China has said the dam being built by it on river Brahmaputra will have no impact on the downstream flow of the river into India, External Affairs Minister S M Krishna told Rajya Sabha on Wednesday.
"It is a fact that when I met my Chinese counterpart recently, the question of the hydel project over Brahmaputra river being built by it in Zangmu did come up. However, the Chinese foreign minister assured me that it is a small project which will not have any impact on the river's downstream flow into North-east India," he said during Question Hour.
Expressing dissatisfaction over the answer, opposition BJP demanded a short term discussion on the issue. They were joined by Birendra Prasad Baishya and Kumar Deepak Das (both BJP). Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was also present in the House.
Das said the dam being built by China is not a small project but a 450 MW hydro-electric project and sought to know from Krishna the status of talks with China over trans-border rivers like Brahmaputra
