Arunachal Pradesh MLA writes to PM Modi; urges to raise map issue with Xi Jinping at G20 Summit
China released its standard map that included India's Aksai Chin and Arunachal Pradesh, Congress MLA, Ninong Ering has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to raise the issue of People's Republic of China's aggression in the scheduled G20 Summit in Delhi on September 9-10.
In his letter to the PM on Tuesday, the Congress leader said that the 'deliberate incident' on the part of the PRC has invoked deep resentment among the people of Arunachal Pradesh.
«This unforeseen, unfortunate yet deliberate incident on the part of PRC has invoked deep resentment among the people of Arunachal Pradesh, it is in common knowledge that the PRC has earlier too tried to assert its claim over Arunachal Pradesh by renaming 11 locations in April 2023, 15 locations in 2021 and 6 places in 2017,» Ering said.
The Congress MLA who represents the Pashighat-west seat, a constituency bordering the Chinese-controlled Tibet Autonomous Region, in the Arunachal Pradesh legislative assembly, said that the recent release of the 'PRC Standard Map' is a culmination of their nefarious plans and a matter of importance since Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of India and has scarred memories of the 1962 Sino-Indian war.
In his letter, he also mentioned the Galwan Valley clash between the troops of India and China.
«As you know, India is engaged in combat with an aggressive PRC along the Indo-Tibetan border in the Himalayas and 20 of Indian Army personnel gave their lives while defending India's frontiers against the PLA in Galwan Valley in 2020. Prior to this, you have emphasized that no one can seize an inch of India's land.
