Arunachal indivisible part of India: Khandu

Newly-elected Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu has said that the entire state is an indivisible part of India.

Asked to comment on the Chinese claim over Arunachal, including Tawang an important Buddhist centre and birth place of 6th Dalai Lama, he told media persons, "What to talk of Tawang, the entire Arunachal Pradesh is on this side of McMahon line and is an indivisible part of India."

Khandu was talking to media persons after taking oath as chief minister late Monday night. The 51-year-old is a Buddhist belonging to Monpa tribe of Tawang.
