\"\"New Delhi: The Congress leadership has condemned the killing of four civilians during Indian forces\u2019 firing on protesters in Leh on September 24, demanding an impartial judicial inquiry into the incident and called out Prime Minister Narendra Modi for betraying the people of Ladakh.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, among those killed was Kargil war veteran Tsewang Tharchin. Both Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi highlighted the anguish surrounding his death in their social media posts.<\/p>\n

Kharge shared a video of Tharchin\u2019s grieving father on social media, stating, \u201cTsewang Tharchin served India in the Kargil War\u2026 What did he get in return? A bullet from the Modi government in Ladakh! Both father and son served the army.\u201d<\/p>\n

Criticizing Modi for giving China a \u201cclean chit\u201d after the Galwan clash, Kharge said, \u201cWhen 20 soldiers died at the LAC in Galwan area of Ladakh, Modi gave China a \u2018clean chit.\u2019 How can such a government respect the sacrifice of brave soldiers like Tsewang Tharchin? This is BJP\u2019s hollow nationalism.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rahul Gandhi echoed the sentiment, posting the same video and lamenting, \u201cFather in the army, son in the army \u2014 patriotism runs in their blood. Yet this brave son was shot simply for standing up for Ladakh\u2019s rights. Modi ji, you have betrayed the people of Ladakh. They are demanding their rights. Stop the politics of violence and fear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe demand that an impartial judicial inquiry be conducted into these killings in Ladakh, and the culprits be given the harshest punishment,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh expressed outrage over Tharchin\u2019s killing, emphasizing that he was peacefully protesting for Ladakh\u2019s Sixth Schedule status. \u201cIt is a matter of deepest anguish that he and three others were killed in the firing,\u201d Ramesh said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
