China's "standard" map shows Aksai Chin, which it occupied in the 1962 war, and Arunachal Pradesh, which it claims as South Tibet, as part of its territory.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today demanded a statement from Prime Minister Narendra Modi in response to China's release of a map that claims ownership of Aksai Chin and Arunachal Pradesh, which has been categorically rejected by India.
On Monday, China released a new "standard" map that shows Aksai Chin, which it occupied in the 1962 war, and Arunachal Pradesh, which it claims as South Tibet, as part of its territory. The map also shows the entire South China Sea as part of China, as it had in previous editions.
"I have been saying for years that what the PM said, that not one inch of land was lost in Ladakh, is a lie. The entire Ladakh knows that China has transgressed. This map issue is very serious. They have taken away the land. PM should say something about it," Rahul Gandhi said while leaving for Karnataka.
