When did the USA came running to our defense?: Rajya Sabha MP on US NSA’s statement on LAC
New Delhi: Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi has asked a very simple question to the US Deputy National Security Advisor (NSA) Daleep Singh after he gave a statement on LAC and an indirect warning to India.
A few hours back the US NSA has said that Beijing and Moscow have strong ties and have no limits, But Russia will not come to India’s defense if China violates LAC again.
After US NSA’s statement, Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi asked that “Russia will not help India if China breaches the Line of Actual Control (LAC), but when did the USA came running to our defense?”
In a tweet, Singhvi said that China has breached the LAC several times in the last few years but the United States never came running to India’s defense.
If China breaches LAC, Russia will not come running to our Defence. – Dalip Singh

The US NSA also warned India against the purchase of Russian commodities like oil and gas saying there will be consequences for countries that actively attempt to circumvent the sanctions imposed on Russia after it went to war with Ukraine.
Meanwhile, India and United States are scheduled to hold a 2+2 dialogue in Washington on April 11.
