The meeting comes after the PM Modi had visited Leh earlier this week and addressed soldiers following the June 15 clashes in the higher reaches of that region with Chinese troops in which 20 army personnel sacrificed their lives for the nation.
During his meeting with the soldiers, Modi quoted the verse from Srimad Bhagawad Gita to inspire the soldiers, sending a strong message to China. He said that now the time has come for the entire nation to stand united against a bully.
