Says, be ready to deal with China, there may be conflict in many places
New Delhi: There does not seem to be any tension between the Indian and Chinese military on the Ladakh border. Despite continued Major General level talks between the two countries, the presence of troops on LAC has increased after the June 15 incident. In such a situation, General VP Malik, former Chief of the Army Staff, has warned that India should be prepared to deal with China in Ladakh, especially in the Galvan Valley, if the tensions do not subside. China is better prepared on LAC. In such a situation, some other parts of Ladakh may also face conflict.
Significantly, it was General Malik who led the Indian Army against Pakistani intruders during the Kargil War. He said that actions on China’s LAC are well-planned and it is clear from his statement that he is not in a mood to back down. Unlike previous confrontations, this time China has also deployed its heavy weapons on the border. These may also include long range missiles.
Our 20 soldiers lost their lives in a clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers in the Galvan Valley of Ladakh on Monday night. At the same time, many others were also injured.
