Chief Minister Pema Khandu addressed the media today, describing recent Chinese troop movements along the India‑China border in Arunachal Pradesh as a transgression rather than an intrusion. He emphasized that such deployments are not a new phenomenon, implying a long‑standing pattern of Chinese presence in the region.
Khandu’s remarks come amid ongoing tensions over the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the northeastern state. By framing the movements as a transgression, the CM underscored the need for vigilance and a firm response from Indian security forces.
The statement was made during a press briefing in the state capital, where Khandu urged the central government to maintain a robust border posture. He also called for continued diplomatic engagement to address the issue.
While the CM did not provide specific details about the troop numbers or locations, his comments reaffirm the state's stance on safeguarding its territorial integrity.
The Chief Minister’s remarks are expected to influence both local security measures and the broader national discourse on border management with China.
