China Sitting At Our Border, Efforts Being Made To Suppress It: Manmohan Singh

Mumbai: Former PM and Congress leader Manmohan Singh said China is sitting at our border and efforts are being made to suppress it.

Manmohan Singh said, “They (BJP-led government) have no understanding of economic policy.”

Criticizing the central government for the current economic situation in the country, he said, “The rich people are getting richer while the poor people are getting poorer.”

The former prime minister criticized the government and its “failure” on foreign policy, saying “China is sitting on our border and trying to suppress it.”

“Relationships do not improve by giving hugs to politicians, or by going to eat biryani without invitation,” he added.

Manmohan Singh accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of insulting the people and the Punjab Chief Minister cited Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi’s claim that his helicopter was not allowed to go to Hoshiarpur due to Prime Minister Modi’s visit to the state.

“BJP tried to insult the people of Punjab CM on the issue of security of PM Modi,” he said.

In Punjab, polling is going to be held for 3 days (on 20 February) in a single phase for the election of 117 assembly members. Counting of votes in Punjab will take place on March 10.
