TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ India on Wednesday took strong exception to China claiming sovereignty over the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh, saying its “exaggerated and untenable claims” are contrary to the understanding reached on the issue between the two sides.
Ministry of external affairs spokesperson Anurag Srivastava’s response came after China claimed that the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh is a part of its territory. “As we have conveyed earlier today, the external affairs minister and the state councillor and foreign minister of China had a phone conversation on recent developments in Ladakh,” Srivastava said late Wednesday night.
“Both sides have agreed that the overall situation should be handled in a responsible manner and that the understandings reached between Senior Commanders on 6th June should be implemented sincerely. Making exaggerated and untenable claims is contrary to this understanding,” he said.
