NEW DELHI: In another response to reports of a second bridge being constructed across Pangong Lake by China, the government reiterated on Friday that both these bridges are in areas that have remained under China’s illegal occupation since 1960s and that India had never accepted the Chinese claim over these areas.
The MEA said it had made it clear on several occasions that the Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh are an integral part of India and that other countries are expected to respect India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
