Congress leader Rahul Gandhi continued his attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the issue of Chinese intrusion into the Indian territory.

Modi had left India on a four-day visit to the US on September 22.

Taking to Twitter, the Congress leader, on Friday, posted a 54-second video which contained news reports of Chinses incursions and asked if "Mr. 56 is scared of China."

Rahul Gandhi has been outspoken in his criticism of the Narendra Modi government's handling of the standoff with China over Ladakh.

The taunt comes on a day when China blamed India for last year's Galwan Valley clash in which 20 Indian soldiers were killed. According to Hindustan Times, China said India violated border agreements and intruded into the Chinese territory.

The Congress has often alleged that the Centre has not been transparent about the extent of Chinses intrusions.

Meanwhile, PM Modi is set to deliver a video address at ‘Global Citizen Live’ on Saturday. It will be a 24-hour event and held across Saturday and Sunday, and will involve live events in major cities including Mumbai, New York, Paris, Rio De Janeiro, Sydney, Los Angeles, Lagos and Seoul.
