Makkal Needhi Maiam founder Kamal Haasan on Sunday demanded “transparency” and “accountability” from the Centre when questions are raised regarding the recent death of 20 Indian soldiers in the Galwan valley near the Line of Actual Control on the India-China border. We need to know what is being done to control China’s belligerence at the border,” said Mr. Haasan. “The PMO also issued an explanatory statement within 10 hours of his speech terming the questions as a ‘mischievous’ attempt to misinterpret the PM’s statements,” Mr. Haasan said. Millions of true nationalists like me are deeply pained by the soldiers’ deaths,” said Mr. Haasan. The current Prime Minister has frequented China more times than any other Prime Minister since independence.
