India takes rigid anti-Tibet stand

  BEIJING, APR 3 (PTI)

According to China, New Delhi has assured that it will not tolerate 
any political anti-Beijing activities by Tibetans on the Indian 
territory.

For the second time in less than a week, China has briefed India on 
the Tibet issue.

Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi spoke over phone to his Indian 
counterpart Pranab Mukherjee and exchanged views on bilateral 
relations, explaining Beijing's 'principled stand' on the Dalai Lama 
issue, the state media said on Thursday.

''Mukherjee said the Tibet Autonomous Region is part of China's 
territory and India will never tolerate any political anti-China 
activities by Tibetans on the Indian Territory,'' official Xinhua 
news agency reported.

In the conversation on Wednesday, Yang also told Mukherjee that it 
had been proved ''and will continue to be proven'' that any scheme by 
the ''Dalai Clique'', referring to the supporters of the Tibetan 
spiritual leader, to split and break China was ''doomed to failure.''

The conversation comes after China's State Councilor Dai Bingguo's 
telephonic talk with National Security Adviser M K Naranayan on March 
30 when he briefed him on the ''violent crimes'' in Lhasa and 
''expounded'' China's stance on and concerns over the Tibet issue.
