Indian veterans have accused China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of “barbarism” and of violating protocols by using crude weapons against unarmed Indian soldiers, after 20 were killed on the inhospitable terrain of the Galwan Valley in Ladakh on the night of June 15.
“Our people do not carry any sticks or any kind of such equipment, but the Chinese, in a premeditated manner, were carrying clubs—you know, metallic clubs, [including ones] with spikes on them, or wooden clubs which had barbed wire on them, and knuckle dusters, and all of these kinds of equipment—and they hit the commanding officer and our people,” retired Lt. Gen. Rakesh Sharma, who previously served in the Indian army at the same location, told The Epoch Times over the phone from New Delhi.
