The recent clash between the forces of the two nations happened on December 9.
While the Chinese side alleged that Indian troops had "illegally crossed the Line (of Actual Control)", Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Minister while addressing the nation's lower house of the parliament said that China had attempted to "unilaterally change the status quo", to which Indian troops had responded with a befitting reply.
Dalai Lama also gave an update on his health. "Medical checkup. Otherwise so basic sort of physical condition no problem. There is little pain (shows his left arm near shoulder) otherwise no problem," he said.
