China wants creation of buffer zone inside India-claimed lines for Depsang disengagement

Firstpost  

China’s People’s Liberation Army has demanded the creation of a 15-20km buffer zone inside India-claimed lines on the strategic Depsang Plains as a precondition for disengagement, Kolkata-based The Telegraph reported, citing an official from the intelligence wing of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police. “The Chinese want a buffer zone with a width of 15-20km inside Indian territory as part of the disengagement process from the Depsang Plains,” The Telegraph quoted an official from the intelligence wing of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police as saying. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “clean chit” to China on June 19, 2020 has immeasurably weakened India’s negotiating position and it is paying a heavy price for it. He cited media reports which claimed that China has demanded the creation of buffer zone inside India-claimed lines in the Depsang Plains.
