NEW DELHI: After Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma triggered a controversy by taking a dig at Congress’s Rahul Gandhi by saying that the book he was showing at every rally looked like the Chinese constitution as it had a red cover, Congress sent him a copy of the pocketbook version of the Indian Constitution and said govts should be run by “constitutionalism and not majoritarianism”.
After writing to Sarma, chairman of Congress’s media and publicity department Pawan Khera issued a statement claiming that since June 2020, when PM Modi “gave China a clean chit for its actions in Ladakh”, people have been asking why BJP was so unwilling to stand up to China. “Are the close links between BJP and Communist Party of China behind this,” he asked. He said BJP members had met Communist Party of China officials at least 12 times since 2008, most of them in China.
Attacking Rahul, Sarma had said on X, “The original copy of the Constitution of India has a blue cover. The original Chinese constitution has a red cover. Does Rahul carry a Chinese constitution? We will need to verify.”
Khera wrote to Sarma on Monday and said, “This comparison is not only unfounded but also deeply disrespectful to the sacrifices made by our brave soldiers, especially those who lost their lives in the Galwan Valley clash. June 19, 2020, the day the prime minister gave a clean chit to China will be remembered as a dark chapter in our history.”
