DELHI : Union minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar, criticised the Congress party on Wednesday for the 1962 China war, blaming the then political leadership led by former Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Defence Minister Krishna Menon.
He stated, “October 20 to November 21, 1962, will forever be etched as a dark and humiliating chapter in the history of Independent India. That was the time when thousands of Indians and numerous members of our armed forces paid with their lives for the delusional ‘Hindi-Chini bhai bhai’ policy followed by the then-political leadership of Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru and his Leftist Defence Minister, Krishna Menon.
“India bore the cost of this weak and delusional leadership, and our proud country endured global humiliation. It caused unforgivable damage to the morale of our armed forces, who, despite being ill-equipped, fought valiantly until the last bullet and even with bayonets and bare hands, causing heavy casualties to the enemies. Many heroes fought to protect India and sacrificed their lives.”
The Sino-Indian War, also known as the China–India War or the Indo-China War, was an armed conflict between China and India that took place from October 20 to November 21, 1962.
The primary cause of the conflict was the Himalayan border dispute. China asserted its ownership of the Aksai Chin region in Ladakh, Kashmir, and the Tawang area in Arunachal Pradesh. Expressing strong criticism towards the opposing party that was in power at the time, Rajeev Chandrasekhar emphasised that India would always remember and never forgive the consequences of this feeble and misguided leadership.

India lost 38,000 square kilometres of land in the Aksai Chin region to China during the 1962 conflict. “We will always #RememberAndNeverForget the devastating impact of weak leadership, which led to the sacrifices of our brave hearts and also resulted in India around 38,000 square kilometres of its land,” the Minister emphasised.
Criticising the Congress, Rajeev stated that India will not go through such circumstances again under PM Modi. He emphasised, “In the days to come, I will refresh memories about the cost that nations bear as a result of weak leaders. Never again shall India be put through this. This is PM @narendramodi ji’s #NewIndia. #NeverForgiveNeverForget.”
