Manmohan Singh warns PM Modi over the implications of his Ladakh stand-off speech.

Ex-Prime Minister says PM must be mindful of the implications of his words and China shouldn’t be allowed to take advantage of them for vindication.

On Monday, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh spoke on the Ladakh stand-off for the first time and warned Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the same. He has urged PM Modi to be mindful of the implications his words may have and China should not be allowed to take advantage of those words to vindicate their position on the subject.

The Ex-PM reminded the government that diplomacy or decisive leadership cannot be substituted by disinformation. Mr Singh also said that comforting pliant lies can at present hide the truth but cannot suppress it forever; eventually, it will come out. He said,” We call upon the Prime Minister and the government to rise to the occasion, to ensure justice for Col. B. Santosh Babu and our jawans who have made the ultimate sacrifice and resolutely defended our territorial integrity. To do any less would be a historic betrayal of the people’s faith.”

Ex-PM Manmohan Singh says PM Modi’s words have serious implications: 

On 15th June, 20 Indian Army personnel were martyred in a brutal attack by the Chinese military in Ladakh’s Galwan Valley. Manmohan Singh believes the government’s decisions and actions will have huge implications in the history of the world and on the future generations as well. The former PM said,” The Prime Minister must always be mindful of the implications of his words and declarations on our Nation’s security as also strategic and territorial interests. The PM cannot allow them to use his words as a vindication of their position and must ensure that all organs of the government work together to tackle this crisis and prevent it from escalating further.”

Manmohan Singh also called for being united in our response to China’s brazen threat.
