RSS chief apprehensive about China's plans to build dam on Brahmaputra
Guwahati:Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat has expressed concern over reports of China's plans to build a dam on the river Brahmaputra. Addressing RSS volunteers here on Sunday, Bhagwat said:
"We should be cautious that China should not take away water from our
Brahmaputra river by applying tactics. This is not a question of peace and
non-violence, but
if peace and non-violence is to be conserved then India's natural resources should
be protected." A section of Indian media had reported last year that China is
constructing a dam on Brahmaputra, which could affect the ecology of India. India's
National Remote Sensing Agency had said that the construction work was on at the
Zangmu site on the Chinese side of the Brahmaputra River. However, the Indian
Foreign Ministry has refuted such reports.
