“ I am going to say truth; I don’t care if I have no political career at all after that” – Rahul Gandhi

In an interview, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi expresses his anxiety on India – China issues.  He says, “As an Indian, my number one priority, is the nation and its people.”

Here is the text of interview

Q: How do you react to people who say your questions to the PM on China, weaken India?

A: Now, it is pretty clear that the Chinese have entered our territory.

This disturbs me.

It makes frankly my blood boil. How can some other nation just come into our territory?

Now if you as a politician want me to keep quiet and lie to my people, when I’m absolutely convinced I see the satellite photos.

I speak to the ex-army people.

If you want me to lie that the Chinese have not entered this country I’m not gonna lie. I simply will not do it.

I don’t care if my whole career goes to hell. I’m not going to lie.

I think the people who are lying about Chinese entering our country are the people that are not nationalistic.

I think the people who are lying and who are saying the Chinese are not in India, they are the people who are not patriotic.

So frankly, I don’t care if it costs me politically.  I don’t care if I have no political career at all after that..  

But, I’m going to say the truth as far as Indian territory is concerned
