The Chinese neither entered our territory nor has any post been taken over by them, underscored Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the all-party meet to discuss the border incident along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh where 20 Indian soldiers died in the line of duty in brutal hand-to-hand combat with Chinese troops.

“Neither have they intruded into our border, nor has any post been taken over by them (China). Twenty of our jawans were martyred, but those who dared Bharat Mata, they were taught a lesson,” said PM Modi.

Underlining India’s might, the PM said no one can take even an “inch of the land”.

“Today, we possess the capability that no one can eye even one inch of our land. India’s armed forces have the capability to move into multiple sectors at one go,” said the PM.

I guess you didn't read the statement released by Army. the clash happened as the result of an attempt by the Chinese troops to "unilaterally change" the status quo during de-escalation in Eastern Ladakh.

As per the 1996 Bilateral Agreement signed by India (UPA Govt) and China on "Confidence-Building Measures in the Military Field Along the Line of Actual Control in the India-China Border Areas".

As per Article VI of the Agreement, the two countries are not to open fire within two kilometers from the line of actual control. This had been stipulated to prevent "dangerous military activities" and does not apply to routine firing activities in small arms firing ranges.
