Ranchi, May 24: BJP MP Nishikant Dubey launched a scathing attack on the Congress party on Saturday, accusing it of compromising India’s territorial integrity by surrendering 828 square kilometers of the Rann of Kutch to Pakistan in 1968—despite India’s triumph in the 1965 war.

Taking to social media, Dubey described the episode as “very painful,” alleging that Indira Gandhi, then Prime Minister, took the matter to an international tribunal under the United Nations, where India was represented by Yugoslav diplomat Ales Bebler. He claimed that the decision to accept arbitration led to India losing land to Pakistan.

Referring to a document, Dubey said the move was widely opposed in Parliament but Indira Gandhi went ahead with it regardless. He sarcastically referred to her as the “Iron Lady” who, in his view, gave away Indian territory out of fear.

“Today’s story is very painful. @INCIndia . After winning the 1965 war, the party gave away 828 sq km of Rann of Kutch in Gujarat to Pakistan in 1968. We brought the India-Pakistan issue to the international forum, appointed Yugoslavia’s lawyer Ali Babar as mediator. The entire parliament opposed it, but Indira Gandhi was the Iron Lady; she auctioned our share out of fear. This is the truth of the Iron Lady. Congress’s hand is always with Pakistan,” Dubey posted on X.
