New Delhi: An Indian Congress leader from the State of Gujarat became a target of netizens’ lampooning after suggesting that now India should launch an air strike on China, accusing Beijing of being behind the crash of an An-32 plane, which had earlier gone missing for days near China’s border.
In a tweet which has since been deleted, Hardik Patel, the Gujarat Congress leader, wrote in Hindi: “Down with China! We should ask China to return our An-32 aircraft and our Air Force men in the jet. Mr. Modi, please do not worry, we all are with you. Our country should launch a surgical strike on China.”
Indian Minister for youth affairs and sports Kiren Rijiju, a Member of Parliament representing the state of Arunachal Pradesh, also opted to chide the Gujarat leader in Hindi: “You are a prominent leader of the Congress party; do you even know in whose territory Arunachal Pradesh falls?”View image on Twitter

I think Hardik Patel read the geography book of China in school.
Someone should teach him the geography of India as he doesn’t know that Arunachal Pradesh is an Indian state.@HardikPatel_#HardikPandya

On 3 June, the An-32 aircraft which was headed for a remote base in the North Eastern Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh after taking off from the Jorhat Air Base, Assam State, went off the radar at 12:25 pm local time.
The wreckage of aircraft, which had 13 people on-board, has been spotted in India’s northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh, which borders China. Rescue and search operations are on in the site’s dense forests as a team of Indian Air Force’s paratroopers were airdropped there on Wednesday.
