Defense Minister Rajnath Singh strongly reiterated that India had not conceded even an inch of its land to China while he made a statement in the Rajya Sabha on the current situation in eastern Ladakh on Thursday. Apprising the Upper House of the military and diplomatic level talks between India and China post the violent Galwan Valley clashes, the Raksha Mantri noted that both sides had mutually agreed for disengagement of troops from the north and south of the Pangong lake. Further, Rajnath Singh informed that both India and China would initiate the process of withdrawing the forward deployment of their troops in a phased, coordinated, and verified manner.

Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh informed that adequate counter deployments were made by India after many friction areas arose in Eastern Ladakh around the LAC. Lauding the brave efforts of the Indian Armed Forces personnel, Rajnath Singh noted that they had displayed valour and had steadily faced challenges in the north and south banks of the Pangong lake. He further noted that the Indian Army was guarding the borders at Ladakh while being positioned in inaccessible hills and in sub-zero conditions and said that it provided an edge to India.

"Let me briefly recapitulate the main aspects of the situation on the ground. As the House is aware, China illegally occupied approximately 38,000 sq. kms in the Union Territory of Ladakh, mainly during the 1962 conflict. In addition, under the so-called Sino-Pakistan ‘Boundary Agreement’ of 1963, Pakistan illegally ceded 5,180 sq. kms. of Indian territory in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir to China. China, thus is in illegal occupation of more than 43,000 sq. kms of Indian territory. It also claims approximately 90,000 sq. kms. of Indian territory in the Eastern Sector of the India-China boundary in Arunachal Pradesh. India has never accepted this illegal occupation of our territory or the unjustified claims", Rajnath Singh pointed out.
