(PTI):A day after reports claimed that China has violated the international border in the Ladakh region, Beijing on Monday categorically denied that its Army had intruded into Indian territory.
Reports of incursions are groundless. Incursions into India never happened, Chinese Foreign Ministry was quoted as saying by a news channel. We will seek a friendly solution to the issue through negotiations, the Chinese added.
The clarification was necessitated following reports, quoting official sources, claimed that the Chinese troops entered nearly 1.5 kilometres into India near Mount Gya in the Chumar sector, recognised as International border by India and China in Ladakh.
Moreover, the intruders painted China in Cantonese with Red spray paint on boulders and rocks in the area. The 22,420 ft Mount Gya, also known as fair princess of snow by Army is located at the tri-junction of Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir, Spiti in Himachal Pradesh, and Tibet. Its boundary was marked during the British era and regarded as International border by the two countries.
The border patrol discovered the red paint markings on various rocks and boulders along the Zulung La (pass) on July 31 and the Chinese had entered into the area and written China and China all over the place, the sources said. However, when asked to comment on the issue, Indian Army spokesperson declined to answer any queries regarding this, saying it was an operational matter.
Though the spokesperson refused to answer further questions, senior Army officials said the issue was being downplayed as three of its Generals were currently in Beijing and Lhasa under an exchange programme. This incident was viewed with seriousness by the officials as the Chinese have made foray into these areas for the first time since Independence and sprayed the area with red marking as deep as 1.5 to 1.7 kilometres of the Indian territory.
The border forces talked to the locals located along the border in Ladakh and Spiti from where they came to know about the incursions by the Peoples Liberation Army of China in this area.
Indo-China border one of the most peaceful: MEA
New Delhi, Sep 7 (PTI) : Notwithstanding the incidents of Chinese aggression, Ministry of External Affairs today described as most peaceful the boundary with China and said these incursions will be certainly sorted out. Let me go on record to say that this (border with China) has been one of the most peaceful boundaries that we have had as compared to other boundary lines with other countries, Minister for External Affairs S M Krishna told reporters. He was asked about the incidents of China violating Indias airspace and International Border.
Noting that the country has a very long border of over 3000 km with China, Krishna said there is a built-in mechanism which is in place and which takes care of such incursions. With China, I think the boundary has been one of the most peaceful. So, there is no issue on that. There is no problem on that.
Chinese Foreign ministry on Monday said reports of yet another Chinese incursion into India are groundless. The Chinese Foreign Ministry said: Reports of any incursion into India are groundless and based on incidents which never happened.
The statement further claimed that Beijing seeks a fair and mutually understandable solution through a peaceful and friendly negotiation between both the Asian giants.
