Indian Govt denies & Army downplays ‘intrusion’ by Chinese troops

While the Army downplayed reports on Chinese intrusion in Ladakh, the government on Monday denied that any such incident had taken place.

Reacting to the reports about Chinese troops’ intrusion in the Demchok area of Leh district in J&K, Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao said, “We have time and again said that there are differences in perception of the Line of Actual Control in this segment... As far as this particular incident, we are not aware of specific transgression....”

The MEA said, “Government has seen media reports alleging Chinese troop intrusion in the Demchok area of Leh district in Jammu and Kashmir. These reports are baseless and do not conform to fact.”

Army Chief General V K Singh said, “Unfortunately, some people for various local gains have pushed construction activity in that area. We patrol up to our perception of the LAC which is further east of this (the area reported to have been transgressed) and the Chinese come to the LAC as perceived by them... I am quite sure on the Chinese side also they would call it a transgression when our patrols go up to our line of perception.”

Even if there are any Incursions, Both the sides cannot claim it as one, as we do not share a Boundary or a Particular LOC, its all drawn based on each others assumptions, So Until and Otherwise there is a Common International Border We cannot call it as an Incursion....

THANK YOU. Oh my god, you have no idea how long I've been trying to make this point. Both side merely assume a LOC and understandably they will overlay in places.
