CM Revanth Reddy accuses China of 'encroaching' over 2,000 km of Indian land since 2014
Hyderabad, Dec 24: Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Tuesday accused China of "encroaching" over 2,000 kilometres of Indian land since 2014, claiming that the "rulers" lack the courage to discuss the issue and reveal the facts.
Speaking at a book release function, Reddy also expressed concerns about the ongoing conflict between two groups in Manipur, which he attributed to the rich mineral resources in the region.
He questioned why the central government, representing 140 crore people, and the Indian forces have been unable to establish peace in the troubled northeastern state.
"Which corporate companies are encouraging internal war in Manipur?" Reddy asked, mentioning his visit to the state during Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s foot march.
"Since we are all busy with our daily lives, we fail to notice what’s happening around us. As a former defence committee member (when I was a Lok Sabha member), I cannot officially reveal the issues discussed in the meetings, but China has encroached over 2,000 sq km. The rulers lack the courage to discuss this subject or reveal the facts, and no one is taking up these issues," he alleged.
Claiming that thousands of AK-47 rifles are being used in Manipur, Reddy emphasised that issues like Chinese intrusion, the internal conflict in Manipur, and the use of illegal weapons need to be discussed in Parliament.
"Whether it is Chinese intrusion, the conflict in Manipur or the use of AK-47 rifles, an extensive discussion on these issues is necessary to control them. Only then can peace be established in this country—peace that is essential for the development of our nation," he stated.
He also recalled Colonel Santosh Babu, a Telangana native, who was martyred during the Chinese attack in 2020.

Bihar govt to constitute 100 fast-track courts to expedite disposal of criminal cases: Home min
Patna (PTI): Bihar Home Minister Samrat Choudhary on Sunday announced that the state government will establish 100 fast-track courts (FTCs) to ensure the swift disposal of pending cases.
He said that the move also aims to ease the burden on regular courts for them to accord due attention to sensitive cases.
Choudhary said the decision in this regard has been made considering that over 18 lakh cases are pending before different courts in the state.
The constitution of FTCs will "bring in a big relief" to the judicial system and litigants, he said.
"To operationalise 100 FTCs across 38 districts and sub-divisions, the government will undertake large-scale recruitment," the home minister asserted in a statement.
He said that a total of 900 posts, including those of bench clerks, office clerks, stenographers, deposition writers, data entry operators, drivers, process servers and peons, will be filled.
Choudhary also announced that 79 courts will be designated as 'act courts' to fast-track cases related to the Arms Act. Swift resolution of such serious cases, he said, will strengthen law and order in the state.
The minister said that Patna alone will get eight fast-track courts, while four courts each will be set up in Gaya, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga and Bhagalpur. Three FTCs each are planned for Nalanda (Bihar Sharif), Rohtas (Sasaram), Saran (Chhapra), Begusarai, Vaishali (Hajipur), East Champaran (Motihari), Samastipur and Madhubani.
Similarly, two courts each will be established in West Champaran (Bettiah), Saharsa, Purnea, Munger, Nawada, Jehanabad, Arwal, Aurangabad, Kaimur (Bhabhua), Buxar, Bhojpur (Arrah), Sitamarhi, Sheohar, Siwan, Gopalganj, Supaul, Madhepura, Araria, Kishanganj, Katihar, Banka, Jamui, Sheikhpura, Lakhisarai and Khagaria. One FTC each is also proposed for the sub-divisional courts of Naugachia and Bagaha.
