External affairs minister Dr. S Jaishankar says all troops on border duty always carry arms.

New Delhi: After Monday’s violent clash between Indian Soldiers and Chinese troop at LAC in Ladakh. As per official statement 20 Soldiers were killed. Many, including Rahul Gandhi raised question why our soldiers were unarmed? Rahul Gandhi tweeted How dare China kill our UNARMED soldiers? Why were our soldiers sent UNARMED to martyrdom?

Reacting to Rahul Gandhi’s tweet External affairs minister Dr. S Jaishankar has said that Let us get the facts straight. All troops on border duty always carry arms, especially when leaving post. He also added Those on Galwan on 15 June did so. Long-standing practice (as par 1996 & 2005 agreements) not to use firearms during faceoffs.
