"It was not a weak leadership": JDU leader KC Tyagi on Panchsheel agreement

New Delhi [India]: Reacting to Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar’s remarks, terming India’s weak leadership during the 1962 war with China, Janata Dal-United leader, KC Tyagi on Wednesday said that It was not a weak leadership but China broke the agreement.

KC Tyagi said, “It was not a weak leadership. India stood for the Panchseel principle which was violated by the Chinese.”

Referring to the India-China War of 1962, Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Wednesday targeted the Congress party over the then political leadership of former Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Defence Minister Krishna Menon.

“October 20 to November 21, 1962, will forever be etched as a dark and humiliating chapter in the history of independent India. That was the time when thousands of Indians and numerous members of our armed forces paid with their lives for the delusional ‘Hindi-Chini bhai bhai’ policy followed by the then-political leadership of Pt Jawaharlal Nehru and his Leftist Defence Minister, Krishna Menon,” Rajeev Chandrasekhar posted on X.

Rajeev Chandrasekhar further alleged that it was the weak leadership that caused unforgivable damage to the morale of our armed forces.

Further, he spoke on PM Modi’s remark where he called upon people to finish off forces trying to divide the country with casteism and regionalism.

“The caste system has been in the Indian understanding for a long time. For social equality, all ethnic groups should be given equal opportunities. Only then will the caste system will end,” he added.

On being asked if JD (U) fielding five MPs in the upcoming Madhya Pradesh elections will have any impact on the INDIA alliance, KC Tyagi said that fielding symbolic candidates in the states makes no difference to the unity.

“India alliance has been mainly formed for the Lok Sabha elections. Where there is a strong PM Modi government. Fielding symbolic candidates in the states makes no difference to the unity,” KC Tyagi added.
