Galwan valley face-off: Mayawati supports Centre, has message for Congress too

After the martyrdom of 20 soldiers in fierce clashes at the Galwan valley face-off, Opposition has been relentless in slamming the Centre over its handling of the issue.

However, BSP chief Mayawati has come out in support of the Centre on Ladakh stand-off by making an appeal to the Govt as well as Opposition to ‘work together with full maturity and solidarity’.

At the all-party meet too, Mayawati was critical of Chinese aggression and called for putting up a united front against any incursion tactics of the dragon.

The BSP chief, who usually is critical of the government, said the entire country has been saddened, worried and angry after the death of the 20 Indian Army soldiers, including a colonel, in the border clash with the Chinese army in Ladakh.

Mayawati tweeted:

2. ऐसे कठिन व चुनौती भरे समय में भारत सरकार की अगली कार्रवाई के सम्बंध में लोगों व विशषज्ञों की राय अलग-अलग हो सकती है, लेकिन मूल रूप से यह सरकार पर छोड़ देना बेहतर है कि वह देशहित व सीमा की रक्षा हर हाल में करे, जो कि हर सरकार का दायित्व भी है। 2/2

“In such a difficult and challenging time, the opinion of the people and experts regarding the next action of the government may be different, but basically it is better to leave it to the government to protect the interest and the border in every situation, which is the responsibility of every government,” tweet reads

Last week, the BSP chief had said the people of India were confident that the Centre would “take the right decisions to keep the honour, pride and glory of the country intact and would never allow anyone to grab even an inch of land”.
