Reacting to China's 'standard map', Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been lying to the nation for years over the land conflict between India and China in Ladakh and further demanded a statement from him.

India issued a strongly-worded statement rejecting claims made by China in its 2023 edition of the so-called "standard map " that continued to show Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai Chin as regions belonging to China. While leaving for Karnataka, Rahul Gandhi told reporters that the PM should give a statement as it is a 'very serious issue'. 

"I have been saying for years that what the PM said, that not one inch of land was lost in Ladakh, is a lie. The entire Ladakh knows that China has transgressed. This map issue is very serious. They have taken away the land. PM should say something about it," he said.
