India asks Dalai Lama to refrain from political activities
New Delhi: India has asked the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, not to engage in political activities that could hurt the country’s ties with China, media reports said on Tuesday.
“Dalai Lama is a religious leader. India will render all the hospitality to him as he is a respectable guest, he will have full freedom to preach religion in India but he can’t conduct any political activity in this country that harms India-China ties,” External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee said in remarks broadcast on TV channels.
Speaking at a function in Behrampore in West Bengal, Mr. Mukherjee said there was no change in the Indian policy on Tibet that was formulated by Nehru. — DPA
