New Delhi: The former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has asked the BJP mascot to rebuff China’s bid to use his words to appropriate Indian Territory warning him of historical betrayal of people’s faith, in a written statement on Monday.

Amid the raging controversy over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘No intrusion’ remark over the Ladakh face – off. Making a surprise intervention in the charged debate, Manmohan Singh said Modi should be mindful of the implications of his words and declarations on our nation’s security as also strategic and territorial interests.

China is brazenly and illegally seeking to claim parts of Indian Territory such as Galwan Valley and the Pangong Tso Lake by committing multiple incursions since April 2020 till date. We cannot and will not be cowed down by threats and intimidations or permit a compromise with our territorial integrity.

The Prime Minister cannot allow them to use his words as an indication of their position and must ensure that allow organs of the Government work together to tackle the crisis and prevent it from escalating further, he said.
