India’s condolence message on Tibet quake makes no reference to China

Hindustan Times  

New Delhi: The Indian government on Tuesday condoled the loss of life and property in a powerful earthquake in Tibet, which killed 95 people and injured 130 more, with the message making no direct reference to China. “Government and people of India express condolences on the tragic loss of life and property caused by the devastating earthquake in the Tibet Autonomous Region. Though India and China reached an understanding in October that paved the way for ending a tense military standoff in Ladakh sector of the Line of Actual Control, New Delhi last week flagged its concerns about Beijing’s plan to build a mega dam on the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra river in Tibet and the creation of two counties in an illegally occupied region of Ladakh. China’s state-run Xinhua news agency reported that 95 people were confirmed dead and 130 others injured after the earthquake jolted Dingri county in Tibet Autonomous Region. Many homes within Shigatse city were reduced to rubble, and the Dalai Lama, Tibet’s spiritual leader who fled his homeland in 1959 after it was occupied by China, said he was deeply saddened.
