On Friday, the Ministry of External Affairs slammed Lok Sabha Leader Rahul Gandhi’s “losing memory” comment about Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling it “unfortunate.”
The MEA argued that it did not represent the government’s viewpoint. The news occurred after Rahul Gandhi mocked PM Modi, claiming that he is “losing his memory” like US President Joe Biden.
MEA spokeswoman Randhir Jaiswal stated that the “multifaceted partnership” between India and the United States has been created over years of perseverance, unity, mutual respect, and dedication by both sides, and that these sentiments are “not in keeping with warm and friendly ties.”
During the weekly press briefing, Jaiswal said, “India shares a multifaceted partnership with the United States, and this partnership has been built over years of perseverance, togetherness, mutual respect, and commitment by both sides. We see such reports as remarks as unfortunate, and they’re not in keeping with warm and friendly ties with the United States and do not represent the position of the government of India.”
Further, being asked about the latest development regarding patrolling on the Line of Actual Control (LAC), Jaiswal said it is “under progress.” “We have said earlier, we have been working on it. It is under progress,” he said.
Earlier, the armed forces of India and China agreed to carry out one coordinated patrol every week in the Demchok and Depsang areas in the eastern Ladakh sector and have already completed one round of patrolling there.
The two sides had started coordinated patrols in the first week of the month after completing disengagement in both Demchok and Depsang in the last week of October.
India and China have agreed to carry out one patrol each by both sides every week in Depsang and Demchok. In each area, one patrol would be carried out by Indian troops and one patrol would be done by the Chinese troops, defence sources told ANI.
