BJP SLAMS RAHUL FOR HURTING MORALE OF INDIAN FORCES

Rahul Gandhi should disclose the details of the MoU signed between the Congress and the CCP.

The BJP on Wednesday flagged a 2008 MoU between the Congress and Chinese Community Party to target Rahul Gandhi, asking if the agreement required him to work against India’s interests and to hurt the morale of Indian forces.

BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia’s attack came hours after Gandhi reiterated his charge that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s assertion during the early weeks of the Ladakh standoff that China had not captured any part of Indian territory was an “absolute lie”. “The whole of Ladakh knows that China has usurped our land,” Gandhi told reporters.

Hitting back, Bhatia said China captured over 43,000 sq km of Indian land when Jawaharlal Nehru was prime minister and asked if Gandhi believed the stalwart Congress leader and his great grandfather was a “traitor”. The term ‘gaddar’ (traitor) was used by Gandhi recently for those who “gave away a part of Bharat Mata” to China, the BJP leader noted.
