NEW DELHI: NCP president Sharad Pawar on Friday said there should be a presentation by the government on what is happening on the India-China border, particularly in Ladakh, where the armies of the two countries are involved in a face-off.
Pawar, who is in the national capital to attend a meeting of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Defence, said there are other defence-related issues on the table for discussion, but he will make a request that a presentation is made on it.
“Today, we are all worried about what is happening on the India-China border, particularly in the Ladakh region.
“There are different defence-related issues that will be discussed in the meeting. I am going to make a request that a presentation on the ground situation should be made,” Pawar, who served as the defence minister in the PV Narasimha Rao government, said.
Replying to a media query on whether the government is hiding anything regarding this matter, the former Maharashtra chief minister said he is not going to make any allegations as he does not have any such information.
The ongoing tension on the India-China border is a very sensitive issue involving national security and nobody should indulge in any kind of blame game, he said.
