State Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu termed China's claim on Arunachal Pradesh as rubbish.

"China is our friendly neighbour. Almost 1200 kilometres of our area is adjoined to the China border. They keep on claiming Arunachal Pradesh as their part, which is wrong," Khandu said.

"From centuries, Tibet and we share the same border. We have no border issues with China. China's claim on Arunachal is all bogus," said Dorjee Khandu."
