Rahul Gandhi 'confused',wants India to surrender before China: BJP

The BJP on Tuesday derided Rahul Gandhi for being "perpetually confused" and accused the Congress leader of wanting India to surrender before China following his recent remarks on the border tensions. India cannot be understood only by travelling across the country, one needs to understand Indianness, BJP Spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said while addressing a press conference in New Delhi. "Discovery of India has been going on for four generations (of Gandhi's family)," Trivedi said in an apparent reference to Jawaharlal Nehru's 'Discovery of India'.

राहुल जी, भारत में घूमने से नहीं...भारत को समझने से भारतीयता को समझा जा सकता है।

आपकी चार पीढ़ियों से 'Discovery of India' ही चल रही है।

Trivedi took a dig at Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra and said the Congress leader had become a victim of confusion during his travels. Trivedi claimed that Gandhi was blinded by hatred for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and asked him to name four to five countries that were standing with China while the "world is standing with India". He cited Chinese thinker Hu Shih and his observation that "India conquered and dominated China culturally for 20 centuries without ever having to send a single soldier across her border".
