A study in contrast - Indian response to Chinese military intrusions under the Congress and the BJP

For those of you who noticed, a couple of days back, Indian soldiers demolished a hut constructed by the Chinese army. The hut was constructed 1.5 kms inside Indian territory and was equipped with a camera, apparently to track movement of Indian troops and also bolster China's claim on sovereign Indian territory.

The demolition led to a face off between Indian and Chinese troops, subsequently defused by a meeting between commanders from the 2 countries.


Compare this with the timid reaction of the Congress governments to previous Chinese intrusions, come of which were far more bold and provocative. Our army had to keep quiet in the face of lack of support from the Congress governments, which lacked the courage and self pride to respond to these blatant and brazen attacks on our national territory and integrity.
I distinctly recall a more than usual audacious mass intrusion at the beginning of last year, which was swept under the carpet by the Congress government, dismissing it as a 'minor issue'.


And see the difference now that we have in place a truly nationalistic and patriotic government, headed by people who truly love their motherland and have the self respect and courage to defend our country.
Expecting this from the congress would anyway be unrealistic because their whole political approach is based on minority appeasement and caste-oriented policies, so economic and social development or national pride and security are non priority issues for them.


If we don't appreciate and give credit to the BJP where they truly deserve it, we might very well have a situation in the next elections where the majority votes will be split and the Congress might once again cobble together a coalition government, with support from other selfish, corrupt and pseudo secular parties - which will once again take us back to the days when India was a pushover and subject to numerous aggressive moves.


It is for us ordinary Indians to see these small differences that the BJP government has made in a multitude of ways and appreciate the work they have done so far and the motivation of love for motherland which is driving their efforts.


So let us continue to strengthen the BJP and stand solidly behind them, as they continue their untiring efforts to take the nation to the top.
