The Chinese troops left after intruding 20 kms into Indian territory and staying put for 3 days!
Were they persuaded to leave
with Indian beer and Rasogullas? (Bad idea - they'll probably come back for more).
Or were they deterred by pictures of Mumtaz BanuArjee and Jyoti Basu - disgusted/intimidated by the prospect of having to deal with
the numerous "useful idiots" if they had intruded all the way up to Calcutta?
The army spokesperson is apparently trying to minimize the incident - seeking to portray it as
a common occurrence in "disputed" territory.
Fine, show me one incident wherein the Indian army intruded 20 kms into Chinese held territory...
Unless, you want to take the Chinese position and count the Indian army's presence in Arunachal Pradesh itself as a
"foray into disputed territory".
That would be the expected position from a certain christist coconut oil salesman from Kerala - not a spokesman of the Indian army.

In yet another face-off with Indian soldiers, Chinese troops had come more than 20 kilometres inside Indian territory in Chaglagam area of Arunachal Pradesh on August 13 and stayed there for over two days.
However, the Army Headquarters sought to play down the incursion, saying the Chinese troops have gone back to their areas and such incidents keep taking place as both sides enter areas claimed by the other side while patrolling the disputed Line of Actual Control (LAC).
People's Liberation Army (PLA) troops had come over 20 kms inside Indian-claimed territory in Chaglagam area of Arunachal Pradesh and after they were stopped by the Indian troops, the two sides showed banners to each other to leave the area, sources said here.
However, the two sides held to their positions and the Chinese soldiers left after staying put for two-three days, they said.
