"The Indian National Congress strongly condemns and opposes any idea of an iota of Chinese claims on Arunachal Pradesh. This is the 4th time in a month, that the Chinese, from their highest offices, have made completely ludicrous and farcical claims," Mallikarjun Kharge, posted on X on Tuesd
While referring to Beijing's claims as "ludicrous", the EAM said that Arunachal Pradesh is a part of India because it is a part of the country, and not only because a foreign country says so.
The senior Biden administration official's statement came a few days after the Chinese military repeated its claim over the northeast state after Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a visit here and launched development projects.
The Ministry of External Affairs, in an official statement, also noted that the people of Arunachal Pradesh will "continue to benefit" from India's development programmes and infrastructure projects.
Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan on Monday called unsettled borders with China and the rise of China as "the most formidable challenge" that India and Indian armed forces will face in the "foreseeable future."
"Further, it will not change the reality that the State of Arunachal Pradesh was, is, and will always be an integral and inalienable part of India. Chinese side has been made aware of this consistent position on several occasions," the MEA said.
From the India-China border situation in Ladakh to the violence in Manipur, Congress posed four questions to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the allegedly increasingly "disturbed" situation in different parts of the northeast.
In a stern reply to India amid the diplomatic standoff between the two nations, China has said that deploying more troops at the border would not ease tensions. It said that it is committed to upholding peace and tranquility in the border areas.
ndia on Wednesday blocked the China-led Investment Facilitation Development Agreement (IFD) in the World Trade Organization (WTO) and this would result in unlike mention of the proposal in the outcome document of the ministerial conference.
The report further highlighted that market watchers are quite keen on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's return to power for a third straight term in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls which will bring greater predictability to economic policies
