05/04/2017
New Delhi, 5 abr (EFE).- El dalái lama culpó hoy a "políticos chinos cortos de mente" of the controversy that arose between China and India on the occasion of their visit to the northeastern Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, that Delhi and Beijing dispute, by insisting that his journey is purely religious and that he does not yearn for independence.

The Nobel Peace Prize 1989 por su lucha pacífica a favor de la liberación del Tíbet aseguró que "muchos chinos aman la India", pero que son los "políticos chinos cortos de mente" los que afirman que las autoridades indias le están "usando" against Beijing.

"Me consideran un demonio, although I don't think anyone (really) me considere un demonio", The Dalai Lama said with a laugh., Tensing Gyatso, speaking to the press during his second day of visit to Arunachal Pradesh.

The Dalai Lama's visit has been preceded by criticism and warnings from the Chinese authorities that the trip could affect bilateral relations., something rejected by Delhi, who recalled that the religious had previously been to this region six times.

The Dalai Lama insisted today that China has nothing to worry about his visit or his aspirations regarding Tibet., because your goal, said, no es "la independencia", sino permanecer en la "periferia" from that country.

"Siempre admiré el espíritu de la Unión Europea: sovereign individual nations, what is important, but not so much, the most important thing is that (they are united) por un interés común", Gyatso stressed.

Even so, el dalái lama subrayó que el Tíbet aspira al "autogobierno y autonomía" inside china.

The Buddhist leader has been in the town of Bomdila since yesterday, who lived one of the last phases of the brief war that in 1962 confronted India and China over the sovereignty of Arunachal Pradesh, disputed by the two powers since practically the creation of the Indian state in the mid-20th century.

The Dalai Lama has assured that his trip to this region is strictly religious and today he recalled that it has a special biographical value for him., since it was the first territory of India that he set foot on in his flight from the Chinese troops in 1959 to exile.

"Soy el invitado más antiguo del Gobierno indio", The Dalai Lama stated, expressing gratitude to India, which also houses the Tibetan Government in exile in the town of Dharamsala, in the northwest of the country.

China and India maintain regular rounds of contacts to address outstanding issues and grievances on their bilateral agenda in order to ease tensions., although mutual accusations of military incursions in the border area are frequent.

While India controls Arunachal Pradesh, of which China claims 80.000 square kilometers, The communist regime de facto administers another area disputed by both, Aksai Chin, on the western border of the two countries and part of the historic region of Kashmir. EFE
