Tibetans, supporters stage protest demo in Delhi, Dharamsala
New Delhi:
Hundreds of activists of Bharat-Tibet Sahayog Manch along with Tibetan refugees staged a protest demonstration against Chinese aggression on Tibet here on Thursday.
The protest was organised on the occasion of China's 60th National Day Celebrations.
The Tibetan refugees and their Indian supporters heralded their lire against the
Chinese Communist regime by holding banners, placards and Tibetan flags. Tibetan
Monk Yashi Phenzuk said: "The communists are celebrating their 60th National Day,
but there has been no change in the situation of Tibetans and citizens of China
there. It's just that they are celebrating a number and they are showing their
powers to the world. But unhappy citizens by themselves depict that there are
no benefits for people there." China has been accused of ruling Tibet with an
iron fist after occupying it in 1950 after a failed uprising. It has controlled
Tibet since People's Liberation Army troops marched into the region in 1950 and
Beijing considers Tibet as an integral part of its territory. Critics had accused
China of repressing Tibetans' religious aspirations, especially their veneration
for the Dalai Lama, the exiled spiritual leader who won the Nobel Peace Prize
in 1989.
