New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today said that the Chinese have occupied Indian land and hiding the truth about it is ‘anti-national’.
In a video message, the former chief of the party, said, ‘It is absolutely clear that the Chinese have entered the Indian territory and it makes my blood boil.’ He added that as a politician, he cannot keep quiet on the matter.
‘I have seen the satellite images, have spoken to ex-Army people. If you want me to lie that the Chinese did not enter the country, I will simply not lie, even if my whole career goes to hell,’ he said.
Stating that those who are lying about the Chinese presence on India’s land are the ones who are not patriotic, he added: ‘I don’t care if it costs me my political career, but I will state the truth as far as the Indian territory is concerned.’
In a similar message last week, Rahul had said that the government lack a vision in dealing with the China situation.
‘If you deal with them (China) with a position of strength, you can deal with them,’ he said in the video.
‘Dealing with the situation with China requires a vision, an international vision,’ he said and added that India needs to have a global vision and needs to become an idea in itself.
