ABVP hold border protest, burn China flag

Shimla: Angered by the muted response of the Indian government towards the incursions made by the Chinese army in Ladhak region, Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad held a protest demonstration at the Himachal Pradesh University campus, earlier today.

The protesting youngsters also burnt a Chinese national flag on the occasion.

Blaming the Manmohan Singh government for not taking the issue of Chinese forces camping much inside the line of control in the Daulat Beg Old Area of Ladhak seriously, the students said that the prime minister terming it a localized issue was only finding lame excuses.
