Why is China allowed to justify murder of 20 unarmed jawans in our territory? asks Rahul Gandhi

Congress MP and former Party President Rahul Gandhi have raised concerns regarding the press release done by the Foreign Ministry of People's Republic of China. In that he has raised, that "national interest is paramount. GOI's duty is to protect it".

Rahul Gandhi also raised three other questions:

1. Why has Status Quo Ante not been insisted on?
2. Why is China allowed to justify the murder of 20 unarmed jawans in our territory?
