Rajnath Singh visits LAC & LoC

Earlier on Friday, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh visited the forward positions along the Line of Control (LoC) and the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and took part in joint operations at the military base in Leh and witnessed para dropping presentations by the Armed forces. Rajnath Singh also addressed the Indian Army troops and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) personnel near Pangong Tso's Lukung, where he boosted the morale of the forces and paid his respects to the lives lost in the violent Galwan valley clashes. 

Reaffirming the nation's resolve to maintain the sanctity of its borders, Rajnath Singh said that while the result of the diplomatic and military level talks with China could not be guaranteed, he could assure that not even an inch of the country's land would be taken by any power in the world. 

"Talks are underway to resolve the border dispute but to what extent it can be resolved I cannot guarantee. I can assure you, not one inch of our land can be taken by any power in the world. If a solution can be found by talks, there is nothing better," said Rajnath Singh.
