"Arunachal Pradesh has never been a part of China, and Arunachalees hold the strongest patriotism for India.
"Arunachal is an integral part of India, and if we go by history, people of the state had participated in the country's freedom movement. People here have never been under the Chinese rule," AAPSU president Hawa Bagang said.
