Itanagar/New Delhi:
In what has the makings of a controversy, former Army Chief and the Governor of Arunachal Pradesh, General JJ Singh, has said that India should do away with its non-negotiable stand on the border dispute with China.
The General said, "It is important to solve the India-China border dispute and for that some give and take is necessary. India will have to move away from our position that our territory is non-negotiable."
Addressing a national seminar on Indo-China relations organised by the Indian Council of Social Science Research and Rajiv Gandhi University, General Singh also urged for normalisation of relations between India and China.
"The world has changed and we are a much more confident nation now. It is important to realise that we need a speedy resolution to the Indo-China boundary dispute and for that some give-and-take may be necessary."
