Arunachal Pradesh Home Minister Mama Natung has made a major statement regarding China. He stated that China will not be able to occupy even an inch of Indian territory. According to him, this is not the India of 1962, but a 'New India'. He dismissed the news regarding Chinese infiltration in Arunachal Pradesh as rumors and speculation being spread on social media.

Mama Natung said that earlier Arunachal Pradesh was called the last state of India, but now it is considered the first state of the country. Similarly, the village that was previously called the last village of the country has now become the first village. He emphasized that along with the army personnel deployed at the border, the people of Arunachal Pradesh also stand like a rock.

Natung had arrived on Sunday to attend an event organized at the Brahma Kumaris Spiritual University in Sirohi district, Rajasthan. Speaking to the media during this event, he said that news of tension on international borders surfaces from time to time. Tension with neighboring countries is nothing new. His statement underscored India's border security and the strategic importance of Arunachal Pradesh.
