India raised Tibet, stapled visa with China |
There is no quid pro quo with China on the two issues, India`s External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj told the Rajya Sabha. Responding to supplementaries on the issue of stapled visa to Arunachal residents by China, she said "the issue has been raised in every bilateral meeting at various levels, be it at my level or that of the Prime Minister. Asked about India`s stand on Tibet, she said India used to earlier talk of One China policy, but it said that Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of India. On the issue of whether India remained a mute spectator towards the alleged atrocities in Tibet, the minister denied and said whenever there are differences, India raises them. She said the Dalai Lama wanted to visit Tawang and India allowed him to do so. Whatever issue that is there that goes against India`s interest, India lodges her protest. There was no policy under which Chinese companies are denied security permission. She also objected to a member raising the issue of a particular Chinese company in the House. She said that denial of security permission to one particular company cannot determine the relations between the two countries.
