Gave an interview to @PTI_News on some recent developments in #India #China relations. @MEAIndia @HarshShringla @DrSJaishankar
Pointed out that maintenance of peace and tranquillity in border areas is sine qua non for progress in rest of bilateral relationship. For resolution, Chinese side needs to stop creating obstructions and hindrances in the normal patrolling patterns of Indian troops.
Chinese actions over an extended period of time are responsible for the current situation.
Whatever activities we may be carrying out have always been on our side of the LAC so the Chinese need to stop activities to alter the status quo. It is very surprising that they should attempt to do so in a sector which has never before been a sector of concern.
China’s claim of sovereignty over #Galwan Valley in Ladakh is completely untenable. These kinds of exaggerated claims are not going to help the situation.
We hope that the Chinese side will realise its responsibility in de-escalation and disengagement.
It is entirely the responsibility of the Chinese side to take a careful view of the relations and to decide in which direction the ties should move. /End
