Shillong, March 28: According to Army chief General Manoj Pande, the Indian Army is tough and decisive in its dealings with the PLA’s violations of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) even as it continues to pose a trigger for escalation.

“We have sufficient reserves to deal with any unforeseen circumstances. Our readiness remains high, and troops continue to deal with the PLA in a firm, resolute, and measured manner, all while ensuring the sanctity of our claims,” the Army chief said.

He said that because of difference in perception of alignment of LAC, the pockets of disputes exist.

He was speaking at the Second Strategic Dialogue on the rise of China and its implications for the world organised by the Department of Defense and Strategic Studies of Savitribai Phule Pune University.

Concerning the Sino-American rivalry, the army chief stated, “China’s rise is driven by its regional and global aspirations for a much larger and higher seat at the high table. The Chinese urgency to replace the US as the global net security provider is reflected in the brokering of peace talks between Saudi Arabia and Iran, as well as the presentation of the Chinese 12-point peace plan for ending the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict,” he said.
