ITANAGAR, 18 May:<\/strong> The Himalayan Suraksha Manch of Arunachal Pradesh (HSMAP) has strongly condemned China’s recent attempt to rename 26 places in Arunachal, calling it a desperate move.<\/p>\n Describing the act as laughable, the HSMAP asserted that China’s attempts to alter place names in an Indian state will not change the truth.<\/p>\n “Arunachal Pradesh was, is, and will always remain an integral part of India,” the organisation said in a press statement.<\/p>\n It noted that under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Pema Khandu, Arunachal is witnessing remarkable all-round development. “Their firm stand against China’s unwarranted renaming of places<\/p>\n \u00a0reflects their deep commitment to protecting the state’s dignity and identity, garnering widespread appreciation,” the organisation said.<\/p>\n The organisation reminded China of the bravery of 2 Jammu and Kashmir Rifles Havildar Shere Thaapa, who during the 1962 Indo-China aggression had killed 175 People’s Liberation Army soldiers in the Tama Chung Chung ridge in Upper Subansiri district.<\/p>\n It said that over six decades later, India has significantly bolstered its defence capabilities beyond China’s expectations.<\/p>\n “China should also remember that India will not tolerate any attack on its land, air, or sea area, as categorically stated by Prime Minister Modi,” the HSMAP warned.<\/p>\n “We caution both Pakistan and China that all Indians stand united behind the PM-led central government and celebrate the success of Operation Sindoor. Any misadventure by either nation would invite severe consequences,” HSMAP president Tarh Tarak and secretary-general Nima Sangey Saling said.<\/p>\n The HSMAP saluted the Indian armed forces for their precision strikes on nine targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) under Operation Sindoor. These strikes were in response to the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir on 22 April.<\/p>\n “This operation was not only a defeat for Pakistan but also a humiliation for its close ally China, as India’s Russian-made S-400 missiles successfully detected, tracked, and intercepted multiple China-made Pakistani missiles, drones, and aircraft targeting strategic locations along India’s western border,” the HSMAP said.<\/p>\n The HSMAP concluded with a clear message: “Door raho, drust raho (Stay away, stay safe)” to those threatening India’s sovereignty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ITANAGAR, 18 May: The Himalayan Suraksha Manch of Arunachal Pradesh (HSMAP) has strongly condemned China’s recent attempt to rename 26 places in Arunachal, calling it a desperate move.
