Kiren Rijiju Attacks Rahul Gandhi Over China Border Standoff Row: 'Wants To Project A Weak India'

  • Union Minister Kiren Rijiju criticized Rahul Gandhi for quoting an unpublished memoir on India-China clashes, accusing him of trying to portray India as weak.
  • The controversy erupted in Lok Sabha when Gandhi attempted to quote from former Army chief General MM Naravane's unpublished book, leading to interventions from Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Home Minister Amit Shah.
  • Rijiju stated Gandhi wasted 30 minutes trying to break a rule by quoting an unauthenticated book, despite the Speaker's ruling.
  • He challenged Gandhi to address historical land encroachments under Congress rule and apologize for the 1959 and 1962 incidents.
  • Rijiju asserted that under PM Modi, no Indian land would be conceded and urged Gandhi not to disrespect the Army by speaking on issues he doesn't understand.

Why It Matters: Kiren Rijiju slammed Rahul Gandhi for using an unpublished memoir to criticize the government on China border issues.
