Jaipur: Rahul Gandhi, the head of the Congress, claimed on Friday that China is preparing for war and that the Indian government is ignoring the threat by sleeping on it.
He also said that China had seized 2,000 square kilometres of Indian territory, had murdered 20 Indian soldiers, and was currently "thrashing our jawans in Arunachal Pradesh."
"China's threat is pretty obvious to me. For the past two to three years, I have been quite explicit about this, but the government is attempting to ignore and conceal it. It is impossible to ignore or conceal this menace. The Indian administration is asleep, as evidenced by their extensive attack preparation taking place in Arunachal Pradesh and Ladakh "Gandhi said during this location's press conference. "Although the Chinese leadership does not want to hear this, preparations are being made. War preparations are being made. It is for war, not for incursion. If you observe their weaponry, you will notice that they are preparing for battle. Our administration conceals this because it can't accept it "The former head of Congress remarked. He asserted that this is taking place as a result of the Narendra Modi government' event-based work style and lack of strategic thinking.
"They consider event management, but when it comes to geostrategic issues, power prevails over event-based action. I've emphasised three or four times that we need to exercise caution and comprehend what is happening. They continue to make statements, and I notice the minister of foreign affairs is doing the same. I shouldn't say it, but he should improve his comprehension, "added Gandhi.
The BJP-led government has come under fire from the Congress for allegedly caving in to Chinese pressure and failing to confront the neighbouring nation over its repeated border violations.
The prime minister should confront China and forcefully resolve the border disputes with it by speaking "eye to eye," according to the opposition party.
Also, the Congress has been pushing for a debate in Parliament on the border problem and Chinese violations there.
