No E.U. demarche, insists India

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI APRIL 29. India today countered the European Union's stance that it had issued a demarche to its ambassador in Spain over the Gujarat developments.

Official sources here said that a conversation between a Spanish official on behalf of the E.U. and the Indian envoy in Madrid, Dilip Lahiri, did take place on April 23, but this discussion could not be construed as a demarche. The issuing of a demarche was a formal exercise and the presentation of a perception on a subject could be considered a demarche only after it had been designated as such prior to the conversation. No such declaration was made by the Spanish official prior to his discussion on the Gujarat issue with Mr. Lahiri.
