'BJP speaking China's language': Sanjay Singh targets Centre over Galwan Valley face-off

In a scathing attack on the Modi Government over the situation at Galwan Valley, Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh said on Sunday that BJP is speaking in the same language as China. Sanjay Singh raised questions over the martyrdom of 20 Army personnel in Ladakh during a violent face-off with China. He asked if both sides admit that Chinese troops did not enter the Indian territory how did the soldiers die.

"I don't understand why are BJP and China speaking the same language? BJP has said that China did not intrude into our territory and China is also saying that it did not step on Indian soil. Now the question is, if they did not enter our territory then how did our jawans die?," Sanjay Singh stated.

He further said it is already clear that Galwan valley is a part of India as it is named after Ghulam Rasool Galwan and his descendants confirm that the valley belongs to our country.
