Union Minister Pralhad Joshi has termed “baseless” Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s allegations that China had grabbed India’s sovereign territory in Ladakh. Mr. Joshi instead said Mr. Gandhi “should understand” that “whatever land that China had grabbed was during the tenure of [the late Prime Minister] Jawahar Lal Nehru.”
“They are doing some activities in the area that was grabbed during Nehru’s tenure as Prime Minister. This is due to the sins committed by the Congress post-Independence that China has become our neighbour. From the time it was Tibet till today, these people pursued policies which led to this,” Mr. Joshi said. Mr. Gandhi, he said, “does not have any understanding” of the policies, he emphasised.
