Congress leader shared a news report on his Twitter handle, where the Ministry of External Affairs and CDS Rawat reportedly had a different take on the China border issue.
The Army has made key changes to its ORBAT to tackle threat from China and is focusing on building up both punitive and deterrence capability at the LAC.
China passed ‘Land Border Law of the People's Republic of China’ on 23 October. The law deals with managing China’s land borders with greater firmness. India calls it 'unilateral'.
Indian Army General Naravane said if the Chinese military maintains the deployment through the second winter, it may lead to an LoC-like situation though not an active one.
Army Chief General M M Naravane stressed on the need for a long-term solution and said it should be the thrust of India's efforts to have lasting peace along the northern border.
Indian envoy to China Vikram Misri said India sees the current issue to be about restoring peace and tranquillity in border areas and not the resolution of the larger boundary question.
The defence minister in his speech at an event Monday also asserted that India will never allow the Chinese PLA to act on the LAC in a unilateral manner under any circumstances.
South Asia is composed of old nations in new states where nationalism is still a work in progress. Every boundary has cross-border ethnicities. These factors make our boundaries contested.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
