China talks wasteful: Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi, April 19

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today accused the Centre of jeopardising India’s national security, and termed its talks with China as “wasteful”.

“Chinese occupation of Gogra-Hot Springs and Depsang plains is a threat to India’s strategic interests, including the DBO airstrip,” he said on Twitter. “National security jeopardised by GOI’s wasteful talks. Our nation deserves better,” he said.

His remarks come after reports that China has refused to pull back its troops from Hot Springs, Gogra and Depsang in eastern Ladakh.

The Congress on Sunday asked the Centre to explain why disengagement talks with China had “not yielded results” at other friction points in eastern Ladakh. — PTI
