India on Wednesday dismissed China’s efforts to change the name of some places in Arunachal Pradesh. India clearly stated that this state was “an integral part of India, and will remain”.
Significantly, this reaction of New Delhi has come in response to the announcement of Chinese names for some places in Arunachal Pradesh by Beijing, which the neighboring country claims to be the southern part of Tibet.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said, “We have seen that China is engaged in its futile and fruitless efforts to name the places in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh.”
He said, “According to our theoretical attitude, we clearly reject such efforts.
Jaiswal was answering a media question on this issue. B said, “The creative nomenclature will not change the undisputed reality that Arunachal Pradesh was an integral and inseparable part of India, and will always be.”
