Galwan Valley clash: Neither is anyone inside Indian territory, nor has any post been captured, says Narendra Modi at all-party meeting

Firstpost  

At an all-party meeting, Modi said the soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice taught a “lesson” to those who had dared to look towards India and that the army has been given “freedom” to take necessary steps. New Delhi: Neither is anyone inside our territory nor has any Indian post been captured, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday on the six-week border standoff with China as he briefed prominent political leaders about the killing of 20 soldiers in the Galwan Valley that triggered a massive escalation in tensions between the two countries. Assuring all the leaders that armed forces were fully capable of protecting the country’s borders, Modi said, “While on the one hand, the army has been given freedom to take necessary steps, India has also conveyed its position clearly to China through diplomatic means.” He added that India today has such capability that no one can even dare to look towards “an inch of our land”. The prime minister’s comment that Indian soldiers taught a “lesson” to those who dared to look towards India is seen as reference to casualties on the Chinese side. Pawar, a former defence minister said diplomatic channels should be used to defuse the tension, adding Chinese troops must be “evacuated” from the high ground in the Galwan valley.
