 " Home and Defence minister can easily tell us what are y speaking to PLA, and Chinese government. Why are y embarrassed? Why are y silent? Can y tell us if Chinese have occupied our territory?" said Asuddin Owaisi. "Please enlighten us on what is it that y are talking to Chinese? How many Chinese soldiers have occupied our territory? Why this selective leak?" ded Owaisi. 

Owaisi also took a dig at PM Modi over sensitive issue saying, "Chinese are doing psychological warfare. But I am concerned about what my PM is doing. Please tell country what is happening? You don't want to tell because your approval ratings will take a hit."
