A video, in which people can be seen running in one direction, is doing the rounds on social media. Claims are being made that the video is of angry Indians attacking China’s illegal constructions at the border.
The video came in the wake of the violent skirmish between the two countries that took place on the night of 15-16 June 2020, at Galwan valley in Ladakh.
“Thousands of angry people from India rushing towards the India-China border. On June 18, 2020, this video appeared on Facebook showing thousands of angry Indian people rushing down hill towards the Chinese-Indian border. After speaking with some locals through Facebook we’ve been told that this happened because of the Chinese are stealing – bit by bit – small pieces of land from India.” the caption read.
