Addressing a public rally in Ladakh’s Kargil on Friday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said it is sad that even though China has clearly stolen India’s land, Prime Minister Narendra Modi denied it in the Opposition meeting.
Gandhi said: “It is very clear that China has taken away hundreds of kilometres of land from India. India’s prime minister said that not even an inch of the country’s land has been taken. This is a blatant lie.”
Gandhi further said it became clear to him that Ladakh’s land has been stolen by the neighbouring country when he visited Pangong Lake on the eve of his father and former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi’s birth anniversary. Every person in Ladakh knows there is no truth to what the prime minister said, he said.
“Other ministers talk about their mann ki baat, I thought let me hear your mann ki baat,” Congress leader said about his visit to “every corner” of Ladakh during his tour.
He went on to say: “The BJP wants to steal your land from you. They want to allow Adani’s big projects to be set up here and do not want you to benefit from them either. We will not let this happen. We support the demands of the Leh’s apex body and the Kargil Democratic Alliance.”
