Cong seeks PM’s statement on border stand-off with China

NEW DELHI: Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal today asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make a statement on why India was “eyeball to eyeball” with China after swinging with President Xi Jinping in Sabarmati.

He said the situation on the border with China “was very serious” and the Government must spell out its policy on how to defuse the tension.

“These are very sensitive and very serious issues. Who is in power – the present BJP is in power. It is for that Government to tell us what they wish to do; we only know that from the ‘jhoola’ at Sabarmati to the present situation there is a big gap – from swinging to being eyeball to eyeball,” he said.
