Itanagar, April 12: Defence Minister A K Antony has said adequate steps have been taken against invasion of Tawang, an important Buddhist centre on the India-China border.

Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu said that the Defence Minister, who visited Tawang on April 6, that when he asked Antony about the possibility of invasion of Tawang as people there had expressed solidarity with Tibetans, the Defence Minister told him not to worry as adequate steps had been taken.

The Chief Minister is a Buddhist hailing from Tawang, which is the abode of a 400-year-old monastery, Asia's second biggest Buddhist shrine after the one in Lhasa, capital of Tibet, and also the birth place of the 8th Dalai Lama.

It has a predominantly Buddhist population, mostly belonging to the Monpa tribe.
