The Congress party has called for a comprehensive discussion in Parliament regarding China's reported support to Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. The demand comes after China, for the first time, officially acknowledged providing on-site technical assistance to Pakistan during the four-day conflict with India last year.
Congress Raises National Security Concerns
Senior Congress leaders have expressed serious concerns over China's involvement, stating that such external support undermines India's security interests. They have urged the government to provide a detailed statement in Parliament on the matter.
China's Acknowledgment
China's confirmation of technical support marks a significant shift in its stance. Previously, Beijing had remained ambiguous about its role in the conflict. The development has sparked a political firestorm, with opposition parties demanding transparency.
The Congress party has requested a debate under parliamentary rules that allow for discussions on matters of urgent public importance. They argue that the issue directly impacts national sovereignty and requires a bipartisan response.
Government's Position
The ruling party has not yet officially responded to the demand. However, sources indicate that the government may address the issue during the ongoing session. The Ministry of External Affairs is likely to brief Parliament on the diplomatic implications.
Political analysts believe that this issue could further strain India-China relations, which have already been tense following the border clashes in 2020.
