New Delhi: China on Tuesday flatly denied reports of incursions along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Talking to reporters after meeting with Home Secretary G K Pillai here,
Chinese Ambassador Zhang Yan said: "Nothing is happening. You listen to your leaders."
Last week, Yan had met National Security Adviser M K Narayanan and Joint Secretary
in-charge of China in MEA Vijay Gokhale. Earlier, reacting on Chinese incursions,
Chief of Army staff General Deepak Kapoor had said that there has been no increase
in Chinese incursions along the Sino-Indian border. Indian media had reported
that two soldiers of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) were injured in firing
from across the border on the LAC in Arunachal Pradesh, part of which China claims
as its territory. India, however, denied that two of its border guards were injured
in firing by Chinese forces. China claims about 90,000 sq km of Arunachal Pradesh
along their border as part of its territory.
