China blames Indian troops for deadly border clash

China blames Indian troops for deadly border clash
The Indian side would best not make an incorrect judgement of the situation, would best not underestimate China’s strong determination to safety its sovereign territory,” Wang said in a statement issued by the foreign ministry.
He repeated China’s claims that India was solely responsible for the conflict, saying its forces had crossed the Line of Actual Control that divides the thousands of troops from the sides deployed in the area.
The statement said Jaishankar explained India’s position, but gave no details, and said New Delhi was committed to talks on reducing tensions.
Colonel killed
According to the Indian government sources, the fighting on Monday night broke out during a meeting to discuss ways to de-escalate tensions, and the colonel commanding the Indian side was one of the first to be struck and killed.
Many of the other Indian soldiers who died had succumbed to their wounds, having been unable to survive the night in freezing temperatures.
Unlike in India, the incident did not receive wall-to-wall coverage in China, where official media reported a statement on the incident from the spokesperson for the Chinese army’s Western Command.
On social media, bloggers and media aggregating platforms shared Indian media reports, such as the Indian army’s announcement acknowledging that the death toll had risen to 20.
Most vocal was the Global Times, a paper published by the official paper of the country’s ruling Communist Party.
Its editor-in-chief, Hu Xijin, took to domestic and global social media platforms to scold India, saying “Indian public opinion needs to stay sober” and to warn that China did not fear a clash.firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor firstnewseditor<

Sindh govt imposes ‘smart lockdown’ in province’s select areas KARACHI: As the federal government identified some 20 potential Covid-19 hotspots where restrictive measures are needed to contain the virus in line with the prime minister’s smart lockdown policy, the local administration moved into action on Tuesday to place restrictions in several areas of different districts and sought a nod from the Sindh government for imposing the lockdown in a number of other neighbourhoods, including some in Karachi’s West district and towns of Hyderabad. Officials said that the move was aimed at containing the spread of the coronavirus in line with the uniform policy across the country devised by the National Coordination and Operation Centre (NCOC). “In areas of Jamshoro a 14-day lockdown has been imposed on Tuesday,” said an official citing orders from the deputy commissioner office. “The areas of lockdown included Khosa Mohalla, Memon Mohalla of Bubak town and Lorhai Street near Wadero ...

Punjab asked to release wheat stocks

Punjab asked to release wheat stocks Sources said the government had reports that middlemen were hoarding this year’s wheat produce owing to higher international prices, lower domestic prices and tight demand-supply situation in the country. It was viewed that release of wheat from Punjab’s stocks and supply by Pakistan Agricultural Storage and Services Corporation (Passco) to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan will compel hoarders to offload the grain. The meeting, presided over Finance Adviser Dr Abdul Hafeez Shaikh, was informed that the government had received encouraging response from the private sector in the shape of formal applications to take benefit of government’s decision to allow duty and tax free import of wheat. However, the private sector may not be able to achieve the 2.5 million tonnes import target set for the current season. Chief Secretary Punjab Agha Jawad Rafique informed the federal cabinet members that the province was ready open up its stocks but thes...

Senators inquire into customised benefits for two companies in Finance Bill

Senators inquire into customised benefits for two companies in Finance Bill “Who are the people behind these companies” they repeatedly asked. “How can a company’s name be included in the law?” The Senate Standing Committee on Finance & Revenue led by Senator Farooq Hamid Naek also set the principle under Article 73 of the Constitution that it would not approve any clause to be included in the Finance Bill if it did not pertain to imposition, abolition, remission, alteration of regulation of any tax. Senator Naek advised the members that the committee should also not allow something to be included in the money bill if it provided for the imposition or alteration of any fine or other pecuniary penalty, or for the demand or payment of a licence fee or a fee or charge for any service rendered or those taxes that fall under the domain of any local government. The committee members took strong exception to a proposed amendment in the Customs Law (Clause 3-19/i-a) for exemption...
