Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for denying alleged presence of Chinese troops on Indian soil. Contending that PM could t be termed as a "patriot", he me an incredulous claim that China h snatched away 1200 sq. km of country's land. dressing a rally in Haryana, Gandhi bragged that Armed Forces would have pushed out China in less than 15 minutes if Congress party was in power at Centre. PM and or Union Ministers have consistently dismissed Gandhi's charge of China occupying Indian territory. 

Ex-Congress president Rahul Gandhi remarked, "I want to guarantee you that China did t have guts to enter Indian territory. re is only one country in world in which ar country's Army entered, snatched 1200 sq. km. of land and coward PM says that one has occupied any territory. only country like this is India. And se people called mselves patriots. PM calls himself a patriot but entire country kws that Chinese Army is inside country. What kind of a patriot is he? If our government was in power, we would have thrown out China in less than 15 minutes. Our IAF would push m 100 km behind. This PM does t understand strength of country."

LAC faceoff

 faceoff at Line of Actual Control was exacerbated when 20 Indian Army soldiers including a Commanding Officer were martyred in Galwan Valley on June 15 when de-escalation process was underway. This was followed by multiple attempts of provocation by Chinese side at end of August. Multiple rounds of Corps Commander-level and WMCC meetings have taken place between two sides to resolve crisis. In September, both Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar met ir respective Chinese counterparts in Moscow.

Making a statement on LAC situation in Lok Sabha on September 15, Rajnath Singh elaborated that re were friction points in Eastern Lakh, Gogra, Kongka La and Pangong Lake's rth and south banks. Singh conceded that LAC boundary issue remains unresolved due to reluctance of China to recognise tritional and customary alignment of border. Moreover, he ded that China is in illegal occupation of 38,000 sq. km in Lakh apart from 5,180 sq. km of Indian territory in PoK ceded by Pakistan in 1963.
