Pakistan, China creating border dispute with India 'under a mission': Rajnath Singh

Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday accused Pakistan and China of raising tensions at its northern and eastern borders "under a mission". 

The minister made this statement while he was virtually inaugurating a raft of Border Roads Organisation (BRO) projects. "You are well aware of the conditions created on our northern and eastern borders. First, it was Pakistan, and now also by China, as if a border dispute is being created under a mission," he said.

Singh said that India shared a border of 7,000 kilometers with both countries where tension prevails "on a daily basis". His comments come as India's efforts to make headway with China in its border dispute failed after almost five months since a deadly clash between PLA and Indian troops left several Indian Army soldiers killed. 

Lieutenant General BS Jaswal (retired), a former Northern Army commander, said that given the tense relations between India and Pakistan as well as India and China, "a collusive threat to India cannot be ruled out." 

His statement comes a day after Prime Minister Imran Khan blamed India for stoking sectarian tensions in the country with the assassination of Maulana Adil Khan in Karachi on Saturday night. 

Tensions have risen to a new high between the two countries since the last year when India, on August 5, 2019, revoked occupied Kashmir's special status and attempted to annex the territory. 

Pakistan has slammed India's moves to alter the demography of the area and its atrocity of placing more than 8 million people in a lockdown, even before the coronavirus pandemic began. 

In two separate addresses to the United Nations General Assembly, PM Imran Khan hit out at New Delhi, calling on the world to admonish India for its inhumane practices in the occupied territory.

Global coronavirus cases cross 40 million: Reuters tally

Worldwide coronavirus cases crossed 40 million on Monday, according to a Reuters tally, as the onset of winter in the northern hemisphere fuelled a resurgence in the spread of the disease. The Reuters tally is based on official reporting by individual countries. Experts believe the true numbers of both cases and deaths are likely much higher, given deficiencies in testing and potential under-reporting by some countries. The Reuters data shows the pace of the pandemic continues to pick up. It took just 32 days to go from 30 million global cases to 40 million, compared with the 38 days it took to get from 20 to 30 million, the 44 days between 10 and 20 million, and the three months it took to reach 10 million cases from when the first cases were reported in Wuhan, China, in early January. Record one-day increases in new infections were seen at the end of last week, with global coronavirus cases rising above 400,000 for the first time. There were an average of around 347,000 c...
