in india, there's no discrimination... your message to the world is that you value... ..in india. no, your message to the world is quite clear — that you make a distinct category for muslim people, in this case, it is a question of people who come from neighbouring states into india, you give the rights to non—muslims to a fast—track citizenship, a right which you specifically and explicitly deny to muslims. yes, just as austria has done to thejews, america has done to certain sections, vietnamese refugees, if i am not wrong, even spain has done to certainjews of the second world war time, certain category of refugees, their citizenship has just been just fast—tracked. nobody is denied citizenship in india. if one qualifies, for example, i tell you, at least 15 — close to 15 pakistani citizens have acquired indian citizenship under our government in the last five, six years. mr madhav... ..citizenship laws doesn't discriminate. mr madhav, i don't want to misunderstand you or put words in your mouth, but when you start telling me about the way in which germany or austria

there so an appeal from germany for china and india to deescalate. them and just how much white does an appeal like this carry does germany or europe do they have enough sway to influence this at all . well i think the good thing is that unlike and of a number of other major border disputes around the world i mean we have seen over the years that india and china are able to deescalate their tensions whenever there is a crisis and you know as noted before the 2 sides came up with a dialogue process a few weeks ago without any type of x. turn on mediation or anything like that so i don't actually think that the 2 sides at least at this point they don't need calls from outside to just sort of push them to deescalate but i think the problem is if there is escalation from this point if there is there's retaliation for something happens where you really have to start worrying about the situation spiraling out of the troll i think at that point that's when mediation such. calls for the escalation such as what we heard from the german foreign minister that's

india is capable of defending itself. days i want to assure the country that the sec or 5 of our soldiers will not be in vain at the met he died of. heart of a card about the unity and integrity of the country is of the utmost importance to us. and nobody can stop us from defending that body no one should have any doubt all misconception about that. but i'm out some day and you will not die. across india in news of the clash and feed taleban's sent angry crowds into the streets protesters destroyed the chinese appliances and called for the boycott of chinese goods 6 others burned posters of chinese president xi jinping. well there is still no official word from china regarding fatalities among its forces today china insisted the situation on the border is stable and the lines of communication it said are still open with india still the foreign ministry made clear who beijing blames for this clash so this is the time to see if each of the rights and wrongs of the situation are extremely clear. the relevant incident happene

and india wanted to use the british line of demarcation between china and india and china throughout the ages all through several successive chinese governments have never recognized the legality of the muck a muck a hole like the europe to china and yet to use all their wisdom and a thaw site to come to a settlement after that is actually months because that's a few months but that settlement hasn't been arrived at is what i'm saying that to go and therefore it is a matter for bilateral discussions something that you alluded to in your 1st answer therefore my question is why did chinese troops unilaterally enter an area where they were last in in 1962. no i don't think what you'll mentioned is accurate on the situation on the ground china has been meant taining it's part of the deal with the indian side and china from the very beginning has been urging no conflict and nobody injury would happen and china has been calling for maximum restraint and the fact that china and india have never fired a single shot against each other ever since the end of the china india border war in 1962 t

for india to act against china. ok this is a big business possible pressure facing the government might india became to deescalate both given this imbalance in military power will perhaps all the reasons as well. so if you look at what's in the danger modi had to say that the death of the 20 soldiers is not going to be in vain and also that you know they're capable of a big fishing response if they provoked well that's that's it doesn't seem like he wants to deescalate that and again he is under a lot of pressure there are protests out on the streets they are small they are still restrictions on the number of people who can gather that there have been protests and lots of cities around the country including outside the chinese embassy by army veterans calling for action against china is. the hash tag boycott china and boycott chinese products is trending on twitter to india has a very nationalist media and they're all holding action against china and again india is not going to respond well to the chinese foreign mi
