Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader, Tariq Anwar on Monday asked the Government of India (GoI) to lodge a protest with the Chinese, by summoning its envoy seeking an explanation over the latest incursions taking place on the Indian side along the Line of Actual Control (LoAC).

"Government of India should lodge protest and must summon the Chinese Ambassador to India (Wei Wei) and seek an explanation from him," Anwar told ANI.

"Whenever there are border violations that come up be it from any side, it must be resolved through talks," the NCP leader said.

On Sunday, it was reported that the Chinese herdsmen pitched tents in the Demchok area of Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir. But they withdrew following talks between the two sides.

The incident is reported to have taken place on July 22 at the Charding Nilu Nullah Junction in the Demchok sector along the Line of Actual Control.

An Indian patrolling team was dispatched to the spot and later a China's People's Liberation Army team also reached there.

Both parties held a flag meeting between the commanders from the respective sides, which finally resulted in the Chinese agreeing to move back the herdsmen a day after.
