The Story in Brief
Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge have accused China of expanding its presence in Arunachal Pradesh's Taksing sector and restricting Indian patrols, including at the designated point Shera-5. The opposition has demanded answers from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, calling the situation a matter of concern.
The central government, external affairs ministry, and Indian Army have dismissed the reports as unsubstantiated and incorrect. Arunachal Chief Minister Pema Khandu said the border is secure and urged verification by the army. External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal reiterated that Arunachal Pradesh is an inalienable part of India and that border peace is essential for bilateral ties.
The Indian Opinion
Both sides are playing politics with a sensitive border. The opposition is using unconfirmed local reports to paint the government as weak, while the government dismisses every claim without addressing underlying anxieties of border communities. The real test is not who shouts louder, but whether Indian patrols retain access to points like Shera-5. Let independent verification settle the question.
