"The amassing of the troops by China goes against our 1993 and 1996 agreements. Respecting and strictly observing the Line of Actual Control is the basis for peace and tranquillity in the border areas and explicitly recognised in both agreements. While our armed forces abide scrupulously by it, this has not been reciprocated by the Chinese side... In the recent incidents, this year, the violent conduct of Chinese forces has been in complete violation of all mutually agreed norms," Singh said in Lok Sabha.

While he accused the Chinese of not honouring the existing border agreements and pacts between the two countries, China on Wednesday claimed that it was committed to maintaining peace. Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said that the country has been honouring the agreements signed between China and India.
