Can’t compare 1962 with now: Congress

NEW DELHI: Congress reacted sharply on Saturday to Sharad Pawar’s remark reminding the party of 1962, saying there could be no comparison between 1962 and the present and that advising the government did not amount to politics, reports. Congress spokesperson Sachin Sawant said former PM Manmohan Singh had advised Prime Minister Narendra Modi to measure his words before using them.
“It is not politics to advise the government or cite mistakes in the interest of the country. We are all with the government in the battle against China,” Sawant said in a statement. He said there could be no comparison between 1962, when India had fought a war, and the situation in 2020.
