TIL Desk/World/Beijing/ China’s foreign ministry on Tuesday claimed that Indian troops blatantly fired “warning shots” at its border patrolling troops who were there for consultation, following which the Chinese troops were compelled to take measures to stabilise the situation.
The Indian Army however denied the claim and put out a statement stating that “at no stage has the Indian Army transgressed across the Line of Actual Control or resorted to use of any aggressive means, including firing.”
It also said that Chinese PLA troops had fired in air while attempting to close in on Indian positions across LAC in eastern Ladakh on Monday night and that the Indian soldiers had exercised great restraint.
“On September 7, Indian troops illegally crossed the LAC and entered the south bank of Pangong Tso. Indian troops blatantly fired warning shots at our border patrolling troops who were there for consultation. Our troops were compelled to take measures to stabilise the situation,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said at a press conference in Beijing.
