NEW DELHI: Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Sino-India border standoff, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said the eastern neighbour knows PM is 'scared'.
Before the stand-off at eastern Ladakh, where the disengagement process has been completed with the withdrawal of troops, weapons, and other military hardware from the North and South banks of Pangong lake areas, the Chinese "tested the idea in Dokhlam (in 2017)," Gandhi said.
"Essentially the Chinese occupied certain strategic areas in our country. They first tested the idea in Dokhlam. They tested the idea to see how would India react and they noticed India did not react. And then they carried out the idea again in Ladakh and also I believe in Arunachal Pradesh," he added.
