Arunachal East MP Tapir Gao says India should be ready for any kind of eventualities, not only in Arunachal Pradesh but even in Sikkim.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Delhi: <\/strong>BJP MP from Arunachal East, Tapir Gao, has claimed that China\u2019s People\u2019s Liberation Army (PLA) has been regularly patrolling inside Arunachal Pradesh, posing a great threat to India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gao said it is time for action on the border for the integrity and security of the country. \u201cThe Chinese are still active along the international border and the government of India should be ready for any kind of eventualities not only in Arunachal Pradesh but even in Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand,\u201d Gao told ThePrint Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gao also expressed concern over Monday\u2019s Galwan Valley incident, which resulted in at least 20 deaths on the Indian side, including the commanding officer of the 16 Bihar unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MP said he had been raising the issue of PLA patrols in Arunachal Pradesh in Parliament too. \u201cThey have been patrolling inside Arunachal Pradesh daily. Last year, the Chinese army had intruded into Arunachal Pradesh\u2019s Anjaw district too. This is a cause of concern for the security of the country,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China\u2019s claim on Arunachal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

China has claimed Arunachal Pradesh as part of its territory for decades, refusing to recognise what New Delhi has repeated asserted is an \u201cintegral and inalienable part\u201d of India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BJP MP said after 1962, China had indulged in its \u201cexpansion policy\u201d, and had established infrastructure and roads by occupying many areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn 2017, China constructed a road inside the Indian territory in the Upper Siang district. It was later blocked by the Indian Army. Over a period of time since 1962, China has been following its policy of expanding its territory and has occupied a number of areas and even today they continue to patrol in several others,\u201d Gao claimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September last year too, Gao had raised issues related to Chinese intrusions, claiming that the PLA entered Arunachal Pradesh\u2019s remote Anjaw district and constructed a bridge over a stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
