A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Ladakh, Former Congress Chief Rahul Gandhi on Saturday yet again warned the Central government about continuous Chinese intrusion in Ladakh. Maintaining that 'Patriotic Ladakhis are screaming a warning', Gandhi asked the Centre to listen to their continuous voices against PLA intrusion on Indian land.
Gandhi shared a video of a BJP block level counsellor speaking about China's repeated incursions in Ladakh. On Friday the Wayanad MP also shared a similar video where Ladhakis spoke about Chinese intrusions and captioned it "Ladakhis say: China took our land. PM says: Nobody took our land. Obviously, someone is lying". Gandhi has repeatedly attacked the PM claiming that he must 'break his silence on the Galwan clashes', despite PM Modi addressing the issue in several key high-level meetings.

“सैनिकों से बात” में चीन का नाम नहीं।
मज़बूत भारत के प्रधानमंत्री इतने कमजोर क्यों?
चीन का नाम तक लेने से गुरेज़ क्यों?
चीन से आँख में आँख डाल कब बात होगी?
