India will never bow down to any world power: PM Modi to soldiers injured in Galwan Valley

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday interacted with soldiers who were injured in Galwan Valley during clashes with Chinese troops during his surprise visit to Ladakh.
"Our country has never bowed down and will never bow down to any world power, and I am able to say this because of braves like you," the PM said as he interacted with the soldiers at the hospital.

The morale-boosting visit comes at a time of heightened tension along the Line of Actual Control on the country's eastern border with China.
Earlier in the day, paying tributes to the 20 Army men killed in a violent face-off with Chinese troops in east Ladakh, Prime Minister Modi said the bravery shown by the soldiers has sent a message to the world about India's strength.

Addressing Army, Air Force and ITBP personnel during his surprise visit to Ladakh, he said the days of "expansionism" are over the world has made up its mind against such tendencies.
