New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday asked the government why status quo ante was not insisted upon by New Delhi and why the territorial sovereignty of the Galwan valley does not find mention in the government’s statement.
“National interest is paramount. Government of India’s duty is to protect it,” he said on Twitter. “Then, why has status Quo Ante not been insisted on? Why is China allowed to justify the murder of 20 unarmed jawans in our territory? Why is there no mention of the territorial sovereignty of Galwan valley?,” he asked.
