Congress questions PM on normalisation of ties with China despite its incursion on Indian territory
The party said that the Prime Minister Modi should take the people into confidence on this issue of national importance.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday denied that there was anything political about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with DMK President M. Karunanidhi, saying it was just a “courtesy visit”.
“In politics, there are certain social courtesies which are necessary irrespective of political alliances and relationship and the Prime Minister was acting only according to them,” Finance Minister Arun Jaitley told reporters.
