arunachals peak is named after dalai lama china gets annoyed says this is our territory

China has an old habit of claiming someone else’s land as its own. But Indian mountaineers have done something which has angered China. Indian mountaineers have expressed their displeasure over the naming of an unnamed peak in Arunachal Pradesh after the sixth Dalai Lama, once again asserting their territorial claim on the area. China said that establishing the so-called ‘Arunachal Pradesh’ in Chinese territory is illegal and invalid.

A team from the National Institute of Mountaineering and Adventure Sports (NIMAS) successfully climbed the 20,942 feet high peak in Arunachal Pradesh and named it in honor of the 6th Dalai Lama, Tsangyang Gyatso. Tsangyang Gyatso was born in 1682 in the Mon Tawang region. NIMAS, located in Dirang, Arunachal Pradesh, works under the Ministry of Defence. The Defense Ministry said naming the peak after the Sixth Dalai Lama is a tribute to his enduring wisdom and his significant contributions to the Monpa community and beyond.

China has expressed displeasure over this and once again laid claim to this area. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said in a media briefing that I am not aware of what you said. Let me say broadly that the area of ​​Jangnan is Chinese territory, and it is illegal and invalid for India to establish the so-called Arunachal Pradesh in Chinese territory. This has been China’s consistent stance. China calls Arunachal Pradesh as Jangnan. India has been rejecting China’s claims saying that Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of India.
