The border dispute between India and China regarding Arunachal Pradesh is decades old, but adding to this dispute, a new case has come to light, in which a woman resident of Arunachal Pradesh has been severely tortured in China. The woman has alleged that the Chinese authorities had refused to accept her Indian passport as valid. Chinese officials detained and tortured the woman for 18 hours at Shanghai Airport.

Pema Wang Thongdok, a resident of Arunachal Pradesh, said that Chinese immigration officials detained her at the airport for 18 hours on Friday (November 21, 2025). He claimed that Arunachal Pradesh is a part of China, hence the Indian passport of a woman born in Arunachal is invalid. Actually, Pema Wang Thongdok was going from London to Japan on November 21, 2025, but in the meantime her plane stopped for three hours at Shanghai Airport in China, where Chinese officials stopped the woman and took her into custody.

At the same time, after an Indian woman was taken hostage at Shanghai Airport, Chinese officials tortured her by starving her for 18 hours.

Amidst the Bihar Assembly election campaign, RJD leader and Grand Alliance CM face Tejashwi Yadav said on Monday (October 27, 2025) that if his government is formed, he will throw the Waqf Act in the dustbin. Now politics has intensified on this statement of his. Now Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has hit back at Tejashwi’s statement. He sarcastically said that the state government cannot remove this law now.

Kiren Rijiju while talking to IANS said, ‘It is surprising that Tejashwi Yadav calls himself a contender for the post of Chief Minister and he does not know that the state government cannot remove any law passed in the Parliament. They do not have knowledge of the Constitution who are talking like this.

He said, ‘The people of Bihar and the people of the country are watching and laughing. What kind of language is this? In my opinion Tejashwi has no knowledge. Secondly, he is so yearning for the position that he will say anything. To get the votes of Muslims, they will say that they will throw the Waqf Act in the dustbin. How can he say that?’

Kiren Rijiju congratulated Chhath festival

On Chhath, the great festival of folk faith, Kiren Rijiju said, ‘Chhath Puja is very special. Worshiping the setting and rising sun is for the good of the world. This great festival binds all the communities and sections of the society together in one thread. I wish everyone good luck on the occasion of Chhath Puja.

What did the Union Minister say about the fodder scam?,

On the statement of former CBI Additional Director Upendra Nath Biswas regarding the fodder scam, the Union Minister said, ‘During the time of Congress, there was no such thing as system, they believed only in one family. You already know the mentality of the Congress Party and its leaders. For him, a family is everything. Be it CBI or court, he ran everything as per his wish. Never respected the Constitution or the law. The revelations made by the officials have now made it clear to everyone how Congress used to put pressure on state governments to remove them from power and how it used to harass people in those governments without any reason.

Congress and RJD ruled by misleading Muslims – Rijiju

Targeting Congress and RJD, Kiren Rijiju said, ‘Congress and RJD ruled for many decades by misleading and deceiving the Muslims, but now Muslims have started understanding, gradually they too will realize the truth. Gradually Muslims will also understand that the country is progressing under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi and it is their responsibility to keep everyone safe.
