'China never follows treaties, behaves like N Korea, Pakistan'

The brutal behaviour of China should not be condemned by us only. International communities like the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) should also do the same as Bejing is a member of it, said defence expert Qamar Agha during an interview with ETV Bharat.

Hyderabad: Launching a scathing attack on China after its troops violently clashed with the Indian army at Galwan Valley in Ladakh, defence expert Qamar Agha said, Beijing never follows international treaties and behaves like North Korea and Pakistan.

Speaking exclusively to ETV Bharat, the geopolitical expert said, "We cannot trust China as it never follows international agreements and treaties. It is very sad that Beijing is behaving like North Korea and Pakistan which is not acceptable."

"Despite having signed a number of treaties like peace agreement, ceasefire agreement to preserve peace along the border, Beijing is violating them. The act displayed by the Chinese troops at the Valley is pure unprofessionalism," Agha added.

"The brutal behaviour of China should not be condemned by us only. International communities like the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) should also do the same as Bejing is a member of it."

"Beijing also supports Pakistani militant group like Jaish e-Mohammed (JeM) and was opposing its inclusion in the list of 'global terrorist' organisation. These things should be discussed by the international communities."

Asked about the present situation at the border Agah said, "The situation is very serious. Many soldiers were martyred. We never expect Chinese soldiers to behave like this as it is not a practice of any professional army."

Notably, 20 Indian soldiers martyred in a violent face-off with Chinese troops on Monday night that lasted hours on the terrain of Galwan Valley and fought with iron rods, fists and rocks.

It was the first deadly confrontation on the disputed border between India and China since 1975.
