External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar on Wednesday hit back at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on China- Pakistan issue. In his tweet he said that "Perhaps, some history lessons are in order: -In 1963, Pakistan illegally handed over the Shaksgam valley to China. -China built the Karakoram highway through PoK in the 1970s.”
Rahul Gandhi alleged in Lok Sabha that it is this Government which brought Pakistan and China together.Perhaps, some history lessons are in order:

-In 1963,Pakistan illegally handed over the Shaksgam valley to China.
-China built the Karakoram highway through PoK in the 1970s.
He also attacked Gandhi's claim that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government could not arrange a foreign guest for Republic Day, reminding him of the COVID-19 situation in the country. Taking to Twitter, EAM Jaishankar clarified that the five central Asian presidents who were to attend the January 26 parade, had already held a high-level interaction with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and asked if Rahul Gandhi 'missed' that as well.
In Lok Sabha, @RahulGandhi said we could not get a foreign guest for Republic Day. Those who live in India know we were in the midst of a corona wave.

The 5 Central Asian Presidents, who were to come, did hold a virtual summit on Jan 27. Did Rahul Gandhi miss that as well?
Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi called Rahul “confused” and “mindless”. “He said India is not a country. He said China’s vision is very clear. Have you come here to support China? Tibet problem is because of Congress only,” the minister told reporters. Joshi said former President late Pranab Mukherjee had in his memoir “written how Congress committed blunders by gifting territories to Pakistan and China and is responsible for India ceding crucial territories to both these countries”. Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar said the Congress leader had “Dunning-Kruger” effect, a type of cognitive bias in which people believe they are more capable than they really are. In a tweet he also criticised Rahul Gandhi. Law Minister Kiren Rijiju said the Congress MP should issue an unconditional apology for his remarks on the judiciary and Election Commission.
