India of 2017 different from that of 1962: Jaitley responds to China

Defence Minister Arun Jaitley on Friday asserted that India of 2017 is different than what it was in 1962. Hitting out at China for asking the Indian Army to learn from historical lessons, Mr Jaitley also said, the current standoff between Indian and Chinese troops in the Sikkim sector was triggered by Beijing. He added that Bhutan had made it clear that the land in question belonged to it. <br/><br/>China had asked India to withdraw its troops from the Donglong area as a precondition for meaningful dialogue to settle the boundary issue. <br/>The defence minister said the Bhutan government had made its stance clear and China was trying to alter the status quo in the area.
