Beijing: China aired its concern over World Uyghur Congress (WUC) leader Dolkun Isa's reported visit to India, saying he is a ‘terrorist’ on Interpol's Red Corner and it is the obligation of all countries to bring him to justice.

"I am not aware of the situation," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said in a written response when asked about the reports that WUC leaders including Dolkun were given permission to meet the Dalai Lama later this month.

"What I want to point out is that Dolkun is a terrorist in red notice of the Interpol and Chinese police. Bringing him to justice is due obligation of relevant countries," Hua said.

India's decision to permit WUC leaders whom China regards as backers of terrorism in its volatile Muslim-dominated Xinjiang province was reported to be in response to Beijing's blocking a ban on Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar in the UN.

Xinjiang, which has over 10 million Uyghur population of Turkik origin Muslims, was on the boil for several years over Uyghur protests against the large-scale settlements of Hans from different part of the country.

China blames East Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM), a militant Islamist group, for terrorist attacks in Xinjiang and other parts of the country.
