China “allegedly” invaded India in 1962
Pakistan and China-loving Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar’s anti-national statement
New Delhi – Former Union Minister and Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar has sparked controversy by referring to China’s 1962 attack on India as an “alleged invasion.” When questioned by the attendees, Aiyar promptly expressed regret over his remark. He was speaking at the launch of the book “Nehru’s First Recruits” at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club. A video of this statement has gone viral on social media, drawing criticism from the BJP.
In response, Amit Malviya of the BJP’s Information and Technology Department posted on ‘X’, stating that Nehru wasted the opportunity for India to become a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council because of China. He also accused Rahul Gandhi of secretly signing MoUs with China, the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation of accepting funds from the Chinese embassy, and Congress of opening India’s market to Chinese enterprises. Malviya alleged that Congress leaders are now trying to erase the history of China’s attack, highlighting that China has illegally occupied 38,000 square kilometres of India’s territory.
