New Delhi:
Breaking his silence over the Chinese incursion issue, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said it was a "localised problem" and expressed confidence that the issue can be resolved.
"We do have a plan. We do not want to accentuate the situation. We do believe that it is possible to resolve this problem. It is a localised problem. I think the talks are going on," he said when asked about the stand-off. The Prime Minister was speaking on the sidelines of the defence investiture ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhawan.
On April 15, a platoon-strength contingent of China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) had come inside the Indian territory in Burthe in the Daulat Beg Oldie sector and established a tented post there.
The government had yesterday told a Parliamentary Committee that Chinese troops have pitched tents 19 kilometres deep inside the Indian territory in Ladakh region.
The Army has given its inputs to the Government and the National Security Advisor-headed China Study Group, which is handling the present situation in Ladakh.
All the options suggested to the China Study Group are being looked at carefully and other stakeholders in the situation have also given their inputs.
