4 min read

BJP chief Subramanian Swamy, who has begun to dedicate most of his time criticising the BJP authorities on the centre has as soon as once more turned to Twitter to unfold blatant lies, this time concentrating on Arunachal MP Tapir Gao. The Rajya Sabha MP took to Twitter to misquote Gao as a way to promote his anti-Modi agenda by raking his ‘Chinese incursions along LAC in Ladakh’ rhetorics. Furthermore, when he was caught peddling the lie, he tried to provide a ridiculous justification.
Today, the Arunachal MP responded to Swamy’s Tweet. He corrected Swamy by revealing that he had met the Rajya Saha MP and when he questioned him about Chinese intrusion he categorically advised him that there was no new incursion within the Modi regime. He additionally knowledgeable him that the standing stays the identical because it was after the 1962 struggle.
“I met @Swamy39 in Central Hall, Parliament on 2 Dec at 10:35 AM, when he asked about Chinese intrusion I told him that during 1962 war China occupied 2-3 locations during Congress regime but no fresh incursion has taken place during Modi regime; unfortunately he has misquoted me,” Tweeted the Arunachal Pradesh MP.

The Arunachal MP was responding to Swamy’s December 2, Tweet through which he wrote: “Today I met Tapir Gao BJP LS MP of Arunachal. He told me AP people wanted that I also focus on Arunachal. He told me that China PLA has already crossed Macmahon Line in three parallel columns halfway down south of the State. Early next year I will go to AP.”
No sooner was Swamy reprimanded by the Arunachal MP for misquoting him, the previous gave an especially lame reply to justify his actions. He Tweeted that “did not state any date except to say that China had already occupied territory.” He additional wrote: “Even if China had occupied it in 1962 and had built pucca villages thereafter why were we sleeping since 2014 and 18 one to one meetings? Was it ever raised with Xi?”
I didn’t state any date besides to say that China had already occupied territory. Even if China had occupied it in 1962 and had constructed pucca villages thereafter why had been we sleeping since 2014 and 18 one to 1 conferences? Was it ever raised with Xi?— Subramanian Swamy (@Swamy39) December 3, 2021
Swamy provided no clarification as to why he had misquoted the Arunachal Pradesh MP.
It is pertinent to notice that Swamy had categorically stated in his tweet that Gao had requested him to get entangled in Arunachal Pradesh claiming that he had stated that individuals of Arunachal needed Swamy to focus within the state. He insinuated that Gao had stated that PLA had crossed the parallel columns midway down south of the state lately.
While defending himself, he stated that Gao had not talked about a “date” which looks like an untenable clarification on condition that Gao stated particularly that he talked about “Congress regime”. Even if we think about this as miscommunication, it doesn’t clarify why Swamy lied and claimed that Gao had advised him that the individuals of Arunachal Pradesh need him to personally get entangled.
For months now, Swamy has been more and more important of the BJP authorities on the centre. It was broadly rumoured that Swamy was coveting the submit of Finance Minister ever because the BJP shaped its authorities on the Centre in 2014. However, he was persistently denied the submit, following which he began voicing his criticism towards the central authorities. The Chinese incursion rhetorics is his newest barb to assault the Modi authorities.
Putting all such aspersion to relaxation, Arunachal Pradesh CM on Thursday once more clarified that China hasn’t constructed any villages in Arunachal Pradesh and any growth work undertaken by the neighbouring nation has been on the Chinese facet of the border.
