Dharamsala, March 6 – Tibetans living here in self-imposed exile have urged political parties gearing for elections in India, the United States and Taiwan to raise the Tibet issue.
“We need more constructive support from the political parties to achieve our objective of independance,” the National Democratic Party of Tibet (NDPT) president Acharya Yeshi Phuntsok said here Friday.
The NDPT has also appealed to political parties in these countries “to include the Tibet issue in their party manifestos”.
India is home to the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, who has his government-in-exile here in Himachal Pradesh, as well as some 100,000 Tibetan exiles.
