Indian troops on border duty carry arms: Jaishankar to Rahul

All Indian troops guarding the border with China carry arms, external affairs minister S Jaishankar said on Thursday, replying to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's poser that why Army personnel in Galwan Valley were sent "unarmed to martyrdom". The minister said armies of the two sides do not use firearms as per provisions of two bilateral agreements sealed in 1996 and 2005.
