A military option to deal with transgressions by the Chinese Army in Ladakh is on the table, India's Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat has said, while adding that it will be exercised only if talks between the two armies and the diplomatic option fail.
CDS General Bipin Rawat told India Today that transgressions along the Line of Actual Control occur due to differing perceptions about its alignment.
"The military option to deal with the transgressions by the Chinese is still on but will be considered only if the talks at the diplomatic and military level fail," CDS General Bipin Rawat said.
India and China have held several rounds of military and diplomatic talks in the last two-and-half months but no significant headway has been made in resolution of the border row.
Last week, India and China held a fresh round of diplomatic talks to resolve the border row in Ladakh.
The sources said the assessment by the Army is that the Chinese military is not serious about the resolution of the border conflict.
"The Army is ready for a long haul along the Line of Actual Control," a military official had said earlier on the condition of anonymity.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
