Rahul Gandhi said that the country has been surrounded by adversaries on all sides and is isolated in the region.
Congress leader and MP Rahul Gandhi today launched a blistering attack on the Prime Minister, accusing him of "bringing China and Pakistan" together and making a "huge strategic mistake" in Jammu and Kashmir. In a speech laced with sharp attacks on the BJP-government, Mr Gandhi said that the country has been surrounded by adversaries on all sides and is isolated in the region.
"The strategic goal of India should have been to keep China and Pakistan separate. But what you have done is to bring them together. Do not underestimate what we are facing. This is a serious threat to India," he said, adding that we made a "huge strategic mistake" in Jammu and Kashmir, possibly referring to the reading down of Article 370 that revoked the special status granted to the state.
The Congress MP also claimed that India didn't have a guest for Republic Day this year because the country is "completely isolated and surrounded". "We are surrounded in Nepal, Afghanistan, China," he said.
"The Chinese have a very clear idea of what they are doing, look at the weapons they are buying and who they are talking to," he said.
