Rahul Gandhi: ‘Mr. 56 Has Been Silent For Months Regarding China’
New Delhi, January 25, 2015: Against the ongoing conflict between India and China, once again former Congress President Rahul Gandhi has targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He has said that China is increasing its occupation in the Indian Territory, but PM Modi has been silent on the matters regarding China for months. Rahul tweeted tauntingly that ‘Mr. 56’ is silent about China for months.’
Rahul Gandhi on his Twitter handle stated, “China is expanding its occupation into Indian territory. Mr. 56 hasn’t said the word ‘China’ for months. Maybe he can start by saying the word ‘China’.
It was notified on Monday that on January 20, there was a clash between the soldiers of India and China in the Nakula sector of Sikkim in which soldiers on both sides were injured. However, the Indian Army later said that it was not a major incident, but rather a case of sporadic violence that had been resolved by the military authorities.
Earlier on Sunday, Rahul Gandhi also targeted PM Modi during his visit to Tamil Nadu. He stated, “For the first time the people of India are witnessing the Chinese army occupying Indian territories. Today while we talk here, thousands of Chinese soldiers are occupying our territories at this very moment and a person with a 56-inch chest is not ready to state the word ‘China’ much less talk about it. This is the reality of our country”.
