Congress leader Rahul Gandhi paid floral tribute to former PM Rajiv Gandhi on his birth anniversary in Ladakh. Congress leader talked about Chinese intrusion in the area and said as per locals China has entered the area and has taken away their grazing land. He said, “Here, the concern is of course China has taken away the land…people have said that China’s army has entered the area and their grazing land was taken away but PM said that not an inch of land was taken away, but this is not true, you can ask anyone here.” BJP criticised Rahul Gandhi for his statement saying that Congress has always demoralised the army and defamed the nation. Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said that Congress gave away 45000 Km of land to China in 1962.
