NO ONE CAN WARN INDIA-
RAJNATH SINGH
With China reacting sharply to government’s plans to
construct a border road in Arunachal , Home Minister Rajnath Singh on
Thursday sent a strong message, asserting that no one can warn India. “Today,
no one can give warning to India. We are a very powerful country,” he told
reporters on the sidelines of a function in Manesar.Mr. Singh was asked about
China’s strong reaction to plans to construct a road network along McMahon line
from Mago-Thingbu in Tawang to Vijaynagar in Changlang district of Arunachal
Pradesh to match China’s infrastructure development.“There is a dispute about
the eastern part of the China-India border. Before final settlement is reached
we hope that India will not take any action that may further complicate the
situation,” Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hong Lie had said in Beijing.
The Home Minister on 16th Octobrt,2014,Thursday
said India and China should sit together to resolve the border dispute.Government
is taking a number of steps for improving infrastructure along the Sino-Indian
border, especially in Arunachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir.Forces of the two
countries were locked in a stare-down at Chumur in Ladakh for a fortnight
beginning September 11, which clouded the Chinese President Xi Jinping’s
three-day India visit.For days, soldiers of the Chinese PLA and Indian Army
personnel were engaged in an eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation in the area.Prime
Minister Narendra Modi raised the matter twice with the Chinese president.
Tension erupted when some Chinese workers crossed over with equipment to build
a road up five kilometre deep inside the Indian territory. A marathon flag
meeting between the two armies facilitated an end to the crisis.The Home
Minister on Tuesday reviewed the prevailing situation along the 3,488 km-long
border with China and steps being taken to stop incursions in future.
