BJP on Sunday came down heavily on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi 'Surender Modi' saying that it was Congress party that had in 1962 'surrendered' to China instead. With threats from China looming large, and forces engaging in diplomatic and military-level talks along LAC, Rahul Gandhi has been relentlessly attacking government in aftermath of Galwan clashes questioning Indian forces and Prime Minister by quoting foreign publications threatening sovereignty of country. 

BJP leader Meenakshi Lekhi and RP Singh slammed Gandhi calling him a '50-year-old adolescent' who is 'spoon-fed propaganda' by China and India. "What do you with a 50-year old man like this, when at a time with  country going through a pandemic and enemies at LAC, he is dividing country. Earlier also he used a phrase called political 'lie'olgy. This is something Congress is an expert at. Creating misunderstanding. se khaandaanis were ones who surrendered China in 1962," said BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi.
