Congress leaders Ghulam Nabi Azad and Anand Sharma after attending the all-party meet called by the government told reporters that their party has raised some doubts before the government but made it clear that "nation is first -- be it China or Kashmir".
"There is too much of tension and that should be lowered through diplomacy. We will also raise the issue in Parliament," both the leaders said.
Sharma said that the Congress made its view clear that national security was the priority and advised the government to rise above politics and tackle the situation
diplomatically.
Trinamool Congress leader Derek O'Brien said that his party raised "some serious questions" and claimed that the government had no answer to his question on preparedness for such incidents.
CPI-M General Secretary Yechury said that the government conveyed to the participants about the efforts being carried out to resolve the dispute.
Union minister Paswan said the external affairs minister and foreign secretary gave a detailed information on border issue especially in Dokalam.
"Everybody promised support to the government," he said.
