Joshi further stated that Session will mainly be devoted to the Financial Business relating to Union Budget for 2023-24 and discussion on the Motion of Thanks on President’s address. However, essential Legislative and other Business will also be taken up during the Session.

The incident came to light through media reports on December 12 that said that several Indian and PLA soldiers had been injured in the skirmish. The report brought back the bitter memories of the 2020 Galwan Valley incident in Ladakh wherein 20 Indian soldiers including a colonel were martyred in a clash with PLA troops.

The meeting was held under the Chairmanship of Union Minister of Defence, Shri Raj Nath Singh. It was also attended by Union Minister for Commerce & Industry, Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution & Textiles, Shri Piyush Goyal who is also the Leader of the House in Rajya Sabha;
