Prime Minister Narendra
Modi on Sunday called on President Ram Nath Kovind and briefed him on
the tension along the Indo-China border arising due to recent Galwan
clash and heavy employment of Chinese Army along the Indo-China border.
The meeting lasted for
about half an hour. After the meeting, the President House tweeted from his
official tweeter handle, “Prime Minister @narendramodi called on President
Kovind and briefed him on the issues of national and international importance
at Rashtrapati Bhavan today”. Though the President or Prime
Minister Office has not given any further detail of the meeting, it is believed
PM briefed him on the ongoing tension along the Indo-China border and the steps
India has taken to defuse the situation.
Two days ago, Prime
Minister has surprised everyone by flying to Ladakh, and indirectly telling
China to shun its 'arrogant expansionist policies' and concentrate on
developments. He interacted with senior officers, went to a forward post and addressed
security personal deployed there and later met the injured
personnel in a Ladakh Hospital.
He stayed there for about half an hour and interacted with.
India has lost its 20 Army personnel, including the Commanding
Officer of 16th Bihar Regiment at the hands of Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley of Ladakh. This was an unprovoked attack by the Chinese
border troops on Indian soldiers, after confirming the implementation of the
de-escalation plan by the
Chinese in Galwan valley.
Though much is not out what was discussed in
the meeting, it is believed that Prime Minister briefed President on two
fronts, one the recent ongoing tension between India and China, and the steps
government has taken to defuse the tension. The Prime Minister believed to have
discussed the Covid-19 situation where numbers of infected persons are
increasing alarmingly.
