[Assam] China protests PM's assertion on Arunachal

I am sure Hu J  T would appreciate the advice, and considering the 
source would give it due importance.

But that does not explain MMS'  outpouring of just a couple of weeks 
or so back.

Question remains unanswered as to who was, at best, counting the 
chickens before they were hatched, or was attempting to sand-bag the 
Chinese by declaring Indi-Chini bhai-bhai all over again and that 
everything is hunky-dory, hoping to diffuse Chinese claims ( never 
mind right or wrong- we can look sat it as a  different issue) to 
Arunachal on the sly.

And it raises additional questions as to the realism in the Indian 
PM's approach to problem solving, be it in regards to Chinese claim 
to Arunachal, or be it regarding Assam's disaffections.
