"The reports coming from Arunachal Pradesh are worrying and alarming. A major clash took place between Indian and Chinese soldiers and the government kept the country in the dark for days. Clashes happened on Dec 9 but we came to know about it on Dec 12 despite a functioning Parliament. Why was the Parliament not informed, when it is in session?" Owaisi tweeted.

In another tweet, Owaisi said: "The army is capable of giving a fitting reply to the Chinese at any time. It is the weak political leadership under Modi which has led to this humiliation against China. This needs an urgent discussion in Parliament. I will be giving an Adjournment motion tomorrow on this issue."
