Army not allowed to use force to stop Chinese incursions: BJP

NEW DELHI: Defence personnel posted at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) were not being allowed to use force against repeated Chinese incursions in Jammu & Kashmir's Ladakh area, Opposition BJP claimed on Monday.

"Our forces at the border are saying they are not getting permission to use force to thwart appropriately the incursions and illegal moves by the Chinese. BJP demands immediate protection to the border villages of Ladakh and if needed use of force by our security forces," BJP Rajya Sabha MP Tarun Vijay told reporters here.

Chinese incursions in Ladakh have increased in the wake of China's defence minister Gen Liang Guanglie five-day India visit, he claimed.

Describing the Indian government's silence on this issue as "baffling," he demanded that India take up this issue with the Chinese and strongly oppose it.

He claimed that Chinese armed forces put pressure on Indian border villages not to unfurl the Tri-colour at Demchhok, near the LAC.

"Instead the villagers were asked on Independence Day to unfurl the flag in a hall near ITBP post, at a distance from the LAC," Vijay said.

Development work in the border village of Koyul in Leh has also come to a halt as a result of it, he claimed.

"The surprising silence of defence and home ministries in this regard is mysterious," Vijay said, adding that the Deputy Commissioner of Leh had written to the Divisional Commissioner, Srinagar, who, in turn, requested the home ministry to intervene in the matter, but no action has been taken.

The difference between the responses at Jelep-La and Nathu-La

the prc commanders encroaching both passes asked the indian commanders of each - to vacate or face fire .......

- the indian commander at Jelep-La acceded - and today that pass is in prc's hands

- the indian commander at Nathu-La said "no way " - today that pass remains indian hands

sure diplomacy has its place but also , certain politicians needs to study the lessons of nathula jelpla and sumdorongchu - allow the brave indian military to have a greater say in border decisions - rather than always dumbing them down and being a "Master" in capitulation
