New Delhi: Chinese and Pakistani territorial ambitions require the Indian armed forces to remain vigilant and deployed along the disputed borders and coastal areas throughout the year, the Head of the Bipin Defense Staff (CD) of Praying said on Sunday.
CD stated this when giving Sardar Patel Memorial lectures on all Indian radio.
“The classical visionary that Sardar Patel, he firmly voiced the need for Independent Tibet as a buffer country between India and China, as can be found in the correspondence with the prime minister at that time Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru,” he said.
Praying said history was a witness to the fact that every time a country ignored the armed forces, external strength was quick to exploit it.
In the 1950s, India ignored this important historical lesson and allowed security forces to drift and China rocked the country in 1962, said care.
“We have to study this lesson through embarrassing experience.
Post-1962, we have had several battles against China – in Nathu La in Sikkim in 1967, in Wangdung in 1986, in Doklam in 2017 and the recent battle at East Ladakh.
“He noted.
The results have explained that the Indian Armed Forces are alert and determined to defend the national area, he said.
This, he said, has helped Chinese leaders and we to pursue an agreement to maintain peace and tranquility along the actual control line (LAC) and several steps to build other beliefs to improve relationships.
“Chinese and Pakistani territorial ambitions require the Indian armed forces to remain vigilant and deployed along the disputed borders and also along the coastal areas throughout the year,” he said.
The current border deadlock between the Indian and Chinese military erupted in May last year after clashes of violence in the Lake Pangong area in East Ladakh and the two parties gradually increased their placement by rushing on tens of thousands of soldiers and heavy weapons.
As a result of a series of military and diplomatic talks, India and China completed the release process in the gorry territory in August and on the north and South Bank of Lake Pangong in February.
Each side currently has around 50,000 to 60,000 troops along the LAC in the sensitive sector.
Rawat, in his speech, also given the role of the Indian armed forces in controlling post-partition violence in India.
“No one packed the Mayhem scale due to communal madness released because of our nation’s partition.” Large-scale violence between the people who have lived as a community resulted in the loss of thousands of innocent lives in 1947, “he said.
Police forces are limited in number, not fully trained or equipped, and suffer from communal battle trauma, he said.” Communal damage from that time was beyond the control of the police.
The armed forces were then called to control an angry riots and enforce the civil servant, “he added.
