Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala also alleged that the Modi government is relying on Chinese imports even though it is "occupying our territory" and is "abducting our citizens".

"Import of Chinese goods surpasses USD100 Billion = Rs 7,500,000,000,000 (Rs 7.50 lakh crore). Banning Chinese apps and claiming fake credit is one thing. Modi Government relying on Chinese imports as China occupies our territory in Depsang-Gogra Hot Springs and abducts our citizens is truth," Surjewala tweeted.
