India rejects China's renaming of Arunachal Pradesh as a mischievous attempt to claim territory.

India has rejected China's latest efforts to rename locations in Arunachal Pradesh, calling the move a "mischievous attempt" to falsely claim territory. The Ministry of External Affairs stated the renaming is baseless and does not change the region's status as an integral part of India. Officials urged China to cease actions that harm bilateral relations and hinder efforts to improve ties between the two nations.
