The All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU) on January 21 said it has taken serious note of China reportedly establishing a village in Upper Subansiri district in the northeastern State and demanded that the Centre initiates appropriate counter-measures to check Beijing’s “expansionist” move.
Condemning China’s “provocative” move, the apex students’ body of the State alleged that the Centre’s “lethargic and non-committal” approach other than mere lip service vis-a-vis Chinese antics is emboldening the neighbouring country to carry out their “expansionist design”.
“Chinese claim over our State has given rise to myriad problems, notably the stapled visa issue and Siang river imbroglio, which still remains inconclusive till date despite the union bringing up the issue at the highest level several times,” AAPSU chief Hawa Bagang said in a statement.
