Rajnath Singh reacts to killing of 20 Indian soldiers on LAC

New Delhi : Defence minister Rajnath Singh reacted for the first time over violent clash between Indian and Chinese troops at the LAC in which 20 Indian soldiers were martyred in the Galwan Valley. News agency ANI reported that four other Indian soldiers are in critical condition after the face-off.

“The loss of soldiers in Galwan is deeply disturbing and painful. Our soldiers displayed exemplary courage and valour in the line of duty and sacrificed their lives in the highest traditions of the Indian Army.

“The Nation will never forget their bravery and sacrifice. My heart goes out to the families of the fallen soldiers. The nation stand shoulder to shoulder with them in this difficult hour. We are proud of the bravery and courage of India’s bravehearts,” the minister tweeted.


He did not mention about the current situation at the valley.

Defence minister’s statement comes hours after former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for keeping silence on the matter. 

“Why is the PM silent? Why is he hiding? Enough is enough. We need to know what has happened. How dare China kill our soldiers? How dare they take our land?” tweeted Gandhi.
