The Arunachal Congress has publicly condemned the United Nations' map that shows the state, labeling it inaccurate.
The Arunachal Congress issued a formal objection to a United Nations map that depicts Arunachal Pradesh in a manner the party deems erroneous. In a statement released on Monday, the regional party described the representation as "inaccurate" and warned it could fuel misunderstandings about the state's boundaries. The UN map, which is part of a broader cartographic database, shows the northeastern state within the disputed territory claimed by China, a point that has long been sensitive in New Delhi's foreign policy. Party leaders urged the international body to revise the depiction to reflect the officially recognised borders of India. The objection underscores ongoing diplomatic sensitivities surrounding the region and the importance of accurate cartographic representation in international forums.
