Port Blair, July 01:
"The Modi government continues to sidestep the brazen Chinese
transgressions and occupation of territory by the Chinese forces in Galwan
Valley, PangongTso Lake area, Hot Springs and Depsang Plainsupto Y-Junction.
Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi misleads the nation and serves the agenda of
the Chinese by claiming that China has never intruded into the Indian
territory, nor is it in occupation of territory", Indian National Congress
alleges.
Addressing press
conference at Gandhi Bhawan here today, Mr. K Ganeshan, Chief Spokesperson, PCC
in presence of Mr. Tamil Selvam, Spokesperson, PCC said that, 'Chinese
hostilities, in recent years are well known - be it the occupation of the
Depsang Plains upto Y-Junction in the year 2013 (from where they were pushed
back by the Congress / UPA after a face off), be it the Chinese occupation of
our territory at Point 30R Post in Chumar, JUidakh in 2014 (when Modi was
playing Jhumla diplomacy with the Chinese President in Ahmedabad), be it the
Chinese occupation of the Doklam plateau in 2017. But every time, the Modi
government is questioned on the Chinese transgressions of our territory, in
four different places, i.e. Galwan Valley, PangongTso Lake Area, Hot Springs
and Depsang Plains, a deceptive Modi government and a paranoid BJP resorts to
diversionary tactics and disinformation. Congress party will keep asking these
questions in national interest. As we all know the Prime Minister has a special
soft spot for China. Even as Chief Minister of Gujarat, we saw his close
association in his four Chinese visits. He is the only Prime Minister who has
visited China 5 times', he stated.
'What is most worrying
and alarming for national security is the fact of donations received by Prime
Minister Modi from the Chinese companies in his (seemingly personal) PM CARES
Fund. No one knows the constitution or the operational framework of the PM
CARES Fund. No one knows how it is controlled or money given to it utilized.
The fund is not even subjected to audit by any public authority including CAG.
PMO has gone to the extent of saying this fund is not a public authority. PM
CARES Fund is not even subjected to RTI. All in all, the Fund appears to be
solely run by the Prime Minister in an opaque and secret fashion with zero
transparency and zero accountability', he added.
'Reports suggest that
as on May 20, 2020 PM Modi has received Rs. 9678 crores in the controversial
fund. The shocking part is that though Chinese forces have transgressed into
our territory, Prime Minister has received money in the fund from Chinese
companies', Mr. K Ganeshan said.
He also asked the BJP
to reply to a serious of questions which includes why has PM Modi received
Chinese money into the Fund, despite the overt Chinese hostilities? Has PM
received Rs 7 Crore from the controversial company HUAWEI? Does HUAWEI have a
direct connection with People's Liberation Army, China? Has the Chinese company
owning TikTok facilitated a donation of Rs 30 crores to the controversial PM
CARES Fund? Has Ay tin, which has a 38% Chinese ownership given 100 crores in
the controversial Fund? Has XIAOMI, the Chinese company, committed Rs 15 Crore
to the controversial Fund? Has the Chinese company OP PC, donated Rs 1 crore to
this controversial Fund? Has the Prime Minister Modi diverted the donations
received in PMNRF to the controversial PM CARES Fund and how many hundred
crores is the amount, diverted?
He further stated that
If Prime Minister of India will compromise his position by accepting donations
of hundreds of crores from Chinese companies in the controversial and opaque
Fund, how will he defend the country against the Chinese aggression? PCC Chief
Spokesperson asks.
