'China Preparing For War': Owaisi Asks PM Modi To Speak Out On Reports Of PLA Construction In Arunachal
His remarks come days after EAM Jaishankar said China has disregarded the border pacts with India and asserted that a lasting relation cannot be a one-way street and there has to be mutual respect.
Soon after locals of Anjaw district in Arunachal Pradesh recorded videos purportedly showing Chinese troops engaging in construction work near Hadigara-Delta 6 in Chaglagam, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday asked PM Narendra Modi to speak out on the issue and also warned Centre that "China is gearing up for a war with India".
Taking to his Twitter handle, Owaisi wrote, “Will our PM saheb who is scared to even name China, tell us what this Chinese construction party is doing on our territory in Arunachal Pradesh?”
“Chinese ingress has been on for more than two years in Ladakh. And now we have these images from Arunachal. This calls for a special session of parliament to discuss the state of our ties with China. Nothing less will suffice,” he further said.

Speaking at a press conference, the AIMIM president said, “Chinese bulldozers have come to our soil and you (BJP) are silent over the issue. These people are proud of bulldozers; go and bring these bulldozers from there… The government had 14-15 rounds of talks with China. What has been the outside? I am telling you there could be a war with China at any time… but I hope it doesn't happen. PM Modi should hold a press conference and address the issue.”
It is to be noted that his remarks come a few days after External Affairs minister S Jaishankar said that China has disregarded the border pacts with India and asserted that a lasting relation cannot be a one-way street and there has to be mutual respect.
