‘Mischievous attempts’: India slams China for giving ‘fictitious names’ to places in Arunachal
- On Sunday, India rejected China's renaming of places in Arunachal Pradesh, with External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal calling it a "mischievous attempt." Jaiswal stated such "baseless narratives cannot alter the undeniable reality" of India's territorial claim.
- Beijing has carried out similar renaming exercises in 2017, 2021, 2023, and 2024 during heightened border tensions. New Delhi previously rejected a 2025 attempt to rename 27 places, calling it "preposterous."
- The ministry urged Beijing to avoid steps that could "inject negativity" into the relationship, warning that such actions undermine efforts to stabilize and normalize bilateral ties.
- Tensions have remained high since the 2020 eastern Ladakh standoff, though both sides recently took steps to ease friction. The first renaming move followed the Dalai Lama's visit to the state in 2017.
- India categorically rejects the assignment of fictitious names to places forming part of its territory. Jaiswal emphasized these regions will always remain an integral and inalienable part of the nation.
