Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj accused former Army Chief General VK Singh of trying to divert attention from China by focusing on Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK). Bharadwaj claimed that China has taken over a large area of Indian territory and that Singh should address this issue instead. Opposition leaders have also alleged that China has occupied Indian land in Ladakh, with Congress MP Rahul Gandhi stating that the people of Ladakh feel betrayed by the government.
