LEH: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who is on a visit to Ladakh, reiterated that "China has taken away people's land in the area".

He said, "Here, the concern is, of course, China has taken away the land...people have said that China's army has entered the area and their grazing land was taken away but PM said that not an inch of land was taken away, but this is not true, you can ask anyone here."

India and China are locked in a lingering border standoff in eastern Ladakh for the past three years. Ties between the two neighbours soured following a deadly clash in Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh in June 2020.
