Sam Pitroda's 'China not our enemy' remarks sparks outrage, BJP reacts
PTC News Desk: Indian Overseas Congress Chairman is once again surrounded by controversy after his remarks over India's diplomatic ties with China sparked row. Sam Pitroda on Monday said that he doesn't see any threat from China and the issue is blown out of proportion.
“I don’t understand the threat from China. I think this issue is often blown out of proportion because the US has a tendency to define an enemy."
“I believe the time has come for all nations to collaborate, not confront. Our approach has been confrontational from the very beginning, and this attitude creates enemies, which in turn garners support within the country," he further said.
“We need to change this mindset and stop assuming that China is the enemy from day one. It’s unfair, not just to China, but to everyone," Pitroda said.
Pitroda's remarks came when he was asked that whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump would be able to control the threats from China.
While reacting to the Congress leader's remarks, BJP spokesperson Tuhin Sinha took to his social media platform X and said “Those who ceded away 40000 square km of our land to China, still see no threat from the Dragon."
“No wonder Rahul Gandhi is in awe of China and was rooting for BRI one day before the IMEEC was announced the crux of Cong party’s obsessive fascination for China, lies hidden in the mysterious 2008 Cong-CCP MOU," his further said.
