India blatantly fired warning shots: China

TIL Desk/World/Washington/ The Chinese foreign ministry statement on the LAC flare-up. “On 7 September, Indian troops illegally crossed LAC and entered 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 situation.

“India’s behaviour violated agreements… It’s a serious military provocation. We’ve made representations through diplomatic and military channels asking them to immediately stop dangerous moves, withdraw people who crossed the line and discipline frontline troops,” the Chinese Foreign ministry said.

The Indian Army on Tuesday said it has not transgressed across the Line of Actual Control or resorted to use of any aggressive means including firing as it strongly rejected allegations of the China’s PLA of military provocation in eastern Ladakh.

The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) late on Monday night alleged that Indian troops crossed the LAC and “outrageously fired” warning shots near the Pangong lake in eastern Ladakh. In a statement, the Army said it was the PLA that has been blatantly violating agreements and carrying out aggressive maneuveres, while engagement at military, diplomatic and political levels is in progress.
