Congress Targets Modi Over China Air Intrusion

NEW DELHI: The Congress on Saturday attacked the Narendra Modi government over reports that a Chinese military aircraft had allegedly entered Indian airspace over Sikkim, saying Chinese intrusions were now taking place in the air after violations along the land border.
"When will Modi show red eye to China," the Congress asked in a social media post.
The party demanded that the Centre lodge a strong protest with Beijing over the reported incident.
"Hopefully, Narendra Modi will not give China a clean chit this time," the party said.
According to the report cited by the Congress, a Chinese military aircraft allegedly entered Indian airspace over Sikkim on the morning of November 12 and remained in the area for 20 to 25 minutes despite warnings from the Indian Air Force.
There was no official government response to the reported incident.
