Someone tell us the place from which the Chinese troops disengaged, Chidambaram questions govt

New Delhi, July 08: With the Chinese troops on a pullback in Ladakh, senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Wednesday sought to know from the government the areas vacated by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and also where have they moved now.

On Tuesday, it was reported that China had withdrawn up to 1.5 km from friction areas in Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Gogra, and the Indian Army also pulled back on its side.

In a tweet, the senior Congress leader said, "I welcome the disengagement and pull back by Chinese troops. Will some one tell us the place from which the Chinese troops disengaged and the place in which they are now."

The steps in disengagement was imposed after National Security Adviser Ajit Doval held talks with Chinese Foreign Minister and State Councilor Wang Yi over video call on Sunday. Doval and Wang's conversation is learnt to have focused on "full and enduring restoration of peace and tranquillity" along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

"Similarly which is the place from which Indian troops disengaged? Did any troops - Chinese or Indian - move from one side of the LAC to the other?" asked Chidambaram.

In another tweet, Chidambaram indicated there is scant information available about the goings on in Ladakh forcing the Indian people to go on a "treasure hunt" to find out what happened on June 15.

"Answers to these questions are necessary because the Indian people are on a Treasure Hunt to find out what happened on June 15 and where," another tweet read.
