The Congress on Sunday (September 13, 2026) posed four questions to Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his approach to India-China relations, and accused him of “calibrated capitulation” to that country.
In a statement posted on X , Mr. General Rahul Singh, the Deputy Chief of Army Staff, had publicly spoken of the military establishment’s assessment of the deep and pivotal role of China in assisting Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. Anil Chauhan took a completely different position in a lecture at the VIF with which the National Security Adviser has himself been closely associated. “The dependence on China for critical raw materials, manufacturing components and intermediates has reached dangerous levels. ‘Make in India’ and ‘Import from China’ have become two sides of the same coin.
