New Delhi: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has said the government is accountable to Parliament.
Ahead of the monsoon session, he said, ‘Govt is accountable to Parliament. When have they reported to us on talks between Defence & Foreign Ministers (of India & China)?’
He added: “Nation needs to be taken into confidence by govt. Question of support for military beyond debate, we’re very strongly with our Army.”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today expressed confidence that Parliament will unitedly give this message that the country is standing solidly behind soldiers guarding India’s borders.
Speaking to the media before the commencement of Parliament’s monsoon session, Modi noted, in an apparent reference to the ongoing border row with China in Ladakh, that Indian soldiers are bravely discharging their duties while standing guard in difficult hilly terrains with snowfall expected in the coming days and weeks.
