Rajnath Singh, the defence minister, stated in the Lok Sabha, “On December 9, PLA soldiers infiltrated and made an attempt to alter the status quo in the Yangtse region of the Tawang sector. Our soldiers attacked this effort with a firm hand. Our soldiers valiantly prevented the PLA from entering our land and forced them to return to their position.”

Rajnath Singh also lauded the Indian military commanders’ timely intervention over the LAC clash.
The Tuesday pandemonium in Parliament was denounced by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. “Today in Lok Sabha, the opposition blocked Question Hour from beginning. I abhor this behaviour.
