New
Delhi,
Dec
19:
Congress
leader,
Rahul
Gandhi
who
recently
questioned
the
government
on
the
China
crisis
has
found
himself
on
the
wrong
side
of
the
narrative
where
this
issue
is
concerned
several
times.

Following
the
face-off
between
the
two
sides
in
Tawang,
Arunachal
Pradesh,
Rahul
Gandhi
said
that
China
is
not
preparing
for
an
incursion
but
a
full-fledged
war.
The
threat
is
clear,
but
our
government
is
ignoring
the
threat
and
the
Centre
is
trying
to
hide
facts
from
us,
but
won’t
be
able
to
do
for
long,
he
alas
said.
He
also
said
that
China
is
beating
our
Jawans.

There
has
been
widespread
criticism
to
the
insensitive
remarks
by
the
Gandhi
family
scion.
Information
and
Broadcasting
Minister,
Anurag
Thakur
hit
out
and
said
that
Rahul
Gandhi
was
seen
having
soup
with
Chinese
officials
at
the
time
of
the
Doklam
incident.
He
questioned
the
India
Army
when
it
carried
out
the
surgical
strikes.
Rahul
Gandhi
and
the
Congress
do
not
have
faith
in
the
Army,
Thakur
also
said.

“If
we
were
in
denial,
why
is
the
Army
out
there?
They
didn’t
go
there
because
Rahul
Gandhi
asked
them
to
go.
The
Army
went
there
because
the
Prime
Minister
ordered
them,”
External
Affairs
Minister,
Dr.
S
Jaishankar
had
said
at
the
India
Today
Indo-Japan
Conclave
2022.

Rahul
Gandhi
has
been
called
out
each
time
he
has
spoke
about
the
China
issue.
Earlier
this
year
a
video
of
him
had
gone
viral
where
he
is
seen
at
a
nightclub.
Many
shared
the
video
on
Twitter
and
said
that
the
woman
accompanying
the
Congress
leader
Hou
Yanqi,
the
Chinese
Ambassador
to
Nepal.
However
it
was
learnt
later
that
the
woman
in
the
video
was
the
friend
of
the
bride
and
not
a
Chinese
diplomat.

Last
week
Union
Home
Minister
Amit
Shah
had
called
out
Rahul
Gandhi
about
the
funding
that
was
granted
to
the
Rajiv
Gandhi
Foundation.
He
said
that
an
amount
of
above
Rs
1
crore
had
been
paid
to
the
foundation
to
do
a
study
on
India-China
ties.

In
this
backdrop
many
users
had
tweeted
an
image
of
Rahul
Gandhi
along
with
his
sister
Priyanka
Gandhi,
brother-in-law
Robert
Vadra
and
Congress
leader
Anand
Sharma
with
Chinese
envoys.
The
users
had
linked
this
with
the
Doklam
crisis.

China
preparing
for
war,
but
our
government
hiding
this
fact:
Rahul
Gandhi

Rahul
Gandhi
had
however
tweeted
saying
that
he
had
met
with
the
Chinese
ambassador
and
added
that
it
was
his
hob
to
be
informed
on
critical
issues.
I
met
the
Chinese
Ambassador,
Ex-NSA,
Congress
leaders
from
North
East
and
the
Bhutanese
Ambassador,”
Rahul
Gandhi
had
said.
