Rahul Gandhi, commenting on January 19 for the first time on the WhatsApp chats of TV anchor Arnab Goswami linked to the 2019 Balakot air strike, said "giving official secrets to a journalist is a criminal act.” He targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi directly over the leak. Gandhi also said that India doesn't have a clear strategy like China to assert its dominance in the world and unless India sends out a clear message, Beijing won\'t stay quiet. Recalling the two recent incidents in Doklam and Ladakh where Indian and Chinese soldiers clashed, he said China will make the most out of India's shortcomings and the day will come soon when we will suffer damages. Rahul Gandhi pressed further with his party's backing of the protest by some farmers against the new farm laws as "designed to destroy agriculture". Taking aim at the centre, he said he's "not scared of Narendra Modi or anyone.”
