New Delhi: Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday attacked External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj over her statement in Parliament on the Doklam standoff with China.
"Amazing how a lady like Sushma ji has buckled and prostrated herself in front of Chinese power. Absolute subservience to the leader means our brave jawan has been betrayed on the border," Gandhi tweeted.

Swaraj had clarified in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday that the India-China face-off in Doklam was resolved through "diplomatic maturity without losing any ground" and status quo has been maintained.

Smt. Sushma Swaraj’s statement on #Doklam is covered with a ‘sheet of misleading opaqueness’ & fails to provide the larger picture of Chinese presence in S Doklam.As China stares at the ‘Siliguri Corridor’ – ‘Gateway to India’s NE’, Modi Govt nearly ducks the Doklam question! pic.twitter.com/CVHH42Fsxs?

The debate over Doklam rekindled after US Congresswomen Ann Wagner posed a question, “Although both countries back down, China has quietly resumed its activities in Doklam and neither Bhutan nor India has sought to dissuade it. China's activities in the Himalayas remind me of its south China Sea policies. How should our failure to respond to the militarisation of the South China Sea inform the international response to these Himalayan border disputes?"
