To forget the 20 martyrs, the media said 43 Chinese soldiers died - know the reality behind this

On June 16, the ongoing border dispute between India and China came to a head with serious reports that 20 Indian soldiers had been killed in the Galvan Valley of Ladakh. 

At the same time, there were reports that as many as eight Chinese soldiers had been killed or wounded. But to cover up the martyrdom of 20 soldiers, the news is creating a different atmosphere across the country by showing that 43 Chinese soldiers have been killed.

The limit was reached when the anchor of a national news channel said that the army was responsible for this and not the government. These are the same lowly anchors who gave the government a necklace called Surgical Strike.

The claim for the deaths of 43 Chinese soldiers was based on a tweet from the news agency ANI, which quoted sources as saying that 43 people had been killed or wounded in China. Which some so-called journalists turned into a shooting act of 43 Chinese.

"No official announcement has been made by the Chinese party yet," tweeted Shiv Arore, a journalist familiar with military matters.

However, the commanding officer of the Chinese unit involved in the violent clashes with Indian troops in the Galvan Valley on June 15-16 was among those killed, ANI tweeted.

The ANI tweeted that 43 people had been killed or wounded in an alleged casualty in the Chinese military - a statement many misrepresented as "43 Chinese soldiers were killed". Neither the Chinese party nor any leading Indian military affairs correspondent has confirmed the number of people injured or killed in the Chinese army.
