The Congress has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of getting closer to China and allowing Chinese company TikTok to resume operations in India.

“It is clear — Narendra Modi’s love for China has outweighed his love for the country,” the party tweeted. It added that TikTok’s website had started functioning again in India.

The Congress further alleged that Modi had struck a deal with China at the cost of the martyrdom of 20 Indian soldiers killed in the June 2020 Galwan clash with Chinese troops. According to the party, the Prime Minister initially gave China a “clean chit” but later banned TikTok under Congress’s pressure to manage headlines.

“In the clash with China, 20 of our brave soldiers were martyred. Initially, Narendra Modi gave China a clean chit. But when Congress exerted pressure, TikTok was banned to manage the headlines,” the party’s tweet said.

The Congress also claimed that Modi was once again cozying up to China by meeting the Chinese Foreign Minister and planning to visit the country, coinciding with reports about TikTok’s return.

Drawing a parallel with the India-Pakistan ceasefire, the party alleged that “just like the ceasefire with Pakistan, a deal has been struck with China at the cost of martyrdom.”
