JAMMU, Aug 7: National Executive Members and Chief spokesperson, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Dr Jitendra Singh has appealed to National Security Advisory Board (NSAB) team led by its Chairman Shyam Saran, currently on a visit to Ladakh and Northern borders to assess ground situation in the wake of recent incursions by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China.
In a statement, Dr Singh said that no lasting solution is possible unless the Government of India takes a determined initiative to end ambiguity about the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
The ongoing game of hide and seek in the high Himalayas between Indian and Chinese troops is primarily the result of ambiguity that India continues to accept over the LAC, he added.
Dr Jitendra Singh alleged that the failure of the Indian side to end ambiguity about LAC has prompted a pattern of behaviour discernible in the Chinese blow-hot-blow-cold routine.
At the recent Special Representative-level talks in Beijing on the border dispute, for instance, the Chinese side conveyed an expansiveness of outlook, claiming that China was looking to break new ground in addressing the border dispute but the only thing that lies broken today is the trust between the two sides, which always rested on slippery ground, he said.
Dr Singh said that the Chinese troops have also been terrorizing the civilian population on the Indian side and referred to an incident in the month of June when, Chinese troops ventured into the Indian side of the Line of Actual Control in the Chumar area of south-eastern Ladakh and made away with surveillance cameras that Indian troops had set up there.
