The Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday attacked the Congress party by raising an issue of a news report in the New York Times which claimed that web portal NewsClick was pushing China's agenda. 

"... Between 2005 and 2014, Chinese Government has paid money to Congress .... Congress wants to divide India ...," Dubey alleged in Lok Sabha, amid opposition uproar.

The BJP leader further alleged that Congress leaders were in contact with China during the Doklam stand-off. 

Dubey alleged that NewsClick has received Rs 38 crore in funding from China which was used against the government

Rahul Gandhi was present in the House when Dubey raised the issue.

As members from the opposition and treasury benches continued to be on their feet, Kirit Solanki, who was chairing the proceedings, adjourned the Lok Sabha till 2 pm.
