NEW DELHI: (Apr 3) Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Thursday claimed that China had taken over 4,000 square kilometre of Indian territory and that reciprocal tariffs or import duties imposed by the US would “completely devastate” the Indian economy, as he demanded answers from the government over these issues.
Speaking during the Zero Hour in the Lok Sabha, Gandhi slammed the government over the celebration of the 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties by India and China.
“China is sitting on 4,000 square kilometre of our territory. I was shocked some time back to see that our foreign secretary (Vikram Misri) was cutting a cake with the Chinese ambassador. The question is — what exactly is happening to this territory of 4,000 sq km that China has taken?” the former Congress president said. PTI
