Defence Minister Rajnath Singh reads out statement in Parliament, saying violent conduct of Chinese forces has been in complete violation of all agreed norms.
A big challenge will be China’s willingness to put its words about wanting peace into action, especially with Communist Party plenary around the corner.
Hours before trying to push in 1,000 soldiers near Pangong Tso on 28 August, Chinese PLA had called Indian Army to avoid escalatory action and night patrolling.
Diplomats and analysts say though the Jaishankar-Wang Yi meet might end in stalemate like Rajnath’s meeting with Wei Fenghe, India must keep talking to China.
China issued a statement, saying the ‘responsibility lies entirely with India’ and hoped India ‘will strictly abide by the series of agreements reached by the two sides’.
Foreign Secretary Harsh V. Shringla says there will be no compromise ‘on our sovereignty and territorial integrity’, but India is always willing to talk & ready to engage.
It is clear that the situation witnessed in the past four months is a result of the actions taken by China that sought to effect unilateral change of status quo, says MEA.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
Rajnath Singh is a RSS appointee and a first class incompetent.
During the Pathankot airbase attack, Rajnath appeared on TV quivering on the first day; he announced the army had given muh thod jawab. The encounter went on for 7 days !
The BJP has incompetents starting from their chowkidar.
‘It is so obvious that the more we concentrate on the military gaps the country will have to make sacrifices in other areas like health education etc.’
Every Hindu wants Indians to make sacrifices in education and health – after migrating to America.
‘Let us at least accept that there is a serious attempt at arresting the corruption in defense deals.’
I do not accept that. The Rafale was a scam. 36 aircraft for price of 125. Failed businessman Anil Ambani was given public money cut from the defence deal to build a new business.
The RSS-BJP is ruling and they have only one agenda : Hindu-Muslim conflict. Everything else is non-priority. We see the result.
Gather the RM stated yesterday in LS that the Chinese keeps occupying 38,000 Sq km of our territory.
Now, if the Chinese were occupying 38,000 sq km before April also [this must be well documented], then there is no difference between what the PM told the all party meeting on Jun 19 and the aforesaid statement of the RM in LS. AND many questions/ doubts of the opposition/ general public gets resolved.
On the other hand, if the Chinese were occupying less than 38,000 sq km before April, then it would be a pointer to the fact that the PM was economical with TRUTH on Jun 19.
The statement conceals more than it reveals. Stating the extent of ingress by China would not compromise any operational issues. Satellite pictures have revealed the true state of affairs but the government is protecting its leader’s “image”.
It is somewhat strange when headlines are made of “Govt admits Ladakh ‘challenge’ in Lok Sabha,” this smells of an implied meaning that the present dispensation is responsible for whatever is happening on the Chinese border.
The difference in military and economic capacities of China and India were obvious and known since 1962. We have been in the process of bridging that gap is also known. It is so obvious that the more we concentrate on the military gaps the country will have to make sacrifices in other areas like health education etc.
Let us at least accept that there is a serious attempt at arresting the corruption in defense deals.
When you know you are wearing a torn trouser what is point in shouting from the rooftop that your but is exposed.
ARE WE NOT RUNNING DOWN OURSELVES?

You are just a starry eyed Hindu bhakth.
