Pakistan, China working on mission to create border disputes: Rajnath Singh

Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday said that China and Pakistan have been creating border disputes under a mission. While Pakistan’s policy to create unrest in Kashmir is known to the world, China violated the border consensus five months ago in an attempt to change the status quo along the LAC in Ladakh. The armies to two Asian giants are locked in a bitter standoff in eastern Ladakh since then. The two sides have held a series of diplomatic and military talks, but no breakthrough has been achieved.

“You are well aware of the conditions created along our northern and eastern borders. First it was Pakistan, and now also by China, as if a border dispute is being created under a mission. We have a border of about 7,000 km with these countries where the tension continues,” Rajnath said while speaking at an online event after inaugurating 44 bridges built by Border Roads Organisation (BRO) across seven states and UTs.
