After the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi tweeted a video in which some "Ladakhis" alleged that China has entered into Indian territory, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra hit out at Gandhi and alleged that Gandhi "used INC office bearers to spread lies and demean the army."
Patra posted a video targeting Gandhi on Twitter and wrote, "SHAME ON YOU Rahul Gandhi. You use Congress workers to demean our ARMY by spreading lies and canards while Our Prime Minister was in the Front encouraging our Jawans ... You don’t deserve to be a leader!!"
Patra's video had "screenshots" of some social media profiles of the congress office bearers and he claimed that these profiles belonged to the same people who featured in Gandhi's video.
