'Indian-Chinese Troops Clashed in May, Possible Casualties,' Col. Ajai Shukla | Karan Thapar

In an interview to Karan Thapar for The Wire, Col. Ajai Shukla said he has got his information from reliable and credible sources. As he put it: “I make sure they are credible and authentic”. He added: “I cross-verify with at least one more source”. That means he has two sources for every revelation he has made. Some are from the Ministry of Defence and also the military.

Col. Shukla has made four very serious claims which, if true, first suggest there has been an increase in tension between the Indian and Chinese armies in eastern Ladakh, culminating in the Galwan clash of 2nd May, second, a deployment of S-400 missiles by the Chinese which has eroded India’s superiority in air power and, third, a reneging by the Chinese on the disengagement agreement of February 2021 in the Pangong Lake area. This press release will first give details of Col. Shukla’s claims. After that it will give details of the army’s strong rebuttal and Col. Shukla’s response.
