No power on earth can stop Indian soldiers from patrolling: Rajnath Singh

Delhi September 17 (PTK) No power on earth can stop Indian soldiers from patrolling along the normal patrolling routes, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh asserted in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday in response to questions that Chinese troops were blocking the Indian Army patrols along the disputed boundary in eastern Ladakh.

No force on earth can stop our soldiers from patrolling and our soldiers have sacrificed their lives for that, he said,adding that there will be no change in the patrolling pattern,” he said to a question from former Defence Minister A.K. Antony.

As several political parties expressed support to the government in the ongoing stand-off with China, Mr. Singh said the country had fought many wars.

Mr. Singh said the “Chinese side again engaged in provocative military manoeuvres on the night of August 29 and 30 in an attempt to change the status quo in the South Bank area of Pangong Lake“.(PTK)
