PM Modi lacks courage to even name China: Rahul after document acknowledging Chinese intrusion goes missing
New Delhi/IBNS: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Thursday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi after a document acknowledging the Chinese intrusion into India's territory went missing from the official website of the Defence Ministry.
Rahul tweeted, "Forget standing up to China, India’s PM lacks the courage even to name them. Denying China is in our territory and removing documents from websites won’t change the facts."

The Defence Ministry had earlier acknowledged in a document the Chinese troops' intrusion into the Indian territory in several parts of eastern Ladakh.
Contradicting the Defence Ministry's document, which is now not available on the site, Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a meeting with all Chief Ministers of the country said no one had entered into the territory of the country of 1.3 billion people.
At least 20 Indian personnel were martyred at a clash which took place on Jun 15 at Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh.
Though Beijing has not put up any figure of the casualties on its side, unconfirmed reports said around 45 Chinese soldiers were killed in the clash.
