Rahul Gandhi says 'Chinese sitting on Indian land'; asks Centre to deal with it 'firmly'

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi came down heavily on the Centre demanding the government to deal with China "firmly". The Congress MP said the people of the country will not tolerate Chinese "sitting on Indian land".

Addressing a press conference on the eve of the culmination of his 134-day Bharat Jodo
Yatra, the Congress MP said that a Ladakhi delegation clearly said that 2000 square km
of the Indian Territory was taken by the Chinese.

"Government is under the impression that the Chinese have not taken any land from India. A delegation from Ladakh clearly said that 2000 square km of Indian Territory was taken by the Chinese. They also said that many patrolling points that used to be in India are now firmly in Chinese hands," said Rahul Gandhi.

The Wayanad MP said the approach that the government was following by completely denying that the Chinese have taken our land is extremely dangerous as it would give them the confidence to do even more aggressive things.

"The approach Government is following by completely denying that the Chinese have taken our land is dangerous and it will give them more confidence to do more aggressive things. We have to deal with the Chinese firmly and tell them they are sitting on our land, won't be tolerated," he further said.
