China opposes Czech president's visit to Dalai Lama
China said it "resolutely opposed" Czech President Petr Pavel's meeting in India with Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, and urged the Czech side to "abide by its one-China political commitment" and maintain healthy and stable relations. Czech President Petr Pavel's meeting with Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama.(X/DalaiLama) China's embassy in the Czech Republic posted the notice late on Sunday and said China firmly opposes any form of contact between officials of any country and the Dalai "clique". Pavel met with the Dalai Lama on July 27, it said. "China urges the Czech side to abide by its one-China political commitment, take immediate and effective measures to eliminate the bad influence," the statement said. It added that the Czech side should stop sending "any wrong signals to 'Tibetan independence' separatist forces." The Dalai Lama has been living in exile in India since 1959 following a failed uprising against Chinese rule in Tibet, and Indian foreign relations experts say his presence gives New Delhi leverage against China. India is also home to about 70,000 Tibetans and a Tibetan government-in-exile.

'Running Away From Op Sindoor Debate, Setting Terms': Rijiju Slams Opposition Over House Disruption
Last Updated: Rijiju asked the Opposition not to speak the language of Pakistan and maintain the dignity of the Indian armed forces. Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday urged the Opposition 'not to speak in the language of Pakistan" ahead of the scheduled 16-hour discussion on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha. He also accused the Opposition of trying to avoid the debate. Rijiju's remarks came after the lower house was adjourned till 1 PM, causing a delay in the discussion on Operation Sindoor. 'All parties wanted to hold discussions of 'Operation Sindoor,' and it was decided that a 16-hour-long discussion will be held in Parliament today on 'Operation Sindoor'. However, the INDI Alliance, 10 minutes before the session's commencement, came with a new issue and asked the government to give a commitment that, after this discussion, we will also have a discussion on SIR," said Rijiju. 'Let the opposition not speak the language of Pakistan and run down the morale of our army," said the Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister. 'The Congress and the Opposition should not say anything that could harm the national interests. Whatever they speak against India is used by the Pakistanis and India's enemies outside," Rijiju said, adding, 'It was the wish of the people of India that the PM decided to launch Operation Sindoor through the Indian Army. Today, the Lok Sabha will take up the discussion on the Operation Sindoor in response to the Pahalgam terror attack." view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
