The failure of three months of military and diplomatic dialogue in persuading Beijing to withdraw its troops from Eastern Ladakh was underlined on Sunday when hundreds of soldiers of China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) crossed into the Indian side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) south of Pangong Tso lake, occupied a mountain called Helmet Top and began building fortifications.

 

Credible government sources say Indian soldiers from the nearby Thakung post intervened, to try and prevent the PLA from building defences. Physical clashes followed, though there are no reports of firing or casualties on either side.

 

Sources say, the PLA now occupies Helmet Top, as well as a nearby feature called Black Top, both of which are on the Indian side of the LAC. From here, Chinese soldiers can observe and track Indian movements across the Pangong lake and as far away as India’s tactically vital Chushul garrison.

 

“On the night of 29/30 August, PLA troops violated the consensus arrived at during military and diplomatic engagements…  and carried out provocative military movements to change the status quo,” said the Indian army on Monday.

 

“Indian troops pre-empted this PLA activity on the southern bank of Pangong Tso Lake, undertook measures to strengthen our positions and thwart Chinese intentions to unilaterally change facts on ground,” said the army statement.

 

“A brigade commander-level flag meeting is in progress in Chushul to resolve the issues,” it said.

 

Indian officials, however, are keeping silent about a counter operation, launched on Sunday night by soldiers of a secretive Indian commando force called the Special Frontier Force (SFF). Consisting of soldiers recruited from the Tibetan refugee community in India and formed into what are termed “Vikas battalions”, an SFF detachment is reported to have occupied key heights that China claims as their own.

 

Read the above article accusing PLA for crossing the LAC by India. Look at the map provided by the Wire, an Indian agency, look at the red line showing the LAC(line of control) and see the where the sites of contention are located. From the map, it is clear that both Helmet Top and Black Top are on the Chinese side of the LAC in the map produced by the Indians. For the Indians to be in the two sites are evidence that they have crossed the LAC into the Chinese side.

If this is a Chinese map, the Indians can claim that the LAC on the map is in the wrong place. But this is an Indian map. So, who is the liar?

 

Unbelieveable! Telling lies and producing evidence to prove and confirm their lies. The two sides of the LAC were clearly marked. The Chinese were on their sides of the LAC, the Indians crossed the LAC. Period.
