China transgressed the Indian territory in eastern Ladakh at multiple spots, the Defence Ministry acknowledged in a document posted on its website on Tuesday.
The document and the link, however, were removed from the website this morning, though it's not the first time that an official acknowledgement has come on "transgressions" along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
It won't change facts, Congress takes a dig
"Forget standing up to China, India's PM lacks the courage even to name them. Denying China is in our territory and removing documents from websites won't change the facts," — Rahul Gandhi tweeted.
The Ministry of External Affairs has earlier spoken about "transgressions", but it hasn't ever mentioned specific locations. The MoD statement, however, had given details: "The Chinese side has transgressed in the areas of Kungrang Nala (Patrolling Point-15 north of Hot Springs), Gogra ( PP 17-A) and north bank of Pangong Tso on May 17-18."
"The situation in eastern Ladakh arising from unilateral aggression by China continues to be sensitive. It requires close monitoring and prompt action based on the evolving situation," it said. It spoke about the ongoing dialogue: "The engagement and dialogue at military and diplomatic level is continuing to arrive at a mutually acceptable consensus, the present standoff is likely to be prolonged". The four-page document was uploaded by MoD on Tuesday and removed on Thursday.
