Srinagar, June 19: The Kashmir unit of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) here on Friday protested against China by burning the effigy of Chinese President Xi Jinping and its flag following India-China violent face-off in Eastern Ladakh that resulted in loss of lives of 20 Indian Army men.
Scores of BJP leaders assembled outside the party office in Srinagar and raised slogans against China. The BJP leaders later burned effigy of Chinese President and the flag of China.
Meanwhile, the Major-General level talks are being held in the aftermath of June 15 violent clash between troops of India and China at Galwan Valley in Ladakh.
The clash had erupted when PLA soldiers, who after initially pulling back a little in consonance with the de-escalation plan finalized by the commanders of two armies, returned to erect a ‘temporary post’ in the shape of tents near Patrolling Point-14 (PP-14).
The killing of the soldiers have attracted severe criticism from all political parties and general public in India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called an all party meeting on Friday where he and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh are expected to brief parties about Galwan Valley and current situation at India-China LAC.
