New Delhi, Feb 2 || Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday sought an apology from the Congress and Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi for his controversial “Chinese tanks in Doklam” remark and also for the sin of surrendering Indian territory to China in the past.
Addressing reporters after an adjournment in Lok Sabha over Rahul Gandhi’s remarks, Rijiju said compromising our territory will never be allowed; in fact, the Congress must apologise for the sins it committed by surrendering Indian territory to China before 1959 and in 1962.
“Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India would not surrender even an inch of its land,” he said, calling Rahul Gandhi’s claims a bid to create a false narrative and project India as a weak nation.
Criticising Gandhi’s unsubstantiated claims, Rijiju said the Congress must apologise.
“They can’t reclaim the land that the Congress government surrendered to China 50-60 years ago. If they cannot undo the past, at least they can apologise,” said Rijiju.
