Message: <blockquote data-quote="dalvinder45" data-source="post: 225498" data-attributes="member: 26009">External affairs minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar on Tuesday described the deployment of forces at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China as ‘abnormal’, adding that the security of the country should not be disregarded."After 1962, Rajiv Gandhi went to China in 1988 in many ways that was the key step towards normalising the ties (with China)...there was a clear understanding that we will discuss our boundary differences but we will maintain peace and tranquility on the border. And the rest of the relationship will carry on," the minister was quoted by PTI as saying at an event in Kolkata."What changed now is what happened in 2020. In 2020, the Chinese, in violation of multiple agreements, brought a large number of forces to our border and they did it at the time when we were under COVID lockdown," Jaishankar said.The minister asserted that India responded by counter deployment of force and for fours now, the forces have been deployed ahead of the normal base positions at Galwan."In 2020, the Chinese in violation of multiple agreements brought large number of forces at the border at a time when India was under covid lockdown...We responded by counter-deploying our forces...Today, there is a very abnormal deployment along the Line of Actual Control...As Indian citizens, none of us should disregard the security of the country"....There is also an economic challenge, he said, which is due to "neglect of the manufacturing and infrastructure sectors in the previous years. "Why is Indian business buying so much from China... Is it good to be so dependent on some other source?" Jaishankar added.</blockquote>
