New Delhi: After the Defence Minister of India, Rajnath Singh made a statement in Parliament on the current situation at Line of Actual Control amid the border tensions between India and China, Congress party made a scathing attack on Centre alleging that the party in power is making "deliberate" attempts to silence the opposition from asking questions over India-China border tension.
Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday also questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's absence from the parliament.
Taking a jibe at PM, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi tweeted in Hindi, "It is clear from the statement of Defence Minister that PM Modi misled the country on Chinese encroachment. Our country has always been, and will remain with Indian Army. But PM Modi, when will you rebel against China? When will we you take back our land from China?"

Congress MPs also walked out of Lok Sabha and staged a protest after a discussion on India-China border issue was denied in the parliament. The opposition party alleged that Government of India is "running away" from answering tough questions.
While addressing the media, Congress Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Choudhary said, "During 1962 war, Atal Bihari Vajpayee demanded a discussion over the matter and then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had agreed to hold a two day discussion in Parliament."

Gaurav Gogoi, Deputy leader of Congress in Lok Sabha, told reporters, "Today we have walked out to mark a protest as our leader Adhir Ranjan Choudhary wanted to send a message of solidarity to the Indian Army but we were denied discussion. Unfortunately the government feels that they are the ones who support the Indian army."
"No doubt there was an intention behind silencing the Congress Party because the Prime Minister does not want to answer tough questions. We should also remember that PM's statement only undermines strengthened Chinese position. PM's absence is a signal," Gaurav Gogoi further added.
