Congress on Backfoot After Salman Khurshid Meets CPC Delegation Amid China Jab

• Congress criticized BJP and RSS for meeting a CPC delegation, accusing them of 'meek surrender' on China.
• The CPC delegation, led by Sun Haiyan, met BJP leaders in Delhi and RSS at their headquarters.
• Congress leader Pawan Khera questioned BJP's tough public posture on China, citing border tensions and Galwan clash.
• It later emerged that senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid also met the same CPC delegation, approved by the Indian government.
• BJP accused Congress of double standards, stating inter-party interactions are normal and defending their meetings as part of diplomatic normalcy.
