'What Is Happening On China Border...': Congress Hits Back At PM Modi's Katchatheevu Tweet, Calls It Poll Tactic

Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit questioned the timing of PM Modi's Katchatheevu tweet which comes ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.

The Congress party hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the issue of Katchatheevu islands as he shared a media report to assert that new facts reveal that the grand old party "callously" gave away Katchatheevu island to Sri Lanka. Modi said that the Congress has been working to weaken India's unity, integrity and interests. 

Hitting back at Modi, the Congress party raised the issue of China border along Arunachal Pradesh demanding a white paper report on the same. 

"...First, you should ask (PM) Modi what is happening on China border. How many square kilometres of area has been captured by China in Arunachala Pradesh, Ladakh," Tamil Nadu Congress President K Selvaperunthagai. 

"Ask him to give a white paper report. He should tell what his government has done in the last 10 years. They have done nothing...," he added. 

Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit questioned the timing of the PM's statement which comes ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.

"The problem with the PM is he makes statements without any references. If any agreement like this was made, we should know what it was... Secondly, what PM was doing for 9 years then," he said. 

"If he was in a position of this information, why was the PM quiet about it all this while? These are selective pieces of propaganda that they fake out. It is all because elections are going on in Tamil Nadu. All the surveys show the BJP will be badly smashed in Tamil Nadu...," he added.
