China does not recognise traditional, customary alignment of boundary: Rajnath Singh
New Delhi: Giving a strong message to China, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday said in the Parliament that Beijing does not recognise the traditional and customary alignment of the boundary.
"We consider that this alignment is based on well established geographical principals," Singh said amid rising tension between the two neighbouring nations.
In his strong message sent to China, Singh said: "Violent conduct of Chinese troops is a violation of all past agreements."
He said, "China has mobilised a huge number of Army battalions and armaments along LAC and inner areas."

He said India is ready to deal with any situation.
"I assure the House that our Armed Forces are ready to face any situation. The morale and energy of our forces are high," he said.
India and China have been engaged into border standoff along the LAC in eastern Ladakh since early May.
It has even led to a violent clash between troops of the two countries in the Galwan valley on June 15, wherein 20 Indian soldiers were killed.
