Arunachal Pradesh was, is and will always be a part of India, Foreign Ministry replied to China

The Ministry of External Affairs of India on Thursday commented on the continuous statements claiming Arunachal Pradesh as its share. The Foreign Ministry said that no matter how many times Beijing repeats its absurd claims, it will not change our stand that Arunachal Pradesh was, is and will always be our part.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said this during a press briefing in response to a question on China continuing its claim on Arunachal Pradesh. His remarks came a few days after Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian reiterated China's claim on Monday. It came after a few days.

Responding to China, the Foreign Ministry said that on the Arunachal Pradesh issue, we have repeatedly said that China can repeat its baseless claims as many times as it wants, our point is not going to change. Arunachal Pradesh was, is and will always be a part of India. Even before this, India had said in a statement that China's opposition to the visit of Indian leaders to Arunachal is absurd and baseless.

The Indian Foreign Ministry gave this reply after China's claim in which China had described Arunachal Pradesh as a part of China. China's Defense Ministry spokesperson Colonel Zhang Xiaogang had stated on March 15 that it opposes the visit of Indian leaders to Arunachal. Let us tell you, that PM Modi had recently inaugurated the Sela Tunnel in Arunachal Pradesh. After this this statement of China came out. In which China said that 'Jijang (Chinese name of Tibet) is a part of China and China will never accept India's so-called Arunachal Pradesh and strictly opposes it.' However, the Indian Foreign Ministry gave a strong reply to China and said that India has already completely rejected such claims of China.
