The violent face off between Indian Army soldiers and Chinese PLA at Galwan valley PP 14 yesterday night n this afternoon has resulted in extremely tense situation after it was found that India has lost its 20 soldiers which included a Colonel rank commanding officer Santosh of Bihar Regiment.

According to the authentic sources reported in media about 43 Chinese PLA soldiers n officers have also been killed and grievously wounded keeping Indian Army’s morale on the upper side. In the afternoon it was revealed that only three armymen were martyred which included two soldiers and a commanding officer. According to the Chinese official mouth piece Global Times then, five PLA soldiers were reported to have been killed in these violent physical clashes and 11 soldiers grievously injured.

But by night 8.00 PM it was disclosed from the authentic Indian Army sources that twenty brave hearts of Indian Army were martyred n subsequently 43 Chinese PLA soldiers killed n injured in these violent clashes yesterday night when serious efforts were in progress between the Major Generals of India n China at PP 14 Galwan valley to de- escalate military ( forces) from both the sides.

According to the latest news pouring in the erroneous expansionist Chinese soldiers with iron roads, and sticks fitted with nails n barb wires, knives etc entered Indian territory in Galwan valley and started arbitrary physical violence which was bravely n strongly retaliated by India army soldiers with 20 martyred and 43 Chinese PLA soldiers killed n grievously injured.

There was tension all around. The deceitful n betrayal China has always been doing back stabbing since 1962, always eyeing on Indian territories.

It has already on May 5 n May 6 entered the India side of LAC and arbitrarily attacked the Indian Army by encouraging physical violence strongly retaliated by Indian Army troopers.

This was the third pre meditated attempt by PLA while peaceful resolution of the vexed issue was being resolved at Galwan Valley PP 14 via Major General level parleys between India n China.

The Indian Defence minister Rajnath Singh immediately convened an urgent meeting with the three chiefs of Army, Navy n Airforce n the CDS chief Vipin Rawat.

Later on the Defence minister acquainted the prime minister Narendra Modi of the latest situation in detail n also briefed him about the significant decisions taken in the meeting with the three chiefs of Air, Army n Navy including the CDS chief Vipin Rawat.

The foreign secretary Jaishankar Prasad was also present in this high level meeting. It is believed that India has unanimously pledged to take on China with a heavy hand but also using diplomatic channels to resolve the issue peacefully n if need be at the highest political levels between both the top leaders of China n India.

Earlier, according to the Global Times Chinese foreign minister has said that there had been no firing from either sides and the confrontations were the physical clashes. It also declared that the Chinese side wanted a peaceful resolution of the crisis through bilateral parleys.

However, Indian side very well know of the betrayal character of expansionist China. In 2017 the 78 days of stand off between China n India was also the creation of China when it was trying to capture the Doklam area which was under the jurisdiction of Bhutan and India intervened to dispel Chinese illegally building road n thus trying to arbitrarily invade n capture the Doklam territory.

The stand off was resolved after 78 days of tremendous diplomatic and Army level exercises including two important visits of Prime minister Narendra Modi and NSa Ajit Doval to China holding several high level parleys followed by the mutual visits of Modi n Xi Jingping to China n India.

The Galvan Valley, Pangong Tso and DAULAT OLDIE Road are three main LAC areas where the Chinese PLA under the instruction from the top leadership are creating deliberate hurdles by trying to stop our road construction n damaging Chowkies including transgressing it several kilometres inside n physically clashing with Indian soldiers. Brave Indian Army soldiers have bravely fought with the PLA n after sacrificing 20 soldiers killed n grievously injured about 43 Chinese soldiers n officers. Jai Hind.
