Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday posted another video attacking the BJP on the LAC standoff and saying that hiding the truth about the Chinese incursions was anti-national.

“The Chinese have occupied the Indian land. Hiding the truth and allowing them to take it is anti-national. Bringing it to people’s attention is patriotic,” Gandhi said posting his video where he raises some questions on the matter.

Rahul Gandhi also says that it is pretty clear that the Chinese have entered our territory adding: “This disturbs me. It makes frankly my blood boil. How can some other nation just come into our territory?”

He says: “If you, as a politician, want me to keep quiet and lie to my people when I’m absolutely convinced as I have seen the satellite photos. I speak to the ex-army people. If you want me to lie that the Chinese have not entered this country I’m not going to lie. I simply will not do it.”

Rahul Gandhi added that he didn’t care if his whole career went to hell but he was not going to lie.

“I think the people who are lying about the Chinese entering our country are the people that are not nationalistic. I think the people who are lying and who are saying the Chinese are not in India, they are the people who are not patriotic. So frankly, I don’t care if it costs me politically. I don’t care if I have no political career at all after that,” Gandhi said, adding that noting that he was going to say the truth as far as Indian territory was concerned.
