Modi Betrayed Bharat Mata by Saying ‘Koyi Aaya Nahin,’ Claims Swamy
Swamy’s remarks come amidst a backdrop of escalating tensions over Chinese incursions into Indian territory, amounting to a loss of 4065 square kilometers of land.
Subramanian Swamy, a prominent member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and former Cabinet Minister, took to his social media account to accuse Prime Minister Narendra Modi of betraying the nation’s interests regarding the Ladakh land dispute with China. Swamy’s remarks come amidst a backdrop of escalating tensions over Chinese incursions into Indian territory, amounting to a loss of 4065 square kilometers of land. In a surprising turn of events, the Central Information Commission (CIC) has now ordered a review of Swamy’s Right to Information (RTI) application filed in November 2022, seeking clarity on China’s incursions dating back to 1996.
Swamy’s journey for this began in November 2022 when he filed an RTI application to unveil any illegal incursions by China since 1996. Dissatisfied with the government’s response, Swamy pursued further action, filing an appeal before the CIC. The decision by Chief Information Commissioner Heeralal Samariya directs the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to revisit Swamy’s RTI application and provide detailed responses to his inquiries within a week.
Swamy’s RTI application encompassed several crucial questions aimed at shedding light on the extent of Chinese encroachments and their implications for India’s sovereignty. These questions included inquiries about the acquisition of sovereign Indian land by China, the creation of buffer zones along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), and the displacement of Indian citizens due to territorial disputes. Swamy’s relentless pursuit of information underscores the gravity of the situation and the necessity for transparency in matters of national security.
Swamy’s quest for transparency faced numerous hurdles, including delays in receiving responses within the stipulated timelines of the RTI Act. Despite the Ministry of External Affairs’ claims of providing information from official records, Swamy persisted in his pursuit for comprehensive answers. His efforts culminated in a legal battle, with Swamy approaching the Delhi High Court seeking intervention. The High Court’s issuance of a notice to the Union government and CIC on October 9th, 2023, further underscored the significance of Swamy’s quest for transparency.
Swamy’s endeavors represent a larger struggle for safeguarding India’s sovereignty and integrity in the face of external threats. His relentless pursuit of information serves as a reminder of the government’s responsibility to uphold transparency and accountability in matters of national security. As the legal battle continues, Swamy remains steadfast in his commitment to unveiling the truth behind Chinese incursions and ensuring that the nation’s interests are protected.
Subramanian Swamy’s accusations against Prime Minister Modi have triggered a broader inquiry into Chinese incursions and the government’s response to them. The CIC’s decision to revisit Swamy’s RTI application marks a significant step towards achieving transparency in matters of national security. As the legal battle progresses, Swamy’s unwavering determination underscores the importance of upholding India’s sovereignty and integrity in the face of external challenges.
