Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said the Narendra Modi government’s “cowardice” will lead to tragic consequences, predicting that India’s territory in Depsang captured by China will not be recovered.

Referring to a report suggesting the build-up of Chinese soldiers across the Line of Actual Control (LAC), Rahul tweeted, “China mobilized its conventional & cyber forces to threaten India. The Government of India buckled. Mark my words, our land in Depsang is gone and DBO (Daulat Beg Oldie) is vulnerable. The Government of India’s cowardice will lead to tragic consequences in the future.”

While the government of India maintains that negotiations with China on disengagement is continuing, the Congress leader has been making scathing attacks on the Prime Minister, accusing him of not showing the courage to confront China.

The Prime Minister, who initially said nobody had entered Indian territory and no post was occupied by anybody, has avoided speaking on the subject despite ceaseless attacks by the Opposition leader.

Rahul also tweeted about the horrific incident in Hathras in Uttar Pradesh where a man was shot dead for complaining against the harassment of his daughter.

He said, “The situation is deteriorating in Uttar Pradesh under the BJP day by day.

Nobody has escaped the impact of this misrule. This government is a curse on every community.”
