Reply to Sonia Gandhi Questions on India China Standoff
Today Congress Party President Mrs Sonia Gandhi put some questions in front of indian govt at all party meeting , i tried finding answers to those questions and found that govt has already answered all the questions , except the tactical and strategic which obviously is classified and never revealed on public domain . Everything is available , its just that information is scattered . so i thought of answering her questions one by one .
To understand the conflict its important to know this
The most recent confrontations have taken place in four main points along the LAC: Pangong Lake, the Galwan River valley, the Hotsprings/Gogra area along the Ladakh border, and near Naku La in Sikkim. While they seemed to have been resolved through bilateral dialogue over the past few weeks, the situation along the northern banks of Pangong Lake in Ladakh, where the confrontations started, remains tense.
Chinese and Indian claims overlap significantly in this part of the LAC, but neither side officially acknowledges the extent of their overlapping claims along Pangong Lake. India colloquially describes the disputed area as ‘Fingers’ in reference to eight successive outcroppings of land into the lake, and asserts that the LAC starts at Finger 8, while the Chinese claim that it starts at Finger 2, which India dominates. At the beginning of the year, India’s most advanced post was located at Finger 3, while China’s was at Finger 8. Both sides regularly patrolled the area between Fingers 4 and 8 in support of their claims, but neither had occupied it permanently.
NOW LETS ANSWER SONIA GANDHI QUESTIONS
On which date did the Chinese troops intrude into our territory in
Ladakh?"
China was never able to intrude even an inch in Indian Territory , and this has categorically been told by our prime minister they just came close to LAC to put pressure on India to stop infrastructure
development in border area within Indian territory. our brave hearts lost there life and killed 45 PLA
soldiers to save Indias territorial integrity , they never let china intrude even
an inch of out territory.
When did the government find out about the Chinese transgressions
into our territory?" and "Was it on May 5th, as reported, or earlier?
Source - Tribune India
India got the intelligence report of Chinese
movement in April end , that why troops were ready to meet them at Pangong
Tso and at Naku La in North
Sikkim. Where the scuffle happened on 5th and 6th may, as
told in answer of previous question, china
was never allowed transgression in our country.
"Does the government not receive, on a regular basis, satellite
pictures of the borders of our country?""Did our external intelligence agencies not report any unusual
activity along the LAC?"
As already told in previous answer India
keeps a strong watch on developments at its borders. It got the intelligence report and satellite
pictures of Chinese movement in April end , that why troops were ready to meet
them at Pangong Tso and at Naku La
in North Sikkim. Where the scuffle happened on 5th and 6th
may, intelligence reports are not shared publicly or on twitter.
SOME SATELLITE PICTURES OF CHINESE BUILD UP
Did the Military Intelligence not alert the government about the
intrusion and the build-up of massive forces along the LAC, whether on the
Chinese side or on the Indian side?"
This question is again of same nature as
previous questions, Indian intelligence is as good as never before, and india
got the intelligence information in advance of build up of troops on Chinese side
, as regarding “on the Indian side”
, i reiterate Indian soldiers never allowed china to intrude
even an inch of Indian territory .
"In the
government's considered view, was there a failure of intelligence?"
No not at all , intelligence did very good work and India got the information at right time and so indian defense forces took action at right time, had India didn't got the intelligence at right time and Chinese would have been able to occupy strategic heights another kargil like war would have been happening right now.
REASON OF CONFLICT
It was a road construction by India that triggered the recent face off in Ladakh leading to a violent clash between Indian and Chinese troops which left many injured on both sides earlier this month.
watch this vedio to know more about this indo china border project
With a troop build-up on the Chinese side, India also enhanced its defences. The army maintained that things have calmed and there is no face off in Eastern Ladakh now.
The Chinese had been objecting to a critical road construction project north of Pangong Tso (lake) that became a flashpoint. The contentious road was well within the Indian territory and far from the Chinese claim, the sources added.
“The Indian stand was that just like the Chinese have built a road in the area under their control we can do it on our side,”
Another official privy to the developments said the Chinese had been exerting pressure to stop work on the road for some time but as the construction continued, it resulted in a face off.
With the recent skirmish being a result of infrastructure building by India close to the Line of Actual Control (LAC), the focus could shift to several other road works in areas. These constrictions could become potential flash points as India has been enhancing infrastructure in remote areas.
Finally I would like to tell that this
all confrontation is a result of congress party not developing infrastructure in
border with china , which is eminent by the speech of your own defense minister
Mr. Antony.
