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.

Growing pains: China's surge hit by Trump and the pandemic

For the first time in nearly 30 years China has abandoned setting a growth target for its economy. That's not good news for an Australian economy over-exposed to China's fortunes but it is even worse news for China and its global leadership aspirations. China's Premier, Li Keqiang, in an address to the National People's Congress on Friday, cited the pandemic and the "economic and trade situation" for the absence of a specific target for economic growth. Chinese President Xi Jinping has had to deal with a trade war with the US along with a crippling pandemic. CREDIT: EVAN VUCCI After claiming growth of 6.1 per cent last year, China experienced a 6.8 per cent plunge in the economy in the March quarter during the worst effects of the virus' outbreak in Wuhan. While there was a rebound in industrial activity in April as the lockdowns ended – industrial output grew by 3.9 per cent – and coal consumption returned to more normal levels – retail sales ...

Boris Johnson To Set Out 5-Tier COVID-19 Warning System In England: Report

London: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will set out a five-tier warning system for the coronavirus in England on Sunday when he outlines the government's plans to begin slowly easing lockdown measures, British media reported. Johnson is due to use a televised address at 1800 GMT to announce the next steps in Britain's battle against the pandemic following a lockdown that has all but shut down the economy and kept millions at home for nearly seven weeks. Media reported Johnson would detail a five-tier warning system for England, ranging from "green" at level one to "red" at level five to flag the COVID-19 risk in different areas and to allow the government to increase restrictions where necessary. The United Kingdom's other constituent nations - Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - have some powers over their own lockdown measures but are expected to stay broadly in line with what the government announces for England.
