India-China Border Clash At LAC LIVE Updates India-China Border Dispute Latest Update: The troops of the Indian and Chinese armies clashed along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Arunachal Pradesh's Tawang sector on December 9, the Indian Army said on Monday. The face-off resulted in "minor injuries to a few personnel from both sides", Army added. "On December 9, PLA troops contacted the LAC in Tawang Sector which was contested by own (Indian) troops in a firm and resolute manner. This face-off led to minor injuries to few personnel from both sides," the Army said in a statement.
"Both sides immediately disengaged from the area. As a follow up of the incident, own (Indian) commander in the area held a flag meeting with his counterpart to discuss the issue in accordance with structured mechanisms to restore peace and tranquillity," it said.
The Army did not mention the number of troops involved in the face-off and those injured in the incident. However, several media reports have claimed that there were more than 200 Chinese soldiers involved and they were carrying spiked clubs and sticks, and injuries on the Chinese side could be higher.
Congress, meanwhile, attacked the Centre and said that the Narendra Modi-led government needs to take the nation into confidence by discussing the border issue in Parliament. The Opposition party also alleged that Modi's government is suppressing the India-China border issue due to which Beijing was acting with increasing audacity.
The relations between India and China have nosedived significantly following the fierce clash in the Galwan Valley in June 2020 that marked the most serious military conflict between the two nations in decades.

PM Modi 'scared' of taking China's name: Owasi on India-China Tawang face-off
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has taken a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that he has failed to show his political leadership.
"The Prime Minister has failed in showing political leadership. You are delivering a statement regarding a clash that occurred on December 9. Had the media not reported it, you would not have even talked about it," Owaisi said attacking the Centre and asking to take all the parties to the site of the clash to prove that the situation is under control.
He further remarked that the Prime Minister and the government were scared of taking the name of China.
"What all have you done in the 15 rounds of conversation? Take all parties to the site of clash. PM is scared of taking China`s name and his government is scared of speaking about China," he said.
हमारे 56 इंच के प्रधानमंत्री चीन का नाम लेने से इतना घबराते क्यों हैं? क्या वजह है कि ढाई साल से चीन लदाख में हमारी ज़मीन पर कब्ज़ा कर के बैठा है और मोदीजी के मुंह से चूं तक नहीं निकलती? इतनी मजबूत सेना है हमारी और इतना डरा हुआ नेता, क्यों?
— Asaduddin Owaisi (@asadowaisi) December 13, 2022
चीन ने तवांग में जो ज़ुर्रत की है, वो सिर्फ हमारे PM और सरकार की कमज़ोरी को दर्शाता है। सेना ने उसका जवाब दिया है पर चीन की ये हिम्मत इसलिए हुई है क्यूंकि मोदीजी ने जून २०२० में गलवान के बाद कहा "न कोई घुसा है"।
