Tibetan community stages protests against Chinese participation at G-20 Summit
The HinduMembers of the Tibetan Youth Congress held a protest on Friday at north Delhi’s Majnu ka Tila against the participation of the Chinese delegation at the G-20 Summit. Deputy Commissioner of Police Sagar Singh Kalsi said around 200 TYC members had gathered at the Tibetan colony in the area with banners and raised slogans against China. TYC president Gonpo Dhundup said the non-governmental organisation representing the Tibetan diaspora had earlier sought permission to hold a peaceful protest, but the police refused. However, we want to raise the issue of the Chinese government’s forcible occupation of Tibet, compelling the Dalai Lama and numerous Tibetans into exile.” He said the current situation in Tibet is very critical, adding, “We implore the G-20 leaders to recognise and prioritise the Sino-Tibet issue in global discussions.”
