India counters "aggressive behaviour" of military troops deployment by China in Eastern Ladakh

FOOLS_NIGHTMARE · Oct 1, 2021

India on Thursday hit out at China for blaming it for the eastern Ladakh standoff, while stating that the ‘provocative’ behaviour and ‘unilateral’ attempts by the Chinese army to alter the status quo gave rise to the serious disturbance of peace and tranquillity in the region.

Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said, "It was the amassing of a large number of troops by the Chinese side, their provocative behaviour and unilateral attempts to alter status quo in contravention of all our bilateral agreements that resulted in the serious disturbance of peace and tranquillity along the LAC in eastern Ladakh.”

"China continues to deploy a large number of troops and armaments in the border areas. It was in response to Chinese actions that our armed forces had to make appropriate counter deployments in these areas to ensure that India's security interests are fully protected,’ he further stated.

Referring to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar’s message to his Chinese counterpart at a meeting in Dushanbe earlier this month, Bagchi said that it is India’s expectation that the Chinese side will work towards an early resolution of the remaining issues along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh while fully abiding by bilateral agreements and protocols.

India’s reaction came following China’s fresh allegation that the ‘root cause’ of tensions between both the countries was government following a ‘forward policy’ and ‘illegally’ encroaching Chinese territory.

Rejecting the allegation by saying such statements that have “no basis in facts” Bagchi added that India already made its position clear a few days ago.

It is to be mentioned that the border standoff between the Indian and Chinese armies erupted in May last year following a violent clash in the Pangong lake area.
