'Why is Modi government opposing me in court on RTI regarding Chinese encroachment?' asks Subramanian Swamy

Talking on the Chinese encroachment on Indian territory issue, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy said, "Why is Modi’s govt opposing me in Court to prevent my getting the truth of China’s recent occupation of 4064 sq kms in undisputed Ladakh? The people have a right to know (sic)."

In a post on X, he further said, "Congress is not raising the matter because Gandhis have a deal with China. Is Modi in the deal?"

In November 2022, Swamy had filed an RTI asking the Home Ministry to state the extent to which "sovereign land has been acquired by People's Republic of China, across 1996 mutually agreed upon Line of Actual Control".

According to the petition, his RTI also sought to know how much of Indian "sovereign land has been lost due to further creation of buffer zones or 'no man's land' since 2014"; the number of times there has been "Chinese military incursions over Indian territory across the mutually agreed upon Line of Actual Control since 1996' and 'under what agreement or otherwise India had ceded the Aksai Chin region to China".

The BJP leader had on October 9, 2023, approached the Delhi High Court over the alleged failure of authorities over his application seeking details of 'Chinese encroachment on Indian territory' from the central government.

The senior BJP has been attacking PM Narendra Modi time and again. On July 16, he had attacked Modi and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh over the terrorist attack in Doda, J&K which claimed the lives of five army personnel dead.

Taking to X, he said, "Our Defence Minister and a decent man, Rajnath says that he is sad that so many army jawans have been killed. Then, what will he do? Has Modi told him “koi bahar se aaya nahin aur koi yanha marra nahin”. Attahe (therefore)? Vishram (sic)?"

On the same day he had also said that PM Modi will be remembered for the buildings with his name on their foundation stones.

He wrote, "Modi will be remembered for the buildings with his foundation stone name inscription. Much like Mohammed Bin Thuglak and the British Imperialists in India- which are used but they forgotten. But he will be remembered for his surrender in Ladakh to China though (sic)."

On July 15, Swamy said that the BJP will sink like the Titanic if PM Modi is left in command.

In a post on X, he wrote, "If we in BJP want to see our party sink like the Titantic Ship then Modi is the best to command. By-Election results show BJP is cracking up to sink forever (sic)."
