Please don’t allow the next Doklam in Arunachal Pradesh as China has encroached more than 50 km of land of the Arunachal, BJP Sate president and member of parliament from East Arunachal Tapir Gao claimed in Lok Sabha on Tuesday.
Whenever the president, prime minister, defence minister or home minister visits the state, objections are raised by China, he said raising the issue during Zero Hour.
He said China raised objections by conducting an official press conference when Defence Minister Rajnath Singh visited Tawang area of the state on November 14, 2019.
“I request the House and media to voice protest against this,” he said.
“If a repeat of Doklam takes place, it will happen in Arunachal Pradesh because China has encroached 50-60 km of the state,” he claimed.
This is not the first time that Gao has made the claim.
Earlier in September this year the MP had claimed that the Chinese Army intruded into Arunachal Pradesh’s remote Anjaw district and constructed a bridge over a stream.
India and China share a nearly 4,000-km border, which is not clearly demarcated, leading to incursions by the two sides into each other’s territory.
