'Attack was pre-planned by China, Indian forces will give befitting reply': MoS Defence
The violent faceoff at Ladakh's Galwan valley in which 20 Indian soldiers lost their lives was "pre-planned by China" and Indian forces will give a "befitting reply", said Minister of State (MoS) for Defence Shripad Naik on June 17.
He said, "It's a matter of national security, there'll be no compromise.
I pay tribute to all jawans who lost lives.
Nation is proud of them that they made the supreme sacrifice.
It won't go in vain.
It was pre-planned by China, Indian forces will give befitting reply."
