Overview

  • Rahul Gandhi claims China's occupation of 4,000 square kilometers of Indian territory reflects the Modi government's failure to safeguard national interests.
  • He criticizes the celebration of 75 years of India-China diplomatic ties, calling it inappropriate given the unresolved border dispute and the 2020 Galwan Valley clash.
  • Gandhi warns the US's 27% reciprocal tariff on Indian goods will devastate key industries such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and automobiles.
  • The BJP rejects Gandhi's allegations, asserting that no Indian territory has been lost under its governance and highlighting its record on national security.
  • The US justifies the tariffs as a response to India's high import duties, while the Indian government states it is evaluating the economic implications.
