โ€œThe infrastructures shown in the satellite images, which are said to be constructed by China inside Arunachal Pradesh are actually in a territory which have been under Chinaโ€™s occupation since 1959,โ€ said CM Pema Khandu in Shillong.

Pema Khandu is in Shillong, where he attended the plenary session of the Northeast Council (NEC).

Khandu further said, โ€œChinaโ€™s claim over Arunachal Pradesh is baseless and illogicalโ€.

Meanwhile, China has also dismissed the reports of it building a village in Arunachal Pradesh.

China said that the infrastructures are within its own territory.

โ€œWe have never recognised the so-called Arunachal Pradesh illegally established on Chinese territory,โ€ Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying had said on Thursday.
