He said, however, the bigger question here is that the Modi government "rolled out a red carpet to those who sided with Pakistan during the Operation Sindoor standoff".

"At that time, those who stood in support of Pakistan, providing logistical support, political backing, and psychological cover, were welcomed on the red carpet at this very BRICS Summit today. Modi ji rolled out the red carpet for them here," the Dooru MLA said.

Mir said China had martyred our soldiers in Galwan and encroached upon territory in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh.

"The prime minister of our country should have raised those specific issues and conveyed India's firm stance to China. In that regard, our government has failed," he added.
