Meanwhile, the Arunachal Pradesh government Tuesday urged Tuesday New Delhi to act tough vis-a-vis Chinese claims over the state and ignore the Chinese opposition to the Dalai Lama's proposed visit to the region.

'Chinese claims over Arunachal Pradesh are simply baseless and not correct. Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of India and would continue to do so,' Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu told IANS.

Beijing in 2003 gave up its territorial claim over the Indian state of Sikkim but holds on to its stand that nearly all of Arunachal Pradesh belongs to it.

The Dalai Lama, who fled Tibet in 1959 after a failed revolt against Communist rule, lives in Dharamsala, heading a government-in-exile that is not recognised by any country.

India is also home to some 100,000 Tibetans.
