Over 400 Tibetans gathered under the banner of Tibetan Youth Congress, Central Executive Committee in protest against the visit of Chinese Vice Foreign Minister and Special Representative Dai Bingguo to Indai and to express disapproval of the ongoing Sino – India Border talks.
The day began with the procession from Jantar Mantar till Parliament Street by raising aggressive slogans to denounce the ongoing Sino – India Border talks and condemning Dai’s visit to India. After 2 minutes of silence in memory of our beloved Tibetan Martyrs, all the Tibetans rose up to sing the Tibetan National Anthem. Mr. Penpa Tsering, the President of Regional Tibetan Youth Congress, Samyeling (MT) read out the TYC (Centrex) statement.
Subsequently, Mr. Dhondup Dorjee, Information Secretary of TYC on behalf of Central Executive Committee addressed the masses on the purpose, significance and relavance for the Tibetans to express our disapproval and condemn the ongoing Border talks between India and China. D.Dorjee said “Neither the Chinese Government nor the Indian Government has any legitimate and moral rights to discuss the territorial boundaries of Tibet. Any aggreements between the two Asian giants by not respecting the historical facts and aspirations of the six million Tibetans may perhaps achieve them a short term gain but will surely lack legitimacy and will have long term loss and impact”.
Later on, The Information Secretary of TYC was escorted by Police Officials of Parlaiment Street Police Station, to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) to submit a Memorandum to the Indian Prime Minister Shri. Manmohan Singh.
For a lasting solution of the disputes and to ensure lasting peace and development in Asia, restoration of an INDEPENDENT TIBET as a historical buffer state is, but inevitable and imminent.
Tibetan Youth Congress reiterates its stand for a complete Independence of Tibet and urge Indian Government and the people for its much prized and impending political support in the realization of the sacred objective and aspiration of the Tibetan people all over the world.
More than 400 Tibetans who are residing at Majnu Ka Tilla Tibetan Refugee Colony and Ladakh Budhvihar took part in today’s demonstration from Jantar Mantar till Parliament Street by closing their Shops, Hotels and Restaurants.
