  • Ladakh LG Kavinder Gupta dismissed China's claim over Shaksgam valley, asserting all of PoK belongs to India.
  • Gupta warned China against expansionist moves, stating India is stronger now than in 1962.
  • MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal reiterated Shaksgam Valley is Indian territory and the 1963 China-Pakistan boundary agreement is illegal.
  • A Chinese government spokesperson cited the 1960s boundary agreement, claiming justification for infrastructure in its 'own territory'.
