The Congress leader also flagged China’s construction of the 60 GW Medog Dam on the Yarlung Tsangpo river, warning of “serious implications” for India. He further criticized the October 2024 disengagement deal with China, which, according to him, left Indian patrols needing Chinese concurrence at points in Depsang, Demchok, and Chumar, and created “buffer zones” within Indian claim lines in Galwan, Hot Springs, and Pangong Tso.

“This is far from the April 2020 status quo. Modi’s clean chit to China mocked the martyrdom of the 20 Indian soldiers killed in Galwan,” Ramesh alleged, referring to Modi’s June 2020 statement denying incursions.

Wang Yi’s two-day India visit

Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi will meet Prime Minister Modi on Tuesday during his two-day visit, which also includes talks with external affairs minister S. Jaishankar and national security advisor Ajit Doval. Discussions are expected on the border situation, trade, and resumption of flights, officials said.

The visit is being viewed as part of efforts to stabilize India-China ties, which have been strained since the Galwan Valley clashes of June 2020. According to sources, both sides may explore new confidence-building measures to ensure peace and stability along the contested border.
