Rahul Gandhi finally debuts 'his thoughts'; BJP disconcerted at his map of India
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi shared his thoughts on the border conflict while underlying that India’s vulnerability has allowed China's intrusion in the country
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday shared his thoughts on the border conflict while underlying that India’s vulnerability has allowed China to increase tensions along the border. In a video shared on Twitter, the former Congress chief said that since 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘mistakes and lack of discretion has weakened India,’ thus allowing its enemies to launch attacks.
However, the map of India displayed in the video shared by the Congress leader did not include the reorganised boundaries of the Union Territory of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh.
Slamming Rahul Gandhi for the grave mistake, BJP leader Amit Malviya said, at a time when the Indian Army is resisting the Chinese, such mistakes from the Congress are concerning. Malviya asked why Rahul Gandhi failed to acknowledge the abrogation of article 370 in his video that took 'so long to come'.
