Speaking of security in present times Rahul Gandhi said, “You can get attacked from inside. You can face cyberattacks. So in the 21st century, one has to have a global view. And that’s where the government has completely gone and miscalculated.”
He further added, “We constantly hear about what is going on at the border. And the fact of the matter is China has taken about 2,000 km of our territory. Frankly, we have not said anything. The military has said they are sitting in our territory. The Prime Minister has said nobody has come. This sends a very clear message to China… and the message is: ‘We can do what we want, and India will not respond, right?'”
He added, “In some conversations that they are having with our military, they are actually making the statement that look your Prime Minister said that we are not in your territory.”
Further, targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as Kamal Haasan called the approach “whistling in the dark”, on which Rahul Gandhi can be heard saying, “Imagine if you are the leader and your forces and my forces are negotiating, and your forces come and say you are in my territory, and then I say your leader has said we are not. So it destroys the entire negotiation position of India. This is the first aspect. The second aspect of it is earlier you fought on a border, and now you fight everywhere.”

“The point is not going to war but being in a position where you can’t be attacked. And there’s a link between a nation with a weak economy, and the Chinese sitting in our territory because they see the country dealing with internal matters, internal confusion, and they can do whatever they want,” he further added.
During the conversation, he also insisted on communication channels between the opposition and the government should remain open.
