New Delhi, April 29:: In a harsh criticism of the Government's stand on the Tibetan issue, the BJP on Monday accused it of 'complete surrender' before China and asked it to take note of the Communist giant's spread of influence in India's neighbourhood.

The main Opposition party alleged that the Government's "sole concern has been to please China abroad and placate the CPI(M) at home" and demanded that India should come out clearly on the side of Tibetans in this "hour of oppression".

"India must not remain a mute spectator to the destruction of Tibet's cultural and religious heritage, nor to the plight of its people as they are systematically reduced to a minority in Tibet itself," the party said in its document on current foreign policy issues.

"We are deeply disappointed at the cavern manner in which the Government has dealt with the recent tragedy in Tibet.... What causes far greater distress is the complete surrender of the Government on this issue," it said.

Releasing the document, senior leader Jaswant Singh also slammed the manner in which the government handled the whole issue of Olympic torch run in India, saying it was nothing but "slavery" and was "humiliating" for the entire country.

While the Chinese Foreign Office snubs India by summoning the Indian Ambassador at 2 am, the Government gave the Chinese Ambassador access to the highest quarters to "instruct us" on how the Olympic torch should be protected in India," he remarked.

As a result, almost 20,000 policemen were deployed, Government offices were closed, the Metro was shut down and even the Parliament of India was quarantined and all thus just to ensure that China does not find cause to take offence, he said.
