Arunachal an integral part of India : Advani

Itanagar: Sending a loud message to Beijing from Arunachal Pradesh, which the former claims as its own, BJP stalwart L K Advani on Thursday made it clear that the Himalayan state is an integral part of India. Addressing a meeting at Naharlagun, near the state capital, as part of his Jana Chetna Yatra, Advani said the BJP's stand is clear about not compromising on the issue, and he had categorically told Chinese President Hu Jintao as much during his recent trip to New Delhi.

"Arunachalees are patriots and by adopting Hindi as their lingua-franca they have proven not only their adaptability but also present a true picture of unity in diversity," Advani said.

"Today's programme coincides with the Chinese aggression on October 20 in 1962 amidst the then Indian government's 'Hindi-Chini bhai bhai' policy, which had left the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru devastated and shocked, making him ill from which he never recovered," he pointed out. "Since the sudden Chinese attack, it has been BJP's a vowed policy to give special treatment to all Arunachal issues," he stressed, reiterating there cannot be any compromise on the territory of Arunachal, Jammu and Kashmir or any part of the country under foreign occupation.
