NEW DELHI: In a strong reaction to China’s objection to Prime Minister Narendra Modi visiting Arunachal Pradesh, India today said its leaders and people have the right to visit the northeastern state, asserting that it is an integral part of the country.
Modi had yesterday visited Arunachal Pradesh after which China, which claims the State as part of the South Tibet, asked India to refrain from taking any action that may “complicate” the boundary question.
“Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of India. Our leaders and people have the right to visit Arunachal Pradesh,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar told reporters when asked about Chinese objection. (AGENCIES)
