Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Thursday raised concerns in the Lok Sabha over the situation on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and the recent reciprocal tariffs imposed by the United States on Indian goods. He criticized the government for a lack of transparency regarding border issues with China and questioned its response to the tariff move by the US.
"There should be status quo, and we should get our land back," Gandhi asserted, emphasizing the need for India to reclaim territory reportedly occupied by China. He also alleged that crucial information about diplomatic exchanges between India and China was not being shared with the public. "It has also come to my knowledge that the Prime Minister and President have written to the Chinese. We are finding this out not from our own people but from the Chinese ambassador who is telling this," he stated.
Shifting focus to the economic front, Gandhi expressed concerns over the US decision to impose reciprocal tariffs on Indian exports. "On the other side, our ally has decided to levy tariffs on us. This will completely devastate us," he warned, stressing the potential economic repercussions.
He further pressed the government for answers: "What is Govt of India doing about our land and what will you do on the issue of tariffs?"
