"If we fight amongst ourself, it is of no use," Sanjay Singh said.
Lucknow: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh on Sunday said that if the ruling party and the Opposition engage in "do do heath" (fighting) amongst themselves then when will they fight against China.
"If we fight with one another then when will we fight against China. 20 soldiers have made the supreme sacrifice to free Indian territory from China. This is time to chase away Chinese from our land. If we want to avenge the martyrdom of our soldiers then the ruling and opposition parties should come together and make a policy on how to give a reply to China. If we fight amongst ourself, it is of no use," Mr Singh told news agency ANI.
He was reacting to Union Home Minister Amit Shah's statement "Parliament honi hai, charcha karni hai to aaiye, karenge. 1962 se aaj tak do-do haath ho jayein. Koi nahi darta charcha se."-- (Let us discuss from 1962 war onwards till now, ready for robust debate).
"The role of the Opposition is to show the mirror to the government. While the government's role is to work on the good suggestions given by the Opposition," Mr Singh said.
The senior AAP leader stated, "I feel that the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi are speaking the same language which China is speaking. I am sad about this because the country has lost 20 Jawans. In this time they are saying that China has not occupied an inch of India's land. This is what China is saying also that they have not occupied India''s land."
"Why are there foreign ministerial-level talks? Why there were army officer-level talks? Why is there a tussle between Indian and Chinese armies? Our 20 soldiers became martyrs to free our land from China and you are saying that Chinese have not captured one inch of our land," he said.
