Raksha Mantri @rajnathsingh to speak in the Parliament shortly..stay tuned..#LAC #China
India -China boundary issue is still unresolved. Says @rajnathsingh
#China is in illegal occupation of 38000 square km of Indian land. China considers 90000 square km at its own. I want to inform you that LAC is not clearly delineated. India & China agree to maintaining peace on LAC..Raksha Mantri @rajnathsingh in Lok Sabha..

Is India systematically turning the heat on China? What is the significance of India occupying commanding heights at #LAC & banning 118 apps. @Chellaney & @sdinny14 join me on #IndiaFirst at 10.30pm. Is there merit in the US intelligence assessment #China shot itself in the foot? ImageImage
China between Finger 5 & 8 does not have strategically important land but India on the South Pangong Tso commanding heights has strategic advantage. After giving China 4 months to pull back, India's deft maneuvere sends out a big signal to China. Under estimate India at own risk
China preventing our patrols in some areas was only because India was playing by the rule book & China violating it with impunity. Now that India has checkmated China in its own game, road ahead will be very tricky. Its advantage India due to high altitude experience & knowledge.

China meets the Great India Wall at #LAC in South #PangongTso. Indian soldiers in strength at #LAC prevent another Chinese transgression on the south side of Pangong lake near #Chushul. India in a commanding position. China cries foul, alleges transgression. Top focus #IndiaFirst
India doesn't want war with #China. But thats not synonymous with permitting PLA transgressions on #LAC. @PMOIndia through #Wuhan & #Mamallapuram Summits tried hard to ensure India & China grow together.But Xi Jinping's myopic vision & Chinese expansionism have to be responded to Image
Wanting peace is not an act of weakness & now China has seen India's resolve both at #Galwan & area south of #PangongTso. Plus gradually reducing Chinese footprint (easier said than done) in Indian market. India must continue to stand firm. Hopefully India will speak in one voice

Hey neutral fact-checker @AltNews @free_thinker. Please do #FactCheck on various claims of #Congress office bearer @abhijitsapkal1 that #Modi is selling everything like PSU's Railways, BPCL, LIC, Air India, banks; as he claimed. @factchecknet @FactCheckIndia Image
Hey fact-Checker @AltNews @free_thinker. Why are you not conducting #FactCheck on various claims of #FakeGandhi's. Request you to do fact-check on these 2 claims in particular; 'Highest Unemployment in 45 Year' & '12 Crs JOB loss' (With Authentic Reports) @factchecknet Image
Hey @AltNews @free_thinker, these two #Congress'i i'diots @SalmanNizami_ & @SaralPatel are telling that #Chinese tourist has entered #PangongTso lake. Pls conduct a quick #FactCheck that how much portion of 'Pangong Tso' was handed over to #China by 'Haraamkhor" #Nehru in 1962. Image

20 braves made the supreme sacrifice of their lives, @PMOIndia visited Ladakh to honour them, boost the morale of our forces & nation & sent out a very strong message to the adversaries: every peak & rock from Siachen to Rezang La is witness to the unparalleled valour of Ind army
The army has built up. IAF is deployed. Navy has sailed out & @PMOIndia in #Ladakh bear testimony to India's strong resolve. Plus ban on 59 Chinese Apps, throwing Huawei & ZTE out of 4G upgrade & road & rail contracts is show of intent & national resolve. China must respect #LAC.
India can & never trust #China. PLA claims of withdrawal must be verified: is withdrawal cosmetic or deinduction to peace time location. Waiting to see if China withdraws beyond Finger 8 at #PangongTso. India must stand united & firm. India must continue building infrastructure 2

#indiachinastandoff THREAD:
Our & Chinese army have been in standoff for almost 2 months now. There are 3 locations where two armies are face to face right on LAC (and in some cases even beyond that).
1. Galwan Valley (Patrol Point 14)
2. Hot Springs
3. Pangong Tso
1. #GalwanValley
Galwan valley is of very high strategic importance to both India & China. It is the gateway to Aksai Chin which is claimed entirely by India but occupied by China. Galwan valley was one of the major battles of 1962 war.
#indiachinastandoff
Interestingly, post-1962, there have been no military face-offs vis-a-vis the region. That is, until now. Around 15th June, this region blew to headlines after deadly brawl between Indian and Chinese troops. There is no official breakdown of events, so let's look at the issue.

