PM Narendra Modi yesterday (26th May 2020) met with National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat and the three service chiefs as a border tension with China in eastern Ladakh continued, media reports said. The military leaders apprised Modi about the situation in eastern Ladakh. Officials maintained that the agenda of the scheduled meeting was military reforms and improving India's combat prowess. There was no official comment or details available about the meeting. The meeting came hours after the Indian Army briefed Defence Minister Rajnath Singh about the situation in Pangong Tso lake, Galway Valley, Demchok, and Daulat Beg Oldi where Indian and Chinese troops have engaged in aggressive posturing for 20 days.
Official sources said Doval has been closely monitoring the evolving situation along the Line of Control in Ladakh as well as in north Sikkim and Uttarakhand.
"China's strategy to put military pressure on India will not work. We want restoration of the status quo along the LAC," said the official.
In the meeting, the top military brass is learnt to have apprised Modi about the implementation of key infrastructure projects along the LAC, the de-facto border with China.
In view of the nearly 20-day standoff between the two sides, the Indian Army has significantly ramped up its presence in sensitive border areas in North Sikkim, Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh besides Ladakh to send across a message that India will not be wilting under any aggressive military posturing by China, the sources said.
