NEW DELHI: Former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh and the BJP were “scared” to acknowledge the truth about Chinese soldiers squatting on Indian land.
Rahul was responding to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s assertions during the Dussehra programme that India intended to be friendly with all, but that “attempts to disintegrate or weaken us by brute force is unacceptable”.
“Deep inside, Mr Bhagwat knows the truth. He is just scared to face it. The truth is China has taken our land and GOI and RSS have allowed it,” Rahul said on Twitter.
His criticism came on the back of Bhagwat’s assertion that India needed to be militarily better prepared against China's expansionist attitude.
Rahul has mounted an aggressive and persistent attack on PM Narendra Modi on the border standoff with China.
