TIL Desk/National/Jammu/ Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday said the government will never let the sanctity of India’s borders be violated and talks are going on at military and diplomatic levels with China to resolve issues in a peaceful manner.
Addressing a national security conclave here, Singh said there have been perceptional differences between India and China on the boundary issue for a long time. “I want to repeat that there have been some activities on the LAC since 2013, but I outrightly reject (claims) that there has been any significant change or encroachment on the LAC after our government was formed,” Singh said.
Paying glowing tributes to soldiers martyred in Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh in 2020, the minister said the Chinese Army ignored the agreed protocols and unilaterally tried to make some changes on the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
He lauded the valour and dedication of the Indian Army which foiled attempts by the Chinese PLA to change status quo and said the country will remain indebted to the brave soldiers for their sacrifice and their courageous feat in Galwan will be remembered with pride by future generations.
