Nobody has entered our border or taken over our posts, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday after the all-party meeting on the India-China clash in Ladakh in which 20 Indian soldiers were killed.
“Neither have they intruded into our border nor has any post been taken over by them (China). 20 of our jawans were martyred, but those who dared Bharat Mata, they were taught a lesson,” he said.
