* The people of Arunachal Pradesh are Indian citizens.
* They are proud participants and part of India's vibrant democracy.
* 72% of polling happend during assembly election in Arunachal Pradesh is the indication that the Indian citizen living there have sent a strong signal to China that what they want.

India on Tuesday expressed disappointment and concern over China objecting to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s visit to Arunachal Pradesh for the poll campaign. It asserted that the State is an integral and inalienable part of the country and that the comment did not help the ongoing boundary talks between the two countries.

Reacting to a statement from Beijing, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Vishnu Prakash said the people of Arunachal Pradesh are India’s citizens who proudly took part in the mainstream of the country’s vibrant democracy. He said China was well aware of this position of the Government of India.

Earlier China expressed it's "strong dissatisfaction" on Indian Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh's visit to the Indian State, Arunachal Pradesh for an election campaign.

China on Tuesday expressed its "strong dissatisfaction" over an Indian leader's visit to a disputed border region.

"China is strongly dissatisfied with the visit to the disputed region by the Indian leader disregarding China's serious concerns," said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu.

Ma said China and India had never officially settled demarcation of their border, and China's stance on the eastern section of the China-India border was consistent and clear-cut.

"We demand the Indian side address China's serious concerns and not trigger disturbance in the disputed region so as to facilitate the healthy development of China-India relations," Ma said.

Their power is starting to go to their heads. Not a good sign about China.

Thanks for posting this. I would never have run across this on my own, IA.

Thank you, Roy.

This would be a bit more interesting.

India is taking a serious view of china issuing visas to Kashmiris on a separate piece of paper and stapling it instead of stamping it on the passport. China had started this practice recently in the case of those hailing from Arunachal Pradesh, which Beijing claims is part of its Tibetan territory. India sees this as an as an attempt by China to question the status of Jammu and Kashmir as part of India.

The move is not just considered a diplomatic snub to India but has also frustrated the Kashmiris who are caught in the middle as India has, in retaliation, refused to entertain the stapled visas, said a GreaterKashmir.com press release Oct 1. It said holders of such visas were rejected even after the travellers returned with letters from the Chinese Embassy stating that the visas were genuine.

Who knows ..Maybe China would issue seperate paper visa to people from Quebec also...!

India has also registered a strong protest on this comment.

“We, therefore, express our disappointment and concern over the statement made by the Official Spokesman of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, since this does not help the process of ongoing negotiations between the two Governments on the Boundary Question,” the spokesperson said.

Further the high turnout of people of Arunachal Pradesh in the assembly elections held today mocks the Chinese claims.
