Samajwadi Party leader and former Defence Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav also said that China and not Pakistan is the enemy of India.
“India is today facing a big danger from China. I have been cautioning Central governments for many years. None of them paid adequate attention. China has joined hands with Pakistan. It has made full preparation to attack India. China is India’s biggest opponent. What has the government done?,” Indian news agency quoted Yadav as saying.
The politician also expressed concerns over the influx of Chinese goods flooding the Indian market.The agency also says that Yadav is known for his tough stance on China.
The comments come amid heightening tensions between the two countries about the dispute that concerns the land near where the boundaries of China, India and Bhutan intersect.
China on the other hand warned India that the stand-off could escalate into a full-blown conflict and asked India not to “trespass” into the Doklam area as a “policy tool” to achieve its “political targets,” Indian media reported.
China has said it will hold talks with India only after Indian troops are withdrawn from the disputed territory.AFP reports: Bhutan has no diplomatic relations with China and is closely allied to India, which says its troops approached a Chinese army unit that entered the zone on June 16 to build a road.
