(Shutterstock)Indian and Chinese soldiers have disengaged at three locations in eastern Ladakh and China has moved back troops by 2-2.5km in these areas, the ANI news agency on Tuesday quoted unnamed “top government sources” as saying. The top political leadership, too, chose silence despite the claim of a big breakthrough. A retired Intelligence Bureau official questioned the government’s silence in the face of claims of such a breakthrough. Marathon talks between Indian and Chinese military commanders on Saturday to resolve the standoff had remained “inconclusive”. The army had remained tightlipped on what transpired during Saturday’s meeting but India’s foreign ministry came out with an official statement on Sunday.
