1. Exceptionally hard statements by the MEA now on China as follows: ''Our statement of 20th June provided the relevant facts and clearly established it has been the Chinese actions thus far which have led to increase in tension in the region and also to the violent face-off.''
2. ''In early May, the Chinese side had taken action to hinder India's normal, traditional patrolling pattern in the Galwan Valley area.''
3. ''In mid-May, the Chinese side sought to change the status quo in other areas of the Western Sector.''
4. '... the Chinese side departed from these understandings in respect of the LAC in the Galwan Valley area and sought to erect structures just across the LAC.''
5. ''At the heart of the matter is that since early May, the Chinese side has been amassing a large contingent of troops and armaments along the LAC.''
6. ''The Indian side has never undertaken any actions across the LAC and has never attempted to unilaterally change the status quo.''
7. ''While there have been occasional departures in the past, the conduct of Chinese forces this year has been in complete disregard of all mutually agreed norms.''
8. ''The deployment of large body of troops and changes in behavior has also been aggravated by unjustified and untenable claims. The recent shift in the Chinese position on the Galwan Valley is one example.''
9. ''A continuation of the current situation would only vitiate the atmosphere for the development of the relationship.''
