India today made clear its opposition to China's participation in projects in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, saying it treats any such activity as illegal. The External Affairs Minister S M Krishna who held talks with his Chinese counterpart Yang Jiechi in Bangalore said, India has also taken up with China the matter relating to issuance of visas to Kashmiris on loose sheets instead of passports and asked it to apply uniform visa norm for all Indian nationals. Mr.Krishna told reporters in response to a question about Chinese participation in developmental projects in PoK that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India. Any activity by any country in Jammu and Kashmir is illegal and this has been made known to all concerned. To a poser about India not being seen as assertive vis-a-vis China, he said New Delhi seeks relations with everyone as equal and based on mutual respect, regardless of<br/>any nation's economic or military might.<br/><br/>The External Affairs Minister also criticised Pakistan for accusing it of funding Taliban, saying such allegations were the "most ridiculous" and "irrational" as the outfit is considered as a dreaded terror organisation in this country. He said, New Delhi has been asking Islamabad to take action against Taliban as also other groups like Laskar-e-Toiba and Jamaat-ud-Dawa , responsible for Mumbai and other attacks in India.
