Photo: AFPWashington: Expressing concern over the Sikkim standoff between India and China, an influential US lawmaker has accused Beijing of taking provocative steps that have resulted in the escalation of tensions between the two Asian giants. I believe that China has taken certain provocative steps that have escalated into the current standoff on the plateau,” Raja Krishnamoorthi, the Congressman from Illinois, said. The US has maintained its silence on the Sikkim standoff between the armies of India and China. The US last month also had avoided commenting on the Sikkim standoff.
