Rahul Gandhi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday once again launched a scathing attack on the Prime Minister, calling him “Sur(r)ender Modi” instead of Narendra Modi and accused him of conceding Indian territory to the Chinese.

“Narendra Modi Is actually Surender Modi,” Gandhi said in a tweet.

He went a step ahead from his Saturday’s lash out when he had said that Modi has surrendered Indian territory to the Chinese aggression, a day after the Prime Minister asserted that Chinese troops did not intrude into Indian territory.

Gandhi has continued his verbal attack on Modi ever since 20 Indian soldiers were killed by Chinese PLA troops in Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh on June 15.

However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s office had clarified on Saturday and countered opposition’s attack, saying “attempts are being made in some quarters to give a mischievous interpretation” to Modi’s remarks at the All-Party Meeting held on Friday on the Galwan stand-off.

The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said, the PM specifically emphasized Indian forces now decisively counter any violations on LAC (unhe rokte hain, unhe tokte hain) in contrast to the past neglect of such challenges.
