Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that China did not enter Indian territory and that none of the Indian posts have been occupied by anyone.
“Not an inch of our land has been lost, neither has anyone occupied our posts. Twenty of our bravehearts were martyred in Ladakh but they taught a lesson to those who eyed our country,” said PM Modi. The Prime Minister was speaking at an all-party meet held on Friday.
Further, he said that the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force is doing everything to protect the country. “Whether it is deployment, action or counter-action, I assure that our forces in the Indian Army, Navy and Airforce are doing everything to protect the country. We have given them all the freedom to take corrective measures. Today we have the capability that no one can eye even an inch of our land. The Indian forces are capable of moving together even in different sectors now,” he said.
PM Modi added that infrastructure development in Indian territory has helped make the country secure.
“In the past years, our country has focussed on the development of infrastructure in our territory to make the country more secure. We have also put importance on other requirements of our armies like fighter planes, modern helicopters and missile defence systems,” he said.
“Due to the newly built infrastructure, our patrolling capacity has increased, especially at the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Because of this, vigilance has increased and we are informed about activities on the LAC on time. Our soldiers are able to monitor and respond in areas which were neglected earlier.
Tension has increased now as we are interrogating every person on every nook and corner, which was not the case earlier,” added PM Modi.
