JAMMU, Feb 12: Senior BJP leader and security and strategic affairs analyst, Brig (retd) Anil Gupta today said while Rahul Gandhi accuses the Modi Government of “Selling Bharat Mata to USA & Trump” in Parliament, history indicts the Congress party itself as the serial betrayer of national territory and interests.
In a statement issued here, he said from partition in 1947 to multiple post-war capitulations, successive Congress regimes under Nehru, Indira Gandhi, and beyond have ceded sacred Indian soil to adversaries—actions that dwarf any imagined “surrender” as falsely claimed by Rahul Gandhi during the debate on the National Budget in the ongoing session of the Parliament.
“I demand Rahul Gandhi apologize for his hypocrisy and confront his party’s legacy of weakness”, asserted Brig Gupta
Congress’s “surrender diplomacy” began with partition and continued through decades of strategic blunders. The irrefutable examples include; the 1947 partition wherein Nehru-Congress accepted British division, leading to 35% of pre-1947 India (including princely states) going to Pakistan despite Jinnah’s initial flexible proposals. Many analysts have attributed the partition to the political ambitions of his great grandfather Pandit Nehru.
Later during the Pakistani Aggression in Jammu and Kashmir in 1947-48 Nehru rushed UN ceasefire despite military advantage, freezing Pakistani occupation of 1/3rd of J&K (33,000 sq km) without full retrieval. Strategically important Gilgit-Baltistan & areas illegally occupied by Pakistan (POJK) still continue to be occupied by that country as a grave reminder of the slicing of the crown of Bharat Mata.
Nehru’s “Hindi-Chini Bhai-Bhai” naivety ignored the warnings which finally led to a war in which the nation was subjected to a humiliating defeat. Post the defeat, Congress quietly accepted China’s occupation of 38,000 sq km Aksai Chin and part of Arunachal areas. This led to permanent loss of a strategic highway. Later no attempt was made to reclaim the lost territory despite PLA retreat from some areas.
Nehru’s Government protested meekly and weakly as Pakistan ceded 5,180 sq km Indian-claimed Ladakh territory (under illegal POJK occupation) to China via boundary agreement.| It weakened India’s Northern border claims and enabled Sino-Pak axis against India. This is called “Wholesale Surrender”, reminded Brig Gupta.
Indira Gandhi’s regime in 1974 secretly ceded 285-acre strategic Palk Strait Katchatheevu Island to Sri Lanka without Parliament approval or Tamil Nadu consultation leading to loss of fishing rights for one lakh TN fishermen and forfeited a potential strategic naval base.
Congress has always prioritised compromise and appeasement over assertiveness,” stated Brig Gupta.
