Congress Rahul Gandhi on Friday morning took a dig at Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman over her 'Act of God' remarks on the economy, asking if the Narendra Modi government considers China’s provocation and flare-up at the border in Ladakh also an ‘act of God’. "The Chinese have taken our land. When exactly is GOI planning to get it back? Or is that also going to be left to an 'Act of God'?” Gandhi said in a tweet. Briefing reporters after the 41st meeting of the GST Council on August 27, Sitharaman had said that the economy is facing an extraordinary "Act of God" situation that may result in an economic contraction, referring to the coronavirus pandemic. “This year we are facing an extraordinary situation. We are facing an Act of God where we may even see a contraction," she had said.
