Gandhi wrote on Twitter that the PM was “absolutely silent” even as the Chinese walked in and occupied Indian territory in Ladakh
NEW DELHI| A day after India and China disengaged at multiple points along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh amid a border dispute, with troops of both sides moving back up to 2.5 km, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday alleged that the Chinese have occupied Indian territory in the newly-carved union territory.
Attacking Prime minister Prime Narendra Modi, Gandhi wrote on Twitter that the PM was “absolutely silent” even as the Chinese walked in and occupied Indian territory in Ladakh.
Gandhi tweeted, “The Chinese have walked in and taken our territory in Ladakh. Meanwhile, the PM is absolutely silent and has vanished from the scene.”

Along with the tweet, the Congress MP tagged online news reports which claimed that the Chinese adopted a hard line during the high-level military talks last Saturday and they have also claimed all of the Galwan Valley and parts of Pangong Tso (lake).
Gandhi has been asking the Modi government to come clean on the border issue and tell the nation whether China has occupied Indian territory in the Ladakh region.
Meanwhile, a former top Army officer has criticised Gandhi for questioning the government on the India-China LAC dispute matter.
“He should not question what the government is doing as these things are secretive and cannot be divulged. He should have supported the govt. A sensible person would never make such a statement,” Lt Gen (retd) RN Singh was quoted as saying.
