Statement by Shri Pawan Khera, Chairman, Media & Publicity (Communications Dept), AICC

Ever since June 2020, when the outgoing Prime Minister gave China a clean chit for its actions in Ladakh, the people of India have been asking why the BJP is so unwilling to stand up to China. Are the close links between the BJP and the Communist Party of China behind this?

There have been at least 12 meetings since 2008 where Bharatiya Janta Party politicians have met with Communist Party of China officials, most of them in China itself.

What happened at each of these meetings? Why have these two parties met so frequently? When BJP cadre went to the Communist Party “School,” what were they taught? Why did BJP-RSS leaders meet with the CCP in the same month as June 2017 border clashes at Doklam? Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai?

We demand a complete record of the minutes of each one of the following meetings:-

1. In October 2008, a 15-member Chinese Communist Party delegation visited the BJP Central Office. Rajnath Singh then said that the BJP “has always favoured fostering positive ties with China.”
