Rahul Gandhi attacks PM Modi says his “fake strongman image” is now India’s weakness….
New Delhi, July 20 (HS) Congress leader Rahul Gandhi released another video and shared his views on the face-off with China. He said that China is encroaching India’s land as part of its expansionary policy. Apart from this, China is also putting pressure on Prime Minister Narendra Modi through market.
Speaking on China’s tactical and strategic plan, Rahul Gandhi said, “At the tactical level, they are trying to improve their position whether it’s Galwan, whether it’s Demchok or whether it’s the Pangong Lake. They are disturbed by our highway, they want to make our highway redundant. And if they are thinking larger scale, they want to do something with Pakistan in Kashmir.”
The tensions between India and China cannot simply be defined as “a border issue”, he said. “It’s a border issue designed to put pressure on the Prime Minister and they are trying to attack his image.”
“Chinese don’t do anything without thinking about a strategy. In their mind, they have mapped out a world and they are now trying to shape the world… that’s what the scale of what they are doing. That’s what Gwadar is, that’s what Belt and Road is. It’s the restructuring of the planet,” Rahul Gandhi said.
Rahul Gandhi also said that whether it is Galwan, Pangong Lake or Demchok, China is trying to strengthen its position everywhere. China is troubled by the Durbuk-Shyok Daulat Beg Oldi (DSDB) road built by India and wants to ruin it.
“And they (Chinese) are thinking of putting pressure in a very particular way. And what they are doing is that they are attacking his image. They understand that it in order for Mr Narendra Modi to be an effective politician, in order for Mr Narendra Modi to survive as a politician, he has to protect the idea of ‘Chhapan Inch’. And this the real idea the Chinese are attacking. They are basically telling Mr Narendra Modi that if you do not do what we say, we will destroy the idea of Mr Narendra Modi as a strong leader,” Gandhi said.
