NEW DELHI: India and China are holding flag meetings to address the issue of incursion by Chinese troops in Ladakh, external affairs minister Salman Khurshid said on Monday.

"We are still in touch and flag meetings are going on. There is more information to come. We will factor all that and then take a final view," he told reporters outside Parliament House.

The minister was asked to comment on the situation after Chinese troops entered the Indian territory in Daulat Beg Oldi (DBO) sector in eastern Ladakh and erected a tented post.

"We are addressing this issue in an appropriate manner. We just do not want any departure from proportionality. I do not think we should allow this to get beyond the immediate area and we should retain at that level and not allow it to escape that level," Khurshid said.

The issue was raised by India after the incident came to light some time ago.

A platoon-strength contingent of China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) came 10 km inside the Indian territory in Burthe in DBO sector, which is at an altitude of about 17,000 feet, on the night of April 15 and established a tented post there.

Khurshid declined to comment on the issue of "leakage" of the draft JPC report on 2G spectrum scam.

Chinese army can enjoy some idli vada, dal roti and biriyani... and IA men can enjoy some nice soups and noodles...... They may start liking each other once they enjoy the food....

OT A good move... when the right noises are made between the governments, small issues like this has to be dealt at local level....

There is a difference between defending your motherland and going looking for war. The latter category are a bunch of idiots.

Good idea! Both India and China should open restaurants there for each others patrols to have breakfast and lunch there instead of them carrying stale packed meals!

We can open a Saravana Bhavan or a Kake da dhaba and the Chinese a restaurant like Chuan Ban (川办餐厅) or The Hunan in the area! A discount of 10% can even be given if the patrols are led by officers! :lol:

You have a platoon of Ladakh Scouts tented right next to the PLA, incase they might need an assistance lighting up their Cigars.

People do get lost, u dont take arms not realizing what the ground situation is.

This message was sent by Chinese to India that they will not negotiate with joint observation of Brahmaputra due to land disputes. This was rather more a Diplo-military move, when India kept on building pressure to go forward on the proposed plan.
Not a provocation it is. And India also sent its message back that of not compromising any inch of Land.

Row with China in Ladakh will be resolved peacefully: Govt

NEW DELHI: The government is confident that the trouble with China in the Ladakh region will be resolved peacefully.

Briefing reporters on Tuesday, the ministry of external affairs attributed the trouble in Ladakh region to the difference of perceptions on the line of actual control.

The MEA has described the trouble as 'face-to-face situation', a condition which arises due to difference in perception on LAC and calls for exercise of restraint.

The govt has asked China to maintain status quo prior to this incident.

According to Times Now, Army chief Gen Bikram Singh has reached Jammu and Kashmir and will take stock of the situation.

Meanwhile, the second flag meeting between the local commanders of the two armies, which started at 10.30am, is still underway.

Local military commanders are meeting in a bid to resolve the situation arising out of the incursion by Chinese troops in Daulat Beg Oldi (DBO) sector in Ladakh.

The flag meeting is being held in Daulat Beg Oldi sector, sources said.

India had raised the issue with China last week during the first flag meeting on April 18, immediately after the incident of the Chinese incursion came to light.

Apart from summoning the Chinese ambassador to South Block, the joint secretary in MEA, who is heading the India-China joint working mechanism to deal with issues on the boundary from the Indian side, spoke to his counterpart in Beijing last week, emphasising on the need to resolve the issue.

Foreign secretary Ranjan Mathai had summoned the Chinese ambassador Wei Wei to South Block and stressed the need for resolving the issue, the sources said.

The Chinese side said they will look into the issue and respond accordingly.

However, when contacted the Chinese embassy in New Delhi reiterated the comments made by their foreign ministry spokesperson in Beijing on Monday.

Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying had said on Monday that "China's frontier troops have been abiding by the agreement between the two countries and abiding by the LAC agreed by the two countries.

"Our frontier troops have been patrolling on the China's side of LAC", Hua had said, adding, "Our troops are patrolling on the Chinese side of the LAC and have never trespassed the line".

Chinese embassy officials maintained that China is ready to work with the Indian side to further the coordination and cooperation on the issues of boundary.

A platoon-strength contingent of China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) came 10 km inside the Indian territory in Burthe in DBO sector, which is at an altitude of about 17,000 feet, on the night of April 15 and established a tented post there, according to highly placed sources.

Defence minister AK Antony had said on Monday that India will take "every step" to protect its interests to resolve the situation arising out of the incursion.
