New Delhi, May 27 (IANS): Amidst the rising tension in east Ladakh along the Sino-India border, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Wednesday said that no one can threaten Narendra Modi's India.
Prasad was addressing a press conference in Delhi on Wednesday.
On being asked about the face-off at the Line of Actual Control, he gave a one-liner reply: "No one can dare to stare at Modi's India."
Prasad refused to elaborate on the Sino-India face-off and centred his attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
Prasad's reply on the border tension came at a time when Chinese President Xi Jinping had on Tuesday ordered his military to scale up the battle preparedness, considering the worst-case scenarios and asked them to resolutely defend the country's sovereignty.
Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday demanded from the government a statement on the stand-off at the border in Ladakh and Sikkim and relations with Nepal.
Take nation into confidence on standoff: Congress
Amidst the rising tension along the India-China border in east Ladakh, the Congress on Wednesday expressed its concern on the faceoff and demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi should take nation into confidence.
Former Union Minister Anand Sharma, in a statement, said: "The situation in Ladakh following incursion by Chinese forces in Pangong Tso lake and Galwan Valley regions and the standoff between the armies of India and China is a matter of serious national concern."
"The differing accounts in national and international media of escalations and continuing stalemate has caused anxiety among the people of India. The Congress party urges the government of India to take the nation into confidence to address the concern of the people," he added.
