India on Thursday said that its charge d’affaires at the embassy in Beijing city would not attend the opening or closing ceremonies of the 2022 Winter Olympics after China’s decision to choose a People’s Liberation Army regiment commander involved in the Galwan Valley clash as a torchbearer, PTI reported.
