“IF NOT REMOTE-CONTROLLED, KHARGE SHOULD EXPEL RaGa”

New Delhi: A day after Rahul Gandhi said that Chinese soldiers are “beating up jawans in Arunachal Pradesh”, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders condemned his statement and demanded his expulsion from the Congress. BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said if Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge is not “remote-controlled”, he should expel Gandhi from the party, since his comments “belittle” India and break the morale of its armed forces. If Congress does not take action against Gandhi, it will mean his statement is reflective of the Congress’ mindset, Bhatia said. He further alleged that the party has become less of a political party and more of a den of antiIndia activities. Bhatia also said that “it is no longer the India of 1962 as its brave soldiers also have a strong political leadership under Modi”, adding that “not even an inch of Indian territory was captured by anyone” in the last eight years.
