Arunachal Pradesh is an inalienable, indistinguishable and inseparable part of India, the Congress asserted on Tuesday and called on the Modi government to come out with the “strongest rebuttal” to the Chinese on their “pathetic claims” on the state.
China on Monday continued to claim that Arunachal Pradesh has “always been” its territory, notwithstanding India dismissing Beijing’s claim as “absurd” and “ludicrous”.
On Monday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian reiterated China’s claim reacting to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar’s assertions on Saturday, dismissing China’s repeated claims on Arunachal Pradesh as “ludicrous” .
In a post on X, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said Arunachal Pradesh is an inalienable, indistinguishable and inseparable part of India.
“The Indian National Congress strongly condemns and opposes any idea of an iota of Chinese claims on Arunachal Pradesh. This is the fourth time in a month, that the Chinese, from its highest offices, have made completely ludicrous and farcical claims,” he said.
Kharge said China’s record in making absurd claims by renaming places and redrawing maps of territories, belonging to other countries, is well known.
