NEW DELHI: India has not conceded any territory as a result of agreement with China, the ministry of defence said today.
“Assertion that Indian territory is up to Finger 4 in Pangong Tso area is categorically false,” the statement further said.
The clarification comes close on the heels of a statement by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi this morning, where he said that India has ceded territory to China as a part of disengagement.

The clarification comes close on the heels of a statement by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi this morning, where he said that India has ceded territory to China as a part of disengagement.
The Army statement clearly contradicted a claim made by Gandhi. He had said, “Finger 4 is our territory, that is where our post used to be. Now we have moved from Finger 4 to Finger 3. Why has Prime Minister Modi given up Indian territory to the Chinese. This is the question that needs to be answered by him and the defence minister,” Gandhi said.
