‘Weak-kneed’, Congress on BJP’s response on border clash

Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala called the BJP’s response to the recent Tawang face-off between the Indian Army and Chinese Army ‘weak-kneed’. It also drew a parallel between BJP and the Chinese Communist Paty, using a 2016 tweet by Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. 

Drawing reference from a 2016 tweet by CM Chouhan, Surjewala drew parallels between the BJP and the Communist Party of China. Chouhan tweeted in 2016 that, “Communist Party of China and BJP have done numerous works in social field. This way, there is tremendous similarities between the two parties.” 

The Congress leader shared a screenshot of Chouhan’s 2016 remark and referred to it when he tweeted, “A reminder of similarities between BJP and the Communist Party of China! Is this the reason for the weak-kneed response to Chinese incursions.”
