China’s approach to India is like Russian approach to Ukraine, says Rahul Gandhi

The Hindu  

China is following the same principle with India as Russia has done with Ukraine, Congress leader and Lok Sabha member from Wayanad, Rahul Gandhi, said in a one-on-one conversation with actor-politician Kamal Haasan, who had participated in the Delhi leg of the Bharat Jodo Yatra. In the conversation, shared by Mr. Gandhi in his YouTube channel on Monday, the Congress leader claimed that the China-India border face-off can be linked to “a weak economy, a confused nation without any vision”. Mr. Gandhi said, “Essentially, what the Russians have done in Ukraine is that they have said we do not want Ukraine to have a strong relationship with the west and they have basically told the Ukrainians that if you will have a strong relationship with the west, we will alter your geography. “When Indians fight Indians, when the economy does not work, when there is joblessness, our external opponent can take advantage of this situation,” the Congress leader noted.
