New Delhi, March 9 BJP MP Nishikant Dubey said on Monday that he would raise the issue of alleged relations between the Congress and China in Parliament, claiming that India effectively recognized China as a neighbor after developments related to Tibet in the early 1950s and the subsequent Panchsheel Agreement.
Speaking to IANS, Dubey said, "I will discuss this in Parliament. Regarding the relationship between the Congress and China. Initially, they were not even our neighbor. In 1950, we gave them Tibet, and finally, in 1954-55, through the Panchsheel Agreement, we essentially recognized them as our neighbor. Around 38,000 square kilometers of land were lost in the Sino-Indian War in 1962."
Earlier, the BJP MP had also posted on X, criticizing the Congress leadership over India's past engagement with China.
In the post, Dubey wrote that China's friendship with the Nehru-Gandhi family "dates back a long time," alleging that after "giving away" Tibet in 1950, India lost around 38,000 square kilometers of land in 1962.
Dubey further alleged in the post that this did not even satisfy the Congress, and they went ahead and gave China a license to wreck the entire country.
Dubey cited a parliamentary reply from 1969, sharing an image of a document referring to a discussion in Parliament concerning alleged financial assistance from the Chinese Embassy to Naxalites at the time.
The document shared by Dubey appears to be a Parliamentary written reply from 1969 regarding allegations of financial assistance from the Chinese Embassy to Naxalites. In the reply, the then Minister of State in the Ministry of Home Affairs, Vidya Charan Shukla, informed Parliament that the Kerala government had reported information about Kunnikkal Narayanan of Calicut receiving money orders ranging from Rs 100 to Rs 500 from the Chinese Embassy in New Delhi on four occasions.
The reply also stated that no other state government had reported similar information about assistance being provided by the Chinese Embassy to individuals involved in violent or subversive activities. It further noted that no information was available with the Government about any financial assistance from the Chinese Embassy to extremists after February 1969, adding that strict vigilance was being maintained.
Dubey said he would raise the matter during the ongoing session of Parliament.
