On Saturday, Foreign Minister S Jaishankar claimed that the land that opposition leaders say has been occupied by China ‘was in fact occupied in 1962’. His statement was made in a reference to the war when Jawaharlal Nehru was prime minister. He also took a swipe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who recently spoke about an official report on loss of territory in Ladakh.
