"Will Try To Go Beyond Disengagement, But...": Rajnath Singh's LAC Update | Read
The disengagement of Indian and Chinese forces near the Line of Actual Control is "almost over", Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said today. The minister said that while India wants to go "beyond disengagement", this would "take time".
"India and China have been holding talks at both diplomatic and military levels to resolve the differences in some areas along the LAC. As a result of the talks, a broad consensus was developed on the basis of equal and mutual security. The consensus includes the rights of patrolling and grazing in traditional areas. Based on this consensus, the process of disengagement is almost complete. Our efforts will be to take the matter beyond disengagement; but for that, we will have to wait a little longer," he said.
