Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday alleged that the Chinese had dared to enter India and kill our soldiers because the Narendra Modi government had weakened the nation with its "anti-national policies and actions", of which the farm laws were the latest example.

"China had realised that Modi had weakened India, and had taken advantage of this to take control of 1,200 kms of our land," said Rahul, asserting that the Prime Minister had broken the backbone of the countrywhose economic growth he claimed had plummeted from nine per cent under the Congress-led UPA to minus 24 per cent at present.
