In his remarks, the ITBP chief spoke about an “ongoing faceoff” with Chinese forces in Arunachal Pradesh.
Jaiswal did not question their authenticity. He however pointed out that similar situations had arisen in the past and that both sides were using existing diplomatic and military mechanisms to resolve outstanding issues and avoid misunderstanding and miscalculations along the LAC.
“In so far as the specifics are concerned, I would refer you to the ministry of defence,” he said with regard to the latest incident.
