No, China hasn’t constructed a village on Indian soil inside a yr as alleged by Congress. The territory was ‘ceded’ to China in 1959

Over the previous few years, the Indian National Congress in its zeal to discredit the Narendra Modi authorities, has typically unfold white lies which has been propagated by none aside from occasion scion Rahul Gandhi himself. Fresh from his trip, Rahul Gandhi claimed that China has constructed a village in Arunachal Pradesh, seems, the realm below scrutiny the place a village has propped up, has been below Chinese occupation since 1959 – through the heydays of Jawaharlal Nehru.Seemingly devoid of details and but once more displaying his naivety, Congress scion Rahul Gandhi attacked the Central authorities over the alleged development of a village by the Chinese in Arunachal Pradesh ‘within a year’. While there is no such thing as a doubt that the realm below scrutiny belongs to India, nonetheless, China has been regularly occupying the realm ever since 1959 – a reality which Rahul Gandhi is seemingly oblivious of.“Those locations you are referring to have been under Chinese occupation since very-very long Congress regime in India. How can a national leader is ignorant and unaware of sensitive facts?” mentioned Kiren Rijiju, BJP Lok Sabha MP from Arunachal West.The Indian Express quoted its sources within the Army saying that the “model village” in query, built-in Arunachal’s Upper Subansiri district, “has been in adverse occupation since 1959.” The place was earlier held by the Assam Rifles earlier than being overrun by the Chinese in 1959 in what is called the Longju incident and the latter has maintained its place ever since.“The real situation is that they are working on their side, we are working on our side,” reported the Indian Express quoting its sources. They added, “This (the incident) has been monitored and known for a long time, and has not caught the forces by alarm.”Earlier this week, the Ministry of External Affairs, issued a press release, which said, “We have seen recent reports on China undertaking construction work along with the border areas with India. China has undertaken such infrastructure construction activity in the past several years. In response, our Government too has stepped up border infrastructure including the construction of roads, bridges etc, which has provided much-needed connectivity to the local population along the border.”While there is no such thing as a denying that China’s People’s Liberation Army has certainly constructed a village on the occupied land, the truth that Rahul Gandhi conveniently omitted the truth that the realm is managed by China since 1959 speaks volumes about his political aptitude and maturity.
