India lodges protest with China over creation of 2 new counties in Hotan region

New Delhi, 3/1: India on Friday said it has lodged a “solemn protest” with China over establishment of two new counties in Hotan prefecture as parts of these regions fall in Indian union territory of Ladakh

In a strong reaction, New Delhi said creation of new counties will neither have a bearing on India’s long-standing and consistent position regarding its sovereignty over the area nor lend legitimacy to China’s “illegal and forcible” occupation
