The activists have been booked under Section 7(1)(a) of the Criminal Law Amendment Act read along with Section 4 of The Foreigners Act (obstruction, intent to use violence and loitering).

This summit comes at a time when the Sino-Indian relations are subdued due to various irritants and it hopes to iron them out.
