China's 'shove and push' tactic did not work with India, we got international support: CDS Gen Bipin Rawat 

Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat said on Thursday that China felt that doing a little bit of "shove and push" will help them compel nations to give in to their demands. He added that India stood firm on the northern borders, proving that "we will not get pushed".

China's "shove and push" tactics to compel nations to give in to their demands did not deter India in Ladakh, Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat said on Thursday. Addressing a virtual discussion at the ongoing Raisina Dialogue, Gen Bipin Rawat said, "They [China] feel just by doing a little bit of shove and push they will be able to compel nations to give in to their demands. But India stood firm on the northern borders, and we have proven that we will not get pushed." He said that India, by standing firm, prevented a change in status quo. "We have been able to gather world support and I think the international community has to come to our support to say yes there is an international rule-based order which every nation must follow. This is what we have been able to achieve."
