Delhi/Hyderabad, Dec 13 (Maxim News): The recent clashes along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) between the Indian and Chinese forces at the Tawang sector in Arunachal Pradesh rock the Parliament as several MPs across the party line seeks discussion on the situation

Members of both the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha gave notices under rule 267 and rule 176 of the Rules of Procedure for the suspension of business to conduct discussion on the December 9 clashes between the forces of India and China at the Tawang border.

The MPds have demanded to suspend Zero Hour and relevant rules relating to Question Hour and other businesses of the day to have discussion on the issue which need immediate measures to combat such aggressions and protect India’s interests along the International border.

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.

“On December 9, PLA troops contacted the LAC in Tawang Sector which was contested by their own (Indian) troops in a firm and resolute manner. This face-off led to minor injuries to few personnel from both sides, “the Indian Army said in a statement.

“Both sides immediately disengaged from the area. As a follow up of the incident, the (Indian) commander in the area held a flag meeting with his counterpart to discuss the issue in accordance with structured mechanisms to restore peace and tranquility, it said.
