"Absurd Claims Don't Make..." S Jaishankar To NDTV On China's New Map

India has dismissed a new "standard" map released by China that claims ownership of Arunachal Pradesh - which Beijing calls South Tibet - and Aksai Chin - occupied during the 1962 war. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar told NDTV in an exclusive interview China has a "habit" of releasing such maps and told China that merely including other countries' territories in its maps meant nothing. "China has put out maps with territories (that are) not theirs. (It is an) old habit. Just by putting out maps with parts of India... this doesn't change in anything. Our government is very clear about what our territory. Making absurd claims does not make other people's territories yours," he told NDTV.
