On the MoD website, @DefenceMinIndia admits Chinese "transgressions" across the LAC in Galwan, Hot Springs and Pangong.

This disproves PM @narendramodi's 19 June statement: "Na koi ghusa, na koi ghusa hua hai" (Meaning: Nobody has crossed the LAC).

Why did the PM publicly lie?
I am not surprised at MoD's admission. I've been reporting exactly this since early May.

But the MoD report shames all those who the govt has enlisted to lie on its behalf on TV and print. Generals, party spokespersons, and the Godi Media.

@Ptr6Vb @kakar_harsha @GeneralBakshi
3/3 Now that @DefenceMinIndia has admitted the Chinese transgressions and that the "present standoff could be prolonged"... who is to be held responsible?

We were taken by surprise and our reactions were flawed. 20 soldiers died and the PLA continues to occupy Indian territory.
