi’s claim of China not having crossed the LAC.

Referring to the martyrs, Singh said that the country is at a historic crossroads and the sacrifices of the jawans cannot be allowed to go in vain.

“At this moment, we stand at historic cross-roads. Our Government’s decisions and actions will have serious bearings on how the future generations perceive us,” Singh added.
