The Congress on Friday castigated Union home minister Amit Shah for allegedly failing to protect Indian shepherds in Ladakh from harassment by the Chinese army. A video circulated on social media purportedly shows Chinese soldiers blocking Indian graziers’ access to a pasture in the Chushul sector, setting off a heated exchange. “It is the responsibility of the home ministry to ensure that Indian graziers are able to exercise their rights as citizens inside Indian territory. We demand answers to some questions by home minister Amit Shah.”Ramesh went on: “1. Has there been any effort to protect them from Chinese harassment or are they forced to defend themselves with no support from the ITBP as it appeared in the video.”
