Foreign ministry seeks report on Chinese ‘transgression’
April 6th, 2011 - 8:54 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, April 6 (IANS) The defence ministry has been asked for a detailed report on reports of Chinese troops in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and their alleged “transgression” into Indian territory, Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao said Wednesday.
“There are transgressions from time to time which occur when Chinese troops come over to our side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC). And occasionally we are told that we are crossing on to their side, so this is going on for some time,” Rao told reporters on the sidelines of a business event here.
“I have asked for more detailed report from the ministry of defence,” she said.
The foreign secretary said India was committed to resolving differences with China through dialogue.
“What is the way out? The way out is not to raise tensions. We don’t want tension to be raised. We need to discuss it in a rational way,” she said.
