PM Modi said that India has all the right to defend its territory and it will defend every inch of it, by all means.

At least 20 brave soldiers lost their lives in a battle with the Chinese Army at LAC near Galwan Valley on June 15 night. There are reports that 4 to 5 more soldiers are critically injured.

If sources to be believed, the government has given a free-hand to the army to react to the on-ground situation. The decision was taken during the marathon meetings held between PM Modi, EAM S Jaishankar, and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh late last night.
