No problem with political criticism but shouldn't disrespect our jawans: Jaishankar hits out at Rahul Gandhi

Firstpost  

EAM Dr S Jaishankar slammed Congress MP Rahul Gandhi for his comment on the clash between Indian and Chinese troops in Tawang district of Arunachal Pradesh on 9 December, saying the word ‘pitai’ should not be used for Indian soldiers New Delhi: External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar gave a fitting reply to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi for his comment on the clash between Indian and Chinese troops in Tawang district of Arunachal Pradesh on 9 December, saying the word “pitai” should not be used for Indian soldiers. The word ‘pitai’ should not be used for our jawans.” Addressing a press conference in Rajasthan’s Jaipur last week, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi claimed that China is preparing for “a war” and accused the Central government of trying to “ignore” and downplay the threat, saying it is “asleep” and not ready to accept the situation. Rahul Gandhi even claimed that the Indian soldiers in Arunachal Pradesh are being “beaten up” by the Chinese troops. “If we were indifferent to China then who sent the Indian Army to the border,” asked Jaishankar in the House before the Opposition leaders who have been creating ruckus over the 9 December 9 clash between the Indian and Chinese troops along the Line of Actual Control followed by last week’s series of adjournments and disruptions in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
