India on Friday blamed China for the clash in eastern Ladakh, criticizing the country once again for violating bilateral agreements.
“The situation that we have seen since the last 6 months has been the result of the actions of the Chinese side that has sought to effect a unilateral change of status along the Royal Line of Control (LAC) in Eastern Ladakh. These actions are in violation of the bilateral agreements and the protocol to guarantee peace and tranquility throughout LAC in the border areas between India and China, “said the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“The central issues, as I mentioned last week, remain that both parties must strictly follow the various bilateral agreements and protocols in their entirety, including the 1993 and 1996 agreement on maintaining peace and tranquility throughout LAC. in border areas, which require that there should be no accumulation of troops, each side must strictly abide and respect the LAC and must not take any unilateral action to alter it, “he said.
“We have taken note of the statement by the Chinese side that it strictly observes ‘the agreements between the two sides and is committed to solving the border problem through dialogue and safeguarding peace and tranquility’ in the border areas. We hope that the Chinese side match your words with actions, “he added.
“The two sides have continued to maintain communication through diplomatic and military channels. We hope that future discussions will help both sides to reach an agreement on a mutually acceptable solution to ensure complete disconnection at all points of friction along LAC in the West Sector and full restoration of peace and tranquility as soon as possible, ”he said.
