3 things: Indian side did NOT have weapons & PLA knew this. They were prepared to kill. Impossible Indian soldiers on frontline will jump in river but will not use wpns for self defense. Someone LYING at highest level of authority. Gen Rawat & not Jaishankar should clarify 1/3

Since PLA too did not use weapons means China does not want escalation. But, its preparation to kill with stones etc shows leadership at high level knew & had approved of this act. Shows Lt Gen/Maj Gen June 6 meeting was not cordial. We should not have kept our boys unarmed 2/3

Analysts talking of limited war with PLA as option do not know its capabilities, they believe it is still 1962 (war in single land domain). Nothing called limited - war once joined decided by stronger party (PLA). With India’s preparedness, war will be national humiliation 3/3

Time for opposition parties to get united on national security. This is time to seek explanation #Gov & let the nation know what happened. Not doing so will demoralize armed forces (they know truth). Gen Rawat wearing uniform & hiding from men who he commanded & who trusted him
