Congress chief Kharge urges Modi to clarify India’s China stance

New Delhi, Oct 23 (ANI) – In a pointed political salvo, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “come clean” about the government’s handling of the border dispute and broader foreign‑policy approach toward China. Speaking at a party gathering, Kharge said the ruling government has been evasive on key decisions that affect national security and asked the prime minister to provide clear answers to the nation.

Kharge’s remarks come amid ongoing tensions along the disputed frontier, where skirmishes and diplomatic deadlocks have strained Indo‑Chinese relations. The opposition leader framed the issue as a test of the government’s transparency and accountability, suggesting that ambiguous policies could undermine public confidence.

For the diaspora, the debate resonates with concerns over trade, travel, and regional stability that directly impact families and businesses across the globe. As the election cycle approaches, the clash over the China policy may shape voter sentiment and influence how the South Asian community abroad perceives India’s strategic direction.

The Congress chief concluded by urging the prime minister to address the nation openly, warning that any continued opacity could erode India’s standing on the world stage.
