New Delhi: Chinese troops violated a border pact signed between the two countries in October last year by tailing Indian troops in Eastern Ladakh in June, prompting India to lodge a protest on the issue, the government told Lok Sabha on Friday.
“Since signing of the Border Defence Cooperation Agreement (BDCA), Chinese troops, have on one occasion, violated the provision by tailing our patrol in Eastern Ladakh on June 2,” Defence Minister Arun Jaitley said in reply to a written query.
“A protest was lodged against this violation in the flag meeting held on July 15,” he said.
India and China signed the BDCA to maintain peace and tranquility along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in October last year under which “the two sides agreed that they shall not follow or tail patrols of the other sides in areas where there is no understanding of the LAC. (PTI)
