Chinese Threat along line of Actual Control

It has been reported that the Projects of BRO and other public works were stalled temporarily upon Chinese threat along the LAC. The Border Roads Organization along with the paramilitary forces is engaged in building roads along the Indian borders.

The problem of LAC, occupation by the Chinese army of Aksai Chin has a history of 60 years. When it was reported the then Prime Minister Nehru persuaded Mr. SuEnLoi, the then Chinese premier for the eviction of Chinese troops from Indian lands, which Mr. Loi accepted. But, the army was never removed from our land. On the Chinese efforts of occupation of Tawang monastery, Arunachal Pradesh, Nehru gladly offered the Aksai Chin province stating that the land is not worth of a single blade of grass.

Aksai- Chin is very important to China because it provides route from Tibet to Xin xiang Uiygur. There is no other connectivity to Uiygur.

The territory of Jammu and Kashmir according to the instrument of accession signed by maharaja Hari singh includes Aksai Chin province also. Therefore, the claim of china on Aksai chin and the enclaves of middle sector is unjustifiable. Around 38,000 square km. of Aksai Chin is in possession of China. The Indian New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP) covers the complete territory of India including LOC. It is believed that the mineral wealth of Aksai Chin is enormous. India cannot afford to give up the Aksai chin province to China. The territorial disputes, at least Aksai chin and the middle sectors should be resolved purely bilaterally. Sooner the wisdom, better it would be.
