Even on the front of Chinese aggression in Galowan valley, the government has failed to deal with the situation to check the Chinese incursion.

"Moreover, in dealing with neighbouring countries like Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives etc of diplomacy has not yielded any positive result. It may be mentioned that the RSS, Vivekananda Foundation, India Foundation and Overseas friends of BJP also received funds from foreign agencies. It is known that Indira and Rajiv Gandhi foundations have been rendering services for the welfare of the common people of the Country."
