The Monsoon Session of the Parliament is coinciding with the tensions at the Ladakh border. In the Parliamentary sessions, some MPs raised concerns and questions regarding the situation, as a response to this Indian Defense Minister, Shri Rajnath Singh said, “I want to make it clear, skirmishes and face-off are because of this (issue of patrolling).”
Concerns were also raised by MPs on the Chinses side obstructing Indian patrolling, to this, the Defense Minister said, “On patrolling pattern, I want to make clear that that is the reason behind the face-off. The patrolling pattern is traditional and well defined. No power in the world can stop our jawans from patrolling. If our soldiers have made sacrifices, this is the very reason for doing so. And there will be no changes in the patrolling pattern.”
In his speech, Rajnath Singh also said that the Indian Army has displayed ‘sayyam and shaurya’ (patience and valour or bravery) while dealing with the Chinese intrusion.
No force in the world can stop Indian Armed Forces from patrolling our borders. Our brave soldiers sacrificed their lives to ensure that no change in the patrolling pattern is allowed.
