NEW DELHI: In an embarrassment for Congress, its leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi on Tuesday said that people should not fall for Chinese propaganda. This came even as Congress slammed the government over a purported video of Chinese troops hoisting a flag allegedly in Galwan Valley, saying by remaining silent the Centre is harming the Army’s morale.
Singhvi said, “Would urge the Indian media not to take the CCP and Global Times propaganda machinery seriously. They are nothing but an absolute joke especially in the digital age, a psy ops that can be easily busted by few minutes of Google search.”
But his own party on Monday attacked the government on the same report and former Congress president Rahul Gandhi too criticised the government.
Targeting the PM, Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinet said, “In the same valley where our soldiers were martyred, China hoisted its flag and sang its national anthem on January 1. So, why are you silent? Why are you breaking the morale of our Army? Why are you not giving any reply to China?”
“Your silence on what is happening in China and on our borders is not only condemnable but also a matter of concern. China is sitting on the border and Pakistan also dances on the strength of China,” she said. agencies
