Resfusing to share in the euphoria of ally BJP over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's China visit, Shiv Sena today accused the neighbouring country of pursuing a policy of "hugging from the front and stabbing from behind".


"Our experience has shown that China believes in hugging from the front and stabbing from behind. On one hand they gave a grand welcome to Prime Minister Modi during his visit to China, and on the other, wiped off Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh from India's map," said an editorial in the Sena mouthpiece, 'Saamana'.


Reporting on the Indian Prime Minister's visit, China's state-owned television, CCTV, showed an India map without Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh as part of its territory.


Sena said India needs to realise that this act shows China will not mend its ways as far as the issue of its using India maps excluding Arunachal Pradesh and Kashmir was concerned.
