Press Statement
 
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
 
De-Escalate the Situation on the LAC
 
It is unfortunate that during the de-escalation process on the Line of
Actual Control in Ladakh, a clash has taken place at  Galwan valley. This
has taken place after the talks between the two sides at a high military
level  began on June 6 to discuss the process of disengagement.  Both sides
have reported casualties.
 
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) expresses its deep condolences at the death
of an Indian officer and two soldiers.
 
The Indian Army statement that the military officials of the two sides are
currently meeting at the venue to defuse the situation must ensure that
peace prevails.  
 
The Government of India should come out with an authoritative statement as
to what actually happened. It is imperative that both the Governments
immediately initiate high level talks to defuse the situation and advance
the process of disengagement on the basis of the  agreed understanding on
maintaining peace and tranquility on the border.
