Rahul Gandhi targets PM Modi over Ladakh face-off, says 'What happened that China took away sacred land of Mother India

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday again targeted the Central government over the June clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers, and asked what had happened that China "took away" the sacred land of India.

"What had happened that China took away the sacred land of Mother India during Modi ji's tenure?" the Congress leader asked on Twitter (translated from Hindi). He also posed an article by a news website about the Galwan valley clash.

Over the past few weeks, the Gandhi scion has been repeatedly criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government over the border issue with China.

20 Indian soldiers had lost their lives in a violent face-off in the Galwan valley on June 15-16 when Chinese troops attempted to unilaterally change the status quo during the de-escalation.

India and China have been involved in talks to ease the ongoing border tensions since last month.
