"No one can even occupy land equal to a needle point" -Amit Shah on Arunachal Pradesh.

The Union Home Minister Amit Shah today launched the Vibrant Villages Programme' in Kibithoo and various other programmes.
During
his speech on the occasion, Shah
asserted the people of Arunachal Pradesh, stating, “no one can even occupy land equal to a
needle point”.
"Times
when anyone could encroach on Indian land have passed. Today no one can even
occupy land equal to a needle point. The spirit of Arunachal residents forced
China to retreat in 1962,” said the Union Home Minister.
His
remarks came amid China's firm objection to his visit to the village in
Arunachal Pradesh, bordering China, stating, that it violated Chinese
sovereignty over the area.
“Zangnan,
(the Chinese name for Arunachal Pradesh) is China’s territory. Indian
officials’ activities in this area violate China’s sovereignty and (are) not
conducive to peace and tranquility in the border regions. We firmly oppose it,”
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin told a media briefing,
Reuters reported.
Talking
about the developments that took place in the Northeastern states, Shah said,
“Before 2014, the entire northeast region was known as a disturbed region but
in the last nine years because of PM Modi’s ‘Look East’ policy, Northeast is
now considered an area which contributes to the development of the country.”
He
added that the border areas are the first priority of the Prime Minister
Modi-led government.
“The
entire country can sleep peacefully in their homes today because our ITBP
jawans and the Army are working day and night on our borders. Today, we can
proudly say that no one has the power to cast an evil eye on us,” he said.
Shah also launched 9 mini-micro hydroelectric projects along with a
plethora of schemes initiated by ITBP at Kibithoo and also attended an
exhibition organised by women-led SHGs.
The
Home Minister Amit Shah's visit to Arunachal Pradesh comes after China's
announced renaming of 11 places of Arunachal Pradesh that it claims as part of
its territory.
