PATNA: JD(U) president and Bihar CM Nitish Kumar on Friday said if China is trying to humiliate India, there is no need to tolerate it. He said China was dreaming about taking control over certain parts of Indian territory as it would be impossible for them.
He also said JD(U) would support any decision by PM Narendra Modi on the issues related to recent violent face-off between Indian and Chinese troops at Galwan valley in Ladakh region.
Nitish was presenting his party’s viewpoint at an all-party meet convened by the PM to discuss the situation along the India-China border following the recent face-off at Galwan valley. Altogether 20 Indian soldiers lost their lives in the violent face-off.
“PM Modi has to take a decision. We all are with him,” Nitish said.
Accompanied by his party’s national general secretary (organization) RCP Singh and Munger MP Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan Singh, the JD(U) chief also said all political parties should remain united on such issues. “India shall prosper; we all are united for this purpose. We, all political parties, should remain united. It is the duty of all political parties to support the Centre by remaining united on such issues,” Nitish said.
The CM thanked the PM for inviting him to the all-party meet. He said such an atmosphere was prevailing in the country over the misdeeds of China that everyone in India wanted to take revenge from the dragons. He said India always tried to maintain a better relationship with China.
Nitish also pointed out that goods from China flooding Indian markets were causing environmental hazards in India. “Chinese dolls coming in Indian markets are plastic heavy. They aren’t even eco-friendly and harm the environment. Electronic waste associated with them is high. Chinese products don’t even last long,” he said and suggested not purchasing Chinese items from the market.
“We should encourage and promote Swadeshi products. It is also on the priority list of the PM,” Nitish said.
