We won’t accept any shifting of LAC: CDS General Bipin Rawat

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ China’s People’s Liberation Army is facing “unanticipated consequences” for its misadventure in eastern Ladakh because of the “firm and strong” responses by the Indian armed forces, Chief of Defence Staff Gen Bipin Rawat said on Friday.

In an address at a virtual seminar, General Rawat said the situation along the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh remained tense and that India’s posturing has been “unambiguous”.

“The situation along the LAC in eastern Ladakh remains tense and the People’s Liberation Army is facing unanticipated consequences for its misadventure in Ladakh because of firm and strong responses by Indian forces,” Gen Rawat said.

“Our posturing is unambiguous. We will not accept any shifting of the Line of Actual Control,” he asserted. Talking about the overall security calculus, Gen Rawat said border confrontations, transgressions and unprovoked tactical military actions spiralling into a larger conflict cannot be discounted.
