China preparing for war, Indian government asleep: Rahul Gandhi

TIL Desk/National/Jaipur/ On completion of 100 days of Bharat Jodo Yatra, Rahul Gandhi has said that China is constantly preparing for war while the government is asleep. “Our government is hiding the information on the preparations of China. The Government of India does not work strategically, it works on an event basis. When it comes to geopolitics, events do not work there. Foreign Minister’s statements keep coming, but he needs to deepen his understanding, said Gandhi while addressing a press conference.

Gandhi in fact speaking in the middle of the conference expressed his surprise saying that no one is asking questions on China. “China occupied 2 thousand square kilometers of land and martyred 20 Indian soldiers, they are beating our soldiers in Arunachal Pradesh, but the media is silent and not asking a single question,” he commented.

However, later on a question raised by the media, he said that the government is asleep as China is preparing for war. Speaking on factionalism in the party, he said, “There is no dictatorship in our party. There is rhetoric and little discussions keep happening in the Congress, which is a good thing. Not only in Rajasthan, it is practised in other states as well. The general ideology is that if the party people want to speak, they should not be made silent by intimidation.”
