00:00I will explain a very good explanation, but there is an important fact that it doesn't
00:12mean that.
00:13That is why there is an existing protocol on the China border.
00:19The existing protocol is that you will not open fire unless cleared at the topmost level.
00:27There is an order.
00:30General Narwani had to escalate the problem to the level of Rajnath Singh, Defence Minister, Ajit
00:38Dhowal and Jay Shankar, our external affairs minister.
00:42He kept asking them one question.
00:44What are my orders?
00:46Because there is an existing protocol that exists, there is a question.
00:53Yes.
00:54There is an existing protocol that exists in Pakistan.
00:59There is no protocol that exists in Pakistan.
01:02If the local commander has a suitable reply, he will kill.
01:08He will kill.
01:09He will kill.
01:11But in China, modernly, the situation is very different.
01:15The orders are very different.
01:17So that is why General Narwani had to escalate the matter to the highest level in Delhi.
01:25So that is why the Prime Minister has decided to hand over his responsibility to the local,
01:42I mean army chief and to the local commanders.
01:44There was an extreme possibility of this escalating into a major war between India and China.
01:56Because the tanks were coming almost 200-300 meters away from our tanks.
02:03Finally, you know, at about, soon after, Rajanat Singh says this,
02:10Chinese PLA commander, he sends a message.
02:14He says, let us cool the situation.
02:18Let us have a meeting tomorrow morning at 9.30 and then we will consider the matter.
02:24General Narwani tells General Joshi, you just do not open fire but take your tanks as far as possible
02:34and put them in a position of offence but put your cannon down, you know,
02:41right up to the eyeball-to-eyeball level.
02:44So this is what exactly happens on that day, on the night of 29th, 30th August.
02:532020.
02:54So, this is where the dangerous situation is.
02:58So, but the matter was almost getting into a trigger point.
03:07The trigger point is that someone is firing.
03:12So, the causes belly comes to India.
03:16India will be blamed as aggression.
03:18Yes, sir.
03:19So, I think General Narwani was right.
03:33What's your question?
03:34Not to you, you know, and your top leadership is.
03:37The reactionary public and PM was.
03:38What is your question?
03:39The second direction, should you have made it?
03:40What is your question?
03:41What should it say?
03:42That's the direction of Uchita Bhagitha, Sukta Bhagitha.
03:51The Prime Minister actually should have given a very decisive reply.
04:00Either fire or do not fire.
04:03He should have said, I will take up the matter at the political level.
04:09Do not escalate the matter.
04:12And you know, wait for a few more hours.
04:15Because there is always a hotline connection between the DGMOs from Delhi and also with Beijing.
04:24We have got a hotline here in Pakistan.
04:28That's why Beijing didn't even call us a phone.
04:31We should have asked the DGMO in Beijing, in the PLA headquarters,
04:37If you are a local tactical commander, if you are a local commander, you will approve this.
04:49That's why we have to ask questions.
04:51But anyway, now it is all, you know, it's all wisdom and hindsight.
04:55That's useless.
04:56I think Prime Minister should have been more decisive because the chief of AVI staff is asking for a clear direction.
05:12Yes, Joshi, sir, how are you?
05:14Yes, Joshi, sir, how are you?
05:15This is the Asianet News Network.
05:24This is the Asianet News Network, there is a good look for it.
05:32And you'll see the spread tool out and press the Kiss.
