First of all finger 4 and 8 came in the grey zone it was always dominated by the Cheenis. So modi ji was technically correct when he said there was no incursion by the Cheenis. Well we are not looking for a war that's why aggressive claims and signalling is being avoided. We have way too many cards in our hand to trigger the Cheenis but for some reason we haven't it's incredibly frustrating for everyone but let's wait it out. This drama has just begun if someone is expecting the situation is going to be back to square one it isn't. The Chinese claims have increased and IA is being given freedom to operate so we are going to see more clashes. Let IA first go for patrol then we can predict whatever news headline we want. This is a developing situation we are accepting defeat before the fight has begun exactly what the Chinese want. Our main objectives are successful the road has been successfully made they have better positions to attack the road but we are also close enough to damage Demchok so all is not lost...If that be the case, in todays day & age where most people are informed about the situation which was unimaginable some 20 - 21 years back, shouldn't the statement have highlighted the facts? From 100% strategic point of view, if the statement mentioned that China has illegally occupied F4 to F8 & we will not give up on the land, can you imagine the difference that would have caused? It would have created a justification for IA to go up to the said F8 area. If IA now goes there for patrol, the situation as per today's statement will be, India crossing into Chinese land as, as per official statement, India didn't have land loss. So, what is the locus standi of the IA now?
How will they go for a patrol there without violating the already accepted LAC?
