China, Pakistan planning 'surprise' for India, country is vulnerable: Rahul Gandhi
China and Pakistan have come together, if there is any war, it will happen with both, so there will be a major loss for the country. India is now extremely vulnerable, Rahul Gandhi said.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who is on the Bharat Jodo Yatra, has said that China and Pakistan together are planning a surprise for India. The former Congress chief said this during a conversation with army veterans on YouTube. He said that if there is a war, then it will be against China and Pakistan both.
During his conversation with army veterans, Rahul Gandhi said, "China and Pakistan have come together, if there is any war, it will happen with both, so there will be a major loss for the country. India is now extremely vulnerable. I don't just have respect for you (Army) but also love and affection for you. You defend this nation. This nation would not exist without you."
Speaking further, the Gandhi scion said, "Earlier, we had two enemies, China and Pakistan, and our policy was to keep them separate. First, it was said that a two front war should not happen, then people said there is two and a half-front war going on, that is, Pakistan, China, and terrorism. Today there is one front, which is China and Pakistan, which are together. If the war occurs, it will affect both. They are working together not only militarily but also economically."
He continued further and said that India's economic system has slowed down since 2014 and the country has become extremely vulnerable as there is fighting, disturbance, confusion, and hatred. Slamming the government, he said that our mindset is still one of two and a half-front war and not of joint operability or cyber warfare.
Rahul Gandhi said that both China and Pakistan are planning a surprise for India, which is why he keeps repeating that the government cannot keep quiet.
Earlier on Saturday, Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP of spreading communal hatred across the country to divert the attention of people from real issues and use it as a "weapon" to destroy the poor, as his Bharat Jodo Yatra reached the national capital.
Addressing a rally outside the Red Fort, Gandhi said he did not witness violence or hatred anywhere in the country while walking hundreds of kilometres from Kanyakumari to Delhi and his Yatra was a true reflection of India, but he sees hatred being spread on television all the time at the behest of the powers controlling the media.
"Even dogs, cows, buffaloes, pigs entered the Yatra, but no one attacked them. There is no hatred, violence during the Yatra. If anyone fell, people picked them up in a second. This is real India," he noted.
The former Congress chief attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP, alleging they spent thousands of crores of rupees to destroy his image, but he has shown the truth to the country in just a month.
