Indian PM meets military top brass as Chinese President asks military to prepare for war

President Xi asked the army to “safeguard the overall strategic stability of the country”, while Modi said border roads will continue to be built.

Beijing/New Delhi (Agencies): Chinese President Xi Jinping’s exhortation to the military to “comprehensively strengthen the training of troops and prepare for war” is expected to be a big boost to the morale of China’s commanders on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh region on the Sino-Indian border.

But at the time, the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met service chiefs and the National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval and pledged that border roads will be developed even it irks the Chinese.

Xi’s statement came at a time when troops of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China had intruded 3-4 km into Indian territory in Ladakh and also established makeshift camps with arrangements for use of heavy military equipment.

Soldiers from the two sides have been engaged in fights using sticks and iron rods. They are not allowed to fire bullets under a peace agreement between the two countries.

Meanwhile in New Delhi, the military brass is learnt to have apprised Modi about the evolving situation in eastern Ladakh, though officials maintained that the agenda of the pre-scheduled meeting was to discuss the ambitious military reforms and ways to boost India’s combat prowess.

The meeting came hours after the top four generals briefed Defense Minister Rajnath Singh about the situation in Pangong Tso lake, Galwan Valley, Demchok and Daulat Beg Oldi where the Indian and Chinese troops were engaged in aggressive posturing for the last 20 days.

Chinese troops on the ground in Ladakh region are expected to see in Xi’s aggressive statement an encouragement for their activities and try to push further into Indian territory.

Official sources said National Security Advisor Doval has been closely monitoring the evolving situation along the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh as well as in north Sikkim and Uttarakhand.

“China’s strategy to put military pressure on India will not work. We want restoration of the status quo along the LAC,” said an Indian official on the condition of anonymity.

Official sources said India will not stop infrastructure development projects in strategic areas along the nearly 3,500-km Sino-India border, notwithstanding China’s well-coordinated efforts to stall them by attempting to vitiate the situation in areas like eastern Ladakh.

It is learnt that the Indian defense minister has already conveyed to top military brass that there is no need for reviewing the implementation of any of the key projects along the LAC in Ladakh, Sikkim, Uttarakhand or in Arunachal Pradesh.

In view of the nearly 20-day standoff between the two sides, the Indian Army has significantly ramped up its presence in sensitive border areas in North Sikkim, Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh besides Ladakh to send across a message that India will not be wilting under any aggressive military posturing by China, the sources said.

The Chinese side has been particularly peeved at India laying a key road in the finger area of Pangong Tso Lake region besides another road connecting the Darbuk-Shayok-Daulat Beg Oldie road in Galwan Valley.

The situation in eastern Ladakh deteriorated after around 250 Chinese and Indian soldiers were engaged in a violent face-off on the evening of May 5 which spilled over to the next day before the two sides agreed to “disengage” following a meeting at the level of local commanders.

Over 100 Indian and Chinese soldiers were injured in the violence. The trigger for the incident was China’s strong objection to the road being laid by India in the Finger area in Pangong Tso lake.

The incident in Pangong Tso was followed by a similar incident in North Sikkim on May 9.

Since then, Chinese military has increased its strength in Pangong Tso lake, Galwan Valley, Demchok and Daulat Beg Oldi, and resorting to “aggressive patrolling” in these areas. The India Army is also carrying out similar exercise in the region, sources said.

India last week said the Chinese military was hindering normal patrolling by its troops and asserted that India has always taken a very responsible approach towards border management.

At a media briefing, External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Anurag Srivastava also strongly refuted China’s contention that the tension was triggered due to trespassing by Indian forces on the Chinese side.

India’s response came two days after China accused the Indian Army of trespassing into its territory, claiming that it was an “attempt to unilaterally change the status” of the LAC in Sikkim and Ladakh.

On May 5, the Indian and Chinese army personnel clashed with iron rods, sticks, and even resorted to stone-pelting in the Pangong Tso lake area in which soldiers on both sides sustained injuries.

In a separate incident, nearly 150 Indian and Chinese military personnel were engaged in a face-off near Naku La Pass in the Sikkim sector on May 9. At least 10 soldiers from both sides sustained injuries.

The troops of India and China were engaged in a 73-day stand-off in Doklam tri-junction in 2017 which even triggered fears of a war between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
