CPI brings up US ploy in India-China standoff, CPI(M) wants India to abide by ‘Panchsheel’

The All Party Meeting convened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday saw leaders of different parties expressing their views and questions over the Galwan Valley skirmish. Most leaders from different parties expressed confidence in the steps taken by the government and extended their support.

However, CPI leader D. Raja had said that India should not fall for US ploy to take us on their side.

He said “We need to resist US efforts to drag us into their alliance”.

CPI(M) leader while extending support to the government’s approach also spoke of ‘Panchsheel’ policy, the five principles of coexistence formally enunciated between India and China in 1954.

Both the CPI and CPI(M) did not condemn or register their protest or questioned China’s action on the Galwan Valley.

During the All Party Meeting Prime Minister Modi mentioned that the Indian Army who were martyred in action had taught a lesson to those who had cast an eye on our Motherland before laying down their lives.

Mr. Modi added that intensive patrolling due to improved infrastructure and supply chains has allowed better monitoring.
