New Delhi: Former ambassador to China Ashok Kantha, who is at present the Director of the Institute of Chinese Studies, has said there is a need to share more details with the opposition and the public regarding Chinese transgressions in Ladakh. He also said that we need a more honest debate in parliament on this issue.

In an interview with Karan Thapar for The Wire, Kantha explains why he believes that the foreign minister’s statement in parliament on December 3 “leaves several core questions unanswered”.

Speaking about the “resumption of patrolling” to five traditional patrolling points beyond Y-junction in Depsang and Charding Nala in Demchok, Kantha says that there is a lack of “feasibility” and “clarity” on the issue.
