Pak had intruded 20 km into the Kargil area; Chinese intrusion has been 19 km deep Azhar Qadri
The latest transgression by the Chinese army in the Ladakh region, which is turning into a standoff between India and China, is as deep as Pakistan’s 1999 Kargil incursion which led to a war between India and Pakistan.
For the past fortnight, Chinese troops have stationed themselves 19 km deep inside the Indian territory in the Daulat Beg Oldie sector of the Ladakh region.
In 1999, the Pakistani troops and irregulars had intruded 16 to 20 km deep inside the Kargil area of the Ladakh region, triggering a limited war between the two countries.
Pakistan’s 1999 incursion was, however, spread over nearly the entire length of the Line of Control (LoC) in the Kargil area where they (Pakistani troops) had stationed themselves on mountain peaks overlooking the strategic Srinagar-Leh national highway. In contrast, the Chinese have limited themselves to a specific spot.
China’s incursion in the Daulat Beg Oldie sector, where 50 Chinese troops have pitched tents and are refusing to turn back, is one of the deepest in recent years. India’s boundary with China in the Ladakh region is not marked and Chinese troops have frequently been entering into the Indian Territory leading to standoffs between the two countries.
A retired Army general dismissed any comparison between Pakistan’s Kargil incursion, where the LoC is properly notified, and the Chinese incursion in Ladakh, where the Line of Actual Control (LAC) is based on differing “perception” of India and China.
“(Pakistan’s) incursion was a sudden attack, where the intention was not to go back but to capture some area. (China’s) transgression is to cross a line on account of perception,” said the retired Army officer who has extensive knowledge of the region.
He said the transgressions in the Ladakh region were occurring because there were no properly demarcated borders. “Till boundary is decided, any military action is not justifiable. If they have come inside, it is just a transgression which will go away,” he said.
