During his visit to Washington, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s handling of India’s relationship with China, stating that the government has failed to effectively manage tensions with the neighboring country. Gandhi raised concerns about the ongoing border disputes and the broader geopolitical challenges posed by China.
Speaking at an event, Gandhi emphasized that the Modi administration has not been transparent about the situation along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), where skirmishes between Indian and Chinese troops have heightened tensions in recent years. He further argued that India’s national security is being compromised due to the lack of a strategic and robust response to Chinese aggression.
Gandhi’s remarks come amid ongoing debates over India’s foreign policy approach, with opposition leaders questioning the government’s handling of border conflicts, economic ties, and diplomatic relations with China. He stressed the need for stronger leadership to protect India’s interests on the global stage.
This critique is part of Gandhi’s broader campaign to challenge the Modi government’s policies on various fronts, both domestically and internationally, as he continues to position the Congress party as a viable alternative ahead of upcoming elections.
