Be aggressive with China: RSS to govt

Rajgir (Bihar), Oct 10 (PTI) Accusing the Centre of
'dilly-dallying attitude' on the border issue with China, the
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Saturday suggested the
government adopt an aggresive policy and enhanc the strike
potential of Indian armed forces on Indo-Tibet border.

RSS also said the government should act in keeping
with the resolutions adopted by the Parliament on November 14,
1962.

"The Centre has adopted a dilly-dallying attitude towards
resolution of the disputed issues relating to the border with
China," RSS media in-charge Madan Das Devi told reporters on
the penultimate day of a three-day executive committee meet
in this east Indian city.

Devi said the RSS reminded the Centre of the resolution
which had been unanimously adopted by Parliament on November
14, 1962 and said the government must act in keeping with the
sentiments of the resolution.

"In the resolution, it has been clearly talked about
taking back the entire land captured by China ... We should
not leave even an inch of our land with China," the RSS leader
said.

"India should ask China to recognise the Line of
Control (Mcmohan line) as the international border on the
lines of the China-Myanmar border," Devi said.

Devi said "only an aggressive policy coupled with
sustained stand by India can reap favourable results".

The RSS in its resolution also urged the government to
take immediate steps to strengthen the borders with Tibet,
Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Devi said the meeting also suggested the Centre to
increase the striking potential of armed forces on the
Indo-Tibet border in the light of Chinese forces there and its
efforts to strengthen infrastructure.

"China has always used diplomatic dialogue and
encouraged our enemies to disturb India ... It has also
set up a patrol post on Coco island in South Myanmar and
has made it a full-fledged army post, "Devi contended.

RSS said China wanted to demonstrate that Arunchal
Pradesh and Kashmir were not an integral part of India and "it
is a matter of serious concern that China is issuing paper
visas to citizens of Arunachal Pradesh and Kashmir."

The RSS asked the Centre to order immigration officials
that they should immediately ban the use of paper visas for
Indian citizens.

The RSS resolution said the executive committee also
underlined similar concerns over Indo-Pak border.

The committee demanded that government abide by the
sentiments expressed in the resolution unanimously adopted by
Parliament on February 22, 1994, about Pakistan which firmly
stated taking back Pak-occupied Kashmir areas. PTI AJK
