Raksha Mantri @rajnathsingh in Parliament: I have seen unparalled valour of our forces in #Ladakh. India China boundary issue unresolved. China doesn't agree to alignment. 1950 decade could not agree to alignment. China 38,000 sqkm in illegal occupation. 90000 sqkm china claims.
Peace & tranquility at LAC post 1988 relationship developed. 1993, 1996 agreement: keep less troops at LAC. Common understanding. 1990 2003 effort made but then China stopped. Overlap in perception at some places at LAC. Elaborate & time tested intelligence gathering mechanism:RM
April 2020 increase in chinese troop strength. May 2020 china interdiction of Galwan patrolling. Goghra & Pangongtso & KongkaLa. Indian forces timely response action. Both commanders met on June 6 2020 for disengagement process. Believe in LAC & no change in LAC. But June 15...
China targeted our forces. Our forces responded with valour in difficult circumstances. Where calm was required it was shown where valour was required it was displayed. India wants peace at LAC. 3 principles
1. Peace
2. Don't change status quo
3. Follow laid down agreements...
29th Aug China again violated protocol. 1993 & 1996 agreement violated. India followed agreements. Thus face off. Violent conduct of Chinese forces violation of all agreement. Goghra KongkaLa PangongTso remain friction points. India has done counter deployment. Proud of our force
Sensitive situation on ground. Am convinced forces protecting borders. India working extensively on border infrastructure. Better logistical support to our forces & for better response on ground. Want peaceful resolution of issue. Met chinese defence minister in Moscow.
We are determined to protect sovereignty & territorial integrity. Complete disengagement possible if Chinese honest about commitment during foreign minister's meet at Moscow.Ready to deal with any eventuality: @rajnathsingh in Parliament. House has faith in valour of armed forces
