New Delhi, Feb 10 (PTI) A BJP MP from Arunachal Pradesh on Thursday raised the issue of a youth reportedly taken away by China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) in 2015 and urged the government for his release.
Raising the matter during the Zero Hour in the Lok Sabha, Tapir Gao also demanded that all agencies should be used to bring back the youth.
The youth’s family went from pillar to post and even asked help from the Army and Government of India to bring him back, he said.
