A day after China asked India to learn from its 1962 military debacle, Defense Minister Arun Jaitley on Friday slammed the neighboring country saying, India of 2017 is different from the India of 1962. “If they are trying to remind us, the situation in 1962 was different, the India of today is different,” Jaitley said.

China on Thursday warned India that it will heighten the ongoing border row if Indian troops did not withdraw from “Chinese territory”. China told New Delhi not to “clamour for war”.

Jaitley’s remark comes amid a stand-off between Indian and Chinese troops in Dokala area, near Siliguri. The Bhutan government had made it clear that China was trying to claim Bhutanese land, he said adding that this was “absolutely wrong”.

“After the statement of the government of Bhutan, I think the situation is absolutely clear. It is Bhutan’s land, close to the Indian border, and Bhutan and India have an arrangement to provide security. Bhutan itself clarified … China is trying to alter the present status-quo. After this, I think the issue is absolutely clear. To say we will come there and grab the land of some other country is what China is doing and it is absolutely wrong,” the minister added.
