India-China Border Face-off Latest News Live Update: The Corps Commanders of the Indian and Chinese armies are holding another round of talks at the Chushul-Moldo border personnel meeting point in eastern Ladakh to de-escalate the ongoing tension between the two countries due to the Galwan clashes last week. The first meeting between Lt General Harinder Singh, Commander of the XIV Corps with his Chinese counterpart Maj General Liu Lin, Commander of South Xinjiang Military Region, had taken place on June 6 at the same place.
Meanwhile, the BJP today responded to senior Congress leader Manmohan Singh’s letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and urged his party to “stop insulting our forces”. “Dr Manmohan Singh belongs to the same party which: Helplessly surrendered over 43,000 km of Indian territory to the Chinese!” BJP president J P Nadda tweeted.
In his letter to Modi, Singh said that the prime minister “must always be mindful of the implications of his words” and must not allow China to “use his words as a vindication of their position” on the present standoff along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
Earlier in the day, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh left for Russia for a trilateral meeting with China this morning. Moscow is emerging a key player amid the tension between New Delhi and Beijing. Over the last few weeks, Moscow has been more engaged with New Delhi.
