On China incorporating Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai China in its new map, Rahul Gandhi the Congress MP said,” The question of the map is a very serious one. But they (China) have captured our land. The prime minister should also speak on this issue”.
Rahul was on his way to Mysuru in Karnataka where he along with Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge will attend the launch event of the State Government’s Gruha Lakshmi scheme. This scheme will be rolled out at a public function in Mysuru in the presence state Chief Minister Siddaramiah and senior leaders of the party.
Under the scheme, one among five poll promises made by Congress during its election campaign, the state government will provide Rs 2,000 monthly assistance to the woman head of the family of BPL families.
China released the 2023 edition of its “standard map,” which shows the state of Arunachal Pradesh and the Aksai Chin region as part of its territory.
Earlier this month, during his visit to Ladakh, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi hit out at the Centre, saying that its claim that not an inch of Indian land was taken by China’s People Liberation Army (PLA) troops “is not true”.
The Congress MP claimed the locals, too, contend that Indian territory was intruded upon and taken by the Chinese troops, adding that it was a matter of concern.
