| DM misleads Parliament on Chinese presence in POK :Bhim | | Jammu, July 26 (Scoop News)- Prof.Bhim Singh, Chief Patron of National Panthers Party, who is also Member of National Integration Council has expressed serious concern on the silence or ignorance of Arun Jaitley, Defence Minister of India on the actual state of affairs vis-à-vis 32,000 sq. miles of the Indian Territory under Pakistan occupation since 1947 called Gilgit-Baltistan. The NPP Chief Patron reminded the minister that Gilgit-Baltistan were occupied by Pakistan after the ceasefire in 1947 and arrested the Gilgit Governor, Brig. Ghansara Singh. Since then this part of J&K, Indian Territory stands occupied in violation of UN Resolution.
Prof.Bhim Singh wondered if the Defence Minister has the least idea/ information that 5000 sq. miles of Indian Territory in Karakoram (Gilgit-Baltistan) was illegally leased out by Pakistan to China. India did not raise a single voice against this occupation and illegal transfer of land.
He questioned the minister if he has any knowledge on the fact that China has built 65 station pads for their army helicopters which keep around the clock vigil on the national highway which China has built from Beijing to Peshawar (Pakistan) to connect China with Europe for the first time in history through the Indian Territory.
Prof.Bhim Singh also questioned the minister if he has any idea/information that Pakistan in 2009 has unilaterally and in utter violation of the resolution of UN declared Gilgit-Baltistan as its 5th province. The land in question about which the Defence Minister replied in Lok Sabha on 25th July, 2014 saying,
“Government pays close attention to Chinese activities in PoK and it has conveyed its concerns to China and asked them to cease such activities”.
Prof.Bhim Singh said that either the minister is ignorant about the real situation or has intended to mislead Lok Sabha. In any way, this was the responsibility of the Members of Parliament to correct the minister in the interest of maintaining the integrity of the Parliament and keep the world informed about the correct situation.
Prof.Bhim Singh said that China occupied about 20,000 sq. miles of Indian Territory in Ladakh sector since 1962 which China has annexed permanently. He regretted that the Defence Minister of India failed to pass on correct information to the Members of the Parliament. He expressed shock on the silence of the Members of Parliament who failed to raise the issue in right perspective.
