Calling Prime Minister Modi is a “coward”, Rahul Gandhi said, “the prime minister a coward says that no one has taken over our land.” Today, there is only one country in the world whose land has been taken over by another country. India is the only country where another country entered and took 1200 square km. And PM calls himself a “deshbhakt” and the whole country knows that China’s forces are within our territory, what kind of patriot is he? If we were in power, we would have fired China in less than 15 minutes. “
“I guarantee you that when our government was there, China did not have enough power to take one step in our country. There is only one nation in the whole world whose land has been usurped and that is India and they call themselves patriots, “he added.
Earlier on Tuesday, Rahul Gandhi offered prayers at Geeta Sthali in Kurukshetra.
