Ladakh: Ladakh’s BJP Member of Parliament, Jamyang Tsering Namgyal, said that Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister, was responsible for ceding Aksai Chin to China.

This claim adds a historical layer to Namgyal’s accusations, pointing directly at a specific decision that, in his view, contributed to territorial losses in the region.

The mention of Nehru giving away Aksai Chin to China encapsulates a longstanding point of contention in India’s history, providing a focal point for discussions on border disputes and diplomatic decisions that continue to resonate in contemporary political discourse.

Namgyal’s assertion not only criticises Congress governments for their alleged appeasement policy but also singles out a defining moment in Indian history, inviting scrutiny and debate on the choices made during a critical period.
