Sir — This refers to the article, “Intrude, violate, and then offer to discuss” (April 25) by Claude Arpi. There is no end to the territorial appetite of the Chinese dragon.
One only needs to read the far-sighted Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s letter of November 7, 1950, to Jawaharlal Nehru, describing the Chinese “perfidy”.
It is India’s misfortune that the Nehru-Gandhis have continued to rule India, and ‘appeasement’ has become the cornerstone of India’s foreign policy. Will it change nowIJ The least India should do is to postpone the visit of the Chinese Premier and let Beijing know it cannot provoke India and talk peace and co-operation at the same time. The Chinese Premier should not be welcomed in India while his Armed Forces are inside India. China must vacate the territory first and then talk about it.
