Congress asks Modi, Shah to respond on China-Arunachal patrol reports
The Congress party in India asked two very important leaders, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, a big question.
They asked whether China, a neighboring country, has stopped Indian soldiers from patrolling in a place called Arunachal Pradesh.
Patrolling is when soldiers move around an area to keep it safe.
Congress said there are worrying reports that China is trying to move into more areas of Arunachal Pradesh.
The leader of Congress, Mallikarjun Kharge, said India stands firmly behind its soldiers.
He also said all Indians are united against any Chinese aggression.
Kharge remembered a past clash called Galwan, where there was fighting.
He asked, 'After Galwan, now Arunachal Pradesh?'
Congress wants the government to respond to these reports.
The statement was made in New Delhi on Friday.
The Congress party demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah tell the nation whether China has stopped Indian troops from patrolling certain areas of Arunachal Pradesh.
