The Story in Brief
Congress Rajya Sabha member Pawan Khera on Sunday amplified an Arunachal Pradesh creator's video in which he warns that he and the state could be 'seen in China' due to alleged Chinese encroachment, accusing the government of inaction. National Herald India reports that Khera said the creator was 'dejected by the government's continued denial' over China's push into Indian territory.
The video by Taba Nagu uses stark language but is not described as satire. The Indian Army on June 29 rejected allegations of Chinese PLA camps in Arunachal, calling them 'incorrect and without basis'. Chief minister Pema Khandu said he did not believe an incursion had occurred but would meet local community members and speak to the Army to establish facts.
The Indian Opinion
Both sides are playing politics with national security. The opposition uses an angry creator's video to paint the government as weak on China, while the government and Army deny any encroachment without addressing the local community's specific claims. The real test will be the chief minister's meeting with the Nah community and the Army's subsequent report. If locals have indeed lost access to traditional grounds, denial alone won't reassure anyone.
