India has also reacted to Chinese media reports which state that one of the officers involved in Galwan clash is a torchbearer of the Winter Olympics.

India believes that Beijing has politicized Galwan clashes and has decided that its charge d'affaires in Beijing will not be attending the opening or closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics beginning on Thursday.

"It is indeed regrettable that the Chinese side has chosen to politicise an event like the Olympics. I wish to inform you that our charge d'affaires of the embassy of India in Beijing will not be attending the opening or closing ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Olympics," Bagchi said. (ANI)
