MEA Spokesperson strongly criticised China’s objections and reiterated that ‘Arunachal Pradesh was, is & will all the time stay an integral and inalienable a part of India.’ MEA Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi says, “We completely reject the comments made by the Chinese Official Spokesperson. Indian leaders routinely travel to the state of Arunachal Pradesh as they do to any other state of India. Arunachal Pradesh was, is and will always remain an integral and inalienable part of India. Objecting to such visits does not stand to reason and will not change the above reality.”
During his visit on Monday, Shah launched ‘Vibrant Villages Programme’ from Arunachal’s border village Kibithoo, India’s easternmost place. Responding to a query on Shah’s visit, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin stated, “Zangnan (the Chinese name for Arunachal Pradesh) is part of China’s territory”.
“The activity of the senior Indian official in Zangnan violates China’s territorial sovereignty and is not conducive to peace and tranquility in the border areas. We are firmly against this,” he stated at a media briefing.
