Congress chief Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday attacked the government over a lack of clarity on the killing of 20 Indian soldiers in a clash with Chinese troops in Ladakh’s Galwan Valley on June 15 last year.
An undisclosed number of Chinese troops were also killed in the first such clash between Indian and Chinese troops along the Line of Actual Control in over five decades.
The UPA chief in a statement said the Congress patiently has waited for the government to come clean and inform the nation about the circumstances in which the unprecedented incident happened and reassure the people that the sacrifice of our brave jawans was not in vain.
She reiterated the Congress concern that no clarity is yet available and the Prime Minister’s last word on the subject a year ago was that no transgression had occurred.
