Saugata Roy, speaking under Rule 377, urged the government to take the necessary steps to protect the territories belonging to India along the China border
Chinese Army is making ‘aggressive’ moves along the Line of Actual Control in Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim and trying to alter the status quo in Ladakh and had intensified patrolling along the un-demarcated eastern frontier and began reinforcing military posts and infrastructure. Chinese Army making China illegally occupying approximately above 38,000 Sq. Km. of Indian territory in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh. The increasing deployment of Chinese troops closer to the border in the Eastern sector is alarming. They have also been deploying additional military assets besides showing aggressive intent and increasing patrolling. Under the so-called China-Pakistan Boundary Agreement, signed in 1963, Pakistan illegally ceded 5180 Sq. Km. of Indian territory in Shaksgam valley from areas illegally occupied by Pakistan in Union territory of Ladakh to China. I urge upon the Government to ensure urgent steps to protect and preserve the entire territory of Ladakh, Jammu & Kashmir Union territories belonging to India and the message should be conveyed to Pakistan and Chinese authorities. India has to keep a careful and specific attention to the improvement of infrastructure for the development of border areas in order to facilitate the economic development of these areas and also to meet India’s strategic and security requirements.Sir, I also want to add something to my statement.Sir, I want a discussion in this House. No Minister is present here. Sir, it is a matter of national importance. They are avoiding discussion on Kashmir.
