A day after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led central government of bringing China and Pakistan closer in the Lok Sabha, former External Affairs Minister K Natwar Singh on Thursday said Rahul Gandhi's remarks were completely is not accurate. Natwar Singh said that I am surprised that no one on behalf of the government has risen to remind Rahul Gandhi that what he has said is not completely accurate. China and Pakistan have been close allies since the 1960s. It started during the time of his great grandfather (Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru).

 

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi seems to be surrounded by the speech given in the Lok Sabha a day earlier. Not only BJP MP, now many veterans including Natwar Singh, who was Foreign Minister in Congress rule, have taken his statement in the face. Natwar Singh said that the intimacy between China and Pakistan started during the time of Rahul Gandhi's great-grandfather (Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru).

 

Congress leader Kapil Sibal's elder brother, former diplomat Kanwal Sibal, also said that the China-Pakistan alliance started "long before" BJP came to power in India. Kanwal remarked that after the 1962 conflict, China-Pakistan saw an opportunity to strengthen its ties. Everyone knows that the two have cooperated illegally in the nuclear field.

 

Rahul Gandhi made these remarks while speaking in the Lower House on Wednesday, when he replied to a debate on President Ram Nath Kovind's January 31 address in Parliament. "China has a very clear vision of what they want to do," he said. The single biggest strategic goal of India's foreign policy has been to keep Pakistan and China separate. What you have done is you have brought them together.

 

The former Congress president also warned the government not to be under any kind of confusion. He said, don't underestimate the power that is standing in front of you. You have brought Pakistan and China together. This is the single biggest crime you can commit against the people of India. It is worth noting that this statement of Rahul Gandhi has received a furious response from BJP leaders, while the United States also replied that it will not support such comments.
