In an attempt to forge a broad political consensus on the situation at the India-China border, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on June 17 called an all-party meeting on June 19. The move comes a day after the Army disclosed that 20 military personnel, including a colonel-rank officer, were killed in the worst flare-up on the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
The decision to call an all-party meeting comes after protracted discussions at top-level on June 16 night and June 17 morning. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh had met the Prime Minister late on June 16 and were joined by Home Minister Amit Shah, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
