00:00 Hello everyone this is Aminah Ansari welcome to SW News English
00:03 Rahul Gandhi's recent visit to Lagdad has sparked heated debate between Congress Party
00:08 and BJP. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who is on visit to Lagdad, stated that China has
00:15 taken away people's land in the area. He said people have said that China's army has entered
00:21 the area and their grazing land was taken away but the PM said that not an inch of the
00:27 land was taken away. But this is not true. You can ask anyone here. Rahul Gandhi also
00:33 said that the people of Lagdad are not happy with the status given to them. There were
00:38 so many complaints from the people of Lagdad. They are not happy with the status that has
00:43 been given to them. They want representation and there is a problem of unemployment. People
00:49 are saying that the state should not be run by bureaucracy but the state must be run by
00:54 the voice of people, said Rahul Gandhi in Lagdad. Rahul Gandhi was also seen riding
01:00 a bike in Lagdad. He also paid tribute to his father and former PM Rajiv Gandhi on his
01:06 birth anniversary in Lagdad. Taking a swipe at Rahul Gandhi, BJP members have flamed Gandhi
01:12 over his statement. BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said, "I want to ask him if he remembers
01:18 how much of India's land was captured by China before and after the 1962 war. He said that
01:25 Gandhi is questioning the sacrifice of our soldiers in Galwan. Whatever he has said about
01:31 Lagdad is absolutely wrong. I condemn his entire statement on behalf of the BJP. Rahul
01:37 Gandhi ji, you are questioning our soldiers, bravery and sacrifice in Galwan. Why are you
01:43 defaming India? Why are you becoming China's propaganda machinery?" Ravi Shankar asked.
01:50 Union Minister Kiran Dejju also took an indirect jai by Rahul Gandhi, complimenting the Congress
01:56 leader for promoting the excellent roads built in the Himalayan region under PM Narendra
02:02 Modi's leadership. BJP leader Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur has called Rahul Gandhi a Chinese
02:07 advocate and has called Rahul's statement unethical. The Education Minister Dharmendra
02:13 Pradhan stated that it was good to see Rahul Gandhi enjoying carefree bike racing on the
02:18 glittering road of Lagdad built by Modi government. He further challenged Rahul Gandhi to share
02:24 any picture before 2014 where he is seen roaming so carefree in Lagdad. Congress spokesperson
02:30 Pawan Khaira, in response to BJP leader, has dared them to disclose the tender detail of
02:36 the road on which Rahul Gandhi was seen riding a bike and said Hindi films were shot in Lagdad
02:41 before 2014 had shown the excellent road. Khaira called the statement childish and further
02:48 said that the BJP wants to take credit for everything.
02:50 Now, as a citizen, I have a very simple point. I am living in 21st century India and I have
02:56 never seen Nehru or Rajiv Gandhi or I don't know how Nehru or Rajiv Gandhi functioned.
03:02 I am in a time where I have seen Mr. Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister of our country
03:07 for the past 10 years. I have a very simple question. Why do all our present discussions
03:13 and conclusions go back to Nehru or Rajiv Gandhi? Is our PM or the current BJP government
03:19 incapable of answering directly so they keep bringing Nehru or Rajiv Gandhi back into the
03:24 conversation?
