India’s calibrated response at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh brought stability to the standoff with China’s Army, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Tuesday.
Speaking at a curtain raiser for the government’s flagship biennial defence exhibition, Aero India 2021, which is to be held from February 3-5, Singh said the handling of the LAC situation also showed the country’s resolve to defend its sovereignty and integrity.
One of the highlights of the three-day show is the expected signing of the contract between the government and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for 73 Mark-1A and 10 Mark-1 Tejas fighter jets for the Indian Air Force (IAF).
