'Indian Army would be going to all patrolling points in Depsang': Jaishankar replies to Manish Tewari in LS

Amid the uproar in the winter session of the parliament, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, in a response to a question posed by Congress Lok Sabha MP Manish Tewari on recent disengagement with China, said, "What somebody wrote as a paper is for that somebody to answer for. Tewari quoted the paper which points out that "26 out of the 65 patrolling points from Karakoram Pass to Chumar were inaccessible to Indian security forces as a consequence of Chinese transgressions." He further asked whether the Minister could confirm to the house that after the recent disengagement, all those 26 patrolling points, which were "ostensibly inaccessible have become accessible." The minister also emphasized that the understanding between India and China will enable Indian forces to go to all the patrolling points in Depsang, adding that the forces "would be going to the eastward limit which has historically been our patrolling limit in that part."
