The Congress on Friday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had met President Xi Jinping 20 times, given a clean chit to the neighbour on cross-border transgressions, and allowed the PM Cares Fund to take crores in donations from Chinese companies, asking who is “controlled by foreign powers”.

Congress general secretary (communications) Jairam Ramesh put out a video of the meetings between Modi and Xi and of the swing along the Sabarmati riverfront.

“Mr Modi has met Xi 20 times, including sitting on a jhoola with him. Mr Modi gave the Chinese a clean chit publicly on the issue of border transgressions on June 19, 2020. Mr Modi allowed PM Cares Fund to take crores in donations from Chinese companies,” he said on X.
