New Delhi: Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj said today that India would raise with China the airspace violation by two two helicopters of its People's Liberation Army Chinese helicopters, which hovered over Uttarakhand’s Chamoli for a few minutes on Saturday, triggering concern in the security establishment about the fourth such incursion into India’s airspace since March.
"In principle China and India have territorial disputes in the eastern section of the China-India border," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said.
In 1958, India and China listed Barahoti, an 80 km square sloping pasture, as a disputed area where neither side would send its troops. In the 1962 India-China war, the Chinese did not enter the 545-km middle sector, focusing on the western (Ladakh) and eastern (Arunachal Pradesh) sectors.
However, after the 1962 war, ITBP jawans patrolled the area with weapons in a non-combative manner, under which the barrel of the gun is positioned downward.
During prolonged negotiations on resolving border disputes, the Indian side had unilaterally decided in June 2000 that the Indo-Tibetan Border Police would not be carrying arms to three posts - Barahoti, Kauril and Shipki in Himachal Pradesh.
Experts call the intrusion of the Chinese choppers an attempt to “test our nerves”.