Here's the complete timeline of how the tension escalated between both countries before
6th June 2020
Late April:
The tension regarding the boundary issue between India and China started building up.
May 5 and May 6:
Scuffles at Pangong Tso and at Naku La in North Sikkim
Chinese troops moved in in large numbers with vehicles and equipment objecting to road construction by India and have also pitched tents
Chinese troops are close to Finger 2 area of Pangong Tso area and were blocking indias movement forward. The Pangong Tso is 135 km long and 5-7 km in width of which about one-third is held by India while the rest is held by China.
After the scuffle on May 5, both sides moved in additional troops and are entrenched there.
12 May:
The Chinese military helicopters were seen flying close to the Line of Actual Control on at least a couple of occasions after which a fleet of Su-30 fighters of the Indian Air Force too were sent to carry our sorties in the area. Additional troops were also rushed into the site following the fracas.
23 May:
Army Chief General Manoj Naravane visited the Leh-based 14 Corps headquarters to review the overall situation on the ground.
26 May:
Chinese President Xi Jinping directed China’s armed forces to strengthen training of troops and to be ready for war.
State media reports quoted the Chinese premier as saying that it was important to “comprehensively strengthen the training of troops and prepare for war”, “resolutely safeguard national sovereignty” and “safeguard the overall strategic stability of the country”.
26 May:
India's top military brass meets PM Modi amid escalating border tension with China
The meeting came hours after the top four generals briefed Defence Minister Rajnath Singh about the situation in Pangong Tso lake, Galwan Valley, Demchok and Daulat Beg Oldi where the Indian and Chinese troops were engaged in aggressive posturing for the last 20 days.
1 June:
Amid the ongoing standoff between the Indian Army and China’s People Liberation Army at several locations in eastern Ladakh, Beijing said that the overall situation along the China-India border is stable and controllable.
Chinese fighters flying 30-35 kms from Eastern Ladakh, which india watched closely
"The Chinese have kept a fleet of around 10-12 fighter aircraft stationed there at the moment and they are also carrying out flying activity close to the Indian territory. We are keeping a close eye on the movement of these J-11 and J-7 fighter aircraft,"
2 June:
US Foreign Affairs Panel Chief Slams "Chinese Aggression" Against India
Elliot Engel, chief of the US House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, said that he was "extremely concerned" by the Chinese aggression against India along the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh and urged Beijing to "respect norms and use diplomacy and existing mechanisms to resolve its border questions".
China has moved up its forces along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with India, US secretary of state Mike Pompeo said, asserting that authoritarian regimes take these kinds of actions.
6th June Development
On this day the agreement was signed between india and china which was dishonored by china on the fateful night on which our 20 soldiers got martyred
Senior military commanders of India and China held crucial talks on Saturday (June 6) in order to defuse the mounting tension along the border. The India delegation was led by Lt Gen Harinder Singh, Commander of the Leh-based 14 Corps while Major General Liu Lin, Commander of the South Xinjiang military region, led the Chinese side. The meeting was held at Moldo, opposite Chushul in eastern Ladakh.
"A meeting was held between the Corps Commander based in Leh and the Chinese Commander on 6 June 2020 in the Chushul-Moldo region. It took place in a cordial and positive atmosphere. Both sides agreed to peacefully resolve the situation in the border areas in accordance with various bilateral agreements and keeping in view the agreement between the leaders that peace and tranquility in the India-China border regions is essential for the overall development of bilateral relations," Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement on Sunday (June 7).
"Both sides also noted that this year marked the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries and agreed that an early resolution would contribute to the further development of the relationship. Accordingly, the two sides will continue the military and diplomatic engagements to resolve the situation and to ensure peace and tranquility in the border areas," added the statement.
Sources claimed that the talks did not lead to any major breakthrough but set the stage for further talks. It is learnt that during the meeting which lasted for around three hours, India asked China to reduce the mobilization of its troops near the Galwan valley and that the Chinese forces must return to their original location.
Meanwhile, China asked India to stop its road construction but Indian side clearly said that the construction is taking place inside the LAC and Beijing should not object the roadwork.
IN THE END I WOULD REQUEST SONIA MAM NOT TO WORRY ABOUT TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY OF INDIA , INDIA IS IN VERY SAFE HANDS , HAVE FAITH IN P.M.
NARENDRA MODI AND OUR DEFENSE FORCES, CHINA WONT BE ABLE TO TAKE EVEN AN INCH OF OUR LAND
