Hours after China released the 2023 edition of its “standard map”, incorporating Arunachal Pradesh, the Aksai Chin region, Taiwan, and the disputed South China Sea in it, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut asked if Prime Minister Narendra Modi had the guts to conduct a surgical strike on China.
“Do you have the guts to conduct a surgical strike on China?” he asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, adding, “PM Modi should look into the matter. He recently attended the Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) summit and even hugged Chinese officials.”
“Such an incident breaks our hearts. Rahul Gandhi was right when he said China had entered our country,” he said.
“There is a fear in people's minds that the BJP could do the drama of a surgical strike to win the elections. Former Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satyapal Malik claimed that the Pulwama strike did not happen, but was orchestrated,” he added.
China on Monday released the 2023 edition of its “standard map”, adding Arunachal Pradesh, the Aksai Chin region, Taiwan, and the disputed South China Sea in it. “The 2023 edition of China's standard map was officially released on Monday and launched on the website of the standard map service hosted by the Ministry of Natural Resources,” state-run Global Times said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
“This map is compiled based on the drawing method of the national boundaries of China and various countries in the world,” the post said.
Raut also said that the Lok Sabha polls were approaching and riots were possible ahead of the elections.
“There is fear amongst common people that there is a possibility that during the inauguration of the Ram temple, stones may be pelted on the train of Ram devotees, bombs may be hurled and riots may be instigated across the country. All this is to win the Lok Sabha elections,” he said.
“This apprehension is also in the minds of major political parties. It is our job to keep everything in front of the people. If this is not the case, then it is the government's responsibility to stop such incidents. The riots that took place or were incited in Haryana is an example of this,” he added.
