The 72-year old Nobel laureate living in exile in India, who has targeted by China for allegedly “masterminding” the violence, has insisted that he only wants greater autonomy for Tibet and is not asking for its independence.
Refusing to divulge much about the talks, the Tibetan government-in-exile said the Dalai Lama’s envoys will arrive in Dharamshala on Wednesday to brief him.
Prime Minister of the government-in exile Samdhong Rinpoche told PTI that the envoys had conveyed to the Chinese side the feeling of the Dalai Lama that peace should be restored in Tibet immediately and an amicable solution of the vexed issue found at the earliest.
Dismissing allegations against the Dalai Lama, he dared China to prove them to the world community.
However, the Xinhua maintained that Chinese officials Zhu Weiqun and Sitar told the envoys that the riots in Lhasa on March 12 had given rise to “new obstacles” for resuming contacts and consultations with the “Dalai side”.
