On Wednesday, Congress leader and MP Rahul Gandhi accused the Prime Minister of “bringing China and Pakistan” together and making a “huge strategic mistake” in Jammu and Kashmir, NDTV reported.
Mr. Gandhi said that the country has been surrounded by adversaries on all sides and is isolated in the region.
“The strategic goal of India should have been to keep China and Pakistan separate. But what you have done is to bring them together. Do not underestimate what we are facing. This is a serious threat to India,” he said, adding that we made a “huge strategic mistake” in Jammu and Kashmir, referring to the abrogation of the region’s semi-autonomous status granted by Article 370 and 35-A.
Gandhi also said that India didn’t have a guest for Republic Day this year because the country is “completely isolated and surrounded.”
“The Chinese have a very clear idea of what they are doing, look at the weapons they are buying and who they are talking to,” he said.
Not just external threats, Mr. Gandhi also said that the country has been “weakened” and “our institutions are under attack”.
