Soldiers gave befitting reply to those who eyed Indian territory in Ladakh: PM Modi
New Delhi/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said India has given a befitting response to those who dared to eye encroaching her territory in Ladakh.
Speaking during his monthly radio address 'Mann Ki Baat', PM Modi said: "Our soldiers gave a befitting response to those who dared to eye Mother India's territory. We know how to maintain friendship, but if anyone attempts to confront shall be given adequate response."
The PM was referring to the deadly clash between soldiers of India and China along the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh on June 15.
The face-off left 20 Indian soldiers martyred.
"Our brave soldiers made it clear that they will not allow anyone to taint the honour of Mother India," he said.
Paying his tribute to the martyrs, Modi said: "India bows to our brave martyrs. They have always kept India safe. Their valour will always be remembered."
According to unconfirmed reports, the Indian Army believes that the Chinese side suffered around 45 casualties during the face-off on June 15 night.
