New Delhi, Feb 13: The assertion that the Indian territory is up to Finger 4 in Pangong Tso area is categorically false, the Ministry of Defence said in a strongly worded statement after Rahul Gandhi claimed that India had ceded territory to China during the disengagement.
India has not conceded any territory as a result of the agreement with China, the ministry also said.
Further it said that even the Line of Actual Control as per the Indian perception is at Finger 8 and Finger 4. India has persistently maintained the right to patrol up to Finger 8, including in the current understanding with China, the Defence Ministry also said.
