Congress MP Adhir Rahan Chowdhury on Friday sought in the Lok Sabha a clarification from the Government on the status of army’s positioning on Kailash range on the Line of Control in Ladakh border following the de-escalation agreement with China.
Raising the issue during the zero hour, Chowdhury asked the defence minister to clarify about the status in the Depsang region where he alleged China had moved 18 kms inside Indian territory.
The Congress MP asked whether the Indian army will withdraw from heights of Kailash range which they had tactically “seized” during the stand-off along the LAC. “Are we to keep this advantage? Any give and take policy,” he asked.
Chowdhury asked what is the Government’s way to remove China from Depsang ?
The Congress MP was interrupted by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Arjun Meghwal who said the Defence Minister has given a statement and the member should be proud of the country’s defence forces.
