New Delhi, 23 October (Hindustan Reporter). The Congress Party has expressed confidence that the Central Government will find an honorable solution to the Line of Actual Control (LAC) dispute that arose between India and China in 2020. Also, questions were raised citing ambiguity regarding dispute resolution.
Congress General Secretary (Communication In-charge) Jairam Ramesh issued a statement on Wednesday saying that many questions remain regarding the announcement of the agreement with China regarding the patrolling system on LAC. Now that an agreement has been reached with China, the government should take the people of the country into confidence and answer important questions.
He asked `Will Indian troops be able to patrol from our claim line at Depsang to the five patrolling points beyond the Bottleneck Junction, as they were able to do earlier? Will our soldiers be able to reach the three patrolling points in Demchok which have been out of our range for more than four years? Will our troops be limited to Finger 3 in Pangong Tso whereas earlier they could go up to Finger 8? Are our patrolling teams allowed to go to the three patrolling points in the Gogra-Hot Springs area where they could go earlier? Will Indian pastoralists once again be given access to traditional pastures at Helmet Top, Mukpa Re, Rejang La, Rinchen La, Table Top and Gurung Hill in Chushul? Are the “buffer zones” that our Government had handed over to the Chinese, including the memorial site at Rezang La to war hero and posthumous Param Vir Chakra winner Major Shaitan Singh, now a thing of the past?'
It is noteworthy that both the countries have agreed to end the military standoff on the Line of Actual Control in the Ladakh region between India and China. An agreement has been reached between the two sides on patrolling the border area, this will end face-to-face deployment on the military front. This consensus has been reached on the basis of ongoing discussions at the diplomatic and military levels for the last several months. This has now opened the way for bilateral talks between India and China.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Mistry had given this information in a press conference organized before the BRICS visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday.
