“Whenever any Minister from Central Government visits Arunachal Pradesh we first of all request to give attention to border areas. We have to give education, health , electricity , water supply facilities and most importantly communication,” Mein said in his address at the second-day of the three-day state executive meeting.
Apprising about the recent hour-long meeting of Chief Minister Pema Khandu with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi, the Deputy Chief Minister said that the CM apprised PM about border issues and urged for development of infrasturcture in the border areas.
While his Cabinet colleague and BJP leader Mama Natung, in his address, lambasted China for claiming Arunachal as it’s part.
“It’s 1962. What China had done they had done earlier. We are not part of China. We are Indian. We are with the Government of India. We have faith in our army and they won’t allow even to encroach and inch of land,” he said.
