China mobilised huge battalions at LAC: Rajnath

September 15, 2020 15:37

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh addresses Parliament on the India-China border issue. Highlights:

"Both India and China agree that to maintain peace and tranquility in the India-China border areas, it is essential for the further development of bilateral relations.

"India and China border issue remains unresolved. Till now, there has been no mutually acceptable solution. China disagrees on border. China doesn't recognise the traditional and customary alignment of the boundary. We consider that this alignment is based on well established geographical principals.

"We have told China through diplomatic channels that the attempts to unilaterally alter the status quo were in violation of the bilateral agreements.

"Violent conduct of Chinese troops is a violation of all past agreements. Our troops have done counter deployments in the area to safeguard our borders.

China has mobilised a huge number of Army battalions and armaments along LAC & inner areas. There are many friction points in eastern Ladakh, Gogra, Kongka La, Pangong Lake's north & south banks. Indian Army has made counter deployments in these areas.

"I want to assure you that we are ready to deal with any situation. I request this house to pass a resolution that we stand shoulder to shoulder with our armed forces who are guarding our borders to safeguard India's sovereignty and integrity."
