Salient Points of Bharatiya Janata Party National Spokesperson Shri Gaurav Bhatia’s Press Conference

Mani Shankar Aiyar's statement referring to the India-China war as an 'alleged' attack by China is not only an affront to India's integrity but also an insult to every soldier who sacrificed their lives for the nation.

In the 1962 India-China war, 1,400 Indian soldiers were martyred safeguarding the nation, over 1,047 soldiers were badly wounded, more than 1,700 soldiers went missing, and 4,000 soldiers became prisoners of war. Yet, Mani Shankar Aiyar dismisses it as an 'alleged' war.
***************

The anti-national ideology behind Mani Shankar Aiyar's treasonous statement is influenced by Rahul Gandhi, who was dining with Chinese envoys during the Doklam standoff.

***************

Congress realizing its impending defeat, has resorted to desperate measures. Mani Shankar Aiyar, who previously advocated for Pakistan's intervention to remove Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji from power, is now purportedly seeking assistance from China.
***************

Rahul Gandhi, who criticized Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, signed a party-to-party MoU with China in 2008. He is now giving a clean chit to China, which reportedly occupied 43,000 square kilometers of Indian land during the time of Jawaharlal Nehru.

***************

Congress leaders, who are praising enemy countries at the behest of Rahul Gandhi, should refrain from singing China's praises and instead confront China with the reality it faces.
***************

Besides the MoU, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi allegedly received bribes from China through the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation, yet they have not disclosed any details to the public.

Bhartiya Janata Party National Spokesperson Shri Gaurav Bhatia convened a press conference at the party's central office on Wednesday. Shri Bhatia strongly criticized the statement made by Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar, terming the India-China war as an “alleged” attack by China, and posed questions to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi.

Shri Bhatia stated that while Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has presented his report card of 10 years, earning the public's utmost trust and making it clear that the NDA would win '400 Paar' seats on June 4th, Congress leaders made an anti-national and highly offensive remark against the army. Recently, Mani Shankar Aiyar, an important figure in Congress, released a statement in which he referred to the 1962 China invasion of India as “alleged.” This is not just a normal statement or a political stunt, nor is it an expression of love for China; it is a wound on India’s integrity. The statement insults those who were martyred on the battlefield. In the 1962 Indo-China war, 1,400 Indian soldiers were martyred safeguarding the nation, over 1,047 soldiers were badly wounded, more than 1,700 soldiers went missing, and 4,000 soldiers became prisoners of war. Yet, Mani Shankar Aiyar dismisses it as an ‘alleged’ war.

BJP National Spokesperson Shri Bhatia mentioned that while the statement was made by Mani Shankar Aiyar, the ideology behind it stems from Rahul Gandhi, who was eating ‘noodles’ with Chinese officials during the Doklam standoff. This statement came just days after Aiyar’s remark about Pakistan's atomic bomb. The nation holds great respect for the Indian Army, as it represents the self-respect of every Indian. Yet, Congress is making statements supporting both enemy nations during elections. Mani Shankar Aiyar had previously suggested that to defeat Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, we should seek help from Pakistan. Now he’s seeking help from China. As the country gears up for the 7th phase of elections, the public will reject the 'Anti-India' rhetoric of those who signal to Pakistan and China.

Shri Bhatia showcased a picture of Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi signing an MoU with China in 2008, stating that the details of the meeting and the MoU remain undisclosed even after 16 years. Rahul Gandhi has been quoted as saying that he can betray India but cannot go against China. Meanwhile, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has proven that India can compete with China, and the Indian army has given a fitting reply to China. However, Rahul Gandhi is quoted as saying, "Bhartiya Sena, Chini Sena Se Pit Gayi." The Indian Army is renowned as the most brave and chivalric army in the world and has never been, is not, and will never be defeated. Congress leaders Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi remained silent on the MoU and the statement of Mani Shankar Aiyar. Rather than praising China, Rahul Gandhi should work to expose its reality and stand firmly with India.

BJP National Spokesperson Shri Gaurav Bhatia mentioned that besides the MoU, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi also allegedly received bribes from China through the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation, yet they have not disclosed any details to the public. The Congress must answer whether their luxurious lifestyle is a result of bribes from China. Furthermore, Congress has resorted to abusing Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji while giving a clean chit to Congress leaders who allegedly allowed over 43,000 square kilometers of land in India to be occupied by China during Jawaharlal Nehru's governance. India rightfully claims every inch of its land, yet Mani Shankar Aiyar is seemingly giving a "clean chit" to China. The pertinent question arises: How are Rahul Gandhi and Congress permitting leaders like Mani Shankar Aiyar to demoralize our brave soldiers?
