New Delhi: The Congress on Friday demanded a discussion in Parliament on the loss of 26 patrolling points on the LAC in Ladakh during the budget session and alleged that status quo could not be restored even after 17 rounds of talks. Citing the three-day annual conference of DGPs-IGPs, in which a detailed security research paper was presented for discussion, the Congress alleged that the Modi government showed rank indifference to China’s illegal occupation of India’s territory. Surprising facts came to light. region.
Addressing a press conference, the party’s media president Pawan Khera said, “India lost access to 26 of the 65 Patrolling Points (PPs) not earlier than May 2020, and later in the Galwan conflict where 20 bravehearts sacrificed their lives.
He said according to the paper “At present, there are 65 PPs starting from Karakoram Pass till Chumur, which are to be regularly patrolled by ISF (Indian Security Force). Out of 65 PPs, our presence in 26 PPs (i.e. PP No. 5-17, 24-32, 37, 51,52,62) due to restrictive or no patrolling by ISFs (Indian Security Forces). Later, China forced us to accept this fact states that, as such, such areas have not seen the presence of ISFs or civilians for a long time, the Chinese were present in these areas. This moves the border under the control of the ISFs to the Indian side and creates a buffer zone in all such pockets. This eventually leads to loss of control over these areas by India.This strategy of PLA to grab land inch by inch is known as salami slicing.
He said that the PLA has taken advantage of the buffer zones in this de-escalation talks and has placed its best cameras on the highest peaks and is monitoring the movements of the Indian forces. This peculiar condition can be seen in Black Top, Helmet Top mountains in Chushul, Gogra Hills in Demchok, Kakjung, Hot Springs and Depsang plains near Chip Chip river.
Khera said that according to the paper “by September 2021, senior officials of the district administration and security forces would smoothly patrol the DBO sector up to the Karakoram Pass (35 km from Daulat Beg Oldie), however, restrictions were imposed in the form of check posts Indian Army is in DBO to prevent any such movement towards Karakoram Pass from December 2021 onwards as PLA had installed cameras and will immediately object to movement from Indian side if not informed in advance.”
The unfenced boundaries are serving as pastures for the nomadic community of Changthang area (Rebos) and given the lack of rich pastures, they would traditionally venture into areas close to the PP.
He alleged that the newspaper said: “Since 2014, the grazing movement and areas on the Rebos have been banned by the ISF and this has caused some resentment against them. The troops are specially disguised to stop the movement of the Rebos.” The higher reaches can be objected to by PLA and similarly development work in border villages like Demchok, Koyul which are under direct electronic monitoring of PLA as they raise objections immediately.”
