'Not even an inch given to China': Kiren Rijiju in Parliament

Following Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav's sharp attack that China is encroaching on the Indian side, parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju on Tuesday said that China has not intruded "even an inch" into the Indian territory, including in Arunachal Pradesh, since the 1962 war.

"When Akhilesh Yadav said that China has entered and occupied areas in the state I come from, I felt it was necessary to clarify. The area China currently holds in Arunachal Pradesh was already under its control either before or during the 1962 war," the minister said.
