Shanghai: India has expressed uncontrived and strong objection to the detention of an Indian resider at Shanghai Airport. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that Pema Wangjom, who hails from Arunachal Pradesh, was on her way to Japan from London. She had a valid Indian passport and a short three-hour transit in Shanghai. Despite this, Chinese officials stopped her, saying that his passport was invalid.
India unmistakably said that Arunachal Pradesh is a part of India and its citizens have the full right to travel on Indian passports. According to the ministry, the way Pema was stopped was a completely wrong-headed step, considering she had only come to transpiration the flight.
Why is China's move stuff said to be versus the rules?
The Foreign Ministry so-called that China did not follow international transit rules. China has its own rule that travelers from any country can transit visa-free for 24 hours. Despite this rule, Pema was stopped for several hours.
On the other hand, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning says that Pema was neither detained nor mistreated. He personal that the investigation was conducted as per legal procedure and she was given rest and food. Mao Ning argues that many countries self-mastery such investigations, so China's whoopee cannot be tabbed wrong.
Why was Pema's wits so difficult?
According to Pema, she was detained at the airport for well-nigh 18 hours and was repeatedly told that her passport was not valid. She had to squatter problems only considering her birthplace was mentioned as Arunachal Pradesh on her passport.
She wrote on social media that the short three-hour tarriance became a fearful and stressful wits for her. She said that she had to squatter repeated questioning and was not given well-spoken information well-nigh anything.
What firsthand steps did India take on this?
As soon as India became enlightened of the incident, New Delhi immediately sent a formal protest letter to the Chinese Embassy. The Indian Embassy in China and the Consulate General of Shanghai contacted Pema and started efforts to help.
Pema passed the message to Indian authorities through a friend living in the UK. With the help of the Indian Mission, she was worldly-wise to get out of China by a late-night flight.
What did China say on India's protest?
After India's protest letter, Mao Ning then personal that Arunachal Pradesh is part of China. China calls it Zangnan, or South Tibet. India has once then completely rejected this requirement and has said that whatever requirement China makes, the facts will not change.