Our braves are fighting for every inch of Indian territory. At #Galwan Chinese were pushed beyond #PP14 at a great cost of supreme sacrifice by 20 braves. At #PangongTso soldiers remain eyeball to eyeball at Finger 4. Have we surrendered? Have Chinese won without firing a shot?
Is it all over? Not at all. We lost 43,000 sqkm land & not just in 1950s but even in the past decade. Now when soldiers are holding ground to stop the Chinese salami slicing instead of standing as one people, there is petty point scoring? Stand together against Chinese aggression
Yes questions must be asked how did the Chinese build fortifications between Finger 4 & 8 and come beyond #PP14 at #Galwan before being pushed back. Ask all questions about political & military leadership & Int & Ops decisions... but first push the Chinese back. Keep #IndiaFirst

-Images by @Nrg8000 spotted a camp at #GalwanValleyFaceOff on 22.05.2020
-Images by @Reuters spot debris in the area on 16.06.2020

-#India said #China set up a temp structure that led to the clash, media said the #IndianArmy Col burnt it down

Composite image below Image
Adding this comparison between the 9-16 of June as well that shows the camp did indeed leave some time between may & june but debris arrived instead at the same spot --- via @Reuters Image
Lastly a camp there treated as a forward outpost makes a lot of sense since its "line of sight" would allow either side to watch the other's activities in the area, the only issue is this patch of land lies in #India as per the #China claim line Image

@ajaishukla should explain what is his relationship with #NehruGandhi Family Loyalist Suman Dubey & Obsessive Modi Hater Arun Shourie. How was he benefited by #UPA2 when he was given a Program on @DDNewslive(run on taxpayers money). Has he stopped taking #Pension from Indian Army
Who asked him to float #ConspiracyTheory that #Pulwama was a ‘Inside Job’ by PM @narendramodi. Col.(retd) Ajai Shukla (retd) had also claimed that ‘Pakistan Army & ISI carried out the attack to get Modi re-elected’ as Modi in power. At whose behest was it done? Rahul Gandhi?
Col. Ajai Shukla (retd) had made bizarre statements that the Indian Air Force “diluted” the specifications for trainer aircraft perhaps to favour a particular vendor, #Pilatus. Was it to delay the Modernisation Attempts of Indian Air Force?

Col @sdinny14 who has actually commanded the area spanning #PangongTso to #GalwanValley, has given a lucid and Crystal clear explanation of the terrain and the situation in the area of so-called "conflict" and single-handedly demolished the whole narrative of "India under massive
Incursion" or "India under attack" from China. Thank you @sdinny14 for clearing the air on the matter.

Kudos to @nitingokhale for bringing out this interview. You hv once again proved that you remain the most reliable and accurate Journalist on India's Def and Strategic matters.
Let me just quickly summarize the key points by @sdinny14 -

- Col Dinny has cleared the air on the nomenclature used for the "fingures" in the area.

- The tactical position in the area on the LAC is quite clear now. F4 has a cliff which restricts any vehicular movement. It has

Is it a Smokescreen or Blatant escalation?

**A Long Thread on the latest developments at the Indo-China Border**

China is in no mood for damage limitation; nor is it interested to repair its relations with nations it has had a frictional relationship.

#INDIA #CHINA
Perhaps, this is a post-pandemic normal. China strangely is in a hurry. Amidst all the COVID-19 commotion, China continued its provocations in the #SouthChinaSea. Now that China is back on its feet, they have started from where they left off in #HongKong... #INDIA #CHINA
...by initiating a new National security law that has come to a lot of criticism. In the Line of Actual control, India and China have been engaged in heightened extensions in terms of troop and machinery build up on both sides. #INDIA #CHINA
