Why did defence ministry take down report on Chinese intrusions: Congress

"The monthly report of the Defence ministry which was withdrawn clearly says that Chinese Army had intruded into Indian territory," Congress spokesman Ajay Maken said

The Congress on Thursday asked the government why a Defence ministry report mentioning Chinese 'transgressions' in eastern Ladakh in May was taken down with party leader Rahul Gandhi alleging that removal of the document from websites would not change facts.

The document, which was uploaded on the Defence ministry's website, was removed on Thursday morning following publication of a media report based on it.

"Forget standing up to China, India's PM lacks the courage even to name them. Denying China is in our territory and removing documents from websites won't change the facts," Gandhi tweeted while tagging the news report
