'China inside Indian territory because Make in India failed': LoP Rahul Gandhi criticises Centre during Parliament session

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday claimed that the failure of the Union government’s Make in India initiative had allowed the Chinese military to establish a presence on Indian territory.

“Our Chief of Army Staff has said that the Chinese are inside our territory,” Gandhi said in the Lok Sabha, in an apparent reference to the military stand-off between the two sides at the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh. “This is a fact. The reason China is inside our territory is important.”

The leader of Opposition in the Lower House said that “people think wars are fought between armies and their weapons”.
