On Sunday, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national general secretary Ram Madhav hit out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi over Ladakh stand-off. The Congress leader has been repeatedly levelling allegations against the Prime Minister on the India-China standoff.
This statement from Ram Madhav came after Rahul Gandhi alleged that the Centre was afraid of challenging the intentions of the Chinese Army in Ladakh. Speaking to reporters, Ram Madhav said that even after listening to PM Modi’s speech ‘if someone is commenting like this then it’s time for the nation to decide how many degrees of seriousness it has’.
“PM Modi gave a speech from the ramparts of the Red Fort yesterday and lauded the sacrifices by the Indian soldiers. After listening to that, if someone is commenting like this then it’s time for the nation to decide how many degrees of seriousness it has,” he said.
Madhav was in Patna to attend a programme on Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s second death anniversary.
