India-China: China will again dare, what is the situation on LAC? Army Chief Upendra Dwivedi told everything openly

biggest loss of trust

In Chanakya Raksha Samvad, Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi said that there will be competition, cooperation, co-existence and competition with China. He said that we want the situation to come back to what it was before April 2020, whether it is about who was where on the ground or about the buffer zone or patrolling. Till this happens, the situation will remain sensitive for us and we are fully prepared for any operation, no matter what the situation may come, we can face it. He said that the biggest loss in this entire episode has been of trust. He said that many issues which were easy to resolve have been resolved. Where the situation is more difficult, where both sides have their own views, talks are going on there. General Dwivedi said that some positive signals have been given from the diplomatic side of both the countries, the military side will sit together and talk about how it can be implemented on the ground. When this conversation takes place, every aspect of the Northern Front including Depsang, Demchok will be discussed.

Also cautious about Chinese village

China has settled many villages across the LAC, about which the Indian Army is alert from the beginning. Regarding this, the Army Chief said that the population of Tibet and China is not near LAC. They are doing artificial immigration, it is their country they can do whatever they want but we saw what will happen in the South China Sea. First the fishermen came to the gray zone, then the army came to rescue them. There is a bigger design behind this, we will have to see it. He said that there are model villages in India also. The state government, army and central government are working together and our model villages will be much better.

What is the situation in Jammu?

Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi said that after the removal of Article 370, it became clear what Jammu and Kashmir means for India and what India means for Jammu and Kashmir. The number of pilgrims to Amarnath Yatra increased, the number of tourists increased and a lot of development took place. He said that so far this year only two people have been recruited into terrorist organizations whereas earlier 200-300 people used to be recruited. He said that our focus was more on North Kashmir, while the terrorists' focus was on places where we were seeing more peace and prosperity. Foreign terrorists came to those areas. We changed the deployment of the army and also reorganized the police. Everyone is working together.
