Speaking to Republic World, Lt. Gen (Retd) Vinod Bhatia, Director General of Military Operations said, “The present situation along the India China-LAC is stable albeit sensitive. In the security domain, every detail can not be made public as it will be detrimental to an early and mutually acceptable resolution as per established mechanisms and agreements.” He added.
“There is a need to trust the Army which is effective and will ensure territorial integrity. The military to military talks at the borders are indicative of a peaceful resolution. India stands firm, with its stance of 'NO BLINKING NO BRINKMANSHIP'. Certain inimical elements especially our Western adversary would like the situation to spiral. Hence we need to be cautious keeping in view the sensitivities of the situation.”
