The Congress leader also suggested that PM Modi must have been under pressure from China due to which he was forced to give the "clean chit" to an "enemy nation".
In response to the comments made by former Union Minister Mani Shankar Aiyar on Chinese aggression in 1962, Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera said that the former had said in a "slip of tongue" and he had also apologised for his statement.
"This is not a big issue. It was a slip of tongue and he has apologised. The Bharatiya Janata Party is continuously bringing up this issue after that. This shows their bankruptcy," Mr Khera said speaking to ANI on Wednesday.
Mr Khera, however, questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi for allegedly giving a "clean chit" to China in the Galwan Valley clash in 2020.
