During a heated Parliament session, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi launched a scathing attack on the central government, claiming that China’s alleged intrusion into Indian territory was a consequence of the “failure” of the ‘Make in India’ initiative.
Gandhi argued that the government’s inability to strengthen domestic manufacturing had weakened the country’s strategic and economic position. “Had ‘Make in India’ been a success, our borders would have been more secure, and China would not have dared to enter Indian territory,” he remarked.
The Congress leader emphasized the need for robust economic and industrial policies to enhance national security and self-reliance. His statement sparked a sharp response from ruling party members, who defended the government’s policies and asserted India’s strong defense posture.
The debate underscored the growing political discourse around national security and the effectiveness of economic initiatives in safeguarding India’s borders.
