Amid border tensions with China, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that Indian soldiers gave a befitting reply to those who tried to pose a challenge to the country’s sovereignty, be it at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) or the Line of Control (LoC).
“From LoC to LAC, whoever tried to challenge the sovereignty of our country got a befitting reply from our soldiers in their own language,” the Prime Minister said without directly naming China or Pakistan.
Referring to the clash between Indian and Chinese troops in Ladakh’s Galwan Valley in June this year, he said: “What our jawans can do, what the country can do, the world has seen in Ladakh. “Addressing the nation on Independence Day from the ramparts of Red Fort, the Prime Minister said that India stands united and is committed to protecting its sovereignty.
