The Story in Brief
The Ministry of External Affairs on Tuesday said peace in border areas is of 'utmost importance', after reports that Chinese troops crossed the Line of Actual Control in Arunachal Pradesh on August 5-6. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said such incursions are considered the 'most serious' issues in bilateral talks, and the border situation will reflect on overall India-China ties.
Official sources said the Army and ITBP are prepared to 'dominate' the border and monitor Chinese activity. However, the state Chief Minister and the Army have denied fresh incursions. The Nah Welfare Society chairman claimed the PLA is 'at our doorstep'. The government reiterated its commitment to resolve issues through diplomatic and military channels, including the WMCC meeting held on August 6.
The Indian Opinion
The government speaks of 'utmost importance' while its own Chief Minister and Army have denied the very incursions the MEA now flags. One side says the PLA is at the doorstep; the other says all is well. Ordinary citizens are left watching a blame game between local activists and distant officials. The credibility test is simple: will the MEA release the geo-coordinates and patrol logs for Pukar La and Ollo? Until then, these are claims and counter-claims, not a policy.
