Chinese up to 18 km inside LAC
Senior Congress leader and former Minister of State for Defence Pallam Raju on Friday claimed that Chinese troops had occupied Indian territory up to 18 km inside of the Line of Actual Control in the Depsang plains.
New Delhi: Senior Congress leader and former Minister of State for Defence Pallam Raju on Friday claimed that Chinese troops had occupied Indian territory up to 18 km inside of the Line of Actual Control in the Depsang plains.
Pallam Raju said: "In an alarming threat to our national security and territorial integrity, China has now occupied our territory up to 18 km inside the LAC, in the Depsang plains, up to the Y-Junction or the bottleneck, as per multiple reports." "The Chinese forces are now 7 km short of the Ladakhi town of Burtse, on the Darbuk-Shyok-Daulat Beg Oldie Road. Reports also suggest that China has come as close as 25 km from the crucial airstrip of Daulat Beg Oldie (DBO), that is within their artillery range," Raju added.
"The Chinese had made incursions in Depsang plains in 2013 also. The then UPA government stood firm and ensured the withdrawal of the Chinese forces to reclaim our LAC. The current government unfortunately refuses to even acknowledge any incursion, thereby weakening the morale of our soldiers," Jitendra Singh claimed.
