In the video, the father of a soldier who was injured in the cross-LAC clash on June 15 is seen appealing to Gandhi to not politicise the border tensions.

Earlier Gandhi alleged that PM Modi had ceded Indian territory to China in Ladakh’s Galwan Valley. His allegation came a day after PM Modi, at the all-party meet stated neither has anyone intruded into our territory, nor anyone is present in our territory nor any military post has been captured.

Taking to Twitter Rahul posed two question to PM Modi over his remark. “PM has surrendered Indian territory to Chinese aggression.” “If the land was Chinese: 1. Why were our soldiers killed? 2. Where were they killed?” he tweeted.
