Detailed
Politics has been hot since the skirmish between Chinese soldiers and the Indian Army in Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is continuously targeting the government regarding this issue. Now Union Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar has broken the silence while countering his allegations. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said, to respond to the Chinese aggression, the biggest ever deployment has been done by the Indian Army on the LAC.
Army will respond to attempts at unilateral change
Addressing a media conclave, Jaishankar said, since 2020, the number of Chinese troops on LAC has increased. That’s why the Indian Army has also deployed troops on a large scale. He said, our army is deployed to counter any attempt of unilateral change by China. It is also the duty of the Indian Army.
Rahul Gandhi’s claim is not credible
The Foreign Minister said, the Government of India is serious about the China issue and Rahul Gandhi’s claim is not credible. In fact, recently Rahul Gandhi had said that the current situation on the India-China border is very serious. What happened recently was not just a skirmish, but China is preparing for a full-scale war. He accused the central government of ignoring this threat. Said that the government is trying to hide the facts from us, but this will not go on for long.
Anurag Thakur also retaliated
Earlier, Union Minister Anurag Thakur also hit back at Rahul Gandhi. He had said on Monday that before questioning us on the Tawang issue, Rahul Gandhi should answer about the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation. Thakur questioned whether the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation gets funding from China. Thakur did not stop here, he said, when the Indian Army was fighting with the Chinese soldiers in Doklam, was Rahul Gandhi with the Chinese officials.
