Speaking on China releasing new official map, laying territorial claim on the entire Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai Chin, Congress leader Manish Tewari on August 29 said that the real issue between India and China is that the Chinese have transgressed along the LAC at multiple points and that needs to be vacated. Manish Tewari said, “The absurdity and preposterousness of the Chinese claim is evidenced by the history of the Sino-Indian border dispute...Today, the real issue between India and China is that the Chinese have transgressed along the LAC at multiple points on a theatre level...Under those circumstances, the Government should seriously introspect whether it would be in accordance with India's self-respect to befitting a person in Delhi - Xi Jinping - who is in illegal occupation of 2000 square kilometres of Indian territory along the LAC. That is what needs to be vacated...To sum it up, the Chinese maps are preposterous, they are not in sync with the history of the Sino-India border dispute, China has no claim on Arunachal Pradesh...”.
