All-party meeting convened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss the situation along the India-China border is underway.
Presidents of over 15 political parties are attending this meeting. The meeting assumes significance in the wake of recent violent face-off between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh.
Prime Minister Modi took a tough stand on the violent incidents and had on Wednesday said that the martyrdom of 20 brave Indian soldiers at the LAC will not go in vain. He also asserted that whatever may be the situation and circumstances, India will firmly protect every inch of its land and self-respect.
