India faces danger from China, infiltrators: Rajnath

Guwahati (Assam), Mar 21 (PTI) Senior Bhartiya Janta
Party leader Rajnath Singh on Monday said India was facing
great danger from within and outside with China
claiming Arunachal Pradesh, the north eastern state of India,
was a part of it while infiltrators were creating trouble.
"China is claiming that Arunachal Pradesh is theirs
when it is a part of India. They issue stapled visas to people
from Arunachal," Singh said while speaking at party meeting.
"Then India should also tell China that it would issue
stapled visas to people coming from Tibet to India. But India
does not have the courage to do so," lamented Singh.
Charging the Congress-led central government of being
"weak" and criticising the foreign minister of failing to
oppose China's diversion of the Brahmaputra, he said, "when in
power, the BJP will put diplomatic pressure against the
diversion and have an international water treaty".
Asserting that infiltration from Bangladesh was posing
to be a great danger for internal security, he said Assam's
demographic character has been changed due to this.
"Relation with that country is good, so the Centre
should talk to them to take back their people who came here
after 1971," Singh said.
He criticised the Congress for not caring for what was
happening in Assam.
"When we come to power here, we will put pressure on
the Centre to identify and deport the infiltrators," the BJP
leader said.
