“Union government was fast asleep and price was paid by our martyred Jawans”: Rahul Gandhi on Ladakh clash

Congress MP from Wayanad has came down heavily against the Narendra Modi led NDA government  over the face-off between the Indian and Chinese soldiers in which 20 Indian soldiers were killed.

“It’s now crystal clear that: 1. The Chinese attack in Galwan was pre-planned; 2. GOI was fast asleep and denied the problem; 3. The price was paid by our martyred Jawans,” Gandhi tweeted.

Rahul Gandhi also attached a news report with his tweet in which Union minister Shripad Naik said that the June 15 attack was “pre-planned by China”. He had made the remarks on Wednesday and said that Indian forces will give a befitting reply.

It’s now crystal clear that:

1. The Chinese attack in Galwan was pre-planned.

2. GOI was fast asleep and denied the problem.

3. The price was paid by our martyred Jawans.https://t.co/ZZdk19DHcG

Gandhi had attacked the government on Thursday too, asking whether the Indian soldiers were sent to the site of the clash in Ladakh’s Galwan Valley “unarmed”.

“China has committed a crime by killing India’s unarmed soldiers. I want to know who sent these unarmed soldiers in the harm’s way and why. Who is responsible?” Gandhi had asked in an 18-second video clip posted by him on Twitter.
