Sir — This refers to the editorial, “Not to be brow-beaten” (March 6). Of late, China has been assuming the role of a big brother to other Asian countries. However, it is none of China’s business to dictate to other countries on the Dalai lama issue. It may be recalled that China had objected to the visit of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to Arunachal Pradesh. This time it is at it again, raising objections to the Dalai lama’s visit to the famous Tawang Gompa monastery of Arunachal Pradesh.
Not only has China failed to respect India’s sovereignty, but it has also been a stumbling block for India’s entry into the Nuclear Suppliers Group, besides thwarting the bid of other countries to put Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar on the UN terror list.
