R.K. Singh calls Indian government pusillanimous over allegedly abandoning patrolling point in Arunachal
I want to know; the nation wants to know how many other patrolling points the government has given up since 2014, asked former Union Minister and Home Secretary R.K. Singh
Former Union Minister and Home Secretary R.K. Singh accused the Indian government of abandoning patrolling points in Arunachal Pradesh, according to a recent report. In a video post on X on August 12, 2026, Singh claimed that the Chinese had taken control of a patrolling point called Shera 5 in the Taksing area of Arunachal Pradesh.
Singh, who was suspended from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in November 2025, explained that the abandonment of patrolling points is a result of differing perceptions between India and China regarding the borders and the Line of Actual Control (LAC). He emphasized that patrolling up to these points is essential to communicate India's claim line to the Chinese.
Singh specifically requested answers from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh regarding the number of patrolling points abandoned by the government since 2014.
