MEA dealt with the Chinese incursion issue very adeptly: Congress

NEW DELHI: The Ministry of External Affairs handled the Chinese incursion issue "very adeptly" resulting to the end of the three-week long face off between Indian and Chinese troops in Ladakh, Congress said today.

"The Foreign Ministry dealt with the situation very adeptly and situation is back to normal," party spokesperson Renuka Chowdhury told reporters, a day after the end of the face-off.

Her statement came close on the heels of the Indian government's statement that there was no "deal" with China, which also confirmed that the "stand off incident" has been resolved.

Beijing, however, did not mention whether the status quo in the sector, as it existed prior to April 15, will be restored or not.
