China is infiltrating our borders but PM Modi is silent: Adhir Ranjan Choudhary after row over Katchatheevu

Murshidabad (West Bengal) [India], April 2 : After Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the Congress of not protecting the country's land while addressing a rally in Rudrapur, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Choudhary hit out at PM Modi and alleged that China is infiltrating the borders from Ladakh to Arunachal Pradesh but PM Modi is silent on the issue.
Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Choudhary said, "Trade with China is increasing every day. While China is demanding to take over what is a part of our country. China is infiltrating our borders from Ladakh to Arunachal but Prime Minister Modi is maintaining silence."
He further alleged that till now PM Modi has not accepted his mistake on the Galwan issue.
He further said, "PM Modi had said that no one has entered the territory. If anyone has given the clean certificate to China on boundary issue then it is PM Modi. 2000 sq km of our land has been occupied by China. Our soldiers are competent but the political leaders are frightened to take on China.
Earlier, PM Modi, who kicked off BJP's poll campaign in Uttarakhand today by addressing a rally in Rudrapur which is part of the Nainital-Udham Singh Nagar Lok Sabha constituency alleged the Congress, "can never protect the country's land."
"There was an island under the sea in Tamil Nadu, but the Congress gave it to Sri Lanka and now when our fishermen venture into that area by mistake, they are arrested. Can this Congress ever protect our land when it gave our Katchatheevu to another country," the PM said.
Coming down heavily over Congress, he further said that the party has given poll ticket to its leader who asked to divide the country into north and south regions, instead of punishing him.
"Congress could not develop the border villages of the country and termed the last villages, but the BJP called those villages the first ones and developed them. If the Congress government had remained in power till date, our former soldiers would have not got 'one rank one pension'," the prime minister alleged.
