Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Friday denied reports of a Chinese incursion into the state. He said he would verify the claims by speaking to local residents and the Indian Army.
Khandu said the Army was maintaining Indian territory, according to India TV News. His statement comes as the reported claims remain unverified in the available account. The chief minister has not dismissed the need for checks on the ground, saying he would seek information from residents and Army personnel before establishing what happened.
Two lazy narratives should be avoided: that any report of an incursion proves a breach, or that a denial settles the matter immediately. Khandu’s stated plan is more responsible than either claim because it seeks confirmation from residents and the Army. The useful test is simple: what do those ground checks establish about the reported location and any Chinese presence?
