China blames Indian Army for ‘illegally crossing LAC’

Chinese troops were obstructed by the Indian Army who illegally crossed the LAC, claimed the PLA Tuesday in its first reaction to the military clash reported from Arunachal Pradesh. “Our response measures were professional, standard, and forceful, and stabilised the situation on the ground. At present, China and India have disengaged,” a PLA Western Theatre Command spokesperson was quoted as saying by AFP. “We ask the Indian side to strictly control and restrain front-line troops, and work with China to maintain peace and tranquility on the border,” the official added.
