‘It's not 1962,’ Tawang Monastery warns China

ITANAGAR: Following the Yangtse skirmish between the Indian and Chinese soldiers along the Line of Actual Control in the Tawang sector, the monks of Tawang Monastery have warned China that “it’s not 1962, it’s 2022” and “it is PM Modi government” at the helm.

“PM Modi will not spare anyone,” Lama Yeshi Khawo, a Monk of Tawang Monastery saidvoicing the concerns of all those present at the 17th-century monastery that has also witnessed the 1962 clash between the Asian giants.

Yesi Khawo said that the Chinese government always “goes after” other countries’ territories and it’s totally wrong. “They also eye Indian land. The Chinese government is wrong. If they want peace in the world, then they shouldn’t do this.

If they actually want peace, then they shouldn’t harm anyone,” Khawo said. He also said that they have full trust in the present Indian government and the Indian Army, who will keep Tawang secure.
