Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad on Saturday advised his colleagues in the Ministry not to air their views on sensitive issues such as Chinese incursion into the Ladakh region and that it should be left to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Defence Minister A.K. Antony and External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid.

Talking to reporters at the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee office here, he said it was incorrect for him to speak on the issue even though he hailed from J&K, because it would have international ramifications.
