New Delhi:
China had recently objected to ADB funding an irrigation project in Arunachal Pradesh, which is a "clear violation" of the charter of the multilateral lending agency, the Government informed the Rajya Sabha on Thursday.
Replying to questions, External Affairs Minister S M Krishna said India had made it clear to all member nations of ADB that political considerations couldn't be cited for prohibiting the Bank for evaluating any project.
All member countries on the board of Executive Directors of ADB except China supported the India funding plans.
"China did not endorse the Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) 2009-12 for India in the Board of the ADB on the ground that the proposed India CPS involved technical assistance funding for the Flood and River Erosion Management Project in Arunachal Pradesh which China claims is its territory," he said.
