Thanks for the super fast reply!

When we tried  tp_cli_connection_interface_requests_call_ensure_channel(),
we get the following error:
 failed: Object
/org/freedesktop/Telepathy/Connection/gabble/jabber/alwaysbcool_40gmail_2ecom_2f66f7bbd0
does not have interface
org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection.Interface.Requests
We will check it more. If you have any suggestions, do let us know.

And, we are using telepathy-glib

Regards,
Bala
