NEW DELHI: Congress president Rahul Gandhi today tweeted wondering
how Prime Minister Narendra Modi will react to news that China has
resumed road and other military infrastructure construction in Doklam by
circumventing Indian troops.

"How will Modi Ji react this time? *Hugplomacy *Blame RM *Cry in public
*All of the above", tweeted Rahul.
In Doklam, it’s China season again. How will Modi Ji react this time?

Rahul was referring to the PM's penchant for hugging world leaders, which
the Congress ridicules and calls "hugplomacy", and to the times he's cried
in public - while making his first speech in Parliament, during a townhall
with Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg, and while paying homage to the
religious head of the Swaminarayan sect.

The China reference was to a TOI report from yesterday.

Sources told TOI that China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) troops are
"trying to work around or outflank" the Indian Doklam military outpost,
which is located on a ridge, by constructing a new 1.3-km long road and
"communication trenches" around 4-km away from the spot. This
alternative axis could allow China access to the Jampheri Ridge in south
Doklam, as the PLA had earlier wanted, before the 73-day troop stand-off
last year.

Indian security establishment officials on Monday, refused to comment on the

news. New Delhi is "highly sensitive" about the Jampheri Ridge because it
overlooks its militarily-vulnerable Siliguri Corridor, or the so-called "Chicken's
Neck" area.

Officials say China remains keen to usurp Doklam or the Dolam Plateau, disputed
between Beijing and Thimpu, to add strategic depth to its narrow Chumbi Valley,
which juts in like a dagger between Sikkim and Bhutan.
