Which young boy doesn’t colour his hair?” she questioned. Hitting out at Delhiites, she said, “Never expected that my son would die when I sent him to study in Delhi. Can’t imagine the pain of the mother… Delhi is the capital of India, if he doesn’t go there where else will he go?” she asked. She said that despite the incident she was proud to be an Indian. “Whenever people from Delhi come here (Arunachal Pradesh) we treat them with respect. People always think we are Nepali.. ask where is Arunachal Pradesh but we always feel proud to be Indian,” she said.
