China’s claim over Galwan Valley ‘exaggerated and untenable’, asserts MEA

Taking sturdy exception to China claiming sovereignty over the Galwan Valley in Ladakh, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Anurag Srivastava on Wednesday (June 18) mentioned that these “exaggerated and untenable claims” are opposite to the understanding reached between the 2 nations to resolve the border challenge.

“As we have conveyed earlier today, External Affairs Minister and the State Councillor and Foreign Minister of China had a phone conversation on recent developments in Ladakh,” Srivastava mentioned.

“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 mentioned.

Earlier on Wednesday, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar spoke along with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on cellphone and mentioned that the “unprecedented” incident within the Galwan Valley could have a “serious impact” on the bilateral relationship. He informed Wang that the “pre-meditated” motion by Chinese military led to the martyrdom of 20 Indian Army personnel. 

In a associated growth, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday (June 17) determined to convene an all-party digital meet on June 19 to debate the scenario on the India-China border, in addition to giving a transparent message that the sacrifice of Indian troopers killed within the Galwan Valley conflict in Ladakh won’t go in useless.

In the digital assembly, PM Modi will get the opinion of all of the events and make them conscious of the choices of the federal government following the sacrifice of 20 Indian Army personnel together with a Colonel within the conflict with Chinese troops within the Galwan Valley in jap Ladakh on Monday evening. 

The martyrdom of 20 Indian Army personnel in Galwan Valley has severely hit the Sino-India relationship. Since 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping met one another almost 18 instances. PM Modi has to date visited China 5 instances and is the primary Indian Prime Minister to go to China so many instances within the final 70 years.
