Did PM Modi hesitate during the 2020 India-China Ladakh standoff? Claims from the former Army Chief’s book raise serious questions about leadership and accountability.
A serious allegation has been raised against Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his leadership during tense moments with China in 2020. Critics claim that when the country needed firm decisions, the government failed to act clearly and confidently.
What Happened During the Ladakh Crisis in 2020?
On August 31, 2020, India and China were locked in a high-risk military standoff in Eastern Ladakh. Chinese tanks were reportedly moving toward the strategic Rechin La area. At around 8:15 PM, then Army Chief General M.M. Naravane contacted the Modi government, seeking urgent instructions on how to respond.
Did the Government Delay a Critical Decision?
According to General Naravane’s book Four Stars of Destiny, the government took more than two hours to give a clear response. During this period, no firm orders were issued, creating uncertainty at a crucial moment. Finally, around 10:30 PM, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh reportedly left the decision entirely to the Army.
Why Was the Army Chief’s Book Banned?
Soon after these details became public, the book was banned. Critics say this move shows the government was uncomfortable with the truth coming out. They argue that instead of addressing the concerns raised, the government chose to silence them.
Is Patriotism Just for Speeches?
Opposition voices claim this incident exposes a gap between strong patriotic speeches and real-time leadership. They say true patriotism is proven during crises, not just during rallies. The controversy continues to raise tough questions about accountability and decision-making at the highest level of power.
