Srinagar. A day after sending a strong message from Lukung to China, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh has reached the Amarnath Temple to visit Baba Barfani.

Earlier on Friday, he visited the Lukung military outpost in Leh-Ladakh to convey to China of India’s counter-strategic preparations amid a dispute over Chinese encroachment along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The Defense Minister reached Leh-Ladakh with Chief of Defense Staff General Bipin Rawat and Army Chief General MM Narwane, while boosting the morale of the troops stationed on the front fronts, while also conveying to China that it is in the interest of both countries to resolve the negotiations. .
Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, after reaching Leh while dealing with the soldiers, gave a very strong message to China about the border dispute and said that no power in the world can occupy an inch of land in India. Adopting an impassioned approach, he said that the talks so far are expected to resolve. But to what extent the dispute will be resolved, it cannot be guaranteed. He also said that India is not only ready, but also capable, to respond to any of China’s actions to redefine LAC with the help of military power.

But I definitely want to assure that even an inch of India’s land cannot touch any power of the world, no one can occupy it.
