‘Arbitrariness will not work at all…’, India bluntly tells China on misbehavior with Arunachal woman

India has expressed objection to the incident of alleged misbehavior and detention of a woman from Arunachal Pradesh at Shanghai Airport in China. India has warned China to avoid any arbitrary action.

The Indian government said that such steps would prove extremely detrimental to building the mutual trust and understanding needed to normalize bilateral relations.

External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said during a press briefing on Wednesday that India has lodged a strong objection to this issue and has raised it with Chinese officials in both Delhi and Beijing. He said that to restore normal relations between India and China, it is very important to maintain peace and harmony on the border. Jaiswal said that Arunachal Pradesh is an integral and inseparable part of India, and this is the fact. No matter how much denial is done by the Chinese, this undeniable reality is not going to change.

Jaiswal said that from October 2024, both the countries will have close cooperation to maintain peace and stability in the border areas. There will be no arbitrariness of any kind from China.

Let us tell you that China on Tuesday rejected the allegation that an Indian woman from Arunachal Pradesh was misbehaved at Shanghai Airport. Along with this, the Chinese Foreign Ministry once again used this incident as its claim on Arunachal Pradesh, which it calls ‘Jangnan’.

What is the matter?

On November 21, Pema Wang Thongdok, an Indian woman traveling from London to Japan, had said that her three-hour journey turned into an 18-hour ordeal when Chinese immigration officials declared her passport invalid simply because it mentioned Arunachal Pradesh as her birthplace. He said that on November 21, Chinese immigration officials held him hostage and tortured him for about 18 hours at Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
