Known for his out of line comments Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Thursday called for striking back at Chins saying the Indian arsenal was not meant to hatch eggs.

The Congress leader in Lok Sabha took to Twitter amid reports of fresh Chinese buildup along the LAC in eastern Ladakh, Chowdhury said “the Chinese are to be repulsed back by whatever means, our arsenals are not meant for hatching eggs, so strike back, drive back, force back the Chinese aggression, god will be Indian in deciding the course of conflict.”

Choudhry said in spite of all Indian endeavours to diffuse the tense situation along LOAC which even resulted 20 precious lives of our army, China is hell bent upon altering the status quo.

“China is furtively and fervently encroaching our land in a steady manner much to the peril of Indian security and territorial integrity, it is a catch-22 situation for us, but we can not afford ourselves to be cowed down by the red Army,” he said calling for muscular aggressive approach to China.

Meanwhile, Congress veteran and former Home Minister P Chidambaram said people were watching if the government would succeed in restoring status quo ante at the border.

“Foreign Ministry and PLA of China once again assert their claim to the entire Galwan Valley and demand that India should vacate the Valley. Extraordinary demand! Will BJP-led NDA government once again reassert India’s claim and demand that “status quo ante” must be restored? “asked Chidambaram.

He said contrary to what the PM said, it is undeniable that the status quo was changed by Chinese troops in April-June 2020.

“People are watching if the Modi government will succeed in restoring the status quo ante,” he noted.
