Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar has sparked a new political controversy by saying that China "allegedly invaded" India in 1962. His remarks drew reactions from both his party and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The Congress distanced itself from his "original phraseology," while the BJP condemned the comment as a "brazen attempt at revisionism." Known for his contentious statements, Aiyar later issued an "unreserved" apology for his "mistake."
