Targeting Rahul Gandhi on commenting on China, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said on Monday that he hopes that Congress leaders will improve their modalities after the Supreme Court “reprimanded” to make “baseless claims”.
Supreme court’s strong objection to Rahul Gandhi’s claim
Rijiju’s comment came when the Supreme Court verbally objected to Rahul Gandhi’s claim to occupy 2,000 square kilometers of Indian territory by China.
Such statements are going to drop the morale of the army: Rijiju
The minister said, “These types of statements of the Leader of the Opposition are extremely harmful to the nation and this makes the morale of our armies fall.” He said that many leaders had appealed to Gandhi not to make baseless statements, but he was not ready to take any advice.
Hopefully Supreme Court warning will be affected: Rijiju
Rijiju said, “I am happy that the Supreme Court has warned him. It is a strong reprimand to make a baseless claim. I hope the Congress and it will improve their ways after the court rebuke.” Rijiju insisted that the region of India is completely safe.
Army and government clear stance: China did not handle land
Rijiju said that the armed forces and the government have constantly stated that although the border dispute has been going on for a long time, China has not grabbed any land.
Rahul Gandhi will get information from China: Rijiju’s stance
The minister said, maybe Rahul Gandhi may have received this information from China. He said that Gandhi is a responsible citizen and should avoid making baseless claims.
