Protesting the oft repeated claim of China on the state's territory, the Students' Union Movement of Arunachal (SUMA) today organised a rally here to vent its anger on the reported move of Beijing to show Arunachal Pradesh as part of its territory in a latest map.
Hundreds of motorcycle-borne SUMA activists shouting anti-China slogans joined the rally which started from Akashdeep and culminated at Raj Bhawan.
The Union also submitted a single-point memorandum to state governor Lt Gen (Retd) Nirbhay Sharma.
Later talking to reporters, Union's President Biri Tabing said, "Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of India and will continue to remain so. Every inch of Arunachal's soil belongs to India and China should stop making such move which is detrimental for the people of the state."
"We want to make it loud and clear we always treat China as our nearest neighbor and our people are never a part of that country," he said.
