Why Didn't Indian Troops Open Fire During Violent Clash At Galwan Valley? : Capt. Amarinder Singh

Описание: Court-martial the officer who did not give orders to open fire at Chinese troops during the violent face-off on Monday night, Captain Amarinder Singh has said. The Punjab chief minister, who is a former military man, Captain Amarinder Singh said that he found it difficult to believe that Indian soldiers were carrying weapons and decided not to use them against the Chinese even after their commanding officer was killed.

Speaking to India Today TV's Rajdeep Sardesai, a visibly angry and emotional Captain Amarinder Singh said if the soldiers were carrying weapons, as Foreign Minister S Jaishankar has said, then the army should court-martial the officer who became the in-charge after the colonel's death and did not issue orders to open fire.

"First of all the statement that they were carrying arms has come after 48 hours. Secondly, when you see your commanding officer being killed, every soldier will pick up his weapon and open fire. I don't believe this [that soldiers did not open fire despite having weapons]," Amarinder Singh said.

"If they were carrying weapons, as the government has said, then the number 2 officer, who became in-charge after the colonel went down and did not issue orders to open fire, should be court-marshaled," Captain Amarinder Singh said.
