While China's military on Tuesday said that Indian troops 'illegally' crossed the "disputed" border on December 9, its foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin asserted that the situation along the border with India was "generally stable".  “As far as we know, the current border situation between China and India is generally stable. As for the specific questions you mentioned, I suggest you refer to the competent authorities," Wang responded to a question on the clash.


Speaking on Rishi Aurobindo, PM Modi said, “The life and birth of Sri Aurobindo is a reflection of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat. Although he was born in Bengal, he spent most of his life in Gujarat and Puducherry. Wherever he went, he left a deep impression of his personality. This is a great inspiration for the immortality of freedom."
