Renaming place doesn't make illegally-held land legal: MEA
External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Gopal Baglay has said that renaming or inventing a name for a place does not make illegally-held territory legal. His comment comes in the backdrop of China recently renaming six places in Arunachal Pradesh on its maps. Notably, China refers to Arunachal Pradesh as part of South Tibet with close links to Tibet Autonomous Region.
