Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal asked why can’t India stop trade with China following the latest clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers at Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Arunachal Pradesh.
He opined that such move will not only teach a lesson to China but also increase employment opportunities in India.
Taking to his official Twitter handle, the Delhi CM asked, “Why don’t we stop our trade with China?”
“Most of the goods imported from China are made in India as well. China will get a lesson from this and employment will be created in India,” he wrote in Hindi.
Earlier today, as many as 17 opposition parties staged a walkout from the Rajya Sabha accusing the government of not holding a discussion over the December 9 clashes along the Line of Actual Control between the Indian and Chinese forces at the Tawang sector of Arunachal Pradesh.
The clash near Yangtse along the LAC in the sensitive sector took place last Friday amid the over 30-month border standoff between the two sides in eastern Ladakh.
Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday informed Parliament that China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) troops tried to transgress the LAC in the Yangtse area of Tawang Sector in Arunachal Pradesh and unilaterally change the status quo but they went back to their locations due to timely intervention of Indian military commanders.
Giving statements in both House, the Defence Minister also assured that “our forces are committed to protecting our territorial integrity and will continue to thwart any attempt made on it”
