India has firmly rejected China’s claim that an Arunachal Pradesh woman was not detained at Shanghai airport. Pema Wangjom Thongdok said officials told her that her passport was “invalid” because it listed Arunachal Pradesh as her birthplace. China denied any detention or harassment. India hit back, calling Arunachal Pradesh an “integral and inalienable part of India” and an “indisputable reality.” The MEA said China’s actions violated international air travel rules and its own transit norms. Arunachal chief minister Pema Khandu also condemned the treatment, calling it racial mockery. (PC: X)
