Terming the Tibet developments an ‘internal affair’ of China, the CPI raised objections over a visiting US diplomat meeting the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.
“The government should see that their meeting does not turn into an anti-China meeting,” CPI general secretary A B Bardhan said.
Speaker of United States House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi met the Dalai Lama at Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh.
Maintaining that Tibet issue was an internal affair of China, Bardhan said, “all countries have internal areas where situation is sometimes disturbed. There should be no interference from anyone.”
Bardhan was in Hyderabad to oversee the arrangements for CPI’s 20th national Congress scheduled to be held from March 23.
The CPI leader accused the Congress-led UPA government of taking India towards ‘strategic partnership’ with the US which would harm the country.
“We can be friendly with America but cannot become its military ally,” Bardhan said.
