NEW DELHI:
Congress party chief Mallikarjun Kharge has launched a scathing against Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Sino-Indian border issue. Kharge accused the prime minister of “sleeping” after taking “opium” while China entered Indian territory.
“Modi says ‘I have a 56-inch chest, I will not be scared’. If you are not afraid then why have you left a large part of our land for China? They are coming inside and you are sleeping. Have you taken sleeping pills? Have they taken opium from the fields of Rajasthan,” the Congress MP said.
