Chinese incursion on Indian Territory 'extremely unfortunate': Ninong Ering

New Delhi, Apr. 20 (ANI): Terming the Chinese incursion on Indian Territory as extremely unfortunate, Minister of State for Minority Affairs Ninong Ering on Saturday said that the attitude of their military is very unbecoming.

"As an individual from Ladakh or Arunachal Pradesh being the border area of China, we would request the Chinese Government that this attitude by their military is very unbecoming. We really want that China and India work together for the development of the people, development of the country and become two very strong forces, which in fact the whole world will be afraid of," said Ering.

The Congress MP from Arunachal Pradesh said that this contentious issue is there even in his own state.

"We have this issue even in Arunachal Pradesh also. This is a story not of now, but even before the 1962 aggression or even before 1947. We had trade links with China, but of course it was not China it was Tibet at that time. So, we never had any links with China," said Ering.

"We had relations with Tibet. Of course we had our own sovereignty, they had their own sovereignty. That time Tibet was not under the control of China," he added.

According to certain media reports, a Platoon-strength contingent of China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) have entered the Indian Territory in Daulat Beg Oldi (DBO) sector in eastern Ladakh and erected a tented post, setting the stage for a face-off with Indian troops.

DBO, which is located in northernmost Ladakh, is a historic campsite. It is located on an ancient trade route connecting Ladakh to Yarkand in Xinjiang, China. (ANI)

I have said earlier, the Chinese and Pakistanis are completely unreliable.

The Chinese are seeing how weak our corrupt central government is.

They see how our politicians are dividing the people by their caste, religion and language.

They realize India is ripe for their taking and are moving in gradually.

It is just a matter of time the Chinese move in further south in both the Eastern and Western sectors.

Unless India cooperates with the USA in tackling China, we are in for more trouble.
