New Delhi, November 20: The BJP on Tuesday claimed that China has mobilised its troops along its border with India in Arunachal Pradesh and asked the UPA government to explain what is happening in the state.

The party also alleged that Chinese troops were making incursions into the Indian territory regularly and accused the government of ‘concealing’ the facts.

"Arunachal Pradesh is in deep, deep trouble. Government should come clean on what is happening there," BJP MP Arun Shourie said in New Delhi.

India, he said, is now facing ‘one of the gravest situations’ after the Chinese invasion of 1962 from an external source other than the Bangladeshi infiltration.

He also accused the government of ‘outsourcing’ its foreign policy and ‘concealment’ of facts and turning a blind eye towards the Chinese violations in Arunachal Pradesh.

The government is ‘silent’ on Pakistan, while it has ‘outsourced’ the foreign policy to CPM as far as Nepal is concerned. On the LTTE problem "people are writing poems praising them," he added.

BJP MP from Arunachal Pradesh Kiran Rijiju, who addressed the press conference along with Shourie, claimed Chinese troops even blew up a Buddha statue in Tawang sector of the state.

While the government claims that there were no incursions, the Indo-Tibetan Border Police says there were at least 146 incursions in 2006, he added.
