New Delhi: As China accused India of military provocation along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), pictures have surfaced which clearly expose the Dragon’s wicked and nefarious designs.

Government sources on Tuesday confirmed that around 50-60 People’s Liberation Army (PLA) troops made aggressive movement towards Indian post near Mukhpari peak at about 6 PM on September 7 and they were armed with rods, machetes and spears.

They tried to close in on an Indian position in Mukhpari area of Rezang La ridgeline in eastern Ladakh on Monday evening but the Indian Army personnel posted there strongly confronted them, forcing their retreat.

On Monday evening too, the Chinese troops were carrying rods, spears, clubs and sharp weapons, the sources said.

Pictures proof of Chinese aggression at LAC

When the Indian Army forced the Chinese troops to return, they fired 10-15 rounds in the air to intimidate Indian soldiers, in the first use of firearms along the LAC after a gap of 45 years. The sources said Indian troops did not use any firearm.

They said the attempt of the Chinese troops was to remove Indian Army from the strategic heights in Mukhpari peak and Rezang La areas.

The PLA has been eyeing to capture the strategic heights in the last three-four days, the sources said, adding the Chinese troops damaged an iron fence on Monday evening which was put up by Indian troops in the area.

India dismisses Chinese allegations

While rejecting China’s allegations that Indian troops crossed the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and “outrageously fired” warning shots near the Pangong lake in eastern Ladakh, the sources said that when the Indian Army dissuaded the approaching Chinese PLA troops they fired 10-15 rounds in air to intimidate our troops.

Earlier in the day, the Indian Amry categorically denied all Chinese accusations.

“In the instant case on September 7, it was the PLA troops who were attempting to close-in with one of our forward positions along the LAC and when dissuaded by own (Indian) troops, PLA troops fired a few rounds in the air in an attempt to intimidate own troops. At no stage has Indian Army transgressed across LAC or resorted to use of any aggressive means, including firing”, the Army said in a statement.
