On China`s claim regarding Arunachal Pradesh and EAM Dr S Jaishankar`s response to it, Congress MP Manish Tewari slammed the centre and called the response "weak." "EAM S Jaishankar gave a wonderful statement yesterday. He said that if today I change the name of your house, will it become mine?... Such a weak response does not suit the Government of India and the External Affairs Minister of the country," said Tewari.

Lashing out further, he said that those who have been espousing muscularity about Katchatheevu, it is unfortunate and regrettable that they are scared of even uttering the word China. Recently, China released a list of 30 places in Arunachal Pradesh in a bid to assert its claim over India`s northeastern state. India has been rejecting such renaming of places by China.
