The only answer is to bring back Indian territory from Chinese occupation: Asaduddin Owaisi

The only answer is to take back Indian territory from Chinese occupation, said Asaduddin Owaisi, head of the country's Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) and a member of the Lok Sabha. He made the remarks in a tweet on Thursday after 20 Indian soldiers were killed in clashes with Chinese forces on the border on Monday.

Criticizing the ruling BJP government, he said Prime Minister Modi has spoken to the Chinese PM 18 times in the last six years. What is the reason for these discussions? `China has occupied our Indian territory Galwan Valley, 20 soldiers have lost their lives. The only answer is to take back our territory.

Twenty Indian soldiers, including a colonel, were killed in a clash with Chinese forces in Ladakh's Galwan Valley on Monday night. Citing unconfirmed sources, Indian media claimed that 45 Chinese military personnel had been killed. However, China did not provide details about the casualties.

Meanwhile, since the clashes over border tensions, three rounds of military-level meetings have been held in Ladakh. However, talks on Thursday were fruitless as China remained adamant about not withdrawing troops from the border.
