Bharatiya Janata Party president (BJP) chief JP Nadda launched scathing attack at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of trying to “divide the nation” and “demoralise” the armed forces in such trying times when the morale of security forces need to be boosted.

J P Nadda asked on Tuesday if it was the “effect” of the MoU the Congress had signed with the Communist Party of China.

First, Congress signs MoU with Chinese Communist Party.

Then, Congress surrenders land to China.

During Doklam issue, Rahul Gandhi secretly goes to Chinese embassy.

During crucial situations, Rahul Gandhi tries to divide the nation & demoralise armed forces.

“First, Congress signs MoU with the Chinese Communist Party. Then, Congress surrenders land to China. During Doklam issue, Rahul Gandhi secretly goes to the Chinese embassy. During crucial situations, Rahul Gandhi tries to divide the nation and demoralise armed forces. Effects of MoU?” Nadda said in a tweet.

The two parties had signed a memorandum of understanding in 2008 to facilitate high-level exchange between them and consult each other over important regional and international issues.

In 2008, Rahul Gandhi, then a Congress general secretary, and Xi Jinping, then a senior functionary of his party and now China”s president, had signed the MoU.

The BJP has cited this to attack the Congress as the opposition party has become increasingly aggressive against the Narendra Modi government over its handling of the border standoff with China.
