India, China talk past each other on Depsang and Demchok | Latest News India

Published by Webster

New Delhi: The 17th round of India-China Corps Commander level meeting last Tuesday was an anodyne affair with no forward movement recorded as the PLA stuck to its position on restoring patrolling rights to Indian Army in Depsang Plains, south of Daulet Beg Oldi, and Charding Ninglung Nullah (CNN) junction south of Demchok in East Ladakh. It is understood that while the Chinese commander talked about normalization of the East Ladakh LAC, the Indian side talked about de-escalation of troops, tanks, artillery, and rocket systems that both sides had deployed post May 2020 belligerence by the PLA troops on Galwan, Gogra-Hot Springs, and north banks of Pangong Tso. While there has been disengagement on all these points, the East Ladakh LAC is packed with troops on both sides for three consecutive winters and possibility of a local flare up and subsequent horizontal escalation cannot be ruled out.

Sonia leads Opposition protest in House on India-China standoff | Latest News India

Published by Webster

Congress Parliamentary Party chief Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday posed a number of questions on the government’s approach to Chinese incursions along the LAC (line of actual control) even as Opposition parties continued to protest, demanding a debate on the border situation. “Why is China emboldened to continually attack us? What preparations have been made to repel these attacks, and what more needs to be done? What is the government’s policy to deter China from future incursions? Given that we continue to have a severe trade deficit with China, importing far more than we export, why is there no economic response to China’s military hostility? What is the government’s diplomatic outreach to the global community?” Sonia Gandhi said in her address to the CPP meeting. “The continuing incursions by China on our border is a matter of serious concern. The whole nation stands with our vigilant soldiers who repelled these attacks under difficult conditions. The government, however, stubbornly refuses to allow a discussion on the issue in Parliament. As a result, Parliament, political parties and the …
