Stating that the government is accountable to the people, Tharoor said that the opposition parties are asking for a discussion on the issue in the house. Alleging that all parties were united and standing us for the nation and the security of the country he said, “We want the government to take us into confidence, and the people of India into confidence about what they (centre) are seeing on the border.”
