New Delhi, Sep 22 - Days after the Indian government asked the media to eschew 'hype' over reported Chinese incursions, China's ambassador Zhang Yan Tuesday met Home Secretary G.K. Pillai here and tried to clarify the picture.
'Nothing is happening. You listen to your leaders,' Zhang told reporters when asked about his nearly half-an-hour meeting with Pillai.
The Chinese ambassador's meeting came in the wake of repeated assertions by top Indian officials and the army chief that reported incursions have occurred due to differences in perception of the Line of Actual Control.
Even Prime Minister Manmohan Singh downplayed the incursions amid reports about Beijng's unhappiness at the way Chinese border transgressions have been reported in the Indian media to conjure up a China threat.
Seeking to deflate hype over reported Chinese intrusions across the undemarcated border, Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao Saturday stressed that there was 'no significant increase' in incursions across all sections of the over 4,000 km border between the two countries.
