Former exiled Tibetan PM calls new Chinese map 'inauthentic'

Dharamsala, July 2 (ANI): Former exiled Tibetan Prime Minister, Samdhong Rinpoche has said that cartographic representation of Arunachal Pradesh as a part of China's territory was an attempt to jeopardise improving Indo-Sino relationship, terming it inauthentic. Chinese government, in a new vertical map, has shown Arunachal Pradesh as a part of its territory, forcing the Indian government to reiterate that the state is an inalienable part of the country and cartographic depiction does not change the reality of the ground. Rinpoche added that China uses tactics of psychological pressurisation. India's border dispute with China dates back several decades and the nations have fought wars regarding the same in 1962.
