New Delhi: India’s neighboring countries, whether it is Pakistan or China, India remains at loggerheads with both the countries. Arunachal Pradesh, adjacent to the border line of China, has again started drawing lines of dispute between the two countries. Recently, China presented its claim on Arunachal Pradesh. Beijing has released the fourth list of 30 new names of various places in the state of Arunachal Pradesh. Even before this, China had released three lists in which it had changed the names of many places in the state. On this matter, the country’s Defense Minister Rajnath Singh has now given a befitting reply to the neighboring country.
The Defense Minister said, “India has been completely rejecting China’s efforts to change the names of places in Arunachal Pradesh. India says that all these states of Arunachal, whose names have been given by China in its list, are an integral part of India. Keeping imaginary names will not change the reality. If tomorrow we change the names of some provinces and some states of China, will those areas become a part of India?
‘Nothing will happen by changing the name’
Rajnath Singh further said that we want to maintain good relations with our neighbours. But if someone tries to hurt India’s honour, today India has the power to respond to it. Changing the name is not going to do anything.
China has released a total of 4 lists
It has been said in the local report of Beijing that these names given by China will come into effect from May 1. Let us tell you that the first list of changed names of many places in Arunachal Pradesh was released by China in the year 2017. The second list came in the year 2021 in which the names of 15 places were changed. After this, another list of names of 11 places was released in the year 2023.
However, after this statement of Rajnath Singh, it is clear that India is not ready for any kind of agreement or talks with China. India has made it clear that Arunachal is an integral part of India. Changing someone’s name cannot separate him from India.
