Mallikarjun Kharge Targets Central Govt: The memorial of 1962 war hero Major Shaitan Singh has been demolished due to the buffer zone created on the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has reacted regarding this. Taking aim at the government, he said that by demolishing the memorial of Shaitan Singh, BJP has once again given proof to the country of being a fake patriot.
He said that the news of the demolition of the memorial in Chushul, Ladakh of Major Shaitan Singh, the brave son of Mother India, awarded with Param Vir Chakra and the great hero of the 1962 Rezang-La war, is extremely painful.
He launched a scathing attack on the Prime Minister in a poetic style and said, “You turned a blind eye to China, insulted every drop of sacrifice of the brave men!” Kharge said that according to reports, has this been done because after talks with China, the buffer zone has now come within Indian territory?
‘Failure of Modi government’
He asked why even after 20 meetings between PM Modi and Xi Jinping since 2014, the Modi government has failed to help India maintain the status quo before May 2020 on Depsang Plain, Pangong Tso, Demchowk and Gogra-Hotspring area?
‘The supreme sacrifice of the soldiers is the pride of the country’
He asked whether it is not true that after the sacrifice of lives of 20 army personnel in Galwan, Prime Minister Modi had given a clean chit to China? The Congress leader said that the supreme sacrifice of 113 brave soldiers of C Company of 13 Kumaon under the leadership of Major Shaitan Singh to protect Rezang La is the pride of the country.
I turned my “red eye” on China,
Every drop of sacrifice of the brave men has been insulted!The news of the demolition in 2021 of the memorial in Chushul, Ladakh of Major Shaitan Singh, the brave son of Mother India and recipient of the Param Vir Chakra, the great hero of the 1962 Rezang-La war, is extremely painful.

‘Kneeling before China’
The Congress President said that by demolishing his (Madar Shaitan Singh) memorial, BJP has once again given proof to the country of being a fake patriot. It is sad that the government has surrendered to Chinese plans.
It is noteworthy that recently Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council member Khonchok Stanjin had said that the memorial of Major Shaitan Singh has now come in the buffer zone. During this time, he also shared a picture on social media platform X, which shows that the monument was under Indian control till October 2020. At that time it was renovated by the 8th Battalion of the Kumaon Regiment.
