China's Leading Broadcaster CCTV Airs India's Map Without Arunachal and J&K

While Prime Minister NarendraModi's visit to China is on, China's leading broadcaster- state owned, of course- CCTV has aired a map of India, which does not have Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh.

A foundation for better bilateral relationship between both the countries was looking like a pleasant proposition, but this this act of utter provocation seems to have poisoned the bright prospects.   

Earlier today, the ChinesePresident XI Jinping and India PM Narendra Modi were seen walking hand in hand.

There has been a strong disagreement between the two countries for decades over Arunachal Pradesh. On one hand, it is an India state, and on the other, China claims it to be a part of its own. India accuses China of illegally occupying Aksai Chin, which is a rocky and largely empty region far to the northwest.

The two Asian countries have fought a war in 1962 over the territory; the only war in India's independent history that it has lost.

Home minister of India RajnathSingh has said today that all the contentious issues with China will be resolved in a peaceful manner during PM Modi's visit to the communist nation. He quoted former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee and said that friends can be changed but the neighbors cannot.

"India is one nation that believes that the whole world is family. I will try my best that the tension between China and India is lessened and I am sure that even China wants peace and hence will make efforts to achieve the same. We have not forgotten Atal ji's statement that friends can be changed but not neighbors," said the Home Minister.

India is expected to raise the issues like greater market access; removal of non-tariff barriers; investments in sectors such as defense; and of course, the border conflicts.
