New Delhi, Feb 12: The BJP on Friday lashed out at Rahul Gandhi for his allegation that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has ceded territory to China with its president J P Nadda dubbing the charge as “false” and questioning if it is not an insult to the armed forces who are leading the disengagement strategy.
Nadda dubbed Gandhi’s presser in which he attacked Modi as a “new edition of Congress circus”. “Why is he bent upon falsely claiming that the disengagement is a loss for India? Is it a part of INC-China MoU?” the BJP leader asked in a tweet.
Gandhi on Friday alleged that the prime minister has “ceded” Indian territory to the Chinese, and questioned the government over its agreement with China on disengagement of troops in eastern Ladakh.
“This is absolute 100 per cent cowardice. This is nothing else. The Prime Minister is a coward who cannot stand up to the Chinese…He is betraying the sacrifice of our army,” he charged.
Hitting back, Nadda said, “A new edition of Congress circus today, again due to Mr. @ Rahul Gandhi. With the armed forces leading the disengagement strategy, isn’t this an insult of our brave forces?” He also posted a couple of media reports and a video message of a former IAF officer to allege that the Congress-led UPA government did not trust the armed forces and vice versa.
“No Indian land has been given up by the government as part of the current disengagement process. If anyone committed the sin of giving up thousands of sq km, it is one corrupt, cowardly dynasty that has broken the country to keep their power intact,” he said, attacking the Nehru-Gandhi family.
