The monsoon session of the Indian Parliament started yesterday, on the 14th of September. On the second day of the proceedings, 15th September, Union Defence Minister is speaking on the tensions at the Line of Actual Control.
In the parliament, Rajnath Singh said, “On June 15, there was a violent faceoff in Galwan in which our soldiers sacrificed their lives, but it also inflicted losses on the Chinese. Amid the difficult times, our army is keeping safe. There should be no doubt on India’s determination. We want resolution through dialogue,” said Rajnath Singh. He added, “We want peaceful resolution to the standoff. Key principles are to respect the LAC and not change the status quo. All agreements need to be respected.”
He also pointed out that China is not accepting the customary and peripheral alignment of the border. The Defense Minister also said that all necessary supplies have been given to the Indian Army to ensure their safety as well as give them every advantage in the standoff.
