New Delhi/Beijing, May 14: India on Wednesday outrightly rejected as “vain and preposterous” China renaming 27 places in Arunachal Pradesh and said such attempts will not alter the “undeniable” reality that the state “was, is, and will” always remain an integral part of India.
New Delhi’s reaction came in response to Beijing announcing Chinese names for 27 places in Arunachal Pradesh, including 15 mountains, five residential areas, four mountain passes, two rivers and one lake.
China claims Arunachal Pradesh as part of southern Tibet and calls it Zangnan.
“We have noticed that China has persisted with its vain and preposterous attempts to name places in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said.
“Creative naming will not alter the undeniable reality that Arunachal Pradesh was, is, and will always remain an integral and inalienable part of India,” he said. (PTI)
