Ladakh<\/strong>: A top political leader, Ghulam Hassan Khan, in Union Territory of Ladakh Friday termed the China\u2019s move in eastern Ladakh as \u201chighly unfortunate\u201d and said the outcome won\u2019t be beneficial for any of the country and even if China captures land of Indian Territory that won’t affect the local population in may manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Haji Ghulam Hassan Khan, former Member Parliament for Ladakh, who represents Jammu and Kashmir National Conference believes that the history has left the land between India and China un-demarcated that\u2019s why the encroachment keeps happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Talking to news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO), the veteran politician Khan said that neither a war nor a standoff will serve us any purpose but the claims and counter-claims about the sovereignty were being made for past so many years now only because the area has no demarcated border line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

He said it\u2019s not a demarcated border, but there is no panic among the local population at the moment as the exact spot of face-off between India and China is an far off site area where only moving nomads go which is almost 300 kilometers away from Leh town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople entirely have no panic but all are very concerned about the tensions and want all this not to happen,\u201d Khan told KNO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He refrained from commenting about the actual situation on border stating, \u201cI don\u2019t know what exactly is happening at border and we can’t say how all this happened since when it\u2019s told that 43 Chinese soldiers were killed and India lost 20 in a violent faceoff and if there are clashes casualties will be suffered from both the sides.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Government is doing whatever is required and army on ground level is looking at the entire situation and are going on as per the situation demand since its un-demarcated border tensions keep arising there, he said. Former MP said even though China alleges India of entering into their territory and sometimes India accuses them, it’s all because the border is not demarcated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Blaming the past history for the land not being demarked, he said history is to be blamed for no demarcation of the border between India and China so that\u2019s why we can\u2019t say this line of control belongs to either of the countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Talking about China’s claim of sovereignty, he said it can\u2019t be said as to how much of the Indian Territory China has captured. \u201cWe can\u2019t say as it\u2019s absolutely not known yet,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

He said at present the claims are entirely being made on basis of satellite image\u2019s only. \u201cWe have to believe the government version also since there is no access in the area even the civilians don\u2019t reside there so we have to believe the government version,\u201d Khan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

He also said Indian government has said China didn\u2019t enter our territory so we have to say probably they (China) haven\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

To a question about the impact and effect if India loses land to china he said, there won\u2019t be any sort of impact or effect on our local population as only moving nomads live there and there is no village or residential house that belong to any of the local\u2014(KNO)<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
