China Row: Rajnath likely to address LS today

 

New Delhi, Sep13:Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is likely to address parliament on the India-China border row tomorrow, sources have told NDTV. The government has been under consistent attack from the Congress, spearheaded by Rahul Gandhi, over the stand-off with China at the Line of Actual Control — the de facto border between the two countries.

The matter was raised yesterday at the parliament’s Business Advisory Committee meeting, meant to discuss and slot agenda for business for the coming session.

Asked whether a statement will be made on the India-China stand-off, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi had said keeping in mind the “sensitivities of the situation, and the strategic points”, the government will take a decision. The leaders, he had said, would be briefed at a meeting on Tuesday.
