India Rejects China's Push To Start Disengagement From Southern Bank Of Pangong Tso Lake
The flags of India and China.
India is said to have rejected China's push to start the disengagement process from the southern bank of the Pangong Tso lake, asserting that the steps to defuse the tensions in the region must simultaneously take place at all the friction points, reports Economic Times.
The development took place at the latest round of military talks held between the Indian Army and the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA). The Indian delegation is also said to have told the Chinese counterparts that the disengagement must also include Depsang region.
India's push for a simultaneous and not a selective disengagement comes, as it looks to ensure that the overall situation between the two nations does not escalate in the Eastern Ladakh region.
India is also said to have told the Chinese counterparts that given the standoff began in May month because of aggressive and expansionist moves by them, the disengagement process will also have to be led by them at the friction points.
The crucial Corps Commander-level meeting took place on Monday (21 September).

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
