ITANAGAR, Sep 4: The All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU) has strongly condemned the repeated incursions and creation of tension along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) by China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA). 
In a press release issued on Friday, AAPSU expressed shock over China’s attempt to resort to war at a time when the Covid-19 pandemic has brought wide-scale sufferings. “The Chinese are resorting to war-mongering and mentally harassing the peaceful people living along the LAC with their rhetorics and notorious antics,” the union said. “While talks between India and China have been going on since last many months at various levels with both sides agreeing on a wide range of issues, it is surprising that the Chinese forces on the ground are doing exactly the opposite of what is being jointly agreed. Either the PLA is a rogue army bereft of any discipline or the Chinese government doesn't want peace along the LAC,” the release read. “The entire state of Arunachal Pradesh and AAPSU stand strong with the brave jawans of our army. Being the voice of the easternmost border state, we will never propagate anything other than peace. However, we strongly urge our army for giving a befitting reply to any misadventure from across the border,” the union asserted. It also stated that due to the illogical claims of China, people of Arunachal Pradesh have been denied funding for development projects from international agencies since last many years. 

While stating that China should respect the McMahon line and refrain from blatant provocations, AAPSU has also urged the union government to maintain extra vigil along the borders and take up the issue of Tibet’s independence at all international fora. AAPSU PR
