The tanks, the paratroopers, the troops. #Ladakh. RM @rajnathsingh 's visit to Leh, Stakna & Lukung. First @PMOIndia & now Raksha Mantri in Ladakh. Signals India's intent. Restoration of status quo ante (Honour the sacrifices of #Galwan braves. Stare the dragon down. #IndiaFirst)
#Galwan: the Supreme sacrifice by 20 Indian braves (inflicting many more casualties across) is a watershed in India-China engagement. The era of salami slicing of Indian territory & coercion is over. India now speeds up infrastructure development. New equipment to carve mountains
Short, medium & long term aims.
Short Term: Restoration of status quo ante at #LAC
Medium Term: Initiate patrolling till all patrol points post de-escalation.
Long Term: Build & improve infrastructure (road/helipads to enable quick movement of men & material to any area asap)
India lost 43,000 sqkm territory to China because Indian leadership chose not to confront the Chinese over salami slicing in the past.The sacrifice made by the Galwan braves is an eye opener for the nation. Stand up to the expansionst bully & stand together.The Bully will retreat
Those who argue India is weak & China won...
1. Is it over already?
2. Have Chinese not gone back at Galwan/disengaging elsewhere (talks still on)
3. Has India said we will not go upto Patrol Points post de-escalation
4. Has India stopped or intensified infrastructure development
