The Congress on Monday alleged that the Modi government “heckled” Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi to stop him from speaking in the Lok Sabha on the India-China border conflict of 2020 from former Army chief Manoj Naravane’s “memoir” as it was afraid that the “truth of its incompetence” would be exposed.Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said that Rahul Gandhi raised an important issue of national security in Parliament, but the Modi government is avoiding a discussion on it.
“The ideological foundation of the RSS-BJP itself rests on concealing facts, which is precisely why this cowardly Modi government is dodging answers on serious questions of national security in Parliament as if someone has touched its most painful nerve,” he said in a post on X in Hindi.
“What exactly is written in the former Army Chief’s book that has the big-shot ministers of the Modi government so rattled? Who is stopping his book from being published? “The entire country knows that the BJP’s nationalism is fake! They make grand speeches about patriotism, yet after the supreme sacrifice of our 20 soldiers in Galwan in 2020, Modi ji himself hands over China a clean chit. Isn’t this the truth?” Kharge said.
