The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has criticized the People's Democratic Party (PDP) after its leader Iltija Mufti raised questions around the withholding of accounts on platform X belonging to media outlets including China's Global Times and Xinhua.
This controversy emerges as tension rises following China's announcement of new names for areas in Arunachal Pradesh, a region it claims as part of Tibet. The BJP's national spokesperson, Pradeep Bhandari, accused the Muftis of supporting Pakistan and China.
In response, India's External Affairs Ministry emphasized that Arunachal Pradesh remains an integral and inalienable part of India, rejecting China's attempts as futile and baseless.
