Kiren Rijiju blames Congress for lack of infrastructural development in border areas
As days continue to pass after the Indo-China clash in Tawang, the border issue with China has become a constant topic of discussion by the Opposition leaders. Reacting to the Oppositions demand of in house discussion, Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju said that Congress is raising a sensitive issue which isn’t good. “In 2005, when we were in opposition and raised the China border issue, the then leader of the House Pranab Mukherjee and then PM Manmohan Singh said that instead of discussing it in Parliament, we should deal with it internally as the issue is sensitive. After that, we didn't raise the issue. Congress is forgetting that and is raising a sensitive issue which isn't good. It was Congress who didn't work on infrastructure at border areas,” said Kiren Rijiju.
