Rahul Gandhi said about China: The Congress leader Rahul Gandhi brought up the China border issue on Friday, claiming that the PLA has occupied Indian territory. This comes a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping met outside of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa. Asserting that “not even an inch of Ladakh has been taken by China,” he further claimed that Modi had lied.
“Ladakh is a strategic location…One thing is very clear China has taken away India’s land…It is sad that the PM in the opposition meeting said that not even an inch of Ladakh has been taken by China. This is a lie,” Rahul Gandhi said.
“Ladakh doesn’t have scarcity of solar energy, and the people of BJP know this. This is a matter of land and they want to take away your land,” he added.
Gandhi also asserted that the people of Ladakh had complained to him about the suppression of their political voice.
“You might have become a Union Territory, but you are being deprived of your rights. You told me that the promises of employment made to you were false,” he said.
Rahul arrived visited Ladakh on August 17, his first trip there after the area received UT statehood in August 2019 after being separated from Jammu and Kashmir. Along with becoming a Union Territory, the former state of Jammu and Kashmir had its special status under Article 370 repealed.
Before arriving in Kargil on Thursday, Rahul rode his motorbike to nearly all well-known locations over the course of the previous week, including the Pangong Lake, Nubra Valley, Khardungla Top, Lamayuru, and Zanskar.
