Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of making false allegations regarding the Army Chief’s remarks on the India-China border situation during a speech in Parliament. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Rajnath Singh said Gandhi misquoted the Army Chief, whose comments only referred to disturbances in traditional patrolling that had since been restored. “The words attributed to the Army Chief by Rahul Gandhi were never spoken by him at any time,” the Defence Minister said calling it “irresponsible politics on matters of national interest.”
Singh also pointed to historical territorial losses, stating that 38,000 sq. km in Aksai Chin was lost to China in 1962, and 5,180 sq. km was ceded by Pakistan to China in 1963. He urged Gandhi to reflect on that period of history.
