Rahul, during a tour to Ladakh last month as continuation of his ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’, had said that after interaction with locals living in border areas, he had found out that Indian land had been occupied by the Chinese army.
“Not even a square inch of land has been occupied by China, and the Indian Army is prepared to give a befitting reply to anyone who engages in any misadventure,” Mishra said during the launch ceremony of North-Tech Symposium organised by Northern Command of the Army and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Jammu. When questioned about Rahul’s claims over the issue, Mishra said he could not comment on anybody’s statement.
