Rahul Gandhi's 'Chinese Tanks' Claim Sparks Lok Sabha Uproar; Rajnath, Shah Object
- •Rahul Gandhi claimed in Lok Sabha that Chinese tanks entered India, citing a book by former Army Chief Manoj Mukund Naravane.
- •Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and Home Minister Amit Shah strongly objected, stating no such book has been published and Gandhi was misleading the House.
- •A heated debate ensued between ruling and opposition parties, with the Speaker repeatedly interrupting Rahul Gandhi.
- •The book in question, 'Four Stars of Destiny' by General Naravane, is currently under review by the Ministry of Defense and has not yet been published.
- •General Naravane, Army Chief from 2019-2022, was at the helm during the 2020 Ladakh conflict with China.
