Rahul Gandhi unmoved by India's 59 Chinese app-ban; attacks Modi government on imports

In his first attack after the Indian government banned 59 Chinese-origin apps, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government buying more Chinese products than its predecessor. Taking to Twitter, the Congress leader shared a graph comparing the UPA government's and the NDA government's imports of Chinese products and stated "Fact don't lie." This comes a day after the Centre banned 59 Chinese apps including TikTok amid the Indo-China border tensions. The Congress has been blaming the ruling BJP government's 'mismanagement' for the India-China face-off, while the BJP has rebutted the Congress’s criticism and added a counter of its own, accusing the party of tying up with China to the detriments of India's interests under the UPA regime. Facts don’t lie. BJP says: Make in India. BJP does: Buy from China. pic.twitter.com/hSiDIOP3aU — Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) June 30, 2020 Read: Chinese mouthpiece incredulously touts PM Modi's Weibo popularity as India bans 59 apps List of banned Chinese apps: In a big move, the Home Ministry on Monday banned 59 Chinese Apps after receiving several complaints from various sources including several reports about the misuse of these apps for stealing and surreptitiously transmitting users’ data in an unauthorized manner to servers that have locations outside India.
