We are ready for any operation on LAC… Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi spoke on India-China issue
The situation on the LAC between India and China is not normal, Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi has given this information. He has explained in detail about the tension spread on the LAC. He said that the situation on the LAC is not good. This is the reason why the Indian Army is keeping an eye on the border villages of China. The Indian Army is completely alert about this. However, Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi also said that the attitude at the diplomatic level seems positive but when it has to be implemented at the ground level, then difficulties arise in it. Military commanders see from both sides. Overall, the situation on the LAC remains sensitive.
Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi says that we have to fight and co-operate with China. We want the situation to return to what it was before April 2020. Be it ground, buffer zone or patrolling. He believes that until that happens, the situation cannot be normal for us. We have to be prepared for any operation. We will keep fighting the situation.
Some cases are resolved, some remain
The Army Chief said that the biggest loss in this entire matter has been of trust. He said that many issues have been resolved but some are still pending, where talks are still going on from both sides. General Dwivedi said that apart from Depsang, Demchok, talks are also to be held on the side of the Northern Front.
Village model across LAC
Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi also said that China has built many of its villages on the other side of the LAC. The Indian Army has been alert about these villages since the beginning.
He said that the population of Tibet and China is not near the LAC. Their artificial immigration is taking place. The Army Chief said that India also has model villages. The work is going on with the cooperation of the state government, army and central government. Obviously our model villages will be better than theirs.
Removal of 370 is an important thing
Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi has also said something important about Article 370. He said that after the removal of 370, it is clear what Jammu and Kashmir means to India and what is the importance of India to Jammu and Kashmir. He said that the number of pilgrims to Amarnath has increased, tourists have increased and better development is taking place. He also said that this year so far only 2 terrorists have joined terrorist organizations whereas earlier there were more than two hundred.
Discussion on the situation of Myanmar-Manipur
Apart from this, they also discussed the situation in Myanmar and Manipur. The Army Chief said that every effort is being made to restore trust there. About 25% of the weapons have been recovered. About twice as many local weapons have also been recovered. He said that the problem in Myanmar is different. Some people are being displaced, where will they go? They are looking for peaceful places. The same is happening in Mizoram and Manipur.
