The party said that the Prime Minister Modi should take the people into confidence on this issue of national importance.
''Conversations and dialogues have been going on (with China) and they have been moving forward in the right direction," Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said at a media briefing.
The India-China accord to start disengagement of troops in eastern Ladakh after marathon talks over the last four years was a significant step by the two countries to stabilise and rebuild relations which touched a new low in the wake of the military stand-off that began in April/May 2020.
Opposition leaders staged a walkout in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday after being disallowed from raising questions on External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar's China statement.
''In the coming days, we will be discussing both de-escalation as well as effective management of our activities in the border areas,'' he said, making a statement in the Lok Sabha on India-China ties and the border understanding reached in October.
The US said it welcomes increased Indian involvement in Southeast Asia including its military presence in the South China Sea.
Both sides, however, agreed to disengage troops to resolve stand-off at LAC
Policies are drafted by career bureaucrats, who for decades have handled their responsibilities and are aware of the nation’s threats and economic requirements. The top leader’s perceptions may carry influence but will never compromise defending core national interests and maintaining ties with close allies. A leader’s strong beliefs could result in comments on a few uncomfortable internal matters of allies but would never cross a nation’s red lines.
The main agenda of the talks is to address the situation at Depsang plains that has seen a big mobilisation by both sides. At today's meeting too, the Indian side insisted that Chinese troops must complete the disengagement process and restore the status quo ante which existed in eastern Ladakh in early May.
An order to this effect was issued on Friday, the source added.
