Raut Urges Modi to Press Xi on Ladakh, Galwan
Sanjay Raut asked Prime Minister Modi to speak firmly to China about land disputes in Ladakh and Galwan.
Chinese President Xi Jinping was in New Delhi for the BRICS summit.
Raut said China should withdraw from areas that India says were entered by Chinese forces.
He said this should happen before relations between India and China become normal again.
Raut also questioned why 25 rounds of talks had not produced more progress.
He praised the Iranian president’s confidence during the visit to Delhi.
Raut said Iran had shown strength and self-respect when facing Israel and the United States.
He described China and the United States as traders.
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut urged Prime Minister Modi to take a firm position on Ladakh during talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Raut called for Chinese forces to withdraw from areas in Ladakh and Galwan that India says they intruded upon.
He said withdrawal should come before India and China move toward normalising bilateral ties.
Raut questioned what progress 25 rounds of diplomatic and military discussions had produced over two years.
