News circulating in Indian electronic and social media claiming additional deployment of Pakistan Army troops along #LOC in GB and alleged use of Skardu Airbase by #China is false, irresponsible and far from truth. (1/2) — DG ISPR (@OfficialDGISPR) July 2, 2020 …No such movement or induction of additional forces has taken place. We also vehemently deny presence of Chinese troops in Pakistan. (2/2) — DG ISPR (@OfficialDGISPR) July 2, 2020 Reports have also alleged that Pakistan is monitoring airspace in the region, and that Chinese and Pakistani officials have discussed the option of “inciting violence” in India-held Kashmir. India and China have been at odds in the Galwan Valey of the Ladakh region since last month and at least 20 Indian soldiers were killed in a violent clash between the two armies, raising fears of all-out conflict between them. Pakistan, along with the rest of the world, has condemned the stand-off and urged restraint. Prime Minister Imran Khan has warned that India might attempt a “false flag operation” in Kashmir to divert global attention from the conflict with China.
