INDIANS IN RAGE, PROTESTS AGAINST CHINA ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
Protestors in Varanasi burned the Chinese flag after the Indian army soldiers passed away due to the face-off between India and China in the Galwan Valley in Eastern Ladakh. A similar protest was seen in Patna and Gujarat where people burnt the photos of the Chinese president. Demonstrators under the banner of an NGO Vishal Bharat Sansthan raised slogans against President Xi Jinping and shouted, “Go back from our country“.

It’s really shameful that even after the peace meeting Chinese troops are provoking our soldiers for war. They must know that if such conditions arise India’s soldiers are ready to fight back and China would suffer a major fallback. Even PM Modi has told that India wants peace but it is capable to give a befitting reply if instigated.
