Former Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Wednesday said that China is diverting Arunachal Pradesh's Brahmaputra water to Xinjiang region.
Talking to ANI, Gogoi said that China has already been diverting Brahmaputra water with a dam which will create water shortage for us.
The artificial rainwater harvesting plan of them will create even more danger.
PM Narendra Modi should take it seriously or our future will be in dark.
