Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday urged the Narendra Modi-led government to “come clean” about the border conflict between India and China and not let speculation escalate amid the coronavirus health crisis.

“The government’s silence about the border situation with China is fueling massive speculation and uncertainty at a time of crisis,” Gandhi claimed in a tweet. “GOI [Government of India] must come clean and tell India exactly what’s happening.”

The Congress leader’s remarks came two days after the party had called the stand-off between the two nations a matter of “serious national concern”. On May 26, Gandhi had made a similar demand and said the government should make it clear as to what was happening on the border so that people can understand and form their own opinions.
