Jammu, April 26 (Scoop News) –BJP State President & MLA Jugal Kishore Sharma has called upon the UPA government to make its policy clear as far as China is concerned and ensure that repeated incursions by Chinese troops and Peoples Liberation Army are stopped forthwith. While reiterating that no political party is in favour of escalating the stand- off following Chinese intrusion in Daulat Baig sector of Ladakh, he said the government should ensure that the PLA troops occupying the area are immediately asked to withdraw.
Jugal Kishore Sharma said that Vajpayee-led NDA government had followed consistent foreign policy towards China and Pakistan but ever since the Manmohan Singh government came into power, there has been only confusion on both the fronts. As a result of this, China has been repeatedly violating the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and Pakistan is also continuing with its mischievous designs on the border.
Sharma said that message should not go that India is a soft state and not capable of defending its territories. He said India also has trade relations with China but China is a bigger partner and if India wants to be treated with respect and seriousness, it should strive for and equal relationship with China in trade and other areas.
Expressing his full support and solidarity with the patriotic people of Ladakh, Jugal said that BJP has setup a very strong party unit in Ladakh which is working in close coordination with the local people, who are repeatedly at the receiving end of Chinese aggression. He said the people of the region have made great sacrifices for the country, particularly during the 1962 war and Kargil war of 1999 and in future also they are prepared to put up a brave front.
