Dharamsala, April 7 – A delegation of India’s second largest party, Bharatiya Janta Party, has accused China of pushing its nomads and grazers into Ladakh thereby “grabbing Indian land by inches”, reported the Press Trust of India.
The delegation demanded that the government of India open the area to tourism to tackle the Chinese incursion.
“We have come here to ascertain reports about the Chinese incursion and what we have found is shocking…,” said party spokesperson Rajeev Pratap Rudy, who was part of the five-member delegation that visited Ladakh and bordering areas of Nyoma and Demchok, 300 kilometres from southeast of this Himalayan town.
This is the first national-level political delegation to visit the far flung areas of the Himalayan town. The team included former Uttrakhand Chief Minister Bhagat Singh Koshiyari and former J and K unit chief Nirmal Singh.
