New Delhi, December 02: Members in the Rajya Sabha today took strong exception to halting of work at Ladakh border road because of Chinese objection and said it was “humiliating” and a “challenge to India’s sovereignty”.
Raising the issue in Zero Hour, Shreegopal Vyas (BJP) said, “It is very humiliating and a challenge to India’s sovereignty.”
Noting that 35 members in Lok Sabha have conveyed their concern to the government over the issue, he sought to know why Indian Army did not respond when Chinese forces intruded into Indian territory to stop the construction and beat up workers.
He also demanded that the Chinese delegation coming to India should be told about the country’s concern over the issue and that India would not tolerate any interference.
Vyas sought steps by the government in accordance with the country’s sovereignty and expressed concern over the official response on the issue.
