After watching Shekar Gupta’s Off the Cuff with Ashley Tellis, I wonder whether the government of the day, with its political rhetoric has made the lives of armed forces more difficult. In a region where admittedly the boundaries are not marked, it seems highly rhetorical to speak not giving up even an inch of land. Who is to decide which inch is India’s? On the other hand, I think, the government should have given a broader mandate to the armed forces to broadly defend Indian territory, instead of defending “every inch of it”. Can the army and border forces guard every inch of 4000 km long border with China?

Stop spreading lies. On June 19, Modi clearly said that no one has intruded in our territory, so there is no question of the status quo being restored. These type of lies masquerading as news is spread to tarnish the image of Modi who is the most powerful leader in the whole world. He is the GREATEST leader ever to have ruled India
Greatest leader why not he speaks about Chinese intrusion. What for our army is deployed if Chinese are not intruded. They have encroached 975 square kilometers after April may 2020 as per intelligence report. Vajpayee admitted kargil intrusion and modiji has no courage to admit the Chinese intrusion. He simply talks!
